This summer's transfer window could see yet another move for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Manchester United superstar has made it known he wants to quit the club after their poor season. It has cast doubt over his pre-season involvement with Chelsea among those keen as they themselves look to get their summer recruitment going.
Tyrell Malacia is the first signing of Erik ten Hag's tenure whilst their rivals have done much of their business ealry in the window.
Manchester City have recently signed Kalvin Phillips to follow Erling Haaland and Liverpool have Darwin Nunez now in the ranks whilst Gabriel Jesus is now an Arsenal player.
Stayed with us as Mirror Football looks to bring you all the latest from the world of transfers.
Arsenal lead Tielemans race
Following Arsenal’s early capture of Porto midfielder Fabio Vieira this summer, it was soon reported that the Gunners were ‘cooling’ their interest in signing Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans this summer, with the potential to revisit the situation later in the summer.
And that now seems to be the case, as the Gunners plan on landing the Belgian ace in order to bolster their ranks in the middle of the park. Now, according to CBS Sports, via The Sun, the Gunners have agreed personal terms with Tielemans.
Chelsea's Nunes offer
Chelsea will table a €50m offer as they look to sign Sporting Lisbon's Matheus Nunes, as per A Bola.
The offer is €45m up front with a further €5 in add-ons, which they believe will be enough to tempt the Portuguese club.
Man Utd 'unsure' on Ronaldo
Man Utd maintain that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be sold but are unsure as to whether he will appear on their pre-season tour, reports Sky Sports.
Failure to jet out with the rest of his teammates will only heighten speculation that he is set to leave.
Remaining in Europe will bolster his chances of achieving an Old Trafford exit.

Ross County sign Eastwood
Sheffield United goalkeeper Jake Eastwood has joined Ross County on a season-long loan.
"Jake is a goalkeeper that has tested himself across different leagues during his career so far and has worked with some really good goalkeepers and coaches," said Ross County manager Malky Mackay.
"We are delighted he has joined us for the current campaign, and I would like to thank Sheffield United for seeing Ross County as the place where Jake can really challenge himself this season."
Juventus 'agree' Pogba deal
Juventus have reached an agreement to re-sign Paul Pogba on a free transfer, according to Sky Sports News.
The 29-year-old is expected to sign a four-year deal in Turin and complete his medical on Saturday.
Pogba left Manchester United last month.
Matinez remains Ten Hag's 'focus'
Erik ten Hag is focussed on signing Lisandro Martinez instead of chasing Matthijs de Ligt, reports in Italy claim.
Manchester United remain in advanced negotations to sign Ajax defender Martinez, while Juventus centre-back De Ligt is expected to leave his club for either Bayern Munich or Chelsea this summer.
Ten Hag 'likes' the latter, but his priority is Martinez, who is keen to move to the Premier League.
PSG offered De Ligt
Paris Saint-Germain were recently offered the chance to sign Matthijs de Ligt, as reported by Get French Football News.
But not by his current club Juventus. It's claimed agent Rafaela Pimenta tried to broker a deal but PSG are not interested in De Ligt.
The French giants are reportedly keen on Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar instead.
Van Persie sends Man Utd message
Robin van Persie has urged Manchester United supporters to get behind new signing Tyrell Malacia during the "good times and bad times" in a classy video message.
Promising Red Devils fans that they are not only getting a "very talented full-back, but, as well, a fantastic person," Van Persie has heaped praise on the 22-year-old, who he played alongside and captained for the 2018/19 season at Feyenoord.
Now back in the Dutch club's academy as a coach, the former United striker knows all about Malacia and expects big things from him at Old Trafford.
In a video posted on Feyenoord's social media channels shortly after the Netherlands international's £13million transfer was confirmed on Tuesday, Van Persie began: "Hey, Tyrell. It's Robin here. I would like to congratulate you on your fantastic move to Manchester United, a big moment in your career."
Southampton want Aribo
Southampton are in talks to sign Joe Aribo, according to The Athletic.
The Rangers midfielder, 25, has 20 senior caps for Nigeria.
Aribo reportedly has a £10million release clause in his contract.
Weghorst joins Besiktas
Wout Weghorst has completed his move to Besiktas.
The 29-year-old leaves Burnley following the club's relegation from the Premier League. He scored just twice for the Lancashire club.
Pereira 'accepts' Fulham offer
Reports from Brazil claim that Andreas Pereira has accepted an offer from Fulham and will leave Manchester United imminently.
The midfielder, 25, will reportedly sign a three-year contract at Craven Cottage, with the option of an extra season.
Newly-promoted Fulham are set to pay an initial £9million and a further £3m in bonuses.
Pereira joined United in 2011 but has failed to make the grade after multiple promising loan spells, most recently with Flamengo.
Bergwijn close to joining Ajax
Steven Bergwijn will undergo a medical at Ajax on Wednesday, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
The Tottenham ace is set to join Ajax on a permanent deal.
Chelsea transfer round-up
Chelsea hope to complete the signing of England forward Raheem Sterling and at least one defender before they set off on their American tour this weekend.
A deal for Manchester City star Sterling is believed to be close, and although the Blues' pursuit of Seville centre-back Jules Kounde has gone quiet in the last 10 days, the powerful French centre-back is still believed to be in head coach Thomas Tuchel's sights.
New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly will have to meet the Spanish club's buy-out clause of around £72 million, and Seville sporting director Monchi is reported as saying: "Jules Koundé has chances to leave the club if some club will pay the release clause. Chelsea made a bid last week but we didn't like it."
Chelsea want Pavard
Chelsea want versatile Bayern Munich full-back Benjamin Pavard.
Thomas Tuchel has targeted the 26-year-old France international with Bayern set to gazump him for Juventus centre-half Matthijs de Ligt. Pavard is being eyed up as an alternative as even though he is predominately a right-back he can play across the back line.
Juventus are also big admirers of Pavard but see De Ligt as more of a priority. Atletico Madrid are also keen. Pavard has lifted three Bundesliga titles with Bayern and helped to clinch the Champions League in 2020.
He made 35 appearances for the German giants in all competitions last season and has been playing for them since 2019, when he joined from Stuttgart in a £30m deal.
Woodburn handed lifeline
Former Liverpool youngster Ben Woodburn has joined Preston on a one-year deal.
The 22-year-old is hoping to reignite his career after becoming Liverpool's youngest ever scorer in November 2016.

These include Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Roma, Napoli and Chelsea.

Edu sends Martinez message
Arsenal are thought to be battling Manchester United for Lisandro Martinez's signature.
The defender, 24, impressed at Ajax last season and the Gunners have reportedly identified him as a utility player, deploying him at centre-back and left-back.
And the club's sporting director Edu was keen to send Martinez a message at Gabriel Jesus' unveiling earlier this week.
"You see a good team, a young team, as I explained to you the project, what we are looking for, for the future of this club," Edu told Jesus.
"For the present and of course for the future of this club. So you are the right profile to impact our present and then of course to help us go for a beautiful future, as we plan to do."
Was Martinez listening? Only time will tell.

Forest 'in talks' with Bayern over Richards

Leicester 'verbally agree' a deal for Bourigeaud
Leicester City have verbally agreed a deal with Rennes for Benjamin Bourigeaud, according to journalist Josh Wilson.

Man Utd confirm Malacia signing
Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Tyrell Malacia, with the left-back moving to Old Trafford from Feyenoord.
The 22-year-old, who made his senior Netherlands debut in 2021, was part of the Feyenoord team which reached the final of the inaugural Europa Conference League last season.
His arrival is expected to be one of many for United's new manager Erik ten Hag, who could go back to the Eredivisie for further recruits as he now moves on to his next target.
Barca's Lewandowski talks
Bayern Munich are determined to play hardball with Barcelona in their negotiations over Lewandowski, reports SB Nation's Bavarian Football Works
Bayern are adamant they will not accept less than 50million euros for their wantaway striker - and they want the payment in one installment.
Barcelona's offers have so far been way below Bayern's asking price and the Spanish giants are banking on the Bundesliga side compromising because Lewandowski has made it clear he wants to leave. However, transfer talks remain deadlocked with both sides.
Liverpool eye new Gomez deal
The Reds' newly-appointed sporting director Julian Ward replaced former boss Michael Edwards this summer at Anfield and is now looking to tie down Joe Gomez on a new deal.

Lingard poised for Hammers return
West Ham look to have won the race for Jesse Lingard despite Everton's interest, according to the Daily Mail.

Ziyech set for loan
AC Milan are in discussions with Chelsea about signing Hakim Ziyech on loan, according to The Athletic.
The winger joined from Ajax back in 2020 but has been unable to establish himself at the Blues.
As a result he may seek a temorary move away to rediscover his best form.
PSG sack Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino has been sacked by PSG after months of speculation.
The French side have been unable to capture the Champions League and that failure contributed to the Argentine's downfall.
Christophe Galtier is set to replace him.

Boris Johnson ‘Vows to Carry On’ After Sunak, Javid ‘Shell-Shock' Exits Prompt Emergency Reshuffle
05:54 GMT 06.07.2022 (Updated: 06:08 GMT 06.07.2022)
No 10 found itself on the ropes after deputy chief whip Chris Pincher quit on June 30 amid allegations he had groped two men at a private club the day before. Boris Johnson’s attempts to draw a line under the row triggered questions about what the PM knew about the damning claims regarding the suspended Tory MP before appointing him to a key role.
Boris Johnson was forced to scramble to shore up his Cabinet after two of his most senior ministers – Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak - resigned within 10 minutes of each other on Tuesday evening, claiming they could no longer support the Prime Minister.
The resignations came minutes after the Prime Minister gave an interview admitting he should not have appointed disgraced Tory MP Chris Pincher as deputy chief whip in February after claims the MP groped two men at a private club last week and a slew of revelations of his previous conduct.
The political double body blow for the PM and the subsequent stream of resignations it triggered from junior ministers, with Alex Chalk quitting as solicitor general, prompted more rebel Tories to vociferously insist it was time for Johnson to go.
However, despite the threat of a backbench mutiny, Johnson battled to reset his premiership, appointing Nadhim Zahawi as Chancellor and Steve Barclay as Health Secretary, with Michelle Donelan promoted to Education Secretary to replace Zahawi.
Just moments after the resignations were announced, Boris Johnson reportedly made it clear to a group of around 80 Tory MPs in a pre-arranged meeting that he had every intention of carrying on. The embattled Prime Minister was quoted by an aide as saying “F*** that” to the notion of resigning, according to the Times.
Who ‘Jumped Ship’ & Who Stayed
First Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, and then Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor, published letters on their Twitter accounts clarifying they could no longer carry on under Johnson’s premiership.
I have spoken to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as Secretary of State for Health & Social Care.
— Sajid Javid (@sajidjavid) July 5, 2022
It has been an enormous privilege to serve in this role, but I regret that I can no longer continue in good conscience. pic.twitter.com/d5RBFGPqXp
In his letter to the PM, Javid said he could "no longer, in good conscience, continue serving in this government."
"The tone you set as a leader, and the values represent, reflect on your colleagues, your party and ultimately the country," Javid wrote in his letter.
The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously.
— Rishi Sunak (@RishiSunak) July 5, 2022
I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.
My letter to the Prime Minister below. pic.twitter.com/vZ1APB1ik1
The chancellor said:
"The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning."
According to Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen, one of those who has publicly called for Johnson to go over the “Partygate” scandal, was cited by Sky News as saying that the two Johnson allies had been prompted to by the fact that ministers were briefed to tell the media on Tuesday morning that the PM did not know about a previous sexual misconduct allegation against Pincher.
"I and a lot of the party are determined he [Mr Johnson] should be gone by summer recess," Bridgen said.
The resignations of Javid and Sunak were shortly followed by Dr Andrew Murrison resigning as the PM's trade envoy to Morocco; Bim Afolami quitting as the Conservative Party's vice-chair; Theo Clarke and Andrew Murrison stepping down as trade envoys and ministerial aides Jonathan Gullis, Saqib Bhatti, Nicola Richards and Virginia Crosbie also walking away.
However, a majority of cabinet ministers were cited by Sky News as intending to stay on, including:
Justice Secretary Dominic Raab, Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng, Home Secretary Priti Patel, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, Housing Secretary Michael Gove, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, Attorney General Suella Braverman, International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Brexit Opportunities Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg, Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey, Scotland Secretary Alister Jack, Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis and Wales Secretary Simon Hart.
New Scandal Rocks No 10
No 10 found itself in crisis mode over its handling of fallout from the latest sexual misconduct scandal involving ex-Tory deputy chief whip Christopher Pincher. The suspended Tory MP quit as deputy chief whip on July 1 over claims he groped two men at the Carlton Club - a Conservative Party private members’ club in London’s Piccadilly - on June 30.
In his resignation letter, Pincher confessed he "drank far too much" and "embarrassed [himself] and other people", but stopping short of addressing the inappropriate behavior claims.
Chris Pincher previously quit office once in 2017 after being accused of making a pass at ex-Olympic rower and Tory activist Alex Story. At the time, the Tory MP was cleared of wrongdoing by a party probe.
However, it was a spate of contorted attempts by Downing Street to insist that the Prime Minister had been unaware of “specific allegations being looked at” concerning Pincher before appointing him to the chief deputy whip post in February this year that ignited the current scandal.
Crossbench peer, Lord Simon McDonald of Salford, penned a letter to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, slamming No10 “keep changing their story and are still not telling the truth.”
According to him, the PM was told “in person” about a “formal complaint” by a “group of officials” at the Foreign Office department concerning Pincher in the summer of 2019.
“The original No10 line is not true and the modification is still not accurate. Mr Johnson was briefed in person about the initiation and outcome of the investigation. There was a “formal complaint”. Allegations were “resolved” only in the sense that the investigation was completed; Mr Pincher was not exonerated. To characterise the allegations as “unsubstantiated” is therefore wrong,” Lord McDonald wrote in the letter.
'Government Collapsing'
After the wave of shock resignations, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said "it's clear that this government is now collapsing." He accused Boris Johnson of having "disgraced his office and let down his country".
"After all the sleaze, the scandals and the failure, it's clear that this government is now collapsing. Tory cabinet ministers have known all along who this prime minister is," the Labour leader said.
As Boris Johnson faces a grilling at Prime Minister’s Questions Wefdnesday, as well as an appearance in front of the liaison committee of senior backbenchers, he is facing a rebel mutiny that has gained fresh ammunition against him.
There have already been reports of a plot among Tory rebel MPs to change the rules of the Conservative Party in order to force a new vote of no confidence in Johnson.
The PM narrowly won a contest on his leadership last month over the “partygate” row, which granted him 12 months' immunity from another leadership challenge.
However, the rebels will purportedly try to secure key posts on the Tory body in charge of leadership contests –the 1922 Committee. A majority on the Committee's 18-strong executive could allow them to tweak the rules and make Johnson face another confidence vote.
But the elections to the 1922 executive are due to be held next week, after which MPs set off on a summer break. Accordingly, Boris Johnson could be spared another contest until September.
Meanwhile, a snap YouGov poll of more than 3,000 people found seven in 10 Britons think Boris Johnson should resign. | https://sputniknews.com/20220706/boris-johnson-vows-to-carry-on-reshuffles-cabinet-after-sunak--javid-shell-shock-resignations-1096999716.html | 2022-07-06T07:10:05Z | https://sputniknews.com/20220706/boris-johnson-vows-to-carry-on-reshuffles-cabinet-after-sunak--javid-shell-shock-resignations-1096999716.html | true | 1 |
Biden Blames Gas Stations for Rising Prices - Thomas Sowell Eviscerated His Argument
First, it was Trump. Then, it was Putin.
Now, President Joe Biden has a new scapegoat for rising gas prices — the gas station owners themselves.
My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.
Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.
— President Biden (@POTUS) July 2, 2022
“My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril,” Biden wrote in a tweet on Saturday.
“Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.”
Many businessmen, economists and common-sense Americans were quick to call Biden’s tweet out for what it was.
Ouch. Inflation is far too important a problem for the White House to keep making statements like this. It’s either straight ahead misdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. https://t.co/XgKfEICZpk
— Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) July 3, 2022
Included among the president’s critics was Washington Post owner and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos himself.
However, none of these voices debunked Biden’s argument quite as well as famed conservative economist and philosopher Thomas Sowell.
For years and years, angry leftists have blamed rising prices on “greedy” business owners. Sowell spent much of his life debunking such arguments in a series of columns, books and other written works.
Many of those writings apply so perfectly to Biden’s recent comments, it’s almost as if they were written in response to the president himself.
In a 2006 column, Sowell castigated California Senator Barbara Boxer for fallaciously blaming oil companies for rising gas prices when, in fact, the rise in prices was the result of the natural economic forces of supply and demand.
Replace “Barbara Boxer” with “Joe Biden,” and the following quotes apply perfectly to today.
“The real irony is that it has been precisely liberals like Barbara Boxer who have been the chief obstacles to increasing the supply of oil because they are dead set against drilling for oil in more places and against building more refineries,” Sowell wrote.
“When you refuse to let supply rise to meet rising demand, why should you be surprised — much less outraged — when prices rise?”
Another great example of Sowell’s work came in the form of a 2007 column in National Review titled “The ‘Greed’ Fallacy.”
“Every time oil prices shoot up, there are cries of ‘greed’ and demands by politicians for an investigation of collusion by Big Oil. There have been more than a dozen investigations of oil companies over the years, and none of them has turned up the collusion that is supposed to be responsible for high gas prices,” Sowell wrote.
At the time, oil prices dropped, posing an important question — why would oil executives all of a sudden become less greedy?
“Now that oil prices have dropped big time, does that mean that oil companies have lost their ‘greed’? Or could it all be supply and demand — a cause and effect explanation that seems to be harder for some people to understand than emotions like ‘greed’?” Sowell wrote.

PM Kisan 12th instalment update: eKYC, documents required, Aadhaar requirements, other details
PM Kisan update: Note the following points to avoid delays in getting the PM Kisan funds transferred to your bank account
UP NEXT
New Delhi: The 12th instalment of the PM Kisan Kisan is likely to be released on September 1, 2022 if some reports are to be believed. Earlier the central government extended the last date of eKYC to 31 July from the earlier deadline of May 31.
The PM Kisan website mentioned, “Deadline of eKYC for all the PMKISAN beneficiaries has been extended till 31st July 2022.
Eligible farmers need to complete the eKYC before the last date in order to receive financial aid.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 31 released the 11th instalment of the PM-Kisan Scheme by transferring around Rs 21,000 crore to 10 crore farmers. Under the flagship scheme, an amount of Rs 6000 per year is released in three instalments of Rs 2,000 each directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries.
Some farmers reported that they did not receive the benefit well after the due date. According to the PM Kisan website, beneficiaries need to follow these points to avoid any problems with respect to PM Kisan funds transfer.
Mismatch in documents
One of the reasons that you might not have received the 11th installment of the PM Kisan Scheme could be due to a difference in name or a mismatch in your name you have entered in the PM Kisan application form and a document like Aadhaar. You need to rectify it in such cases, and make sure there are no discrepancies.
Address updation
Another reason could be a mismatch in the address you have provided while applying and your Aadhaar. If this is so, make sure to update the same address in documents.
Aadhaar details
Entering the wrong Aadhaar details could be another factor that you might not have received the financial aid in your bank account.
Incomplete e-KYC
A failed e-KYC might also impede the transfer of PM Kisan Nidhi funds. The deadline for completing your e-KYC has been extended from May 31 to July 31.
Fake farmer
While the scheme is aimed at benefiting the farmers, there are many who are not eligible to participate in the scheme. Many of them still avail of the benefits, but such people will come under scrutiny.
Here’s how you can check if PM Kisan 11th installment has been credited to the account
Step 1: Visit PM Kisan official website - https://pmkisan.gov.in/
Step 2: Click on ‘Beneficiary status’ tab in right corner of the page
Step 3: Enter Aadhaar number or account number
Step 4: Click on ‘Get data’ tab
Details of the status will be displayed depending on the beneficiary. Also, to receive the amount, your name should be in the beneficiary list.

