This is according to media monitoring company Novus Group’s newly-released South African Broadcast Media Report covering the period from 1 May 2021 to 31 May 2022.
Significant broadcast casualties for the monitoring period include local channel VuzuUZU, which was removed from the DStv platform, and e.tv News & Sport following the restructuring done at eMedia Investments.
International TV news channels saw a significant decline in audience figures with Sky News seeing an almost 33% drop in viewership over the monitoring period.
BBC World News and CNN International also experienced losses in audience figures with 18% and 11%, respectively.
Issued by eMedia 3 Mar 2022
On the sporting side, most of the decline in viewership centred on several soccer channels with SuperSport La Liga (19%), SuperSport Premier League (9%), and SuperSport PSL (8%) seeing the biggest drops.
In contrast, SuperSport Action (28%), SuperSport Football (7%), and SuperSport Blitz (2%) had the most significant increases in audience figures.
From a general TV station perspective, Via (17%) and kykNET (2%) had losses in viewership while Soweto TV (3%) and M-Net (1%) showed increases in viewership.
South African radio audiences grew significantly over the last year.
Heart 104.9FM experienced a 901% audience increase while Radio 2000 saw a 150% increase in audience figures with 1,126 million new listeners tuning in.
Similarly, Metro FM (21%) and Motsweding FM (20%) also experienced significant gains.
Unfortunately, Kasie FM (47%) and Eden FM (46%) had massive drops in listener figures. Other stations experiencing notable drops include Umhlobo Wenene FM (22%) and Jozi FM (21%).
“The past year has certainly been a mixed bag for South African broadcast media,” says Novus Group director, Joe Hamman.
He says there has definitely been more of a focus on local content with audiences preferring this to international news.
“However, some of the significant growth we have seen across several community stations were offset by losses in other community stations reflecting a potential preference for more mainstream radio content,” Hamman says.

Fans all say the same thing as Paige Spiranac bizarrely gives tutorial on eating hotdogs while in American flag bikini
PAIGE SPIRANC showed she is living the American Dream with her Fourth of July hotdog antics.
The golf beauty, 29, was recently named the 'Sexiest Woman Alive' by Maxim and has over 3.4m Instagram followers.
A former golf pro, Paige quit the game in December 2016 but has since become a social media sensation.
She revealed that fans had challenged her to see how many hotdogs she could wolf down in ten minutes as an Independence Day challenge.
But the thought of that "made her gag" - so Spiranac instead gave her loyal fanbase a bizarre showcase in different ways to enjoy the tasty snack.
Taking to Twitter, she said: "Happy 4th of July everyone! So I was asked how many hotdogs I can eat in ten minutes.
"But the thought of that makes me want to gag.
"So instead, I'm going to show you the techniques I have picked up from the best hotdog eaters in the world."
Decked out in a patriotic American flag bikini, Paige goes on to showcase how she likes to enjoy her frankfurters.
These include the 'traditional' and the 'raw dog', with the latter involving simply taking the sausage out the bun.
It's safe to say that fans were divided on Paige's tutorial, with many baffled by the 'dunkaroo' - a method which Spiranac calls "effective but disgusting" and saw her dipping her snack into water.
If that wasn't enough, she upped the ante moments later with the self-explanatory "two dogs, one cup".
'GOD I LOVE THIS COUNTRY'
One Twitter user said: "Two hot dogs dipped in a cup of water? Straight into hell's boiler room."
And another added with a shocked face emoji: "Why are you dipping dry franks in water."
But there were plenty of fans who loved the video and were quick to support Paige for "services to her nation".
One said: "God I love this country."
While another gushed: "Fellas, am I wrong for the sudden wave of patriotism flowing through me?"
Most read in Sport
It's been a whirlwind few weeks for Paige, who was named as the 'Sexiest Woman Alive' on June 14.
She was stunned to win the gong - but hit back at online trolls who abused her for being "fat and ugly" after he triumph.
While Paige fired back at "dumb people" after her comments on a viral video of US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick were misunderstood.
The stunning influencer has been criticized in the past for how she dresses out on the golf course, with some claiming she is over-sexualizing golf. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19097013/paige-spiranac-eating-hotdogs-american-flag-bikini/ | 2022-07-05T12:14:58Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19097013/paige-spiranac-eating-hotdogs-american-flag-bikini/ | true | 2 |

RSMR has added Cohen & Steers Diversified Real Assets to its rated list for the first time, Investment Week can reveal.
The fund was described by the RMSR investment team as a "low cost proposition with real assets", offering investors an underlying portfolio with a broad remit of investee companies in order to capture inflation trends.
These assets include those which both lead inflation and also those which benefit from inflation through contracted income, although there is a risk of an impact on returns through negative economic events.
RSMR issues eight new fund ratings
Within the fund are four key asset classes - commodities, natural resource equities, real estate and infrastructure - all of which are run by specialist internal teams who meet bi-weekly to discuss the wider portfolio.
While the RSMR investment team agrees with the manager that the fund "is not a global macros fund", it highlighted that there were macroeconomic factors that can influence its performance.
It added, the fund could be utilised as a "core solution" within an alternatives allocation as part of a portfolio. | https://www.investmentweek.co.uk/news/4052385/rsmr-adds-cohen-steers-diversified-real-assets-rated-list | 2022-07-05T12:27:45Z | https://www.investmentweek.co.uk/news/4052385/rsmr-adds-cohen-steers-diversified-real-assets-rated-list | true | 1 |

Lactose intolerance people driving the growth of calcium supplements
Calcium is the second largest market in by type segment of bone & joint health supplements and it is expected to grow at 8.4% during forecast period. People those are lactose tolerant are majorly affected by the calcium deficiency because the major source of calcium is dairy products. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive & Kidney Diseases, experts estimate that about 68 percent of the world’s population has lactose malabsorption. Lactose malabsorption is more common in some parts of the world than in others. In Africa and Asia, most people have lactose malabsorption. In some regions, such as northern Europe, many people carry a gene that allows them to digest lactose after infancy, and lactose malabsorption is less common. In the United States, about 36 percent of people have lactose malabsorption. Doctors prescribed calcium supplements along with vitamin D to fulfill the daily need of calcium.
Faster absorption of nutrients through capsules driving the demand for capsules segments
The Capsules segment is projected to grow at 8.4% during the forecast period. Most bone & joint health supplement consumers have the perception that nutrients from capsules are absorbed better than from tablets. Capsules are usually made from animal source gelatin or, if vegetarian, from starch hydrolysate or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant fiber derivative. Hard capsule manufacture does not require expensive equipment, and the procedure can be done in small batches, making it a cost-effective option for personal requirements, small businesses, and large manufacturing companies. Capsules are preferred by consumers because they are easy to swallow. Capsules, particularly liquid-filled capsules, are also considered to work more quickly and effectively. Capsules are a good formulation for nutraceutical companies since they require fewer excipients and manufacturing steps, allow for faster development, and provide more formulation flexibility. In a crowded nutraceutical product market, capsule formulations also provide brand awareness.

Navajo Nation presidential hopefuls gathered at Twin Arrows Casino on June 21 to answer questions about how they would address issues affecting the Navajo economy.
“I think it’s at the forefront of people’s minds,” Change Labs Executive Director Heather Fleming said of the topic. Especially since the Navajo Nation has received funding from the American Rescue Plan, and how it is being disrupted among the tribe.
“I think people want to know what the plan is,” she added. “We’re coming out of a pandemic (and) a lot of small businesses are in a depressed state. What are we gonna do to rebuild our economy?”
Eleven of the 15 Navajo candidates running showed up to the forum, and each of them presented different ideas on how they would approach various topics affecting the Navajo economy, but none of them had a direct plan set in place.
A few of the common themes among the 11 candidates focused on increasing the support for local Navajo businesses, finding better alternatives to extractive industries, and better ways for Navajo enterprises to support the Navajo people.
The candidates who participated included: Dr. Dolly Manson, Dineh Benally, Justin Jones, Buu Nygren, Emily Ellison, Frankie Davis, Leslie M. Tsosie, Ethel Branch, Greg H. Bigman, Frank Dayish, and Dr. Rosanna Jumbo-Finch. The candidates who were not present included Earl L. Sombrero, Kevin Cody, Sandra D. Jeff, and current Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez.
An open poll was set up during the forum where community members could submit questions they wanted to be answered about the Navajo economy, and Fleming said she was really happy to see that a lot of the questions submitted were focused on small businesses and local initiatives.
Each of the candidates had a set time to answer questions submitted by the audience. The candidates drew from a jar to determine the order they would answer the question. Moderators read out the question in English and Navajo. Candidates were instructed to address their answers to the audience.

The first round was the longest of the forum; a majority of the candidates introduced themselves by sharing their chapter affiliations and clans, followed by a brief insight into their platform for the Navajo Nation presidency as well as the Navajo economy.
In the second round of questions, candidates had two minutes to answer, and they were all required to answer one question: The Navajo Nation has been dependent on fossil fuels for revenue and employment. Are you in support of the development of resource extraction and what ideas do you have to advance the economy?
This topic was divided among the candidates. There were some in favor of extraction industries continuing to work on the Navajo Nation, some against it because of the impact it has had on the Navajo people, and some saying it is time to look for other stable ways to support the Navajo economy.
Bigman said that about 40% of the Navajo Nation’s income relied on fossil fuels, so talking about eliminating it right now would have a huge impact on the Navajo Nation’s general fund.
“What this means is that we need to diversify the economy,” he said. One way he proposed to do that is by having the Navajo Nation invest in healthcare, including the incorporation of traditional medicine in the healthcare system.
Jumbo-Finch said the Navajo Nation has experienced the benefits of fossil fuel industries in terms of revenue and jobs, but it’s also had long-term impacts in terms of the health of the Navajo people who have worked in the mines and plants.
“It has a long-term impact on our people and with that long-term impact it creates an issue for our Nation,” Jumbo-Finch said. “We’ve seen the complications that this economy from fossil fuels is causing for our people. We have to be able to find other opportunities.”
One of those other opportunities purposed by Jumbo-Finch includes working with the Navajo enterprises across the Navajo Nation.
“We have 16 enterprises that we continue to invest millions into and we need to start expanding those opportunities with our local governments,” she added.
Nygren spoke almost entirely in Navajo during the forum. One of his points during the second round of questioning included investing more in small businesses across the Navajo Nation.

“I really want to invest in our small businesses because they need access to funding,” he said. “Be sure that Navajo businesses come first.”
The third round of questions was what the hosts called “popcorn style” because each of the candidates was only given 30 seconds to answer one question. The question was: Do you think tribal enterprises help or hurt the Navajo economy?
This question got a mixture of reactions from the candidates, some in favor of how Tribal enterprises work on the Navajo Nation, and others talked about how they are only hurting the Navajo people and economy.
Many of the candidates talked about how the Navajo Nation’s enterprises have done well by being able to provide jobs within the community and that in turn helps the Navajo people.
Branch highlighted how the enterprises are already in place across the Navajo Nation and they are providing stable jobs for Navajo people.
“They’re already providing revenue to our communities,” she said. “I’m not in favor of destabilizing a strong economy and economic gains that our enterprises put into our community.”
But, Branch said she doesn’t agree with Navajo enterprises competing with small business owners across the Navajo Nation.
“We have to build our entrepreneurial path, that is the backbone of every economy,” she added. “We have to actively pursue diversification of our economy.”
On the other hand, fellow candidate Jones agreed that the Navajo enterprises do provide jobs but what he thinks is more important is how they are hurting the Navajo economy.
“They’re a monopoly, people,” he said.
Jones claimed that the Navajo Tribal enterprises are unregulated and they often create regulations for themselves.
“We have to stop that,” he said. “We’ve got to regulate them.”
For the final round of questioning, each of the candidates was given two minutes to answer a question of their choice. They had to choose from three questions:
- What is your knowledge of accessing capital for business development on the Navajo Nation?
- What way are your priorities going to lead towards sovereignty and economic stability?
- Will you rely on extractive industries to create a Navajo economy?
A majority of the candidates chose to answer question two, what way are your priorities going to lead towards sovereignty and economic stability?
The answers gave the audience a little more insight into how the candidates think when it comes to tribal sovereignty and the Navajo economy but it was hard to identify a common theme among them.
Overall, finding ways to diversify the Navajo Nation’s economic standing is what the candidates continued to talk about as the forum was coming to a close. Whether it was working closely with federal entities or making sure leaders invest in local initiatives more.
More than 200 people showed up to hear the candidates talk about the economy, and the forum was hosted by Change Labs and the Navajo Entrepreneurship Coalition as part of their “All Roads Lead to Chaco Canyon” conference.
Thanks for reading TucsonSentinel.com. Tell your friends to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
“The Navajo Entrepreneurship Coalition is a unified effort by Navajo volunteers from Native-led organizations advocating for culturally appropriate business and economic development policies and laws on the Navajo Nation,” their website states.
Change Labs is a nonprofit organization that provides a variety of services to help Navajo and Hopi entrepreneurs succeed in their business ventures.
The forum was the finale of the organization’s two-day conference on the unique landscape of the Navajo Nation’s economy.
Fleming, the executive director for Change Labs, said they wanted to host a forum for the candidates that focused specifically on the Navajo economy because there’s never been this type of forum before.
“I think it’s important that we create opportunities for there to be a focus on the economy,” Fleming said, and that includes more conversations about small Navajo-owned businesses, local Navajo businesses as well as the grassroots economic development initiatives.
Fleming said when conversations are usually presented about the Navajo economy it focuses on the larger initiatives happening on the Navajo Nation, like gaming, extractive industries, and corporations.
This forum was a chance for each of the candidates to be asked questions that are about entrepreneurship, nonprofit leadership, and what type of change can be developed within communities from an economic perspective, Fleming said.
Moderator and Change Labs Director of Business Incubation Jessica Stago said the questions that came in from the audience were impressive and she was proud to know that people are thinking about the Navajo economy.
The economy can mean many things, Stago said, which is why she thought it was a really good experience for audience members to hear from the candidates.
“It feels good to know that the candidates have the economy on their mind,” Stago said. “We heard some great ideas.”
She hopes that hearing from all the candidates will help some of the Navajo voters decide who they want to vote for.
“I think there were some stark differences in the ideas of some of the candidates,” Stago said. “I hope that they (Navajo voters) were able to narrow down their choices to at least align themselves with those candidates that have similar values or similar ideas about the economy.”

With 15 candidates running this year for Navajo Nation president, Stago said she hopes the forum was able to give voters a clear choice.
Navajo woman Dianna Nez, 65, drove out to the forum with her family from Gallup, N.M.; she’s a registered voter with the Coyote Canyon Chapter in New Mexico. She said she was impressed by some of the answers the candidates presented, mostly from Justin Jones and Buu Nygren.
She did have to admit that she was a little disappointed in a few of the candidates’ manners during the forum. She claimed one even stepped on her foot without apologizing and she was surprised to see another wearing a hat throughout the forum.
But, nonetheless, Nez said she looks forward to seeing what the candidates do because “there is a lot of regulations in Window Rock and the president has the right to change it.”
She said she hopes the candidates will consider making some changes because a lot of the regulations the Navajo Nation government operates by were set in place in the 1950s and ‘60s.
“They can change it,” Nez added.
After hearing from all the candidates during the forum, Fleming said she hopes that they’ll create an economic platform because she understands that a lot of candidates aren’t familiar with the Navajo Nation economy.
“It’s clear to me that some of the candidates are running without necessarily a focus on what they’re gonna do for the economy or even understanding what economic development is,” Fleming said. “I feel like we need to expect that from our candidates at this stage. I would love it if there was always a forum dedicated to the economy going forward every year.”
So far three presidential candidate forums have been held and the next forum will be hosted at Diné College in Tsalie, Arizona on June 28.

Michael Ellis and William Wragg on Chris Pincher claims
Opposition MPs heckled and laughed as the paymaster general explained Boris Johnson's handling of the Chris Pincher claims.
Michael Ellis said the prime minister had acted with "probity at all times".
But William Wragg, a vice-chairman of the 1922 committee of backbench Tory MPs, said the government line "changes seemingly by the hour" and said it appeared to have "lost its sense of direction".

