House of the Week: Couple find peace and quiet at country Oswego home they designed themselves
OSWEGO, N.Y. – In 2015, Kim and Ron DeGroff were looking for a change. For years, the couple had lived on a noisy, four-corner intersection in Scriba, near Oswego. They wanted something a little different. A place in the country, where they could enjoy nature, with enough property to ride their...

Getafe will get their pre-season friendlies underway on Wednesday when they go head-to-head with Preston North End.
The EFL Championship side got their pre-season up and running with a comfortable victory over Bamber Bridge on July 2 and will look to continue that run.
Getafe, meanwhile, will hope for a strong preseason campaign following their underwhelming 2021-22 season. Quique Sanchez Flores’s side secured a 15th-placed finish in La Liga, finishing just a point above Granada in the final relegation spot.
Getafe head into Wednesday's game winless in five straight games, losing one and picking up four draws in their closing five games last season.
Meanwhile, Preston won their final two games in the EFL Championship last season, finishing 13th in the league table. The Lilywhites kicked off their pre-season with a comfortable 3-0 victory over amateur side Bamber Bridge on July 2.
Preston have been busy in the transfer window, securing the services of Robbie Brady, Ben Woodburn and Freddie Woodman as they prepare for the new Championship campaign.
Getafe vs Preston North End Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- This will be the first meeting between the two teams as they look to begin their rivalry on a winning note.
- Getafe are on a run of five games without victory, failing to win their last five La Liga games last season.
- Preston have won their last three games across competitions, scoring ten goals and conceding two.
- Getafe head into Wednesday's game on a run of three consecutive draws on home turf, dating back to a 2-1 loss against Villarreal in April.
Getafe vs Preston North End Prediction
Coming off a disappointing 2021-22 campaign, Getafe will look to begin their pre-season on a high. However, they face a Preston side that has won their last three games. A thrilling contest, with the English side coming out with a slender victory, could ensue.
Prediction: Getafe 1-2 Preston North End.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence a Cranston man who admitted to setting a Providence police cruiser on fire to more than three-and-a-half years in prison.
Nicholas Scaglione, 32, is set to be sentenced Thursday for his role in the arson that took place during the June 2020 riot in Providence. The unrest was sparked in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Scaglione was originally facing a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison for a charge of malicious destruction of a government vehicle by fire. But after negotiations with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty to a lesser count of conspiracy to commit arson, which does not come with a mandatory prison term.
“After careful consideration of the facts of this case, notably the serious risk of bodily harm and damage caused by the defendant’s actions, and the need to promote respect for the law, the government believes that a sentence of 46 months is sufficient,” Assistant U.S. Attorneys Paul Daly and William Ferland wrote in a sentencing memorandum filed Monday.
Last month, Scaglione’s attorney William Dimitri asked the court to impose a sentence of 30 months in prison, the low-end of the negotiated plea agreement. Dimitri cited similar cases in other parts of the country — including a “Molotov cocktail” attack on a police cruiser in Brooklyn around the same time — in which the defendants negotiated a plea agreement that would sentence them to between 18 and 24 months of incarceration.
In the court filing, Dimitri also pointed out to U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy that Scaglione is a father of two young children who has struggled since his father died when he was 10 years old.
“There is no doubt that he regrets his conduct of June 2, [2020] and regrets putting himself and his children in this current situation,” Dimitri wrote.
Video from that night shows Scaglione climbing on top of the cruiser and later spraying what FBI investigators called an accelerant onto the seat of the cruiser.
“Although he did not initiate the attempt to ignite the cruiser, he ‘stepped in’ and in effect, assisted another individual,” Dimitri wrote. “The information leading to Scaglione came from surveillance cameras, cell phones, social media and to use a term, informants, who provided information to a ‘tip line’ or directly to the FBI.”
“Indeed, Scaglione’s own social media posts and/or texts to family members and friends, sealed his fate,” Dimitri added.
Luis Joel Sierra, of Providence, was also arrested on an arson charge and pleaded not guilty. But last August U.S. District Judge John McConnell found Sierra was mentally incompetent, preventing the case from going to trial.
McConnell ordered Sierra receive treatment at a federal medical center and prison in North Carolina. He was released from custody on Friday, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Scaglione’s sentencing is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Thursday.

Jayland Walker's Family Criticized Police In Akron, Ohio, For Violence Against Protesters
The family of Jayland Walker condemned police violence against protesters outraged over the police killing of the 25-year-old Black man and urged officials in Akron, Ohio, to allow people to demonstrate peacefully.
"We are hurting. Our family is hurting. And we do believe in protest," Pastor Robert DeJournett, Walker's relative, said at a news conference on Monday. "People should — when we are angry, we're hurting — people should be able to demonstrate in a nonviolent way. And that goes for our police department too. Because they should be acting in a nonviolent way as well."
There have been largely peaceful protests in Akron since police fatally shot Walker on June 27. Tensions increased after police released graphic body camera footage of the deadly encounter, and videos on social media show officers beating at least one protester and violently arresting others.
Family members of other victims of police violence were also arrested during protests in the past week. Breonna Taylor's aunt, Bianca Austin, and Jacob Blake Sr., whose son was paralyzed after being shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, were arrested on Wednesday night. Court records show that Austin and Blake were charged with rioting, disorderly conduct, and failure to disperse. Blake faces an additional charge of resisting arrest.
Police have said that they pursued Walker after he did not pull over during an attempted stop for a traffic violation. They claimed a shot was fired from his car; it's unclear if he did shoot, based on bodycam footage, but there appeared to be a flash coming from the driver's side of the vehicle. Police said Walker then stopped his car and ran out, and the officers chased him on foot.
"Actions by the suspect caused the officers to perceive he posed a deadly threat to them," police said. "In response to this threat, officers discharged their firearms, striking the suspect."
Police fired more than 90 times at Walker, and he was struck by more than 60 bullets, Bobby DiCello, the family's attorney, previously told BuzzFeed News. Walker was also handcuffed after he died, DiCello said.
The city canceled 4th of July celebrations in anticipation of the release of body camera footage. Mayor Dan Horrigan also instituted an ongoing curfew in the downtown area.
At a briefing on July 3, Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett said Walker was unarmed when he left his vehicle, and that it was hard to tell why the officers shot at Walker based on the footage. Mylett said they do not yet know the "exact number of rounds fired" at Walker, but confirmed that the medical examiner found 60 wounds on his body.
The officers' response to the encounter changed when they believed Walker was shooting at them, Mylett said, as it shifted from "being a routine traffic stop to now a public safety issue."
The eight police officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave, per department policy.
DiCello has criticized city officials' response to the shooting and on Monday said they were attempting "to frame Jayland as someone he was not."
"They're trying to turn him into someone to be afraid of," DiCello said, pointing to the photos of Walker that police displayed at the July 3 news conference. "They've tried to make him the problem from day one."

HOUSTON, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Salient Midstream & MLP Fund (the "Fund") (NYSE: SMM) provided today a summary of unaudited statement of assets and liabilities and announced Net Asset Value (NAV) as of June 30, 2022.
On June 30, 2022, the Fund's total assets were $199.7 million and the NAV per share was $7.94. On June 30, 2022 the closing share price of the Fund was $7.57, which was trading at a 4.7% discount to the NAV.1 The Fund's NAV and market price total returns for the month of June were -18.3% and -10.9%, respectively, compared to -13.2% for the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Total Return Index (AMEIX).2 The Fund's NAV and market price total returns year-to-date (YTD) were 8.5% and 14.8%, respectively, compared to 10.0% for the AMEIX.2
On June 28, 2022, after consideration of a variety of factors and alternatives, the Board of Trustees determined that it would be in the best interest of shareholders to reorganize SMM into Salient MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund ("SMLPX") (the reorganization of SMM into SMLPX is the "Reorganization"). The proposal to reorganize SMM into SMLPX will require the approval of SMM shareholders. This press release is not intended to, and does not constitute an offer to purchase or sell shares of SMM or SMLPX (together, the "Funds") nor is this press release intended to solicit a proxy from any shareholder of the Funds. The solicitation of the purchase or sale of securities or of proxy to effect the Reorganization will only be made by a definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus has yet to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). After the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is filed with the SEC, it may be amended or withdrawn. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus will not be distributed to shareholders of SMM unless and until a Registration Statement comprising of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus becomes effective with the SEC.
Over the last 12 months, SMM has increased its distribution by 46% and management plans to review the distribution rate every six months with expectations to continue passing through distribution increases as the Fund's portfolio has distribution increases.
Since the Fund's inception, the portfolio management team has focused on generating top-tier total returns rather than focusing on the distribution rate and the Fund's performance over multiple time period's versus its peers is provided in the table below along with a ranking of SMM vs. peers.
Since inception in 2012 SMM is the second best performing closed-end fund on market price and the third best on NAV in the peer group of eleven funds.
SMM's inception to date (ITD) annualized total return (based on market price) of -2.3% has outperformed the RIC Average of -5.9% and the with the C-Corp average of -4.9%. Likewise, on a NAV basis, SMM's ITD return of -1.9% compares favorably to the -4.0% return for the peer group of RIC Funds and -3.3% for C-Corp Funds.
June Market Commentary
June was a difficult month for energy infrastructure equities which were down 13.2% as measured by the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (AMEIX).2 We believe the proximate cause for the June correction was a market fear that a recession had started or will begin soon. In the past two recessions, oil demand has declined and we think investors have priced in some of those expectations today. Looking at past recessions, demand doesn't always decline – in both the 2001 and 1991 recessions global oil demand actually continued to grow.3 We will look to additional data points in coming months to determine whether demand is being impacted. Based on data in hand it still appears that demand continues to outstrip supply and that global inventories are continuing to decline at this time.3 For the remainder of 2022, we remain positive on the industry as 1) free cash flow after dividends is growing at a healthy pace, 2) hydrocarbon volumes are growing as drilling activity improves and 3) capital allocation remains mostly focused on returning excess cash to investors through buybacks and potential dividend increases.4
Crude oil as measured by the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) benchmark was down 7.8% for the month of June but is now up 40.6% for the year.5 Crude oil prices have moved sharply higher due to the war in Ukraine. Russia produces ~10 million barrels per day (mmbbls/d) of crude oil, or about 10% of global supply and is the second largest crude oil exporter after Saudi Arabia.6 Markets are worried that crude oil supplies may be disrupted which could lead to a spike in prices well above current levels. Europe's move towards sanctioning Russia's energy exports could lead to a further spike in global crude oil and natural gas prices. Longer term, we view crude oil prices in the $70-$80 per barrel range as being positive for investment in the American energy industry. While the Ukrainian war will have an as yet unknown effect on crude oil supply, fundamentals remain robust as energy consumption continues to rise post COVID.7 Commodity analysts continue to see a tight supply environment for both crude oil and natural gas in 2022 and potentially into 2023. We believe that current prices are sufficient to lead to U.S. volume growth in 2022. The promise of these incremental volumes should be supportive of midstream companies.

The First State Bank Post 20 seniors ended the regular season on a high-note Saturday, claiming a 3-1 win over Lincoln Southeast.
Fremont did all of its scoring in the top of the third.
Four-straight singles, capped by a ground ball up the middle by Jackson Cyza moved Post 20 station-to-station before scoring the opening run of the contest.
The fifth single, this one off the bat of Dom Escovedo, doubled Post 20’s lead two batters later.
The final First State Bank run came in on an RBI groundout by Quinn Gossett.
Post 20 Ryan Winter made good use of the early offense, putting up 6 2/3 innings of scoreless work.
The Midland baseball commit allowed just four hits while striking out a pair and walking six.
Winter’s outing came to an end after sandwiching two outs between a pair of walks in the bottom of the seventh.

Brandt Phillips came on to get the final out, giving up a double, which scored Southeast’s only run, before inducing a game-ending pop fly.
First State Bank ends the regular season with an 18-7 record.
Post 20 will be gunning for its third-straight district title when the postseason commences on July 15 in South Sioux City.
The field of the Area 6 tournament will feature Columbus/ Post 84 Cornerstone Inc, Lincoln Northeast/Judds Brothers, Lincoln North Star/Anderson Ford and South Sioux City/Post 307.
Lincoln Northeast will host the National Division state tournament, allowing up to three teams from the bracket to reach the state tournament if Northeast fails to reach the championship game.
First State Bank went 3-1 against district competition this summer with a pair of wins over South Sioux City, a win over North Star and the lone loss coming against Columbus. Post 20’s game against Lincoln Northeast Thursday was rained out in the third inning with Northeast leading 1-0.

Esther McVey and the chequered history of the Tory ‘dream ticket’
Jeremy Hunt and the former breakfast TV host are not the first Tory odd couple as Sean O’Grady explains
Jeremy Hunt’s nomination of Esther McVey as his deputy-leader designate – and therefore also deputy-prime minister designate – is certainly something of a surprise. He is often lazily thought of as a kind of moderate in Tory terms, having expressed some caution about radical tax cuts and previously having backed Remain in the EU referendum and ruled out a no-deal Brexit in the traumas of 2016 to 2019. He remained aloof from the Johnson cabinet.
McVey, on the other hand, is critical of Johnson for not being aggressive enough on the EU, or on tax cuts or on refugees. Of course, there has been some convergence in their stances lately, with Hunt advocating a widening of the Rwanda scheme to other host nations, but there’s no denying that Hunt and McVey are an odd couple.
What’s in it for them? You’d suspect that Hunt is desperate to widen his appeal and dissolve the assumption he’s some sort of liberal “Remoaner”, hence tacking hard to the right and recruiting someone with red-wall appeal to balance his southern background. It may be she was the only person on that wing willing to join Team Hunt, given that he’s been the antithesis of populism since losing the leadership race in 2019. It may also be that a fine grace-and-favour country house for Deputy Prime Minister McVey, such as Dorneywood, may also have been an attraction for her and her husband Phil Davies, MP for Shipley. A handy backbench “buy one, get one free”, then.

WESTPORT — Police say a Stratford woman was found dead Sunday evening in the back seat of a vehicle left running in the parking lot of a local performing arts venue.
Westport police said officers responded to the parking lot of 40 Jesup Road, the Levitt Pavilion, for a car that was left running with a person in the back seat.
“The first arriving officers determined that the occupant was not responsive,” police said in a statement Monday.
Police said “lifesaving efforts were attempted,” but the woman was pronounced dead.
Police said the woman was “tentatively” identified as a 34-year-old Stratford resident, but did not immediately release her name.
Police said the state’s chief medical examiner will determine the woman’s cause and manner of death, but they said foul play is not suspected. | https://www.thehour.com/policereports/article/Police-Stratford-woman-34-found-dead-in-17296782.php | 2022-07-11T21:00:45Z | https://www.thehour.com/policereports/article/Police-Stratford-woman-34-found-dead-in-17296782.php | true | null |
Arsenal ’s busy summer transfer window is continuing to heat up, with pre-season fixtures already underway. The Gunners beat Nuremberg 5-3 in Germany to kick things off and will now have a few days before they face Everton in a friendly.
Some new faces are already in the squad for those games, with four signings announced and roughly £80million spent. The squad could still change further, as Mikel Arteta looks to get the right blend for his project.
While there has been a large focus on arrivals, players could still leave the club if they aren’t needed or want to make a switch. One of those options could be goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

The 30-year-old has become a backup option for his manager in the past year, with Aaron Ramsdale claiming the No. 1 shirt. With the arrival of USMNT shot-stopper Matt Turner this summer, football.london understands an exit for Leno is likely as he searches for first-team minutes.
While he is yet to secure his next club, a transfer appears to be edging closer as the Evening Standard reports that Fulham are close to making a £10million bid for him. Added to that, Sky Sports in Germany believe that personal terms are agreed with the west London side, with a contract until 2025 prepared with the option of an extra year.
It would put an end to a four-year stay at the Emirates, following his £22million move from Bayer Leverkusen in 2018. In that time, he’s made 125 appearances for the club, kept 37 clean sheets and won two trophies.

Construction on a baseball turf at Veterans Memorial Field in Norfolk is scheduled to begin this fall. The work on the field is estimated to last about two months.
The announcement of the new field comes alongside new recreational opportunities that the city council has been working on. Those new opportunities include upgrades to Ta-Ha Zouka Park and an indoor aquatic facility separate from the pool at the YMCA.
The current baseball field at Veterans Memorial Park is regular turf. However, it needs a renovation since the field is no longer level.
The Northeast Community College baseball team frequently plays on the turf at Veterans Memorial Field. Marcus Clapp, the Hawks’ coach, said he believed that because multiple teams use the field year-round, it was inevitable that the field would be affected.
“However, the new turf will be a huge asset for the community and all the teams that play there,” Clapp said.
To readdress issues that came with the previous field, city park management has decided to switch the baseball field from regular turf to artificial turf.
"Artificial turf will allow for longer use since you can take the snow off and create immediate play during the colder months. It also has a shorter prep time window," said Nathan Powell, the city’s parks and recreation director.
Tom Sullivan, the coach of the Norfolk American Legion Juniors baseball team, spoke highly of the new turf coming to Veterans Memorial Field.
“Sometimes, games have to get postponed because of bad weather. With an artificial turf, we can get our spring season started sooner. It also presents opportunities for more out-of-state teams to come to Norfolk,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan also spoke of his gratitude for the maintenance of the field but maintained the idea that an artificial turf would be especially beneficial for players and community members.
In addition to the new turf, the field also will be expanded by moving home plate 12 feet farther back. In addition to the new turf, the field will be leveled off more in the outfield area. | https://norfolkdailynews.com/sports/construction-on-new-baseball-turf-to-begin-in-fall/article_c6eefe48-0127-11ed-a9c6-d7c40203f83e.html | 2022-07-11T21:04:09Z | https://norfolkdailynews.com/sports/construction-on-new-baseball-turf-to-begin-in-fall/article_c6eefe48-0127-11ed-a9c6-d7c40203f83e.html | true | 1 |
Bleach's New Anime Will Adapt One of Its Best Side Arcs, Says Execs
Bleach is on the horizon at last, and fans are gearing up for the series' comeback. If you did not know, the hit series is making its return to television this fall with a brand-new anime, and it will bring Tite Kubo's manga to a close. After all, the original show never managed to adapt the end of Kubo's story, and the anime team has confirmed this new series will be adapting one of the manga's best side arcs.
So, you better brace yourselves! Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War will be adapting the arc all about Isshin and Masaki, so tissues are going to be a must-have for fans. Volume 60 of the manga is one of the saddest in Bleach, and there is no telling how emotional the arc will be on screen.
Director Tomohisa Taguchi & Producer Yoshihiro Tominaga share their excitement for #BleachTYBW in this exclusive interview! pic.twitter.com/dBTcRhI4d1
— VIZ (@VIZMedia) July 11, 2022
The update came from director Tomohisa Taguchi and producer Yoshihiro Tominaga courtesy of Viz Media. The executives were interviewed ahead of Anime Expo 2022, and the event played a special video featuring the pair. Now, the full clip has been released on Twitter, and it confirms Everything But the Rain will be adapted for TV.
Now, if you are not familiar with this name, you will know it if you read Bleach. Everything But the Rain refers to the series' 60th volume and includes chapters 531 – 540. The side arc flashes back to a time before Ichigo was born as Isshin and Masaki are introduced to one another. This volume documents how the pair fell in love and all the events that led to Isshin leaving the Soul Society ahead of Masaki's murder. So as you can see, things are going to get tense when this arc hits TV.

