BY SHAME MAKOSHORI
MARKET confidence in Zimbabwe’s capital markets has dimmed, triggering exodus of investor from the country’s main bourse to property and private equities, a new report indicated Monday, blaming ‘aggressive policy missteps’ for the walk outs.
Inter Horizon Securities (IH)’s analysis confirmed by bears have recently camped on Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE), which has responded by surrendering 30% of its market capitalisation.
Last week, an expert at Imara attributed the flight to ad hoc policies announced in May forcing banks to halt lending, before authorities summersaulted after a market revolt.
The ZSE’s capitalisation peaked to $3,5 trillion on April 29, 2022, before slowing to US$2,48 trillion on Friday, as jitters continued to frustrate investors.
“The first six months of the year saw more aggressive policy shifts that contributed to a sharp rise in interest rates and a fall in stock market returns,” IH said in its latest investment update.
“In the past month investors shifted focus from the stock market to property and private equity. There was a construction boom as evidenced by growth in national cement consumption from below one million tonnes in 2017 to 1,4 million tonnes in 2021. Investors are in a race to complete infrastructure projects before development is disrupted by funding needs in a hyperinflationary environment. Private equity returns are less sensitive to policy shifts than the stock market. This has led to the present bear market on the ZSE. Put simply, the policy shocks that the market is digesting are morphing into growth fears, changing the pattern of investment.
“As inflationary pressures intensify, there is risk that the Ministry of Finance will work harder to tighten financial conditions to curb speculative behaviour and close arbitrage gaps. Inflationary pressures are likely to persist partly due to imported inflation. Commodity supply disruptions that drove commodity prices have so far proved to be a double-edged sword. On the one hand the World Bank forecasts Gold and Platinum prices to close the year 5% and 2% up respectively on the historic highs experienced in 2021. On the downside, local diesel and petrol prices have climbed 36% and 25% respectively,” IH noted.
It said there had also been a marked slowdown in the amount of loans flowing to the private sector, especially the mining and manufacturing sectors.
“Loans to manufacturing and mining as a percentage of total loans had reached a high of 64% in Dec 2021 but the ratio had declined to 44% as of April 2022,” the report read.
“There is a direct correlation between the inflation experience, lending rates and gross domestic product growth. Higher lending rates may discourage productive sector borrowing for expansion. For manufacturers’ the need to expand capacity is rendered mute in a hyperinflationary environment where consumer disposable income is shrinking. Companies within mining and agriculture will tend to have working capital cycles longer that 120 days. Operating activity may be constrained if working capital levels are affected by the devaluing of 25% of their retained forex.”
Last week, the country’s largest industrial lobby, the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) cautioned against potentially devastating pushbacks following policy rate hikes which saw the policy rate hiked to 200%, from 80%.
The decision, which was reached following the RBZ’s monetary policy committee (MPC) meeting on Friday, was in line with inflation trends.
Annual inflation hit 191,6% a few days before the policy decision, which has sent shock waves across industries and consumers.
The rate had been kept at 80% since March but had recently been outfoxed by a relentless inflation charge.
Industrialists said a 200% rate left Zimbabwe as one of the region’s most expensive jurisdictions for bank loans.
But under fire authorities are also determined to contain money supply and arrest the inflation rage.
The Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency said annual inflation hit 191% this month, from 131% in May, the highest such rate in Africa.
CZI president Kurai Matsheza said the biggest threat to industries would be a retrospective application of the new rate on existing loans.
“It would be interesting to see if this new interest rate applies to just new loans or existing loans because businesses would have already made budgets,” Matsheza said, speaking a day before the RBZ confirmed in new guidelines that exiting loans would also attract the 200% rate.

A Cork woman who put up with years of harassment by a middle-aged man in her area finally made a complaint to gardaí when he sexually assaulted her outside her home.
The sexual assault, which was described for Judge Helen Boyle at the sentencing hearing, consisted of him slapping her on the backside and then laughing and walking away.
It was also noted that while the harassment initially consisted of persistent unwanted attention, it went on to become more concerning as he began to stalk her.
She would see him regularly walking up and down in front of her home and sometimes stopping outside.
The defendant in the case is not identified as it would lead to the identification of the victim of a sexual assault and she has a legal right to anonymity.
Garda Gavin Barry testified that the harassment went on from June 2013 to July 2020 and the sexual assault occurred on July 13, 2020 when the defendant slapped her on the buttocks.
Defence barrister Donal O’Sullivan suggested: “It went on for a very long time although only escalated at the very end.”
Garda Barry agreed and said:
“There were multiple unwanted messages and gifts, culminating in stalking and pacing up and down outside her home and eventually leading to the sexual assault.”
The accused has been in custody since February.
Mr O’Sullivan BL said the defendant’s father was ready to take him back home to the UK and have him admitted to a psychiatric facility.
Garda Barry said the defendant’s father was a great help and co-operated with gardaí throughout the investigation.
Judge Helen Boyle said the main aggravating factor in the case was that the offences impacted the injured party’s mental health.
“She accepts you are very unwell. She would be grateful if you would stay away from her and get the medical help you need. In fact, she wishes you well.
“You have a long history with mental health services and have a diagnosis of bi-polar affective disorder. You have no previous convictions.
“Your parents worked very hard to get you into treatment in the UK. He will take you to the UK to a secure psychiatric facility.”
The judge imposed a sentence of two years, backdated to February and suspended from now on condition that he has no contact with the victim for the next 20 years and stays out of Ireland for 20 years. | https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-40910663.html | 2022-07-05T02:22:28Z | https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-40910663.html | false | 1 |

CENTERVILLE — No matter the record, the Centerville baseball team has been a tough team to beat in the month of July.
Hoping to make a magical run to the program's fifth state tournament appearance in the past six years, the Big Reds jumped out to an early lead and never looked back advancing to the Class 2A, District 13 semifinals with a 4-2 win on Saturday night over South Central Conference rival Chariton at Pat Daugherty Field.
Brody Tuttle got the postseason started in a big way, driving in two runs with a first-inning double to the fence in left field. Elijah Hampton added Centerville's third double of the opening inning, driving in Tuttle to give the Big Reds a 3-0 lead.
Tuttle, making the start on the mound for Centerville, bounced back after giving up a pair of runs in the second inning answering first at the plate by doubling to right with two outs in the bottom of the third before coming home on an RBI single by Conner Lancaster before shutting down the Chargers the rest of the way pitching a five-hit complete-game for the Big Reds.
"We talk all the time about getting on those one-game winning streaks," Centerville head baseball coach Ryan Hodges said. "There is no tomorrow at this point. You have to focus on getting that one win you need to advance, then flip the script and focus on the next game once you earn it."
Centerville (9-18) will next head to Bloomfield on Tuesday to face SCC co-champion Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont. Action in the Class 2A district semifinals gets underway at the Mustang Sports Complex in Bloomfield starting at 5 p.m.
Van Buren County 16, West Burlington 4
ELDON — Jackson Manning led reached base in all six trips to the plate for the Warriors, going 5-5 with two runs driven in and three runs scored in an impressive postseason-opening win over a Southeast Iowa Superconference south division rival on Saturday.
Manning earned the win on the mound, allowing just three hits and two unearned runs over four innings while striking out four batters. Bailey Roen and Lucas Fett added three hits, driving in two runs apiece while each player scored a pair of runs for the Warriors.
Van Buren County (11-15) heads to Mediapolis on Tuesday for the Class 2A, District 11 semifinals.
Moravia 18, Seymour 0
MORAVIA — After opening the postseason by scoring runs in the very first inning, Moravia brought the curtain down on their Class 1A district first round contest down before sunset pushing 14 runs across home plate in the second inning.
Matthew Seals led Moravia by driving in four runs, going 3-4 at the plate for the Mohawks with a double and three runs scored. Gage Hanes added three hits, including his own double, while scoring three times and driving in three runs.
Wyatt Throckmorton needed just 39 pitches to secure a one-hit, complete-game shutout. Throckmorton struck out nine batters over four innings while going 2-3 at the plate, driving in two runs and scoring three times.
Moravia (19-6) will host Southeast Warren on Tuesday in the Class 1A, District 12 semifinals.
Sigourney 21, Moulton-Udell 0
SIGOURNEY — Cade Molyneux capped a fantastic postseason opener for the Savages, hammering a three-run homer in the bottom of the third to close out a three-hit night as Sigourney put up eight runs in both the first and third innings against the winless Eagles.
Molyneux matched senior teammate Cade Streigle with three hits and five runs driven in. Molyneux scored twice while Streigle pitched a one-hit shutout over four innings, striking out 10 M-U batters while walking two.
Cameron Swarts collected the final hit of the season for the Eagles with a one-out double in the opening inning. Cole McKay drove in five runs for the Savages while scoring three times on just one hit.

Pekin 3, Lone Tree 2
PEKIN — Jackson Horras pitched out of danger in the fourth and fifth innings, allowing just two runs despite bases-loaded opportunities for the Lions as the Panthers advanced in a thrilling postseason battle of Southeast Iowa Superconference south division rivals.
Chase Stansberry homered off the top of the fence in the very first inning, giving Pekin an early lead. Colton Comstock drove in Cade Parmenter with the go-ahead run in the fifth before putting the game away in the seventh, stranding the potential tying and go-ahead runs on base to save the win for Horras who struck out 12 batters in 6 2/3 innings.
Pekin (10-12) heads to third-ranked New London (25-1) in the Class 1A, District 11 semifinals. The winner faces either Keota (17-5) or Burlington-Notre Dame (14-10) in Saturday's district 11 championship game. | https://www.ottumwacourier.com/sports/weekend-preps-big-reds-close-out-chariton-to-open-postseason/article_f895411e-fbeb-11ec-afcf-7bf11b0d1c93.html | 2022-07-05T02:23:51Z | https://www.ottumwacourier.com/sports/weekend-preps-big-reds-close-out-chariton-to-open-postseason/article_f895411e-fbeb-11ec-afcf-7bf11b0d1c93.html | true | 1 |

Cricket-New Zealand players sign five-year equal pay deal
The agreement will see women's players at both international and domestic level receive the same match fees as men across all formats and competitions. "This is the most important agreement in our sport, as it binds NZC, the major associations, and our players at the hip, and sets the foundation to fund, grow and develop cricket," said NZC Chief Executive David White.
New Zealand Cricket and the players' association signed a five-year deal on Tuesday that will see male and female cricketers receive equal pay. The agreement will see women's players at both international and domestic level receive the same match fees as men across all formats and competitions.
"This is the most important agreement in our sport, as it binds NZC, the major associations, and our players at the hip, and sets the foundation to fund, grow and develop cricket," said NZC Chief Executive David White. "It's been a collaborative yet very robust negotiation. Importantly, it represents a significant step forward as we continue to grow our investment in women's cricket."
Under the agreement, the number of women's domestic contracts will increase to 72 from 54 while the men will earn higher retainers due to the greater number of matches played, formats contested and time spent training and playing. "It's great for the international and domestic women players to be recognised in the same agreement, alongside the men," said White Ferns captain Sophie Devine.
"It's a massive step forward and will be a huge drawcard for young women and girls."

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) has setup a monitoring system to address complaints and bring service providers in its tax net.
The system not only allows the authority to collect taxes but also provides funds for development projects.
KPRA has with the help of the USAID has launched Aitemad-e-Khyber programme to spread awareness among public to pay taxes for the development of the province.
Aftab Ahmed, deputy director legal tax policy at the KPRA said that sales tax on service has been currently imposed on settled districts of the province. However, he said that currently merged areas were exempted from sales tax. Mr Aftab said that the authority will spend this system to the merged areas as well.
He said that the authority was running multi-platform awareness campaign to raise awareness regarding collection of sales tax from service providers.
Mr Aftab said that those not paying tax could face legal consequences as well.
Talking about KPRA structure, he said that it consisted of a service provider and customer while the KPRA acting as tax agent supervises the entire process.
He said that tax culture has yet to take roots in the province; however, the authority was doing its best to persuade all the service providers. Besides, he said that most of the restaurants were among the taxpayers and the authority has installed its Restaurant Invoice Management System or RIMS at these restaurants.
Mr Aftab said that the KPRA receives a copy of invoice issued from the system and later the invoices and ledgers are checked under the rules.
He asked customers to check the receipts from any services providers for the National Tax Numbers or NTN and in case of this number they can lodge a complaint with KPRA through mail or WhatsApp.
On the other hand, KPRA figures show that there were over 18,000 services providers registered with the authority as tax payers. The authority has only 200 taxpayers when it started its service; however, the number of tax payers was increasing with each passing day.
KPRA deputy collector Saud Khan said that monitoring system enabled the service providers to easily file their returns at the end of every month. He said that authority’s audit wing checked this entire process.
Besides, he said that there also existed an investigation system in the authority which keep checks on entire tax collection and service providers system. He said that they have also setup a grievance redressal mechanism as well to receive and address the complaints.۔
Mr Khan said that mostly dealt with the service providers including hotels, restaurants and doctors and the authority also received complaints from them.
He said that most of these service providers dealt in cash and even receipts also lack the NTN number.
In addition to this, he said that RIMS system also alerts them about deduction of more tax from customers and they take action in similar instances.
On the other hand, Mr Aftab said that KPRA had a very good team which has led to growing public confidence in it.
He said that they also try to include public feedback in the authority’s policies.
He said international level hotels pay up to 15 percent in sales tax. In addition to this, he said that about 200 dhabas across the province have also installed the RIMS system and charge about two percent sales tax.
Mr Aftab said that people can check the service on which the sales tax was applied from the KPRA website.
He said that registration of a business in a tax net made it easier for the authority to determine the businesses and individuals income profile and taxes they are paying to other departments.
In addition to this, he said that authority was striving to persuade the locals to pay their due share of taxes for the betterment of the province.
However, he added that the authorities could even seal a business not paying the sales tax. | https://tnnenglish.com/kpra-has-put-in-place-robust-monitoring-system-to-address-complaints/ | 2022-07-05T03:03:46Z | https://tnnenglish.com/kpra-has-put-in-place-robust-monitoring-system-to-address-complaints/ | false | 1 |
ATLANTA (AP)The Atlanta Braves paid tribute to their longtime public address announcer, Casey Motter, on Monday night in a ceremony before the team’s first home game since his death last week.
Following a video tribute to Motter, a moment of silence was observed in his memory before the game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Motter, 53, died last Wednesday. He had been the Braves’ public address announcer since 2007 and worked through the team’s previous homestand, which ended on June 26.
Motter became known as the Voice of Truist Park, which opened as the team’s suburban home in 2017 following a move from Turner Field in downtown Atlanta. He was known for his introductory ”Hello baseball fans,” delivered in his booming voice, before each game.
Sam Franco, who has worked as the public address announcer for some University of Georgia athletics events, handled duties for Monday night. Franco will continue to serve as the public address announcer through the 10-game homestand.
Beginning on Tuesday night, the Braves will use some of Motter’s recorded greetings to fans and other announcements at home games the remainder of the season.
Motter grew up in Cobb County, the home of Truist Park. A funeral will be held on Wednesday in his hometown of Smyrna, Georgia.
The cause of Motter’s death has not been made public.

Ghana needs to strengthen its domestic revenue mobilization, Oppong Nkrumah
Ghana in talks with IMF
IMF delegation to arrive in Ghana on July 6
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, has disclosed that the International Monetary Fund may dispense about US$2 billion to Ghana after deliberations have been concluded.
According to him, Ghana’s quota and macroeconomic data are likely to help the country receive such funding from the Bretton Woods institution.
He noted that this will help in shoring up the country’s reserves and help service the country’s debts.
Speaking in a JoyNews interview, Oppong-Nkrumah said the Central Bank, for instance, may need $3 billion to boost its buffer.
“Already, you recall that the finance minister initially indicated that there were arrangements to get about $2 billion, out of which there is $1 billion available. Parliament has to approve for us to receive so that the cedi does not depreciate further."
“We have a shore up of our reserves to be able to meet the liquidity and debt servicing obligations even as our domestic measures will get better. You have the window to start talking to the Fund."
The Minister added, “Today [Sunday, July 3], I saw a document that said looking at Ghana’s quota and our macroeconomic data, we could get anything, maybe around $2 billion to help shore up what we are looking for.”
The minister notes that even though Ghana has turned to the IMF for a bailout, domestic revenue mobilization still remains key.
“We need to rally round and draw from various sources – capital market, the Fund, domestic resource mobilization.”
“Even when you borrow, you are going to serve it with domestic resource mobilization so the earlier we confront it, the better as well as the other challenges.”
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has ordered the finance minister to begin formal engagements with the International Monetary Fund on financing for a government program.
This was disclosed by the Information Ministry on Friday, July 1, 2022.
Meanwhile, a team from the International Monetary Fund is expected to arrive in Ghana on Wednesday, July 6, 2022, to commence negotiations with the Government of Ghana on the modalities for a package to support Ghana’s economy.

