We wrote about Commercial Metals Company (NYSE:CMC) (Steel Manufacturer) in January of this year when we stated that the company´s long-term value proposition remained intact. Shares are up almost 50% since we penned that piece and we believe most likely that there are further gains to be realized here. The reasons are multiple why we maintain our bullish stance.
Firstly, from a technical basis, shares finally this year broke out of their long-term ascending triangle. If indeed we have a bullish long-term triangle in play, then an eventual price-target of $45 to $50 a share here looks a foregone conclusion in the long-run. We state this because of the height of the triangle which comes in at well over $15 a share when calculated off the 2008 lows and recent break-out level just below $30 a share.
The breakout stemmed from sustained growth in earnings over a long-period of time now. The recent Q3earnings number of $1.04 per share was the 12th consecutive quarterly earnings beat over consensus. Furthermore, momentum does not seem like it will slow down any time soon with $1.14 per share being the consensus number for the fourth quarter. If this quarterly bottom-line number is indeed achieved, it would be a very impressive 45% increase over the earnings in the same quarter of 12 months prior.
Given that earnings are expected to come in at approximately $3.41 for this fiscal year (ended in August) and will remain close to these levels in fiscal 2022, investors may like the momentum trade here given that shares are currently trading for under 10 times annual earnings. We have already given a firm price target above which is at least 50% above the current share-price. How quickly shares will arrive at this price-point though remains the key question.
Let me explain. Commercial is in an enviable position at present in that it has been growing its sales aggressively (37% rolling quarter growth in Q3) which have been resulting in strong growth in net profit. Monthly shipment records were the order of the day in the third quarter both in Poland as well as in the US. This growth is taking place alongside the sustained cost-cutting measures which incidentally management believes it has only 50% completed. Both of these trends are bullish for sustained profitability over the long-term which is what long-term holders want to hear.
The $130 million in net profit in Q3 resulted in the generation of $93 million in operating cash-flow for the quarter. This number would have actually been higher were it not for the $79 million change in working capital. In saying this, plenty of free cash flow was generated from these numbers and this bullish trend has been showing itself up on the balance sheet in recent times as shareholder equity continues to grow. Commercial´s debt to equity ratio as a result came in at 0.47 in Q3 and its net debt to capitalization percentage continues to move in the right direction as we see below.
Source: Earnings Presentation
However, cash-flow generation and a strong balance sheet is only one side of the re-investment argument. The other side of the argument is how well management can allocate the excess cash that the business is generating at present. For example, the popular return on equity percentage for example comes in at 16.59% over a trailing twelve-month average whereas the firm´s return on invested capital number over the same time-period comes in at 11.87%. These profitability metrics have been increasing for some years now and the share-price has obviously benefited as a result.
However, we like to look at key profitability metrics like we do valuation metrics for example which means we compare them to numbers of yesteryear. Commercial´s trailing ROE as mentioned comes in at 16.59% at present but its 5-year average is approximately at the 10% mark. That is a 65% increase over the average ROE Commercial has reported over the past five years. This brings the question; Should we look at what Commercial has traditionally returned or focus on what the company is returning at present? A balanced viewpoint is the correct course of action here we believe.
Source: Seeking Alpha
Suffice it to say, excellent future allocation of capital in Commercial will result in shares continuing from this point and hitting $50 per share sooner than many may believe. On the contrary, the monthly MACD indicator which is actually diverging at present will alert long-term players when the cycle may be changing here.
Therefore, to sum up, we remain bullish on CMC. Market conditions continue to act as a tailwind for the firm as new projects continue to be booked on mass. Profitability is buoyant and shares finally have broken out of a multi-year consolidation zone which is encouraging. We will continue to monitor how effectively management allocates capital in the quarters to come. We look forward to continued coverage.

Durham University is granted 'change of use' on council's HQ
- Published
Durham University is a step closer to moving into a building which was earmarked as the county council's new headquarters.
Work was completed earlier this year on the £50m new headquarters, with it set to replace the 1960s-built County Hall.
But after a change in political leadership, the council decided to sell it and build a second new civic centre.
A change of use has now been granted allowing it to be the new home of Durham University Business School.
The change means the business school will move from its current location on Millhill Lane to The Sands in the city centre.
Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Durham University, Prof Claire O'Malley, said: "The relocation will enable the business school to continue to thrive, and bring significant benefits for the city, county and region."
The university said it had no information on a moving date but said the decision "allows us to progress this project to the next phase".
Plane were approved in 2019 for Durham County Council to leave its current home at Aykley Heads to move to the site on the banks of the River Wear, which was occupied by a car park.
At the time the council administration believed the move and new development would "reduce costs" and "boost the economy".
The decision sparked hundreds of letters of opposition to the plans, with campaigners saying the move could harm business and cause traffic problems.
Work on the new HQ was completed earlier this year and a review was carried out into the county council's proposed site move.
In April Durham County Council's cabinet agreed the building could be sold sale to Durham University.
It also put forward proposals to build another new "modest-sized civic building" at Aykley Heads, where it is currently located.

Foods that will help you gain weight and build muscles. Image used for representational purposes only.

While several people look for ways to lose weight, there are also those who find it challenging to gain weight or muscle. Yes, you may wonder why anyone would want to gain weight.
But it is no secret that people are also shamed for being too skinny. It is also believed that gaining weight is more difficult and time-consuming than losing weight.
In this article, we have compiled a list of five foods that can help you gain weight if you have made up your mind to bulk up. These are foods from different groups that can provide the extra calories your body needs in order to gain weight.
These foods are also packed with important vitamins and minerals to support your health.
A banana is the favourite fruit of many. Mothers also feed bananas to their children.
Bananas are not only nutritious but also a great source of carbs and calories. According to US NIH, one medium-sized banana contains 105 calories, 1 gram of protein, 0.4 grams of fat, 27 grams of carbs, 3 grams of fiber, 20 percent of the daily required vitamin B6, and 13 percent of the daily required manganese.
Research also shows that green bananas are high in resistant starch, which passes through your digestive tract undigested and is known to improve your gut health.
You can enjoy banana as a snack, make it a part of your morning oatmeal or smoothie, or enjoy it with high-calorie ingredients like peanut butter or yogurt.
Avocados have a good reputation for their health benefits and have a good nutrient profile as well. They are rich in healthy fats and calories, and that's what makes them a good option for gaining weight.
According to FoodData Central, half a medium-sized avocado (100 grams) contains 161 calories, 2 grams of protein, 15 grams of fat, 8.6 grams of carbs, 7 grams of fiber, 17.5 percent of the daily required vitamin K, and 21 percent of the daily required folate.
Avocados are rich in other micronutrients like potassium, vitamins K, vitamin C, B5 (pantothenic acid), and B6 (pyridoxine). Moreover, avocados are versatile and can be used in several ways. You can add them to your soups, salads, or spread on a bread alongside some eggs.
Dried fruits are fruits with nearly no water content since all of it has been removed through various drying methods. The drying method leaves behind an energy-giving, nutrient-dense, and small-sized snack. As compared to fresh fruit, dried fruit has an equal amount of micronutrients and can be stored for a longer period of time.
According to PubMed, since dried fruits are dense in energy, they’re excellent foods that can help people gain weight. However, they’re high in natural sugars, so combine them with a source of healthy fat or protein to minimise the negative effects on your blood sugar.
Dried fruits that can help you gain weight include dried figs, raisins, dried apricots, prunes, and dates.
For decades, milk has been consumed to gain weight and build muscles. It is also a good source of proteins, calcium, carbs, and fats. It also contains vitamins and minerals.
Milk is an excellent source of protein containing both casein and whey proteins, thus making muscle building easier when combined with weightlifting. Moreover, research has shown that milk, or whey and casein together, can lead to greater mass gain than other protein sources.
You can try drinking one or two glasses of whole milk as a snack, before and after a workout. Delicious milk smoothies are also a great way to incorporate milk into your diet.
Rice is a convenient, low-carb source to gain weight. One cup of cooked white rice provides 204 calories, 44 grams of carbs, and fat. Rice is also high in calories, which means one can obtain a high amount of carbs and calories from a single serving, thus helping you eat more food if you have a poor appetite.
There are different ways to enjoy rice for lunch, dinner, or even as snacks. You can eat it with curries, stir-fried veggies, red meat, and chicken which are also great for gaining weight.

CGT Staffing partners with its clients to maximize diversity and inclusivity.
PITTSBURGH , July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S Census Bureau projects that the United States will become a majority-minority nation by 2043. This historic, ongoing shift is already redefining the demographic composition of the modern workforce, regardless of industry or geography.
This seismic shift in talent and hiring has necessarily forced businesses to become more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A heterogeneous workforce is critical to success for a myriad of reasons. The creative business methods and enhanced company culture afforded by professionals of varied cultures and backgrounds working cooperatively promotes innovation, creativity, and strength. Companies with higher levels of racial and ethnic diversity are 35% more likely to financially outperform their rivals year over year. This quality of output is evident at every level of the corporate structure. For every 10% rise in the diverse composition of a company's executive team, the proceeds before interest and taxes rise by an average of 0.8%. Relative to more homogeneous organizations, diversified teams experience 2.3 times more cash flow per employee every three years.
"Diversity fosters innovation, boosts output, and encourages organizations and their stakeholders to make better, more impactful decisions," said Bill Welge, President and CEO of CGT Staffing. "We're proud to embrace equal opportunity in our search for talent and in their subsequent engagement with our clients. Our efforts are always based on the best interests of both parties. Diversity and inclusion is key to ensuring that mutual best fit that guarantees lasting success."
When addressing diversity and inclusion in recruitment, organizations often have to face issues that are difficult and nuanced. Addressing these concerns requires an open-minded approach, which also includes rethinking current hiring strategies, reforecasting growth models, and re-examining cross-functional partnerships on a daily basis.
"Inclusive hiring is multi-faceted and expansive," said Welge, "For some clients, inclusivity is personified by hiring veterans, who are perhaps the most diverse talent pool of all. They're an underrepresented demographic now top of mind for many organizations, and for a myriad of reasons, both patriotic and economic. When in the best interest of our clients, we begin every job search with the understanding that diversity is crucial to long-term success."
Founded in 2009, CGT Staffing is a national full-service staffing firm based in the greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area.

INEZ, Ky. — Police in eastern Kentucky fatally shot a man who fired at responding officers, a sheriff said.
Martin County Sheriff John Kirk told WSAZ-TV that two Kentucky State Police troopers and a Martin County deputy responded Monday night to a call about gunshots being fired near the Davella community and a man at the scene began firing at them as they arrived.
At least one officer returned fire, killing the suspect, Kirk said. No officers were wounded.
Kentucky State Police Post 9 spokesperson Michael Coleman told WYMT-TV that the scene was no longer active Tuesday morning, but the investigation was continuing.
No further information was immediately released. | https://m.startribune.com/sheriff-kentucky-police-fatally-shot-man-who-fired-at-them/600187741/ | 2022-07-05T15:09:57Z | https://m.startribune.com/sheriff-kentucky-police-fatally-shot-man-who-fired-at-them/600187741/ | true | null |
Strata sector robust as business buys offices to occupy
By Simon Johanson and Nicole Lindsay
New strata office projects are boosting sales in a sector which has remained robust throughout the pandemic as business owners look to buy rather than lease.
While the slow return of office workers to Melbourne’s towers is worrying big landlords, strata offices are being shielded by classic supply-demand dynamics.
There is a limited amount available. Only 60 CBD buildings contain strata offices and the majority of buyers are owner-occupiers, said Colliers’ George Davies, who along with colleagues handles many transactions.
“The majority are purchasing to house their own business,” Davies said.
Developer Golden Age has sold two-thirds of its premium 27-storey strata building at 130 Little Collins Street and is set to begin construction.
The Uniting Church offloaded the Little Collins site three years ago to developer Jonathan Hallinan’s BPM who planned to convert it into a hotel before on-selling to Golden Age which opted to offer the city’s only dedicated off-the-plan strata tower.
Davies said most of the transactions in the building last year, around $48 million worth, were done amid lockdowns and pandemic restrictions.
More recently, the commercial office component of Orchard Piper’s upmarket $120 million apartment tower complex in East Melbourne sold within six weeks of being available for a total of $18.8 million. Davies and Anthony Kirwan handled the sales.
A high-end electronics distributor took three suites on level 1, paying about $10.5 million at a landmark rate of $14,117 per sq m, and amalgamated them into a single 742 sq m office.
An empty unfitted shell on the second floor of Beulah International’s redevelopment on the corner of Lonsdale and Queen streets recently sold to a law firm for $3.6 million.
Beulah bought the hotel from Celtic Club Irish social club and built a tower above it.
The 515 sq m office purchased by the law firm fetched about $7000 a sq m It was the second to sell in the building where level three recently sold for $3.15 million but at a higher per sq m rate.
Beulah co-founder Jiaheng Chan attributed the buyer interest to the building’s design and location.
Davies and colleague Anthony Kirwan, along with CBRE’s Alex Brierley negotiated the deal, with Advise Transact’s Mark Wizel representing Beulah.
Meanwhile, in the highly sought-after east end of the city, Brierley and colleagues Nathan Mufale and JJ Heng also sold level 2 at 165 Flinders Lane in a boardroom auction for a bullish $15,340 a sq m.
The price for the 88 sq m whole floor office space was $1.35 million. It last changed hands in 2019 for $1.04 million.
Seven offers were made during an expressions of interest campaign, so agents converted the process to an auction. All the bidders were owner-occupiers, Mufale said.
The seven-level McDonald House is on the corner of Hosier Lane, famous the world over for its ever changing graffiti art.
Not all strata is new. Old favourites, like Bank Place off Collins, are still trading well. Suite 101 in building No.4-10 sold to an owner-occupier for $555,000 at a rate of $11,167 per sq m.
So far this year, there have been 19 transactions in the sector worth $54 million at an average rate of $10,224 per sq m, Colliers data shows.

LUGANO, Switzerland -- A top U.S. diplomat on Tuesday urged allies of Ukraine to help the war-battered country meet its “immediate and urgent” needs — not only longer-term rebuilding — as scores of countries wrapped up a two-day conference aimed at helping Ukraine recover from Russia's war, when it ends one day.
Scott Miller, the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland, added a dose of urgency to the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Lugano, at which the Ukrainian prime minister a day earlier presented a $750 billion plan to help his country both recover now — where possible — as well as in the immediate aftermath of the war and over the long term.
Many attendees pointed out that efforts were likely to take many years, and rebuilding would need to take place in several phases. Some called for support for Ukraine along the lines of the U.S. Marshall Plan for Europe after World War II — hinting of a big long-term project.
“While we recognize the importance of preparing for Ukraine’s future, all of us must also deliver on our commitments to provide Ukraine its immediate and urgent needs,” said Miller, one of many government envoys who decried Russia's war and detailed their support for Ukraine.
Some, however, cautioned that quick fixes were unlikely.
“I really understand that we want to be ready overnight — to start tomorrow," Swiss President Ignazio Cassis told reporters. "But we clearly declare: It is the first step of a long journey.”
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, flanked by Cassis, cautioned that his government would carefully select immediate projects for rebuilding places like schools, hospitals and other infrastructure as the war rages on because Russian forces could simply "destroy it again.”
“It will be an unfinished process,” Shmyhal said, alluding to a broader “fast recovery” in a second phase. "So we should wait for the finish of war actions, and then begin this fast recovery.”
He voiced hopes to lock down and utilize an estimated $300 billion to $500 billion in Russian-owned assets that have been frozen in many Western banks to help pay for Ukraine's reconstruction. Such money could complement cash from Ukraine's own — heavily strained —budget, as well as support from allies abroad.
“It’s very important for the civilized world to give the signal to Russia, as aggressor — and to other potential aggressors in the future — to understand that unprovoked aggression should be paid by this aggressor," he said. “Russia should pay for this” recovery, he added.
A final document dubbed as the “Lugano Declaration” laid out goals to help Ukraine build back better — which it comes to government transparency, respect for the environment, and fighting corruption that has plagued the country since it split from Russia after the end of the Soviet Union three decades ago.
Many said the European Union's plan to take in Ukraine as a member one day could help underpin that reform process.

