CHICAGO (AP) — Sue Bird and Sylvia Fowles are playing in the WNBA All-Star Game for the last time. Candace Parker and Kahleah Copper are looking for some bragging rights. Some of the league’s biggest stars get to try for a 4-point shot. And everyone is thinking about one person: Brittney Griner. Griner’s continued detention in Russia is front and center as the WNBA holds one of its marquee events in Chicago for the first time. Bird and the rest of the All-Stars wore T-shirts with Griner’s name and No. 42 for practice Saturday, and the league also plans to continue its push for Griner’s release during Sunday’s game at the home of the defending champion Sky. “I think for all of us, we just want to always keep BG’s name at the forefront in everything we do,” Bird said. “Yeah, every now and then we’ll answer questions about All-Star and talk about the basketball, but you’re going to see her name on the back of all of our shirts, and so like I said, it doesn’t really shift. We want it to always be there.” Griner, 31, pleaded guilty Thursday to drug possession charges in a case that could see her sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. That same day, Bird watched her fiancée, soccer star Megan Rapinoe, receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House. Rapinoe had BG and a rose stitched on her jacket for the occasion, and Bird sported a “WE ARE BG” pin. Bird said she didn’t get any “personal time” with President Joe Biden, but she said Rapinoe “has taken the opportunities in those moments when she’s been able to speak to the President to talk about BG, so I do know that.” Griner was first detained at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport in February, when she was returning to play basketball in Russia. Police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage. Speaking through an interpreter, Griner told the court Thursday she had no intention of committing a crime and acted unintentionally because she had packed in a hurry. The trial was then adjourned until Thursday. Griner’s guilty plea could be an effort by her and her advisers to expedite the court proceedings. “Obviously she’s part of our family and our No. 1 priority is getting her home,” All-Star guard Arike Ogunbowale said. “She shouldn’t be there. She’s been there too long. So obviously we’re going to talk about her any chance we get.” 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. Biden called Griner’s wife, Cherelle, on Wednesday to assure her that he’s doing all he can to win Brittney’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. “We talk about ‘We are BG’ and what that means to us,” All-Star guard Skylar Diggins-Smith said. “Just trying to embody her spirit, carry her legacy on and just stay alert for her as far as what we can do in our efforts to help bring her home and really get that message out there.” Griner is an honorary starter for her eighth All-Star selection. It’s No. 13 for Bird and No. 8 for Fowles, two pillars of the WNBA who plan to retire after this season. Bird will play alongside Seattle Storm teammate Breanna Stewart on Team Stewart, while Fowles joins longtime friend Parker and Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson on Team Wilson. Parker and Courtney Vandersloot will go up against Copper and Emma Meesseman in a matchup of Sky teammates. “I definitely want to beat them,” Copper said. “I’ve been talking trash to Candace all week, so definitely looking forward to winning.” Copper is among a group of WNBA shooters who could take aim from a 4-point circle — one of three rule changes for the game. The shot clock has been trimmed to 20 seconds, and no free throws will be attempted until the final two minutes and overtime if necessary. Players will be credited with the maximum available points in free-throw situations before that time period. The WNBA “might have created some monsters” with the 4-point shot, Diggins-Smith cracked. ___ Jay Cohen can be reached at https://twitter.com/jcohenap ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.wwlp.com/sports/brittney-griner-is-the-focus-of-wnba-all-star-weekend/	2022-07-10T15:57:42Z	https://www.wwlp.com/sports/brittney-griner-is-the-focus-of-wnba-all-star-weekend/	true	32
Weekend exercise lowers risk of early death, study finds Published: Jul. 10, 2022 at 11:20 AM EDT\|Updated: 37 minutes ago (CNN) - No time to workout during the week? That’s not a problem because weekend workouts are still beneficial! Packing your workout into a couple of days can still make a difference when it comes to staying healthy and living longer. A new study on the health benefits of working out shows there is not really much of a difference between people who workout during the week and those who get it all in on the weekend. The key is getting the same amount. That is about 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity and two days of muscle-strengthening activity. So remember, every minute, every run, every squat, every burpee and every deadlift counts no matter when you do it. Copyright 2022 CNN Newsource.

(The Hill) – Former President Trump during an event in Alaska late Saturday called Tesla founder Elon Musk a “bulls— artist” for supporting the former president’s opponents in 2016 and 2020. “He said the other day, ‘oh, I’ve never voted for a Republican,’” Trump said at a rally. “I said, ‘I didn’t know that,’” Trump continued. “He told me he voted for me, so he’s another bulls— artist.” Last month, Musk tweeted that he voted for a Republican for the first time as he supported Mayra Flores, a Republican who flipped a traditionally Democratic House seat in a Texas special election. The Tesla CEO donated to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, according to Federal Elections Commission data. Musk has since confirmed the donation. Musk said at the Qatar Economic Forum last month that he was “undecided” about a potential reelection bid by Trump after saying days earlier he was leaning toward supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in 2024. Sources have told The Hill that Trump is becoming more serious about launching a run in 2024, even as other high-profile Republicans, like DeSantis, stoke speculation over their own White House ambitions. In the meantime, Trump has weighed in on a number of primary and general election races in this year’s midterms. He stumped in Alaska on Saturday in support of Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R), Kelly Tshibaka, who is challenging moderate Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R), and former Gov. Sarah Palin (R). “Another one of our highest priorities under Republican Congress will be to stop left-wing censorship and to restore free speech in America,” Trump said at the rally. Musk had entered a deal to buy Twitter, vowing to reduce the platform’s content moderation in the name of free speech and to implement other features, like an edit button. On Friday, Musk announced he would abandon the $44 billion offer after he said the company failed to provide enough information about the number of fake accounts. Twitter said it would sue Musk to uphold the deal. “Who the he— knows what’s going to happen,” Trump said. “He’s got a pretty rotten contract. I looked at his contract, not a good contract.” Musk said he would reverse Trump’s ban on Twitter if he went through with buying the company, but Trump has said he would remain on his own social media platform, dubbed Truth Social. “Go out by the way while I’m here, and sign up now for Truth Social,” Trump said on Saturday. “It’s hot as a pistol.”	https://www.wtrf.com/news/politics/trump-elon-musk-another-bulls-artist/	2022-07-10T16:01:25Z	https://www.wtrf.com/news/politics/trump-elon-musk-another-bulls-artist/	true	32

By Peter Ryan, Vince Rugari, Andrew Stafford, Andrew Wu, Marnie Vinall and Steve Barrett Our reporters give you the lowdown on all the action from round 17 of the AFL season. Geelong v Melbourne, GMHBA Stadium Geelong set themselves to match Melbourne in the contest and at clearance as they knew the result depended on them winning or breaking square in that area. Moving Tom Atkins into the centre has improved the Cats as he is ferocious defensively, while Cam Guthrie is back to 2020 form. Once they won territory through ascendancy in that area, the Demons were stuck, unable to move the ball on such a small ground. It was an impressive win and Geelong are better than they have been – the only query is on the influence the ground’s dimensions had on the Demons’ ability to play their style. They are in some trouble, however, having lost four of their past six and with tough contests remaining, leaving them vulnerable to falling out of the top four. They appear to be falling into the trap of wanting to recapture last year’s form rather than forge ahead as their opponents are doing. It’s time to introduce in-form youngsters from Casey to give them a spark, otherwise their premiership defence is doomed. - Peter Ryan Sydney v Western Bulldogs, SCG When the opposition is this bad, it’s hard to get a proper read on a team’s performance. But John Longmire should be pretty happy with how his Swans responded to their defeat to Essendon and the way they were clearly up for Friday night’s clash with the Western Bulldogs from the opening seconds. It was their best four-quarter effort for the season, but it did come at a significant cost, with ruckman Peter Ladhams suffering a broken thumb that will likely put him out of action for several weeks. There’s no guarantee that Tom Hickey will be ready to face Fremantle in Saturday night’s critical showdown at Optus Stadium, although he has resumed training after illness. Tom Papley was reported for making front-on contact with Josh Dunkley, but it was thrown out over the weekend, so he is free to play – assuming the slight shoulder problem he had during the match hasn’t worsened. As for the Dogs, even Luke Beveridge admitted post-match that the rest of the AFL had “gone past them,” the 53-point margin flattered them, and suggested they don’t really deserve to be talking about playing finals. That’s just as well because it’s very hard to see them making it from here. Blown away at the coal face, their lack of early effort and physicality was inexplicable for a game with so much riding on it. Anthony Scott (concussion) will miss Friday night’s clash with St Kilda after a hit to the head in the first half while Aaron Naughton played through a knee issue that Beveridge downplayed post-match as nothing too serious. - Vince Rugari Collingwood v North Melbourne, MCG North Melbourne showed their capacity with a better balanced line-up and a commitment to attack that had not been there recently, when there was too high a priority on defence. Luke Davies-Uniacke was outstanding and the team looked better with Nick Larkey and Cam Zurhaar forward, Ben McKay back, Jack Ziebell hitting up and Todd Goldstein in the ruck. Out-of-form players Kayne Turner, Josh Walker and Atu Bosenavulagi were missing and there was a determination that had been absent. Collingwood’s effort was good, but they were rattled when they were being thrashed in centre clearances and Darcy Moore was missing from defence, so it was a good effort to win in the end. It took contributions from the experienced Taylor Adams, Steele Sidebottom, Jeremy Howe, Jamie Elliott and Scott Pendlebury, a consistent performance from Josh Daicos, and a piece of brilliance from his brother Nick to get them over the line. That it has taken North so long to get to this point has been disappointing. - Peter Ryan Gold Coast v Richmond, Metricon Stadium This was one of the most extraordinary games of the season – and it may end up being among the most consequential. The Tigers should have run away with it, but poor decision-making, lack of discipline and lack of composure cost them dearly at crucial times. To give up two goals in the last 75 seconds of the match will burn for a long time. The Suns still have a finals flame flickering. They’ll need to spring a couple more upsets on the run home. But it’s what this win from nowhere does for their belief longer-term that may be more lasting. - Andrew Stafford St Kilda v Fremantle, Marvel Stadium If selection was based on ability alone, Jack Higgins would be one of the first picked each week at St Kilda. But at a time when there is so much focus on pressure, his inability – some might say unwillingness – to engage in the defensive side of the game is a considerable flaw. Higgins’ 13 possessions, one goal and one goal assist are handy numbers, but his only tackle came in the last quarter when the match was all but over. Higgins’ 22 goals this season is double that of Dan Butler, but the latter’s commitment to defence cannot be questioned. Given coach Brett Ratten’s criticism of how easily the ball spilled out of their forward 50, Higgins’ place in the Saints 22 is again on the line. At Fremantle, is Nat Fyfe about to become the most decorated Mr Fix It in the game? Such has been the development of Andrew Brayshaw, Caleb Serong and Will Brodie, the Dockers no longer need Fyfe in the position where he won two Brownlows. They can play him where they need him most. In the second half against the Saints, that was on the ball. It was a no-brainer of a move given their midfield struggles and the little impact Fyfe had in attack. The switch paid dividends, as Fyfe provided a spark on the ball with 16 possessions and two goals in the second half. As Fyfe’s match fitness builds, coach Justin Longmuir will have more flexibility with the champion Docker. - Andrew Wu Port Adelaide v GWS, Adelaide Oval Port Adelaide may just be delaying the inevitable. But while there is life, there is hope. One win plus percentage outside the top eight and relying on at least four of the five teams immediately above them on the ladder to suffer varying degrees of form loss, the Power are at least giving themselves a puncher’s chance. A tough upcoming fortnight – against reigning premiers Melbourne in Alice Springs and ladder-leading Geelong at home – will reveal plenty about Port’s bona fides. Saturday night’s dismantling of Greater Western Sydney at Adelaide Oval – on paper, a battle between the 12th and 13th best teams in the competition – accentuated the chasm-like gap between those who are somewhat in contention and those who are absolutely not. With best-on-ground Connor Rozee continuing his rise to the upper echelon of the league’s best goalkicking midfielders, Port had too many weapons, applied too much heat and the Giants, who didn’t help themselves with abominable goalkicking, were left floundering, virtually from the opening bounce. Adding to the disappointment in the GWS camp was a profound sense of sadness at the realisation luckless veteran Phil Davis may have played his last AFL game. Davis, the Giants’ first recruit and inaugural captain, gingerly hobbled off the ground grimacing shortly after half-time with what appears another serious hamstring injury. - Steve Barrett Brisbane Lions v Essendon This loss leaves the Lions delicately poised in fourth spot, equal on points with Collingwood (but ahead by percentage). They have games against top-eight hopefuls Gold Coast, Richmond, Carlton and St Kilda ahead, with premiers Melbourne in the final round. They’ll get most of their missing players back next week, but have a massive challenge ahead if they’re to make a genuine premiership tilt. As for Essendon, coach Ben Rutten might have dodged a bullet here – a loss against a significantly weakened team could have been fatal. - Andrew Stafford Hawthorn v Adelaide For two teams outside of finals contention, there was some hope among fans for a good arm wrestle between two sides with points still to prove when it comes to their competitiveness. And yet it was all Hawthorn from pretty much the word go. With key experienced players out due to injury, suspension and personal reasons, the younger Hawks were given more of an opportunity to stand up and shine, which is exactly what they did. Mitch Lewis, in particular, is proving to be developing into a star player, booting five goals, all within the first half, along with 20-year-old midfielder Jai Newcombe, who continues to make an impact. Hawthorn’s defence also deserves a nod, including Blake Hardwick, James Sicily and Jack Scrimshaw, who kept Adelaide’s animated forward line fairly quiet. The Crows showed spirit in the third quarter but didn’t manage to make a significant dent in the score margin or put the home side under any real threat. In the end, Hawthorn claimed their 1000th win in VFL/AFL club history by the final siren with their fifth for the season. - Marnie Vinall West Coast v Carlton Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay kicked five goals each as the Blues notched their first win over West Coast since 2014, in so doing ending a run of seven straight losses. Curnow had three goals in the first half, but it was his two goals in the third quarter that proved decisive and helped edge the momentum back Carlton’s way. McKay then broke West Coast’s spirit with two goals early in the final term. Curnow finished with 5.3 and eight marks from 16 disposals, while McKay kicked 5.3 to go with his seven marks. - AAP Keep up to date with the best AFL coverage in the country.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) has been a trusty income play among many investors. I view it as an income play with a strong FCF to fuel growing dividends. Cisco has however delivered round after round of disappointing dividend hikes while struggling to raise its revenue despite spending a double-digit amount of billions in the recent decade on acquisitions. In fact, the company is underperforming peers on both revenue growth and dividend hiking parameters. With the investor day for 2021 setting the course through FY25, there was a lot to look forward to for both existing and prospective investors. Management provided ambitious targets while having managed to meet those previously set at the investor day of 2017. However, I do see execution risk driving caution for the investment community to reward Cisco with a higher market cap until management has proven it can execute on its ambitious targets. At this point, I see limited upside in Cisco but also believe existing shareholders will welcome the ambitious tone set by management. I've been a shareholder in Cisco since 2014 when I bought shares at a price of $25.6 per share. As such, I'm fortunate enough to sit on a 5.8% yield on cost for my dividend and a 122% stock price appreciation averaging at roughly 17% per year before dividends. However, that doesn't stop me from evaluating the stock ever so often, asking myself if I would buy today. With such returns, it's difficult to be displeased, but as I laid out in a previous article concerning Cisco, I believe the company could do with new management and fresh thinking. Specifically, my disappointment has been with Cisco's ability to utilize its power within potential mergers and acquisitions. There have been plenty, but the company has struggled with increasing its revenue, and as with all mature companies, they risk running out of FCF to fuel its dividend and growth if it can't increase its FCF through organic or inorganic revenue growth. Cisco used to be the big game of its industry, but most new entrants have been eating away at Cisco and their previously dominant position to a point where Cisco has struggled to increase its revenue during the tenure of CEO Chuck Robbins. I'm both pleased and displeased at the same time, closely monitoring how Cisco fares. This has also translated into Cisco delivering rather paltry dividend hikes in recent years, with the most recent being a 2.8% hike compared to a sector median of 5.2%. In fact, Cisco has underperformed its sector for the last five years in terms of actual dividend hikes. Planning to hold my investments for many years, I of course prefer to hold securities where the opposite is the case, why I'm also disappointed in management's ability to deliver consistent upwards moving revenue considering the opportunities present within IT infrastructure investments, cloud solutions and IT security. I'm of the opinion, that Cisco has missed a lot of the great upwards surge in its industry in recent years. Cisco's struggle is illustrated by one of its competitors, Arista Networks, Inc. (ANET) who often provide comparisons to Cisco in their quarterly material which show their ability to capture market shares. ANET is led by CEO Jayshree Ullal, a former top executive of Cisco. While Arista is a much smaller company compared to Cisco, it has been doing great with revenue up more than 10X since 2012 on the back of a strong offering and not crippled so extensively by its size as a company like Cisco. The validity of this observation is to be found within the fact, that Arista is competing against Cisco on its home turf. With a focus on digital transformation, remote work, cloud, 5G, security and so forth, many of the themes highlighted by Cisco as their winners of tomorrow, is within a sphere where they have to fight tooth and nail. If we are to believe the consensus dividend estimates for 2022 and 2023, shareholders of Cisco can expect another set of disappointing news with a 3% and 4% hike respectively, which would lead to further sector underperformance if we extrapolate history into the coming years. As with most mature blue chips, we can identify a correlation between its typical upper trading range and market cap in combination with dividend yield. Meaning, that Cisco typically doesn't trade at a higher market cap than what leads to a 2.4% dividend yield. Also, it rarely goes on discount relatively to a dividend yield of a maximum just below 4%. So, while I'm in Cisco long-term for the dividend, a continuous strong set of dividend hikes would slowly lead to an upwards moving market cap assuming profit- and FCF margins remain stable and their ability to pay the growing dividend stays intact. Unsurprisingly, these expected forward hikes go in tandem with the outlook for revenue and EPS, which is boosted by share buybacks. I, therefore, looked forward to Cisco's first investor day since 2017, where the long-term guidance would be updated, and I have to say that management surprised positively. Already now, just a couple of days later, and we see Credit Suisse leading the pack with a new stock price target adjusted from $56 á share to $74, implying a 29% upside. Personally, I consider that higher than what the stock warrants, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see that management has provided higher forward-looking targets than I anticipated. Let's have a look… The entire set of presentations and updates on Cisco's strategy lasted roughly four and a half hours and can be found via this link. As investors, we trust in management to take good care of our hard-earned savings and I urge investors to stay updated on what path management will take, in order to ensure you as an investor can look back on your investment with a smile. If I were to describe the entire set of presentations with one phrase, I'd quote CEO Chuck Robbins from his kick-off presentation where he said, "management is confident in the future". We shouldn't forget that he is biased and that it comes with risk as already briefly touched upon, but considering their new targets, I understand why he said so. Looking back at the most recent investor day from 2017, we can see that management has managed to deliver on the targets put in place back then. This slide can be a little ambiguous, as the targets were for the period 2017-FY2020, while it also displays FY2021 performance. Back in 2017, management said they could deliver on a 30% of total revenue being provided by software. They reached 29% for FY2020, but Q4-20 showed 31%. They more than delivered on the ambition of ensuring 66% of total software sales being on a subscription basis, as they managed 74% which has increased to 79% by FY21. Lastly, that software & service reached 50% of total revenue, which they managed. Cisco Investor Day 2021, Chuck Robbins, p, 5. Those targets belong to the rear-view, but the more important takeaway we can derive is, that management is both able to set ambitious targets but also ensure they are reached. This is the most important indicator for shareholders and the investment community, that they should be able to trust in management concerning the targets presented during this investor day. Perhaps the most important step on Cisco's journey, their software subscription transformation, can be seen in greater detail below. Chuck Robbins became CEO in 2015, then CEO, John Chambers, praised the new CEO as "unique in his ability to translate vision and strategy into world-class execution". Further, that "our next CEO needs to thrive in a highly dynamic environment, be capable of accelerating what is working very well for Cisco and disrupting what needs to change". Personally, I haven't been too fond of Chuck Robbins and the way he has handled Cisco, but I can't deny that he has delivered on his own ambition so far. Subscription software has managed a 23% CAGR in the period covering FY15-21, quite impressive, with total software managing a 10% CAGR, far outstripping general revenue during that period. Cisco Investor Day 2021, Chuck Robbins, p, 6. This growth is a combination of organic and inorganic methods, which is what we can also expect from Cisco moving forward. Delivering on your targets is a strong argument for why investors should believe in new targets. As Cisco continues to drive business transformation, Cloud offerings will be at the core of that theme to ensure growth for Cisco to deliver higher predictability and improved service offerings allowing to innovate faster for their customers. With digital transformation leading towards hybrid-everything being cloud, work, etc., it requires modernized infrastructure and security infrastructure - something Cisco will be betting on. The entire world depends on connectivity with the rise of applications and distributed nature of everything we do. During his presentation, Chuck Robbins stated that the priorities of Cisco's customer pool align with the focus of Cisco itself. Cisco Investor Day 2021, Chuck Robbins, p, 11. Chuck Robbins talked about the need for high adaptability in a hybrid work environment. That a distributed and cloud-focused way of working will change how we think about digital security leading to customers having to redesign their infrastructure. Chuck Robbins arrived at the following key opportunities for growth going forward. Liz Centoni, Chief Strategy Officer, expanded on this particular slide during her own presentation where she concluded these markets all provide significant tailwind for Cisco going forward. Those are a fair set of opportunities, but it will be the same opportunities found amongst software and infrastructure peers suggesting that competition will of course be fierce. Cisco Investor Day 2021, Chuck Robbins, p, 12. Probably the most interesting aspect of the investor day was the section concerning the financial targets extending through FY2025 and presented by Scott Herren, CFO. Driving Profitable Growth, Scott Herren, p. 18. Management is guiding for a 5-7% revenue CAGR extending through FY25. Just to put that into perspective, the only time Cisco has delivered YoY 5% revenue growth or better since 2013 was in 2019 where they managed 5.2%. In other words, seen from my perspective, this is significantly better than I had anticipated. The 2021 ten-year average revenue growth is 1.4%, five-year average is 0.2%. As such, it is a significant change in the outlook. At first, it is easy to appear skeptical, especially given the historical comparison I just provided, but management proved they could deliver on their previous investor day targets valid from FY17 through FY20. Naturally, management has ensured to model the potential within their existing offerings, the marketplace as well as how Cisco performs in the competitive stack for the basis of these targets. Driving Profitable Growth, Scott Herren, p. 17. The reason management believes in the opportunity is to be found within the total addressable market, which is expected to grow significantly during the same period. Actually, Cisco is only counting on growth on par or slightly above the general marketplace as seen by their estimates within Non-subscription products and services. If we are to trust the projections, it might not even stop at FY25, with Cisco labelling this a growing opportunity. Similarly, with a continuous focus on margins, Cisco expects EPS to grow in line with revenue equaling the CAGR 5-7% through FY25. We might once again see reasonable dividend hikes out of Cisco. Driving Profitable Growth, Scott Herren, p. 22. On a headline basis, the risk is twofold. First of all, there is the risk of execution from Cisco given the aggressive outlook, albeit only growing on par with the market expectations. However, the market growth is also rather aggressive given that for instance the opportunity within hybrid work is forecasted at 16% CAGR. Within what is labelled the expansion markets, growth is forecasted at 18% CAGR. Being a household name with a big R&D budget, there is of course a significant possibility that Cisco can carve itself a piece of the cake, but there is both uncertainty in terms of whether the market will indeed grow at such a brisk pace combined with the uncertainty of Cisco managing to secure its relevance. Driving Profitable Growth, Scott Herren, p. 15. Secondly, we have the combination of market growth and competitor risk. A number of established players within the software space will be intensively focusing towards any market forecasted at growing massively. Further, Cisco is competing within several arenas where it isn't necessarily the most innovative of the peer group. Given Cisco's recent performance, I think it's fair to ask whether their product portfolio is well-positioned to meet the demands of high growth and innovative markets. Not everybody will agree with this perspective, but I'm one of the Cisco shareholders who looks back at the acquisition spree of the last decade not firmly believing that management has done well on a consistent basis. With a spend exceeding double digits measured in billions on acquisitions in the recent decade, management has had little revenue growth to show for it. One stance is, that management is overpaying, another is that management is acquiring capabilities looking towards the future. Given that a fair amount of recent acquisitions has been focused on the cloud and security space, the second stance is fair. I do however keep one eye firmly fixed on how management continues to execute on acquisitions as I do believe there is fair skepticism related to previous acquisition performance. The small section on execution risk feeds well into the valuation outlook. What management has presented is well beyond what we have been used to as Cisco investors, and I therefore, believe we will need to see management executing on this strategic promise before the outlook will be fully accepted by the investment community. Something that has also been highlighted in the initial response amongst the analyst community. If management does indeed succeed through, we can see that the current forward-looking consensus estimates are indeed below what management is expected to churn out through FY25. Seeking Alpha, Earnings Estimates per September 20th Cisco is up 24% YTD despite a recent market pullback with P/S and P/B being on the upper end of the five-year trading range while being significantly above the ten-year trading range. Same can be said if we observe the EV/EBITDA as well as forward EV/EBITDA ratios. Taking the execution risk into perspective, I don't see a whole lot of upside left for Cisco at these levels. At least not what provides a satisfactory margin of safety for prospective investors. For existing investors, I welcome the potential value-add if management executes on its promise for a company that for a while had begun to resemble International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) with a potentially bleak outlook. The most recent investor day hosted in 2017 set up the targets valid through FY20, with a new investor day hosted in 2021 on September 15th. The investor day sets the course for what Cisco investors can expect out of the company through FY25 and management set an optimistic tone expecting revenue CAGR between 5-7% through the period. Something which would be a significant improvement observing the ten-year average revenue growth at 1.4% and five-year at 0.2%. On top are expectations of similar growth in EPS, which will be supported by buybacks as is custom for Cisco. However, these expectations are founded on strong expected marketplace growth within especially new areas. This leads to significant execution risk, causing me to believe the investment community will react slowly given the need to see management deliver on its promise. Trading at the top of its historical range on a number of financial metrics, I don't believe Cisco has a lot of upside left, therefore not providing satisfactory margin of safety for prospective investors. However, for current investors, this will be welcome news as Cisco has provided paltry dividend hikes in recent years, where we might again expect hikes on par with its peers which Cisco has significantly underperformed recently.

