In the opinion of FX Strategists at UOB Group Lee Sue Ann and Quek Ser Leang, GBP/USD seems to have now moved into a consolidative phase.
Key Quotes
24-hour view: “We highlighted yesterday that ‘the rebound amidst oversold conditions suggest that the weakness in GBP has stabilized’. We added, ‘GBP is unlikely to weaken further’ and we expected GBP to ‘trade between 1.1870 and 1.1980’. However, GBP soared to a high of 1.2030 before closing on a firm note at 1.2027 (+0.88%). While the rapid rise appears to be running ahead of itself, GBP could advance to 1.2065 first before a pullback is likely. GBP is unlikely to challenge the next resistance at 1.2130. Support is at 1.1985 followed by 1.1940.”
Next 1-3 weeks: “We turned negative in GBP last Wednesday (29 Jun, spot at 1.2185). After declining for more than a week, GBP rebounded strongly yesterday (07 Jul) as it rose to a high of 1.2030. While our ‘strong resistance’ level at 1.2030 was not clearly breached (NY high of 1.2030), downward pressure has more or less dissipated. In other words, the GBP weakness has run its course. The current movement is likely the early stages of a consolidation phase and GBP is likely to trade between 1.1900 and 1.2165 for now.”

HONOLULU (AP) — More than 500 years ago, Hawaiians placed four boulders on a Waikiki beach to honor visitors from the court of Tahiti’s king who had healed the sick. They were “mahu,” which in Hawaiian language and culture refers to someone with dual male and female spirit and a mixture of gender traits.
The stones were neglected for many years, as Christian missionaries and other colonizing Westerners suppressed the role of mahu in Hawaiian society. At one point a bowling alley was built over the boulders.
Officials restored the stones multiple times since the 1960s but informational plaques installed next to them omitted references to mahu.
The stones and the history of the four healers now are featured in an exhibit at Bishop Museum in Honolulu. The display highlights the deep roots of gender fluidity in Polynesia.
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu is mahu and one of the exhibit’s curators. She said the healers were revered for their skill and hopes their story will show children in Hawaii that “proper Hawaiian culture” doesn’t pass judgment against those “who have elements of duality.”
“They were respected and honored because the people knew that their male and female duality made them even more powerful a healer,” Wong-Kalu said.
Kapaemahu was the leader of the four healers, and the exhibit is named The Healer Stones of Kapaemahu. Their story was passed down orally, like all Hawaiian stories, until a written language was developed in the 1800s.
But Hawaiians were discouraged from talking about mahu. DeSoto Brown, a Bishop Museum historian and the exhibit’s lead curator, said Christian missionaries who arrived in 1820 forbade anything that deviated from “clearly defined roles and presentation” of male and female genders.
The earliest known written account of the mahu healers is a 1906 manuscript by James Alapuna Harbottle Boyd, the son-in-law of Archibald Cleghorn, who owned the Waikiki property where the stones were at the time. Cleghorn’s wife, Princess Likelike, and daughter, Princess Kaiulani, were known to place seaweed and offer prayers at the stones when they swam.
Boyd’s manuscript “Tradition of the Wizard Stones of Ka-Pae-Mahu” said the Hawaiian people loved the healers for their “tall stature, courteous ways and kindly manners” and their cures became famous across Oahu.
“Their ways and great physique were overshadowed by their low, soft speech, and they became as one with those they came in contact with,” Boyd wrote. “They were unsexed, by nature, and their habits coincided with their womanly seeming, although manly in stature and general bearing.”
When it was time for the healers to leave, four boulders were brought down from Oahu’s Kaimuki area. Two were placed at the site of the healers’ hut and the others where they bathed in the ocean. Idols indicating the dual spirit of the healers were placed under each stone.
Many Hawaiians grew up not knowing about Hawaiian concepts of mahu or the stones because the American businessmen who overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 banned Hawaiian language instruction in schools and discouraged speaking it in homes. Generations of Hawaiians lost connections to cultural traditions.
Wong-Kalu, 50, said as a child she was made to believe mahu was a derogatory word. She remembers being among those who would sit on the stones and drape towels over them after swimming, oblivious to their significance.
Mahu are akin to “two-spirit” common in many Native American cultures, Wong-Kalu said, adding there are physical, emotional, mental and spiritual elements to being mahu. The representation of male and female depends on the person, she said.
“In Hawaii, one could exist really in the middle,” she said.
The stones nearly were lost just before the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. At the time, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin reported the boulders would be blasted or removed after a developer leased Cleghorn’s property to build a bowling alley.
Following an outcry, plans emerged for a concrete walkway between the stones. But the developer instead built over them.
The stones were uncovered two decades later when the city tore down buildings to build a public beach park. Elders recalled the story of the stones and urged they remain. The city agreed and created a plaque that mentioned the Tahitian healers but didn’t say anything about them being mahu.
In 1997, the city fenced off the stones and dedicated a new plaque. It also didn’t reference mahu.
During both periods, waves of homophobia and transphobia washed over Honolulu. In the 1960s, a new state law prohibited cross-dressing and police forced drag performers to wear a button saying: “I Am A Boy.” Three decades later, there was backlash in Hawaii and nationally when the Hawaii Supreme Court sided with same-sex couples seeking the right to marry.
The Bishop Museum exhibit, on display through Oct. 16, recounts this history and displays artifacts like massage sticks and a medicine pounder that healers would have used centuries ago. Islander concepts of gender fluidity are explored through stories like that of King Kamehameha III and his male lover.
A map shows terms used in Polynesia for those who don’t identify as male or female, including “fa’afafine” in Samoa and “leiti” in Tonga.
Dean Hamer and Joe Wilson helped curate the exhibit and hope it will spur the city to tell the full story of the mahu at the site of the stones.
Ian Scheuring, spokesperson for Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi, said the city is researching the issue and local leaders plan to meet with members of the LGBTQ and Native Hawaiian communities to learn how they can help tell the “true and complete” story of the healers.
Tatiana Kalaniopua Young, a Native Hawaiian anthropologist, mahu and a director of the Hawaii LGBT Legacy Foundation, said the story the stones and healers helped her family understand that she was not “this weird creature that's outside of the norm." And that in a Hawaiian sense, she was part of the norm.
“It gave me a sense of place and purpose as a mahu and it really made me proud to be Kanaka Maoli, or Native Hawaiian,” she said.

Karl L. Olsen, 81, of Vernon, passed away peacefully at home with his family on Friday, July 1, 2022. He was born in New York City to the late Kathryn (Kuchinic) and Aage Olsen. He moved to Vernon 40 years ago with his wife Mary to raise their family. After high school, he proudly served in the U.S. Armed Forces from 1958-1962.

Karl was a devoted husband and father. When his children were younger, you could find him on the sidelines of a baseball, basketball, soccer, or football game giving a big cheer or serving as coach. An avid sports fan, he enjoyed rooting for the NY Mets, NY Giants, and Villanova basketball. Until the end of his life, his passion remained following the stock market and making trades.
He is survived by his wife Mary (Lack), of Vernon, NJ; daughter Kathryn and her husband Robert Spychala, of Brooklyn, NY; and son Eric, of Vernon, NJ. He is also survived by three grandchildren: Julian, Harrison, and Wojtek Spychala. Karl was preceded in death by his parents Kathryn and Aage Olsen, brother John E.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Virginia has changed its quarantine guidelines for those exposed to COVID-19, moving away from federal health recommendations for people who had a confirmed case within the last six months.
In situations considered “non-high risk,” someone exposed to COVID-19 won’t be recommended to quarantine if they recovered from a positive case within the last six months or if they are up to date on their vaccines, the Virginia Department of Health announced Thursday.
Instead, the VDH suggests they follow isolation rules if they experience any symptoms. The recommendation change applies to the general public, including at K-12 schools and other early education settings.
“Note that this varies slightly from CDC guidance, which defines the post-infection immunity period as 90 days,” Colin Greene, the commissioner of the VDH, said in a statement.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not recommend people up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines to quarantine and if someone tested positive using a viral test within the last 90 days, which is half as long as what VDH is now suggesting.
“As COVID continues its progression from an acute pandemic to a more endemic state, we must continually reassess our recommendations to the public and our fellow agencies, considering not only potential disease effects, but also unintended non-clinical consequences of any restrictions,” Greene continued.
Greene pointed to CDC data suggesting that over 75% of children have had a previous infection and possess immunity and rates of immunity for adults, through vaccines or post-infection, “likely exceeds 90%.”
“Out of an abundance of caution, we will retain the 90-day standard for higher-risk situations, including healthcare workers, staff and residents of long-term care facilities, correctional facilities, and homeless shelters,” Greene, Virginia’s new chief public health official, added.
The guideline change won’t impact VDH’s case surveillance or case classification process for reporting cases to the CDC, according to Greene. Isolation recommendations for people with an active case or asymptotic positive test were not changed.
Virginia reported more than 2,500 new COVID-19 cases and two new deaths overnight, as concerns about a rise in case counts continue.
But a two-week blackout period that started on June 6 that VDH is attributing to the CDC National Center for Health Statistics not returning death certificates that are submitted by states has led to “fewer COVID-19-associated deaths” being added to the VDH dashboard.

Indian actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas spent a day out with daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas as the actress and her American pop-star husband Nick Jonas are on a trip to Lake Tahoe in the US.
She shared a picture of herself holding her daughter during a hike with her best friend. In the photograph, Priyanka has covered Malti’s face with a heart emoji.
She wrote alongside the picture: “22 years and counting… and now with our babies… love you @tam2cul.” She added the hashtags ‘best friend’, ‘Godson’, and ‘friends like family’ to her post.
On January 22, Priyanka had announced that she and Nick are now parents.
“We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram statement at the time.

Which hiking first-aid kit is best?
A first-aid kit is important to have in your pack whether you’re going for a day hike or a weeklong backpacking trip. While you can’t prepare for everything, making sure you have the basics is important. If you want a first-aid kit that covers the basics and is simple to use, choose the Adventure Medical Kit.
What to know before you buy a hiking first-aid kit
Carry just enough to keep you safe. While you want to be prepared for anything, you don’t want to have to root through an overpacked medical kit.
You want something that covers the most likely injuries, such as cuts, scrapes and sprains. Beyond that, remove or add pieces appropriate for the setting in which you’re hiking. Pack calamine lotion if you’re hiking through areas that may have poison ivy or are prone to mosquitoes or flies that bite.
More is not necessarily better
A common mistake inexperienced hikers make when choosing a first-aid kit is picking one that’s stocked beyond their needs. If you plan to day hike by yourself, a 96-piece medical kit is just going to be in the way. Having more pieces will not keep you safer.
Make sure you know how to use your kit
Even if you have all the right tools, take the time to learn how to use the items in the medical kit. Pick a first-aid kit that is appropriate for your needs and simple enough that you can master using it. Get comfortable and confident using your kit before an injury happens.
Size
Make sure it’s the right size. If it’s too large to fit in an accessible pocket of your hiking backpack, it’s too large to bring.
What to look for in a quality hiking first-aid kit
Covers the basics
You can’t prepare for everything, but you can prepare for the most likely scenarios. Make sure your kit is prepared for these blisters, sprains, cuts, hypothermia, sunburn, bug bites and dehydration.
That may seem like a lot, but any good kit has items to treat most of those. You may want to add rehydration salts for dehydration or a packable space blanket for hypothermia, but most kits include basic remedies for the rest of the list.
Good organization
While hiking medical kits tend to come well organized, make sure your kit is organized in a way that makes sense to you and your needs. A kit that can unzip fully so you can see everything at once is crucial. Always put the kit in the same place in your backpack to take out any guesswork.
Protection
Make sure your first-aid kit is in a durable bag that protects its contents from the elements. If you’re worried about the waterproofing, throwing it in a plastic zip bag will protect your kit.
How much you can expect to spend on a hiking first-aid kit
There are a wide range of prices for medical kits depending on size and complexity. You may spend as little as $15 or as much as $200, but $25-50 tends to get you a good one.
Hiking first-aid kit FAQ
How do you learn to use a first-aid kit?
A. In an ideal world, you would take a Wilderness First Responder class before heading onto the trail. While a WFR class is an awesome tool, it’s not practical for most people. Look for free videos that show you the basics of backcountry safety and how to use a medical kit if you don’t have the time or resources for a full class. Many hospitals also offer first-aid classes.
What is the best brand of hiking first-aid kit?
A. There are several good options for backcountry first-aid, but Adventure Medical Kits tend to be the most popular, and for good reason.

SKOPJE, North Macedonia (AP) — Nightly protests in North Macedonia over the past week have left dozens injured. At the heart of the turmoil is the small Balkan country’s long-running quest to join the European Union, a process that has faced one hurdle after the other.
The most recent obstacle is a veto by EU member Bulgaria. A French proposal for a compromise to address Bulgaria’s concerns has divided North Macedonia, sparking the sometimes violent protests. France's plan also met deep objections in Bulgaria and helped to bring down the government, which had accepted the compromise.
WHAT IS THE DISPUTE ABOUT?
North Macedonia has been an EU candidate for 17 years. The country emerged from the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s and sought to forge a strong national identity. But in a region where borders and ethnicities have shifted and overlapped over centuries, it was beset by problems from the start.
The country's chosen name, Macedonia, sparked outrage in neighboring Greece, which said the term harbored expansionist aims against its own province of the same name and was an attempt to usurp Greek history and culture. Athens held up Skopje’s EU and NATO membership bids for years, until a 2019 deal was reached that included the smaller country changing its name to North Macedonia.
But the following year, neighboring Bulgaria blocked the renamed nation's attempts to join the EU, accusing Skopje of disrespecting shared cultural and historic ties. Among Bulgaria’s key demands were acknowledgment that the language of North Macedonia derived from Bulgarian, and the recognition of a Bulgarian minority.
The size of the Bulgarian community in North Macedonia is a matter of contention. Official data from the 2021 census put it at 3,504 people, or about 0.2% of the population. Bulgaria has doubted the figure, noting that about 90,000 of North Macedonia's roughly 2 million population received dual Bulgarian citizenship over the last two decades based on their family roots. About 53,000 more applications are pending.
WHY DOES IT MATTER?
North Macedonia’s EU bid is tied to a similar bid by neighboring Albania. Both countries see joining the 27-nation bloc as a means of securing stability and prosperity in an increasingly unstable world. The EU prospects of the Western Balkan countries gained increased attention in the wake of the bloc’s efforts to bring Ukraine closer following the Russian invasion.
WHAT IS THE FRENCH PROPOSAL?
France held the rotating EU presidency between January and June and so has been deeply involved in negotiations to break the deadlock. EU leaders held a summit with Western Balkan nations last month, during the same week they made Ukraine and Moldova candidates for EU membership.
French President Emmanuel Macron hoped to present unblocking the EU bids of North Macedonia and Albania as a major success. On Thursday, the French Embassy in Skopje posted a message from Macron.
“Once again, North Macedonia has reached a crucial moment in its history. Seventeen years after receiving candidate status, a historic opportunity has opened: .... The choice is yours,” he said.
Macron’s proposal envisages concessions from both sides. The government in Skopje would commit to changing its constitution to recognize a Bulgarian minority, protect minority rights and banish hate speech.
The French leader stressed the proposal doesn’t question the official existence of a Macedonian language, but he noted that, like all deals, it “rests on compromises and on a balance.”
HOW WAS THE PROPOSAL RECEIVED?
The compromises in the French proposal led to rifts in both countries.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov’s centrist government was toppled in a no-confidence vote on June 22. A junior governing partner quit the fragile four-party coalition, describing Petkov’s willingness to lift the veto of North Macedonia as a “national betrayal.” An early election could result in a stronger presence in parliament of nationalist and pro-Russia lawmakers.
The National Assembly already has approved the proposal, but legislators set additional conditions for agreeing to North Macedonia's EU membership. They included proper constitutional protection for Bulgarians living in North Macedonia, and no assumption that Bulgaria would recognize Macedonian as a separate language from Bulgarian.
In North Macedonia, both President Stevo Pendarovski and the government of Prime Minister Dimitar Kovacevsk backed the proposal as a reasonable compromise. Accepting it “will be neither a historic triumph, as one camp would call it, nor a historic failure or debacle, as those in the other camp say,” Pendarovski said.
The government has stressed the proposal does not endanger national interests or identity. But the center-right main opposition party, the VMRO-DPMNE, as well as others, disagree, saying the deal favors Bulgarian demands that question North Macedonia's history, language, identity, culture and heritage.
Biljana Vankovska, a law professor at the Saint Cyril and Methodius University's Institute for Security, Defense and Peace, slammed the French proposal as bowing to “the nationalistic and chauvinistic demands of Bulgaria.”
“It is unbelievable that a small nation was asked to give up its language, history and constitution-making powers to external powers in order to start the EU accession process,” she said.
Political analyst Albert Musliu, head of the Association for Democratic Initiatives think tank, argued the proposal offers North Macedonia a chance to start membership talks with the EU.
“If you ask me whether it is fair, then yes, the proposal is unfair, but international order is not based on fairness,” he said.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Bulgaria has accepted the French proposal, which now requires the backing of North Macedonia’s parliament. The text is now at committee level in parliament. No plenary session has been scheduled.