(3rd LD) S. Korea's inflation at 24-year high in June; sharp rate hike in offing
(ATTN: ADDS more info in paras 10, 22-23)
By Kim Soo-yeon
SEOUL, July 5 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's consumer prices rose at the fastest clip in nearly 24 years in June due mainly to soaring energy costs, data showed Tuesday, fanning expectations of a sharp rate hike this month.
Consumer prices soared 6 percent last month from a year earlier, accelerating from a 5.4 percent on-year spike in May, according to the data from Statistics Korea.
It marked the sharpest inflation rate since a 6.8 percent jump in November 1998, when South Korea was in the midst of the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis.
Consumer prices rose above 2 percent -- the central bank's inflation target over the medium term -- for the 15th straight month in June.
South Korea faces growing inflationary pressure, as crude oil and other commodity prices rose due to the protracted war between Russia and Ukraine, and global supply disruptions. Demand-pull inflation has also increased amid the economic recovery.
The statistics agency said inflation is expected to stay in the 6 percent range for the time being and a possibility of 7 percent cannot be excluded at one point.
"If the current trend continues, annual inflation could exceed the 4.7 percent forecast" by the finance ministry, Eo Woon-sun, a senior Statistics Korea official, told reporters.
Mounting inflationary pressure lent support to the prospect that the Bank of Korea (BOK) will further hike the policy rate this month.
Some experts forecast the BOK to conduct an unprecedented "big-step" rate increase of 50 basis points at the July 13 policy meeting to tame inflation.
Last week, a high-ranking BOK official told Yonhap that the possibility of a big-step rate hike will increase should consumer prices grow 6 percent or higher.
The BOK has hiked the key interest rate five times -- all by a quarter percentage point at a time -- since August last year to 1.75 percent.
The June inflation was mostly driven by rising prices of petroleum products and personal services.
Last month, prices of petroleum products jumped 39.6 percent on-year due to high fuel costs. South Korea depends mainly on imports for its energy needs.
A recovery in demand and the lifting of major virus curbs also pushed up prices of personal services, which climbed 5.8 percent. The costs of dining out also soared 8 percent, the most in nearly 30 years.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and oil prices, climbed 3.9 percent on-year last month, the sharpest gain since February 2009.
In June, prices of daily necessities -- 141 items closely related to people's daily lives, such as food, clothing and housing -- spiked 7.4 percent on-year, the highest growth since November 1998.
The government rolled out a set of measures to stabilize consumer prices, including an additional cut in fuel taxes in a bid to ease the burden from high energy prices.
In July, the country expanded fuel tax cuts to a legal cap of 37 percent from the previous 30 percent in a measure to be effective until the end of this year.
But the latest hikes in electricity rates and natural gas prices are feared to stoke inflation. Despite inflation concerns, the government raised electricity rates for the third quarter as the state-run power firm suffered a widening loss due to high energy costs.
The South Korean currency's sharp weakness could add upward pressure on inflation as it boosts import prices. The won has fallen more than 8 percent against the U.S. dollar so far this year amid the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hikes.
South Korea has faced the risk of stagflation, a mix of slowing growth and high inflation, due to heightened external economic uncertainty.
The BOK held an anti-inflation meeting Tuesday and predicted that consumer prices will grow at a fast clip "for the time being" due to supply disruptions, increasing demand amid eased social distancing rules and recent utility price hikes.
The central bank also underscored the importance of keeping a lid on rising inflation expectations and preventing inflation from staying high through the so-called wage-price feedback.
In June, the finance ministry sharply raised its 2022 inflation outlook to a 14-year high of 4.7 percent, while lowering its economic growth estimate to 2.6 percent.
The BOK put its 2022 growth forecast at 2.7 percent and expected consumer prices to rise 4.5 percent this year.
Global credit appraiser S&P Global Ratings on Monday forecast South Korea's inflation to jump 5 percent in 2022.

Which slow cookers are best?
A slow cooker can be a convenient, useful addition to your kitchen. With some simple prep work, all you have to do is toss in the ingredients before letting the slow cooker do its thing for hours at a time, filling your house with the aromas of a delicious meal. The best slow cookers can maintain a high cooking temperature for long periods while also enabling cooking techniques such as sauteing and steaming.
For a high-end slow cooker that will also look great on your dinner table, consider the All-Clad Slow Cooker.
What to know before you buy a slow cooker
Temperature
It is essential that a slow cooker accurately maintains temperature while cooking. Slow cookers work by braising foods, simmering them over time at a constant temperature and allowing heat to transfer evenly throughout. This makes a slow cooker ideal for making recipes that call for soft vegetables and rich, succulent meats. It is best if a slow cooker’s temperature does not rise above 180 degrees so that it does not overcook foods such as meats.
Removable lining material
Depending on the slow cooker, the insertable pot inside may be made of metal, ceramic or porcelain. These materials conduct heat well, but note that both ceramic and porcelain linings will be more susceptible to damage if dropped and are heavier than metal linings.
“Keep warm” function
The keep-warm function on a slow cooker allows food to continue to simmer after cooking. This function ensures that the food does not go cold without overcooking it, and it is an essential aspect of any slow cooker.
What to look for in a quality slow cooker
Capacity
Many slow cookers range in sizes between 1.5 to 8.5 quarts. When deciding on size, consider what meals you intend to make with your slow cooker. For most households, a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker would be ideal. However, if you plan on entertaining guests for functions or parties, get a larger slow cooker or a casserole dish.
Shape
Most slow cookers will be round or oval-shaped. This does not affect the cooking process too much, but you might prefer one shape over the other depending on the types of dishes you wish to prepare. For stews and soups, circular slow cookers work perfectly, but certain cuts of meat might fit better in an oval-shaped slow cooker.
Controls
Some slow cookers have a dial or knob that is adjusted to set temperature and cooking time for your meal. However, other slow cookers come with complete LED displays with controls for determining temperature, type of cooking and timers.
How much you can expect to spend on a slow cooker
Basic slow cookers can cost anywhere between $15-$50. Higher-end, programmable slow cookers with multiple cooking modes and other features can cost anywhere between $50-$150.
Slow cooker FAQ
Can slow cookers be used when I’m not home?
A. Most slow cookers can continue to cook while being left unattended, making them great for multitasking. However, it is still recommended that users keep an eye on their slow cooker.
How do I clean a slow cooker?
A. Most slow cookers have inserts that can be removed from the base to wash. Some are dishwasher-safe, while others should be washed by hand.

S. Korean battery makers to post mixed Q2 results amid higher raw materials costs, auto chip issue
SEOUL, July 5 (Yonhap) -- South Korean battery makers are expected to show mixed quarterly results in the second quarter, with Samsung SDI Co. likely to be the only one with profit growth, as rising raw materials costs and auto chip shortages continue to weigh down on their profitability.
Samsung SDI is estimated to have posted a 37.8 percent on-year increase in operating profit to 406.9 billion won (US$313.8 million) in the second quarter, according to the market consensus by local brokerage houses in a survey compiled by Yonhap Infomax, the financial news arm of Yonhap News Agency.
"In particular, the profitability will likely have improved from the first quarter due to the sales growth in high value-added products," Shin Seok-hwan, a Daishin Securities analyst said, referring to SDI's flagship Gen5 battery.
LG Energy Solution Ltd., the world's second-largest player, is expected to have generated 221.6 billion won in operating income, down 69.4 percent from a year earlier.
Analysts said the shipments of auto batteries likely came below expectations amid the semiconductor shortages for automobiles and a sharp rise in raw material prices.
SK On Co., the battery-making unit of refiner SK Innovation Co., is likely to remain in the red, with operating losses estimated at about 273.2 billion won, compared with an operating profit of over 500 billion won the previous year. SK On logged an operating loss of 273.4 billion won in the previous quarter.
The losses, however, largely come from one-off costs, as SK On has been aggressive in foreign expansion and facility investment, and the company could make a turnaround in the early quarters of next year, according to analysts.

Heard seeks to throw out verdict in Depp defamation trial
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.

DENVER — Thanks to modern medicine, the prognosis for people with cystic fibrosis has drastically improved, in many ways.
Andrea Olsen, a C.F. patient from Colorado Springs, recently had a lifelong dream fulfilled when a relatively-new drug enabled her to be able to welcome her beautiful daughter into the world, Willow.
Her OBGYN, Dr. Katie Rustici, delivered St. Joseph Hospital's first baby from a person with C.F. five years ago. Now, Olsen's life has found a new purpose that she never thought was possible.
"I didn't think it would ever become a reality. It became a reality after the 12th pregnancy test that said 'Positive,'" said Olsen, while sitting at a park with Willow. "I am definitely grateful for everything: for being here, for Willow, for all of it."

The final and the 14th round of the 2022 Candidates was played on Monday night and Ian Nepomniachtchi win the tournament without a single loss. All four games were calm, the positions even and it seemed as if we were heading for a day of draws. Instead, there was just one draw.
According to a FIDE release, “In terms of results, today’s round did not matter for Ian Nepomniachtchi, who secured victory in the event following a draw in round 13. However, this game was psychologically important for him: Nepomniachtchi didn’t want a repeat of the previous Candidates, which he also won with a round to spare but then lost the final game which gave a bitter aftertaste to his great success.”
Playing the Petrov, Nepomniachtchi was under pressure from Jan-Krzysztof Duda who seemed much more relaxed and comfortable in his bearing compared to how he had played in the rest of the tournament. All the time the game was even. Duda was looking for chances but Nepomniachtchi always responded adequately and confidently, bringing the game to a draw without much drama.
Finishing the Candidates in the first place and without a single defeat is a strong statement for Nepomniachtchi who is vying for the title of world champion. Nepomniachtchi will take on champion Magnus Carlsen for the world title in 2023 now.
Best of Express Premium
The 31-year-old needed half a point to confirm his place as Carlsen’s challenger and achieved it by drawing with Hungarian Richard Rapport on Sunday to seal his second straight Candidates title.
Nepomniachtchi competed under a neutral flag in Madrid after sanctions were imposed on Russian players for their country’s invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a ‘special operation’.
His meeting with Carlsen, who has lifted the last five world titles, is far from a done deal as the Norwegian said in December that he was unsure if he would defend his championship, citing a lack of motivation.
In such a scenario, Nepomniachtchi would take on the player who finishes runner-up at the Candidates, a position held by American Hikaru Nakamura heading into the final round.
FINAL STANDINGS:
1 Nepomniachtchi, Ian 9½/14 2766
2 Ding, Liren 8/14 2806
3 Radjabov, Teimour 7½/14 2753
4 Nakamura, Hikaru 7½/14 2760

Director James Cameron has come forward in an interview to compare his upcoming Avatar sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings.
In the interview, the director said he wants to "tell a bigger story" and leave an impact like J.R.R. Tolkien's novel series and Peter Jackson's movies.
"What I said to the Fox regime at the time was, 'I'll do it, but we've got to play a larger game here. I don't want to just do a movie and do a movie and do a movie. I want to tell a bigger story," said Cameron.
"I said, 'Imagine a series of novels like The Lord of the Rings existed, and we're adapting them.' Now, that was great in theory, but then I had to go create the frickin' novels from which to adapt it."
Similar to Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, Cameron filmed the Avatar sequels back to back. After the release of The Way of Water, the third film is expected to debut in December 2024. The fourth and fifth films will follow every two years. Getting to that agreement was not easy for Cameron.
"I had to think long and hard whether I even wanted to make another Avatar film, because it was kind of ours to lose," explained the director.
"When you've done something that's been that transcendent in terms of success, do you really want to go try and do that again? There's a lot of pressure on it. I thought about it for a good two years before we finally made a deal."
The first Avatar movie was praised for its detailed world-building — something Lord of the Rings is famously known for too. In the upcoming sequel, Cameron will expand the world even further by showing the different cultures and ecosystems present in Pandora.
First look photos of Kate Winslet and Sigourney Weaver, as well as the recently revealed photo of Sam Worthington's Jake Sully stroking a whale-like creature, offer a glimpse of what Cameron is bringing to the table in The Way of Water. Of course, the first trailer is also a sneak peek into the incredible CGI viewers can look forward to.
Disney's official synopsis for the long-awaited sequel reads:
"Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water begins to tell the story of the Sully family, the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive and the tragedies they endure."
Avatar: The Way of Water will be released exclusively in theatres on Dec 16, 2022.

What is wrong with the picture on the front page (6/27/2022) paper. Granted that photo was taken in 2015.
Here we show an instructor showing a new gun owner how to fire her weapon safely.
Notice the green grass covered hill in the background. This hill is called a "berm" and is designed to stop bullets from impacting downrange in somebody's backyard.
The instructor is not being safe and is teaching the "new" shooter bad habits.
The top target is placed so that the bullseye is "over the berm" and if fired at, the bullet would fly over the berm and land ?????.? The second and third targets are still placed too high for an inexperienced shooter.
All targets should be placed low so as to preclude and "wild" rounds".
Again, the instructor was wrong. Remember...safety first!

AUSTIN, Tex. – While many Americans get ready to celebrate the Fourth of July often with fireworks, veterans groups are reminding folks that the sounds can be triggering for veterans who suffer from PTSD.
Like many veterans, Jodie Revils wasn’t the same person when he got back from his tour in Iraq.
“Your brain has changed to the point where you can’t just stroll down the road and not think about these things,” said Revils.
Doctors diagnosed him with PTSD and head trauma. The Department of Veterans Affairs said up to 20% of other vets who served in Iraq and Afghanistan also came home with PTSD.
“I tried pretty much everything, they had to offer. I actually decided to take my own life,” said Revils.
Until he heard of “K9s For Warriors.” Revils got his service dog, Donna, at no charge, thanks to “K9s for Warriors.”
Since 2011, the group has been pairing up trained dogs with veterans to help relieve their symptoms of PTSD.
Stay updated with the latest news, weather, and sports by downloading the WGNO app on the Apple or Google Play store and subscribing to the WGNO newsletter.
“I have seen some amazing transformations. The dog really just gives a person something to refocus on, if they started to have those, you know, that anxiety,” said K9 for Warriors COO Jason Snodgrass.
K9s for Warriors teach the dogs basic commands, but can also do things like training the dog to wake up their owner before a PTSD nightmare starts.

Bernie Ecclestone made the headlines back in 2009 due to his comments on women and praising of Adolf Hitler.
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone’s views always make the headlines for the wrong reasons despite being out of the F1 world since 2017.
Recently, he was in limelight after his defensive comments on Russian President Vladimir Putin and called him a first-class person. Not only that, Ecclestone criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for failing to stop the war against Russia.
However, back in 2009, the former F1 CEO managed to praise Adolf Hitler and criticized women for their driving abilities in F1.

Bernie Ecclestone praises Adolf Hitler’s leadership
Ecclestone left the position of Formula One CEO in 2017 after Liberty Media bought the motorsport. However, he still makes the news one day or the other due to his controversial remarks.
The Former F1 CEO was part of a conference in London back in 2009. He praised Adolf Hitler’s leadership methods in a bizarre interview.
Ecclestone explained that it was a terrible thing to say on the occasion but the Nazi Leader was able to achieve his mission. He stated: “He [Hitler] was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done.”
‘I’d still take a bullet for him.’

