Brittney Griner's guilty plea Thursday has not lessened the support the Olympic gold medalist continues to receive from her WNBA peers.
The Phoenix Mercury All-Star pleaded guilty to drug possession charges on the second day of her trial in a Russian court in a case that could see her sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. The chance of Griner being convicted were considered extremely high before her plea.
"The WNBPA stands with Brittney Griner. With a 99% conviction rate, Russia's process is its own. You can't navigate it or even understand it like our own legal system," WNBAPA Executive Director Terri Jackson said in a statement. "What we do know is that the U.S. State Department determined that Brittney Griner was wrongfully detained for a reason and we'll leave it at that."
Speaking through an interpreter, Griner told the court that she had no intention of committing a crime and had acted unintentionally because she had packed for Moscow in a hurry. The trial was then adjourned until July 14.
Griner emphasized "that she had committed this act through negligence, unintentionally," her lawyer, Maria Blagovolina, told reporters outside the court near Moscow following the guilty plea,
Griner, 31, was detained at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport while returning to play basketball in Russia, and police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage.
The plea came a day after President Joe Biden had a phone conversation with Griner's wife Cherelle during which he told her that he is working to free the two-time Olympic gold medalists as soon as possible.
It also came after Griner's WNBA team held a public rally in support of the 6-foot-9 center with several hundred fans in attendance. The rally at the Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Mercury and Suns, was part celebration of Griner's accomplishments on and off the court with a call to action.
"One hundred thirty-nine days have passed since my wife has been able to speak to me, to our family and our friends," Cherelle Griner said during the rally, stopping to compose herself several times. "I'm frustrated my wife is not going to get justice. I know you all are frustrated, too. That's why you're here."

The father of the young man suspected of carrying out the deadly shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois denies knowing about any planning leading up to the attack.
“I had no, not an inkling, warning, that this was going to happen,” Bobby Crimo Jr. told ABC News.
Authorities claim Crimo's son spent weeks planning the mass shooting, which left seven people dead and dozens injured.
Crimo told the New York Post that he is in shock because he spoke with his son the day before the attack.
"Like, did he have a psychiatric break or something," Crimo told the New York Post.
Authorities said Crimo sponsored his son's firearms application. The father defended his actions because he thought his son was going to use the guns at a shooting range.
“He bought everything on his own, and they’re registered to him,” he said.
Crimo added that he's furious over the tragedy and wants his son to serve "a long sentence."
"You know, you have consequences for actions," Crimo said. "He made a choice.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany's parliament on Thursday elected as the government's new anti-discrimination commissioner a journalist whose nomination last month had sparked controversy over her comments on Germans who don't have immigrant roots.
Ferda Ataman, 42, was elected as head of the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency with a tight majority. She was nominated by the government, but members of the Free Democrats, part of the governing coalition, and lawmakers with the opposition conservative Christian Democrats and the far-right Alternative for Germany had sharply criticized the choice.
They questioned Ataman’s suitability for the post, calling her, among other things, a left-wing activist.
Ataman, whose parents immigrated from Turkey, was especially attacked for an op-ed she wrote for Spiegel Online magazine in 2020, in which she defended calling Germans without immigrant roots “potatoes." The term is sometimes used in a derogatory way for ethnic Germans.
Supporters of Ataman — especially members of the governing Green Party and Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ Social Democrats — called the accusations against her slanderous and discriminating, alleging that some of the attacks were racially motivated because she's a second-generation immigrant.
“The wonderful Ferda Ataman should head the anti-discrimination office — which led to a slanderous campaign including threats against her family,” the co-leader of the Social Democrats, Saskia Esken wrote on Twitter.
Green Party deputy leader Agnieszka Brugger wrote that she had experienced Ataman “as smart, very empathetic, friendly, dialogue-oriented, reflective," the German news agency dpa reported.
“What some write about her does not match the person I met at all,” she added.
Ataman, who was watching the vote in parliament from the visitors’ gallery, briefly rose and bowed slightly after the result was read out.
“Those who have not yet been able to place their trust in me, I would like to convince with my work,” she said afterwards, according to dpa.
The Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency advises people who have been discriminated against based on their racial, ethnic, gender or religious background. This includes such cases as discrimination because of a foreign-sounding surname when looking for an apartment or applying for a job.
The agency also commissions studies, produces guidelines and raises awareness of discrimination issues through public relations work. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/New-head-of-anti-discrimination-agency-elected-in-17290375.php | 2022-07-07T19:10:40Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/New-head-of-anti-discrimination-agency-elected-in-17290375.php | true | 13 |
Despite a "new vision", Skull and Bones looks a lot like it did five years ago
Itsa boat time.You probably don't need reminding that Skull and Bones has been a long time coming. Announced in 2017 as a sort of standalone Assassin's Creed Black Flag spin-off, it was to offer a primarily ocean-bound, combat-focused online multiplayer twist on that game's much-loved seafaring, as players battled to become the Golden Age of Piracy's most infamous buccaneer.
Five years and many, many delays later, Skull and Bones is on the cusp of release, with a launch date now set for 8th November on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. So how have things changed in all that time? Well, honestly, after having seen a near-release version in action during a recent press preview, it's hard to say.
Despite Ubisoft at one point insisting development had been rebooted to accommodate a "new vision" as it "dreamt of something bigger" for the project, Skull and Bones 2022 looks an awful lot like Skull and Bones as presented in 2017 - offering, just as originally pitched, a combat-focused, almost exclusively ocean-bound online multiplayer twist on Black Flag's piratical core, albeit now with an seemingly greater emphasis on PvE. Which isn't a bad thing, of course. Black Flag's seafaring was hugely enjoyable, and a more fleshed out version of that - even five years on - has ample appeal, especially if you're a sucker for a spot of swashbuckling like me.
There is, of course, one complication to Skull and Bones' grasp for piratical supremacy in 2022; Sea of Thieves - which, unlike Skull and Bones, actually made its planned 2018 launch - has now had an almost five-year head start delivering a steadily expanding blast of good old-fashioned pirate adventure. So given Rare's sterling work, is there still room for Skull and Bones?
The immediate impression, based on Ubisoft's latest showing, would appear to be a yes, with Skull and Bones seemingly slotting comfortably into its own particular niche. Certainly, Skull and Bones goes against the grain of Rare's all-encompassing piratical sandbox in plenty of ways, including in its "darker, grittier approach" to piracy, its more traditional vertical progression, its opt-in PvP, and its laser focus on sea combat, despite unfolding across an open-sea map pocked with landmasses.
Don't expect to be digging up buried treasure or raiding long-lost tombs in Skull and Bones; instead, land-based excursions are restricted to specific islands, where, functioning as a kind of base of operations and respawn point, you're able to purchase supplies - ship repair kits, ammo, and food to keep crew morale high and stave off mutiny - select missions, and prepare for the next bout of high seas of adventure. Even scavenging for crafting resources - mining ore, felling trees, skinning wildlife - all seemingly happens while you're boat-bound, interacting with resource nodes conveniently dangling off island coastlines.
Skull and Bones promises a journey that'll take players from humble beginnings as a shipwreck survivor washed ashore on some unknown island to the scourge of the seas, commanding an entire fleet upon the waves. And it's a journey that, as presented, appears to follow a fairly straightforward loop: you establish a base, pick a quest (more of these are promised post-launch in classic live-service style), prepare your ship, then head out to sea for a bit of combat, before returning, ideally laden with treasure, to do it all over again and then again some more.
Each successful mission on the seas increases your notoriety (Skull and Bones' measure of progression), which in turn means more challenging jobs from NPCs and access to new crafting blueprints. As the game goes on, you'll unlock the likes of new ship types - from the humble dhow through brigantines and beyond, with specialisations include cargo and navigation vessels - and a steadily expanding arsenal, including cannons, Greek fire, explosive mortars, various armour types, even cargo bags for more loot, all of which can be mixed and matched to better suit the task at hand.
To illustrate Skull and Bones' basic questing loop, Ubisoft demoed a short mission during its preview event, in which players are asked to steal jars of oil from a nearby island. Once preparations are complete - that is, ships and load outs are selected, supplies are onboard, and friends are invited in for co-op play if desired, it's time to head out to sea. At this point, the camera switches from third-person to a perspective - and indeed an overall vibe - that should be instantly recognisable to anyone that's played the ocean-faring portions of Black Flag.
After setting a destination waypoint, you'll find yourself gazing out across a deck of busy crew mates, occasionally switching to the bird's nest for a better view of the horizon. And as you head toward your destination, there's at least the promise of emergent encounters; players can use their spyglass to locate trade routes - perhaps pinpointing laden merchant ships accompanied by a fleet of powerful escorts - or stray into violent storms and monstrous rogue waves. And, of course, they'll run into both other vessels - both passive and hostile - which can either be left alone or engaged in battle to steal their hard-earned spoils. Ubisoft notes, incidentally, that taking on ships much smaller than yourself will earn you only a tiny amount of notoriety if victorious, and cost you dearly if you lose (this, presumably, is also intended to bring a degree of balance between better and lesser equipped crews in PvP).
In this instance, though, the destination is a small port town huddled at the edge of an island. Combat begins almost immediately on arrival, with defense towers on the shoreline showering you with cannon fire, while AI ships move in to flank you from both sides, with additional reinforcements being called in along the way. There's a plunder bar that slowly fills over time as you hold back the onslaught (rewarding better treasure the higher it climbs), with some respite coming in the form of beached shipwrecks that can be quickly looted for emergency food, repair kits, even commodities that can be sold back at the den.
It's all appropriately swashbuckling, of course, with the chaos of battle conveyed with plenty of cinematic bluster, but it's also undoubtedly a more traditional, game-ified form of ship combat compared to the looser, more organic approach taken by Sea of Thieves. In Ubisoft's game, there's UI galore: health bars, directional attack arrows, area of effect markers; enemy weak spots are overlaid in red, while a yellow boundary marker denotes how far you can travel before halting an encounter.
It's not especially elegant, but, all in all, I'd say Skull and Bones looks fine, fun even, and it's encouraging that it's found its own particular piratical niche to occupy. But for a game now arriving five years later than initially planned, it's hard to ignore how limited in scope and ambition it all appears, despite Ubisoft's earlier promises of "something bigger". With such a narrow focus, then, everything's riding on the quality of its combat, and without any hands-on time, it's impossible to say how succesful it'll be. So the question remains, is there enough meat on Skull and Bones to carry it through? We'll finally have an answer this November.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. prosecutors announced charges on Thursday against a government agent and private investigator in a widening probe of an alleged scheme to stalk and harass Chinese dissidents in the United States.
Craig Miller, a 15-year employee of the Department of Homeland Security, and Derrick Taylor, a former DHS worker, were named in an indictment filed in federal court in Brooklyn. Prosecutors allege the pair obstructed justice by plotting to obtain information from a restricted federal law enforcement database.
Miller, 48, of Hastings, Minnesota, and Taylor, 60, of Irvine, California, are among the latest defendants indicted in a wide-ranging probe of what American officials describe as increasingly aggressive efforts by the Chinese government to seek out, silence and threaten pro-democracy activists abroad.
The defendants are to be arraigned at a later date. It was unclear if they had attorneys who could comment on the allegations.
U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement that his office “will always work closely with our law enforcement partners to root out corrupt officials in all levels of government and will prosecute those who act on behalf of a hostile foreign state to target the free speech of U.S. residents on American soil.”
Miller works as deportation officer at a DHS office in Minnesota. A message was left with the agency on Thursday seeking comment.
According to court papers, a Chinese operative hired Taylor to obtain confidential and sensitive personal information about several Chinese dissidents living in the United States. The information included passport photos, flight records and immigration records, the papers say.
Taylor allegedly recruited two DHS agents, including Miller, to provide him the records from the restricted database. When the FBI confronted the two over the breach, they lied to cover it up, court papers say.
Miller also deleted text messages between him and Taylor from his phone while being interviewed by the FBI, while Taylor instructed a co-conspirator to withhold evidence from the government, the papers add. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Federal-agent-charged-in-scheme-to-harass-Chinese-17290578.php | 2022-07-07T19:16:36Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Federal-agent-charged-in-scheme-to-harass-Chinese-17290578.php | false | 13 |
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A jury on Thursday convicted former Theranos executive Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani of collaborating with disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes in a massive fraud involving the blood-testing company that once enthralled Silicon Valley.
The 12 jurors found Balwani guilty on all 12 felony counts of defrauding both Theranos investors and the patients who relied on wildly unreliable blood tests that could have jeopardized their health.
Balwani sat impassively as the verdicts were read, blinking frequently.
The outcome puts Balwani and Holmes in similar situations. Holmes was convicted on four counts of investor fraud and conspiracy earlier this year. During that trial, Holmes tearfully accused Balwani of sexually emotionally abusing her while they were lovers. An attorney for Balwani has vehemently denied those charges.
Both Holmes, 38, and Balwani, 57, face up to 20 years in prison.
Holmes is scheduled to be sentenced in late September. The date of Balwani’s sentencing is expected to be set in the coming days.
The dual convictions representing a resounding victory for federal prosecutors, who seized on the Theranos case as a rare opportunity to hold ambitious entrepreneurs accountable for engaging in technological hyperbole while pursuing fame and fortune. In the process, they hoped to discourage the practice of making bold and unproven promises about still-nascent products -- a startup strategy known as "fake it until you make it.”
After the verdicts were read and the jury was dismissed, Balwani walked over to his two brothers who were sitting behind him for what appeared to be a solemn discussion. The three sat quietly, heads bowed. | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Former-Theranos-exec-Ramesh-Balwani-found-guilty-17290620.php | 2022-07-07T19:16:40Z | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Former-Theranos-exec-Ramesh-Balwani-found-guilty-17290620.php | true | 15 |

A four-day workweek sounds appealing to workers. Possibly alarming to employers. A bill introduced in the California legislature earlier this year proposed a regular pay rate for 32 hours of work per week, with overtime kicking in after that. The measure stalled in committee for a lack of broad support but could resurface in 2023.
Meanwhile, 4-Day Week Global, a nonprofit foundation associated with Oxford University, is piloting a six-month trial of a four-day workweek "with no loss of pay for employees." More than three dozen companies in the US and Canada are participating in the experiment, with a total of 150 organisations and 7,000 employees involved worldwide.
Think you check all the immigration boxes? Find out
Of more than 1,000 US adult employees surveyed by research firm Qualtrics in January, 92% said they would support their employer going to a four-day workweek; 79% of them said it would help mental health, and 82% said it would make them more productive .
Will more employers embrace the change?
The change can be challenging
"I've always been curious about burnout. It truly affects those that should be thriving," says Lisa Belanger, CEO of ConsciousWorks in Canmore, Alberta. She consults with businesses on workplace well-being. In her quest to find "how work is meant to be," she decided to explore a four-day workweek herself.
Results have been mixed, at best, she says.
"I think I've failed so far in my own personal experiment," Belanger says. Business travel plans or other work-related responsibilities often interrupted her Day Five off.
"One of the reasons it's so challenging for me, and most people, to do a four-day workweek is other people are working on that fifth day, so you're getting email and you're getting pulled in," Belanger says.
Altering consumer behavior and expectations
"People are realizing that while this might be an intriguing or interesting idea, there's probably some trade-offs," says Benjamin Granger, head of employee experience advisory services at Qualtrics. He says the company's research indicates concerns regarding customer frustration if staffing changes have an impact on response time.
Widespread adoption would have to reach critical mass, where companies believe they have to adopt a shorter workweek to compete in the workforce, he adds. And consumer behavior and customer expectations and services would need to be reshaped.
"We're not even close to that yet," he says.
If it's not a four-day workweek, there are other levers to pull when it comes to workplace flexibility, Granger says.
Those could include perks that make a job more attractive, like choosing the hours you want to work rather than the usual 9-to-5, or the ability to run errands during the workday.
Few employees would be willing to take a pay cut
Less than 4 in 10 (37%) of the employees surveyed by Qualtrics would be willing to take a 5% or more pay cut for a four-day workweek . But nearly three-quarters (72%) of those surveyed said a four-day workweek would mean they would have to work longer days.
However, 10-hour days often aren't child care friendly. And if a company offers to pay for only four days of eight hours each, it could indicate a shorter workweek might be the result of a company trying to reduce expenses.
Considering the trade-offs
"I think there is a lot of work and research that an organization has to do before it pulls the trigger on this," Granger says.
A four-day workweek - or other workplace flexibility - might begin with a series of discussions. If there is interest on both sides of the payroll, Granger suggests a trade-off analysis: "Look statistically at the factors that people would be willing to trade off, and would it be worth it to them?" If interest remains strong, the organization could run a pilot program with a small group of employees before a wider rollout.
If a four-day workweek isn't in your near future, Belanger offers these ideas for employees to possibly seek - and employers to consider:
"You need a couple of hours every single day where you're wholly not working - 100% not working," for mental health, she adds.

