Want to be more adventurous? Take a leaf out of Levison Wood’s book. A former Officer in the British Parachute Regiment (so pretty fearless to start with), Lev has travelled to and worked in over 90 countries, many of them far off the beaten track and relatively precarious, in terms of both terrain and politics. Most well known for his ‘Walking The Nile’ and ‘Walking The Himalayas’ TV documentaries, Lev doesn’t shy away from a challenge, and his expeditions have seen him complete the first ever successful walk across Madagascar from coast to coast (he’s big on walking), climb mountains in Iran and complete scientific research projects in Burundi, to name just a few of his feats so far.
Given the fact that he covered over 4000 miles walking along the Nile alone, how does he maintain both his fitness and composure, and what health obstacles does he face both on his travels on home soil? We quizzed the explorer, photographer and author to find out...
Get The Gloss: What's your overall approach to health, fitness and nutrition?
Levison Wood: I do my best! That’s honestly probably as good as it gets. I try to live as healthy a lifestyle as is possible. Sometimes that’s quite difficult, which seems off seeing as I spend half of the year walking, but the reality is that in a lot of the places I go to, you can’t just walk into a supermarket and grab a nice salad. You can find yourself stuck eating a lot of crap for days on end!
It can be a real health issue, for instance in many places in Africa it’s hard to come across bottled water. You either do what the locals do and drink water that isn’t clean, or the only thing that you can get hold of is a can of coke. So in parts of Africa I lived on Coke and unhealthy food for weeks. When I’m back home I try to eat healthily...
GTG: How much is fitness a priority in your life?
LW: I try to maintain a base level of fitness by going out for a run a couple of times a week and I swim whenever I get the chance. If I’m training for a particular expedition I’ll focus more on what the goals are. I’ve been in recovery for the past 12 months because I broke my shoulder so a lot of the stuff that I’ve been doing has centred on that. That’s where the swimming comes in! Otherwise my fitness routine is pretty ad-hoc. I don’t have a single, overarching lifestyle mantra.
I was in the army, and obviously it was very important to be fit. As a soldier, there will be times when you really need to use that fitness on a practical level, but it’s also about setting an example. If you’re leading a group of soldiers, you need to be the fittest one there. You’re the boss. I’ve kind of taken that attitude forwards and maintain a level of fitness. Obviously I’m ten years older than when I was in the army, and though you’re not going to keep up with the 22 year old racers anymore, there’s no excuse not to be as fit as you can be. It’s about finding time and being disciplined.
GTG: How do you in squeeze fitness and training around a busy schedule?
LW: Squeezing in training is difficult, there’s no doubt about it, especially when you’re living in a city like London where there’s lots of distractions and always something going on. There’s usually something every night for me, whether that’s doing a talk or attending an event. It’s tough but I’m lucky in the sense that for a lot of the year I’m away and doing some kind of exercise naturally, even if that just consists of walking. People can really underrate the value of walking. You’re not necessarily doing exhausting cardio, but if you walk 20-30 miles a day you’ll definitely lose weight, develop muscle and improve your general, all-round strength! | https://www.getthegloss.com/health/fitness/how-i-stay-fit-levison-wood | 2022-07-04T20:43:28Z | https://www.getthegloss.com/health/fitness/how-i-stay-fit-levison-wood | true | 1 |
ROME (AP) — The Italian government on Monday declared a state of emergency for much of the rain-parched north amid a drought, freeing up 36.5 million euros (about $38 million) in funds for the heavily agricultural regions.
The aid was approved at a late evening Cabinet meeting.
The Po River, whose waters help irrigate rice paddies, farm fields and grazing land for cows, including some whose milk is used to make prized Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, is at its lowest level in about 70 years.
Emergency decrees were decided for five regions: Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto, reflecting droughts in the Po River and eastern Alpine basins.
Some cities and towns in the north, including Verona, in Veneto, have put restrictions on water use by citizens.
The drought also has started to affect south-central Italy.
On Rome’s Tiber River, plants growing on the riverbed can be seen on the surface and debris floats in the shallow waters.
“The Tiber, as I can say from my 40 years’ experience on the river, has never had a situation like this,” Giulio Bendandi, a boatman, told AP on Monday.
This year, Italy has received only half the average rainfall of the past 30 years, according to state-run research body CNR. | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Drought-emergency-declared-for-northern-Italy-17283765.php | 2022-07-04T20:45:54Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Drought-emergency-declared-for-northern-Italy-17283765.php | false | 32 |
How to pick the best outdoor pizza oven
Whether old, young, vegan or omnivorous, just about everybody loves pizza. With so many alternatives to wheat and cheese, it can even be an allergy-friendly dish. And there’s no party like a pizza party, especially when that pizza party is in your backyard.
While you can make a pizza in a standard oven, it takes care and a few extra tricks, and it can’t match the charred crust and stretchy cheese of a mom-and-pop pizza place. Luckily for pie-loving consumers, there are more great home pizza ovens to choose from than ever before.
What makes a good pizza oven?
The biggest reason that a normal oven doesn’t make great pizza is that it doesn’t get hot enough, especially on the bottom. Commercial pizza ovens put the crust in direct contact with a nearly 1,000-degree surface, something no home oven can do.
Furthermore, that kind of heat won’t just stay in the oven. Unless you have industrial-grade ventilation in your kitchen, an outdoor pizza oven is the way to go for the most satisfying results.
Fuel type
Almost all outdoor pizza ovens use either gas or wood as a heat source. Gas models are pretty straightforward. Most are designed for propane, but some are outfitted for natural gas. You can also buy kits that convert some propane ovens to natural gas, although that will make them considerably less portable. Once lit, the gas burner heats the entire oven, which is engineered to retain as much heat as possible. A great deal of that heat is stored in the lower surface, in a dense layer of stone or metal. The heat radiates throughout the oven’s body and leads to the perfect temperature for cooking pizza.
Pellet-fired pizza ovens are only slightly different. Unlike traditional wood-fired pizza ovens, where you actually start a fire inside the main cavity, most pellet ovens have a hopper on the back that you fill with pellets. You light the pellets, which burn similarly to charcoal, and that flame heats the body of the oven. Just like with professional wood-fired ovens, you’ll end up with the unmistakable flavor of savory wood smoke baked into your pie.
They both work well, especially with the latest refinements offered by the most experienced manufacturers. The biggest differences are that gas ovens are much easier to clean, but pellet ovens impart a complex, iconic smokey flavor. It’s also easier to travel with wood pellets than bulky propane tanks. At any rate, you might not have to decide up front, because some of today’s best pizza ovens work with both gas and wood pellets.
Size
If you’re cooking pizzas at restaurant-level temperatures of 900+ degrees, you can finish the job pretty quickly. In that light, you don’t necessarily have to make one gigantic pie for the entire party, which you would have to do using a common oven. In other words, you don’t need a massive, 2-foot-wide pizza oven when you can fire one off in just 3 minutes.
The most affordable high-quality pizza ovens can accommodate a roughly 12-inch pizza. That’s easily one entire serving, and in many cases, it’s two. But if you plan on regularly hosting decent-size gatherings, consider a 16-inch model. It will take a bit longer to heat up and use slightly more fuel, but it’s a good choice if you have the space for it.
Portability
Many outdoor pizza ovens are permanent installations made of brick or some sort of masonry. You can invest in one of those if you want, but they are more expensive and take a great deal of work and money to build. Plus, you can’t take a brick oven to a tailgate party.
Some of today’s best pizza ovens exist at the exact opposite end of the spectrum. In fact, one of the most highly regarded options, the Ooni Koda, weighs only 30 pounds, which is hundreds less than a brick pizza oven. The point is, you don’t have to compromise and get something questionable if you want to host a pizza party in the park or at somebody else’s house. Some of today’s best options are engineered for exactly that.
Best outdoor pizza ovens
It’s well-made, reasonably portable and can use wood pellets, charcoal and even gas as fuel (although gas requires a separate adapter). Since it’s the most versatile, it’s the best choice for most users.
Sold by Ooni, Amazon and Sur La Table
This is the best option for making large pizzas, although it’s costly and not the most portable. If you love pizza and can afford it, though, it’s a great investment.
Sold by Ooni, Amazon and Sur La Table
It’s Ooni’s most affordable and lightweight option. If you don’t want to bother with propane when you take it to the park, it’s the one to get, although it doesn’t look quite as polished as the rest.
Sold by Ooni, Amazon and Sur La Table
It’s more compact and maintains its temperature more consistently than most others due to better insulation and a thicker stone. However, it’s relatively expensive, not very portable and can only make 10-inch pies.
Sold by Amazon
It’s considerably less expensive than the rest, but it doesn’t quite char a crust like the others because it only gets up to 750 degrees. Nonetheless, it’s a high-performing choice and a great value.
Sold by Amazon
This combination grill and pizza oven is surprisingly affordable for how versatile it is and how hot it gets. However, you can’t fuel it with wood pellets, only gas.
Sold by Amazon
This one reaches roughly 800 degrees and weighs less than 30 pounds, but costs only half of its competitors. It works well if you use it carefully, but it doesn’t have the same exceptional build quality as the more expensive models.
Sold by Amazon
This is the most compact, the cleanest and the best-looking option from the most popular manufacturer. It’s a good choice if you don’t have room for a chimney.
This large model is slightly less expensive than the other 16-inch option, but it only works with gas. It also takes a little longer to heat up than Ooni’s other models.
Sold by Ooni, Amazon and Sur La Table
Thanks to its wide mouth, it’s perfect for making two personal-size pizzas at once. It’s designed to use a one-pound propane cylinder, and includes a 5-foot hose and regulator for large tanks.
Sold by Amazon
Cuore Ovens 1000 Plus Wood-Fired Oven Kit
This 36-inch behemoth weighs 660 pounds and is even more efficient than many brick pizza ovens, yet costs a fraction of the price at just over $1,000. It takes a decent amount of work to put together, though, and even more to finish its exterior.

Currently open at Artspace 3042, a part of the Ribong art hub curated by San (Santoshima), is A Nightingale Sang by Bleu (Bleu Oleander), a visually engaging celebration of the magic of working with prims in Second Life.
The piece takes its title from the British romantic song A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (lyrics by Eric Maschwitz and music by Manning Sherwin), published in 1940; specifically the opening to lines of what has become the more traditional rendition of the song (Maschwitz actually wrote an initial opening verse that tends to be dropped from the majority of recordings):
That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air.
However, rather than referencing the love between two people, the lyrics here are used to underline that moment when human imagination and expression meet the creative promise and digital beauty of the humble prim, a moment when the most magical of relationships can begin.
In this age of external mesh tools, LODs, uploads and the need to familiarise oneself with dozens of workflows and practices in order to create something within the digital void, it is easy to forget just how powerful and rich Second Life’s in-built tools and capabilities are in their ability to give all of us the ability to build and create.
Prims don’t need complex workflows or multiple different applications; everything needed to create something captivating lies right here within the viewer, or, thanks to things like texture and script libraries, just a few clicks of the mouse away. And the skills to bring it all together can be acquired whilst remaining within Second Life, rather than far away within the near-isolation of this or that graphics tool.
From the landing point A Nightingale Sang takes visitors on a journey through a darkened space in which reside the most marvellous sculptures created and animated by Bleu. In both 2D and 3D, all of them are constructed by bringing prims together and then using scripts, textures, and the tools of the viewer – notably, for the visitor, the use of Advanced Lighting Model (Preferences → Graphics → make sure Advanced Lighting Model (ALM) is checked – this will also enable projected lighting without the need to keep Shadows enabled) – to create a richly visual installation.
Equally spaced through out the rising and falling levels of the space, the pieces are perfectly positioned so that each can be appreciated in turn – again, I’d advise using the local environment settings (World → Environment → Use Shared Environment). Also, as you explore, don’t forget to look up as well as around.
These pieces are simple yet complex living demonstrations of how we can use the tools before us to bring life to what might initially look to be little more than simple shapes to create something unique; of how once we have learn to rez and glue, an entire world of potential lies within our grasp, a world we can explore alone or with friends and in which the limits as to how far we go are defined by how far we want to go.
At the top of the installation can be found a little chapel, on the “alter” of which sit those basic shapes available within the Build floater that open the door to universe of creativity. Because, as someone once said: it all starts with a cube.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Juan Soto said an MRI on his left calf showed no damage after he left the Washington Nationals game Sunday against the Miami Marlins because of tightness, and he plans to take the situation day by day.
“Everything was fine,” Soto said. “We gonna be good. They said it's just a little tight, so just going to take a couple days and see how it goes.”
Soto was not in Washington's lineup Monday, but he pinch hit in the eighth and drew a walk.
The 23-year-old star felt something tighten up behind his left knee and in his calf after making a throw in right field in the top of the third inning Sunday. He exited after running the bases and getting involved in a rundown in the bottom of the fourth.
“It didn’t feel that well, so I just take the decision to pull out of the game and make sure everything’s fine before I keep going and make it worse,” Soto said. “You don’t want to go out of the game that easy. I want to be out there, I want to give my 100%, so I wanted to try."
Soto entered Sunday on an eight-game hitting streak. It makes sense for the Nats to be extra cautious with the face of the franchise, whom they are attempting to sign to a long-term contract.
Teammates were worried about Soto before he got the MRI, but he's already showing some progress.
“Today I feel better, and I hope I feel better tomorrow, too, and we take it from there,” Soto said. “I’m just going to see how good it is."
Washington opens a three-game series at NL East-rival Philadelphia on Tuesday. Right-hander Jackson Tetreault won't pitch against the Phillies after going on the 15-day injured list with a stress fracture in the scapula in his right shoulder.
Tetreault was dealing with some discomfort, then couldn't lift that arm very high after starting Saturday and figured it was time to say something. His MRI showed far worse news than Soto's.
“I would much rather get this fixed than continue to pitch with it and maybe not do well and end up hurting the team,” he said. “As much as I want to be out there, this is for the best.”

Good morning. My name is Jonathan, and I will be your conference facilitator today. Welcome to Chevron’s Second Quarter 2019 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers’ remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session, and instructions will be given at that time. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded.
I would now turn the conference call over to the General Manager of Investor Relations of Chevron Corporation, Mr. Wayne Borduin. Please go ahead.
Wayne Borduin
Thank you Jonathan, and welcome to Chevron's second quarter earnings call and webcast. On the call with me today are Jay Johnson, EVP of Upstream; and Pierre Breber, CFO. We'll refer to the slides that are available on Chevron's website.
Before we get started, please be reminded that this presentation contains estimates, projections, and other forward-looking statements. Please review the cautionary statement and important information for investors and stockholders on slide 2.
Turning to slide 3. And Pierre?
Pierre Breber
Thanks, Wayne. We had another solid quarter. The company delivered record production, led by continued strength in the Permian Basin and at Wheatstone in Australia. Jay will provide more detail shortly.
First, an overview of our financial results. Earnings were $4.3 billion or $2.27 per share. This is the highest reported quarterly result since the third quarter 2014 when Brent was over $100 a barrel. The quarter's results include special lighting gains, totaling $920 million from the Anadarko termination fee and a tax rate change in Alberta. Foreign exchange gains for the quarter were $15 million. Excluding special items and FX gains earnings were $3.4 billion or $1.77 per share.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures can be found in the appendix to this presentation. Cash flow from operations was almost $8 billion excluding working capital changes. We also maintained a strong balance sheet with a low debt ratio.
Importantly our continued strong cash flow allowed us to deliver on our commitment to return significant cash to our shareholders. During the quarter, we paid over $2 billion in dividends. And after terminating our agreement with Anadarko, we resumed buybacks and repurchased $1 billion of shares during the quarter. Going forward we expect share buybacks at the $5 billion annual run rate or $1.25 billion per quarter, in line with our updated guidance stated in May.
We also continued to maintain capital discipline with a focus on increasing returns. Year-to-date organic CapEx was $9.6 billion, a little less than half of our $20 billion budget. Total CapEx, which includes acquisition costs that are unbudgeted such as the purchase of the Pasadena refinery, totaled $10 billion.
Turning to slide 4. Cash flow was strong and the trend is in line with full year guidance. Cash flow from operations excluding working capital increased this quarter due to growing production volumes and higher liquids realizations as well as the termination fee received from Anadarko.
Free cash flow, excluding working capital increased to $4.3 billion and supported the dividend, debt reduction and share buybacks. The company's cash flow breakeven remains in the low 50s on a Brent basis year-to-date.
Asset sale proceeds added to our cash flow and further lowered the breakeven while high-grading our portfolio. Since the beginning of 2018, asset sale proceeds have totaled $2.9 billion and we remain on track to divest $5 billion to $10 billion of assets by 2020.
Turning to Slide 5, second quarter 2019 earnings of $4.3 billion increased about $900 million versus the prior year. Excluding special items and FX, upstream earnings were relatively flat as higher production was offset by lower realizations. Downstream earnings also were relatively flat as timing effects were offset by lower margins. The variance in the other segment was primarily the result of lower corporate charges.
Turning to Slide 6, compared to the first quarter, second quarter earnings increased by about $1.7 billion. Excluding special items and FX, upstream results were roughly flat as higher liftings in crude realizations were offset by lower gas realizations, higher DD&A, and other expenses.
Australia gas realizations were lower primarily due to lower LNG spot prices and a higher ratio of spot LNG sales, while U.S. gas realizations reflected weaker Henry Hub and Waha pricing. Downstream earnings excluding FX improved by about $520 million due to stronger U.S. West Coast refining and marketing margins and timing effects, partly offset by the impact of planned downtime. The variance in the other segment largely reflects lower corporate charges.
I'll now pass it to Jay.
Jay Johnson
Thanks Pierre. On Slide 7, second quarter oil equivalent production increased 9% compared to a year ago with shale and tight production increasing in the Delaware and Midland Basin and production from major capital projects increasing with ramp-ups at Wheatstone, Hebron, and Big Foot. Our base business production increased as Gulf of Mexico and other deepwater brownfield developments more than offset natural declines across the portfolio.
Turning to Slide 8, second quarter production was strong at more than 3 million barrels a day for the third straight quarter. Year-to-date production excluding asset sales is about 5% higher than 2018 consistent with our guidance of 4% to 7% growth as shown by the middle bar.
Second quarter production was impacted by planned turnarounds and asset sales which together had an impact of almost 70,000 barrels a day. Looking forward to the second half of the year, we expect production growth to be primarily driven by our shale and tight assets as well as the continued ramp-up of Big Foot and Hebron. This growth will be partially offset by higher turnaround activity in the third quarter. Our full year outlook is expected to be in line with this guidance even before adjusting for the entitlement impacts of higher prices.
Let's turn to the Permian. In the next three slides, I'll provide some additional information regarding the attractive performance and the potential of this asset. Permian shale and tight production continues to track the guidance we provided at our 2019 Security Analyst Meeting. In the second quarter, production was 421,000 barrels of oil-equivalent per day, an increase of over 150,000 barrels a day, or about 55% relative to the same quarter last year. The strong performance demonstrates our track record of consistent execution and we expect to deliver 900,000 barrels per day in 2023 with a relatively steady rig count.
Moving to the mix of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas about three-quarters of our Permian production is liquids and half of our production is crude oil. We expect these proportions to continue throughout the forecasted period. As discussed in the past, we have an advantaged royalty position across the Permian, and it's comprised of two distinct components. First, we have a royalty benefit shown on the dotted blue wedge as our actual royalty rate is lower than the standard royalty rate.
The second component comes from the royalty barrels shown by the hashed blue wedge, which are the barrels we received from the acreage that we've leased to other producers. Of course, these barrels require no Chevron capital. In total, these royalty contributions make up about 20% of our production throughout the five-year period and contribute to delivering our expected production profile.
Let's turn to slide 10. Our work to reduce unit cost and increase productivity continues. We're optimizing our Permian factory and maintaining our focus on delivering industry-leading returns. This slide shows the progress, we've made since 2016. As shown on the left, we continue to drive higher EURs by optimizing well spacing, landing zones, and completions. The average lateral length of our wells continues to increase and is expected to approach 10,000 feet next year as we execute our core-up strategy for our development areas.
As illustrated in the upper right, these efforts translate into a sustained reduction in unit development and production costs. The chart on the lower right shows that the royalty benefit alone leads to returns that are about 10 percentage points higher than a comparable well subject to the standard royalty burden. As we said before, our strategy in the Permian is to be highly competitive in our execution, leverage our midstream capability and use our advantaged royalty position to make us the clear leader in financial returns.
Slide 11 shows that we're well on our way. As stated in March, we expect to be free cash flow positive next year, and we expect to grow free cash flow each year thereafter. Earnings are expected to strengthen exceeding $4 billion in 2023. All of this assumes the same reference prices communicated at our 2019 Security Analyst Meeting.
As the Permian production increases, we expect to see operational cash flow nearly twice the level of C&E by 2023 and a return on capital employed of about 30% all delivered by an optimized ratable factory with relatively low execution risk.
To more than double production, while being free cash flow positive, every year starting next year, and generate returns on capital in excess of 20% along the way, shows why this is an attractive investment opportunity for our company and its shareholders. We're focused on value not volume and our true measure of success is building sustainable business with strong free cash flow and growing returns.
Let's turn to slide 12. In the Gulf of Mexico, we have a robust portfolio that's performing well, generates good value and has attractive investment opportunities at each stage of development. We have a strong queue of exploration prospects that we're actively evaluating and maturing.
Earlier this year, we participated in the Blacktip exploration well, which resulted in the discovery near Perdido and Whale. The well encountered more than 400 feet of net pay and is within tieback distance. Whale and Ballymore are progressing through the appraisal phase to further assess the size of the resource. As mentioned in March, we're targeting unit development cost of $16 to $20 a barrel for new development in the Gulf of Mexico.
Anchor continues to progress towards FID, which is expected by early next year. The technology we're developing to exploit these higher-pressure reservoirs will allow us to target other resource opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico. At Mad Dog 2, drilling and fabrication is progressing as planned and the project is expected to deliver first oil in 2021.
And we expect Big Foot and Stampede to increase production as we bring on additional wells. We're also pursuing highly economic brownfield developments at existing assets such as Jack/St. Malo and Perdido. With our leading technology, experienced workforce and broad portfolio, we're continuing to add value in the Gulf of Mexico.
Turning to slide 13. I had the opportunity to visit Kazakhstan again in June and we continue to make good progress with the Future Growth Wellhead Pressure Management project at Tengiz. The project's now 65% complete and remains on track for first oil in 2022. As we discussed at the March analyst meeting, this is another critical year for the project, as we're fully engaged with module fabrication, transportation and installation and that's our first full year of mechanical, electrical and implementation work at site.
Detailed engineering and procurement are almost complete, reducing the risk of further impact on fabrication and construction activities. We're on schedule to close out work at three of the four fabrication yards this year. The logistics system is working well and modules are being delivered, restacked and set on foundations.
As reported in the media on June 29, one of our contractors at the 3GP site experienced an interpersonal conflict that resulted in the suspension of construction activity at the site for several days. Production operations and other FGP sites were not affected by the incident. And overall, the event is expected to have a relatively minor impact on project progress. With respect to construction, we're just under 40% complete. Looking ahead, our focus continues to shift to productivity at site where we're seeing good performance from our workforce and steady improvement in productivity.
With that, I'll turn it back over to Pierre.
Pierre Breber
Thanks, Jay. Slide 14 highlights some recent commercial developments. First, through our joint venture, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, we announced two new petrochemical investments, one in the U.S. Gulf Coast and one in Qatar. Each is in the joint venture with Qatar Petroleum. The long-term fundamentals of chemicals are strong. We believe these projects offer attractive returns underpinned by advantaged feedstocks, world-class scale and leading technology.
Also in the quarter, we closed the sale of our interest in Denmark and executed an agreement to sell our U.K. Central, North Sea fields which we expect to close later this year. Additionally, we completed our acquisition of the Pasadena refinery which will enable us to supply more of our retail market in the region and process more domestic light oil.
In the renewable space, we recently agreed to purchase wind power to supply our Permian operations. This is a cost-effective renewable energy alternative to our current electricity supply in the Permian.
Also Chevron executed an agreement to be an equity partner in CalBioGas, a joint venture to produce end market, dairy biomethane as a vehicle fuel in California. The project will capture methane that otherwise would be vented into the atmosphere and process it into renewable natural gas.
Turning to slide 15. Our performance this quarter reinforces four key messages you've heard from us in the past. First, we have an advantaged portfolio that is delivering today and is positioned to do so over the long-term as Jay highlighted in the Permian Gulf of Mexico and at Tengiz.
Second, with continued positive free cash flow this year we have the strongest balance sheet in the industry, a low cash breakeven and resilience if prices fall. Third, we are disciplined with capital spending on-track with our budget and committed to increasing returns.
And fourth, we had a total cash yield of about 6% with the resumption of our share buybacks. Bottom line we are positioned to deliver superior financial performance to our shareholders consistently for many years to come. Now looking ahead, we continue to expect….

