Amazon Prime Day patio deals
Not just a day, but a 48-hour event, Amazon Prime Day 2022 falls on July 12 and 13. It’s the perfect time to find patio deals to make the most of the rest of the summer, as you’ll find some of the deepest discounts this side of Black Friday.
While it’s not yet clear which products will be on offer during the event, you can prepare ahead of time. Plus, if you find any deals you’d regret passing up between now and then, it’s worth jumping on them.
Types of Prime Day patio deals
Anything that you might want for your patio, you’ll find reduced on Prime Day. If you have an exact item in mind, right down to the brand and model, you may end up disappointed. However, if you’re adaptable and willing to buy any outdoor sectional, for example, rather than a specific one, you won’t have a problem finding great deals.
These are just some of the products you’ll find discounted on Prime Day.
- Outdoor couches and sectionals: Couches and sectionals are ideal for creating a relaxed patio area.
- Patio dining sets: Do you love al fresco dining or throwing outdoor dinner parties for guests? Then a patio dining set is what you need.
- Outdoor loungers and daybeds: If you love sprawling out while you relax, an outdoor daybed or lounge chair is ideal.
- Other patio furniture: You’ll find offers on any other patio furniture you can think of, including benches, bistro sets, chairs and outdoor bean bag loungers.
- Patio planters: Planters help liven up a patio, bringing flowers and greenery to your outdoor space.
How to prepare for Prime Day
Save the date
Prime Day 2022 starts July 12 at midnight PDT and runs until the end of July 13. Mark it in your calendar or consider setting an alert on your phone so you don’t forget.

This gives you access to free shipping and Prime Video year-round. Alternatively, if you haven’t had a Prime membership in the past 12 months, you’re eligible for a 30-day free trial.
Update your details
You could have the perfect flash deal in your basket, only to find yourself missing out because your credit card or shipping details aren’t up to date. Check ahead of Prime Day and update them, if necessary.
Add items to your basket
You can save time during the event by adding things you want to buy to your shopping basket ahead of time. There’s no guarantee they’ll be part of a Prime Day deal, but if their price is dropped, you’ll see right away.

Hot weather continues to blanket the area with quite a few spots hitting 100° again Wednesday afternoon. 100° has remained just out of reach in Springfield with Wednesday’s high at 99°. Despite falling short of triple-digit highs, this is still the hottest 3-day stretch since August of 2014.
Hot weather will continue to dominate the headlines through Thursday with a summer ridge remaining parked just to our south. The ridge will shift further west heading into the weekend opening the door to a weak cool front Friday.
Ahead of the front Thursday, we’ll find more blistering sunshine with afternoon highs in the upper 90s and low 100s. Thursday will likely be the area’s hottest day out of this July heat wave and an Excessive Heat Warning has been posted through midnight Thursday night. Most areas will remain dry through Thursday, but the door may be open to a few isolated showers closer to Central Missouri and across the Eastern Ozarks.
Rain chances will get a boost late Thursday night into Friday night as a cool front drops in from the north. Spotty showers and thunderstorms may drop into the area near sunrise Friday before fading away. Skies will tend to be partly sunny Friday with additional spotty showers and thunderstorms developing Friday afternoon and continuing into Friday night. Temperatures will be hot again, but cloud cover should temper the heat a little with highs generally in the mid to upper 90s north of the state line with areas to the south flirting with 100°.
Slightly cooler air will build in from the northeast Saturday. Morning clouds will thin out Saturday afternoon with temperatures climbing back up to near 90°. Rain chances will shift off to the south with spotty showers and storms possible mainly near and south of the state line.
The heat will surge again Sunday into Monday with highs in the mid-90s Sunday and back up near 100° Monday.
Another weak cool front will drop in Monday night into Tuesday bringing an increase in clouds and a chance for spotty showers and thunderstorms. Less humid and dry weather will develop by Wednesday. Afternoon highs will be trimmed back again with low 90s expected both days.
There will be a bit of a shift in the pattern for the rest of next week with a trough positioned in the Eastern U.S. The pattern shift will tend to keep the excessive heat of this week west of the area. Lower humidity will make for more comfortable nights, but it will also keep the area parched. | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/todays-forecast-2/forecast-one-more-shot-at-100-cooler-weather-this-weekend/ | 2022-07-07T02:14:49Z | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/todays-forecast-2/forecast-one-more-shot-at-100-cooler-weather-this-weekend/ | false | 1 |

Desert Hot Springs police announce arrests in two different murder investigations
The Desert Hot Springs Police Department has arrested suspects connected to two different homicide cases.
The first arrest was related to a deadly shooting that happened on the night of December 8, 2021 on the 66700 block of Ironwood Drive.
Police arrived and found Evan Rivas, 28, with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
On May 31, detectives arrested Jorge Valdez, 19, of Desert Hot Springs. County jail records show that he was arrested in San Bernardino.
Valdez has been charged with murder, as well as a special circumstance of murder in the commission of a robbery. He pleaded not guilty to all charges at his arraignment last week.
Valdez remains in custody at the Blythe Jail where he is being held without bail.
According to court records, Valdez previously pleaded guilty to charges of robbery and driving under the influence.
The other murder arrests came from a deadly shooting that occurred on May 28, 2021, on the 12600 block of Cactus Drive.
Officers found Fernando Delgado Cardenas, 19, suffering from gunshot wounds. The officers attempted life-saving measures but he was pronounced dead in the hospital. Police said two additional victims were nearly struck by gunfire as well.
On June 16, 2022, detectives arrested Casey Gillespie, 20, of Desert Hot Springs, in connection to Cardenas's murder. County jail records show that Gillespie was located in Arizona.
Gillespie was charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder, as well as an added special circumstance of murder committed by a criminal street gang member.
On June 28, 2022, detectives arrested a second suspect, an 18-year-old man.
The teen, a Desert Hot Springs resident, is facing murder charges, along with two counts of attempted murder, and an added special circumstance of murder committed by a criminal street gang member.
The 18-year-old and Gillespie remain in custody and are being held without bail. Gillespie is being held in Blythe jail.

Ever since hitting the scene in 2019, Our Place has set the internet aflutter with its aesthetic, beautifully designed goods for elevating home cooking. In just three short years, it's revolutionised the all-in-one pan, reimagined the iconic cast-iron skillet, and even collaborated with Selena Gomez. Now, it's coming for your oven.
Meet Our Place's latest launch: the Ovenware Set, a five-piece set of everything (truly, everything) you could ever need to bake, roast, and generally cook up a storm. As a proud owner (and lover) of the Always Pan, I had very high expectations for its foray into bakeware. The set is available in a variety of familiar colourways (the five shades match the original shades of the Always Pan and Perfect Pot), ranging from sandy beige to sage green. I went with Blue Salt, a muted light blue that instantly brightened up my apartment's kitchen. Ahead, keep reading as I test-drive Our Place's hottest new launch.

Our Place Ovenware Set, £165
Our Place kindly gifted me a set to review, and I unboxed it probably within seconds. Not only were the pans absolutely gorgeous, but they were beautifully crafted and felt sturdy in my hands. The set consisted of three ceramic "bakers" (aka loaf pans) in three sizes, plus a sheet pan and a reusable, nontoxic silicone Oven Mat. As someone who both loves to consume and create baked goods, I was beyond excited to put them to use ASAP. I settled on a recipe for one of my favourite Japanese desserts, a matcha-infused castella. (Castella is a fluffy honey cake similar to pound cake.)
In my mind, I waited with anticipation as an imaginary Noel Fielding shouted, "On your marks, get set...bake!" and I got to work. (Is it any wonder that I'm also a massive Great British Bake Off fan?) After preheating my oven and mixing all my wet and dry ingredients, I lined the Side Bake pan — the medium one — with parchment paper and filled it up with batter. (The liner is optional, but it is helpful for preserving the coating and making for super-easy cleanup.)
After letting my oven do its thing, I took the pan out, rested it on the mat (which doubles as a grid to evenly space out balls of dough, BTW), and let my cake cool. From there, I flipped the pan upside down and carefully let the cake fall onto a board for slicing. To my delight, my pan looked like it was barely used — I'm hoping that with continued care, it'll serve me for years to come.

At £165 for five pieces, the set is in line with the rest of Our Place's offerings. It's hardly a cheap thrill, but dare I say, it feels like a value given the fact that it has replaced all my previous bakeware in one fell swoop? What's more, a brand-new coterie of cookware has reignited my love of baking like nothing else and has fully made me feel like the Star Baker of my home. I think Paul and Prue would be very, very proud, TBH.

TAIPEI, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to rising demand for increased bandwidth of network traffic, NEXCOM, a leading supplier of network appliances, has released a compact single-port 200GbE network interface card (NIC). NL 110FM-OS leverages the award-winning NVIDIA® ConnectX®-6 Dx SmartNIC silicon and a PCIe Gen4 interface that doubles the speed of data transfer, compared with the previous generation PCIe standard. The network connection is enabled through one QSFP56 port to utilize double-bit PAM4 data transmission, and the NIC card is compatible with NEXCOM's latest rackmount network appliances.
The sheer volume of data traveling over the IT network leaves service providers no other choice but to adjust to the new reality. One of the ways to solve the problem is to increase the number of servers and another is to migrate to more compact solutions based on the latest technologies. The first method will require purchasing additional servers, leading to maintenance personnel expansion and energy consumption growth, whereas the second method is simply to increase the bandwidth of existing network nodes. This latter option provides a greener solution and should be preferable for all CSPs whether or not they have environmental concerns in reducing their carbon footprint.
NEXCOM's 200GbE NIC card increases the overall speed of a node on the network. NL 110FM-OS features one QSFP56 port to enable double-bit data transmission via a new signal modulation format called PAM4. This allows 200 gigabits per second of data traffic in each direction using a single 4-lane copper or fiber cable. The NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Dx SmartNIC provides more value-added features, including advanced networking and security to accelerate mission-critical applications. Thus, NL 110FM-OS is perfectly fit for security, virtualization, SDN, NFV, big data, machine learning, storage, and network performance testing and emulation.
"By adopting the latest 200GbE NIC card powered by ConnectX-6, our customers can significantly increase the throughput of their servers and pivot to massive data processing without much effort," said Matthew Liu, CTO of Network & Communication Solutions at NEXCOM. "We have a long history of working with NVIDIA on the adaptation of previous generation LAN controllers and are looking forward to our next successful joint projects."
"Data centers are being transformed by the growing demands of next-generation architectures required for massive hyperscale clouds and AI workloads," said Eunice Chiu, VP, Sales and GM Taiwan at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA's networking platform equips innovators such as NEXCOM to supercharge networking performance for the next wave of breakthrough data center applications."
About NEXCOM
Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, NEXCOM integrates its diverse capabilities and operates six global businesses, including the Network and Communication Solutions (NCS) unit. NCS focuses on the latest network technology and helps to build reliable network infrastructure, by delivering professional design and manufacturing services for customers all over the world.

Cryptocurrency Woes Could Add Volatility to Short-Term Rates, Report Says
The woes of the cryptocurrency sector may add volatility to short-term borrowing rates, warns Steven Kelly, of the Yale Program on Financial Stability, in a research note this week. At issue is what happens if more people move away from so-called stablecoins amid the broader market tumult, as these securities are tied to conventional assets like short-term Treasury debt and commercial paper, he said. Large movements out of stablecoins are “an underappreciated risk for the short-term interest rate complex” and should be on traders’ radar, said Kelly.

Like a moth to a lightbulb, gamers are drawn to Nanoleaf wall lights as if they’re the most incredible things they’ve ever seen. But are Nanoleaf tiles a good idea for renters?
A lot of us aspirational Nanoleaf lovers, to the surprise of nobody, are renters! What a terrible turn of events: wanting to stick high-quality (and very expensive) light tiles to your wall and being worried about keeping your bond when you move out.
Well, as a renter in the increasingly expensive inner west of Sydney, I’m happy to report that I’ve just set up a starter pack of Nanoleaf canvas lights (the square ones) on my apartment walls, for the purpose of science, of course.
We’ve done Nanoleaf reviews before, but we’ve never paid much attention to the renter’s perspective on Nanoleaf products.
That’s what we’re doing today, because even if you can’t afford your own house and you’re unlikely to anytime soon, you deserve a comfy home with comfy lights.
Let’s do it: Nanoleaf for renters, everyone.
Nanoleaf lights, easiest to hardest
So before we get really stuck into it, let’s just run down the Nanoleaf product catalogue, from “easiest for renters” to hardest.
We begin with the Nanoleaf Bulbs, which are Bluetooth and thread-enabled smart lights, available in bayonet and screw configurations. These are the easiest for renters to use, obviously, because they can easily be installed and uninstalled from most light fittings.
Then we get to the Nanoleaf Lightstrips, ideal for installation mostly on furniture or on benches, usually to illuminate the undersides or backsides of bulky things (illuminating the surfaces they touch, without the lights themselves being that visible). These are probably the next most ideal for renters, as they’ll usually be the most out-of-the-way and will likely be placed on objects you own in the home.
Then, we get to the Nanoleaf panels, where the brand specialises (competition is rife, with Philips and Sengled also making a name for themselves in the space). These come in all different shapes, including square canvas panels, wood-patterned hexagons and RGB hexagons. Because these are applied to the wall with command strips, these can be quite the concern for renters, which is exactly what I was worried about when I was installing them.
After some consideration, I think the best way that we can talk about this is by dispelling our worries with a list.
What renters should know about Nanoleaf tiles
Please think about the wall they’re going on
Don’t f**k around and find out. If you put your tiles up on a wall with weak, easy-to-tear paint (common in many rentals I’ve lived in), don’t use that wall. At best, you’ll tear the paint and it will be used against you when you move out, and at worst, the tiles will fall at some point, ripping the paint and potentially breaking the lights. The rules aren’t the same for Nanoleaf tiles and posters: blu tack will not suffice.
Think about the pattern and the arrangement
Arrange the tiles in the way that you most like, but be aware of the underside connectors. There aren’t connectors frequently on every spot of the underside of Nanoleaf tiles, so make sure your arrangement works and aligns properly between all tiles before committing to putting them on the wall.
As long as all tiles are joined with at least one connector each, they’ll work fine. Make sure the connector modules are firmly in place too, and work out a way to slot them in without much hassle (I simply slotted them into already placed tiles and slid additional tiles on top of them). Additionally, be aware that your layout may change if you flip the design when planning it.
To help you along your way, Nanoleaf offers a “Layout Assistant” in its free app, letting you not only arrange your tiles in the ways you’d like (connector modules included) but also allowing you to place your creation on your wall using your phone’s AR lens (this was a very cool part of the process).
There’s no room for error
When I was installing the Nanoleaf Canvas lights (which I did so with my good friend Claudia), we were pretty unimpressed with how few command strips were provided. There’s zero room for error, which means that you absolutely need to have your arrangement in order before you put it up. If you make a mistake, it’s not the end of the world (if you’re quick you can take the panel off the wall and place it again), but consider buying some more command strips.
Mistakes happen
Though there’s no room for error, you may make a mistake on the fly. There’s no shame in lifting your tiles up and quickly replacing them, especially if they’re in the wrong order or not connected to power, but be quick before you lose the strength of your command strips. This happened to us, but thankfully we were quick.
Be prepared to replace the paint
Unless you want repair costs to be deducted from your bond (in case the paintwork is damaged), renters with Nanoleaf tiles should be prepared to do some painting when you move out. Lifehacker has a great article on that, but do make sure you get the right paint.
Bluetooth and ‘thread’
The last thing I’ll warn you about is the connectivity of Nanoleaf lights. For light customisation, Nanoleaf tiles require a 2.4Ghz modem (5Ghz connections aren’t compatible). Nanoleaf bulbs require a Bluetooth connection to your phone or they can be connected to your modem via a “thread” network, available on some modems. When I switched to my Eero modem’s thread network, my Bulbs worked much faster, with less dropouts.
The connections on these lights aren’t perfect, though: when using Bluetooth connectivity on the Bulbs, the lights were often “unreachable” through the app or linked smart home apps (for some reason, HomeKit seemed to work better for me than Google Home). The canvas panels are also sometimes “unreachable”.
These problems can be resolved by power cycling the devices. Just be aware that you may have to get up and flick a light switch or turn the panels off and on again from time to time. Also, understand that you won’t be able to turn the lights off from outside the house.
That’s about it
We hope we’ve helped out at least a few renters who want to pick up some Nanoleaf tiles. If you think we should include something in this guide, shoot me a message.

Apple’s new chips will be exclusive to high-end iPhones in the future
Entry and mid-level iPhones will be fitted with the previous year’s processors.
Apple is reportedly gearing up to change its structure when it comes to releasing new iPhones. Going forward, only the high-end, Pro models of new iPhones will be fitted with the latest Apple chips, starting with the iPhone 14 later this year.
This news comes from a new report from market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo had previously speculated that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro would be the first iPhones in the same series that will have different processors.
The iPhone 14 Pro models will likely include the new A16 Bionic processors. But the entry and mid-level iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will have last year’s A15 chip.
But now, Kuo speculates that this is only the beginning of a major shift in Apple’s business model when it comes to iPhone.

Going forward, Kuo says, it’s likely that only the high-end, Pro models of the iPhone will contain Apple’s latest processors.
Entry and mid-level iPhones will have the processor from the previous year. This will further separate the capabilities of the average iPhone and the iPhone Pro models.
For example, next year’s iPhone 15 will likely be fitted with an A16 processor. However, the iPhone 15 Pro models will likely have a new and improved processing unit.
This change represents a major shift in how Apple presents its iPhones. Before this change, all iPhones in the same series typically included the same processing chip.
But this shift means that there will be an even more noticeable increase in performance when jumping up to the Pro models of the latest iPhones.
It will be interesting to see how the change affects iPhone sales and if a juicy, new processor will be enough to entice more users into spending extra for the upgraded models.

- A blast set off by "unknown individuals" damaged the Georgia Guidestones, authorities said.
- Vandals and conspiracy theorists have often targeted the monument, claiming "satanic" meanings.
- The monument was completely demolished due to safety concerns, state officials said.
A Georgia monument that was shrouded in mystery was demolished after being partially destroyed in an explosion on Wednesday morning, according to authorities.
The monument, known as the Georgia Guidestones, was erected in 1979 in Elberton County, Georgia. Known as "America's Stonehenge" for its mysterious origins and prophetic etchings, the structure later became the target of vandals and conspiracy theorists, who believed it had satanic roots.
A preliminary investigation revealed that "unknown individuals detonated an explosive device" around 4 a.m. Wednesday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.
Surveillance footage posted by the agency on Twitter showed a silver sedan leaving the site shortly after the explosion.
—GA Bureau of Investigation (@GBI_GA) July 6, 2022
No one was injured, but the rest of the structure was destroyed for safety reasons, the department said.
A video posted by one Twitter user appears to show an excavator knocking down the rest of the slabs.
—Swani Files (@SwaniFiles) July 6, 2022
Who exactly paid for the work and organized its construction remains a mystery, according to Smithsonian Magazine.
One man, Wyatt Martin, claimed in a 2013 interview with The New York Times to know the identity of the individual who commissioned the monument but refused to provide more details.
"I made an oath to that man, and I can't break that," he told the newspaper.
The structure is made up of five granite slabs with a capstone laid on top. Engraved into a few of the slabs are inscriptions in eight modern languages and four dead ones, according to Smithsonian.
The Georgia Department of Economic Development describes the inscription as "a 10-part message espousing the conservation of mankind and future generations in 12 languages." It also serves as an "astronomical calendar," the department writes.
Some of the messages say to "maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature" and "unite humanity with a living new language."
These inscriptions have led some conspiracy theorists to believe that the monument is proof of an elite plot to depopulate the world.
Alex Jones, the far-right conspiracy theorist and host of Info Wars, claimed that the structure was a "calling for forced depopulation of the planet" in a video that has since been taken off his website.
As part of her campaign for governor of Georgia, Republican candidate Kandiss Taylor recently promised to "demolish" the Georgia Guidestones which she suggested in a tweet is connected to the "Satanic Regime."
In her campaign video, Taylor narrates that a "new world order" is here over shots of the slab's inscriptions.
She later tweeted on Wednesday that "God is God all by Himself. He can do ANYTHING He wants to do. That includes striking down Satanic Guidestones."
The monument was also previously vandalized several times. In one case, vandals spray-painted the stones with messages like "Jesus will beat u satanist," according to Wired magazine.
Not everyone may be celebrating the destruction of the monument, which has also been called America's Stonehenge.
In an interview with The Times, Matt Clamp, a local businessman who helped his father engrave the stones, said he was "heartbroken" by the destruction and hopes that it can be rebuilt if allowed.
"People were always coming up with some kind of crazy whackadoodle story about them," he said in the interview. | https://www.insider.com/georgia-guidestones-americas-stonehenge-monument-destroyed-in-mysterious-explosion-2022-7 | 2022-07-07T02:43:50Z | https://www.insider.com/georgia-guidestones-americas-stonehenge-monument-destroyed-in-mysterious-explosion-2022-7 | false | 1 |
Sebastian Kalinowski (15) died of an infection caused by multiple rib fractures
A mother accused of torturing her son to death alongside her partner sobbed as she told a court she “should have died instead of him”.
Sebastian Kalinowski died last August of an infection caused by “untreated complications of multiple rib fractures”, which prosecutors say came after weeks of “cruel assaults and abuse” at the hands of his mother and stepfather.
Jurors at Leeds Crown Court have heard the 15-year-old boy was beaten with a bed slat, whipped with an extension cable and forced to perform “humiliating” exercise drills in what prosecutors say amounted to a campaign of “torture”.
At the time of his death, Sebastian had been in the UK for less than a year after moving from Poland to live with his mother Agnieszka Kalinowska (36) and her partner Andrzej Latoszewski.
Prosecutors say the abuse by the couple was captured on CCTV cameras they had installed to “monitor Sebastian remotely” at their house in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
Jurors have heard the footage, seized from the house after Sebastian’s death, shows him “being attacked, principally and most severely by Latoszewski but with his mother being involved at various times”.
The prosecution’s case is that both defendants are guilty of murder because “both of them acted together to inflict the fatal injuries on Sebastian as a course of conduct”. Ms Kalinowska told the court she was “petrified and scared” of Latoszewski, and that it was a “controlling relationship”.
Ms Kalinowska and Latoszewski both deny murdering Sebastian. Latoszewski (36) admitted manslaughter on the second day of the trial, while both defendants pleaded guilty to child cruelty a day later. Ms Kalinowska also denies causing or allowing the death of a child.
Speaking through a Polish interpreter, Ms Kalinowska told the court she admitted being cruel to Sebastian, but had not pleaded guilty to manslaughter because she did not cause any of his rib injuries.
Asked by her barrister Leonard Smith QC why she was cruel to Sebastian, Ms Kalinowska said: “Because I listened to Andrzej’s words.”
Asked why she watched her partner “inflict the most savage beatings on your own son” without intervening, she replied: “Because I was petrified and scared.”
Asked whose decision it was to start punishing Sebastian, she said: “Andrzej’s, because he was the head of the house and he was deciding everything.”
The trial continues. | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/britain/i-should-have-died-instead-says-mother-accused-of-torturing-son-to-death-41820023.html | 2022-07-07T02:44:08Z | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/britain/i-should-have-died-instead-says-mother-accused-of-torturing-son-to-death-41820023.html | true | 10 |

A federal judge has sentenced Jerry Harris, a former star of the Netflix documentary series "Cheer," to 12 years in prison for coercing teenage boys to send him obscene photos and videos of themselves and soliciting sex from minors at cheerleading competitions.
U.S. District Judge Manish Shah also ordered on Wednesday that the sentence be followed by eight years of court-supervised release. Shah told the 22-year-old Naperville man to consider the sentence an "expression of the seriousness of your crimes, tempered with some hope that all is not lost for you or for your victims."
Harris pleaded guilty earlier this year.
Sarah Klein, an attorney for two of the victims, issued a statement saying Harris’ guilt was “firmly established.”