World Zoonoses Day 2022: How zoonotic pathogens evolved over years and how to prevent them
From malaria to plague, zoonotic diseases have had devastating impacts and ravaged entire countries, inflicting severe damage on human and animal health. But through vaccines and proper sanitation, their spread can be curbed.
UP NEXT
World Zoonoses Day is observed each year on July 6 commemorating the first vaccination administered against a zoonotic disease. It was on this day in 1885 that Louis Pasteur administered the first rabies vaccine to a human. The patient was a nine-year-old shepherd boy — Joseph Meister — who had been bitten by a rabid dog.
Zoonotic diseases are any diseases that spread from animals to humans and vice versa. Some common examples are influenza, ebola and West Nile virus. Such diseases are very common, with 2 out of every 3 infectious diseases in people originally coming from animals. According to the CDC, 60 per cent of all existing infectious diseases are zoonotic, at least 70 per cent of emerging infectious diseases originate in animals, and 80 per cent of potential bioterror agents are zoonotic.
The diseases are caused by harmful pathogens like viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi that can spread to humans and cause illnesses. Depending on the type of zoonotic disease, animals can be carrying the germs in them while appearing to be healthy, which can eventually make the people around them sick.
Because of the close interaction between animals and humans, zoonotic diseases can be spread quite easily, making it important to be aware of the different means of transfer.
Direct contact by petting or touching animals and through their bites and scratches can be a way for someone to be infected. Another way is to come into contact with the areas where the animals have lived, such as aquarium tank water or chicken coops. Foodborne and waterborne problems can also trigger an infection.
Zoonotic influenza, or the animal influenza viruses that spread from animals to infect humans are also known for their contagiousness. Avian influenza virus subtypes and swine influenza virus subtypes circulating in animals can cause infection in people. This disease can also be spread from horses and dogs, who have their own varieties of influenza viruses. Typically, these human infections of zoonotic influenza don’t spread quickly between humans, but if they built the capacity to do so, then that could be the start of another pandemic because humans will have developed little immunity to battle the virus.
The most well-known case of a zoonotic disease is the plague or the Black Death that ravaged Europe between 1347 and 1351. It was responsible for taking more lives than any other known epidemic or war during that time period. The disease was thought to have been spread from rodents to humans by the bite of infected fleas.
Rabies
Rabies is another well-known and well-feared zoonotic disease. If someone presents clinical symptoms of it, rabies is almost 100% fatal. In most cases, domestic dogs are responsible for rabies virus transmission to humans. It can be spread through bites or scratches, usually via saliva. Rabies is present on all continents except Antarctica. However, globally rabies deaths are rarely reported because of the vaccine designed by Louis Pasteur.
To find a solution to the dreaded and horrible disease, Pasteur conducted experiments using rabbits and transferred the infectious agent from animal to animal. He desiccated the spinal cords of the infected animals to reduce the impact of the invisible agents but later realized that instead of lessening the agent’s impact, his treatment had, in fact, neutralized it. Thus, rather unknowingly, Pasteur created a vaccine that would save the lives of so many.
Malaria
Malaria is another example of a zoonotic disease caused by the biting of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. According to the latest World malaria report, there were 241 million cases of malaria reported in 2020 compared to 227 million cases in 2019. 627,000 people died due to malaria in 2020. Four African countries accounted for nearly half of all malaria deaths worldwide. These included Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the United Republic of Tanzania and Mozambique. But the global burden of this disease can be reduced. In 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the use of the RTS, S/AS01 (RTS, S) malaria vaccine in children living in places with moderate to high malaria transmission.
Covid-19
The most recent Covid-19 pandemic is also reportedly thought to be a zoonotic disease. No animal reservoir has been found yet, which is why this classification is premature. While scientists debate whether Covid-19 is zoonotic or not, it’s important to remember that as of July 2022, Covid-19 has claimed the lives of 6,364566 people worldwide and that taking the vaccine and ensuring proper hygiene steps can prevent the spread of Covid.
There are some simple steps that can be taken to prevent zoonotic diseases. Some include washing hands right after being with and around animals. Even if someone hasn’t touched the animals, washing hands ensures that germs can’t be spread.
Preventing bites from mosquitoes, ticks and fleas can prove to be helpful, as well. Making sure that one consumes clean, drinking water and handles food bought from outside safely can curb the spread of zoonotic diseases, too.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) — A shooter fired on an Independence Day parade from a rooftop in suburban Chicago, spraying the crowd with gunshots initially mistaken for fireworks before hundreds of panicked revelers of all ages fled in terror. At least six people were killed and at least 30 wounded.
An hourslong manhunt during which residents hunkered down in businesses or received police escorts to their homes ended with a traffic stop and brief chase Monday evening, when authorities detained a man they described as a person of interest. They gave no motive for the attack in Highland Park, a close-knit community on the shores of Lake Michigan that has long drawn the rich and sometimes famous.
The July 4 shooting was just the latest to shatter the rituals of American life. Schools, churches, grocery stores and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months. This time, the bloodshed came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its founding and the bonds that still hold it together.
“It definitely hits a lot harder when it’s not only your hometown but it’s also right in front of you,” resident Ron Tuazon said as he and a friend returned to the parade route Monday evening to retrieve chairs, blankets and a child’s bike that he and his family abandoned when the shooting began.
“It’s commonplace now,” Tuazon said. “We don’t blink anymore. Until laws change, it’s going to be more of the same.”
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration.
Among them was Nicolas Toledo, who was visiting his family in Illinois from Mexico. He was shot and died at the scene, his granddaughter, Xochil Toledo, told the Chicago Sun-Times. Also killed was Jacki Sundheim, a lifelong congregant and “beloved” staff member at nearby North Shore Congregation Israel, which announced her death on its website.
Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap; baby strollers, some bearing American flags.
“There’s no safe place,” said Highland Park resident Barbara Harte, 73, who had stayed away from the parade fearing a mass shooting, but later ventured from her home.
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said a police officer pulled over Robert E. Crimo III about 5 miles (8 kilometers) north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man’s photo and warned that he was likely armed and dangerous.
Authorities initially said Crimo, whose father once ran for mayor of Highland Park, was 22, but an FBI bulletin and Crimo’s social media said he was 21.
Police declined to immediately identify Crimo as a suspect but said identifying him as a person of interest, sharing his name and other information publicly was a serious step.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference “several of the deceased victims” died at the scene and one died at a hospital. Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn’t have information on the sixth.
Police have not released details about the victims, but Toledo’s granddaughter told the Sun-Times that Toledo had spent most of his life in Morelos, Mexico. Xochil Toledo said she remembers looking over at her grandfather, who was in his late 70s, as a band passed them.
“He was so happy,” she said. “Happy to be living in the moment.”
Xochil Toledo said her father tried to shield her grandfather and was shot in the arm; her boyfriend also was shot in the back and taken by someone to nearby hospital because they weren’t sure there would be enough ambulances for all the victims.
Roberto Velasco, Mexico’s director for North American affairs, said on Twitter that two Mexicans were also wounded.
Sundheim had spent decades on the staff at North Shore Congregation Israel, early on teaching at the congregation’s preschool and later serving as Events and B’nei Mitzvah Coordinator, “all of this with tireless dedication,” the congregation said in its statement announcing her death.
“Jacki’s work, kindness and warmth touched us all,” the statement said.
NorthShore University Health Center received 26 patients after the attack. All but one had gunshot wounds, said Dr. Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Temple estimated that four or five were children.
“It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at a news conference.
“While we celebrate the Fourth of July just once a year, mass shootings have become a weekly — yes, weekly — American tradition.”
Since the start of the year, there have been 15 shootings where four or more people have been killed, including the Highland Park one, according to The Associated Press/USA TODAY/Northeastern University mass killing database.
As is common on holiday weekends, nearby Chicago grappled with scores of shootings. Eight people died from shootings in the city over the July 4 weekend, according to the police department. Sixty others were shot.
However, the city saw fewer people shot than during last year’s Independence Day weekend.
The parade shooter opened fire around 10:15 a.m., when the parade was about three-quarters through, authorities said.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O’Neill, the incident commander on scene, said the gunman apparently used a “high-powered rifle” to fire from a spot atop a commercial building where he was “very difficult to see.” He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building.
Teams of FBI agents on Tuesday peeked into trash cans, looked under picnic blankets and scoured Highland Park’s Central Avenue as they searched for evidence at the site of the shooting.
Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering told NBC’s “Today” show that she did not know where the gun came from but that it was “legally obtained.”
President Joe Biden on Monday said he and first lady Jill Biden were “shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day.”
In recent days, Biden signed the widest-ranging gun violence bill passed by Congress in decades, a compromise that reflected at once both progress on a long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists.
Crimo, who goes by the name Bobby, was an aspiring rapper with the stage name Awake the Rapper, posting on social media dozens videos and songs, some ominous and violent.
In one animated video since taken down by YouTube, Crimo raps about armies “walking in darkness” as a drawing appears of a man pointing a rifle, a body on the ground and another figure with hands up in the distance.
Crimo’s father, Bob, a longtime deli owner, ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Highland Park in 2019, calling himself “a person for the people.”
The community of about 30,000 on Chicago’s north shore has mansions and sprawling lakeside estates and was once home to NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Gina Troiani and her 5-year-old son were lined up with his daycare class ready to walk onto the parade route when she heard a loud sound that she believed was fireworks — until she heard people yell about a shooter.
“We just start running in the opposite direction,” she told The Associated Press. “There were people that got separated from their families, looking for them. Others just dropped their wagons, grabbed their kids and started running.”

Milwaukee media gives right-wing radio host and politicians a chance to amplify the untruth that learning from America’s past injustices is equal to hating America.
Republicans were successful over the weekend in getting the state’s largest newspaper to elevate the conservative trope that criticizing slavery in America is equivalent to hating America—using comments Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes made almost a year ago.
Barnes, running in the Democratic Party primary for US Senate, is “coming under fire,” according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story still promoted on its home page, though the only fire he appears to be taking is from Republicans who either planted or amplified comments played more than 10 months later by a right-wing Milwaukee radio host.
In video clip from Aug. 19, 2021, Barnes is seen speaking in Portage about the conservative campaign to smear the teaching of racial diversity and whitewash the legacy of slavery in America.
“Imagine being so ashamed of how we got to this place in America,” Barnes said of the right-wing activists, “that you outlaw teaching it.”
Barnes reminded the audience that for all of the talk about freedom and independence in America’s early years, not every American was free as its leaders wrestled with whether to justify or outlaw the ability to treat human beings as property, subject to forced labor, death, torture, and family separation.
“Things were bad. Things were terrible,” Barnes said. “The founding of this nation? Awful. You know, but we are here now and we should commit ourselves to doing everything we can do to repair the harm because it still exists today. Whether it was colonization or whether it was slavery, the impacts are felt today and they’re going to continue to be felt unless we address it in a meaningful way.”
Many conservatives argue—out of a lack of understanding or for sheer political duplicity—that since slavery no longer exists, America does not have a legacy of institutional racism. Republicans are in their second year of a targeted messaging campaign of using the graduate school legal teachings of “critical race theory” as a catch-all term to falsely equate diversity and tolerance with indoctrination of feeling ashamed of one’s country or race.
Reaction from Republicans predictably cast anyone criticizing the less-proud moments of America’s past as hating America itself. Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, one of four Republicans hoping to challenge Gov. Tony Evers in the fall, used an approach reminiscent of early 20th century red-baiting.
“I love America,” Kleefisch posted, “and our founding principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Evers needs to call out his lieutenant governor for these awful comments about our great nation. Unless of course he agrees…”
Republican legislators in Wisconsin have manufactured controversy about the teaching of racism and inclusion to the point where bills were passed that are designed to ban lessons that could make white people feel uncomfortable.
Maddy McDaniel, a spokesperson for Barnes, told the Journal Sentinel that the portions of Barnes’ remarks that weren’t shared by Republicans included praise for Wisconsin showing a leadership role in diversity that included being the first state to legally reject the Fugitive Slave Act and the first state to pass the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. | https://upnorthnewswi.com/2022/07/05/republicans-are-given-traction-to-criticize-mandela-barnes-for-criticizing-slavery/ | 2022-07-06T07:16:36Z | https://upnorthnewswi.com/2022/07/05/republicans-are-given-traction-to-criticize-mandela-barnes-for-criticizing-slavery/ | false | 1 |

China’s northwestern city of Xi’an, home to 13 million people, was partially shut down on Wednesday after it reported the country’s first outbreak of a highly transmissible new Omicron subvariant that is fast dominating the United States and Europe.
The city recorded 18 Covid infections from Saturday to Monday, all of which are of the Omicron BA.5.2 subvariant, according to local disease control officials.
BA.5.2 is a sub-lineage of BA.5, which is already dominant in the US and appears to escape antibody responses among both people previously infected with Covid-19 and those who have been fully vaccinated and boosted, according to researchers.
It is the first time the subvariant has been reported in China, one of the last places in the world still adhering to a stringent zero-Covid policy.
On Tuesday, Xi’an officials announced sweeping restrictions that would shut down parts of the city for seven days starting from Wednesday.
Entertainment, sports and cultural venues, including bars, cinemas, gyms, libraries and museums, were closed; restaurant dinning and large gatherings, from weddings to conferences, were suspended; all places of worship were shut and religious activities banned, city official Zhang Xuedong said at the press conference Tuesday.
Kindergartens and primary and secondary schools were ordered to start summer holidays early, while universities were told to seal their campuses, according to Zhang.
Authorities also locked down nine residential neighborhoods categorized as “high-risk areas,” banning residents from leaving their communities.
“The seven-day temporary control measures are meant to quieten the society down as much as possible, reduce mobility…and the risk of cross-infection,” Zhang said.
The announcement caused a stir among some Xi’an residents, many of whom recalled the chaos of the city’s month-long stringent lockdown between December and January.
During that citywide lockdown, a steady stream of complaints about food shortages, as well as heartbreaking scenes of critical patients – including heavily pregnant women – being denied medical care caused shock and anger across the nation.
On Tuesday night, photos and videos posted by Xi’an residents on social media show huge crowds of travelers – many carrying large bags and suitcases – outside the train station, rushing to leave the city.
In the city’s Changan district, residents were ordered to undergo mass Covid testing from midnight to 6 a.m. Wednesday. They are only allowed to leave their community, enter public venues and use public transport after taking the tests, according to a government notice.
As of Wednesday, Xi’an has reported 29 local infections.
Meanwhile in Shanghai, authorities on Tuesday ordered mass testing for 12 of its 16 districts, in response to a handful of new infections linked to a karaoke bar.
Although the financial hub lifted a months-long lockdown on most of its 25 million residents in June, it is still subject to Covid restrictions from frequent testing to targeted lockdowns.
The city reported 24 locally transmitted Covid-19 cases as of Wednesday. | https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/06/china/china-covid-xian-new-omicron-variant-intl-hnk/index.html | 2022-07-06T07:24:29Z | https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/06/china/china-covid-xian-new-omicron-variant-intl-hnk/index.html | true | 13 |
Jordanian teen has a ‘spine made of rope’ in first-of-its kind surgery in Dubai
A teenage girl from Jordan has had a new spine made of rope in a pioneering operation in Dubai; making her the first recipient of the surgery in the MENA region.
Salma Naser Nawayseh, aged 13, underwent the pioneering operation called vertebral body tethering (VBT), where a piece of rope is run down the full length of the spine.
For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
Screws are then inserted into each section of the spine to help produce the correct tension on the rope and correct the curve.
After the operation at Burjeel Hospital, Dubai, last week, the teenager is already making a remarkable recovery and is now not only back walking – but plans to soon return to the tennis courts to resume one of her favorite hobbies.
Salma’s parents first noticed the curve in her spine in April 2022.
They were stunned when doctors diagnosed her with scoliosis, a condition in which there is an abnormal lateral curve of the spine.
Scoliosis can develop in infancy or early childhood. However, the primary age of onset for scoliosis is 10-15 years.
While scoliosis affects about two percent of the population, most cases are mild and do not require invasive treatment. If left untreated, moderate to severe scoliosis can lead to pain, increasing deformity, and potential heart and lung problems.
According to Dr Firas M. Husban, a consultant orthopedic surgeon at Burjeel Hospital, when Salma, a grade 9 student, came to him, she had a thoracolumbar curve of 65 degrees.
Due to her condition, she suffered deformity of the back with shortening of the trunk, lower back hump, unlevelled pelvis, and back pain.
“Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common type and is usually diagnosed during puberty,” the doctor said. “The three treatment options for such patients are observation, bracing, or surgery. While bracing is an option in patients with mild forms of scoliosis, in Salma’s case, she required surgery to correct the deformity,”
The traditional option to correct scoliosis is spinal fusion surgery, where two or more vertebrae are permanently joined into one structure using screws and rods.
While spinal fusion is the most common surgery to treat scoliosis, it limits spinal mobility and subsequent growth. In 2019, the USFDA approved Vertebral Body Tethering; a minimally invasive technique that allows for continued growth without fusion while preserving motion and flexibility.
The new treatment enables fusionless spine correction, allowing the patient to experience the full range of motion and further growth.
Its other advantages include discreet incisions, minimal trauma, fewer complications, and faster healing. As Salma had not reached full skeletal maturity yet, doctors said she was the “perfect candidate” for the procedure.
“As opposed to spinal surgeries that involve cutting into the back and manipulating the spinal cord and nerve roots, in this surgery, we make discreet incisions in the abdomen through the endoscope,” said Dr Husban. “A flexible cord, called the tether, is attached to the spine on the outside of the curve through bone screws.
“Tension is applied to the tether to straighten the spine. The tether puts pressure on the outside, allowing the inside of the spinal curve to grow. Because VBT is minimally invasive, there is little trauma to the delicate tissues of your back. As a result, there is less blood loss, less postoperative pain and speedier recovery time compared to the spinal fusion surgery.”
Right after surgery, Salma’s spinal curve showed improvement. According to Dr Husban, the curve will continue to improve, and the tether will guide the growth of the spine as the body grows.
“The patient is recovering well after the surgery. After two weeks, Salma can go back to school. Four weeks later she can return to full activity with no restrictions and can start playing sports,” he adds.
Salma’s parents are thrilled at the outcome.
“She started walking the second day after surgery,” they said in a statement, released by the hospital. “We are happy that our daughter was eligible for this surgery. We look forward to our daughter holding the racket again and resuming tennis.”
First time in the region
VBT is currently performed in very few countries, including the US, France, and Germany. This is the first instance of the surgery being performed in the GCC and North Africa.
Not every patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a candidate for VBT. It would ideally be performed in children and teens in the age group of nine years and above who are still growing. Moreover, the procedure is most effective in patients with a curve of 45 to 65 degrees.
Despite being a newer treatment, the cost of VBT is similar to other treatments for scoliosis.

JACKSON, Calif. — Evacuation orders were expanded Tuesday for remote California communities near a wildfire that may have been sparked by fireworks or a barbecue on the Fourth of July in a mountainous region that's a top tourism destination.
The Electra Fire in Sierra Nevada Gold Country broke out Monday afternoon and tripled in size to about 6.1 square miles (15.8 square kilometers). It was 5% contained Tuesday night.
The fire was making short, uphill runs, fire officials said.
"The rate of spread isn't what it was like yesterday, but it is still spreading," said Amador County Sheriff Gary Redman. He said firefighters were working to keep flames confined to unpopulated canyon areas.
Mandatory evacuation orders and warnings combined affected up to 700 residents in Amador County and 300 to 400 people in Calaveras County, Redman said. Evacuation centers were set up for people and animals.
The fire started at a recreation area that was packed with people, forcing 85 to 100 celebrating the holiday at a river to take shelter at a Pacific Gas & Electric Co. facility, Redman said. All were later safely evacuated.
"This was the closest I've ever been to a fire. It was literally within feet of us," said Milka Mikula of Valley Springs, who had gone to the river with her husband, her 5-year-old daughter and her 1-year-old son.
They had to wait about six hours before they could finally start for home, she told KCRA-TV.
"I just wanted to get home. I just wanted to get out of there with my babies. I was shaking really, really bad for quite some time," Mikula said.
Redman said the cause of the fire was not known, but that it started in the Vox Beach area of the North Fork Mokelumne River. He said that could suggest fireworks or a barbecue as a potential cause.
More than 100 fire engines, 1,200 firefighters and 14 helicopters were sent to the fire, which was a threat to power infrastructure, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. The terrain was described as steep and rugged.
Cal Fire activated an incident management team for the fire. The teams "are made up of trained personnel who provide operational management and support to large-scale, expanding incidents," Cal Fire said.
One firefighter from the local fire protection district suffered burn injuries, Redman said.
Vox Beach is about 55 miles (89 kilometers) east of Sacramento in the heart of the Sierra Nevada region that is steeped with the history of the mid-1800s Gold Rush.
Several other small fires were burning in the state.