During challenging times — like the ones we are currently facing — it is crucial that we have elected representatives who put the well-being of our state first. It is only then that we will be able to prioritize the needs and the safety of our citizens. One of these elected officials is our Congressman, Matt Rosendale.
We have a dangerous situation on our Southern border with illegal drugs pouring in every day. Because of this, cities across Montana, and across the country, are being overrun with drugs and crime. This includes human trafficking and sex crimes against children.
According to the Montana Attorney General’s office, effectively 100% of the fentanyl that is being seen in Montana is coming across the southern border, which thanks to Joe Biden, is wide open. Not only this, but violent crime in our state has increased over 30% in just one decade.
Congressman Rosendale supported and introduced legislation like the ‘Secure America’s Borders First Act’ to combat these trends, to secure the southern border, and protect Montanans from dangerous drugs and stop human trafficking.

IND vs ENG 2022, Edgbaston Test: 'Will try to rectify the mistakes we made' - Rahul Dravid
Following a disappointing loss to conclude the Test series against England, Rahul Dravid and the Indian team hope to "rectify their mistakes".
Image credit: Getty
In a game where they seemingly had control for most of the match, India succumbed to a seven-wicket defeat, as England chased down a mammoth 378-run total with Joe Root and Johnny Bairstow scoring centuries in the fourth innings. Despite a Bairstow century in England's first innings, India had a 130-run lead before starting its second innings. Despite early wickets, India had the clear upper hand when they were 153-3 at the early stages of Day 4. However, a batting collapse filled with soft dismissals meant India was all-out for 245 in its second innings. 378 was still a massive total. However, all the bowlers, except Bumrah, would go wicketless, as England would complete a great chase.

In an interview following the game, Rahul Dravid emphasised India's mistakes in the match's third and fourth innings. He said, "We will think about it. After every match, there is a learning. Why are we batting poorly in the third innings and bowling poorly in the fourth innings?"

Asked about the omission of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and inclusion of Shardul Thakur in the playing XI, Dravid said: "It's easy in hindsight. It's not easy to leave out someone like Ash [Ashwin]. But, the wicket had an even layer of grass on the first day. The wicket then did not break up as much as we expected."
Image credit: Getty
About Rishabh Pant, who got a hundred in the first innings and a half-century in the second, Dravid said: "He's playing very well. Sometimes he makes people's heart rates go up. We have to accept that a little bit." | https://newsable.asianetnews.com/gallery/cricket-sports/india-vs-england-ind-vs-eng-2022-pataudi-trophy-edgbaston-test-will-try-to-rectify-the-mistakes-we-made-rahul-dravid-krn-rejv0v | 2022-07-05T15:25:36Z | https://newsable.asianetnews.com/gallery/cricket-sports/india-vs-england-ind-vs-eng-2022-pataudi-trophy-edgbaston-test-will-try-to-rectify-the-mistakes-we-made-rahul-dravid-krn-rejv0v | false | 1 |

Suzuki rather cheekily claims that the 2022 S-Cross is “all-new”.
Certainly at first glance, you’d be fooled. The designers have been busy with the crayons, coming up with a sharper, more modern look for its family SUV contender. It’s not the most eye-catching design but it’s a step up for the badge, with a squarer, chunkier look, and a big bold grille.
Behind the new-look grille, however, things haven’t changed that much.
A full hybrid model is on the way but until it arrives there’s the same 1.4-litre mild hybrid setup carried over from the previous generation.
Designed to offer big-engine performance with small-engine economy, it will take between 9.5 and 10.2 seconds to reach 62mph and offer between 46.3mpg and 53.2mpg, depending on the specification.
The on-paper acceleration of the 128bhp unit doesn’t sound like much but Suzuki has kept the S-Cross’s weight down, so it actually has a decent amount of pep and feels pretty responsive at lower speeds. The 48V hybrid arrangement is the same used in the Swift and Ignis and doesn’t provide any EV-only driving. Instead it’s there to boost the torque at low revs, helping reduce strain on the engine and improve economy.
Standard cars come with a six-speed manual and front-wheel drive while our test car had all-wheel-drive and a six-speed auto which, while smooth in operation, has a tendency to shift down too eagerly and hang on to gears too long, creating some unnecessary noise. At a motorway cruise that fades to be replaced by some quite apparent road and wind noise.
On the positive side, Suzuki hasn’t gone chasing any lap times with the S-Cross, instead tuning the new car’s suspension for comfort. What it lacks in body control, it makes up for in being able to soak up most road surfaces.
And despite lacking much side support, the part-leather seats are surprisingly comfortable on a long drive. The basic cabin layout is straightforward and user friendly, with big physical heater dials and even an old-fashioned handbrake for those of us not convinced that everything needs to be controllled via touchscreen or telepathy.
The interior, however, is still cursed by a very conservative design and Suzuki’s scratch ‘n’ sniff plastics. When other Japanese and Korean brands have largely managed to leave the shiny brittle materials in the bin marked “1990s stereotype”, Suzuki still struggles to keep up with them and other mainstream European brands.
That wouldn’t be so bad if the S-Cross was positioned as a budget model but our test car is more than £30k, where you’ll find plenty of alternatives with much to recommend them.
At its entry price of £25,000, you can make an argument for the S-Cross as a more spacious, more capable alternative to compact B-SUVs like the Vauxhall Mokka or Ford Puma. But north of £30,000 you’ll find larger options such as the Ford Kuga, Nissan Qashqai or Kia Sportage start to appear.
In fairness to Suzuki, the Ultra trim is very well specified and features the brand’s well-respected all-wheel-drive system with selectable drive modes plus an optional automatic transmission. It’s also true that a high-spec, all-wheel-drive version of those C-segment rivals can run to £40k, but they all offer better looks, refinement and far nicer, more spacious interiors.
Unless you need all-wheel-drive, the cheaper Motion trim brings most of the equipment you’ll want, from keyless entry and a generous suite of driver assistance systems to heated seats and adaptive cruise control. The all-wheel drive aside, Ultra’s biggest additions are a panoramic sunroof, larger touchscreen with sat nav and a 360-degree camera.
As with previous iterations of the S-Cross, this latest model is once again a marked improvement over the previous generation. But you wouldn’t expect any less. The issue is that it feels a little adrift in a packed sea of cars.
Lower-priced Motion models make sense when considered against similarly priced B-SUVs, where they offer more space and spec for the money. But in the higher Ultra trim it starts to compete against some serious C-segment players, where buyers might sacrifice all-wheel-drive and some gadgets for better space and quality.

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 gave no motive for the attack in Highland Park, a close-knit community on the shores of Lake Michigan that has long drawn the rich and sometimes famous.
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 Nicolas Toledo, who was visiting his family in Illinois from Mexico. He was shot and 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.
“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 (8 kilometers) north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man’s photo and warned that he was likely armed and dangerous.
Authorities initially said Crimo, whose father once ran for mayor of Highland Park, 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 died at a hospital. Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn’t have information on the sixth.
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, who was in his late 70s, as a band passed them.
“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.
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 the start of the year, there have been 15 shootings where four or more people have been killed, including the Highland Park one, according to The Associated Press/USA TODAY/Northeastern University mass killing database.
As is common on holiday weekends, nearby Chicago grappled with scores of shootings. Eight people died from shootings in the city over the July 4 weekend, according to the police department. Sixty others were shot.
However, the city saw fewer people shot than during last year’s Independence Day weekend.
The parade 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.
Teams of FBI agents on Tuesday peeked into trash cans, looked under picnic blankets and scoured Highland Park’s Central Avenue as they searched for evidence at the site of the shooting.
Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering told NBC’s “Today” show that she did not know where the gun came from but that it was “legally obtained.”
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 reflected 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.
Crimo’s father, Bob, a longtime deli owner, ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Highland Park in 2019, calling himself “a person for the people.”
The community of about 30,000 on Chicago’s north shore has mansions and sprawling lakeside estates and was once home to NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Gina Troiani and her 5-year-old 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. “There were people that got separated from their families, looking for them. Others just dropped their wagons, grabbed their kids and started running.”

By Tom Balmforth
KYIV (Reuters) - Though Russia can claim a prize with its capture of Ukraine's eastern Luhansk region, it is far from Moscow's ambitious early war aims and does not deal Kyiv a decisive military blow.
The Russian assault will now switch its focus to the rest of the Donbas industrial heartland, but Kyiv will find it easier to defend fortified positions in Donetsk region and the battles that will shape the war's course still lie ahead, military analysts said.
"I think it's a tactical victory for Russia but at an enormous cost within the context of redefined military goals," said Neil Melvin, a London-based RUSI think tank analyst.
Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated his troops on Monday for "liberating" Luhansk region, promising medals for heroism and saying that soldiers should get some rest. Three Russian cosmonauts sent a celebratory message from space.
It is a milestone for a war machine that abandoned an assault on Kyiv in the conflict's early weeks to focus on capturing the Donbas, made up of Luhansk and Donetsk - swathes of which Kyiv still controls.
Russia says it wants to wrest the Donbas from Ukraine on behalf of Moscow-backed separatists in two self-proclaimed people's republics whose independence it recognised on the eve of the war.
The Battle for the Donbas began around mid-April and it has taken since then for Russia to drive Ukraine from just Luhansk, a large chunk of which was already held by Moscow-backed separatist proxies before the Feb. 24 invasion.
"This (the capture of Luhansk) is a redefined objective and a very small objective in a way. And Russia has put its full military force into achieving this goal and still it has taken nearly 60 days," Melvin said.
Russia's initial war aims went far beyond the Donbas and capturing Luhansk region, and likely included a change of government or at least altering ex-Soviet Ukraine's westward orientation, said Rob Lee of the U.S.-based Foreign Policy Research Institute. They also included "de-militarising" Ukraine.
"Clearly Russia had more ambitious aims at the beginning of the war," he said.
'IT HURTS A LOT'
Russia has switched its battlefield tactics, using long-range shelling to force Ukrainian forces from positions before sending in ground forces, making slow, grinding progress reminiscent of World War One, analyst say.
"This isn't a way to build momentum; they're taking relatively small amount of territory each day and in the context of modern warfare, this is very slow progress. The Russians are burning through their advanced equipment and personnel, so they are paying a price for this," said Melvin.
Ukraine's governor of Luhansk region told Reuters its capture after Ukraine withdrew from Lysychansk city was a "painful" loss, but that it had saved soldiers from being completely surrounded and pounded by artillery.
"In terms of the military, it is bad to leave positions, but there is nothing critical. We need to win the war, not the battle for Lysychansk," Governor Sergiy Gaidai said.
He predicted Donetsk region's city of Sloviansk and town of Bakhmut would be the targets of Russia's next offensive. He urged foreign powers to step up heavy weapons supplies, saying the West had "understood too late" the situation in Ukraine.
The invasion has killed thousands, displaced millions and flattened cities, particularly in Russian-speaking areas in the east and southeast of Ukraine.
Kyiv and the West say Russia is waging an unprovoked war of aggression and accuse Moscow of war crimes. Moscow denies that and calls its actions a special military operation to degrade Ukraine's military, root out dangerous nationalists in power and protect Russian speakers from Ukraine.
KEY BATTLE YET TO COME
Lee said it had been hard for Ukraine to hold positions in Lysychansk and the city of Sievierodonetsk, another frontline stronghold that fell on June 25, both of which lay on Ukrainian-held land that jutted into Russian-held territory.
Kyiv was unable to send heavy artillery and air defences to cover its troops there because they would have been exposed, a disadvantage it will not have if a new defensive line takes shape near Sloviansk and nearby Kramatorsk, he said.
"That kind of line should be easier for Ukraine to defend with long range artillery and long range air defence systems, so they can use that to provide cover so they get the Ukrainian troops fighting there because they're not in this deep salient," he said.
He predicted Russia might make more small gains in the east in the meantime.
Russia, which annexed the peninsula of Crimea in 2014, captured swathes of southern Ukraine, claiming control of the strategically important Kherson region that looks out onto the Black Sea and where Ukraine says it plans a counter-offensive.
The key battle of the war is still yet to come and Ukraine likely sees its counter-offensive in Kherson as of greater strategic importance than the fight for the Donbas, said Melvin.
"The Battle in Donbas is not going to be the strategic battle for Ukraine; that battle is likely to take place in the south," he said. | https://www.rawstory.com/analysis-russia-hails-capture-of-luhansk-region-but-big-ukraine-battles-lie-ahead/ | 2022-07-05T15:41:46Z | https://www.rawstory.com/analysis-russia-hails-capture-of-luhansk-region-but-big-ukraine-battles-lie-ahead/ | true | 10 |
Overturning Roe was right
I agree that the Constitution never gave a carte blanche “right” for women to abort a life. Therefore, the states have the right to decide the lawfulness and perimeters regarding abortion in their state.
I believe that a woman should be able to legally abort a life if there is a justifiable reason like rape, incest, severe religious belief against birth control, or a medical reason that it would be in the best interest of the mother or fetus.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, too many women of childbearing age make no effort to use the numerous birth control measures available and use abortion as birth control, some multiple times. As I commented above, the individual states should make the decisions as to how far they want to go on abortion.
If the people of the state disagree with what their politicians decide, then start voting them out of office.
— Linda Ramirez, Hemet
Court makes correct decision on Roe
It is amusing and at the same time frustrating to hear CNN report that the Supreme Court “eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion” with its decision to reverse Roe v. Wade. Any right (or lack thereof) to an abortion is not specifically noted in the Constitution, and thus falls under a provision of the Tenth Amendment that indicates such absences of specificity result in individual states deciding those issues.
What the Supreme Court has done is restore the appropriate states’ rights on abortion.
Nothing else. It has not made abortion illegal, yet reckless and uncontrolled protesters are ignorantly claiming precisely that.
— Bob Cunningham, Cherry Valley
Roe overturned
Every single woman of childbearing age was born under the auspices of Roe with the knowledge, perhaps just in the back of their minds, that abortion was always available as a last resort to an unwanted pregnancy regardless of the cause of said condition.
Was last week’s ruling right or wrong?
Said ruling only affects women of the age when they can become pregnant. My opinion is that only their opinion matters.

Sheriff: Kentucky police fatally shot man who fired at them
INEZ, Ky. (AP) — Police in eastern Kentucky fatally shot a man who fired at responding officers, a sheriff said.
Martin County Sheriff John Kirk told WSAZ-TV that two Kentucky State Police troopers and a Martin County deputy responded Monday night to a call about gunshots being fired near the Davella community and a man at the scene began firing at them as they arrived.
At least one officer returned fire, killing the suspect, Kirk said. No officers were wounded.
Kentucky State Police Post 9 spokesperson Michael Coleman told WYMT-TV that the scene was no longer active Tuesday morning, but the investigation was continuing.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two Philadelphia police officers working at the city’s Fourth of July celebration on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway suffered graze wounds when shots rang out late Monday night, causing scores of frightened people to flee the scene on foot.
It’s not clear what sparked the shooting, which occurred around 9:45 p.m. Monday in front of the Philadelphia Art Museum, or if either officer was the intended target. One officer suffered a wound to the forehead — with officials saying the bullet was found in the officer’s hat — while the other was wounded in the shoulder.
Both officers were treated at a hospital and were later released. No other injuries were reported in the incident and no arrests have been made. Investigators have not yet determined where the shots were fired from or how many were fired.
In an overnight press conference, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, joined by Attorney General Josh Shapiro and Mayor Jim Kenney, said officers did not hear any shots or rounds fired.
Outlaw said it is too soon in the investigation to know if this was a ricochet of celebratory gunfire or an intentional shooting from long range.
“What really could have been a chaotic scene or a catastrophic scene wasn’t today, so I’m grateful for that, and I’m grateful for our personnel that were out there to get everyone else out of there safely,” Outlaw said.
Mayor Kenney said the increasing violence in the city has left him “looking forward to not being mayor.” He also cited frustration over efforts to toughen gun laws.
“This is a gun country. It’s crazy. We are the most armed country in world history and we are one of the least safe,” Kenney said. “I’m waiting for something bad to happen all the time. I’ll be happy when I’m not mayor and I can enjoy some stuff.”
As of Monday morning, no arrests had been made in the incident, but police say they are following up on several leads. The names of the injured officers have not yet been shared, but both have been treated and released from the hospital.
U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) tweeted that his “thoughts are with the officers and their families” after the shooting around 10 p.m.
Pennsylvania State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) released a statement saying he’s “absolutely gutted by the reports of a shooting tonight in the Philadelphia Art Museum area during the July 4th concert.”

