THE last few homes have been released for sale at Dalnair, marking the completion of the latest phase of development at the estate, which is located at Drymen near Loch Lomond.
Sited in the shadow of historic Dalnair Castle, which dates from 1884, Castle View comprises six five-bedroom luxury homes, formed around a small cul-de-sac.
Since its purchase by the FM Group in 2016, the castle has been extensively refurbished, and the ten apartments, including the penthouse, have recently sold out.
The detached homes, generously proportioned at just over 3,000 sq ft, come in two different styles - The Oak and The Beech - and are set in extensive private grounds, on the edge of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.
Priced from £750,000, each house-style offer impressive open plan living accommodation, five bedrooms, separate home office and several en-suite facilities. It includes a log burner in the lounge, German designer kitchens and Porcelanosa tiling.
The development lies on a tree-lined driveway, also leading to Dalnair Castle, located at the edge of the village of Croftamie.
Robert Croll, sales manager for the FM Group, said: "The release of the last few luxury homes provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in a truly stunning location, lying in the shadow of the fabulously restored Dalnair Castle.
“Despite its rural parkland setting, on the edge of world-renowned Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, Dalnair Estate is highly accessible, and both Glasgow and Stirling can be reached within a mere 25 minutes.”

A new threat to crypto users looking for Bitcoin mining software on YouTube has been reported. It is a crypto-malware spreading through the video platform, according to a report. Named “PennyWise”, this cryptocurrency malware tricks users to download software that can steal data from 30 crypto wallets and browser extensions.
Not just hot wallets, this malware reportedly targets cold crypto wallets such as Zcash, Armory, Bytecoin, Jaxx, Exodus, Ethereum, Electreum, Atomic Wallet, Guarda, and Coinomi as well. According to cyber intelligence company Cyble, the PennyWise malware is an “emerging threat” which has been developed recently.
In a blog post dated June 30, Cyble said that fraudsters, or the threat actors, are spreading PennyWise as a free Bitcoin mining software. They have posted over 80 YouTube videos which contain the links to download the malware. Individuals looking for Bitcoin mining software on YouTube may become the victims of this malware.
PennyWise targets over 30 Chrome-based browsers, over 5 Mozilla-based browsers, Opera and Microsoft Edge. The malware can take screenshots and steal sessions of chat applications like Discord and Telegram.
“Pennywise is an emerging stealer which is already making a name for itself. We have witnessed multiple samples of Pennywise out in the wild, indicating that Threat Actors may already be deploying it,” Cable said in the blog post.
“Though there is not much information regarding its adoption by cybercriminals at the moment, in the future, we may see new variants of this stealer and observe further samples in the wild,” it added.

According to the cyber intelligence company, the malware has been designed not to steal from users in countries like Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. “This could indicate that the TA is trying to avoid scrutiny by Law Enforcement Agencies in these particular countries,” the company said.
What should users do?
Users should always avoid downloading pirated software from unverified websites. They should use strong passwords and keep updating them at regular intervals. Users should also enforce multi-factor authentication.
One should always refrain from opening untrusted links and email authenticity. | https://www.financialexpress.com/digital-currency/what-is-pennywise-new-crypto-stealing-malware-spreading-through-youtube/2584912/ | 2022-07-06T11:18:42Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/digital-currency/what-is-pennywise-new-crypto-stealing-malware-spreading-through-youtube/2584912/ | true | 1 |
Knicks Trading Julius Randle? Or Should New York Wait?
“The Knicks have inquired with other teams about moving Julius Randle. ... We’re talking about like giving him away.''
The New York Knicks are in the process of re-shaping their roster, having already moved four players out in order to create the space needed to sign Dallas Mavs ex Jalen Brunson.
The buzz says they are not done moving and shaking, and of course if another "big move'' - Utah's Donovan Mitchell? - is on the horizon, then there are reasons to push out more players.
Including Julius Randle. But there is also an "if.''
Randle was among the NBA's most improved players in 2021 but things didn't work as well for him and the Knicks last year. Thus the buzz that suggest he - and his $23 million price tag - might be on the trading block.
Via The Athletic : “The Knicks have inquired with other teams about moving Julius Randle. ... We’re talking about like giving him away.''
Randle has a contract that goes through 2026, and that could be considered burdensome. But presently, at age 27, we would suggest that the Knicks would be better-served by letting the new cast of characters, led by the unselfish (but able-scoring) point guard Brunson, might mesh. Will the grouping of R.J. Barrett, Obi Toppin, Mitchell Robinson, Immanuel Quickley and Brunson make the Knicks a more likely playoff team with, or without, Randle?
Patience makes sense. That is, trading Julius Randle is part of the path to adding another star. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2654978810002/knicks-trading-julius-randle-or-should-new-york-wait | 2022-07-06T11:22:28Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2654978810002/knicks-trading-julius-randle-or-should-new-york-wait | false | 2 |

Sainz takes 1st pole, Verstappen booed at British GP
SILVERSTONE, England — (AP) — It took 151 attempts for Carlos Sainz to earn his first Formula One pole. Now he'll chase that elusive first win.
But starting alongside Sainz on the front row Sunday at the British Grand Prix will be defending F1 champion Max Verstappen, a year removed from the crash with Lewis Hamilton that turned their title fight into a bitter rivalry.
Verstappen was booed by some in the crowd after Saturday's action-packed qualifying session in the rain, and said he could barely hear his on-track interview questions over the jeers.
“If they want to boo, they do that. For me, it's not going to change anything,” he said. “Maybe some of them don’t like me, but that’s fine. They all have their own opinions. I don’t care.”
Sainz set the fastest time late in the third qualifying session to edge Verstappen by just .072 seconds. It was the seventh pole in 10 races for Ferrari this season, though Sainz teammate Charles Leclerc had earned the first six poles prior to Sainz's surprise run.
“First pole position, it's always special, and especially to do it in Silverstone in the wet,” Sainz said. “Kept it cool through the session and toward the end I decided to push.”
Sainz narrowly missed out on what would have been his first career win two weeks ago at the Canadian Grand Prix, where he finished just behind Verstappen. The Spanish driver has been on the podium 11 times in his career but never on the top step. He's finished second three times this season.
Leclerc will start third, ahead of Sergio Pérez in the second Red Bull.
Sunday’s race is expected to be largely dry after a rainy qualifying session. The improved conditions could favor the two Red Bulls after Verstappen set the fastest lap time of anyone this weekend in the final practice session before the rain began to fall at Silverstone.
Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton qualified fifth for his home race as Mercedes seemed to have made progress with its problems of bouncing at high speed. His teammate George Russell was eighth.
As Verstappen spoke trackside following qualifying, the boos were audible for the Dutchman and he could barely hear the questions being asked during his interview. Hamilton wasn't pleased with the reaction from his home crowd toward his rival.
“I think we are better than that. I would say we don’t need to do booing, but we have got such great fans and our sporting fans, they feel emotions, ups and downs, but I definitely don’t agree with booing," Hamilton said. "I don’t know, maybe some of them are still feeling the pain from last year still. Either way, I don’t agree.”
Verstappen and Hamilton collided in last year's race, with Verstappen hitting the wall while Hamilton overcame a penalty to win. The incident further heightened their often-bitter rivalry in a title race ultimately won by Verstappen, and turned some British fans against Verstappen.
He was taken to a hospital for observation following the crash and complained that Hamilton showed poor sportsmanship by celebrating the victory as Verstappen was being medically evaluated.
Drivers have been addressing negative fan reactions of late, with Russell on Thursday noting he was booed by a random fan in Montreal two weeks ago. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff sided with his drivers.
“We shouldn’t be seeing any booing in any sports,” Wolff said. “I think that’s unsportsmanlike. It’s clear that we love the support the drivers have here and the team, that’s fantastic, and the enthusiasm. But if you’re not into the other guys, just remain silent. That would be a good way.
"I think none of the drivers deserve any booing whatever happened last year, whatever the competition is.”
The build-up to this year’s race has been dominated by three-time F1 champion Nelson Piquet’s use of a racial slur and homophobic language to describe Hamilton in an interview which was filmed last year after the crash at Silverstone. The interview did not receive wide attention until this week, ahead of the return to the track.
Hamilton and other drivers condemned Piquet. Verstappen, who is dating Piquet’s daughter, Kelly, said Piquet had used “very offensive” language but added that the Brazilian was also “a really nice and relaxed guy” who was not a racist.
Leclerc said he felt his Ferrari was “competitive” but a mistake prevented him for challenging for pole position.
“I knew it was the lap where I had to put everything together and I didn’t as a driver, so I didn’t deserve to be on pole,” he said.
Further back on the grid, there was another surprise in the rain as Nicholas Latifi qualified a career-best 10th for Williams. The Canadian has not finished a race higher than 14th all season and was driving an older version of the car than his teammate Alexander Albon, who was 16th.
“To get through to Q2 was a great achievement and a nice confidence boost, and then Q3 was more than we could’ve hoped for,” said Latifi, who has been followed by speculation his seat at Williams is in danger.
“We need to be very strategic in how we approach the race. It’ll be a race of attrition with how we manage the tires. Anything is possible. so we’ll focus on our own race and maximize any opportunities that may come our way.”

HE was the ultimate neighbour from hell – a man so despised that locals bought wine to toast his eviction after years of terror.
Paul Coombes was branded “a menace to society” for his drunken behaviour, drug dealing, all-night partying and naked dashes around Foresters Tower, in Wood Farm, Oxford.
He led a gang of teenagers who verbally abused passersby and was “so terrifying” that neighbours were scared to walk around in case they bumped into him.
In 2005, he was evicted and slapped with an Antisocial Behaviour Order (Asbo) that prohibited him from returning to the area, but he was jailed just one day later for breaching the order.
The father-of-four fled to Brighton, where he spent nearly three years sleeping under the pier battling drug and alcohol addiction.
He nearly died after dropping to eight stone but in an inspirational twist, the 58-year-old has turned his life around and now mentors rough sleepers, addicts and ex-cons.
Paul told The Sun: “I was one of the most hated people in Oxford because of my drug dealing, my behaviour and my addiction.
"I literally ran wild and was a nightmare neighbour, I was a pain in the backside for everyone in the community
“My face was all over the papers in Oxford and residents were toasting my imprisonment because of my behaviour.
"I was a very angry man back then and hardened heart because I was a child of the care system, I had no care or love for anyone
"The coin has been flipped now, I give everything of myself to everyone and will do anything to stop anyone from having a life like mine."
Most read in The Scottish Sun
Paul says his problems began at an early age – at 11 years old he started running away from home "because it was safer on the streets".
By 14, he signed himself into care after sleeping in graveyards, dumps and in shop doorways.
“Once, I remember I took all the doormats from an old people’s block, piled them up around a toilet and slept there,” he said.
“I was in and out of detention centres because I was sleeping rough and I was underage. I wasn’t doing anything wrong.
"Whenever police officers found me, they would take me to the police station, feed me fish and chips and put me in a holding cell.
"They would call my mum to say they had found me and take me home until one occasion when she said she didn't want me.”
Paul started using drugs and it set in motion a dangerous cycle of behaviour that led to him receiving an Asbo in 2005.
It followed the closure of a rehabilitation centre, where he had been clean for 18 months, and being moved to the Wood Farm estate.
'Ring leader of terror teen gang'
Paul said: "The only place they could find for us was a towerblock where up to 20 drug dealers lived. We were set up to fail."
There Paul became “the ring leader” of a group of teenagers and other men, who verbally abused residents and engaged in reckless behaviour.
Locals claimed Paul would drunkenly shout at passersby and held parties with loud music until the early hours.
The self-professed "neighbour from hell" spent five years tormenting those around him.
“He’s a menace to society… he was very frightening,” one neighbour told the Oxford Mail in 2005.
“I didn't even want to go to the rubbish chute, you never knew where him and his gang would pop up next.”
Just one day after Paul received an Asbo, which banned him from entering the estate, he was arrested for trying to return to his old home.
We will be bringing out the wine tonight. It's the best thing that could have happened!
Local resident's thoughts on Paul being jailed
His lawyer claimed the 40-year-old was trying to retrieve a sleeping bag after being turned away from a night shelter because they were full.
Paul was sentenced to 28 days in jail, which then councillor Claire Kent hoped would “send out a message to the youth that looked up to him as their leader”.
“We won’t put up with antisocial behaviour,” she said. “It's a shame he won't be in for longer.
His Asbo was also extended to the whole of England and Wales, which prohibited him from “behaving in a manner that causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any person.”
At the time, Paul said "my whole life has gone" but sympathy was in short supply after countless warnings over his actions.
One resident said: “We will be bringing out the wine tonight. It's the best thing that could have happened.”
'I nearly died under Brighton Pier'
After Paul was released from jail, he realised he “had no idea where to go” and with just £92 in his pocket hopped on the first train from Platform 2.
He said: “When I got to Brighton, I visited every pub on the road leading down to the beach.
"I dug a hole in the pebbles, dragged them around me and slept there for the night.
“I wasn’t sure if I was going to wake up but that didn’t seem to matter.”
Days later, in a disused section of the beach, Paul found an dilapidated and abandoned caravan under the Brighton Pier.
"It was covered in dead pigeons, which I had to clean out, and put cardboard everywhere," he recalled.
"I sneaked in there every night. It was my home for nearly three years."
Paul was discovered by a faith-based outreach programme and started his first of many attempts to turn his life around.
In 2012, his recovery was rocked after being reunited with mum Megan, who was dying from pancreatic cancer and had just weeks to live.
"I had so many questions for her, like who my father was and why she gave up on me but when I saw her I couldn't," Paul said.
"She was a 72-year-old skeleton, orange from the chemo and when I sat beside her, she lay her head on my chest. It was like holding a child."
When Megan died, Paul went off the rails once more.
Now I help former addicts
Eventually, he received help from a Christian group that raised money to send him to Clouds House rehab - famed for treating Robbie Williams, Amy Winehouse and others.
Later, he moved to Boscombe, in Dorset, where he's helped countless rough sleepers, addicts or former criminals to turn their lives around too.
“Throughout my drug addiction, all I wanted was for someone to listen to me, to understand me, to love me and to believe in me,” Paul explained.
“You feel so hopeless when you’re living on the streets, people look at you like you are nothing and a nobody.
“But we have so many talented men and women on our streets, they’ve all got skills that could be used. We just need to be patient with them.”
Paul, who got married nearly three years ago, says “the pain” of his life helps him to stand up for others who are often looked down upon by society.
He added: "I’m quite thankful for my past, it’s made me the man I am today, and has helped me to see the beauty in these young and hurt men, women and children on our streets.
“What we need to remember is that every homeless person is just like a hurt kid, something will have happened in their lives that turned them to addiction.
“If you can deal with the hurt child, you’ll deal with the hurt man or woman. It’s easy. It could take days or weeks but if you’re patient, it will work." | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/9116925/neighbours-from-hell-eviction/ | 2022-07-06T11:32:14Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/9116925/neighbours-from-hell-eviction/ | true | 4 |

Judges keeping Capitol riot trials in DC amid bias claims
WASHINGTON (AP) — For some of the Washington, D.C., residents who reported for jury duty last month, a pro-Trump mob’s assault on the U.S. Capitol felt like a personal attack.
Ahead of a trial for a Michigan man charged in the riot, one prospective juror said a police officer injured during the melee is a close friend. Another has friends who are congressional staffers or journalists who worked at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A woman whose boyfriend lived near the Capitol recalled the terror she felt that day.
None of them served on the federal jury that swiftly convicted Anthony Robert Williams of storming the Capitol to obstruct Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential electoral victory.
But their personal connections to the riot highlight the challenge facing judges and attorneys in choosing impartial jurors in Washington to decide the hundreds of criminal cases stemming from the insurrection — especially as lawmakers hold high-profile public hearings on the insurrection less than a mile from the courthouse.
One of the most serious cases brought by the Justice Department in the Capitol attack has already been delayed after defense attorneys argued that their clients couldn’t get a fair trial in the midst of televised hearings by the House committee investigating the riot.
And a growing number of defendants are pushing to have their trials moved out of Washington, saying the outcome of the first trials proves that the odds are unfairly stacked against Jan. 6 defendants in the nation’s capital.
“D.C. is a city that, as a whole, feels that it has been the victim of a crime,” attorneys in two cases against members and associates of the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group wrote in court papers seeking to have their trials moved to Virginia.
Prosecutors and judges see no evidence that Capitol rioters can’t get a fair trial in the district and believe the process of weeding out biased jurors is working. Judges presiding over Jan. 6 cases have consistently rejected requests to move trials, saying the capital has plenty of residents who can serve as fair jurors.
Prosecutors’ unblemished record so far in jury trials for Jan. 6 cases may speak to the strength of the evidence against the rioters, many of whom were captured on camera storming the Capitol and even bragged about their actions on social media.
It’s the latest in a string of long-shot legal gambits from defendants charged with crimes ranging from low-level misdemeanors to felony seditious conspiracy. Already more than 300 people across the U.S. have pleaded guilty to crimes stemming from the deadly riot. Collectively, 72 jurors have unanimously convicted six Jan. 6 defendants of all 35 counts in their indictments.
The federal court in Washington — where all the Jan. 6 cases are being heard — has seen plenty of politically charged trials, including those for former Mayor Marion Barry, Iran-Contra figure Oliver North and ex-Trump adviser Roger Stone, prosecutors note.
It’s exceptionally rare for judges to agree to move trials to a different location, even in the most high-profile cases. Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, for example, was tried in Boston over the objections of his attorneys even though a large number of people in the city were impacted by the attack, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 others.
If Williams, the Jan. 6 defendant, had had his way, his trial would have been held in his native Michigan. His lawyers argued that inflammatory media coverage of the Capitol attack tainted a jury pool that already was predisposed to view him as somebody who victimized them.
Chief Judge Beryl Howell denied Williams’ request for a change of trial venue before jury selection started on June 27. One by one, the judge questioned 49 prospective jurors before seating 12 jurors and two alternates.
Howell disqualified several prospective jurors after questioning them about their personal connections or strong feelings about the events of Jan. 6. The judge asked a woman if her friendship with an officer whose ribs were broken during the riot would prevent her from being fair and impartial.
“My Christianity says, ‘No,’ but my feelings say, ‘Yes,’” the woman replied.
A man married to a USA Today reporter said Jan. 6 is a frequent topic of discussion among their friends who work at the Capitol.
“It would be very difficult to separate those,” he said before Howell excused him.
Howell also disqualified a woman who described herself as “very left biased” and a former New York City resident who said his “deep-rooted” dislike for former President Donald Trump predates his White House years.
The jurors picked for Williams’ trial included a NASA engineer, a moving company employee, a paralegal, a Wall Street regulator and a former State Department employee. None of them expressed any strong opinions about Jan. 6.
More than three dozen Capitol riot defendants have asked to have their trials moved out of Washington, including at least nine who filed their requests in June. None has succeeded so far.
In denying one such request, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said she agreed with prosecutors that there is no reason to believe that Washington’s entire population was so affected by the events of Jan. 6 that it can’t seat an impartial panel.
“In any U.S. jurisdiction, most prospective jurors will have heard about the events of January 6, and many will have various disqualifying biases,” she wrote.
Before a jury convicted retired New York City police officer Thomas Webster of assaulting a Capitol police officer during the riot, Webster’s lawyer said a survey of Washington residents found that 84% believe Jan. 6 defendants were trying to overturn the 2020 election results and keep Trump, a Republican, in power. The defense attorney, James Monroe, also noted that 92% of Washington residents voted for Biden, a Democrat.
“Given the lopsided political makeup of the District, it is impossible to panel a jury that is not entirely comprised of people preordained to find Webster — a presumed Trump supporter — guilty,” Monroe wrote.
U.S District Judge Amit Mehta rejected the motion, saying the survey shows that nearly half of the Washington residents polled “would keep an open mind in the context of a specific case.”
Members of the Oath Keepers also failed to persuade Mehta to move their trial on seditious conspiracy charges from Washington to Alexandria, Virginia. Their lawyers noted that every Jan. 6 case tried before a jury in Washington has resulted in a conviction.
“That is true, but guilty verdicts are hardly unusual in federal criminal prosecutions,” Mehta wrote. “The mere existence of other guilty verdicts does not mean that the jury pool is inherently tainted.”
Williams’ trial was the first for a Jan. 6 case since a House committee began holding hearings on the Capitol riot, which drew millions of TV viewers.
Defense attorney John Kiyonaga, who represents Capitol riot defendant Robert Morss, said the House committee hearings have “poisoned” the jury pool in Washington. Kiyonaga has asked for his client’s trial to be moved to another district.
“The Committee has spoon fed to the entire nation a precisely choreographed rendition of January 6th defendants as ‘insurrectionists’ and murderous orchestrators of an attempted coup,” Kiyonaga wrote.
A trial was scheduled to start in August for several members of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group charged with seditious conspiracy and accused of plotting to forcibly oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6.
But U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly agreed to move the trial to December after lawyers for some Proud Boys members argued they couldn’t pick an impartial jury in the midst of the House committee hearings.
Defense attorney Carmen Hernandez also cited “non-stop prejudicial publicity” from the House committee hearings as grounds for moving the Proud Boys trial to another district, but the judge hasn’t ruled on that yet.