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) — A shooter fired on an Independence Day parade from a rooftop in suburban Chicago, spraying the crowd with gunshots initially mistaken for fireworks before hundreds of panicked revelers of all ages fled in terror. At least six people were killed and at least 30 wounded.
An hourslong manhunt during which residents hunkered down in businesses or received police escorts to their homes ended with a traffic stop and brief chase Monday evening, when authorities detained a man they described as a person of interest. They identified no motive for the attack in Highland Park, an affluent community of about 30,000 on Chicago’s north shore.
The July 4 shooting was just the latest to shatter the rituals of American life. Schools, churches, grocery stores and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months. This time, the bloodshed came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its founding and the bonds that still hold it together.
“It definitely hits a lot harder when it’s not only your hometown but it’s also right in front of you,” resident Ron Tuazon said as he and a friend returned to the parade route Monday evening to retrieve chairs, blankets and a child’s bike that he and his family abandoned when the shooting began.
“It’s commonplace now,” Tuazon said. “We don’t blink anymore. Until laws change, it’s going to be more of the same.”
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration.
Among them was the family of Nicolas Toledo, who was in his late 70s and visiting from Mexico when he was shot. He died at the scene, his granddaughter, Xochil Toledo, told the Chicago Sun-Times. Also killed was Jacki Sundheim, a lifelong congregant and “beloved” staff member at nearby North Shore Congregation Israel, which announced her death on its website.
Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap; baby strollers, some bearing American flags, and children’s bikes.
WARNING: The following video may contain graphic content.
“There’s no safe place,” said Highland Park resident Barbara Harte, 73, who had stayed away from the parade fearing a mass shooting, but later ventured from her home.
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said a police officer pulled over Robert E. Crimo III about 5 miles north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man’s photo and an image of his silver Honda Fit, and warned the public that he was likely armed and dangerous. Authorities initially said he was 22, but an FBI bulletin and Crimo’s social media said he was 21.
Police declined to immediately identify Crimo as a suspect but said identifying him as a person of interest, sharing his name and other information publicly was a serious step.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference “several of the deceased victims” died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there.
Police have not released details about the victims, but Toledo’s granddaughter told the Sun-Times that Toledo had spent most of his life in Morelos, Mexico. Xochil Toledo said she remembers looking over at her grandfather as a band passed them playing music.
“He was so happy,” she said. “Happy to be living in the moment.”
Xochil Toledo said her father tried to shield her grandfather and was shot in the arm; her boyfriend also was shot in the back and taken by someone to nearby hospital because they weren’t sure there would be enough ambulances for all the victims.
Roberto Velasco, Mexico’s director for North American affairs, said on Twitter that two Mexicans were also wounded.
Sundheim had spent decades on the staff at North Shore Congregation Israel, early on teaching at the congregation’s preschool and later serving as Events and B’nei Mitzvah Coordinator, “all of this with tireless dedication,” the congregation said in its statement announcing her death.
“Jacki’s work, kindness and warmth touched us all,” the statement said.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn’t have information on the sixth victim.
NorthShore University Health Center received 26 patients after the attack. All but one had gunshot wounds, said Dr. Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Temple estimated that four or five were children.
“It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at a news conference.
“While we celebrate the Fourth of July just once a year, mass shootings have become a weekly — yes, weekly — American tradition.”
Since January, there have been 15 shootings where four or more people have been killed, including the Highland Park shooting, according to The Associated Press/USA TODAY/Northeastern University mass killing database.
The shooter opened fire around 10:15 a.m., when the parade was about three-quarters through, authorities said.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O’Neill, the incident commander on scene, said the gunman apparently used a “high-powered rifle” to fire from a spot atop a commercial building where he was “very difficult to see.” He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building.
President Joe Biden on Monday said he and first lady Jill Biden were “shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day.”
In recent days, Biden signed the widest-ranging gun violence bill passed by Congress in decades, a compromise that showed at once both progress on a long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists.
Crimo, who goes by the name Bobby, was an aspiring rapper with the stage name Awake the Rapper, posting on social media dozens videos and songs, some ominous and violent.
In one animated video since taken down by YouTube, Crimo raps about armies “walking in darkness” as a drawing appears of a man pointing a rifle, a body on the ground and another figure with hands up in the distance.
In another video, in which Crimo appears in a classroom wearing a black bicycle helmet. He says: “Everything has led up to this. Nothing can stop me, even myself.”
Crimo’s father, Bob, a longtime deli owner, ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Highland Park in 2019, calling himself “a person for the people.”
Highland Park is a close-knit community on the shores of Lake Michigan, with mansions and sprawling lakeside estates that have long drawn the rich and sometimes famous, including NBA legend Michael Jordan, who lived in the city for years when he played for the Chicago Bulls. John Hughes filmed parts of several movies in the city, including “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Weird Science.”
Gina Troiani and her son were lined up with his daycare class ready to walk onto the parade route when she heard a loud sound that she believed was fireworks — until she heard people yell about a shooter.
“We just start running in the opposite direction,” she told The Associated Press.
Troiani said she pushed her 5-year-old son’s bike, running through the neighborhood to get back to their car.
“It was just sort of chaos,” she said. “There were people that got separated from their families, looking for them. Others just dropped their wagons, grabbed their kids and started running.”

BERLIN (AP) — Ukrainian mathematician Maryna Viazovska was named Tuesday as one of four recipients of the prestigious Fields Medal, which is often described as the Nobel Prize in mathematics.
The International Mathematical Union said Viazovska, who holds the chair in number theory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, was being honored for her work on the densest packing of identical spheres in eight dimensions.
Viazovska said Russia’s attack on Ukraine in February had profoundly changed her life and those of all Ukrainians.
“When the war started I could not think about anything else, including mathematics,” she said, adding that teaching has offered some respite, however.
“When I’m in front of class, I have to forget about everything else because I have to be very focused,” said Viazovska. “This made me forget about the fear and pain inside myself.”
The other winners were French mathematician Hugo Duminil-Copin of the University of Geneva; Korean-American mathematician June Huh of Princeton; and British mathematician James Maynard of the University of Oxford.
The Fields Medal is awarded every four years to mathematicians under age 40. The recipients are normally announced at the International Congress of Mathematicians, which was originally due to be held in Russia this year but moved to Helsinki instead.
“The ongoing barbaric war that Russia still continues to wage against Ukraine clearly shows that no other alternative was feasible,” the president of the International Mathematical Union, Carlos E. Kenig, said.
Viazovska recently dedicated one of her lectures to Yulia Zdanovksa, a young Ukrainian mathematician and computer scientist from Kharkiv. who was killed in a Russian missile attack.
“When someone like her dies, it’s like the future dies,” Viazovska said. “Right now, Ukrainians are giving the highest price for our beliefs and for our freedom.” | https://www.yourerie.com/news/international/ukrainian-mathematician-awarded-prestigious-fields-medal/ | 2022-07-05T12:53:33Z | https://www.yourerie.com/news/international/ukrainian-mathematician-awarded-prestigious-fields-medal/ | true | 10 |
RICHMOND, Australia (AP) — Hundreds of homes have been inundated in and around Australia’s largest city in a flood emergency that was causing trouble for 50,000 people, officials said Tuesday.
Emergency response teams made 100 rescues overnight of people trapped in cars on flooded roads or in inundated homes in the Sydney area, State Emergency Service manager Ashley Sullivan said.
Days of torrential rain have caused dams to overflow and waterways to break their banks, bringing a fourth flood emergency in 16 months to parts of the city of 5 million people.
Evacuation orders and warnings to prepare to abandon homes were given to 50,000 people, up from 32,000 on Monday, New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet said.
“This event is far from over. Please don’t be complacent, wherever you are. Please be careful when you’re driving on our roads. There is still substantial risk for flash flooding across our state,” Perrottet said.
The New South Wales state government declared a disaster across 23 local government areas overnight, activating federal government financial assistance for flood victims.
Emergency Services Minister Steph Cooke credited the skill and commitment of rescue crews for preventing any death or serious injury by the fourth day of the flooding emergency.
Parts of southern Sydney had been lashed by more than 20 centimeters (nearly 8 inches) of rain in 24 hours, more than 17% of the city’s annual average, Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Jonathan How said.
Severe weather warnings of heavy rain remained in place across Sydney’s eastern suburbs on Tuesday. The warnings also extended north of Sydney along the coast and into the Hunter Valley.
The worst flooding was along the Hawkesbury-Nepean river system along Sydney’s northern and western fringes.
“The good news is that by tomorrow afternoon, it is looking to be mostly dry but, of course, we are reminding people that these floodwaters will remain very high well after the rain has stopped,” How said.
“There was plenty of rain fall overnight and that is actually seeing some rivers peak for a second time. So you’ve got to take many days, if not a week, to start to see these floodwaters start to recede,” How added.
Residents of Lansvale, in southwest Sydney, were surprised by the speed at which their area became inundated and the growing frequency of such flooding.
“Well, it happened in 1986 and ’88, then it didn’t happen for 28 years and, so, 2016 and 2020 and now it’s happened four times this year,” a Lansvale local identified only as Terry told Australian Broadcasting Corp. television of his home being flooded.
The wild weather and mountainous seas along the New South Wales coast thwarted plans to tow a stricken cargo ship with 21 crew members to the safety of open sea.
The ship lost power after leaving port in Wollongong, south of Sydney, on Monday morning and risked being grounded by 8-meter (26-foot) swells and winds blowing at 30 knots (34 mph) against cliffs.
An attempt to tow the ship with tugboats into open ocean ended when a towline snapped in an 11-meter (36-foot) swell late Monday, Port Authority chief executive Philip Holliday said.
The ship was maintaining its position Tuesday farther from the coast than it had been on Monday with two anchors and the help of two tugboats. The original plan had been for the ship’s crew to repair their engine at sea. The new plan was to tow the ship to Sydney when weather and sea conditions calmed as early as Wednesday, Holliday said.
“We’re in a better position than we were yesterday,” Holliday said. “We’re in relative safety.”
Perrottet described the tugboat crews’ response on Monday to save the ship as “heroic.”
“I want to thank those men and women who were on those crews last night for the heroic work they did in incredibly treacherous conditions. To have an 11-meter (36-foot) swell, to be undergoing and carrying out that work is incredibly impressive,” Perrottet said.

WINDHOEK, July 5 — Namibia and Tanzania will soon conclude a bilateral air service agreement which will see Air Tanzania introduce flights to Windhoek, officials said Tuesday.
According to Namibia’s Ministry of Works and Transport, the two countries began negotiations for a bilateral air service agreement shortly before the advent of COVID-19.
“Namibia’s team of negotiators led by the Ministry of Works and Transport has submitted a draft document to their Tanzanian counterpart for confirmation. They have already received the documents and are just doing the final check. It is a done deal, so soon Air Tanzania will start flying to Windhoek. We are hard at work to make sure that will be realized,” the ministry said.
Direct flights to Windhoek by Air Tanzania would also open up the servicing of routes in other regional economic communities, the ministry said, adding that all Namibia-registered airlines will also have access to Tanzanian airports for landing and picking up flights.
“The airports of the two respective countries will also cash in from the landing fees and other commercial activities including ground handling and refuelling,” the ministry said.
Namibia is scheduled to host a cooperation meeting of the two countries in September to discuss and review several agreements aimed at advancing their economies.

Pima County opened a new heat respite center Monday, adding to the nearly three dozen local facilities providing a cool place for those who need to escape the triple-digit heat.
The center is located at Kino Service Center, 2797 E. Ajo Way, and will be operated by the Pima County Health Department each year from May 15 through September 15, according to a memo sent to the members of the Board of Supervisors by Pima County Administrator Jan Lesher.
“Over the course of the pandemic, Pima County Health Department (PCHD) has recognized the importance of building community resiliency and providing targeted access to services within the community for multiple public health conditions,” said Dr. Theresa Cullen, health department director, in the memo. “Extreme heat is both an emerging and present public health threat to Southern Arizona residents.”
The location on Ajo Way will have supplies like sunscreen, water and COVID care kits, which include masks and a COVID test kit, for anyone who needs them. The center will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., except for county holidays.
The Kino Service Center joins the existing respite locations in the Tucson-area assisted by the city, the Tucson Pima Collaboration to End Homelessness (TPCH) and nineteen libraries that have “historically provided informal respite,” according to the memo. Another facility may be opened in a matter of weeks at Tucson’s Rio Nuevo One-Stop Career Center on 340 N. Commerce Park Loop.

Patricia P. Farmer, of Cushing, died peacefully at the Sussman House hospice on May 20, 2022. Pat (how she preferred to be called) lived an extraordinarily rich life of 95 years.
Pat was the only child of John Aldrich Dow and Katherine Orear Dow, descended from 17th-century New England emigrates. Born March 7, 1927, in Winchester, Mass., she grew up in nearby Reading, where her grandfather was the town doctor, in a home modeled after a traditional New England saltbox. She graduated from Middlebury College with a major in fine arts, then met and married Robert Metzger, with whom she had three children, Geoffrey, Alison, and Tory.
She enrolled in the graduate art history program at the University of North Carolina. Another new graduate student, arriving from California, asked if she could bring his bicycle to Chapel Hill from Raleigh’s train station. That student was David Farmer, and it was the beginning of her love for him and a 57-year marriage.
That life included living in Worcester, Cambridge, Chicago, Birmingham, Ala., Santa Barbara, Calif., New York City, three years in Belgium, and finally Cushing, where they purchased a farmhouse on the St. George River in 1983 that they named Left Field. With David she had two more children, Emily and Rachel, in 1967 and 1970. They loved to travel, including much of Europe, North Africa, Mayan Mexico, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. She was an avid hiker and painter, exhibiting locally as one of the Nine Lively Ladies in Rockland’s Eastern Tire Gallery and in Cushing’s Arts in the Barn.
She was an engaging speaker, excellent writer, and ferocious editor, always with a strong sense of humor. In addition to teaching art history, she was a pioneer woman editor and writer on Worcester’s Evening Gazette, a publicist for “The Advocates” (a Boston-based PBS program), cataloguer of a major corporate art collection in Chicago, a university art gallery director in Birmingham and head of publications for Health Sciences Development, Columbia University.
She loved Left Field, which provided a gathering place for family, many now also calling Maine home. In addition to David and her children, she could count eight grandchildren: Lucy, Jasper, Harry, Max, Phoenix, Emerson, Juniper, and Streeter.
As was Pat’s wishes no formal services will be held for her. The family will honor her life privately.
Hall Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 78 Main St., Thomaston has care of the arrangements.

Strasbourg: The
European Parliament on Tuesday ratified landmark laws that will more closely regulate
Big Tech and curb illegal content online, as the
EU seeks to bring order to the
internet "Wild West".
MEPs approved the final versions of the
Digital Markets Act, focused on ending monopolistic practices of tech giants, and the
Digital Services Act, which toughens the scrutiny and consequences for platforms when they host banned content.
"With the legislative package, the European Parliament has ushered in a new era of tech regulation," said German MEP Andreas Schwab, a key backer of the laws.
The DMA will have major consequences for
Google,
Meta and
Apple, the online "gate-keepers" that must now do business according to a list of do's and don'ts intended to make sure smaller competitors can survive.
That text passed with 588 votes in favour and only 11 against with 31 abstentions in a sign of the massive apprehension towards tech giants across the political spectrum.
The DSA will target a wider range of internet actors and aims to ensure real consequences for companies that fall short of controlling hate speech, disinformation and child sexual abuse images.
The digital world "has developed a bit like a western movie, there were no real rules of the game, but now there is a new sheriff in town", said Danish MEP Christel Schaldemose.
It also passed easily with 539 votes in favour, 54 against and 30 abstentions.
Both laws now require the final approval by the EU's 27 member states, which should be a formality.
The legislations had faced lobbying from the tech companies and intense debate over the extent of freedom of speech.
Now the big question is over enforcement with worries that the European Commission, the EU's executive arm in Brussels, lacks the means to give sharp teeth to its new powers.
EU internal market commissioner Thierry Breton downplayed the problem, insisting that teams dedicated to enforcement, in conjunction with national regulators, would be up to the task.
"There will be a before and an after DSA and DMA," he said. | https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/european-parliament-overwhelmingly-ratifies-landmark-tech-laws/92677760 | 2022-07-05T13:10:11Z | https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/european-parliament-overwhelmingly-ratifies-landmark-tech-laws/92677760 | true | 5 |

That text passed with 588 votes in favour and only 11 against with 31 abstentions in a sign of the massive apprehension towards tech giants across the political spectrum.
The DSA will target a wider range of internet actors and aims to ensure real consequences for companies that fall short of controlling hate speech, disinformation and child sexual abuse images.
The digital world "has developed a bit like a western movie, there were no real rules of the game, but now there is a new sheriff in town", said Danish MEP Christel Schaldemose.
It also passed easily with 539 votes in favour, 54 against and 30 abstentions.
Both laws now require the final approval by the EU's 27 member states, which should be a formality.
The legislations had faced lobbying from the tech companies and intense debate over the extent of freedom of speech.
Now the big question is over enforcement with worries that the European Commission, the EU's executive arm in Brussels, lacks the means to give sharp teeth to its new powers.
EU internal market commissioner Thierry Breton downplayed the problem, insisting that teams dedicated to enforcement, in conjunction with national regulators, would be up to the task.
"There will be a before and an after DSA and DMA," he said. | https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/european-parliament-overwhelmingly-ratifies-landmark-tech-laws/92677760 | 2022-07-05T13:10:51Z | https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/european-parliament-overwhelmingly-ratifies-landmark-tech-laws/92677760 | false | 5 |
Koffee With Karan episode 1 promo: Alia Bhatt says she and Ranbir Kapoor were too tired after wedding for 'suhagraat'
- Koffee With Karan season 7 episode 1 will kick off with Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh as guests. The co-stars will reveal a bunch of stuff about their personal lives and more.
Karan Johar has shared the promo for the upcoming first episode of the new season of his hit chat show, Koffee With Karan. The first episode, which will feature Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on July 7 at 7pm. (Also read: Koffee With Karan 7 trailer: Sara Ali Khan says her ex is everyone's ex)
In the promo, Alia Bhatt and Ranveer share a bunch of steamy secrets. Karan introduces them as two married people, just not with each other. While Ranveer married Deepika Padukone in 2018, Alia married Ranbir Kapoor in April. She is also expecting their first baby.
When Karan asked Alia what is the one thing she realised after getting married, she said, “There's no such thing as suhaagraat. You're tired.” When Karan challenged her to speak about ‘my marriage’, she launched into a monologue on Karan's marriage. Karan and Ranveer Singh tell her that she is supposed to talk about her own marriage.
Karan also asks her to choose the actor she has the best chemistry with, Ranveer or Varun Dhawan, when she takes a pause. Ranveer gets offended he is not getting any love from her and threatens to leave.
Apart from Alia and Ranveer, other guests on the show this season will be Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Sara Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor and more. “I'm excited to be back with Koffee With Karan, for an all-new season, keeping up the promise of being the personal celebrity hotspot for over 18 years. This will be a season of all-out candor for a galaxy of stars where there are no brakes to pull. If you want to catch the conversations before they become the next day's headlines, Disney Hotstar is your go-to destination every Thursday,” Karan said in a statement.
Ranveer and Alia will be seen together in Karan Johar's Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahani. The film is slated to release on the occasion of Valentine's Day 2023. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/koffee-with-karan-ep-1-promo-alia-bhatt-says-she-was-too-tired-for-suhagraat-101657019634331.html | 2022-07-05T13:12:50Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/koffee-with-karan-ep-1-promo-alia-bhatt-says-she-was-too-tired-for-suhagraat-101657019634331.html | false | 2 |