What Did Jill Biden Say to Joe to Make His Face Look Like This? 4 Photos Go Viral on Twitter
When a series of photos of the president and first lady are trending on Twitter along with the words “elder abuse,” things aren’t exactly going as planned.
That can be said for so much of the recent happenings in President Joe Biden’s administration, mind you.
However, the puzzling sequence of photos — taken just before the president left to give a speech in Cleveland — called into question the president’s mental fitness yet again.
(Here at The Western Journal, we’ve been documenting Biden’s apparent cognitive decline since he began running for the nation’s highest office — and why it meant he couldn’t be trusted to handle the most powerful job in the world. We’ll continue to bring America the uncomfortable truth about the president. You can help us by subscribing.)
The photos were taken by Associated Press photographer Patrick Semansky, according to the AP’s website.
“President Joe Biden speaks with first lady Jill Biden before boarding Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House, Wednesday, July 6, 2022, in Washington,” the website’s description reads. “Biden is traveling to Cleveland to announce a new rule that will allow major new financial support for troubled pensions that cover some 2 million to 3 million workers.”
Yes, but those pensions aren’t exactly going to be the headline here.
In the first photo, Biden appears to be talking with his wife in a raised voice, judging by his expression.
In the next, his head is drooped slightly and he’s squinting.
The third photo, however, is what will get the most attention: Biden’s head hangs low, his face fixed in a childish frown.
In the final photo, a still-squinting Biden walks away.
GOP rapid response team member Jake Schneider tweeted it out as a “story in four parts.”

I’m guessing Jill had to break it to him that the ice cream parlor was out of chocolate chocolate chip.
Photographs, of course, can catch anyone in an awkward moment. The problem is that this is the same man who, just last month, needed this note card to get through a White House meeting:
Next time someone tries to tell you Joe Biden isn’t a geriatric nursing home patient trapped in the White House, show them this.
He needs a notecard with step by step directions telling him what to do, including “YOU take YOUR seat”.

And thusly did “elder abuse” begin to trend on Twitter on Wednesday:

It’s a harsh term, but a harsher reality: The president of the United States has thrown up enough red flags to indicate he doesn’t have the mental capacity or stamina to carry out his responsibilities.
This isn’t just a matter of the diminishing returns of old age, something that has crept up on many a president.
The chief executive’s behavior has led to a situation where he can uncharitably — but still reasonably — be characterized by his opponents, both foreign and domestic, as little more than a puppet too far gone to notice who’s pulling the strings.
One of those people, it appears, is his wife — someone who lacks any political experience but is often seen leading her senescent husband around like he was a sleepwalker in his pajamas.
Jill Biden just told Joe “Just sit”
They’re treating him like a dog.
— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) April 18, 2022
Wednesday’s photos of the first couple aren’t dispositive of any of this, obviously. However, at a time when America desperately needs a fighter, Joe Biden looks like he needs a hug and a nap.
In 2024, it’s time to put the lying dog-faced pony soldier out to pasture for good.

Neuroimaging is a discipline that deals with the in vivo depiction of the structure, function and pharmacology of the central nervous system (CNS), particularly our brain, in a noninvasive manner.1, 2 The past two decades have witnessed remarkable strides in the development of new anatomical and functional imaging techniques that can shed light on many critical aspects of human brain function with respect to cognition, learning and memory. In addition to studying how the brain works and how various activities impact the brain, neuroimaging has become a powerful tool for diagnosing diseases and evaluating brain health. In this article, we will cover the basics and applications of various traditional, as well as emerging neuroimaging techniques, considering their strengths and limitations, and discuss the prospects, challenges, risks and ethics concerned with this rapidly expanding field. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2657601604882/human-organs-on-chips-for-disease-modeling-drug-development-and-personalized-medicine | 2022-07-08T07:33:56Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2657601604882/human-organs-on-chips-for-disease-modeling-drug-development-and-personalized-medicine | false | null |

Her hair has been key to her look ever since. But it’s not just her chic cut that Huston is known for. An Oscar-winning actress (past hits include The Addams Family and The Royal Tenenbaums), as well as a director, producer, and author, the ’70s icon also famously dated Jack Nicholson on and off for 17 years before the couple finally called it quits in 1990.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ESPN) — Memphis Grizzlies guard John Konchar — once armed with a single scholarship offer and ultimately undrafted out of Purdue Fort Wayne — has agreed to a three-year, $19 million contract extension, his agent, George Langberg, told ESPN on Thursday.
The extension takes Konchar, who has two seasons left on his contract, through the 2026-27 season.
One of the league’s top recent development stories, Konchar, 26, will see his career earnings climb to $30 million with his new deal. He’s transformed himself into one of the indispensable rotation players on a Grizzlies roster that had the league’s second-best regular-season record.
Konchar shot 41% on 3-pointers, and 51% overall, in a career-best 18 minutes a game last season. After arriving undrafted in 2019 out of the Summit League, Konchar started with the Memphis Hustle of the G League before finding his way onto the Grizzlies.
Konchar played 72 games for the Grizzlies a season ago, averaging career highs in points, assists and minutes. He shot 44.8% on 3-pointers off the bench, third-best among players with a minimum of 100 attempts, according to ESPN Stats and Information research.
Konchar and Desmond Bane were the only two Grizzlies who shot 40% on 3-pointers while attempting at least 100 of them. | https://wreg.com/sports/report-konchar-agrees-to-3-year-19m-extension/ | 2022-07-08T07:53:31Z | https://wreg.com/sports/report-konchar-agrees-to-3-year-19m-extension/ | false | 1 |
Megan Fox and MGK have tried “all forms of therapy” since the musician’s suicide attempt
Megan Fox has revealed that she and her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly, have tried “every form of therapy there is” ever since the musician almost tried to take his own life.
In his new Hulu documentary, Life in PinkKelly spoke about a night in July 2020 when she put a gun to her mouth while on the phone with Fox.
On Tuesday, June 28, at the premiere of the documentary, Fox was asked about how she has supported Kelly to overcome the difficult time she was going through.
“We have done all the forms of therapy that exist,” the actress told Entertainment Tonight. “We found a therapist who really works for us, [como] as a couple and individually, and it’s definitely a process, it’s not easy.
“Some of it is very difficult, but our therapist said that a relationship is basically the process of breaking each other down, but most people don’t have the tools to build each other up, to rebuild.”
Fox continued: “So, it’s a constant process of suffering and passion and love and repeating cycles. So, we’re just learning that, and going through that, doing it together. There’s a lot of all of those things all the time.”
In the documentary, Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, explains that he was having depressing thoughts while dealing with the loss of his father when he nearly attempted suicide.
“I wouldn’t leave my room and I started to get very, very, very depressed. Megan went to Bulgaria to shoot a movie and I started to get really crazy paranoid. I kept feeling paranoid that someone was going to come and kill me,” the 32-year-old musician recalled in the new documentary about his life, according to Page Six.
Kelly added that he always slept with a shotgun next to his bed and “just blew up” that day.
“I called Megan. I was like, ‘You’re not here for me. I’m in my room and I’m getting crazy with her. Dude, I put the shotgun in my mouth. And I’m yelling into the phone and the barrel is in my mouth. And I’m going to cock the shotgun and the bullet, when it comes back up, the cartridge jams. Megan is completely silent, ”she recounted.

MADRID (AP) — A Spanish foundation recognized four scientists Wednesday for their pioneering work in artificial intelligence.
The four were named recipients of the 2022 Princess of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research.
The foundation that gives out the Princess of Asturias Awards honored Geoffrey Hinton, Yann LeCun and Yoshua Bengio for the breakthrough of machine-based “deeping learning,” a process by which computers can start to learn automatically though complex algorithms.
Demis Hassabis, CEO and cofounder of DeepMind, a leading artificial intelligence company, was the fourth award recipient. DeepMind is owned by Google.
DeepMind’s AphaFold protein database, a joint-project with the European Bioinformatics Institute, has predicted with a high level of accuracy more than 350,000 human protein structures.
The Princess of Asturias jury said the work “represents a huge advance in techniques, ranging from voice recognition, the processing of natural language, (and) the perception of objects,” among others.
“The impact both now and in the future progress of society can be called extraordinary,” the jury said.
The 50,000-euro award ($53,600) is one of eight prizes covering the arts, communication, science and other areas that are handed out annually by the foundation.
The prizes are among the most prestigious in the Spanish-speaking world. The awards ceremony takes place each October in the northern Spanish city of Oviedo. | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/business/ap-business/ai-pioneers-honored-with-spains-princess-of-asturias-award/ | 2022-07-08T07:55:24Z | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/business/ap-business/ai-pioneers-honored-with-spains-princess-of-asturias-award/ | true | 33 |

Registration Now Open for Two-Day Educator Conferences This Summer
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) is launching a first-of-its-kind partnership to provide interactive professional development and support to educators across the state.
The partnership with Get Your Teach On (GYTO), an organization established by highly-acclaimed educators Hope and Wade King, will provide Indiana educators and administrators with free access to conferences, workshops and training sessions developed to ignite their passion for teaching and promote positive educational outcomes for students.
“Get Your Teach On has earned a national reputation for their work to elevate the educator profession, celebrate the good and important work that must happen within our schools, and focus on how we can keep improving for our students,” said Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana Secretary of Education. “We are thrilled to be the first state in the country to partner with Get Your Teach On and provide every Hoosier educator with an opportunity to learn, recharge and reflect on their purpose as difference-makers for our students.”
This is GYTO’s first partnership with a state to support free professional development workshops and trainings for educators. GYTO specializes in providing professional development experiences for educators supporting all grade ranges, incorporating the most current, research-based strategies to promote student engagement. Through this partnership, Indiana educators and administrators will spend time with the GYTO team learning best practices for building and retaining an engaging classroom environment.
Through a multi-tiered approach, conferences, workshops and training sessions for educators and administrators serving students in pre-K through grade eight will start this summer and will continue through the 2022-2023 and then 2023-2024 school years. Later this month, GYTO will host four free two-day mini educator conferences across the state with locations in Muncie, Brownsburg, Crown Point, and Columbus. In September, administrators will have the opportunity to attend one of four free one-day mini leadership conferences.
An additional opportunity for a select number of Indiana schools to receive intensive support throughout the school year through quarterly two-day in-school trainings will be announced soon. Conference registration and additional information can be found here. | https://www.thepilotnews.com/news/indiana-department-of-education-partnering-with-get-your-teach-on-to-support-celebrate-educators/article_f82e3c28-fdf6-11ec-9021-cb8b67558c4b.html | 2022-07-08T08:02:16Z | https://www.thepilotnews.com/news/indiana-department-of-education-partnering-with-get-your-teach-on-to-support-celebrate-educators/article_f82e3c28-fdf6-11ec-9021-cb8b67558c4b.html | true | 1 |
Eskom cannot solve this problem alone - Prof Tinyiko Maluleke
The National Planning Commission (NPC) says the 100 megawatts ceiling for private companies to produce their own electricity is a key obstacle in adding new generation and electricity storage capacity, and it should be removed.
On Wednesday, the NPC called for a declaration of an ‘energy emergency’ - to override any red tape currently preventing the construction of new electricity capacity. This would make it possible to build 10 000 megawatts of new generation and 5 000 megawatts of new storage capacity over the next two years.
Currently, South Africa is experiencing rolling power cuts, which has seen the country plunged into stage load shedding in recent weeks.
Speaking to Bongani Bingwa, deputy chairperson of the commission - Professor Tinyiko Maluleke said Eskom cannot solve this problem alone and should allow everyone to contribute to the power grid.
Declaring this crisis an emergency would afford the state to act swiftly, to be able to set aside red tape and make sure that what needs to be done is done swiftly and efficiently to end load shedding.
Professor Tinyiko Maluleke, deputy chairperson - National Planning Commission
There is a technical engineering side to the problem we have. But I don't think even Eskom is expected to solve this by itself that's why Eskom needs assistance with additional capacity.
Professor Tinyiko Maluleke, deputy chairperson - National Planning Commission

Over the course of his career, Joe Budden had beef with a few rappers such as The Game, 50 Cent, Migos, Raekwon, and Method Man. But now we’re learning that the Ticallion Stallion was contemplating actually duffing out Jumpoff Joey for talking sideways about him.
In a recent interview for Math Hoffa’s podcast, Method Man recalled the 2009 beef between him and Joe which steamed from Joe questioning Method Man’s ranking on Vibe‘s best rappers of all-time list. Though Raekwon’s peoples actually roughed up Budden in San Bernardino, Calif. over his Wu-Tang slander, Method says he too was ready to put that work in on the “Pump It Up” rapper before that went down. Luckily for Budden (at the moment anyway), he and Method talked things out and cooler heads prevailed.
“Me and Joe, after that whole sh*t happened, ’cause they disappeared. Smart. Good. You should. I would have done the same sh*t. I go to walk back toward the van like, ‘Joe, I wanna talk to you. Where you at? Okay, I’ll go over here.’ We walk over there, we go behind the van. Now Joe, you don’t know this, but the whole time you were talking, I was gonna snuff you, but the reason why I didn’t, in that moment, was ’cause you said some real sh*t. Now, I don’t know exactly what it was word for word and sh*t, but it was definitely something that made me think in that moment, ‘Joe’s a very smart muthaf*cka. Chess, not checkers.’”
Meth reveals that it got to the point where he was actually giving Joe his flowers saying “You a talented muthaf*cka. You don’t need to go this route.”
Damn, now we’re wondering what Budden said to actually get Meth’s guard down and show him love like that. Still, Joe went on to throw darts at Wu-Tang Clan members even after the heart-to-heart with Method much to his surprise as Tical warned him not to keep on with the shenanigans.
“I don’t know if he acknowledged that sh*t now that I think about it. I don’t think he did, because later on that day he said something, he did some kind of interview or some sh*t like that, or some freestyle or something. He named Deck and he named Rae, and this is what happened.”
Joe got snuffed out by a Wu-Tang member while doing his livestream as a result.
Meth feels Joe just didn’t know how real things could get with that old-school block roasting ways adding, “I think he came from that environment where that’s what ni**as did, but it was never taken to a point where somebody put hands on somebody. You know how ni**as talk amongst each other and shit – ‘F*ck you, bi*ch ass ni**a.’ In a different kind of setting though, fighting words, period. Joe, like I said, he’s just a smart muthaf*cka and that shit could have been so avoided, ’cause I spoke to him, me and him spoke. He knows this sh*t.”
Well, if he ain’t know, now he knows.
Check out the interview below and let us know your thoughts on the situation.