The story of content production has changed massively in India especially with the emergence of OTT platforms.Currently, production houses are working on a variety of content pieces - stories from hinterlands, book adaptations and new age concepts which otherwise would not have not seen the day of light have found a place with the audiences.
The content is getting democratised more than ever as audiences across age groups, demographics and socio-economic groups are seeking more and more fresh concepts in the content, which is pushing production houses to create even more content.
At the
Brand World Summit 2022 organised by ETBrandEquity.com, Sameer Nair, chief executive officer of
Applause Entertainment engaged in a fireside chat with Anirban Roy Choudhury, assistant editor - special initiatives, ETBrandEquity.com and discussed its journey of producing shows that were able to catch the pulse of the nation.
The chat started with a highlight on the ‘need gap’ that exists in the OTT space. When Choudhury brought this up in front of Nair, he pointed towards a world that exists between
Naagin and Narcos. “That world is the need gap,” Nair said.
“There is an audience who watch daily soaps. There is a niche audience who watch English language content. But there is a large gap in between, those who want to grow up from
Naagin but can’t quite reach Narcos or Game of Thrones,” Nair added.
Nair opines that it should ideally be a combination of regional and international content. “In any case, now the big four broadcast streamers are mirroring their TV content on streaming. So you could technically watch
Star Plus on
Hotstar,” he added.
Nair also thinks that what's going to close this gap is the new kind of content that is available on streaming as compared to the available content on TV.
Diving further, Nair mentioned that streaming gives one an opportunity to watch at a convenient time. “It's a non-linear thing. You can watch multiple languages at the same time, you can watch domestic and international in the same service. The technology of streaming is what's making the change,” he said.
According to Nair, streaming benefits along with India's lowest data prices make for a lethal combination.
Highlighting the global aspirations, Nair shared, “One good thing that the global streamer has done is that the streamer is available across the world. So in the same way we watch the Money Heist or how we watch Narcos, audiences elsewhere can watch what we are making.”
He also mentioned that if one looks back at the history of audio-visual content, the big global superpower has been the US and Hollywood that distributed their content globally and made everyone watch it. “That's why we watch Spider Man and they don't necessarily watch what we do,” Nair added. Koreans, Israel and Latin America too, Nair said, were able to distribute their content in a similar manner. “So hopefully now we are next gen,” he added.
Nair highlights that consumers are now used to a higher quality of content.
"So when consumers in the current scenario have a certain standard, the very least we have to do is to match that. So I think with each passing year, with each passing show that we do or movie that we do, I think now the focus on quality is something that's also coming from audiences. It's not just us wanting to do it, if you don't do it, things don't do as well,” he said. | https://brandequity.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/business-of-brands/bws-2022-the-need-gap-between-naagin-and-narcos/92680875 | 2022-07-05T15:55:31Z | https://brandequity.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/business-of-brands/bws-2022-the-need-gap-between-naagin-and-narcos/92680875 | false | 2 |

Vegan mom found guilty of 1st-degree murder in starvation death of 18-month-old son
Published: Jul. 5, 2022 at 10:22 AM CDT|Updated: 38 minutes ago
FORT MYERS, Fla. (CNN) - A Florida mother has been found guilty of first-degree murder after her child died from starvation.
Sheila O’Leary and her husband Ryan Patrick O’Leary were indicted in December 2019 for abusing and neglecting their four children.
Their 18-month-old son died of malnutrition and dehydration, and the three other children were also found to be malnourished and underweight.
The couple reportedly told police they are vegans and only eat raw fruits and vegetables.
Now, the mother is facing a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Her sentencing is scheduled for July 25.
Ryan O’Leary is expected to go to trial later this year.

1974 Buick Electra Limited Sedan Is Down On the Denver Street

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Antony Blinken will hold talks with his Chinese counterpart this week in Indonesia at a meeting of foreign ministers from the Group of 20 bloc of the world’s leading industrialized nations, the State Department said Tuesday.
Blinken will see China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the G-20 gathering in Bali, the department said in a statement that made no mention of any possible meeting between Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who will also be attending the G-20 event.
Blinken and Lavrov last met in Geneva, Switzerland in January in what turned out to be a fruitless bid to forestall Russia's invasion of Ukraine a month later.
Since then, Blinken and Lavrov have not been in the same room, or even the same city, at the same time. It was not immediately clear if either of the two would have time or desire for a discussion in Bali.
The U.S. and China are at severe odds over numerous issues ranging from trade and human rights to Taiwan and disputes in the South China Sea. They are also divided over Russia’s war in Ukraine, with China supporting the Russian explanation for the conflict.
Blinken “will reinforce our commitment to working with international partners to confront global challenges, including food and energy insecurity and the threat Russia’s continued war against Ukraine presents to the international order,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said.
From Bali, Blinken will travel to Bangkok, Thailand, to make up for a trip to the Thai capital that he was forced to cancel late last year due to COVID-19 reasons. | https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/politics/2022/07/05/blinken-sets-g-20-meeting-with-chinese-fm-silent-on-russia/ | 2022-07-05T16:05:22Z | https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/politics/2022/07/05/blinken-sets-g-20-meeting-with-chinese-fm-silent-on-russia/ | false | 20 |

Most mornings for more than two pandemic-laden years, Mike Westhoff woke early, ate breakfast and then sat on his bed at 7 a.m. with a pen and yellow legal pad to do something he never had. He wrote for hours each day.
He wrote of listening with a young New York Giants assistant, Bill Belichick, as Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight taught footwork. He wrote of having a chair in his Miami Dolphins office reserved only for Don Shula’s Wednesday night meeting.
“What do you got?” Shula would say for Westhoff to present his special-teams plans.
Westhoff wrote of coaching on a team with quarterback Dan Marino (“the experience of a lifetime”), wrote how the New York Jets didn’t use Tim Tebow as planned (a “disgrace and a mess”) and wrote how a friendship with Dolphins executive Bill Parcells ended when Parcells sent a letter to the league accusing Westhoff of violating league rules for visiting a Dolphins practice in retirement and then re-joining the Jets the next week.
“With a miserable, chickens— letter, he destroyed what I believed was a great relationship,” Westhoff wrote.
Westhoff always was wonderfully open and opinionated as a special teams coach, and he’s no different with this book, “Figure It Out: My Thirty-Two year Journey While Revolutionizing Pro Football’s Special Teams.” He says Jets (and later Dolphins) general manager Mike Tannenbaum took them, “from a championship-level team to a bulls— operation,” with decisions like shutting Westhoff out of the 2012 draft process.
Westhoff prided himself on coaching creative specials teams back before the restrictive rules of today and by helping discover the talent for them. Take rookie Bernie Parmalee. Shula cut him in 1992. The paperwork was to be filed the next day at 1 p.m.
Westhoff told Parmalee to come to practice the next morning. He asked Reggie Roby to punt a line drive to guarantee a return. Parmalee made a tackle that, “sounded like an explosion,” Westhoff said, and he played nine years in the NFL.
These are the stories Westhoff tells with him at the center. He always had a healthy ego. When Jimmy Johnson retired from the Dolphins after the 1999 season, Westhoff discussed a succession plan in an empty team cafeteria with owner H. Wayne Huizenga.
Westhoff would be head coach. Marino would play on. Indianapolis assistant Gene Huey would bring the shotgun offense built for statuesque Peyton Manning to help an immobile Marino.
“Dan could’ve played two more years in the shotgun,” Westhoff said.
Huizenga chose Dave Wannstedt. Westhoff was off to the Jets a year later before ending his career with Sean Payton’s New Orleans Saints. So his book is a football journey. And more.
“The Biggest Fight of My Life,” he titles one chapter that began with surgery for back and leg pain at age 40 in 1988. His iliac artery was accidently cut in the surgery. He began bleeding out on the surgical table.
“They cut me and put a tube right down into my heart, pumping blood right into main artery to keep me alive,” he said.
A doctor entered the room, took over the surgery and saved Westhoff’s life. That didn’t solve the back and leg pain that was diagnosed as an egg-sized, cancerous tumor in his leg.
Thus began another chapter in his life — and his book. He went to Boston, where a new procedure meant his leg wasn’t amputated but remade with two metal plates, 25 screws and 60 staples.
He underwent chemotherapy, coached the Dolphins and threw up on the remote side of the field. He lost hair, weight — everything but hope. Some thought football lost perspective in that fight.
“Coaching saved me,” he says. “Coach Shula didn’t see me as a cancer victim. He saw me as who I could be again. He treated me like I wasn’t sick. That allowed me to see myself that way, too.”
Westhoff started in an NFL with few rules for special teams to the point the goal of his punt teams was to block an opponent over the sideline Gatorade table. His career ended with kickoffs and punts being almost taken out of the game, as he once said to NFL Commissioner to Roger Goodell.
“Mike, you’re the last person who can complain, because they’re changing because of you,” Goodell said.
He chuckles, his career done, his pen down, his opinions still strong. He attended a Dolphins minicamp practice in June. His thoughts?
“I wasn’t overly impressed,” he said. “They got a long way to go.”
As his titles says, “Figure It Out.”

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 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 26-foot swells and winds blowing at 34 mph against cliffs.
An attempt to tow the ship with tugboats into open ocean ended when a towline snapped in an 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 36-foot swell, to be undergoing and carrying out that work is incredibly impressive,” Perrottet said. | https://norfolkdailynews.com/news/national/news_national/sydney-floods-burden-50-000-around-australias-largest-city/article_7c7bd69e-fc70-11ec-9c13-7f2d33299645.html | 2022-07-05T16:13:17Z | https://norfolkdailynews.com/news/national/news_national/sydney-floods-burden-50-000-around-australias-largest-city/article_7c7bd69e-fc70-11ec-9c13-7f2d33299645.html | false | 61 |
Mitt Romney: U.S. Is a 'Nation in Denial' and the Return of Donald Trump Would 'Feed the Sickness'
Sen. Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican who was the party's nominee for president in 2012, has written an essay about Americans' political habit of blaming others while ignoring growing crises.
Citing the consequences of climate change, inflation and Donald Trump's false but insistent claims of a stolen election in 2020 as examples, Romney, 75, wrote for The Atlantic, "What accounts for the blithe dismissal of potentially cataclysmic threats? The left thinks the right is at fault for ignoring climate change and the attacks on our political system. The right thinks the left is the problem for ignoring illegal immigration and the national debt. But wishful thinking happens across the political spectrum. More and more, we are a nation in denial."
Quoting the former president, Romney said Trump's lie that he "won in a landslide" in the presidential election that sent Joe Biden to the White House is a "classic example of denial."
"Perhaps this is a branch of the same delusion that leads people to feed money into slot machines: Because I really want to win, I believe that I will win," he added.
Romney, who was one of seven Republican senators to vote "guilty" at Trump's second impeachment trial after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the only one to do the same in his first, also criticized members of Congress and President Biden in his essay.
"President Joe Biden is a genuinely good man, but he has yet been unable to break through our national malady of denial, deceit, and distrust," he wrote. "A return of Donald Trump would feed the sickness, probably rendering it incurable."
He continued: "Congress is particularly disappointing: Our elected officials put a finger in the wind more frequently than they show backbone against it. Too often, Washington demonstrates the maxim that for evil to thrive only requires good men to do nothing."
Looking to the past, Romney warned that "when entire countries fail to confront serious challenges, it doesn't end well," before adding, "If we continue to ignore the real threats we face, America will inevitably suffer serious consequences."

Crises like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, he said, "can shake the public consciousness," though he worries that "a crisis may come too late for a course correction that can prevent tragedy."
"The only cure for wishful thinking is leadership," Romney said, pointing to Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and Volodymyr Zelenskyy as examples of leaders who "showed us what real character looks like."

In closing, the senator expressed his "hope for a president who can rise above the din to unite us behind the truth."
"Several contenders with experience and smarts stand in the wings; we intently watch to see if they also possess the requisite character and ability to bring the nation together in confronting our common reality," he wrote, before adding a plea for those who don't hold an elected office or might not consider themselves political to confront the dangerous denialism he sees as a "cataclysmic" threat to the country.
"While we wait, leadership must come from fathers and mothers, teachers and nurses, priests and rabbis, businessmen and businesswomen, journalists and pundits," Romney wrote. "That will require us all to rise above ourselves — above our grievances and resentments — and grasp the mantle of leadership our country so badly needs." | https://people.com/politics/mitt-romney-us-nation-denial-return-donald-trump-would-feed-sickness/ | 2022-07-05T16:16:14Z | https://people.com/politics/mitt-romney-us-nation-denial-return-donald-trump-would-feed-sickness/ | true | 1 |

After more than four months of ferocious fighting, Russia claimed a key victory: full control over one of the two provinces in Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland.
But Moscow’s seizure of the last major stronghold of Ukrainian resistance in Luhansk province came at a steep price. The critical question now is whether Russia can muster enough strength for a new offensive to complete its capture of the Donbas and make gains elsewhere in Ukraine.
“Yes, the Russians have seized the Luhansk region, but at what price?” asked Oleh Zhdanov, a military analyst in Ukraine, noting that some Russian units involved in the battle lost up to a half their soldiers.
Even President Vladimir Putin acknowledged Monday that Russian troops involved in action in Luhansk need to “take some rest and beef up their combat capability.”
That raises doubts about whether Moscow’s forces and their separatist allies are ready to quickly thrust deeper into Donetsk, the other province that makes up the Donbas. Observers estimated in recent weeks that Russia controlled about half of Donetsk, and battle lines have changed little since then.
What happens in the Donbas could determine the course of the war. If Russia succeeds there, it could free up its forces to grab even more land and dictate the terms of any peace agreement. If Ukraine, on the other hand, manages to pin the Russians down for a protracted period, it could build up the resources for a counteroffensive.
Exhausting the Russians has long been part of the plan for the Ukrainians, who began the conflict outgunned — but hoped Western weapons could eventually tip the scales in their favor.
They are already effectively using heavy howitzers and advanced rocket systems sent by the U.S. and other Western allies, and more is on the way. But Ukrainian forces have said they remain badly outmatched.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said recently that Russian forces were firing 10 times more ammunition than the Ukrainian military.
After a failed attempt at a lightning advance on the capital of Kyiv in the opening weeks of the war, Russian forces withdrew from many parts of northern and central Ukraine and turned their attention to the Donbas, a region of mines and factories where Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting the Ukrainians since 2014.
Since then, Russia has adopted a slow-and-steady approach that allowed it to seize several remaining Ukrainian strongholds in Luhansk over the course of recent weeks.
While Ukrainian officials have acknowledged that their troops have withdrawn from the city of Lysychansk, the last bulwark of their resistance in Luhansk, the presidential office said Tuesday the military was still defending small areas in the province.
Zhdanov, the analyst, predicted that the Russians would likely rely on their edge in firepower to “apply the same scorched earth tactics and blast entire cities away” in Donetsk. The same day that Russia claimed it had taken Lysychansk, new artillery attacks were reported in Donetsk.
But Russia’s approach is not without drawbacks. Moscow has not given a casualty count since it said some 1,300 troops were killed in the first month of fighting, but Western officials have said that was just a fraction of real losses. Since then, Western observers have noted that the number of Russian troops involved in combat in Ukraine has dwindled, reflecting both heavy attrition and the Kremlin’s failure to fill up the ranks.
The limited manpower has forced Russian commanders to avoid ambitious attempts to encircle large areas in the Donbas, opting for smaller maneuvers and relying on heavy artillery barrages to slowly force the Ukrainians to retreat.
The military has also relied heavily on separatists, who have conducted several rounds of mobilization, and Western officials and analysts have said Moscow has increasingly engaged private military contractors. It has also tried to encourage Russian men who have done their tour of duty to sign up again, though it’s is unclear how successful that has been.
While Putin so far has refrained from declaring a broad mobilization that might foment social discontent, recently proposed legislation suggested that Moscow was looking for other ways to replenish the ranks. The bill would have allowed young conscripts, who are drafted into the army for a year and barred from fighting, to immediately switch their status and sign contracts to become full professional soldiers. The draft was shelved amid strong criticism.
Some Western officials and analysts have argued that attrition is so heavy that it could force Moscow to suspend its offensive at some point later in the summer, but the Pentagon has cautioned that even though Russia has been churning through troops and supplies at rapid rates it still has abundant resources.
U.S. director of national intelligence Avril Haines said Putin appeared to accept the slow pace of the advance in the Donbas and now hoped to win by crushing Ukraine’s most battle-hardened forces.
“We believe that Russia thinks that if they are able to crush really one of the most capable and well-equipped forces in the east of Ukraine … that will lead to a slump basically in the Ukrainian resistance and that that may give them greater opportunities,” Haines said.
If Russia wins in the Donbas, it could build on its seizure of the southern Kherson region and part of neighboring Zaporizhzhia to try to eventually cut Ukraine off from its Black Sea coast all the way to the Romanian border. If that succeeded, it would deal a crushing blow to the Ukrainian economy and also create a corridor to Moldova’s separatist region of Transnistria that hosts a Russian military base.
But that is far from assured. Mykola Sunhurovsky, of the Razumkov Center, a Kyiv-based think tank, predicted that growing supplies of heavy Western weapons, including HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, will help Ukraine turn the tide of the war.
“The supplies of weapons will allow Ukraine to start a counteroffensive in the south and fight for Kherson and other cities,” Sunhurovsky said.
But Ukraine has also faced massive personnel losses: up to 200 soldiers a day in recent weeks of ferocious fighting in the east, according to officials.
“Overall, local military balance in Donbas favors Russia, but long term trends still favor Ukraine,” wrote Michael Kofman, an expert on the Russian military and program director at the Virginia-based CNA think tank. “However, that estimate is conditional on sustained Western military assistance, and is not necessarily predictive of outcomes. This is likely to be a protracted war.”