Five Presentations Will Highlight Findings from the XIPERE® Pivotal Phase 3 Program
VAUGHAN, ON, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX: BLCO) ("Bausch + Lomb"), a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, today announced that five presentations highlighting data from the XIPERE® (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) pivotal Phase 3 program will be presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) 40th annual scientific meeting, which will take place in New York from July 13-16, 2022. The presentations will include a new post-hoc analysis of the pivotal Phase 3 trial (PEACHTREE) evaluating outcomes following treatment with XIPERE® in patients with macular edema associated with chronic uveitis.
"At this year's ASRS annual meeting, we look forward to sharing these data with retina specialists on XIPERE®, which we launched commercially in March," said Christina Ackermann, president, Ophthalmic Pharmaceuticals, Bausch + Lomb. "We have received great interest in XIPERE® from the eye care professional community since then, and we appreciate the opportunity that the ASRS meeting affords us to continue to provide valuable clinical insights on the product, as well as on its novel use of the suprachoroidal space to help treat patients with macular edema associated with uveitis."
Following is a complete list of titles and lead authors for each of the presentations:
- Ghoraba et al. Suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension for macular edema associated with uveitis: Outcomes by anatomic subtypes in PEACHTREE.
- Henry et al. Efficacy of suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension in the treatment of macular edema in patients with chronic uveitis.
- Pan et al. Suprachoroidal use of triamcinolone acetonide: Post hoc analysis of PEACHTREE to evaluate elevations in intraocular pressure.
- Uchiyama et al. Suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension for uveitic macular edema: Outcomes in PEACHTREE by baseline disease characteristics.
- Yeh et al. Suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension for macular edema associated with uveitis: Integrated analysis of two clinical trials.
XIPERE® is a triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension for suprachoroidal use for the treatment of macular edema associated with uveitis, a form of eye inflammation. XIPERE® is the first and only treatment to be approved in the United States for delivery via the suprachoroidal space and the first and only uveitic macular edema treatment to demonstrate clinical efficacy with a BCVA (Best Corrected Visual Acuity) primary endpoint. XIPERE® is administered via the suprachoroidal space using the SCS Microinjector®. The SCS Microinjector® offers unprecedented access to the back of the eye where sight-threatening disease often occurs and provides targeted delivery to potentially improve efficacy and compartmentalization of medication.
XIPERE® (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) for suprachoroidal use is a corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of macular edema associated with uveitis.
Patients should be monitored following injection for elevated intraocular pressure. See Dosage and Administration instructions in full Prescribing Information.
- XIPERE® is contraindicated in patients with active or suspected ocular or periocular infections including most viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva, including active epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, varicella, mycobacterial infections, and fungal diseases.
- XIPERE® is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to triamcinolone acetonide or any other components of this product.
- Use of corticosteroids may produce cataracts, increased intraocular pressure, and glaucoma. Use of corticosteroids may enhance the establishment of secondary ocular infections due to bacteria, fungi, or viruses, and should be used cautiously in patients with a history of ocular herpes simplex.
- Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, and hyperglycemia can occur following administration of a corticosteroid. Monitor patients for these conditions with chronic use.
- In controlled studies, the most common ocular adverse reactions were increased ocular pressure, non-acute (14%), eye pain, non-acute (12%), cataract (7%), increased intraocular pressure, acute (6%), vitreous detachment (5%), injection site pain (4%), conjunctival hemorrhage (4%), visual acuity reduced (4%), dry eye (3%), eye pain, acute (3%), photophobia (3%), and vitreous floaters (3%), and in 2% of patients: uveitis, conjunctival hyperaemia, punctate keratitis, conjunctival oedema, meibomianitis, anterior capsule contraction, chalazion, eye irritation, eye pruritus, eyelid ptosis, photopsia, and vision blurred.
The most common non-ocular adverse event was headache (5%). - Corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy or nursing only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or nursing infant.

Busquets, another year at Barça before finding Messi
Linked to FC Barcelona until June 2023, Sergio Busquets should not extend the adventure. The almost 34-year-old veteran has other plans in mind.
It has now been fourteen seasons since Sergio Busquets wears the colors of the professional team of the FC Barcelona. Arrived at the U18 Blaugrana in 2005, the midfielder rose through the ranks among young people before starting with the pros in 2008. While he will celebrate his thirty-fourth birthday on July 16, the Spanish world champion is about to play the last year of the contract that binds him to Barça. Free in June 2023, he should go to the other side of the Atlantic, with the idea in mind of finding a certain Lionel Messi.
It’s the Mundo Deportivo which indicates this Wednesday that the chances are high that Sergio Busquets will not extend his Barcelona contract. The Spanish media explains that the midfielder will then have fifteen seasons on the clock with the Blaugrana and thathe wants to see something else by joining the American Major League Soccer. The Inter Miami option is advanced. The David Beckham-owned franchise could pull off a quality double shot as Lionel Messi’s name is also mentioned.
See you in a year?
The seven-time Ballon d’Or has never hidden that he would not be against an end to his career in MLS. He too at the end of his contract in June 2023, even if he has an optional additional year, Lionel Messi could therefore go and rub shoulders with the American championship with his former FC Barcelona playmate. Something to particularly salivate the supporters of Inter Miami.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the National Instruments Fourth Quarter 2018 Earnings Conference Call.
At this time, all phone participants are in a listen-only mode. Later we will conduct a question-and-answer session and instructions will follow at that time. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, today's conference may be recorded.
With us today are Marissa Vidaurri, Head of Investor Relations; Alex Davern, Chief Executive Officer; Eric Starkloff, President and Chief Operating Officer; and Karen Rapp, Chief Financial Officer.
I'd now like to turn the call over to Marissa Vidaurri, Head of Investor Relations for opening remarks.
Marissa Vidaurri
Good afternoon. Thank you for joining our Q4 2018 earnings call. During the course of this conference call we shall make forward-looking statements, including statements regarding future growth and profitability, our focus, our customers continuing to innovate, our cash deployment, and our guidance for revenue and EPS for Q1. We wish to caution you that such statements are just predictions, and that actual events or results may differ materially.
We refer you to the documents, the company files regularly with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 22, 2018 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on October 31, 2018. These documents contain and identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements.
With that, I will now turn it over to Chief Executive Officer of National Instruments, Alex Davern.
Alex Davern
Thank you, Marissa. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining our fourth quarter conference call. Our key messages today are record quarterly and annual revenue, record quarterly and annual profit and we delivered on our long term profitability goal in 2018. Before reflecting on the year, I'd like to give an overview of Q4. I'm proud of the team's execution in the fourth quarter despite the recent headwinds impacting the technology sector.
Revenue came in at the low end of guidance due to challenges in the quarter related primarily due to our APAC business, particularly in Greater China. While it's tough to draw absolute conclusions, it is feel to us that recent trade tensions coupled with a weakening PMI and disruptions in the mobile devices market have had an unsettling effect on the market in Asia in Q4.
Despite the challenges in APAC in Q4, I'm proud to report all-time records for revenue and net income both for the quarter and for the full year. We've been very disciplined in our execution over the last two years and Q4 was the highest quarterly non-GAAP net margin in the company's history, a 20% of revenue.
In 2018, revenue was $1.36 billion, non-GAAP net income was $208 million, up 42% year-over-year and up 86% over the last two years. We also generated $275 million in cash flow from operations in 2018 ending the year with $531 million in net cash. We tend to be more aggressive to deploy cash through strategic accelerators within our focus industries to expand the technology capabilities of our platform and reach new customers.
In reflecting in two years as CEO of National Instruments, I'm very pleased with our execution of the team. When I took on the role of CEO in January 2017, we said two key goals, to deliver record revenue and to hit our operating profit target by 2019. I'm happy to say, we achieved both our goals, delivering record revenue in 2017 and again in 2018.
On the profitability side, we hit our long term target of 18% non-GAAP operating margin in 2018, one year ahead of schedule. As a result, our non-GAAP net income has increased by almost 90% since 2016. Many portions of our business reported all-time records this year and while Eric will review our regional and industry results, I'd like to take a few minutes to address the success we saw with our software platform in 2018.
Our customers continue to respond positively to our software investments in LabVIEW NXG. 2018 was a great year for software revenue, we saw double digit growth year-over-year. In addition, we saw continued growth of our software enterprise agreement program demonstrating its widespread adoption in our industry. More than any other metric, this gives me strong confidence in our long term growth potential. We believe that software adoption drives loyalty and gives us access to more of our customers test and measurement opportunities.
As a result, we believe, we are well-positioned to continue investing in our platform both organically and inorganically to address future customer needs and to accelerate our vision to be the leader in software defined automated tests and automated measurement systems.
With record revenue, record profit, record cash flow from operations and a record cash balance, I believe, we're in a very strong position as we start 2019. We believe our focus on key industries enables us to be more aggressive in driving revenue growth in order to expand the technology capabilities of our platform and to reach new customers. We're focused on taking share and positioning NI for long term growth.
To talk more about - more about our performance within these industries and geographically like to turn it over to Eric Starkloff, President and Chief Operating Officer.
Eric Starkloff
Thank you, Alex and good afternoon. Our core strategic vision continues to provide focus for our business. And I'm excited to see how the company continues to work together to achieve that vision. We believe our vision provides clarity in the industries and applications where our platform adds the most value to our customers. And despite its recent economic headwinds, our customers continue to innovate and they use our platform to help them get to market faster and stay ahead of their competition.
We finish 2018 with total year-over-year order growth of 8%. We're pleased with the strong annual performance and the execution of our global teams. In Q4 total orders were up 2% year-over-year excluding the weakness we saw in Greater China, orders were up 5% year-over-year. Greater China was the primary contributor to order weakness in the APAC region where orders were down 7% year-over-year in Q4 and up 3% year-over-year for the full year.
Orders in our EMEA region were flat year over year in Q4 reflecting a headwind in foreign exchange and a weaker European economy. For the full year, orders in EMEA were up 8%. Our Americas region achieved 12% year-over-year order growth in Q4 and 11% order growth for the year.
This is a strong result and builds on multiple years of improving growth in this region. This success is attributed to our intentional investment in our sales evolution, the deep relationships we are building with our customer accounts and a favorable economic environment.
Now turning to industry performance. In semiconductor, we continue to see strong growth with double digit growth year-over-year for orders in Q4 and for the year. We had significant wins in areas we have put deliberate focus on including the validation and production test of early sub 6 gigahertz 5G semiconductors.
Our platform continues to see strong adoption in these applications by providing systems that can be used by our customers across characterization, validation and production test helping them save time and cost. We also saw order growth in our transportation business in Q4 with continued strength in automotive. For the year, we saw solid growth in transportation orders up double digit year-over-year.
While the overall production rate of automobiles weakened in Q4, our customers in automotive continue to invest in key technologies to stay ahead of their competition as the industry is experiencing disruptive change. They are using our platform to address fast growing technology such as electric and hybrid power trains, increased sulfur content and autonomous vehicles.
Despite the weakness in Greater China, our aerospace, defense and government business grew double digits in Q4 and at a high single digit rate for the year. Our platform continues to add significant value in this industry as seen in our strength in this business in EMEA and the Americas. This industry in particular highly values our software centric modular approach as it enables them to meet their needs for highly customized and long lifecycle systems.
In addition to these industries, our broad portfolio of customers in all other industries achieved order growth for the full year and declined in Q4 due to weakness in Greater China. While this business tends to be more closely tied to the overall macroeconomic environment, we have identified and focused on areas within this business to drive growth.
We believe that continued stability in this broad set of customers demonstrates the impact of our continued product innovation and the increasing adoption of our platform. Despite economic headwinds our industry may face, we know that the innovation in our customer accounts must continue and our platform is a critical component of their success. We believe, we are particularly well positioned due to the focus on our vision, our well-executed sales evolution and our product innovation continuing to deliver more system level value to our customers.
Now I'd like to turn the call over to Karen, our Chief Financial Officer for the financial update.
Karen Rapp
Thank you, Eric. I'm proud of our performance in Q4 despite the unexpected weakness in Greater China at the end of the quarter, we were able to close out the year strong with record revenue, record profit, and record cash from operations, which we believe is a testament to the value we offer our customers and the dedication we have to operational efficiency. We met our 18% operating target ahead of schedule reporting 18%, non-GAAP operating margin in 2018.
For Q4, revenue was $360 million at the low end of our guidance due primarily to weakness in Greater China in November and December. In Q4, revenue grew 3% year-over-year. Non-GAAP cash gross margin in Q4 with 78% up 30 basis points year-over-year.
Our Q4 non-GAAP operating margin was 23% increasing 250 basis points from a year ago. The company reported Q4 GAAP net income of $57 million or $0.42 per share. Non-GAAP net income was $71 million or $0.53 per share, which represents a 28% year-over-year increase. For the full year 2018, GAAP revenue was a record $1.4 billion, up 5.4% over 2017.
Our 2018 non-GAAP gross margin was 78%. For the full year, non-GAAP net income was $208 million, up 42% year over year. With non-GAAP operating expenses up only 60 basis points year-over-year at $815 million. The reconciliation of our GAAP and non-GAAP results is included in our earnings news release.
Now an update on our capital allocation strategy. During the quarter, we paid $31 million in dividends and the NI Board of Directors approved an increase of 9% in the dividend taking us to $0.25 per share for Q1. Also this quarter, the Board of Directors approved an increase to our share repurchase plan to 4 million shares. Our effective non-GAAP corporate tax rate for 2018 was 16%. And looking forward based on our understanding of the new tax laws, we estimated 2019 tax rate in the range of 17% to 18% subject to the risk of adjustments.
Now looking at orders in more detail. For Q4 the value of our total orders was up 2% year over year in US dollars. Orders with a value below $20,000 were down 2% year-over-year in the fourth quarter. As an indicator of continued strength in our system sales, we saw all orders over $20,000 up 6% year-over-year. For the year, total orders were up 8% year-over-year.
Although we have started January with 7% year-over-year order growth to-date, we remain cautious due to economic uncertainty and the end of quarter impact we saw in Q4, 2018. We currently expect total revenue in Q1 2019 to be in the range of $305 million to $335 million, up 3% at the midpoint. We expect GAAP fully diluted earnings per share will be in the range of $0.12 to $0.26 for Q1 with non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share expected to be in the range of $0.23 to $0.37.
For these forward looking statements, I must caution you that our actual revenues expenses and earnings could be negatively affected by numerous factors such as any weakness in global economy, fluctuations in revenue from our large customers, foreign exchange fluctuations, expense overruns, manufacturing and efficiencies, adverse effect of price changes and effective tax rates.
In summary, I'm proud of the progress we have made in improving our operating performance this year. We delivered on our profitability goal ahead of schedule and reported record revenue in Q4 and for the year. We will continue to focus on the key industries where we believe our platform is best suited to serve our customers and continue investment in R&D as our customers continue to innovate. We enter 2019 in a position of strength with opportunity to expand top line growth initiatives.
With that, I'll now turn it over to Alex for some closing comments.
Alex Davern
Thank you, Karen. In closing, like other companies in our industry, we're starting 2019 on a cautious note. However, we remain confident in our long term growth prospects. We've made tremendous progress over the last two years delivering innovative new products to drive value for our customers, improving results for our shareholders, securing new growth opportunities for our partners and creating outstanding career opportunities for our employees.
I'd like to thank our employees for their hard work and operational excellence as we continue our journey to be the leader in software defined automated test and automated measurement systems. We continue growth in semiconductor transport and aerospace defense in Q4. It's clear our focus on target industries has enabled us to continue to deliver growth despite for broad challenges in the industrial economy.
With record revenues, record profit, record cash flow from operations and a record cash balance, we're in a strong position as we start 2019. We're focused on taking share and positioning NI for long term growth.
We will now open up for your questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from line of Vijay Bhagavath with Deutsche Bank. Your line is now open.
Unidentified Analyst
Hi, this is Bryan [ph] in, on for Vijay. I just had two questions from my end. First, can you talk about the PMI trends and how we should think about that kind of impacting your end market demand this year?
And then second, what products in particular are kind of exposed to the China weakness that you mentioned earlier? Thanks.
Alex Davern
Yes, so Bryan, thanks for your question. Just in relation to the PMI, obviously we've seen deceleration in the PMIs kind of across the globe over the course of the last quarter or so. And that tends to have a reasonably strong correlation over time with our portfolio business as Eric mentioned early on all other industries.
What I'm particularly pleased about as we look at 2018 overall is that where we really focused our effort we've driven growth both for the full year and in Q4 and so really happy to see us deliver 8% overall order growth for the year and significant improvement in our overall profitability.
As Karen said entering Q1 we are being cautious, we had a reasonably good start to the quarter in January. We are anticipating some knock on impact from the earnings season and anticipating some potential slowdown as we get to the end of quarter here in Q1. So, we're trying to build that into our guidance. I'll let Eric answer the question in relative to the product side.
Eric Starkloff
Yeah. Hi, Brian. So on the product side as the weakness that we saw in Greater China was really broad, wasn't tied to a particular product or product line, as I mentioned from my prepared remarks that kind of crossed many of the industries we serve with the exception in some of the multinational semiconductor companies that stayed relatively strong in the quarter.
And you know a way to think about the performance I guess in Greater China is not just versus the previous year but versus our expectations, we came into the quarter expecting strong double digit growth in Greater China and saw effectively double digit decline
Alex Davern
Thank you, Bryan.
Operator
Our next question comes from line of Scott Devitt with Stifel. Your line is now open.
Scott Devitt
Hey, guys. So again about the China business, as far as timelines go, how should we think about this? Is it going to be more of a short term thing or is this going to be over in the next couple of years?
Alex Davern
It is a very good question. You know suddenly or certainly that the deceleration that we saw as Eric mentioned was quite significant and relatively sudden as we got into November and December. Overall you know looking at this business for 25 years I've been at the company, you know that's an unusual event.
Generally these things don't reverse immediately. So, I would say we're probably looking at this at least for a couple of quarters. I think it's unlikely that this will be a lingering effect beyond that point in time it's difficult to be exact at this stage, but when I've seen this in my past history it tends to be 2 or 3 quarters.
I mean in the end our customers because we sell products that enable innovation. They enable our customers to bring new products to market. They're critical for their ability to be able to continue to innovate. When I've seen this in the past we generally see the business tend to come back reasonably strongly after a period of pause.
Operator
[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from the line of Richard Eastman with Baird. Your line is now open.
Richard Eastman
Yes I'm going just pile on here a little bit. Given the commentary in the press release about revenue would have met expectations without the China slowdown. If I assume that meeting expectations was a midpoint of the guide. So was China down about 15 million in dollars? And could you just give us a sense of how much that might be percentage wise?
Alex Davern
Yes, so Rick, as Eric said earlier on we saw you know we'd expected continued double digit growth in China. And we actually saw effectively a double digit decline. China is roughly half our overall APAC business so it's quite significant in terms of its impact and as we said in the prepared remarks outside of Greater China and the rest of the world in aggregate we met our expectations for Q4.
I wanted to call out also through our China team a really good execution by the team in a difficult environment. We're hearing that from everybody right now but really pleased with the execution of our team in China to deliver I believe a continued gaining market share. Well that will remain to be seen when we see all the numbers out there. And really being a key part of our growth over the last number of years helping us deliver our profitability.
Richard Eastman
Was the business in China was it any what focused or concentrated on the handset test every business because we had that hiccup in the first quarter. So presumably that business doesn't come back like it had been prior to last year's first quarter. But as you know Eric mentioned it was across the board but the handset test business I mean what does that look like therefore - that just kind of stay flat and down.
Alex Davern
I'll comment, Rick. Yeah, as I mentioned it was across the board is included as we mentioned some weakness in that supply chain but also in other parts of China business across all the different industries effectively that we serve. So, it wasn't just isolated to the mobile devices supply chain.
So, you're seeing it Rick in areas you know you're seeing some slowdown in investment in transport there. Aerospace, defense, academic, broad industries you know and were that all seems broad bellwether actually. So if semi continued to be strong as we're seeing a lot of disruption overall but in general a lot of the spaces that we serve in China seem to see a simultaneous impact.
Richard Eastman
Is that showing up in the orders under 20,000 primarily? Or is it in greater than $20,000 order bucket?
Alex Davern
In terms of overall impact you know as Eric said in his prepared remarks, I mean the impact on our growth was the difference between plus 5% without Greater China and plus 2% with it. Obviously, when you count our actual growth expectation the impact is more significant than that but certainly felt more on orders over 20 K which is kind of where you'd expect to see you know a decision being made to slow down or show up.
Richard Eastman
Okay. And then if I might, could you just give the FTE number? And a question around what that might look like in 19? And then also Alex if sales growth for the full year would be let's just say 5% or low single digit. Will now he have the ability to deliver you know a 30% incremental EBIT? Or how should we think about the leverage model here given how we're starting with first quarter sales guide that you know somewhere between minus two and plus 7?
Karen Rapp
Sure. Rick, hi this is Karen. Let me take that question. From a headcount perspective, we ended the year just shy of 7300 people, 7,263 from an operating - from an operating model, we are sticking to the model that we presented back in May at Investor Day. If we model out a 5% revenue growth level we would expect to still continue to see 18% and 19% operating income. And we'll have an update for that in May this year. I hope you can make it to Investor Day again as we get that in Austin.
Alex Davern
So you've been following this for a long time almost as long as maybe in my 25 years here. We've had three previous recessions that I've been in leadership for and we are much better prepared frankly should we see a slowdown of significance this time around.
We're our operating model target in 2019 which is important. You know - 75 million in cash flow from operations for the year record cash balance, we've increased our variable comp component. So you know we set a target to be between 15 and 20 an operating margin and net 80% through the cycle.
We're very serious about that and I've been preparing for the last two years to do exactly that. So I definitely feel like we're much better prepared than we have been in the previous three slowdowns and I look at this should there be you know some period of slowdown here also is an opportunity and an opportunity for us to gain share.
We tend to gain share more when our customers are more focused and more cost conscious. And it may also be an opportunity from a deployment of cash through a strategic accelerators that we believe will enhance our ability to drive long term revenue and market share gains over time.
Operator
And I'm showing no further questions in queue at this time. I'd like to turn the call back to Mr. Davern for closing remarks.
Alex Davern
Thank you very much. Appreciate your time today and we look forward to talking to you in April. Also take the time to check out our Investor Conference Planning for NI week and make sure to get your registration in. Thank you.