For now, fans can brush up on the arc ahead of the anime's release as Bleach will bring its new series around this October. You can find the complete manga through Viz Media either digitally or in print. And if you want to binge the original anime, the series is streaming on Crunchyroll and Hulu right now.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — Bobby Shapiro ran down Central Avenue in socks, moving toward the street corner where gunfire had erupted just moments before. At first, he only wanted to confirm that what he was hearing was real — a mass shooting at a July 4 parade in Highland Park.
Any sense of disbelief vanished with the sight of bone fragments, blood and pieces of flesh lying in the street where a parade was marching just minutes before. Then he saw the bodies.
“It was pure horror. It was a battle zone,” Shapiro, 52, said in an interview. When the gunshots first went off, he had been changing out of his cycling shoes about 100 yards away.
Emergency vehicles and first responders were not yet at the scene, so Shapiro, a tech salesman with no medical training, began doing whatever he could to help.
From the bystanders who tied tourniquets and administered CPR to the fleeing paradegoers who rescued and cared for an orphaned two-year-old covered in blood, people from every corner of the Highland Park community sprung into action on July 4 in the wake of unspeakable tragedy.
Nearly a dozen people, including off-duty doctors, nurses and a football coach, were among the first to administer lifesaving assistance to victims of the parade shooting.
“Things happen so quickly that your brain can’t possibly comprehend that there is an active shooter in your town, in your sleepy little neighborhood,” said Dr. Wendy Rush, an anesthesiologist with decades of experience working in trauma centers.
Rush joined Shapiro in trying to save an elderly man who had a gunshot wound in his thigh and another that left a gaping hole in his abdomen.
While Rush used a ventilation mask and bag to help the elderly man breathe, Shapiro and another bystander took turns giving chest compressions and holding pressure on his wounds.
All the while, “We didn’t know where the shooter was. We knew he wasn’t dead,” Rush said.
Nearly 30 minutes later, Rush boarded an ambulance alongside the dying man, and Shapiro, in shorts stained with blood, walked back to the bench where he’d been changing his shoes what felt like hours earlier.
The man died at the hospital, and was later identified as Stephen Straus, an 88-year-old financial advisor.
Rush’s husband and son were also on the scene. As members of Highland Park’s Community Emergency Response Team, both men have training in first aid and basic life support. They were working the parade expecting to assist with the regular crowd control and the occasional lost child.
Rush’s son cared for people with less critical gunshot wounds, applying tourniquets and pressure to stop their bleeding. Her husband, Rush said, spent most of his time caring for Keely Roberts, a school superintendent shot twice in her foot and leg.
Roberts’ 8-year-old son Cooper, shot in the chest, remains in serious condition at University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital with a severed spine.
His twin brother, Luke, was nearby.
“I’ll never forget his face. He was just hysterical. He kept saying, ‘Don’t let my mommy die, don’t let my mommy die. Don’t let her lips turn blue like my brother.’ It was the worst you could ever imagine,” Eddie Rush told Fox 32 Chicago.
Football coach Brad Hokin was at his usual spot at the beginning of the route when the shooting started. He took off running down the bloodied street past those with minor injuries and toward the people he could tell needed assistance most urgently.
When his wife, nurse practitioner Jacquie Toia, called from their seats about a quarter mile away to make sure he was OK, Hokin simply told her, “Get up here. We need you.”
Toia, 58, hurried to the scene still unsure of what was happening. When she saw the destruction, her instincts kicked into gear. As a nurse for 36 years, Toia had experience working in an emergency setting.
By that point, paramedics on scene had equipment, and Toia and another nurse on the scene began to administer IVs.
Meanwhile Hokin, with no prior medical training, was holding pressure on gunshot wounds and helping EMTs load the wounded onto gurneys until all the victims were safely en route to hospitals.
“We did what we could to take care of the immediate needs, and that’s probably the real tragedy – we didn’t have enough hands to do what needed to be done,” Toia said. Responders were overwhelmed by the sheer number of casualties.
“Thirty-six years in medicine is enough that loss is not a stranger to me,” Toia said. “This was so different. This was hell.”
Dr. David Baum, an OBGYN and longtime attendee of the parade, was sitting with his family when the shooting started. The doctor rushed to help, and found bodies destroyed by bullets. Baum recalled trying to move people to ambulances and seeing wounds unlike anything he’d dealt with before.
“These were wartime injuries,” Baum said.
Baum and Toia both expressed their frustrations that the shooter had such easy access to high-capacity weapons. “You should never have to worry about being killed in your street on the Fourth of July at a parade,” Toia said.
Dr. Rush’s son, Shane Selig, said everyone is still processing what happened.
“There are those that feel guilty they didn’t do more,” he said, while adding, “at least I could do something.”
But it is hard, this aftermath. People, he said, will be “forever scarred by this.” And it makes him angry.
The images of the hurt and dying haunt those who ran to help.
Shapiro wakes up and when he opens his eyes, “It’s the ’bang, bang, bang, bang, bang of the shooting and initial panic again.”
For Toia, “The children’s faces running and screaming and crying and falling will never escape me.”
Still, Hokin says it won't deter him next year from joining with the community he loves.
In his 58 years, he's been to the parade 52 times. Even during the pandemic when the parade was canceled, he went out just to say he was there.
“I’m sure next Fourth of July, I’ll be on the corner at 8 o’clock, waiting for the parade.” | https://www.wqad.com/article/news/nation-world/some-at-the-july-4-parade-ran-toward-gunfire-to-help/507-d1dbfa5b-75e7-4e44-8d8a-b5b3b1f33feb | 2022-07-11T21:09:04Z | https://www.wqad.com/article/news/nation-world/some-at-the-july-4-parade-ran-toward-gunfire-to-help/507-d1dbfa5b-75e7-4e44-8d8a-b5b3b1f33feb | true | 29 |

Tips for Packing for Comfort
For those of us who aren’t the backpacker/mountaineer type, the hardest part of travel is doing without the comforts of home. Luckily, though, there are some designers (what the backpacker type would call “outfitters”) who specialize in items that make anywhere in the world feel as comfortable as your own bedroom. Here’s what we’d pack for maximum comfort on our adventures.
Patra: Pure Silk Thermals
We’re not saying you should wear these on the outside, but in some cases you could. Beyond looks, they’re ultra-light, supremely comfortable, and yet have the ability to keep your body warm even on the frostiest of nights. Patra’s silk thermals come in women’s and men’s designs in a variety of different styles.
Sonicare: 9900 Prestige
Traveling with a familiar electric toothbrush can make any stateroom seem a touch more homey, but the latest model from Sonicare can make it seem downright indulgent. The 9900 Prestige has a computer brain that senses your brushing style and adapts as you brush, automatically exerting just enough pressure to care for your gums while efficiently leaving your pearly whites clean, fresh, and healthy. If that’s not enough, the sensors also connect to an app that gives advice on on pressure, motion, position, duration and frequency of brushing, and even tracks your progress by day, week, month, and year.

BELFAST, Maine (AP) — The University of Maine System chancellor who came under criticism for his handling of staffing and restructuring will keep his job for another year.
Trustees voted unanimously Monday to extend the contract for Chancellor Dannel Malloy despite recent votes of no confidence from faculty at three of the system’s seven campuses.
Hard feelings caused by the former two-term Connecticut governor came to a head with a botched hiring of a president for the Augusta campus.
Malloy declined to tell the search committee about previous no-confidence votes before the hiring of Michael Laliberte at the University of Maine at Augusta. Laliberte withdrew amid the controversy, but the system is on the hook for paying him up to $705,000 over three years.
The vote by trustees Monday at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast came after several faculty members called for Malloy's firing.
Malloy was hired to make some unpopular changes, including implementing a single systemwide accreditation for all campuses. Faculty members expressed worry that the changes were a pretext for consolidation and program cuts.
His contract as chancellor expired on June 1, but there was a temporary extension to allow the full board to vote at its regular meeting. | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/UMS-Chancellor-Dannel-Malloy-gets-contract-for-17297806.php | 2022-07-11T21:18:09Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/UMS-Chancellor-Dannel-Malloy-gets-contract-for-17297806.php | true | 11 |
If you are involved in basically any Pokémon-related media circles online, you are likely going to see new mockups, drawings, and “leaks” for the newest games pop up every day. But it is rare to see these supposedly leaked images and screengrabs pop up in a style that is believably close to what has already been shown in previous trailers.
In the case of the most recent Scarlet and Violet leaks making the rounds, several images of what appear to be the game’s gym leaders, another NPC, and several new Pokémon have appeared.
The biggest part of this leak involved what seems to be a new regional form of Girafarig, which shows the previously Psychic/Normal-type changing drastically in terms of coloration and design, with its sentient tail moving to engulf a much longer neck. The colorations likely hint at it being an Electric-type, but we won’t know for sure until this new form is officially confirmed.
The other three Pokémon shown in these leaks only appear in images that are very hard to make anything out of, though the community is already doing its best to piece things together based on the limited information provided.
As for the gym leaders, all of the images are equally blurry and only six characters are shown despite the leaker saying that it is all of them in the initial post—though more have been popping up. There is also another design shown off that is listed as “your rival,” meaning players might have multiple rivals again, something that has become commonplace in recent iterations.
The designs do look like they could fit with SV’s current art style and have distinct enough personalities to fit Game Freak’s track record with the important NPCs, but again, we likely won’t know for sure until the characters are revealed in future promotional material or the game releases.
One other big leak has also been making the rounds, with a different source claiming that Wooper will be getting a new regional variant in SV, along with an entirely different evolution separate from Quagsire. According to that rumor, Wooper will become a Poison-type, but no additional details are available.
All of this information is pure speculation right now, and with how common fake leaks are in the Pokémon community, it is best to assume nothing is true until Game Freak, The Pokémon Company, or Nintendo officially showcase the content themselves. But having fun with the rumors and content shown off is fair game. | https://dotesports.com/pokemon/news/regional-girafarig-gym-leader-designs-more-pokemon-potentially-revealed-scarlet-violet-leaks | 2022-07-11T21:18:48Z | https://dotesports.com/pokemon/news/regional-girafarig-gym-leader-designs-more-pokemon-potentially-revealed-scarlet-violet-leaks | false | 1 |
(Motor Authority) — You don’t use a sledgehammer to drive in a picture hook. You don’t swat a fly with Edward’s scissorhands. And you certainly don’t make a bundt cake in a springform pan. You, an enthusiastic driver, need the right tool for the job. Especially when you’re a hundred miles from Los Angeles, in blistering triple-digit heat, specifically to cake your innards in dust and flip the work-week grimace into a wide grin.
Enter the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor. Like the F-150 Raptor, it’s lightly contained chaos, a size-large container of whoop-ass available retail for the street, no after-modding needed.
It’s purpose-built for high-speed, off-road rampages. To fit the part, it wears the oddly tiered look that all bro-dozers share—it’s like a smaller vehicle drove up into the middle of a much bigger car and parked there. It’s so big, it doesn’t fit in the Bronco factory without some modifications.
But that’s just the start: the Bronco Raptor stuffs a 418-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 with 440 lb-ft of torque under its vented fiberglass hood and ships its output to all four wheels through a 10-speed paddle-shifted automatic transmission. A performance dual-exhaust system with differing runner lengths comes with an electronic valve system that can damp exhaust noise for quieter driving, or let the Raptor rip.
It’s been through a few rounds of anabolic add-ons. The four-wheel-drive system is shared with other Broncos, but the Sasquatch package’s 2-speed transfer case comes here with a 3.06 4Lo ratio for a 67.7:1 crawl ratio. A bigger driveshaft sends power to a Dana 50 rear axle; a Dana 44 axle slings things up front. All around, thicker half-shafts (from 5mm to 9mm) stiffen the Bronco Raptor’s ability to withstand impacts from its aerial acts—more on that in a bit. All told, the Raptor’s track ends up 8.6 inches wider than a stock Bronco’s—and it can tow up to 4,500 lb thanks to a specific Raptor Tow/Haul mode and additional space under the body that permits a stouter hitch.
Elsewhere down under, the Bronco Raptor adapts the F-150 Raptor suspension, shocks, hubs, brakes, and exhaust. It retunes the other Raptor’s Fox 3.1 internal bypass semi-active dampers for its specific weight and traction needs. Its 17-inch wheels (Beadlock-capable wheels will be available) come wrapped in 37-inch BFGoodrich K02 all-terrain tires that bolt to an M14 pattern like the F-150 rather than the standard Bronco’s M12 pattern. In all, the Braptor sports 13.1 inches of ground clearance, 1.6 inches more than a Sasquatch Bronco on 35-inch tires, with 13 inches of front suspension travel and 14.0 inches at the rear. A bolstered frame with a carbon-composite brace across the roof’s B-pillars increases torsional stiffness by 50%.
Bronco Raptor: King of the Hammers
Ideally, I’d take a single-use tool like a Bronco Raptor to the home of the off-road gods: the King of the Hammers course in California’s Johnson Valley. King of the Hammers cooks up world-class off-road racing with open races for spectators and a classic Coachella Valley festival atmosphere. Think Burning Man plus Mad Max, and triple the potential for dehydration.
We line up for the morning’s low-speed rock crawl initiation, and with a disconnected front sway bar—one of a passel of buttons on the Bronco Raptor dash—we clamber over a spine of rocks that probably mark an ancient volcano’s dying sputters. “Avenge me, break some A-arms, and slice some tires,” it may have said if volcanoes could talk.
With a helmet strapped to my head, in full Rick Moranis “Ghostbusters” homage, I begin carefully picking my way up the rock path. The Raptor’s pretty black donuts pass within a hair of a legion of sharp rocks, gliding by with just a credit card’s worth of space.
The wide-beam Bronco can get a little slimmer by unbuckling its add-ons. The flares and fenders bolt on and off, though they require special tools instead of using fasteners like standard Broncos. Each Bronco Raptor comes with a specific tool kit to remove the fenders and flares for extreme off-roading; the same kit provides the tool to remove the six bolts holding the running boards, which hide standard rock rails.
Trotter has jokes. He becomes the MST3K to my off-roading adventure when he cautions us about a big rock ahead. No sooner than he says, “it’s a little tire kicker, when you find it you’ll know,” my ribs and my kidneys decide to hook up as they matched on Tinder. I land hard in a rock pocket and for a moment, swear I’ve coughed up a chunk of the spleen.
“Marty found it,” Trotter deadpans. Now I know when that foot-plus of rear-end travel’s used up.
To keep the rest of my spleen intact, I rummage through memory to find old horseback riding skills. I post up and let the Bronco handle the path with equal parts speed and prowess. It clangs and clips along, while its Fox shocks duel between sag and compression. I could learn something from these shocks at my age—but try as I might,
Pump up the jams
After a water break, our Bronco busters step up to be fitted with full helmets and HANS devices. We’ll be driving a high-speed course and for a grand finale, jumping the Bronco Raptor into the air, if briefly. I lived in Georgia, and I know how to “Dukes of Hazzard” this bit, I tell myself. Or so I think.
I make the mistake of sending a picture home of me in the setup, which I describe as a cross-your-heart death preventer. “Are you on the road or in the air? And HOW fast???” There’s not a diacritical mark my husband doesn’t adore.
“It’s off-road racing and jumping,” I answer. “So, both?”
Before long, we’re miles off the trodden dirt track, on a deeply rutted path that’s coated in silt. It billows off the rear tires like wildfires as I skim through an autocross course meant to train for the big time coming up shortly. I stab at the gas and provoke the Raptor into loop-de-looping figure-eights. It doesn’t take much to get it angry. Waves of dust blot out the view for everyone hundreds of feet around. The Braptor loves to spin, as the constant buzz of its turbo V-6 broadcasts a midrange snarl that sounds like it’s sampled from murder hornets.
I take that skill to a long course, where the replaceable rock guards and wide-view LED marker lights make the case for themselves. First I scrabble behind a lead-follow instructor who races through a backdrop that probably doubled for Tatooine at some point in “Star Wars” reshoots, pounding and bounding and rounding through turns like Dr. Seuss’ musical bicycle without the who-clatters and who-claps. Chasing a bright-orange truck shouldn’t be tough, but wind-blown dust throws up a wall ahead of me as the SUV hammers over buckboard and washboard, really, any kind of board. Now I know what a milkshake feels like. Those LED lights are the only thing between me and rear-ending the Braptor ahead.
Then, for some inexplicable reason, they loose us on the off-road course alone, one at a time. I yank the Raptor out of the pit area—it’s a literal pit, a dry lakebed a mile from what passes for passable bathrooms—by posting up on the gas pedal, and immediately, the dun-covered cones and pink ribbons that try to mark the course turn into a dust devil. Silver skeletons of sagebrush sail past my side view; the instructor’s trail of dust is gone and so am I, careening through a few mild turns, cranking the Raptor up to 75 mph plus to see what it can do, aware for a bright moment that I’m on my own, save for the dust cloud I kick skyward.
The only reinforcements out here are the Raptor’s aluminum front skid plate and steel modular bumper, and I call on them right away. What do you call it when you go off-off-road? I do that. I hit the wall of a rut and pop out like a weasel, sliding at a 30-degree angle up the bank and then over that picturesque sagebrush. The Raptor snubs it off with its massive 37-inch tires, drops back into the dugout trail, and I scorch whatever earth can still be scorched until I arrive at a welcome sight: a spotter who sets me up for a leap into the air.
The jump’s easy on the pedals, but sits big on my brain. How’s this thing going to react when it falls back to earth, all 4,500 lb of it? I take faith in the instructor’s directions and push it to 40, 45, then 50 mph before I angle left then drift up to 65 mph before the road rises to meet me. I take off—and then for a brief second, I’m floating high enough for a barbell to pass under the tires before I drop back onto the 108-degree hellscape.
Those big donuts cushion my fall, and the Bronco Raptor lands like it’s on pillows. Donuts? Pillows? It’s the most outrageous machine this side of Homer Simpson’s Canyonero—only here it’s me that’s animated. I can’t stop chattering about the Raptor’s exhilarating portfolio of stunts. It’s capable, outrageously so. The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor can do all the things you’d normally only do to rental cars and ATVs. If the job is off-road lunacy and weekend thrill-driving, it’s the perfect tool. | https://www.yourerie.com/automotive/review-2022-ford-bronco-raptor-bedevils-the-dust-terrorizes-all-terrain/ | 2022-07-11T21:19:50Z | https://www.yourerie.com/automotive/review-2022-ford-bronco-raptor-bedevils-the-dust-terrorizes-all-terrain/ | true | 20 |

Great Panther Mining Announces Share Consolidation
TSX: GPR | NYSE American: GPL
This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated October 15, 2021, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated September 10, 2021.
VANCOUVER, BC, July 11, 2022 /CNW/ - Great Panther Mining Limited (TSX: GPR) (NYSE-A: GPL) ("Great Panther" or the "Company"), a growth-oriented precious metals producer focused on the Americas, announces that the Company will undertake a share consolidation (the "Consolidation") of its common shares (the "Shares") on the basis of one post-Consolidation for every 10 pre-Consolidation Shares.
The Company currently has 471,164,174 Shares issued and outstanding. Upon completion of the Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 47,116,417 Shares issued and outstanding. Some slight variance is expected due to fractional rounding. As is customary, to reflect the Consolidation, all outstanding incentive stock options granted pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Incentive Plan") will be adjusted to increase their exercise price by a factor of 10 and to reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise by dividing by 10. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the Consolidation will also be made to outstanding deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units granted pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
The Company expects the Consolidation will allow it to comply with the minimum price listing standard of the NYSE American and therefore maintain its listing of Shares on that exchange. Subject to the Company receiving all required approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and NYSE American, the Consolidation is expected to take effect at close of business on July 21, 2022. Notice of the Consolidation has been provided to the TSX and NYSE American, and the Common Shares are expected to begin trading on a post-Consolidation basis on the TSX and NYSE American on or about July 25, 2022, under a new CUSIP number.
No fractional Shares will be issued pursuant to the Consolidation. In lieu of any such fractional Shares, each registered shareholder of the Company otherwise entitled to a fractional Common Share following the implementation of the Consolidation will receive the nearest whole number of post-Consolidation Shares.
Holders of shares of the Company who hold uncertificated shares (that is shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical share certificate), either as registered holders or beneficial owners, will have their existing book-entry account(s) electronically adjusted by the Company's transfer agent or, in the case of beneficial shareholders, by their brokerage firms, banks, trusts or other nominees that hold in street name for their benefit. Such holders generally do not need to take any additional actions to exchange their pre-Consolidation Shares for post-Consolidation Shares. If you hold your Shares with such a bank, broker or other nominee, and if you have questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.
Registered shareholders holding share certificates will be mailed a letter of transmittal advising of the Consolidation and instructing them to surrender the share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Shares for replacement certificates or a direct registration advice representing their post-Consolidation Shares. Until surrendered for exchange, each share certificate formerly representing pre-Consolidation Shares will be deemed to represent the number of whole post-Consolidation Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
Great Panther is a growth-oriented precious metals producer focused on the Americas. The Company owns a portfolio of assets in Brazil, Mexico and Peru that includes three gold and silver mines, an advanced development project and a large land package with district-scale potential. Great Panther is focused on creating long-term stakeholder value through safe and sustainable production, reinvesting into exploration and pursuing acquisition opportunities to complement its existing portfolio. Great Panther trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GPR and on the NYSE American under the symbol GPL.