2023: Masari resigns as Tinubu’s VP Former national officer of the All Progressives Congress and the party Vice presidential candidate, Aminu Masari, has stepped down as running mate to the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Masari in a statement dated July 10, entitled, “Resignation As APC’ Vice Presidential Nominee,” said he took the decision to enable “Asiwaju have more latitude to give more accommodation and inclusion that will position our party to win the coming elections, with the support of the people of Nigeria.” Masari further disclosed that he has submitted a “withdrawal letter and affidavit to that effect as the Vice Presidential Candidate to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TInubu in the coming elections.” His letter reads in part: “This is to inform our esteemed party leaders under our able President Muhammadu Buhari, teeming party members and the great people of Nigeria, of the outcome of a crucial discussion I just had with the flag-bearer of our great party, All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. ALSO READ FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNE - I’m Not A Herbalist, I Am A Christian And I Go To Church —Adewale Alebiosu - More Presidential, Vice Presidential Candidates Claim Missing Certificates “Recall that I had the singular honour and privilege of being nominated as the running-mate to Asiwaju Tinubu last month after a keenly contested presidential primary ahead of the 2023 general elections. “But, after much reflection and wider consultations, I now wish to step down. I realized that my decision will enable Asiwaju to have more latitude to give more accommodation and inclusion that will position our party to win the coming elections, with the support of the people of Nigeria. “In stepping down, I believe I can still serve our party and the country in several other capacities. “I wish to confirm that I have submitted my withdrawal letter and affidavit to that effect as the Vice Presidential Candidate to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the coming elections. “On behalf of myself and family, I wish to sincerely thank Asiwaju Tinubu — the Incoming President, Insha Allah — for his trust in me and we promise to remain steadfast in our support for him and the party.” In a separate statement, federal lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency who incidentally is the Interim National Coordinator of Bola Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Honorable James Faleke, confirmed the development. Faleke disclosed that “Alhaji Masari has communicated his decision to us from Saudi Arabia where he is presently performing the lesser hajj. “While saluting Alhaji Masari’s sacrifice, we believe this will give Asiwaju Tinubu an opportunity to take a decision that will further enhance the chances of our great party in the 2023 elections.” Obasanjo Turns ‘Keke NAPEP’ Rider, Carries Passengers In Abeokuta 2023: Masari resigns as Tinubu’s VP How To Detect Fake Bank Alerts 2023: Masari resigns as Tinubu’s VP	https://tribuneonlineng.com/2023-masari-resigns-as-tinubus-vp/	2022-07-10T16:15:29Z	https://tribuneonlineng.com/2023-masari-resigns-as-tinubus-vp/	true	1

Novak Djokovic beats Nick Kyrgios for 7th Wimbledon title WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Novak Djokovic waited. He waited for Nick Kyrgios to lose focus and lose his way. Waited to find the proper read on his foe’s big serves. Waited until his own level rose to the occasion. Djokovic is not bothered by a deficit — in a game, a set, a match. He does not mind problem-solving. And at Wimbledon, for quite some time now, he does not get defeated. Djokovic used his steady brilliance to beat the ace-delivering, trick-shot-hitting Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) on Sunday for a fourth consecutive Wimbledon championship and seventh overall. The top-seeded Djokovic ran his unbeaten run at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament to 28 matches and raised his career haul to 21 major trophies, breaking a tie with Roger Federer and moving just one behind Rafael Nadal’s 22 for the most in the history of men’s tennis. Among men, only Federer, with eight, has won more titles at Wimbledon than Djokovic. In the professional era, only Federer was older (by less than a year) than the 35-year-old Djokovic when winning at the All England Club. His comeback on a sun-filled afternoon followed those in the quarterfinals, when Djokovic erased a two-set deficit against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner, and in the semifinals, when No. 9 Cam Norrie grabbed the opening set. In last year’s title match at Wimbledon, Djokovic dropped the opening set. In the 2019 final, he erased two championship points against Federer. There were two particularly key moments Sunday that went Djokovic’s way, ones that Kyrgios would not let go as he began engaging in running monologues, shouting at himself or his entourage (which does not include a full-time coach), finding reason to disagree with the chair umpire (and earning a warning for cursing) and chucking a water bottle. In the second set, with Djokovic serving at 5-3, Kyrgios got to love-40 — a trio of break points. But Kyrgios played a couple of casual returns, and Djokovic eventually held. And then, in the third set, with Kyrgios serving at 4-all, 40-love, he again let a seemingly sealed game get away, with Djokovic breaking there. The 40th-ranked Kyrgios was trying to become the first unseeded men’s champion at Wimbledon since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001. Ivanisevic is now Djokovic’s coach and was in the Centre Court guest box for the match. Kyrgios is a 27-year-old from Australia who never had been past the quarterfinals in 29 previous Grand Slam appearances — and last made it even that far 7 1/2 years ago. In some ways, he stole the show Sunday. He tried shots between his legs. Hit some with his back to the net. Pounded serves at up to 136 mph and produced 30 aces. Used an underarm serve, then faked one later. ___ More AP Wimbledon coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/wimbledon and https://apnews.com/hub/tennis and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

As usual, Kathy Bradley’s column in last Saturday’s (July 2) Herald was “spot on” in many ways. First was her message of appreciation for “Doc” Patrick Spurgeon for his words of support and encouragement to her as a writer. It is good to read so many accolades for this scholar, teacher, coach and positive molder of young minds in so many places. Like Kathy, I got “encouraging words” from Doc and never thanked him. Her column also underscored the importance of words in human relationships. Mrs. Georgia Wilkes Hilliard, my high school teacher of English grammar, was a tiny tyrant about our language. There is correct grammar — not various versions — and she insisted that I know it. I might err when out of her domain but spoke and wrote correctly in her sight and hearing. I never told her when she was alive to hear the words, but I bless her for my priceless preparation. “Rules of grammar” are not strait jackets that limit speech and writing but rational statements of existing patterns of words that make communication among people possible. Use of words is one characteristic that defines humanness. Certainly, other living creatures communicate in ways that vary from the blinking mating signals of fireflies to the complex of vocalization patterns of whales. However, human languages are composed of written or spoken symbols loaded with abstract meanings that often are far removed from obvious physical actions or gestures. Combined with a cerebral cortex capable of storing and manipulating millions of such significant symbols, words enable humans to think profoundly, feel complex emotions and communicate all of this with some precision even through music. Words have been a part of me about as long as there has been a me. From the time that I learned to read in first grade forward, I have been a reader, starting with classroom books. Midway through high school, I had cleaned out most of the library, including periodicals, and another treasured teacher, Mrs. Adhere Newton, regularly passed on her Time magazines. Moreover, I listened intently to family lore and local history from grandparents and other elders and to news, music and drama coming from my father’s battery-powered radio. Words took me to the past and to faraway places in the present. In high school, I started writing, not just for class assignments but also for the school newspaper, for which I became editor. I entered essay competitions and was on the debate team. Entering the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, I immediately joined the staff of “The Red and Black,” serving for three years in various positions, including editor. Its standards were high; everything printed was critiqued in a post-publication session each week. Afterwards, I worked for almost seven years as a journalist. Words were my world, my livelihood. Perhaps because of this background, I am sensitive to how words are used and these days there is plenty to cause irritation. I try but fail to ignore the lies, half-lies and distortions that assault us in political and other advertising. As a journalist and one accustomed to the integrity of Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, et al., I am angry at what passes for broadcast news now that this thing has become a big money-maker. I am weary with “jock speak,” especially some “coach speak.” So many of them do not seem to know anything. Asked a question, they begin their reply with “I think...” Yes, they have my sympathy for the many times when broadcasters shove microphones in their faces and ask inane questions. With minds on their coaching duties, they must say something that does not sound bad about their own players, opposing teams, fans or game officials. No wonder Coach Paul Johnson was known for curt replies. Still, “I think” adds nothing to their comments. I understand the push for gender-neutral language on the part of people for whom traditional gender identities are ill-fitting or oppressive. However, use of plurals of personal pronouns to avoid gender specification is problematic. (They for she or he; their for hers or his.) This is bad grammar, leading to confusion, imprecision, failed communication. What is needed is a new vocabulary for a changing social world. Humans create new words regularly. Radar began an acronym. The computer age is built on a new language for information processing and bridging terms to measure and describe it. Minds capable of bringing about a gender revolution are capable of generating a language to express it. I am deeply concerned about internet communication. Postings on many of the platforms is anonymous. It is possible to say absolutely anything and not be held responsible. There is no way to sue for libel for a defamatory lie. To challenge lies about things political or medical just opens doors to wider publicity. Stories printed in responsible publications are subject to written challenges and lawsuits for defamation. Inability to challenge false words with true ones slashes the cords of human community. Roger G. Branch Sr. is professor emeritus of sociology at Georgia Southern University and is a retired pastor.	https://www.statesboroherald.com/local/no-and-thn-dr-roger-branh-sr/	2022-07-10T16:33:29Z	https://www.statesboroherald.com/local/no-and-thn-dr-roger-branh-sr/	false	1

Scientists at the US Lawrence-Berkeley Lab have developed a fuel from a bacterium that packs more energy than even the rocket fuels in use today. In fact, the inspiration for the work appears to have come from rocket fuel. Data from simulation show that the fuel has energy density values exceeding 50 megajoules a litre, compared with 32 MJ for petrol and 35 MJ for RP-1, a kerosene-based rocket fuel. The scientists have named the new fuel ‘POP-FAME’, for polycyclopropanated fatty acid methyl ester. LB Lab says that, back in the 1960s, the Soviet Union had developed a petroleum-based rocket fuel called Syntin and used it successfully to launch several Soyuz rockets in the 1970s. Despite its powerful performance, Syntin manufacture was halted due to its high costs and the unpleasant process involved — namely, a series of synthetic reactions with toxic by-products and an unstable, explosive intermediate, says a press release from LB. POP-FAME’s molecular structure closely resembles Syntin’s. At the heart of the fuel’s structure is the ‘three-carbon’ ring — a triangle with a carbon atom at each vertex. (Each carbon atom combines with two other carbon atoms and two other elements, mostly hydrogen.) This structure is called a cyclopropane; they hold potential energy in their bonds. The scientists began by wondering if such three-carbon-ring-based compounds, which are extremely inflammable, could be produced through the bio-route, using bacteria. Project leader Jay Keasling, a synthetic biology pioneer and CEO of the Department of Energy’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), scoured the scientific literature for organic compounds with three-carbon rings and found just two such materials, both made by a bacterium called streptomyces. (This bacterium is used to make many drugs, including the familiar streptomycin.) One of them had been genetically analysed decades ago due to an interest in its antifungal properties. This product, called jawsamycin, has five three-carbon rings. The scientists identified the genes responsible for the enzymes that can make the three-carbon rings and genetically engineered the bacteria to coax it to produce the desired fuel. POP-FAME is said to have higher energy densities than Syntin, which means even a small quantity of the fuel can pack considerable energy, making it an ideal rocket fuel. The team’s next goal is to figure out how to remove the two oxygen atoms in each molecule, which are dead weight. Since publishing their proof-of-concept paper, the scientists have begun work to increase the bacteria’s production efficiency even further to generate enough for combustion testing, the LB release says. They are also investigating how the multi-enzyme production pathway could be modified to create polycyclopropanated molecules of different lengths. “We’re working on tuning the chain length to target specific applications,” said Eric Sundstrom, one of the scientists in the team. “Longer chain fuels would be solids, well-suited to certain rocket fuel applications, shorter chains might be better for jet fuel, and in the middle might be a diesel-alternative molecule.” However, the scientists haven’t yet produced enough fuel for field tests. You’d need 10 kg of fuel for an actual test in a real rocket engine. “We are not yet there,” says Pablo Cruz-Morales, one of the members of the team. But the scientists’ collaborators at another lab (Sandia National Laboratories) have used computer simulations to estimate how the fuel would perform compared with conventional fuels. They found out that POP-FAME carries more energy than petrol or some conventional rocket fuels. “Energy density is everything when it comes to aviation and rocketry and this is where biology can really shine,” says Corinne Scown, JBEI’s Director of Technoeconomic Analysis. Eventually, the scientists hope to engineer the process into a workhorse bacteria strain that could produce large quantities of POP molecules from plant waste food sources (like inedible agricultural residue and brush cleared for wildfire prevention), potentially making the ultimate carbon-neutral fuel, the LB press release says. - Comments will be moderated by The Hindu editorial team. - Comments that are abusive, personal, incendiary or irrelevant cannot be published. - Please write complete sentences.

CHÂTEL LES PORTES DU SOLEIL – CHÂA solo attack by Bob Jungels gave him his first Tour de France stage victory on the first Alpine finish of this year’s race, while two-time defending champion Tadej Pogačar retained the leader’s yellow jersey after the ninth stage on Sunday. The 29-year-old Jungels, who rides for the AG2R Citroën Team, set off on his own with almost 65 kilometers (40 miles) remaining of the mountainous 193-kilometer (120-mile) route from Aigle in Switzerland to the ski resort of Châtel les Portes du Soleil. The Luxembourg native had time to sit up and stretch out his arms before punching the air in delight as he crossed the line 22 seconds ahead of Jonathan Castroviejo and 26 ahead of Carlos Verona. All three had been part of a large breakaway that formed shortly after the first of four categorised climbs of the day. Jungels attacked near the top of the penultimate climb, the top category Col des Mosses, and was followed by Simon Geschke. The pair reached the summit together with a gap of 25 seconds over the chasing group. But Jungels was quicker on the descent and managed to drop his rival. He had built a lead of nearly two minutes over the chasing group and more than three minutes over the peloton at the start of the final climb, the a category one Pas de Morgins. Cheered on by raucous fans lining the roads, French rider Thibaut Pinot attacked and came within sight of Jungels but ended up missing out on a podium place. Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard sprinted to the line to gain three seconds over their rivals for the overall lead. The Slovenian remained 39 seconds ahead of Vingegaard but increased his advantage to 1:17 over 2018 winner Geraint Thomas. Monday is a rest day. Tuesday’s 10th stage has four categorised climbs on the 148.1-kilometer (92-mile) route from Morzine Les Portes Du Soleil to Megève. The race ends on July 24 in Paris. ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.local10.com/sports/2022/07/10/jungels-takes-1st-career-tour-stage-win-pogacar-keeps-lead/	2022-07-10T16:57:15Z	https://www.local10.com/sports/2022/07/10/jungels-takes-1st-career-tour-stage-win-pogacar-keeps-lead/	false	11
Super League clubs face UEFA in soccer’s big legal match By GRAHAM DUNBAR AP Sports Writer GENEVA (AP) — A group of top soccer clubs face Champions League organizer UEFA in court Monday for a legal match in Luxembourg. The case risks the biggest upheaval in European soccer for more than 25 years. The Super League project quickly failed at launch last year. The company formed by 12 rebel clubs now led by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus has brought a case to the Court of Justice of the European Union. The clubs say UEFA’s dominant market position breaks EU competition law. UEFA says it defends soccer’s special place in European society. A ruling is not expected for several months.	https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/07/10/super-league-clubs-face-uefa-in-soccers-big-legal-match/	2022-07-10T17:00:27Z	https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/07/10/super-league-clubs-face-uefa-in-soccers-big-legal-match/	true	null
The Cobb County Board of Commissioners will hold the first hearing on the proposed millage rate this Tuesday, July 12. The proposed general fund millage rate of 8.46 is the same as the previous fiscal year, but since the tax digest rose due to the increase in property values in the county, maintaining the same millage rate constitutes a tax increase under state law. Three hearings are required, and the next ones will be on July 19 and July 26 before final adoption of the budget. A separate hearing on the proposed budget will also take place before the BOC meeting. The meeting will take place prior to the regular BOC meeting, at 100 Cherokee St., Building A, 2nd Floor BOC Room, Marietta, GA 30090. The budget has been developed against a backdrop of critical staff shortages reported by department managers. In a news release about the budget discussion Cupid said the county desperately needs the tax digest increase due to the staff shortages. “Driving around town and seeing fast-food restaurants and other retail services providing entry-level pay of $15 an hour and to hear stories of our workers struggling to put food on the table has been disheartening,” Chairwoman Cupid said while reiterating her proposal to move starting pay for county employees to $17 an hour. “Hopefully this will make us more competitive and attractive for those who are committed to serving our public.” Prior to the last BOC meeting, the staffing shortages were on the agenda, and a news release from the county gave the following report on vacancies within departments: - 40% in the Department of Transportation - 32% in the Property Management Department - 31% in the Water System - 30% in the Fleet Management Department - 27% in the PARKS Department A news release on the BOC budget work session stated: This meeting will follow the Board of Tax Assessors’ approval of the tax digest and will consider the recent pay and class report submitted by Evergreen during a work session earlier this year. Cobb Department Managers warned commissioners that many “critical” frontline positions remain vacant because workers have left for higher-paying jobs, and it has been challenging to replace them. Three public hearings on the budget and millage rate will be held in July on the following dates: Tuesday, July 12 at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 19 at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 26 at 7 p.m. You can view this meeting (as well as all commission meetings) and the hearings at www.cobbcounty.org/CobbTV.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Hundreds of state employees in Virginia have resigned from their jobs amid the start of a new telework policy. On May 5, Gov. Glenn Youngkin updated the telework policy for all state employees to begin working in-person full-time by July 5, a change the governor’s office stressed would provide “options for and supports the use of telework where appropriate.” Youngkin said it would help “balance the demands of government services with the needs of our public servants.” Nexstar’s WRIC learned more than 300 state employees resigned since this new telework policy was announced in early May. Employees were given two weeks to submit their telework applications. WRIC discovered that 28 out of 183 Virginia Department of Transportation workers who left their positions have cited telework options as their reason for leaving. Two VDOT workers who listed telework as the reason did move to another state agency, records obtained by WRIC after filing a Freedom of Information Act request show. Since May, the Virginia Department of Health had 78 resignations and the Virginia Employment Commission had 37 resignations from May 5 to June 27. Virginia’s Department of Housing and Community Development had seven resignations from May 5 to July 6 and Virginia’s Department of Emergency Management had six resignations from May 4 to July 7. Most of the departments did not provide reasons for the resignations, but the Department of Housing shared that 29 former workers cited “Better Job,” three said “Dissatisfied,” six cited “Home Responsibilities,” two listed “Illness,” seven said they were leaving the area, three cited “School” and 27 listed “Other” as the reason. Some employees said they are concerned with losing the flexibility that comes with telework. Others also raised concerns about the increasing cost of travel and trouble arranging childcare. VGEA, a volunteer, nonpartisan organization that advocates for Virginia state employees, surveyed its members and the results showed that some felt the policy was rushed, confusing and inefficient. State employees were given two weeks to submit telework applications and the administration set a June 3 deadline to review all of the requests, but Youngkin missed that goal. The governor’s office told WRIC that some agencies received an overwhelming amount of requests and some workers submitted applications late. Still, the July 5 back-to-work deadline remained in place. There are more than 21,000 state employees eligible for telework and 46% of those workers chose a telework option. Youngkin’s office told WRIC in a FOIA response that as of July 7, there were at least 1,500 final applications. It’s unclear how many state workers returned to the office when the deadline hit Tuesday.	https://www.wkrn.com/news/hundreds-of-virginia-state-employees-resign-amid-new-policy-to-bring-them-back-to-the-office/	2022-07-10T17:09:45Z	https://www.wkrn.com/news/hundreds-of-virginia-state-employees-resign-amid-new-policy-to-bring-them-back-to-the-office/	true	29
Robert (Bob) Chester Orr, formerly of Hamlet, Indiana, passed away peacefully at his home in Lake Placid, Florida on Sunday, June 26, 2022.