Koffee With Karan: Top 5 biggest burns of the series so far, delivered by Deepika Padukone, Emraan Hashmi and more
Karan Johar will soon be back with the seventh season of his popular talk show Koffee With Karan. The Koffee With Karan couch has been the birthplace of many big Bollywood controversies, with celebrities sometimes making the snarkiest comments about their contemporaries. The controversies have been of such scale that in a promo for the new season, the filmmaker was begging his industry friends to appear on his show who seemed reluctant to avoid any mess. Also Read| Koffee With Karan is back: Love it, hate it, but you can't ignore Karan Johar's 'cult show'
We have compiled five such burns that were delivered on the Koffee couch and soon became the talk of the town. Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Kangana Ranaut among others, have been the celebrities that made the controversial comments.
The actor tops the list as she delivered the biggest burn on the host Karan when she appeared on the show's fifth season with her Rangoon co-stars Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor in February 2017. Her comments also sparked a debate on nepotism in Bollywood which remains a topic of discussion even today.
When asked who has given her 'most unnecessary attitude' in the industry, Kangana looked at Karan point blank and said, "I think you Karan." She also said, “In my biopic, if ever it’s made, you’ll play that stereotypical Bollywood biggie, who is like you know…very snooty and completely intolerant towards outsiders, flag bearer of nepotism, the movie mafia.”
The actor, known for being calm and composed in her interviews, held nothing back when she was asked a question about her ex-boyfriend, Ranbir Kapoor. She appeared with Sonam Kapoor on the third season of the show in 2010, and they were asked to name one product they feel Ranbir should endorse.
Deepika was quick to respond that Ranbir should endorse a 'condom brand.' She clarified that it was a joke, but also said that Ranbir should work on his boyfriend skills.
The actor left everyone gasping when he made a snarky comment about Aishwarya Rai in the popular rapid-fire round of the show. Emraan appeared alongside Mahesh Bhatt in the fourth season of the show in 2014, and was asked to name the actor/actress that comes to his mind when he hears some particular words. As Karan said 'plastic,' Emraan replied, 'Aishwarya' (Rai).
In another part of the game, Emraan was asked to name one piece of advice he would give to Shraddha Kapoor, and the actor replied, 'eat.' He also advised Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif to 'loosen up.'
From sharing her views about actresses and their surgeries to saying that actors who aren't 'good-looking' are considered a 'good actor,' Sonam had her fair share of controversies on Koffee With Karan. The actor came completely reserved when she appeared on the show's fifth season with Kareena Kapoor. However, she did say something about Deepika Padukone, who is also married to Sonam's cousin Ranveer Singh.
Sonam said, “I don't know her at all. The last interaction I had with her was on your couch. Let's say if someone asks me who is the better actress between Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone, I would say Priyanka. But that is my opinion and that does not mean I don't like Deepika.” In another appearance on the show, Sonam was asked to name one thing that Deepika has but she doesn't, and she replied, "An overenthusiastic PR team."
The actor has never been someone who minces her words on the Koffee couch. She took an infamous dig at John Abraham as she said he is 'expressionless.' Bipasha Basu, who was dating John at the time, took revenge by saying Kareena has 'too many expressions' when she later appeared on the show.
On another occasion, Kareena was asked what she would like to ask Priyanka Chopra if she interviews her, and the actor replied, “Where did PC get that accent from?” Priyanka hit back at Kareena during her appearance on the show later that season, saying, “I get my accent from the same place her boyfriend (Saif Ali Khan) does.”
Koffee With Karan's latest season will premiere on July 7 with Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt as the guests on the first episode. The chat show is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar for the first time. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/koffee-with-karan-top-5-biggest-burns-of-series-delivered-by-deepika-kangana-101657077323633.html | 2022-07-06T07:31:16Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/koffee-with-karan-top-5-biggest-burns-of-series-delivered-by-deepika-kangana-101657077323633.html | false | 2 |

Writer Posts Video of Beautiful Electric Cars, Then Viewers Realize They're Stuck in an EV Nightmare
As part of their push for so-called “green energy,” the Biden administration and the rest of the Democratic Party have been pushing electric cars aggressively in recent months.
However, the left has been ignoring the many problems that come with transitioning to electric vehicles too quickly.
On Saturday, Lauren Fix of Car Coach Reports shared a video of more than a dozen electric vehicles in line at what looked like a toll booth. However, as the video panned, it became clear the cars were not waiting to pass through a toll booth at all.
Instead, the vehicles were in line waiting for charging stations.
Still want to buy an EV? Here’s a Tesla charging line in California:#EV #Charging #Tesla #EVLife #ElectricVehicles #Cars #Autos #ElonMusk pic.twitter.com/ThrewJNvFi
— laurenfix (@laurenfix) July 2, 2022
According to Tesla’s website, the fastest charging option for Tesla vehicles is a Tesla supercharger. This appeared to be the type of chargers seen in Fix’s video.
These chargers can charge the vehicles up to 200 miles of range in 15 minutes. While that seems reasonably fast, it is much longer than it takes to fill up a car with gas.
Assuming there were about 20 vehicles waiting in line in the above video, the last car in line would have to wait five hours for each car in front of it to be charged. And that is just the fastest option.
There are only 35,000 superchargers currently available globally at this time, Tesla said on its website. Meanwhile, the American Petroleum Institute reported there are over 145,000 gas stations in the United States alone.
The relatively low number of superchargers is a main reason for the long lines electric car owners are forced to endure. If they are on the road away from home, they have no choice but to wait in these lines, no matter how long it takes.
In March, a Texas woman named Candace London Metz filmed a similar video of electric vehicles waiting to be charged, KTAL-TV reported.
US: A woman from Louisiana filmed a long line of Teslas waiting to charge their cars. It takes over an hour to charge each electric vehicle and the closest charging station is over 100 miles away. pic.twitter.com/eEM9mro1Ba

Metz said she spoke to one woman in line who said it usually takes about 30 minutes to charge her vehicle. However, she said the chargers were taking about an hour to charge vehicles because they were overworked.
These are just two examples of a massive problem with electric vehicles in the United States, and it is not the only issue plaguing the EV industry.
In addition to charging woes, electric vehicle fires have proven to be extremely dangerous. An example of this fact happened in June, a Tesla that had been sitting at a wrecking yard in Sacramento, California, for three weeks burst into flames.
Firefighters attempted to put out the fire, but it continued reigniting in the battery compartment. Eventually, firefighters were forced to dig a pit for the car and fill it with water to extinguish the flame.
Crews arrived to our first Tesla fire. It was involved in an accident 3 wks ago, and was parked in a wrecking yard. Crews knocked the fire down but it kept reigniting/off-gassing in the battery compartment. Crews created a pit, placed the car inside, and filled the pit with water pic.twitter.com/Lz5b5770lO

There is nothing inherently wrong with electric vehicles, and there may come a time when the United States is ready to transition to them full-time. With that said, the infrastructure to support this shift needs to be put in place first.
By pushing a shift to electric vehicles before taking the necessary steps to prepare for it, Biden is just causing more problems for the country.

Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais flashes a hint of her midriff in a white crop top as she poses with the singer while mural is installed at his studio
Noel Gallagher and his daughter Anais posed for a portrait as artists The Postman installed a larger than life mural at his North London Studio last Tuesday.
The singer, 55, cut a casual figure in a navy T-shirt with a white POP motif and grey trousers while the 22-year-old flashed a hint of her midriff in a white crop top.
She continued her ensemble with a pair of faded jeans which she layered beneath a navy sports jacket, while posing with her famous father.
Noel has been collecting the work of Brighton based artists The Postman for some time.
This commission consists of five of Noel's favourite musicians - Bob Dylan, Andy Weatherall, David Bowie, John Lydon, John Lennon and Mr Manchester - Tony Wilson.
The Postman collaborate with renowned photographers whose shots are used the create the artworks.
Noel hailed Glastonbury as 'the only festival of the arts in the world' as he took to the stage with his band High Flying Birds at Worthy Farm on Saturday.
Speaking ahead of performing at the festival for the fourth time, the former Oasis star revealed he enjoys the event because it doesn't have a 'corporate tie-in' having performed at an array of festivals during his career.
Noel's performance came as fans at the festival were preparing to watch Paul McCartney's headline show, with the 80-year-old Beatle becoming the oldest star in history to grace the iconic Pyramid Stage.
Noel chatted to Dermot O'Leary on his BBC Radio 2 show ahead of taking to the Glastonbury stage for the fourth time, with the singer asked why he keeps coming back to the annual event.
He said: 'It is the only festival in the world, in the truest sense of the word, I've done them all, they're all big gigs in fields, sponsored by tech companies. This is the only one where it's a festival of the arts.
'You can watch a film, see a comedian, you can go to a knitting circle. I'm telling you, I've done them all and some of them have their own merits, but this is the one that stands out in the entire world. It's an amazing thing and it's one of the great things about this country.'
'I come here more often than I play here, I've played here five times but I come every year, it affects your experience when you come to hang out because you're not being handed flyers being trying to sold insurance.
'You bump into the locals here, you know, you bump into the locals here, a fella with a sailor's hat on and a woman carrying a picture of a pet that died 30 years ago saying, 'Ooh this is my little ruffy boy, he died this time last year,' and you're like, ''Ok, do you know where the John Peel tent is?''.'
Noel also revealed that this is the first time his daughter Anais would be attending the festival, and he advised her to see 'one thing in the day and one thing in the night, and just wander around.'
While it was Noel's fourth show at Glastonbury, it marked the first time he takes to the stage with his band Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
He first took to the stage at the festival alongside brother Liam, 49, with Oasis back in 1994, before headlining the following year, and later returning in 2004. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2654044387738/noel-gallagher-s-daughter-anais-flashes-a-hint-of-her-midriff-in-a-white-crop-top-as-she-poses-with-the-singer-while-mural-is-installed-at-his-studio | 2022-07-06T07:43:59Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2654044387738/noel-gallagher-s-daughter-anais-flashes-a-hint-of-her-midriff-in-a-white-crop-top-as-she-poses-with-the-singer-while-mural-is-installed-at-his-studio | true | 3 |

REMINGTON, Va. (AP) — For years, there's been a cardinal rule for flying civilian drones: Keep them within your line of sight. Not just because it's a good idea — it's also the law.
But some drones have recently gotten permission to soar out of their pilots' sight. They can now inspect high-voltage power lines across the forested Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia. They're tracking endangered sea turtles off Florida's coast and monitoring seaports in the Netherlands and railroads from New Jersey to the rural West.
Aviation authorities in the U.S. and elsewhere are preparing to relax some of the safeguards they imposed to regulate a boom in off-the-shelf consumer drones over the past decade. Businesses want simpler rules that could open your neighborhood's skies to new commercial applications of these low-flying machines, although privacy advocates and some airplane and balloon pilots remain wary.
For now, a small but growing group of power companies, railways and delivery services like Amazon are leading the way with special permission to fly drones “beyond visual line of sight.” As of early July, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration had approved 230 such waivers — one of them to Virginia-based Dominion Energy for inspecting its network of power plants and transmission lines.
“This is the first step of what everybody’s expecting with drones," said Adam Lee, Dominion's chief security officer. "The first time in our nation’s history where we’ve now moved out into what I think everyone’s expecting is coming.”
That expectation — of small drones with little human oversight delivering packages, assessing home insurance claims or buzzing around on nighttime security patrols — has driven the FAA's work this year to craft new safety guidelines meant to further integrate drones into the national airspace.
The FAA said it is still reviewing how it will roll out routine operations enabling some drones to fly beyond visual line of sight, although it it has signaled that the permissions will be reserved for commercial applications, not hobbyists.
“Our ultimate goal is you shouldn’t need a waiver for this process at all. It becomes an accepted practice,” said Adam Bry, CEO of California drone-maker Skydio, which is supplying its drones to Dominion, railroad company BNSF and other customers with permission to fly beyond line of sight.
“The more autonomous the drones become, the more they can just be instantly available anywhere they could possibly be useful,” Bry said.
Part of that involves deciding how much to trust that drones won't crash into people or other aircraft when their operators aren't looking. Other new rules will require drones to carry remote identification — like an electronic license plate — to track their whereabouts. And in the aftermath of Russia's war in Ukraine — where both sides have used small consumer drones to target attacks — the White House has been pushing a parallel effort to counter the potential malicious use of drones in the U.S.
At a gas-fired plant in Remington, Virginia, which helps power some of Washington's suburbs, a reporter with The Associated Press watched in June as Dominion Energy drone pilots briefly lost visual line of sight of their inspection drone as it flew around the backside of a large fuel tank and the top of a smoke stack.
That wouldn't have been legally possible without Dominion's recently approved FAA waiver. And it wouldn't have been technically possible without advancements in collision-avoidance technology that are enabling drones to fly closer to buildings.
Previously, “you would have to erect scaffolding or have people go in with a bucket truck,” said Nate Robie, who directs the drone program at Dominion. “Now you can go in on a 20-minute flight.”
Not everyone is enthused about the pending rules. Pilots of hot air balloons and other lightweight aircraft warn that crashes will follow if the FAA allows largely autonomous delivery drones the right of way at low altitudes.
"These drones cannot see where they are flying and are blind to us," said a June call to action from the Balloon Federation of America.
Broader concerns come from civil liberties groups that say protecting people’s privacy should be a bigger priority.
“There is a greater chance that you’ll have drones flying over your house or your backyard as these beyond-visual-line-of-sight drone operations increase,” said Jeramie Scott, a senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center who sat on the FAA's advisory group working to craft new drone rules. “It’ll be much harder to know who to complain to.”
EPIC and other groups dissented from the advisory group's early recommendations and are calling for stronger privacy and transparency requirements — such as an app that could help people identify the drones above them and what data they are collecting.
“If you want to fly beyond visual line of sight, especially if you are commercial, the public has a right to know what you’re flying, what data you are collecting,” said Andrés Arrieta, director of consumer privacy engineering at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “It seems like such a low bar.”

Supreme Court Asks Maryland, Virginia Governors to Put an End to Regular Protests Outside of Justice's Homes
The private residences of Supreme Court justices have become the scenes of regular protests this summer, with leftists objecting to the end of Roe v. Wade.
The court has had enough of the protests, and the body’s chief security officer is turning to two state governors to end them.
Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley sent letters to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Friday.
“For weeks on end, large groups of protesters chanting slogans, using bullhorns and banging drums have picketed Justices’ homes,” Curley wrote in the letter, according to the New York Post.
“You recently stated that you were ‘deeply concerned’ that ‘hundreds of demonstrators have recently chosen to picket Supreme Court Justices at their homes in … Maryland,’ while using ‘threatening language’ — jeopardizing ‘the integrity of our American judicial system and the safety of our citizen,” the marshal wrote to Gov. Hogan. “Since then, protest activity at justices’ homes, as well as threatening activity, has only increased.”
She went on to cite existing state and local statutes that bar protests outside private residences.
Curley says some of the protests have included raucous crowds of as many as 100 people, and that they keep going well into the night.
Youngkin welcomed the marshal’s request, calling upon county officials in Montgomery County to enforce relevant laws, according to Voice of America.
“The governor remains in regular contact with the justices themselves and holds their safety as an utmost priority. He is in contact with state and local officials on the marshal’s request for assistance and will continue to engage on the issue of the justice’s safety,” spokesman Christian Martinez said.
Youngkin had earlier called upon the county to enforce a security perimeter outside of Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home.
A spokesman for Hogan said that Maryland’s governor planned to “further review enforcement options that respect the First Amendment and the Constitution.”
The legality of the home protests has been scrutinized, with some pointing to the events as federal crimes.
Attorney General Merrick Garland eventually condemned the harassing protests after a bipartisan chorus of members of Congress urged him to take action.
An armed man was arrested outside Kavanaugh’s home after an abortive assassination attempt.
United States Marshals present at the scene deterred Kavanaugh’s would-be assassin from attacking the home. The man faces an attempted murder charge for his plan to carry out a hit on the judge.
Neighbors of Justice Amy Coney Barrett have expressed their exasperation with the events, objecting to their suburban block being turned into a political battleground.
Protests are not just taking place at the homes of these justices. A group of pro-abortion activists nearly broke inside the Arizona Capitol in a protest event following the ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.
The group defaced several World War II and veteran’s monuments, but local authorities indicated no arrests were made shortly after the event.

Couple fined $1500 for parking in their own driveway
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) - A San Francisco couple was threatened with a $1,500 fine for using the carpad outside their home to park, despite the fact they’d been doing so for decades.
Judy and Ed Craine live on a steep hill in San Francisco, where parking can be a gravity-defying challenge. But they could slip into their driveway and park on their carpad, which they’d been doing every day for the past 36 years.
“To all of a sudden be told you can’t use something that we had used for years, it’s startling,” Ed Craine said.
Seemingly out of the blue, the Craines got a ticket for parking in their own driveway. It came with an enormous fine of $1,542, plus another $250 per day if they didn’t move the car.
“We got this email [saying] we can’t park in the parking pad anymore. I said, ‘What? That’s crazy,’” Ed Craine said. “We’ve been parking in that driveway every day and every night.”
The couple thought it was a mistake, but the ticket came from the city’s Planning Department, telling them it’s illegal to park in the front yard of a house.
“If we were found parking there again, it would be a $1,500 fine,” Judy Craine said.
The Craines quickly moved the car off the parking pad, but none of it made sense.
“Why are you taking away something that has great utility, not just to us but our neighbors that want parking spaces?” Ed Craine said.
As far as the couple could tell, the space had been used for parking since the house was built back in 1910. The Planning Department said if the Craines could prove that parking was a historic use on the lot, they might get a waiver.
“We could be grandfathered in if we show them a historical photo that showed a car or a horse-drawn buggy in the carport,” Judy Craine said.
After combing through hundreds of historic photos, the couple found an aerial photo from 1938 that shows their home and what Ed Craine believes is a car or horse-and-buggy pulling into the driveway.
“To me, it’s pretty compelling that was a car,” he said. “So, this little black blob looks like it’s pulling into our house.”
The Planning Department said the photo was not clear evidence.
Officials say the couple was violating a code section banning vehicles in a setback in front of a house, though it’s OK to park in front of a garage.
Planning Chief Dan Sider said it was enacted decades ago for aesthetic reasons to “ensure that front yards don’t turn into parking lots.” He said someone made an anonymous complaint to the city about the Craines. Two neighbors also got tagged for the same violation.
“I recognize that the property owner is frustrated… But the planning code doesn’t allow for the city to grandfather illegal uses on account of their having flown below the radar for a length of time,” wrote Sider in an email.
For now, the carpad sits empty, as the Craines struggle to park on the hill. The only other thing they can do now is build a covered carport or garage.
“This feels really unfair and like we’re being punished,” Judy Craine said.
Officials canceled the couple’s fine once they moved their vehicle off the carpad.

The Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiving corps has been ranked 25th in the NFL by Pro Football Focus ahead of the 2022 season.
“Michael Pittman Jr. quietly had a very impressive second season out of USC for the Colts in 2021, improving his PFF receiving grade from 62.3 as a rookie to 79.9 last year. He’s an impressive route-runner, especially for his size, and excelled in contested-catch situations (18 of 28) last year. Matt Ryan’s effectiveness throwing between the numbers and targeting the intermediate range should only help Pittman next season.”
“The rest of Indianapolis’ receiving corps has a lot of question marks. Rookie wide receiver Alec Pierce should help stretch the field, and the Colts are hoping to finally get a healthy season out of Parris Campbell. It projects to be a physically imposing group, if nothing else.”
Additionally, PFF ranked each wide receiver unit into tiers, and Indianapolis’ unit falls under the tier of “Could be a strength or a weakness.”
When looking at the Colts’ roster, their receiving corps stands out as one of the NFL’s youngest and most inexperienced, which is likely why PFF has them ranked so low.
Michael Pittman Jr., fresh off his best season as a pro, has emerged as the team’s No. 1 wideout going forward, but the rest of the unit brings some uncertainty.
Parris Campbell, when healthy, has shown flashes of what he can bring to Indy’s offense. But the former second-round pick has just 15 career starts since being drafted in 2019.
Ashton Dulin produced 173 receiving yards and two touchdowns in limited action last season, and Alec Pierce, the team’s second-round pick this year, is a rookie who has yet to play a snap in the NFL.
Adding a veteran to the mix hasn’t been ruled out completely, and it may be in the Colts’ best interest to bring in a receiver with more experience under their belt.
With these things in mind, the Colts, at least for now, appear to be content with their current wideout room. | https://www.stampedeblue.com/2022/7/5/23191394/pff-ranks-colts-receiving-corps-25th-ahead-of-2022-season | 2022-07-06T08:03:40Z | https://www.stampedeblue.com/2022/7/5/23191394/pff-ranks-colts-receiving-corps-25th-ahead-of-2022-season | true | 1 |

The farmers of Tamil Nadu have urged the Centre to release funds for the repair of 37 dams in the state.
The state government had promised the farmers that the dams would be restored and repaired at an estimated cost of Rs 610.26 crore under the Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement -2 (DRIP-2) scheme. However, the project has hit a roadblock following lack of funds with the State Water Resources Department.
The farmers association of Tamil Nadu, Vivasayigal Munnetra Kazhagam in a statement on Wednesday said that the repair of dams is important for the proper flow of water which in turn helps the farms irrigated as well as cattle and people get drinking water.
K. Balasubramani, general secretary of Vivasayigal Munnetra Kazhagam, while speaking to IANS pointed out: “Farmers are struggling to receive water due to poor infrastructure. This, has affected mainly the farmers in the southern parts of the state and the tail end of the Cauvery belt. The farmers complain that with the flow of water restricted or rather not available, the lands have turned barren”.
The farmers association leader also said that the present state government had even scrapped a promise made by the previous government to open a check dam between Vangal and Nerur for irrigation purposes.
Balasubramani alleged that the farmer associations and individual farmers have petitioned the present government against this but to no avail.
The farmer leader said that proper dam maintenance was required for the proper flow of water and to ensure drinking water, irrigation, flood control, hydropower, and help recharge groundwater.
He also asserted that with the bushes growing the canals, the flow of water is hindered and requested the Union government to provide funds for the state to restore and repair dams and to ensure a free flow of water.
The farmer leader called upon the Centre to allocate required funds for the maintenance and repair of dams.

Less than 3% of over 85s in Brussels have received a 4th corona vaccine jab
Fewer than 3% of people over the age of 85 in the Brussels-Capital Region have received an additional (4th) corona vaccine booster jab. This compares to 56% in Flanders. The virologist Marc Van Ranst calls on the authorities in Brussels to do more to encourage elderly and vulnerable people in the capital to get a 4th jab.
Last week the various regional health ministers called on Belgians to get a (3rd) booster jab if they had not already. Those with weak immune systems and the over 65s were asked to get a second booster jab that (in most cases) would bring the total number of doses of coronavirus vaccine that they had received to four.
There are big regional differences in uptake of the second booster jab. In Flanders almost 17% of those aged between 65 and 85 have been given a fourth dose of coronavirus vaccine. In Brussels this is below 4%.
The difference is even more marked among those over the age of 85. In Flanders 56% of people that are 85 and older have received a fourth dose, while in Brussels this is less than 3%. Uptake in Wallonia is similar to that in Brussels.
One explanation could be that Flanders started its campaign for the fourth dose earlier. The virologist Professor Marc Van Ranst says that this is similar to the situation at the start of the vaccination campaign last year.
"Then there were also big differences in vaccination levels between the regions. Above all Brussels had a very low vaccination rate then”. The capital closed at least some of the gap later. The regional authorities were able to do this thanks to the use of vaccination busses and dozens of local vaccination points.
Professor Van Ranst told the Brussels regional news platform Bruzz that this will need to be repeated if booster jab uptake in the capital is to be improved. Once again, the virologist stressed the importance of vaccination. “We’re sick of the virus, but the virus is not sick of us”. | https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2022/06/27/less-than-3-of-over-85s-in-brussels-have-received-a-4th-corona/ | 2022-07-06T08:15:22Z | https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2022/06/27/less-than-3-of-over-85s-in-brussels-have-received-a-4th-corona/ | true | 1 |
Two Belgians apprehended after bold robbery at Maastricht art fair
The TEFAF art fair in Maastricht (Netherlands) has been the scene of a bold armed robbery. Police arrested two suspects on the nearby motorway, two other suspects are still on the run. Nobody got injured, but the thieves managed to seize jewels.
The theft took place just before noon. Footage shows how thieves try to smash windows with sledgehammers to seize the jewellery behind it. The four men (some of which were armed, though it can't be confirmed whether they were carrying real weapons and of which type) managed to get away. However, two of them were arrested on the A2 motorway nearby. The two were fleeing in a car bearing a Belgian number plate and are said to be 22 and 26 years old. Two other suspects are still on the run.
Visitors of the fair did not get injured but some were in shock and were offered psychological assistance. The fair was evacuated at first, but reopened later.
The TEFAF fair is internationally renowned in the antique and arts world, attracting visitors from all over the world. | https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2022/06/28/two-belgians-apprehended-after-bold-robbery-at-maastricht-art-fa/ | 2022-07-06T08:16:25Z | https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2022/06/28/two-belgians-apprehended-after-bold-robbery-at-maastricht-art-fa/ | false | 1 |
Western Alaska Minerals Announces Initial Drill Results At Its Highgrade Carbonate Replacement Deposit
TUCSON, July 5, 2022 - Western Alaska Minerals (the "Company" or "WAM") is pleased to announce visual observations from this summer's first 13 drill holes at its high-grade Waterpump Creek carbonate replacement deposit ("CRD") target at its 100%-owned Illinois Creek project in western Alaska.
Initial Results
The Company is pleased to report significant massive sulfide intercepts in drill holes WPC22-07, WPC22-08, WPC22-011 and WPC22-13. The intercepts encountered show massive sphalerite and argentiferous galena in a matrix of secondary dolomite similar to that seen in previous 2021 drilling. Table 1 highlights the massive sulfide intervals encountered to-date (June 28th). All assays are pending.
Photos 1 thru 6 are images of both massive sulfide intervals encountered in WPC22-07 along with a series of photos highlighting mineralization textures.
Photos 7 thru 9 are images of massive sulfide mineralization encountered in WPC22-08.
Photos 10 thru 12 are images of massive sulfide mineralization encountered in WPC22-11.
-While the Company finds these visual results to be encouraging, it cautions that the significance of the observations reported here will not be known until assays are received and reviewed. There is not a resource estimate for Waterpump Creek and the presence or absence of an economically viable orebody cannot be determined until significant additional work is completed.-
The focus of initial 2022 drilling at Waterpump Creek has been twofold: 1) to begin expansion of the mineralized footprint and 2) to develop basic ore controls and trends of the bonanza high-grade mineralization recognized in 2021. (Drill hole WPC21-09, previously released in 2021, reported a massive sulfide interval of 10.5-meter (9.1 meters true thickness) grading 526 g/t Ag, 22.5% Zn and 14.4% Pb.) Initial drilling down-dip of WPC21-09 shows a major roll over (drag fold?) of the dolomite stratigraphy into the high angle to vertical N to NNE-trending Waterpump Creek structure. Initial holes drilled in 2022 were east of the structure and did not encounter mineralization. Subsequent drilling along strike to the south of the WPC21-09 intercept shows mineralization occurs as massive carbonate replacement (CRD) mineralization within the footwall dolomite immediately west of the Waterpump Creek structure.
The mineralization forms a rod-like body roughly 30-60+ meters wide plunging gently to the south at the flexure in the dolomite. The overall architecture of the Waterpump Creek structure looks graben-like with the apparent down-drop of the overlying schist package into the dolomite.
Due to the sharp boundary between mineralized massive sulfide and un-mineralized dolomite (characteristic of CRD deposits), drill spacing has been tightened to a 25-meter grid in order to effectively target the resource expansion to the south. Current drilling is just over 100 meters south of the WPC21-09 and progressing south on 25-meter profiles.
In addition to the ongoing 2 rig drill program, a major system-wide CSAMT (controlled-source audio-magnetotellurics) program has just finished data collection covering the roughly 8 km distance between the Illinois Creek oxide mineralization, the Last Hurrah area and the Waterpump Creek target area. Inversion modeling of the CSAMT sections is ongoing.
Importantly, preliminary results show a complex interplay of stacked thrusts and high-angle syn- and possibly post-mineral faulting. The Waterpump Creek structure which appears to be the major ore control at Waterpump Creek is apparent over at least 6 km of strike within the CSAMT sections south from Waterpump Creek through Last Hurrah to just east of the major East Illinois Creek manto/gossan.
In addition to the Waterpump Creek structural zone, numerous other targets are apparent in the initial inversions. More definitive targeting and targeting discussion will be forthcoming as the data is totally processed.
The qualified person who reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this release is Stuart Morris, P. Geo., a qualified person as defined under NI43-101.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control of drill sample assay results will be independently monitored through a quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC") protocol which includes the insertion of blind standard reference materials, blanks, and duplicates at regular intervals.
All logging and sampling is completed at WAM's core handling facilities located at the Illinois Creek mine camp in Alaska. Drill core is logged under an established procedure using Geospark commercial logging software, then diamond sawn on site. Half drill-core samples are then securely transported to ALS facilities in Fairbanks, Alaska from Illinois Creek under a strict chain of custody protocol. Sample pulps are then sent to ALS's lab in Vancouver, Canada, for analysis. Gold content is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with ICP finish. Silver, lead, copper, and zinc along with other elements are analyzed by ICP methods utilizing a four-acid digestion. Over-limit samples for silver, lead, copper, and zinc are determined by ore-grade titration analyses. ALS Inc. is independent of Western Alaska Minerals and its affiliates.
ALS also performs its own internal QA/QC procedures to assure the accuracy and integrity of results. Parameters for ALS' internal and WAM' external blind quality control samples are acceptable for the samples analyzed. WAM is unaware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
WAM began trading as a Tier 1 company listed on the TSX-V in November, 2021, and maintains corporate offices in Alaska and Arizona. WAM has reassembled and fully controls all claims in the historic Illinois Creek Mining District located in western Alaska near the Yukon River, covering 55,360 acres (86.5 square miles). This district was originally discovered by Anaconda Minerals Co. in the early 1980's. Since 2010, WAM and its private precursory company Western Alaska Copper & Gold Inc. has been engaged in exploring and advancing its interests in the district and now controls a diversified portfolio of five deposits that contain gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.

Four suspects detained after theft of 350,000-euro watch
Four suspects have been detained after the bold robbery of a super-expensive watch belonging to businessman Bart Versluys and another, similar robbery. Detectives are also trying to establish a link with two violent home invasions in Sint-Amandsberg near Ghent.
Real estate tycoon Bart Versluys was robbed in the Zandvoordestraat in Ostend on 1 April. His assailants threatened him with a gun and used pepperspray. The victim was also beaten as the gangsters robbed him of his Richard Mille watch worth about 350,000 euros. Versluys promised a financial compensation for anyone with decent tips.
The facts are similar to another bold robbery in Antwerp, where businessman Miguel Dheedene was surprised by two attackers in the Zwijgerstraat in March. His Patek Pilippe watch worth 180,000 euros was stolen.
Four suspects have now been detained by the Ghent judicial authorities. A possible link with two home invasions in the Ghent area is also being investigated. | https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2022/06/29/suspects-detained-after-theft-of-350-000-euro-watch/ | 2022-07-06T08:17:03Z | https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2022/06/29/suspects-detained-after-theft-of-350-000-euro-watch/ | false | null |
From reality TV to real-life fairy tale. After navigating tragedy and handing out roses, Emily Maynard Johnson found The One in Tyler Johnson.
Before her time in Bachelor Nation, the North Carolina native was engaged to NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick. Following his untimely death in a plane crash at age 24, Maynard Johnson learned she was pregnant. She gave birth to daughter Josephine Riddick “Ricki” Hendrick in June 2005.
“We were mad at each other. And it didn’t end well. I had no idea that that would be the last time I would see him,” she wrote in her 2016 memoir about her late fiancé. “For days after the crash, I wish I’d died, too. … I just kept on looking forward to June 29th because that was the day I got a piece of Ricky back.”
Seven years later, the former event planner won Brad Womack’s season of The Bachelor. The twosome called off their engagement in June 2011, several months after the finale aired.
“You see it on TV. And there’s this … beautiful music playing. It just looks so romantic and warm. But when you’re actually in the moment, it’s not that way at all. It’s so quiet. And it’s actually quite awkward, which should have been warning sign No. 5,000,” she told ABC News in 2016 about the proposal. “But I just chose to ignore it.”
ABC subsequently named Maynard Johnson the season 8 Bachelorette and she accepted a proposal from Jef Holm. Not long after the season aired during summer 2012, the pair announced their breakup that October.
“You don’t get engaged to somebody and then say, ‘Oh hey, Ricki, this is Jef. We just got engaged,’” she told ABC in 2016. “It just didn’t feel right. Nothing about it felt right.”
It wasn’t long before Maynard Johnson was in love again, however, as she reconnected with Johnson, whom she first crossed paths with pre-show.
“I met him at church before I did The Bachelorette, he really wanted nothing to do with me. I told my girlfriend I met this guy and he could, like, not be less attracted to me, he was in the friend zone,” she recalled on Good Morning America in 2017.
The automotive management consultant proposed in January 2014 after one year of dating. At the time, the reality star joked to People that the engagement would be “my last,” explaining, “I really mean it. I’m actually making it to the marriage part this time!”
Maynard Johnson told Us Weekly at the time that her man gave her daughter a piece of jewelry too.
“He proposed to me at home and gave both Ricki and me rings. It was so sweet! Ricki loves him more than she likes me!” she said.
The couple exchanged vows in June 2014 and have welcomed four children together.

#Kolkata: The Bankuli family had a daily marital quarrel, though not new to the neighbors, but residents of the Kankurgachhi Main Road area were shocked by the incident on Tuesday night. The unrest between Uttam and Berry had been going on as usual since Tuesday morning, and the quarrel between the husband and wife reached its climax around 8 pm. In a moment, Uttam and Berry came out on the street to quarrel.
The quarrel started in front of a shop called Gita Stores in Kankurgachhi Main Road area. Neighbors were a little surprised, but no one listened. Suddenly, the residents of Kankurgachhi Main Road cut off the rhythm of his wife’s screams. The locals came running and saw Baby Bankuli lying on the ground in a bloody state.
On his right side, blood gurgled near his neck. A sharp knife in the hand of Uttam Bankuli Baby’s husband. Seeing this incident, excitement spread in the area.
Baby’s son Abhishek Bankuli informed the Phulbagan police station about the incident. When Baby Bankuli was taken to the hospital, the doctors declared her dead. Meanwhile, Berib’s husband went to the North Bankuli police station and informed the on-duty police officer that he had killed his wife. Accused Swami Uttam also handed over a sharp knife to the police while talking about surrendering after the murder. Meanwhile, after giving all the information about the incident to the police officer, Uttam said that after the murder, he wanted to commit suicide by consuming pesticides, so he ate pesticides himself.
Police immediately rushed Uttam to a private hospital on the side of the bypass. According to police sources, Uttam Bankuli’s physical condition is now stable. According to local sources, Khabar Baby did a little work but did not do any good work. Unrest was their daily routine. Besides taking Uttam’s statement, the Phulbagan police officer wanted to know whether it was a marital quarrel or some other reason behind the murder.

As a flight attendant for three years, I travelled the world. It was amazing to be paid to lie on a beach in Rio De Janeiro but the best thing about flying was that in my downtime in foreign cities, I could buy all the skincare and makeup I wanted that was never available in the UK. Milk Makeup ? Already tried it years ago in a Sephora in downtown Chicago (it's only just launched in the UK). Jaclyn Hill's Becca highlighter? I bought it in a Miami mall and hit pan before any of my friends had even heard about it.
While I purchased all the makeup in the world (literally) I hadn't found a decent cleanser to take it off with, something gentle, effective and calming for my parched and suffering flight attendant skin.
Enter Collosol Eau De Lait.
During a trip to Paris, I got to talking with a passenger about our Parisian sister's skincare and told her how dehydrated my face was from up to 15 flights a month. She recommended Collosol as the ultimate in cleansing without stripping the skin. I'd never look back, she said. Out went my abrasive cleansing scrubs and in their place came this balmy milk. I'd regularly fly to the French capital with work and stocking up wasn't a problem, but since my flying career ended, I couldn't quite justify a trip to Paris for a cleanser...could I?
But now the cult-status skincare saviour that French women swear by has finally reached the UK. It's a 'water milk' face and body cleanser that can be used in a number of ways. Dilute a few capfuls in the bath for skin softening waves or apply to a cotton pad and smooth over the face, neck and decolletage without rinsing for soft, clean skin. Containing key ingredients for hydration such as glycerin and castor oil, the paraben-free formula is suitable for all skin types and was initially created to be used on babies.
MORE GLOSS: Should you hydrate with oil or cream?
It can also be used as a makeup remover, though I would steer clear of using it around the eye area, as the fragrance could lead to irritation. The liquid is a milky white and once applied to the skin, soaks in to give comfort, softness and hydration. Chanel's powerhouse Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld told Elle how he enjoys a whole bottle a day for his bath. "My bathtub is very big, so I use a full bottle of Collosol every day...The maids pour it in crystal bottles so I don't have the plastic out."
While we just recover from that vision of Karl in a bathtub ministered to by maids with crystal bottles, we can also relish the fact that this product is a mere £9.50. Interestingly, Eau De Lait is the only product that Collosol actually makes.
My personal favourite way to use this product is to apply a few drops to a cotton round and slather all over face, neck and decolletage as a second cleanse. A little goes a long way too, so you can easily get a few months' use from a single bottle, unless you are Karl and bathe in the stuff daily. It's great because it's so many products in one, a great space saver while travelling and effective but affordable.
Although I love this product, it won't suit everyone. It contains a hefty dose of fragrance and if you react to added 'parfum' in your skincare, avoid this. But if you like a powdery, floral scent during your cleanse then you may love this as much as I do.
Collosol is available NOW at John Bell & Croyden and thefrenchpharmacy.co | https://www.getthegloss.com/beauty/skincare/french-skincare-favourite-finally-launches-in-the-uk | 2022-07-06T08:43:01Z | https://www.getthegloss.com/beauty/skincare/french-skincare-favourite-finally-launches-in-the-uk | false | 1 |
Thousands of people evacuated due to flooding in Sydney, Australia | News
More than 30,000 residents in and around Sydney have been ordered to evacuate or prepare to leave their homes as Australia’s largest city braces for what could be its worst flooding in 18 months.
CMIO.org in sequence:
Chinese, Australian defense ministers meet in Singapore
“The latest information we have is that there is a very good chance that the flooding will be worse than any of the other three that those areas have had in the last 18 months,” Minister for Emergency Management Murray Watt told Australian Broadcasting. Corp.
The almost 70 evacuation orders affect several areas of western Sydney, where the Hawkesbury, Nepean and Colo rivers continue to rise, especially after the more than 100 millimeters of rain that have fallen since Sunday along a 200-kilometre stretch. from the river.
Some areas in the state of New South Wales (in southeastern Australia) have received a month’s worth of rain in the past two days, causing rivers to overflow and forcing Sydney’s main dam, the Warragamba Dam. , to overflow.
“This is a life-threatening emergency situation,” Stephanie Cooke, Minister for Emergency Services for the state of New South Wales, told reporters.
With worsening weather expected in the coming days, Cooke described the flooding as a “rapidly evolving situation” and warned people to be “prepared to evacuate at any time”.
Flooding last March and April in New South Wales and southeastern Queensland state resulted in 4.8 billion Australian dollars ($3.3 billion) in insured losses, the Insurance Council of Australia estimated.
Flooding in Australia’s most populous state has become the new normal, as residents of the Sydney metropolitan area grapple with increasingly erratic seasonal changes.
The area, which is home to 8.12 million people, or about a third of the country’s total population, has always experienced some degree of flooding during the early summer months.
Premier Anthony Albanese urged NSW residents to keep checking for updates from the Bureau of Meteorology and stay safe as the situation continues to develop.