West Monroe gets LDWF grant to improve Ouachita riverfront, build fishing pier
The City of West Monroe has received notification it has received a grant from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries for the construction of a public fishing pier on the Ouachita River.
The grant will pay for a portion of the construction of a floating fishing pier that can be accessed by the public on property owned by the City of West Monroe along the Ouachita River in downtown West Monroe.
Public access to the Ouachita River was one of the top priorities identified in the Downtown West Monroe Streetscape Master Plan completed in 2020. The plan was based on public feedback and input.
Hamilton House Inn:Historic West Monroe bed and breakfast offers Southern charm, comfort
“We look forward to working with the La. Department of Wildlife and Fisheries on this project,” said West Monroe Mayor Staci Mitchell in a news release. “The fishing pier will be a wonderful addition to downtown West Monroe and will provide the public with much-desired access to the Ouachita River, one of our area’s greatest natural resources.”
Other plans for the property include a boat slip that will be put into place later this summer. Future plans include an amphitheater and floating stage.
The City of West Monroe has partnered with Downtown West Monroe Revitalization Group to raise private funding for some of these projects through the “Picture This: Our Time is Now” capital campaign.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — At least 600 inmates escaped in a jailbreak in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, officials said Wednesday, blaming the attack on Islamic extremist rebels.
Over 300 escapees have either been recaptured or turned themselves in at police stations, authorities said.
The “very determined” rebels attacked the Kuje maximum prison in Abuja on Tuesday night with “very high-grade explosives,” killing one guard on duty, according to Shuaib Belgore, permanent secretary of Nigeria’s Ministry of Interior.
Explosions and gunfire were heard at about 10 p.m. in the Kuje area when the attackers arrived and forced their way into the prison through a hole created by the blasts.
The Islamic extremist rebels who attacked the prison have waged an insurgency in the country’s northeast for over a decade. Their attack on the detention facility freed many of their members who are inmates, prison officials said.
“We understand they are Boko Haram. They came specifically for their co-conspirators,” said Belgore.
The Kuje maximum security prison had nearly 1,000 inmates including 64 suspects of the Boko Haram extremist group all of whom have escaped, said Maj Gen Bashir Salihi Magashi, Nigeria’s Minister of Defense.
He told reporters that security officials on the ground did “their best” to prevent the jailbreak. “We are trying to see what we can do to ensure that all escapees are brought back,” he said.
As of Wednesday morning, bullet shells lay scattered around the prison premises while helicopters hovered over the Kuje area as security agents combed nearby bushes in search of escapees.
Some recaptured inmates lay on the ground by the prison entrance near the bodies of some who died in the attack. Authorities did not specify the number of deaths.
The Abuja jailbreak occurred around the same time that gunmen launched a daring attack on an advance security convoy preparing for the visit of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari in the northwest Katsina state. Those attackers “opened fire on the convoy from ambush positions but were repelled by the military,” a presidential spokesman said.
Nigeria’s jihadi rebels and other armed groups have carried out several jailbreaks in the country’s northeast in recent years, but this is the first in the capital city in recent years.
In 2021 more than 2,500 inmates were freed in three jailbreaks. At least 4,307 inmates have escaped from Nigeria’s prisons since 2017, Lagos-based online newspaper TheCable reported this month, based on compiled media reports.
Most of Nigeria’s recent jailbreaks seem unconnected although the attacks are carried out in a similar manner using explosives, according to security analysts. A good number of those who have escaped in such attacks were awaiting trial. Nigerian prisons hold 70,000 inmates but only about 20,000, or 27%, have been convicted, according to government data.
Nigeria’s extremist insurgency, carried out by Boko Haram and an offshoot known as the Islamic State West Africa Province, is blamed for violence that has caused the deaths of more than 35,000 people and displaced more than 2 million people, according to the U.N. The prolonged instability, hunger and lack of health services caused by the insurgency have indirectly caused the deaths of more than 300,000 additional people, says the U.N.
The extremists’ violence is the most serious security challenge in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country with 206 million people, which also is battling violence in the northwest area by rebellious herdsmen and a separatist movement in the country’s south. | https://wgnradio.com/news/international/jihadis-attack-jail-in-nigerias-capital-600-inmates-escape/ | 2022-07-07T02:58:35Z | https://wgnradio.com/news/international/jihadis-attack-jail-in-nigerias-capital-600-inmates-escape/ | false | 37 |
Sunlife Organics juice bar, D’Amores Famous Pizza and the Thaia Restaurant in Point Dume Plaza were broken into and vandalized. Sunlife Organics Assistant General Manager Marcus McDonald said the accident occurred at around 6:45 a.m.
“The front door got completely shattered and they came in and went through everything,” McDonald said. “They took our old safe and all of the cash off our tip wall.”
McDonald said he received a message from the general manager saying the property manager had told them about the incident. McDonald said the incident was captured on security camera and two suspects, wearing all black, were seen breaking in and taking the safe, register and tip money.
Sunlife Organics Juice Bar was the only place that was still operating after the incident and the employees taped a sign that reads, “Watch your step broken glass. We are looking into getting this cleaning up. Thank you for your patience,” to inform customers about the broken glass.
McDonald said when situations like this happen they have safety protocols such as when the shooting occurred at the Speedway Gas station on June 10, they locked the doors and hid to safety.
D’amores Famous Pizza was also vandalized and the door had been covered with two patio chairs. The restaurant was closed for the day.
The Thaia Restaurant was also broken into and the side door glass door was shattered. The door has been covered with ply wood. The restaurant chef said he arrived around 8 a.m. and saw the damage. It was unsure what was taken from the restaurant.
The Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriffs Station had been notified and the security cameras were provided for evidence.

The day after qualifying against Boca Juniors, for Libertadores, Corinthians remembered the match on their social networks. The club published the traditional behind-the-scenes video, which reports details of the game that television did not show.
The material reports the reactions of Corinthians employees in the victory, in addition to exposing the atmosphere in the locker rooms after the final whistle. The video was not made available by the club, but can be watched on the SCCP Universe app – click here to download.
The “pre-game”
The first images of the internal part of Bombonera report a lot of concentration on the part of Corinthians players. Seriousness took over the faces of the majority, who focused on physical preparation for the meeting.
On the way up to the pitch, goalkeeper Cássio led the line of Corinthians players. As was to be expected, shirt 12, as well as the rest of the athletes, was received with many boos from the home crowd, who were looking for ways to intimidate Vítor Pereira’s team.
At the end of the warm-up, the tense atmosphere became a moment of encouragement on the part of Corinthians players. Captain Cássio was the first to speak, followed by coach Vítor Pereira.
“You have to trust, it’s a big game, a cool game, a historic game. If you let your guard down, they’ll run us over. If we play like Corinthians, it’s going to be f*ck to beat us”, motivated Cássio.
“Confident. Trust each other. The opportunity is today, not tomorrow, from the first second of the game. I want to see Corinthians from the first minute. Corinthians. You know the spirit of the club”, said Vítor Pereira.
The reactions!
The video shows all the euphoria in the locker room after Gil converted the last penalty. Defender João Victor, along with other club employees, celebrated with shouts and effusive hugs when Gil puffs up goalkeeper Rossi’s nets.
When players who were on the field go down to the locker room, the euphoria increases even more. Rafael Ramos, Robson Bambu, Cantillo, Mantuan and Felipe Augusto shout towards the camera and quickly enter the locker room. But the one who really drew attention for his happiness was coach Vítor Pereira.
“That’s Corinthians! Come on, damn*! That’s Corinthians!”, celebrated the captain, followed by a hug from the assistant Fernando Lázaro, who said he knew that the game would not be easy.
The end of the celebration begins with speeches by President Duilio Monteiro Alves and Captain Cássio. Both celebrated the victory, but, in the case of the goalkeeper, there was still a request for the team not to settle.
“Ten years with the club. To get a victory like this, with our face, for us, that is priceless. Thank you very much for everything you have done here today”, thanked President Duilio.
“That’s the spirit. Everyone’s emotion at Gil’s goal, when we qualified, that’s the spirit. But it’s just a phase. We have to celebrate, be happy, but don’t forget that we have other battles. settle down, we have a long way to go. But we are united and with the same objective”, stressed the archer.
The closing was with the coach Vítor Pereira. The previous shouting, in the enthusiasm of the classification, gave way to a calmer tone, praising the players for the match in question.
“We had a great spirit. Thanking God because he helps those who work. Humble, together, suffering, working, that was the spirit I saw today. And that makes us from the commission feel part of a family. And I feel that here inside we have a family”, concluded the coach.

Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, has been sentenced to three years probation and a year in home detention after failing to register as a sex offender in Los Angeles, multiple outlets report.
According to CBS News, Petty, 44, was sentenced on Wednesday after pleading guilty to the federal charge last year.
Per the US Attorney’s Office, he was also ordered to pay a $55,000 fine.
As Page Six previously reported, Petty was arrested in March 2020 after he was ordered to register as a sex offender in California in November 2019 and failed to do so.
Prior to striking up a romance with Minaj, 39, he was convicted of attempting to rape a 16-year-old girl in 1994. He was required by law to register as a sex offender in New York.
However, Petty moved out of the state in October 2019 after marrying Minaj – whom he shares a son with – that same year.
In a September 2021 appearance on “The Real,” Jennifer Hough – who was the 16-year-old girl Petty allegedly raped – spoke out about the alleged 1994 incident.
Hough claimed Petty approached her at a bus stop, pulled a knife on her and led her to a house, where the alleged incident took place.
“I knew what he wanted,” Hough alleged. “He pushed me down on the bed, we wrestled for my clothes.”
After allegedly escaping and making her way back to school, Hough told her side of what happened to security and Petty was arrested that day.
Minaj has stuck by Petty’s side and defended him on various occasions.
Addressing the incident via Instagram in 2018, Minaj wrote, “He was 15, she was 16 … in a relationship. But go awf, [sic] internet, y’all can’t run my life. y’all can’t even run y’all own life.” | https://pagesix.com/2022/07/06/nicki-minajs-husband-kenneth-petty-failed-to-register-as-sex-offender/ | 2022-07-07T03:08:09Z | https://pagesix.com/2022/07/06/nicki-minajs-husband-kenneth-petty-failed-to-register-as-sex-offender/ | true | 1 |
Customers Love That This 'Comfortable and Versatile' Summer Dress Has Pockets, and It's on Sale for $26
A closet without a little black dress is like going to the beach without a swimsuit, and nobody wants that. Luckily, we found a cute LBD at Amazon that's lightweight and sleeveless making it great for summer — and it has pockets. The Longyuan Summer Dress is available in 37 colors, and they're all on sale, which means now's the time to stock up.
It's made with super soft, stretchy fabric and an elastic waistband that gives it some shape. With a scoop neckline and racerback design, you can wear practically any bra underneath without having to worry about straps showing. It's a great option to wear by itself or you can dress it up with jewelry and a nice jacket.
Buy It! Longyuan Summer Dress in Black, $25.40 (orig. $40.99); amazon.com
The dress has more than 16,900 five-star ratings and one reviewer described it as a "comfy summer dress" and said they received "tons of compliments" on it. Another shopper who wore it for several occasions said it's "comfortable and versatile" and can be styled with sandals or heels.
Reviewers who own several colors of the dress say it washes well without fading, but they advise letting it air dry to keep the material soft and avoid shrinking. You should also wash it with similar colors the first time, in case any of the color transfers.
If you already have plenty of black dresses then you might want to consider another shade to give yourself more variety. The bright sky blue dress is a great pick for summer while the burgundy option might be more fitting for fall. Either way, they're completely opaque unless you choose white, then you'll want to make sure to wear beige undergarments since it's slightly see-through.
Don't wait until you're wishing you had a lightweight summer dress on hand to wear to a barbeque or the beach. Order one (or two) of these dresses while they're on sale and they can arrive in as little as one day with a Prime membership.

(The Hill) – An online petition that calls for the removal of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has attracted over one million signatures.
The petition, titled “Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas,” was created on the public advocacy organization website MoveOn in May.
The petition description cited Thomas’s vote to overturn Roe v. Wade as reasoning for his removal.
“Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas—who sided with the majority on overturning Roe—made it clear what’s next: to overturn high court rulings that establish gay rights and contraception rights,” the petition read.
The description also mentioned Thomas’s wife, Ginni Thomas, and her role in encouraging members of the Trump administration to continue to challenge the 2020 election results.
The Supreme Court earlier this year rejected a request by former President Trump to prevent the release of documents related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Thomas was the only Justice to dissent on the matter.
“He has shown he cannot be an impartial justice and is more concerned with covering up his wife’s coup attempts than the health of the Supreme Court.”
“He must resign — or Congress must immediately investigate and impeach,” the petition concluded.
The petition garnered over 1.1 million signatures and urges Congress to either investigate or impeach Thomas for his actions.
It follows a similar one created by George Washington University students last week in an effort to remove Thomas from his teaching position with the Washington, D.C., university.
The student-led petition came after the high court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a landmark 1973 ruling that determined a woman’s right to abortion was constitutional.
In a school-wide letter, GWU officials said they don’t have plans to remove Thomas as an adjunct instructor in their law school, stating that he did not violate the school’s policy on academic freedom.
“Just as we affirm our commitment to academic freedom, we affirm the right of all members of our community to voice their opinions and contribute to the critical discussion that is foundational to our academic mission,” school officials wrote in their letter. | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/petition-calling-for-clarence-thomas-removal-from-supreme-court-gets-1m-signatures/ | 2022-07-07T03:10:06Z | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/petition-calling-for-clarence-thomas-removal-from-supreme-court-gets-1m-signatures/ | true | 27 |

Politics
Two factors influencing the timing of elections
Prime Minister Kiriacos Mitsutakis returned from the NATO summit last week and, as he argued, international trends will decisively determine whether elections take place in spring 2023 or as early as September. We are aware that there is a possibility.
One factor that may have an impact is the continued economic downturn caused by the war in Ukraine. Government officials have cautiously hinted that the potential for a harsh winter, where high inflation could continue and fuel shortages could continue, could push the election calendar significantly forward. The reason is that a newly appointed government, freed from the long toxic pre-election politics, will be better deployed to address these issues.
The second factor is the decision of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who faces presidential and parliamentary elections in 2023. Will he listen to the wise advice of US President Joe Biden to avoid tensions in the Aegean? Or is his sometimes incendiary rhetoric leading to real escalation?
In any case, since Greece is facing double elections due to the electoral law, it guarantees that no party will have a majority in the next parliament. , Has to face a crisis with Turkey.
The second election is held under a different election law, which makes it easier for a one-party government, but it will never be given unless the winner finishes before the next election. In the case of the second hung parliament, forming a coalition government is not easy.
The Greek delegation at the NATO summit was well aware of the unfortunate reality. Moscow and Kieu are highly unlikely to compromise and agree to a ceasefire. And the United States seems eager to see the hostility end soon.
In a very likely case, Russian President Vladimir Putin decides to put energy pressure on Europe, and household and business costs will continue to rise.
And while Erdogan still refuses to meet Mitsutakis, he hints that he is not interested in escalation. “In politics, yesterday was yesterday, today is today,” Turkey’s president told NBC News after meeting with Biden, who has spoken widely in the past.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Baker Mayfield’s wild four-year ride in Cleveland is over.
The No. 1 overall pick in 2018, Mayfield was traded Wednesday by the Browns, who moved on from the divisive quarterback months ago and finally sent him to the Carolina Panthers for a future draft pick.
Mayfield, who was pushed out of his starting job amid the Browns’ pursuit of Deshaun Watson, is going to Carolina for a conditional draft pick in 2024 or 2025.
The Browns are paying $10.5 million of Mayfield’s $18.8 million contract for next season, two people familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The Panthers will pay $4.8 million and Mayfield will take a $3.5 million pay cut, said the people, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the trade can’t be finalized until Mayfield passes a physical.
Mayfield can earn back some of the money through incentives. Also, if he plays 70% of Carolina’s snaps next season, the pick the Browns are receiving will be a fourth-rounder in 2024.
The trade was announced by both the Browns and Panthers, who coincidentally will meet in next season’s opener in Charlotte, a matchup spiced up by Mayfield switching teams.
Mayfield’s time with the Browns effectively ended in March when the team traded three first-round selections and six overall to the Houston Texans for Watson, who is facing a possible NFL suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
Watson has been accused of sexual misconduct by two dozen massage therapists in Texas. The league’s disciplinary officer is expected to rule on Watson before the Browns open training camp later this month.
Mayfield, who played most of last season with a left shoulder injury, felt betrayed by Cleveland’s move for Watson, demanded a trade and then had to wait until the Browns found a team both interested in him and willing to take on his salary.
Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam thanked Mayfield for his contributions.
“From the moment he was drafted, he gave his all for this organization and this city,” they said. “With his fierce competitive spirit, he excited the fanbase and accomplished things that no player at his position had done in Cleveland for a very long time. He also made a difference in the community, whether it was hosting events at the Boys and Girls Club, honoring our troops, supporting the Special Olympics as well as countless other charitable endeavors.”
The 27-year-old will compete for Carolina’s starting QB job with Sam Darnold, who was taken two picks after Mayfield in 2018.
The Panthers, who have not made the playoffs since 2017, have been searching for stability at the quarterback position ever since head coach Matt Rhule was hired in 2020. They also took a run at Watson before he chose Cleveland.
Mayfield’s four years with the Browns included fewer memorable moments than distracting ones as he couldn’t end the team’s long search for a franchise QB.
The stint was full of highs and lows, coaching changes, too much drama and not nearly enough wins.
Former Browns general manager John Dorsey was enamored with Mayfield’s talent and swayed by his swagger, choosing the Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma first despite other options, including Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.
Mayfield began his rookie season as Tyrod Taylor’s backup before coming off the bench in Week 3 and rallying the Browns to their first win in 635 days, a 21-17 victory over the New York Jets on national TV.
Mayfield wound up passing for 3,725 yards and throwing 27 touchdown passes as a rookie, breaking the NFL record for a first-year quarterback. For the first time in years, there was genuine hope for a floundering franchise that has had 32 starting QBs since 1999.
However, Mayfield’s second season was a major setback. He threw nearly as many interceptions (21) as touchdowns (22) and seemed to be on a different page of the playbook than star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Cleveland went 6-10 and fired coach Freddie Kitchens.
Mayfield also regularly squared off with commentators criticizing his play and sparred with local reporters. His immaturity showed particularly on social media, where he often posted rebukes to detractors.
The 2020 season signaled a turnaround as Mayfield led the Browns back to relevance with their first postseason appearance since 2003. He thrived in first-year coach Kevin Stefanski’s offense, throwing 20 TD passes and just three interceptions in his last 12 games.
Mayfield directed a playoff win — the Browns’ first since 1994 — over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 10, 2021, and came within minutes of getting Cleveland to the AFC Championship a week later before losing at Kansas City.
The resurgence triggered Super Bowl predictions for the Browns in the 2021-22 season and speculation they would sign Mayfield to a long-term contract.
Neither came close to happening.
After dropping the hyped season opener to the Chiefs, the game’s outcome decided when Mayfield threw a late interception, he suffered a torn left shoulder labrum the following week while trying to make a tackle.
The injury worsened when he was sacked by Arizona’s J.J. Watt a few weeks later, and Mayfield never found his rhythm the rest of the season. Beckham forced his way off the roster and the Browns stumbled to a 8-9 finish and missed the playoffs.
Mayfield also raised eyebrows by publicly questioning Stefanski’s play-calling.
Mayfield sat out the finale and had surgery soon after. Browns general manager Andrew Berry said he expected Mayfield to bounce back as the team’s starter in 2022, but everything changed with the pursuit of Watson.
In recent weeks, as Watson’s legal entanglement dragged on, there had been speculation the Browns could turn to Mayfield. But the quarterback recently said he didn’t think a reconciliation was possible.
They were done with him long ago.

A cyclist suffered non-life-threatening injuries after being hit and nearly run over by a commercial truck that appeared to run a red light on Tuesday.
A live streaming video facing the intersection of Pandora and Store streets captured the incident.
Minutes before noon, a cyclist is seen awaiting their light at the northwest corner of the intersection. After the light turns red for southbound drivers on Store Street, a white sedan turns right onto Pandora Street and is followed by the commercial truck. The intersection has a posted sign advising drivers not to turn right on a red light.
As the cyclist started to proceed south in the bike lane, they were hit by the turning truck and appeared to get caught near the vehicle’s rear passenger side wheels as they fall to the ground.
“Once they realized the danger they were in, they took immediate action which takes them out of the path of the truck’s tires and likely saved their life,” Victoria police spokesperson Bowen Osoko said in an email to Black Press Media.
Pedestrians and other cyclists then rush to the hit biker’s aid as the truck stops. Osoko said the driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with officers.
While the pedestrian and cyclist traffic lights aren’t visible in the video, the cyclist hit, other bikers and another pedestrian started to enter the intersection moments after the light turns red for Store Street drivers.
Police are investigating the incident and said they can’t speak to fault or any tickets at this time.

Elector’s right of referendum
The right to vote, essential to a well-functioning democracy, is the most enshrined right in the Constitution and is protected by five separate amendments. This fundamental right to all Americans and push back against attacks that attempt to limit the people’s access to the ballot box.
Five members of the Chesterfield Township Board voted to approve the issue and sell $13.75 million in general obligation bonds pursuant to Act 34, Public Acts of Michigan 2001 as amended.
The source of the payment of the bonds the principal $13.75 million and with interest will total over $21 million. Payable from the funds available, including property taxes levied.
The intent to construct an east-west sewer on 26 Mile Road and the renovation of the DeMuynck pump station on Jefferson Avenue.
The current residents of Chesterfield will not benefit from the construction of the east-west sewer on 26 Mile Road, developers will. The current Chesterfield resident will see an increase in their water and sewer rates, the developers will not.
The DeMuynck pump station on Jefferson processes/pumps stormwater created by the runoff from impervious surfaces: roofs, driveways, roads. The stormwater runoff from Macomb County roads is pumped into the Meldrum Drain by the DeMuynck pump station and Macomb County is responsible for not only the condition of the roads, is also responsible to control the stormwater runoff. The county assumes no responsibility for any of the repairs. Residents check your tax bill for county operating; it is substantial. The burden of payment will be increased taxes.
Chesterfield Township elector’s right of referendum process: Posting/petition has been hindered by the lack of transparency and the inability of Chesterfield’s clerk’s department to define and approve petition format and language to start petition circulation for Chesterfield Township registered voter’s signature.
The clerk should have been prepared with a board approved administrative procedure order that defined the requirements for the “right of referendum” prior to the June 8, 2022, posting. Chesterfield electors are only given 45 days after publication to respond with a petition to stop the bond issue and put it on a ballot for the residents by their vote and not just five members of the board.