After the U.S. Supreme Court revoked the federal right to abortion that’s been in place for half a century, companies like Amazon, Disney, Apple and JP Morgan pledged to cover travel costs for employees who live in states where abortion is now illegal so they can terminate pregnancies.
But they gave no details on how they will do this and it’s not clear if they will be able to — legally — while protecting employees’ privacy and keeping them safe from prosecution.
“It’s challenging for employers to navigate what is a rapidly evolving legal landscape,” Sharon Masling, the head of Morgan Lewis’s reproductive rights task force, told the Associated Press. “There’s going to be a lot of litigation over the next few years.”
While it’s unclear to what, if any, extent states will go to punish women leaving their state for an abortion, President Joe Biden said the government will work to ensure women aren't prosecuted for leaving states where abortions aren't legal.
Some governors have said they would not cooperate with states investigating women seeking an abortion where it is legal. | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/companies-could-face-hurdles-covering-abortion-travel-costs | 2022-07-05T16:18:24Z | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/companies-could-face-hurdles-covering-abortion-travel-costs | false | 11 |
US President Joe Biden last week signed an executive order, splitting $7 billion Afghan funds deposited with the Federal Reserve. Afghanistan will now only get $3.5 billion as part of the humanitarian aid while the remaining $3.5 billion will be given to 9/11 victim families in the US. Afghanistan has about $9 billion in assets overseas, including the $7 billion in the US. The rest is mostly in Germany, the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland banks. International funding was stopped and Afghan money was frozen after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan last August. The Taliban expectedly have expressed anger over United States' move and have sought to unfreeze all funds.
Taliban spokesman Mohammad Naeem said on Twitter that the theft and seizure of money held or frozen by the US of the Afghan people represents the lowest level of human and moral decay of a country and a nation. On February 12, the Afghan central bank, Da Afghanistan Bank, demanded in a statement that the Biden administration reverse its decision. The move has also elicited angry responses from the Afghan public; there have been a series of angry demonstrations in Kabul, with common Afghani seething in anger over the US move.

Expert's criticism
The decision has also drawn criticism from human rights groups, lawyers and financial experts who have warned that the move could gut the country's central bank for years to come, crippling its ability to establish monetary policy and manage the country's balance of payments. Experts also said that the $3.5 billion set aside for humanitarian assistance would do little good unless the United States lifted restrictions on the Afghan banking system that have obstructed the flow of aid into the country. John Sifton, the Asia advocacy director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement that the decision would create a problematic precedent for commandeering sovereign wealth and do little to address underlying factors driving Afghanistan's massive humanitarian crisis.
Torek Farhadi, a financial adviser to Afghanistan's former US-backed government, questioned the UN managing Afghan Central Bank reserves. He said those funds are not meant for humanitarian aid but "to back up the country's currency, help in monetary policy and manage the country's balance of payment". He also questioned the legality of Biden's order and said that these reserves belong to the people of Afghanistan, not the Taliban… Biden's decision is one-sided and does not match with international law, no other country on Earth makes such confiscation decisions about another country's reserves.

Some analysts also took to Twitter to question Biden's order. Michael Kugelman, deputy director of the Asia Programme at the US-based Wilson Centre, criticised the scheme to divert funds from Afghanistan in a tweet. Pakistan has also condemned the decision. Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Asim Iftikhar has called for the complete unfreezing of Afghanistan's assets. As reported by GeoTV, he said it is imperative for the international community to quickly act to address the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Afghanistan and to help revive the Afghan economy, as the two are inextricably linked. And the utilisation of Afghan funds should be the sovereign decision of Afghanistan.
The Debt
The Taliban, after taking control of Afghanistan had immediately claimed a right to the money. But what complicates the matter further is that a group of relatives of victims of the September 11 attacks, one of several groups who had demanded compensation for those killed in 9/11, have sought to seize this money to pay off their debt. This debt is based on a default judgement titled 'Havish vs Laden' of 2011, awarding $6 billion to a group of 9/11 victim families, as per a federal judge in New York. The parties named in the case, the Taliban, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda and Iran, never showed up (hence a default judgement). In its defence the Biden administration claims that this will open doors for expediting humanitarian aid to Afghan people, who are facing a lot of hardships.
The American media has lauded the decision, with Washington Post commenting in an article that though the issues, moral and legal, are extremely complex, with the ultimate disposition of the money up to a federal court in New York, the administration is surely right about one thing: Despite the desperate needs of the Afghan people, many of whom are at risk of starvation, it would be a mistake to put the money back at the disposal of Afghanistan's central bank, with no strings attached — as the Taliban demands.
"If Biden is ready to transfer money to the Taliban administration, does it means that USA is tacitly recognizing the Taliban government?" (Representational Image) | Wikimedia Commons
Pakistan's Dawn in its editorial has commented that President Biden's decision is simply appalling and lacks moral ground. It says further that for one, these assets belong to Afghanistan and not to the Taliban rulers. How can Washington justify inflicting collective punishment on the Afghans to penalise the Taliban? It raises a legal question as well. The money belongs to the Afghan central bank and therefore, should not be commandeered to pay the Taliban's judgement debt. None of the 19 hijackers involved in the horrific terrorist attacks on that tragic day were Afghans. True, the plotters used Afghan soil and were under the Taliban's protection, but to penalize the entire population implies that the attack had the sanction of the entire nation.
The decision compels one to compare this action to the colonial mindset or colonial thievery of the past. The absurdity is that the richest country in human history is maltreating one of the poorest, for compensating the victims of and redressing a crime committed 20 years, in which the Afghan people had no role. Further, the Biden decision also gives birth to another quagmire, if it's ready to transfer money to the Taliban administration, than doesn't it means that it is tacitly recognizing the Taliban government, leading other countries to engage with the Taliban without its formal recognition?

Sen. Uche Ekwunife, representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, has donated N1 million to DOSAD FC, Enugu-Ukwu for its planned playing tour of Iran and Bahrain.
The President of the club, Rev. Fr Obinna Dike, disclosed this on Tuesday in Awka, while briefing newsmen on the club’s preparations for the tour.
Dike, who is also the Director of Sports, Catholic Diocese of Awka, described the donation as a great relief to the club.
According to him, it will go a long way in helping to sort out travel logistics for some of the players.
He said the trip, involving 15 players and two officials, could not take place in June due to the paucity of funds.
“I am happy to announce to you that our playing tour of Iran and Bahrain is still on course, in spite of the challenges.
“Sen. Uche Ekwunife, representing Anambra Central where we are domiciled, has graciously donated N1 million to the club.
“This was in response to our appeal for funds to enable us to take care of some of our talented but indigent players in the team.
“It is our hope that their exposure will open economic opportunities for them and their families.
“We are grateful to the senator for believing in our project and giving it support,” he said.
Dike, a retired league referee, said the tour was one in a series of activities lined up for the team.
“Now, we have a lot of foreign clubs and scouts that are interested in what we are doing.
“They have decided that we come to them with our full team for a tour of scout and exchange programmes,” he said.
He called on well-meaning individuals and corporate bodies to assist the club to enable it to make the journey a reality.
Dike said that the gesture would help the players to actualise their dreams of becoming professional footballers.

Alleged Killer of Maltese Journalist Wishes He’d Asked for More Cash for the Hit in Jailhouse Confession
‘JUST BUSINESS’
One of the men accused of the murder of a high-profile Maltese journalist has made a shock confession in an interview from jail. Reuters reports that George Degiorgio owned up to the 2017 assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia and even moaned about the amount of money he claims to have been paid for the killing. Degiorgio said if he’d known more about Caruana Galizia—who exposed corruption committed by powerful people in Malta— before detonating the car bomb that killed her, he would have demanded a higher fee. “If I knew, I would have gone for 10 million, not 150,000,” Degiorgio said, referring to the amount in euros he said he was paid for the murder, which equates to around $154,000. “For me it was just business,” he added. “Yeah. Business as usual!” Degiorgio, who is accused of the cold-blooded killing along with two other men, one of whom is his brother, also reportedly said: “Of course I feel sorry.” | https://www.thedailybeast.com/alleged-killer-of-maltese-journalist-daphne-caruana-galizia-says-he-shouldve-asked-for-more-money-for-the-hit | 2022-07-05T16:21:29Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/alleged-killer-of-maltese-journalist-daphne-caruana-galizia-says-he-shouldve-asked-for-more-money-for-the-hit | false | 1 |

Dil Raju is one of the biggest names in Tollywood, who has been producing and distributing films for over two decades, under his banner Sri Venkateswara Creations. Now he is soon to add a new feather to his cap by becoming the owner of a new film studio.
Hyderabad has developed as a centre for filming. Bollywood, Kollywood and Mollywood celebrities frequently visit Ramoji Film City, one of the largest film studios in the world. Bollywood and Tamil stars including Salman Khan, Vijay, Yash, Mohanlal, Hrithik Roshan, Suriya, Ajith and Rajinikanth frequently travel to Hyderabad to shoot their movies.
All film studios are finding it difficult to offer floors and places for these productions because there are so many movies and web series being produced. Allu Arjun’s family recently opened a studio of their own use in Hyderabad.
Chiranjeevi also has a plan to come up with his own studio. Now, Dil Raju is also joining the league. According to sources, the idea of having their own studio was given to Dil Raju by his daughter Hanshitha Reddy.
Dil Raju is planning to start his own film studio near Shamshabad town. The studio will be constructed on his own land, a few reports suggest.
The construction of the studio is expected to start soon. Dil Raju’s new studio could be a significant addition to Hyderabad’s already-vibrant film production infrastructure. An official announcement regarding the same will be made soon.
On the work front, Dil Raju’s first Tamil-language production Varisu starring Thalapathy Vijay is planned for a Pongal 2023 release.

A 13-year-old girl at the Highland Park Fourth of July parade did not mistake the sounds of gunfire for fireworks, like many others in attendance.
The teen was enjoying the summer holiday on Monday when a series of distinct pops cut through the sounds of celebration in the affluent Chicago suburb. Steven Tilken, her grandmother’s husband, told CNN he thought the noise at first was part of the festivities, but that the girl, who had just undergone active shooter drills at school, immediately recognized the danger.
She “all of a sudden hit the ground sobbing,” and brought her brother with her, Tilken recalled.
“My wife just stood there — was standing for like a second or two — and then she realized what was going and so she dove down to protect their bodies with her body and I stood for another like couple of seconds in disbelief because I didn’t see the carnage that was happening aback of me,” he said. “And I threw my body on top of theirs.”
They were still in the line of fire however and managed to flee to a nearby store, where they sheltered in a basement.
“We were just sitting ducks right there and one bullet could pass through all of our bodies,” he said. “I realized ... it’s just your random luck that I wasn’t shot.”
About 20 other people were hiding out with them.
“My wife’s granddaughter, she was shaken but in the basement, she, you know, tapped into some inner resources and was trying to be helpful to people with young kids and helping keeping the kids entertained and actually helping the two woman that had some of the minor wounds,” Tilken said.
At one point, he stepped outside in bid to better understand what had just happened. About eight feet from the door, Tilken saw a body “in a pool of blood.”
Police carrying assault weapons later entered the basement seeking out the gunman. They also brought a doctor to assess those with injuries.
Hours after the shooting, which left six people dead, authorities arrested Robert Crimo III, who has not yet been formally charged. | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-active-shooter-drill-highland-park-parade-20220705-bs226wjwybhetlqe6bsgzt7rfu-story.html | 2022-07-05T16:30:03Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-active-shooter-drill-highland-park-parade-20220705-bs226wjwybhetlqe6bsgzt7rfu-story.html | true | 1 |
Former Twin Liam Hendriks calls for action on guns after Highland Park shooting
Liam Hendriks, the former Minnesota Twins pitcher now plying his trade for the Chicago White Sox, is attracting headlines after calling for action on guns in the wake of the mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Illinois Monday.
Six people were killed and dozens were injured after a gunman fired dozens of shots from a rooftop as the parade took place in Highland Park, a northern suburb of Chicago.
Just hours later, the White Sox played the Twins in Chicago, with a moment of silence held to commemorate the victims of the shooting.
In the wake of the game, which the Twins won 6-3, Hendriks didn't pull his punches when asked about the events of Independence Day just 30 miles north of Guaranteed Rate Field.
“Unfortunately, in this day and age, it’s becoming all too commonplace," Hendriks, a native of Australia, told reporters following the game. "I think the access to the weaponry that is being kind of used in these things is …. Something needs to change. Something needs to be done. Something needs to happen because there’s way too many people losing their lives and it’s not only about the people who lose their lives.

