At the June 27 Maryville City Council meeting, Rachael Martin participated in her last meeting, with her council member resignation going into effect at midnight June 28.
Martin addressed the council, giving thanks for her experience and wishing everyone the best in the future. The remainder of the council members reciprocated. Mayor Tye Parsons mentioned some of the development projects that Martin has been apart of in her eight years as council member, including Hughes Field House, Watson 9, Maryville Public Safety building and more. Martin will now pursue her personal career further in another town.
Maryville Parks and Recreation Director Jeff Stubblefield presented the MPR annual report. He reported that as of May 31, total revenue is at $1,218,548.51 with 60 percent of that coming from ad valorem taxes. Total expenses are at $782,030.59 with 67 percent of that coming from personnel.
The following items were approved unanimously by the council.
• An additional eight liquor licenses, seven of them being renewals. The seven renewals approved were Burny’s Sports Bar, Canteen, El Nopal, El Maguey, Maryville Elks Club, Black Pony Brewing Co. and The Hangar. The new applicant was The Palms 2.0. All the applicants provided the necessary documents. Clear Creek at 130 North Depot Street still needs final inspections in order for approval. They will be presented at a future meeting.
• A resolution to participate in the Missouri back-to-school sales tax holiday from August 5 to August 7. The holiday will allow the purchase of school related items sales tax free through those two days. Maryville has participated since 2005.
• Four Missouri Department of Natural Resources ARPA grant applications for various improvements around the city. The first grant application is for drinking water infrastructure projects. If approved, the grant will be used for a new larger water treatment plant with ozone biofiltration technology, that will be located at the Mozingo Lake near existing intakes. The project is estimated at $32,355,000 and the grant will provide $5 million with a $1 million local match. The second application is for wastewater infrastructure projects. If approved, the grant will be used for a sewer main lining and improvement project. There are issues currently with storm water running into the sanitary sewer system in parts of the city. The project will line collector mains in priority locations that will flow parallel to drainage-ways. The total project is estimated at $2 million which will require a $400,000 local match with the grant. The third application is for stormwater infrastructure projects. There are concerns of drainage problems from the hard surfaces of Northwest Missouri State campus, to the southeast into Judah Park. The council approved an agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Kansas City for consulting in the West Maryville Drainage Study, which will cost $24,250. The city is waiting for the study to be complete. If approved, the grant will be used for a project improving stormwater issues. The total project is estimated at around $4 million, requiring a local match of $800,000. The fourth application is for a water service line inventory project. If approved, the project will be for a Maryville Service Line Inventory, to identify lead and copper sources, and to move into mitigation efforts. The total project is $180,000, with a $36,000 local match through the grant.
• A resolution to amend the primary use of ARPA funds. The adopted resolution increases the projects that are currently allocated to $1,761,490. The remaining $590,298 in ARPA funding remains unallocated and at the discretion of the city council. The resolution increased allocation of facade grants from $200,000 to $300,000. The city is looking at applicants for the facade grants. The resolution also includes allocation for West Maryville Drainage Study cost. The mental health patient assistance program for $20,000 based on agreement with St. Francis Hospital Foundation was allocated. A trail maintenance machine received a $24,900 allocation. Some decreases in the resolution are for Municipal Court Transfer going from $110,000 to $55,000, and the water treatment pilot plant from $500,000 to $432,000. Mobile data terminals at the Northwest Regional Communications Center also went from $40,000 to $28,840. Walnut Street proposed improvement decreased allocation from $40,000 to actual expenditure of $39,500.
• A lot split for a property owned by David Schmidt located at 420 W. South Avenue. The split will add .50 acres to the property from the other acreage.
• A contract with Visu-Sewer, East St. Louis, IL, for sanitary sewer main lining. Visu-Sewer quote is at $161,294,63, which will fall under the budget of $200,000 in the water/sewer fund for inflow and infiltration efforts.
• An application regarding funding for the East Thompson Street Trail Project, for the total estimated at $400,000 with a 20 percent local match.
• A contract with Dynamic Disks, Emporia, KS for a new 18-hole disk golf course at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. The cost falls within capital improvements at Mozingo, with the price from Dynamic Disks being at $10,362. The disk golf course would be near “The Point” at the park.

Japanese virologist Hitoshi Oshitani has an impressive record fighting pandemics. As one of the leading experts advising the government during the COVID-19 pandemic, he helped formulate a strategy that has kept deaths in the country with the world’s oldest population lower than any other developed nation, without resorting to lockdowns. Now, as the world clamors for Japan to reopen its borders, he is urging caution. Perhaps it is time to listen.
“I don’t like the notion of ‘back to normal,’” Oshitani, a professor of virology at the Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, said in an interview in his Tokyo office. “That means going back to the pre-pandemic society. That pre-pandemic society is very, very fragile — for many risks, not just infectious disease.”
As one of the first major countries to try living with the virus, Japan offers lessons not just to “zero COVID-19” China, but to the rest of the world, as cases again rise from Singapore to the UK.
Illustration: Mountain people
Oshitani’s approach has helped keep COVID-19 deaths in Japan lower than in Taiwan or New Zealand, where officials tried to eliminate the spread entirely. Oshitani acknowledges tourism needs to resume in some form, but warns that the country is not out of the woods.
He also cautions that the world will see more pandemics in the coming decades. That means it is imperative societies rethink not just how tourism might look, but how all aspects of life should change in the future — before it is too late.
The following transcript has been edited for length and clarity.
Gearoid Reidy (GR): What is the status of Japan’s battle against the coronavirus?
Hitoshi Oshitani (HO): We set our objective for a COVID-19 response on February 24, 2020. Many countries at that time were aiming at containment, but we knew that was extremely difficult. Living with COVID has been the main approach from the beginning.
At the same time, we said that we needed to suppress transmission so that deaths or severe cases could be minimized. We also knew that we needed to maintain social and economic activities.
Although we did not implement a lockdown, people were very cautious from the beginning — every time we had a surge of cases, they changed their behavior. Most measures are on a voluntary basis. The “Three Cs” concept helped people understand what they should avoid: closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact situations where the virus thrives.
Then [the] Omicron [variant of SARS-CoV-2] came, and things got a bit more complicated. Since the denominator became bigger than previous waves, we unfortunately had many deaths, particularly among the elderly. To suppress the transmission, we would need very aggressive measures, like what they are still doing in Shanghai.
Except for China, most countries and areas that had very low mortality impact in 2020 and 2021 had a big impact in 2022 — New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, Hong Kong. Taiwan right now is having a significant outbreak. It’s like the game Othello — the countries or areas with a better outcome can easily turn to the worst outcome. So Japanese people are still cautious, and I’m still considering the worst-case scenario as a possible option in Japan.
The pandemic is not yet over. We should expect some surge of cases in Japan in the coming weeks and our advantage can be a disadvantage in the next stage.
GR: So countries that initially contained the virus are not using the same sort of mitigation strategies?
HO: In the past two-and-a-half years, we’ve had many, many problems. It’s not all a success story. Initially, we had many outbreaks in hospitals and nursing homes, and many elderly people died. But in the second wave, hospitals and nursing homes were much better prepared. They learned a lot of lessons and improved their systems.
But New Zealand, Taiwan and other places probably didn’t have a chance to build better systems — then suddenly they had a huge number of cases due to Omicron. It was the same in South Korea. Our infection rate is still smaller than in the US, or many European countries or even South Korea.
Although our vaccination rate is higher than some countries, still there are people who don’t have immunity. Something like South Korea can happen here anytime. We are in a much better position than one or two years ago, because of vaccination, immunity by natural infection, better treatment and better systems in hospitals and nursing homes — but people are still cautious, most are still wearing masks.
GR: What would you say to those who want Japan to return fully to normal life and treat COVID like influenza?
HO: The situation now is completely different from 2020 and 2021. We are changing — but still there are many uncertainties. Many people compare seasonal influenza and COVID-19, which is kind of nonsense.
I’ve also been working on influenza for many years. Seasonal influenza is different; it’s predictable. Usually you only have an outbreak in certain times of the year, from autumn to spring. While there is some difference in terms of mortality impact, we always see such impact within [a certain] range.
But COVID-19 is different — we cannot predict what is going to happen. We do know that there is the high possibility of a surge of cases [in Japan] in July and August. But that we do not know what mortality impact we are going to have. We still do not know what’s going to happen in winter this year.
The virus is still changing. A more problematic variant may emerge. It was a dramatic change from Alpha to Delta; then Delta to Omicron is a very significant change. For influenza, such a dramatic change only occurs when pandemic influenza emerges. But for COVID-19, every six months or so pandemic influenza-like incidents are occurring.
GR: The business community is calling for Japan to open its borders and go back to normal. What’s your position on tourism and border controls?
HO: Since June 1, the number of incoming passengers increased and there is no testing for many countries. New strains or infected people from [countries] with a higher incidence rate can come to Japan.
We need to think about this carefully. In 2019, we had 30 million people, mainly foreign tourists, coming to Japan. In 2020, the government was hoping we would have over 40 million foreign tourists because of the Olympics — of course, it turned out to be almost zero.
I don’t like the notion of “back to normal.” Back to normal means we are going back to the pre-pandemic society. The pre-pandemic society is very, very, fragile for many risks, not just infectious disease. When they are talking about increasing foreign tourists, I don’t think they consider the risks seriously.
GR: Japanese people can also go abroad and get infected.
HO: That direction is probably a higher risk. In the early days of the pandemic, we had many [COVID-19] cases among people who went to Egypt; Japanese tourists, mostly middle-aged. Many were infected and came back to Japan.
Even if we open the border — and we have to open the border, I understand that is definitely necessary — at the same time we should have some system to minimize the risk. What is the best way? I don’t think the border control measures of Japan, or many countries, are based on proper risk assessment.
I also don’t think this is the last pandemic in the next one or two decades. Pandemics will continue to occur. We were living in a completely different world in 2020 compared to 2003, when the SARS outbreak occurred. SARS spread to many countries just by one infected person, who traveled from Guangdong Province to Hong Kong by bus, and stayed in one hotel.
In 2003, there was not as much traffic between Hong Kong and Guangdong. There weren’t many international connections. But 2020 was completely different — Wuhan was the industrial hub of China. By the time we realized [what was happening], the virus had already spread to Europe, Middle East and the US. So the question is whether we should go back to this risky world or not?
GR: So you’re saying no one’s thinking about the possibility of the next pandemic — something that could be worse than COVID?
HO: That’s possible. Something like Ebola can be an airborne pathogen. Anything can happen. Right now, monkeypox is transmitted among a certain population, but the virus may change. So we have to be prepared and we have to think again what we should do in the next 20, 30 years. Is it a good idea just to go back to normal, to the pre-pandemic society?
GR: Is there enough discussion happening about that within the WHO or other international bodies?
HO: The problem is they are making the same mistakes again and again. They just try to learn lessons from the immediate past outbreak. In 2003, SARS was successfully contained. The system changed, influenza pandemic preparedness was improved — but then the 2009 [swine flu] pandemic was not that severe. And most people forgot, because they were just looking at the immediate past outbreak.
Then in 2014, there was a significant Ebola outbreak in West Africa, but what they did [in response] was just to build the capacity in rural Africa so that the early detection and early response can contain the outbreak — which was completely different for COVID-19. For COVID-19, the initial outbreaks occurred in New York, northern Italy and so on.
By the time we realized, it had already spread, mainly in major metropolitan cities. It was the opposite of the 2014 Ebola outbreak.
GR: It’s like they say, generals always fight the last war.
HO: Exactly. What they are trying to do in the WHO and the international community is just trying to learn the lesson from COVID-19, which may not be applicable for the next pandemic.
GR: What should we be doing instead?
HO: We have to build more resilient society. Of course, we need to have more tourists, more exchange. Before the pandemic, I often traveled on the Tohoku bullet train, which was packed with people, most of them businessmen. Now there are few — Zoom or other Internet meetings can replace this. You don’t have to live in these inhuman cities like Tokyo. People can live in the rural areas; if you have a good Internet connection, you can have a much better life with your kids. We have to think, is globalization really the right way to go?

The global chip shortage last year caused an unprecedented supply-chain crisis, affecting many key industries, including the auto industry. Europe, Japan and the US began to realize the indispensability and ubiquitous dominance of Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturing industry. At the same time, amid the US-China trade war, Beijing’s military aggressions against Taiwan became increasingly blatant and provocative. In light of these developments, Europe, Japan and the US are formulating new policies to rebuild their domestic semiconductor manufacturing base, so as to mitigate the enormous geopolitical and economic risks involved. Last year, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) commanded 56 percent of the global
An April circular by the Chinese Ministry of Education on student admission criteria at Tibetan universities has been harrowing and discriminating to say the least. The circular said that prospective students must state their “political attitude and ideological morality” to be considered for admission. It also said that students should not be involved in religious movements and students who are proficient in Marxist theory should be preferred. Since Beijing started occupying Tibet, it has meticulously introduced policies to dismantle the Tibetan education system, which is closely tied to its rich monastic tradition, and has even pulled students from Afghanistan and eastern
Opinion polls show that Taiwan’s judicial system and law enforcement “enjoy” low approval ratings among Taiwanese. In spite of data showing low crime rates, many Taiwanese drivers have faced aggressive driving, unprovoked road rage, road blocking and unmotivated police officers. Some criminals seem to consider themselves above the law, which is not completely wrong. Reports about so-called “road blocking” can be found in newspapers or on YouTube. An example of this is when “road rowdies” block a vehicle on a road, get out of their vehicle and start to attack the occupants of the blocked vehicle — often attacking in a
When I was teaching in Lesotho in southern Africa during the 1980s, I taught a class on comparative foreign policy. The course included trips to the US embassy, the Soviet embassy, the British embassy and the newly established Chinese embassy. The students could ask the ambassadors and staff questions about foreign policy, and would then write a report as their final term paper. The Chinese ambassador felt that the US-style education I delivered was unique and invited me to go to China to teach. At the time, China was planning to open up to the world, and it needed professors versed | https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2022/07/06/2003781223 | 2022-07-06T01:32:31Z | https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2022/07/06/2003781223 | false | 2 |

Some people have no love for this season of “Love Island.”
The British reality show has received over 781 complaints since its premiere on June 6, according to Variety.
“So far we have received a total of 781 complaints about the current season of ‘Love Island,’” a spokesperson for Ofcom, a UK media regulator, told the outlet on Tuesday.
Viewers have specifically expressed concerns about “bullying on the show, contestants’ wellbeing and mental health, certain contestants getting more screen time than others and the age gap between contestants on the dating show,” the outlet reports.
Fans seem particularly perturbed by Gemma Owen’s ample screen time with many viewers even dubbing Season 8 “The Gemma Show.”
The 19-year-old daughter of former England soccer star Michael Owen ignited a social media firestorm after coupling up with Davide Sanclimenti, a man eight years her senior, toward the beginning of the season.
“ewwww i’m sorry but why does davide as a 27 year old want to be coupled up with a 19 year old,” one viewer wrote on Twitter last month.
Another added, “Keep gemma away from davide. she’s a teenager and he is nearly 30 i am not here for it.”
Spoiler alert. The pair has since “re-coupled” with other contestants. Sidestepping a polarizing age gap, Gemma is presently coupled up with 23-year-old Luca Bish.
Sadly, this isn’t the first time “Love Island” has been hit with an influx of viewer complaints. Per Variety, Season 7 drew a record 25,000 with many of them about a contentious argument between contestants Faye Winter and Teddy Soares.
The show – which features a six-night-a-week broadcast schedule – has faced prior scrutiny following the deaths of former contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis by suicide, as well as host Caroline Flack.
The deaths have launched conversations about the impact “Love Island” has on its participants’ mental health. In response, ITV – the network on which the series airs – now provides contestants with mental health services, among other support.
ITV did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment. | https://pagesix.com/2022/07/05/love-island-receives-over-781-complaints-in-four-weeks/ | 2022-07-06T01:39:18Z | https://pagesix.com/2022/07/05/love-island-receives-over-781-complaints-in-four-weeks/ | false | 1 |
INDIANAPOLIS – Allyson Felix was named to her 10th world championship team, where she will have a chance to run in the mixed relay event and add to her record medal collection.
Felix, whose 18 medals are the most in world-championship history, has announced that this will be her final season in track. At last month's U.S. championships, she finished sixth in the 400 meters and did not qualify for any individual events. But the 36-year-old was named to the mixed relay pool Tuesday when USA Track and Field released its 151-person roster for worlds.
The world championships run July 15-24 in Eugene, Oregon.
Missing from the roster was Sha'Carri Richardson, who failed to qualify for the finals of either the 100 or 200 meters at nationals. Richardson won the women's 100 at Olympic trials last year but was banned from the games after testing positive for a substance found in marijuana.
Among those named to the women's 4x100 relay pool was Gabby Thomas, the 200-meter champion in 2021 who has been dealing with a hamstring injury this season. Thomas finished eighth at nationals last month.
The U.S. will send nine reigning world champions and 29 medalists from Tokyo to the first world championships on American soil. Among those world champions is 100-meter titlist Christian Coleman, who was banned from the Olympics after a case involving missed doping tests.
One headline race of 10-day meet features reigning Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin against reigning world champion Dalilah Muhammad in the 400-meter hurdles.
They have taken turns setting world records over the past three years; McLaughlin lowered it to 51.41 seconds last month at nationals. Muhammad sat out nationals with a hamstring injury. Her world title guaranteed her a spot on the U.S. team. | https://www.ksat.com/sports/2022/07/06/allyson-felix-gets-mixed-relay-nod-heading-to-10th-worlds/ | 2022-07-06T01:53:05Z | https://www.ksat.com/sports/2022/07/06/allyson-felix-gets-mixed-relay-nod-heading-to-10th-worlds/ | false | 43 |
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Simple advice from a friend to stay near the door may have saved Yenifer Yulisa Cardona Tomás from the deadly fate that befell 53 other migrants when they were abandoned trapped in a sweltering semi-trailer last week on the edge of San Antonio.
Speaking by phone from her hospital bed Monday, the 20-year-old from Guatemala’s capital said it was already hot on June 27 when she stepped out of the warehouse on the Texas side of the Mexico border where she had been waiting and climbed into the back of the trailer.
She said the smugglers confiscated their cellphones and covered the trailer’s floor with what she believes was powdered chicken bouillon, apparently to throw off any dogs at checkpoints. As she sat stuffed inside the stifling trailer with dozens of others, the powder stung her skin.
Remembering her friend’s caution to stay near the door where it would be cooler, Cardona Tomás shared the advice with another friend she had made during the journey.
“I told a friend that we shouldn’t go to the back and should stay near (the entrance), in the same place without moving,” said Cardona Tomás, who is being treated at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan in San Antonio. That friend survived, too.
As the truck moved on, making additional stops to pick up more migrants, people began to cluster near the door like Cardona Tomás. She had no way to track the time.
“The people were yelling, some cried. Mostly women were calling for it to stop and to open the doors because it was hot, that they couldn’t breathe,” she said, still laboring a bit to speak after being intubated at the hospital.
She said the driver or someone else in the cab yelled back that “we were about to arrive, that there were 20 minutes left, six minutes.”
“People asked for water, some had run out, others carried some,” she said.
The truck would continue stopping occasionally, but just before she lost consciousness it was moving slowly. She woke up in the hospital.
The driver and three others were arrested and charged by U.S. prosecutors.
Guatemala’s Foreign Ministry has said that 20 Guatemalans died in the incident, 16 of whom have been positively identified. Foreign Minister Mario Búcaro said he hoped the first bodies would be repatriated this week.
Cardona Tomás said the truck’s destination that day was Houston, though she was ultimately headed to North Carolina.
“She didn’t have a job and asked me if I would support her” in migrating to the U.S., her father, Mynor Cardona, said Monday in Guatemala City, where the family lives. He said he knew of other cases of children who just left without telling their families and ended up disappearing or dying so he decided to back her.
He paid $4,000 for a smuggler — less than half the total cost — to take her to the U.S. She left Guatemala on May 30, traveling in cars, buses and finally the semi-trailer in Texas.
“I didn’t know that she would travel in a trailer,” he said. “She told us it would be by foot. It seems like at the last moment the smugglers decided to put (her) in the trailer, along with two more friends, who survived. One of them is still in critical condition.”
Cardona had stayed in touch with his daughter up until the morning of June 27. Her last message to him that Monday was at 10:28 a.m. in Guatemala, or 11:28 a.m. in Texas. “We’re going to go in an hour,” she wrote.
It was not until late that night that Cardona Tomás’ family learned of the abandoned trailer. It was two more days before relatives in the United States confirmed that she was alive and hospitalized.
“We cried so much,” Cardona said. “I even was thinking where we were going to have the wake and bury her. She is a miracle.” | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/state-regional/a-survivor-of-the-migrant-trailer-they-couldnt-breathe/ | 2022-07-06T02:00:27Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/state-regional/a-survivor-of-the-migrant-trailer-they-couldnt-breathe/ | true | 48 |

While Kiss's farewell tour might be winding its inexorable way towards a final show, some rare footage of the band playing live in 1975 has been uploaded to YouTube, giving many fans a new glimpse of the band during their rise to prominence.
The first video to appear was uploaded to an account belonging to a user by the name of Sam Loomis late last month, and featured an entire show from the Alive! Tour, filmed at the Capitol Centre in Largo, Maryland on November 30, 1975.
A week later, another video appeared, from one of Kiss's most famous shows: more than 30 minutes of the band's Dressed To Kill performance at the Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan, on May 16 the same year. The band's Alive! album was recorded at the Cobo Hall, and while footage of the set has been rumoured to exist for years, only a few seconds have been made public previously, on a VH1 Ultimate Albums documentary released in 2003.
A third video was uploaded earlier yesterday, and features almost two hours of black and white footage of Kiss in rehearsal in 1976, including close-up footage of drummer Peter Criss singing Beth without make-up.
Quite where the footage comes from is unclear, although the video blurbs credit Curt Gooch and Ross Bradley, both well-known members of the Kiss collectors' community. Gooch co-authored Kiss Alive Forever: The Complete Touring History and Party Every Day: The Inside Story of Casablanca Records. But whatever the source of the material is, fans are delighted.
"Thanks for the upload," comments one. "It's nice to know that after all these years there's still some incredible gems locked away waiting to be liberated!"
Another says: "I still can't get over how you found this show! It's crazy! I've only seen small portions of these songs live at Detroit in Kiss documentaries, but never the whole songs from this show until now. Thank you!", while a third adds, "This is awesome. Glad to see this get released instead of being hoarded by somebody for almost 50 years!"

