Q: How do I choose eco-friendly garden furniture?
A: Garden furniture is designed so you can enjoy the great outdoors in comfort. But if it’s not made sustainably, then it can negatively impact on nature. Here are my tips for making an environmentally-sound choice:
Make it a long-term investment
In summer, we spend more time outdoors, so investing in good quality, sustainable garden furniture is a bright idea. Cheap and lightweight plastic furniture frequently needs replacing, causing unnecessary environmental harm. Buying better quality, hard-wearing items is a long-term investment. The longer it lasts, the better it is for the planet. And if you can still use your old furniture set, but fancy a change, then perhaps buy new cushions instead?
Go for sustainable materials
Garden furniture is often made of problematic materials. Rattan seats are extremely popular at the moment but tend to be made of plastic and can’t be recycled. This means they’ll end up in landfill. Metal furniture, such as tables and chairs made from aluminium, uses a huge amount of energy to produce. So what is the solution?
Wood is the best choice. It’s renewable and can be easily repurposed or recycled. There is a wide range of products made from both softwoods, such as pine, and hardwoods, such as oak, so this choice mainly comes down to your budget. Look out for furniture with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) logo, which means it’s made from responsibly-managed woodlands. Also, consider where the wood comes from. Buy European if you can.
That being said, bamboo – largely grown in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Australia and the Americas – is also a sustainable choice. It needs less water to grow than conventional timber and also grows very fast – sometimes nearly a metre a day!
Care for your furniture
Rain can lead to mould and rust, while heavy winds can blow furniture over and cause breakages. Without proper care, garden furniture will need to be replaced more frequently. To make it last, take good care of your furniture – oiling wood, fixing breaks and covering it when it rains.
Shop ethically
If it’s time to replace your garden furniture, you could shop second-hand. You can find real bargains! The websites Preloved, Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree are good places to start. If you can’t find anything suitable and decide to shop for something new, you could look online at Sustainable Furniture, Iron Fire and Chunky Reclaimed Furniture. On the high street, you can buy FSC accredited garden furniture in Aldi, Asda, John Lewis and Robert Dyas.
Celebrity spot
Music legend Kate Bush’s multi-million pound mansion is hanging on a cliff edge because of climate change.
The Running up that Hill singer’s home is perched on a Devon clifftop.
Unfortunately, it’s getting closer to the edge due to coastal erosion, which is getting worse because of the climate crisis.
Cliffs are crumbling faster because of sea level rise and an increase in storms. The local council’s advice is that Kate herself intervenes– by spraying the cliff with concrete – or accept her home will fall into the sea.
Green swap
Try taking a train instead of a flight, especially if not going far.
Difference in emissions is staggering.
For example, 90 per cent less if taking Eurostar instead London to Paris. Visit website ecopassenger.org to make the comparison for your journey.
How you can have a no-fly holiday anytime
We’ve become used to cheap flights and hopping over to Europe – well, certainly before COVID-19!
Yet, the truth is that flying is the most environmentally destructive mode of travel. And, what with all the airport disruptions, there are alternatives that are definitely worth exploring.
Here are some ideas you may like to consider ...
Staycations in the UK
The UK has it all: there are some beautiful beaches, there are some gorgeous coastal towns, there is some stunning countryside, there are vibrant cities and there are also some world-famous historic sights.
For example, have you seen the dramatic landscapes of the Isle of Skye, or the picture postcard villages of the Cotswolds or even the jaw-dropping views of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast?
Also, have you experienced the amazing food and drink scenes of Glasgow’s quirky West End and Brighton’s buzzing Lanes?
There are so many options for fantastic UK-based holidays, why not give one a go?
Rail travel to Europe
We really are on Europe’s doorstep. Thanks to Eurostar, you can travel by train from London to Paris in under three hours.
The journey to Brussels takes under two hours, while Amsterdam is less than four hours away.
From all of these cities, you can then take sleeper trains across the continent.
For example, you can travel overnight from Paris to Milan, or from Brussels to Vienna or from Amsterdam to Innsbruck.
You could treat yourself to the luxury of a sleeper cabin.
A more affordable way to get some kip is to book a bunk called a ‘couchette’.
Even better, you can book your entire journey on the Trainline website.
Beach lovers fear not! From Paris you go by rail to Marseilles on France’s south coast in just over three hours.
You also take a high-speed train to Barcelona in around seven hours.
From there, it’s a hop to Spain’s Costa Brava or Costa Dorada.
Go by boat
Another more eco-friendly option than flying is to go by sea.
Brittany Ferries runs services across the Bay of Biscay, from Portsmouth and Plymouth to Bilbao and Santander, on Spain’s northern Atlantic coast.
Look out for the whales and dolphins!
Travel company Trailfinders offers a range of no-fly holidays, some of which are boat-based.
You could experience the grandeur of the Norwegian Fjords or enjoy a package holiday in Brittany, western France.
The key to slow travel is to embrace the journey as part of your trip.
Spend some time in places you pass through. See it as an adventure.
Fact or fiction!
We need to keep drilling for oil and gas.
False!
Last year International Energy Agency demanded that all new oil and gas exploration stop, if we’re to meet our climate targets.
We have enough reserves. The United Nations backs this.

The actor who played mobster Paulie Walnuts on “The Sopranos” and other tough-guy roles in movies has died. Tony Sirico's longtime manager says the 79-year-old actor died Friday at an assisted living facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The cause of death wasn’t immediately released. Sirico was born in 1942 in New York City. He told the Los Angeles Times in 1990 that he became interested in acting in prison in the 1970s after he saw a performance by a group of ex-convicts. Among his other film credits are Woody Allen's “Bullets over Broadway” and “Mighty Aphrodite.” Sirico appeared on TV series including “Miami Vice” and voiced roles on “Family Guy” and “American Dad!”

A fashion designer whose accessories have been used by celebrities and featured in museums has been arrested in Colombia and faces extradition to the United States on charges of smuggling crocodile handbags. Colombian prosecutors on Friday announced the arrest of Nancy Gonzalez, who could face up to 25 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. While the sale of some crocodile skins is legal, it requires a certificate, which can be costly and hard to obtain. Investigators say that Gonzalez smuggled hundreds of handbags by paying passengers to carry them in their personal luggage on flights to the United States

Ten months after Hurricane Ida damaged a museum celebrating New Orleans' African American parading culture, the Backstreet Cultural Museum is reopening. The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reports that a parade is planned Saturday from the original building to the new museum site blocks away. The founder's daughter says the former bar where the museum is now located is smaller than the first building. Dominique Dilling-Francis says that means she will have to rotate exhibits rather than showing everything in the collection at once. Hurricane Ida left holes in the roof and water inside the original building after it crashed ashore in August 2021 as a powerful Category 4 storm.

Iran’s state-run news agency is reporting that authorities have detained two filmmakers over an appeal they posted on social media, accusing them of links with opposition groups outside Iran and plotting to undermine the country's state security. IRNA reported on Friday that authorities arrested Mohamad Rasoulof and Mostafa Al-Ahmad. The two are accused of posting a statement asking members of the Iranian security forces to “put your gun down” in reference to the violent crackdown during the unrest following a May building collapse in the southwestern city of Abadan that killed at least 41 people. At least 70 Iranian filmmakers signed the appeal.

An actor best known for the 1960s TV Western spoof “F Troop” has died. Larry Storch, who played Corporal Agarn, died early Friday. His manager says the actor died of natural causes. “F Troop” lasted only two seasons on ABC, from 1965 to 1967, but it became a cult favorite in reruns. While “F Troop” brought him lasting fame, Storch appeared in scores of films and TV shows before and after the series. He also enjoyed a long career in theater and as a comic at resorts in New York State’s Catskill Mountains area. Larry Storch was 99.

Even Canadian rock stars are looking introspectively – and existentially – at their role and the meaning of it all in today’s seemingly crumbling world. In her review, The Associated Press’ Kiana Doyle says Metric's new album, “Formentera” is a questioning, existentialist journey, but listeners can't help but rock out anyway. From the immersive “Doomscroller” to the bold “I Will Never Settle,” Doyle says the album is packed with expressive songs that sometimes make you want to dance and sometimes make you want to cry. “Formentera” is out Friday.

A deep dive into rock ‘n’ roll’s female pioneers like Chaka Khan, Pat Benatar, Mavis Staples and Shania Twain forms the backbone of the fascinating, four-part docuseries “Women Who Rock.” The docuseries moves chronologically from the birth of rock ‘n’ roll, where women weren’t taken seriously, to the present day, where they’ve seized both production credits and technology to blaze their own independent paths. It’s been an uphill climb for most. Director Jessica Hopper says the series offers a look at far more than just rock stars but a broader story of America. The series starts Sunday on Epix.

Tokyo [Japan], July 9 (ANI): The body of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrived at his home city, Tokyo, on Saturday, a day after he was fatally assassinated during a campaign speech in the western Japan city of Nara.
Shinzo's wife, Akie Abe travelled from Nara with the former Japanese PM's body to Tokyo, CNN reported citing Abe's office.

According to NHK World, the vehicle carrying Abe's body arrived at his home in the Shibuya district around 1:30 pm (local time).
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also arrived at the home of the assassinated former PM.

Local media has reported that a night vigil will be held on Monday and his funeral will be held on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, police are continuing the interrogation of Tetsuya Yamagami, a 41-year-old resident of Nara City, in western Japan who was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of Abe.
Abe was shot dead at close range while giving a speech in broad daylight triggering anger and shock not just in Japan but around the world as the country has one of the world's lowest rates of gun crime.
International leaders have expressed their sympathies with the family of Abe and have sent tributes expressing outrage and sadness over the killing.
As the investigation into the assassination continues, local media reports revealed that the man who was detained after Abe was shot served in the Japanese Navy for three years.
After the attack on him, Abe was rushed to hospital and initial media reports citing authorities said that it appeared that the former Japanese PM was shot at in the chest. They described his condition as in "cardiopulmonary arrest" and said he showed no vital signs.
Public broadcaster NHK later reported, citing ruling Liberal Democratic Party sources that Abe, had died. Abe died at 5:03 pm (local time) and had two gunshot wounds in his neck, according to officials from Nara Medical University Hospital.
A gun that appeared to be handmade was retrieved from the site where Abe was campaigning for a candidate ahead of Sunday's elections for Japan's upper house of Parliament.
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.
Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida earlier in his live address to the country yesterday said "this is not a forgivable act," and that authorities would "take appropriate measures to handle the situation." Kishida further said that the motive behind Abe's shooting is not known.
The Japanese PM also requested everyone to not speculate about any political ramifications at the time. (ANI)

Does buying a DSLR camera make sense in 2022? If you’re still shooting all your photos and videos on an iPhone, the answer might be yes.
DSLRs can now be realistically considered a legacy camera category, with only a handful of companies selling new models and smaller mirrorless cameras now being the more popular choice among new buyers.
But DSLRs do also represent a cheap way to get your hands on a camera with interchangeable lenses and a viewfinder – and most importantly, they still do a lot of things better than an iPhone when it comes to photography.
We’ve picked out five key areas where DSLRs still trump smartphones below. Read on and discover the ways in which you can expect to up your photo and video game by swapping your iPhone for a DSLR. And don’t forget to check out our definitive rundown of the best DSLRs you can buy right now, too – if you like what you read here, your next camera may be on that very list.
1. Optical zoom
While it’s true that a small number of smartphones offer an optical zoom, you won’t find it on a single iPhone model. The mechanics of creating a proper optical zoom lens require space, and space in a smartphone is already at a huge premium. For most phones, it simply makes more sense to use fixed focal length lenses and offer zoom via the digital method instead. The downside? When you get down to brass tacks, digital zoom is essentially just cropping a photo, and that always results in a noticeable loss of detail.
This isn’t an issue on a DSLR, which can be fitted with different lenses for different jobs. A standard zoom lens covers the wide-angle to medium-telephoto range, making it ideal for shooting everything from a landscape to a portrait, while a telephoto zoom lens is ideal if you’re mainly shooting distant subjects (wildlife or sport, for example).
Thanks to the ability to shift lens elements internally, a DSLR’s lens’ zoom is achieved optically rather than digitally, and consequently no detail is lost when you zoom up close to make a far-off subject fill the frame.
It’s also worth noting that you can still ‘digitally zoom’ into DSLR shots simply by cropping into the area you want to be larger in your final image. Cropping can always be done using basic post-production software on your computer, but some cameras offer in-camera cropping, too.
2. Dynamic range and low-light performance
Whether it's an APS-C or full-frame chip, a DSLR camera sensor is physically a lot larger than an iPhone sensor. That gives DSLRs a couple of big head starts when it comes to image quality, particular for dynamic range and low-light performance.
Dynamic range is the difference between the brightest and darkest color tones that a camera is able to capture; having a high dynamic range means that images will display a greater tonal scope, bringing extra visual detail to the brightest and darkest areas of a photo or video.
iPhones achieve this effect via bracketed shooting, merging several shots taken at different exposure settings into a single HDR image. It can work quite well in certain conditions, but it’s worth nothing DSLRs can also do this – while starting with better quality shots. That makes their higher dynamic range images all the more impactful, if a little more complex to achieve.
Low light performance has got steadily better in iPhones, but when it comes to achieving sharp, low-noise shots in dim indoor lighting or at night, there’s no smartphone capable of matching a full-frame DSLR fitted with a fast lens. The bigger sensor, the more light it captures when using a set shutter speed.
3. Shooting in bright light
Trying to compose a great photo on a sunny day can be tricky on a smartphone, with glare on the screen making it hard to see what’s in frame. There aren’t really any consistent solutions to this: you can step into the shade if it’s available, or crank up the screen brightness, but neither are ideal or always practical.
Thanks to its optical viewfinder, a DSLR has no such issues. You can place your eye up to the viewfinder and preview your shot ‘through the lens’, with the eyepiece shutting out any potentially distracting sunlight.
Note however that, unlike the electronic viewfinders used by many mirrorless cameras, a DSLR viewfinder cannot preview things like exposure, browse menu screens or review shots you’ve already taken.
One thing you can preview with an optical viewfinder is depth of field (the areas in your image which will be in sharp focus when you hit the shutter button): there’s usually a small button located on the camera body near the lens mount to do this.
4. Handling and ergonomics
iPhones are designed to fit in your pocket. They aren’t designed to be comfortable and steady in the hand while taking photos – hence many frequent iPhone photographers using a case that includes some kind of stability-aiding handle. For most photographers, an iPhone’s handling is a problem to be dealt with rather than something to celebrate.
DSLRs are a different matter entirely. Being primarily designed for handheld photography, they’ve got excellent handling – especially in comparison to a smartphone.
Many generations of design tweaks has led to a common look among all DSLRs: a protruding grip for the user’s right hand, often with depressions, ridges and textured finishes to aid purchase and stability. With the user’s left hand gripping the lens barrel, not to mention a neck or shoulder strap providing a further point of stability, holding a DSLR comfortably and steadily is rarely a problem.
The shutter button is placed so that the user’s right forefinger will comfortably rest on it during use, and usually feels responsive and reactive in a way no touchscreen button (or volume down button posing as a touchscreen button) can replicate. Other controls to tweak shooting settings like ISO, shutter speed, autofocus and exposure compensation are usually placed within easy reach of a finger or thumb too, which makes swiftly tweaking the way you shoot on the fly a lot easier on a DSLR than on an iPhone.
5. Capturing fast-paced action
iPhones can shoot a rapid burst of shots quite well (just hold down the shutter button), which helps when attempting to capture a fast-moving subject. But autofocus and autoexposure rarely keep up with the action, which can leave your subject poorly exposed or even out of focus.
DSLRs, particularly higher spec models, tend to be far better at shooting tricky, fast-paced action – one of the reasons DSLRs from Canon and Nikon are the favored tools of many a photojournalist and sports/wildlife photographer.
The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III can shoot continuously at 20fps with AI-assisted 191-point autofocus, while the Nikon D6 can shoot 14fps with 105-point autofocus. By combining fast, accurate AF with fast shooting and large buffers, users of DSLRs can capture hundreds of shots in a matter of seconds, picking out the best later on.
Be warned, though: entry-level and mid-range DSLRs aren’t as rapid, so picking a fast mirrorless model might make more sense if speed and responsiveness is a priority and you don’t have the budget for a premium DSLR. | https://www.techradar.com/in/features/5-things-a-dslr-still-does-better-than-an-iphone | 2022-07-09T08:33:16Z | https://www.techradar.com/in/features/5-things-a-dslr-still-does-better-than-an-iphone | true | 6 |
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lankan protesters demanding that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa resign forced their way into his official residence on Saturday, a local television report said, as thousands of people took to the streets in the capital decrying the island nation’s worst economic crisis in recent memory.
It was not clear if Rajapaksa was inside the residence in Colombo but footage shot on mobile phones showed a large number of people inside the well-fortified house and on the grounds outside.
Police had earlier fired tear gas at protesters who surrounded the official residence as they moved toward the main gates. The protesters eventually broke the barricades and entered the house.
Protesters blame Rajapaksa for the economic woes and have occupied the entrance to his office for three months.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
Sri Lankan police fired tear gas Saturday at protesters demanding that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his government resign over the island nation's worst economic crisis in recent memory.
Thousands of protesters carrying Sri Lankan flags rode on the relatively few vehicles on the roads due to an acute fuel shortage, while others rode bicycles and many walked to protest sites in the capital, Colombo, from the suburbs after police lifted an overnight curfew.
Protesters blame Rajapaksa for the economic woes and have occupied the entrance to his office for three months.
Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said last month that the country's economy has collapsed. The government's negotiations with the International Monetary Fund have been complex because it has now entered negotiations as a bankrupt state.
In April, Sri Lanka announced it is suspending repaying foreign loans due to a foreign currency shortage. Its total foreign debt amounts to $51 billion of which it must repay $28 billion by the end of 2027.
Police imposed a curfew in Colombo and several other main urban areas on Friday night but withdrew it Saturday morning amid objections by lawyers and opposition politicians who called it illegal.
Riot police and army personnel are deployed in the city, and the area surrounding the president's official residence is heavily barricaded.
U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung on Friday asked people to protest peacefully and called for the military and police “to grant peaceful protesters the space and security to do so.”
“Chaos & force will not fix the economy or bring the political stability that Sri Lankans need right now,” Chung said in a tweet.
The economic crisis has led to a heavy shortage of essentials like fuel, cooking gas and medicines, forcing people to stand in long lines to buy the limited supplies.
Months of protests have nearly dismantled the Rajapaksa political dynasty that has ruled Sri Lanka for most of the past two decades. One of Rajapaksa’s brothers resigned as prime minister last month, and two other brothers and a nephew quit their Cabinet posts earlier.
President Rajapaksa has held on to power.

