Police were called to help manage large crowds at Wireless Festival in the sweltering heat ahead of Nicki Minaj’s performance.
Dozens of officers were deployed near London’s Finsbury Park at around 3pm on Sunday after people tried to make their way past queues.
As temperatures rose to almost 30C (86F), large groups were seen crowded together outside to see headline sets from Minaj and Lil Baby.
Footage on social media appeared to show people jumping over gates to make their way into the music event.
One person said on Twitter: “I’m genuinely starting to get worried for Nicki and people’s safety … more people keep piling up and it’s very hot out there.”
Another wrote: “Having only the smallest opening at the singular entrance to Finsbury Park, with no regulated flow of pedestrian traffic. People being trampled and forced to climb tall gates.”
Wireless Festival warned people of fake tickets and scammers, as it issued a statement on social media saying the event was sold out.
A Metropolitan Police statement read: “A small number of people tried to get through an entrance to Wireless Festival while others were queueing.
“As a result of this, security staff put in place a brief hold on people being admitted to the event to ensure the safe flow of people into the site. This caused a large crowd to form in the area around the site.
“Officers assisted security staff with managing the crowd to keep people safe.
“We continue to work closely with the event organiser and other partners to prevent further disruption and we thank people attending for their patience, particularly in the hot weather.”
Haringey Council said two nearby roads were closed to “enable crowd safety management”.
Wireless Festival was approached for comment. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/entertainment/music/4523392/police-help-manage-wireless-festival-crowds-ahead-of-nicki-minaj-performance/ | 2022-07-10T21:53:36Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/entertainment/music/4523392/police-help-manage-wireless-festival-crowds-ahead-of-nicki-minaj-performance/ | true | 9 |
Here comes the tale of the Chinese takeaway. Pour yourself a large breakfast sherry, readers. You’re going to need it.
I was away for a long weekend in heap big city, first time off the island in five months, and I was drooling for a Chinese.
Imagine my delight when I found no fewer than four on a 50-yard stretch just a 15-minute walk from my hotel.
They looked scuzzy, and I wondered how they did business next to a dual carriageway.
I’m a daring smuggler
But I guess most orders these days are for delivery. I phoned mine in for collection.
Now, I’m a daring fellow, and one particularly risky thing I do is smuggle takeaways into hotel rooms.
I’m unsure of the rules here. Some say it’s allowed, but I like to think it’s forbidden. It should be, with people like me on the premises.
I put in a large order for one: soup, ribs, chow mein, chips (Chinese chips are best; scandalous for a chip-based nation like ours, but there it is).
Everything went well … until it didn’t. I collected, smuggled, ate, though little of it, probably a third. I just wanted to sample it all.
Things started to go bad
Problem was I’d no cutlery. Usually, a great joy of smuggled Chinese in a hotel is eating it with the teaspoon provided for beverages.
But, this time, there was no such thing, just some wooden stirring sticks, shaped like narrow files. My first course was like eating soup with chopsticks. Difficult.
I’ve trouble enough with proper cutlery. I’m a spiller. I get food everywhere.
A detail to add was that I was sitting up on my bed. The only chair provided was uncomfortable, and my ad hoc arrangement made it easier to watch Netflix (Big Bang Theory) on my laptop. I have to watch something while eating.
Then they got worse
Alas, by the time I was done I’d spilled Chinese liquids on my pillow, sheet, duvet cover, and the daft decorational thing atop that.
I tried cleaning them using the soap dispenser in the bathroom. Some of it went well. Most not.
I’d to put the heating on in the already roasting room, draping the textiles over the radiator to dry. I also left the bag containing the takeaway detritus by the window to disperse the smell. That left a stain on the windowsill.
Obviously, you take it as read that I’d also acquired stains on my shirt and trousers. Nor did I leave out the carpet.
Then things got even worse
Next morning, I double-bagged the deadly takeaway remains and shoved them into my wee backpack to smuggle them out. There, they leaked into the bag and onto my mobile phone and laptop.
As I tried cleaning these, I got it on my hands and then onto the car’s gear stick.
This takeaway from hell was ruining my life, coating it in Chinese goo.
Eventually, I wrestled it out of the car and found a litter bin, into whose narrow entry I managed to stuff it after pushing and pushing, one leg sticking up in the air, much to the amusement of passers-by.
But, at last, I was rid of the fiendish beast. Let that be a lesson, readers. Don’t smuggle Chinese takeaways into your hotel room. It’s the road to a messy disaster. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/4518853/rab-mcneil-chinese-takeaway/ | 2022-07-10T21:54:41Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/4518853/rab-mcneil-chinese-takeaway/ | true | 2 |
While Julien BriseBois knows exactly how confident he is about the possibility of re-signing playoff performer Ondrej Palat and veteran defenseman Jan Rutta, he’s not saying.
“Still working on that,” the two-time Stanley Cup-winning general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning said. “Too early to tell.”
He’s also right that it’s too early to tell exactly what NHL free agency will look like when it begins Wednesday. Colorado, which beat Tampa Bay in the Cup Final, is looking to sign postseason standout Valeri Nichushkin among a group of potential free agents, and others such as Calgary MVP candidate Johnny Gaudreau, Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin and Florida trade deadline pickup Claude Giroux could all get new deals to stay rather than hitting the open market.
“It’s not July 13 yet,” BriseBois said. “Those guys may all be signed by then.”
A big star re-upping with his team has already happened a couple of times: the Pittsburgh Penguins signed veteran defenseman Kris Letang for six years and the Nashville Predators signed high-scoring winger Filip Forsberg for eight. Teams have until midnight EDT Tuesday — 12 hours before free agency begins — to get the maximum benefit of signing players for eight years, after which they can only get up to seven.
Still, even that timeline feels like a lifetime away in the hockey world, especially with the bulk of the offseason condensed into less than three weeks.
“We’ve got some time,” Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic said about discussions with several pending free agents. “We know we’re not going to be able to sign everybody. We know that. But we’ve got our priority and then we’ll see. I think some players will test the market and see what’s out there for them and see if they want to come back, but time will tell.”
The Avalanche have not only Nichushkin but center Nazem Kadri, forwards Andre Burakovsky, Darren Helm and Nico Sturm and defensemen Josh Manson, Jack Johnson and Ryan Murray set to be unrestricted free agents if they don’t re-sign.
Kadri seems the most likely out the door for a big payday after a career year and breakout playoffs, though that would give Colorado some space to take care of other players.
“I think we’re in the ballpark with some of the guys,” Sakic said. “I’m not going to go into details with who, but we’re hopeful we’ll be able to make an announcement and not have all of them go to the market on Wednesday.”
Calgary GM Brad Treliving expressed the same optimism about Gaudreau, who set career highs with 40 goals, 75 assists and 115 points and finished fourth in Hart Trophy voting as the league’s most valuable player. He said these things take time and pointed out Gaudreau isn’t the first or last top player to go un-signed until the final days between free agency and talks continue.
“You look at all the options, but our focus is on Plan A, and until such time as Plan A’s not a reality, we’ll focus on that,” Treliving said. “The only focus is trying to get him signed, and we’ll continue working at that end.”
The same appears to be the case for the Panthers and Giroux, the longtime captain of the Philadelphia Flyers they acquired at the trade deadline. The Boston Bruins are also waiting to hear from their longtime captain, Patrice Bergeron, who’s expected to only play for them if he returns for a 19th season.
“He’s made real good indications to us that he’s trending in the right manner, but until he makes that proclamation, we’ll wait,” Bruins GM Don Sweeney said.
Some teams can’t afford to wait until Wednesday to make moves because they need to clear salary cap space before then. After a weekend of goaltender musical chairs at the draft and more coming on that front, Minnesota GM Bill Guerin figures the league will be buzzing with activity before free agency.
“You could definitely see it,” Guerin said. “Teams are doing everything in their power to get cap space, so I could see a lot.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Mike Moustakas, Tyler Stephenson and Jonathan India each hit a two-run homer in the third inning and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-5 Sunday for a three-game sweep.
Moustakas connected for his 200th career homer as the Reds posted their first four-game winning streak since May 25-28. It was his first home run since May 13 and fourth of the season.
The Reds opened the series with back-to-back, 10-inning wins, including Friday night's game that ended on a balk. Cincinnati broke away early in the wrapup, scoring seven times in the third off rookie Shane Baz (1-2).
Rookie left-hander Nick Lodolo (2-2) was the beneficiary of the homer barrage. In his second start since coming off the injured list and fifth overall, Cincinnati’s top 2019 draft pick allowed nine hits and three runs in five innings, striking out six.
Randy Arozarena, Josh Lowe and René Pinto homered for the Rays.
Tyler Naquin added a two-run double for the Reds.
The Reds rocked Baz for eight hits and seven runs in 2 1/3 innings. The right-hander had allowed a combined three runs in 22 1/3 innings over his previous four starts.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rays: SS Wander Franco (right wrist discomfort) and CF Kevin Kiermaier (left hip inflammation) were placed on the 10-day injured list. … LHP Jeffrey Springs (right lower leg tightness) went on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday.
Reds: Sunday’s game was the seventh straight missed by 1B Joey Votto (lower back tightness).
UP NEXT
Rays: The starting pitcher remained to be determined for Monday’s series-opener at home against the Red Sox.
Reds: Rookie RHP Graham Ashcraft, Tuesday’s starter at Yankee Stadium, lasted 2-13 innings in his last start on Wednesday against the Mets, the shortest outing of his nine outings.

The cryptocurrency is currently down 75.98% from its record high, according to data provided by data site CoinGecko.As reported by U.Today, Fidelity’s Jurrien Timmer recently opined that Ethereum was “cheaper” compared to Bitcoin. He believes that Ethereum has already reached the bottom of the ongoing bearish cycle.

With Florida Senator Bill Nelson suggesting President Obama militarize the Gulf spill cleanup, Bush security adviser Frances Townsend says our troops shouldn’t pay the price for federal incompetence.
Earlier this week, President Obama requested funding from Congress to deploy 1,200 National Guard troops along the U.S.-Mexico border. During the Bush administration, we likewise sent several thousand National Guardsmen to the border while we worked to double the size of the U.S. Border Patrol. On Wednesday, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) called on Obama to turn responsibility for the response to the BP oil spill over to the U.S. military. Again, during the Bush administration thousands of National Guardsmen were deployed to the Gulf coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to support local response efforts.
But here is the problem: Our men and women in uniform cannot and must not continue to be used as our national "in emergency break glass" capability. The Department of Defense is assigned mission responsibilities for which they are then given a budget to man, train, and equip themselves to execute. And while their "civilian support" mission read broadly could probably be stretched to include garbage collection, that would make such an assignment neither right nor fair.
When the private sector and civilian agencies fail to man, train, and equip themselves for their assigned missions, we must not turn to the only national capability we have confidence in to bail them out!
Our military continues to fight each day in Iraq and Afghanistan, taking casualties and horrific injuries. The troops also face ongoing operations around the world in places such as the Horn of Africa and Yemen as they prepare for potential future conflicts in Iran and North Korea. Each of these are challenges that only the U.S. military is capable of confronting—and for which they are manned, trained and equipped.
When the private sector and the civilian agencies of the federal government fail to anticipate, prepare, respond, and recover from a catastrophic event, we cannot reflexively turn to the U.S. military who are already fully engaged in their assigned missions. When the private sector and civilian agencies—those who are responsible—fail to man, train, and equip themselves for their assigned missions, we must not turn to the only national capability we have confidence in to bail them out!
The failures in the BP oil spill go back long before April 20 when the spill happened. It stems from the federal government's inability to ensure that BP had an adequate catastrophic response capability when they granted the drilling license. The second mistake by the federal government was failing to ensure their own ability to plan, prepare, and train to assess, command and respond to a massive spill. There continue to be failures across the private and public sectors for which the American people must demand accountability. Absent clear accountability we will leave not only this environmental tragedy for our children but the legacy of incompetence for them to correct. We owe them better. We owe them more.
But one thing is clear: we would only compound the tragedy to ask our men and women in uniform to pay the price for the incompetence and failure of others. The U.S. military must not be assigned responsibility for the BP oil spill, a mission they do not possess the capability to resolve. This is not their mess.
Frances Townsend served as assistant to President George W. Bush for homeland security and counterterrorism and chaired the Homeland Security Council from May 2004 until January 2008. She previously served as deputy assistant to the president and deputy national security advisor for combating terrorism from May 2003 to May 2004. Most recently, she provided consulting services and advice to corporate entities on global strategic engagement and risk as well as crisis and contingency planning. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/gulf-oil-spill-why-the-military-cant-help | 2022-07-10T22:14:51Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/gulf-oil-spill-why-the-military-cant-help | true | 1 |
Liz Truss launches Tory leadership bid
- Credit: Chris Bishop
Foreign secretary and Norfolk MP Liz Truss has become the 10th Conservative candidate to launch a campaign to succeed Boris Johnson as party leader and prime minister.
Ms Truss, who is the south west Norfok MP, has insisted she can be "trusted to deliver" and promised to reverse the controversial national insurance hike if made Tory leader.
The senior Cabinet minister, who is widely expected to be a front-runner in the already crowded race, has said she would “start cutting taxes from day one” to help with the cost of living.
Other contenders include former health secretaries Sajid Javid and Jeremy Hunt, ex-chancellor Rishi Sunak, his successor Nadhim Zahawi, transport secretary Grant Shapps, as well as trade minister Penny Mordaunt.
Former minister Kemi Badenoch and senior backbencher Tom Tugendhat have also thrown their hats into the ring.
Ms Truss’s pledge to scrap the national insurance rise, which came into effect in April, mirrors that of rival Mr Javid.
It marks a departure from her defence of the policy as a minister in Boris Johnson’s Cabinet, prior to his resignation, when she was bound by collective responsibility to support the move publicly.

The levy was introduced to raise funds for the NHS and social care, but has proved controversial at a time when households are feeling the squeeze from soaring food and energy bills.
Ms Truss argued “it isn’t right to be putting up taxes now”, and as leader she would take “immediate action” to assist with living costs.
She said she would “keep corporation tax competitive” – hinting that she wants to look again at Mr Sunak’s plans to hike the rate in April 2023, but did not go so far as to match some of her fellow contenders’ pledges to scrap the rise entirely.
The foreign secretary said she would “get the private sector growing faster than the public sector, with a long-term plan to bring down the size of the state and the tax burden”.
Writing in The Telegraph, she said: “Under my leadership, I would start cutting taxes from day one to take immediate action to help people deal with the cost of living.
“I would reverse the national insurance increase that came in during April, make sure we keep corporation tax competitive so we can attract business and investment into Britain, and put the Covid debt on a longer-term footing.”
Ms Truss said her plan would get the country back on track towards becoming a “high-growth and high-productivity powerhouse”.
“It is built on a clear and longstanding Conservative philosophy, including bold supply-side reform,” she added.
Ms Truss said she had “led the way” in making the most of Britain’s “new-found freedoms” outside the EU, but insisted “we can go further, whether it is doing more to champion innovation or charting our own course on regulation”.
She said she would bring “clear and decisive leadership” to Downing Street, adding: “Colleagues know I mean what I say and only make promises I can keep. I can be trusted to deliver.”
Ms Truss said the Tories can win the next election, but acknowledged it will be “an uphill battle”. | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/local-council/liz-truss-launches-tory-leadership-bid-9134756 | 2022-07-10T22:15:20Z | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/local-council/liz-truss-launches-tory-leadership-bid-9134756 | false | 3 |
MOBILE, Ala. -- Descendants of the last African people abducted into slavery and brought to America's shores gathered over the weekend on the banks of an Alabama river to pay tribute to their ancestors.
The descendants of the 110 people aboard the Clotilda, the last known slave ship to bring enslaved African people to the United States, held a ceremony to mark the anniversary of the vessel's arrival.
Dressed in white and walking slowly to the beat of an African drum, the descendants made their way to the banks of the Mobile River near Alabama's coast. A wreath of white, yellow and red flowers was carried into the river by a kayaker and released into the waters.
In 1860, the Clotilda illegally transported 110 people from what is now the west African nation of Benin to Mobile, Alabama. The voyage happened decades after the law banning the importation of slaves had taken effect when a wealthy plantation owner made a bet he he could smuggle a shipload of enslaved people across the ocean.
“Today is the day that, 162 years ago, 110 enslaved Africans were brought to this country against their will for the purpose of satisfying a bet,” said Darron Patterson, president of the Clotilda Descendants Association, told al.com.
The discovery of the remnants of the Clotilda sparked renewed interest in its saga. But Patterson said the focus should be on the people it carried.
“The ship was pure evil. It was a vessel of evil. The real story was the people inside that cargo hold. Very soon, we’re going to stop talking about the ship as much as we talk about the people. Because the stories of the people are what matter,” he told al.com.
The “landing” ceremony was held near the bridge to the Africatown community founded by Clotilda survivors after the Civil War.
“Proud of my heritage. I’d like to say even more so proud of the resilience and the legacy that they left behind,” descendant Ronald Ellis Jr told FOX10. | https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/clotilda-descendants-mark-anniversary-slave-ship-86573105 | 2022-07-10T22:27:29Z | https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/clotilda-descendants-mark-anniversary-slave-ship-86573105 | true | 11 |

