The Rolling Stones ‘Sticky Fingers’ classic ‘Bitch’ made its first appearance since 2019 at a Stones gig in Brussels.
‘Bitch’ was last played twice in 2019 on the Stones No Filter tour of the USA. It was also played twice in 2018 in Warsaw, Poland and Twickenham, UK.
It was played once each in 2017 and 2016 in Dusseldorf, Germany and São Paulo, Brazil.
‘Bitch’ was more frequent in 2014 and 2015. Brisbane, Sydney and Perth had a Bitch session on the 14 on Fire tour, as did shows in Japan and France. It was also played 13 times on the Zip Code North American tour of 2015.
With The Rolling Stones bowing to the pressure of the extremist Wokes, the removal of ‘Brown Sugar’ from the setlist had left the classic ‘Sticky Fingers’ album totally misrepresented in a Stones playlist.
It is ironic that The Stones are no longer playing ‘Brown Sugar’, a song Mick Jagger wrote in Australia while filming Ned Kelly, because the Woke brigade says it glorifies ‘slavery, rape, torture and pedophilia’.
However ‘Bitch’ with the lyrics “Yeah, you got to mix it, child, you got to fix
It must be love, it’s a bitch”, ‘Midnight Rambler’ with the words “I’m called the hit-and-run raper in anger
The knife-sharpened tippie-toe
Or just the shoot ’em dead, brainbell jangler
You know, the one you never seen before” and ‘Gimme Shelter’ with “Rape, murder!
It’s just a shot away” seem to have slipped past the censor.

Quiltt's Low-Code Platform Launches in Beta to Startups and Small Businesses
DALLAS, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Low-code consumer fintech platform Quiltt announced today that it has raised $4M in venture capital to expand access to financial services technology for consumers by dramatically lowering technical barriers for innovators. The seed round was co-led by Greycroft and Newark Venture Partners, with participation by Motivate Ventures, Abstraction Capital, Tectonic Capital, Bridge Investments and others.
Ruben Izmailyan, CEO and co-founder of Quiltt said, "Quiltt's vision is to make fintech development more accessible so that more growing businesses and startups can create seamless experiences for their customers. We are excited to partner with leading fintech investors who are as passionate about this opportunity as we are."
Today, as the fintech stack continues to grow in complexity, delivering compelling fintech-enabled experiences requires too much repetitive and costly data engineering work. From managing endless API integrations to wrangling messy financial data into holistic customer profiles, startups and enterprises are spending precious engineering resources to reinvent the wheel. Quiltt's platform comes pre-integrated with best-in-class fintech providers like Plaid, Spade and ApexEdge (Billshark), freeing up companies to focus on their core competencies. In addition to its unified API, Quiltt provides a suite of no-code UI modules to allow anyone to rapidly experiment on top of its data platform.
"With just Quiltt and Zapier, we're able to conceive and build custom fintech experiences in hours rather than months. Quiltt has given us the ability to experiment and iterate at a rate that was previously unimaginable," said Joseph Graves, Founder and CEO of Round4Good
Nathan Pinto, Co-Founder & CEO of Credit Mountain said, "Leveraging Quiltt's pre-built integrations to Plaid and Spade has allowed our engineers to focus on building the best member experience for our customers."
"As consumers of financial services, we often don't recognize how many data services and transaction processing systems are involved in each interaction. That is by design, as we would not enjoy an easy end-user experience if we had to interact with these services, but building and maintaining the right underlying connections remains a bottleneck for developers. Quiltt abstracts away the complexity of working with these services so developers can innovate faster and put more great financial experiences in the hands of consumers. We are excited to help Ruben and Mark turn that vision into reality," said Will Szczerbiak, Partner at Greycroft
"As thematic investors in the fintech space, we see Quiltt solving an important and growing problem for businesses struggling to integrate all the financial data and services they need to satisfy their customers and grow," said Dan Borok, Managing Partner of Newark Venture Partners. "Quiltt's low-code, one-and-done platform is flexible, simple, and consolidates all the data in the fintech stack. Mark and Ruben have the right combination of financial service and startup experiences to make Quiltt a need-to-have tool for businesses and developers across industries."
Founders MarkBechhofer and Ruben Izmailyan previously built a personal finance app where they learned firsthand about the many challenges of building great financial experiences for consumers. The founding team brings experience from companies like S&P Capital IQ, Chime, Dropbox and Relationship Science. The funding will be used to add data integrations, build new capabilities, and expand the engineering team.
Quiltt is a low-code fintech platform that empowers startups and small businesses to launch innovative and efficient financial experiences for their customers. For more information visit Quiltt.io

When the bids are announced Tuesday, the social satire "Succession," a 2020 top-drama winner, may face a showdown with "Squid Game." The South Korean hit about a brutal survival contest is vying to become the first non-English language Emmy nominee.
The Emmys once were dominated by broadcast networks and then cable, with the rise of streaming services changing the balance of power and perhaps the awards themselves. The possibility of Netflix's "Squid Game" joining the Emmy mix is the result of streaming's global marketplace focus.
Check back here for a full list of nominees.
Other possible drama contenders include the modern Western "Yellowstone," workplace thriller "Severance" and "Yellowjackets," a hybrid survival and coming-of-age tale.
Potential competition for "Ted Lasso," which claimed seven trophies including best comedy last year, includes the inaugural seasons of "Abbott Elementary" and "Only Murders in the Building" - both popular and critical successes.
Past top comedy winner "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" also is vying for nods.
There are a number of outgoing shows looking for some final Emmy love. Among dramas that includes "This Is Us," and "Ozark," with "Insecure" and "black-ish" on the comedy side.
Jean Smart, last year's best comedy actress winner for "Hacks," is in the running for a nod again, as is the series, with "Ted Lasso" star Jason Sudeikis hoping to repeat his 2021 comedy actor win. Bill Hader is chasing a third award in the category for "Barry."
"The Crown," which dominated the 2021 drama awards, wasn't televised within the eligibility period and is sitting this year out.
JB Smoove ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), Melissa Fumero ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine") and Television Academy Chairman and CEO Frank Scherma were to announce the nominees. The Emmy ceremony is set for Sept. 12 and will air on NBC, with a host yet to be announced. | https://abc7news.com/emmy-nominations-2022-emmys-awards-tv/12043604/ | 2022-07-12T12:56:30Z | https://abc7news.com/emmy-nominations-2022-emmys-awards-tv/12043604/ | false | 54 |
TORONTO, July 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARHT Media Inc. ("ARHT Media" or “ARHT” or the "Company") [TSXV:ART], the global leader in the development, production and distribution of high-quality and low-latency hologram and digital content, announces that Carleton University will deploy ARHT Media’s HoloPresence™ technology to design a new medium of distance learning, for remote students in a Northern Community in Yukon, Canada.
The Sprott School of Business at Carleton University, in partnership with ARHT, will assess the effectiveness of ARHT’s live hologram technology to aid in remote post-secondary instruction and community engagement. Sprott faculty and students are already involved in programs in Northern communities, however given the difficulty of travelling to and from the region, the majority of the school’s involvement has been limited to virtual interaction through video conferencing. Now, thanks to CAPSULE, ARHT’s latest 4K hologram display that can display live interactive holograms, students located in this remote Northern community will be able to interact with faculty and students in Ottawa in a more engaging and meaningful manner than they typically have been in the past, potentially improving both the quality of remote instruction and the learning experience of students.
“Our partner Northern communities have identified student engagement as one of the more pressing educational problems they face. School staffing and resources are often stretched, and we are investigating the value-added of this great new technology,” stated Troy Anderson, Instructor at Carleton University, “With ARHT’s live hologram technology, we will assess improvements in engagement and content retention through the use of live holograms. We will also be investigating other promising uses of the technology that might be of benefit to these communities.”
“Access to the best quality education is crucial to the success of individuals, and often when you live in such remote locations it can be a challenge to access post-secondary instruction,” stated ARHT CEO, Larry O’Reilly. “Our live hologram technology will greatly help the Northern community and faculty and students at Carleton interact with each other with a sense of presence and really contribute to education offered to students in remote contexts. This is a great initiative that we hope to see expanded and repeated.”

Allows Advertisers to Own Powerful First-Party Data and Optimize Campaign Results by Retargeting Consumers Based on Their Response to Offers and Incentives
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SKUx, an innovative fintech company redefining the way consumer offers are delivered, redeemed, settled and reported, today announced the launch of Buyer (X)ccelerator™, creating the first offer platform to enable the capture of powerful first-party data based on how consumers engage with offers. Near real-time data from Buyer (X) quantifies and optimizes campaign results through precise personalization and retargeting, while the advertisers retain all insights and PII data for future marketing initiatives.
Buyer (X)ccelerator™ allows brands, retailers and agencies to capture and keep near-real-time insights and data into every consumer who engages with their offer across 20 different engagement factors—from initial engagement through offer redemption. Advertisers can dramatically improve results by retargeting consumers who show initial interest but don't redeem as well as consumers who do redeem to drive additional sales and loyalty. Advertisers can also optimize campaign results by conducting A/B testing in near-real time, e.g., offer values, creative and media delivery methods.
Only Buyer (X)ccelerator™ allows advertisers to retain the first-party data generated by their campaigns for future target marketing and personalization, both on and off the SKUx platform. Brands, retailers and agencies choose, design and use their creative and campaign strategies, while the SKUx platform and its Buyer (X) solution make every offer serialized, secure and rich in data.
"With SKUx, we can now view consumers through their offer journey. This allows us to personalize, retarget, and create one-to-one relationships not with only buyers but with hard to reach potential buyers considering our brand. We can use our media, our offer, and deliver higher ROI and long term customer relationships," said Bruce Schlee, president and owner of Strike Force Beverage Company, maker of concentrated, sugar-free energy packets that turn your favorite beverage into an energy drink.
A recent Strike Force Energy promotion underscores the power of Buyer (X) to help brands gain personalized consumer insights, sales growth and new trial. Using their own media selection, offer and creative, Strike Force increased engagement at every step in the consumer journey, creating 22 percent additional redemptions. Some 97 percent of consumers who viewed the offer claimed it, and 44 percent of those consumers redeemed the offer. Nearly one-third of those who redeemed the offer had never heard of Strike Force previously. In a survey of consumers who redeemed, 80 percent rated the process "extremely easy" or "easy."
Strike Force is already planning additional offer campaigns utilizing Buyer (X)ccelerator™. Strike Force retains all of the first-party consumer data generated by this and future campaigns.
SKUx is revolutionizing the consumer offer industry, unlocking billions of dollars in value currently being lost to fraud and inefficiency across in-store, on-premise, and online. The company is set to replace the outdated process of coupons, rebates, and promotional offers, solving long-term industry challenges for retailers, consumer brands, marketing agencies, restaurants/fast casual, and more. SKUx delivers a powerful end-to-end payments-based system across offer delivery, redemption, settlement, reporting—and now first-party data collection with Buyer (X)ccelerator™.
The SKUx platform requires no special integration by retailers or brands. Brands and retailers can use their offer and their media. The SKUx platform transforms promotions into trusted single-use, serialized offers. Marketers have unparalleled and near immediate visibility into their campaigns, allowing them to optimize performance, stay within predetermined budgets—and now track the individual buyer journey of anyone who engages with an offer.
Buyer (X)ccelerator™ meets all local, state and federal requirements for security and privacy protection.
"First-party data is a powerful tool to build closer customer relationships and greater value for consumers based on a deeper understanding of their behavior and preferences. But not all first-party data is created equal," said Bobby Tinsley, co-founder and EVP of SKUx. "Buyer (X)ccelerator™ provides deeper and more valuable insights into actual buying behavior and consumer interest in your offers and brands. We carefully analyzed the new laws, regulations, and system implementations prohibiting third-party cookies and implemented a consumer-empowered approach to provide personalized offers to consumers without infringing on consumer privacy rights."
"With Buyer (X), you use your media, your offer, and your campaign strategy and creative. Your offers generate the data, so you should retain those insights. With Buyer (X)ccelerator™, you finally can do just that," Tinsley added.
- Near-real-time insights into every consumer who engages with your offer across 20 different engagement factors
- Find and convert consumers who engage but don't redeem
- Gather valuable cross-channel attribution insights to improve campaigns
- Build rich first-party data bases for use in ongoing marketing efforts in perpetuity on or off the SKUx platform
- Unique opportunity to continuously market to prospective buyers to further build trust and loyalty for your brands
- Meets local, state and federal privacy requirements
A leading fintech innovator, SKUx gives brands and retailers the power to deliver secure, serialized, intuitive digital offers anywhere, anytime, at the speed of today's consumer. SKUx transforms virtually any coupon, rebate, or promotional offer into product-based payments for the world's leading brands, marketing agencies, and retailers. Leveraging Hedera Hashgraph distributed ledger technology, the company's patented Smart Incentives™ platform combines offer details, serialization, first-party data acquisition, funding, and settlement in near real-time. The result – increased customer trust, laser sharp transparency for all industry stakeholders, and new opportunities for consumer engagement.

FDA working to allow boosters for all adults
Published: Jul. 12, 2022 at 7:22 AM CDT|Updated: 35 minutes ago
(CNN) - The White House wants to make second COVID boosters available to all adults.
Second boosters are currently only authorized for people who are at least 50 years old or immunocompromised.
The Food and Drug Administration is working to change that.
Some experts are worried younger adults’ immunity is waning, and the Ba.5 sub-variant of omicron is more likely to reinfect people than previous variants.
One question that remains is how many people would get second boosters.
Only about half of Americans eligible for a first booster have gotten one.
Just more than a quarter of those already qualified for a second booster have gotten that shot.