- A meeting-free Friday or a reduction in the number of meetings overall.
- Email, instant messaging or texting hiatuses. "Telepressure" - the compulsion to quickly respond to work-related messages of any kind - is a real thing, Belanger says.

Loyalists turn on ex-British soldier Philip McLernon after child porn conviction
This is the paedophile soldier who is now facing fresh death threats and warnings to leave Antrim from the UDA.
Today, the Sunday World can reveal how loyalists have doubled down on their efforts to force disgraced pervert Philip McLernon to go into hiding, with sinister graffiti being sprayed on walls and bridges warning he will be shot and calling him a “paedo”.
It was also sprayed on a sign at the entrance to Antrim GAA’s centre of excellence at Dunsilly, not far from McLernon’s home.
According to sources, McLernon has been abusive to members of the public who have challenged him following his convictions.
McLernon was handed a suspended prison sentence in March for downloading ‘Category A’ videos of kids being sexually abused.
Now loyalists have turned on their former friend and have been waging a campaign to get McLernon out of his hometown — but without any success.
McLernon stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Antrim loyalists during the 2013 Union flag protests.
Last November — before pervert McLernon had even confessed — he was targeted in what was described as “an elaborate hoax bomb” alert.
It was the second security alert in the area and we can reveal both were aimed at intimidating Philip McLernon out of Antrim.
But, so far, he has refused to leave and remained in his home when the Sunday World confronted him about his crimes.
The 53-year-old had been at the forefront of an ex-veterans’ campaign aimed at the government for prosecuting soldiers for alleged crimes during the Troubles, including murder.
He took part in one event, highlighting how ex-soldiers were living in fear of getting a “knock-on-the-door” from the police and claimed he had been “involved in the intelligence follow-up after the Omagh bomb”.
But ironically it was McLernon who got a knock on the door from the Sunday World just hours after he had pleaded guilty to a string of child ‘porn’ charges six months ago.
A startled McLernon told theSunday World he had nothing to say about his shameful convictions.
“I’m not going to comment on that,” he said while poking his head out from his front door.
When asked about his work with a number of army veterans’ groups he confirmed he had previously been involved but added: “I’ve nothing to say about it.”
Since then McLernon narrowly escaped going to jail even though the Judge at Antrim Crown Court found his excuse for looking at the images to be implausible.
McLernon told the court a brain injury, which he sustained during an army training exercise in 2001, still impinges on his cognitive functioning and so he can’t remember looking at the images.
But the judge said there was nothing in the medical evidence that would back up his claims.
Her view was that he had tried to “so far as you are able to, to hide behind the acquired brain injury.”
The judge told McLernon: “What you have done is heinous because these images were produced by someone in the course of abusing children and the reason those children are abused is so that people like you can look at them.”
However, he escaped going to prison and was handed a six-month jail sentence, suspended for four years.
The court was told in March how McLernon’s wife had left him after cops searched his home, seized a number of electronic devices and found 13 images and 11 videos, assessed as Category A, which are of a very explicit nature, and a further 22 images at level B.
We understand McLernon is looking to get out of the Meadow Lands area but had been looking at renting a property in the Greystone estate.
Sources say loyalists connected to the UDA have ramped up efforts to get the ex-soldier to sling his hook.

“It seems he’s leaving his home in Meadow Lands for whatever reason but a rumour went round he was looking at a property in the Greystone estate,” said the source.
“The UDA have plastered the town in graffiti making it clear he’s not welcome. They’ve targeted loads of estates including The Steeple and Parkhall.
“Apparently they aren’t buying the brain injury story. It had all gone quiet since the hoax bomb alert but they’ve decided to move on him big time now.”
The Sunday World understands police have visited the convicted sex offender to warn him of the threats and discuss his personal safety.
Last November there was significant disruption caused to residents in the town after a hoax bomb was left near McLernon’s home.
Dozens of residents were forced from their homes for several hours after the second security alert in the area within a couple of weeks.
The bomb squad attended and police said that a suspicious object found in the area was declared an ‘elaborate hoax’.
PSNI Inspector Porter explained at the time: “Just before 8.40am it was reported to police that a suspicious object was located in the area.
“The object, which has been declared as an elaborate hoax, has been taken away for further examination.”
Originally from Bushmills, McLernon served with the Royal Irish and the Royal Engineers and has previously claimed the media have been soft on republicans and believes that justice has been sacrificed by successive governments.
McLernon was among a group of the retired soldiers, police officers and Prison Service personnel who set up Northern Ireland Crown Forces Veterans for Justice (NICFVFJ) five years ago.
The group says hundreds of other ex-soldiers are “dreading the knock on the door” that would tell them they too are under investigation over killings that happened 40-plus years ago.
They held a rallies at Belfast City Hall to protest at how they feel veterans have been treated by the judicial system, in which the organisation says it has little confidence.
But he admitted at another event that if any soldier has broken the law they should “absolutely face the consequences”.
McLernon was also ordered to sign the sex offender’s register for seven years and was also made the subject of a seven-year Sexual Offences Prevention Order.

Alternate Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who announced last week that he is not running in the next elections, is still heavily involved with Yamina’s campaign behind the scenes, Kan News reported on Thursday morning.
According to the report, Ayelet Shaked, who now leads the party, consults with Bennett on everything related to the management of the campaign as well as the party’s operations.
Bennett was also involved when there was concern that some members of the party would split off and take the party’s funding with them, with Bennett holding talks behind the scenes on the matter.
Yamina sources confirmed Bennett’s involvement but a statement from Bennett’s office said: “Bennett decided not to run in the elections and he does not intend to take part in any campaign.”
Meanwhile, Shaked on Wednesday made her first public statement on the upcoming election, calling for cooperation and unity between rival political parties. “I believe that together we can establish a broad national government,’ she said. “Political rivals are not enemies.”

Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty has been sentenced to three years of probation and one year of home detention after failing to register as a sex offender in California, per CBS Los Angeles. In addition to the two charges, Petty will also be required to pay a $55,000 fine, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
According to the original federal indictment, Petty first moved from the East Coast to California in July 2019, shortly after he and Minaj tied the knot. Petty was required to enter his name on the sex offender registry within five working days of his move to the state, and the indictment alleges Petty did not do so.
Petty initially pled guilty to the charge of failing to register as a sex offender last year. He was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in 1995, when he was 16 years old. He was also charged with one count each of assault in the second degree, unlawful imprisonment in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon for the same incident. At the time, he served roughly four and a half years in prison, and is now required to register as a sex offender anywhere he goes as part of his plea agreement.
In addition to his attempted rape charge, Petty was also convicted of manslaughter as part of an unrelated case in 2006. For that charge, Petty served seven years of a ten year sentence before being granted probationary release in 2013.
In 2019, the woman who Petty assaulted in the ‘90s sued both Petty and Minaj, claiming the couple harassed and intimidated her, causing emotional distress. Minaj was eventually dropped from the lawsuit. Petty and Minaj currently live together in Calabasas, California with their two-year-old son.
Minaj and Petty have yet to make any statement(s) on his sentence. | https://www.avclub.com/nicki-minajs-husband-sentenced-to-house-arrest-1849153274 | 2022-07-07T19:27:30Z | https://www.avclub.com/nicki-minajs-husband-sentenced-to-house-arrest-1849153274 | true | 1 |
People have been asking if Justin Jefferson is going to be the next Cooper Kupp ever since it was announced that Kevin O’Connell would be taking over as head coach for the Minnesota Vikings.
But honestly—and this is no slight intended for Kupp—that question is a bit disingenuous because there’s only one Justin Jefferson.
When appearing on The Ringer NFL Show, the two-time All-Pro receiver talked about the different challenge he poses for opposing defenses within O’Connell’s pass-heavy offense.
“Pretty much where Cooper Kupp was at that’s pretty much where I’m at. But my ability to move in different positions is gonna be more,” said Jefferson. “I’m able to go in outside. You don’t really see Cooper Kupp lining outside as many times as I would. Or me lining in the backfield, or me just lining up in different positions to get the ball.”
Brett Kollmann of “The Film Room” does an incredible job of breaking down the actual film of how Jefferson’s usage within O’Connell’s offense will compare to Kupp’s.
But there’s no question that Jefferson is the more versatile receiver with the greater physical gifts, which makes his pairing with O’Connell that much more interesting.
Does that mean he’s going to have 2,000-plus yards receiving this season or even outdo Kupp’s ridiculous 1,947-yard season? Not at all.
But it also isn’t out of the realm of possibility, either.
Jefferson hauled in 108 receptions for 1,616 yards and 10 touchdowns with Mike Zimmer as his head coach last season. If that’s any indication of what the future will look like, then it’s going to be a long year for opposing defenses lining up against this Vikings offense. | https://vikingswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/07/justin-jefferson-believes-he-can-do-more-than-cooper-kupp/ | 2022-07-07T19:28:21Z | https://vikingswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/07/justin-jefferson-believes-he-can-do-more-than-cooper-kupp/ | true | 1 |

The Style Score Value grade factors in a variety of key fundamental metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a number of other key stats that are commonly used by value investors.
SYF currently has a forward P/E ratio of 4.94, while GBOOY has a forward P/E of 7.76. We also note that SYF has a PEG ratio of 0.21. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. GBOOY currently has a PEG ratio of 0.54.
Another notable valuation metric for SYF is its P/B ratio of 1.13. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, GBOOY has a P/B of 1.33.
Based on these metrics and many more, SYF holds a Value grade of A, while GBOOY has a Value grade of C.
SYF stands above GBOOY thanks to its solid earnings outlook, and based on these valuation figures, we also feel that SYF is the superior value option right now.

Iowa WBB Commit and Family Injured After Being Struck By Car
Ava Jones, a rising high school senior from Kansas who verbally committed to Iowa's women's basketball team Sunday, was seriously injured along with her parents when they were struck by a car in Louisville on Tuesday night.
The family was there for the Run 4 the Roses girls' basketball tournament, in which Jones was playing with her club team. They were hit when the vehicle drove onto a sidewalk. The driver who struck them, Michael Hurley, was charged with four counts of first-degree assault and driving under the influence. He told police he had recently taken the drug hydrocodone.
Jones was reported to be in serious condition, and her parents, Amy and Trey Jones, in critical condition. A child reported to be Jones' younger brother was treated for minor injuries. According to Billy Watson of the Hutchinson News in Kansas, Jones' grandmother said Jones was expected to recover, although her injuries have not been made public.
"Right now, all we can do is say the family needs prayers," Austin Johnson, Jones' AAU coach, told ESPN via text message Wednesday.
Jones, a 6-foot-2 wing player, is No. 83 on the ESPN HoopGurlz top 100 prospects for the class of 2023. She averaged 20.8 points, 15.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists last season for Nickerson High School in Kansas.
Jones initially committed to Arizona State but reopened her recruiting after longtime Sun Devils coach Charli Turner Thorne retired in March. Jones announced her commitment to Iowa on social media Sunday. Because she has not signed with the Hawkeyes, the school could not comment on Jones' condition, an Iowa spokesman told ESPN. | https://espnsiouxfalls.com/iowa-wbb-commit-and-family-injured-after-being-struck-by-car/ | 2022-07-07T19:29:38Z | https://espnsiouxfalls.com/iowa-wbb-commit-and-family-injured-after-being-struck-by-car/ | false | 1 |

In total, six of the legendary drivers connected to the exhibit’s cars were inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

BERLIN (AP) — German lawmakers on Thursday approved a major package of reforms aimed at boosting the production of renewable power, as Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned that the country has for too long relied on energy supplies from Russia.
The government unveiled its 600-page “Easter package” in April, less than two months after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine escalated the simmering energy crisis between Moscow and western European neighbors, many of which were buyers of Russian fossil fuels.
Germany has sharply reduced its energy imports from Russia in recent months. The government aims to end the purchase of Russian coal and oil this year, and of natural gas by 2024.
Scholz said late Wednesday that the war was another reason for Europe’s biggest economy to double down on its efforts to expand the use of renewable energy.
“Germany has relied for too long and too unilaterally on energy supplies from Russia,” he said at a renewable energy industry event in Berlin.
Referring to Moscow’s recent moves to reduce the flow of natural gas to Europe, Scholz that that “we have to realize that Russia is using energy as a weapon.”
“After all, no one believes that Russia is reducing its gas supplies for technical reasons alone,” he added.
Energy Minister Robert Habeck told lawmakers that the “sheer number and extent of laws” now being hurried through the Bundestag reflected both the scale of the challenge and the government’s ambition.
It recently pledged to rapidly accelerate the installation of sun and wind power facilities, setting a target of generating 80% of Germany’s gross electricity use from renewable energy by 2030 — almost double the share it had last year — and cutting greenhouse gas emissions from all sources to “net zero” by 2045.
To achieve this, the government proposed setting aside more land for onshore wind park s and lowering bureaucratic hurdles that have slowed construction in recent years.
Still, economists questioned this week whether the government’s ambitious goals were achievable even with the new measures.
Opposition lawmaker Andreas Jung of the Christian Democrats criticized the government for keeping heavily polluting coal-fired power plants on stand-by to replace gas-fired facilities that have to shut down due to lack of supply. Instead, he suggested, Germany could expand the use of domestic biogas from agricultural waste.
Consumers in Germany, like elsewhere in Europe, have been warned to expect significantly higher energy bills this year mainly due to the surge in prices of fossil fuels.
“If we want to keep energy affordable in the long term, if we want to reconcile supply security and climate protection, then this is only possible with renewable energies,” said Scholz. “That’s why we need to kick the expansion of renewables into high gear now.”
While independence from Russian energy is one of the government’s stated goals, a new report Thursday by the International Energy Agency warned that the supply of solar panels — key to Germany’s green energy transition — is increasingly concentrated in China.
The Paris-based agency said China currently has a share of more than 80% in all the key manufacturing stages of solar panels. For some photovoltaic components the share coming from China is set to rise to 95% in the coming years, it said.
“China has been instrumental in bringing down costs worldwide for solar PV, with multiple benefits for clean energy transitions,” the IEA’s executive director, Fatih Birol, said. “At the same time, the level of geographical concentration in global supply chains also poses potential challenges that governments need to address.