Western Countries Criticized Russia At G20 Meeting Instead Of Discussing Economy - Lavrov
Mohammad Ali (@ChaudhryMAli88) Published July 08, 2022 | 11:50 AM
DENPASAR (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 08th July, 2022) The Western countries have criticized Russia instead of discussing economic issues at the G20 ministerial meeting in Bali, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday.
"During the discussion, the Western partners avoided to follow the mandate of the Group of Twenty to address the global economy issues, and to reach agreements to find solutions related to sustainable development within the UN, and lost their train of thought once they started to criticize Russia amid the situation in Ukraine," Lavrov told reporters.
The foreign minister went on to say that Russia raised several "hard-hitting questions" before the Western partners, but did not receive any answers.
"They have no answers to these questions, there is only blatant russophobia, which they substitute for the necessity to negotiate key problems in the global economy and finance," he added.
The G20 foreign ministers' meeting is being held in Bali, Indonesia, from July 7-8.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WOWK) — Gas prices continue to rise, and that means more calls on the federal government to try to do something about it.
It is an election year, and this is a very unpopular issue, so there will be a bit of finger-pointing from both Congress and the White House.
The average price per gallon now tops $5 across the United States, and according to AAA, West Virginia saw the highest weekly spike in gas prices of any state in the nation at 28 cents per gallon.
While five states have suspended their gas taxes, efforts to do so in the Mountain State have failed.
Some people are now talking about suspending the federal gas tax, and many say increasing supply is the best answer.
“The first thing that we need to do is to get the president to start approving all the pipelines and energy development he possibly can and to stop the federal freeze on all the oil and gas projects that we have,” said Rep. Carol Miller, (R-WV).
But President Joe Biden insists the White House is working on supply saying, “We’ve got 240-thousand barrels as well coming from other nations, we’re going to keep pushing on it.”
Right now, many analysts in the nation’s capital doubt Congress and the White House would freeze the federal gas tax, which is at 18.4 cents per gallon. That will generate more than $20 billion dollars for road and highway maintenance from now until the end of 2022.
Now, instead of freezing gas taxes, some states such as California and Minnesota are talking about issuing hundreds of dollars in rebate checks to car owners to defray the high cost of gasoline. | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/us-and-world/gas-prices/federal-government-spars-over-solution-to-high-gas-prices/ | 2022-07-08T08:40:09Z | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/us-and-world/gas-prices/federal-government-spars-over-solution-to-high-gas-prices/ | true | 3 |
Illinois’ “red-flag” law could have stopped the suspect in the Independence Day parade shooting from buying a gun or at least delayed the purchase of the weapon he’s accused of using to kill seven people and wound dozens.
Police in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park were called twice to the home of Robert Crimo III in 2019 — once after he tried to commit suicide and again when he allegedly threatened to “kill everyone” in his family. On either occasion, they could have immediately exercised part of the law that allowed them to seek a restraining order to prevent Crimo from buying guns for anywhere from 14 days to six months.
Obtaining such a delay could have bought critical time for police to seek more information to ask a judge for a longer order preventing a gun purchase.
But Highland Park police did not seek such an order, and they were not required to do so. And just four months after the reported threat that prompted officers to seize 16 knives, a sword and a dagger from Crimo’s home, Illinois State Police approved him for a firearms permit. The agency explained the decision in part by saying that it didn’t consider him a “clear and present danger” because he didn’t consider himself such a danger.
“When police went to the home and asked the individual if he felt like harming himself or others, he responded no,” the state police said in a statement this week, adding “importantly” that Crimo’s father assured officers that the collection of knives seized from the home was his and would be stored safely.
That fateful decision in early 2020 to issue the then-19-year-old Crimo a firearms permit allowed him to legally purchase five guns, including the Smith & Wesson semi-automatic rifle authorities say he used from his rooftop perch to unleash more than 80 rounds on a Fourth of July parade below.
The episode highlights how, even in a state with some of the nation’s most restrictive gun laws, opportunities can be missed to keep weapons from dangerous and disturbed people. While the authorities who crossed paths with Crimo contend their hands were tied by the law, several people familiar with Illinois’ statutes told The Associated Press there were more than enough ways to block him from getting guns.
“Laws don’t mean much unless they’re followed,” said Sean Holihan, the state legislative director for Giffords, a gun safety advocacy group. “This fell through the cracks. The law was written to make sure this wouldn’t happen and it still did.”
Added Nicholas Suplina, senior vice president for law and policy at Everytown for Gun Safety: “Red-flag laws are designed for precisely this kind of situation. … It’s an important tool in the gun violence prevention toolbox. But you got to take the tool out and use it.”
A tool Highland Park police did make use of, they said, was the “clear and present danger” report filed with the state after their two visits to his home in 2019. Such reports are intended to alert state police to people who, if allowed to buy a gun, may pose an “imminent threat of substantial bodily harm to themselves or others.”
Highland Park police did not respond to requests for comment.
Crimo’s warning signs also included a voluminous and disturbing social media footprint that went back years and somehow escaped law enforcement scrutiny despite the fact that the aspiring rapper had thousands of followers on YouTube and songs on Spotify that collectively had millions of plays.
Stick-thin, dark-haired and heavily tattooed on his neck and face, Crimo went by the stage name Awake the Rapper and left a trail of clues in his videos of a fascination with violence, guns and suicide. One video titled “Toy Soldier” showed a cartoon figure brandishing a rifle on a city street, followed by drawings of a victim’s chest spurting blood and police cars closing in.
In online chat rooms that reveled in mass murder and gore, Crimo apparently also posted video of a beheading and grainy news footage of a politician’s infamous public suicide.
“Like a sleepwalker … I know what I have to do,” Crimo narrated in another rap video posted late last year. “Everything has led up to this. Nothing can stop me, even myself.”
“We were not made aware of these videos,” Christopher Covelli, deputy chief of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, told reporters.
For its part, Illinois State Police defended the issuance of a gun permit for Crimo, noting that Highland Park police had declined to arrest the teen after his alleged threat in September 2019 because they could not meet the legal hurdle of “probable cause.” To deny a gun permit, they said, requires an even higher legal standard — “preponderance of evidence” — that he is a clear and present danger.
State police also noted in a statement that even though an unidentified family member reported the threat and spoke of a fear of returning home, family members denied Crimo was dangerous and didn’t want to press charges.
“When police went to the house, both the individual and his mother disputed the threat of violence. The individual told police he did not feel like hurting himself or others and was offered mental health resources,” the statement said.
Several months before, in April 2019, Crimo attempted to commit suicide by machete, according to a police report obtained by AP that noted a “history of attempts.” Other police reports show officers had visited the Crimo home frequently over the years for domestic violence disputes and other incidents.
Several experts described Crimo as the epitome of a “clear and present danger,” defined under Illinois law as a person who “communicates a serious threat of physical violence” or “demonstrates threatening physical or verbal behavior.”
But others weren’t so sure, noting that police are limited in how much they can act when an accuser reporting violent threats doesn’t want to press charges and family members are uncooperative.
Even if an order had been issued, it’s not a given that a judge would have extended the order beyond six months.
Robert Berlin, state attorney for DuPage County, the most active issuer of red-flag orders in Illinois, said that the dozens of cases he’s overseen almost always include family members assisting investigators.
And while Berlin declined to comment on Highland Park police actions, he said that he couldn’t recall a red-flag order ever issued in his county against someone who was not already in possession of a gun and was aimed solely at blocking future purchases.
After receiving his permit in January 2020, Crimo passed four background checks when buying firearms that year and the next, the state police noted, adding that the only offense that surfaced in his criminal history was a 2016 ordinance violation for possession of tobacco.
Crimo, now 21, was arrested after disguising himself in women’s clothing to make his escape. He now faces seven counts of first-degree murder. While investigators say he confessed to targeting paradegoers, they have not determined a motive.
Katherine Schweit, a retired FBI agent who spearheaded the agency’s active shooter program, said Crimo’s case underscores how difficult it can be to prevent such shootings, even with plenty of warning signs.
“It’s easy to see in the rearview mirror all of the pieces that tie together to an individual who clearly was on a trajectory toward violence,” Schweit said.
“But nobody was able to put it all together. … Police and schools and friends and neighbors handled one tiny piece of this at a time.” | https://www.recordherald.com/news/76495/red-flags-missed-how-july-4-suspect-slipped-through-system | 2022-07-08T08:41:27Z | https://www.recordherald.com/news/76495/red-flags-missed-how-july-4-suspect-slipped-through-system | false | 24 |
A gunman killed 3 people and wounded others at a Copenhagen mall
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A gunman opened fire inside a busy shopping mall in the Danish capital Sunday, killing three people and critically wounding three others, police said.
A 22-year-old Danish man was arrested after the shooting, Copenhagen police inspector Søren Thomassen told reporters, adding there was no indication that anyone else was involved in the attack, though police were still investigating.
Gun violence is relatively rare in Denmark.
Thomassen said it was too early to speculate on the motive for the shooting, which happened in the late afternoon at Field's, one of the biggest shopping malls in Scandinavia and located on the outskirts of the Danish capital. When the shots rang out, some people hid in shops while others fled in a panicked stampede, according to witnesses.
"It is pure terror. This is awful," said Hans Christian Stoltz, a 53-year-old IT consultant, who was bringing his daughters to see Harry Styles perform at concert scheduled for Sunday night near the mall. "You might wonder how a person can do this to another human being, but it's beyond ... beyond anything that's possible."
Thomassen said the victims included a man in his 40s and two "young people," without giving details. Several others were injured, three of them critically, he said.
He said police received the first reports of a shooting at 5.37 p.m., and arrested the suspect 11 minutes later. Thomassen described the suspect as an "ethnic Dane," a phrase typically used to mean someone is white.
Danish broadcaster TV2 published a grainy photo of the alleged gunman, a man wearing knee-length shorts, a vest or sleeveless shirt, and holding what appeared to be a rifle in his right hand. "He seemed very violent and angry," eyewitness Mahdi Al-Wazni told TV2. "He spoke to me and said it (the rifle) isn't real as I was filming him. He seemed very proud of what he was doing."
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the Scandinavian country had been hit by a "cruel attack."
"It is incomprehensible. Heartbreaking. Pointless," she said. "Our beautiful and usually so safe capital was changed in a split second."
Images from the scene showed people running out of the mall, and TV2 posted a photo of a man being put on a stretcher. After the shooting, an enormous contingent of heavily armed police officers patrolled the area, with several fire department vehicles also parked outside the mall.
Laurits Hermansen told Danish broadcaster DR that he was in a clothing store at the shopping center with his family when he heard "three, four bangs. Really loud bangs. It sounded like the shots were being fired just next to the store."
The shopping center is on the outskirts of Copenhagen just across from a subway station for a line that connects the city center with the international airport. A major highway also runs adjacent to the mall.
Organizers called off the Harry Styles concert, which had been scheduled at the nearby Royal Arena, by order of police.
On Snapchat, Styles wrote: "My team and I pray for everyone involved in the Copenhagen shopping mall shooting. I am shocked. Love H."
The royal palace said a reception with Crown Prince Frederik connected to the Tour de France cycling race had been canceled. The first three stages of the race were held in Denmark this year. The reception was due to be held on the royal yacht that is moored in Soenderborg, the town where the third stage ended.
In a joint statement, Queen Margrethe, her son Crown Prince Frederik and his wife, Crown Princess Mary, said: "We do not yet know the full extent of the tragedy, but it is already clear that more people have lost their lives and that even more have been injured."
"The situation calls for unity and care," they said in a statement.
The shooting came a week after a mass shooting in neighboring Norway, where police said a Norwegian man of Iranian origin opened fire during a LGBTQ festival, killing two and wounding more than 20.
It was the worst gun attack in Denmark since February 2015, when a 22-year-old man was killed in a shootout with police after going on a shooting spree in the capital that left two people dead and five police officers wounded. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2655566068892/a-gunman-killed-3-people-and-wounded-others-at-a-copenhagen-mall | 2022-07-08T08:42:44Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2655566068892/a-gunman-killed-3-people-and-wounded-others-at-a-copenhagen-mall | true | 37 |
Pretoria - The Gauteng Department of Education says it is aware of the “unfortunate incident” which occurred at the Hector Peterson Primary School in Soweto, where seven-year-old Sinikeziwe Samkelo Ndlovu was hit by a vehicle inside the school premises.
The Grade 2 learner spent more than a month in the intensive care unit (ICU) after the horrific incident, which took place at the school on 17 May, while she was waiting for her transport to go home.
Spokesperson for the provincial education department Steve Mabona said the learner succumbed to her injuries on 28 June.
“The Gauteng Department of Education confirms awareness of the unfortunate incident which occurred at the Hector Peterson Primary School where a child was hit by a car inside the school yard on Tuesday, 17 May 2022 while waiting for her transport,” Mabona responded to a query on the incident by IOL.
“Our sincerest condolences to the family, friends and fellow learners, some of whom witnessed the traumatic incident. Concerned about the well-being of the other learners and school community following the tragedy, we have dispatched our psycho-social unit to provide necessary support to the learners and the school at large.”
He said after the learner was hit by the vehicle, the parent was notified before she was rushed to hospital.
“We further confirm that the school immediately notified the parent of the late learner following the incident, and the child was rushed to the nearest hospital. A police case has been opened at the nearest police station,” said Mabona.
He said, following the learner’s death, the department is involved in assisting with plans for her burial.
“We have secured a donation from B3 Funeral Undertakers Soweto, who offered to bury the child and continue to work with other concerned stakeholders in arranging for the learner’s funeral, including the school and the School Governing Body (SGB), and we are ready to provide second pre-and post-counselling services to affected family members and support,” said Mabona.
“The district, school and SGB representatives visited the family to offer necessary support. We will continue to do so.”

Pedri follows in Iniesta's footsteps as Barcelona's new No.8
Pedri has been confirmed as Barcelona's new No.8 for the 2022-23 season, with the teenage superstar taking the shirt made famous by club legend Andres Iniesta for the upcoming campaign.
The 19-year-old, who moved to the Blaugrana from Las Palmas in 2020, has enjoyed two superb seasons for the club even as they have struggled with a successful hunt for silverware during that spell, establishing himself as a mainstay at both domestic and international level for Spain.
That rich form has seen him rewarded with a bump up the pecking order for next term - and it will see him follow in the footsteps of Iniesta, as well as some other famous names at Camp Nou.
Editors' Picks
What was Pedri's previous number at Barcelona?
The youngster was handed the No. 16 shirt in his first season with the club, as he arrived on the back of a dismal 2019-20 campaign that had seen the Blaugrana miss out on a trophy and suffer a legendary Champions League humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich.
With the No. 8 shirt then occupied by Bosnia international Miralem Pjanic, Pedri was forced to fight for his spot, and did so, helping them to the 2021 Copa del Rey under Ronald Koeman.
Yet when Pjanic was loaned out to Besiktas, Pedri was still retained at No. 16, with No. 8 handed instead to the returning Dani Alves - but now, the latter has departed the club for a second time, finally allowing the teenager to move up to a starting number.
Who else has worn No. 8 at Barcelona?
A litany of major players have worn the coveted number for the Blaugrana, including Guillermo Amor, Hristo Stoichkov, Albert Celades and Phillip Cocu - plus former boss and now Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who occupied it for the 1993-94 campaign.
But it is Iniesta with which the shirt is most associated, with the Spain legend taking the shirt number in 2007-08 and holding it through to his departure to Vissel Kobe in 2018 - where he also wears No. 8.
During his time in the position, he arguably became the most feared midfielder in European and world football, and led Barcelona to a raft of major honours at home and abroad - though he famously wore No. 6 for Spain in the South Africa 2010 World Cup Final, with now-Barca manager Xavi instead sporting his number on the world stage. | https://www.goal.com/en-cm/news/pedri-follows-iniesta-barcelona-new-no-8/blt20c41511241450eb | 2022-07-08T09:01:06Z | https://www.goal.com/en-cm/news/pedri-follows-iniesta-barcelona-new-no-8/blt20c41511241450eb | true | 8 |
LAS VEGAS — The uncertain status of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving is hanging over the Nets’ offseason, with a chance both disgruntled stars could somehow still be with the team when training camp starts. But the young players on the roster don’t seem to be holding their breath.
The Nets are getting ready to tip off Las Vegas Summer League on Friday against the Bucks, with Durant’s trade demand dominating every headline. Talk to the young Nets who played with Durant and Irving last season, and they project more of an air of resignation to reality than any hope of running it back.
“Yeah, they were very helpful for me during the season. So whether I’m with them or not going forward, I think I’ll always remember the stuff that they taught me in my first year, and what all the vets told me,” Kessler Edwards said after practice Thursday. “So I’m glad I got to experience that in my first year. I’ll always keep that stuff with me.”
Edwards had said on Chris Carrino’s midweek podcast, “Voice of the Nets,” that both Durant and Irving had given him pregame pep talks that buoyed his confidence, and the second-year pro acknowledged that he might not have that feeling again.
“Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, those guys [gave me] a lot of confidence and they talked to me a lot before the games,” Edwards said on the podcast. “That’s a feeling I’ll probably never get again.”
Durant has kept a low profile since demanding a trade a week ago. The drama has held up free agency, dominating the back pages and airwaves and news cycle. But apparently not the day-to-day chatter of the Nets’ summer league roster.
“Yeah I’m just watching everything, too. We don’t really talk about it; just wait and see what happens,” Edwards said. “Just focused on this summer league.”
Perhaps more than any other Net, Cam Thomas — who led the summer league in scoring last year as a rookie to earn co-MVP honors — was taken under Durant’s wing. Underneath their humorous trash-talking was a mentor-mentee relationship, in which Durant and Irving took the offensively gifted guard under their respective wings.
Now Thomas seems fully aware he’s going to have to leave the nest. Or more accurately, the nest may be leaving him.
“Yeah, just him and Kyrie really, I connected with those two a lot. So those two are my brothers no matter what happens. I still call them or text them on something,” Thomas said. “So you know, it is what it is. It’s part of the business. Hopefully everything works out in our favor. But you’ve just got to move on with life. It is what it is.”
But the bigger question is: Have Durant or Irving been texting him back?
Yahoo Sports and TNT sideline reporter Chris Haynes said on his “Posted Up” podcast that Durant had “gone dark,” not responding to other NBA stars who had been reaching out to him in the past week to touch base and gauge his interest in being traded to their teams.
In essence, Durant has largely gone underground.
“I texted him last week; that’s the last time I talked to him,” Thomas said. “I haven’t talked to him since, though.”
Adam Caporn — who was the Long Island Nets’ head coach and is being elevated to an assistant spot on Steve Nash’s staff — is coaching the Nets in the summer league. He said he hasn’t talked to his young players about the Durant-Irving melodrama, and claimed he has no intention of doing so.
While the entire NBA world is checking their alerts, watching the ticker on ESPN and hanging on every scrap of news, Thomas insisted he isn’t.
“No. But I mean, it is what it is. It’s part of the business,” Thomas said. “They have their decisions, they’ll make them. But I’m just focusing on summer league at this point.” | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/nets-youngsters-grateful-for-time-with-kevin-durant-kyrie-irving/252428/ | 2022-07-08T09:02:40Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/nets-youngsters-grateful-for-time-with-kevin-durant-kyrie-irving/252428/ | true | 2 |
Former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe has been shot and critically wounded during a campaign speech in western Japan. He was airlifted to a hospital after the incident in Nara, but officials said he was not breathing and his heart had stopped.
He is described as 'critical' and medical staff are battling to save his life. Stratford-upon-Avon MP Nadhim Zahawi came under fire when he tweeted prematurely that he was dead.
The new Chancellor had posted a tweet declaring Mr Abe had not survived despite no official confirmation. The tweet has now been taken down but Twitter users were quick to slap down his dangerous claim, branding the politician as "embarrassing."

Police arrested the suspected gunman at the scene of an attack that shocked many in Japan, which is one of the world's safest nations and has some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Mr Abe was in "grave condition", and added that he hoped the former leader would survive.
Mr Kishida and his cabinet ministers hastily returned to Tokyo from campaign events around the country after the shooting, which he called "dastardly and barbaric". "I'm praying for former Prime Minister Abe's survival from the bottom of my heart," Mr Kishida told reporters at his office.
The public broadcaster NHK aired footage showing Mr Abe collapsed on the street, with several security guards running toward him. He was bleeding and holding his chest. In the next moment, security guards leap on top of a man in grey shirt, who lies face down on the pavement. A double-barrelled device, which appeared to be a handmade gun, can be seen on the ground.
Nara prefectural police confirmed the arrest of Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, on suspicion of attempted murder. NHK reported that the suspect served in Japan's Maritime Self-Defence Force for three years in the 2000s.
"I use the harshest words to condemn (the act)," Mr Kishida said, as he struggled to control his emotions. He said the government planned to review the security situation, but added that Mr Abe had the highest protection. Japan's chief cabinet secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters: "A barbaric act like this is absolutely unforgivable, no matter what the reasons are, and we condemn it strongly."
Mr Abe was reportedly shot a few minutes after he started talking outside of a main train station in western Nara.
The popular former leader is still influential in the governing Liberal Democratic Party and heads its largest faction, Seiwakai. Elections for Japan's upper house, the less powerful chamber of its parliament, will take place on Sunday.
Mr Abe was giving a speech when people heard gunshots. He was holding his chest when he collapsed, his shirt smeared with blood, but was able to speak before he fell unconscious.
The attack was a shock in a country that's one of the world's safest and with some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere. The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper printed extra editions, which were quickly grabbed by people on the street to read about the shooting.
Nara, once the capital of Japan, is just to the east of Osaka on the country's main Honshu island. An arch-conservative, Mr Abe stepped down in 2020 because he said a chronic health problem has resurfaced. He has had ulcerative colitis since he was a teenager and said the condition could be controlled with treatment.
He told reporters at the time that it was "gut wrenching" to leave many of his goals unfinished. He spoke of his failure to resolve the issue of Japanese abducted years ago by North Korea, a territorial dispute with Russia and a revision of Japan's war-renouncing constitution. That last goal was a big reason he was such a divisive figure.
His ultra-nationalism had riled the Koreas and China, and his push to normalise Japan's defence posture had angered many Japanese people. Mr Abe failed to achieve his cherished goal of formally rewriting the US-drafted pacifist constitution because of poor public support.
Former US president Donald Trump said the shooting was "absolutely devastating news". He said on his social media app that Mr Abe "was a true friend of mine and, much more importantly, America. This is a tremendous blow to the wonderful people of Japan, who loved and admired him so much. We are all praying for Shinzo and his beautiful family!"