TMC seeks probes into ‘presence of terrorist at BJP meet’, Udaipur hate crime
West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Tuesday demanded independent judicial probes into the alleged presence of a terrorist, who was arrested in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi on Sunday, at a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) meeting as well as into the killing of a tailor in Rajasthan’s Udaipur.
Bengal minister and TMC leader Sashi Panja displayed a photo purportedly showing Talib Hussain, the arrested terrorist, with BJP leaders including Union home minister Amit Shah. He claimed this exposed the BJP’s connections with terrorists. HT could not independently verify the authenticity of the photograph.
The BJP on Sunday denied Hussain’s links with the party saying falsely implicating it was a new modus-operandi for Pakistan-based terror outfits.
Panja cited reports that Hussain was in-charge of the BJP’s minority morcha IT cell. “This is a very serious matter. We demand a judicial inquiry,” said Panja. He demanded another inquiry into the June 28 murder of Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor, in Udaipur. Lal was brutally murdered for allegedly supporting suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s derogatory remarks about Prophet Muhammed.
Panja also demanded Sharma’s arrest. “Even the Supreme Court has made strong observations against her but she is being protected by the BJP. The ruling dispensation has suspended her saying she is a fringe element. But it seems the fringe has become the BJP’s mainstream. It has spread communal hatred across India,” said Panja.
Cases have been filed against Sharma at two police stations in Kolkata but she has not responded to summons for appearance before the West Bengal Police citing risk to her life.
The BJP did not respond to the TMC’s demand for judicial probes. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/tmc-seeks-probes-into-presence-of-terrorist-at-bjp-meet-udaipur-hate-crime-101657019279992.html | 2022-07-05T13:15:15Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/tmc-seeks-probes-into-presence-of-terrorist-at-bjp-meet-udaipur-hate-crime-101657019279992.html | false | 2 |

ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Small businesses continued to add jobs in June and worker wages continued to grow at a strong rate, but the pace of growth moderated slightly from previous month. These insights are according to the latest Paychex | IHS Markit Small Business Employment Watch. The Small Business Jobs Index for June was 100.81, up 2.32 percent from over a year ago and -0.06 percent from the previous month.

"The small business economy still is in recovery phase with continued job gains, and, surprisingly, moderating wage gains," said James Diffley, chief regional economist at IHS Markit.
"Our June report shows continued job growth for small businesses. The pace of that growth slowed slightly from the previous month, however," said Martin Mucci, Paychex CEO. "This month's data also showed a slight decline in hourly earnings growth, the first decrease in 13 months. Despite this, growth remains strong, above five percent."
In further detail, the June report showed:

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Gas prices in Lansing have decreased by 8 cents per gallon in the last week, setting the average to $4.91 per gallon.
According to GasBuddy, this number is 9.4 cents per gallon lower than a month ago.
“As expected, and for the third straight week, average gasoline prices have fallen to their lowest level in over a month. The price of wholesale gasoline has plummeted, providing price relief as millions of Americans hit the road for the holiday weekend. While we may see prices decline into this week, the drop could fade soon if oil prices reverse, especially with strong demand over the holiday. For the time being, Americans are spending nearly $100 million per day less on gasoline than when prices peaked a few weeks ago, and that’s well-needed relief at a time when gas prices remain near records.”
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy
The national average price of gasoline has fallen 10.4 cents per gallon in the last week, currently averaging $4.78 per gallon.
The price of diesel is also down 6.3 cents nationally in the past week and stands at $5.72 per gallon. | https://www.wlns.com/news/michigan/lansing-gas-prices-down-8-cents-in-the-last-week/ | 2022-07-05T13:24:15Z | https://www.wlns.com/news/michigan/lansing-gas-prices-down-8-cents-in-the-last-week/ | true | 2 |
DALLAS — Travelers flying home from July Fourth getaways faced flight delays Monday, but airlines were canceling fewer flights than in the days leading up to the holiday weekend.
Since holiday weekend travel picked up on Thursday, airlines have canceled more than 2,200 U.S. flights, and another 25,000 were delayed.
Airports were packed.
More than 9 million flyers flocked to U.S. airports between Thursday and Sunday, peaking at 2.49 million, a pandemic-era record, on Friday, according to figures from the Transportation Security Administration.
By late Monday afternoon on the East Coast, more than 2,200 U.S. flights had been delayed and more than 200 canceled, according to FlightAware.
The good news: Those numbers were down sharply from recent days.
Flying during the peak vacation season has always been challenging. Big crowds and summer thunderstorms can quickly overwhelm an airline's operations. That has been compounded this summer by shortages of pilots and other workers.
“It's not just in North America, it's everywhere,” said John Grant, an analyst for OAG, a travel-date provider based in the United Kingdom. “It's a combination of available resources and demand picking up much more quickly than anyone anticipated.”
Grant said labor shortages in Europe and North America have affected airlines, their suppliers including caterers and aircraft fuelers, airports and air traffic controllers. He sees no reason to think the situation will improve anytime this summer.
In the U.S., the rate of cancellations over the last two weeks is up 59% from the same period in 2019, before the pandemic, likely due to a combination of weather, staffing shortages and air-traffic issues.
However, the rate of delayed flights is only slightly worse than it was in the last summer before the pandemic — 19.7% then, 21.5% now, according to FlightAware numbers.
While some of the disruption was due to bad weather, especially along the East Coast for part of the weekend, airlines also made unforced errors.
American Airlines accidentally dropped pilot assignments for thousands of flights in July because of a glitch in its scheduling program. A spokesman for the airline said Monday that the problem had been fixed and crew assignments had been restored for “the vast majority” of flights. He said the issue had no effect on July Fourth travel.
Ed Sicher, the new president of the union representing American's pilots, said the airline had disregarded their contract by unilaterally reassigning pilots to about 80% of the affected flights.
Sicher said the union and airline are negotiating extra pay for pilots who had trips dropped, then restored during "this debacle.” | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/nation-world/flight-cancellations-ease-july-4-weekend/507-b644b7de-884a-4b3b-9968-22edd3af26c5 | 2022-07-05T13:26:22Z | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/nation-world/flight-cancellations-ease-july-4-weekend/507-b644b7de-884a-4b3b-9968-22edd3af26c5 | true | 55 |

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Spain is increasing military spending as it works toward meeting a NATO commitment by dedicating 2% of gross domestic product to defense, the Spanish government said Tuesday.
Cabinet members approved a one-off expenditure of almost 1 billion euros ($1 billion) for Spain's Defense Ministry that the government said was needed to cover unexpected expenses produced by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Spain has sent military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and deployed more troops and aircraft to NATO missions in Eastern Europe.
NATO leaders agreed at a summit held in Madrid last week to expand their efforts to get all alliance members up to the 2% of GDP mark. Currently, only nine of the Western military alliance's 30 members meet or surpass that goal.
Spain pledged at a NATO summit held in Madrid last week that it would reach the 2% of GDP goal by 2029. That would mean doubling its budget for military spending from the current 13 billion euros ($13.4 billion) to 26,000 billion euros ($27 billion) in seven years.
Spain currently spends 1% of its GDP on defense. Only Luxembourg spends a lower percentage of GDP on defense than Spain in the North Atlantic alliance, according to NATO.
The decision designed to show NATO that Spain is serious about spending more on its armed forces risks causing friction within its left-wing governing coalition, which does not hold a majority in parliament.
Government spokeswoman Isabel Rodríguez said after the Cabinet meeting that the military funding approved Tuesday was adopted "as part of our commitment to a clear and firm response to (the) invasion of Ukraine and to meet the extraordinary costs for our armed forces created by the war.”

Based on the angst offered after some of the franchise’s toughest moments, from unexpected playoff ousters to the departure of LeBron James, Miami Heat President Pat Rikley can come off as somewhat impatient.
And yet, with the Heat linked to possible blockbuster offseason permutations, from Kevin Durant to Donovan Mitchell to other distressed properties around the NBA, there also is a history of waiting to strike.
So with the league less than a week into free agency, and such formal signings not allowed until noon Wednesday, a waiting game continues that could yet reshape a roster that ended this past season one victory from the NBA Finals.
How will Riley know when the time is right? Likely, when it doesn’t come off as a rush job.
Acquiring himself: The first late-offseason trade of the Riley Era involved Riley himself.
On Sept. 1, 1995, the Heat sent a 1996 first-round pick and $1 million to the New York Knicks in order to free Riley from his New York contractual obligations. The Knicks would go on to utilize that pick to select Waler McCarty at No. 19.
The Zo show: Having missed most of the offseason before he joined the franchise, Riley immediately scoured the market for distressed property, with Alonzo Mourning’s contract dispute with the Charlotte Hornets allowing him to seize a moment.
On Nov. 3, 1995, on the eve of his first season as the team’s coach, Riley swooped in to land Mourning in exchange for Glen Rice, among others. By season’s end, the Heat again were a playoff team.
The Aug. 2 factor: Aug. 2 has proven to be a moving day for Riley.
On that date in 2000, Riley dealt playoff mainstays P.J. Brown and Jamal Mashburn, among others, to the Hornets for local product Eddie Jones, Anthony Mason, Ricky Davis and Dale Ellis.
Mason would go on to become an All-Star, with the Heat going on to a 50-32 regular season.
Still going: Later in that 2000 offseason, Riley on Aug. 30 pulled off a late-summer blockbuster, acquiring Brian Grant in a three-team deal with the Portland Trail Blazers and Cleveland Cavaliers that included Clarence Weatherspoon and Chris Gatling being dealt from the Heat.
And back: A year later, on the eve of the season, the Heat reacquired Gatling from the Cavaliers in an Oct. 26, 2001 move that sent out Don MacLean and Davis.
The Shaq deal: Two weeks into the 2004 free-agency period, the Heat completed arguably the most significant trade in the franchise’s 35 seasons, acquiring Shaquille O’Neal from the Los Angeles Lakers in a July 14 trade that sent out Jones, Grant, Caron Butler and Lamar Odom.
Only days before, the Heat downplayed the possibility of such a move.
The massive makeover: On August 2, 2005, Riley waited a month into free agency before the most complex trade in his franchise stewardship, one that added complementary pieces Antoine Walker, Jason Williams and James Posey to the core of O’Neal and Dwyane Wade.
Ten months later, the Heat were celebrating the franchise’s first championship.
Bye, Beasley: Again waiting two weeks into the free agency period, the Heat on July 12, 2010, sent former first-round pick Michael Beasley to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a pair of second-rounds picks. The seemingly innocuous deal created the cap space needed to add forward Mike Miller to what proved to be a championship core.

I work in a coffee shop & customers say the most ridiculous things & make the same mistakes
A COFFEE shop barista has revealed some of the most ridiculous things customers have ever said to her.
Megan Emma Smith took to TikTok and shared a short video which she captioned: "Coffee shop drama."
In the clip, she begins: "Things customers have genuinely said to me working in a coffee shop."
First up, she recalls telling customers that the coffee shop is closing in five minutes, so it's "takeaway only."
The response she received? "Oh would we have to leave then?"
According to Emma, another common mistake people make is the pronunciation of one specific drink...as she's often asked for a "double EXpresso."
Megan also explains how she asks customers whether they'd like their drink to be a regular or large size.
But rather than just answer with one or the other, she says customers reply to her: "Oh just normal."
FABULOUS BINGO: Get a £20 bonus & 30 free spins when you spend £10 today
And perhaps the most outrageous of them all? Megan says some customers will simply walk in and say: "I'll just have a coffee please."
The amusing post has since garnered an impressive 233,000 views and been flooded with comments - with other baristas feeling her pain.
Most read in Lifestyle
"The 'can I have a coffee one' triggers me," joked one.
A second commented: "‘ExTRa HoT’ Americano hurts my brain every time. I can make boiling water any hotter hunny."
In response, Megan quipped: "I CANT HEAT BOILING WATER ANYMORE."
A third wrote: “'Just a regular coffee please'” makes an Americano with milk on side. 'NO a normal coffee, I want a cappuccino.'"
Meanwhile, another penned: "The 'just a coffee' does my head in, we have 6 Brenda just pick one."
A further recalled one of their most ridiculous orders to date: "Can I have a cappuccino without any froth."
And a final social media user added: "A mocha with no chocolate is one that literally made me hand my notice in." | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5705911/i-work-coffee-shop-customers-say-ridiculous-things/ | 2022-07-05T13:40:03Z | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5705911/i-work-coffee-shop-customers-say-ridiculous-things/ | true | 4 |
AVR signs agreement with HaloSep AB to explore feasibility of a local recycling of flue gas treatment material.
AVR has decided to evaluate the possibilities to locally manage its hazardous flue gas cleaning residues through partnership with the Swedish company HaloSep AB. The HaloSep process is a patented solution that turns the hazardous waste into harmless and useful fractions.
By choosing the HaloSep’s solution, AVR in Rotterdam would become more circular by recovering material resources and reducing the plant’s environmental footprint. The HaloSep process treats the fly ash and the contaminated acid scrubber liquid in a patented process, turning the hazardous waste into three harmless and useful fractions. The three fractions are a metal fraction ready for recycling, another is purified salt brine that can be refined and re-used in the industry and the third is a non-hazardous inorganic product that can be used in construction material.
The first step in the partnership starts in June and will return in a feasibility study, conceptual design and including all documents required for the necessary environmental permit process.
“HaloSep developed a very interesting chemical recycling technology for difficult waste streams and is already operational at a waste to energy plant in Copenhagen. This promising technology could perfectly fit in AVR’s strategy to maximizing energy and raw material efficiency and minimizing the CO2 footprint and negative environmental impact. This is a next step to create a clean world in which nothing is wasted”, says Michiel Timmerije, Director Energy Residues at AVR.
Staffan Svensson, President HaloSep AB points out the importance of the partnership with AVR, one of the most reputable waste-to-energy players in Europe and states “We are excited to execute this project together with AVR to the benefit of the environment.”
About HaloSep AB
HaloSep AB is a subsidiary of Stena Metall Group, a Swedish leading recycling company with focus on northern and Western Europe. HaloSep AB offers a unique and sustainable solution managing flue gas residues from WtE plants supporting a circular community.
About AVR
AVR specializes in the processing of various types of residual waste: household and commercial waste, wastewater, paper pulp residue, waste wood and hazardous waste. AVR strives continuously to achieve the maximum recovery of energy, raw materials and other materials from this residual waste through effective, efficient and safe business operations. We ensure that plastics, drinks cartons, films and metals are recycled and minerals are used in (road) construction. And by incinerating the residue of the residue we supply sustainable steam, heat and electricity to our surrounding area and by so doing obviate the use of fossil fuels. In this way AVR makes an important contribution towards the achievement of the Dutch and European goals related to climate and energy.