Production teams behind the BBC Antiques Roadshow television programme have been given rules over how they deal with colonial items. Those involved in the popular show have been told they must be "sensitive" when handling such items.
A new briefing document has been issued to those making the show. It spells out how any such items which are brought in to be valued or which will appear on the programme must be dealt with.
The document, produced by the BBC, has been sent to production companies tendering to make the show. It tells them they must ensure sensitivity, reports Birmingham Live.
The corporation said: “The high-profile nature of Antiques Roadshow means it is often under a great deal of scrutiny as to how it handles sensitive areas such as colonial history. We are looking for experience in managing compliance issues and reputational risk.”
Antiques Roadshow has been on air since 1979. It has not only reached millions of people in the UK but other versions have been produced across the world.
Last night, the BBC said: “Where we have relevant details about items, Antiques Roadshow experts have always explored their provenance including the history of the British Empire.”
It travels across Britain, bringing together in each location specialists in antiques and fine arts to have them appraise items brought in by local residents. It sees both collectors looking to turn trash into treasure along with ordinary folks hoping Grandma's old painting might now fund the kids' education.
Items featured on the programme often have an interesting story attached to them or have some connection to that episode's venue. While some items that are brought in are worth a fortune, others are worthless.
BBC Antiques Roadshow continues to air on Sundays on BBC One and also on the BBC iPlayer.

Our Yorkshire Farm fans flood Amanda Owen with support after ‘serious’ farming mishap
OUR Yorkshire Farm fans rushed to support Amanda Owen's son Reuben after a failed "rescue mission".
The Channel 5 star, 47, posted photos of the teen attempting to tow a tractor with a Land Rover, but the car unfortunately got stuck in the mud as well.
Amanda shared the mishap on Instagram, writing: “Horsepower of a different type required.
“A long walk & a late night for @reubenowen74 after a Land Rover tow fail.
"A rescue mission gone wrong & now mummy & brother Miles calling from bogged.”
Amanda's fans were quick to send their support: "Oh heck! I saw them walking along the A686 into Langwathby on my way home from work. I wondered what had happened. Hope they’re getting sorted."
Another posted: "I've heard of having a sinking feeling but that is literally a sinking feeling."
A third said: "Oh dear. Hope you soon get sorted although goodness knows how you get both out of than bog."
Another fan added: "Good luck!-don't give up! All's well that ends well-I had to be rescued with a flat tyre in town last week, and loads of people helped and rescued me! and then I did loads of work somewhere else! No pats on the back, but I'm happy!"
It comes after fans were left in awe of "powerhouse" Amanda after seeing her shear a sheep.
Most read in News TV
The Channel 5 star expertly handled a male sheep at Ravenseat Farm this week.
She explained that shearing the male sheep as tups tend to be more difficult to work with than ewes.
Wearing a black vest top and pair of jeans, Amanda showed off her shearing skills as the woollen fleece of a sheep was cut off.
Despite her initial concerns, the sheep appeared to be completely relaxed.
The Shepherdess wrote: "The tups are a little more fiddly to deal with and a whole lot bigger and stronger.
"They were far better behaved than anticipated, behaved like true gents and were supremely patient whilst being manhandled."
Amanda's fans praised her for her work ethic, with one writing: "Looks like the tup is finding the whole experience quite therapeutic."
Last week, Amanda opened up about "distancing herself from others" before her marriage breakdown.
Amanda, who recently split from husband Clive, lives on Ravenseat Farm in North Yorkshire - and told how the solitary, rural surroundings can be the hardest thing about living in a remote area.
Speaking at The Game Fair, the Yorkshire Shepherdess confessed: "You can lose yourself and distance yourself from everyone and everything.
"Once I go out of that door to work, it is back to basics. My home life is busy and chaotic, but my work life is solitary. Too much of each one is not good, but living in a remote place gives me peace and quiet."
Last month, it was revealed Clive, 66, and Amanda's 21-year marriage had come to an end.
Family friends revealed the couple were battling to save their marriage - with mum-of-nine Amanda spending nights away from the family home.
They dealt with the difficulties at home in private, while Amanda was promoting her new book hailing the virtues of domestic life.
Meanwhile, at the time, Clive, 66, was said to be “desperate” to repair their relationship | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19107528/our-yorkshire-farm-amanda-owen-son-reuben-tractor/ | 2022-07-06T12:08:28Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19107528/our-yorkshire-farm-amanda-owen-son-reuben-tractor/ | false | 3 |

SYDNEY, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA; ASX: KZA), an oncology-focused drug development company, is pleased to announce that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has awarded Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) to Kazia's paxalisib for the treatment of atypical rhabdoid / teratoid tumors (AT/RT), a rare and highly-aggressive childhood brain cancer.
Key Points
- Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) is granted to drugs which are under development for rare childhood diseases.
- RPDD means that the sponsor may be entitled to receive a pediatric priority review voucher (pPRV) if the drug is initially approved for that rare childhood disease. A PRV grants the holder an expedited six-month review of a new drug application. PRVs are tradeable and have historically commanded prices in excess of US$ 100 million.
- FDA's award of RPDD follows the presentation of promising preclinical data for paxalisib in AT/RT, which was presented by Professor Jeffrey Rubens and colleagues at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA, in April 2022.
- Paxalisib was previously granted orphan drug designation (ODD) for AT/RT by FDA on 16 June 2022.
Kazia CEO, Dr James Garner, commented, "this is the second time that paxalisib has been granted RPDD, and it demonstrates the importance of childhood brain cancer in the overall paxalisib development program. Brain cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in children, and outcomes in many forms of childhood brain cancer have not improved in decades. We very much hope that paxalisib can make a difference to families affected by both DIPG and AT/RT, and we will be working closely with clinicians, researchers, and FDA to determine the optimal way to move the drug forward."
Rare Pediatric Disease Designation
The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (2012) established FDA's RPDD initiative. RPDD may be granted to drugs in development for diseases which primarily affect children (under the age of 18 years), have an incidence of less than 200,000 new cases per annum in the United States, and which are serious or life-threatening.
A sponsor of a drug with RPDD may request a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV) at the time of a marketing application to FDA. In effect, the PRV shortens the FDA review period for a future marketing application of any drug from 12 months to 6 months. PRVs can be sold to other companies and have historically been transacted at prices in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars. For a large company launching a billion-dollar drug, the six-month acceleration in regulatory review can be of substantial economic value. In 2019, five pediatric PRVs were granted by FDA.
Next Steps
A phase II clinical trial of multiple drug therapies, including paxalisib, is ongoing, under the sponsorship of the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) (NCT05009992). This study combines several investigational drugs in the treatment of patients with diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), a category which includes DIPG. Initial data from this study is anticipated in CY2023.
A phase I study of paxalisib in DIPG, led by St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN (NCT03696355), is nearing completion, and final data is expected to be submitted for publication by the end of CY2022.
About Kazia Therapeutics Limited
Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA; ASX: KZA) is an oncology-focused drug development company, based in Sydney, Australia.
Our lead program is paxalisib, a brain-penetrant inhibitor of the PI3K / Akt / mTOR pathway, which is being developed to treat glioblastoma, the most common and most aggressive form of primary brain cancer in adults. Licensed from Genentech in late 2016, paxalisib commenced recruitment to GBM AGILE, a pivotal study in glioblastoma, in January 2021. Seven additional studies are active in various forms of brain cancer. Paxalisib was granted Orphan Drug Designation for glioblastoma by the US FDA in February 2018, and Fast Track Designation for glioblastoma by the US FDA in August 2020. In addition, paxalisib was granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Designation by the US FDA for DIPG in August 2020, and for AT/RT in June 2022.
Kazia is also developing EVT801, a small-molecule inhibitor of VEGFR3, which was licensed from Evotec SE in April 2021. Preclinical data has shown EVT801 to be active against a broad range of tumour types and has provided compelling evidence of synergy with immuno-oncology agents. A phase I study commenced recruitment in November 2021.

IRVINE, Calif., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Regardless of whether you reside in the U.S. or not, if you are a U.S. taxpayer, you may be required to disclose the nature and amount of the assets you control in foreign banks or other financial accounts, depending on the total value of those assets. It is incredibly important that you file your accurate disclosure on time to avoid the potentially severe penalties that may apply. If you have already missed your opportunity to disclose foreign accounts on time, you and your International Tax Attorney and CPA can make use of one of the several programs available to rectify your past noncompliance.
Discuss your concerns about reporting requirements for your overseas assets with the Tax Law Offices of David W. Klasing by calling us today at (800) 681-1295 or visiting the contact us page of our website to schedule a reduced rate initial consultation.
In 1970, Congress passed the Bank Secrecy Act, a package of legislation that was meant to make it harder for Americans to use offshore accounts to conceal their offshore taxable income from the IRS. Included in the legislative effort was the requirement that all taxpayers with a certain amount of assets in foreign control must file an information return known as the Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, or FBAR.
Though the value of the American dollar has changed dramatically since this time, the reporting threshold has not, meaning that more American taxpayers are subject to FBAR disclosure requirements than ever before.
To enforce the FBAR requirements for a growing number of applicable taxpayers, Congress passed the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) in 2010. FATCA imposes a withholding tax on any foreign bank or firm that fails to report account balances and transaction details of their American clients to the IRS. The government uses the information they obtain through these disclosures to determine whether taxpayers with foreign assets met their FBAR obligations.
If you are an American taxpayer who has over $10,000 in assets held or controlled by a foreign bank, firm, or other financial entity at any point during the tax year, you are required to submit an FBAR. Whether you resided in the continental United States during the calendar tax year or not has no bearing on the requirement.
The threshold is calculated by combining all foreign accounts. Thus, you must file an FBAR if your combined foreign financial accounts exceeded $10,000, even if no single account reached that value by itself during the year.
The number that the government uses to evaluate whether you meet the threshold is the peak value of the assets during the taxable year. Even if the total value of your assets only exceeded $10,000 for one day out of the calendar year, you still must file an FBAR.
FBAR requirements apply to any foreign registered financial accounts with a positive balance that the taxpayer has signatory authority over. This may include foreign registered checking and savings accounts, individual stock holdings or investment portfolios, pensions, joint accounts, business accounts, life insurance accounts and trusts.
The FBAR is an information return, not a tax return. Therefore, you do not owe the government any payment solely in connection with your FBAR filing. It is quite common that you may already be paying tax on your offshore income generating assets to the government of the foreign country where they are held. U.S. taxpayers are taxed on their worldwide net income. To alleviate double taxation, a foreign tax credit can often be claimed to offset your U.S. tax obligations where income is taxed both offshore and, in the U.S.
However, you will unfortunately owe the government substantial amounts of money in penalties if you fail to meet your FBAR reporting requirements. Even if your failure to file your FBAR was an honest mistake, the penalties available start at up to $10,000 per violation per calendar year. With a 6-year statute of limitations this can amount to $60,000 of penalties. If the IRS concludes that you willfully failed to file, filed incorrectly, or filed late, they could impose a penalty of up to either $100,000 or 50% of the balance of the overseas assets, whichever is greater.
Technically, taxpayers who are required to submit FBARs must file them with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (or FinCEN) rather than with the IRS. The FBAR is not filed by mail like a traditional income tax return. Instead, you must file online through FinCEN's BSA E-Filing System. In your filing, you will need information on hand, such as the entity where the assets are held, the relevant account number, and the peak balance of each account during that tax year.
FBARs are due on the traditional tax return deadline of April 15 but have an automatic extension that gives you until October 15 to properly file. However, for the sake of organization, it is always ideal to file your FBAR at the same time that you file your income tax return. CAUTION, if you file your tax returns on April 17th for example while on extension, and file your FBARS on April 18th, they will be considered delinquent.
If you did not file an FBAR for past taxable years because you were not aware of the requirement, you have more options than just waiting for the government to figure it out.
For taxpayers who were filing their federal income tax returns from abroad but not their FBAR disclosures, the best method is often to use the IRS's expat streamlined voluntary disclosure program where the taxpayer's noncompliance was inadvertent rather than willful. Taxpayers that qualify for this program will not face FBAR penalties.
- Quiet Disclosure
- Delinquent FBAR
- Offshore Voluntary Disclosure
- Streamlined Disclosure
- What to do if interested in a Program
You should not attempt to use any of the available offshore voluntary disclosure programs without the help of a knowledgeable International Tax Attorney and CPA. Attempting disclosure too late or disclosing incorrect information can have unexpected and often draconian negative effects on your situation, which can leave you even worse off than you were in the first place.
To hear more about the services that our dual licensed International Tax Attorneys and CPAs can provide, call our offices today at (800) 681-1295 or schedule online here.

Measure expanding telecommuting law coverage to government workers refiled
A SENATOR has refiled a bill expanding the coverage of the Telecommuting Act to government workers.
The proposed measure, filed by Senator Francis N. Tolentino, seeks to amend Republic Act 11165, which allows private companies to offer work-from-home and other alternative work arrangements to employees.
Telecommuting refers to the ability of an employee to complete work assignments outside of traditional workplaces through the use of telecommunications tools such as email, phone, chat and video applications.
Under the bill, telecommuting public sector workers will be provided with a non-taxable monthly allowance of at least P1,000 to cover additional utility costs.
“Working from home tends to increase utility consumption, particularly electricity,” said Mr. Tolentino in the bill. “Residential energy use has risen due to more people staying at home. Some workers even purchase their own equipment for working at home.”
Violators of the bill’s provisions could face a fine of up to P100,000.
The Department of Labor and Employment, Department of Finance, and the Bureau of Internal Revenue will be responsible for the implementation of this Act within 90 days of its effectivity.
The Civil Service Commission (CSC), in a resolution promulgated in May, has already approved flexible work arrangements in the public sector.
“The CSC seeks to institutionalize flexible work arrangements as part of the nationwide effort to transition from a state of public health emergency to the new normal,” it said in a June 6 statement, noting the need for preventive measures to safeguard the health and safety of workers.
There are about 1.7 million government workers, according to the CSC. — Alyssa Nicole O.

England's most impressive football squad ever? As the Women's Euros kicks off, FEMAIL reveals how captain Leah Williamson juggles accountancy training with sport and Millie Bright beat life-threatening childhood illness
- England Lionesses will be hoping for a home victory at the Women's Euros 2022
- Among them is captain Leah Williamson, who is training to be an accountant
- Meanwhile Millie Bright almost died of pneumonia when she was just a week old
As the Women's Euros kicks off today, the England team are looking to win the country's first major trophy since the men's team won the World Cup in 1966.
Sarina Wiegman's side will start the home tournament among the favourites for glory - with hopes the team will go all the way to the final for the first time since 2009 in Finland, where they lost to Germany.
Should England make it to the final, they would walk out at Wembley Stadium on July 31 looking to avenge the demons of the men's team after their Euro 2020 penalty shootout defeat to Italy.
And with a team filled with impressive athletes, it's looking very possible that this summer could be the year football will finally come home.
The team will be lead by captain Leah Williamson, who is balancing her career in football with training to be an accountant.
She will be joined on the pitch by Lucy Bronze, who once worked at a Dominos pizza takeaway, and self declared 'girly-girl' Alex Greenwood.
Meanwhile team-mate Georgia Stanway will also be playing - having won high praise from previous England Women's boss Phil Neville, who has said the Manchester City player could be among the best in the world.

Goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck will be looking to be part of a successful England defence during the tournament, which starts today
Meanwhile Beth Mead risks seeing her ex on the pitch if England are to play against Holland during the contest
LEAH WILLIAMSON
Leah Williamson, a central defender, has been praised for having every attribute: pace, temperament and time on the ball.
The 25-year-old, from Milton Keynes, has been playing since she was six and has called it her 'first love and passion'.
She went on to join Arsenal at the age of nine, having been born into an Arsenal-supporting family.
After watching long jumper Greg Rutherford, who also comes from Milton Keynes, at the 2012 Summer Olympics she briefly considered switching her athletic focus to track and field.
However, luckily for the England squad she stayed focused on her dreams of becoming a footballer.
On Wednesday, the Arsenal centre-back will make her first major tournament start in England's opening Euro 2022 game against Austria at Old Trafford. She'll do it as captain.
The Milton Keynes-born star has 31 senior caps to her name - 12 players in the squad have more, including centurions Jill Scott and Ellen White.
Leah Williamson, a central defender, has been praised for having every attribute: pace, temperament and time on the ball
The 25-year-old, from Milton Keynes, has been playing since she was six and has called it her 'first love and passion'
'She leads by example and what you see is what you get,' vice-captain Millie Bright said.
'She is a very mature individual, both on and off the pitch. She is very calm in the way she leads.
'It's been a delight to see her lead the team out and it's been a big moment for her.'
'She's a very humble person, and player, both on and off the field,' White told the Scotsman.
''I think sometimes with a captain, it is not just what you do away from the game – how you act around the team, and the media.
The Arsenal star has amassed 200,000 followers on Instagram, where she often posts images of her outings with fellow footballers like Alex Scott (pictured centre)
And in May, she was invited by Gucci to Puglia to witness her first-ever fashion show (pictured, on the trip)
The Duke of Cambridge attended the England's women football team training session during a visit of their training centre at St George's Park, in Burton-upon-Trent
'And I think Leah is great with that because it isn't an act – that is just her, and who she is.'
As well as balancing her career as a professional footballer, Leah is also training to be an accountant.
The Arsenal star has amassed 200,000 followers on Instagram, where she often posts images of her outings with fellow footballers like Alex Scott.
And in May, she was invited by Gucci to Puglia to witness her first-ever fashion show.
The captain was also among the footballers who met with the Duke of Cambridge last month and presented him with three football shirts for his children.
ALEX GREENWOOD
Like her team-mate Williamson, Liverpool-born Alex Greenwood, 29, joined a prestigious club at the age of eight, when she signed for Everton
Like her team-mate Leah, Liverpool-born Alex Greenwood, 29, joined a prestigious club at the age of eight, when she signed for Everton.
She told The Telegraph: 'I played up with them [boys] and they treated me like a little sister.
'They didn’t push me away. Not being disrespectful, but probably because I was just as good as them if not better than them.
'So for them it was, "Why would we push her away? She’s as good as us". Maybe I have a different story to other people, but I never struggled or suffered, being a girl. If anything I got respected more because I was a girl.'
If there is anyone who understands the pressure of performing in a football match it is her boyfriend Jack O'Connell, 28, who plays as a centre-back for Sheffield United (left and right)
She later joined Liverpool, before signing to Manchester United. She is currently with Manchester City.
Alex is known as one of the most glamorous members of the squad, with team-mate Jordan Nobbs previously saying she is 'very big into her heels, her dresses and her eyelashes'.
In 2013, she revealed she is a 'girly-girl' and loves shopping as well as getting her hair and makeup done.
She told Liverpool Echo: 'I’ve always been a girly girl and I love getting my hair done but that doesn’t mean I can’t play football.'
If there is anyone who understands the pressure of performing in a football match it is her boyfriend Jack O'Connell, 28, who plays as a centre-back for Sheffield United.
The couple met at school and have been together for several years but prefer to keep a low profile on social media.
They recently jetted off to Dubai for a sun-soaked holiday and shared snaps of the five-star experience on Instagram.
However, she tends to keep a low profile on social media, having previously spoken about how difficult she finds online abuse.
She told The Independent that abuse she received after moving from United to rivals City left her 'wrecked', adding: 'I don’t think people were aware of how badly it actually affected me, because I didn’t let my football suffer...
'Even if your notifications are off, every time you go on social media to engage with your friends or whatever, it’s there.
'And naturally as a human being, the negative ones stick. Those are the ones that play in your mind.'
BETH MEAD
Lifelong passion: Arsenal forward Beth Mead, 27, from North Yorkshire, started playing football at the age of six
Talented: Mead moved to Sunderland aged 16 and juggled a professional career with a degree in Sport Development from Teesside University and commitments as a coach to local schoolchildren
Arsenal forward Beth Mead, 27, from North Yorkshire, started playing football at the age of six.
'I just loved all kinds of sports. Cross country, cricket – anything,' she told Her Football Show.
'I used to go to a local Sunday morning session and I’d play with the boys. I loved it from the first minute. My mum was warned that the boys were quite rough, and was asked if I’d be okay. But she said I was rougher than most of the boys.'
After starting out at a team called California Girls, Mead was picked up by the Middlesbrough Centre of Excellence, now known as Middlesbrough RTC.
She moved to Sunderland aged 16 and juggled a professional career with a degree in Sport Development from Teesside University and commitments as a coach to local schoolchildren.
Mead signed with current club Arsenal in 2017, following in the footsteps of England teammate Jordan Nobbs, who was an inspiration to her growing up.
'She was in the age group above me [at the Centre of Excellence] but was known for playing for the England youth teams and a huge talent,' Mead said.
'I followed a similar pathway to her. She was at Middlesbrough, then went to Sunderland and now I’m at Arsenal with her. I told her that I was a stalker – I’m just following her!'
She made her debut for England's senior team in 2018 and played in the 2019 Women's World Cup in France. However she missed out on the squad for the 2020 Olympics.
She credited the snub with driving her passion last season and says she now feels more 'confident'.
'Hopefully I can take that into the Euros,' she told the Guardian last month. 'I’m in a good place, I’m in a good headspace, my football has been good so I’m just trying to channel that energy in the right way.'
LUCY BRONZE
Lucy Bronze, 30, knows about hard work - having once worked in a Dominos pizza takeaway
She did not take the traditional pathway to success and there was a time when the defender, who has dual nationality through her Portuguese father, thought she might never play for the Lionesses
Lucy Bronze, 30, knows about hard work - having once worked in a Dominos pizza takeaway.
She did not take the traditional pathway to success and there was a time when the defender, who has dual nationality through her Portuguese father, thought she might never play for the Lionesses.
She attended soccer camps in America with former US women’s coach Anson Dorrance, who later signed her to play for the University of North Carolina. Dorrance wrote to the FA as well as clubs in England to try and convince them of Bronze’s ability.
She previously explained: ‘I was 12-years-old and Anson said: “When you’re old enough we want you to play for the university, you’re going to be such a good player”, and he even wrote to a couple of people in England and told them about me. It kind of fell on deaf ears a bit, no one really got back to him. They might potentially be regretting that now!
‘To come from there, and take what is not considered the normal way, and make it to the top, makes everything I’ve done even more special.
'It makes my family even more proud and I can pat myself on the back a little bit harder for it.’
Bronze has now capped 88 times by England and won the Silver Ball at the 2019 World Cup - the award which recognises the second-most outstanding player at the tournament.
She has played for City and Liverpool, and went abroad with Lyon for three years. The experienced full back then returned to City in 2020.
Overall, she won five trophies across both stints, having lifted the Women's Super League, two FA WSL Cups and two Women's FA Cups.
Last month, defender Bronze completed her medical and penned a two-year deal to seal her sensational switch to Barcelona.
MILLIE BRIGHT
Born in Chesterfield in the East Midlands region of England, Millie Bright spent her youngest years immersed in equestrianism
She began playing football at the age of nine, and decided to join the local team after seeing a friend play for the Killamarsh Dynamos
Born in Chesterfield in the East Midlands, Millie Bright's childhood was marred by hospital visits.
She was only eight days old when she was diagnosed with pneumonia and at one point she was in and out of hospital every other day as a result of terrible asthma and a whooping cough which did not subside until after her 14th birthday.
'It was really quite bad,' Bright has previously said about her health problems.
'Eventually I had a steroid machine at home to help me but before I was old enough for that I had to get an ambulance whenever I was having an attack in the night. That would happen several times a week.
'Getting older, my asthma has settled down a little bit now, but back then I just had to decide whether I would let it stop me playing or not.'
Millie, a keen equestrian, began playing football at the age of nine, and decided to join the local team after seeing a friend play for the Killamarsh Dynamos.
She was later scouted by Sheffield United and joined their academy team until age 16 before moving to Doncaster Rovers Belles in 2009.
In December 2014, Bright signed with Chelsea ahead of the 2015 season where she remains today.
In her downtime, Bright, who lives in Surrey, enjoys family time or dog walks with her partner Levi, and says she isn't fussed by the excess that comes with a footballing career.
She prefers casual clothes to big name brands, saying: 'I don’t want young girls to think that you become a footballer and need expensive clothes to be validated.'
Bright, who has been barred from horse riding by insurers, is also invested in her charity work and is an ambassador for the children’s charity Make-A-Wish.
GEORGIA STANWAY
Georgia Stanway has won high praise from England Women's boss Phil Neville, who has said the Manchester City player could be among the best in the world (pictured right, Georgia, and left, team-mate Leah Williamson)
Rising star: New Bayern Munich forward Georgia was the youngest player in England's World Cup squad three years ago but has already proved herself a natural leader and is considered an integral part of the team
Born in Barrow-in-Furness, Georgia Stanway, 23, has been praised for her skills on the pitch for years.
She comes from a sporting family. One brother, JP, plays football for Holker Old Boys in the North West Counties League and another, Wyll, appears almost as frequently in the Barrow Evening Mail as she does, with his cricketing performances for Furness.
She credits competition with the two in the garden and on the beach as key to her development, as well as her Blackburn manager AJ Goodwin.
Having grown up idiolising Alan Shearer, she moved away from her home town aged 16 to pursue her dream of playing football.
Her coaches at City, where she was signed as an 18-year-old from Blackburn Rovers, say it is Stanway’s capacity to perform on any occasion which contributes to the stardust quality.
She is currently signed to Manchester City, whom she joined as an 18-year-old from Blackburn Rovers (pictured right, Georgia with a friend)
In 2016, she was nominated for Young Sports Personality of the Year. It was the first in a string of nominations for the striker, who has gone on to be named the UEFA Women’s Champions League squad in 2018 and PFA Women's Young Player of the Year in 2019
Stanway’s mother, Joanne, tells of one pre-season at Blackburn in which the then 15-year-old felt her goalscoring was rusty, after she had missed a few one-on-ones in a friendly.
Stanway put her mother in goal and, by her own account, she finished the session ‘black and blue, despite trying to dodge rather than save them’.
In 2016, she was nominated for the BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year.
It was the first in a string of nominations for the striker, who has gone on to be named the UEFA Women’s Champions League squad in 2018 and PFA Women's Young Player of the Year in 2019.
Sports power couple: England's Georgia Stanway with Rugby League player Olly Ashall-Bott
Showing up to support: Stanway turns out to cheer on her rugby-playing beau when her schedule allows (as seen above) and there is every chance Ashall-Bott will take in a match over the coming weeks
Phil Neville hailed her skills in 2019, saying: ‘If she keeps her feet on ground, keeps working hard, and keeps listening, she is going to be one of the best players in world football.'
The football star also shares a love of sport with her boyfriend: Rugby League player Olly Ashall-Bott, 24.
Originally from Cheshire, Ashall-Bott currently plays for Toulouse Olympique in the Betfred Super League.
Stanway turns out to cheer on her rugby-playing beau when her schedule allows and there is every chance Ashall-Bott will take in a match over the coming weeks.
ELLIE ROEBUCK
Goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck, 21, from Sheffield, will be representing England having joined Manchester City at the age of just 15
The stunning blonde regularly shares snaps from adventures across the Midlands on her Instagram page
Train driver's daughter Ellie Roebuck, 21, from Sheffield, joined City at the age of just 15 and signed her first professional contract with the club in 2018.
Although she's proud to play in Manchester, Roebuck remains true to her home town.
'I’m massively proud to come from Sheffield,' she told ManchesterCity.com. 'Somehow, no matter how long you go away for, it’s always the same when you come back.'
The city has celebrated their homegrown sporting hero by hanging her poster in the train station.
'My dad's a train driver and he and mum went down to take selfies with this picture. So they're loving it,' she told the BBC.
The team has the possibility of playing at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane ground if they make it to the semi-finals, which Roebuck says is a huge motivation for her.
'That would be a dream come true, it's my Wembley,' she told the BBC.
Ellie, who began her career as a goalkeeper after her team-mates hesitated to don the gloves, is a product of the Sheffield United centre of excellence.
She was spotted by Manchester City as a teenager and has gone from strength to strength at the club.
The 21-year-old was part of the England squad that won bronze medal in the 2018 Under-20 World Cup in France, however she was an unused substitute in all the fixtures.
The player, one of three goalkeepers in the England squad, has suffered a setback this year after she missed much of the 2021–22 season with a calf injury, limiting her to 10 league appearances out of 22.
However she is hoping for better fortunes in the Women's Euros.
She added: 'Playing for your country is one thing, but to do that in a major tournament, and in your own country - it's incredible.'
Away from the pitch, Roebuck enjoys spending time with her French Bulldog Johnny and regularly shares snaps of her adventures on Instagram.
ELLA TOONE
Glamorous football player Ella Toone has 88k followers on Instagram and regularly shares snaps of her nights out and training sessions
The Manchester United player previously played for Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers, and has represented England at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level
The glamorous football player has 88k followers on Instagram and regularly shares snaps of her nights out and training sessions
She may be one of the youngest members of the team, but 21-year-old Ella Toone, from Manchester, is used to representing the country on an international stage.
The Manchester United player and fan first played for her club as a girl before returning four years ago following stints at Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers.
She has represented England at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level.
After leaving school, whilst playing for Manchester United, she enrolled onto a Level 3 Extended Diploma Sport Science course at Wigan and Leigh College.
The glamorous football player has 88k followers on Instagram and regularly shares snaps of her nights out and training sessions.
She still finds time to watch Manchester United at home and away.
'I just love going and supporting; it’s been a part of me since I was a little girl. We get tickets for home games for if we’re not training,' she said.
'I’ve got a little source at the club who sorts me out away tickets but I’m not telling any of the girls that because it’s just me.'
The player bought a total of 24 tickets for England's opening match at United's Old Trafford stadium today.
'My uncle has bought a box with eight of them, I bought a box for my dad so there’s eight in there. I had four [complimentary tickets] and then I bought 16 so there’s a lot of us,' she said.
‘Growing up, supporting Manchester United and having the opportunity to play for Manchester United at Old Trafford was so special and a moment that I’ll never forget and then obviously now, stepping out for England is gonna be amazing.
‘I know that you’ve got to take these moments because they don’t come around often. We’ve sold out Old Trafford, we’re playing for England in our home Euros, these are once in a lifetime things so why not just go out there and enjoy it.’

ST. PAUL, Minn., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Flemish Government and 3M Belgium announced plans for 3M Belgium to invest a total of more than €571 million to benefit the People of Flanders and also carry out certain previously agreed-upon PFAS-related remedial actions. This agreement cooperatively resolves ongoing disagreements between the Flemish Government and 3M Belgium.
"For the Flemish government, the health of our citizens and the protection of the environment comes first," says Flemish Minister of Environment Zuhal Demir. "We expect that every entrepreneur and company takes their responsibility to act upon that. This Agreement is the result of an intense process during months in which 3M Belgium took action and financial responsibility towards our community. It is no secret that Flanders was counting on that as a clear signal towards the Flemish People and as a sign of respect. As a result of this Agreement, we will be able to get things done in the best interest of the People of Zwijndrecht, our local farmers and our prosperity and wellbeing in general. Not only in direct proximity of the plant, but also within the city community of Zwijndrecht and the construction site of the Oosterweel project, without ever letting the health of our citizens be a stake during negotiations. Flanders has the solid ambition of being a region where entrepreneurship goes hand in hand with care and love for the community and our environment."
"This agreement is a major step forward for the People of Flanders, as well as for our operations in Zwijndrecht and our ability to serve our customers. It also reflects 3M's ongoing stewardship journey as a responsible manufacturer and our willingness to engage with communities where we live and work to chart a positive course for the future," said John Banovetz, Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer and Environmental Responsibility, 3M Company. "We greatly appreciate the Ministry's collaboration in reaching this agreement, which builds on the commitments we have previously made and will fully uphold to carry out PFAS-related remediation and provide other support to the Flanders region. We have already taken significant actions to reduce PFAS discharges and emissions. These actions have enabled us to restart operations at the site. Through this agreement, we will address priorities identified by the government to provide for the citizens of Zwijndrecht, build the foundation for future certainty in 3M Belgium's operations, and address future potential liabilities."
3M Belgium's total commitment of €571 million incorporates previous and new commitments, as outlined below:
As noted, under the terms negotiated by the Flemish Government and 3M Belgium, 3M Belgium will commit €250 million for priority remedial actions identified by the government for the benefit of Zwijndrecht's residents, including:
- Remediation of contaminated soil in residential areas (gardens) in proximity to 3M Belgium's Zwijndrecht facility and the functional restoration of the gardens,
- Reduction of flow of contaminated groundwater into the Palingbeek,
- Prevention of future wind dispersion of potentially PFAS-containing soil or dust through a comprehensive dust control plan, and
- Remediation of agricultural and recreational lands in proximity to the facility.
The agreement calls for 3M Belgium to pay €100 million to the Flemish Government to be used in the government's sole discretion in connection with any PFAS released from the 3M Belgium facility. These funds may be used to benefit governmental entities beyond those that are parties to the agreement.
3M Belgium will provide €50 million in financial support and up to €50 million in support services to assist Lantis and facilitate the Oosterweel Project.
The 3M commitments are based on truthful estimates of experts of the OVAM. In addition, under the agreement 3M Belgium agreed to support additional actions to the extent required under the Flemish Soil Decree, if necessary.
3M Belgium will be required to take additional actions to transparently share information with the public about its operations and how the company is fully upholding its responsibilities under the agreement. These include:
- Enhancing and upgrading its publicly accessible websites to help people learn more about its operations in Zwijndrecht and around the globe, the science of PFAS and more, all in consultation with the Flemish Government. 3M Belgium will provide updates on ongoing Descriptive Soil Investigations, Remedial Action Plans and other reports related to management of PFAS from legacy manufacturing.

Indoor plants are not just known for their benefits of improving the quality of air and making your home’s ambience a more welcoming one, they also create a sense of positivity. However, while some of the best indoor plants are believed to bring prosperity into our lives, others are avoided for being unlucky and attracting negative energies. But how can one decide which plant is good and which isn’t? Well, here comes the concept of Vastu Shastra.
What is Vastu Shastra?
Similar to the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, Vastu Shastra is the science of creating structures to promote harmony within that enclosed space. This includes homes, schools, commercial buildings and shops. It is also an art of placing objects in the house to balance negative and positive energies.
Ancient India was blessed with the knowledge of science and architecture. From the ancient rock-cut architecture of Gavaksha or ‘Chaitya arches’ to the grandeur of the Vijayanagara Empire in Hampi, Indian architecture was based on Vastu Shastra that hails from a prosperous Harappan civilisation. Encompassing several years of knowledge, the principles of science are documented in the Vedas and many manuscripts of Indian literature, dating back to 5,000 years. Today, it continues to be a core of modern architecture.
The Sanskrit term Vastu Shastra translates into the ‘science of architecture.’ Catering to functional architectural designs, it uses the concepts of fire, water, air, earth and space and spiritual beliefs to create a friendly setting or a peaceful place to live. This structuring of these places also includes the placement of windows, doors, stairs and kitchen.
Vastu Shastra is also consulted while decorating a house. This includes the positioning of objects, where plants play a crucial role. Though there are many plant types to choose from, some of which are simply gorgeous, not every plant you may like is suitable for your home as per the principles of Vastu Shastra.
How do indoor plants affect the Vastu of a home?
Vastu Shastra’s science applies to how and where you place plants in your home, as their positioning affects the health, fortune and wealth of its residents. While plants like bamboo, tulsi, jasmine, aloe vera and money plants are suitable for indoor gardening, thorny plants like cactus and creepers should be avoided, as they are believed to attract negative energies. However, you may include roses in your balcony garden.
Additionally, the positioning of plants can be related to the theme of a room and the structure of a house. For instance, placing indoor plants, except snake plants, in the bedroom should be avoided. Vastu Shastra also mentions the direction of the indoor garden to boost the flow of positive energies, as well as eliminate negativity.
Vastu experts also advise placing large and bushy plants in the southwest area of your home. Growing plants in your backyard or indoor garden promote stability and success.

According to Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra, lucky bamboo is considered auspicious, and they need plenty of bright indirect light to survive. With the process of evolution, lucky bamboo has been altered for indoor cultivation as a houseplant.
It is believed that the plant brings luck and wealth to the location where it is planted, and when posited in the southeast, it also improves the flow of positive energy in the home and workplace.
Interestingly, the number of stalks tied with a red ribbon signifies wood and fire, respectively. A cluster of 10 bamboo stalks is believed to bring good health and prosperity to the plant parent’s home.

Money plant is known for bringing luck, positivity and success to those who have them in their homes and offices. It is believed that money plants have a significant impact on the financial well-being of people as well.
According to Vastu, the leaves with a round, flat area represent coins. People believe that the money plant is the embodiment of good fortune, and one would never run out of money if they place it in the southeast direction of their establishment.
These plants are low-maintenance and require indirect sunlight to thrive.

Jasmine is a gorgeous plant that instantly upgrades the area where it is planted. However, it needs extra care because it only blooms in well-draining soils with plenty of direct sunlight and water. Apart from its pleasing appearance, the plant also leaves a tinted rich, sweet, fruity and sensual scent.

A rose is known for absorbing harmful energies and is considered lucky. This plant Some properties of roses also help in soothing skin irritation and reducing anxiety while promoting relaxation.
According to Vastu experts, a rose plant should be planted in the southwest corner of the house, as it fosters love and passion.
This plant comes in various colours, each of which signifies different elements of human emotions. For instance, yellow roses bring happiness, white brings joy and red roses symbolise love.

Bonsai has a long history that brings two cultures together — Japanese and Chinese. The word ‘Bon-Sai’ is Japanese, and the plant signifies the Chinese art form of creating miniature scale landscapes known as Penjing.
While a bonsai represents luck, harmony and balance in some parts of the world and is even considered an object for mediation, it has a sluggish and stunted growth.
Thus, it is believed to obstruct the home’s inhabitants’ natural life cycles. If one needs to grow Bonsai, it should be placed outdoors, where they are exposed to the four natural seasons just like typical trees.

Lawsonia inermis, commonly known as henna or Mehandi, is a common plant used in Indian households. It is best known for making henna (Mehandi powder) which has been used to draw elaborate designs on the body in India, the Middle East and Africa for aeons.
They are also used for health benefits, including relieving headaches, detoxifying the body, improving nails, protecting the skin and boosting hair health. Though it has many health benefits, Vastu experts explain that it should not be planted inside the house because it draws evil spirits, disturbs the calm and creates confusion among family members.

Contrary to modern belief, cotton is not exactly a plant but a fibre that grows on it. It provides food and fibre crops and belongs to the hibiscus species of plants.
It has been used as a fabric for clothes since 3000 B.C, and it continues to a core of making clothes, bedsheets, curtains, and even oil, rubber, and plastics made using its seed.
Although it looks beautiful, Vastu says it brings inauspicious energy inside the house and attracts bad omens.

A date palm instantly elevates the area when grown at full size, and there is an indoor version of the tree, which can be planted in small spaces. Still, some people use it inside their houses in areas with bright light and sufficient soil.
However, according to Vastu, planting date palm trees inside the house leads to poverty and loss of financial well-being. Thus, one should avoid using a date palm as an indoor plant.

Used as a traditional medicine in India since ancient times, the plant also helps in treating diarrhoea, constipation, fever and malaria. Tamarind is also used as a healing element for treating wounds. However, it should not be placed inside homes, despite its uses and health benefits.
As per Vastu Shastra, tamarind trees attract negative energy inside homes and often draw evil spirits. Scientists also suggest that the plant should not be placed indoors because of the high levels of carbon dioxide and nitrogen it releases at night.

Acacia arabica, commonly known as Babul, is an ancient plant native to Africa and Asia. Famous for being used in India for multiple things like applications in oral and dental hygiene, ointment for skin diseases, and others, it also has some adverse effects when placed inside homes.
According to Vastu, Babul should always be planted outside. The thorn family native and its kind can become a hindrance in your progress and affect relationships.

Dead plants should not be kept in or around the house. While green and fresh plants attract positive energies, dead leaves or stems bring bad omen inside homes.
Vastu rules explain that you should avoid keeping dry, dehydrated or dead flowers and plants in your home, as they are unlucky and draw negative energy.
People keep flowers and plants to improve positive energy inside their homes. When a plant dies, it loses its significance and attracts negative energy.

Led by fashion designer Maria Intscher-Owrang, company will leverage its additive manufacturing technology to bring economically competitive biodegradable garments to market
NEW YORK, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Simplifyber, Inc., creator of the world's first fully-molded garment and shoe uppers made directly from a cellulose-based liquid, announced today the closing of a $3.5M round of seed funding, led by At One Ventures, with participation from Techstars, Heritage Group Ventures, The Helm, W Fund, Jetstream Ventures, Plug & Play Ventures, REFASHIOND Ventures, CapitalX Ventures, Keeler Investments Group and others.
The company has developed a novel approach to clothing and accessory manufacturing that removes traditional spinning, weaving, cutting, and sewing and replaces it with a sustainable, less resource-intensive process, and fully biodegradable solution – cutting out 60% of the steps and reducing the 35% of materials in the fashion supply chain that ends up as waste.
"I saw how additive manufacturing (e.g., 3D printing) was disrupting nearly every other industry, but not in fashion. I set out to find the people that could make this a reality," remarked Simplifyber co-founder and CEO Maria Intscher-Owrang, who led a 20+ year career as a fashion designer and director at leading fashion houses, including Vera Wang, Calvin Klein, Alexander McQueen, Dirk Bikkembergs, and Edun.
"We discovered a way to create clothing using soft plant fibers," she explained. "We start with a liquid cellulose – made in a lab, not in a mill – which is then poured on specially-designed molds and dried, eliminating fabric waste altogether and allowing on-demand, stock-free service."
Simplifyber's cellulose formula is 100% natural, derived from a combination of wood pulp and other plant-based material and non-toxic additives, so the result is a fully biodegradable product that can be easily returned to nature, recyclable as paper and as clothing.
"With its single-step process for clothing making, Simplifyber has the potential to beat the unit economics of polyester, becoming an economically and environmentally viable solution against plastic waste," said Laurie Menoud, Partner, At One Ventures. "We're looking forward to partnering with the team to bring this solution to scale. We believe Simplifyber could be the apparel of the future: They are not only beautifully designed but have a low carbon footprint and are price-accessible, which is a significant differentiation from other sustainable clothing brands."
With its manufacturing of daily wear items such as T-shirts, Simplifyber aims to replace wovens and knits, which together represent a $25B market globally. Additionally, the company has collaborated on a pilot with HP to create molded shoe uppers, also from a custom formula derived from natural fibers.
Simplifyber creates the "Apparel of the Future" through its soft, cotton-like biodegradable clothing and footwear that are made by injecting liquid into molds, without the need for cutting, sewing, or weaving; transforming the world's Apparel and Footwear Industries through its proprietary fully-biodegradable material formula and sustainable additive manufacturing system.