Operator: Ladies and gentlemen, please remain on the line. The conference call will resume momentarily. Once again, please remain on the line. The conference call will resume momentarily.
Checking to see if I can hear our speakers? Hello?
Wayne Borduin
We’re here. Thanks, Jonathan.
Operator
Thank you. Would you like to take questions at this time?
Wayne Borduin
I believe we were cut off prematurely, so actually we'll begin with slide 16.
Operator
All right. You may resume.
Pierre Breber
Okay. Thank you, Jonathan. This is Pierre and we understand that we cut off at slide 16, so I'm going to resume there and we're going to look ahead. In Upstream, we continue to expect 2019 production growth to be 4% to 7%, excluding 2019 asset sales. Planned turnarounds in Kazakhstan and Nigeria and the North West Shelf and Australia as well as the early July hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico are expected to impact production in the third quarter.
Our full year guidance for TCO co-lending is unchanged at $2 billion depending upon price, investment profile, and its dividends. In downstream, we expect high level of refinery turnaround activity in the third quarter which guides to an estimated after-tax earnings impact of more than $200 million. For the third quarter, we expect a repurchase -- we expect to repurchase shares at a rate of $1.2 billion per quarter.
With that I'll hand the call back over to Wayne.
Wayne Borduin
Thanks Pierre. That concludes our prepared remarks. We're now ready to take your questions. Keep in mind that we do have a full queue, so please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. We’ll do our best to get all of your questions answered. Jonathan, please open the lines.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Phil Gresh from JPMorgan. Your question please.
Phil Gresh
Yes, hi good morning. Can you hear me all right?
Wayne Borduin
Good morning Phil.
Phil Gresh
Yes. So, I guess first question just looking at this Permian additional disclosure and your cash flow expectations, it seems like what you're implying here is that you can grow earnings and cash flow and the ratio of cash flow to CapEx keeps going up. So, it seems to imply pretty flattish CapEx profile, which I think is fairly consistent with the rig count trajectory you talked about at Analyst Day. So, I was wondering if you could maybe just kind of walk through that detail.
And then secondarily with -- related to that I know you recently had an announcement that you made with enterprise talking about takeaway out of the Permian. I was just wondering how that all feeds into this ability to ensure you get the best realizations for your production. Thanks.
Jay Johnson
Okay. I'll take it and Pierre may want to add some at the end. From a CapEx standpoint, Phil, we are looking to maintain a relatively flat profile in capital and that's because essentially we're looking to have a very steady rig fleet as we go forward. We have 20 company-operated rigs. Those are basically on a 100% basis because we operate our own licenses.
And then we look for about 30 roughly gross non-operated rigs which equates to about seven to 10 net non-operated rigs. So, as we move that forward, we expect to see capital relatively constant. We're building out infrastructure of course and we always have some exploration activity out in front of us and we also do pilot work to ensure that we are continuing to drive to increase the recovery and efficiency of our developments.
In terms of the takeaway capacity, I'll break it into three different streams. I'll start with the crude oil and basically for 2019, we're well covered on our takeaway capacity for crude oil. In 2020, we are also covered for the year. There may be periods of tightness in length as we move through the year, but we recently executed an agreement with enterprise not only for takeaway capacity out of the Permian Basin, but also for export capacity that will lengthen our ability to supply crude not only in the domestic U.S., but internationally.
When we look at natural gas liquids, we have full takeaway capacity for this year and next year. And as we turn to gas, we really think of gas in two ways. The first is just basic flow assurance. We need to be able to move the gas without having to flare or have any threat of mitigating production in our avoidance of flaring. So we have 100% flow assurance set up for the balance of this year and next year.
In terms of takeaway of gas from the basin outward for export, what we look at is this year we're at about 20% of our gas can be exported from the basin. And by the end of this year, we expect to be about 25%. By the end of next year we should be more like 60% of our gas being exported from the basin gives us more exposure to other price structures rather than just the Waha.
Wayne Borduin
Thanks, Phil.
Phil Gresh
Okay, great. That’s helpful. Just my follow-up question then for Pierre would just be some of your balance sheet commentary. Your net debt-to-cap, I believe is a low sicne it’s been since mid-2015. I know you increased the buyback a bit. There's the situation where you had an M&A considerations there that you walked away from, but I guess how do you think about that level of financial leverage? And where you want to keep that balance sheet for opportunities that might present themselves? Thanks.
Pierre Breber
Yeah. Well, thanks Phil. Look our cash generation has been strong and we've been returning cash to shareholders and we increased our dividend 6% early this year. As you mentioned we raised our guidance on the share buyback rate in May to $5 billion per year. We're being very disciplined with capital, managing to our $20 billion organic budget in 2019. So the way the math works, no doubt in the short-term, our strong balance sheet gets even stronger. That's okay. Over time this strong cash generation will be returned to shareholders in the form of higher dividends and a sustained share buyback program.
That's the way I would think about it. I won't comment on M&A. We, obviously, have -- we're in a very financially strong position, same time we got a great value proposition for our shareholders that we've communicated at our March Analyst Day and then Jay provided more insight into some key elements today and that's what we're focused on delivering.
Wayne Borduin
Thanks, Phil.
Phil Gresh
Thank you.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Neil Mehta from Goldman Sachs. Your question please.
Neil Mehta
Good morning team. I guess, the first question I have Jay, you just came back from Kazakhstan sounds like. There's – there was some questions around labor productivity as it relates to Tengiz. Can you just confirm everything is on track and then just in terms of the capital budget as well your confidence level in achieving the targets that you set out?
Jay Johnson
Yes. We just did come back in June and we talked about this at the Security Analyst Meeting and in previous calls. A big focus at site now is on labor productivity. We've got a lot of work to do as the modules come in or set on foundations. Last year we're primarily focused on civils and undergrounds. This year we're making the transition to mechanical, electrical and instrumentation.
As we look forward we have to get through commissioning and then all the start-up activities. So we've put in place specific tools that can really help us, not only drive the productivity but understand what the drivers are, where we have gaps, from where expectations are and what we need to do to close those.
Those tools are now widespread across the site and are proving to be very effective, so we've seen steadily improving productivity across the workforce and are actually feeling pretty good about where the execution is headed at this point. But it's early days. We're 40%, roughly complete on construction and we've got a lot of man-hours to go over the next couple of years.
In terms of the overall capital program, you've seen we continue to be right in the middle, right on our guidance. We're about 50% expanded on our Chevron C&E through mid-year and we still expect to maintain our guidance of $18 billion to $20 billion for next year, so that should give you a pretty good idea of where things sit.
Neil Mehta
Appreciate this. And just a follow-up question, this might be for you Pierre. You've gotten a lot of credit from investors for stepping away from the Anadarko potential transaction and showing the capital discipline. Since the deal closed, the stock has materially outperformed other constituents of the XLE or XOP and others, independent E&Ps and that multiple arbitrage or share price ratio arbitrage seems to be opening up again. Just want to get your thoughts on M&A. Again, it felt opportunistic, but is another opportunity potentially opening up here?
Pierre Breber
Yeah. No. Thanks Neil. Look, I honestly can't speculate on M&A. What I can restate is we have a very strong value proposition for our shareholders. And if I can just -- some of the key elements that we communicated in March is 3% to 4% production growth guidance through 2023, a very disciplined capital program.
Jay provided the 2020 guidance of $18 billion to $20 billion and longer-term guidance of $19 billion to $22 billion from 2021 to 2023. We have leading upstream cash flow margins, leading earnings margins and we're improving cash return on capital employed by more than 3%. So, we clearly do not need to do a deal.
That said, as you said, we have been opportunistic in the past if we see a good strategic fit at a good price, at a good value. And two recent examples would be the Pasadena refinery and Anadarko. But we've moved on and we're focused on delivering growing earnings and cash flows for our shareholder.
Neil Mehta
Thanks Pierre.
Pierre Breber
Thanks, Neil.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Alastair Syme from Citi. Your question, please.
Alastair Syme
Good afternoon. I just had a couple of questions. One, can you talk a little bit about Anchor, which you're hoping to do FID next year? What do you think has to happen to move that forward? Because my understanding is, there are still some quite significant technological challenges. And the follow-up, if you can just talk a little bit, it's just sort of a question, just on the asset sales, that you announced the U.K. asset sales in the quarter. Can you talk about what happens on the decommissioning of liabilities associated with those assets, please?
Jay Johnson
Yeah. So with Anchor, we are in the FEED process, so this is doing all the preliminary engineering work prior to the detailed engineering. I would say there are two primary technologies to be developed to support Anchor. And in developing for Anchor, we'll also have these available for other opportunities that we foresee.
The first is just the high-pressured technology, getting to that 20,000-psi. That's well along and we really -- it really comes down to just thicker seal. We're in the qualification stages and we really don't see that as a major technology shift. It's just a matter of working through the process. And the second is the higher hook loads for deeper wells and this will also support potential developments like Ballymore.
So neither of those do we regard as a particularly challenging technological advance, but an important one to get finished. So we do expect to be on path with Anchor for FID early in the next year.
In terms of the North Sea deal, we really don't get into the details of any of our commercial transactions. I can't really comment too much on that, other than to say, as an overall package we're very comfortable with the transaction as its been constructed and are working with the buyer to move it forward to close.
Pierre Breber
Yes. And I think I can add to Jay's comments that, we're fully in-tune with the importance of embedded obligations and that's carefully considered in terms of the financial strength of the partners or the parties that we transact with. And again we won't be specific as it's commercially sensitive, but its -- as you can imagine the point of negotiation and something that we don't intend to be exposed to over time.
Alastair Syme
Thanks very much.
Pierre Breber
Thanks Alastair.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Biraj Borkhataria from RBC Capital Markets. Your question please.
Biraj Borkhataria
Hi, thanks for taking my question. And apologies, if I miss this on the call but, I have a question on LNG. You mentioned a higher ratio of spot LNG sales in the quarter. Could you just talk through what was driving that? One of your payers has talked about buyers for their contracts not taking their full nominations. I was wondering if that was the issue or there's something else there. Thank you.
James Johnson
Yes, thanks Biraj. I'll talk first in general because there's an element of -- as we gain in our performance, the facilities are performing very well, reliability is coming up, we have extra production over and above what we had planned and so all that production is going to be exposed to spot prices. And so that's going to be an ongoing thing.
In the second quarter specifically, we certainly had excellent performance at both Gorgon and Wheatstone. And so we had extra production coming from that. But at the same time we also deferred a turnaround, so we had a turnaround scheduled in the second quarter that's been moved to the fourth. So we had extra cargoes there that were exposed to spot.
We do have some downward flex that was exercised by our purchasers in the shoulder months and that occurred in the second quarter. And then finally, there's also an element even in our fixed-term contracts where we had about a 3 to 6 month delay in the oil pricing that they're linked to and so we saw some downward movement in that element.
So together those all really drive the realizations in the second quarter for our LNG. But as I say going forward, we do expect to see increased production as our reliabilities been higher and our overall goal would be to term that up and get closer to what our expected production is as we gain continued confidence in the reliability of the facilities.
Biraj Borkhataria
That's great color. And just a quick follow-up. At Gorgon in particular I think in the past you talked about debottlenecking the project to increased capacity buy maybe 10% or 15%. Could you just update us on where we are now and relative to the original nameplate?
James Johnson
Yes I don't recall us giving out specific guidance on percentages of increase. Our focus right now is doing a couple of things. First is just getting the reliability increasingly high and we've seen very good reliability. We're still learning these facilities as we continue to operate and we built learnings from some of the shutdowns and turnarounds that we've already accomplished in the future ones.
As we look forward, what we are looking at is we're collecting the data literally daily as we move through an annual cycle of the ambient conditions as well as the performance of the plan. We look for where the restructuring to keep us from going to the next level of production.
At this point in time, I'd say we're probably 2% above where we expect it to be on Gorgon production, around 6% above on Wheatstone. But it's an ongoing effort as we move forward to get more out of our existing investments and infrastructure.
Wayne Borduin
Thanks, Biraj.
Biraj Borkhataria
Thank you very much.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jon Rigby from UBS. Your question please.
Jon Rigby
Okay, thank you. Yeah. The first is the Anadarko transaction during that process, I felt that you indicated that you had capacity and the willingness to deepen your deepwater participation globally and you spoke quite enthusiastically about adding extra LNG to your portfolio, creating a global position et cetera. So as you move forward with new opportunities and when they arise, is -- thematically outside of the U. S. is that where we should expect you to be appearing or looking?
And then the second, just very specifically, with the new refinery asset, what are the plans for that now you've got ownership of it? Thanks.
Pierre Breber
Yeah. Thanks Jon. This is Pierre and I'll start. I said earlier we moved on, but look we’ll go back to Anadarko a little bit here. Look there are several elements of it, the transaction there was the FID in the Permian, there was the FID in the Gulf of Mexico and there was the LNG. And there was the ability to get synergies out of the transaction and do it at an attractive price that we thought was good for their shareholders and good for our shareholders.
So that -- if you want to get into our thinking we’re -- adding LNG is something that absolutely we are interested in doing. We've got a great position in Australia that Jay just talked about that's generating a lot of cash where we have opportunities to debottleneck and potentially add to that over time. And you'd expect that we are -- we're always working the portfolio and LNG is one of the asset classes that we're interested in and we'll pursue opportunities in that space. That makes sense for the company and our shareholders.
In terms of Pasadena, we've had three very clear strategic objectives on it. One was to provide some equity product into our retail network in Texas. The second was to coordinate and optimize feedstocks and other flows between Texas and our refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi. And the third was to process more domestic light oil and increasingly try to position and retool the refinery a little bit to take more and more Permian oil.
So really, I mean there -- it's very early days, but I'd say everything is on track and aligned with the strategic rationale. So there's been no surprise in terms of those three objectives. We feel we can meet them with the acquisition. We've had some early wins. In fact over the next few months we expect to run up to 30,000 barrels a day of Permian crude oil. That's a little more than we actually had thought at this point in time. Also we know there's work to do as expected on maintenance and reliability of the facility. So everything is on track and we feel good about it but it's early days. Thanks, Jon.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jason Gammel from Jefferies. Your question please.
Jason Gammel
Thanks very much. Hello guys. I had a couple on the Permian, slide number 10. I guess the first one would be, obviously, some fairly impressive absolute performance in increasing EUR and decreasing development production cost on an absolute basis. I know you do a lot of benchmarking. How would you say stack up against industry in those areas now?
James Johnson
Yes it's a good question, Jason. I think the -- we do, do a lot of benchmarking and this continues to be an evolving story. So I would say, we're competitive on these areas. We have a very good understanding particularly in terms of the type curves across the entire basin.
We have the capability and actually run decline curves across not only our own, but competitors as well so that we understand how our wells are performing and we're actually very comfortable with the overall performance not only in terms of the recoveries, but the economics that we're generating from the execution work.
And then when that's coupled up with our ability to use our midstream capability and our royalty position, it's really giving us, I would say leading financial performance overall. So if you went back and look at our Security Analyst Meeting slides, we showed you some of the competitor data.
We also showed you, how our actual type curves are performing relative to our expectations and they're very tightly coupled. So I think we have a good understanding, but we're seeing that continued improvement as we move forward.
Pierre Breber
Yes. The only thing I would add to Jay's comments, this is Pierre. You can cherry pick a lot of data out there to position how you look. We've been pretty consistent with what we've shown.
And also we've done a lot, not just general benchmarking, but comparisons to our non-op partners or the operators on our behalf, where we know we have very good apples-to-apples data. So it is an area of focus and we feel we compete very well.
Jason Gammel
That's great. And maybe just – yeah, just a quick follow-up. I noticed the average lateral length that's planned for 2020 is starting to approach 10,000 feet. In the past you've had fairly frequently slides about swapping another positioning to kind of block up your acreage.
And if you're moving towards 10,000 feet, I'm suspecting you're getting a long ways towards doing that, but can you just kind of talk about whether there's further opportunity there?
James Johnson
Well as we continue -- in the existing development areas we're getting higher and higher on our average lateral length and approaching that 10,000 foot mark. In the areas that we've transacted, we had about 60,000 acres that we transacted in 2017 and 95,000 acres in 2018. Those enabled -- about 1,900 longer laterals. So it's really helped us in our core-up development areas.
As we continue though to open up new development areas, we're going to continue to have this land activity as we optimize our land positions. So about half of our acreage overall, we consider to be a very highly productive areas and what we want to do is continue to use swap out or swaps and farm-out, sales, acquisitions to continue to core up our development areas.
We try and do that in a timely manner. We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves, but we do want to make sure that we're drilling efficiently as we start each area. As we said many times, our focus is on delivering returns not just chasing production or chasing a certain activity level.
Jason Gammel
Thanks guys.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes in the line of Doug Leggate from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Your question please.
Doug Leggate
Thanks, good morning everyone. I was wondering if Jay, I could take advantage, you been on the call just a little bit in terms of the assumptions you made in the Permian on the cash margins, things have obviously deteriorated at no fall of your, you do in terms of NGLs and gas. So if -- how do you see the prognosis there? What assumptions were you making when you were talking about CapEx versus cash flow?
And I guess kind of the last piece of that question is 900,000 barrels a day at a 3.3, 3.4 in 2023 suggests that your cash margin across the portfolio could move away from this sort of sector within level you've had in the past. I'm just curious if you can offer any thoughts on that. I've got a follow-up please.
Jay Johnson
Well, the cash -- the assumptions that we provided that are all given in our Security Analyst Meeting deck, so you can go back and reference those. And what we’re trying to do is, continue to make sure we have the flow assurance as I mentioned earlier on the call, to move gas out to other markets and not have it captured in the immediate basin. Crude oil, we're already well ahead of that. We move our crude outside the basin and we can access and optimize the markets that we're reaching.
In terms of the cash margin overall, again we've given you that information. We see that is very strong. There's always going to be fluctuations in the markets as there's tightness and length in different locations. But overall, we feel pretty strong about where we’re heading with this as a production base but also the other production we have around the world.
Doug Leggate
Okay. I understand, it's -- there's a lot of moving parts in that. My follow-up is kind of related and it's historically when oil prices got a lot weaker, you guys talked routinely about what your sustaining capital was in the portfolio. And obviously, that has been reset favorably by the very large LNG projects and those kind of dominate the base -- the base decline and like thereof.
As you move towards, again, this level of funding a significantly larger proportion of your production and a high decline underlying unconventional asset base, what does that do to the sustaining capital versus, I think, you used to talk about like a $13 billion number, how does that evolve as we move towards the five-year plan.
Pierre Breber
Doug, yeah. This is Pierre and I'll start and ask Jay to add some comments. We've never really talked about sustaining capital. We've given -- we have a $20 billion capital budget this year that we talked about $18 billion to $20 billion dollars guidance next year. And then $19 billion to $22 billion, 2021 to 2023.
So the guidance is pretty clear, it's pretty tight. That results in enterprise that's growing 3% to 4% of production growth through 2023 with leading cash margin. So the prior eight times, we've talked about the base decline, we are investing in the unconventional, as you saw, in the Permian that it's -- the production is more than doubling, while it's being free cash flow every year, starting next year, at returns that are going from 20% to 30%.
So we feel really good about our position. We're not focused on keeping a base flat capital. We're focused on increasing returns. It's resulting in an outcome of higher production. That's translating to higher earnings and cash flow. But the high decline that you referred to is, it's a nature of the business.
But when we're investing in it, you can see that, we're more than offsetting that decline and we're doing it in a very economic manner. And as we continue to fill out facilities and keep facilities filled over time, the reinvestment is a very attractive use of capital for the shareholders.
Jay Johnson
I might just build on what Pierre said, because he's absolute right. As we have a larger percentage of our overall production constrained by facilities, that means we have the ability to be very stable on our production. And the same in some respects actually applies in the Permian, while any individual well may have a relatively high decline rate, it does approach an asymptotic curve.
But the facilities we install for each of the development areas, our goal is to keep those full. And one of the advantages of the Permian is that, in the initial drilling we fill the facilities up, but then we can go back through infill drilling programs and by going after the subsequent benches in a given development area, and just continue to keep those facilities full, and the amount of rig activity it takes is much less for those subsequent drilling campaigns to maintain that production in a given development area. So I actually feel pretty good about where the whole portfolio has moved and really I'm not too worried about what some people see as a problem with these individual Permian wells.
Doug Leggate
It’s a great answer guys. Thanks for taking my questions.
Wayne Borduin
Thanks, Doug…
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Roger Read from Wells Fargo. Your question please.
Roger Read
Yeah. Thank you. Good morning.
Wayne Borduin
Morning Roger.
Roger Read
Let me just dive in here. Kind of following-up on some of the Permian questions, with your royalty position and others developments and with some of the problems we're seeing from some of those E&Ps, any risk to your outlook from those who might have overstepped their bounds in terms of the way they were developing the Permian?
Pierre Breber
Well, Roger this is Pierre. I mean, you're right. I mean we don't control the royalty barrels because that's being operated by others who own the working interests we're landowner and as Jay said, we receive those barrels with no capital, no operating costs. But the flipside is that if we don't control the development, so we're doing it based on an outlook and an expectation, it certainly we know what the actual had been. But you're right that there is some risk of that. It could go either way. It could go bigger or lower than what we're showing dependent on what those operator's activity levels are.
Roger Read
Okay, great. And then from a guidance standpoint on the downstream, the hiring refinery turnaround activity, and for the third quarter I was under the impression you'd had fairly high turnaround activity earlier in the first half of this year. So I was just curious was that the right interpretation, and maybe if there's any geographic specific exposure on the high TARs at this quarter.
Pierre Breber
Yeah Roger, so we have now adopted a practice of giving a pretty clear guidance on planned turnaround activity in the downstream and we characterize it as either a low, medium or high.
So you're right. Second quarter was high. And that's related to $200 million of after tax, earnings impacts both from higher cost and from lost profit opportunity if the volume is not produced. First quarter was actually low, which is up to $100 million of effects. So in the third quarter with another high quarter that's not unusual, it just depends on how the planned turnarounds are set up. We won't provide specifics on the locations. It's commercially sensitive. And so it's just something that we won't do ahead of time, we're happy to talk about it.
Looking backs on the second quarter, we had some planned turnaround activity in Pascagoula and in Asia. So we can explain afterwards, but we think we're giving pretty clear guidance. So you're right that you should view the earnings -- after tax earnings impact of planned turnarounds in 3Q to be the same or similar to 2Q.
Roger Read
Pierre, I'll leave it there. Thanks.
Wayne Borduin
Thanks Roger.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Paul Cheng from Howard Weil. Your question please.
Paul Cheng
Hi good morning. Jay, since you are here and I think you mentioned in your prepared remarks about the incident in Tengiz with your contractor at least in the media, it seems to me that there's never been more serious talking about -- a between the foreign contractor and the local people and may even be different agenda. Can you give us little bit more update on that and what -- does any initiative had been taken trying to resolve the problem there?
Jay Johnson
Yes, Paul, I can give you a little bit more. We -- this is really centered around one particular contractor that was at the 3GP site and there was obviously some disagreements between some of their workers and the management of that company. When the issue happened, we shut down the entire site -- the 3GP site, not the other site that didn't have any impact on production operation, but we wanted to make sure that the problem was mitigated and contained and we understood what was at the root of it.
We worked with that contractor. They're putting in place corrective actions to make sure that they deal with some of the concerns that were there. That is the only contractor that's had an extended ramp-up, so they're working back to their normal strength and we expect to see them that normal strength by the end of August.
So, at this point in time, we don't see it as having a material impact on the overall progress of the work. That contractor was about one month ahead of where we expected them to be on their workflow. So, unfortunately we've used up some of that float that have built up, but we believe we're going to be able to mitigate the impact to us.
The worker and the workforce relations are always important to us and this is one that we continue to stay focused on. It's very important as now our focus continues to shift to site and I assure you we'll stay focused with our workforce to make sure that we're trying to anticipate and deal with any other concerns.
Paul Cheng
And the second question Jay. I think in Angola Block 14, I think that the expiration is 2023. And in Nigeria the Agbami I think is 2024. When you guys will start the process for renegotiation on those?
Jay Johnson
Well, that's not something we normally are going to talk much about publicly, Paul. That's between us and our partners and the government. So, I can tell you that those discussions and the planning for that is well in hand, but I really won't be able to go into much detail on those at this time.
Paul Cheng
Okay. Understand. Thank you.
Wayne Borduin
Thanks Paul.
Operator
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Sam Margolin from Wolfe Research. Your question please.
Sam Margolin
Good morning. Hi.
Wayne Borduin
Hey Sam.
Sam Margolin
So, in the Permian one of the things that you talked about contributing to your rig count staying relatively flat is that you're building up a nice stack of vintage wells and you've got some legacy production that's supporting the performance of new wells. Just really quickly Jay can you shed some light on the performance of those older wells? It sounds like you're leading edge wells are meeting your expectations, but how are the vintage wells doing as far as how are they holding up and as they get a little long in the tooth?
Jay Johnson
Actually they're doing quite well. Our focus from day one has been to maximize the returns that we can get from our investments in the Permian. So, there has been a lot of questions why don't we increase our rig fleet, why don't we be more aggressive? But the reality is to continue to learn as everyone in the industry as we move forward and I think a lot of the moves we've made to stay focused on returns now are paying off.
Many people talk about how high their initial production rates are in the first six months rates, but what we're really looking at that can actually damage wells and cause aggregated decline curves. So, we're looking at the total expected recovery. We're looking at the economics of the well over its life. We're very careful in our drawdown rates in those early months to make sure that we don't cause damage in the wellbore or in the formation. When we put all that together, we're seeing our base production. That is the production that's already online continuing to perform such that, when we drill these new wells, we can add that on top.
And as you saw from the chart, I believe it was on probably page nine, we've been able to continue to deliver right on our production profile and we feel very good about how our wells are performing.
Sam Margolin
Thank you so much. And then - this one should be relatively quick and just in reference to the strategic partnership between CPChem and Qatar, Qatar's got a portfolio of other things that Chevron is probably a good candidate to participate in. Do you see that relationship deepening as you kind of advance on the chemical side throughout the Chevron organization? Or do you see that siloed into Chems?
James Johnson
No. No. Look, we have a good relationship with Qatar Petroleum for sure and so do CPChem. And when the Qataris look at CPChem they look at it as three companies, right; Chevron Phillips, Phillips 66 and ourselves. And so, we have a good relationship with them.
I will say that the trend – the deals stand on their own, I mean, the project in Qatar was bid out at U.S. Gulf Coast again there's other alternatives that are considered. So each transaction stands on its own. But we're very proud that we have this platform within and whether that leads to other opportunities or not I won’t speculate, but we certainly have a good base to work-off of.
Sam Margolin
Thanks so much.
Operator
Thank you. And our final question comes from the line of Pavel Molchanov from Raymond James. Your question please.
Pavel Molchanov
Thanks for taking the question. You alluded to the gas takeaway issues in the Permian and that you're trying to avoid flaring as much as possible. But of course your realized gas price was $0.60 in Q2. So I'm curious if it might get to a point where you have no practical choice, but to either flare gas or shut in wells. And if that happens which would you choose?
James Johnson
We don't flare. We are not flaring and we haven't flared. Our policy is that, we find flow assurance as I said is our first priority so that we can move the gas and we've been doing that. And we've got that flow assurance covered. So I don't see us being forced into the choices that you just presented.
I do -- as I said earlier, we're going to be increasing the amount of export capacity out of the basins to try and achieve better realizations and that's part of our overall strategy to maximize the returns that we can get from our investments in the Permian.
Pavel Molchanov
Okay. And then based on what I just asked, but taking on a much broader perspective. You're talking about reducing carbon emissions. Just about every other U.S. oil and gas producers talking about the same, when we listen to what's being said on stage at the debates, I'm sure you saw this week that point seems to be lost on the policy community.
And I'm curious what you think the industry has not communicated that is -- or what the dynamic is that has led to this disconnect between what you're saying and what the policymakers seem to be believing?
Pierre Breber
Well Sam that's a big last question on the call here. Look I mean, it depends which policymaker is right. We're in the midst of a energy revolution, renaissance here in the United States. For sure, wind and solar is a big part of that, but what's going on in the Permian Basin, what's happened in the Marcellus and Utica and growing natural gas production, growing crude oil production, exports to world markets and all the geopolitical implications and benefits of that, you can see our President talk a lot about that. At the same time, if we shared the concerns on climate change. We referred on the earnings call to a couple of investments that lower the carbon intensity of our operations. It was wind PPA in the Permian, so we -- our consumer electricity are using renewable electricity there, lower the carbon intensity of our operations and the renewable natural gas, which is in California, which takes Methane that otherwise would be vented to the atmosphere processes it, puts it in the grid. I guess we have off-take agreements with trucking company. It generates low carbon fuel standards under the California Regulatory Regime. It's modest capital. It earns an attractive return, so it's something that we believe is good for the environment and good for our shareholders. So we look to do more of that. We'll be very balanced, but – it's a big question, and we'll be part of the conversation.
Jay Johnson
Thanks Pavel.
Pavel Molchanov
All right. Appreciate it.
Wayne Borduin
Well, I'd like to thank everyone for your time today. We do appreciate your interest in Chevron and everyone's participation on today's call. Jonathan, back to you.

Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Tiwa Savage has taken to social media to gush over the love she has been receiving from her female fans.
According to the mother of one, if she were a male musical artiste, she would have impregnated at least five women by now due to the way they love and adore her.
She wrote on her Instastory, “The way girls love me, if I be male artist I will already have like 5 baby mamas.”
A while ago, Tiwa Savage revealed that wealth isn’t what she looks for in a man.
The mother of one made this revelation while performing at her show in Dallas.
According to her, she has her own money, so she isn’t particular about finding a wealthy man. Her type of man, she says, is the one who matches her energy and vibe.
She added that she can walk away from unpleasant situations because she has her own money and is not reliant on any man.
Her remark garnered ecstatic responses from the crowd of female fans, who appeared to back her decision wholeheartedly. | https://bioreports.net/if-i-were-a-male-artiste-i-will-already-have-5-baby-mamas-singer-tiwa-savage-says/ | 2022-07-04T21:05:40Z | https://bioreports.net/if-i-were-a-male-artiste-i-will-already-have-5-baby-mamas-singer-tiwa-savage-says/ | false | 1 |

The State Working Committee (SWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi has suspended its Chairman, Mr Tochukwu Okorie, over alleged gross misconduct.
The party’s Deputy State Chairman, Mr Emmanuel Nworie, told newsmen after the committee’s emergency meeting on Monday in Abakaliki that the suspension was for a period of one month.
Nworie said that the chairman was suspended over his failure to organise executive meetings for a period of four months since he was reinstated as chairman by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
He also told newsmen that the suspended chairman abandoned other party activities since his reinstatement.
According to Nworie, the suspended chairman allegedly joined an aspirant to file a suit against the party in the state, saying it is unlawful and unacceptable by the SWC members.
“At the emergency SWC meeting, we reviewed the activities of our chairman, Tochukwu Okorie and his misconduct.
“The chairman has failed to organise a meeting for more than four months which is against the party’s Constitution,’’ Nworie added.
The deputy chairman, the legal adviser, the publicity secretary, and the women leader, were among those at the emergency meeting.
On May 23, the Court of Appeal in Abuja ordered the reinstatement of Okorie as Ebonyi PDP’s Chairman and sacked Mr Silas Onu who was occupying the post.
Reacting to the development, Mr Okorie, described his alleged suspension as illegal, saying: “it is only the national leadership that can suspend me.
“I am a member of the National Executive Council of the party and no member of the state working committee has the power to suspend me.
“On the alleged gross misconduct, I am the chairman as directed by the court. I have the prerogative power to access the party’s account in carrying out party activities,’’ he said.

What to Know
- The Flower Fields in Carlsbad
- The multi-acre property is open to the public from March 1 through Mother's Day each year
- An aerial photo of a giant American flag, filled with colorful petunias, was shared on social media on Monday, July 4; the flag may be viewed from a distance through "the second week in July"
The Flower Fields of Carlsbad Ranch is famously associated with a warm holiday, one that is full of bright hues and flowery flair: Mother's Day.
The reason the ethereal attraction has become synonymous with the May occasion is two-fold: Plenty of families like to visit the rows (and rows and rows) of the ultra-saturated Giant Tecolote Ranuculus flowers with their moms and grandmothers as a way to celebrate the holiday, but also?
The second Sunday in May is the traditional final day of the popular destination's season.
But the verdant, hill-lovely location has more gifts to give later in the calendar, and while we can't visit The Flower Fields — the official reopening date is set for March 1, 2023 — we can admire what is now growing there from afar.
And in one large swath of the attraction? There's an "American Flag of Flowers," a dazzling display filled with thousands of red, white, and blue petunias.
This large-scale presentation measures 300 feet by 170 feet, and can be viewed from Palomar Airport Road, outside of the attraction.
Or you can view the display from home, or wherever you are, on the flowery landmark's social feeds.
The American Flag of Flowers should remain in bloom through the second week of July, the attraction shared.
It's a stirring sight, one created from blossoms, soil, sunlight, and the hard work of talented gardeners and designers.

Heartbreaking photo shows children colouring on shop floor as they hide from active shooter in Highland Park
‘You could see the terror on their faces. They knew what to do because of moments like now’
Children who were forced to shelter in place after a gunman opened fire at a 4th of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, filled in colouring books in the basement of a business in the Illinois city as law enforcement searched for the fugitive suspect.
In an image tweeted by CBS Chicago reporter Marissa Parra, the five young kids are closely watched over by two adults as they draw and play with playdough.
“They colour in their red white and blue while their parents wait to find out if there’s a gunman on the loose outside,” Ms Parra tweeted.
Six people were killed and at least two dozen were wounded when the gunman opened fire on the Highland Park Independence Day parade with a high-powered rifle from a rooftop.
At least one child suffered critical injures, officials said in a press briefing.

Law enforcement and city officials urged city residents to remain in their homes and businesses as they continued to search for the suspected shooter.
The shooting sparked panicked scenes as hundreds fled the parade route.
Mother Kristen Carlson told MSNBC she and her two eldest children had helped reunite young children with their families in the aftermath of the shooting.
“People just ran and they just left their stuff and people were running,” she told the cable news network from her mother’s home a few blocks from the shooting where she was sheltering in place.
“It was terrifying. You could see the terror on their faces.”
Many of the children who were caught up in the shooting were aged seven to 10 years old, Ms Carlson said.
“They were scared. They had terrified looks on their faces but they were so composed because they’ve been through active shooter drills and they knew what to do.
“They knew what to do because of moments like now.”
At least one child was taken to hospital in a critical condition.

Online Safety Bill amendment targets state-backed disinformation
The Government has tabled the amendment to the new internet safety laws.
Social media platforms will have to proactively look for and remove disinformation from foreign state actors which aims to harm the UK, under a proposed amendment to forthcoming online safety laws.
The Government is to table an amendment which will make “foreign interference” a designated priority offence under the Online Safety Bill, and comes in part in response to Russia’s activity around its invasion of Ukraine.
This will require that social media and other platforms will have a legal duty to proactively identify and remove state-sponsored or state-linked disinformation which looks to interfere with the UK.
This would include tackling material from fake accounts set up by individuals or groups acting on behalf of a foreign state which is designed to influence or disrupt democratic or legal processes, the Government said.
The amendment would also require platforms to tackle the spread of hacked information designed to undermine democratic institutions.
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said: “The invasion of Ukraine has yet again shown how readily Russia can and will weaponise social media to spread disinformation and lies about its barbaric actions, often targeting the very victims of its aggression.
“We cannot allow foreign states or their puppets to use the internet to conduct hostile online warfare unimpeded.
“That’s why we are strengthening our new internet safety protections to make sure social media firms identify and root out state-backed disinformation.”
The Government said the amendment will mean platforms will need to carry out risk assessments for content which would be illegal under the foreign interference offence, and put in place systems and processes to mitigate the chances of users encountering such content.
The amendment will link the National Security Bill with the Online Safety Bill, and a new foreign interference offence created by the former will be added to the list of priority offences within the Bill for new internet safety rules.
“Online information operations are now a core part of state threats activity,” Security Minister Damian Hinds said.
“The aim can be variously to spread untruths, confuse, undermine confidence in democracy, or sow division in society.
“Disinformation is often seeded by multiple fake personas, with the aim of getting real users, unwittingly, then to ‘share’ it.
“We need the big online platforms to do more to identify and disrupt this sort of co-ordinated inauthentic behaviour. That is what this proposed change in the law is about.”