Stephen O’Donnell has no concerns over Dundalk’s away form ahead of his side’s return to Head in the Game Park on Friday – the venue where they suffered one of their two defeats back in March.
hile the Lilywhites are unbeaten at home this season – winning nine of their 11 games at Oriel Park to date – they have won just twice on the road so far this term.
Asked about this ahead of this weekend’s Louth Derby clash with Drogheda United, O’Donnell replied: “But they're two of our last three away games.
“Could it be better? Of course it could, we could win every game in the league, but we've lost two in 21. Would you have taken that at the start of the season?
“The players are doing brilliant and they're trying their best. This is a group that in pre-season had been, not cobbled together, but put together and they've done great.
“You’d love to win every game but that's not football. We've had a lot more ups than we've had downs this season. They're giving everything. They're emptying the tank every day in training and every week in matches and that's all you can ask for.”
While Dundalk’s defeat to Drogheda at Head in the Game Park, courtesy of a dubious Dean Williams penalty early in the second half, still stings, O’Donnell says that result is a reminder of why his side cannot afford to take the Boynesiders for granted this weekend.
“We were beaten there earlier in the season. That's one of our two defeats so I don't need to tell the players anything different,” he said.
“We've been there once and we got turned over but nothing changes week on week. We treat everyone the same. We train well and we turn up and we try our best. It's that simple and that's what our lads do and that's all that anyone can ask of them.”
Friday’s match is one of two games Dundalk have in-hand over league leaders Shamrock Rovers and fourth placed St Patrick’s Athletic – who they meet the following week. That gives this derby tie an extra edge for the visitors.
“Obviously you want to take advantage,” said O’Donnell.
“There's no point in having games in-hand if you don't take advantage. With the European teams not playing, it's a chance for us, but it's going to be a tough game.”
The head coach is hopeful of having some players back at his disposal for the trip down the M1 having only been able to name six out of nine substitutes for last weekend’s 3-0 win over UCD – something that wasn’t helped by Steven Bradley’s withdrawal before kick-off having felt a twinge in the warm-up.
“It's obviously not ideal when you have to change it around right before kick-off but it happens in football. Joe Adams came in and done really well,” said O’Donnell.
“John Mountney wasn't here tonight, Pat Hoban is out, Brian Gartland has been out and Mayowa (Animasahun) fractured his hand so he was out. We were down a few bodies but we have good quality and we adapted well and the lads who played did very well. A few should be back for next week.”
O’Donnell also said he was hopeful of having top-scorer Patrick Hoban back a lot sooner than the worst case, six-week scenario.
“Pat has a little strain on his quad. Hopefully we can get him back training. He tweaked it against Shamrock Rovers in the first five or 10 minutes. It was testament to him that he ploughed on for 80-odd minutes and had a massive part to play in the winner. They're the type of men we want,” he said. | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/louth/sport/soccer/stephen-odonnell-has-no-concerns-over-dundalks-away-form-ahead-of-drogheda-match-41815145.html | 2022-07-05T13:44:25Z | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/louth/sport/soccer/stephen-odonnell-has-no-concerns-over-dundalks-away-form-ahead-of-drogheda-match-41815145.html | false | 1 |
Firaxis' Jake Solomon says even he gets frustrated when he misses a shot in XCOM
Returning to XCOM, the Marvel's Midnight Suns director says he "felt the ghosts of everybody everywhere looking over my shoulder"Anyone who's played one of Firaxis' XCOM games in the last ten years will have a story about missed shots. Shots that, even with a 90% chance of hitting their target, still end up going wide and punching a hole in your carefully laid plans. In the moment, they induce feelings of white hot injustice, but for many, they're an integral part of what makes XCOM, well, XCOM. Looking back on his time making XCOM 2, however, Firaxis' creative director Jake Solomon tells me that he, too, now feels the pain players have felt for close to a decade.
"It was really interesting for me to return back and play XCOM a couple of years ago, and man, when I missed shots, I was unbelievably frustrated. I felt the ghosts of everybody everywhere looking over my shoulder," he says.
I was speaking to Solomon as part of my Marvel's Midnight Suns preview, Firaxis' next turn-based tactics game that's releasing on October 7th. Solomon is heading up that project as well, but the key difference between XCOM and Marvel's Midnight Suns is that the latter won't have any kind of hit percentages. Instead, all attacks are guaranteed, and after playing the game for four hours during my preview session, I'm happy to report that this style of combat not only gives you greater command of the battlefield, but it also lets you pull off some properly rad combo attacks with your trio of superheroes.
This isn't a reaction to XCOM, mind. You're playing as a group of superheroes after all, and superheroes don't miss. But having now made both XCOM and what Solomon refers to as an "opposite XCOM" with Marvel's Midnight Suns, he offered some surprisingly candid insights into the merits and flaws of both types of game when I asked him which one was more fun to make.
"I did play [XCOM] a couple of years ago, and this was after we implemented the new mechanics for Midnight Suns, and it was really tough for me to get my head around the fact that in XCOM, you can actually do things wrong. And you really can’t do things wrong in Midnight Suns. You can do them better, but an attack card is an attack card. [...] It’s not like straight out wrong. And I think XCOM has, maybe it has higher highs, but it definitely has lower lows in the sense of, 'Oh you did that wrong, and by the way, the way to do it right is you need to learn a mechanic that’s not on the surface.'
"So, it’s not that it’s better or anything, but it was really interesting for me to return back and play XCOM a couple of years ago, and man, when I missed shots, I was unbelievably frustrated. I felt the ghosts of everybody everywhere looking over my shoulder, but I was unbelievably frustrated, and it did make me appreciate the fact that in Midnight Suns it’s still very deep and very tactical, but there is a [sense of] like, 'Okay, I can jump into this.'"
Somehow, I feel better knowing that even XCOM 2's director shares in the same pain we do when playing their game. Next time I miss a 95% hit shot, I'll just think back to this chat and go, "Yeah, me too, Jake, me too."
You can read more of what Solomon has to say about Midnight Suns in my extensive hands on preview with the game, including how its card-based battle system works, and how Firaxis are incorporating extensive RPG elements into the game's overarching strategy layer between missions. It's a thrilling mix, and Marvel's Midnight Suns continues to be one of my most anticipated games of 2022. I can't wait to play it in full when it launches on October 7th. | https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/firaxis-jake-solomon-says-even-he-gets-frustrated-when-he-misses-a-shot-in-xcom | 2022-07-05T13:44:59Z | https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/firaxis-jake-solomon-says-even-he-gets-frustrated-when-he-misses-a-shot-in-xcom | false | 1 |

Jennifer Lopez, queen of daytime looks with a long skirt
MESSIGOAL / SplashNews.com
Jennifer Lopez Y Ben Affleck They are still looking for a new car. The couple has already been seen several times in recent weeks on the streets of Los Angeles visiting dealerships and testing cars until they find one that completely convinces them. but this time not only the singer and the actor have gone, but they have also been accompanied by their children who seem to be very excited about this new purchase. But what has caught our attention the most in this new excursion has been JLo’s look formulated by a long skirt perfect for a day plan like this.
As a good fashion expert and following the line with which we have been seeing her in recent days in search of the ideal car with long and very original looks, JLo this time has chosen to combine a very tight basic black t-shirt with a skirt that has revolutionized her entire outfit, turning it into an ideal set for a day plan like a shopping trip with friends or an afternoon of cocktails on a terrace. We have loved this skirt for many reasons and one of them is that it is perfect for both tall and short women because it has a long legs effect and thanks to its print, combining smooth stripes in black and red with leopard print, you can create a look with a lot of personality and you will only need a basic blouse to go divine.
for the shoes, JLo has once again opted for esparto wedges in black, her best ally in these errands since the artist likes to gain a few centimeters in height and she does it wonderfully with wedges that have all the appearance of being super comfortable and manage to lift the look to the top.
And to complete the look, a luxury bag. JLo has taken her Birkin for a walk from Hermès in black, the unbeatable complement to reach a diva style.

DALLAS, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust (NYSE: NXDT) (the "Company") announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued an order, effective July 1, 2022, enabling the Company to complete the transition of its business to a diversified real estate investment trust ("REIT").1 The Company's common and preferred shares will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbols NXDT and NXDT-PA, respectively.
"We are grateful for shareholders' support and recognition of the benefits of the REIT structure," said Matthew McGraner, chief investment officer of NexPoint Real Estate Advisors. "We are excited to finalize the transition and continue to grow NXDT alongside NexPoint's real estate platform."
On a net asset value basis including dividends, the Company delivered a total return of 258.65% over the past 10 years.2 During that time, the Company operated as a "real estate incubator," investing in assets that represent NexPoint's top real estate themes and strategies. Management believes the REIT structure provides additional opportunities for the Company to create value for shareholders while continuing its established investment approach in real estate assets.
As a publicly traded REIT, management believes that the Company is likely to be added to REIT indices, which may enhance the liquidity of the Company's common shares and improve transparency regarding value.
There are several positions within the Company's portfolio where management sees significant upside potential. Those include Cityplace Tower, an iconic office tower located in Uptown, Dallas. NexPoint is redeveloping the property and has been negotiating lease terms with several high-profile tenants. The project includes plans to develop a five-star InterContinental® Hotel within the building. Another notable asset is the Company's position in VineBrook Homes Trust, Inc., a single-family rental company that owns over 21,000 homes in 23 markets.3 Additionally, the Company has significant positions in two private self-storage companies, including NexPoint Storage Partners, the product of NexPoint's take-private acquisition of former publicly traded self-storage REIT Jernigan Capital, Inc. in November 2020.
The Company benefits from NexPoint's robust real estate platform, which provides access to an extensive network of institutional investors, top investment banks, and competitive brokerage firms, as well as the talent and expertise of NexPoint's real estate investment team, which has significant experience in the REIT space. NexPoint also serves as the external adviser to two other publicly traded REITs: NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. (NYSE: NXRT) and NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc. (NYSE: NREF). Both were largely formed within NXDT before launching as standalone public REITs. Since their launches, NXRT and NREF achieved total returns of 460.00% and 35.31% respectively.4
Additional information on NXDT's transition to a diversified REIT can be found in the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2022.
Additional information on the Company can be found on NXDT's website at nxdt.nexpoint.com or in the Company's filings with the SEC available at www.sec.gov.
About NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust (NYSE:NXDT)

As part of this transition, the Company changed its name from NexPoint Strategic Opportunities Fund to NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust, effective November 8, 2021. The Company also changed its ticker symbol from "NHF" to "NXDT." On July 1, 2022, the SEC issued a deregistration order declaring that the Company has ceased to be an investment company and that the Company's registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 shall immediately cease to be in effect. The order, effective July 1, 2022, allows the Company to finalize its transition to a diversified REIT and begin trading as a REIT. For more information visit nxdt.nexpoint.com.

Flood-weary residents assess the damage after Sydney's recent deluge
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
SYDNEY, July 5 (Reuters) - Sydney resident Kevin has endured four floods in his home within the last six months. His yard is filled with filthy debris and he points to grime on the walls of his house up to the height of his shoulders caused by the flood waters.
He left his house on Tuesday as one of thousands of residents in New South Wales, mostly in Sydney's western suburbs, who needed to evacuate or were warned that they might receive evacuation orders. read more
Kevin, who gave only his first name, and who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, had planned to move following three recent floods in his suburb of Camden. But moving companies were unable to agree on a date, which resulted in Kevin's belongings becoming damaged by the latest deluge.

"Of course I've had enough... It's all over, I'm going to move," Kevin told Reuters.
The latest wild storm cell -- which brought a year's worth of rain in three days to some areas -- is likely to ease in Sydney from Tuesday, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) said. But the risk of flooding could remain through the week with most river catchments already near capacity even before the latest deluge.
The wild weather also affected fellow Camden residents, Gai and Kim Peters, who filled the footpath in front of their home with flood-damaged furniture and a mattress as they began to clean up. They purchased the house just over two years ago.
Gai said she was "absolutely devastated".
"It's really hard... We're just doing one day at a time, getting through it. We've got a lot of family that have come and (are) helping… we'll get through it."

VICTORIA - The BC General Employees Union, one of the largest unions representing public sector workers in British Columbia, says talks with the government have broken down.
A statement from the union says negotiations with the Public Service Agency, which bargains on behalf of the province, collapsed Monday.
The BCGEU was armed with a 94.6 per cent strike mandate when the two sides met last week.
The statement says initial discussions were positive, but the government refused to counter the union’s latest wage proposal and talks hit an impasse.
Union president Stephanie Smith says a cost-of-living clause and wage protection from inflation are key demands for the 33,000 members of the public service bargaining unit, but the government’s offer amounts to a wage cut.
The statement says the BCGEU is now planning strategic, targeted job action and finalizing essential services with the assistance of the Labour Relations Board.
More than 180 collective agreements covering nearly 400,000 workers must be renewed in B.C. this year.

Clinically Proven Dark Spot Reduction in 4 Weeks
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PCA SKIN®, a leader in professional peel treatments and transformative daily skincare products, introduces their latest advanced corrective, Pigment Gel® Pro; a clinically-proven formula designed to target and combat stubborn discoloration across all skin types and tones.
"Our latest breakthrough innovation delivers a dramatic reduction in the appearance of discoloration, including dark spots, brown patches, age spots, skin yellowing, and uneven skin tone in as early as 4 weeks," says Joanna Zucker CEO of CP SKIN Health Group US. In addition to the reduction of discoloration, Pigment Gel® Pro helps to fade the size and intensity of dark spots while helping protect against the appearance of new dark spots.
As part of CP Skin Health Group, under the parent company Colgate-Palmolive, when setting out to create a new targeted dark spot solution, the team tested over 74 ingredients to combat discoloration concerns. From those, R&D utilized a combination of the 10 most efficacious ingredients and created the formula for our SynerPro Complex.
PCA SKIN® Pigment Gel® Pro is powered by this proprietary technology containing efficacious levels of advanced ingredients to deliver a visibly dramatic reduction in the appearance of stubborn discoloration. The key ingredients found in the SynerPro Complex include Hexylresorcinol, Purified Licorice Root Extract, Tranexamic Acid, and 4-Butylresorcinol. Thanks to this unique blend, the industry-leading formula uses multiple modes of action to effectively target stubborn discoloration for all skin types and tones, resulting in a radiant complexion.
"The new Pigment Gel® Pro offers our patients a powerful punch of combined ingredients to help with sun damage and discoloration, all without hydroquinone," says Dr. Joel L. Cohen, MD (FAAD, FACMS), Director, AboutSkin Dermatology /AboutSkin Research. "The efficacy and tolerability is in this combination of ingredients, like tranexamic acid and lactic acid, formulated with niacinamide for skin calming. It's a great complement to laser and light (like Q-switched and BBL) as well as in-office peel treatments. It has an overall synergistic effect in improving benign dark spots, especially on the face and hands."
As part of our dedication to results-oriented skincare, PCA SKIN® rigorously tests each new formulation to ensure they are proven as effective. Pigment Gel® Pro was tested on 48 female participants between the ages of 18 and 86 with Fitzpatrick types I-VI in a clinical study conducted by Dr. Zoe Draelos. The clinical study evaluated the product's effects on the skin when applied twice daily over 16 weeks.

Karamoko Dembele has confirmed his departure from Celtic by signing for French top-flight club Brest.
The 19-year-old’s Celtic Park contract expired this summer and he has signed a four-year deal with Brest, who finished 11th in Ligue 1 last season.
There were high hopes for Dembele at Celtic following some eye-catching performances in the academy teams and the attacking midfielder turned out for the under-20s at the age of 13.
Neil Lennon then handed him a first-team debut at the age of 16, but he departed having played only 10 first-team matches.
Dembele looked like he might stake a claim under Ange Postecoglou 12 months ago but he suffered an ankle injury in a heavy challenge during an early pre-season game and eventually had to undergo surgery.
The London-born player made two substitute appearances in March but there was no sign of a major first-team breakthrough and his departure comes as little surprise.
Dembele told his new club’s website: “I have come to Brest because I saw that the project presented by (sporting director) Greg Lorenzi was good.
“It’s something that suits me and I think I can have some playing time here. It was a great opportunity that presented itself to me and it interested me.”
Dembele has represented both Scotland and England at youth level and is also eligible for Ivory Coast.
Meanwhile, there are concerns over the future of another midfielder who departed Celtic Park this summer.
Tom Rogic pulled out of Australia’s successful World Cup play-off campaign in June for personal reasons and Socceroos head coach Graham Arnold has yet to hear from the 29-year-old.
Rogic surprisingly quit Celtic in May for a new challenge and is yet to sign for a new club.
Quoted by Fox Football in Australia, Arnold said: “I haven’t read anything, I haven’t seen anything… I texted him and didn’t get a reply. I am concerned about Tommy but I know the PFA are looking into it.”
Arnold plans to finalise his World Cup selections after Australia meet New Zealand in a double header in September with Rogic among his key players in recent years. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4499848/karamoko-dembele-leaves-celtic-to-join-ligue-1-club-brest/ | 2022-07-05T14:01:25Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/sport/4499848/karamoko-dembele-leaves-celtic-to-join-ligue-1-club-brest/ | false | 5 |