It’s up to us to reform the Supreme Court
This is a scary moment. The Supreme Court just dismantled abortion rights across America. As a result, 26 states could outlaw abortion, including 13 that have passed “trigger” laws to take effect immediately after the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.
This news should set off alarm bells for all Americans. Our fundamental freedoms are coming under attack by a hyper-partisan supermajority on the court. And this could just be the beginning. But there’s a way to fight back, which is why I’m urging Congress to pass the Judiciary Act of 2021.
The Judiciary Act would rebalance the Supreme Court by adding four new seats, giving us 13 justices in total. It’s just what we need to move away from extremely partisan rulings and restore the legitimacy of the court — and it’s been done before. In fact, Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times already in our nation’s history.
A recent poll showed that the majority of Americans support expanding the court again now.
It’s past time for Congress to get on board with this crucial bill.

Roe v. Wade reversed
The disinformation started immediately.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated that the Supreme Court was inconsistent when it knocked down New York’s gun law, while sending abortion decisions back to the states.
New York’s gun law violated a specific right granted in the Constitution — to keep and bear arms. Roe v. Wade invented a right to privacy. Reversing Roe reverted decision-making to the states, per the 10th Amendment. Thus, the court was being consistent — ruling on a federal issue as to gun rights while remanding to the states jurisdiction as to abortion.
Leaders like Pelosi stoke unrest when they spread lies that make citizens think that their rights have been violated.
Abortion has not been declared illegal by the Supreme Court. It may be so by each state. Or not.
Her body. Her choice.
Apparently, women are free of accountability.
She chooses to have sex. She gets pregnant. She can unilaterally choose an abortion?
What about the being inside her, that may be feeling sensations when it is sucked from the womb, that nevertheless should have the right to life once its parents have started the process.
What about the father, whose child is killed for the convenience of the mother, even though she knew going in the physical ramifications of pregnancy?
If a woman is raped, or her life is in jeopardy (not just “inconvenienced”) by a pregnancy, she should be able to end it. Otherwise, her body, her choice, and she has to live with the results. That’s what strong, independent, accountable, responsible adults do.

Put SMART millage on the ballot
Cindy Berry, clerk of Chesterfield Township: The voting error by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners that may keep the SMART millage off the ballot for Macomb County voters is not our fault. Put the SMART millage on the November ballot for the Chesterfield voters to decide. It’s a yes or no question.
The Anchor Bay School District will also have a millage issue on the ballot in November. That’s a yes or no question also.
Forty-year high inflation taxpayers are watching their wallets and purses.

Be a part of history
On July 24, 2021, an EF-1 tornado touched down early Saturday evening, leaving a line of destruction across Armada. Historical buildings were damaged or destroyed, picturesque trees were toppled or wholly uprooted and life in Armada came to a standstill. In its aftermath Armada, along with our neighboring communities, came together to clean up the devastation in its wake and begin the process of rebuilding.
As part of our community’s observance of the EF-1 tornado which devastated Armada one year ago, the Armada Area Historical Society is seeking to collect pictures from residents in order to document this heartbreaking chapter in our history.
Gather your photos, print them off your phone, get them from your neighbors or you mother and bring them to us, so that we may catalogue and save them for posterity on the first anniversary of this tragic event.
This collection will be taking place on Sunday, July 24, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at We the People, located at 23010 E. Main St. in Armada.
If there are any questions related to this event, please feel free to contact Pat Gakstatter from the AAHS at 586-255-2264 or via email at ArmadaHistorical@yahoo.com.

Aspiring firefighter relates to story
This letter to the editor is in response to the article titled “Firefighter looks back on family’s 100 years of service,” that was published in the June 15, 2022, edition of The Voice.
My name is Wesley Bennatts. I am a Life Scout with Troop 245. I am working on my communication merit badge. One of the requirements for this merit badge is to email an editor of a local newspaper and share information on a subject of my choice.
Recently, there was an article about a Memphis firefighter, Bill Sawyer. I have a lot in common with Bill because my dad is also on the Memphis Fire Department. He has been on the department for 17 years.
When I’m 18, I want to become a full-time firefighter.
Thank you for your time.

Bill would protect rights of American people
When Donald Trump was in office, he and Mitch McConnell made three lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court. McConnell went so far as to defy Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish — that the next president appoint her replacement — by packing the court with Amy Coney Barrett just eight days before the 2020 election.
The result? Today’s Supreme Court has been taken over by a hyper-partisan supermajority that just dismantled abortion care in America.
But there’s something we can do. The Judiciary Act of 2021 would add four seats to the Supreme Court bench — restoring balance to the court. It’s the solution we need to move away from the extremely partisan rulings that now threaten our fundamental freedoms. Recent polling showed that the majority of voters support expanding the court.
Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times already in our nation’s history. It’s time to do it again. I’m urging our representatives to back this important bill now so we know they want to protect the rights of the American people. The stakes are too high to stay quiet on this important issue.

Active shooter training for students also needed
This letter to the editor is in response to the story titled “School district starts summer of security upgrades” that was published in the June 22, 2022, edition of The Voice.
My name is Zach, a ninth-grader from Memphis High School.
I, for one, am happy that the school got the security grant. I also like that they will do a new buzzer system and reinforce the doors (considering the old one broke with daily use).
I am glad they did an active shooter training for the teachers.
I think that they should do an active shooter course for the kids to experience and learn how to stop and slow the intruder till the police get there, and mentally prepare us for the scenario. But only if they are willing, while some might not want to endure such a traumatic training.

Equipment development and Delphi verification in preparation for GMP audits by United Arab Emirates cosmetics contract manufacturers
The establishment of ISO 22716 GMP guidelines was an important milestone in the development of global standards for the safety of cosmetic and personal care products. In particular, this standard focuses on technical, human and administrative factors that can affect the quality of cosmetics. Against this background, the current research aims to address a national consensus on the safety of cosmetics and personal care products by developing equipment to prepare for audits by cosmetics contract manufacturers. is. Similar GMP questionnaires have been shown to help prepare for audits14, and many cosmetic manufacturers have already adopted such equipment. Nevertheless, so far no studies have investigated the use, content, and validity of these GMP questionnaires.
Current findings show that the developed audit preparation measures have reasonably good content validity. Almost all high quality items (47; 90% of 52) were rated as essential by all panel experts. The remaining five items did not meet the predefined criteria of at least 75% match. Based on these findings, five items were determined to be unrelated to the equipment and were excluded. The Delphi method usually proposes a new Delphi Questionnaire round at this point to carry out an additional assessment of consensus between experts19, but this study found that the consensus level was less than 75%. In some cases, we have stipulated the criteria that certain items will be removed from. instrument. Therefore, no further Delphi survey rounds were run.
The first draft audit of the brainstorming session received some criticism from members of the Scientific Committee. Specifically, seven experts said that some questions were too detailed, while others felt that the yes / no format provided insufficient information. Therefore, these experts recommended using free-form questions. Based on this feedback, the text field at the end of each section was provided to the final audit tool, allowing experts to clarify their answers in the Delphi round. However, in the early stages of the investigation, the case company determined that convenience in completing the audit preparation measures was a top priority, so the “yes / no” question was primarily used in its development.
Creating a GMP questionnaire requires a complete knowledge base29. However, the expert panel consulted in the Delphi round was relatively small (n = 50). Despite their small size, each panel member has experience in both GMP and the cosmetics industry, giving them a deep perspective on the context of their research. In addition, the inclusion of experts from authorities and universities ensured the diversity of the panel. Finally, the Delphi Questionnaire Round received a very good response rate of 71.4%. Previous studies included a panel of 4 to 3000 experts in the Delphi round17, while some studies using the Delphi method included a relatively small panel of experts. 18,21.
The building and equipment section of the audit equipment ensures that the place where the product is manufactured and stored does not interfere with the quality of the cosmetics. The Building and Equipment section describes the principles of plant design and construction. This sets the hygienic conditions that manufacturers need to develop and store cosmetics30. Through these principles, consumers can enjoy products that have been properly stored, properly cleaned, and protected from toxic surfaces and the environment. At the same time, this section has principles that guide the environment in which workers work. In addition, they emphasize adequate water supply, proper sewage treatment, toilet facilities, hand washing facilities, and debris removal. In particular, this section ensures that consumers use cosmetics manufactured under hygienic conditions.
The equipment section of audit equipment contains principles that guide the maintenance of equipment used in the manufacture, storage and distribution of cosmetics. To be precise, the principles guide how manufacturers and distributors need to handle all types of equipment in relation to cosmetic contamination. Cosmetics emphasize that products need to be kept clean so that they are not contaminated during manufacturing, storage and distribution30. Therefore, consumers use products that are free of toxins and impurities from the equipment they use.
The personnel section of the audit equipment involves all individuals who handle cosmetics at any level of manufacturing or distribution. This section stipulates that cosmetic manufacturers need to implement guidelines and programs to ensure disease management, cleanliness of all workers, proper education and training, and proper supervision30. By doing so, consumers have access to products manufactured with hygiene, expertise and keen observation. Therefore, GMP’s HR department is essential to ensure that people involved in manufacturing, storage and distribution respect the health and safety of consumers.
There are many provisions in the Raw Materials section of the audit instrument. First, raw materials need to be inspected and handled in a way that ensures cleanliness31. This measure enhances the clean start during the manufacturing process. Second, the raw materials do not have to contain microorganisms that cause human disease31. These guidelines help protect consumers from the use of harmful cosmetics. Third, materials containing susceptible components such as aflatoxin must comply with drug administration policies. This guideline protects consumers from using products that contain high levels of toxic chemicals. The final guideline is that the raw materials should be stored in a storage facility that protects them from contamination31. The guidelines guarantee the use of clean raw materials for manufacturing. All policies ensure that raw materials are safe end products for consumer organizations.
The manufacturing department has provisions that guide the conditions under which a company manufactures cosmetics. This section emphasizes proper time, temperature, pH, and acidification 32. Section guidelines ensure that the manufacturing process for each product follows the recommended conditions. Consumers enjoy products manufactured using the right conditions.
The laboratory management section tests the chemicals involved in the manufacture of cosmetics and checks the level of each chemical in the ingredients. With that in mind, laboratory management guidelines require component research, sampling, retesting as needed, and thorough results analysis33. The guidelines ensure that consumers use products that have been scientifically proven to be safe for human use.
The documentation section guarantees traceability of all development, manufacturing, testing, and distribution activities34. The guidelines in this section make it convenient for companies to keep track of their development-to-sales journey whenever consumers need to ask questions about the manufacture of a product.
The packaging and labeling sections ensure that the final product is protected from contamination and mixing31. The main purpose of this section is to prevent consumers from using cosmetics that contain toxins or are confused due to poor packaging and incorrect labeling.
The Complaints section requires companies to record and review each complaint35. Complaints urge companies to recall or re-strategy the production of related cosmetics. This section gives consumers a say to ensure that manufacturers meet their quality requirements.
Audit preparation measures such as those developed here have been shown to provide considerable support during the audit process of contract manufacturers. The current investigation is continued by investigating to what extent the completed audit preparation measures reflect the reality being audited. To achieve this, the answers provided by the company are compared to the actual situation observed during the audit. This comparison provides valuable information on the applicability and practicality of ready-to-use equipment that can be integrated into future research. In addition, collecting feedback from contract manufacturers regarding the equipment completion process provides important information about its usefulness.
The findings provide guidance to contract manufacturers seeking to incorporate cosmetic GMP when outsourcing production, thereby ensuring consistency. While these findings are primarily focused on the UAE context, cosmetic companies operating outside the UAE may also find these results useful in implementing cosmetic GMP. However, the refinement and validation of equipment as described in this study is only part of what is needed to obtain the right, reliable equipment for each field. Further research is needed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the device.

CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge Wednesday sentenced Jerry Harris, a former star of the Netflix documentary series “Cheer,” to 12 years in prison for coercing teenage boys to send him obscene photos and videos of themselves and soliciting sex from minors at cheerleading competitions.
U.S. District Judge Manish Shah also ordered that the sentence be followed by eight years of court-supervised release.
Shah told Harris to consider the sentence an “expression of the seriousness of your crimes, tempered with some hope that all is not lost for you or for your victims, and that in the future some healing can occur.”
Harris, 22, of suburban Naperville, pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count each of receiving child pornography and traveling with the intention to engage in illegal sexual conduct.
A prosecutor had asked for a sentence of 15 years followed by 10 years of supervised release while attorneys for Harris sought a sentence of six years and eight years of supervised release.
Before learning his sentence, Harris apologized to his victims, saying, “I am deeply sorry for all the trauma my abuse has caused you. I pray deep down that your suffering comes to an end.”
“I’m not an evil person,” Harris said. “I’m still learning who I am and what my purpose is.”
Harris has been in custody at a federal detention facility.
Sarah Klein, an attorney for two of the victims, issued a statement saying Harris’ guilt was “firmly established.”
“The sentence he received reflects the severity of his crimes and the lifetime of pain his victims will suffer,” Klein said.
Harris was arrested in September 2020 on a charge of production of child pornography. Prosecutors alleged at the time that he solicited videos and images from two 14-year-old brothers.
According to a complaint, federal prosecutors said that Harris admitted to repeatedly asking a minor teen for pornographic videos and images between December 2018 and March 2020.
Then in December of that year, he was indicted on more charges alleging misconduct in Illinois, Florida and Texas. According to the indictment, Harris allegedly solicited sex from minors at cheerleading competitions and convinced teenage boys to send him obscene photographs and videos of themselves.
Harris admitted to FBI agents to asking a teenage boy to send him lewd photographs of himself, and to requesting child pornography on Snapchat from at least 10 to 15 others he knew to be minors, according to the indictment.
“Cheer” was a huge success when it was released in January 2020 and Harris became wildly popular for his upbeat attitude and his encouraging “mat talk.” Harris even interviewed celebrities on the red carpet at the Academy Awards for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
The docuseries follows the competitive cheerleading squad from Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Ex-Cheer-star-Harris-gets-12-years-for-seeking-17288799.php | 2022-07-07T03:38:09Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Ex-Cheer-star-Harris-gets-12-years-for-seeking-17288799.php | false | 32 |

NEW YORK — Attorneys representing Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Wednesday he intends to challenge a subpoena compelling him to testify before a special grand jury in Georgia investigating former President Donald Trump and his allies' actions after the 2020 election.
Graham was one of a handful of Trump confidants and lawyers named Tuesday in petitions filed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as part of her investigation into what she alleges was "a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere."
Graham attorneys Bart Daniel and Matt Austin said in a statement Wednesday that the Republican senator "plans to go to court, challenge the subpoena, and expects to prevail," and they slammed the probe as politically motivated.
"This is all politics. Fulton County is engaged in a fishing expedition and working in concert with the January 6 Committee in Washington," they wrote, adding that, "As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Graham was well within his rights to discuss with state officials the processes and procedures around administering elections."
"Should it stand, the subpoena issued today would erode the constitutional balance of power and the ability of a Member of Congress to do their job," they went on. They also said they had been informed by Fulton County investigators that Graham "is neither a subject nor target of the investigation."
"Should witnesses choose to challenge an order that they testify before the Special Purpose Grand Jury, the District Attorney will respond in the appropriate court to compel their appearance," Fulton County district attorney's office spokesperson Jeff DiSantis said in an email.
In the petition submitted Tuesday, Willis wrote that Graham, a longtime Trump ally, made at least two telephone calls to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and members of his staff in the weeks after the November 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden. During those calls, Graham asked about reexamining certain absentee ballots "to explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome for former President Donald Trump," she wrote.
Willis also filed petitions to compel cooperation from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was one of Trump's primary lawyers during the failed efforts to overturn the result of the election, as well as lawyers Kenneth Chesebro, Cleta Mitchell, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman and Jacki Pick Deason.
Giuliani was recovering Tuesday after undergoing surgery to have two heart stents put in, his son, Andrew Giuliani, said while filling in for him as co-host on radio's "The Rudy Giuliani Show."
Because she is trying to compel testimony from people who live outside of Georgia, Willis had to submit petitions for a judge's approval. The judge overseeing the special grand jury signed off on her petitions.
The next step is to deliver the documents to a prosecutor wherever each potential witness lives so that they can be presented to a local judge to hold a hearing. If that judge determines that the person is a "material and necessary witness" and that the trip to Atlanta to testify would not be an undue burden on the potential witness, the judge would issue a subpoena to compel the person to testify before the special grand jury. Someone who fails to comply with a subpoena can be found in contempt.

MIAMI — Shohei Ohtani continues to dazzle throughout this disappointing stretch for the Angels.
Ohtani gave up just one unearned run in seven innings and he drove in the go-ahead runs in the Angels’ 5-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.
Ohtani did most of the heavy lifting to snap the Angels’ four-game losing streak, giving them their first victory on this nine-game trip.
“I think it’s huge that we’re winning when I’m pitching, because I’m part of the fault of the losing streak because I’m in the lineup,” Ohtani said through his interpreter. “It’s great when I can stop it on the mound.”
Over his last five starts, Ohtani is 5-0 with a 0.27 ERA, including 46 strikeouts and nine walks in 33-2/3 innings. He hasn’t allowed a single earned run over his last four starts, while striking out at least 40, a feat accomplished just eight other times since earned runs became an official stat in 1913.
Since the RBI became a stat in 1920, Ohtani is the first player to ever strike out 10, drive in two runs and steal a base in the same game.
“It’s special,” Angels catcher Max Stassi said. “It’s historic. It’s elite. He’s a frontline guy. He’s established himself as one of the better arms in all baseball. Everybody else knows that. And you gotta fear him at the plate the same day too. He’s a superstar pitcher and he’s a superstar hitter.
“It’s really tough to do one. It continues to amaze me. Sometimes I have to take a step back and be like, this is special. This is unique and this will not be done at that level. It will not be done again.”
Ohtani came into the game with a 21-2/3 inning scoreless streak, but that ended when he gave up an unearned run in the first inning. Shortstop Luis Rengifo made a bad throw after backhanding a grounder from speedy leadoff hitter Jon Berti. Joey Wendle then doubled and Garrett Cooper drove in Berti with a sacrifice fly.
After that, Ohtani cruised.
Ohtani issued a walk and gave up a single in the second, but then he started a string of retiring 15 consecutive hitters.
Ohtani’s slider and splitter were both effective. He got 11 whiffs on 22 swings at his slider, and six whiffs on eight swings against his splitter. Ohtani also had his top fastball velocity, including a fifth-inning strikeout of Jacob Stallings on a 100.9 mph fastball.
“Another magnificent outing,” Stassi said. “Amazing. He navigated through seven innings, threw sliders, threw splits, threw fastballs, threw 3-2 curveballs. Call it a day.”
He walked two hitters in the seventh, prompting a visit from pitching coach Matt Wise and action in the bullpen. Ohtani then escaped the inning by striking out pinch-hitter Nick Fortes on three pitches, his 10th strikeout of the game.
Ryan Tepera and Raisel Iglesias worked the final two innings to close it out, with a four-run lead thanks to the long overdue awakening of the Angels’ offense.
The Angels came into the game on a franchise-worst streak of four straight games with three hits or fewer, and they equaled that total in the fifth inning alone.
Michael Stefanic led off with a dribbler that went for an infield hit, the first of his two hits. Stassi then hit one into the gap in left-center and sliding left fielder Berti couldn’t hold it. Monte Harrison was hit by a pitch, loading the bases.
After Jonathan Villar hit a comebacker that pitcher Trevor Rogers threw home for a force, Mike Trout was hit by a pitch to drive in the tying run.
Ohtani then poked a two-run single into left field, driving in two to give the Angels their first multi-run inning of the five games so far on this trip.
“I was just telling myself not to strike out, put the ball in play,” Ohtani said. “Something is going to happen if I put the ball in play. I happened to find a hole.”
The Angels added two more runs in the seventh, on RBI hits by Taylor Ward and Rengifo, to crack the five-run mark for the first time since June 22.
In describing the relief of the Angels finally putting some runs on the board, Stassi took the opportunity to offer unsolicited support for Angels hitting coaches Jeremy Reed, John Mallee and Paul Sorrento.
“All the coaches are sending out video, talking to each guy, communicating ‘hey, here’s what you need to work on. Here’s what you’re doing when you’re good,’” Stassi said. “It’s nonstop. Those guys work their absolute tails off. It’s an endless job. It’s a thankless job. When it’s going good, nobody talks about you these guys. When it’s not going good, we’re the ones in the box, but it starts to get some attention, which is completely wrong. The process has been great. We’re just trying to ride it out and compete every night, one day at a time.”

Researchers investigate how diet and feeding patterns affect gut microbiota
An estimated 500 to 1,000 bacterial species are present in each person’s intestine, perhaps counting as 100,000 trillion microorganisms. In a new treatise published on July 5, 2022 Cell reportResearchers at the University of California, San Diego Medical School used a mouse model to investigate how diet and feeding patterns affect these gut microbiota-; and especially obesity and type 2 diabetes. Host health with.
In both mice and men, the ileum is the last part of the small intestine and connects to the cecum, the first part of the large intestine. In the ileum, nutrients are extracted from liquefied foods. In the cecum, which marks the beginning of the colon, the process of extracting water begins.
Both processes are complex and dynamic, and from the type of food consumed, when and when their presence and behavior help determine digestion, nutrient absorption, vitamin synthesis, and immune system development, intestinal microbial residents. It is greatly influenced by the factors leading up to.
It is important to recognize that the gut microbiota is constantly changing based not only on what we eat, but also on time of day. “
Amir Zarrinpar, MD, PhD, Senior Research Author, Associate Professor at UC San Diego Medical Center and Gastroenterologist at UC San Diego Health
“Most researchers take snapshots of this constantly changing environment, making it difficult to understand what’s happening in the gut. In this study, like a movie, 1 Taking multiple snapshots throughout the day is trying to better understand the method. Food and the microflora interact to affect weight gain and diabetes.
“And what we have learned is that the cyclical changes in the gut flora help the circadian clock, regulate and control glucose, cholesterol and buty acid, and help the overall metabolic health, so it is very healthy. Is important to. “
In a recent study, Zarrinpar et al. Further elucidate the effects and interactions of these factors, especially in terms of the ileum and its unique functions associated with digestion and absorption. Specifically, how diet-induced obesity (DIO) and time-limited feeding (TRF) alter the composition and transcriptome of the ileal microflora in a mouse model (the protein-encoding portion of the organism’s genome). I checked.
In the mouse model, researchers found that the lack of DIO and TRF (mice can eat as much as they want) disrupts the rhythm of the gut microbiota and the signaling pathways that help regulate the gut clock. I found it to bring. In other words, the mouse became fat and unhealthy.
“It’s interesting that TRF’s restriction of food access works not only through the recovery of affected patterns in unhealthy conditions, but also through new pathways,” said Ana, a postdoctoral researcher in Zarrinpar’s lab. Dr. Carolina Dantas Machado said.
“These findings highlight the effects of diet and time-limited feeding patterns on maintaining a healthy gut flora, which regulate the circadian rhythms that govern metabolic health,” Zalymper said. Said. “This is a very complex relationship between the microbial flora and the host, the former helping to determine gastrointestinal function and health in the latter.”
According to the authors, their study is about future studies, especially how the intestine works, or how the drug acts on intestinal function depending on the state of the microflora at a particular time or time. You can give information to the survey.