"Too many people are dying and it’s no excuse to say, 'I’m on this side or that side.' At some point, things need to get done or else it’s getting to the point where civilization as you know it may be ending just to the fact there’s two drastically different sides."
Hendriks played for the Twins between 2011 and 2013, having been signed by the organization out of Australia in 2007. While he initially struggled in the major leagues, in recent years he has become one of the best closers in the game, first with the Oakland A's and now with the White Sox.
The Highland Park shooting is the latest in a growing number of gun massacres in the United States, coming less than six weeks after a shooting that left 19 elementary students and two teachers dead in Uvalde, Texas, which itself came ten days after a mass shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, in which ten people were killed.
They have sparked renewed calls for new gun control measures, most of which are opposed by Republicans in Congress and state legislatures. A bill has passed Congress following the Uvalde massacre however, which when signed will enhance background checks for gun buyers under 21, offer incentives for states to implement red flag laws, and strengthen laws against straw purchasing and gun trafficking.
While Illinois has among some of the strongest gun control laws in the country, it is surrounded by states with weaker laws, such as Indiana and Wisconsin.
A recent analysis of gun crime in Illinois found that only around half of guns used in crimes in the state actually come from Illinois. | https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/twins/former-twin-liam-hendriks-calls-for-action-on-guns-after-highland-park-shooting | 2022-07-05T16:30:06Z | https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/twins/former-twin-liam-hendriks-calls-for-action-on-guns-after-highland-park-shooting | true | 1 |
As Draupadi Murmu, National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) Presidential candidate, reaches Guwahati to seek support from MLAs of the Mitro Joth Sarkar on July 6, 300km away from the capital, Rukmini Kisan Borkotoky awaits her call.
In 2006, Borkotoky, a young grassroots Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker from the tea garden community, had met then MLA from Odisha Murmu in Bishwanath.
“She had come to campaign for Diganta Ghatowar, the BJP candidate. The district BJP officer-bearers introduced me to Murmu madam. She was an MLA from Mayuganj in Rairangpur district of Odisha. I stayed with her for seven days. We travelled in the same car with no security. There was disturbance in Assam as we moved into the interior of Bishwanath, along the Arunachal border. We stopped by the roadside tea stalls for morning and evening snacks as we went to Majuli and Pratapgarh. She is extremely simple and very organised. We stayed in the same room. She is an early riser, however, she used to wake me up after finishing her morning workout. She was like my elder sister advising me on life and the way of living. I introduced her to Pallab Lochan Das, BJP MP, who was a young student leader. He invited madam and me for dinner,” reminisced Borkotoky.
“Once I took her to a restaurant as she was our guest. She asked me if I wanted to make her ill by feeding her such oily food. After that, we never had food in restaurants,” she said.
Murmu did not forget her young friend from Assam much later when she became the Governor of Jharkhand.
“She remembers me and calls me at times. She had asked me to visit Jharkhand when she was the Governor. She even asked me for our pictures from 2006. A few days ago, someone from Odisha called me to inform that madam will be in Assam. They said they would inform me. If I get a call, I will go to Guwahati to meet her. Once she becomes the President, it will be difficult to see her,” said Borkotoky.
THE SCHEDULE
Murmu will arrive at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport in Guwahati at 8.30 pm on Tuesday. The NDA candidate will be received at the airport by Water Resources, Information and Public Relations Minister Pijush Hazarika.
Over the next two days, Murmu will be in Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya to muster support for the July 18 presidential election.
She will head to Itanagar on Wednesday morning. From there, she will head towards Meghalaya’s Shillong.
On July 7, she will campaign in Guwahati and hold discussions with MLAs of political parties supporting the BJP government. “She is the pride of the women of the country. She represents us, our strength and capabilities,” said Borkotoky.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) — FBI agents peeked into trash cans and under picnic blankets Tuesday as they searched for more evidence at the site where a gunman fired on an Independence Day parade from a suburban Chicago rooftop in an attack that killed at least six people.
The assailant’s shots were initially mistaken for fireworks before hundreds of panicked revelers fled in terror in Highland Park, a close-knit community on the shores of Lake Michigan that has long drawn the rich and sometimes famous.
A day later, baby strollers, lawn chairs and other items left behind by panicked parade goers remained inside a wide police perimeter. Outside the police tape, some residents drove up to collect blankets and chairs they abandoned.
Authorities detained a suspect Monday evening in a traffic stop that led to a brief chase. Police initially described the man as a person of interest, but a spokesman for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force said Tuesday that he is now considered a suspect.
Charges were expected to be announced soon, according to a spokeswoman for the Lake County state’s attorney, Sara Avalos.
Authorities offered no motive for the attack.
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 Nicolas Toledo, who was visiting his family in Illinois from Mexico. He was shot and 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.
“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 (8 kilometers) north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man’s photo and warned that he was likely armed and dangerous.
Authorities initially said Crimo, whose father once ran for mayor of Highland Park, was 22, but an FBI bulletin and Crimo’s social media said he was 21.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn’t have information on the sixth.
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, who was in his late 70s, as a band passed them.
“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.
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 the start of the year, there have been 15 shootings where four or more people have been killed, including the Highland Park one, according to The Associated Press/USA TODAY/Northeastern University mass killing database.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O’Neill 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.
The task force spokesman, Christopher Covelli, said that Crimo legally purchased the gun in Illinois within the past year.
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.
Crimo’s father, Bob, a longtime deli owner, ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Highland Park in 2019, calling himself “a person for the people.”
The community of about 30,000 on Chicago’s north shore has mansions and sprawling lakeside estates and was once home to NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Gina Troiani and her 5-year-old 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. “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) — German biotech company CureVac said Tuesday it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against rival BioNTech for work that it says contributed to the development of the BioNTech-Pfizer coronavirus vaccine. BioNTech said its work is original and it would “vigorously” contest the claim.
CureVac last year reported disappointing results from late-stage testing of its own COVID-19 shot. The company said it was seeking “fair compensation” from BioNTech for the alleged infringement, but it didn't cite an amount.
CureVac said it would not pursue a court injunction and doesn't “intend to take legal action that impedes the production, sale or distribution” by BioNTech and partner Pfizer of their successful Comirnaty vaccine.
Both CureVac and BioNTech have worked to develop the messenger RNA technology employed in their respective vaccines and potentially for other uses.
CureVac said it filed its suit against BioNTech and two subsidiaries at the state court in Duesseldorf. It asserted in a statement that its intellectual property portfolio “protects multiple inventions that are considered essential to the design and development of BioNTech’s SARS CoV-2 mRNA vaccine, among others.”
Those, it said, relate to the engineering of mRNA molecules, including sequence modifications to increase stability, and mRNA vaccine formulations specific to SARS CoV-2 vaccines.
BioNTech said in a statement that it values and respects valid intellectual property rights, adding that its “work is original, and we will vigorously defend it against all allegations of patent infringement.”
“However, we are aware that it is not unusual that other companies in the pharmaceutical industry, having witnessed the success of Comirnaty, are now suggesting that the vaccine potentially infringes their intellectual property rights,” it said.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Phan Thị Kim Phuc, the girl in the famous 1972 Vietnam napalm attack photo, on Monday escorted 236 refugees from Russia’s war in Ukraine on a flight from Warsaw to Canada.
Phuc’s iconic Associated Press photo in which she runs with her napalm-scalded body exposed, was etched on the private nongovernmental organization plane that is flying the refugees to the city of Regina, the capital of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
Kim, 59, a Canadian citizen, said she wants her story and work for refugees to be a message of peace. With her husband, Bui Huy Toan, she traveled from Toronto to board the humanitarian flight.
The refugees, mostly women and children from across Ukraine, are among thousands of Ukrainians that Canada has provided humanitarian visas in the wake of Russia’s invasion of their country. Millions of Ukrainians have fled since Russia attacked on Feb. 24. Almost 5.5 million have registered with humanitarian organizations in Europe, according to the U.N.
Canada is among many Western countries offering Ukrainian refugees safe haven.
The founder of the NGO Solidaire, Argentine philanthropist and pilot Enrique Pineyro, piloted the Boeing 787. Oscar Camps from the Spanish organization Open Arms was also aboard.
AP photographer Nick Ut took the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo of Kim and other children fleeing a napalm attack in south Vietnam in June 1972. | https://kdvr.com/news/nationalworld-news/ap-international/1972-napalm-girl-escorts-ukraine-refugees-to-canada/ | 2022-07-05T16:41:01Z | https://kdvr.com/news/nationalworld-news/ap-international/1972-napalm-girl-escorts-ukraine-refugees-to-canada/ | false | 27 |

LOS ANGELES, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Arqit Quantum Inc. f/k/a Centricus Acquisition Corp. ("Arqit" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: ARQQ) (NASDAQ: CENH) for violations of the federal securities laws.
Investors who purchased the Company's securities between September 7, 2021 and April 18, 2022, inclusive (the ''Class Period''), and all holders of Centricus securities as of the record date for the special meeting of shareholders held on August 31, 2021 to consider approval of the merger between Arqit and Centricus (the "Merger") and entitled to vote on the Merger, are encouraged to contact the firm before July 5, 2022.

The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.
According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Arqit's encryption technology would only be effective with the widespread adoption of new standards for telecommunication and the development of new protocols. Cybersecurity officials for the United Kingdom were not convinced of the Company's technology and its viability in a 2020 meeting. The British government only provided grants to the Company, it was not a customer. At the time of the Merger, the Company only had an early prototype of its technology. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Arqit, investors suffered damages.
Join the case to recover your losses.

Attempts to rebuild Northern Ireland’s health service risk being sabotaged by the absence of a budget, Robin Swann has warned.
The North’s Health Minister said it was “hard to imagine a worse possible time to deprive our health service of budgetary certainty” in a written statement to MLAs providing an update on reform of services.
A planned multi-year budget which would have prioritised spending in health has not been progressed due to the collapse of the powersharing institutions at Stormont.
The DUP is calling for action from the UK government addressing its concerns around the Northern Ireland Protocol before re-entering the Executive.
Ministers are currently in position in caretaker roles but are operating with limited powers.
In his statement Mr Swann updated the Assembly on a number of initiatives, including his decision to commission a design plan mapping out the future shape of hospital services across Northern Ireland.
He also briefed MLAs on the review of general surgery and initiatives to improve stroke care and rebuild orthopaedic surgery provision.
But Mr Swann warned that “much more needs to be done to fix our health service”.
He said: “The serious problems we are facing have built up over many years and have been significantly exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“In my considered view, it is hard to imagine a worse possible time to deprive our health service of budgetary certainty across the short, medium and long term. This situation threatens to seriously delay, if not thwart, the progress we need to make.
“It is difficult to envisage what it would be like to run a household budget without any certainty on income levels. Everyday decisions on expenditure would be shrouded in doubt, concern and insecurity.
“Consider then that we are condemning a £7 billion-a-year health and social care system to similar circumstances.”
He added: “Not long ago, patients and staff in Northern Ireland had the promise of a multi-year budget, with the potential for longer-term planning and sustained investment.
“As things stand at present, we have no budget at all. Prolonging this state of affairs would be tantamount to sabotaging the rebuilding of our health service.
“Currently, every decision I make on approving additional expenditure is being taken at risk.”
Mr Swann said funding pressures would become more significant as the financial year progressed.
He added: “I continue to be lobbied by members to further increase funding across a wide range of vitally important health and social care services.
“My inability to meet these demands is not due to any unwillingness on my behalf. Not only do I not have unlimited funds, I do not even have a confirmed budget.
“Members have a right and indeed a responsibility to press ministers on behalf of their constituents. At the same time, public debate on public expenditure must not be conducted in a collective state of denial.”
Meanwhile, the Royal Colleges of Physicians have issued a joint plea, urging action to protect health services in Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland currently has the longest hospital waiting lists in the UK and experts have warned that the current structures are not sustainable.
Professor Andrew Elder, president of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, said: “We are calling for a multi-year budget because it would bring much-needed certainty to health budget planning.
“Healthcare workers and patients need to know what to expect from health and social care over the coming years, and a multi-year budget agreement will help to do that while giving the health department the tools to address treatment backlogs.
“We would advise that the Bengoa recommendations be taken forward to benefit the people of Northern Ireland.
“But this can only be done with the full support of all political parties in the province.” | https://carlow-nationalist.ie/2022/07/05/lack-of-budget-risks-sabotaging-health-service-reform-in-north-swann-warns/ | 2022-07-05T16:50:25Z | https://carlow-nationalist.ie/2022/07/05/lack-of-budget-risks-sabotaging-health-service-reform-in-north-swann-warns/ | true | 3 |

A photo that shows an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer posing with his daughter, who is also a fighter pilot, has taken the internet by storm.
According to the IAF, Air Commodore Sanjay Sharma flew a Hawk sortie with his daughter, Flying Officer Ananya Sharma, in Karnataka's Bidar. The IAF said that the duo had created history by flying in the same formation of Hawk-132 aircraft.
"There has not been any previous instance in the IAF where a father and his daughter were part of the same fighter formation for a mission. It was the mission where Air Cmde Sanjay and Fg Offr Ananya were more than just father and daughter. They were comrades, who had full faith in each other as fellow wingmen would," the IAF said.
The photos uploaded on social media show the father and daughter posing in front of a fighter jet.
Junior Sharma is currently undergoing training in Bidar. Once her training ends, she will graduate onto a faster and technologically superior IAF jet.
Air Marshal (retd) PK Roy commended the duo, saying, "Hope to see many more in (the) future."
Air Commodore Sharma was commissioned in the IAF's fighter stream in 1989.
His daughter, on the other hand, was commissioned as a fighter pilot in December last year. This comes five years after the IAF decided to accept female fighter pilots into the fighter squadron.

Why America today is a politically broken land
America is politically broken. And this is reflected in three clear ways.
One, power is diffused. With Joe Biden’s election and the Democratic win in the House and the Senate, liberals, on paper, wield federal executive and legislative power. Going by the popular vote, Democrats represent the majority opinion. But a closer look reveals that the Right wields real institutional power.
This was most visible in the Supreme Court’s recent decisions on guns, abortion, and the climate. Together, the decisions represent the triumph of social illiberalism and economic conservativism. Donald Trump’s nomination of three new justices has given the Right medium-term dominance over the court. This also allows the court to selectively throw issues back to Congress, as in the case of the environment where they read down the power of federal agencies, or to states as in the case of abortion.
But when you go to the states or the legislature, the Right prevails again.
Senate rules mean that unless a party has 60 of the 100 votes, it encounters the filibuster, a provision that allows any legislator to obstruct significant legislation by prolonging the debate. To overcome this, a party needs 51 votes to suspend filibuster requirements. The Democrats neither have 60 votes to push through their key legislative agenda, be it codifying a national law to protect abortion or voting rights, nor 51 votes to suspend the filibuster, given the opposition from within the party to tweak Senate rules. This means that Republicans, even without a majority, can effectively exercise a veto in the federal legislature.
In 23 states, the Republicans control the entire government apparatus, with party governors and a majority in both the State House and State Senate. There are nine other states where Republicans control the State Senate, another eight states where they control the State House, and another five states where they have governors. This means, in total, Republicans control 32 Senates, 30 Houses, and 28 governors at the state level. This gives them a huge edge in a system where state rights are constitutionally protected and are now in the process of being expanded.
Two, this diffusion of power, natural in a democratic system that prioritises checks and balances, is accompanied by a core clash in values.
The Republican Party is no longer the party of classical conservatism, but of the extreme Right. It has tapped into white male anxieties over the demographic and political transition underway in the country.
The right to abort and the right to access contraceptives directly enhanced women’s control over their bodies and led to an increase in their educational levels, workforce participation and political power. Today, fearful of how this has eroded patriarchy, the Republicans are attacking precisely these rights. The growing climate of acceptance around Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex Asexual (LGBTQIA+) rights saw legislation and judicial verdicts in favour of same-sex relationships and marriages. Today, fearful of what this means for their conception of an ideal Christian family, the Republicans are attacking the pedagogy around these issues.
The political empowerment of African-Americans and affirmative action gave black voices a seat at the high table, reflected in Barack Obama’s election as president, and created a robust black middle class. Today, fearful of precisely this power, the Republicans are attacking the right to vote and affirmative action. Immigrants, both from Asia and Central and South America, through hard work and persistence, rose up the American social, economic and political power system, and helped sustain American capitalism and economic edge. Today, fearful of this shift in demography, the Republicans are peddling the Great Replacement Theory — an absurd conspiracy that suggests elites are working to replace “native Americans”, read whites, with immigrants and people of colour.
In the immediate context, the Republicans have an edge due to the peculiarities of America’s electoral system where the electoral college, rather than popular vote, determines who becomes president and equal representation of all states in the Senate gives Republican states in the Midwest and south a disproportionate voice in the legislature. They also have an edge because of their ability to leverage contradictions within the more marginalised, as seen in increased Hispanic support for conservatives.
But in the longer term, the Democratic vision of a more inclusive America is more sustainable. Unlike India, where the constituency for liberalism is weak, in America, it is robust. African-Americans, women, sexual minorities, immigrants, and progressive Whites may not be on the same page on all issues, but none of them will allow an erosion of their rights without a pushback. It is a matter of a few electoral cycles, but if the Democrats keep up the ideological challenge and build coalitions, they have arithmetic on their side.
But the transition will be messy because of the third broken feature of American politics. Institutions no longer have the ability to manage the diffusion of power and mediate the core clash in values.
Two constitutional principles — the peaceful transfer of power and the independence and legitimacy of the judiciary — are under strain. A large segment of Republicans buys Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen. And a large segment of the Democrats has no faith in the judiciary. So, both electoral and non-electoral ways of resolving conflicts are in disrepair.
History shows that it is always a mistake to underestimate the US’s capacity for introspection and renewal. But a power structure where the Republicans exercise far more control over institutions than majority opinion would dictate; a clash in values where the Republican vision has electoral appeal at the moment and the Democratic promise will take time to materialise into sustainable political coalitions; and a breakdown in a consensus on the rules of the game, means that America is not just broken. It may remain broken for the foreseeable future.