Researchers are therefore not only interested in the sequence of the individual building blocks of biomolecules, but also in their spatial structure. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), bioinformaticians can already reliably predict the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence. For RNA molecules, however, this technology is still in its infancy. Researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) describe a way to use AI to reliably predict the structure of certain RNA molecules from their nucleotide sequence in the journal PLOS Computational Biology of 7 July 2022.
For the work, the teams led by Vivian Brandenburg and Professor Franz Narberhaus from the RUB Chair of Biology of Microorganisms cooperated with Professor Axel Mosig from the Bioinformatics Competence Area of the Bochum Centre for Protein Diagnostics.
Cell environment must be taken into account“RNA is often only seen as a messenger between genomic DNA and proteins”, says Axel Mosig. “But many RNA molecules take over cellular functions.” Their spatial structure is important for this. Similar regions in a nucleotide sequence can cluster together to form three-dimensional arrangements.
“Identifying these self-similarities in an RNA sequence is like a mathematical puzzle”, explains Vivian Brandenburg. There is a biophysical model for this puzzle with corresponding prediction algorithms. However, the model cannot take into account the cellular environment of the RNA – and this also influences the folding process. “If the RNA were isolated and floating in aqueous solution, the model could predict the structure very accurately”, says Brandenburg. But a living cell contains many other components.
This is where artificial intelligence comes into play. The AI can learn subtle patterns from the cellular environment based on known structures. It could then incorporate these findings into its structural predictions. For the learning process, however, the AI needs sufficient training data – and this is actually lacking in practice.
Obtaining training data with a trickTo solve the problem of the missing training data, the Bochum team used a trick: the researchers worked with known RNA structural motifs. Using a kind of reverse gear, they could generate almost any number of nucleotide sequences from the energy models of these structures that would fold into these spatial structures. With the help of this so-called inverse folding, the researchers generated many pairs of nucleotide sequences and structures with which they could train the AI.
New structures reliably predictableThe researchers then confronted the AI with a new task: it had to predict the structure of certain bacterial RNA molecules. These molecules – called transcription terminators – are important stop signals in the translation of genomic DNA in bacteria. Often, like many other RNA molecules with important cellular functions, they are hidden in the genome and difficult to distinguish from areas with other functions.
The artificial intelligence was able to reliably recognise and predict the typical structure of the transcription terminators, which is reminiscent of a hairpin. The research team was able to prove this using publicly available experimental data.
“While AI approaches are now almost inevitable in the prediction of protein structures, the development of RNA structures is only just beginning”, Axel Mosig summarises. | https://www.newswise.com/articles/artificial-intelligence-folds-rna-molecules?sc=rsmn | 2022-07-09T08:36:03Z | https://www.newswise.com/articles/artificial-intelligence-folds-rna-molecules?sc=rsmn | true | 4 |
MUMBAI: The teaser of thriller film 'Chup' was unveiled by 'Cheeni Kam' director and ad-man R Balki on Saturday on the occasion of filmmaker and actor Guru Dutt's birth anniversary.
The teaser is an ode to Guru Dutt, who received a barrage of criticism for his iconic film 'Kaagaz Ke Phool'.
The film stars Sunny Deol, Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan, 'Scam: 1992' star Shreya Dhanwanthary and Pooja Bhatt, who made a comeback with 'Bombay Begums'.
The movie is directed by R Balki and produced by Gauri Shinde, Hope Filmmakers and Pen Studios.
The teaser opens with Dulquer's character making art of our newspaper cuttings and gifting a bouquet of paper-cut flowers to Shreya's character before the premise spirals into a dark web of thrill and mystery, and speaks about the revenge of an artiste.
Commenting on the occasion of the teaser release, R Balki, said in a statement, "Guru Dutt's 'Kaagaz Ke Phool' is one of the many films that is seen as iconic today but was strongly criticised when it was released. Should we be more sensitive to an artist's work or should the artists be less sensitive about what is being written about their work."
For Balki, who has written the original story for the film, 'Chup' is his debut in the genre of blood and kills. A thriller of global significance, the movie is being conceptually touted as the first-of-its-kind in the world.
The screenplay and dialogues have been co-written by R Balki, critic-turned-writer Raja Sen and Rishi Virmani.
The film is presented by Dr. Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios with worldwide distribution by Pen Marudhar.
The director of photography is Vishal Sinha and Amit Trivedi has composed the music.

Birmingham bus that survived the Blitz restored for £500,000
By John Bray
BBC News, West Midlands
- Published
It's a double decker bus with a remarkable history spanning more than 90 years - and now AEC Regent 486 has a new lease of life after a painstaking restoration that's cost £500,000.
The bus started life on the roads of Birmingham in 1931; was sent to work in London during World War Two; returned to Birmingham after the city lost 145 buses in an air raid at Hockley; sold for scrap in 1946; discovered in a Herefordshire field in 1970; and is now a gleaming reminder of a bygone era of transport at a museum in north Worcestershire.
Its restoration at Transport Museum Wythall, which began in 2013, was beset by technical problems, with more than 160 faults identified during the work.
The engine caught fire ahead of an unveiling in 2019, and then of course there was a global pandemic.
"It's been a hell of a lot of pressure and stress until we got it out on the road again," admitted Rob Handford, who's spearheaded the restoration project.
"I'm just about beginning to enjoy it now, and there is huge satisfaction and relief. The satisfaction is people saying 'this is fantastic - this is an incredible vehicle'.
"It shows the standard of vehicles that were turned out, and this is what people are amazed by."
Museum colleague Denis Chick added: "The whole thing is exquisite. You can't believe it's a bus. It just shows that pride in engineering.
"It must have been like going to work in a Rolls Royce."

Colombo: Thousands of protesters in Sri Lanka’s commercial capital Colombo broke through police barricades and stormed the president’s official residence on Saturday in one of the largest anti-government marches in the crisis-hit country this year.
Some protesters, holding Sri Lankan flags and helmets, broke into the palace, video footage from local TV news NewsFirst channel showed.
The island of 22 million people is struggling under a severe foreign exchange shortage that has limited essential imports of fuel, food and medicine, plunging it into the worst financial turmoil in seven decades.
Many blame the country’s decline on President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Largely peaceful protests since March have demanded his resignation.
Thousands of people swarmed into Colombo’s government district, shouting slogans against the president and dismantling several police barricades to reach Rajapaksa’s house.
Police fired shots in the air but were unable to stop the angry crowd from surrounding the presidential residence, a witness said.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the president’s whereabouts.
Earlier large protests overshadowed Australia’s second Test against the country, with thousands marching outside the Galle International Stadium, in Galle, south of Colombo.
Demonstrators first marched around the ground chanting “Go home Gota” in Sinhalese, before heading to the top of the iconic fort that overlooks the cricket venue.
Television broadcasters had managed to block out the protesters’ chants in the opening hour of play while they refused to show vision.
At least one protester held a banner reading “Thank you Cricket Australia, you’ve got to go home Gota.”
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has been contacted for comment.
Despite a severe shortage of fuel that has stalled transportation services, demonstrators packed into buses, trains and trucks from several parts of the country to reach the capital to protest the government’s failure to protect them from economic ruin.
Discontent has worsened in recent weeks as the cash-strapped country stopped receiving fuel shipments, forcing school closures and rationing of petrol and diesel for essential services.
Sampath Perera, a 37-year-old fisherman took an overcrowded bus from the seaside town of Negombo 45 kilometres north of Colombo, to join the protest.
“We have told Gota over and over again to go home but he is still clinging onto power. We will not stop until he listens to us,” Perera said.
He is among the millions squeezed by chronic fuel shortages and inflation that hit 54.6 per cent in June.
Political instability could undermine Sri Lanka’s talks with the International Monetary Fund seeking a $US3 billion ($4.3 billion) bailout, a restructuring of some foreign debt and fund-raising from multilateral and bilateral sources to ease the dollar drought.

'It's embarrassing, just play the game!': AFL fans BLAST Jack Ginnivan after Collingwood gun is pinged for ducking during the Pies' close-fought win over North Melbourne
- Fans have blasted Jack Ginnivan for a ducking infringement on Saturday
- The Collingwood star attempted to win a free kick for a high tackle
- However, the umpire saw that he ducked in order to initiate high contact
- Supporters say the decision is a strong step towards eradicating the loophole
Fans have praised AFL umpires after they cracked down on Jack Ginnivan's 'ducking' technique during Collingwood's win over North Melbourne on Saturday.
The Magpies secured their seventh victory on the trot this weekend, coming from behind to clinch an eight-point win over the rock-bottom Roos at the MCG,
However, Ginnivan's attempt to haul his team back into the game did not win favour among supporters. With Collingwood down by 15 points late on in the third quarter, the youngster attempted to when a free kick after being tackled by the boundary.
Jack Ginnivan has copped a lashing on social media for ducking against North Melbourne
As Luke Davies-Uniacke approached, Ginnivan appeared to drop his knees and lock his opponent's arm over his left shoulder to initiate high contact.
After falling to the turf, the 19-year-old expected the umpire to blow up and award him a free kick within shooting distance, but he was left baffled as the official gave the free to North for a holding the ball infringement against Ginnivan.
According to the umpire, the fact Ginnivan was able to drop his knees while holding the ball indicates that he had prior opportunity to dispose of the footy.
'That's the one – you can hear the umpire clearly saying 'no, you've ducked',' Fox Footy's David King said.
The 19-year-old was pinged for initiating high contact in an attempt to win a free kick
'And that's considered his prior opportunity. From that moment forward, he's gone. He challenges the umpire to make a call. So we can't then question the umpire's call.
'He gets as many as he gives … I think that's great umpiring.
'Have a look here, he draws the free kick by lowering his height. I think that's a free kick personally. I think there's some skill in that. But I'm happy that the umpire has seen it the other way.'
AFL supporters praised the officiating of the match and hope to see more of the same
Now, fans have taken to Twitter to laud the officiating on Saturday afternoon and called out Ginnivan for his 'ducking'.
'Jack Ginnivan just wants a free kick all the time its [sic] embarrassing just play the game bro,' one fan posted online.
'Jack Ginnivan deserves an Oscar,' a second user posted.
Another added: 'That holding the ball decision just made again [sic] Jack Ginnivan is exactly how it should be umpired.
'Well done to the umpire who got it right, sick of seeing Ginnivan not even make an attempt to get around people and just dropping the body'.
'That's a good decision,' a fourth said. 'Dropping the knees/lifting the arm is your prior opportunity.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/afl/article-10997429/AFL-fans-BLAST-Jack-Ginnivan-Collingwood-gun-pinged-ducking.html | 2022-07-09T09:11:59Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/afl/article-10997429/AFL-fans-BLAST-Jack-Ginnivan-Collingwood-gun-pinged-ducking.html | true | 2 |

THE Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved N22.449 billion for projects in the ministries of petroleum resources and the environment.
This was announced Wednesday by the Minister of Environment, Muhammed Abdullahi, and the Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, Timipreye Silva, after the FEC meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Sylvia, while briefing, said FEC approved the award and procurement for the provision of a conference hostel facility in Yenagoa, adjacent to the Nigerian Content Towers at the sum of N22 billion to Megastar Technical Construction Company with a completion period of 24 months.
While reacting to a question on the persistent fuel queues in Abuja and some other parts of the country, the minister said the situation, particularly in the FCT, would continue for a while until fuel was finally deregulated.
He said the fuel queues were not caused by shortages in the supply of fuel but by the reluctance of petroleum marketers to sell at the recommended retail price.
Sylva, while giving updates on the rehabilitation of the nation’s refineries, said the Port-Harcourt refinery would soon become operational.
He added that the Dangote Refinery would commence operation by January next year.
Abdullahi said the council awarded the contract for consultancy services and design of the Centre of Excellence for Environmental Restoration with an Integrated Contaminated Soil Management Centre at the sum of N449,250,040.50 (VAT inclusive).

In era of transparency, Arizona law limits filming police
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s governor has signed a law that restricts how the public can video police at a time when there’s growing pressure across the U.S. for greater law enforcement transparency.
Civil rights and media groups opposed the measure that Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed Thursday. The law makes it illegal in Arizona to knowingly video police officers 8 feet (2.5 meters) or closer without an officer’s permission.
Someone on private property with the owner’s consent can also be ordered to stop recording if a police officer finds they are interfering or the area is not safe. The penalty is a misdemeanor that would likely incur a fine without jail time.
There needs to be a law that protects officers from people who “either have very poor judgment or sinister motives,” said Republican Rep. John Kavanagh, the bill’s sponsor.
“I’m pleased that a very reasonable law that promotes the safety of police officers and those involved in police stops and bystanders has been signed into law,” Kavanagh said Friday. “It promotes everybody’s safety yet still allows people to reasonably videotape police activity as is their right.”
The move comes nearly a year after the U.S. Department of Justice launched a widespread probe into the police force in Phoenix to examine whether officers have been using excessive force and abusing people experiencing homelessness. It’s similar to other investigations opened in recent months in Minneapolis and Louisville.
The Phoenix Police Department, which oversees the nation’s fifth-largest city, has been criticized in recent years for its use of force, which disproportionately affects Black and Native American residents.
The law has left opponents like K.M. Bell, staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, incredulous.
Federal appellate courts already have ruled that recording police is “a clearly established right,” according to Bell.
The law won’t work in real-life scenarios.
“We’re talking about people being in public and a place they have a right to be. We’re not talking about, like somebody breaking into the (National Security Agency),” Bell said.
Kavanagh, who was a police officer for 20 years, amended the legislation so it applies to certain types of police actions, including questioning of suspects and encounters involving mental or behavioral health issues.
The law also makes exceptions for people who are the direct subject of police interaction. They can film as long as they are not being arrested or searched. Someone who is in a car stopped by police or is being questioned can also film the encounter.
“Those exceptions were based upon input from all sorts of people, including the ACLU,” he said.
Rumblings two years ago about anti-police groups who deliberately approach officers while filming inspired draft legislation. There was a risk of an officer being injured or a suspect escaping or ditching evidence, Kavanagh said.
The Rev. Jarrett Maupin, a Phoenix activist, has represented victims of excessive force by police. Some of the cases received more publicity because video captured by bystanders was posted online.
In one case, a Black couple had police officers point guns at them in front of their children in May 2019 after their young daughter took a doll from a store without their knowledge. They received a $475,000 settlement from the city.
Maupin believes the law is a tactic to help police avoid responsibility.
“Proximity is not a luxury in terms of documenting the actions of officers who engage in acts of brutality,” Maupin said. Sometimes the victims and the bystanders have no choice but to be within the proximity that the bill now prohibits.”
Bell said it’s unlikely that other states might follow suit to limit police recording directly given questions about constitutionality.
The new law doesn’t make exceptions for the press.
Media groups including The Associated Press said the measure raises serious constitutional issues. They signed onto a letter from the National Press Photographers Association, or NPPA, in opposition to the bill.
Setting one-size-fits-all conditions like “arbitrary distances” of 8 feet (2.5 meters) for filming police just doesn’t work, said Mickey Osterreicher, general counsel for the NPPA. It’s also unclear if someone is breaking the law if an officer approaches them within a few feet.
“What happens when you’re in situations like we saw during all of the protests for the past couple of years, where you have multiple people with cameras? We’re not just talking about journalists,” Osterreicher said. “And you’ve got multiple police officers. Is everybody going to be running around with a ruler?”
Cellphone cameras have transformed policing with one of the biggest examples being the 2020 killing of George Floyd, but Kavanagh said a law like Arizona’s wouldn’t have made an impact since the video in that case was taken from a greater distance away.
Osterreicher argued a police officer could invoke the law even if the person filming is far enough away.
But that didn’t happen in the Floyd case.
“Fortunately, those officers out of all the wrong things that they did, the one thing they didn’t do was tell her to turn off the camera or try to interfere with her recording,” Osterreicher said.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- As a social media debate consumed Twitter earlier this offseason, Browns tight end David Njoku wasn’t paying attention.
The discourse centered around Njoku’s flashy new contract extension, a four-year deal worth up to $56.75 million that makes him the fifth-highest paid tight end in the NFL, putting him in the company of first-team All-Pros and multiple-time Pro Bowlers (San Francisco’s George Kittle, Kansas City’s Travis Kelce, Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert and Baltimore’s Mark Andrews).
“It’s actually my first time hearing that the Browns overpaid me,” Njoku said during the team’s OTAs this offseason. “I didn’t hear that. I mean, it’s my first time. It is what it is. I feel like we are going to do great things together in the near future.”
Njoku may have tuned out the social media noise, but on the field he will have to answer one burning question: Can he be a No. 1 tight end?
At this moment, it’s an unanswerable question for sure. But what’s inarguable is Njoku likely has untapped potential, and the Browns believe that with more time, experience, and targets, he can get there.

- Caesars Sportsbook promo: $1,500 Risk Free Bet
- Barstool Sportsbook promo: 2 for 1 New Player Bonus: If your first bet loses, get an equal free bet up to $1,000
With Austin Hooper released and now with the Tennessee Titans, Njoku is the undisputed No. 1 tight end on the roster. In his career, however, Njoku has only averaged 36 receptions, 428 yards and 3.5 touchdowns in his four healthy seasons (he only played four games in 2019 after breaking his wrist and landing in Freddie Kitchens’ doghouse).
Considering coach Kevin Stefanski and quarterback Deshaun Watson like to utilize tight ends in the pass game (Watson has thrown about 20% of his 104 career TD passes to tight ends), it wouldn’t be shocking for Njoku to get the second-most targets behind star wide receiver Amari Cooper, even if there is a decreased use of 13 personnel (one running back, three tight ends).
With the extension, the Browns are seemingly paying Njoku based on potential rather than past production.
He certainly has potential, considering Njoku is only 25 and has been in the league for five years.
“He is young,” Stefanski said during OTAs. “I do not know if he physically can grow any more, but his game can grow. That is a conversation I have had with him. I do expect his game to grow, and it is not as simple as saying, ‘Hey, we are going to throw more balls to you.’ I think his game will grow, and you will see it in the run game and in the pass game, and you will see it kind of throughout. I think he is committed to that. David wants to get better, and to be 25, I think you have that opportunity to get better.”
Over the years Njoku’s greatly improved his blocking, something that has drawn praise from both Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry. Last season he was the best blocking tight end on the team with a 72.4 pass blocking grade and 64.1 run blocking grade, according to Pro Football Focus.
The pass game is where he has the most room to grow.
Drops have been one of his biggest perceived issues, and while he still has room to improve there, he’s come a long way already. Njoku dropped eight balls during the 2018 season, but had just three in 2020 and two last season, according to PFF.
There’s also room to improve his route running.
“Especially on plays where he has to break down and make cuts,“ offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said. “David is really fast and a really good straight-line runner so improvement in his route-running ability [is possible].”
Considering his size at 6-4, 246 pounds, Njoku could be the kind of tight end to get eight touchdowns a season, as Mary Kay Cabot has argued. So far he’s averaged only three, but when you talk about potential, Njoku’s development combined with Watson’s accuracy understandably has the Browns optimistic that he can perform in the No. 1 role.
That experience that Njoku is going to gain, and the confidence that comes with being No. 1 on the depth chart may ultimately be what helps Njoku reach his potential -- his new contract reinforces the front office’s expectations.
Njoku will have more of an opportunity than ever before due to increased experience and targets.
Regardless of the social media chatter, he has the chance this year to prove he can be a No. 1 tight end and quiet the critics for good.