I am unsure of the exact procedure, but if there is a large field of candidates, there are several rounds of voting where they whittle down the field. When there are three candidates left, and one candidate receives more than a third of the vote (it is highly unlikely that each will receive exactly a third of the vote after all), then there are less then two-thirds of the vote remaining - split evenly, they each receive less than a third of the vote. So, if a candidate wins a third of the vote (+1, if you like), they are absolutely guaranteed of going through to the final round. And the final round is a vote amongst Party members.
Ah okay, I thought you meant like there was a rule somewhere about hitting 1/3 was some sort of bye to the final round. I can see the point that a candidate who starts off with a solid number (like Johnson in 2019 and Sunak seems to be this time) is really in the driving seat - as we saw in 2019, Johnson's campaign was able to peel off his own voters to tactically knock others out of the race.
As I said though, I just don't see a
hypothetical (with apologies to SalahsLeftFoot) Johnson campaign starting with anything remotely close to 1/3 of MPs after events since the VoNC failure. Sure, he'd have his weirdo loyalists, and maybe some that realise they rely on him to carry their seats (Red Wallers), but he'd have haemorraghed support from every wing of the party since over 40% of them tried to oust him and could no longer count on
any of the payroll as he would have last time. | https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=351223.msg18414698 | 2022-07-10T22:53:07Z | https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=351223.msg18414698 | true | 2 |
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — One of the jurors in the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial served improperly, an attorney for Heard alleged in a recent filing that asked the court to declare a mistrial and order a new trial.
“Newly discovered facts” show Juror No. 15 in the six-week trial was not the individual summoned in April to serve in the case, Heard’s attorney wrote in a five-page memo filed Friday in Virginia’s Fairfax Circuit Court.
Instead, the filing suggests Juror No. 15 was a younger individual with the same last name who “apparently” lives at the same address.
“As the Court no doubt agrees, it is deeply troubling for an individual not summoned for jury duty nonetheless to appear for jury duty and serve on a jury, especially in a case such as this,” the filing said.
Depp sued his ex-wife over a December 2018 op-ed Heard wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Much of the testimony focused on whether Heard had been physically and sexually abused, as she claimed. Depp said he never hit Heard and that she was the abuser.
After a televised trial that turned into a spectacle, the jury found in Depp’s favor on all three of his claims relating to specific statements in the 2018 piece.
The jury decided Depp should receive $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, but the judge reduced the punitive damages award to $350,000 under a state cap.
Heard has previously said she plans to appeal the verdict.
News of Friday’s filing was first reported by Deadline, which posted the document online.
The memo expanded upon earlier post-trial motions filed by Heard’s legal team that asked the judge to throw out the verdict against her. Those motions had raised the possibility that one of the jurors may not have been properly vetted by the court.
The latest filing said a “jury panel list” in the case included a person who would have been 77 at the time of the trial. Voter registration information lists two individuals with the same last name “apparently” residing at the same address, said the filing, in which the names were redacted.
“The individual who appeared for jury duty with this name was obviously the younger one. Thus, the 52-year-old … sitting on the jury for six weeks was never summoned for jury duty on April 11,” violating Heard’s due process rights, the filing said.
The Associated Press sent emails seeking comment Sunday to a representative for Depp and two of his attorneys. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/amber-heard-attorneys-seek-mistrial/ | 2022-07-10T22:53:24Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/amber-heard-attorneys-seek-mistrial/ | false | 36 |

NASCAR Fans Are Angry At Ross Chastain Today
Ross Chastain has been one of the top drivers on the NASCAR Cup Series this season.
He's also drawn the ire of fellow competitors and fans for his driving style, which has caused a number of accidents. Today's Quaker State 400 was a prime example of that.
Chastain caused two multi-car crashes today, which led to driver Austin Dillon calling him out in an interview and racing fans and pundits doing so on social media.
Chastain was third in points in the Cup Series coming into today, but his mistakes are costing him.
While Chastain's driving may have hampered others, he was fine today, finishing in second.
Chase Elliott took home the checkered flag. Austin Cindric and Erik Jones came in third and fourth respectively. | https://thespun.com/more/nascar/nascar-fans-are-angry-at-ross-chastain-today | 2022-07-10T22:57:58Z | https://thespun.com/more/nascar/nascar-fans-are-angry-at-ross-chastain-today | true | null |

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Orlando Magic led by 18 points with less than five minutes left in regulation of their NBA Summer League against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, well on their way to a victory.
They wound up getting that win — after some very wild events down the stretch.
Emanuel Terry’s layup off a pass from No. 1 pick Paolo Banchero gave the Magic a 94-92 victory in sudden-death overtime, capping a frantic finish to a game that had a little bit of everything in the final moments.
“That’s a game I’ll probably never, ever forget,” Magic summer coach Jesse Mermuys said.
With good reason. Sacramento closed regulation on a 23-5 run, getting the last six of those points in the final 5.1 seconds on a pair of 3-pointers to force overtime.
The fun was just getting started.
Keon Ellis banked in a 3-pointer with 22 seconds left in the first 2-minute overtime, putting Sacramento up 92-89. But the Kings fouled Devin Cannady with 6.2 seconds left, and he swished all three free throws to tie it.
Ellis missed a short jumper with a second left in OT, and Cannady nearly won the game there with a 60-foot heave that bounced off the rim. That sent the teams to a second overtime, sudden death, first score wins.
Banchero was called for a foul on the first Sacramento possession and the Kings would have gone to the line to shoot free throws — but after a lengthy review, the call was overturned. Orlando got the ball, Banchero found Terry down low, and the Magic got their winner.
“This was one of the most fun games I’ve ever been a part of,” Cannady said. “I’ve played in the NCAA Tournament, obviously I’ve played in NBA games, but this was basketball at its purest.”
Banchero scored 23 points for the Magic and had six rebounds, six assists and four steals. Admiral Schofield scored 14 points for Orlando.
Neemias Queta topped Sacramento with 23 points. Keegan Murray, the No. 4 pick, scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Queta hit the first 3-pointer in the final moments of regulation to give Sacramento a chance, and Murray made the tying one with two-tenths of a second remaining.
RAPTORS 97, 76ERS 77
Armoni Brooks made five 3-pointers and scored 25 points, Delano Banton added 21 and Toronto breezed to a victory over Philadelphia.
Christian Koloko, the Raptors’ only pick in this year’s draft, added 12 points and seven rebounds. The No. 33 overall pick added three steals and three blocks.
Isaiah Joe buried 7 of 9 shots from 3-point range, scoring 24 points to pace the Sixers.
HEAT 88, CELTICS 78
Mychal Mulder scored 23 points to help Miami beat Boston.
Mulder made 5 of 8 shots from 3-point range for the Heat. Serbia’s Nikola Jovic, the 27th overall selection and Miami’s only pick in the draft, missed two free throws and his only shot attempt. He grabbed four rebounds in just under 14 minutes of action.
Matt Ryan topped Boston with 15 points, and Mfiondu Kabengele had 14. JD Davison, the Celtics’ only pick in the draft (53rd overall), finished with 10 points, six rebounds and six assists.
PISTONS 105, WIZARDS 99
Isaiah Livers scored 20 points in Detroit’s victory over Washington.
Jalen Duren, the 13th overall pick whom the Pistons acquired in a draft-day trade with Charlotte, had 13 points and six rebounds. Jaden Ivey, the fifth overall selection, scored 11 points in a little over five minutes of action before leaving because of a sprained right ankle.
Jordan Schakel had 24 points, and Jordan Goodwin had 20 to pace Washington. Johnny Davis — the 10th overall pick — finished with six points and five rebounds.
JAZZ 72, HAWKS 66
Jared Butler had 15 points and seven assists to lead Utah past Atlanta.
Kofi Cockburn added 13 rebounds and six points for the Jazz.
Chaundee Brown Jr. scored 15 poins to lead Atlanta. Justin Tillman added 12. A.J. Griffin, the Hawks’ top pick at No. 16, did not play.
ROCKETS 90, THUNDER 88
No. 17 overall pick Tari Eason made the second of two free throws with 4.1 seconds left and Houston held off Oklahoma City.
Eason finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets. No. 3 overall pick Jabari Smith had 12 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Josh Christopher had 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists.
Jalen Williams, one of OKC’s three first-round draft picks, topped the Thunder with 15 points. No. 2 overall pick Chet Holmgren had 12 points, eight rebounds and four blocks. Ousmane Dieng — the 11th overall selection acquired in a trade with the Knicks — added 10 points and six rebounds.
CLIPPERS 94, GRIZZLIES 76
Reggie Perry had 17 points and Brandon Boston Jr. scored 15 to lead Los Angeles past Memphis.
Second-rounder Moussa Diabate, the Clippers’ only pick in the draft, had 10 points and six rebounds.
Kenneth Lofton Jr. topped Memphis with 18 points. First-round pick David Roddy had 10.
TRAIL BLAZERS 85, PELICANS 68
Trendon Watford had 17 points, 11 rebounds and five assists to power Portland past New Orleans.
Second-round pick Jabari Walker finished with 12 points and five rebounds for the Trail Blazers.
Trey Murphy III had 23 points, eight rebounds and four steals for the Pelicans. No. 8 overall pick Dyson Daniels missed all five of his shots and 1 of 2 free throws. Second-rounder E.J. Liddell scored two points on 1-for-6 shooting.

Millions ‘eating worse food and showering less as the costs soar’
Nearly all households are facing a squeeze from runaway inflation, a report has found
More than four million UK households are in serious financial difficulties and have resorted to buying lower-quality food, selling possessions and cutting back on showers to make ends meet.
A new report found that an additional 1.6 million households reported being in financial difficulty since October last year as the cost-of-living crisis worsened.
Abrdn Financial Fairness Trust and the University of Bristol found that 4.4 million households are now struggling.
Households earning more than £100,000 a year were the only group who did not report an increase in serious hardship.
It shows that soaring inflation is hitting lower and middle-income families the hardest.
Most respondents are trying to tackle rising energy bills. Some are reducing the number of showers and baths they take and others are using the oven less.
Three fifths of respondents said they had avoided turning on the heating while a quarter (24%) said they heated only part of their home in efforts to cut costs.
While 71% said they have reduced the quality of food they eat, over a third (36%) have sold or pawned possessions and 27% have cancelled or not renewed insurance policies.
The survey of around 6,000 people between May 25 and June 6 shows the real-world impact on living standards as wages fail to keep pace with the rate of inflation, squeezing hard-pressed families.
“This is the first substantial deterioration we have seen since tracking people’s finances when the pandemic started,” said Abrdn Financial Fairness Trust boss Mubin Haq.
“Wages have largely stagnated and are no longer keeping pace with inflation; and social security is lower in real terms than it was over a decade ago.
“A more comprehensive and longer-term plan is urgently needed to ensure living standards do not sink even further.”
Many families lost household income during the pandemic as they changed jobs, were made redundant, or had to take furlough.
Despite this, the hit to households in recent months has been worse, the survey suggests.
The cost-of-living crisis is hitting some groups harder than others. Single parents, renters and parents with two children are facing the greatest rise in financial difficulty.
There are also regional disparities as households in Wales, Scotland, and the north east of England report higher levels of serious financial difficulty than the UK average.
Experts warn government support measures – like the £150 council tax rebate announced in March – may not be reaching those who need it the most.
The survey found a similar proportion of households in serious financial difficulties reported receiving the rebate as those feeling financially secure, at 40% compared to 41%.
“Times are tough for everyone, but it’s those on the lowest incomes who are particularly feeling the effects of rising prices,” Mr Haq said.
A Government spokesperson said: “We understand that people are struggling with rising prices which is why we have acted to protect the eight million most vulnerable British families through at least £1,200 of direct payments this year with additional support for pensioners and those claiming disability benefits.
“Through our £37 billion support package we are also saving the typical employee over £330 a year through this month’s National Insurance cut, allowing people on Universal Credit to keep £1,000 more of what they earn and cutting fuel duty by 5p – the biggest ever cut to fuel duty rates which saves a typical family £100.”

RECALL: Cookie packages sold at Target may contain wrong cookies
(NEXSTAR) — Favorite Day’s Lavender Shortbread Cookies, which are sold at Target stores nationwide, are being recalled by owner J&M Foods because some product may contain the wrong cookies — and undisclosed allergens.
J&M Foods is recalling Favorite Day 7 ounce Lavender Shortbread packages with UPC code 0-85239-28609-8 and lot code BB 18-Apr-2023. The company says about 1,464 units may contain chocolate chip cookies instead of shortbread cookies. Because of this, potential allergens like soy and eggs are not listed on the packaging.
Target is aware of the issue and has removed the product from stock both in-store and online, J&M Foods says. This particular product is the only Favorite Day item affected.
The company says there haven’t been any allergic reactions reported. If you have any questions, you can call J&M Foods at (800) 264-2278 for a refund. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2658802730914/recall-cookie-packages-sold-at-target-may-contain-wrong-cookies | 2022-07-10T23:41:13Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2658802730914/recall-cookie-packages-sold-at-target-may-contain-wrong-cookies | true | null |
Heavy flames engulfed the more than 388-year-old historic Veranda House hotel early Saturday morning on Nantucket, and Massachusetts fire officials are investigating.
The extensive damage caused the Veranda House and the nearby Chapman House to close, the hotels' parent company Nantucket Resort Collection said in a written statement.
The fire started at 6:46 a.m. Saturday. Hours later, part of the building collapsed, and smoke was still rising high enough to be seen from the ferry.
Nantucket police released aerial footage Sunday of smoke rising from the roof of the smoldering building just the day before.
Nantucket police thanked the public, hospital staff, and Cape and Islands community for jumping into action.
"It was truly incredible to see the selflessness and quick action of so many to help our community," the Nantucket Police Department posted on Facebook.
An off-duty fire captain and civilians helped get guests out of the building and save lives, according to Nantucket's fire chief.
The interim president and CEO of Nantucket Cottage Hospital also said the swift response of firefighters and emergency personnel saved many lives Saturday.
U.S. & World
Jeanette Ives Erickson additionally credited the selfless actions of several civilians nearby.
Locals looked to lend immediate support. Everyone who was staying in the hotel on Step Lane was accounted for and has been put up in other hotels on the island.
"It was just heartbreaking news," said Nate Barret, the manager of a neighboring hotel. "Then we all kind of got together and tried to help out and everybody in the neighborhood and downtown started showing up with clothes, food."
All three floors were on fire when fire crews arrived, and the flames were too big for firefighters to enter the 18-room hotel, officials said. When the fire started, only five firefighters were on duty.
Two firefighters were taken to a nearby hospital for possible heat exhaustion and one firefighter was being treated for a back injury.
Erickson confirmed to NBC10 Boston later Saturday that "several individuals were treated at Nantucket Cottage Hospital for injuries sustained while responding to the fire at Veranda House hotel."
The hotel was a total loss, as well as two neighboring homes, fire officials said.
"It's a bad fire in a wooden town and you always worry about the spread of the fire," said Dr. Tim Lepore, who tended to the firefighters' primary needs, like oxygen, and helped set up a triage.
He works at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, where Erickson works as the interim president. She aided firefighters as soon as she arrived.
"We began by helping them to hydrate, putting ice packs on them, taking their vital signs, to make sure they were safe to work," she said.
Firefighters from the Cape, including Hyannis and Yarmouth, caught high-speed ferries to provide relief to their fellow firemen.
"The thing I said to my husband is, we're on vacation having the best day of our life while somebody else is having potentially the worst day of their life," one visitor said.
Dating to the 1600s, the Veranda House is one of several hotels owned by the Nantucket Resort Collection.
"The safety and security of our guests, team, and community is our top priority and we will continue to work closely with emergency responders and safety authorities," the hotel posted in a written statement on Saturday. "The Veranda House team is deeply grateful to the Nantucket Fire Department and first responders for their quick action taken during this incident."
July is peak season on Nantucket, one of Massachusetts' top tourist destinations, and its hotels are frequently booked all summer. | https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/national-international/massive-fire-destroys-historic-hotel-in-heart-of-nantucket-new-video-and-details/2990761/ | 2022-07-10T23:46:18Z | https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/national-international/massive-fire-destroys-historic-hotel-in-heart-of-nantucket-new-video-and-details/2990761/ | true | 11 |
NEW YORK — A year after Shohei Ohtani became baseball’s first two-way All-Star, the Los Angeles Angels sensation did it again.
Ohtani was picked for the American League pitching staff on Sunday as a Major League Baseball selection, two days after he was elected by fans to start at designated hitter.
Pitchers Clay Holmes, Gerrit Cole and Nestor Cortes made the AL team from the Yankees along with catcher Jose Trevino, giving New York six All-Stars for the first time since 2011. Outfielders Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton were elected to start.
Defending AL champion Houston has five All-Stars, with pitchers Justin Verlander and Framber Valdez, outfielder Kyle Tucker and designated hitter Yordan Álvarez selected along with starting second baseman Jose Altuve. Álvarez went on the injured list Sunday because of right hand inflammation.
World Series champion Atlanta also has five. Pitcher Max Fried, catcher Travis d’Arnaud, shortstop Dansby Swanson and DH Willam Contreras joined elected outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr.