Grandal to begin rehab stint in Double-A originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
The troops are starting to roll back in for the Chicago White Sox.
Hours before the start of the second game between the White Sox and Minnesota Twins, news dropped in the clubhouse that White Sox starting catcher Yasmani Grandal will head to Double-A Birmingham Barons to begin his rehab stint.
Grandal suffered a hamstring injury on June 11 while running to first base against the Texas Rangers. He exited the game and was placed on 10-day IL the next day with "lower back spasms."
He began swinging on June 28 and practiced throwing behind the plate to second base before Tuesday's game. The catcher is expected to shift to Triple-A with the Charlotte Knights after beginning his Double A stint tomorrow.
Chicago Baseball
The MLB scheduled the All-Star game to happen July 19, meaning Grandal's return will take at least two more weeks, barring any setbacks during his rehab.
The Cuban catcher is slashing .185/.294/.237 this season with two home runs and 15 RBIs this season. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/chicago-baseball/yasmani-grandal-to-begin-rehab-stint-with-double-a-birmingham-barons/2874166/ | 2022-07-06T02:07:49Z | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/chicago-baseball/yasmani-grandal-to-begin-rehab-stint-with-double-a-birmingham-barons/2874166/ | false | 2 |
The prototype should be ready for operation by 2024 and regular production to start in 2025
WEG has just announced the launch of its new wind turbine platform. Featuring 7 MW and a 172 meters rotor diameter, the wind turbine will be the largest machine in operation in the Brazilian market. With its greater power and efficiency, the new design provides improved output for wind generation projects.
“We have already been successful with our 2.1 MW platform with over 650 MW of operational capacity, exceeding availability commitments, as well as with the current 4.2 MW platform, where we have already sold more than 1000 MW”, says João Paulo Gualberto da Silva, Managing Director of WEG Energy Business Unit. “To continue growing our wind power generation business we naturally keep expanding and offering our customers even more efficient and high-tech solutions,” adds João Paulo.
As with the other platforms, the main concept of the 7 MW wind turbine is designed to be competitive with reliability and ease of operation and maintenance, which maximizes energy production and return on investment to customers, in addition to bringing new business opportunities for Brazilian and overseas customers.
“With wind turbine qualified engineering teams from Brazil, USA and Germany, in addition to the expertise of producing many of the components internally, such as generators, electric motors, electronic components and paints, we will achieve important cost and quality advantages”, says João Paulo.
Differing from the 4.2 MW platform currently manufactured by the company, which stands out for its focus on specific wind and weather conditions in Brazil, the new 7MW wind turbine has been designed with features adapted to also serve other markets. Its Medium-Speed Geared (MSG) drive technology, combined with a full power drive, allows for smooth interconnection to the electrical grid, as well as flexibility to adapt and comply with different grid codes in each country. It is also capable of providing reactive energy even when there is no wind, which can bring other gains in addition to energy generation. The new design also includes modular components such as a taller tower in order to simplify logistics operations and provide an easier assembly concept, particularly for uneven geographic areas.
The manufacture of the new wind turbines will initially take at the manufacturing site in Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil, where the WEG already produces wind turbines and counts on a wind power operation center that controls, monitors and analyzes all units installed all over Brazil. WEG also counts on software using Artificial Intelligence and advanced analysis capable of detecting unexpected performance issues caused by adverse weather conditions.
The prototype of the new 7 MW wind turbine should start operating in early 2024 and regular production is expected for the following year.
Considered as one of the most innovative and global companies from Brazil, leader in the Brazilian and American market of transformers for renewable energies, WEG keeps innovating on a continuous basis in all areas and incorporates new products and new businesses into its portfolio every year.
Founded in 1961, WEG is a global electric-electronic equipment company, operating mainly in the capital goods sector with solutions in electric machines, automation and paints for several sectors, including infrastructure, steel, pulp and paper, oil and gas, mining, among many others. WEG stands out in innovation by constantly developing solutions to meet the major trends in energy efficiency, renewable energy and electric mobility. With manufacturing units in 12 countries and present in more than 135 countries, the company has more than 37,000 employees worldwide. WEG’s net revenue reached R$ 23,6 billion in 2021, 54% from external markets | https://www.evwind.es/2022/07/05/weg-to-launch-a-7-mw-wind-turbine/86854 | 2022-07-06T02:18:29Z | https://www.evwind.es/2022/07/05/weg-to-launch-a-7-mw-wind-turbine/86854 | false | 1 |

Deadly July 4 parade: Shots, then a frantic rush to escape
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) — David Shapiro and his wife brought their two young kids to enjoy the Independence Day parade in their hometown north of Chicago, snagging a spot in front of a boutique winery.
The children's parade in downtown Highland Park had already gone by, with about 50 school-age children riding bikes, scooters and tricycles. The musicians of the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band, complete with full drum set and brass section, were starting to play atop a flatbed trailer.
Then came the sound that Shapiro knew did not fit: pop pop pop pop pop.
Before he knew what was happening, parade-goers from further down the route began running toward the 47-year-old and his family, screaming about someone with a gun.
“It was chaos,” Shapiro recalled. “People didn’t know right away where the gunfire was coming from, whether the gunman was in front or behind you chasing you.”

In major blow, 2 key ministers quit Boris Johnson government
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was clinging to power Tuesday after two of his most senior Cabinet ministers quit, saying they had lost confidence in Johnson’s leadership amid shifting explanations about his handling of a sexual misconduct scandal.
Treasury chief Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resigned within minutes of each other, costing Johnson the support of the men responsible for tackling two of the biggest issues facing Britain — the cost-of-living crisis and surging COVID-19 infections.
Both cited Johnson’s credibility after a day in which the prime minister was forced to backtrack on earlier statements about the scandal that has rattled his government for the past six days.
The debacle is only the latest to hit Johnson, who last month narrowly survived a vote of no confidence triggered by similarly shifting stories about lockdown-breaking parties in government offices.
In his letter of resignation, Javid said the confidence vote showed a large number of Conservative Party lawmakers had lost trust in Johnson.
Judge won’t block law banning most Mississippi abortions
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — As attorneys argued about abortion laws across the South on Tuesday, a Mississippi judge rejected a request by the state’s only abortion clinic to temporarily block a law that would ban most abortions.
Without other developments in the Mississippi lawsuit, the clinic will close at the end of business Wednesday and the state law will take effect Thursday.
One of the clinic's attorneys, Hillary Schneller of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said the judge should have blocked the law.
“People in Mississippi who need abortions right now are in a state of panic, trying to get into the clinic before it’s too late," Schneller said. "No one should be forced to live in fear like that.”
Mississippi legislators passed the “trigger” law before the U.S. Supreme Court recently overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. The clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization, sought a temporary restraining order that would have allowed it to remain open while the lawsuit played out in court.
Parade shooting suspect bought 5 weapons despite threats
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) — The man charged Tuesday with opening fire at an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago legally bought five weapons, including two high-powered rifles, despite authorities being called to his home twice in 2019 for threats of violence and suicide, police said.
Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said the suspect, if convicted of the seven first-degree murder charges, would receive a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole. He promised that dozens more charges would be sought.
A spokesman for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force said the suspected shooter, who was arrested late Monday, used a rifle “similar to an AR-15" to spray more than 70 rounds from atop a commercial building into a crowd that had gathered for the parade in Highland Park, an affluent community of about 30,000 on the Lake Michigan shore.
The assault happened less than three years after police went to the suspect's home following a call from a family member who said he was threatening “to kill everyone” there. Task force spokesman Christopher Covelli said police confiscated 16 knives, a dagger and a sword, but said there was no sign he had any guns at the time, in September 2019.
Police in April 2019 also responded to a reported suicide attempt by the suspect, Covelli said.
Ukrainian governor urges evacuation of 350,000 residents
KRAMATORSK, Ukraine (AP) — The governor of the last remaining eastern province partly under Ukraine's control urged his more than 350,000 residents to flee as Russia escalated its offensive and air alerts were issued across nearly the entire country.
Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said that getting people out of Donetsk province is necessary to save lives and enable the Ukrainian army better to defend towns from the Russian advance.
“The destiny of the whole country will be decided by the Donetsk region,” Kyrylenko told reporters in Kramatrosk, the province's administrative center and home to the Ukrainian military's regional headquarters.
“Once there are less people, we will be able to concentrate more on our enemy and perform our main tasks,” Kyrylenko said.
The governor’s call for residents to leave appeared to represent one of the biggest suggested evacuations of the war, although it's unclear whether people will be willing and safely able to flee. According to the U.N. refugee agency, more than 7.1 million Ukrainians are estimated to be displaced within Ukraine, and more than 4.8 million refugees left the country since Russia's invasion started Feb. 24.
A survivor of the migrant trailer: 'They couldn't breathe'
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Simple advice from a friend to stay near the door may have saved Yenifer Yulisa Cardona Tomás from the deadly fate that befell 53 other migrants when they were abandoned trapped in a sweltering semi-trailer last week on the edge of San Antonio.

Parents of boy, 2, found alone at parade shooting among dead
Aiden McCarthy's photo was shared across Chicago-area social media groups in the hours after the July 4 parade shooting in Highland Park, accompanied by pleas to help identify the 2-year-old who had been found at the scene bloodied and alone and to reunite him with his family.
On Tuesday, friends and authorities confirmed that the boy's parents, Kevin McCarthy, 37, and Irina McCarthy, 35, were among seven people killed in the tragedy.
“At two years old, Aiden is left in the unthinkable position; to grow up without his parents,” wrote Irina Colon on a GoFundMe account she created for the family and Aiden, who was reunited with his grandparents Monday evening.
Friends of the McCarthys said Irina’s parents would care for the boy going forward.
Four of other others who were killed were identified Tuesday as Katherine Goldstein, 64; Jacquelyn Sundheim, 63; Stephen Straus, 88; and Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, 78. Every victim was from Highland Park except for Toledo-Zaragoza, who was visiting family in the city from Morelos, Mexico.
Georgia subpoenaing Giuliani, Graham in Trump election probe
ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia prosecutor investigating the conduct of former President Donald Trump and his allies after the 2020 election is subpoenaing U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and other members of Trump's campaign legal team to testify before a special grand jury.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Tuesday filed petitions with the judge overseeing the special grand jury as part of her investigation into what she alleges was "a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.”
The move marks a major escalation in a case that could pose a serious legal challenge to the former president as he weighs another White House run. While the special grand jury has already heard from top state officials, Tuesday's filings directly target several of Trump's closest allies and advisers, including Giuliani, who led his campaign's legal efforts to overturn the election results.
“It means the investigation is obviously becoming more intense because those are trusted advisers, those are inner circle people,” said Robert James, former district attorney in DeKalb County, which neighbors Fulton.
The special grand jury has been investigating whether Trump and others illegally tried to meddle in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia as he desperately tried to cling to power after Democrat Joe Biden's victory. Trump continues to insist that the election was stolen, despite the fact that numerous federal and local officials, a long list of courts, top former campaign staff and even Trump's own attorney general have all said there is no evidence of the fraud he alleges.
Judge throws out Trump-era rollbacks on endangered species
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday threw out a host of actions by the Trump administration to roll back protections for endangered or threatened species, a year after the Biden administration said it was moving to strengthen such species protections.
U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in Northern California eliminated the Trump-era rules even as two wildlife agencies under President Joe Biden are reviewing or rescinding the regulations. The decision restores a range of protections under the Endangered Species Act — including some that date to the 1970s — while the reviews are completed. Environmental groups hailed the decision, which they said sped up needed protections and critical habitat designations for threatened species, including salmon in the Pacific Northwest.
Tigar's ruling “spoke for species desperately in need of comprehensive federal protections without compromise,” said Kristen Boyles, an attorney for the environmental group Earthjustice. “Threatened and endangered species do not have the luxury of waiting under rules that do not protect them.”
The court ruling comes as two federal agencies — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service — review five Endangered Species Act regulations finalized by President Donald Trump's administration, including critical habitat designations and rules requiring federal agencies to consult with the wildlife or fisheries services before taking actions that could affect threatened or endangered species.
Fish and Wildlife also said it will reinstate the decades-old “blanket rule,” which mandates additional protections for species that are newly classified as threatened. Those protections were removed under Trump.
Warming world creates hazard for Alpine glaciers
Italy was enduring a prolonged heat wave before a massive piece of Alpine glacier broke off and killed hikers on Sunday and experts say climate change will make those hot, destabilizing conditions more common.
Seven hikers died and several others are unaccounted for after large chunks of ice and rock from the Marmolada glacier sped down the mountain in an avalanche. Higher temperatures coupled with below-average winter snowfall were among the factors that may have triggered the event, experts said.
The exact role of climate change in specific events is complicated and large portions of ice can break off Alpine glaciers naturally. But climate change is fueling hotter temperatures that can lead to more ice and snow melt, said Brian Menounos, a professor at the University of Northern British Columbia who researches climate change and glaciers.
“Glaciers are directly responding to a warmer climate, a warmer planet,” said Menounos. “They can respond to long-term changes, but they can also respond to these extreme events," like heat waves.
The Marmolada glacier is in the Dolomite mountains, a range of steep, dramatic peaks in northeast Italy. The region is already being altered by climate change. Between the late 19th and early 21st century, temperatures in the Alps have increased twice as quickly as the global average, according to Copernicus, the European climate modeling group. The U.N. has identified the Mediterranean basin that includes Italy as a climate change hot spot prone to heat waves. Glaciers are in retreat throughout Italy, the Alps and across the world.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. - The man accused of opening fire with a rifle from a rooftop onto a crowd of people watching a July Fourth parade near Chicago, turning the holiday celebration into another national tragedy, was charged on Tuesday (July 5) with seven counts of first-degree murder.
If convicted, the suspect, 21-year-old Robert E. Crimo III, would face a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, Illinois states attorney Eric Reinhart said in announcing the charges at a news conference.
Reinhart said the first-degree murder charges would be followed by dozens of additional charges before the investigation is over. The prosecutor said he would ask that Crimo remain held in custody without bail at the suspect's first court appearance, scheduled for Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear if Crimo had a lawyer.
Authorities said Crimo had planned the attack for weeks and had come to authorities' attention at least twice before on reports that he threatened suicide or harm to others, local officials said on Tuesday.
Authorities said the suspect fired more than 70 rounds from a rooftop at random onto people watching Monday's parade in Highland Park, Illinois, and then made his getaway dressed in a disguise to blend in with the panic-stricken crowd, authorities said on Tuesday.
In addition to the seven people killed in the gunfire, the attack sent more than three dozen other people to area hospitals for treatment of gunshot wounds and other injuries, authorities said.
After fleeing the scene, the suspect drove to Wisconsin and back to Illinois before he was pulled over and arrested later on Monday, according to Sergeant Chris Covelli, a spokesperson for the Lake County Sheriff's office.
At a late-afternoon news briefing on Tuesday, Covelli cited two previous encounters between Crimo and law enforcement - an April 2019 emergency-911 call reporting he had attempted suicide and another in September of that year regarding alleged threats he had directed at family members.
Police responding to the second incident seized a collection of 16 knives, a dagger and a sword amassed by Crimo in his home, though no arrest was made as authorities at the time lacked probable cause to take him into custody, Covelli said.
"There were no complaints that were signed by any of the victims," Covelli explained.
Police revised the confirmed casualty toll from the shooting with the death of a seventh person who succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday.
Among the dead were Nicholas Toledo, a grandfather from Mexico in his 70s celebrating with his family among the flag-waving crowds at Monday's parade, and Jacki Sundheim, a teacher at a nearby synagogue.
Crimo, who has distinctive facial tattoos apparently tried to conceal his identity on Monday as he made his getaway, Covelli told reporters.
"He blended right in with everybody else as they were running around, almost as if he was an innocent spectator as well," Covelli said. The suspect fled to his mother's house nearby, and later borrowed his mother's car.
The shooting took place in a neighborhood with a large Jewish population, but police had no evidence of any anti-Semitic or racist basis. Investigators were reviewing videos he had made filled with violent imagery.
The suspect used a high-powered rifle for the attack, similar to an AR-15, which he dropped at the scene.
He had a similar rifle in his mother's car, which he was driving when taken into custody by police, and owned other guns, all of which were bought legally in Illinois, officials said. In all, Crimo had purchased five firearms, including rifles and handguns.
'Still reeling'
Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering said the community of 30,000 was still in shock.
"This tragedy should have never arrived at our doorsteps," she told NBC News. "As a small town, everybody knows somebody who was affected by this directly and, of course, we are all still reeling."
President Joe Biden ordered US flags to be flown at half-staff in mourning until sunset on Saturday.
The US Supreme Court last month asserted a constitutional right to carry weapons in public in a ruling that made it easier for pro-gun groups to overturn modern gun regulations. It has since thrown out a lower court ruling upholding Maryland's ban on assault weapons.
A recent string of deadly mass shootings, including an attack that left 19 school children and two teachers dead in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, just 10 days after 10 Black people were slain in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, has renewed U.S. debate about gun safety.
Congress last month passed its first major federal gun reform in three decades, providing federal funding to states that administer "red flag" laws intended to remove guns from people deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.
The law does not ban sales of assault-style rifles or high-capacity magazines but does take some steps on background checks by allowing access to information on significant crimes committed by juveniles.
Rotering, the city's mayor, said she knew the suspect when he was a little boy and a Cub Scout and she was a Cub Scout leader.
"What happened? How did somebody become this angry, this hateful?" she said. "Our nation needs to have a conversation about these weekly events involving the murder of dozens of people with legally obtained guns."
The suspect's father, Bob Crimo, ran Bob's Pantry and Deli in Highland Park for at least 18 years, according to a Chicago Tribune business profile. Bob Crimo closed the deli in 2019 before he unsuccessfully ran against Rotering for mayor of Highland Park.
Online social media posts written by the suspect or his rapper alias, "Awake The Rapper," often depicted violent images or messages.
One music video posted to YouTube under Awake The Rapper showed drawings of a stick figure holding a rifle in front of another figure spread on the ground. | https://www.asiaone.com/world/suspect-july-4-parade-shooting-charged-7-counts-1st-degree-murder | 2022-07-06T02:43:48Z | https://www.asiaone.com/world/suspect-july-4-parade-shooting-charged-7-counts-1st-degree-murder | false | 18 |
Rivals must gang up on Pogacar, says Tour de France legend Hinault
Issued on: Modified:
Calais (France) (AFP) – Five-time Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault believes defending champion Tadej Pogacar will be difficult, but not impossible to beat.
Hinault won the Tour in 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982 and 1985, and told AFP in an interview in Dunkirk on Tuesday that Pogacar is a very strong favourite indeed.
Twenty kilometres of cobbles on Wednesday is the Tour's first real challenge, and the last Frenchman to win the Tour de France insists Pogacar will have no problems there despite his slender frame.
"It could be the start of the real Tour de France, quite simply because you can have falls, punctures, all kinds of race incidents meaning the Tour could be lost or won here," said the 67-year-old.
"So normally you'd have to be really vigilant even if it looks like there won't be any wind or rain," he said of stage five between Lille and Arenberg.
This stage features 11 sections of cobbles along the old mining roads used in the one-day classic Paris-Roubaix race known as "The Hell of the North".
"Pogacar has already shown he can deal perfectly well on cobbles after his performance on the Tour of Flanders, where he came fourth," Hinault explained of the nail-biting Belgian cobbled classic in April that Pogacar almost won.
"He's a guy who rolls well on the cobbles and is capable of pulling something off," he said of the Slovenian all-rounder who won the Tour in 2020 and 2021.
Expect stage seven skirmish
Known as 'the Badger' in his racing days due to his attacking attitude, Hinault suggested Ineos and Jumbo might do well to join forces to trap the two-time champion on his own and then mug him.
"If you want to beat Pogacar, you have to attack him and attack him in numbers. One rider attacking wouldn't be enough because he'd dominate that struggle," he insisted.
"So if you have a team with two or three riders in a team capable of attacking him, Pogacar's only solution would be to counter-attack and go on his own or give it up.
"Either Jumbo or Ineos could take Pogacar on, but only if they don't attack each other and only race against him."
The man who also won the Giro d'Italia three times and the Vuelta a Espana twice said Saturday's climb to La Planche des Belles Filles in the Vosges would be the perfect location to lie in wait for the 23-year-old Slovenian.
"The first real chance they have against him is at La Planche des Belles Filles. That is where the first big clash is going to be," he predicted.
"The big mountain stages will be the most dangerous for Pogacar. But only if the others actually dare to race him."
But even then Hinault insisted that Pogacar, currently third in the Tour de France rankings 32 seconds behind Belgian yellow jersey wearer Wout van Aert, was only at risk in certain situations.
At La Planche des Belles Filles they could take him if the race gets going right from the start.
"If they wait until the foot of the climb it won't work, but a full day of attacking could do the trick."