With roads getting busier it is important that motorists know the steps to take should the worst happen. The experts at National Scrap Car have put together the eight steps to remember after a car crash.
1. Stop the car
Even if you think the car accident is minor, the first and most important thing you must do if you have a car accident is stop your car immediately unless it is unsafe to do so. (pictured below)
Failing to stop after a car accident is against the law under the Road Traffic Act which could land you a fine, penalty points or a driving ban, and in some cases sentenced to six months in prison.
Once you have stopped, you should ensure your car’s engine is switched off and hazard lights are switched on to alert other drivers of your presence.
2. Check for injuries
Once you’ve stopped the car in a safe place, you should check yourself and any of your passengers for injuries first.
If it’s a minor collision with no injuries, always be sure to make a note of it just in case the others involved try to claim for injuries later on.
3. Call for police
No matter how minor the accident is, you need to report your accident to the police within 24 hours to avoid any unnecessary fines, penalty points or in extreme cases disqualification from driving.
4. Exchange details
When you are involved in an accident you are obliged to give your details. If you cannot for whatever reason give them there and then, you must give them to the police 24 hours after.
The following details need to be shared with all involved parties:
By law you must share your name and address with everyone involved if the accident has caused damage or injury
Your contact details such as a mobile phone number and/or an email address
Your insurance details. This includes who you are insured with and your policy number. If someone has been injured, they may ask to see your certificate of insurance
You may also need to show your driving licence or driving licence number which you can check online using your National Insurance Number.
You should also take down details of any witnesses to the accident.
Don’t forget you also need the other driver’s details as well. This information is required by your insurance company to process any claims.
5. Record as much detail as possible about the incident
Shock and adrenaline can make us forget important details of the accident that the police or insurance company may need from you. It is therefore important that you try and take down as much detail as possible about the accident.
You should record the make, model, colour and number plate of all the vehicles involved and if possible take pictures of both the full vehicles and the damage that may have occurred. The photo evidence will help when it comes to making insurance claims and ensure all damage is correctly reported by the other party.
6. Try to remain as calm as possible
This may seem easier said than done and it is more than normal to feel shaken up after an accident, your heart rate is going to increase and your adrenaline is going to surge. However, it is vital you remain calm after an accident, if we let adrenaline and panic take over, it can make us a less logical decision-maker and interfere with perceptions.
After an accident it’s important you think rationally and not reactively about the situation allowing you to make a more logical and careful next move. The last thing you want is to become aggressive or angry with others involved.
7. Make a claim
You should ideally phone your insurance company at the time of the accident but if this is not possible, be sure to do so as soon as possible. The insurance companies involved will decide who is to blame and the costs involved. If you were at fault, then your insurance company will pay out for the damage repairs and compensation if the other party was injured and you will have to pay the excess on your policy.
You will need to provide them with the following information, so it might be a good idea to have this with you in the car at all times so it is to hand.
The other vehicle driver’s name, address, phone number and insurance details
Number of vehicles involved and their registration numbers.
8. Repairing your vehicle
It is ultimately your decision on how you wish to repair your vehicle and who you wish to carry out the repairs after an accident and you may have a few options to choose from.
When it comes to repairing your vehicle after an accident, insurers are no longer able to force you to use their mechanics to make the repairs and must still pay-out if you choose a garage of your own. Once you have received a quote from the garage, your insurance company will need to authorise the work, you must make sure they authorise first to ensure you receive the pay-out.
If your insurance decides to write-off your car after an accident, it means the car is either damaged to the point in which it is no longer roadworthy or beyond the point that repairs make financial sense. | https://www.scotsman.com/read-this/8-vital-steps-to-take-after-a-traffic-road-collision-3757738 | 2022-07-06T08:45:42Z | https://www.scotsman.com/read-this/8-vital-steps-to-take-after-a-traffic-road-collision-3757738 | true | 16 |

Alleged July 4 shooter Robert Crimo evaded ‘red flag’ law
Crimo legally purchased a total of five guns in the state of Illinois, despite police regarding him as a ‘clear and present danger’
Highland Park — The man charged with killing seven people at a Chicago-area July 4 parade slipped past the safeguards of an Illinois “red flag” law designed to prevent people deemed to have violent tendencies from getting guns, officials revealed on Tuesday.
The disclosures raised questions about the adequacy of the state’s “red flag” laws even as a prosecutor lauded the system as “strong” during a news conference announcing seven first-degree murder charges against the 21-year-old suspect, Robert E Crimo III.
Sergeant Chris Covelli of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said earlier in the day that Crimo had legally purchased a total of five guns, including the suspected murder weapon, despite having come to law enforcement’s attention twice for behaviour suggesting he might harm himself or others.
The first instance was an April 2019 911 call reporting Crimo had attempted suicide, followed in September of that year by a police visit regarding alleged threats “to kill everyone” that he had directed at family members, Covelli said.
According to Covelli, police responding to the second incident seized a collection of 16 knives, a dagger and a sword from Crimo’s home in Highland Park, Illinois, the Chicago suburb where the shooting occurred on Monday. But no arrest was made as authorities at the time lacked probable cause to take him into custody, the sherif’s sergeant said.
“There were no complaints that were signed by any of the victims,” Covelli explained.
State attorney Eric Rinehart was at a loss to explain how Crimo could legally obtain weapons without his alleged threats and 'clear and present danger' report triggering 'red flag' measures.Reuters
Later on Tuesday came a separate statement from the Illinois State Police (ISP) recounting that the agency had received a report from Highland Park Police declaring Crimo a “clear and present danger” after the alleged threats against relatives in September 2019.
At the time, however, Crimo did not possess a state Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card that could be revoked or a pending FOID application to deny. So state police involvement in the matter was closed, the agency said.
State police also said no relative or anyone else was willing “to move forward with a formal complaint” or to provide “information on threats or mental health that would have allowed law enforcement to take additional action”.
Background checks passed
Three months later, at age 19, Crimo applied for his first FOID card, under his father’s sponsorship. But because no firearm restraining order or other court action against Crimo had ever been sought, “there was insufficient basis to establish a clear and present danger and deny the FOID application”, state police said.
Crimo passed four background checks in the purchase of his guns, all of them conducted in 2020 and 2021, well after the 2019 incidents that drew police attention, according to the state police.
State police said the only offence detected in Crimo’s criminal history during background checks was for unlawful possession of tobacco in 2016, and that “no mental health prohibiter reports” from healthcare providers ever surfaced.
The state police said that when officers who visited the family’s home over the alleged threats Crimo made in September 2019, they asked him “if he felt like harming himself or others” and that “he responded ‘no’”.
“Additionally and importantly, the father claimed the knives were his and they were being stored in [his son’s] closet for safekeeping”, state police said. “Based upon that information, the Highland Park Police returned the knives to the father later that afternoon.”
A number of US politicians in both parties have urged more widespread enactment and enforcement of “red flag” laws, which typically enable courts to issue restraining orders allowing authorities to confiscate firearms from individuals, or to prevent them from buying weapons, when they are deemed to pose a significant threat to themselves or others.
But Eric Rinehart, the state’s attorney who charged Crimo on Tuesday, was at a loss to explain how Crimo could be permitted to legally obtain weapons without the alleged 2019 threat and “clear and present danger” report triggering the state’s “red flag” measures.
Congress last month passed a national gun reform bill including provisions to provide federal funding to states that administer “red flag” statutes.

Fla refused the first proposal made by the Turks
While preparing for a season full of games and challenges, Fenerbahçe, owned by Jorge Jesus, who will be in the next Champions League, tried to improve their offer to count on the football of the midfielder. William Arão30 years old, who ended up losing ground after the arrival of Dorival Jr.
The Turkish club’s first proposal, to count on Arão, involved values around 3 million euros (R$ 16 million). However, Flamengo refused the offer from Jorge Jesus’ team, waiting for a proposal in excess of 3 million euros.
With Jorge Jesus at the forefront of the talks, Fenerbahçe prepares 5 million euros to count on Arão’s football. Fla is open for business, and Arão wants to leave the carioca club, amid Jorge Jesus’ desire to count on his football again.
With Jorge Jesus, Arão lived his best moment in his career and with the colors of Flamengo. The player was one of the main names in the operation of Flamengo’s game in times when the Portuguese coached in Brazil. Therefore, there is strong interest from Fenerbahçe in having the player.
More players can leave Flamengo
In addition to Arão, other names can leave Fla. Created by the club, Matheus França is target of Bayer, from Germany, and David Luiz may be leaving due to the high salary. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/06/fenerbahce-prepares-offer-of-r-27-million-for-important-flamengo-player-and-departure-is-approaching/ | 2022-07-06T09:08:12Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/06/fenerbahce-prepares-offer-of-r-27-million-for-important-flamengo-player-and-departure-is-approaching/ | false | 2 |
Amazon has announced a handful of new perks for Prime members ahead of Prime Day this month, including free deliveries from nearby restaurants. All Prime members in the US will now get access to a one-year Grubhub+ membership, which typically costs $10 a month, for free. Amazon used to have a restaurant delivery service of its own in an attempt to create a homegrown UberEats rival, but the company ultimately shut it down in the UK and the US. This time, it's teaming up with an established delivery service.
Grubhub+ members enjoy $0 food delivery fees, so long as their orders go over $12. They also get rewards that include free food and discounts on their orders. Prime subscribers can redeem their free Grubhub+ membership by going to the official perk page on Amazon, activating the offer and then sharing their Prime status with the delivery service. Even existing Grubhub+ users can claim the freebie, with their free year kicking in after their current billing cycle ends. People who cancel their Prime membership will also lose access to their free year of Grubhub+, while those who stick around will be charged $10 a month for the delivery service after 12 months.
This partnership is part of the commercial agreement Amazon has entered with Just Eat Takeaway.com, the Dutch parent company of Grubhub. Under the agreement, Amazon will receive stock warrants worth 2 percent of Grubhub’s fully-diluted common equity. Grubhub says it "continues to actively explore the partial or full sale" of the company, but whether Amazon will swoop in with an offer remains to be seen. For now, Grubhub expects this partnership to add more members to its subscription service.
Adam DeWitt, CEO of Grubhub, said in a statement:
"I am incredibly excited to announce this collaboration with Amazon that will help Grubhub continue to deliver on our long-standing mission to connect more diners with local restaurants. Amazon has redefined convenience with Prime and we’re confident this offering will expose many new diners to the value of Grubhub+ while driving more business to our restaurant partners and drivers." | https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-subscribers-free-year-grubhub-083439372.html?src=rss | 2022-07-06T09:09:36Z | https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-subscribers-free-year-grubhub-083439372.html?src=rss | true | 4 |
Prime Video has canceled Night Sky, a sci-fi drama which starred J.K. Simmons and Sissy Spacek, after just one season.
Deadline (opens in new tab) reports that the show, which dropped all eight episodes of its first season on May 20, will not get a second season. The report states that the show's sizeable production costs and failure to land a large enough audience have led Prime Video's executives to call time on the project.
Night Sky told the story of Spacek's Irene and Simmons' Franklin, a couple who discovered many years previously that there is a chamber buried in their backyard, one which inexplicably leads to a strange, deserted planet. They've carefully guarded their secret ever since, but when Chai Hanson's Jude, a charismatic young man, worms his way into their lives, it's much harder to keep the secret.
The show's cancelation, so soon after the premiere, may come as a bit of a surprise, especially as initial reactions to Night Sky had been pretty positive.
Kiah McKirnan, Julieta Zylberberg, Rocío Hernández and Adam Bartley starred alongside Simmons, Spacek and Hanson, with Daniel C. Connolly, whose credits include Into the Badlands and Colony, acting as showrunner.
The show's cancelation, so soon after the premiere, may come as a bit of a surprise, especially as the initial reactions to Night Sky had been pretty positive.
Did critics like Night Sky?
By and large. We're not talking anything stupendous, but it holds a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab), and a quick scan down the page shows way more bright red tomatoes than green splats.
Critics were especially full of praise for Simmons and Spacek, who they believed elevated the show above run-of-the-mill science fiction, even if most thought, at eight episodes, the show was a touch too long.
Audiences liked it, too, giving it an 81% rating. Again, that's nothing off the scale, but still the kind of good reactions that generally set things up for a second run.
Weirdly, though, Night Sky has already earned its place in the record books and made history.
Made history? How so?
Using Amazon's immense resources, and, likely, impresario Jeff Bezos' obsession with all things intergalactic, Prime Video teamed up with Amazon Web Services, SES, and Intelsat to beam the show’s first episode into outer space.
That marks the farthest distance from planet earth that a TV series has been distributed, and, as a result, it made Prime Video the first streamer to distribute its content directly into space.
For fans of the show, it's a nice thing to remember it by, but, it turns out, even being shown in space doesn't guarantee a second season in today's ruthless TV landscape.
Prime Video's latest TV blockbuster, The Terminal List, arrived last week. But it turns out critics have not taken to it at all.

A Russian court ordered the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), one of the world’s largest pipelines which brings oil from Kazakhstan to the Black Sea, to suspend activity for 30 days, adding to global worries over oil supplies.
CPC, which handles about 1% of global oil and includes US majors Chevron and Exxon, said the ruling to suspend its operations concerned issues related to the handling oil spills and that the consortium had to abide by the ruling.
It declined further comment on its activity and operations.
The CPC pipeline has been in the spotlight since what Russia calls a “special military operation” in Ukraine, which has restricted Russian exports and led to an oil price spike.
Best of Express Premium
The United States has imposed sanctions on Russian oil but has said flows from Kazakhstan through Russia should run uninterrupted.
According to a report seen by Reuters, oil loadings from CPC terminal were continuing as of midday on July 5, but it was not clear if operations were continuing on July 6.
CPC said on Wednesday that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Viktoria Abramchenko ordered regulators, including industrial safety regulator Rostekhnadzor, to inspect the facilities of the Russian part of the consortium.
It said that the inspection has found some “documentary” irregularities on plans how to tackle oil spills. An oil spill occurred at the terminal last year.
The pipeline exported up to 54 million tonnes, or some 1.2 million barrels per day, of Kazakhstan’s main crude grade, light sour CPC Blend , last year from the Black Sea.
The pipeline’s operations have already been interrupted by damage to the Black Sea’s terminal equipment this year.
Any major disruption to its flows would put further strain on the global oil market just as it faces one of the worst supply crunches since the Arab oil embargo in the 1970s.

An inter-state fake sadhu gang, comprising seven accused, were arrested by the Rachkonda Police in Telangana on Monday, July 4. The operation was conducted jointly by the special operations team, Bhongir Zone and the Bhongir Town Police.
The gang was arrested for cheating innocent people and collecting huge amounts from their victims through a hawala network.
The accused moved across localities disguised as sadhus. They targeted people with mental disabilities and confused them by stating that they were having some doshas. Then, in the name of performing occult poojas, the gang collected a huge amount of money through a Hawala network.
On November 29, 2020, one of the gang’s victims, Kondal Reddy, while returning from the fields to his home, saw a snake crossing his path. He lost his balance and fell from his motorcycle, sustaining injuries. On December 16, when he was at his office, the accused, Sanjunath and Ghorakhnath, went there to collect alms.
GANG CLAIMED VICTIMS HAD 'DOSHA'
Upon seeing him, they enquired about the cause of the injuries and Kondal Reddy narrated the incident. By taking advantage of his innocence, the accused pressured him, stating that he had Sarpadosha, and to recover from it, a pooja had to be done.
The victim believed them and paid Rs 41,000 for the pooja articles as demanded by them. Later, the accused, along with the rest of the gang, namely Ramnath, Jonnath, Govindnath and Arjunnath visited his house, performed a pooja and collected Rs 41,000.
They kept him under further duress and collected Rs 37,71,000 from the date of the incident to February 2022.
The accused continued to speak to the victim over the phone and made him deposit the cash with their hawala agents, who, in turn, transferred the money to the fake sadhu gang.
Rachakonda Police apprehended the accused on July 4 by asking the gang to come to Ghatkesar village to collect the cash. When the gang arrived, police officials caught them and seized Rs 8,30,000, 12 mobiles and a money counting machine, among other things.
A case has been registered at the Bhuvanagiri Town Police Station under sections 420, 506 of the IPC and Section 5 r/w 7 of the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act. | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/inter-state-fake-sadhu-gang-nabbed-rachakonda-police-telangana-lakhs-seized-1970939-2022-07-06 | 2022-07-06T09:12:51Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/inter-state-fake-sadhu-gang-nabbed-rachakonda-police-telangana-lakhs-seized-1970939-2022-07-06 | false | 2 |

“I confirm that police have received a report from the woman, who claimed that she was sexually assaulted at a hotel on March 30 and April 26.
“Police have commenced an investigation including gathering evidence and statements from witnesses,” he was quoted as saying.
The case is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code, which stipulates the offence of assault or use of criminal force against a person with the intent to outrage modesty. | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/report-exco-s-aide-allegedly-sexually-assaulted-woman-in-hotel-YK9419331 | 2022-07-06T09:13:43Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/report-exco-s-aide-allegedly-sexually-assaulted-woman-in-hotel-YK9419331 | true | null |
Graeme McDowell expressed shock at the level of vitriol generated by his move to the LIV Golf tour as he revealed he now receives regular social media messages wishing him dead.
Graeme McDowell expressed shock at the level of vitriol generated by his move to the LIV Golf tour as he revealed he now receives regular social media messages wishing him dead.
The former Ryder Cup stalwart said he expected consequences from his decision to join the contentious Saudi-backed series, but he did not anticipate “being torn to shreds”.
The 2010 US Open champion acknowledged his switch to LIV was “about the money” but he said the negativity around the rebel initiative was drowning out the positive changes it was attempting to make to the game of golf.
McDowell faced intense criticism following his widely publicised defence of the controversial new tour at a press conference ahead of the inaugural event in London last month.
He now says he wished he had said nothing at the press event at the Centurion Club.
The 42-year-old from Portrush was speaking to BBC NI on Monday as he took part in the JP McManus Pro-Am event at Adare Manor in Co Limerick.
“I never really have made my peace with how vitriolic the attacks would be regarding my reputation, on social media the things that I’d said being absolutely torn to shreds,” he told BBC NI.
“And it’s really hard because I’m being asked questions that there are no right answers to.
“I’m having my moral integrity attacked all the time when, at the end of the day, all I’m trying to do is play golf. I’m trying to make a business decision for me and my family. And, you know, I’ve paid my dues in this game over the last 20 years, I’ve tried to carry myself the right way.
“The tenuous links to what the Saudi regime have done, the horrible things they have done, they’re trying to link this to golf and playing professional golf.
“It’s very difficult when you’re in a situation where you’re literally being asked questions that there are no right answers to and you’re just being torn apart for it.”
At the Centurion Club last month, McDowell described the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi as “reprehensible” when he was pressed on crimes and human rights abuses linked to the regime.
But he then insisted that the LIV players were “not politicians” and said he was “proud” to help Saudi Arabia “get to where they want to be”.
On Monday, McDowell said: “I don’t wake up and feel proud of myself every day. You know, I can’t turn on my Instagram or Twitter account without someone telling me to go die. It’s been a really tough couple of months.
“But again, I expected it, I knew what the consequences are going to be, I just didn’t realise kind of just how heavily this was going to be hammered, trying to answer questions which are unanswerable.
“That’s probably the only mistake I made in London at the first event when I was in my press conference – I just wish I’d said nothing.
“I just wish I just sat there and just kind of shook my head and said no comment. But it’s not who I am. I always try and be truthful and try to answer questions. I shouldn’t have bothered.”
The Northern Irishman said professional golf is played in many countries with questionable records on human rights.
“I’ve played golf all over the world and countries whose human rights records could probably be torn apart as well,” he said.
“I’ve never questioned being in China or being in the Middle East or being all over the world.
“What I do is I play professional golf, I play golf for money. I’ve chased that money all over the world all my career. I’m 43 next month and, you know, the LIV Golf opportunity was incredibly lucrative. Do I research into the morals of every dollar I’ve ever made? No, I don’t.
“And, unfortunately, because of the competitive threat that this tour is compared to the other tours in the world the negativity has been focused heavily on here and it really hurts to kind of see my name attacked the way it has.”

- Developers at RippleX conducted tests to affirm that the XRP Ledger is ready to support NFTs.
- Two new lawyers have joined Ripple in its legal battle with the US SEC.
- Unique addresses on the XRP network exceeded 200,000 for the first time since February 2020 as the altcoin held ground in the crypto slide.
RippleX developers performed tests on the XRP Ledger to measure NFT throughput. Upwards of 71 million accounts minting 20 NFTs each were tested on the Ledger and the test was concluded successfully. Ripple’s side in the legal battle against the US regulator was strengthened by the addition of two new lawyers to the payment giant’s team.