The 11th batch of over 6,000 Amarnath pilgrims left the Jammu city on Saturday for the twin base camps in Kashmir even as the annual pilgrimage to the cave shine in south Kashmir was halted because of the flash floods triggered by heavy rainfall that killed at least 16 people.
The 43-day Yatra began on June 30 from the twin routes — the traditional 48-km from Nunwan in Pahalgam in south Kashmir’s Anantnag, and the 14-km shorter but steep Baltal route in Ganderbal district of central Kashmir.
However, the pilgrimage has been suspended after the flash flood near the cave shrine on Friday evening swept away scores of people, swamping tents and community kitchens with mud and rocks hurtling down a hillside.
A decision on the resumption of the pilgrimage will be taken after rescue operations get over, a senior administration official said.
A total of 6,048 pilgrims left the Bhagwati Nagar Yatri Niwas in Jammu city in a convoy of 279 vehicles amid heavy CRPF security, officials said.
They said 1,404 pilgrims, heading for Baltal, were the first to leave the Bhagwati Nagar camp in 115 vehicles around 3.30 am followed by the second convoy of 164 vehicles carrying 4,014 pilgrims for Pahalgam.
With this, 69,535 pilgrims have left the Bhagwati Nagar base camp for the Valley since June 29, the day the first batch of pilgrims was flagged off by Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha.
Till Saturday, over one lakh pilgrims have offered their prayers at the cave shrine, the officials said.
The yatra is scheduled to end on August 11 on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. | https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/over-6000-pilgrims-leave-jammu-for-amarnath-base-camps/2588448/ | 2022-07-09T09:33:28Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/over-6000-pilgrims-leave-jammu-for-amarnath-base-camps/2588448/ | true | 7 |

MINA, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Millions of Muslims across the globe — including in countries like Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Kenya and Yemen — were celebrating Eid al-Adha on Saturday, one of the biggest holidays of the Islamic calendar.
Known as the “Feast of Sacrifice,” the revered observance coincides with the final rites of the annual hajj in Saudi Arabia. It's a joyous occasion, for which food is a hallmark. Much of Asia, including Indonesia, India and Pakistan, will observe the holiday on Sunday.
But as Russia's war in Ukraine sends food prices soaring and causes widespread hardship across the Middle East, many say they can't afford the livestock for the ritual sacrifice. Desperation over the cost of living has undercut the typically booming holiday trade in goats, cows and sheep.
“Everyone wants to sacrifice an animal in the name of Allah, but they are not able to do so because they're poor,” said Mohammad Nadir from a cattle market in Mazar-e-Sharif, northern Afghanistan, where a few men haggled over bleating sheep.
Eid al-Adha commemorates the Quranic tale of Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice Ismail as an act of obedience to God. Before he could carry out the sacrifice, God provided a ram as an offering. In the Christian and Jewish telling, Abraham is ordered to kill another son, Isaac.
Many Muslims celebrate the four-day feast by ritually slaughtering livestock and distributing the meat among family, friends and the poor. At al-Shati refugee camp in west Gaza City on Saturday, excited children lined up for the innards and trotters — a cherished offering for those otherwise unable to afford meat.
In cash-strapped Afghanistan, there is usually a shopping rush for prime animals ahead of the holiday. But this year, galloping global inflation and economic devastation after the Taliban takeover have put a purchase of great religious importance beyond the reach of many.
“Last year on this day I sold 40 to 50 cattle,” said Mohammad Qassim, an Afghan cattle vendor. “This year, I have only managed to sell two."
Wheat and meat prices have multiplied and hunger has spread as Russia's war on Ukraine disrupts agriculture and constrains energy supply. The sky-high costs of animal feed and fertilizer have forced livestock salesmen to hike prices.
From Tripoli in war-torn Libya, families are looking forward to the holiday after the past two years of the pandemic and more than a decade of violent chaos. But the price tags — up to $2,100 per sheep — had buyers pacing around the dusty market near the palm-studded highway, apprehensive about the major purchase.
“Honestly, the prices are crazy," said Sabri al-Hadi, seeming exasperated.
At a livestock market in the blockaded Gaza Strip, there were hardly any buyers. Vendors said the price of sheep feed has jumped four fold in recent weeks.
“Our life is full of loss,” lamented Abu Mustafa, a sheep salesman in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, which long has suffered from widespread joblessness and poverty.
On the streets of Ramallah, in the West Bank, Palestinian families were cutting back on other components of the feast — typically a bounty of dishes, from offal to kaak and maamoul holiday cookies.
“On days like these, there was demand for fruits, sweets and for nuts as well, but as you can see ... no one is standing to buy now," complained fruit vendor Baligh Hamdi.
But lavish feast or no, there were community prayers — a welcome sight in much of the world after years of coronavirus-related restrictions. The faithful crowded into mosques across the Middle East and North Africa on Saturday.
From Kenya to Russia to Egypt, throngs of worshippers prayed shoulder to shoulder, feet to feet.
“I feel very happy that all these people came to pray,” said Sahar Mohamed in Cairo, smiling widely. "There is love and acceptance between people."
In Saudi Arabia, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims rose at dawn to trek to Mina, a wide valley ringed by barren mountains where Prophet Muhammad stopped on his route some 1,400 years ago. One million Muslims from around the world flocked this week to the holy city of Mecca, the largest pilgrimage since the pandemic upended the event.
At the multistory Jamarat Complex, pilgrims carried out the symbolic stoning of the devil, recalling Ibrahim's victory over temptation. It's among the set of rituals associated with the Prophet Muhammad and the prophets Ibrahim and Ismail, or Abraham and Ishmael in the Bible, performed every year for these five intense days.
The pilgrims threw pebbles at three large pillars that mark the places where the devil tried to interrupt Ibrahim’s sacrifice.
It’s the most dangerous point in the hajj, with masses streaming back and forth. In 2015, thousands of pilgrims were crushed to death by surging crowds. The Saudi government never gave a final death toll. In the years since, authorities have improved access with wider streets, electronic gates and a high-speed rail link.
All Muslims who are physically and financially able to complete the spiritual journey are supposed to do so at least once in a lifetime. Saudi Arabia maintained limits to curb the spread of the virus this year, with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate and attendance less than half of pre-pandemic quotas.
Still, the scenes were a significant step closer to normal. The famous crowds thronged the holy sites, abandoning masks and safety measures.
At the end of the pilgrimage, one of the key pillars of Islam, men are expected to shave their heads, and women to snip a lock of hair in a sign of renewal.
They will return to Mecca to circle the cube-shaped Kaaba, which represents the metaphorical house of God, in farewell before heading home and continuing to celebrate the remainder of Eid al-Adha with family.
“We are feeling very proud,” said Indian pilgrim Izhar Anjoom, who was stoning the devil in Mina. “We are enjoying (ourselves) so much because today is Eid.”

Neighbours icon Stefan Dennis has confirmed that he will star in the final scenes of the popular Australian soap, as it comes to an end on July 29, 2022.
After 36 years on our TV screens, the credits will finally roll on the lives of the Ramsay Street residents this month - with Stefan's character Paul Robinson playing a central role.
Stefan told Daily Mail Australia that he will be starring in the final scenes alongside two other actors, although their identities are yet to be revealed.

But what will happen to Paul Robinson? Will he leave Ramsay Street? Or will he remain in Erinsborough?
With fans predicting everything from a redemption arc to a shock death, Daily Star takes a look at some of the theories surrounding Paul Robinson's final scenes.
Paul Robinson redeems himself - or does he?
Love him or loathe him, Paul Robinson has kept viewers on the edge of their seats throughout the years.
Whether it was his shock return in 2004 after blowing up Lassisters Pub, his many marriages or his ill-fated relationship with Terese, Paul's life has been one of the most dramatic on Ramsay Street.
After the actor confirmed that he will appear in the soap's final "heartfelt" scenes with two other cast members, viewers are currently speculating who he might share the final episode with - and whether Paul Robinson will finally redeem himself after such a tumultuous time on the street.
One fan thinks it could be Neighbours icons Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne as Karl and Susan Kennedy, saying: "I think a sensible way to leave things would be Karl and Susan leaving the street and Paul finally redeeming himself."
Another said: "Paul is one of the original characters. It's fitting that he should be in the final scene. I'd like to see him having a redemption arc but finding out it's too late."
However some fans do not think it would be fitting for Paul to redeem himself in the final episode, with a third adding: "I don't want all Paul's children (except Robert probably) turning up to give him an intervention and the show acting like that will mean anything, because countless interventions over the years haven't changed him at all."
A fourth commented: "I don't think it's anything sudden in the writing that wouldn't justify giving Paul a sad ending."
Paul Robinson is the only resident left in Ramsay Street
With a mass exodus of Ramsay Street residents taking place, fans have predicted that everyone in Erinsborough will leave - except for Paul Robinson.
Although Paul could decide to leave the street too, some viewers think that he might choose to stay if he wins back his beloved Lassisters empire in the final hours.
One fan said: "I fear they're going to give Paul an eternally sad ending. He'll win Lassisters back from Terese but cost himself a chance at true happiness in the process. She'll move on and be happy with Glen.
"The last scene will be Paul alone in his ivory tower, drinking whisky and playing chess on his own."
With viewers also predicting that Paul and Terese will not have a happy ending, or a romantic reunion, could Paul be left on his own in the street as the final credits play?
Fans certainly seem to think so, and with Paul having made so many enemies on the street, one viewer even went as far to say that the Erinsborough residents will all leave if he tries to use his power to buy all the houses in Ramsay Street.
"Paul sells Lassiters and buys the whole of Ramsay Street. Everyone moves out in protest," said one fan.
"The final shot is Paul standing alone in the middle of the street as a solitary tear runs down his face."
Paul Robinson dies in the final scene
Paul Robinson has been at the centre of some of Neighbours' biggest storylines, becoming an iconic villain the process.
There have also been many attempts to kill him, including being shot by wife Terri, a murderous attempt to push him off a cliff and a diabolical plan to end his life by none other than his own son, Robert Robinson.
Fans think that the final scene could see Paul Robinson meet his end, with one saying: "I think it would be so fitting and a great conclusion to his time on the show."
Looking at the range of characters coming back for the finale that may have had a feud with Paul Robinson in the past, it seems more and more likely that Paul's days might be numbered.
Fans seems to agree too, with a third comparing the ensemble cast to the Marvel universe.
They said: "At this point with so many characters coming in from all over, I can only imagine that it is going to be like Avengers: Endgame - cast from all over the universe come together to defeat Paul Robinson."
One fan even went as far to suggest who would deal the deadly blow, adding: "Karl Kennedy will be tasked...to end Paul's rebellious reign of terror."
Neighbours was just in Paul Robinson's dreams
Stranger things have happened in soap land - so could Ramsay Street be all a figment of Paul Robinson's imagination?
There have been a lot of far fetched storylines in some of our favourite soaps throughout the years, including Neighbours, so it would not come as a surprise if it had all been a dream.
Fans have even suggested this could be the case too, with one saying: "Turns out Paul got sucked into an alternate dimension when he saw his dad in a Christmas bauble and everything since has been a weird dream."

The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District on Thursday issued the following press release on its sewer main replacement project in the Dowd Junction area starting on Tuesday, July 12:
On Tuesday, July 12 there will be several 20-to-30-minute shutdowns of the Gore Valley Trail in Dowd Junction while a new utility bridge is lifted into place over the Eagle River as part of the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District’s sewer main replacement project in the area.
During the shutdowns, all pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be halted while two cranes fly the bridge segments into place. The work will also affect river users as the boat ramp across from the U.S. Forest Service building in Dowd Junction will be closed during crane operations. Anyone in or near the river in the vicinity, such as boaters or anglers, will be asked to leave the river for the duration of the construction operation over the water.
Drivers on U.S. Highway 6 & 24 may experience short stops while construction crews get in place on the Gore Valley Trail bridge. Traffic flow will be maintained in both directions though travelers should use caution as a lane shift will be in place.
If you are delayed by one of these shutdowns, you will likely get the chance to view very complex construction activity as the bridge is flown over the river and set on the abutments and pier. Please spectate safely; stay behind onsite traffic control for your protection and that of the construction crews.
The new bridge will hold a new larger sewer main that will provide multiple benefits over the existing aerial sewer crossing, which is more than 50 years old and has reached the end of its useful life. The new main will increase system reliability and capacity and the new bridge will allow for regular maintenance activities and improve worker safety. After the bridge is in place and the new main is operational, crews will remove the current aerial crossing and its two concrete support piers from the Eagle River, which will help restore the river channel.
The bridge installation is part of the second phase of a multi-year wastewater infrastructure improvement project in the Dowd Junction area that spans from the County Road bridge to the Gore Valley Trail bridge. Phase I began in Aug. 2020 near the intersection of U.S. Highway 24 and County Road in Minturn and included a new pedestrian bridge that extended the Eagle Valley Trail system, while Phase II began in spring 2021. Both projects are replacing critical sewer mains in challenging locations that are part of the wastewater collection system which conveys sewage to the district’s wastewater treatment facility in Avon.
The third and final phase of the multi-year project is scheduled to begin Jul. 18. Phase III work includes the construction of a new lift station across from the Forest Service building to replace the nearby existing one and replacing the sewer main between the end of Phase I and the new lift station.
Additionally, two dual force sewer mains will be constructed from the lift station downstream to the end of Phase II work. As with Phase I, the end of Phase III includes a partnership with Eagle County’s ECO Trails to connect the bike trail from Minturn to the Gore Valley Trail intersection.
When Phase III begins, the Eagle Valley Trail will be closed between County Road and the boat ramp, with cyclists diverted to U.S. Highway 24 throughout construction. The boat ramp will be open, though there may be occasional planned closures.
The Phase II project should be complete in fall 2022 and Phase III should be done in late fall 2023. The overall project is funded by wastewater service rates and property assessments, with the trail portion of the work funded by Eagle County. The project engineers are HDR Engineering, Murraysmith, and Otak. The Phase II contractor is Mueller Construction Services while Phase III is Gould Construction.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Sri Lankan protesters demanding President Gotabaya Rajapaksa resign forced their way into his official residence and nearby office on Saturday, local television reports said, as thousands of people demonstrated in the capital against the island nation's worst economic crisis in recent memory.
It was not clear if Rajapaksa was inside the residence in Colombo but footage shot on mobile phones showed a large number of people inside the well-fortified house and on the grounds outside.
A government spokesman, Mohana Samaranayake, said he had no information about whether Rajapaksa had left the residence.
Hundreds of protesters, some carrying national flags, also entered the president's office in another nearby building, television footage showed. Protesters blame Rajapaksa for the economic woes and had occupied the entrance to his office building for the past three months calling on him to step down.
Video posted on social media showed hundreds of protesters running into the president's residence, chanting "Gota go home," calling the president by his nickname. Outside the building, barricades were overturned.
At the president's office, security personnel tried to stop protesters who passed through the fences and stormed the colonial-era Parliament building, which has been converted into the president's office.
At least 34 people including two police officers were wounded in scuffles as protesters tried to enter the residence. Two of the injured are in critical condition while others have sustained minor injuries, said an official at the Colombo National Hospital who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Thousands of protesters had entered the capital, Colombo, from the suburbs earlier on Saturday after police lifted an overnight curfew.
Last month, Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said the country's economy has collapsed. The government's negotiations with the International Monetary Fund have been complex because it has now entered negotiations as a bankrupt state.
In April, Sri Lanka announced it is suspending repaying foreign loans due to a foreign currency shortage. Its total foreign debt amounts to $51 billion of which it must repay $28 billion by the end of 2027.
Police imposed a curfew in Colombo and several other main urban areas on Friday night but withdrew it Saturday morning amid objections by lawyers and opposition politicians who called it illegal.
U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung on Friday asked people to protest peacefully and called for the military and police "to grant peaceful protesters the space and security to do so."
"Chaos & force will not fix the economy or bring the political stability that Sri Lankans need right now," Chung said in a tweet.
The economic crisis has led to a heavy shortage of essentials like fuel, cooking gas and medicines, forcing people to stand in long lines to buy the limited supplies.
Months of protests have nearly dismantled the Rajapaksa political dynasty that has ruled Sri Lanka for most of the past two decades. One of Rajapaksa's brothers resigned as prime minister last month, and two other brothers and a nephew quit their Cabinet posts earlier.
President Rajapaksa has held on to power.
Wickremesinghe took over as prime minister in May and protests temporarily waned in the hope he could find cash for the country's urgent needs but people now want him to resign saying he has failed to fulfill his promises.

It’s been a long time coming, but it looks like the legal challenges Enid has been facing with the massive Kaw Lake water pipeline project are finally coming to an end.
With a $4.2 million settlement to an Oklahoma tribal nation approved Thursday, the city of Enid has now cleared the way for construction to wholly proceed on the pipeline.
Enid city commissioners voted unanimously Thursday night to approve a joint resolution ratifying an agreement that will grant the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma a settlement of $4.2 million, as payment for the tribe’s forbearance from proceeding in court over the pipeline’s construction and operation on tribal land in Kay County.
City Manager Jerald Gilbert said that with four of the 230-plus total easement parcels approved Thursday — as well as all 25 parcels for Enid’s water main on Chestnut now acquired — the city is now at 100% acquisition of properties for pipeline construction.
Enid residents for generations to come will benefit from this water project. Enid is in a drought-prone area — which we have seen the impacts of this past year. It has been necessary for the city to plan for the “worst-case scenario.” This project will ensure long-term availability of water to Enid residents, Vance Air Force Base, Enid Woodring Regional Airport, local and outlying industry, neighboring municipalities and rural water customers.
As Northwest Oklahoma Water Resources Board leader Duane Smith told civic leaders a few months ago, “Water is pretty much everything, and when you think about it, we can talk about all the different issues, but if we don’t have clean, good water, Enid’s not here.”
The Kaw Lake Pipeline project will go a long way to improving Enid’s ability to grow and prosper. | https://www.enidnews.com/opinion/editorial-end-to-legal-challenges-lead-way-for-kaw-lake-project/article_020ad62a-fec9-11ec-a179-47ccea18214d.html | 2022-07-09T10:12:22Z | https://www.enidnews.com/opinion/editorial-end-to-legal-challenges-lead-way-for-kaw-lake-project/article_020ad62a-fec9-11ec-a179-47ccea18214d.html | false | 1 |
California man killed by illegal fireworks explosion
MONTEBELLO, Calif. — Officials said that the fireworks that killed a man in California on the Fourth of July were illegal.
The victim, who has not been identified, was handling “suspected illegal, high-grade fireworks” when they exploded, Michael Chee, a Montebello city spokesperson told the Los Angeles Times. Chee told the newspaper that the victim was found unconscious in his yard.
Montebello police told KTTV that the man was rushed to the hospital but died from his injuries.
A neighbor who heard the explosion told KNBC, “This is so sad, this is so sad, to lose your life because of illegal fireworks.”
KTLA talked to a neighbor who said she is frequently frightened by loud fireworks being set off in the street.
The deadly accident came despite a crackdown on illegal fireworks and a statement from the Los Angeles City Attorney that urged residents not to use fireworks, the Los Angeles Times reported.

HAVERFORDWEST featured prominently in an award-winning garden created for the Hampton Court Garden Festival this week by Swansea gardener Sue Kent.
Norman Industries were in partnership with Sue whose garden sets out to prove that disabled people can benefit from gardening and get considerable pleasure out of working with plants.
And Sue is the perfect example of what can be achieved by the disabled. She was born with an upper limb disability caused by the drug thalidomide and used her feet to work on her own garden in Swansea.
And her efforts have been rewarded with a silver-gilt medal from the RHS judges.
“I wanted to show what can be achieved even if you are disabled,” she said.
And her own life has turned upside down thanks to her garden. She sent a video of her garden to Gardeners World and has now become a presenter on the programme and an RHS ambassador.
“Bringing my garden design to life was exhausting but also rewarding and I am very grateful for the help and support I received,” she added.

Sue is a trained masseuse who ran her own business until she retired in January to concentrate on her gardening skills.
“I am particularly proud of the Welsh links in my garden. Everything is recycled and everything comes from Wales from the fencing and steel to the plants.”
And when the show closes the garden will be moved to Scolton Manor Country Park in Haverfordwest.