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union lawmakers voted Wednesday to include natural gas and nuclear in the bloc’s list of sustainable activities, backing a proposal from the EU’s executive arm that has been drawing fierce criticism from environment groups and now looks set to trigger legal challenges.
As the EU wants to set the best global standards in the fight against climate change, the decision could tarnish the bloc’s image and question the region’s commitment to reaching climate neutrality by 2050.
The European Commission earlier this year made the proposal as part of its plans for building a climate-friendly future, dividing member countries and drawing outcry from environmentalists over what they criticize as “greenwashing.”
EU legislators from the environment and economy committees objected last month to the plan, setting up Wednesday’s decisive vote in Strasbourg, France. But MEPs rejected their resolution in a 328-278 vote, with 33 lawmakers abstaining. The result was announced to a salvo of applause.
An absolute majority of 353 was needed to veto the proposal. If the European Parliament and member countries don’t object to it by July 11, the so-called Taxonomy delegated act will enter into force and apply as of next year.
Greenpeace immediately said it will submit a formal request for internal review to the European Commission, and then take legal action at the European Court of Justice if the result isn’t conclusive.
“It’s dirty politics and it’s an outrageous outcome to label gas and nuclear as green and keep more money flowing to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s war chest, but now we will fight this in the courts,” said Ariadna Rodrigo, Greenpeace’s EU sustainable finance campaigner.
European Parliament rapporteur Bas Eickhout rued “a dark day for the climate and the energy transition.”
The green labeling system from the European Commission defines what qualifies as an investment in sustainable energy. Under certain conditions, gas and nuclear energy will now be part of the mix, making it easier for private investors to inject money into both.
With the EU aiming to reach climate neutrality by 2050 and to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, the commission says the classification system is crucial to direct investments into sustainable energy. It estimates that about 350 billion euros of investment per year will be needed to meet the 2030 targets.
The question of nuclear power has divided environmentalists, energy experts and governments for years, with some arguing it’s an important source of energy because it’s produced with no emissions and thus “clean,” while others say the risks of nuclear reactions are too great and infrastructure is slow and costly to build. Liquid natural gas, clearly a fossil fuel, is roundly criticized in environmental circles.
Germany’s industrial lobby group BDI welcomed the vote, saying it cleared the way for financing the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.
“Gas is our bridge technology to the renewable age,” said its deputy head, Holger Loesch.
The BDI called for more investments in gas infrastructure, including LNG terminals, to ensure sufficient supply amid the current energy crisis, but added that new gas power plants need to be capable of handling hydrogen eventually.
Introducing gas and nuclear into the equation has divided the 27 member countries amid Russia’s war in Ukraine, and even the parliament’s political groups.
Luxembourg’s energy minister, Claude Turmes, said he deeply regretted the European Parliament’s failure to bloc the commission’s plan, adding that his country — together with Austria — would move ahead with legal efforts to block the labeling of nuclear and gas as sustainable.
Steffen Hebestreit, a spokesman for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, said that “the German government stands by its position and considers nuclear energy as unsustainable.”
“Nevertheless, the German government believes that the taxonomy is an important instrument for achieving climate protection targets, because it is clear that natural gas is an important bridging technology for us on the way to CO2 neutrality and the inclusion of the use of natural gas in the delegated act takes this into account,” Hebestreit added.
Protests that had started on Tuesday continued Wednesday outside the EU legislature as lawmakers debated the issue.
Environmentalists warned the vote could set a precedent for lawmakers elsewhere to label polluting forms of energy as sustainable.
“We have now officially validated greenwashing by law,” said Tsvetelina Kuzmanova of the climate think tank E3G.
“The process and the decision have been entirely political, not scientific, to only benefit a small number of member states,” she said. “This would not stand a chance in court and will only create more uncertainty for financial markets and jeopardize (the) EU’s climate ambition.”
The youth activist group Fridays for Future said billions of euros could be pumped into gas infrastructure and nuclear power plants as a result of the decision, diverting much-needed funds from renewable alternatives.
One argument for rejecting the proposal is that it will boost Russian gas sales at a time when it is invading neighboring Ukraine, but the European Commission said it had received a letter from the Ukrainian government backing its stance.
European Commissioner Mairead McGuinness quoted from the letter from Ukraine’s energy minister Tuesday: “I strongly believe that the inclusion of gas and nuclear in the taxonomy is an important element of the energy security in Europe, especially with a view to replacing Russian gas.”
“I don’t think we should second-guess this letter,” McGuinness said.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has prompted the 27-nation bloc to sever ties with some Russian fossil fuels. Member countries have agreed to ban 90% of Russian oil by year-end in addition to a ban on imports of Russian coal that will start in August.
But the EU hasn’t included gas — a fuel used to power factories and generate electricity — in its own sanctions for fear of seriously harming the European economy. Before the war in Ukraine, it relied on Russia for 25% of its oil and 40% of its natural gas.

That includes investigations into efforts to overturn the 2020 results and challenges to new election laws. Stephen Fowler, a reporter for Georgia Public Broadcasting, and Andrew Oxford, a reporter at Arizona Public Media, join Lisa Desjardins to discuss. Read the Full Transcript Judy Woodruff: Most states have, by now, held their party primaries for this year's elections, but many are still dealing with the fallout of the 2020 presidential election. That includes investigations into efforts to overturn the 2020 results and challenges to new election laws.Lisa Desjardins is here with an update. Lisa Desjardins: This election year, just like in 2020, all eyes are on a handful of key battleground states. That's where we turn our focus with two reporters covering the story.Stephen Fowler is a political reporter for Georgia Public Broadcasting, and Andrew Oxford is a reporter at Arizona Public Media.Let's start in Georgia with you, Stephen Fowler.And let's look at the list of people subpoenaed just yesterday in the Fulton County grand jury investigation of the 2020 election. You see there top Trump officials, like attorney Rudy Giuliani, some allies like then-Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, others involved in a phone call to state officials from President Trump and others.Stephen Fowler, what do you think these subpoenas mean and what do they tell us about this case? Stephen Fowler, Georgia Public Broadcasting: Well, it sends a pretty clear message about what the special grand jury and Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis are looking for as they continue to investigate efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.Much of the figures that have been subpoenaed appeared at a December 2020 unofficial hearing of the Georgia state legislature, where nobody was under oath, nobody was compelled to tell the truth, and a lot of falsehoods were shared about Georgia's election, particularly vote counting in Fulton County's State Farm Arena.And there were several video clips that were played that turned out to be debunked, but the people in these subpoenas still pushed those claims. And that's some of what the investigators are looking at. Lisa Desjardins: We already know Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, for example, has said he is not going to cooperate with the subpoena. He calls this politics.What do we know about what's ahead here in this fight and the timeline in this case? Stephen Fowler: Well, it is moving relatively quickly. The special grand jury was impaneled in May. They have been hearing from testimony from everyone from Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to Democratic state lawmakers that were present in those hearings.And much like what we're seeing in Washington, D.C., with the January 6 Committee hearings, prosecutors and the grand jury are building things from the ground up, a very foundational level investigation into many of the claims made, many potential crimes that were committed. And we could see this accelerate rapidly. Lisa Desjardins: All right, let's move West, subpoenas also in Arizona just last week, where you are, Andrew Oxford. We have seen these Republican officials subpoenaed last week, this time by the FBI.We see two state senators, Karen Fann and Kelly Townsend, be subpoenaed. Tell us, who are these lawmakers and what is the FBI looking for here? Andrew Oxford, Arizona Public Media: Karen Fann is the leader of the state Senate. She's a Republican from Prescott. And Kelly Townsend is a Republican from the Mesa area, from Apache Junction.And the — Kelly Townsend told 12 News here in Arizona that the subpoena she received was seeking communications between her and Trump's lawyers. We already know, of course, that Trump's attorneys like Rudy Giuliani were in touch with leading Arizona lawmakers after the 2020 election, as lawmakers either joined calls or faced mounting calls to overturn the results of the presidential election here.In fact, Senate President Karen Fann told a constituent in December 2020 in an e-mail that she'd had multiple conversations with Rudy Giuliani. So, I think it'll be interesting to see if these subpoenas reveal anything new about that sort of communication, about the pressure campaign that lawmakers were facing or participating in.President Fann has downplayed the significance of this subpoena, though. She said that it's seeking documents and communications that others have already requested through public records laws. Lisa Desjardins: This is all a lot to keep track of. We have just talked about different investigations about the election.But there at the same time is a lawsuit now in your state, in Arizona. The Department of Justice is suing the state over its new election law. And to remind viewers, the law isn't all that simple, but here are some of the points that the Justice Department is looking at, that the law would require voters to bring documents proving citizenship. They would have to check a citizenship box and fill in their place of birth.Andrew, help us out. What is the legal back-and-forth over this law? Andrew Oxford: Right.So Arizona already requires voters to provide proof of citizenship when they register. If they don't, they still have a right, of course, to cast a ballot in federal elections, to vote for president, to vote for members of Congress. This new law passed on a party-line vote in the legislature earlier this year and signed by Governor Ducey requires election officials to verify the citizenship of those voters who haven't provided proof of citizenship.And it says that, if you don't provide proof of citizenship, you can't vote for president and you can't vote by mail. The Department of Justice says that this violates the national Voting Rights Act. The U.S. Supreme Court has actually already taken up a similar policy in Arizona about a decade ago in a case here.So, in fact, staff at the legislature have warned that the legislature would likely end up in this position of facing challenges to this law. In committee hearings as lawmakers were debating it, attorneys warned that this could violate federal law. As one lawmaker said, though, they believe this is a fight worth having.And I think it's perhaps worth looking at this whole back-and-forth as really an effort by some Republican lawmakers to challenge broader national voting rights laws. Lisa Desjardins: Just to wrap this all up, I want to ask both of you. You're there on the ground. You have been watching and covering how your state votes and the controversy around how your states have voted.I want to start with you, Stephen, but ask both of you, where do things stand right now? Stephen Fowler: Well, Georgia's election law has been challenged. Numerous different lawsuits have been filed for the different parts of the 98-page law that we had here.And, so far, it's been a slow moving process. We did just recently have a federal judge deny a preliminary injunction to block part of Georgia's law dealing with third-party absentee ballot applications. But, Lisa, we are running up close to a time when federal courts don't normally like to change election laws, because we have preparations happening very, very soon for the November race.So it's unlikely that Georgia's election laws will change anytime before voters head to the polls. Lisa Desjardins: Andrew, what about in Arizona? Andrew Oxford: I think we will get a good sense of that next month, when Republican primary voters have some really big choices to make about who they want to elevate to or nominate for election officials, the secretary of state's race, for example, a key role in setting election policy and running the state's elections.You have a candidate running on his endorsement from Donald Trump and candidates trying to strike a more moderate tone. Even at local levels, I think you will see Republican primary voters weighing in about the direction they want not just the state to go, but how they want elections to be run into the future here.Rusty Bowers, the House speaker who was testifying in front of the January 6 Committee, is running for state Senate and has a primary challenger who is touting his support for Donald Trump. So, you will see, I think, a pretty good indication of which way the base of the party wants to go here in the coming month. Lisa Desjardins: Stephen Fowler and Andrew Oxford, our expert reporters on the ground, we thank both of you.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Democratic governors in states where abortion will remain legal are looking for ways to protect any patients who travel there for the procedure — along with the providers who help them — from being prosecuted by their home states.
The Democratic governors of Colorado and North Carolina on Wednesday issued executive orders to protect abortion providers and patients from extradition to states that have banned the practice.
Abortions are legal in North Carolina until fetal viability or in certain medical emergencies, making the state an outlier in the Southeast.
“This order will help protect North Carolina doctors and nurses and their patients from cruel right-wing criminal laws passed by other states,” Gov. Roy Cooper said in announcing the order.
The governors of Rhode Island and Maine also signed executive orders late Tuesday, stating that they will not cooperate with other states’ investigations into people who seek abortions or health care providers that perform them.
Rhode Island Democratic Gov. Dan McKee said women should be trusted with their own health care decisions, and Democratic Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos said Rhode Island must do all it can to protect access to reproductive health care as “other states attack the fundamental right to choose.”
Maine Democratic Gov. Janet Mills said she will “stand in the way of any effort to undermine, rollback, or outright eliminate the right to safe and legal abortion in Maine.”
Their offices confirmed Wednesday that they are preemptive, protective moves, and that neither state has received a request to investigate, prosecute or extradite a provider or patient.
Their attempts to protect abortion rights come as tighter restrictions and bans are going into effect in conservative states after last month’s Dobbs v. Jackson ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court, which overturned the nearly half-century-old holding from Roe v. Wade that found that the right to abortion was protected by the U.S. Constitution. The issue reverts to the states, many of which have taken steps to curtail or ban abortions.
Several states have put new restrictions already in place since the Supreme Court ruling and more are pressing to do so. In Louisiana on Wednesday, the state Supreme Court rejected the attorney general’s request to allow immediate enforcement of laws against most abortions saying it was declining to get involved “at this preliminary stage.” Enforcement was blocked by another court last week. Attorney General Jeff Landry tweeted that Wednesday’s decision “is delaying the inevitable. Our Legislature fulfilled their constitutional duties, and now the Judiciary must. It is disappointing that time is not immediate.”
The specific fears of Democratic officials are rooted in a Texas law adopted last year to ban abortions after fetal cardiac activity can be detected. The law lets any person other than a government official or employee sue anyone who performs an abortion or “knowingly engages in conduct that aids or abets” obtaining one.
The person filing the claim would be entitled to $10,000 for every abortion the subject was involved with — plus legal costs.
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear challenges to the Texas law so far.
Bernadette Meyler, a professor at Stanford Law School, said it’s not clear whether judgments against out-of-state abortion providers would hold up in courts, especially if they are not advertising their services in states with bans.
But she also said it’s not clear that the liberal states are on firm legal ground to protect their residents from any out-of-state litigation.
“Probably, they assume that some of the laws that they’re passing won’t be upheld or may not be upheld, and they’re trying to come up with as much as possible in order to resist the effects of the Dobbs decision,” Meyler said.
The resistance to cooperating with abortion-related investigations could hold up, though, she said. Places that declared themselves “sanctuary cities” and refused to cooperate with federal immigration investigations during former President Donald Trump’s presidency were able to carry out similar policies.
In Raleigh, North Carolina, Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson said her group and other advocates for abortion access are pushing for the protections. “Everywhere we can push the imagination of what a free and equal world looks like,” she said, “we are working with those governors.”
Connecticut was the first state to pass a law to protect abortion providers, patients and others from legal action taken by other states. Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont signed it in May, before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
“In accordance with Connecticut law, we will resist any attempt by another state to criminalize or intrude on a woman’s private and lawful healthcare decisions,” Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said in a statement last week.
The Democratic governors of Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada, California and Washington and the moderate Republican governor in liberal Massachusetts all signed executive orders within days of the ruling to prohibit cooperation with other states that might interfere with abortion access.
“Residents seeking access will be protected, providers will be protected, and abortion is and will continue to be legal, safe and accessible, period,” said New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who has described the order as a preventative measure.
One of the largest abortion providers in Texas announced Wednesday that it’s planning to move its operations to bordering New Mexico. Whole Woman’s Health announced Wednesday that it is looking to establish a new clinic in a New Mexico city near the state line to provide first- and second-trimester abortions.
The Democratic-controlled Massachusetts House of Representatives approved a bill that aims to protect abortion providers and people seeking abortions from actions taken by other states. Delaware’s Democratic governor signed legislation expanding abortion access, with various legal protections for abortion providers and patients, including out-of-state residents receiving abortions in Delaware.
New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed two bills Friday that moved swiftly in the Democratic-led Legislature following the ruling. The new laws aim to protect the right of those from outside the state to get abortion services within its borders and bar extradition of people involved in reproductive health care services should they face charges in another state.
Murphy said he was “overwhelmingly angry” that he had to sign the bills, but equally as proud to do so.
“These laws will make New Jersey a beacon of freedom for every American woman,” he said during a signing ceremony in Jersey City, not far from the Statue of Liberty.
In Washington state, the governor prohibited the state patrol from cooperating with out-of-state abortion investigations or prosecutions, but he noted that he didn’t have jurisdiction over local law enforcement agencies. The executive in the county surrounding Seattle said Tuesday that its sheriff’s office and other executive branch departments will not cooperate with out-of-state prosecutions of abortion providers or patients.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s office has said the state will refuse non-fugitive extradition for criminal prosecutions around abortion, but said an executive order is not needed.
Some progressive prosecutors around the U.S. have already declared that they won’t enforce some of the most restrictive, punitive anti-abortion laws. Police in Nashville on Wednesday released a statement saying they “are not abortion police” a day after the city council passed a resolution calling on the department to make abortion investigations a low priority.
City council members in two other liberal cities in conservative states — New Orleans and Austin, Texas — have made called for similar resolutions.

Cricket-Australia's Smith raises doubts over England's attacking style
I'm just intrigued to see how long it lasts, if it's sustainable," Smith told reporters before Australia's second test against Sri Lanka begins on Friday in Galle. "If you come in on a wicket that's got some grass on it and Josh Hazlewood, Cummins and Starc are rolling in at you, is it going to be the same?
Steve Smith said England's new attacking approach to test cricket was exciting but expressed doubts over whether it could stand up to the heat of Australian bowling. England have won all four tests under new coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, crushing world test champions New Zealand 3-0 in June before chasing down a record 378 against India this week.
Smith said England's batters may not fare so well against the Australian bowling attack of Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. "It's been exciting. I'm just intrigued to see how long it lasts, if it's sustainable," Smith told reporters before Australia's second test against Sri Lanka begins on Friday in Galle.
"If you come in on a wicket that's got some grass on it and Josh Hazlewood, Cummins and Starc are rolling in at you, is it going to be the same? "I'm intrigued by it all ... Is it going to work every time? I don't know."
Smith added that there was no lingering ill-feeling from his mix-up with Usman Khawaja after his dismissal in the opening test in Galle, which Australia won by 10 wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The 33-year-old stormed off after being run out for six and his reaction drew criticism from former Australia captains Ian Chappell and Mark Taylor.
"I hate getting run out. I think anyone does," Smith said. "I was pretty upset. That happens in the game. I had to keep moving forward and that's part of the game. "I spoke to Uz straight after, it was pretty chilled. Mix-ups happen and we keep moving on."

BRATTLEBORO — Rutland Country Club golfer Jared Nelson shot to the top of the Vermont Amateur golf tournament leaderboard with a dominant showing in the second round on Wednesday at Brattleboro Country Club.
Nelson came into the day at ever-par in sixth place, but made his way up the leaderboard with four birdies on the front nine on Wednesday. He sank four more birdies on the back nine and sat at 6-under in a tie for first place.
Joining Nelson at the top was Brattleboro Country Club's Ryan Kohler, who had sole possession of the lead after the first day. Kohler shot 2-under on Wednesday and avoided any bogeys, while birdieing the 10th and 11th holes.
Nelson wasn't the only golfer to shoot up the leaderboard. Defending Vermont Amateur champion Bryson Richards, of Country Club of Barre, put himself within a shot of the leaders in second with a 5-under round on Wednesday.
Richards had just one bogey and sank five birdies to put himself in serious contention heading into the final day. It was a very similar story to Richards' effort last year, where he turned on the jets in the second round.
Ralph Myhre Golf Course's Lucas Politano, a rising sophomore at Otter Valley, kept in striking distance, sitting at even-par in a tie for fourth through two rounds. Wednesday's round didn't start well with bogeys on three of the first four holes, but he battled back to get three birdies the rest of the way.
Cory Jozefiak, a former Am runner-up from 802 Golf Academy, also sat at even-par, after carding his second 71 in as many days.
Rutland's Garren Poirier, the 2020 Vermont Am champion, kept himself alive getting to 1-over in a tie for sixth for the tournament. Poirier shot 3-under on Wednesday, responding to a bogey on the first hole with four birdies the rest of the round.
RCC clubmate Max Major joined Poirier at 1-over. Major came into the day at even-par, but his bogeys slightly outpaced his birdies in the second round.
Country Club of Vermont's Mike Coakley shot a 72 on Wednesday, with a trio of birdies on the front nine to sit at 1-over. Burlington Country Club's Troy Goliber was also at 1-over.
Mountain View Country Club's Phil Fairbanks finished cut day at 2-over in a tie for 10th. He posted his second consecutive 72 and sank a pair of birdies.
The Golf Club at Equinox's Jason Balch fell back a bit on the leaderboard after sitting in a tie for second coming into Wednesday. After posting a 75 on Wednesday, he sat at 2-over.
Ekwanok Country Club's Taylor Bellemare and Kwiniaska Golf Club's Brody Yates were tied for 12th at 3-over, a stroke ahead of Rutland's Nick Ojala at 4-over. Ojala was sitting pretty after a first day 69, but dropped a bit with a 77 on Wednesday.
Burlington's Andy Weigand posted an even-par round on Wednesday. He had a very consistent second round with 16 pars and was in 15th place.
Champlain Country Club's Evan Russell is a two-time Amateur champion. He sat at 6-over in a tie for 16th through the second day, a step back from his even-par opening round.
Barre's Troy Evans also was at 6-over. He shot a 77 on Wednesday after carding an even-par 71 on the opening day.
Brattleboro's Jeffrey Houle showed improvement on the second day of action on his home course, shooting three strokes better to sit at 7-over in a tie for 18th.
Also at 7-over was Burlington's Nathan Godbout and Manchester Country Club's Ryan Porter.
Ralph Myhre's Hogan Beazley improved on the second day to put him at 8-over in a tie for 21st.
Joining Beazley at 8-over was Rocky Ridge's Stephen Richards, Brattleboro's Jacob Miller, Quechee's Colby Sanville, Manchester's Caleb Keyes and Champlain's Sam Myers.
Burlington's Michael Walsh and Mount Snow Country Club's JJ McDevitt at 9-over in a tie for 27th
Rutland's Frankie Sanborn and Logan Broyles and Country Club of Barre's Nelson Eaton finished at 10-over in a tie for 29th.
Rocky Ridge's Nicholas Murphy, Stowe Golf Club's Tyler Parker, Manchester's Andrew Trask, Lakeside's Sean Keogh and Vermont National's Seth Anderson were tied for 32nd at 11-over.
Newport Country Club's Austin Giroux, Lakeside's Brock Paquette and Ekwanok's Charlie Davis were at 12-over in a tie for 37th.
Division II medalist Riley Richards, of Country Club of Barre, just slipped inside the cut line at 13-over. Joining him on the line were Dorset Field Club's Bryan Laselle, Lakeside's Greg Wells, Mount Snow's Chad Bullock and Manchester's Mathew Prendergast.
A pair of Rutland golfers, Samuel Major and Sebastian Pell, just missed the cut at 14-over.
After losing their grip on the trophy last season, Rutland Country Club ran away with the McCullough Cup team trophy, carding a combined 7-over across the first two days.
Burlington Country Club's team of Nelson, Poirier, Broyles and Ojala, came second at 22-over and Country Club of Barre finished third at 24-over. | https://www.timesargus.com/sports/nelson-kohler-top-vt-am-leaderboard/article_eab1600c-095a-59d0-9ac4-585e76c4430a.html | 2022-07-07T03:59:01Z | https://www.timesargus.com/sports/nelson-kohler-top-vt-am-leaderboard/article_eab1600c-095a-59d0-9ac4-585e76c4430a.html | false | 3 |
SAN DIEGO (AP) — One note submitted to the federal judge sentencing a 38-year-old California woman for embezzlement claimed that a biopsy had revealed “cancerous cells” in her uterus. Another indicated that she was undergoing a surgical procedure, and her cancer had spread to the cervix. Yet another letter warned she “cannot be exposed to COVID-19” because of her fragile state.
But federal officials say the notes and cancer were all fake, and now Ashleigh Lynn Chavez is headed to prison for three times as long. The court this week added an additional two years to her initial, one-year prison sentence.
The fake claim of having cancer kept Chavez out on bond from the time of her guilty plea in 2019 to embezzling more than $160,000 from her former employer through her sentencing hearing on March 31, 2021. The notes then bought her an additional three months of freedom by the judge who believed she was getting medical treatment, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of California.
All told, Chavez was able to avoid being locked up for six months, federal officials said.
Chavez’s attorney, Benjamin Kington, said in a sentencing memorandum that Chavez was “terrified” about being separated from her newborn son, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
The notes also claimed she was too ill to work and could not make restitution payments to her former employer.
Two different attorneys hired by Chavez believed the notes were authentic and submitted them to the court, according to federal officials.
By August 2021, the notes forged by Chavez were asking the court to permit her to serve time in home confinement. In one forged note, attributed to a San Diego-area oncologist, Chavez wrote that “(a) year in prison could be a death sentence for my patient.”
Federal authorities contacted the doctors named in the letters who denied writing them, though Chavez had been a patient of one of the physicians, according to federal officials.
“This defendant went to appalling lengths to avoid her initial prison sentence by falsifying medical documents to claim she had cancer. This offensive conduct is an affront to every person fighting that battle,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Stacey Moy said in a statement. | https://www.wtnh.com/news/unusual-stories-news/california-woman-fakes-cancer-forges-notes-to-avoid-prison/ | 2022-07-07T04:00:23Z | https://www.wtnh.com/news/unusual-stories-news/california-woman-fakes-cancer-forges-notes-to-avoid-prison/ | true | 40 |