Boris Johnson: Embattled PM vows to keep going amid Tory revolt
- Published
Boris Johnson has insisted he will stay in office, despite a growing Tory revolt against his leadership.
At Prime Minister's Questions, he said he had a "colossal mandate" from the 2019 election and would "keep going".
It comes as 18 Tories have quit government or party positions, with other backbenchers withdrawing their support.
Labour's Sir Keir Starmer said the Conservatives had become a "corrupted party defending the indefensible".
Mr Johnson's premiership has been plunged into crisis following the dramatic resignations of Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid.
They quit within minutes of each other on Tuesday, following a row over Mr Johnson's decision to appoint Chris Pincher deputy chief whip earlier this year.
Their departures have triggered a wave of further departures, with Justice Minister Victoria Atkins among the ministers quitting on Wednesday.
At PMQs, Sir Keir took aim at ministers who have resigned in recent days, saying their decision not to quit before now showed they lacked a "shred of integrity".
And the Labour leader rounded on those who have stayed in post, mocking them as a "Z list cast of nodding dogs", keeping the PM in power.
He added they were "only in office because no-one else is prepared to debase themselves any longer," calling them the "charge of the lightweight brigade".
Tory backbencher Gary Sambrook accused the PM of blaming other people for his mistakes and was applauded after calling on him to resign.
But Mr Johnson defied calls to quit, adding he would "continue to deliver on the mandate I was given".
"The job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances, when he's been handed a colossal mandate, is to keep going - and that's what I'm going to do."
In a resignation statement after PMQs, Mr Javid said "treading the tightrope between loyalty and integrity" had become "impossible in recent months".
He added: "At some point we have to conclude that enough is enough. I believe that point is now."
Sometimes politics is subtle.And then there are days like today.Sitting in the Press Gallery, watching Prime Minister's Questions this lunchtime, you could feel, hear and smell Boris Johnson's authority draining away.The faces and demeanour of Conservative MPs. His backbenchers sat there in near silence.All the noise came from the opposition benches. It was Mr Johnson's toughest PMQs he's faced since the general election.And it's only lunchtime.

Taliban leader: Afghan soil won’t be used to launch attacks
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Taliban supreme leader Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada said Wednesday that Afghan soil will not be used to launch attacks against other countries, and he asked the international community to not interfere in Afghanistan’s internal affairs.
The Taliban say they are adhering to an agreement they signed with the United States in 2020 — before retaking power — in which they promised to fight terrorists. Since their takeover last year, they have repeatedly said Afghanistan would not be used as a launching pad for attacks against other countries.
“We assure our neighbors, the region and the world that we will not allow anyone to use our territory to threaten the security of other countries. We also want other countries not to interfere in our internal affairs,” Akhundzada said in an address ahead of the Eid al-Adha holiday.
The Taliban were ousted by a U.S.-led coalition in 2001 for harboring Osama bin Laden, mastermind of the 9/11 attacks in the United States. The religious group captured power again in mid-August, during the chaotic last weeks of the U.S. and NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The international community has been wary of any recognition or cooperation with the Taliban, especially after they restricted the rights of women and minorities — measures that harken back to their harsh rule when they were last in power in the late 1990s.
Akhundzada, the spiritual chief of the Taliban, has remained a reclusive figure. He rose to leader of the Islamist movement in a swift transition of power after a 2016 U.S. drone strike killed his predecessor, Mullah Akhtar Mansour.
After taking over, Akhundzada secured the backing of al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, who showered the cleric with praise, calling him “the emir of the faithful.” The endorsement by bin Laden’s heir helped seal his jihadist credentials with the Taliban’s longtime allies.
However, in his Eid message Akhundzada said: “Within the framework of mutual interaction and commitment, we want good, diplomatic, economic and political relations with the world, including the United States, and we consider this in the interest of all sides.”
A three-day assembly of Islamic clerics and tribal elders in the Afghan capital that concluded Saturday included pledges of support for the Taliban and calls on the international community to recognize the country’s Taliban-led government.
In a surprise development, the reclusive Akhundzada came to Kabul from his base in southern Kandahar province and addressed the gathering Friday. It was believed to be his first visit to the Afghan capital since the Taliban seized power.
In an hour-long speech at the assembly carried by state radio, Akhundzada called the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan a “victory for the Muslim world.”
A powerful earthquake in June killed more than 1,000 people in eastern Afghanistan, igniting yet another crisis for the economically struggling country. Overstretched aid groups already keeping millions of Afghans alive rushed supplies to the quake victims, but most countries responded tepidly to Taliban calls for international help.
The international cut-off of Afghanistan’s financing has deepened the country’s economic collapse and fueled its humanitarian crises.

Groceries, gasoline, rent and outstanding debts, inflation and painful price hikes have many Americans concerned about their financial present and future. And with fears that a recession could be lurking in the not-too-distant future, it's important that people get their affairs in order.
NPR reached out to financial experts on how to better navigate these turbulent times. Here's the advice they gave from their respective fields.
Income and personal finance do's and don'ts
On top of her role as an assistant marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School — one of the world's leading business programs – Wendy De La Rosa works to to improve the financial lives of those with low-to-moderate incomes. She co-founded the Common Cents Lab, which combines behavioral science and economics to improve people's financial well-being.
According to De La Rosa, people cannot budget or save if they aren't making enough, and that gets harder with everyday items going up in price. To get ahead, she recommends individuals take steps to bring in more money, starting with asking for a raise.
"With costs of living rising, I think it's an appropriate conversation to have," De La Rosa said.
At the same time, the best way to achieve a meaningful boost in income is to land a position with the competition, De La Rosa said.
"In this tight labor market, where employers are essentially falling over themselves to try to find talent, if you feel like you're being undervalued at your workplace, now is probably the time to start searching for another role," she said. "Now is the time to polish off your resume, to get out there, see what you can get. And at the very least, ask for a raise at your company."
The next problem to tackle is credit card debt.
As federal rates rise, so does the interest on your credit cards, which has hovered around 15% in recent years, according to Nerd Wallet. But rates can be as high as 25% to 30%.
An individual's rate is more often than not established when they're younger, when they have little to no credit, resulting in a higher rate, De La Rosa said. And though an individual's credit score improves over time with punctual payments, most credit card companies don't change their interest rate — unless you ask.
De La Rosa said tip No. 1 is, "Go ahead, pick up the phone, call your credit card company and ask them to lower your interest rate. ... Many, many years ago, I did a small pilot where I brought people into the lab and had them sort of call your credit card company. And about 40% of them had success either getting a promotional 0% [annual percentage rate] or just getting a credit card interest rate decrease."
An important detail worth noting, which many people may be unaware of, De La Rosa said, is that most credit card companies collect interest on overdue payments daily, not monthly. This is why it is imperative to get that balance back to zero as quickly as possible.
If you've got a mountain of credit card debt, don't wait until the end of the month to make one large payment. Instead, try to make payments weekly, or as frequently as possible, to avoid paying any more than absolutely necessary.
Having said that, De La Rosa isn't advising individuals throw every dollar they have at their debts. People should have some sort of cash savings available for emergencies.
"If you're near the middle-income threshold, where the average family earns about $60,000 a year, you might want to think about two to three months of emergency savings," she said. "But all of that is dependent on where you are on the income spectrum and how much room you have."
Advice for renters and prospective homebuyers
Jessica Lautz is the vice president of demographics and behavioral insights at the National Association of Realtors, America's largest trade association made up of experts in residential and commercial real estate markets. Lautz said that after approximately two years of real estate market mayhem, things are finally cooling down to a pre-pandemic pace.
At the same time, the median sales price in the nation is at an all-time high, at more than $400,000, a 14.8% increase from last year, according to NAR. Those prices can be attributed to the simple law of supply and demand: There have been far more prospective home buyers than homes for sale.
With the Federal Reserve recently hiking interest to a 40-year high, mortgage rates are also on the rise, with a 30-year mortgage averaging 5.89% as of last Thursday, according to Bankrate.com. Lautz said this could be an opportunity for homebuyers who missed out on home after home, as rising prices narrow the pool of potential buyers.
"They're facing slightly less competition that they had in the last year. ... We were seeing a median of five offers for every home. That has gone down slightly, but that doesn't mean that there's not competition today," Lautz said. "We know that for buyers who are actively in the market today, they have to have a higher household income then other buyers in the past because interest rates have gone up, but home prices are still increasing at the same time."
Getting into your first home is more difficult than upgrading later in life because of the down payment requirement, Lautz said — which is why it's important to start by finding a mortgage broker and real estate agent who know your area. These professionals can help establish a budget as well as clear up common misconceptions about the homebuying process.
"Some of the old-fashioned rules, like you need 20% down to enter homeownership, just may not be true depending on the loan product that you choose," Lautz said. "The typical first-time homebuyer just put 6 to 7% down, for the last several years."
That's still a lot of money. For most people, a home is going to be the single-largest purchase of their life. And first-time buyers often struggle to come up with the tens of thousands of dollars to cover the down payment and closing costs. However, today's rental market is expensive as well.
"We have seen many rental units are going for 30% more than they had just last year in some areas of the country," Lautz said. "So, if you're in that situation and you have the ability to pull together a down payment and closing costs, it might make much more financial sense to actually purchase a home, especially if you plan to stay put."
Many young buyers today are getting into homes by thinking unconventionally, Lautz said, like living with family for a period of time to save up for a down payment or renting a room out in their new home to subsidize costs. Some buyers are even going in on properties with friends and splitting the mortgage and bills.
For those who have been looking high and low for a home to no avail, or were outbid time and again, perhaps it's time to make some compromises. Consider looking in a different part of town that may be up and coming or sacrificing some of your wants and needs so you can secure a purchase, Lautz said.
In a few years' time, after the market returns to a sense of normalcy and buyers have equity built up from mortgage payments, they can return to the hunt for their dream home, moving up the property owner ladder.
"When you do purchase a home, you're paying towards your mortgage, but at the exact same time, [your] home should be appreciating ... So, you know that when you do go to place your home on the market it likely will be for a higher price than what you did pay for it," Lautz said. "So, you'll be able to pay off what's left of your mortgage and then actually get money back for your next down payment as a move-up buyer into your second property or third property and so on."
Things to consider about student loans
According to the Education Data Initiative, more than 43 million borrowers have had the luxury of having their federal student loan payments on pause since the COVID-19 pandemic began over two years ago. That pause is set to expire on Aug. 31, though it could theoretically be extended again.
President Biden is reportedly considering forgiving up to $10,000 of student debt per borrower. But with so much up in the air, Barry Coleman, vice president of counseling and education at the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, said people should "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst."
"We won't know until it's announced whether or not that actually happens. ... It would amount to roughly $321 billion in federal student loan forgiveness, which is significant. And in that case, it would also completely eliminate federal student loan balances for approximately 11 to 12 million borrowers," Coleman said. "That would be life changing for many consumers, if they didn't have to worry about that much debt."
Instead of keeping their fingers crossed, Coleman recommends borrowers take advantage of the last few months of the pause to make payments on their principal, if they can afford it.
For those who don't have the means to make payments on the principal of their loan during the current interest-free grace period, he advises at least making with a plan. Since March 13, borrowers haven't had to account for their student loans in their budget. But with inflation driving up the price of everyday goods — on top of rent, credit card payments and more -- running the numbers and coming up with a budget should be a priority.
"If and when these payments resume, understand where you are, where you will be after August 31, and just plan accordingly," Coleman said.
People can plan using the Department of Education's loan simulator. If they find that their loans may be too much of a financial burden, they can apply for an income-driven repayment plan to design a more manageable payment plan.
Additionally, it's important that borrowers double check that their contact information is up to date in case some form of forgiveness be issued. The Department of Education has to be able to reach you to discuss any updates about your debts.
He also noted that there are other paths to debt forgiveness. According to the Department of Education, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program may forgive the remaining balance for qualifying applicants after they make approximately 10 years of payments. This includes government employees at the federal, state, local and tribal level, service in the U.S. military as well as non-profit work.
Full-time teachers who complete five academic years at a low-income school are also eligible for up to $17,500 in federal student loan forgiveness. And any U.S. servicemember who is receives a 100% disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs and is deemed totally and permanently disabled could have their federal loans discharged.
Individuals struggling to get financial affairs in order should reach out to the NFCC, Coleman said. As a non-profit organization, most of the NFCC's services are offered free of charge. They work with individuals to develop a plan to help them achieve their financial goals.
"I think it would be time well spent if a borrower participated in a counseling session just to sort of see where they are at and get some expert advice," Coleman said. "We will provide that service regardless of whether someone can afford to pay or not."
Honesty and the importance of putting yourself first
For many, addressing financial issues can be uncomfortable; it's not a happy endeavor, De La Rosa said. Which is why people put budgeting and other money talk near the bottom of their to-do list, all the while drowning in debt or struggling with spending control.
Calling credit card companies, going through subscriptions, creating a budget or evaluating spending habits are all relatively minor tasks, but nonetheless require time.
This is why De La Rosa suggests individuals take a "financial health day." Either a day or a block of time dedicated to siting down and addressing finances.
"We all have subscriptions that we know we should cancel. We all know that we should probably finally enroll in our company's 401(k) . ... But we are just lacking the time, Right? We don't prioritize ourselves because we're busy prioritizing everybody else around us, and we are just too tired at the end of the day," De La Rosa said. "Love yourself enough to prioritize yourself right now. And whether that means asking for a raise, searching for another job, putting time in your calendar to do all the financial things that we've talked about, these are things that you've been putting off."
For couples and families, it's important to be an open book. Pretending money monsters don't exist won't make them go away. Financial issues are one of the leading causes of divorce, De La Rosa said, which is why it's important that partners and family are on the same page when it comes to money ups and downs.
When people feel financially insecure, De La Rosa said, "Basically half of your brain is thinking about your financial constraints and is unable to really focus on other kinds of problems."
It is mentally exhausting. Which is why it's important to achieve a sense of balance.
Money does — to some extent — buy happiness, De La Rosa explained. So, if you find yourself grinding day in and day out, it is OK to spend a little to help pick yourself after a long week.
"One of the things that we know is that people get more pleasure and happiness out of buying experiences than material goods. So, if you have to choose ... choose to have the experience," De La Rosa said.
It can be as simple as going to the movies with friends or loved ones, for example. And if that's a little outside the budget, get creative. Some places offer free movie screenings in parks, and you can treat yourself to snacks. What you can or cannot do when money is tight is only limited by your imagination.
"You can turn almost anything into meaningful experience. And that's what I would just hope that people can do during this time, right? It is so taxing to have to think about your financial situation all of the time."

A woman has been slapped with a £25,000 fine, for more than 30 speeding offences, committed over a period of just three months, in a court hearing.
Ann Marie Cash was given 18 points, fines totalling £25,646 and disqualified from driving for 18 months, after she was found guilty of 33 separate speeding offences across south Wales, at Cardiff Magistrates Court, reports WalesOnline.

Between August and October 2021 a Nissan X Trail owned by Cash bearing Irish plates committed 33 speeding offences in the South Wales Police area including 30 on Newport Road, Rumney Hill and one each on Greenway Road, North Road and Newport Road junction with Rover Way, all in Cardiff.
An investigation was started by GoSafe and field enquiry officers were alerted to the car being stopped for displaying false plates. It had then been seized as it had no insurance and the driver had no license.
All 33 notices of intended prosecution letters were sent to Cash after GoSafe established the correct registration and address for the car. After receiving no response to the letters, all offences were referred to Cardiff Magistrates Court. Cash, of Lynmouth Crescent, Llanrumney, later contacted the court and pleaded guilty to the offences.

Despite being invited to attend due to the possibility of disqualification, Cash did not attend and the case was heard in her absence at Cardiff Magistrates Court on Monday, May 23 this year. All 33 offences were proven with each one carrying a fine of £660 with court costs and victim surcharges.
The offences were not consolidated and the court ordered each offence to be paid, meaning the total costs were a £21,780 fine, £3,610 costs and a £256 victim surcharge. Cash also received 18 points and an 18-month disqualification from driving.

A MOTHER of three jailed for two years after she waged a terrifying campaign of harassment against a former Sinn Fein TD and a Cork community activist is now challenging her sentence.
Sonya Egan (42) falsely claimed to be the daughter of former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and her relentless campaign of harassment was such that a judge noted it had caused "torment" for her two victims.
She told former Cork TD Jonathan O'Brien she loved him - and, having later made serious bullying accusations against the Cork politician, then promised him she would drop all the claims "if he gave in to her feelings for him."
Egan then waged an alarming campaign of harassment against Mr O'Brien (50) and Cork community activist Laura O'Connell for over a year, levelling false and hurtful allegations against them.
Judge Helen Boyle noted at Cork Circuit Criminal Court last month the campaign of harassment went on for over a year, it was sustained, targeted not just the two victims but their families including parents and children, involved multiple routes of harassment including online platforms and had serious financial consequences for the victims.
Judge Boyle noted that Ms O'Connell said Egan's relentless campaign of harassment had effectively ruined her life.
"It is so serious it merits a prison sentence," she said.
Judge Boyle imposed a three year prison sentence but agreed to suspend the final 12 months in light of her plea and public apology.
However, the Irish Independent has learned that Egan is now appealing the severity of the sentence imposed.
Papers in respect of her appeal were lodged within 24 hours of her receiving a prison sentence.
The appeal is not expected to be heard before 2023.
Ms O'Connell said she was aware of the appeal.
"It is disappointing but I am not surprised. It is disappointing because the victims in this case are still not being allowed to get on with their lives."
Judge Boyle said a psychological report outlined that Egan had been raised in State care and had suffered multiple forms of abuse over her childhood.
It assessed her as being at a low risk of reoffending.
She had also submitted a letter of apology to the court for her actions.
Judge Boyle said that Egan "noted the upset, anguish and torment she inflicted on the victims."
"She said she genuinely did not realise the extent of her behaviour. She said she is truly sorry."
The judge said that Egan had a traumatic childhood but said it was "perplexing" that there was no precise conclusion in the psychological report.
Ms O'Connell, who had fought back tears in delivering an emotional victim impact statement at a previous court hearing, said Sonya Egan had ruined her life, left her living in fear and had rendered her financially crippled.
The victim said she was so "torn apart" by Egan's actions she was now considering leaving Ireland.
The impact of the false claims were aggravated by various conspiracy groups taking Egan's side.
When Gardai seized Egan's phone, she was found to have made 5,500 calls, texts and social media messages to the Sinn Fein TD over a six month period.
Egan also had 16 active Facebook accounts on her phone - including accounts in which she was falsely linked to Jeremy Corbyn and a relative of one of the Birmingham Six.
The woman at various times claimed to be a barrister and an investigative reporter.
She pleaded guilty to two charges of harassment against Mr O'Brien and Ms O'Connell.
Egan of The Lawn, Lios Cara, Killeens, Co Cork pleaded guilty to two charges which were brought contrary to Sections 10 (1) and (6) of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, 1997.
She admitted harassment of Mr O'Brien on a variety of dates between January 17 2018 and January 9 2019.
Egan also admitted harassment of Laura O'Connell on various dates between April 8 2018 and June 26 2019.
However, Sergeant John Sheehy told the court that Egan had alleged to people she had only pleaded to protect someone else - and had contacted several journalists asking if they would tell her story.
Sgt Sheehy said Mr O'Brien became aware of the defendant in April/May 2017 when she made a protected disclosure claiming "a conspiracy to cover up her abuse by members of an Gardai."
Mr O'Brien - in his role as a TD - offered her advice and moral support.
However, he later became "uneasy" when Egan began to make suggestive remarks to him.
She had also joined Sinn Fein in Cork.
Egan told him her real father was former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and, later, that she had feelings for the Sinn Fein TD.
Mr O'Brien immediately distanced himself from Egan at which point she began to make bullying allegations against him and Ms O'Connell.
She accused him of having betrayed her trust and falsely said she had lost a baby because of the bullying.
"On a number of occasions she claimed that he had driven her to suicide and that she was going to carry it out."
"While all this was going on, she would email him to tell him that she loves him and that she would drop all the claims against him if he gave into his feelings for her."
Later, Egan would send the politician messages accusing him of being with "a tart" because an unknown vehicle was outside his home.
The Sinn Fein TD was appalled when, in a message, Egan referred to his terminally ill mother.
"Sonya became aware that his terminally ill mother had fallen out of the bed in the hospital and claims that a friend in the hospital had told her.
"The hospital staff confirmed that his mother had fallen out of bed but it has not been established how she got this information."
Mr O'Brien eventually notified the Gardai - and revealed there were occasions when he would receive 100 text messages daily from Egan or from social media accounts believed to be operated by her.
On one occasion, Egan turned up at Leinster House while the Dail was sitting and demanded to speak to the Sinn Fein TD.
On another occasion, she falsely posted on social media that she waspregnant and lost her baby due to the bullying of Mr O'Brien and Sinn Fein.
Egan also approached Mr O'Brien's daughter at her place of work asking questions about him.
After Mr O'Brien referred the matter to the Gardai, she called him "a rat."
"She sent him pictures of a rat and publicly posted (on social media) that: 'You don't rat on a Republican'."
A written victim impact statement by Mr O'Brien was submitted to Judge Boyle but was not read out in open court.
Ms O'Connell, who read out her own victim impact statement to the court, said her life was in ruins because of the actions of Egan.
"She is a menace to society and one that I was and am not being protected from," Ms O'Connell said.
"Since that day (she met Egan) my life has never been the same. She has mentally broken me, set me back in my health and impoverished me to the point where I now have to engage with the insolvency services."
Ms O'Connell said she was left facing a €26,000 legal bill because of injunctions she had to secure just to protect herself from Egan.
"Sonya Egan has made every attempt to destroy my good reputation, my hard work efforts, my health including my mental health."
She said it was very hurtful to realise her son was having to watch "his mother being torn apart."
"I live in fear. I am stressed. I am overwhelmed. Sonya Egan has ruined my life. Sonya has targeted and victimised several others, broken several others and will not stop."
"I flinch with every outside noise, panic at the sound of a doorbell in fear (that) it is her or those who follow her. I cannot go anywhere without having to assess who is following me or watching me."
In one horrifying incident, a person known to Sonya Egan posed as a
social worker and gained access to Ms O'Connell's home.
Ms O'Connell begged the courts to protect her and end Sonya Egan's
campaign against her and other innocent people. | https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/woman-who-waged-campaign-of-harassment-against-former-sinn-fein-td-and-a-businesswoman-now-challenges-jail-sentence-41818154.html | 2022-07-06T12:34:33Z | https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/woman-who-waged-campaign-of-harassment-against-former-sinn-fein-td-and-a-businesswoman-now-challenges-jail-sentence-41818154.html | false | 1 |

MENLO PARK, Calif., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to productivity, workers share more similarities than differences, new research from talent solutions and business consulting firm Robert Half shows. A survey of more than 2,400 professionals in the U.S. reveals five productivity trends that have taken shape since the shift to remote work.
- Productivity peaks early in the week. Employees get the most done on Monday and Tuesday, whether at home or in the office. Results are consistent with a similar survey conducted in 2019, before the rise of remote and hybrid work.
- Professionals have defined power hours. Most workers hit their stride in the late morning (9 a.m. to 12 p.m.) and early afternoon (1 to 4 p.m.), regardless of where they sit. Very few tackle their to-dos during lunch or evening hours.
- Meetings are getting in the way. When asked to share what most impedes their productivity, the top response was unnecessary calls and meetings (35%), followed by conversations with colleagues (25%).
- Home is where it happens. While 1 in 5 professionals (21%) said they're equally productive wherever they work, 35% reported accomplishing more at home. Those commuting to the office perform best in a private space (43%) versus a collaborative one (16%).
- Concerns about flexible work are waning. Two-thirds of employees (66%) feel their boss cares more about their contributions to the company than when and where they work. Separate research from Robert Half shows 27% of managers don't mind if their direct reports put in fewer than 40 hours a week, as long as the job gets done.
"Trust and open communication are essential when it comes to flexible work," said Paul McDonald, senior executive director of Robert Half. "Employees need to show they can manage their time by meeting deadlines and being available to collaborate. And in turn, managers need to lead by example and evaluate performance based on achieving business and individual goals."
McDonald added, "Understanding work habits and preferences — and focusing on results — is key to maximizing productivity. When team members communicate their schedules and are aligned on goals, they're more effective."
View a video of the research highlights and visit the Robert Half blog for additional tips on maximizing productivity, whether working from home or the office.
The online survey was developed by Robert Half and conducted by an independent research firm. It includes responses from more than 2,400 workers 18 years of age or older in finance, technology, marketing and creative, legal, administrative and customer support, human resources, and other areas at companies with 20 or more employees in the U.S. (conducted May 17-30, 2022).