The number of people affected by hunger globally rose to as many as 828 million in 2021, an increase of about 46 million since 2020 and 150 million since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic (1), according to a United Nations report that provides fresh evidence that the world is moving further away from its goal of ending hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030.
The 2022 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report presents updates on the food security and nutrition situation around the world, including the latest estimates of the cost and affordability of a healthy diet. The report also looks at ways in which governments can repurpose their current support to agriculture to reduce the cost of healthy diets, mindful of the limited public resources available in many parts of the world.
The report was jointly published today by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The numbers paint a grim picture:
- As many as 828 million people were affected by hunger in 2021 - 46 million people more from a year earlier and 150 million more from 2019.
- After remaining relatively unchanged since 2015, the proportion of people affected by hunger jumped in 2020 and continued to rise in 2021, to 9.8 percent of the world population. This compares with 8 percent in 2019 and 9.3 percent in 2020.
- Around 2.3 billion people in the world (29.3 percent) were moderately or severely food insecure in 2021 - 350 million more compared to before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly 924 million people (11.7 percent of the global population) faced food insecurity at severe levels, an increase of 207 million in two years.
- The gender gap in food insecurity continued to rise in 2021 - 31.9 percent of women in the world were moderately or severely food insecure, compared to 27.6 percent of men - a gap of more than 4 percentage points, compared with 3 percentage points in 2020.
- Almost 3.1 billion people could not afford a healthy diet in 2020, up 112 million from 2019, reflecting the effects of inflation in consumer food prices stemming from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures put in place to contain it.
- An estimated 45 million children under the age of five were suffering from wasting, the deadliest form of malnutrition, which increases children's risk of death by up to 12 times. Furthermore, 149 million children under the age of five had stunted growth and development due to a chronic lack of essential nutrients in their diets, while 39 million were overweight.
- Progress is being made on exclusive breastfeeding, with nearly 44 percent of infants under six months of age being exclusively breastfed worldwide in 2020. This is still short of the 50 percent target by 2030. Of great concern, two in three children are not fed the minimum diverse diet they need to grow and develop to their full potential.
- Looking forward, projections are that nearly 670 million people (8 percent of the world population) will still be facing hunger in 2030 - even if a global economic recovery is taken into consideration. This is a similar number to 2015, when the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition by the end of this decade was launched under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
As this report is being published, the ongoing war in Ukraine, involving two of the biggest global producers of staple cereals, oilseeds and fertilizer, is disrupting international supply chains and pushing up the prices of grain, fertilizer, energy, as well as ready-to-use therapeutic food for children with severe malnutrition. This comes as supply chains are already being adversely affected by increasingly frequent extreme climate events, especially in low-income countries, and has potentially sobering implications for global food security and nutrition.
"This report repeatedly highlights the intensification of these major drivers of food insecurity and malnutrition: conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks, combined with growing inequalities," the heads of the five UN agencies (2) wrote in this year's Foreword. "The issue at stake is not whether adversities will continue to occur or not, but how we must take bolder action to build resilience against future shocks."
Repurposing agricultural policies
The report notes as striking that worldwide support for the food and agricultural sector averaged almost USD 630 billion a year between 2013 and 2018. The lion share of it goes to individual farmers, through trade and market policies and fiscal subsidies. However, not only is much of this support market-distorting, but it is not reaching many farmers, hurts the environment and does not promote the production of nutritious foods that make up a healthy diet. That's in part because subsidies often target the production of staple foods, dairy and other animal source foods, especially in high- and upper-middle-income countries. Rice, sugar and meats of various types are most incentivized food items worldwide, while fruits and vegetables are relatively less supported, particularly in some low-income countries.
With the threats of a global recession looming, and the implications this has on public revenues and expenditures, a way to support economic recovery involves the repurposing of food and agricultural support to target nutritious foods where per capita consumption does not yet match the recommended levels for healthy diets.
The evidence suggests that if governments repurpose the resources they are using to incentivize the production, supply and consumption of nutritious foods, they will contribute to making healthy diets less costly, more affordable and equitably for all.
Finally, the report also points out that governments could do more to reduce trade barriers for nutritious foods, such as fruits, vegetables and pulses.
(1)It is estimated that between 702 and 828 million people were affected by hunger in 2021.The estimate is presented as a range to reflect the added uncertainty in data collection due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions. The increases are measured with reference to the middle of the projected range (768 million).
(2) For FAO - QU Dongyu, Director-General; for IFAD - Gilbert F. Houngbo, President; for UNICEF - Catherine Russell, Executive Director; for WFP - David Beasley, Executive Director; for WHO - Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General.
What they said
FAO Director-General QU Dongyu: "Low-income countries, where agriculture is key to the economy, jobs and rural livelihoods, have little public resources to repurpose. FAO is committed to continue working together with these countries to explore opportunities for increasing the provision of public services for all actors across agrifood systems."
IFAD President Gilbert F. Houngbo: "These are depressing figures for humanity. We continue to move away from our goal of ending hunger by 2030. The ripple effects of the global food crisis will most likely worsen the outcome again next year. We need a more intense approach to end hunger and IFAD stands ready to do its part by scaling up its operations and impact. We look forward to having everyone's support."
UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell: "The unprecedented scale of the malnutrition crisis demands an unprecedented response. We must double our efforts to ensure that the most vulnerable children have access to nutritious, safe, and affordable diets -- and services for the early prevention, detection and treatment of malnutrition. With so many children's lives and futures at stake, this is the time to step up our ambition for child nutrition - and we have no time to waste."
WFP Executive Director David Beasley: "There is a real danger these numbers will climb even higher in the months ahead. The global price spikes in food, fuel and fertilizers that we are seeing as a result of the crisis in Ukraine threaten to push countries around the world into famine. The result will be global destabilization, starvation, and mass migration on an unprecedented scale. We have to act today to avert this looming catastrophe."
WHO Director-GeneralTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: "Every year, 11 million people die due to unhealthy diets. Rising food prices mean this will only get worse. WHO supports countries' efforts to improve food systems through taxing unhealthy foods and subsidising healthy options, protecting children from harmful marketing, and ensuring clear nutrition labels. We must work together to achieve the 2030 global nutrition targets, to fight hunger and malnutrition, and to ensure that food is a source of health for all."
GLOSSARY
Acute food insecurity: food insecurity found in a specified area at a specific point in time and of a severity that threatens lives or livelihoods, or both, regardless of the causes, context or duration. Has relevance in providing strategic guidance to actions that focus on short-term objectives to prevent, mitigate or decrease severe food insecurity.
Hunger: an uncomfortable or painful sensation caused by insufficient energy from diet. Food deprivation. In this report, the term hunger is synonymous with chronic undernourishment and is measured by the prevalence of undernourishment (PoU).
Malnutrition: an abnormal physiological condition caused by inadequate, unbalanced or excessive intake of macronutrients and/or micronutrients. Malnutrition includes undernutrition (child stunting and wasting, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies) as well as overweight and obesity.
Moderate food insecurity:a level of severity of food insecurity at which people face uncertainties about their ability to obtain food and have been forced to reduce, at times during the year, the quality and/or quantity of food they consume due to lack of money or other resources. It refers to a lack of consistent access to food, which diminishes dietary quality and disrupts normal eating patterns.Measured based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale.
Severe food insecurity: a level of severity of food insecurity at which, at some time during the year, people have run out of food, experienced hunger and at the most extreme, gone without food for a day or more. Measured based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale.
Undernourishment: a condition in which an individual's habitual food consumption is insufficient to provide the amount of dietary energy required to maintain a normal, active, healthy life. The prevalence of undernourishment is used to measure hunger (SDG indicator 2.1.1). | https://allafrica.com/stories/202207080080.html | 2022-07-08T09:06:38Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202207080080.html | false | 20 |
WALL TOWNSHIP- The Wall Township Fair wrapped up four successful days of fun for residents and visitors on Monday, July 4, despite less than ideal weather forecasts.
The COVID-19 pandemic had forced cancellation of the fair in 2020 and 2021.
“It’s something we needed,” said Mike Thompson, recreation director for Wall Township.
We haven’t had it since 2019, so everybody’s looking to get back out and reestablish things that we’ve been doing prior to the pandemic. It was really important for us to be together and work together, put, which is exactly what we did.”
Mr. Thompson said the fair drew a larger overall turnout than in previous years, though free admission makes precise crowd counts difficult. He acknowledged, however, that the predictions of stormy weather may have kept some folks away.
“When reports call for heavy rain, people will make different plans,” he said. “All we got was about 30 minutes of regular rain. We didn’t get any large gusts or any hail, but some people probably altered their plans a little. We ended up still getting a fair number, considering the rain.”
The 20 amusement rides and other games at the fair were provided by Amusement America through a bid with the township.
Guests of age also enjoyed the Wine and Beer Garden, with the alcohol provided by Ritchie and Page Distributing Company.
Municipal employees and volunteers were responsible for making the fair special for guests, including the Recreation Department, the Department of Public Works, the Police Department, the Administrative Office, the local fire wardens, marshalls and the volunteer EMS.
The four-day festival featured local musicians live on stage, including the Wall Intermediate Jazz Ensemble, MMDA Music Academy Rock Bands, The Flooks, White Wing, Rogues on the Run, the 63rd Army Band, Sean Patrick Band, Mike DiRocco, The Milltones and The Eddie Testa Band.

The Pacific’s spiralling debt - and what governments can do about it
Declining global demand also adversely impacted commodity-exporting countries such as Papua New Guinea PNG, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu. With falling GDP and a rise in public spending to cushion the ravages of the pandemic, Pacific countries find themselves in a sovereign debt crisis. United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific UNESCAP country reports show that for Pacific countries, the debt-to-GDP ratio, a commonly used benchmark, has increased from an average of 32 percent in 2019 before COVID to 42.2 percent in 2021.

- Fiji
Rising debt and declining income seem to add up to an austere future for Pacific Island nations. But belt-tightening may make things worse.
The whole Pacific region is in recession, according to a late-2021 International Monetary Fund report. Income is down and spending is up. Global demand for regional exports has declined, and COVID-19 shut down the vital tourism sector.
Meanwhile, countries have had to meet the expense of managing both the pandemic and climate change. It has all pushed Pacific nations into greater risk of debt distress. But austerity measures are only likely to undermine the region's economic recovery.
GDP declined by an average of 2.4 percent in 2021, on top of a 3.7 percent slide in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic hit tourism-dependent economies such as Fiji, Palau, Samoa, Tonga, and Vanuatu hard — they saw an average economic contraction of 6.5 percent in 2021. Declining global demand also adversely impacted commodity-exporting countries such as Papua New Guinea (PNG), Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu.
With falling GDP and a rise in public spending to cushion the ravages of the pandemic, Pacific countries find themselves in a sovereign debt crisis.
United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) country reports show that for Pacific countries, the debt-to-GDP ratio, a commonly used benchmark, has increased from an average of 32 percent in 2019 (before COVID) to 42.2 percent in 2021. Fiji and Palau have a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 80 percent and 70 percent, respectively.
The worrying debt levels and growing climate crisis are constraining governments' ability to invest in public services. Remoteness from global markets and the geography of Pacific Island economies means high infrastructure costs. Remoteness also drives up import costs for capital equipment, mineral fuels, and other intermediate goods.
The island nations are now further witnessing an increase in prices, especially for essential commodities, due to pandemic-induced supply disruptions and the Russia–Ukraine war.
The Pacific's vulnerability to natural disasters and climate-induced shocks adds to infrastructure costs because greater original investment is now needed to build climate-resilient infrastructure. Maintenance expenses are also higher because of recurrent damage. Increasing climate-related extreme events are making Pacific debt levels more precarious.
Pacific countries are now at greater risk of debt distress, according to a recent debt-sustainability analysis by the IMF and World Bank. Seven low-income Pacific Island countries — Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, PNG, Samoa, Tonga, and Tuvalu — are at high risk of debt distress.
The Solomon Islands and Vanuatu are at moderate risk of debt distress, but they both have very limited capacity to absorb shocks. Timor-Leste, previously rated as low risk, is now rated by the IMF as at moderate risk of debt distress. For middle-income countries like Fiji, Nauru, and Palau, IMF assessment shows debt is sustainable, but in the case of Fiji, the debt situation has worsened and is subject to increased risk.
The Asian Development Bank, while downgrading Fiji's creditworthiness, noted a sustained deterioration in Fiji's debt sustainability, which has increased its risk of being unable to fulfill its financial obligations.
Most of the Pacific's external debt is with multilateral agencies as opposed to bilateral creditors, according to World Bank data. The Asian Development Bank is the major creditor for countries such as Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu, holding about 38 percent of all external debt, followed by China (22 percent), the World Bank (13 percent), and Australia and Japan (6 percent). Chinese loans are less than half of the total in Fiji, PNG, Vanuatu, and Samoa.
But Tonga, Samoa, and Vanuatu are among the world's most indebted countries to China. In 2020, these countries owed China the equivalent of USD 1.6 billion. Tonga, with over 55 percent Chinese debt as a share of total external debt and in the high-risk category of debt distress, needs to be cautious in bilateral dealings.
A constant trade deficit and high debt levels may lead Pacific Island governments to adopt austerity measures to build fiscal capacity. This is likely to worsen poverty and inequality in the region and undermine economic recovery. Rapid fiscal consolidation can also have adverse implications for moving towards a climate-resilient Pacific and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
However, Pacific Island countries urgently need to improve their finances so they can invest in economic recovery and development and undertake climate adaptation and mitigation measures.
To do this, they need substantial financial resources. Grants and access to concessional financing will be critical for the Pacific. The existing international financial architecture and particularly the debt architecture do not adequately consider the vulnerabilities of the Pacific Island countries. Pacific Island countries need long-term financing.
The World Bank estimates that Pacific Islands require more than 10 percent of their GDP annually and an additional 5 to 10 percent of GDP for climate and disaster resilience costs until 2040.
The gap between potential and actual revenue is significant in the Pacific, UNESCAP estimates show, and so Pacific Island countries could consider domestic economic activity to increase their revenue.
Pacific nations have substantial advantages in agriculture, manufacturing, and other value-adding activities, but these sectors face challenges such as high operational costs due to capital and transport costs, consistent supply of materials, and the disconnect between the motivation to commercialize and the requisite political confidence, policies, and resources. These issues need to be deliberately addressed.
If Pacific Island countries are to beat a path towards the sustainable expansion of financial and technical services, while balancing fundamental infrastructure development and institutional reforms, and managing national debt, they will need to work with development partners and multilateral agencies.
Day-to-day management of public finance in the Pacific has improved, according to ADB's Pacific Economic Monitor series, but it remains an area for further capacity building.
Experience from other developing economies highlights the need for developing a comprehensive approach, including strengthening investment priorities, public financial-management planning via short- to medium-term frameworks, and wider public-sector reforms to improve operational efficiencies.
Appropriate debt financing can play a crucial role in meeting long-term development needs in the Pacific. But strong transparency, accountability, and effective debt monitoring are required to meet future debt obligation concerns and associated constraints on domestic resources.
Governments of the Pacific Islands must lead this process, having a firm commitment to prudent fiscal discipline through proactive policy approaches and investments in areas with sustainable and significant economic returns. It is crucial for the Pacific's long-term fiscal sustainability and for supporting the well-being of Pacific communities.

Tennessee hot dog restaurant offering free milkshakes with proof of vasectomy
(CNN) - While more states ban abortions in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a Tennessee hot dog restaurant is rewarding men who took a major personal step to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Daddy’s Dogs in Nashville is offering free milkshakes to men who’ve had vasectomies.
It’s the “Snip for shake” deal and so far, the restaurant says it handed out nearly 15 free milkshakes.
Customers just need to bring a doctor’s note or proof of procedure to receive a free milkshake.
But not everyone his on board with the promotion.
“There’s a couple of people that have like shouted stuff as they drive by or you know, trolled us on the Web. But for the most part I think the response has been just fun and you know, we’ve gotten quite a few takers,” Sean Porter said, the owner of Daddy’s Dogs.

TUI has announced further flight cancellations to Sri Lanka amid ongoing political unrest. Over the past few months there has been limited stocks of fuel, cooking gas and food in the country, resulting in street protests and violence with police.
It has resulted in the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advising against all essential travel to Sri Lanka. This has forced TUI to cancel more flights and holidays.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, TUI had originally cancelled Sri Lanka holidays until the end of June. However, the travel firm has now confirmed it is extending this policy through July.

TUI said: "Due to the ongoing political and economic instability in Sri Lanka, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has advised against all but essential travel. As a result, we’ve unfortunately had to cancel all holidays to Sri Lanka departing up to and including July 18 2022.
"We will be proactively contacting all impacted customers in departure date order to discuss their options.
"Please note this advice does not apply to customers transiting through Sri Lanka’s international airport and customers currently in resort can continue to enjoy their holiday as planned.
"We will continue to monitor the situation and update customers should there be any further updates. We would like to thank our customers for their understanding at this time."