THE Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) has claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attack on the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Kuje, Abuja.
This was disclosed on Wednesday in a statement written in Arabic shared via A’maq Agency, a news channel run by the Islamic State.
“Islamic State fighters penetrated the prison of the Nigerian government yesterday (Tuesday), in Kuje city, on the outskirts of the capital, Abuja, after demolishing its walls, and successfully liberated dozens of prisoners,” a translation of the statement read.
Tuesday night appeared to be the appropriate time for armed non-state actors to strike in the nation’s capital as they invaded the correctional facility, freeing hundreds of inmates in the process.
While authorities linked the attack to terrorists, a total of 64 Boko Haram fighters held at the centre for their roles in the insurgency in the North East were unaccounted for following the incident.
Amid widespread criticism sparked by the incident, President Muhammadu Buhari visited the scene for an on-the-spot assessment.
After being briefed on what transpired, the President expressed his disappointment with the intelligence at the facility with many questions, including how terrorists could attack a security installation and get away with it.
A researcher who analyses ISWAP activities in sub-Saharan Africa, Tomasz Rolbecki, also linked the attack on the correctional facility to the terrorist group.
“I wanted to believe it was not them (ISWAP), but here we are,” he said in a series of tweets while also quoting and sharing A’maq Agency’s video. “Watching the IS supporter groups right now, they are, as expected, absolutely ecstatic (sadly) and are using the same name as the campaign of prison breaks in Iraq in 2012-13 (the infamous “Breaking the Walls” campaign).
“There is one question to answer – how did ISWAP manage to do it? From previous claims, the cells that could’ve been responsible (I’m talking about the one in Suleja and the one in Kogi) seemed very small and unable to do something at such a scale.”

A scathing review has found fluoridating water was “not a priority” for Wellington Water, and there were no plans to reinstate fluoride into the two cut-off water stations.
After revelations earlier this year that two of Wellington’s water treatment plants had ceased fluoridation for months, an internal review was launched and its findings released this afternoon.
Wellington Water has been told to take a “relentless” shift in focus to get fluoride back into Wellington’s water systems, and fix its communication and leadership problems.
The report, conducted by Martin Jenkins, found there was a lack of urgency from Wellington Water to both get the fluoridation problem fixed and communicate the issue to its own senior leadership team, the board, councils, and the public.
Water in Wellington has been inconsistently fluoridated for the last six years.
The report found all water treatment plants fluoride concentrations were “frequently below the optimal level for oral health”.
In March this year Wellington Water first revealed it had switched off its fluoride dosing at the plants since February.
Later that week board chair Lynda Carroll doubled down and told the public that information was wrong – sparking a review.
The inquiry report revealed the mistake was the result of “incomplete information” being provided to senior leadership in December 2021, mistaken
assumptions, and “inadequate quality assurance of communications”.
Senior leadership and the board had not been told about the true dates of fluoridation being switched off until March this year.
It therefore took eight months from the first water treatment plant turning off its fluoride until Wellington Water had formed a team to do something about it.
However, the inquiry has concluded that there was no deliberate attempt to hide the length of time that fluoride had been turned off.
Bad communication and ‘a lack of ownership’
There were no plans to turn the fluoride dosing back on at either plant when the operational teams flipped the switch last year.
The operational team, which turned the fluoride off, did not want turn it back on until it was safe – but it was not clear who in Wellington Water would take the lead on fixing the problem.
The report found “a lot of people know something needed to be done”, but it was not prioritised effectively and there was a lack of urgency to get fluoride back on.
“A lot of people were copied into e-mails on the issue – from senior management levels to operational levels – without any clear requests or commissioning of work,” the report said.
Internal e-mails show that it was suggested in October 2021 that the Wellington councils be informed of the fluoride issues. However, the report shows “there was a reluctance to do this until there was a firm plan in place for turning fluoridation back on”.
Wellington Water’s senior leadership team were told in December last year, immediately before the Christmas period, that there was “low and inconsistent” fluoride dosing – but not that both water plants were already not being fluoridated.
It was not until February this year, eight months after the first plant stopped fluoridation, that a project team was formed at Wellington Water to improve the issue.
Senior leadership met on 21 February and were briefed on the issue of fluoride – but no one in the team was aware that the dosing had stopped.
Wellington Water board may not be fit for purpose
The report says the Wellington Water board had a gap in its knowledge and experience of water services, and this limited its ability to know what questions it should have asked about fluoride.
It said there have been issues raised that the current number of members on the board may not be sufficient to provide “scrutiny and assurance required both for the issues that have emerged through this inquiry”.
In particular, it suggests the board may not be large enough to operate.
‘Relentless focus’ on fluoridation must be maintained – report
The report says there needs to be a relentless focus not only on implementing the short-term solutions that will allow fluoridation to resume as quickly as possible, but also on long term solutions.
A “comprehensive communication plan” to keep the public informed on its action tracking is advised.
The Wellington Water board needs to have the right knowledge and experience to govern effectively, the report said.
It recommends the Wellington Water committee assesses the board to see if they fit the criteria.
A new assurance framework is needed, as well as detailed operational guidelines to ensure its staff know how to respond to and manage fluoride issues.
Wellington Water also needs to improve its assets – like the quality of its ageing treatments plants or its quality of fluoride powder.
Wellington Water committed to recommendations
Wellington Water’s board and management have committed to implement the findings.
“The inquiry findings clearly identify where and how we failed, and we again apologise for those failings,” Lynda Carroll, chair of Wellington Water’s Board said.
“The findings and recommendations provide us with a clear direction on improvements we can make to ensure we deliver the level of performance that our customers and stakeholders expect and deserve. Many of these actions were put in place in parallel to the inquiry. Our focus was on putting the situation right as soon as possible,” Carroll said.
Fluoride is set to be switched back on in September.
“We’ve also developed a detailed implementation plan to address the inquiry’s five recommendations. Our work will focus on building on communications, risk identification and increased transparency to continue to give our board, stakeholders and the public assurance that we’re doing our job properly,” she said.
At a media conference today, Carroll said the company accepted accountability for not having fluoridated water.
When asked if Wellington Water would accept responsibility if it was found that oral health in the region has declined as a result, Carroll said “we certainly accept accountability for that”.
Wellington Water says it can adopt the inquiry’s recommendations by October this year.
Wellington Water chief executive Colin Crampton said the company was well on track to get fluoride back into the two water treatment plants by September.
He told media this afternoon the company had engaged with the Ministry of Health about what the entity had done and what it was going to do regarding fluoride.
All water treatments plants would get more testing more frequently and staff had been informed on how to raise issues effectively, he said.
The Wainuiomata and Waterloo plants would also be included in public fluoridation measuring on the website.
“The company has two tasks: to deliver safe drinking water for the residents of Wellington, which we do well,” he said.
“The other is to fluoridate that water.”
Fluoridation was now a priority set within all public accountability documents, and staff at Wellington Water had now made the link between fluoridation and oral health, Crampton said.
Wellington Water has now adopted the national fluoridation code of practice.
Higher quality fluoride powder was also being sourced, which the report found was an issue.
Te Marua plant was suffering from poor-quality fluoride powder blocking the system and overdosing, while the Gear Island plant facility was old and breaking with age.
The system would have to be cleaned out and flushed before it could be turned on again – and the report notes it “was not unusual for operators to be called out in the middle of the night”.

‘The ultimate measure of a player’: True toll of a State of Origin outing
By Dan Walsh
“A little bit of a sleep in the sheds after the game,” was how Beau Scott described it.
“Good to lay down,” was his fuss-free summation of collapsing from exhaustion and dehydration at Suncorp Stadium after one of the most famed Origin matches in history. Blues medical staff were ready to send him to hospital.
Cameron Smith made a game-high 45 tackles on a badly sprained ankle in that same 12-8 NSW win in game one, 2014.
With Cooper Cronk suffering a broken arm and Billy Slater a busted shoulder, Smith limped out against the Cowboys three days later and made another 56 tackles. Through more than 500 combined NRL, Queensland and Australian appearances, veteran figures at the Storm still rate it as one of Smith’s more remarkable performances.
Origin has long been the game’s pinnacle and one of Australian sport’s most physically demanding occasions. The advent of GPS tracking has seen that ‘intensity’ quantified in recent years, albeit in somewhat rubbery fashion, as the average metres a player runs per minute.
On that measure, Origin outputs have been as much as 25 per cent higher than in regular NRL games.
When the NRL moved to shoot down the Blues’ angst over the officiating of the ruck in game one, head office pointed out 59 extra play-the-balls – almost 10 extra sets of six – came in Queensland’s upset win than your average NRL game this year.
The ball was in play for 62 of the 80 minutes, again an extra seven minutes of game time on the 55 minutes averaged each weekend. The six-again’s introduction has hit Origin like a tin of Thai Red Bull.
“Freddy [Brad Fittler] was only saying the other day, ‘My God, these players are so much better than we were’,” Blues high-performance manager Hayden Knowles says. “That was in a physical way and [referencing] how much work and training they have to do.
“You can’t do the brutal stuff which used to happen, but in other ways it’s gone to new levels every year.”
Players getting bigger and faster year-on-year, and the collisions that generate similar G-Force to car crashes, lead to scenes like Scott’s sudden collapse in the bowels of Suncorp Stadium.
“Players come off at half-time and they’re on the floor, they’re exhausted,” says veteran NSW doctor Nathan Gibbs, having split his 21 years on Blues staff between Fittler’s heyday in the 90s and then the past decade.
“Invariably the coaches are telling them, ‘The guys in the other dressing room are the same’. Breaking it down to a micro level, the beauty and brutality of Origin comes in those post-contact metres. One player hitting it up, fighting to get one extra metre forward and get a quick play-the-ball against two, three and four players fighting for the exact opposite.
“That’s one little moment in the game, then repeat it over and over until one error breaks something open. All that effort, all that force in the collision and it’s done at a speed you don’t see anywhere else.”
Throughout his own Origin career, former Blues assistant turned Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon was renowned for more gut-busting efforts than most – making all six tackles in one Origin set in 2004, and a then-record 59 tackles the following year.
Beyond the obvious fitness required, “a player’s mind and heart” will push them into rarefied air, he says.
But as Gibbs points out, the effort a player puts in will be the same win or lose, leading to “absolute exhilaration if you win and utter depression if you lose, on top of absolute exhaustion.”
Which is why the mental toll of an Origin campaign can linger long after the physical has lapsed.
“Everyone handles that differently,” Fitzgibbon says. “As a coach, Origin makes your player better when they return to your club. But you do have to pay tax on it.”
Having had nine Broncos involved in the 2006 Origin series, when captain Darren Lockyer was among those playing for their rep careers, Wayne Bennett gave his squad a week off, half the side heading to Phuket for a holiday.
Short term, it didn’t work – Brisbane lost five straight either side of their break. Further down the road, they won the premiership.
“There is absolutely a come-down to it, you can only stay up so long,” Fitzgibbon says. “But Ricky Stuart and Phil Gould would always drill into us that being an Origin player wasn’t just about playing at that level, but walking back into your club team and being an Origin player at that level.
“Some players, you do have to hold them back for their own good. Then other times, you see an absolute champion take that on board and play some of their better games of their career. With all aspects of it, physical, mental, emotional, it’s just the ultimate measure of a player.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The mayor of Uvalde on Friday disputed a new report that alleges authorities missed chances to quickly end the massacre at a Texas elementary school, again reflecting the lack of definitive answers about the slow law enforcement response to one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history.
Mayor Don McLaughlin said no Uvalde police officer saw the gunman outside Robb Elementary School before he went inside and that none of them had an opportunity to fire on the shooter. His comments contradict a critique of the decision-making by law enforcement that was released this week by tactical response experts at Texas State University.
The differing accounts and public rebuke of the report reiterated how, more than six weeks after the May 24 shooting, questions remain about how and why police armed with rifles and bulletproof shields waited more than an hour before confronting the gunman in a fourth-grade classroom where 21 people were killed, including 19 children.
It also widened a rift between Uvalde officials and the state, particularly the Texas Department of Public Safety, which had troopers on the scene and has directed much of the blame to the local school district police chief. The new report was requested by DPS, and the findings were similar to the narrative and details that leaders of the state police force have previously given publicly.
“There were dozens of DPS troopers onsite by the time of the breach in the classroom,” McLaughlin said in a statement.
Representatives of the Department of Public Safety did not respond to requests for comment. But on Friday, the DPS told lawmakers that Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Busbee was not authorizing the agency to publicly release a 77-minute video of the school hallway before the classroom was breached. Busbee did not immediately reply to a message seeking comment.
It is not the first time McLaughlin has lashed out at the agency. He has previously accused it of publicly giving an incomplete and one-sided account at the same time he says local officials have been instructed to not divulge information while the investigation is ongoing.
Col. Steve McCraw, who heads DPS, has largely blamed the inaction by law enforcement on Uvlade School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo, describing him as the incident commander during the shooting.
Arredondo told the Texas Tribune that he did not believe he was in charge of the scene. He has kept a low profile since the shooting and resigned last week from his elected position on the City Council.
The report this week was drafted by the university’s Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training program. Authors of the 26-page report said they were contacted by DPS shortly after the shooting to assess the law enforcement response and that they had an approximately one-hour briefing led by an “investigating officer” who is not named.
One of the report’s most striking details was how a Uvalde police officer, armed with a rifle, watched the gunman walk toward the campus but did not fire while waiting for permission from a supervisor to shoot. The supervisor “either did not hear or responded too late,” according to the report.
McLaughlin said no Uvalde officer had a chance to shoot the gunman before entering the school, and that while an officer did see someone outside, the officer could not tell who it was.
“Ultimately, it was a coach with children on the playground, not the shooter,” McLaughlin said.
Pete Blair, the executive director of the training center that published the report, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Friday.
A separate report on the shooting is being compiled by Texas legislators who have spent weeks interviewing more than 20 witnesses and first responders behind closed doors. It is unclear when those findings will be released. | https://www.fox46.com/news/ap-top-headlines/uvalde-mayor-police-didnt-get-early-chance-to-end-massacre/ | 2022-07-09T10:37:14Z | https://www.fox46.com/news/ap-top-headlines/uvalde-mayor-police-didnt-get-early-chance-to-end-massacre/ | false | 24 |
CHICAGO (AP) — Brittney Griner is “the fun aunt,” according to Nneka Ogwumike. She is resilient and kind, Ogwumike said. A fellow daughter of Texas, and Ogwumike’s father’s favorite player.
Speaking Friday ahead of the WNBA’s All-Star festivities in Chicago, Ogwumike focused more on Griner’s humanity than her playing ability as the league continued to push for Griner’s release from her detention in Russia.
“BG, Brittney Griner, is an American hero,” said Ogwumike, an All-Star forward for the Los Angeles Sparks. “She is ours and she is yours, and we must get her home.”
Ogwumike, the president of the WNBA players’ association, joined Griner’s wife, Cherelle, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Seattle Storm star Sue Bird and union leader Terri Jackson for a press conference calling for mercy for Griner a day after the eight-time All-Star pleaded guilty to drug possession charges that could see her sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
Returning to play basketball in Russia, Griner, 31, was first detained at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport in February. Police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage.
“She’s been there 4 1/2 months, having to be transported in vehicles too small for her frame,” Sharpton said. “Incarcerated where, she’s in a place where most of the people in that place can’t speak her language. I think she’s already done a lot of time given what we’re talking about was the infraction.”
Speaking through an interpreter, Griner told the court Thursday she had no intention of committing a crime and had acted unintentionally because she had packed for Moscow in a hurry. The trial was then adjourned until July 14.
Griner’s guilty plea could be an effort by her and her advisers to expedite the court proceedings.
“BG has taken accountability, and now it is time — past time — for this to come to a conclusion,” Jackson said.
Griner’s detention comes at a low point in relations between the United States and Russia. The State Department’s designation of Griner as wrongfully detained put her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, effectively the government’s chief hostage negotiator.
President Joe Biden called Cherelle Griner on Wednesday to assure her that he’s doing all he can to win her wife’s release as soon as possible. They spoke after Biden read a letter from Brittney Griner in which she said she feared she’d never return home.
“At this point I am in the position where I understand that what they are doing is very challenging due to the circumstances with Russia and the United States right now,” Cherelle Griner said. “And so I want to make it very clear that our next move as supporters for BG is to make sure that the administration understands that they have our full support in doing any and everything necessary to be able to bring BG home as well as every other wrongfully detained American.”
Cherelle Griner, along with Ogwumike and Bird, did not answer any questions at the press conference.
After first staying quiet in the wake of Brittney Griner’s arrest, Cherelle Griner and the WNBA have stepped up their campaign for the release of the two-time Olympic gold medalist. The WNBA put a decal on each of its courts with Griner’s initials as well as her No. 42, and cleared the way for the Phoenix Mercury to pay her without it counting against the team’s salary cap.
Griner is an honorary starter for Sunday’s All-Star Game, and Jackson said the league is planning a special recognition for Cherelle and the Griner family during the contest.
“Sanctity of sport is important,” Bird said, “and as an athlete community made up of friends from countries around the world, we all feel rattled by this, and just want her home.”

Afternoon storms stick around as temperatures rise in New Mexico
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – After a lot of rainfall this past Fourth of July weekend, a drying trend is on the way to Western New Mexico. This will push the monsoon moisture east and allow better coverage of thunderstorms there, especially across the southeast plains into this afternoon.
The best location to see stronger storms will be in the upper elevations across the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez, and Sacramento Mountains into Tuesday afternoon and early evening. This rain may linger around a little longer in the southeast where monsoon moisture will remain most prevalent.
Forecast Continues Below
- Local Sports: Former St. Pius X star transfers to NMSU
- Crime: Witness recounts Fourth of July party shooting in Albuquerque
- Albuquerque: Study ranks Albuquerque top ten city for recreation
- New Mexico: Valencia County cracks down on illegal activity along ditch banks
Wednesday will most likely be the calmest and quietest day out of the work week ahead, as dry air makes it’s way across the west central and north central parts of the state. This will significantly decrease thunderstorms activity. However, moisture will stick around the southern and western parts of the state, so afternoon showers and storms are still expected in those areas. Burn scar flash flooding remains a concern with any heavier rainfall event.
Temperatures have been below average since the middle of June, but finally expected to warm back up to near or above seasonable. High’s will rise a degree or two every day of the work week ahead, before mid to possibly even upper 90s return by the weekend in the Albuquerque metro. Triple digits are possible across the south and east by early next week.

A number of Edinburgh restaurants and bars have been left furious after having to remove their outdoor terraces before the Fringe.
A decision earlier this year by the council had concluded that venues on sites such as Cockburn Street and Victoria Street should scrap their temporary terraces by July 28.
Citing the volume of tourists and visitors coming through the area as one of the main reasons for the decision, the council had stated it would be 'unsafe' to keep the structures in place.
However, with less than a month until the deadline, restaurants have hit out at the ban, warning that removing the structures will impact on their earnings and staff.

Hoping to have made extra income during the festival, a number of businesses had told the Scottish Daily Express they had hired additional staff to cover the terrace areas.
But with a permanent removal notice to come into force in weeks time, they could have to make up to 30 job losses.
Initially allowed by the council to help alleviate the difficulties of social distancing and other coronavirus restrictions, the areas will now no longer be permitted.
Speaking out on the issues, Gordon Scott, owner of Gordon’s Trattoria on the High Street, said the original deadline was July 17, three weeks before the Festival, but after talks it was extended until July 28.
Mr Scott said: "They have decided they are going to to take all the outside seating areas away. They say it’s unsafe because of the footfall in the Royal Mile in August. It's nonsense and from my perspective really frustrating.”
Expecting to bring in an additional £40,000 during August from the terrace alone, he added: "We’re happy the council has relented and they’re allowing us to keep it until the 28th, but at the same time there is despondency about the fact they have to come down permanently. They’ve said ‘Take it down and you’re not getting it back’. It’s just madness.