Life as a professional boxer meant plenty of time in Las Vegas for British heavyweight Audley Harrison. In 2006, the pugilist was training in Sin City but had no interest in hitting the slots or jumping in on the craps action. Something a bit more competitive held his interest.
“What’s that room in the back?” Harrison remembers asking.
When someone told him it was a poker room, the Olympic gold medalist became intrigued. He signed up for a poker boot camp and then cashed in the second event he played. His thirst for winning in the boxing ring has transformed into a killer instinct at the poker table. Two weeks ago Harrison was among those in the first flight of the $400 Colossus at the World Series of Poker, one of many chasing a bracelet and a big payday.

“Now I'm at a level where I sit down to win,” he says. “Before I was just trying to cash, but now I've taken the time to study and learn the game.”
Boxer to Businessman
Dealing with adversity has been a way of life for Harrison, both in the ring and at the poker table. He grew up playing multiple sports including rugby and soccer, but fell in love with the sweet science. In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, he became the first British boxer to win a gold medal in the super-heavyweight division after also scoring a gold in the 1998 Commonwealth Games.
“When I was 9, I had an epiphany that I was going to be a famous sportsman,” he says. “So I think I was chasing this epiphany subconsciously. In the other sports I was okay, but wasn't great. I found boxing at 19, which is very late. But the first time I walked into a gym, I knew this was the one.”
At 6 feet, 5 inches, Harrison was an imposing presence in the ring. A pro career followed life as an amateur and Harrison became heavily involved with all business aspects of his career, working as his own promoter and manager. He signed a £1 million deal with the BBC to broadcast his first 10 professional fights.
Harrison officially retired from the ring in 2014 with a 31-7 record including 23 of those wins coming by knockout. Even from those early days in the ring, Harrison always had an eye for business and that continued in retirement via a chance meeting with the woman who’d become his wife.
The two happened to meet while Harrison was in Las Vegas courtesy of a trip from his mentor, former heavyweight champion and fellow British boxer Lennox Lewis. The “Pugilist Specialist” flew Harrison to Vegas as a reward for winning a gold medal. He signed with an American trainer and the string of events eventually led to wedding bells.
His wife was a celebrity hairstylist and just happened to work on the Olympic champion’s hair. They fell in love and were soon married. The Harrisons now live in Calabasas, California, where the boxer entered an unlikely business – a hair salon. Business has been good and the shop just celebrated 10 years with his wife running the day-to-day operations. The Harrisons even recently expanded with a haircare line of shampoos and conditioners.
“I've kind of taken over that,” he says. “I'm scaling it now with my business acumen.”
Looking back, that trip to Las Vegas may have set a course in motion to save his life, Harrison says, and helped him get away from some negative influences. Life as a happily-married family man with a successful business and a love of poker might not have ever been in the cards.
“I would have been back in England, single, probably girls everywhere, horrible,” he says. “I don’t even want to think about it. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I’m really happy – to have come from where I came from and get my life back on track.”
Pugilist to Poker Player
Three-bets and all-in shoves have now replaced the days of uppercuts and jabs. Harrison loves the game and has a goal of winning a WSOP bracelet. With a big score on the line in the Colossus, he hoped to keep his nice run of cards going. His biggest cash came in 2010 in a $2,000 event at the Venetian. A third-place finish for $ 90,298 included one interesting elimination.
“I knocked out Phil Hellmuth,” he says. ”He kept on bloody raising me every time and I had to keep him honest a couple of times and was able to take him down.”
Harrison now has $283,288 in live tournament winnings and is just one of the latest athletes to jump in poker after retirement. He jumped right into the Colossus after a cash in the seniors event. As a father, husband, and businessman, Harrison can't get away to Vegas all summer but plans to pop in for a few events here and there. In June, he was pleased to see some of his poker studies put to good use at the WSOP.
“I’ve learned so many different techniques that I didn’t know before,” he says. “And I put it all to good use and it held up and was working.”
As a regular on the poker scene back in California, Harrison has a group of poker pros he bounces ideas and strategies off. He’s a regular at the Commerce and Bike, but life as a father with two children heavily involved in sports doesn’t leave the 50-year-old as much time for playing cards as he’d like. His son also is involved in jiu-jitsu, but Harrison mixes in a little boxing training with him as well.
In 2019, Harrison’s two competitive passions merged as he trained Antonio Esfandiari for his boxing match against actor and comedian Kevin Hart. Esfandiari came out on top and Harrison is now an undefeated 1-0 as a trainer. He’s hoping that success carries over to the poker table now.
“I want a WSOP bracelet and I think I’m good enough to get it,” he says. “That’s what I’m focused on this year. I definitely have it in me. And then I’ll feel satisfied with my poker journey.”

(Editor's Note: Over the next month, the staff of DallasCowboys.com is looking to answer the 20 biggest questions facing the team heading into the 2022 season. Today, the staff writers discuss the current state of the roster before training camp.)
13) Which Position Still Needs To Be Addressed?
Nick Eatman: This one seems like it's a given, but I'll take it anyway. But there's no way this offensive line is set, right? I can't really put my finger on exactly what's going to happen. But the backup tackles don't seem ready right now. There are concerns up and down the line with everyone other than Zack Martin. It just seems like another veteran, even a backup with starting history somewhere else, would make sense for this unit. There are just too many question marks, starting with Tyron's health, to the development of both Tyler Smith and Tyler Biadasz and if Terence Steele is truly ready to take over at right tackle. I can't imagine nothing happens here at the offensive line before now and the start of the season.
Kyle Youmans: There's a severe lack of depth at the linebacker spot. With the injury history surrounding the position, I'm a bit surprised they haven't already added to the depth chart. Especially when some of the current contributors like Leighton Vander Esch and Jabril Cox have had injury trouble in the past. I still have that expectation that they'll add a veteran to the group, but who knows when that would happen.
Rob Phillips: This time last year, linebacker was arguably the team's deepest position. (Think about it: Jaylon Smith, a previous five-year starter, got released by October because he didn't find enough snaps in the rotation.) This year they're not as deep, even if you count Jayron Kearse as a safety/linebacker in the "big nickel" package they used quite a bit last season. Leighton Vander Esch's return on a one-year deal is big. Jabril Cox has a real chance to earn extensive playing time in his return from ACL surgery. But there's this to consider: The linebacker room would get even thinner if Micah Parsons moved to more of a full-time edge rusher role out of necessity, as he did last year at times while DeMarcus Lawrence was injured. Maybe Luke Gifford can step into a larger role if needed, and maybe rookie Markquese Bell can earn a spot in a role like Kearse's, giving Dan Quinn even more flexibility as another versatile safety who can cover and play in the box. But it also wouldn't surprise me if the Cowboys signed a veteran for depth at some point. | https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/13-which-position-still-needs-to-be-addressed | 2022-07-07T19:40:30Z | https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/13-which-position-still-needs-to-be-addressed | true | 1 |

After a tumultuous tenure as head of Time’s Up, Tina Tchen has reunited with the Obamas.
The former Obama administration staffer has joined the Obama Foundation as executive vice president as well as chief strategy and impact officer. Her work will include overseeing the grassroots educational Girls Opportunity Alliance program, for which she has been serving as a senior advisor over the past year.
Tchen, a former partner in Skadden Arps’ Chicago office and an active member of multiple boards in the city, served in the Obama White House for all eight years, starting as the first director of the White House Office of Public Engagement before becoming the first lady’s chief of staff. She also led the White House Council on Women and Girls as executive director throughout the president’s two terms.

In January 2018, in the wake of the burgeoning #MeToo movement that was galvanized by the revelation of rampant sexual harassment and assault allegations by Harvey Weinstein and other Hollywood power players, female entertainment industry leaders formed Time’s Up to fight gender-based inequity and misconduct in the workplace. The nonprofit’s first president and CEO, Lisa Borders, resigned in February 2019 after her son was accused of sexual misconduct, and in October of that year Tchen, who had co-founded its adjacent Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, was tapped as the new head of the organization.
But last August, after The Washington Post revealed details of Tchen and other Time’s Up leadership’s communications with Andrew Cuomo and his staff advising the then-New York governor on his response to sexual harassment allegations against him, Tchen resigned as well.
In response to a request for a direct comment regarding Tchen’s history at Time’s Up, an Obama Foundation spokesperson issued the following statement: “Tina has spent a career fighting for positive change for women. Her life’s work has been geared toward making workplaces fair and equitable and safer for women. She believes her work on behalf of women is not done and she has a lot more to offer.

Three Wimbledon security guards arrested for alleged fight amongst each other
Three security guards at Wimbledon have been arrested after an alleged fight broke out among the group.
Related video above: Highlights from day 10 at Wimbledon
The altercation, which happened on the grounds of the grand slam on Friday, was broken up by London Metropolitan police officers.
According to the Guardian, the alleged fight broke out in front of fans and began because one worker accused his colleague of taking a three-hour-long break.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan police told CNN: "At 14:00 on Friday, 1 July officers on duty at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships were alerted to an altercation within the grounds.
"Officers attended. Three men working at the event were arrested on suspicion of affray. There were no reports of any injuries."
"They were taken into custody and were later bailed until a date in late July."
CNN has reached out to Knights Group Security, who supplies the security guards, and Wimbledon for comment.
A Knights Group Security company insider told the Guardian the altercation was "embarrassing," adding: "To have a fight in front of fans is not a good look. It has damaged the company's reputation. I can't believe they did that." | https://www.wjcl.com/article/three-wimbledon-security-guards-arrested-for-alleged-fight/40546974 | 2022-07-07T19:52:19Z | https://www.wjcl.com/article/three-wimbledon-security-guards-arrested-for-alleged-fight/40546974 | false | 13 |

BIG RAPIDS — The Big Rapids city commission approved a resolution for the appointment of Carla Staffen to the position of city treasurer at an annual salary of $84,037 during its meeting this week.
City manager Mark Gifford told the city commission that the hiring committee was pleased to find out Staffen was interested in the position and highly recommended the appointment.
“Carla Staffen has been our assistant city treasurer and has worked with the city for 36 years,” Gifford said. “She applied and we interviewed her, and she did a wonderful job. She is extremely capable and the committee recommends hiring her as the new treasurer.”
Staffen was the assistant city treasurer from 2018 to present, working alongside former city treasurer Aaron Kuhn, who resigned in May to pursue other opportunities.
She began working for the city in 1986 as an account clerk and has held several positions since that time, including accounting clerk, administrative assistant, accountant and assistant city treasurer.
Following passing of the resolution, Staffen was sworn in by city clerk Tamyra Gillis. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Staffen-sworn-in-as-new-city-treasurer-in-Big-17288299.php | 2022-07-07T20:03:25Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Staffen-sworn-in-as-new-city-treasurer-in-Big-17288299.php | false | 1 |

Rodrigo Santoro talks about the challenge of being a great navigator
07/07/22 at 08:05
Updated at 08:22
Luiz Carlos Merten, special for Estadão – Estadão Content
At 47 years old – which he will complete in August – Rodrigo Santoro displays enviable physical shape. He has no secret: “I play a lot of sport, I’m always surfing and I don’t need my yoga mat, which I carry around.” The physical form helps in the actor’s work. Right now, this Friday, the 8th, the Prime Video series that Rodrigo made in Spain debuts. Sem Limites, directed by Simon West, is based on the first circumnavigation voyage of the globe, which, by the way, completes 500 years in 2022. The author of the feat was a Portuguese navigator, Fernão de Magalhães, who got support at the Court Spanish to make the trip. Who was this man?
“I knew the basics about him, that he believed that it would be possible to reach the East always traveling from West to East. From the East, spices came, and Fernão not only managed to reach the so-called island of spices, which was not an island, but also his return to the globe proved that the Earth was round. He was already ahead in the 16th century!” But it wasn’t easy. His epic was marked by difficulty. On August 10, 1519, five ships with 250 sailors, captained by him, departed from southern Spain. Three years later, only 18 of them returned, in precarious conditions, on the only ship that survived the crossing, led by a Spanish sailor, Juan Sebastián Elcano.
PRONUNCIATION
Rodrigo believes in preparation. In the case of Fernão de Magalhães, there was a Portuguese and Spanish accent. “The Castilian spoken in Spain is different from Latin American and from what is spoken in the US. The “Ss” have something similar to the North American th. So, I prepared myself to handle the dialogues, but also there was the essential question. Who was Fernão? Searching on the internet and in books, I came to a historian who opened doors for me. Through her, I even discovered the travel diary of the Italian who documented the journey. But there was still the essential, the man . Fernão was an orphan, he was not part of the high spheres of the Portuguese court. He believed in the mission, and that there was a strait to reach the other side of the world. I started to build it in my head.”
‘What matters are the characters and the story being told’
Rodrigo Santoro doesn’t see much difference between movies and series. “It’s works, what matters are the characters and the story being told. The difference is that, in the series, we have more time to develop what in the movies, in two hours, can be shorter and more direct.” He says that the biggest difficulty, during the pandemic, was filming Without Limits with all security protocols. I already knew the actor Álvaro Morte, who plays Juan Sebastián Elcano, the second most important character in the plot – the navigator who takes the few sailors left over from the expedition back to Europe. “The plot is very much based on our relationship and I had already seen him in the Spanish series La Casa de Papel, which is very good.”
Death is a strong theme in No Limits. “I got emotional in decisive scenes of the characters’ relationship.” About speaking Portuguese on stage, he says: “It was all in Spanish, but I managed to get Fernão to speak Portuguese with Duarte Barbosa, which is played by a great actor from Portugal, Gonçalo Diniz.” Rodrigo has experience acquired in the North American series, Lost and Westworld. “In terms of size and features, Unlimited is on par. It was a big job, involving a lot of people.” Director Simon West has made films like The General’s Daughter and the first Tomb Raider, with Angelina Jolie. “Along with competence, I think everyone’s main concern was safety. Because of the covid, we were all worried, attentive. So it wasn’t just the story, nor the character. It was the surroundings, which required redoubled attention. “
Surfing, which Rodrigo loves – and practices – is more than a sport. “From the outside, people think it’s just a matter of balancing on the board, but it’s actually much more. This wave, the next, the wind. It’s another kind of physical balance, not being on the board. . Surfing gives a kind of alertness, control of the physique. And yoga, of the mind.”
As an actor, Rodrigo takes roles very seriously. But there is another one that he says demands much more. “As Mel’s father, I don’t have a script to guide me on what to do or say. Being a father is a constant discovery, and I’m very close to my daughter. I already talk to her about issues such as machismo, the role of women in world. And I’m not talking about a superior position. I like to look Mel straight in the eye.”
As terrible as it was, and still is, the pandemic somehow helped. “When there was the first confinement, I spent nine months at home, documenting and preparing.” In Madrid, even before filming, another stage began. “I had to learn fight choreography and how to interact with stuntmen. I like to do my scenes, even the dangerous ones, but there are things that insurance companies don’t allow.” The production was shot in different parts of Spain – Basque Country, Navarra, Seville, in addition to the studio in Madrid. And two weeks in the Dominican Republic. Most of the six chapters that make up the series are set on the high seas. Actors and technicians often complain about these scenes.
“We went around the world many times without leaving the place. Almost all the high seas were done in a hangar, in the reproduction of the boat against a blue background”, he says. Did being a surfer help Rodrigo? “West is a seasoned action director. Most of the time it was the camera that moved around us to simulate the instability of the vessel and the movement of the waves.”