RippleX developers battle test the ledger for NFTs
RippleX developers conducted a myriad of tests on the ledger to identify the throughput for NFT transactions. In addition to 70.6 million accounts that exist on the ledger (based on the snapshot), one million new accounts were created.
The Ripple Ledger was tested for a total of 20 million NFTs, as offers and acceptance were recorded as transactions on the network. Ripple ledger sustained through the workload and offered a throughput rate of 751 per second. For XRP payments and NFT transaction pair, the throughput was relatively higher, 1,064 per second. For NFT mints, it was nearly half of the transactions, 384 per second.
The development arm of Ripple then concluded that they are confident in XRP Ledger’s ability to support the XLS-20 for NFTs.
XRP Network unique addresses exceed 200,000
Analysts at the crypto intelligence firm Santiment noted that XRP held its ground better than most other altcoins in the crypto slide last week. Interestingly, the XRP network exploded with a spike in unique addresses. The number of unique addresses interacting on the altcoin’s blockchain crossed 200,000 for the first time since February 2020.
XRP hit the highest level of activity in terms of active addresses for the first time in over two and half years, offering key insight into the performance of Ripple against its altcoin competitors.

SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit rages on, payment giant adds two lawyers
There is an exciting development in the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple. The payment giant has added two new lawyers to the team to defend against the SEC’s charges of alleged illegal securities offering through the sale of XRP.
Kellogg Hansen lawyers Kylie Chiseul Kim and Clayton J. Masterman are the two new attorneys Ripple added to its team. Typically, the addition of the new attorneys suggests that legal proceedings may be extended, and the battle may continue to rage for longer than expected.
Analysts believe XRP price is primed for major volatility
Analysts at FXStreet note that the XRP price has created a range extending from $0.28 to $0.38, and the altcoin is currently in a deep discount mode.

SpiceJet shares tumble 7%, hit 52-week low after series of unfortunate events
So far the total number of technical malfunction incidents involving SpiceJet aircraft have risen to seven in the last fortnight
SpiceJet shares continued to tank on Wednesday, declining seven per cent to hit a one-year low following several instances of its planes suffering technical glitches in recent weeks — the most recent being on Tuesday when one of its aircraft, flying from Kandla, Gujarat, to Mumbai, Maharashtra, had to make a priority landing in Mumbai after suffering a crack on its outer windshield midair.
The scrip fell seven per cent to hit a 52-week low of Rs 35 on the BSE.
SpiceJet shares opened at Rs 37.10 apiece after falling 2.33 per cent to close at Rs 37.65 on Tuesday, a day when its Dubai-bound plane was diverted to Karachi due to malfunctioning of the fuel indicator. In morning trade on Wednesday, shares of the airline were trading 2.66 per cent down at Rs 36.65 apiece.
The broader market was in the positive territory and the benchmark Sensex rose nearly 400 points to 53,533.84 points.
So far the total number of technical malfunction incidents involving SpiceJet aircraft have risen to seven in the last over a fortnight and, according to officials of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the aviation regulator is investigating all of them.

Russian Lawmakers Back Windfall Tax on Gazprom Amid Gas Rally
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Russian lawmakers approved a temporary windfall tax on energy giant Gazprom PJSC, a move that will channel billions of dollars into state coffers as natural-gas prices soar.
The producer is set to pay an additional 1.25 trillion rubles ($22.2 billion) in mineral extraction tax from September to November, or 416 billion rubles each month, according to a bill adopted by the lower house of parliament on Tuesday. It still requires approval from the upper chamber and the president.
European gas prices have more than doubled this year as Russia’s war in Ukraine -- and resulting international sanctions -- drive up risks to supply. Gazprom’s exports to its key markets have shrunk since March as some nations were cut off entirely while others saw flows through major pipelines curtailed.
Despite lower shipments, the Russian exporter has gained from surging prices. The windfall tax, once approved, will direct more of those proceeds to the government -- Gazprom’s largest shareholder -- rather than to all investors.
Last week, shareholders at the company’s annual meeting voted against a record dividend payout of 1.24 trillion rubles, deciding such a move would be “unreasonable” in the current environment, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Famil Sadygov said. Since the state owns just over 50% of Gazprom, the new tax would be twice as lucrative for the budget than the proposed dividend.
“Of course, we must be ready to fulfill our obligations to pay taxes in an increased amount,” Sadygov said last week, adding that Gazprom’s priorities include expanding its domestic network and preparing for the winter season.

Island Health has a new top doctor after the previous chief medical health officer, Dr. Richard Stanwick, retired at the end of 2021 after more than 25 years in the industry on Vancouver Island.
On Tuesday, Island Health announced Dr. Réka Gustafson as the health authority's new chief medical health officer and vice-president of population and public health.
Gustafson was a familiar face during the pandemic, serving as B.C.'s deputy provincial health officer and serving senior roles in with the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA).
She would sometimes stand in for provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry at live COVID-19 briefings over the past two years.
Before that, Gustafson was also deputy chief medical health officer for Vancouver Coastal Health.
Gustafson will continue to work for the BCCDC and PHSA until Sept. 2, as the organizations complete a national recruiting process to fill her position.
In her role with Island Health, Gustafson will oversee the health authority's public health teams and work with senior leaders to implement health policies.
"I’m excited to welcome Dr. Gustafson to Island Health," said Kathy MacNeil, president and CEO of Island Health in a statement Tuesday.
"We are fortunate to have such an experienced provincial health leader join our organization and provide executive leadership for our population and public health initiatives," she said. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/b-c-s-deputy-provincial-health-officer-named-island-health-s-new-top-doctor-1.18148574 | 2022-07-06T09:40:00Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/b-c-s-deputy-provincial-health-officer-named-island-health-s-new-top-doctor-1.18148574 | false | 1 |
Police are "increasingly concerned" about the well-being of a deaf teenager last seen heading towards Cardiff. Tammy, aged 16, from Congresbury, was seen on CCTV at Yatton train station on Saturday, July 2, where she travelled on the 11.38am train towards Cardiff via Bristol and Gloucester.
Tammy is described as white, with brown hair and eyes. She is deaf and lip-reads. She was last seen wearing a maroon cardigan with floral embroidery, dark blue roll-up jeans, and black Dr Martens boots with pink laces.
Police say it is not in Tammy's character to be away from home and out of contact with her family, and a family member states they are "worried sick". Concerns continue to grow as she does not have access to her regular medication which could impact her health.

South Wales Police have shared an appeal from Avon and Somerset Police asking for help finding Tammy, and for Tammy to get in touch should she see the appeal herself.
In the appeal, Detective Inspector Tristan Hawkes said: "It’s out of character for Tammy to be away from home and not in touch with her family.
“We are increasingly concerned for Tammy’s wellbeing as she is not believed to have access to the medication she regular takes, which could impact on her health and require her to need treatment.
“Tammy, if you see this appeal, please get in touch to let us know you are safe.”
If you have any information regarding her whereabouts, call 101 quoting reference 5222157845.

Helping and supporting mana whenua is a high priority for Susan O'Regan, who is hoping to become Waipā district's next mayor.
Originally from Rukuhia, O'Regan will challenge Mayor Jim Mylchreest, promising to bring a "strong, energetic, [and] fresh" sense of leadership.
Susan won the Kakepuku ward unopposed in the 2019 local government election, and is running for the top job with ambitious intentions, including addressing iwi aspirations at a local level.
"We have a great district, but council needs to change," she said.

Advertise with NZME."We need to make it easier to deal with us, we need to listen and take care of our diverse population.
"We need to work more effectively together to make Waipā's communities more resilient and vibrant so there is a better future for us all."
Susan says she understands the importance for the district's "often uncomfortable local histories to be told".
"As a current councillor I have had the privilege of working alongside mana whenua in various environments and have grown what I believe are strong respectful relationships.
"[I've] been very active in this space including organising Waipā's inaugural Ra Maumahara Day in 2017.
"I have always been an advocate for increased Māori participation in our decision-making by voting for the creation of Māori wards in 2017 and again in 2022.
"We need to address hapū and iwi aspirations at a local level carefully and on a broad range of issues. These include the implementation of Te Ture Whaimana and discussions around the development of papakāinga."
She also said council has to proceed with work to acknowledge and protect sites of cultural significance and look at the meaningful and effective incorporation of te ao Māori into the organisation.

"Our position is that we expect local and regional bodies to engage with iwi and mana whenua on all sites of cultural significance in their respective areas - irrespective of their political makeup," Waikato Tainui deputy chief executive Jason Ake said.
Born and bred in the Waipā district, Susan is proud of the direction of her community.
"We've made a good start. But there is so much more to do ... Let's make sure Waipā builds on its strengths, and has a strong future. We should all be able to thrive here – at every stage of our lives."

Granada Gold Announces Recent Drill Program has Increased Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources by 21% to 543,000 oz Au and Inferred by 71% To 456,000 oz Au
July 6 - Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV:GGM) (OTC:GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Granada") is pleased to provide an updated mineral resources estimate at the Granada property, a past producer located adjacent to the prolific Cadillac Break in the Abitibi near Rouyn-Noranda and close to several gold deposits and operating mines in northwestern Quebec.
The estimates combine in-pit constrained and underground mineral resources estimates and include the results of the 30,000-meter drill program conducted on the Big Claim at Granada since the last estimate was published in January 2021.
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Measured and indicated in-pit and underground mineral resources estimated at 8,220,000 tonnes grading 2.05 grams/tonne (g/t) gold (Au), containing 543,000 oz Au;
-
Inferred in-pit and underground mineral resource estimated at 3,010,000 tonnes grading 4.71 g/t Au, containing 456,000 oz Au;
-
New estimates represent a 21 percent increase in measured and indicated gold mineral resources and a 71 percent increase in inferred mineral resources compared with the previous estimate;
-
Grades are in line with the Company's target of 2 g/t Au for open pit and 4 g/t Au for underground resources;
-
Step-out drilling 250 meters (m) to the north of the pit in the Big Claim confirmed gold mineralization at depth which was also indicated by past drilling on the property;
-
Other step-out drilling further north to a depth of 1,600m surprisingly encountered 21 mineralized zones of alkali metals, with a significant 53.1m thick zone of rubidium grading 340 ppm (in-hole length) above the downward trending gold veins (a rubidium mineral resource to be reported in a separate news release). The real thickness is expected to be about 35-40% of the in-hole length.
"Granada has been successful in achieving its goals with last year's 30,000m drill program, which was the first phase of a planned 120,000m of drilling. We had planned to do much of the drilling during the first phase in, around and below the existing pit aiming to significantly increase the gold mineral resources in line with our target grades, and also to confirm gold mineralization with step-out drilling to the north of the pit. We did all that and, with the drill results we reported in news releases along the way and with this resource update, we have quite adequately achieved our goals. In addition, we unexpectedly encountered a massive rubidium mineralization which has the potential to change the economics of Granada as rubidium is an increasingly important alkali metal used in the EV battery industry (see January 11, 2022 news release)," stated Frank J Basa, B.Eng., P.Eng., President and CEO.
"The potential of Granada has not yet been realized, as only about 20% of the property has been explored, and drilling has been conducted on only 2 km of the 5.5km estimated mineralized east-west zone. We have plenty of prospective targets. Past and recent drilling confirmed the presence of downward-sloping gold veins at depth to the north of the pit but we mostly have not drilled enough there to count that as part of the mineral resource. And there is a lot of exploration drilling we could do to the east as well along the mineralized zone which we believe could be productive," Mr. Basa added.
The Granada property includes the former Granada Gold underground mine which produced more than 50,000 oz of gold at 9.7 g/t Au from two shafts before a fire destroyed the surface buildings. Bulk samples taken from the surface in the 1990s and since then have graded in the 3-5 g/t range (see May 10, 2022 news release).
The 2022 mineral resource estimates in this news release represent the second estimate since the Company shifted its approach to the deposit by reducing the size of the pit in order to increase the pit grade to the range of 2 g/t Au from 1 g/t Au (and reduce the production of waste and overburden removal) to improve the potential economics of the deposit for future mining. The first estimate since the shift was published in a news release on January 29, 2021 and an associated National Instrument (NI) 43-101 technical report was released on March 15, 2021.
The previous mineral resource estimate published in 2021 had reported a measured and indicated estimates for open pit of 5,113,000 tonnes grading 2.06 g/t Au containing 339,0n00 oz Au, and underground of 844,000 tonnes grading 4.03 g/t containing 109,000 oz Au (amounting to a combined open pit and underground contained 449,000 oz Au). The 2021 estimate also reported inferred resources for open pit of 34,000 tonnes grading 11.29 g/t Au containing 12,000 oz, and underground of 1,244,000 tonnes grading 6.33 g/t Au containing 253,000 oz Au (amounting to a combined open pit and underground contained 266,000 oz Au). Compared to the 2021 amounts of contained gold, the new in-pit and underground resource estimates represent a 21 percent increase for measured and indicated (543,000 oz Au in 2022 vs 449,000 oz Au in 2021) and a 71 percent increase for inferred (456,000 oz Au in 2022 vs 266,000 oz Au in 2021).
The planned upcoming 2022 NI 43-101 technical report using data available as of January 2022 and including the updated mineral resources for Granada contained in this news release is currently being completed by SGS and is expected to be delivered and filed on SEDAR by Granada within 45 days. The goal is to present resources with both open pit potential and underground potential using cut-off grades (see table and notes) based on a gold price of US$1,700/oz, a foreign exchange rate of US$0.78 for CA$1 and a processing gold recovery of 93% (versus the use of US$1,600/oz, US$0.76 for CA$1 and 93%, respectively, in the 2021 report).
Table 1: Granada Mineral Resources Estimates as of June 23, 2022
(1) The 1930-1935 production was removed from these numbers (164,816 tonnes at 9.7 g/t Au / 51,400 ounces Au).
(2) The Independent QP for this resources statement is Yann Camus, P.Eng., SGS Canada Inc.
(3) The effective date is June 23rd, 2022.
(4) CIM (2014) definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.
(5) Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
(6) No economic evaluation of the resources has been produced.
(7) All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. Totals may not add due to rounding
(8) Composites have been capped where appropriate. The 2.5 m composites were capped at 21 g/t Au in the thin rich veins and at 7 g/t Au in the low-grade volumes.
(9) Cut-off grades are based on a gold price of US$1,700 per ounce, a foreign exchange rate of US$0.78 for CA$1, a processing gold recovery of 93%.
(10) Pit constrained mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.55 g/t Au within a conceptual pit shell
(11) Underground mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t Au within reasonably mineable volumes.
(12) A fixed specific gravity value of 2.78 g/cm3 was used to estimate the tonnage from block model volumes
(13) There are no mineral reserves on the Property.
(14) The deepest resources reported are at a depth of 990 m.
(15) SGS is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues that could materially affect the mineral resource estimate.
(16) The results from the pit optimization are used solely for the purpose of testing the "reasonable prospects for economic extraction" by an open pit and do not represent an attempt to estimate mineral reserves. There are no mineral reserves on the Property. The results are used as a guide to assist in the preparation of a mineral resource statement and to select an appropriate resource reporting cut-off grade.

About the Mineral Resource Estimate
The Gold Deposit using narrow, rich, vein modelling and both open pit and underground resources and revised pit optimization parameters which are based on the possibility of on-site milling rather than of site custom milling. The methodology used for this update of the resource estimation is largely the same as the previous estimation from 2021.
Metallurgical and environmental characterization studies on the mineralization are being untaken at SGS for a potential mill on the Granada Mine Property.
In order to update the resource estimation, the individual thin, rich veins were modelled individually. These veins are quite continuous (over distances of 1,400m in strike and 1,000m down dip). Mineralization is open at depth and on strike. The maximum distance between linked intervals is currently about 150 m. Some gaps of about 300 m have no drilling but should contain mineralization given the continuous nature of the deposit.
The database used for this mineral resource estimate includes drill results obtained from drill programs in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and trenches from 2014 and 2015 plus many of the historic holes (1990's).
The thin, rich veins were modelled as a first step in the estimation process. A grade of 0.7 g/t over a length of 2.5 m was used as a minimum. While the 2.5 m constraint was always met, some intervals were considered under 0.7 g/t to allow to model continuous mineralized structures. We estimate that the final 107 thin, rich veins modelled contain 92% of the gold from intervals that meet the 0.7 g/t over 2.5 m criteria.
A large, low-grade zone was modelled around all intervals containing significant gold. This large, low-grade volume is similar in shape and size to the previous resource model.
Composites of 2.5 m were created inside the thin, rich veins and in the low-grade volume. All resulting 107 volumes were estimated as hard boundaries. The rich, thin vein composites were capped at 21 g/t. It has a similar impact on gold content as the previous estimate capping methodology. The low-grade composites were capped at 7 g/t.
A block model was created with blocks of 5 x 2.5 x 2.5 m to fill the rich, thin veins while using block centers as indicators for the block's nature. Both the kriging and inverse square distance estimation methods were tested with very similar results globally. The kriging is more conservative in grade and gold content once we apply the cut-off grades to report resources. Kriging was retained as the estimation method of choice for this project. Search ellipsoids used for the estimation are of 30 x 30 x 7.5 m, 60 x 60 x 15 m and 100 x 100 x 30 m respectively. A minimum of a single drillhole is needed to estimate blocks inside thin, rich veins. A minimum of 2 drillholes are needed to estimate blocks in the low-grade volume. Search ellipsoid orientations are variable depending on local orientation of the model.
The classification in measured, indicated and inferred was done as a separate step with an algorithm with ellipsoids centered on composites. A drilling grid with a minimum of 3 drillholes within 30 m of each other or less defines measured resources (under 25 m most of the time) and a drilling grid with a minimum of 3 drillholes within 60 m of each other or less defines indicated resources (under 50 m most of the time). Measured resource extends only by 20 m around drillholes and indicated extends only by 40 m.
The mineral resource statement EXCLUDES the historical production of 51,476 ounces of gold (181,744 Tons @ 0.28 oz/Ton Au) from 1930 to 1935. These numbers were subtracted from the measured resources in the whittle open pit.

About Granada Gold Mine Inc.
Granada Gold Mine Inc. continues to develop and explore its 100% owned Granada Gold Property adjacent to the prolific Cadillac Break near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. The Company owns 14.73 square kilometers of land in a combination of mining leases and claims and to date Granada has conducted 150,000m of drilling on the property. The Company recently completed 30,000m of a planned 120,000m drill program aimed at expanding the size of the deposit. The drills are currently paused to provide the technical team with the necessary time to evaluate and assimilate existing data.
The Granada Shear Zone and the South Shear Zone contain, based on historical detailed mapping as well as from current and historical drilling, up to twenty-two mineralized structures trending east-west over five and a half kilometers. Three of these structures were mined historically from four shafts and three open pits. Historical underground grades were 8 to 10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from two shafts down to 236m and 498m with open pit grades from 3.5 to 5 g/t gold.
The property includes the former Granada Gold underground mine which produced more than 50,000 ounces of gold at 10 grams per tonne gold in the 1930's from two shafts before a fire destroyed the surface buildings. In the 1990's, Granada Resources extracted a bulk sample (Pit #1) of 87,311 tonnes grading 5.17 g/t Au. They also extracted a bulk sample (Pit # 2) of 22,095 tonnes grading 3.46 g/t Au.
The Company is in possession of all mining permits required to commence the initial mining phase, known as the "Rolling Start", which allows the company to mine up to 550 tonnes per day. Additional information is available at www.granadagoldmine.com.

Amazon Prime Day 2022 is July 12th and 13th, with two days of great deals this year.
But it also brings opportunities for scammers, if you are not careful. And not every deal is the best.
Prime member Megan Allen uses Prime Day to stock up on home goods.
"I usually buy things for around the house, items for decorating, pillowcases and things like that. It's a good deal," she said.
Where to expect the best deals
Besides home goods, Consumer Reports says you can expect big markdowns on Amazon devices like Echos, Ring doorbells, and Amazon Fire TV's.
Based on prior years, CR also expects discounts on smartwatches, robot vacuums, and Instant Pots.
But don't start hunting for deals just yet: Amazon does not announce the deals in advance, and deals change every hour so you have to check back frequently. You must be a Prime member to participate.
Other retailers like Walmart and Target know Prime Day is around the corner, so they're battling for your business by offering their own great deals at the exact same time.
PC Mag's Chandra Steele says if you have a particular product in mind, shop around: Don't assume it will be cheapest on Amazon.
"You can look at Target, you can look at Walmart," she said. If you do your shopping this way, it's easy to compare prices and you may find an even better deal.
Watch out for scammers
Steele, however, warns you to be wary of fake Prime day ads, especially on social media.
"Don't click directly from something else because it could be a phishing link," she cautioned. "It could be a deal that doesn't really exist."
Also, she says, be on alert for fake reviews. Steele says short, generalized comments could be a ploy to get you to buy.
"Maybe the review is something overly complimentary," she said, which could mean it is a shill review.
Lastly, Steele says to keep your deliveries safe from porch pirates by choosing an "Amazon Day" when you order, so it all arrives at once, instead of spreading it out over several different days.
"They'll try to ship everything to you on that day," she said, "so you can guarantee that you or someone else will be home on that day."
But if you are at work all week, or away on July vacation, you may want to have your items sent to an Amazon locker or pickup counter near you, so that way, you don't waste your money.