"You can go to any city centre in Europe and people want to sit outside – they enjoy the atmosphere, they enjoy the fresh air. Why would you take a seating facility like that away?
"They said it was because of residents complaining. I have not had a complaint at all.”
Mr Scott says the restaurants had taken on extra staff to service the patio areas and the decision to remove them would mean jobs going.
He added: “Between ourselves, the Filling Station, the Clam Shell and Treacle over the road I reckon there’s 30 jobs which will be lost.”
His daughter Daniela Scott, who manages the restaurant, said the patio had made a massive difference.
She said: “People love it – they all want to sit there. We're going to lose a lot of money. No-one was letting us know whether or not we could keep them. Cockburn Street got letters saying they could keep theirs till October, but we were left in limbo on the Mile. I was begging for someone to get back to me.
"In the end I hired five extra staff for August, including a chef, then they gave us a month's notice. I probably won’t need them now, but I’m going to have to keep them and cut everybody else's hours because there's nothing else we can do.”
The council said the decision on continuing the relaxed approach to enforcement made clear there were some streets where the structures would have to be removed earlier.
A spokesperson for the City of Edinburgh Council said: “Throughout the pandemic and beyond we have recognised how difficult it has been for businesses, particularly the hospitality sector, as well as the need for people to be able to socialise in a safe way. Support has included greater flexibility in allowing businesses to provide additional outdoor structures for their customers.
"It is considered that the commencement of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and the associated rise in pedestrians, poses an additional public health risk relating to the temporary structures. We wrote to the relevant businesses on 10 June to advise them of this, allowing more than five weeks’ notice, and have since given a week’s extension to this.”

He broke the news of his arrival on Twitter early Saturday, Jul9.
Interestingly, Tinubu left France on Friday and announced his arrival in Nigeria on his social media handles in the early hours of Saturday.
He wrote:

Gov Akeredolu opens up on why Tinubu is yet to pick a running mate
In another development, the task of selecting a running mate for Bola Tinubu is becoming difficult as the day goes by.
However, Ondo state governor Rotimi Akeredolu opened up on why the APC stalwart is yet to announce his running mate.
Akeredolu stated that Tinubu's slow pace in making a decision is very strategic as there are many factors he wants to put in check.
Election will validate Tinubu’s acceptability in southwest
An academic don, Professor Razaq Abubakre said the 2023 election will serve as a validation for Bola Tinubu's acceptability in the southwest region.
While making this remark, the professor called on Osun citizens to vote for the reelection of Governor Gboyega.
According to Professor Abubakre, the reelection of Governor Gboyaga will transcend party lines in the state.
2023: Why Wike can’t be vice presidential candidate to anyone, top PDP chieftain gives reason
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Delta state, Mr. Tive Denedo, has said that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state, was raised by providence to keep the party together.
According to the politician, Wike cannot be a Vice Presidential candidate because he cannot be second-in-command to anyone.
In an interview with newsmen at Oviri-Ogor after the leadership of the party in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta state, Denedo expressed satisfaction with the choice of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as Atiku Abubakar's running mate for the 2023 general elections.

Declan Donnelly is the youngest of seven siblings who all seem to maintain a low profile following his priest brother Dermott’s death.
The 55-year-old, a Catholic priest based in County Durham, died aged 55 after collapsing on Thursday evening.
Father Dermott was Dec’s eldest brother, alongside his other siblings Patricia, 59, Eamonn, 58, Martin, 57, Moira, 53, and Camelia, 49.
The family are very rarely seen and photographed together – the only notable sighting was on sister Moira’s 50th birthday party.
The I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here presenter can be seen in pictures taken in 2019 with his arm around his sister while holding a microphone.
The snaps are thought to have been taken in a pub in Ponteland, Newcastle, before they were shared by an Ant and Dec fan page on Twitter.
At the time, fans were loving the infrequent family photos, as they commented: "How lovely. It’s rare to see him with his siblings."
A second added: "That’s so lovely."
A third marked Moira and Dec’s resemblance, commenting: "They have the same eyes!"
Dec was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1975 to parents Alphonsus Donnelly and Anne Donnelly.
The presenter's parents originally lived in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, but moved over to Newcastle in the 1950s.
Sadly, Dec's father Alphonsus died of cancer in 2011 and it is also very rare to see Dec and his mother Anne in pictures together.
One picture from 2017 does show the pair together after he and his TV sidekick Ant were appointed OBE by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace.
The presenters received the honour for their services to broadcasting and entertainment.
In 2019, Dec’s mum actually appeared on TV. Joining Stephen Mulhern on In For A Penny.
Other than the photos of Dec with Anne and Moira, it is seemingly impossible to find snaps of the TV star with his other siblings.
Patricia, Eamonn, Martin, Moira, and Camelia manage to maintain a low profile, with no pictures appearing online and on Dec’s social media accounts.
However, also being in the spotlight, Dec was pictured several times with his late brother Dermott.
Father Dermott Donnelly officiated Dec's wedding to Ali Astall in 2015 and the TV presenter has spoken about the close relationship he had with his brother.
He was extremely close to Dec as they grew up together in Cruddas Park, in the west end of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Dec has previously spoken of his close relationship with his brother in the past, and how he considered following him into the priesthood before becoming one of the most popular TV personalities of his generation.
He said: “Growing up was like The Waltons but in Newcastle.
“We all lived in a council house in Cruddas Park in the West End. The house had three bedrooms.
“You don’t need to be a Maths genius to work out that three bedrooms and nine people equals a bit of a squeeze.
“The four boys were in two sets of bunk beds in one room, the three girls were in another and my mam and dad had the third room."
Dec continued: "My mam and dad, Anne and Alphonsus, came to Newcastle from Ireland in 1958.
"You’d often find the Donnelly clan at the Tyneside Irish Centre on a Saturday night and that was where I had my earliest performing experiences.
“Later on my brother Dermott trained to be a priest. When I was about 14 I did briefly consider following in his footsteps.
"Then, one day, I got the bus home from school and it was full of lasses from the local girls’ school, Sacred Heart.
“I knew right there and then that the priesthood wasn’t for me.” | https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/declan-donnelly-five-siblings-tv-27437704 | 2022-07-09T10:47:32Z | https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/declan-donnelly-five-siblings-tv-27437704 | false | 2 |

Gov. David Ige ordered U.S. and Hawaii flags at the state Capitol and other state buildings to fly at half-staff from sunrise to sunset Sunday in memory of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated Friday while giving a campaign speech in western Japan.
The flags are already at half-staff to honor the victims of the Fourth of July Highland Park, Ill., shooting until sunset today.
Abe, 67, was fatally shot on the street in Nara, near Kyoto, by a gunman who fired a handmade weapon at him from behind. Police arrested Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, at the scene on suspicion of murder.
Ige said in a statement Friday that he was “devastated” by Abe’s death and called him a “true friend of Hawaii.” The governor also shared a photo of the prime minister’s visit to the state in December 2016 on social media.
“In our multiple meetings, we shared stories of our past, embraced our common culture, and continued the quest for reconciliation and partnership that has developed between the United States and Japan,” Ige said.
Abe and then-President Barack Obama met at the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 27, 2016, in what was considered a landmark display of reconciliation. Abe was first sitting Japanese prime minister to visit the hallowed site.
The two world leaders presented wreaths in the shrine room, where the names of the Arizona’s fallen sailors and Marines cover a marble wall, and dropped orchids into the well that overlooks the ship’s rusting hull.
“As the prime minister of Japan,” Abe said afterward, “I offer my sincere and everlasting condolences to the souls of those who lost their lives here, as well as to the spirits of all the brave men and women whose lives were taken by a war that commenced in this very place.”
A day earlier, Abe presented a wreath at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl, placing a second wreath on the grave of U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, noting he had spent quite a bit of time with the Hawaii senator and war hero. The Japanese leader also visited Makiki Cemetery, where a monument honors the first Japanese immigrants who came to Hawaii in 1868, and the Ehime Maru Memorial at Kakaako Waterfront Park commemorating the nine Japanese citizens, including high school students, who died in 2001 when their fisheries training ship sank after being struck by a U.S. submarine.
Consul General Yutaka Aoki on Friday recalled Abe’s visit to Pearl Harbor with Obama, where they pledged to “never repeat the horrors of war and demonstrated the importance of the power of reconciliation that has made possible the strong Japan-U.S. relationship.”
Other Hawaii officials offered their condolences Friday following the announcement of Abe’s death.
“Abe was a transformational figure in Japan who dedicated his life in service of his country,” said U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono in a statement. “A friend to the United States, Prime Minister Abe fought for the Japanese people and strengthened the relationship between our two countries.”
Hawaii’s four county mayors responded to the news with similar sentiments, noting their respective counties’ sister city relationships with a number of areas in Japan.
Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi called Abe’s death “a devastating blow to those around the world who admired his principles when it came to leadership and democracy. He was a towering international figure and a champion for peace not only in the Indo-Pacific region, but in countries across the globe. Mr. Abe worked tirelessly to strengthen the bond between Japan and the state of Hawaii and prioritized the continued pursuit of reconciliation between our two nations.”
Hawaii County Mayor Mitch Roth expressed shock and sadness at Abe’s assassination and condemned violence toward elected officials. “No matter our views toward our elected officials, violence should never be the answer,” Roth said in a statement.
Maui County Mayor Michael Victorino noted that residents share “deep cultural ties with Japan,” while Kauai Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami said Abe’s “kindness and leadership have touched us all, especially here on Kaua‘i where our ties with Japan are tightly knit.”

Story at a glance
- On Friday, President Biden signed an executive order that aims to restore some access to abortion through empowering Health and Human Services (HHS).
- HHS will expand access to medication abortion and the Attorney General’s office will help provide legal assistance to those who seek lawful reproductive health care services.
- Some abortion advocates say the executive order does not go far enough and that it is only the first of many necessary steps to combat states’ restrictive abortion laws.
President Biden attempted to preserve abortion access on Friday through executive action but stopped short of restoring full access to the procedure or preventing states from enacting their own restrictions or bans.
The executive order Biden signed empowers Health and Human Services (HHS) in a variety of ways, including the authority to protect and expand access to medication abortion — something the Department of Justice also warned states of, saying they cannot ban mifepristone, a drug used to aid in abortion, as it is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Biden’s executive order also ensures that people suffering medical emergencies while pregnant, like those experiencing a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancies, cannot be denied care — potentially allowing them to receive medically necessary abortions.
HHS will also be allowed to expand access to reproductive health services — namely, access to emergency contraception and intrauterine devices (IUD). The executive order also taps into the Attorney General’s office and will organize private pro bono attorneys to help provide legal representation for patients, providers and third parties that lawfully seek reproductive health care services — like abortion.
The executive order does not stop states from limiting abortion access.
Though the executive action does target issues created in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s June decision that abortion is not considered a constitutional right — and which overturned Roe v. Wade — it doesn’t directly address access to surgical abortion for anyone that wants it.
After Roe was overturned, over a dozen states enacted trigger laws that severely restricted abortion or outright banned it. Additional states began introducing and enacting abortion restrictions, but Biden’s executive order doesn’t address what states can or cannot do when it comes to abortion access.
Abortion access was not declared a public health emergency
The order also doesn’t declare abortion a public health emergency, which would allow the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to take countless actions, including distributing more funding and personnel to health care centers and coordinating efforts between state and federal agencies.
Abortions still cannot be done on federal land
Another issue not addressed in Biden’s executive order is the Hyde Amendment, a law that prohibits using federal money on abortions, including the ability to conduct abortions on federal land. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has reiterated since 2019 that the amendment overwhelmingly harms low-income Americans and women of color — because research has shown that low-income people disproportionately seek abortions.
On Friday, Jen Klein, director of the White House Gender Policy Council, said that declaring abortion access a public health emergency wasn’t off the table, but that the White House doesn’t think it will free up many resources or release significant legal authority.
Abortion advocates want more action
Abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America reacted to Biden’s executive order by saying it was an important first step and that it looked forward to working with the Biden administration to make good on its promise to champion reproductive freedom.
Sarah Tabaie, chief political officer and communications director for #VoteProChoice, reacted to Biden’s executive order on Friday on Twitter and said in part, “what was announced today is not nearly enough of a response to the immeasurable suffering that has already started and will continue to grow as a result of the anti-choice attack on our reproductive freedom.”
Tabaie continued by criticizing Biden’s effort, saying, “a true prochoice champion would use all of the power to fight back whether through creative uses for federal land and money, meeting with abortion providers or even doing the bare minimum of giving a prime-time address so that people can see their president fighting for them.” | https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/accessibility/3550413-what-president-bidens-executive-order-on-abortion-does-not-address/ | 2022-07-09T11:13:55Z | https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/accessibility/3550413-what-president-bidens-executive-order-on-abortion-does-not-address/ | false | 1 |

Former defensive back for the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars and the University of Minnesota Jalen Myrick joined WSU’s program as an assistant coach for wide receivers. Also joining the team...

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – The Louvre, The Museum of Modern Art and ... the Hard Rock?
Hoping to expand their appeal beyond the slot machine and buffet crowd, some casinos are turning to fine art galleries or exhibitions to bring in new business from customers who might not otherwise visit a gambling hall.
In the process, they are helping not only broaden their own customer bases, but are also putting new eyeballs in front of some of the world's great works of art.
One such effort began Friday at Atlantic City's Hard Rock casino, where the highly acclaimed “Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience” exhibit opened. The 30,000-square-foot display uses over 300 of Van Gogh's works, reproducing them digitally and projecting them onto screens, walls and floors.
“The whole point of an experience like this is to bring people in,” said Fanny Curtat, the exhibit's art historian. “For a lot of people, museums are intimidating. It's all about exploring and having more ways of experiencing art.”
Joe Lupo, the casino's president, said casinos need to appeal to as broad a range of potential customers as possible.
“You need to try different experiential things to help the city acquire new visitation, whether it's art or some other experience to acquire that person who doesn't look at Atlantic City as just a gaming destination,” he said. “The Van Gogh exhibit has been successful in every major market in the country, and Atlantic City needs to be looked at as one of those major markets. I think it elevates the city and the property with such a high-profile exhibit.”
The walk-through exhibit projects Van Gogh's artwork onto the walls and floor of a viewing room, with images growing and flowing into one another: cherry trees, for example, sprout and grow blossoms, that then blow away in the breeze. Shimmering walls of color dissolve and flow into other shapes and images all around the viewer.
Other casinos are doing likewise. The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art in Las Vegas has displayed works by Picasso, Monet, Warhol, Titian and Van Gogh.
The Palms Casino Resort features modern art pieces from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Richard Prince and Andy Warhol, and numerous street artists.
MGM's Aria Resort features public art including sculptures by artists including Antony Gormley, Richard Long and Henry Moore.
The Hippodrome Casino in London in 2013 appointed a digital artist in residence, Thomas D Gray, and offers a competition for U.K. artists to have their works displayed there.
Maryland's Live! Casino & Hotel has an art collection curated by Suzi Cordish, whose husband owns the casino. The collection includes more than 40 works by artists including Warhol, Jennifer Steinkamp, Charlie Ahn, Robert Indiana and Not Vital.
“Many guests are intrigued once they realize the breath of the collection,” said Renee Mutchnik, a spokesperson for the casino. “We believe that any appreciator of the arts would be impressed by our art pieces, and we are always looking for opportunities to promote the collection.”
Placing fine art in casinos benefits not only the gambling halls by appealing to new customers, according to Curtat, the Van Gogh exhibit historian. She said it also helps create new art lovers.
“It might seem like an unlikely pairing, but if anybody gets out of this a feeling that they have this connection with Van Gogh, maybe the next time they are in New York they'll want to go to (The Museum of Modern Art) and see the actual ‘Starry Night’ on the museum wall,” Curtat said. “That will be a win.”

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — The European Union has asked Turkish Cypriot authorities in the breakaway north of ethnically divided Cyprus to toughen up measures aimed at reducing the rising number of migrants seeking asylum in the island nation’s internationally recognized south.
An EU official said Friday that the bloc “explained its concerns” about the issue and that Turkish Cypriot authorities “must do what’s necessary” to curb migrant arrivals. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition anonymity because he’s not allowed to speak about the issue publicly.
Cyprus was split along ethnic lines in 1974 when Turkey invaded following a coup aimed at union with Greece. Only Turkey recognizes a Turkish Cypriot declaration of independence. Cypriot government authorities say the overwhelming majority of migrant arrivals occurs via Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot north through a loosely regulated student visa system.
The Cypriot Interior Ministry on Friday again accused Turkey of “systematically instrumentalizing economic migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.”
The EU wants Turkish Cypriot authorities to tighten up vetting procedures for issuing such visas to prevent applicants from using them to reach northern Cyprus, cross a porous U.N.-controlled buffer zone and then seek asylum in the Greek Cypriot south. Although Turkish Cypriots receive EU funding, only the south enjoys full membership benefits.
The EU is also helping Cypriot authorities bolster monitoring and surveillance of the buffer zone to deter crossings in a way that is compatible with EU law, since the 180-kilometer (120-mile) long area isn’t a formal border.
Cyprus’ interior ministry says the number of asylum-seekers in the first half of this year amounted to 12,000 – equal to the number for all of last year. It says asylum-seekers make up an EU high of 5% of Cyprus’ 915,000 people in the south.
Meanwhile, Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar said Friday that he has proposed setting up a joint, U.N.-facilitated committee of officials from either side tasked with finding ways of curbing irregular migration as well as “strengthening security and surveillance along the buffer zone and increasing patrolling by the coast guards.”
Tatar has insisted that the only way to move forward on a peace deal in Cyprus is for Turkish Cypriots to attain equal sovereign status with the Cypriot government and agree on a two-state accord.
The EU and the U.N. Security Council say that goes against the agreed-upon settlement framework of reunifying the island as a federation composed of Greek and Turkish Cypriot zones. Greek Cypriots reject any deal that would formalize the island’s partition.

