Boris Johnson first caught the public's eye in 1998 while he was still working as a journalist and had a guest spot on the popular BBC One panel show Have I Got News For You.
The TV studio audience and viewers at home saw that shock blonde hair and famous Bertie Wooster bluster for the first time and lapped it up, watching the clip back now you can see the seeds of both his success and his failure.
He mumbles, jokes and laughs at himself - giving an air of authenticity and charm. But the subject matter of his interactions with Ian Hislop are anything but pleasant, the Private Eye editor lightly grills Johnson over a now famous recording in which he agrees to help get a journalist friend attacked over a story.

As has so often been the case in his long career we have two Johnsons, the boosterish buffoon - happy to perform for the cameras and in the Commons chamber, and the brutal Machiavellian who will do anything it takes to further his career.
It was for that reason he abandoned newspapers, he famously quipped to a colleague before running as a Tory MP - "no one puts up statues to journalists".
But his wasn't a smooth path to the Number 10 door. After getting elected in 2001, Johnson quickly began to climb the Tory ranks - then leader Michael Howard deemed him to be the most popular Conservative politician with the electorate and appointed him vice-chairman of the party. In his Shadow Cabinet reshuffle of May 2004, Howard appointed Johnson to the position of shadow arts minister.
Johnson was unceremoniously sacked however, after details of an affair were published. Like so often has been the case, he denied the story, then obfuscated, before eventually admitting it after it was proven beyond doubt. Howard asked Johnson to resign, he refused and was then sacked - sound familiar?
Johnson's rise continued however, in 2008 he became London Mayor - no mean feat in a traditionally Labour city. This victory and his subsequent re-election in 2012 cemented his status as an election winning machine, the great blonde hope of the Tory party. But along the way he picked up more scandal, there were more widely reported affairs and allegations of impropriety - but Johnson was able to duck and dive.
A key moment that will define him is of course Brexit. Being a Machiavel, Johnson famously wrote out two letters in the month preceding the referendum vote, one backing Britain's exit and another arguing we should remain. In the end, he took a calculated gamble and plumped for Leave, becoming the poster boy for the campaign. As has widely been documented, Johnson didn't believe Leave would win - his decision was based more on winning over sections of the Tory party to aide his ambition to one day be Prime Minister.
After David Cameron's exit, Johnson was the favourite but his hopes were famously dashed after backer Michael Gove withdrew support at the eleventh hour. What followed was a brief stint as foreign secretary in Theresa May's Government. During that time Johnson managed to cause an international storm after suggesting charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was then imprisoned in Iran, was a journalist - making her release more difficult. He also caused outrage after reciting lines from Rudyard Kipling's poem Mandalay while visiting a Myanmar temple, the British ambassador, who was with him, suggested it was "not appropriate".
Eventually, Johnson returned to the backbenches in protest over the Brexit negotiations. In the year that followed he and his supporters threw stones from the sidelines and ultimately toppled May's Government. He swept to power in July 2019 promising an oven ready Brexit deal and pledged to level up our towns and cities.
The collapse of the administration in Stormont and continued difficulties with the Northern Ireland Protocol clearly demonstrate that not to have been the case. On levelling up, many of the most deprived areas have missed out on funding and on transport Northern Powerhouse Rail has been scaled back.
With most of his big projects undelivered, Johnson's government will likely be remembered for two things, Brexit and the scandals. We've had Wallpapergate, Partygate, the Owen Paterson affair, the Chris Pincher affair, the illegal prorogation of Parliament and that's before the Covid inquiry has even started taking evidence. It's important to reflect that as that first Have I Got News For You appearance shows, Boris Johnson hasn't changed, it's just that the audience has.

Our Lady & St Chads Catholic Academy, Aldersley High School and Moreton School will take part in the Raytheon Technologies Quadcopter Challenge.
With 92 teams, 41 schools and Air Cadet groups and over 500 students involved, the challenge will now progress to its regional finals.
Now in its eighth year, the Raytheon Technologies Quadcopter Challenge encourages students to put sustainability at the forefront of their minds as they look to create quadcopters reflective of arising sustainability challenges.
Following a successful pitch to a team of local industry experts, students from the schools will be tasked with building and flying their quadcopters for a chance to compete at the regional finals.
Guided by Raytheon Technologies STEM ambassadors, students from across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are asked to use their science and math’s skills to design a four-bladed, remotely piloted air system – known as a quadcopter.
This year’s theme will encourage students to build a business case during the initial design phase that describes how they are reducing the amount of material used in the initial design; how they’ve taken into consideration the supply chain implications to choose conscious suppliers; and how materials could be used for future quadcopter developments and iterations.
"The aim of the Quadcopter Challenge is to excite and re-engage young people in learning by giving them the opportunity to test and apply their skills to activities outside of their usual curriculum,” said Alex Rose Parfitt, engineering director, Raytheon UK.
"There is no denying that we all need to do our bit to save the planet and that’s why this year’s theme, Sustainability, is so important to get the next generation to think about the most sustainable practices moving forward." | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2022/07/07/wolverhampton-pupils-in-quadcopter-challenge/ | 2022-07-07T10:53:33Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2022/07/07/wolverhampton-pupils-in-quadcopter-challenge/ | false | 2 |

Northgate Market Files Lawsuit Seeking to Block Workforce Multifamily Housing Development in the City of Riverside
The recent legal action filed by family-owned Hispanic supermarket Northgate Market is in the middle of a housing crisis.
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, July 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, will hear an appeal from a lower court’s ruling enjoining a 450-apartment unit project known as Magnolia Flats, located adjacent to Northgate Market in Riverside, California. Northgate Market filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent the housing from being built because it would (allegedly) interfere with its delivery trucks which currently drive through an easement-protected drive aisle between Northgate and the housing site sought to be developed. The Magnolia Flats developer has stated that the project has accommodated Northgate’s desire to drive their delivery trucks across the Magnolia Flats development site with multiple ingress and egress options.Magnolia Partnership LLC (“Magnolia”) is the owner of 16 acres of mixed-use zoned property at 10481 Magnolia Avenue, Riverside, California (the “Magnolia Property”). Magnolia purchased the Magnolia Property to construct an attractive mixed-use commercial development consisting of desperately needed workforce multifamily housing (450 apartments) and 9,000 square feet of retail space (the “Magnolia Project”). Magnolia’s goal in developing the Magnolia Project is to provide much-needed workforce housing for hundreds of middle- and lower-income families in the Riverside community. This new multifamily housing development would also greatly help the City of Riverside achieve compliance with the State of California’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”) requirements. The City of Riverside is required to provide a minimum of 18,415 new housing units for the 2021-2029 Housing Element Cycle. An added benefit of the Magnolia Project would be additional customers frequenting the businesses surrounding the Magnolia Property, businesses which include the proposed Northgate Market grocery store. However, Northgate seeks to block the development of the Magnolia Project because of purported easement and access concerns.
Magnolia went through an arduous two-year process designing and entitling the Magnolia Project which culminated with the Magnolia Project recently being approved by the City of Riverside. The City’s approval incorporated review of noise and drive aisle design considerations, which are governed by State of California CEQA and City of Riverside code. At the time the Magnolia Project was approved, it was the largest multifamily housing community recently approved by the City of Riverside. Unfortunately, on September 14, 2021, Northgate Gonzalez, LLC (“Northgate Market”) blocked the development of the Magnolia Project by filing a lawsuit against Magnolia and Realm Real Estate, LLC (“Realm”) (Northgate Gonzalez, LLC v. Realm Real Estate, LLC; Magnolia Partnership, LLC, Case No. CVRI2104149). The Complaint filed by Northgate Market also named Wilson Holdings, L.P. (“Wilson”), a real estate entity owned by Scott Bell of ICI Development Company, Inc., and Los Altos XXVII, L.P. (“Los Altos”), a real estate entity owned by Northgate Gonzalez RE, LLC, of whom Oscar Gonzalez, Co-President, Chief Operating Officer, and Owner at Northgate Market and Carl Middleton are members, as plaintiffs. According to the Complaint, Wilson and Los Altos own the property where the Northgate Market is located (the “Northgate Property”).
In its Complaint, Northgate Market alleges a technicality that development of the Magnolia Project violates a 1979 easement agreement between the Northgate Market and Magnolia Project properties. Northgate Market alleges that the land must be used for shopping center and commercial purposes. Previously, a Toys-R-Us was operated on the Northgate Property and a GEMCO was located on the Magnolia Property (both Toys-R-Us and GEMCO closed their stores leaving the vacant site a blighted and underutilized eyesore).
Concurrently with the filing of its Complaint, Northgate Market also applied for and was granted a preliminary injunction enjoining (blocking or prohibiting) the Magnolia Project, the largest multifamily housing community recently approved in the City of Riverside. Thus, pending the outcome of the ongoing litigation, development of the Magnolia Project is on hold. In the interim, Magnolia and Realm have appealed the preliminary injunction on the basis the easement agreement's purpose is for ingress, egress and parking, and contains no use restrictions, maintaining the mixed-use commercial multifamily Magnolia Project is definitionally in compliance with the commercial language of the easement agreement. Northgate Market has not yet responded to Magnolia’s appellant brief. Additionally, Magnolia has filed a Cross-Complaint against Northgate Market.
Shockingly, in their Cross-Complaint, Magnolia alleges that prior to the lawsuit being filed by Northgate Market, representatives of Northgate Market, Wilson, and Los Altos made demands for substantial money from Magnolia. The Cross-Complaint alleges, “On or about January 29, 2019, representatives of Plaintiffs and Cross-Complainant [Magnolia] met in Newport Beach to discuss Cross-Complainants’ project. Plaintiffs’ representative Scott Bell opened the meeting by stating ‘This is going to cost iStar a lot of money!’” According to the Cross-Complaint, at the time Mr. Bell made these comments, iStar was the owner of the Magnolia Property. Tellingly, it appears that based on the timeline of events as described in the Cross-Complaint, the monetary demand made to Magnolia precedes the filing of Northgate Market’s Complaint to enjoin, or block, development of the Magnolia Project. This begs the question, was the lawsuit filed simply to use obstruction of the approved Project to “exact” a substantial monetary payment?
Darrin Olson, a representative for Magnolia, says “Northgate Market’s decision to file suit to oppose the City approved development of 450 housing units is unfortunate given that housing is desperately needed in the State of California and the City of Riverside. From the inception of the Magnolia Project and through today, the development team has taken great efforts in designing the mixed-use commercial and multifamily development to be harmonious with the easement and integrated with its neighbors such as Northgate Market, while going above and beyond in designing the Magnolia Project in a manner that addresses and alleviates those concerns voiced by Northgate Market, including delivery truck circulation.” Mr. Olson further states: “Words cannot describe how disappointed we are in Northgate Market’s opposition to a much needed 450-unit multifamily workforce housing development project. These same residents of our proposed apartment development are likely customers of Northgate Market. Magnolia just wants to improve our community by providing desperately needed workforce housing in the area.”
Mr. Olson continues, “The City of Riverside describes its vision of Riverside as ‘the place where the American Dream is realized. A place where regardless of income level, people are able to find distinctive, special places to live.’ The Magnolia Project is designed with the goal of providing such housing in order for the City to realize that vision and furnish that dream. Sadly, Northgate Market does not share the same dream or vision and is hell-bent on stopping the development of more workforce housing.”
Notably, the developer behind Magnolia Flats has successfully developed other architecturally appealing multifamily projects in the Inland Empire that provide significant housing enhancements to communities. For example, “Mission Lofts” is an attractive 212-unit apartment community located in Riverside’s Eastside, a Hispanic neighborhood, whereby a blighted, Metrolink adjacent, commercial site was redeveloped into workforce housing. Additionally, “Monterey Station” is a 349-unit apartment community that was developed by the owners of Magnolia and completed in downtown Pomona. Similar to the Magnolia Flats and Mission Lofts developments, the Monterey Station project site was a blighted commercial area near downtown Pomona and next to the Metrolink station, before being developed into new workforce housing for hundreds of families.
Similar to Mission Lofts and Monterey Station, the owners of Magnolia are seeking to enhance and provide the much needed 450-unit workforce multifamily housing in Riverside on a blighted site.
About Magnolia Partnership and Its Investors:
They have completed over $20.7B in multifamily value-added transactions since 1996, including 350 multifamily community acquisitions and 90,000 units as well as numerous developments.

Wales have made just one change to the starting XV for the second Test against South Africa, with Alex Cuthbert replacing Josh Adams on the wing.
Last week's game came too early for the Ospreys winger, who had been battling a back niggle. Adams started the 32-29 defeat at Loftus Versfeld but looked a little off the pace himself, playing his first game in three months after suffering a knee injury.
Another notable change sees Sam Wainwright, who has not started a game of professional rugby, come onto the bench for the injured Tomas Francis.
What do you think of the team? Have your say in the comments below and chat to rugby writers Matthew Southcombe and Ben James throughout the day
Outside of the one change, Pivac has plumped for exactly the same run-on side that got agonisingly close to history in Pretoria last time out. It means Liam Williams and Louis Rees-Zammit, who scored two tries and picked up a yellow card last weekend, join Cuthbert in the back three.
The midfield duo of George North and Nick Tompkins are afforded some much needed consistency of selection as they look to form a partnership that could carry through until next year's Rugby World Cup. Skipper Dan Biggar is joined once again by Kieran Hardy at half-back.
In the back-row, Tommy Reffell gets the opportunity to go again after a sublime debut in hostile circumstances, with the experienced duo of Taulupe Faletau and Dan Lydiate going again.
The front five has also been retained, with Gareth Thomas, Ryan Elias and Dillon Lewis having another crack at the Boks, after handling their first choice trio admirably last time out. Will Rowlands, Wales' standout performer at Loftus, goes again with Adam Beard, meaning Alun Wyn Jones is on the bench for a second week running.
There are three changes on the bench, where Wyn Jones, who was described as a week short of fitness seven days ago, comes in for Rhys Carre and the uncapped Wainwright makes his debut after Francis was sent home following a concussion he suffered in the first Test.
Despite Wainwright's limited experience, forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys has insisted he is confident the 24-year-old can handle what is about to come his way. The other change sees Adams take the place of Owen Watkin in the No.23 jersey.
"Alex Cuthbert has been training really well. He’s six foot four, good in the air and runs all day. I think there will be plenty of aerial battles," said Wales boss Pivac.
"Sam Wainwright has been very excited to join us. From day one he’s been training really well. I know he’s over the moon at his selection in the match day 23 and his family are over here so he’s looking forward to a big day.
"It was a great atmosphere last week and we’re expecting more of the same from the crowd in Bloemfontein this Saturday."
South Africa, meanwhile, have made 14 changes to their starting side, with Eben Etzebeth the only survivor, as head coach Jacques Nienaber experiments with his squad ahead of next year's Rugby World Cup. There are six uncapped players in the hosts' 23, with the captaincy being passed to fly-half Handre Pollard.
Wales: Liam Williams; Louis Rees-Zammit, George North, Nick Tompkins, Alex Cuthbert; Dan Biggar (C), Kieran Hardy; Gareth Thomas, Ryan Elias, Dillon Lewis; Will Rowlands, Adam Beard; Dan Lydiate, Tommy Reffell, Taulupe Faletau.
Reps: Dewi Lake, Wyn Jones, Sam Wainwright, Alun Wyn Jones, Josh Navidi, Tomos Williams, Gareth Anscombe, Josh Adams.
South Africa: Warrick Gelant; Kurt-Lee Arendse, Jesse Kriel, Andre Esterhuizen, Aphelele Fassi; Handre Pollard (C), Jaden Hendrickse; Thomas du Toit, Joseph Dweba, Trevor Nyakane; Eben Etzebeth, Marvin Orie; Marcel Coetzee, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Evan Roos.
Reps: Malcolm Marx, Ntuthuko Mchunu, Vincent Koch, Ruan Nortje, Rynhardt Elstadt, Deon Fourie, Grant Williams, Damian Willemse.

IEBC commissioner Abdi Guliye: If I Knew What This Job Entails, I Wouldn't Have Applied
Being the referee in a match pitting bitter rivals or a derby match has never been a walk in the park for most officials.
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioner Prof Abdi Guliye has expressed his regret at ever applying for the position.
During the commission's press briefing on Thursday, July 7, Guliye said the life of an IEBC commissioner is always in jeopardy until he regrets applying to fill up the position.
The commissioner said they have to persevere while their names are dragged through the mud on various allegations.

Usalama wako pia unakuwa hatari...unapakwa matope hadi unashangaa kama huyu ni wewe..lakini lazima tuvumilie (Had I known what I was getting into I wouldn't have applied. People look at your community and conclude that you are trying to favour your people. Your security is always at risk while your reputation is soiled until you remain to wonder if they are talking about you. But we must persevere)," said Guliye.