Contreras will be the NL’s DH in place of Philadelphia’s Bryce Harper, who was elected to start but broke his left thumb on June 25.
Contreras joins Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras as the first brothers in the same All-Star Game since Aaron and Bret Boone in 2003. They will be just the fifth brothers to start in an All-Star Game after Mort and Walker Cooper in 1942 and ‘43, Dixie and Harry Walker in 1947, Joe and Dom DiMaggio in 1949 and Roberto and Sandy Alomar Jr. in 1992.
Pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Tony Gonsolin were chosen from the Los Angeles Dodgers, who host the All-Star Game on July 19, joining starting outfielder Mookie Betts and shortstop Trea Turner. Kershaw was chosen by MLB and is a favorite to open on the mound for the NL, which has lost eight straight All-Star Games and 20 of the last 23 played to a decision.
The New York Mets, St. Louis and Toronto also have four All-Stars.
Seattle outfielder Julio Rodríguez was the lone rookie picked and at 21 is the youngest of this year’s All-Stars. There are 30 first-time All-Stars and Rodríguez, who debuted on April 8, is among 10 age 24 or younger.
Ohtani, the reigning AL MVP, is hitting .260 with 19 homers and 59 RBIs and is 8-4 with a 2.44 ERA, 111 strikeouts and 20 walks in 81 innings. He has won five consecutive starts and is coming off a Wednesday outing at Miami when he became the first player in major league history to strike out 10 batters, drive in two runs and steal a base.
In the AL’s 5-2 win last year at Colorado, Ohtani pitched a 1-2-3 first inning by retiring Fernando Tatis Jr., Max Muncy and Nolan Arenado, and grounded out twice.
Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera is the senior All-Star with 12 selections and St. Louis DH Albert Pujols is second with 11, both picks of baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred under a provision for career achievements in the new collective bargaining agreement.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is next with 10, followed by Kershaw and Verlander with nine apiece. Trout was picked for the ninth straight time.
AL pitchers elected to start by players included Cleveland’s Emmanuel Clase, Baltimore’s Jorge López, Toronto’s Alek Manoah, Tampa Bay’s Shane McClanahan along with Cole, Cortes, Holmes and Verlander.
NL pitchers picked by players were Miami’s Sandy Alcantara, Milwaukee’s Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader, the Mets’ Edwin Díaz, St. Louis’ Ryan Helsley and San Diego’s Joe Musgrove along with Fried and Gonsolin.
AL position players chosen by colleagues were Minnesota infielder Luis Arraez, Cleveland second baseman Andrés Giménez and third baseman José Ramírez, Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts and outfielders Byron Buxton of Minnesota and George Springer of Toronto along with Alvarez, Trevino and Tucker.
NL position players selected by players were Mets first baseman Pete Alonso and outfielder Starling Marte, St. Louis third baseman Nolan Arenado and outfielders Kyle Schwarber of Philadelphia and Ian Happ of the Chicago Cubs along with d’Arnaud, Contreras and Swanson.
MLB called in seven AL players, with Ohtani, Rodríguez and Valdez joined by pitchers Paul Blackburn of Oakland, Gregory Soto of Detroit and Martín Pérez of Texas along with Kansas City outfielder Andrew Benintendi.
MLB’s NL choices included Pittsburgh’s David Bednar, Cincinnati’s Luis Castillo, Arizona’s Joe Mantiply and Kershaw for the pitching staff along with Colorado first baseman C.J. Cron and Washington outfielder Juan Soto.
At least one player must be included from all 30 teams. Twenty-eight All-Stars were born outside the 50 states. | https://lacrossetribune.com/ohtani-a-2-way-all-star-again/article_e7484af8-009d-11ed-8ad5-638e167cc5e7.html | 2022-07-10T23:48:49Z | https://lacrossetribune.com/ohtani-a-2-way-all-star-again/article_e7484af8-009d-11ed-8ad5-638e167cc5e7.html | true | 16 |
NAPLES, Italy (WAVY) — An F/A-18 Super Hornet was blown off the flight deck of the Norfolk-based USS Harry S. Truman, according to the Navy.
The accident happened on Friday in the Mediterranean Sea while the carrier was conducting a replenishment-at-sea, a way of refueling ship-to-ship. Navy officials said the incident happened during unexpectedly heavy weather,
All personnel aboard the ship are accounted for, however, one sailor was injured. The sailor’s injuries were described as “minor” and they are expected to make a full recovery.
Officials say the carrier remains mission capable.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Authorities say a couple kept a cache of weapons and lived with their two small children at a northern Nevada children’s museum.
KRNV-TV in Reno reported Friday that a 41-year-old janitor at the Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada was arrested late last week. He has been charged with child neglect and weapons-related offenses.
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office says officials realized the family was living in the museum after the man’s 2-year-old child was discovered walking nearby unsupervised.
Another sibling then gave the museum as their address. The children’s mother was a museum manager and both parents have been fired.
The museum’s board issued an apology and has closed temporarily while they find a new manager.
The Sheriff’s Office and the museum did not immediately respond to Nexstar’s requests for comment. | https://www.wsav.com/news/family-found-living-with-weapons-in-nevada-childrens-museum/ | 2022-07-10T23:58:42Z | https://www.wsav.com/news/family-found-living-with-weapons-in-nevada-childrens-museum/ | true | null |
Opinion
In the world versus Nick Kyrgios, the world won
Greg Baum
Sports columnistWhen you consider the conspiracy against Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final, you can see that he never stood a chance.
There was the umpire, of course. There’s always the umpire. This one gave him a warning and also lacked authority. We have that on Kyrgios’ own unimpeachable authority, delivered courtside.
There was the crowd, which made too much noise. There was his so-called box, the enclosure where his entourage sit, which did not make enough noise. Point after point after point, they were remiss. They choked. He kept telling them how they had failed him, using a Tourette’s-like command of language.
There was one spectator in particular, a woman heckler, who Kyrgios estimated had “700 drinks”. Kyrgios tried to have her removed. Can’t have loudmouths at the tennis, you see. Especially not Wimbledon.
There might have been linespeople and ball kids, regular plotters against him, but on this day somehow, none of them caused trouble for Kyrgios. Maybe their union jacked up.
There might have been his coach, except he doesn’t have one. There was the media, obviously.
There was Novak Djokovic. Much as he might have been seen as an incidental in the prelude and a prop in the unfolding, he is a pretty handy tennis player.
Round out his moral authority, he’s a peer to the Son of God. For this, we have his father’s authority. At the height of the visa debacle before the Australian Open this year, Srdjan Djokovic said his son had been crucified like Jesus, but like Jesus, he would win in the end. He’s right, you know. But there is a bit of a trend towards persecution complexes in tennis.
Whoever’s fault it was for Kyrgios losing Wimbledon, it wasn’t his. This part might be true. For long stretches during a high-standard final, Kyrgios played the best he could play.
Yes, the gimmicks were there, but so was shot-making on the sort of sublime plane that makes people thrilled to watch him and, at the same time, despair that it hasn’t led to a more fruitful career. It was just that Djokovic was at the other end – and even he had to reach deep into his 20 majors’ worth of winning kit to weather the Kyrgios blast.
So it wasn’t about Kyrgios, and yet it was, because it nearly always is.
For a set and a half, he had the better of Djokovic, and all while barely making a squeak. Here was a good and perhaps winning idea: disrupt the tennis by playing tennis.
Djokovic is as good an in-game strategist as tennis has seen, but it didn’t matter as long as he couldn’t get Kyrgios’ serve back over the net. Kyrgios did to him what he does to the world generally; he wrong-footed him. Anything seemed possible then.
And one thing was probable – or, you might even say, inevitable. At key moments towards the end of the second and third sets, Kyrgios couldn’t keep his shit together. The brilliant shots were his doing, the losing points (some despite brilliant shots) were all the fault of his box, the umpire, disrespectful fans, etc, etc. Of all Kyrgios’ tics, box-blaming is quite the strangest.
If he had shaken his head one more time then, it might have come off. Actually, he nearly did lose it.
The tennis he and Djokovic played was still exquisite, but the soundtrack now was one long growly Kyrgios whine. He seethed, incurred a warning, and burned emotional energy.
All the while, Djokovic was figuring him out. The guy has winning records against nearly everyone, including Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal over long, long rivalries. He’s seen and heard it all before, from Kyrgios, from pre-Kyrgios prototypes. He read his way into the match while Kyrgios talked himself out of it.
The fulcrum of the final was the ninth game of the third set. From 40-0 up on serve for a 5-4 lead, Kyrgios lost nine points in a row, the set and his way, mumbling and grumbling as he went. To be fair, on the scale of Kyrgios meltdowns, this was a blip. But to beat Djokovic, he had to channel his energies wholly towards Djokovic. It will surprise no one that he didn’t.
In the fourth set, Kyrgios calmed down and his tennis was again the equal of Djokovic’s all the way through to the tie-breaker. But the mountain had become too high.
So two cheers to Kyrgios for his Wimbledon. The sheer genius of his tennis gets him to two. It can never be three, should never be three, for a so-called sportsman who routinely abuses officials and volunteers as part of his schtick. A smiling wisecrack about the “tough relationship” at the post-tournament presentation ceremony doesn’t put that instantly right.
Will Kyrgios ever win a major? Outright talent says he can. We’ll be watching. You have to watch. He’s compelling. But it’s hard to care as much as we did for, say, Ash Barty.
After all, Kyrgios says he doesn’t care. But doesn’t he? I don’t buy it altogether. He would not put himself through his seeming agonies for kicks. Before and after the final, he affected to be unconcerned about whether he makes it back. He said it to Djokovic.
But what else will he do? If he’s going to play tennis at all, he might as well fulfil himself at it. First, though, he will have to stop pointing the finger at everyone else.
Final over, Kyrgios donned a red cap for the presentation. It was the full Kyrgios. He’s probably right about the stuffiness of Wimbledon’s dress code, but on this day, it made him look daft at best, petulant at worst.
And for the record, when repeated often enough, “OK Boomer” starts to sound OK.

Alexander Georgiev signed a three-year deal with the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday, completing the final step toward making him the defending Stanley Cup champions ' starting goaltender in their title defense.
Georgiev's contract is worth $10.2 million and carries an annual salary cap hit of $3.4 million. He replaces Cup winner Darcy Kuemper and is expected to play in tandem with veteran backup Pavel Francouz next season.
Colorado acquired Georgiev from the New York Rangers on Thursday for third- and a fifth-round picks this year and a third-rounder in 2023.
Asked Thursday night at the NHL draft if he expected Georgiev to start, general manager Joe Sakic replied: “We do, yeah. Yeah. That’s why we did it."
He was expecting to get a contract done soon with Georgiev, who was set to be a restricted free agent.
“When he was a starter, he played really well, and he wanted a bigger opportunity and he’s got that opportunity,” Sakic added. “He’s looking forward to the challenge. What I like about it, he played in a big market. He was in New York. He can deal with a lot of that stuff. We’re excited for him.”
The Avalanche also re-signed defenseman Jacob MacDonald to a two-year contract.
Georgiev, 26, has a 2.94 goals-against average and .908 save percentage in 129 regular-season NHL games. He went 28-15-10 with a 2.92 GAA and .898 save percentage last season.
“Alex, he was a priority for us: We like his age, we’re a younger team and we felt we can have him for a number of years,” Sakic said. "He’s a guy that from our scouting to our analytics department that we all see a lot of upside. And he’s proven it that when he’s staring and playing a lot of games, that’s when he’s at his best.”
The Avalanche getting Georgiev and pushing Kuemper toward free agency set off a domino effect of goalie moves around the league. Minnesota re-signed Marc-Andre Fleury, Toronto cleared cap space for another move by sending Petr Mrazek to Chicago Detroit got Ville Husso from St. Louis and Washington traded Vitek Vanecek to New Jersey.

The outlook for the first half (H1) of the current fiscal is “robust”, regardless of the disruptions, with chief executive officers expecting improvement in job opportunities and revenues. This comes at a time of expectations of pervasive monetary tightening due to inflation, according to a survey.
About 78% of the CEOs polled expected job creation in their companies to be better, while 16% anticipated “no change” and 6% believed it to be worse than the comparable period of last financial year, a poll of 136 CEOs by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), said.
Nearly 44% said their firms’ revenue growth would be 10-20%, while another 32% foresaw a bigger jump of over 20%, compared with H1 of last year. This optimism was echoed on the profits front too, with 45% indicating their companies’ profit was likely to rise by over 10%, while 40% believed it may be “slightly” lower or up to 10%.
“The … results clearly demonstrate the resilience of Indian industry and the positive business performance outlook both on domestic as well as exports front despite challenges of high inflation leading to monetary tightening, rising input prices and uncertain global economic conditions,” CII director General Chandrajit Banerjee said.
In H1, the rising input prices would affect profits by 5-10% according to 46% of CEOs polled, while another 28% expect the hit to be bigger by about 10-20%. Only 43% indicated they had hiked output prices in the recent months to accommodate the rise in input costs, and 57% said they had absorbed the increase, of which 30% said they improved efficiency thereby reducing output costs.
Nearly half of them (48%) foresaw inflation to be in the range of 7-8% in H1 of FY23. In terms of high input prices and inflation, nearly two thirds (64%) were of the view that state governments must act to reduce value added tax on fuel after the cut in excise duty by the central government in May.
According to 57% of the CEOs, GDP growth is expected to be in the range of 7-8%, while only 34% expect it to be below 7%. On the demand front, about half of the CEOs (49%) felt rural demand would be better in H1 FY23.
A majority of the CEOs (55%) expected a further depreciation in rupee (rupee to be at 80 to a dollar) in H1, which would benefit exports, while on the imports front, 50% indicated mild-to-moderate disruption in supply of inputs.
On the impact of the recent ge-political developments and Covid-19 related lockdowns in China, 30% revealed they have faced moderate supply chain disruptions but have diversified away from China to some extent. On the positive side, 23% of the CEOs see opportunities during these disruptions in terms of enhanced exports or new export opportunities. | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/outlook-for-h1-robust-says-cii-survey-of-ceos/2589400/ | 2022-07-11T00:18:11Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/outlook-for-h1-robust-says-cii-survey-of-ceos/2589400/ | false | 1 |
SpiceJet chairman and managing director Ajay Singh has said that the low-cost carrier has got approval from banks and shareholders to hive off its cargo and logistics arm, SpiceXpress. The division will be completed by the first week of August.
In August 2021, SpiceJet had announced the transfer of its cargo and logistics services on a slump-sale basis, along with all the related assets and liabilities, including know-how, trademark, licenses, franchises, customer contracts and distribution network, to its subsidiary SpiceXpress, subject to all the requisite approvals. The move was aimed at enabling SpiceXpress to grow rapidly and raise capital independent of SpiceJet.
On July 5, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued a show-cause notice to SpiceJet over technical snags, flagging safety oversight, inadequate maintenance and payment-related shortage of spares.
There have been at least eight technical malfunction incidents involving the airline’s aircraft over the past three weeks, including three on July 5 alone.
“We have got the shareholders’ approval for that (hiving off SpiceXpress from SpiceJet). We have got approval from our banks to do that. I think in the last phase… we should be done by the first week of next month,” a PTI report quoted Singh as saying. “It will be a separate company called SpiceXpress. It will be owned by SpiceJet but it will be a separate company,” he added.
SpiceJet has been making losses for the last three years. From Rs 316 crore in 2018-19, its net loss increased to Rs 934 crore in 2019-20 and to Rs 998 crore in 2020-21. For the nine months ended December 2021, the net loss was Rs 1,267 crore.
However, SpiceXpress has been witnessing a growth in its revenues. On a sequential basis, the revenues increased from Rs 498 crore in Q2 FY22 to Rs 584 crore in Q3 FY22, registering a jump of 17%.
SpiceXpress has a network that spans over 68 domestic and over 110 international cities, including those in the US, Europe and Africa.
SpiceJet had said in August 2021 that the logistics business was valued at `2,555 crore “based on an independent valuation exercise” carried out by the company and “the purchase consideration for the same shall be discharged by SpiceXpress by issuance of shares of SpiceXpress to SpiceJet, subject to all approvals as may be required”.
Singh had said that the proposed transfer of the business to SpiceXpress will allow the new company to rapidly grow its innovative logistics platform.
“SpiceXpress will also be able to raise capital independent of SpiceJet to fund this growth. We are confident that the performance of SpiceXpress as an independent entity will leverage and unlock significant value for SpiceJet and all its shareholders,” he had added. | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/spicejet-gets-nod-to-hive-off-spicexpress-says-cmd-ajay-singh/2589325/ | 2022-07-11T00:18:17Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/spicejet-gets-nod-to-hive-off-spicexpress-says-cmd-ajay-singh/2589325/ | false | 1 |

Is Buying in Bulk Really Worth It?
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Prime Day Deals
Finding a great bulk deal on a quality item you like (or even love) can seem like something you can’t pass up, but is it really worth it? The answer depends on a variety of factors, but the important thing is to not get suckered into buying a whole lot of something that ultimately wastes your hard-earned money.

Be Aware: 11 Things You Should Never Buy at Walmart
Stores are in business to make money, and only you have your best financial interest at heart, so it pays to be savvy. To help you determine when buying in bulk is worth it and when it’s not, here’s some valuable advice.
When Buying in Bulk Is Worth It
You’re cruising the aisles of your favorite big-box store, trying to fill your cart with enough groceries to last your family a couple of weeks without breaking the bank, and you spot a great deal. However, you have to buy a large amount to get the deal. Is it worth it? Here’s what the experts had to say.
If You KNOW You Will Use the Items
“According to a recent survey conducted by TopCashback.com, the USA’s most generous cashback site, 31% plan to spend money on bulk-buying food and drinks this summer,” said Rebecca Gramuglia, consumer expert at TopCashback. “When it comes to buying items in bulk, if you use the item — it’s worth it. For example, if you’re hosting summer barbecues, you may opt to buy items like cutlery, napkins, hot dogs and hamburgers in bulk.”
Consumer analyst Julie Ramhold with DealNews said that while some bulk items will keep for a while, others will go bad if you don’t use them.
“Something frozen like pizzas, veggies, fruits, even desserts are all fine to purchase in bulk as long as you have the room to store them because they’ll stay good for a decent amount of time,” she said. “However, if you’re looking at things like breads from the bakery, fresh produce, or dairy, you want to be sure that you have plans for the items, or that you’ll at least use them before they have a chance to go off.”

If You Have Room To Store the Items
“You may find buying in bulk to be worth it as long as you have room to store the items,” said Gramuglia. “So whether they’re non-perishable items that you can store on shelves or perishable goods that you’ll eat, having space for the products is another important factor when shopping. Regardless, if it’s a food product, check the expiration date and make sure you’ll use/freeze the items by that date.”
If the Unit Price Is Less Than You Can Find Elsewhere
“Buying in bulk can be worth it for households of all sizes as long as they’re savvy about their shopping habits,” Ramhold said. “The times it’ll be really worth it is when the unit price is less than what you can find elsewhere.”
But this is just part of the equation.
“Never underestimate the power of marketing,” said Alec Pow, CEO at The Pricer. “Just because something is sold in bulk at a considerably lower price than the per-piece cost, it doesn’t mean that you’re actually getting a great deal.”
When Buying in Bulk Is Not Worth It
In theory, it’s easy to justify buying in bulk, but sometimes it’s just not worth it. Here’s when you should opt out of bulk buying.
If You Have No Real Justification for Buying the Item
“It won’t be worth it to buy things in bulk if the only interesting thing about them is the price,” Pow said. He added that it’s best to avoid bulk buys if you find the products by accident but you have no real need to use them — or if you are required to buy more than you’d be able to use before they expire.
If the Cost Per Unit Doesn’t Help You Save
“While stocking up on products may seem like the cheaper option, that may not always be the case,” said Gramuglia. “Analyze the cost per unit and see if it’s worth buying large quantities that you will actually use. For example, loose apples may be cheaper than purchasing a grouped bag. Also, beware of ten-for-$10 deals — you can usually buy less than ten items and still receive the discount (i.e. buy three items for $3).”
If You’re Unsure You’ll Like the Product
Smarts found Brian Meiggs said, “If the goal is to try a new product, it may not be worth buying a large quantity of something that may not end up being used or liked. In these instances, purchasing a smaller size or just enough for single use might be better.”
If You Have To Go out of Your Way To Buy in Bulk
“Your time is valuable, too, and it may not be worth making regular trips to a bulk store if it isn’t close or convenient,” said Annie Hanson, financial coach and owner of Mindfully Money. “Plus, you might end up spending more on gas than you save by purchasing the bulk item.”
Other Tips for Buying in Bulk
“Remember you can buy more than just what you need,” said Tanya Peterson, vice president of brand with Freedom Financial Network. “You may find it worthwhile to share large purchases with family members, neighbors or friends.” She added, “Bulk buying can be worthwhile at locations other than warehouse clubs, too. You can find great prices at farms, orchards and farmers’ markets when buying larger quantities (think bushels of fruit). Traditional retail stores often will be able to provide bulk pricing upon request for certain items, too.”
Finally, Hanson had one more piece of advice to keep in mind when comparing bulk purchases to individual. “Don’t forget that coupons and sales can often make the unit price of a regular item lower than that of the bulk item,” she said. “And the cost of shipping or a membership can make the unit price higher.”