House Republicans are contemplating what kind of national abortion ban legislation to pursue if they win control of the chamber in the November midterms.
A 15-week or longer ban is among the options, The Hill reported.
In 2015 and 2017, House GOP members passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortion after 20 weeks gestation.
Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., who's sponsoring a current bill, told CNN that he was considering changing the limit to a 15-week ban.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told CNN that he would support a 15-week abortion ban.
The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling on June 24, upheld a Republican-backed Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks. The justices held that the Roe v. Wade decision that allowed abortions performed before a fetus would be viable outside the womb — between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy — was wrongly decided because the U.S. Constitution makes no specific mention of abortion rights.
On the day the high court announced its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, McCarthy did not mention any specific restrictions that would be pursued if Republicans reclaim the majority.
"We will continue to look wherever we can go to save as many lives as possible,” McCarthy said during a news conference.
Any abortion ban passed in a GOP-controlled House in the next Congress likely would not become law, election analysts say, because it's unlikely that Senate Republicans would win a filibuster-proof majority.
Even if Senate Republicans can pass a bill, President Joe Biden likely would veto it.
Passing an abortion ban in the House, though, would send a message about where Republicans stand on abortion restrictions.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., in May said that his conference would take up the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act on "day one" in a GOP majority, The Hill said.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., would require care to be given to an infant that survives an abortion procedure.
Democrats insist a 2002 law already guarantees infants’ legal rights.
Some House Republicans are advocating for a total or near-total abortion ban beyond the 20- or 15-week proposals.
The Life at Conception Act, led by Rep. Alex Mooney , R-W.Va., would recognize rights from the "moment of fertilization."
The Heartbeat Protection Act, from Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., would ban abortion after cardiac activity can be detected in a fetus, usually around six weeks' gestation.
Some Republicans, though, are leery of rushing toward a federal-restriction law.
"We've tipped the power of the last few years too much to Washington, D.C., which our founders warned us about that," Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., said, The Hill reported.
"And the real engagement should be at the state level, where citizens can take a day off from work and go petition — truly exercise their First Amendment rights to go petition their government at their state capitals and their legislators that live in their hometown."

2024 rumblings loom over 2022, including a possible rematch and Newsom v. DeSantis
The TAKE with Rick Klein
On a holiday weekend punctured by yet another numbing tragedy , midway through a year that carries enormous political implications, 2024 was everywhere.
Just in the last few days, Vice President Kamala Harris seemed to take President Joe Biden back a step on how quickly they'll declare their plans for a second campaign (though the White House has long reiterated that Biden plans to seek a second term). And former President Donald Trump's aides and associates took him a step closer to another run -- teasing an announcement that could come sooner rather than later.
The Democratic governor of California, Gavin Newsom, took a pricy political shot at the Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis. That was based on the assumption that the latter is basically already running for president -- though it also fuels speculation that the former is interested in the job as well.
The most recent GOP nominee before Trump, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, wrote an essay for The Atlantic faulting Biden for not breaking through a "national malady of denial, deceit, and distrust" -- and also warning that a Trump return to office "would feed the sickness, probably rendering it incurable."
That came just after another leading Republican Trump critic -- who, like Romney, carries a name familiar to national tickets -- said in an interview that she will "make a decision about '24 down the road," with a new perspective on the challenges of the present.
"I think about it less in terms of a decision about running for office," Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., told ABC News' Jonathan Karl , "and more in terms of, as an American and as somebody who's in a position of public trust now, how do I make sure that I'm doing everything I can to do the right thing? To do what I know is right for the country and to protect our Constitution?"
Cheney first faces primary voters next month back in Wyoming, to try to keep her House seat against a Trump-backed challenger.
That's a big race that carries a small reminder: No matter how much midterm races rise and fall on their own dynamics, the next presidential campaign looms large over all of it. And while 2024 is a ways off, it's already begun -- carrying more question marks than perhaps any presidential race in modern times.
The RUNDOWN with Brittany Shepherd
Monday's parade mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, comes only days after a bipartisan anti-gun violence deal was negotiated through a divided Congress and signed into law by Biden at the end of June, in the first major federal effort on the issue in decades .
At least six people were killed and dozens more injured in the shooting at an Independence Day parade in the Chicago suburb, according to law enforcement. Authorities recovered a rifle and went on to launch a hunt for the suspected gunman.
The parade killings follow numerous other mass shootings in the U.S. this year, including the high-profile massacre of children at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas , and the shooting of Black patrons and employees at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store by a suspected white supremacist.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat who won his party's primary last week, said in a statement on Monday that "grief will not bring the victims back, and prayers alone will not put a stop to the terror of rampant gun violence in our country."
His Republican challenger, Trump-endorsed state Sen. Darren Bailey, called for the state legislature to convene in a special session. Bailey once supported a now-failed fringe resolution that would have separated Chicago from the rest of Illinois.
"We need to demand law and order and prosecute criminals," he said. "We need more police on our streets to keep our families safe. Public safety must be a top priority."
The White House and Congress last month broke some three decades of stalled negotiations on gun safety with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which paired funding for social services and school security with modest firearm reforms -- including supporting more "red flag" laws, bolstering the federal background check system and restricting more domestic abusers from having weapons.
President Biden said in a statement on Monday after the parade shooting that the new law was valuable but that there is "much more work to do, and I'm not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence."
But the prospect is dim of the more sweeping changes Democrats seek, such as reinstating a ban on assault-style weapons.
Additional restrictions and regulations will be nearly impossible to implement without either a larger Democratic majority in Congress after the midterms -- in a year where Biden's approval has crumbled -- or the support of at least a handful of Republican lawmakers, who are unlikely to bend on such a sensitive issue so close to election primaries and after long arguing such laws violate the Second Amendment.
Later Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris is set to travel to Chicago to give remarks at the National Education Association's annual meeting, where she's very likely to address the tragedy directly.
During a surprise visit on Monday to a Santa Monica, California, fire station, Harris told reporters that gun violence in the classroom had already been on her mind.
"I was just sharing with some of our heroes, our local firefighters, that part of what I'm preparing -- sadly I was preparing it before, it's resonant every day -- is a whole section on what our teachers go through. They go to school to learn how to teach our children, to inspire their ambition, to create the future generations of leaders, and our teachers are also in training to deal with an active shooter," Harris said. "Our teachers are having to learn how to put a tourniquet on a kid if they have been shot."
The TIP with Hannah Demissie
In the first significant example this election cycle of a Republican candidate using election fraud claims in a primary, county officials in Nevada on Friday finished a statewide recount in the nominating contest for governor, reaffirming that GOP candidate Joey Gilbert lost to Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo.
Gilbert had requested and paid nearly $200,000 for a recount after losing to Lombardo by almost 26,000 votes.
Gilbert pushed false voter fraud claims following his loss to Lombardo in June. Then, on the day of the recount, Gilbert stood outside of the Clark County Election Department and continued to push lies about how ballots were being tabulated.
And while outside experts have warned of the dangers posed to electoral legitimacy of more politicians embracing the "big lie" and attacking the races they lose, it seems that some leaders in the Republican Party are trying to prevent that from happening.
According to the Associated Press , the Nevada GOP chair, Michael McDonald, who rejected the 2020 election results, said it was now time to unite behind Lombardo.
"The election is over. It's been called. Joe Lombardo has won. We need to come together and unite," McDonald said, calling Gilbert's reaction "emotional."

TGH at Home is a program that enables Tampa General to treat lower-acuity patients in the comfort of their own home versus an inpatient setting.
TAMPA, Fla., July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampa General Hospital patients now have a new option for care that combines the expertise of a world-class facility with the comfort of their own home. Tampa General Hospital (TGH)'s Hospital at Home program combines expert care and innovative technology with a focus on the needs of the patient. TGH at Home gives eligible patients an opportunity to stay home, while receiving best-in-class clinical hospital care from health care providers including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and certified nurse assistants. Based on the same standards used inside the hospital, patients receive daily in-home visits from health care providers, virtual visits and around-the-clock remote patient monitoring.
"TGH at Home is a true model of innovation – integrating high-tech applications such as remote patient monitoring and telehealth visits with in-person care by trained health care providers," said John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General. "We can give patients what they really want – world-class care in their own environment. In addition to enhancing the patient experience, Hospital at Home care has been shown to improve quality and service."
To be enrolled in TGH at Home, patients must be seen in the Emergency Department or admitted to the hospital so they can be evaluated and transferred to the TGH at Home program (pending patient consent). Patients must meet certain criteria to be safely cared for at home.
During their in-home care treatment, patients receive at least two in-person visits per day by a dedicated member of the TGH at Home clinical team.
In addition to in-person care, TGH is leveraging innovative technology to provide optimal care outside of the hospital. TGH is excited to partner with the Israel-based Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) platform Biobeat to provide each patient with a wireless device that continuously transmits vital signs. The device serves as a blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter and thermometer, all in one. In addition to continuous patient monitoring, TGH is proud to work with U.S.-based telehealth provider TytoCare to offer TGH Virtual Health Kit powered by TytoCare. This virtual health platform provides patients with a cellular-enabled tablet to transfer information on a patient's vital signs and can also be used to conduct telehealth visits with providers. The equipment is provided at no additional cost and is continually monitored by the care team.
Using this technology, the TGH at Home care team of doctors and nurses stay in close contact with each patient to monitor their condition and make any treatment changes needed for an optimum recovery. Patients have around-the-clock access to health care professionals, should they have a question or concern. So that the care team can respond in a timely manner, patients must live within a 30-minute drive from Tampa General. In the unlikely event of an emergency, the care team will facilitate transport to the hospital or other emergency care as needed.
Initially, TGH at Home will be limited to patients with certain conditions that include:
- Congestive heart failure (CHF)
- Urinary tract infection (UTI)
- Cellulitis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Diabetes
Advantages for patients include:
- Patient-centric care
- Privacy of being at home
- Comfort of family, friends and pets
- Reduced risk of hospital-acquired infections
- Equivalent or better outcomes when compared with traditional hospital care
"TGH at Home is all about improving access to care and the patient experience,'' said Dr. Peggy Duggan, executive vice president and chief medical officer at Tampa General. "Patients are thoroughly evaluated to determine if their medical condition makes them a candidate for TGH at Home. They receive elements of world-class hospital care in their home with supportive nursing care and, most importantly, their family. We know that patients have a better recovery when surrounded by what is familiar to them."
According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, a systematic review of nine studies found that individuals receiving Hospital at Home care had a 26% lower risk of readmission to the hospital and a lower risk for long-term care admission than traditionally hospitalized patients. Patients who received Hospital at Home care also had lower depression and anxiety scores than patients receiving in-hospital care.
"TGH at Home is the future of medicine happening now, thanks to innovations in technology and advancing care models," said Dr. Peter Chang, vice president of Healthcare Design, Tampa General. "These programs are gaining traction around the country and the benefits are tangible: An improved patient experience, shorter hospital stay, reduced risk of hospital readmission and more cost-efficient care." For more information on TGH at Home, call 813-844-8705 or visit TGH at Home.

Tax repayments related to losses incurred by removing North Sea assets will not be touched by the energy profits levy.
A senior figure at HM Treasury has confirmed decommissioning rebates will be exempt from the new 25% windfall tax, a key ask of industry.
Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who announced his shock resignation last night, met with oil and gas chiefs in Aberdeen recently to listen to concerns about the unintended consequences of the policy.
Announced by government earlier this year in response to a surge in the cost-of-living, the levy added 25% to the base industry tax rate of 40%.
An investment relief mechanism was also included as a sweetener.
Some clarification at last
Announcing the measure in May, the then Chancellor said companies would not be able to offset previous losses or decommissioning costs against profits subject to the levy.
In a boon to industry, Lucy Frazer, financial secretary to the treasury, told the House of Commons that tax repayments won’t be hit by the energy profits levy.
She said: “Two weeks ago, the former Chancellor met with industry stakeholders in Aberdeen to discuss the levy. Not just to communicate the aims of the levy, on how it will go to fund vital support for families, but to ensure the levy works as the government intended.
“That’s why I can confirm the government is making a change to the legislation. I can confirm that tax repayments that oil and gas companies received for petroleum revenue tax – related to losses generated by decommissioning expenditure – will not be taxed under the levy.
“Since wider decommissioning expenditure is also left out of account for the levy, this change is consistent and fair. We are very grateful for the engagement we’ve had with industry on this matter.”
Chief executive of trade body Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) and harsh critic of the windfall tax, Deirdre Michie said: “While we remain deeply concerned about the impact the levy will have on the UK industry’s ability to meet the country’s energy needs and play a critical role in the economy, we recognise that the government has listened to the concerns put forward by industry and addressed some of those within the bill.
“This gives some reassurance that government understands the offshore oil and gas sector must remain attractive for business so it can continue producing the energy and solutions we will need for the low-carbon UK of the future.
“We now ask that they continue to actively engage with the sector as the Levy unfolds, and take into account our further recommendations.”
Decommissioning rebates
UK firms can only claim a rebate once their fields stop production, meaning they can carry back big decommissioning losses against premium taxes paid during production.
Given the Petroleum Revenue Tax was introduced in 1975, refunds can date back decades, leading to large sums being paid to companies in some cases.
Professor Alex Kemp, a leading petroeconomist at Aberdeen University, said: “My understanding is that tax repayments of Petroleum Revenue Tax, relating to decommissioning losses, will not be taxed under the energy profits levy. This clarification is certainly logical and will be welcomed by the industry.”
Platform electrification added to investment relief
In an effort to incentivise companies to invest in new oil and gas developments, the windfall tax also included a near doubling of the investment allowance.
It means firms will get 91 pence back for every £1 they spend, for a total relief rate of 91.25%.
There were calls for this to extend to investment on decarbonising oil and gas production, such as platform electrification, a point government has now conceded.
Ms Frazer said: “Such spending can be used to decarbonise their oil and gas production, for example through electrification. Therefore, any capital expenditure on electrification, as long as it relates to specific oil activities within the ring-fence, will qualify for the allowance.
“Examples of the activity that may be carried out for the specific oil activities include expenditure on plant and machinery, such as generators, which includes wind turbines, transformers and wiring.”
Orcadian Energy, a North Sea firm with grand plans for platform electrification, has praised the decision to broaden the investment relief. | https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/north-sea/decom/425341/decommissioning-rebates-exempt-from-windfall-tax/ | 2022-07-07T20:27:42Z | https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/north-sea/decom/425341/decommissioning-rebates-exempt-from-windfall-tax/ | false | 1 |