Police nab Western Cape's most wanted suspect
The Police Ministry has welcomed the arrest of an alleged criminal mastermind who is believed to have played a central role in the multiple killings in Khayelitsha, in Cape Town.
Yanga Endrey Nyalara, also known as ‘Bara’, has been on the run from police for a few months and is wanted for a string of serious and violent crimes in the province.
The 30-year-old was arrested during an intelligence driven operation on Friday and made his first court appearance on Monday. Police Minister General Bheki Cele and Western Cape Provincial Commissioner Lt Gen Thembisile Patekile attended the court proceedings.
Minister Cele praised the investigative work and police operations that led to the high profile arrest.
“Police have done a good job putting this man - who thought he could live without impunity - behind bars. This arrest will gain us some ground in our efforts to fight crime in the province. We believe the arrest of ‘Bara’ will solve many other cases going forward, especially in the Khayelitsha area that has been torn by various scenes of multiple murders.”
Over and above the six murder charges, Nyalara has also been charged with the Prevention of Organised Crime Act, attempted murder, robbery, possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition as well as dealing in drugs.
The Ministry said it was encouraged that the SAPS in the province expected to make more arrests for crimes linked to Nyalara and that communities continue to come forward with valuable information that assists police investigations to deal decisively with crime. – SAnews.gov.za | https://www.sanews.gov.za/south-africa/police-nab-western-capes-most-wanted-suspect | 2022-07-05T16:59:40Z | https://www.sanews.gov.za/south-africa/police-nab-western-capes-most-wanted-suspect | false | 2 |
Britney Spears' Father Jamie Spears Denies Bugging Pop Star's Bedroom During Conservatorship
Britney Spears ' estranged father, Jamie Spears , denies he bugged the singer's bedroom while she was under her conservatorship, new documents reveal.
“I am informed of the allegation … that a listening device or ‘bug’ was placed [in] her bedroom as surveillance during the conservatorship. This allegation is false,” Jamie said in the court documents. “I never conducted or authorized any surveillance of Britney’s bedroom at any time, including during the conservatorship,” he added. “I am not aware of any such surveillance having occurred.”
Jamie also said that he "could and would testify" that his statement is "true and correct."
A documentary called The New York Times Presents: Controlling Britney Spears , accused Jamie of recording Britney, 40, in her California home. In the flick, a former security employee claimed that Jamie had secret audio recordings of the blonde babe in her bedroom, in addition to keeping text messages and calls from her cell phone.
After millions watched the movie, people advocated for Britney to get out of her conservatorship , and it finally happened in November 2021.
"Good God I love my fans so much it's crazy !!! I think I'm gonna cry the rest of the day !!!! Best day ever … praise the Lord … can I get an Amen #FreedBritney," the "Toxic" songstress wrote on social media after the ruling.
These days, Britney seems happier than ever, especially since she got engaged and married to Sam Asghari .
The nuptials took place in June, and the mom-of-two gushed over the gorgeous day. "BEST PARTY EVER !!! Thank you again to the most incredible people who came to our wedding 👰🏼♀️ !!! I felt so much love and joy !!! Definitely a night to remember 🌹🌹🌹," she wrote.
Meanwhile, the fitness trainer gave some details about the big night .
"It was way overdue for us," Asghari said.
"We imagined this thing being a fairytale, and it was,” the Black Monday star continued. "And we wanted to celebrate with, you know, our loved ones, our close people. We wanted to just celebrate, and that's what we did." | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2653983166310/britney-spears-father-jamie-spears-denies-bugging-pop-star-s-bedroom-during-conservatorship | 2022-07-05T17:02:08Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2653983166310/britney-spears-father-jamie-spears-denies-bugging-pop-star-s-bedroom-during-conservatorship | true | 2 |
UN warns Central African Republic facing food insecurity crisis
The United Nations on Tuesday made an urgent appeal for funds to help the Central African Republic face a mounting food crisis.
The UN’s World Food Program (WFP) said 2.2 million people in the war-torn country of 5.5 million were acutely food insecure, and their plight was likely to worsen during the coming months.
For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
“The Central African Republic is facing unprecedented humanitarian needs and a deteriorating food security situation,” WFP spokesman Tomson Phiri told reporters in Geneva.
“Food insecurity in the CAR is driven by the combined effects of the protracted internal armed conflict, persistent insecurity and population displacement.”
He said a sharp increase in commodity prices was expected from August, with rice expected to go up by 30 percent, wheat flour by 67 percent and vegetable oil by 70 percent.
WFP said it had struggled to pre-position food stocks in shortage areas ahead of the rainy season from July to September, which hampers access to much of the country.
Phiri said it was taking longer to get food into the CAR and it was also difficult to get fuel.
He said the WFP was urgently appealing for $68.4 million.
“Without immediate funding, food and nutrition insecurity will only increase for millions of people,” he said.
WFP may have to reallocate food from people who are hungry “to feed those who are hungrier,” said Phiri.
“Given the current levels of food insecurity and operational constraints, we expect the humanitarian needs to further deteriorate.”
“Our teams are telling us that humanitarian assistance will be required well beyond 2022 and into 2023.”
Along with Afghanistan, Yemen and South Sudan, the CAR has one of the highest proportions of the population in acute food insecurity.
One of the world’s poorest countries, the CAR has been torn apart by civil wars for much of the past nine years, though the fighting has dropped in intensity since 2018.
In 2013, a Muslim-dominated rebellion overthrew President Francois Bozize, sparking reprisals from predominantly Christian and animist militias.

'Casinos over common people': Congress slams govt for withdrawing GST exemption on wheat flour, dairy products
Slamming the BJP govt, Congress leader Gourav Vallabh asked, is the govt willing to jeopardise living standards of low-and-middle-income group at a time of high inflation just to increase its revenues
The Congress on Tuesday attacked the government for its decision to withdraw GST exemptions on items such as pre-packed wheat flour, curd and buttermilk, and asked why further deliberations were ordered for deciding the tax rate for casinos but not for things consumed by lower and middle income groups.
Party leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at the government over GST rates, and said a single, low tax rate would help reduce the burden on the poor and the middle class.
Highlighting that the GST rate on diamonds is at 1.5 per cent, while that on health insurance was 18 per cent and hospital rooms was five per cent, he again dubbed the GST as "Gabbar Singh Tax" and said it shows who the prime minister cares for.
At a press conference at the AICC headquarters in Delhi, Congress spokesperson Gourav Vallabh said the Narendra Modi government's decisions over the last eight years prove how a regime's "cluelessness and incapability" can single-handedly destroy a nation's economic potential.
"The GST, which was planned as a progressive tax structure, has been so badly mishandled that rationalising it will be a long and painful process," he said.
Several improvements are needed in the current GST structure but instead of focusing on fixing that, the BJP-led government seems hell-bent on making the lives of the common person "miserable", he alleged.
"Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has cruelly abandoned low-and- middle-income groups in the name of tax rationalisation. In the 47th GST Council meeting last week, a series of rate revisions was announced, most of which will adversely affect low-and-middle-income groups," Vallabh said.
He said exemptions have been withdrawn for pre-packed and pre-labelled food grains, fish, paneer, lassi, honey, jaggery, wheat flour, buttermilk, unfrozen meat/fish (not frozen), and puffed rice (muri).
These will now be taxed at 5 per cent, at par with branded items, he noted.
Exemptions have also been withdrawn for hotel accommodation up to Rs 1,000 per day and these will now be taxed at 12 per cent, Vallabh said.
Tax rates have been increased from 12 per cent to 18 per cent on products such as printing, writing or drawing ink, knives with cutting blades, spoons, forks, paper knives, pencil sharpeners, and LED lamps, he said.
Vallabh pointed out that the Group of Ministers had finalised a uniform tax 28 per cent GST on casinos, horse racing, and lottery but this decision was asked to be reviewed, and the GoM has been given a 15-day period to review its decision.
The GST Council last Wednesday deferred its decision on levying a 28 per cent tax on casinos, online gaming, horse racing and lottery pending more consultations with stakeholders, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said.
A group of ministers headed by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has been asked to consider submissions of stakeholders again on the valuation mechanism and submit its report by July 15, she had told reporters here.
Attacking the government, Vallabh said these rate revisions are unwelcome at a time when inflation is putting pressure on the pockets of the common person.
"The CPI inflation in May 2022 stood at 7.04 per cent, and was as high as 7.79 per cent in April 2022. These are way higher than the maximum limit of 6 per cent set by the RBI. All the products for which GST rates have been revised upwards are items that are consumed daily by the lower and middle classes," he said.
Posing questions for the BJP-led government, Vallabh asked is the government willing to jeopardise the living standards of the low-and-middle-income group at a time of high inflation just to increase its revenues.
"What is the government hiding from the nation concerning the economic situation that it is so desperate to raise revenues at the expense of people's welfare," he asked.
"What is more important for the government -- casinos or the common person? Why were taxes raised across the board with no review of the decision to remove tax exemptions?" Vallabh said.
Pre-packed and labelled wheat flour, papad, paneer, curd and buttermilk will be taxed at 5 per cent after the GST Council decided to stop allowing exemptions on such items while raising rates on a host of others.
The GST Council, at a two-day meeting here, accepted recommendations for rate rationalisation made by different groups appointed by it, resulting in tax changes, Sitharaman had said. The tax rate changes will come into effect from July 18.

Fireworks can be fun, but Des Moines police say there are rules in place so they don't turn dangerous.
"If it goes bang, you can't set it off in your neighborhood," said Sgt. Paul Parizek with the Des Moines Police Department. "Commercial grade fireworks are set up by professionals who are licensed. There's no private consumers allowed to shoot fireworks in the city of Des Moines."
It's against city ordinance to light off fireworks in Des Moines and breaking that rule can come with a hefty price. There is a more than $600 fine if police have the evidence to issue a citation.
"We get to about 1,700 calls a year on fireworks complaints, and that's a lot," Parizek says. "We've already gone to over 335 this year alone. And just last night, in about a six hour period, we took 81 calls. So it's something that sucks a lot of our resources."
And he's asking everyone who lives in Des Moines to do what they can to keep their neighborhood safe.
"Try and think about your neighbors and think about their pets and think about their small kids who need to go to sleep," he said. "Or if you've got veterans in your neighborhood that might have PTSD or people who have other issues, those loud noises are going to cause them some distress." | https://www.kcci.com/article/iowa-des-moines-police-remind-residents-of-firework-rules/40494342 | 2022-07-05T17:18:10Z | https://www.kcci.com/article/iowa-des-moines-police-remind-residents-of-firework-rules/40494342 | false | 1 |
NowSecure dynamically generates mobile Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) into GitHub Dependency Graph to help developers ensure they are using latest, safe versions of software component libraries.
CHICAGO, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NowSecure, the leading standards-based mobile app security and privacy software company, today announced a new GitHub Action for Dependency Graph integration to bring automated mobile app Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation to developer workflows directly inside GitHub. Now iOS and Android mobile app developers can gain visibility into the components, third-party libraries and frameworks they use and ensure their proper version, security and privacy as they build them — all to deliver high-quality, secure mobile app releases faster.
GitHub,the leading software development platform for more than 83 million developers, announced new extensions for dependency information in the GitHub Dependency Graph with new GitHub Actions. As a recognized leader in mobile app security, NowSecure has delivered the first automated dynamic mobile app SBOM solution integrated into GitHub Dependency Graph. The NowSecure GitHub Action for Mobile SBOM to populate the GitHub Dependency Graph is now available in early access via the GitHub Marketplace. In addition, the NowSecure Platform can now be purchased through Microsoft Azure Marketplace. As part of the early access program, all GitHub mobile developers can request a free scan for dynamic SBOM generation into GitHub Dependency Graph.
Underlying the urgency of managing software dependencies, software supply-chain attacks in 2021 grew by 650% with major incidents from SolarWinds, Microsoft, Kasaya, log4j and others. White House Cybersecurity Orders in 2021 identified critical risks in the global software supply chain and set out requirements for government agencies to establish standards and policies for securing the software supply chain.
"Developers want to deliver innovative, high-quality mobile applications fast," said NowSecure CEO Alan Snyder. "This means they need a developer-first, easy to use and accurate mobile security solution embedded directly in their dev workflows. While mobile developers depend on third-party code for innovative experiences, complex functionality and time to market, they must ensure the code they use is up to date and secure. We are excited to extend our partnership with GitHub and the community by adding dynamic SBOM generation into GitHub Dependency Graph to help developers protect their software supply chain."
NowSecure offers two GitHub Actions for automated mobile app analysis and mobile app SBOMs. The NowSecure GitHub Action provides automated static and dynamic security analysis of iOS and Android mobile apps built in any language or framework including Swift, Objective-C, Java, Kotlin, Dart, React-Native and more. The NowSecure GitHub Action for Mobile SBOMs generates component detail for visibility into the libraries/frameworks included in all mobile apps, identifying transitive dependencies, pinpointing libraries/frameworks that are using older versions, identifying components that remain but may have previously specified to be removed, and uncovering component license details.
"The NowSecure GitHub Action for Mobile SBOM populates the GitHub Dependency Graph with mobile data so that in the future GitHub Dependabot alerts can update dependencies to the latest and more secure versions of libraries in mobile apps," said NowSecure CTO David Weinstein. "Furthermore, comparing SBOMs and dependencies from different versions of a mobile app provides insight into changes made by the developer over time that may require further analysis or help identify technical debt. Overall, we've been very impressed with GitHub's implementation, enabling third-parties to extend the Dependency Graph and Dependabot to support new ecosystems like mobile."
"The software supply chain starts with the developer. Extending automated visibility into your SBOM means developers can significantly reduce their usage of vulnerable software dependencies as well as be confident in shipping new mobile features and products with security built in by design," said Jose Palafox, Director of Business Partnerships at GitHub.
The NowSecure GitHub Action for Mobile SBOM early access program for GitHub Dependabot Graph is part of the world's most comprehensive suite for mobile app security including NowSecure Platform for continuous security testing in the development pipeline for DevSecOps, NowSecure Workstation kit for pen tester productivity, NowSecure Supply Chain Risk Management, NowSecure Pen Testing Services, and NowSecure Academy training courseware for dev and security teams. Built on a foundation of standards and automation, NowSecure empowers organizations to deliver secure mobile apps faster and continuously monitor their mobile app supply chains for risk. Top mobile innovators, global businesses and agencies trust NowSecure to secure their mobile apps including AT&T, Caribou Coffee, Chime, iRobot and Uber.
Now available in an early access program, GitHub developers and security teams can register for their free NowSecure Mobile SBOM for GitHub today.
As the standards-based mobile app security and privacy company, NowSecure protects the Mobile App Economy. The world's most demanding organizations, innovative mobile developers and advanced security teams entrust NowSecure to safeguard millions of mobile app users across banking, insurance, high tech, IoT, retail, hospitality, energy and government sectors. Only NowSecure delivers the full solution suite of continuous security testing for DevSecOps, mobile app supply-chain monitoring, expert mobile pen testing and training courseware with the depth, speed, accuracy, and efficiency to meet modern business demands.

Damian – whose biological dad was late businessman Steve Bing - shared the picture on Instagram, with the caption: "Mama and Daddyo at graduation with mee."

Arun looked dashing in an ivory jacket and a bow tie, while Liz commanded attention in her breathtaking gown.
The long dress was brown and had an animal print section across the front.
It left the star's shoulders bare and did up around the neck.
Liz wore her long hair loose in caramel waves around her face and her blue eyes were piercing as she smouldered at the camera.
Fans loved the image and said the trio looked "fabulous" all glammed up for the event.
"How hot is this family!!!!!" one person posted in the comments section, adding: "My God!"
"Damnnnnn ur all insanely gorgeous," said another.

Damian was five when Liz tied the knot with Arun and he was nine when the couple went their separate ways.
His dad Steve took his own life in June 2020.

Between the Sheets: Turner’s Nudes review — a perfect peep-show of an art show

Turner’s House, Twickenham
The Times
★★★★☆
Oo-er, Mr Turner. Is that a paintbrush in your pocket, or are you just . . . No, I’ll stop there. In a pink-painted boudoir at Turner’s House in Twickenham, there isn’t a seascape, a steam train or a storm to be seen. Between the Sheets: Turner’s Nudes lifts the veil on the Turner that we rarely see: the Turner of nymphs, satyrs, molls and Swiss maidens.
After JMW Turner’s death in 1851, John Ruskin set out to catalogue the artist’s 30,000 or more works on paper. In the winter of 1856, the buttoned-up Ruskin, who had never consummated his marriage to Effie Gray allegedly on the grounds that she was not as marble-smooth as a classical statue, came across Turner’s erotic drawings.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked a new 15-week abortion ban days after it took effect in the state, an expected move following an oral ruling last week in which he said the law violated the state constitution.
Judge John C. Cooper issued the order in a case brought by reproductive health providers who argue that the state constitution guarantees a right to the procedure. The state is expected to appeal. The law had gone into effect Friday before being blocked.
The decision came as abortion laws change at a frenzied pace across the country following the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, with several state laws and court cases shifting access to the procedure.
The law prohibits abortions after 15 weeks, with exceptions if the procedure is necessary to save the pregnant woman’s life, prevent serious injury or if the fetus has a fatal abnormality. It does not allow for exemptions in cases where pregnancies were caused by rape, incest or human trafficking.
The law was passed by the GOP-controlled legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis this spring.