TWELVE members of a religious group have been charged after the death of a diabetic girl who was allegedly denied insulin in Australia.
Elizabeth Rose Struhs’ body was found in the family’s home in Queensland - which doubled as a cult church - and police say her parents had prayed for her to be cured instead of giving her medicine.
Police say the eight-year old, who had Type 1 diabetes, was denied medical care by the cult, whose members have now been charged with murder.
Elizabeth was found on January 11 at the property in Toowoomba but cops believe she actually died four days earlier.
Dramatic footage showed how police found the cult members in a living room of a home in Harristown, which has been described as a place of worship.
The seven women and five men are aged 19 to 64.
"All of the 12 arrested were aware of the child's condition, were there at the address and did not take any steps to provide medical assistance to the child," police allege.
The accused are appearing in front of Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Wednesday June 6.
"It will be alleged the child suffered an underlying medical condition, who was denied treatment for that condition over a period of six days," Southern Region Detective Acting Superintendent Garry Watts said.
Their arrest follows a six-month investigation "in which all officers involved were dedicated to ensuring those alleged to be responsible for her death, are brought before the court", Watts said.
The group of Christians were aware of Elizabeth's illness but believed the little girl would be "healed by God", 9News reports.
Her anti-vaxxer parents, Jason Struhs, 50, and 46-year-old Kerrie, were arrested earlier this year as part of the investigations into Elizabeth's death.
Most read in News
They were both charged with one count of murder, torture and failure to provide necessities of life.
Police say the couple believed that their daughter was suffering from “worms” and God had “100 per cent promised healing”.
Police also alleges the parents held a "prayer ritual" before inviting up to 20 members of the fringe religious group to play guitar, sing and pray over her sick body for over 24 hours, instead of calling for help.
Only then did they reportedly call emergency services - at 5:30pm the next day.
Police said the cult was made up of three families, including other children. Cult members describe themselves as "The Saints".
The little girl's elder sister Jayde Struhs, who escaped the cult age 16 "due to the fear driven and controlling beliefs the cult my parents are apart of" has since vowed to take care of the remaining five siblings under the age of 18.
In a GoFundMe page, Struhs, who came out as a lesbian in her teens, explained: "They take the religion to its extremes, separating us from the real world and extended family who did not believe."
Shunned by her parents, Struhs graduated high school, is involved in community sport and lives in Brisbane with her partner Emma.
"On Tuesday the 11th of January, our extended family were confronted by the news that has left us completely shattered and heartbroken.
"We sadly discovered the death of Elizabeth in the cruellest of ways. With so many unanswered questions, we have faced the brutal reality that the people who should have protected her did not, and we may never know the full extent of what took place," she wrote.
Discussing how Elizabeth was "taken from us too soon", Struhs celebrated the little girl's inspiring "brave spirit in the face of medical adversity". | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19105641/12-cult-members-charged-elizabeth-rose-struhs-death/ | 2022-07-06T10:09:36Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19105641/12-cult-members-charged-elizabeth-rose-struhs-death/ | false | 5 |
Politics of Wednesday, 6 July 2022

The government has debunked assertions that it has made a sudden turnaround from its slogan “Ghana Beyond Aid” by running to the IMF for an economic bailout in the current harsh economic conditions.
The Ghana Beyond Aid was a vision of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to build a Ghana where everyone has access to education, training, and productive employment; where no one goes hungry and everyone has access to the necessities of life including good health care, water, sanitation, and decent housing in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It focused on values, mindset and attitudinal changes that condition the environment for pursuing development, rather than a list of projects to be implemented.
By this initiative, the President’s vision was to ultimately transform Ghana into an aid-free country.
However, with the continuous borrowing which has raised Ghana’s total debt stock to some GH¢391.9 billion as at March 2022, there are submissions that the Ghana Beyond Aid mantra is only a slogan for political expediency especially as the country has returned to the IMF for economic assistance.
Reacting to these claims, the government said it has not abandoned its pursuit of a Ghana Beyond Aid.
A statement from the Ministry of Finance explained that Ghana is only back to the IMF because the world has been hit with major shocks which have impacted the country as well.
“Countries go to the IMF for support when they face challenges and want the needed support to undertake its economic programme but lack the required funding,” the statement said.
An IMF programme, the statement noted, is expected to give the country the breathing room to pursue stronger structural reforms that will eventually help Ghana achieve the targets set out in the Ghana Beyond Aid charter. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/We-ve-not-abandoned-Ghana-Beyond-Aid-agenda-Government-1576379 | 2022-07-06T10:10:44Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/We-ve-not-abandoned-Ghana-Beyond-Aid-agenda-Government-1576379 | true | 3 |
British Grand Prix winner Carlos Sainz is only ranked joint-eighth in the list of Formula One's highest paid drivers according to new data.
Research from Top10 Casinos has revealed the salaries of the 20 drivers competing in this year's F1 season, ranking them from highest to lowest paid. The data also shows how much each driver's salary equates to for each race, lap and mile they drive, with some surprising results.
Ferrari's Sainz is tied eighth in the rankings alongside Aston Martin's Lance Stroll and Valterri Bottas of Alfa Romeo, with all three drivers paid a total of £8,211,765 per year.
That figure equates to £373,262 per race, £7,178 per lap and £1,961 per mile driven this season, but is some way short of the amount highest earner Lewis Hamilton earns.
Hamilton is paid a whopping £32,847,060 per year by Mercedes, a figure four times the size of Sainz, Bottas and Stroll's annual salary.
Sainz's Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc comes out one place higher in the list and is the seventh highest paid driver in Formula One with an annual salary of £9,854,118.
However, there have been reports of a rift forming within the ranks at Ferrari, with Leclerc said to have been left unhappy with the team's strategy at Sunday's race, which allowed Sainz to take the victory.
Where will Carlos Sainz finish in the 2022 Drivers' Championship? Let us know in the comments section below.
27-year-old Sainz claimed the first race victory of his Formula One career at Silverstone as he held off the challenges of Sergio Perez and Hamilton after starting the race in pole position.
The win came in his 150th race, with the Spaniard having started his F1 career back in 2015 when he joined Toro Rosso, with whom he went on to spend three seasons.
Following spells with Renault and McLaren, Sainz signed with Ferrari ahead of the 2021 season and ended the campaign fifth in the Drivers' Championship.
He currently finds himself in fourth place this season as he prepares to head to the Red Bull Ring in Styria for this coming weekend's Austrian Grand Prix.

DAX Rebounds On Strong Industrial Orders Data
(RTTNews) - German stocks rebounded on Wednesday after data showed the country's factory orders unexpectedly expanded in May underpinned by the rise in demand from the non-euro area countries.
New orders grew 0.1 percent month-on-month in May, reversing the trend after a third consecutive monthly drop, Destatis reported.
That was in contrast to the revised 1.8 percent decline in April and the expected fall of 0.6 percent.
On a yearly basis, factory orders declined 3.1 percent, slower than the April's 5.3 percent decrease.
Elsewhere, a survey conducted by the ifo Institute revealed that German retailers are bracing themselves for supply problems to persist for another full year.
Investors await the release of the Eurozone retail sales data for May later in the day for further direction.
The benchmark DAX jumped 160 points, or 1.3 percent, to 12,561 after plunging 2.9 percent in the previous session.
Evotec AG advanced 1.8 percent. The German drug discovery and development company, Boehringer Ingelheim and bioMérieux have established a joint venture Aurobac Therapeutics SAS, with an investment of 40 million euros.

Former Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum could be on his way out of Paris Saint-Germain after only one season - as the French champions consider bringing back an old favourite.
After his contract expired, the 31-year-old Dutchman left Anfield on a free transfer last summer and, although he had widely been tipped to join Barcelona, he eventually signed for PSG. But Wijnaldum, who won both the Champions League and Premier League under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, has endured a tough time at the Parc des Princes, making just 18 league starts, with a further 13 appearances off the substitutes bench.
And according to Italian publication Calcio Mercato Web, the Netherlands international could be subject to a swap deal with Juventus. The report claims that PSG want to bring back Adrien Rabiot from Turin and send Wijnaldum in the opposite direction. Rabiot was a popular figure in Paris, winning five Ligue 1 titles across 227 appearances for the club, before heading to Serie A. But now it seems that PSG want to bring him back, and heading into the final year of his contract, the 27-year-old appears to be happy to call time on his spell in Italy.

READ MORE: Lionel Messi sent blunt Liverpool transfer message
Rabiot has also been linked with Liverpool. It was reported last week that Juventus were willing to exchange the France international as part of a 'swap deal' for Reds striker Roberto Firmino.
Wijnaldum was a popular figure on the red half of Merseyside. He joined the the club from Newcastle United for £23million in 2016, signing a five-year deal. Always displaying an appetite for the big games, he wrote his name into Liverpool folklore after coming off the bench to score twice against Barcelona in the 2019 Champions League semi-final second leg at Anfield - a match Klopp's side would go onto win 4-0, overturning a 3-0 first leg deficit.
Should his time in Paris be up after only one season with the club, Wijnaldum would still leave with a Ligue 1 champions medal to add to his collection.

The company’s long-term growth is expected to be aided by new products, domestic capacity expansion, and benefits accruing from recent acquisitions. However, in the coming quarters, growth normalisation could be seen given higher base of the previous year.
Outlook
We retain our Buy rating on the stock with an unchanged PT of Rs. 952, given promising long-term outlook and transient headwinds.

Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei seeks employee input on business direction amid struggle to reinvent company under US sanctions
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Ren ZhengfeiChinese businessman
Ren Zhengfei, founder of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei Technologies Co, has called for employees to contribute ideas about the company's future direction, according to an internal memo, as the company struggles to remake itself after US sanctions crippled its smartphone business.
Despite venturing into multiple business fronts from coal mining to car systems, the Shenzhen-based company with its 195,000-strong staff worldwide has yet to find a steady revenue source that can match the profitability of its once-lucrative smartphone unit.
Huawei's sales last year shrank by nearly a third from 2020, although profits surged by 76 per cent thanks mostly to the one-off income from disposing of its Honor budget smartphone business.

According to an internal memo showing Ren's discussions with employees last month, the CEO asked Huawei's scientists and experts to hold cross-disciplinary discussions and "speak freely" about which direction the company should be headed. The memo was published on Huawei's employees' forum on Monday.
"Huawei's strategy should not be decided by a handful of people ... it should come from tens of thousands of experts who study our future direction and the path to get there," Ren said, urging Huawei's 6,000 experts and hundreds of thousands of engineers to join the discussions, alongside external scientists and consultants.
Ren said the ideas raised should be conducive to "value creation".
"The transformation from ideas to projects and products will depend on the review by decision makers, and I hope everything the company does is within boundaries and creates short or long term value," Ren said. "Your innovation should have business value, rather than just being an idea."
Ren's speech came amid Huawei's ongoing efforts to diversify its business to counter the impact of US trade sanctions, which have cut off the company's access to advanced US origin technology, including cutting-edge chips.
Huawei's consumer business, which includes smartphones, has borne the brunt of the sanctions, with last year's revenue down by half from a year earlier to 243.4 billion yuan (US$38.24 billion).
Huawei continues to maintain its mid to high-end smartphone lines after selling its Honor budget phone brand to a consortium led by the Shenzhen government.
This week, Huawei launched its new Nova 10 handset in mainland China. While the new model has a friendly starting price of 2,699 yuan, it does not support 5G, making it difficult to stand out among a plethora of options coming from Chinese rivals eager to replace Huawei, which is becoming increasingly irrelevant in the country's smartphone market.

While Huawei is also pushing into China's competitive car market, the company has repeatedly said it would not make vehicles itself, but would instead continue to work with carmakers to supply components and in-car systems.
On Monday, Huawei launched Aito M7, its latest model developed in partnership with Chinese automotive brand Seres. The six-seater, priced from 319,800 yuan to 379,800 yuan, is equipped with the HarmonyOS Smart Cockpit.
Huawei's previous model, the Aito M5, sold 11,296 units in the past four months, said Richard Yu Chengdong, head of Huawei's consumer business group and automobile unit, at Monday's event.
The executive said Huawei's brand name was so powerful that the company could survive just by "making shoes and socks", according to a report by Chinese tech media outlet IThome.

A boy, 16, has become an internet star after stunning people at his school prom by wearing a bright red sequined tuxedo and ballgown skirt.
Korben, who topped off his outfit with a crown, says he wanted to show ‘you can be who you want to be’.
Onlookers clapped and some teachers reportedly wept as the teenager stepped out of his car at Archbishop Sancroft High School in Harleston.
His message has since spread far and wide – with millions of views on a picture posted online by proud mum Nina Green.
Nina, from Norfolk, told the BBC she wanted to show her child ‘living his best life’.
‘If you let your child be who they are then you’ll get nothing but the best out of them’, she said.
‘There are people in the world who still don’t understand, but the feeling of acceptance, you can’t beat that feeling. I am so happy for him.’
Ru Paul’s Drag Race star Michelle Visage retweeted the post in a move that ‘blew Korben away’.
She wrote: ‘Ohhhhhhhh yes! You are an amazing beautiful mom and your child is a STAR’.
Nina’s post got more than 120,000 ‘likes’ – with H from Steps and Dr Ranj also retweeting it.
Korben has always adored wearing dresses and has been taking to the stage as ‘sassy’ drag queen Miss Frou Frou for years now.
But his mum explained: ‘He wanted to go [to prom] as himself, while expressing his feminine side – with a tuxedo on the top and a dress at the bottom, very much influenced by [American actor] Billy Porter.’
Nina says she has received an ‘incredible’ response, with one parent even messaging for advice on supporting her son who recently told her he is gay.
‘I think it’s so important to fly the flag, for people who don’t get the support he does’, Nina said.

A few months ago, the Twittersphere was tapping away to the tune of the #nomakeupselfie, but now in a reverse move TOPSHOP are teaming up with the Red Lippy Project to urge us all to smear on the slap and #makeamark.
As part of Cervical Screening Awareness Week, the Lippy Project - a charity dedicated to spreading screening awareness - will collaborate with high-street giant TOPSHOP to launch the limited edition Red Lippy Lipstick, £8, in their best selling Pillar Box Red.
The charity and TOPSHOP are encouraging celebrities and customers alike to share snaps of their red lips on social media, along with scarlet pucker prints on mugs and cheeks to #makeamark for cervical cancer awareness.
Founders Caroline Muhlich and Linda Andersson are determined to change the negative perception surrounding smear testing by assuring women it is not something to be scared or embarrassed about.
In 2012, a mere 32 per cent of 25 - 29 year olds went for a screening following invitations from their GPs. And the matter is even being discussed in Parliament, with MP Steve Rotheram urging government to allow those under 25 years of age to be made eligible for testing as well.
Cervical Screening Awareness Week, which runs from the 8th to the 14th June, will also see the Red Lippy Project release a video starring Amber Le Bon and a handful of faces from Models 1 to spread the message and raise awareness.
Here at GTG we’re all for a good cause, especially when it involves a bit of lippy, so pucker up and start posting those gorgeous pouts to show your support for the #redlippyproject today.
TOPSHOP’s Red Lippy Lipstick, £8, will be available to buy online and in store from June 9th along with their Lippy Project Makeup Bag, £12. | https://www.getthegloss.com/fashion/topshop-and-the-red-lippy-project | 2022-07-06T10:32:42Z | https://www.getthegloss.com/fashion/topshop-and-the-red-lippy-project | false | 1 |
Which Bissell vacuums are best?
Clean floors make your house feel more like home. Vacuums are an essential tool for those wanting spotless floors, but some don’t clean your carpet on the first go.
Bissell is known for producing high-quality vacuums in a variety of styles. If you’re thinking of buying a Bissell vacuum, it’s important to become familiarized with what the company has to offer in order to make your shopping experience as smooth as possible.
What to know before you buy a Bissell vacuum
Bagged vs. bagless Bissell vacuum
One of the most important considerations when choosing a vacuum is whether you want a bagged or bagless one. Bagless vacuums save you money in the long run, as they don’t have disposable containers that must be replaced. Still, most bagless vacuums have filters you must change periodically.
Bagged vacuums are easier to empty than bagless ones — those without bags tend to release dust particles into the air as you dump them. Still, bagless vacuums usually hold more dust and need to be dumped less often.
Types of Bissell vacuums
- Stick vacuum: These are ideal for people with compact homes or apartments. They are light and easier to move than most vacuums — many are even cordless. Stick vacuums usually have to be emptied more often than other vacuums.
- Canister vacuum: These are similar to stick vacuums but have a canister you pull behind you as you clean. Canister vacuums are ideal for upholstery and hardwood floors. They’re more powerful than stick vacuums but harder to maneuver.
- Upright vacuum: These are the most common and versatile. They’re often relatively affordable and effective but noisy. Upright vacuums are ideal for carpeted floors.
- Robot vacuum: Robot vacuums are convenient, as they do most of the work for you. Still, their suction power isn’t as good as other vacuums, and many have to be emptied often.
Bissell vacuums for pet owners
Many Bissell vacuums are designed with features ideal for pet owners. Some include accessories made for brushing furniture and removing pet hair from it. Those with various bristles and brush rolls are excellent at removing pet hair from carpets.
Additionally, Bissell’s Pet Foundation uses some of the proceeds from every purchase to help pets find homes.
What to look for in a quality Bissell vacuum
Multisurface cleaning
Some vacuums are better used on certain surfaces, but many are designed for both carpets and hard floors. Choosing a vacuum with multisurface cleaning abilities prevents you from switching to a broom and dust pan when cleaning your kitchen floors.
Long-lasting design
Vacuums aren’t the type of thing you want to replace annually. Most Bissell vacuums are built to last many years before needing to be replaced. Still, reviewing the vacuum’s warranty can be helpful if you aren’t sure how long the manufacturer believes it will last. Those with three- and five-year warranties tend to last longer than those with shorter ones.
Bissell vacuum accessories
Accessories are ideal for cleaning tough-to-reach spaces and various surfaces. Bissell vacuums often include fewer accessories than others, but a few are worth considering.
- Brush attachment: These are ideal for car seats and compact spaces. They are lightweight and usually attach to the end of the cleaning wand.
- Mop attachment: These let you clean hard floors. They save space by eliminating the need to keep a mop on hand.
- Crevice attachment: These have an angled design that lets you clean corners and tight spaces.
Bissell vacuum power
Buying a powerful vacuum ensures you’ll clean your floors in a single pass. Many Bissell vacuums have around 9 amperes of power, although some are as high as 12. Stick and robot vacuums tend to be the least powerful, while canister and upright vacuums offer more.
Bissell vacuum FAQ
Why are Bissell vacuums so cheap?
A. Many of the pieces in them are plastic. This keeps them affordable and light, although it may affect their durability.
Do Bissell robot vacuums fall down stairs?
A. They have a cliff-detection feature that prevents them from falling down stairs and other ledges.
Which vacuums produce the least noise?
A. Canister vacuums produce less noise than upright vacuums. Still, if you’re looking for the quietest one you can buy, it may be best to choose a stick vacuum.