Open-fire cooking tips: what to cook and how to get the best flavours
Cooking on an open fire is a great way to impart sensational natural flavours to your food – both meat and vegetables. Discover how to make the most of your campfire this summer with our tips from Pit Kitchen chefs James and Adam Thomas.
Cooking on an open fire is one of life's greatest joys - and it's simple, too, according to fire pit chefs James and Adam Thomas of the Pit Kitchen.
The Thomas brothers believe that cooking over embers brings ultimate flavour to your food, whether you're a meat-eater, vegetarian or vegan. And simple is always better; use the best-quality ingredients you can find in your local area and you can't go wrong.
James and Adam have been open-fire cooking for years, learning a few useful tricks along the way for getting the most out of your campfire. Here are some tips to get you started.
For more ideas on cooking delicious seasonal food – including hearty soups, great bakes and tasty salads – head over to our Countryfile recipes section.
What is the best wood for open-fire cooking?
Ideally kiln-dried, but a well-seasoned hardwood such as oak, ash or beech works best and adds to the flavour.
There needs to be less than 20% moisture content in the wood or you’ll lose too much heat because of the moisture. Pine logs will burn too fast and create a bitter-tasting smoke.
Mixing your wood with charcoal will also give you a great constant heat source. You're after sustainable lumpwood and not briquettes from your local garage. The chunkier and more log-shaped your charcoal is the better.
Should you cook over embers or flames?
Embers. You’re aiming for slow, steady cooking, so be patient and wait for the wood to burn down to achieve a strong, constant heat to cook with. Once you have hot embers, it reduces the chance of flare ups and gives you more control of the grill.
How to cook meat on an open fire
There are lots of variables when it comes to bbq cooking, making it difficult to rely on set cooking times. Instead, invest in a meat probe to keep an eye on the internal temperature of your food whilst it cooks.
Cook your meat until it's a couple of degrees below your final cooking temperature, then set aside to rest; the internal temperature will continue to rise. Resting is just as important as the cooking, so be patient and you'll be rewarded with beautiful melt-in-the-mouth meat.
Recipe: lamb ribs with sweet zhoug
How to cook vegetables on an open fire
Try grilling vegetables over embers as the star of the show. Spring greens, halved peppers, courgettes, thickly sliced aubergines, halved little Gem lettuce, cauliflower steaks, radishes, broad beans, asparagus, and peas in the pod all work well.
You can also try throwing onions, potatoes and leeks straight onto the hot coals, cooking them in their skins for 45 mins. Vegetable skins create natural protection for the soft flesh within so don't be put off by the charred outer layer. Once blackened, slice in half and remove the sweet, tender flesh from the outer layers, then toss it with parsley and butter.
Basting food on an open fire
To avoid your food drying out, remember to baste, glaze or mop with a tasty sauce or any leftover meat marinade, if used. You want your meat to be soft and moist inside with the beautiful charring and caramelisation from the bbq on the outside.

A suspect lost his pants while he was being chased by Florida police but kept the manhunt up for hours longer completely in the nude, cops said.
Police responded to a home in Branford on July 2 to a residence where 50-year-old Jesse Lamb, of Gainesville, was reportedly refusing to leave, according to the Suwannee County Sheriff’s Office.
While cops were on their way, they learned that Lamb had an active warrant out for failing to appear in court in 2021 for driving with a suspended license.
When cops arrived at the residence, they spotted Lamb sprinting from the back of the residence towards the Suwannee River in nothing but a pair of shorts. Deputies chased him until he jumped in the river and began swimming towards a floating dock, which he hid under.
Officers demanded that Lamb come out from below the dock, he did, but swam away again, according to the sheriff’s office.
“Jesse told the Deputies that he was surrendering, but we already know Jesse is not a man of his word since he promised to show up in court in 2021 and didn’t,” the sheriff’s office said.
As he swam away, Lamb lost his shorts and “was now skinny dipping,” as he headed towards another dock and hid below it.
For the next couple of hours, police “played hide and seek with Jesse,” as his head would suddenly appear from below the dock only to disappear again, cops said.
Police said a neighbor stuck an underwater camera below the dock, confirming he was still under there.
Lamb eventually made a break and made a bee-line for the other side of the river, but was captured in his birthday suit by a deputy with the assistance of the dock owner in the dock owner’s boat, the sheriff’s office said.
He was transported to the Suwannee County Jail. He’s charged with resisting arrest without violence and failure to appear. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/florida-man-jesse-lamb-flees-nude-from-police-in-hours-long-manhunt/252321/ | 2022-07-08T09:24:00Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/florida-man-jesse-lamb-flees-nude-from-police-in-hours-long-manhunt/252321/ | false | 2 |
NAIROBI, Kenya Jul 8 – President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday hosted hundreds of religious leaders from Central Kenya Region at State House, Nairobi.
With one month to the August general elections, the President has hosted the men of the cloth from his political backyard for a non-denominational worship and prayer service.
“His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta is today at State House, Nairobi hosting hundreds of religious leaders from Central Kenya Region for a non-denominational worship and prayer service,” tweeted State House.
This comes months after months after the Jubilee party leader met over 3000 elders from Central Kenya in the quest to scuttle the influence of Deputy President William Ruto from the region.
President Kenyatta who is the self-declared Kingpin of Mt Kenya region has been working in earnest to ensure the region backs his preferred successor Raila Odinga in the general elections.
With a few months to the polls, the Jubilee party leader has been strategizing to lock in the vote rich Mt Kenya voting basket behind Odinga. | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/07/president-kenyatta-meets-with-religious-leaders-from-mt-kenya-at-state-house/ | 2022-07-08T09:24:47Z | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/07/president-kenyatta-meets-with-religious-leaders-from-mt-kenya-at-state-house/ | true | null |
Born into a prominent political family, Shinzo Abe was the country’s longest-serving prime minister.
While credited with bringing a degree of stability to Japan following a period of economic malaise, Mr Abe angered neighbours South Korea and China – along with many Japanese people – with his nationalistic rhetoric and calls to revise the country’s pacifist constitution.
Here is a look at some key dates in Mr Abe’s life and career.
September 21 1954: Shinzo Abe is born in Tokyo, the son of Shintaro Abe, who served as Japan’s foreign minister, and grandson of Nobusuke Kishi, a former prime minister.
1977: Graduates from Seikei University in Tokyo with a degree in political science, after which he
moves to the US to study public policy at the University of Southern California for three semesters.
1979: Begins working at Kobe Steel as the firm was expanding its presence abroad.
1982: Leaves the company to pursue new positions at the foreign ministry and with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
1993: First elected as a LDP legislator representing the south-western prefecture of Yamaguchi. Mr Abe, already viewed as a conservative, is a member of the party’s Mori faction that had once been headed by his father, who died in 1991.
2005: Mr Abe is appointed chief cabinet secretary under then-prime minister Junichiro Koizumi, during which he leads negotiations to return Japanese citizens abducted to North Korea. The same year, he is elected head of the LDP, putting him in line to take over as prime minister.
September 26 2006: He becomes Japan’s prime minister for the first time, overseeing economic reforms while taking a hard line on North Korea and seeking to engage with South Korea and China.
2007: Following electoral defeats that saw the LDP lose control of the legislature for the first time in 52 years, Mr Abe resigns as prime minister, citing health reasons. He has been suffering from ulcerative colitis but was able to control it with medication.
2012: After again being elected LDP president, Mr Abe becomes prime minister for the second time.
2013: Seeking to boost growth, Mr Abe launches his “Abenomics” policies featuring easy lending and structural reforms. Japan’s relations with China undergo a particularly rough patch but begin to improve after Mr Abe meets with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the APEC summit in Beijing.
2014-2020: Re-elected LDP leader, he serves two additional terms as prime minister for a total of four, during which he develops close relations with then-US president Donald Trump, holding summits and playing golf together.
August 28 2020: Announces he will step down as prime minister, again citing health reasons, after his ulcerative colitis flares up again. By that point, Mr Abe had already become Japan’s longest-serving prime minister.
2021: Despite leaving office, Mr Abe shows he can still rile Beijing with comments on Taiwan, the self-governing island China claims as its own territory and threatens to attack. In a speech, Mr Abe warned that “military adventure would lead to economic suicide”.
July 8 2022: Mr Abe is shot and fatally wounded during a campaign event in the city of Nara. Police arrest a male suspect but no motive was immediately known. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/world-news/2022/07/08/timeline-key-events-in-life-of-former-japanese-pm-shinzo-abe/ | 2022-07-08T09:25:26Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/world-news/2022/07/08/timeline-key-events-in-life-of-former-japanese-pm-shinzo-abe/ | false | 14 |
California [US], July 8 (ANI): According to a new study led by the University of California, Davis, balancing how much protein you consume with how much your body requires may cut nitrogen releases to aquatic systems in the U.S. by 12 per cent and total nitrogen losses to air and water by 4 per cent.
The findings of the research were published in the journal 'Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment'.

Protein consumption in the United States, from both plant and animal sources, ranks among the highest in the world. The study states that if Americans ate protein at recommended amounts, projected nitrogen excretion rates in 2055 would be 27 per cent less than they are today despite population growth.
The study is the first to estimate how much protein consumption contributes to excess nitrogen in the environment through human waste. It also indicates that coastal cities have the largest potential to reduce nitrogen excretions headed for their watersheds.
"It turns out that many of us don't need as much protein as we eat, and that has repercussions for our health and aquatic ecosystems," said lead author Maya Almaraz, a research affiliate with the UC Davis Institute of the Environment. "If we could reduce that to an amount appropriate to our health, we could better protect our environmental resources."
Protein shake-up
The human body requires protein. But when a body takes in more protein than it needs, excess amino acids break it down into nitrogen, which is excreted mostly through urine and released through the wastewater system. This brings additional nitrogen into waterways, which can result in toxic algal blooms, oxygen-starved "dead zones" and polluted drinking water.
The scientists estimated current and future nitrogen excretion exports based on U.S. Census population data. They saw an upward trend over time, with exports increasing 20 per cent from 2016 to 2055. That increase is associated with population growth, as well as an ageing population, which requires more protein to manage muscle loss.
Coastal cities have biggest potential to reduce
Coastal cities face dramatic population growth in the coming decades, and suburban migration patterns indicate such movement is typically accompanied by increased nutrient loading conveyed through wastewater, stormwater runoff and other sources.
The study found that coastal cities along the West Coast, Texas, Florida, Chicago and especially the northeast U.S. show large potential for reducing dietary nitrogen loading to their watersheds.
Food WasteSewage contributes 15 per cent of the total nitrogen flux from land to the ocean in North America, the study said. Technology capable of removing 90 per cent of the nitrogen in sewage exists, but less than 1 per cent of sewage is treated with it due to its expense. Eating a diet that balances protein with the body's needs can be healthier for humans and reduce nitrogen pollution in the environment without additional wastewater treatment costs.
"It's interesting to think about possible ways to cut into those nitrogen losses beyond expensive technology," said Almaraz. "Dietary changes are a healthy and cheap way to do it." (ANI)

(Bloomberg) — A Russian court order to halt oil loadings from a port in the Black Sea has unnerved European crude traders already reeling from the tightest regional market in years, sending prices for competing barrels spiraling.
Most Read from Bloomberg
On Tuesday, a Russian court ordered a 30-day stoppage of the CPC Terminal, through which more than 30 million barrels of mostly Kazakh crude gets exported each month. It said the halt is because the facility violated its oil-spill prevention plan.
If it comes to pass, the stoppage would be another blow to a European oil market that’s lost large amounts of supply to unrest in Libya, and seen sharply reduced shipments from elsewhere. For now the terminal is running as normal.
Azeri Light oil, popular among European refiners because of its low sulfur levels, jumped to a premium of more than $10 a barrel to benchmark Dated Brent, the highest level several traders were able to remember. Further afield, Nigeria’s Forcados crude was offered at a premium of $14 a barrel.
Bailiff Requirement
The CPC stoppage is meant to begin after a bailiff arrives. That hasn’t happened yet, and the terminal operator, Caspian Pipeline Consortium, has asked the higher regional court to delay the order suspending operations, arguing a sudden stop could cause permanent damage.
European refiners are now mostly keeping away from Russia’s Urals crude following the invasion into Ukraine, putting a greater emphasis on other sources of supply.
But Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Libya, the North Sea and West Africa — all major suppliers to Europe — already saw their combined monthly exports decline by a combined 1.04 million barrels a day in June, tanker tracking compiled by Bloomberg show.
Russia Targets Europe With Weaponized Kazakh Crude: Oil Strategy
Exports from Libya have fallen to about a third of last year’s level amid the worsening political crisis. Should the court order go ahead, it would strip Europe of at least another 1 million barrels a day.
Several oil traders in the region expressed concerns over the possible shutdown, saying spot prices could go up even further because of an urgent need for alternative grades. Some refineries that already bought CPC cargoes for August loading said they were worried whether their shipments will now be delayed.
CPC loadings are planned at about 1.24 million barrels a day in July, slightly less than 1.4 million to 1.5 million barrels a day in the first quarter, mainly due to planned maintenance at Kazakhstan’s giant Kashagan field.
The US and its allies are trying to punish Moscow in the oil market for the country’s invasion of Ukraine, prompting speculation the court order is a politically motivated response that may have less of an impact on supply in practice.
In late March, CPC had to shut two of three moorings for repairs for more than a month due to significant damage caused by bad weather. Last month, the terminal operated from one of three moorings after World War II mines were found nearby.
Despite those setbacks, which also alarmed the market at the time, CPC managed to keep its exports largely in line with pre-planned loading levels.
Physical oil traders aren’t taking any chances though. Dated to Frontline Brent swaps, which reflect the premium of real-world North Sea crude supplies over ICE Brent futures, have surged to a premium of about $5 a barrel.

Life thrown out of gear, coal production affected in SCCL mines with heavy rains
Published: Published Date - 01:26 PM, Fri - 8 July 22
Khammam: Incessant rainfall during the past 24-hours has thrown life out of gear with overflowing streams and tanks cut off transportation at many places and coal production was affected at SCCL opencast mines in erstwhile Khammam district.
With heavy inflow of flood water coming into Kinnerasani reservoir at Paloncha in Kothagudem district six gates have been lifted on Friday to discharge around 3500 Cusecs of excess water downstream.
The inflow into the reservoir was 72000 Cusecs into and current water level was 404 feet at the reservoir with full reservoir level of 407 feet, officials said. Vehicular traffic came to halt at Rajapuram with the discharge of water.
Similarly at Taliperu reservoir in Cherla mandal officials lifted gates to discharge 11, 912 Cusecs of excess water downstream. The current water level was 69.92 metres while the full reservoir level was 74 metres. The residents in low lying areas were alerted as water was discharged.
Meanwhile, the work of removing overburden and coal production was affected in SCCL opencast mines at JK 5 OC in Yellandu mandal and at Koyagudem OC in Tekulapalli mandal, at GK OC in Kothagudem, at Manurgur and at JVR and Kistaram OCs in Sathupalli mandal of Khammam district. About 40, 000 tonnes of coal production was affected, officials said.
At Koyagudem the office premises of SVBC company was inundated with rainwater. A piece of land was sunk at 21 incline closed mine area in Yellandu mandal causing panic among the locals.
On the other hand, a temporary bridge at Maturpet in Madhira mandal was washed away affecting transportation to five villages. Gondigudem and Tummalacheruvu villages in Aswapuram mandal were disconnected as Isukavagu was overflowing due rains.
With overflowing streams and tanks low lying areas in many mandals in both Kothagudem and Khammam districts were inundated. Transport Minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar directed the district officials to be alert and monitor the rain situation to avoid any untoward incidents.
The district police officials appealed to the public to be cautious and not to attempt to cross overflowing streams and to contact the local police in case of any trouble. An unidentified man was trapped between two overflowing streams at Sompalli in Burgampad mandals and the locals alerted the police.