Uvalde mayor: Police didn’t get early chance to end massacre
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The mayor of Uvalde on Friday disputed a new report that alleges authorities missed chances to quickly end the massacre at a Texas elementary school, again reflecting the lack of definitive answers about the slow law enforcement response to one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history.
Mayor Don McLaughlin said no Uvalde police officer saw the gunman outside Robb Elementary School before he went inside and that none of them had an opportunity to fire on the shooter. His comments contradict a critique of the decision-making by law enforcement that was released this week by tactical response experts at Texas State University.
The differing accounts and public rebuke of the report reiterated how, more than six weeks after the May 24 shooting, questions remain about how and why police armed with rifles and bulletproof shields waited more than an hour before confronting the gunman in a fourth-grade classroom where 21 people were killed, including 19 children.
It also widened a rift between Uvalde officials and the state, particularly the Texas Department of Public Safety, which had troopers on the scene and has directed much of the blame to the local school district police chief. The new report was requested by DPS, and the findings were similar to the narrative and details that leaders of the state police force have previously given publicly.
“There were dozens of DPS troopers onsite by the time of the breach in the classroom,” McLaughlin said in a statement.
Representatives of the Department of Public Safety did not respond to requests for comment. But on Friday, the DPS told lawmakers that Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Busbee was not authorizing the agency to publicly release a 77-minute video of the school hallway before the classroom was breached. Busbee did not immediately reply to a message seeking comment.
It is not the first time McLaughlin has lashed out at the agency. He has previously accused it of publicly giving an incomplete and one-sided account at the same time he says local officials have been instructed to not divulge information while the investigation is ongoing.
Col. Steve McCraw, who heads DPS, has largely blamed the inaction by law enforcement on Uvlade School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo, describing him as the incident commander during the shooting.
Arredondo told the Texas Tribune that he did not believe he was in charge of the scene. He has kept a low profile since the shooting and resigned last week from his elected position on the City Council.
The report this week was drafted by the university’s Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training program. Authors of the 26-page report said they were contacted by DPS shortly after the shooting to assess the law enforcement response and that they had an approximately one-hour briefing led by an “investigating officer” who is not named.
One of the report’s most striking details was how a Uvalde police officer, armed with a rifle, watched the gunman walk toward the campus but did not fire while waiting for permission from a supervisor to shoot. The supervisor “either did not hear or responded too late,” according to the report.
McLaughlin said no Uvalde officer had a chance to shoot the gunman before entering the school, and that while an officer did see someone outside, the officer could not tell who it was.
“Ultimately, it was a coach with children on the playground, not the shooter,” McLaughlin said.
Pete Blair, the executive director of the training center that published the report, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Friday.
A separate report on the shooting is being compiled by Texas legislators who have spent weeks interviewing more than 20 witnesses and first responders behind closed doors. It is unclear when those findings will be released. | https://thehill.com/homenews/ap/ap-top-headlines/uvalde-mayor-police-didnt-get-early-chance-to-end-massacre/ | 2022-07-09T11:20:53Z | https://thehill.com/homenews/ap/ap-top-headlines/uvalde-mayor-police-didnt-get-early-chance-to-end-massacre/ | false | 24 |

Many Britons are happy to see Prime Minister Boris Johnson go, but he'll be sorely missed in Ukraine.
Johnson was the first Western leader to visit Kyiv during the war, taking the train to meet Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelenskyy. He returned for a second visit.
Ukrainians saw support from European Union leaders Emmanuel Macron of France and Germany's Olaf Scholz as tepid. But not Johnson. Britain has spent more than £2 billion on military hardware and humanitarian aid for Ukraine, second only to the U.S.
Zelenskyy hailed Johnson's support for his country, thanking him for the "cool antitank systems" — the NLAW — as well as air defense weapons, artillery, ammunition, armored vehicles and more.
In his final speech, Johnson said one reason he fought so hard to stay in power was because of his duty to Ukrainians.
Ukrainians fondly called him "Boris Johnsonyuk," transforming his Instagram account ID, Boris Johnson UK, into a Ukrainian name.
In the streets of Dnipro, Ukrainians expressed their admiration for Johnson and disappointment at his departure.
"It's very sad," said Alice Tkachenko. "Because Boris Johnson is helping Ukraine every time. And I can't believe this happened."
"I really respect him because he was not afraid of being here and he supported Ukraine a lot," said Max Ostapchuck.
No one in Ukraine seemed to understand why Johnson was ousted. No one knew anything about secret COVID parties or other transgressions.
There was an outpouring of love for Johnson across the country.
One café in Kyiv made cakes named after him with a creamy topping that resembled his blonde mop hairstyle. The cakes were called "Boris Johnsonyuk."
And the Silpo chain of grocery stores — one of the biggest in Ukraine — put a design of Johnson's iconic hairstyle above the "i" in its name.
Another Dnipro resident, Olga Ponmarenko, said it feels like Ukraine has lost a friend.
"We really loved him," she said. "He didn't make many statements and we didn't understand him, but he sent planes full of weapons. Honestly, I can't imagine Ukraine without Boris Johnson."

TO make up for the past two years, we've packed this summer full of festivals, BBQs and mini-breaks.
But considering how we spent the best part of 18 months living in tracksuit bottoms and sweatshirts, it's been a bit of a shock to the system to be out and about wearing tight-fitting clothes again.
Feel our pain? Then fashion influencer Jess is here to help.
Earlier this week, the social media star - who boasts over 300,000 followers on TikTok - posted a YouTube video sharing five simple ways you can make your summer wardrobe more comfortable if you're conscious of your tummy.
She explained: "The right underwear is so so important because it can either make or break your outfit."
To avoid any visible panty lines, Jess recommended buying seamless underwear and also getting them in one size bigger than usual.
Showing her favourite Primark thongs, Jess said: "I size up and then wear them super high-waisted.
"I do find that helps to smooth out the lower stomach."

What's more, Jess' go-to undies come in a pack of three for just £5.
Next up, the fashion fan recommended snapping up some shapewear in the same thong style.
Opting for a super high-waisted bodysuit, Jess says it cinches her in in all the right places for special occasions.
However, Jess said it's important not to get into the habit of wearing them everyday.
She added: "I wouldn't recommend wearing shapewear every single day though - I just think it can really ruin your self-esteem as you might not like your body without it and it's important to like your body just the way it is."

What's more, the style influencer swears by incorporating "overlayers" - - such as oversized shirts, denim jackets and blazers -on top of bodycon dresses.
Jess added: "I think this is really nice [as it gives more coverage] if you're insecure about your arms or lower stomach.
"And if you're feeling particularly comfortable, you can just take them off [...] it looks a bit more classy than just wearing a tight dress."
To draw the eye away from any areas you don't feel comfortable with, Jess said to look out for skirts and dresses with extra details like wrap bows or knots.
For instance, the fashionista particularly loves her burnt orange ruched satin mini skirt that has a tie at the front.
She added: "Look for skirts and dresses that have a tie or wrap as it's super flattering - just anything that's going to distract from the stomach instead of a flat [surface]."
And while we've always been too scared to give ruching a go, Jess says the style should be a mid-size girl's best friend.
"It really helps to smooth out your stomach," she said. "It's important where you place the ruch.
"I place it right underneath my stomach so you get a flattering effect [...]
"It's way more flattering than a straight slinky material."
Meanwhile, the fashionista says it's worth going for higher-quality brands on your bodycon dresses where you can as their materials tend to be thicker - which makes for a more flattering fit.
"I usually get my dresses from Oh Polly or House of CB," Jess said. "Some of the more expensive dresses can be made of the shapewear material so they kind of do what the shapewear does for you."
For day-to-day, Jess will often wear darker colours on her bottom half as they can be more slimming and offset this with pops of colour on her top half.
"It helps balance out my body," she said. "As my lower body is bigger than the top and black masks your stomach." | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19143117/mid-size-tight-clothes-uncomfortable-tummy-primark/ | 2022-07-09T11:46:25Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19143117/mid-size-tight-clothes-uncomfortable-tummy-primark/ | false | 4 |
Like most Republicans, I am hoping for our party to make gains in the general election this fall. But first, we must vote in the primary to choose candidates to run against our Democrat opponents. For Republican candidates to have any hope of prevailing in the general election, they must be moderate, not right-wing.
Though I am a Republican, I vote for the candidate I think will best serve the citizens, regardless of party. If the primary produces candidates who are not moderate, not only will they not attract Democrat voters (and there are more Democrat voters than Republican voters), but some Republicans such as myself would seriously have to consider whom to vote for.
So, if you are a Republican and want your party to succeed this fall, do two things:
1) Vote in the primary, and
2) Choose moderate candidates who will have a chance of winning in the general election.

Police in Kasangati are investigating the circumstances under which the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for Bukwo District, Charles Ogwang was shot and his car set ablaze.
The incident happened last night at 11:00 am at Kiryowa, Mabanda, Bombo Road near Banu Petrol Station.
It is reported that several gunshots were heard at the hour, and police officers from both Matuga and Kasangati police stations responded by dashing to the scene.
On reaching the scene, officers found a vehicle registration number UG 0865Z up in flames, and Ogwang was still inside it but injured. It is believed that the bullets lit up the car.
“The Police fire prevention and rescue services responded and managed to extinguish the burning vehicle,” a statement from Kampala Metropolitan Police reads in part.
“It is alleged that while Ogwang was travelling in the said motor vehicle, unidentified assailants shot at him several times causing injuries to him, first responders from a nearby clinic had to rush him to Bombo Military Hospital where he succumbed to the bullet injuries this morning at around 4 am,” the statement continues.
Police state that the motive of the assailants is not yet known, but investigations have been launched.
Ogwang became CAO for Bukwo after his predecessor Swaib Balaba was relieved of his duties by Local Government Minister Raphael Magyezi over alleged abuse of office and corruption.
During his first days in office, Ogwang interdicted four officers over alleged embezzlement and mismanagement of public funds. | https://nilepost.co.ug/2022/07/09/bukwo-district-cao-shot-dead-in-bombo-car-burnt/ | 2022-07-09T11:48:31Z | https://nilepost.co.ug/2022/07/09/bukwo-district-cao-shot-dead-in-bombo-car-burnt/ | true | 1 |
Nick Kyrgios makes BIG statement ahead of Wimbledon 2022 Final against Novak Djokovic, says THIS
The mercurial 27-year-old Kyrgios made it to his maiden Grand Slam final after his semifinal opponent, Spanish stalwart Rafael Nadal withdrew from the grass-court major due to an abdominal injury.

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios is appalled with not seeing any support for him from his country's former players in his run to the Wimbledon final against 20-time Grand Slam singles champion Novak Djokovic. The mercurial 27-year-old Kyrgios made it to his maiden Grand Slam final after his semifinal opponent, Spanish stalwart Rafael Nadal withdrew from the grass-court major due to an abdominal injury. The world No. 40, whose best showing in a major before his Wimbledon success was reaching the 2015 Australian Open quarterfinal, also indicated he is being made to feel like an outcast.
Eight years later, @NickKyrgios is a Wimbledon quarter-finalist again#Wimbledon | #CentreCourt100 pic.twitter.com/zag33AmCzI — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 4, 2022
"As for the greats of Australian tennis, they haven't always been the nicest to me personally," Kyrgios was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald, a day before his title clash against the Serbian ace. "They haven't always been supportive. They haven't been supportive these two weeks. So it's hard for me to kind of read things that they say about me. It's pretty sad because I don't get any support from any of the other Australian tennis players, the male side," he said, adding that 2002 Wimbledon singles champion and Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt was an exception.
Former Australian player and 1987 Wimbledon singles champion, Pat Cash has been critical of Kyrgios' on-court behaviour at SW19, and has called on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) to take action against the player. "Kyrgios has taken tennis to the lowest level I can see in terms of gambling, cheating, manipulation, abuse and aggressive behaviour in front of chair umpires and line judges. Something has to be done about it. He has turned some matches into a circus and this cannot be tolerated," Cash commented on the BBC.
Stefanos Tsitsipas had accused Kyrgios of being a bully and possessing an "evil side" in his post-match press conference after the Greek lost his high-intensity third-round match at Wimbledon. Kyrgios accused former players of having a "sick obsession" to run him down. "Not the (current) players, but like the past greats. It's weird they just have like a sick obsession with tearing me down for some reason. I don't know what it is. But it sucks because if it was roles reversed if I saw (Australian players Alex) de Minaur in a final, or if I saw Jordan Thompson or Thanasi (Kokkinakis) I'd be pumped. I'd be stoked. I'd be having a pint watching going nuts," said Kyrgios.

Temperatures in Derby and Derbyshire are hotting up this week as a heatwave arrives in some parts of the country. Most of the county will reach almost 30C on Monday, July 11, as temperatures rise over the weekend.
High pressure will cause dry, warm and settled weather across much of the UK, with the warm spell being formally declared a heatwave in some parts of southern and central England. According to the Met Office, the East Midlands remains in a Level 2 Heat Health Alert, with a 70 per cent probability of heatwave conditions.
A Level 2 alert means healthcare services start to get ready to reduce any potential harm caused by the hot weather. People are advised to ensure they take the necessary precautions when outside, and when undertaking activities such as walking dogs.

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 for many areas."

SITKA, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska family had given up hope of finding their blind, elderly golden retriever who wandered away from their home three weeks ago, but a construction crew found Lulu in salmonberry bushes after initially confusing her for a bear.
Lulu was barely alive after being found Tuesday, but she is being nursed back to health and is back home with her family, the Daily Sitka Sentinel reported.
“She means everything,” owner Ted Kubacki said. “I have five daughters and they’re 4 to 13 years old, so they’ve spent every day of their life with that dog.”
The Kubacki family searched for weeks after Lulu wandered off June 18.
“She’s just so helpless, and you kind of imagined that she can’t get real far because she can’t see,” he said.
It didn’t help when the family was the subject of a terrible joke when someone claimed they found Lulu a few days into the search.
“We put the kids to bed and got a text saying, ‘We found your dog,’ or ‘I have your dog,’ and we’re like, ‘Oh my god, this is incredible,’” he said. “Then the person texted me, ‘Just kidding.’ This happened, yeah, that was all part of this terrible story.”
After searching weeks, the family had given up hope.
But then a construction crew this week spotted Lulu lying in the brush alongside a road not far from the Kubacki’s home. She was about 15 feet (4.57 meters) down an embankment, and at first the crew thought it was a bear.
“They got a closer look and they realized that it was a dog, and they got her out of there,” Kubacki said.
All the sadness melted away when he got the call that Lulu had been found.
“I called my wife from work and it was just screaming… She just starts yelling, then she yells to the kids. And I just hear them screaming like crazy,” Kubacki said.
Although alive, Lulu was in bad shape. The 80-pound (36.29-kilogram) dog had dropped 23 pounds (10.43 kilograms) since she was lost; she was dehydrated, dirty and her fur was matted.
“I just expected to come back and be like ‘Hey, here’s my dog.’ She’s going to jump up and wag her tail and kiss my face, and she couldn’t even pick up her head,” he said. “She’d been through the wringer.”
Lulu’s condition has markedly improved with medical care, food and rest.
“Slowly but surely she started eating and she was kind of able to pick her head up,” Kubacki said. “But then yesterday, she propped herself up on her front paws by herself, like nestled into me and gave me a kiss and wagged her tail and it was just so great.”
A day later, she was able to stand on her own.
Kubacki, a grocery store employee and the sole provider for his family of seven, then worried about the veterinarian’s bill.
Those fears were unfounded as Sitka residents donated hundreds of dollars to cover Lulu’s recuperation bills.
“We have our family member home,” Kubacki said. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/weird/blind-older-dog-found-in-alaska-3-weeks-after-wandering-off/ | 2022-07-09T11:55:28Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/weird/blind-older-dog-found-in-alaska-3-weeks-after-wandering-off/ | true | 38 |
Glenburn and Palermo, a pair of small towns in Maine, would normally be of little concern to New Yorkers. But a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June may turn out to be very much worth this state’s attention.
The court’s conservative majority further chipped away at the wall of separation between church and state that the framers of the U.S. Constitution erected in the First Amendment. And some fear it could lead to more decisions requiring taxpayers to fund parochial schools.
Fewer than half of Maine’s districts have a high school, and the state has long opted to provide tuition assistance to students in those areas to attend state-approved private schools. The state, however, excludes religious schools, prompting a lawsuit on behalf of two families who wanted reimbursement to send their children to parochial schools.
The court majority ruled that if the state provides a benefit to private schools, it can’t withhold that benefit from some institutions just because they’re parochial. The decision cited an earlier case in which the court said Missouri could not exclude a church from a program to provide funds for playgrounds.
People are also reading…
The court’s willingness to blur the line between church and state showed up in another ruling last month concerning school prayer. The court found that a football coach in Bremerton, Wash., was within his rights to pray on the 50-yard line after games, another decision that cast aside decades of precedent when it came to prohibiting religious activities at public school events. The court majority argued that because the game was over, the coach was on his own time, so his actions were unofficial.
The nation’s founders keenly understood history’s lessons about the perils of state endorsement of religion, and crafted the First Amendment’s religious protection broadly in order to stand the test of time. These two decisions, alarmingly, demonstrate the determination of a court majority that seems intent on eroding, if not dismantling, that wall, and how quickly the edifice could fall.

Gov. Kathy Hochul is a real professional when it comes to talking about transparency. When it comes to actually being transparent, well, she’s much less polished.
No matter what Hochul or legislative leadership says, time was not of the essence here. Hochul and Democrats in the legislature read the political tea leaves regarding Roe v. Wade and introduced dozens of abortion-related bills with plenty of tie to be approved before the end of the legislative session on June 3. Yet we’re expected to believe they were caught sleeping regarding the Supreme Court’s decision in NYSPRA v. Bruen when even the New York Times noticed Justice Clarence Thomas’ questions during oral arguments of the Bruen case hinted that the state’s concealed carry law may be ruled unconstitutional. The Times wrote about the issue twice in a five-day span in November, yet Hochul and company didn’t have this tide-turning package of legislation ready until after the decision was announced?
That’s hardly believable. At the very least, the session could have been scheduled once the legislation had been finished and filed so that the public and their elected representatives on both sides of the aisle had a chance to review it.
Regardless of one’s stance on the Second Amendment or the state’s conceal carry laws, we should all be able to agree that this process stunk. This level of secrecy should be reserved for nuclear launch codes and, maybe, plot twists for Hollywood productions. But when it comes to legislation that affects people’s constitutional rights, the state owes it to its residents to involve the people’s elected representatives in the process before the day a vote is scheduled. And, when you think about it, Democrats didn’t just shut out Republican legislators from these discussions, they shut out the hundreds of millions of state residents who elected those Republican legislators.

New Yorkers can bid a not-so-fond farewell to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics. The state ethics watchdog, which was deeply hobbled by its members’ ties to the lawmakers who appointed them, held its last meeting Tuesday. Good riddance.
JCOPE’s 11-year tenure was marked by in-fighting and could never be taken seriously (it was derisively called JJOKE) as a check on government’s ethical lapses. Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders made sure of that by putting hacks in charge.
And sure enough, Cuomo was able to breeze through an ethically tarred tenure until he was forced out not by JCOPE but by Attorney General Tish James, furious lawmakers and outrage from the public (including us).
This year, Gov. Kathy Hochul and the Legislature created a new 11-member Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government, which will replace JCOPE beginning this month. Yet the new group suffers from the same basic flaw as its predecessor: the people its members are supposed to police — i.e., Hochul, lawmakers and their staffs — are the very ones who’ll appoint them.
Yes, the deans of 15 law schools will now be charged with vetting nominees to assure their “undisputed honesty, integrity and character.” And the nominating committee can reject candidates it finds lacking.
That’s an improvement, but the governor and legislative leaders will still get to choose the “cops” who’ll police them. Commissioners selected that way will always be tainted by the appearance of a lack of independence.