'Increased fire risk' posed by heatwave, says Suffolk's chief fire officer
- Credit: Archant
Suffolk's chief fire officer has encouraged people to minimise the "increased fire risk" posed by scorching temperatures this week, after the Met Office issued an "extreme heat" warning for Suffolk.
Jon Lacey, chief fire officer for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, said: "We want everyone to be able to enjoy the fantastic weather, but to do so safely, so as not to put themselves and our firefighters at risk.
"Suffolk is a rural county with lots of green open spaces that we need to protect from the increased fire risk caused by the heatwave. Please pay your part by avoiding barbecues and campfires on dry grass or near hedges, putting out cigarettes properly before disposing of them and calling 999 immediately if you spot any signs of a fire out in the open."
Suffolk County Council instruct people to take the following precautions when holding barbecues:
- Do not use liquids to start a barbecue, as a liquid can splash onto your clothes causing them to ignite
- Site the barbecue well away from anything flammable, such as sheds, fences and shrubs
- Never build a fire in fields or forests
- Position the barbecue on a firm, level base and shelter it from gusts of wind
- Beware when wearing loose, flowing clothes and tie hair back
- Do not allow barbecues to burn fiercely enough to burst into flames
- If you have a gas barbecue, take extra care when changing the gas cylinders
- Keep at least one bucket of water handy - just in case.
Mr Lacey also emphasised the importance of staying safe while taking a swim to cool down, as around 85% of drownings take place in open water.
He said: "Many people don't realise the danger to life posed by the shock from cold water temperatures, strong currents and uneven banks and riverbeds. I'd urge everyone to follow guidance from the Royal Life Saving Society to help prevent death or serious injury."

Large organizations lead the pack with Energy & Utilities, Insurance and Consulting most at risk for social engineering followed by Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals for small and midsize organizations.
TAMPA BAY, Fla., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, has released the new 2022 Phishing by Industry Benchmarking Report to measure an organization's Phish-proneTM Percentage (PPP), which indicates how many of their employees are likely to fall for phishing or a social engineering scam.
With ransomware payments averaging $580,000 in 2021 and business email compromise (BEC) losses topping $1.8 billion in 2020, a cyber attack can wreak havoc on an organization. Yet, according to the baseline testing conducted for the report, without security training, across all industries, 32.4% of employees are likely to click on a suspicious link or comply with a fraudulent request. In some large category industries, such as Consulting, Energy & Utilities, and Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals, the percentage is over 50%.
KnowBe4 analyzed a data set of over 9.5 million users across 30,173 organizations, with over 23.4 million simulated phishing security tests across 19 different industries. The resulting baseline "Phish-proneTM Percentage (PPP)" measures the percentage of employees in organizations that had not conducted any KnowBe4 security training, who clicked a simulated phishing email link or opened an infected attachment during testing.
When companies implemented a combination of training and simulated phishing security testing after their initial baseline measurement, results changed dramatically. In 90 days after completing monthly or more frequent security training, the average PPP decreased to 17.6%. After twelve months of security training and simulated phishing security tests, the average PPP dropped to five percent, indicating that new habits become normal, fostering a stronger security culture.
The report underscores the fact that while technology plays an important role in preventing and recovering from an attack, companies cannot afford to ignore the human factor. Verizon's 2022 Data Breach Investigations report states that 82% of breaches this year involved the human element.
"In critical industries like Energy & Utilities and Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals where lives can be severely impacted, we found particularly high levels of cybersecurity risk as a result of simulated phishing test failures," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. "With the steep cost of cyberattacks, this is deeply concerning. Given that most data breaches originate from social engineering, we cannot afford to omit the human element. Implementing security awareness training with simulated phishing testing will help to better protect organizations against cyber attacks and result in a more secure organizational culture."

LAUNCESTON, Australia, July 12 (Reuters) - With thermal coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices holding close to record highs in Asia, it would be logical to expect demand destruction, especially in developing nations said to be price sensitive.
But it isn't happening yet.
India, the world's second-biggest coal importer, behind China, saw record arrivals in June of thermal coal, used mainly to generate electricity, according to data compiled by commodity analysts Kpler.
Thermal coal imports were 19.22 million tonnes in June, up 35% from May's 14.23 million and 56% above the level of June 2021, the data showed.
India's LNG imports also remained robust, coming in at 1.87 million tonnes, according to Kpler.
While this was down from May's 2.15 million tonnes, it was above the 1.84 million from June last year. It's also worth noting that May's imports were the strongest in seven months.
India has long been assumed to be sensitive to high prices, and certainly its actions in boosting imports of highly discounted Russian crude oil in recent months have supported the assumption.
But, if anything, thermal coal and spot LNG prices have risen far more sharply than crude oil since Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine and are trading at extreme levels compared with long-run averages.
The weekly index for benchmark Australian thermal coal at Newcastle port ARGMCCINDX=ARG, as assessed by commodity price reporting agency Argus, was $410.82 a tonne for the seven days to July 8.
This was down from the record high of $425.31 a tonne in the week to May 20, but was still 194% higher than the $138.80 at the same week in July last year, and some 755% above the $48.07 that prevailed in July 2020.
India has been reducing the volume of thermal coal it buys from Australia but still took 1.9 million tonnes in June, although this was down from 3.39 million in the same month in 2021.
It has boosted imports of cheaper, lower-quality coal from Indonesia, with June arrivals at 14.25 million tonnes, up from 4.37 million in June 2021.
However, while this will help with the import bill, Indonesian coal is also trading at elevated levels, with fuel containing 4,200 kilocalories per kilogram IDIDX42GRW1=ARG assessed at $84.99 a tonne in the week to July 8.
This is down from the high so far this year of $120.86 a tonne on March 11, but is 33.6% above the $63.59 of the same week in July last year and 263% higher than the $23.39 of July 2020.
LNG VOLUMES
Spot LNG prices are also still at near-record levels as concern over Russia's natural gas supplies to Europe by pipeline continue to overshadow the market.
New York-traded futures based on the S&P Global Commodity Insights JKM benchmark JKMc1 ended at $38.84 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) on Monday. That is down from the record high of $51.77 on March 7 but still 212% above the $12.45 at the same time in July last year and an astonishing 1,700% above the $2.16 of the same day in July 2020.
It's not only India that has continued to import expensive fossil fuels, with neighbouring Pakistan seeing LNG arrivals of 750,000 tonnes in June.
This was down from May's 770,000, but June and May were Pakistan's strongest months for LNG imports since May 2021, and June's figure was 15.4% above the same month last year.
If there is a sign of high prices starting to affect demand, it's in Pakistan's imports of thermal coal, which dropped to 611,090 tonnes in June, according to Kpler.
This is down from 1.24 million tonnes in May, and 1.48 million in June last year.
South Africa, the world's third-largest coal exporter, has in recent years been a top supplier to Pakistan, but imports dropped to just 230,472 tonnes in June, down from 820,922 in June last year.
This most likely reflects South Africa being a swing supplier to Europe, which has boosted coal imports from countries other than Russia, which has been the top supplier to the continent.
Looking at Asia as a whole, thermal coal imports increased in June to 68.96 million tonnes from May's 62.8 million, and were roughly in line with the 69.58 million in June last year.
LNG imports in Asia were 20.51 million tonnes in June, down slightly from May's 21.98 million and the 21.85 million in the same month last year.
Overall, the flows data indicates that, despite high prices, demand for power generation fuels such as thermal coal and LNG is holding up, especially in countries where sharp declines may have been expected.

Operators now have access to Teren data for operational assets and development projects across the U.S.
DENVER, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Teren, the climate resilience analytics company, today announced its expanded Premium 4D Content program for regions across the United States, including the Gulf Coast, Midwest, Rocky Mountains, and West Coast. Teren acquires and processes high-fidelity LiDAR data 10-100x faster than the competition, makes it available via its content library, and delivers analytics with actionable insights to energy and engineering firms.
"Climate change is causing drought, flooding, landslides, and wildfires across the country – significantly impacting asset owners and project developers. As a result, the market demand for high-fidelity, temporal data to identify, prioritize, and monitor climate-related risk is higher than ever," said Toby Kraft, Teren CEO.
Teren is amassing a content library of remotely-sensed 3D (spatial) data across the United States. That data is updated on regular intervals to monitor changes over time providing a unique 4D (temporal) view. This 4D data library feeds analytics that identify risk, inform mitigation, and strengthen asset resilience. While remotely-sensed data has traditionally been sourced on a project-by-project basis, Teren offers its data and analytics as a subscription service. This model drives down the costs for clients and stakeholders, helping to maximize the speed of delivery, return on investment, and data value.
"In our flagship content region, Appalachia, our customers tap into our 4D content library to identify and monitor the terrain and surface conditions surrounding their assets – primarily aiming to identify and mitigate landslides before they become catastrophic incidents," said Kraft. "We're expanding the program nationwide to meet the growing demand for terrain monitoring and climate resilience analytics around events such as erosion, flooding, wildfire, and more."
Teren's solution saved clients in Appalachia an estimated $152 million annually – preventing 24 failures per year due to landslides and saving roughly 15 B cubic feet per day of natural gas from leaking. While landslides are not as pervasive across the United States, companies can apply the data and analytics suite for the following:
- Gulf Coast – Inundation, subsidence, land movement
- Midwest – Erosion, flooding, subsidence
- Rock Mountains – Landslides, flooding, wildfire
- West Coast – Wildfires, land movement, flooding
Traditionally used by the energy sector, Teren's data has also proven to be highly valuable to state and federal agencies, insurers, and civil engineers. Teren expects to see increased variability across clients and use cases as the content region expands.
"Teren's highly accurate terrain data and climate resilience analytics provide developers and operators with critical insights at unmatched speed and cost-efficiencies," Kraft added.

Denver-based Teren is a leading climate resilience analytics company. By harnessing the plethora of remotely sensed data from orbit and airborne platforms, Teren delivers hyper-localized, asset-level insights for managing climate risk and building resilience over time.

Matt Ryan hits game-winner, suffers injury in wild Celtics-Bucks ending

Watch: Celtics' Matt Ryan hits crazy game-winning three vs. Bucks originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Anything can happen at the NBA Summer League, and we mean anything.
The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks proved as much Monday night with a highly-entertaining game that included some monster dunks, several late lead changes and a wild finish.
Forsberg: Trevion Williams is the positivity passer for Summer Celtics
With Boston trailing by one point and just 6.3 seconds remaining, Matt Ryan raced down the court and heaved a 3-pointer that went in off the glass to give the Celtics a dramatic 111-109 win at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas.
Adding to the craziness was that Ryan appeared to sprain his ankle on the play, leaving him writhing on the court in pain after he hit the game-winner.
Ryan walked off the court under his own power, though, and had plenty to feel good about after scoring a team-high 23 points on 7 of 12 shooting (6 of 11 from 3-point range). Ryan's heroics also caught the attention of Celtics forward Grant Williams, who was sitting courtside for the action.
Bucks : Celebrating getting the lead! Matt Ryan : Watch this https://t.co/0JCvOq4LmW pic.twitter.com/njFzYSkgad
— Grant Williams (@Grant2Will) July 12, 2022
Ryan once again will battle for a roster spot after signing a two-way contract with the Celtics in February. But the 25-year-old is just happy to be on a basketball court considering where he was at this point last year.
ð¥: @ASherrodblakely asked Matt Ryan about how it feels to see his hard work starting to pay off.
He got choked up a bit while reflecting on the fact that a year ago he was driving for Door Dash and know heâs on a Celtics roster pic.twitter.com/GBRk9ya2rQ— ðð¨ððð ð¸. ðð¦ððð¤ (@KwaniALunis) July 12, 2022
"It's pretty emotional, it's been a crazy 11 months. I was home for a year and a half," Ryan told reporters after the game, via NBC10's Kwani Lunis.
"I don't know if you guys heard my story, but I was driving Door Dash a year ago. To be here, to be a part of the Boston Celtics is special. It's special."
The Summer League Celtics will be back in action Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors at 9 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Boston. | https://sports.yahoo.com/matt-ryan-hits-game-winner-122800042.html?src=rss | 2022-07-12T13:13:13Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/matt-ryan-hits-game-winner-122800042.html?src=rss | true | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic National Committee is launching a digital ad campaign to energize its voters after last month’s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, warning that Republicans’ ultimate goal is to outlaw abortion nationwide.
The committee is sponsoring an at least $10,000 ad buy beginning Tuesday on the websites of more than 20 lifestyle publications, including Teen Vogue, Refinery29, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Essence, GQ, Men’s Health and Esquire.
The ads feature a picture of Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell alongside pink, white and blue text that says: “Republicans are pushing to ban abortion nationally. Join us in fighting back."
The cost is modest for a national campaign — especially when activists have accused President Joe Biden and other top Democrats of failing to respond forcefully enough to the Supreme Court's decision. Still, Democrats are betting outrage over the high court's action can fire up their base ahead of the midterm elections, while inflation is at record highs and Biden's approval ratings sag.

The DNC says it also plans to launch a separate, six-figure television ad campaign encouraging activism to defend abortion rights later this week across a dozen media markets in battleground areas.
Many top Republicans, meanwhile, are eager to lean into the fight against abortion rights, seeing the overturning of Roe as a promise they kept to voters.
Since the Supreme Court nullified Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized the right to an abortion, in a ruling June 24, many Republican-led states have rushed to enact broad restrictions on the procedure. No federal legislation outlawing it exists, and getting such a bill through Congress would likely be difficult — but McConnell suggested even before the Supreme Court's ruling that a future nationwide ban was “possible."
Former Vice President Mike Pence said after the ruling that "we must not rest and must not relent until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of American law in every state in the land.”
The DNC's digital ads are promoting what it is calling a “week of action” devoted to defending abortion rights.
“With this Defend Choice Week of Action, we’re giving people across the country a chance to turn their anger into action by holding anti-choice Republicans accountable and helping to elect Democrats," DNC chair Jaime Harrison said in a statement.
The digital ads, and the television campaign beginning later this week, are also helping publicize DefendChoice.org, a website the various Democratic campaign arms created after the Supreme Court ruling.
The DNC says the site connects grassroots activists with the party's existing national infrastructure, and it notes that its volunteers made 23,000-plus calls in the weekend following the ruling — its most active weekend since last November's election. The committee says even before the ruling, it held briefings for state parties, elected officials and campaign staff to share research and messaging ideas compiled on the national level.
Tuesday’s digital ad buy and the upcoming TV buy follow a five-figure digital campaign launched June 29 in which the DNC proclaimed that Republicans “want to go further and ban abortion. Believe them.”