UAE - The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH), the regulator of the healthcare sector in the emirate, highlighted three cases where sponsors do not incur violations or financial fines for not subscribing or renewing the mandated health insurance coverage. These cases include absconding workers, illegal residents or death of the sponsor.
In case of abscondment, DoH stated that no fine or violation will be imposed against the sponsor as from the date of the absconding report until the date of the situation rectification. Sponsors need to provide official documents that verify the notification of the relevant government entity of the worker’s abscondment.
Additionally, no fine or violation will be incurred in the event of the sponsor’s death, provided that an official death certificate is issued and shared with the relevant governmental authorities. Similarly, no violation or fine shall be issued where individuals are found residing illegally in Abu Dhabi without a valid residency visa.
In line with DoH’s commitment in safeguarding the health and wellbeing of the community in Abu Dhabi, the Department encourages all members to subscribe to and renew their health insurance subscription in due time. Members can follow up with their health insurers to ensure the continuity of their health insurance and access to integrated healthcare services whenever needed while making sure they avoid penalties resulting from a lack of subscription to a health insurance coverage.
DoH highlighted that individually-sponsored people whose incurred fines were paid between October 24, 2021 and the announced deadline extension on November 11, 2021 are eligible to apply for a refund of fines paid with the relevant health insurance company, noting that a grievance fee of Dh100 will be deducted from the fines paid.
Last year, DoH announced that the exemption from fines for individually-sponsored individuals who have not subscribed or renewed their health insurance scheme is valid until the end of 2021. Additionally, the Department confirmed that individuals who do not subscribe to a health insurance scheme will be subjected to a fine of Dh300 per month for every uninsured month. This is in accordance with the provisions of the Health Insurance Law No. 23/2005, its amendments and executive regulations.
Dr Mariam Al Mazrouei, the Executive Director of Healthcare Payers Sector at DoH, said: “The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) is continuously working towards ensuring quality healthcare services are provided to all community members in accordance with the best international practices. It is crucial that all members of our community regularly check the latest updates on health insurance and renew their subscriptions in due time – to ensure they have access to the relevant healthcare facilities when and if needed.”
Individuals who wish to enquire about the health insurance subscription process and procedure can contact any health insurance company in the Emirate or the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) on Tel: 024193486 or via email: healthsystemfinancing@doh.gov.ae.

Rivals Top-25 prospect KJ Bolden details being back in Knoxville
Tennessee’s final prospect camp for the month of June two weekends ago featured some of the best underclassmen in the country. Another highly-touted prospect who was on campus that day was athlete KJ Bolden of Buford, Ga.
The 2024 prospect stands in at 6-foot-2, weighing 180 pounds. He’s the No. 20-ranked player in the class and already boasts over 40 offers early in his recruitment.
“It was great being here. The coaches were showing me mad-love today,” the four-star said following the visit. “They were very chill and laid back. They were playing video games and stuff like that with me. I had meetings with coach [Kelsey] Pope as well. It was a great experience.”
Bolden didn’t participate in camp but on the day, but did come to campus to spend time with coaches and see the facilities another time. Last summer, the borderline five-star camped in Knoxville and that’s when he picked up his initial offer to Tennessee.
Spending time with both Kelsey Pope and Josh Heupel was high on the priority list.
“That’s my guy – he’s cool. He’s real with you and is always himself,” the prospect said of Pope. “I really like that about him. He said he likes my speed and the way I go and get it. He likes my ball skills as well.
“I was talking to coach Heupel some as well and he was asking me about my season coming up. He was telling me that I need to get back up here, and I may come back on July 30 for the cookout.”
One of the biggest – and only – question marks surrounding Bolden right now is what position he’ll play at the next level. He’s a dynamic athlete in Georgia high school football, starring on both sides of the football at wide reliever and safety.
“Right now, I don’t know. But after this upcoming season, I plan on figuring it out and determining what position I’ll play,” Bolden said. “Tennessee is looking at me as a wide receiver right now. They like me as an outside and slot both, so that’s kind of what they are looking at me for right now.”
Some programs are already giving the athlete the opportunity to choose what he wants to play and some are even pitching him the opportunity to play both. But the Vols like him on the offensive side of the football and that’s where Bolden is really trying to make strides this fall.
“I’m just trying to have a breakout year at receiver this upcoming season,” the recruit said. “I’m trying to get 1,000 yards. I’m also trying to get like six or seven interceptions at defensive back.”
The Peach State native plans on dropping a top-list sometime in July and expect Tennessee to make that cut. Bolden checked in with Georgia, Clemson, NC State, North Carolina and Tennessee in the month of June and already plans to visit Michigan and Michigan State later in July.
“It was great being here,” Bolden concluded. “I’ll definitely be paying attention to Tennessee.” | https://tennessee.rivals.com/news/rivals-top-25-prospect-kj-bolden-details-being-back-in-knoxville | 2022-07-06T12:54:18Z | https://tennessee.rivals.com/news/rivals-top-25-prospect-kj-bolden-details-being-back-in-knoxville | true | 1 |
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. — Colorado is now home to the highest looping roller coaster in the country.
A grand opening celebration for the new Defiance coaster will be held Saturday, July 9 at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Glenwood Springs.
Built into the side of Iron Mountain above Glenwood Springs, Defiance features a 102.3 degree, 110-foot freefall drop, which is the steepest freefall drop in the western United States, according to the park.
> Above video from 2019: New gondola opens at Glenwood Caverns
Defiance sits at 7,132 feet above sea level with views of the Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers, Mount Sopris, South Canyon, Glenwood Canyon and Glenwood Springs during a 75-foot vertical climb.
The park said the new coaster reaches speeds of 56 miles per hour and has a 98-foot twisted top hat and switch, an 111-foot high-speed bank banana roll, and 41-foot zero-g heartline-roll.
The coaster has three cars that each sits eight people.
Defiance
The name Defiance is a nod to the original name of Glenwood Springs. The park said the name is also fitting because the coaster "defies gravity" with its loops, drops and vistas.
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park's grand opening celebration for Defiance on Saturday, July 9 will have giveaways, swag and live music.
Prior to July 16, the roller coaster will open at 12 p.m. on weekdays. After July 16, Defiance will operate Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Gerstlauer Amusement Rides GmbH manufactured the coaster.
“Working with Gerstlauer for over 25 years, I am always astounded by their creativity and ability to innovate no matter what the project is,” said Ed Hiller, CEO of Ride Entertainment. “It is no different with the custom layout and challenging location for this coaster, which is sure to become a showcase attraction known around the world.”

Hip-hop music will get the symphonic treatment when a Pasadena-based composer joins forces with a Grammy-winning rapper this weekend.
Composer, conductor and sax player Geoff Gallegos, along with his 50-piece Stardust Symphony orchestra, will be backing Common when the rapper comes to Burbank’s Starlight Bowl on July 9.
“We’re bringing you something that will feel like hip-hop through these orchestral instruments,” said 52-year-old Gallegos, who’s known as Double G and no stranger to mixing large symphonic ensembles with hip-hop. “I’m a Common fan, too. I love his music. I think he’s a brilliant MC, so working with a musician of that level is an honor,” he said.
Common comes to Burbank to support his recently released album “A Beautiful Revolution Pt. 2,” and when he performs at the 3,800-person capacity venue, his music will be punctuated with a string section and wind instruments conducted by Gallegos.
“It’ll look and feel like something you would see at a Hollywood Bowl classical concert or Walt Disney Concert Hall,” Gallegos said.
The rapper, who released his debut album in 1992, has performed with other symphonies around the country. In recent years, he’s performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony.
Gallegos, who earned a jazz composition degree from Berklee College of Music, became an early proponent of blending the genres in 1999 when he co-founded the daKAH Hip Hop Orchestra to perform orchestral music with MCs.
“My whole jam was trying to do a large funky orchestra,” he said, adding he’s looking forward to the July 9 show. “His flow is so good. He’s one of those MCs who can flow over anything,” Gallegos said.
Opening the night is singer Nikka Costa and funk collective Lettuce.
If You Go:
When: 5 p.m. July 9
Where: Starlight Bowl, 249 Lockheed Drive, Burbank.

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s lead over Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke narrowed to 6 points last month, according to a poll conducted by the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin. That’s a smaller gap than when Republican George W. Bush ousted Democrat Ann Richards in 1994 with a 7.6-point win.
Abbott’s unfavorability ratings are also the highest they’ve ever been at 44%, according to the poll, which was conducted after the deadliest school shooting in state history and almost entirely before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion.
Jim Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project, said the mass shooting in Uvalde and scrutiny over how it was handled could have contributed to Abbott’s increased unfavorability, but it’s hard to say how much exactly.
The political poll did not include specific questions related to the shooting in Uvalde, but it did ask participants to rate Abbott’s performance on handling gun violence. About 36% of participants said they approve of how the governor has handled this issue, while 45% said they disapprove.
The mass shooting in Uvalde and the overturning of Roe v. Wade have laid the groundwork for a contentious final four months in the race to lead the state. While O’Rourke works to harness the anti-incumbent energy spurred by the seismic events of the past few months, Abbott is banking on a general election centered on stronger issues for him: the economy and the border.
Mounting expectations over how the Supreme Court would rule on abortion access could be another factor that contributed to Abbott’s weakened ratings, Henson said. Although the poll ended the same day Roe v. Wade was overturned, it included questions about abortion access that show how voters feel regarding the issue. About 36% of participants said they approve of how Abbott has handled policies related to abortion access, and 46% said they disapprove.
Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned and Texas is poised to completely outlaw abortion access, it will likely be a pivotal topic in the upcoming months, Henson said.
“If we look back at the half dozen times we’ve asked the standard abortion questions since 2014, no more than a quarter of Republicans have ever said that by law abortion should never be permitted,” he said.
Voters will see that reality reflected in how Abbott and O’Rourke discuss abortion access in the upcoming months, he said.
“In terms of that affecting the election, we can expect Democratic candidates to talk about this a lot, and we can expect Republican candidates to not want to talk about it very much,” Henson said.
Despite the ratings, Abbott carries most of the advantages in the race: His campaign is well funded for a midterm election that is expected to favor Republicans across the country. The governor’s allies argue that voters are more worried about skyrocketing inflation and illegal immigration — and that O’Rourke cannot separate himself from President Joe Biden, who is very unpopular in Texas.

The match that guaranteed Corinthians classification for the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores 2022 may have been João Victor’s last for the club. The defender, who managed to hold back the pressure of Boca Juniors away from home, returned to start this Tuesday and had good numbers.
The young defender has his transfer agreed to Benfica, from Portugal, which moved around 10 million euros (approximately BRL 55 million) to hire the athlete for five seasons. The forecast is that the trip to Portugal will take place this week.
So, if this scenario is confirmed, João is sure to be missing from the next match of Timão, against Flamengo, for the Brazilian Championship. Corinthians, it is important to remember, have Bruno Méndez, Gil, Raul Gustavo and Robert Renan available to replace the departure of shirt 33.
Facing Boca, the defender, with ankle pain, had to leave the field in the first stage. During the 45 minutes he was on the field, he was responsible for 19 touches, had 75% of correct passes and performed a cut – the data are from SofaScore.
If he doesn’t return to the field for the club, João Victor ends his time at Parque São Jorge with 79 matches – 71 of them as a starter. There are 37 wins, 22 draws and 20 losses. At the base, between U-20 and U-23, there are 53 games and three goals scored.

The acquisition is on behalf of a Delaware statutory trust investment offering that seeks to raise $68 million in equity from accredited investors
ASHEVILLE, N.C., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital Square, one of the nation's leading sponsors of tax-advantaged real estate investments and an active developer of mixed-use multifamily communities, announced today the acquisition of Retreat at Arden Farms Apartments, a 312-unit apartment community in the Asheville suburb of Arden, North Carolina. The community was acquired on behalf of CS1031 Retreat at Arden Farms Apartments, DST.
"Asheville, North Carolina has been on Capital Square's radar for some time," said Louis Rogers, founder and chief executive officer of Capital Square. "We are thrilled to expand the Capital Square footprint to Ashville in order to deliver exceptional investment programs to a growing number of Section 1031 exchange and cash investors nationwide."
Nestled in the midst of the Blue Ridge mountains at 539 Long Shoals Road, the 28-acre apartment community offers one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 957 square feet with high-end finishes including tile backsplashes, stainless-steel appliances, 9-foot ceilings, walk-in closets and a balcony or patio. The community amenities include a grand clubhouse with a lounge, cyber café with a coffee station, resort-style saltwater pool, 24/7 state-of-the-art fitness center, wellness studio, poolside grilling area, "bark park," electric car charging stations and private garages and storage units.
The highly amenitized property offers sweeping mountain views with convenient access to numerous outdoor activities. The property also benefits from direct access to Interstate 26, providing a 15-minute drive to downtown Asheville. Biltmore Park Town Square, a mixed-use retail center featuring restaurants, shopping and entertainment, is located just 1.5 miles from the property. Whole Foods, Publix and numerous dining options are within a 10-minute drive.
The scenic property is only nine miles from The Biltmore Estate, George Vanderbilt's 250-room castle that is America's largest home and a prominent tourist attraction, according to the City of Asheville. The 8,000-acre grounds, which feature gardens, trails and parklands, are located directly north of the property. For decades, tourists and retirees alike have been drawn to the area's natural beauty, culture, amenities and small-town feel.
"Asheville gained over 9,000 jobs within a twelve-month period ending in February and registered an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, indicative of a strong local economy,"1 said Whitson Huffman, chief strategy and investment officer. "The area continues to incubate regional economic growth, as evidence by the recent announcement by aerospace manufacturer Pratt & Whitney that they are investing $650 million to build a one million-square-foot advanced manufacturing center approximately 3 miles from the property, which will lead to 800 permanent, high-paying local jobs." 2,3
Asheville has averaged over 1,000 new apartment units per year from 2014-2021 while maintaining 96% average occupancy, according to CoStar.4 A limited future supply is anticipated due to affordable housing and other local government requirements. Additionally, a rapidly growing population will drive rent growth, according to the local ABC affiliate and Citizen Times news.5
CS1031 Retreat at Arden Farms Apartments, DST seeks to raise $68 million in equity from accredited investors and has a minimum investment requirement of $50,000.
Since its founding in 2012, Capital Square has acquired 150 real estate assets for over 6,000 investors seeking quality replacement properties that qualify for tax deferral under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and other investors seeking stable cash flow and capital appreciation.
Tynes Development Corporation and Hathaway Construction, sellers of the property, were represented by Michael Saclarides, Devin Bryan, and Jacquelyn Aaron with Cushman & Wakefield.

Lynn Martin has been the 68th president of the New York Stock Exchange for six months, and so far, her tenure has coincided with a period of extreme volatility.
It started out on an auspicious note. On Jan. 3, her first day on the job, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at new highs. But since then, the two indexes have fallen about 20% and 15%, respectively.
With inflation rising at the fastest pace in four decades and the prospect of a recession looming, Wall Street worries are running at a fever pitch.
"You know, I view markets as a mirror to the way people are feeling," Martin says. "A lot of times, there's uncertainty, and that winds up getting expressed in markets."
The anxiety and fear have led to sharp sell-offs in stocks big and small. And it's freezing out IPOs, or initial public offerings, from private companies that are scared of selling their shares to the public at a time when investors are pulling away.
There have been about 80% fewer IPOs, or new stocks listed, on Martin's exchange so far this year, compared to the same period last year.
It was a record year for IPOs in 2021
The comparison might be a little unfair because the markets were running hot in 2021, when the U.S. economy emerged from the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the government pumped stimulus money into the economy and people didn't have too many places to spend, bank balances ballooned last year. Millions opened stock trading accounts with online brokerages.
The stock market responded with a record number of IPOs.
"It was a blockbuster year, by all accounts," says Rachel Gerring, the head of the Americas IPO practice at Ernst & Young, of 2021. "There was a lot of pent-up demand and appetite for high-growth companies, primarily in tech and healthcare."
Today, investors are less confident of the prospect of future growth at many companies.
As the Federal Reserve hikes interest rates to rein in inflation, borrowing costs will continue to rise, and that could force companies to preserve more cash, take fewer risks and invest less in their futures.
The calculus has shifted with an uncertain future for the economy
A huge part of Martin's job is to convince private companies to list on the New York Stock Exchange. Right now, she says, many of them are just waiting for the future of the economy to come into finer focus, and for the sharp sell-offs of the first few months of the year to subside.
"The pipeline is very strong," says Martin. "But it's on pause."
At the Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange's main rival, it's the same story. In 2021, 753 companies went public on the Nasdaq. In the first half of this year, there were only 108 new listings.
Jeff Thomas, Nasdaq's chief commercial officer, says investors' expectations are different, and they have a smaller appetite for risk. It's harder to predict how companies will perform, and also, what they will be worth in the future.
When he talks to the heads of private companies, they often ask him about how investors are likely to value their companies. According to Thomas, that calculus has changed.
"Part of the conversations with executives is getting them to wrap their heads around the fact that they likely aren't going to get the same valuations this year that the bankers promised them last year," he says.
Valuations were incredibly high last year, but since then, share prices have sunk. On average, shares of companies that went public in 2021 are 42% lower than when they started trading, according to Ernst & Young.
SPACs and new Chinese stock listings have also vaporized
A handful of other factors are conspiring to make 2022 a tough year for the stock exchanges.
Because of a regulatory standoff between China and the U.S., Chinese companies are not going public in the U.S. In June, Didi, a ride-sharing giant that went public a year ago, left the New York Stock Exchange.
On top of that, another fad that flourished is fading. In 2020 and 2021, hundreds of private companies went public via SPACs. Shorthand for special-purpose acquisition companies, the SPACS provided a shortcut way for companies to go public. They attract less regulatory scrutiny compared to traditional IPOs. The companies use a mechanism where they pair up with shell companies already listed on the exchanges to sell their shares.
"Investors were looking for places to put that money, and SPACs seemed like a relatively attractive place," says Thomas.
But, there is less money sloshing around now, and some 600 SPACs are sitting on the sidelines, with no one to pair with.
It's another sign of how much Wall Street has changed in just a few months.