ON his short tour of Kuje Correctional Centre, following an attack on the facility by members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), during which hundreds of inmates escaped, President Muhammadu Buhari could not hide his disappointment with the whole system of security intelligence in the country.
And his words were appropriately probing. “How did the defences at the prison fail to prevent the attack? How many inmates were in the facility? How many of them can you account for? How many personnel did you have on duty? How many of them were armed? Were there guards on the watchtower? What did they do? Does the CCTV work?”, the President queried, and demanded Prof Ibrahim Gambari, said at the end of his speech that he will be expecting “a comprehensive report” on the incident. But Buhari’s brief outing that day illustrates almost all that is wrong with his administration in the past seven years.
He was there as Nigeria’s President, but spoke unlike a president. All the questions the President raised were absolutely valid, but he raised them to no one in particular and received no response from anyone in particular. And if previous experience of this government were any guide, and it is, no one will be held responsible for such a massive breach of security.
The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who, truth be told, has shown more interest in the political affairs of his home state than his job description at the ministry, will remain in post. The Controller General of Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa, at whose watch there has been more prison breaks than at any time in living memory, will also remain in post. The President will neither issue nor demand sanction of any kind on this, and the government will simply lurch on to the next disaster waiting to happen.
The above description is essentially Buhari’s model of political leadership. He gives power and authority to appointees, but demands almost nothing of them in return: not performance, and not responsibility for non-performance. Sanctions—resignation or the sack—have therefore little place in his system. It is this model of government, this government without governing, this conferral of authority on persons without a corresponding demand for responsibility and accountability, that has brought President Buhari, and the country he leads, to where we are now in Nigeria.
The economy is in a tailspin as illustrated by a biting fuel scarcity, a currency not worth the cost of printing it, and rising prices of all goods and services, even as incomes and jobs stagnate dwindle. We understand that Nigeria’s economy is not immune from the global economic challenges being faced all over the world, but this government can do and needs to do more to assure citizens that things would get better. As it is, Nigeria is on its knees, and Nigerians can testify, and have testified, that they have never had it worse in every respect.
We feel compelled to point out to the President, since his advisers will not tell him, that almost all his achievements in government across all sectors are now being completely eroded even before he leaves office. His signature anti-corruption agenda, which scored considerable early gains, is now effectively in the doldrums.
Does anyone really remember that President Buhari was once an anti-corruption champion? Life without fuel scarcity, which Nigerians witnessed for the best part of this government, has now been replaced with a biting scarcity of petroleum products of the sort Nigerians have scarcely known before, even as subsidy bills and borrowings have ballooned through the roof and beyond national capacity to repay.
Inflation, of food particularly, and overall, both of which the government managed to bring under control following two recessions, is now on the rise again and has reached levels never witnessed before. The government’s defeat of Boko Haram, technical or otherwise, is now no more than a victory recorded too early. Nigeria, it must be said, is now effectively back to where the President took it over in 2015, only much, much worse off.
Of all these woes, the security situation bears repeating. The attacks by bandits on the President’s own advance convoy in Katsina last week is directly symbolic of how bad things have turned. That bandits would dare attack the convoy of Nigeria’s Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, and shortly after killing an otherwise brave police officer, is a loud enough statement, if any were needed, that no one is safe in Buhari’s Nigeria.
But the fact is that while in the past five years or so when the government had waxed upbeat over its “successes” in the fight against Boko Haram in the North East, millions of Nigerians in the North West and parts of the North Central states have lived under a security situation that in reality, if not in recognition, has been just as deadly a form of terror as Boko Haram ever was.
The President and the government just didn’t pay enough attention to it. And on top of that, Boko Haram now appears to have returned in full scale, with attacks on soldiers and security formations fast assuming a regularity that should compel the government to act quickly.
Where is the action? Where is the empathy? And where is the government? Nigerians have a right under the constitution, and indeed, by any understanding of democratic governance to expect all of these from their own government. But again, if experience is any guide, they are unlikely to get any of it. And that too must be said.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah judge granted a request from Planned Parenthood to delay implementing the state’s trigger law banning most abortions, keeping them legal up to 18 weeks until the court rules on the ban’s constitutionality.
With the ruling, Utah maintains its position among a group of states where abortion rights are in legal limbo amid lawsuits challenging bans on state constitutional grounds.
“This law selects a single view of abortion and imposes it on everyone,” Judge Andrew Stone said, arguing that Planned Parenthood’s arguments merited further consideration.
The decision comes two weeks after Stone put a temporary hold on the law which bans abortions with exceptions for rape, incest or maternal health.
The implications of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade are being sorted out nationwide.
A Minnesota judge declared most of that state's restrictions on abortion unconstitutional. In Michigan, a campaign turned in a record-breaking number of signatures so voters can be asked on the November ballot whether to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
Last month's Dobbs v. Jackson ruling overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that found that the right to abortion was protected by the U.S. Constitution. The issue reverted to the states, setting off new court battles and ballot initiatives as many states act to curtail or ban abortions.
Utah is among more than a dozen states with trigger laws designed to limit abortion upon the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The Utah law bans nearly all abortions, except for in cases of rape, incest or when maternal health is threatened. A Republican-appointed judge blocked its enforcement for 14 days after the state's branch of Planned Parenthood sued.
Planned Parenthood argues the law violates the Utah Constitution’s equal protection and right to privacy provisions. Utah’s attorneys argue that state abortion bans pre-dating Roe span to when the state constitution was drafted and accuse Planned Parenthood of trying to “interrupt and ultimately override the Legislature’s judgment.”
The judge granted a preliminary injunction, which would let Planned Parenthood clinics continue to provide abortion care until the court rules on the constitutional questions.
Since the case began, another Utah law banning most abortions after 18 weeks took effect.
The judge in Minnesota declared most of the state's restrictions on abortion unconstitutional, including a 24-hour waiting period and a requirement that both parents be notified before a minor can get an abortion. Ramsey County District Judge Thomas Gilligan also struck down requirements that only physicians can perform abortions and that abortions after the first trimester must be performed in hospitals. His order took effect immediately, meaning the limits can’t be enforced.
Gender Justice and other abortion rights supporters argued that the restrictions were unconstitutional under a 1995 Minnesota Supreme Court holding that the state constitution protects abortion rights. The judge called that case “significant and historic” and said it’s unaffected by the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
“These abortion laws violate the right to privacy because they infringe upon the fundamental right under the Minnesota Constitution to access abortion care and do not withstand strict scrutiny,” Gilligan wrote.
Opponents of abortion rights condemned the decision. Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life said the laws challenged in the case are “common sense measures that support and empower pregnant women” and striking them down blocks residents from “enacting reasonable protections for unborn children and their mothers.” A Republican attorney general candidate called on the Democratic attorney general to appeal.
Alongside lawsuits to challenge bans, abortion rights supporters are trying to add ballot questions to enshrine abortion rights in state constitutions.
More than 750,000 signatures were turned in by the campaign in Michigan on Monday — close to double the number needed. The Democratic governor and attorney general in the battleground state have both made abortion rights a centerpiece of their reelection campaigns.
“The number of signatures showed that here in Michigan we trust women. We trust people. We trust doctors, not politicians, to make decisions about our body, our pregnancy and parenthood,” Reproductive Freedom for All spokesperson Shanay Watson-Whittaker said during a news conference in Lansing.
The signatures still must be verified and validated. A judge has temporarily blocked a 1931 Michigan law that would make abortion a felony except when “necessary to preserve the life of such woman.”
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has said that the law is invalid under the due process and equal protection clauses of the state constitution. The injunction, which stems from a Planned Parenthood lawsuit, could be revoked at any time.
Last week, backers of a last-minute effort to enshrine abortion rights in the Arizona Constitution failed to collect enough signatures to make the November ballot. In California, voters will decide in November whether to guarantee the right to an abortion in their constitution. Democrats who control the government in California fear the state’s abortion laws could be vulnerable to legal challenges.

Klarna’s announcement that its long-expected funding round has come to a close brought with it one of the steepest valuation resets in memory, at least as far as operating businesses are concerned. Now worth $6.7 billion after raising $800 million, the European BNPL provider is worth a fraction of its self just last year, though the new war chest means the company is now well-fueled to execute its business plan.
The movement of Klarna’s price has been something to behold. Coming into 2022 worth more than $46 billion, prices for the company’s next funding round were reportedly initially around the $50 billion mark. That became something around $30 billion, then $15 billion, then $10 billion. Klarna’s final price cut feels punitive. But is it really? And now that Klarna has seen its valuation come down so very sharply, is Affirm — a U.S.-based, publicly listed rival in the buy now, pay later (BNPL) space — cheap?
Let’s do some math and find out. | https://techcrunch.com/2022/07/11/now-that-klarna-has-a-new-valuation-is-affirm-cheap/ | 2022-07-11T21:28:36Z | https://techcrunch.com/2022/07/11/now-that-klarna-has-a-new-valuation-is-affirm-cheap/ | true | 1 |

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations said Monday it expects the world’s population to reach 8 billion on Nov. 15 this year and it projects that India will replace China as the world’s most populous nation next year.
The report, released on World Population Day, said global population growth fell below 1% in 2020 and is growing at its slowest rate since 1950.
According to the latest U.N. projections, the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s. It is projected to remain at that level until 2100.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called 2022 a “milestone year” with “the birth of the Earth’s eight billionth inhabitant.”
The report, World Population Prospects 2022, put the population at 7.942 billion and forecast it will reach 8 billion on November 15th.
“This is an occasion to celebrate our diversity, recognize our common humanity, and marvel at advancements in health that have extended lifespans and dramatically reduced maternal and child mortality rates,” Guterres said in a statement. “At the same time, it is a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for our planet and a moment to reflect on where we still fall short of our commitments to one another.” | https://fox4kc.com/news/national/un-expects-worlds-population-to-reach-8-billion-soon/ | 2022-07-11T21:29:01Z | https://fox4kc.com/news/national/un-expects-worlds-population-to-reach-8-billion-soon/ | true | 48 |
ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In July, United States Senate Federal Credit Union (USSFCU) made big moves with increases on almost every Share Certificate tier level. The biggest increase was to the 5-Year Certificate with a whopping jump of 1.2 basis points sending the rate soaring to 2.28% APY*. These rate moves by the Credit Union catapulted USSFCU to having rates 40% higher than the national average.
2.28% APY* – 5-Year Certificate /IRA/ROTH
2.02% APY* – 4-Year Certificate /IRA/ROTH
1.77% APY* – 3-Year Certificate /IRA/ROTH
1.51% APY* – 2-Year Certificate /IRA/ROTH
1.26% APY* – 1-Year Certificate /IRA/ROTH
A similar increase was made on the Bump Certificate, which saw the biggest jump on the 5-Year with another 1.2 basis points increase, launching the 5-Year Bump Certificate ($60k+) to 2.17% APY. With rates consistently on the rise, this may be the best option to lock in now and bump up once the rates peak.
2.17% APY* – 5-Year Bump Certificate/IRA/ROTH
1.92 % APY* – 4-Year Bump Certificate/IRA/ROTH
1.66% APY* – 3-Year Bump Certificate/IRA/ROTH

A share Certificate is a credit union's version of a certificate of deposit or CD. Certificates typically have much higher yields than savings or money market account, but they require an investment timeframe anywhere from a matter of months to years. Certificates are also seen as a safer way to invest than the stock marketing since you can never lose you initial investment and you lock your rate for a period of time.** Much like a bank's CD, a share certificate is federally insured up to $250,000 by the NCUA. Now that you know what a share certificate is, here is a great article with investment strategies for share certificates and CDs.
Established in 1935 and headquartered in Alexandria, USSFCU is a $1.4 billion financial institution serving over 45,000 members around the world. A Best of Bauer financial institution for the past 25 years, USSFCU has a track record of stability, security and service. Offering rates 40% higher than the national average, USSFCU is committed to giving back to its members.***
USSFCU membership is open through a contribution to the US Capitol Historical Society (USCHS) or by joining the American Consumer Council – Virginia Chapter (VACC). Membership is also open to employees of The United States Senate, The United States Supreme Court, The Government Accountability Office, US Capitol Police and over 100 additional Select Employer Groups.

The revolving door keeps swinging at Gap Inc.
Sonia Syngal, president and chief executive officer, has left her position and from the company’s board, and will be succeeded on an interim basis by Bob Martin, executive chairman of the board.
Syngal’s departure is hardly surprising considering Gap Inc.’s sustained inability to pull itself out of the doldrums. It’s three biggest brands – Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic – have all been faltering for some time, though Old Navy only in the last few seasons after a series of missteps over sizing.
Banana Republic, though still experiencing declining sales as of late, since last fall has exhibited more stylish and appealing collections harking back to the brands safari-style roots. The brand needs to reclaim customers it lost over the years.
Syngal earned the respect of the industry during her early days at Old Navy, where she was instrumental in catapulting the growth of the family apparel business. However, her strengths are in operations and logistics and she is not considered a merchant.
She rose to CEO of Gap Inc. in March 2020, right at the start of the pandemic, and the stock did show some increases for awhile, though the business and the stock started to decline heading into 2022.
With the announcement of her departure, which came late Monday afternoon, the stock fell 3.88 percent in after-hours trading
Also on Monday, the company said that former Walmart executive Horacio “Haio” Barbeito will become president and CEO of Old Navy, the value and family-oriented chain, and Gap’s biggest division. Barbeito will join Old Navy on August 1.
“Haio is a true multi-disciplined retail leader who shares our vision of bringing the democracy of style and service to millions of Old Navy customers, leveraging our greatest assets – our people and our product. We are thrilled for Haio to bring his authentic leadership style to the team, backed by a strong track record of delivering growth through challenging times at complex global organizations,” said Martin. “Particularly in this environment, Haio’s sincere customer empathy, operational excellence, and passion for product and marketing innovation will fuel Old Navy’s competitive strengths on its path to $10 billion, rooted in fun, family, fashion and value.”
Barbeito most recently served as president and CEO of Walmart Canada, where he led more than 70,000 associates and drove significant growth in the online business, Gap said in its announcement. During his 26-year career at Walmart, he served in a variety of leadership roles across merchandising, marketing, supply chain and store operations with global experience in five countries. He has served in CEO roles at Walmart for 10 years, first as president and CEO of Walmart Argentina and Chile before taking the role as CEO of Walmart Canada, where he has spearheaded a modernization effort to grow that market’s omnichannel business.
Mayo Shattuck will continue to serve as lead independent director.
Bob Martin is a 40-year industry veteran with extensive retail experience at corporations including Dillard’s Inc. and Walmart, where he served as CEO of its International division. He has served on the Gap Inc. board since 2002, as lead independent director from 2003 to 2015, and as executive chairman since 2020.
“Leading this great company and our 100,000-strong employees since 2020, through unprecedented challenges for our industry, and society, has been an immense honor. Through it all, Gap Inc. and its dedicated teams have seized change as an opportunity, restructured for future growth, crystallized unique brand identities rooted in cultural relevance and fiercely chased transformation,” said Syngal, in a statement. “With an exceptional and industry-leading CEO for Old Navy now appointed, I am thankful to have the board’s support in stepping down, ushering in a new opportunity for fresh perspective and rejuvenated leadership to carry Gap Inc. forward.
“The company’s co-founders, Doris and Don Fisher, created a lasting and undeniable legacy for Gap Inc. as a company with a heart. It is a home for creatives, innovators, data scientists, operators and customer advocates, to build their careers and break boundaries, just as it enabled me to do the same,” added Syngal.
“My fellow board members and I want to thank Sonia for her steadfast leadership and many contributions to Gap Inc. during her 18 years with us. Most notably, amidst significant global disruption, social unrest and economic instability, Sonia had an immediate impact as Gap Inc. CEO, establishing a clear strategic direction and cultural identity that has united this global enterprise as a force for good with powerful brands poised to stand the test of time,” said Martin. “While a search is underway, the board has complete confidence in the formidable leadership team to guide the company through this transition. And I look forward to championing this incredible team as they continue to write Gap Inc.’s next chapter with grit and passion.”
The company is expecting net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 to decline in the approximately high-single digit range, relatively in-line with its prior expectations.
The company continues to navigate margin headwinds and, as previously communicated, still expects to incur an estimated $50 million of transitory incremental air freight expense in the quarter as well as inflationary costs on raw materials and freight. In addition, it has taken a more aggressive approach to assortment balancing resulting in increased promotional activity during the quarter, which it expects will have a negative impact on gross margin in the quarter.
Furthermore, the company now anticipates second quarter fiscal 2022 adjusted operating margin percentage to be zero to slightly negative. | https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/gap-inc-sonia-syngal-departs-1235249899/ | 2022-07-11T21:31:14Z | https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/gap-inc-sonia-syngal-departs-1235249899/ | false | 2 |
ST. LOUIS — Developers announced plans Monday to expand the capacity of a controversial wind power transmission line so much that it would match that of four new nuclear power plants.
Invenergy Transmission, the Chicago-based company attempting to build the Grain Belt Express, now says the project will be able to deliver 5,000 megawatts of power, about 25% more than originally planned, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Investment in the project, which would stretch about 800 miles (1287.48 kilometers) from Kansas to Indiana, on a route crossing Missouri and Illinois, also would soar to about $7 billion, Invenergy said.
Various municipal utilities in Missouri have long intended to buy power from the project, but now five times as much electricity will be delivered to the state — rising from 500 to 2,500 megawatts, compared to earlier plans.
The project will help unlock $7.5 billion in energy cost savings in Missouri and Illinois, according to its developers.
The Grain Belt Express has the support of several area advocacy groups including the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association and the Associated Industries of Missouri.
But some farmers who don’t want high-power transmission lines on their land have fought the project. | https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/post-tribune/ct-ptb-wind-power-transmission-ap-0712-20220711-cnp5o4cujragtewxnfs5m75f2i-story.html | 2022-07-11T21:32:57Z | https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/post-tribune/ct-ptb-wind-power-transmission-ap-0712-20220711-cnp5o4cujragtewxnfs5m75f2i-story.html | false | 12 |