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister and Central Information Secretary of Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarian (PPP-P) Shazia Atta Marri has termed July 5, 1977, as the “most shameful and darkest day” in the history of Pakistan.
She said that July 5, 1977, was the darkest day in the history of Pakistan whose devastating effects had caused irreparable damage to the country. Marri added that on this day, the worst dictator, Gen Ziaul Haq, ousted the first democratically-elected prime minister of Pakistan Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and he altered Pakistan’s political fabric by overthrowing and arresting the ruling prime minister but he couldn’t remove Bhutto’s thoughts and ideology from the hearts and minds of the people.

An Amtrak train derailed in rural Missouri after hitting a dump truck at a highway-rail crossing. Four people died.
In 2021, 105 people died in incidents at highway-rail crossings like the one in Missouri.
"It's a lot less than the number of people killed in traffic accidents, of course," University of Delaware Professor Allan Zarembski said. "But it's a significant number."
There are far fewer deaths compared to decades ago. But in recent years, the rate of incidents at highway-rail crossings has been increasing — up 32% in 10 years. That's according to records Newsy reviewed at the Federal Railroad Administration.
The agency is researching why mishaps are climbing, sharing these possible explanations: More rail and highway traffic, development along rail rights of way and individuals engaging in risky behavior.
"Unfortunately, a large number of these accidents are people trying to beat the train," Zarembski said.
The National Transportation Safety Board is looking at another possible factor in Missouri. The crossing did not have an active warning device seen at busier intersections, like a flashing sign or a gate that comes down.
"There were no arms, there were no warning lights, there were no bells," NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said.
About half of the nation's crossings don't have that kind of active safety equipment. They're considered passive crossings, with signs or markings on the road.
The Federal Railroad Administration tells Newsy, "not every crossing needs an active warning device system ... ."
But many are still dangerous.
Newsy mapped three passive warning crossings with the most fatalities in the U.S.: Six deaths at a crossing in Cross County, Arkansas; five dead at an intersection in Las Animas County, Colorado; and five deaths at a rail crossing in Christian County, Illinois.
"Why aren't all crossings protected? It's expensive," Zarembski said. "And don't forget, by the way, a lot of the crossings are in the middle of nowhere. So if I'm putting lights and gates, I need power."
The new infrastructure law includes $3 billion to improve rail crossings across the country.

SYDNEY (AP) — Floodwaters had inundated or were threatening the homes of 85,000 people around Sydney on Wednesday as rivers started to recede and the heavy rains tracked north of Australia’s largest city.
While rain was easing across Sydney, several waterways including the Hawkesbury-Nepean rivers system on Sydney’s northern and western fringes remained at major flood levels, Emergency Services Minister Steph Cooke said.
Emergency responders knocked on doors overnight in the towns of Singleton and Muswellbrook, in the Hunter Valley north of Sydney, to order residents to evacuate, she said.
“For many, it has been a sleepless night,” Cooke said.
Evacuation orders and official warnings to prepare to abandon homes were given to 85,000 people by Wednesday, up from 50,000 on Tuesday, New South Wales state Premier Dominic Perrottet said.
On the fifth day of the flood emergency, Perrottet warned that homes that remained dry during previous floods could be inundated this week.
“This event is far from over. Please don’t have that past experience inform your current behavior,” Perrottet said.
Federal funding would be available to flood victims from Thursday, less than two days after a disaster was declared in 23 local government areas, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.
“This is, I believe, the quickest that these payments have ever been approved,” Albanese said.
Albanese said the fourth major flood event across Sydney and its surrounds since March last year that followed devastating wildfires in the same region during the 2019-2020 Southern Hemisphere summer were evidence of the need for climate action.
“We are looking at long-term solutions. My government has changed Australia’s position on climate change from day one,” he said.
Albanese’s center-left Labor Party was elected in May on a promise to cut Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by 43% below 2005 levels by the end of the decade. The previous conservative government had promised a reduction of between 26% and 28%.
“What we know is that Australia has always been subject of floods, of bushfires, but we know that the science told us that if we continued to not take action, globally, on climate change, then ... extreme weather events would be more often and more intense. And what we’re seeing, unfortunately, is that play out,” Albanese added.
When Parliament resumes on July 26 for the first time since the election, the government will propose spending 4.8 billion Australian dollars ($3.3 billion) on disaster mitigation measures such as building higher river levees, Albanese said.
Bureau of Meteorology manager Jane Golding said the weather pattern that brought heavy rain to Sydney since Friday has moved off the coast north of the city of 5 million people.

GALLE, Sri Lanka (AP) — The sport of cricket has become a welcome distraction for Sri Lankans looking for a break from the effects of the economic crisis in the country — long lines to buy fuel and cooking gas and school and work disrupted because there is little access to public transport.
The cricket-crazed South Asian island nation is facing its worst economic crisis in recent memory, enduring acute shortages of food, fuel and medicine. The government has shut schools and universities and has limited fuel supplies.
“Yes there is a problem in the country, people have become poor and helpless with all kinds of problems. We have been living a monotonous life and sometimes spent five, six seven days in fuel lines,” said Ujith Nilantha, who watched the first test between Sri Lanka and Australia with his 10-year-old son last week in the southern city of Galle.
“There is no happiness for children, and we can’t provide what the child needs. When we watch this (cricket) it brings a mental healing,” added Nilantha, whose livelihood in the tourism sector has been disrupted after arrivals fell with the energy crisis.
Nilantha said he had planned to suggest his son play cricket, an expensive game by Sri Lanka's standards, but his life changed quickly with the economic crisis and his plans were shattered.
“We love cricket but we can’t spend all our time on cricket, with the employment problems and all of that. But I expect to get some relief from the pressures by watching cricket.”
Cricket, a legacy from British colonizers, has become part of the local culture in Sri Lanka as in many South Asian and Caribbean nations. It is has been looked upon as a unifying factor in a country torn apart by racial, religious and political discord.
Even a bloody quarter-century civil war did not hamper the progress or the following of the sport in Sri Lanka.
The now-defeated Tamil Tiger rebel group which fought for an independent state silenced their arms for the 1996 World Cup final, when Sri Lanka beat Australia to win the title.
Teenager Theekshana Nethumaksila was at the scenic cricket ground in Galle, having traveled from the neighboring city of Matara by train.
The 16-year-old Nethumaksila is scheduled to sit for public exams this year but is unable to prepare properly because the schools are closed.
“We only have cricket in times of sadness,” he said. “We come here to watch cricket to get it off our minds.”
Before going ahead with the tour, the Australian cricket team had to contemplate whether it was ethical to travel to Sri Lanka and play when local people were struggling without electricity even for basic needs.
The tour involved a three-game Twenty20 international series, won by Australia, and a five-match one-day international series, won 3-2 by Sri Lanka.
The Australian team's decision to go ahead with the tour earned them admiration from fans who turned up at the fifth one-day match last month dressed in yellow — the color of Australia's ODI uniform — to thank them for entertaining them and sending a positive message about Sri Lanka to the world.
Some of the Australian players returned the favor. L ed by captain Pat Cummins, many used social media to say they appreciated the outpouring of support they had received from the Sri Lankan fans.
Australia won the first test match by 10 wickets, leaving Sri Lanka a chance to square the series when the tour concludes with the second test starting Friday, also at Galle.

TORONTO - Phillipina Kyei has put on a Canadian shirt for numerous national team practices the past few years, but the fit never felt quite so right as it did Tuesday night.
Just a day after Kyei became a Canadian citizen, the six-foot-eight centre from Ghana made her national team debut, starting for Canada's under-23 women's team in a 65-53 victory over Belgium at the inaugural GloblJam tournament.
"Definitely (the jersey felt different)," Kyei said with a wide smile. "The only reason stopping me from making the team was my citizenship. I just got that yesterday, played a game today. So, two (pieces of) good news."
Aaliyah Edwards led Canada with 22 points and 12 rebounds, while Shayeann Day-Wilson had 18 and Shaina Pellington chipped in with 13. The 18-year-old Kyei had four rebounds and an assist in her 10 minutes of action.
Edwards made her Olympic debut last summer in Tokyo, and said the U23 tournament is a terrific chance to play a leading role.
"Having the experience with the women's national team, had a lot of mentors, all my big sisters carrying me up to that level, they're now moving on with their professional careers, so for me to be able to step up is what coach has been harping on, to be a leader and guide the next generation," she said.
Kyei — which is pronounced Chay — and her family moved from Ghana to Canada about four-and-a-half years ago, settling in Calgary. She'd loved playing soccer and running as a kid, but her height caught the attention of the high school basketball coach and so she went out for her Grade 9 team.
"I didn't know anything about basketball. It started off not so great, I struggled a lot. The rules were so much for me," she said.
Former Mount Royal University coach Nathan McKibbon was helping Canada Basketball identify talent in Alberta and spotted Kyei. She was invited to the first of several national team camps.
"That's where we realized, wow, we've got to invest in her," said Denise Dignard, Canada Basketball's women's high performance director.
Dignard doesn't believe Canada has ever had a six-foot-eight women's player. She also moves with remarkable athleticism.
"We've been really happy with her throughout this camp," said head coach Carly Clarke. "To see her growth over the last two years, I guess since pre-COVID, obviously her size and length is really intriguing. And she moves well for her size. So we're excited about what she could become."
Kyei, whose teammates call her "Philly," became a Canadian citizen via Zoom on Monday, seated in front of a laptop in the team hotel ballroom, a Canadian flag draped around her shoulders. She had to recite the Oath of Canadian Citizenship, and sing "O Canada." Her coaches sang along.
"They were there to help me in case I messed up," Kyei said with a laugh.
Her teammates and coaches presented her with balloons and flowers, and after living in limbo without a national team to play for, she said the traditional team jersey ceremonial handout was special.
"I remember crying when I couldn't make the team (because of her citizenship status)," she said. "I was really sad. I used to watch the game, they would post stories about it. I was like, wow, I wish that was me.
"This year, finally, after all the years I've been playing … I got my citizenship. And I made the team."
Kyei is one year into her college career at the University of Oregon — she's the tallest female player in Ducks history. She averaged 3.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 8.6 minutes off the bench, shooting 51.9 per cent from the field and blocking 15 shots.
Canada, meanwhile, trailed Belgium 20-13 after the first quarter at Mattamy Athletic Centre, but took a 32-29 advantage into halftime. The Canadians led 48-44 with one quarter left.
The men's team tipped off their tournament against Brazil in Tuesday's late game.
The new FIBA-sanctioned tournament is intended to help bridge the gap between international U19 action and the senior programs.
The women will also play the U.S. and France, while the men play the U.S. and Italy. All teams play in Saturday's semifinals. The medal games are scheduled for Sunday.
THROW-INS: In earlier games Tuesday, France defeated the U.S. women 62-44, while on the men's side Italy tripped the U.S. 88-77.

MIAMI (AP) — Sandy Alcantara pitched eight dominant innings in his second straight win, and the Miami Marlins beat the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory.
Alcantara (9-3) allowed two hits — singles by Luis Rengifo in the fifth and Mike Trout in the seventh — in his 11th consecutive outing of at least seven innings. The right-hander struck out 10 and lowered his ERA to 1.82.
“I just try to stay consistent, go out there every fifth day and fight for my team,” Alcantara said. “Every time I can pitch seven, eight innings I feel satisfied. It’s a long career and you have to stay healthy.”
Tanner Scott earned his 10th save, surrendering Taylor Ward’s sacrifice fly before retiring Jared Walsh on a liner to center for the final out.
Garrett Cooper and Bryan De La Cruz homered for Miami. Joey Wendle had two hits.
Marlins manager Don Mattingly considered giving Alcantara the opportunity for consecutive complete games. But with a prolonged bottom of the eighth, which included a pitching change, Alcantara was done after 107 pitches.
“It’s hard because Sandy is your best guy no matter where you are,” Mattingly said.
Trout snapped an 0-for-16 skid with his infield single leading off the seventh. The three-time AL MVP struck out in his first two at-bats against Alcantara.
Reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani went 0 for 3 with a walk. Ohtani, who turned 28 on Tuesday, reached on a fielder’s choice in the seventh and stole his ninth base of the season.
“We came back, we fought, we’ve been doing everything we can,” Angels interim manager Bill Haselman said.
Alcantara retired his first 14 batters before Rengifo’s soft line drive to right.
Cooper connected against Noah Syndergaard (5-7) in the third, driving a 3-2 pitch over the wall in left-center for his sixth homer.
De La Cruz went deep in the fifth. It was his sixth of the year.
Syndergaard allowed five hits, struck out eight and walked none in five innings.
“Some of my stuff didn’t have swing and miss action,” Syndergaard said. “Got away with some pitches and made it through five.”
Umpire Lance Barrett ejected Miami right-fielder Avisaíl García for arguing balls and strikes in the fourth.
SCANT SCORING CHANCES
The Angels had two scoring opportunities against Alcantara. After his two-out single in the fifth, Rengifo stole second and advanced to third on catcher Jacob Stallings’ throwing error. But Alcantara struck out Max Stassi to end the threat. Ohtani advanced to third on Ward’s fly ball to deep center before Alcantara struck out Walsh for the final out in the seventh.
“I’ve said it before, I don’t worry when I have men on base,” Alcantara said. “I trust my stuff and have to use it to my advantage.”
UNLIKELY BASE STEALER
Include Jesús Aguilar among the Marlins who have contributed to the club’s NL-leading 65 stolen bases. The husky first baseman got his first career steal in the first. Aguilar, who reached on a throwing error by second baseman Rengifo, beat catcher Stassi’s throw in his successful attempt at second.
“It was an off-speed pitch, that’s why I got it,” Aguilar said. “Finally, I got one after six years.”
DON’T UNPACK
The Marlins’ brief homestand against the Angels interrupts a stretch of 11 road games. Before their two-game set with the Angels, the Marlins finished 5-2 in St. Louis and Washington. They begin a four-game series at the NL East-leading New York Mets on Thursday.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Angels: INF-OF David Fletcher (left hip strain) has been progressing and will take live swings soon.
Marlins: 2B Jazz Chisholm Jr. (right lower back strain) is doing mobility exercises at the club’s spring training complex. ... LHP Jesús Luzardo (left forearm strain) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session.
UP NEXT
Ohtani (7-4, 2.68 ERA) makes his first career start against Miami in the closing game of the series Wednesday. LHP Trevor Rogers (4-6, 5.56 ERA) starts for the Marlins.

Wildfires are breaking out across Yukon as lightning pummels the territory and a heat wave wears on, a fire information officer says.
Mike Fancie of Yukon Wildland Fire Management says about 20 fires a day have been sparked beginning on the long weekend, bringing the total this year to 155 wildfires that have burned 45,000 hectares.
Fancie described the proportion of fires caused by lightning as “stupendously high” at 97 per cent, compared with about 70 per cent in a typical year with the remainder being caused by humans.
On Monday alone, there were more than 3,000 lightning strikes, 484 of which were positive strikes that carry with them increased fire danger, he said.
“The sheer volume of lightning activity and new fires over the past few days have totally obliterated that statistic,” he said.
“Yukon is facing unprecedented levels of lightning-caused wildfire activity right now.”
The fires come as Environment Canada issued a heat warning for much of the territory, while both fires and flooding have prompted evacuation alerts in several areas. Multiple highway closures are also impacting transportation and access to communities.
Yukon Emergency Measures Organization issued a new evacuation alert for the Silver Trail and surrounding areas Tuesday. The Ethel Lake campground was evacuated Saturday.
Of particular concern is the Crystal Creek fire in central Yukon, which has grown to 2,500 hectares and prompted an evacuation alert Sunday for Stewart Crossing about 15 kilometres away. The fire also forced the closure of part of the Klondike Highway, an important transportation link between Whitehorse, Dawson and Mayo.
Meanwhile, flood warnings have been in effect since last week for areas around Teslin Lake and Yukon River near Carmacks.
Many of the challenges are caused by a so-called Rex block weather system, which occurs when a high-pressure system sits above a low-pressure system and brings isolated thunderstorms, Fancie said.
“Why these are bad for us is that they’re very stable weather patterns. So when the high-pressure ridge sits over us like this, it invariably means that we can expect this weather condition for an extended period of time and that’s what’s happening,” he said.
Forecasters are predicting decreasing temperatures Friday and Saturday, but it’s too early to count on that, he said.
Yukon has already called in extra support through mutual aid agreements from British Columbia.
There were 104 active fires Tuesday, compared with 36 on the same date last year. The total area burned by Tuesday morning was 42,979 hectares compared with 27,492 in 2021, he said.
Environment Canada also issued a heat warning Tuesday for much of the territory, urging residents to drink lots of water and seek out cool places.
Temperatures were expected to reach 28 C with nighttime lows of 13 C. The warning applied to Whitehorse, Old Crow, Dawson and other areas throughout the central, southern and western regions of the territory.
It comes after daily temperature records were set Monday in Haines Junction, Carmacks and Teslin, with heat hovering around 30 C.

Eight Maricopa County burn survivors, including a former Gilbert man, successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, in six days.
Team Courage Rising survivors included 11-year-old Isla Cook, 12-year-old Isabella McCune, Hailey Boyce, Phoenix Fire Capt. Susie Fawcett, Peoria teacher Christin Lipinski; renowned mommy blogger Stephanie Nielson and her husband, Christian, and Jason Nelson.
Nelson, now a Mesa resident, suffered burns to 80% of his body when a natural gas explosion ignited in his Gilbert home.
All eight people reached the 19,341-foot-tall summit on June 22 and returned home June 26. They had left the country on June 13.
“Christian and I had to climb some pretty steep mountains in the burn center with some pretty amazing doctors, nurses, and staff by our sides keeping us alive and cheering us on,” Mesa resident Stephanie Nielson said in a news release.
“Climbing Kilimanjaro with those same people, and other burn survivors, will bring us full circle in our recovery. This time we’re climbing a mountain that we can choose to climb, and we’ll be cheering each other on. We’re so excited to conquer this mountain and prove to the world that our scars can’t hold us back.”
The group also had a goal to raise money for the new Arizona Burn Center opening in late 2023 at Valleywise Health through the Valleywise Health Foundation.
The 48-member group included support staff and Valleywise Health Foundation representatives.
The trek, which was without incident, saw the group climb 6,000 feet and 7 miles on day one, followed by nearly 3,000 more feet and 3 miles on day two.

PORTLAND — In the central Oregon city of Bend, the sole Planned Parenthood clinic serving the eastern half of the state is bracing for an influx of patients, particularly from neighboring Idaho, where a trigger law banning most abortions is expected to take effect this summer.
“We've already started hiring,” said Joanna Dennis-Cook, the Bend Health Center Manager.
Across the U.S. West, many abortion providers serving rural areas were already struggling to meet demand in a vast region where staffing shortages and long travel distances are barriers to reproductive services for women. Oregon alone is larger geographically than the entire United Kingdom.
Some facilities serving rural communities in states where abortion remains legal worry those pre-existing challenges could be further compounded by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, as more patients travel from states where the procedure is banned or greatly restricted.
Anticipating an abortion ban in Idaho, Oregon lawmakers earlier this year created a $15 million fund to increase access to abortion services.
Northwest Abortion Access Fund, a nonprofit that helps patients pay for travel and the procedure itself, has been tapped to receive the first $1 million. NWAAF has worked with the Bend clinic for 20 years, and they are collaborating to meet the needs of a growing number of patients.
Dennis-Cook says her clinic is providing additional training for staff and modifying schedules “to ensure that we can accommodate increases in patient numbers” as more people travel farther for care.
Before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 20% of U.S. women already had to travel at least 42 miles to reach the nearest abortion clinic, according to 2014 data analyzed by the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights, which published its findings in The Lancet Public Health. Across much of eastern Oregon, that distance can jump to nearly 180 miles. As more states move to enact trigger bans on abortion, distances could increase further for many patients.
Dennis-Cook says the Bend health center has been seeing patients coming from as far away as Texas.
Bend's clinic has six exam rooms and receives about 600 visits per month. As it is “on the smaller side,” Dennis-Cook said it is “limited” in what it can provide.
“We only do first trimester procedures here," she explained. She added the clinic can't do procedures involving general anesthesia. "We don't have a plethora of nurses who can do that type of work to draw from."
Smaller abortion clinics, particularly ones in rural areas, have historically grappled with shortages of staff and doctors who can perform the procedure. This in turn affects scheduling availability.
Amidst growing demand for travel funds, NWAAF has already exhausted its planned operating budgets for this year, according to Riley Keane, a Practical Support Lead for the group.
“Last year we gave away about $1 million all told,” Keane explained, referring to grants given to clinics to cover abortion costs and travel funds provided to patients. She said this year NWAAF is "on track to double that potentially.”
Keane expects the $1 million from Oregon's new abortion access fund will make “a huge difference” for NWAAF, which normally relies on individual donors. She says this year marks the first time the group is receiving government money.
NWAAF says it is concerned about providing travel funds to patients in states where abortion is banned or greatly restricted, but added it is working with legal professionals to assess the shifting landscape.
“They keep us up to date on things we need to be concerned about,” Keane said.
In response to laws such as those passed in Texas allowing private individuals to sue abortion providers, the governors of Oregon, Washington and California announced a joint commitment to protect patients and doctors “against judicial and local law enforcement cooperation with out-of-state investigations, inquiries and arrests.”
The three Democratic governors also said they will refuse “extradition of individuals for criminal prosecution" for receiving or supporting abortion services that are legal in their states.
NWAAF's service region includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska.
Keane says NWAAF will continue its work for now.
“Currently, our legal advisers haven’t told us that we need to stop operating,” she said. | https://www.bakercityherald.com/in-rural-west-more-worries-about-access-to-abortion-clinics/article_bfaadec6-fc73-11ec-844c-97cf985f9dc6.html | 2022-07-06T03:53:19Z | https://www.bakercityherald.com/in-rural-west-more-worries-about-access-to-abortion-clinics/article_bfaadec6-fc73-11ec-844c-97cf985f9dc6.html | true | 33 |
NEW YORK, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Target Corporation ("Target" or the "Company") (NYSE: TGT). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether Target and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
On May 18, 2022, Target announced its first quarter 2022 financial results in a press release. The Company also provided guidance, expecting second quarter 2022 "operating income margin rate [to] be in a wide range centered around first quarter's operating margin rate of 5.3 percent." Just three weeks later, on June 7, 2022, Target revised its guidance, expecting the second quarter 2022 operating margin rate to "be in a range around 2%." The Company attributed the change to "a set of actions to right-size [Target's] inventory for the balance of the year[.]"
On this news, Target's stock price fell $3.69 per share, or 2.31%, to close at $155.98 per share on June 7, 2022.