Are you tired of constantly turning down the thermostat as you watch the temperature rise? Here are a few ways to keep your house cool this summer.
Is the AC not entirely cutting it for you in the summer? Do you wish there was a way you could cool down the house without turning down the thermostat? This blog is full of innovative ways to keep your home cool this summer.
Utilize Ceiling Fans
It’s no secret that air movement keeps us at a cooler temperature during the warmer months. Ceiling fans are a great resource to keep the air moving around us without having to bump the thermostat to a lower temp. In the summer, run your fan counterclockwise to draw the cold air up and circulate.
Another trick is to run the exhaust fans in your bathrooms. These little fans will help expel the rising warm air outside your house.
Keep the Blinds Closed
Any windows that receive direct sunlight should have blinds or blackout curtains. Keep these fixtures closed during the sunniest part of the day to prevent the sun’s heat from sneaking through.
Turn the blinds on windows in the lower levels of your home upward.
Upgrade to a Programmable Thermostat
Upgrading to a programmable thermostat can save you money on your energy bills and keep you cool during the summer months. If you work away from home during the day, program the device to keep your home at a higher temp and then start the cool down before you come back. Your home will be at a comfortable temperature when you arrive, and you won’t waste energy all day.
Install Mini-Splits
Mini-splits are incredibly popular in Europe. They’re a mix between a wall unit and a built-in unit. These devices are whisper-quiet and won’t detract from your décor with their sleek design and compact size. These are great if you have a significantly warmer room in your home.
Check Your Insulation
As many individuals believe, insulation isn’t only for keeping your house warm during the winter. It also helps keep your home comfortable during the summer. If you notice that your HVAC system runs often, it could potentially be because your insulation is not functioning correctly. Spray foam insulation will be your best option to help save you money and keep your house comfortable all year.
As you can see, staying cool indoors isn’t about continuing to turn down the thermostat. There are other innovative ways to keep your house cool in the summer months. Feel free to utilize one or more of these tips to help combat the heat. | https://milwaukeecourieronline.com/index.php/2022/07/08/innovative-ways-to-keep-your-house-cool-this-summer/ | 2022-07-11T01:00:59Z | https://milwaukeecourieronline.com/index.php/2022/07/08/innovative-ways-to-keep-your-house-cool-this-summer/ | false | 1 |

1 injured, 1 arrested in Lake City drive-by shooting
SEATTLE - A 14-year-old was injured in a drive-by shooting in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood early Sunday morning.
Seattle Police say they were called to 113th St and Lake City Way around 12:30 a.m. to reports of gunfire. Officers found a 14-year-old in a nearby business who ran there after being shot in the arm.
Several bullet casings were found in the area, up to three blocks away.
While the victim was taken to the hospital, witnesses told officers they saw two groups of teenagers driving in cars and shooting guns out the windows. Another group of alleged shooters ran into a nearby apartment.
Officers surrounded the apartment and called out the occupants, but witnesses could not identify the suspects.
One occupant was booked into jail for assault and firearms violation warrants, and two loaded AR-15-style rifles and magazines were recovered. It is unknown if they were connected to the shooting.

The Secretary of Public Security of Foz do Iguaçu, Marcos Antonio Jahnke, lamented the death and said that the Civil Police will investigate the motivations for the crime. “From what we realized it was political intolerance,” said the secretary.
The Municipality of Foz do Iguaçu said, in a statement, that Marcelo Arruda was from the first group of the Municipal Guard and had been in the corporation for 28 years. The guard was also director of the Union of Municipal Employees of Foz do Iguaçu (Sismufi).
“We would like to thank Marcelo Arruda for all his dedication and commitment to the Municipality, which in these 28 years of civil service he has bravely defended, both acting in the security and defense of municipal servers. We wish Marcelo’s family, friends and colleagues strength in this moment of pain”, said Mayor Chico Brasileiro.
Birthday party themed
The birthday party celebrated Marcelo Arruda’s 50th birthday and had as its theme the Workers’ Party and former President Lula. The celebration was held at the headquarters of the Associação Esportiva Saúde Física Itaipu, in Vila A.

The incident report informs that Guaranho arrived at the scene by car and that a woman and a baby were also in the vehicle.
According to the document, he got out of the car, armed, shouting: “Here is Bolsonaro!”. According to the bulletin, the criminal police officer was not known to anyone at the party and was not invited.
The document mentions that the policeman left the place, but returned about twenty minutes later, alone and armed.
The incident report cites that Guaranho shot twice at the municipal guard, who retaliated and shot the criminal police officer.
In a statement, the PT in Paraná regretted the death of the treasurer and said that it provides assistance to the victim’s family and that it will monitor all investigations.
“An attack against life, an attack against freedom of expression, an attack against democracy”, said the PT-PR.
The Workers’ Party also manifested itself and, in a statement, acknowledged this Sunday the performance of Marcelo Arruda. In 2020, the municipal guard was a candidate for vice mayor of Foz do Iguaçu by the acronym.
“We demand from the public security authorities effective measures to prevent and combat political violence, and we alert the Superior Electoral Court and the Federal Supreme Court to firmly restrain any and all situations that feed a climate of violent dispute outside the frameworks of democracy and Civility. Initiatives in this sense were duly pointed out by the PT on several occasions, together with the National Congress, the Public Ministry and the Judiciary”, said the party. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/11/body-of-pt-treasurer-killed-by-bolsonaro-supporter-is-veiled-in-foz-do-iguacu-west-and-southwest/ | 2022-07-11T01:18:11Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/11/body-of-pt-treasurer-killed-by-bolsonaro-supporter-is-veiled-in-foz-do-iguacu-west-and-southwest/ | true | 2 |
The Colorado Avalanche announced today that they signed their newest goaltending acquisition Alexandar Georgiev to a 3-year extension worth $3.4 million per year.
A three-year deal: INKED ✍️#GoAvsGo pic.twitter.com/OOsYJzvGwP
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) July 10, 2022
With Darcy Kuemper headed to free agency, general manager of the year Joe Sakic traded three draft picks in the 3rd and 5th round of the 2022 NHL Draft and another 3rd rounder in next year’s 2023 draft to acquire the former New York Rangers goalie from Bulgaria.
Georgiev, a restricted free agent before this signing, put up a 15-10-2 record over the course of 2021-22 with a 2.92 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage with two shutouts. In his career, he holds a record of 58-48-11 with a 2.94 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage.
Making this trade was taking a swing at the upside in the most volatile position in the sport. However, when he was given consistent starts with the Rangers, he proved to be the goaltender that Sakic sees he can be. The 26-year-old is going into the prime of his career with a brand new contract and the guarantee of more starts. There’s plenty to be excited about from both sides in this deal. With this signing, the Avalanche have around $20 million left in cap room for the offseason. | https://www.milehighhockey.com/2022/7/10/23203028/nhl-free-agency-news-colorado-avalanche-sign-alexandar-georgiev-to-3-year-deal | 2022-07-11T01:18:34Z | https://www.milehighhockey.com/2022/7/10/23203028/nhl-free-agency-news-colorado-avalanche-sign-alexandar-georgiev-to-3-year-deal | true | 1 |
Constant graffitiing of a stretch of highway in Tauranga is "downgrading the city" says one local, who is calling for the culprits to be caught.
Graeme Devereaux is fed up with seeing the tagging along State Highway 2 each day, when he drops his children at school.
The vandalism happens along walls in 15th Ave at the start of SH2 and a large concrete wall further along SH2 in Takitimu Drive.
"It seems to be graffitied once every couple of weeks and then the council go along and paint it out and then it happens again, it's like a loop," Devereaux told Local Democracy Reporting.

Advertise with NZME."It downgrades the city. I mean, who wants to go to a city with tagging and graffiti all over the place, who wants to live in a city like that?
"Something needs to be done to try and catch the culprits."
He suggested installing cameras along that stretch to try to identify the vandals.
"I hope that something is done and not in the distant future, but in the near future. Otherwise it'll just keep on going, and it'll get worse.
"When I first came to Tauranga it was never like this, we didn't have anywhere near as much graffiti as what we've got at the moment," said Devereaux, who has lived in Tauranga for 10 years.
"It's on the motorway columns, overpasses, it's all over the place. There's graffiti on people's fences.
"The city looks terrible. Graffiti is ruining the city."
He was concerned about the cost of having to constantly paint out the tags.

Advertise with NZME."They must be spending huge amounts of money paying these people to go paint this graffiti out, only to find that in a few days' time or a week's time it's back.
"So, wouldn't it be cheaper to put cameras up there to try and catch these people?"
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Bay of Plenty system manager Roger Brady said the agency was aware a section of Takitimu Drive was often targeted by graffiti.
"All graffiti in urban Tauranga is removed by Tauranga City Council contractors on our behalf," said Brady.
He said Waka Kotahi does not hold information on the sites, dates or times that graffiti was cleaned around the region.
When asked if the agency had considered the use of cameras as a deterrent for vandals, Brady replied: "Waka Kotahi does not currently fund the installation of additional CCTV cameras on the network for graffiti monitoring purposes."

Advertise with NZME."Current funding is allocated to existing CCTV assets that play an important part in ensuring the safety and efficiency of the Tauranga and wider Bay of Plenty state highway network.
"We respond to road safety issues as a priority, for instance potholes and other surfacing issues. Whilst unsightly, graffiti is not considered a road user safety issue."
Tauranga City Council transport director Brendan Bisley said the cost of removing graffiti depended on the size and location of the vandalism, and whether traffic management was needed to remove it safely.
Bisley said the council had a budget of $180,000 a year to provide graffiti removal services.
"Graffiti, or tagging, is a serious crime that affects the whole community, and requires a strong community response," he said.
"The best way people can take action against tagging is by cleaning it up as soon as possible."

Advertise with NZME.The council provided a free graffiti removal service for residential and small business owners who were unable to remove it themselves, said Bisley.
To be eligible for the service, the graffiti must be visible from the road, he said.
Local Democracy Reporting asked Bisley what to do if people see graffiti or someone tagging.
If people see graffiti that was racist or contained offensive language, they should call the council immediately on 07 577 7000, he said.
"We also ask people to call us if they see graffiti on council-owned assets and infrastructure, including roads and highways.
"Graffiti on private businesses should be reported to the affected business for removal. Serious vandalism should be reported to Tauranga police," said Bisley.
"People who see vandalism taking place should not approach the offender. Rather, they should call 111 from a safe distance, and keep watching or take a photo if possible.

Advertise with NZME."The safety of our community is our primary concern and we encourage anyone who sees suspicious activity to phone 111 immediately," he said.
When asked to comment on whether graffiti was "downgrading the city", Bisley replied: "Working together to reduce vandalism in Tauranga helps to create a city we can all be proud of."

As guide Brandon Sargent eased his big guide boat out of the breakwaters at Sapphire Bay Marina on Lake Ray Hubbard, the sun was just beginning to light up the eastern sky. Mike Hall, the manager of the marina and I were eagerly anticipating the red hot crappie bite Brandon and his customers had been enjoying the past few days. Our plan was to get on the water early while the temperature was still pleasant, catch our fish and be back at dock my mid morning.
As we motored across the lake to one of Brandon’s many crappie hotspots, my mind began to rewind back to the days when I and Lake Ray Hubbard were young. As a transplanted kid from the country, my family and I moved to Mesquite in the early sixties and by the mid sixties, when Ray Hubbard was under construction, I would ride my scooter to the lake, single shot shotgun tied over my back by a rope, to hunt squirrels in a patch of woods that has been under 20 feet of water since the lake filled. I later worked as a surveyor on the construction of the power plant and spent many fun filed days with my young family fishing and boating on the lake. As a fledging outdoors writer, if fished with and wrote about well known guides of the time such as Johnny Procell and Weldon Bonner. Lake Ray Hubbard and I go way, way back. I remember when there were only a couple of marinas on the lake in the early days, Chalet Bay up on the north end and Rockwall Marina mid lake.
As we approached our first fishing spot, I heard the big engine on Brandon’s boat shutting down and the craft eased to a stop a few yards out from shore. I was suddenly in the here and now instead of daydreaming of pleasant memories decades past. It was go time and by the looks at all the crappie plotting on the graph, this was going to be good! Brandon buried his face in his sonar and positioned us over what appeared to be a huge tree laying on the bottom in water about 20 feet deep.
“Yesterday, we landed three limits of slab crappie from this one spot. Let’s see if they are still hungry.” says Brandon as we dropped live minnows into the huge school of crappie showing on the graph. There is something about an east wind that tends to put crappie on a ‘soft’ bite and such was the case this morning. Maybe it wasn’t the east wind at all! We fishermen have devised all sorts of ways to justify the conditions we encounter on a day to day basis. Regardless the reason, rather than the aggressive ‘strike’ of the previous day, crappie were nibbling and the only indication of a strike was usually a slight bounce of the rod tip. Thankfully, Brandon had rigged us with sensitive rods that allowed us to feel the very soft bite.
After losing a few baits to these tentative biting fish, Mike and I picked up on the proper technique and began setting the hook the instant I felt the bite, Brandon began catching fish immediately! Several times, the only indication of a biting fish was a slight movement of the line and a ‘heavy’ feel which is difficult to describe with words, it’s just a slight tension on the line that indicates a fish has taken the bait and holding it in its mouth, remaining stationary rather than swimming away.
Modern sonar is a marvelous thing and the Livescope on Brandon’s boat shows the fish below in real time. We could actually watch our minnows falling into the midst of what must have been hundreds or possibly thousands of crappie attracted by the cover provided by the big lay down log. It stands to reason the bite would come hard and fast as crappie competed for an easy meal dropped into their midst but not so. Our minnows seldom got attacked when in the middle of the schools but the minute we pulled them up just a foot or so above the school, invariably two or three fish would swim up and one would take the bait. Timing is very important when actually watching a fish take your bait and making the hook set, hand to eye coordination is taken to the next level. You are ‘feeling’ the bite the exact instance you are ‘watching’ the fish take your bait. The sensation is a bit weird, especially for a fisherman accustomed to setting the hook strictly by feel. With this advanced sonar, your brain is also registering what your eyes are seeing. I’ve fished with this ‘live action’ sonar enough to simply watch the screen but not actually make the hook set until I feel the fish.
Brandon’s boat slip has all the comforts of home including running water, electricity and comfortable chairs to relax and fish from. While my guide was cleaning the catch, I set out a couple of the light crappie rigs to see what might be biting. I almost lost one rod but grabbed it just before it went into the water. Surely a big catfish had taken the bait and the light line didn’t even slow him down.
This wasn’t my first time to fish with Brandon Sargent and his Lead Slingers Guide Service but it was my first time to join him at his new headquarters at Sapphire Bay Marina. He also does white bass trips on Ray Hubbard which are lots of fun but, when the crappie are on a steady bite as they are now, it’s time to stock the freezer!
For more information on fishing at Ray Hubbard, contact Brandon Sargent, Lead Slingers Guide Service at 469-989 1010 or through the Marina www.sapphirebaymarina.com .

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, the Apostle Paul writes to the church, “Rejoice, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” As Paul had stressed to the church in Rome, he wanted the Christians in Thessalonica to know you have glory in the fact that “From Him and through Him and to Him are all things. (Romans 11:36) Have you ever prayed for a lost friend or family member and over time your commitment to pray for them grew weary? Feelings of disappointment within you swell due to their indifferences, because they see no need for a savior, or they simply do not believe in God. The Greek word for “ceasing” is “adialeiptos” which literally means to “pray interruptedly and incessantly, without omission or intermission.” Let’s consider the gift of faith which comes from God and how we can be encouraged during these times.
As we saw earlier in Romans faith is the gift of God and this gift should encourage us to pray unceasingly even more so during times of disappointment. We must remember our responsibility is to sow the seeds of the gospel, but it is God who brings the harvest. I remember a dear friend and pastor sharing this analogy with me after a family member failed to respond to the message of Christ. He said suppose you have prepared for that family member a wonderful meal of all the things they love to eat. You set an eloquent table only to have them refuse to eat. How disappointing this would be. The point of the pastor’s story is that we can only give them the opportunity (set the table) they must make the choice (to partake). Some might say, what hope is there for these people? It relies on the sovereign, mysterious work of the Holy Spirit. God is calling us to pray without ceasing that the Holy Spirit will work in the hearts of our friends and loved ones who are lost and create that childlike faith to receive the Gospel.
Praying without ceasing may seem like an impossible task but if we think about it for a moment; when was the last time we had to think about taking a breath? God has given our bodies the ability to go on auto-pilot while we live, we can breathe and do many daily tasks. Prayer can be just as continuous as breathing. We don’t think about breathing when we carry on conversations with friends and family, the same is true with prayer. Having a constant conversation with our Lord should come naturally. Consider the fact that the average person has 12-60,000 thoughts a day with many being negative. What if our thoughts were transformed into thoughts and prayers to God, what a radical change would that have on our lives? (Rom. 12:2)
Our hearts should overflow with gratitude that we can pray because the Holy Spirit worked within our hearts and we received the gift of salvation. Without the gift of salvation, we would not have the ability to pray. “But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),” (Eph.2:4-5) So never stop praying for that the lost family member or friend. Constantly bring their names before the throne of grace expecting the Holy Spirit to move in a mighty way. In Luke 11:9-10 we are told to ask, seek and knock and doors will be opened. By asking we make our desires known to God. As we continually seek our spiritual direction is formed and when we refuse to never cease knocking our determination is declared before God. Stand strong in the faith, asking God expecting His will to be done, and wait and watch the mighty power of God.

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — After a close runoff election and then a recount, the Democratic nominee for Texas’ hotly contested 15th Congressional District is getting some national support, which she believes will help keep the border seat blue in November, she told Border Report.