Sunday, July 10, 2022 – The red robe that Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali entered the ring with, wrapped with white trim for his “Fight of the Century” with Joe Frazier on the evening of March 8, 1971, inside a celebrity-packed Madison Square Garden, is now up for auction. After Ali’s loss in a 15-round decision, the robe disappeared from his wardrobe permanently but 51 years later, it’s now being put in a Heritage Auctions event featuring more than 1,600 Ali items from his early career as Cassius Clay through his metamorphosis into “The Greatest.” The opening bid is exactly $100,000 but the fabric is expected to end up selling for at least £800,000. Ali may have died in June 2016, but his legacy still clearly lives on to this day. “The robe is really iconic when you realize he lost the fight,” said collection owner Troy Kinunen, whose first buy was a vintage Ali fight poster in 1988 before amassing the unprecedented array of memorabilia available at the July 21-23 auction. “Guys can get dejected,” he continued. “The robe represents the story of Ali’s comeback, his motivation to fight Frazier two more times and defeat George Foreman and regain the world championship.” Other highlights of the collection assembled across 30 years include the signed mouthpiece Ali wore during that 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” victory over Foreman, an embroidered prayer cap gifted to the fighter before the “Thrilla in Manila” rematch with Frazier, and posters from all but one of Ali’s 61 professional fights. The first Ali-Frazier match was so big that Frank Sinatra took his place as a ringside photographer and among the crowd of 20,455 were Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Woody Allen and Diana Ross. Ali, after the loss, suggested his choice of the red robe with his name in white lettering had something to do with his defeat and returned to his standard black and white outfit. The rare piece of ring attire was later autographed by Ali, who never wore it again. “It’s the crown jewel of the collection,” said Kinunen. “It’s just very special.” As are many of the lots from collection launched with Kinunen’s acquisition 34 years ago of a poster from Ali’s Nov. 14, 1966, fight with Cleveland Williams at the Astrodome. “I had a sense of who Muhammad Ali was,” said Kinunen, 52, who was just a kid during Ali’s heyday. “I started researching and reading biographies on him. I had some VHS tapes and became introduced to him. And the more I learned, the more fascinated I became with his story.” Kinunan says he recalls snapping up whatever he could when a cache of Ali memorabilia was auctioned off, but now says it’s time for him to sell. “I have so much respect for the man and his legacy, but I’m not the proper caretaker,” he said. “I’m really happy with discussing this. I love sharing this. Let the other fans have their chance.”	https://kenyan-post.com/2022/07/muhammad-alis-red-robe-from-1971-fight-of-the-century-with-joe-frazier-at-madison-square-garden-to-be-auctioned-for-up-to-800000/	2022-07-10T17:12:43Z	https://kenyan-post.com/2022/07/muhammad-alis-red-robe-from-1971-fight-of-the-century-with-joe-frazier-at-madison-square-garden-to-be-auctioned-for-up-to-800000/	true	1
WALNUT GROVE, Calif. (KTXL) — On Saturday, a scuba diver died near the Walnut Grove Bridge after going down into the water for an unseen extended period of time, according to the Walnut Grove Fire District. The Walnut Grove Fire Department said that around 12:40 p.m. they were called for a water rescue. When the team searched they found the missing diver and brought him to shore. The diver appeared to be a male in his 40s. After analyzing the diver’s gear, the Walnut Grove Fire Department found that he did not use any oxygen in his tank when he was diving.	https://fox40.com/news/local-news/scuba-diver-died-near-walnut-grove-bridge/	2022-07-10T17:14:12Z	https://fox40.com/news/local-news/scuba-diver-died-near-walnut-grove-bridge/	true	null
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Novak Djokovic waited. He waited for Nick Kyrgios to lose focus and lose his way. Waited to find the proper read on his foe’s big serves. Waited until his own level rose to the occasion. Djokovic is not bothered by a deficit — in a game, a set, a match. He does not mind problem-solving. And at Wimbledon, for quite some time now, he does not get defeated. Djokovic used his steady brilliance to beat the ace-delivering, trick-shot-hitting Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) on Sunday for a fourth consecutive Wimbledon championship and seventh overall. The top-seeded Djokovic ran his unbeaten run at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament to 28 matches and raised his career haul to 21 major trophies, breaking a tie with Roger Federer and moving just one behind Rafael Nadal’s 22 for the most in the history of men’s tennis. Among men, only Federer, with eight, has won more titles at Wimbledon than Djokovic. In the professional era, only Federer was older (by less than a year) than the 35-year-old Djokovic when winning at the All England Club. His comeback on a sun-filled afternoon followed those in the quarterfinals, when Djokovic erased a two-set deficit against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner, and in the semifinals, when No. 9 Cam Norrie grabbed the opening set. In last year’s title match at Wimbledon, Djokovic dropped the opening set. In the 2019 final, he erased two championship points against Federer. There were two particularly key moments Sunday that went Djokovic’s way, ones that Kyrgios would not let go as he began engaging in running monologues, shouting at himself or his entourage (which does not include a full-time coach), finding reason to disagree with the chair umpire (and earning a warning for cursing) and chucking a water bottle. In the second set, with Djokovic serving at 5-3, Kyrgios got to love-40 — a trio of break points. But Kyrgios played a couple of casual returns, and Djokovic eventually held. And then, in the third set, with Kyrgios serving at 4-all, 40-love, he again let a seemingly sealed game get away, with Djokovic breaking there. The 40th-ranked Kyrgios was trying to become the first unseeded men’s champion at Wimbledon since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001. Ivanisevic is now Djokovic’s coach and was in the Centre Court guest box for the match. Kyrgios is a 27-year-old from Australia who never had been past the quarterfinals in 29 previous Grand Slam appearances — and last made it even that far 7 1/2 years ago. In some ways, he stole the show Sunday. He tried shots between his legs. Hit some with his back to the net. Pounded serves at up to 136 mph and produced 30 aces. Used an underarm serve, then faked one later.	https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/novak-djokovic-beats-nick-kyrgios-7th-wimbledon-title-rcna37523	2022-07-10T17:21:30Z	https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/novak-djokovic-beats-nick-kyrgios-7th-wimbledon-title-rcna37523	false	26

It's no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers have been trying to trade Russell Westbrook, dating back to the trade deadline of last season. His lone season in purple and gold yielded disappointing results, both from a player perspective for Westbrook, who struggled to fit into a new role with the Lakers, and from a team viewpoint, as L.A. missed the playoffs with a 33-49 record. While unloading Westbrook hasn't been an easy task for the Lakers, one potential trade that has popped up since free agency started is shipping the former MVP to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a deal that would send Kyrie Irving to the Lakers. Irving experienced his most success playing alongside LeBron James when the two were on the Cavaliers, and the Lakers hope that the two former teammates, along with Anthony Davis, could rekindle that chemistry in hopes of competing for a championship again. However, recent reports suggest that there's been no traction in a deal that would swap the two polarizing guards. Trade rumors aside though, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham is doing his best to dodge the trade fodder and remain positive about his current roster. "We love everyone on our roster," Ham said during the Lakers' Summer League game Friday night. "And until you're not on our roster, you're ours, and we're going to try to get better with our group. That's just the bottom line of it." CBS Sports HQ Newsletter Your Ultimate Guide to Every Day in Sports We bring sports news that matters to your inbox, to help you stay informed and get a winning edge. Thanks for signing up! Keep an eye on your inbox. Sorry! There was an error processing your subscription. This is a similar tone that Ham spoke with during his introductory press conference in June when he was announced as the Lakers' next head coach. He spoke highly of Westbrook, James and Davis, despite Westbrook's name constantly being mentioned in trade rumors. While Ham didn't mention Westbrook's name specifically on Friday, he echoed the same message that he did back in June about trade rumors and doing the best with what he has at his disposal. "I don't know a player that's come through this league in my 26 years that hasn't had their name part of a trade rumor a time or two," Ham said. "But, it is what it is. It's the nature of the beast of our business. And so, again, the guys we have on our roster I'm very thankful for, I'm proud of and we want to maximize everything they can do to help us get to that ultimate goal." While there may not be any traction on a Westbrook for Irving deal right now, that could change over the course of the summer. Everything in the league is currently held up by Kevin Durant's trade request from the Nets, and once that gets sorted out, perhaps we'll see Westbrook on a new team. Until then, though, he's still a member of the Lakers and if he does start the season in purple and gold, the team will have to figure out how to right the wrongs from last season with largely the same roster.	https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/lakers-coach-darvin-ham-remains-positive-about-his-team-amid-trade-rumors-we-love-everyone-on-our-roster/	2022-07-10T17:26:39Z	https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/lakers-coach-darvin-ham-remains-positive-about-his-team-amid-trade-rumors-we-love-everyone-on-our-roster/	true	2

Bucs Insider Shoots Down Jimmy Garoppolo Rumor As Jimmy Garoppolo becomes the subject of increasing trade rumors, one report of a potential interested team is being heavily refuted by a team insider. Several days ago NFL insider Dan Sileo reported that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a potential trade target. Sileo claims that the report comes straight from Garoppolo's agent, Don Yee. But Buccaneers insider Rick Stroud quickly pumped the brakes on that rumor. Taking to Twitter on Friday, Stroud said that the team's own coaches are against bringing Garoppolo into the fold. “If (Garoppolo) could throw a deep ball, he would’ve won two Super Bowls already," Stroud quoted a coach as saying. That's a pretty brutal assessment from an NFL coach. But it's one that might shared among other coaches throughout the league. It's no secret that Jimmy Garoppolo's arm strength is his one of his most questionable traits. His inability to throw an accurate deep ball cost the 49ers dearly in Super Bowl LIV and last season's NFC Championship Game. Garoppolo is in an offense that is already tailor-made to maximize his abilities. If that doesn't make him into an elite quarterback, it's hard to envision any offense that can. With Trey Lance on the rise and the rest of the NFL's quarterback positions pretty much settled, there aren't going to be many suitors for Garoppolo's services heading into training camp. Will Garoppolo find a new team this summer?	https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/bucs-insider-shoots-down-jimmy-garoppolo-rumor	2022-07-10T17:41:28Z	https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/bucs-insider-shoots-down-jimmy-garoppolo-rumor	false	1
Updated July 10, 2022 at 12:33 PM ET TOKYO — Japan's governing party and its coalition partner scored a major victory in a parliamentary election Sunday, possibly propelled by sympathy votes in the wake of the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Early results in the race for the parliament's upper house showed Abe's governing party and its junior coalition partner Komeito securing a majority in the chamber and adding more. The last day of campaigning on Saturday, a day after Abe was gunned down while delivering a speech, was held under heightened security as party leaders pledged to uphold democracy and renouncing violence. Also Sunday, police in western Japan sent the alleged assassin to a local prosecutors' office for further investigation. A top regional police official acknowledged possible security lapses that allowed the attacker to get so close and fire a bullet at the still-influential former Japanese leader. Preliminary vote counts showed the governing Liberal Democratic Party on track to secure a coalition total of at least 143 seats in the 248-member upper house, the less powerful of the two chambers. Up for election was half of the upper house's new six-year term. With a likely major boost, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stands to rule without interruption until a scheduled election in 2025. That would allow Kishida to work on long-term policy goals such as national security, his signature but still vague "new capitalism" economic policy, and his party's long-cherished goal to amend the U.S.-drafted postwar pacifist constitution. Kishida and senior party lawmakers observed a moment of silence for Abe at the party election headquarters before placing on the whiteboard victory ribbons next to the names of candidates who secured their seats. In the wake of Friday's brazen killing, Sunday's vote took on a new meaning, with all political leaders emphasizing the importance of free speech and their pledge not to back down on violence against democracy. "It was extremely meaningful that we carried out the election," Kishida said. "Our endeavor to protect democracy continues." Kishida welcomed early results and said responses to COVID-19, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and rising prices will be his priorities. He said he will also steadily push for reinforcing Japan's national security as well a constitutional amendment. Early results suggested a charter change proposal is now a possibility. The LDP and its junior partner as well as two supportive opposition parties together are certain to secure enough seats needed for an amendment proposal, which requires a two-thirds majority in both houses. The governing bloc already has secured support in the other chamber. On the final day of campaigning Saturday, party leaders avoided fist-bumps or other close-proximity friendly gestures they used to enjoy with the public — a sign of tightened security following Abe's assassination during a campaign rally. Mourners visited the LDP headquarters to lay flowers and pray for Abe as party officials prepared for vote counting inside. "We absolutely refuse to let violence shut out free speech," Kishida said in his final rally in the northern city of Niigata on Saturday. "We must demonstrate that our democracy and election will not back down on violence." Abe was shot in Nara on Friday and airlifted to a hospital but died of blood loss. Police arrested a former member of Japan's navy at the scene and confiscated a homemade gun. Several others were later found at his apartment. The suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, told investigators he acted because of Abe's rumored connection to an organization that he resented, police said, but had no problem with the former leader's political views. The man had developed hatred toward a religious group that his mother was obsessed about and that bankrupted a family business, according to media reports, including some that identified the group as the Unification Church. Abe's body, in a black hearse accompanied by his wife, Akie, returned to his home in Tokyo's upscale Shibuya, where many mourners, including Kishida and top party officials, paid tribute. His wake and funeral are expected in coming days. Nara prefectural police chief Tomoaki Onizuka on Saturday said that problems with security were undeniable, that he took the shooting seriously and will review the security procedures. Japan is known for its strict gun laws. With a population of 125 million, it had only 21 gun-related criminal cases in 2020, according to the latest government crime paper. Experts say, however, some recent attacks involved use of consumer items such as gasoline, suggesting increased risks for ordinary people to be embroiled in mass attacks. Even after stepping down as prime minister in 2020, Abe was highly influential in the LDP and headed its largest faction. His absence could change the power balance in the governing party that has almost uninterruptedly ruled postwar Japan since its 1955 foundation, experts say. "This could be a turning point" for the LDP over its divisive policies on gender equality, same-sex marriages and other issues that Abe-backed ultra-conservatives with paternalistic family values had resisted, said Mitsuru Fukuda, a crisis management professor at Nihon University. Japan's current diplomatic and security stance is unlikely to be swayed because fundamental changes had already been made by Abe. His ultra-nationalist views and pragmatic policies made him a divisive figure to many, including in the Koreas and China. Abe stepped down two years ago blaming a recurrence of the ulcerative colitis he'd had since he was a teenager. He said he regretted leave many of his goals unfinished, including the issue of Japanese abducted years ago by North Korea, a territorial dispute with Russia, and a revision of Japan's war-renouncing constitution that many conservatives consider a humiliation, because of poor public support. Abe was groomed to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi. His political rhetoric often focused on making Japan a "normal" and "beautiful" nation with a stronger military through security alliance with the United States and bigger role in international affairs. He became Japan's youngest prime minister in 2006, at age 52. But his overly nationalistic first stint abruptly ended a year later, also because of his health, prompting six years of annual leadership change. He returned to office in 2012, vowing to revitalize the nation and get its economy out of its deflationary doldrums with his "Abenomics" formula, which combines fiscal stimulus, monetary easing and structural reforms. He won six national elections and built a rock-solid grip on power. Copyright 2022 NPR.

Gambling in Tennessee has a short history. But within that short history, it has already made differences in education, pumping millions of dollars into scholarships and after-school programs, state records show. Ticket sales continue to jump annually, even locally. Over the past five years, ticket sales in Sullivan County have grown by $8 million and by $3.7 million in Hawkins County. Ticket sales such as that have led to an increase of more than $100 million in education funding by the Tennessee Lottery over the past five years, along with an increase of about $3.7 million in after-school care funding. The Tennessee Lottery has been game changing. As the Hard Rock Casino opens in Bristol, Virginia, Tennessee’s experience has shown that gambling can be lucrative and transformative for state and local economies. The newest form of gambling in Tennessee has been the advent of sports betting. The Tennessee General Assembly approved allowing sports betting just three years ago, but state records show it is already becoming a money machine. In 2020, during the first two months sports betting was legal, the state collected $5.5 million in privilege tax. The second year saw $40.6 million collected, and as of May this year, the state has collected $22.8 million. History of the lottery, sports betting The first ticket for the Tennessee Lottery was sold on Jan. 20, 2003, and $10.8 million in ticket sales was generated on that day alone, according to the Tennessee Lottery. The push toward the state lottery started in 2000 when the Tennessee General Assembly approved allowing a statewide referendum. By 2002, the referendum passed with 58% of voters favoring a lottery. The referendum allowed the state to change its constitution, permitting lottery sales to progress as long as the money went toward college scholarship funding, K-12 capital projects or after-school programs. By 2004, the Tennessee Lottery joined in its first multistate game: Powerball. During its first year, the lottery generated $836.4 million in ticket sales. It has since grown past $1 billion, according to Tennessee Lottery figures. Then in 2005, the state lottery saw its first Powerball winner, with a South Pittsburg woman collecting more than $25 million in winnings. Sports betting, however, has been a relatively new venture. Across the United States, sports betting was illegal from 1992 to 2018. But in 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned federal legislation and sports betting once again became legalized. This led Tennessee to pass legislation allowing online sports betting within the state, but not in-person. The first sports bets began being taken in November 2020. The Tennessee Sports Wagering Act also places stipulations on what the revenue can be used for within the state. The act states that 80% of the privilege tax revenue collected goes to the Lottery for Education Account, 15% goes to the general fund for infrastructure projects for local governments and 5% of the money goes to the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse for responsible gambling initiatives. Hitting the jackpot Tennessee’s HOPE Scholarship is one of the mechanisms of Tennessee Lottery and sports betting revenue that is funding students going to college. Tennessee students who graduate from an eligible high school are able to take advantage of the program. The potential HOPE recipient must have scored at least a 21 on the ACT and have an overall grade point average of 3.0 and attend an eligible Tennessee college. The student can receive up to $2,250 a semester when taking a full-time workload for the first two years and then during the junior and senior years can receive up to $2,850 a semester at a four-year institution. Those going to two-year colleges can receive $1,600 a semester. But college students aren’t the only jackpot winners. Stores selling lottery tickets earn commissions as well. State records show that in 2017, more than $104 million in commissions was paid out to retailers. By 2021, that number grew to $136.4 million. Retailers in Sullivan and Hawkins counties earned $2.3 million and $806,000 respectively in 2021. In 2017, the numbers were $1.75 million and $559,000. Casino gambling The likelihood of casino gambling is still far in the future for Tennessee. Casinos are illegal within the state and the state constitution prohibits them. Speculation recently started when the Eastern Band of the Cherokee bought property in Kodak within Sevier County, just miles away from Sevierville and Pigeon Forge. Nation leaders, though, have said at this point they plan to build a multi-use development, mostly made of retail properties with no eye on building a casino. Now, though, people can cross the border into Virginia to get in some game time and gambling at the new Hard Rock Casino, the parent company of which is owned by the Seminole tribe in Florida.	https://www.timesnews.net/living/casino-gaming/tennessee-lottery-sports-betting-making-impact-in-state/article_8651cb9a-fc7c-11ec-a669-474a0165909e.html	2022-07-10T17:53:58Z	https://www.timesnews.net/living/casino-gaming/tennessee-lottery-sports-betting-making-impact-in-state/article_8651cb9a-fc7c-11ec-a669-474a0165909e.html	false	1
The family of stricken schoolboy Archie Battersbee on Monday launch a last-ditch legal battle to save his life. Medics say life support should be removed from the 12-year-old, who has been in a coma for 13 weeks after an online “blackout challenge” went wrong. The High Court ruled last month treatment could lawfully be stopped as Archie was “brain-stem dead”. But mum Hollie Dance will return to the court where Mr Justice Hayden will review whether this is in Archie’s best interests. Hollie, 46, said: “We just want him to have more time. We just want him to be given a chance.” Archie was found with a ligature around his neck in April. He is on a ventilator at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, East London, where Hollie and Archie’s dad, Paul Battersbee, 56, say evid-ence had not shown “beyond reasonable doubt” he is dead. Hollie of Southend, Essex, told how his heart rate increases when she greets him each morning and his blood pressure rose when his pals visited him. She said: “It just fills me with hope.” Read More Read More	https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/archie-battersbees-family-set-last-27445462	2022-07-10T17:54:48Z	https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/archie-battersbees-family-set-last-27445462	true	1
WAVERLY, Tenn. (AP) — A volunteer firefighter in Tennessee has been charged with setting blazes that damaged multiple structures, authorities said. Leslie Roy Winchester, 19, was arrested Saturday after officials obtained warrants charging him with aggravated arson, arson, trespassing and vandalism, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said in a statement. The fires were set between July 1 and July 8 at various locations in Waverly and damaged or destroyed buildings including a church, a masonic lodge, a former fire hall and a vacant house, the statement said. Winchester was a volunteer firefighter in Humphreys County and confessed to setting the blazes, Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis told news outlets. Investigators believe he helped fight some of the fires he started, Davis said. Winchester was being held in the Humphreys County Jail on a $1.7 million bond, officials said. It wasn't immediately clear whether he has an attorney.	https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Volunteer-firefighter-charged-with-setting-blazes-17295562.php	2022-07-10T17:57:37Z	https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Volunteer-firefighter-charged-with-setting-blazes-17295562.php	false	13
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — A wildfire threatening the largest grove of giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park more than doubled in size in a day, and firefighters were working Sunday to protect the iconic trees and a small mountain town. Campers near the blaze were evacuated but the rest of the sprawling park in California remained open, though smoke that hung in the air obscured some scenic vistas. More than 500 mature sequoias were threatened in the Mariposa Grove but there were no reports of severe damage to any named trees, including the 3,000-year-old Grizzly Giant. The cause of the Washburn Fire was under investigation. It had grown to nearly 2.5 square miles (6.7 square kilometers) by Sunday morning. Beyond the trees, the community of Wawona, which is surrounded by parkland and a campground, was under threat, with people ordered to leave their homes and campsites Friday night. The blaze was proving difficult to contain, with firefighters throwing “every tactic imaginable” at it, including dropping fire retardant from the air, said Nancy Phillipe, a Yosemite fire information spokesperson. Firefighters planned to use bulldozers to create fire lines protecting Wawona, she said. About 600 to 700 people who were staying at the Wawona campground in tents, cabins and a historic hotel were ordered to leave. Temperatures were expected rise and reach the lower 90s in the coming days, but fire crews working in steep terrain were not contending with intense winds, said Jeffrey Barlow, senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Hanford. Smoke had settled across large swaths of the park but the fire wasn't sending up huge plumes seen a day earlier, Barlow said Sunday. Given the relatively small size of the fire and minimal winds, smoke impacts were not expected to stretch far beyond the park, he said. So far in 2022, over 35,000 wildfires have burned nearly 4.7 million acres, according to the National Interagency Fire Center, well above average for both wildfires and acres burned. The giant sequoias, native in only about 70 groves spread along the western slope of California’s Sierra Nevada range, were once considered impervious to flames but have become increasingly vulnerable as wildfires fueled by a buildup of undergrowth from a century of fire suppression and drought exacerbated by climate change have become more intense and destructive. Phillipe, the park spokeswoman, previously said some of the massive trunks had been wrapped in fire-resistant foil for protection, but she corrected herself on Sunday and said that was not the case for this fire. Lightning-sparked wildfires over the past two years have killed up to a fifth of the estimated 75,000 large sequoias, which are the biggest trees by volume. There was no obvious natural spark for the fire that broke out Thursday next to the park’s Washburn Trail, Phillipe said. Smoke was reported by visitors walking in the grove that reopened in 2018 after a $40 million renovation that took three years. A fierce windstorm ripped through the grove over a year ago and toppled 15 giant sequoias, along with countless other trees. The downed trees, along with massive numbers of pines killed by bark beetles, provided ample fuel for the flames. The park has used prescribed burns to clear brush around the sequoias, which helps protect them if flames spread farther into the grove. Meanwhile, most evacuation orders were lifted Saturday in the Sierra foothills about 80 miles (128 kilometers) to the northwest of the Yosemite fire, where a fire broke out on July 4. The Electra Fire that began near Jackson was mostly contained, and only areas directly within the fire’s perimeter remained under evacuation orders, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. ____ This story has been corrected to fix inaccurate information from a park spokesperson and reflect that the tree trunks are not wrapped in protective foil.	https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Yosemite-fire-grows-as-crews-protect-iconic-17295567.php	2022-07-10T17:57:38Z	https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Yosemite-fire-grows-as-crews-protect-iconic-17295567.php	false	80
It goes without saying that there are always plenty of negatives in the world. But if you try hard enough, you can find a positive in just about all of them. Advertisement And there would be few more positive sights for the staff across Australia's blood banks at the moment than new O-negative donors, given the nation's supply of live-saving blood is under critical pressure. Blood donations are at record low levels as illnesses force donors to cancel appointments. About 30,000 donor appointments per week are being cancelled, postponed or simply not attended, leaving centres with less than a day's worth of O-negative blood in reserve. O-negative blood can be given to anyone in need of a transfusion but fewer than one in 14 Australians have it, making about 7 per cent of the population particularly valuable to Red Cross. There are seven other main blood types, with some more rare or versatile than others. But Lifeblood, the Red Cross branch that manages the nation's life-saving blood products, does not discriminate. That has perhaps never been more true than it is this winter as the so-called "triple threat" of COVID-19, the flu and other respiratory illnesses keeps donors away from blood banks. And so it is time for us in the Wimmera who are able to donate to roll up their sleeves and start saving lives. Someone you know is bound to need blood one day because one in three Australians do at some point. What that means is a donation is needed in this country every 18 seconds. If you are not motivated simply by knowing blood donation is likely to have an impact on your life or that of someone you love, Kate Waterford's story illustrates the importance of the issue. She has been giving blood for more than 10 years, and has this weekend urged new or lapsed donors to help make up the shortfalls at centres that have been almost empty in recent days. Ms Waterford knows the power of blood donation not only because she has given her own, but also because transfusions have saved her life on three occasions. She will never know the names of the people who kept her alive, nor will those she has saved know hers. That sort of selflessness is why those who give the gift of life are, as Ms Waterford puts it, "absolute heroes".