Supermarket customers are claiming the prices they are being charged at the till are higher than the labels on the shelves because prices have gone up and staff haven't had time to update the labels. The problem has been reported at a number of different supermarkets - including Aldi and Asda - with inflation now meaning food prices are rising rapidly.
One supermarket has been seen selling Lurpak at more than £9 a packet, and Sainsbury's has warned that the cost of living crisis is not over.
Raising the issue on the Reduce Your Supermarket Spend Facebook page, one shopper said: "Has anyone else noticed the supermarkets are not keeping up with replacing the prices given on the shelf for items and then when you go through checkout it puts another price on.
"It's happened a few times and when I question it, the reply is that they haven't got round to changing it yet. There also doesn't ever appear to be staff in the supermarkets to ask where they have changed items."
Many shoppers said the same had happened to them, reports MEN.
"Orange and apple juice cartons price differently under the tills and on the shelves," one said. Supermarket staff said they don't have the time or people to keep up.
"Unless you've worked in a supermarket you don't understand how hard it is," said one. "So please be kind to staff for a start. Legally the increased price should be labelled. These get priority for changing the tickets. If it's decreased it's less priority legally. Stores struggle specially if there's a lot of holiday, sickness etc."
Another said: "I work in retail, and I agree, it's not what it was, not going into detail but yes, people forget that we got them through the pandemic with food, going in, risking our health to keep the shelves full, whilst having customers cough, sneeze and reach over to get what they want, now, it's price increases, every day I'm there, there's comments on how much food has gone up by, yes, we know... we are in the same boat as you."
Oli Townsend, assistant deals and features editor at MoneySavingExpert, said: “Stores sometimes make mistakes when labelling prices, or forget to replace old labels when there’s been a price change.
"When you get to the checkout, if you find the price is more than it says on the shelf label, the shop doesn’t have to give you the item at the cheaper price. It’s still worth explaining that it’s a lower price on the shelf and asking the store if it’ll honour it though.”
An Aldi spokesperson said: “If any customer believes the price of a product is incorrect we would encourage them to speak to one of our colleagues in store or contact our customer services team who will be happy to help.
“We are the lowest priced supermarket in Britain and our customers always pay less for their shop at Aldi than they would elsewhere. This is why we were named the Cheapest Supermarket of the Year by consumer champion Which.”
A spokesperson for Asda said: "In any instance where the shelf edge price is different to the price that comes up on the till we would honour the price on the shelf. If customers believe they have been charged a different price to that shown on the shelf they should speak to a colleague who will be able to issue a refund there and then."
Abuse and violence towards shop workers and service staff is on the rise again as new penalties come into force, according to research.
A quarter of staff who have faced increased hostility said they believe this increase is partly due to the sharp increase in the cost of living and stress this has placed on customers.
New figures from The Institute of Customer Service revealed 44% of frontline service staff have experienced hostility from customers in the past six months – a rise from 35% in February 2022.
It comes as new powers come into force, which will allow for large penalties to be handed to customers who attack and abuse shop workers.
The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 was given royal assent in April.
The policy change came after a host of retailers, including the Co-Op, reported a surge in attacks on workers during the pandemic.
Tensions are continuing to rise and this is thought to be linked with declining consumer sentiment amid the cost-of-living crisis, according to the Institute for Customer Service.
Jo Causon, chief executive officer of the institute, said: “Today’s change in the law is a reason for celebration for all those who campaigned for service with respect for our nation’s hard-working, frontline service professionals.
“These new stricter sentencing guidelines will provide vital protection for workers against a backdrop of heightened customer stress and frustration relating to rising prices, and falling levels of service due to widespread skills shortages.
“I worry that UK businesses are becoming trapped in a Catch-22 situation, with tensions boiling over into abuse that triggers staff absences leading to further frustration.
“We must break this cycle, by acting together as a society to offer our support to hard-pressed, frontline workers.”
The new research, from a poll of more than 1,300 customer-facing staff, found that over a third – 35% – believe that behaviours and tone has become more aggressive over the past six months.
Meanwhile, 33% of workers who have experienced hostility cited higher levels of anxiety among shoppers as a trigger for customer hostility and a quarter (25%) specifically linked it to price increases.
Ms Causon added: “As a nation, we find ourselves at the mercy of stock and staff shortages related to global and domestic issues.
“These issues aren’t going away, and so price rises and inflation will be on the cards for many months yet.
“To prepare for this, I urge employers to adopt a zero-tolerance approach to hostility, ensuring their employees are trained to handle difficult situations when they arise.” | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/supermarket-prices-shelf-higher-time-7294449 | 2022-07-05T14:04:31Z | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/supermarket-prices-shelf-higher-time-7294449 | true | 2 |

- Judge Mawabo Malangeni has acquitted four men accused of killing Mthokozisi Ntumba during a protest in Braamfontein in March 2021.
- The judge said there was no direct eyewitness evidence or witnesses implicating the accused.
- Ntumba had just left a consultation at a clinic when he was shot dead, allegedly by four police officers.
The Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg has acquitted the four police officers accused of killing Mthokozisi Ntumba during a student protest in March 2021.
Ntumba was killed in Braamfontein during student protests over historical debt.
He had just left a doctor's consultation at a clinic when he was shot dead, allegedly by the officers.
Tshephisho Kekana, 27, Cidraas Motseothatha, 43, Madimetja Legodi, 37, and Victor Mohammed, 51, faced charges of murder and attempted murder.
The State alleged that three students, who were waiting outside the Johannesburg Institute of Engineering and Technology College, were also shot and injured on that day.
After the State closed its case, the accused who had pleaded not guilty, and chose to remain silent, decided to bring an application in terms of Section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Act to be discharged.
READ | Cops accused of killing Mthokozisi Ntumba amid student protest want case thrown out
Acting Judge Mawabo Malangeni granted the application.
During his lengthy judgment, Malangeni said the case needed to be dealt with on its own merits.
He said, in the video footage which was presented to court, the identity of the officials was unknown as they were wearing masks and in police uniform.
He said when the footage was played, no one had identified the accused, adding that the court could also not see any of the officials firing the shots.
"In these proceedings, there is no direct evidence in the form of eyewitness or witnesses, I mean to say that there is no person to say he or she saw the accused persons or any of them committing the offences in question," the judge said.
"The State's case is premised from circumstantial evidence, being the video footage."
Malangeni said there had been 21 police officials on duty that day and there was no evidence that the accused were given different ammunition and firearms.
The firearms used on that day were shotguns with rubber bullets, he said.
He said ballistic analyses of the firearms should not have been confined to the accused, but to all 21 officers.
He also questioned why the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) only charged four people, because there had been more officers at the scene.
The judge added:
"Fortunately, courts do not base their decisions on public opinions and/or media reports, but on what has been presented before them."
Malangeni found the accused not guilty and discharged them on all counts.
As he handed down his ruling, the accused appeared nervous, with some keeping their heads bowed.
But when the verdict was handed down, the accused broke into smiles, with one saying he was not scared to pose for photos anymore.
Meanwhile, Gauteng NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said they would study the judgment and, if there was an "indication that a fault at law might have been committed, then it will be used as grounds to appeal".
"For now we cannot confirm whether we are taking the decision on review or not, up until we have studied the judgment and applied our minds."
Advocate Thomas Mahope, representing Kekana, said what had happened was an "unfortunate incident that left people hurt and pained, but the law has taken its course".
Advocate Emmanuel Netshipise, for Motseothatha, said: "I am relieved because these manifest that justice has been achieved for the accused, the public at large and their families. This just reinforced a long-standing legal principle that the prosecution cannot be commenced without the minimum of evidence required to convict the accused person."

England have announced themselves as a powerful Test team with the change in leadership.
England skipper Ben Stokes was all appraise for his team at the post-match presentation for chasing down a record target of 378 against India in the fifth Test match at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
The hosts chased down the target within 77 overs scoring at almost five runs per over. This was their highest run chase in Test cricket history and the highest run chase by any team against India. The Three Lions have now also chased down targets of more than 250 on four consecutive occasions.
England chased targets of 277, 299, and 296 against New Zealand in the recently concluded Test series. The series also marked the captaincy debut of Ben Stokes who plans to revolutionise Test cricket in the country.
Speaking to Mark Butcher at the post-match presentation, Stokes said, “We are trying to rewrite how Test cricket is being played in England. All our plans from the last four-five weeks is what we want to take ahead.
“We know that we want to get a new life to Test cricket and the support we have received has been fantastic in the short time we’ve been around. Inspiring the next generations is what we want to do. We want to bring in new fans and want to leave a mark on Test cricket"
Stokes also highlighted that while taking ten wickets is important, the orthodox techniques can be tweaked. “Bowling on the top of off isn’t important, at the end of the day, it is all about taking ten wickets.”
Stokes also showered praise on the batting unit that successfully chased down the mammoth target with the loss of just three wickets. Jonny Bairstow and the run-machine Joe Root stitched another century partnership in a fourth-innings run chase, as the duo also managed to reach their individual centuries.
“When the lads play like this, it makes my job easier. When you have clarity like we have in the dressing room, it makes chasing totals like this easier. 378 would have been scary five weeks ago, but now it's all good,” Stokes added.

The openers also managed a partnership of 100 runs which set up the chase and gave a platform to the middle-order batters. “Jonny and Root will get all the credit, but the precedent was set up by the way the openers played against Bumrah and Shami with the new ball. It is all about taking wickets and taking ten wickets," Stokes answered to Butcher.
England have announced themselves as a powerful Test Team with the change in leadership – Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum taking over. However, they do not have a chance to qualify for the final of the second cycle of the World Test Championship to be played in 2023. England currently stand seventh on the table with 33.33 percentage points.

England also rewarded 34-year-old Lancashire seamer Richard Gleeson for his rich-wicket haul in the T20 Blast 2022 (second-highest wicket-taker with 20 scalps in 12 games) with a maiden T20 call-up.
No announcement had been made by the BCCI regarding Rohit Sharma’s availability in the India-England fifth Test. The Board has not yet announced a stand-in captain either.
Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow smashed unbeaten tons while stitching a fourth-wicket stand worth 269 as England pulled off their highest chase in Test cricket to level the five-match series. | https://www.firstpost.com/firstcricket/sports-news/we-are-trying-to-rewrite-how-test-cricket-is-played-stokes-lauds-englands-dominant-performance-10874291.html | 2022-07-05T14:14:43Z | https://www.firstpost.com/firstcricket/sports-news/we-are-trying-to-rewrite-how-test-cricket-is-played-stokes-lauds-englands-dominant-performance-10874291.html | true | 1 |
Dow 30 Stocks Listed and Ranked By 2022 Hedge Fund Bullishness Index
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.

In this article, we discuss the Dow 30 stocks and their rank according to the 2022 hedge fund bullishness index. If you want to skip our review of these stocks and the latest market situation, go directly to 15 Dow Stocks Listed and Ranked By 2022 Hedge Fund Bullishness Index.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, also known as the 'Dow 30', is one of the most widely-watched benchmark indexes that represents the overall health of the U.S economy. The index consists of 30 blue chip companies that boast a long track record of stable earnings, and whose performance is critically tied to that of the overall economy. The index was started in 1896 by Charles Dow and his business partner Edward Jones, and is preceded by only one index, namely the Dow Jones Transportation Average.
The price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen by more than 16% so far this year, which is its biggest drop for the first six months of the year since 1962, due in part to inflation touching 40-year highs in May. In a bid to control spiraling prices, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 0.75 basis points on June 15, the biggest hike since 1994. This has put immense pressure on consumers' pocketbooks and companies' earnings alike, leaving little opportunity for gains in the current environment.
Still, hedge funds which employ the best brains in the financial world and put millions of dollars into market research are making moves in the stock market, dumping risky stocks and positioning their portfolios to weather the current storm. In our list below, which includes names such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT), and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ), we've ranked the 30 components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average according to their hedge fund sentiment.

30 blue chip stocks which represent the Dow Jones Industrial Average are listed in ascending order of hedge fund sentiment.

Dow 30 Stocks Listed and Ranked By 2022 Hedge Fund Bullishness Index
30. Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TRV)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 37
Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TRV) is a New York-based company which engages in the provision of property and casualty insurance, and was founded in 1853. It was downgraded to 'Sell' from 'Neutral' by Goldman Sachs analyst Alex Scott on June 6, who noted that TRV has less upside to further margin improvement and could possibly start to see its margins deteriorate as property and physical damage severity trends have an impact. He reduced the price target on the stock to $170 from $190.
Out of the 900+ elite hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey, 37 reported ownership positions in Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TRV) as of the end of Q1 2022, with a collective price tag of $631.7 million. This shows a negative trend from the previous quarter, when 40 hedge funds held TRV stakes worth $618.5 million. With 3.1 million shares valued at $568 million, First Eagle Investment Management was the top shareholder of Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TRV) in the first quarter.
Along with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT), and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ), Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TRV) is an interesting Dow 30 stock to watch.
29. Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBA)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 38
Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBA) is a pharmacy and beauty retail chain operating in the United States and internationally. Its shares offer an impressive dividend yield of 5.07% as of July 1. The company reported on June 28 that the much-discussed $6.7 billion proposed sale of its Boots drugstore chain in the United Kingdom had been terminated amid the current uncertainty in the financial markets.
Several hedge funds were disposing their stakes in Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBA) during Q1. At the end of March, 38 hedge funds held collective stakes in WBA worth $736.9 million. That was down from 42 hedge funds with over $1 billion in positions a quarter earlier. Camber Capital Management was the leading Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBA) shareholder in the first quarter, with 2.4 million shares valued at more than $107 million.
Aristotle Capital Management talked about Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBA) in its Q1 2022 investor letter. Here is what was said:
“We first invested in Walgreens Boots Alliance in early 2013. Over our holding period, Walgreens merged with U.K.-based Boots Alliance, establishing itself as a global leading retail pharmacy chain. CEO Stefano Pessina set the company on a path of pursuing strategic partnerships (as opposed to vertical integration deals) to increase store traffic and to, over time, transform the business into a neighborhood health destination around a more modern pharmacy. Using its strong FREE cash flow generation, the company ramped up its investments in technology, aiming to accelerate the digitalization of health information. Mr. Pessina was not successful, however, at turning around the firm’s U.S. retail segment and had to deal with increasing prescription drug reimbursement pressures. He stepped down as CEO in 2020, and in 2021, Roz Brewer took the reins of the firm. We admire Ms. Brewer’s impressive track record at companies that include Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) and Walmart (Sam’s Club). However, given management’s decision to divest core cash-generative businesses and redeploy capital to embryonic healthcare startups, we prefer to step aside while we follow the company’s progress.”
28. Dow Inc. (NYSE:DOW)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 39
Dow Inc. (NYSE:DOW) is a materials science company which deals in performance materials, coatings, industrial intermediates and infrastructure, as well as packaging and specialty plastics.
At the close of the first quarter of 2022, 39 out of the 900+ hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey reported long bets on Dow Inc. (NYSE:DOW) shares, with aggregate positions worth $851.3 million. This showed a negative trend from the previous quarter, when 43 hedge funds were bullish on DOW shares. With 6.28 million shares valued at more than $400 million, Pzena Investment Management was the biggest shareholder of Dow Inc. (NYSE:DOW) in Q1 2022.
27. International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 43
International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) is a New York-based information technology giant which was founded in 1911. It deals in the provision of computer hardware, software, IT research and financial services in over 171 countries around the world. The company's shares pay out a solid dividend that yields 4.67% as of June 30. IBM stock was given a 'Buy' rating by BofA analyst Wamsi Mohan in April with a $165 price target. The analyst expects sustained revenue growth for the company beyond 2022, and noted that its defensive portfolio can outperform in a tricky economic climate.
At the end of the first quarter, 43 out of the 912 hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey held stakes in International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM), with a combined value of $1.16 billion. This is down from 44 hedge funds a quarter earlier. Arrowstreet Capital was the largest shareholder of IBM in the first quarter, after boosting its stake in the company by 36% to come in at 4.46 million shares worth $579.9 million.
In its Q4 2021 investor letter, here is what St. James Investment Company had to say about International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM):
“IBM was not the first company to build computers. The distinction belongs to Sperry-Rand’s subsidiary UNIVAC, which introduced the first commercially successful computers in the early 1950s. In this era, IBM did possess the largest research and development department of the business machines industry and quickly caught up, introducing cost-competitive computers a few years after UNIVAC. By the late 1950s, IBM held the dominant market share in computers. IBM also touted a vastly superior sales organization, which used a sales tactic called “paper machines” (the equivalent of today’s “vaporware”). If a competitor’s product was selling well in a market segment that IBM had yet to penetrate, the company would announce a competing product and start taking orders for the “paper machine” long before it was available.
One cannot overstate how powerful IBM was in the computer industry in the 1950s and 1960s. Every competitor rightly worried that if their product worked too well for too long, it was only a matter of time before an army of IBM salesforce representatives mobilized. In their easily recognizable uniforms of starched white shirts, red ties and blue suits, IBM marketers marched on their customers and offered a more expensive, but much more defensible, choice. “Nobody gets fired for buying IBM” was a common phrase. Even competitors acknowledged that the company excelled at sales. As a UNIVAC executive once complained, ‘It doesn’t do much good to build a better mousetrap if the other guy selling mousetraps has five times as many salesmen.’” (Click here to see the full text)
26. Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:HON)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 50
Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:HON) is a multinational conglomerate based in North Carolina, which deals in a wide range of products and services including building technologies, performance materials, aerospace, and safety and productivity solutions.
As of the end of March, 50 hedge funds held positions in Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:HON) with a combined worth of $1.76 billion. In contrast, 51 hedge funds owned $1.89 billion worth of stakes on the company a quarter prior. D E Shaw held 2.13 million shares of Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:HON) in the first quarter with a price tag of $415.6 million, making it the firm's largest shareholder. Two Sigma Advisors was also a noteworthy shareholder with a $301 million position.
ClearBridge Investments talked about Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:HON) in its Q1 2021 investor letter, stating:
“The portfolio’s quality bias and valuation discipline have generated compelling returns over time with typically strong relative results in more challenging environments as it did through the first three quarters of 2020. However, that same quality bias tends to create a more challenging relative performance environment for the Strategy during periods of sharp economic acceleration, which tend to benefit stocks that are more commodity linked or of lower quality. This has been the case during the vaccine- and stimulus-driven rally experienced late last year and during the most recent quarter. Sectors that lagged in the quarter included industrials, Honeywell also lagged in the quarter after previously generating strong returns over extended periods.”
25. 3M Company (NYSE:MMM)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 51
Based in Minnesota, 3M Company (NYSE:MMM) is a global diversified technology company which manufactures products in the fields of safety and industrials, transportation, and electronics. It is a renowned dividend payer, offering a 4.61% yield to shareholders as of June 30 and boasting 63 consecutive years of dividend increases.

“The energy sector, which led a strong market in 2021, generated even more dramatic relative performance in the quarter, advancing 39% and leading the benchmark Russell 1000 Value Index. Years of restrained investment in the energy sector, combined with a strong post-pandemic recovery, contributed to the higher commodity prices. The upward pressure escalated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Our energy holding Chevron (NYSE:CVX) benefited from higher commodity prices and was among the top contributors to first-quarter performance.”