Zee News anchor Rohit Ranjan was arrested by Noida Police in Ghaziabad.
(Photo Courtesy: Twitter/Rohit Ranjan)
Even though interstate arrests in India are not quite rare, not everyday does the Uttar Pradesh police tussle with another state's police force over dibs on arrest.
But on Tuesday, 5 July, when Chhattisgarh Police showed up at TV news anchor Rohit Ranjan's Indirapuram home with an arrest warrant reportedly in hand, the Ghaziabad and Noida Police were having none of it.
An hour after the Chhattisgarh police arrived at his doorstep (5:30 am, as per PTI), and Ranjan tagged Uttar Pradesh Police and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister in a tweet questioning the legality of the arrest, the local Ghaziabad police showed up.
A couple of hours later (8 am), the Noida police came, and seemingly after some argument between the police teams, Rohit Ranjan was whisked away.
An FIR under sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups), 295A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class), 467 (forgery), 469 (forgery to harm reputation), 504 (intentional insult) of the Indian Penal Code was filed in Raipur against Ranjan, in connection with allegedly misleading clips about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
An unnamed official was quoted by PTI as saying:
Meanwhile, however, Ranjan tagged the CM and the UP Police: tweeted in Hindi: "Chhattisgarh Police is standing outside my house to arrest me without informing the local police. Is it legal?"
Responding to Ranjan’s tweet, the Raipur police handle said:
A Noida police officer, on his part, told PTI:
"Zee News anchor Rohit Ranjan was picked up from his home for questioning on Tuesday morning by a team from Noida Sector-20 police station in connection with an FIR lodged under IPC 505 (public mischief) on a complaint by his own channel over a doctored video played during his show on 1 July.” (emphasis added)
A Raipur police officer, however, told PTI that the sections they have booked Ranjan under are more serious than those cited by Noida police. They went on to allege that Ghaziabad police had intervened in the legal procedure by taking Ranjan away with them from his home and then saying that he had been detained by the Noida police.
If the fact that his own channel (as admitted by Noida police) filed a complaint against Ranjan on a show that they themselves had aired does not seem peculiar enough, a gleaming red flag would be the fact that the Raipur police were stopped from carrying out their arrest, just so that the Noida police could take custody of Ranjan in connection with a milder charge.
This procedure would apply to interstate arrests as well, and involves getting an endorsement from the executive magistrate or police officer in charge of the police station in whose jurisdiction the arrest is made.
However, Section 79 (3) also says "whenever there is reason to believe that the delay occasioned by obtaining the endorsement of the Magistrate or police officer within whose local jurisdiction the warrant is to be executed will prevent such execution, the police officer to whom it is directed may execute the same without such endorsement in any place beyond the local jurisdiction of the Court which issued it."
This means that if the police officer executing the arrest warrant does not have the time to go and seek endorsement of Magistrate or police officer of local jurisdiction, they can skip that stage.
They should, however, produce the arrested person before a magistrate within 24 hours of the arrest.
In Ranjan’s case, however, the Raipur police never got around to arresting him at all. They were seemingly stalled by the Ghaziabad police, while the Noida police rattled in and took him away.
Even a two-member committee appointed by the Delhi High Court to look into interstate arrest procedures, had suggested, among other things, that the visiting officer should inform the concerned police station of the purpose of his visit, and the concerned SHO should provide legal assistance to him.
Given that the Raipur police has claimed that the UP police were informed of the arrest, it remains unclear why the UP police thought it wiser to show up a short while later and arrest Ranjan under a milder, bailable section.
Owing to the rare and unique nature of such an instance, the only option that the Raipur police seems to have been left with (for the execution of their warrant) was to wait for Ranjan’s release on bail. This is because a warrant remains in force until it is executed or cancelled by the court which issued it. But that option was never exercised by Raipur police either.
It is also essential to, however, point out that even though the CrPC and other circumstances somehow pave way for interstate arrests, they are generally not preferred in law.
This is because such arrests can be easily misused by the different political parties in power in different states for political ends. Thus it makes sense to limit the power of the the police to the state in which it belongs, unless of course one is dealing with a case where the accused has crossed state lines to commit an offence.
In Rhea Chakraborty vs State of Bihar the Supreme Court had pointed towards this political precarity of police probes and ruled in favour of a CBI investigation, “not controlled by either of the two-state governments.”
In doing so the court had also noted that owing to the fact that Maharashtra and Bihar Governments were making “acrimonious allegations of political interference against each other, the legitimacy of the investigation has come under a cloud.”
In yet another incident of a similar nature, the (former) Congress government in Punjab was often accused by the BJP of protecting gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari by keeping him in Punjab's Ropar Jail for over two years in connection with an extortion case.
The UP police had long sought custody of Ansari, as several of the cases against him were lodged in UP police stations. The then Punjab government was also accused by the BJP of providing purported "VIP treatment" to Ansari.
The Supreme Court had ultimately in March 2021 directed handing over of Ansari to the custody of Uttar Pradesh police, even as Ansari reportedly claimed that there was threat to his life in UP.
Meanwhile, Rohit Ranjan has moved the Supreme Court against the multiple FIRs registered against him.
As per a Raipur police tweet, they visited his house again on Wednesday morning, only to find it locked and deserted.

The Chicago Bulls officially signed veteran center Andre Drummond and re-signed athletic forward Derrick Jones Jr. on Wednesday.
The Bulls did not disclose terms of the deals, although both moves previously were reported as two-year, $6.6 million contracts with a player option in year two. ESPN originally reported Drummond’s contract terms, while The Athletic reported the terms of Jones’ pact.
After opening the 2021-22 season with the 76ers, Drummond was dealt to the Brooklyn Nets along with Ben Simmons in the February deal that sent James Harden and Paul Millsap to Philadelphia.
The 28-year-old veteran averaged 7.9 points and 9.3 rebounds in a combined 73 games (36 starts) for Philadelphia and Brooklyn last season. In 718 career NBA games (630 starts), the two-time All-Star is averaging 13.8 points and 13.3 rebounds.
He led the NBA in rebounding four times in a five-season span from 2015-16 to 2019-20.
Jones, 25, played in 51 games (eight starts) in his first season with Chicago in 2021-22 and averaged 5.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 17.6 minutes per game.
Undrafted in 2016 out of UNLV, Jones has career averages of 6.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 280 games (97 starts) with the Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat, Portland Trail Blazers and Chicago.

Wimbledon day 11: Women’s last-four guarantees at least one first-time finalist
The women take centre stage on Thursday with two intriguing semi-final clashes on Centre Court.
Three women are looking to reach their first grand slam final on day 11 at Wimbledon.
Third seed Ons Jabeur and mum-of-two Tatjana Maria open up women’s semi-final day on Centre Court in a battle between the “barbeque buddies”, with both making debut appearances in the last four of a grand slam.
Fellow semi-final debutant Elena Rybakina, who was born in Moscow but is representing Kazakhstan, will then take on 2019 Wimbledon champion Simona Halep, who is on a 12-match winning streak at the All England Club.
Here, the PA news agency looks ahead to Thursday’s action at Wimbledon.
Order of Play
- Jabeur v Maria
- Halep v Rybakina
- Skupski/Krawczyk v Ebden/Stosur
Brit watch
While Cameron Norrie has another day to wait before his Wimbledon semi-final with Novak Djokovic, Thursday could provide some British success.
Neal Skupski and his American partner Desirae Krawczyk have reached the mixed doubles final, where they will face Australian duo Matt Ebden and Sam Stosur.
The match, usually held on the final Sunday, has been moved to Thursday this year, giving Skupski and Krawczyk the chance to defend their title and lift the first silverware of the 2022 Championships.
Match of the Day
It is hard to look beyond Halep’s encounter with Rybakina. Their last two meetings have gone to three sets, with two-time grand-slam champion Halep winning a thriller at the US Open last year.
Rybakina has produced 44 aces during the Championships, plus plenty of impressive groundstrokes, and should provide the toughest test so far for the 16th seed.
With experience on the side of former world number one Halep, she will hope to continue her love affair with Wimbledon having won on her last appearance here in 2019.
From friends to rivals…
Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewitt will attempt to win an 11th consecutive grand slam wheelchair doubles title at Wimbledon this week – but only after they do battle in the quarter-final of the singles event.
The British duo will be in last-eight action against each other on Court 14 before they turn their attention to more success as a pair during the final few days of the Championships.
Hewitt, the world number two, will be the narrow favourite over Scottish ace Reid.

Thanks to @timbosan, I've now got 2 HomePod minis that I've setup. However, I seem to have a challenge selecting them from an iPhone. I've done my research and tried a couple of solutions, but it seems to come back to one main issue. Mesh networks! I've a Netgear Nighthawk MR60 and unfortunately, the only solution seems to be having all Apple devices on their own non-Mesh network which does not really sound like the best solution moving forward!

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA (FOX 44) — Despite holding a late fourth quarter lead, the Baylor Basketball team is now off to a winless start at the GLOBL Jam as the Bears lose to Canada 69-67.
Scott Drew’s team got off to a slow start in the first quarter, but battled back in the second to take a four-point lead into the half.
The second half was a back and forth battle, with Baylor leading most of the way. The Bears actually held a four-point lead less than two minutes left in the game, but Canada responded with an 8-0 run in the next 1:08 to turn it into a four point deficit.
The dagger in this game ended up coming from a familiar foe for Baylor, as Texas guard Marcus Carr hit the step back three to extend the Canadians lead and put the game away for good.
The Bears will now wrap up pool play on Thursday, July 7th at 1:00 pm with a game against Brazil. | https://www.fox44news.com/sports/baylor/shorthanded-baylor-squad-falls-to-0-2-at-the-globl-jam-with-late-loss-to-canada/ | 2022-07-07T04:20:25Z | https://www.fox44news.com/sports/baylor/shorthanded-baylor-squad-falls-to-0-2-at-the-globl-jam-with-late-loss-to-canada/ | false | 1 |

Member of Parliament for Kintampo North Constituency for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joseph Kwame Kumah has called on President Nana Addo and the NPP government to as a matter of urgency to apologize to Ghanaians for going to IMF.
”I believe NPP administration should appologies to Ghanaians, adding the NPP promise never to go to IMF and that any government that goes to IMF is incompetent and incapable of ruling the country”.
He said this after a delegation from the International Monetary Fund was scheduled to arrive in Accra on Tuesday to begin in-person meetings with Ghanaian government representatives over an economic support plan.
The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, is a multinational organization with the goal of fostering global trade, generating high employment and sustained economic growth, and reducing poverty.
Speaking on ”Accra-Based Kingdom FM Anopa Nkomo” Joseph Kwame Kumah mentioned that the government has no choice but to go to the IMF due to economic crises the country is facing.
”He noted, if we manage our finances well enough and work without corruption we will not be going to the IMF for any support”.
”The International Monetary Fund or IMF is the only solution for the country’s economy to bounce back because nothing is working and the difficulties in the country are becoming unbearable” he explained.

More than a quarter of Americans say they would not buy an electric vehicle, according to a Consumer Reports survey released Thursday.
Price, range and access to charging stations have remained as primary barriers to buying an EV. But Consumer Reports has identified a new factor: a lack of education around EVs.
The survey of 8,027 adults found that 14% would definitely buy or lease an electric-only vehicle, 57% would consider one, and 28% would not consider getting an electric-only vehicle. Age, income and education levels correlated with willingness to drive one.
A lack of education around available tax incentives, environmental impact, and how an EV works is a significant factor in EV adoption, according to the survey. Nearly half of Americans (46%) have not heard about any incentives available for EV owners.
“Some of us have questions about the transition to electric vehicles, as many of us are unfamiliar with them,” said Dr. Quinta Warren, associate director of sustainability policy for Consumer Reports. “Expanding charging options and elevating incentives, combined with education campaigns and getting more people to experience EVs personally, can all help drive adoption.”
Asked about the top three concerns over buying or leasing an EV, 61% of respondents said they were concerned with charging logistics, 55% said they would worry about the number of miles the vehicle can go before it needs to be charged and 52% cited the costs involved with buying, owning, and maintaining an EV.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bulls signed veteran center Andre Drummond on Wednesday, adding a two-time All-Star and four-time rebounding champion.
The team also re-signed backup forward Derrick Jones Jr.
The 28-year-old Drummond has averaged 13.8 points and 13.3 rebounds over 10 seasons with Detroit, Cleveland, the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia and Brooklyn. He figures to back up Nikola Vucevic.
Drummond had a strong second half for Brooklyn last season after being traded in the deal that sent James Harden to Philadelphia, averaging 11.8 points and 10.3 rebounds in 24 games for the Nets. Drummond has averaged 13.8 points and 13.3 rebounds over 10 seasons with Detroit, Cleveland, the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
Jones averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 51 games last season — his first in Chicago and sixth in the league.
The Bulls won 46 games and enjoyed their best record in seven years with DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine leading the way. They made the playoffs for the first time since 2017, losing to Milwaukee in five games.
Chicago has a five-year maximum deal worth about $215 million in place with LaVine as well as a one-year, $2.9 million agreement with veteran guard Goran Dragic, people familiar with the situations have told The Associated Press. The team had not announced those deals as of Wednesday night.

Camille Vasquez won hearts of millions of people after she helped Johnny Depp secure a near victory against Amber Heard in a defamation lawsuit.
The lawyer also got promotion and earned a partnership in her law firm for her outstanding performance inside the courtroom.
She seemed to have developed a good relationship with the Hollywood star.
Thousands of Johnny Depp fans took to social media to wish Camille Vasquez on her 38th birthday on Wednesday.
While many people praised her for helping Depp, others were of the view that she deserved to be wished on her birthday by the actor himself.
Depp is currently busy producing music and has released a couple of songs since his court victory.
His fans hope that the actor would personally send birthday wishes to the lawyer if he avoids using social media.

Following MSI and Gigabyte, ASUS has now broken the DDR5 memory overclocking world record with its top ROG Maximus Z690 APEX motherboard.
ASUS Achieves A Stunning 10552 Mbps DDR5 Memory Overclock With ROG Maximus Z690 APEX Motherboard
The latest overclock was achieved by Hong Kong-based overclocker, LUPIN_NO_MUSUME, with the ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 APEX motherboard. The motherboard is designed specifically for DRAM overclocking as seen by its Dual DIMM memory layout. Officially, this motherboard can support up to DDR5-6600 speeds but overclockers are ready to push DDR5 way above the designated specs.
Using LN2 and an Intel Core i9-12900K clocked at 3.7 GHz (4 P-Cores enabled), the overclocker was able to achieve a 5275.9 MHz overclock which translates to 10,552 Mbps transfer rates. This is a 2.2 times gain over the JEDEC specified speeds for DDR5 memory which is a minuscule 4800 Mbps vs the overclock achieved. The memory clocks were maintained at 127-120-120-120-127-2 (tCAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC-tCR) and just one 16 GB DIMM was used.
The DDR5 record has been smashed!💥
ROG Maximus Z690 Apex takes yet another crown👑 with the awesome support of @IntelGaming.▶️https://t.co/AGjXYoHnS6

— ROG Global (@ASUS_ROG) July 7, 2022
It is not mentioned which specific DDR5 memory DIMM was used for this overclock. Manufacturers are expected to push DDR5 even further in the coming months with platforms such as AMD's AM5 & Intel Raptor Lake allowing support for higher memory frequencies and transfer rates. We have already seen G.Skill showcasing up to DDR5-7000 kits while others such as ADATA, T-Force, Aorus, TeamGroup, and Corsair are also working on even faster modules.
You can see the CPU-z validation and HWBOT listings at their respective links and in the pictures below:
Now you might be worrying that faster speeds will result in higher CAS latency and timings but DDR5-7000 memory is reportedly running at CL40 timings in labs so we can expect memory kits with tighter timings ready by the time these new platforms arrive. Furthermore, DDR5 and DRAM prices, in general, are falling rapidly with Micron's CEO, Sanjay Mehrotra, confirming that the supply of PMIC and VRM for DDR5 modules has increased substantially over the last few months & which can lead to a further drop in prices. Currently, DDR5 memory is priced around 40-50% higher than DDR4 memory. | https://wccftech.com/asus-rog-maximus-z690-apex-achieves-ddr5-10552-memory-overclock-world-record/ | 2022-07-07T04:44:10Z | https://wccftech.com/asus-rog-maximus-z690-apex-achieves-ddr5-10552-memory-overclock-world-record/ | false | 1 |

EAST LONDON, South Africa (AP) — The deaths of 21 teenagers in a nightclub tragedy is a crime and South African officials must increase steps to prevent alcohol from being illegally sold to youths, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said Wednesday.
“We do not know yet exactly what killed our children. But we do know that the law was broken that night, and probably many nights before then,” Ramaphosa said to more than a thousand mourners at the funeral in East London for the young people who died at a tavern nearly two weeks ago.
“We are losing our future generation to the scourge of underage drinking,” the president said, urging police to determine the exact cause of their deaths and calling on officials to stop youngsters from being permitted access to bars.
“Blame must be laid at the feet of those who are making money off the dreams and lives of the young people of South Africa by breaking the law and selling them alcohol,” he said.
Two rows of caskets in front of Ramaphosa symbolized the young lives lost.
“Today we shed bitter tears for the 21 young people that have died in this tragedy,” Ramaphosa said. “These children should not have died. Their deaths could have been prevented had the law been adhered to.”
Mournful hymns were sung by a large choir as the 19 coffins were carried into a large tent where the service was held in East London’s Scenery Park township. Two families held private burials and the service organizers said the caskets on display were empty, in respect of the wishes of some families. The children are to be buried in various cemeteries later Wednesday and in the coming days, they said.
The tent was filled to capacity so many mourners sat outside.
It’s still not known what caused the deaths of the children, one as young as 13, whose bodies were found in the Enyobeni tavern. They were under the legal drinking age of 18 in South Africa, said officials. Pathologists are studying the cause of death from blood samples. A stampede has been ruled out because the victims’ bodies did not show serious injuries, said police.
Ramaphosa delivered the eulogy as he faces several challenges including South Africa’s extended power cuts, wide-ranging allegations of corruption and questions about large amounts of cash reportedly found hidden in furniture in his own game farm.
“I have heard some say I have no business coming here to Scenery Park. Some have said I have bigger problems to fix,” Ramaphosa said to the gathering. “But I ask them, what is more important in this country, and on this earth, than the lives of our children?”
Local residents were skeptical about the calls by Ramaphosa and other officials for effective action to stop alcohol sales to youngsters.
“Whatever they said today, it is going to end today. Those are the promises they always make, especially our president. It is going to be the last day we see them,” Nwabisa Booi, a resident of the nearby Mdantsane township.
“Everybody here is hurt about what happened, but we are still looking for answers as to what happened to our kids,” said Booi.
Ntombizonke Mgangala, the aunt of 17-year-old Sinothando Mgangala who died in the tragedy, said the family had finally accepted her death.
“Honestly, we have been wishing that she could just walk through the door. We did not really believe it, like we were in denial,” Mgangala said.
“But seeing the coffin with her picture on it, it was painful and helped us to release her,” she said.
She said although many people blamed the parents when the deaths happened, it is now clear that many of the teenagers had attended the event without their parents’ consent.
“Other parents who were not affected were blaming us, saying we do not have control over our children. But it is now clear that these children do not listen to us,” Mgangala said.
“I am encouraged that those parents were here today. And many said that the tavern owners, who are also parents, should help by refusing to sell liquor to them,” she said. | https://fox40.com/news/international/ap-international/south-africa-holds-funeral-for-21-teens-who-died-in-tavern/ | 2022-07-07T05:06:29Z | https://fox40.com/news/international/ap-international/south-africa-holds-funeral-for-21-teens-who-died-in-tavern/ | true | 32 |

Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us to discuss Lulu’s fourth quarter and full year 2021 results.