Novak Djokovic maintained his stranglehold on Wimbledon by beating a frustrated Nick Kyrgios to win a fourth consecutive title and 21st grand slam crown. The Serbian has now won seven of the last 11 titles at the All England Club, equalling Pete Sampras’s tally and closing to within one of both Roger Federer’s men’s singles record here and Rafael Nadal’s overall mark. It has been a difficult season for Djokovic but he has once again been able to rely on the lawns of Centre Court to bring the best out of him, and he raised his arms aloft after securing a 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6 (3) victory.

One of the first questions nearly everyone asks Mike Kruse when they learn he was a sleeper at the Northfield Firehouse for 47 years, is always about the fire pole. "I used the fire pole on every call," Kruse said in a phone interview from northern Minnesota where he retired two years ago. During those years, there were a few mishaps involving the fire pole. Once during a tour with elementary school children, a student almost fell down the hold. But, it was after a hapless a pizza delivery man fell down the hole breaking an arm and a leg that a gate was finally added. Kruse, who was born and raised in Northfield, literally followed his father, Clinton Kruse, in service to the community. As the oldest of nine children, Kruse served in the military, worked as a union electrician, was a Sunday dispatcher and a volunteer firefighter just like his dad. "I followed in his footsteps," he said. Kruse, who never married, moved into the firehouse when there were three bedrooms with bunkbeds for double occupancy. The rooms had no doors, but the sleepers did have a maid. After the remodel when the meeting room moved to the basement, Kruse said doors were added to the new configuration of four bedrooms. All the sleepers bought their own food and prepared their own meals, although they shared a central refrigerator and kitchen cupboards. The sleepers shared a T.V. and for a while they had a pool table. "It was like a fraternity," he said. "We had a ritual where the guys would come up on Sunday mornings and we'd watch All-Star wrestling. "A lot of people couldn't believe the firehouse had sleepers upstairs," he said. Over all the years he lived there with a number of other firefighters rotating in and out, Kruse said there was only one person he didn't get along with — and he wasn't even a volunteer, he was a city employee. As one of the sleepers at the Northfield Firehouse, Michael Hodne was usually driving the first first truck out of the garage on a call. For seven years Hodne lived upstairs in the dorm-style units with private bedrooms and shared living room, kitchen and bathrooms. As a paid-on-call-volunteer, Hodne knew perfectly well what he had signed up for. "I had a lot of responsibility," he said. "As the driver, I had to get to the scene safely with full water tanks, and then get people back safely." Hodne, who works full-time at Cardinal Glass, said despite what people believe from television shows and movies, firetrucks loaded with a thousand gallons of water are not that fast. "Our lights and signs ask cars to yield to us during a call," he said. "But a truck that heavy can't stop on a dime. It's more like stopping a semi-trailer truck." Hodne, who is proudly accident free — knock on wood — said being cross-trained as an EMT gives all the members on the call a lot of different responsibilities. "The good thing about that is that we've had some saves working as a team," said Hodne. The flip side of that teamwork is that the responders "see some bad stuff nobody wants to see. There are some memories that can negatively effect you later in life." Regardless, the sleepers always were and still are ready to slide down that pole and head where they're needed, when they're needed.	https://www.southernminn.com/northfield_news/news/firehouse-sleepers-are-just-a-pole-slide-away-from-responding-to-calls/article_429d6e06-f176-11ec-a1c8-93f3666bc105.html	2022-07-10T18:01:33Z	https://www.southernminn.com/northfield_news/news/firehouse-sleepers-are-just-a-pole-slide-away-from-responding-to-calls/article_429d6e06-f176-11ec-a1c8-93f3666bc105.html	true	2

Jim Goodwin praised his Aberdeen players’ “attitude and application” after Christian Ramirez’s second-half double gave the Dons a 2-0 win in their opening Premier Sports Cup Group A game against Peterhead. The League One outfit made life tough for the visitors before Ramirez converted a penalty in the 63rd minute after Matt Kennedy was knocked to the ground inside the area by defender Jack Brown. The Pittodrie striker then headed in a Marley Watkins cross 10 minutes later to seal the points and Goodwin was satisfied with the 90 minutes overall. The former Alloa and St Mirren manager told Premier Sports: “First and foremost we are delighted with the end result. “We would have liked a few more goals and I have to give credit to the young Peterhead goalkeeper (Jack Newman), I think he deserved his man-of-the-match award today. “Credit to Jim McInally and all his players, they were very well organised. “I have been that part-time manager in the past before where you are playing against Premiership opposition and you want to keep it compact and frustrate them and they certainly did that in the first half. “So well done to Peterhead, but ultimately I am happy with the attitude and application of my players. “It is never easy. You are on a hiding to nothing in these games. “We are expected to win and thankfully we got the result. “Like I said, we would have liked more goals, but the clean sheet was important too. All in all, I think it was a decent day.” Goodwin hopes Ramirez has shown the way to goal early in the season for his fellow forward-thinking team-mates. The Irishman said: “That’s the message we have given to all the attacking players during this League Cup campaign. “It is an opportunity to get some goals early on in the campaign, to get some confidence and hopefully get some momentum going into the league campaign. “So really, really pleased with the attitude first and foremost and, of course, the two goals was excellent.” Subscribe or register today to discover more from DonegalLive.ie Buy the e-paper of the Donegal Democrat, Donegal People's Press, Donegal Post and Inish Times here for instant access to Donegal's premier news titles.

Updated July 10, 2022 at 12:33 PM ET TOKYO — Japan's governing party and its coalition partner scored a major victory in a parliamentary election Sunday, possibly propelled by sympathy votes in the wake of the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Early results in the race for the parliament's upper house showed Abe's governing party and its junior coalition partner Komeito securing a majority in the chamber and adding more. The last day of campaigning on Saturday, a day after Abe was gunned down while delivering a speech, was held under heightened security as party leaders pledged to uphold democracy and renouncing violence. Also Sunday, police in western Japan sent the alleged assassin to a local prosecutors' office for further investigation. A top regional police official acknowledged possible security lapses that allowed the attacker to get so close and fire a bullet at the still-influential former Japanese leader. Preliminary vote counts showed the governing Liberal Democratic Party on track to secure a coalition total of at least 143 seats in the 248-member upper house, the less powerful of the two chambers. Up for election was half of the upper house's new six-year term. With a likely major boost, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stands to rule without interruption until a scheduled election in 2025. That would allow Kishida to work on long-term policy goals such as national security, his signature but still vague "new capitalism" economic policy, and his party's long-cherished goal to amend the U.S.-drafted postwar pacifist constitution. Kishida and senior party lawmakers observed a moment of silence for Abe at the party election headquarters before placing on the whiteboard victory ribbons next to the names of candidates who secured their seats. In the wake of Friday's brazen killing, Sunday's vote took on a new meaning, with all political leaders emphasizing the importance of free speech and their pledge not to back down on violence against democracy. "It was extremely meaningful that we carried out the election," Kishida said. "Our endeavor to protect democracy continues." Kishida welcomed early results and said responses to COVID-19, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and rising prices will be his priorities. He said he will also steadily push for reinforcing Japan's national security as well a constitutional amendment. Early results suggested a charter change proposal is now a possibility. The LDP and its junior partner as well as two supportive opposition parties together are certain to secure enough seats needed for an amendment proposal, which requires a two-thirds majority in both houses. The governing bloc already has secured support in the other chamber. On the final day of campaigning Saturday, party leaders avoided fist-bumps or other close-proximity friendly gestures they used to enjoy with the public — a sign of tightened security following Abe's assassination during a campaign rally. Mourners visited the LDP headquarters to lay flowers and pray for Abe as party officials prepared for vote counting inside. "We absolutely refuse to let violence shut out free speech," Kishida said in his final rally in the northern city of Niigata on Saturday. "We must demonstrate that our democracy and election will not back down on violence." Abe was shot in Nara on Friday and airlifted to a hospital but died of blood loss. Police arrested a former member of Japan's navy at the scene and confiscated a homemade gun. Several others were later found at his apartment. The suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, told investigators he acted because of Abe's rumored connection to an organization that he resented, police said, but had no problem with the former leader's political views. The man had developed hatred toward a religious group that his mother was obsessed about and that bankrupted a family business, according to media reports, including some that identified the group as the Unification Church. Abe's body, in a black hearse accompanied by his wife, Akie, returned to his home in Tokyo's upscale Shibuya, where many mourners, including Kishida and top party officials, paid tribute. His wake and funeral are expected in coming days. Nara prefectural police chief Tomoaki Onizuka on Saturday said that problems with security were undeniable, that he took the shooting seriously and will review the security procedures. Japan is known for its strict gun laws. With a population of 125 million, it had only 21 gun-related criminal cases in 2020, according to the latest government crime paper. Experts say, however, some recent attacks involved use of consumer items such as gasoline, suggesting increased risks for ordinary people to be embroiled in mass attacks. Even after stepping down as prime minister in 2020, Abe was highly influential in the LDP and headed its largest faction. His absence could change the power balance in the governing party that has almost uninterruptedly ruled postwar Japan since its 1955 foundation, experts say. "This could be a turning point" for the LDP over its divisive policies on gender equality, same-sex marriages and other issues that Abe-backed ultra-conservatives with paternalistic family values had resisted, said Mitsuru Fukuda, a crisis management professor at Nihon University. Japan's current diplomatic and security stance is unlikely to be swayed because fundamental changes had already been made by Abe. His ultra-nationalist views and pragmatic policies made him a divisive figure to many, including in the Koreas and China. Abe stepped down two years ago blaming a recurrence of the ulcerative colitis he'd had since he was a teenager. He said he regretted leave many of his goals unfinished, including the issue of Japanese abducted years ago by North Korea, a territorial dispute with Russia, and a revision of Japan's war-renouncing constitution that many conservatives consider a humiliation, because of poor public support. Abe was groomed to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi. His political rhetoric often focused on making Japan a "normal" and "beautiful" nation with a stronger military through security alliance with the United States and bigger role in international affairs. He became Japan's youngest prime minister in 2006, at age 52. But his overly nationalistic first stint abruptly ended a year later, also because of his health, prompting six years of annual leadership change. He returned to office in 2012, vowing to revitalize the nation and get its economy out of its deflationary doldrums with his "Abenomics" formula, which combines fiscal stimulus, monetary easing and structural reforms. He won six national elections and built a rock-solid grip on power. Copyright 2022 NPR.

The U.S. Army has suspended a former top spokesperson from a consulting position and put him under investigation after he posted a tweet appearing to mock Jill Biden over a recent comment by the first lady on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The tweet by retired Lt. Gen. Gary Volesky came in response to a June 24 statement posted to the first lady's Twitter account following the court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. "Glad to see you finally know what a woman is," Volesky responded, according to USA Today, which first reported the story. The tweet has since been deleted. His remark appeared to echo an exchange between Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., during a confirmation hearing for Jackson in March. Blackburn pushed Jackson to define the word "woman" in regards to transgender rights. For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. — Jill Biden (@FLOTUS) June 24, 2022 Today, that right was stolen from us. And while we may be devastated by this injustice, we will not be silent. We will not sit back as the progress we have already won slips away. Volesky was on a $92-an-hour contract with the Army serving as a senior mentor advising top military officers and other personnel on war games strategy and other military activities, according to the USA Today report. The Army did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but in a statement to USA Today, spokeswoman Cynthia Smith confirmed that Volesky had been suspended pending the inquiry's outcome. Attempts to reach Volesky were not immediately successful. Volesky is a decorated, retired three-star general who received one of the military's highest honors, the Silver Star, for his valor in Iraq. He also served in the Gulf War and the war in Afghanistan. He commanded the Army's I Corps, one of its top formations. He was also commander of the 101st Airborne Division. Volesky was the chief of the Army's Public Affairs division from 2012 to 2014 and retired from the Army in 2020. The tweet was not the first time that Volesky had posted about politics. In 2021, he responded to a tweet by Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., about the investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, according to USA Today. "I'm honored to serve on the January 6th select committee. Our oath to the Constitution must be above partisan politics," Cheney tweeted. "This is all about partisan politics," Volesky tweeted in response, according to USA Today. Copyright 2022 NPR.

Describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the “weakest and inefficient” Prime Minister ever in the country, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Sunday said there is a need for “double-engine non-BJP government” at the Centre. Speaking to reporters here, Rao, popularly known as KCR, said former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was bold enough to declare Emergency in the 1970s, whereas there is an “undeclared emergency'' in the country under Modi’s rule. Alleging that the BJP-led NDA government is corrupt, he said the government at the Centre would be replaced and there would be inquiry on the 'misdeeds' such as coal import pressure on States. “Narendra Modi government should go and a non-BJP government should come. It is our slogan. Thanks to Narendra Modi. We accept your proposal for a double-engine growth…for double-engine 'sarkar’. Now, the people should decide as to which double-engine should come, whether it should be BJP double-engine or non-BJP double-engine. The facts and figures clearly say that the country requires a non-BJP double-engine government. Not BJP double-engine government. Yes. It is established,” he said, emphasising that non-BJP State governments are more progressive than the BJP-ruled ones. Stating that he does not have any personal enmity with Modi, KCR said it was his (Modi’s) policies that the southern satrap is against. “I am saying this and will say. There was no such weak and inefficient Prime Minister like Modi...during the Congress rule, there was brain-drain. Now, with your government policies, there is a capital-drain, resulting in depleting forex reserves,” he said. Alleging that several companies are withdrawing their investments from the country, KCR said: “Make in India” is a big failure as the country even now imports kites and national flags from China. He opined that the NDA government should have consulted other parties and taken them into confidence before finalising schemes such as “Agnipath,” an army recruitment scheme. "They say we need a younger generation in the army. Even our country needs a young Prime Minister,” he said. He said some retired army officials have felt that “the Indo-China border is not a lab for experiments.” KCR said BJP and Congress are indulging in a blame-game, citing the developments relating to GST (goods and services tax) during their respective governments. He reiterated that he is working for a qualitative change in government at the national-level. The Chief Minister exhorted youth and other sections to oust the BJP, claiming it is the only way to save the country. Imposition of restrictions in the name of FRBM (fiscal responsibility and budget management) Act is yet another step of the BJP government to harass performing States like Telangana, KCR added. KCR played a video-clip before reporters to buttress his points, in which Modi, when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat, blamed the then UPA government at the Centre for the sliding value of the rupee against the dollar. Fall in GDP, rise in inflation, depreciation of rupee value, rise in prices of gas, petrol, diesel and other price rise, unemployment shooting up to 8.3 per cent are all exposing the inefficiency of the BJP government, he alleged. KCR further said Modi owes the former an explanation on several issues and that the TRS would take up them in the coming Parliament session and other platforms.	https://www.outlookindia.com/national/need-double-engine-non-bjp-government-at-the-centre-telangana-chief-minister-k-chandrashekar-rao-news-208252	2022-07-10T18:15:43Z	https://www.outlookindia.com/national/need-double-engine-non-bjp-government-at-the-centre-telangana-chief-minister-k-chandrashekar-rao-news-208252	true	6

Love Island: 'I hope someone has made sure it's OK!' Fans beg producers to take 'unhealthy' looking stray cat who wandered into the villa to a vet Love Island fans have begged producers to step in and held a stray cat that wondered into the villa during Saturday's Unseen Bits episode. The islanders received an unexpected visitor when Gemma Owen noticed the cat perched beside the sofa in the garden. Getting down on her hands and knees, she crawled across the decking towards the feline before alerting the other islanders to their new guest. Help: Love Island fans have begged producers to step in and held a stray cat that wondered into the villa during Saturday's Unseen Bits episode Indiya Polack said: 'Gemma go and get it, bring it in...we need a support animal.' Gemma replied: 'Someone chuck me down some ham in my hand.' Indiyah then threw her down a slice of ham from the fridge, which the cat quickly took and ran away. Indiyah then jokingly called the cat a 'b*h' while Gemma added: 'Is it taking the p, it's taken the ham and p**ed off. Clip: The islanders received an unexpected visitor when Gemma Owen noticed the cat perched beside the sofa in the garden 'I've literally been on my hands and knees for this.' Viewers quickly took to social media to ask if producers had tried to rescue the cat as they thought it looked ill. One said: 'Please take the cat to a vet! Its ears look cancerous (which happens to cats in sunny climates).' Another wrote: 'The cat looked homeless and unhealthy. I hope someone has made sure it's okay?' Worried: Viewers quickly took to social media to ask if producers had tried to rescue the cat as they thought it looked ill Another added: 'The white cat at the villa probably has skin cancer on the tips of its ears from sun damage. Maybe @LoveIsland can get it to a vet?' One viewer said: '@LoveIsland please take the cat to a vet! It's ears look cancerous (which happens to cats in sunny climates)'. MailOnline has contacted Love Island representatives for comment. Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVHub.

(AP) — All-Star forward Adrian Kempe has agreed to a four-year, $22 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Kings. Kempe set career highs with 35 goals and 54 points last season while earning his first All-Star Game selection. The right wing also led the Kings with six points in seven postseason games after Los Angeles qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2018. The 2014 first-round pick from Sweden has scored 186 points in 390 games over six seasons with the Kings.

11 Ways To Save More at Walmart for Summer 2022 It's a well-known fact that when you wheel your cart down the aisles of Walmart or shop its thousands of products online, you can score some pretty good deals. The retailer has everything you need this summer, too -- from ice cream to sunscreen -- so it's also convenient to shop there. Find Out: 11 Things You Should Never Buy at Walmart Save More: 7 Secret Money Traps at Walmart But what if you could take your savings to the next level? You're in luck, because GOBankingRates has the information you need to do just that, straight from retail and personal finance experts. Here are 11 tips for summer shopping at Walmart . Download the Walmart App Rebecca Gramuglia, consumer expert at TopCashback , said that one perk of the app is the ability to see if your desired item is in stock. "Not only will you save time by doing this, but you might even find a better deal for a similar product," she said. "And when the holidays come around, be on the lookout for app-only early access to sales and promotions." Take Advantage of Price Match "Walmart will usually price match items in-store that are listed for cheaper online. Beware that there may be requirements to meet, but in general this is a good way to save without having to ask for a competitor price match," said consumer analyst Julie Ramhold with DealNews . Small Business Spotlight 2022: Nominate Your Favorite Small Biz Shop Early for Selection "Overnight workers are largely focused on restocking shelves, so if you want the best selection, it's best to shop early," said Ramhold. "With freshly-stocked shelves, you should be able to choose between name brands and store brands with ease, rather than being forced to buy the more expensive name brand because it's all that's available later in the day." Shop in the Morning for Food Discounts "The best time to get discounted baked goods and meat is between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m," said Sara Conklin, owner of Frozen Pennies . "These departments are responsible for their own markdowns and getting fresh items out is supposed to happen first thing in the morning." Take Advantage of Pickup "Walmart offers free 2-day shipping on eligible orders over $35, but sometimes it can be difficult to hit that minimum," Ramhold said. "Instead of spending more to reach it when you don't need those excess items, opt for in-store pickup instead. Occasionally, you may even be able to save more with a pickup discount." Stick With Walmart Brands "Whether you're buying beach towels, sunscreen or sweet treats for your summer needs, you can save 30 to 40% by choosing Walmart brand over the name brand," said money-saving expert Andrea Woroch . "For example, the 9.1-ounce bottle of Equate Sport Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is priced at just under $7 while the Banana Boat Sunscreen Spray with SPF 50 will run you more at $7.97 for a smaller bottle size! Before buying any summer essentials, always look at Walmart's Brands -- Equate for beach/personal care, Mainstays for home goods including beach towels and chairs, Expert Grill for grills, and Great Value for food like ice cream!" Earn More Cash Back on Purchases "When shopping online, you can earn extra cash back by shopping through a cashback portal like CouponCabin.com, which offers up to 2% cash back on your purchases," Woroch said. "Meanwhile, paying with the Capital One Walmart Rewards card will get you 5% cash back on Walmart.com purchases and 2% back for in-store purchases." Try a Walmart+ Membership "Try Walmart+ free for 30 days," recommended Tiara Rea-Palmer, director of partnerships at CouponFollow . "For those 30 days, you'll save 10 cents per gallon of fuel, free grocery delivery and free Walmart.com delivery. You can cancel before the 30 days are up if you need; otherwise, it's just $12.95/month and by signing up, you get Spotify free for 6 months too." Know What Items To Avoid "Avoid seasonal, limited stock items like air conditioners in the summer and heaters in the winter," Rea-Palmer said. "These are often not on sale due to high demand. If you can buy them before the heat or cold hits, you'll save more." Be Wary of Off-Brands Products "Some of these are diamonds in the rough, but some are money pits that save you money now but [ultimately] cost more because you have to replace them," said Rea-Palmer. "Look at reviews before buying off-brand appliances, TVs, and other tech devices." Don't Assume Walmart Always Has the Best Price "Walmart advertises that it has everyday low prices, but that doesn't mean they have the lowest prices around," advised Ramhold. "Be sure to shop around, especially if you're looking at big-ticket items or you're on a tighter budget. Even if other retailers have what looks like higher prices, you may be able to stack savings or take advantage of other budget-friendly options not available at Walmart."