Evans Kidero’s Nairobi struggles
Lessons from the past could perhaps be of great help to millions of Nairobians as they prepare to elect their fourth governor in the August 2022 polls.
The lessons drawback to 2013 when Evans Kidero was overwhelmingly elected the capital city’s first governor.
Before trouncing Ferdinand Waititu, his nearest challenger by 692, 483 votes to 617, 839, Kidero had risen from humble beginnings to one of the most admired Chief Executives on the Kenyan corporate scene.
He was elected amid a myriad of promises, including to transform Nairobi into the cleanest city in Africa.
Before joining politics, the son-in-law of Independence politician Tom Mboya worked as the Chief Executive of Mumias Sugar Company for eight years.
While addressing his first sitting of the Nairobi County Assembly, he vowed to address traffic congestion in the city by expanding the road network and introducing a mass transit rapid transport system.
Other promises included promoting non-motorized transport, ensuring the availability of parking lots at new developments, encouraging multi-level civic parking in the city centre, and enhancing the ongoing efforts to create a comfortable pedestrian culture in Nairobi.
Kidero also pledged to improve the city’s health, sanitation, education, and security.
He also promised to rehabilitate the over 60 dilapidated health facilities such as the Pumwani Maternity Hospital, which has existed since 1944.
In his first month in office, he fired 11 people for delivering fictitious invoices for nonexistent goods and suspended 16 members of his staff on suspicion of corruption.
In September 2013, the governor increased parking fees in the city, leading to a matatu strike.
That was the first of the many strikes Nairobians witnessed under his leadership.
Kidero also unsuccessfully tried to get boda boda riders out of Nairobi’s central business district.
Then the challenges persisted with persistant strikes from county workers owing to unpaid salaries and disregard of a collective bargaining agreement.
A no-nonsense, strict, and sometimes temperamental guy, was never short of controversy.
In September 2013, drama unfolded at City Hall after he allegedly slapped then Women Representative Rachel Shebesh during a heated verbal exchange outside his office.
Shebesh, known for her aggressive style, had confronted Kidero over the ongoing county employees’ strike, which has paralysed operations, over unpaid salaries.
It later emerged that the former governor paid Shebesh Sh30 million after they agreed to settle the matter out of court.
In 2017, Kidero lost the governor seat to Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko.
His political loss marked the beginning of many arrests and lengthy stays in police cells, away from his lavish homes in Muthaiga and Kisumu.
Kidero was dragged to court to battle charges of abuse of office, money laundering, and bribery, among others.
He is eyeing a political comeback with sights trained on the Homabay gubernatorial seat in the August 2022 polls. | https://nairobinews.nation.africa/evans-kideros-nairobi-struggles/ | 2022-07-12T13:17:21Z | https://nairobinews.nation.africa/evans-kideros-nairobi-struggles/ | false | 1 |

Manchester United will be taking on Liverpool in a pre-season friendly today (July 12) as part of United’s tour of Thailand.
But Cristiano Ronaldo won’t be taking to the pitch as he sits out on United’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to "personal issues”. His absence comes with the striker is wanting to leave United.
But the club's manager has made it clear that he’s still a part of their plans for next season. Asked whether Ronaldo wants to leave earlier this week, Erik ten Hag said: "He hasn't told me this.
“I have read, but as I say, Cristiano is not for sale, he's in our plans and we want to get success together."
If he does bid the Red Devils goodbye, he could be taking a hefty pay cut. Here’s what he’s earned in 2022 so far.
How much does Ronaldo earn at Manchester United?
It’s believed that Ronaldo earns an eye-watering £385,000 a week at Manchester United and he’s the highest-paid player in the squad.
It’s certainly a hefty sum but it was reported that he actually agreed to take a £6million pay cut to join the Red Devils.
According to the Mail on Sunday, Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes slashed the football star's wage demands to £20million a year to secure a move before the transfer deadline.
It’s believed that Ronaldo was earning £500,000 a week at Juventus, which equates to £26million a year.
Now, he could be set to take another pay cut to secure his Man United exit.
He could struggle to secure a contract with another team because of the hefty price tag that comes with him so may need to lower his wage demands again.
If he stays with United it’s likely that he’ll still earn less next season because he won't be playing in the Champions League.
How much does Ronaldo earn from sponsorship deals?
As well as his massive Man United salary, Ronaldo has also been raking in money through his huge sponsorship deals.
In 2016 Ronaldo signed a lifetime deal with Nike after partnering with the sports brand in 2003. According to Der Spiegel’s Football Leaks he earns around £14.7million a year from the deal.
Ronaldo has been a brand ambassador for Herbalife since 2013 and in 2018 had his contract renewed for three years.
He also has ongoing sponsorship deals with Clear Shampoo, LiveScore, DAZN, MTG, Altice Portugal, Garena Free Fire, American Tourister and TAG Heuer.
His latest endorsement is for cryptocurrency company Binance, who he has agreed to launch a series of NFT collections for.
How much money has Ronaldo made in 2022?
Going by his rumoured weekly Man United wage of £385,000, Ronaldo has already raked in £10.3million so far this year.
But according to Forbes, Ronaldo’s 2022 salary could be much higher; they’ve got his on-field earnings for this year as £50million, taking into account his salary and winnings.
His salary has also been topped up by his lucrative sponsorship deals and his income streams from his own companies, including CR7 Hotels, CR7 Denim, a private jet rental business and a hair transplant clinic.
According to Forbes, Ronaldo is set to earn a further £45million from endorsements.
Forbes’ revered sporting rich list 2022 reveals that he’s currently the third highest-earning athlete, behind Lionel Messi and LeBron James.
The publication claims that in 2022 Ronaldo will rake in a massive £95million.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Jan. 6 committee is preparing to highlight the way violent far-right extremists answered Donald Trump's "siren call" to come to Washington for a big rally, as some now face rare sedition charges over the deadly U.S. Capitol attack and effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Watch live: House Jan. 6 committee hearing July 12
The panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol siege is set to convene Tuesday for a public hearing probing what it calls the final phase of Trump's multi-pronged effort to halt Joe Biden's victory. As dozens of lawsuits and false claims of voter fraud fizzled, Trump tweeted the rally invitation, a pivotal moment, the committee said. The far-right Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and others now facing criminal charges readily answered.
"We will lay out the body of evidence that we have that talks about how the president's tweet on the wee hours of December 19th of 'Be there, be wild,' was a siren call to these folks," said one panel member, Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., over the weekend on "Meet the Press." In fact, Trump tweeted, "Be there, will be wild!"
This is the seventh hearing in a series that has presented numerous blockbuster revelations from the Jan. 6 committee. Over the past month, the panel has created a stark narrative of a defeated Trump "detached from reality," clinging to his false claims of voter fraud and working feverishly to reverse his election defeat. It all culminated with the deadly attack on the Capitol, the committee said.
What the committee intends to probe Tuesday is whether the extremist groups, including the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and QAnon adherents who had rallied for Trump before, coordinated with White House allies for Jan. 6. The Oath Keepers have denied there was any plan to storm the Capitol.
The panel is also expected to highlight new testimony from Pat Cipollone, the former White House counsel, who "was aware of every major move" Trump was making, said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who will lead the session.
It's the only hearing set for this week, as new details emerge. An expected prime-time hearing Thursday has been shelved for now.
This week's session comes after former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson provided stunning accounts under oath of an angry Trump who knowingly sent armed supporters to the Capitol on Jan. 6 and then refused to quickly call them off as violence erupted, siding with the rioters as they searched menacingly for Vice President Mike Pence.
Trump has said Cassidy's account is not true. But Cipollone at Friday's private session did not contradict earlier testimony. Raskin said the panel planned to use "a lot" of Cipollone's testimony.
The panel is expected to highlight a meeting on Dec. 18, 2020, at the White House in which former Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, one-time Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and others floated ideas for overturning the election results, Raskin told CBS over the weekend.
This was days after the Electoral College had met on Dec. 14 to certify the results for Biden — a time time when other key Republicans were announcing that the election and its challenges were over.
On Dec. 19, Trump would send the tweet beckoning supporters to Washington for the Jan. 6 rally, the day Congress was set to certify the Electoral College count: "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"
The Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, extremist far-right groups whose leaders and others are now facing rare sedition charges for their roles in the attack, prepared to come to Washington, according to court filings.
On Dec. 29, the Proud Boys chairman posted a message on social media that said members planned to "turn out in record numbers on Jan. 6th," according to a federal indictment.
The group planned to meet at the Washington Monument, its members instructed not to wear its traditional black and yellow colors, but be "incognito."
The Proud Boys have contended that membership grew after Trump, during his first debate with Biden, refused to outright condemn the group but instead told them to "stand back and stand by."
The night before Jan. 6, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio met with Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes at an underground parking garage, according to court filings along with images a documentary filmmaker trailing the group provided to the panel.
The Oath Keepers had also been organizing for Jan. 6 and established a "quick response force" at a nearby hotel in Virginia, according to court filings.
After the Capitol siege, Rhodes called someone with an urgent message for Trump, another group member has said. Rhodes was denied an chance to speak to Trump, but urged the person on the phone to tell the Republican president to call upon militia groups to fight to keep the president in power.
An attorney for Rhodes recently told the committee that their client wants to testify publicly. Rhodes was already interviewed by the committee privately, and it's unlikely the panel will agree.
The panel also intends to discuss the way many of the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 appeared to be QAnon believers. Federal authorities have explicitly linked at least 38 rioters to the pro-Trump conspiracy theory, according to an Associated Press review of court records.
One of the most recognizable figures from the Jan. 6 attack was a shirtless Arizona man who called himself the "QAnon Shaman," carried a spear and wore face paint and a Viking hat with fur and horns.
A core belief among QAnon followers is that Trump was secretly fighting a cabal of deep state operatives, prominent Democrats and Hollywood elites who worship Satan and engage in sex trafficking of children.
The panel has shown, over the course of fast-paced hearings and with eyewitness accounts from the former president's inner circle, how Trump was told "over and over" again, as Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said, that he had lost the election and his false claims of voter fraud were just not true. Nevertheless, Trump summoned his supporters to Washington and then sent them to the Capitol in what Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., has called an "attempted coup."

EXCLUSIVE: 'The helplessness was overwhelming': Cheryl reflects on Sarah Harding revealing her cancer was terminal as she pledges to honour late star with Girls Aloud charity walk
Cheryl has confessed her feeling of 'helplessness was extremely overwhelming' when her Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding disclosed that her cancer couldn't be cured, before her tragic death in September 2021 aged 39.
Speaking with MailOnline to encourage people to sign up for the Race For Life for Sarah on July 24th, the 'devastated' singer, 39, revealed: 'I asked her so much to give me something I could do to make her happy or comfortable, anything at all.
'Towards the end, she asked me to create a gala in her honour to fund a crucial study that her doctor was working on so I am committed to doing just that.'
'The helplessness was overwhelming': Cheryl has reflected on Sarah Harding revealing her cancer was terminal as she pledges to honour late star with Girls Aloud charity walk
Nadine Coyle, who completes the group with Nicola Roberts and Kimblerley Walsh, added: 'She talked to us all about this several times.
'Sarah felt really passionately about wanting to help other people in the same situation as her, or who could be at risk of finding themselves in the same situation she was in.
'She really wanted to do some fundraising herself, but sadly just wasn’t well enough, so we promised her we would do it for her.
'She’d have loved the Race For Life – she’d have loved to have been involved. We know for sure she will be there with us in spirit on July 24in Hyde Park.'
Remembered: Her bandmate Sarah Harding tragically passed away in September 2021 from breast cancer, aged 39
Kimberley said: 'She talked to us about this when we were all together and individually. We all want to be as proactive as possible to help raise as much money in her name as we can. We promised her we would.'
Nicola claimed the girls would have raised funds for breast cancer even if Sarah hadn't asked them, as it will help their many fans who are 'in the same fight she was in'.
Ever the busy-bee, Nadine is planning to walk the race but said she'll be 'shooting straight off' for a headlining gig afterwards - which she may need to run to!
Good cause: The singer, 40, will reunite with Girls Aloud for a Cancer Research UK fundraising campaign next month to honour their friend (L-R: Kimberley, Nicola Roberts, Sarah, Cheryl and Nadine Coyle in 2012)
Nicola said: 'I work out a lot with 5k runs being my go to at the gym. So I would like to run it but I know Cheryl and Nadine want to walk so unless I go ahead and meet them at the finish line I might have to keep at their pace!'
Kimberley will be abroad on a pre-booked holiday for her mum Diane's 70th birthday but has vowed to FaceTime her fellow BRIT Award winners while taking part virtually.
Cheryl, however, confessed she doesn't think she's run much in her life 'full stop'. saying: 'My body doesn’t like running.'
She added: 'I will definitely be walking. I am always walking my dog, I'm used to it. I will be cheering for those who choose to run.'
Charity: The walk will take place on July 24 in London's Hyde Park, with the girls encouraging fans to join the team and be part of a special tribute to Sarah
Nicola and Kimberley also haven't taken part in a 'big charity race', but Nadine said she did get involved with one 'many many years ago'.
When asked why it was important for The Promise hitmakers to come together for the race, Cheryl said: 'Sarah was such an integral part of us all.
'It is the most natural thing to do for Sarah and her legacy to come together in support of her and others who may be going through the same devastation we experienced.'
Friend: Cheryl revealed: 'I asked her so much to give me something I could do to make her happy or comfortable, anything at all' (pictured, right, with Sarah, left, in 2008)
Nadine added: 'When we were asked if we’d like to do this we all said yes straight away. I think it’s such a crucial cause and we’d like to do all we can to help.'
Kimberley chimed in: 'When Sarah was sick we all felt so helpless. I think she’d be really happy we’re all doing this.'
She continued: 'Sarah wanted us to raise money for the Christie Hospital where she was treated.
'Beyond that we’ll always do what we can to help raise money and awareness for cancer and breast cancer awareness.'
Happy times: Kimberley will be abroad on a pre-booked holiday but has vowed to FaceTime her fellow BRIT Award winners while taking part virtually (pictured, left, with Sarah, right, in 2009)
Meanwhile, Girls Aloud are planning other fundraising activities in 2022, culminating in a huge gala dinner in the next few months, with more details coming soon.
Cheryl explained: 'We have a gala dinner planned for later this year in Sarah’s honour and at her request. We will be collaborating with Cancer Research UK to raise funding and awareness.'
Nicola detailed how they've been 'asking big companies to put their hands in their pockets' in order to support the crucial cause.
She said: 'I’m happy with what we have planned and feel we’ve successfully set out to do what we wanted in making everyone feel included but make a big monetary difference for the charities.'
Sarah found fame in 2002 when she won a place on Popstars: The Rivals with the band and took the UK by storm soon after.
She 'slipped away peacefully' in September 2021 after 'fighting so strongly from her diagnosis until her last day', her mum Marie wrote on Instagram at the time.