FORTINET CUP
5 Things We Learned from PEI
-
July 05, 2022
By PGA TOUR Canada Staff , PGATOUR.COM

July 05, 2022
- Cooper Dossey has proven himself consistent during the early part of this season with a pair of top-10s in his three starts and is one of 17 players to make all three cuts in 2022.
1. Trent Phillips can make eagles in bunches. When the week in Prince Edward Island began, the PGA TOUR University alum, who made his PGA TOUR Canada debut at the ATB Classic presented by Volvo Edmonton, had not made an eagle. Despite Phillips’ 67-66-67-68 performance at Edmonton Petroleum Golf and Country Club, no eagles helped him to his eventual tie-for-fourth finish. Last week at the Prince Edward Island Open presented by IMP Solutions, Phillips remedied that and replicated his Edmonton finish. In the opening round, Phillips, a 2022 University of Georgia first-team All-American, finished the opening nine of his first round, in style, making an eagle at Dundarave Golf Course’s 18th hole. He eagled that hole again the following day, this time to close his round. As a bonus, he had eagled the par-4 16th about 20 minutes earlier. In the third round, Phillips’ fourth eagle of the week came at the par-5 fourth hole, and suddenly in the space of 40 holes played, he had as many eagles as the leaders in that statistical category coming into the week. Over his final 32 holes of the tournament, Phillips recorded no more eagles, but going into the Tour’s break in the action, he is tied for the Total Eagles lead, with Luke Schniederjans, J.T. Griffin and Calum Masters.
2. Will there be volatility atop the Fortinet Cup standings all year? In 2019, PGA TOUR Canada’s last full, official season, only Jake Knapp and eventual champion Paul Barjon held the top spot on the Points List during the course of the 12-week campaign. In 2018, after early top-of-the-list position juggling by Jordan Niebrugge and Sam Fidone, Zach Wright and Tyler McCumber settled into the No. 1 spot, Wright holding it for five weeks until McCumber, the eventual winner, wrested it away for the final five weeks of the season—and Player of the Year honors. This year, already three different players have held down the No. 1 position—the latest, Brian Carlson, taking over from Wil Bateman who took his turn at the top when he supplanted week-one leader Scott Stevens.
3. Cooper Dossey is nothing if not consistent. The Texan has been lurking all season, with a pair of top-10s in his three starts and one of 17 players to make all three cuts in 2022. What has set Dossey apart has been his uncanny reliability. In 12 official rounds, Dossey, the former Baylor All-American, has signed for 12 under-par scores, with eight of those scores in the 60s. His worst round of the year was a 1-under 71 last week in the second round of the Prince Edward Island Open presented by IMB Solutions. Dossey’s round-by-round stroke averages belie that consistency: 67.67 (first round); 68.0 (second round); 67.33 (third round); 68.0 (final round). Dossey has a way to go to match what Paul Barjon did in 2019. The current PGA TOUR player was under-par in each of his first 28 rounds to begin the season. Barjon’s 28 consecutive is still PGA TOUR Canada’s all-time record.
4. Brian Carlson seemingly figured out things in the third round. A year ago, playing as a PGA TOUR Canada member on the Forme Tour, three times Carlson had third-round scores of 74 that certainly hampered him and prevented him from getting any higher than 15th on the final Points List. His third-round stroke average of 70.29 in those eight tournaments was his only average in the 70s in 2021. In the opening two events of the 2022 season, on his way to a tie for 21st in Victoria and a tie for 45th in Edmonton, again his third-round play held him back. Carlson shot a 2-over 72 and a 3-over 74, respectively, in Victoria and Edmonton. Last week at the Prince Edward Island Open, no such third-round struggles existed as the former Purdie Boilermaker shot a 6-under 66, thanks to eight birdies and two bogeys. Carlson went on to win the tournament by a stroke, following that 66 with a closing 65 at Dundarave Golf Course.
5. Kieran Vincent’s putter can get hot. The first-year pro from Zimbabwe, who earned PGA TOUR Canada membership at the Weston, Florida, Qualifying Tournament in February, is the only player this year with two streaks of four consecutive birdies. The former Liberty University star first poured in four birdies in a row at the season-opening Royal Beach Victoria Open presented by Times Colonist. At Uplands Golf Club, he birdied Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 9 on his way to a third-round, 3-under 67. Last week at Dundarave Golf Course, Vincent birdied holes 8-11 in the final round, using that hot streak to eventually tie for 14th.

Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie will no longer hold a lavish bash to celebrate their wedding at Chequers after a fierce backlash.
The Mirror revealed the couple had planned a party at the grace and favour mansion later this month to mark their marriage - and sources claimed the do was part of the reason Mr Johnson wanted to cling on in Downing Street.
But allies of the Prime Minister, who announced he was resigning yesterday, denied the suggestion it was part of his decision to stay on as PM until a new Tory leader was appointed.
A No10 source confirmed there would be change of venue for the glamorous bash amid a backlash over the plans.
It comes shortly after Education Secretary James Cleverly said it would be "churlish" to deny the couple their party at the 16th Century mansion.
Mr and Mrs Johnson tied the knot in May 2021 in a secret ceremony at Westminster Cathedral in London, followed by a small bash in the Downing Street garden.
They were only allowed 30 guests under the Covid rules at the time, so a large party was planned for later this month to let them celebrate with family and friends.
But doubts were cast over this plan when Mr Johnson finally said he would step down as PM, which means he loses the right to use Chequers when his successor is appointed.
One Tory source told the Mirror: "It beggars belief that even after all the criticism Johnson has faced regarding integrity and probity, one of the reasons he is staying is to have his wedding party at Chequers.
"It's a national asset not his personal home. The Johnsons should do the decent thing and find a different venue. And Boris should do the decent thing and leave No 10 immediately".
A second insider added: "It's crass if it goes ahead."
But a spokesman for Mr Johnson said: "The PM has a strong sense of duty and will continue to serve his country until a new leader is in place solely to continue his obligation to the public."
Mr Cleverly, who admitted he had not been invited, was asked if the Johnsons should still be allowed to have the lavish party if a new PM has been appointed.
He told the Today programme: "I think that if that is done by that point in time, I suspect that it would be a rather generous action of the new Prime Minister to allow that to go ahead.
"Private functions like that do not impose a burden on the public purse."
He went on: "Like so many people - many, many people across the country had their wedding plans and celebrations disrupted because of Covid.
"I think it's churlish to be negative about two people who want to celebrate their marriage and their love for each other.
"Other people are doing it in their own ways around the country."

The overwhelming majority of gun owners are in favor of universal background checks, of raising the minimum age to buy guns to 21 and so-called "red flag" laws to remove guns from potentially dangerous people, a new NPR/Ipsos survey finds.
But most of these gun owners also don't want to see an AR-15-style semiautomatic weapon ban, doubt new gun-control measures would do anything to stop mass shootings and Republican gun owners in particular think passing new gun control laws is a slippery slope toward taking all guns away.
"This NPR/Ipsos survey of American gun owners shows that the majority of gun owners are supportive of moderate gun control measures like background checks or increased age requirements, but harbor deep distrust of government suggesting the barriers that exist to more actions on guns," said Chris Jackson, senior vice president with Ipsos.
The survey of 1,022 adults with at least one gun was conducted from June 15 to 21, before the mass shooting in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, but after those in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points. There were 445 Republicans interviewed, 389 independents and 183 Democrats. (Five people declined to answer.)
Support for some gun-control measures
More than 8 in 10 gun owners said they are in favor of universal background checks for all gun sales, including private sales and at gun shows. That's similar to the almost 9 in 10 of all Americans who say so in other surveys.
Roughly two-thirds or more are in favor of raising the minimum age to buy an assault-style weapon to 21 (72%), raising the age to buy any kind of gun to 21 (67%) and red flag laws (65%).
Loading...
"As a gun owner myself, both pistols and hunting rifles, I feel that it's important that background checks, red flag laws and raising the age should be something that we as a country should be doing," said poll respondent Christopher Montes of Connecticut.
Montes, a self-declared independent, said there are simply too many guns in the wrong hands.
Recently passed legislation expanded background checks on those between the ages of 18 and 21 looking to purchase a gun, offered incentives for states to pass red flag laws and eliminated the so-called "boyfriend loophole," which expanded on a law that prevented spouses convicted of domestic abuse from owning a gun.
"While this bill doesn't do everything I want, it does include actions I've long called for that are going to save lives," President Biden said before signing the legislation.
Among other things, Biden wanted to see a return to a ban on AR-15-style semi-automatic weapons, the kind seen in recent mass shootings that can fire many rounds quickly.
But there is less support for an outright assault-style weapons ban among gun owners as opposed to other gun-control measures, with 55% opposed to such a ban. There was a sharp split by party, with 72% of Republican gun owners and a slim majority of independents (53%) opposed, and 84% of Democratic gun owners in favor.
Other surveys, including ones conducted for NPR, have found majority support for this kind of measure when non-gun owners are factored in. There was a ban on such weapons for 10 years beginning in the mid-1990s. When it expired, mass shootings increased threefold.
"I do support that [an assault-style weapons ban] because I think that we should be protecting our kids," said poll participant Lizzie, a 45 year old self-described conservative who lives in West Texas. She didn't want her last name used.
She said she's fed up with the horrific stream of mass shootings — at elementary schools, grocery stores, and Fourth of July parades.
"We don't need to be losing kids like that," she added. "They should grow up and be who they want to, and fulfill their dreams. You know, they're just too innocent to die so young."
Fred, a 73 year old Republican gun owner in Bakersfield, Calif., agreed.
"Get rid of the AR-15s, get rid of all of that kind of stuff, and do better background checks," he said. "It's made for war. It is not made to hunt with, it is made to kill, okay? Regular people have no business owning them. That's part of the problem we have."
But others disagree.
"I'm not for banning any of them," said Montes, the independent gun owner from Connecticut, who supports some gun-control measures. "If they're going to ban again just ARs, that doesn't make sense. There are other high-powered, fairly high capacity guns that don't look like ARs. And so are you going to not ban those?"
Amber, a Republican police officer from Pennsylvania, sees any AR-style ban as unnecessary and unconstitutional.
"I don't believe in banning them because I believe that everyone should have the right to bear arms, who legally owns arms in the United States. I don't think we should take the right from American citizens who own guns legally, who should have guns."
Weapons, like machine guns and rocket launchers and other "destructive devices," are technically legal at a federal level, but highly regulated and require strict background checks.
About one in five gun owners say they own AR-15 style semi-automatic rifles, including a quarter of Republicans. When asked if "people like me" need to own such weapons, 45% of gun owners said no, while 35% said yes. But there was a big partisan split. Three-quarters of Democrats said no, but only about half of independents and a third of Republicans said no.
The numbers highlight the sharp partisan lines that emerge when it comes to more high-powered types of guns – and the difficulty in getting broad support to restrict them.
By far, pistols are what most respondents own (73%), followed by rifles (57%) and shotguns (56%). Most gun owners (70%) say they own more than one gun with a quarter saying they own six or more.
People said they own guns mostly for their own protection (79%) or to protect their families (78%) and because they enjoy shooting for sport (54%).
Less than half (46%) said it's because they're exercising their constitutional right to do so, though there was a partisan split on that with six in 10 Republicans saying that's why they do versus just 17% of Democrats. Democrats were also less likely to say they own a gun for sport (34%).
Distrust of government
Despite the potential support for some gun-control measures among gun owners, when you dig deeper there is a clear distrust of government, especially among Republicans, who make up the plurality of gun owners in the survey.
Just a quarter of gun owners overall said they have trust in the federal government to look out for their best interests. (An even lower 16% said so of the news media.)
Loading...
A slim majority believe passing new gun control laws is a slippery slope toward taking away all guns. Three-quarters of Republicans thought so as did about half of independents.
Sixty percent of Republican gun owners said the government wants to take away all guns, and 55% of them said passing new gun control laws goes against their Second Amendment rights.
Notably, the National Rifle Association doesn't have as much sway with gun owners as the group's power in Washington might suggest. Gun owners are largely split on the gun lobbying group, with 53% saying they have not very much or no trust at all in the NRA.
Again, there's a big partisan divide with three-quarters of Republicans saying they trust the NRA versus just a third of independents and 12% of Democrats.
The NRA has seen its share of troubles over the past couple of years, from internal strife to a lawsuit alleging self-dealing to filing for bankruptcy. Still, the group seems to control the narrative in response to mass shootings, from former President Trump on down to congressional Republicans.
Overall, 61% think passing new gun laws won't do anything to stop mass shootings, including almost 8 in 10 Republicans and 56% of independents.
Not surprisingly, most gun owners say it's more important to protect gun rights (56%) than control gun violence (43%), though there is a major partisan split – eight in 10 Republicans say it's more important to protect gun rights, while almost nine in 10 Democrats who own guns say the priority should be controlling gun violence.
Their top concern is like other Americans – inflation. Sixty percent said so. Political extremism and polarization were second (33%), followed by government budget and debt (27%), crime or gun violence, immigration and climate change (26% each).

Tasmanians Encouraged To Continue Practising COVID-Safe Behaviours Amid Fourth Wave
Masks are encouraged
Getty
As COVID-19 sub-variants, including BA4 and BA5, spark case numbers in Tasmania, residents are being reminded to remain vigilant and continue practicing COVID-safe behaviours – including wearing masks.
Tasmania recorded 1,728 cases today, bring the state’s active cases past 8,000 and sparking the public health director Mark Veitch to announce the island state is amid its “fourth wave” of infections.
Stay up-to-date on the latest news with The Tasmania Briefing - keeping you in the loop with news as it hits:
"We can expect relatively high case numbers for the next at least month or so, so we are into the substantial wave of infection," he said.
"We are seeing a wave of Omicron BA.5 infections; this is the fifth wave of infection that has occurred nationally, and the fourth wave of infection that has occurred in Tasmania.”
Premier Jeremy Rockliff the rise in positive cases isn’t a surprise as it cools down, but Tasmanians should continue to look after their health.
“As Tasmania continues our transition to live with COVID-19, we urge Tasmanians to remain vigilant and keep up COVID-safe behaviours,” he said.
“We are a highly vaccinated State and nation, but it’s important to take personal responsibility and continue to stay up to date with your vaccinations.
“Continue to wash your hands and sanitise, and if you want to wear a mask in public places – it is your personal choice to do so, which we encourage.
“The increase in cases is not surprising and is occurring nationally as we progress through the coldest months of winter, and the fact that people tend to be socialising more indoors than in the warmer months.
“We expect this wave will peak in the coming months, and while the Public Health Emergency is over, we have always been clear that COVID remains in our community.”
BA4 and BA5 are sub-variants of the Omicron strain which are expected to become the most dominant form of the COVID-19 variant.
It was first detected in South Australia at the start of the year and are more infectious and better at evading immunity from vaccinations and previous infections.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was declared dead by the local hospital authority, where he was admitted after being shot on Friday during a speech in the city of Nara in western Japan.Nicknamed "the Prince," Abe was born to a political family in 1954. His father, Shintaro Abe, was Japan's former foreign minister, while his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi served as prime minister in 1957 and 1960.Abe took that office in 2006, while Japan's economy was struggling to recover from the 1998 Asian crisis. His first term, which was highly scandalous, ended in a year. However, Japanese voters had faith in him and re-elected Abe as prime minister in 2012 for eight years. He resigned in 2020, citing health issues.

Despite his retirement from the prime ministership, Abe remained engaged in politics.Many labeled Abe's economic policy as "hawkish," it was dubbed "Abenomics," and delivered the Japanese economy from over a decade of stagnation.As his policy successfully reeled in the Asian crisis, he gained an international reputation.During Abe's premiership, Russia - Japan relations witnessed an upturn, raising the prospect of signing a peace treaty between the two nations. Abe and Russia's President Vladimir Putin agreed to consider joint economic activity in the Kuril Islands, a Pacific Ocean archipelago that became part of Russia in 1945 after World War Two.In 2018, Putin and Abe agreed to accelerate peace treaty talks on the basis of a Soviet-era joint declaration.Abe also reshaped not only Japan's military policy but also formalized the idea of Quad — a four-way alliance brining together India, Australia, and the US. Quad was founded in 2007 but remained largely passive until 2017, when the leaders of Australia, Japan, India and the US agreed to revive the format in the face of what they perceived as common threats, such as the growing influence of China.Despite geostrategic rivalry with China, Abe had pursued cooperation with President Xi Jinping.First elected to parliament in 1993, Abe established the LDP as a dominant force through a series of wins at the National Diet, Japan's legislature.However, Abe's political career was not far away from scandal, as his wife, Akie Abe, was linked to a cronyism scandal related to the sale of state-owned land to a private school operator.

Life of Shinzo Abe: Author of Abenomics & Architect of Quad Alliance
09:10 GMT 08.07.2022 (Updated: 09:49 GMT 08.07.2022) In 2006, Shinzo Abe became Japan's youngest-ever prime minister at the age of 52. Analysts label him as a key architect of the Quad, which he first proposed to tackle challenges in the Indo-Pacific region early in this century.
Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
was declared dead by the local hospital authority, where he was admitted after being shot on Friday during a speech in the city of Nara in western Japan.
Nicknamed "the Prince," Abe was born to a political family in 1954. His father, Shintaro Abe, was Japan's former foreign minister, while his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi served as prime minister in 1957 and 1960.
Abe took that office in 2006, while Japan's economy was struggling to recover from the 1998 Asian crisis. His first term, which was highly scandalous, ended in a year. However, Japanese voters had faith in him and re-elected Abe as prime minister in 2012 for eight years. He resigned in 2020, citing health issues. He has had ulcerative colitis since he was a teenager.
Before he decided to step down, Abe became the country’s longest-serving prime minister in terms of consecutive days in office, overtaking the record set by his great uncle Eisaku Sato by just four days.
Nevertheless, he remained a highly-praised leader of the largest faction in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Despite his retirement from the prime ministership, Abe
remained engaged in politics.
Many labeled Abe's economic policy as "hawkish," it was dubbed "Abenomics," and delivered the Japanese economy from over a decade of stagnation.
As his policy successfully reeled in the Asian crisis, he gained an international reputation.
During Abe's premiership, Russia - Japan relations witnessed an upturn, raising the prospect of signing a peace treaty between the two nations. Abe and Russia's President Vladimir Putin agreed to consider joint economic activity in the Kuril Islands, a Pacific Ocean archipelago that became part of Russia in 1945 after World War Two. In 2018, Putin and Abe agreed to accelerate peace treaty talks on the basis of a Soviet-era joint declaration.
Abe also reshaped not only Japan's military policy but also formalized the idea of Quad — a four-way alliance brining together India, Australia, and the US.
Quad was founded in 2007 but remained largely passive until 2017, when the leaders of Australia, Japan, India and the US agreed to revive the format in the face of what they perceived as common threats, such as the
growing influence of China.
Despite geostrategic rivalry with China, Abe had pursued cooperation with President Xi Jinping.
First elected to parliament in 1993, Abe established the LDP as a dominant force through a series of wins at the National Diet, Japan's legislature.
However, Abe's political career was not far away from scandal, as his wife, Akie Abe, was linked to a cronyism scandal related to the sale of state-owned land to a private school operator. | https://sputniknews.com/20220708/life-of-shinzo-abe-author-of-abenomics--architect-of-quad-alliance-1097097430.html | 2022-07-08T09:56:38Z | https://sputniknews.com/20220708/life-of-shinzo-abe-author-of-abenomics--architect-of-quad-alliance-1097097430.html | false | 1 |

Shinzo Abe shooting: Soon after an attack on former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday addressed the public and condemned the "barbaric" attack. He got teary-eyed as he said doctors are doing everything to save Abe. Kishida said that such kind of act is never permissible in any democracy.
Kishida said Abe is in "serious" condition, local media reported. "It is barbaric and malicious and it cannot be tolerated. We will do everything we can. At this moment, doctors are working very hard to save Mr. Abe," said Kishida.
Kishida further said that the motive behind Abe's shooting is not known. The media outlet citing government sources also reported that Abe's shooting suspect is an ex-member of Japan's Self-Defense Forces.
The Japanese PM also requested everyone to not speculate about any political ramifications at the time. Japanese Police have identified the suspect arrested for shooting former prime minister Shinzo Abe on Friday as Tetsuya Yamagami, a 41-year-old resident of Nara City, according to local media.
Earlier today Abe, 67, was rushed to hospital after he collapsed at 11.30 am (local time) during a campaign speech in the western Japanese city of Nara ahead of Sunday's elections for Japan's upper house of Parliament. Initial media reports, citing authorities said that it appeared that Abe was shot at in the chest and described the condition of the former PM as in "cardiopulmonary arrest."
Japan's public broadcaster NHK, citing police said that the suspected shooter is being held for questioning at the Nara Nishi police station and that he appears to have made the gun himself. While the police authorities were nabbing the assailant, the man did not attempt to run away.