A BOYANT atmosphere and sense of optimism was clearly evident in the Talbot Hotel, Carlow last week as Sinn Féin hosted its ‘Time for Change’ public meeting.
The party’s heavy hitters, president Mary Lou McDonald, spokesperson for finance Pierce Doherty and spokesperson for housing Eoin Ó Broin were in attendance, while the meeting was chaired by Carlow/Kilkenny deputy Kathleen Funchion.
The party’s record high in the latest opinion polls was reflected in the very large attendance and the very active engagement by the audience.
Time for Change is part of a nationwide series of public meetings organised by Sinn Féin, outlining their policies and proposals should their surge in popularity ring through come election day.
“There was a very big crowd there alright and the word coming from head office is that the Carlow meeting was one of the best they’ve held so far,” said Jim Deane, Carlow Sinn Féin representative.
“The feeling from people there is that they were very impressed with how each of the speakers answered the questions asked and were able to back them up with independently verified facts and figures,” said Jim.
“It was a public meeting and an open forum, so it was great to see so many people there who weren’t traditional Sinn Féin supporters or voters but wanted to be able to ask the question … there’s no point preaching to the converted, so that was very positive,” he said.
Mr Deane added that the series of meeting are about engaging with the public and allowing Sinn Féin to “put their cards on the table in black and white”.
“We ran out of time really, so what was very good, too, is that the speakers stayed after the meeting to talk to people and answer their questions; it was a very good public meeting,” said Jim. | https://carlow-nationalist.ie/2022/07/07/sf-top-brass-turn-out-for-carlow-meeting/ | 2022-07-07T20:30:12Z | https://carlow-nationalist.ie/2022/07/07/sf-top-brass-turn-out-for-carlow-meeting/ | true | 1 |
Texans face skyrocketing home energy bills despite natural gas exports
By Mitchell Ferman , The Texas Tribune
Texans are seeing skyrocketing home electric bills this spring and summer, with many customers paying at least 50% more than they did for electric bills at this time last year.
And nobody seems to know when costs will go down.
“I am worried people are going to be shocked,” said John Ballenger, vice president at Texas retail electric provider Champion Energy. “Realizing this is 50 or 60 or 70% higher than what they had paid before, I’m just not sure it’s real to people yet. If it’s not, it will be very, very soon when the bills hit this summer.”
Here’s what Texans need to know about why utility bills are getting more expensive:
What’s driving electricity and gas bills higher?
The elevated utility bills have primarily been driven by the price of natural gas, which has shot up more than 200% since late February when Russia, a top gas-producing country, invaded Ukraine and upended the world’s energy market.
Since then, Texas, the leading natural gas-producing state in the U.S., has not been able to keep offering its own residents cheap energy.
Since the war in Ukraine began, Texas has been exporting more natural gas than ever before, sending much of it to Europe as many countries try to wean themselves off Russian gas. Congress lifted a longtime ban on exporting U.S. oil and gas in 2015, which opened world markets to Texas oil and gas producers.
“People are lining up around the world to get our product,” said Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil and Gas Association.
But demand for natural gas has also been growing at home as more people and businesses continue to flock to Texas. A hotter-than-normal spring and early summer also have driven demand for power to record-high levels. Most Texas power plants run on natural gas.
“We’ve seen Texas gas go over to Europe, which has then created a supply issue locally in the state of Texas,” said Cory Kuchinsky, chief financial officer and treasurer for CPS Energy, San Antonio’s municipal utility that provides energy to more than 1 million customers. “Our customers feel the real-time impact of changing fuel costs.”
The hike in utility bills comes during difficult financial times for many Texans, who have also been facing high prices at grocery stores and the fuel pump due to growing inflation.
How long will Texans see higher utility bills?
With the war in Ukraine dragging on and upending the world energy market, Texas electricity providers are cautioning customers that the high rates could linger for months or longer.
The higher prices will, however, benefit some Texans. As a major gas producer, the state typically benefits from high oil and gas prices in the form of jobs and state taxes on oil and gas production. Cities located in the state’s oil fields usually benefit even more.
“I grew up in Odessa in the middle of oil and gas, and there’s always been this inverse relationship,” said Carrie Collier-Brown, lawyer for the Alliance for Retail Markets, a trade group for Texas electric providers. “For folks out there, it’s better for their economy when gas prices are high.”
But despite the spike in demand, the oil and gas industry isn’t seeing major production growth because of a backlog of orders for vital equipment due to supply chain issues stemming from the pandemic, said Garrett Golding, energy economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
“There’s also a shortage of labor across most of the oilfield services,” Golding said, noting that companies are trying to hire aggressively. “But we’ve seen it for several quarters now: It is a struggle to get qualified people into the positions (companies) want right now.”
Is the price of natural gas the only cause?
While they agree the price of natural gas is the primary driver behind Texas utility bills, energy experts say there are other factors at play.
The state’s main power grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, has been managing the grid more cautiously since last February, when millions of people were without power for days in subfreezing temperatures after a combination of cold weather across the state and skyrocketing demand for energy shut down power plants as well as the natural gas facilities that supply them with fuel. Hundreds of people died.
Public Utility Commission chair Peter Lake, appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott after the winter storm to lead the agency in charge of ERCOT , has said the grid operator is no longer prioritizing providing Texans cheap power. Instead, Lake said, its main focus is the grid’s reliability, especially during extreme hot or cold weather. But that has a price.
“Conservative operations add costs,” said Cathy Webking, a longtime Texas energy lawyer.
ERCOT’s new approach to operating the grid means asking power plants to be online and available in case they’re needed, and that means paying generators a prescribed price to operate no matter what happens. Before the 2021 winter storm, power plants ramped up or went offline based on market demand.
Golding, with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, said Texans are paying for last year’s grid disaster — and will for years. Texas lawmakers last year approved roughly $7 billion in ratepayer-backed bonds to deal with the financial fallout from the storm. Some electricity utilities were strapped with billions in new debt after paying exorbitant prices for electricity set by ERCOT during the storm — the high prices were an incentive for power plants to provide more electricity — and the debt drove some utilities into bankruptcy.
“On everybody’s bill, there are also these surcharges for paying for what happened in 2021,” Golding said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday called Boris Johnson by telephone to express his “sadness” over the British leader’s resignation as Conservative leader and impending departure as prime minister, Kyiv said.
“We all welcome this news with sadness. Not only me, but also all of Ukrainian society which sympathises with you a lot,” the presidency quoted Zelensky as saying, reiterating how grateful Ukrainians were for the British prime minister’s support since the Russian invasion.
Johnson has been seen as one of Ukraine’s most vocal and fervent supporters in the West.
“We don’t doubt that Great Britain’s support will continue, but your personal leadership and your charisma made it special,” said Zelensky.
The two leaders also discussed military and political cooperation between the two countries and negotiations designed to unblock grain exports from Ukrainian ports, Kyiv added. | https://dailyguidenetwork.com/zelensky-expresses-sadness-at-boris-johnsons-departure/ | 2022-07-07T20:34:21Z | https://dailyguidenetwork.com/zelensky-expresses-sadness-at-boris-johnsons-departure/ | true | 2 |

The price of eggs in Israel rises on Friday, July 8, by an average of 6.5 percent, and by 7.2 percent, the Agriculture Ministry announced.
A dozen X-Large eggs will rise by 5.6 percent to NIS 13.1; a dozen Large eggs will jump 6.6 percent to NIS 12.05; size Medium will rise by 7.2 percent to NIS 11.15.
For comparison, the price of eggs rose in 2019 by a scant 1.44 percent.
“The rise in prices embodies the recommendations of the joint price committee for the ministries of finance and agriculture since June 2021,” the ministry said in its announcement.
“These are maximum prices so that chains and supermarkets can sell cheaper, but not at a higher price than the regulated price.”
Why Are Prices Rising?
Increased costs throughout the supply chain and the current reduced availability of feed and grains has affected the price of eggs, according to The Poultry Site. But avian influenza – bird flu – has also played a part, according to Ben Dellaert of the International Egg Commission.
The Israeli Finance Ministry raised the import quota on eggs and honey this past February in a move aimed at lowering the cost of living while wrestling with local private sector suppliers.
Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman signed an order at that time to double the amount of fresh egg imports to one billion, along with an order to allow imports of up to 2,000 tons of honey.
However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine — one of the world’s largest grain exporters — began on February 24, seriously affecting global supply and prices as a result.

No tears for Maria as she loses to role model Jabeur
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
LONDON, July 7 (Reuters) - Germany's Tatjana Maria had just lost the biggest match of her life yet all she could do was heap praise on her conqueror Ons Jabeur -- a friend she described as being "an amazing inspiration for a lot of women on this planet".
Maria's run to the Wimbledon semi-finals has been the feel-good story of the championships as 15 months after giving birth to her second daughter Cecilia, the 103rd-ranked German finally made it to the last four of a Grand Slam at the 49th attempt.
That she came up against her closest friend on the circuit, whom her eldest daughter Charlotte fondly calls "Aunt Ons", was a moment to cherish for both players.

"Ons is an amazing role model," the 34-year-old said after her Tunisian friend became the first Arab to reach a Grand Slam final with a 6-2 3-6 6-1 victory on Thursday.
Even though third seed Jabeur had achieved the biggest win of her career by finally reaching the final of a major, she showed just how much Maria meant to her as she dragged the German back onto the middle of the court and joined in with the crowd to applaud her friend's achievement.
"It was really nice from her that at the end she wanted to celebrate with me even though it was her moment," said Maria, who also shared a loving embrace with Jabeur at the net.
"For her, it's the first time in a Grand Slam final. It was her moment but she wanted to celebrate it with me. That makes it also really special. She's such a great person. She really deserves it. I'm really happy for her, too.
"On the court we knew both that we will go out and do our best, and after we knew that we were still going to be friends ... she's part of our family. She's an amazing person. I'm really happy for her and I hope she can win it."
BIGGEST CHEQUE
There was nothing less amazing about Maria's performance over the past 11 days.
Until this fortnight, the German's best showing at a major was a solitary third-round run at the All England Club in 2015. Of her previous 48 attempts, she did not even progress past qualifying 14 times.
While the German banked the biggest cheque she's ever received - 535,000 pounds ($643,000) - boosting her 16-year career earnings of $3.5 million, the huge jump she could have expected in her ranking will not materialise.
Wimbledon was stripped of awarding any ranking points after it excluded Russian and Belarussian players from this year's tournament in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, which Russia calls a 'special operation'.
Maria, however, wanted to look on the bright side of what she described as "a crazy adventure with my family.
"Everything will stay the same after Wimbledon because my ranking will not go up (by much). What is already special for me because now I will be the first time top 100 with my two kids," said the German, who was ranked outside the top 300 in January.
"I'm 34 years old with two kids and playing first time in a semi-final at Wimbledon. I can beat good players and I have to believe in myself to keep going.
"People will see that everything is possible, even to keep going, to believe in themselves, to keep going, to fight, to love what they are doing, to enjoy, at the end to enjoy life."

Major cryptocurrencies continue to recover from last week’s lows
Bitcoin continues to hold above $20,000, trading at around $20,400 this morning.
The leading cryptocurrency is now up more than one per cent over the past 24 hours and five per cent over the past seven days, as it continues to recover from last week’s dip below the psychologically important $20k mark.
After earlier in the month appearing to recover its grip over the market, Bitcoin’s dominance has since dropped back from 48 per cent to around 43 per cent as other major cryptocurrencies have recovered at a faster rate.
The price of Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is up three per cent this morning to $1,170. Other major cryptocurrencies – including Solana and Cardano – are also up around three per cent since this time yesterday.
Again, crypto markets seem to be tracking major equity markets as they’ve done far more often than not in recent months. The tech-focused Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average all closed up, albeit slightly.

The Biden administration has issued a memorandum outlining the steps agency acquisition officers can take to meet the fiscal year 2022 goal of awarding 11 percent of total contract dollars to small disadvantaged businesses.
The memo calls on agencies to use existing and open market contracts to achieve a mix of new entrant and seasoned 8(a) businesses and SDBs, evaluate acquisitions under the simplified acquisition threshold and maximize the use of the 8(a) business development program, the White House said in a June 29 release.
Agencies should review the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) no-contracts list of eligible firms, work with an 8(a) contractor for a construction project, consider software development requirements that might be suitable for the 8(a) program and take advantage of the General Services Administration’s 8(a) STARS III governmentwide acquisition contract.
According to the document, the 8(a) STARS III GWAC provides agencies access to more than 1,100 8(a) contractors offering a range of information technology services, including artificial intelligence, robotic process automation, cybersecurity, quantum computing and blockchain technology.
The administration said the contract has supported more than $15 billion in agency orders to SDBs over the last decade.
The memo also urges agencies to maximize opportunities for SDBs when using GSA’s Federal Supply Schedule program and use the category management Quick Decision Dashboard and the Small Business Dashboard to immediately identify the existing contracts that offer access to SDBs.
Lesley Field, acting administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy at the Office of Management and Budget, signed the memo with Bibi Hidalgo, associate administrator for government contracting and business development at SBA; Farooq Mitha, director of the office of small business programs at the Department of Defense; and Miguel Estien, acting national director of the Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency. | https://executivegov.com/2022/07/white-house-memo-outlines-measures-to-meet-small-disadvantaged-business-goal/ | 2022-07-07T20:43:30Z | https://executivegov.com/2022/07/white-house-memo-outlines-measures-to-meet-small-disadvantaged-business-goal/ | false | 1 |
The Caribbean’s summer Carnival season is upon us, and the island of Grenada is preparing to welcome back its Spicemas celebration after a nearly 3-year hiatus. While this colorful event has events that run across several weeks during the summer, the main festivities will take place August 8 and 9.
Spicemas aka August Mas is an explosive celebration of the island’s rich African, Caribbean, British and French Heritage. During that time, Grenada aka The Spice Isle— due to its production of some of the world’s best nutmeg— will crown a new Carnival queen, host a series of energetic Calypso and Soca competitions, and of course there will be plenty of parades with colorful costumes and dancing in the streets until dawn.
“We are thrilled by the return of Spicemas this summer,” Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, said in a statement. “It is undoubtedly a highlight of the year for locals and visitors alike, showcasing the best entertainment and culture that Grenada has to offer. We look forward to welcoming revelers who return year after year and first timers for this unique and all-immersive event.”
On Monday, August 8, visitors and locals will take to the streets in the early morning hours— while covered in everything from paint and molasses to tar and even chocolate— for the official J’ouvert parade. The morning celebration is a way to honor the ancestors through song, dance, and chants as loud drums are played in accompaniment. That afternoon, local bands will gear up for the Monday Night Mas that goes until dawn.
“Coming out of a successful Spicemas 2019, and a two-year hiatus, we are beaming with excitement to put on Spicemas this year and welcome our visitors and returning nationals to ‘Spicemas 2022 D Return’,” Kelvin Jacob, CEO of the Spicemas Corporation, said. “We have worked hard and made fundamental changes to enhance the product and make it one second to none.”
The events wrap up on Tuesday (August 9) with the Last Lap aka the parade of bands. Bands from all the island’s parishes will gather while dawning bright costumes as they entertain onlookers with the sounds of steel drums, Calypso music and popular Carnival songs.
If you’re heading to the ‘Spice Island’ for Spicemas, or you have plans to visit soon, here are a few things to check out while on the island.
- Snorkel or dive the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park: One of the island’s most popular attractions is its underwater sculpture park, featuring nearly 75 sculptures below the ocean’s surface. Located in Molinere Beauséjour Marine Protected Area, the human replicas are said to be a tribute to enslaved men and women who once inhabited the area. A highlight is the Vicissitudes sculpture, which depicts a group of children holding hands in a circle. The entire sculpture park is said to be the first of its kind, although others have now been formed in other parts of the world.
- Take a dip in Grand Anse Beach: Easily the area’s most popular beach, here you will find plenty of water sports, local vendors, dining as well as hotels. Known for its powdery white sands, Grand Anse Beach stretches 2-miles long across Grenada’s southwest cost.
- “Dance the Cocoa” at the Belmont Estate: Although once a cocoa plantation, this property has now been converted to give visitors an up-close look into how the island traditionally produced chocolate. About an hour’s drive from the town of St. Georges, here you can take a tour and take part in the ‘dance the cocoa’ ritual, which involves polishing cocoa beans with your bare feet.
- Indulge in the island’s national dish: Oildown is a traditional stew-like meal that is usually made during holidays and celebrations, so you can guarantee it will be in abundance during Spicemas. The dish is typically made of coconut milk, breadfruit, turmeric, callaloo and of course local spices. Many places will also add meat or seafood to the pot as well.
- Go chasing waterfalls: There are over 15 waterfalls on the island, and many are accessible via a short hike or scenic walk. The most popular falls are Annandale, which towers at around 30-feet. You are able to safely swim in the falls, and you’ll want to leave some time to explore the surrounding gardens. Don’t forget your camera. | https://www.ebony.com/life/travel/grenadas-spicemas-celebration-returns-after-pandemic-hiatus/ | 2022-07-07T20:43:45Z | https://www.ebony.com/life/travel/grenadas-spicemas-celebration-returns-after-pandemic-hiatus/ | false | 1 |