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Amber Heard’s lawyers have asked a judge to throw out the $10.35 million verdict against her in the defamation case filed by ex-husband Johnny Depp, arguing that the verdict was not supported by the evidence and that one of the jurors may not have been properly vetted by the court.
In post-trial motions filed Friday, Heard’s attorneys call the jury’s June 1 award of $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages to Depp “excessive” and “indefensible.” They ask the judge to set aside the verdict and dismiss Depp’s lawsuit or order a new trial. Immediately after the verdict, the judge reduced the compensatory damages to $350,000 under a state cap.
Depp sued Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Depp’s lawyers alleged he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned him by name.
The six-week televised trial turned into a spectacle that offered a window into their dysfunctional marriage. Much of the testimony focused on Heard’s claims that she had been physically and sexually abused by Depp. Heard described more than a dozen alleged assaults, including a fight in Australia — where Depp was shooting a “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequel — in which Depp lost the tip of his middle finger and Heard said she was sexually assaulted with a liquor bottle.
Depp said he never hit Heard and that she was the abuser.
Depp had to prove that he never assaulted Heard, that her op-ed piece defamed him and that she wrote the article with actual malice.
In their post-trial motions, Heard’s legal team argued that to find that Heard had actual malice, Depp would have had to show that at the time Heard’s article was published, she did not believe she had been abused.
“Instead, the evidence overwhelmingly supported Ms. Heard believed she was the victim of abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp,” Heard’s lawyers say in their motion.
Heard’s lawyers also ask the judge to investigate “potential improper juror service,” alleging that one of the jurors who was chosen to serve on the jury was listed as being born in 1945 in documents given to the attorneys before the jury selection process, but is listed as being born in 1970 in publicly available information.
“This discrepancy raises the question whether Juror 15 actually received a summons for jury duty and was properly vetted by the Court to serve on the jury,” Heard’s lawyers said in their motion.
Depp’s attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in her counterclaim against Depp, finding that that Heard was defamed by one of Depp’s lawyers, who accused her of creating a detailed hoax that included roughing up the couple’s apartment to look worse for police.
In some ways, the trial was a replay of a lawsuit Depp filed in the United Kingdom against a British tabloid after he was described as a “wife beater.” The judge in that case ruled in the newspaper’s favor in 2020 after finding that Heard was telling the truth in her descriptions of abuse. | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/entertainment-news/heard-seeks-to-throw-out-verdict-in-depp-defamation-trial/ | 2022-07-04T21:39:23Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/entertainment-news/heard-seeks-to-throw-out-verdict-in-depp-defamation-trial/ | false | 49 |

First off, the National Parks Service posted this on their Twitter account reminding everyone of all the monuments and parks that they manage. This evening, the National Mall, managed by NPS, will be host to fireworks in Washington, DC.
National parks are home to many of the nation’s most beloved monuments, historic sites, & landscapes.

NEW YORK, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Unilever PLC (NYSE: UL) between September 2, 2020 and July 21, 2021, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 15, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Unilever securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Unilever class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7063 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 15, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition.Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that in July 2020, Ben & Jerry's board passed a resolution to end sales of its ice cream in "Occupied Palestinian Territory" as well as the risks attendant to the board's decision. Additionally, Unilever's s description of its legal risks was materially false and misleading because Unilever acknowledged that complying with all applicable laws and regulations was important but omitted discussing Ben & Jerry's boycott decision, which risked adverse governmental actions for violations of laws, executive orders, or resolutions aimed at discouraging boycotts, divestment, and sanctions of Israel adopted by 35 U.S. states ("Anti-BDS Legislation").
On July 19, 2021, Unilever and its hand-picked Ben & Jerry's CEO, finally "operationalized" the Ben & Jerry's board's resolution to boycott. Ben & Jerry's announced on its website and through its Twitter account that, upon the expiration of the current licensing agreement by which its products had been distributed in Israel for decades, Ben & Jerry's would end sales of its ice cream in "Occupied Palestinian Territory" but Ben & Jerry's would purportedly continue to sell its products in Israel.
Ultimately, the states of New York, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, and Arizona announced decisions to divest their pension fund investments in Unilever due to violations of their Anti-BDS Legislation.
When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Unilever class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7063 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Jorge Mateo was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 7-6 victory against the visiting Texas Rangers on Monday afternoon.
The Orioles posted their final run without the ball leaving the infield, with an infield single and intentional walk coming before Matt Moore’s wayward pitch ended the game as ghost runner Austin Hays scored.
Mateo, who was hit in the back of the left knee, was helped to first base by teammates in order to complete the victory.
Marcus Semien led off the ninth inning with a home run to put Texas ahead 6-5. Adley Rutschman’s two-out double for the Orioles in the bottom of the inning knotted the score, knocking in pinch runner Ryan McKenna and forcing the extra frame.
Semien’s 10th home run of the season marked his third hit of the game. The blast came off Jorge Perez, who was the fifth of six Baltimore pitchers used in the opener of the three-game series.
Mitch Garver’s three-run home run capped a five-run fifth inning for the Rangers.
Cedric Mullins homered and doubled in a run for the Orioles, who returned home following a 5-5 road trip. Rougned Odor had three hits for Baltimore, which has won two straight following a four-game skid.
Joe Barlow pitched the ninth and failed to secure a save for the Rangers. Moore (3-1) took the loss after not retiring a batter.
Baltimore’s Bryan Baker (3-3) pitched the 10th for the victory. Lopez appeared in his third game in four days and has allowed at least a run in each of those.
Orioles starter Dean Kremer made it through four innings unscathed. But he was touched for five runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings as Baltimore’s 2-0 lead vanished.
The fifth-inning scoring began for Texas with Adolis Garcia’s sacrifice fly and Nate Lowe’s run-scoring single.
The 5-2 lead didn’t last long. Mullins homered in the fifth and the Orioles pulled even in the sixth when first baseman Lowe’s error with one out allowed two runs to score.
Texas starter Dane Dunning allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk.
Baltimore began the scoring in the second inning on Jonathan Arauz’s run-scoring single. The Orioles pushed the edge to 2-0 when Mullins had an RBI double in the third inning.

Officials said a rifle was recovered from the scene. A hospital spokesperson reported 31 people were injured, higher than the initial count of 24 from officials.
Police said they were searching for a white male about 18 to 20 years old and asked the public for tips and cellphone images and surveillance video to help find him. They did not have a motive for the shooting.
"We are aggressively looking for the individual who's responsible," sheriff's department spokesperson Christopher Covelli told journalists. "He could be in the city. He could be somewhere else."
The investigation has made "significant progress," he said without elaborating, except to say that the shooting took place from the rooftop of a business that the gunman reached via an alley ladder attached to the building that was not secure.
The shooting comes with gun violence fresh on the minds of many Americans, after a massacre on May 24 killed 19 school children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and the May 14 attack that killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
President Joe Biden said he and his wife Jill were "shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day."
Biden said he had "surged federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter."
In his statement, Biden referred to bipartisan gun-reform legislation he signed recently but said much more needed to be done and added: "I'm not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence."
Staff at NorthShore Highland Park Hospital in Highland Park were treating 26 people and five were transported to NorthShore Evanston Hospital. "The vast majority suffered gunshot wounds," spokesperson Jim Anthony said.
'MY GOD, WHAT HAPPENED?'
Children waving American flags, riding tricycles or enjoying a ride in a wagon pulled by adults froze as people in the crowd screamed while gun shots rang out, video on social media showed.
One cellphone video, seen but not verified by Reuters, recorded what sounded to be about 30 rapid shots, a pause, and then another roughly 30 shots. Between the two bursts, a woman can be heard saying from the side of the parade route: "My God, what happened?"
Amarani Garcia, who was at the parade with her young daughter, told the local ABC affiliate she heard gunfire, then a pause for what she suspected was reloading, and then more shots again.
There were "people screaming and running. It was just really traumatizing," Garcia said. "I was very terrified. I hid with my daughter actually in a little store. It just makes me feel like we're not safe anymore."
Social media video showed a marching band suddenly breaking formation and running away, and other images of people leaving their belongings behind as they sought safety.
"Everyone was running, hiding and screaming," said CBS 2 Digital Producer Elyssa Kaufman, who was at the scene.
A 36-year-old native of Highland Park who wanted to be identified only as Sara, told Reuters she had attended the annual parade most years since her childhood.
"Not even five minutes after, very shortly after, the police and firetrucks part of the parade had gone by I heard 'pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,'" she said, adding that she first thought they were muskets some times used in parades.
"I looked and there were no muskets. The popping didn't stop ... again it went 'pop, pop, pop, pop, pop' and I turned and I said 'those are gun shots, run!'"
Highland Park's population is 30,000 and nearly 90% white, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. About a third of the population is Jewish, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
At least one of those killed was a Mexican national, a senior Mexican Foreign Ministry official said on Twitter.
The shooting is likely to rekindle the American debate about gun control, and whether stricter measure can prevent mass shootings that happen so frequently in the United States.
After the Uvalde and Buffalo shootings, Congress last month passed its first major federal gun reform in three decades, providing federal funding to states that administer "red flag" laws intended to remove guns from people deemed dangerous.
It does not ban sales of assault-style rifles or high-capacity magazines, but does take some steps on background checks by allowing access to information on significant crimes committed by juveniles.

Social media platforms will have to proactively look for and remove disinformation from foreign state actors which aims to harm the UK, under a proposed amendment to forthcoming online safety laws.
The Government is to table an amendment which will make “foreign interference” a designated priority offence under the Online Safety Bill, and comes in part in response to Russia’s activity around its invasion of Ukraine.
This will require that social media and other platforms will have a legal duty to proactively identify and remove state-sponsored or state-linked disinformation which looks to interfere with the UK.
This would include tackling material from fake accounts set up by individuals or groups acting on behalf of a foreign state which is designed to influence or disrupt democratic or legal processes, the Government said.
The amendment would also require platforms to tackle the spread of hacked information designed to undermine democratic institutions.
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said: “The invasion of Ukraine has yet again shown how readily Russia can and will weaponise social media to spread disinformation and lies about its barbaric actions, often targeting the very victims of its aggression.
“We cannot allow foreign states or their puppets to use the internet to conduct hostile online warfare unimpeded.
“That’s why we are strengthening our new internet safety protections to make sure social media firms identify and root out state-backed disinformation.”
The Government said the amendment will mean platforms will need to carry out risk assessments for content which would be illegal under the foreign interference offence, and put in place systems and processes to mitigate the chances of users encountering such content.
The amendment will link the National Security Bill with the Online Safety Bill, and a new foreign interference offence created by the former will be added to the list of priority offences within the Bill for new internet safety rules.
“Online information operations are now a core part of state threats activity,” Security Minister Damian Hinds said.
“The aim can be variously to spread untruths, confuse, undermine confidence in democracy, or sow division in society.
“Disinformation is often seeded by multiple fake personas, with the aim of getting real users, unwittingly, then to ‘share’ it.
“We need the big online platforms to do more to identify and disrupt this sort of co-ordinated inauthentic behaviour. That is what this proposed change in the law is about.”

A manhunt is underway for the suspect in connection with a July 4 parade shooting in Illinois which left six people dead and dozens injured. Police said the gunman opened fire from the rooftop of a high-rise building just as the parade kicked off on Monday morning. The shooting took place in downtown Highland Park, north of Chicago.
“On a day that we came together to celebrate community and freedom we are instead mourning a tragic loss of life and struggling with the terror that was brought upon us,” voiced Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering.

The suspect is described as an 18 to 20-year-old white male with black hair. He remains at large. Authorities said the shooting appeared to be random and not targeted. Witnesses said they heard multiple shots being fired and attendees quickly fled the scene. Chairs, strollers and other belongings were left behind.
“People started saying ‘There’s a shooter, there’s a shooter, there’s a shooter,’” resident Debbie Glickman said. “So we just ran. We just ran. It’s like mass chaos down there.”

All independence day celebrations have been canceled in the city and surrounding areas. The attack is just the latest in a wave of public shootings to hit the US in recent weeks, including a mass shooting in a school in Texas and a racially motivated massacre in Buffalo, New York.
“We’re asking everybody to stay indoors,” said Lake County Sgt. Christopher Covelli. “Stay vigilant right now. This person has not been identified. All indications is he was discreet and he was very difficult to see. Investigators are quickly working to try to identify who this person is and try to figure out where he’s at.”
The FBI is assisting local law enforcement in the search for the shooter. Authorities are asking anyone with any video surveillance to contact the Highland Police Department. | https://www.oann.com/6-dead-dozens-injured-in-july-4th-parade/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=6-dead-dozens-injured-in-july-4th-parade | 2022-07-04T22:23:53Z | https://www.oann.com/6-dead-dozens-injured-in-july-4th-parade/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=6-dead-dozens-injured-in-july-4th-parade | true | 1 |

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — A person using a flamethrower set fire to a Pan-African flag flying on a pole outside the headquarters of the Uhuru Movement, a Black international socialist group based in Florida.
The incident occurred on Saturday, July 2.
Security video released by the group shows the driver of a white Honda sedan pulling up outside the group’s St. Petersburg headquarters, removing a flamethrower from the trunk and shooting a tower of fire at the flag flying about 30 feet (9 meters) above the ground.
The group said the man stopped when a worker inside the building yelled at him. The video shows him putting the flamethrower back in the trunk and then driving away. A photo supplied by the group shows the flag with a large hole.
St. Petersburg police said they are investigating the fire and are working to identify a suspect.
The Uhuru Movement is part of the African People’s Socialist Party, which says it is “uniting African people as one people for liberation, social justice, self-reliance and economic development.”
Akile Anai, the group’s director of agitation and propaganda, said the attack is in the same vein as the May killing of 10 Black people at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket. Police said the arrested suspect in the Buffalo massacre is a white nationalist.
Anai said such attacks are caused by the decline of a “social system and facade of normalcy based on oppression, colonialism and exploitation.” | https://abc-7.com/news/2022/07/04/flamethrower-used-to-burn-pan-african-flag-flying-on-pole/ | 2022-07-04T22:26:13Z | https://abc-7.com/news/2022/07/04/flamethrower-used-to-burn-pan-african-flag-flying-on-pole/ | false | 16 |

Appointed by former govt, state paediatric Covid-19 taskforce resigns
Mumbai: Four days after the new government in Maharashtra came into force, the state paediatric Covid-19 taskforce members resigned on ethical grounds. The team of ten members was headed by senior paediatrician Dr Suhas Prabhu and was formed in May 2021, to prepare for a possible rise in paediatric cases in the anticipated third wave of Covid-19.
Dr Prabhu, chairman of the taskforce, said it was an advisory and not a statutory body. “Ethically, we thought it was the right thing to resign. The previous government thought it (paediatric taskforce) was required. We don’t know about the new government and we can’t presume,” he said.
The resignation was sent to Saurabh Vijay, secretary, medical education, said Dr Prabhu.
He further said they will wait for directives from the new government. “If they ask us to continue, we will. For now, we haven’t heard from them yet,” said Dr Prabhu.
Since the surge in cases in June, the paediatric taskforce members have been meeting every Tuesday.
“Cases are subsiding. So far, cases in children have been milder but poor vaccination numbers have been a concern. This is what we discussed in our last Tuesday meeting,” said a member of the paediatric Covid-19 taskforce.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is currently struggling to convince parents to vaccinate their children. It had earlier kept June 30 as the deadline to jab eligible children in municipal schools via vaccination camps. However, according to the civic body, 57.56% have taken their first dose in the 12-15 age group and 58% in the 15-18 age group. The data also said 31.60% have taken a second dose in 12-15 and 48% in 15-18. BMC has also asked private schools to provide details on the same.
Since its constitution, the taskforce members had formulated guidelines, recommendations and training modules to treat Covid-19 in paediatric population and identify post Covid-19 complications like multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a condition where lungs, kidneys and the heart can become inflamed and may turn into a life-threatening condition. They also played a key role in drafting guidelines for the safe reopening of schools after it was shut for nearly two years owing to the outbreak of the pandemic.
“The 9pm-11pm weekly meeting used to be attended by the health officials. We used to review the Covid-19 situation and give our recommendations,” said another paediatric Covid taskforce member.
The member said the emphasis in last Tuesday’s meeting was to undertake vaccinations at the school level. “We have been discussing poor vaccination numbers in the state and Mumbai. Similar to the measles-rubella vaccine campaign, we recommended Covid-19 vaccination campaigns in schools. Only then will it be a success,” he said.
Meanwhile, the adult state taskforce has decided to wait and watch. “We will wait for directions from the government,” said Dr Vasant Nagvekar, infectious disease expert and state Covid-19 task force member.
The adult state Covid-19 taskforce continued with their weekly Monday meeting on July 4.
The directorate of medical education and research (DMER), and the secretary of medical education said they were unaware of the resignation email.
However, Dr TP Lahane, former DMER director, who represents the government in the paediatric Covid-19 taskforce meeting, said it is not a resignation but seeking opinion. “They have written to the government asking what needs to be done now, the future course of action,” he said.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. Navy’s Mideast-based 5th Fleet is starting to offer rewards for information that could help sailors intercept weapons, drugs and other illicit shipments across the region amid tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and Tehran’s arming of Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
While avoiding directly mentioning Iran, the 5th Fleet’s decision to offer cash and other goods for actionable intelligence in the Persian Gulf and other strategic waterways may increase pressure on the flow of weapons to the Houthis as a shaky cease-fire still holds in Yemen.
Already, the Houthis have threatened a new allied task force organized by the 5th Fleet in the Red Sea, though there’s been no attack by the Iranian-backed forces on the Navy in the time since.
Meanwhile, the 5th Fleet says it and its partners seized $500 million in drugs alone in 2021 — more than the four prior years combined. The 5th Fleet also intercepted 9,000 weapons in the same period, three times the number seized in 2020.
“Any destabilizing activity has our attention,” Cmdr. Timothy Hawkins, a 5th Fleet spokesman, told The Associated Press. “Definitely we have seen in the last year skyrocketing success in seizing both illegal narcotics and illicit weapons. This represents another step in our effort to enhance regional maritime security.”
The 5th Fleet’s new initiative launches on Tuesday through the Department of Defense Rewards Program, which saw troops offer cash and goods for tips on the battlefields in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere after al-Qaida launched the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Since ground fighting has largely halted across the region, the 5th Fleet decided to try to use the program as it patrols the waterways of the Middle East.
Hawkins said operators fluent in Arabic, English and Farsi would man a hotline, while the Navy also would take tips additionally online, in Dari and Pashto. Payouts can be as high as $100,000 or the equivalent in vehicles, boats or food for tips that also include information on planned attacks targeting Americans, Hawkins said.
It’s unclear if the 5th Fleet’s uptick in seizures represents a return to shipping after the coronavirus pandemic or an increase overall in the number of illicit shipments in the region. Traffickers typically use stateless dhows, traditional wooden sailing craft common in the Mideast, to transport drugs and weapons.
One destination for weapons appears to be Yemen. The Houthis seized Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, in September 2014 and forced the internationally recognized government into exile. A Saudi-led coalition armed with U.S. weaponry and intelligence entered the war on the side of Yemen’s exiled government in March 2015. Years of inconclusive fighting has pushed the Arab world’s poorest nation to the brink of famine. A truce that began around the holy Muslim month of Ramadan appears for now to still be holding.
Despite a United Nations Security Council arms embargo on Yemen, Iran long has been transferring rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, missiles and other weaponry to the Houthis. Though Iran denies arming the Houthis, independent experts, Western nations and U.N. experts have traced components back to Iran.
Asked about whether new seizures could increase tensions with Iran, Hawkins listed the weapons and drugs the Navy hoped to intercept under the program.
“That’s what we’re after,” the commander said. “That’s not in the interest of regional stability and security.”
Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not respond to a request for comment. The U.S. Navy and Iran continue to have tense encounters in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of all oil traded passes.
The rewards program marks the latest initiative under 5th Fleet Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, who also launched a drone task force last year amid tensions with Iran.
Cooper’s other effort, the Red Sea task force, has drawn criticism from the Houthis in the past. The rebel group, which has repeatedly denied being armed by Iran, did not respond to a request for comment on the new Navy program.
However, Ali al-Qahom, a Houthi official, tweeted last week that the rebels are monitoring increased U.S. activity in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf waters.
“Because of this, defense and confrontation options are open,” he said. “They and their diabolical projects have no place” in the region.