The bonfire builders at Craigyhill in Larne say they were left emotional following the death of John Steele, who fell from a nearby, much smaller structure at the weekend.
he two fires are within walking distance of each other in an area where ‘Steeler’ was well known in the community.
The Larne man’s funeral service will be held at his Lindara Drive home on Thursday at 2pm, before burial in Larne Cemetery.
His death is clearly felt among those in the predominantly loyalist area.
The smaller fire at Fairway was dismantled following Saturday’s accident and a memorial service attended by hundreds of local people and a loyalist band was held on Sunday night.
The bonfire at Craigyhill now forms the centrepiece of the town’s Eleventh Night celebrations, the builders hoping to break a world record.
They tell me it is dedicated to Mr Steele, a father of two daughters, and that they have the support of his family to carry on with their world record building endeavour.
Visible from some distance away the bonfire is something of an attraction with a steady stream of cars and people waiting to get their picture taken standing in front of the towering structure.
It has now been officially measured and certified and will be sent to the Guinness Book of Records. It is estimated to be over 200ft high.
The record for largest bonfire is currently held by the town of Scheveningen in the Netherlands.
Social media has been flooded with pictures of the fire, but they don’t do justice to its scale – the pyre is enormous and towers over the skyline leading up to the estate of small neatly kept houses.
Situated in the centre of a large field you can see that some safety measures have been put in place. There is no official legislation to govern the fires, and any attempts to introduce mandatory regulation have been met with resistance.
Instead, they tell me this is self-regulation. A large cordon is around the fire with volunteers in high-visibility vests ‘guarding’ the site to stop children and those keen on getting the best picture from getting too close.
There is a large crane that was used to help move the thousands of wooden pallets to the top of the structure.
‘James’, one of the main bonfire builders, says they have learned over the years how to make the structures stronger and more stable by tightly packing the pallets at the base, they build a smaller bonfire inside the larger shell.
“There’s a bonfire inside that one and then we just keep adding, it’s just something we’ve learned, what works and what doesn’t.”
It’s hard to know of any safe way to have a 200ft plus towering inferno in the centre of a built-up area, but they maintain they take safety very seriously.
James explains that they used harnesses when building the huge structure in case of falls.
Mr Steele (35) was on top of a 50ft fire when he fell on Saturday evening. Emergency services were called and there were attempts to revive him but he suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene.
The Craigyhill builders say they decided to carry on after getting the support of Mr Steele's family.
“We had a meeting to decide what to do, there was a lot of emotion,” says James.
While the nearest houses are a distance from the bonfire, there is a playpark close by that risks being damaged by the heat from the blaze.
In previous years, windows have been covered to protect them from the intense heat the fire generates and the Fire Service has been in the area to dampen down any property at risk.
But there is always an unknown risk, with wind direction playing a major part.
How do they know what direction it’s going to fall in?
The answer is they don’t, but he says they have an expert advising them on the best way to light the fire to minimise risk.
Last year the fire did collapse, and there were dramatic scenes with burning wooden pallets scattering spectators who had to run to safety. Thankfully no-one was injured.
On that occasion the fire was 147ft high, this year it’s more than 50ft on top of that.
The bonfire committee is made up of young men in their early 20s and a few in their 30s. They wear tops with Craigyhill Bonfire logos. They also have an army of volunteers in high-viz vests helping and tell me there are Catholics among their ranks.
They say they have a clean-up team that will move in after the fire to lift rubbish left by spectators.
It is an exclusively male pursuit, but the community is involved in supporting the bonfire builders.
Naturally distrustful of media, the welcome at some bonfire sites in the past has been less than cordial for journalists, but the Larne bonfire builders are polite, welcoming and keen to answer questions and engage. They say they have been inundated with interview requests from foreign media crews.
There are no tricolours or election posters on site. The area is staunchly loyalist and there are paramilitary murals on nearby walls and Union Jack flags.
There are over 20,000 pallets on the Craigyhill bonfire, where do they all come from?
They builders say fundraising starts every July as soon as the last embers die of the annual fire. The say the majority are bought through money raised in the community and broken or unusable pallets donated.
That money raised also goes to pay for a festival with DJs playing throughout the day of the Eleventh, the traditional start of the Twelfth celebrations.
There are no tyres or toxic materials on the fire.
The death of Mr Steele has increased calls for mandatory regulation of fires. The desire to compete and build increasingly larger and taller structures brings with it significant safety risks.
But even with a functioning Assembly, a political solution to bonfires has never been found.
If self-regulation is seen as the way forward, the Craigyhill fire will be held up as an example of what can happen. The young men responsible for building it seemed oblivious to the pressure on their shoulders yesterday. | https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/record-breaking-200ft-bonfire-dedicated-to-mr-steele-41831924.html | 2022-07-11T21:35:19Z | https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/record-breaking-200ft-bonfire-dedicated-to-mr-steele-41831924.html | false | 1 |
“When I resigned from my position as Minister for Levelling Up last week, I did not do so lightly.
“Among the many challenges facing our great country, the weakness in too many parts of our economy is one of the most crucial, but toughest, to fix.“I loved working to solve these longstanding problems and to repay the trust of voters who for the first time chose us in 2019.“Alongside me throughout my time in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities right to the very end, co-signing my letter of resignation was a colleague who is the antidote to these problems.“Kemi Badenoch understands better than most the challenges facing the United Kingdom and its many different communities.“She has the plan and ability to overcome them, and crucially, values the truth above all else.“When working with Kemi, I was consistently impressed by her mastery of and attention to the detail, and her strong and calm judgement on all manner of things across her brief.“I was also impressed by her principles, staunch and fair, that guided her thinking instead of being themselves guided by the current climate - particularly on all issues of culture, race and gender.
“When the worst and most extreme elements of the Labour left were screaming at her at the despatch box, Kemi was always calm, eloquent and effective at winning these key arguments.“Kemi understands the greatness that our country represents, sees the things that many of us take for granted and appreciates what the UK has to offer.“She sees the Great in Britain, in our culture and our shared values of freedom, fairness, community and family.
“She is not afraid to be proud of her nation and will defend it and its record to the hilt.“But this does not mean that she is blind or oblivious to the challenges that we and much of our society is facing.
“On the contrary, she understands better than most the severe need for all of our communities to share in our economic growth, and that what voters want is to be treated with respect by the Government, not coddled and misled.
“Her values, life experience, and talent made her an excellent Minister, and I know will make her a fantastic leader.
“She consistently impressed me in the department with how capable she was at making things actually change in Whitehall, often far easier said than done.
“Where many choose to just sound off about their problems, Kemi would be able to actually do something about them.
“We need someone with these skills calling the shots.“What is also required in a leader is not just intelligence but the ability - and willingness - to hear both sides of an argument without rushing to judgement or being biased in either direction, another rare skill.“It is this ability that will help her to unite the party, and appeal to a very broad range of people.
“She will always listen to the arguments, take on board the facts, and set a clear course, all the while communicating the why in a straight, and honest way.” | https://www.harboroughmail.co.uk/news/politics/harborough-mp-neil-obrien-sets-out-why-kemi-badenoch-should-become-our-next-prime-minister-3764426 | 2022-07-11T21:35:22Z | https://www.harboroughmail.co.uk/news/politics/harborough-mp-neil-obrien-sets-out-why-kemi-badenoch-should-become-our-next-prime-minister-3764426 | true | 1 |
John noted the local July 4 crime spree in “War zone Minneapolis.” Where were the police? At Alpha News Pafoua Yang reports “MPD had 80 officers to respond to 1,300 calls Monday night.” “MPD” is the Minneapolis Police Department. “Monday night” was the evening of July 4. For some reason or other, the MPD is stretched a little thin.
Today’s Star Tribune carries the Andy Mannix/Jeff Hargarten story “‘We’re in dire trouble:’ After July 4th shooting, Minneapolis braces for more gun violence.” Subhead: “Police say low staffing levels hinder their response to calls.” The Star Tribune advises that you can save 3 minutes by listening to the article with Speechify. I advise that you can save 6 minutes by skipping the story and the audio and reading the headline.
The Star Tribune is proud of its coverage of Minneapolis’s public safety crisis. Last week
Editorial Editor and Star Tribune Vice President Scott Gillespie flagged the paper’s editorial on the issue (“July 4th mayhem shows the need for the city to step up and for the state to be involved”) in his daily email. Gillespie bragged: “Long before George Floyd’s murder, the Editorial Board warned of the impact of rising crime in downtown Minneapolis and a Police Department inadequately staffed to respond, let alone prevent it.”
Gillespie omitted any consideration of the Star Tribune’s contribution to the crisis it decries. He doesn’t see any reason to ask the question we have posed repeatedly since the summer of Saint George Floyd. Who in his right mind would go to work for the Minneapolis Police Department?
Incidentally, this past Thursday Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey tapped Cedric Alexander to become the city’s first community safety commissioner (overseeing the MPD and four other public safety organizations), assuming the city council approves of the arrangement. The Star Tribune characterizes Alexander as “a nationally known law enforcement veteran with expertise in psychology.”
One has to turn to the Alpha News story on Alexander’s appointment to learn that that Alexander currently serves as MSNBC’s law enforcement analyst. MSNBC’s loss is Minneapolis’s gain.
Frey hasn’t gotten around to naming a new police chief since former Chief Medaria Arradondo retired in January. The same question applies — who in his right mind would take the job? Someone will be named to take the job. Perhaps Alexander’s expertise in psychology will come in handy after all. | https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/07/wanted-minneapolis-police-officers.php | 2022-07-11T21:35:51Z | https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/07/wanted-minneapolis-police-officers.php | false | 1 |
Coming off a road victory over Austin, the Wanamingo Jacks extended their three-game win streak up to five games over the weekend following a pair of wins over the Dodge County Diamondbacks and the PEM Bucks.
The Jacks kicked things off Saturday afternoon with the Diamondbacks strolling into town. Thanks to a strong arm in pitcher Sam Roosen, Wanamingo walked away with a 4-0 shutout to start the weekend.
Wanamingo scored one in the bottom of the second, two in the bottom of the third and one in the bottom of the sixth inning to take the 4-0 lead. Owen Hike had one hit and one RBI, Alex Roosen had two hits and Rhett Evans, Eric Swiggum, Aaron Bauer and Jacob Glarner all had one hit each.
Sam Roosen nearly walked away with a no hitter on top of a shutout, but surrendered only on hit after pitching all nine innings, striking out 13 total batters and not allowing a single walk or run.
This marked the Jacks second win over Dodge County after they went on the road to pick up a 15-2 win earlier on in the season.
Nearly 24 hours later, Wanamingo returned to the diamond to host the PEM Bucks, who were looking to avenge the 10-0 shutout the Jacks handed to them back on June 10 in Plainview.
The Bucks had a little more luck than Dodge County getting runners to cross the plate with two runs being scored, but another four-run game for the Jacks was more than enough to secure their fifth straight victory.
Wanamingo goes on the road for the last time on Wednesday when it heads to Pine Island in a rematch against the Pine Island Pioneers before hosting Austin on Saturday and Rochester on Sunday to close out the regular season. | https://www.southernminn.com/faribault_daily_news/sports/jacks-keep-win-streak-going-against-dodge-county-pem/article_f3d74bb4-0153-11ed-8803-83e96647b70d.html | 2022-07-11T21:39:00Z | https://www.southernminn.com/faribault_daily_news/sports/jacks-keep-win-streak-going-against-dodge-county-pem/article_f3d74bb4-0153-11ed-8803-83e96647b70d.html | false | 2 |
- ‘We’re tired of familiar sermons, running out of patience’
- ‘We expected resignations, prosecution over Kuje attack’
Baba Negedu, Kaduna
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has said the prevailing insecurity under President Muhammadu Buhari has become unprecedented in the annals of the country and wants the president to brace up before the country crumbles.
ACF, in a statement in Kaduna on Monday, also said they are tired of the usual sermons by the president after every attack and warned Buhari and his administration that the patience of the people is not limitless.
The statement, signed by Murtala M. Aliyu, ACF Secretary General, noted that as those that are ardent supporters of the president the present realities demand that they tell the president what he needs to hear and not what he wants to hear.
Part of the statement said: “Over the past few months, the security crises we face in Nigeria has been deepening and there is a dangerous escalation of violence and bloodshed. Criminal gangs, heavily armed bandits, armed robbers, secessionist insurgents along with those that call themselves soldiers of so-called Caliphate, have laid siege to Nigeria. More so in the Northern states.
“The highly coordinated attack on the Kuje Prison in the Federal Capital, Abuja, on the 5th of July, 2022, and the mass escape of hardened criminals many of whom are Boko Haram terrorists, have triggered an unprecedented wave of apprehension and panic among the long-suffering people, particularly of the North.
“Coming around the time the advance convoy of Mr. President heading to Daura and long after the deadly attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train on the 28th of March, 2022, in which many people were killed and a lot more kidnapped, the question on the lips of the public, is how and where will these crises, which are unprecedented in severity, leave us?
“We noted that the response of President Muhammadu Buhari to the Kuje Prison tragedy in particular was to offer the familiar cocktail of platitudes, of sermons, condemnations and yet more sermons. As usual, the president asked the security services to ‘investigate’ the outbreak and find out what led to it.
“Presumably, in the view of the President, that was all that he was expected or required to do in the circumstances.
“Although we count ourselves amongst his ardent supporters and have always wished him well, Nigeria’s rapid descent into strife, violence and lawlessness is getting to a point at which we can no longer afford to tell him only what he wants to hear. We do need to tell the president what he also needs to hear.”
The ACF also said: “We simply are unable to find any courteous or less painful words to describe the feeling of utter frustration among the broad masses of Nigeria, especially in the North, arising from the ineffectual management of the security crises by the President. The President in his Sallah message promised to deal with the situation before the end of his tenure.
“However, as long as the crisis remains unabating, Nigerians will justifiably conclude that the government is ineffective and needs to do more if they will ever be able to quell the crises.
“Probably because President Buhari is unable or unwilling to hold his appointees responsible for any deterioration of the security situation and some other socioeconomic sectors under their watch, the vast amount of money and other resources being pumped into the security agencies have largely been ineffective.
“The required boost in manpower and equipment, long recognised as the missing link in the current campaign, have remained largely unimplemented to the required level needed to secure the nation.
“In other countries, the Kuje jail attack and similar ones that have happened in parts of Nigeria would have led to massive reshuffle, resignations and possibly prosecutions of officials that are negligent, incompetent or plainly untrustworthy.
“No person other than the President has both the mandate and responsibility to ensure that the government of Nigeria maintains peace, security, order and good governance.
“We demand that President Buhari braces up without further delay and rises to today’s occasion. The regime needs to reprioritize its programmes and free more resources needed to end the pervasive insecurity that is bringing the country to its knees. We have a duty to tell the president what he needs to hear, which is that the patience of Nigerians is not limitless.” | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/insecurity-in-nigeria-has-become-unprecedented-under-buhari-acf-cries-out/ | 2022-07-11T21:40:22Z | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/insecurity-in-nigeria-has-become-unprecedented-under-buhari-acf-cries-out/ | true | 5 |

Norfolk vet's top tips for looking after your pet during the heatwave
- Credit: Supplied by Helen Boast
A Norfolk vet has shared her top tips for looking after your pet during this week's heatwave.
Here is a list of Ms Boast's top tips:
Brachycephalic breeds in particular are very susceptible to heat stroke, and when the weather is warm it may be best not to exercise them at all.

These dogs will require cooling fans at home to sit in front of, their already narrowed airway cannot cope with the swelling that occurs at the back of the throat when dogs get too hot. Over-heating in these breeds is often fatal.
Invest in some cooling coats, these can be put into cold water and then applied to your dog after exercise or just to keep them cool in the garden, cooling mats are available too.
If your dog loves to swim blow up the paddling pool or take them to a local river or hydrotherapy pool, that way they have some fun as well as keeping cool.
Most importantly, make sure there is always plenty of fresh water available.
Top tips for rabbits
- Make sure their enclosure has shade available
- Regularly top up water, add some ice cubes to keep the water cool
- Have plenty of fresh leaves available to keep them hydrated too, these are best stored in the fridge.
- Spray a fine water mist or dampen your rabbits ears with a wet flannel, this will help to speed up their cooling process
- Consider cooling mats or have marble tiles available to lie on to reduce body temperature
Top tips for cats
- Provide plenty of water in different places, try a water fountain, cup or bowl
- Try freezing a water bottle and wrapping this in a towel, put it in an area your cat likes to rest
- Fans are an excellent way to keep cool, just make sure it doesn’t point directly at your cat
- Brush your cat regularly, matts and excessive hair can impair heat loss mechanisms
- Remember, cats are not like dogs, they should not pant except when in respiratory distress, if your cat starts to pant move them to a cool, quiet area and call the vet immediately | https://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/health/cromer-vet-suggestions-on-heatwave-dog-care-9136352 | 2022-07-11T21:42:36Z | https://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/health/cromer-vet-suggestions-on-heatwave-dog-care-9136352 | true | 1 |
DETROIT — Prosecutors signaled Friday they would pursue the same charges against former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and eight others in the Flint water crisis, just a few days after the state Supreme Court said indictments must be dismissed.
The attorney general’s office responded by asking two Flint-area judges to simply turn the indictments into common criminal complaints and let the charges proceed.
That step, outlined in court filings in Genesee County, likely will face vigorous opposition by defense lawyers.
“The motion filed by the solicitor general is nothing short of ridiculous,” said Chip Chamberlain, attorney for former state health director Nick Lyon.
“The Michigan Supreme Court made itself clear: Mr. Lyon’s case is to be dismissed — period,” Chamberlain said.
Nine people were indicted in 2021, including Snyder, who faced two misdemeanor counts of willful neglect of duty.
In 2014, Flint managers appointed by Snyder took the city out of a regional water system and began using the Flint River to save money while a new pipeline to Lake Huron was being built. But the river water wasn’t treated to reduce its corrosive qualities. Lead broke off from old pipes and contaminated the city’s system for more than a year.
Lyon’s lawyers led the challenge that resulted in a unanimous Supreme Court ruling Tuesday that a judge sitting as a one-person grand jury had no power under Michigan law to return indictments.
The attorney general’s office hasn’t explained why it chose that extremely unusual route rather than a criminal complaint.
Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud insists the Supreme Court’s opinion was only about procedure. She said anyone facing felonies now would be entitled to hearings to challenge evidence.
“The Supreme Court did not question the merit of our cases, nor evaluate the evidence in these proceedings. … These motions confirm our commitment to keep fighting for the people of Flint,” Hammoud said.
Snyder attorney Brian Lennon said the interpretation was flawed.
“How can the Genesee County courts simply convert invalid and illegally obtained indictments into valid complaints?” Lennon said. “What part of the word ‘dismissed’ does she and prosecutor (Kym) Worthy refuse to understand?”
Lyon and former state medical executive Eden Wells were charged with involuntary manslaughter under a theory that they failed to timely notify the public about a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak tied to the Flint River.
Prosecutors still face other hurdles, including the statute of limitations on some charges and the seizure of millions of pages of Snyder administration documents that were confidential.
Snyder, a Republican, left office in 2019. | https://grbj.com/news/government/prosecutors-seek-to-keep-charges-alive-in-flint-water-crisis/ | 2022-07-11T21:43:00Z | https://grbj.com/news/government/prosecutors-seek-to-keep-charges-alive-in-flint-water-crisis/ | false | 33 |

BATTLE GROUND, Wash. (AP) — A former southwestern Washington bank manager is accused of stealing more than $1 million from vulnerable customers.
The Columbian reports Brian Davie, 43, was arrested Friday in Yakima on charges of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office statement.
The Department of Justice said while Davie was a branch manager at a Wells Fargo in Battle Ground, Washington, he made unauthorized cash withdrawals and money transfers and forged cashier’s checks. Investigators said eight victims include one woman who had over $546,000 stolen from her retirement accounts, according to the statement.
Davie worked at the Battle Ground bank from 2014 until he was fired in 2019, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
It wasn’t immediately known if he has a lawyer to comment for him.
He allegedly used his access to customer files to forge signatures on cashier’s checks, withdrawal slips and other bank forms, the criminal complaint states.
Davie's alleged theft went undetected because investigators say he targeted elderly customers who were less likely to check their accounts frequently. Some of the people he allegedly stole from had dementia or limited English skills, according to the DOJ. He's also accused of failing to file the paperwork making one of the victim’s relatives a co-signer on their accounts, which prevented the relative from seeing the victim’s accounts and the fraud.
Wells Fargo reimbursed the victims for their loss, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Ex-bank-manager-accused-of-stealing-1M-from-17297910.php | 2022-07-11T21:49:19Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Ex-bank-manager-accused-of-stealing-1M-from-17297910.php | false | 11 |