Politicians are cunning
He further stated that politicians could not be trusted, explaining that to the public, they demand free and fair elections but secretly reach out asking to be favoured.
Guliye lamented that they are forced to live in isolation to avoid being seen in the company of politicians as it would be interpreted to mean you are helping them rig election.
"Wanasiasa ni wakora sana, machana wanasema tunataka kura ya haki kisha usiku wanakuja wanasema tunataka utusaidie...inabidi sisis tuishi in isolation sababu ukionekana na mwanasiasa fulani inakuwa wewe unawasaidia.( Politicians are very cunning. During the day, they demand a fair election but at night come seeking to be favoured. We're forced to live in isolation because when you are spotted with any politician, it is said you are trying to help them)," added the commissioner.

LONDON and MIAMI, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TympaHealth is pleased to announce Lord David Prior as their Chairman. David comes with many years of experience in health and banking. He has recently stepped down as Chairman of the UK National Health Service (NHS), a position he held from November 2018 – April 2022. Before that, he was a Minister in the Department of Health, Chairman of the Care Quality Commission, and Chairman of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. He still serves as Deputy Chairman of Lazard in London and chairs the Cambridge Life Sciences Council.
David first became aware of TympaHealth a few years ago as a trailblazing NHS spin-out company and one of the case studies for the NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur Program. On meeting Dr. Krishan Ramdoo, an NHS ENT Surgeon, he was inspired by Krishan's vision to digitise the ear and hearing care pathway and take services safely out of the hospital setting into the community.
"We are thrilled to welcome David as our Chairman. He brings invaluable experience at a pivotal time for us as a company. Tympa has supported more than 200,000 patients to date and is now nearing 12,000 patient interactions per month through multiple sectors. David will help us develop and drive continued growth, not only in the UK but as we take the next steps into the US market and global stage." – Dr. Krishan Ramdoo | CEO TympaHealth
David said, "I am absolutely delighted to be joining the Tympa team to help them in this growth phase of their journey. They have developed exciting, world-class British technology which I am delighted to support. I am equally proud that it is a company born out of the NHS, one of the world's greatest universal healthcare systems".
Lord Prior joins an impressive team of investors, entrepreneurs, and executives backing TympaHealth as the next-generation platform for hearing care and wellness. "We're excited to have Lord Prior's leadership as Tympa builds on the tremendous clinical and patient-driven adoption to date," said Jim Breyer, CEO & Founder of Breyer Capital and a globally recognized technology investor who participated in Tympa's most recent financing. "David's experience in leading the NHS and its efforts to expand community access to care aligns well with Tympa's mission to improve hearing health awareness, access, and treatment globally."

Dems want to tax high earners to protect Medicare solvency
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats want to boost taxes on some high earners and use the money to extend the solvency of Medicare. It’s the latest step in their attempt to craft a scaled-back version of the economic package that collapsed last year and then push it through Congress this summer. Democratic aides tell The Associated Press they expect to submit their Medicare plan to the chamber’s parliamentarian in the coming days. They’ve already done that with other provisions aimed at reducing prescription drug costs. It’s the latest sign that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia are moving toward a compromise. | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/07/07/dems-want-to-tax-high-earners-to-protect-medicare-solvency/ | 2022-07-07T11:26:41Z | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/07/07/dems-want-to-tax-high-earners-to-protect-medicare-solvency/ | true | null |

Following a short rainy season, which was spent at home listening to new Japanese music, we now have the Japanese summer with its abundance of happy-go-lucky mosquitoes and treacle-like humidity. This also means staying inside under the cool air-conditioner to listen to more music.
So, let’s look at the best new Japanese album releases from the past month, including a swathe of electronic goodness. We begin, though, with the incredibly summery new record from Shintaro Sakamoto.
Shintaro Sakamoto — Like a Fable
Veteran Japanese musician, Shintaro Sakamoto, is still going strong since disbanding his cult band Yura Yura Teikoku. His latest album, Like a Fable, coincides nicely with the rising temperatures in Japan. It’s perfect for hot summer nights.
The opener, “That was Illegal” is a slow chugging number, complete with a trumpet, plodding along over Sakamoto’s half-spoken vocals. The album gets into more upbeat territory with the next song that could easily be a brass-band number. “You Still OK?” features slack guitar and foreground percussion with snappy hi-hats. Sakamoto’s vocals groove along upbeat, joyously asking “Are you OK?”
The title track transports the listener to a Hawaiian beach. Repeated backing vocals croon over the hula rhythm and funky bass as Sakamoto paints the picture of an idyllic story-like romance.
Elsewhere we see harmonicas in “Sad Errand,” a subdued Sakamoto on “Star” and a wiggle-inducing maraca jazz rhythm and sax on “Thickness of Love.”
It’s hard not to draw comparisons to Sakamoto’s contemporary, Haruomi Hosono. Putting them onto the same playlist is an obvious thing to do. And recommended. This is perfect for holidays and relaxing in the evenings.
Zombie-Chang — Stress de Stress
Stress de Stress is the fifth album in Meirin’s kooky Zombie-Chang project. Following on from previous lockdown album Take Me Away, it’s her hardest album yet and references various personal lockdown projects from Nintendo to knitting.
Starting with “Switch,” the album begins as it means to go on. With hard, club-focused drums taking precedence over vocals which act simply as a sample with an ultimatum to dance, the opening track takes no prisoners.
Next up is “No Toierugenki,” a donkfest, reminiscent of old-school raves in the fields while Thatcher was in power. On first listen, the music is easily a dancefloor-made banger, but the lyrics — touching on mental health and the ability to speak about what is wrong, betray a wish to speak to her younger audience.
The lyrics in “Stress” and “T’inquiete Pas” also touch upon mental health and emotional struggles which makes us wonder how Zombie-Chang’s lockdown experience played out.
The songs themselves are hard and the album is a far cry from her original incarnation nearly seven years ago, when we saw cutesy, acoustic kookiness. Now we have a Zombie-Chang with increased clubbing experience and a desire to create songs for the new clubbing generation.
In Japan, in particular, clubbers have shown a particular fondness for hard style raves and no-holds-barred clubbing since restrictions have eased. This is an album that speaks directly to those people. It even distributes advice for the inexperienced, recasting Zombie-Chang as an unlikely clubbing senpai.
MIRA新伝統 — Noumenal Eggs
Tokyo underground experimental audio-visual duo, MIRA新伝統(MIRA) released their first EP since Torque in 2019. That was a harrowing 20-minute piece dealing with psychological trauma and abuse. Noumenal Eggs, which takes inspiration from various Tokyoscapes, doesn’t get any easier to hear and we’re thankful for that. The whole album features incredibly sleek production from Leray and wrenching vocals from Honami.
“Hosting of an Inorganic Demon” features crackles and demonic crunches, whilst “Disembodiment” encases Honami’s tortured gasps alongside auto-tuned vocals, creaking of an unidentified object and eerie synth. A disturbed world for each enraptured listener.
“Noumenal Eggs” draws from SBKVLT-esque melodies and shattering chimes scratch across the track, haunted by femme ASMR vocals in the background.
“Chronosis” enters a dripping cave, beating out percussion on metal pipes and growling overhead. The album closes with Ziúr remixing “Disembodiment” who somehow creates an even more dissonantly haunting version of the original.
A fantastic album. Very worthwhile listening for those bold enough.
Yuzo Iwata — Kaizu
Yuzo Iwata hails from Hokkaido and splits his time between Sapporo and Berlin. Influences from both his homeland and current base in Germany are evident in the album, Kaizu. Meticulous sound design betrays his musical upbringing at legendary Sapporo club, Precious Hall, honed via Berlin.
“Neverland” is a big-beat chugger, with prominent bass keeping the Paradise Garage-esque synth leashed alongside squelchy acid licks. “Fun Club” harks back to Fabio’s roots with an unabashedly fun, busy house track. One could imagine seeing DJ Harvey popping this on at a summer festival. Forward to “Heroes Show up Late” and we catch a considered, retrospective Iwata, his Brazilian roots on show with a homage to bossa nova. Joao Gilberto would have grooved to this at the club.
The b-side reaches peak time as Iwata gets down to business with a slew of no-holds-barred percussion. “Gamelion” is a percussive dance floor trip, effervescent synths with wild Indonesian style tribal techno rhythms make for a face-screwing call to the floor. “Sundance” is another dancefloor tip. The closing track, “Time 2 L” is a romantic retrospective of electric guitar and bird calls waving goodbye. | https://www.tokyoweekender.com/2022/07/top-new-music-albums-japan-june-2022/ | 2022-07-07T11:30:26Z | https://www.tokyoweekender.com/2022/07/top-new-music-albums-japan-june-2022/ | false | 1 |
KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Rwanda and Congo have agreed to reduce tensions following one-day talks between their presidents mediated by Angola, Congo’s presidency announced Wednesday.
The two countries will revive a Congo-Rwanda commission which will resume activities on July 12 in the Angolan capital, Luanda, according to the statement. It also called for a return to normal diplomatic relations between Kinshasa and Kigali, a cessation of hostilities and the “immediate and unconditional withdrawal” of the M23 rebel group from its positions in eastern Congo.
There was no immediate word on the talks from Rwanda, whose President Paul Kagame met with Congo President Felix Tshisekedi in Luanda, Angola’s capital, Wednesday amid growing tensions. Rwanda and Congo had traded angry statements stemming from allegations that Rwanda backs the M23, which is made up of mostly Tutsi fighters from Congo. The M23 last month seized a Congolese town near the Uganda border.
Rwanda in turn accuses Congo of supporting a group of rebels with members who allegedly took part in Rwanda’s 1994 genocide.
Both countries deny the allegations.
The African Union earlier this year asked Angola to mediate between Congo and Rwanda under the auspices of a regional body known as the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region.
About 170,000 people have been displaced in the weeks since M23 resurfaced in eastern Congo. Wednesday’s summit called for the return of all refugees to their countries of origin, according to the statement from the Congolese presidency.

The brands that were selected received the highest overall ratings based on 12 questions that looked at the perception of brand vision, team culture, honesty and integrity, and overall support.

The export policy of wheat flour does remain free and there is no outright ban on it, however, exporters must seek permission from an Inter-Ministerial Committee on wheat export.
Also, before this revised policy comes into effect, certain consignments of wheat flour will be allowed to be exported including situations wherein the loading of wheat flour on the ship has commenced before this notification, and where wheat flour consignment has been handed over to the Customs and is registered in their system.
In May 2022, the Centre amended the export policy of wheat by putting its export under the "prohibited" category.
The government had then stated that the move was made with the purpose to manage the overall food security of the country as well as meeting the needs of the neighbouring and other vulnerable countries. | https://en.prothomalo.com/business/global/after-the-ban-on-wheat-india-restricts-exports-of-flour-other-derivatives | 2022-07-07T11:39:23Z | https://en.prothomalo.com/business/global/after-the-ban-on-wheat-india-restricts-exports-of-flour-other-derivatives | true | null |

Even though the first drawings in our lives started with a pencil on a piece of paper or with chalk on a wall, digital skills are required in today's design environment. Now, Polestar is looking for a few designers to give them a prize and promises to build a full-scale model and showcase it at Shanghai Motor Show next year.
When the whole planet was in lockdown due to the pandemic situation, Polestar announced the first design contest. Since then, the carmaker has challenged aspiring designers to become more creative and imagine exciting products. Moreover, the result doesn't necessarily have to be cars but beautiful enough to be branded as Polestar products. The projects must visually show a new form of 'Performance' and express the advanced technical story that sustainably enables this.
One of the designs that received an honorable mention in the 2021 contest is the KOJA tree house made by the Finnish designer Kristian Talvitie. That project has been brought to life at the Fiskars Art & Design Biennale in Finland. It is the first project that will be converted into a full-scale product.
This year, Polestar designers will assist and coach shortlisted artists, while a modeling team will support the finalists. In addition, they will create a hard model for the winning designs. The Swedish brand aimed for two main categories, for exterior and interior design.
Initial design submissions are awaited until August 31st. Ten students and ten professional designers will make it to a shortlist. Afterward, five professional and five design students will make it into the final, and their names will be announced on November 1st. The winning designers will be announced on November 11th. Moreover, Polestar will start working on a full-scale model unless it's bigger than a car. So, if you want to submit your design, try to create something smaller than an ambulance.
Juan Pablo Bernal, Interior Design Manager at Polestar, founder of the Polestar Design Contest, and curator of the @polestardesigncommunity Instagram page, says, "I believe this year's 'Performance' theme will capture the imagination of a design community that has responded extremely creatively to our Design Contest thus far. We expect this year will be no different – the paradigm has shifted from high-consumption performance rooted in the 20th century, so we are looking for design ideas that embody that shift."
Polestar plans to launch a new performance SUV by the end of this year, followed by a smaller electric SUV Coupe in 2023 and a performance four-door GT in 2024.

The stone barns - known locally as laithes - were built to house dairy cows and hay during harsh winters, but since farming practices changed in the 1970s, many fell out of use and became derelict.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority became concerned about the condition of many of them and sought funding to preserve their character and heritage.
They have now revealed the results of three recent restorations in areas where a pilot project that provides farmers and landowners with grant funding from Natural England and Historic England is running. Members of the public have also left legacy donations to the Swaledale and Arkengarthdale Barns and Walls Conservation Area scheme.
Since 2020, 12 such buildings have been brought back into use.
Henry Simpson's Barn, near Parcevall Hall, Wharfedale
Henry Simpson’s Barn in Craven is a Grade II*-listed building, recognised as being of more than special interest. It has been at risk for more than 20 years, with the loss of its stone roof causing exposed original timbers to deteriorate.
Henry Simpson’s Barn was built in 1737 on the estate of Richard Boyle, the 3rd Earl of Burlington. Henry Simpson was the agent for all of Burlington’s British estates. A surviving letter written by William Taylor, the local agent, to Mr Simpson in 1738 enclosed a full account of the barn including a quite remarkable sum of £126, 19 shillings, 5 pence.
Mr Taylor noted: “You’ll doubtless think a large sum…however ‘tis effectually done and is a very useful handsome and perhaps one of the best finished barns in Craven.”
Nearly 300 years later, Henry Simpson’s has been carefully restored. Original roof timbers have been repaired and preserved under a new, lightweight roof covering.
Dykelands Barn at Scosthrop, near Airton
Dykelands Barn is Grade II-listed and has been at risk for more than a decade. It was built in 1703 and adjoins a Grade II-listed farmhouse of 17th century origins. The history of the settlement of Scosthrop goes back further, with the name “Scotorp” as recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 likely deriving from the Old Norse “Scottr” meaning “Scotsman”, and “thorpe” meaning “outlying farmstead”.
The building was suffering from very severe structural movement and needed significant repair works as well as full re-roofing. Following restoration works, the barn has been brought back into safe condition to be used as part of the working farm.
The Butching Garth at Nappa in Wensleydale
The Butching Garth at Nappa in mid-Wensleydale is a stone’s throw from Nappa Hall, an imposing fortified manor house built by the Metcalfe family in the 15th century.
James Metcalfe fought for King Henry V of England at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, and was rewarded for his service with land at Nappa, upon which Nappa Hall was built. Nappa Hall is Grade I-listed and described by Historic England as being “probably the finest and least-spoilt fortified manor house in the north of England.”
Butching Garth itself is a highly unusual building, being a 19th-century former slaughterhouse of which very few comparable examples exist. Its traditional stone roof collapsed about 10 years ago, resulting in the loss of much of the first floor internally. However, following restoration involving structural repairs and the provision of a new lightweight roof structure, the building has been put into a safe condition to be re-used as a sheep shelter.
Surviving internal features of the former slaughterhouse have been retained, including a mechanical winch set into the rear wall.
Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority conservation officer Peter Reynolds said: "Whilst it is fantastic to witness these and other traditional buildings being restored in the Yorkshire Dales, funding is available only to restore a very small proportion of the thousands of barns dotted throughout the landscape.
"For many redundant barns, the only option besides letting them gradually decay is conversion into a new use, which can give them a new lease of life and enable them to carry on being enjoyed by generations to come. This needs to be carried out in a sympathetic way to conserve the character and appearance of those barns and their wider landscape setting.
"Sadly, some barns aren’t suitable for re-use, often by virtue of their lack of physical capacity, remoteness or poor state of repair, and it is those buildings which are most at risk of vanishing from the Yorkshire Dales landscape forever.
"The density and variety of traditional stone barns in the Yorkshire Dales is truly distinctive. The barns are testament to the resilience and hard work of upland farmers who have shaped the pastoral landscape of the Dales over several centuries.
"Most barns - locally called laithes or cow houses - were built to house milk cows and hay during the winter. Then in the 1970s farming practices changed significantly. The barns are no longer used for their original purpose. Without intervention they will inevitably deteriorate and be lost over time." | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/heritage/two-18th-century-historic-stone-barns-and-victorian-slaughterhouse-in-the-yorkshire-dales-brought-back-to-life-3759743 | 2022-07-07T11:45:14Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/heritage/two-18th-century-historic-stone-barns-and-victorian-slaughterhouse-in-the-yorkshire-dales-brought-back-to-life-3759743 | true | 1 |