Bernie Ecclestone’s comments on a woman’s ability to drive an F1 car
The British business magnate sparked controversy regarding his views about women. He compared the male-dominated F1 world to the capabilities of a woman.
He stated: “I don’t know whether a woman would physically be able to drive an F1 car quickly. Moreover, they wouldn’t be taken seriously.”
Much to his surprise, the Formula W series is helping upcoming female drivers make a name for themselves. Moreover, it provides an equal opportunity for women and has been on a rise since 2019.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- July 4th is the time to be proud to be Americans, and six Taiwan startups were invited by SelectUSA Investment Summit to consider investing in the U.S. Followed by the summit, they are visiting the Bay Area during the Independent Day weekend to exchange ideas with Silicon Valley startups, including startups that were founded by notable ex Meta (formally Facebook) and Tesla leads, and Tim Draper, the legendary venture capitalist.
Six startup teams were selected by Taiwan government's Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs via a program, TREE, to represent the emerging technology of the country at the SelectUSA Investment Summit "Taiwan Deep Tech". Among the startups, two received recognition by SelectUSA: Robotic company Mechavision, which builds a layer of fast-responsive tactile skin to industrial robots to ensure that the safety requirements of human-robot collaboration are met, is one of the global top 10 tech startups. Biomedical company BELX, which develops plant-based drugs for the treatment of solid tumors, viral infectious diseases and aging-related chronic diseases, is selected into the Global Women in Tech Mentorship Network Project (SGWIT).
"Taiwan government is very supportive of tech innovation, especially those deep tech startups from research institutions," said Dr. Chyou-Huey Chiou, Director General of the DoIT. He referenced that Taiwan was ranked on the top of the Innovation Capability category in the World Economic Forum (WEF) global competitiveness assessment. He also mentioned that the U.S. provides great growing opportunities for startups. "That's why we are bringing startups to attend SelectUSA and visit Silicon Valley's startups."
After the summit, those startups were invited by the U.S. government (American Institute in Taiwan and San Francisco City) to visit the Bay Area to exchange ideas with local innovative startups. U.S. startup founders were impressed by technical capabilities of Taiwan startups: Atayalan Technology offers enterprises with optimized 5G private network management software technology. Adirtek provides a big data analytic Internet of Things technology to ensure quality products for semiconductor manufacturers. ELECLEAN applies electro-chemical technology to transform water into reactive oxygen species by using nano-catalysts and won World Health Organization certification with its patented, chemical-free self-cleaning technology.
Those six startups also visited Bay Area investors, including Tim Draper and Chih-Kai Cheng, Chair of B Current Impact Investment. Draper used the example that he invests in one of the six startups, Taiwan Cybersecurity Foundry, to illustrate that he invests in companies that are ahead of the industry. Taiwan Cybersecurity Foundry provides information security monitoring services for companies in the supply chain, medical, e-commerce and high-tech manufacturing sectors. Cheng said that B Current invests in sustainability startups, and he is excited to see those amazing Taiwan and U.S. startups that are bringing a positive impact to the environment.
Startups will conclude the trip this coming week but interested VC, research institutions and corporations can contact the TREE program to partner with those startups. Contact: Erica Lin at erica.lin@itri.org.tw

When it comes to the year’s biggest red carpets, one certain to never disappoint in the beauty stakes is the Met Gala's. This year’s theme - Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology - provided a bevy of hair and makeup ideas and an endless pool of inspiration we can’t wait to dive into. From bold to beautiful, classic to the more extreme, here are the looks we can’t get enough of.
The Met Gala is always a winner when it comes to beauty inspiration, but which looks turned heads this year? Here are our top picks…
The trend: Gothic lips
Burgundy was the new crimson and wine was the new ruby, with the darkest of pouts left doing the talking thanks to the likes of Poppy Delevingne's, Taylor Swift's, Miranda Kerr's and Rachel McAdams' glamourous takes on gothic lips.
Kendall Jenner
The trend: The 'Power Pony'
In terms of updos, the ‘Power Pony’ was the hairstyle of choice of many an A-lister from Kendall to Selena Gomez to Elle Fanning. Described as, ‘sleek and simple’ by Jenner’s hair stylist Tokyo Stylez, the style perfectly complemented her pared back makeup and Versace laser-cut gown - and accentuated her incredible bone structure too.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
The trend: Slicked back updos
Rosie-Huntington-Whiteley hardly ever puts a foot wrong on the red carpet and the Met Gala was no exception. Her striking updo certainly turned heads, joining the likes of Karlie Kloss and Adriana Lima in providing us with the perfect hair inspiration as we approach wedding season. “As soon I saw the stunning Ralph Lauren gown I knew the hair needed to be simple, clean and elegant – old Hollywood with a modern twist,” said her hair stylist Christian Wood for Moroccanoil. It was an elegantly futuristic update of a classic if you ask us.
Jourdan Dunn
The trend: Silver eyes
Giving eyes a theme-appropriate techy update, red carpet eyeshadows were noticeably more molten and multi-dimensional thanks to the ever-stylish trio of Jourdan Dunn, Olivia Wilde and Rita Ora. Forgoing the traditional smokey eye for a modern interpretation instead, this new version was both fresh and futuristic in equal measure.
Sienna Miller
The trend: Nude lips
Last night’s beauty looks were a tale of extremes and a pair of perfectly polished nude lips provided the ideal canvas for the A-list’s creative streak to shine through when it came to eyes, hair and tailoring. Sienna Miller’s prestine pout exemplified the trend to a T where Burberry Makeup Artistic Consultant Wendy Rowe’s masterful application of Burberry Lip Definer in Nude No.01 , £18.50, and new Burberry Full Kisses in Nude Blush No.501 made for the most effective of dynamic duos.
Beyoncé
The trend: Super smokey eyes
Complementing the trend for nude lips perfectly, the smokiest of eyes was the eye look of choice chosen to act as the most dramatic of companions for it. Queen B’s eye-catching rendition was one of our favourites, with Emma Watson, Emma Stone and Joan Smalls also providing masterclasses in creating the most night time appropriate of beauty balancing acts.
Karlie Kloss
The trend: Sexy backs
...specifically, lower backs. Karlie Kloss, Taylor Swift and Kendall Jenner were all spotted sporting the trend to make it the body part that’s garnered most exposure in the post Met Gala aftermath in more ways than one...

After a statement win against Christian Hammer last weekend, Joe Joyce expressed his desire to face Tyson Fury or the winner of the August 20th rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.
‘Juggernaut’ hammered Hammer in their heavyweight clash over the weekend, earning a fourth-round TKO victory at the iconic Wembley Arena in London, England. The win allowed Joyce to retain his WBO international and WBC silver heavyweight titles and add his name onto the list of elite heavyweights in the world.
With championships currently being held by Fury (WBC) and Usyk (IBF/WBA/WBO), Joyce (14-0, 13 KOs) knows he has to wait a little longer until the undisputed match gets done between Fury and the winner of Joshua vs. Usyk 2. However, the Brit claimed if they give him a shot at one or more of those belts, he’s ready to take any of them.
Speaking to talkSPORT Boxing, Joyce said:
“I’ll have all of them… Obviously, there’s a couple of fights that need to happen with the undisputed, but them titles are available for me to capture early next year... I’m at the top of the rankings, edging closer like in the overall rankings. In just a couple of more fights, I’ll be heavyweight champion of the world, I believe.”
He went on to say:
“I’m ready now. If the opportunity comes about, then I’m ready. I can raise my game and fight against whoever. I’ve had enough experience now to know I’m ready.”
Watch takSPORT Boxing's full interview with Joe Joyce:
Joyce’s eagerness to immediately cash in on his world title shot is understandable, considering that at 36 years old, he’s older that top heavyweights Fury, Joshua, and Usyk. Although he only turned professional five years ago, he will certainly bank on his extensive amateur experience in climbing the heavyweight world ladder.
Joe Joyce to return in September
Shortly after defeating Christian Hammer, Joe Joyce’s promoter Frank Warren revealed the date of the Olympian’s next bout.
In a tweet, Warren said:
“The next date for @JoeJoyceBoxing is locked in for September 24th. First, he watches the @usykaa v @anthonyjoshua rematch with heavy interest!”
It remains to be seen who ‘Juggernaut’ will be facing next. Considering his history with the current heavyweight kings, it would be very interesting to see him face off with either Fury, Joshua, or Usyk in the near furture.
In the amateur ranks, Usyk defeated Joyce on points in the World Series of Boxing. Joshua and Joyce, meanwhile, trained against each other and sparred on numerous occasions. Fury was also a former sparring partner for Joyce. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pro-boxing/news-joe-joyce-ready-tyson-fury-oleksandr-usyk-anthony-joshua | 2022-07-05T04:39:59Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pro-boxing/news-joe-joyce-ready-tyson-fury-oleksandr-usyk-anthony-joshua | false | 1 |
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A federal judge on Monday ruled in favor of three major U.S. drug distributors in a landmark lawsuit that accused them of causing a health crisis by distributing 81 million pills over eight years in one West Virginia county ravaged by opioid addiction.
The verdict came nearly a year after closing arguments in a bench trial in the lawsuit filed by Cabell County and the city of Huntington against AmerisourceBergen Drug Co., Cardinal Health Inc. and McKesson Corp.
"The opioid crisis has taken a considerable toll on the citizens of Cabell County and the City of Huntington. And while there is a natural tendency to assign blame in such cases, they must be decided not based on sympathy, but on the facts and the law," U.S. District Judge David Faber wrote in the 184-page ruling. "In view of the court's findings and conclusions, the court finds that judgment should be entered in defendants' favor."
Cabell County attorney Paul Farrell had argued the distributors should be held responsible for sending a "tsunami" of prescription pain pills into the community and that the defendants' conduct was unreasonable, reckless and disregarded the public's health and safety in an area ravaged by opioid addiction.
The companies blamed an increase in prescriptions written by doctors along with poor communication and pill quotas set by federal agents.
While the lawsuit alleged the distributors created a public nuisance, Faber said West Virginia's Supreme Court has only applied public nuisance law in the context of conduct that interferes with public property or resources. He said to extend the law to cover the marketing and sale of opioids "is inconsistent with the history and traditional notions of nuisance."
Faber noted that the plaintiffs offered no evidence that the defendants distributed controlled substances to any entity that didn't hold a proper registration from the Drug Enforcement Agency or the state Board of Pharmacy. The defendants also had suspicious monitoring systems in place as required by the Controlled Substances Act, he said.
"Plaintiffs failed to show that the volume of prescription opioids distributed in Cabell/Huntington was because of unreasonable conduct on the part of defendants," Faber wrote.
In a statement, Cardinal Health said the judge's ruling "recognizes what we demonstrated in court, which is that we do not manufacture, market, or prescribe prescription medications but instead only provide a secure channel to deliver medications of all kinds from manufacturers to our thousands of hospital and pharmacy customers that dispense them to their patients based on doctor-ordered prescriptions.
"As we continue to fulfill our limited role in the pharmaceutical supply chain, we operate a constantly adaptive and rigorous system to combat controlled substance diversion and remain committed to being part of the solution to the opioid crisis."
Attorneys for the plaintiffs said they were "deeply disappointed" in the ruling.
"We felt the evidence that emerged from witness statements, company documents, and extensive datasets showed these defendants were responsible for creating and overseeing the infrastructure that flooded West Virginia with opioids. Outcome aside, our appreciation goes out to the first responders, public officials, treatment professionals, researchers, and many others who gave their testimony to bring the truth to light."
Huntington Mayor Steve Williams said the ruling was "a blow to our city and community, but we remain resilient even in the face of adversity.
"The citizens of our city and county should not have to bear the principal responsibility of ensuring that an epidemic of this magnitude never occurs again."
The plaintiffs had sought more than $2.5 billion that would have gone toward abatement efforts. The goal of the 15-year abatement plan would have been to reduce overdoses, overdose deaths and the number of people with opioid use disorder.
Last year in Cabell County, an Ohio River county of 93,000 residents, there were 1,067 emergency responses to suspected overdoses — significantly higher than each of the previous three years — with at least 158 deaths. So far this year, suspected overdoses have prompted at least 358 responses and 465 emergency room visits, according to preliminary data from the state Department of Health and Human Resources' Office of Drug Control Policy.
The U.S. addiction crisis was inflamed by the COVID-19 pandemic with drug overdose deaths surpassing 100,000 in the 12-month period ending in April 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's the highest number of overdose deaths ever recorded in a year.
The Cabell-Huntington lawsuit was the first time allegations involving opioid distribution ended up at federal trial. The result could have huge effects on similar lawsuits. Some have resulted in multimillion-dollar settlements, including a tentative $161.5 million settlement reached in May by the state of West Virginia with Teva Pharmaceuticals Inc., AbbVie's Allergan and their family of companies.
In all, more than 3,000 lawsuits have been filed by state and local governments, Native American tribes, unions, hospitals and other entities in state and federal courts over the toll of opioids. Most allege that either drug makers, distribution companies or pharmacies created a public nuisance in a crisis that's been linked to the deaths of 500,000 Americans over the past two decades.
In separate, similar lawsuits, the state of West Virginia reached a $37 million settlement with McKesson in 2019, and $20 million with Cardinal Health and $16 million with AmerisourceBergen in 2017.

Government policy think tank NITI Aayog has released a compendium of Ayush-based practices from states and union territories for containing and managing the COVID-19 outbreak, an official statement said.
Releasing the compendium, NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Suman Bery said it is critical to communicate the learnings from the testing times during the COVID-19 outbreak about how Ayush practices implemented at national and state level benefited people.
The compendium provides information focused on practices adopted by various states and UTs of India for strengthening the country's fight against COVID-19, using Ayush's resources and interventions, Bery added.
Also, speaking at the occasion, NITI Aayog member V K Paul said he is hopeful that practices documented in this compendium will be useful to address any future surge of the pandemic and also serve as a model of an integrative approach to health action.
According to the statement, in preparing the compendium of Ayush-based practices, NITI Aayog reached out to all state governments and administrations of union territories, requesting them to share Ayush practices they have undertaken for Covid-19 mitigation and management.
The report indicates that traditional healthcare systems in the country to be strengthened further, the statement said, adding that the integration of evidence-based Ayush services with the modern system has the potential to significantly strengthen India's healthcare system. | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/general-news/niti-aayog-releases-compendium-of-ayush-practices-to-manage-covid-19-articleshow.html | 2022-07-05T04:42:36Z | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/general-news/niti-aayog-releases-compendium-of-ayush-practices-to-manage-covid-19-articleshow.html | false | 11 |

Oxford University takes aim at future pandemic threats
The Pandemic Sciences Institute joins organisations such as the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and the World Health Organization’s pandemic intelligence hub in a broader effort to respond to outbreaks and prevent them from exploding into global emergencies.
The University of Oxford, one of the first to cross the finish line with a Covid-19 vaccine, is shifting its focus to health threats that could trigger the next pandemic.
Oxford’s Pandemic Sciences Institute, launched on Tuesday, aims to reduce the risks posed by infectious diseases by improving data collection, strengthening surveillance and helping to create vaccines and other countermeasures. Oxford said the organisation will seek to learn from the response to Covid and take advantage of the university’s research and global partnerships. But it will have to bring in additional funds to carry out its mission.
“We need to fill the gaps, and we need to identify the bottlenecks and remove them,” Sarah Gilbert, the Oxford scientist who led the development of the Covid shot, said in an interview. “We want to capitalise on that and bring it together so that we don’t find ourselves with the same lack of preparedness we had in 2020.”
The institute, which hoped to attract more than £500-million (R9,88-billion) in investment when it was unveiled last year, has so far raised about £100-million, she said. Oxford’s initiative joins organisations such as the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and the World Health Organization’s pandemic intelligence hub in a broader effort to respond to outbreaks and prevent them from exploding into global emergencies.
One priority is overcoming a lack of larger-scale vaccine manufacturing capacity globally, Gilbert said. Oxford’s Covid vaccine partner, AstraZeneca Plc, transferred technology to multiple sites around the world, but that still takes time, she said. In the future, every continent, especially Africa, and every region will need to be able to produce big quantities of vaccines, she said.
“If you look back, it was absolutely phenomenal and it was really fast, but it would have been so much better if we didn’t have to do that after we knew about the outbreak,” she said. “We should have that network maintained so that if we had to do this again for a different disease we could immediately activate that manufacturing network and not have the delays that we had in 2020.”
The Oxford group is led by Peter Horby, with Miles Carroll, Michael Parker and other professors among other members of the team. The goal is to move “as fast as possible, but there’s still a way to go to complete our fund-raising”, Gilbert said. BM

Qatar’s ‘majlis’ gamers target eSports big leagues
Doha – World Cup host Qatar doesn’t just have its sights set on football — it also hopes to harness its people’s gaming skills as it launches into the burgeoning eSports sector.
A digital army is at the ready in the gas-rich emirate, where many “majlis” rooms — communal gathering places attached to homes — have long doubled as video game hubs for groups of friends, mostly young men.
“Our majlises have a lot of equipment,” enthused Ibrahim Samha, who said the spaces are often kitted out with consoles for five or six players who lounge on cushions while engaging in virtual worlds and battles.
Samha is head of eSports projects at Virtuocity, Qatar’s first dedicated gaming complex which was set up in 2019 and, after a Covid pandemic break, hosted its first major tournament in March.
“I guess that is where it all starts,” Samha said. “When you play in these majlises, you play in a very casual and fun way.
“But if you want to take it to the professional level and play competitively against other teams and other players, you would want to participate in eSport events, and I guess this is where Virtuocity comes in.”
Virtuocity, part of Qatar’s broad push to diversify its economy away from energy by 2030, aims for a slice of the fast-growing global eSports market whose annual revenues are estimated at more than $1 billion.
Three months ago it hosted the opening round of the Smash World Tour, the championship of Nintendo’s crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros, with 5,000 Qatari rial ($1,300) in prize money for the winner.
An eSports federation was created in late 2021 and gaming has even been integrated into the curriculum of Qatar’s International School of London to steel students as they venture forth into the 21st century’s digital realms.
– ‘A serious thing’ –
Ahmed Al Meghessib, at age 24, is already an eSports veteran. He first represented Qatar in 2017 in the football game FIFA and took the national team to 10th place in the world rankings early last year.
“Basically they didn’t have a big interest at first,” he recalls about Qatari society’s take on eSports in years past, before leaders awoke to the huge viewership and potential revenues on offer.
“It’s not as hard as before. People understand now that eSport is a serious thing.”
Khalifa Al Haroon — a businessman and influencer who goes by “Mr. Q” on social media — is another early eSports supporter in Qatar who dares to dream big.
He argued Qatar needs to build more clubs and eLeagues, host more tournaments and attract investment and studios that will create original content.
“My goal is to see Qatar be a leader in the Middle East, of course a world leader too, when it comes to gaming,” he told AFP.
“I want to see the biggest tournaments happen here and I want people to want to come in and build their companies and their teams out of Qatar too.”
– ‘Soft power’ –
Haroon’s hopes are shared by Jack AlBlushi, 35, who organises tournaments of PUBG: Battlegrounds, a combat survival game set on an island.
“We have built a base already,” he said. “It’s online and everything. But I need companies to realise that we people are working hard, making sure that things are going in the perfect direction.”
A major supporter has been cellphone company Ooredoo, which sponsored a FIFA game tournament in May with $25,000 in prize money and has launched a talent scouting programme to build a professional team.
Its first two recruits are Ahmed Al Meghessib, who plays FIFA, and Yousef Al Defaa, who competes in Fortnite, the battle royale hit made by Epic Games.
Qatar is not the only country striving to make its mark in eSports, which is traditionally dominated by South Korean and Chinese players but has teams from around the world in various games.
Gaming is popular around the oil-rich Gulf and there is a “very strong push from Qatar and Saudi Arabia” said Nicolas Besombes, a sociologist who studies eSports. He said its rise is a “fairly recent phenomenon that began a little before the pandemic”.
“It’s ‘soft power’… to improve their image and attractiveness.” | https://www.iraqinews.com/arab-world-news/qatars-majlis-gamers-target-esports-big-leagues/ | 2022-07-05T04:54:57Z | https://www.iraqinews.com/arab-world-news/qatars-majlis-gamers-target-esports-big-leagues/ | true | 3 |

Calling in the industrial umpire to rule on the NSW government’s dispute with the rail union is in the best interest of commuters after a week of failed negotiations, the premier says.
“The decision to go to the Fair Work Commission was not made lightly but it was made because, in my view, it is the only way to have this matter resolved and, ultimately, to have the industrial action cease,” Dominic Perrottet said on Tuesday.
The government referred the matter to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) in a last-ditch attempt to block a second week of industrial action by the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU).
It comes after negotiations failed despite an offer from the government to make $264 million in safety changes to the Korean-built fleet of trains that is the source of the dispute.
“We wouldn’t have taken the action to go to the Fair Work Commission if I didn’t believe that was the appropriate action in the best interest of the people of our state,” Mr Perrottet said.
“I will always put our people first.
“We have worked tirelessly in relation to reaching an agreement.
“I made that concession in circumstances where I did not believe and do not believe today that those modifications need to be made.”
The costs of storing the fleet would skyrocket without the concession, Mr Perrottet said.
An interim hearing is due to take place on Tuesday, which will set a hearing date for the FWC to decide on the legality of the rail union’s industrial action.
The union plans to push ahead with action on Wednesday and Friday, which would involve another ban on foreign-owned trains, cutting the fleet by 70 per cent.
RTBU NSW secretary Alex Claassens said earlier that the government’s decision to go to the FWC was a backward step.