Kyle Richards took to Instagram on Tuesday after being attacked online over a preview clip for The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
The 53-year-old reality star explained herself in posts on Instagram Stories after viewers of the Bravo reality show were incensed over a teaser released on Monday for Wednesday's episode of the show.
Kyle posted from London where she's been promoting season 12 of the series after receiving some online backlash.

'Hi guys, I wanted to share some things with you about this week's episode. I have not seen it yet but have seen the clips floating around online,' Kyle wrote in her first post.
'First, let's address my comment to Sutton. When Diana was sharing her story about having a miscarriage I was taken aback because I felt like Sutton wasn't letting Diana have her moment to share what she had just recently gone through,' she wrote referencing co-stars Sutton Stracke and show newcomer Diana Jenkins.
'I had obviously had a few drinks and didn't express myself clearly & I was disappointed in the way I handled myself altogether,' Kyle posted refencing the incident that occurred during a birthday party for Garcelle Beauvais.
'When I woke up the next morning I thought about what happened the night before and I realized that maybe Sutton was sharing her story with Diana to connect with her in some way. I immediately called Sutton and apologized to her. I consider Sutton a close friend and care about her a lot. Sutton accepted my apology and we moved on,' Kyle shared.

'Now onto the clip where Mauricio, Pk, Dorit & I are discussing Erika's behavior at Garcelle's party. I had not seen what Erika said to Jax in persong but was told about it the following day along with some funny moments as well,' she said referecning her husband, Paul 'PK' Kemsley, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne and Garcelle's teenage son.
'I hope you know me well enough by now to know I certainly do not condone speaking to children like that,' Kyle added in response to Erika speaking crudely to Jax.
'We are all parents and certainly wouldn't want anyone speaking to any of our children like that. Until Mexico we had never seen Erika drink like that. So this was new behavior we were seeing,' the mother-of-four continued referencing a group trip to Mexico shown on season 12.

'I think while focusing on that the more important issue was being minimalized. Anyway, I never post things like this but I feel absolutely terrible watching these clips so I wanted to share with you. [red heart emoji] Kyle,' she concluded.
Kyle in the preview clip was shown with Mauricio, PK and Dorit discussing Erika's use of profanity with Jax.
'Wait, did you guys miss when Erika said to Garcelle's son, the 14-year-old, to go 'f— off'?,' Kyle asked while laughing in the teaser.
Four daughters: 'We are all parents and certainly wouldn't want anyone speaking to any of our children like that. Until Mexico we had never seen Erika drink like that. So this was new behavior we were seeing,' the mother-of-four continued referencing a group trip to Mexico shown on season 12
Online backlash: Kyle was called out online by some for laughing about Erika's interaction with Jax
'I mean, it's not funny, but it is funny,' she said.
'I think it's great that she did that,' said Mauricio, 52.
Kyle continued that she enjoyed 'seeing this more relaxed side' of Erika.
Garcelle, 55, reacted to the teaser clip after a Twitter user asked if she had seen it yet.
'Nope never saw this scene until now,' she responded on Monday along with an angry face emoji.

In an earlier preview, Jax was shown picking up flower arrangements at the end of Garcelle's birthday party. When he walked over to the table where Erika and Dorit were seated, Erika, 50, asked the teen, 'Wait, what are you doing here?'
'Get the f*** out of here. Get the f*** out of here,' she continued. 'Get the f*** out of here before you get in trouble.'
Jax told his mother how he 'just got violated for grabbing flowers' by Erika and Garcelle promptly left her own party.

Garcelle posted a group photo of her sons Jax, Jaid and Oliver on social media on Tuesday for her followers on Twitter and Instagram.
'This is an appreciation post for my sons Oliver, Jax, & Jaid. You boys make me so proud… you are loving, kind, and respectful. You show respect to people even when they don't deserve it. Respect is a reflection of your character, not theirs,' she wrote in the caption.
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills will air its next episode on Wednesday on Bravo.
Kyle has been a main cast member since RHOBH premiered in October 2010.

Concerns in Fairhope over reckless golf cart drivers
Residents are worried about the reckless use of golf carts and bikes
FAIRHOPE, Ala. (WALA) - Bikes and golf carts have become common in downtown Fairhope. And while most people are following the rules, some are not.
Some people believe there’s a problem with the low-speed vehicle traffic. Tuesday, the Fairhope Bicycle-Pedestrian Committee met to discuss ways to fix it. A Corporal with the Fairhope Police Department sat in on that meeting and provided insight into what officers are doing to address this issue.
“I think people having a much more laissez-faire attitude when it comes to golf carts because they’re in a different frame of mind and they’re probably in a more relaxed state, so they’re not going to be paying as much attention as they should be,” Katie Bolton said.
And for golf carts, there are issues like children riding on the back unsecured or children themselves operating them. All of this has police worried. Officers are taking the approach to help educate first before handing out punishments, but for serious or repeat offenses, citations will be handed out.
Part of educating people in the city will include posting reminders of the city’s code on social media.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) is now accepting nominations for county committee members. Elections will occur in certain Local Administrative Areas (LAA) for members. LAAs are elective areas for FSA committees in a single county or multi-county jurisdiction. This may include LAAs that are focused on an urban or suburban area.
County committee members make important decisions about how Federal farm programs are administered locally. All nomination forms for the 2022 election must be postmarked or received in the local FSA office by August 1, 2022.
“It is a priority for USDA to integrate equity into its decision-making and policymaking, and that starts with our local FSA county committees,” said Joe Aull, State Executive Director for FSA in Missouri. “We need enthusiastic, diverse leaders to serve other agricultural producers on these committees as we work to build equitable systems and programming inclusive of all employees and all of our customers. I ask that you consider making a difference in your community by nominating yourself, or another agricultural producer, to serve on your local FSA county committee.”
Mr. Aull said agricultural producers who participate or cooperate in a USDA program and reside in the LAA that is up for election this year, may be nominated for candidacy for the county committee. A cooperating producer is someone who has provided information about their farming or ranching operation to FSA, even if they have not applied or received program benefits. Individuals may nominate themselves or others and qualifying organizations may also nominate candidates. USDA encourages minority producers, women, and beginning farmers or ranchers to nominate, vote and hold office.
Nationwide, more than 7,700 dedicated members of the agricultural community serve on FSA county committees. The committees are made up of three to 11 members who serve three-year terms. Producers serving on FSA county committees play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of the agency. Committee members are vital to how FSA carries out disaster programs, as well as conservation, commodity and price support programs, county office employment and other agricultural issues.
More Information
Producers should contact their local FSA office to register and find out how to get involved in their county’s election, including if their LAA is up for election this year. To be considered, a producer must be registered and sign an FSA-669A nomination form. Urban farmers should use an FSA-669-A-3 for urban county committees. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available at fsa.usda.gov/elections.
Election ballots will be mailed to eligible voters beginning November 7, 2022. Producers can find their local USDA Service Center at farmers.gov/service-locator. | https://farmerpublishing.com/2022/07/05/farm-service-agency-accepting-nominations-for-farmers-and-ranchers-to-serve-on-local-county-committees/ | 2022-07-06T04:06:38Z | https://farmerpublishing.com/2022/07/05/farm-service-agency-accepting-nominations-for-farmers-and-ranchers-to-serve-on-local-county-committees/ | true | 9 |

BALTIMORE (AP) — Cedric Mullins doubled in the winning run in the 10th inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 10-9 Tuesday night in a wild game that featured several comebacks and clutch home runs.
Mullins hit a two-out liner into the gap off Matt Moore (3-2) to bring home Ryan McKenna, who started the inning at second base.
Joey Krehbiel (4-3) worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 10th for the Orioles, who have won three straight following a four-game skid.
This one was particularly enjoyable, even if they couldn't shake the Rangers until the game's final play. The Orioles became the first team in major league history to allow a game-tying or go-ahead homer in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings and still win the game, according to Stats.
“That's a great feeling, to be in the fight all night and to come out on top,” Mullins said. “We had a lot of chances to end it early, but it's huge for our pitching staff to know they have guys they can count on if they don't come out strong.”
Texas trailed 4-0 in the second inning, 7-4 in the eighth and 8-7 in the ninth before rallying. Not to be outdone, Baltimore pulled out of a 9-8 deficit in the ninth when Rougned Odor hit a two-out, solo shot to right-center off Joe Barlow.
Mitch Garver, Nathaniel Lowe and Corey Seagar homered for the Rangers, who have connected in 11 straight games, tying their longest run of the season.
“We fought. We had some big hits there at the end,” manager Chris Woodward said.
But poor pitching from a weary relief staff was too much to overcome.
“We were pretty thin in the bullpen. Some of those guys we wanted to stay away from came in and pitched and gave it everything they had,” Woodward said. “The pitches we gave up got too much of the plate.”
After Lowe hit a three-run drive to pull the Rangers into a 7-7 tie in the eighth, McKenna opened the bottom half with his first home run of the season, off John King. McKenna thrust his arm in the air after the ball landed in the front row of seats beyond a left-field wall that was moved back and raised before the season.
But the advantage lasted only briefly. Félix Bautista gave up a one-out single before Seager homered to give the Rangers their first lead.
Baltimore went up 4-0 in the second inning against right-hander Spencer Howard. After Jorge Mateo hit a two-out RBI single, Mullins doubled in two runs and Trey Mancini doubled into the left-field corner.
Called up from Triple-A Round Rock to make his second career start, Howard gave up four runs and six hits over four innings.
“He did OK,” Woodward said. “Obviously that second inning kind of got away from him.”
After Texas loaded the bases in the fifth inning against starter Austin Voth, Keegan Akin gave up a sacrifice fly to Josh Smith. Marcus Semien then bounced a run-scoring single off third base and Seager lined an RBI single to center.
Garver led off the seventh with a homer off Akin to make 4-all. He became the seventh Rangers player on the team to reach double figures in home runs.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
The Rangers (37-42) haven't been at .500 since the end of May and are assured of having a losing record at the 81-game midpoint. Two stats stand out: Texas is 13-37 when scoring five runs or less and 4-16 in one-run games. “The guys are playing hard. They're fighting, they're grinding," Woodward said. “They're really frustrated in that locker room.”
TRAINER'S ROOM
Orioles: OF Austin Hays was not in the starting lineup because his right wrist was still sore after being hit by a pitch Monday. ... 1B Ryan Mountcastle did not start because of a “sinus issue,” according to manager Brandon Hyde. ... RHP Kyle Bradish (shoulder inflammation) will pitch in a simulated game “in the next couple of days,” Hyde said.
UP NEXT
Rangers: RHP Glenn Otto (4-4, 5.63 ERA) starts the series finale Wednesday night. He's 0-2 with a 15.00 ERA in two starts since coming off the COVID-19 list.
Orioles: RHP Spenser Watkins (1-1, 4.61) makes his first career appearance against Texas. It will be Watkins' 11th start of the season and sixth at home, where he's 0-0 with a 5.51 ERA.

Alvarez makes big throw, hits 25th homer, Astros top Royals
Yordan Alvarez threw out Hunter Dozier at the plate from just short of the warning track in left field to preserve a two-run, eighth-inning lead, then hit his 25th homer as the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 9-7 on Tuesday night.
The Astros also got homers from Jeremy Peña, Alex Bregman and Aledmys Díaz as they extended their winning streak to a major league-best eight games.
Houston trailed 4-3 entering the fifth inning before Peña homered off Zack Greinke (2-5) to tie it. Bregman’s two-run shot later in the fifth put the Astros ahead 6-4.
The eighth belonged to Alvarez.
Bryan Abreu’s bases-loaded walk of Michael A. Taylor got the Royals within two. Phil Maton took over and Nicky Lopez hit a deep flyball that Alvarez caught and fired on the fly to catcher Martin Maldonado, who tagged out Dozier for an inning-ending double play.
With two outs in the bottom of the eighth, Alvarez homered to left-center off Jackson Kowar to make it 9-6. Chants of “M-V-P” rained down on the slugger as he rounded the bases. His 25 homers are tied with Philadelphia’s Kyle Schwarber for second in the majors, four behind the Yankees’ Aaron Judge.
Luis Garcia (7-5) allowed eight hits and five runs in 6 1/3 innings for his fourth straight win. Rafael Montero allowed a run on a groundout in the ninth before striking out the next two batters for his sixth save.
Greinke tied a season high by allowing 10 hits with six runs in five innings in his first start against Houston since signing with the Royals in the offseason. The veteran spent 2 1/2 seasons with the Astros, going to the World Series in 2019 and last year.
The Astros played a video honoring Greinke’s time in Houston while he warmed up and capped it by playing John Anderson’s “Seminole Wind,” which was his warmup music. He received a warm ovation and waved to the crowd from the bullpen.
MJ Melendez hit a solo homer off Garcia in the second and Bobby Witt Jr. connected off him for a two-run shot in the third. It was the third home run of the series for Melendez, who went deep twice in the series opener on Monday.
Díaz hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Kowar.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Royals: LHP Daniel Lynch (left index finger blister) is scheduled to make his first rehabilitation start for Triple-A Omaha Wednesday.

Flawed genius Nick Kyrgios 'comfortable' with himself
Issued on:
Sydney (AFP) – Love him or hate him, the flawed genius that is Nick Kyrgios is one of the most polarising figures on the tennis circuit but he, at least, is "comfortable" with himself.
The enigmatic Australian stunned the tennis world as a 19-year-old in 2014 when he beat then world number one Rafael Nadal on his way to the Wimbledon quarter-finals.
But frequent tantrums and fines have overshadowed his undoubted talent and he has never achieved a better finish at a Grand Slam.
Eight years on, Kyrgios again finds himself in the last eight at Wimbledon and this time with a serious chance to realise his full potential.
Nadal has in the past described Kyrgios as "not a bad guy" despite his antics on court, saying he is a player of huge talent who could be fighting for the number one spot.
But Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas, Kyrgios's victim in a tempestuous third-round clash at the All England Club this year, said the Australian has an "evil side" and is a "bully".
Kyrgios, 27, laughed off those accusations and was on his best behaviour in his fourth-round win against US player Brandon Nakashima.
He will hope a looming court case in Australia involving a case of assault, reported this week, does not prove a distraction.
First steps
Tennis coach Andrew Bulley recalls a "small, chubby and energetic" Kyrgios who turned up at the National Sports Club in Lyneham, Canberra, as a four-year-old, keen to take lessons with his older brother and sister.
He was always better than his peers but "he wasn’t anything super special" until a growth spurt in his early teens meant Kyrgios developed into a tall player with an explosive serve now rated one of the best in the business.
While most children under Bulley's tutelage trained as they were told "Nick would always be experimenting, which you can see when he plays -- he has always got four or five options ready to go".
But there was also the bored look when things were too easy or too hard.
By 2013, at age 17, Kyrgios was the top-ranked junior and winner of the Australian Open boys’ singles title. The following year came his upset victory over Nadal.
Bulley notes the strong backing Kyrgios has from his Greek father Giorgos and mother Norlaila, a Malaysian, who urged discipline and application.
Norlaila was born into a royal family but renounced her title when she moved to Australia.
'Perfectionist'
Giorgos describes his 40th-ranked son as a "perfectionist" who is hard on himself.
"The only advice we can give him is to do the best he can. Win or lose, you can’t foresee the future. He knows that he has a good chance to play well against anyone as long as he stays strong."
Since his breakthrough in 2013 Kyrgios has been without a coach, once telling tennisnet.com he does not like to listen to advice.
Next up for Kyrgios at Wimbledon is Chilean Cristian Garin and then potentially a semi-final against Nadal and a possible final against Novak Djokovic.
Nadal has won six of his nine matches against the unpredictable Australian while Djokovic has lost both times he has played Kyrgios.
Kyrgios's chequered career includes fines imposed estimated at more than $550,000 for offences including lack of effort, a racquet-smashing outburst, spitting in the direction of fans and throwing a chair on court.
In an Instagram post earlier this year he talked about his mental health struggles, admitting suicidal thoughts, self-harm and drug abuse, referring to one of his "darkest periods" in 2019.
"If you look closely, on my right arm you can see my self-harm. I was having suicidal thoughts and was literally struggling to get out of bed, let alone play in front of millions," he said, showing a photo from the Australian Open that year.
But he also said he was proud to have "completely turned myself around".
In a more recent appraisal he told ABC News: "I look at myself in the mirror every day and I know that I'm comfortable in my own skin.
"I don't really care if I don't win a Grand Slam (singles title) one day, or I don't want to be like Roger Federer or something like that.
"But now, I honestly don't care how I'm perceived because I know deep down, and the people around me know, that I'm a caring person. I'm always myself."

Sharna Burgess is in "newborn bliss" while recovering after giving birth. The Dancing With the Stars pro took to Instagram on Tuesday to talk about her post-partum recovery and reveal that she had to undergo a C-section.
Burgess shared a mirror selfie video to her Instagram story on Tuesday -- one week after she and Brian Austin Green welcomed their first child, son Zane, on June 28.
"One week post partum," she wrote on the image. "Recovery is slow but steady."
She followed that post up with a series of videos updating fans on her health and the experience of giving birth.
"I am in newborn bliss and I have so much to share, but I am taking my time and being in my moment," Burgess explained.
"I ended up having to have a C-section," the dancer continued, promising to explain the full story later, and assuring fans that the story is "not traumatic."
"It just ended up being the safest and best option for mom and baby," she shared.
Burgess also said that she's glad she only had a general "birth plan" because of how things turned out, sharing, "Had I gone on with a plan of what I thought it was going to be, it would have shaken me when it changed... [so] I'm super grateful for my approach to everything."
Zane is Burgess’ first child, but fifth for Green. The 48-year-old actor has four other sons -- three with his ex-wife, Megan Fox, and one with actress Vanessa Marcil.
Burgess and Green began dating in 2020 and announced the pregnancy on Instagram in February, just a week after Green’s divorce from Fox was finalized.