You want data? We’ve got more Data than most episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association has declared, on multiple occasions, that all potential changes to the statewide playoff format implemented this past school year must be supported by data (facts and figured from the competition, not the fictional android played by Brent Spiner).
Each year in early July since 2009, I’ve crunched the North Shore’s state tournament data and presented it in a column known in Salem News circles as “The Willie’s.” They’re back for the first time since 2019, and we’re going to put a fresh spin on things by analyzing both the winning percentages and the average power rankings by sport and by school.
Digging deep to remember how to write a lab report from middle school science class, allow me to recap my procedure:
The MIAA schools in The Salem News readership area are Beverly, Bishop Fenwick, Danvers, Essex Tech, Hamilton-Wenham, Ipswich, Marblehead, Masconomet, Peabody, Salem, Salem Academy, St. John’s Prep and Swampscott. I’ve added up the wins and losses from the state tournament (bracketed competition that qualifies by power rankings, apologies to wrestling, track, etc.) to compare and contrast.
First, lets go by sport. You don’t need to be a particle physicist to predict that the two sports that had the best records this past school year were the ones that took multiple state titles back to the North Shore.
Football was king with a 14-6 record (.700 winning percentage) as Marblehead and Swampscott each captured Super Bowl titles. Girls tennis wasn’t far behind at 13-6 (.684), since Masconomet and Hamilton-Wenham both won state titles.
Field hockey and girls volleyball both matched football with 14 cumulative state playoff wins, but had eight and nine losses and checked in with .636 and .609 win percentages. Boys hockey had a strong showing of 11-7 (.611), boys soccer was a respectable 9-9 (.529) and boys lacrosse inched over .500 at 11-10 thanks to St. John’s Prep’s five wins and its second straight Division 1 state title.
Three sports were even: girls soccer (9-9), boys tennis (7-7) and boys volleyball (2-2). Girls basketball (7-8, .467) and girls lacrosse was just under at 9-10 (.474), softball went 5-8 (.385), and the new format was not very kind to baseball (5-10, .333), boys basketball (6-11, .353) or girls hockey (2-4, .333).
Crunching Power Rankings
Now lets correlate seeds. It’s expected in this new format that teams with higher power rankings go further and win more games. A fair hypothesis would be that the sports that had the highest average seed would have the best records. Did it turn out that way? (A procedural note: I used power ranking, not seed, to find the mean average of local teams using only state tournament qualifiers. Thus if a school was 37th in the final power rankings but seeded 33rd due to teams under .500 not qualifying, I used 37).
Football had the highest average seed at 5.0 — but, wait, it’s a bad data point that we have to throw out. Remember, the MIAA’s football tournaments have only 16 teams, not the 32 or more we see in other sports. So, it’s totally unfair to compare football’s average seed to any other sport; for instance, Peabody’s football team was ranked 17th, the highest of any boys sport at the school this year, and didn’t make the tourney.
You could double football average seed to 10 (since the field is doubled from 16 to 32) and that would still be the best of any sport among local teams. There were five top five seeds in football.
Field hockey was next at 14.0 on average and four top 10 seeds. Boys hockey fared well at 14.38, and interestingly though girls tennis had the second-best win percentage, the average seed was lower at 19.38. The new seeding was not kind to our local girls basketball teams (24.8), showed the Northeastern Conference’s relative weakness in boys lacrosse (20.8 despite St. John’s Prep being first in Division 1), and baseball was ugly at 21.6.
Seeds were much more predictive of long-term success, however.
An incredible 10 teams made state championship games from The Salem News readership area, with eight wins and two losses. Of those 10 state finalists, the average seed was 2.6; half of them were No. 1 seeds (Marblehead football, Ipswich volleyball, Hamilton-Wenham girls tennis, St. John’s Prep lacrosse and hockey).
The only local team that made a state final and wasn’t a top four seed was Peabody High softball at No. 9. All eight teams that won state titles were seeded either No. 1 or No. 2 (in the case of Swampscott football and Hamilton-Wenham girls soccer).
How about reaching the state semifinals? There were 16 Final Four teams (the 10 state finalists plus six more). Of those, the average seed was 3.06. None of the local state semifinalists were seeded lower than No. 9.
More than half the schools in the readership area had a Final Four team: Hamilton-Wenham and St. John’s Prep had three each; Ipswich, Swampscott, Bishop Fenwick and Masconomet had two apiece; and Peabody and Marblehead both had one.
In terms of boys and girls, there were six girls state finalists and four boys (with an even four and four among tournament champions). Among Final Four teams, 10 were girls teams and six were boys.
School Bragging Rights
Let’s now shift gears to the top postseason showings by school.
St. John’s Prep and its two championship teams had the best percentage with an 18-6 record for an astounding .750 winning mar. Hamilton-Wenham had the most total victories with 23, and its 23-10 record was second at .697.
Masconomet had the most total postseason teams with 14, and a fair number of wins at 18-13 (.581). Marblehead also had 14 playoff teams, tied for most, going 10-13 (.435), and Bishop Fenwick was very busy at 14-13 (.519).
Ipswich was 15-9 (.625) despite having no postseason teams during the winter season. Swampscott went 12-8 (.600), Danvers was 12-10 (.545), and Peabody was just under .500 at 8-10 (.444). Essex Tech posted a 3-8 mark (.273) and Salem Academy was 1-4 (.200).
The two schools on either side of the Veterans Memorial Bridge had tough years. Beverly went 5-14 (.263) ... the Panthers were tied for the most total playoff teams with 14, yet managed only five wins. The conclusion seems to be that Beverly being in Division 1 in this new format is not a fair fit.
Salem, meanwhile, went 2-2 but had only two teams reach the statewide playoffs the entire school year: none in the fall, boys basketball in the winter, and boys volleyball in the spring. Some of the Witches teams had poor records, but the ones that hovered around .500 were buried in the power rankings. The system is not kind to the Witches.
That brings up the next data point: Average ranking by school.
There are two ways to look at this: Average ranking of teams that made the tourney, or average ranking of all teams including those that didn’t. For the sake of comparing schools, lets average every team they fielded (sticking with simple mean rather than median or a weighted average).
Those that feel the system was designed for the Catholic Conference won’t be deterred to see St. John’s Prep’s average seed far and away the best in the region at 7.8.
Hamilton-Wenham’s was next at 14.8, Masconomet’s was 17.9, Bishop Fenwick’s was 18.66, Ipswich’s was 21.3, Swampscott was 21.7, Marblehead’s was 23.9, Beverly’s average ranking was 27.8, Danvers was also 27.8, Peabody’s was 28.5, Essex Tech’s was 30.45 and Salem came in at 45.9.
Salem Academy’s was 42.7 ... the Navs were around .500 in boys and girls soccer and softball went 15-5, but had no power ranking luck. To really contend in this format, they’d probably need to join a league and develop a 100 percent MIAA schedule.
Most of the local NEC schools were somewhere between 20 and 30 on average; most of them had a few top 10 teams and a few that didn’t qualify to make up the average ... that seems fairly normal.
One thing that stood out about Ipswich and Hamilton-Wenham, for whom the new system is clearly a huge benefit: Their averages were dragged down by basketball programs that play in higher divisions than the other programs at their schools. Perhaps this is evidence that those teams belong in the same division as the others?
Those are just a few of the stray observations from pouring over the local results of the first statewide playoffs. It’ll be very interesting to see if the new divisions lead to self-fulfilling prophecies (high seeds for the Cape Ann League, mediocre ones for the NEC) or if things will change each year based on which teams might be having up years, as they did in the Willie’s of the past.
Until then...

For the event, which runs until July 10, Aldi is committed to ensuring that all meat loving - and meat free - grill maestros have the essentials they need to cook up a storm.
Popular items include spicy, award-winning Ashfields Grill Sweet Chilli Jam Beef Kebabs (£2.99, 400g) and the delicious Specially Selected The Ultimate Burger (£2.69, 340g). For those into surfing over turfing, the Chilli, Garlic & Paprika King Prawn Skewers (£2.49, 120g) are very moreish, while shoppers should enjoy the Specially Selected Yellowfin Tuna Steaks (£3.99, 200g).
Classic BBQ extras such as Specially Selected Brioche Burger Buns (£0.89, 4 pack), Bramwells Chunky Burger Sauce (£0.79, 250ml) and the crunchy, creamy, award-winning Specially Selected Coleslaw (£0.99, 300g) can also be snapped up.
Meanwhile, new analysis has revealed just how much shoppers could save by picking up all those BBQ essentials at Aldi. Research turned up the heat on prices at all major supermarkets and found a basket of 12 staple BBQ items cost £20.80 at the budget supermarket, compared with an average of £25.74 at the Big Four.
Julie Ashfield, managing director of buying at Aldi, said: “We’re more committed than ever to our long-standing price promise. With everyone looking at ways to save, why pay a premium at a more expensive supermarket when you can get award-winning quality products for low prices at Aldi?
“That’s why we’re encouraging people not to change their lifestyle, but instead change their supermarket. Whether it’s buying your BBQ essentials or doing your entire weekly food shop, every time you shop with us you will find amazing prices.”

WASHINGTON: US President
Joe Biden's communications director is quitting, the White House said Wednesday, the latest in a number of departures of high-ranking officials ahead of November's midterm elections.
The administration said in a statement confirming Kate Bedingfield's exit later this month that she wanted to spend more time with her husband and young children after three years leading Biden's White House and campaign messaging.
"She has played a huge role in everything the president has achieved -- from his second term as vice president, through the campaign, and since coming to the White House," said White House chief of staff Ron Klain.
"Her strategic acumen, intense devotion to the president's agenda, and fierce work on his behalf are unmatched."
Bedingfield's announcement comes amid a number of recent departures including Biden's rapid response director Mike Gwin and press secretary Jen Psaki, who left the White House in May for a cable news role.
Democrats in Congress have begun to voice frustrations over Biden's messaging strategy amid a series of setbacks in his domestic agenda, from the gutting of abortion rights by the Supreme Court to soaring inflation.
Several lower-level aides have also left the communications team in recent weeks, marking a period of upheaval in the White House that has also seen the return of senior advisor Anita Dunn after an absence of less than a year.
"From long before we launched the campaign, Kate Bedingfield was a fierce defender of the president and ensured that our message in 2020 and in the White House was consistent with his voice and principles," said Dunn, who is taking charge of planning for Biden's re-election campaign.
"Her leadership helped us tell the story about the fight Joe Biden is making for the working families of America. She'll always be a core member of this family, even as she takes a little time to put her own family first." | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/white-house-communications-director-quits/articleshow/92714100.cms | 2022-07-07T12:05:21Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/white-house-communications-director-quits/articleshow/92714100.cms | true | 4 |
Varanasi, July 7: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday, underlined the need for connecting education with the modern ideas of the 21st century. Speaking at the inaugural session of the three-day Akhil Bhartiya Shiksha Samagam here, he said that the fundamental objective of the national education Policy (NEP) was to bring education out of the narrow thought process and integrate it with the thoughts and ideas of the future.
The Prime Minister said that we should not only prepare the degree holders but also develop human resources in a way that the nation prepares for the future challenges. National Education Policy: 'Due to NEP, Technical and Medical Courses Can Be Done in Local Languages', Says PM Narendra Modi.
"I am sure that soon India will emerge as a global hub for education. To this end, we are creating world class institutes that will help in creating opportunities for the youth. We are making sure that NEP is not just another document in the files, but a roadmap that guides our education system," he said.
He further said that today, sectors and opportunities that were earlier sclerotic are now being opened up for all. Many marginalised groups are now enjoying unprecedented opportunities.
Through the National Educational Policy (NEP), we aim to create employers, he added. The Prime Minister said that the education system and the youth have the responsibility of fulfilling the dreams of Amrut Mahotsav.
He said that not only did India recover rapidly from the Covid pandemic, but it also became one of the fastest-growing large economies in the world. "We are the world's third-largest startup ecosystem now," he added.
Earlier, welcoming the guests, the Prime Minister said, "I am the MP of Varanasi and in that sense, I am your host and you are my guests. I am sure that you will not be having any inconvenience during your stay."
The Prime Minister also inaugurated an Akshaya Patra midday meal kitchen that is designed to provide hygienically prepared meals to one lakh children at one go. He also inaugurated several developmental projects in his constituency.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union's executive warned on Thursday that the continent is facing one of its toughest years when it comes to natural disasters like droughts and wildfires because of increasing climate change.
With extremely dry weather hitting several Mediterranean nations, EU Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič told legislators on Thursday that “the present drought in Europe could become the worst ever.” Fires ravaging huge swaths of countryside only acerbate the climate crisis, he said.
“Statistics show that since 2017, we have the most intense, intense forest fires ever seen in Europe. And that we unfortunately expect the 2022 forest fire season could follow this trend,” he said.
Extended drought conditions have hit several member states like Greece and Italy and a heat wave last month went as far up as northern Germany. It heightened concerns across Europe for more disasters for the rest of the summer.
Šefčovič said the EU is already funding the deployment of over 200 firefighters from across the bloc to deal with fires in Greece.
Italy is in the midst of an early summer heat wave, coupled with the worst drought in northern Italy in 70 years and the conditions were linked to the disaster last Sunday when a huge chunk of the Marmolada glacier cleaved off and crashed onto hikers.
The death toll stands at nine, with five people who had been hiking there still unaccounted for.
“The tragic event in Marmolada is just the latest example of disasters linked to warmer temperatures and thus to climate change,” Šefčovič said.

Democrats want to tax high earners to protect Medicare solvency
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats want to boost taxes on some high earners and use the money to extend the solvency of Medicare, the latest step in the party’s election-year attempt to craft a scaled-back version of the economic package that collapsed last year, Democratic aides told The Associated Press.
Democrats expect to submit legislative language on their Medicare plan to the Senate’s parliamentarian in the next few days, the aides said. It was the latest sign that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., could be working toward a compromise bill the party hopes to push through Congress this summer over solid Republican opposition. Manchin scuttled last year’s bill.
Under the latest proposal, people earning more than $400,000 a year and couples making more than $500,000 would have to pay a 3.8% tax on their earnings from tax-advantaged businesses called pass throughs. Until now, many of them have been using a loophole to avoid paying that levy.
That would raise an estimated $203 billion over a decade, which Democrats say would be used to delay until 2031 a shortfall in the Medicare trust fund that pays for hospital care. That fund is currently projected to start running out of money in 2028, three years earlier.
Most U.S. businesses are pass throughs, which include partnerships and sole proprietorships and range from one-person law practices to some large companies. Owners count the profits as income when they pay individual income taxes, but such companies do not pay corporate taxes — meaning they avoid paying two levels of taxation.
Democrats this week also sent the parliamentarian a separate 190-page piece of the emerging Schumer-Manchin compromise that would lower prescription drug costs for patients and the government. Provisions include requiring Medicare to negotiate drug prices, limiting beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket costs to $2,000 annually and increasing federal subsidies for copays and premiums for some low-income people.
With November elections for control of Congress approaching, Democrats hope the two proposals will be a remedy for a campaign season that so far looks bleak. Republicans are favored to win a majority in the House and could do the same in the Senate.
Democrats say both plans will show voters they are battling to curb health care costs and protect the widely popular Medicare program, positions they say will be dangerous for Republicans to oppose. Polls show widespread public alarm over recent months’ historically high inflation rates, supply chain problems and other economic issues that along with President Joe Biden’s dismal popularity ratings are pushing voters Republicans’ way, the GOP says.
Schumer and Manchin have been bargaining privately for weeks on a package aides say could include around $500 billion in spending and tax credits, more than paid for with about $1 trillion in revenue and other savings. Schumer has described the talks as productive but acknowledged that some issues remain unresolved.
Energy and environment programs, corporate taxes, IRS budget increases to strengthen tax enforcement and a renewal of soon-to-expire federal subsidies for people buying health insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care law are also under discussion, aides say.
It remains uncertain what will emerge from the talks. The aides described the latest proposals and status of negotiations only on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the information by name.
The suggestions of progress were emerging seven months after Manchin derailed a roughly $2 trillion, 10-year social and environment bill, dealing a stunning blow to a cornerstone of Biden’s domestic agenda.
The Democratic-run House approved the measure in November, but Manchin abruptly announced he could not support the legislation because of its cost and his worries that it would fuel inflation. Similar provisions lowering pharmaceutical prices and raising taxes on some upper-income people were in that bill.
The West Virginian’s backing remains crucial in the 50-50 Senate. Democrats are using special procedures that would let them pass the pared-down package over expected unanimous GOP opposition with the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Democrats are expected to unanimously back the Medicare solvency and prescription drug plans, one Democratic aide said.
“Medicare is a lifeline for millions of American seniors, and Senator Manchin has always supported pathways to ensure it remains solvent. He remains optimistic there is a path to do just that,” his spokesperson Sam Runyon said.
Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough will have to certify that the new bill’s provisions adhere to the chamber’s budget rules. Last year, she ruled that language making it easier for immigrants to remain in the U.S. had to be removed because it violated prohibitions against using the special procedures to enact significant policy changes.
Medicare has 64 million beneficiaries. Its trust fund covering hospital services, called Part A, is financed largely from taxes deducted from peoples’ paychecks.
That trust fund gained two years of solvency, until 2028, in last month’s report by the program’s board of trustees. It attributed the improvement to the economy’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic-spawned recession.
But both Medicare and Social Security face long-range financing problems, and the trustees suggested that lawmakers act “sooner rather than later” to strengthen them. Without congressional action, Medicare’s hospital trust fund would be able to pay only 90% of its costs in 2028 and less thereafter, the trustees said.
The proposal to increase taxes on some wealthier Americans would raise $203 billion over the coming decade, according to information examined by the AP that Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation provided to Senate Democrats. Federal actuaries told the Democrats that such financing would delay the trust fund’s shortfall until 2031, another document showed.