Pac-12 fans, Big Ten fans, and national college football fans are all discussing one thing: media rights value for various schools across the country.
Everyone wants to know how much a school’s football brand and its overall sports portfolio would add to a given conference’s collection of television deals, since that is an obvious and central piece of realignment.
If you are sitting at home discussing or thinking about these dollar figures for various schools, consider this question: How much are Oregon and Stanford worth to TV networks?
Take a few moments to think about it.
Before you answer, think less about the actual numbers and more about how the two schools compare. Which one should be worth more than the other, and by how much?
Take a few more moments.
Okay. Here we go.
One former Fox Sports executive offered his estimates to John Canzano at the reporter’s Substack:
The ex-Fox Sports Network president, Bob Thompson, placed Oregon’s media-rights value at $30 million and Stanford’s at $45 million when I pressed him. That may be all that would normally matter to the Big Ten. However, I think Oregon’s national brand and Phil Knight’s clout give the Ducks the edge. If the Big Ten takes Oregon, I would expect there to be some sort of subsidy or waiting period (See: Maryland) before the Ducks are allowed to take a full conference media share.
Stanford is worth $15 million more than Oregon? I bet no one guessed that.
Such a detail shows, for one thing, that assumptions of Oregon to the Big Ten (assumptions I personally made) might not affect Fox’s calculus as much as previously thought.
Such a detail also shows how fluid this situation truly is. | https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/04/stunning-detail-about-pac-12-dollar-values-emerges-in-realignment-discussions/ | 2022-07-04T22:51:04Z | https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/04/stunning-detail-about-pac-12-dollar-values-emerges-in-realignment-discussions/ | true | 1 |

It looks like the new GTA Online DLC may be releasing soon, and if some rumors floating around are true, it could be the game's next substantial update. If you haven't been paying attention to the GTA rumor mill, it's almost been solely producing rumors about the next Grand Theft Auto game, GTA 6. Recently, these rumors include word of two returning characters and word of a release window. There have also been some rumors about GTA Online though, primarily that Rockstar Games is getting ready to reveal and release a substantial bit of new DLC starring Michael De Santa, one of the three protagonists of GTA 5. If this concept sounds familiar, it's because Rockstar Games recently did this with Franklin Clinton, another one of the three protagonists in GTA 5. This DLC was called The Contract, and it also starred Dr. Dre. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652795677331/ea-is-giving-you-a-chance-to-play-the-new-skate-early | 2022-07-04T23:04:51Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652795677331/ea-is-giving-you-a-chance-to-play-the-new-skate-early | false | null |

CLEVELAND — Ohio’s new fireworks law was quickly met with confusion as many communities enacted their own ordinances which opted out allowing personal use of fireworks. On top of that, nuances in the new law give a better picture of what’s allowed, and what’s not, when it comes to communities that do allow fireworks.
RELATED: Your 2022 guide for 4th of July Fireworks in Northeast Ohio
Back in November, Governor Mike Dewine signed into law a bill that allows fireworks to be set off by residents around certain holidays including the Fourth of July, New Year’s Eve and Day, Diwali, Cinco De Mayo, Lunar New Year, Juneteenth, and Memorial and Labor Day weekends.
When it comes to the 4th of July, the law dictates that people are allowed to set off fireworks on July 3, 4 and 5 plus the Friday, Saturday and Sundays before and after the Fourth of July.
Additionally, no one under 18 years old can handle fireworks.
The law also addresses safety concerns at buildings where fireworks are displayed and sold and concerns the governor had about Ohio residents handling fireworks while under the influence.
"The compromise bill also reduces, by half, the allowable increase in showroom size originally offered in Senate Bill 113, while requiring enhanced fire sprinkler systems," DeWine said when signing the bill. "The measure further prohibits the discharge of fireworks while in possession of, or under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances or on another person’s property without that person’s permission."
Click here to see more details about HB172 and to view the full text of the new law.
Before this new law, those caught setting off fireworks could face a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail. The previous law allowed consumers to purchase and possess consumer-grade fireworks but requires consumers to transport them out of state within 48 hours.
However, since the bill was signed into law, dozens of communities have worked to tighten their own local ordinances surrounding fireworks.

The number of firework-related injuries has steadily risen over the last 15 years. At least nine people died and 11,500 were injured in fireworks-related accidents last year, according to the. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Daughter of Blue Jays 1B coach died in Va. tubing accident
The 17-year-old daughter of Toronto Blue Jays first base coach Mark Budzinski died in a boating accident in Virginia over the weekend, authorities said Monday.
Julia Budzinski was one of two girls who fell off a tube being pulled behind a boat on the James River in Richmond on Saturday, Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources spokesperson Paige Pearson said.
As the boat operator returned to get the girls out of the water, the boat hit a wave, causing it to be pushed on top of Budzinski and striking her with the propeller, Pearson said. The boat driver and the operator of another passing boat jumped into the water to try to rescue Budzinski, who was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Pearson said no foul play is suspected and alcohol was not a factor. “It was a terrible accident,” she said.
As news of the accident spread, a vigil was held Sunday night at Glen Allen High School, where Budzinski was a rising senior and played soccer and other sports.
“It was a very happy, fun last day on Earth for her,” her mother, Monica Budzinski, said at the vigil. “She was happy, laughing, having a good time and that’s the way I’m going to remember her.”
Mark Budzinski left the Blue Jays in the third inning of the second game of the team’s doubleheader against the Rays on Saturday after learning of his daughter’s death.
The Blue Jays later issued a statement saying he would take some time away from the team to grieve with his family.
There was a moment of silence for Julia Budzinski before Sunday’s series finale.
“My heart breaks for Bud,” Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo said after the game. “There’s good men and great men. He’s a great man. He’s a special kind of person. His family is great. The only thing I can share about what happened is that he left a note for the team. He did this while going through a tragedy, and that tells you everything about him.”
Mark Budzinski, a University of Richmond graduate, played four games for the Cincinnati Reds in 2003 and retired in 2005. After managing in Cleveland’s minor league system, he joined the then-Indians’ big league staff in 2017. Toronto hired Budzinski in November 2018.

B.C. health minister says province preparing for potential COVID-19 surge
B.C. health minister says province preparing for potential COVID-19 surge
Preparations are underway to help British Columbia fight any potential surges in COVID-19 this fall.
Health Minister Adrian Dix says the COVID-19 pandemic has not ended and he's urging people to continue to stay safe and ensure they have been vaccinated.
Dix says the number of people in hospital in B.C. with COVID-19 continues to decline but that isn't the case in other jurisdictions.
The minister made the comments at a news conference announcing the government is seeking proposals to build a new hospital and cancer centre in Surrey.
Dix says there are currently no immediate plans to return to a provincewide mask mandate.
He says it's unclear what the COVID infection rate will look like this fall, but they're preparing for a possible spike in respiratory illnesses.
“So, no option is ever excluded. Right now we see overall the level of hospitalizations coming down for COVID-19, but we also see other places in the world with real challenges.”
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 4, 2022.

Eir to hit thousands of customers with raft of new price increases
Thousands of domestic Eir customers and small businesses are to be hit with fresh price rises.
The higher charges will apply to 500,000 customers from August and come after the telecoms firm put up its prices for some of its consumers just last September.
Now it is increasing its landline, television, broadband and mobile charges by €5 a month for residential customers.
This rise, which includes VAT, will mean customers will pay an extra €60 a year, adding more to the cost of living.
Small businesses have been told their landline charges will rise by €5 a month excluding VAT.
From April next year, customers are being told, prices will automatically rise by the official inflation rate plus 3pc. Some have claimed this move is anti-competitive.
Eir is the principal provider of fixed-line and mobile telecoms services in Ireland with around two million customers.
As households grapple with a savage cost-of-living crisis, the provider is also introducing a range of new charges.
From next January there will be a monthly charge of €4.87, excluding VAT, for a paper bill. The VAT rate on telecoms bills is 23pc.
There will also be a charge of €4.87 for paying via a call centre agent, and a late or missed payment fee of €15. Both are before VAT is applied.
From next April, Eir said it will increase the monthly cost of landline and broadband plans by the rate of inflation in January each year plus 3pc.
These price increases will apply on the full monthly price plan before discounts.
The consumer price index inflation measure is currently 7pc, which would mean price rise of 10pc if prices keep rising at that rate.
This is a similar move to Vodafone and Three Mobile, which have said they plan ongoing rises.

Vodafone Ireland has introduced a minimal annual price increase of at least 3pc for new mobile bill pay customers and bill pay clients who upgrade or renew their contract.
Three Ireland is increasing the monthly charge on its bill pay price plans annually by 4.5pc.
Questions have been raised about whether or not automatic inflation-plus price rises are anti-competitive as they could be seen as a form of price signalling.
Eir justified the price rises because of continued investment in its network and rising costs.
It said it is the largest telecommunications investor in the country, investing €1bn into the upgrade of the country’s communication technology.
“Current customers will see a €5 increase implemented to their bills per month from August,” it said.
Just last September Eir increased voice and broadband prices by €6 a month. This added €72 a year to the average bill.

Police have released an image of Robert E Crimo III, the suspected shooter behind the July 4 massacre in Chicago, that has left six people dead.
A massive manhunt has been launched for the 22-year-old suspect who opened fire from a roof top at the parade in the wealthy suburb of Highland Park just after 10am on Monday morning.
Officials said a rifle was recovered from the scene where at least 25 people were shot ranging in age from eight to 85, doctors said.
Children waving American flags, riding tricycles or enjoying a ride in a wagon pulled by adults froze as people in the crowd screamed while gun shots rang out, video on social media showed.
One video recorded what sounded to be about 30 rapid shots, a pause, and then another roughly 30 shots. Between the two bursts, a woman can be heard saying from the side of the parade route: "My God, what happened?"
Amarani Garcia, who was at the parade with her young daughter, told the local ABC affiliate she heard gunfire, then a pause for what she suspected was reloading, and then more shots again.
There were "people screaming and running. It was just really traumatizing," Garcia said. "I was very terrified. I hid with my daughter actually in a little store. It just makes me feel like we're not safe anymore."
Social media video showed a marching band suddenly breaking formation and running away, and other images of people leaving their belongings behind as they sought safety.
"Everyone was running, hiding and screaming," said CBS 2 Digital Producer Elyssa Kaufman, who was at the scene.

The original Apple TV+ series “Prey” is a parody of excessive wealth and a vivid show about women losing their independence and regaining it in the face of adversity. Although Molly is a billionaire who doesn’t want anything in adulthood, it seems she still treats people with respect.
With that said, she has also acquired some extravagances that others may find excessive. Although they may be common among one percent, they seem too large and unnecessary for the rest of society. But for Molly, it’s just a luxury she’s used to.
Her candy room
This is the type of room that every woman (and child!) dreams of: a whole room filled with sweets to pamper themselves when the need arises. Molly’s is decorated in a beautiful color, and the candies are neatly stacked in matching glass plates for easy access.
This is a great room to enter when someone wants to drown their sorrows in sugar and chocolate. Indeed, this is exactly what Molly did shortly before the call from Sofia, which is likely to change the trajectory of her life.
David Chang as her personal chef
In one of the scenes, the famous chef David Chang prepares an exquisite multi-course lunch for Molly. She tastes the first dish and praises it for how wonderful it is. But then she tells him that she really wants a bean and cheese burrito, to which he reluctantly says that he will go to the microwave for her.
Having a personal chef is one thing, but having a celebrity chef with his own restaurants, along with TV shows like Ugly Delicious, one of the best documentaries about agriculture and the food industry, cooking daily meals seems like something more than even Molly. need it. Considering that from time to time she seems quite content with simple microwave dishes, this also seems completely unnecessary.
“Small” pool for dogs
It’s funny, when Nicholas introduces Molly to her new yacht, he points to the “small” pool, as if he’s almost embarrassed that such a “tiny” pool is part of the setup. She seems excited and quickly decides that it would be great for dogs.
The pool, of course, is a full-size indoor pool with a mirror on the ceiling to show its reflection, the magnificent blue water and the beautiful scene around it. Most people would love a pool like this, but for Molly, it’s only good enough to serve as a playground for her puppies.
Yacht
The yacht itself is a great luxury, although in Molly’s defense I will say that her husband gave it to her. He probably bought it for her to keep her busy and not know what he was doing behind her back.
The yacht seems massive even for a large family. For Molly, John and their two dogs, that would be overkill. Now, just for Molly and her dogs, it’s more space than she could ever dream of using alone.
Gold-rimmed glasses
In one of the scenes, when Molly decides to get ready and clean up the house, she takes some gold-rimmed glasses. Although gold-rimmed glasses are not uncommon in trendy bars, there is a possibility that her glasses are made of real expensive gold. It looks like something fans might see as a hidden detail in Roy’s residence on Legacy.
The possession of such glassware is a clear sign of wealth and luxury, because it screams about excess. Most likely, what Molly enjoyed from the glasses was expensive whiskey, wine or some other fancy drink.
Golden Stapler
When Molly cleans and sets up her office at the charity, in particular, changing the name on the door from Molly Novak to Molly Wells, she arranges her work supplies. Among them are a golden set of pens and a golden stapler.
Having an expensive, even personalized pen like Mont Blanc is a sign of class and status. But it is rare to see a golden stapler. Like the frames on the glasses, most likely the stapler itself was made of pure pure gold and probably cost more than the entire building in which it was located. It is such funny moments that make Loot a candidate for a role in one of the most exciting films and TV series. new Apple TV+ in 2022.
Staff who brush their dogs’ teeth
While Molly prepares to go to the office in the morning, she brushes her teeth over her massive sink. The camera pans to another set of sinks in another corner of the bathroom, and she also sees two employees furiously brushing the dogs’ teeth.
It would make sense if someone with Molly’s billions hired someone to take care of her pets while she was away. But the scene in which they brush their teeth daily like her seemed excessive.
Personal hairdressers in her house
Not only did Molly have staff assigned to brush her dog’s teeth, she also had personal hairdressers at her beck and call, complete with a barber chair in her house. | https://www.somagnews.com/apple-tv-loot-mollys-10-most-ridiculous-antics/ | 2022-07-04T23:22:42Z | https://www.somagnews.com/apple-tv-loot-mollys-10-most-ridiculous-antics/ | false | 1 |
ICYMI: Patricia Heaton Destroyed Disney for Refusing to Cast Tim Allen, 'Castrating' Buzz Lightyear
A June comment from Patricia Heaton has proven to be an accurate summary of the mood of movie-goers who have been less than enthused with the new Pixar film “Lightyear.”
Disney made a big deal about reinserting a scene featuring a same-sex kiss in the film, which made headlines as 14 foreign nations banned it. And now, those who have other options for entertainment are taking advantage of them.
According to Forbes, the movie earned $6.57 million over the first part of the Fourth of July holiday weekend for what it called a “miserable $105.4 million 17-day total.”
“That’s less than Minions 2’s $108.5 million Fri-Sun opening weekend. The $200 million flick has earned $191 million worldwide for a likely under-$240 million global finish,” Forbes reported.
Heaton said the film made a mistake in not using Tim Allen to be the voice of Buzz Lightyear.
Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal @ofctimallen Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns. Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?

“Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal @ofctimallen Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns. Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?” she tweeted.
In an interview posted on Decider, Allen offered his comment on the movie, noting that “The short answer is I’ve stayed out of this ’cause it has nothing to do [with my Buzz].”
“We talked about this many years ago, it came up in one of the sessions, I said, what a fun movie that would be. … the brass that did the first four movies is not this,” Allen said. “
“This is a whole new team that really have nothing to do with the first movies. I thought it was a live action, when they said they were doing a live action … you know, real humans, not an animated thing,” he said.
Allen noted that the new movie broke with tradition by not having Tom Hanks serve as the voice of Woody.
“And as Hanks and I — there’s really no Toy Story Buzz without Woody,” Allen said.
He called the new movie a “wonderful story.”
However, he said, “[i]t just doesn’t seem to have any connection to the toy, and it’s a little…I don’t know. It just has no relationship to Buzz. It’s just no connection. I wish there was a better connection to it.”
Allen’s absence was noted, one commentator wrote.
“[O]ne thing that fans of the franchise seemed to be missing was actor Tim Allen, who is deeply associated with the character of Buzz Lightyear,” Ryan Scott wrote on Slashfilm, adding that “absence of the voice that anchored four ‘Toy Story’ films was felt.”
As noted by the Hollywood Reporter, the film had a lower-than-expected turnout from families.
“[‘Lightyear’] is running into the limitations of the spin-off form,” David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research, said, according to Variety.

Netflix’s One Piece has revealed the designs of three major ships so far, with a few key changes from their anime and manga counterparts. Whenever a story is being adapted into a new medium, it’s common for changes to be made to the source material to accommodate the change in medium, especially when the change is from animation to live-action. Netflix’s One Piece won’t be any different in that regard, going by what’s been seen of the adaption’s set pieces so far.
During 2022’s Netflix Geeked Week, a sneak peek of Netflix’s One Piece was shown that briefly revealed and discussed some of the set designs for the upcoming series. Not much in the way of new information was given, but Nami’s map room at Arlong Park was discussed, and the official set designs for Monkey D. Luffy’s hometown of Foosha Village, the Going Merry, the Miss Love Duck, and the Baratie were all shown. That only covers a fraction of One Piece’s vast settings, but since season 1 will likely only cover the East Blue saga at most, it makes sense that the number of set pieces would be limited.
There are already some clear differences between the live-action sets and the original illustrations. As of now, only a few shots of One Piece’s ships and some concept art have been shown, so it’s impossible to fully gauge the differences between the anime and manga and Netflix’s live-action One Piece. However, there’s still a fair amount that’s been presented, and with the designs of these three ships likely set in stone at this point, the differences between them and their original versions still warrant discussion.
Every Change To The Miss Love Duck Ship
The first ship shown was the Miss Love Duck, the signature ship of one of Luffy’s first enemies in One Piece, “Iron Mace” Alvida. Of the ships that have been shown so far, the Miss Love Duck has the fewest differences from the original version, with the live-action version retaining its design of a pink ship with hearts on the sails and a duck figurehead, but there are a few cosmetic changes to the design. The duck figurehead, for example, is also pink in live-action as opposed to being white in anime, and it now has normal eyes as opposed to the heart-shaped eyes that it had in the One Piece anime. Not only that, but the bow of the Miss Love Duck has a pair of black wings folded into it, the center sail features crossbones underneath the heart that wasn’t there in the source material, and the mast is covered in mirrors, likely as a means of highlighting Alvida’s vanity. Beyond that, very few changes appear to have been made to the Miss Love Duck in live-action.
Every Change To The Going Merry Ship
The second ship shown was the Going Merry, the original ship of the Straw Hat Pirates before its destruction in the Enies Lobby arc. Just like in the One Piece anime, the Going Merry is a brown ship with a sheep figurehead and a large sail featuring the Jolly Roger of the Straw Hat Pirates, but there are some notable differences. The Jolly Roger of the Straw Hat Pirates, for example, is shown to be much more angular than the rounded design from the anime and manga, the crossbones aren’t connected to the skull, and the straw hat is drawn to be slightly torn in the front; this suggests a possible change in Luffy’s iconic straw hat, as well. As for the ship, itself, the concept art shows the port side of the Going Merry decorated with what appear to be curled horns, likely to emphasize the sheep theme, and the cannons that were originally deep into the port and starboard sides are now much closer to the main cannon at the bow of the ship. The biggest change to the Going Merry, however, comes from its figurehead, as the cartoonish and simplistic design of the sheep figurehead has been replaced with a highly-realistic sheep design for the live-action One Piece adaptation, the figurehead even now having ears. It’s a very big departure from the original design, and as for why it was done, it’s likely a combination of creating a sense of realism and a need to give the show a distinct feeling separate from the original series.
Every Change To The Baratie Ship
The final ship shown was the Baratie, the floating restaurant Sanji was working at when the Straw Hat Pirates first met him, and of the three ships shown, it’s the one that’s gone through the most changes. The original version was very simplistic with its design and really only had the fish accessories that made it stand out, but the live-action version has far more going into its design. The Baratie is now decorated with golden mermaid statues and carvings of fish, the Jolly Roger of One Piece’s Cook Pirates, the original crew of Zeff, who will be played by EastEnders Craig Fairbrass, can be seen on the outside of the restaurant, and based on the concept art, the interior will be a large, two-floored restaurant with vibrant red coloring for the stairs and seats and a mural of a naval battle on the ceiling. The fins, which were originally only there to provide a space for Luffy and Sanji to fight the Krieg Pirates without damaging the restaurant, are now used to provide outdoor dining for people, and the fish figurehead now features a bar inside of the mouth for people to drink from; this makes it possible that the fish figurehead won’t double as the attack ship Sabagashira I like it did in the anime and manga, but it’s too early to tell.
All in all, there are clear differences between the live-action versions of some of the ships and how they looked in the One Piece anime and manga, with some being largely cosmetic and others being a major change from the original. Even with the major changes, however, there’s still a sense of charm to the designs that make it clear that the show intends to maintain a degree of faithfulness to the original series. Netflix’s One Piece is likely going to premiere in 2023 at the latest, and in that time, more set pieces are likely to be released that, with any luck, will follow a similar pattern of largely keeping to the original while adding a unique style for the benefit of live-action. | https://www.somagnews.com/in-every-way-netflixs-one-piece-has-changed-3-major-ships/ | 2022-07-04T23:29:55Z | https://www.somagnews.com/in-every-way-netflixs-one-piece-has-changed-3-major-ships/ | true | 1 |

1. Tell readers a bit about yourself and how you ended up in Flagler County. My name is Tahni Chiarelli (pronounced Taw-nee Sure-elly). My husband, Tom, and I have been married for 28 years. We have 6 children who are all grown and married and we are about to have our 11th grandchild! Our only “child” at home is our rescue dog, Katie. We are from Missouri (Kansas City area – Go Chiefs!), where I was an elementary teacher and my husband worked for the St. Luke’s Medical Health Systems. We vacationed with our family up and down the Atlantic Coast of Florida almost every year since our first year of marriage. About 6 years ago on one of these vacations, we took the scenic route down A1A from South Carolina to our destination. We fell in love with this area as we drove through and knew we would move here when Tom retired. Definitely a hidden piece of paradise! Even though I have been a beach girl at heart my whole life, we officially became Floridians a little over a year ago. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652843193142/volusia-school-news-july-1-2022 | 2022-07-04T23:42:04Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652843193142/volusia-school-news-july-1-2022 | true | 20 |
Three people accused of robbing, threatening, assaulting and unlawfully detaining a group of friends have avoided a re-trial after a last-minute plea change.
Troy Mudford, 21, of Hamilton, Shannon Jenifer Avery, 39, of Brightwater in Nelson, and Maxine Danielle McWaters, 30, of Matamata, were on trial in the High Court at Hamilton in April defending four charges of aggravated robbery relating to the alleged theft of wallets, cellphones and clothing.
They also each faced four charges of kidnapping, while Avery faced an additional charge of assault using a knife as a weapon.
Mudford faces two additional charges of assault using a hammer as a weapon, threatening to kill, injuring with intent to injure, and demands with menaces property belonging to another victim with intent to steal it.