The Jiande Original Landscape Music Festival 2022 is held in Jiande, Hangzhou The event, held on a weather-perfect summer evening, comes to a successful conclusion
JIANDE, China, July 9, 2022 /CNW/ -- On the evening of July 9, the opening ceremony of the 20th China 17℃ Jiande Xin'an River Culture and Tourism Festival, organized by popular Zhejiang radio station FM96.8 and featured alongside the Jiande Original Landscape Music Festival 2022, took place in Hangzhou's Jiande Aviation Town. The poetic beauty of Jiande's landscape was highlighted with the hosting of the event on a perfect summer evening accompanied by a gentle breeze.
The summer music festival took place on Jiande Aviation Town's expansive, grassy lawn, creating a romantic nighttime ambiance.
During the opening ceremony, the organizer gave a presentation, themed a "Liveable Jiande for Common Prosperity", on what is on offer in and around Jiande for the interested visitor. The presentation included descriptions of the area's 21 walking tours, with something on tap for every kind of interest including tours focusing on local culture, the area's tourism highlights, sports, what's fun to do in Jiande, and what's worthwhile to buy there. The presenter also spent a few minutes reviewing the highlights of previous editions of the event.
The event started with a spectacular butterfly drone show.
The Jiande Original Landscape Music Festival 2022 featured the top 10 original music works that had been selected by an expert panel. The selection was the result of a six-month process that had started with 325 entries from which 50 were chosen in a first round and then 20 in a second round. The ultimate 10 winners were chosen from the 20 finalists. A number of the musicians displayed their affection for Jiande and its unique landscape by creating several music genres of songs about the county-level city, including folk, rap and R&B. One contribution stood out for its lyrics "I've heard of a place called Jiande and its famous landscape, the plum blossoms fall, it's beyond words, the amazing beauty of Daciyan and Lover's Valley…"
By creating original songs about Jiande, the musicians not only celebrated the poetic beauty and vitality of the city and of the Zhejiang province, but also highlighted the hospitality of the area's denizens who warmly welcome visitors from around the world. Everyone in attendance immersed themselves in the charming music festival that was like a midsummer night's dream.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana can now enforce its ban on almost all abortions under a judge’s order issued Friday amid a flurry of court challenges to state “trigger” laws crafted to take effect when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
The decision came the same day President Joe Biden issued an executive order to protect access to abortion in states where it is still legal and mitigate the potential penalties women seeking the procedure may face after the high court’s ruling on June 24.
Days after the Supreme Court decision, Louisiana District Judge Robin Giarrusso issued a temporary restraining order banning enforcement of the state legislation in response to a lawsuit filed by a north Louisiana abortion clinic and others.
State District Judge Ethel Julien said Friday that she did not have the authority to extend the restraining order because she had concluded the suit should not have been filed in her court. She said the suit’s claims that provisions in the law are unconstitutionally vague and inconsistent are matters involving legislation, and therefore should be heard in state court in the capital, Baton Rouge.
The ruling was a victory for Attorney General Jeff Landry and lawyers for the state, who argued that the lawsuit had been improperly filed in New Orleans.
Attorneys for the law’s challengers did not detail their next step, but said they would continue to press the case in Baton Rouge. “This was a decision on a technicality that had nothing to do with the merits of our case, which were not discussed or considered by the parties or the court today,” said lead attorney Joanna Wright. “This fight is far from over.”
Immediately after Julien ruled, Amy Irvin, a spokeswoman for abortion clinics in New Orleans and Baton Rouge said no procedures or counseling were scheduled at either in the coming days. However, she added that the decision doesn’t mean the clinics will shut down. She said clinic operators would await action at the state court in Baton Rouge before deciding their next action.
The administrator of the Hope Medical Group for Women in Shreveport, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, told The Associated Press that clinic staff were canceling all abortion appointments scheduled for Saturday. Kathaleen Pittman said no procedures or consultations had been scheduled for Friday. She said the clinic would continue to schedule appointments for women to receive ultrasounds and counseling next week.
“It’s upsetting. It’s very difficult. It’s a very difficult day indeed,” Pittman said.
At the courthouse, Landry cautioned clinics and doctors against providing abortions following Julien’s ruling. “If they continue to operate, they do so under their own risk,” Landry said.
About 60 protesters gathered outside the courthouse Friday waving signs that read, “Abortion is healthcare” and “Do you want women to die?” The demonstrators, who want to keep the state’s abortion clinics open, criticized Landry, who has been a staunch defender of efforts to outlaw abortion across the state.
Abortion rights advocates in numerous states have filed court challenges to laws restricting the procedure. In Mississippi, home of the case that led to the Supreme Court decision, attorneys for the state’s sole abortion clinic filed a petition on Thursday asking the state’s highest court to temporarily block a new law that bans most abortions. The attorneys made the request on the day the law took effect and two days after a Mississippi judge rejected the same request.

The story has been edited to clarify that Julien did not lift the order, per se, but said she had no authority to extend it after determining the case didn’t belong in her court.

A number of Sikh oganisations have expressed concerns with the potential outcome of a local box-office sensation revolving around Mat Kilau, a Malay warrior from the Malaysian state of Pahang.
Though released as a fictional action movie, the way nationalism is promoted in ‘Mat Kilau: Kebangkitan Pahlawan’ can cause a racial divide in a multi-racial country like Malaysia, according to a joint statement by three Sikh organisations.
“It has tendency to promote ill-will against the minorities as they are shown as oppressors and barbaric in the film,” according to a statement released by the Malaysian Gurdwaras Council (MGC), Khalsa Diwan Malaysia (KDM) and Sikh Naujawan Sabha Malaysia (SNSM). A copy of the statement was emailed to Asia Samachar. See below for the full text.
In a separate statement, the Malaysian chapter of humanitarian agency United Sikhs expressed concern that the hit film may cause religious and racial misunderstanding.
“While expressing appreciation for the film’s attempt to portray Malay struggles against British imperialism, the group said it was regretful that those from other races and religions were portrayed as villains,” it said. “In view of this, United Sikhs urged the Malaysian film industry not to produce other movies at the expense of hurting religious and racial sentiments.” See below for the full text.
In response to the United Sikhs statement, National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) said in a statement released yesterday (July 8) that it will not stop or restrict production of work of art, but has urged the creative industry to be mindful of the ‘sensitivities of movie goers in this nation that is rich with various cultures and faiths’.
It added that it had supplied funding to the Mat Kilau filmmakers through the Digital Content Fund, which is aimed at providing a conducive post-production environment for the film’s development.
As of Thursday (June 30), one local media report said the local box-office phenomenon had grossed RM23.3 million in just seven days, according to information shared by the film’s studio and local cinema operators on social media.
Look out for Asia Samachar’s review of the movie. Coming soon your way.
FULL JOINT STATEMENT FROM MGC, SNSM AND KDM
Date: 08/07/2022
Subject: Film MAT KILAU has tendency to promote hatred towards minorities.
The Malaysian Gurdwaras Council (MGC) had received complaints from some Sikh Gurdwara Committee Members about the film ‘MAT KILAU’. As a responsible organisation before it could act, the MGC President and the Secretary saw the film of the Malay warrior MAT KILAU on 6/07/2022.
- The Film appears to rally Nationalism amongst the Malays. The common theme that runs through the film is fight for “Bangsa dan Agama” and for “Tanah Melayu”. This itself is not wrong. The Non-Malay characters are painted as Barbaric and evil. The film shows the Sikh soldiers who were employed by the British Army brutally attacking and maiming women, children and the elderly. In one scene the Sikh soldier is shown mercilessly kicking an expectant mother who is in advanced stage of pregnancy. Since throughout the film only Sikh soldiers were shown, this has resulted in the Sikh soldiers being seen as Barbaric.
- The Sikhs during the Mughal rule in India fought against oppression and never laid a hand on a woman, child or the elderly. During Mughal rule of India an invader Ahmad Shah Abdali from Afghanistan had invaded India a few times to plunder and when returning taking along hundreds, sometimes thousands of girls as slaves. It is recorded fact of History that the Sikhs would confront the returning Ahmad Shah Abdali forces and after freeing women would send them back honourably to their homes. In a recent example, during the Kashmir riots about 2 years ago, curfew was imposed throughout Kashmir. Some about 30 Muslim college girls took shelter in a Gurdwara amongst others and asked for help to be sent home as they were from other states. The Sikhs made arrangements for their transport and putting their lives in danger sent the girls personally to their homes to ensure they were safe and giving transport to others. This was reported in major Indian and Pakistan Newspapers and there were photos of reunion of the girls with their families. See Quotations below:
“Sikh provide sanctuary to Kashmiris caught in ‘revenge’ attacks (Al Jazeera, 22 Feb 2019)
They were welcomed by volunteers from the Sikh Community, who fed them, gave them shelter in a Sikh Temple (called “Gurdwara”) and arranged transport for them to go back to their homes. The Sikh volunteers gave us food and accommodation and arranged 13 vehicles for more than 100 of us to go home together, Shabad said”.
From article “Restored our Faith in Humanity: Kasmiris thank Sikhs for help”.

- The way Nationalism is promoted in MAT KILAU film can cause a racial divide in a multi-racial country like Malaysia. It has tendency to promote ill-will against the minorities as they are shown as oppressors and Barbaric in the film. The film makers should have been more responsible and portray the true history and not add fiction to portray the Non-Malays as Barbaric and Inhumane. The minorities can be easy targets if feelings of the majority were aroused due to misinformation contained in the film.
- History books show that the rebellion was led by Tok Gajah, Mat Kilau, Dato Bahaman etc. against the British who were assisted by some Malay chiefs and the Sultan. In Serambi Dakwah (Friday June 5, 2009) is stated: “Unfortunately, the Sultan himself welcomed their (British) arrival having been taken in by their convincing promises”. In the book “The Sikh Police Contingent” by Karam Singh PBS, it is recorded: In January 1891, Tengku Mahmud (the Sultan’s eldest son and the regent) with about 200 followers and the British with 60 Sikh Policemen, erected 2 stockades in Semantan area against the rebels; In May 1892, Tengku Ali (sultan’s second son) with 300 men captured Batu Hempar killing one of Bahaman’s sons. These instances show that it was not a Malay versus Non-Malay fight as portrayed by the film. A lot of Malay chiefs had joined the British in fight and rebelled against taxation imposed.
- The film makers should understand that we are living in a multi-racial country. There is no colonial master anymore. Malays are no more colonised and are in power. Thus, the theme of the film is out of place especially as it is claimed as fiction. They should have been guided by the Rukun Negara and promote unity in the film. The film has a tendency to promote racial divide amongst the various races. This is a disservice to the Nation done by the film makers. We call upon the film makers to act responsibly and not to produce films which are historically wrong and have tendency to divide the races in our multi-cultural and multi-religious country
This MGC statement is issued jointly with the Khalsa Diwan Malaysia (KDM) and the Sikh Naujawan Sabha Malaysia (SNSM).
Signed: Jagir Singh, President, Malaysian Gurdwaras Council
FULL STATEMENT FROM UNITED SIKHS MALAYSIA
We at UNITED SIKHS MALAYSIA humbly advise that the new local movie, MAT KILAU which is supposedly a historical film, has fictional components that may create religious and racial misunderstanding.
The film is inspired by the Malaysian historical figure Mat Kilau (1865-1970) who fought against British imperialism in Pahang. The film shows the spirit of the Malays, who are determined to defend Tanah Melayu.
However, regretfully it portrays members of other race and religion as villains. We believe this can lead to a racial disharmony. In particular, we note that turbaned-Sikhs who were British soldiers in the movie were portrayed to have laid hands on old folks, children, and helpless citizens. These parts were added by the producers to make a compelling storyline.
The Sikh code of practice prohibits laying hands on old folks, children, women and helpless citizens even during war.
Whilst the controversial scenes in the movie were fictional, it is distasteful and hurts the sentiments of Sikhs.
We humbly urge the Malaysian Film Industry NOT to produce movies at the expense of hurting religious and racial sentiments and those which have the potential to create religious and racial misunderstanding.
(Dated: 7 July 2022)

A bighearted trainee barber gave free haircuts for a month to help Glasgow's most struggling families 'look good and feel good'.
Aston Halstead chopped, shaved and trimmed around three barnets a day throughout June for nothing. The 17-year-old is based at The Fading Ape in Tollcross.
What started as the odd freebie to get practice in became a bit of a charity mission for the teenager who reaped the rewards of offering haircuts to those forced to go without.

Aston, from Mount Vernon, told Glasgow Live: "Most girls can get their nails or make-up done to feel good, guys only really have a haircut. With the cost of living just now, lots of people can't afford it.
"I was doing free haircuts as practice but then I wanted to help and do more. I posted on a local Facebook page and ended up doing around three a day for the month of June.
"Mums would message me as their boys hadn't had their hair cut in months and were so grateful. One guy tried to cut his own hair before coming to me and it was a mess, he loved looking fresh again.
"They felt good and it made me feel good as well, knowing I was helping when money is tight."
In a bid to avoid 'being forced to go work on a building site' Aston got into barbering full-time after sweeping the floors at a salon in Dennistoun before completing college and securing a traineeship at The Fading Ape.
"I love how with barbering, you're always talking to people," he added.
"I've become really passionate about it and like how you can help give people a whole new look."

The watering hole urges struggling families to get in touch privately to access the parcels, even if they have more than one child. Bar chiefs, who launched the charity mission on Monday, stress that the gesture is aimed purely at local youngsters.

Danville man sentenced to prison in July 2021 shooting of store manager
DANVILLE, Va. (WFXR) — A man will spend seven years in prison after being accused of shooting his manager in the head at a Danville store last summer.
The Danville Police Department says officers responded to a 911 call about a shooting at 3316 Riverside Drive inside the American Freight, Furniture, Mattress, and Appliance at 2:25 p.m. on July 14, 2021.
Authorities say Jaivon Alonzo Scott, a Danville resident, was an American Freight employee and was at work at the time of the incident.

Three officers reportedly had to chase him down before they took him into custody nearby and recovered a small caliber handgun.
Meanwhile, the manager was brought to the hospital with a single gunshot wound to the head and managed to survive.
Police announced at the time of the incident that Scott had been charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, discharging a firearm in an occupied building, shooting a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Danville man arrested for murder following death of NC teenScott’s attorney argued that Scott was experiencing a difficult time in his life following the death of his father.
However, Danville’s Commonwealth’s Attorney countered by saying Scott was “not going through anything that most of us don’t go through.”
According to Danville Circuit Court records, Scott pleaded guilty to some of the charges in early May and sentenced on Friday, July 1 for the following:
- Malicious wounding: Sentenced to 10 years with eight years suspended, for a total of two years in prison
- Possession of a firearm by a felon: Sentenced to five years with three years suspended, for a total of two years in prison
- Use of a firearm in the commission of a felony: Sentenced to three years
Following his seven-year sentence, Scott is set to spend 18 months under supervised probation.

United Imaging To Feature Leaders of Choice Program, Innovative Purchasing Models, and World's-First Equipment at AHRA in Phoenix
Leaders of Choice is the educational program United Imaging and AHRA Announced Jointly in May.
HOUSTON, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- United Imaging confirmed that its Houston-based U.S. leadership team will be on hand in Phoenix for the AHRA (Association for Medical Imaging Management) Annual Meeting starting this weekend.
The two organizations announced the Leaders of Choice program in the spring; the three year program will run for a full year, starting with a half day workshop at AHRA's 2022 Annual Meeting in Phoenix followed by 9 webinars, and culminating at AHRA 2023. Leaders of Choice will prepare senior imaging professionals to be the confident, next-level leaders needed to manage the increasingly complex healthcare environment. In addition to growing overall business skills, presentation skills, and financial acumen, participants will be challenged to be bold thinkers, capable of changing the status quo and choosing the path forward for their organizations. The program is facilitated by AHRA's long-time partner Traction Business Development.
United Imaging, which has historically broken from industry norms to take a case-by-case approach on whether to have a traditional booth at each industry meeting in which it participates, will have a large booth at AHRA with two pieces of equipment this year. The company, which manufactures equipment for the U.S. market in four different modalities, will show two of its pioneering systems. The uMR OMEGA™ is the world's first 75 cm, ultra-wide-bore MRI with a 60 cm field of view and high homogeneity. The uCT® ATLAS is a 640-slice system with an 82 cm bore featuring uAI®AI-IR, the world's first combination of deep learning and iterative reconstruction.
Beyond the leading technical specs, United Imaging is well known for pioneering disruptive approaches for purchasing and maintaining medical imaging equipment. That's something the company says it is uniquely positioned to do because it exerts higher-than-normal supply chain control in its manufacturing, which in turn has a positive impact on quality, speed, and costs that United Imaging redirects into helping customers get more from their equipment. A marquis example is Software Upgrades for Life™ where the company provides the latest software upgrades, including new features and packages, at no charge to its installed base, so their machines stay modern and continue to perform at the highest possible level over time. This breaks the traditional model where the industry typically charges heavy fees for the delivery of new functionality.
"I would simply ask customers in this market whether they have ever seen this offered," suggested Jeffrey M. Bundy, Ph.D., CEO of United Imaging Healthcare Solutions. "Ask anyone else in the market to explain how they provide a commitment for such value-filled continuing improvement and new capabilities over time. We should all be challenged to show how we offer ongoing improvements to imaging providers, because that's what patients ultimately deserve."
ABOUT UNITED IMAGING
At United Imaging, we develop and produce advanced medical products, digital healthcare solutions, and intelligent solutions that cover the entire process of imaging diagnosis and treatment. Founded in 2011, our company has subsidiaries and R&D centers across the world. Our North American headquarters in Houston includes our corporate offices, factory, product showroom, service training center, and service parts distribution center.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Steven Alker shot a bogey-free 4-under 66 on Friday for a share of the second-round lead in the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship with Joe Durant, Tim Petrovic and Alex Cejka.
A three-time winner this season and the Charles Schwab Cup points leader, Alker had three straight birdies on Nos. 14-16 on his first nine and added another on the par-5 second on Firestone’s South Course.
“First of all, it’s nice to have a bogey-free round at Firestone” the 51-year-old New Zealander said. “It’s that type of golf course, you’ve just got to keep going. But kind of everything, drove it in the fairway for the most part today and hit a lot of greens except for the last few. I scrambled nicely the last couple holes.
“Overall, just a solid day. Kind of kept my nose clean and haven’t done too much wrong. A few more putts would be nice, but yeah, at Firestone, just fairways and greens around here.”
Alker won the Senior PGA Championship in late May in Michigan for his first senior major victory.
“Just getting comfortable in this company,” Alker said. “I think that’s the biggest thing. Just like learning to play my game. It’s been hard to watch these guys but just stay in my skin and play my game.”
The leaders were at 6-under 134.
Durant birdied three of his last four holes in a 65. Petrovic bogeyed the 18th for a 66. Cejka, the first-round leader after a 64, had an even-par 70.
Defending champion Steve Stricker had a bogey-free 65 to join Ernie Els (68), Woody Austin (66) and David Toms (69) at 5 under.
Stricker scrambled to save par on his final hole.
“That was big,” Stricker said. “I hate to make a bogey, the only bogey of the day on the last hole, so I was grinding to make sure I got that one in there. I didn’t want to make a bogey today, so it was a good way to finish, good save.”
Miguel Angel Jimenez (68) was 4 under with Bob Estes (68), Jerry Kelly (69) and Ken Duke (66). | https://www.news10.com/sports/alker-takes-share-of-lead-in-senior-players-championship/ | 2022-07-09T13:03:08Z | https://www.news10.com/sports/alker-takes-share-of-lead-in-senior-players-championship/ | false | 23 |

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland will visit Oklahoma on Saturday for the first stop on a yearlong nationwide tour to hear about the painful experiences of Native Americans who were sent to government-backed boarding schools designed to strip them of their cultural identities.
Haaland, of Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico, is the first Native American Cabinet secretary in U.S. history, and the agency she oversees recently released a report that identified more than 400 of the schools, which sought to assimilate Native children into white society during a period that stretched from the late 18th century until the late 1960s.
Although most closed their doors long ago and none still exist to strip students of their identities, some still function as schools, albeit with drastically different missions that celebrate the cultural backgrounds of their Native students. Among them is the Riverside Indian School in Anadarko, about 80 miles (129 kilometers) southwest of Oklahoma City, which is one of the oldest and is where Haaland will meet with former students and their descendants Saturday.
Riverside, which opened in 1871, serves students from grades four through 12 these days, offering them specialized academic programs as well as courses on cultural topics such as bead-working, shawl-making and an introduction to tribal art, foods and games. Currently operated by the Bureau of Indian Education, it has nearly 800 students from more than 75 tribes across the country, and the school’s administration, staff and faculty are mostly Native American.
It is one of 183 elementary and secondary schools across the country funded by the Bureau of Indian Education that seek to provide education aligned with a tribe’s needs for cultural and economic well-being, according to the bureau’s website.
Until recently, the federal government hadn’t been open to examining its role in the troubled history of Native American boarding schools, where children were taken from their families, prohibited from speaking their languages and often abused. That has changed because people who know about the trauma that was inflicted hold prominent positions in government.
At least 500 children died at such schools, but that number is expected to reach into the thousands or tens of thousands as more research is done.
The Interior Department’s report includes a list of the boarding schools in what were states or territories that operated between 1819 and 1969 that had a housing component and received support from the federal government.
Oklahoma had the most, 76, followed by Arizona, which had 47, and New Mexico, which had 43. All three states still have significant Native American populations.
Former students might be hesitant to recount the painful past and trust a government whose policies were to eradicate tribes and, later, assimilate them under the veil of education. But some welcome the opportunity to share their stories for the first time.
Lahoma Schultz, a citizen of the Muscogee Nation who lives in Bixby, Oklahoma, said she uncovered records that show her grandfather was forced to wear military clothing, learn English and perform unpaid labor while attending boarding schools in Oklahoma and the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania.
Schultz said she got angry as she pieced together how such schools affected generations of her family. Her mother, Mollie Hicks, attended boarding school for a semester in 1938 and was punished for speaking the Creek language.
“She said if she ever got married and had children, she would not teach them the language,” Schultz said. “Here I am in my 70s trying to learn my language, and it’s really disheartening.”
Her mother’s experience led Schultz to research boarding schools and her family history in the early 2000s after getting a doctorate in psychology. She has learned the names of relatives she never knew and better understands why her parents were adamant that their children not attend boarding schools.
“That’s been healing, even for me, because I’m putting together more information on my own family,” she said.