AMAZY - Intertwining Fitness and Crypto with the Move2Earn Model
An innovative crypto-based fitness ecosystem, AMAZY, bridges the gap between the worlds of digital currency and exercising by rewarding people to engage in physical activities.
Recent studies have found an increase in physical inactivity among millions of people in different parts of the world. However, this rather unfortunate phenomenon might be coming to an end soon, owing to the emergence of groundbreaking initiatives, such as the AMAZY ecosystem maintained by Sergey Kosenko and Artem Nikolaev.
AMAZY aims to unite cryptocurrencies and fitness by developing an ecosystem for enthusiasts in both fields, adding value to people as well as giving those wishing to enter the blockchain world. The adoption of the Move2Earn model that awards people with tokens for participating in physical activities is one of the concepts that stand the AMAZY project out.
In addition to paying people in crypto for their physical activities, AMAZY also teaches newbies and potential entrants in the crypto world how to navigate their ways and harness the immense benefits of blockchain and Web 3.0.
AMAZY is already garnering a lot of traction across the globe, with celebrities, online influencers, and bloggers with about a billion subscribers in total. There will also be special fitness programs and exclusive sneakers from celebrities, all designed to encourage participation in physical activities and the adoption of cryptocurrency. Members of the AMAZY ecosystem will also be able to purchase 3D NFT sneakers, go for a walk or jog, and earn tokens that can be exchanged for real money.
To discover more about the AMAZY and to become a part of the project, please proceed to https://amazy.io/.
AMAZY can also be found across social media platforms, including Discord, Twitter and Telegram. | https://www.khaleejtimes.com/kt-network/amazy-intertwining-fitness-and-crypto-with-the-move2earn-model | 2022-07-05T05:02:16Z | https://www.khaleejtimes.com/kt-network/amazy-intertwining-fitness-and-crypto-with-the-move2earn-model | false | 1 |

Tennis Tennis Wimbledon 2022: Everything clicking as Halep reaches quarterfinals The 16th-seeded Halep advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the fifth time by beating fourth-seeded Paula Badosa 6-1, 6-2. AP London 05 July, 2022 10:16 IST Romania's Simona Halep celebrates after her win over Czech Republic's Karolina Muchova in the opening round of Wimbledon on Tuesday. - GETTY IMAGES AP London 05 July, 2022 10:16 IST Simona Halep's serve was working, her returns were landing, and the points were piling up fast.That's a pretty good combination for a player who just advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals by winning her 11th straight match at the All England Club but says she is still trying to get back to her best tennis and regain the confidence she lost while injured.“I worked really hard in the past two, three months. I'm really happy with all that I've done,” said Halep, who won the Wimbledon championship in 2019 but missed defending her title last year because of a left calf injury.READ: Nadal beats Van De Zandschulp in straight sets to reach Wimbledon quarterfinals “I got the confidence. I really feel this is my game. I'm pushing myself to do it as much as possible. I want to improve still.” It'll be tough to improve on Monday's display on Centre Court.The 16th-seeded Halep advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the fifth time by beating fourth-seeded Paula Badosa 6-1, 6-2. She lost only eight points on her serve and saved the only break point she faced. On the other side of the ball, the Romanian won 30 of the 55 points served by Badosa.“I was just missing,” Badosa said.“Some days it goes in the line. And some days, like today, all of them go out.” Halep's next opponent will be Amanda Anisimova. The 20th-seeded American finally ended the debut run of Harmony Tan, a French player who eliminated Serena Williams in the first round, by winning 6-2, 6-3.Also Monday, Ajla Tomljanovic beat Alize Cornet 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 and will next face Elena Rybakina. The 17th-seeded Rybakina defeated Petra Martic 7-5, 6-3.Halep is the only former Grand Slam champion left in the women's tournament. In April, she started working with PatrickMouratoglou, the former coach of Williams.Halep injured her calf more than a year ago, forcing her to withdraw from the French Open and Wimbledon. She would have been the defending champion at the grass-court Grand Slam last year because the 2020 tournament was canceled amid the pandemic.The 30-year-old Halep has said the injury made her consider retirement. There doesn't seem to be any thought of that now.“It means a lot that I'm back in a quarterfinals after I struggled so much with injuries and self-confidence,” Halep said.READ: Sania Mirza and Mate Pavic reach mixed doubles semifinal at Wimbledon “But, as I said, I'm working hard every day. I feel like if I do that, I will get better. Actually I'm really happy with the way I'm playing. I'm really confident. It's a pleasure to be on court.” With third-seeded Ons Jabeur in the other half of the draw, Halep is favored to get back into the final.First, though, she has to get past Anisimova — the last American in the tournament.“I'm sure that I can play good tennis again. But it's going to be a big challenge,” Halep said of her next match.“It's quarterfinals at Wimbledon. I'm ready for it and I'm looking forward for it.” Read more stories on Tennis.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong’s new leader John Lee said Tuesday at his first news conference since taking office that he will work on easing restrictions for travelers while balancing the risks of a coronavirus outbreak overwhelming the health care system.
Hong Kong and mainland China are among the few places in the world that still quarantine arrivals to reduce the spread of the virus two and a half years in the pandemic. Most travelers coming to Hong Kong are required to serve a seven-day mandatory quarantine at designated hotels.
Lee, a former security official who was the only candidate in the election for Hong Kong's chief executive, took office Friday, succeeding Carrie Lam.
Speaking at his first news conference ahead of an Executive Council meeting Tuesday, Lee said Hong Kong is an “international city” and that he was “conscious” of the need for Hong Kong to remain open and convenient to travelers.
“But it is also important that we address the risks at the same time so that we will maintain good balance,” he said. Lee said the city's health minister was evaluating data to determine how the quarantine duration could be adjusted and would formulate options for Lee to consider.
COVID-19 cases have been rising in Hong Kong, with more than 1,000 daily since mid-June, compared to just over a hundred daily in early May. The city reported 1,841 new infections on Monday.
Lee also said Hong Kong had a “constitutional duty” to enact a new security law, in addition to the national security law imposed by Beijing in 2020 that has wiped out most political dissent and put many democracy supporters under arrest, in hiding or in exile.
Enacting Article 23 of the Basic Law, Hong Kong’s mini-constitution, has long been controversial. When the government first attempted to draft such laws in 2003, protesters took to the streets in a massive demonstration that prompted the government to shelve its plans.
The crackdown that followed 2019 protests included reshaping Hong Kong's legislature. Should Lee enact Article 23, the laws are likely to pass in the body now filled with pro-Beijing lawmakers.
Lee said Hong Kong’s situation and levels of security risks will be assessed before the legislation is enacted. “We’re very confident that we will be able to do it well,” he said.
Lee also pledged to work on housing issues in Hong Kong — the most expensive property market in the world — stating that he will try and “fix short-term issues as quickly as possible” and will look at how to turn available land into “spade-ready sites” to increase the speed and efficiency of housing production. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Hong-Kong-s-John-Lee-stresses-balance-in-easing-17284318.php | 2022-07-05T05:15:52Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Hong-Kong-s-John-Lee-stresses-balance-in-easing-17284318.php | false | 17 |
The once vibrant Hong Kong film industry is struggling to recover from the effects of COVID and related problems, a local report has warned.
The report identified problems with theatrical box office, local production, co-production with mainland China and film investment.
The Motion Picture Industry Association and Hong Kong Box Office Ltd. regular half year report showed that cinemas in the city had been closed for 104 days this year, including Chinese New Year and Easter, both normally peak periods. Capacity restrictions remain in place as city authorities waver between trying to reopen the economy and a ‘dynamic zero’ COVID policy.
Actual cinema revenues in the first six month were little changed at HK$357 million ($45.5 million), compared with HK$376 million ($47.9 million). But only because the first half of 2021 was similarly affected by restrictions and cinemas were only open for 48 days.
The organizations note that box office takings were 66% lower than the $134 million registered in the first six months of 2019, the most recent pre-COVID year.
Just 73 films opened in the city’s cinemas during the first half of 2022, the vast majority of which were foreign imports.
“It can be seen that the Hong Kong film industry, including production and theatrical distribution sectors, have been very seriously affected by the epidemic,” the report says.
“Film production staff have been infected and cannot shoot. Actors and production teams in Hong Kong and [mainland] China are affected by 14 conditions, such as quarantine, which have affected the progress of works and discouraged investors, resulting in a sharp drop in production since 2021,” the report says. In recent years, large numbers of Hong Kong-initiated films have been co-produced with Mainland China partners or finance, meaning that conditions across the border have a spill-over effect in Hong Kong.
“Only six Hong Kong films were released in the first half of 2022. Output is low. Box office has plummeted. And no [local] film achieved HK$1 million in theaters, which is a miserable outcome,” the report continues.
In its heyday between the 1970s and 1990s, the Hong Kong film industry produced over 300 movies per year, including many in different Chinese dialects. In the decade before COVID, Hong Kong film output had fluctuated between 50-70 movies per year and the city had retained a key position in film finance and rights sales.
“The last Hong Kong government did not provide any support to the film industry, which is disappointing and a cause for complaint,” the report said. In fact, city authorities did provide direct subsidy to the cinema exhibition, but operators have been plagued with high rents and prolonged cinema closures and the cash injections did not prevent the collapse of the UA cinema chain in May 2021.
“It is hoped that the current government and its new team will face up to the difficulties of the film sector and lend a helping hand,” said the report. That is a reference to Hong Kong’s sixth term government under Chief Executive John Lee which took effect from July 1, 2022.
“Top Gun Maverick” was the top performing film of the period with HK$85.5 million ($11.1 million) to June 30. It was followed by “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” with a HK$65.5 million ($8.35 million) haul. In contrast, the top scoring Hong Kong-produced film was “Breakout Brothers 3,” with just HK$713,000 ($91,000) of theatrical revenue. | https://variety.com/2022/film/asia/hong-kong-film-industry-warning-1235308959/ | 2022-07-05T05:20:24Z | https://variety.com/2022/film/asia/hong-kong-film-industry-warning-1235308959/ | false | 1 |
For patients facing a cancer battle, support is critical. While top-tier medical care is of the utmost importance, there are various aspects of a person’s wellbeing which also must be addressed.
It’s something that Caitlin Benda, MBA, MS, RD, CSO, LDN understands well. As a registered dietitian and Board-certified specialist in oncology nutrition, she knows that providing nutritional guidance is also key.
“Nutrition can have a huge impact in all areas of our lives, but for individuals facing a cancer diagnosis, it becomes even more critical,” she said.
It’s Benda’s mission to help her patients better understand the role nutrition plays in the treatment of cancer and how it can ultimately impact well-being and the success of treatment. To do that, she works with the American Oncology Network, offering nutrition visits for patients seen in community oncology practices throughout Georgia and Maryland.
Locally, Benda teams up with Dr. Antonio Moran at Georgia Oncology and Hematology Consultants in Brunswick to offer free nutritional guidance to patients at various points on their cancer journey. Many individuals come into a cancer diagnosis already experiencing nutrition deficits, while others develop challenges with eating, drinking, or maintaining weight during treatment. Others have general questions about nutrition and cancer or may be looking to improve their health to help decrease risk of recurrence.
While nutrition plays an important role throughout the cancer journey, Benda is quick to point out that current research does not support a cause-and-effect relationship between nutrition and cancer.
“As I always say, cancer is a 1,000-piece puzzle. We know that diet, nutrition, and physical activity play a role in the risk for developing several types of cancer, but it’s one of many different risk factors, though one that’s considered to be modifiable, so it’s more under our control than some others”, she said.
She went on to emphasize the importance of maintaining nutritional status during cancer treatments.
“It’s common for people to think ‘well, I have weight to lose,’ but any unintentional weight loss is undesirable as it can signify underlying changes in body composition and loss of lean body mass. Even a small amount of unintentional weight loss can lead to a reduced tolerance to treatment or unplanned breaks or changes in the treatment regimen, ultimately impacting the efficacy and outcomes of the prescribed treatments. So, we are really encouraging people to focus on maintaining their weight during treatment and to focus on healthy, intentional weight loss if appropriate after treatment has ended.”
When someone is losing weight or is unable to adequately fuel their body, malnutrition is also a real possibility, and a concerning one at that. Malnutrition, Benda said, is associated with negative treatment outcomes and is therefore something that is key to prevent or to try to treat during treatment.
“It’s really important for us to be able to meet our calorie and protein needs, which are often elevated during cancer treatments. Given that appetite loss and barriers to eating or drinking are common while going through cancer treatments, we often have to be creative in how we work with patients to do that,” she said. “Treatment related side effects are usually quick to occur and change frequently throughout treatment, and people don’t always know what to eat to avoid exacerbating the side effects or to help them feel their best. Ultimately, this can result in reduced intake, leading to unintentional weight loss, loss of lean body mass, and malnutrition.”
For all of those reasons, Benda feels that it’s important to have a nutritional ally. She and her team of five dietitians connect through a variety of mediums to offer that support to patients across the country.
“I do work very closely with Dr. Moran and his team. They directly refer patients to me for a variety of reasons, and even though I am not physically located in the office, I am in frequent communication with the team so rarely miss a beat,” she said.
“I am able to connect with patients remotely via a secure telehealth platform or over the phone, depending on an individual’s preference. I also routinely share handouts and other resources with patients and am available for follow up as desired by the patient. It all depends on what they need.”
Benda understands that those needs can be very different from one patient to the next. That’s why she offers individualized nutrition care plans and recommendations that allow patients to regain a sense of control amidst what can be a difficult and chaotic period.
“We really want to be able to offer each patient what they need to be successful. I routinely tell patients that my job is to provide them with the tools that I think they may need, and it’s their job to take those tools and see how they will work for them,” she said.
Benda is grateful for the opportunity to share her vast set of tools with patients and is especially glad that her services are available free of charge.
“Cancer is not a cheap disease to treat, so to be able to provide support to patients at no additional cost is so important to me,” she said.
For patients of Dr. Moran, connecting with Benda is simple. Her contact information is available at the Brunswick office and Moran’s team also offers referrals for their patients to utilize the nutritional program.
Through this collaboration both Moran and Benda hope to offer patients another layer of support as well as a pathway to healing. | https://thebrunswicknews.com/life/nutritionist-offers-guidance-to-cancer-patients/article_9544d6a3-5f07-5f20-9e6a-c834613ba7f8.html | 2022-07-05T05:26:35Z | https://thebrunswicknews.com/life/nutritionist-offers-guidance-to-cancer-patients/article_9544d6a3-5f07-5f20-9e6a-c834613ba7f8.html | true | 1 |

The end of load shedding is not mere weeks away, according to energy expert Chris Yelland, who says it will take years to stabilise the energy grid.
“It is not true that we are going to get back to normal in a couple of weeks, it will be a couple of years,” he said.
Yelland said South Africa would still have intermittent load shedding even after the current labour disputes were settled. “If we carry on like we have been carrying on, it will go on forever.
“We have had load shedding intermittently for the past 15 years. And nothing we have been doing has been working, so we need to do something different,” he said.
Yelland said the purpose of load shedding was to ensure the supply of electricity and the demand balanced. “If the electricity demand is 4,000 megawatts greater than the supply, you would have to implement stage 4 load shedding, which is 4,000 megawatts.”
He said Eskom only implemented load shedding to bring the supply and demand back in balance.
“When Eskom has to implement stage 6, it can’t switch off the whole country at once but rather switches off several areas that total to the 6,000 megawatts needed,” said Yelland. “After a certain time delay, they switch those areas back on and switch off another set of areas that total 6,000 megawatts.”
ALSO READ: Load shedding: A step-by-step plan for ditching Eskom and going off grid
Yelland said as the stages increased, Eskom had to switch off more frequently to get the same effect. “It doesn’t have to be two or two and a half hours. But it was decided as convenience of time that most people would be able to put up with load shedding.”
He said the higher the stage of load shedding, the more frequent it would be.
“Sometimes, there will be overlapping stages, especially going into stages 6 and 8, where we can expect four hours of load shedding. Four hours of load shedding at stretch is already difficult, but they only do that when they absolutely have to,” he said.
Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said load shedding came in all stages. He said each stage was 1,000 megawatts.
“That’s the amount of electricity that you are short of at that particular moment. Those stages are determined by the deficit at a particular point in time,” he said.