Advertise with NZME.All of the charges related to an incident in Hamilton which stretched from Friday between January 16 through to the early hours of Saturday 17, 2021.
The trial had to be aborted just over halfway through and a new trial was set to begin in Hamilton today after the jury was sworn in yesterday.
However, the trio pleaded guilty to lesser charges and were remanded in custody for sentencing in September.
All three admitted a charge of robbery, while Mudford and Avery pleaded guilty to charges of assault with a weapon. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/trio-plead-as-alleged-hamilton-kidnapping-re-trial-gets-set-to-kick-off/CRP5P4KXK4KTIDU3VQJUUINIRE/?c_id=1&objectid=12535945&ref=rss | 2022-07-04T23:52:00Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/trio-plead-as-alleged-hamilton-kidnapping-re-trial-gets-set-to-kick-off/CRP5P4KXK4KTIDU3VQJUUINIRE/?c_id=1&objectid=12535945&ref=rss | false | 3 |

Agli baar double-engine sarkar in Telangana state, says PM Modi
In marked contrast, every other BJP leader who addressed the public meeting before the PM criticised the TRS supremo and his administration in the harshest possible tone.
Published: 04th July 2022 07:52 AM | Last Updated: 04th July 2022 07:52 AM | A+A A-
HYDERABAD: Opting to ignore the sustained campaign against him and the BJP by the TRS leadership over the last few months, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday tried to send a message of hope and positivity, focusing on explaining what a ‘Double-Engine Sarkar’ could mean for the growth and development of Telangana.
Addressing a mammoth crowd of people that converged at the Parade Grounds for ‘Vijaya Sankalpa Sabha’, Modi avoided mention of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao during his speech, that lasted around 20 minutes, preferring to connect to the audience not as the Prime Minister, but as a leader who understands their pulse. This prompted State Finance Minister T Harish Rao to criticise the Prime Minister for not answering any of the questions posed by the Chief Minister to the Prime Minister on Saturday.
In marked contrast, every other BJP leader who addressed the public meeting before the PM criticised the TRS supremo and his administration in the harshest possible tone.Amidst ‘Modi Modi’ chants that reverberated across the venue, the Prime Minister referred to 2019 General Elections, the GHMC elections and all other elections that followed, saying that the trends indicated that the BJP was making inroads into the hearts of the people, which he said would pave the way for a ‘double-engine government’ in Telangana.
“When there is a double-engine in Telangana, there will be expeditious development of its villages and cities. We need to link development with positivity,” Modi said.Speaking about the qualitative change in the life of every citizen, especially the sections of society like the poor, SCs, STs and BCs who have been neglected for decades, he said that the schemes introduced by the Centre over the last eight years have also touched the lives of the people of Telangana.
Women empowerment
Noting that schemes like Swachh Bharat Mission and PM Ujjwala Yojana had upheld the respect of women and contributed to the betterment of their health by making their lives easier, Modi said that linking these schemes with banking services had multifold effects on their lives.“Surveys have shown that women’s contribution in bank deposits has been increasing. This is more among rural women. Their share in property and their participation in the decision-making process in the families has increased. For the first time, the woman-to-man population ratio has seen an increase on the women’s side. Woman power is turning into nation power,” the Prime Minister said.
Development in Telangana
Describing Hyderabad as a centre for research and innovation, Modi recalled how Covid-19 vaccine that was developed in the city saved crores of lives during the pandemic. Assuring that the Centre was trying to strengthen that ecosystem, he emphasised that the Centre was seriously trying to establish Science City in Hyderabad.
“The National Animal Research Facility for Biomedical Research is ready to operate and the Ramagundam Fertiliser Factory, set up at a cost of Rs 6,500 crore will be dedicated to the nation soon. There are five major projects worth Rs 35,000 crore that would benefit the farmers which the Centre has been working on. New infrastructure projects like the four and six-lane flyovers and elevated corridors will be implemented in Hyderabad at a cost of Rs 1,500 crore and the 350 km Regional Ring Road around the city, the National Highways, village roads and the railway lines will help develop rural and urban areas equally,” Modi said.
Announcing that one of the seven mega textile parks coming up in the country would be established in Telangana, he said that the “farm to fibre, fibre to factory, factory to fashion and fashion to foreign” supply-chain model will not only benefit farmers, but also the working class and industrialists part of the model.
PM showers praise on Telangana’s culture, heritage and literature
The Prime Minister also praised Telangana for carrying forward its legacy of preserving culture, heritage architecture and literature, which he said inspired him to serve its people with utmost respect.
“The people of Telangana are known for their great talent and hard work. This ancient land is known for its glory, from Bhadrachalam Rama to Yadadri Laskmi Narasimha, from Alampur’s Jogulamba to Bhadrakali of Warangal. The Almighty’s blessings are showered on our country from this divine land. The magnificent architecture of the Ramappa temple and the courage shown by Komuram Bheem, Pratapa Rudra and Rani Rudrama Devi for their sacrifices, make us proud,” Modi said. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/telangana/2022/jul/04/agli-baar-double-engine-sarkar-in-telangana-state-says-pm-modi-2472610.html | 2022-07-04T23:55:55Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/telangana/2022/jul/04/agli-baar-double-engine-sarkar-in-telangana-state-says-pm-modi-2472610.html | false | 1 |

NEW YORK, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM) redeemable senior notes (the "Notes") between February 13, 2020 and June 23, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"), including the following senior redeemable notes issued by WM in May 2019: (i) 2.95% Senior Notes due 2024; (ii) 3.20% Senior Notes due 2026; (iii) 3.45% Senior Notes due 2029; and (iv) 4.00% Senior Notes due 2039, of the important August 8, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Waste Management Notes during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Waste Management class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6891 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 8, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the U.S. Department of Justice had indicated to Waste Management that it would require Waste Management to divest significantly more assets than the $200 million Antitrust Revenue Threshold; (2) as a result, the merger would not be completed by the End Date; and (3) the Notes would be subject to mandatory redemption at 101% of par. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Waste Management class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6891 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Five Labour metro mayors have backed workers’ right to strike as they warned the cost-of-living crisis is “forcing an increasing number of people into industrial disputes”.
In a statement, the mayors said striking is at times the only remaining means for people to “defend their livelihoods”, with those compelled to take a stand recently including rail workers, barristers and airport staff.
They expressed their support for “the right to take action to protect jobs, safety, pensions, pay and conditions”, arguing that paying a “fair wage” is not “too much ask”.
The statement is signed by Labour mayors Steve Rotheram, of the Liverpool City Region, and Andy Burnham, of Greater Manchester, as well as Labour and Co-operative mayors Nik Johnson, of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Oliver Coppard, of South Yorkshire, and Jamie Driscoll, of North of Tyne.
“As metro mayors we work every day with businesses to boost our regional economies,” they said.
“Our Good Work Charters and Good Work Pledges are supported by hundreds of enlightened employers covering tens of thousands of workers. Many employers are exemplary and look after their workforce.
“Sadly, this doesn’t always happen. We’ve seen a worrying increase in fire and rehire.
“No one wants to see strikes happening. But at times, the only means working people have left to defend their livelihoods is industrial action. We support the right to take action to protect jobs, safety, pensions, pay and conditions.”
The mayors warned there could be “many more” workers, including teachers, doctors and other NHS staff, who are compelled to strike.
“The cost-of-living crisis is forcing an increasing number of people into industrial disputes,” they said.
“Rail workers, criminal barristers, airport check-in staff. And there could be many more, including teachers, doctors, other NHS staff, postal and telecoms workers. This affects everyone.
“Paying a fair wage to the people who keep our country running isn’t too much ask. We urge employers to meet with trade unions and negotiate an end to these disputes.”
It comes as barrister strikes continue at criminal courts around the country for a second week.
Industrial action on the railways crippled Britain’s transport network last month, with the prospect of further disruption on the horizon.
Holidaymakers also face chaos at airports this summer as BA staff demand the 10% of pay they had “stolen” from them last year as they faced fire and rehire tactics.
Mr Burnham previously gave his backing to workers going on strike as he sought to downplay his Labour leadership ambitions.

WASHINGTON, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Below is a statement by U.S. Conference of Mayors CEO and Executive Director, Tom Cochran, on today's mass shooting in Highland Park (IL):
"Today as we celebrate our nation's independence and the freedoms we enjoy, we are reminded that we are not free from gun violence and that nothing, not even a Fourth of July parade in a suburban community, is immune. Every day gun violence kills more than 100 people in our country. Today, in one community alone, at least six people are dead and dozens more injured, apparently because a young man had access to a high-powered weapon and decided to target innocent children and families celebrating our country's birth.
"The nation's Mayors stand with Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering, the police officers and other officials who quickly responded, treated the wounded and guided those at the parade to safety, and the entire Highland Park community. Once again, we send our condolences to the victims and their families.
"As the nation's mayors speak out once again to decry yet another mass shooting, along with a daily death toll that occurs on the streets of cities across the nation, we all must ask what else we can do to reduce gun violence in our country. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act enacted just one week ago will help and is an indication that Congress can act, but as today demonstrates more must be done in our cities, our states and in Washington."
About the United States Conference of Mayors -- The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are more than 1,400 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.

CONLEY COMMENTARY (WSAU) – In yesterday’s commentary I spoke about the fatal police shooting of Patrick Lyoya in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Some claim that he was shot during a traffic stop. That’s a gross misrepresentation of the the facts. He is dead because he disobeyed a dozen lawful orders by a...

For America’s 246th birthday, Bay Area residents celebrated with their families and communities Monday, starting with the beloved tradition of watching or marching in July 4 parades, which returned to many towns after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
With overcast skies keeping morning temperatures pleasant and balmy, attendees waved flags and donned red, white and blue at parades in Alameda and San Jose for the first time since 2019. People seemed especially eager to focus on what they cherish about July 4: Shared traditions that unite people in this country rather than cause divisions.
“It’s a hard place right now with everything that’s happening,” Alameda native Eric Mentch, 53, said at his hometown Fourth of July parade. “This place we’re all in. We got in it together, and the only way we’re going to get out of it is together.”
Along sidewalks in downtown Alameda, the site of America’s longest July 4 parade, a crowd of up to 2,500 gathered two and three people deep along the 3.3-mile route. Residents also stood on their front-yard porches with American flags in one hand and their cell phones in another. Longtime parade attendees noted that the crowd was significantly smaller than it was in 2019, but it was vociferous.
Some tried to make political statements about polarizing Supreme Court rulings, including the overturn of Roe v. Wade, which ended women’s constitutional right to abortion. News also was breaking that yet another mass shooting had just occurred in America, this time at a Fourth of July parade in an affluent suburb north of Chicago. Within hours, the tragedy that left six people dead had sparked another online national debate about guns and violence in America.
But for the day at least, most attendees at Bay Area parades mostly seemed interested in downplaying talk of political and cultural differences.
U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, Lee was among the dignitaries attending Alameda’s parade, along with California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Alameda Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft. She agreed that divisions make it feel as though the country is coming apart. But she said this tumultuous backdrop shows why such community celebrations are important.
“It’s very significant, because we see all of what we represent as Americans out here in this parade,” Lee said. “Men, women of all ages and backgrounds. The fight continues, but you see that we can be united in that.”
At San Jose’s Rose, White and Blue Parade and Festival in San Jose, some of the thousands in attendance expressed gratitude about being able to meet up with family and friends for a beloved annual event after a two-year hiatus.
“The only years that we missed were the COVID years when (the parade) didn’t happen,” said Kristina Pirlot-Grijalva. She was there with husband Henry, father Ray and other family members and friends, while her daughter Kailani marched with fellow students from Trace Elementary School in San Jose. “It’s a really good opportunity to get together as a family.”
The parade, which made its way down Dana and Naglee avenues before finishing up on the Alameda, also featured other local groups. One highlight was a procession of beautifully restored classic cars: Impalas, Bel Airs, Mustangs and lowriders, flexing their hydraulics down the parade route.
For Ray and Sandy Ravizza, members of the San Jose Classic Chevys Club, the chance to drive their ’56 Bel Air in the parade let them indulge in some personal nostalgia. As Sandy Ravizza said, the car was her husband’s present to himself in 1959. She also said, “We dated in it. We got married in it. We brought our kids home from the hospital in it.”
Christine Kamp, attending with daughters Chelsea and Courtney, believes the Rose, White and Blue Parade is important for building a sense of community, especially in a city as big and diverse as San Jose. “I think it’s just nice to celebrate America as a community,” said Kamp. “It’s something I can give my girls.” | https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2022/07/04/sjm-l-parade-0705/ | 2022-07-05T00:28:59Z | https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2022/07/04/sjm-l-parade-0705/ | true | 3 |

LONDON: Robusta coffee futures on ICE hit fresh ten month lows on Monday amid increased supplies from top producers Vietnam and Indonesia, though improved sentiment in the wider financial markets kept losses in check.
COFFEE
September robusta coffee dipped 0.2% to $2,002 a tonne, having hit its lowest since late August last year at $1,998.
World stocks rose on Monday in trade thinned by a US holiday, benefiting from a recovery in oil prices as concerns about tight supply helped to balance recession fears.
Robusta coffee speculators cut their net long position by 4,810 lots to 16,762 lots as of June 28, data showed.
Dealers said funds had likely further reduced their net long position in robusta since then, noting rising exports from Vietnam, the world’s top robusta producer.
Vietnam coffee exports are estimated to have increased 13.3% year-on-year in June and 21.7% in the first six months of this year, data showed last week Exports of Indonesia’s Sumatra robusta coffee beans rose 27.26% in May from a year ago, data showed. Indonesia is the world’s third largest robusta producer.
COCOA
September London cocoa dipped 0.2% to 1,712 pounds a tonne, having hit its lowest since early March at 1,700.
Cocoa is under pressure from concern that soaring inflation could slow global growth and dent demand. Rain in top producer Ivory Coast, meanwhile, is helping the upcoming main crop.
Above average rainfall last week in some of Ivory Coast’s cocoa growing regions will help cocoa trees but more sunshine would be needed to strengthen the development of the next main crop, farmers said on Monday.
SUGAR
August white sugar rose 0.8% to $553.80 a tonne. White sugar speculators cut their net long position by 4,456 lots to 21,590 lots as of June 28, exchange data showed. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40184310/robusta-coffee-hits-10-month-low-on-increased-supplies | 2022-07-05T00:44:46Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40184310/robusta-coffee-hits-10-month-low-on-increased-supplies | true | 1 |

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Victor Caratini hit a three-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Monday.
Caratini's big hit followed an eventful ninth inning that featured an inside-the-park homer from Chicago's Seiya Suzuki and a two-out, bases-loaded walk by Milwaukee's Christian Yelich.
After striking out in each of his four previous at bats, Caratini hit a 2-1 sinker from Scott Effross (1-4) over the center-field wall.
It was Caratini's second career walk-off homer. He also did it June 17, 2021, for for San Diego against Cincinnati's Amir Garrett.
Milwaukee's Brad Boxberger (3-1) worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 10th by striking out Willson Contreras and Ian Happ, who had been ahead 3-1 in the count.
A game that started out as a pitchers' duel between Chicago's Justin Steele and Milwaukee's Eric Lauer went haywire in the ninth inning.
It was 1-all when Suzuki, activated from the injured list earlier in the day, hit a drive off Josh Hader that ricocheted off an angled portion of the center-field wall, bounced past center fielder Jonathan Davis and rolled along the warning track back toward right field.
Davis finally chased the ball down and threw to second baseman Luis Urías as Suzuki sprinted around the bases. After Urías threw to the plate, Suzuki slid around Caratini’s tag attempt at the plate.
Hader, who entered the game with a 1.05 ERA, was working for the second straight day after throwing 33 pitches in a 2-0 victory at Pittsburgh on Sunday. He also allowed a one-out double to Nico Hoerner but left him stranded at third.
Cubs closer David Robertson couldn't protect the lead.
Urías led off with a single and with one out, Keston Hiura hit a ground-rule double that bounced over the wall in left-center field.
Robertson struck out Jace Peterson for the second out but hit Kolten Wong with a pitch to load the bases. After the Cubs held a conference on the mound, Robertson stayed in the game and walked Yelich on four pitches to bring home the tying run.
Willy Adames had a chance to win the game for the Brewers but struck out against Robertson.
Steele held Milwaukee hitless for the first four innings and helped the Cubs carry a 1-0 lead into the seventh, when Pedro Severino delivered a two-out, tying double. The Cubs’ only run through the first eight innings came in the third as rookie Nelson Velázquez hit his first homer in his 14th career game.
Lauer struck out nine, walked two and allowed two hits and one run in six innings. Steele also struck out nine and threw a career-high 108 pitches while allowing four walks, two hits and one run in 6 2/3 innings.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cubs: OF Suzuki was playing for the first time since May 26 due to a sprained left ring finger. ... The Cubs made room for Suzuki by optioning OF Narciso Crook to Triple-A Iowa.
Brewers: OF Hunter Renfroe ran Monday and was on the field for the first time since going on the injured list. Renfroe went on the injured list June 26, retroactive to June 23, with a strained left calf.
UP NEXT
This three-game series continues Tuesday as Kyle Hendricks (4-6, 4.76) starts for the Cubs and Jason Alexander (2-0, 3.82) pitches for the Brewers in a matchup of right-handers.