With that, I’ll turn the call over to David.
David McCreight
Thank you, Naomi, and good afternoon, everyone. I am proud to address you today with my partners and Co-Presidents, Mark and Crystal. We’ve had an exceptional first quarter as a newly public company. As you know, we completed our IPO during this past fourth quarter and fully paid off our long-term debt. With that milestone behind us and a strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned to build on our momentum and success through 2022 and beyond.
During Q4, we generated $96.7 million of revenue, a growth of 77% year-over-year and our adjusted EBITDA was $6.4 million versus a deficit of about a $100,000 over prior year’s fourth quarter. For the year, our revenues increased 51% to $376 million and our adjusted EBITDA amounted to $41 million, which represented a 119% gain from 2021. We are thrilled by the tremendous growth and active customers from both new and repeat customers reaching $2.8 million. All achieved with appreciably more efficient performance marketing spend, and even more impressive is that it was accomplished despite a dramatic reduction in promotional activity.
Clearly, our brand experience combined with our efficient marketing efforts and relevant assortment is resonating with our brand fans. From a merchandising perspective, we continue to be encouraged by the broad based response to our product offerings in FY2021 with both event and non-event categories again delivering double-digit demand growth.
We have identified material ways to further expand our pivotal event dressing category, and our team continues to make inroads inner closet by evolving our non-event categories. We’re in a strong moment for LVLU where both fashion direction and her return to pre-pandemic social activities are providing helpful tailwinds and the vital new product pipeline KPI is robust and on plan for achieving our future growth targets for 2022 and beyond.
These excellent results in FY2021 underscore the attractiveness of our digitally native model, which offers fresh fashion to Millennial and Gen Z women at an affordable price point. We win brand fans and deliver strong results by using data to optimize almost all of our – almost all elements of our business. The use of data and technology guides decision making throughout the company from logistics to product planning to marketing placement, but nowhere is this more pronounced than in our product creation and curation cycle.
About 70% of our revenue is from algorithmic driven purchasing. Our tests learn and reorder approach where nearly 100% of the assortment enters as a test in small order quantities, then successful styles graduate to our reorder algorithms. Our model refined over years decreases fashion risks, reduces markdowns and drives increased profitability. We stay connected with the pulse of our customer by engaging her where she is online throughout digital channels and social media, as well as on our own platforms through reviews, feedback surveys, and one-on-one interactions with our exceptional customer service team.
The LuCrew works every day to make our customer touch points special, which ultimately leads to stronger customer engagement and loyalty and increases word of mouth introductions to a growing community of Lulu’s brand fans. I still will delve into 2022 guidance in greater detail, but I wanted to express my excitement about our outlook for this year both from financial and capability perspectives.
For FY2022, we are targeting net revenue growth north of 28% and adjusted EBITDA to rise above $48 million even while continuing to invest for growth and incurring the costs of being a newly public company. We are keenly aware of the uneasiness in the markets due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the ever present headlines about new Coronavirus strains and the mounting impact to supply chain pressures on inflation.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to address a few of the clouds over the market and how they relate to Lulu’s. Firstly, the Coronavirus. We recognize the status of the Coronavirus is ever evolving and perhaps due to increase confidence in immunities from vaccines or previous infections or general fatigue with safety protections unlike early in the pandemic, we did not notice a material change in traffic or conversion during the Delta and Omicron variant outbreak stages.
The supply chain, as many others have articulated in recent weeks, supply chains remain constraint, and we expect these constraints to continue for the balance of the year. What is so great about our market position and model is that we are not scrambling for air freight. To compensate, we now place orders about four weeks earlier than pre-pandemic times.
The additional lead time does not impact our brand as much as others because the vast majority of our orders are placed for previously tested product. Moreover, we are not a fast fashion company, so we have less product trend risk, and are less sensitive to delays. The current state of the global supply chain does however impede our ability to chase the small quantity of in season reorders for longer lead time products. But this was also the case for most of 2021, where we still posted exceptional results despite this constraint inflation.
We are aware of and have a decent line of sight into inflationary pressures impacting most lines of our P&L for the first half of 2022. We expect there to be continued pressure on shipping, labor, materials and digital marketing costs throughout 2022. Guidance we’re providing today is informed to the degree visible and accounts for those anticipated headwinds. And though, we are brand positioned in affordable luxury, our frequent testing indicates we continue to have strong product pricing power, which provides some protection for near-term inflation. And where these inflationary pressures to move from transitory to structural, we still have ample room in our business model to reduce costs in FY2023 and beyond to offset much of any of increases.
Notwithstanding those macro concerns, we are quite pleased with how the first quarter of 2022 is shaping up. Demand looks robust. Many of the metrics we monitor indicate the consumer continues the disruptive shift to digital shopping channels. And the apparel, footwear and accessory sectors seem to have regained momentum. We are pleased with the quality of our customer file and our basket economics. Based on the trends we’ve seen thus far, we have confidence in our 2022 guidance.
To deliver on our guidance and continue to delight our brand fans, I’d like to share a few of our key initiatives for the year. Customer insight, we will dedicate more resources this year to helping our decision makers better understand her mindset and desires and find new ways to delight our existing brand fans, increasing lifetime value and our first party data collection.
Next, introduce new customers to our brand. We know there are vast pools of untapped customers who have yet to meet our brand and by mining insights learn from our rigorous performance marketing testing, cautiously building awareness capabilities and encouraging more word of mouth introductions, we are optimistic about our file growth for years ahead.
Product expansion. Many of fans introduction to Lulu’s has come through event dressing and while event dressing continues to dominate mindshare when discussing our brand based on the work started in 2019 accelerated in 2020 and the results seen in 2021, we know we have – we can continue to expand successfully into non-event dressing. Not only will this provide meaningful revenue opportunity, but it will shape her engagement with the Lulu’s brand as she moves from less frequent to more frequent brand engagement occasions. Said differently, we are even better positioned to own more of her closet and engagement.
Conversion. We will invest even more in our on-site experience to improve conversion and overall customer satisfaction with deeper and more frequent conversion funnel analysis, and a goal of reducing our size out of stock ratios.
ESG. Whether it is support for women or reducing waste, social and environmental issues have always been important to our internal stakeholders at Lulu’s. In 2022, we are committed to increasing insights into our social and environmental impacts. We have already engaged third-party partners to evaluate our current practices and identify ways we can become better business stewards. We look forward to sharing our progress as we advance in our ESG journey.
Technology and innovation. We already have an impressive tech stack and analytics is part of Lulu’s DNA driving much of the decision making. But in 2022, we will invest even more in analytics, technology and machine learning to open new opportunities for revenue growth and increase our efficiency in areas like distribution allocation of marketing spend and better modeling of future product demand.
Mark Vos, our co-President and Chief Information Officer and his team have architected bunch of our approach to technology, algorithmic decisioning and distribution strategies. He will share with you our plans for further optimizing an already efficient logistic system and support continue to grow as well as increasing customer insight and engagement.
I will now turn the call over to Mark to discuss some of the key initiatives in greater detail. Mark?
Mark Vos
Thank you, David, and thank you everyone for joining us today. We are relentlessly focused on developing our infrastructure to continue supporting our long-term growth plans and continuing to delight our customers.
A key enabler of our affordable luxury positioning and customer delight is continuous improvement in our service levels and efficiency across our supply chain. In Q4 2021, we started operations from our new Lulu’s operated Southern California facility, which will be a key step in achieving these objectives.
The first milestone, which we completed in Q1 of this year was taking our vendor inbound inventory receiving and product quality control activities back in-house, as well as optimizing our shipments from Southern California, to our Northern California and Eastern Pennsylvania fulfillment centers.
We have already observed higher units per trailer shift to our fulfillment centers, which reduces the transportation cost per unit. We have also observed shorter dock to available for sale cycle times, which further improves our available time to sell a product in season and ultimately lower seasonal markdowns.
Throughout 2022, we expect to add additional logistics capabilities to our Southern California facility to further optimize inventory across our network, as well as order fulfilment and thereby improving our service levels at a lower shipping expense and environmental impact.
In Q1 of 2022, we also started our implementation of robotics in our Eastern Pennsylvania fulfillment center. Robotics will not only provide us with productivity gains, but also help us better attract and retain warehouse associates. And after a successful implementation and optimization phase, we will consider a robotics rollout in our Northern California logistics center for which CapEx budget is allocated in our 2022 guidance.
As David mentioned, we were able to deliver strong results as a result of using data to support all aspects of our business. From an assortments planning perspective, data helps us reduce fashion risk and the ensuing gross margin risk. We follow a test and learn philosophy with everything we do. And this is particularly evident in our reorders.
Q4 showed further improvements in sales attributable to reorder products compared to both 2020 and 2019, and was roughly 70% for the full year 2021. In other words, approximately 70% of our sales came from previously tested products. This high percentage of revenue generated by our reorder products allows us to place purchase orders with more optimal quantity and timelines. Reduced supply chain impacts, optimize our assortment and ultimately delight our customer.
Switching to our customers. We are very proud of the record engagement of our repeat customers in Q4, as well as all of 2021. That repeat engagement together with healthy numbers of new customers acquired in 2021 sets us up for continued momentum in 2022. Record AOVs fueled by more items per basket, as well as lower discounts and markdowns showed our customers growing desire for Lulu’s assortment.
In the fall of 2021, we launched a Lulu’s brand campaign and we gained some great learnings in new marketing channels, as well as new ad formats in existing channels. Based on brand monitoring information, our campaign resonated well with millennial women and especially well with Gen Z women. And we feel confident, we have a runway for access to untapped and engaged audiences.
Successful learnings from this campaign have been incorporated in our baseline awareness marketing program and we will continue to test and learn new marketing channels and ad formats throughout 2022.
As a reminder, and as presented in our S1 or for those that who are not familiar with Lulu’s marketing expenses and customer contribution margin over time, Lulu’s has been and is first order contribution margin profitable. In other words, our costs of acquiring a new customer is below the first order contribution margin after selling and fulfillment expenses. And despite the changes in challenges that iOS tracking limitations and privacy regulations in general have introduced, Lulu’s remains effective and efficient in attracting new customers and re-engaging existing customers.
Our proprietary data sets, tooling and analytics have continued to provide us with effective lines of site on what spent, in which channel for each audience is incrementally beneficial. As a result, our selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenue remain in line with recent years. And we will continue to iterate and adapt to try to keep it that way.
In Q4, we finalized the recent platforming of our mobile app and successfully pushed this to our customer's devices. We have been focused on further improving the customer experience and have already seen improved engagement and conversion as a result of updating the app. The immediate benefit of the app re-platform is that the personalization and product experiences in the app are now identical to the lulus.com website, which was highly desired by our customers and making for a seamless experience and reduces shopping friction.
We are very proud of our customer support team. That is always 100% focused on providing our customers the best possible experience, whether we are responding to shipment related questions or providing style and fit advice. In 2021, our customer satisfaction scores aka CSAT exceeded our 2020 scores. And top CSAT scores are not only a wonderful measurement of the Lulu's brand hug we provide our customers. They are also a leading indicator for high net promoter scores and continued customer word of mouth advertising.
Lastly, in Q1, we re-launched our Love Rewards loyalty program. Whereas our previous reward program was a coupon discount program. The new Love Rewards program is focused on rewarding customer for their engagement with Lulus. Customers can earn points through purchases, providing us with first-party data and following Lulus on various social media channels. Points earned count towards four customer loyalty levels member, insider, icon and all access. And each level has increased benefits like priority in back in stock notifications and exclusive deals.
The flexibility of our points program offers us more ways to deepen the relationship with our customers, increase customer's lifetime value and to occupy a larger share of her closet. We are looking forward to building out our loyalty program in 2022 and beyond. And now let me introduce my colleague Crystal Landsem Co-President and CFO, who will discuss the quarter in greater detail. Crystal?
Crystal Landsem
Thanks, Mark. And good afternoon, everyone. Our first quarter as a new public company has certainly been exciting for us and as expected, we're pleased to be reporting continued strong financial results. As David mentioned, we delivered an outstanding quarter highlighted by year-over-year growth, across key financial metrics, including net revenue, gross margins, profitability and cash flows.
We also set new records for the number of active customers engaging with us in the fourth quarter, as our customers returned to their social calendars and continued to come back to us for their everyday fashion needs, most reflected in our increases in average units per order, average order value and average spend per customer. During Q4, we grew our net revenue by 78% to $96.8 million, a $42.2 million increase over the same period and the prior year.
Our top line growth continues to be driven by the combination of new customers acquired and increasing loyalty from our existing customer base with an all time high number of repeat customers engaging with us during the fourth quarter. We're very proud of our large diverse community of loyal customers. In the 12 months ended January 2, 2022 we served 2.8 million active customers compared to 2 million active customers in the 12 months end of January 3, 2021. Representing growth of 38%.
Despite industry-wide supply chain challenges our business model has enabled us to continue our path of strong growth and profitability as you can see from our success in Q4. Gross margins for the fourth quarter increased 200 basis points to 44.9% driven by two key factors. First, fewer markdowns and discounts compared to last year, driving more sales at full price. And second, the reacceleration of event dressing demand coupled with accelerated demand and non-event everyday dressing categories. Along with strong customer demand, our agile merchandising process facilitated inventory turn rates at an annualized rate of over eight times. While we delivered a very strong Q4, we believe we left demand on the table, just given how quickly we turned our inventory.
Our AOV reached an all time high of $121 driven by increase items per cart as well as lower discounts and markdowns due to the lower promotional activity. With AOV increasing 22% over 2020 and 12% over 2019. Moving down to P&L to give some insights into expense line items. Our selling and marketing expenses consists primarily of marketing expenses, payment processing fees and other advertising. Q4 selling and marketing expenses were $17.7 million up $5.8 million from the same period in the prior year due to the return of online performance marketing spend to a more normalized state and in line with the increase in our net revenue. And as Mark mentioned earlier, we also launched our first ever brand awareness campaign.
General and administrative expenses amounted to $30.3 million for the quarter, an increase of $17.3 million compared to the prior year. This increase reflects higher fixed headcount costs as the previous year's costs were suppressed due to furloughs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Variable payroll and benefits expenses were in-line with higher sales volumes. Higher bonus expenses due to improve business results and an $8 million increase in equity based compensation, primarily related to stock options and special awards where vesting with a one-time acceleration triggered by the IPO.
We also began to incur increased insurance and professional service costs and other public company related expenses that we did not have in Q4 of the prior year. Interest expense fell by $2.4 million to $1.7 million. The result of paying off our long term debt with proceeds from the IPO. Following the IPO, we had $25 million of debt outstanding representing a draw against our $50 million revolver. For the quarter, we reported a loss per share of $4.69 down from a loss per share of $0.24 in the fourth quarter of 2020. Primarily due to a one-time deemed dividend due to an anti-dilution feature included convertible preferred stock and triggered at the time of our IPO.
The dilution associated with this transaction only impacted shareholders and management who held shares prior to the IPO. Removing the impact of the one-time non-cash items, the deemed dividend, $122.9 million, the stock dividend $3.5 million and other non-recurring stock based compensation of $8 million related to our initial public offering are adjusted diluted net loss per share with $0.03 for the fourth quarter. Our full year 2021 loss per share of $6.08 was greater than the prior period loss per share of $1.13.
However, removing the impact of the afore mentioned non-recurring non-cash items in connection with our IPO are adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.57 compared to the prior year adjusted diluted net loss per share of $0.13. And finally adjust the EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $6.4 million swinging to a positive from our $98,000 loss in the same period of 2020. Our Q4 adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.6% up from a 0.2% loss in the same period in 2020.
Moving on the balance sheet and cash flow statement. During the fourth quarter, we continued to invest in building up our inventory balance to better serve and meet our increasing customer demand, and to prepare for our upcoming spring and summer peak season. We completed our IPO on November 15, 2021 with net proceeds of $82 million after underwriting discounts and commissions, and other issuance costs. We repaid 100% of the long-term debt balance and borrowed $25 million against the new revolving facility. We are paying in our long-term debt positions as well to focus on our growth initiative.
We closed the year with net debt of $13.6 million comprised of a cash balance of $11.4 million and revolver balance of $25 million as of January 2. For inventory, we ended the quarter with $22 million, an increase of $5.3 million or 31% higher compared to $16.9 million at the end of Q4 2020. We're able to combine high revenue growth with fast inventory turns due to our data-driven approach to buying for both new and reorder products, and considerably reduced fashion risk as a result. In Q4 and also the full year 2021 overall, we believe our inventory turns were industry leading.
We operate a highly capital efficient business that positions us to generate significant positive free cash flow. For the year we generated $26.9 million in cash flow from operations. Capital spending for the year amounted to $3 million as we invested in equipment for our general operations, software and hardware purchases, and internally developed software.
Moving on to guidance, I’ll walk you through our expectations on the upcoming year. As we continue to build on the successes in 2021, we see tremendous opportunity for growth in the years ahead. The strong start to 2022 gives us great confidence in our ability to continue attracting new customers to our brand as well as reengaging our existing loyal customer base at even higher levels. We have deep conviction in our product merchandising model, the LuCrew, and our ability to navigate the current macro environment.
We’re accepting 2022 full year net revenues between $480 million and $490 million, which represents year-over-year growth of 28% to 30%. As you think about modeling revenue for our business in a normalized year, our net revenue is typically highest in our second and third fiscal quarters due to demand seasonality for event dressing.
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $48.5 million and $50 million, which represents growth of 17% to 21% over 2021. This equates to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.2% compared to 11% in 2021. Our adjusted EBITDA margin rate guidance captures a decrease over the prior year, primarily driven by a roughly 4 million – 4.5 million of expected incremental expenses related to being a public company for the 2022 fiscal year, compared to the less than two months of public company expenses recognized in 2021.
Our guidance targets are for a full year of 2022. However, to set expectations for modeling purposes, our quarterly adjusted EBITDA margin rates have similar seasonality fluctuations as our net revenues and will likely fluctuate above and below our full year guidance rate depending on the quarter. Additionally, we expect adjusted EBITDA margins to be somewhat lower in the second and third quarters this year, compared to the second and third quarters of last year directly related to higher public company expenses, as well as timing of expenses for infrastructure investment initiatives, which will require some redundant operations.
As a result of paying down our long-term debt following the IPO, we expect interest expense of less than $1 million for the year compared to $14.2 million last year, which included a $1.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt. We expect a weighted average, fully diluted share count of 40.6 million shares, which is higher than the prior year as the prior year included three and a half quarters of lower shares outstanding leading up to our IPO date.
This year share count includes a full year of higher post IPO share counts weighted across all four quarters. Being off the capital expenditures, I’d like to highlight the following investment areas going forward. First, we’re planning to continue investing in our logistics capabilities to even more efficiently serve our customers as we grow in scale. These initiatives include plans to continue investment in our third logistics facility, which began in Q4 of 2021. We expect some inefficiencies and distribution center operations during the first half of the year, while we continue to ramp up those operations with efficiencies and cost savings beginning in the second half of the year.
Once we’ve completed a successful robotics implementation in our e-fulfillment center, we will evaluate the return on investment and consider launching robotics in our Northern California facility.
We’re also planning to continue improving our platforms to ensure that we maintain and improve our customer-centric shopping experience and marketing personalization with investments in our customer data platform and customer insights.
And lastly, we’re planning to further invest in internal and external software and technology to enhance our operational efficiencies. With the roll out of these initiatives, we expect capital expenditures of between $5 million to $7 million for the full 2022 fiscal year.
David McCreight
On behalf of Crystal, Mark and I, we’d like to thank the LuCrew brand fans board and of course our shareholders. Without your support, we could not have delivered such a successful fourth quarter and fiscal 2021. We believe Lulu's is a high growth capital light business with fast inventory turns, a strong balance sheet and growing EBITDA. And a merchandising model that obviates much of the concerns with fashion risk. We are quite pleased with the start to the year and look forward to building new capabilities and setting new performance records in FY 2022. We have the chance to do something quite special here at Lulu's.
Thank you for your time. We will look forward to hearing your questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Mark Altschwager with Baird. You may proceed with your question.
Mark Altschwager
Thanks. Good afternoon and congrats to the – on the strong close to the year. With respect to the revenue growth guidance plus 28% to 30%, how are you thinking about growth and active customers versus revenue per customer? And then, bigger picture, back half of 2021 revenue growth was up about 16% versus 2019. So the 2022 guide implies a pretty big step up in the growth rate. Maybe just talk a little bit more about what’s giving you confidence in that acceleration?
Crystal Landsem
To say from a revenue generation perspective, we’re anticipating sales to come from both re-engagement and repeat customers because we’re seeing a very healthy improvement in that as well as the spend per repeat customer. But we’re also seeing really great trends across our new customers acquired where their average order value, average transactions per year, and basically all of the economics around how frequently they’re transacting with us is improving equally right in line with our repeat customers. So we’re seeing improvements across the board there. And from our product class expansion and our non-event classes, we’re also gaining momentum, which is driving up new PTS [ph] just across the board as well. So it it’s a combination of basically everything hitting all at once really effectively.
Mark Altschwager
That’s great. And quick follow up, just it’s great to see the healthy growth and active customers, the year end figure pretty much back in line with where you were in 2019. I believe curious how much of the growth this year was reactivation of some of the lapsed customers from COVID versus new customers to the platform?
David McCreight
It was both really like Crystal was saying, we had a slower start in 2021 due to lower inventory levels, how we got into the year, but then progressing through 2021. We clearly saw that the reengagement, as well as that new customer acquisition both performing in a healthy manner.
Mark Altschwager
Thank you. Best of luck.
Crystal Landsem
Thanks, Mark.

Our next question comes from the line of Randy Konik with Jefferies. You may proceed with your question.
Randy Konik
Hey guys, sorry. I’m an airport, but just wanted to kind of just elaborate on the inventory terms really great turns there. Crystal, you talked about leaving a little on the table, I think in the third quarter and then in the fourth quarter as well. It’s a great problem to have. How are you guys – how are you thinking about inventory kind of growth throughout the year of 2022? How do you want to think about that? And are you kind of thinking about inventory turns staying at the same rate, going down a tad or continuing to move a little bit higher. How should we be thinking about that? Thanks.
Crystal Landsem
Yes, that’s a good question. So we do have the luxury problem where we turn inventory pretty fast and we’re able to generate some pretty interesting growth rates. With that said with our test learn and reorder buying model where we’re continuously testing into slowing down our turns to capitalize on that upside and demand, but we do everything in a low risk testing way. So as we think about 2022, we do plan to slow turns, but we have this really nice problem where the more we buy, the more we sell. So I’d hate to commit to permanently slowing our turns down, but we are looking at ways to continue to push upside and growth and potentially, so those turns down a little bit.
Randy Konik
Super helpful. I guess my last question would be, if you can kind of unpack marketing a little bit more, obviously it sounds like there’s a very successful response to your first ever brand marketing campaign. So can you just give us some perspective on, different things you saw in the business related to that campaign, how you’re thinking about altering or keeping the campaign kind of the same going into 2022, you’re just – your general marketing expense levels would be helpful.
And then I think the last quarter you touched on thinking about at some point a little bit of international marketing spend. So just want to be curious about how you’re thinking about that as well. Given you’re seeing a really good response to what happened in, I guess in the fourth quarter. Thanks guys.
Mark Vos
Sure. So when it comes to the brand campaign that we started in the fall, we had, like I said, some great learnings there. And basically you can bucket those learnings in three areas. That’s learnings around content, there’s learnings around new channels, and there’s learnings around new app formats in existing channels. And the learners you’ve got to think along the lines of when, for example with content is to better understand what type and format of content works well, in which channel versus approaching generic audiences or targeted or more specific audiences. And so what we've done with that is to, to better understand also from the channels, but for example, the Brent lifts are, and applying that, and incorporating that into our – we call it our evergreen awareness marketing that we were always doing.
And in that way we have incorporated that going forward, but also obviously we will be continuing to test and learn in 2022, that that will not stop. I think the reason why we talked about a brand campaign or formulated in a brand campaign is because we were – it was really the first time for Lulu's to talk about Lulu's instead of, specifically about the products. So that was a content change that we had last year, which was like I said, very, very successful and very interesting to see how that resonated both with millennial as well as Gen Z.
David McCreight
Hey, Randy, let me add on to Mark's comments on that. As you know, we've grown primarily through a word of mouth and friends and family, and so that's still important for us and we're continuing to push on it. And we've been absolutely outstanding with our efforts in performance marketing, but based on the capital structure previously it wasn't brand building, it wasn't brand marketing, it wasn't a muscle we were able to exercise and develop. So this was really our first forays into it and still the spend year-over-year will be heavily weighted towards – if you have to think about the performance versus brand, which we're not necessarily certain we do, it still will be weighted much more of the spend with what we've been doing for years. And continuing, as Mark said to test and learn our way into those disciplines and build up the capabilities, but we're pretty happy with the response.
Randy Konik
Super helpful. Thanks guys.
Crystal Landsem
Safe travel, Randy.