Xbox Series X Price In India Increased; Here’s How Much It Costs Now
Xbox Series X gaming console's price has reportedly been increased in India. Gadgets 360 reports that the Xbox Series X will now cost six percent higher than the previous launch price tag. The pricing of the Xbox Series controller and the Xbox wireless headphones in the country are also expected to increase in the coming days.
Xbox Series X Gaming Console Now Costs Rs. 52,990
On Prepaidgamercard.com, which is the official sales partner for Microsoft, the Xbox Series X gaming console is listed for Rs. 52,990. The Xbox Series X listing on Flipkart and Reliance Digital is still Rs. 49,990, which is the original price tag of the device. However, the console is out of stock on these two e-commerce portals. So there's a chance that the Xbox Series X's price will soon be updated on these two stores as well.
Xbox Wireless Controller, Xbox Wireless Headset Price Increased Too
The Xbox wireless controller and the Xbox wireless headset's prices in India are also increased as well. The Xbox wireless controller is now available on Prepaidgamercard.com for Rs. 5,590. The Xbox wireless headset is now being offered for Rs. 9,490 as compared to the previous price tag of Rs. 8,990.
Xbox Series X Key Specifications
The Microsoft Xbox Series X is the most powerful console from the brand to date. The gaming device provides a true 4K gaming experience at a higher 120 frames per second. The product is powered by an 8x Zen 2 processor, which offers a clock speed of up to 3.8GHz. There's also 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, a custom 1TB NVME SSD for games storage, support for a 1TB expansion card, and superb Dolby Digital 5.1 sound output.
Xbox Series S Available At Discounted Price
The Xbox Series S gaming console is currently available at a discounted price tag of Rs. 31,399 on Amazon India and Flipkart. The gaming device was originally launched in the country for Rs. 34,990. However, its price was increased to Rs. 36,990 in June. So the gamers are advised to get the game at a discounted price before the sale ends. As of now, there's no word when the Xbox Series S will be up for grabs at the discounted price.
Microsoft hasn't officially confirmed the price hike on the Xbox Series X at the moment. We will know more in a couple of days, so stay tuned.

LOS ANGELES, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Divergent Technologies Inc. ("Divergent"), the company that has developed the world's first end-to-end digital production system to revolutionize industrial-scale manufacturing, announced today that it has closed a new $60 million venture loan facility led by Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: HRZN) ("Horizon"), and a new $20 million revolving line of credit provided by Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank (NYSE: WAL) ("Bridge Bank"). The new facilities follow Divergent's successful $160 million Series C funding earlier this year.
Under the terms of the venture loan agreement, Horizon, a leading specialty finance company that provides capital in the form of secured loans to venture capital backed companies in the technology, life science, healthcare information and services, and sustainability industries, funded $15 million of the initial draw from the venture loan facility, and a private investment vehicle managed by Horizon Technology Finance Management LLC, Horizon's adviser, funded $5 million. The venture loan facility provides up to an additional $40 million of funding to Divergent upon meeting certain milestones.
Under the terms of the line of credit, Bridge Bank, whose Technology Banking Group provides financing solutions to venture capital backed technology companies at all stages of their life cycle, established a $20 million line of credit with Divergent who will use the funds for growth and working capital purposes.
Divergent is building a global manufacturing infrastructure platform for the next generation industrial economy, with a current focus on the automotive industry. Its full-stack, state-of-the-art Divergent Adaptive Production System ("DAPS") simultaneously aids in automating design, additive manufacturing (3-D printing) and assembling complex vehicle structures.

"We are pleased to receive support from Horizon and Bridge Bank as we continue to revolutionize complex industrial manufacturing, initially with automobiles and over time with aerospace and defense," said Kevin Czinger, lead inventor, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Divergent. "DAPS makes it possible for the first time for manufacturers to forego the capital-intensive static design system they have been accustomed to for over a century, and utilize a variable cost flexible design system that is significantly more efficient. Through this added efficiency, DAPS radically reduces the impact of manufacturing on the environment, thereby making a meaningful contribution to global sustainability."
"Divergent is changing the game for manufacturing vehicles, with their DAPS end-to-end platform providing manufacturers with unmatched cost savings and flexibility," said Gerald A. Michaud, President of Horizon. "With over 500 patent filings, DAPS is a cutting-edge approach that enables Divergent customers to create new product models much more quickly and efficiently. We are excited to support Divergent's growth and expansion."
"Divergent is radically transforming auto manufacturing economics and environmental impact, and it is exciting to see Divergent deliver a solution that addresses system level challenges," said Mike Lederman, Senior Managing Director in Bridge Bank's Technology Banking Group. "Divergent is rethinking the manufacturing process for the auto industry and we are pleased to help support the company's evolution."
BayCross Capital Group acted as the placement agent on the debt (the securities portion of which was conducted via StillPoint Capital, LLC Member FINRA/SIPC).

Duke of Sussex ‘not told royal officials were involved in security decision’
The Duke of Sussex was not informed that the Royal Household was involved in a decision over his security arrangements when in the UK, the High Court has been told.
Harry is bringing legal action over a decision not to allow him to pay for police protection for himself and his family while in the UK.
The duke wants to bring his children to visit from the US, but he and his family are “unable to return to his home” because it is too dangerous, a representative previously said.
Harry’s lawyers are asking Mr Justice Swift at a hearing in London on Thursday to grant permission for a full judicial review of the Home Office’s decision.
He is challenging the February 2020 decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) – which falls under the remit of the Home Office – over his security, after being told he would no longer be given the “same degree” of personal protective security when visiting.
The duke’s legal team are seeking to argue that the security arrangements set out in a letter from Ravec, and their application when he visited the UK in June 2021, were invalid due to “procedural unfairness” because he was not given an opportunity to make “informed representations beforehand”.
Shaeed Fatima QC, for the duke, told the court: “He didn’t know at that stage that the Royal Household was involved at all … he was told it was an independent decision.”
She also said there were “significant tensions” between Harry and the Queen’s private secretary, Sir Edward Young, at that time.
In written arguments, Ms Fatima said Harry was not given a “clear and full explanation” of the composition of Ravec and those involved in its decision-making – for example, that it included the Royal Household.
She also said his understanding was that his points regarding security, which he passed on to the Royal Household, were being “fully and properly communicated to Ravec”.
Ms Fatima said he was denied the opportunity to make representations directly to Ravec and was “materially prejudiced” because “among other things, his offer to pay (for security) was not conveyed to Ravec before the decision was made”.
She added: “He does not know what else – as communicated by him to the Royal Household – was not fully/timeously conveyed to Ravec.
“He was deprived of the opportunity to comment on the appropriateness of Ravec’s process (and) the involvement of certain individuals in the Ravec process prior to the decision being made.
“It is arguable that, if there had been a fair process, Ravec would or could have reached a different decision.”
Lawyers for the Home Office say Ravec was entitled to reach the decision it did, which is that the duke’s security arrangements will be considered on a “case by case” basis, and argue that permission for a full judicial review should be refused.
Personal protective security by the police is not available on a privately financed basis
Sir James Eadie QC, representing the Home Office, said in written arguments that any tensions between Harry and Royal Household officials are “irrelevant” to his change in status.
He said: “In his skeleton, the claimant now refers to objections he might have made to any role being played by officials of the Royal Household in Ravec’s decision-making – apparently because of personal tensions he felt with them.
“But there is no bias challenge and any such tensions are irrelevant to the undisputed fact of the claimant’s change in status which led to the decision of Ravec.
“The inability of the claimant even now to explain how a process of representations could or would have assisted is striking.”
Sir James also said there is “no basis for the court to conclude that it would be anything other than highly likely” that allowing Harry to make representations to Ravec before the decision was made “would not have led to that decision being substantially different, or even at all different”.
The judge ruled in March that parts of the court documents in the case should be remain private.
Ms Fatima previously told the court that Harry considers the UK “is and always will be his home”.
A representative for Harry previously said the duke wants to fund the security himself, rather than ask taxpayers to foot the bill.
However, Robert Palmer QC, for the Home Office, previously told the court that the duke’s offer of private funding was “irrelevant”.
In written submissions, he said: “Personal protective security by the police is not available on a privately financed basis, and Ravec does not make decisions on the provision of such security on the basis that any financial contribution could be sought or obtained to pay for it.”
Mr Justice Swift said he will give his decision in writing at a later date on whether to grant permission for a full hearing.

Major multinational companies including Hyundai, KFC and Domino's are scrambling to contain a furious backlash in India after their Pakistani subsidiaries tweeted in support of Kashmiri aspirations for independence from New Delhi. The outrage is being felt as far away as Seoul, where the foreign ministry spokesperson was obliged Tuesday to express his regrets to his Indian counterpart. In New Delhi, South Korea's ambassador was summoned Monday to the foreign ministry where "the strong displeasure of the Government … was conveyed to him." Within the Indian parliament and government, even abject apologies from the offending companies are being dismissed as insufficiently sincere.

The ruckus began on Sunday, when the Pakistani outlets tweeted their support for Kashmir's mainly Muslim population to mark what is celebrated in that country as "Kashmir Solidarity Day." The status of Kashmir has been disputed between India and Pakistan since partition in 1948 and has been the cause of three wars between them. "Let us remember the sacrifices of our Kashmiri brothers and stand in solidarity as they continue their battle for freedom," said a post by Hyundai Pakistan's Twitter handle @hyundaiPakistanOfficial. The post sparked an immediate furor in India, where social media users began calling for a boycott of Hyundai products. The demands for an apology were quickly picked up by the government and members of parliament. The company's Indian subsidiary was quick to dissociate itself from the tweet, issuing a statement saying that that as matter of policy, Hyundai Motors Company does not comment on political or religious issues in any specific region.

"It clearly against Hyundai Motor's policy that the independently-owned distributor in Pakistan made unauthorized Kashmir-related social media posts from their own accounts," it said. "We deeply regret any offense caused to the people of India by this unofficial social media activity." The parent company also weighed in, saying, "Once the situation was brought to our attention, we made the distributor acutely aware of the inappropriateness of the action. We have since taken measures to ensure the distributor, which misused the Hyundai brand identity, has removed the social media posts and we have put in place processes to prevent a future recurrence." The company statement added: "Our subsidiary, Hyundai Motor India, is not associated with the distributor in Pakistan, and we strongly reject the distributor's unauthorized non-business related social media activity."
Indian subsidiaries of U.S.-based KFC and Domino's similarly apologized for social media posts that had appeared on the verified accounts of their Pakistani counterparts. "We deeply apologize for a post that was published on some KFC social media channels outside the country," said a tweet from the fried chicken dynasty. "We honour and respect India, and remain steadfast in our commitment to serving all Indians with pride." Pizza maker Domino's is also reeling, with the hashtag #boycottdominos trending on Twitter in response to a similar tweet sent by Domino's Pakistani account. In a statement posted Wednesday, the business said, "This is the country we have called our home for the last 25 years, and we stand here to safeguard its legacy forever. We regret and apologize for the unsolicited social media handles outside the country."

Maruti Suzuki, a subsidiary of the Japanese automaker, is also caught up in the ruckus. "We do not align with any political or religious inclination in any part of the world. Such communications from our dealers or business associates on these topics represent neither our company position nor authorized by us," it said in a tweet. Despite the apologies, the Indian government and many of its lawmakers are not assuaged. "Hyundai Global must have thought that they could get away with a vague half-hearted statement by its Indian subsidiary," said Vijay Chauthaiwale, a senior official with India's Foreign Affairs Department. "New India would not tolerate any such nonsense." Priyanka Chaturvedi, deputy leader of a right-wing party in the Indian parliament, urged Hyundai to avoid "wishy-washy words" and say "we are unequivocally sorry. Rest is all unnecessary." (VOA/SP)

The Philippine Navy’s BRP Andres Bonifacio (PS 17) is now performing patrol operations in Western Command’s (WESCOM) area of responsibility which includes territorial defense in the West Philippine Sea.
PS17 entered WESCOM’s joint operations area with Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos aboard, on July 6 off Pinnacle Rock, Busuanga Island in the province of Palawan from Sangley Point, Cavite City where it underwent repairs to its mission-critical pieces of machinery before deployment.
While undergoing repairs, Carlos visited the ship in what WESCOM described as an opportunity for the WESCOM chief to ensure the mission-readiness of all assets being deployed in the country’s last frontier.
The ship then passed by the Galoc Oil Field which is located 60 kilometers northwest of Palawan. It is one of the service contracts of the Department of Energy (DOE) which is being secured by the WESCOM along with the Malampaya Gas Fields, El Nido and Matinloc Oil Platforms.
“She is ready to perform her territorial defense functions at WESCOM. PS17 is indeed very mission-capable and I am confident that she will significantly strengthen our naval presence in the West Philippine Sea and secure our oil platforms,” Carlos said on Wednesday.
The BRP Andres Bonifacio is one of the three Del Pilar-class ships which are the former US Coast Guard Hamilton-class cutters that were converted into frigates. Other ships of the class are the BRP Gregorio del Pilar (PS-15) and BRP Ramon Alcaraz (PS-16).
Each ship has a gross tonnage of 3,250 tons, a length of 378 feet, a beam of 43 feet, and a draft of 15 feet while its propulsion systems consist of two diesel engines and two gas turbine engines, giving it a top speed of 29 knots.
It has a cruising range of 14,000 miles, a sea and loiter time of 45 days, and is armed with a 76-mm. Oto Melara automatic cannon, 25-mm. and 20-mm. light cannons and .50-caliber machine guns.
“PS17 is one of the new patrol ships of the Philippine Navy which capable in the high seas. It is equipped with flight deck and hangar that makes her capable of air operations utilizing AFP’s Augusta helicopters,” WESCOM spokesperson Major Cheryl Tindog said.

- Hole K-22-174 intersected 284.1 g/t Au over 0.58 metres from 309.47 metres and 15.05 g/t Au over 1.11 metres from 310.71.
- The hole is the furthest hole drilled to the southwest at Big Vein and represents a 120 metre step out from previously reported mineralization at Big Vein.
- Mineralization at Big Vein remains open along strike to the southwest and northeast.
- Drilling also intersected high-grade mineralization at Golden Glove grading 20.07 g/t Au over 1 metre from 355m downhole and a longer 13.2 metre near surface interval at Midway grading 2.2 g/t Au that included 5.23 g/t Au over 4 metres.
TORONTO, July 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a new high grade intercept from the drilling at the southwest end of the Big Vein Zone as well as updates on drilling at Golden Glove and Midway at its 100% owned Kingsway Project. These holes were drilled as part of the Company’s ongoing 100,000 metre diamond drilling program targeting the prospective Appleton Fault Zone over a 12km strike length.
Big Vein
Hole K-22-174 is the furthest hole to be drilled to the southwest at Big Vein and intersected 284.1g/t Au over 0.58m from 309.7m downhole and represents the highest grade yet intersected on the Kingsway project. The hole also intersected 15.05 g/t over 1.11m from 310.71m just below the high-grade intercept. The hole was collared 120m to the southwest of Hole K-22-122 that intersected 54.17 g/t over 0.95m (see news release dated May 5, 2022) and the mineralization remains open to the southwest.
Golden Glove
Hole K-22-154 intersected 20.07 g/t Au over 1m from 335m downhole. This hole was drilled to test for a down plunge extension of mineralization in hole K-22-150 that intersected 6.22 g/t Au over 4m from 348m including 10.31 g/t Au over 2m (see news release dated July 5, 2022).
Midway
Hole K-22-153 intersected gabbro hosted gold mineralization grading 2.2 g/t Au over 13.2m from 45m downhole (38m vertical) that included 5.23 g/t Au over 4m.
“It is exciting to find the highest-grade mineralization drilled at Kingsway, more than a year after drilling began, in the furthest hole drilled to the southwest at Big Vein. This suggests excellent potential for further high-grade mineralization as we continue drilling to the southwest and attests to the prospectivity of the Appleton Fault Zone in this area,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO. “High-grade mineralization intersected at Golden Glove down plunge from that found in the first hole is also encouraging, especially given that these holes are approximately 160m south of the discovery outcrop. We will continue to test the extent of this mineralization both down plunge and along strike. Drilling at Midway continues to demonstrate near surface gold mineralization in gabbro which is significant given the extent of gabbro at Kingsway. We expect to continue to successfully expand these three targets as well as to begin drilling new targets, such as our current drilling at CSAMT, in the months ahead.”