ORLANDO, Fla., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX), a leading manufacturer and distributor of automotive and consumer technologies for the global markets, today announced its financial results for its Fiscal 2023 first quarter ended May 31, 2022.
Commenting on the Company's results and business outlook, Pat Lavelle, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "During the Fiscal 2023 first quarter, we continued to experience supply chain issues though the biggest impact was the lack of chips which directly impacted our automotive OEM and aftermarket business. Retailer buying also slowed in March given high inventory positions which impacted sales in our Consumer Electronics segment. While these challenges will persist, we are still poised for growth and expect to have a strong second half of the year based on new Automotive programs, increased production and sales of Onkyo products, along with expanding worldwide distribution, and a host of new products coming to market."
Lavelle continued, "As we look out over the next few years, we are very encouraged with our prospects and our optimism is driven by over $750 million in new OEM awards received over the past three years, with the majority of awards ahead of us. We also see significant expansion in our Premium Audio business as we will soon be securing the chips and parts expected to meet customer demand in the second half of the year and as we expand beyond North America and Australia to service a broader worldwide customer base. We also made significant progress in our Biometrics segment this past quarter, with new opportunities with both distribution partners and companies in the fintech, healthcare and automotive markets. Despite the near-term headwinds, we believe we are well positioned to drive significant growth and strong bottom-line performance in the years ahead."
Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Comparisons
Net sales in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter ended May 31, 2022, were $128.7 million as compared to net sales of $137.1 million in the Fiscal 2022 first quarter ended May 31, 2021, a decrease of $8.3 million or 6.1%.
- Automotive Electronics segment net sales in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter were $39.6 million as compared to $42.7 million in the comparable year-ago period, a decrease of $3.1 million or 7.2%. For the same comparable periods, OEM product sales were $16.7 million as compared to $14.9 million, driven by higher sales of OEM rear-seat entertainment systems, partially offset by ongoing supply chain constraints and component, part and chip shortages. Aftermarket product sales were $22.9 million as compared to $27.7 million, with the decline driven primarily by higher load-ins in the prior Fiscal year period as well as component and part shortages, partially offset by higher aftermarket accessory product sales.
- Consumer Electronics segment net sales in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter were $88.9 million as compared to $94.1 million in the comparable year-ago period, a decrease of $5.2 million or 5.5%. For the same comparable periods, Premium Audio product sales were $69.9 million as compared to $71.6 million, with the decline primarily attributable to lower sales of premium home theatre speaker systems, partially offset by an increase in sales of Onkyo products. Other CE product sales were $19.0 million as compared to $22.5 million with the decline primarily related to general softness in the accessory market following the prior year rebound in sales experienced after the COVID-19 shut-downs in Fiscal 2021. The Consumer Electronics segment was also impacted by lower purchasing by many big box retailers given high inventory levels.
- Biometrics segment net sales in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter were $0.1 million as compared to $0.2 million in the comparable year-ago period. While segment sales declined, new opportunities emerged this quarter and progress has been made on current projects undergoing testing prior to commercialization.
The gross margin in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter was 25.8% as compared to 26.8% in the Fiscal 2022 first quarter, a decline of 100 basis points. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by lower margins in the Automotive Electronics segment, partially offset by higher margins in the Consumer Electronics segment. For the same comparable periods, the Company reported:
- Automotive Electronics segment gross margin of 22.2% as compared to 27.0%, a decrease of 480 basis points. The year-over-year decline was primarily related to the higher cost of materials and shipping, as well as increases in tariffs included in the cost of goods sold. Additionally, certain OEM rear-seat entertainment products that began selling during the second half of Fiscal 2022 have generated lower margins than normal due to rising costs, and as negotiations remain underway to revise pricing.
- Consumer Electronics segment gross margin of 27.4% as compared to 26.6%, an increase of 80 basis points. The primary drivers for the year-over-year increase are higher sales of Onkyo products, as well as the positive impact from price increases that were instituted throughout Fiscal 2022.
- Biometrics segment gross margin of 24.3% as compared to 19.5%, an increase of 480 basis points. The increase in margin was primarily a result of tooling costs incurred during the three months ended May 31, 2021 that did not repeat in the current year.
Total operating expenses in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter were $39.9 million as compared to $37.1 million in the comparable Fiscal 2022 period, an increase of $2.9 million or 7.8%. For the same Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 first quarter periods:
- Selling expenses of $12.3 million increased by $0.8 million, primarily related to higher trade show expenses as the Company attended the Consumer Electronics Show in person in 2022 and the 2021 event was held virtually.
- General and administrative expenses of $19.1 million increased by $0.5 million. The Company incurred higher depreciation and amortization expenses, benefit and insurance expenses, and an increase in fees related to taxes and licensing, partially offset by lower professional fees and salary expenses.
- Engineering and technical support expenses of $8.4 million increased by $2.2 million, primarily due to an increase in engineering labor expenses and research and development expenses related to the Onkyo acquisition, as well as the use of outside labor for certain projects. This increase was partially offset by decreases related to projects in development during the prior year that have been completed, as well as headcount reductions in the Biometrics segment.
- Acquisition costs of $0.1 million declined by $0.5 million. The Company incurred acquisitions costs in both the Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 first quarter associated with consulting and due diligence fees for the asset purchase agreement signed with Onkyo Home Entertainment Corporation and the joint venture created with Sharp Corporation to complete the transaction.
The Company reported an operating loss in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter of $6.7 million as comparted to an operating loss of $0.4 million in the Fiscal 2022 first quarter.
Total other income/expense, net, in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter was a loss of $2.2 million as compared to other income, net of $2.6 million in the Fiscal 2022 first quarter. The year-over-year variance was primarily related to foreign currency as the Company incurred a net foreign currency loss of $2.4 million in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter as compared to a net foreign currency gain of $0.1 million in the Fiscal 2022 first quarter. Additionally, the Company recorded a charge of $1.0 million representing interest expense related to the interim arbitration award accrued during Fiscal 2022. Additionally, equity in income of equity investee declined by $1.1 million and interest and bank charges increased by $0.2 million when comparing the Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 first quarters.
Net loss attributable to VOXX International Corporation in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter was $6.5 million as compared to net income attributable to VOXX International Corporation of $2.7 million in the comparable Fiscal 2022 period. The Company reported basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to VOXX International Corporation of $0.27 in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter as compared to basic and diluted net income per common share attributable to VOXX International Corporation of $0.11, in the comparable Fiscal 2022 period.
The Company reported an Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") loss in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter of $4.2 million as compared to EBITDA in the Fiscal 2022 first quarter of $6.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the Fiscal 2023 first quarter was a loss of $0.1 million as compared to Adjusted EBITDA in the Fiscal 2022 first quarter of $8.2 million.
Seaguard Electronics LLC
On March 3, 2022, the Arbitrator issued a Partial Final Award on Bifurcated Issue in the amount of $39,444, plus $798 for its attorneys' fees and costs. On March 11, 2022, the Arbitrator fixed the schedule of the patent portion of the bifurcated arbitration, with a trial date set for October 16, 2023. The Company has put its suppliers on notice of its indemnification rights with respect to the alleged infringing products. On March 14, 2022, Seaguard filed a Petition in the United States District Court, Central District of California, Western Division, to confirm the Partial Final Award. On April 25, 2022, the Company filed its opposition to Seaguard's Petition to Confirm and a Counter-Petition to Vacate the Partial Final Award. On May 31, 2022, the Court ordered the matter taken under submission for decision without oral hearing.
During Fiscal 2022, the Company recorded an accrual for the interim arbitration award in the amount of $39,444. During the three months ended May 31, 2022, the Company accrued an additional charge of $986 representing interest due on the award when paid. At May 31, 2022, the Company has a total accrued balance of $40,431 on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet related to the interim arbitration award, to be paid if confirmed and not vacated by the U.S. District Court or an appellate court. The Company made its accrual determination in accordance with reports and evaluations from its damages expert, as well as from the guidance and opinion letters received from the Company's trial attorneys.
Balance Sheet Update
As of May 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million as compared to $27.8 million as of February 28, 2022. Total debt as of May 31, 2022 was $16.3 million as compared to $13.2 million as of February 28, 2022. The increase in total debt for the comparable periods is primarily related to $5.6 million outstanding on the Company's Domestic Credit Facility as of May 31, 2022, partially offset by the absence of debt related to the Company's Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation for VOXX Germany. Total long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs as of May 31, 2022 was $14.9 million as compared to $9.8 million as of February 28, 2022.

Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures recognized by GAAP. EBITDA represents net (loss) income attributable to VOXX International Corporation, computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense and bank charges, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, foreign currency losses (gains), acquisition costs, certain non-routine legal and professional fees, and awards. Depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and foreign currency losses (gains) are non-cash items.
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in our Form 10-Q because we consider them to be useful and appropriate supplemental measures of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA helps us to evaluate our performance without the effects of certain GAAP calculations that may not have a direct cash impact on our current operating performance. In addition, the exclusion of certain costs or gains relating to certain events allows for a more meaningful comparison of our results from period-to-period. These non-GAAP measures, as we define them, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be assessed in isolation from, are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

You can’t force voters to do the right thing in elections. Elections, especially primaries, are always a mix if good and bad results. In Orland Park, the extremist Republicans managed to survive thanks to one of the lowest voter turnouts we have seen in a long time. In the 6th District, Orland Park’s extremist rightwing Mayor Keith Pekau will face-off with moderate Centrist Congressman Sean Casten. The extremist Republican’s “victory” in Orland portends the GOP’s collapse. Controversy plagued Sean Morrison faces a strong Democratic challenge in the 17th Cook County District, a seat he barely managed to hold four years ago. Moderate Republicans have been erased and the party is left to the nut jobs. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2660490876376/joliet-city-council-considering-water-rate-increase | 2022-07-11T21:49:40Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2660490876376/joliet-city-council-considering-water-rate-increase | true | null |
Ahead of the July 16 governorship election in Osun, candidates and their parties will, on Wednesday sign a Peace Accord to commit themselves to the smooth conduct of the exercise.
This was revealed by the Chairman of the committee and former Head of State, General Abdusalami Abubakar (rtd),who stated this via a statement issued on Sunday.
According to him, “The NPC hereby wishes to announce that a peace accord will be signed by the various political parties and stakeholders on 13th July 2022, in Osogbo, Osun State,” he said.
Abubakar also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) and all stakeholders to consolidate on the success of the recently held Ekiti State governorship poll.
He equally appealed to the electorate to come out en masse, exercising their civic rights to vote, without fear of violence and with the understanding that the structures for growth are dependent on peace, and also expressed concern over the growing trend of vote-buying.
The National Peace Committee further called on all stakeholders in the traditional institutions, media, and civil society to be alert to their responsibilities as envoys of democratic values which are the means to attaining good governance, resulting in the nation’s collective growth and development.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)–the elections ombudsman, security agencies, and other government agencies that facilitate the conduct of the electoral process should do so with transparency, particularly because the entire nation and the world are watching. All contestants – irrespective of their political platform, should be treated with fairness and equity. We call on INEC and the security agencies to ensure inclusivity, facilitating an electoral exercise where the electorate is not disenfranchised because of gender, religious beliefs, ethnic affiliation, or disability.
”It is important that public trust in the process is continually built and reinforced through free, credible, and transparent elections in the state. We particularly urge that appropriate procedure are implemented to ensure the unhealthy and seemingly pervasive practice of voter inducement, commonly called “vote-buying”. The law in all its capacity and requirements should be applied to those involved in such a criminal act, both the buyer and seller,” Abubakar added. | https://bioreports.net/osun-poll-candidates-sign-peace-accord-wednesday-peace-committee/ | 2022-07-11T21:51:28Z | https://bioreports.net/osun-poll-candidates-sign-peace-accord-wednesday-peace-committee/ | false | 3 |

Paul Hollywood Eats... Mexico: release date and everything we know about the travelogue
Paul Hollywood is heading down Mexico way for his new travelogue Paul Hollywood Eats... Mexico .
Following on from his foodie trip to the Land of the Rising Sun in Paul Hollywood Eats... Japan in 2020, the fascinating new show, airing on Channel 4 in the UK, sees The Great British Bake Off and The Great American Baking Show judge explore Mexico’s culinary and cultural heritage.
Here’s everything we know about Paul Hollywood Eats... Mexico…
Paul Hollywood Eats... Mexico release date
The three-part show airs weekly and begins on Channel 4 on Sunday, July 10 at 9pm. All episodes will be available as a box-set straight afterwards on streaming site All4.
What is Paul Hollywood Eats... Mexico about?
The series, narrated by The Thick of It and The Other One’s Rebecca Front, sees Paul make his first-ever visit to Mexico to uncover the country’s authentic cuisine and explore its traditions. He starts his journey in the capital, Mexico City, before embarking on a road trip across Mexico, taking in the American border and the Caribbean coast.
“I’ve never been to Mexico, but I love Mexican food. I knew there would be chillies, tortillas and tequila,” says Paul. “But real Mexican food is different from anything I’ve had in the UK, where we have the Americanised version known as ‘Tex-Mex’.”
What food does Paul try in Paul Hollywood Eats... Mexico?
In the opening episode, Paul samples tacos at a street cafe that doubles up as a car garage, while he also tries his hand at making a traditional Mexican bread, pan dulce.
“Pan dulce translates as ‘sweet bread’ and it’s an enriched dough halfway between a bun and a brioche and really light," explains Paul. “The patterns formed on them with the cutter are like a work of art and they were delicious. I’m definitely going to make some at home.”
However, some Mexican food is less to his taste as he tries fiery-hot chili-flavored sweets when he encounters some Mexican piñatas. He is also not that fond of the baked insects that he gets the chance to nibble.
“The sweets were shocking. The chili takes your breath away,” reveals Paul. “And insects are the food of the future, with Mexico ahead of the curve, but the stuff there was insane – scorpions, cockroaches, maggots the size of your finger. I didn’t get any flavor from the scorpions, it’s more about texture, and eating a leg of a tarantula was enough for me.”
Paul also gets an adrenaline rush when he tries the Mexican sport of fire hockey, played with a flaming ball, while he gets on his bike to team up with a group of all-female bikers and experience Mexican fast food.
“I went 5000 miles and they took me to McDonald’s! They had molletes – bread with cheese and a jalapeño hot sauce – and I felt the heat rising,” he says. “And we had sushi, which had been fried and was actually chicken, not raw fish! It tasted amazing though, I’ve never had anything like it.”
What else is coming up later in the series?
In episode two, Paul takes to the road and in Baja California, he helps make a cake for a Quinceanera – 15th birthday – party. Meanwhile in Milpa Alta, there’s cactus on the menu and insects to taste in Oaxaca. Then, he’s back on judging duty at a Cornish pasty contest – accompanied by a mariachi band!
Meanwhile, in the finale, Paul indulges in beverages from hot chocolate to a trendy Mexican cola, but he also explores how Mexicans’ love of sugar is resulting in increased obesity. Finally, there’s a trip to a Mezcal distillery, a boozy party in a traditional cantina and a spectacular firework festival.
Is there a trailer for Paul Hollywood Eats... Mexico?
Not yet, but we will add it to this page if one is released.

Oil Dumped By Hedge Funds On Soaring Recession Risk
July 11, 2022 | Tags: ZEROHEDGE
Oil Dumped By Hedge Funds On Soaring Recession RiskBy John Kemp, senior market analyst
Investors dumped petroleum-related derivatives last week at one of the fastest rates of the pandemic era as recession fears intensified.
Hedge funds and other money managers sold the equivalent of 110 million barrels in the six most important petroleum-related futures and options contracts in the week to July 5.
Fund managers have now sold a total of 201 million barrels in the past four weeks, according to position records published by ICE Futures Europe and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The combined position has fallen to only 445 million barrels (in only the 22nd percentile for all weeks since 2013) down from a recent high of 761 million in early January (71st percentile).
Most of the adjustment last week came from the liquidation of previous bullish long positions (-71 million barrels) rather than the creation of new bearish short ones (+39 million).
The hedge fund sector's bullish bias has evaporated, with long positions outnumbering short ones by a ratio of 3.82:1 (44th percentile) down from 6.68:1 as recently as four weeks ago (83rd percentile).
Last week’s sales were led by Brent (-54 million barrels) and NYMEX and ICE WTI (-41 million), but there were also sales in U.S. gasoline (-8 million) and European gas oil (-7 million). Only U.S. diesel was unchanged.
The combined middle distillate position (gasoil and diesel) has fallen for three weeks running by a total of 17 million barrels and is now at its lowest for 18 months.
Distillates are the most sensitive to the business cycle and both the number of positions and the long-short ratio have fallen to levels consistent with an economy entering a period of slower growth. Only the shortage of refinery capacity and low inventories are probably preventing the distillate position from falling even further.
There is no such support, however, for crude oil. The combined position has fallen to only 339 million barrels (13th percentile) with a long-short ratio of 3.77:1 (37th percentile).
Portfolio investors are now positioned for a mid-cycle slowdown or cycle-ending recession that is expected to relieve current oil shortages and rebuild depleted inventories over the next 12 months. | https://freedombunker.com/2022/07/11/oil-dumped-by-hedge-funds-on-soaring-recession-risk/ | 2022-07-11T21:59:34Z | https://freedombunker.com/2022/07/11/oil-dumped-by-hedge-funds-on-soaring-recession-risk/ | true | 2 |
With the season open again for select days in July, consumers can now expect to find fresh, wild-caught salmon locally
SAN FRANCISCO, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After a recent season break, the 2022 commercial California King salmon season is officially back on, and California's commercial fishermen are reporting great catches.
"Now that the season is open again and the fishing area has expanded, consumers will again see fresh, local California King salmon in their favorite markets," said David Goldenberg, Chief Executive Officer of the California Salmon Council. "And if you're a salmon lover, you know there is nothing quite like wild-caught California King salmon. So we encourage everyone to run, not walk, to their local super markets and favorite restaurants and enjoy it while it's in season."
The season is currently open now and following a short break mid-month, will resume again at the end of July.

(The Center Square) – Seattle cracked the top 20 in Lawn Love’s recent list of geekiest cities in America. Washington state’s largest city was ranked No. 15 by the online platform for finding, booking, and paying for a landscaping or lawncare provider.
Lawn Love looked at the 200 largest cities in the U.S., noting which metropolises had the most stores that sell comics, video games, trading cards, and board games.
Other metrics of geekiness considered: the number of meetup groups and costume shops for cosplayers, as well as whether the city has hosted events such as Comic-Con and Renaissance festivals.
“Seattle’s No. 15 ranking is very fitting for the home of the world’s oldest comic book store, Golden Age Collectables,” explained Lawn Love data analyst Jason Medina in an email to The Center Square.
According to the store’s website, “Golden Age Collectables is the oldest comic shop in the world. Founded in 1961, and then purchased by current owner Rod Dyke in 1971, they sell new and vintage comics, manga, collectibles, figurines, Funko toys, board games, movie scripts, vintage Star Wars toys, posters, and so much more.”
Seattle has more going for it in terms of geek appeal than just being home to the world’s oldest comic shop, Medina pointed out.
“They ranked pretty well in each overall category,” he said.
Seattle ranked No. 16 in terms of access to both collectibles and costumes. In terms of geek community, Seattle ranked an impressive No. 8. When it comes to geek-centric events, Seattle ranked No. 33.
“Breaking this down, ‘Number of Comic Book Stores’ at #10, ‘Number of Geek Meetup Groups’ at #8, and ‘Number of Comic-Cons at #13 were what really pushed the Emerald City ahead of 185 other cities,” Medina noted.
Seattle’s geek quotient only looks to improve from here on out.
“The Emerald City Comic Con is one of the [Seattle Convention] Center’s largest annual events,” Medina said. “And in 2023, the city will become even Geekier as the new and expanded Convention Center opens up for even bigger Comic-Cons and Fan Cons.”
Formerly known as the Washington State Convention Center until being renamed the Seattle Convention Center in April, the current $1.9 billion expansion project will more than double the venue’s capacity.
A $100 million loan from King County was proposed in December 2020 to continue work on the project, which had slowed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The state and Seattle also offered to join the loan deal to fill the funding gap.
Avoiding a public bailout, in April 2021 the convention center announced that it had sold $342 million worth of municipal bonds to private institutions, which developers said was sufficient to complete the project.
The expanded Seattle Convention Center is scheduled to open in January 2023.
Seattle wasn’t the only city in Washington to make Lawn Love’s list.
Tacoma was ranked No. 49, Spokane was ranked No. 95, Vancouver was ranked No. 100, and Bellevue was ranked No. 101.

Situated halfway between Iceland and Scotland in the Atlantic Ocean, the Faroes are a self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark made up of 18 islands.
The
yearly whale cull, or grindadr?p in Faroese, is a traditional practice that dates back to the first settlement of the islands by Vikings in 800 CE.
Animal rights organizations have historically condemned the cull, in which whales are killed by gashes to the neck and subsequent cuts to the spinal cord and carotid artery.
However, the Faroese government has previously defended the practice, saying the meat from the hunt provides
“valuable food” for local communities.
Whale hunts take place to provide food and catches are distributed among the participants and local communities, according to the Whales and Whaling in the Faroe Islands
website. Whale meat and blubber are sometimes available for sale on the dockside and at supermarkets.
“The meat from each whale drive provides a large amount of valuable food, which is distributed free in the local communities where the whale drives take place… the meat of the 1,400 dolphins caught on Sunday has likewise been distributed among the participants in the catch and the local community,” Faroese government spokesman P?ll Nols?e told CNN after the hunt last year.
The government’s decision follows last year’s hunt, when a super-pod of 1,428 Atlantic white-sided dolphins were corralled by jet skis and speed boats onto Sk?labotnur beach on the island of Eysturoy and eventually killed, according to marine conservation group Sea Shepherd.
At the time, the group denounced the killing as a “brutal and badly mishandled” massacre, and the largest single hunt in the territory’s history.
In a statement announcing its decision Sunday, the government said of the September 2021 hunt: “It has been acknowledged that aspects of that catch were not satisfactory, in particular the unusually large number of dolphins killed.”
“This made procedures difficult to manage and is unlikely to be a sustainable level of catch on a long-term annual basis,” the government added.
Lukas Erichsen, a representative of Sea Shepherd, described the new quota as “totally meaningless.”
Erichsen, who is part of Sea Shepherd’s whale defense campaign in the Faroe Islands, told CNN in an emailed statement that there appeared to be no penalty for exceeding the quota. “Indeed who would be prosecuted or fined should over 500 be killed in the next two years? No doubt if over 500 were killed in a year then those responsible would claim they did not realize that the pod was so big until it was driven into the shallows and the dolphins killed,” he said.
“This new ‘quota’ is meaningless for dolphins in the long run and has only hastily been announced as a thinly-veiled attempt to deceive both politicians and the press in the face of continued outrage over the killing of dolphins in the Faroe Islands,” Erichsen added.
The government said in its latest statement that it aligns itself with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, a set of 17 commitments that address global challenges, including the climate crisis and the need to preserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources.
“Catches of small whales are an important supplement to the livelihoods of Faroe Islanders, who have for centuries relied on the sustainable use of marine resources for their economy and local food security,” it said.
“The meat and blubber from each whale drive provide valuable food with a low carbon footprint, which is distributed for free in the different communities where the catches take place,” the government added.
There are about 80,000 white-sided dolphins in the seas surrounding the Faroe Islands, according to the government. It added that a yearly cull of just over820 white-sided dolphins would therefore be “well within sustainable limits.”
However, it said it has asked the North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission to provide more up-to-date information on how to sustainably catch white-sided dolphins, after which it will assess the provisional annual limit of 500.
The government also said it would review the method used to kill the dolphins to reduce the length of time it takes for them to die.
After last year’s killing, several whaling supporters condemned the hunt. Among them was Kristian Petersen, who told CNN at the time that “there were so many errors,” including stalking a big flock and prolonging the dolphins’ suffering by having too few people on the beaches to kill them.
CNN’s Jeevan Ravindran, Stephanie Halasz, Allegra Goodwin and Sharon Braithwaite contributed reporting to this story. | https://stluciachronicle.com/faroe-islands-sets-quota-of-500-dolphins-to-be-killed-in-controversial-annual-whale-hunt/ | 2022-07-11T22:04:08Z | https://stluciachronicle.com/faroe-islands-sets-quota-of-500-dolphins-to-be-killed-in-controversial-annual-whale-hunt/ | true | 15 |