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has conceded that his team did not have the pace to take the fight to Ferrari during the 2022 F1 Austrian GP. Max Verstappen dominated during Friday's qualifying session as well as the second Sprint race of the season to claim victory and started the 71-lap race on Sunday from P1. However, an unforeseen tire degradation issue appeared to derail Red Bull's charge to take the fight to Ferrari. Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports after Verstappen's P2 finish at the Red Bull Ring, Christian Horner shared his thoughts on the race, saying: “Very important points today and congratulations to Ferrari today they had a quicker car throughout the majority of the race. Max was coming back at the end there but our tyre deg was higher from halfway through the first stint and it was hard to combat that. Ferrari just seemed lighter on the tyres and obviously they had a pace advantage and that gives you more strategic options.” Verstappen was the only Red Bull driver to cross the finish line as Sergio Perez was forced to retire after his car picked up substantial damage following an opening lap incident with Mercedes' George Russell. Horner and Red Bull's blow was softened to an extent when Ferrari's Carlos Sainz also failed to finish the race after his car caught on fire. The 48-year-old added: “Losing Checo was obviously hugely disappointing. It is unlucky for them [Ferrari] today with Carlos [Sainz] but our pace at the end of the race, we still have the fastest lap, but we didn’t have the range we had yesterday and that is something we need to understand. Over the two races we have only given away five points with Max so it is not too bad. We are hugely disappointed with Checo.” "Things change quickly in F1" - Red Bull's Max Verstappen does not have 2022 world title in the bag, according to David Coulthard Max Verstappen does not have the 2022 F1 World Championship wrapped up just yet, according to former driver-turned-television analyst David Coulthard. After two DNFs in the first three races of the season, the reigning world champion was on a roll with five wins and six podium finishes before his run came to an end with a P7 finish at the 2022 F1 British GP. This run of good form, coupled with Ferrari's shortcomings that have hamstrung Charles Leclerc to an extent, has helped Max Verstappen build up a formidable lead in the World Drivers' Championship standings. A successful defense of the Dutchman's 2021 championship, however, is far from a forgone conclusion, according to Coulthard. Speaking to the media in the build-up to the 2022 F1 British GP, the Briton said: “I don’t, I really don’t I think that, you know, Ferrari, if they hadn’t had those two non-finishes, then it would have made a big difference. I think things change quickly in Formula 1. I think that the Ferrari is still fundamentally a fast car, which has obviously got reliability issues. And you know, we saw again, [Sergio] Perez had reliability issues on the [2022 F1 Canadian GP] weekend. So you know, let’s see how the season plays out.” He continued: “But, you know, he’s [Verstappen] on a roll, there’s no question. He’s driving beautifully. But Carlos Sainz looked pretty quick on the weekend, maybe if that had been Charles [Leclerc] up there, maybe he would have had a go, who knows.” After his P2 finish in Austria, the Dutchman is still leading the World Drivers' Championship standings with 208 points at the halfway point of the season. Charles Leclerc is in P2, 38 points behind the Dutchman.	https://www.sportskeeda.com/f1/news-red-bull-pace-contend-ferrari-2022-f1-austrian-gp-claims-christian-horner	2022-07-10T18:47:18Z	https://www.sportskeeda.com/f1/news-red-bull-pace-contend-ferrari-2022-f1-austrian-gp-claims-christian-horner	false	1
SPRINGDALE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas police have arrested a man on an attempted capital murder charge in a shooting that caused mass flight from a concert in the state’s northwest. Officers arrived at Parsons Stadium in Springdale soon before 11 p.m. Saturday to find a crowd fleeing and a man in his twenties with a gunshot wound in the "upper torso," city police said in a statement. Capt. Jeff Taylor told The Associated Press he did not know who was performing or whether anyone else was injured in the evacuation. Paramedics took the wounded man to a local hospital where witnesses told investigators that the suspected gunman was Erik Navareyes, according to the statement. Around 1 a.m. Sunday, officers found Navareyes at a hospital in the neighboring community of Rogers. Police said hospital staff told them the 21-year-old had sough treatment there, saying he was in a fight and shot someone. Police arrested Navareyes and took him to the Washington County jail. He was not listed in jail records Sunday afternoon and Taylor told The Associated Press he did not know whether the man has a lawyer. Taylor said the gunshot victim survived but that he could not provide additional information on his health.	https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Police-arrest-man-in-northwest-Arkansas-concert-17295607.php	2022-07-10T18:50:43Z	https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Police-arrest-man-in-northwest-Arkansas-concert-17295607.php	true	12

Coca-Cola HBC AG (OTC:CCHBF) Q3 2019 Earnings Conference Call November 13, 2019 4:00 AM ET Company Participants Joanna Kennedy - Investor Relations Zoran Bogdanovic - Chief Executive Officer Michalis Imellos - Chief Financial Officer Conference Call Participants Sanjeet Aujla - Credit Suisse Andrea Pistacchi - Deutsche Bank Stamatis Draziotis - Eurobank Equities Nico von Stackelberg - Liberum Ewan Mitchell - Barclays Joanna Kennedy Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our Third Quarter Trading Update Call. Today, I am joined by our CEO, Zoran Bogdanovic; and our CFO, Michalis Imellos. Although, we have added a webcast facility to our call for ease of access there will be no slide presentation today as per our usual practice for trading updates. We will start with some brief opening marks from Zoran and then open the floor to your questions. As always, kindly ask your questions one at a time, waiting for us to answer one question before then moving on to another. The operator will, of course, keep your line open until we have answered all of your questions. Finally, I must also remind everyone that this conference call contains various forward-looking statements and these should be considered in conjunction with the cautionary statements in our trading update press release which we published this morning. And with that, I'd hand the call over to Zoran. Zoran Bogdanovic Thank you, Joanna. Good morning, everyone. This quarter we have delivered solid results against a very challenging backdrop in which unusually bad weather impacted industry volumes in several of our key markets. We estimate the impact of this was a negative 1.7 percentage points on Q3 revenues, 1.5 percentage points on volume and a further 20 basis points on price/mix. Overall, third quarter revenue growth was 5% on a reported basis, 3.4% on a currency-neutral basis and 2.3% excluding the impact of the acquisition of Bambi and FX. This is comprised of currency-neutral revenue per case growth of 2.4% offset by a marginal 10 basis point decline in volumes. Our transactions are consistently growing ahead of volume across all major categories. Despite the challenging backdrop, we continue to execute successfully on our strategic priorities. We made strong progress on our key areas of strategic focus through the quarter, maintaining or gaining share in the majority of our markets. The pace of innovation in our portfolio continues to be strong and our execution in the market is successfully getting debt portfolio into the hands of our consumers. Innovations contributed 3.7 percentage points of volume growth in the quarter. We continue to see positive development from several of our key categories which will drive our performance, including Trademark Coke, Zero, Adult Sparkling and Energy. Our revenue growth management initiatives are driving improved pack category and price/mix and this quarter the pace of expansion of price/mix accelerated by more than 1 percentage point to 2.4%, excluding the impact of Bambi and FX. We delivered this strong performance on price/mix despite the conscious actions we took in Nigeria to adjust pricing down. Excluding Nigeria, FX-neutral revenue per case expansion in the quarter was 3%, another indication that our revenue growth management and premiumization initiatives are working well. Turning to volumes. As I mentioned at the start, we witnessed a quite significant impact of poor weather in several of our key markets over the summer period. The industry as a whole saw volume declines in the third quarter of between low to high single digits in Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia to name the most important ones impacting our results. While our volumes were clearly impacted by this, we are pleased to see that we still gained or maintained share in the majority of our markets. Let me now take you through the main drivers of FX-neutral revenue growth on a segmental basis. Established markets currency-neutral revenue grew by 1.5% with volume growth of 1.2% and price/mix expansion of 30 basis points. We continue to deliver strong momentum in volume growth in Italy and Ireland, while volumes were weaker in the rest of the segment, but with positive price/mix across the vast majority of markets. Developing markets currency-neutral revenue grew by 40 basis points as strong price/mix improvements of 4.6% offset a volume decline of 4%. Volume was impacted by challenging comparatives this quarter, as well as very poor weather this summer which drove declines in the NARTD industry in our largest countries in the segment. Despite this, volumes are still growing on a high single-digit base in the quarter over the past two years. Price/mix development has been strong, driven by improved pack and category mix as well as pricing initiatives. Emerging markets currency-neutral revenue grew by 6.5% or by 3.9% excluding impact of Bambi. Decomposing this 3.9% underlying revenue growth, we saw volume contribution of 80 basis points and price/mix of 3.1%. Strong volume growth in Romania and Ukraine, as well as positive ongoing developments in Nigeria were partially offset by volume declines in Russia. The NARTD industry in Russia saw volume declines of just under 7% in the third quarter. Against this backdrop, we are pleased to have gained value share in sparkling and have succeeded in driving very strong price/mix in the quarter, which is now fully visible in our results after lapping the impact of Brown-Forman in the first half. More broadly, we are very encouraged to see similarly strong performance on price/mix across the segment, which was up 4.9% excluding Nigeria. Now let me spend some time on Nigeria. The consumer environment in the country remains stable albeit weak, while the competitive dynamic is intense. As you know, we started making pricing investments in the fourth quarter of 2018, initially in our returnable glass package type. And in September, we concluded that work with a further investment in PET pricing. We have been encouraged by the results from this strategy throughout the year and the early signs from September's action are extremely positive with strong double-digit volume growth. We believe that with this investment we have created a very solid base for growth in the fourth quarter and beyond. Innovation continues to play a strong role in driving growth. It is central to our strategy that our portfolio continues to improve and become more consumer and customer-centric. This portfolio is giving us the opportunity to go after additional high-value occasions and channels and is driving growth. New categories, brands, flavors and packages launched in the last 12 months, represented 3.7 percentage points of volume growth in the quarter. The majority of these launches are new package types, which helped drive improvements in pack mix while providing the consumer with the right-sized convenient choice they want. It is this type of innovation together with our diligent execution focus on smaller packs of core categories that is helping to drive 260 basis points of improvement in single serve mix in the quarter. Innovation is also giving the consumer more choice, be it new flavors or completely new brands like AdeZ plant-based beverages which is now available in 17 of our markets Smartwater now available in 11 markets or Coke Energy now available in 13 markets. More specifically on category growth, we saw higher growth in sparkling volumes increasing by 1.3% with continued strong growth from our areas of strategic focus like Trademark Coke, up 4%, low and no sugar variance, up 21.4% and Adult Sparking, up 7.7%. Still drink volumes declined by 40 basis points with mixed performances from the key categories as you will have seen in the press release. In general, categories like water and ready-to-drink tea tend to be particularly sensitive to weather trends and this has had an impact in the third quarter. We are making positive strides when it comes to sustainability and during the third quarter, added Croatia, as our fourth market to sell water bottled in 100% recycled PET packaging. We remain committed to having 35% of PET sourced from recycled PET by 2025. I'm very proud that Coca-Cola Hellenic has been named Europe's most sustainable beverage company by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the sixth time in seven years. We remain focused on implementing and delivering our strategy, focusing on partnering with our customers and continuously strengthening our route to market with segmented execution to capture the growth opportunities in every channel, while offering a product portfolio that is stronger, broader and more consumer and customer-centric than ever. This focus on the customer is central to the way we want to work at CCH, and our culture is evolving to meet this goal head on. In conclusion, we are pleased with the strategic progress we have made in the third quarter. Although the volume results were impacted by unusually poor weather dynamics, we are encouraged by the good performance on market shares in most of our markets and the acceleration of our price/mix development. This, together with the return to strong performance that we have seen across our territories as the weather impact normalizes, gives me confidence in an acceleration in Q4. Overall, we expect FX-neutral top-line growth of 4% to 4.5%, including a 70 basis point benefit from Bambi, solid in light of the weather impact. We have benefited from a better than expected FX environment, and this, combined with our continual efforts to improve efficiency, lead us to expect another year of good profit and margin expansion. With that, I will now hand over to the operator, and Michalis and I will take any questions you may have. Question-and-Answer Session Operator Thank you. [Operator Instructions] We have the first question in the queue from the line of Sanjeet Aujla from Credit Suisse. Please go ahead. Sanjeet Aujla Yes, hi, Zoran and Michalis. A couple of questions please. My first one is really on Nigeria. Can you just articulate a little bit more how the strategy has evolved, what you've done with the price pack architecture and why you now have the confidence that the business has been reset for growth? Maybe if you take that one first and then I'll follow-up with a couple more. Zoran Bogdanovic Yes. Thank you, Sanjeet. Good morning. So, in Nigeria, as I mentioned in my remarks, in Q4 of last year, we started with our investments in pricing initiatives on our returnable glass packaging. And we have seen that that has really started giving good results. And we've seen that throughout the year, especially our focus was in Lagos where we have been recording very strong double-digit growth rates. Then significant part of the market is in PET, which has high competitive intensity as I highlighted. And this is where in September; we have done further investment in our pricing initiatives based on which we've seen very strong acceleration in -- at the start of Q4 that we also observed to date. So, these are like the core of that. And I would highlight that our imperative is that we are competitive for our consumers. This is also enabled by our continuous very strong work on increasing the overall competitiveness and efficiency of our business which is fueling and funding our initiatives to drive the topline growth. Therefore, I feel confident that Nigeria is going to have a quite strong Q4 based on these initiatives. And let me just add that also, I expect some very exciting and strong marketing initiatives that will also start kicking in from Q4 which are done together with the Coca-Cola Company. Sanjeet Aujla Got it. And then my follow-up question is, just on media discussions around the potential sugar and plastic tax in Italy. Can you just give us your take on the sort of likelihood of implementation of either of those and potential impact on the business as you said? Zoran Bogdanovic Yes, thanks. So, indeed there is this proposal in Italy related to one plastic tax and the other part is related to sugar tax. You asked me my take so I have to say that at this point, it's really hard to speculate. We know that because the magnitude of the proposed plastic tax is sizeable and it affects quite wide the industry because it defines euro per kilo of plastic from wherever. The whole industry is in very intense discussions. It's all happening as we speak from various stakeholders who are discussing with government bodies et cetera. So I think from the proposal, I have to say it's evident that this is a pure budget gap intention or to fund. However, I think, that facts and arguments from not only beverage industry, but broader industry that in plastic which is pointing out what would be the consequences of such taxation clearly pointing out that net-net the economy would be in a low situation. So my take is that what is at the moment on the table, I would be very surprised that this ends up in such form or -- but I can't comment any further because it's really an estimate. However, let me just say that on the sugar tax which we see based on what is at the moment on the table it's half of the level of sugar tax that we've seen in Ireland. And you probably will recall from my remarks in previous calls that we have prepared very diligently and we have been fully ready in Ireland when a similar situation has happened. Our teams in Italy have already fully gained all the learnings from the approach from Ireland and we are ready for any such situation. And if you allow me, I would just highlight that if something like that happens on sugar there are many steps that we do from downsizing that we have done in Ireland, from on the existing package this can be different price between Regular Coke and Zero and Light even upsizing Zero and Light for in-and-out promos and introducing wider variety of multipacks. In last year when sugar tax was introduced in Ireland, we grew sparkling almost 4%. And this year this has continued even stronger. We are talking about mid single-digits plus. So we closely monitor. We are fully ready for whatever will come and we are actively part of wide industry on finding solutions and protecting the industry and wider economy in Italy. Thank you. Sanjeet Aujla Got it. And my final question one for my harvest perhaps just on margins. You talked about another year of good margin expansion with where currencies have evolved. Can you just update us on your margin expectations for the year please? Thank you. Michalis Imellos Yes. Hi, Sanjeet. So we are guiding to-date with small further improvement in FX. So in our previous call in August we had guided to €20 million negative impact. Now this has gone down to €15 million. It's primarily transactional effects. So that will flow effectively as a benefit to the margin. So we had also spoken since the beginning of the year for a minimum of 40 basis points margin expansion organic plus the 10 basis points benefit from the consolidation of Bambi and we absolutely stick to it. We feel very comfortable that as a minimum we can hit this 50 basis point improvement this year. Sanjeet Aujla Thank you. Operator Thank you for your question, Sanjeet. The next question comes from the line of Andrea Pistacchi from Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead. Andrea Pistacchi Hi. Good morning. My first question is this please. So you've had two quarters now below your 5% to 6% target now clearly held back by the weather. But besides the weather has there been any other factor would you say that has held you back? Any other cause for you to be below this target? Anything different from what you would have expected when you set out this medium-term guidance back in July -- back in June? Zoran Bogdanovic Hi, Andrea. In short, no. We clearly see that the weather has been the key driver because the other elements of competition or macro environment across our territories has been fairly stable. In some places, maybe there has been just a little bit slower. In some cases, we've seen a little bit higher. That's why through our thorough analysis and review, we really see that this primarily is driven by the weather conditions as we have explained. And that's why when we are now coming in a normalized period this is where everything that we do on the ground gives me personally confidence that we will see that also in our growth. Andrea Pistacchi Okay. Thanks. My second and follow-up question is one on Russia, please if you could talk a bit about the dynamics in the Russian market. I think you said you gained share in sparkling. You didn't mention juices. There hasn't been a lot of -- you haven't delivered a lot of growth this year. I appreciate the weather comps. Would you be confident that next year Russia should accelerate? Zoran Bogdanovic So, let me first start with end of your question, where I would really express my strong confidence in the plan and expectation of Russia for next year. This year, we have to acknowledge that Russia was cycling last year two strong effect; excellent summer, and we had really strong fee for activation which brought more than expected tourists, and all of that was happening in a perfect blend with a great weather. So our impact of last year was great. This year, indeed, we really had a bad summer. And probably among other countries Russia was one of the most affected. So, given that and acceleration that we see versus Q3 that will happen in Q4, I would even say that we are targeting to -- if possible to make Russia be marginally declined or even flat. Now, I did mention that we have gained share in sparkling, which is led by very strong growth of Coca-Cola Trademark that gives excellent confidence. And this is a market where we expect for many, many, many years strong growth in sparkling, but led by Trademark Coke. Also another thing that is working very well and will work even stronger is the whole Adult proposition where even in such quarter as third quarter we've been growing Adult double-digit. Juices we are gaining share in a declining category. The team has been doing excellent job not only this year but also as a continuation from last year. So in a category that unfortunately is in a declining trend, the focus on premiumization, our strategic focus on immediate consumption and single-serve packages as well as with a smarter and our effectiveness in the promos how we do them, has resulted that we have been gaining a sizable share. Similar happens in the Energy, where in a highly growing category, we are gaining share. So, I know that our Russia team has a very strong Q4 and that gives me confidence that we will spice up the momentum, for which I do expect it's going to continue in Q1 of next year and then throughout the next year. Andrea Pistacchi Thank you. Operator Thank Andrea. The next question comes from the line of Stamatis Draziotis from Eurobank Equities. Please go ahead. Stamatis Draziotis Yes. Hello there. Yeah, just one question from my side. I understand it's a bit early, but could you maybe provide us with some indication as to what do you expect for next year in terms of raw material inflation please? Thank you. Michalis Imellos Hi, Stam. Yes as you say, it's early days. We are just finalizing the plans now. So we'll give a full update in February. However, early signs are excluding the impact of coffee because obviously this year, we have had coffee in the biggest part of the year, whereas at this point in time for next year, it's not going to be so pronounced. So excluding the impact of coffee and recycling, things don't look much different to what we have seen this year. So, potentially towards a low single-digit increase, however, we'll come back as I said, in February, with a more detailed guidance. Stamatis Draziotis That's clear. Thank you so much. Operator Thank you. And the next question comes from the line of Nico von Stackelberg from Liberum. Please go ahead. Nico von Stackelberg Hi there thanks for the questions guys and good morning. Just regarding the acceleration that you've seen in Q4, could you tell me a bit more about where you see those bright spots by country please? Zoran Bogdanovic Good morning, Nico. Yes. So, I already mentioned, Nigeria, where I think, I already explained that part. Also we see that, Russia is going to do in Q4, fairly well. We also see acceleration in Poland. We also see it in Romania, Ukraine. So these are some of the largest markets. But based on also start of the Q4, I'm pleased that, I can say that overall our performance has been on a wider territory has been quite good. Nico von Stackelberg Excellent thank you. And could I get you to comment on the consensus expectations for EPS and free cash flow? So it's at €1.34 per share for 2019. And free cash flow of €527 million. I was just wondering, if you think that's achievable and just where roughly you stand on consensus. Michalis Imellos Okay. We don't give guidance on free cash flow itself. But on the EPS comparability yes, we expect to see another year of good growth, in 2019. So, yes, we are comfortable with consensus on a comparable EPS basis. Nico von Stackelberg Okay excellent and one last question just thinking a little bit about the affordability initiatives that you're doing in Nigeria. I was wondering, have you ever sold sachets or very small pack sizes and perhaps more affordable price points within PET or maybe even like sort of like juice box format like Ribena? I know there are a lot of sachets of water going around in Nigeria. And some of the more economically difficult parts of the country, I was just wondering if you can give more color around that and I just wanted to understand a little bit more about how you're approaching the affordability issue. Thanks. Zoran Bogdanovic Yeah. Thank you, Nico. That's a good question. We haven't gone there yet. It's one possibility to explore. However, what we've been doing in light exactly of what you asked is that, we've been downsizing a number of our packages across categories. We've done that in water. We've done that in also for a while in sparkling. We've done that also in juices. So we've been doing that. And that remains, let's say critical topic that we are constantly reviewing and finding new ways and solutions, whatever will help us. But the overall downsizing to keep and play at critical price points is one of our focus areas. Nico von Stackelberg Okay excellent. Thank you. Operator Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Ewan Mitchell from Barclays. Please go ahead. Ewan Mitchell Hi thank you very much for the questions. Can you just give a little bit more color as to where you might have been in emerging and developing markets had you not had the very poor weather? It feels like the guidance has been hit by the weather. I'm just trying to work out where you might have come out if it had been a more normal year. Zoran Bogdanovic Thank you, Ewan. So I mentioned in the remarks some of the countries that, for example, especially in the developing segment we've seen Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary really having the impact of the weather, which worked quite well last year. Also in the emerging Russia was the biggest market with that impact. And we've seen in the category -- overall NARTD category when we see what happened in Q3 what kind of slowdown happened versus H1, we see really a sizable deceleration. And I'm happy that we gain such situations in majority of markets we've been able to maintain or gain share. Ewan Mitchell Okay, thank you very much. And the second one on Romania and some of the other Eastern European markets where you're working on your pack prices. Can you just give a bit more color as to how Schweppes is going there in some of the more premium package sizes 1783 innovation, et cetera, the pricing that you've now got in Energy? It seems to be underlying growing very well, and any color on that would be helpful. Thank you. Zoran Bogdanovic Yes, absolutely. Schweppes is one of our key engines of growth in the countries where we have it. And particularly in these countries that you mentioned where we see that this adult segment, beauty of that is that there is such a huge value pool in the market. It also proves to be more resistant to weather conditions. And especially the markets like Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Ukraine these are all markets where we are having strong performance of Schweppes both in volume but even more in the revenues. Because what has happened over the last few years is that we have been able to push the premiumness of Schweppes versus average of Sparkling and even Coke. So it ranges between -- now between 15% to even 60% price premiumness. And that comes as a result of package changes, flavor combinations that we have introduced, very strong marketing, experiential, also activation and engagement with channels in the market, mixability efforts that we are doing across the markets. And we are also looking into 1783 in some more markets. We have started with that in Ireland and is performing very well. I'm really pleased that in the premium and even in super premium segment, we are continuously gaining share. Ewan Mitchell Thank you. And just to clarify that 15% to 60% price premium that's to sort of Trademark Coke why Schweppes is trading? Zoran Bogdanovic Yeah. That's pretty similar to the average of Sparkling. Ewan Mitchell Okay, brilliant. Zoran Bogdanovic But I would say that in average the price premium would range between 20%, 30%. Ewan Mitchell Thank you very much. Operator Thank you, Ewan. We have another question from the line of Sanjeet Aujla from Credit Suisse. Please go ahead. Sanjeet Aujla Yeah. Hi, Zoran. Just a quick follow-up on innovation really. The last couple of years, it feels like the pace of innovation across the group has really stepped up and just wanted to get your assessment of how things have gone particularly on the new product development side launching brands like FUZE, AdeZ, maybe early to comment on Coke Energy. But yes just love to get your take, some things it feels have worked, others haven't. Would love to hear your thoughts? Thanks. Zoran Bogdanovic Thanks Sanjeet. Innovation is one of our prioritized also organizational capabilities for growth. And together with Coca-Cola company we are paying huge attention, focus and investment of time behind this. And before I go into concrete details, I just want to say that I'm really pleased that the pipeline of innovation is very strong. It's a prioritized and disciplined approach to it that we are applying, because it's not that everything goes everywhere at the same time, so we are pacing ourselves as we are expanding also our capacity and capabilities. So, in Fuze, for example that you mentioned, that's very important because this year we started with our Zero variant. We have also our premium line that is also coming along the way. In AdeZ, we've also been playing with some new flavors and there is more to come next year, which makes me personally very excited about this new category to us. And just to highlight that Italy is one of the markets that really shows us the way and shows how -- with patience, but with the quality approach how we are consistently making our strides in the market in this category. Coke Energy, even though it's new, I think that's one excellent example of what this innovation does for our consumers and customers, because it's bringing in new consumers into energy category. It's leveraging very well the flagship trademark of Coca-Cola. And it's a great proposition for customers, because it helps to grow the pipe and it's also increasing the value of the category because Coke Energy trades and has a price in average of two times versus the average of the category. And I'm really pleased that by now we are already with Coke Energy in 30 markets. And based on those who started first like Hungary, Romania we already see some very, very good awareness both among, let's say, energy drinkers as well as SSD drinkers. So that's where we stand with some of these things that you asked me, but I would really highlight that the pipeline and innovation is a way we do business. And every year this is a critical part of our growth algorithm. And to summarize, while we ramp up embed and scale what we have introduced last year this year, we are also very selectively and with great lenses also choosing what are the next innovations to expand the categories, the brands, new packages, reformulations. And that's what's been driving the growth both of last year this year, and it will continue to do that in the next years. Sanjeet Aujla Got it. Thanks. Operator Thank you, Sanjeet. The next question comes from the line of Andrea Pistacchi from Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead. Andrea Pistacchi Yes. I've got a quick follow-up please. It's on bolt-on deals. You've done two bolt-ons this year. Do you have any more in the pipeline i.e. over the medium-term? Should we expect you to use your excess cash with bolt-ons? Zoran Bogdanovic Yes, Andrea. With these two bolt-on acquisitions, we did not reduce the intensity of the work that we are doing. So we are quite busy and we are exploring a number of things. So that's all I can say. And as always it has to be the strategic fit as well as the fair price for our shareholders. And that's what makes then the marriage happen. But in short, yes, we are quite busy on that and exploring a number of things. Andrea Pistacchi Thanks. Operator Thank you, Andrea. The next question comes from the line of Nico von Stackelberg from Liberum. Please go ahead. Nico von Stackelberg Hi, guys. Thanks again for the follow-up. I think that we have a pretty clear understanding of how you mitigate sugar tax increases and how you reshape the portfolio. But I was just wondering, could you give a bit more color on if the Italian plastic tax were to go through, how you plan to mitigate that? Obviously, it probably has to do a lot with the pack format and I'm just wondering how you assess that and how much capacity you have at your plants to produce a lot more glass and so forth. And just for technical, I was just wondering if you could give a comment on how many tons of plastic you produce per year? Thanks. Zoran Bogdanovic Thank you. So like clearly it's too early to say, but you already mentioned, in Italy for the last few years we've been -- glass has been one of the areas that we've been pushing and focusing behind a lot. And this type of possible taxation and I'd say possible, because really it's hard to believe that something like that could happen. However, this will only reinforce even further, how we would focus on glass both in single serve as well as also multi-serve, because we do have that as well in Italy. And good thing is that we do have capacity and capability to do this type of things. So whatever might come our way, I'm confident that we will find solution to adjust and continue our growth journey in Italy. Nico Von Stackelberg And I guess on the tons of plastic per year, is it maybe around 35,000 tons of plastic per year you produce over there? Or it's quite a big number. Zoran Bogdanovic Yes, yes. It is somewhere there like 33,000 and somewhere there, yes. Nico Von Stackelberg Okay, okay. And so again, mitigation just comes back to you assessing the pack formats. And I guess in the event that you switched over as much as you could over to glass, do you have a rough view on how that could impact profitability in light of a reduced PET sales? Zoran Bogdanovic No. Look it's glass, but also the cans. So we play with various types. However, glass is a profitable pack as well as can. So the beauty of that is that we can play a balanced portfolio. And with that I'm confident that we find a solution that is not only volume sustainable, but also economically and profitability-wise that will make sense. Nico Von Stackelberg And finally, just so I understand the potential time line of this. This is still a draft bill, right? And do you have any understanding of potential time frames of when this could develop? Zoran Bogdanovic Yes, they said that by the end of the year the budget needs to be finalized and done, which is good that I think by the end of the year we will know. In case, anything in that area happens, we estimate that such law would start with implementation sometime Q2 or by end of June. Nico Von Stackelberg Okay. Thanks so much for all the color guys. Appreciate it. Zoran Bogdanovic You're welcome. Operator Thank you. We have no further questions in the queue at the moment. [Operator Instructions] We have no further questions in the queue. So I will hand the call over to Ms. Joanna Kennedy. Joanna Kennedy Thank you for joining the call today and your questions. And as always, the rest of the IR team and I are at your disposal for any other queries that you may have. I wish you a very good day.	https://seekingalpha.com/article/4306212-coca-cola-hbc-ag-cchbf-ceo-zoran-bogdanovic-on-q3-2019-results-earnings-call-transcript?source=feed_all_articles	2022-07-10T18:58:53Z	https://seekingalpha.com/article/4306212-coca-cola-hbc-ag-cchbf-ceo-zoran-bogdanovic-on-q3-2019-results-earnings-call-transcript?source=feed_all_articles	false	1
A look at what’s happening around the majors today: ___ OH THOSE O’S! Ryan Mountcastle, Trey Mancini and the surprising Baltimore Orioles try for their eighth straight win, which would match their best streak in 17 years. The last time the O’s won eight in a row was 2005 with a team that included Rafael Palmeiro and Sammy Sosa. Dean Kremer combined with four relievers to pitch the O’s past the Angels 1-0 Saturday at Camden Yards for their seventh straight victory. That equaled Baltimore’s longest string of success since 2017. Coming off a 52-110 record, the Orioles are 42-44 and only a few games out of a wild-card spot. They’re 28-20 since a 14-24 start. Los Angeles dropped to 1-7 on a nine-game trip and at 38-48 is a season-worst 10 games under .500. The Angels are 14-35 since a 24-13 start. Orioles right-hander Austin Voth (0-1, 7.20), claimed on waivers from Washington last month, starts against lefty José Suarez (1-2, 4.30 ERA). MIAMI ACE A few hours before he’s likely to be picked for the NL All-Star team, Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (9-3, 1.82 ERA) pitches against the Mets at Citi Field. The 26-year-old Alcantara is a top contender to start for the National League on July 19 at Dodger Stadium. He struck out 10 in eight shutout innings of two-hit ball Tuesday against the Angels. THE FOUR-A’S CLUB The Oakland Athletics have gotten exactly four hits in four straight games, and have managed to win two of them. The A’s beat AL West-leading Houston 3-2 on Saturday at the Coliseum. When the game ended, the top hitter in the Oakland lineup was Ramón Laureano — with a season average of .242. Oakland’s batting average dropped to .209, on track to break the major league low of .211 set by the dead-ball era 1910 Chicago White Sox. The Athletics next face right-hander Jake Odorizzi (3-2, 4.04), who will pitch for the second time since coming off the injured list. He allowed five runs and nine hits in four innings against the Royals on Monday. A’s lefty Cole Irvin (3-6, 3.55) has one win in nine starts since coming off the injured list on May 22. DEVERS OUT All-Star third baseman Rafael Devers will sit out Sunday night when Boston finishes its four-game series against the Yankees at Fenway Park. Devers exited Friday night’s loss because of a sore back that forced him to make an early exit. Boston manager Alex Cora says the team will see how Devers is feeling on Monday. The 25-year-old Devers was selected Friday as the American League’s starting third baseman for the second straight year. Hours later, he hurt his back crashing into a side rail going for a foul ball. Devers is hitting .327 with 19 home runs and 51 RBIs. Jameson Taillon (9-2, 3.63 ERA) starts for the AL East-leading Yankees against Nick Pivetta (8-6, 3.68). FRANCO AILING Rays shortstop Wander Franco will see a doctor on Monday, two days after leaving a game because of discomfort in his right hand and wrist. The 21-year-old Franco has played just 58 games this season, slow by a quadriceps and other leg trouble. Franco is hitting .260 with five home runs and 23 RBIs. CARD-NILS Nolan Arenado and the Cardinals have gone 46 innings without scoring an earned run on a hit. The last one St. Louis got came on Nolan Gorman’s RBI single in the first inning on Tuesday at Atlanta. The Cardinals have lost seven of nine. They got just two hits in a 1-0 loss at home to Philadelphia on Saturday. Rookie right-hander Andre Pallante (2-4, 3.03 ERA) start for the Cardinals. Veteran reliever Nick Nelson (3-1, 4.17) start as an opener for the Phillies. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.wate.com/sports/ap-sports/leading-off-os-go-for-8th-win-in-row-devers-out-for-bosox/	2022-07-10T19:05:40Z	https://www.wate.com/sports/ap-sports/leading-off-os-go-for-8th-win-in-row-devers-out-for-bosox/	true	22