QA/QC
True widths of the reported intersections have yet to be calculated. Assays are uncut. Samples of HQ split core are securely stored prior to shipping to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland for assay. Eastern Analytical is an ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory. Samples are routinely analyzed for gold by standard 30g fire assay with atomic absorption finish as well as by ICP-OES for an additional 34 elements. Samples containing visible gold are assayed by metallic screen/fire assay, as are any samples with fire assay results greater than 1 g/t Au. The company submits blanks and certified reference standards at a rate of approximately 5% of the total samples in each batch.

BORIS Johnson has appointed a number of Tory MPs to the cabinet, in a bid to fill some of the gaps left by this week’s mass resignation of ministers.
In his farewell speech from Downing Street, the Prime Minister said his new frontbenchers would remain in office for as long as he does.
His intention is to stay in No 10 as a caretaker leader until the Tories elect a new chief in time for the party's annual conference in October.
Though, many of his former colleagues want him gone sooner rather than later.
Nevertheless, the belligerent Mr Johnson, who has lost more than 50 members of his government this week, began his reshuffle on Thursday morning.
He appointed staunch remainer Greg Clark as the new Levelling Up Secretary, replacing arch-Brexiteer Michael Gove who was sacked by Mr Johnson on Wednesday.
James Cleverly has been made Education Secretary replacing Michelle Donelan who held the brief for less than 36 hours.
Robert Buckland has been appointed Secretary of State for Wales, following the resignation of Simon Hart.
Kit Malthouse is the new Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the most senior minister in the Cabinet Office after the Prime Minister.
Shailesh Vara is the new Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, while Andrew Stephenson has been appointed Minister without Portfolio, and will attend Cabinet.
Others, including Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, and Secretary of State for Scotland, Alister Jack look set to remain in place.
In his speech, Mr Johnson said "no one is remotely indispensable,” in politics.
The Prime Minister said: “It is clearly now the will of the parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new prime minister.
“And I’ve agreed with Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of our backbench MPs, that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now and the timetable will be announced next week.
“And I’ve today appointed a Cabinet to serve, as I will, until a new leader is in place.”
Mr Johnson also hit out at his deserting cabinet colleagues: “In the last few days, I tried to persuade my colleagues that it would be eccentric to change governments when we’re delivering so much and when we have such a vast mandate and when we’re actually only a handful of points behind in the polls, even in mid-term after quite a few months of pretty relentless sledging and when the economic scene is so difficult domestically and internationally.
“I regret not to have been successful in those arguments and of course it’s painful not to be able to see through so many ideas and projects myself.
“But as we’ve seen, at Westminster the herd instinct is powerful, when the herd moves, it moves.”
George Freeman, who quit as science minister on Thursday morning, said that now Mr Johnson had “finally done the decent thing” he should “hand in the seals of office, apologise to Her Majesty, allow her to appoint a caretaker under whom ministers can serve, so the Conservative Party can choose a new leader properly”.
Lord Barwell, who served as Theresa May’s chief of staff, said the leadership election must be “relatively quick” and there was a “question whether the PM will be able to lead a caretaker government in the meantime, will enough ministers agree to serve?”
Dominic Cummings, formerly Mr Johnson’s right-hand man in No 10 but now one of his most fierce critics, said the Prime Minister would cause “carnage” if he was allowed to remain in position.
He said the Cabinet should give Mr Johnson an ultimatum and tell him that if he does not go the Queen will appoint Deputy Prime Minister Mr Raab and “cops escort you from building”.

CHEYENNE – Some stakeholders worry Wyoming could be far along on the path to forfeiting some $40 million annually from the federal government. This reason is some state officials do not want to have to comply with recent federal anti-discrimination guidance for school lunches.
The reality is more complex, the Wyoming Tribune Eagle has found. Numerous Wyoming executive branch and legislative officials said in recent weeks that the state is a way’s away from any final action. For now, the federal money appears set to continue to come to Wyoming.
Comments from federal officials, most of whom would only provide written statements and did not answer all questions, back up state stakeholders’ accounts. The U.S. Department of Agriculture does not appear poised to take enforcement action for not adhering to the May 5 guidance.
A USDA Food and Nutrition Service memorandum clarified those getting the FNS money for school lunches must investigate any allegations this food was provided in a way that discriminated based on a student’s “sexual orientation and gender identity.” School lunch programs would need to order new “And Justice for All posters that reference gender identity and sexual orientation discrimination.”
These posters were not even available when the guidance was issued, with rollout scheduled for some time “in the coming months.
Told by the WTE on Saturday of the various wrinkles in the guidance’s rollout, and the fact that it’s unclear whether these are actually enforceable federal rules, state Senate Education Committee Chairman Charles Scott said this issue may not end up much affecting federal funding for Wyoming schools.
“This may turn out to be an obscure bureaucratic argument,” said Scott, R-Casper, “that may not much affect the world.” Of concerns from state officials, namely State Superintendent of Public Instruction Brian Schroeder, over any new USDA mandates, Scott said that “hopefully they can get it resolved before the Legislature has to step in.”
USDA
FNS says in response to questions that it “aims to bring state agencies into voluntary compliance.”
At the same time, the federal sub-agency also says that “program operators who fail to comply will be in violation of civil rights laws and in breach of the agreements they signed in order to receive federal funds. At that time, USDA will interpret the prohibition through traditional compliance and discrimination complaint mechanisms, which could include up to referring the case to the U.S. Department of Justice.”
What this means for Wyoming is unclear, stakeholders acknowledged.
Wyoming legislators do not currently plan to discuss these issues during the interim legislative work session this year, Scott and others said. They said the issue of whether the state should increase its funding of schools, to as much as the $40 million a year that conceivably the state could no longer get from the federal government, likely would not come before state lawmakers until 2023.
“There are multiple number of ways it could play out” under the Legislature’s processes, noted Don Richards from the Legislative Service Office. “There are a wide variety of options” executive branch and legislative branch officials could choose to pursue, Richards pointed out. “All of that is extraordinarily speculative” at this early point, said Richards, LSO budget and fiscal administrator.
The Wyoming Department of Education, led by state Superintendent Schroeder, could make a WDE budget request identifying a source of replacement funds for the Legislature, Richards noted. If something like this occurs next year, it could be part of the general supplemental budget. A non-appropriations committee, such as any of several education panels, could also make a request, as could a legislator.
The chairman of the House Education Committee, Rep. Jerry Paxton, thinks it’s “time to consider moving away from federal funding for school lunches,” he wrote in a Sunday email to the WTE.
“As a former educator, I have witnessed first-hand the evolution of school lunches from local control to federal mandates.” The “benefit of monetary support is no longer worth the sacrifice of local control,” added Paxton, R-Encampment.
Money
Should the Legislature eventually decide to use state money to replace federal dollars, there would probably be sufficient funds available.
This was the general consensus of Richards, along with Schroeder and state Treasurer Curt Meier. These assessments are based on recent financial conditions, so things could change by the time lawmakers meet at the state Capitol early next year.
There was an excess of some $140 million for the most recent fiscal year, which ended last Thursday, according to Richards. As he and others noted, some of this is due to higher prices for oil and natural gas, which, in turn, have bolstered state coffers due to tax receipts.
“Combined, revenue collections are $99.1 million ahead of pace or 6.7% higher than projected at this point in the fiscal year,” according to an April 26 report from the state Consensus Revenue Estimating Group, of which Richards is co-chairman. “Primary drivers of the outperformance are severance taxes and federal mineral royalties on Wyoming’s extractive commodities, especially oil and natural gas.”
This strength in energy “essentially is going to be raising up all of the boats,” Treasurer Meier said by phone. Meier confirmed that he had looked into the school lunch funding issue, at the request of Schroeder, and found that there is some monetary wiggle room.
“We’ll have plenty of money that’s going to be coming in on the minerals, natural gas and oil, that should more than offset anything” regarding any loss of USDA funds, Meier said. “We’re usually fairly frugal when it comes to feeding at the (U.S.) government trough in Wyoming,” the treasurer said. He did note that this is “a recipient state, not a donor state” when it comes to getting federal dollars, such as for highways.
Schroeder
Schroeder has faced some heat in Wyoming for his repeated criticism of the USDA rules.
His most recent news release on the subject suggested that Wyoming go it alone, if necessary, on school lunch funding. He noted then, as well as in a follow-up interview last week, that school kids won’t go hungry, it’s just that the state might subsidize lunches instead of USDA.
In the interview, the superintendent noted the recent federal guidance is just that. “It doesn’t carry the full force and effect of law,” he noted, and so 26 state attorneys general, including Wyoming’s, have asked the federal administration to rescind this edict.
“It’s not even at the rulemaking stage,” Schroeder pointed out.
Regardless of whether the WDE and/or individual school districts follow this guidance, the intent is not to allow any discrimination, he noted. He thinks that districts would fully investigate any allegations. “We’ve heard none,” he said of any such complaints so far during his approximately five months in the job.
Should complaints arise, “our (school) districts would be all over that,” Schroeder said. “If not, we would do our job” although his “department does its best to keep things at a local level.”
The head of one of the groups that criticized Schroeder’s stance said she thinks that he is inappropriately mixing his candidacy to be elected superintendent (he was appointed mid-term by Gov. Mark Gordon to fill a vacancy) with WDE. Sara Burlingame, the head of Wyoming Equality, said in an interview the superintendent was “politicking” in his job.
“It’s not about policy, it’s not about leadership in the schools, it’s about campaigning,” said Burlingame, who herself is hoping to be elected to a seat she once held in the state Legislature. Of federal anti-discrimination rules and Wyoming, she observed, “this idea that some outside value is being foisted on us is false. That is our value.”
“It is absolutely not politicking,” Schroeder responded, indicating that his stance could hurt him politically. “This is principal for me,” he continued. “This is a high enough hill to die on.” | https://www.wyomingnews.com/news/in_our_schools/state-moves-to-opt-out-of-usda-money-wont-quickly-come-to-fruition/article_12edceb1-254e-512e-b699-522fb2d9ed62.html | 2022-07-07T12:52:47Z | https://www.wyomingnews.com/news/in_our_schools/state-moves-to-opt-out-of-usda-money-wont-quickly-come-to-fruition/article_12edceb1-254e-512e-b699-522fb2d9ed62.html | true | 2 |
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 has been tipped to retain the same rear camera design as the Galaxy Z Fold 3, rather than adopt a module-less design seen in the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
That's according to TechTalkTV (opens in new tab) who tweeted that despite previous claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will have its rear cameras embedded into its chassis (pictured above), it’ll sport a more familiar module design. That might sound like a bit of a letdown for some folks who may want some of the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s excellent design cues to filter into next-gen foldables.
But the good news here is that TechTalkTV has the Galaxy Z Fold 4 tipped to get a 50MP main camera, stating it’s a feature “for sure.”
EXCLUSIVE: The camera layout of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will not look like the one shared by Onleaks. Instead, it will almost exactly look like the one on the Z Fold 3. pic.twitter.com/2IignnOEtaJuly 5, 2022
Now I recommend you take all phone rumors with a degree of skepticism, especially since Galaxy Z Fold 4 leaks have been mostly born from snippets of information rather than leaked specs sheets or models. But an upgrade to the Galaxy Z Fold 3’s main camera is definitely something I want in the Galaxy Z Fold 4; sure, some neatly integrated rear cameras would be nice, but the Fold 3’s rear camera module is hardly that chunky to begin with.
As it stands, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is my secondary phone, joining the iPhone 13 Pro as I go about my day-to-day escapades; it’s obviously the best foldable phone, but it’s far from perfect. And one of the biggest sticking points for me, aside from its bulk, is the rear cameras, especially when you consider it had a launch price of $1,799.
While good, the 12MP main camera can’t keep up with that of the Galaxy S22, let alone the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s 108MP snapper. The 12MP ultrawide and 12MP telephoto cameras are fine, but I definitely think there's room for improvement with the main camera. And upping the main sensor to 50MP could be the answer.
Samsung’s computational photography and color science has gotten a lot more appealing to my tastes with it’s latest Galaxy phones, so bringing in the scope to capture more detail means it could give the Galaxy Z Fold 4 a serious camera upgrade. Mix in other rumored upgrades like a powerful Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, a less visible crease, and the ability to more easily split apps access the folding display, and the Galaxy Z Fold 4 could be an awesome smartphone workhorse for capturing and editing photos and videos on the move.
Now if only Samsung could add in an S Pen holder, then the Galaxy Z Fold 4 could be a slam-dunk of a foldable phone. Sadly, the rumors indicate that's not going to happen. Either way, we expect to see Samsung unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 4 in August, as that would track with other reveals of its flagship foldables; expect it to be joined by the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. | https://www.tomsguide.com/news/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-4-leaker-just-tipped-a-killer-upgrade | 2022-07-07T12:52:51Z | https://www.tomsguide.com/news/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-4-leaker-just-tipped-a-killer-upgrade | true | 1 |
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Virgin Galactic announced Wednesday that it is partnering with a Boeing subsidiary to manufacture the next generation of the twin-fuselage aircraft used to carry aloft the space tourism company’s rocket ship.
Aurora Flight Sciences will build two of the special carrier planes at its facilities in Mississippi and West Virginia. Final assembly still will take place at Virgin Galactic’s facility in Mojave, California, with the first mothership produced under the contract expected to enter service in 2025.
Each of the aircraft will be designed to fly up to 200 launches per year.
Virgin Galactic officials said that outsourcing the work will provide access to labor, minimize supply chain disruptions and lead to faster production times. The company has repeatedly pushed back the timeline for launching paying customers, with commercial service now expected in 2023.
Virgin Galactic CEO Michael Colglazier said the next-generation motherships will be integral to scaling up the company’s operations.
“They will be faster to produce, easier to maintain and will allow us to fly substantially more missions each year,” he said in a statement. “Supported by the scale and strength of Boeing, Aurora is the ideal manufacturing partner for us.”
Virgin Galactic had assessed different aerospace manufacturers early in the process, but opted for Aurora in part because of its history of building cutting-edge aircraft. It has designed and built a new aircraft nearly every year for the past three decades.
Virgin Galactic officials also noted Aurora’s direct access to Boeing’s expertise and other resources.
Aurora and Virgin Galactic have been working for the last several months to develop design specifications as well as workforce and manufacturing requirements.
After reaching nearly 50,000 feet (15,000 meters), Virgin Galactic’s space plane is released from the carrier aircraft and drops for a moment before igniting its rocket motor. It shuts off once it reaches space, providing passengers with silence, weightlessness and a view of Earth below. The rocket ship then glides back to the spaceport runway.
It’s been nearly a year since Virgin Galactic launched founder Richard Branson and five Virgin Galactic employees toward the edge of space as the British entrepreneur raced to beat fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos and his rocket company Blue Origin.
Just weeks after the flight, Virgin Galactic reopened the ticket window, with prices starting at $450,000 a seat. By the fall, the company put off a planned research flight with members of the Italian air force and began scheduled assessments and maintenance of its aircrafts. | https://www.wjtv.com/news/business/ap-business/virgin-galactic-taps-boeing-subsidiary-to-build-motherships/ | 2022-07-07T12:53:05Z | https://www.wjtv.com/news/business/ap-business/virgin-galactic-taps-boeing-subsidiary-to-build-motherships/ | false | 45 |
NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRVI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing an investigational therapy Haduvio™ (oral nalbuphine ER) for prurigo nodularis and chronic cough in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), today announced that senior management will be attending The Twelfth London International Cough Symposium being held in London and virtually from July 13th – 14th.
The 12th LICS brings together clinicians and scientists in a forum to discuss the latest research advances and evolving ideas relating to acute and chronic cough in clinical disease, pathophysiological mechanisms, and novel treatments for cough.
To register for the event, please click here.
Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of the investigational therapy Haduvio for the treatment of prurigo nodularis and chronic cough in adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. These conditions share a common pathophysiology that is mediated through opioid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Founded in 2011, Trevi Therapeutics is headquartered in New Haven, CT.
Haduvio, an investigational therapy, is an oral extended-release (ER) formulation of nalbuphine. Nalbuphine is a mixed ĸ-opioid receptor agonist and µ-opioid receptor antagonist that has been approved and marketed as an injectable for pain indications for more than 20 years in the United States and Europe. The ĸ- and µ-opioid receptors are known to be critical mediators of itch, cough and certain movement disorders. Nalbuphine's mechanism of action may also mitigate the risk of abuse associated with µ-opioid agonists because it antagonizes, or blocks, µ-opioid receptors. Parenteral nalbuphine is not currently scheduled as a controlled substance by the DEA in the United States or by regulatory authorities in most of Europe. Trevi intends to propose Haduvio as the trade name for nalbuphine ER. Nalbuphine ER has been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA for the proposed indication of reduction of moderate to severe pruritus in adults with prurigo nodularis. Its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.