[AP] — Our view of the universe just expanded: The first image from NASA’s new space telescope unveiled Monday is brimming with galaxies and offers the deepest look of the cosmos ever captured.
The first image from the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope is the farthest humanity has ever seen in both time and distance, closer to the dawn of time and the edge of the universe. That image will be followed Tuesday by the release of four more galactic beauty shots from the telescope’s initial outward gazes, The Associated Press reported.
RELATED STORY: NASA shares teaser for Webb telescope’s first image release
The “deep field” image released during a brief White House event is filled with lots of stars, with massive galaxies in the foreground and faint and extremely distant galaxies peeking through here and there. Part of the image is light from not too long after the Big Bang, which was 13.8 billion years ago.
The busy image with hundreds of specks, streaks, spirals and swirls of white, yellow, orange, and red is only “one little speck of the universe,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said.
“What we saw today is the early universe,” Harvard astronomer Dimitar Sasselov said in a phone interview after the reveal.
Sasselov said he and his colleague Charles Alcock first thought “we’ve seen this before.” Then they looked closer at the image and pronounced the result not only beautiful but “worth all that waiting” for the much-delayed project, according to AP.
The pictures on tap include a view of a giant gaseous planet outside our solar system, two images of a nebula where stars are born and die in spectacular beauty, and an update of a classic image of five tightly clustered galaxies that dance around each other.
The plan is to use the telescope to peer back so far that scientists will get a glimpse of the early days of the universe about 13.7 billion years ago and zoom in on closer cosmic objects, even our own solar system, with sharper focus.
How far back past 13 billion years did that first image look? NASA didn’t provide any estimate Monday. Outside scientists said those calculations will take time, but they are fairly certain somewhere in the busy image is a galaxy older than humanity has ever seen, probably back to 500 million or 600 million years after the Big Bang, stated AP.
“It takes a little bit of time to dig out those galaxies,” University of California, Santa Cruz, astrophysicist Garth Illingworth said. “It’s the things you almost can’t see here, the tiniest little red dots.”
“This is absolutely spectacular, absolutely amazing,” he added. “This is everything we’ve dreamed of in a telescope like this.”
Webb is considered the successor to the highly successful, but aging Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble has stared as far back as 13.4 billion years. It found the light wave signature of an extremely bright galaxy in 2016. Astronomers measure how far back they look in light-years with one light-year being 5.8 trillion miles.
“Webb can see backwards in time to just after the Big Bang by looking for galaxies that are so far away that the light has taken many billions of years to get from those galaxies to our telescopes,” said Jonathan Gardner, Webb’s deputy project scientist said during a June media briefing.
The deepest view of the cosmos “is not a record that will stand for very long,” project scientist Klaus Pontoppidan said during the briefing since scientists are expected to use the Webb telescope to go even deeper.
At 21 feet, Webb’s gold-plated, flower-shaped mirror is the biggest and most sensitive ever sent into space. It’s comprised of 18 segments, one of which was smacked by a bigger than anticipated micrometeoroid in May. Four previous micrometeoroid strikes to the mirror were smaller. Despite the impacts, the telescope has continued to exceed mission requirements, with barely any data loss, according to NASA. | https://abc-7.com/news/science/space-news/2022/07/12/nasa-space-telescopes-1st-cosmic-view-goes-deep/ | 2022-07-12T13:32:03Z | https://abc-7.com/news/science/space-news/2022/07/12/nasa-space-telescopes-1st-cosmic-view-goes-deep/ | false | 24 |
Successful full-system die-to-wafer transfer at EVG's Heterogeneous Integration Competence Center™ demonstrates important step forward in achieving process maturity
ST. FLORIAN, Austria, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EV Group (EVG), a leading provider of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced it has achieved a major breakthrough in die-to-wafer (D2W) fusion and hybrid bonding by successfully demonstrating 100-percent void-free bonding yield of multiple die of different sizes from a complete 3D system-on-a-chip (SoC) in a single transfer process using EVG's GEMINI®FB automated hybrid bonding system. Such an accomplishment had been a key challenge for D2W bonding until today, as well as a major hurdle to scaling down the cost of implementing heterogeneous integration. This important industry achievement was carried out at EVG's Heterogeneous Integration Competence Center™ (HICC), which is designed to assist customers in leveraging EVG's process solutions and expertise to accelerate the development of new and differentiating products and applications driven by advances in system integration and packaging.
Company executives will be available to discuss this D2W bonding breakthrough at SEMICON West, taking place this week at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif., from July 12-14. Event attendees can visit EVG in the South Hall, Booth #935 to learn more.
Leading-edge applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous driving, augmented/virtual reality and 5G all require the development of high-bandwidth, high-performance and low-power-consumption devices without increasing production cost. As a result, the semiconductor industry is turning to heterogeneous integration – the manufacturing, assembly and packaging of multiple different components or dies with different feature sizes and materials onto a single device or package – in order to increase performance on new device generations. D2W hybrid bonding is a key manufacturing technology for heterogeneous integration. Yet, as the ever-higher bandwidth needs of these devices drive newer packaging technologies, new developments in D2W hybrid bonding and metrology are also needed.
"Hybrid bonding requires substantially different manufacturing technologies to standard packaging processes, bringing it much closer to front-end manufacturing – especially in terms of cleanliness, particle control, alignment and metrology precision," stated Dr. Thomas Uhrmann, business development director at EV Group. "In line with our market leadership for W2W hybrid bonding, we continue to expand our D2W hybrid bonding solutions and optimize our equipment to support critical upstream and downstream processes, such as plasma activation and cleaning, in order to accelerate the deployment and maturity of D2W hybrid bonding. Between our established GEMINI FB, which has been configured for collective D2W integration flows and serving the needs for D2W bonding for several years already, the EVG®320 D2W die preparation and activation system for direct placement D2W bonding, which provides a direct interface with D2W bonders, and the EVG®40 NT2 overlay metrology system, which uses AI, feed-forward and feedback loops to further increase hybrid bonding yields, EVG provides a complete end-to-end hybrid bonding solution to accelerate the deployment of 3D/heterogeneous integration."
Since the interface in hybrid bonding is solid-state, with embedded metal pads to allow for face-to-face electrical connection of wafers and dies, D2W hybrid bonding requires similar tight cleanliness standards and manufacturing tolerances seen in front-end semiconductor manufacturing processes. This trend is also moving high-precision metrology into a more central role in controlling hybrid bonding alignment and process yield, which in turn is driving the integration of D2W bonding and metrology processes into one process line.
In addition, several different D2W hybrid bonding process flows are under evaluation today, each with unique advantages and requirements. Since its establishment two years ago, EVG's HICC has played a key role in helping customers and partners develop and optimize D2W hybrid bonding processes to address the unique needs of their given device design and application, taking into account various factors such as die size, die thickness, total stack height as well as interface considerations such as contact design and density. The HICC also features a state-of-the-art cleanroom with cleanliness standards on par with many leading-edge semiconductor fabs – enabling EVG to uniquely support the stringent requirements for D2W and W2W hybrid bonding process development.
"The HICC has firmly established itself as a preeminent central open-access incubator for novel process solutions such as D2W hybrid and fusion bonding," stated Markus Wimplinger, corporate technology development and IP director at EV Group. "State-of-the-art cleanrooms at EVG's headquarters in Austria, as well as in our subsidiaries in the US and Japan, guarantee that hybrid bonds can be developed with the highest possible yield. At the same time, our world-class development facilities outfitted with our extensive portfolio of fully automated process solutions offers process development that is as agile and close to series production as possible. Our expertise in diverse bonding technologies, as well as process integration and metrology, allows our customers and partners to develop differentiated total solutions that can be easily transferred to their production facilities."

When Paul, my future husband, kissed me for the first time, it was sweet and sexy and sort of salty — the way a kiss by the ocean should be if you had thought to imagine it that way.
We made a date to kiss the next day, which didn't come soon enough. We met again and again after that. We spent hours hunched over pitchers of beer or tall iced coffees, our ankles intertwined, our eyes locked, our faces just inches apart.
Quickly, without thought or deliberation, we traded coffee shops and sports bars for his studio apartment. Our tussles were movie-star sexy. Sometimes, we'd pop a button off a shirt in our hungry dash to undress.
We Moved Quickly From Love To Lust
Paul and I tumbled through lust, and then into deep love. For us, there was nothing more than each other — our jobs, families, friends, and personal interests were steamrolled by an overpowering desire to consume each other entirely.
We tapped every form of communication to express our passion, filling our days with a barrage of mushy emails, text messages, and phone calls. If had the means, we would've hired a pilot to etch "I WANT YOU" in the sky.
RELATED: 7 Sweet Ways To Make Your Wife Feel Like The Luckiest Woman Ever
Back then, my heart beat fast every day, triggered by the sound of Paul's voice or a glimpse of his name in my inbox. And I couldn't imagine how it would ever slow down. But two-and-a-half years later and six months into the marriage, things are different.
Our Love Isn't The Same
Though we're still young — both 32 — sex is no longer the driving force in our relationship, and the love letters have all but stopped. Sometimes, it seems as if the grand task of making a life together is more important than keeping the fires burning. And there are days when I wonder if we'll end up like our parents, who divorced when they were in their thirties.
But most of the time, I feel certain that our deep feeling for each other will persevere, carrying us to retirement and beyond.
What IS Love, Though?
Before I place bets on the longevity of my romance, I have to ask: What, exactly, is this thing called love? So far, I've come to learn that as quickly as it strikes, it can also vanish — poof! — leaving nothing more than a lingering heartache. And it’s clear that love's reach is vast.
Most of us are looking for it, trying to maintain it, or working to get over it. But where does it come from? Where does it go? And can it last forever?

What The Experts Say
Helen Fisher, Ph.D., an anthropologist, and a Rutgers University professor, has made the chemistry of love her life's work. According to her, I'm right on schedule. She says the first stage of romance — the one with all the kissing and love letters — can last anywhere from one to three years. Would I have appreciated our giddy phase just a little bit more had I known it was going to end?
Is It Too Much?
While Paul and I are phasing out of the excitement of new love, Sona Mody, 26, and Carl Bartsch, 29, are just getting started. The couple met at the birthday party of a mutual friend, and have been inseparable ever since. As a medical student, Mody doesn't have much free time and wasn't looking for a relationship. But her connection with Bartsch was too strong to ignore.
After three months together, Mody says, "I feel overwhelmed by how much I care about him. We said we loved each other a month in." Though Mody has had serious relationships in the past, she says this one is different. "It's a new feeling, a satisfying feeling. You go to bed content every night. It’s really inspiring."
The Science Behind Love
Falling for each other, as it turns out, is just as much physical as it is emotional. New lovers "get a real surge of dopamine in their brains—in the same area that feels the effects of cocaine and that makes us reach for chocolate," Fisher says.
They may also experience a rush of norepinephrine, the chemical that causes the heart to pound and the palms to sweat, she adds.
"Infatuation is a state created by nature to get us to meet, mate, and procreate," says Pat Love, a relationship therapist and author of The Truth About Love: The Highs, the Lows and How You Can Make it Last Forever. "It's an altered state. Your brain wants you to pay attention so it gives you pleasure. You’re just flooded with dopamine."