It’s a species that has graced the groins of many an unfortunate nether-region over the years, but new figures reveal that the pubic louse’s once dominant reign of terror could finally be drawing to a close.
With the growing trend for pubic hair removal (Brazilians, Hollywoods, and general down-below topiary) reaching an all-time high amongst its hosts, the louse (or the Phthirus pubis, if you please) has had no other option than to sit back and watch its natural habitat wiped out in all manner of traumatic and barbaric ways, with hot wax, razors, scissors and even chemical warfare cruelly used on their once safe, fruitful and fertile breeding grounds.
The Daily Mail and Bloomberg were the first to shed light on the frankly, shocking figures from Sydney’s main sexual health clinic who says that it hasn't treated a woman with pubic lice since 2008. If any lice were thinking of jumping ship to the rather more bumpy terrain of the male genitalia, I’m afraid that the future looks just as dismal. The once reliably hairier of the sexes has been increasingly participating in a phenomenon known as ‘manscaping’, thereby reducing the number of cases in this demographic by 80% in recent years too.
Depressing reading for lice everywhere, but it appears that the writing’s on the wall. The age old battle of human v crab may be finally reaching its rather brutal conclusion…
Pubic lice are homeless - and it's all our fault

Dee-Brief is the new female-driven dramedy coming to PEACH and 10 play that every millennial needs in their lives.
When Dee breaks up with her long-term on-again-off-again boyfriend, she does the only thing that makes sense – moves in with her parents best friend Kate.
So begins the greatest love story of all time – two people who can completely be themselves in each other’s presence, share beds, fart on each other, weep until their eyes fall out then read each other passages from their favourite books.
That’s right, it’s a story about the love between two female best friends, not the men that come into their lives.
It’s Sex and the City without much Big, or Aiden.
It’s Girls, without Marnie whining about her latest bad-choice-boyfriend for 50 minutes.
And it’s an Aussie show, set in inner-city Melbourne, written by women, for everyone (because there’s no reason why a bloke shouldn’t enjoy a story about a couple of sheilas).
We’ve all sat around with friends shooting the sh@t and making comedy out of our everyday lives while thinking how hilarious other people would find us if our dinner parties were recorded for a podcast. Well Jessica Pearce, Sarah Hickey, Alexandra Hines and Chloe Martin went one step further and made a show out of it. And it’s rad.

Festivities at Point Mallard for Fourth of July
DECATUR, Ala. (WAFF) - Kiwanis of Decatur held the annual Spirit of America event on Independence Day and for the first time it was at Point Mallard.
There were fun activities for adults and children as there were inflatables, local vendors and food trucks. All of the money raised was collected by Kiwanis and donated to a new children’s project in Decatur.
President of Kiwanis club of Decatur said Kiwanis specifically wanted to be a part of the kids activities, since it is all about giving back and supporting kids in the community.
“We are partnering with several different agencies that will support children, we’ve got an upcoming project in Decatur that’s in the works called Turtle Bridge,” Charlotte said. “There is going to be a kids playground and Kiwanis will be a sponsor or a partner with that project.”
There were more deputies at the event than last year as this is an overall precaution that the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office is taking to keep the community safe.

Two climate change protesters glued themselves to the frame of John Constable’s masterpiece The Hay Wain.
The Just Stop Oil (JSO) protesters also attached their own image of “an apocalyptic vision of the future” of the landscape, on three large sheets of paper, featuring an old car dumped in front of the Mill and the Hay Wain cart carrying an old washing machine. The protesters struck at central London’s National Gallery (NG) at 2.15pm on Monday, forcing the evacuation of art lovers, tourists and a class of 11-year-old children on a school trip from the room where the painting hangs.
They were later named by JSO as music student Eben Lazarus, 22, and psychology student Hannah Hunt, 23, both of Brighton. They wore white T-shirts with the logo Just Stop Oil, stepped over a rope barrier and then placed the printed coloured paper on to the front of the painting.
Each also placed a hand on the frame of the painting and kneeled beneath it before loudly outlining their concerns as visitors were ushered out by security staff. During the protest Lazarus, who described himself himself as an art lover, said: “Art is important. It should be held for future generations to see, but when there is no food what use is art. When there is no water, what use is art. When billions of people are in pain and suffering, what use then is art.”
The Hay Wain, which was painted in 1821, is one of the most popular paintings at the gallery and shows a rural Suffolk scene of a wagon returning to the fields across a shallow ford for another load. Lazarus said: “We have stuck a reimagined version of the Hay Wain that demonstrates our road to disaster.”
Hunt later said “the disruption will end when the UK Government makes a meaningful statement that it will end new oil and gas licences”. She added: “I’m here because our government plans to license 40 new UK oil and gas projects in the next few years.
“This makes them complicit in pushing the world towards an unliveable climate and in the death of billions of people in the coming decades. You can forget our ‘green and pleasant land’ when further oil extraction will lead to widespread crop failures which means we will be fighting for food. Ultimately, new fossil fuels are a death project by our Government.
“So yes, there is glue on the frame of this painting but there is blood on the hands of our government.”
A spokesman for the NG said the room was closed to the public and police were called. They said later: “The painting was removed from the wall to be examined by our conservation team.
"The Hay Wain suffered minor damage to its frame and there was also some disruption to the surface of the varnish on the painting – both of which have now been successfully dealt with. The painting will be rehung in Room 34 ready for when the National Gallery opens at 10am on Tuesday.”
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “At approximately 14.25 on Monday officers were called to a protest taking place inside the National Gallery involving two people. Two people were arrested.”
It is the latest demonstration by the group which in the past week has allegedly targeted a Scottish art gallery and stormed Sunday’s British Grand Prix.

The right-wing extremist website Breitbart.com covered Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s angry response to the mass murder at a July 4th parade today that left six dead and 19 wounded in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
It began with straight news coverage of Pritzker’s remarks.
“Grief will not bring the victims back, and prayers alone will not put a stop to the terror of rampant gun violence in our country,” Pritzker said. “I will stand firm with Illinoisans and Americans: we must – and we will – end this plague of gun violence.”
That apparently was offensive enough to Breitbart editors that they ignored the Right’s “now is not the time to politicize this tragedy” trope invoked after countless acts of gun violence. In fact, Breitbart wasn’t about to let taste or respect for the grieving, shattered community get in its way.
“As Breitbart News previously reported, the local jurisdiction of Highland Park already “banned ‘assault weapons’ and magazines with more than ten rounds of ammunition” and that the “U.S. Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the law in 2015.” Legal analyst Ken Klukowski of Breitbart News wrote at the time of the decision that Highland Park ‘has a long track record of opposing citizens exercising the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms’ through the banning of so-called ‘assault weapons.’
“Assault weapons are not an actual class of firearms,” Klukowski argued. “The term is often confused with ‘assault rifles,’ which are a class of firearms. But for most such bans, ‘assault weapons’ excludes some types of assault rifles and includes guns that are not assault rifles.”
Also, with no sense of shame or irony, Breitbart took a strange dig at the Illinois governor.
“Pritzker concluded his statement with a call to end the “terror of rampant gun violence in our country” while stopping short of any gun control policy prescriptions.”
As if Breitbart would cover them if he had. | https://www.rawstory.com/breitbart-highland-park-mass-shooting/ | 2022-07-05T01:22:06Z | https://www.rawstory.com/breitbart-highland-park-mass-shooting/ | false | 1 |
FORT POLK, La. — Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital hosted a skills fair June 27 for nurses and medics at the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk, Louisiana.
Lt. Col. Dwight Berry, assistant director for nursing said the skills fair allows nurses and medics to practice critical war time skills.
“The focus for this event was to train on certain skills that our nurses and medics won’t typically see in a garrison environment,” he said. “This type of training is very critical to operational readiness.”
Berry said the training focused on individual critical task list requirements based on military occupational specialty and areas of concentration.
“Our hospital education and staff development team created three lanes for participants to focus on; orthopedic tasks, airway and lung integrity, and arterial blood gases and line management,” he said. “HESD is a true JRTC education force multiplier as we are able to reach out and train all installation medical providers, not just BJACH staff.”
Berry said during the fair, students applied tourniquets to control extremity bleeding, initiated an intraosseous device, opened an airway, performed needle chest decompression, inserted nasogastric tubes, managed the chest drainage system, monitored blood products, monitored mechanical ventilators and operated a medical ventilation system.
Spc. Anthony Moody Jr., combat medic specialist, 1st Battalion, 509th Infantry Regiment said he learned intraosseous (IO) injection techniques during the fair.
“I’m here learning to save lives,” he said. “These techniques are invaluable in the management and resuscitation of patients on the battlefield.”
Spc. Devin Seibel, combat medic specialist, C Company, 710 Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division said just arrived to Fort Polk and recently changed his MOS from petroleum supply specialist.
“I just graduated from advanced individual training two weeks ago,” he said. “I enjoyed the training, it was a great refresher from the school house. I had never done an IO with a hand held device before, so that was really cool.”
Sgt. Cole Loveberry, C Co, 710th BSB, 3rd BCT, 10th MTN DIV, has been a medic for five years.
“I recently arrived to Fort Polk from 5th Ranger Training Battalion, (where) it’s the mountain phase of Ranger school,” he said. “I took care of a lot of skin infections and a variety of minor training injuries. This training is a great opportunity to refresh our knowledge and get hands on with simulators and training aides.”
Spc. Devin Capwell, combat medic specialist, C Co, 710th BSB, 3rd BCT, 10th MTN DIV, said all three lanes were valuable to the attendees.
“It’s always helpful to train because our skills are perishable,” he said. “Training events like this are important for combat and overall readiness.
There is always a possibility that we’ll get called up to deploy or support a mission somewhere around the world. We need to be prepared to support our fellow Soldiers.”
Maj. Carmen Salcedo, commander, C Co, 710th BSB, 3rd BCT, 10th MTN DIV, sent her medics to the skills fair for a refresher and to complete ICTL requirements.
“This training contributes to our unit’s overall readiness,” she said. “My medics provide advanced medical support to 3/10th in a tactical environment. They are counting on us to save lives. Skills fairs offered at BJACH give my Soldiers the opportunity to get hands on training, improve their abilities and build their confidence.”
This work, BJACH hosts skills fair for military nurses, medics, by Jean Graves, identified by DVIDS, must comply with the restrictions shown on https://www.dvidshub.net/about/copyright. | https://www.dvidshub.net/news/424297/bjach-hosts-skills-fair-military-nurses-medics | 2022-07-05T01:25:27Z | https://www.dvidshub.net/news/424297/bjach-hosts-skills-fair-military-nurses-medics | false | 1 |
Tycoon in murder trial faces investor fury over lost millions
By Benjamin Robertson and Jonathan Browning
For more than a decade, Harvey Boulter was a go-to guy for investors seeking hot British technology start-ups. Holder of a UK security clearance, he was a gatekeeper for Ministry of Defence-backed projects touted as revolutionising realms from blood screening to diagnostics testing.
His past as an aerospace banker at UBS Group AG helped convince Middle Eastern royalty, veteran business executives and disparate UK expatriates to commit some $US670 million ($983 million) to ventures marketed by Boulter’s Cayman Islands-registered Porton Capital, named to echo the MOD research centre.
While Boulter, 53, amassed boats, cars and estates on three continents, very few of his investors got any of their money back. But that may be about to change. Boulter is facing a London lawsuit by creditors from one of his most promising startups as well as scrutiny in his personal life over a murder charge in Namibia and an alleged assault on his ex-wife. As detractors suddenly step forward, claims against Boulter of financial malpractice are shaping up into one of the biggest set of such allegations in the UK in years. Some are calling for an official investigation and new safeguards in the defence investment industry. Boulter denies any wrongdoing.
What happened went far beyond the oft-heard warning that start-ups are high risk. According to the lawsuits, much of the money handed to Porton Capital never made it to the portfolio company. Some investors say that when they asked questions they were intimidated into silence. The liquidators at a Porton-backed medical-testing firm alleged that more than half investors’ money was diverted to Boulter and his associates. Investors, wealth managers, and others familiar with Porton who spoke to Bloomberg said that pattern was repeated at other portfolio companies.
The details began emerging last year after a fireside argument at Boulter’s Namibian hunting lodge resulted in his killing the lodge manager. Seeing Boulter’s name in the headlines prompted investors and others who knew him to speak to Bloomberg about the failed investments. Prosecutors have filed murder charges and the case is set to go before the High Court, The Namibian reported in April. Boulter says he acted in self-defence.
Investors who didn’t see a single successful exit during Boulter’s near 15-year run remain livid that there has been no investigation into why authorities blessed him with their imprimatur for so long. “This shady operation redirected support that could have gone to UK companies while giving the impression that it was fully backed by the MOD,” said John Healey, Labour Party Shadow Defence Secretary. “Ministers need to investigate how this arrangement was managed so we can ensure the MOD properly backs British businesses in future.”
An adviser to the Saudi royal family, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Boulter portrayed himself as part of the ministry, raising money for UK taxpayer-backed firms, which is why people invested. “Where are the anti-corruption authorities?” the adviser asked.
Boulter declined to answer questions sent via his lawyer, citing ongoing civil litigation in the English courts. Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, the arm of the MOD tasked with commercialising military funded technologies, declined to comment.
Boulter began his investing career in Hong Kong in 2000 where he launched Circus Capital. It sold two products: protected growth funds tied to investments in insurers, and access to early stage ventures, incubated in some cases by the MOD.
Several of the privately-held Circus Capital companies had links to British military research centre Porton Down, where Boulter had security clearance and arranged investor tours. Among them was Alaska Food Diagnostics, which focused on pathogen diseases in food. Another was microbial detection platform Acolyte Biomedica. The most popular was Enigma Diagnostics, where investors directed around £106 million ($US188 million) to back rapid testing kit prototypes.
Interested investors, often introduced to Boulter by their financial advisers, would send money to the businessman to buy shares in anticipation that industry giants might snap up the early-stage ventures and send valuations soaring.
“The idea was that these were technologies that were effectively part of the structure of the MOD,” said Steve Baker, founder of Orion International, a Malaysia-based wealth manager that steered around 10 million pounds to Boulter.
Circus Capital had raised more than $US220 million by 2003 before the firm’s protected funds unit suffered a sudden drop in the value of the underlying assets. Hong Kong’s regulator probed how the funds were marketed, with compensation eventually paid by a wealth management firm Circus Capital had used. Boulter emerged unscathed and moved to the United Arab Emirates where he relaunched his venture as Porton Capital.
He expanded his sales team, offering hefty commissions to firms that sold his products. He led presentations and flew in senior portfolio managers to his lavish offices.
As the money rolled in, Boulter didn’t hide it. There was a Sunseeker yacht, sports cars, the safari park in Namibia, a lodge in Montana, and a $US26 million custom-built mansion in the UAE, with eight bedrooms, a 5,000-bottle wine cellar, staff quarters, cinema, and military-grade security system, according to a sales guide.
While working at a Kazakh oil refinery, Jeffrey Temple was introduced to Porton via a broker. He backed several firms, including the Wales-based blood-testing device designer Microvisk, in part because his mother had suffered a stroke and such a device would end the need for her weekly trips to the doctor, he told Bloomberg in an interview.
Temple studied Porton’s periodic updates that included plans for initial public offerings and possible sales. Goldman Sachs and Jefferies Financial Group were named as advisers. As the years passed, Temple grew concerned when none of these sales materialised. So did other Porton investors as well as several owners of the wealth management firms that had promoted Boulter to their clients.
Temple, 70, said he began visiting his portfolio companies and promptly got emails and calls from Porton staff, including Boulter, telling him to back off.
In early 2014, Boulter called. “Over quite a few minutes, I was shouted at and bullied,” Temple said. “He threatened me with his legal team and said he would block me from any future investments.” Boulter demanded Temple sign a non-disclosure agreement if he wanted further information, emails show.
Other alarmed investors did similar legwork. In Asia, the now shuttered “Smart But Enigmatic” blog compared the share price on Porton contracts to the newly issued share price information in Companies House documents. Investors were often paying many multiples more.
Investors gradually realised Porton was neither a venture capital fund charging ongoing fees to investors nor a broker levying a one-off fundraising charge. “It is not something I have seen before,” said Chris Sier, head of ClearGlass, a consultancy that advises on fees and returns in private markets.
Many client documents came with the logo of DLA Piper, one of the world’s largest law firms, and included details of partner Charles Cook, who handled the Porton account, according to the lawsuit. Investor money was to purchase a beneficial interest in the shares of the portfolio companies, court documents said. Investors and even wealth manager partners who spoke to Bloomberg said they thought they were buying newly issued shares from the companies. In fact, they were buying the marked-up shares from Porton after Boulter had bought them. Porton would continue to hold the shares as a nominee for the investors, meaning it was Porton’s name on the shareholder registry.
In a lawsuit filed last year in the English courts, liquidators for the now defunct Enigma Diagnostics alleged that of the £106 million sent to DLA Piper’s bank account, only 42 million were transferred to Enigma. The rest, £64 million, was paid to Boulter or his associates.
Boulter doesn’t dispute where the bulk of the money went. In court documents, he said investors either knew or should have known how his firm worked. Porton bore the risk of first buying shares in the firms it promoted and “was entitled both to determine the timing and price” at which those shares were sold.
DLA Piper and Cook were also named as defendants in the ongoing case. The money transfers breached rules governing how law firm accounts should be used, liquidators FRP Advisory alleged.
“We are committed as a firm to upholding the highest principles of ethics and professional standards and do not consider this claim to have any foundation,” a spokesperson for DLA Piper and Charles Cook said by email, declining to comment further.
In a separate court action, a Cayman Islands judge ruled earlier this year that Boulter did not make fraudulent declarations of solvency when winding up Porton in 2017.
By that time, Boulter was in legal trouble elsewhere, according to court documents filed in South Africa as part of his divorce hearing. In 2016, Boulter left the UAE for Namibia after being arrested at Dubai airport for an unspecified reason. In May 2017, while “severely intoxicated,” he strangled his ex-wife “to the point of unconsciousness” at her home in Virginia in the presence of their young children, court documents say. He was charged and a protective order restricted contact with his wife. Boulter has denied the assault allegations.
Other examples of alleged erratic behaviour have emerged. In 2011, Boulter took offence at how slowly Ferrari had fixed a seat belt and demanded in an email that the company take back his more than 10 cars. “The brand for me is lost,” he wrote, according to an email seen by Bloomberg.
That same year Boulter came to public prominence when he revealed a friend of Conservative Party minister Liam Fox was promoting himself as an official adviser. Fox resigned following a public outcry. He later sued Boulter for libel because Boulter told US conglomerate 3M that Fox told him the UK government was reviewing an honorary title bestowed on 3M’s chairman. In fact, one of Boulter’s portfolio companies was locked in a lawsuit with 3M. Boulter settled the libel suit and issued a statement apologising to Fox and affirmed the two had never discussed the 3M chairman.
Boulter went on to finance the failed campaign of a UK Independence Party candidate who ran against Fox in 2015 as well as a second candidate running against Conservative politician Tom Tugendhat, son of the judge who oversaw that libel case.
Then came the brawl last year. At a fireside confrontation with his lodge manager Gerhard Van Wyk, Boulter shot him in the abdomen. Boulter told The Daily Mail it was unintentional. A trial date has yet to be set. His investors will be watching.

Road accidents snuff out four lives in Mohali
As many as four people were killed in road accidents in Mohali district over the past 24 hours.
Among them were two friends who died after a speeding Mercedes-Benz SUV rammed into their motorcycle near NIPER in Sector 67 on Sunday night.
The victims were identified as Amandeep Singh, 32, a resident of Sanaur, Patiala, and Simranjit Kaur, 31, a resident of Sangrur.
Both were staying as paying guests in Sector 34, Chandigarh. While Amandeep made a living as a cab driver, Simranjit was employed with a media house in Phase 8-B, Mohali.
The SUV driver, Arvinder Singh, a resident of Delhi, was arrested.
“The SUV, a Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe 300, is owned by a car dealership in Chandigarh and Arvinder, an employee of the dealership, was returning in it after dropping some students at Indian School of Business, Sector 81, around 10.30 pm. As he reached the Sector 66/67 light point, he hit the victims’ motorcycle before ramming into NIPER’s boundary wall,” said Gagandeep Singh, station house officer (SHO), Phase 11.
He said Amandeep died on the spot and Simranjit succumbed to her injuries at Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, Chandigarh, on Monday, adding that the SUV, bearing Haryana number HR10-AF-6363, was being driven at a high speed.
Arvinder was booked under Section 304-A (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Phase-11 police station. The victims’ bodies were handed over to their family members after autopsy.

The victim was identified as Ranjit Singh, a resident of Manakpur Sharif village, in Kurali. He was working with the water supply department on a contract basis.
Investigating officer Rajinder Singh said the car driver drove off after hitting the scooter, but his car’s registration number was recorded and he will be arrested soon.
The victim was rushed to the Kurali civil hospital, where he was declared brought dead.
Around the same time, a speeding motorcycle left a 34-year-old cyclist dead on the Sector 85/86 dividing road.
The victim, Naresh Kumar, a native of Uttarakhand, lived in Sambhalki village with his family and worked as a labourer.
“Naresh was cycling back home around 7 pm. When he reached the dividing road of Sectors 85 and 86, he was hit by a motorcycle and suffered serious injuries. He was taken to a private hospital in Sohana, but he could not survive. Meanwhile, the motorcyclist fled from the scene. We are looking for CCTV footage from near the accident site and are hopeful of arresting the accused soon,” said investigating officer Sanjay Kumar.
The victim is survived by his wife and four minor children.
Autopsies were conducted before the bodies were handed over to the respective families.
Separate cases under Sections 279 (rash driving), 304-A and 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of ₹50) of the IPC were registered against the unidentified drivers.