WASHINGTON, DC – Bipartisan Congressional opposition to President Biden’s recent green-lighting of the controversial sale of U.S. F-16 fighter jets and upgrade kits to Turkey is mounting with the Congressional Armenian Caucus and Hellenic Caucus leading the charge, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and Hellenic American Caucus Co-Chairs Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) were joined by Greek-American Representatives Chris Pappas (D-NH) and Dina Titus (D-NV) this week in calling on their Congressional colleagues to co-sign a letter to President Biden sharing their deep concern about the support he expressed for an F-16 sale to Turkey during the recent NATO summit in Madrid, Spain.
The Congressional letter notes, “Turkish and Turkish-backed forces have utilized American-made weaponry and components during these incursions to commit war crimes, including purposefully bombing civilian targets like hospitals and schools in Iraq, Syria and Nagorno Karabakh. They have also been used repeatedly to violate the sovereign territory of NATO allies and partners like Greece and Cyprus. These are hardly the actions of a committed ally to the United States and Europe.” The letter concludes by stating, “precedent shows that Erdogan will not change his behavior if we continue to reward his efforts to undermine the NATO alliance. The United States must not provide any further support to Turkey’s military until tangible steps are taken to halt his destabilizing actions and violations of international law at home and abroad.”
ANCA executive director Aram Hamparian welcomed this most recent Congressional effort to block the F-16 sale. “We join with our Hellenic allies and all our coalition partners in supporting Congressman Pallone’s call on President Biden to block Turkey’s purchase of F-16s – an advanced weapons system that Ankara will surely use to target, intimidate, and attack Greeks, Cypriots, Kurds, and Armenians,” stated Hamparian. “A strong show of support for this bipartisan letter – backed up by a sustained Congressional, coalition, and community drive to impose statutory restrictions on this reckless sale – is needed to avert a foreign policy disaster – the arming of Ankara, an openly anti-American power seeking to displace US leadership across a region vital to global security.”
The ANCA is working with Armenian Americans across the U.S. to secure support for the Pallone letter. Over the past month, ANCA Leo Sarkisian, Maral Melkonian Avetisyan, and Hovig Apo Saghdejian Capital Gateway Program summer interns and fellows have been joined ANCA Government Affairs director Tereza Yerimyan and Hamparian in meetings with over 100 Congressional offices sharing concerns about the pending F-16 sale to Turkey, as part of advancing broader pro-Artsakh / Armenian community priorities.
In addition to Representatives Pallone, Bilirakis, Maloney, Pappas and Titus, current co-signers of this most recent Congressional letter include Representatives Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), James McGovern (D-MA), John Sarbanes (D-MD), Janice Schakowsky (D-IL) and David Valadao (R-CA). Additional co-signers are expected in the upcoming days.
The ANCA is also supporting two amendments – #208 and #478 – to the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA – H.R.7900) which would effectively prohibit President Biden from selling or transferring F-16s or F-16 modernization kits to Turkey. Led by Representatives Chris Pappas (D-NH) and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), current co-sponsors of both measures include Representatives David Cicilline (D-RI), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Grace Meng (D-NY), Frank Pallone (D-NJ), John Sarbanes (D-MD), Brad Schneider (D-IL), and Dina Titus (D-NV). The House Rules Committee will determine as early as July 12th whether the amendments are “in order,” allowing a full House vote on the measures.
Earlier in the week, Representatives Carolyn Maloney, Bilirakis and Pappas issued strong statements opposing the Biden administration’s apparent plans to sell sensitive F-16 modernization kits to Turkey.
“I am deeply disappointed with the apparent plan to move forward with modernizing Turkey’s F-16s.” said Rep. Maloney “We must not forget that Turkey uses their current air fleet to violate the sovereignty of a reliable NATO member and ally, Greece, and that such a modernized force could be used to support their illegal occupation of Northern Cyprus. Furthermore, Turkey still possesses Russian S-400 anti-air systems, which led to their ejection from the F-35 program and the imposition of CAATSA sanctions We must continue to hold Erdogan accountable for violations of U.S. law, human rights, and the security of our ally Greece – not reward him.”
Rep. Bilirakis concurred, noting, “Turkey has consistently demonstrated a complete disregard for following international law. Erdogan repeatedly acts contrary to American interests, with his dangerous behavior contributing to the instability of the region. For all these reasons, we absolutely must not sell Turkey F-16s or F-16 modernization kits.”
Rep. Pappas shared, “I’m deeply concerned about Assistant Secretary Wallander’s comments in support of modernizing Turkish F-16s and strongly oppose the sale of advanced weapons and equipment to upgrade Turkey’s F-16 fleet. Turkey has failed to address the issues that led to its ejection from the F-35 program and the imposition of CAATSA sanctions. Turkey’s increasingly belligerent rhetoric and behavior towards Greece, a reliable democratic NATO ally, also cannot be ignored. Turkish F-16s have flown over Greek islands and violated its airspace hundreds of times in recent weeks, and Turkey has launched a baseless campaign disputing Greece’s sovereignty over its eastern Aegean islands. We cannot allow the Erdogan government to escape accountability for violating US law and the standards of the NATO alliance.”
In a joint statement, Representatives Bilirakis and Malliotakis remarked, “As members of the Congressional Hellenic Caucus, we remain strongly opposed to any sale of U.S. military equipment to Turkey and will continue to express our concerns to our colleagues on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The bond between Greece and the United States has only been strengthened over the last two centuries, and it’s incumbent upon Congress to stand together against aggression whether it comes from an adversary like Russia or a NATO ally like Turkey that continues to violate international law.”
Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) led a statement along with Reps. Chris Pappas, Charlie Crist (D-FL), Carolyn Maloney, Frank Pallone, and John Sarbanes outlining Turkey’s ongoing aggression against fellow NATO member, Greece. “Since the beginning of 2022 Turkey has violated the airspace of fellow NATO ally Greece over 2,377 times, including 120 overflights over Greek territory. Turkey’s antagonistic actions in the Aegean Sea, as well as their hostile stance towards the Greek government, make it clear that they do not intend to suspend these aggressive and destabilizing actions soon,” noted Rep. Titus and her colleagues.
In addition to the ANCA, the following U.S. civil society organizations are on the record opposing the sale of F-16s to Turkey: American Friends of Kurdistan, American Jewish Committee, Hellenic American Leadership Council, In Defense of Christians, Middle East Forum, and PSEKA – International Coordinating Committee Justice for Cyprus. | https://armenianweekly.com/2022/07/06/armenian-and-hellenic-caucus-leaders-rally-congressional-opposition-to-bidens-planned-f-16-sale-to-turkey/ | 2022-07-07T12:57:42Z | https://armenianweekly.com/2022/07/06/armenian-and-hellenic-caucus-leaders-rally-congressional-opposition-to-bidens-planned-f-16-sale-to-turkey/ | true | 3 |

However, her braid game proved to fall short of the required skills as her attempt came out looking quite different from the original hairstyle.

Ever since she was old enough for me to tell her anything, I’ve been telling my daughter that she could grow up to be whatever she wants to be, that no obstacle, big or small, would ever stand in her way.
I’ve told her that she’ll set her own destiny — that she’ll write the story of her life, and that only she can determine the way it turns out. I’d always believed it to be true. And after watching her grow and become the amazing young woman that she is, it’s always seemed like she believed it too.
Then last week happened. In a ruling that speaks not for the majority of Americans who want abortion to remain safe and legal, but for a tyrannical minority that’s spent decades working toward this moment, the Supreme Court blasted a hole right through that narrative. Five people – four of them men – all of them accountable to no one, struck down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that provided a constitutional right to abortion, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 ruling that codified that right.
Because fundamental to the belief that you set your own destiny is the freedom to control your own body, to make decisions about how, when, and whether you choose to have a child — if at all.
People are also reading…
And when my brave, proudly out child looked at us and told us she feared for her own safety, for her own future, the faces of millions of people nationwide fearing the same thing, looked back at us.
If the state can force you to give birth, if it can take away that fundamental control, then it’s entirely possible for the state to take away other freedoms that Americans have taken for granted for generations.
Indeed, in chilling terms, Justice Clarence Thomas opened the door to just such an eventuality, arguing that high court precedents establishing rights for LGBTQ Americans, along with the right to access contraception, now also are fair game.
Thomas wrote that those rulings “were demonstrably erroneous decisions,” once again speaking for a tyrannical minority, not the majorities of Americans who both support access to contraception and equal rights for LGBTQ Americans.
And if that’s the case, are all of the high court’s super-precedents, from Brown v. Board of Education, which desegregated the public schools to Loving v. Virginia, which struck down bans on interracial marriage, now also vulnerable? It’s not hard to conceive of that being the case.
If we’re to follow the logic of Justice Samuel Alito, none of those rights conferred by those historical rulings were specifically enumerated by the slave-owning, landed white men who were conspicuously silent about women when they crafted the young nation’s foundational document.
But through decades of jurisprudence, often at terrible cost, those rights were won. Black Americans and women were granted those core freedoms. In 2015, love won, and those freedoms and protections were granted to LGBTQ Americans.
That march forward has never been perfect. We’re reminded continually that progress cannot be taken for granted. It’s a reality driven home by the civil rights marches of the last two years, and most viscerally by the would-be fascists who tried to topple the 2020 election.
But besides taking away the rights of millions of people, the high court did something just as damaging — it took a torch to its own credibility; it demolished its standing as a guarantor of the protections in the document each justice took an oath to uphold and protect.
Over the weekend, for the first time in generations, Americans woke up in a country demonstrably less free and less equal than it was the day before.
And with the battle over abortion rights now moving to the states, and with my daughter and millions of people who can become pregnant looking to recover the freedoms that rightfully are theirs, they’ll have to do what the generations before them did: they’ll have to fight for them.
And with our collective freedoms, our shared humanity on the line, it’s going to take all of us to wage it.

Schwazze Will Host A Grand Opening on July 9, 2022 To Debut The Remodeled Star Buds In Aurora, Colorado
DENVER, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Schwazze, (OTCQX: SHWZ) (NEO: SHWZ), a vertically integrated regional cannabis company with assets in Colorado and New Mexico, announces the evolution of the Star Buds brand with the remodel of two Star Buds cannabis dispensaries in Colorado. Schwazze will debut the first Star Buds dispensary to display the brand evolution and renovation on July 9, 2022 at its Montview store located at 10100 E Montview Blvd, Aurora, CO 80010.
Star Buds is a premier marijuana dispensary that offers a wide selection of products and best-in-class service. The Star Buds evolution is designed to capture a 70s retro persona; fun-loving, easy-going, and one that never lets you down. The Star Buds evolution highlights that each location is more than a dispensary, as they embody a nostalgic presence about the good times, while also helping customers find their way.
The Star Buds brand evolution moves away from a color theme traditionally used within the cannabis industry and incorporates a warmer color scheme of kelly green, yellow, and orange. The dispensaries feature in-store signage that highlight distinctly unique Star Buds phrases such as, "Good Vibes This Way," "Find Your Happy," "The Freshest Greens Served Daily," including brand pillar messaging of the Company's core values: "Top Quality, Widest Selection, Stellar Service." The new design provides an enhanced consumer experience and more space for budtenders to better serve customers.
"We're proud to debut the Star Buds brand evolution, driven by the team at Schwazze, to offer our customers a fun, colorful environment that combines the traditional bud bar model with a shop-the-store, more hands-on experience," said Collin Lodge, Vice President of Retail for Schwazze. "As owners of Star Buds in Colorado, our stores are entering a new era that aligns perfectly with our mission of offering the widest selection of top quality products with stellar service."
The festivities celebrating the debut of the first Star Buds brand evolution and renovation kick off on Saturday, July 9, 2022 at 11 am. The first 50 customers will receive a backpack filled with Star Buds branded swag. The celebration will feature games, giveaways, a social media scavenger hunt, and representatives from various prominent cannabis brands, such as Wana, O.Pen, Willie's Reserve, Ripple and more. The dispensary, located at 10100 E Montview Blvd, Aurora, CO will offer in-store discounts all weekend.
In late summer 2022, Schwazze will complete the remodel of Star Buds Glendale located at 492 S Colorado Blvd, Glendale, CO 80246. The brand evolution and remodel follows the acquisition of 13 Colorado Star Buds locations in March of 2021. The acquisition and brand evolution of the Star Buds retail spaces are part of a proven integration, which has grown the total number of Colorado dispensaries to 23 along with four cultivation facilities.

SEE Monster is finally set to arrive in Weston-super-Mare - and the details surrounding its arrival can finally be revealed. The huge 450-tonne platform will be transported on a flatbed barge the size of a football pitch to its new home at the Tropicana.
It will be lifted by crane over the seawall onto preconstructed legs that have been standing since early May. Following its planned arrival on Tuesday (July 12), it is now hoped the attraction will be ready to open on the August Bank Holiday weekend in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
The retired offshore rigging platform is to be transformed into a giant art installation with its own garden and waterfall - with members of the public able to walk around and explore the impressive machine.
READ MORE: SEE Monster: First look at the brand new offshore platform to be installed in Weston-super-Mare
The art installation is expected to attract more than 200,000 visitors over its opening period, and is part of UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK, - a free, national collection of ten large-scale, public art engagement projects that will showcase the UK’s creativity and innovation to the world.
Visitors and residents to Weston-super-Mare will witness the transformation of SEE Monster, commissioned as part of UNBOXED, as construction takes place over the coming weeks. Once the installation is completed, SEE Monster will be experienced from the seafront, beach and onboard.
It will feature four publicly-accessible levels animated by a 10-metre-high waterfall; a 6,000-piece kinetic installation forming the monster’s shimmering scales; an onboard oasis of grasses, plants and trees selected to thrive in a seaside micro-climate; and a seated amphitheatre and broadcast studio, forming a platform for conversations about reuse and sustainable futures.
SEE Monster has been brought to life by Leeds-based creative studio NEWSUBSTANCE in collaboration with Dose of Society, REDHOUSE Productions, Rocket Women, Empowering Women with Tech, sculptor Ivan Black, and representatives from The British Antarctic Survey, and is supported by North Somerset Council.
Patrick O’Mahony, creative director and founder of NEWSUBSTANCE said, “This world-first project is a truly challenging and ambitious feat of design and engineering.
"From our creative collaborators to North Somerset and Weston Town Councils, and from local communities and businesses to the energy and environment industry, we are immensely grateful to those who have supported us in bringing this once-in-a-lifetime educational and creative experience to Weston-super-Mare.
"From experiments in renewable energy generation to the reuse of major industrial structures, SEE Monster will be a platform for conversations about our future.”
Martin Green, chief creative officer, UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK said, "SEE Monster is an inspirational and awe-inspiring project that embodies the ambition of UNBOXED, to celebrate creative collaboration across science, engineering and the arts.
"The transformation of a decommissioned platform into one of the UK’s most ambitious public art installations is an unprecedented undertaking and will offer a blueprint for the reuse of industrial structures that everyone involved should be proud of.”
Councillor Mark Canniford, executive member for placemaking and economy at North Somerset Council, said: “North Somerset Council has worked closely with NEWSUBSTANCE throughout the project, and we are excited that SEE Monster is on its way.
"There will be an impressive calendar of events and activities planned across the town to celebrate its time here and we look forward to welcoming visitors from across the country to share in this unique event.”