Once in love, our hearts and brains are working overtime. But what draws us to a person in the first place? Abigail Goodman*, a single magazine editor in New York City, has noticed a strong shift in what attracts her to a certain man.
Throughout her twenties she bounced from short relationship to short relationship, always pulled towards a specific type: Tall and dark, with a big personality. "I used to be attracted to the guy who could hold the room, tell the jokes, command the dinner table," she says.
Now 33, Goodman is no longer dating casually and hopes to find someone with whom she can settle down and start a family. And she understands that he may not be the one she originally imagined. "These days I'm much more drawn to the quiet observer type," she says. "It took dating a couple of those [extroverted] people to realize that they’re usually making up for something else."
We're Attracted To People Like Us — Naturally
According to Fisher, like attracts like. "People tend to fall in love with someone of the same ethnicity, age, socioeconomic background, intellectual ability, level of attractiveness, and religious values," she explains. But subtle factors also affect who we choose as our mate.
"I think we are unconsciously attracted to people who are chemically unlike us," she explains. "For example, a person who is high in dopamine is also curious, creative, and outgoing. That person is more likely to fall for someone who is high in testosterone, who is more likely to be conscientious, a scheduler, and a planner. This creates more variety in babies and brings a greater array of parenting skills to the family."
Finding your chemical opposite happens naturally, Fisher says, so no need to put it on your soul mate checklist. "When you walk into a room, you immediately weed out the ones who don’t look right, who are wearing the wrong clothes, etc.," she explains. "You then talk to those remaining and learn about their values, interests, and background and make the next cut. But in the end, you are attracted to someone because of their chemistry."
What About Second Chances?
But even great chemistry doesn't always yield a successful relationship. Martina Russo*, 41, was married for five years before she and her husband separated. Though the split was challenging, she was eager to try again and feels that the lessons she learned from her first marriage have helped her navigate her next relationship successfully.
After four years of being single, Russo remarried last year. "I am much more respectful of my current husband’s feelings," she says. "With my ex, I was quick to place blame and was not at all interested in how he got into his various messes. Now, I’m much more respectful. I know that I have to figure out a way to honor my spouse’s desires even if they're different than mine."
Second chances like Russo's aren't uncommon. "We can love more than one person, just the way we can love more than one child or more than one friend," says Pat Love. "The key is knowing that infatuation isn't love. If you’re expecting to stay on that high without having to put forth the effort, you’re going to go through that revolving door throughout your life."

Divorce Usually Happens Under The Five-Year Mark
But sometimes, divorce may be unavoidable.
Over a period of 45 years, Fisher conducted a worldwide study of divorce in 58 societies.
"If you’re going to break up, it’s usually around the fourth year of marriage," she says. From an evolutionary perspective, "That's how long a couple had to stay together to raise a child through infancy."

I Didn't Want To Be A Statistic
With my entire married life looming ahead of me, I strive to avoid that revolving door, break my familial cycle of divorce, and commit, with all my might, to the promises I made at the altar.
So I tend to listen especially hard to anyone who has a successful marriage. Susan and Rich Novie, who live in New Jersey, are nuptial superstars. They have been married for 40 years, and they still like each other. A lot. Susan attributes their healthy relationship to a number of factors: Flexibility, a strong sense of humor, and a willingness to do things both together and apart. But ultimately, she says, it's about a commitment to sharing a life with someone.
"We look at marriage like a team," she explains. "You go out there and face the world together. You fight battles, winning some and losing some. But through it all, you never split up the team."
At 60 and 61 respectively, Susan and Rich don't feel the zing of young love. But their romance continues to grow as they transition into the later stages of their lives. "It's more like a comfortable love," Susan explains. "Sometimes you'll get a mini-tingle. But this love is more like a familiar easy chair. It feels good. You sit on it and you know what you've got."
The Key To Long-Term Love
In a long-term relationship like the Novies', Fisher explains, "Romantic love comes and goes, but the predominant feeling that remains is one of deep attachment. Romance may be rekindled when the couple does something novel together, like go on vacation." Pat Love attributes a successful marriage to the commitment both parties make not only "to the relationship, but also to the institution of marriage."
And though sexual attraction may seem to play no part in a very long-term relationship, some believe it’s always there. "The lust state becomes more a quality of being than an intense figure in the relationship," says Michael Eigen, a psychologist and author of Lust. "There's a world of romantic experience that opens up with just being with another person."
Where I Am Now
Today, as I rest somewhere between the dopamine-infused excitement of new romance and the familiar easy chair of a mature relationship, I remind myself that one stage is not better than the other.
Sure, I sometimes miss the fierce pulse of our courtship (although Paul and I still pop a button now and again). But I wouldn't trade the comfortable current of support that flows within our two-person family. I wouldn’t give up the satisfaction of truly knowing someone and letting someone know me. And I wouldn't let go of the big plans we have for our future.
"We know how to court, how to get married, how to be newlyweds," says Love. "But the next step is learning how to be a couple when you’re not experiencing the thrill of the chase. Couples that have been together a long time will tell you that infatuation pales in comparison to long-term love."

Crumbl Cookies, a nationwide chain offering homemade cookies for purchase and delivery, is suing two of its competitors, saying that their marketing is “confusingly similar” to Crumbl’s.
The company filed lawsuits against Crave Cookies and Dirty Dough, saying that the smaller businesses are trying to profit off of Crumbl’s reputation, KSL-TV reported. The lawsuit says Crave and Dirty Dough’s logos and packaging are very similar to Crumbl’s.
In the lawsuit against Crave, Crumbl alleges that Crave’s founder had applied to become a Crumbl franchisee in 2019 but was denied.
The lawsuit against Dirty Dough alleges that that company’s founder was working as a process engineer for Crumbl when he started the business. Dirty Dough told KSL-TV that the company was started in 2018, not 2019, and that the person associated with Crumbl was not involved in the founding of the company.
Crumbl Cookies, which is based in Utah, currently has seven Massachusetts locations, in Attleboro, Hanover, Medford, Methuen, Millbury, Saugus and Woburn. Crave has three locations in Utah, while Dirty Dough has two locations, one in Utah and one in Arizona.

Operators now have access to Teren data for operational assets and development projects across the U.S.
DENVER, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Teren, the climate resilience analytics company, today announced its expanded Premium 4D Content program for regions across the United States, including the Gulf Coast, Midwest, Rocky Mountains, and West Coast. Teren acquires and processes high-fidelity LiDAR data 10-100x faster than the competition, makes it available via its content library, and delivers analytics with actionable insights to energy and engineering firms.
"Climate change is causing drought, flooding, landslides, and wildfires across the country – significantly impacting asset owners and project developers. As a result, the market demand for high-fidelity, temporal data to identify, prioritize, and monitor climate-related risk is higher than ever," said Toby Kraft, Teren CEO.
Teren is amassing a content library of remotely-sensed 3D (spatial) data across the United States. That data is updated on regular intervals to monitor changes over time providing a unique 4D (temporal) view. This 4D data library feeds analytics that identify risk, inform mitigation, and strengthen asset resilience. While remotely-sensed data has traditionally been sourced on a project-by-project basis, Teren offers its data and analytics as a subscription service. This model drives down the costs for clients and stakeholders, helping to maximize the speed of delivery, return on investment, and data value.
"In our flagship content region, Appalachia, our customers tap into our 4D content library to identify and monitor the terrain and surface conditions surrounding their assets – primarily aiming to identify and mitigate landslides before they become catastrophic incidents," said Kraft. "We're expanding the program nationwide to meet the growing demand for terrain monitoring and climate resilience analytics around events such as erosion, flooding, wildfire, and more."
Teren's solution saved clients in Appalachia an estimated $152 million annually – preventing 24 failures per year due to landslides and saving roughly 15 B cubic feet per day of natural gas from leaking. While landslides are not as pervasive across the United States, companies can apply the data and analytics suite for the following:
- Gulf Coast – Inundation, subsidence, land movement
- Midwest – Erosion, flooding, subsidence
- Rock Mountains – Landslides, flooding, wildfire
- West Coast – Wildfires, land movement, flooding
Traditionally used by the energy sector, Teren's data has also proven to be highly valuable to state and federal agencies, insurers, and civil engineers. Teren expects to see increased variability across clients and use cases as the content region expands.
"Teren's highly accurate terrain data and climate resilience analytics provide developers and operators with critical insights at unmatched speed and cost-efficiencies," Kraft added.

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF (Symbol: IFRA), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $42.46 per unit.
With IFRA trading at a recent price near $34.01 per unit, that means that analysts see 24.84% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of IFRA's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Luxfer Holdings plc (Symbol: LXFR), West Fraser Timber Co Ltd (Symbol: WFG), and Primoris Services Corp (Symbol: PRIM). Although LXFR has traded at a recent price of $15.34/share, the average analyst target is 82.53% higher at $28.00/share. Similarly, WFG has 57.28% upside from the recent share price of $81.08 if the average analyst target price of $127.52/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting PRIM to reach a target price of $33.00/share, which is 52.14% above the recent price of $21.69. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of LXFR, WFG, and PRIM:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

While on a student placement as a medical laboratory technician in Barrie, Ont., 33-year-old Inuk Muckpaloo Ipeelie felt invisible.
“I was removed from my Indigenous peers and support system and placed in a very Western health sciences field where I didn’t feel supported,” says Ms. Ipeelie of the placement, which she completed last year. “There was a lack of Indigenous knowledge and ways of thinking.”
Ms. Ipeelie says this dearth of Indigenous knowledge permeated her entire three-year program – the course discussed a lack of resources for Indigenous communities but didn’t mention cultural awareness and issues such as residential schools, racism, youth suicide and substance abuse.
So, in January 2022, Ms. Ipeelie created the Urban Inuit Identity Project (UIIP), a consulting company which aims to educate health care workers about Indigenous culture and provide culturally safe care. UIIP’s goals align with recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which include education to improve health care for Indigenous and Inuit peoples.
Ms. Ipeelie says an important driver that gave her the confidence to launch her organization was her involvement with a charitable organization called Elephant Thoughts and its co-creator, Lisa Farano. Ms. Ipeelie first connected with Elephant Thoughts several years ago, attending multiple Indigenous events and finding a business mentor through the organization.
“Elephant Thoughts taught me that if given the opportunity, Indigenous people will gather and that there are Indigenous funds out there,” she says. “They wanted me to succeed.”
Awareness and allyship
Elephant Thoughts began as a global development organization 20 years ago, supporting and building schools in marginalized international communities in places such as Nepal and India. Ms. Farano joined founder Jeremy Rhodes shortly after the organization’s inception.
Now, the Durham, Ont.-based charity works with schools in Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities across Canada, responding to requests from communities and offering support to complement education programs already in place. That might include digital literacy, helping high school students with postsecondary guidance or tutoring in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
In 2021, Ms. Farano received the Order of Ontario for her work as Elephant Thoughts’ co-creator and for building awareness and understanding among non-Indigenous populations about issues facing Indigenous peoples, while offering academic support to Indigenous communities throughout Canada. Ms. Farano sees herself as an ally in helping Canadians work toward truth and reconciliation. She is encouraged that the government is finally shedding light on Indigenous issues, but it must begin with truth, she adds.
“In school we were duped a little,” says Ms. Farano. “We didn’t learn the real facts about what happened. I feel it’s our responsibility to know the truth and to understand.”
If we can be more accepting of cross-cultural differences and experience, it benefits us all, she says.
“It’s a privilege to be welcomed into communities because of the reputation we’ve built and the relationship we’ve built has taken years, and that comes with delivering on promises when you [make] them,” she says. (That includes having Indigenous employees and Indigenous individuals on Elephant Thoughts’ board of directors.)
For the past eight years, Elephant Thoughts has been working on an Indigenous awareness campaign teaching non-Indigenous people about Indigenous culture, which goes hand in hand with their recently-acquired youth camps – Riverstone Retreat in Durham and The Woods at Kimbercote based in Kimberley, Ont.
“The camps focus on cross-cultural programing that brings Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth together, including Syrian youth for example,” she says. “We all learn from each other because there are so many cultural nuances that are different and similar.”
And while career-building skills is a key goal for Elephant Thoughts, understanding and respecting those cultural nuances is essential. “We work with youth who are dealing with intergenerational trauma,” says Ms. Farano. “We help them gain skills and confidence to make better lives and make better choices with their lives.”
Sharing cultures
Elephant Thoughts came along at the right time for 23-year-old Tyanne Murdock, whose life was veering down a difficult path not too long ago.
Removed from her mother, who was a victim of residential schools, Ms. Murdock grew up in a white foster home in Winnipeg. At Sunday school, she was forbidden to speak about her family and culture.
“I grew up with my Indigenous sister and brother, but we had to learn a different way and it held us back,” she says.
Depressed and disconnected, she moved to Toronto three years ago. Life started to change when her housing support worker told her about an opportunity: a four-month course from Elephant Thoughts called “Free as a Girl” which taught digital literacy including web design and podcasting.
Even more importantly, Ms. Murdock got the chance to spend time with other Indigenous youth, even attending camp at Riverstone Retreat.
“At first [culture] wasn’t important to me, but I started to go to different ceremonies and after a while I realized, this is actually helping me,” says Ms. Murdock.
Afterwards, she started a placement with HIP (Honouring Indigenous People), a charitable organization which fosters relationships between Rotary clubs and Indigenous communities.
“Non-Indigenous people really appreciate our ways and our traditions and our teachings,” says Ms. Murdock. “I love that we can all share that.”