With greater threat comes greater responsibility. As 2022 is a year of heightened cyber risk, it's vital to ensure that your organization takes the necessary steps to protect itself.
In response to a heightened cyber threat, an organization should have a plan in place on how to proactively prepare and react when the situation arises.
What Factors Change the Cyber Risk for an Organization?
An organization's cyber risk status may change based on a few factors. These include:
- Geopolitical tensions such as the Ukraine-Russia war could directly impact organizations using Russian vendors
- A zero-day vulnerability that is actively exploited in the wild
- How interconnected they are with other businesses and organizations that have been affected by a vulnerability
- Hacktivism related to a specific event, sector or even country
All of the above reasons may lead to a change in cyber risk. Therefore, a balancing act between risk and your organization's defenses is essential. These factors leading to increased risk may require additional controls such as changed priorities in logging and monitoring, temporary changes to WAF and DDoS configurations, etc.
Now What...
To increase cyber alertness across its infrastructure, an organization's ability lies in doing its homework in these two areas:
- Keeping a minimal attack surface ensures your organization's attack surface is in check, offering little opportunity to attackers.
- Reducing the impact of an attack ensures your organization can cut the effectiveness of an attack during an incident.
Security Checklist
The most crucial part of understanding is that cybersecurity fundamentals must not be ignored across systems, devices and networks.
Phishing Response
Employees should be well-trained on how to identify and report phishing attacks. They should also know what to do if they think they may have fallen victim to one.
Check Your Internet Footprint
In the current threat landscape, checking your organization's internet footprint is more important than ever. This means understanding what information is publicly available about your organization online and ensuring that this information is accurate and up-to-date.
Ensure that remote working arrangements are secure and that employees understand their responsibilities to protect devices and underlying sensitive information.
Patching
- Check your system patching cycle and ensure you are up to date on desktops, laptops and mobile devices.
- Utilize automatic updates where possible; this makes your job more accessible and ensures these are applied as soon as released by vendors.
- Ensure that firmware on devices such as routers and firewalls is updated.
- Run a patch audit against internet-facing devices to ensure these are not vulnerable. During COVID, many critical and high-risk issues were exploited on the internet-facing security devices (VPNs, gateways, firewalls).
P.S. Do not fall for the 'patch everything' advice; follow a risk-focused approach to patching.
Authentication and Access Controls
Regularly review user permissions and access controls to ensure they are up to date and appropriate. Ensure that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enforced and privileged accounts are reviewed.
"Regularly review user permissions and access controls to ensure they are up to date and appropriate"
Encourage staff via awareness, technical controls, and policies not to share passwords across corporate and non-corporate accounts.
Ensure that your organization's cybersecurity policies and procedures are up to date and well known by all employees.
Third-Party Access
When assessing the risks associated with third-party access to your organization's systems and data, you should consider:
- The sensitivity of the data involved
- The level of access required by the third party
- The security controls in place to protect the data
- The likelihood of a cyber-attack
- The consequences of a successful cyber-attack
To mitigate the third-party access risks, you should implement appropriate security controls after understanding the level of access provided and to whom. These could include access control security, data encryption, perimeter defenses and regular cloud security audits to know your weaknesses.
Defensive Readiness
Organizations should ensure that their defenses are up to date and effective. This includes having the latest security patches for systems and applications and ensuring that antivirus software is installed and working correctly.
Logging and Monitoring Capabilities
- Check that logging is enabled and working as expected on all systems and that appropriate logs are being sent securely to a central location. Ensure that logs are stored for six weeks, if not longer, after reviews.
- Review your monitoring capabilities and ensure you have visibility of all potential threats.
- Ensure you can quickly identify any anomalies in behavior or activity.
Review Backup Plans
Ensure that your backups are up to date and that you can easily retrieve them in a data loss. Reviewing your backups regularly will help you identify any potential issues in the backup and restore process and ensure that your data is adequately protected.
Do not forget to backup private keys, backup codes, access keys and other sensitive information, not just data.
Incident Plan
When a cybersecurity incident occurs, it can significantly impact your business. Having a robust incident response plan will help you minimize the damage and get your business back up and running quickly.
Not sure where to start? Use our checklist to make sure your organization is prepared for a heightened cyber threat:
- Assign responsibility for managing the incident response to a designated individual or team.
- Conduct a risk assessment to identify your organization's most critical assets and systems.
- Develop contingency plans for protecting and recovering your critical assets and systems.
- Create a communications plan for internal and external stakeholders.
Communicate
As a security team, you must have buy-in from the rest of the business. They are your audience; they must be your side to make your job easier at the end of the day. Communicate the potential risks and situational change across the estate. Ensure everyone in your organization knows how to spot a phishing email, and remind them how to report such messages. Advise them to forward suspicious emails to your IT team or security department so they can investigate. | https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/blogs/2022-checklist-heightened-cyber/ | 2022-07-06T04:23:33Z | https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/blogs/2022-checklist-heightened-cyber/ | false | 1 |

Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana collapsed onstage during a concert in Clarkston, Michigan, on Tuesday night (July 5th), and was receiving “serious medical attention.”
According to the Detroit News, the 74-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer was performing the song “Joy” (which he recorded with Chris Stapleton) at the Pine Knob Music Theatre when he suddenly stopped and fell to the stage. The lights then dimmed, at which time it was announced that Santana would not be returning to the stage.
The website ClickOnDetroit reported that the rock icon received “serious medical attention,” according to officials. Meanwhile local Fox reporter Roop Raj tweeted out a photo of the incident, writing, “Carlos Santana just passed out on stage at @PineKnobMusic. Medical personnel on stage. Crowd asked to pray for him because of a ‘serious medical’ issue.”
Raj later tweeted a video of Santana being helped off stage, writing, “Good news as we see #CarlosSantana wave as he’s being taken off stage.”
The guitarist’s eponymous band Santana is in the midst of their “Miraculous Supernatural Tour,” which launched on June 17th. Last year, the guitar legend underwent a heart procedure and canceled several Las Vegas dates that were set for December.
This is a developing story…

California voters keep beating back unfair, unequal health-care pay measures that arbitrarily attempt to rip off the public and make dialysis harder to find, time and time again at the ballot box. What makes the small, greedy union that keeps putting these measures up for a vote think that we are stupid and will be fooled the next time when we weren’t the last time?
Well, probably the answer to that is that the SEIU-UHW just figures that one of these days, if the union bosses keep at it, that we’ll simply get tired of saying no to their mean-spirited entreaties and that they’ll finally be able to slip one of their efforts by us.
So voters beware once again this November, because after the failure of statewide efforts, the union is now after the city of Los Angeles and a whole lot of other smaller Southern California cities with ballot measures aimed at fooling us and enriching them, all the while worsening health care for diabetics.
Here’s the way a coalition of other health care workers who opposed the latest skulduggery sees it: “The SEIU-UHW union has filed nine risky and inequitable ballot initiatives in nine Southern California cities aimed for the November 2022 ballot. The cities include Los Angeles, Downey, Inglewood, Long Beach, Monterey Park, Culver City, Baldwin Park, Duarte and Lynwood. The measures would set new, arbitrary pay requirements for some health care workers in some health care facilities in those nine cities while excluding the vast majority of other health care workers doing the same jobs. Health care workers are heroes, but these unequal pay measures are inequitable for workers, harmful and costly for patients and risky for our communities.”
In the Los Angeles case, the City Council there has foolishly backed the measure itself, even though it applies only to workers at private hospitals and dialysis clinics, and not at any public hospitals, urgent care centers, nursing homes or other medical facilities.
Here’s what we said two years ago, the last time the union tried a similar chicanery:
“Even though it seems everyone’s a public-health expert these days, California voters have no business — and presumably very little interest — in getting into the minutiae of health-clinic regulations in our state.
“Leave that to the experts, right? Or at least to lawmakers in Sacramento?
“Wrong, if you are a Golden State voter needing to decide on the propositions that will soon arrive on your vote-by-mail ballot.
“Just as you were forced to only two years ago with Proposition 8 in 2018, you are being asked with this year’s Proposition 23 to create, or decline to, new rules for dialysis clinics throughout California.”
Speaking of which — along with the city measures, the union will be back at us in November with a third stab at a statewide measure over-regulating and raising costs at dialysis clinics everywhere. “This measure is a despicable threat to patients and an abuse of the electoral system,” said DeWayne Cox, dialysis patient from Van Nuys. “This union leadership has no regard for dialysis patients like me who are already struggling to get the treatments we need to stay alive. They should be ashamed.”
And so they should be. But clearly they are not. The only way to protect California dialysis patients against this hideous onslaught against their health and pocketbooks is to keep fighting the good fight against these measures until the union finally gives up. Meanwhile, voter, beware. | https://www.ocregister.com/2022/07/05/beware-of-cynical-threats-to-dialysis-care/ | 2022-07-06T04:34:11Z | https://www.ocregister.com/2022/07/05/beware-of-cynical-threats-to-dialysis-care/ | true | 12 |
Whether it’s through stolen credentials, phishing attacks, or simply user errors, people continue to pose the greatest risk to cybersecurity. While behavioral attacks are nothing new, Verizon’s recently released Data Breach Investigations Report shows that it’s as bad as ever, with 82% of breaches in the report involving a human element.
On top of that, cybercriminals are getting even more creative with the emerging zero-click attack phenomenon, breaching sensitive data without any action by the end user. Such attacks can’t be addressed through traditional company security policies and trainings for users.
In this Help Net Security video, Keith Neilson, Technical Evangelist at CloudSphere, illustrates how the key to ensuring security in these vulnerable scenarios lies in cyber asset management, which ensures all cyber assets are accounted for, even when attacks are invisible to the user. | https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2022/07/06/cyber-asset-management-strategy-video/ | 2022-07-06T04:39:54Z | https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2022/07/06/cyber-asset-management-strategy-video/ | false | 1 |

BANGKOK (AP) — Sri Lanka is desperate for help with weathering its worst crisis in recent memory. Its schools are closed for lack of fuel to get kids and teachers to classrooms. Its effort to arrange a bailout from the International Monetary Fund has been hindered by the severity of its financial crisis, its prime minister says.
But it’s not the only economy that’s in serious trouble as prices of food, fuel and other staples have soared with the war in Ukraine. Alarm bells are ringing for many economies around the world, from Laos and Pakistan to Venezuela and Guinea.
Some 1.6 billion people in 94 countries face at least one dimension of the crisis in food, energy and financial systems, and about 1.2 billion of them live in “perfect-storm” countries, severely vulnerable to a cost-of-living crisis plus other longer-term strains, according to a report last month by the Global Crisis Response Group of the United Nations Secretary-General.
The exact causes for their woes vary, but all share rising risks from surging costs for food and fuel, driven higher by Russia's war on Ukraine, which hit just as disruptions to tourism and other business activity from the coronavirus pandemic were fading. As a result, the World Bank estimates that per capita incomes in developing economies will be 5% below pre-pandemic levels this year.
The economic strains are fueling protests in many countries, as meanwhile, short-term, higher interest borrowing to help finance pandemic relief packages has heaped more debt on countries already struggling to meet repayment obligations. More than half of the world’s poorest countries are in debt distress or at high risk of it, according to the U.N.
Some of the worst crises are in countries already devastated by corruption, civil war, coups or other calamities. They muddle along, but with an undue burden of suffering.
Here’s a look at a few of the economies that are in dire straits or at greatest risk.
AFGHANISTAN
Afghanistan has been reeling from a dire economic crisis since the Taliban took control as the U.S. and its NATO allies withdrew their forces last year. Foreign aid — long a mainstay — stopped practically overnight and governments piled on sanctions, halted bank transfers and paralyzed trade, refusing to recognize the Taliban government. The Biden administration froze $7 billion in Afghanistan's foreign currency reserves held in the United States. About half the country’s 39 million people face life-threatening levels of food insecurity and most civil servants, including doctors, nurses and teachers, have been unpaid for months. A recent earthquake killed more than 1,000 people, adding to those miseries.
ARGENTINA
About four of every 10 Argentines are poor and its central bank is running perilously low on foreign reserves as its currency weakens. Inflation is forecast to exceed 70% this year. Millions of Argentines survive largely thanks to soup kitchens and state welfare programs, many of which are funneled through politically powerful social movements linked to the ruling party. A recent deal with the IMF to restructure $44 billion in debt faces questions over concessions that critics say will hinder a recovery.
EGYPT
Egypt's inflation rate surged to almost 15% in April, causing privation especially for the nearly one-third of its 103 million people living in poverty. They were already suffering from an ambitious reform program that includes painful austerity measures like floating the national currency and slashing subsidies for fuel, water and electricity. The central bank raised interest rates to curb inflation and devalued the currency, adding to difficulties in repaying Egypt's sizable foreign debt. Egypt's net foreign reserves have fallen. Its neighbors Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have pledged $22 billion in deposits and direct investments as assistance.
LAOS
Tiny, landlocked Laos was one of the fastest growing economies until the pandemic hit. Its debt levels have surged and like Sri Lanka, it is in talks with creditors on how to repay billions of dollars worth of loans. That's an urgent issue given the country's weak government finances. Its foreign reserves are equal to less than two months of imports, the World Bank says. A 30% depreciation in the Lao currency, the kip, has worsened those woes. Rising prices and job losses due to the pandemic threaten to worsen poverty.
LEBANON
Lebanon shares with Sri Lanka a toxic combination of currency collapse, shortages, punishing levels of inflation and growing hunger, snaking queues for gas and a decimated middle class. It, too, endured a long civil war, its recovery hampered by government dysfunction and terror attacks.
Proposed taxes in late 2019 ignited longstanding anger against the ruling class and months of protests. The currency began to sink and Lebanon defaulted on paying back worth about $90 billion at the time, or 170% of GDP — one of the highest in the world. In June 2021, with the currency having lost nearly 90% of its value, the World Bank said the crisis ranked as one of the worst the world has seen in more than 150 years.
MYANMAR
The pandemic and political instability have buffeted Myanmar’s economy, especially after the army seized power in February 2021 from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. That brought Western sanctions targeting commercial holdings controlled by the army, which dominate the economy. The economy contracted by 18% last year and is forecast to barely grow in 2022. More than 700,000 people have fled or been forced from their homes by armed conflicts and political violence. The situation is so uncertain, a recent global economic update from the World Bank excluded forecasts for Myanmar for 2022-2024.
PAKISTAN
Like Sri Lanka, Pakistan has been in urgent talks with the IMF, hoping to revive a $6 billion bailout package that was put on hold after Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government was ousted in April. Soaring crude oil prices pushed up fuel prices which in turn raised other costs, pushing inflation to over 21%. A government minister's appeal to cut back on tea drinking to reduce the $600 million bill for imported tea angered many Pakistanis. Pakistan's currency, the rupee, has fallen about 30% against the U.S. dollar in the past year. To gain the IMF's support, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has raised fuel prices, abolished fuel subsidies and imposed a new, 10% “super tax" on major industries to help repair the country's tattered finances. As of late March, Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves had fallen to $13.5 billion, equivalent to just two months of imports. “Macroeconomic risks are strongly tilted to the downside," the World Bank warned in its latest assessment.
TURKEY
Worsening government finances and a growing trade and capital account deficit have compounded Turkey's troubles with high and rising debt, inflation — at over 60% —and high unemployment. The Central Bank resorted to using foreign reserves to fend off a currency crisis, after the beleaguered lira fell to all-time lows against the U.S. dollar euro in late 2021. Tax cuts and fuel subsidies to cushion the blow from inflation have weakened government finances. Families are struggling to buy food and other goods, while Turkey's foreign debt is about 54% of its GDP, an unsustainable level given the high level of government debt.
ZIMBABWE
Inflation in Zimbabwe has surged to more than 130%, raising fears the country could return to the hyperinflation of 2008 that reached 500 billion percent and heaping problems on its already fragile economy. Zimbabwe struggles to generate an adequate inflow of greenbacks needed for its largely dollarized local economy, which has been battered by years of de-industrialization, corruption, low investment, low exports and high debt. Inflation has left Zimbabweans distrustful of the currency, adding to demand for U.S. dollars. And many skip meals as they struggle to make ends meet.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Max Scherzer turned in a stellar performance for the New York Mets in his return from an oblique injury.
Perhaps more importantly for the NL East leaders, the ace right-hander felt good the entire time on a steamy Tuesday night in Cincinnati.
Scherzer struck out 11 while pitching six innings of two-hit ball, but New York lost 1-0 to the last-place Reds on Mike Moustakas' game-ending sacrifice fly.
Scherzer, who turns 38 in three weeks, had been sidelined by a strained oblique muscle on his left side. It was his first big league game since May 18.
“I felt great,” he said. “No issues whatsoever today. Felt strong all the way through. (The oblique) never tightened up on me, so that’s a good thing.”
Mets manager Buck Showalter took Scherzer out after 79 pitches — mostly fastballs and sliders — but the ace believed he could have gone deeper into the game.
“This is a good problem to have,” Scherzer said. “Buck is going to make the best decision for the ballclub and for my health and my long-term health, so I completely understand where he’s coming from. With that being said, I didn’t have any problems tonight. I felt good. I felt strong. I had nothing tighten up. I wanted to get to that 90, 95 pitch count.”
Tommy Pham led off the Cincinnati ninth with a double into the right-field corner against Seth Lugo (1-2). It was the Reds' fourth hit of the game.
Tyler Naquin was walked intentionally before Donovan Solano walked to load the bases. Moustakas’ deep fly ball to center drove in Pham with the game-winner.
“It is kind of how you want to draw it up when you’re coming up to win the game,” Moustakas said. “You just get a pitch to hit and don’t miss it.”
Reds rookie Nick Lodolo combined with four relievers on a six-hitter. Lodolo struck out eight and gave up just three hits in 4 2/3 innings in his return from a back injury.
It was Lodolo's first major league game since April 24.
“Lodolo — as good as he was — that lineup made him work,” Reds manager David Bell said. "He was really on a mission.”
Hunter Strickland (2-2) got three outs for the win.
“I’m so happy for the bullpen, they kept us right there,” Bell said.
“I know the players are frustrated to have that kind of outing, but I knew that their pitcher was going to be a challenge before the game,” Showalter said of Lodolo. “Watching a lot of stuff on him and talking to people, we knew he was going to be a challenge for us tonight. I was hoping it wasn’t that much of a challenge as it ended up being.”
The Reds threatened in the eighth, putting runners on second and third with one out. But Tommy Hunter got Jonathan India to pop out and Brandon Drury to fly out to right.
DELAYED
There was a 53-minute weather delay before the start of the game. But it never rained.
NICE CATCH
Pham prevented a potential extra-base hit in the Mets ninth when he went into the left-field corner to snag a deep fly off the bat of Jeff McNeil.
TRAINERS ROOM
Reds: RHP Tony Santillan (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list. ... RF Tyler Naquin (strained quadriceps) was back in the lineup for the first time since May 31.
MOVES
The Reds claimed right-hander Ian Gibaut off waivers from the Dodgers. They also optioned utilityman Max Schrock and catcher Mark Kolozsvary to Triple-A Louisville. Catcher Chris Okey was designated for assignment. ... To make room on the roster for Scherzer, the Mets designated lefty Chasen Shreve for assignment.
UP NEXT
Right-hander Graham Ashcraft (4-2, 4.53 ERA) starts for the Reds against Mets lefty David Peterson (5-1, 3.24 ERA). Ashcraft was tagged for seven runs and seven hits in 2 1/3 innings in a 15-7 loss to the Cubs last week. Peterson is coming off the paternity list to start for New York.

Cookie Run: Kingdom players can expect to see a lot of new additions to the game on July 7, 2022, courtesy of the Chapter III update.
While the Ascension feature has generated a lot of controversy since the update sneak peek was released, there are a lot of things the community is looking forward to.
Here's a look at some of the most highly anticipated features coming to the game this week.
Magic Candies, new events and other exciting features coming to Cookie Run: Kingdom on July 7
1) Financier Cookie
Excitement in the Cookie Run: Kingdom community peaks when players get a sneak peek at a new character's signature ability.
Financier Cookie, the new Epic Defense character, will reportedly have the ability to significantly buff the Cookie with the highest ATK every time her skill is used (if Clotted Cream is not part of the team).
With every use of her "Paladin Protection" ability, Financier Cookie will provide ATK and DMG resistance, an HP shield and heal some of the damage the Cookie she is protecting takes. She will also deal AoE damage to nearby enemies.
Her DMG rating is a major factor that will determine how well she fares against Cookie Run: Kingdom heavyweights like Hollyberry and Strawberry Crepe.
2) Magic Candies
Magic Candies are a popular feature in CRK's parent game Ovenbreak. The feature will finally be brought over to Cookie Run: Kingdom in the upcoming update.
Magic Candies are basically upgrades that players can apply to their Cookies. They provide Cookies with new abilities and upgrade their existing skills.
In the July 7 update, Magic Candies will be released for Espresso, Vampire and Purple Yam Cookie.
Fans of single-hit damage king Vampire Cookie are particularly excited for his potential re-entry into the Cookie Run: Kingdom meta with an upgraded Magic Candy version.
3) World Exploration's Master Mode
Players who love the Dark Mode in the World Exploration timeline are very excited about the addition of the new Master Mode to the main PvE aspect.
Here, players will face the same stages as the default World Exploration time but at a higher difficulty level. However, they must first clear the stages they want to play in both Story and Dark Mode to play the same in Master Mode.
The advantage of clearing stages in Master Mode is the same as clearing them in Dark Mode. Players get exponentially more rewards upon clearing a stage than they would in Standard story mode. This is beneficial when players are grinding the same level over and over again for a particular resource.
4) Cookie Odyssey Chapter III
Cookie Odyssey has been one of the most loved storylines in Cookie Run: Kingdom. The third and, in all probability, last installment of the storyline will have to bear the weight of all the expectations players have from it.
Although speculation is running wild, players will just have to wait until July 7 to see how things turn out for the Glorious Creme Republic.
5) Several new events and decorations
In classic Cookie Run: Kingdom fashion, the developers have added two new levels to Today's Bounties. They have also added several new decors for the Republic's Azure Streets.
The Republic's Azure Streets, added in the last update, contains the Cookie Decor of Clotted Cream Cookie. The addition of the new decor is good news for free-to-play players who have just gotten their hands on Clotted Cream. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/5-reasons-excited-next-cookie-run-kingdom-update | 2022-07-06T04:57:01Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/5-reasons-excited-next-cookie-run-kingdom-update | true | 1 |
Manager Scott Servais likes the way his Seattle Mariners are playing.
However, San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin is not happy with his club.
“This is a stretch where we have not played very well,” Melvin said Monday after his Padres were routed 8-2 by the Mariners in the opener of a two-game series in San Diego.
“It’s sloppy,” Melvin continued. “We addressed it today. The effort and defense has not been there the last few games. Those have been strengths for us.”
The Padres are 2-7 over the last nine games, 1-4 in their past five home games and are just 21-17 at home this season. Since the first of June, the Padres are 8-7 at home while hitting .227. They are hitting .271 on the road since June 1.
Meanwhile, the Mariners are 6-1 over their past seven games and 11-3 over their past 14 games going into a Tuesday game against the Padres. And the momentum favors the visitors.
The Mariners’ Logan Gilbert (9-3, 2.66 ERA) will be matched against the Padres’ Mike Clevinger (2-0, 2.79) in a pairing of right-handers in the finale of the brief series.
“I really like the way we’ve been playing,” Servais said. “We’re getting excellent pitching along with clutch hitting from guys who have stepped it up with some other guys out. And the defense has remained consistent.”
The Mariners’ staff ERA of 2.81 is the lowest in the major leagues over the past 37 games. One of the leaders of that surge is the 25-year-old Gilbert, who will be starting against the Padres for the first time in his career.
Seattle’s first-round pick (14th overall) in the 2018 draft will be making his 17th start of the season. He ranks seventh in the American League in ERA and 14th in the major leagues.
Gilbert has a 1.120 WHIP and held opponents to a .227 batting average. He has a 5-1 record with a 2.55 ERA in nine road starts this season.
Gilbert was 4-1 in June with a 3.28 ERA while averaging just under six innings over six starts.
Clevinger will be making his seventh start of the season and his third since returning from the COVID-19 injured list on June 17. In his last outing, Clevinger shut out the Arizona Diamondbacks over six innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out six on Wednesday.
Clevinger, who returned this season after a second Tommy John surgery, has pitched five innings or more just twice this season, although Melvin said he’s no longer on a pitch count.
Clevinger has a 1.103 WHIP and a .200 opponents’ batting average this season. He’s faced the Mariners only once before in his career, when he gave up four runs on eight hits and a walk with five strikeouts over a six-inning start in 2018.