The Democratic Alliance shadow minister for cooperative governance Kevin Mileham said several things had to happen if SA wanted to escape load shedding.
“Government needs to make it easier for independent power producers on a utility scale to access the market and make it less burdensome from a regulatory perspective for large-scale wind farms, solar farms and gas producers to enter the market independent from Eskom,” he said.
Mileham said government should also make it easier for homeowners and business owners to install small-scale embedded generation.
“That would go a long way in easing the demand on Eskom to allow them to do the necessary maintenance they must do to get the plant up and running again.” | https://www.citizen.co.za/news/south-africa/load-shedding/3131640/it-will-be-years-not-weeks-before-load-shedding-ends/ | 2022-07-05T05:27:59Z | https://www.citizen.co.za/news/south-africa/load-shedding/3131640/it-will-be-years-not-weeks-before-load-shedding-ends/ | false | 1 |

Solar Panels from China vs the US: China and the United States are the two biggest solar producers in the world. Most solar installations originate in one of these two countries. But what’s the difference between the two, which one produces the best solar panels, and does it even make that much of a difference?
Here’s what you need to know.
Most Solar Panels are Made in China
Not only does China produce more solar panels than any other country, but it also makes most of the technology that goes into these panels. As a result, even if you’re buying something that is “made in the USA”, it will likely have some kind of Chinese influence.
If you’re buying American just to support the economy, it’s important to keep this in mind.
This is something that you’ll find in many industries. Oftentimes, companies will push the “made in the USA” angle but neglect to mention that their materials are sourced from other countries and then merely assembled in the United States.
You’re still supporting US industry, of course, but it might not be the 100% American-made product that you think it is.
Chinese Solar Panels are Just As Good
China doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to manufacturing. It’s associated with cheap knock-offs sourced from sites like Alibaba. But that reputation is largely undeserved.
There are certainly products out there that are designed to be cheap and cheerful, products that can’t compare to those made elsewhere, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. China is the world’s manufacturing hub and it makes many of the products that you use every day.
When it comes to solar panels, you can find some very good and incredibly efficient panels with that “made in China” tag. Of course, there are also some low-quality solar panels produced in China, but the same could be said for the United States. There are good and bad producers and products in all countries.
Why Is it China vs America?
If China can make products that are just as good as the ones produced in the US, why is there such a hot debate about China vs the United States?
It mostly comes down to politics, as there is a lot of that surrounding the solar industry.
In 2021, the US banned the importation of products made by one of China’s biggest providers due to alleged forced labor practices. Import tariffs have also been imposed on Chinese products. What’s more, consumers are keen to buy locally and support US industry.
The US has a proud manufacturing history and it is also in close competition with China. Not only are these two countries the biggest in the solar panel sector, but they are also the globe’s two biggest manufacturers and economies, and so there has been a push for American consumers to buy American-made products.
Where are They Produced?
California was made for solar power. The Golden State is home to great weather, a liberal populace, and some of the biggest tech companies in the world. It’s also the most populous state in the country, and a largely affluent one at that.
As a result, it’s no surprise that many US solar panels are manufactured in CA.
Auxin Solar, CertainTeed Solar, CSUN, Lumos Solar, MiaSolé, and Sun Power all support the California solar panels installation industry, and these are just the tip of the iceberg.
In China, Shaanxi is one of the provinces tasked with fueling the solar boom. It’s far from the country’s biggest economy, but it plays an important role in the fossil fuel and high-technology sectors. It’s also home to the country’s biggest solar power manufacturer, LONGi Green Energy Technology.
As a consumer, you could be paying more for those California-produced panels, as the cost of living is much higher in CA and this is usually passed on to the consumer. However, the tariffs and other import costs mean the prices are more balanced than you would expect.
The Price
For most customers, whether they use US solar panels or opt for panels made in China will largely depend on price, as well as the reputation of the brand.
A brand can sell high-quality solar panels regardless of where the parts and panels are actually produced. The price can vary considerably and paying more doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re getting a higher-quality product.
As with everything else, it all comes down to reputation and user reviews. If you’re in the market for some solar panels, think less about where those panels or parts were made, and more about how long the panels will last, how much they will cost, and whether they are efficient enough to do the job that you need.
Solar panels are more popular than ever and the biggest brands sell their products all over the world. As a result, there is no shortage of reviews out there and it should be easy to get an honest opinion.
Conclusion: The US vs China in the Race for Solar
As far as solar energy is concerned, the future is now. This is no longer a technology that could prove useful in 5, 10, or 20 years. It’s one that we need right now, with the rising costs of energy and the need for drastic climate solutions pushing solar higher on our list of priorities.
China and the United States are the two leading providers and are battling for dominance in this growing industry. It’s debatable as to who produces the best solar panels, but their market dominance is indisputable.
Whether that continues, however, remains to be seen. China went from over a 50% market share in 2017 to 33% today, and countries like India, Japan, and Vietnam are also increasing their share. Even the EU is getting in on the act and has the capabilities to be a leading player.
Solar’s not going anywhere, but the grip that the US and China have on this sector might loosen in the future.

2 officers shot during July 4 celebration in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (KYW) - Two Philadelphia police officers were shot during the city’s Fourth of July festivities.
The shooting happened around 9:45 p.m. near the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The fireworks were just getting underway at the time.
People were seen running and screaming as gunshots were heard at the celebration.
Police say an officer assigned to the Montgomery County bomb squad was shot in the right shoulder. Another officer assigned to highway patrol suffered a graze wound to the head. Both officers have been released from the hospital.
Police are still looking for the shooter or shooters.
According to police sources, the suspect(s) were not in a position of high ground or firing from a building. Sources say this may have all started as the result of police pulling over a vehicle.
The shooting came hours after a gunman on a suburban Chicago rooftop opened fire on a July 4 parade, killing at least six people and wounding at least 30.

Hundreds of millions could be saved on household electricity bills if policies and planning urgently accelerated renewables, say Wind Energy Ireland.
The industry body laid bare a likely cost of living reduction totalling €600m over the next decade in a new report about meeting carbon budgets in the Irish power sector.
But based on current costs, they say the savings could now be “many multiples” of that.
Read more: Government slammed over lack of action on biodiversity
Bridging the Gap: Towards a zero-carbon power grid was written for WEI by Baringa and energy consultancy TNEI.
It found the field will still be emitting 70 million tonnes of C02 up to 2030 even if every project in EirGrid’s Shaping Our Electricity Future strategy is delivered.
That’s around 15 million tonnes short of the 55Mt of carbon Paul Deane at University College Cork estimates the sector should be emitting from 2021-2030. And with 2021 burning through 10 Mt of that, it leaves just 45Mt for nine years.
Noel Cunniffe, CEO of Wind Energy Ireland, said: “Some progress has been made but our existing strategies, plans and targets are simply inadequate and need to be stepped up.
“Just over three years ago the Oireachtas voted unanimously to declare that Ireland was in the middle of a climate and biodiversity emergency.
“It is time to start acting like it.”
The experts behind the report say we need new frameworks to reduce emissions in the energy sector “within months - not years”.
And to deliver, authorities need to accelerate onshore wind and solar power, upgrade and invest in the electricity grid and storage systems “beyond existing policy” while transforming planning systems.
Ireland has set an 80% renewable electricity target for 2030 and passed carbon budgets, with sectoral emissions ceilings expected this month.
But those behind the report say “limited attention has been given to the C02 emitted during this transition to a decarbonised 2030”.
They also believe an electricity grid entirely free of fossil fuel is possible in the next 12 years.
Noel Cunniffe added: “We definitely do see a future where we can have an electricity system without fossil fuels.
“You can do it in a very cost effective way for the consumer also.
“Key things to be able to deliver that are firstly, more diversity in your renewable portfolio - not just onshore wind, but if you start to integrate things like solar and offshore wind energy into the mix.
“The other thing that’s critical is you need technologies to be able to capture that renewable energy so you can store it and use it later - battery technology.
“Then ultimately we need hydrogen generation on the grid.. which you can use instead of fossil fuel gas.
“It has never been more urgent to act,” he said.
“Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine means spiralling gas and electricity prices across the continent.
“This means real hardship for families who will struggle to pay bills that, ultimately, end up funding Russia’s war.
“Ireland can play a critical role in defending Europe. Not with guns or tanks, but with wind turbines, solar panels and battery storage. We can build an energy independent Ireland at the heart of an energy secure Europe.”
The report highlights three priorities for government:
- Accelerating delivery of onshore wind and solar through properly funded planning system
- Shaping Our Electricity Future is not enough - existing power lines must be upgraded with rapid deployment of smart grid technologies to allow them to carry more power
- Replacing fossil-fuel based back-up with zero-carbon technologies like battery storage, new interconnectors and demand-response technologies which lower electricity demand
A Department for the Environment, Climate and Communications spokesperson said: "Climate Action Plan 2021 includes a suite of actions to realise the full potential of Ireland’s onshore and offshore renewable energy resources. Additionally, there is a further commitment to develop a longer-term plan to harness the estimated potential of at least 30GW of offshore floating wind power in our Atlantic waters.
"In light of this increased Government ambition, EirGrid have committed to updating their ‘Shaping our Electricity Future’ roadmap – to assess the infrastructure required to meet Ireland's up to 80% renewable electricity target and deliver on our climate ambition."
They added that "a hydrogen strategy for Ireland is one of the key priorities in the Energy Security Framework". And they are "currently finalising preparations for a public consultation, to gather the views of stakeholders and interested parties which will inform the development of this strategy" with the consultation due online in the "very near future".

If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably got a hefty collection of eye-specific skincare sitting on your dressing table, from retinol eye creams to eye creams for mature skin , but sometimes when those under-eye bags and dark circles just won’t budge it’s time to draft in a skincare tool.
Not just for depuffing and tackling wrinkles and crows' feet, eye tools also come in handy when it comes to ‘Zoom eyes’, those red, itchy, heavy and tired we're all too familiar with from long hours spent in virtual meetings, according to eye care expert Natasha Sales, co-founder of eye care brand Peep Club, which she founded with optometrist Nicola Alexander-Cross.
“We blink six to eight times less when we look at a screen," she says, "so our tears, which are like little sips of water for our eyes, are not replenished as often. Our eyes are essentially parched while we’re on a video call.”
Massaging eye tools such as Peep Club's wand are ideal for stimulating your peepers to produce better quality tears throughout the day and keep them hydrated, while others encourage lymphatic drainage through vibrations or rollers to depuff eyes.
From ice globes to ‘eye-brators’ here are the eye tools we rate for making us look wide awake.
Ever-youthful Paris Hilton, 40, keeps this tool (in pink, naturally) in her bag to banish puffy eyes and actress Jemma Chan loves it because it "mimics the tapping used in tradition Asian skincare," she says. It has been dubbed an 'eye-brator' by fans thanks to the sonic pulsations that the brand is known for across all of its beauty tools. The pulsations encourage lymphatic drainage to keep your eye area looking bright. GTG's digital writer (and Paris Hilton devotee) Melanie Macleod tried this to see what all the fuss is about.
"It's made from ultra-soft silicone and does have a sex-toy feel about it (it's not called a eye-brator for nothing). You put your eye cream or serum on first and then place the tool flat on the under-eye area and sweep it back and forth to drive in the product. It has eight customisable vibration and tapping speeds, depending on if you want a relaxing eye session, or to feel stimulated. As well as gently pulsating (if you've used Foreo devices before you'll be familiar with the gentle hum) the top hooped section also sort of wiggles back and forth for the tapping sensation to encourage drainage. You sweep it from the inner corner to the outer corner of your eye for 30 seconds on each eye (don't peer through the loop like I originally did, despite looking perfectly eye-shaped doing this has no effect) and voila, you're done. I definitely felt more awake after my session and less puffy too."

This magic wand was created with an optometrist and was designed to alleviate dry eyes that are watering due to blocked glands by stimulating said glands to produce tears that hydrate the eyes. (Eyes actually water because they're dry, to try and hydrate themselves). GTG contributor Marie-Louise Pumfrey got acquainted with this tool.
"I've been obsessively using Peep Club's wand every night to soothe my dry eyes. It has a smooth metal tip that heats up to 42 degrees in less than a minute. You sweep the tip along your bottom and top lid eye for 60 seconds on each area. It had a red LED light at the top which helps promote collagen and elastin production, so while the heat and gentle vibrations work on soothing dry eyes and aiding lymphatic draining, the little light helps with plumping too. It comes with a soothing coconut eye balm that goes on like butter which you smooth all over the eye area before using the wand. The whole process takes about two minutes; first apply the balm, then starting with the inner corner of your slowly work your way to the outer corner of your eye with the metal tip. It takes about 15 seconds and should be done for 60 seconds in total on the lower lid and then 60 seconds on the upper lid. I've been gently using it on my eyelids for about a minute on each and it's now a favourite part of my nighttime beauty routine."

The most pocket-sized of the eye tools we tried, this little lilac roller should not be under-estimated. Rihanna created this to give the illusion of a well-rested face when you're anything but. Melanie Macleod tried it on tired eyes.
"The gel-cream is made from a reviving and hydrating medley of horse chestnut, hyaluronic acid, Persian silk tree and green tea and the mini-massager gives it a cooling boost, driving it into the delicate skin with zero tugging. The metal roller helps the cream glide over the skin, sinking in to create the perfect makeup base for smooth concealer and foundation. You only need to roll it back and forth along your under eye area a couple of times, but it's fairly addictive and I found myself rolling it over the area for a good 30 second to enjoy the cooling sensation.
"After using this my makeup glided on like a dream and my undereye area was definitely brighter than before."

Dr. Levy Eye Booster Concentrate has won so many awards, most recently in our own Get The Gloss Beauty and Wellness Awards 2020, where it scooped gold in the Age Well category. This delicate, watery gel stem cell serum has independent studies showing 26 per cent reduced wrinkle depth in eight weeks. Our tester GTG's Victoria Woodhall is a fan and tried this kit, in which the eye tool comes FREE with the serum.
"No denying the serum costs a bomb, so to have a galvanic microcurrent device, which this is, to help push the product deeper into your skin, definitely gives more bang for your buck," she says. "It has a flat metal plate that gently vibrates. You press this onto the serum after you have applied it for a couple of seconds. It's a pat rather than a drag as the serums doesn't have any slips. As the current is galvanic, it's important to create a circuit lop with your fingers holding the metal plates at the side, but it's not complicated. There's a targeted nobble for deep lines at the top which I didn't bother with. It's a welcome extra that you can use with any serum and it left my eyes feeling buzzy and awake."

For a refreshing hit for hungover skin or a cooling treat on boiling hot days (remember them?) this glass globe is a godsend. You keep it in the freezer which makes the water inside freeze and then roll it over your face including under the eyes. Melanie Macleod put it to the test.
"Using in freezing early March temperatures was a shock to the system in that it's extremely cold, but it's a simple tool for tightening skin and making it look instantly refreshed and one I'll keep on hand as days warm up.
"Surprisingly it doesn't feel too cold to hold, I think because the handle is fairly slim. As soon as you take it out of the freezer it begins to melt inside so it easily glides over the delicate skin under your eyes without tugging. I gave this a try after a particularly intense weeping session (lockdown has been tough on us all!) when I didn't want anyone on Zoom to notice my puffy eyes. I was deeply impressed by how quickly it took down redness, leaving me looking bright-eyed with no sign that I'd been sniffling into a tissue ten minutes before.
" Cold therapy has long been a fixture in red carpet facials thanks to its ability to give instant visible results, lifting and tightening the skin, constricting pores as well as stimulating blood flow to give a visible glow.
"If you're prone to redness and inflammation or just need a bit of brightening, this is for you. Cold works cleverly on puffiness too. "Cold therapy can reduce swelling and inflammation by stimulating our lymph system and reducing fluid," confirms facialist Pamela Marshall. "Dark circles under the eye can also temporarily be reduced due to the constricting of blood vessels."

GTG's editorial director has been glued to her Hayou Precision gua sha since it launched a couple of years ago.
"I also have the beautiful rose quartz version of this, I love it that much," she says. "The original is made of cooling jade which is instantly soothing on tired eyes. Sometimes I just rest the flat side over my closed eyelid for a second and breathe. As a regular gua sha user, I love the rejuvenating flush it delivers, bringing nourishing circulation to the surface of the skin. When we're stressed, our body diverts blood away from the skin to the muscles so we can 'flee'. The result for our poor complexions is that we can look which can make us look sallow, dry and wrinkled.
"I don't use the standard larger gua sha tool around the eyes as it tends to drag on the delicate skin, but this is perfect. Little light flicks of the short edge are enough o bring up that flush that you want (don't forget to use an oil or a richer eye cream first). It works best crows' feet, expression lines and is also brilliant for around the lips, eleven lines between the brow and takes just a minute, if that, to do the whole face."