(The Hill) — The National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) responded on Monday to a much-criticized comment by first lady Jill Biden calling the Latino community “as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio,” saying that the remark was culturally inappropriate.
“We are not tacos,” wrote the NAHJ in a statement criticizing Biden.
“NAHJ encourages Dr. Biden and her speech writing team to take the time in the future to better understand the complexities of our people and communities,” the group added.
Biden made the remark earlier Monday at the 2022 UnidosUS Annual Conference held in Texas, where she spoke on the Hispanic “Quest for Equity.”
In her speech, Biden said that “the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength.”
The NAHJ responded that “using breakfast tacos to try to demonstrate the uniqueness of Latinos in San Antonio demonstrates a lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity to the diversity of Latinos in the region.”
The statement continued: “Our heritage as Latinos is shaped by a variety of diasporas, cultures and food traditions, and should not be reduced to a stereotype.”
A number of conservative figures responded to Biden’s comments, criticizing her speech and claiming that reactions to the remarks would have been stronger if she were on the right of the political spectrum.
“Imagine the regime media meltdown if a conservative called Hispanics ‘breakfast tacos’ like Dr. Jill Biden did at the Latinx Luncheon today. Democringe,” wrote Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
“No wonder Hispanics are fleeing the Democratic Party!” wrote Republican Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.). | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/hispanic-journalists-organization-responds-to-jill-biden-we-are-not-tacos/ | 2022-07-12T13:38:54Z | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/hispanic-journalists-organization-responds-to-jill-biden-we-are-not-tacos/ | true | 21 |

EU gives Croatia final approval to adopt euro currency in 2023
Croatia will become the 20th country to join the eurozone on January 1, 2023.
European Union finance ministers have given Croatia the final approval to adopt the euro single currency on January 1, 2023, replacing the Croatian kuna.
“I would like to congratulate my counterpart, Zdravko Maric, and the whole of Croatia for becoming the 20th country to join the euro area,” Zbynek Stanjura, the finance minister of the Czech Republic, which holds the EU’s rotating presidency, said on Tuesday.
It is the first expansion of the currency bloc in almost eight years just as the euro has dropped to its lowest level against the US dollar in 20 years.
The previous EU country to join the European single-currency area was Lithuania in 2015.
The benefits
In the 27-nation EU, adopting the euro offers economic benefits stemming from deeper financial ties with the currency bloc’s other members and from the European Central Bank’s monetary authority.
The bank plans to raise interest rates for the first time in 11 years this month to tackle record inflation of 8.6 percent.
More tangibly, it means that any of the current eurozone’s 340 million inhabitants who visit Croatia will no longer need to exchange their cash for kuna.
Euro entry also has political rewards because the shared currency is Europe’s most ambitious project to integrate nations, giving them a place in the EU core. That means a seat at the EU’s top decision-making tables.
The changes come as the euro’s exchange rate very briefly touched $1 for the first time in 20 years on Tuesday before immediately recovering.
There are fears that a worsening energy crisis in Europe tied to Russia’s war in Ukraine could send the eurozone economy into a tailspin.
Seven previous enlargements
Created in 1999 among 11 countries, including Germany and France, the euro has gone through seven previous enlargements starting with Greece in 2001.
The appeal of euro membership is reflected by the last three expansions, which brought in Baltic states between 2011 and 2015.
During that period, the eurozone was scrambling to contain a debt crisis that Greece had triggered and that was threatening to break apart the currency alliance.
A combination of European emergency loans to five financially vulnerable member countries and an ECB pledge to do “whatever it takes” to save the euro enabled the currency bloc to weather the turbulence and emerge stronger.
Joining the euro requires a country to meet a set of economic conditions. These relate to low inflation, sound public finances, a stable exchange rate and limited borrowing costs.
Limited implications
Croatia is relatively small and poor, so its euro entry will have limited international economic implications.
The country has a population of about 4 million and per capita wealth that, at 13,460 euros ($13,500) last year, was less than half of the euro-area average.
Nonetheless, against the backdrop of the Russian war in Ukraine and Kyiv’s hasty application for EU membership, Croatia’s imminent adoption of the euro sends a potentially significant political signal.
Croatia was itself at war in the early 1990s during the violent break-up of Yugoslavia. The country applied for EU membership in 2003 and joined the bloc in 2013. That was the last time the EU expanded. | https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/7/12/eu-gives-croatia-final-approval-to-adopt-euro-currency-in-2023 | 2022-07-12T13:42:09Z | https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/7/12/eu-gives-croatia-final-approval-to-adopt-euro-currency-in-2023 | true | 5 |

Walmart has signed a deal with electric vehicle maker Canoo to purchase delivery vehicles as part of the U.S. retailer’s goal to achieve zero emissions by 2040.
Walmart will buy 4,500 EVs from Canoo with the option to purchase up to 10,000 units to boost its online business, the company said in a statement. The financial terms of the deal were, however, not disclosed.
In June, Walmart said it was expanding transportation pilots with the manufacturers of electric, hydrogen and natural gas-powered vehicles, including Cummins Inc and Daimler Truck’s Freightliner.
The retailer in January said it had reserved 5,000 electric delivery vans with General Motors’ commercial EV business BrightDrop.
A large number of companies have been pushing into the growing commercial EV space as governments around the world are pressing companies to slash CO2 emissions.
Companies including FedEx Corp, Amazon, and United Parcel Service have pledged to shift their large delivery fleets to EVs.
The deal announced also includes Canoo’s fully electric Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle (LDV). The EV maker anticipates starting production of the LDVs beginning in Q4, 2022, according to the statement.
“By continuing to expand our last-mile delivery fleet in a sustainable way, we’re able to provide customers and Walmart+ members with even more access to same-day deliveries while keeping costs low,” said David Guggina, senior vice president of innovation and automation at Walmart U.S. | https://www.financialexpress.com/express-mobility/walmart-to-expand-its-delivery-fleet-with-evs-from-canoo/2591582/ | 2022-07-12T13:45:53Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/express-mobility/walmart-to-expand-its-delivery-fleet-with-evs-from-canoo/2591582/ | true | 6 |
While Pittsburgh Steelers’ fans aren’t particularly thrilled with the latest news of a stadium name change from Heinz to Acrisure, Steelers’ Nation overall is a very happy bunch. That’s according to a study conducted by the website Online Betting Guide who ranked Steelers’ fans as third-happiest in the NFL.
They created a “Fan Happiness Score” by using social media as their guy. They viewed the number of followers and likes on Instagram and Twitter combined with Facebook “love to angry” reaction icons to come up with a final number. Pittsburgh finished with a 6.92 overall score, good enough for third place. Here’s the top five.
Fan Happiness Score (NFL)
1. New Orleans Saints: 7.18
2. New England Patriots: 7.10
3. Pittsburgh Steelers: 6.92
3. Baltimore Ravens: 6.92
5. Los Angeles Rams: 6.74
Interesting to see the Steelers tied with the Ravens for third place. The AFC North was well-represented with those two teams in the top five and Cincinnati at #10. New Orleans claims the top spot with New England in second place.
Unfortunately, the website only shows the top ten scores. It’d be far more fun to see who finished last. Jaguars’ fans? Commanders’ fans? Lions’ fans? All strong contenders to be most miserable.
While semi-interesting data, as least for mid-July content, the methodology seems pretty weak, judging fan happiness off Twitter followers and Facebook reaction scores. But it’s difficult to apply hard, tangible data to “happiness” and the site is making do with what it has.
Steelers’ fans may have a tougher time remaining happy in 2022. The organization is starting over at quarterback with a tough schedule and a terrible new stadium name.
Online Betting also compiled “happiness” data for the other major sports. Memphis Grizzlie fans were far and away the happiest group with a 8.53 score. Chicago Bull fans were next at 8.10 with the Miami Heat ranking third at 7.92. The Saints were the only NFL squad to crack the top ten while just one NHL team did too, the Colorado Avalanche at #7. Five NBA organizations made the list, including the Sacramento Kings, who may be more apathetic than actually happy.

- Breakthrough Device Designations are given by the U.S. FDA to expedite the review of technologies that can improve the lives of people with life-threatening or debilitating conditions
- Each year, 2.8 million Americans will fail multiple depression therapies and be diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD)
- With Breakthrough Device Designation, Abbott's deep brain stimulation (DBS) System could become available as a new treatment option sooner for people affected by TRD
ABBOTT PARK, Ill., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Device Designation to investigate the use of its deep brain stimulation (DBS) system in treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a form of major depressive disorder (MDD). Breakthrough Device Designation expedites the review of innovative technologies that can improve the lives of people with life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions.
Abbott's DBS system is a personalized, adjustable therapy that involves implanting thin wires – or leads – into targeted areas of the brain. A pulse generator implanted under the skin in the chest is connected to the leads and produces electrical impulses that can modulate abnormal brain activity. While Abbott's DBS system has traditionally been used to help control symptoms for people with movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, evidence suggests that implanting electrodes in the part of the brain that regulates mood could help reduce symptoms of TRD. Abbott is working with the FDA to develop a plan for evaluating the device's safety and effectiveness for this purpose. One of the added benefits of certain Abbott DBS systems is that they can be used with NeuroSphere™ Virtual Clinic, a first-of-its-kind connected care technology that allows people to communicate with and receive care and therapy adjustments from their doctors remotely and from the comfort of their own home*.
For patients who suffer from TRD, a condition that costs the U.S. approximately $44 billion a year in healthcare, unemployment and lost productivity1, deep brain stimulation has the potential to offer meaningful improvement of depressive symptoms. Currently, physicians have access to a range of treatments for MDD, also called clinical depression, including antidepressant medications and device therapies. Despite this, up to a third of individuals diagnosed with MDD – approximately 2.8 million Americans each year – do not respond even after trying four different antidepressant regimen approaches1,2 resulting in TRD or difficult-to-treat depression. With each failed treatment, the chance of experiencing a decrease in symptoms drops. By the fourth failed treatment, as many as 83% of patients will relapse.2
To qualify for a Breakthrough Device Designation, a device technology must address an unmet need and show that it has the potential to provide for more effective treatment of life-threatening diseases or irreversibly debilitating conditions. The goal of the program is to provide patients and clinicians with timely access to these breakthrough treatments by accelerating their development, assessment and review while maintaining regulatory standards for pre-market approval. With Breakthrough Device Designation, Abbott's DBS system could become available as a new treatment option sooner for people affected by TRD.
"Breakthrough product development always requires bold thinking and collaboration, and Abbott is fully committed to the journey of providing people with new therapeutic options for their treatment-resistant depression," said Pedro Malha, vice president, neuromodulation, Abbott.
Abbott DBS therapy for treatment resistant depression is limited to investigational use only.

Last month, Apple announced that, with its iOS 16 update, it is finally adding built-in keyboard haptics to the iPhone — haptics that will allow you to feel vibrations as you type. Previously, haptics were available for other gestures like typing an incorrect passcode or pressing and holding your screen to reveal content, but not for the keyboard. In other words, the keyboard’s new upgrade, which is powered by Apple’s Taptic Engine technology, will finally give iPhone users an opportunity to access haptics without downloading another piece of third party software.
Keyboard haptics are a good confirmation tool to indicate that what you’re typing is going through. If you’re someone who has to keep their phone silenced during the day, it can be a substitute for keyboard clicks without announcing to the room that you’re typing a text message.
When you download iOS 16 to your iPhone, the keyboard haptics are still disabled. So here are the steps to get it enabled on your device.
- Open Settings on your iPhone
- Tap Sounds & Haptics
- Scroll down and select Keyboard Feedback
- Tap the toggle to enable Haptics
Alongside the option to enable the keyboard haptics, you also have the option to disable the keyboard sounds that are already enabled on your iPhone after you update your device. | https://www.theverge.com/23203631/ios-16-keyboard-haptics-iphone-apple | 2022-07-12T13:50:58Z | https://www.theverge.com/23203631/ios-16-keyboard-haptics-iphone-apple | true | 1 |
Airbnb v rental - the numbers that show the challenge facing locals
- Credit: Denise Bradley
The challenge facing local people wanting to rent a home in one of Norfolk's most popular tourist hotspots has been laid bare - with a snapshot showing 30 times more Airbnb than private rentals available.
The pandemic brought about a rise in staycations which saw many people convert homes which could be used to rent into holiday lets.
In Wells, the discussion around property shortage has long been going on, with the ability to rent a home becoming a real difficulty for many local people.
But as we return to normality, is the tide changing, and are more long-term rentals coming back to the market?
At the time of writing, a search for homes to rent on Rightmove shows no properties in Wells, with just five in a five-mile radius - but over on Airbnb, there are 151 possible stays in houses and flats.
Oliver Harwood, North Norfolk area lettings valuer from Sowerbys said that at the start of the pandemic there was a large amount of Wells properties being converted from long-term rentals into holiday lets, especially to cope with the demand for staycations.
Mr Harwood explained the current situation of rentals in Wells.