Entering his first season at the helm of the Arkansas State volleyball program, head coach Brian Gerwig announced the 2022 schedule Tuesday.
A-State opens the season at home for the third year in a row, hosting Saint Louis, Mississippi Valley State and former Sun Belt foe Little Rock in its annual home tournament (Aug. 26-27) inside First National Bank Arena. In total, 11 home matches dot the calendar for Gerwig’s first season.
The Red Wolves then finish pre-conference play with three consecutive road tournaments, starting Sept. 2-3 with the Skyhawk Invitational hosted by UT Martin. There, A-State will tangle with the host Skyhawks as well as Western Illinois and Alabama A&M.
A trip to Muncie, Ind., is next on the docket (Sept. 9-10), where the Scarlet and Black will face Ball State, Green Bay and Alabama. The host Cardinals finished the 2021 season 30-4 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
For the final trio of non-conference matches, A-State travels to Nacogdoches, Texas, for a tournament hosted by Stephen F. Austin (Sept. 16-17). In addition to a match with the host Lady Jacks, the Red Wolves will also face Eastern Washington and new Division-I addition Texas A&M-Commerce.
A-State then returns home for the start of Sun Belt Conference play, opening with a pair of contests versus Georgia Southern (Sept. 23-24). The Red Wolves wrap up the busy month of September with two matches at Louisiana (Sept. 29-30).
A four-match home stand against 2021 league champion South Alabama (Oct. 6-7) and NIVC participant Troy (Oct. 14-15) begin October, followed by a four-match road swing. The road trip begins at first-year conference mate Southern Miss (Oct. 21-22), then a pair of matches at Texas State (Oct. 28-29).
The Red Wolves return home for their final two home bouts, hosting ULM (Nov. 4-5) before traveling to Sun Belt newcomer Marshall to conclude the regular season (Nov. 10-11).
The 2022 Sun Belt Conference Championship begins Nov. 16 in Foley, Ala., with the final set for Sunday, Nov. 20.
Season tickets start at $50 for general admission or $100 for courtside seats. Those interested in volleyball season tickets can log in to their ticket account or call the A-State Box Office at 870-972-2781. The deadline to renew season tickets is August 15. | https://www.jonesborosun.com/sports/volleyball-slate-set-for-inaugural-season-of-gerwig-era/article_c198ed0f-3041-5f31-877a-48c59ae63bd7.html | 2022-07-06T05:04:16Z | https://www.jonesborosun.com/sports/volleyball-slate-set-for-inaugural-season-of-gerwig-era/article_c198ed0f-3041-5f31-877a-48c59ae63bd7.html | false | 3 |
TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares advanced Monday across the board as buying set in after the lull of a U.S. national holiday.
Analysts said the optimism may be driven by expectations the U.S. may decide to cut Chinese tariffs, a welcome move that would also help tame inflation.
China’s Commerce Ministry said Tuesday that Vice Premier Liu He spoke with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about coordinating economic policy between the two biggest economies and maintaining the stability of supply chains.
In a statement, it also said the Chinese side “expressed its concern over issues such as the removal of additional tariffs and sanctions imposed by the United States on China and fair treatment of Chinese companies.” The two sides agreed to continue their discussions, it said.
Investors also have been encouraged by the lifting of restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic across the region, including in Japan, which had been booming with tourists from abroad ahead of the pandemic.
“The quiet economic calendar yesterday brings sentiments to focus on the single relief headline of a potential US tariff-easing decision, which could run the risks of a sharp paring back in speculative bullish bets in the event of any inaction,” in taming inflation,” Yeap Jun Rong, a market strategist at IG in Singapore, said in a commentary.
But risks remain because of inflation and slowing economic activity in some countries. A resurgence in COVID-19 infections in Europe, the U.S. and parts of Asia is also looming, bringing the threat of a reversion to pandemic precautions.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 added nearly 1.0% in morning trading to 26,404.90. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.3% to 6,632.00. South Korea’s Kospi jumped 1.8% to 2,342.24. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 0.8% to 21,997.04, while the Shanghai Composite inched up 0.1% to 3,409.95.
Market players are also closely watching for an interest rate decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia. It is expected to raise its key rate by 50 basis-points. Minutes of the latest policy meeting of the Federal Reserve are also due out on Wednesday and could bring hints on future policy.
Global investors have been worried about surging inflation and the possibility that higher interest rates could bring on a recession in some economies. U.S. trading was closed Monday for Independence Day.
The futures for the Dow industrials and the S&P 500 were both up 0.4% early Tuesday.
Shares ended last week with a rally, with the S&P 500 surging 1.1%. The Dow gained 1% and the Nasdaq rose 0.9%. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies gained 1.2%.
In the first half of this year, the S&P 500 had its worst performance since the first six months in 1970. It’s now down 20.2% from the peak it set at the beginning of this year.
The risk of a recession is simmering as the U.S. Federal Reserve aggressively hikes interest rates. The Fed is raising rates to purposefully slow economic growth to help cool inflation, but could potentially go too far and bring on a recession.
In Germany, Chancellor Olaf Scholz gathered top employer and labor union representatives at his Berlin office Monday to seek ways of addressing the impact of rising prices while preventing a spiral of inflation in Europe’s biggest economy.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude surged $1.87 to $110.30 a barrel. It gained $2.67 on Friday to $108.43 a barrel. Trading was closed Monday. Brent crude, the international standard, lost 3 cents to $113.47 a barrel.
In currency trading, the U.S. dollar edged up to 136.15 Japanese yen from 135.69 yen. The euro cost $1.0434, up from $1.0423.

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration issued an administrative stay Tuesday on the order it issued last month for vaping company Juul to pull its electronic cigarettes from the market.
The agency said on Twitter that the stay temporarily suspends the marketing denial order while it conducts further review, but does not rescind it.
The FDA issued the initial order banning Juul sales on June 23. A day later, a federal appeals court temporarily blocked the government ban.
The initial FDA action was part of a sweeping effort by the agency to bring scientific scrutiny to the multibillion-dollar vaping industry after years of regulatory delays.
To stay on the market, companies must show that their e-cigarettes benefit public health. In practice, that means proving that adult smokers who use them are likely to quit or reduce their smoking, while teens are unlikely to get hooked on them.
The FDA originally said Juul's application left regulators with significant questions and didn't include enough information to evaluate any potential health risks. Juul said it submitted enough information and data to address all issues raised.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted Juul's request for a hold while the court reviews the case.
On Tuesday, the FDA said it has determined "there are scientific issues unique to the Juul application that warrant additional review."
Still, it said, the stay and the review do not "constitute authorization to market, sell or ship Juul products."

Post-Roe, states struggle with conflicting abortion bans
BOISE, Idaho — (AP) — In Arizona, Republicans are fighting among themselves over whether a 121-year-old anti-abortion law from the pre-statehood Wild West days, when Arizona was still a frontier mining territory, should be enforced over a 2022 version.
In Idaho, meanwhile, it is not clear whether a pair of laws from the early 1970s making it a felony to “knowingly aid” in an abortion or to publish information about how to induce one will be enforced alongside the state’s newer, near-total ban.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade has advocates, prosecutors and residents of red states facing a legal morass created by decades of often conflicting anti-abortion legislation.
Politicians and state government attorneys are trying to sort out which laws and which provisions are in force. And abortion rights advocates who are going to court to protect the right to terminate a pregnancy are finding themselves doing battle on multiple fronts.
Lawyers in Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden’s office are going through all the state’s abortion statutes with a fine-tooth comb, said Wasden spokesman Scott Graf.
“Following last week’s decision, part of our subsequent work is to now review Idaho’s existing abortion-related laws and examine them through a post-Roe legal lens,” Graf said. “That work has commenced and will continue in the weeks ahead.”
On the abortion rights side, Hillary Schneller, senior staff attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, said Louisiana lawmakers had passed three “trigger” bans designed to go into effect in the event Roe was overturned.
When the Supreme Court decision came down, "state officials issued conflicting statements about those bans,” Schneller said. “We challenged all of them on vagueness grounds to try to get some clarity about what the status of the law is in Louisiana.”
Jennifer Sandman, a senior attorney for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said the confusing and “very rapidly shifting landscape both legally and operationally” is putting more stress on abortion providers.
“I think multiple health care providers across the country are figuring out how to navigate that moment,” Sandman said.
In West Virginia, the American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit challenging an abortion ban that was put on the books in 1882. The organization says the law conflicts with newer ones and so should be void.
In Wisconsin, Attorney General Josh Kaul filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging a 173-year-old abortion ban, arguing that modern generations never consented to it. The 1849 law prohibits abortion in every instance except to save the pregnant person’s life — conflicting with Wisconsin laws from the mid-1980s that ban the procedure after a fetus reaches the point that it could survive outside the womb with medical intervention.
Arizona GOP officials disagree over which abortion laws are enforceable. Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced Wednesday that a pre-statehood law banning all abortions is now enforceable, but Republican Gov. Doug Ducey has said a law he signed in March takes precedence over the 1901 ban.
When the Idaho Legislature passed a trigger law in 2020 that would automatically prohibit nearly all abortions 30 days after the fall of Roe, lawmakers took some steps to avoid conflicts by making it clear that the law would supersede other bans. Lawmakers put similar language in another ban passed earlier this year, saying the 2020 law would take precedence.
But they may have overlooked a few clauses in the decades-old statutes.
The 2020 trigger law says specifically that the person seeking the abortion can't be charged with a crime, instead focusing prosecution efforts on the abortion provider. That would seem to override a 1973 law that makes it a felony for a person to undergo an abortion, but it's not clear if another portion of the older law making it a felony to knowingly aid in an abortion could still be enforceable.
“It's hard to see how much of it survives, because of all the conflicts,” Twin Falls County prosecutor Grant Loebs said of the nearly three dozen anti-abortion laws on the books in Idaho.
It will be up to individual county prosecutors, at first, to decide how to proceed, said Loebs, who is also president of the Idaho Prosecuting Attorneys Association. From there, judges will figure it out.
Ultimately, he expects Idaho legislators will have a lot of fine-tuning to do in the years ahead.
“I think every state doing this is going to have the same problems,” Loebs said.
Planned Parenthood is suing over both of Idaho's newer laws. It has asked the Idaho Supreme Court to hear arguments in both cases on the same day in early August in hopes of getting a ruling before the trigger law takes effect.
Jared Keenan, Legal Director at American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, said there has been “hectic” activity in the post-Roe v. Wade world.
“That’s the nature of civil rights litigation,” Keenan said. "I think that the difference here is that it has thrown a lot of organizations and a lot of attorneys into this sort of manic scramble all at the same time, which is not so common.”

What better way to celebrate the long-weekend than with a bumper crop of new beauty buys? Long after you've nibbled your Lindt bunny, these will stick around making you feel good about yourself.
Luxury face creams, a world-first in tanning formulas and a reimagining of a classic concealer made it into our top launches this week
Loved by: Melanie Macleod, digital writer
"This cream-gel moisturiser has added a real touch of luxury to my skincare routine. It sinks in ultra quickly and feels refreshing, leaving a semi-matte finish (ideal for oily skin types, and my shine-prone forehead). It contains Champagne extract to gently exfoliate the skin, black truffle to brighten and kombucha to improve radiance, while prickly pear soothes irritation and rose quartz delivers radiance. It feels weightless but is busy plumping and hydrating the skin. Plus the bronze packaging looks very fancy and it has a pump to stop you having to put your fingers in, keeping the formula fresh.”
Vita Liberta Heavenly Elixir Self Tan, £34
Loved by: Catherine Fulwood, commercial projects manager
"With a super fair complexion, I am forever the first to volunteer to try a new tanning product. Enter Vita Liberata Heavenly Elixir Self Tan. I mean the name alone is enough to make me feel immediately better about myself. This calls itself the world's first slow-release tan; you still have to leave it on for the standard eight hours but the formula actually slowly releases the tanning agent over the next 72 hours. It definitely lasted longer than my standard tan and the smell after using was next to nothing. My haphazard application still left me with a few steaks but much better than my normal attempts. This is a tan I’m not going to relegate to the bathroom cupboard, in fact I’ve inspired myself to give it another shot tonight so I’m rocking a bank holiday glow!"
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer, £28
Loved by: Jemma Thompson, social media and design manager
"Back in 1996 Laura Mercier created her legendary Secret Camouflage , £30, designed to retouch the skin and leave it looking natural yet flawless and this duo compact found its way into MUA kits and makeup bags alike. Although it’s still is a firm favourite today, the brand decided to give the product a revamp with a new stick applicator. For fans of the OG, it’s still available, but for me, this is a welcome change. I love the effortless application this dual end wand allows plus the product is slightly creamier so far better to blend. One side features a matte cream texture designed to colour correct any dark spots and discolouration whilst the other works to brighten and uses pink and golden undertones to neutralise any under-eye darkness. The pigment is super-rich, so it covers my dark circles in seconds plus you don’t need to set with powder."
Olivia's Haven Irish Fireside Soy Candle, £27
Loved by: Hattie Sloggett, GTG columnist
"Is there a place that feels more like home than your grandparent's house? Even in memory, I can feel the cosy warm embrace of sitting by the fireside with my grandparents at their cottage in Southern Ireland. Which is probably why I am so obsessed with the candle fragrance Irish Fireside from Olivia's Haven. Olivia has managed to package one of my fondest memories and for that, I am eternally grateful and officially her number one fan. Each vegan-friendly, 100 per cent soy candle she creates comes in a beautiful matte white glass jar which means after you have enjoyed hours of her unique happy-place fragrances you can reuse them to house everything from makeup brushes to jewellery. Hoorah for no waste and great taste (in smells)."
Aroma Active Laboratories Sleep Salt Soak, £15 for 500g
Loved by: Melanie Macleod, digital writer
" Aroma Active Laboratories comes from the same lab as Aromatherapy Associates, at a much more accessible price point. The newly-launched sleep collection comprises of a Sleep Mist , £10, a Pulse Point Rollerball , £8, and Over Night Recovery Face Oil , £15, but these salts are the star of the show. One shake of these in my bath and I was out like a light at bedtime. They contain lavandin and valerian for relaxing, sleep-inducing properties and have a really noticeable lavender scent that lingers in the bathroom long after you’ve pulled the plug on your bath."
Dr Barbara Sturm The Good C Vitamin C Serum, £110 for 30ml
Loved by: Ophelia Froud, GTG contributor
"A-lister favourite Dr Sturm has combined three forms of vitamin C to create this super serum. There's oil-soluble vitamin C THD combined with stabilised vitamin C in glucosidic form blended with an extract from kakadu plum, a fruit potent with plant-based vitamin C. Together this potent trio claims to reduce uneven pigmentation , improve tone and creates anti-oxidative protection. And if that wasn’t enough the serum contains zinc for easier absorption. So does it get results? The first thing I noticed was it doesn’t have that stingy sensation that high percentage vitamin C serums have when you apply them first thing to a freshly cleansed face. This one has a milky, calming and silky smooth texture with zero sting factor packaged in a signature Sturm sleek bottle. It’s early days but as spring breaks through it feels like a lighter, fresher first serum for my skin. I’m a super-fan of Dr Sturm so if the ingredients and texture are anything to go by I am expecting great long-term results."
Whind Marrakech Light Illuminating Magic Oil, £60 for 30ml
Loved by: Melanie Macleod, digital writer
"New to UK shores, Whind is inspired by sun-soaked Morocco and aims to bring a burst of warmth to our beauty regimes. This subtly amber-scented oil absorbs quickly to nourish the skin and leave it looking luminous. It’s made from a blend of argan, olive, jojoba and almond oils to moisturise the skin and make it look plump. The gold-topped bottle and rust coloured packaging is luxe too and looks like something Princess Jasmine would have on her dressing table and I certainly feel like royalty when I used it; pampered, precious and glowing."
Vitality CBD Infused Bath Salts, £12.99
Loved by: Hattie Sloggett, GTG columnist
"How do you make a relaxing bath more relaxing? You add CBD of course. Or at least you get yourself a jar of the delicious rose bath salts from Vitality CBD who have infused them for you. Honestly, nothing quite beats chucking a handful of these muscle-soothing salts in the water, smelling the fresh rose aroma filling the room, lighting a candle and soaking in the tub for as long as you can keep that door shut. Kick back, unwind and indulge in the relaxing, baby pink bathwater that looks as good as it feels."

Dr.Jart+™ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Re.pair Cream , £36 for 50ml
Loved by: Jemma Thompson, social media and design manager
"You've probably seen the Dr.Jart+ Colour Correcting Treatment *everywhere* on TikTok but that’s not the only product from the brand that has won the hearts of beauty fans. In fact, before their viral stardom the Korean skincare brand had been smashing beauty balls out the park since 2005 and everything in this Cicapair range is a testament to that. I rarely find a day/night cream that feels like it’s worked wonders in just a few hours, but this certainly does. My skin just soaks up the silky-smooth textured cream and stays hydrated and calm throughout the day. Formulated with the reparative power of cica AKA Tiger Grass, the range is designed to repair your skin's barrier and ward off irritated, tight, stressed, or reddened skin and is particularly great for those with sensitive skin."
This Works Stress Check Hair Shield, £20.25 for 80ml
Loved by: Marie-Louise Pumfrey, GTG contributor
"I have never come across a hair mist before so was curious to try this. It's vegan and paraben-free and invigorates in an instant leaving your locks smelling five stars, as if you’ve just had a luxurious spa treatment. It's made with 70 per cent alcohol and nourishing essential oils such as ylang-ylang, neroli and patchouli plus vitamin B2. It’s a handy little spray which is now my favourite desk accessory, especially when I hit the afternoon slump and need a pick-me alternative to coffee and cake."
Emma Lewisham Skinshield Daily Face Antioxidant Protect and Repair SPF30, £32 for 100ml
Loved by: Melanie Macleod, digital writer
"Another skincare brand that’s just landed in the UK is New Zealand name Emma Lewisham. Her formulas are naturally-derived and the packaging is made from 100 per cent recycled plastic. What’s inside the tube is equally impressive. It’s a mineral sunscreen that combines SPF30 (UVA and UVB protection) with hyaluronic acid , prickly pear and kakadu plum to support the skin’s elasticity and brighten it all the while providing sun protection, now that the sun has got its hat on again. It feels fairly thick when you apply it but it soon sinks in and is non-greasy making it a good base for makeup. I used to dread applying my SPF to my face (I know, very bad, almost as bad as Gwyneth Paltrow’s SPF crimes this week) but this makes it a joy and a step I never miss.”
Maya Nije Tobak Eau de Parfum, £90 for 50ml
Loved by: Hattie Sloggett, GTG columnist
"Inspired by creator Maya Njie's grandfather and his tobacco pipe, this memory-evoking familiar fragrance transports you to a place of comfort and aged wisdom. The scent is sweet, deep and layered, not to be mistaken for a heavy smoke-filled speak-easy, but to that of times gone by. With hints of cinnamon, vetiver, musk and tonka this super sultry eau du parfum wraps tight around, leaving you feeling sexy yet cosy, like wearing silk lingerie next to an open fire. For those who prefer a lighter more floral fragrance, look to the brand's other bottles, because this is only for those who have the confidence to wear such a powerful scent and not have the fragrance wear them. This is for the bold and the beautiful."
Diego Dalla Palma Green Ballet Eyeliner, £14.50
Loved by: Melanie Macleod, digital writer
"I've been a strictly black eyeliner girl for as long as I can remember, but this emerald green liner has swayed me away from jet black. It's ever so slightly metallic and makes my blue eyes pop – I can only imagine what it'd do to green eyes. Dreamy. I normally use the black version of this liquid liner and this green one is just as easy to apply, giving deep colour pay off in just one stroke. If you fancy a change from standard black, give this a whirl."

One of Rian Johnson's Best Movies Gets a New Streaming Home Ahead of Knives Out 2
This fall, all eyes will be on Netflix as the streaming service releases The Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the highly anticipated sequel to Rian Johsnon's Knives Out. The 2019 was a critical darling and a surprising smash hit at the box office, causing Netflix to pay a small fortune to get the filmmaker for a couple of sequels. Ahead of The Glass Onion, movie fans will likely be going back through Johnson's filmography to watch or rewatch his previous works, and one of those films just popped up on a new streaming service.
Looper, a 2012 sci-fi thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, remains one of Johnson's best movies (even though they're all rather good).