(NEXSTAR) – Amid recent reports of so-called “forever chemicals” found in drinking water, it’s not hard to imagine that some Americans might be hypersensitive when it comes to the taste of their tap water this summer.
If you do notice an odd taste, however, the reason might be more benign than you think.
Complaints of an “earthy” or “musty” taste or smell might just be the result of a regular summer phenomenon for many water systems, the accelerated growth of some algae compounds thanks to warmer weather.
“Specifically, it is metabolites from the algae that are producing the slightly off-putting smell and taste,” Wilmington, Delaware, officials said in a news release at the end of June. “The City said the water is safe to drink and there is no need to boil the water.”
Cyanobacteria, formerly referred to as blue-green algae, can create two compounds – geosmin and methylisoborneol (MIB) – that are responsible for the unpleasant odor and taste. City utilities treat drinking water to kill the bacteria that causes the compounds, but the harmless compounds may remain.
“While the taste and odor can be unpleasant, geosmin and MIB are not toxic or harmful,” the City of Sacramento’s website advises. “Chilling your water or adding lemon is known to help diminish the musty or earthy taste.”
Health officials warn, however, that cyanobacteria in the rivers, lakes and reservoirs that feed drinking water systems can be dangerous while untreated. Tampa, Florida officials warned residents Friday that the algae had been found locally and could potentially kill pets within minutes of exposure.
Conventional water treatment can generally remove cyanotoxins from the bacteria in the source waters, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, but such systems can “face challenges” during a severe bloom event.
If you have further questions about the quality of your tap water, the EPA has provided contact information for local health officials in all U.S. states and territories. | https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/tap-water-tasting-off-this-summer-this-may-be-why/ | 2022-07-09T13:29:01Z | https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/tap-water-tasting-off-this-summer-this-may-be-why/ | true | 16 |
Carlos Sainz narrowly edged Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc to top final practice at the Austrian Grand Prix. The Spaniard’s fastest lap, a 1m08.610s, was just 0.05s quicker than Leclerc’s best effort, both on the soft tires. Pole-getter for today’s sprint, Max Verstappen was third and 0.168s off the pace.
The Ferrari teammates were among the most prolific lap-setting teams despite the fundamentally dead-rubber nature of the hour run under parc ferme conditions, accumulating 82 laps between them, or more than a race distance in total.
Verstappen’s session was somewhat more subdued, the Dutchman completing only 32 laps mostly on medium tires, on which his quickest time was set. He broke out a used set of softs at the end of the hour but got caught in traffic and opted against pursuing a flying lap.
Alpine teammates Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon were 0.2s off the pace and likewise used the medium tire to set their fastest times, beating Sergio Perez in the second Red Bull Racing car, who was more than half a second adrift.
Mercedes had a fraught start to Saturday, with mechanics flat out from moment the paddock opened to staff, repairing both cars after George Russell and Lewis Hamilton crashed out of qualifying.
The team chose not to break the overnight curfew, leaving it with just six hours spread across Friday night and this morning to fix both cars. Both needed gearbox changes, and Hamilton’s car had to be built up from the spare chassis owing to the extensive damage to the right-hand side of his previous tub.

Russell’s car was ready 11 minutes into the session, but Hamilton got less than 15 minutes of track time to complete 14 laps. They finished seventh and ninth respectively, sandwiching Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas.
Lando Norris improved on his Friday form to finish 10th. Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel completed 87 laps between them to finish 11th and 13th, with Pierre Gasly splitting the middle in 12th. Together with Russell, the Aston Martin drivers were the only ones to sample the hard-compound tire in the hour. The white-walled rubber is likely to be key to race strategy on Sunday.
Zhou Guanyu was 14th ahead of Mick Schumacher and Alex Albon, with Daniel Ricciardo a lowly 17th.
Kevin Magnussen was 18th ahead of Yuki Tsunoda and Nicholas Latifi. | https://racer.com/2022/07/09/sainz-leads-ferrari-1-2-in-second-austrian-gp-practice/ | 2022-07-09T13:29:40Z | https://racer.com/2022/07/09/sainz-leads-ferrari-1-2-in-second-austrian-gp-practice/ | false | 1 |

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — This deficit was less daunting for Novak Djokovic. The tension less palpable. It’s not that he wants to fall behind in matches, of course. It’s that when he does, he knows how to deal with it.
“It’s amazing how the whole game can fall apart, really, just because you feel you’re tense. Then no shots are really working properly. Your feet are static and slow,” Djokovic said. “Something happens in a match, then all of a sudden it’s completely different and you’re flying. Everything flows.”
The top-seeded Djokovic fashioned a second consecutive comeback victory at Wimbledon on Friday, beating No. 9 seed Cam Norrie of Britain 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals to run his winning streak at the All England Club to 27 matches in a row as he pursues a fourth straight championship on its grass courts.
“The more you experience these kind of situations, not the better you feel, but just more prepared you feel. You know what to expect,” Djokovic said. “It’s always really about handling your own nerves better than maybe your opponent is his own. This internal battle is always the greatest.”
He will face first-time major finalist Nick Kyrgios for the trophy on Sunday.
“The job,” Djokovic said, “is not finished.”
The unseeded Kyrgios, a combustible 27-year-old from Australia who drew jeers for the mere mention of his name during Djokovic’s on-court interview, did not need to play on Friday because 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal withdrew with a torn abdominal muscle.
“Mouth-watering,” is how Kyrgios described the upcoming matchup.
He has won both previous meetings against Djokovic, although both were on hard courts five years ago.
“One thing is for sure,” Djokovic said. “There’s going to be a lot of fireworks, emotionally, from both.”
It will be the 32nd Grand Slam title match for Djokovic, breaking a tie for the men’s record he shared with Roger Federer, and gives the 35-year-old from Serbia a shot at a 21st major title and seventh at Wimbledon. Only Federer, with eight, owns more at the grass-court tournament among men.
On the steamiest afternoon of the fortnight, with the temperature at 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius) and the air still, Djokovic often looked displeased early, gesticulating toward his guest box. But unlike in the quarterfinals, when he dropped the opening two sets against Jannik Sinner before winning in five, it took little time for Djokovic to assert his dominance.
Exactly what allows Djokovic to trail, then win — he has seven career comebacks from a two-set hole, including in the 2021 French Open final — is hard to know. He claimed a talking-to in the bathroom helped against Sinner. He joked that donning a white hat after the first set made a difference against Norrie.
Asked at Friday’s news conference to explain the white bottle he appeared to inhale from during another match, Djokovic offered this tongue-in-cheek reply: “Magic potion.”
“You’ll find out soon,” he added, “but I can’t speak about it now.”
Djokovic vs. Norrie began auspiciously enough for locals hoping to see one of their own get to a men’s final, something only two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has accomplished for Britain since the professional era began in 1968.
Roars came when the left-handed Norrie arose first from his seat; Djokovic was pouring some water on his hand and rubbing it in his hair. When Norrie’s volley winner completed a break in that initial game, he hopped and threw an uppercut. Union Jack flags waved in the stands.
Was the championship won? No. A berth in the final earned? Not that, either. All in all, it was quite a celebration after one of what would become 35 games, five of 202 points, four of 154 minutes.
When Djokovic broke right back, he walked to grab his white towel and dabbed at his perspiration. To him, this was not a monumental achievement.
Just one tiny example of how versatile and superb Djokovic is came on one particularly marvelous point. He hit a spinning half-volley on the move, but Norrie replied with a lob. So Djokovic ran back toward the baseline, the net behind him, and conjured up a between-the-legs, facing-the-wrong-way, high-arching lob of his own that somehow landed in. Norrie ran to that, twisted his body to reply with a forehand and Djokovic ended the 14-stroke exchange with a drop volley winner.
Even the partisans on hand cheered with approval. Djokovic raised his right index finger to the sky.
Still, only two of Norrie’s first 20 points came via winners he produced. Djokovic committed 12 unforced errors in the first set alone. One measure of how he restored order: Djokovic made 16 unforced errors over the last three sets combined.
Norrie, never before past the third round at a major, grew less sharp as Djokovic increased the pressure — within points and on the scoreboard. A particularly sloppy service game by Norrie, with a trio of unforced errors, helped Djokovic break to lead 5-3 in the second set.
“He kind of gifted me that,” said Djokovic, who would take 11 of 13 games in a match-shifting stretch.
He got broken three times in the first set, then never faced a break point the rest of the way.
Perhaps sensing their guy could use a boost, some fans offered chants of “Let’s go, Norrie, let’s go!” early in the third set. Didn’t change a thing.
Djokovic broke to open the third. Did the same in the fourth.
“Just locked it down,” Norrie said.

Woj provides details on negotiations between James Harden, Sixers
Heading into the 2022 offseason, the focus for the Philadelphia 76ers is set on making sure they improve their roster and their depth around James Harden and Joel Embiid in order to have a more complete team.
Harden helped the Sixers in a big way when he opted out of his player option for the 2022-23 season. That allowed Philadelphia the financial flexibility to go out and sign the likes of PJ Tucker and Danuel House Jr. in order to add depth and bolster their roster a bit.
Now, the focus has to be on signing Harden to a deal.
The Sixers and Harden met up in The Hamptons over the holiday weekend, which also included a little partying with Meek Mill, Drake, and Travis Scott, in order to begin negotiations for a contract. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski provided some details on when that might get done:
James Harden has essentially sat down with Sixers leadership and talked about a way to to improve their roster. You’ve seen the commitments they’ve had from PJ Tucker, from Danuel House, and to be able to go out and get, you know, some ancillary pieces here in free agency that James Harden needed essentially to opt out of his contract and now do a new deal that allows them financial flexibility in Philly, for he and Joel Embiid to essentially improve that supporting cast, but you can expect Harden end his representative and Daryl Morey and Philly to really sit down and hammer that deal out here. Perhaps as soon as the next 24 hours.
The framework of a deal for Harden will probably look like a 3-year deal, but it could be significantly less than the initial number of $150 million that was reported by Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer in the past. Harden declining his $47.3 million player option is a big deal and with the contracts they were able to hand out in free agency, it suggests that he’s willing to take less money.

NASA: Contact lost with spacecraft on way to test moon orbit
WASHINGTON — (AP) — NASA said Tuesday it has lost contact with a $32.7 million spacecraft headed to the moon to test out a lopsided lunar orbit, but agency engineers are hopeful they can fix the problem.
After one successful communication and a second partial one on Monday, the space agency said it could no longer communicate with the spacecraft called Capstone. Engineers are trying to find the cause of the communications drop-off and are optimistic they can fix it, NASA spokesperson Sarah Frazier said Tuesday.
The spacecraft, which launched from New Zealand on June 28, had spent nearly a week in Earth orbit and had been successfully kick-started on its way to the moon, when contact was lost, Frazier said.
The 55-pound satellite is the size of a microwave oven and will be the first spacecraft to try out this oval orbit, which is where NASA wants to stage its Gateway outpost. Gateway would serve as a staging point for astronauts before they descend to the lunar surface.
The orbit balances the gravities of Earth and the moon and so requires little maneuvering and therefore fuel and allows the satellite — or a space station — to stay in constant contact with Earth.

Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes Fabio Carvalho is mature enough to cement his place in Liverpool's first team next season.
Carvalho is one of three players Liverpool have signed during the ongoing transfer window. He has put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the Reds, with Fulham bagging an initial sum of £5 million from his sale.
Having begun his senior career at Craven Cottage, the attacker has clocked just 255 minutes of Premier League football. Despite his lack of top-flight experience, Jurgen Klopp's side do not intend to send him out on loan this summer.
Robinson is also of the view that Carvalho does not need to spend time out on loan to be ready to play for Liverpool. Having been impressed with the 19-year-old's ability on the ball, the former Tottenham Hotspur star expects him to be an integral part of the Reds' squad next term. He told Football Insider:
“He is still very young. Klopp has showed that he is not afraid to put these youngsters in so I would expect him to get given a chance next season."
"I am a big fan of utilizing the loan system because it gives players a great grounding but I don’t think that is what is needed for Carvalho. He has had a full season in the Championship. He did excellently well."
"I think that season will have turned him from a boy into a man. It will have matured him. I think he will be an integral part of the squad this season. He is so good going forward."
"He has such ability on the ball. I think Klopp will use him. He will be a great addition to that Liverpool side.”
While Klopp is excited about working with Carvalho, he has admitted that he is undecided on the player's best role.
How did Liverpool new boy fare for Fulham last season?
Carvalho rose through Fulham's ranks before making his senior debut for them in 2020. He then had his breakthrough campaign with the Cottagers in the Championship last season.
The Portugal Under-21s international made 38 appearances across all competitions for Marco Silva's side. He found the back of the net 11 times and provided eight assists for his teammates in those games.
Carvalho played a key role in earning Premier League promotion as Championship winners last term. He will now be hopeful of establishing himself as a regular for Klopp's side in the Premier League. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/news-he-ability-ball-paul-robinson-tips-teenager-integral-part-liverpool-squad-next-season | 2022-07-09T13:52:17Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/news-he-ability-ball-paul-robinson-tips-teenager-integral-part-liverpool-squad-next-season | false | 1 |
Vasanth Kumar Shivashankar Padukone, who goes by the stage name Guru Dutt, is listed amongst the greatest filmmakers in Indian cinema and is credited as a man who thought ahead of his time, especially in terms of creating authentic female protagonists. Dutt donned several hats, including director, actor, writer, and choreographer.
In 1951, Guru Dutt’s directorial debut was 'Baazi', which starred the late actors Dev Anand and Geeta Bali, while his acting debut was in a minor role in Vishram Bedekar's' 'Lakhrani' (1945). Dutt, who was born on July 9, 1925, in present-day Bengaluru, was lauded for his artistry, notably his use of close-up shots, lighting, and depictions of melancholia in his scenes. He went on to direct eight movies, several of which have been designated as cult classics on international platforms.
Dutt suffered a tragic death at the young age of 39 in 1964 as a result of an overdose of sleeping pills. Several filmmakers have come and gone all these years, but Guru Dutt remains one of those stalwarts whose creations will remain ageless masterpieces in the history of Indian cinema. On his 97th birthday, here’s a look at some of his iconic movies. | https://www.wionews.com/photos/guru-dutt-birth-anniversary-the-stalwarts-iconic-movies-that-redefined-indian-cinema-495888 | 2022-07-09T13:55:32Z | https://www.wionews.com/photos/guru-dutt-birth-anniversary-the-stalwarts-iconic-movies-that-redefined-indian-cinema-495888 | false | 1 |

Katie sported a simple golden necklace and carried her belongings in a weaved tote bag.
The media personality wore her highlighted platinum locks down straight, and sported a glam make-up look with groomed eyebrows and a muted brown lipstick.
It comes as Katie has reportedly been struck down with suspected food poisoning during her latest trip with Carl Woods.

The former glamour model jetted to the South East Asia country last week, but her holiday has been disrupted by her illness, with Katie said to have been 'throwing up and feeling poorly'.
It comes after she revealed she was taking social media break for 'personal reasons'.
A source told The Mirror of her plight: 'Katie suddenly got very sick.

'She has been throwing up and feeling poorly. Katie could possibly have got food poisoning, although she's trying to not let it affect her holiday and time with Carl.'
However, things appear to already be looking up for the TV personality as the source added: 'She is slowly on the mend. Katie is hoping she can enjoy the last few days of her holiday without any interruptions and can soon be back to her usual self.'
MailOnline contacted Katie's representative for comment at the time.
Reclining: Katie leaned back in a hammock as she enjoyed the poolside in a neon bikini while on vacation
It comes after announced she is temporarily quitting social media, saying she needs to 'take time off' - but is still posting racy snaps to her OnlyFans.
The mother-of-five said she wouldn't be communicating with her followers for the forseebale future while thanking her 'loyal fans' for supporting her.
Sharing a statement on her Instagram on Thursday, Katie wrote: 'I will be coming off all social media for a period of time. I need to take time off for personal reasons.
Getting comfortable: The media personality shuffled around in the hammock and she tried to find a good position
Leaning back: She attempted to find a good position as she leaned back in her hammock while on holiday
'Thank you to all my loyal fans for always supporting me xxx'.
The reality star turned off comments on the post, which she captioned with several heart emojis.
However, less than two hours after Katie shared her statement, she uploaded a new racy clip to her OnlyFans account, offering her paying subscribers a behind the scenes look at her latest lingerie photoshoot.
Glam: Katie spruced up her look with some white nail polish on her toes and nails for her pool day out
Katie's social media hiatus comes after her ex Kieran Hayler's fiancée Michelle Penticost made a thinly-veiled dig at her after she missed her daughter Princess' 15th birthday.
Michelle, 39, who has been in embroiled in a legal battle with the star, took a swipe after Katie jetted off to Thailand with her fiancé Carl Woods before her daughter's birthday.
The couple are currently making the most of her freedom after she avoided a jail term for breaking the rules of a restraining order and calling Michelle a 'gutter s**g'.
Sunny style: Katie wore her platinum locks down straight as she enjoyed a poolside day out
Hammock holiday: Katie enjoyed a sunny day out by the pool in Thailand, carrying her belonging in a holiday tote
The trip meant that she was only able to wish her eldest daughter well on social media rather than spending the day with her at home in the UK.
Appearing to react to the decision, Michelle shared a post on her Instagram Stories that read: 'Kids will always remember who showed up.
'Not who made a Facebook post, or who texted once or twice a year. They will remember who bothered to rearrange their schedule, to make inconvenient choices, and who made them a priority.'
Underneath the post, Michelle posted a 'praying hands' emoji.
Michelle's post was no doubt a nod to Katie's birthday post to Princess, which she shared from Thailand after landing in the exotic location with her beau.
Katie wrote: 'No words to describe my love for my Princess and our unbreakable bond, had 15 years and lots to come, happy birthday.'
Princess replied underneath saying: 'Love you'.