“A premium rental is hard to come by and they are so sought after,” he said.
“People will pay over the odds for them as it is so hard to secure a home.
“They also go so quickly, right now, from marketing a property, having viewings, and commencing a sale, it takes around two to three weeks.”
However, he added that he is seeing an increase in property owners looking to convert their homes back to a long-term rental, as European borders are open for holidays.
The discussion around second homes has garnered national attention.
As reported in The Guardian, residents in north Cornwall are asking for compulsory purchases of unoccupied second homes amid a deepening crisis in affordable housing.
One of the group’s members described a scene similar to Wells, with 111 Airbnbs in the area, but the closest place for long-term rentals being seven miles away.
In June, residents in Whitby, North Yorkshire, held a referendum that saw 93pc of residents vote to limit the sale of new builds and additional homes to full-time residents.
However, the vote is not legally binding.
Duncan Baker, North Norfolk MP, said that he would not say whether or not a similar ballot should be held in north Norfolk - but that any measures for dealing with the impact of second homes would have to be tested for their impact on the community.
In our region, it was revealed earlier this month, that more than half of homes in Morston are now either holiday lets or second homes.
Some 52.2pc of homes in the coastal village are not primary residences - an increase from the 47.7pc recorded last year, when 31 of Morston’s 65 homes were mainly used by people who don’t live there full-time.
It means the village has overtaken nearby Salthouse, which last year had 50.3pc second homes and holiday lets, to become north Norfolk's parish with the highest proportion.
The figure was revealed by North Norfolk District Council, ahead of the planned publication of an investigative report looking into the impact of second homes - which is up for discussion at a meeting of the authority’s overview and scrutiny committee on Wednesday, July 20.
Rosemary Dear, from Fakenham, owns a holiday let in Heacham along the sea wall.
Mrs Dear, who is the vice-chair of the Fakenham Choral Society, and her family would visit the let and loved it so much, they told the owners that if it went up for sale, they would snap it up.
The home cannot have permanent residence, and can only be used for seven months of the year, because of its position.
She said if given the chance she would think about converting it into a rental property for a longer time - as she believes it would be less work than managing a holiday home.
However, she believes the pandemic has allowed people to buy into the market in our region, and people will be less likely to walk away.
She said: “The worry is, since the pandemic, more people have sold their homes and brought two properties here, lived in one and let the other, taking away the property from the local people."
“On the coast, there is such a demand for holiday lets during the season, so people who have them are going to stick with them and it makes sense."
Homes for Wells is continuing its work to tackle the concerning housing problem in the coastal town.
Karen Clarke, fundraiser and financial administrator for the charity, said the large amount of Airbnbs is a real issue for the group.
“The situation for us seems to be worsening - there are less and less private property rentals and when they are available they are up for an extortionate price,” she said.
“Recently we have rehomed two families who were asked to leave because their landlords wanted to convert the rental homes into holiday lets - it seems to be happening more and more.” | https://www.fakenhamtimes.co.uk/news/housing/airbnb-wells-and-rental-homes-9115404 | 2022-07-12T13:52:02Z | https://www.fakenhamtimes.co.uk/news/housing/airbnb-wells-and-rental-homes-9115404 | true | 1 |
In 2010, Louis Oosthuizen won the only major of his career at the Open Championship at St. Andrews after missing the cut in his previous event. Oosthuizen was an incredible 150-1 long shot that year despite having picked up a win at the Open de Andalucia de Golf on the European Tour earlier that season. Oosthuizen returns to the Old Course at St. Andrews on Thursday with a much healthier 40-1 shot to win in the latest 2022 Open Championship odds at Caesars Sportsbook, but is he worth including in your 2022 British Open best bets?
Oosthuizen had been drifting through subpar performances on the PGA Tour this season prior to joining LIV Golf, where he has since taken two top-10 finishes from his first two events. Can he keep up his high level of play and challenge 2022 Open Championship contenders like Rory McIlroy (9-1), Xander Schauffele (14-1) or Jon Rahm (14-1)? Before locking in your 2022 Open Championship picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to see the PGA Tour predictions and betting advice from SportsLine's proven golf model.
SportsLine's proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, it's up over $9,500 on its best bets since that point, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure's model included Thomas in its best bets to win the 2022 PGA Championship. That bet hit at +1600, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned almost $800. At the 2022 Masters, McClure's model was all over Scheffler's first career major championship victory heading into the weekend.
In addition, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was a massive 40-1 long shot. The model was also all over Rahm's (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner.
This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2022 British Open golf tournament is approaching, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2022 Open Championship predictions
One huge shocker the model is calling for at the Open Championship 2022: Rory McIlroy, the 2022 British Open favorite at 9-1, falls short of winning it all and barely finishes inside the top three. The 31-year old Northern Irishman has 35 combined wins on the PGA and European Tours and three major championships. He won the Open Championship in 2014 and finished third when it was held at St. Andrews in 2010.
He's been contending in majors on a regular basis, but inconsistent play continues to cost him titles. In the three majors this season, he's shot at least one round of 67 or lower, but he's also had at least one round of 73 or higher. The model is calling for him to fall short again, making him one of the favorites to fade in 2022 British Open bets.
Another surprise: Collin Morikawa, a 25-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Many of the players in the Scottish Open last weekend were hoping to use the tournament as a tune-up ahead of the Open Championship, and Morikawa was probably disappointed to not play it out in its entirety. However, ahead of his win in the Open Championship last year, he finished near the bottom of the pack in his warm-up event at the Scottish Open on the European Tour.
Morikawa missed the cut in the Memorial Tournament ahead of the U.S. Open, so he's shown the ability to come back from poor performances to play well. This season, Morikawa has the 11th-best scoring average on the PGA Tour (69.73), so despite discouraging recent results, he should still head into the Open Championship 2022 with confidence.

How to make 2022 Open Championship picks
The model is targeting three other golfers with odds of 22-1 or longer who will make surprising runs. Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it big. You can only see the model's picks here.

Ex-finance minister Rishi Sunak, the favourite to become Britain's next prime minister, kicked off his campaign on Tuesday promising "honesty", in an increasingly testy and divisive battle to succeed Boris Johnson.
An initial 11 candidates put their names forward to become the leader of the governing Conservative Party and Britain's next premier after Johnson was forced to say he would step down when support drained from him over a series of scandals.
Only those who get nominations from 20 of their 358 Conservative colleagues in parliament on Tuesday will go forward to the first vote on Wednesday. The field will then be quickly whittled down to a final two, with Conservative Party members making the final decision.

Transport minister Grant Shapps became the first to end his bid, throwing his support behind Sunak, whose resignation helped provoke the revolt by ministers and Conservative lawmakers that forced Johnson to say he would resign last week.
The new leader faces a busy in-tray as well as falling opinion poll support.
Britain's economy is facing rocketing inflation, high debt, and low growth, with people coping with the tightest squeeze on their finances in decades, all set against a backdrop of an energy crunch exacerbated by the war in Ukraine which has sent fuel prices soaring.
As the contest heated up, rival campaigns stepped up private criticism of each other and pointed to either financial or other questions hanging over their opponents.
With most candidates saying they would cut taxes if they win, Sunak, the current bookmakers' favourite, has sought to portray himself as the serious candidate, promising "grown-up" honesty "not fairy tales".
"It is not credible to promise lots more spending and lower taxes," said Sunak.

As finance minister, Sunak set Britain on course to have its biggest tax burden since the 1950s, and the other prime ministerial hopefuls have turned their fire on him on tax, with most saying they would oversee cuts immediately.
Sunak said he did not want to distance himself from the financial decisions he made during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"Whilst that may be politically inconvenient for me, it is also the truth. As is the fact that once we've gripped inflation, I will get the tax burden down," he said. "It is a question of when, not if."
'Sound Money'
The former finance minister has the widest support among colleagues who have publicly expressed their views, including the backing of Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab.
"I know that Rishi has got what it takes," Raab said, introducing Sunak at his campaign launch event.
Penny Mordaunt, a junior trade minister who is also heavily tipped, topped a poll of Conservative members on Monday and she too has tried to strike a more measured tone on tax, saying that while she would cut taxes: "I will pioneer sound money."
"I am a small state, low tax conservative, but I also believe we need to use the levers of government to support jobs and livelihoods through difficult economic situations," she wrote in the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
Among the others to launch their campaigns on Tuesday were Tom Tugendhat, the chair of the foreign affairs committee, and Kemi Badenoch, a former junior minister who is scooping up some support on the right-wing of the party.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss was also hoping to challenge those at the top of the leader board and received the backing on Tuesday of two ministers closest to Johnson - Nadine Dorries and Jacob Rees-Mogg - who have both been critical of Sunak.
On Monday, the 1922 Committee of Conservative members of parliament agreed on the rules for the contest, saying the field will soon be whittled down with repeated votes in the next few weeks and the final two being presented to the party by July 21.
It said the winner, and Britain's new prime minister, would be announced on September 5.
The main opposition Labour Party will put forward a motion of no confidence in the government on Tuesday to try to force Johnson out of office straightaway. The vote will be held on Wednesday and although some Conservatives have voiced concern about Johnson remaining as prime minister, they are very unlikely to support it.
The new leader will have to reverse evaporating support. A survey by Savanta ComRes on Monday put Labour at 43 per cent compared with 28 per cent for the Conservatives, its biggest poll lead since 2013.

Former WWE producer and Hall of Famer Road Dogg (BG James) has expressed some dissatisfaction over Judgment Day’s confrontation with the Mysterios on this week’s WWE RAW.
The segment featured Damian Priest and Finn Balor trying to recruit Dominik Mysterio to join their faction. Priest and Balor referred to Rey as a bad father. Road Dogg took to Twitter to comment how this segment did not look good:
“So….. they attack me last week and now they cut a promo right in front of me. Idk my babyface doesn’t look good. #JUSTME #OUDK #WWERaw”

- Korea Conformity Laboratories (KCL) Tested Biodegradable Plastic Decomposition in Korea's West Sea
- After 11 weeks in seawater, amorphous PHA film weight decreased 57%, semi crystalline PHA film declined 28%, and polylactic acid (PLA) 1.2%
WOBURN, Mass., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CJ BIO, a division of South Korea-based CJ CheilJedang, announced today that marine biodegradability testing of its environmentally friendly amorphous polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) material conducted by the Korea Conformity Laboratories (KCL) showed weight loss of 57% after just 11 weeks, demonstrating the polymer's ability to quickly biodegrade in the natural environment. Amorphous PHA is a softer, more rubbery version of PHA that offers fundamentally different performance characteristics than the crystalline or semi-crystalline forms that currently dominate the PHA market. Initial applications of the technology will be used as a modifier to other compostable polymers and biopolymers to improve functional and processing characteristics, and for enabling these products to achieve faster rates of biodegradation or composting.
South Korea is ranked second among the highest recyclers of municipal solid trash among countries that are part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), with recycling composite rates of around 60%. KCL is a government-designated national supplier organization that tests, evaluates and certifies products and services in the fields of construction, living, and the environment. The Korean Ministry of Industry, Trade and Resources organized the testing through KCL to further the government's efforts to investigate technologies that can help the Asian nation to continually improve the health of the global environment and to reduce its global footprint.
KCL placed amorphous PHA provided by CJ BIO, along with semi-crystalline PHA, and polylactic acid (PLA) films (the size of A4 paper) into Korea's West Sea and measured the weight changes at intervals of two weeks for 11 weeks. While 57% weight loss was recorded for the amorphous PHA, the weight of the semicrystalline PHA declined 28%, and PLA lost 1.2% of its weight.
"KCL's experiments in the Western Sea Coast are important because they have proven PHA's excellent biodegradability and industrial value outside of the lab and in real-world conditions," says Seung Jin Lee, Head of the Biomaterials business. "We expect that mixing our amorphous PHA with other materials, such as PLA and PBAT, will improve the levels of biodegradability in those polymers, and we are continuing to conduct research and development with those materials and others."
CJ BIO is the world's first and only producer of amorphous PHA, which is TUV OK Certified for industrial and home compost, soil biodegradable, and marine biodegradable. It is considered 'home compostable,' meaning that it does not require specialized equipment or elevated temperatures to fully degrade. Segments and applications for its amorphous PHA, marketed under the brand name PHACT®, are numerous. Immediate focus will be on flexible and rigid packaging, which accounts for greater than 50% of single-use plastics. Other markets include agriculture, organic waste management, coatings and adhesives, personal care, and healthcare.
CJ BIO is continuing to analyze the biodegradable properties of PHA in collaboration with KCL. Marine biodegradation experiments on products including packaging and straws made from a mixture of PHA and other biodegradable materials were started over the past month, and the impact on the ecosystem is also being measured.
Production of amorphous PHA has started at CJ BIO's manufacturing facility in Pasuruan, Indonesia, which has a rated capacity of 5,000 metric tons, with plans to increase production to meet expected demand.

CJ BIO is a division of CJ CheilJedang, a core subsidiary in charge of the food and bioengineering business unit of South Korea-based CJ Group. CJ Group has developed its business portfolio into four core sectors: Food & Food Service, Bio & Pharma, Entertainment & Media, and Retail & Logistics.
CJ BIO is the world's leading supplier of fermentation-based bio-products for animal nutrition, human nutrition, and biomaterials at its thirteen manufacturing facilities worldwide. As a socially responsible company, CJ BIO strives toward practicing carbon-neutral manufacturing operations by utilizing renewable raw materials and developing value-added co-products to minimize environmental waste.

Airports, airlines struggle to meet demand after Covid-induced scale-downs
A recovery aircraft was sent to Dubai on Monday after a SpiceJet aircraft could not operate a return flight as it was found to have a nose wheel snag.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered a probe into the matter.
A senior DGCA official confirmed that on July 11, Spicejet B737 aircraft VT-SZK operated the Mangalore-Dubai flight which was supposed to fly back to India.
"Post landing during a walk-around inspection, the engineer observed nose wheel strut compressed more than normal. On this, the engineer grounded the aircraft," the official said.
"It may be due to depletion of nitrogen used in the oleo strut or internal seal damage. The exact reason would be ascertained based on the investigation of the Landing Gear strut," he added.
Speaking on the matter, a SpiceJet spokesperson said that flight SG23 operating from Dubai to Madurai on July 11 was delayed due to a last-minute technical issue.
"An alternate aircraft was arranged immediately which brought passengers back to India. Flight delays can happen with any airline. There has been no incident or a safety scare on this flight," the spokesperson further said.
After the technical issue was resolved, the first Spicejet aircraft flew back to India as a commercial flight.
SpiceJet is going through a highly turbulent phase in recent times on account of several glitches and a non-adherence to mandated guidelines in regards to the training of some pilots.
The airline received a show-cause notice from the Indian aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) last week over the failure to establish safe, efficient and reliable air services.
Malfunction incidents in the last couple of months
It all started in April 2022 when the aviation watchdog the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had restrained 90 pilots of the airline from operating Boeing 737 Max aircraft, after finding they were not properly trained.
Those pilots were trained on a faulty simulator, and the aviation regulator asked the airline to retrain the pilots, besides slapping a fine of Rs10 lakh.
In early May, 11 passengers on board its flight from Mumbai to Durgapur in West Bengal were injured in severe turbulence and were hospitalised. Two of them were put into intensive care units (ICU). The airline had then maintained that the seat belt sign was on when the aircraft encountered turbulence and several announcements for the same were also made.
Post the incident, the DGCA immediately ordered a probe and a team was formed to investigate and submit a report at the earliest. A preliminary report by the regulator DGCA said the pilots were in “autopilot mode” when the aircraft faced turbulence.
In the later part of May, SpiceJet systems had faced an attempted ransomware attack that impacted and slowed down morning flight departures, while several passengers had complained about the poor services.
On May 28, the pilots on a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Gorakhpur decided to fly back to Mumbai after a windshield crack was observed mid-air.
The incident which grabbed much of the eyeballs was when a Delhi-bound SpiceJet aircraft made an emergency landing at Patna airport on June 19, after there were reports of a technical glitch which ignited fire on the plane.
On the same day itself, a Jabalpur-bound SpiceJet flight landed back at the Delhi Airport after it failed to regain the cabin pressure differential even after attaining a height of 6,000 feet.
ALSO READ:
Again on July 2, a Jabalpur-bound SpiceJet flight returned to the Delhi airport after passengers detected smoke in the plane.
On Tuesday i.e. July 5, a Dubai-bound SpiceJet flight from Delhi with more than 150 passengers was diverted to Karachi in Pakistan as the fuel indicator started malfunctioning.
Upon having noted so many incidents revolving the airline, DGCA has issued a show cause notice to SpiceJet over failure to establish safe, efficient and reliable air services.
“The reported incidents on aircraft operated by Spicejet Ltd. from April 1, 2022, till date have been reviewed and it has been observed that on a number of occasions, the aircraft either turned back to its originating station or continued landing to the destination with degraded safety margins,” DGCA’s show cause notice reads.
Union Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday showed his concerns over recent incidents related to SpiceJet and said, “Passenger safety is paramount. Even the smallest error hindering safety will be thoroughly investigated and course-corrected.”
Facing the showcause notice, SpiceJet Chairman and Managing Director Ajay Singh said that they are running “a safe airline for the past 15 years” and that “one or two incidents being highlighted in media doesn’t mean any airline is unsafe”.
Singh told ANI that the kind of incidents being talked about are “trivial and happen on a daily basis in airlines”. On an average, he said, 30 such incidents happen in airlines every day.