Inflation, expenses rise sharply as priorities for Americans, poll finds
WASHINGTON (AP) — Concerns about inflation and personal finances have surged while COVID has evaporated as a top issue for Americans, a new poll shows, marking an upheaval in priorities just months before critical midterm elections.
Forty percent of U.S. adults specifically name inflation in an open-ended question as one of up to five priorities for the government to work on in the next year, according to a June poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That’s a sharp rise from 14% in December and less than 1% the year prior. Seventy-seven percent mention the economy in any way, up from 68% in December.
Now, too, Americans increasingly call their personal finances a major issue : 44% mention it, up from 24% in December and 12% the year before. That includes more mentioning gas or energy prices (33% now vs. 10% in December) and food costs (9% vs. less than 1%).
Target feels inflation’s sting in Q1, shares plungeThose shifts may be advantageous to Republicans as they campaign to win control of Congress in this year’s midterms; the economy has increasingly been a sore subject for President Joe Biden . Still, the economy isn’t the only issue getting more attention this year. Many also prioritize other issues that are core to Biden and Democrats’ agenda, including abortion, women’s rights and gun policy, which could help Democrats as they try to pad — or at least protect — their razor-thin majority.
In a troubling sign for both parties, the poll finds many Americans say they think neither side of the aisle is better at focusing on the issues important to them or getting things done.
Sara Rodriguez said she’s concerned about the impact of rising prices of goods, gas and oil on her household’s finances, especially because her income isn’t keeping up.
“We’ve had a savings built up and we’re noticing that it’s definitely going down fast because we don’t make enough money to cover how much the cost of everything has risen,” the 43-year-old quality control coordinator in Bristol, Connecticut, said.
Rodriguez and her husband and son have had to get to their workplaces and run errands using one car over the last couple of months because of her husband’s broken-down truck.
“We just haven’t had the money to get it back on the road,” she said.
The rise in concerns about the economy is paired with a steep decline in the percentage naming COVID-19 as a top issue, even as new variants continue to emerge: Now just 4% mention it, down from 37% in December 2021 and 53% in December 2020.
Republicans remain more likely than Democrats to mention the economy and inflation or personal finances and gas prices as top issues, but the sharp changes since December are bipartisan.
Daniel Collier, a 39-year-old construction worker in Waynesville, Missouri, thinks lowering gas prices should be a priority.
“It’s hurt me financially,” he said. “I worry about being able to pay the rent, pay utilities.”
He blames Biden for inflation and “poor” economic conditions, saying he thinks the president is “incompetent.”
The poll shows 69% of Americans disapprove of how Biden is handling the economy, including 93% of Republicans and 43% of Democrats. In May, facing an inflation rate at a 40-year high , most Americans said in an AP-NORC poll that they worried about the impact of higher than usual prices on their finances.
For 22-year-old Jakyra Green, rising prices have been prohibitive.
“It’s become very hard to even pay for anything, like rent, gas, and none of our wages are going up,” the college student in Goshen, Indiana, said. “I just spend less or try to not go out the house anymore.”
But Green identified other issues that concern her more. Abortion has long been on her mind as a priority, and it “feels real now” that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. She also identified racism in the U.S. as an important problem.
Mentions of abortion or women’s rights increased sharply to 22% from just 8% in December following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe v. Wade. The poll shows 12% of U.S. adults mention racial issues, similar to December 2021, but a notable decline from 2020, when 24% called out racism as a chief priority.
“I have these two compounding identities being Black and a woman,” Green said, adding that it’s very concerning that Black women experience higher maternal mortality rates than white women. “It’s just so overwhelming right now in America.”
Mentions of gun issues also ticked up to 30% from 24% in December 2021 — both significantly higher compared with 5% in December 2020. The December 2021 poll was conducted just after a deadly shooting at a Michigan high school, which likely explains the sharp increase from 2020.
Charles Hagemeyer sees “so many different issues” facing the country. The economy affects him the most personally, but he called out the mass shooting in Highland Park on July 4 as evidence of a guns problem in the U.S. The poll was conducted before that attack, but after tragedies in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas.
“Gun violence is another big issue that’s on my mind constantly,” the 68-year-old Jacksonville, Florida, resident said. “You’re afraid to go out anymore.”
Hagemeyer thinks the country is past the point where gun control legislation could even be effective; still, he doesn’t see lawmakers coming together to solve any problem. Both sides have an “us versus them” mentality, he said.
The poll shows a majority of Americans — 57% — don’t think one party is better than the other at getting things done. Thirty-seven percent don’t think either is better at focusing on their priorities; the remainder split about evenly between the two parties. Politics is mentioned in some way as a top problem facing the country by 29% of Americans.
“It just doesn’t seem like anybody in government wants to work with each other and try to solve some of the issues that the American people face,” Hagemeyer said.

A Bohemians fan has gone missing in Berlin with his family expressing concern over his well-being.
The club have shared an appeal to its Berlin-based contingent to keep an eye out for Glenn Kelehan who is said to have left the airport on Monday morning in a "confused state".
It is reported that he seemed to be having hallucinations that he was back in Ireland.
His family are currently searching for him in the German capital. He is described as being 5'9", late 40s, and was wearing a green top while carrying a backpack.
He was last seen around the ICC in the west of city, according to the BerlinBohs Instagram page.

While the Jobs and Skills Summit, to be hosted at Parliament House by the Albanese government from September 1, is not directly comparable in scope to Bob Hawke's 1983 National Economic Summit Conference, it is probably no coincidence this event will also be attended by about 100 delegates.
These, as was the case with the Hawke summit, will include captains of industry, representatives from the union movement, business chambers and associations, other levels of government and "civil society" such as the Australian Council of Social Services which played an important role during the conference held at what is now Old Parliament House from April 11 to April 14, 1983.

A significant difference between the two events, for the moment at least, is that there has been no talk of inviting MPs or senators from the opposition benches and the cross benches to participate.
Mr Hawke, who had campaigned on the slogan "Bringing Australia together" had no qualms about reaching across the aisle and, when reporting to Parliament on the event on May 3, 1983, paid tribute to the spirit of bipartisanship that had prevailed.
It is notable that Mr Albanese, a former hard-left firebrand who was far from being Mr Hawke's biggest fan 39 years ago, and his Treasurer are not only borrowing from the great centrist's playbook but also singing from the same song sheets.
Compare the pair. In 1983 Mr Hawke said: "Effective policy cannot be made in a vacuum. The conference made a very substantial contribution to filling that vacuum, to bringing out clearly the economic and social realities which must form the context for government decisions. We are all now better equipped".
On Monday Dr Chalmers said: "It's [the jobs and skills summit] about picking the brains of people around Australia including at the summit to make sure that we all have ideas together ... we owe it to the Australian people to try and find the common ground so that we can reach the common objectives together".
While, on the face of it, the biggest difference between the two events is that Mr Albanese's is firmly focussed on jobs, productivity, wages growth and addressing the skills shortage rather than the economy in its entirety, that is actually a nave over-simplification.
It ignores the fact this gathering has a very broad remit touching on everything from boosting local manufacturing, responding to climate change, investing in renewable energy, creating pathways to employment for the most disadvantaged in the community, bridging the gender pay gap and rebooting the enterprise bargaining process.
There is, as was the case 39 years ago, a real opportunity to leverage a national crisis into major structural reforms that will shape how Australians live and work for decades to come.
For that to occur however, hardline ideologies and partisan interests need to be parked at the door.
It is unfortunate, and potentially damaging, that although the trade unions and business are willing to sit down and break bread together, the newly minted opposition, which is either blind to the opportunities on offer or just being contrary for the sake of it, views the process with disdain.
Sussan Ley's dismissal of the summit as "a Labor talkfest with whiteboards and post-it notes [that] will be a boon for small stationery shops - and that's about it" goes a long way to explaining why the LNP is no longer in government.
It was unhelpful and did her no credit.
Those who are not prepared to help make history often end up getting run over by it.
It's called the karma bus. | https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7815427/jobs-and-skills-summit-offers-a-reset/ | 2022-07-11T22:15:39Z | https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7815427/jobs-and-skills-summit-offers-a-reset/ | true | 1 |
Murray County officials said the resurfacing of about 31.4 miles of county roads should begin in the next four to six weeks.
Sole Commissioner Greg Hogan last week approved a $6.13 million contract with C.W. Matthews of Dalton for the work.
"We have submitted the order to proceed," said County Manager/Financial Officer Tommy Parker. "We expect work to begin within about 30-45 days."
Parker said about $700,000 of the funds will come from the county's annual local maintenance and improvement grant from the Georgia Department of Transportation, and the remainder will come from the county's Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) and Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST).
The contract calls for paving all or parts of Bishop Pond Road, Blankenship Road, Brindle Road, CCC Camp Road, Cleveland Street, Couch Road, Davenport Road, Fox Bridge Road, Henry Gallman Road, Jackson Lake Road, Keller Drive, Little Creek Lane, Maple Grove Church Road, Mount Zion Church Road, Old Federal Road North, Old Free Hope Road, Pine Street West, Smoky Ford Road, Tibbs Bridge Road, Treadwell Road, Vann Street, Victory Drive Road and Wildwood Drive. | https://www.dailycitizen.news/news/local_news/murray-county-paving-approved/article_86a485f0-0141-11ed-aa69-879fe8c97f19.html | 2022-07-11T22:16:58Z | https://www.dailycitizen.news/news/local_news/murray-county-paving-approved/article_86a485f0-0141-11ed-aa69-879fe8c97f19.html | true | 1 |

Fifth-year senior guard Madisen Smith of the Mountaineer women’s basketball team has been selected to represent West Virginia University and the Big 12 Conference at the first-ever Student-Athlete Summit at the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Summer League. The event will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from July 12-15.
“I’m just eager to learn everything I can from all the executives, coaches, the NBA and the WNBA, and from other colleges around the country,” Smith said. “I just want to soak in all the information I can and ask as many questions as possible. I also want to live in the moment and just have a great experience.”
Smith is one of 15 student-athletes across all major college conferences that will be represented at the inaugural event, which is a branch of the NBA’s SALA platform – an events and media company that brings together a diverse group of accomplished leaders from across a wide range of industries. The Greenville, South Carolina, native joins Baylor forward Caitlin Bickle and Texas Tech guard Lexy Hightower as representatives from the Big 12.
Over the course of the four-day conference, Smith and the group of student-athletes will participate in panel discussions, networking sessions, tours and much more. Several professional organizations are expected to contribute to the summit, including the San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat and the UFC. Moreover, the summit will include guest speakers such as ESPN on-air talent Monica McNutt, UFC chief operating officer Lawrence Epstein and NBA deputy commissioner and chief operating officer Mark Tatum.
Smith, who graduated with her bachelor’s degree in sport management in December 2021, is currently pursuing a master’s degree in sport coaching and hopes this conference will equip her with the skills to mold and teach a new generation of basketball players in the future. Moreover, the fifth-year guard is itching to learn how to mold herself professionally this week, so that she may impart that same wisdom to her teammates and others in the future.
“They’ve helped us build our resumes up and get on LinkedIn, so we can really get our profiles out to show who we are as people – not just as athletes,” Smith added. “That’s great, because people don’t usually get to see the other side of us. It’s great that we have the opportunity to go and look professional, and they’ll see that side of us.”
SALA is a community of leaders from a variety of backgrounds who share a common motivation to engage around important societal and business matters and help drive positive change.
In addition to the numerous new business relationships and friendships fostered through the platform, connections are facilitated between members and leading nonprofits that are making a sustainable impact in society.
To date, SALA has hosted over 350 events (300-plus online since March 2020) and the community continues to grow (1,250-plus overall).
“I’m definitely honored,” Smith concluded. “I’m grateful that I was able to be nominated and that I was chosen as one of these few student-athletes. This a great networking opportunity, and since I want to get into coaching, this also is a great jump-start for my future career.”

Anti-Biden Backlash Gets Brutal: Dems Polled About 2024 Have an Ugly Answer for the President
You know it’s bad when even Democrats can’t deny it anymore.
President Joe Biden has spent 18 months in office destroying the economy and diminishing the country’s standing on the world stage, while his establishment media cheerleaders pretended prosperity was just around the corner.
But with four months remaining before the reckoning of the 2022 midterms, the pretense is getting so thin a New York Times poll can’t cover up anymore — and the anti-Biden backlash is brutal.
According to results reported Monday by the Times — the unofficial newsletter of the Democratic Party — almost two-thirds of Democrats don’t want Biden back as the party’s nominee in 2024, with only 13 percent saying Biden’s tenure in office has put the country on the right track. (On the other hand, 100 percent of sane Americans want him gone.)
President Biden is hemorrhaging support, with only 26% of Democratic voters saying the party should renominate him in 2024, a New York Times/Siena College poll found. Voters nationwide gave him a meager 33% job approval rating.https://t.co/OMwNkcclrr
— The New York Times (@nytimes) July 11, 2022
Meanwhile, Democratic hopes that the Supreme Court’s landmark decision to overturn the barbarous Roe v. Wade decision and the “right” to an abortion it created would somehow galvanize the party’s voters appear to be falling flat, with only 5 percent of voters surveyed calling it the “top issue” of the midterms, the Times reported.
Or, to paraphrase James Carville, the Democratic strategist who masterminded former President Bill Clinton’s rise to the White House in 1992: It’s still the economy, stupid.
And on the economy, Biden has been a disaster. Inflation is at a four-decade high, gas prices have been so high for so long it’s hard to remember that when former President Donald Trump left office the average price for a gallon of gas was $2.38 according to a AAA news release from Jan. 19, 2021. That’s about half the price of the national average AAA reported Monday.
And as the Times poll found, almost 90 percent of those surveyed considered the economy “poor” or “fair” (58 percent said “poor”; 29 percent said “fair.”) One percent, on the other hand, said the economy is “excellent” (which means the percentage of wealthy day drinkers surveyed was about 1 percent).
According to the poll’s methodology, the survey was conducted July 5-7 using landlines and cell phones to reach 849 voters.
The margin of error was reported at 4.1 percent, but it would take a margin of error in the double digits to make the results look like anything other than a disaster for the Democratic Party — one that’s been more than a year in the making.
Combined, the economy and inflation were the top issues for 35 percent of the respondents, dwarfing the amorphous “state of Democracy/Political Division” category (11 percent) and the mainstream media-driven “Gun policies” topic (10 percent).
But the real issue was Biden, and the ugly, unavoidable reality is that the Democratic Party’s titular leader has effectively received a vote of no confidence from his base that was publicized by his supporters’ most influential media outlet.
For any incumbent president to be looking at a level of dissatisfaction like that from his own party would mean a virtual certainty that one term would be the limit. For an incumbent president who is already 79 years old and whose best days physically and mentally are long behind him — to put it charitably — those numbers mean he might as well accept the reality now that the country won’t put up with eight years of deliberate destruction.
From declaring war on the nation’s energy industry on his first day of office to opening the country’s borders to an effective invasion of illegal immigration to abdicating his own responsibility and his nation’s honor with the cowardly, bungled departure from Afghanistan almost a year ago, Biden has been an insult to the office of the presidency and to the American people.
The fact that the largest, most important economy in the world is headed for recession thanks to Biden’s subservience to socialist elements and environmental radicals in the party he’s supposed to be leading is getting so obvious that even an establishment media determined to protect him can’t do it anymore.
With the November midterms looming, if every Republican and conservative American do their duty and turns out at the polls, the country should see a repudiation of Democratic policies so thorough that even the doddering, almost certainly corrupt Biden won’t be able to argue it.
And after that, the 2024 presidential campaign season begins.
From the Florida vote count fight in 2000 to Donald Trump’s stunning upset win in 2016 to the crooked chaos of 2020, American politics in the 21st century have been notoriously unpredictable. But if there’s one safe bet to be made, it’s that Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee in two years.
He’s been a disgrace. And even Democrats can’t deny it.

Stranger Things: 6 Major Questions We Have About Season 5
By Philip Sledge published
So, when are we going back to Hawkins?
There are already quite a few things we know about Stranger Things Season 5, like the fact that it will be the popular Netflix series’ final installment and that it will see all those beloved characters back in Hawkins together, and so forth. However, there are several lingering questions we still have about the Duffer Brothers’ long-running sci-fi show following the conclusion of the epic two-part fourth season.
We have already tackled some of the more plot-centric unknowns about Stranger Things Season 5 in another article, so today we’ll instead focus on more of the logistical questions concerning the show’s eventual return. Below, we will ponder questions like “when might Stranger Things return,” “will there be any new cast members,” and multiple others while also providing some information that could possibly help us solve the mysteries that remain.
I know we’ve only just returned from Hawkins, but let’s go back to that doomed Midwestern town at least one more time…
When Will Stranger Things Season 5 Start Production?
After concluding the massive two-part Stranger Things Season 4, no one is going to blame Matt and Ross Duffer for taking a little break before getting the ball rolling on the show’s fifth and final season. When speaking with Collider in July 2022, Ross Duffer revealed that they were going to take a “little vacation” in July before getting back into the writer’s room in August. However, the show’s co-creator didn’t elaborate on how long it will take for them and the other scribes to flesh out the story and all its finer details.
Ideally, the Duffers would be able to spend the second half of 2022 finishing the scripts and then start up production on Stranger Things Season 5 at some point in early 2023. Again, this is just speculation, but it doesn’t sound like the Duffers or Netflix are wanting to waste any time before things pick back up again.
When Might Stranger Things Season 5 Premiere?
Another major question — perhaps one of the most pressing — we have about Stranger Things Season 5 is the one surrounding its release date. We won't see the show on the 2022 TV schedule, but no one from Netflix or the production team has given a definitive answer about the return at this point in time. However, one of the main members of the Stranger Things cast thinks to show might come back as early as 2024.
When speaking with GQ following the Stranger Things Season 4 finale, David Harbour speculated on the premiere of the fifth and final season, saying new episodes could come out mid-2024 based on the series’ “track record.” This could very well be the case, considering that every season except for Season 2 had new episodes premiere in the summer months.
How Many Episodes Will There Be?
The Duffer Brothers have already alluded to the fact that Stranger Things Season 5 won’t be as long as the penultimate season in terms of the total length of the installments, but the question still remains as to how many episodes will make up the show’s final stretch. During a July 2022 interview with Collider, Matt Duffer revealed that the goal is to have the final season be around 10 hours long, which would have it around three hours shorter than Season 4.
However, Duffer didn’t provide insight on the episode count. That being said, the first and third seasons of Stranger Things were eight episodes each with Seasons 2 and 4 coming in at nine episodes apiece. If that trend is to continue then we could expect to see another eight-episode season. That may very well change as the Duffer Brothers start writing the Stranger Things send-off and make decisions that lengthen its story.
Will There Be Any New Cast Members?
Although the primary group of Stranger Things characters has largely remained the same throughout the show’s first four seasons, each year at least a few new characters have been introduced and joined the ranks of Eleven, Dustin, Mike, Will, Lucas, and the rest of the gang. Season 2 saw the arrival of Sadie Sink’s Max, Season 3 gave us Maya Hawke’s Robin, and Season 4 saw the debut of characters like Joseph Quinn’s Eddie Munson and Eduardo Franco’s Argyle, to name only a few. But it remains to be seen if the Duffer Brothers have any new cast members waiting to be introduced in the show’s final season.
Going off the show’s track record, you would think there would be at least one new hero and maybe an additional secondary villain to give the core group a thrill while they prepare to take on Vecna for the last time. However, with the show in its endgame, there might not be room for too many new faces in Hawkins. We’ll just have to wait and see…
Could Anyone From Previous Stranger Things Seasons Return?
The Duffer Brothers have already stated that Stranger Things Season 5 will be set in Hawkins, unlike the previous season, which saw characters split up in places like Russia and California. During the co-creators’ appearance on the Happy Sad Confused (opens in new tab) podcast, Matt Duffer said the final season will feature a lot of the original groupings and pairings from the show’s debut back in 2016.
Does this mean we’ll also see some of the other characters from previous seasons come back into the fold before the finale episode airs? The show has brought back several characters over the years with Matthew Modine’s Dr. Martin Brenner and Paul Reiser’s Dr. Sam Owens having a great deal of screentime in Season 4. And the show could very well bring back previously killed-off characters in flashbacks or hallucinations brought on by Vecna, similar to what happened in the most recent season.
Will Season 5 Be Split Into Volumes?
The Duffer Brothers and Netflix broke from tradition when they released Stranger Things Season 4 as two volumes — the first seven episodes debuted in May 2022, the final two premiered in July 2022 — which ended up working out quite well for the show and fans who didn’t have the time to watch the 13-hour story in one sitting. It remains to be seen if Season 5 will follow a similar route or go back to the model from the first three seasons that saw all the episodes drop at once.
Honestly, it wouldn’t be the worst idea to have Stranger Things Season 5 split into two parts, especially if the, hopefully comforting, series finale is two-and-a-half hours. This way, fans could have time to get caught up or allow the major moments of the early episodes to digest before jumping into the final showdown.
Even though there are a lot of unanswered questions about Stranger Things Season 5 on a logistical level, there is still plenty to look forward to from the final season of the popular Netflix show. One thing that is known, though, is the fact that you will need a Netflix subscription to see the show in action when it makes its eventual return.