Thirteen months ago, Ian Happ sat in Chicago Cubs manager David Ross’ office at Dodger Stadium.
Ross had summoned Happ to break tough news. Happ’s offensive struggles no longer warranted him an everyday spot in the lineup. Consequently, Ross informed Happ he wasn’t going to play much in the Cubs’ series against the Dodgers. Instead, Happ, then hitting .182, would be used off the bench.
“I cried in his office,” Happ recalled Sunday. “And to have that come full circle from just being at that point to getting an opportunity those last two months of last year, riding that into this year and having this first half, I mean, baseball’s a wild ride.”
Happ gained a more memorable moment Sunday to forever associate with Dodger Stadium. Ross called a pregame meeting to go over the team schedule and plans for the upcoming All-Star break. But then Ross had one additional detail to share, waiting until the end to reveal the news: Happ made his first All-Star team as a National League reserve.
Happ will join teammate Willson Contreras, the NL’s starting catcher, for the All-Star Game on July 19 in Los Angeles. The game will be a family affair for Contreras, whose younger brother, the Atlanta Braves’ William Contreras, also made the NL squad.
Because of Bryce Harper’s fractured thumb, William Contreras will join Willson in the starting lineup as the designated hitter. Aaron and Bret Boone were the last pair of brothers to make the same All-Star Game in 2003. The last brothers to start on the same All-Star team were Roberto and Sandy Alomar in 1992.
No White Sox players were announced as reserves, making Tim Anderson, the American League’s starting shortstop, the team’s only representative at the moment.
Hours after the Cubs were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers with an 11-9 loss, the honor still hadn’t fully sunk in for Happ. He made the team through MLB player voting, finishing sixth among NL outfielders on player ballots behind Mookie Betts, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Joc Pederson — the three starters chosen by fans — and fellow reserves Kyle Schwarber and Starling Marte.
Happ teared up as he talked about calling his parents and fiancée to share the news.
“To be able to call yourself a big-league All-Star is really, really cool and I’m humbled by it,” Happ said. “The fact that guys in the league think of you that way and the year that you’ve had and give you that recognition, it’s really, really special. Filling out those ballots for six years now and putting guys in that you’ve played against that you really think are the best players in baseball, that’s really cool that guys were doing that for me.”
Ross laughed as he remembered Happ telling him Friday before Contreras’ All-Star honor was announced that if he happened to make the team, not to tell him in front of everyone because he would break down in tears. Of course, the clubhouse setting provided the perfect backdrop for the big news. It set off clapping and cheers from his teammates, who enveloped Happ in hugs.
“It was a great scene, great for our guys, something to really celebrate and I think everybody was genuinely really, really happy for Ian,” Ross said. “Happer has been as consistent of a player as I’ve ever seen him be, and the fact he gets rewarded by being an All-Star, he’s deserving of that. He’s upped his game, not just offensive numbers but his defense and baserunning. His all-around game has been stellar and I’m so happy for him.”
The All-Star honor is a remarkable achievement for Happ, who turned around a big-league career trending in the wrong direction.
On this date last year, Happ was hitting .183 with a .296 on-base percentage, .626 slugging percentage, 29% strikeout rate and 73 weighted runs created plus (wRC+) through 76 games. The slump raised significant concerns about whether Happ, a free agent after the 2023 season, fit into the Cubs’ future plans.
But instead of an awful first half completely derailing the 27-year-old switch hitter, he turned around his 2021 season in the final two months and carried that success into 2022.
“When you’ve gone through tough times in your career, you know when you get to some of those points, you can look back on that,” Happ said. “It’s a journey to get to a place in the big leagues where you feel like you’re capable of playing every day and confident enough to do it and to be able to take the 0-for-4s and the 0-for-5s and to keep coming back, and there’s so much that goes into that mental part of the game.”
Happ has overcome adversity during his six-year career, including getting sent to Triple A to start the 2019 season. Reflecting on his journey, he couldn’t pinpoint one specific thing he is most proud of.
“Just sticking with it. Everybody in their careers has ups and downs,” he said, “and thinking back to some of those really low moments where you’re questioning your confidence and your ability and to come to the other side of that and feel like you’ve gotten to a point where you’ve gotten recognition like this, it’s really special.”
Among NL outfielders, Happ entered Sunday’s loss ranked third in OBP (.372), fourth in batting average (.277), fifth in weighted on-base average (.357), fifth in WAR (2.2), sixth in RBIs (40) and seventh in wRC+(129). In his first at-bat Sunday after making the team, he doubled as part of a five-run first inning against Dodgers starter Julio Urías.
“It’s spectacular, man,” Ross said. “I’m so proud of him. The mental toughness that you have to have to come out of that is really good. When you see guys set their path to greatness, it’s after stuff like that. Being able to come out and be where he’s at right now, I’m super happy for him.”
Patrick Wisdom’s locker in the Dodger Stadium clubhouse is situated directly next to Happ’s, and Wisdom could feel the emotions coming from Happ after the announcement. Watching Happ endure last year’s struggles and come through it while playing at an elite level has rubbed off on Wisdom.
“He’s having an All-Star-caliber year and he’s more than deserving to be on that team, so it wasn’t a surprise to me because I knew that he should be there,” Wisdom told the Tribune. “He’s a pro through and through, and either hitting behind him or in front of him, just watching how he handles the successes and the failures, I’ve added that to my game and am learning from him constantly whether he knew that or not.”

If you would like to listen or watch the outlook report (it's a different version to this), click
here in 15 minutes. Thanks for tuning in!
US stocks closed mixed Friday, with the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite ending higher as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 index slipped, after a stronger-than-expected June jobs report. All three major benchmarks booked weekly gains, with the Nasdaq leading the way up.
Looking ahead this week, investors won’t know what to focus on with the US second-quarter earnings season beginning on Thursday-Friday, reports due out from six major banks, and the June consumer price index due for release with expected central bank rate rises.
With earnings season about to begin, the stock market could finally get its moment of truth. TheS&P 500, after all, has dropped 18 per cent in 2022 and is mired in a bear market. Yet that decline largely reflects the effect of higher bond yields, which force valuations lower, triggering selloffs.
Earnings estimates, however, remain relatively firm – although it appears there have been some downgrades across the sectors for 2023 when viewing the date since mid June.
Across the sectors – no real winners with commodity prices under pressure and companies in the aluminium and copper sectors struggling.
Best-performing thematics included battery stocks, tech, new energy companies and hydrogen stocks.
Last month in the hydrogen space, the US Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office issued its first loan for clean-energy tech since 2014, guaranteeing a loan of $504.4 million to the Advanced Clean Energy Storage project in Utah that will convert renewable energy to hydrogen to support the power grid in the Western US.
In stocks related news, Twitter shares fell 5.1 per cent following news that Musk will withdraw his bid for the company. It appears that that both parties are headed to the courts with two possible outcomes, and they are very different. Firstly, Musk might have to pay a $1 billion reverse termination fee for unjustifiably walking away from the deal. Or, secondly, a court might order "specific performance", meaning that Musk would have to fund his entire $33.5 billion equity commitment and buy Twitter.
In Musk-related company news, PayPal Holdings shares fell more than 2 per cent after a broker downgrade.
Tesla Inc rose 2.5 per cent after shipping a record 78,906 vehicles in China last month.
On the economic front, Friday’s June jobs data surprised on the upside with 372,000 new jobs created last month, much better than the 250,000 in market forecasts. That continued what has been a strong year for jobs growth in America and will make it easier for the Federal Reserve to again lift rates by 0.75 per cent at its next meeting on July 26 and 27. The US jobs result for June was a case, as one US analyst put it of "good news being bad" for the markets because it means another big rise in US interest rates.
In fund flow news, the latest flow data highlighted dash to cash and biggest inflows to global bond funds in 14 weeks, with treasuries and government bonds the big beneficiaries. It appears China is a major beneficiary of new flows as US and European investors poured record sums into the Chinese market, with record flows of $5.8bn into listed Chinese ETFs – with the expectation of China stimulus to support markets post slowing growth due to COVID and real estate related defaults.
The SPI futures are pointing to a 20 point gain.
Figures around the globeUS markets closed mixed. The Dow Jones fell 0.2 per cent to 31,3385, the S&P 500 lost 0.1 per cent to 3,899 and the Nasdaq gained 0.1 per cent to 11,635.
Across the Atlantic, European markets closed higher. Paris added 0.4 per cent, Frankfurt gained 1.3 per cent and London’s FTSE closed 0.1 per cent higher.
Asian markets closed mixed. Tokyo’s Nikkei added 0.1 per cent, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 0.4 per cent and China’s Shanghai Composite lost 0.3 per cent.

[American Century Championship Release]
Tony Romo rolled in a clutch five-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to outgun Joe Pavelski and Mark Mulder and capture his third American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament title Sunday before record-setting crowds at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.
Winner of the tournament in 2018 and 2019, Romo is a well-known standout amateur golfer who has started multiple PGA Tour events as a sponsor exemption. All three players birdied the first playoff hole, the 501-yard, par five 18th.
Romo then took control when they played 18 again with a drive of 300-plus yards down the middle of the fairway. He then hit the green in two, landing a 150-yard wedge to within 25 feet. Pavelski and Mulder were both off the green with second shots from 240 yards and neither could get up and down. Romo then rolled his eagle putt past the hole before dropping the five-footer for birdie and pumping his fist in victory.
The $125,000 first place prize goes to tournament charities because Romo competes as an amateur in all of his tournament play. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback turned CBS Sports NFL analyst travels home to play Monday in the 36-hole U.S. Amateur qualifying tournament at Tempest Golf Club in Gladewater, Texas. Romo, Mulder and Pavelski all finished regulation with 62 points in the modified Stableford scoring system that rewards scoring with points so that the highest score wins.
Romo shot a 69 over 18 holes, Pavelski had the round of the day at 68 while Mulder, the second round leader, shot 75. “I had to keep patient,” stated Romo, who missed six putts of 20 feet or less throughout the round and trailed Mulder by as many as six points early in the back nine. “Coming from behind is a great feeling. All the wins here are special but this one was different because my boys are 10 and eight years old and they were into it.” “For some reason, I just got conservative,” said Mulder, the former MLB all-star pitcher. Mulder had control on the back nine and missed a nine-foot putt in regulation that would’ve won him his fourth American Century Championship.
Pavelski, the star right-winger from the Dallas Stars, had an 18-foot eagle putt to win the tournament on the first playoff hole but that slid by, pushing all three into the second extra hole.
It would have made him only the second active player to win the tournament following Mario Lemieux’s title in 1998. World Golf Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam birdied the 18th hole Sunday to finish in a tie for fourth place with Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen at 58 points.
Mardy Fish, the 2020 champion and U.S. Davis Cup Captain, finished sixth with 56 points. Defending champion Vinny Del Negro tied for 18th with 39 points. Charles Barkley tied for 74th with minus 26 points and failed in his pursuit for a top 70 placement that was his objective because of sports wagering propositions available in the legal sportbooks.
Aaron Rodgers finished ninth with 50 points and Steph Curry tied for 16th with 41 points, one point ahead of his father, Dell Curry. | https://www.2news.com/sports/former-quarterback-tony-romo-wins-3rd-acc-title-via-sudden-death-playoff/article_2993abc0-00ba-11ed-8696-3f871ec3a294.html | 2022-07-11T02:25:58Z | https://www.2news.com/sports/former-quarterback-tony-romo-wins-3rd-acc-title-via-sudden-death-playoff/article_2993abc0-00ba-11ed-8696-3f871ec3a294.html | false | 1 |
NORTH BERWICK, Scotland (AP) — Xander Schauffele keeps making up for lost time.
Winless for more than two years, Schauffele picked up his fourth win in the last 12 months Sunday when he overcame a rough patch in the middle of his round with two key birdies and a par save for an even-par 70 to win the Scottish Open.
Next up is another test on Scottish soil, this one the purest of all, the British Open at St. Andrews. Schauffele heads to the home of golf as among the hottest players in the world.
It was the first time the PGA Tour co-sanctioned a European tour event.
“It’s just an honor to win the first one,” said Schauffele, who now has seven career titles on the PGA Tour.
His 8-foot par save on the par-3 17th at The Renaissance Club gave him a two-shot lead, and the 28-year-old from San Diego played it smartly from there. He took iron off the 18th tee to avoid trouble and wound up missing an 8-foot par that only affected the margin.
Schauffele finished at 7-under 273, one shot ahead of Kurt Kitayama (66).
Kitayama had a one-shot lead on the back nine and was still tied until missing a 6-foot par putt on the 17th hole and then having to wait to see if his score would be enough.
The consolation for Kitayama was earning of three spots in the field at the British Open, his third straight time at golf’s oldest championship. The other two spots went to Brandon Wu and Jamie Donaldson, who tied for sixth.
So many others had a chance to earn a spot at St. Andrews. Rickie Fowler has played every British Open since 2010 and came into the final round of the Scottish Open within range. But he closed with a 75 and was headed back home across the Atlantic.
Ryan Palmer also was in position until playing the back nine with two bogeys and no birdies and missing out by two shots. It was tougher for Alex Smalley, who only needed a par on the 18th to earn a spot. He made bogey.
It wasn’t easy for Schauffele, either.
He started the final round with a two-shot lead and birdied the opening two holes. He was four shots ahead after five holes. And when he reached the back nine, he was one shot behind.
“This was stressful,” Schauffele said. “I’m not going to put makeup on the pig here. It was a very average day, probably my worst stuff this week. You can’t get ahead of yourself in links golf. I was ahead, behind, ahead, behind. I just kept my head down.”
It began to turn in his favor when Schauffele made a 15-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole to reclaim the lead, and then reached the par-5 16th in two to set up a two-putt birdie that extended his lead to two shots. Equally important was the 17th, when he putted from behind the green some 8 feet by the hole and made it for par to keep his cushion.
Schauffele now has won two straight PGA Tour starts — his win in the J.P. McManus Pro-Am in Ireland at the start of the week doesn’t count — going into the final major of the year. The last player to win twice in a row before a major was Dustin Johnson in 2016, and then he tied for ninth in the British Open at Royal Troon.
He had gone more than three years without a win, dating to the Sentry Tournament of Champions at Kapalua to start 2019, and it was gnawing at him.
But then Schauffele won Olympic gold in the Tokyo Olympics last summer. He teamed with Patrick Cantlay to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in late April, and now he has added two more of his own. That takes him to No. 5 in the world.
“Just to get over the hump, honestly, it was big,” he said of his first PGA Tour win this year in New Orleans. “It definitely was a kick-starter for me, as you can tell.”
Joohyung Kim, the 20-year-old South Korean, also had a brief share of the lead with a brilliant play on the 17th in which his ball rolled off the back slope to 5 feet for birdie. But he took bogey on the 18th and shot 67 to finish third. He moved to No. 39, his first time in the top 50.
Jordan Spieth had his share of adventures again.
He was within one shot of the lead until pulling his tee shot on the 14th into high grass, hacking out long and making double bogey, and then taking bogey on the 15th with a wedge in his hand from the fairway. Spieth had two birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine and shot 72 to tie for 10th.

24-year-old arrested for murdering builder-cum-arms dealer in Delhi
By ANI | Published: July 11, 2022 07:35 AM2022-07-11T07:35:52+5:302022-07-11T07:45:07+5:30
Delhi police have arrested a 24-year-old man for allegedly murdering a builder-cum-property dealer after the latter allegedly failed to deliver a consignment of pistols to him.
Delhi police have arrested a 24-year-old man for allegedly murdering a builder-cum-property dealer after the latter allegedly failed to deliver a consignment of pistols to him.
Speaking to ANI, DCP Crime Rohit Meena said, "On July 2 at around 2:45 pm renowned builder from Paschim Vihar area Amit Goel came out of his office and was about to board his car, suddenly one unknown boy fired multiple rounds on Amit Goel and shot him dead. After this, the assailant fled from the spot."
Deceased Amit Goel was previously involved in two cases related to arms.
The accused Deepanshu Sharma alias Deepak, a resident of Begampur, is a member of Kaala Sahuwasia Gang. He is also a close aide of renowned gangster Bhupender alias Monu Dariapur alias Tampu who was murdered by gangster Sonu Dariyapur, police said on Sunday.
Later, the police found the abandoned car used in the crime.
Following this, a team was constituted to nab the accused. The input was received about the involvement of one Deepanshu. After exemplary technical analysis and scanning CCTV footage, the lead was further developed into actionable input and the vehicle being used by Deepanshu was identified.
On Saturday, the location of Deepanshu was zeroed in Rohtak, Haryana.
Goel was previously involved in two cases related to arms. He was a professional shooter and used to import sophisticated automatic weapons under the guise of weapons imported for sport-related shooting, thus misusing the import policy meant for Indian shooters, police informed.
He along with a Slovenian national, was arrested in 2017 by the Directorate of Intelligence (DRI) for importing 25 automatic imported pistols illegally into India. He was allegedly involved in supplying imported automatic weapons to gangsters of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, they added.
During interrogation, Deepanshu told Police that after failing to deliver one of the two orders, Goel had threatened him with dire consequences, which offended him and he decided to kill him.
Sharma also took the help of gangster Bhupendra for changing hideouts since July 3, police said.
The police said that they are investigating the involvement of Bhupender alias Jokhad in the murder as he was with Deepanshu before the day of the murder and was apprehended along with him.
He has been handed over to local police for further investigation, police said.
Deepanshu has been arrested in the appropriate section of the law and is being produced before the concerned court.

SPIELBERG, Austria (AP) — Formula One drivers were quick to condemn the behavior of some abusive fans at the Austrian Grand Prix.
F1 said prior to Sunday’s race that it had received reports from fans who had been verbally abused, without giving further details.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton was upset when he heard about what had taken place at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
“It just highlights that it’s still an issue all over, it comes down to education and, of course, ignorance,” Hamilton said. “People should come, should feel safe, should feel included and should be able to follow whoever it is you want to follow. (It) shouldn’t matter (about) your gender, your sexuality, the color of your skin. It should just be everyone here to have a good time.”
Earlier Sunday, F1 issued a statement.
“We have been made aware of reports that some fans have been subject to completely unacceptable comments by others at the Austrian Grand Prix,” F1 said in a statement. “We take these matters very seriously, have raised them with the promoter and event security, and will be speaking to those who reported the incidents.”
The Red Bull Ring was sold out with more than 300,000 fans attending over three days.
“These things shouldn’t happen. I read a few things, a few shocking things, so that’s clearly not OK,” said defending world champion Max Verstappen, who drives for the Red Bull team. “I think there should be a general understanding that these shouldn’t happen.”
Verstappen urged better security — and less drinking.
“One thing can be improved with security around places, keep people more in check,” he said. “Sometimes when you drink alcohol you can do stupid things. I don’t say this as an excuse, but these things can be regulated. There’s a certain amount of alcohol maybe.”
Race winner Charles Leclerc of Ferrari said people have a duty to be vigilant toward others.
“I believe that as a community, people who are witnessing any type of harassment should act and do something,” he said. “If we manage to find these people we need to take hard action, they shouldn’t be allowed to be anywhere close to our sport.”
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was also shocked.
“We are shocked to hear that there have been some incidents of abusive behavior in the grandstands and the fan parks,” he said. “This is completely unacceptable and we hope that security and the authorities deal with this swiftly as there is no place for it in racing or society.”