In its Q2 2021 investor letter, investment firm Oakmark Funds discussed the market position and prospects of Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT), stating:
“Having followed the company closely for north of a decade, Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) is a name we know well. For much of its history, the operating efficiency of the company left much to be desired, but its underlying competitive position was rarely in doubt. A series of actions over the past decade (e.g., LEAN implementation, improved service mix, optimized manufacturing footprint) helped to narrow the gap between Caterpillar’s potential and its realized results, driving material margin expansion and strong share price performance. In our view, the company remains among the highest quality industrials in the market, but its underlying business is cyclical, which can translate to large swings in both performance and investor sentiment over short time periods. Our ability to focus on the long-term, sustainable earnings power of a business (rather than getting distracted by near-term fluctuations) is our most significant edge when investing in cyclical businesses. Due to the inherent volatility in Caterpillar’s end markets and operating performance, we suspect we’ll have a future opportunity to own this high-quality business at a more attractive price once the cycle turns and today’s enthusiasm wears off.”

“Over the last year, we have repositioned our portfolio to navigate the course we see ahead. We added to more defensive areas of the portfolio like consumer staples (Coca-Cola). While the next month or two will likely prove choppy on account of the Omicron variant, we believe that Omicron, like Delta, represents a speed bump on the way to recovery rather than a true change in course. We see strong economic momentum continuing in 2022 and we expect interest rates to rise. After a decade of remarkably low rates, we would not be surprised if this change in direction is accompanied by some fits and starts in the markets. With our emphasis on pricing power, purposeful sector exposure, valuation discipline, and a strong dividend profile, we believe we are well-positioned for the year ahead.”

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 66

As of the end of the first quarter, 66 hedge funds from the database of Insider Monkey owned stakes worth $1.74 billion in Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO).

With a $331 million position, AQR Capital Management was the most prominent shareholder of Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) in the first quarter.
Hayden Capital, an asset management firm, mentioned a few stocks in its Q1 2022 investor letter, and Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) was one of them. Here is what it said:
“During the height of the tech bubble, Cisco’s stock peaked at ~$80 in March 2000, reaching up to a $500BN+ valuation (~26x Price / Sales, with ~17% operating margins or 156x operating profits). However, by the time it bottomed in September 2002, shares were trading at just ~$8.60 per share (~3.2x Price / Sales, ~21x operating profits). A little over a year later, the share price had doubled to ~$20, but then continued to trade around those levels in a range for the next 10 years.
So why were Amazon and Mercado Libre able to recover so quickly from their large draw-downs, while Cisco’s stock price remained anemic?
It seems the answer is in their differing growth profiles in the years afterwards. For example, Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) revenues were $18.9BN in 2000, $22.3BN in 2001, $18.9BN in 2002, $18.9BN in 2003, and $22.0BN in 2004. By contrast, Amazon was able to grow its business by ~120% in the 3 years after the stock bottomed, and Mercado Libre grew by ~118% in the following 3 years. For Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO), it wasn’t until 2012 (11 years later) that revenues managed to double (to $46BN) from its original peak. Compare this to Amazon, who during those same 11 years, managed to grow its business 22x.”

In total, 67 hedge funds reported bullish bets on the athletic goods company, with combined investments worth $3.98 billion. That was down from 68 hedge funds a quarter earlier.
Clearbridge Investments highlighted a few stocks in its Q4 2021 investor letter, and NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:
“NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) is another play on e-commerce as well as the anticipated growth in consumer spending as we learn to live with COVID-19. After selling out of the stock in 2016 due to competitive concerns, we were motivated to repurchase shares because of optimism around a new management team’s focus on accelerating Nike’s shift toward e-commerce and direct-to-consumer (DTC) distribution. Near-term supply chain issues in Vietnam and retail weakness in China that we see as ephemeral provided a good buying opportunity. We do not believe the market is giving proper credit to Nike’s potential to deliver attractive, high-single-digit revenue growth while delivering operating margin expansion as more merchandise is sold direct. NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) is also still under indexed to the women’s category, which we see as a significant ongoing catalyst.”

There’s nothing more sacrosanct across Israeli society than the IDF. Whereas any and every issue in the country becomes a political hot potato between the reigning government and the opposition in the Knesset, security considerations are supposed to rise above the rhetoric and vitriol.
Despite its faults and blemishes, there is no doubt that the army does a superlative job in safeguarding the country and protecting its borders. And at the top of the military pyramid is the chief of staff, who oversees it all.
The tenure of current Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi is coming to an end in January. As is the protocol, Defense Minister Benny Gantz is tasked with naming his replacement and securing a smooth transition at the helm of Israel’s military.

Herzi Halevi, former deputy chief of staff Maj.-Gen. Eyal Zamir and former OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Yoel Strick.
It should be a routine process that results in choosing the best candidate for the job. However, nothing is routine in Israel. The government has dissolved and there’s an election set for November. Gantz, as he should have done, requested permission from the attorney-general to appoint a new IDF chief of staff during election season on the basis of national security considerations.
It’s the right thing to do. As we know all too well, the upcoming election might not lead to the formation of a new government by January 1, when a presumptive new defense minister would appoint the next chief of staff. That would put the whole military system in a precarious position. An appointment in the next few months, Gantz reasoned, would allow a normal transition period between the chiefs. It would enable the new chief to pick a new deputy chief to take over various day-to-day operations.
Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara is said to be in agreement with Gantz’s request and is likely to approve it.
In addition, Defense Ministry legal adviser Itai Ofir on Sunday sent Baharav-Miara his legal opinion, stating that Gantz could appoint a new IDF chief of staff even with elections on the horizon. Ofir’s opinion gave a classified survey of the security challenges confronting the country, which he said would be exacerbated if selecting a new chief is delayed.
However, the issue has turned political and petty. Two Likud MKs demonstrated that the IDF is not above their petty political considerations. Yoav Kisch and Shlomo Karhi have both attacked Baharav-Miara for not rejecting Gantz’s request outright.
As Yonah Jeremy Bob reported in The Jerusalem Post, Kisch said the attorney-general would be fired by a new government led by Benjamin Netanyahu if she dared to approve Gantz’s request, which he said would show she was taking a clear political side.
Karhi said the Likud would fire her no matter what because it would seek to replace all appointees of the current government, which it views as illegitimate since it was not led by Netanyahu, whose party won a plurality of the most Knesset seats.
To his credit, Prime Minister Yair Lapid quickly defended Baharav-Miara, saying he was “sure that the legal establishment would continue to act professionally, objectively and put the interests of the state first, as it has done until now.” Likewise, Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar likened Kisch’s threat to “gangsterism.”
Gantz, a decorated former chief of staff himself, is certainly qualified – together with the cabinet – to decide who should be the next IDF chief of staff, while considering what would be best for the country and its security.
To suggest otherwise is an affront to the integrity of not only Gantz, but the whole military apparatus. The security of Israel is far too important to be subjugated to petty, partisan politics. A new chief of staff appointment cannot wait until a new government is formed after the next election, or the one after that.
Gantz should be given authority to proceed with the appointment now. Regardless of the chaos in the Knesset, the IDF must not be affected. After all, it really is sacrosanct. | https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-711271 | 2022-07-05T14:17:42Z | https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-711271 | true | 1 |

Thirty-five years ago, Leadership Oklahoma was founded with the vision of bringing leaders from around Oklahoma together and expanding their knowledge about critical issues in the state.
“It has been a great privilege to have served as Chairman of the Leadership Oklahoma Board of Directors,” said Evans. “I am incredibly proud of our accomplishments over the past year.

There's nothing like a dose of sunshine to inspire a mass beauty bag overhaul. We're upgrading our SPFs, switching from powders to tints, quenching our curls, and upgrading our showers with a £4.95 ginger-laced body bar. Let the sun shine!
"Is it a dog toy, is it a head massager, is it a sex toy? When this strange-looking instrument arrived in the post and I saw the Hayo'u label, I knew that whatever it was, it would make me feel amazing inside and out. Turns out it’s a body drummer, that founder, Chinese medicine expert and healer Katie Brindle discovered on one of her many trips to China and perfected to ease our Western ailments such as stiffness and sluggishness. Who doesn’t have tight muscles, stubborn cellulite and fat, water retention or sluggish lymph? The body drummer can help shift them all. I loved the way it effortlessly bounced off my thighs, stomach tight shoulders, tenderising them like a steak, leaving me energised yet relaxed. I already own two Hayo'u Body Tappers, which I use to perk up my energy and circulation in the morning, but this is tapping on steroids. If you have a person in your life who has everything, guaranteed they won’t have one of these. Buy one gift one, that's what I'm doing." Victoria Woodhall, GTG Editorial Director
The water-based powder: Refy Skin Finish, £22
"Refy is back with another must-have launch; from brows to lip kits, influencer and founder Jess Hunt has nailed it yet again. These new Skin Finish powders are a water-based formula. I know, powder + water-based aren't typically heard together. However, they've been around, although niche, for a while; Becca Cosmetics (RIP) had a popular water-based powder a few years ago.
"The ability to hydrate sets this apart from the more common talc or silicone face powders. You instantly feel a cooling, wet sensation. It’s light, natural and provides a nice blurring effect on pores. You can choose between two translucent universal shades based on your undertones, shade 01 for yellow or warm undertones and shade 02 for pink or cool undertones. You apply with a dry, not damp sponge to set your face. It’s just what I need to create the of the moment TikTok 'clean girl aesthetic' (essentially no-makeup makeup)." Jemma Thompson, Design and Social Media Manager
The glowy face SPF: Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Sunscreen SPF50 , £31
“We all know (or should know) that SPF is the most important step in our skincare routine. I won't leave the house without it on. This new SPF50 mineral sunscreeen from Glow Recipe has become my firm favourite and leaves no white cast on my olive skin. It gives skin a gorgeous glowy finish and works well as a makeup primer, without breaking up throughout the day. Star player, niacinamide works to brighten and even out skin tone - a reassurance for me considering I suffer from hyperpigmentation. For maximum hydration, I apply this after my moisturiser, but if your skin is on the oily side I would suggest skipping moisturiser altogether - this hydrating formula behaves like skincare so it's unlikely you'll need both. I'm carrying it everywhere with me this summer!" Amy Rostas, GTG Beauty and Social Media Assistant
The tinted lip balm: Glossier Lavender Balm Dotcom , £10
"I’m seeing purple hues all over the lookbooks this spring, and it’s no surprise that Glossier is in on the game too. The newest addition to the Balm Dotcom tinted lip balm lineup - the first time we’ve had a new flavour since 2019 - is a super relaxing lavender. It’s got the slightest hint of purple but nothing OTT or too dark. Better still, if you’ve been lusting after a Glossier hoodie like me, they’ve also released some limited edition merch to coincide; comfy sweaters, cosy socks AND a glossy lip? Sign me up. The balm does it all but feels especially hydrating and soothing on chapped lips and when I say it lasts forever I’m not exaggerating, a little goes a very very very long way! " Catherine Fulwood, GTG Commercial Projects Manager
The dolphin skin stick: Dior Stick Glow Limited-Edition Blush Balm in Opal Glow, £30
"I usually leave directional beauty l trends such as dolphin skin to my younger Get The Gloss teammates. My makeup regime is more about restoring lost colour and glow rather than any type of artistry. Yet with this illuminating stick, I somehow seem to have gone full porpoise in the best possible way. My skin reflects enough light to power the National Grid. This is more than a highlighter, it’s like a beam of light – opalescent, almost wet-look rather than glittery or powdery and dry. I can’t get enough of it on my cheekbones, nose, forehead, over my blusher. It’s limited edition, but they really should make it part of the permanent collection." VW
The modern mousse: Larry King Hair My Nanna’s Mousse , £19
“Hair mousse has historically had a bad rep; crispy, stiff hair? No thanks. But there’s a new generation of thoroughly modern mousses on the scene, with formulas that add just the right amount of grit and hold to give you full, thick (and crucially, shiny) hair, without weighing it down. Case in point: hairstylist Larry King’s latest offering: My Nanna’s Mousse. King is responsible for looking after the hair of some seriously sexy people: Gigi, Cara, and Karlie (to name a few), but the inspiration behind this lightweight, thickening mousse is his nan’s big bouncy blow-dry. I use a tiny amount (about a two-pence-coin’s worth), and scrunch it through wet hair before blow-drying. It leaves me with a lot more volume than I'm used to, and keeps my style in place for most of the day. But you can’t tell there's any product in my hair, which is key! It’s time to give the mousse a second chance, people." Verity Clark, GTG contributor
The multitasking tint: Typology Tinted Balm in Coral Orange , £16.30
“I’ve never been a lover of cream or gel blushes, preferring to ‘dust and run’ in the mornings rather than finger-paint my face with colour. But since discovering this little multipurpose balm I’ve carried it everywhere with me. Its pack-a-punch pigment unnerved me at first, but it leaves lips with a not-too-glossy tint and warms cheeks with the perfect matchy-matchy natural flush. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and raspberry seed extract, the colour doesn’t dry out by the end of the day and can be topped up without the worry of it gathering in patches. It’s available in four other shades (Ruby Red, Powder Pink, Dusty Pink, and Plum Purple), but I find the vibrant coral offering (surprisingly) wearable.” Cassie Powney, GTG contributor
The curl-quenching conditioner: Kristin Ess Hair Moisture Rich Curl Conditioner , £10
“I adore the Kerastase Curl Manifesto range, but let's be honest, that stuff is expensive, and with the amount of conditioner my long, thick curly hair needs, I would need to remortgage my house to keep my supply stocked up for the year. The answer to my prayers is Kristin Ess's Moisture Rich Curl Conditioner. This product is reasonably priced and ticks all the Curly-Girl boxes of hydration and shine. The creamy texture can be worked easily through the hair, but I noticed it made the biggest difference to my ends - they were easier to detangle and my curls 'popped' after styling. It's also free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and silicones, as well as being vegan and PETA approved. Fine for use on coloured hair, too - it's a real all-rounder." Hattie Sloggett GTG Contributor
The invigorating body bar: Weleda Ginger and Petitgrain Shower Bar, £4.95
"I’m a big fan of using a solid bar, whether it’s a cleansing bar for my face or a bar of soap for my body. They travel well and are a quick win for cutting down on unnecessary plastic in my beauty routine. These new solid body washes from organic skincare brand Weleda are the equivalent of 300ml of shower gel - that’s a lot of showers! Made with 100 per cent plant-based ingredients, including shea butter and glycerin to keep skin lovely and soft, there are four scents to choose from. My favourite is the spicy-on-your-senses ginger and petitgrain for a morning pick-me-up." VC
The soothing oat cleanser: Q+A Oat Milk Cream Cleanser , £7.50
“I wouldn’t describe my skin as sensitive, but I use chemical exfoliants and retinol sparingly, and stock up on soothing skincare that feels like it’s giving my face a gentle stroke, not melting the top layer of my skin off (to each their own). This cleanser is my latest find, fortified with a triple blend of soothing oat-derived ingredients: organic oat milk, oat seed oil, and sodium lauroyl oat amino acids (an alternative to the harsher surfactants found in some cleansing products). You can apply it to either wet or dry skin, but I like to massage mine into dry skin, emulsifying it with water and wiping it off with a warm (not hot) cleansing cloth. Just dreamy.” CP
The lipstick-serum hybrid: Sann Beauty Nourish + Tint Solid Lip Serum , £24
“In all my years as a makeup artist turned beauty writer, I have never developed a great love of lipstick. I find it drying, prone to smudging, and quite frankly, a waste of my time. I do, however, love a dab of colour in the form of gloss, balm or serum. Sann Beauty has created the perfect combination of nourishing ingredients and impressive colour, in a unique amalgamation of all that I love. This non-sticky, hydrating formula is packed full of active ingredients. There's cannabis sativa seed oil which helps relieve skin inflammation and meadowfoam seed oil for protection against pollution and the sun. Its aim is to strengthen skin barrier and soften fine lines, while also delivering a subtle plumping and lifting effect. Available as a stand-alone solid serum or in three dewy colours (my favourite is Wild), pop this handbag-friendly wonder at the top of your must-have list.” HS
The daily self tan for face Typology Progressive self-tanning serum
10% DHA + carob pulp extract , £18
"With summer looming, and 27 degrees on the forecast I definitely need a bit of help with glowy tanned skin. I’ve been working my way through some of the new tanning serums, drops and oils for the face. This Typology serum has come out on top. It absorbs quickly without staining hands or eyebrows. As I am naturally very fair, I’m conscious of my face being a totally different colour from my body, but I found it was subtle enough to use every day. I found it best applied at night, however under makeup in the morning also works if you forget as I did. The formula is a combination of ten per cent DHA and carob extract, which is said to enhance the appearance of your tan. The 30ml bottle is perfect for weekend trips as it fits perfectly in your makeup bag!