Our next question comes from the line of Oliver Chen with Cowen & Co. You may proceed with your question.
Oliver Chen
Hi. Thank you. The average order value was very impressive as we look ahead, particularly as we think about new versus existing customers in any factors, do you expect that momentum to continue amongst the UPT and AUR transactions? And then on – on better modeling to predict future demand, I know you have a pretty advanced artificial intelligence bench there. So I was curious about what better modeling is feasible? And a follow up on infrastructure investments and logistics, there's a lot happening at Lulu's. What's the customer in terms of the biggest unlock as you pursue those, I assume its speed? Thank you.
Crystal Landsem
So I'll tackle the average order value question. So what we experienced was really an increase in UPTs, as well as a reduction in markdowns and discounts compared to prior years. And our expectation is that will remain relative stable. It wasn't an – I would consider a non-recurring item for last year with the exception of pushing potentially higher up UPTs around product class expansion in our non-event areas with a separate tops and bottoms and so forth. So I wouldn't – I also wouldn't expect a massive increase in AOV either as we're trying to push strategically growth in other product classes. But we're not going to be aggressively looking at pricing versus more wanting to push growth in those product class areas. So from AOV perspective, again, yes, we're expecting continued momentum, but I would temper expectations to give us some room to grow and take more mind share versus going after every dollar from our customer.
Oliver Chen
With model?
Crystal Landsem
So as it relates to modeling and being able to forecast demand. We are always evolving how we look at our business and we like to triangulate from different areas and functions within the business, whether from marketing, planning or our P&A team. And I would say its constantly evolving process as well as integrating with our data team to continue optimizing on how we can do capture that demand, especially in these challenging supply chain times but we're not as sensitive to lead times as maybe others might be. So there's – I'd say there's plenty of room for optimization. I think we're pretty good at it, but I think we can become really great at it. So I still feel it a lot of upside in that area.
David McCreight
And then your last question also as it relates to our infrastructure and investments that we're making there, it's indeed all about speed and surface levels. That's why we took essentially the activities that we had outsourced through 3PL as it relates to the receiving of our goods from our vendors, as well as the quality control back in house. So that we have essentially data sooner and can also better control essentially the outflow of product from the Southern California facility to the Northern and California and Eastern Pennsylvania facilities. And we've already seen basically faster time that that we kept products online available for sale, which is about speed. And it's also about essentially reducing markdowns ultimately because we have a longer sellable than window. And then when we add the logistics capabilities further to that facility throughout this year, then also from a fulfilling perspective, we will be closer to a nice size off the population where we deliver orders in Southern California, Nevada, and in those regions.
Oliver Chen
Thank you. Great quarter, best regards.
Crystal Landsem
Thank you, Oliver.
David McCreight
Thank you.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brooke Roach with Goldman Sachs. You may proceed with your question.
Brooke Roach
Good afternoon, and thank you so much for taking our question. I'd love to hear a little bit more about some of the trends that you've seen to date throughout 2022. I'd love to hear if you could unpack your expectations of the growth sequence for the year in a little more detail, and perhaps provide some context as to how you've seen customer engagement trend, as you've navigated the January omicron variant and also some of the rising wallet pressures that we've seen on the consumer in the past couple of months?
Crystal Landsem
So we're happy to report that we are – we're less sensitive to some of the inflation pressures that everyone is speaking about on the market. And that really comes from our affordable luxury and price value persecution from our customers. And we take a surgical approach to pricing. We always have, we always will. And in that sense, we feel we have room of course, to adjust pricing, but we're also optimizing for sell through and value perception for our customer. I can't say we're not affected by the inflation because we certainly are, but as we continue to grow and get scale and economies of scale from our purchasing process, we're possibly less exposed to that than maybe others would be. And the beautiful thing about our customer is that our, if we do change prices and we take them up a lot of times it increases sell through versus reducing it. So we're really grateful for her for that, but in that sense we're not really seeing any of those pressures. At least not to the extent that others are talking about in the market. And again, it goes back to our product, how we do our buying and how surgical we are with, with our pricing, as well as when we're bringing in inventory and at what quantities.
Brooke Roach
Great. Thank you. And then just a follow up for me on the enhanced loyalty program; I'd love to hear a little bit more about some of the early reads that you're getting from that program? And maybe the biggest opportunity that you see for that program to contribute to better consumer engagement over time? Thank you.
Mark Vos
As it relates to loyalty that has early learning's would be too early, and it literally was rolled two or three weeks ago. So I cannot speak to that. Other than that the rollout itself went successful. Our customers received it well. There were not too many questions or issues that popped up. So in that sense, we're very happy about that particular aspect. As it relates to the opportunity, yes, I think that is what we really are talking about. The previous LOVELULUS rewards program was kind of, there was not a lot of options to use that as for, for example, to broaden our customers process for example, because it was purely just transactional and discount upon oriented. And now we can truly focus on that engagement with our customers, worth wait for that engagement, whether that is buying more or buying different products or talking about us, word of mouth advertising, et cetera. So the flexibility and the opportunity that provides us to do so is what we're really excited about. And we are happy to have laid that – now that foundation on which we can build.
Crystal Landsem
And so far she's responding well to the offering.
David McCreight
Yes, she is, but if you think of, as Mark was talking about it. The early program was very transactional and this one is being the foundation's being laid so that it can become more of that brand hug and a great engagement tool that Mark alluded to where, again it also gives us a great deal, more first party data, a number of things that this is going to help us to, again from an advertising expense, loyalty tracking is going to be great for a company that's so focused on a customer. We sort of had one hand behind our back, we are not having a really robust plan. So this is Phase 1, and I suspect the plan Mark shares with you next year this time about what Phase 2 and Phase 3 look like both on the learnings, you'll see kind of morphic size pretty dramatically.

Our next question comes from the line of Lorraine Hutchinson with Bank of America. You may proceed with your question.
Alice Xiao
Hi, this is Alice Xiao on for Lorraine Hutchinson. Thanks for taking our question. Since 1Q is pretty much concluded. I know you're not guiding specifically to that, but could you please give some color on how that went? Which non-event categories have been outperforming in particular, and if 1Q trends are largely consistent with 4Q or if there's anything specific to call out?
Crystal Landsem
So generally speaking, we're all very optimistic about Q1 and things have been progressing very nicely. As it relates to product classes what, we're not sharing details in terms of overall penetration for each business, but because we're known for our dresses and more specifically event dresses. We do believe we're experiencing a bit of a disproportionate benefit from our customers return to their social calendar, especially in Q1 and as we run into Q2, that the expectation would be the same.
That said the concentration of sales from our non-events classes also increase in 2021, continue to increase and over pre-pandemic years. We're just gaining traction and building more awareness in all of our affordable luxury offering for that everyday wear. So I say, we're firing off on all cylinders. We're very optimistic about the business and things are going great.
Alice Xiao
Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of Dana Telsey with the Telsey Advisory Group. You may proceed with your question. Dana, your line is live.
Dana Telsey
Hi, this is Dana. I'm here now. Congratulations.
David McCreight
Hi, Dana.
Dana Telsey
Hi, congratulations on the nice progress with the quarter, as you think about the tech investments that you're making, what are the markers that we should be watching for that shows it's on track? How should we be evaluating it? And that, and it sounds like it's multi year. So what is the journey that we're on that? What do we accomplish this year or next year? How do you think of the markers?
David McCreight
So, and before Mark jumps in, let me just, I mean, so way we're thinking about them are we have some things we have to do structurally that add capability for growth, right? We're a high growth company and we've always sort of built just in need and just in time and along the way, Mark and team have been not only doing that, but enhancing the capability sets in those. Then there's a great deal of work and team are doing around customer insight, analytics, data analytics capability, the number of things. But I could do nothing. I'll give it short shift if I try to answer, so Mark jump in.
Mark Vos
I think it's an interesting question. I'm trying to think about the markers that you were looking for, because that's not necessarily the way I think about it. I think, well.
Crystal Landsem
Its inventory – is marketing efficiency. I mean, tech and data is an everything we do. So I would say our financial performance would be an indication of the, the advancements we're making on our tech. So…
Mark Vos
Okay, financial performance, I think that would be then, the main
Crystal Landsem
Tech supports everything we do.
David McCreight
You may see may, we believe over time through all, some of the programs we're doing. I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see, that AOV creep up beyond our current price points because we have better insights and we're going to start the offering will change the frequency purchasing over the year. You'll start to see change the sort of behavioral economics that were very from a purchase behavior for bias towards event will start to move as well. Okay.
Mark Vos
Yes. And I think the other part, is our OpEx, right? I mean the technology is really there besides on the sales side, it's also the operation side and it's really about, how do we scale more efficiently overtime? Know that's why we're introducing for example, robotics. And there's other things that we we'll be implementing in order to scale. That's more efficiently, as our volume increases.
David McCreight
Yes. And as we've learned, as we tap into these sort of the untapped pools, knowing that we're a young brand and not as well known, we may be able to scale growth faster where some people be worried so that the capabilities Mark talk about whether it could be inventory purchasing, right. But these turns, it's very hard to fulfill and have size and talks, integrity with these, blistering fast turns in the market. So those are all kinds of things you're going to see Dana markers that'll support the growth in the near term.
Dana Telsey
Got it. And then just following up on the AOV with the category extensions, how do you think about the impact on AOV and what would impact AOV the most in terms of category extensions in your view?
Crystal Landsem
I would say that the, the biggest impact is going to be UPTs what early reads are showing that see shops more of our non-events classes. We're seeing those up UPTs creep up. It's a different shopping behavior than shopping seasonally per event. And so UPTs would be the biggest, the biggest factor affecting AOV at least in the near term.
Dana Telsey
Thank you.
David McCreight
Thank you, Dana.

Our next question is a follow up from Oliver Chen with Cowen and Company. You may proceed with your question.
Oliver Chen
Hi, thanks a lot. Non-event dressing is a really nice opportunity. It continues to be, would just love some points around how that's advancing in a key focus areas. And second and finally as you bring on new customers, how are you thinking about LTV relative to CAC and the nature of that behavior, if it's interesting or relevant distinction in terms of churn and acquisition costs. Thank you.
Crystal Landsem
So our merge teams are doing an exceptional job of building out our non-event classes, and we are seeing in spite of this massive reacceleration of our events business, we are gaining share and overall contribution to our business and our non-events, we're not guiding anywhere towards actual numbers, but I will tell you, we are making strides and building out that overall concentration of non-events apparel, shoes and accessories especially compared to pre-pandemic levels
David McCreight
And something else that's going on Oliver, as we do that, if you think about our history and legacy as a company with event dressing, we had a preponderance and this is on the softer side of the question. We had a preponderance of neutral safe colors, and you're seeing the team recently begin to broaden that. And as we move into, so in it in dresses, as well as the non-event dressing we're seeing that as well. So we're learning how to outfit, we're understanding the relationships and the power of seasonal color expressions.
We also have the history of being very dominantly solid versus using print patterns, and you're going to see us grow. So when you think about the ability for us to grow in those spaces, these are real nice stages. What's so heartwarming and I guess confidence instilling is – that we're continuing to grow. And we know we have the fashion retail responders in dresses, but there are subcategories of dresses that remain on tap force as well. So again, this is going to be a great ride in big pools of resources coming in the market.
Mark Vos
And then as it relates to your question around CAC and LTV, if you look at the initiatives that we have taken and started to put ourselves on a different foundation for example, with the loyalty program when we are looking at expanding the, our assortment and getting also awareness around, the everyday where that all leads to more, more opportunities to, for our customers to engage with us. David already spoked about higher UPTs, but there's also, of course the frequency there's a higher repeat and all those initiatives are essentially driving towards a higher LTV for the customers both, sorry from a repeated apparel perspective as well.
And then as it relates to the customer acquisition cost obviously, the market is certainly influx right with all the privacy changes and iOS and tracking changes and our, it's our job to maintain. And what we will try to do is maintain that, that historical cost of acquisitions that we have had over the last couple of years, to keep that’s also going forward so that we can truly leverage the benefits of the increases of our LTV going forward.
Crystal Landsem
And we need be contribution margin profitable, on a first order. So I think, that's pretty special with Lulu’s.
Oliver Chen
Thank you.

Beauty I Tried This $10 TikTok-Viral Lip Stain, and It Lasted Through 5+ Hours of Sweating, Eating, and Drinking Even while the rest of my face melted.

If you buy something through our links, we may earn a commission. Photo: Getty Images When it comes to beauty, I will try anything once. I end up testing hundreds of products a month, but most are just meh and forgettable; the ones I remember are the few that are bad and the even fewer that are great. I know I like a product when I actually notice a hyperpigmentation serum working, friends compliment my "rich girl" skin, or I unknowingly go through tubes of lip plumper. Though with Peripera's Ink the Velvet Lip Tint, I knew it was love when I realized it didn't budge off my lips, and therefore decided I need half a dozen additional shades. While staring at the oversized basket of yet-to-try products in my apartment, I decided to reach for Ink the Velvet Lip Tint because I had been seeing it all over TikTok with users raving about the price, pigment, and lasting power. It's even Amazon's best-selling lip stain with more than 9,000 five-star ratings. In the midst of this hot and humid summer, I incorporated the Velvet Lip Tint into my routine, and my relatively high expectations set by the internet were actually met. Courtesy Shop now: $10; amazon.com I was initially surprised by the intensity of the color, so I applied two dots on my bottom lip and one on my top lip, carefully blending in the pigment with my ring finger. I did a base layer using 001, a brick red, and then used 017, a mauve dusty rose, on top to add dimension and ever so slightly mute the base pigment. For the duration of my experimentation with this lip tint, it was hideously hot in New York City — I am talking about 90-degree heat and air so humid it feels like you're always damp. After applying, I set off in the horrible heat. I got an iced latte, waited for the bus in the blistering sun, had lunch with my family, walked around, stopped by a bookstore, and returned home. When I finally confronted my sweaty reflection, I was surprised to see that my lips were still that custom shade of mauve-ish red.Some of my hair had gotten frizzy, my blush had melted and patchily settled into my cheeks, and some of my mascara had bled onto my eyelids, but my lips were intact and rouged, despite everything else looking like a melted mess. Courtesy After returning home more than five hours later. It's honestly impressive, and I'm going to continue wearing Peripera's Velvet Lip Tint both because it lasts forever and because the range of colors are great universal neutrals in line with the gym lips trend. Plus, I am a firm believer in the ingredients and innovation synonymous with Korean beauty brands like Peripera. The only thorn in the side of this rose is that the Ink the Velvet Lip Tint is somewhat drying, or at the very least, not moisturizing. Ultimately, that wasn't an issue for me since I constantly reapply salve throughout the day, regardless of what lip product I'm wearing. I also don't especially mind that singular drawback when the price tag is $10 — one third of the price of many of my usual go-tos. Although TikTok can be off the mark (like when it suggested lube in place of primer), Peripera's Ink the Velvet Lip Tint is a beloved recommendation I can fully get behind.

Northcoast basketball star, Liam McChesney was named as a power forward to Team Canada’s Men’s U23 team and made his debut July 5 at the international GLOBL JAM tournament in Toronto.
The Canadian Men’s team started the competition off strong defeating Brazil 89-75.
This was the first of three games in the round-robin format of the tournament that will determine the order of play in the semi-finals.
Twenty-year-old McChesney is one of the youngest members of the 12-player team. He was selected after attending an 11-day training camp with 22 other Men’s U23 athletes.
Hailing from Prince Rupert, McChesney played for the Charles Hays Second Secondary School Rainmakers (CHSS) for three years. In his senior year, he led the team to win the 2A high school boy’s provincial championship and was given the accolade of MVP honours.
“We actually moved him up as a junior in grade 10. So he played three years at the varsity level,” Mel Bishop, coach of the senior boy’s basketball team at CHSS told The Northern View on July 7.
“He’s a six-foot-10 kid, with a seven-foot-two wingspan, with a 36-inch vertical jump, so he has a lot of athletic ability and [is] very coachable.”
Bishop emphasized McChesney’s young age, explaining that it means he still has a couple of years to play at the U23 level.
He also noted the “tremendous” impact that having a local athlete go on to play at the national level has had on the basketball program in Prince Rupert.
During the 2021-2022 season, McChesney played 32 games for the Illinois State Redbirds where he averaged four and a half points per game. Throughout the season he made 49 of 116 or 42 per cent of shots from the field, 15 of 49 or 31 per cent from long range and 31 out of 38 throws from the free-throw line.
GLOBL JAM Tournament Schedule for Canadian Men’s U23:
July 6, 6:00 p.m. PT (Canada vs. U.S.A.)
July 7, 6:00 p.m. PT (Canada vs. Italy)
July 9, 11:00 a.m. PT (semi-finals)
July 9, 6:00 p.m. PT (semi-finals)
July 10, 4:00 p.m. PT (championship)

A Boling coach helped bring smiles and basketball knowledge to the youth of the Bahamas this offseason.
Boling girls basketball coach Jonathan Gibson spent a week teaching the youth of Nassau as part of the Basketball Smiles, which services the lower-income athletes of the island.
“It’s hard to get (other) coaches to understand (this isn’t) a vacation,” Gibson said. “We leave the hotel at 7 a.m. and we’re back at 5 p.m., and this (particular school) had no gym, we’re on asphalt (all day).”
Gibson has been doing the camp for six years. While it might sound like coaching in the Bahamas would be a dream, it’s not, there is no luxury lifestyle.
“They play on asphalt courts, it’s different. These kids come out and play. (They) don’t complain about the heat and we’ve got kids (in America), who can’t play unless it’s in the air-conditioning,” Gibson said.
Campers come from across the island to spend the week learning from the American coaches. At the camp, the coaches not only teach skills, but they share scripture and positive messages.
“We try and bring some kind of structure. We start every day with team time and thought for the day. (Kids) get a wrist band and it says self-respect on it.”
Gibson shared a story of one of the campers winning a free throw contest and was awarded a big bottle of Gatorade. The camper took one sip and went on to share the rest of the bottle with the other campers. At camp, the kids were also fed a lunch. For some, it was the only thing they had eaten that day, Gibson said.
To keep the camp free for the youth of the island, the coaches don’t receive any money.
“It’s strictly volunteer, I don’t get paid to be there, and I’ve got to pay for my own flights,” Gibson said.
Gibson estimated he raised around $2,000 to attend this year. The money raised also went towards supplies for the youth who attended in the form of food, shirts and other items.
Basketball Smiles has been providing free camps for Bahamian kids for nearly 25 years and was started by Sam Nichols, the former basketball head coach for McMurry University. The organization year-round looks for sponsors, for more information you can contact basketballsmiles@yahoo.com or visit their website at https://basketballsmiles.wordpress.com.
“You’re almost jaw dropped whenever you get there,” Gibson said. “I can tell you, but you really don’t understand until you show up that day and kids show up in crocs or sandals because they don’t have tennis shoes.”
Gibson originally found out about the camp through former Wharton boys basketball coach Matt Brown. | http://www.leader-news.com/sports/article_ba695cf4-fd6c-11ec-9f84-d74b62ed412d.html | 2022-07-07T05:37:48Z | http://www.leader-news.com/sports/article_ba695cf4-fd6c-11ec-9f84-d74b62ed412d.html | false | 2 |
Robert Griffin III still hoping for another NFL chance despite ESPN gig
Robert Griffin III still isn’t sure if he will be playing quarterback or analyzing quarterbacks when football season begins.
And that’s exciting for him.
The former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year is working as an analyst for ESPN, but he doesn’t consider himself retired despite being out of the NFL last season. Quite the opposite.
“I am ready to go right now. I train every day. I throw and workout. I know what it takes to get my body ready and I am doing those things,” the 32-year-old Griffin told KWTX News 10 in Waco, Tex. “Yes, it is a little bit tougher when you are flying around everywhere doing stuff for TV, but when you really want something, you make it work. So, if I get that call this year, next year, or five years from now I will be ready to play.”
RGIII brought his traveling dual-act to New Jersey in April, where he simultaneously conducted a pre-draft interview with Kenny Pickett while also running through drills alongside Pickett with trainer Tony Racioppi at TEST Football Academy. Pickett was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-round draft choice.
Griffin is a free agent who last played for the Ravens in 2020. He had his best seasons with Washington before he spent one year with the Browns and then mentored Lamar Jackson during Jackson’s rookie season of 2018 and his MVP season of 2019, as well as 2020.
“I still love to play,” Griffin said, “but right now I am just focused on doing the best as I can as a storyteller and giving back to football as much as I can.”
Griffin puts emphasis on the word “storyteller,” approaching athletes from having worn their shoes.
“That is a big point of emphasis for me,” he said. “I am trying to aid these guys and give back to the sport, not take away from it. It is not about me, it is about the guys that are playing.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2656426921858/robert-griffin-iii-still-hoping-for-another-nfl-chance-despite-espn-gig | 2022-07-07T05:44:38Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2656426921858/robert-griffin-iii-still-hoping-for-another-nfl-chance-despite-espn-gig | false | 2 |

A multi-parcel Midtown retail property home to Tin Roof and DawgHouse Saloon, among other bars and restaurants, has sold for about $56 million, with a development of the site's surface parking lots being eyed.
According to a Davidson County Register of Deeds document, the new owner, via three LLCs, is real estate development and investment firm Hall Capital.
The seller of the well-recognized retail real estate was Aurora PCS LLC, a New Jersey entity, which paid about $29 million in 2016.
The addresses of the 12-parcel 3.4-acre property are 112 and 118 16th Ave. S., 1529-1531-1533 McGavock St. and 1514, 1516 and 1522-1530 Demonbreun St. Some call the specific site on which the building sits “Demonbreun Hill.” The sale includes a stone American four-square building.
As noted, the just-purchased property offers large surface parking lots but does not include a building located at 1538 Demonbreun St. and housing a TailGate Brewing Company taproom.
Hall Capital, which offers both an Oklahoma City and a Nashville office, has its affiliate Hall Emery undertake development for the company.
Allie Hall, Hall Emery vice president of leasing and development, said the company anticipates the surface parking to be “poised for development in the near term, while letting the existing retail remain in place. We will be exploring those near-term development options over the next several months.”
Hall said tenants that could be affected by the near-term development operate on shorter-term leases and will not be inconvenienced by future construction work on the site.
Hall called the Demonbreun Hill property is "one of the last remaining 'gateway sites' in Midtown."
"This strategic investment is representative of our belief in and commitment to the Midtown neighborhood and the incredible potential we see in the area," she said.
Hall Capital represented itself in the transaction. The seller was represented by Roscoe High, with the Nashville office of Dallas-based CBRE.
FirstBank has provided Hall Capital three loans with a collective value of about $28 million, separate Metro documents note.
In 2013, Nashville-based Elmington Capital Group acquired the property for about $17.68 million and considered reinventing it with a multi-phased mixed-use development that could have included a grocery store (read here). ECG later sold to the New Jersey entity, which seemingly never made its plans for the site clear.
Hall said the company is not ready to note if a grocery store component might be included in any future reinvention of the site.
Hall Capital is familiar with the general Midtown area. For example, Spectrum|Emery Inc., from which Hall Emery was formed, developed the Music Row site home to mixed-use building 18th & Chet. Hall Capital sold in August that property for $78.5 million (read here). Of note, Hall Capital operates from 18th & Chet.
Similarly, Hall Emery will complete this month the development of a Music Row site with office building 17th & Grand (Above The Row).