Think of this slingshot-shaped tool as a resistance band for the face. By placing it on different areas, in this instance under the eyes and on the forehead, it provides resistance to make the facial muscles work harder and tone up. Melanie Macleod gave it a whirl.
"There are two components to this tool; the silicone pads on the arms at the top which provide resistance during facial exercise, giving your muscles something to work against to make them tighten the skin and provide a firmer look, and the roller at the bottom which you roll over your face to ease toxins out of our lymph nodes.
"There are several ways to use this on the eye area. For bigger, brighter, less hooded eyes, place the silicone pads just above the brows and look down towards the tip of your nose for three seconds. The resistance from the tool helps tone the eye muscles and tighten and lift the eyelids. I repeated this five times a morning.
"For eliminating eye bags and tightening the under-eye area, place the tool just above your cheekbones and look up without raising your eyebrows, concentrating on lifting your lower eyelids and hold for three seconds. The resistance works the muscles to tighten the area.
"I can't say I saw an immediate difference in hooded eyelids or undereye bags during testing, but my eyes definitely felt more awake and I imagine with time and committed usage you'd see a toning of the face. What I enjoyed most was gliding the roller back and forth under my eyes. It rotates easily so there's no pulling even if you're doing it on dry skin with no product. I could almost feel the lymphatic drainage."

Foreo's cutest pulsating facial tool, Bear Mini is designed to access smaller areas of the face, making it perfect for toning the eye area, especially crows' feet and for lifting the brow as well as relaxing the face after a day on-screen and draining away puffiness. Victoria Woodhall tried the cutest eye tool out.
"This uses barely perceptible microcurrent technology as well as gentle massaging pulsations, emitted from the metal spheres with three current strengths which I was grateful for around the delicate eye area, especially on the brow bone, where the skin is thin and sensitive. Conductivity gel is a must with any microcurrent device and Bear Mini comes with a tester sachet of Foreo's hyaluronic acid-rich Serum Serum Serum, although you can use your own, just make sure it's microcurrent safe and that you have cleansed using an oil-free cleanser. I used it to lift my hooded eyes . After a week of using it my eyes felt and looked brighter. Not only did it relax tired screen eyes, it helped soften crows' feet too.

The Premier League has asked its clubs to support phasing out gambling companies sponsoring shirts, the PA news agency understands.
Premier League chiefs are understood to have made the request in a bid to avert the threat of a Government-enforced ban.
English top-flight bosses are thought to have contacted clubs on Monday, proposing plans to usher out shirt sponsorship by betting firms within three years.
The Premier League sides have been asked for quick responses, with the agreement of 14 clubs required for the plans to be adopted straight away.
Betting firm sponsorship has become commonplace in the Premier League, with almost half of the 20 top-flight clubs benefiting from deals last season.
Premier League administrators are understood to believe that the UK Government still harbours plans to bring in legislation to ban betting companies sponsoring top-flight shirts.
And so Premier League chiefs hope to avoid Government intervention by handling the concern themselves.
The Government has said it will publish a White Paper on gambling reform in the coming weeks. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4498489/premier-league-asks-clubs-to-back-phasing-out-gambling-firms-sponsoring-shirts/ | 2022-07-05T05:44:03Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4498489/premier-league-asks-clubs-to-back-phasing-out-gambling-firms-sponsoring-shirts/ | false | 8 |

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares advanced Monday across the board as buying set in after the lull of a U.S. national holiday.
Analysts said the optimism may be driven by expectations the U.S. may decide to cut Chinese tariffs, a welcome move that would also help tame inflation.
China's Commerce Ministry said Tuesday that Vice Premier Liu He spoke with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about coordinating economic policy between the two biggest economies and maintaining the stability of supply chains.
In a statement, it also said the Chinese side “expressed its concern over issues such as the removal of additional tariffs and sanctions imposed by the United States on China and fair treatment of Chinese companies." The two sides agreed to continue their discussions, it said.
Investors also have been encouraged by the lifting of restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic across the region, including in Japan, which had been booming with tourists from abroad ahead of the pandemic.
“The quiet economic calendar yesterday brings sentiments to focus on the single relief headline of a potential US tariff-easing decision, which could run the risks of a sharp paring back in speculative bullish bets in the event of any inaction," in taming inflation,” Yeap Jun Rong, a market strategist at IG in Singapore, said in a commentary.
But risks remain because of inflation and slowing economic activity in some countries. A resurgence in COVID-19 infections in Europe, the U.S. and parts of Asia is also looming, bringing the threat of a reversion to pandemic precautions.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 added nearly 1.0% in morning trading to 26,404.90. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.3% to 6,632.00. South Korea's Kospi jumped 1.8% to 2,342.24. Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.8% to 21,997.04, while the Shanghai Composite inched up 0.1% to 3,409.95.
Market players are also closely watching for an interest rate decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia. It is expected to raise its key rate by 50 basis-points. Minutes of the latest policy meeting of the Federal Reserve are also due out on Wednesday and could bring hints on future policy.
Global investors have been worried about surging inflation and the possibility that higher interest rates could bring on a recession in some economies. U.S. trading was closed Monday for Independence Day.
The futures for the Dow industrials and the S&P 500 were both up 0.4% early Tuesday.
Shares ended last week with a rally, with the S&P 500 surging 1.1%. The Dow gained 1% and the Nasdaq rose 0.9%. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies gained 1.2%.
In the first half of this year, the S&P 500 had its worst performance since the first six months in 1970. It’s now down 20.2% from the peak it set at the beginning of this year.
The risk of a recession is simmering as the U.S. Federal Reserve aggressively hikes interest rates. The Fed is raising rates to purposefully slow economic growth to help cool inflation, but could potentially go too far and bring on a recession.
In Germany, Chancellor Olaf Scholz gathered top employer and labor union representatives at his Berlin office Monday to seek ways of addressing the impact of rising prices while preventing a spiral of inflation in Europe’s biggest economy.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude surged $1.87 to $110.30 a barrel. It gained $2.67 on Friday to $108.43 a barrel. Trading was closed Monday. Brent crude, the international standard, lost 3 cents to $113.47 a barrel.
In currency trading, the U.S. dollar edged up to 136.15 Japanese yen from 135.69 yen. The euro cost $1.0434, up from $1.0423.

Each of the two brothers killed in a shootout with police in a Greater Victoria suburb last week outside a BMO branch connected with the Canadian Armed Forces, although neither ever served.
In an email to Black Press Media, a CAF spokesperson confirmed Mathew Auchterlonie applied to join the armed forces but did not successfully pass the Canadian Forces aptitude test. No date was provided as to when he applied.
The spokesperson also confirmed that Isaac Auchterlonie participated in 2018 in the CAF’s Soldier for a Day program, which gives interested parties age 15-over a feel for the training CAF members go through and what their work entails. It does not engage participants in any firing or manipulation of live guns or other weapons.
The program is designed as a type of open house, often run as a field trip for high school students.
Neither Isaac nor Mathew Auchterlonie have ever been part of the Canadian Armed Forces in any way, the spokesperson stated.

Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has again stressed the urgent need to allow the establishment of functional state-owned police across Nigeria.
Diri, during the gala night at the 2022 Ijaw in Diaspora Convention in the United States, said the operations of state police would end insecurity in the country.
The governor in a statement by his Director, New Media, Dr. Kola Oredipe, insisted on restructuring the country and devolution of power to the states, calling on the Federal Government to respect the true dictates of a federal system of government as fashioned after the US democratic system, where equity, fairness and justice hold sway.
“The security challenges are there in Nigeria and that is why some of us are asking for restructuring of Nigeria. There has to be devolution of powers to the states. Right here in the US, I can see policemen who are not federal but under the jurisdiction of their respective states. That is the federal system. In Nigeria, why can’t we have state policemen. State government should be allowed and that will contribute to security in the country,” Diri said.
He noted that the current administration in Bayelsa State` was investing massively in security to create enabling environment for investments to thrive.
Diri said: “We have been in the US for some days now and have met various groups and institutions for partnerships and investments in the states. Bayelsa is so blessed in oil and gas but we are redirecting our energies to gas, renewable energy and agriculture among others. The meetings have been very encouraging and positive.
“For us, we know that security is key and that was why we established the Bayelsa State Community Safety Corps headed by a retired Brigadier-General. We are involving our youths in the security of their localities. Of course, relatively in Nigeria, Bayelsa remains one of the safest states.
“So, we call on you our brothers and sisters in the diaspora to join us attract investment opportunities to our state. Research has shown that we are so blessed with arable lands and interesting to note that we can even plant rice three times in a year. This is big for us.” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/ijaw-convention-in-us-state-police-will-solve-insecurity-in-nigeria-diri/ | 2022-07-05T06:03:10Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/ijaw-convention-in-us-state-police-will-solve-insecurity-in-nigeria-diri/ | true | 1 |

Asian shares inched up on Tuesday morning as positive economic data and hints of easing Sino-US tensions offered some respite to the recent sell-offs, though persistent fears about a global recession and sky-high inflation kept most buyers at bay.
MSCI's gauge of Asia Pacific stocks outside Japan was up 0.3 percent, having erased part of the early morning gains. The index has fallen 16 percent so far this year, as worries that central banks around the world will push economies into recession to break red-hot inflation have sent investors running for cover.
Offering brief respite to nervous markets was a report that US president Joe Biden was leaning towards a decision on easing tariffs on goods from China as well as news Chinese vice premier Liu He had spoken to US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, said Redmond Wong, market strategist at Saxo Markets Hong Kong.
Also read: Nikkei cautious as Wall Street futures slip
A survey showing China's services activity at the fastest pace in almost a year also helped sentiment, he said.
Overnight the Wall Street Journal reported Biden was contemplating rolling back some tariffs on Chinese imports in an effort to slow inflation.
Chinese shares, however, were volatile, and gave up their early gains, with blue chips last down 0.6 percent.
There was also positive data from Japan where the country's services sector activity expanded at the fastest pace in over eight years in June as the easing of coronavirus curbs boosted sentiment among businesses such as those in tourism, helping the Nikkei to rise 0.8 percent.
Referring to the global growth and inflation dynamics, Saxo Markets' Wong said: "Market participants are still assessing the impact of the tug of war between inflation being at persistently elevated levels and signs pointing to potentially an incoming US recession."
Those concerns were front and centre in South Korea, where June inflation accelerated to the fastest pace since the Asian financial crisis, fanning expectations the central bank could deliver a 50 basis point rake hike for the first time next week to cool prices.
Australia's central bank meets later in the day with analysts expecting another 50-basis-point rate hike to tamp down galloping inflation.
US markets were closed overnight for the Fourth of July holiday, and US share futures rose in Asia trade, with S&P500 e-mini futures up 0.4 percent.
In currency markets the dollar index was steady at 105.7, still broadly supported by its safe-haven credentials. US treasury yields returned from the holiday higher, with the yield on benchmark 10 year notes at 2.96 percent but failing push back above the symbolic 3 percent level.
Brent crude futures rose 0.4 percent to $113.92 a barrel after a 2.4 percent gain on Monday, as a strike in Norway is expected to disrupt oil and gas output, fanning tight supply worries. Spot gold was trading flat at $1809.2 an ounce, paring Monday's losses. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/stocks/nikkei-edges-higher-inflation-fears-check-gains-14031962.htm/amp | 2022-07-05T06:13:31Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/stocks/nikkei-edges-higher-inflation-fears-check-gains-14031962.htm/amp | true | 5 |
Luis Arraez had three hits, Alex Kirilloff had two hits and two RBIs and Byron Buxton smacked a two-run home run to lift the visiting Minnesota Twins to a 6-3 victory in 10 innings against the Chicago White Sox on Monday.
Along with his offensive heroics, Buxton contributed a game-saving catch that led to a triple play in the Chicago seventh. The play wound up as the first 8-5 (right fielder to third baseman) triple play in major league history.
Minnesota won for the third time in four games while improving to 4-0 against the White Sox this season. The Twins blew the game open with a four-run 10th, as Kirilloff punctuated the rally with a two-run single.
Jhoan Duran worked around AJ Pollock's run-scoring single in the 10th to preserve the victory. Emilio Pagan (3-3) navigated around a walk in a scoreless ninth to get the win.
Joe Kelly (0-2) took the loss, allowing four runs, three earned, and two hits in two-thirds of an inning with two walks and one strikeout.
Minnesota right-hander Dylan Bundy pitched five strong innings, scattering one run on three hits with one walk and six strikeouts.
Chicago opened the scoring in the second, as Jose Abreu smacked an opposite-field solo home run into the right field bleachers.
With the blast, Abreu extended his hitting streak to nine games while ending an 18-game drought without a home run. Abreu and Seby Zavala each had two hits for Chicago.
Buxton's two-run home run in the fifth put the Twins ahead 2-1 and marked the sixth straight game against Chicago in which he has homered.
Yoan Moncada tied the score with hit an RBI single in the seventh, leaving runners at first and second with no outs.
Pollock drilled a shot to the gap in right center field. Buxton snagged the ball near the warning track, then threw to the infield, where third baseman Gio Urshela retired Adam Engel and Moncada, who initially weren't aware the ball was caught and hadn't tagged up.
White Sox righty Johnny Cueto limited Minnesota to two runs on five hits in six innings. Cueto scattered five walks and three strikeouts but again proved susceptible to the long ball, allowing at least one home run for the third successive start.
Chicago manager Tony La Russa was ejected in the top of the 10th inning for arguing balls and strikes.

Nets could target these three players in NBA free agency
NBA free agency officially begins Thursday. Here are three players that will be on the Nets’ wishlist:
Center Deandre AytonThis is the white whale, a restricted free agent the Nets have been linked to in a sign-and-trade involving Joe Harris and Nic Claxton. Would they sacrifice depth to chase a star, even if it’s insurance against losing Kyrie Irving?
Forward Otto Porter Jr.GM Sean Marks once signed the sweet-shooting wing to a max offer sheet; could he get him for a $6 million mid-level exception now? If the Nets lose Patty Mills (or deal Harris), that need becomes more acute.
Center Isaiah HartensteinA young center who is versatile on both ends. There was mutual interest last year before the Nets signed Paul Millsap. Even if the Clippers can’t pay him, there will be plenty of interest around the league. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652169619628/nets-could-target-these-three-players-in-nba-free-agency | 2022-07-05T06:21:18Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652169619628/nets-could-target-these-three-players-in-nba-free-agency | false | 1 |

BEIJING (AP) — From the snowcapped peaks of Tibet to the tropical island of Hainan, China is sweltering under the worst heatwave in decades while rainfall hit records in June.
Extreme heat is also battering Japan, and volatile weather is causing trouble for other parts of the world in what scientists say has all the hallmarks of climate change, with even more warming expected this century.
The northeastern provinces of Shandong, Jilin and Liaoning saw precipitation rise to the highest levels ever recorded in June, while the national average 112.1 millimeters (4.4 inches) was 9.1 % high than the same month last year, the China Meteorological Administration said in a report Tuesday.
The average temperature across the nation also hit 21.3 degrees Celsius (70.34 Fahrenheit) in June, up 0.9 C (1.8 F) from the same period month last year and the highest since 1961. No relief is in sight, with higher than usual temperatures and precipitation forecast in much of the country throughout July, the administration said.
In the northern province of Henan, Xuchang hit 42.1 C (107.8 F) and Dengfeng 41.6 C (106.9 F) on June 24 for their hottest days on record, according to global extreme weather tracker Maximiliano Herrera.
China has also seen seasonal flooding in several parts of the country, causing misery for hundreds of thousands, particularly in the hard-hit south that receives the bulk of rainfall as well as typhoons that sweep in from the South China Sea.
China is not alone in experiencing higher temperatures and more volatile weather. In Japan, authorities warned of greater than usual stress on the power grid and urged citizens to conserve energy.
Japanese officials announced the earliest end to the annual summer rainy season since the national meteorological agency began keeping records in 1951. The rains usually temper summer heat, often well into July.
On Friday, the cities of Tokamachi and Tsunan set all-time heat records while several others broke monthly marks.
Large parts of the Northern Hemisphere have seen extreme heat this summer, with regions from the normally chilly Russian Arctic to the traditionally sweltering American South recording unusually high temperatures and humidity.
In the United States, the National Weather Service has held 30 million Americans under some kind of heat advisory amid record-setting temperatures. The suffering and danger to health is most intense among those without air conditioning or who work outdoors, further reinforcing the economic disparities in dealing with extreme weather trends. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/China-sees-record-rains-heat-as-weather-turns-17284416.php | 2022-07-05T06:48:36Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/China-sees-record-rains-heat-as-weather-turns-17284416.php | false | 29 |

Ten years ago, scientists were able to discover the Higgs Boson particle and help make sense of the our universe using the Large Hadron Collider. They did it again in 2018, unlocking new insights on protons.
Now, with a new host of questions, they plan to restart the particle accelerator this month to possibly better understand cosmic unknowns like dark matter.
"This is a particle that has answered some questions for us and given many others," Dr. Sarah Demers, a physics professor at Yale University, tells NPR.
The Higgs Boson particle was first observed when scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, spun and crashed particles together near the speed of light. They did that by using the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator — the Large Hadron Collider.
Since 1964, physicists theorized this particle existed, but it took nearly 50 years to find evidence.
Scientists believe the Higgs field was formed a tenth of a billionth of a second after the Big Bang and without it, stars, planets and life would not have emerged.
The evidence of the Higgs Boson's existence was a major milestone in fundamental physics, and Dr. François Englert and Dr. Peter Higgs won a Nobel Prize in physics. Despite the scientific achievement, the work in understanding how the universe operates is far from over.
The collider finished a second experimental run in 2018 that gave new insights into the structures of protons and how the Higgs Boson decays.
And after more than three years of maintenance and upgrades, the collider will launch again on Tuesday – this time tripling the data, maintaining intense beams for longer and generally enabling more studies.
"There has to be more out there because we can't explain so many of the things that are around us," said Demers, who is also at CERN working on the third run. "There's something really big missing, and by really big, we're talking about 96 percent of the universe really big."
What Demers is referring to is dark matter, which is invisible matter believed to exist from observations of the cosmos, and dark energy, which fuels the accelerating expansion of the universe. She hopes that the upcoming run will produce insight into the elusive but overwhelming bulk of our cosmos.
In a news release, CERN wrote, "Finding the answers to these and other intriguing questions will not only further our understanding of the universe at the smallest scales but may also help unlock some of the biggest mysteries of the universe as a whole, such as how it came to be the way it is and what its ultimate fate might be."
The third run is expected to go on for the next four years, and scientists are already starting to work on Run 4, scheduled to begin in 2030.