Posted Jun 30, 2022, 7:34 am
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Biden administration has the right to end a Trump-era immigration policy that forces asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico as their cases make their way through U.S. immigration courts.
In a 5-4 ruling, the justices ruled against Texas and Missouri, which had argued that the Biden administration violated the law by rescinding the program, and sent the case back to the district court to determine if terminating the policy violated any administrative laws.
But the justices determined that the government’s cancellation of the Migrant Protection Protocols, also called “remain in Mexico,” did not violate a section of immigration law that Texas and Missouri had used to argue that the Biden administration illegally ended the program.
It’s unclear if the Biden administration will try to end the program immediately or wait for the lower court to rule.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the three more liberal justices in the majority.
The program was launched by the Trump administration in January 2019. After President Joe Biden took office, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas canceled the program in June 2021.
That led Texas and Missouri to sue the Biden administration in April 2021, arguing that canceling MPP violated administrative and immigration laws and that without the program, human trafficking would increase and force the states to expend resources on migrants — such as providing driver’s licenses, educating migrant children and providing hospital care.
In its ruling, the Supreme Court sent the case back to the district court to determine if terminating the policy violated any administrative laws.
Support TucsonSentinel.com today, because a smarter Tucson is a better Tucson!
The case reached the Supreme Court after a federal district judge in Texas ruled last year that the Biden administration violated immigration law by not detaining every immigrant attempting to enter the country. In August 2021, U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk ordered the Biden administration to reinstate the policy.
The Biden administration argued it has the discretion to end the program and that it was not an effective way to deal with migrants seeking asylum.
About 70,000 asylum-seekers have been sent to Mexico through MPP, leading to refugee camps on the Mexican side of the border, where many migrants became targets for kidnappers and drug cartels. Since the program resumed in December, immigration officials have enrolled just over 5,100 migrants as of May 31, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.
Human Rights First, a New York-based organization, recorded 1,544 cases of killings, rapes and kidnappings of migrants who were forced to remain in Mexico between MPP’s launch in January 2019 and January 2021, when the Biden administration initially suspended the policy. One woman enrolled in the program told The Texas Tribune that she had been raped by a Ciudad Juárez police officer as she waited in Mexico.
On average, it takes five years for a migrant to get a decision on their asylum case. Under a new plan that went into effect this year, the Biden administration’s goal is to wrap up asylum cases within six months for some asylum-seekers.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a separate lawsuit against the Biden administration on April 28 to attempt to halt the new asylum plan. Kacsmaryk, who is based in Amarillo, is also overseeing that case, which remains pending. | https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/063022_scotus_mpp/supreme-court-sends-biden-admins-push-end-remain-mexico-back-texas-judge/ | 2022-07-05T14:30:23Z | https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/063022_scotus_mpp/supreme-court-sends-biden-admins-push-end-remain-mexico-back-texas-judge/ | false | 4 |

Renters face tough conditions ahead as they have fewer homes to choose from at the same time rents hit record highs.
The national rental vacancy rate is at its lowest point on record for the fourth consecutive month at 1 per cent, the latest Domain Rental Vacancy Report shows.
While all capital cities remain in a landlords’ market, Sydney’s vacancy rate held at its lowest point on record at 1.4 per cent.
Melbourne declined for the sixth consecutive month from 1.6 per cent in May to 1.5 per cent in June, more than halving compared to a year ago.
Vacancy rates remained steady in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Darwin, while they increased in Hobart and Canberra.
It comes as separate figures from CoreLogic found capital city rents rose 9.1 per cent in the year ending June and regional areas rose 10.8 per cent.
Domain’s chief of research and economics Dr Nicola Powell said the return of overseas migration and international students continues to put pressure on demand as most rent upon arrival.
“We had a tight rental market when we had no overseas migration. They have returned and have placed additional demand,” Powell said.
She said while Sydney’s vacancy rate remained low, it could be stabilising and perhaps at a turning point as it has not deteriorated unlike Melbourne.
But Powell was hopeful rental conditions could stabilise due to investment helping to add supply, while new first home buyer policies could shift rental demand.
“While it is still very much a landlords’ market and choice of vacant rental is 42 per cent lower than this time last year, it’s positive to see vacancy rates remaining stable for the fourth month in a row and up in some states,” she said.
“It indicates the turning point could be close and renters will start to see more choice in the coming months.”
Tenants’ Union of NSW chief executive Leo Patterson Ross said the vacancy rate would need to increase substantially to provide any choice and stable rents for tenants.
“Rents are still rising very quickly and that’s not surprising because the vacancy rate staying around 1.5 per cent really doesn’t change a lot, or how easy it is to find a rental,” Patterson Ross said.
“There is still a lot of pressure on people who are trying to find a new home or hold on to the current one. That is unlikely to change unless the vacancy rate goes higher.”
Patterson Ross said because the vacancy rate has been chronically low for so long, with no government measures to trigger rent stabilisation, it would take a prolonged period to correct the market in line with low-to-medium income earners.
“Even with quite a big correction we were still a long way from where wages are. It takes some time at a healthy vacancy rate until things return to normal or to a more fair market experience for renters,” he said.
“We know we get to a tenants’ market when they have a lot of choice and the properties are well maintained, and they ask you about your intentions, offering long-term leases. That seems a long way away.” | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/property/news/very-much-a-landlords-market-renters-face-tough-conditions-with-vacancy-rate-at-record-low-20220705-p5az7s.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-07-05T14:35:49Z | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/property/news/very-much-a-landlords-market-renters-face-tough-conditions-with-vacancy-rate-at-record-low-20220705-p5az7s.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | true | 4 |

In a search for the most exciting product to add to its range of sweet treats, the family-run retailer, which has branches in Hucknall and Bulwell, is encouraging cake enthusiasts of all ages and levels of experience to share their designs.
The winning baker will get to work with the expert team at Birds to develop their product, before it hits the shelves in October as part of its Halloween range.
They will also receive a Birds Burgundy Card, entitling them to free Birds for a year.
The competition is open now and people can submit their entries in the comments on Birds’ various social channels.
To be considered, entrants must share the name of their creation with its key flavours and a picture to show the final result.
Creative drawings are accepted, or a photograph for those who are brave enough to bake it.
Mike Holling, sales and marketing director at Birds, said: “Following a rise in home baking in lockdown, ‘flour fever’ has continued to grip the nation.
"We want to meet these British bakers.
“We love baking because it unites everyone.
"Grandparents do it, children do it, work colleagues do it, and even students can sometimes be found tucking into tea and cake instead of out partying.
"There’s no age limit to this competition, because we want to see the full range of what our customers can dream up.
“As well as our core range of classic cakes, our team does like to celebrate each season with some suitable products.
"Everyone loves our hot cross bun loaves, and our delicious orange carrots at Easter, heart cupcakes and chocolate frogs for Valentine’s Day, and of course, our mince pies and gingerbread reindeers at Christmas.
“The winner of this competition will have their creation sold in October, so we’re open to seeing some spooky ideas as well as a twist on traditional favourites, with a particular focus on biscuits, cupcakes, chocolate lollipops and doughnuts.”
Submit your entry on social media via Instagram at @birds_bakery, Twitter at @birds_bakery or Facebook at @Birds Bakery.
Closing date for entries is July 18. | https://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/news/people/get-your-bake-on-to-design-new-sweet-treat-for-hucknall-and-bulwell-bakers-3756940 | 2022-07-05T14:40:17Z | https://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/news/people/get-your-bake-on-to-design-new-sweet-treat-for-hucknall-and-bulwell-bakers-3756940 | true | 2 |
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s prime minister said Tuesday that Russia's war in Ukraine is a “turning point” in the course of Europe, stressing that any type of outcome that could embolden aggression by other nations on the continent must be avoided.
Greece, which has long-standing disputes with far larger neighbor Turkey that brought them to the brink of war three times in the last half-century, has voiced strong support for Ukraine in its war against the Russian invasion.
“The battle of Ukraine is not just another event on the international scene. It is a turning point in the course of Europe,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a speech at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
“We owe it today to Ukraine to avert any type of fait accompli which could be imitated tomorrow by new potential trouble-makers," he said.
Mitsotakis noted he was referring to “the constant aggressive behavior of Turkey,” with which relations have shown increasing strain over the past two years. Although both NATO members, the two countries have decades-old disputes over a series of issues, including territorial claims in the Aegean Sea and energy exploration rights in the eastern Mediterranean.
Recent quarrels have focused on Greek islands off Turkey’s coast, with Ankara accusing Athens of maintaining a military presence there in violation of treaties. Greece counters it is acting according to international law and is defending its islands in the face of Turkish hostility.
“One thing is certain, we do not need new revisionism and the revival of imperial fantasies,” Mitsotakis said. “And another thing is also certain, Greece will not tolerate any questioning of its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
The Greek prime minister said his country was “keeping our doors shut to threats, keeping our windows open to peaceful contacts. Disputes between nations are resolved based on international law, not through bullying.”
Last Friday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Greece of violating its airspace — something which Greece frequently accuses Turkey of doing to its own airspace, and denies violating Turkey's.
“We don’t have an issue like ‘let’s go to war with Greece, let’s make war.’ But Greece is not standing by their promises,” Erdogan said after Friday prayers, accusing Greece of having violated Turkish airspace 147 times.
“Of course, if you’re going to violate our airspace like this, then what falls on us? My air force will give you the necessary visuals. That’s what our air force is doing,” Erdogan said, adding that “our armed forces are doing their duty and if these airspace violations continue after this, we will continue to do our duty in the same way.”
The Turkish president said the leaders of many NATO countries had tried to reconcile him and Mitsotakis. Erdogan said that “we are not thinking that right now,” but would see what happens in the future and evaluate it then.

Completion of the merger of Deezer with and into I2PO
I2PO is renamed and becomes Deezer
PARIS, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Deezer (ISIN: FR001400AYG6) – (Mnemonic: DEEZR), the second largest independent music streaming platform in the world1, present in over 180 countries, is today listing on the Professional Segment (Compartiment Professionnel) of the regulated market of Euronext Paris.
As one of the earliest French unicorns and member of France's Next40 index, Deezer is a pioneer of innovation in the music streaming industry. It has developed a scalable and differentiated global platform, supported by its state-of-the-art product and successful hybrid B2B/B2C business model. Through its business combination with I2PO and subsequent listing on Euronext Paris, Deezer intends to continue to grow, directing its efforts towards large attractive markets through its partnership-first strategy and focusing on product innovation and brand differentiation as the home of music, connecting fans and artists around the world.
With this transaction, Deezer received €143 million of new money, coming from the cash held by I2PO and from the cash raised through a PIPE, which was subscribed by most of the existing shareholders of Deezer, including Access Industries, UMG, Warner Music, Orange, Kingdom Holding, Eurazeo and Xavier Niel, as well as a selected group of long-term French and international investors, including Groupe Artémis, Bpifrance, and Média Participations. These funds will allow it to fund its next stage of growth.
Jeronimo Folgueira, Chief Executive Officer of Deezer declared: "Deezer's IPO on Euronext Paris is a milestone in the company's history. We are now taking the first steps on a new and exciting journey to develop, expand and capture an even bigger part of the growing music streaming market. Through merging with I2PO and going public, we have created a solid foundation to execute our strategic plan, with the right capital, expertise, and network. With a highly competitive product, a clear strategy, and a renewed and experienced management team, we will make the most of this opportunity to create substantial shareholder value. We are honored to join the Euronext Tech Leaders segment and to be ranked among the greatest tech companies in Europe."
Guillaume d'Hauteville, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Deezer declared: "Today's IPO will not only bring additional capital to fund Deezer's development but also allow for shareholders not operating in private markets to support and invest alongside current shareholders. With those additional financial resources, Deezer, while keeping its capital efficiency intends to accelerate its innovation leadership and focus on delivering the best streaming product to our clients and partners. Deezer's unique positioning as an independent innovator promoting third party audio content and music in an expanding market make us very optimistic for its future."
Iris Knobloch, Vice-Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Deezer declared: "We launched I2PO, the first European SPAC dedicated to entertainment and leisure, with the ambition to take a European champion to new heights. In Deezer, we have found the ideal combination as its new management team has positioned the company extremely well to capture a significant share in the booming music streaming growth with its well-established brand, outstanding tech capabilities, and scalable platform.
While Deezer enters a hugely exciting expansion phase and its listing is a formidable achievement, today also marks the beginning of a new phase of profitable growth paired with a focus on delivering long-term shareholder value as a publicly traded company."
The I2PO Board of Directors' meeting held today:
- acknowledged the completion of the capital increase decided by I2PO's shareholders' meeting of June 30, 2022 for a total amount (issuance premium included) of €119 million reserved to certain identified investors including Groupe Artémis, one of I2PO's founders, most of the existing shareholders of Deezer and in particular, Access Industries, UMG, Warner Music, Orange, Kingdom Holding, Eurazeo, and Xavier Niel, as well as a selected group of long-term French and international investors including Bpifrance and Média-Participations (the "PIPE");
- acknowledged the completion of the other conditions precedent provided for by the merger agreement entered into I2PO and Deezer on May 24, 2022;
- acknowledged the completion of the merger of Deezer with and into I2PO;
- acknowledged the modification of the governance of I2PO and in particular the appointment of Guillaume d'Hauteville, Jeronimo Folgueira, Hans-Holger Albrecht, Amanda Cameron, Sophie Guiyesse, Valérie Accary and Mari Thjømøe;
- acknowledged the change of name of I2PO into Deezer;
- decided the appointment of Jeronimo Folgueira as Chief Executive Office of I2PO (renamed Deezer) in replacement of Iris Knobloch;
- decided the appointment of Guillaume d'Hauteville as new Chairman of the Board of Directors and the appointment of Iris Knobloch as new Vice-Chairwoman of the Board of Directors;
- reminded that Deezer will redeem, no later than August 4, 2022, the class B preferred shares held by the shareholders having informed the company of his/her/its willingness to have his/her/its class B preferred shares redeemed at a redemption price of €10.00 per class B preferred shares in accordance with its by-laws.
As from today, I2PO will encompass the activities and business of Deezer.

Carrier SAS files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in US
By JAN M. OLSEN
Associated Press
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Scandinavian Airlines has filed for bankruptcy in the United States. The airline group said Tuesday’s announcement would not affect its operations and flight schedule. But the chief executive of SAS said the pilots’ strike had accelerated the move to seek bankruptcy protection voluntarily in the U.S. Filing for Chapter 11 in New York puts civil litigation on hold while the business reorganizes its finances. Pilots say their pay and conditions are inadequate and the company is not rehiring pilots laid off during the pandemic. They claim the company negotiated for months but never intended to reach a deal with them. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/07/05/carrier-sas-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection-in-us/ | 2022-07-05T14:45:52Z | https://keyt.com/news/2022/07/05/carrier-sas-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection-in-us/ | true | null |

The Warriors have the means to acquire Kevin Durant, but that doesn't mean a reunion is destined to happen.
According to The Athletic's Marcus Thompson, Golden State's stars would embrace Durant if there was a reunion and have even been in conversations with the 12-time All-Star, discussing mostly the "stunning nature" of a trade even being a possibility.
Thompson adds that they're not pushing the front office to pursue Durant and a reunion, while possible, is "highly unlikely."
The idea of them playing together again had to seem impossible when Durant left in free agency in 2019. It isn’t lost on them how life has contrived an opportunity for them to come full circle. They see it, like everyone else, and talked about it, like everyone else.
This isn’t a case where the Warriors stars are pressing the front office to go acquire Durant. Sources made it clear they are fine defending their title with Wiggins, Poole and the young players they’ve been grooming to win with them. But if the universe somehow sets it up so legends reunite, they’d be open to it.
On June 30, news broke that Durant requested a trade from the Nets. He joined the franchise in 2019 after three seasons with the Warriors, which resulted in him winning two championships and two Finals MVP awards.
Two teams said to be on Durant's wishlist are the Suns and Heat.
MORE: Why Kevin Durant left Warriors for Nets
Could the Warriors trade for Kevin Durant?
In theory, yes. Not only that, but the Warriors could put together quite a package for Durant without touching their core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
With Durant on the books for $44.1 million next season, the Warriors would need to include Andrew Wiggins to have a shot at matching Durant's salary. They could then sweeten the deal with some combination of James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody and Jordan Poole, plus draft picks.
The Warriors have full control of all but one of their future first-round picks.
One obstacle Golden State would face in a Durant trade is Brooklyn cannot acquire Wiggins if Ben Simmons is still on its roster. Why? Because teams aren't allowed to have two players on a designated rookie extension. | https://www.sportingnews.com/au/nba/news/kevin-durant-trade-rumors-warriors-stephen-curry-reunion/nxpu11zwqzvyr5dtjusgnpnq | 2022-07-05T14:50:55Z | https://www.sportingnews.com/au/nba/news/kevin-durant-trade-rumors-warriors-stephen-curry-reunion/nxpu11zwqzvyr5dtjusgnpnq | false | 2 |
You could argue that Snapchat has had one of the biggest comebacks in the social platform category in recent years, and now it's trying to capitalize on this with a premium option... but there's a big catch I've found after subscribing to Snapchat Plus.
Before Instagram Stories were a thing, which let you quickly take a photo or video and last for just 24 hours, Snapchat led the way. However, back in 2016, the app had a redesign that was so disliked that it caused a bunch of users to switch to Instagram.
However, it's had an impressive turnaround since then, appealing to teenagers with unique filters and partnerships with influencers, and it's one of the leading social platforms once again.
But with Snapchat Plus (opens in new tab), which gives you exclusive features for $3.99 / £3.99 / AU$4.89 a month on iPhone and Android, one called 'Ghost Trail' has left me uncomfortable after subscribing, and eventually led me to cancel my subscription.
A potentially dangerous feature for some people
Snap has been trying to expand the app in recent years, with Spectacles giving you the ability to let you post snaps through wearable glasses, for example.
Snapchat Plus (opens in new tab) is following on from Twitter Blue's subscription model of offering exclusive features for a price. Once you sign up, you can use the following:
- Pin a contact as a best friend
- Gives you an indicator of how many times someone's watched your story
- Custom App Icons/Themes on iOS, coming soon to Android
- Snapchat Plus Badge
- Friend Solar System - gives you a chat of who's your closest friends
- Ghost Trails on Snap Map
Each of these features are fun enough - I've changed the App Icon to a pride variant for example, while having a badge and 'pinning' my wife as a best friend contact helps for when we're sending snaps to one another.
But soon after, one feature made me unsubscribe from the service.
For those not aware, Snap Map allows you to open up a map and look at Stories from anywhere in the world. If there's a heatmap, that means there's a bunch of Stories to watch. It can be useful in looking at places you're about to visit for a vacation for example, or to see where some friends are if you're on a trip with them.
However, Ghost Trails goes one step further with this, as it makes a yellow line appear by your friends, showing where they've been in the last 24 hours.
This instantly made me uncomfortable. In effect, you can see where your friends or partners have been, subject to their settings, and it feels like a bad move all round.
Considering that Apple is bringing out features in iOS 16 to make it easier to restrict your information and location to others, this feels like a big backward step from Snap.
Hopefully the company gets rid of this feature and comes back with something with privacy in mind, but for now, if you're a big user of Snapchat, go to your profile, and switch on 'Ghost Mode'. This way, no one can see where you've been, and where you currently are on the map. | https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/i-tried-snapchat-plus-but-theres-one-feature-that-made-me-cancel-it | 2022-07-05T14:51:12Z | https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/i-tried-snapchat-plus-but-theres-one-feature-that-made-me-cancel-it | true | 6 |
Former NFL receiver Demaryius Thomas posthumously diagnosed with CTE