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.
That’s why we need days like today, International Chocolate Day, to help sweeten the sour days.
That’s right, July 7 is officially International Chocolate Day – the perfect reason to indulge in a bite, a block or a bag of your favourite chocolate treats – be it a Cadbury classic or a healthier option.
They say today is chosen to be World Chocolate Day to coincide with the anniversary of the introduction of chocolate to Europe in 1550, but we don’t really need any more encouragement to partake.
Most of us eat plenty of the stuff, but when faced with a picture of a chocolate bar removed from its wrapper and cut in half, could you identify the bar simply from seeing its inside?
To find out, we’ve created the above grid of chocolate bars – which you can either have a crack at yourself or use in any future quiz nights – Zoom or otherwise – to test your contestants’ confectionery know-how.
The answers are below – and just to keep you even sweeter, we’ve thrown in a few more chocolate-y questions for good measure…
Can you guess the chocolate bars from the pictures?
Read on to find the answers…

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A police officer armed with a rifle watched the gunman in the Uvalde elementary school massacre walk toward the campus but did not fire while waiting for permission from a supervisor to shoot, according to a sweeping critique released Wednesday on the tactical response to the May tragedy.
Some of the 21 victims at Robb Elementary School, including 19 children, possibly “could have been saved” on May 24 had they received medical attention sooner while police waited more than an hour before breaching the fourth-grade classroom, a review by a training center at Texas State University for active shooter situations found.
The report is yet another damning assessment of how police failed to act on opportunities that might have saved lives in what became the deadliest school shooting in the U.S. since the slaughter at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.
“A reasonable officer would have considered this an active situation and devised a plan to address the suspect,” read the report published by the university’s Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training program.
Authors of the 26-page report said their findings were based off video taken from the school, police body cameras, testimony from officers on the scene and statements from investigators. Among their findings:
— It appeared that no officer waiting in the hallway during the shooting ever tested to see if the door to the classroom was locked. The head of Texas’ state police agency has also faulted officers on the scene for not checking the doors.
— The officers had “weapons (including rifles), body armor (which may or may not have been rated to stop rifle rounds), training, and backup. The victims in the classrooms had none of these things.”
— When officers finally entered the classroom at 12:50 p.m. — more than an hour after the shooting began — they were no better equipped to confront the gunman than they had been up to that point.
— “Effective incident command” never appears to have been established among the multiple law enforcement agencies that responded to the shooting.
The gunman, an 18-year-old with an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle, entered the building at 11:33 a.m. Before that a Uvalde police officer, who the report did not identify, saw the gunman carrying a rife toward the west hall entrance. The officer asked a supervisor for permission to open fire, but the supervisor “either did not hear or responded too late,” the report said.
When the officer turned back toward the gunman, he already gone inside “unabated,” according to the report.
The officer was 148 yards away from the door, which the report said was within the range of his rifle, and allegedly said he was concerned that an errant shot could have penetrated the school and injured students inside.
“Ultimately, the decision to use deadly force always lies with the officer who will use the force. If the officer was not confident that he could both hit his target and of his backdrop if he missed, he should not have fired,” the report read.
The report is one of multiple fact-finding reviews launched in the aftermath of the worst school shooting in Texas history.
A committee formed by Texas legislators has also interviewed more than 20 people, including officers who were on the scene, behind closed doors for several weeks. On Wednesday, the committee said Uvalde County Sheriff Ruben Nolasco has refused to meet with them and sent a letter trying to compel his testimony. Nolasco did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
It follows testimony last month in which Col. Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told the state Senate that the police response was an “abject failure.” He pinned particular blame on Chief Pete Arredondo, saying that as on-scene commander the Uvalde schools police chief made “terrible decisions” and stopped officers from confronting the gunman earlier.
Arredondo has tried to defend his actions, telling the Texas Tribune that he didn’t consider himself the commander in charge of operations and that he assumed someone else had taken control of the law enforcement response. He said he didn’t have his police and campus radios but that he used his cellphone to call for tactical gear, a sniper and the classroom keys.
According to he report released Wednesday, Arredondo and another Uvalde police officer spent 13 minutes in the school hallway during the shooting discussing tactical options, whether to use snipers and how to get into the classroom windows.
“They also discussed who has the keys, testing keys, the probability of the door being locked, and if kids and teachers are dying or dead,” the report read.
McCraw said police had enough officers and firepower on the scene of the Uvalde school massacre to have stopped the gunman three minutes after he entered the building, and they would have found the door to the classroom where he was holed up unlocked if they had bothered to check it.
A lawyer for Arredondo and a spokeswoman for the Uvalde city police department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Arredondo is on leave from his job with the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District and resigned from his position as a city councilor last week.
Public leaders, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, initially praised the police response in Uvalde. Abbott said officers reacted quickly and ran toward the gunfire with “amazing courage” to take out the killer, thereby saving lives. He later said he was misled. In the days and weeks after the shooting, authorities gave conflicting and incorrect accounts of what happened. The fallout has driven recriminations and rifts between local at state authorities. On Tuesday, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin and state Sen. Roland Gutierrez released a letter asking Abbott to move administration of a victims relief fund from the local prosecutor’s office to the Texas Department of Emergency Management. They wrote that they’ve received numerous complaints about District Attorney Christina Mitchell Busbee, “including the failure to timely deliver victim’s compensation resources to those in need.″
Busbee’s office declined to comment Wednesday.

YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — Two women are scheduled to be sentenced Thursday in southern Arizona for their conviction for illegally collecting four early ballots during the 2020 primary election.
Authorities say Guillermina Fuentes and Alma Juarez participated in “ballot harvesting.” That's a practice once used by both political parties to boost turnout but was made illegal by a 2016 state law that barred anyone but a family member or caregiver from returning early ballots for another person. It’s the only case filed so far by the state attorney general under the law.
Authorities say Fuentes ran a sophisticated operation using her status as a well-known Democratic operative in the Arizona border city of San Luis to persuade voters to let her gather and, in some cases, fill out their ballots. But the crime she admitted in court last month does not involve filling out ballots or any broader efforts.
Fuentes and Juarez each pleaded guilty to a charge of ballot abuse, acknowledging they collected early ballots for people who weren’t family members, didn’t live with them or weren’t receiving care from them.
Fuentes’ conviction was a felony, and she could be sentenced to probation or up to two years in prison, while Juarez’s was a misdemeanor. Under Juarez's plea agreement, if she has cooperated as promised she will be sentenced to probation and prosecutors will not seek jail time.
Three other felony charges against Fuentes were dismissed. Those charges had alleged that Fuentes filled out one voter’s ballot and forged signatures on some of the four ballots she illegally returned for people who weren’t family members.
Republicans who have rallied around the possibility of widespread voting fraud in the 2020 election where former President Donald Trump was defeated have pointed to the charges against Fuentes as part of a broader pattern in battleground states. But there’s no sign her illegal ballot collection went beyond the small-town politics Fuentes was involved in.
Records from an investigation by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s office show that fewer than a dozen ballots could be linked to Fuentes, not enough to make a difference in all but the tightest local races.
Investigators have said it appeared Fuentes used her position as a powerful figure in the heavily Mexican American community to get people to give her or others their ballots to return to the polls.
Fuentes and Juarez were seen with several mail-in envelopes outside a cultural center in San Luis on the day of the 2020 primary election, according to reports from investigators. The ballots were taken inside and dropped in a ballot box.
Fuentes was recorded on video by a write-in candidate who called the Yuma County sheriff.
An investigation was launched that day, and about 50 ballots checked for fingerprints, which were inconclusive. The investigation was taken over by the attorney general’s office within days, with investigators collaborating with sheriff’s deputies to interview voters, Fuentes and others.
Although Fuentes was charged only with actions that appear on the videotape and involve just a handful of ballots, investigators believe the effort went much farther.
An investigator for the Attorney General’s Office said there was some evidence suggesting Fuentes actively canvassed San Luis neighborhoods and collected ballots, in some cases paying for them.
Collecting ballots in that manner was a common get-out-the-vote tactic used by both political parties before Arizona passed the 2016 law, though Democrats used the practice more aggressively. Paying for ballots has never been legal.
The state’s ban on ballot harvesting was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last year. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Sentencing-set-for-2-in-Arizona-ballot-harvesting-17289255.php | 2022-07-07T06:12:57Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Sentencing-set-for-2-in-Arizona-ballot-harvesting-17289255.php | true | 16 |

Several Texas counties declared a local state of disaster on July 5 in Brackettville, Texas, because of the invasion on the southern border. They blame Biden’s negligent open-border policies for the catastrophe. Kinney County Judge Tully Shahan led the charge, declaring the “Local State of Disaster” because of the out-of-control invasion on the southern border. Shahan was joined by many county judges, commissioners, mayors, attorneys, and other elected officials from Terrell, another border county, and several non-border counties; Uvalde, Medina, Goliad, and Burnet.
Shahan, from Kinney County, stated other counties also plan to join the Declaration. The Declaration states that more than “3.2 million illegals have been apprehended after entering unlawfully” at the southern border since January 2021. It is stacking up to be the largest influx of unlawful entries in recorded history.
Here it is, the Declaration of Local State Of Disaster by Kinney County.
“The County Judge of Kinney County, TX, has determined that extraordinary measures must be taken to ensure the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of county residents” pic.twitter.com/2Bm349zrEK
— Matt Roy (@MattRoy_TV) July 5, 2022
Brent Smith, the Kinney County Attorney, drafted the Declaration. Smith has been following the immigration crisis closely on behalf of his county. Smith has also been vocal about a Biden administration DHS policy that allows Border Patrol to refrain from prosecuting illegal aliens accused of criminal mischief and other crimes. The little-known policy “disrupts the Texas judicial system” and leaves citizens of the state unprotected, he says.
Attorney General Ashley Moody addressed another significant change in policy in an April press release, explaining the removal of immigration judges from the “final determinations for migrants’ asylum claims.” This is a subtle but impactful change because it essentially leaves law-abiding citizens unprotected by the law.
Emotional Testimony: Local Elected Officials Plead for Help
Shahan became emotional as he explained just how bad the crisis is.
“This is real. We want America to know that this is real. This is not a photo-op today. America doesn’t know. They don’t know what’s happening here. And we’re here to try to change that. We don’t want to lose America. The Biden administration won’t do a thing about it. They could stop this thing this hour. They could stop it now.”
Person after person stood up during the 90-minute press conference. They told stories of entire communities ravaged by drug cartels, illegal smuggling of drugs and human beings, and an unprecedented and lawless “rising tide of illegal aliens” pouring over the border, only to be released and/or transported to interior communities without consequence.
Rancher and Terrell County Judge Dale Lynn Carruthers told of the troubles in her border county, consisting of “91 miles of border frontage.” A self-described Constitutional judge, she said her community’s Constitutional rights are being routinely violated.
“Terrell County is a very desolate region of Texas, and it is being invaded. We have less than 1000 residents, and every day they live in fear of the invasion. We are doing the best we can with limited manpower. Terrell County has the least to offer and the most to lose.”
County Judge Mike Bennett from Goliad County said his county, which is midway between Houston and Brackettville, “gets a lot of stopovers.”
“[We see] damaged fences, damaged private property, stolen vehicles. We are a very poor county with only two stoplights and a Sheriff’s department with only two deputies on duty at any given time. We have bailouts in our county, and it takes 150% of our Sheriff’s Department’s resources, leaving the rest of our county totally unprotected. We could hardly make budget before all this occurred. That was before it all occurred now. We’re running way behind. It’s straining our resources. This is not a situation where we’re helping these migrants come across these illegal migrants come across this is a situation where many are dying along the way. There’s a lot of carnage left in their wake.”
Mayor of Uvalde, Texas, Don McLaughlin, laid out a clear picture of the drug cartel and how it ravages communities in the state. Coyotes smuggle children and other individuals into his community, about 70 miles from the border. “We have gotten pedophiles, convicted murderers, drug dealers, gang members. It is a nightmare.”
Sheriff Coe also spoke. He is the sheriff who recently drove several undocumented detainees back to the border for release. He has been working with the Border Patrol since 1985 and says he “has never, ever seen what we are seeing today.” He also says, “border patrol is being held back and not being permitted to do their job.” Notably, the recent Supreme Court decision to end President Trump’s Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), otherwise known as his Remain in Mexico Program, has added additional strain on law enforcement at the border.
Sheriff Roy Boyd from Goliad County stated candidly that this invasion is nothing more than “slave trade.” Boyd continued:
“[The border crisis is] not immigration, this is slave trade. These individuals that are being brought to us, coming through our county and we’re intercepting; they’re not free. [They are the] property of the cartels who get them to Houston and then move them around the country where they have to work off their debt in this to the cartel, one way or another, whether that be unloading drugs, selling drugs, working in restaurants. Working in hotels or whether it be forced prostitution all across the United States of America.”
Former Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, Ken Cuccinelli stated:
“There is no ceiling on how bad [the border crisis] can get. How much death do we need to see? How much violence and destruction? How much local communities and states and our whole country have to be overwhelmed. How much do the poor in this country have to lose in opportunity before our own? The federal government and working down to the state actually take the action we have desperately pleaded for today.” He also made it clear that states have the Constitutional authority to take action to protect their citizens.
“There’s no ceiling on how bad [the border crisis] can get.”

Waiting for Governor Abbott and Attorney General Paxton
While most of those speaking at the press conference acknowledged Governor Abbott’s help, they also stated there is much more to do. The county officials want Abbott to take bolder action by declaring an invasion. They believe he can act under the constitutional authority granted unto him under Article 4, Section 7 of the Texas Constitution. Abbott also has Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution to immediately prevent and/or remove all persons invading the sovereignty of Texas and that of the United States. In addition, the Texas Constitution allows the Governor “to call forth the militia to execute the laws of the State, to suppress insurrections, and to repel invasions.” The County officials need Governor Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton to declare an invasion at the border because it will otherwise be very difficult to execute the Declaration on a meaningful scale.
A February 7, 2022 opinion from Arizona’s Attorney General Mark Brnovich affirmed that the border crisis meets the criteria for a legitimate invasion that impinges on American citizens’ sovereign rights and security. Russ Vought, President of Citizens For Renewing America (CFRA), is a strong proponent of the Declaration. He and Cuccinelli have asked Governors Abbott and Ducey to promote states’ rights to protect their borders from invasion as they are the only remedy that remains to curb the massive influx of illegals. Vought and Cuccinelli issued a joint statement praising the officials’ Declaration.
HUGE.
Our constitutional solution to the border crisis is live!
For the first time in U.S. history an INVASION has been declared (outside of Congress) by several counties in Texas.

In April, Abbott approved the “transfer of $495.3 million to continue funding Operation Lone Star” to help fund efforts to manage the invasion. However, as many at the press conference stated, his action has fallen short of the remedy needed to solve the dire border problem. Neither Abbott nor Paxton have responded to the pleas.
As Sheriff Boyd stated, “Abbott threw us a lifeline when we were drowning. We appreciate everything he has done. But the tide is rising, the work is increasing, and the invasion is continuing.” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX21)) agrees. He says people are coming in unlawfully only to be released into the interior without repercussions. Roy said states need to “step into the breach” because of the federal government’s “refusal to defend our sovereign nation from cartels who are well-armed.” Roy continued:
“You’re damn right this is an invasion. We can sit around and hand-wring and wrap [ourselves] around the axle about the definition of invasion. But these individuals have the courage to stand up and the courage to say it, formally—to formally declare it is true. We are having an invasion.” | https://uncoverdc.com/2022/07/06/texas-counties-declare-local-state-of-disaster/ | 2022-07-07T06:16:38Z | https://uncoverdc.com/2022/07/06/texas-counties-declare-local-state-of-disaster/ | false | 1 |
The woods have been closed for safety reasons after being significantly damaged in the series of storms earlier this year.
However, members of the public continue to disregard safety and closure signage and enter the woodlands resulting in considerable delays as FLS machine operators need to stop all works until those people have left the site.
Fiona Robertson, area Visitor Services manager, said: “We understand that people want to enjoy the great weather and enjoy a relaxing, soothing stroll in the woods but arriving at a destination that is closed because of storm damage is not helping anyone.
“The amount of damage that we have had to deal with at a number of locations is taxing our resources but we are making steady progress.
“We’re aiming to re-open enough of the woods to allow safe access to Scolty Hill within two to three weeks but this is not going to happen if we are continually having to stop work.
“Please avoid Scolty Woods for a while longer and we’ll be able to get the clear-up work completed much sooner.”
Some forests and car parks will remain closed for some time until the health and safety risk from fallen trees and storm debris is cleared and forest access made safe.
Members of the public are advised to check forestryandland.gov.scot for the latest updates on which forests in the area are open. | https://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/reminder-to-steer-clear-of-scolty-woods-3757634 | 2022-07-07T06:19:58Z | https://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/reminder-to-steer-clear-of-scolty-woods-3757634 | false | 2 |

The Cristiano Ronaldo RIDDLE: Man United do not know when the veteran superstar will return after granting him compassionate leave, while Chelsea owner Todd Boehly considers a bid
Cristiano Ronaldo has been given compassionate leave by Manchester United as his future at Old Trafford hangs in the balance.
Ronaldo did not report for pre-season training on Monday due to ‘family reasons’ which have been accepted by the club, and he remains in Lisbon.
Sources said the circumstances surrounding Ronaldo’s absence mean United don’t know when the 37-year-old will return, or even if he will go on tour to Thailand and Australia with the rest of the squad on Friday.
United insist Ronaldo is not for sale but Chelsea and Napoli have expressed an interest with his agent Jorge Mendes following talks.
New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is understood to be considering a bid as he looks for a replacement for £97.5million flop Romelu Lukaku, though head coach Thomas Tuchel is thought to have reservations about Ronaldo.
There was some better news for United on Monday after it emerged that former Tottenham and Inter Milan star Christian Eriksen has agreed to join the club as a free agent on a three-year deal.
United hope to sign Eriksen and Feyenoord left back Tyrell Malacia for £12.9m before going on tour, and remain in talks over Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong and Ajax’s Argentina centre back Lisandro Martinez. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2656407092537/the-cristiano-ronaldo-riddle-man-united-do-not-know-when-the-veteran-superstar-will-return-after-granting-him-compassionate-leave-while-chelsea-owner-todd-boehly-considers-a-bid | 2022-07-07T06:23:08Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2656407092537/the-cristiano-ronaldo-riddle-man-united-do-not-know-when-the-veteran-superstar-will-return-after-granting-him-compassionate-leave-while-chelsea-owner-todd-boehly-considers-a-bid | true | 1 |
SpiceJet MD says will be 'doubly careful' after DGCA issues show cause notice over multiple technical snags
SpiceJet latest update: After DGCA issued a show-cause notice to the airline following eight technical malfunction incidents, company's CMD has said they will be more careful with the condition of aircrafts.
- SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Dubai was diverted to Karachi recently
- This is the 8th such incident in the last 18 days
- DGCA has issued show cause notice, investigating all the matters
Trending Photos
On the day DGCA issued a show-cause notice to SpiceJet following eight technical malfunction incidents in the last 18 days, company's CMD Ajay Singh said they will now be "doubly careful" and strengthen inspection of aircraft before they leave to operate flights. "We will work with them (DGCA) to ensure that if they feel that there are any gaps at all in our system, we will address them. There is nothing more important than safety," Singh said. He further stated that these things are going to happen and the job of the company is to minimise that to the greatest extent possible. "That is our job and it is the regulator's job to push us to make things better, which we will do," he said.
He said none of the incidents that have happened in the last few weeks had anything to do with shortage of spare parts. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), in its show-cause notice, mentioned the financial audit of SpiceJet in September 2021 according to which the airline is not paying component vendors regularly and that has led to a shortage of spare parts.
"This is an audit that they are referring to from last year (September 2021) that they had done. The aviation sector has been under a great deal of (financial) stress. That does not mean that there can be any compromise on safety," he explained. "All vendors that are relevant to anything related to safety or spare parts are always paid or settlements are reached with them. There is no failure here," Singh added.
#SpiceJetStatement: SpiceJet is in receipt of the DGCA notice and will be responding within the specified time period. We are committed to ensuring a safe operation for our passengers and crew. >> — SpiceJet (@flyspicejet) July 6, 2022
He said a lot of these incidents that are being reported are relatively minor in nature and happen to every airline. "This is nothing unique," he added. When you have thousands of flights, sometimes the air conditioning will fail, sometimes a bird will hit the plane, and sometimes a fuel indicator will light up, the airline's CMD explained.
Asked what changes SpiceJet will now undertake to deal with the safety concerns, Singh said, "We have to be doubly careful. We will rigorously inspect aircraft when they leave for a flight, which we already do, but we will strengthen the inspection."
On the point that the DGCA is showing concern now because the incidents have happened in a short period, he said, "As an airline, we have to look into the average number of incidents that are happening every month."
"Then you have to take out the incidents that are happening due to external circumstances such as bird hit, and then analyse the remaining the other incidents," Singh noted. "It seems to us that there is no particular increase in those (other incidents) if you look at the monthly data, which we have done, for the last two years," he said.
According to Singh, in general, incidents have shown a declining trend, but of late, there has been much more publicity around these incidents. "The media is well within its right to publicise but please be aware that every airline is having incidents. Every airline reports incidents on a daily basis," he said.
"When you have a few thousand flights every day, there are going to be some incidents and every airline is going to have them," the SpiceJet CMD noted. He said SpiceJet has asked the DGCA to take a look into the working of the airline because the processes that it follows have been audited several times by the regulator and in the 15 years that SpiceJet has flown, there has been nothing significant that has really transpired on its aircraft.
He said, "We will make any change or modification that we think might be even more effective to run even a safer operation. That is a continuous process. That is nothing to do with what has transpired in the last few days."
In its show-cause notice to SpiceJet, the DGCA said the airline has failed to "establish safe, efficient and reliable air services" under the terms of Rule 134 and Schedule XI of the Aircraft Rules, 1937.
On Tuesday, the airline's Delhi-Dubai flight was diverted to Karachi due to a malfunctioning fuel indicator and its Kandla-Mumbai flight did priority landing in Maharashtra's capital city after cracks developed on its windshield mid-air.
In another incident on Tuesday, a SpiceJet freighter aircraft, which was heading to Chongqing in China, returned to Kolkata as the pilots realised after the take-off that its weather radar was not working.
The airline has been making losses for the last three years. It incurred a net loss of Rs 316 crore, Rs 934 crore and Rs 998 crore in 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 respectively.