NEW YORK, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Novartis AG ("Novartis" or the "Company") (NYSE: NVS). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether Novartis and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
On May 5, 2022, Novartis "announced a temporary, voluntary suspension of production at its radioligand therapy production sites in Ivrea, Italy and Millburn, New Jersey." The production halt was to "address potential quality issues identified in its manufacturing process." On this news, Novartis's American Depositary Receipt ("ADR") price fell $2.06, or 2.3%, to close at $86.21 per ADR on May 5, 2022. Then, on May 31, 2022, STAT News published an article entitled "Documents show problems at Novartis facility where cancer drug production was halted." The article reported that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had cited deficiencies at the Company's New Jersey facility following an inspection in late 2021, including a "concern that Novartis failed to notify customers about batches of Lutathera . . . that were distributed despite failing to meet quality specifications."
On this news, Novartis's ADR price fell $1.82 per ADR, or 1.99%, over the following two trading days, closing at $89.64 per ADR on June 1, 2022.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Paris is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation.

(The Hill) — A new omicron subvariant known as BA.5 now comprises a majority of U.S. COVID-19 cases, according to data released Tuesday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The data is a sign of the rise of the highly transmissible subvariant, which has prompted concern about a new increase in cases.
BA.5, along with a related subvariant known as BA.4, has mutations that have shown an increased ability to evade the protection from vaccines and previous infection.
Vaccines still offer important protection, especially against severe disease and hospitalization, and experts say the rise of the new subvariants makes it even more important that people get their booster shots if they have not already.
BA.5 now makes up 53.6 percent of U.S. cases, according to the CDC, and BA.4 makes up another 16.5 percent, putting the two together at around 70 percent of infections.
“Omicron subvariants BA.4 & BA.5 are even more mutated than the original Omicron, which means that our immune systems are having a harder time recognizing these new subvariants, regardless of whether we’ve previously been vaccinated or infected,” tweeted Celine Gounder, an infectious disease expert at New York University. “We are also seeing early hints that Omicron subvariants BA.4 & BA.5 may be more virulent (causing more severe disease) than the original Omicron.”
The Food and Drug Administration last week advised vaccine makers to target the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants in their updated vaccines that they are preparing for this fall.
Gounder, though, stressed that people should not wait for the updated vaccines to be available to get a booster shot.
“The updated vaccines won’t be available until October at the earliest,” she wrote. “That’s 4+ months away. That’s a big window of risk.”
Only about half of adults who received the initial two shots have received their booster, according to the CDC, leaving them more vulnerable to the new subvariants. And people 50 and older are encouraged to get a second booster shot as well.
While COVID-19 hospitalizations are still relatively low compared to other points in the pandemic, they are starting to climb, and have reached more than 30,000, according to a New York Times tracker. | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/new-omicron-subvariant-ba-5-now-a-majority-of-us-covid-19-cases/ | 2022-07-06T05:21:26Z | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/new-omicron-subvariant-ba-5-now-a-majority-of-us-covid-19-cases/ | true | 28 |
History prize gains nearly $1m funding
A long-running history prize will get nearly $1 million in funding, giving more high school students an opportunity to tour key wartime battlefields.
Education Minister Jason Clare says the federal government will invest $910,000 to fund the Simpson Prize for the next four years.
The commitment is in recognition of the value of encouraging history education in schools.
Former education minister Stuart Robert agreed to the funding, which was confirmed by the new minister to continue bipartisan support for the prize, which was established in 1998.
Students in years 9 and 10 are eligible for the prize, which recognises an outstanding essay on a question about the contribution of Australians during World War I.
Winners from each state and territory take part in a three-day history program in Canberra and an overseas or domestic study tour.
Past recipients have travelled to Gallipoli and the Western Front in Belgium and France.
The 2022 winners were rewarded for their essays on opportunities for women, nurses at Gallipoli, the impacts of shell shock and the spread of the flu.
Mr Clare presented the awards to prizewinners in Canberra on Wednesday.
"The Simpson Prize helps ensure that we don't just remember, but that we learn and there's so much to learn," the minister said.
"The (First World) War lasted for four years, but its impact has ricocheted like a pinball throughout time ever since ... the strains of the war divided us here at home and changed us forever."

PARIS, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mnemo Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing transformational immunotherapies, today announced a publication in Nature Communications demonstrating that the histone lysine methyltransferase enzyme Suv39h1 plays not only a key role in T cell persistence, but also in T cell activation and exhaustion. This research was conducted at Institut Curie between the lab of Sebastian Amigorena, Ph.D., CNRS research director, head of the Immune Responses and Cancer Team (Immunity and Cancer Unit – Institut Curie/Inserm) and scientific co-founder of Mnemo, and the lab of Eliane Piaggio, Ph.D., Inserm research director and head of the Translational Immunotherapy Team (Immunity and Cancer Unit, Institut Curie/Inserm).
"T cell exhaustion and lack of persistence are two key challenges that hinder effective and durable immunotherapy treatments for tumors," said Mnemo Chief Executive Officer, Robert LaCaze. "Through Suv39h1 inactivation, Mnemo aims to create therapies with increased durability and activity."
Previous research, exclusively licensed to Mnemo from the lab of Dr. Amigorena, demonstrated that Suv39h1 is a key enzyme involved in the epigenetic regulation of immune cell memory, and that deletion of Suv39h1 results in increased immune cell memory and more durable therapeutic responses. The research demonstrated in the Nature publication goes on to show that this enzyme is a key factor in regulating T cell exhaustion.
"As is known, the potency of current treatments such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (i.e. anti-PD-1) is limited by repeated stimulation of T cells in a tumor rich environment, resulting in T cell exhaustion," said Dr. Amigorena. "The current study showcases that Suv39h1 acts as an epigenetic checkpoint inhibitor that, when coupled with anti-PD-1 treatment, results in increased T cell activity and decreased T cell exhaustion."
Key takeaways from the study include:
- Suv39h1 KO CD8+ T cells are more responsive to T-cell receptor (TCR) activation and become highly cytolytic following PD-1 blockade, resulting in increased tumor killing potency.
- Deletion of Suv39h1 resulted in higher CD8+ T cell tumor infiltration when coupled with anti-PD-1 treatment.
- CD8+ T cells in Suv39h1 KO mice treated with anti-PD-1 displayed the highest level of a protease (GZMb) responsible for T cell induced apoptosis of tumor cells, despite displaying elevated levels of biomarkers associated with exhaustion.
- Suv39h1 deletion resulted in increased chromatin accessibility in regions responsible for immune cell signaling and cytotoxicity during anti-PD-1 treatment, compared to WT with anti-PD-1 treatment.
- Inhibition of Suv39h1 via small molecules mimicked Suv39h1 deletion in mouse models, reinforcing that this enzyme is playing a direct role in T cell activity.
"Limited potency, durability, and cancer-specific targets impede the efficacy of current immunotherapies, leading to off-target side effects and patient relapse," said Mnemo Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Alain Maiore. "Alongside our EnfiniT Discovery Engine that identifies novel cancer targets, this research demonstrates Mnemo's commitment to addressing multiple bottlenecks in the efficacy of immunotherapy, as well as bringing solutions to patients."

'We revolutionised the system in a manner so that the chances of leakage will be much lower than it was in the beginning.'
"Some of the recent measures brought in the GST regime early this year, such as making returns sequential and restricting fake input tax credit, would start showing impact now," Vivek Johri, chairman, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, tells Shrimi Choudhary/Business Standard.
GST is five. How has the journey been so far?
We have come a long way... First two years were challenging as revenue productivity fell below the expectations.
There were factors contributing to the complexities of the new regime.
Compliances were poor due to procedural burden and glitches at the GST network (GSTN) were also adding to the woes.
Moreover, the threshold for full exemption from GST was low. This was making small taxpayers comply with all requirements.
Besides, the narrative about the GST rate structure being complex and inversion were adding up to the complexities.
We tackled most of them by introducing the concept of e-invoicing, quarterly return filing and monthly payment of taxes.
We revolutionised the system in a manner so that the chances of leakage will be much lower than it was in the beginning.
How do you mitigate the revenue leakage?
We tried to strike a balance between ease of compliance and enforcement actions.
In November 2020, we started a drive, particularly to identify these taxpayers, by using data analytics as well as identifying risk parameters and we suspended several registrations.
We further tightened the regime by making the return filing sequential.
We said you cannot file GSTR 3B (return showing monthly summary of transactions) if you have not filed GSTR1 (return showing sales).
When we started the drive, we detected a large number of dealers, who were trying to misuse the input tax credit scheme through bogus invoices.
We had to revamp our strategy to deal with that. But at the same time, we also tried to simplify the return filing process.
We tried to rationalise the late payment fee so that it is not burdensome on taxpayers.
Besides, there are administrative measures we have taken for better compliance, such as encouraging non-filers and those who have stopped filing.
Through our data analytics, we would be able to detect cases where the supplier (seller of goods or service) has not uploaded certain invoices or uploaded invoices but not paid the tax.
The enforcement drive launched along with the states has been quite successful with a large number of cases being detected.
Bogus invoices prevail in some sectors. What is your take?
Yes, it does. Some of the entities use bogus invoices in certain categories, mainly metal scraps. This is because a lot of that gets generated domestically for which there is no tax payment invoices.
However, some of the recent measures brought in the GST regime early this year, such as making returns sequential and restricting fake input tax credit would start showing impact now.
This may curb bogus receipts, input tax credit frauds.
The GST audit is in focus. What do you aim to achieve from it?
This is part of our compliance management strategy, which is going on across the country.
The ongoing audit is for the first two years of GST. It would ensure that the quality of returns improved and there should not be any inconsistencies.
The audit will be done in three months for large businesses while for the small ones it is not taking more than a week.
Such exercises are significant as they help in detecting irregularities and fixing business issues.
It involves scrutiny of documents, such as audited financial statements, income tax returns and details of customers and suppliers.
In case the audit detects any mismatch in purchase of items, a show cause can be issued.
It has to be served after informing the concerned entity and in a stipulated time period.
GST in April saw a record collection. What is your expectation in the current fiscal, keeping global factors and inflation in mind?
I believe the average collections would stand somewhere between Rs 1.25 trillion and Rs 1.3 trillion during the fiscal.
What is the future of the compensation regime?
Some states did ask for extension of the compensation regime. These matters come under the purview of the GST Council.
My view is that if the uptick in revenue collections continues, compensation is not required at all.
To meet the demand, the government had released entire dues up to May 31.
Compensation cess collected till March 2026 will be used only for repayments of loan taken earlier to compensate states.
What the circumstances will be in 2026 is difficult to predict.

- The Australian football season (29 October 2021 – 28 October 2022) is designed to unite the game at all levels – organising domestic football over 52 weeks
- For the first time, A-League and Westfield W-League will break for Men’s and Women’s FIFA International Windows
- ‘Transfer windows’ enable the registration of players for all applicable competitions in alignment with FIFA requirements
- The Men’s season will commence with the A-League opening the 2021/22 season and finish with the FFA Cup Final as the last match of the season
- The Women’s season will commence with the Westfield W-League and finish with the NPL Women’s Finals Day
- NPL competitions to align finish dates across the country to maximise connection with an NPL Finals weekend for NPL Men’s and NPL Women’s respectively
- A placeholder for the National Second Tier (NST) competition as an important first step towards bringing this competition to life
Football Australia today released the Australian Football Domestic Match Calendar 2021/22 (DMC 2021/22), which will commence on 29 October 2021, and conclude on 28 October 2022. Next season, the start of the Australian football season will be highlighted by the commencement of the A-League season and the FFA Cup Final 2022, being the last match of the domestic Australian football season.
The DMC 2021/22 is an important tool in connecting the domestic football pyramid by further aligning seasons and setting Transfer Windows that are accessible by all the relevant competitions. It also enables Football Australia and stakeholders to maximise opportunities to grow and develop the game domestically.
The DMC 2021/22 contains key features including a defined Australian football season over 52 weeks, allocated season windows that maximise opportunities for elite competitions, and Transfer Windows aligned with FIFA requirements. (Men’s Transfer Windows, 26 July – 18 October 2021 and 14 January – 10 February 2022; Women’s Transfer Windows, 3 August – 25 October 2021 and 15 March – 12 April 2022).
The DMC 2021/22 ensures the integration of Australian football into the global football landscape, by reflecting the FIFA International Match Calendar (IMC) international windows for the National Teams as well as key Asian Football Confederation (AFC) dates. It also reflects policy with respect to the status of Australia’s top tier club competitions during these national team windows.
For the first time, Football Australia has reached agreement with the APL that the A-League and Westfield W-League will break for the applicable FIFA Men’s and Women’s International Windows, as specified in the IMC. Due to the ongoing effects of COVID however, exceptions to this principle will be applied. For the next season, in January 2022, A-League clubs will be able to schedule matches on the weekend of 29 and 30 January that occur during this window (created specifically by FIFA for COVID considerations), however, they will still be required to release players in accordance with FIFA and Football Australia regulations.
Football Australia CEO James Johnson highlighted the importance of the DMC 2021/22 as a critical initiative and important regulatory function of Football Australia following the unbundling of the Professional Leagues from Football Australia.
“The release of the DMC 2021/22 marks the culmination of an extensive process of dialogue with stakeholders, involving the APL, Member Federations and Professional Footballers Association (PFA). Developing the DMC 2021/22 in a COVID environment has presented challenges, however the process has underscored the importance of the DMC 2021/22 and the role it plays in bringing all parts of the game together. It builds on last year’s DMC and represents the next phase in the evolution of the Australian football landscape towards more aligned football competitions and a more connected Australian football pyramid.
Notably, we believe that the DMC 2021/22 places Australian football at its core. It opens with the commencement of the A-League and concludes with the FFA Cup 2022 Final as the last match of the Football Australia Season – two (2) iconic moments in the season which all fans can look forward to.
“We have also, for the first time, agreed with the APL that the A-League and Westfield W-League will cease play in FIFA Men’s and Women’s International Windows allowing the football community to focus on key events in the calendar without conflict. This doesn’t, however, preclude Westfield W-League matches being scheduled during men’s FIFA international windows, nor does it preclude A-League matches being played in women’s FIFA international windows.
“The alignment of finish dates for NPL competitions and the introduction of a finals weekend for NPL competitions across the country (NPL Men’s on 11 September and NPL Women’s on 25 September), is also a significant achievement of the DMC 2021/22. We believe this helps to lift the profile of the NPL competitions in each Member Federation and will over time, also increase the prestige and value.
“The DMC 2021/22 also incorporates a placeholder for a National Second Tier competition (NST), noting that the format of this competition has not yet been finalised. The placeholder is an important first step towards the creation of this competition, allowing for its ongoing development and subject to finalisation of the model, can be adjusted within the DMC framework,” Johnson said.
Sam Ciccarello, President of Football South Australia, and a member of the DMC and NST Working Group, which was established in the first quarter of 2021, applauded the cooperation by all stakeholders to develop a unified and connected DMC 2021/22.
“Having participated in the DMC and NST Working Group alongside other key stakeholders, I applaud everyone’s cooperation and contribution towards this vital initiative. I am excited with the result in unifying Australian football with an aligned Domestic Match Calendar. Particularly, I am pleased that the NPL Men’s and NPL Women’s competitions across all our Member Federations have been aligned and connected with other parts of the game and that we have taken the vital first steps towards the National Second Tier with a placeholder for this competition in 2022, as we continue to develop this model and framework,” Ciccarello said.
Managing Director of APL, Danny Townsend, also recognised the value of the DMC 2021/22 and its role in promoting Australia’s professional leagues.
The DMC is the framework for the whole pyramid of football – this announcement is demonstrative of the determination of Football Australia, APL and all the other football stakeholders to achieve outcomes that serve the whole game.
“In this Olympics year, we get to see our young players coming fresh from playing some of the most exciting football in A-League and Westfield W-League history straight into the games in Tokyo, and we are all incredibly proud to see their talent shine on the world stage.
“By reducing the amount of club versus country clashes next season we can build a brighter future for Australian football, with an all-round better football experience for players and for fans,” Townsend said.
PFA Co-Chief Executive Kathryn Gill said the players welcomed the new format of the DMC 2021/22 which would provide players flexibility and certainty to represent club and country.
“The players have long advocated for international windows to be integrated within domestic fixturing, allowing them to play for club and country without interruption, so we welcome the format of the new DMC 2021/22. The Calendar will help to alleviate pressure on players who may miss vital matches and career opportunities, giving them the opportunity and certainty to represent Australia at the highest level while remaining available for their clubs for critical fixtures in the A-League and Westfield W-League," Gill said.
The DMC 2021/22 may be subject to change by Football Australia to ensure that it is able to adapt to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, the transition to a COVID-safe environment, and as further opportunities and enhancements are identified by Football Australia in consultation and collaboration with stakeholders.
The DMC 2021/22 will also officially introduce our new media rights partner, 10 ViacomCBS who will be the new ‘Home of Australian Football’ for the Matildas, Socceroos, Westfield W-League, A-League and FFA Cup. Fans can catch all the unstoppable action on Network 10 and Paramount+, which launches on August 11.

Families sue TikTok after girls died while trying ‘blackout challenge’
The families of two young girls who allegedly died as a result of a viral TikTok challenge have sued the social media platform, claiming its “dangerous” algorithms are to blame for their children’s deaths.
Parents of two girls who died in a 2021 “blackout challenge” on TikTok, which encouraged users to choke themselves until they passed out, filed a suit on Tuesday in the Los Angeles county superior court.
Represented by the Social Media Victims Law Center (SMVLC), a legal resource for parents of children harmed by social media addiction and abuse, they allege the platform’s “dangerous algorithm intentionally and repeatedly” pushed videos of the challenge into the children’s feeds, incentivizing them to participate in the challenge that ultimately took their lives.
“TikTok needs to be held accountable for pushing deadly content to these two young girls,” said Matthew P Bergman, founding attorney of SMVLC. “TikTok has invested billions of dollars to intentionally design products that push dangerous content that it knows is dangerous and can result in the deaths of its users.”
One victim, eight-year-old Lalani Erika Renee Walton of Temple, Texas, is described as “an extremely sweet and outgoing young girl” who “loved dressing up as a princess and playing with makeup”. She died on 15 July 2021 in what police determined was “a direct result of attempting TikTok’s ‘Blackout Challenge’,” according to the complaint.
Lalani had received a phone for her eighth birthday in April 2021 and “quickly became addicted to watching TikTok videos”, the complaint said. She often posted videos of herself singing and dancing, in hopes of becoming “TikTok famous”.
In July 2021, her family began noticing bruising on Lalani’s neck, which she explained away as an accident. Unbeknownst to them, she had begun participating in the blackout challenge, which had first showed up on her feed weeks before.
On the day of her death, Lalani had spent hours on a family road trip watching videos, including posts of the challenge.
“She was also under the belief that if she posted a video of herself doing the Blackout Challenge, then she would become famous and so she decided to give it a try,” the complaint said. “Lalani was eight years old at the time and did not appreciate or understand the dangerous nature of what TikTok was encouraging her to do.”
The other victim named in the suit, nine-year-old Arriani Jaileen Arroyo of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, received a phone when she was seven years old and used TikTok multiple times a day, according to the complaint. She “gradually became obsessive” about posting dance videos on TikTok and became “addicted” to the app.
In January 2021, Arriani’s family discussed with her an incident of a young TikTok user dying as the result of a challenge, but the Arriani assured them she would never participate in dangerous videos.
However, on 26 February, 2021 she was found not breathing by her five-year-old brother. She was rushed to a local hospital but ultimately taken off life support.
“TikTok unquestionably knew that the deadly Blackout Challenge was spreading through their app and that their algorithm was specifically feeding the Blackout Challenge to children, including those who have died,” the complaint reads.
The lawsuit lists a number of complaints against TikTok, including that its algorithm promotes harmful content, allows underage users on the app, and it fails to warn users or their legal guardians of the app’s addictive nature.
TikTok did not immediately respond to request for comment.
The company has been criticized in the past for allowing dangerous challenges to spread. Doctors reported that the 2021 “milk crate challenge”, which encouraged users to stack and climb milk crates, led to dislocated shoulders, ACL tears, and even spinal cord injuries. In 2020, a 15-year-old girl died after participating in the “Benadryl challenge”, in which users took a large amount of anti-histamines in an attempt to produce hallucinogenic effects. In 2020, two minors were charged with assault after participating in the “skull breaker” challenge, which caused one victim to have a seizure.
Attorneys for the SMVLC claimed the company knowingly allowed such content to proliferate on the platform because it increased engagement, user numbers, and ultimately profit.
“TikTok prioritized greater corporate profits over the health and safety of its users and, specifically, over the health and safety of vulnerable children TikTok knew or should have known were actively using its social media product,” they said.
The Walton and Arroyo families are seeking an unspecified amount in damages and have requested a jury trial to take place in California. | https://news.yahoo.com/families-sue-tiktok-girls-died-050020778.html | 2022-07-06T05:44:27Z | https://news.yahoo.com/families-sue-tiktok-girls-died-050020778.html | false | 2 |

Tokyo, July 6 (Jiji Press)--Experts have weighed in on what they think voters in Sunday's House of Councillors election should consider about Japan's plan to boost its defense spending.
In an unusual move, most major political parties, with the exception of the Social Democratic Party and the Japanese Communist Party, have shown support for increasing the country's defense spending, apparently reflecting the public's heightened concerns due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"Located near China, North Korea and Russia, Japan has an especially severe security environment compared with the rest of the world," said Ryoichi Oriki, former chief of staff at the Joint Staff of the Self-Defense Forces.
He said that in order to cope with such a geopolitical challenge, Japan needs to increase its defense budget.
Saying that the country will also need to rethink ways to use its defense spending, Oriki proposed that Japan expand its stockpiles of ammunition and components, which have received less attention than other defense supplies, and improve its facilities and drills.