A group of local comics have focused on creating a biweekly Mic Drop in efforts to gather individuals for some laughs and showcase Laredo talent. The event has helped the careers of a couple comedians and has elevated the local comedy scene's perception around the state.
“Anybody can go and try comedy,” said Rogelio Ramirez, a local comic and a producer of various shows at Cultura Beer Garden. “It’s not really a group of comedians or anything like that, it is more like a brand that we have been growing.
The Mic Drop shows were started by Ramirez and fellow comedian Francisco Flores a little more than three years ago. The two credited other comedians who made up groups including Laredo Funny and Laugh Laredo for their work in starting the local comedy scene.
The events are held every other Thursday at Cultura Beer Garden upstairs, with the next event on July 7 at 7 p.m. They are all free and open to anyone who wishes to attend. People can also participate if they just write about five minutes of jokes to present.
“There was a lot of conversation at that time when we started the open mics about what we could do to it to make it more inclusive, bring in more comics and just grow the scene," Ramirez said. "So we opted for doing that, and we stood out and made sure the Mic Drop was a way that we could cover all things locally, which is like the art, the music and the comedy. It has really grown into a very special open mic, and our showcases are being recognized by other cities and other comedy groups from out of town as a place to be.”
Ramirez said that during the open mic events, people from all over the state, country and even out of the country have attended to be a part of the event or just to watch. He said that in recent events, comedians from Corpus Christi, Carrizo Springs, San Antonio and even New Zealand have participated. The latter came in the form of a comedian who arrived in Laredo to work and heard about the event.
“He heard about the open mic that happens here, and he went up there and was the first comic there and he killed it,” Ramirez said. “We have a lot of instances like that. We actually have comics that have done comedy for their first time and haven’t really ever done it before and have done it really well. And now a lot of those comics, which is now like two years later, are actually traveling now.”
Ramirez states that one of these examples is local comic Ivan Batista, who specializes in Spanish language comedy. But he has already been picked up to do a standup show with South Texas comedian Mario Salazar.
Ramirez states that all kinds of comedy are welcomed at the open mics as there is not one type of genre or language that is accepted or not.
“Ivan Batista is actually a Spanish comic, as he comes up and does his sets in Spanish. He is hilarious, and he is one of the favorites here locally,” Ramirez said. “I personally regard him as the best local comic, as he is funny and ... is definitely someone to look up to. He talks a lot about personal experiences, he talks a lot about everything from his experience through the pandemic, his experience with his parents and going through his personal life. He is very fun to hear.”
There is also a lot of English and Spanglish comedy as well. Ramirez states that he does mostly his comedy all in English, but he also throws several Spanish words here and there in his routines when describing his personal experiences and observations.
Ultimately, Ramirez hopes to create a big comedy scene in the city that showcases the local talent that is here.
“We want to build a reputation for Laredo with a strong comedy scene and really invite other people who are here locally to just showcase their talents, and that is what the open mic has always been about,” Ramirez said. “We have another event — another showcase known as “Cultura Life” — which is when we pay out-of-town comedians to come and put on a show for everybody.”
The last of these events featured two comedians from Austin who came down to present, but also to show them the scene in Laredo. Ramirez said that by doing this, he is making sure that other comedians from around the state know that the comedy scene is growing in the city and that it is a good avenue for them to present.
“The scene is unlike any other in South Texas,” Ramirez said. “Right now, we have a buzzing scene compared to some of the other cities, and we are always working toward that. We are working toward showcasing the talent and putting out a good room for the people who are traveling as well, and just encouraging Laredo to go out and try something new. Personally, I would have never found out that local comedy had such a scene if I did not go out and showcase myself, and I would have never become part of the local comedy scene had I not liked started venture out and see the different talents that Laredo has to offer.”
Ramirez hopes that his open mic events and the growing comedic scene help showcase more talent to the city than just the regular comics who come from out of town and present themselves at Sames Auto Arena or other venues who already have big following.
“I feel like here we get a lot of the same comics that you see like in arenas like Gabriel Iglesias, George Lopez, you get Francisco Escamilla. So you get all these comics who are big arena comics, and I feel like people’s scope of comedy is very limited to that,” Ramirez said. “I encourage anybody to come out and check out a local show. Maybe get inspired to try it out yourself.” | https://www.lmtonline.com/local/article/Local-comedians-want-to-make-Laredo-a-major-17285727.php | 2022-07-06T10:43:01Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/local/article/Local-comedians-want-to-make-Laredo-a-major-17285727.php | false | 1 |

Land on the corner of Inkerman Street and Wednesfield Road, Heath Town, has been empty for more than 10 years since the Duke of York pub was closed and knocked down.
Following the demolition, several building projects were put forward by different contractors but none ever came to fruition.
Now the city’s planning bosses are looking to agree a proposal for a local development order granting permission for a residential development of up to six properties.
Heath Town councillor Milkinder Jaspal said: “We welcome the development. It’s long overdue. We have had various proposals over the years but all failed to take off, so we are hopeful this will go all the way and help develop another brownfield site.”
In a report to the council this week, senior officer Phillip Walker told planners: “A local development order (LDO) grants planning permission and is an alternative to a planning application.
“The government encourages local planning authorities to use LDOs to set the planning framework for particular areas or categories of development where the impacts would be acceptable and where this would promote economic, social or environmental gains for an area.
“This council-owned land at Inkerman Street is identified in the Heathfield Park Neighbourhood Plan as a housing site.
“The LDO is seen as the best way to bring forward development, since it is a flexible tool which has the ability to accelerate and simplify the planning process and make the investment more attractive,” he added.
Wolverhampton Homes, which delivers and manages the council’s housing stock, will be overseeing development of the site.
Much of the Heath Town estate has recently undergone extensive refurbishment and redevelopment work as part of an ongoing multi-million pound project.
The council’s planning committee will discuss the matter next Tuesday. | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2022/07/06/homes-plan-for-wolverhampton-estates-former-pub-site/ | 2022-07-06T10:44:17Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2022/07/06/homes-plan-for-wolverhampton-estates-former-pub-site/ | false | 1 |
Nadhim Zahawi is the new Chancellor of the Exchequer after a shock resignation from Rishi Sunak last night (July 5).
Boris Johnson’s leadership has received blow after blow today after a series of high profile resignations in the wake of the Chris Pincher scandal, including Health Secretary Sajid Javid.
Mr Zahawi, who has been promoted from Education Secretary, told Susanna Reid on GMB he believes the Prime Minister is honest all of the time.
He said: “This Prime Minister believes in transparency… absolutely and to the best of his knowledge, he came to Parliament and explained what happened in Downing Street during lockdown and yesterday came out and apologised and said, ‘I made a mistake.’ I think that’s the right thing to do, that is leadership.”
Mr Johnson has come under fire after claims he did not know about allegations against Chris Pincher were undermined by a senior official.
Here’s all you need to know about Nadhim Zahawi, the new chancellor.
Nadhim Zahawi: Story of escape from Iraq
Nadhim Zahawi was born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1967 to Kurdish parents. At the age of 11, he was forced to flee to the UK with his family as tensions rose between the Kurdish community and Saddam Hussein.
“When you have to flee your home country, you experience hundreds of emotions at once,” he told the Stratford Herald, “Yes, you are relieved to escape and grateful to the country accepting you, but also you feel guilt for those who haven’t been so lucky, those who didn’t get away.”
Mr Zahawi said starting school in the UK was difficult, he couldn’t speak much English at the time, and children would call him racist slurs.
But he said: “Thankfully, being young, I was able to adapt quickly and picked up the language and things began to change. I find once people start to understand your hopes and ambitions, they are unbelievably helpful.”
Where did Nadhim Zahawi go to school?
Nadhim Zahawi went to Ibsttock Place School in London, which has fees of up to £7,450 a term. He was then educated at King’s College School in Wimbledon, which has fees of up to £8,085 a term.
For his degree, he studied chemical engineering at University College London.
Nadhim Zahawi’s early career and YouGov
A keen businessman, Nadhim Zahawi co-founded YouGov with Stephan Shakespeare in May 2000.
It is an international research data and analytics group which produces polls – including voters’ views of the Government. Mr Zahawi was CEO of YouGov from 2005 until 2010.
The 55-year-old was elected as a Conservative councillor for Putney and served three terms between 1996 and 2006.
He was later selected as a Tory candidate for the safe Conservative seat Stratford-upon-Avon – the birthplace of William Shakespeare – and became its MP in 2010. Mr Zahawi has been reelected in this constituency ever since, winning a 19,972 vote majority in 2019.
Nadhim Zahawi cabinet roles
Nadhim Zahawi served as Minister for Children and Families under Theresa May. In Boris Johnson’s Government, he was appointed Business Secretary, playing a key role in Brexit discussions.
Then, during the Covid-19 pandemic, he was given the additional position of Secretary for Covid-19 Vaccine Deployment. He described it as “the most important job I’ll ever do” as he oversaw the coronavirus vaccine rollout in the UK.
In the 2021 cabinet reshuffle, Mr Zahawi became Education Secretary, replacing Gavin Williamson. During recent week he had been attempting to prevent potential strike action from teachers, and called for a nine per cent pay rise.
Finally, he has now risen to Chancellor following the resignation of Rishi Sunak.
What is Nadhim Zahawi’s net worth?
Nadhim Zahawi and his wife Lana are reported to have a property empire worth more than £100m.
In September 2021, Ms Zahawi bought a £6.3 million site comprising a giant Co-op and car park in Cambridgeshire, the Mirror reported.
Through the company Zahawi & Zahawi Ltd., she also owns land worth £18 million which includes an Asda megatore in the West Midlands.
The couple own five homes reportedly worth £17 million, including three in London, one in Dubai, and another in Warwickshire.
As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Zahawi will be entitled a salary of around £71,673 a year.
Nadhim Zahawi expenses scandal over stable energy bills
In 2013, Mr Zahawi claimed £5,882 expenses for energy bills, including to heat his riding school stables and and yard manager’s mobile home.
He came under fire for this and was removed from chairing a meeting about unfair energy bills with the Citizens Advice.
However, Mr Zahawi said it was a mistake and said he had repaid the £4,875.87 overpayment. | https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/who-is-nadhim-zahawi-boris-johnsons-new-chancellors-refugee-story-net-worth-and-expenses-3757941 | 2022-07-06T10:45:50Z | https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/who-is-nadhim-zahawi-boris-johnsons-new-chancellors-refugee-story-net-worth-and-expenses-3757941 | false | 1 |
Amazon Prime Day 2022 is July 12th and 13th, with two days of great deals this year.
But it also brings opportunities for scammers, if you are not careful. And not every deal is the best.
Prime member Megan Allen uses Prime Day to stock up on home goods.
"I usually buy things for around the house, items for decorating, pillowcases and things like that. It's a good deal," she said.
Where to expect the best deals
Besides home goods, Consumer Reports says you can expect big markdowns on Amazon devices like Echos, Ring doorbells, and Amazon Fire TV's.
Based on prior years, CR also expects discounts on smartwatches, robot vacuums, and Instant Pots.
But don't start hunting for deals just yet: Amazon does not announce the deals in advance, and deals change every hour so you have to check back frequently. You must be a Prime member to participate.
Other retailers like Walmart and Target know Prime Day is around the corner, so they're battling for your business by offering their own great deals at the exact same time.
PC Mag's Chandra Steele says if you have a particular product in mind, shop around: Don't assume it will be cheapest on Amazon.
"You can look at Target, you can look at Walmart," she said. If you do your shopping this way, it's easy to compare prices and you may find an even better deal.
Watch out for scammers
Steele, however, warns you to be wary of fake Prime day ads, especially on social media.
"Don't click directly from something else because it could be a phishing link," she cautioned. "It could be a deal that doesn't really exist."
Also, she says, be on alert for fake reviews. Steele says short, generalized comments could be a ploy to get you to buy.
"Maybe the review is something overly complimentary," she said, which could mean it is a shill review.
Lastly, Steele says to keep your deliveries safe from porch pirates by choosing an "Amazon Day" when you order, so it all arrives at once, instead of spreading it out over several different days.
"They'll try to ship everything to you on that day," she said, "so you can guarantee that you or someone else will be home on that day."
But if you are at work all week, or away on July vacation, you may want to have your items sent to an Amazon locker or pickup counter near you, so that way, you don't waste your money.

Ex Liverpool Star Says Cristiano Ronaldo Wanting To Leave Manchester United is 'Madness'
Former Liverpool star Steve McManaman has talked about Cristiano Ronaldo wanting to leave Manchester United - calling it "Madness".
Recent reports have suggested that the 37 year old has asked to be allowed to depart the club, disappointed with the club's ambition and lack of Champions League football.
McManaman: "He only joined a year ago, and that’s just madness in itself. And really he shouldn’t want to leave Manchester United just because they had a poor year. You should want to stay and fight your cause. But I could understand that it might be beneficial to both parties."
“Erik ten Hag’s come in and all he’s been asked about is Ronaldo. It might be better for Ten Hag to make a clean start without him, because he does warrant a lot of press, questions and talking points all season. If Ten Hag wants to get rid and thinks it’s great and all the numbers add up, then there’s not a problem."
The superstar played 38 games in all competitions for United last season, scoring 24 goals and providing three assists.
"He's a superstar but if Manchester United could recoup their money, a new manager coming in might be better to say ‘OK, a new start. Get rid of everybody who doesn’t want to be here. Let’s start afresh’."
He finished: "That’s cool and might be beneficial to Ten Hag. Secretly he might be thinking, ‘this is amazing’. But how this deal is going to materialise when you look at the bigger picture, I just can’t see how it’s going to turn out."

For July 4th: Bach to Paul Simon
I’m not a big consumer of liturgical music. I still listen to Handel’s Messiah on Christmas. So it surprised me when I found myself enjoying a boxed set of LPs of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion recorded about 50 years ago. It’s in German, of course, so I’m not following the libretto, just the voices and instruments.
There’s a theme that will be familiar to those, like me, who have attended a church that features Christian hymns. The title varies, but is sometimes rendered as “O Sacred head, sore wounded.” The German text is by Paul Gerhardt, based on a poem attributed to either Arnulf of Leuven or Bernard of Clairvaux, one a medieval sacred poet and the other a Cistercian abbot. Surprisingly, the melody comes from a secular song by Hans Leo Hassler, written around 1600. The title is “Mein Gmüth ist mir verwirret” which translates as “My mind is confused” and the cause is the sight of a beautiful young woman.
Paul Simon’s “American Tune” is based on the same melody.

Sydney FC won the 2019 A-League Grand Final against the premiers Perth Glory. Both teams gave it their all with the game going into extra time and then a penalty shootout. Sydney FC emerged victorious 4-1.
The Premiers, Perth Glory, met the second-placed finishers Sydney FC in this year's A-League Grand Final.
The game was held for the first time at Optus Stadium in Perth, in front of an A-League Grand Final record attendance of 56,371 fans.
Only twice in A-League history has any team won an A-League Grand Final outside of their home state (Sydney FC in 2009/10, Melbourne Victory in 2017/18). Combining this with the fact that Perth Glory have lost only one of their last 10 A-League games on home turf (W8, D1), Perth Glory coach Tony Popovic was going into this match with great confidence.
Popovic was in familiar territory having guided the Western Sydney Wanderers to three Grand Finals. He refreshed Perth Glorym, and they have rewarded him with a remarkable season.
Sydney FC is not a team to be written off easily though. This was Sydney FC’s fifth appearance in an A-League Grand Final (W3, L1). And, Sydney FC have won 10 of their last 11 A-League games against Perth Glory, including a 3-0 win in their only post-season clash (semi-final, 2016/17).
The game kicked off and the teams were very evenly matched. You could tell you were watching the top two teams in the country. Each team taking the ball, getting into attacking positions and having shots on goal.
Perth Glory had two shots on goal within the first five minutes but couldn't find the back of the net. Andrew Redmayne, Sydney FC's goalkeeper, handled anything that came to him with ease.
Shane Lowry of Perth Glory got the game's first yellow card in the 22nd minute.
In the 28th minute, Sydney FC's Adam Le Fondre slotted the ball past Liam Reddy but the offside flag went up straight away and Sydney fans were subjected to a nervous 60 seconds while the VAR analysed the footage. The goal was ruled offside, much to the frustration of Steve Corica, Sydney's coach, who was given a yellow card for his reaction to the decision.
Alex Brosque had to leave the pitch in the final minutes of the first half due to a cut on the back of his head after a clash with Matthew Spiranovic.
The second half found Perth Glory's Diego Castro with his eye in, with multiple shots on goal.
The 59th minute saw frustrations starting to show with Rhyan Grant making a heavy tackle on Perth's Jason Davidson.
Andy Keogh came off the bench for Perth in the 73rd minute. This seemed to inspire Perth Glory who went on the attack on Sydney's goal.
In the 88th minute Sydney FC's Rhyan Grant got a yellow card after another big tackle.
Three minutes of stoppage time was added and Sydney FC had a good opportunity in the 92nd minute with a free kick, however Perth's defence held firm.
Neither team could capitalise on the time added and the game went into extra time.
The 95th minute saw Alex Brosque leave the pitch having played his last A-League game.
Bodies and legs were getting tired but both teams still kept giving it their all.
No goals came in extra time and the Grand Final went to penalties. Both goalkeepers had been solid all night so the competition continued and all the fans were confident of a win for their team.
Andrew Redmayne proved the difference, saving two penalties. Reza Ghoochannejhad slotted the winning goal through for Sydney FC and the Sky Blues and their fans were jubilant. It was a sky blue night in Perth.

Plenty of us decided to welcome new four-legged friends into our homes in the last couple of years – according to Kennel Club figures dog ownership soared by nearly eight percent – and post-lockdown demand for puppies remains high.
There are a whopping 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds, so there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your family’s latest addition.
There’s even academic guidance to seek out, with Psychologist Stanley Coren’s book ‘The Intelligence of Dogs’ ranking breeds by instincts, obedience, and the ability to adapt. One thing worth considering before making a decision is that certain breeds of dog are very loving and affectionate, liking nothing more than snuggling up to their owners for a cuddle.
Meanwhile, others just aren’t so demonstrative, having a more independent attitude and more likely to keep themselves to themselves in their own bed of an evening – rather than on the couch next to you. So, here are the 10 most and least affectionate breeds of dog.

When our Avid-Sundance system reached end-of-life, we carefully accessed all master control automation and found Aveco a stand-out leader. There are many important innovations in playout and we wanted to use them now!
However, our transition period had to happen during COVID-19. We were amazed at how smooth the process went—a major master control replacement, adding many new features, while no one could come on-site! A well-designed transition plan and the workflow automation scripting in Aveco helped a lot.
The Transition Plan
Aveco has a direct database conversion from Avid-Sundance (and others) as well as BXF integration with Myers ProTrack traffic and API integration with Telestream-Masstech. All existing media and metadata migrated easily into Aveco.
Via BXF, whenever a trimming or segmentation update is made in Aveco, the updated “confirmed timing” instantly updates both ProTrack and Masstech. Bi-directional MXF was one of our first steps.
In the past, Iowa PBS used many video server ports for ingest but Aveco’s equipment pool management efficiently allows sharing of ingest ports for program feeds, studio feeds, archival ingest, etc. It implements priorities to ensure important scheduled feeds are never missed and provides equipment pool sharing of video server ports for video roll-ins during live production. Aveco also controls live graphics—bridging master control and production use of shared resources.
While Iowa is the center of political hurricanes every four years, we’re also in the center of “Tornado Alley”—our Intelliweather system is integrated with Aveco master control to bring instantaneous storm updates; every second matters.
Iowa PBS has a great staff and training remotely due to COVID—on a new advanced automation platform—was expected to be a big challenge. There were many new features and workflow improvements to learn. The new Aveco software was easy to understand, the trainers had a great grasp of what’s needed, and our staff got up to speed surprisingly fast.
Cloud Leadership
There are many features our staff especially like in Aveco—the integrated MAM, multichannel timeline, BXF bidirectional integration between Aveco-ProTrack and Masstech, the efficiency of equipment pooling, the easy sharing of master control and studio production, ease of use, great reliability, the safe client-server architecture, and the flexibility of unattended and remote operation. We were and continue to be very pleased with Aveco’s responsiveness to our comments and concerns and their flexibility at working with us on refinements to the overall operation of the system.
Most broadcast technologists see current or near-term use of the cloud for a variety of functions—MAM, storage, playout, pop-up channels. It was impressive to see Aveco’s early leadership in this area, with on-prem, hybrid cloud and full cloud operation on air for a range of quality broadcasters. Aveco controls our Harmonic Spectrum platform on-site and the Harmonic VOS360 cloud system which we may use in the future.
TV is in another fast rate of change—over the years, there have been many major waves. We’ve found some smaller companies are the best in innovating and adapting and we consider Aveco one of these and are honored to work with them and other quality manufacturers helping lead our industry.