The news cycle moves so quickly that we too often forget the things we should remember. Like the shooting in a Uvalde school that killed 19 children and two of their teachers. It was a little more than one month ago. We spoke with someone who will never forget, Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, who serves the citizens of Uvalde. He’s spent much of the past month looking for answers. Gutierrez came to the city the night of May 24. And he’s stayed there for most of the time since, to be there for his constituents—to listen and to give them what support he can. Some of the people who lost their children blame law enforcement—for not doing enough, fast enough, to save their kids. The state senator has been looking for answers about law enforcement’s failings that day. But he’s also keeping the pressure on, knowing that the clock is ticking for Texas to take real action. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652179736387/migrants-cross-into-us-amid-governor-abbott-s-visit-to-eagle-pass | 2022-07-05T06:53:23Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2652179736387/migrants-cross-into-us-amid-governor-abbott-s-visit-to-eagle-pass | true | 3 |
We are once again faced with a severe rain event, with road closures, evacuations and even rescues of people stranded. Council's crews are hard at work monitoring the safety of our roads, detention basins and working with the SES and police during this severe weather period.
So far our region has experienced some flooding around Lansvale, and the Fairfield SES Unit issued evacuation orders to residents in those areas over the weekend, while door knocking continued in other flood prone parts warning residents to prepare for more heavy rain.

Council crews are emergency-filling potholes, providing traffic control where required; and ensuring that our catchment infrastructure, such as creeks and detention basins are coping with the significant amount of rainfall.
Council has undergone extensive flood mitigation works since the 1980s to keep our community safe; including more than 20 detention basins, waterway improvements and one of the largest house raising programs in the state. During extreme rain events, detention basins collect rainwater and slowly release it into our creek system, which allows them more time to empty when they are overwhelmed and overflowing.
Upgrade works to the Fairfield Golf Course Detention Basin in Prairiewood are now under way to ensure it can continue to do its job of holding water to prevent flooding to surrounding homes, keeping the community safe. Head to fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au/FGC-detention-basin-upgrade for more.
For the latest updates on evacuations and road closures, follow Fairfield SES unit and Fairfield Police on Facebook. Please, drive with caution in the rain and never drive or wade through floodwaters, for your own safety.
When the rains ease, council will focus its efforts on once again restoring local roads including permanently patching potholes when the roads are dry.

The Public Ministry of Minas Gerais denounced the athlete Yuri Ramon Pereira de Oliveira for the murder of Rodrigo Marlon Caetano Andrade, 25, from Cruzeiro, in March this year. The crime happened during a clash between Galoucura, from Atlético, and Mafia Azul, from Cruzeiro, on a day of classic.
Rodrigo Marlon, 25, died after being shot during a fight between Atlético-MG and Cruzeiro fans this Sunday (6) – Photo: Social networks
According to the document that the g1 and TV Globo had access to, the homicide against Rodrigo was for a clumsy reason and resource that made it impossible to defend the victim. A second victim, a motorcyclist, was hit and survived. In this case, it was considered that the attempted murder was also for a clumsy reason and kind of made it impossible to defend the man.
Yuri had the temporary conversion to preventive and remains at large.
The Civil Police even indicted three other people, in addition to Yuri. Among those indicted is the man who lent the motorcycle to the suspect after he shot Rodrigo. The vehicle was not his. He would also have involvement in the clash between twisted.
– He was not reported and his situation was filed. The prosecutor’s decision to file (about her client’s case) was very fair and commendable, said lawyer Ana Beatriz Gomes.
According to her, the man was imprisoned for 30 days. The second indicted was the motorcyclist who was hit and survived. He, according to investigations, was involved in the confrontation of twisted.
Widespread fight between Atlético-MG and Cruzeiro fans leaves one dead in BH
The third indictment was Yuri’s girlfriend since, according to the investigation, she is helping the suspect so that he is not located and arrested. The g1 report awaits a position from the Public Ministry in relation to the accused.
Another 14 people were listed, among Atlético and Cruzeiro fans, for involvement in the clash of fans. The motorcycle owner, who did not know that the vehicle would be used in the confrontation and escape, was not charged.

The confrontation took place on March 6, hours before the classic held at Mineirão, for the 9th round of the Campeonato Mineiro. According to the Military Police, about 50 fans participated in the confusion in the eastern region of the capital of Minas Gerais.
After the incident, in conversation with the TV Globo team, Rodrigo’s mother, Marinete Caetano, said that the family never approved of her son’s involvement with the organized supporters Mafia Azul.
Rodrigo was rescued and sent to the João XXIII Emergency Hospital, but he could not resist his injuries. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/05/atletico-mg-x-cruzeiro-mp-denounces-galo-fan-for-murder-of-cruzeiro-during-organized-fight-football/ | 2022-07-05T07:12:02Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/05/atletico-mg-x-cruzeiro-mp-denounces-galo-fan-for-murder-of-cruzeiro-during-organized-fight-football/ | false | 2 |
MONTERREY, Mexico — Alex Morgan scored a pair of first-half goals and the U.S. women’s national team defeated Haiti, 3-0, on Monday night in the opening match of the CONCACAF W Championship.
The tournament determines the region’s four direct berths in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
Midge Purce also scored for the United States, which has won the past two World Cups.
Morgan opened scoring for the U.S. in the 16th minute with a heel flick off a pass from Mallory Pugh that got past Haiti goalkeeper Lara Larco.
Morgan’s second goal came on a header in the 23rd minute.
Haiti was awarded a penalty in the 42nd but Roselord Borgella’s attempt hit the post and caromed away. Borgella was handed a red card in the 45th, but video review rescinded the call and she was given a yellow.
The United States appeared to score on an own goal in the 78th, but Megan Rapinoe was ruled offside. Purce scored her fourth international goal in the 84th.
U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski praised Morgan and said he was pleased with the result, although there’s things to work on before the Americans face Jamaica on Thursday.
“On the other side, we gave up a lot of opportunities, gave up a penalty kick. That’s something we’re going to have to do better and tie up a few things for the next game,” Andonovski said.
Eight teams are split into two groups for the W Championship. The top two finishers in each group earn World Cup berths. The third place finishers in each group advance to a 10-team intercontinental playoff, to be held in New Zealand in February.
The winner of the W Championship also earns a spot in the 2024 Olympics.
Haiti has never qualified for a World Cup or an Olympics.
In the group’s late match, Khadija Shaw scored in the eighth minute and Jamaica held on to defeat Mexico 1-0 in the late match.
Canada, Costa Rica, Panama and Trinidad & Tobago are in the other group. | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/07/04/morgan-scores-twice-and-us-women-down-haiti-3-0/ | 2022-07-05T07:12:05Z | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/07/04/morgan-scores-twice-and-us-women-down-haiti-3-0/ | true | 46 |
Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell shocked by people wishing him dead since switching to LIV Golf
Graeme McDowell expressed shock at the level of vitriol generated by his move to the LIV Golf tour as he revealed he now receives regular social media messages wishing him dead.
The former Ryder Cup stalwart said he expected consequences from his decision to join the contentious Saudi-backed series, but he did not anticipate "being torn to shreds".
The 2010 US Open champion acknowledged his switch to LIV was "about the money" but he said the negativity around the rebel initiative was drowning out the positive changes it was attempting to make to the game of golf.
McDowell faced intense criticism following his widely publicised defence of the controversial new tour at a press conference ahead of the inaugural event in London last month.
He now says he wished he had said nothing at the press event at the Centurion Club.
The 42-year-old from Portrush was speaking to BBC NI on Monday as he took part in the JP McManus Pro-Am event at Adare Manor in Co Limerick.
"I never really have made my peace with how vitriolic the attacks would be regarding my reputation, on social media the things that I'd said being absolutely torn to shreds," he told BBC NI.
"And it's really hard because I'm being asked questions that there are no right answers to.
"I'm having my moral integrity attacked all the time when, at the end of the day, all I'm trying to do is play golf. I'm trying to make a business decision for me and my family. And, you know, I've paid my dues in this game over the last 20 years, I've tried to carry myself the right way.
"The tenuous links to what the Saudi regime have done, the horrible things they have done, they're trying to link this to golf and playing professional golf.
"It's very difficult when you're in a situation where you're literally being asked questions that there are no right answers to and you're just being torn apart for it."
At the Centurion Club last month, McDowell described the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi as "reprehensible" when he was pressed on crimes and human rights abuses linked to the regime.
But he then insisted that the LIV players were "not politicians" and said he was "proud" to help Saudi Arabia "get to where they want to be".
On Monday, McDowell said: "I don't wake up and feel proud of myself every day. You know, I can't turn on my Instagram or Twitter account without someone telling me to go die. It's been a really tough couple of months.
"But again, I expected it, I knew what the consequences are going to be, I just didn't realise kind of just how heavily this was going to be hammered, trying to answer questions which are unanswerable.
"That's probably the only mistake I made in London at the first event when I was in my press conference - I just wish I'd said nothing.
"I just wish I just sat there and just kind of shook my head and said no comment. But it's not who I am. I always try and be truthful and try to answer questions. I shouldn't have bothered."
The Northern Irishman said professional golf is played in many countries with questionable records on human rights.
"I've played golf all over the world and countries whose human rights records could probably be torn apart as well," he said.
"I've never questioned being in China or being in the Middle East or being all over the world.
"What I do is I play professional golf, I play golf for money. I've chased that money all over the world all my career. I'm 43 next month and, you know, the LIV Golf opportunity was incredibly lucrative. Do I research into the morals of every dollar I've ever made? No, I don't.
"And, unfortunately, because of the competitive threat that this tour is compared to the other tours in the world the negativity has been focused heavily on here and it really hurts to kind of see my name attacked the way it has."

Local students are forsaking winter school holidays to get a head start on their career journey.
Around 35 enthusiastic Year 11 and 12 students from all over Queensland will get a head start on their career journey by attending one of two camps in Mount Isa this week.

The Oresome Minds Camp and the Oresome Trades Camp are being held in the first week of July with the support of Glencore Queensland Metals and Queensland Minerals and Energy Academy the education arm of the Queensland Resources Council.
Students are participating students from QMEA schools in Brisbane, Central and North Queensland, including a strong cohort from Mount Isa's own Spinifex State College and Good Shepherd Catholic College.
QRC Director of Skills, Education and Diversity Katrina-Lee Jones said these two school camps are among the most anticipated and sought-after programs run by the QMEA each year and give ambitious young men and women an opportunity to experience life in a dynamic, innovative and diverse industry.
"The Oresome Minds and Oresome Trade camps are targeted at students in the latter senior school years who are already interested in pursuing an education or training pathway into the resources sector," Ms Jones said.
"By working alongside industry professionals over a six-day period, the activities allow students to deepen their understanding about the opportunities that lie ahead in highly sought-after technical disciplines."
Ms Jones said science and engineering students were participating in the Oresome Minds Camp, which involves four groups of four students visiting Mount Isa Mines and working in teams on a resource-related project assigned by Glencore Queensland Metals.
"This year, new projects focusing on geology and decarbonisation will be included," she said.
"At the end of the six-day camp, the students will display their critical thinking, active learning, complex problem-solving, and public speaking skills as they present their project findings to a panel of representatives from Glencore Queensland Metals' management team."
Glencore Zinc Assets Australia General Manager Human Resources, Clint Milner said experienced tradespeople and apprentices will also attend a six-day Oresome Trades Camp to work alongside 18 students from four schools in the Mount Isa and Townsville regions.
"The Oresome Trades Camp connects students with industry experts as they complete a challenge that incorporates a variety of trade skills such as fitting and fabrication as well as mechanical," Mr Milner said.
"Students will work in teams alongside mentors to modify a pushbike by attaching a petrol engine kit, giving them the opportunity to safely trial some trade-based roles while developing a range of employability skills like creativity, time management, and adaptability."
Spinifex State College Principal Chris Pocock said the camps are an invaluable learning experience for students looking to grow their professional and personal skills in an engaging and memorable way.
"Throughout the Oresome Minds and Oresome Trades camps, students are being faced with a range of challenges with real-world applications that require design-thinking and problem-solving," Mr Pocock said.
"This is an opportunity to show students that once they leave school, they can apply skills they've picked up this week from the QMEA and Glencore Queensland Metals, giving them the confidence to approach and solve realistic challenges using critical analysis, teamwork, and communication."

Dancer Dynho Alves seems to have changed his mind about the invitation he made to his ex-wife, MC Mirella, to record together erotic content to be marketed on adult video platforms. This is because, recently, the ex-participant of “A Fazenda 13”, made a hot proposal to another woman, the ex-BBB21, Lumena Aleluia.
As is known, the DJ announced through her social networks last week that she had also decided to enter the market for marketing intimate content. After that, Lumena declared that she has been the target of attacks on social networks. On her Twitter profile, the ex-sister even made an outburst, reporting a little more about the case:
“In one day working on a platform for adult content, I’ve already received more attacks than when I was at BBB… and I only have one thing to say: FUCK IT!!!!!! I am a free and unencumbered woman”, highlighted the famous. Her outburst reverberated on social media and was shared by some celebrity profiles on Instagram. Dynho Alves, when he came across the text, offered solidarity and even made a “hot” proposal to Karol Conká’s friend:
“That’s it, and are we going to make content together?”, invited the ex-husband of MC Mirella. Upon seeing the a priori questioning, Lumena reserved herself to comment, only using emojis, of fire and a face with a mischievous smile. Seeing her interaction with the ex-Fazenda being reflected on celebrity pages on social networks, Lumena Aleluia again spoke out: “Is this feat authorized?”, wanted to know the ex-BBB. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/05/dynho-alves-exchanges-mirella-for-lumena-aleluia-and-makes-a-hot-invitation-famous/ | 2022-07-05T07:24:16Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/05/dynho-alves-exchanges-mirella-for-lumena-aleluia-and-makes-a-hot-invitation-famous/ | false | 1 |
- OX640 has the potential to provide important benefits to patients and healthcare systems ensuring the correct adrenaline dose is both reliably and conveniently available - for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions
- If approved, the product will target a global growing market, today amounting to USD 2 billion
- Development and commercial partnerships are considered
UPPSALA, Sweden, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Orexo AB (publ.), (STO:ORX) (OTCQX:ORXOY) today announces it has successfully initiated the first explorative human clinical study (OX640-001) for OX640, an adrenaline rescue medication with nasal delivery. The study aims to determine the relative bioavailability and absorption characteristics of investigational OX640 formulations versus an intramuscular adrenaline injection in healthy volunteers.
Adrenaline is commonly used for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. First line treatments today are intramuscular auto-injector products. Since adrenaline is a very sensitive active ingredient that easily undergoes degradation, currently marketed injection products all contain antioxidant chemical additives to help reduce degradation. Despite these additives, and that these products require strictly controlled handling and storage, they still suffer from having limited shelf-life.
Orexo's OX640 product is a nasal adrenaline formulation based on its proprietary drug delivery platform amorphOX®. Stability data generated so far for OX640 strongly indicates the potential for an adrenaline product with significantly improved stability versus today's injection products, both in terms of allowed storage temperatures as well as shelf-life. These encouraging data has been obtained without the addition of any antioxidants.
In addition to offering allergic patients with a product that provides greater flexibility in terms of handling and storage, OX640 provides a less bulky, more convenient and needle-free alternative to auto-injectors.
Robert Rönn, SVP and Head of R&D at Orexo AB, said: "I am very proud that the team at Orexo has, once again, timely allowed us to reach this important milestone. Our nasal adrenaline formulation has the potential to provide allergic patients with a truly improved and differentiated product and we are looking forward to the study results later this year."
The prevalence of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, is a global and growing health problem. The global market size today exceeds USD 2 billion and is expected to show continuous strong growth in the coming years.[1]
Nikolaj Sørensen, President and CEO at Orexo AB, said: "In the development of our rescue medication for overdoses, OX124, the aim was to develop a medicine that is not only faster than the existing alternatives, but also more powerful and with longer duration. Solving this equation led to the development of a novel and unique drug delivery platform, amorphOX®, which in exploratory studies has proven to be very scalable as it works with a broad scope of drugs. Our adrenaline project, OX640, is a very promising example capitalizing on this platform and which open new exciting opportunities that go beyond the treatment of mental illness and substance use disorders."
Orexo are exploring product development and commercialization partnerships. Costs related to the study are included in the company´s OPEX guidance for 2022.