Former NFL receiver Demaryius Thomas posthumously diagnosed with CTE originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Seven months after the death of former NFL receiver Demaryius Thomas, a diagnosis has been made.
According to doctors at Boston University, Thomas, who died in December, had Stage 2 chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). His official cause of death is still undetermined.
Thomas retired from the New York Jets on June 28, 2021 at the age of 33 after a four-time Pro Bowl career in the NFL. After a car crash in 2019, he suffered seizures that may have also contributed to his death.
According to the New York Times, Thomas’ behavior became erratic at the age of 33. He experienced memory loss, paranoia and isolation, which are tell-tale signs of CTE. CTE is a degenerative brain disease that surfaces as a result of repeated head hits.
The former wide receiver played college football for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
Thomas played with the Broncos for eight seasons before moving to the Houston Texans in 2018. In 2019, he played for the New England Patriots and the New York Jets, before retiring in 2021.
Thomas is a Super Bowl 50 champion, two-time second-team All-Pro (2013, 2014) and a four-time Pro Bowler (2012, 2013, 2014, 2016). | https://sports.yahoo.com/former-nfl-receiver-demaryius-thomas-132841853.html?src=rss | 2022-07-05T14:52:28Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/former-nfl-receiver-demaryius-thomas-132841853.html?src=rss | true | 8 |
DALLAS (AP) — Travelers flying home from July Fourth getaways faced flight delays Monday, but airlines were canceling fewer flights than in the days leading up to the holiday weekend.
Since holiday weekend travel picked up on Thursday, airlines have canceled more than 2,200 U.S. flights, and another 25,000 were delayed.
Airports were packed.
More than 9 million flyers flocked to U.S. airports between Thursday and Sunday, peaking at 2.49 million, a pandemic-era record, on Friday, according to figures from the Transportation Security Administration.
By late Monday afternoon on the East Coast, more than 2,200 U.S. flights had been delayed and more than 200 canceled, according to FlightAware.
The good news: Those numbers were down sharply from recent days.
Flying during the peak vacation season has always been challenging. Big crowds and summer thunderstorms can quickly overwhelm an airline’s operations. That has been compounded this summer by shortages of pilots and other workers.
“It’s not just in North America, it’s everywhere,” said John Grant, an analyst for OAG, a travel-date provider based in the United Kingdom. “It’s a combination of available resources and demand picking up much more quickly than anyone anticipated.”
Grant said labor shortages in Europe and North America have affected airlines, their suppliers including caterers and aircraft fuelers, airports and air traffic controllers. He sees no reason to think the situation will improve anytime this summer.
In the U.S., the rate of cancellations over the last two weeks is up 59% from the same period in 2019, before the pandemic, likely due to a combination of weather, staffing shortages and air-traffic issues.
However, the rate of delayed flights is only slightly worse than it was in the last summer before the pandemic — 19.7% then, 21.5% now, according to FlightAware numbers.
While some of the disruption was due to bad weather, especially along the East Coast for part of the weekend, airlines also made unforced errors.
American Airlines accidentally dropped pilot assignments for thousands of flights in July because of a glitch in its scheduling program. A spokesman for the airline said Monday that the problem had been fixed and crew assignments had been restored for “the vast majority” of flights. He said the issue had no effect on July Fourth travel.
Ed Sicher, the new president of the union representing American’s pilots, said the airline had disregarded their contract by unilaterally reassigning pilots to about 80% of the affected flights.
Sicher said the union and airline are negotiating extra pay for pilots who had trips dropped, then restored during “this debacle.” | https://www.kget.com/national-news/airlines-cancel-fewer-flights-as-july-4-weekend-ends/ | 2022-07-05T14:52:41Z | https://www.kget.com/national-news/airlines-cancel-fewer-flights-as-july-4-weekend-ends/ | true | 55 |
Brittney Griner sends letter to Biden pleading for his help
(AP) - Brittney Griner has made an appeal to President Joe Biden in a letter passed to the White House through her representatives saying she feared she might never return home and asking that he not " forget about me and the other American Detainees.”
Griner’s agent Lindsay Kagawa Colas said the letter was delivered on Monday. Most of the letter’s contents to President Biden remain private, though Griner’s representatives shared a few lines from the hand-written note.
″…As I sit here in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments, I’m terrified I might be here forever,” Griner wrote.
“On the 4th of July, our family normally honors the service of those who fought for our freedom, including my father who is a Vietnam War Veteran,” the Phoenix Mercury center added. “It hurts thinking about how I usually celebrate this day because freedom means something completely different to me this year.”
The two-time Olympic gold medalist is in the midst of a trial in Russia that began last week after she was arrested on Feb. 17 on charges of possessing cannabis oil while returning to play for her Russian team. The trial will resume Thursday.
Fewer than 1% of defendants in Russian criminal cases are acquitted, and unlike in U.S. courts, acquittals can be overturned.
Griner’s wife, Cherelle, said Tuesday morning she has not had any direct communication with President Biden since the letter was delivered to the White House.
“I still have not heard from him and honestly, it’s very disheartening,” Cherelle Griner said on CBS Mornings.
The White House National Security Council confirmed the White House has received Griner’s letter.
“We believe the Russian Federation is wrongfully detaining Brittney Griner,” NSC spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said on Monday. “President Biden has been clear about the need to see all U.S. nationals who are held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad released, including Brittney Griner. The U.S. government continues to work aggressively – using every available means – to bring her home.”
Cherelle Griner said for Brittney to reach out directly to Biden is an indication of just how afraid her wife is about what’s next.
“BG is probably the strongest person that I know. So she doesn’t say words like that lightly,” Cherelle said. “That means she truly is terrified that she may never see us again. And you know I share those same sentiments. ... I’m sure she was like, ‘I’m gonna write him now because ... my family has tried and to no avail. So I’m going do it myself.’”
Griner pleaded with Biden in the letter to use his powers to ensure her return.
“Please do all you can to bring us home. I voted for the first time in 2020 and I voted for you. I believe in you. I still have so much good to do with my freedom that you can help restore,” Griner said “I miss my wife! I miss my family! I miss my teammates! It kills me to know they are suffering so much right now. I am grateful for whatever you can do at this moment to get me home.”
Griner has been able to have sporadic communications with family, friends and WNBA players through an email account her agent set up. The emails are printed out and delivered in bunches to Griner by her lawyer after they are vetted by Russian officials. Once the lawyers get back to their office, they’ll scan any responses from Griner and pass them back to the U.S. to send along.
She was supposed to have a phone call with her wife on their anniversary but it failed because of an “unfortunate mistake,” Biden administration officials.
Griner’s supporters have encouraged a prisoner swap like the one in April that brought home Marine veteran Trevor Reed in exchange for a Russian pilot convicted of drug trafficking conspiracy. The State Department in May designated her as wrongfully detained, moving her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, effectively the government’s chief hostage negotiator.
Griner isn’t the only American being wrongfully detained in Russia. Paul Whelan, a former Marine and security director is serving a 16-year sentence on an espionage conviction.

PARIS—Shares in French music-streaming service Deezer fell in their first day of trading, a fresh sign of the difficult environment facing startups and loss-making companies.
The Paris-based competitor to music-streaming services including Spotify Technology SA saw its shares fall by more than a quarter on Tuesday, the company’s first day on Paris’s stock exchange. The tumble, down more than 30% at one point, came after the company struck a SPAC deal in April valuing it at roughly $1.1 billion.

Which gaming computer desk is best?
Desks can be versatile additions to any home office or workspace, especially for gaming computer set-ups. The perfect gaming computer desk ensures comfort while playing games for an extended period of time. Most effective desks provide ample space for keeping all of your belongings from getting cluttered, including monitors, keyboards, mice and any other belongings. Additionally, gaming desks come in various styles ranging from wooden finishes to sleek, smooth designs.
Features of gaming computer desks
Adjustable height
Many desks offer adjustable heights to be more ergonomically flexible and make gaming environments more comfortable and efficient. Having a desk with an adjustable height provides the user with the option of either sitting or standing, offering the ability not to get uncomfortable being in one position for an extended time.
Multi-monitor support and size
Because many gaming set-ups use more than one monitor, it is imperative to find a gaming desk with space to support all of your monitors and other belongings. Specific gaming desks sometimes take this into account, providing particular places for monitor placement. Others just give the real estate and leave it up to the user to put their monitors where they desire.
Price
Given the sheer variety of gaming set-ups, there are several different price points for gaming desks. The most inexpensive gaming desks will generally cost $80-$100, usually providing you room for at least one monitor and enough space for your peripherals. Mid-range gaming desks run $100-$200 and are generally much more spacious than desks with lower prices. They are made of studier woods and metals and usually use some ergonomic design in mind. Finally, expensive gaming desks go for more than $200 and typically have other features attached to them beyond just the space on top, including height adjustability and drawers.

AILSA CHANG, HOST:
For many of the families of the migrants who died after being transported in a sweltering trailer in San Antonio, Texas, the past week has been agonizing. Authorities have urged patience as they scramble to identify the 53 victims of what is being called one of the worst human smuggling tragedies on U.S. soil. As NPR's Carrie Kahn reports, this weekend, relatives of three young men from a small town in Mexico finally learned the heartbreaking news.
(SOUNDBITE OF MOTOR RUNNING)
CARRIE KAHN, BYLINE: Pickup trucks loaded with freshly cut firewood gun it up the steep road in front of Bilbano Olivares' home in this small town tucked into the lush mountains in Mexico's gulf state of Veracruz.
(SOUNDBITE OF LOGS DROPPING)
KAHN: Men dump the logs beside a black tarp, shielding the steady stream of mourners who've come to pay their respects.
We need a lot of wood for cooking to feed everyone, says Olivares.
BILBANO OLIVARES: (Speaking Spanish).
KAHN: "Here, everyone shares in the suffering of the families," he says. Olivares' three grandchildren - brothers Yovani, 16, and Jair, 20, as well as their cousin Miseal, also 16 - were all in the Texas trailer. Authorities last week notified relatives that Miseal had been found dead. On Saturday, Olivares says authorities summoned the family to the capital, an hour ride down the mountain.
B OLIVARES: (Speaking Spanish).
KAHN: "Even then, we were still holding out hope they were alive," he said. "But, no."
His daughter, Yolanda Olivares, says at least now she knows her boys are with God.
YOLANDA OLIVARES: (Through interpreter) I'm sad right now, but a lot more calm. Now I know they're no longer suffering, alone in a hospital bed, fighting for their lives, not knowing where they were. It's all been such a nightmare.
KAHN: Olivares stares forward, her eyes puffy from days of crying and no sleep. She sits on the small stoop of her modest house. Inside, the front room is filled with pictures of her boys and burning candles.
Y OLIVARES: (Speaking Spanish).
KAHN: "Life here is hard," she says. It's a small town, known in this region for making shoes. Like most everyone here, her sons cut leather, fitted soles and sewed shoes in small workshops. Pay isn't much, at most 50 pesos a pair. One makes about $50 U.S. a week. That's if you sew fast.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELLS RINGING)
KAHN: Bells summon residents who trickle down the town's dirt paths and steep streets onto the church's central square for evening mass.
(SOUNDBITE OF PEOPLE SINGING)
KAHN: The crowd fills the simple wooden pews.
ANDRES HERNANDEZ SOLANO: (Speaking Spanish).
KAHN: Father Andres Hernandez Solano reads the names of the three who perished.
SOLANO: (Speaking Spanish).
KAHN: He tells me it's hard to find the words to console his parishioners. He says so many have migrated recently. Several told me as many as 50 have left the town in recent months. Father Hernandez says before leaving, young men ask for his blessing. He begs them not to go, but he says Mexicans are hard workers and yearn to get ahead.
SOLANO: (Speaking Spanish).
KAHN: And the United States takes advantage of the cheap labor, he says, so why not have a more humane immigration policy - give these boys temporary visas to go work and be able to come back home alive?
Outside the boys' home, dozens of women slap out tortillas and serve up bean soup to mourners still coming by. One of the boys' uncle, Mateo Ruiz, says it's hard to convince the town's young men not to migrate. The lure of dollars is strong.
MATEO RUIZ: (Speaking Spanish).
KAHN: Many might not migrate for a while now because of the tragedy, he says, but soon they'll head north again. He actually worked in Chicago for a few years and hears from relatives that there's a lot of work and money to be made in the U.S. now.
RUIZ: (Speaking Spanish).
KAHN: "It's tempting - makes you think about going again and working for a bit," he says.

A total of 13 people were arrested for driving at “excessively slow speeds” today as protests over fuel prices caused gridlock across the country.
Protesters travelled in small groups and slowed down traffic by blocking lanes on and around the Prince of Wales Bridge on the M4, a main route between England and Wales.
A total of 12 protesters arrested for breaching the legal notice issued by the police prior to the protest by driving at under 30 mph for “a prolonged amount of time”.
Gwent Police chief superintendent Tom Harding, said: “The right to protest under UK law must be balanced with the rights of the wider community who may be affected. By implementing restrictions on the moving protest, we aimed to protect the public and local communities.
“Along with partners, we identified that failing to comply with the legal notice requirements would lead to emergency and critical services being restricted therefore posing a risk to local communities, action was taken when I deemed these risks existed.”
A man was also arrested after taking part in a fuel protest on the A38 near Plymouth after Devon and Cornwall police reported some protesting drivers using ‘excessively slow speeds’, which caused cars to brake suddenly.
Among those gathering at a protest at Magor services, near Caldicot, was Vicky Stamper.
The former HGV driver, from Cwmbran, Wales said she and her partner Darren had to give up jobs in Bristol because they could no longer afford the fuel.
She said: “We had to leave those jobs because it was costing us £380 a week just to get to and from work.
“I then lost a job two weeks ago because the company couldn’t afford to put fuel in that many lorries so last in, first out.”
Mobile welder Richard Dite, 44, from Maesteg, South Wales, said it is costing him hundreds of pounds in fuel to get to work every week due to price hikes.
“It’s costing me £300 a week before I even get to work and earn anything,” he said.
“My only option soon will be to put the welding gear in the shed and call it a day, maybe go on the dole.”
Motorists also faced delays on the M180 in Lincolnshire, on the M5 motorway in Devon, M32,at Bristol, A12 in Essex.
There was also traffic chaos on the A48 in Gloucestershire, the M62 in West Yorkshire, in Stoke-on-Trent on the A50, the M6 and M54 in the Midlands
Protesters also targeted main roads in parts of Scotland, with two tractors causing long tailbacks on the A92 heading north into Aberdeen on Monday.
Demonstrations were also held at the Kessock Bridge in Inverness.
Police Scotland said it was aware of protests across Scotland and urged motorists to be careful.
Three men were also spotted playing football on the M4 after rolling roadblocks brought it to a standstill this morning.
The trio were captured on video having a kickabout on an empty section of motorway – after the M4 was closed in both directions around 8.30am – while traffic was gridlocked on the other side of the road.
FairFuelUK founder Howard Cox said his organisation is not involved in the action but he is “fully supportive” of the demonstrations so long as they are conducted legally.
He said: “I totally support their protest because people have reached the end of their tethers at the moment.”
The protests come after Chancellor Rishi Sunak said he will carefully consider calls for a “more substantial” fuel duty decrease after the 5p-per-litre reduction implemented in March failed to halt price rises.
The Government said that while it understands that people are struggling with rising prices and have a right to protest, “people’s day-to-day lives should not be disrupted” and warned that traffic delays “will only add to fuel use”. | https://inews.co.uk/news/ffuel-protests-police-arrest-protesters-roadblock-demos-motorways-standstill-uk-1721365 | 2022-07-05T15:02:43Z | https://inews.co.uk/news/ffuel-protests-police-arrest-protesters-roadblock-demos-motorways-standstill-uk-1721365 | false | 1 |