Pringles wants spider that looks like mascot renamed
Published: Jul. 7, 2022 at 2:40 PM CDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
(CNN) - Pringles is on a mission to rename a spider.
The potato chip company is asking people to sign a petition to rename the kidney garden spider to the Pringles spider, saying it looks like its mascot, Mr. P.
They pointed to its round white body and distinctive markings, including the massive mustache, as the reason.
Pringles is hoping the spider community will recognize the spider as their own.
The company is offering free chips to the first 1,500 who sign the petition - if it gets the name changed.

Elden Ring's Most Famous Player Just Received A Sword From Bandai Namco
If there's one way to prove that you've made it in any given game, it's when the studio behind the title decides to award you with a prize just because of your accomplishments. Sound a bit crazy? It happens sometimes! This time around, it happened to the most famous "Elden Ring" player known as Let Me Solo Her. Also known as KleinTsuboi, the player has helped countless "Elden Ring" fans achieve their goal, and as a reward, Bandai Namco rewarded them with an enviable set of goodies, including an actual sword. Here's what Let Me Solo Her did to deserve such recognition.
Assuming you've never heard of Let Me Solo Her, the slightly strange name refers to a player character in the "Elden Ring" game who rose to unprecedented levels of fame in a very short time. It all started with Malenia, a boss in "Elden Ring" that's especially unforgiving — and that's saying something, given that the "Souls"-like title is pretty merciless as a whole. Many players bash their heads against the wall over and over trying to defeat Malenia. Fortunately, they don't have to play alone — "Elden Ring" offers players the option to summon those who are willing to help out.
This results in countless signs being placed outside the entrance to the boss room where other players offer assistance when summoned to your game. Amongst those signs, you could often find Let Me Solo Her. The character had more than just an odd name — it was very strangely dressed, too, wearing nothing but underwear and a jar on its head alongside a set of weapons. However, it's skill and dedication that got Let Me Solo Her to become a player favorite.
Let Me Solo Her defeated Malenia countless times
Let Me Solo Her stood out from other available summons with the unorthodox set of equipment, but despite looking like someone who is only there for a joke, they proved to be extremely skilled at beating Malenia, assisting countless players in the daunting task. Upon joining the summoner's world, Let Me Solo Her would do exactly as promised — they would solo the boss if they had to, helping the player progress in the game. They started being recognized by players, and eventually spoke up on the "Elden Ring" subreddit in a post that still remains one of the most upvoted of all time in that community.
Given how iconic Let Me Solo Her had become, it's a little less surprising to see that Bandai Namco reached out and sent them a box of goodies that would have every "Elden Ring" fan weeping with joy. KleinTsuboi shared the news on Twitter, showing off the box that contains a massive sword, a custom-made plaque with artwork of the"Elden Ring" character, and a map scroll. The player went on to detail their own experience with "Souls"-like games and how they had almost quit during a playthrough of "Dark Souls 3" upon getting stuck on a particularly difficult boss.
The experience, instead of being negative, seems to have encouraged KleinTsuboi to try and prevent other players from ending up in that situation. If you're still trying to beat Malenia in your "Elden Ring" playthrough, the bad news is that Let Me Solo Her seems to have retired after defeating the boss 1,000 times. The iconic kills were shown in a nearly three-hour livestream that led up to KleinTsuboi hitting the 1,000 mark. | https://www.slashgear.com/920395/elden-rings-most-famous-player-just-received-a-sword-from-bandai-namco/ | 2022-07-07T20:54:49Z | https://www.slashgear.com/920395/elden-rings-most-famous-player-just-received-a-sword-from-bandai-namco/ | false | 1 |

Using a model of the housing market and data on listings and sales, Elliot Anenberg and Daniel Ringo of the Federal Reserve Board find that housing demand explained essentially all of the variation in home sales and 80 percent of the variation in home prices between 2002 to 2021. During the pandemic, house prices increased because of a surge in demand that would have required a 30 percent increase in listings to maintain pre-pandemic prices, representing a 300 percent increase in new construction. This suggests that policies to reduce bottlenecks to new construction would have done little to cool the pandemic housing market because, even under ideal conditions, construction could not have increased by nearly this much. The authors also show that housing demand is more sensitive to interest rates than previously estimated, with a 1 percentage point increase in mortgage rates reducing demand by 10.4 percent, suggesting that policies that target mortgage rates are an effective way to influence the housing market in the short run.
Using establishment-level data from the Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Business Database, Antonio Falato of the Federal Reserve Board and co-authors find that increased concentrations of institutional ownership reduce employment and payroll. Specifically, the authors find that a 10 percentage point increase in large institutional ownership is associated with between a 2.1 percent to 2.5 percent reduction in a firm’s employment and payroll. Furthermore, higher levels of institutional ownership are associated with higher shareholder returns but no improvements in productivity, suggesting a reallocation of resources from workers to shareholders. Based on estimates from the microdata, the authors estimate that the rise in concentrated institutional ownership could explain about one-quarter of the decline in the share of national income going to labor.
Republicans were 8.0 percent less likely, on average, than Democrats to purchase health insurance from Affordable Care Act marketplaces, with healthy Republicans 12.9 percent less likely to purchase coverage than equivalently healthy Democrats, find Leonardo Bursztyn of the University of Chicago and coauthors. The authors link individual-level survey data from the Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll from 2014-2019 to cost data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. They find that this “political adverse selection” of healthy Republicans out of the program increased average per capita costs in ACA marketplaces by 2.7 percent. As a result, government spending on low-income subsidies increased by $105 per enrollee, with larger increases in more heavily Republican regions.

“In the current situation, from a risk-management perspective, it is important for policymakers to ask which situation would be more costly: erroneously assuming longer-term inflation expectations are well anchored at the level consistent with price stability when, in fact, they are not? Or erroneously assuming that they are moving with economic conditions when they are actually anchored? Simulations of the Board’s FRB/US model suggest that the more costly error is assuming inflation expectations are anchored when they are not.” says Loretta J. Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
“If inflation expectations are drifting up and policymakers treat them as stable, policy will be set too loose. Inflation would then move up and this would be reinforced by increasing inflation expectations. If, on the other hand, inflation expectations are actually stable and policymakers view the drift up with concern, policy will initially be set tighter than it should. Inflation would move down, perhaps even below target, but not for long, since inflation expectations are anchored at the goal.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The IRS commissioner has asked the Treasury Department’s internal watchdog to immediately review the circumstances surrounding intensive tax audits that targeted ex-FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, frequent targets of Donald Trump’s ire during his presidency.
IRS spokesperson Jodie Reynolds said Thursday the agency has officially referred the matter to the inspector general for tax administration after Commissioner Charles Rettig, who was nominated to the job by Trump and is a close ally of the former president, personally reached out.
Reynolds insisted it is “ludicrous and untrue to suggest that senior IRS officials somehow targeted specific individuals” for such audits.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that the former FBI leaders were subjected to rare IRS audits of their tax returns. The newspaper said Comey was informed of the audit in 2019 and McCabe learned he was under scrutiny in 2021. Rettig, who term is set to expire in November, faced blistering criticism from Democrats for helping to shield Trump’s tax returns from the public.
Trump repeatedly attacked Comey and McCabe over the FBI’s Russia investigation that shadowed his presidency for years. Trump fired Comey in 2017 in the midst of that investigation, which ultimately was taken over by special counsel Robert Mueller, named to that job by Trump’s Justice Department.
The FBI inquiry began in the summer of 2016, months before Trump was elected. The bureau had learned that a former Trump campaign aide had been saying, before it was publicly known, that Russia had dirt on Trump’s Democratic rival for the White House, Hillary Clinton, in the form of stolen emails.
Those emails were hacked from Democratic email accounts by Russian intelligence. They were released by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks before the election in what U.S. officials have said was an effort to harm Clinton’s campaign and help Trump’s. Trump repeatedly called the investigation a “witch hunt.”
A 2019 review by the Justice Department’s inspector general knocked down multiple lines of attack against the Russia investigation, finding that officials properly opened the inquiry and that law enforcement leaders were not motivated by political bias. The watchdog did identify a number of problems in the investigation, leading the FBI to take steps aimed at fixing some fundamental operations, such as applying for surveillance warrants and interacting with confidential sources.
McCabe was fired in March 2018 after the Justice Department’s inspector general concluded he had authorized the release of information to a newspaper reporter and then misled internal investigators about his role in the leak. The termination by Jeff Sessions, Trump’s attorney general at the time, came hours before McCabe was due to retire.
McCabe won back his full pension as part of a settlement of his lawsuit arising from his firing. The settlement agreement vacated that decision, expunged from his personnel folder references to the firing and entitled McCabe, who joined the FBI in 1996, to his full pension.
McCabe and Comey were not immediately available for comment Thursday. | https://www.wkrg.com/news/politics/irs-asks-treasury-watchdog-to-probe-comey-mccabe-audits/ | 2022-07-07T20:56:46Z | https://www.wkrg.com/news/politics/irs-asks-treasury-watchdog-to-probe-comey-mccabe-audits/ | false | 25 |
LEXINGTON, Mass., July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Curis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRIS), a biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, today announced that on July 5, 2022, the independent Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Curis approved the grant of inducement stock options to purchase a total of 873,750 shares of Curis common stock to sixteen new employees, with a grant date of July 5, 2022 (the "Q3 2022 Inducement Grants").
Each of the Q3 2022 Inducement Grants has an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on July 5, 2022. Each stock option has a 10 year term and vests over four years, with 25% of the original number of shares underlying the award vesting on the first anniversary of the employee's date of hire and an additional 6.25% of the original number of shares underlying the award vesting on each successive three-month period thereafter, subject to the employee's continued service with the Company through the respective vesting dates. Each stock option was granted as an inducement equity award outside of the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and was made as an inducement material to the employee's acceptance of employment with the Company.
Curis is a biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. In 2015, Curis entered into a collaboration with Aurigene in the areas of immuno-oncology and precision oncology. As part of this collaboration, Curis has exclusive licenses to oral small molecule antagonists of immune checkpoints including the VISTA/PDL1 antagonist CA-170, and the TIM3/PDL1 antagonist CA-327, as well as the IRAK4 kinase inhibitor, emavusertib (CA-4948). Emavusertib is currently undergoing testing in the Phase 1/2 TakeAim Lymphoma trial, in patients with hematologic malignancies, such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other B cell malignancies, both as a monotherapy and in combination with BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, and the Phase 1/2 TakeAim Leukemia trial in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, for which it has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has placed a partial clinical hold on the TakeAim Leukemia and TakeAim Lymphoma trials during which no new patients will be enrolled, and current study participants benefiting from treatment may continue to be treated with emavusertib at doses of 300mg BID or lower. In addition, Curis is engaged in a collaboration with ImmuNext for development of CI-8993, a monoclonal anti-VISTA antibody, which is currently undergoing testing in a Phase 1 trial in patients with solid tumors.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A jury on Thursday convicted former Theranos executive Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani of collaborating with disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes in a massive fraud involving the blood-testing company that once enthralled Silicon Valley.
The 12 jurors found Balwani guilty on all 12 felony counts of defrauding both Theranos investors and the patients who relied on wildly unreliable blood tests that could have jeopardized their health.