OVERVIEW
Starting on 24 February 2022 the war in Ukraine triggered an unprecedented humanitarian crisis across the country. Between 13 and 26 June the International Organization for Migration ( conducted an area baseline assessment of 888 hromadas* hosting IDPs in Zakarpatska, Lvivska, Ivano-Frankivska, Chernivetska, Kirovohradska, Kyivska, Odeska, Ternopilska, Vinnytska, Volynska, Khmelnytska, Zhytomyrska, and Poltavska oblasts in order to gather initial trends on the number and geographic location of officially recorded internally displaced persons.
This routine assessment supports the targeting and provision of humanitarian assistance to the affected population and serves as a preliminary source to identify oblasts and hromadas hosting high numbers of IDPs.
IOM compiled information on more than 100 000 IDPs in the 18 oblasts covered by Round 6 of DTM Area Baseline Kyivska Dnipropetrovska and Lvivska oblasts have the highest number of displaced each hosting over 180 000 IDPs.
Dniprovskyi Poltavskyi Vinnytskyi Bilotserkivskyi and Khmelnytskyi raions have reported the largest populations of IDPs, with over 65 000 per raion IDPs' most frequent oblasts of origin have been Donetska Kharkivska Luhanska and Kyivska.
The data presented are sourced from official IDP data recorded by hromada officials, likely representing an undercount of those who were forced to flee their homes (see methodology note on page 5). | https://reliefweb.int/report/ukraine/iom-ukraine-internal-displacement-report-area-baseline-report-round-6-5-july-2022 | 2022-07-05T07:29:35Z | https://reliefweb.int/report/ukraine/iom-ukraine-internal-displacement-report-area-baseline-report-round-6-5-july-2022 | true | 3 |

A call has gone out for prequalified contractors to register their interest for work on the Singleton bypass, with both the federal Labor member and state National MP welcoming the progress.
It comes after the Newcastle Herald reported on Saturday that Hunter representatives from three levels of government met with Transport for NSW last week and were assured both the Singleton and Muswellbrook bypasses would be complete in 2026.

Federal Member for Hunter Dan Repacholi said the $700 million joint-funded Singleton bypass would remove one of the region's most notorious bottlenecks.
"This bypass will reduce congestion in Singleton, with around 26,000 vehicles including more than 3700 trucks currently passing through the town on a daily basis," he said.
"The bypass is expected to remove about 15,000 vehicles from the town centre each day, ease congestion and improve safety as well as deliver travel time savings for thousands of motorists."
Mr Repacholi said the New England Highway was a vital link between Sydney and Brisbane, and the primary route connecting the Upper Hunter with Maitland and Newcastle.

"Transport for NSW has been working on revising the design, which now includes a full interchange with Putty Road and a new 600-metre bridge at the southern connection," Mr Repacholi said.
"We are now inviting prequalified contractors to submit registrations of interest to finalise the design and construct the bypass."
The National Party's state Upper Hunter MP Dave Layzell said additional environmental assessments, geotechnical and utility investigations were already taking place, along with a survey to determine final project boundaries and ongoing discussions with affected property owners.
The 8km project will bypass five sets of traffic lights in the CBD and is the largest road infrastructure investment in Singleton's history, Mr Layzell said.
"It's expected to create more than 1370 jobs and will draw on local businesses and contractors where possible, which will also help stimulate the local economy," he said.
Mr Layzell said with traffic volumes only predicted to increase over the next 25 years, the Singleton bypass would both improve the movement of freight and provide swifter and smoother journeys for current and future traffic demands.
"The New England Highway is a vital route for local, freight and tourist traffic alike, so the bypass will improve travel times and the economy at the same time," he said.
"Early work is expected to start later this year and we should see the project open to traffic by the end of 2026."
The federal government has committed $560 million and the NSW government $140 million to the project.

Report: East Africa pipeline ‘breaches banking principles’
By ED DAVEY
Associated Press
A controversial oil project that would connect oilfields in a Ugandan National Park to a port in Tanzania breaches global environmental guidelines for banks, according to a new nonprofit report Tuesday.
The 897-mile (1443-kilometer) East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), planned by French oil giant TotalEnergies and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation has been mired in allegations of human rights abuses and environmental hazard. The 230,000 barrels of oil produced daily will emit 34 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, according to Ugandan nonprofit the Africa Institute for Energy Governance. Construction will take three years, once a final decision has been taken.
At least 20 banks and eight insurers have ruled themselves out of the project, many coming under pressure from environmental groups. South Africa’s Standard Bank and the Japanese Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) are financial advisers and lead debt arrangers. The UK’s Standard Chartered bank is also considering financing it.
All three signed up to the benchmark Equator Principles, voluntary environmental and human rights guidelines for financing infrastructure projects. A report by the non-governmental organization Inclusive Development International, shared exclusively with The Associated Press, says the project repeatedly breaches these principles and banks would violate them too if they go ahead. Banks are forbidden from financing non-compliant projects. But the scheme is powerless to eject members that do.
Oil wells will be drilled within Murchison Falls National Park, western Uganda. Here the Nile plummets some 130 feet (40 meters) through a gap just 20 feet (6 meters) wide, the surrounding wilderness home to hippos, egrets, giraffes and antelope. The pipeline would then pass through seven forest reserves and two game parks, running alongside Lake Victoria, a source of fresh water for 40 million people.
“An oil spill could prove disastrous for the millions that rely on the lake’s watershed for drinking water and food production,” the environmental campaign group 350.org has warned.
The report says the risk of oil spills breaches an Equator Principle requiring minimal environmental impact. A review of the plans by the nonprofit E-Tech International, which advises communities affected by infrastructure projects, found best practice was not followed.
“EACOP oil spills will occur over the lifetime of the project,” the review concluded.
The pipeline’s environmental assessment doesn’t contain a robust oil spill plan, the report’s authors contend, a further breach of the Principles. The pipeline will also traverse an earthquake zone — the Great Rift Valley — the Inclusive Development International report warns.
TotalEnergies said the pipeline’s state of the art design will ensure safety for decades.
The oil has a high wax content, solidifying at temperatures below 91.4 degrees Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius) which would stop oil from spreading as liquid, the company said. Emergency plans are being prepared, the company insisted. Summer temperatures can hit 104 Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) in Uganda.
Human rights standards have also allegedly been broken, according to the report. At least four letters from UN Special Rapporteurs on Human Rights, sent to the Ugandan president and TotalEnergies’ CEO Patrick Pouyanné over two years, detail “various acts of harassment and intimidation” against protesting Ugandans. Numerous activists and a journalist have allegedly been intimidated, forced into hiding, arrested and interrogated.
The Equator Principles are “not being met with regard to the risks facing community members that express criticism,” the report finds.
TotalEnergies said it was unaware of threats emanating from its own staff. The company said it is “vocal about the need” for Ugandan security forces to respect human rights, and had written to the Ugandan president to share its concerns.
“TotalEnergies does not tolerate any threats or attacks against those who peacefully defend and promote human rights,” the statement read.
The Principles have also been violated by a lack of community engagement “free of manipulation, interference, or coercion, or intimidation”, according to the analysis.
More than 120,000 people will lose land to make way for the project, an evaluation by environmental campaign group Friends of the Earth found. There must be “free, prior and informed” consultation with people whose lives may be changed, according to the Principles.
But the report found these requirements were not “sufficiently met”.
The project has “systematically failed” to consult and disclose accessible information, it said.
TotalEnergies said only 13,300 people would be economically impacted across Uganda and Tanzania. Since 2017, meetings have reached over 200,000 affected individuals along the route, the oil major said.
Finally, the project violates standards on land acquisition and resettlement, the report finds. Compensation processes “exacerbated, rather than mitigated” negative impacts, impoverishing villagers who lost access to farmland and faced long delays awaiting compensation.
TotalEnergies said it had already begun paying compensation. The process abides by local laws and is in compliance with the Principles, the company insisted.
Equator Principles chair Amit Puri said each member was “individually responsible for its own internal procedures” to comply. He added that The Equator Principles do not have the authority to respond to concerns about breaching them.
Mr Puri is global head of environmental risk at Standard Chartered, one of the banks that the report says would allegedly be breaching the guidelines by financing the pipeline.
Standard Chartered itself and SMBC declined to comment. The China National Offshore Oil Corporation did not respond to numerous requests for a statement.
Standard Bank said its due diligence on funding the project was being assessed, but no final decision has been made. The decision’s subject to a full assessment of climate change strategies, the bank said, while “full compliance” with the Equator Principles was needed to fund the project.
Despite environmental and human rights concerns, the campaign to stop the pipeline is “unrealistic”, said Angelo Izama, of Ugandan think tank Fanaka Kwa Wote.
“Uganda is being thrust into this role as a poster child for climate damage, and it’s really unfair,” he said.
It amounted to a “dismissal of the national interests of Uganda”.
Ugandan oil officials declined to comment.
But President Yoweri Museveni has said oil wealth can lift millions out of poverty, while other government officials hope Uganda can become a middle-income country.
Efforts to stop the pipeline have left some dismayed at what they see as concerted efforts to sabotage the project.
“TotalEnergies and CNOOC … have the financial muscle and technical know-how to deliver a world-class project” wrote Elison Karuhanga, a prominent oil attorney, in Uganda’s Daily Monitor newspaper.

Do YOU put your pronouns in work emails? Fierce debate breaks out as some insist it's 'jumping on the woke bandwagon' and others claim it invites more discrimination against women
- Debate broke out on Mumsnet over putting pronouns in email signatures
- Anonymous UK-based poster asked people for reasons they don't agree with it
- A number of posters felt the policy forces people into having a gender identity
- Others felt it is fair, and it is an easy way to avoid people being misgendered
An online debate has broken out over whether people should have to put their pronouns in their email signature at work, with some saying it forces people into categories, and others branding it as 'woke'.
The discussion was sparked by a post on the British parenting forum Mumsnet by a user who said she doesn't agree with the policy, and asked others to articulate reasons for this opinion.
She wrote: 'Can someone remind me why some people (likely myself included) does not agree with stated pronouns in email signatures?'
The post prompted a range of responses from fellow Mumsnetters, with some saying that being forced to put pronouns in their signatures made them feel forced to adopt a particular gender identity.
Others said that they feel women suffer discrimination in the workplace as it is, and they don't want to risk reinforcing gender bias.
However, some insisted that it's a simple thing everyone can do to help transgender people feel included.
An anonymous woman (not pictured) sparked a debate on Mumsnet after asking people their reasons for not using pronouns in their email signatures
The poster explained that she did not agree with putting pronouns in her email signature, but asked others to articulate reasons for her
Explaining her position, the original poster wrote: 'It is being requested at work from the perspective of being a small step to being an ally to LGBTQ+ community.
'I just think it is a bit pointless and whilst I have nothing against this or any other community I cannot see what knowing or sharing pronouns really does apart from make you look like a bit of a tit.
'Can someone offer a more articulate explanation please?'
One of the commentators on the post said they felt some people put their pronouns on emails because they are 'just jumping on the woke bandwagon'.
For a number of Mumsnetters, companies making staff use pronouns in email signatures could force people to reveal a protected characteristic they don't yet want to reveal
One explained their point of view, writing: 'It forces those struggling with their gender identity to decide their pronouns when they may not be publicly ready to do so.
'Its bad for females who suffer from unconscious bias as it is.
'It buys into the idea that everyone has a gender identity.
'What other personal characteristics will be asked to be declared in an email signature to show allyship - ethnicity, religion, disability?'
Another agreed, writing: 'No one should be forced to have a gender identity
'No one should be forced to reveal their sex or gender identity. Women may find the assertion of masculinity aggressive.'
Some posters felt that putting female pronouns on their email signatures or other pieces of business correspondence could engender bias
Multiple female posters said they did not want to reveal their gender identity because they felt that women are not treated equally in the workplace, and they did not want to incur that bias.
One explained: 'Because women are generally regarded as less competent than men and their work is often considered inferior to men's, even if the work is identical. The best way for women to be treated as professional is for them not to identify their gender. If a woman can simply be regarded as a person, her work and opinion will be held in higher regard.'
Another added: 'As a woman who has spent decades trying to be professional and overcome the impact of gender bias, I would not want to identify my gender on letters or emails.'
And a third wrote: 'Also what others have said. I don't want to emphasise to people that I'm female when doing business with them. They know I am from my name, but having it there in black and white feels like I'm bringing more discrimination against myself.'
Meanwhile other posters said they believed that putting pronouns in email signatures could be helpful
However, some posters felt that adding pronouns to work email signatures is a positive move, and helps to avoid people being misgendered, while others said they felt some of the tone of the conversation had been transphobic.
One wrote: 'Its supposed to just be a way to support trans people. If only trans people use preferred pronouns in their signatures to avoid being misgendered, it singles them out as being trans. If we all do it as standard it takes away the stigma. It’s a simple thing we can do to make peoples lives easier.'
Another felt that discussing the topic had exposed 'anger, prejudice, and intolerance', writing: 'I am genuinely shocked at the replies on this thread. I assumed the world to be much more tolerant and kind. I know people who live their lives as a gender they were not assigned at birth, and the impact of them doing so on me is nil.
'I know teenagers going through an identity crisis and it feels like a high number young people hitting puberty feel uncomfortable with the associations of the societal construct of the gender they are assigned to. That is a big issue which is really affecting the next generation and one that needs a lot of empathy and support not anger.
'I feel no attachment to my pro nouns - they are words that help us navigate the english language. This is a tricky topic - i do not want to declare my pro nouns and it’s interesting to explore why. But the anger and prejudice and intolerance is not what our society should be about.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10980537/Do-pronouns-work-emails.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-05T07:48:36Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10980537/Do-pronouns-work-emails.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 3 |

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Both delinquency and out-of-home care (OOHC) are associated with a wide spectrum of psychiatric disorders. Reform schools (RS) are Finnish OOHC institutions for adolescents with severe conduct problems. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses among individuals with a history of RS placement. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: The data consisted of individuals placed in a RS on the last day of the years 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006 or 2011 (N = 1074) and a matched comparison group (N = 5313). METHODS: Information on lifetime psychiatric diagnoses, grouped into eight categories, was collected from the nationwide health care registry. The follow-up time ranged from 17 to 44 years. RESULTS: Among RS population, 59.5 % had some psychiatric diagnosis, which was 12-fold compared to general population peers (hazard ratio HR = 12.4). The most prevalent categories were Conduct disorders and/or ADHD (30.7 %, HR = 41.5), Substance use disorders (29.3 %, HR = 16.8,), Other childhood disorders (8.6 %, HR = 11.9) and Personality disorders (10.9 %, HR = 11.6) followed by Mental retardation (6.4 %, HR = 8.4), Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (9.7 %, HR = 7.9), Affective disorders (17.9 %, HR = 7.3), and Disorders of psychological development (6.1 %, HR = 4.4). All differences were statistically significant (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: RS background associates with an excess of psychiatric disorders, which adds to the burden of other known risk factors for adult age well-being. Effective screening and intervention for psychiatric problems should be available both during the RS placement and after-care.

Watch: Jon Voight Demands Biden Impeachment - 'He Has Taken Down Our Morals'
“Midnight Cowboy” and “Deliverance” star Jon Voight addressed the American people Tuesday, posting a video on Twitter expressing his concern for the direction of the country, as well as an attack on America’s morals from the very highest position in our government, among other things.
But perhaps most prominently, he called for the impeachment of President Joe Biden.
“It starts with the seat of the President of the United States,” Voight said. “He has wronged this nation’s glory. He has taken down our morals, our true gift of the land of the free. He must be impeached. We cannot wait another second having him dictate our path.
“Let us work together, get him out, and make this country what she stands for, greatness.”

The actor has never shied away from asserting his political views in the past. In fact, he frequently uses Twitter for that purpose, usually through the medium of short video tweets such as the one above.
For example, he posted a video tweet shortly after the Uvalde shooting.
“It’s not about left, right, guns, no guns. This is about brains that are dysfunctioning,” Voight said. “This is mental. This is not about healthy human beings serving the country with arms to bear, or even the right of this constitution for bearing arms.
“It is a right to use arms with proper purpose to defend one’s safety. We must not allow mental illness to take away our right to bear arms.”

In Sept. 2019, the actor also posted a video in defense of former President Donald Trump when the left was calling for his impeachment.
“War. This is war against truths,” he said. “This is a war against the highest noble man who has defended our country, and made us safe and great again. Let me stand with our president, let us all stand with our President Trump, in a time of such evil words, trying for impeachment. This is a crime that the left are trying to force.”

Although Voight did not specifically say what Biden should be impeached for, in the wake of Biden’s numerous failures in only two years as president, perhaps it does not take much imagination to understand Voight’s meaning.