Catalina Island is Home to a Diverse Collection of Wildlife CATALINA ISLAND— Catalina Island, one of the eight Channel Islands off the coast of California, is home to a wider diversity of animals than any other Channel Island. Because of its large size and proximity to the mainland, Catalina has the highest diversity of any Channel Island for reptiles and amphibians, with four species of amphibians and eight species of reptiles. In addition, Catalina is also home to several endemic, introduced, and endangered species. Endemic species include the Catalina Island Fox, who were on the brink of extinction until the Catalina Island Conservancy brought the species back from the brink by establishing a captive breeding program using breeding pairs trapped in the wild, and a successful public awareness campaign. The American bison is a non-native mammal that walks the island after a herd was introduced to the grounds in 1924. The bison were brought in to for the purpose of a film and remained on the island due to high cost to remove them. The bald eagles that reside on Catalina are among the endangered species that the island hosts. According to the CDFW, although bald eagles were taken off the endangered species list, the remain endangered in California. After two decades without an eagle sighting on the island, the Conservancy first helped fund the Bald Eagle Restoration Program in 1980. A new generation of adult eagles began to lay their eggs in nests on Catalina in 1987, but the eggs all broke before hatching. The Institute for Wildlife Studies (IWS) biologists began helping the eagles by retrieving the fragile eggs, hatching them off-site in incubators, and returning healthy chicks to the nests. The parents then accepted them back and raised them. In 2007, DDT levels had finally decreased enough to allow bald eagles to hatch eggs in the wild successfully, and by 2009, all nests on Catalina were left to natural hatching and incubation. Because of the dedication of IWS and its staff, in cooperation with the Catalina Island Conservancy, Catalina-native bald eagles soar along the island’s cliffs once again. Catalina Island has at least 61 endemic species and subspecies, including eight plants, five mammals, three birds, and 45 invertebrates. According to the Catalina Island Conservancy, the island is also home to eight species of bats, 46 different species of birds, three species of butterfly, one canine, one cricket, two species of frogs, four species of lizards, nine rodent species, two salamanders, three seals and sea lions, one shrew, three snails, eight snakes, and four ungulates. Catalina Island also has the most introduced animals, partly due to the island’s larger human population. The blackbuck antelope was another species that was introduced to the island by humans. Any wildlife species that were brought to Catalina Island by people since European contact are considered non-native.	https://www.thelog.com/news-departments/catalina-island-is-home-to-a-diverse-collection-of-wildlife/	2022-07-10T19:20:52Z	https://www.thelog.com/news-departments/catalina-island-is-home-to-a-diverse-collection-of-wildlife/	true	1
India made wholesale changes to its line up especially in their bowling. They dropped the likes of Hardik Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar and brought in rookies like Umran Malik, Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi for the third T20I match against England at Trent bridge. Although, it did make India’s bowling attack look weak on papers, it excited some of the Indian fans who wanted to see Umran Malik in action against the likes of Jos Buttler and Jason Roy. Former India pacer Zaheer Khan was among them and said that Malik must stick to his strengths. “You have to use the strengths that put you here in the first place. Everyone took notice of him (Umran Malik) because he was running in hard and bowling quickly. And he was hurrying the batters, so has to stick with it. Look at these three stumps, run in as hard as possible, bowl in as hard as possible,” said Zaheer when asked about giving tip to the young pacer. Meanwhile he added that Bhuvneshwar Kumar should have played as he was in good form in the first two games. His classic in-swinging delivery to Jos Buttler had already gone viral on social media. “I still felt Bhuvneshwar Kumar could have continued because he was in good nick. He is someone who couldn’t have been consistent due to injury issues. He is not been playing consistently so game time for him could have been big,” Zaheer added. Also Read: ‘Would Have Played Deepak Hooda Over Shreyas Iyer If I Was Captain’-Former India Pacer Furthermore, former England skipper Michael Vaughan also criticized Indian team management for making so many changes. He added that players like Bhuvi and Hardik Pandya should have been played as they were in good form. “Jason Roy and Jos Buttler can breath easy when they come out to bat today as they don’t have to face Bhuvneshwar Kumar. I am surprised they have gone with so many changes. As a player’s perspective, you wanna play, you want to be in form. Bhuvi is in form, Hardik is in form. If Hardik has some issue with his body, then it is a different conversation. I would never do that. I am really looking forward to Umran Malik, but I really don’t like all this tinkering in modern game,” he told Cricbuzz.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot is returning to prime time with a Thursday evening hearing that will examine the three-hour plus stretch when Donald Trump failed to act as a mob of supporters stormed the Capitol. The committee is racing to gather newly emerging evidence and the session could be the final one in a series of public hearings that began in early June. A lawyer for former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, who faces criminal charges after months of defying a congressional subpoena, told the committee over the weekend that Bannon may now be willing to testify, according to committee members. “I expect that we will be hearing from him and there are many questions that we have for him,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. She and other committee members said they intend to have Bannon sit for a private interview, typically done in a deposition with sworn testimony. Thursday’s hearing will be the first in the prime-time slot since the June 9 debut that was viewed by 20 million people. A hearing Tuesday will focus on the plotting and planning of the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, by white nationalist groups such as the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters, and will also highlight testimony taken Friday from former White House counsel Pat Cipollone. Investigators are digging deeper into the mounds of evidence collected so far about the role extremist groups played in the deadly insurrection and what the former president was doing as the violence ensued down the street from the White House. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., who will lead Thursday’s hearing with Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., described the upcoming testimony as key to providing an extensive timeline of what Trump did and did not do in those critical hours on the afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021. That includes Trump’s tweet criticizing Vice President Mike Pence for lacking “courage” as angry protesters outside the Capitol were heard chanting “Hang Mike Pence” for not challenging Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. “We want to show the American people what was the president doing during that time,” Kinzinger said Sunday. “The rest of the country knew that there was an insurrection. The president obviously had to have known there was an insurrection. So where was he? What was he doing? It’s a very important hearing. Pay attention. Because I think it goes to the heart of what is the oath of a leader.” News of the hearing comes as Congress returns to Washington after a two-week recess. Lawmakers on the committee had indicated in mid-June there would be no more hearings until July, but in late June they held a surprise hearing for the testimony of former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. Her explosive testimony provided the most compelling evidence yet that Trump could be linked to a federal crime. Since then, the committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans has seen an influx of new information and confidential tips. Tuesday’s hearing will explore efforts to assemble the mob on the National Mall and then organize the march down Pennsylvania Avenue, where some rioters — armed with pipes, bats and bear spray — charged into the Capitol, quickly overrunning the overwhelmed police force. More than 100 police officers were injured, many beaten, bloodied and bruised, that day. It will also highlight a meeting on Dec. 18, 2020 at the White House in which former Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, onetime Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and others floated the idea of seizing voting machines and invoking national security emergency powers, to the heated objection of several White House lawyers who argued that Trump needed to accept his defeat, according to Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who will lead Tuesday’s hearing. “We’re gonna get to use a lot of Mr. Cipollone’s testimony,” he said. “He was aware of every major move, I think, that Donald Trump was making to try to overthrow the 2020 election and essentially seize the presidency.” Lawmakers also plan on examining the financing of the various rallies and gatherings around Washington that were planned that day. Bannon’s apparent turnabout in testifying comes as he faces a criminal trial this month on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying the committee’s subpoena. He has argued that his testimony is protected by Trump’s claim of executive privilege, a claim the committee has countered as dubious because Trump had fired Bannon from the White House in 2017 and Bannon was thus a private citizen when he was consulting with Trump in the run-up to the riot. Bannon has expressed preference for a public hearing, but committee members on Sunday demurred. “The way that we have treated every single witness is the same, that they come in, they talk to the committee there,” Raskin said. “If they’re going to take a deposition, they’re sworn under oath. It’s videotaped. It’s recorded, and then we take it from there.” The committee says it wants to hear from Bannon because he “had specific knowledge about the events planned for Jan. 6 before they occurred.” It cited as an example comments that he made on his podcast the day before the riot. “It’s not going to happen like you think it’s going to happen. OK, it’s going to be quite extraordinarily different. All I can say is strap in,” Bannon said in that podcast. “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow. … So many people said, ‘Man, if I was in a revolution, I would be in Washington.’ Well, this is your time in history.” Kinzinger spoke on ABC’s “This Week, Lofgren was on CNN’s “State of the Union,” and Raskin appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” ___ Associated Press writer Hannah Fingerhut in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, contributed to this report.	https://www.abc27.com/news/us-world/politics/jan-6-panel-sets-prime-time-hearing-on-trump-awaits-bannon/	2022-07-10T19:24:35Z	https://www.abc27.com/news/us-world/politics/jan-6-panel-sets-prime-time-hearing-on-trump-awaits-bannon/	false	23
JERUSALEM (AP) — The leaders of two parties in Israel's outgoing government coalition announced Sunday that they would run as political partners in the upcoming parliamentary elections. The announcement by Gideon Saar and Benny Gantz was the first shift in Israel's political landscape since the Knesset voted to dissolve itself June 30 and send the country back to the polls to elect a new parliament. Israel will hold its fifth elections in under four years in November after the government headed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett collapsed last month. The previous four elections were largely referendums on longtime leader Benjamin Netanyahu's fitness to serve as prime minister while under indictment for corruption. Gantz, a former army chief of staff, heads the centrist Blue and White party and serves as Israel's defense minister. Saar is a former member of the once-dominant Likud party who broke ranks and formed his hawkish New Hope party. He is currently justice minister. Both were key members of the alliance of eight diverse parties that joined forces last year to oust Netanyahu after 12 years in office. Gantz said that the two parties were joining forces in order to provide voters with a strong centrist option to help end the country’s protracted political crisis. “Today, we are laying the foundation of the next government,” he said. Saar said the aim was to break the political deadlock and form “a broad national unity government that is not dependent upon the fringes.” He said that Gantz was best suited to lead as prime minister.	https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Israeli-ministers-to-run-as-partners-in-upcoming-17295673.php	2022-07-10T19:34:57Z	https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Israeli-ministers-to-run-as-partners-in-upcoming-17295673.php	false	24

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate CHICAGO (AP) — A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and the rest of the WNBA All-Stars lined up along the sideline after halftime, the No. 42 and the name Griner on the back of all of their jerseys. Brittney Griner was everywhere Sunday, everywhere except where the league's best players felt she should be — playing alongside in the marquee WNBA All-Star Game, in which Team Wilson pulled away from Team Stewart for a 134-112 victory. Griner is in Russia, where she's been detained since February after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage. The eight-time All-Star pleaded guilty Thursday to drug possession charges that could see a sentence of to up to 10 years in prison. While advocating for Griner's release, the WNBA also honored Sue Bird and Sylvia Fowles in the final All-Star Game for both of the retiring players. Fowles had the day's biggest highlight, picking up a steal and slamming down a dunk for Team Wilson with 4:04 left in the first half. Bird received a huge ovation when she checked out with 2:10 left, and acknowledged the cheers with a wave. Las Vegas aces guard Kelsey Plum was named MVP after she scored 30 points for Team Wilson in her first All-Star appearance. Sabrina Ionescu had 15, and Chicago Sky forward Candace Parker finished with 15 points and eight rebounds in her hometown. Jonquel Jones, the reigning WNBA MVP who plays for the Connecticut Sun, had 29 points and 13 rebounds for Team Stewart. Just before the second half, when the players wore Griner's name and No. 42 on the back of their jerseys, Ionescu and Courtney Vandersloot hugged Cherelle Griner, Brittney's wife. “We're thinking of Brittney Griner at this time,” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said. “She remains a huge priority for us, continues to have our full support. Fully focused on getting her home safely and as soon as possible.” It was the first WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago, home of the defending champion Sky. The league landed in the Windy City at perhaps its strongest position since it began play in 1997. Viewership is up, some major corporate partners have signed on and a wave of promising young stars like Wilson, Ionescu and Plum are moving to the forefront. Engelbert announced this year's WNBA Finals teams will travel on charter flights, and the league is increasing its postseason bonus pools by almost 50% to $500,000. Next season will be extended to 40 games, up from 36 this year, and Engelbert said the league has been meeting with potential ownership groups for expansion teams. “We continue to work really hard on the transformation of the business to improve the player experience,” Engelbert said. ___ Jay Cohen can be reached at https://twitter.com/jcohenap ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.lmtonline.com/sports/article/Griner-s-name-permeates-WNBA-All-Star-Game-Team-17295698.php	2022-07-10T19:38:52Z	https://www.lmtonline.com/sports/article/Griner-s-name-permeates-WNBA-All-Star-Game-Team-17295698.php	true	21