Balwani sat expressionless as the verdicts were read.
The outcome puts Balwani and Holmes in similar situations. Holmes was convicted on four counts of investor fraud and conspiracy earlier this year. During that trial, Holmes tearfully accused Balwani of sexually emotionally abusing her while they were lovers. An attorney for Balwani has vehemently denied those charges.
Both Holmes, 38, and Balwani, 57, face up to 20 years in prison.
Holmes is scheduled to be sentenced in late September. The date of Balwani’s sentencing is expected to be set in the coming days.
The dual convictions representing a resounding victory for federal prosecutors, who seized on the Theranos case as a rare opportunity to hold ambitious entrepreneurs accountable for engaging in technological hyperbole while pursuing fame and fortune.
In the process, they hoped to discourage the practice of making bold and unproven promises about still-nascent products — a startup strategy known as “fake it until you make it.” | https://www.fox46.com/crime-and-public-safety/ramesh-sunny-balwani-elizabeth-holmes-former-partner-found-guilty-in-theranos-blood-testing-fraud/ | 2022-07-07T20:59:21Z | https://www.fox46.com/crime-and-public-safety/ramesh-sunny-balwani-elizabeth-holmes-former-partner-found-guilty-in-theranos-blood-testing-fraud/ | true | 2 |

After adding Sam Darnold last season, the Panthers may be sending a signal that they're ready for a change by drafting Matt Corral in the 2022 NFL Draft as well as trading for Baker Mayfield later in the offseason. As of now, the belief is that Darnold and Mayfield will compete to see who will start, but Corral will be waiting in the wings.
Notable Panthers roster additions:
- Quarterback – Matt Corral (NFL Draft)
- Punter - Johnny Hekker (Los Angeles Rams)
- Quarterback - Baker Mayfield (Cleveland Browns)
Notable Panthers roster losses:
- Cornerback - Stephon Gilmore (Indianapolis Colts)
- Linebacker - Hasaan Reddick (Philadelphia Eagles)
- Defensive tackle - DaQuan Jones (Buffalo Bills) | https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/2022-new-orleans-saints-opponent-profile-carolina-panthers | 2022-07-07T20:59:52Z | https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/2022-new-orleans-saints-opponent-profile-carolina-panthers | true | 1 |
Transport Infrastructure Ireland has approved funding for traffic lights at the dangerous junction in Frenchpark.
The news has been welcomed by Roscommon/Galway TD Claire Kerrane who says the instillation now needs to be done with pace.
The junction is along the busy N5 which is the main road from West Mayo to Dublin and is a blindspot for motorists trying to turn onto the N5.
The Sinn Fein Deputy has also raised the issue of speed in both Frenchpark and Ballinagare located along the N5, saying many motorists are failing to slow down when they come to these villages.
Deputy Claire Kerrane told Midwest Radio's Alannah Nolan that it's now back to Roscommon County Council to issue design plans for the new lights.. | https://www.midwestradio.ie/index.php/news/58962-roscommon-galway-td-welcomes-funding-for-traffic-lights-at-the-dangerous-junction-in-frenchpark | 2022-07-07T20:59:52Z | https://www.midwestradio.ie/index.php/news/58962-roscommon-galway-td-welcomes-funding-for-traffic-lights-at-the-dangerous-junction-in-frenchpark | true | null |

Which camping stool is best?
A stool is a key piece of camping gear, as it can vastly improve your experience no matter what you plan to achieve during your adventure. The best camping stool is sturdy enough to support your weight, comfortable enough to relax on by the fire with friends, and lightweight enough to include in your gear without weighing you down.
If you want something that boasts all of those benefits, with extras, the Jenseits Backpack Cooler Stool is a top choice.
What to know before you buy a camping stool
Its purpose
A camping stool is a backless seat that is easily portable. It’s crucial because it provides comfortable seating while it keeps you off the potentially wet, muddy, or cold dirt. It’s also vital for avoiding bites from bugs or anything else that crawls or slithers on the ground.
While these stools are versatile enough to take anywhere, they are most commonly used for hunting, fishing, and relaxing by the fire.
Its frame material
Your camping stool needs to be both durable and lightweight. Here are three common materials their frames are made from and their primary benefits.
- Aluminum: It’s lightweight, affordable, and does not rust.
- Polypropylene: It’s affordable, lightweight, and waterproof.
- Steel: It lasts for years, is easy to maintain, and can tolerate more weight.
Its frame design
The best frame for your stool depends on where you plan to use it most. While a foldable design with a fabric seat can be comfortable when sitting by the fire, that setup is not ideal for hunters who need a stealthy seat with adjustable heights. Here are three common frame styles that might fit your needs.
- Telescopic: Performs best on flat surfaces, opens into a column design and packs into a thin disk when closed. You can adjust its height by pulling apart its interlocking segments.
- Three-legged: Boasts a sturdy tripod design that provides stability no matter where you place it, as long as the feet have a nonslip grip on the bottom. It packs away easily and is very lightweight.
- Scissor: Features a foldable design built for comfort and flat surfaces. It typically has a cloth seat that gives you enough space to relax when unfolded.
What to look for in a quality camping stool
Weight capacity
While most camping stools can bear weights up to 400 pounds, some can support up to 550 pounds. Consider a camping chair if you need a seat that can handle more weight.
Lightweight
Every ounce you load onto your back matters if your camping adventure involves a hike, especially if you are headed to a remote area. Generally, your camping gear should weigh between 10%-20% of your body weight. For example, if you weigh 185 pounds, you should aim for a maximum weight of 37 pounds on your back.
That is why you should shoot for a camping stool that weighs less than 3 pounds. They are easy to find, and the rest of your gear adds up quickly.
Easy setup
One of the hardest parts of camping is the setup and tear down, so your camping stool should not add to that burden. The best ones do not require you to assemble anything; the only added piece you should need is its carrying bag or strap.
How much you can expect to spend on a camping stool
While camping stool prices vary by brand and material, most cost $25-$100.
Camping stool FAQ
How can you make your camping stool last?
A. Check that its joints are free of sand, dirt, and debris before folding them, and avoid leaving it out in direct sunlight. While it’s not always possible to keep your gear clean and dry while camping, make it a priority to wash your stool thoroughly when you get home.
What’s the difference between a camping stool and a camping chair?
A. A camping chair has a back and arms, while a stool simply provides you with a comfortable place to rest your backside.

BEIJING (AP) — The United States is “the biggest threat to world peace, stability and development,” China said Thursday, continuing its sharp rhetoric in response to U.S. accusations of Chinese spying and threats to the international order.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s comments came a day after the head of the FBI and the leader of Britain’s domestic intelligence agency raised fresh alarms about the Chinese government, warning business leaders that Beijing is determined to steal their technology for competitive gain.
The heightened tone comes ahead of a meeting Saturday between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the Group of 20 leading rich and developing nations’ ministers summit in Bali, Indonesia.
“The relevant U.S. politician has been playing up the so-called China threat to smear and attack China,” Zhao told reporters at a daily briefing when asked about FBI Director Christopher Wray’s comments reaffirming longstanding concerns in denouncing economic espionage and hacking operations by China as well as the Chinese government’s efforts to stifle dissent abroad.
“Facts have fully proven that the U.S. is the biggest threat to world peace, stability and development,” Zhao said. “We urge this U.S. official to have the right perspective, see China’s developments in an objective and reasonable manner and stop spreading lies and stop making irresponsible remarks.”
Wray’s speech was particularly notable because it took place at MI5’s London headquarters and alongside the agency’s director general, Ken McCallum, in an intended show of Western solidarity.
“We consistently see that it’s the Chinese government that poses the biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security, and by ‘our,’ I mean both of our nations, along with our allies in Europe and elsewhere,” Wray told attendees.
McCallum said the Chinese government and its “covert pressure across the globe” amounts to “the most game-changing challenge we face.”
Under Xi Jinping, president and head of the ruling Communist Party, China has assumed an increasingly aggressive foreign policy, joining with Russia in seeking to undermine the influence of the U.S. and its allies.
Beijing has refused to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — which is expected to dominate the G-20 foreign ministers meeting — while condemning Western sanctions against Moscow and accusing Washington and NATO of provoking the conflict.
At the same time, the party exercises sweeping powers over all Chinese companies and institutions, both public and private, as it seeks to dominate global markets and emerging technologies.
The Chinese government and its “covert pressure across the globe” amounts to “the most game-changing challenge we face,” McCallum said in his Wednesday remarks.
In his response, Zhao said British intelligence was “simply projecting their own dishonorable behavior onto China.”
“The head of the British intelligence service should cast away (his) evil in mind, come out of the dark room and see the sunshine, and not always hold on to the zero-sum thinking or set up so-called imaginary enemies,” he said.
Zhao on Wednesday slammed Blinken’s comments at last week’s NATO summit in Spain, in which the Secretary of State accused China of “seeking to undermine the rules-based international order.” | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/international/ap-international/china-lashes-out-at-us-british-intelligence-services/ | 2022-07-07T21:06:13Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/international/ap-international/china-lashes-out-at-us-british-intelligence-services/ | false | 41 |
Bruno Fernandes gets new shirt number at Man Utd following summer exit of superstar – and he already has a tattoo of it
BRUNO FERNANDES has changed shirt number ahead of Manchester United's pre-season tour.
The 27-year-old Portuguese midfielder has worn the No18 shirt since arriving at Old Trafford in January 2020.
But he has now become the new No8 after Juan Mata left the club at the end of last season.
And it is a number which Fernandes - who has scored 50 goals and provided 38 assists in 125 matches for Man Utd - is incredibly familiar with.
It holds a special place in his heart because he was born on September 8 in 1994.
He previously had it while at Udinese, Sporting Lisbon and also wears it for the Portugal national team.

Such is the importance of the number for Fernandes that he already has a tattoo of it on his right arm.
Man Utd tweeted a video of Fernandes and his No8 tattoo, along with the caption: "It was meant to be… 🖊🔥 Introducing our new number 8️⃣: @B_Fernandes8! 🔴."
He will now wear it on the club's pre-season tour which includes games against Liverpool, Melbourne Victory, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Atletico Madrid and Ray Vallecano.
Their first Premier League game of the campaign then comes against Brighton on Sunday, August 7.

Paul Ince, Nicky Butt and Wayne Rooney are among the Man Utd players to have worn the No8 shirt for the Red Devils.
Meanwhile, Fernandes pledged his future back in April by signing a new deal until 2026 - with the option of an additional year.
Speaking about his new contract, Fernandes said: “From the moment that I joined Manchester United, I have had a special relationship with the club and our amazing fans.
“I grew up watching this team, dreaming of getting the chance to play here one day. That dream is now a reality and an honour.
“Even after two years, it still feels amazing to step out at Old Trafford, to hear the fans sing my song and to score in front of the Stretford End.
“It is a true privilege to wear this shirt and to fight for our incredible club.” | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9125779/bruno-fernandes-new-shirt-number-man-utd-tattoo/ | 2022-07-07T21:07:26Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9125779/bruno-fernandes-new-shirt-number-man-utd-tattoo/ | true | 4 |

ST. LOUIS, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A class action lawsuit was filed in federal court alleging countless people suffered long-term exposure to lead, asbestos and other known cancer-causing substances while working at the Goodfellow Federal Complex in St. Louis, MO.
The class action alleges that the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) had long known that the Goodfellow Complex was contaminated, and yet allowed workers to be exposed to seriously hazardous substances for prolonged periods of time.
According to the suit, thousands of federal workers were in the facility daily, some for decades. The lawsuit also alleges employees were only made aware of the hazardous environment in 2019 after the Office of Inspector General of the GSA issued a scathing report. This report stated the GSA "did not take adequate action to protect tenants, contractors, and visitors from hazards at the Goodfellow complex due to ineffective environmental management programs, policies, and guidance."
The report further stated the GSA spent millions to study this problem, beginning as early as 2002, and yet did nothing once it learned of these conditions. The United States failed to properly protect these workers or even provide hazard pay for these conditions, to which they were entitled.
"Knowing their government willingly and knowingly exposed them to serious health problems shocked and disgusted thousands of employees," said attorney Kiley Grombacher. "That these individuals now have to bring a lawsuit to help them cope with the long-term medical problems they will likely suffer is unbelievable. The list of potential health problems due to this exposure is as extensive as it is tragic."
The lead plaintiff in this case worked at the Goodfellow Complex for 17 years and now faces a potentially painful future with his extensive exposure to several harmful substances.
The case is Matthew Medder et al. v. The United States of America, U.S. Federal Court, Case 1:21-cv-02325-KCD.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal is bracing for a heat wave, with temperatures in some areas forecast to climb as high as 43 C (109 F) this weekend just as a severe drought grips the country.
The Civil Protection Agency, a Portuguese government body that coordinates official responses to emergencies, said Thursday it is placing crews on high alert because of the risk of wildfires. About a third of the country faces an extreme risk of forest fires, authorities say.
The high temperatures are forecast to last at least a week. The national weather service IPMA says what it calls “tropical nights,” when temperatures stay above 20 C (68 F) after sunset, are likely.
The government said it will place the country on a formal state of alert against wildfires from Friday. That step grants authorities special powers, such as outlawing stubble burning and fireworks at summer festivals, and allows it to requisition equipment such as bulldozers for clearing fire breaks.
More than half of Portugal’s wildfires start due to negligence, studies show.
The hot spell comes as much of Portugal endures a drought. At the end of June, 96% of the country was classified as being in either “extreme” or “severe” drought — the two highest categories.
The weather service says that over the nine months since last October rainfall was just over half the average for the period and was the second-lowest since 1931, when reliable national records began.
Heat waves and droughts aren’t uncommon in Portugal, but climate scientists say all of southern Europe can expect higher temperatures and lower rainfall as a consequence of global warming.
As extremely dry weather hits Mediterranean nations, the European Union’s executive said Thursday the continent faces one of its hardest years when it comes to natural disasters like droughts and wildfires because of increasing climate change.
June was also very dry in Spain, which is Portugal’s neighbor on the Iberian Peninsula, with rainfall at about half the 30-year average and reservoirs on average at 45% capacity — 20 percentage points below the 10-year average, according to government data.

Colorado Among Top States for UFO Sightings in US
UFO sightings date back to biblical times.
In the Bible's Book of Ezekiel, a mysterious ship is described as appearing from the sky in Chaldea (modern-day Kuwait). Strange sightings were recorded around Rome in 218 B.C. A wave of mysterious apparitions showed up in fourth-century China when a “moon boat” was documented floating over the country once every 12 years. A smattering of other, unfamiliar objects in the sky were noted in Germany in 1561, Hull, England, in 1801, and multiple times during World War II when Allied pilots used the term “foo fighters” to describe the odd circles of light pilots noticed flanking their planes during combat.
The term “UFO,” short for “unidentified flying object,” was coined in 1953 by the United States Air Force as a bucket term for unexplained sightings like these. Stateside sightings were hardly restricted to military flyover zones, however. The first recorded UFO sighting dates to 1639 when, long before the era of planes and satellites, John Winthrop wrote in his diary about a large, strange light in the sky that shot back and forth. By the time he and the other men on his boat got their wits about them, their vessel was a mile from where it had been when they first spotted the light.
The first documented image of a UFO was captured in 1870 on the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. More sightings were reported at Mount Rainier in Washington in 1947, and of course several in Roswell, New Mexico. Since then, countless numbers of unusual shapes in the sky—and their supposed inhabitants—have been exhaustively reported without sufficient explanations beyond the possible existence of extraterrestrial life.
A surge in eyewitness accounts begot even more sightings along with attempts to protect against invasions and abductions. More than 40,000 Americans bought into alien protection insurance, which offers customers monetary relief should a loved one get carted away by little green men. One Roper Poll in 1991 suggests that around 4 million Americans believe they've been abducted by aliens.
The longstanding, official position of the U.S. government has been that claims of alien life stem from hoaxes or mistaking other objects like weather balloons for UFOs or alien life. A highly anticipated U.S. intelligence report on UFOs, due to Congress on June 25, is unlikely to change that position: Leaks ahead of its release suggest the official ruling will be that no evidence of alien life has been found—but conveniently can’t be ruled out.
Since its founding in 1974, the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) has documented around 90,000 UFO sightings, with almost 95% of those sightings supposedly easily explained away as military tests, weather balloons, or other terrestrial activity. Using data from NUFORC's 24/7 hotline, which has been around since 1974, Stacker compiled a ranking of the states with the most reported UFO sightings. NUFORC’s dataset includes reports dating back to 1400. | https://kool1079.com/states-most-ufo-sightings/ | 2022-07-07T21:21:14Z | https://kool1079.com/states-most-ufo-sightings/ | true | 5 |

Veteran outside linebacker Justin Houston will return to the Ravens on a one-year deal, the team announced Thursday, filling out one of the thinnest position groups on the roster.
Terms were not immediately available, but Houston, 33, made $2.075 million last year. The four-time Pro Bowl selection recorded 4 1/2 sacks and a team-high 17 quarterback hits in his first season for the Ravens, bringing his total to 102 sacks in an 11-year career that includes stops in Kansas City and Indianapolis.
In addition to his pass-rush production, Houston graded as a solid run defender and formed mentoring bonds with younger outside linebackers, especially 2021 first-round draft pick Odafe Oweh, who referred to him as “Yoda.”
“I obviously feel like guys like Justin and Calais [Campbell], they put it upon themselves to really try to push us, really try to make sure we max out everything that we can be,” Oweh said.
Houston will bring some certainty as the Ravens wait to see how starter Tyus Bowser and second-round pick David Ojabo recover from torn Achilles tendons. Daelin Hayes, a 2021 fifth-round pick, is also a candidate to earn snaps this season, with veterans Steven Means and Vince Biegel and undrafted rookies Jeremiah Moon and Chuck Wiley rounding out the position group going into training camp. Jaylon Ferguson, who was entering his fourth NFL season in Baltimore, died last month from the combined effects of fentanyl and cocaine.
The Ravens have also hosted veteran free agent Jason Pierre-Paul, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, for a visit.
Bowser and Ojabo aren’t the only outside linebackers with injury concerns. Last season, Oweh missed two games with a foot injury and then had offseason shoulder surgery, Hayes missed 16 games with foot and ankle injuries and Biegel missed 12 games as he recovered from a 2020 Achilles injury.
The Ravens used the obscure unrestricted-free-agent tender on Houston, meaning they would have had exclusive negotiating rights if he did not sign with them or another team by July 22. But the mechanism proved unnecessary as the sides reached a deal more than two weeks before the deadline.