Tuesday night’s 1-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds further exacerbated the New York Mets’ need for a power bat to bolster a lineup that has seen production dry up as of late.
So is the dangerous game to play when focused on slow, methodical rallies that rely so heavily on timely two-out hitting.
In their previous eight games entering Wednesday night’s series finale against the Reds, the Mets have averaged just 2.5 runs per game while going 3-5.
Through that stretch (and well beyond it), the Mets have had a black hole in terms of production at the designated hitter and catcher spots — issues that we opined last week could be filled by the organization’s top prospect in Francisco Alvarez, who made his Triple-A debut earlier this week.
General manager Billy Eppler will have to get more proven depth at one — if not both — areas of need, though, if he wants to see his Mets fulfill preseason expectations and make a strong October push.
It makes the Mets logical big fish to watch for leading up to Major League Baseball’s Aug. 2 trade deadline where a number of options will be available to at least inquire about.
Here are some of the top options that could be considered:
Josh Bell, Washington Nationals
With talks continuing to swirl around an exit for Dominic Smith, pursuing Bell or another first baseman makes an abundance of sense as a primary DH option that could back up Pete Alonso when he needs a rest from defensive duties. Bell is often overlooked in the conversation of top-tier first basemen in the National League given the seasons that Alonso and Paul Goldschmidt are having, but he’s been superb, batting .315 with a .906 OPS, 12 home runs, and 47 RBI. The big question is whether the Mets would have to pay more — if they even get the chance — to acquire an All-Star from a divisional rival.
Top Sportsbook Offers
Trey Mancini, Baltimore Orioles
Mancini’s name has been included in MLB trade rumors since the spring as the low-budget Orioles continue to purge important pieces of their organization, and the Mets are reportedly researching the possibilities of reuniting him with Buck Showalter (h/t Jon Heyman, New York Post. The 30-year-old’s game continues to ease back near an All-Star form experienced in 2019 before missing the entire 2020 campaign due to a battle with colon cancer, batting .281 with a .785 OPS, eight home runs, and 32 RBI in 73 games. Mancini not only can DH or backup Alonso at first, but he provides outfield depth, too, for Starling Marte and Mark Canha.
Willson Contreras, Chicago Cubs
Contreras is undoubtedly the best catcher in the National League right now and the Cubs’ most valuable trade piece as they flounder in the National League Central. With an .890 OPS and 13 home runs, his production is miles better than what the Mets are currently getting out of James McCann and Tomas Nido. Such an acquisition could be the truest form of a rental, though, as Alvarez continues to loom as the Mets’ starting catcher of the future for years to come. There also would be some concern about introducing a brand-new catcher to the team’s pitching staff for the stretch run — even if that rotation just got Max Scherzer back with Jacob deGrom not too far behind.
CJ Cron, Colorado Rockies
The 32-year-old first baseman is on pace to have a career year with the lowly Rockies, slashing .297/.347/,552 (.899 OPS) with 20 home runs and 65 RBI through 81 games. But the fact that he’s under contract through the 2023 season will either make his asking price significantly higher or could deter the Rockies from putting him on the market altogether at the deadline. There also is the concern of the offensive regression that comes from a player leaving the hitter-friendly Coors Field, especially when they could potentially head to a pitcher-friendly park like Citi Field. | https://www.amny.com/sports/mets-trade-options-dh-c-2022/ | 2022-07-06T13:10:41Z | https://www.amny.com/sports/mets-trade-options-dh-c-2022/ | false | 1 |

Whilst it was already unbelievable that every contestant would have the exact same doorbell to begin with, a post-production failure in an episode from 2018 revealed the doorbell was definitely fake, with Manu awkwardly ringing a doorbell with no visible button.
Are the contestants REALLY home cooks?
Rumours have swirled in the past that contestants were paid actors, with some viewers even suggesting that the relationships between teams were fabricated.
Season seven contestant Jordan Bruno dispelled this rumour during the 10th anniversary special when asked about the show's biggest myths.
"My favourite is, 'You're a paid actor on MKR aren't you? And I was like; one, yes I've got lots of talent, two, none of them are acting" explained Jordan.
Do the contestants actually cook?
Yes, the contestants really cook. But they don’t get to create their own menus.
During the show’s 10th anniversary special, season two winner Bella was quick to point out the authenticity of the cooking.
"So many people come up to us and ask what it's really like…you saw what it's really like, because it's real," Bella explained.
While the contestants do cook everything themselves, they don't always know what they will be cooking.
During the long audition process contestants are required to submit dozens of potential recipes to the food producers.
Outlining the process to Mamamia, season four winner Steph Mulheron explained, "a lot of teams just copy and paste from the internet, and then submit them. Not knowing that they [producers] choose a three-course meal out of everything you've sent through. And then you get told about it at 6am on the day."
Do the judges eat the food?
Fans of MKR have previously questioned if judges try all the food and past judge Pete Evans has set the story straight.
"I have never spat out food from MKR, and I have swallowed every single bit that I have ever had on the show" he explained to the Daily Telegraph.
While the judges do try all the meals, the scenes viewers watch of the judges tasting are not usually the first time they are eating the food.
Talking to AAP Pete explained, “we usually eat it within a minute or two of it being plated, but because of the logistics, we end up eating another dish later on that's been sitting there a little bit longer."
"We eat the food hot in all situations because of the logistics of it, being a TV show, it has to be done off camera," he added.
"We have already judged the dish previously, otherwise it's not fair on the teams."
Watch below: My Kitchen Rules myths busted
Are the instant restaurants filmed at the contestants' real houses?
Ever watched the show and questioned how all the contestants have enough space in their homes for the instant restaurants?
"There are a lot of teams who have smaller houses or have units that aren't suitable for instant restaurants," Steph said.
"You've got three or four cameras in front of you, lights, there's about 50 staff behind the scenes, a food team running around, so you need a large space."
Whilst some teams like Dan and Steph from season four had space in their actual home, other contestants borrow a friend or family member’s more spacious place for the instant kitchen.
Is the finale pre-recorded?
My Kitchen Rules is pre-recorded way in advance unlike many other live Australian reality shows such as I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
Whilst many other shows film grand finales in advance and swear winners to secrecy until the show airs, MKR actually film two different endings.
By filming both endings, MKR contestants only find out if they have won with the rest of Australia when the episode goes to air.
Is the drama fake?
Fans of MKR have also questioned how real the drama is throughout the season, with controversy surrounding the emergence of friendly photos between Season five contestants Chole and Kelly and on-screen rivals Helena and Vikki Moursellas.
Rumours also emerged about 'frenemies' Pat and Bianca during season ten.
Pot stirrers Josh and Austin claimed the bickering between Pat and Bianca was “all fake” and that they were actually “besties.”
But other contestants are adamant that the drama from MKR is authentic.
Roula and Rachael from season nine explained to the Sydney Morning Herald that their drama with Jess and Emma was 100% real.
"The moment we walked in there, those girls looked up and down at us and it continued. People are like, 'oh my god, this is so scripted'. Well, it's not scripted. Anything we say to each other in that room is real" Roula explained. | https://www.newidea.com.au/mkr-real-or-fake | 2022-07-06T13:19:04Z | https://www.newidea.com.au/mkr-real-or-fake | true | 1 |
CANAZEI, Italy (AP) — Authorities said conditions in the Italian Alps were too unstable Wednesday for search teams and dogs to work on the mountain where five people remained missing after a fatal weekend avalanche.
Seven people were killed after an enormous chunk of a glacier broke off Sunday, sending an avalanche of ice and rocks thundering across a trail where hikers were enjoying warm, sunny weather.
Rescuers said they hoped the temperature would dip Thursday, lessening the risk of more avalanches, so searchers could go on the Marmolada slope.
Relatives of the missing Italians pressed for the retrieval of their loved ones' bodies, which are believed to be buried under the avalanche. The size of the glacier's detached pinnacle has been compared to an apartment building.
Trento Prosecutor Sandro Raimondi said in a Wednesday interview on Italian state radio that he opened a formal investigation to determine if any negligence was involved. Prosecutors plan to consult geologists.
But Raimondi said it appeared at this point that the avalanche couldn't have been anticipated.
"The unpredictability in this moment is the chief protagonist,'' he said.
Forensic police investigators dispatched from the city of Parma took samples Wednesday from some of the remains recovered to try to determine if they belonged to any of the people missing.
Meanwhile, the mayors of Canazei and smaller towns at the base of mountains in the Dolomite range issued ordinances closing off the Marmolada peak to hikers. Some people ignored the orders and scrambled up the lower slopes.
Authorities have cited a weeks-long heat wave in northern Italy and scant winter snowfall as likely factors in the weekend breakup of the glacier, which has dramatically shrank over decades.
Last weekend, the temperature on Marmolada topped 10 degrees Celsius (50 F), unusually high for early summer, authorities said.
Polar sciences experts at an Italian government-run research center estimated that the Marmolada glacier could disappear entirely in the next 25-30 years if current climatic trends continue.
Between 2004 and 2015, the glacier lost 30% of its volume and 22% of its area.
People whose livelihoods are entwined with the mountain offered their own observations. Carlo Budel, manager of alpine hut on the side of Marmolada, recalled that the glacier was not covered with snow last month.
"Last year, when I moved to the hut on June 1st, it took me half a day only to enter because the hut was all covered in snow,” he said. “But this year, I opened the main door in just 30 minutes.”

The 21-year-old charged with murdering seven people at a Fourth of July parade in suburban Illinois is expected to make his first court appearance Wednesday, the day after authorities revealed that he had purchased his guns legally, despite two encounters with law enforcement that could have raised red flags.
The suspect, Robert Crimo III, passed four background checks and purchased five weapons, including the AR-15-type rifle used in the shooting, authorities said Thursday.
The revelations have raised questions about Illinois state gun laws and how Crimo could have qualified for gun ownership a few months after local police notified state authorities in a "clear and present danger" report.
In addition to the seven people killed in Monday's shooting, 38 others were wounded. Crimo has been charged with seven counts of murder. Prosecutors say more charges are expected.
The suspect was able to buy guns despite a 'clear and present danger' report
On Tuesday, Lake County authorities revealed that the suspect, Robert Crimo III, had two encounters with local police in 2019, before he legally obtained his weapons.
The first call, in April 2019, was a report that Crimo had attempted suicide.
Then, in September 2019, a family member called Highland Park police to report that Crimo "said he was going to kill everyone" and that he had a collection of knives, Sgt. Christopher Covelli of the Lake County Sheriff's Office said at a press conference Tuesday.
Highland Park police confiscated 16 knives, a dagger and a sword from Crimo's home – but ultimately did not arrest Crimo, Covelli said, in part because none of his family were willing to sign complaints.
Afterward, Highland Park police notified Illinois State Police of the incident in a "clear and present danger" report.
But because Crimo did not then have a FOID card – a firearm owner's identification card that is issued by Illinois State Police and required for gun ownership – nor an application to deny, the state police said, their "involvement with the matter was concluded."
Three months later, Crimo, then 19, applied for a FOID card. His application was sponsored by his father, and was approved by state police in January 2020.
Later that year, Crimo passed three background checks to purchase guns, authorities said. He passed a fourth check on Sept. 20, 2021, his 21st birthday.
In a second statement released late Tuesday, Illinois State Police directly addressed questions about why the "clear and present danger" report did not prevent Crimo from obtaining a FOID card just four months later.
"The report indicates that when police went to the home and asked the individual if he felt like harming himself or others, he responded no," the agency said. "No one, including family, was willing to move forward on a complaint nor did they subsequently provide information on threats or mental health that would have allowed law enforcement to take additional action."
Additionally, the agency said, Crimo's father claimed the knives were his, and that they were being stored in his son's closet "for safekeeping." Highland Park police returned the knives to Crimo's father later that afternoon.

MONACO (AP) — Olympic triple jump champion Yulimar Rojas cannot compete in long jump at the world championships in Oregon this month because her qualifying leap was done in unapproved shoes.
Track and field’s governing body World Athletics said Wednesday that a jump by Rojas in Spain in June — which was long enough to qualify for the worlds — “was not a valid result as she was wearing triple jump shoes which are not approved for long jump.”
The soles of long jump shoes are allowed a maximum thickness of 20 millimeters, while the limit for triple jump is 25 millimeters.
Rojas’ long jump in Spain measured 6.93 meters — a distance that would have taken a silver medal at the 2019 worlds. She was then prevented by injury from competing again to get a valid qualifying mark, the governing body said in a statement.
“We know this is disappointing for Ms. Rojas and her legions of fans,” World Athletics said, “but we very much look forward to watching Ms. Rojas compete in the triple jump.”
The 26-year-old Venezuelan is the two-time defending champion in triple jump and set two world records in the past year.
Rojas set the outdoor record of 15.67 meters at the Tokyo Olympics last August and landed a 15.74 leap at the indoor worlds held in March at Belgrade, Serbia.
The women’s triple jump final is scheduled July 18 at the worlds held in Eugene, Oregon, from July 15-24.

Makeshift boat washes ashore after Tropical Storm Colin
CASWELL BEACH, N.C. (WECT/Gray News) - Storms often lead to neat finds on the beach after they pass, but Tropical Storm Colin washed up something unique: a makeshift boat.
“On this beach alone, I’ve found so many whole sand dollars. I’m always looking for something, but I was never looking for that,” Caswell Beach resident Penny Tindall told WECT.
Penny Tindall, Addison Tindall and Kalaya Johnson went to the beach on Sunday in hopes of getting a tan and maybe seeing a sea turtle. What they didn’t expect to see was a boat washed ashore.
“It was made of heavy Styrofoam. It looked like a car engine inside,” Penny Tindall said. “Maybe six homemade oars, maybe four. If there’s that many oars, then how many people were using them to get away from where they were?”
She said Caswell Beach Police and the Coast Guard hauled away the makeshift boat the same day the discovery was made.
Bags inside the boat labeled “Made in Cuba” lead the girls to believe the boat belonged to someone traveling from Cuba.
“What if they jumped off the boat and drowned? Did something really bad happen to them?” Addison Tindall questioned. “I hope they made it somewhere they needed to be, and they’re not injured or anything like that.”
Investigators are looking into these same questions.
Immigration policy said Cuban refugees can stay in the U.S. if they made it to shore. If they’re caught at sea, however, they’re sent back to Cuba.

This violent rubber burning machine represents an odd time in racing. Possibly one of NASCAR’s most infamous vehicles was the 1969-1970 Dodge Daytona and Plymouth Superbird. Without a doubt, these things were fast. With the heavily modified front ends and gigantic rear wing of these track monsters ripping and roaring down the circle tracks of the NASCAR series, the image of these cars was forever burned into the minds of car enthusiasts from around the nation. While the Superbird and Daytona were clearing the track of their various competitors, there was something else in the works for the racing series. Unfortunately, these fascinating automobiles were booted from the series due to a new rule that specifically targeted the Mopar monster twins. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2654939273320/mid-season-mindset-progress-for-the-no-45-team | 2022-07-06T13:34:09Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2654939273320/mid-season-mindset-progress-for-the-no-45-team | true | null |
FREMONT, Calif., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Electronics, a global provider of power and thermal management solutions, today announced the acquisition of a nearly 30-acre complex in Plano, Texas is expected to become a landmark site for the R&D, manufacturing and sales of smart energy-saving products and solutions, capable of nurturing America's sustainable ICT and energy infrastructure and e-mobility. The complex, which accommodates facilities of over 400,000 square feet, is expected to create hundreds of jobs, while aiming to support additional long-term local jobs across a broad ecosystem of suppliers and partners. Community is key in attracting a pipeline of skilled talent from within the region, and Delta hopes to potentially invest substantial resources in partnership with Texas universities and local colleges.
"The Plano complex exemplifies Delta's deeper commitment to the development of a resilient supply chain while also expanding our footprint in the U.S.," says Kelvin Huang, President of Delta Electronics Americas Region. "In line with Delta's commitment to the RE100 global initiative, we expect this new site to operate 100% on renewable electricity by 2030. Delta is a company deeply rooted in innovation, and we will develop cutting-edge technologies in our new facility while aiming to generate a great number of jobs for talented Americans in the Southwest."
The Plano complex is expected to facilitate Delta's expansion of its U.S. product offering, especially in key areas, such as automotive powertrain and power management systems, high-efficiency power systems and solutions for 5G networks and data centers, as well as energy infrastructure solutions. The facility will be outfitted with state-of-the-art design, prototype, and testing equipment for advanced research for electronics products for materials, devices, and applications. It will also give Delta a greater range of technological options when developing in-house custom solutions—reducing time to market.
Delta opened its first U.S. office in 1980, with current locations in California, North Carolina, Texas, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Washington. The new Plano complex will give Delta the capability and capacity to craft smart green solutions to help America foster the foundations of sustainable cities, such as, e-mobility, eco-friendly ICT infrastructure, smart energy infrastructure, healthy green buildings and smart factories. Delta, a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) since 2011 for its world-class environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) performance, has a long history of corporate responsibility at its current U.S. sites, having built 30 green buildings worldwide since 2006. These include its LEED Platinum-certified HQs green building for the Americas region, located in Fremont, Calif., which has been designed to achieve net-zero energy standards by adopting Delta's own smart green solutions. The new site will apply green building principles and Delta's solutions to support our corporate sustainability goals.

Florida motorists saw relief at the gas pump ahead of a busy Fourth of July travel weekend.
According to a Wednesday news release from AAA, the average price of a gallon of gas in the state fell to $4.54 a gallon.
That's a drop of 10 cents in the last week and 35 cents over the last three weeks.
Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA, attributed the price drop to the price of U.S. crude oil falling below $100 a barrel for the first time since April 25.
"Gas prices are being dragged lower by falling crude oil prices, which suffered steep losses Tuesday, on worries of a global economic slowdown," Jenkins said. "If these futures price drops hold, drivers could see Florida gas prices drift back below $4.10 per gallon.
"However, this is still an extremely volatile fuel market, and we've seen oil prices rebound so many times in the past several months."
Motorists across the greater Tampa Bay region are paying an average of $4.49 a gallon.

Newcastle approach Everton over £35m Anthony Gordon transfer as they look to snap up England U21 star
NEWCASTLE have allegedly approached Everton over a £35million move for Anthony Gordon.
The England Under-21 star shone for the Toffees last term as he helped them to secure top-flight survival following a miserable campaign.
The 21-year-old scored four goals and provided three assists in all competitions and has become a firm favourite with the Goodison faithful.
His displays led to Tottenham attempting to do a double deal with Everton involving both Gordon and Richarlison, but they eventually had to settle for just the £60m Brazilian.
The Merseyside club’s board have been adamant that they will not sell the ex-Preston loanee.
However, that has not deterred Eddie Howe’s ambitious Newcastle.
The Daily Telegraph’s Mike McGrath has now reported that Toon chiefs have contacted their Everton counterparts over the availability of Gordon.
He also states that a fee of £35m has been mooted - but any deal hinges on whether the Blues opt to cash in.
Meanwhile the Daily Mail’s Craig Hope suggests that no move will take place any time soon.
He claims that discussions have taken place but there is “an acceptance” that a deal is “highly unlikely” to happen this summer.

Major deal opens the door for the minority-owned group to create more entertaining, genuine content and in-person experiences
CHICAGO, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OfflineTV and McDonald's USA have joined forces to connect fans with their favorite gamers – both online and IRL – through a partnership that will come to life through sponsored streams, integrated content and in-person events. Marking OfflineTV's first major sponsorship deal, the collaboration will elevate the ways the viral gaming group engages their global fan base, and see the Golden Arches spotlight a diverse group of content creators and brand fans furthering the brand's commitment to diversity, especially in the gaming space. The partnership kicked off last weekend at Anime Expo, the largest anime convention in North America, where fans were up close and personal with their favorite OfflineTV members at an interactive booth featuring photo opps and limited-edition merch.
"As someone who grew up with late night drive-thru runs, it's an honor to team up with McDonald's to bring great experiences to our fans," said OfflineTV founder, Scarra. "This partnership has so much in store – from unique conventions as well as trips to other countries – we're really excited to make more unique content and share all our upcoming adventures with our fans
With nearly half a billion views and more than 3 million subscribers across YouTube and Twitch, OfflineTV's diverse roster of streamers and content creators are united by a shared love for all things gaming. Their content ranges from fun challenges that follow Gen Z trends to introspective moments that allow for each member to shine. Founded in 2017 in Los Angeles, the group includes Scarra, Pokimane, LilyPichu, Disguised Toast, Yvonnie, Michael Reeves, Sydeon, Masayoshi, and QuarterJade – each boasting strong fanbases.
"Gaming is a huge passion for many McDonald's fans, so we're meeting them in the online communities that they're spending their time in," said Elizabeth Campbell, McDonald's Senior Director of Cultural Engagement. "While providing OfflineTV more opportunities to create their authentic and light-hearted online content that fans love, we're proud this collaboration allows us to help amplify voices from different backgrounds, knowing the how diverse the gaming community is."
Last December, OfflineTV and McDonald's first came together to launch the group's first-ever pop-up store to sell merch and meet fans. To accommodate overwhelming demand from fans unable to attend the in-person event in Los Angeles, the pop-up was adapted into an immersive metaverse experience that was accessible anywhere in the world through a connected device — marking the Golden Arches' first fan experience in the metaverse.
McDonald's continues to make its presence known in the gaming industry, with OfflineTV being the brand's second major gaming partnership in the past year. Last August, McDonald's announced an ongoing content partnership with FaZe Clan, the digital-native lifestyle and media platform, to promote diversity and inclusion within the gaming industry.

Best Leeds United retro shirts 2022: The 6 best classic football shirts from Leeds' history
1. Leeds United 1950s 'John Charles' away shirt
Legendary Welsh footballer John Charles was a pioneer. He's still an icon at Elland Road and immortalised with this retro shirt which was worn as a change strip in the 1950s.

2. Leeds United 1975 home shirt
The shirt that Leeds United came oh so close in. This is a remake of the beautifully minimalistic 1970s home top that the Whites got to the European Cup final wearing.

3. Leeds United 1992 home shirt
Leeds were the last side to win the top flight before the Premier League – and they did so in this fantastic jersey with giant Admiral sponsor. The detailing is re-rendered in this excellent remake shirt.