Vadodara: Tribal woman leader Sarla Vasava has alleged that inferior liquor in large quantities is available in the grey market in Gujarat. She demanded that either the state implement prohibition strictly or lift it.
Bharatiya Tribal Party leader Chhotu Vasava's wife Sarla alleged that "Inferior quality liquor is available in the local market. Either the state should implement prohibition strictly or lift it, so at least good quality liquor is available to those who love to drink."
"Tribals do prepare mahua liquor, but they never sell it in the market, these are false allegations that liquor flows in the tribal belt, the state government is implementing prohibition strictly," claimed Ramesh Vasava, BJP General Secretary of Narmada district.
What she is saying is nothing new. If prohibition is strictly implemented, how will the ruling party make money, if it does not collect money from liquor smuggling, they will be short of election funds, alleged Chandrikaben Bariya, Congress MLA from Devgadh Baria.
The IMFL sold openly is smuggled from other states. The BJP is in power in Gujarat as well as in Delhi, yet liquor flows in the state without any check, said the Congress MLA.
Prohibition has been implemented since the state came into existence, during the Vijay Rupani government the prohibition Act was made more stringent.
At the same time, checkposts at the borders with Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and the two Union Territories of Dadra Nagar Haveli and Diu-Daman were removed which opened the gates for liquor smuggling, alleged the MLA.

NEW YORK, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising - Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Charles Schwab" or the "Company") (NYSE: SCHW). Investors who purchased Charles Schwab shares are encouraged to obtain additional information and assist the investigation by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/schw.
The investigation concerns whether Charles Schwab and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated federal securities laws.
On July 2, 2021, Charles Schwab disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that the Company "has been responding to an investigation by the [SEC] arising from a compliance examination" and that "[t]he investigation largely concerns historic disclosures related to the Schwab Intelligent Portfolios® (SIP) digital advisory solution." Accordingly, Charles Schwab disclosed that "[g]iven the investigation's status, Schwab's second quarter 2021 financial results will include a liability and related non-deductible charge of $200 million." On this news, Charles Schwab's stock price fell $2.03 per share, or 2.79%, to close at $70.77 per share on July 6, 2021, the next trading day. Then, on June 13, 2022, the SEC announced that it "charged three Charles Schwab investment adviser subsidiaries" who "agreed to pay $187 million to harmed clients to settle the charges." The SEC charged Charles Schwab with misleading investors that used its robo-adviser product, Schwab Intelligent Portfolios. Instead of the touted "disciplined portfolio construction methodology" that sought "optimal return[s]", Charles Schwab's "own data showed that under most market conditions, the cash in the portfolios would cause clients to make less money even while taking on the same amount of risk." On this news, Charles Schwab's stock price fell $1.98 per share, or 3.18%, to close at $60.24 per share on June 13, 2022.

KRAMATORSK, Ukraine (AP) — A day after Russian President Vladimir Putin declared victory in seizing an eastern Ukraine province essential to his wartime aims, a city in the path of Moscow’s offensive came under sustained bombardment, its mayor said Tuesday.
Mayor Vadim Lyakh said on Facebook that “massive shelling” pummeled Sloviansk, which had a population of about 107,000 before Russian invaded Ukraine more than four months ago. The mayor, who urged residents hours earlier to evacuate, advised them to take cover in shelters.
At least one person was killed and another seven wounded Tuesday, Lyakh said. He said the city’s central market and several districts came under attack, adding that authorities were assessing the extent of the damage.
The barrage targeting Sloviansk indicated that Russian forces were positioned to advance farther into Ukraine’s Donbas region, a mostly Russian-speaking industrial area where the country’s most experienced soldiers are concentrated.
Sloviansk has previously taken rocket and artillery fire during Russia’s war in Ukraine, but the bombardment picked up in recent days after Moscow took the last major city in neighboring Luhansk province, Lyakh said.
“It’s important to evacuate as many people as possible,” he warned Tuesday morning, adding that shelling damaged 40 houses on Monday.
The Ukrainian military withdrew its troops Sunday from the city of Lysychansk to keep them from being surrounded. Russia’s defense minister and Putin said the city’s subsequent capture put Moscow in control of all of Luhansk, one of two provinces that make up the Donbas.
The office of Ukraine’s president said the Ukrainian military was still defending a small part of Luhansk and trying to buy time to establish fortified positions nearby.
The question now is whether Russia can muster enough strength to complete its seizure of the Donbas by taking Donetsk province, too. Putin acknowledged Monday that Russian troops who fought in Luhansk need to “take some rest and beef up their combat capability.”
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday that the war in Ukraine would continue until all of the goals set by Putin are achieved. However, Shoigu said “the main priorities” for Moscow at the moment were “preserving the lives and health” of the troops, as well as “excluding the threat to the security of civilians.”
When Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, his stated goals were defending the people of the Donbas against Kyiv’s alleged aggression, and the “demilitarization” and “denazifaction” of Ukraine.
Pro-Russia separatists have fought Ukrainian forces and controlled much of the Donbas for eight years. Before the invasion this year, Putin recognized the independence of the two self-proclaimed separatist republics in the region. He also sought to portray the tactics of Ukrainian forces and the government as akin to Nazi Germany’s, claims for which no evidence has emerged.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian military said Russian forces also shelled several Donetsk towns and villages around Sloviansk in the past day but were repelled as they tried to advance toward a town about 20 kilometers (12 miles) to the city’s north. South of the city, Russian forces were trying to push toward two more towns and shelling areas near Kramatorsk.
Meanwhile, Moscow-installed officials in Ukraine’s southern Kherson region on Tuesday announced the formation of a new regional government, with a former Russian official at the helm.
Sergei Yeliseyev, the head of the new Moscow-backed government in Kherson, is a former deputy prime minister of Russia’s western exclave of Kaliningrad and also used to work at Russia’s Federal Security Service, or the FSB, according to media reports.
It wasn’t immediately clear what would become of the “military-civic administration” the Kremlin installed earlier. The administration’s head, Vladimir Saldo, said in a Telegram statement that the new government was “not a temporary, not a military, not some kind of interim administration, but a proper governing body.”
“The fact that not just Kherson residents, but Russian officials, too, are part of this government speaks clearly about the direction the Kherson region is headed in the future,” he said. “This direction is to Russia.”
Kherson’s Russia-installed administration previously stated plans for the region to become part of Russia, either through a referendum or other means.
There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials.
In other developments:
— The 30 NATO allies signed off on the accession protocols for Sweden and Finland, sending the two nations’ membership bids to the alliance capitals for legislative approvals. The move further increases Russia’s strategic isolation. Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg hailed the signing as a “truly a historic moment for Finland, for Sweden and for NATO.”
— The war in Ukraine has drawn millions of dollars away from countries facing other crises. Somalia, suffering a food shortage largely driven by the war, may be the most vulnerable. Its aid funding is less than half of last year’s level while overwhelmingly Western donors have sent more than $1.7 billion to respond to the war in Europe. Yemen, Syria, Iraq, South Sudan, Congo and the Palestinian territories are similarly affected.
— Spain boosted military spending in an attempt to reach its commitment to NATO to dedicate 2% of gross domestic product to defense. Spain’s Cabinet approved a one-off Defense Ministry expenditure of almost 1 billion euros ($1 billion) that the government said was necessary to pay for unexpected expenses from 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.

OAK ISLAND, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina coastal town has acted to help rescue workers gain easier access to the beach, a move that addresses a potential issue in reaching the shore in an emergency.
Officials in Oak Island say the town has 65 public beach access locations, but only 22 provide access for emergency vehicles. In response, the town has launched a campaign called “Keep it Free, From Street To Sea.”
Oak Island is approximately 35 miles (56 km) southwest of Wilmington.
Before the July 4 holiday weekend, the town installed new signage at the emergency access locations to remind beachgoers to keep emergency paths free of cars from the street to the shoreline.
In addition, public works employees have restructured the parking lots for many of the emergency access locations, developing a new parking layout which features parallel parking on one side, as opposed to the previous diagonal slant on both sides, according to the city. The new arrangement helps prevent the back ends of two longer vehicles from creating a point that restricts vehicle access, the town said.
Officials said blocked access has not been a factor in any recent incidents, but first responders have expressed concerns about potential problems based on past responses. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/North-Carolina-town-helps-emergency-vehicles-17285285.php | 2022-07-05T17:36:07Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/North-Carolina-town-helps-emergency-vehicles-17285285.php | true | 20 |

NEW DELHI (AP) — Twitter on Tuesday challenged the Indian government in court over its recent orders to take down some content on the social media platform, media outlets reported.
The lawsuit was filed in the Karnataka High Court in southern Bengaluru city and comes after the Indian government in February warned company executives of criminal action if they failed to comply with the takedown orders, the Press Trust of India and the Bar and Bench legal news site reported.
A Twitter spokesperson, Aditi Shorewal, declined to comment or specify what type of content the company was told to block. She did not confirm that Twitter had filed the lawsuit.
The lawsuit is part of a growing confrontation between Twitter and New Delhi after the Indian government last year passed a new set of sweeping regulations giving it more power to police online content.
The new rules require companies to erase or block content that authorities deem unlawful. Under the laws, employees of social media websites and technology companies can be held criminally liable for failing to comply with the government’s orders.
“It is everyone’s responsibility to abide by the laws passed by the country’s Parliament,” India’s IT minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, told reporters Tuesday, when he was asked about the lawsuit.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has sought for years to control social media and has often directed Twitter to take down tweets or accounts that appear critical of his party and administration.
Twitter complied with most of those orders in the past but also resisted others and has called the new rules a “potential threat to freedom of expression.” The company has removed content related to anti-government farmer protests and tweets criticising the Modi administration’s handling of the pandemic.
The Indian government has called the new rules necessary to tackle disinformation, hate speech and other troubles. Officials have warned Twitter that non-compliance with the rules could mean that the company would lose its liability protections as an intermediary, meaning Twitter could face lawsuits over content.
Relations between the Indian government and Twitter have been thorny since the laws were passed.
In May last year, police raided Twitter’s office after the company labelled a tweet by Modi’s party spokesman as “manipulated media.”
That same month, WhatsApp sued the Indian government to defend what it said was its users’ privacy and stop new rules that would require it to make messages “traceable” to external parties. That case is still pending in an Indian court.
Experts have criticised the new rules and said they amount to censorship. They have also accused the Modi government of silencing criticism on social media, particularly Twitter. Modi's party denies the claim.
Police in New Delhi last week arrested a journalist over a tweet from 2018 that an anonymous Twitter user alleged was hurtful to sentiments of a “particular religion.” | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Reports-Twitter-challenges-India-order-to-block-17285347.php | 2022-07-05T17:36:38Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Reports-Twitter-challenges-India-order-to-block-17285347.php | true | 24 |
By HANNAH FINGERHUT and R.J. RICO
WASHINGTON (AP) — Many Americans don’t expect to rely on the digital services that became commonplace during the pandemic after COVID-19 subsides, according to a new poll, even as many think it’s a good thing if those options remain available in the future.
Close to half or more of U.S. adults say they are not likely to attend virtual activities, receive virtual health care, have groceries delivered or use curbside pickup after the coronavirus pandemic is over, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Less than 3 in 10 say they’re very likely to use any of those options at least some of the time.
Still, close to half also say it would be a good thing if virtual options for health care, for community events and for activities like fitness classes or religious services continue after the pandemic.
“Rather than this either-or, I think we’re more likely to be facing a hybrid future,” said Donna Hoffman, director of the Center for the Connected Consumer at the George Washington School of Business. “People have found convenience in some of these virtual options that just makes sense, and they don’t necessarily have anything to do with like keeping you safe or the pandemic even though they came of age during the pandemic.”
Digital daily routines became the default in 2020 as the nation reacted to the rapidly spreading virus, which prompted lockdowns, closed schools and shuttered businesses. Some substitutions, like online shopping and video conference calling, already existed. Others were reimagined or popularized during the pandemic.
Either way, Hoffman said, there was “rapid” deployment and adoption of virtual services. It was a question of “how are we going to make this work?” she said.
Cornelius Hairston said his family took precautions throughout the pandemic because his wife is a first responder in the health care field.
“We tried to stay in as much as we could and only come out for essentials,” said Hairston, 40, who recently moved to Roanoke, Virginia.
Hairston joked that his twin 4-year-old boys are “COVID babies” who didn’t even go to a grocery store for much of their young lives. The family used delivery services almost exclusively to avoid venturing out to crowded stores. But going forward, he only expects to use them “from time to time.”
For Angie Lowe, the convenience of telemedicine and time saved was reason enough to do it again even though she and her husband returned to doing things in public more than a year ago.
Lowe had her first telemedicine appointment early in the pandemic when feeling “lonely” and “stuck at home” kept her from sleeping well. She was able to talk with the doctor without having to take extra time off of work to drive to and wait in a medical center.
“It was my first telemedicine appointment, but it won’t be my last,” said Lowe, 48, of Sterling, Illinois. “If I can do it, I’m going to do it.”
For many, though, drawbacks outweigh the benefits of relying on digital services in the future. Adults age 50 or older are especially likely to say they are not planning to use the virtual options asked about on the poll going forward, even though many were introduced during the pandemic to protect the at-risk population.
Despite feeling antsy about COVID-19 and infection rates in Phoenix, Tony DiGiovane, 71, said he found curbside pickup at grocery stores and restaurants to be more hassle than they’re worth.
“By the time I picked up the stuff, I needed more stuff,” he said of his grocery orders, and “something’s always missing or wrong” on takeout orders.
Karen Stewart, 63, recognizes the benefits of video calls, but she’s also found them to be limiting. That’s the case in her job organizing after school programming for kids. She also now sees some of her doctors online, one who provides virtual care almost exclusively and another who uses virtual care in between office visits.
She likes that she doesn’t have to drive, but it means a doctor or nurse can’t take her vitals or be “hands on” in her care. It was “scary,” for example, when all of her appointments in the lead-up to a surgery were online, she said.
“When I do that they they can’t take my blood pressure, my pulse. There’s things that a doctor might pick up on that they can’t see online,” said Stewart of Perris, California.
The pandemic created an opportunity to balance in-person and virtual services to support the physical and mental health of older adults, said Alycia Bayne, a principal research scientist at NORC. That “could be particularly beneficial to older adults with different health issues, mobility limitations, people who lack transportation options, people who do not have or live near a robust social networks like family and friends to lean on,” she said.
Still, there remain limitations with technology access, broadband access and digital literacy, which Bayne said may help explain why the poll finds older adults less likely to use digital services after the pandemic.
Despite the age gap on use of services, similar percentages of adults across ages say it’s a good thing for virtual options for health care, for community events and meetings and for activities to continue after the pandemic.
“They recognize the benefits of virtual services, but they’re also ready to start getting back to their pre-pandemic routines,” she said. “The silver lining, of course, is that these services are now available.”
___
The poll of 1,001 adults was conducted May 12-16 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

(The Hill) — New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) is offering support for California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) new ad in Florida that targets Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and invites Floridians to move to California.
In an appearance on CNN’s “New Day” on Tuesday, Murphy said he liked his fellow Democratic governor’s approach when asked by host Brianna Keilar about Newsom’s 30-second ad slamming DeSantis over a wave of new legislation targeting LGBTQ rights, voting rights, critical race theory and abortion.
“I think we need to stand up and be counted and make sure we remind folks around the country, if you value values come to states like New Jersey and I suspect that’s exactly what Gov. Newsom has in mind in terms of California’s values,” Murphy said.
He said the U.S. is still “the greatest nation on Earth” but that “war has been declared by a right-wing Supreme Court bloc against American women” with the court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade’s constitutional protections for abortion rights.
He also criticized the court for a decision last month that rejected a New York law preventing people from carrying concealed weapons. Murphy said the country had done too little to prevent gun violence in the wake of the latest shooting on the Fourth of July in Highland Park, Ill.
“And look at the tragedy that happened yesterday in a Highland Park. So we are a great nation but we are in challenging troubled times right now. And women especially are paying a huge price,” he added.
Murphy also spoke about the two bills he signed into law on Friday that ensures out-of-state residents who come to New Jersey can access reproductive services and reproductive health care providers. | https://www.ktsm.com/news/national-news/nj-governor-weighs-in-on-newsom-attacking-desantis-in-florida-i-like-it/ | 2022-07-05T17:41:32Z | https://www.ktsm.com/news/national-news/nj-governor-weighs-in-on-newsom-attacking-desantis-in-florida-i-like-it/ | true | 16 |