Nick Kyrgios' girlfriend Costeen Hatzi gushes over the tennis star as he heads straight to the Wimbledon final: 'When you have the right people around you, anything is possible'
Nick Kyrgios' girlfriend Costeen Hatzi says she 'can't wait' to see the Australian tennis star play his first grand slam final at Wimbledon this Sunday.
The world No. 40 was handed a free pass to the men's Wimbledon final after Rafael Nadal was forced to withdraw from the pair's scheduled semi-final blockbuster with an abdominal tear.
Ms Hatzi, 21, who has watched every one of Kyrgios' games since the Australian Open, said it was amazing to see what the 27-year-old could accomplish 'with the right people' supporting him.
Nick Kyrgios' girlfriend Costeen Hatzi says she 'can't wait' to see the Australian tennis star play his first grand slam final at Wimbledon this Sunday
The university graduate shared a photo to Instagram of the couple kissing courtside, and wrote: 'Finals of Wimbledon. This is insane.
'I love you and we all can't wait to see you out there with all our support.
'When you have the right people around you, anything is possible.'
Kyrgios shared his girlfriend's post on his own Instagram, and added: 'My baby, what a ride it's been. Why not one more? I love you.'
Ms Hatzi, who has watched every one of Kyrgios' games since the Australian Open, said it was amazing to see what the 27-year-old could accomplish 'with the right people' supporting him
Kyrgios shared his girlfriend's post on his own Instagram, and added: 'My baby, what a ride it's been. Why not one more? I love you.'
It comes after eagle-eyed tennis fans noticed the VIP pass Ms Hatzi was wearing to Wimbledon listed her as a 'player's trainer'.
This detail rankled Kyrgios' many critics because Ms Hatzi, an aspiring social media influencer, is not a qualified trainer and has never played at a professional level.
Of course, while she is not a trainer in a traditional sense, there is no doubt Ms Hatzi is playing a crucial role in her boyfriend's career at the moment.
Kyrgios himself has credited her with helping him stay focused on his game, calling her his 'greatest blessing', and insiders say she has been instrumental in turning his life around after a tumultuous few years.
Kyrgios was handed a free pass to the men's Wimbledon final after Rafael Nadal was forced to withdraw from the pair's scheduled semi-final blockbuster with an abdominal tear
On a day of high drama at the All England Club, Nadal made the crushing decision to pull out on Thursday after being unable to serve properly during a practice session
Kyrgios has become the first Australian to reach the men's Wimbledon final in 19 years after Nadal's withdrawal from the competition due to injury.
On a day of high drama at the All England Club, Nadal made the crushing decision to pull out on Thursday after being unable to serve properly during a practice session.
The great Spaniard was nine wins away from becoming the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to complete a calendar-year grand slam after adding a 14th French Open crown last month to his epic Australian Open final triumph over Daniil Medvedev in January.
Nadal said he'd carried the stomach muscle injury throughout the first week of the championships before aggravating it during his five-set quarter-final comeback win over American Taylor Fritz.
'As everybody saw yesterday, I have been suffering with the pain in abdominal. I know something was not okay there, as yesterday I said,' Nadal said at a packed news conference on Thursday night.
It comes after eagle-eyed tennis fans noticed the VIP pass Ms Hatzi, 21, was wearing to Wimbledon listed her as a 'player's trainer'
A closer looked at the VIP pass around her neck revealed she wasn't simply a plus-one for the polarising Australian, but was in fact listed as his 'trainer'
'That's confirmed. I have a tear in the muscle in the abdominal. The communication is too late because even like that I was thinking during the whole day about the decision to make.
'But I think it's doesn't make sense to go (on). Even if I tried lot of times during my career to keep going under very tough circumstances, in this one I think it's obvious that if I keep going, the injury going to be worse and worse.
'That's the thing that I can say now. Feel very sad to say that.'
After agonising about the call, the 22-times grand slam champion said he finally decided to pull out after accepting he had no hope of winning the Wimbledon title for a third time.
'I believe that I can't win two matches under these circumstances,' said Nadal, who reigned at SW19 in 2008 and 2010.
'I can't serve. Is not only that I can't serve at the right speed, it's that I can't do the normal movement to serve.
'I have to say that, (I cannot) imagine myself winning two matches and, for respect to myself in some way, I don't want to go out there, not be competitive enough to play at the level that I need to play to achieve my goal.'
The setback comes after Nadal only made it to the Wimbledon start line at the last minute after overcoming a chronic foot injury that made his latest Roland Garros triumph even more incredible.
While she is not a trainer in a traditional sense, there is no doubt Ms Hatzi is playing a crucial role in her boyfriend's career at the moment
'As I always said, for me the most important thing is happiness more than any title, even if everybody knows how much effort I put to be here,' he said.
'But I can't risk that match and stay two, three months outside of the competition because that's going to be a tough thing for me.'
Nadal's withdrawal leaves Kyrgios a win away from capturing an elusive first grand slam final in what will be the 27-year-old's maiden major final.
Tennis's most exciting and unfulfilled talent will face either three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic or British ninth seed Cameron Norrie in Sunday's title match.
Kyrgios himself has credited her with helping him stay focused on his game, calling her his 'greatest blessing', and insiders say she has been instrumental in turning his life around
They clash on Friday in what would have been the curtain-raiser for the Kyrgios-Nadal match that the Australian had predicted would be the 'most watched match ever'.
Kyrgios has won his only two previous encounters with Djokovic, both in straight sets on hard courts in 2017 at Indian Wells and Acapulco.
But he trails Norrie 2-1 head to head, having lost twice to the Brit in Atlanta, in 2018 and last year, and beaten him at the ATP Cup in Australia in 2020.
Mark Philippoussis was the last Australian to make the men's Wimbledon final, losing to Roger Federer in 2003 in what was the Swiss maestro's first of 20 grand slam successes.
Meanwhile, Kyrgios says he wants to tell his side of the story after being summonsed to face a Canberra court over an assault allegation.
Instead the grand slam contender has let his racquet do the talking after being instructed by lawyers to bite his tongue.
Kyrgios is required in the ACT Magistrates Court on August 2 to potentially face a common assault charge amid reports he grabbed his former girlfriend Chiara Passari in an incident before Christmas last year.
'Obviously, I have a lot of thoughts, a lot of things I want to say, kind of my side about it,' Kyrgios said after overcoming his off-court concerns to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time on Wednesday.

'Obviously, I've been advised by my lawyers that I'm unable to say anything at this time.
'Look, I understand everyone wants to kind of ask about it and all that, but I can't give you too much on that right now.'
Former girlfriend Ajla Tomljanovic earlier on Wednesday said she'd never endured any domestic violence during her two-year relationship with Kyrgios.
Somewhat taken aback, Tomljanovic said she wasn't aware of Kyrgios's 'past relationship and the allegations' when quizzed about her time with him between from 2015 to 2017.
'It's been a while since our relationship ended,' the 29-year-old said following her disappointing 4-6 6-2 6-3 Wimbledon quarter-final loss to Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina.
'Obviously, I've always kept my relationship very private. I would like to keep it like that. I'm definitely against domestic violence. I hope it gets resolved.
'But, yeah, I mean, I haven't had that experience with him.'

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has reportedly shown keen interest in the Chinese FC-31 stealth fighter, global news sites have reported.
The Chinese arms industry showcased a wide range of advanced weapons and equipment, including the FC-31 stealth fighter plane, at the first edition of the World Defense Exhibition that was held in Saudi Arabia in Riyadh last March.
Analysts said that China offered Saudi Arabia the Chinese FC-31 stealth fighters with the transfer of technology and the establishment of factories to produce them locally.
There is also talk of massive air defense deals between China and Saudi Arabia that may include advanced HQ 17 systems.
Eight Chinese companies presented their equipment at the four-day exhibition, including the LY-80 air defense system, the SR5 multiple launch missile system, the JY-27A air warning radar, the Y-9E transport plane, the electronic warfare defense system, the unmanned multipurpose boat and multiple UAVs. Species such as Wing Loong-2, CH-5 and WJ-700, Xinhua News Agency reported.
The state-owned Aerospace Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) also announced in a social media post that the FC-31 stealth fighter aircraft is one of the high-quality products also displayed at the fair.
The FC-31 is AVIC's iconic product and the company has dedicated a unit to promoting and exporting the aircraft abroad, according to the report.
Experts told the Global Times that the Chinese weapons are technically mature, highly cost-effective, and come with complete after-sales services with few political restrictions, making them a good choice in the international arms market.
Experts said that China can transfer technology and help build assembly lines in the customer's country on demand, which will not only create local jobs, but also enhance the customer's independent industrial capabilities in general.
These unprecedented Chinese moves in the Persian Gulf region come at a time when differences between the United States and its Gulf allies such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia, especially on a range of issues, including relations with Iran, the war in Ukraine, cast a shadow over the sale of the F-35 and even the problem of the qualitative supremacy of Israel Beijing sees an opportunity to offer its FC-31 stealth aircraft to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, without conditions. | https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/china-offers-its-most-powerful-stealth-aircraft-to-saudi-arabia-with-technology-transfer.746311/ | 2022-07-07T21:32:29Z | https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/china-offers-its-most-powerful-stealth-aircraft-to-saudi-arabia-with-technology-transfer.746311/ | false | 1 |

Lead rating authority once again affirms Sentry's highest rating for ability to meet ongoing insurance obligations
STEVENS POINT, Wis., July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After concluding its annual review, AM Best, the insurance industry's leading rating authority, affirmed Sentry's A+ (superior) rating for a 31st consecutive year*. The rating confirms the mutual insurance group's financial strength and superior ability to pay its customers' claims now and in the future.
"Receiving this rating each year since 1992 is a reminder of our company's transformation during the 1990s and 2000s," said Pete McPartland, Sentry Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO. "I'm grateful to our associates—and retirees—for putting us in the strong position we're currently benefitting from. It was their loyalty, caring, and strong work ethic that got us here and created the Sentry we are today—one of the best capitalized companies in the insurance industry."
While the ever-changing landscape of COVID-19 presented new challenges for Sentry, the company's proactive approach, including significant investments in technology, helped meld its traditional business model with the best data and analytics currently available. This created a better overall experience for customers and associates. As a result, 2021 was the strongest financial year in the company's modern history.
Fewer than 10 percent of U.S.-based property and casualty insurance companies earn the A+ rating—even less have achieved it for three straight decades. The designation speaks to the financial strength and soundness of Sentry as a company.
"Financially, we're an even stronger company than we were before the pandemic," said Todd Schroeder, Sentry Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer. "We're outpacing the industry in growth and are well-positioned to withstand industry and economic headwinds. Our financial strength is a testament to how we operate and means our customers can continue to rely on us when they need us most."
In support of its A+ (superior) rating, AM Best points to Sentry's balance sheet strength, which achieves the rating authority's highest ranking of "strongest" for risk-adjusted capitalization. AM Best also recognizes Sentry's strong market position as one of the leading commercial casualty writers in the United States, its well-diversified business mix, and strong management team with a successful track record of executing strategy.
Sentry Insurance is a part of one of the largest and most financially secure mutual insurance groups in the United States, holding a Financial Strength Rating of A+ (superior) from AM Best, current as of June 2022. See ambest.com/ratings/guide.pdf for rating information. Sentry and its subsidiaries sell property and casualty insurance, life insurance, annuities, and retirement programs for business and individuals throughout the country. Headquartered in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Sentry employs more than 4,300 associates across the country. See a complete list of underwriting companies at sentry.com.

Just days after the end of Pride month, one of the first all-queer reality shows has announced that it’s wrapped filming on its second season. Variety revealed that Netflix’s The Ultimatum was now in post-production on what will prove to be a groundbreaking followup to the much talked about debut season. The first installment of the will-they-won’t-they show followed six couples on the verge of a relationship-altering decision: will they get married or will they call it splitskies and move on.
Hosted by real-life celebrity couple, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey, the show takes audiences on an eight-week discovery journey with the couples. Throughout the social experiment, the contestants get to know one another, often talking about their relationship issues and hangups. A few weeks in, the couples are split up and must pick who out of the group they want to further connect and move in with for three weeks. By the end, some couples will split, others will get engaged, and some will be married.
While last season, The Ultimatum only featured heterosexual pairings, this year they’re bringing on a cast made up entirely of queer contestants, most of whom identify as female. This is a really exciting step for the future of reality shows and the queer community as a whole. For the most part, dating shows like to follow the formula of a female and male relationship. While the community has had representation in previous years with inclusivity happening on series like MTV’s Are You The One? and Ex On the Beach and even (throwback!) the ever problematic A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila (a classic if you ask me), the numbers of queer vs. straight based reality dating shows are stacked in the latter’s favor. And while networks and streamers like MTV and Netflix are getting it right and progressing, shows like The Bachelor feel like they’ll forever be lost in a heterosexual norm.
The hope of pressing forward and bringing more LGBTQ+ love and heartbreak stories to the forefront is something that the executive producer and CEO of Kinetic Content, Chris Coelen is all about. Coelen works as an executive producer for not only The Ultimatum, but also Love is Blind and Married at First Sight, and spoke to his excitement behind getting the second queer-only season out there. Of the new installment, he said:
“To me, the opportunity to tell lots of stories from lots of different people is really exciting and it’s less so about the particular format that we tell those stories in and more about the fact that we’re telling those stories.”
We know that inclusivity matters, and it’s amazing that the folks behind The Ultimatum recognize that as well. As of right now, no release date has been set for the show’s upcoming Season 2, but stay tuned to Collider for more information as it becomes available. | https://collider.com/the-ultimatum-netflix-season-2-filming-wrap-queer-contestants/ | 2022-07-07T21:43:09Z | https://collider.com/the-ultimatum-netflix-season-2-filming-wrap-queer-contestants/ | false | 1 |