Each year as my color design guru son James orders plants for use at his clients' homes, from those that look like historic cottages to palatial garden estates, those on the waterfront to those considered mountainous. The one color I can guarantee will be in heavy use is white.
When spring arrives every year with all of its glorious purples, pinks, yellows and reds, the color guaranteed to catch your eye every time is white. (Of course, a scientist would most likely say white is not a color; it absorbs no other color or wavelength and is pure.)
Pure and unspoiled goes in hand with the bride wearing a white dress, or the nurse wearing a white uniform. It’s like the morning you wake and see the pure white snow on the ground that hasn’t been violated in any way.
Mother Nature does this in the spring forest. The dogwoods seem to glow with their blooms, attracting our attention to the glistening, reflective bracts in an otherwise simple scene of green.
White flowers say planning and precision
White flowers like this year’s new Soprano impatiens not only give definition to shadier areas of the landscape, but also offer a sense of cleanliness and purity. They also give a feeling of planning and precision. In other words, the gardener knew what they were doing by carefully planting white.
When possible, use white bedding plants like Supertunia Vista Silverberry, Supertunia Vista Snowdrift or Supertunia Mini Vista White at the front of the border, along sidewalks or trails to define where the walkway begins. This makes the nighttime stroll in the garden come alive.
Out in the landscape proper the hydrangeas rule like royalty whether they are varieties of the native Oakleaf (Hydrangea quercifolia), the native smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) or the pee gees (Hydrangea paniculata). Could there be a reason they named it Limelight?
Give a vertical dimension with climbers and tumblers
White is the last color to disappear as the sun sets in the evening. If it is a moonlit night, white flowers they will reflect the light all night. Use flowering vines like the Proven Winners new Thunbergia, Coconut A-Peel, or the topical Bombshell White mandevilla to add nighttime interest, as they give a vertical element by climbing Victorian-style tower or trellis. This year’s new Fairytrail Bride, the first cascading hydrangea, can turn an urn into a living piece of statuary in the moonlit garden.
While The Garden Guy loves hot orange, red and salmon, if you walked onto my patio tonight, you would see the Superbena Whiteout verbenas tumbling over the rims of containers and cascading over the rock wall in the distance. This is a verbena for all time, offering vigor and large flowers glistening in the moonlight.
Making the moonlit garden magical
The moonlit garden can be magical with the addition of shrubs with white fragrant flowers. This will be the place where childhood memories are made. Memories of mom and dad, and how life was back then. Proven Winners has introduced the Illuminati series of fragrant Mock Oranges, which will have three varieties with the addition of the new Illuminati Sparks in 2023. Then there are the native Clethra or summersweet, like Vanilla Spice and Sugartina Crystalina, that by the mere mention of their name signals olfactory experience. The shrub that everyone has been talking about, however, is Fizzy Mizzy, a compact fragrant native Virginia sweetspire making its debut this year.
The moonlit garden is enchanting, and it just takes a little planning. The prerequisite is the color white. Every aspect of the landscape can have white included. Here's hoping you will give it a try. | https://www.gmtoday.com/gardening/on-gardening-the-color-white-and-the-moonlit-garden-enchanting-magical-and-full-of-memories/article_e4b0aec8-fde8-11ec-9993-37db371fb235.html | 2022-07-07T13:31:48Z | https://www.gmtoday.com/gardening/on-gardening-the-color-white-and-the-moonlit-garden-enchanting-magical-and-full-of-memories/article_e4b0aec8-fde8-11ec-9993-37db371fb235.html | true | 8 |
The mapping data and products will assist ICI in advancing sustainable infrastructure, improving disaster and climate resilience, and updating nautical charts.
RAROTONGA, Cook Islands, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Woolpert has been contracted by Infrastructure Cook Islands (ICI) to collect topographic and bathymetric lidar data and aerial imagery across the Cook Islands. The multimillion-dollar contract is funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Green Climate Fund.
The data and products developed under this contract will help ICI improve and advance sustainable infrastructure development, environmental monitoring and assessment, natural hazard planning and mitigation, disaster and climate resilience, and nautical charting. ICI Project Manager Jake Langdon said the data and imagery will support better management and planning.
"Lidar data enables us to model the landscape and seascape and understand how they both change over time to identify specific regions most at risk to natural disaster, climate change and other environmental issues," Langdon said. "We can use this information to focus our resources, reinforce emergency transport routes, protect people and infrastructure in harm's way, and mitigate the overall impact of natural disasters before they strike."
This project will cover approximately 229 square kilometers, including terrestrial, lagoon and offshore components across the 12 inhabited islands of the Cook Islands. To support work in the remote northern islands, Woolpert Project Manager Constance Solemani is working closely with regional partners and ICI to coordinate complicated logistics, including the prepositioning of jet fuel for acquisition efforts.
This project is the latest in Woolpert's geospatial data acquisitions across the Pacific, including recent collections in Vanuatu and Tonga.

PITTSFIELD — In the year since the first of the federal coronavirus relief money was delivered to Pittsfield’s bank accounts, officials have allocated or earmarked close to $23 million worth of projects — slightly more than half what’s headed to the city.
Most of the money that’s been put under contract has gone to community projects. The city’s special projects co-managers, Gina Armstrong and Deanna Ruffer, say the majority of the early community programs are scheduled to begin this month.
All told, Mayor Linda Tyer’s administration has directed about $9 million to community organizations in two rounds of giving. It has budgeted about $5.5 million for several city-led public health projects, infrastructure upgrades and administrative costs; and committed another $1.9 million for capital improvement projects in the newly started fiscal year.
Mayor Linda Tyer had planned to direct only another $100,000 to community organizations after granting $5.9 million in April. Tyer said when the applications for the second round came in, she decided to allot more.
The remaining $6 million or so of that $23 million figure is “earmarked.” It will flow to projects officials have identified, but not yet funded.
Community awards
Over two proposal cycles, Tyer’s administration selected 37 organizations — 18 in the first round and 19 in the second — to support with ARPA funds.
These projects run the gamut of ARPA spending categories: from the $800,000 going to Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity to expand its housing navigator network, to the $100,000 to Mass MoCA for the creation of a Pittsfield-based Assets for Artists program. A smaller grant will provide $10,000 to Berkshire Nursing Families to expand its lactation and parenting support program for Pittsfield families.
Armstrong said almost all of the first group of recipients has signed contracts with the city and will begin work on funded projects in the coming weeks, on a reimbursement basis.
The contracts — which Ruffer said are similar to the contracts used to administer federal Community Development Block Grant funds — allow organizations with enough liquidity to begin work with their own money and then return to the city with their receipts.
A smaller group of organizations require a partial advance on their awarded ARPA funds. Armstrong said the city is working on finalizing those contracts.
While Ruffer said the Treasury Department has emphasized simplicity in getting money to municipalities and organizations, these funds don’t come without a certain number of strings.
Programs that get money — which account for all but five of the awards — are required to give the city, and then the federal government, information on the demographics of the communities served as well as measurable goals — such as the number of jobs created, homes built or food assistance provided.
“It’s humbling to see the breadth of impact to our community from the pandemic and the breadth of organizations in the community who are working hard to help our residents and small businesses,” Ruffer said.
City projects
Early city-led ARPA projects have focused on coronavirus efforts like additional contact tracing and test kits, pandemic-related heating, ventilation and air-conditioning upgrades to city and school buildings, and administrative costs.
Some of these upgrades, like $4.3 million officials expect will be needed to update the Pittsfield High School’s heating and ventilation system, have yet to make their way onto spending reports, a sign the project is still a ways off.
Major repairs and updates to the city's Ashley Water Treatment Plant, upgrades to the Berkshire Family YMCA's child care center, and a second round of funding for the At Home in Pittsfield renovation project are the big-ticket items earmarked by city officials for money from federal coronavirus aid money.
Others, like a $30,000 upgrade to the steam traps at Crosby Elementary School, are reportedly completed.
The city’s recently published capital improvement plan shows how the city’s use of ARPA money will shift in the coming years. The document offers clues to how the administration has been “earmarking” ARPA dollars and how project costs have shifted.
The administration initially thought it would spend $500,000 on sidewalk upgrades around the Morningside and West Side neighborhoods. But the capital improvement plan now has those costs at $700,0000.
Recreational projects have also begun to pop up on city plans. The capital plan calls for $500,000 to be spent this fiscal year on constructing a pickleball facility and $650,000 to be spent rehabilitating Springside Pond over the course of the next two fiscal years.
The city has committed to spending $360,000 to replace the carpet in the Berkshire Athenaeum and $173,000 to improve the library’s security and inventory controls. Officials also plan major renovations to the city’s fire stations, with $155,000 put towards kitchen improvements, $250,000 for window replacement and $105,000 for air conditioners.
Still looming in the city’s projects is a big overhaul of the Ashley Water Treatment Plant Facility. The city’s financial reports to the Treasury Department show the ARPA portion of that project comes in at $4.5 million, with an initial $530,000 spent as of March. A twin project on the Ashley Lake dam is slotted for $100,000 in ARPA funds. | https://www.berkshireeagle.com/news/central_berkshires/pittsfield-arpa-projects/article_2985057e-fd64-11ec-90bd-afe34fc2618f.html | 2022-07-07T13:39:59Z | https://www.berkshireeagle.com/news/central_berkshires/pittsfield-arpa-projects/article_2985057e-fd64-11ec-90bd-afe34fc2618f.html | true | 1 |
LONDON (AP) — Boris Johnson has caved in to a Conservative Party revolt after months of ethics scandals and resigned as party leader, but he remains Britain's prime minister — for now — while a successor is chosen.
With British politics in turmoil, here’s a look at what will happen next:
CONSERVATIVE CONTEST
Johnson's resignation on Thursday, which came after dozens of ministers quit his government in protest, sparks a party contest to replace him as leader. All Conservative lawmakers are eligible to run, and party officials could open the nominations within hours.
After candidates have come forward, Conservative lawmakers vote in a series of elimination rounds. The candidate with the lowest number of votes drops out, and voting continues until there are two contenders left. Depending on the number of candidates, the process could be completed within days.
The final two candidates will be put to a vote of the full party membership across the country — about 180,000 people — by postal ballot. That process is expected to take several weeks, with the exact timetable up to the 1922 Committee that runs party elections.
The winner of the vote will become both Conservative leader and prime minister, without the need for a national election.
Already the list of likely contenders is long and growing, from recently resigned Treasury chief Rishi Sunak, his successor in that job Nadhim Zahawi, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Attorney General Suella Braverman and Defense Secretary Ben Wallace.
WHO’S IN CHARGE?
While Johnson has resigned as party leader, but he is still prime minister until his successor is elected.
His predecessor, Theresa May, remained in office for more than a month between announcing her resignation and the selection of Johnson as the new Tory leader.
But many Conservatives say Johnson can’t stay in office -- he has simply lost too many ministers through resignations to be able to govern. They are demanding he step down as prime minister and let an interim leader take the reins. If he does that, Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab is a likely caretaker candidate.
ANOTHER CRISIS?
Johnson shows no signs of going early. He appointed several new Cabinet ministers on Thursday to replace those he has lost, and said they would “serve as I will until a new leader is in place.”
If party officials press Johnson to quit sooner and he refuses, the chaos engulfing the government could worsen in the short term. Already the government has had to cancel business in Parliament because it has no ministers available to attend.
Gavin Barwell, who served as chief of staff to Prime Minister Theresa May, said “there was a “question whether the PM will be able to lead a caretaker government in the meantime -- will enough ministers agree to serve?”

CAIRO (AP) — Two leading human rights groups on Thursday accused Egyptian authorities of failing to conduct an impartial and transparent investigation into the suspicious death of an economic researcher in custody.
In a joint statement, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International accused Egyptian prosecutors of having turned a blind eye to “mounting evidence” that 48-year-old Ayman Hadhoud disappeared, was tortured, and was denied access to timely healthcare.
Hadhoud's whereabouts were unknown for two months before he was pronounced dead in April. The Interior Ministry said then that he had died in the government-run Abbasiya Mental Health Hospital in Cairo where he was brought for allegedly attempting to break into an apartment in the upscale Zamalek district of Cairo and exhibited “irresponsible behavior.”
His suspicious death had raised alarm among local and international rights groups, especially after his family alleged that his body had facial bruises and a cracked skull.
“The severely flawed investigation into the causes and circumstances of Ayman Hadhoud’s death in custody is another stark reminder of the impunity crisis in Egypt,” said Philip Luther, Middle East and North Africa Research and Advocacy Director at Amnesty International. “Failure to adequately investigate and ensure accountability for his suspicious death only emboldens security forces to continue violating detainees’ right to life with no fear of consequences.”
Last month, an Egyptian court rejected an appeal filed by Hadhoud's family to reinvestigate the evidence and the circumstances of his death. The court upheld the prosecutors' decision to close the case and to rule out any criminal suspicion.
Earlier, prosecutors had refused demands to allow independent observers to attend the autopsy of Hadhoud's body, and ultimately concluded that had died of chronic heart disease that led to a cardiac and respiratory arrest.
“Prosecutors have systematically neglected to investigate allegations of enforced disappearance and torture, and have admitted confessions extracted under torture as evidence in trials,” read the statement.
Both advocacy groups claimed that they had obtained leaked documents from the hospital showing that Hadhoud's health was deteriorating while in custody. However, authorities failed to transfer him promptly to a better-equipped medical facility where his life could have been saved, the groups said.
Torture and abuse by police are not unusual in Egypt. In 2016, Giulio Regeni, an Italian doctoral student, was found dead on the side of a Cairo road. His body had been brutalized, raising suspicions of police involvement. Italy accused police officers of killing him, a charge that Egypt denied.
On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch issued another joint statement with the Canada-based Fair Square group urging Egyptian authorities to lift all arbitrary travel bans that have been put in place in recent years to punish civil society activists and human rights advocates.
“The bans, which authorities usually do not formally announce and provide no clear way to challenge them in court, have separated families, damaged careers, and harmed the mental health of those subjected to them,” said the statement.
The statement came a day after the kick-off of political talks dubbed “The National Dialogue”, where the government has invited for the first time in years political opponents to share their views on top political and economic issues. The talks, sponsored by President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, came on the heels of the release of dozens of political activists in recent months.
Since rising to power in 2013, el-Sissi has rolled back many of the freedoms that were gained following the 2011 Arab Spring uprising that toppled the country’s longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

Recession worries have pushed investors to seek safety in the US dollar. AUD/USD has more downside potential. The pair is facing resistance in the charts. Thursday’s AUD/USD forecast is bearish as recession worries push more investors to the safe-haven dollar. “Ultimately, people who say the dollar is going to weaken because the market is not pricing in as many interest rate hikes from the Fed as before are forgetting that the dollar is also a haven,” said Jane Foley, head of FX strategy at Rabobank. -Are you interested to find high leverage brokers? Check our detailed guide- “If we are, coincidentally, looking at a potential recession in the eurozone and the UK, and if global growth is coming down…what are you going to buy if you sell the dollar?” The dollar will likely remain strong against most currencies in these uncertain times; therefore, AUD/USD’s downside is still significant. The June meeting minutes showed a lot of concern that the continued rise in inflation would reduce faith in the Fed’s ability to tame it. For this reason, the bank keeps tightening its policy despite the risk of recession. AUD/USD key events today There won’t be any significant news releases from Australia today, so all focus will be on the United States. Investors will pay attention to the number of people who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time in the past week. Initial jobless claims point to the state of unemployment in the US and how the labor market is faring amid rising interest rates. Investors will also expect to hear speeches from Fed and FOMC members later today. Get FREE Forex Signals Now!

VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — Lithuania will present a combat drone to Ukraine that was donated by the Turkish manufacturer after a private crowdfunding campaign among ordinary Lithuanians, who raised nearly 6 million euros ($6.1 million) for the purpose within days.
The campaign's success inspired Turkey's Baykar defense company, which makes the Bayraktar TB2 drone, to provide it free of cost. Some of the money raised in Lithuania was used to arm the drone, and the rest will be funneled to Ukraine to address “critical needs,” the Lithuanian government said.
Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas presented the drone, which arrived in the country earlier this week, to the public at a local air base.
“One weapon won’t win a war but symbols are extremely important in any war,” he told public broadcaster LRT Wednesday. It will be handed over to Ukraine in the coming days.
The crowdfunding initiative was launched at the end of May with a target amount of 5 million euros, which it reached in just days as thousands of citizens chipped in.
Lithuania, a Baltic nation of 2.8 million that's a former Soviet republic, is among the most active supporters of Ukraine and has provided military aid to Kyiv on a regular basis since Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Lithuanian-crowdfunding-drive-gets-Ukraine-an-17289727.php | 2022-07-07T13:50:30Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Lithuanian-crowdfunding-drive-gets-Ukraine-an-17289727.php | true | 35 |
(The Hill) – The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) conducted purportedly random, intensive audits of two former top FBI officials who drew the ire of former President Trump, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.
The Times published letters received by former FBI Director James Comey and Andrew McCabe, his deputy who became acting director after Trump fired Comey, indicating the IRS was conducting National Research Program audits of their 2017 and 2019 tax returns, respectively.
“We must examine randomly-selected tax returns to better understand tax compliance and improve the fairness of the tax system,” both letters state.
Trump has repeatedly criticized both men for their roles in investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, both during and after their time at the bureau.
The Times reported that the odds of being selected for the specific audit were tiny, with the IRS having targeted about one in every 30,600 tax returns for the intensive scrutiny in 2017.
“Maybe it’s a coincidence or maybe somebody misused the IRS to get at a political enemy,” Comey told the Times. “Given the role Trump wants to continue to play in our country, we should know the answer to that question.”
Comey received a $347 refund after the audit, while McCabe, who echoed similar concerns about his audit, owed a small amount of money, according to the Times.
“The revenue agent I dealt with was professional and responsive,” McCabe told the Times. “Nevertheless, I have significant questions about how or why I was selected for this.”
Trump appointee Charles Rettig ran the IRS during both of the men’s audits.
The IRS in a statement to The Hill denied the audits were politically motivated but said allegations of wrongdoing are “routinely” referred to the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration for further review.
“Federal privacy laws preclude us from discussing specific taxpayer situations,” the IRS said.
“Audits are handled by career civil servants, and the IRS has strong safeguards in place to protect the exam process — and against politically motivated audits,” the statement continued. “It’s ludicrous and untrue to suggest that senior IRS officials somehow targeted specific individuals for National Research Program audits.”
A Trump spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.
Both Comey and McCabe repeatedly came under fire from Trump during his presidency.
Comey’s decision to reopen an investigation into then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private email server two weeks before the 2016 election was seen by many Democrats as a contributor to her eventual loss.
But Trump fired Comey nearly four months into his term as president. At the time, Trump cited recommendations to dismiss Comey from then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
But in the years since, Trump has offered varying explanations for why he removed the former FBI director and has at times acknowledged the Russia investigation played a role.
Comey’s firing in May 2017 led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to probe potential links between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as possible obstruction of justice.
Sessions fired McCabe just a day before he was scheduled to retire amid allegations he lied about leaking information about Clinton’s private email server. McCabe filed a lawsuit in 2019 claiming his firing was politically motivated. | https://wgno.com/news/nmw/comey-mccabe-faced-rare-intensive-tax-audits-by-irs-under-trump-appointee-report/ | 2022-07-07T13:52:15Z | https://wgno.com/news/nmw/comey-mccabe-faced-rare-intensive-tax-audits-by-irs-under-trump-appointee-report/ | true | 22 |
India’s finished steel exports in June this year have been provisionally estimated at 638,000 mt, registering a decline of 53 percent year on year, according to the data of the Joint Plan Committee (JPC) under the ministry of steel and the sole official compiler of industry data.
The sharp decline in exports came in wake of the imposition of a 15 percent export tax levied by the government in late May this year.
Finished steel exports during the first quarter (April-June) of the fiscal year 2022-23 have been provisionally estimated at 2.19 million mt, a decline of 38 percent year on year.
Production of finished steel in June this year in India has been estimated at 9.71 million mt, up 11.2 percent, and finished steel consumption in India has been estimated at 9.26 million mt, a rise of 13.3 percent, both year on year. | https://www.steelorbis.com/steel-news/latest-news/indias-finished-steel-exports-down-53-percent-in-june-1251428.htm | 2022-07-07T13:54:23Z | https://www.steelorbis.com/steel-news/latest-news/indias-finished-steel-exports-down-53-percent-in-june-1251428.htm | false | null |

Three more Sri Lanka players test positive for COVID-19
July 7 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka suffered a blow ahead of the second test against Australia when three more players were ruled out on Thursday after contracting COVID-19.
Sri Lanka are trailing 1-0 in the two-test series after their 10-wicket defeat in the first test in Galle. The second test will be played at the same venue from Friday.
All-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva, pace bowler Asitha Fernando and spinner Jeffrey Vandersay are the latest players to test positive for the virus, taking the total number of cases in the Sri Lankan camp during the series to five.
The hosts, however, will be strengthened by the return of former skipper Angelo Mathews, who will be available for selection, having been withdrawn during the first test after contracting the virus.