[Episcopal News Service – Baltimore, Maryland] The General Convention is holding its own against COVID, according to official reports. Dr. Rodney Coldren told the House of Deputies during the July 10 morning session that seven deputies had tested positive before that session. Coldren had reported the day before that a total of eight deputies had tested positive, as had two family members and at least one or more volunteers. “So, while cases are rising, they are not explosively rising,” he said July 10. “We will continue to watch and be mindful.” No bishops testing positive since arriving in Baltimore, according to Amanda Skofstad, The Episcopal Church’s public affairs officer. About 1,200 are attending this General Convention, and all have been asked to conduct rapid tests in their hotel rooms each morning. Deputies also have been asked to contact Coldren directly if they test positive. All participants received five COVID tests the day they registered at the Baltimore Convention Center. House of Deputies News TikToker Sophie Kitch-Peck is among those who tested positive. Bad news #gc80, I have tested positive this morning. I feel fine, and am asymptomatic. If I have interviewed you in the past couple of days, please be sure to be extremely careful and absolutely test tomorrow morning as it will have been two days since you’ve seen me. — Sophie From The TikToks (@sophiekitchpeck) July 10, 2022 Coldren asked deputies to keep track of those colleagues who had tested positive and are now isolating in their hotel rooms, noting that convention will end before their isolation does. “You all will be going home and abandoning them into the wilds of their hotel rooms,” he said. “There are volunteers here who will assist them, but you need to make sure they have reached out and made that connection.” Some convention attendees have reported getting invalid results on their daily COVID tests. Coldren said if test does not show the “control line” and, thus, comes up as invalid, testers should not assume either they are negative or positive. They must retest, and he said convention staff was working to make extra tests available to make up for the invalid ones. In other news I brought a tab collar shirt but no collar so I folded up the lid of this morning’s Covid test box #gc80 https://t.co/DS99884iyO pic.twitter.com/lAukZ1ww1b — Rev. Miranda (@revmirandah) July 10, 2022 On July 9, Coldren urged the deputies to follow the convention’s COVID recommendations and rules which, he said, were not enacted to protect people who feel comfortable with COVID. “They’re there to protect those who are immunosuppressed and those who just plain do not want to get your COVID,” he said. He told deputies that he saw several of them in hotels bars the evening of July 8. “That is their personal choice. That could be your personal choice and I respect that, he said. “Do not, please, take away somebody else’s personal choice by failing to follow the guidelines here.” He also urged people to not assume that they do not have COVID if they are experiencing cold symptoms but test negative. “You can be spreading the disease and test negative for a day or two,” he said. “Please do not make the mistake of thinking that it’s just a cold” because in the time of COVID what one thinks is a cold can very well be COVID. The Rev. Gay Clark Jennings, House of Deputies president, also referenced the care and help available for deputies and alternates who test positive. Pastoral caregivers are available as are other volunteers to lend practical support such as delivering medicine and food. The House of Deputies has also set up a “mutual aid fund” to help cover the additional costs of testing positive while in Baltimore, such as airline ticket changes and extra nights in hotels during isolation. Jennings thanked those who have contributed to the fund. “Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ,” she said. “If you need assistance in any of these ways, please reach out. People and funds are waiting and willing to assist you.” Coldren, a public health expert hired to advise Jennings with $50,000 approved by Executive Council, recently retired after 30 years with the U.S. Army, where he led its COVID-19 response in Europe and Africa. – The Rev. Mary Frances Schjonberg retired in July 2019 as senior editor and reporter for Episcopal News Service.	https://www.episcopalnewsservice.org/2022/07/10/covid-cases-tick-up-at-gc80-but-not-explosively/	2022-07-10T20:10:18Z	https://www.episcopalnewsservice.org/2022/07/10/covid-cases-tick-up-at-gc80-but-not-explosively/	true	1
[Film Room] JD Davison's Mostly Positive Summer League Debut July 9, 2022, is a day JD Davison will never forget. He officially signed his two-way contract with the Celtics, then played in his first professional basketball game. By no means was it a perfect performance, as illustrated below, but there were a lot of positives from Davison's debut. In Boston's 88-78 loss to the Heat, he finished with ten points on 3/11 shooting, dished out six assists, grabbed six rebounds, registered three blocks, two steals, and only one turnover. In the play below, Javonte Smart's gamble, going for a steal, creates an express lane for Davison to attack downhill and get into the paint. Trevion Williams wisely slow plays his way to the basket for the sake of spacing. Davison throttles down as he gets into the paint, maintaining control, holding the attention of two Miami defenders, then jumping at them, forcing the duo to engage, and the second-round pick from Alabama lofts a floater over them to Williams for the dunk. In his lone collegiate season, Davison shot 30.1 percent on 2.5 three-point attempts per game, but on Saturday, he went 2/5 from beyond the arc, knocking down 40 percent of his long-range field goals. He also represented himself well on the defensive end. Here, after a Celtics turnover, it's on Davison to pick up the player with the ball, Kyle Allman Jr., in transition. Davison and Juhann Begarin do a nice job communicating that, and the former gets square with Allman, slowly retreating, not conceding much real estate. He stays low, gets his arms out, keeps moving his feet, his eyes are locked-in on the ball, and when Allman tries to bring it back up to go for a layup, Davison strips it, and the ball goes out of bounds off Allman's chest. The next play is a mixed bag. First, Davison does well to stay with Smart as he flares out to the left wing. He goes under an Orlando Robinson screen and in front of Mfiondu Kabengele, getting back to Smart before he even shows much interest in attempting a three. Davison and Begarin then force Smart to give the ball up without having created anything productive. And for the cherry on top of a terrific defensive sequence by Davison, he doesn't just contest the pass to the screener, Haywood Highsmith, but he picks it off. Unfortunately, as seen above, at the other end, Davison blows the layup. He went 1/5 in the restricted area on Saturday. The former Crimson Tide guard was pretty good finishing at the rim in college, so hopefully, this is an anomaly. While Davison's abilities as a finisher weren't reflected accurately in his Summer League debut, his explosiveness and ability to get into the paint consistently were. Here, when Highsmith recovers, he's shading Davison towards help defender Marcus Garrett. But rather than playing into Highsmith's hand, the Celtics' rookie snaps a crossover dribble that creates considerable distance between the two. He then engages Bryson Williams, again leaping towards a Miami center before dishing to Trevion Williams, who gets two points inside the restricted area. Late in the game, Davison finally got an attempt at the rim to go down. He patiently lets his defender, Mychal Mulder, make the first move. When Mulder lunges to fight over the screen, Davison rejects the pick and crosses by Robinson, getting into the paint. He then maintains separation without jumping too far from the hoop and finishes with a soft touch. Unfortunately, you can see he came up hobbling after the layup, and he then committed a take foul and subbed out, but Davison spoke after the game and didn't express any concern. Hopefully, Davison can build off Saturday's performance in the Celtics' next matchup, which is Monday against the Bucks at 8:00 p.m. ET. In the meantime, you can see more of Davison's Summer League debut below, courtesy of Tomasz Kordylewski.

The diligent maintenance workers, frenetic ball boys, and bewilderingly patient chair umpires can breathe a collective sigh of relief. The third Grand Slam of the tennis calendar has wrapped up from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. A familiar champion and legend is back hoisting a trophy he has held dearly for years, while a new face of tennis won her first ever major. Here are five things we learned from the Wimbledon Championships: Novak remains untouchable on grass, closes grand slam gap He is back in the winner’s circle. Frankly, it didn’t take all too long. Serbia’s Novak Djokovic captured his seventh career Wimbledon crown and 21st major overall as he defeated first-time finalist Nick Kyrgios to win the men’s singles crown. It’s his first slam of the season and could prove particularly critical if he is unable to compete in New York at the U.S. Open. Djokovic has endured a tumultuous 2022 for his lofty standards. He missed out on his most dominant slam in Australia and was the butt of ridicule and jokes as he was barred from competing in Melbourne due to his vaccination status and ultimately deported. His lack of matches and tournament play allowed his world no. 1 ranking to slip away, as Daniil Medvedev took hold of it in February. He then failed to defend his French Open crown from last season, bowing out to his rival Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. A visit to the All England Club would put his season on track. After a strong first week of tennis, dropping only one set, Djokovic found himself on the brink of defeat in the quarterfinals, trailing talented young Italian Jannik Sinner two sets to love. The great champion was unnerved by the lopsided scoreline as he buckled down, reduced his unforced errors, and elevated his defensive play to storm back for a 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory. The match also featured the shot of the tournament: Djokovic would then rally from a set down in the semis and dismiss British crowd favourite Cameron Norrie. While pundits anticipated a possible showdown with Rafael Nadal, it was instead Australian bad boy Nick Kyrgios in the championship match, as Rafa pulled out of the field with an abdominal injury. Djokovic weathered an early storm from the huge serving Aussie, and after staving off three break points at 5-3, 0-40 in the second set, he had full control of affairs. Djokovic would win in a tidy four sets and has now extended his match winning streak at the All England Club to 28. He’s officially surpassed the legendary Roger Federer in the grand slam tally, and rests just one behind Rafael Nadal for most men’s singles majors all time. This title also ties Djokovic with Pete Sampras for second most Wimbledon titles ever amongst men’s players. Him and Nadal have now combined to win 15 of the last 17 major titles since 2018. Rafael Nadal was stopped by his toughest opponent – his body He is one of the greatest tennis champions in the history of the sport, and incredibly, he has achieved so many records and accolades despite his consistently ailing body. Rafael Nadal, who was on a quest to win the 2022 calendar slam and capture all four majors, had to pull the plug on his Wimbledon run ahead of the semifinals, after suffering a seven-millimetre abdominal muscle tear. The injury noticeably affected the Spaniard in a thrilling quarterfinal match against Taylor Fritz, as Nadal was serving at a significantly reduced speed, and was often seen wincing in pain between points. Somehow, despite his pain, Nadal rallied for an enthralling 3-6, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(4) win over Fritz in a four-hour, 21-minute epic. After mulling it over for hours, Nadal decided it wasn’t worth risking further injury and withdrew from the tournament ahead of his semi-final against Nick Kyrgios. Nadal is no stranger to injuries, which are as much a part of his history in this sports as the achievements. The Spaniard has missed 12 separate majors in his career due to injuries, while he’s had to pull out or withdraw from five others. Nadal is now anticipating a three-to-four-week recovery from the abdominal injury as he hopes to get fit for the summer hard court season and the U.S. Open. A new major champion in Rybakina – a victory for introverts everywhere? She is soft spoken on and off the court, rarely expressing much emotion in even the most crucial junctures of a tennis match. Don’t question it because she’s also a Grand Slam champion. Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina stunned favourite Ons Jabeur of Tunisia with an impressive 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 victory to become the latest major champion at Wimbledon, a victory that capped off a brilliantly level-headed and highly skilled two weeks at the All England Club. Rybakina has a game that’s tailor-made for the grass courts. She has a booming first serve which she can spot precisely, a powerful forehand and a wide strike zone, and she’s surprisingly agile and quick even given her six-foot frame. She gained momentum early in the event when she decisively defeated Mississauga’ Bianca Andreescu 6-4, 7-6 and would steadily build more confidence from there. After solid victories over Petra Martic and Ajla Tomjlanovic, she was in imperious form in the semifinals, defeating veteran and 2019 Wimbledon champion Simona Halep 6-3, 6-3. Rybakina’s mental fortitude shone through in the finals against Jabeur, as she quickly regrouped after dropping the first set, and decisively held her nerve in the critical juncture of the third. Jabeur was making a charge, but Rybakina thwarted three break point chances from 0-40 down at 3-2 to get a crucial hold of serve. She would coast to victory from there. Although her match point celebration was low on electricity, an outpouring of emotion came in press afterwards. The 23-year-old is still a relative unknown amongst the more casual followers of the sport. Canadian fans will have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with her in August at the National Bank Open in Toronto. Norrie emerges as a new British hopeful In 2013, Andy Murray ended a 76-year long draught for Britain, becoming the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry’s triumph in 1936. Murray would add another tally in 2016, soared to world no. 1, and has been an exemplary champion and ambassador in the sport for years. While the 35-year-old, despite a metal hip, is still competing on tour, he is no longer making runs at majors. Usher in Cameron Isaiah Norrie, a consummate professional who has promptly risen up the rankings in the last year and a half. The 26-year-old notched his first career ATP title back in July of 2021, hoisted the Indian Wells crown last October, and has added two additional trophies and a final to his resume this season. He leapt nearly 50 spots in the rankings from 2020 to 2021, reaching world no. 12, and even competed at the ATP Finals. As the top ranked British number one, he also proved his penchant for the grass at Wimbledon. The savvy left hander played his best match of the event in overcoming veteran David Goffin 3-6, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 to advance to his first career major semi-final. He then put up a valiant challenge against Djokovic, winning the first set before ultimately succumbing to the great champion in four competitive sets. Britain will now be leaning on Norrie and last year’s US Open champion Emma Raducanu to lead the charge in the sport. Raducanu won her opening match before falling to France’s Caroline Garcia 6-3, 6-3 in the second round. Russians and Belarusians MIA, big names also fall It was the most contentious talking point of Wimbledon 2022 – the absence of Russian and Belarusian tennis players from the event. Competitors from the two countries were barred from competition by organizers as Wimbledon and the UK government opted to take a political stance against Vladimir Putin’s ruthless regime and its invasion of Ukraine. The absence did leave a void in both fields of competition as star players such as Daniil Medvedev, Aryna Sabalenka, Victoria Azarenka, Andrey Rublev, and Karen Khachanov (to name a few) were all sidelined from the event. Furthermore, several household names and highly ranked players bowed out early. World no. 4 Stefanos Tstsipas was unable to solve the enigma that is Nick Kyrgios, losing in four sets in a contentious third round match. Felix Auger-Aliassime, Canada’s top ranked singles player, was dismissed in the opening round by American Maxime Cressy. Proficient grass-court competitor and early contender Hubert Hurkacz faltered in his first-round encounter, losing to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. World no. 2 Anett Kontaveit continues to struggle on the grand slam stage, as she had a second-round exit. 2017 champion Garbine Muguruza lost in her first match, while Greece’s Maria Sakkari was stopped in the third round. Lastly, 23-time major champion Serena Williams, who rightfully took Centre Court to a thunderous ovation, lost her first singles match of the year, going out in the opening round to France’s Harmony Tan 7-5, 1-7, 7-6. One can only hope Williams is able to make another return to the All England Club, as the chances are waning at her age of 40. For Canadian fans of tennis, fingers will be crossed that she makes an appearance at the National Bank Open.	https://www.sportsnet.ca/tennis/article/five-things-we-learned-from-wimbledon-2022/	2022-07-10T20:27:43Z	https://www.sportsnet.ca/tennis/article/five-things-we-learned-from-wimbledon-2022/	false	1

PARIS — The right to abortion in France hardly seems under threat — it’s been inscribed in law for 47 years and enjoys broad support across the political spectrum. But more and more French women are asking: Could what happened in the U.S. happen here one day? The decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to strip women of the right to abortion has reverberated across Europe’s political landscape, forcing the issue back into public debate in France at a time of political upheaval. With women increasingly taking leadership positions in French politics, lawmakers in both houses of parliament have proposed four bills to enshrine the right to abortion in the French Constitution in order to defend it from future threats. The most notable initiative comes from President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance. His detractors on the left say Macron’s party is being opportunist, while far-right critics accuse it of using the issue to distract from more pressing matters. Abortion in France was decriminalized under a 1975 law named for Simone Veil, a prominent legislator, former health minister and key feminist who championed it. “This right was fought for and was inalienable,” said Yaël Braun-Pivet, the first woman elected speaker of the National Assembly, France’s most powerful house of parliament. In her first address to the chamber last week, Braun-Pivet made the inscription of abortion rights into the French Constitution a top priority. “It is my conviction as a woman today that we need to be the watchdog so that it stays in place forever,” Braun-Pivet said. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne also expressed concerns over the potential effects of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on recent efforts to recriminalize abortion in Europe. Borne, only the second woman in French history to have been appointed prime minister, called the reversal of abortion rights in the U.S. a “historical turn in the wrong direction.“ “It’s a stark warning that women’s rights should never be taken for granted,” Borne said last week after meeting health care providers and reproductive health specialists in Paris. She called for inscribing these rights into the French Constitution and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The European Union’s parliament adopted a resolution Thursday condemning the U.S. decision and urging the addition of a sentence reading “Everyone has a right to safe and legal abortion” to the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights. Abortion is legal and practiced without much political opposition in most EU nations, but is banned in Malta and sharply restricted in Poland. In France, a poll this week found a solid majority of respondents support the right to abortion, even including most voters who support Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally party and the conservative Republicans. The results were consistent with past surveys. However the effort to inscribe abortion rights in the French Constitution may not succeed if Macron’s political rivals decide they don’t want to give him an easy win. Macron’s party lost its majority in the National Assembly in last month’s election, while the leftist Nupes coalition became the biggest opposition force and Le Pen’s National Rally won a record number of seats. “The right to abortion is not questioned by anyone,” Le Pen said on France-Info radio last week. Still, she blasted efforts to cement abortion rights in the constitution, accusing Macron’s allies of “political diversion.” “They want to shift the focus from the main concerns for French people, which are purchasing power, security and out-of-control immigration,” Le Pen said. On the far left, lawmakers noted that Macron’s party dismissed earlier efforts to enshrine abortion in the constitution. Mathilde Panot, leader of the hard-left France Unbowed parliamentary group, is now pushing Borne to propose a government bill on the issue instead of a bill that originated in parliament, which would speed up the process. Last year, French lawmakers passed a law extending the abortion deadline from 12 to 14 weeks and allowing midwives to perform the procedure. Feminist activists marched last weekend in Paris to show solidarity with American women and support French efforts to seek constitutional guarantees. “People think that women will always have this right but considering the rise of conservative political and religious movements, we have our doubts,” said Violaine De Filippis, a Parisian lawyer and feminist activist who joined the march. Some experts say Macron’s lawmakers are being alarmist. Anne Levade, a public law professor at La Sorbonne University, said in a blog post that “clearly, there is no risk in France that abortion rights would ever be challenged, like they were in the U.S.” But Mathilde Philip-Gay, a law professor and specialist in French and American constitutional law, said France’s Constitutional Court could also be influenced by politics if groups craft a long-term strategy to end the right to abortion. “It is not on the agenda right now, but in 10 or 12 years, French judges could do the same thing that judges of the Supreme Court did,” Philip-Gay said. An inscription into France’s constitution “could make it harder for abortion opponents to challenge these rights, but it couldn’t prevent them from doing it in the long run.”	https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/french-women-push-cement-abortion-rights-united-states-ruling-rcna37537	2022-07-10T20:43:43Z	https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/french-women-push-cement-abortion-rights-united-states-ruling-rcna37537	true	29

Love Island fans were quick to spot that Jacques O'Neill was donning some dark-hued boxers during Sunday night's show - following skid-gate. Jacques was seen wearing light-coloured boxers with a "s**y" mark on them last week, which left fans taken aback and totally grossed out. During the Casa Amor antics, the Cumbrian lad decided to parade around the bedroom in a pair of very tight boxers and fans spotted a weird mark. READ NEXT: Love Island's Jazmine brands Luca Bish 'the most genuine boy' in heartfelt admission But tonight (July 10) he donned a pair of dark boxers, which led to fans thinking that producers might have had a quiet word with him. "I think the producers asked Jacques to wear darker boxers," penned one fan on Twitter. Another went on to say: "Jacques wearing black boxers today.. did someone in the villa tell him?" "The producers must have told Jacques that his shitty boxers have gone viral, because he's wearing black now," speculated a third person. While a fourth harshly said: "Jacques switching to black boxers so no one can see his st stains." Last week when viewers spotted a brown stain on Jacques' light-hued boxers, fans went wild on social media. “IM CRYING JAQUES HAS POO ON HIS PANTS,” screamed one viewer. “Jacques hun what’s on your pants???” another asked. And a third quipped: “Please tell me everyone else noticed Jacques’s shiy skid marks on his boxers. Shiy bloke… shi**y pants." This comes as Jacques tries to make it up to love interest Paige Thorne, after kissing Casa Amor bombshell Cheyanne Kerr. In Sunday night's episode he could be seen writing a sweet note for the Welsh paramedic on a square of kitchen roll, with a pink lipstick.

Some private and Catholic schools are employing casual relief teachers full-time amid a continuing struggle across the sector to fill staffing gaps caused by COVID -19 and the flu. Term 3 begins on Monday, though some private schools resume next week. University of Melbourne professor Nancy Baxter expected the return to school would drive transmissions, as Australia’s chief health officers say without increased community and public health actions, and with new COVID-19 BA.4 and BA. 5 sub variants, cases could rise as high as they did in January. “I don’t think it’s going to be better [than term 2] in fact, I think it’s going to be worse,” Baxter said. “I think people should prepare themselves for there being closures and [teacher] shortages.” Penola Catholic College principal Chris Caldow said the school would normally rely on agencies, but due to shortages, they employed seven casual relief teachers (CRTs), to keep classes running. “We employed them on a full-time basis, so they have regular ongoing work with us so that’s allowed us to have a regular higher bank of CRTs than we normally have,” he said. About 20 per cent of both year nine and year 10 students were away for a three-week period last term due to the flu and COVID, he said. “It seems to have ramped up a bit now, but we’ll find out on Monday I suppose,” he said. David Brear, deputy general secretary of the Independent Education Union for non-government schools in Victoria said schools were hit hard in term 2 by student and staff absences, and he expects no less for term 3. Some schools were preparing to schedule home learning days into the new term to cope with teacher shortages, he said. “As a circuit breaker, some schools last term scheduled particular year levels for home learning and some have indicated that this will continue in Term 3,” he said. He said one inner-city girls’ secondary school was starting term 3 with three staff vacancies it couldn’t fill - and the problem was worse in some outer metropolitan and regional areas. Casey Grammar Principal Fiona Williams said she was “hugely anxious” about term 3 and every school was experiencing the staffing squeeze. “No one knows they have COVID until they’ve woken up that morning - it’s the lack of time to prepare and make sure the school can, in fact, operate,” she said. “At short notice, we may have to ask children to stay at home and I understand the repercussions of that for families.” She said staff were burnt out from remote teaching and had the added pressure of juggling challenging student behaviour, including anxiety or delayed development of social skills. People were “not giving notice and literally walking away”, sending resignations via email. “I’m terribly worried what the future holds for teaching,” she said. “I’m terribly worried what the future holds for teaching full stop,” she said. She was also concerned for the students. “It’s heartbreaking when Year 9s say to you, ‘I’ve forgotten how to make friends’.” Roman Catholic independent school for boys, Whitefriars College principal Mark Murphy said they had used the school break to prepare for absences. They had a number of relief teachers on staff. “They are known to the students, we are blessed to have that. I know some schools don’t have access to CRTs,” he said. He said the last thing they wanted to do was collapse classes or go back to home learning. “We will do everything in our power to stop that happening,” he said. Chatham Primary School principal Chris Cotching said he was struggling to get casual relief teachers, had little extra funding for them. He was also was struggling to fill job vacancies - one of which was advertised three times and garnered little interest. “I’m worried about next term. I rely on four retired people they are great, but they are filling jobs that are extended leave - I have staff who are ill - when I get sick people I’m really going to be in trouble.” “This COVID stuff is cumulative on people, we are seeing the impacts on mental health. It’ll be similar in other schools I’m sure. The schools that will be OK will have money in reserve,” he said. Victorian Principals Association president Andrew Dalgleish said principals would probably be back in classrooms again. “We’re doing everything we can to get through it. We’re asking kids to stay home if they have COVID-19 or the flu,” he said. On Friday, Education Minister Natalie Hutchins announced mainstream schools and early childhood services would get three packs of five RATs for every staff member and student per term and six packs of five for those in specialist settings. Melbourne University professor of education Larissa McLean Davies said “we are far from out of the woods”. “It seems we have a commitment now to no more lockdowns,” she said “That of course means there are other challenges that come into play.“ The Morning Edition newsletter is our guide to the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.