"You can't walk around at 23 years old thinking you can beat up on people because you're bigger than us," said victim Ashly Guardino, 38. "It doesn't work like that."
Murrieta police said the incident occurred June 25 at approximately 2 a.m. outside the Cove Bar and Grill in the 40600 block of Murrieta Hot Springs Road. Guardino said she'd just finished up a night of dancing and was sitting on a bench waiting for an Uber ride when the suspect drove up in a car and began antagonizing her.
"He was heckling me from the car to the bench where I was sitting at, calling me names and laughing at me," said Guardino, who then approached the suspect to confront him.
"I said, why are you being disrespectful? And he got out of the car... I was standing with my hands in my pockets discussing his disrespect, and he hit me in the face."
Guardino said the restaurant provided her with surveillance video of the incident. After she said she was punched, the video shows her trying to kick the suspect.
"I was angry. I was standing my ground. You can't assault somebody and then tell me I need to walk away from here," said Guardino, who then tried to confront the suspect again.
"In hindsight, I should have walked away, but I was buying time. I was making a scene. I was very loud. I stepped up to him and took a swing... It was somewhat self-defense; a fight or flight type of reaction," she said.
That's when she said the suspect struck her a second time.
"He knocked me first with the elbow and second with the hand to my face. Which knocked me out for 15 minutes until the ambulance got there," she said.
Guardino said it was her Uber driver who called 911. Paramedics took her to a nearby hospital. She said she was hospitalized for a total of nine days.
"I have permanent hearing (loss). I have a basal skull fracture. I have so far minor brain damage, which has slowed down a lot of my speech, and I have bleeding on both sides of my brain."
Murrieta police said they arrested Kingtupu Logotala, 23, Hemet, on suspicion of battery with serious injury, and assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm.
Guardino said she has hired an attorney.

Re “Cheney: Protect freedom or lose it” (June 30):
Liz Cheney seems to me to embody the best the Republican party has to offer: she has courage, integrity, intelligence, humility, and a solid conservative voting record going back many years.
Unfortunately this also makes her pretty much the polar opposite of Donald Trump, and Republican leaders have made it clear they prefer someone with Trump’s qualities rather than hers.
So a vote for the Republicans is now similar to a vote for the Democrats, namely a vote for national suicide.
When is former congressman Tom Campbell going to come up with that Common Sense party I keep hearing about?

Roe v. Wade
The Roe v. Wade ruling curtails rights to privacy for women and it is grossly unequal.
Many states will now force women to have children with no exceptions.
This is authoritarian.
The ruling now sets a precedent to curtail even more rights.
Bottom line: A woman no longer has equal protection under the law in nearly half the states.
I am worried about the safety of women in our country.
California should do everything in its power to keep them safe.
— Andrew R. Fowle, Northridge
Biden/Trump
The letter writer (June 30) calls Biden “an empty suit, no character, no basic values.” This is reprehensible and without basis — how could the writer know such things about President Biden without ever meeting him?
Joe Biden, early in his career, suffered the tragedy of losing his wife and infant child in an automobile accident.
He had the courage to pick himself up and continue his life, something that few people could do.
He went on to a successful political career in the Senate for many years, followed by eight years as vice president, and now president, in spite of the former guy’s shameful and illegal dirty tricks.

The Supreme Court’s decision on Roe
Re “Is overturning Roe the right decision?” (June 28):
The Supreme Court correctly ruled that there is no Constitutional due process right to abortion.
Due process is inherently a procedural right including the right to present evidence and cross examine witnesses.
Nevertheless in prior rulings the Supreme Court created a new substantive due process right to protect substantive rights such as the right to abortion.
One problem with substantive due process is that it is a legal fiction and an oxymoron. It appears nowhere in the Constitution.
The bigger problem is that substantive due process allows the unelected court to act as a super legislature when the right to legislate belongs to elected state and federal legislators.
The country is about evenly divided on abortion but cases like Roe imposed one policy on the whole country.
Here the court correctly ruled that abortion policy should returned to the political representatives where it belongs.

Immigrant health care
Re “State is first to cover care for all immigrants” (July 1):
Now, Gavin Newsom is going to spend $2 billion a year of taxpayer money to give free healthcare to undocumented immigrants.
Really?
What has he done to help the small business owners and the people who pay for their own healthcare? Zero. I hope he runs for president in 2024 so he’s out of California.
— Jon Reitz San Pedro

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he is “concerned” that the January 6 Select Committee may have “overreached” with an alleged incident involving former President Donald Trump inside a vehicle.
Johnson, who served in the Obama administration, called the committee hearings a “profile in courage among women” and praised the hearing for being “choreographed exceptionally well for the attention span of the average American in 2022.”
However, he added, “I’m concerned as the former federal prosecutor in me – that gets you a lot of cred these days on television – I’m concerned that the committee may have overreached on the incident in the vehicle.”
Johnson was referring to former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony, in which she recounted a story alleging that Trump had tried to grab the steering wheel of the SUV he was in and lunged at a Secret Service agent in an attempt to join his supporters at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Johnson said of the story: “It was colorful, it was vivid, it was collateral to the central charge…and it was secondhand hearsay.”
Trump himself has denied the story, and shortly after Hutchinson’s testimony, multiple establishment news outlets reported that former White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Secret Service agent Tony Ornato denied that it ever happened and would be willing to testify under oath to that effect.
Johnson said he would have gone to the source of the story to verify it before making it public.
“The committee perhaps knows something that the rest of us don’t know. But before I went out with the second-hand hearsay, which is going to get a lot of attention, I’d want to know what the first-hand witness has to say,” he said.
“Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd added that Hutchinson’s retelling of the story was actually a “third-hand account.”
“I think by the time she told us the story was technically, we’re in our third version. It’s a third-hand account,” he said.
“It depends on how you interpret hearsay. But, you know, that testimony would not have been admissible in a courtroom,” Johnson added.
“And as you know, secret service agents don’t normally talk about what they see, what they hear from their protectees. I was a protectee of the secret service for three years. And they have to be in a position to hear and see all kinds of very sensitive things,” he said, casting further doubt on Hutchinson’s testimony.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. -- Police chief: Person of interest in July 4 shooting at Chicago-area parade is in custody after brief chase.

Robert E. Crimo III, the suspect in a mass shooting at a parade that left six dead and sent more than two dozen people to hospitals, has been taken into custody near Lake Forest, Illinois, authorities said during a brief news conference Monday night.
Authorities said Crimo was spotted by a North Chicago officer who attempted a traffic stop. Crimo led officers on a brief chase before being stopped. He was taken into custody without incident and will be transferred to the police department in Highland Park, where the deadly shooting occurred earlier Monday.
Crimo has not been named as a suspect. When asked, authorities said he remains a "person of interest" while they investigate and positively connect him to the scene.
The capture ended an intense manhunt across the Chicagoland area after the shooting upended Independence Day festivities in cities throughout the region.
The shooting in Highland Park, about 25 miles north of Chicago, began shortly after 10 a.m. CT as parade-goers enjoyed a sunny Fourth of July parade along Central Avenue.
Firearm evidence was found on the rooftop of a business near the shooting, police commander Chris O'Neill said earlier. The gunman used a ladder attached to the building on a wall in an alley to access the roof, said Christopher Covelli, spokesperson for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force.
The gun was a "high-powered rifle" and the attack appeared to be "random" and "intentional," Covelli said.
Authorities are working to trace the firearm to find out who purchased it and its origins, according to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spokesperson Kim Nerheim.
Covelli told reporters that SWAT members and other officers have been evacuating people from buildings within a certain radius of the shooting.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people who died at the scene were adults. One person died at a hospital, she said, but she didn't have more information about that victim.
Highland Park Fire Chief Joe Schrage said his department transported 23 people to hospitals and other victims were taken in police cars or bystanders' personal vehicles.
A total of 26 patients were received at Highland Park Hospital, according to Dr. Brigham Temple, the medical director of the NorthShore University Health System. The patients ranged in age from 8 years old to 85 years old -- four or five were children, according to Temple.
He said 19 of the 25 gunshot victims were treated and have been discharged. There were gunshot wounds to extremities as well as more central parts of bodies, he added.
The shooting caused hundreds of parade attendees to flee and triggered a large police response of local, state and federal officers, including the FBI. Heavily armed officers patrolled the streets of Highland Park on Monday afternoon, and others were positioned on rooftops with sniper rifles.
Zoe Pawelczak, who attended the Independence Day parade with her father, said parade-goers initially thought the array of pops were fireworks given the occasion.
"And I was like, something's wrong. I grabbed my dad and started running. All of a sudden everyone behind us started running," she said. "I looked back probably 20 feet away from me. I saw a girl shot and killed."
They hid behind a dumpster for about an hour until police moved them into a sporting goods store and then eventually escorted them back to their car, she said. She saw one person who had been shot in the ear and had blood all over his face and another girl who was shot in the leg, she said.
"It looked like a battle zone, and it's disgusting. It's really disgusting," she said.
The incident marks at least the 308th mass shooting in the US this year, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit tracking such incidents. The organization defines a mass shooting as involving four or more people shot, not including the shooter.
There have been 11 mass shootings in the first four days of July, including three on July 4 alone, in Richmond, Virginia; Chicago and Highland Park, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
The carnage punctuates an already bloody American spring and summer, including an 18-year-old's racist attack at a New York supermarket that killed 10 and another 18-year-old's shooting at a Texas school that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
In the wake of those massacres, President Joe Biden just nine days ago signed into law the first major federal gun safety legislation in decades, marking a significant bipartisan breakthrough on one of the most contentious policy issues in Washington.
Witnesses say gunshots caused stampede
Witnesses at the scene who spoke to CNN described a peaceful parade pierced by the sudden ring of gunfire and ensuing chaos.
Miles Zaremski said he heard what he believed to be about 20 to 30 gunshots, in two consecutive spurts of gunfire, at about 10:20 a.m. CT, shortly after the start of the parade. He told CNN he saw a number of people bloodied and on the ground and described the scene as chaotic.
Video taken by a witness, Hugo Aguilera, shows an ambulance turning around on the parade route and a police car with sirens on, as people gathered on the grassy sidewalk. Aerial video from CNN affiliate WLS shows abandoned lawn chairs up and down the parade route amid a heavy police presence.
Warren Fried, who attended the parade with his wife and 7-year-old twins, said he watched the police and ambulance pass by him at the parade and afterward heard an array of gunshots. People began yelling "shooter" and "run" and he and his family fled toward their car for safety.
"People were hiding, kids were on the streets looking for their parents, just in a state of shock," he said.
US Rep. Brad Schneider, a Democrat who represents the area, told CNN he was just arriving in Highland Park when the shots were fired and he was told to detour.
"Everyone scattered and ran. As I was going around, I came across a group of young kids who were trying to call their parents to say they were OK," he said. "So I stopped and offered them to use my phone. There were a lot of cars moving, so I helped to direct traffic for a bit."
Jeff Leon, 57, told CNN the shots sounded like "firecrackers in a garbage can," and it wasn't until he saw police officers reacting, that he knew anything had happened.
"The police started reacting, and I saw some people falling," Leon said. "We just took off. And, you know, we, we were hiding behind cars, folding into the next car and making our way."
Jose Alamar, an employee at a nearby gas station, said about 20 people ran into the gas station and took shelter after the shooting started.
The suburb of Highland Park has a population of about 30,000 people and has a per capita income of about $90,000, nearly triple the US average, according to US Census data.
The July 4th parade was expected to feature floats, marching bands, novelty groups, community entries and other special entertainment, the city said on its website. It was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. CT at the intersection of Laurel and St. Johns Avenues, and was set to head north on St. Johns Avenue and then west on Central Avenue and continue to Sunset Park, the city said.
Nearby suburbs, including Deerfield and Evanston, canceled their July 4th parades in the wake of the shooting. Events in other nearby communities were canceled.
The Chicago White Sox will hold a moment of silence before their home game but have called off their postgame fireworks.

My 2022 Marlins skepticism has been largely fueled by a combination of the team’s June/July schedule and key injuries. I feared situations like Monday, in the middle of a stretch of 30 games in 31 days, when Don Mattingly would simultaneously rest several important veteran bats and not have competent fill-ins to use. Mattingly’s getaway day lineup was as pathetic as expected...and the Marlins won anyway. Braxton Garrett’s remarkable outing and Bryan De La Cruz’s 10th-inning home run extended the club’s winning streak to five games, the longest of its kind in the National League.
Patrick Corbin entered the series finale having allowed more earned runs this season than any other MLB pitcher, on the heels of a 2021 campaign when he also allowed the most earned runs in baseball. The two-time All-Star is irrefutably over the hill, though not completely hopeless.
With the help of well-positioned defenders—or as some might say, “good luck”—Corbin limited Miami to just one run over seven innings.
That run was produced in the top of the third inning by some old-fashioned small ball. Luke Williams laid a great bunt down the third-base line for an easy single. Billy Hamilton followed with the first sacrifice bunt of the Marlins season—yes, they made it nearly three months without one! Williams stole third base during Miguel Rojas’ plate appearance, then with two outs, Jesús Aguilar scored him on a single.
Earlier in the day, I singled out Garrett as the Marlins starting pitcher who was most vulnerable to losing his rotation spot to Max Meyer. “If Garrett is anything short of dominant against the Nationals on Monday, Meyer should take his next turn in the rotation,” I wrote.
Dominant he was. The 24-year-old lefty gave the Marlins 7 1⁄3 brilliant innings, the longest outing of his professional career (majors or minors). Garrett utilized his entire pitch mix and got into favorable counts. He was efficient, throwing no more than 16 pitches in any inning. He kept his sliders down and his four-seam fastballs up and in to Washington’s righties, rarely leaving anything over the heart of the plate.
Garrett limited solid contact, and most of the exceptions were pounded straight into the ground.
The Nats finally scratched across a run to tie it at 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth. Ehire Adrianza drew a walk, stole second base and scored on Luis García’s single to right field. Garrett had to settle for a no-decision.
Mattingly began utilizing his veteran-laden bench in the ninth—Joey Wendle and Avisaíl García entered to pinch-hit for Williams and Hamilton, respectively—but they couldn’t retake the lead.
Tanner Rainey was tasked with getting through the 10th inning while stranding the automatic runner and he nearly succeeded. Rainey got back-to-back strikeouts of Jesús Aguilar and Brian Anderson and made it look easy.
But with two outs, De La Cruz caught up with a fastball up in the zone. It was 98 miles per hour coming in and 109 miles per hour going out to left field—the only question was fair or foul. The fly ball clanked high off the foul pole to put the Fish in front, 3-1.
The Marlins’ usual high-leverage arms were unavailable after three consecutive days of work. Mattingly instead put the game’s fate in the hands of Zach Pop (eighth inning), Jimmy Yacabonis (ninth) and Dylan Floro (10th). Each of them were imperfect, but sweeping any road series is hard enough—who cares about style points?
For the third time this season, the Marlins won an extra-inning contest. All three of those wins have come against the lousy Nats.
Anything else?
- It’s hard to overstate how lopsided the season series has been between these NL East rivals. The Marlins have scored more than twice as many runs as the Nats (69-32) in their 13 head-to-head games, and they are undefeated at Nationals Park.
- Rojas’ lifetime ownership of Corbin is hysterical. In 14 games (41 plate appearances), he’s hitting .429 with five extra-base hits and only one strikeout.
- Brian Anderson has long had reverse platoon splits (struggling against lefties), but he’s quietly bucking that trend this season. He entered Monday with a 157 wRC+ when hitting with the platoon advantage and that climbed even higher after recording two singles off of Corbin.
- Tommy Nance has pitched only once over the last 13 games. The Marlins clearly do not trust him and it is inexplicable that he remains on their active roster when he still has minor league options.
Don Mattingly’s Postgame Press Conference
The Marlins return to Miami for one of their shortest homestands ever, hosting the Angels for a two-game series. Sandy Alcantara and Noah Syndergaard are probable starting pitchers for the series opener on Tuesday at 6:40 p.m. Leading the Halos will be interim-interim-interim manager Bill Hasselman, who ordinarily serves as the club’s catching coach (regular interim manager Phil Nevin and bench coach Ray Montgomery are serving suspensions). | https://www.fishstripes.com/2022/7/4/23194405/marlins-news-highlights-recap-braxton-garrett | 2022-07-05T01:58:56Z | https://www.fishstripes.com/2022/7/4/23194405/marlins-news-highlights-recap-braxton-garrett | false | 1 |
Which Under Armour pants are best?
Under Armour is a well-known brand for sports and fitness enthusiasts. Just like its sporting equipment, Under Armour apparel provides features that help athletic performance, including moisture-wicking material and flexible movement. They also have pants to fit a wide range of sizes.
If you want a combination of comfort and performance, the Under Armour Woven Vital Workout Pants are a great choice. They combine fabrics designed for active lifestyles with designs that look just as great off the court or field.
What to know before you buy Under Armour pants
Why Under Armour pants are expensive
These premium pants are more expensive than some other brands but last through multiple seasons and are designed for maximum durability, even with an active lifestyle. Pants made with ripstop fabric are the most expensive but don’t tear even when snagged or caught on something. Considering that they will last for years, spending a bit more initially on Under Armour pants can actually be a better value over time.
Designed for sports
Most Under Armour pants can be worn for any active activity, but some are designed for specific uses. Golf pants and lightweight tech pants are ideal for outdoor use in hot weather. Fleece pants work for cooler climates or lounging.
Some pants can be used for sports and day-to-day wear, with features such as pockets and belt loops to be dressed up or down. Under Armour also makes uniform pants, including multiple styles of baseball and softball pants.
Designs for the family
Under Armour makes pants for men, women and kids. Not all styles are available for the entire family and most pants are not unisex. Women’s pants are often more fitted than men’s. Kids’ pants come in smaller sizes and have adjustable waistbands to extend their wearability.
What to look for in quality Under Armour pants
Material
Because Under Armour pants are made for active lifestyles, most of their pants are made with performance fabrics. These include moisture-wicking tech fabric, polyester and fleece. Some have mesh linings as well. Look for a fabric that suits your environment. Lightweight, breathable fabrics work best for hot days and fleece provides warmth without limiting your movement.
Fit
Quality athletic pants are fitted enough to allow a broad range of movement. Under Armour pants can be fitted at the ankle, such as jogger pants, or looser throughout with a straight leg. There are plenty of sizes and tall options for the best fit for every body type. Elastic waistbands are the most flexible, while button closures give a polished look.
Breathability
If you sweat a lot while you work out or play sports, look for lightweight pants that don’t trap heat. Even Under Armour’s fitted pants made with performance fabrics have plenty of breathability. Four-way stretch fabric is flexible for width and length, retaining its shape and size even as you bend and move. This helps maintain airflow while you are active.
Practical features
If you plan to wear your pants on the go, look for a pair with pockets for your keys or phone. Most Under Armour pants have pockets, but they can range from two open pockets to four with button closures. Some pants even include cargo pockets for maximum utility. Leggings, most common for women and kids, are pocketless but the least bulky.
How much you can expect to spend on Under Armour pants
Expect to spend $30-$80 on adult Under Armour pants. Prices are based on fabric, fit and extra performance features.
Under Armour pants FAQ
Is Under Armour reliable?
A. Yes. The longtime brand has a reputation for maintaining quality in its designs and workmanship. Its pants last for years and include a 60-day return policy if you change your mind. The durable fabrics resist tearing and wear even during extreme sports.
Does Under Armour make kids products?
A. While the best-selling Under Armour pants are designed for men, there’s also a durable line of kids apparel. It’s expensive but can hold up to rough wear and play, often passed down to younger siblings due to its durability. Many Under Armour kids pants are sold with matching tops or jackets.

Abstract
Popular media and researchers have given increasing attention to the perceived growing alienation and despair of white Americans. The narrative of white decline has been particularly robust in light of the recent uptick in premature deaths of whites from opioid use, but this national conversation has lacked consideration of potential associations between opioid mortality among whites and durable legacies of white advantage that were established through historical racial violence. We provide an initial analysis of how contemporary patterns of white opioid mortality in the counties of southern states relate to the presence of slavery and postbellum institutions of racial social control in those counties. We find that areas in the South with higher rates of past enslavement are associated with contemporary reductions of white vulnerability, in this case, opioid mortality. This finding supports the thesis that historical institutions of racial control offer a protective benefit within the modern white population.