If you’re looking for the most private and exclusive office space, renting a private office is the way to go. The best private office space for rent offers several benefits, including more control over your work environment, greater privacy, and increased productivity.
Things to consider when renting a private office space.
When you are considering renting a private office space, there are a few things you’ll need to take into account. The following are ten factors to keep in mind:
1. Location. The location of your office space is vital for some reasons. First, you’ll want to ensure that it’s easily accessible for you and your employees. Second, you’ll want to choose a location near other businesses and amenities.
2. Size. The size of the office space is also an important consideration. You’ll want to ensure that it’s large enough to accommodate all your employees comfortably.
3. Cost. The cost of renting private office space will vary depending on the location and size of the space. Be sure to get a few quotes before making a decision.
4. Lease terms. The length of the lease is another critical consideration. You’ll want to ensure that you’re comfortable with the terms of the lease before signing anything.
5. Furniture and fixtures. When you rent a private office space, it will typically come unfurnished. You’ll need to either buy or lease furniture and fixtures.
6. Utilities. Utilities, such as electricity, gas, and water, must also be considered when renting a private office space.
7. Internet and phone service. Most private office spaces will come with essential internet and phone service. However, you may consider upgrading to a higher-speed internet connection or a business phone line.
8. Security. The security of the office space is also an important consideration, especially if you’re storing sensitive data. Make sure to ask about the space’s security features before deciding.
9. Parking. If you and your employees will be driving to work, you’ll need to ensure adequate parking is available.
10. Access hours. The access hours of the office space are also an important consideration. You’ll want to ensure you can get into the space when you need to get work done.
Those are just a few things you’ll need to keep in mind when looking for the best private office space for rent. Be sure to consider all of these factors before making a decision.
Bottom line.
Renting a private office space is a great way to get the most out of your work environment. The best private office space for rent offers several benefits, including more control over your work environment, greater privacy, and increased productivity. Just be sure to keep the above factors in mind when making your decision.

TOKYO — Japan's governing party and its coalition partner scored a major victory in a parliamentary election Sunday imbued with meaning after the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe amid uncertainty about how his loss may affect party unity.
The Liberal Democratic Party and its junior coalition partner Komeito raised their combined share in the 248-seat chamber to 146 — far beyond the majority — in the elections for half of the seats in the less powerful upper house.
With the 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 policies 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.
A charter change proposal is now a possibility. With the help of two opposition parties supportive of a charter change, the governing bloc now has two-thirds majority in the chamber needed to propose an amendment, making it a realistic possibility. The governing bloc already has secured support in the other chamber.
Kishida welcomed the major win but wasn't smiling, given the loss of Abe and the hard task of unifying his party without him. In media interviews late Sunday, Kishida repeated: "Party unity is more important than anything else."
He 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.
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.
Abe, 67, was shot while giving a campaign speech in the western city of Nara on Friday and died of massive blood loss. He was Japan's longest-serving political leader over two terms in office, and though he stepped down in 2020 was deeply influential in the LDP while heading its largest faction, Seiwakai.
"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.
Following the assassination, Sunday's vote took on new meaning, with all of Japan's political leaders emphasizing the importance of free speech and defending democracy against acts of violence.
Abe's killing may have resulted in sympathy votes. Turnout on Sunday was around 52%, up about 3 points from the previous 48.8% in 2019.
"It was extremely meaningful that we carried out the election," Kishida said Sunday. "Our endeavor to protect democracy continues."
On the final day of campaigning Saturday, party leaders avoided fist-bumps and other friendly gestures in close contact with the public — a sign of tightened security following Abe's assassination during a campaign rally.
Abe's body has been 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.
On Sunday, the suspect accused of his murder was transferred to a local prosecutors' office for further investigation, and a top regional police official acknowledged possible security lapses allowed the gunman to get close to Abe and fire his homemade gun at him.
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 hated 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.
Nara prefectural police chief Tomoaki Onizuka said Saturday that problems with security were undeniable, that he took the shooting seriously and will review the security procedures.
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 leaving many of his goals unfinished, including revising Japan's war-renouncing constitution. While some conservatives consider the post-World War II charter a humiliation, the public is more supportive of the document.
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.
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.

India beat England 2-1 in the three-match series
Photo : AP
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- India won the three-match series against England 2-1
- The Men in Blue won a series against England in T20I cricket for the fourth consecutive time
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the MOTS award
In what was arguably India's toughest series in the build-up to the 2022 T20 World Cup, The Men in Blue defeated England 2-1 and won their fourth successive series over the Three Lions in the shortest format. This is also their second successive series win on English soil having won a series in 2018 by the same margin.
While lifting the trophy is a nice morale boost, the important thing is that
Rohit Sharma & co. have made massive strides in their run to the 2022 T20 World Cup. With just three months left for the marquee event, India seem to be heading in the right direction as they aim to finalise their squad and plans for the events.
Here are some important takeaways for the team management from the event-
1) Questions over Virat Kohli grow
Virat Kohli seems to be the only name on the lips of every cricket fan around the world at the moment as his place in the T20 World cup squad has come under the scanner. While Kohli tried to play a high-risk game, it did not come off for him in this series as he was dismissed for 1 and 11 in the two matches.
Although the intent from Kohli is delightful to see but ultimately runs are only the currency that matters and that is something he doesn't have at the moment. Having carried the team for a decade, Kohli has earned endless backing but Rohit Sharma and coach
Rahul Dravid do have a headache in front of them.
There is no shortage of talent in the country ready to replace him but there is no substitute for Kohli's experience too. It must not be forgotten that the ex-Indian captain's record in Australia is phenomenal. For these reasons, the Indian team will hope Kohli can soon get back into the runs or they will have to contemplate the idea of dropping him despite it having more chances of backfiring than working.
2) Batting conundrum
Not only is the form of Virat Kohli a concern for Team India but also the likes of Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan Shreyas Iyer, and Dinesh Karthik. Pant was given a new batting position as an opener but after promising signs with a knock of 26 in the second game, he only managed a knock of 1 in the series finale. Similarly, Shreyas Iyer failed to make the most of a solid start in the Trent Bridge T20I while Dinesh Karthik only scored 29 runs in three games. Meanwhile, Kishan has made the runs in the home series against South Africa but his technique and temperament still raise questions.
Despite centurion Suryakumar Yadav and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya being sure starters, the Men in Blue still have a lot of questions to answer with their batting order while only making any the idea of moving past Kohli harder. It must be remembered that KL Rahul is walking on a thin rope in his recovery from injury and it still remains to be seen if he can be fit in time for the T20 World Cup.
While Deepak Hooda has impressed, he has only played three games so far which is way too early to judge a player. Similarly, Sanju Samson for all his talent is yet to prove his consistency at the highest level. Both are deserving of an extended run in the team but is still a case of the team hoping things work out rather than a guarantee which is a risky situation so close to a major tournament.
3) A set bowling-unit
For all the issues in the batting unit, there are not many problems with the bowlers. In Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Harshal Patel alongside all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya; the Men in Blue have their first-choice bowling unit set. All four of them alongside Jadeja and Hardik are proven performers and make India one of the strongest bowling units in the world.
The only question remains on who the back-ups will be with the race still on between Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik in the pace department and Ravi Bishnoi, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and possibly Ravichandran Ashwin and Washington Sundar as far as spinners are concerned.
4) The new approach works
More than the results, it was India's new approach that was pleasing to see in the series. The Men in Blue have been criticised over the years for not playing the shortest format in a modern way but under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, that seems to have changed. Just like the best teams in the world in the white-ball format, India played with positive and aggressive intent from the first ball.
The most pleasing thing about it was that skipper Rohit led from the front and showed the team how to do it himself. Even for all his struggles, Kohli tried to play that way and while the runs might not have come, it does show that he has bought into the philosophy and the importance of a player of Kohli's stature doing so cannot be understated.
The new approach is something India are still learning and it will sometimes come to hurt them, especially in the early days like it did in the second game before Jadeja's batting heroics saved them but it shows the team is heading in the right direction. | https://www.timesnownews.com/sports/cricket/virat-kohlis-form-to-batting-conundrum-3-key-learnings-for-team-india-from-england-series-ahead-of-t20-wc-article-92789136 | 2022-07-11T02:55:16Z | https://www.timesnownews.com/sports/cricket/virat-kohlis-form-to-batting-conundrum-3-key-learnings-for-team-india-from-england-series-ahead-of-t20-wc-article-92789136 | false | 1 |
(The Conversation) – Heavy rain combined with melting snow can be a destructive combination.
In mid-June 2022, storms dumped up to 5 inches of rain over three days in the mountains in and around Yellowstone National Park, rapidly melting snowpack. As the rain and meltwater poured into creeks and then rivers, it became a flood that damaged roads, cabins and utilities and forced more than 10,000 people to evacuate.
The Yellowstone River shattered its previous record and reached its highest water levels recorded since monitoring began almost 100 years ago.
Although floods are a natural occurrence, human-caused climate change is making severe flooding events like this more common. I study how climate change affects hydrology and flooding. In mountainous regions, three effects of climate change in particular are creating higher flood risks: more intense precipitation, shifting snow and rain patterns and the effects of wildfires on the landscape.
Warmer air leads to more intense precipitation
One effect of climate change is that a warmer atmosphere creates more intense precipitation events.
This occurs because warmer air can hold more moisture. The amount of water vapor that the atmosphere can contain increases by about 7% for every 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius) of increase in atmospheric temperature.
Research has documented that this increase in extreme precipitation is already occurring, not only in regions like Yellowstone, but around the globe. The fact that the world has experienced multiple record flooding events in recent years – including catastrophic flooding in Australia, Western Europe and China – is not a coincidence. Climate change is making record-breaking extreme precipitation more likely.
The latest assessment report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows how this pattern will continue in the future as global temperatures continue to rise.
More rain, less snow
In colder areas, especially mountainous or high-latitude regions, climate change affects flooding in additional ways.
In these regions, many of the largest historical floods have been caused by snowmelt. However, with warmer winters due to climate change, less winter precipitation is falling as snow, and more is falling as rain instead.
This shift from snow to rain can have dramatic implications for flooding. While snow typically melts slowly in the late spring or summer, rain creates runoff that flows to rivers more quickly. As a result, research has shown that rain-caused floods can be much larger than snowmelt-only floods, and that the shift from snow to rain increases overall flood risk.
The transition from snow to rain is already occurring, including in places like Yellowstone National Park. Scientists have also found that rain-caused floods are becoming more common. In some locations, the changes in flood risk due to the shift from snow to rain could even be larger than the effect from increased precipitation intensity.
Changing patterns of rain on snow
When rain falls on snow, as happened in the recent flooding in Yellowstone, the combination of rain and snowmelt can lead to especially high runoff and flooding.
In some cases, rain-on-snow events occur while the ground is still partially frozen. Soil that is frozen or already saturated can’t absorb additional water, so even more of the rain and snowmelt run off, contributing directly to flooding. This combination of rain, snowmelt and frozen soils was a primary driver of the Midwest flooding in March 2019 that caused over US$12 billion in damage.
While rain-on-snow events are not a new phenomenon, climate change can shift when and where they occur. Under warmer conditions, rain-on-snow events become more common at high elevations, where they were previously rare. Because of the increases in rainfall intensity and warmer conditions that lead to rapid snowmelt, there is also the possibility of larger rain-on-snow events than these areas have experienced in the past.
In lower-elevation regions, rain-on-snow events may actually become less likely than they have been in the past because of the decrease in snow cover. These areas could still see worsening flood risk, though, because of the increase in heavy downpours.
Compounding effects of wildfire and flooding
Changes in flooding are not happening in isolation. Climate change is also exacerbating wildfires, creating another risk during rainstorms: mudslides.
Burned areas are more susceptible to mudslides and debris flows during extreme rain, both because of the lack of vegetation and changes to the soil caused by the fire. In 2018 in Southern California, heavy rain within the boundary of the 2017 Thomas Fire caused major mudslides that destroyed over 100 homes and led to more than 20 deaths. Fire can change the soil in ways that allow less rain to infiltrate into the soil, so more rain ends up in streams and rivers, leading to worse flood conditions.
With the uptick in wildfires due to climate change, more and more areas are exposed to these risks. This combination of wildfires followed by extreme rain will also become more frequent in a future with more warming.
Global warming is creating complex changes in our environment, and there is a clear picture that it increases flood risk. As the Yellowstone area and other flood-damaged mountain communities rebuild, they will have to find ways to adapt for a riskier future. | https://www.wnct.com/weather/climate-change-is-making-flooding-worse-3-reasons-the-world-is-seeing-more-record-breaking-deluges/ | 2022-07-11T02:58:47Z | https://www.wnct.com/weather/climate-change-is-making-flooding-worse-3-reasons-the-world-is-seeing-more-record-breaking-deluges/ | true | 16 |

Air New Zealand has brought back its flexibility policy to ease some of the pressure, with more than 2500 people swapping their tickets for credit already.
Six of the airline's flights into Auckland and four flights out have been cancelled this morning.
Last week the airline warned of three-hour waits to get through to its call centre.
While there have been long queues in Auckland, operations have been running more smoothly at Wellington and Christchurch airports.
Christchurch Airport's chief aeronautical and commercial officer Justin Watson said there had been a few cancellations, caused by weather, engineering issues and "the long tail of Covid-19" which was affecting crews and pilots.
So far two flights from 80 flying in or out of Christchurch Airport today had been cancelled, which was not huge "but still disruptive".
Watson said once flights were cancelled, passengers might have to wait a day or so to get another seat because most flights were full.
"It's an unfortunate situation brought about by Covid and there's not a lot we can do about it when people are getting sick and having to isolate."
Wellington Airport's head of operations Matt Palliser said it had been a busy start to the school holidays with an average of 25,000 travellers per day, the highest numbers since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
"It's great to see everyone travelling again."
Palliser said travellers were being advised to check flight schedules online, check-in online if possible and arrive at the airport early for bag dropoff and to get through security.
Both men said the Ministry of Health has mandated mask use and there was high compliance within the airports and on flights.
"A lot better than you see out in the general public," Watson said. | https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-national/flight-disruptions-airlines-cope-high-demand | 2022-07-11T03:20:55Z | https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-national/flight-disruptions-airlines-cope-high-demand | true | 2 |

As Uber aggressively pushed into markets around the world, the ride-sharing service lobbied political leaders to relax labor and taxi laws, used a “kill switch'' to thwart regulators and law enforcement, channeled money through Bermuda and other tax havens and considered portraying violence against its drivers as a way to gain public sympathy, according to a report released Sunday.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, a nonprofit network of investigative reporters, scoured internal Uber texts, emails, invoices and other documents to deliver what it called “an unprecedented look into the ways Uber defied taxi laws and upended workers' rights.''
The documents were first leaked to the British newspaper The Guardian, which shared them with the consortium.
In a written statement. Uber spokesperson Jill Hazelbaker acknowledged “mistakes'' in the past and said CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, hired in 2017, had been “tasked with transforming every aspect of how Uber operates ... When we say Uber is a different company today, we mean it literally: 90% of current Uber employees joined after Dara became CEO.''
Founded in 2009, Uber sought to skirt taxi regulations and offer inexpensive transportation via a ride-sharing app. The consortium's Uber Files revealed the extraordinary lengths that the company undertook to establish itself in nearly 30 countries.
The company's lobbyists — including former aides to President Barack Obama — pressed government officials to drop their investigations, rewrite labor and taxi laws and relax background checks on drivers, the papers show.
The investigation found that Uber used “stealth technology'' to fend off government investigations. The company, for example, used a “kill switch'' that cut access to Uber servers and blocked authorities from grabbing evidence during raids in at least six countries. During a police raid in Amsterdam, the Uber Files reported, former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick personally issued an order: “Please hit the kill switch ASAP ... Access must be shut down in AMS (Amsterdam).''
The consortium also reported that Kalanick saw the threat of violence against Uber drivers in France by aggrieved taxi drivers as a way to gain public support. “Violence guarantee(s) success,'' Kalanick texted colleagues.
In a response to the consortium, Kalanick spokesman Devon Spurgeon said the former CEO “never suggested that Uber should take advantage of violence at the expense of driver safety.''