Procore (NYSE:PCOR) is a buy for me. The company benefits from the secular tailwind of digital transformation in the construction sector. Its addressable market is large and growing. The company is innovative and investing in growth organically by S&M and new products as well as by strategic M&A. The valuation seems lofty due to the tight margins brought by investments in growth and revenue growth slowdown due to the pandemic. Now is an attractive time to enter the stock as the reopening will bring strong growth to its end markets. Taking a longer-term view, I see a +50% upside in the stock. Furthermore, I'm above consensus on revenue growth and think that results over the next quarters could catalyze the stock.
The construction industry is one of the largest out there. At ~$12tn, construction represents almost 14% of global GDP. It's not a declining industry either and has been and is expected to grow above the rate of inflation for the foreseeable future (post COVID madness). Any company that profitably takes a meaningful share of construction spending will be a huge one.
One of the largest opportunities is in the digitization of the construction sector. Despite its massive size, construction is a big laggard in digitization. Construction labor productivity grew at an annualized rate of 1% over the past two decades, well below the cross-industry average of almost 3%. The global cost of rework caused by poor data/miscommunication in construction totaled more than $260bn in 2018. Construction is complicated with its limitless manual processes and numerous stakeholders. The need for digitization is dire.
Procore is well-positioned to deliver outsized returns capitalizing on this need. The company is the leading software vendor in the construction sector serving to increase efficiency from the preconstruction bidding processes to project, resource, and financial management. Procore should be able to prosper under the secular theme of digitization of construction.
Covid has hurt the construction sector and hurt Procore along with it. We've seen a 9% decline in construction from 2019 to 2020 where 78% of general contractors reported having a project delayed or disrupted. This pushed Procore stock to $80.9 which is materially below the opening price of $84 on Procore's first trading day.
We're likely going to see better performance leaving the pandemic and it's generally lucrative to invest in improving performance. Procore was growing well above 50% YoY prior to the pandemic and growth rates moderated down to low 20%s earlier this year before accelerating up to 29.5% in the most recent quarter. I expect revenue acceleration to continue.
Post-covid will boost Procore revenues for two main reasons. First is the obvious backlog in projects. The slowdown in construction will bounce back higher. The run-rate of new projects should mean revert with more commercial construction now to offset the down-times during the pandemic.
The second reason is the strengthened digital adoption trends throughout the pandemic. The use of technology to conduct business when possible seems like a must today. ~93% of construction workers already use a smartphone. I've already mentioned the stagnantly low labor productivity in the construction sector but construction labor productivity is of paramount importance today. Construction is very labor dependent and the labor market is very tight. There are 344K open positions in the sector causing an opening rate at multi-year highs. The layoff rate is at multi-year lows. The situation isn't improving either with the average hiring rate at long-term averages despite an upshift in labor supply-demand.
Employers will have to get the most out of their workers to limit the impact of the tight labor market going forward. Technology is the way to increase productivity. Application software spending of the construction sector is already a $12.4 bn market and should dramatically grow coming out of the pandemic.
Surprisingly, this is a non-consensus view. Wall Street analysts expect Procore to grow its revenues 24% per year in 2022 and 2023. I'm confident that the company will be able to outperform these estimates which should be beneficial to the stock price. Procore has historically been able to grow its customers by more than 20% before the pandemic. I expect this to continue or increase given the growing demand that I expect for application software in the construction sector and Procore's 2% logo penetration rate.
Procore should be able to sell more to its current customers as well. The company utilizes a volume-based pricing mechanism which should bring more revenue per current user with increasing commercial construction. There are cross-selling opportunities as well. Only 43% of Procore's current customer base uses more than 4 of their 13 solutions. The land & expand opportunity is definitely large.
Overall, I would be very surprised if Procore delivered below 30% growth rates over the coming years and thus I'm above consensus.
New products are very important for SaaS companies. They enable new avenues of growth at attractive prices. Cross-selling an existing client is much easier than convincing and onboarding a new one. Furthermore, stickiness increases the more services a user uses. Being able to broaden its product offerings will be important for Procore.
The company already expanded beyond its core project management software into preconstruction, resource management, and financial management that shows its innovativeness. I expect that the new Procore Network will be another example. Procore can continue to add new products in a wide array of areas including payments, compliance, insurance, lending, invoicing, sourcing. It's already venturing into the first two with the Levelset acquisition.
A growing TAM plays a big part in long-term models as it means materially higher long-term revenue and lower churn. It's a significant alpha driver as Street analysts often don't model new products. I expect Procore to surprise the Street by adding capabilities that bring new revenue streams over the next decade.
Bears often point out the negative margins of Procore. I argue that this is normal. Furthermore, I support the company's investment in growth which is the primary reason behind the low margins. Procore's end markets are in the early innings of their digital transformation. Procore will need to land as many customers as it can as early as possible to solidify its incumbency. This takes heavy investment and is the right thing to do. S&M cost per acquisition is going to be higher today than later down the road as potential clients are going to need more convincing compared to when the company's services become a household name in the sector.
Another reason for the company's tight margins is inorganic activity. Again, I see the M&A strategy as the right thing to do. Procore broadening its offerings today will give it a competitive advantage over peers as well as make growth easier by increasing the value proposition.
The long-term operating model should be highly profitable. Gross margins highlight this. Procore has gross margins consistently well into the 80%s. The sales & marketing (S&M) spend is eating up all of the margins today at 75% over the last twelve months. As the company scales, incremental sales will be a smaller portion of total revenues. S&M should be lower on an acquired revenue basis as the rate of adoption in the industry grows along with higher ticket sizes enabled by a wider product range.
The management is hinting at this with its long-term target model. The target calls for 20-25% operating margins and 28-30% S&M costs. I believe that the company should find it easy to reach these levels over time.
I urge investors to take a long-term view of the company when looking at valuation. The COVID-related slowdown in revenue growth and negative margins due to growth investments are inflating current metrics.
I've prepared a back-of-the-envelope valuation below to highlight the opportunity. Take my work with a grain of salt as it's just an illustration of the potential. That being said, I believe that Procore could do a lot better than the scenario I'm providing.
I used a top-down approach. I tried to reflect the effect of digitization in the construction sector. Company filings tell us that IT gets 1.7% of total construction spending and that application software gets 7.3% of IT spending currently. I'm building a ramp up to 2% spending on IT and 10% of that on app software within 10 years. These are rough numbers and don't rely on concrete facts but given the very low level of digitization in the construction space and the inefficiency resulting from it, I think that this is very conservative and the actual numbers could be a lot more. I'm building my model off of the 2031 construction sector size.
For Procore specifics, I'm using a 20% market share. I think that this is likely as the company is the leader in the vertical similar to Salesforce (CRM), which also has a 20% share in its market, and Salesforce's market is a lot bigger and has significantly more competition than Procore's markets will ever have. I'm using a 2031 trading multiple of 20x. This is very, very conservative given the vertical SaaS software stocks of today. I'm using a low multiple to account for Procore's inherently more volatile earnings that are partly based on usage as opposed to SaaS peers that primarily earn recurring revenues. Procore's end markets are more cyclical as well. Furthermore, I see a high probability of multiple compression in the sector as interest rates rise. I'm using a 7.3% WACC which I'm obtaining from Valueinsights.io (GuruFocus also about the same).
My calculation yields a 54% upside to today's price. Procore is a buy for me.
Again, this is just a back-of-the-envelope calculation. I'm not accounting for any change in share count or any cash flow by 2031. I'm just saying that if Procore can maintain its leadership position, its stock will be worth a whole lot more than what it is today. Given the secular tailwinds behind the company and my above-consensus expectations, Procore is a buy for me today.

The confusion is over—for now.
San Benito High School is officially Hollister High School after the San Benito High School District Board of Trustees voted to finalize the renaming of the school in their June 28 meeting. The unanimous vote capped a years-long process that saw the Board examine the renaming of the high school five times in the last year alone.
Board President John Corrigan said the inevitable future opening of a second high school in San Benito County served as one of the driving forces for the name change.
“The name change has been in the conversation forever, but this year the definite pressing need for a second high school kind of gave us a little impetus to make this decision one way or another,” Corrigan said. “You’re not going to build a second high school and call it Hollister High School because there are already far too many people who firmly believe that campus on Monterey Street is Hollister High School. The fact that we’ll need another high school eventually gave us the impetus to do this once and for all.”
Of course, nothing would preclude the future second high school being named—you guessed it—San Benito High School. But that will all be determined at a much later date.
The renaming of SBHS to Hollister High School will cost the district $55,000—it has a budget of roughly $41 million—which accounts for signage, label, uniform and various logo changes. Most if not all of the sports teams, of course, already have the block H or Hollister lettered on their apparel.
Those in favor of the name change said it’s long overdue. Bryan Smith and Marlene Villegas are longtime P.E. teachers and graduates of the school and they’re delighted with the official name change. They’ve always known and referred to the school as Hollister.
The Villegas family has had three generations graduate from the school: both of Villegas’ parents, herself and her three daughters. Smith was a three-sport standout at Hollister in the early to mid-1990s. They both cited the block H that is ubiquitous on the school’s P.E. T-shirts, sports team uniforms and hats as paramount to why the school should be called Hollister.
“I have always identified as a Hollister Haybaler,” Smith said in a text message to the Free Lance. “In the early 1990s, it was on my sports uniforms and we were and still are extremely proud. The H on our (football) helmet was implemented in the mid-’90s by (former football) coach (Chris) Cameron. It represents Hollister. One side of our helmet represents our fans, our alumni, our community. The other side is the players’ side. The hay hooks the players earn go on their side. We are the Hollister Haybalers. It has been a long time since I’ve seen SB on a hat, shirt, or any gear from the high school.”
Incidentally, the block H has been a source of confusion. Randy Logue, who coached for 20-plus years at the school and was a teacher for over 30 years before retiring, might have the definitive facts on the block H and what it stands for.
The late Bob Mattson, a Hollister High Hall of Fame inductee and whose name graces the school’s large gymnasium, told Logue in 1986 that the H stands for Haybalers, not Hollister.
“But in the 1920s they were actually called the Hollister Huskies,” Logue said. “As in (strapping) Husky farm boys who went to school there.”
Corrigan emphasized the Board along with District Superintendent Shawn Tennenbaum and Administrative Assistant Carol Heiderich did extensive research before making their decision. Their findings, in fact, went a long way in giving them confirmation they were making the right decision.
Since the inception of the school in 1875, the school has been either recognized or officially named San Benito High School, San Benito County High School, San Benito Union High School, San Benito Joint Union High and Hollister High School.
“One thing was clear: there was never a single year where it was clearly called San Benito High School or Hollister High School,” Corrigan said. “Every single year, it was referred to both names numerous times in newspaper articles, yearbooks, and any other sources of publications. In some yearbooks the school would be referred to as San Benito High and Hollister High literally on the same page, depending on what activity was being referenced. People feel passionate about each of the names, and there were quite a few people at the meeting that were opposed to the name change, but it was the right thing to do.”
Logue, who prefaced his comments and said his opinion doesn’t truly matter because he didn’t graduate from the high school, takes issue with anyone thinking it was the right thing to do.
“I don’t think it’s morally right that they changed the name of the school,” Logue said. “If you live in the county’s rural areas, basically what you’re saying to them is you’re not as important. I think it’s a mistake, I think it’s a bad move and I think it’s a slap in the face to people who live in the rural parts of the county. If you didn’t graduate from that school, what gives you the moral right to change something that has existed for over 100 years? To change something that started in the 1800s, I think that’s arrogance on our part.”
Villegas, in a text message to the Free Lance, said renaming the school officially to Hollister is a win-win from an inclusion standpoint.
“I feel Hollister High makes it more personable,” she said. “Since it’s the only high school in town, Hollister High represents the community to me. SBHS is more of the sense of the county to me. Everywhere I go someone would ask where is SBHS? I would say in Hollister.
“Then they would immediately know the school. This happened all the time at our coach’s meeting for sports. They would often say then why not just call it Hollister High? I would say I do lol. To me it has always been Hollister High School in the San Benito High School District. This would make it inclusive for all.”

Love Island fans flocked to social media to share their disgust at Tasha Ghouri kissing new boy Billy Brown while wearing Andrew Le Page's ring.
Real estate agent Andrew and model Tasha were seemingly a strong couple having been together since the beginning of this year's series.
However, Casa Amor has led to both straying - with Andrew taking a liking to Coco Lodge and even saying "Tasha who?".
In Tuesday evening's episode, fans watched on as it was the turn of Tasha, who is the show's first ever deaf contestant, to "cheat" on her man in the original villa as cheeky chap Billy leant in for a kiss.
While the action was enough to shock some onlookers, other eagle-eyed viewers took to Twitter to condemn her for doing so while wearing Andrew's ring.
He had sent the momento to Casa Amor in the suitcase he packed for the blonde beauty after the girls were surprised with a trip to the new villa.
And one user exclaimed: "SHE HAS HIS RING ON IM SCREAMING," while another blasted: "Not tasha wearing andrews ring while lipsing Billy."
Others weren't so sure on what they seen - or weren't after to believe it. Another user questioned: "Is Tasha wearing Andrew’s ring whilst kissing Billy?"
And a fourth shared a similar message, seemingly finding it amusing: "LOL was Tasha wearing Andrews ring whilst she kissed billy ???"
Tuesday's edition of the show saw action certainly heat up with many of the couples appearing to be at breaking point.
While Dami Hope continues to get to know new girl Summer, his current partner Indiyah Polack is also testing the waters in Casa Amor with Deji.
Elsewhere, Ekin-Su Culculoglu might have decided Davide Sanclimenti is the man for her, but what she doesn't know is that he's already kissed two of the girl bombshells - and it seems he's keen to pair up with one of them.
And in the teaser clip for Wednesday's episode, emotions seem to be running high as Andrew is seen sobbing with his head in his hands.
While there are no details on what has upset him, it seems to be something major and fans are convinced he has discovered Tasha's actions via the dreaded postcard.

How to have the perfect barbecue: What to grill, perfect pasta salad and the best dessert
It doesn't matter how hot it is, there's just something irresistible about getting people together around a grill. The difference between a run-of-the-mill cookout and a seriously memorable barbecue comes down to the details. Sure, you can buy a box of frozen burger patties, some deli counter salads and sides, a six-pack and call it a day. But with a few easy upgrades, you can take your chill feast to the next level.
From procuring some local hot sauces to put on the buffet to making the world's creamiest potato salad from scratch, here are eight tips and half a dozen recipes to help you up your barbecue game.
First, the basics of how to grill
Make a better burger: Cooking a burger may seem simple: just toss it on the barbecue. But there are a few simple ways to ensure a perfect patty , including letting the meat come to room temperature before grilling and cooking them over indirect heat.
Hot dog! Do you know the secret to easy-to-manage, perfectly cooked hot dogs? A stick . That's right, skewering your hot dogs helps you control them and even allows for fancy spiral cuts that can help them plump up and get crispy edges.
Don't let meat have all the fun: Veggies benefit from a smoky char and grilling can help caramelize the natural sugars in fruits. At your next barbecue, try grilling lettuce, peaches and citrus .
Safety first: There is no party foul quite so heinous as food poisoning. So be sure to follow food safety best practices like washing your hands well before handling food, cooking meats to the proper temperature and keeping foods out of the "danger zone" by chilling bound salads and keeping your cooked food hot.
Got any plans? The absolute best things to do in metro Phoenix and beyond for the July 4th weekend
The best places to get meat, beer and hot sauce in metro Phoenix
A barbecue is by nature a simple affair, which means every element needs to shine. It's a great excuse to showcase Arizona artisan makers and producers.
Get some great local meat: We love supporting local ranchers and it isn't hard to do, either by purchasing from them directly at farmers markets or the stand at the Red Mountain Cattle Company in Mesa, or at one of the fantastic butcher shops around the Valley that specialize in sourcing the very best cuts of Arizona-raised meat .
Heat things up with local hot sauces : We have some fantastic hot sauces being made right here in Arizona. Big Red's has nine hot sauces and two smother sauces — blackberry rum and AZ Jerk, which are a pretty rad upgrade to typical barbecue sauces. Swap your Tabasco for a bottle of Arizona Salsa and Spice Company's award-winner Miss Reapper hot sauce, made with honey, aged jalapeños and a touch of Carolina reaper and ghost peppers for a heat-lovers flex. You can order most of these local sauces online or pick them up at the farmers market.
Buy the right bottle: You'll no doubt have a cooler full of craft brews on hand, but it's nice to have options. At great bottle shops around the Valley, you can score expert recommendations to get just the right bottle, at the right price, to match your meal and the vibe.
Get the rest delivered: Do yourself a favor and just get the rest of your ingredients, colas and chips delivered, after all, you'll be outside enough this weekend. From AJ's to ALDI, most major grocers in metro Phoenix have a delivery option for a nominal fee.

The best side dishes to make at your BBQ
If you get great meats, they almost take care of themselves, but don't sleep on your side dishes. In most cases, homemade always tastes better than packaged, and these recipes are a foolproof and super-easy way to add a special touch to the spread.
The creamiest, smokiest potato salad, ever: Think you don't like potato salad? Robin Miller's recipe might change your mind. This combination of buttery-soft potatoes, satiny mayo dressing, smoky bacon and sweet pimentos is likely to convert even the most skeptical. Pro tip: pre-portion this creamy potato salad into small Dixie cups to make backyard eating a breeze.
Perfect pasta salad: Put down the diced celery. Miller's pasta salad will make you re-think everything you think you knew about what a pasta salad can be with colorful corkscrew pasta tossed with salami, cheese, olives, veggies and a garlicky, herby, lemon dressing. This is, quite possibly, the best pasta salad you will ever eat .
Doggo buns: If you're going to take your typical hot dogs and dress them up Sonoran-style with bacon, pinto beans, salsa, crema, avocado and pico de gallo, the key to completing this iconic version is the bun. While it might seem like a lot of work to make your own buns, there really is no substitute for the strong, yet tender, slightly sweet Sonoran doggo bun and chef Minerva Orduño Rincón's recipe for classic Sonoran hot buns is tried and true.
Don't forget dessert. Save some space for strawberry pavlova,carrot cake
Strawberry pavlova is an impressive-looking dish that is light, crispy, creamy and perfect for summer gatherings. If you can nail the merengue, which can and should be made ahead of time, it's also pretty easy to make. Miller shares her tips and tricks for making perfect pavlova every time.
Carrot cake has no season . It is a crowd-pleasing winner all year round and Miller's version kicks things up a notch with an orange-scented, ultra-moist batter . Make it into cupcakes to maximize portability or double the recipe and stack your cakes into a dramatic two-tiered show stopper if you want to add a little drama to dessert.
Make-ahead sangria: Does a cocktail count as dessert? If not, it should. Sangria is an ideal barbecue sipper since it's light, refreshing and can be made ahead of time in big batches. Amelia Goe offers a sangria recipe that's a great starting point and can be adapted to suit your taste and what's in season.

Since their creation 80 years ago, collaborating with the arts and fashion world has been part of a long tradition at Lancôme, with the luxury French cosmetics house having previously worked with world renowned designers including Jenny Packham, Jason Wu and Alber Elbaz for Lanvin.

“Dark Sanctuary: The Story Of The Church” will be a feature-length documentary about the historic Dallas goth club The Church. The documentary will explore the history and stories of one of the longest running goth clubs in the U.S..
Through interviews with music artists (including Paul Oakenfold, Bill Leeb, Aurelio Voltiare, and RubberDoll), local bands, and patrons, the film will tell the story of the transgressive community of misfits that formed in the nearly three decades of the legendary club’s existence.
The film will center on the club’s DJ in residence, Joe Virus, and follow his journey from aspiring musician to DJ’ing the main stage for over 20 years. The film will also narrate the events of 2019 and 2020 as a multimillion-dollar real estate company bought up the neighborhood, and the pandemic claimed the community’s beloved building at 2424 Swiss Avenue. Now, their home of nearly three decades stands on the brink of being lost forever.
They plan to seek more interviews with many of the world-famous artists who performed there over years such as cEvin Key, Front 242, Front Line Assembly, Combichrist, Clan of Xymox, VNV Nation, Dita Von Teese, and many more. The additional plan is to explore many of the stories and personalities intertwined with The Church’s history including such Marylin Manson, The Cure, Trent Reznor, Joan Jett, and even Madonna.
In tandem with the story of The Church, the film will talk about the Friday and Saturday EDM nights known as The Lizard Lounge where legends of electronic music performed: Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Moby, Tiesto, The Prodigy and more.
cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy will co-compose the title music track along with resident DJ of The Church, Joe Virus. Artist Ashley Thorpe known for the Shudder Exclusive film Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched will do illustrations and animations as well as design the movie poster.
The goal is to collect $70,000 in funds. The perks for the backers include DVD’s, signed posters, 45 rpm records, and even actual ceiling tiles from 2424 Swiss Ave.

New UK finance minister Zahawi says we need to grow the economy
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
LONDON, July 6 (Reuters) - Britain's new finance minister Nadhim Zahawi said on Wednesday the government needed to rebuild and grow the country's struggling economy, and he would look at all options to do that.
"I will look at everything, there is nothing off the table," he told Sky News, when asked about possible tax cuts.
Britain's economy is showing signs of a slowdown as inflation heads for double-digits and it is forecast to be weaker than other big industrialised economies next year.

Zahawi also stressed the need for "fiscal discipline" and said the government would have to be careful about increases in public sector pay which could drive inflation higher.
"The important thing is to get inflation under control, be fiscally responsible," he told Sky News.
Zahawi was appointed on Tuesday by Prime Minister Boris Johnson hours after Rishi Sunak quit the job in protest at Johnson's "standards" and citing differences over economic policy with the prime minister.