Andy McEntee: Antrim appoint former Meath boss as new manager on three-year term
Last updated on .From the section Gaelic Games
Andy McEntee has been appointed as the new Antrim senior football manager on a three-year term.
The former Meath boss will take over from Tyrone great Enda McGinley, who stepped down after Antrim's Tailteann Cup exit in May.
McEntee opted against seeking a third term with Meath after their All-Ireland qualifier defeat by Clare in June.
His appointment was approved at a county board meeting and was ratified by clubs on Monday evening.
"Antrim County Board are delighted to announce that Andy McEntee has been ratified as the new Antrim senior football manager on a three-year term," an Antrim GAA statement said.
"Andy brings a wealth of management experience at the top tier of both club and county football.
"We look forward to working with Andy and his backroom team in the seasons ahead."
Prior to his stint with Meath, McEntee led Dublin club Ballyboden St Enda's to an All-Ireland Club Football title in 2016.
He took over as Meath manager later that year and led his native county to successive Leinster finals in 2018 and 2019.
Under him, Meath also sealed promotion to Division One in 2019 but they were relegated back to the second tier without winning a game the following season.
McEntee, whose son Shane is Meath captain, will be tasked with leading the Saffrons to Division Two with McGinley having earned promotion from Division Four in 2021.
McEntee's arrival in Antrim will come as a surprise to some after his recent appearance on The GAA Social podcast, in which he admitted that "social media attention" is making inter-county management "less and less attractive".
Following McEntee's resignation from the Royals, Meath GAA outlined its "disgust at the personal abuse" aimed at its members on social media. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/gaelic-games/62121032?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | 2022-07-11T22:28:23Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/gaelic-games/62121032?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | true | 3 |
Active COVID cases in Missoula County are holding steady and are still comparable to levels during the Omicron surge this past winter.
On Monday, the County Health Department reported 17 new cases, bringing the county to 550 active reports.
This current surge taking hold of the country is driven by two subvariant mutations of Omicron referred to as BA.4 and BA.5. Symptoms of either variant are not much different from earlier versions of Omicron, however those who have been infected are less likely to lose their sense of taste and smell.
Missoula County’s seven-day positivity rate increased from 18.15% last Tuesday to 24.03% on Monday.
There are currently 15 people hospitalized for COVID-related infection in Missoula County as of Monday, four of which are not county residents.
One new death was reported from last week. There have been a total 212 deaths due to COVID-related illness among county residents.
People are also reading…
Residents between the ages of 30-39 make up 19.6% of active cases in the county at this time — more than any other age group. Those between the ages of 20-29 account for 14.7% of active cases in the county.
Missoula County is still considered high-risk by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Missoula City-County Health Department is encouraging widespread mask use by all individuals while indoors regardless of vaccination status.
All individuals over the age of 6 months are eligible for COVID vaccines at this time.
Those who test positive with an at-home COVID test are also encouraged to report to the state health department.
Additionally, treatment options are available for those who test positive for COVID. However, time is of the essence as most of the available drugs must be taken within five days of the onset of symptoms to be effective.

Million-strong army of Ukrainians takes on Vladimir Putin's troops in hope of regaining ground as Kyiv mobilises huge force and calls for more arms
- The NATO-supplied army is looking to take the fight to Russia in eastern Ukraine
- Ukraine's defence minister and prime minister both made the claim
- Defence minister Oleksii Reznikov, 56, said armed forces are 700,000-strong
- More drones, rocket systems and missiles will likely be crucial for its army
Ukraine has claimed it is raising ‘a million strong’ fighting force to regain territory lost to Russia.
A counter-offensive using Nato-supplied weapons would take the fight to Moscow’s troops in the south and east of the country, said defence minister Oleksii Reznikov.
The message was repeated by Ukraine’s deputy prime minister, who advised women and children to leave the occupied territories as a ‘major fight’ is looming.
The rise in the rhetoric from Kyiv came as it emerged that 12 Russian officers were killed when US-supplied missiles hit their command post near Kherson in southern Ukraine.

Experts cast doubt on Ukraine’s ability to launch a successful counter-attack with current resources, but the defence minister suggested it will happen soon.
Mr Reznikov said yesterday: ‘This is very necessary for our country. The president has given the order.
‘We need, more quickly, to save the lives of our soldiers. Each day we are waiting for howitzers [from allies] we can lose 100 soldiers.
‘We have approximately 700,000 in the armed forces and when you add the national guard, police and border guards, we are around a million strong.’
Most of these forces are already involved in Ukraine’s bid to defend its small remaining territory in the eastern Donbas region, so could not be used in any counter-offensive there and elsewhere.
The country’s international allies and Nato military advisers have recommended that it bides its time and builds up its arsenal of Western-donated weapons.
But expectations of a Ukrainian recovery were heightened further when deputy prime minister Iryna Vereshchuk urged citizens to evacuate ahead of offensives by the country’s troops.
She said: ‘There should not be women and children there and they should not become human shields. There will be a massive fight. Our forces are coming to de-occupy.’
Amassing more rocket systems, drones and missiles will be crucial.
In recent days long-range rockets have proved highly effective, destroying multiple enemy ammunition stores and command and control centres.
The most recent attack using US-supplied rockets left 12 Russian officers dead, including at least one general and one colonel.
Even Russian state TV news broadcasts were forced to acknowledge the recent successes, with one saying Ukraine had ‘struck several times at our decision-making centres with results’.
The US-donated High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) can hit targets up to 50 miles away.
The latest strike using HIMARS was at Chornobaivka airport near the Russian-occupied southern city of Kherson.
Before the HIMARS arrived, the air base was out of range for Ukrainian forces.
Plans for the counter-attack emerged as the number of Ukrainians entering European Union countries was reported to have passed six million – although three million have returned home. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11003691/Million-strong-army-Ukrainians-takes-Vladimir-Putins-troops-hope-regaining-ground.html | 2022-07-11T22:31:58Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11003691/Million-strong-army-Ukrainians-takes-Vladimir-Putins-troops-hope-regaining-ground.html | false | 3 |

Angry Georgia mom claims airline 'lost my child' in viral TikTok video
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - It is every parent’s worst nightmare — getting a phone call that your child has gone missing.
But that is exactly what Georgia mom Monica Gilliam, 39, says she experienced after she dropped off her 12-year-old daughter at an American Airlines gate inside Chattanooga Airport about a week ago.
Her daughter was flying solo down to Miami from the Chattanooga airport in Tennessee for a three-week visit with her father, Gilliam told Fox News Digital in a phone interview.
Gilliam said she paid $150 extra, in addition to the ticket price, to make sure her daughter would be escorted directly to her waiting father once the plane landed, under the airline's "unaccompanied minors" program.
Gilliam, a professional photographer and mom of four from Chickamauga, Ga., posted a TikTok video last Saturday sharing what happened next: "Almost an hour after her flight landed, I got a call from American Airlines. It was the manager in Miami — the American Airlines manager — and he says, ‘Your child is missing. We’ve shut down the terminal. We don’t know where she is.'"
Gilliam’s TikTok video (shown above) quickly went viral; as of publication time, it had amassed some 1.8 million views.
Gilliam said the trip began smoothly enough. Her daughter was scheduled to depart on a 6 a.m. flight, so mom and daughter arrived early at the airport to check the girl in with the airline as an unaccompanied minor.
"They give you a lanyard for your child to wear [around her neck] and it's got all of the child’s information inside it — their boarding pass, which lets everybody know that they're not traveling with an adult," Gilliam said.
Her daughter had breakfast at the airport; then a flight attendant took the girl to the aircraft and "got her boarded first, which is what they're supposed to do with an unaccompanied minor," said Gilliam.
"I stayed until the plane took off," said Gilliam, "and then I left, not thinking that anything was going to go wrong."
Two hours later, Gilliam said she received a call from her ex-husband, who said, "You're not going to believe what happened."
Her phone then rang again — and it was not good news, according to Gilliam.
It was an American Airlines manager, telling her that her child was missing.
Gilliam said she was incredulous. "How do you lose an unaccompanied minor?" she relayed to Fox News Digital about the conversation. "How did you lose my child?"
Fox News Digital reached out by both phone and email to American Airlines and received an emailed response from the corporate communications office. | https://www.foxla.com/news/angry-georgia-mom-airline-child-tiktok | 2022-07-11T22:35:23Z | https://www.foxla.com/news/angry-georgia-mom-airline-child-tiktok | false | 12 |
Tottenham's pre-season tour of South Korea is brought to you in association with Nord VPN, sponsors of football.london's coverage.
Eric Dier has declared his intention to fight for his place in England's World Cup squad by showing what he can do for Tottenham Hotspur following what he sees as a "great" summer at the club.
The 28-year-old has not been able to add to his international 45 caps for almost two years, having been called up in 2021 for three matches but not used by Gareth Southgate. Dier has become a lynchpin of Antonio Conte's back three but still cannot find a place in Southgate's plans.
While in South Korea on Tottenham's pre-season tour ahead of the coming Premier League season, Dier admitted that he's desperate to earn his place back in the England squad before the winter World Cup in Qatar.

"That’s a clear objective of mine. I would never shy away from that. I want to be there. It's just up to me playing the best I can. Take everything from last season and kick on," he said. "That’s all I can focus on, give myself every opportunity and have no regrets in the way I do everything leading up to the next England squad and the World Cup and see what happens. There’s nothing quite like a World Cup. It was an incredible time and I’d love to be a part of another one."
Dier was one of England's heroes at the World Cup in Russia in 2018, scoring the penalty shoot-out winner against Colombia that ended the country's spot kick woes. The defender simply calls it a "great memory" and the key to his return will be what he does with Tottenham. Dier is enjoying his role in the centre of Conte's back three, a system England also use.
"I’m learning a system under him here and I think it’s his system, he’s the best at it,” said Dier. “There are so many things I can improve on and get better under him. There’s a lot more to come from that system and the manager."
Dier has been impressed by a summer that has brought five new signings to Tottenham in Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster as well as Clement Lenglet on loan just before the tour.
"I’m so happy on an individual, and I think I can speak on a collective level as well, everyone is really happy with how the summer has gone. The manager here and looking to continue to build," he said. "We all have a reason to be excited for what’s to come. The club have had a great summer, they’ve made a lot of signings and really exciting signings, in my opinion."
Dier was speaking at a Tottenham Hotspur Global football development session with young adults from ChildFund Korea, one of the most influential charities in South Korea which aims to support children from low-income families to help develop their talents.

Paul Ryan has kept a relatively low profile since quitting Congress in 2019 to join the board of directors of Fox Corporation, where he reportedly earns an annual salary of almost $350,000.
But in journalist Mark Leibovich’s new book Thank You for Your Servitude, the former Speaker of the House is trying to rebrand himself from the Donald Trump sycophant/slimeball/opportunist we all know him as into a proud American patriot who watched in horror as the MAGA militia stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
I'll be voting for @realDonaldTrump this fall. I'm confident he will help turn the House GOP's agenda into laws. https://t.co/LyaT16khJw
— Paul Ryan (@PRyan) June 2, 2016
Ryan, who endorsed Trump in both 2016 and 2020, told Leibovich he’s not much of a crier, but “something snapped” in him as he watched the violent insurrection on TV and he “found himself sobbing” at the deadly chaos unfolding on his old stomping ground.
“I spent my whole adult life in that building,” the ex-congressman said. “And I saw my friends, a lot of cops, some of my old security detail—I’m still friends with a bunch of those guys. It really disturbed me, foundationally.”
“Ryan figured the president would bitch and moan and maybe make a big show of ‘fighting’ for his supporters for a while,” Leibovich writes. “Everyone could feel good and victimized. But eventually Trump would just leave; hopefully, he would know to do this on his own. And everyone could then just get on with their lives.”
But if Ryan thought his interview with Leibovich would repair the damage done to his reputation by all those years he spent enabling and defending Trump, he can think again. Literally nobody is buying it.
Here’s what folx are saying…
Let’s be abundantly clear about this: if Paul Ryan were so affected by the Jan. 6th attack—crying, he claims, no less—he’d be doing everything he can to hold accountable those behind it.
But he’s not. Because Paul Ryan has only ever cared about Paul Ryan. Stop listening to him.

So, I just read that Paul Ryan "sobbed" in front of the TV on J6.
Really? Does anyone think tfg worked in a vacuum? Everything that happened, happened because nimrod traitors like Paul Ryan enabled him.
He sobbed? Whatever. He's complicit.

Paul Ryan can fuck all the way off.
It’s because of greedy pathetic bootlicking cowards like him that Donald Trump got elected in the first place.
He knew Trump was an unqualified fascist moron, but he kept his mouth shut and toed the line to get his judges & tax cuts.

LONDON (AP) — Four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah has disclosed he was brought into Britain illegally from Djibouti under the name of another child.
“The truth is I’m not who you think I am," the 39-year-old Farah told the BBC in a documentary called “The Real Mo Farah.”
Farah, who became the first British track and field athlete to win four Olympic golds, said his children have motivated him to be truthful about his past.
“The real story is I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin," he told the BBC. "Despite what I’ve said in the past, my parents never lived in the U.K.
"When I was four my dad was killed in the civil war, you know as a family we were torn apart. I was separated from my mother, and I was brought into the U.K. illegally under the name of another child called Mohamed Farah.”
During the documentary, Farah said he thought he was going to Europe to live with relatives and recalled going through a British passport check under the guise of Mohamed at the age of nine after traveling with a woman he didn't previously know.
“I had all the contact details for my relative and once we got to her house, the lady took it off me and right in front of me ripped them up and put it in the bin and at that moment I knew I was in trouble," he said.
The athlete travelled back to his childhood home in west London, recalling “not great memories” where he was not treated as part of the family.
Farah eventually told teacher Alan Watkinson the truth and moved to live with his friend’s mum who took care of him and he ended up staying for seven years.
It was Watkinson who applied for Farah’s British citizenship which he described as a “long process." Farah was recognized as a British citizen in 2000.

The quickly changing coronavirus has spawned yet another super contagious Omicron mutant that's worrying scientists as it gains ground in India and pops up in numerous other countries, including the United States.
Scientists say the variant – called BA.2.75 – may be able to spread rapidly and get around immunity from vaccines and previous infections. It's unclear whether it could cause more serious disease than other omicron variants, including the globally prominent BA.5.
"It's still really early on for us to draw too many conclusions," said Matthew Binnicker, director of clinical virology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. "But it does look like, especially in India, the rates of transmission are showing kind of that exponential increase." Whether it will outcompete BA.5, he said, is yet to be determined.
Still, the fact that it has already been detected in many parts of the world even with lower levels of viral surveillance "is an early indication it is spreading", said Shishi Luo, head of infectious diseases for Helix, a company that supplies viral sequencing information to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Advertise with NZME.The latest mutant has been spotted in several distant states in India, and appears to be spreading faster than other variants there, said Lipi Thukral, a scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology in New Delhi. It's also been detected in about 10 other countries, including Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada. Two cases were recently identified on the West Coast of the US, and Helix identified a third US case last week.
Fueling experts' concerns are a large number of mutations separating this new variant from Omicron predecessors. Some of those mutations are in areas that relate to the spike protein and could allow the virus to bind onto cells more efficiently, Binnicker said.
Another concern is that the genetic tweaks may make it easier for the virus to skirt past antibodies - protective proteins made by the body in response to a vaccine or infection from an earlier variant.
But experts say vaccines and boosters are still the best defence against severe Covid-19. In the next few months it's likely the US will see updated formulations of the vaccine being developed that target more recent Omicron strains.
"Some may say, 'Well, vaccination and boosting hasn't prevented people from getting infected.' And, yes, that is true," he said. "But what we have seen is that the rates of people ending up in the hospital and dying have significantly decreased. As more people have been vaccinated, boosted or naturally infected, we are starting to see the background levels of immunity worldwide creep up."
It may take several weeks to get a sense of whether the latest Omicron mutant may affect the trajectory of the pandemic. Meanwhile, Dr Gagandeep Kang, who studies viruses at India's Christian Medical College in Vellore, said the growing concern over the variant underlines the need for more sustained efforts to track and trace viruses that combine genetic efforts with real-world information about who is getting sick and how badly. "It is important that surveillance isn't a start-stop strategy," she said.
Luo said BA.2.75 is another reminder that the coronavirus is continually evolving – and spreading.
"We would like to return to pre-pandemic life, but we still need to be careful," she said. "We need to accept that we're now living with a higher level of risk than we used to."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The 911 calls serve as a reminder of what could have happened the day a 17-year-old fired his loaded gun at a West Liberty-Salem High School.
On Jan. 20, 2017, Logan Cole said he stopped in the bathroom to check his hair while on the way to a mock trial competition at the Champaign County school.
“I go and walk in, and the shooter is standing right there,” Cole said. ”I don’t even have time to process — it’s just instant.”
Cole saw fellow classmate Ely Serna standing before him armed with a gun. Serna fired several shots at Cole — first in the chest and again in the back — knocking Cole to his face and leaving him critically injured with two broken teeth, he said.
Greg Johnson, principal of West Liberty-Salem High School at the time of the shooting, said he remembers the smell of gunshots lingering in the hallway and a voice in the bathroom, which turned out to be Cole’s, attempting to convince the shooter to put down his weapon.
“‘You haven’t killed anybody, you don’t need to hurt anybody else, just please go get help,'” Johnson recalled overhearing.
Cole’s desperate pleas, he said, were successful. Serna apologized and slid the gun under the bathroom stall — ending the possibility of future fatalities at the high school.
While the shooting left Cole with constant back pain and 200 lead pellets discarded in his body from the shotgun blasts, he said his interaction with Serna in the bathroom could have saved dozens of lives.
“I interrupted his plans,” Cole said. “If I’d walked in five minutes later, he would have walked out and shot people in the hallway.”
More than five years later, Cole — whose voice Principal Johnson overheard in the bathroom — is now engaged to Johnson’s daughter, Addy. It’s all part of the plan, Cole said, that’s been set for him.
“God gave me Addy, and God gave Addy me, and I get to spend the rest of my life enjoying and loving,” Cole said.
Classmates at West Liberty-Salem High School, Cole, who works at his family’s business in Urbana, went to Cedarville University, and his bride-to-be, who’s currently preparing for grad school, attended The Ohio State University.
Johnson said he “couldn’t be happier” for his daughter and soon-to-be son-in-law Cole.
“I think both sets of parents knew it all along these two would make a really good couple, it took them a little longer to figure it out,” Johnson said.
Cole said his nightmares from the 2017 shooting have faded, and he even forgave Serna at his sentencing hearing. The plan, he said, remains in tact.
“I’m thankful it was me that walked in,” he said. “It’s just all a miracle and I don’t take credit for that.” | https://www.nbc4i.com/tell-me-more/teen-who-survived-west-liberty-salem-high-school-shooting-engaged-to-principals-daughter/ | 2022-07-11T22:47:07Z | https://www.nbc4i.com/tell-me-more/teen-who-survived-west-liberty-salem-high-school-shooting-engaged-to-principals-daughter/ | false | 1 |

NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — An insurance company that covers counties and other public entities in Idaho says it won't renew Canyon County's insurance policy because increasing risks and a high volume of claims.
The Idaho Counties Risk Management Program, known as ICRMP, sent a letter to Canyon County officials on May 23, citing “numerous factors including adverse claim development and increasing risk exposures,” the Idaho Press reported. The Nampa-based newspaper obtained the document through public records requests.
Canyon County Public Information Officer Joe Decker said the county’s elected officials couldn't immediately comment because the situation is onging.
“We are working to evaluate all options, including potential renewal with ICRMP and the potential acquisition of replacement coverage,” Decker wrote in an email. “More information will be forthcoming when available.”
Canyon County Commissioners responded to ICRMP in a June 2 letter that suggested the county might appeal the non-renewal notice. They took issue with the non-renewal decision, saying, “the abruptness and comprehensiveness of this total separation, and the lack of warning or opportunity to cure any perceived issue, is shocking.”
The commissioners also said the insurance company’s documentation showing the county’s “loss history” wasn’t accurate. They said 25 of the claims listed are “unrelated to the county.”
They also said the insurance company was equating so-called “nuisance settlements” — often made when an entity decides that paying someone to end a lawsuit would be cheaper or more convenient than fighting the matter in court — with actual misconduct by the county or its representatives.
Tim Osborne, executive director of ICRMP, said in a phone interview that he could not elaborate on the reasons that the board voted to non-renew the policy. He said his office is working to coordinate a meeting with Canyon County officials to review the “documentation” of the reasons the board voted to non-renew. After that meeting, Canyon County officials could request a meeting with the board in open session about how to move forward, he said. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Insurance-company-posed-to-drop-Canyon-County-s-17298054.php | 2022-07-11T22:50:47Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Insurance-company-posed-to-drop-Canyon-County-s-17298054.php | true | 10 |

TV presenter Heather Kovar explained why she seemed to slur his words in a WRGB-Albany news broadcast last Saturday (7/9), which many attributed on social media to the fact that she be “drunk”.
Kovar told “Sun” that she I was sleepless and exhausted after returning to the network shortly after your father’s deathWillie, who left her “shaken”. This was the reason given by him for the speech problems and the “shaggy” look. His father died on May 18.
Kovar was supposed to work the 6:00 and night shifts on Saturday. Because of the repercussion, she revealed that would not renew your contract when it expires on July 31.
Robert Croteau, vice president and general manager of WRGB-Albany, CBS’s New York state affiliate, told the Times Union:
“Heather Kovar has been suspended pending our internal investigation.”
The network’s management has not commented on Heather’s allegation. On Sunday (10/7), he was already replaced by Emma Quinn.
Viewers expressing concern over train wreck of local evening newscast out of Albany. Anchor Heather Kovar appeared disheveled, misspoke, and slurred her words for the entire newscast.