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — One of the jurors in the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial served improperly, an attorney for Heard alleged in a recent filing that asked the court to declare a mistrial and order a new trial.
“Newly discovered facts” show Juror No. 15 in the six-week trial was not the individual summoned in April to serve in the case, Heard’s attorney wrote in a five-page memo filed Friday in Virginia’s Fairfax Circuit Court.
Instead, the filing suggests Juror No. 15 was a younger individual with the same last name who “apparently” lives at the same address.
“As the Court no doubt agrees, it is deeply troubling for an individual not summoned for jury duty nonetheless to appear for jury duty and serve on a jury, especially in a case such as this,” the filing said.
Depp sued his ex-wife over a December 2018 op-ed Heard wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Much of the testimony focused on whether Heard had been physically and sexually abused, as she claimed. Depp said he never hit Heard and that she was the abuser.
After a televised trial that turned into a spectacle, the jury found in Depp’s favor on all three of his claims relating to specific statements in the 2018 piece.
The jury decided Depp should receive $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, but the judge reduced the punitive damages award to $350,000 under a state cap.
Heard has previously said she plans to appeal the verdict.
News of Friday’s filing was first reported by Deadline, which posted the document online.
The memo expanded upon earlier post-trial motions filed by Heard’s legal team that asked the judge to throw out the verdict against her. Those motions had raised the possibility that one of the jurors may not have been properly vetted by the court.
The latest filing said a “jury panel list” in the case included a person who would have been 77 at the time of the trial. Voter registration information lists two individuals with the same last name “apparently” residing at the same address, said the filing, in which the names were redacted.
“The individual who appeared for jury duty with this name was obviously the younger one. Thus, the 52-year-old … sitting on the jury for six weeks was never summoned for jury duty on April 11,” violating Heard’s due process rights, the filing said.
The Associated Press sent emails seeking comment Sunday to a representative for Depp and two of his attorneys. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/entertainment-news-news/heard-attorneys-say-juror-served-improperly-seek-mistrial/ | 2022-07-11T03:41:05Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/entertainment-news-news/heard-attorneys-say-juror-served-improperly-seek-mistrial/ | false | 36 |

LONDON - Novak Djokovic stayed serene amid a frenzied atmosphere to tame fiery Australian Nick Kyrgios in an engrossing final on Sunday, lifting a seventh Wimbledon trophy and taking his Grand Slam title count to 21.
Rallying from a set down, Djokovic exhibited ice-cool nerves in sweltering conditions to win 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6(3) for his fourth consecutive trophy at the grasscourt major to close in on Rafa Nadal's record 22 Grand Slam titles.
By lifting the Challenge Cup once again, Djokovic drew level with his childhood idol Pete Sampras in the all-time winners list and is now just one shy of Swiss Roger Federer's record eight Wimbledon titles.
After finishing 2021 one win short of a rare calendar-year Grand Slam, Djokovic's season has not panned out exactly as he would have envisaged after being deported from Melbourne ahead of the Australian Open and losing to Nadal in the French Open quarter-finals.
"Certainly this year has not been the same like last years," he said. "It has started the way it has started and it has affected me definitely in the first several months of the year.
"I was not feeling great generally. I mean, mentally, emotionally, I was not in a good place."
The Serbian's refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19 could prevent him from entering the United States to compete at the year's final Grand Slam in New York, but the air of uncertainty had no bearing on his love affair with the lawns at the All England Club.
Djokovic said he had no plans to get vaccinated and only hoped the entry restrictions will be eased for him to play at Flushing Meadows next month.
After completing victory in just over three hours, Djokovic raised his arms to the sky and after shaking hands with Kyrgios, he bent down to pluck some grass from the famous old court and tasted it before running up to his player's box to kickstart the celebrations.
"It always has been and always will be the most special tournament in my heart, the one that motivated me, inspired me to start playing tennis in a small mountain resort in Serbia where my parents used to run a restaurant," said an emotional Djokovic, who was also celebrating his eighth wedding anniversary with wife Jelena on Sunday.
"Every single time it gets more meaningful and more special, so I'm very blessed and very thankful to be standing here with the trophy."
UNSEEDED OPPONENT
Competing in a men's record 32nd major final on a sun-bathed Centre Court, the 35-year-old was facing an unseeded opponent who had never previously been beyond the quarter-finals at a Grand Slam.
In their only two meetings -- both in 2017 -- Djokovic did not win a set, failed to break the Kyrgios serve and had only a single break point opportunity.
Five years later, it was another sublime serving performance from the Australian during the early stages.
A couple of well-disguised drop shots from Kyrgios helped him set up two break points in the fifth game and a double fault from Djokovic brought up the first break of serve, which was enough for Kyrgios to take the set.
A focused Kyrgios, however, did not forget to entertain when he could. There was an underarm serve and he hit a return on the half volley between his legs to delight the crowd.
No-one, however, expected it to be an easy straight-sets match with Djokovic having not lost at the All England Club since retiring injured from his 2017 quarter-final against Czech Tomas Berdych.
Djokovic's delivery went up a gear in the second set and the Serb slowly but surely started demonstrating why he is considered the best returner in the sport.
Once the level of the Kyrgios serve dropped in the second set, Djokovic was ready to pounce.
AUSTRALIAN FUMING
With Djokovic serving to level the match at one set apiece, however, Kyrgios raised his game to set up four break points, only for the top seed to save them all and convert his first set point to leave the Australian fuming.
Kyrgios poured out his frustrations in a lengthy rant aimed at his box and the Australian maverick was his usual hot-headed self during the third set as Djokovic started playing pristine tennis.
He was broken from 40-love up in the ninth game and continued swearing and screaming, earning himself a code violation for obscene language.
The drama across the net, however, did not have any impact on Djokovic's focus.
After holding serve to win the third set he calmly collected his bag and left the court, leaving his opponent sitting on his chair and shaking his head in frustration.
After both players failed to create a break point in the fourth set, Djokovic dominated the tiebreaker and sealed the Championship on his third match point for his 28th straight Wimbledon win when Kyrgios found the net on a return.
"He's a bit of God, I'm not gonna lie," Kyrgios said. "He's just really composed. It's weird, I felt like he didn't do anything amazing today."

Verlander gets MLB-leading 11th win as Astros down KC 5-2
HOUSTON — (AP) — In a career with so many accomplishments, Justin Verlander's success this season after missing almost two years with an elbow injury has been particularly sweet.
“Of course," the Houston Astros right-hander said when asked if his stellar start means a lot to him. “Yeah, absolutely. We’ve talked about it a lot, just so much hard work since the since the surgery and it’s nice to see it pay off and hopefully — knock on wood — it continues."
Verlander got his MLB-leading 11th win, Yordan Alvarez hit his 26th homer and the Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 on Thursday to take the series 3-1.
Jose Altuve added a homer and three RBIs for the Astros, who bounced back after a 7-4 loss Wednesday night that snapped an eight-game winning streak.
Verlander (11-3) grinded through six innings, allowing seven hits and two runs — one earned — with eight strikeouts to lower his ERA to 2.00 in his remarkable return from Tommy John surgery. His ERA, opponent average (.190) and WHIP (0.97) all rank second in the AL.
“I had to make some pitches in some big spots and trust my defense behind me," he said. “Every game is not going to go perfectly without traffic. Today was one of those games where you had to grind a bit."
The Royals led 2-0 and Kris Bubic (1-6) had walked five batters but had allowed just one hit — a single by Jake Meyers in the second — when Martín Maldonado doubled with one out in the fifth.
Altuve then jumped on the first pitch, sending it into the seats in left field to tie it at 2-2.
There were two outs in the inning when Alvarez connected on his opposite-field shot to the first row in left field to put the Astros on top 3-2. His 26 home runs rank second in the AL to Yankees star Aaron Judge, who has 30.
Altuve was asked if he's impressed by what Alvarez does day after day.
“We enjoy the way he goes out there and everything he does,” Altuve said. “So sometimes we get surprised, sometimes not. We've seen good swings from him and it seems like every day he comes ready to hit the ball.”
Houston added two insurance runs in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Altuve and an RBI double by Aledmys Díaz.
Ryan Pressly pitched a scoreless ninth for his 18th save.
Verlander has 24 wins against the Royals, which is his most against any team and ties him with Nolan Ryan for fourth-most in league history against Kansas City.
The Royals led early in this one just as they had in the first three games of the series.
Emmanuel Rivera and Edward Olivares hit consecutive singles to start the second. Rivera was picked off trying to steal third for the second out before a single by Nicky Lopez scored Olivares to put Kansas City up 1-0.
Olivares got things going in the fourth when he singled with no outs and made it all the way to third on the play on an error by center fielder Meyers. The Royals made it 2-0 when Olivares scored on a sacrifice fly by Kyle Isbel.
Verlander took a one-hopper hit by MJ Melendez off the leg with one out in the fifth. It didn’t slow him down, as he chased the ball after it deflected off his leg and made the throw in time to beat Melendez to first.
Rivera singled to start the sixth before Verlander walked Isbel with one out. After a short visit to the mound, Verlander retired Lopez and Cam Gallagher on groundouts to preserve the lead and end his day.
Bubic yielded four hits and three runs while tying a career high with six walks in 5 1/3 innings for his second straight loss.
Manager Mike Matheny was disappointed in the number of walks Bubic issued Thursday.
“I just want him to continue to understand how his aggressiveness is going to be very beneficial to him," Matheny said. “But I thought his stuff was good."
TRAINER’S ROOM
Royals: INF Bobby Witt Jr. was out of the lineup for a second straight game after fouling a ball off his hand Tuesday night. He still had some swelling Thursday, but Matheny said he expected Witt to hit in the cage and that he was still listed as day to day.
Astros: SS Jeremy Peña was scratched from the lineup about an hour before the game due to health and safety protocols. Manager Dusty Baker said Peña was sick but would travel with the team to Oakland Thursday night.
DUSTY'S MILESTONE
Thursday's win was a milestone for Baker, moving him out of a tie with Walter Alston into sole possession of ninth place on the all-time wins list with 2,041.
UP NEXT
Royals: Brady Singer (3-3, 4.30 ERA) will face Cleveland’s Aaron Civale (2-5, 7.05) on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series against the Guardians.
Astros: José Urquidy (7-3, 4.15) will oppose Oakland’s Paul Blackburn (6-3, 2.90) when the Astros open a three-game series against the Athletics on Friday night.

AIADMK power tussle: Madras HC set to deliver verdict on OPS vs EPS battle
The AIADMK has been embroiled in significant intra-party debate over the subject of single-leadership since last month, and Palaniswami has the support of an overwhelming majority, while Panneerselvam has been marginalised in the party.
The Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) General Council (GC) will meet today to select the party's future leadership structure. While O Panneerselvam was twice chosen as J Jayalalithaa's stand-in-chief minister and is now suffering dwindling support, Edappadi K Palaniswami has garnered overwhelming popularity among party workers.
The Madras High Court is due to rule on a petition against holding the conference on Monday morning, even though all preparations are being made to host it on the premises of a marriage hall on the city's outskirts. Justice Krishnan Ramaswamy reserved the orders, which are likely to be handed around 9 a.m. on Monday, and the GC meeting is scheduled to begin at 9.15 a.m.
O Panneerselvam, or OPS, and Edappadi K Palaniswami, or EPS, have been at odds for months over how the party should be run, with the former advocating for the present joint leadership arrangement and the latter advocating for single leadership with himself as the party General Secretary.

The GC meeting may decide to dismiss Panneerselvam as treasurer since he has "failed" to fulfil his obligations. According to reports, Panneerselvam is planning to miss the meeting and instead meet with supporters at his Greenways Road home. With the OPS camp vehemently opposing the meeting to select Palaniswami as the top leader, the party has built entrance control equipment such as flap barriers and turnstiles to admit only permitted personnel with access cards, a first for any political organisation in Tamil Nadu.
To host the event and accommodate around 3,000 functionaries, a vast open space on the property has been tin-roofed. A large dais, roughly 80 feet long and 40 feet wide, is planned to host top officials. The entire premise is covered in photographs of party stalwarts M G Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa, with Palaniswami's image intermingled. The entire neighbourhood was decked out in celebratory garb, and Palaniswami is expected to be greeted with pomp and circumstance upon his arrival for the meeting.
The AIADMK has been embroiled in significant intra-party debate over the subject of single-leadership since last month, and Palaniswami has the support of an overwhelming majority, while Panneerselvam has been marginalised in the party. The AIADMK is anticipated to take action against Panneerselvam soon.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court allowed Team EPS to proceed with the meeting in accordance with the law, but Team OPS contended that the meeting's behaviour was technically unlawful and hence void. According to the bylaws, only the Coordinator and Joint Coordinator are authorised to call the meeting. | https://newsable.asianetnews.com/india/aiadmk-power-tussle-madras-hc-set-to-deliver-verdict-on-ops-vs-eps-battle-gcw-reu6ee | 2022-07-11T04:06:37Z | https://newsable.asianetnews.com/india/aiadmk-power-tussle-madras-hc-set-to-deliver-verdict-on-ops-vs-eps-battle-gcw-reu6ee | true | 1 |

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A memorial now stands downtown Louisville to remember a Kansas father who died after a driver hit his family.
The memorial for Trey Jones was placed at South Second and West Market Street on Sunday.

Lawmakers face pressure to address rise in violent crime, mass shootings
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – The Biden administration is facing mounting pressure to address a spike in violent crime in major cities across the country.
The Justice Department says it has been working to take violent criminals off the streets including a 30-day operation conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service — resulting in a large number of arrests including of three suspects in the mass shooting that happened in July in Philadelphia.
In June, federal law enforcement arrested 1,500 violent criminals through Operation North Star, the DOJ said.
“Which is an example of our efforts to protect our communities from violence and gun violence,” Attorney General Merrick Garland noted.
Garland says the operation focused on criminals wanted for the most serious offenses including homicide in 10 major U.S. cities.
“This initiative reflects the anti-violent crime initiative that we’ve had in place since the beginning of 2021,” Garland explained.
However, officials say the country continues to deal with crime issues, notably with ongoing mass shootings.
Most recently, a gunman opened fire from a rooftop on a crowd celebrating Independence Day in Highland Park, Illinois. So far, authorities say seven people died.
“20 minutes from the house I grew up in… just another horrific reminder of the violence and the gun violence that we face,” Garland said.
Authorities say that gunman has now confessed to the crime, and had AR-15 style weapons.
President Biden and Vice President Harris are renewing their calls for a ban on assault weapons, a call that Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart echoes.
“A ban of these types of weapons between 1994 to 2004, everything shows us these types of horrifying, devastating incidents went down during that time,” Rinehart said.
However, there appears to be no appetite among Republicans to ban assault weapons. In July, Congress passed a law that includes expanding background checks, encouraging sates to pass red flag laws and dedicating funding for mental health.

Before I start this blog let me be clear: I am a happy expat. Previous blogs have allured to the possibility of a return back to the UK, but I was just being open in sharing some of the questions expats, like myself, inevitably have had. What is our end game – will we ever return back ‘home’ and will there ever come a time in the short term where one would need to go back?
The longer I spend living abroad, the less likely it is that I will ever go back to live again. The reality is there is very little back in the UK for me to go back for, I have my two brothers but see them when they come over on whenever I go back to the UK for a vacation. I have friends but we have all moved on from when I last lived in the UK over a decade ago. We are certainly still friends, but our mindsets have shifted in opposite directions.
Can you fit back in with a society that you left?
One of the biggest reasons for why I don’t think I will end up back in the UK is that I no longer fit in and no longer think aligned to the UK culture, friends and family. During August I saw on my Facebook feed all my friends back in the UK having their summer holidays – as it was half term for their children. So, every family gets away as the kids are off school. And they all jump on plane to British areas abroad in Europe and surround themselves with fellow Brit holiday makers. If ever I wanted reminding of the structure and routine to UK living that was it.
Let’s face it, no one really cares about what you have been up to living abroad, at best you will get a luke warm interest. Your experiences are of no interest to your peers back home.
After uprooting and moving abroad to then return back home means acclimatising to a different social ecosystem all over again. There is even terminology for this, it is called ‘Reverse Culture Shock’ when you return. Will you feel like you belong when you return, I am not convinced you will?
I am also quite sure you will be in shock with a whole raft of things from the weather change to increased taxes.
Never say never
I would certainly never discount returning back to the UK, preferably in a financially secure position, but looking into the UK from afar I really am not sure it is something I would want to rush back for.

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh has become an A-list celebrity of B-town in the last few years. He has delivered several big blockbusters and proven his acting mettle over and over again with stellar performances in ‘Bajirao Mastani’, ‘Ram Leela’, ‘Padmaavat’, ‘Gully Boy’ and others.
He is the most sought after and the most bankable star of Bollywood currently. While Ranveer is a very busy man with back-to-back projects lined up, it seems like the star has managed to tear himself away from work long enough to make some investments – specifically in real estate.
As per reports, the ‘Gully Boy’ actor has purchased a swanky sea facing quadruplex worth Rs. 119 crores ($15 million) in the same neighbourhood as Bollywood’s two biggest Khans – Salman and Shahrukh.
In fact, the actor has paid a whopping Rs. 7.13 crores ($899,000) in stamp duty alone (it’s a pre-requisite amount that needs to be paid to register a property and is usually a percentage of the total value of the property).
The quadruplex apartment that Ranveer has purchased falls between Shahrukh Khan’s enviable mansion ‘Mannat’ and Salman Khan’s humble and homey Galaxy Apartment.
As per reports, the apartment is from the 16th to the 19th floor of the building and covers a total square feet carpet area of 11,266 and apart from this it also has 1,300 square feet of exclusive terrace facing the Arabian Sea.
In terms of price, it appears that Ranveer has paid a super high premium amount of Rs. 1 lakh ($1,260) per square feet!
Ranveer Singh has purchased this four floored apartment in a building called Sagar Resham which stands across from Bandra’s high profile Band stand area and he has acquired this property through his firm called Oh Five Oh Media Works LLP. Ranveer and his father Jugjeet Sunder Singh Bhavnani are listed as directors of that firm.
It’s clear that Ranveer is planning to live life larger than king size and not only is he the proud owner of a lavish living space, this purchase also grants him access to 19 parking lots in the building. For the unversed, in a city like Mumbai (much like New York or London), a parking lot is worth more than the value of owning a house as road and parking space are an ultra-premium in a bustling and busy city like Mumbai. | https://www.canindia.com/ranveer-singh-buys-a-swanky-quadruplex-worth-a-whopping-rs-119-crores-15-million/ | 2022-07-11T04:44:59Z | https://www.canindia.com/ranveer-singh-buys-a-swanky-quadruplex-worth-a-whopping-rs-119-crores-15-million/ | false | 1 |

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) of India has reached out to the Canadian government, urging them to seek action against two persons based in the country, who were allegedly involved in the killing of a priest in Punjab for over a year ago.
The central agency has asked Canada to treat the case as a priority investigation against the two persons, who were among the four named in the charge sheet filed by India in the murder conspiracy orchestrated to kill the priest in January 2021.
The NIA had filed a charge sheet in front of a special court last week, where it mentioned four persons in relation to the murder case of priest Kamaldeep Singh. Out of the four, two were said to be based in Canada - Hardeep Singh Nijjar and Arshdeep Singh.
According to media reports, Nijjar resides in Surrey in British Columbia, while the last know location of Singh was in the Greater Toronto Area. An NIA team went to Ottawa in November, where the discussions regarding the investigation in the Kamaldeep Singh murder case took place.
As per the chargesheet filed by the central agency in India, Kamaldeep Singh was a priest in Punjab, who was murdered at a village in Jalandhar. Now, the NIA and Indian government has approached the authorities in Canada to further spread the reach of their investigation.
Meanwhile, India is also in talks with Interpol and the Canadian authorities in relation to the investigation of Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder case. As per India’s request, Interpol had issued a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against Goldy Brar, a Canada-based actor who had claimed responsibility for the murder of the singer.
Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead in an alleged gang war between the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and the Bambiha gang. Moose Wala was killed by eight unidentified men while he was in Mansa, Punjab.