4. Leeds United 1992 away shirt

6. Leeds United 2002 away shirt
It's hard to put a finger on quite why the Leeds gradient top of 2002/03 is quite so nice – but it's become a modern classic. Arsenal, Inter and Valencia got similar kits on this template.

A Senior Reporter with Graphic Online, Zadok Kwame Gyesi, has been adjudged the best print reporter at the maiden edition of SEND Ghana’s awards ceremony on epidemics preparedness and response financing in the country.
Mr Gyesi’s was one of the six journalists awarded at the event which took place in Accra on June 30, 2022.
The award ceremony, which was in collaboration with Global Health and Advocacy Incubator (GHAI), also saw the Ghana News Agency’s (GNA) reporter, Linda Naa Deide Aryeetey, receiving the best online reporter award also emerging as the Overall Best Reporter.
Other journalists who took awards included Abigail Annoh (Runner up for Print); and Albert Fukpor (Runner up for online); Murtala Issah, Best TV Report while Ridwan Karim received the Best Reporter for the Radio category.
The awarded journalists received citations and undisclosed amounts of money.
Other awards were presented to non-journalists, including Mr. Walter Mawuli Gil, Kwame Gurundoo, Salifu Freeman, and Jane Amerley Oku for their contributions toward SEND Ghana's advocacy in epidemics preparedness and response financing in the country.
Rationale
Speaking at the awards ceremony, SEND West Africa’s Chief Executive Officer, CEO Mr. Siapha Kamara, explained that the rationale behind the award was to encourage journalists to continue reporting on, and drawing awareness to salient health issues in the country.
He said epidemic preparedness and response in every country was crucial, hence the need for journalists to be rewarded to excel in their advocacy campaign.
SEND West Africa, he said, was committed to working with the media to achieve some of the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Mr Kamara further urged journalists to continue their advocacy work and push for the government of Ghana to commit at least 15 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to the health sector.
“It is only through continuous investment into health that will ensure the country will be well-prepared to better respond to any future epidemic or pandemic that may come,” he added.
Advocacy
For his part, the Country Director (GHAI), Stephen Atasige, expressed appreciation to the media for their continuous advocacy work.
He emphasised that from lessons learnt from COVID-19, it was clear that more advocacy was required to get the government to commit more resources to prepare for the uncertain future.
He assured that his outfit and SEND Ghana will continue to work to ensure other awards schemes for the media in the coming years.
“We look forward to building a stronger coalition with you to strengthen this campaign. We are certain that next year the awards will be bigger and we will have more people to award,” Stephen Atasige said. | https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/graphic-online-reporter-wins-best-print-reporter-in-send-ghana-s-awards.html | 2022-07-06T13:53:30Z | https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/graphic-online-reporter-wins-best-print-reporter-in-send-ghana-s-awards.html | true | 1 |
Peterborough City Council has published a finance report that shows a large widening in the budget gap for 2023/24 from an expected £5 million to £9.5 million.
The council’s budget is the amount of money that it has to spend on services in any given financial year.
The budget gap is the difference between what is available to the council to spend and what is actually needed to deliver those services.
‘Everything is costing more’
Speaking to members of the Joint Scrutiny Committees at their meeting (5 July), councillor Andy Coles, Cabinet Member for Finance, said: “Like every council and business across the country we are not immune to the impacts of inflation, the cost of living crisis and the war in Ukraine.
“Everything is costing more, whether it’s heating schools and other public buildings, the cost of filling potholes, construction projects or the price of fuel.
“We always knew that our estimates of future year budgets might increase, and the expert modelling by our finance team allows us to plan and develop strategies so that we can work well in advance to reduce budget gaps and develop strategies in future years.”
In the financial year 2021/22 the council had to close a budget gap of £27 million to set a balanced budget, which it achieved.
In 2023/24 the council was predicting a budget gap of around £5 million.
However, current modelling by the finance team in the ‘Medium-Term Financial Strategy 2023-2026, Q1 Update Report’ shows that gap has now widened to £9.5 million, and in 2024/25 it is expected to widen further to £12.9 million, and as a much as £15.1 million in 2025/26.
The report highlights five areas which the Corporate Leadership Team of the council has targeted for a future sustainable council:
Getting a grip of the financial position and ensuring robust savings plans to deliver a balanced budget each year; Setting a future direction for the city working with partners to identify the role the council will play; Taking stock of leadership and managerial capacity to identify a new target operating model; Looking at the way the council does things including the decision making process, general communication, and engagement; Maximising the impact of growth for all communities to ensure it is delivered in a sustainable and inclusive way.
The report also shows areas where additional savings of up to £16.6 million could be made, with up to £4.4 million of savings potentially made in adult social care and fostering.
Councillor Coles explained: “We’ve tried to imagine where savings could be made in this area but we’ve categorised them as ‘high risk’ because they would be quite difficult to deliver.
“We could make some savings in procurement but these are also categorised as risky because we have contracts that we must honour.
“Finally, in the leisure and culture sector, we could make more savings; but that’s an area where there are pressures from the community and what’s best to invest in.”
Members of the Joint Scrutiny Committees noted the report which will now go forward to Full Council on 27 July 2022.

NEVADA COUNTY (CBS13) — The latest on the Rices Fire in Nevada County:

According to Cal Fire, containment has grown to 85%.
Previous week’s updates below:
7:25 a.m.
All evacuation orders and warnings for the Rices Fire have now been lifted in Nevada County, the sheriff’s office said on Monday morning.
Cal Fire reports 65% containment of the incident. The fire has not grown beyond 904.
Previous week’s updates below:
July 3
There was minimal fire activity overnight which allowed firefighters to increase containment to 45 percent while mopping up hotspots, Cal Fire said in an update Sunday morning.
Acreage remains at 904 with full containment still expected Tuesday.
Cal Fire reports there are 10 structures threatened at this time, but Sunday’s relatively low winds and temperatures in the 80s will provide more opportunity for firefighting personnel to increase containment and extinguish any remaining hot spots.
Previous day’s (July 2) updates below:
7:17 p.m.
Containment on the Rices Fire again grew through Saturday to 35% while the acreage burned remained steady at 904, Cal Fire said Saturday evening.
Additionally, evacuation orders were placed in Nevada County due to some structure fires burning near the Rices Fire. At this time, it is unclear what caused the fires and if they are related to the Rices Fire which is burning in the same general area.
7:55 a.m.
Containment grew to 26% overnight Friday, but firefighters are keeping a watchful eye on increased winds that could fan the flames across the river and into Yuba County, as well as threaten to spread the fire to the north into the community of San Juan.
The fire remains at 904 acres, according to Cal Fire’s latest report Saturday morning.
A total of 13 structures have been destroyed, which includes five residences.
Full containment is still expected by Tuesday.
Previous day’s (July 1) updates below:
7:40 a.m.
Firefighters are optimistic that favorable weather will continue to help in their battle against the Rices Fire.
Cal Fire reported Friday morning that the blaze has still been held at 904 acres, the same number it has been since Wednesday evening. Containment has also crept up to 22%.
Some mandatory evacuation orders were lifted on Thursday.
Wind gusts expected on Friday do remain a concern, however, firefighters say.
Previous day’s (June 30) updates below:
9:07 p.m.
The Rices Fire remains at 904 acres burned and 20% containment.
Cal Fire said one civilian and 13 firefighters have suffered injuries. One structure has been destroyed while another 250 remain threatened.
Full containment is expected by Tuesday now.
7:20 p.m.
Some of the mandatory evacuation orders have been lifted and repopulation efforts have begun in some areas as firefighters gained significant ground on the Rices Fire, the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday evening.
Zones NCO-E329 and NCO-E383 were downgraded to an evacuation warning, and residents within that zone may begin returning home. The area of Pleasant Valley Road between Birchville Road and Bridgeport is open to residents only and residents must show a valid ID to enter.
The sheriff’s office said only a portion of zone NCO-E029 has been downgraded to an evacuation warning, while the rest remains under a mandatory evacuation order. Those roads still under the order are Rices Crossing, Troost Trail, Den Court, Mark Court and Cranston Road.
4:27 p.m.
Cal Fire reports that seven firefighters suffered injuries related to heat illness.
Evacuations remain in place. Full containment is expected by Sunday, officials say.
7:30 a.m.
The Rices Fire has not grown since Wednesday evening, Cal Fire reports.
The size still stands at 904 acres as of Thursday morning. Containment has also crept up to 12%.
Exactly what started the fire is still under investigation.
Cooler weather and an increase in humidity aided the battle against the fire, authorities said Thursday.
Previous day’s (June 29) updates below:
7:32 p.m.
Cal Fire reported that the Rices Fire was 904 acres, though containment has jumped to 10%.
1:07 p.m.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been told to stump up almost £8million for Portuguese starlet André Almeida.
Vitória Guimarães player Almeida has emerged as a cheaper option to bolster Wolves’ midfield ranks. According to reports in Portugal, Wolves and Primeira Liga champions Porto are most interested in the midfielder.
Wolves boss Bruno Lage has been boosted by Joao Moutinho’s one-year contract extension, while Barcelona’s interest in Ruben Neves has cooled. Wolves would still like to add one midfielder to their ranks ahead of the new season though.
READ: Wolves can sell Morgan Gibbs-White to Everton or Nottingham Forest on one condition
READ: Wolves receive clear Adama Traore transfer instruction amid exit claims
Matheus Nunes is a player Lage rates highly, but signing the 23-year-old Portugal international from Sporting is easier said than done. Chelsea have now reportedly joined the race for Nunes and are ready to offer up to £43m to seal the deal.
Almeida won’t cost Wolves anywhere near that sum, but Vitória Guimarães want €9m (£7.7m) for the 22-year-old. Almeida has become a regular in Vitória’s starting line-up over the last two years and helped them to a sixth-placed finish in 2021/22.
Despite lots of interest in Almeida, Vitória haven’t yet received a convincing bid for the midfielder. Giving a brief update on Almeida’s situation to Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Notícias (via Sport Witness), Vitória president Antonio Miguel Cardoso said: “The values presented are still far from what we understand to be the real value."
Should Wolves firm up their interest in Almeida? Have your say in the comments section below...

Try these yoga poses if you suffer from constipation.

Yoga has been the answer to almost all the problems when it comes to health. It can also be the solution for your constipation issues. Though people might not think of yoga as a solution for constipation, research proves that yoga is an effective way to help alleviate the problem of constipation.
According to PubMed, yoga can be beneficial for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is not only a cost-effective alternative therapy but also helps manage predominant symptoms of IBS like constipation and diarrhoea. Yoga also helps address other symptoms of IBS, such as anxiety and fatigue.
A few yoga poses can help relieve constipation by encouraging a person's digestive tract to pass stool or gas.
In this article, you will know more about the yoga poses that may help alleviate constipation.
Some of these poses might be challenging and you might need to be cautious while practicing these postures. Make sure not to push yourself too hard. You might want to consult a yoga instructor before practicing these advanced poses.
You can try this yoga pose while sitting on a yoga mat or any soft surface. Follow these steps:
Sit straight with your legs stretched straight out in front of the body.
Try bending your right leg and place the right foot on the ground (on the outside of the left leg) near the knee.
Now, bend the left leg and place it under the buttocks.
Then, slowly place your left hand or elbow on the right knee and gently twist to face over the right shoulder.
Try holding the pose for a few breaths before you switch sides.
Here are the steps to practice the supine twist to help alleviate constipation:
Lie flat on the back on a mat.
Stretch the arms out to the side in a T-position with palms down.
Try bending one leg at the knee.
Keep the shoulders flat and gently drop the bent leg over the other leg.
Hold the pose for a few breaths before repeating it on the opposite side.
The Crescent Lunge Twist is a standing pose that requires a person to be in a lunge position. This pose also involves twisting the torso, which may help effect bowel movements.
To perform this twist:
Lunge forward with the right leg bent and the left leg straight.
Place the hands into a prayer position and slowly bend the upper body toward the right knee, leading with the left shoulder.
Hold the pose for a few breaths, then return to standing and start again with the opposite leg.
The Cobra Pose is the easiest pose to try, it does not require any twisting and can help alleviate other symptoms such as gas.
You will be able to get into the pose in a few steps:
Lie flat on the stomach and keep your toes pointed out.
Place the palms on the floor at the sides in such a way that they are next to the shoulders.
Make sure your abdominal and leg muscles are engaged.
Lift the head slightly and gently move the neck backward.
Now, press your palms against the floor and gently lift the shoulders and your upper body in the upward direction.
Hold the pose for a few minutes and inhale deeply.
Then, release your breath and lower the body back to the floor.
This is an easy and quite effective pose that strengthens the abdominal muscles. According to the Yoga Institute, it is an effective pose for people who experience gas and digestive problems as it puts pressure on the abdomen. It is one of the advanced poses, so do not push your body too hard.
Lie flat on the stomach, use a soft surface or a yoga mat.
Bend your knees slowly.
Slowly extend your arms backward and try to clasp the ankles.
Now gently raise the chest off the floor, as far as you can go.
While using the tension between the arms and legs, lift the thighs and upper body off the floor.
Hold the pose for a few seconds, then release.

Gun violence in US leaves long list of victims
ATHENS, Ala. (AP) — Amid the stream of mass shootings that have become chillingly commonplace in America, the reality of the nation’s staggering murder rate can often be seen more clearly in the deaths that never make national news.
Take this weekend in Chicago. On Monday, a rooftop shooter opened fire into crowds gathered for an Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb, killing at least seven people and wounding some 30.
Less talked about, Chicago Police say 68 people were shot in the city between Friday at 6 p.m. and just before midnight on Monday. Eight of them died.
GRAPHIC WARNING: The videos included in this story may contain disturbing content.
Most gun violence in America is related to seemingly ordinary disputes that spin out of control and someone goes for a gun. Often, the victim and the shooter know one another. They are co-workers and acquaintances, siblings and neighbors. They are killed in farming villages, small towns and crowded cities.
They are people like David Guess, a 51-year-old small-town father of four who had struggled with addiction and who police say was shot by an acquaintance and dumped in an Alabama forest near a place called Chicken Foot Mountain.
His killing drew little attention outside the rural stretch of northern Alabama where Guess grew up and later worked as a mechanic and truck driver. But his death shattered many lives.
“It’s been absolutely devastating” to the Guess family, said his brother, Daniel Guess. Their 72-year-old father, Larry, now rarely leaves his home and often doesn’t get out of bed.
Daniel didn’t just lose his brother in the shooting.
“I’ve lost my dad. too,” he said. “It is killing my dad.”

Compared to much of the developed world, the United States is a murderous country. The United Nations estimates the U.S. homicide rate is three times that of Canada, five of France, 26 of Japan. According to some studies, there are more guns in America today than there are people.
But if Americans often see the country’s streets as ever more dangerous scenes of public mass killings, the reality is more complicated.
While mass killings soak up the vast majority of the attention, more than half of the U.S.’s roughly 45,000 annual firearm deaths are from suicide. Mass shootings — defined as the deaths of four or more people, not including the shooter — have killed from 85 to 175 people each year over the past decade.
Plus, while the U.S.’s gun killings spiked wildly in 2020, recent statistics indicate they are coming down this year in many cities.
Further complicating things: The data on firearm killings is woefully incomplete, with just over 60% of the country’s law enforcement agencies reporting crime statistics to the FBI’s national database.
“Our lack of shooting data is devastating for understanding gun violence trends,” said Jeff Asher, a data analyst and co-founder of the firm AH Datalytics, which creates its own crime database to try to get around some of those shortcomings. “This is a government issue, but citizens are forced to develop workarounds” to create a clearer picture of what is happening.
While the FBI collects nationwide crime data, participation is voluntary on the federal level and thousands of law enforcement agencies send nothing or partial information. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does a careful count of homicides, but its data on each death is limited.
So when politicians debate whether AR-15-style rifles lead to more killings, or if extended magazines that carry more bullets lead to more deaths, no one is really sure. CDC statistics for 2020, for example, shows that authorities know what kind of weapon was used in just 24% of firearm deaths. Both sides on the gun control debate, meanwhile, can frame what facts there are to suit their purposes.
___
Across the nation, people are afraid.
Nearly a third said they can’t go anywhere without worrying about being the victim of a mass shooting, according to 2019 survey by the American Psychological Association. Nearly a quarter said they have changed how they live to avoid mass shootings, sometimes avoiding public events, malls and movie theaters.
But are they afraid of the wrong things?
“The coverage has given people the impression that things are different today, that we’ve never really experienced these (mass killings) before. But we have. It’s more common now, but it’s still extremely, extremely rare,” given the size of the U.S. population, said James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University who has been tracking mass killings since 2006 along with The Associated Press and USA Today.
Hyperventilating news coverage has contributed to the fear, he believes, with overwhelming, live coverage of mass shootings and reports that conflate mass shootings — where multiple people are injured — with mass killings. Just 5% of mass shootings end with four or more people dead, he said, “and only a quarter of those are in schools, churches and public places like that.”
Fox doesn’t downplay the horror of mass killings or the pain they inflict on victims, families and communities. But he worries that America’s reactions — active shooter drills, for instance, and bunker-like schools — produce outsized fears and misspent resources.
They also give people the wrong impression of how Americans are dying. Most homicides, he says, are one person killing another.
And one sure thing: You’ve never heard of most of those shooting victims.
They are people like Oneil Anderson, owner of the Love Cuts barbershop in Miami Gardens, Florida, who police say was killed in front of his shop in March, reportedly by a former customer. There’s Leslie Bailor, whose husband allegedly shot her repeatedly inside their central Pennsylvania home in April and then called police. She was dead when they arrived. There’s 18-year-old Jailyn Logan-Bledso, who was shot and killed two weeks ago at a gas station just outside Chicago by two men who stole her car and disappeared.
On June 26, Atlanta police say Brittany Macon, a 26-year-old employee at a Subway sandwich shop was shot and killed when a customer grew irate and opened fire. He also injured another employee. The customer, police said, was angry about having too much mayonnaise on his sandwich.
Homicides are often associated with big cities like Chicago, where police say the majority of killings have some tie to gang rivalries, which in recent years often fester on social media before spilling into the streets. But while Chicago’s homicide rate is high, with nearly 800 killings in the city of 2.7 million last year, its rate per capita is lower than many smaller cities.
Gun deaths are far from just a big city phenomenon. Nearly 30% of all gun deaths in 2020 were in smaller cities and rural parts of the country, according to the CDC. Half were in large cities and their suburbs, with around 20 percent in medium-sized cities and counties.
Lawrence County, Alabama, where Guess was killed, had two other killings that same week in March. That’s more than are killed in an average year in the county of 33,000, Sheriff Max Sanders told reporters in March.
Sanders couldn’t explain the surge in homicides. In one, a husband allegedly shot his wife during an argument and then took his own life. In the other, a son is accused of beating his mother to death with an ashtray and other objects from around the house because she got rid of his dog and refused to take him to see his girlfriend.
___
David Guess’ death began with an argument over a car part.
Guess had struggled with addiction but had been clean for more than a month before his death, his brother Daniel said. He had adopted three of his four children and once contemplated becoming a preacher. In recent weeks, he lived in a camper parked next to his father’s trailer home.
He would, his brother said, “give you the shirt off his back.”
On March 5, court documents say David Guess drove down a dusty county road near the town of Hillsboro to the home of a man he knew. Late that night, another man, Charles Allan Keel, arrived. He insisted Guess owed him $1,500 for a catalytic converter, which have become valuable as scrap metal because of pricey metals inside them.
Keel, 43, along with his 17-year-old son and other men beat Guess, and someone hit him in the head with a pipe, police say. As Guess tried to escape, police say Keel shot him with a handgun. Five people were charged, but only Keel faces a murder charge.
Two days later, a delivery truck driver found David Guess’ remains near the forest road, two miles from where he’d been killed. Rings of charred black rubber marked where police say Keel and several accomplices had piled tires on top of the body and set it on fire.
Tears well in Larry Guess’ eyes as he sits at his battered wooden dining table and recalls the phone call David made to him around midnight on March 5. David implored his father to bring him $1,500 right away.
“If you don’t, he’s going to kill me,” David said. Larry responded that he couldn’t get that much money that quickly.
The last words he ever heard from his son before the line went dead were of David Guess imploring someone nearby: “Don’t hit me with that pipe again.”

By Luminous Jannamike, Abuja
A resident of the Kuje Area Council, who resides within the precincts of the correctional centre which was attacked by terrorists on Tuesday night, Ms. Grace Opadukun, has said she fled her home during the crossfire between the terrorists and security operatives.
The mother of three, who escaped from her house with her kids, to a church in Pasali Area of the Kuje council, said she took the risk of fleeing the area that night because of her kids.
She told Vanguard, “We just came from the church around 7pm on Tuesday and I was waiting for my husband who is a taxi driver to return before I go to bed. Around 10:15pm, I even spoke with him and he told me he was around Lugbe heading home.
“A few minutes later, I started hearing gunshots. As I was still trying to make sense of what was happening, my neighbour rushed out, saying that his cousin called on the phone to inform him that they sighted some people with what looked like guns trekking in large numbers through a plantation in the area.
“Before we knew what was happening, there were gunshots intensified while thick smoke was also coming from the direction of the custodial facility. It was then that we knew that the prison was under a serious attack and we started running to a place of safety.
“I couldn’t imagine losing my three kids in the crossfire. I had woken my children from sleep and we all fled the area with some of my neighbours to a church in Pasali that night. We stayed there till this morning.” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/kuje-prison-attack-how-i-fled-my-home-with-my-kids-mother-of-three-recounts-experience/ | 2022-07-06T14:06:26Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/kuje-prison-attack-how-i-fled-my-home-with-my-kids-mother-of-three-recounts-experience/ | true | 1 |