LONDON (AP) — A field of candidates to replace departing Prime Minister Boris Johnson began to take shape Friday, even as some Conservative Party lawmakers pushed to get the scandal-tarnished leader out of office before his replacement is elected in the next couple of months.
Johnson announced his resignation on Thursday — a dizzying about-face after months spent insisting he would stay in his job amid mounting ethics scandals and growing Conservative discontent.
He quit as party leader with a statement to the nation outside 10 Downing St., but said he would stay in post as prime minister until his successor is chosen by the party. That decision didn't sit well with some of his Conservative colleagues, who worry Johnson lacks the authority to hang on, or could do mischief even as a caretaker prime minister.
James Cleverly, appointed as education secretary on Thursday after his predecessor quit during a mass exodus of ministers, defended Johnson’s decision to stay.
“It’s right that he has stood down and it’s right that he has put a team in place to continue governing whilst the selection procedure flows for his successor,” Cleverly told Sky News. “And we should do that I think pretty quickly, pretty promptly.”
Party officials are due to set out the timetable for a leadership contest on Monday, with the aim of having a winner by the end of the summer. The two-step process involves Tory lawmakers voting to reduce the field of candidates to two, who will go to a ballot of all party members across the country.
Lawmaker Tom Tugendhat, who chairs the House of Commons’ influential Foreign Affairs Committee, became the second candidate to declare he is running, after Attorney General Suella Braverman. Former Health Secretary Sajid Javid and ex-Treasury chief Rishi Sunak — whose resignations this week helped topple Johnson — are also likely contenders, along with Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace and Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
Even as contenders launch their campaigns, Johnson remains in office atop a caretaker administration formed from a dwindling band of loyalists alongside ministers who have agreed to stay in office to keep government running.
Johnson has promised not to make any major policy decisions in his remaining time, but many Conservatives say a lame-duck leader is the last thing the country needs amid Russia's war in Ukraine and a worsening cost-of-living crisis triggered by soaring food and energy prices.
Some also are wary of Johnson’s intentions after a resignation speech in which he made clear he didn't want to leave, but had failed “to persuade my colleagues that it would be eccentric to change governments when we’re delivering so much and when we have such a vast mandate.”
George Freeman, who quit as science minister on Thursday, said he worried about a leadership election being held in “a febrile moment of midsummer madness, where we choose the wrong person in a hurry because of the instability.”
Some had pushed for Johnson to give way and let Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab step in as temporary leader. But lawmaker Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, treasurer of the Conservative committee that runs party leadership contests, said “that ship has sailed.”
“We must now live with the fact that Boris Johnson will be prime minister until a successor can be voted on,” he said.
The main opposition Labour Party said that was unacceptable and vowed to call for a no-confidence vote in Johnson in the House of Commons next week, though prospects of its success were uncertain.
“He’s a proven liar who’s engulfed in sleaze and we can’t have another couple of months of this, you know,” Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said. “So they do have to get rid of him, and if they don’t, we will call a no-confidence vote because it’s pretty clear — he hasn’t got the confidence of the House or the British public.”
The brash, 58-year-old politician who took Britain out of the European Union and has been at the helm at the height of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine survived scandals over his expenses and lockdown-breaking government parties during the pandemic. He was brought down by one scandal too many — this one involving his appointment of a politician who had been accused of sexual misconduct.
Johnson faced days of questions, and gave days of conflicting answers, over what he knew about past allegations against Chris Pincher, a Conservative lawmaker who resigned as party deputy chief whip last week after allegedly groping two men at a private club. Pincher acknowledged he had got drunk and “embarrassed myself.”
Johnson offered shifting explanations about what he knew and when he knew it. That just brought concerns the prime minister couldn’t be trusted to boiling point.
Javid and Sunak, key Cabinet members who were responsible, respectively, for fighting COVID-19 and inflation, resigned within minutes of each other Tuesday, setting off a wave of departures by their colleagues.
Johnson clung to power for days, defiantly telling lawmakers on Wednesday that he had a “colossal mandate” from the voters and intended to get on with the business of governing.
His resignation the next day was a humiliating defeat for a politician whose jokey bluster brought a celebrity status unmatched in British politics — but who was accused of behaving as if the rules didn't apply to him.

‘Tears on both ends’: The Origin phone call between the Saifiti twins
He might have finally stepped out of his brother’s shadow, but NSW’s latest rookie will watch replays of his twin’s State of Origin games to prepare for his baptism of fire after declaring: “I belong in this arena”.
Knights prop Jacob Saifiti will follow in Daniel’s footsteps after controversially winning the nod from Parramatta’s Reagan Campbell-Gillard for the final spot in the series decider at Suncorp Stadium.
Saifiti, 26, returned to Blues camp in Kingscliff on Friday after sharing an emotional phone call with Daniel to relay news of his Origin selection - three years after sitting in the Optus Stadium stands to watch Daniel play his first game for NSW.
“I got straight on the phone to Daniel,” Jacob said. “I gave him a call and there were a lot of tears. The first thing is he congratulated me and he was pretty emotional. He said, ‘just be ready and get your lungs ready. Expect the unexpected because it’s nothing like you think it’s going to be. It’s a lot harder’.
“But it does [show how much it means]. I’m not a religious person, but I believe everything happens for a reason and I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
Saifiti arrived on the state’s far north coast the same day as Sharks veteran Dale Finucane, who played in Cronulla’s thumping win over the Storm at PointsBet Stadium on Thursday night.
Cowboys halfback Chad Townsend was also released from isolation after suffering a bout of gastro. Townsend is acting as back-up to NSW’s No.7 Nathan Cleary.
Saifiti has taken the spot of Jordan McLean, who was poised to be NSW’s fifth-oldest debutant before picking up a hamstring strain at training on Thursday.
It prompted a flurry of phone calls to ensure Saifiti was withdrawn from Newcastle’s match against South Sydney on Friday night so he could follow Daniel’s lead from 2019.
“I wasn’t sure who they were going to bring in,” Saifiti said. “There were about 30 minutes from when the news broke until when I got the call. In that time I was thinking, ‘maybe they were bringing in someone else’.
“I was waiting. Then Parry [team manager Peter Parr] called me and said, ‘yeah mate, you’re in’. I really feel for Macca [McLean] because he was good to me when I came into camp. It’s my opportunity and I may never get to put this jersey on again, so I’m going to play it like it’s my last game.
“I was just in awe [when Daniel debuted in 2019]. I remember being in the crowd looking around thinking, ‘this is pretty cool’. Midway through last year I thought it was a possibility and Bedsy [Danny Buderus] said game three when Daniel went down I was going to be in the squad, but I couldn’t train fully that week. At that stage, I had no idea I was even in the picture.
“That’s when I realised I could probably put on a blue jumper one day and here we are.
“It’s been a full circle moment since 2019. I wish I was out there with [Daniel], but I’ll do him proud.”
Daniel was one of the Blues’ best in last year’s series but has struggled with injury and form this season to the point where he was struggling to keep his NSW spot before being injured prior to game one.
Asked whether he would watch video of his brother to get ready for the decider, Jacob said: “I probably will. I have thought about it. I’ve got pretty good memories of game one and game two last year. I’ll watch his game very closely and what he does, quick play-the-balls for the spine and aggression in defence.”

Dynasty Gold starts Thundercloud exploration program, Ontario
Dynasty Gold Corp. [DYG-TSXV; DGDCF-OTC; D5G-FSE] has commenced its summer 2022 exploration program in its 100%-owned Thundercloud gold property, located 47 km southwest of Dryden, northwestern Ontario.
The field program will begin with a detailed, high resolution, drone supported airborne magnetic survey over the Pelham and West Contact zone exploration areas, and is expected to start in early/mid-July 2022. This work has been contracted to Pioneer Exploration, a leading geophysical contractor specializing in unmanned aerial surveys. It will involve approximately 200-line kilometers of flying at 50 metre spacing, centred on a mineralized corridor defined by a Teck Resources’ earlier exploration work.
The new magnetic survey will be an improvement on historical geophysical surveys that were conducted along relatively widely spaced survey lines, and in the case of the Pelham area were in part sub-parallel to known mineralized structures. New airborne magnetic survey data together with past trenching data is expected to generate new drill targets in the West Contact Zone and define the geometry of the magnetic units associated with the gold mineralization at Pelham. This survey is expected to be completed within a week of startup.
The new geophysical data will also assist in prioritising drill targets in the Pelham Zone. The first phase of drilling in the Pelham Zone will be aimed at expanding an NI 43-101 Inferred resource of 182,000 oz gold by testing the interpreted down dip and down-plunge extensions of the known mineralization occurring in altered gabbros. Initially, up to 3000 meters of drilling is planned.
New drill data generated from this drilling will allow the company to evaluate the existing resource model and design additional drill holes to test mineralization at depth and down plunge. Possible updating of the NI 43-101 resource report is being considered for later this year, together with the drilling data from 15 historic drill holes that were omitted from the initial NI 43-101 resource report.
Highlights of the omitted drilling data that will be incorporated into an updated NI 43-101 include drill hole 86-PL-06 that returned 2.13 metres of 14.33 g/t gold and hole 88-PH-10 that returned 125 metres of 1.74 g/t gold, including 3 metres of 14.85 g/t gold and 1 metres of 38.39 g/t gold.
In the West Contact Area south of Pelham, and time permitting, a second phase of drilling which is expected to be about 1,500 meters, will test new mineralization located by trenching in 2021 and several untested Induced Polarization anomalies with coincident gold-in-soil positive geochemical anomalous zones.
Across the property, there are a large number of isolated, single samples with highly elevated anomalous gold values taken in soils from a previous work program. A comprehensive sampling program is being planned to follow up on these anomalous values with 25-meter spacing soil sampling around each site, time permitting this season. Positive results will be investigated by additional trenching and /or future drilling. | https://resourceworld.com/dynasty-gold-starts-thundercloud-exploration-program-ontario/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dynasty-gold-starts-thundercloud-exploration-program-ontario | 2022-07-08T10:17:45Z | https://resourceworld.com/dynasty-gold-starts-thundercloud-exploration-program-ontario/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dynasty-gold-starts-thundercloud-exploration-program-ontario | false | 1 |
The International Boxing Hall of Fame might have to build a new wing to host all the inductees after this weekend’s ceremonies.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. alone makes Sunday’s event one of the most anticipated in years. Add in fighters like Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward and Bernard Hopkins — as well as some pioneering women — and the boxing hall in tiny Canastota, New York, figures to fill up quickly.
The last two ceremonies were canceled because of the pandemic. So there’s a three-year class of 27 fighters — and 36 honorees in total — that should appeal to even the most casual boxing fan.
That includes a new women’s category headed by Laila Ali and Christy Martin, who shot to fame when she was featured on some of Mike Tyson’s fight cards in the 1990s.
Organizers say all the fighters are expected to be there except one. Former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is in Ukraine alongside his brother, Vitali, helping run the capital city of Kyiv during the ongoing war against invading Russia. Vitali Klitschko, mayor of Kyiv and also a former heavyweight champ, was inducted in 2018.
There are so many fighters that the event will be held at a nearby casino instead of in Canastota. Instead of fighting each other, the inductees will find themselves fighting for time for their acceptance speeches in the biggest induction ever for the small hall that honors boxing’s greatest.
Here’s a look at some of the inductees:
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. — One of the all-time greats, and certainly one of the best defensive fighters ever. His 50-0 record suggests perfection but Mayweather will probably best be known more for how he capitalized on his career better than any fighter before him. He invented the Money May persona, but the money was very real, including the estimated $200 million he made to fight Manny Pacquiao in the richest fight ever. Mayweather also banked similar money to fight UFC’s Conor McGregor, and his record as a pay-per-view king may stand for a long time. Is he the greatest fighter ever as he claims? No, but that doesn’t stop him from being in the conversation.
BERNARD HOPKINS — The Executioner was certainly one of the greatest middleweights of all time, with a record 20 straight defenses of the middleweight title he won in 1995. Hopkins would later move up to 175 pounds, and set a record as oldest champion when he beat Jean Pascal at the age of 46 to win the light heavyweight title. Two years later, he won the title again at the age of 48. Hopkins made his biggest payday when he stopped Oscar De La Hoya with a body punch in their 2004 showdown, then won again when he joined De La Hoya as a shareholder in Golden Boy Promotions. Not only a great fighter, but a great talker, especially when it comes to his career.
ROY JONES JR. — In his prime he was a masterful blend of speed and power, so shifty that opponents struggled to even hit him. Jones had a gold medal stolen from him in the 1988 Olympics, but went on to win titles in four different weight classes. One of those titles came at heavyweight when he beat John Ruiz in 2003, but the drastic move up from light heavyweight took a toll on Jones, who would go on to lose three of his next four fights at 175 pounds. His legacy was diluted further because he fought another 15 years after that with middling results.
WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO — One of two hulking heavyweight brothers who grew up in the Soviet boxing system, Klitschko’s career nearly ended in 2004 when he was stopped by Lamon Brewster. He would come back from that defeat to dominate the heavyweight division for nearly a decade, fighting most of the time in Germany, where he had a big fan base. More casual fans didn’t like his careful style but Klitschko showed he could brawl, too, when he dropped Anthony Joshua before 90,000 people in London before being stopped in 2017 in what would be his last fight. Klitschko has been in Ukraine with his brother, Vitali, since Russia invaded their country.
CHRISTY MARTIN — Her story was as compelling as her fights, and Martin had a big stage on the undercard of some of Tyson’s pay-per-view fights. She was a gritty fighter who moved forward constantly and her bloody match with Deirdre Gogarty on a Tyson undercard in 1996 made a lot of boxing fans realize that women’s fights were real. Martin would later be shot and stabbed by her husband and trainer, who is currently serving a prison term. Also inducted on the women’s side is Laila Ali, who carried the weight of her famous father’s name as she campaigned her way to a 24-0 record at a time women’s boxing wasn’t taken seriously.
OTHERS — Take your pick among a group of deserving candidates including Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto, Andre Ward, Shane Mosley and James Toney. All are top fighters who could headline any other ceremony that didn’t include some of the greatest ever.

Sahara Desert, Kalahari Desert and Two Other Amazing Deserts in Africa
- Africa is blessed to have amazing deserts like the Sahara and Kalahari deserts, among others which cover about one-third of the continent
- The deserts across Africa have beautiful landscapes, but erratic weather conditions, which can make it a harsh place to live
- The deserts have been a part of Africa's rich history, culture, and heritage which tell an impressive story of the continent's people and wildlife

The deserts in Africa are the areas that receive the least amount of rainfall annually. Yet, they combine stunning beauty and natural curiosity, including volcanic mountains, dunes, and chalk-rock formations. In this article, YEN.com.gh shows where Africa's most amazing deserts are.
Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert is the most popular in Africa. It is also the largest continental desert and the second-hottest in the world.
It spans Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Eritrea, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morroco, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan, and Tunisia. The desert has an area of about 3.5 million square miles.

Kalahari Desert
The Kalahari Desert covers Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. It covers 350,000 square miles and is distinguished by its towering dunes and enormous salt pans left behind by long-since dried-up lakes.
The Kalahari is home to lions, brown hyenas, meerkats, antelopes, and a large diversity of birds and reptiles because of the availability of water that runs through it, made possible by the Okavango River.
Libyan Desert
The Libyan Desert covers areas of Libya, Egypt, and Sudan. The Libyan Desert is one of the driest and most desolate deserts in the world due to its harsh temperature and lack of rivers. The desert covers an area of 420,000 square miles.
With great care, Yesenia Lacayo transfers a tiny frog from a leaf, where it was sleeping, to a plastic container with breathing holes, some water, and enough room to jump.
The Libyan Desert comprises various landscapes, including mountain ranges, sand plains, plateaus, dunes, and oases.
Namib Desert
The Namib Desert covers an area of 31,200 square miles and countries like Namibia, Angola, and South Africa. As the oldest desert in the world, the Namib Desert is considered to have been formed roughly 80 million years ago. Namib's powerful winds are responsible for some of the planet's tallest dunes, some of which rise more than 1,100 feet.
Newly Constructed Bosomtwe Girls STEM High School Opens For Admission
In an earlier article, YEN.com.gh wrote about how a STEM school opens for admissions in the Ashanti region. The Bosomtwe Girls STEM High School was purposely built to further the learning of science and technology among young girls.
The government believes that the establishment of the school will go a long way to empower the girl-child in science, engineering, maths, and technology.