You might not think you know Joe Turkel. But if you've spent much time in the Overlook Hotel or post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, his face will surely ring a bell. Turkel, who died last month at the age of 94, worked steadily in Hollywood for 50 years, though in that time he played a total of zero leads. Turkel's name was never emblazoned on trailers or posters: in fact, in more than a third of his film and television appearances, it wasn't even included in the credits.
Yet his work in The Shining and Blade Runner – in which he respectively played the ghostly bartender Lloyd and the technology baron Dr Eldon Tyrell – gave him a presence every bit as towering as the stars to whose scenes he brought an eerie, ominous edge. With his gaunt, still features and thin, ambiguous smile, Turkel was one of the great bit-part actors – those lower-profile players to whom canny directors turn when they need a certain mood or tone only one face, voice or demeanour can yield.
Turkel was a favourite of Stanley Kubrick's, who cast him in small but pivotal roles in The Killing, Paths of Glory and lastly The Shining, in which he pours Jack Nicholson a Bourbon and listens quietly to him tipsily unburden himself about – well, let's say various domestic stresses and strains. Turkel's screen time totals barely 60 seconds, yet this is more than long enough for him to create one of cinema's most vivid and unsettling supporting characters.
Lloyd was career-making for Turkel, yet he almost lost it to Harry Dean Stanton: perhaps the most illustrious of the entire bit-part breed. Stanton was always eye-catching even in the slightest of roles, but during the 1970s rise of New Hollywood he found a kind of anti-superstardom thanks to his extraordinary face – craggy and crumpled, but also tender, noble and pained.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.In Ridley Scott's Alien (the film he skipped The Shining for), he had just 16 minutes of screen time: a lot more than a bit, but still less than any other cast member, unless you count the chap in the alien suit. Still, in his 16 minutes as Samuel Brett, the drooling adult xenomorph's first victim, Stanton brought a leathery credibility to the Nostromo's mission: he made space travel look like haulage.
Among Stanton's many admirers was Wim Wenders, who cast him in a rare but unforgettable lead role in Paris, Texas. Another was David Lynch, whose ability to channel the power of the bit-part is virtually unrivalled. Many Lynch films feel haunted by characters only with us for mere minutes: think of Robert Blake's vampiric party guest in Lost Highway, Grace Zabriskie's unannounced visitor in Inland Empire, or Laurel Near's lady in the radiator in Eraserhead.
In Mulholland Drive, Patrick Fischler's nervous diner patron is on screen for a little over 200 seconds – but the actor's unforgettable portrayal of creeping, unfathomable dread helps turn this short standalone scene into arguably the film's definitive sequence.
Fischler took on a certain charge from that role – a sort of noirish paranoia, which bled into much of his subsequent work. It was in his more substantial parts on Lost and Mad Men, and almost used as a callback in his more fleeting appearances in other films that dug into Los Angeles's weird old secret corners, like The Black Dahlia, Hail, Caesar! and Under the Silver Lake.
Lynch would deploy Fischler again, perfectly, in the third series of Twin Peaks as a fretful casino executive: it was like watching an artist pull a half-squeezed tube of paint from his drawer, after remembering just how well it had served him on that earlier canvas.
That's not to say the best single-scene players are just glorified props. To remain in circulation over decades, useful to directors whose signature styles couldn't be further apart, takes dedication and talent. Philip Baker Hall, who died last month aged 90, spent more than a decade surfacing here and there before playing Richard Nixon for Robert Altman in the one-man historical drama Secret Honour.
It didn't make him a star overnight, but caught the eye of a young aspiring filmmaker called Paul Thomas Anderson – who a little over a decade later would cast him in the short he would later expand into his 1996 debut feature, the gambling thriller Hard Eight. That unlocked things: Hall took a string of brief but memorable roles in enormous films like The Rock, Air Force One, The Truman Show and Rush Hour, as well as Anderson's own Boogie Nights and Magnolia.
Since the first flickerings of the prestige television era, the glut of content has made the categories of bit-part player and character actor increasingly porous: these days you can both, and a star into the bargain. Yes, that's Omar Sy, hero of Netflix's Lupin, in a glorified cameo as Chris Pratt's old raptor-training colleague in the latest Jurassic World. And during Top Gun: Maverick, if you're really paying attention, you might spot one of the stars of The Good Place, Manny Jacinto, as one of the trainee pilots.

Advertise with NZME.Meanwhile, the internet has made it easier for appreciative audiences to identify and track those recurring interesting faces. Dick Miller, a bit-part stalwart whose six-decade career took in more than 180 films, was even the subject of a documentary in 2012, which discussed his work for the likes of Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Samuel Fuller and, on 18 separate occasions, Joe Dante. (He was the slow plough driver in Gremlins; the bookshop owner in The Howling; the taxi driver in Innerspace; one of the dustmen in The 'Burbs.)
Yet Miller's plump CV is positively waif-like next to that of Stephen Tobolowsky, whose 280 credits across film and television in the last 45 years borders on ludicrous. Again, the name might not be familiar, but some of the characters are indelible: the awful Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day, the anxious amnesiac Sammy Jankis in Memento, the psychopathy buff Dr Lamott in Basic Instinct.
If the 71-year-old Tobolowsky plans to retire by his 80th birthday, he just has to make another 40 films per year – plus another 10 during a quiet patch – to come close to equalling James Hong. Born to first-generation Chinese immigrants, Hong is thought to have played more than 650 roles since the 1950s, including the villainous Lo-Pan in Big Trouble in Little China, Fay Dunaway's Butler in Chinatown, and Blade Runner's eyeball technician Hannibal Chew. And his casting in the recent cult-hit multiverse comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once seemed a wily nod to a career spent pinballing between parallel realities.
The men above have enjoyed full and varied careers, but one suspects being male was a useful advantage. Margo Martindale, Dale Dickey and Beth Grant are among the notable outliers – you'll almost certainly recognise all three. But when it's widely acknowledged that the film industry loses interest in women once they pass the age of 40, what hope can there be of jobbing actresses cropping up regularly into their 70s and beyond? Cinema is littered with – and all the richer for – an abundance of That Guys. But its shortage of Her Agains shouldn't be overlooked. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/its-that-guy-again-why-bit-part-actors-are-hollywoods-most-essential-workers/ZRDDSEI3HFC3CWFFO3WRCVAVEU/?c_id=1501119&objectid=12537292 | 2022-07-11T04:56:18Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/its-that-guy-again-why-bit-part-actors-are-hollywoods-most-essential-workers/ZRDDSEI3HFC3CWFFO3WRCVAVEU/?c_id=1501119&objectid=12537292 | false | 3 |
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Electric Reliability Council of Texas is asking Texans to conserve power Monday, the electric operator said late Sunday.
ERCOT is asking people and businesses to voluntarily conserve electricity between 2-8 p.m. It also issued a watch for “a projected reserve capacity shortage” from 2-8 p.m. Monday.
It said no systemwide outages are expected Monday.
ERCOT said conservation notices are given when projected energy reserves fall below 2,300 MW for at least 30 minutes. It last asked for conservation in May after six power plants went offline during record demand.
The reasons for the conservation request are record-high electric demand due to the heat wave and low wind projections. ERCOT demand set an all-time peak demand record Friday, which was previously set July 5. On Saturday, it set a new weekend demand record.
ERCOT, the organization that supplies energy to over 26 million customers in Texas, has previously said it expects to set new demand records as the state grows.
The power grid operator released its summer outlook in May, which said it “is expected to have sufficient installed generating capacity” for peak demands from June to September.
At the time, ERCOT expected its peak demand to reach a new record of 77,317 megawatts — which is about 2,300 megawatts higher than the new record set Sunday.
Ways to reduce electricity include turning up thermostats one or two degrees and waiting to use major appliances during afternoon peak hours, the release said.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden is hosting a “celebration” of a new bipartisan law meant to reduce gun violence that, after just 16 days in effect, already has been overshadowed by yet another mass shooting.
The bill, passed after recent gun rampages in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, incrementally toughens requirements for young people to buy guns, denies firearms to more domestic abusers, and helps local authorities temporarily take weapons from people judged to be dangerous.
But the South Lawn event on Monday morning comes a week after a gunman in Highland Park, Illinois, killed seven people at an Independence Day parade, a stark reminder of the limitations of the new law in addressing the American phenomenon of mass gun violence.
Biden on Saturday invited Americans to share with him via text — a new White House communications strategy — their stories of how they've been impacted by gun violence, tweeting that “I’m hosting a celebration of the passage of the Safer Communities Act."
The law is the the most impactful firearms violence measure Congress has approved since enacting a now-expired assault weapons ban in 1993. Yet gun control advocates — and even White House officials — say it's premature to declare victory.
“There's simply not much to celebrate here,” said Igor Volsky, director of the private group Guns Down America.
“It’s historic, but it’s also the very bare minimum of what Congress should do,” Volsky said. “And as we were reminded by the shooting on July 4, and there’s so many other gun deaths that have occurred since then, the crisis of of gun violence is just far more urgent.”
Volsky’s group, along with other gun violence advocacy groups, was set to host a news conference on Monday outside the White House calling on Biden to stand up a dedicated office at the White House to address gun violence with a greater sense of urgency.
Biden has left gun control policy to his Domestic Policy Council, rather than establishing a dedicated office like he stood up to address climate change or the gender policy council he established to promote reproductive health access.
“We have a president who really hasn’t met the moment, who has chosen to act as a bystander on this issue,” Volsky said. “For some reason the administration absolutely refuses to have a senior official who can drive this issue across government.”
The president signed the bipartisan gun bill into law on June 25, calling it “a historic achievement" at the time.
“Time is of the essence. Lives will be saved,” Biden said in the Roosevelt Room during a hastily arranged signing ceremony before he flew to Europe. Referencing the families of shooting victims he has met, the president said: “Their message to us was, ‘Do something.’ How many times did we hear that? ‘Just do something. For God’s sake, just do something.’ Today we did.”
White House officials said Biden doesn't see the passage of the bill as the finish line, but rather a foundation that needs to be built on. The Illinois shooting occurred nine days after the bill signing.
“I recently signed the first major bipartisan gun reform legislation in almost 30 years into law, which includes actions that will save lives,” Biden said after July 4th shooting. “But there is much more work to do, and I’m not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence.”
On Friday, Biden responded to the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe by taking note of how the shooting had shocked people in Japan. The country has a strikingly low incidence of gun violence compared to the U.S., which has experienced thousands of gun deaths already this year.
Most of the new law's $13 billion in spending would be used for bolstering mental health programs and for schools, which have been targeted by shooters in Newtown, Connecticut; Parkland, Florida; and many other gun massacres. It was the product of weeks of closed-door negotiations by a bipartisan group of senators who emerged with a compromise.
It does not include far tougher restrictions that Democrats and Biden have long championed, such as a ban on assault-type weapons and background checks for all gun transactions. Biden on Monday was expected to reiterate his call for those tougher measures, but prospects are slim for any further congressional action. | https://www.local10.com/news/politics/2022/07/11/biden-celebration-of-new-gun-law-clouded-by-latest-shooting/ | 2022-07-11T05:08:13Z | https://www.local10.com/news/politics/2022/07/11/biden-celebration-of-new-gun-law-clouded-by-latest-shooting/ | false | 25 |
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — An activist who shouted “Where is Peng Shuai?” and held up a sign with the same message was removed from Centre Court during the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday.
Drew Pavlou, an activist who made a similar protest at the Australian Open this year, said he shouted the message during a stoppage in play and was then forcefully removed from the stadium.
“I didn’t want to disrupt the actual match itself so I waited to make sure there was a break in the play and then I just basically held up a sign saying ‘Where is Peng Shuai?’” Pavlou told The Associated Press. “And I just said, ‘Where is Peng Shuai? This Chinese tennis star is being persecuted by the Chinese government. Why won’t Wimbledon say something?’”
Peng is a retired professional tennis player from China who last year accused a former high-ranking member of the country’s ruling Communist Party of sexual assault. She has made very few public appearances since then.
On Monday, four activists wearing “Where is Peng Shuai?” T-shirts were stopped by security at Wimbledon and had their bags searched.
Pavlou said he smuggled the sign onto the grounds of the All England Club by folding it up and hiding it in his shoe. He also had a T-shirt with the message tucked into the waistline of his jeans.
He shouted the protest early in the third set of the match between Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios. Djokovic eventually beat Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3).
“I tried to be as loud as possible,” said Pavlou, who is Australian. “I screamed it because I wanted people to hear it.”
Pavlou said security wrestled him to the ground and then four of them restrained him with his arms behind his back and brought him to a public area outside Centre Court. He said he was then told to leave the grounds.
He tried to re-enter a short time later but a security guard told him his tickets had been canceled.
The All England Club said Pavlou was removed “after disrupting play by shouting, running down the stairs and causing a nuisance to their fellow spectators.”
At the Australian Open, a spectator was removed from the grounds for wearing a T-shirt supporting Peng but the tournament later reversed its decision and allowed people to wear the clothing as long as they didn’t congregate in large groups or cause problems for other spectators.
Peng disappeared from public view last year after accusing former Communist Party official Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault. Her accusation was quickly scrubbed from the internet, and discussion of it remains heavily censored.
Peng won two Grand Slam women’s doubles titles in her career, including at Wimbledon in 2013.
The women’s professional tennis tour canceled its tournaments in China because of the situation surrounding Peng.

Artifacts are shown at the Fort McCoy, Wis., History Center in July 2022.
The History Center is part of the installation’s Commemorative Area.
The 900 block of Fort McCoy and the 11-acre area surrounding it are at the hub of the fort’s history-preservation efforts and is called the Commemorative Area.
The Commemorative Area consists of five World War II-era buildings set aside to help tell Fort McCoy's unique story.
These facilities are representative of the types found in the cantonment area when it was constructed in 1942. Three of the buildings — an administrative facility, a dining facility, and a barracks — are set up to depict Soldier life during the 1940s. Display items include a World War II chapel, bunk beds, footlockers, mannequins, and potbelly stoves.
Another building highlights four different modern military training venues, and a separate facility shows various training aids. The area also has the Equipment Park.
Veterans Memorial Plaza is a tribute to all of the men and women who have served the nation during each era of Fort McCoy’s history.

Euro heads for parity with dollar
The euro is approaching parity with the dollar for the first time in two decades, underscoring investors’ fears that the Continent is heading for a prolonged energy-driven recession.
The single currency has fallen by 10 per cent against the dollar this year to $1.01 and is on course for the psychologically significant value of 1-to-1 amid concern over slowing growth and lower eurozone interest rates than the United States. Robin Brooks, at the Institute for International Finance, called euro-dollar parity a “bodyblow for the eurozone . . . It undercuts Germany’s economic model, which for decades was built on cheap Russian energy. Without German growth, the eurozone is in real trouble.”

If ordered to save energy, what will you do?
Fuel crisis requires a collective national response but after No 10’s parties we may be in no mood to listen to ministers
Beyond the distractions of heatwave, tennis and political circus comes a different and interesting question: how will we behave this winter? I do not speak of the minority excitements of strikes, marches and riots, but of the basic matter of compliance.
Has our obedient goodwill all been used up? Are we terminally disillusioned by the cheating of the powerful, or are there reserves of stoically patriotic behaviour?
In the pandemic Britain surprised ministers with a remarkably wide observance of lockdowns, restrictions, testing regimes, closed churches and shops. We accepted separations, enforced loneliness and being pinged into purdah by government smartphone trackers. We clapped on Thursdays and accepted the ghoulish shroud-waving propaganda on every news bulletin.

A maiden treble that almost ended with four tries at the end of the night has marked a pivotal point in a NRL career-best performance from Sharks centre Jesse Ramien.
None of the other three tries during the Kamilaroi and Weilwan man’s past 12 appearances in his fifth year at Cronulla had been more damaging than in the home side’s 28-6 win over Melbourne Storm on Thursday.
Ramien opened the scoring stepping back inside towards Melbourne’s line in the 11th minute, but a few plays later the 25-year-old also dropped the ball over the same line to deny stretching the Sharks’ lead out early.

But Ramien redeemed himself prior to the break, chasing a grubber kick through to score again before in the second half bursting around four defenders for the finisher in the 75th minute.
The back-to-back loss for the Storm ahead of Wednesday’s State of Origin decider was cast against a backdrop of Reimis Smith being ruled out for rest of 2022.
The Bundjalung man has been forced to watch from the sidelines for more than two months during rehabilitation on a pectoral tear.
But Smith, the nephew of rugby league great Anthony Mundine, further aggravated that muscle injury before even stepping back on the field.
“He’s worked pretty hard to get back, and he was probably only a week or two from getting back into training,” Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy said of Smith.
“For that to happen again isn’t ideal for him or for us.
“I’m not quite sure what to say there because he’s distraught.
“He’s worked ultra-hard, but it’s come to nothing now.”
Indigenous flyer Cody Ramsey did his best to spoil the party for Brisbane Broncos that were celebrating 30 years since winning their inaugural premiership over St George.
But Kotoni Staggs was equal to the task to secure the hosts a 32-18 victory on Sunday against the Dragons.
A textbook cut-out pass put Ramsey perfectly into space and his sprint 40 metres into the corner levelled the scores.
But after exchanging tries once more, the Broncos crossed four successive times, starting and ending with Staggs.
The Wiradjuri man marvelously weaved in and out of the defence to breach the line in the 36th minute.
HOW. GOOD. 😍#NRLBroncosDragons pic.twitter.com/zCB2ppSu9C
— NRL (@NRL) July 10, 2022
Torres Strait Islander Ezra Mam also joined Brisbane’s stampede in the 55th minute; the rookie sensation scoring off supporting multiple ball runners next to the uprights.
Staggs matched the pace of his halfback’s run four minutes earlier to chase down a 30-metre Broncos kick.
Ramsey still showed as much grit heading inside the final 10 minutes than what the fullback had done with flair, breaking tackles to collect a double and the side’s third.
Cody Walker was another Indigenous playmaker to score two tries in a half across the weekend, setting up the 40-28 victory at Newcastle.
The South Sydney revelation, 26, was perhaps dubiously awarded a ninth minute try after scooping up a ground dummy-half pass and then running into teammate George Burgess close to the line.
The 38th minute try was one of anticipation for the Yuin and Bundjalung man, intercepting a speculative Knights’ pass to dash more than 80 metres under the posts.
Latrell Mitchell’s six goals on Friday night added to the Birrbay and Wiradjuri man captaining the Rabbitohs for the first time in his 37 games at Redfern.
Daine Laurie, Walker’s nephew, had initially put the Wests Tigers up by 12 points in a promising 15-minute start of their clash with Parramatta on Saturday night.
The Bundjalung and Yaegl man chased through a Tigers’ high ball, only to soon gather a fumbled Eels’ catch from a tackle to score for the first time this year.
But the complexion of the derby changed quickly as Parramatta crossed for the next five unanswered tries within 37 minutes to seal a 28-20 win at Leichhardt Oval.