During the broadcast, Heather said rambling phrases:
“As I said, moving on, we also need to report, you know, the news is happening everywhere, in our region, in our country.”
“Well hello! Good afternoon! As I said this morning, if you guys watched us this morning at 6am or 7am, you know what I said? It’s a beautiful day outside. So it’s a perfect time for music on the air. free.”
At another point, the presenter called weatherman Craig Gold, but she accidentally called him “Craig Adams”. Trying to correct the misunderstanding, Heather spoke up: “What I said?”
“Like me, meteorologist Craig Gold is also working a double shift…”she explained.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Brad Keller tossed seven strong innings and rookie Vinnie Pasquantino homered and drove in a pair of runs as the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 3-1 Monday in the opener of a split doubleheader.
Injured Royals infielder Whit Merrifield didn’t play, ending his consecutive games streak at a franchise-record 553 — it dated to June 24, 2018, and was the longest active string in the majors.
“It’s been a great run for Whit,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said. “It’s just been impressive the way he’s been able to go about it.”
Merrifield exited Sunday’s game with right toe discomfort. He was fitted with a walking boot and is expected to be placed on the injured list due to a bone bruise and ligament swelling.
“I’ve been lucky … in some instances, but I’ve put myself in a good position to play every day mentality-wise. I showed up to play no matter the circumstance. It’s been a long run and I’m proud of it," he said.
Keller (5-9) permitted only three singles while fanning eight. He has won three straight starts and four of his last five.
“I felt pretty good out there,” Keller said. “I had good command with my fastball and my slider. I tried to run with it as long as I could. Whenever you get a good feel for the fastball you can go after guys, especially on a hot day like today. I didn’t want the defense to stand out there too long. Obviously, strike one was really important today.”
Said Matheny: “That’s two times these guys have seen him and he was really sharp and aggressive."
“We talk about it all the time. It’s pitching with aggressiveness, trusting the fact that his stuff is better than average. His changeup was good at times. His slider was good to get swings and misses. He needs days like this,” he said.
Scott Barlow earned his 14th save with a scoreless ninth.
Pasquantino lined the first pitch from Michael Pineda (2-4) into the right-field bullpen with two outs in the fourth to open the scoring. It was his second career homer, both against Pineda, and both on the first pitch in the fourth inning.
“I saw the ball pretty well today,” the Royals first baseman said. “On my first at-bat I wish I would have swung at that outside fastball. It was too close to take. The second at-bat I saw it pretty good and was able to get a good swing on it.”
Pineda said he “tried to execute my fastball and he got it.”
“This is one of the pitches I missed today. I tried to locate my fastball a little more away because I know he wanted to swing," he said.
Pasquantino broke a 1-all tie with a sixth-inning single that drove in fellow rookie Bobby Witt Jr., who had two hits and stole two bases.
“I was really happy with being able to stay on it and go the other way,” Pasquantino said. “It’s something I’ve been working on. I finally did it and I’m happy about that. My approach was what I wanted it to be.”
Matheny liked what he saw.
“He put up so many RBIs in Triple-A and all through the minor leagues,” Matheny said. “It’s not a fluke. There are certain guys who thrive when they get guys on base. He got a man in scoring position and he used the (whole) field to bring him in. That’s how big innings happen and that’s how you come through in those situations, not trying to do too much.”
Pineda worked into the sixth inning for only the second time in eight starts, allowing seven hits and three runs.
“I want to say I threw the ball good today,” Pineda said. “I know I could be better. I missed a couple of pitches.”
Riley Greene had two of Detroit’s four singles and scored their lone run in the sixth on Keller’s two-out wild pitch.
“(Keller) was cutting it pretty good,” Greene said. “His pitches were working today. He was throwing all three pitches for strikes, throwing the curveball and slider pretty good. He was throwing pitches that were hard to hit.”
TWINBILLS
Monday’s doubleheader was the Tigers’ sixth of the season, second most in the majors behind Cleveland's seven.
TRANSACTIONS
Royals LHP Daniel Lynch was reinstated from the injured list to start the second game. LHP Foster Griffin was designated for assignment.
UP NEXT
RHP Beau Brieske (2-6, 4.16 ERA) takes the mound for Detroit on Tuesday against LHP Kris Bubic (1-6, 6.84).

Rugby player caught with cannabis worth €10k built up debt using drug to treat injury pain
A student rugby player built up a drug debt from using cannabis to manage pain from an injury, a court has heard.
Darragh Kelly (23) of Sarto Lawns, Sutton, Dublin pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to unlawful possession for sale or supply of cannabis at James Larkin Road, Raheny, Dublin 17 on April 7, 2020.
Kelly was caught by gardai with two bags of cannabis with an estimated street value of €9,804.
Defending counsel Keith Spencer BL told the court that Kelly had built up a drug debt of €4,000 by using cannabis as a form of pain management. He said Kelly came under threats and because of these he agreed to move the drugs from one place to another.
He was a 21 year old student at the time living at home with his parents and was smoking cannabis, the court heard. Mr Spencer said Kelly was involved in playing rugby at “quite a high level” until he was injured and left rugby.
He said Kelly's difficulties arose after he left the sport but that he is back coaching now.
Judge Melanie Greally said that Kelly was not profiting from his actions but was trying to reduce a significant drug debt. She noted a number of character references provided in support of Kelly.
She noted the absence of previous convictions, the strong family support and a good employment history. She also noted he has taken positive steps to address his cannabis use.
She imposed a 15-month prison term but suspended it entirely on condition he keep the peace and be of good behaviour.

Certain medications can make the heat even more dangerous
MIAMI – Certain medications can make the heat even more dangerous.
That's why it's so important to learn about all the sun-related side effects of certain medicines and how to protect yourself.
"Sometimes the reaction can take weeks or months for it to fade," said Dr. Riza Conroy, who practices family medicine at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
Conroy said some medications that don't go well with the sun include some antibiotics, antidepressants, antihistamines, anti-inflammatories and medications for blood pressure and diabetes.
For diabetics, Conroy said bring a cooler when you're out as the heat can degrade insulin and other medicines.
"Put the medication, especially insulin, in the cooler and keep it nice, cool and dark," Conroy said.
Conroy said sun-related side effects of medications usually develop about 24 to 72 hours after sun exposure. They may appear to be an exaggerated sunburn.
"It looks red. Sometimes scaly, sometimes itchy and sometimes, when it's really bad, blisters and spots that resemble hives," Conroy said.
When possible, Conroy says to take the medicine before bed instead of the morning and follow the SunSmart steps:
- Slip on clothing that covers the body.
- Slop on SPF 15 to 30 or higher broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen.
- Slap on a hat.
- Seek shade, avoiding the sun between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Slide on sunglasses with UV protection and side panels.
If the sun causes a reaction, talk to your doctor. They may have you stop taking your medication or lower the dose. Topical or oral treatments can help.

MIAMI – People taking to the streets around Miami, remembering their brothers and sisters in Cuba.
"I'm asking for freedom of Cuba. It's 63 years already, enough is enough," said Carmen Vines.
One year ago, tens of thousands of Cubans marched in the street – an unprecedented defiance of the government. Many were arrested and thrown in prison.
"They didn't' ask for food, they didn't ask for medicine, they didn't ask for covid vaccines, they ask for freedom," said Maria Lima.
Here in South Florida a year ago, we saw several days of large rallies as people stood shoulder to shoulder with those on the island.
"They just want freedom, that's it. That's what they want. They want the freedom to choose their own leaders, they want freedom of expression, freedom of the press," Rep. Carlos Gimenez said.
Rallies popped up in several locations on this anniversary, like one on Bird Road and 87 Avenue, and another in front of Versailles.
"Even though I was born in America my family fled from communism the fact that 63 years late they're still fighting that, so many people that are Cuban are still fighting," Ivette Dominguez said.
And it's not just Cuban Americans who are called to action.
"All Americans can respect the right for freedom, human rights. understand that 90 miles away that's not going on," Silvia Gutierrez said. "Don't support the regime by thinking that it's OK to travel to Cuba, because it isn't. Money that you spend there goes to the regime."

Federal prosecutors say a southwestern Minnesota farmer reaped up to $46 million in payments selling conventionally-grown corn and soybeans that he told buyers was organic.
The federal prosecutor's office in Minneapolis on Monday announced James Clayton Wolf, of Jeffers, has been indicted by a grand jury with felony wire fraud, saying the rural Minnesota farmer was "engaged in a scheme" that defrauded grain buyers and undermined the nation's organic labeling system.
A charging document filed in U.S. District Court for Minnesota says between 2014 and 2020 Wolf used chemical fertilizers and pesticides to grow corn and soybeans in his rural Cottonwood County farm that he later sold as falsely labeled organic grain. In other instances, Wolf — who did not possess a license to purchase grain — bought non-organic grain that he, in turn, sold to buyers as organically farmed crops.
"The fact that the grain was not organic was material to the buyers, who would not have bought grains that were not organically farmed," the grand jury said in its indictment, filed July 7.
While organic farming uses non-GMO seeds, the organic label places additional requirements on the growing practices. Organic grains are grown without chemicals or fertilizers and typically fetch higher prices at market than non-organic crops.
Certification of organic crops is controlled by the federal National Organic Program, run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The grand jury's indictment says Wolf's organic farming certification was revoked in 2020. However, according to the document, Wolf continued selling non-GMO grain falsely labeled as organic through an "associate."
In one instance, court records show that Wolf corresponded via e-mail with a grain purchaser in Pennsylvania in October of 2020 to sell "organic corn."
In a brief phone call Monday, Wolf's attorney did not address the specific charges.
"Mr. Wolf is a 65-year-old career farmer, who has never been in trouble," said attorney Paul Engh. "He's led a good life and now seeks his vindication."
Wolf is scheduled to appear before a magistrate judge on July 22.
Wire fraud is a Class C felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison, according to federal sentencing guidelines. U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger's office noted in a news release that the indictment is the result of collaboration between the FBI and the inspector general's office for USDA. | https://m.startribune.com/cottonwood-county-farmer-charged-in-46-million-organic-grain-fraud-scheme/600189372/ | 2022-07-11T23:23:29Z | https://m.startribune.com/cottonwood-county-farmer-charged-in-46-million-organic-grain-fraud-scheme/600189372/ | true | 4 |
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will turn its focus this week to former President Trump’s campaign to rally protesters to Washington, pointing to one tweet in particular as a pivotal moment in the violent effort to overturn his election defeat.
“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Trump tweeted Dec. 19, 2020.
That message, the investigators contend, acted as a shrewd battle cry to the far-right extremist groups and other supporters who were wrongly convinced the election had been “stolen” and viewed Jan. 6, 2021 — when Congress met to certify Joe Biden’s victory — as their last best chance to keep Trump in power.
On Tuesday, lawmakers on the select committee will drill into the events both before and after the tweet, using their latest public hearing in the wide-ranging investigation to advance their case that Trump’s allies acted in cahoots with the violent extremists who would ultimately storm the Capitol.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who will help lead Tuesday’s hearing, noted that the tweet followed a Dec. 18, 2020, meeting at the White House where some of Trump’s closest allies pushed him to seize voting machines in key states. Trump ultimately decided against the idea, but as options dwindled to remain in power, he shifted gears to focus on a protest the day of the election certification — something online chatter shows Trump’s most zealous supporters took as a call to arms.
Trump’s first full-throated endorsement of that protest — the now-infamous Dec. 19 tweet, sent at 1:42 a.m. — cited a report from Peter Navarro, a top aide, claiming to demonstrate proof of massive voter fraud. “Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election,” Trump wrote, before urging his supporters to come to Washington on Jan. 6 for the “wild” protest.
A year and a half later, the committee is leaning on that message to boost their allegations that Trump orchestrated the Capitol attack in a last-ditch effort to cling to power.
“Donald Trump sent out the tweet that would be heard around the world, the first time in American history when a president of the United States called a protest against his own government, in fact, to try to stop the counting of electoral college votes in a presidential election he had lost,” Raskin said Sunday in an appearance on CBS News’s “Face The Nation.”
“People are going to hear the story of that tweet, and then the explosive effect it had in Trump World and specifically among the domestic violent extremist groups, the most dangerous political extremists in the country,” Raskin said.
It’s those groups — including the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, both of which were on the front lines of the Capitol insurrection — that will be the focus of Tuesday’s hearing, the seventh since the middle of June.
The panel will also explore the role of QAnon, a far-right political movement based largely on a series of extravagant conspiracy theories including a belief that the country is governed by covert cabals of Satan-worshiping pedophiles.
“We’ll show how some of these right-wing extremist groups who came to D.C. [and] led the attack on the Capitol and had ties to Trump associates,” a select committee aide said Monday.
The most prominent connection between those two worlds, up to now, has been the association between the extremist groups and two former Trump advisers, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, both of whom were vocal figures in the “Stop the Steal” movement and used members of those groups for protective services. Trump had urged his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, to contact both Stone and Flynn on Jan. 5, according to a former West Wing aide who testified before the committee last month.
Trump communications guru Dan Scavino is another possible link between the president and extremist groups, with Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) noting “his interactions with an online forum called ‘The Donald.win’ and with QAnon, a bizarre and dangerous cult.”
Aides for the select committee said they would also have more information to offer on the efforts of Republican lawmakers, including “their involvement in a pressure campaign against the vice president specifically.”
“In the last days leading up to Jan. 6, where we did see sort of all these last ditch efforts to overturn the election results and stop transfer of power, the involvement of members of Congress became more apparent,” another aide said.
The committee would not formally disclose its witness list for Tuesday’s hearing, but reports indicate Jason Van Tatenhove, a former spokesman for the Oath Keepers who parted ways with the militia group in 2017, will appear.
According to documents already made public, Trump’s tweet appears to have mobilized a number of groups.
Stop the Steal organizer Ali Alexander applied for a permit on the Capitol grounds “on or about” Dec. 21, roughly two days after Trump’s tweet, according to a subpoena from the select committee.
Organizations like the Proud Boys were also spurred to action, with prosecutors noting that the group’s leader at the time, Enrique Tarrio, started a “Ministry of Self Defense” chapter that would serve as their “national rally planning” group and would consist only of “hand selected members,” according to Tarrio’s March indictment. His launching of the group fell roughly a week after his Dec. 12 visit to the White House — something the Trump administration said he did on a public tour.
An indictment for Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes likewise indicates the far-right militia group initiated plans to travel to the rally in “late December,” coordinating their travel plans through encrypted messaging apps.
Members of both groups, including Rhodes and Tarrio, have since been indicted for seditious conspiracy, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
The tweet from Trump also ignited excitement on various pro-Trump platforms, including a page dedicated to the president on Reddit, as well as theDonald.win.
Their takeaway was that Trump was calling them to come to D.C. prepared to engage in violence.
“He can’t exactly openly tell you to revolt. This is the closest he’ll ever get,” one user wrote on Reddit.
“I read that as armed,” another user wrote.
“Then bring the guns we shall,” wrote another.
Others focused on the “wild” part of Trump’s message, with some drawing comparisons to the Wild West.
“’Will Be Wild’ is a hidden message for us to be prepared ….as in armed,” another user wrote on Reddit.
Trump supporters’ openness about their interpretation of his tweet has long been used as evidence of an intelligence failure leading up to the attack.
And documentation shows it wasn’t just chatter.
Reviews have since indicated law enforcement largely overlooked plans to storm the Capitol, including the sharing of maps detailing the Capitol’s below ground tunnel system.
And subsequent filings in the seditious conspiracy case against various Oath Keepers members show they staged a “quick reaction force” at a Comfort Inn in Virginia, wheeling in “bags and large bins of weapons, ammunition, and essential supplies to last 30 days,” according to a January court filing.
Tuesday’s hearing is the only one slated for this week, committee aides said, with another hearing planned for some point the following week. | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/national-news/j-6-panel-shifts-focus-to-trump-tweet-heard-around-the-world/ | 2022-07-11T23:24:52Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/national-news/j-6-panel-shifts-focus-to-trump-tweet-heard-around-the-world/ | true | 20 |
ATLANTA – Robinson Canó remains confident in his skills as he has been given an opportunity to revive his career at 39 while starting — at least on a fill-in basis — for the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves.
Canó carries a .301 career batting average with more than 2,600 hits, but he struggled in short stints with the New York Mets and San Diego Padres this season.
The Braves, in need of a left-handed hitter who can help at second base, obtained Canó for $1 in a minor league deal with the Padres on Sunday.
Canó instantly joined Atlanta’s starting lineup, playing second base and batting ninth as the Braves opened a series Monday night against his former team, the NL East-leading New York Mets.
“I know what work I’ve put in the offseason and I’ve always believed in myself and the stuff that I do to prepare myself," Canó said following batting practice on Monday. “I feel that I can still play this game."
The Braves trailed the Mets by 1 1/2 games going into the three-game set at Truist Park.
Canó gives the Braves another option at second base after Ozzie Albies went down with a broken foot.
With the Mets in town, Canó attracted a large crowd of reporters with no shortage of questions about his past and future.
Asked if he felt he received a fair shot with the Mets, Canó said “I don’t want to go back to the past. ... There’s no hard feelings. I’ve got friends on the other side and I always wish them the best."
Canó hit .256 with New York in 2019 and .316 in only 49 games in 2020.
Canó hit a combined .149 with one homer and four RBIs in 74 at-bats for the Padres and Mets this season. He batted .333 with three homers and 20 RBIs in 96 at-bats for Triple-A El Paso after the Padres released him and re-signed him to a minor league deal last month.
“I think he was rusty when he was here for the first two times," Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Canó's early season struggles. “You’re just hoping you get what Robinson Canó is capable of. It’s worth a try. He’s been playing a month in Triple-A and doing well, so we’ll see. He’s in a great shape.”
Snitker managed Canó's father, José Canó, who was a minor league pitcher for the Class A Durham Braves in 1984.
“He was one of my starters in Durham," Snitker said.
The younger Canó arrived in Atlanta equipped with stories about Snitker from his dad. He said he's also heard about the Braves from friends on the team, including his offseason workout partner Marcell Ozuna.
“Everything they’ve said about this team is good," Canó said.
“I’m excited for the opportunity and also happy to be here. I’ve seen from the other side, the energy and the chemistry and the fans show up every day to support this team."
Albies fractured his foot last month in an at-bat, and Atlanta has been relying on Orlando Arcia as his replacement.
Arcia was hitting .252 with three homers and 17 RBIs in 123 at-bats this year. Snitker said he’s been pleased with Albies’ replacement, especially his defense.
The Mets owe Canó nearly $45 million remaining on his original contract signed with Seattle. He was earning a prorated share of the $700,000 minimum in his major league deal with San Diego. He sat out last season in serving a second suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.
Canó was an eight-time All-Star while with the New York Yankees and Seattle. He is a two-time Gold Glover with 335 home runs and 1,306 RBIs in 17 seasons.
The Padres signed him to a minor league deal on June 10, eight days after releasing him.
In addition to adding Canó to the 26-man roster, the Braves reinstated outfielder Adam Duvall from the paternity list.
First baseman Mike Ford was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett and infielder Phil Gosselin was designated for assignment.
The Braves also traded three minor leaguers to Kansas City for the overall No. 35 pick in this month's MLB draft.
Outfielder Drew Waters, right-handed pitcher Andrew Hoffmann and infielder CJ Alexander were sent to the Royals. Waters will be optioned to Triple-A Omaha while Hoffman and Alexander will be assigned to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
Waters, 23, hit .246 in 49 games at Triple-A Gwinnett this year. Last season, he stole 28 bases in Triple-A.
Hoffmann, 22, was 7-2 with a 2.36 ERA in 15 starts at High-A Rome. Alexander, 25, hit .258 with 15 home runs and 13 steals in 68 games with Double-A Mississippi.