Carlyle sees coming boom in consumption as brands take hold 3 min read . 12:36 AM ISTConsumers are undergoing a secular shift in India from unbranded to branded products, Jain said Consumers are undergoing a secular shift in India from unbranded to branded products, Jain said MUMBAI :India presents tremendous growth opportunities in consumer-focused businesses and global private equity investor Carlyle is seeking to cash in on the emerging trend, said Amit Jain, managing director and co-head, Carlyle India Advisors, in an interview. MUMBAI :India presents tremendous growth opportunities in consumer-focused businesses and global private equity investor Carlyle is seeking to cash in on the emerging trend, said Amit Jain, managing director and co-head, Carlyle India Advisors, in an interview. Carlyle recently picked up a significant minority stake in tiles and bathware maker Varmora Granito Pvt. Ltd. Established in 1994, Varmora’s portfolio includes premium tiles, faucets and sanitaryware, and its products are sold through a distribution network of over 200 exclusive brand outlets in India and globally. Carlyle recently picked up a significant minority stake in tiles and bathware maker Varmora Granito Pvt. Ltd. Established in 1994, Varmora’s portfolio includes premium tiles, faucets and sanitaryware, and its products are sold through a distribution network of over 200 exclusive brand outlets in India and globally. “If you look at (our investments in) SBI Cards, which is consumer and financial services, or Delhivery and Medanta which is consumer and healthcare, we have done a series of investments in India and Asia on the growing consumerism theme," Jain added. Consumers are undergoing a secular shift in India from unbranded to branded products, he said. “When you look at the emerging markets, and where India is on its per capita income, we believe inflection points happen in the way consumers consume—whether it’s food, apparel or the way they build their houses and invest in property. What happens at these income levels is there is a fundamental shift from the undifferentiated, unbranded products to high quality, differentiated, if not customized, products which are often associated with brands. You see a secular shift from the unorganized unbranded to organized branded." With its investment in Varmora, Carlyle is betting on the transformation of the building materials sector from unorganized to organized, as consumers seek to spend more money on high quality products. “50% of the market is unorganized. Over 50% of flooring in households is still traditional materials or cement, and not modern flooring solutions such as tiles, wooden flooring or marble. We like tiles as a big category for flooring solutions." “When we worked on Varmora, a few things stood out. One is the brand and the differentiated product which has created a strong customer pull. They have 200 EBOs (exclusive brand outlets), where customers walk in specifically to buy a Varmora product. In tier II-III cities, there are dealers lining up for an EBO of Varmora that signifies the brand pull," Jain said. The investment by Carlyle will help the company accelerate digital transformation, distribution, enhance the brand and build capacity organically through greenfield expansion and also through mergers and acquisitions. “Our inclination is to have M&As where we can add capability and not capacity. In a consumer business, capacity is not of that much relevance, it’s more about consumer pull, the product capability, brand and distribution network. If there are niches where there is product differentiation, if there is a brand that has a much higher recognition than ours in certain pockets or states and there is complementarity and synergy, those are the acquisitions we will look at," said Jain. Varmora is planning to grow its top line to ₹1,600 crore this fiscal year, Bhavesh Varmora, chairman, Varmora Granito, said. It ended FY22 with a topline of ₹1,100 crore. “We plan to expand our network of EBOs to 400 within a couple of years, while doubling our production capacity," he added.	https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/carlyle-sees-coming-boom-in-consumption-as-brands-take-hold/amp-11657479729667.html	2022-07-10T21:00:59Z	https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/carlyle-sees-coming-boom-in-consumption-as-brands-take-hold/amp-11657479729667.html	true	2
ITV's Tipping Point game show was forced to confront a long running fan conspiracy theory about magnets tonight after an appearance by Emmerdale's Lucy Pargeter. Lucy, who plays Chaz Dingle on the hit ITV soap beat the competition from comedian Sarah Pascoe and rugby player Joe Marler to reach the final round of Tipping Point. She managed to get every question right in the final round. But it wasn't long before she ruffled host Ben Shephard's feathers when she blamed her bad luck in the final jackpot attempt on a controversial accusation that has been levelled at the show before - she blamed magnets. Read more: How hot it has to be before you can legally be sent to the office to work Presenter Ben Shephard gave Lucy the chance to have three extra tokens to win the jackpot - but if they didn't work, she'd have lost the £6,000 she'd already won for her charity, Women's Aid. Saying she knew the value the £6,000 could have for the charity, Lucy decided to leave with the money she had. Lucy said: "It's not my money. I know that money will help so many families out." And it turned out to be the right decision - they played out the three tokens anyway to see what would have happened, and none were enough to push the jackpot over the edge. Tipping Point's host Ben Shephard addressed the big magnet "conspiracy" that has been doing the rounds among fans during the latest episode. After a bad drop for the counters, Lucy joked that the machine was being 'controlled by a magnet' - which echoes a long-held fan conspiracy theory from Tipping Point viewers. Lucy told Ben: "There was someone with a magnet behind there flipping it that way." A shocked Ben Shepherd, the host, replied: "Don’t talk about the magnet. Conspiracy theorists love a magnet." Lucy then added: "I love a conspiracy theory," as she laughed. In the past, Ben Shephard has talked about the system that goes into making the Tipping Point machine work. Ben admitted the system is not quite as simple as the game. The 47-year-old Good Morning Britain host set the record straight in an interview as he described how the famous counter machine is made up of a "complicated system". "It’s such a complicated set up, which is why when people ask if we can take it on the road, that’s the reason why we can’t." He explained that the machine requires a person to sit inside the machine, despite all the high-tech electronics that make it work. Ben said: "He has to make sure the hydraulics are going at the right pace, because sometimes they can be too fast. He has to make sure the hoppers that feed the counter are full."

An Ayrshire venue has launched an innovative way to help tackle food poverty over the summer holidays. With roughly a third of Ayrshire kids living in poverty and the cost of living crisis piling on the pressure for families, every little helps. The Brass and Granite, which has now reopened under new management, have launched a scheme that helps to feeds kids but also tries to minimise the stigma of asking for help. The Kilmarnock boozer says parents are welcome to message their Facebook page with a special code word and kids can get a free sandwich, drink and packet of crisps. They posted on Facebook: "With Schools finishing up for summer, we had a thought and done some research. "Do you know how many kids will go hungry in the UK during the holidays? "Over 3 million kids. To us this is unacceptable. No kid should go hungry! "We have decided to do our bit for our local community. "Starting from 30/06/2022 if your child or if you know of a child going hungry we will provide a sandwich, Fruit Shoot and crisps free of charge. "Orders need to be in before 7pm the night before (Fb message) and then collected the following day from the Brass & Granite. "Now we know this can be an embarrassing thing for anyone so we have came up with a code phrase to use. 'I called earlier about my kids toy that was left yesterday'. All our team know this phrase and no fuss will be made. "Please share this but we ask you don't tag people although if you hit share you can send in messenger to someone."

MAASLAND, Netherlands (AP) — Bales of hay lie burning along Dutch highways. Supermarket shelves stand empty because distribution centers are blocked by farmers. Then, at dusk, a police officer pulls his pistol and shoots at a tractor. Dutch farmers are embroiled in a summer of discontent that shows no sign of abating. Their target? Government plans to rein in emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia that they say threatens to wreck their agricultural way of life and put them out of business. The reduction targets could radically alter the Netherlands’ lucrative agriculture sector, which is known for its intensive farming, and may also foreshadow similar reforms — and protests — in other European nations whose farmers also pump out pollutants. That turmoil seems a long way off Friday at Jaap Zegwaard’s dairy farm, which occupies 80 hectares (200 acres) of grassland close to the port city of Rotterdam, whose chimneys and cranes form a backdrop to his fields. Most of Zegwaard’s herd of 180 cattle, mostly black and white Holstein-Friesians, graze in meadows close to a traditional Dutch windmill and large white wind turbines. And even if the farm has been in Zegwaard’s family for five generations, some 200 years, he doesn’t know if he would recommend the farming life to his a 7-year-old daughter and 3-year-old twin boys. “If you ask me now, I’d say, please don’t even think about it,” the 41-year-old said. “There are so many worries. Life’s much too beautiful to deal with what’s going on in the agriculture sector at the moment.” “Ask the average farmer: it’s profoundly sad,” he said. At the heart of the clash between farmers and the Dutch government are moves to protect human health and vulnerable natural habitats from pollution in the form of nitrogen oxides and ammonia, which are produced by industry, transport and in the waste of livestock. The Netherlands, a nation of 17.5 million people inhabiting an area a little larger than Maryland, has 1.57 million registered dairy cattle and just over 1 million calves being raised for meat, statistics show. The country’s farms produced exports worth 94.5 billion euros in 2019. Nitrogen oxides and ammonia raise nutrient levels and acidity in the soil, leading to a reduction in biodiversity. Airborne nitrogen leads to smog and tiny particles that are damaging to people’s health. When the Council of State, the country’s top administrative court and legislative advisory body, ruled in 2019 that Dutch policies to rein in nitrogen emissions were inadequate, it forced the government to consider tougher measures. Unveiling a map detailing nitrogen reduction targets last month, the Dutch government called it an “unavoidable transition.” It said the coming year would finally bring clarity for Dutch farmers, “whether and how they can continue with their business. The minister sees three options for farmers: become (more) sustainable, relocate or stop.” The Dutch government aims to slash nitrogen emissions by 50% by 2030 and has earmarked an extra 24.3 billion euros ($25.6 billion) to fund the changes. Provincial authorities have one year to draw up plans for achieving the reductions. Nitrogen expert Wim de Vries, a professor at Wageningen University and Research, doubts that deadline is realistic. “It seems to be very fast and there is a legacy, already for 40 years, because the problem was much bigger in the 1980s. We then called it ‘acid rain,’” he said. “Considering that legacy, it doesn’t make so much difference if we do it in 7 or 10 or 12 years. We anyhow have to wait for decades for nature to improve seriously.” Farmers have been protesting for years against the government’s nitrogen policies, but the emissions targets unleashed new demonstrations, with tractors clogging highways and supermarket distribution centers that led briefly to some shortages of fresh produce. Farmers also clashed with police outside the home of the minister in charge of the government’s nitrogen policies. And this week an officer opened fire on a tractor driven by a 16-year-old. After initially being held on suspicion of attempted manslaughter, the young driver was released without charge. The Dutch government has appointed a veteran political negotiator to act as a middleman, but the gesture was immediately rejected by activist farmers and the nation’s largest farming lobby group. “The government does not offer any space to enter into a real conversation,” said the farming lobby group LTO. “Under these conditions, speaking with the mediator is pointless.” The LTO, which represents about 30,000 farms — nearly a half of the Dutch total — described the nitrogen reduction target as “simply unfeasible.” Dutch farms produced exports worth 94.5 billion euros in 2019. The group says the government is focused on reducing livestock and buying up farms and not paying enough attention to innovation and sustainable farming practices. Environmentalists say now is the time to act. “You rip a plaster off a wound in one go,” said Andy Palmen, director of Greenpeace Netherlands. “Painful choices are now necessary.” Zegwaard’s farm is in an area where the government is seeking only a 12% cut in emissions, yet he also demonstrates out of solidarity with others and supports the protests. “The average person currently sees the Netherlands as a nitrogen polluter, while we are also a food producer. It seems like people have forgotten that,” he told The Associated Press. ___ Follow all AP stories on climate change issues at https://apnews.com/hub/climate.	https://www.wkrn.com/news/international/ap-international/anger-simmers-for-dutch-farmers-who-oppose-pollution-cuts/	2022-07-10T21:18:12Z	https://www.wkrn.com/news/international/ap-international/anger-simmers-for-dutch-farmers-who-oppose-pollution-cuts/	false	29

New-car sales results around the world for the first half of 2022 Half-year sales results are a key milestone for all markets, so how are things trending in the rest of the world? Australia’s half-year new car sales tally of 537,858 vehicles puts us on a path to 1.1 million vehicles by year's end. The market is currently down 5.2 per cent on the same time last year, with the back half of 2021 slightly slower than the lead, resulting in 1,049,831 sales. But with the mid-year result a key indicator for most markets, we’ve had a look to see where things are looking bright, and where they aren’t in a post-lockdown, supply-constrained, semiconductor-drained market. United Kingdom Figures report 802,079 cars as sold in the UK so far this year, a drop of 11.9 per cent on the same period in 2021. Petrol power is still king, accounting for 43.8 per cent of all sales, while only 5.7 per cent of sales are for diesel cars (compared to 34.5 per cent in Australia). Fully-electric (14.4 per cent), plug-in hybrid (6.4 per cent) and closed-loop hybrid (11.4 per cent) vehicle sales are up 43.1 per cent on the equivalent sales for June 2021. The best-selling car is the Vauxhall Corsa at 22,212 units, followed by the Ford Puma (18,367) and Nissan Qashqai (16,583). The top-selling electric car is the Tesla Model Y with 12,011 sales so far in 2022. United States With over one million cars sold per month, the US new-car market looks quite rosy, but the total of 6,859,612 vehicles sold so far in 2022 is down 17.9 per cent over the same period in 2021. Passenger car sales (1,479,636) alone are down 25 per cent year on year. The biggest share of the market goes to General Motors with a 15.9 per cent stake, but Tesla is the ninth-strongest seller with a four per cent share of the US new-car market so far this year (273,618 vehicles). So far this year, the Ford F-Series is the number-one vehicle in the USA with 299,345 sales, followed by the Chevrolet Silverado at 259,516 and Ram pick-up range (244,983). The top-selling SUV is the Toyota RAV4 at 200,885 sales (almost 10 times Australia's volume), and the best-selling passenger car is the Toyota Camry at 135,925 cars delivered. Japan With 2.2 million vehicles sold so far this year, compared to 2.6 million in 2021 (2,211,201 v 2,614,025), Japan’s market is down 15.4 per cent year on year. Split into three categories – mini (Kei cars), non-mini and 'imported' (including classics) – the Japanese market is heavily weighted toward domestic production (35.7 per cent Kei-cars and 57.4 per cent non-mini cars) with only 6.9 per cent of vehicles sold in Japan made elsewhere. The 153,954 imported cars sold – led by Mercedes-Benz, with 15.8 per cent share – includes some much older, non-new models, with 10 Pontiacs and 43 Autobianchis among the yearly total. The top-selling electric car is the Nissan Leaf, with 6345 cars sold in the six months elapsed so far this year, against almost 11,000 throughout all of 2021. 4 Images	https://www.drive.com.au/news/new-car-sales-around-the-world-h1-2022/	2022-07-10T21:19:29Z	https://www.drive.com.au/news/new-car-sales-around-the-world-h1-2022/	true	1

(iSeeCars) – While pickup trucks are known for their wide array of capabilities, including off-road adventures, hauling heavy loads, and even offering a fair degree of luxury in their upper trim levels, a truck’s maximum towing capability is typically its most impressive specification. Unlike SUVs that have to balance passenger space and cargo capacity with towing needs, trucks have a more utilitarian focus that’s reflected in their powertrains specs, including payload capacity and tow rating. We’ve included the max tow rating for each truck listed below, along with maximum horsepower and lb-ft of torque figures for the engine that delivers the best tow capacity. You might not be surprised to learn the best engine for towing is rarely the base engine. We’ve also included each truck’s starting MSRP. Keep in mind that achieving a truck’s highest towing capacity will often involve ordering (and paying for) a tow package. You can also increase any truck’s maximum towing capacity by adding a gooseneck or fifth wheel hitch in the center of the bed, which locates the trailer’s tongue weight directly over the rear axle to improve trailer stability. While heavy-duty pickups have the highest towing capacity, we’ve also included the specifications for full-size and midsize trucks below. Best Trucks for Towing: Heavy-Duty Trucks These are the largest and most capable consumer pickup trucks. Their engine options include diesel engines (usually turbo diesels) with names like “Cummins”, “Duramax” and “Power Stroke”. They are also physically larger than full-size trucks, making them the best pickups for towing large, heavy trailers or campers. It’s worth noting that while manual transmissions used to be commonplace in pickup trucks, in recent model years every automaker has switched to automatic transmissions across their lineups. Denotes diesel engine Best Trucks for Towing: Full-Size Pickups Full-size pickups are consistently the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. market, reflecting their strong demand as both work vehicles and weekend adventure vehicles. Available as both regular cab (two-door) and crew cab (four-door) models, full-size trucks like the Chevy Silverado and the Ram 1500 have evolved into capable, even luxurious, family transportation. But they haven’t yet dethroned the Ford F-150 as the best-selling truck for the past four decades. Does the Ford’s highest tow rating in this category play into its ongoing sales success? Maybe. Denotes diesel engine Best Trucks for Towing: Midsize Pickups Although physically smaller than modern full-size pickups, today’s midsize trucks still offer roomy, comfortable cabins and enough towing capacity to serve many of today’s truck buyers while being easier to park and delivering superior fuel economy. You can’t get a high-torque diesel or V8 engine in this category, but you will find capable V6 and four-cylinder engines, rear-wheel and four-wheel drive powertrains, plus premium features like advanced infotainment systems and safety features. There’s even a fully-electric midsize truck from Rivian, though it’s starting price is between two and three times the cost of a traditional model. * Denotes diesel engine Bottom Line: Pickup trucks come in many configurations and offer a wide range of features across trims. There are also more models than ever before to choose from thanks to the growing compact and midsize truck segment. Hauling capability can also vary widely across trucks in each segment, so if towing capacity is a priority, consider the heaviest haulers on this list.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - Sri Lanka's opposition political parties met Sunday to agree on a new government a day after the country's president and prime minister offered to resign following the most dramatic day of monthslong political turmoil, with protesters storming the leaders' homes and setting fire to one of the buildings in a rage over the economic crisis. Protesters remained in President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's residence, his seaside office and the prime minister's home, saying they would stay until the resignations are official. The president's whereabouts were unknown, but a statement from his office said he ordered the immediate distribution of a cooking gas consignment to the public, suggesting that he was still at work. Soldiers were deployed around the city and the chief of defense staff, Shavendra Silva, called for public support to maintain law and order. But troops simply watched from afar as crowds of people splashed in the garden pool of Rajapaksa's sprawling residence, lounged on beds and took selfies of themselves on their cellphones to capture the moment. Occupants of the prime minister's official residence cooked in an outdoor kitchen, played carrom - a popular tabletop game - and slept on sofas. Ranjith Madduma Bandara, a top official in the main opposition United People's Force, said that separate discussions were held with other parties and lawmakers who broke away from Rajapaksa's ruling coalition and more meetings were planned. He did not say when an agreement might be reached, even though it was expected to be finalized Sunday. Another opposition lawmaker, M. A. Sumanthiran, said earlier that all opposition parties combined could easily muster the 113 members needed to show a majority in Parliament, at which point they will request Rajapaksa to install the new government and then resign. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said he will leave office once a new government is in place, and hours later the speaker of Parliament said Rajapaksa would step down Wednesday. Pressure on both men had grown as the economic meltdown set off acute shortages of essential items, leaving people struggling to obtain food, fuel and other necessities. If both president and prime minister resign, Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena will take over as temporary president, according to the constitution. Rajapaksa appointed Wickremesinghe as prime minister in May in an effort to solve the shortages and start economic recovery. Wickremesinghe had been part of crucial talks with the International Monetary Fund for a bailout program and with the World Food Program to prepare for a predicted food crisis. The government must submit a plan on debt sustainability to the IMF in August before reaching an agreement. Analysts say it is doubtful any new leader could do more than Wickremesinghe. His government's efforts showed promise, with much-needed fertilizer being distributed to farmers for next season's cultivation and cooking gas orders arriving in the country Sunday. “This kind of unrest could create confusion among international organizations like the IMF and the World Bank,” political analyst Ranga Kalansooriya said, adding that a new administration should agree on a common program for economic recovery. He said while Wickremesinghe was working in the right direction, his administration was not implementing a long-term plan to go with its focus on solving day-to-day problems. It is unlikely that an all-party government will agree on IMF-backed economic reforms without some parties losing their political support. Wickremesinghe said Saturday that it was not proper for him to leave without a government in place. “Today in this country we have a fuel crisis, a food shortage, we have the head of the World Food Program coming here and we have several matters to discuss with the IMF,” he said. “Therefore, if this government leaves there should be another government.” Four Cabinet ministers have resigned since Saturday's protests. Even though both Wickremesinghe and Abeywardena, the parliament speaker, said in their speeches that they had spoken with the president, they did not say anything about his whereabouts. Protesters also broke into the prime minister's private residence and set it on fire during the melee on Saturday. A party official, Ruwan Wijewardena, said Wickremesinghe was inside when the protesters gathered but security officers removed him to a different location. Wijewardena said such acts will only polarize the society and political parties. “If these kinds of incidents keep on going, we can wave bye-bye to the IMF and any international assistance that is going to come to the country. If there is lawlessness, if there is no coming together among the political groups, there is no way the international community can come in and help this country,” he said. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Washington was tracking the developments in Sri Lanka and urged Parliament to work quickly to implement solutions and address the people's discontent. Speaking at a news conference in Bangkok, Blinken said that the United States condemns attacks against the peaceful demonstrators while calling for a full investigation into any protest-related violence. Pope Francis opened his Sunday remarks after noon prayers at the Vatican by voicing concern about Sri Lanka. “I unite myself to the pain of the people of Sri Lanka, who continue to suffer the effects of the political and economic instability,” the pontiff told the public in St. Peter's Square. “Together with the bishops of the country, I renew my appeal for peace, and I implore those who have authority not to ignore the cry of the poor and the needs of the people.” Sri Lanka is relying on aid from India and other nations as leaders try to negotiate a bailout with the IMF. Wickremesinghe said recently that negotiations with the IMF were complex because Sri Lanka was now a bankrupt state. Sri Lanka announced in April that it was suspending repayment of 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. Months of demonstrations have all but dismantled the Rajapaksa political dynasty, which has ruled Sri Lanka for most of the past two decades but is accused by protesters of mismanagement and corruption. The president's older brother resigned as prime minister in May after violent protests saw him seek safety at a naval base. He later moved into a house in Colombo.	https://www.cp24.com/world/sri-lanka-opposition-meets-to-install-new-gov-t-amid-turmoil-1.5981806	2022-07-10T21:31:51Z	https://www.cp24.com/world/sri-lanka-opposition-meets-to-install-new-gov-t-amid-turmoil-1.5981806	false	37

Grace Geyoro netted a first-half hat-trick to help France thrash Italy 5-1 in their Euro 2022 Group D opener. France’s demolition job started early when Geyoro grabbed her first goal inside the opening 10 minutes and Marie-Antoinette Katoto made it two just three minutes later. Nearly all of the first-half running – barring a couple of tame Italian attacks – came from France and they ended the half with three goals in eight minutes, including two more from Geyoro for the first hat-trick at the tournament. Italy dug in after the break, while France could not keep up the brilliance which was on show in the first half and Martina Piemonte’s second-half consolation gave the Italian fans something to cheer. Italy had the first opportunity in the opening minutes when Cristiana Girelli’s headed pass sent Barbara Bonansea through one-on-one but her effort was superbly saved by Pauline Peyraud-Magnin. The tide soon shifted and a first spell of French dominance began shortly afterwards when Geyoro finished from close range to make it 1-0 in the ninth minute. France soon had a second when Sakina Karchaoui saw her cross parried by goalkeeper Laura Giuliani into the path of Katoto and she could not miss from inside the area. The relentless, efficient and bullish French attack showed no signs of letting up and moments after Delphine Cascarino had shanked wide with the goal gaping, she made up for it with a rifled effort from outside the area. Les Bleues looked like they would score with every attack, this time Geyoro raced through on goal before sitting Giuliani down and rounding her to tap into an empty net. Geyoro completed her first-half treble to put the game beyond any doubt before the half-time whistle with an emphatic volley past the helpless Giuliani. Italy’s night threatened to get worse when captain Sara Gama was shown a red card by referee Rebecca Welch for a late challenge on Geyoro, only for the decision to be reduced to yellow by VAR. With pride at stake in the second half, Italy certainly showed more and were rewarded for their efforts when substitute Piemonte looped in a header from inside the box, but the damage had already been done as France made it 15 straight wins.

(AP) - President Joe Biden said Sunday he is considering declaring a public health emergency to free up federal resources to promote abortion access even though the White House has said it doesn't seem like "a great option." He also offered a message to people enraged by the Supreme Court's ruling last month that ended a constitutional right to abortion and who have been demonstrating across the country: "Keep protesting. Keep making your point. It's critically important." The president, in remarks to reporters during a stop on a bike ride near his family's Delaware beach house, said he lacks the power to force the dozen-plus states with strict restrictions or outright bans on abortion to allow the procedure. "I don’t have the authority to say that we’re going to reinstate Roe v. Wade as the law of the land," he said, referring to the Supreme Court's decision from 1973 that had established a national right to abortion. Biden said Congress would have to codify that right and for that to have a better chance in the future, voters would have to elect more lawmakers who support abortion access. Biden said his administration is trying to do a "lot of things to accommodate the rights of women" after the ruling, including considering declaring a public health emergency to free up federal resources. Such a move has been pushed by advocates, but White House officials have questioned both its legality and effectiveness, and noted it would almost certainly face legal challenges. The president said he has asked officials "to look at whether I have the authority to do that and what impact that would have." On Friday, Jen Klein, the director of the White House Gender Policy Council, said it "didn't seem like a great option." "When we looked at the public health emergency, we learned a couple things: One is that it doesn’t free very many resources," she told reporters. "It’s what’s in the public health emergency fund, and there’s very little money — tens of thousands of dollars in it. So that didn’t seem like a great option. And it also doesn’t release a significant amount of legal authority. And so that’s why we haven’t taken that action yet." ___ Associated Press writer Zeke Miller in Washington contributed to this report.	https://www.ktvu.com/news/biden-considering-declaring-health-emergency-for-abortion-access	2022-07-10T21:52:01Z	https://www.ktvu.com/news/biden-considering-declaring-health-emergency-for-abortion-access	false	37