Jennifer Lopez uses this volumizing hair spray
Jennifer Lopez was recently in Doha, Qatar, for a private concert. For the occasion, she showed off soft waves, much loved by the artist, whose hair is now iconic. JLo’s famed hairdresser Andrew Fitzsimons, whose clients include the likes of Megan Fox, Camila Cabello and all the Kardashian-Jenners, provided a step-by-step guide on how to get the look, including boosting hair volume with a dry spray, formulated with caffeine. The hair stylist used a product from her hair line, Volume Body Blowdry Hold Spray.
Ideal for fine and thin hair, this texturizing and volumizing spray keeps the perfect shape of blow-dried hair. Lift the roots to add volume and ensure curvy, brushable locks that retain their flexibility. In Italy the product is not yet available, but it is not excluded that it will be in the coming years, as well as many other beauty allies, who come from the States.
Other products loved by Jennifer Lopez.
The singer revealed to Andy Cohen in 2014 that she is a longtime fan of Dr. Hauschka’s Rose Day Cream, a brand also loved by Jennifer Aniston. In 2016, JLo revealed to People that she loves L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal anti-aging day cream. If the Latin American star wants to look tanned on the red carpet, she uses Scott Barnes’ Body Bling Bronzer lotion.
Another mask the star makes to make her hair flawless is Chris Appleton’s Money Mask Deep Hydrating & Strengthening Hair Treatment, another hairdresser she relies on for her hair. In the beauty case of the diva there is also Rosewater Balancing Mist by Jurlique, a refreshing spray, formulated to hydrate and soften the skin.
Appleton has revealed that she uses a specific beauty ally on her client to cover the regrowth of white hair, a temporary solution while waiting for the next color. Let’s talk about Color Wow Root Cover Up, a powder that can be applied with a brush, which acts as a corrector for white hair, as easy to remove as it is to apply. | https://codelist.biz/2022/07/08/jennifer-lopez-uses-this-volumizing-hair-spray/ | 2022-07-08T10:22:31Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/07/08/jennifer-lopez-uses-this-volumizing-hair-spray/ | false | 1 |

After two summers with the Morocco-Spanish frontier closed, this July has seen the restart in earnest of the annual 'Operation Crossing the Strait'. This is the special arrangements by the authorities to speed up the journey back to North Africa for the summer holidays of hundreds of thousands of Moroccans and Algerians who live in Europe.
The busiest crossing routes are from Algeciras to Tangier in Morocco and to Spanish Ceuta on the African coast. However, despite fluid road journeys through Spain and a short wait at Algeciras for a ferry, things have not been going smoothly on the land border between Ceuta and Morocco.
Last weekend there were waits of up to nine hours to clear border controls, with up to 900 cars waiting at a time in extreme heat. Some families had been travelling for over two days. Morocco's requirement for a Covid test result and only one lane to process passengers was being blamed.
The special operation is seeing record numbers using Spanish ports. In the first two weeks since officially starting on June 15, 188,253 passengers were recorded as crossing to Morocco or Algeria.
Passengers sailing from Malaga port to Spanish Melilla, before entering Morocco, were up 62 per cent alone on 2019 so far said local sources. | https://www.surinenglish.com/spain/transport-operation-north-20220708092139-ntvo.html | 2022-07-08T10:27:09Z | https://www.surinenglish.com/spain/transport-operation-north-20220708092139-ntvo.html | false | 1 |

Members of the Bajrang Dal and the BJP in Bihar’s Nawada district on Thursday burnt effigies of TMC MP Mahua Moitra and the director of the documentary film ‘Kaali’, Leena Manimekalai, claiming that they have hurt the sentiments of the Hindu community.
Talking to reporters, Jitendra Pratap, the Bajrang Dal in charge of Nawada, said “disrespect to any Hindu or Goddess will not be tolerated”.
“A large number of Bajrang Dal and BJP workers gathered at Prajatantra Chowk in Nawada to burn effigies of Mahua Moitra and Leena Manimekalai. Both of them hurt the beliefs of Hindus,” he said.
BJP Mahila Morcha district vice president, Madhavi Barnwal, who was also present at the protest site, told reporters that the poster of the film, which shows a woman dressed as Goddess Kali smoking a cigarette and holding a pride flag, was “quite objectionable”.
In Patna, BJP workers claimed that they had visited the Kotwali police station to file a complaint against the two women, but got snubbed. “The station house officer (SHO) at Kotwali police station refused to accept our complaint. The cops misbehaved with us,” said senior state BJP leader Barun Kumar Singh.
The personnel at the police station, however, declined to comment on the matter.
Moitra had on Tuesday kicked up controversy at a conclave by saying that she had every right as an individual to imagine Goddess Kali as a meat-eating and alcohol-accepting deity, as each person had his or her unique way of offering prayers.
Manimekalai, too, faced criticism for the poster of her new film, with several FIRs lodged against her in Bihar as well as other states such as Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.

Parts of the UK will experience a heatwave over the weekend, with hot temperatures expected to last for a week.
The UK is set to be hotter than the likes of Los Angeles, Marbella and Santorini today (8 July) as temperatures reach 28C by the afternoon, kicking off the run of sunny days.
London, the South East and Eastern England will see highs of 28C and 26C today, while temperatures will be slightly cooler in the South West, the Midlands, and North West at 25C.
Health warning over extreme temperatures
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued a level 2 heat-health alert warning ahead of the heatwave, as the Met Office forecasts the hot weather to last throughout next week.
The alert is in place from 9am on Monday 11 July until Friday 15 July, and covers the East of England, South East and London regions.
A level 2 alert is triggered as soon as there is a 60% risk that temperature thresholds will be reached in one or more regions on at least two consecutive days and the night in between.
For an official Met Office heatwave, specific temperatures thresholds based on a particular region must be met for three consecutive days.
The last heatwave in the UK was three weeks ago, with 17 June marking the hottest day of the year so far at close to 33C.
David Oliver, Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “We’re at the start of a stretch of warm weather for much of England and Wales, that could last for much of next week.
“In the short term, many can expect temperatures in the mid to high 20s Celsius over the weekend and then in the low 30s Celsius during the start of next week.
“Much of next week will remain warm for the time of year, as well as dry and sunny.”
Today is forecast to be dry and sunny across England and Wales, with the warm weather to continue over the weekend and into early next week. The North West may experience slightly cooler temperatures and see some cloud and light rain.
Symptoms to spot in the heat
The UKHSA is urging people to take care in the heat and be aware of the common signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
Heat exhaustion is not usually serious if you can cool down within 30 minutes, but if it turns into heatstroke, it needs to be treated as an emergency, the NHS says.
Key warning symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
- a headache
- dizziness and confusion
- loss of appetite and feeling sick
- excessive sweating and pale, clammy skin
- cramps in the arms, legs and stomach
- fast breathing or pulse
- a high temperature of 38C or above
- being very thirsty
The symptoms are often the same in adults and children, although children may become floppy and sleepy.
If you experience any of the symptoms, it is a sign that your body needs to be cooled down.
Drinking plenty of water and applying it to your skin will help, as well as moving to a cool, shaded spot, lying down and raising your feet slightly.
If you do not start to feel better and display any of the following signs, you should call 999 immediately:
- feeling unwell after 30 minutes of resting in a cool place and drinking plenty of water
- not sweating even while feeling too hot
- a high temperature of 40C or above
- fast breathing or shortness of breath
- feeling confused
- a fit (seizure)
- loss of consciousness
- not responsive
These symptoms are all signs you may be suffering from heatstroke which can be very serious if it is not treated quickly:
To help prevent heat exhaustion or heatstroke, the NHS recommends:
- drinking lots of cold drinks, especially when exercising
- taking cool baths or showers
- wearing light-coloured, loose clothing
- sprinkling water over skin or clothes
- avoiding the sun between 11am and 3pm
- avoiding excess alcohol
- avoiding extreme exercise
These tips will also help to prevent your body from dehydrating, as well as keeping you cool. | https://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/read-this/warning-symptoms-of-heatstroke-as-heat-health-alert-issued-3760928 | 2022-07-08T10:49:48Z | https://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/read-this/warning-symptoms-of-heatstroke-as-heat-health-alert-issued-3760928 | false | 12 |

New Delhi [India], July 8 (ANI): Former Indian Ambassador to Japan, Sujan Chinoy, on Friday said that former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was shot today during an election speech, was a colossus in the Japanese political landscape and had done a lot for Indo-Japan ties.
"We woke up to the devastating news that there has been an attempt on the life of Shinzo Abe in Nara. Greatly saddens me to comment on this situation right now. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is a colossus who strode and continues to be in our prayers today. He has done such a lot for our bilateral, special strategic and global partnership," Chinoy had told ANI before the news of Shinzo Abe's demise.
Chinoy, who was India's Ambassador to Japan from 2015-2018, mentioned that PM Abe established a personal rapport with India and had a special place in his heart.
"Several years ago, he wrote a book called Utsukushii kuni and this book was about the beautiful country and in that, he had made special mention of India. So in his first term in 2007, which was short-lived, and in his second term between 2012 and 2020, when he became Japan's longest-serving Prime Minister ever he had done a great deal for the bilateral relationship," Chinoy, who is currently DG of Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies & Analyses had said.
Former Indian envoy also called the relationship Shinzo Abe shared with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as special due to the rapport shared between the two leaders.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always given a special place to Japan in his foreign policy. And even as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he had established a great rapport with that country and with its leaders in and out of office. On the Japanese end and Prime Minister Modi always made it a point to connect with Japan's leaders, especially Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and that special relationship between the two countries and between the two prime ministers has contributed a great deal to this relationship," he had added.
As per Chinoy, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has always been someone who attached great importance to Japan's defence and security. "We have seen that after he came to power in 2012, Japan reviewed its defence export policy. Japan also reviewed its policies with regard to what we call a collective security. And Japan also time and again reviewed and reaffirmed the security alliance partnership with the United States."
Recalling his experience and his interaction with PM Abe, he said, "He's an extremely popular politician. You might call him a people person and very affable, very friendly, very down-to-earth. And in all my brief interactions with him, he was able to put me at ease. He's an extremely popular politician. You might call him a people person and very affable, very friendly, very down-to-earth. And in all my brief interactions with him, he was able to put me at ease."
Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was on Friday confirmed dead after he was shot at during a campaign speech in Nara City, western Japan, local media reported citing officials.
Abe, Japan's longest-serving prime minister, stepped down in 2020 citing health reasons. He was prime minister of Japan twice, from 2006-07 and again from 2012-20. He was succeeded by Yoshihide Suga and later by Fumio Kishida.
Earlier today Abe, 67, was rushed to hospital after he collapsed at 11.30 am (local time) during a campaign speech in the western Japanese city of Nara ahead of Sunday's elections for Japan's upper house of Parliament.
Initial media reports, citing authorities said that it appeared that Abe was shot at in the chest and described the condition of the former PM as in "cardiopulmonary arrest."
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida earlier in his live address to the country today said that his condition of Abe was grave. "This is not a forgivable act," Kishida said adding that authorities would "take appropriate measures to handle the situation."
Kishida further said that the motive behind Abe's shooting is not known. The media outlet citing government sources also reported that Abe's shooting suspect is an ex-member of Japan's Self-Defense Forces.
The Japanese PM also requested everyone to not speculate about any political ramifications at the time. Japanese Police have identified the suspect arrested for shooting Abe as Tetsuya Yamagami, a 41-year-old resident of Nara City, according to local media. (ANI)

Gantz said on Twitter that Thursday's meeting in Ramallah "was conducted in positive terms" and that the two discussed "civilian and security challenges" in the region.
"We agreed to maintain close security coordination and to avoid actions that may cause instability," Gantz said.
Abbas "stressed the importance of creating a political horizon, respecting signed agreements and stopping actions and measures that lead to the deterioration of the situation," Hussein al-Sheikh, a senior Palestinian official, said in a tweet.
Abbas also stressed the importance of having a "calm atmosphere before President Biden's visit, which we welcome".
It was the third known meeting between Abbas and Gantz since August last year, and the first since Yair Lapid took over as caretaker prime minister in Israel last week ahead of elections on Nov. 1.
Simmering tensions between Israel and the Palestinians grew more intense following the May 11 killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh during an Israeli army raid in the West Bank city of Jenin.
Palestinians say Abu Akleh was shot deliberately by an Israeli soldier. Israel denies this. The U.S. State Department said on Monday that Abu Akleh was likely killed by gunfire from Israeli positions but it was probably unintentional.
The Palestinian Authority exercises limited self-rule in parts of the West Bank. U.S.-brokered talks aimed at establishing a Palestinian state in Israeli-occupied territory collapsed in 2014 and show no sign of revival. | https://www.anews.com.tr/middle-east/2022/07/08/palestinian-president-israeli-defence-minister-meet-before-biden-visit | 2022-07-08T10:53:49Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/middle-east/2022/07/08/palestinian-president-israeli-defence-minister-meet-before-biden-visit | false | 6 |

Eskom says it expects to downgrade load shedding over the next few days with generation units set to return to service.
The state power utility has been battling to keep the lights on owing to breakdowns and a crippling strike which left power stations unmanned over the past two weeks.
"Since [Wednesday], seven generation units have been returned to service. During the same period six generating units that needed urgent repairs during the strike have been taken offline for repairs. This is made possible by the full return to work of all striking employees over the past two days.
"In addition, 600MW of capacity from the Hydroelectrica de Cahora Bassa (HCB) in Mozambique was returned to service, boosting available generation capacity.
"Over the next few days nine generation units are anticipated to return to service, which will further improve generation capacity. This will, however, still require Eskom to continue implementing load shedding for the foreseeable future until the situation has been normalised," Eskom said.
"Emergency generation reserves, which have been extensively utilised to limit the stage of load shedding over the past two weeks, have been adequately replenished and will continue to be used to limit the stage of load shedding.
"Eskom continues to closely monitor the system and will implement and communicate any changes as may be necessary," the power utility said.
The revised load shedding schedule over the weekend is as follows:
On Friday:
Stage 4 until midnight.
On Saturday:
Stage 2 from midnight to 7am.
Stage 3 from 7am to midnight.
On Sunday:
Stage 2 from midnight to 4pm
Stage 3 from 4pm to midnight | https://allafrica.com/stories/202207080215.html | 2022-07-08T10:56:22Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202207080215.html | true | 3 |
3 Tips To Nix Summer Frizz In Seconds, From A Celebrity Hairstylist
We’ve all been there: You spend several precious minutes perfecting your air-dry, then you step foot into the scorching heat and five minutes later, your strands are standing on end. Summer frizz takes no prisoners, as the water molecules from the hot, humid air can attach to the hair shafts and trigger them to frizz. And if you’re partial to frequent dips in the pool, your strands may be begging for moisture, which means they’ll look to the environment to make up for the dryness (resulting in even more frizz).
It’s a frustrating situation, especially if you have a moisturizing hair care routine on lock. But that doesn’t mean you must dunk your head in under the shower spray and start anew or opt for a slicked-back pony or bun for the rest of the season—here, we tapped celebrity hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons for his three frizz-fighting tips, so you can nix frizz and pesky flyaways in seconds.
1. Use leave-in conditioner.
This tip works two-fold: First, you’ll want to fold a leave-in into your wash day routine if you haven’t already. Frizz happens when the hair lacks moisture, so adding hydration from the get-go is key. “Look for products that have ceramides, castor oil, and coconut oil to keep your hair well hydrated all summer long,” says Fitzsimons, like his AF1 Virgin Repair 10-in-1 Leave-In Conditioner. (I can personally attest to its moisturizing capabilities—it makes detangling a breeze and leaves my strands feeling downright silky.)
But if you’re dealing with in-the-moment frizz, you can also use a leave-in on dry hair for some extra smoothing. “Leave-In conditioners are excellent because of the way they work—you don’t have to rinse it out, which means it can be applied to both dry and wet hair and prevents your hair from being weighed down,” says Fitzsimons. Simply warm up the product between your palms and glide them over frizzy areas to immediately lay the hairs back down.
2. Use a toothbrush.
“You can even use a toothbrush with a smoothing oil for a more detailed touch up,” Fitzsimons adds. (You can also grab a clean, dry spoolie, if you have one on-hand.) In terms of which product to choose, plenty of formulas feature a cocktail of nourishing oils, so feel free to pick any of our shine-inducing recommendations. Or you could always just opt for a specific standalone oil to smooth over your stands—Fitzsimons favorites are jojoba oil and argan oil, both of which are brimming with fatty acids and antioxidants to protect and strengthen strands.
To immediately nix frizz, apply your oil du jour onto the toothbrush or spoolie and brush down any hairs that refuse to lay flat. A teeny oil goes a long way here: You don’t want to glob a heavier product on precise hairs (especially if you have finer locks) or you run the risk of appearing greasy.
3. Embrace it.

Look, frizz is sexy. Scores of products aim to “tame” or “control” frizzy hair, but its rowdiness is precisely what makes it so beautiful. Frizz can offer texture and body to an otherwise lifeless mane, so who cares if you have a few errant hairs? Fitzsimons agrees: While there are ways to smooth it down if you’re hoping for a more controlled look, “I say embrace your natural frizz!” he declares.
The takeaway.
Enhancing frizzy hair is an uphill battle, but in the summertime, it’s an entirely different beast. With the extra humidity in the air, your strands may be even more prone to frizz and flyaways, even if you have ultra-hydrating hair products on rotation. Not to fret: Use Fitzsimons’ tips to smooth those strands in-the-moment and on-the-go. | https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/tips-to-nix-summer-frizz-from-celebrity-hairstylist | 2022-07-08T10:57:00Z | https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/tips-to-nix-summer-frizz-from-celebrity-hairstylist | true | 1 |