Dear Mayo Clinic: I recently was diagnosed with diabetes and am learning about various components of my health care that require special attention. For instance, I was told I’d need to take special care of my feet. Can you explain why foot care is so important and what is necessary? Do I need to see a special type of doctor?
Answer: You’re among the millions of people in the U.S. who have been diagnosed with diabetes. Managing your medications, adapting your diet and incorporating activity into your lifestyle are important for managing this disease. Foot care also plays a big part in maintaining your health.
Two complications of diabetes are nerve damage and restricted blood flow to the legs and feet. Both increase the risk of various foot complications. Nerve damage decreases the feeling in your feet, a condition called peripheral neuropathy. Reduced blood flow to the feet makes it harder to heal an injury or resist infection. Left untreated, even minor cuts and blisters can become serious infections that ultimately may require toe, foot or leg amputation.
This is why it’s important to have a podiatrist on your care team. Podiatrists are doctors who specialize in conditions of the foot and ankle, including complications related to diabetes. Working closely with your podiatrist can reduce the risk of developing foot, ankle and leg issues, such as neuropathic ulcers, infections, nerve and bone damage, Charcot neuroarthropathy (joint damage) — and even amputations. Studies have shown that patients with a diabetic foot ulcer who have a podiatrist on their team can reduce amputations by 36%.
If you don’t have any diabetes-related foot and ankle complications, it’s still recommended that you see your podiatrist every year.
During this visit, your podiatrist will help you put your best foot forward by:
• Performing a comprehensive foot evaluation.
• Testing for diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
• Discussing preventive measures, such as foot care and diabetic shoes and inserts.
You should see your podiatrist at least every six months if you’ve been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy or have a personal history of diabetes-related complications.
In addition to examinations by a health care professional, developing a daily at-home foot care routine is an important aspect of managing foot health.
This four-step routine can minimize serious infections and injuries:
1. Pick a time of day
Picking a specific time of day can help you form a routine. Try taking a few minutes when you get home from work or before going to bed to examine your feet.
2. Begin with your socks
People with peripheral neuropathy may not feel an injury when it takes place. When you take off your socks, look for any signs of infection or injury, such as dried blood or yellowish-brown drainage. Speaking of socks, wear clean ones every day. Also, you may want to check out socks designed especially for people with diabetes. They have extra cushioning, no elastic at the top and the fabric wicks away moisture.
3. Examine your feet
Next, examine your feet, including the tops and bottoms, and your toes. If you aren’t able to see the bottoms of your feet ask a family member, friend or caregiver to help or use a long-handled mirror. Look for any cuts, scratches, ulcers, blisters, dryness, redness, warmth, swelling or pain. Also, check your toenails for any discoloration, thickness or ingrown borders. If you’ve developed callouses or corns, don’t try to remove or treat them yourself. When it comes to foot issues, make an appointment with your podiatrist to discuss diagnoses and treatment.
4. Wash your feet
To reduce the chance of infections, wash your feet with a soft cloth, warm water — about the temperature you’d use to bathe a newborn baby — and soap. Be sure to dry them thoroughly when finished. It’s OK to moisturize your feet to keep dry skin from itching or cracking. But don’t moisturize between the toes, which could encourage a fungal infection.
Here are a few other things to keep in mind:
• Cut your nails straight across but not too short, which might result in an ingrown toenail.
• Don’t go barefoot, even around the house. Wear shoes or slippers to avoid cuts or scratches.
• Shake your shoes out before putting them on. Your feet may not be able to feel a pebble or other object, which could end up injuring your foot.
Once you’re in the groove of your new foot-care routine, it will seem like second nature. And your feet will thank you for it. The key to keeping your best foot forward is catching an injury early and treating it appropriately.

How Property Owners Can Determine Whether They Should Sell Their Properties Themselves or Hire Estate Agents
- Property owners are usually torn between selling their properties themselves or hiring real estate agents to help them sell it
- Real estate agents in Ghana typically take a 10% commission from home seekers when they help them find apartments, and they may charge property owners a small fee
- Homeowners who are bent on selling their properties themselves must consider some factors before making a final decision

The real estate industry in Ghana is a seller's market. Nevertheless, selling a property can be tricky since most people do not earn nearly enough to buy a home. For property owners, selling a house themselves will save them the cost of employing real estate agents. However, hiring a real estate agent can also save landlords the stress involved in selling homes.
YEN.com.gh highlights factors that property owners should consider before making a decision on whether they should go ahead to sell their homes themselves or hire real estate agents.
How At Ease With Sales and Marketing Are You?
Selling houses require a lot of work. Property owners need to sign up on online real estate portals with great photos of their property with eye-catching details that will be sure to attract potential buyers. Property owners must also be ready to answer several phone calls from buyers and answer all their questions.

Can You Stand Criticism?
Some property buyers can reject your home or decide to lower the price because they do not like it. Professional agents usually take the brunt of the criticism on behalf of property owners for this reason. One can become too upset by criticism to bargain effectively.
One May Have to Put Their Personal Life on Hold
For landlords that are bent on managing their own property, they must understand that when advertising their houses, they must be as accommodating as possible. While selling your own home, you'll undoubtedly need to put your life on wait in order to attend to the scores of buyers who would like to come and view the property.
Namibia Transforms Sewage into Drinkable Water to Solve The Country's Water Crisis
In an earlier article, YEN.com.gh wrote about how Namibia transforms sewage into drinkable water. Namibia's capital, Windhoek, has had difficulty providing its population with drinkable water due to an acute water shortage. To combat its water problem, Windhoek is treating sewage water and transforming it into clean, drinkable water.

Between Gwyneth's affinity for cleansing detoxes and reports of Beyoncé surviving on water, lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper for days, the words ‘juice cleanse’ are being bandied around like the 5:2 diet. While some variations are cause for concern (Beyoncé, we’re looking at you) the alkaline, organic juice cleanse programmes created by expert nutritionists look like a more practical option.
These cleanses operate on the premise that too much processed food, sugar, caffeine, meat and alcohol will leave you with an acidic gut - the cause of inflammation, bloating, weight gain, susceptibility to illness, fatigue, headaches, insomnia and countless other undesirable symptoms. By stopping the consumption of acid-forming food/drinks and replacing them with nutrient packed raw fruit and vegetable juices, the body can return to an alkaline state, rid itself of toxins and allow the digestive system and liver to rest and recuperate. The benefits are meant to include feeling lighter, cleaner, energised and having a greater understanding of how the food you consume impacts on your body.
Enticed by bright-eyed and bushy-tailed testimonials of fellow juicers, Editor-in-Chief Susannah Taylor and GTG staffer Kiran Branch each embarked on a three day cleanse, keeping diaries of their experiences....
Susannah Taylor: The Purity Cleanse from Plenish Cleanse
Everywhere I turn at the moment someone is doing a juice cleanse; all my healthiest friends (especially the ones who wear teeny weeny bikinis and have no cellulite) do them, and I hear various tales of how the whites of their eyes are whiter than ever, their skin looks more radiant, how it’s good to give your system a break blah blah blah. While I am fortunate enough not to need to lose weight (actually I don’t know about ‘fortunate’ - I work out about four times a week), and while I eat pretty healthily (I don’t follow any sort of diet, I just eat low sugar, as much freshness as I can cram in, don’t binge eat) I was intrigued by how it would make me look and feel. Plus of course Gwyneth does them - if a juice cleanse brings me half her mega-glow then I’m in.
I met with Kara Rosen, the owner of Plenish Cleanse , who explained to me the difference between cold pressed juices like Plenish and ones you buy off the shelf. Cold-pressed, she explained, are extracted using very expensive metal plates that, unlike your kitchen-top juicers, extract every tiny weeny element of goodness from fruit and veg until nothing but a dry crisp is left behind. They are so fresh, you need to drink them within two days. Right I thought, bring on the radiance...
Day 1
An enormous box of juices (about two foot long) arrived in my office with two days’ worth of juice in them (six per day). They looked lovely in all their multi-coloured splendour - one was entitled ‘Sweet Sexy Green’ (cucumber, romaine, pear, celery, broccoli, spinach and kale), another, the ‘Spicy Lemonade’, was yellow (filtered water, lemon, lime, red chilli, agave nectar), and another, the ‘Beet Box’, was dark crimson (beetroot, carrot, lemon and ginger). The packaging, I realised by the end of it is very important - when you’ve had nothing but liquid to eat for two/ three days, there still remains an inkling of excitement at opening another cute shiny bottle.
Back to the cleanse. First up was Sweet Sexy Green which tasted surprisingly good (although admittedly I am the sort of person who loves coconut water and actually like eating nuts for snacks) - this isn’t going to taste like a well-known not-so innocent smoothie brand you buy in Sainsburys because those are packed with sugar and are no good for you at all. Cold pressed juices taste of PURE HEALTH.
Next up, mid-morning was ‘Pineapple Squared’ containing pineapple, apple, mint and aloe vera - yum - then the ‘Mind Body Green’ which with over 5lbs of organic greens in one bottle is meant to ‘balance your pH’ and ‘usher out your toxins.’ So far so good, until I got to ‘Spicey Lemonade’ which is basically lemon water with chilli in it. There’s no way of fancying it up - I literally had to force it down my throat, gagging on every sip, the words ‘this is good for me’ flashing before my eyes.

Despite regularly going to the fridge, looking at its contents and shutting the door again, I was quite chuffed I was getting through this, and so I went on Twitter to let everyone know it - only to be shot down by a very well known and respected nutritionist who tweeted back asking why I was doing the cleanse, stating that ‘A juice cleanse does nothing for you apart from make you hungry.’ I have to say I did start to question my sanity when at 6pm I drank what felt like a crate of beetroot (Beet Box) which had a rather unpleasant gloopy texture to it.
Finally, I discovered my favourite of them all: ‘Cashew Milk’ (cashews, dates, vanilla and Himalayan salt) which was the equivalent I reckon to a bottle of milk to a baby. I liked it so much I drank half of the next day’s bottle as well.
Day 2
The second day I awoke with a ridiculously flat stomach (amazing) but this was when it got tough. I started the day with a cafe latte. I know, I know - wrong form of liquid, but the Nespresso machine was growling at me and I couldn’t help it. On top of that I had my ‘Sweet Sexy Green’ which didn’t taste quite so sexy now mixed up in my bowels with a shot of coffee and hot frothy milk. However, I persisted and went out to do a training session with my personal trainer who also questioned why I was doing this. “Girls say they do it to feel good but they are just trying to lose weight,’ he said. I’m sure he had a point, but this was honestly not my reason for doing it. Remarkably I managed to do a full training session - squats, lunges, press-ups and everything without vomiting (I think my trainer was going harder on me just to prove his point - he isn’t a fan of juice cleanses either).
The problem however with training like that is really you need to refuel afterwards, and you get HUNGRY... and this is when I came a bit unstuck. Kiran (doing the Radiance cleanse below) was advised that if she got hungry or exercised then she should have some nuts. I didn’t get any advice like this so I stole hers, and polished off the lot. Then because I had it in my head that I couldn’t have chewable food as such, I decided that another latte would get me through. No wonder when I met with my PR friend Krishna at 4pm she said I was a bit ‘on the edge.’

And then that night, it all went horribly wrong. I had to go to a charity event that one of my best friends was holding, which meant donning a tight black Matthew Williamson dress which I love. I went to the party feeling a million dollars (I think it’s the flatter stomach thing - does wonders for your confidence). Why I thought it would be a good idea to drink quite a lot of champagne, eat beef and dauphinoise potatoes is beyond me (apart from the fact that I could have eaten a horse of course). Looking back at the picture of me, I have to say I did look particularly glowy and bright eyed that night. I still can’t decide however whether the glow was the juice or the champagne; all I know is that the next day I felt so rough I had to go back to bed.
Kiran Branch: Active Cleanse Programme by Radiance Cleanse
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m going to be as honest as possible. I LOVE junk food. That, coupled with my sweet tooth and insatiable appetite, means that my diet is simply far too indulgent. Fortunately, I have a fast metabolism but developing a keen interest in health and nutrition of late has compelled me to clean up my act as, quite frankly, being skinny doesn’t necessarily equate to being healthy. Cue the great cleanse.
My main goals were to detox and kick-start a healthier, more balanced approach to eating. To get me there I chose the Active Cleanse Programme by Radiance Cleanse - innovatively designed to restore the body via organic cold-pressed juices and light exercise. With two varieties of the cleanse to choose from I opted for the London-based programme (£595 ) which included five fruit and vegetable juices per day, one post-workout energy drink per day, nutritional supplements and three one-hour sessions with Dalton Wong – celebrity trainer to the likes of Jennifer Lawrence no less, and founder of Twenty Two Training.
N.B. The alternative Active Cleanse Programme (£295) is available nationwide and involves all of the above except the personal training sessions.
Day 1
Following a few months of gluttony and little exercise I came to day one of the cleanse ready and eager to curb my errant eating ways. That said, opening the delivery of eighteen juices was quite a shock to the system. Coming to terms with how little would pass my lips was however a lot easier to swallow after reading Radiance and Dalton’s cleanse manual. Explaining the benefits of each element of the programme, including advice and tips on snacking (if I felt I really needed to) plus illustrations and descriptions of exercises that would aid the detox, this literature became my holy grail for the next three days.
The menu/schedule for each day consisted of supplements along with juices every 2-3 hours between 8am and 7.30pm. My only apprehension pre-cleanse was that I would be absolutely ravenous - having a fast metabolism I’ve been known to faint if I go without food for more than three to four hours. What astounded me on the initial day was that I didn’t at any point have any pangs of hunger whatsoever. Possibly because each individual juice contains approximately 1kg of fruit and vegetables (about 2.2lbs), I always felt full and it was only from 3.30pm-4.30pm (between juices) that I felt a slump in energy levels.
The second revelation of day one was that the juices were delicious – I would go so far as to say that the green juices (the most alkaline) were delightful. My only dislike was the lunchtime cashew milk. As Radiance emailed me throughout the day with tips, reassurance and support I did find myself mentioning my aversion to the nut milk and within a few minutes I received a pleasant email with suggestions on how I could make the drink more palatable. It worked. I persevered and by day three I actually began to enjoy it.
As I left work, despite being in good spirits, I was slightly dreading having to exercise for an hour before heading home. Amazed that I had made it to 6pm without losing consciousness, I feared that any exercise may push me over the edge. Arriving at Twenty Two Training I was greeted by Dalton who within minutes made me feel comfortable enough that I could confess the ridiculous truth; I was scared to work-out. Before I knew it an hour had passed and not only had I learned rather a lot about the physiology of the body and how specific exercises could really speed up the detox, I also laughed more than in any training session I’ve ever done.
Day 2 & Day 3
On both days two and three I awoke half an hour before my alarm clock sounded, with seemingly boundless energy. A definite first for me; I’m accustomed to hitting the snooze button at least twice before dragging myself out of bed.
While I didn’t find it at all difficult to not eat I did avoid tormenting myself by steering clear of all temptation. This meant avoiding the office kitchen at lunchtime, cancelling dinner plans and missing out on sunny evenings lounging in the park with friends. Anti-social behaviour seemed to be the only way to abstain from cheating.
Post-cleanse, I had significantly more energy and surprisingly experienced all of the feelings of wellness and clarity that were promised. In fact I am even inclined to make it an annual occurrence. Undoubtedly, the support from Radiance and the Twenty Two team were integral to me successfully completing the programme – I simply wouldn’t have persevered or enjoyed it so much without their guidance. They even sent me a congratulatory email on completion along with tips on how to keep the momentum going along with recipes and a fantastic reading list.
Now that a few months have passed since the cleanse, I can't say that I’ve been entirely saintly in the eating department; however the cleanse has definitely helped me to maintain a much more balanced diet. So while you probably will still find me in Meat Liquor, Bubble Dogs and other eateries of that ilk, chances are I’ll have had a green smoothie for breakfast and will be reading up on alkaline recipes on the tube home. | https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/the-big-squeeze-tried-and-tested-juice-cleanses | 2022-07-05T18:03:13Z | https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/the-big-squeeze-tried-and-tested-juice-cleanses | false | 1 |