Canadian swimmer Mary-Sophie Harvey says she was drugged at World Aquatics Championships
By Amy Woodyatt and Matt Foster, CNN
Canadian swimmer Mary-Sophie Harvey says she was drugged on the final night of the 2022 World Aquatics Championships, last month in Budapest.
The swimmer, who won a bronze medal in the women’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay said she remembers “celebrating my competition,” but then came a “four-to-six hour window where I can’t recall a single thing.”
She says she woke up the next morning with her team manager and doctor at her bedside.
“I’ve never felt more ashamed,” she wrote on Instagram Wednesday, adding that she experienced “judgment” in the wake of the incident.
The Olympian said she suffered a rib sprain and concussion and found “a dozen bruises” on her body, which she said her friends told her that it was probably from them having to carry her while she was unconscious.
She posted pictures of the bruises on her Instagram.
“I ended up going to the hospital, where I was met with doctors & psychologists. They tested and treated me the best way they could,” she said.
“They told me it happens more often [than] we think and that I was lucky in a way, to get out of this with a rib sprain and a small concussion.
“It did help me cure some of the fears I had but sadly not all of them,” she said.
The swimmer warned of a “dangerous increasing number” of similar cases and shared several screenshots of news reports about drink spiking.
“To anyone reading this, please be careful,” she wrote.
CNN has reached out to Harvey for further comment. It’s unclear if she reported the incident to police. She does not address how it might have happened.
CNN has reached out to Swimming Canada for comment. A spokesman did issue a statement to the Canadian Press, according to the CBC.
“We are aware there was an incident the night before departure from Budapest,” Swimming Canada spokesman Nathan White said in an email to The Canadian Press. “As soon as team staff became aware, Mary received excellent medical treatment from our team physician on site, and was cleared to travel home.
“Staff have been in contact with Mary since her return and we are offering her support. We continue to gather information on the situation, and the file has been forwarded to our independent Safe Sport officer.”
World swimming’s governing body FINA said it was aware of the “deeply distressing media reports” and was “deeply concerned” about Harvey’s wellbeing.
“We are in contact with Swimming Canada and the Local Organising Committee. In 2021, FINA adopted widespread measures aimed at safeguarding athletes and an Independent Investigation Officer will be assigned to investigate the matter further,” FINA said in a statement.

Wimbledon FREE BETS with Nadal, Halep & Kyrgios in action
Stay up to date with all the latest from the All England Club...
Maria levels it up
We are going the distance on Centre!
Tatjana Maria has taken the second set against Ons Jabeur.
Who will take the decisive third set?
All the love
They have won the last TEN Grand Slam doubles titles together.
But today the Brits were on opposite sides of the net.
Alfie Hewitt beat his close pal Gordon Reid in three sets in their wheelchair singles quarter-final.
And there was a lovely moment between the pair at the net at the end.
Nadal DOES practice
I can confirm Rafael Nadal has taken to the court today.
He headed out on to pretty much the further Aorangi practice court possible - and Wimbledon ensured there were no photographers able to get near (although we have a few from long distance to prove he was on the court!).
Marca are reporting he has a 7mm abdominal tear - which explains why he mainly hit forehand and backhands with a few under-powered serves.
Will he play tomorrow? We are still unsure.
But one thing I can guarantee you is Rafael Nadal will do all he can to be on Centre Court to face Nick Kyrgios.
Brit bossing it
Salisbury and his partner Ram have taken the second set against Purcell and Ebden.
They won the tie-break 7-1 and are now a set away from the final.
Remember, there is more British action later when Neal Skupski teams up with Desirae Krawczyk in the mixed doubles final.
They take on Ebden and Sam Stosur.
Could it be double doubles heartache for Ebden against the Brits...?
Maria battling
Tatjana Maria is not rolling over against her "barbecue buddy" Jabeur.
She gets the first break of this second set and now leads 5-2.
Jabeur takes first set
The Tunisian is a set away from her maiden Grand Slam final.
She got another break at 4-2 and serves it out.
Over on No1, Ram and Salisbury lead 6-3 5-5 over Ebden and Purcell.
Keir kiss
It is case of love-flirty rather than 0-30 on Centre Court this afternoon.
That is because Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has been getting cosy with wife Victoria during the first semi of the day.
To be fair, not much going in the world of politics right now so why not enjoy a day out at the tennis...
Jabeur vs Maria underway
The first ladies' semi-finals has begun on Centre.
Maria just about held in the first game after saving a string of break points before Jabeur had no such issues in her first service game.
1-1.
Will Rafa practice?
That is the big question reverberating around the media centre here at Wimbledon.
I can confirm Nadal IS on site, he arrived in the last hour.
But he did not make his practice session on Court 10 from 12.30-1.30.
Although the club would no doubt give him the green light to switch to a more private practice court at Aorangi later should he want one.
It is still unclear whether or not Nadal will have a hit today as he tries to manage the injured abdominal that severely hampered him against Taylor Fritz yesterday.
He is due to play Nick Kyrgios in the semis tomorrow - but admitted last night he "doesn't know" if he will be fit to play.
More Salisbury drama
Oh here we go again!
The Brit-American duo were involved in a spat during their win yesterday as a ball that was called long and looked well out was said to be in by the Hawkeye system - cue a meltdown from the pair.
And in just the second game today, there is more tension.
Salisbury chases down a drop shot and thinks he makes it before the second bounce.
He flicks the ball over the net and Purcell catches it because he thinks he has won the point.
Salisbury is not happy with the Aussie's actions - and gets the backing of the chair umpire who also believes the Brit legally returned the ball.
And therefore Salisbury got the point.
A few words are exchanged at the net but it's quickly forgotten as the Aussies hold.
Brit watch
There is also some very important action involving Brits today.
On Court No1 right now we have Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram in doubles action.
The top seeds face Aussie pairing Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell hoping to book a spot in the final.
Another exciting day in prospect
Today is the day where the ladies take Centre stage.
First up on the main showcourt from 1.30pm is No3 seed Ons Jabeur against close friend, 34-year-old German Tatjana Maria.
Then after that it is 2019 champ Simona Halep - on a 12-match winning streak at the All England Club - taking on Elena Rybakina.
The two winners of these semi-finals will face off in Saturday's final.
Murray backs Norrie to win
Andy Murray is backing Cameron Norrie to cause an upset when he faces Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals.
Norrie disposed of David Goffin in the last round to set up a tantalising tie with Djokovic in the semi's.
But Brit legend Murray thinks Norrie has what it takes to get past the Serbian.
He said: "It is an unbelievably difficult ask but the thing that you can guarantee with Cam is he will give himself the best opportunity to win because he will fight for every single point, he’s going to compete extremely hard and he doesn’t make it easy for anyone.”
Nadal doubts Kyrgios clash
Rafa Nadal isn't sure if he'll be fit to face Nick Kyrgios in the semi-final.
Nadal struggled to finish his victory over Taylor Fritz in the last round due to physical issues.
And the Spaniard doesn't know if the pain will wear off in time for his final four clash with Kyrgios.
When asked about the probability of the eagerly anticipated tie, he said: "I don't know.
"Honestly, I can't give you a clear answer because if I gave you a clear answer and tomorrow another thing happens, I will be a liar."
Djokovic and Nadal discussed
Novak Djokovic is the only man who can match Rafa Nadal's record of 22 Grand Slams, according to Botic van de Zandschulp.
De Zandschulp lost to Nadal in Wimbledon's last 16 stage, and he reckons Djokovic is the only man who can rival the Spaniard.
Djokovic and Nadal can meet in the final if they defeat their respective opponents in the semi's tomorrow.
Nadal takes on Nick Kyrgios, while Djokovic faces British hope Cameron Norrie.
And De Zandschulp said when assessing Nadal and Djokovic's chances: "Playing against Nadal on clay is the most difficult challenge you can face in this sport.
"We are talking about a player who has won 22 Grand Slams, it is an incredible record. I believe that only Novak Djokovic can match him."
Kyrgios reveals semi-final disbelief
Nick Kyrgios revealed his disbelief after reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals.
The Aussie ace got the better of Cristian Garin to steam into the last four.
But Kyrgios is in shock over the result as he thought he missed his shot to compete at the highest level due to poor career choices early on.
He said: "An amazing atmosphere out here again. I just never thought that I would be in the semi-finals at a Grand Slam. I thought that ship had sailed.
"I didn’t go about things great earlier in my career and may have missed my window.
"I am really proud of the way I have come back out here”.
Good morning tennis fans
Rafa Nadal admitted he might not play his blockbuster Wimbledon semi-final against Nick Kyrgios.
And if he cannot make Friday's showdown, that would see the Australian given a walkover into Sunday's final.
The Spaniard blatantly ignored pleas from his family to quit this four-hour 21-minute epic with American Taylor Fritz as he battled courageously through the pain barrier.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion may have won 3-6 7-5 3-6 7-5 7-6 on Centre Court but he refused to retire despite a troublesome abdominal injury.
However, the Australian and French Open champ accepts he faces a race against time to be fit to play foe Kyrgios as he chases the first Calendar Slam in men’s tennis for 53 years.
Asked if it was possible to recover in time for the semis, Nadal replied: “I don’t know. I’m going to have some more tests.
“It is difficult to know. I am used to have things and I am used to having pain and playing with problems.
“Let’s see. It’s obvious that this is nothing new. I had these feelings for a couple of days.
“Without a doubt, this was the worst day. There has been an important increase of pain and limitation.
“I can’t give you a clear answer because if I gave you a clear answer and then another thing happens, I will be a liar”
Another dramatic day from SW19
Oh wow.
We thought yesterday was dramatic (trust me, it was) but then stepped forward Rafael Nadal.
The 22-time Grand Slam champ is still on for the Calendar Slam after a heroic comeback from two sets to one down and an abdominal injury to beat Taylor Fritz in five dramatic sets in four hours and 21 minutes.
He is scheduled to face Nick Kyrgios in Friday's semi-final after the Aussie kept his composure to down Cristian Garin in straight sets.
Simona Halep and Elena Rybakina booked their spots in the women's semis - which will take place tomorrow.
And there could be British success on Thursday with Neal Skupski back into the mixed doubles final with Desirae Krawczyk.
Nadal admits he may not play
Major breaking news from Wimbledon - Rafael Nadal confessed he "doesn't know" if he will play Nick Kyrgios in Friday's semi.
That would give the Australian a walkover into the final.
Asked if it was possible to recover his ab injury in time for Friday's semis, Nadal replied: “I don’t know. I’m going to have some more tests.
“It is difficult to know. I am used to have things and I am used to having pain and playing with problems.
“Let’s see. It’s obvious that this is nothing new. I had these feelings for a couple of days.
“Without a doubt, this was the worst day. There has been an important increase of pain and limitation.
“I can’t give you a clear answer because if I gave you a clear answer and then another thing happens, I will be a liar.”
Friday fun
So we now know the four semi-finalists for this year’s Wimbledon.
On the top half, it is top-seed and four-time defending champion against Britain’s Cameron Norrie - who is in his first Major semi.
And on the bottom we have the blockbuster showdown between Rafael Nadal, eyeing a staggering 23rd Grand Slam, and Nick Kyrgios.
Both of those matches will take place on Centre Court on Friday afternoon.
Wimbledon will announce the order of play tomorrow but it is likely to be Kyrgios vs Nadal at 1:30pm followed by Djokovic vs Norrie to maximise the Friday evening UK BBC audience.
But is he going to be fit?
Nadal continued: “Well, I hope to be ready to play it. That is the first thing.
“Then Nick is a great player in all the surfaces, especially here on grass, he is having a great grass-court season.
“It is going to be a big challenge, I need to be at my 100 per cent to keep having chances. That is what I will try to do.”
Not ab-solutely fine
Nadal added: "Well, the body is generally fine. Of course in the abdominal something is nothing going well being honest.
“I had to find a way to serve a little bit differently.
"For a lot of moments I was thinking maybe I could not be able to finish the match
“The court, the energy, it was something else – so thanks for that."
At least he still enjoyed it
Nadal said: “I honestly enjoy a lot playing these kind of matches. It was obviously that it was a tough afternoon against a great player.
“All the credit to Taylor that he is playing great during the whole season.
“For my personal side, it was not an easy match at all. I am very happy to be in the semi-finals."
'Rafa finds a way'
Laura Robson has had her say on that truly remarkable match.
She told the BBC: "Where do you start? What a win that was. We were so sure he was going to stop but as Rafa does he finds a way through.
"It is hard to imagine the match against Kyrgios being any more dramatic than this one.
"I feel for Taylor Fritz, he looks absolutely devastated. He will learn so much from this loss."
Up next? Only Nick Kyrgios
Rafa's reward for that epic win is...
A semi-final against long-term rival Nick Kyrgios.
These two have history - especially here at Wimbledon!

CBD companies wrestle with advertising without FDA approval
It’s a $12.8 billion industry, but without clinical studies or FDA backing, there’s still questions about the efficacy of cannabidiol.
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - It can help anxiety, aid sleep or even clear up acne. That’s what some CBD advertisements claim.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical found in marijuana and hemp plants. It doesn’t give you a high, but users and advertisers claim it can help a host of health issues.
One expert told us there’s no scientific proof it works.
Theodore Caputi is a public health researcher. He conducted a study on how some medical marijuana companies market CBD. He found they often rely on their users’ reviews and academic partnerships in advertising: not clinical research.
“People have been led to believe all sorts of health, the health effects that CBD might have but that aren’t founded in scientific evidence,” Caputi said.
Caputi suggested that more companies should seek approval for use from the Food and Drug Administration: a process that requires scientific research to back up health claims.
The FDA has not approved CBD or investigated it, but it lists potential risks like liver damage and male fertility issues on its website. The Washington News Bureau reached out to the FDA to see if it’s reviewing CBD. They did not grant us an interview.
While CBD is legal, the research process involves working with cannabis, which the Drug Enforcement Administration labels a drug with no medical use.
Getting approval to work with the drug is a “burdensome” process, said Johns Hopkins’ School of Medicine professor, Tory Spindle.
“We’re trying to play catch up and do all the studies now to support or refute all the things that people are using the cannabis products for already,” Spindle said.
CTPharma is the first medical marijuana company to get FDA approval for a clinical study on how its products impact stress levels.
Right now, the team at the licensed dispensary relies on third party lab data to prove safety to consumers.
“Everything has been tested. You know, you can follow up on every little product,” said Steve Cancel from CTPharma. “And on our website, we do have all that information on there as well.”
The team at CTPharma hopes the research will open doors to the future of FDA approval for the CBD industry.
The experts we spoke to recommend for those interested in trying CBD to purchase it from licensed dispensaries or retail pharmacies to guarantee it meets consumer protection standards.