New funding to accelerate adoption of the technology platform across North America, providing all dairy industry stakeholders with much-needed supply chain visibility
HALIFAX, NS, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Milk Moovement, a leading cloud-based dairy supply chain software company, today announced the closing of a $20 million USD Series A round led by VMG Catalyst, the venture capital firm that invests in technology powering the next generation of retail and consumer businesses. The new funding will help accelerate product development and adoption of Milk Moovement among leading dairy businesses in North America.
The over $600 billion global dairy industry has yet to experience a major digital transformation, and the finite delivery windows of a perishable product and constantly shifting consumer preferences make the industry ripe for disruption. Milk Moovement's technology platform brings the industry from pen-to-paper and legacy systems to the cloud – creating full supply chain visibility for dairy farmers and their distribution partners to track and route shipments in real-time, optimize delivery schedules, and ultimately create a significant decrease in food waste and loss of profits.
"We constantly seek out the best and brightest talent to join us as we build market-leading products and partner with dairy industry leaders," said CEO and Co-Founder Robert Forsythe. "This latest round of funding is a major win for our employees and investors, but most importantly it allows us to support our incredible partners in getting the right milk to the right place at the right time."
"VMG Catalyst immediately saw the value Milk Moovement brings to the dairy industry, in particular given a heightened focus on the fragility of global supply chains and the corresponding impact on consumer goods," said Carle Stenmark, General Partner at VMG Catalyst. "Real-time data transparency is critical for managing perishables and provides tremendous benefit to all the constituents in the dairy value chain. We're looking forward to seeing even broader adoption of the company's innovative software platform, and the positive change it creates for the industry."
Seed investor and agriculture industry leader, Richard Cargill, is also participating in the company's Series A, "It's been an honor to be a part of Milk Moovement as they provide something truly unique for the industry. The team has been exceeding expectations in their rollout to empower new customers with much-needed data and the company is just getting started. I am looking forward to the acceleration of creating distinctive customer value this new investment will enable."
Jafar Shahwan, Vice President of Supply Chain at California Dairies, one of Milk Moovement's customers says "Adopting Milk Moovement's technology has unlocked our imagination on how dairy supply chains should operate. I am a true fan of the solution and the capabilities it brings to the industry. The software brings all stakeholders together in real-time, which allows for clarity and visibility on key elements of our operations. Milk Moovement is a true partner to California Dairies and has changed the way business is managed, decisions are made, and communication flows." California Dairies is the second largest milk marketing cooperative in the US, with more than 300 farms and produces over 17 billion lbs. of fresh, high-quality milk annually.
Milk Moovement currently has a network of 2,500 dairy farms and over 5,000 users including global Fortune 100 CPG companies. The company manages over 30 billion pounds of raw milk each year, which equates to about 15% of the U.S. dairy market. Over the past year, Milk Moovement saw its annual recurring revenue grow by more than 10x. At the forefront of this growth are early adopters of Milk Moovement including United Dairymen of Arizona, California Dairies Inc, and many more to be announced this year.
Concurrent to the completion of Series A funding round, Ecolab, a global leader in hygiene and infection prevention solutions, made a minority equity investment in Milk Moovement. "We have been impressed by Milk Moovement's cloud-based platform and its potential to connect all players along the dairy supply chain and transform value delivery and stakeholder experience," said Sam Hsu, Ecolab EVP of Strategic Planning.
Milk Moovement previously secured $3.2 million USD in funding from lead investor Dynamo Ventures, alongside Bread & Butter Ventures, Matchstick Ventures, and SOSV. These investors continue to support Milk Moovement in this latest round of funding and are thrilled at the company's impressive rate of growth. The company currently employs 50 people across Canada and the United States.
Founded in 2018 by Jon King and Robert Forsythe, Milk Moovement is a rapidly expanding dairy SaaS company. Milk Moovement is currently in a period of tremendous growth with established clients across Canada, the US, and Australia. Its mission is to get the right milk to the right place at the right time using its proprietary software that tracks all milk shipments and delivers real-time quality and quantity information to all dairy stakeholders. Milk Moovement believes in data-driven food supply chains that are able to feed generations to come.

Leading Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Franchise Spreads Across the Golden State, Seizes Opportunity for Continued
West Coast Development
SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise leader Chem-Dry recently announced two major signed agreements in California, furthering the brand's presence in the state. One signed agreement covers the Sacramento area, and the other covers Greater San Bernadino. Chem-Dry is on the fast-track for growth in 2022, with 23 signed agreements year-to-date and a goal of adding 70 franchises by the end of the year.
Heading up the recent California development for Chem-Dry in California are franchisees Cliff Mastrolia and Dada Ojeisekhoba. Mastrolia's Chem-Dry territory covers Greater Sacramento, including Placer and El Dorado counties, and Ojeisekhoba's territory includes San Bernadino and Riverside counties.
Mastrolia is a Sacramento-area local with a military background and experience in management and sales, most recently working as a bail bondsman for ten years. Ojeisekhoba is located in Orange County, and has worked in the cleaning industry for over 20 years before finding Chem-Dry. Both franchisees saw potential for growth in their service areas, and chose the brand due to its extensive recognition for quality and success over the past 45 years.
"People have been moving out of the larger hubs in California like Los Angeles and San Francisco, which presents a great opportunity for Cliff and Dada's service areas," said Ed Quinlan, President of Chem-Dry, part of the BELFOR Franchise Group family of brands. "We are thrilled to have them on our team as we continue to increase Chem-Dry's brand presence on the West Coast."
Placer and Sacramento counties have experienced decent growth compared to other areas of the state, with both counties seeing increases in population during the pandemic. San Bernadino and Riverside counties also noted a population increase despite nearby Orange County seeing a decline. Chem-Dry is poised for growth in the state, with over 250 franchises in operation across California.
Chem-Dry, the Healthy Home Authority®, currently serves more than 11,000 homes and businesses each day across 55 countries. Over the next six months, the 45-year-old brand aims to further increase its North American coverage by adding 50 franchises across the United States and Canada.
Chem-Dry creates cleaner, healthier indoor environments with its proprietary equipment and solutions for carpet, upholstery, granite countertops and hard floor surfaces, such as wood, tile and laminates. In further testing of its processes, a study conducted by a leading independent laboratory concluded that the Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning method removes an average of 98% of common household allergens from carpets and upholstery. Chem-Dry has a national partnership with the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA), working to raise awareness and provide education on the importance of indoor air quality in maintaining the health and safety of homes and businesses.
Since its launch in 1977, Chem-Dry has become the recognized market leader by building a robust network of 1,800 franchises across the country. Most recently, the brand was recognized for the second year in a row by Global Franchise Magazine as the Best Property Maintenance Franchise, validating the premier status of the brand. It recognizes Chem-Dry for what it does best, which is supporting its franchisees while also making homes and workplaces cleaner, healthier and safer. Additionally, Chem-Dry was one of the top 500 franchises in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500®, the world's first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Chem-Dry ranked on this prestigious list for its outstanding performance in unit growth, financial strength and stability, and overall brand power.
To meet the growing demand for its innovative services, the company is actively seeking community-minded entrepreneurs to join the mission of delivering safer, healthier spaces across the globe. With territories available in prime markets nationwide, Chem-Dry is an industry-leading brand in a large and growing category, that offers its franchise network world-class training and support.

Updated July 12, 2022 at 9:51 AM ET
A bill introduced Monday in the U.S. House of Representatives could help the 2030 census and other upcoming national head counts avoid the years of meddling by former President Donald Trump's administration that dogged the country's most recent tally.
If it becomes law, the bill would put up additional roadblocks against any attempt by an administration to interfere with the next once-a-decade census, which is used to divvy up political representation and federal funding to communities across the U.S.
The proposal led by Rep. Carolyn Maloney — a Democrat from New York who chairs the House Oversight and Reform Committee that helps oversee the Census Bureau — comes after the Trump administration raised the risks of an incomplete and inaccurate count of the country's population in 2020 with its failed push for a previously untested census question about U.S. citizenship status and installation of political appointees with no obvious qualifications at the bureau, among other extraordinary moves.
"It basically moves to make sure that the census is fair and accurate, that it is removed from political influence and that the decisions made are made on science and not politics," Maloney told NPR.
Under the Ensuring a Fair and Accurate Census Act, the number of political appointees allowed at the bureau, the federal government's largest statistical agency with about 4,285 staffers, would be limited to three, including the agency's director.
The president would be allowed to remove the director — who currently can serve no more than two five-year terms — "only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office," according to the legislative text. And if there is no director in place, there would be a succession plan involving only the top career civil servants.
The bill also specifies that only the bureau's director could make operational, statistical or technical decisions for the once-a-decade national count and that the agency could only have a "single" deputy director, who would be a career civil servant appointed by the director.
To try to prevent another citizenship-question debacle, the head of the Government Accountability Office would have to review whether all questions for the upcoming census have been "researched, studied and tested according to established statistical policies and procedures."
The bill would also require the bureau to report to Congress five-year cost estimates for its work, as well as provide a report every two years on the status of its plans for the upcoming census.
Two additional committees of outside advisers — one for reviewing statistical quality standards and another specifically focused on the 2030 census and the bureau's American Community Survey, the country's largest survey — would be created.
During the Trump administration, plans for a 2020 census advisory committee were stopped despite the concerns of many census stakeholders.
With November's midterm elections on the horizon and no introduction yet of a Senate version of this bill, it's not clear if the Democratic-controlled Congress will be able to pass the legislation during this session.
Maloney noted that other priorities, including gun control and prescription drug prices, forced this bill to stay on the backburner.
"You can't do everything at once, so we finally got to it," Maloney said.
The House oversight committee is scheduled to discuss the bill Thursday during a business meeting.
Asked if she's feeling pressure to get the bill passed by the end of the year, Maloney replied: "Yes. I certainly hope that we have a Democratic House and Senate, but you never know in an election. And I do not think the Republicans would support this bill, but I can't speak for them. They haven't supported them in the past."
In past years, Maloney has introduced bills that would make the bureau, which is currently under the Commerce Department, an independent agency — a strategy that her latest census bill avoids.
"I know both Republican and Democratic administrations did not support it being totally independent, so we have it in the Commerce Department but with strict guidelines, rules, regulations," Maloney said, adding that she's "pleased" that this new bill would make the bureau "more independent than it has been before."
The bill has the support of four former bureau directors, who released a joint statement after its introduction saying the legislation "would help build greater trust and confidence in the essential data the Census Bureau supplies to the nation."
"Trust in the nation's official data is essential to the democracy and the economy, and this legislation will undergird that trust," added Vincent Barabba, Robert Groves, Kenneth Prewitt and John Thompson.

The White Paper applauds Tuya Smart for its holistic approach to cybersecurity leadership; specifically for acquiring international third-party security certifications, establishing the Tuya Security Team, creating secure and independent data storage centers, and developing innovative security products in-house: a security-operation platform solution designed to help developers eliminate security risks, Tuya Sage, and the first IoT module of its kind with a built-in secure element (SE) and Common Criteria (CC) EAL6+ certificate, WBR3N.
The 2022 Global IoT Security White Paper was jointly prepared by the Research Center for Cyberspace International Governance ("RCGCG") and the global standard for IoT security, ioXt Alliance. The White Paper was written with input from scholars in cybersecurity and Sino-U.S. technology at the Stimson Center, Albright Stonebridge Group, Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center, Yale Law School, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Center, and more. It is the first prominent white paper to focus on global IoT cybersecurity and include case studies and best practices from global IoT leaders and 12 suggested initiatives to strengthen global IoT security.
Expert in-house InfoSec team, numerous third-party certifications
The White Paper states that enterprises should focus on enhancing cybersecurity, assembling security teams, improving information-security systems, strengthening corporate-compliance capacity and eliminating IoT system security risks by perfecting management models, processes, tools and platforms.
The White Paper research group commended Tuya Smart for building an in-house security team and for partnering with top international third-party institutions. The Company's in-house information-security team secures its data from cradle to grave, safeguarding the software development life cycle (SDLC). The information-security team creates security classification standards for smart hardware devices, compiles security-test cases to ensure the defense of the technology, and protects the code of the firm's software during the development phase.
Cooperating with top international third-party institutions in security assessment and certification is a best practice in the global IoT industry. Tuya Smart has met or surpassed most global information security standards. This includes an endorsement from the well-known international organization, Information Security Organization ("ISO") certification of SGS, BSI's ISO27001 standard for information security system, ISO27017 standard for cloud security management system, ISO27701 standard for cloud platform privacy and security, and the Connectivity Standards Alliance ("CSA") STAR cloud security certification. The Company is a recipient of the TrustArc's Enterprise Privacy Certificate (EPC) and regularly partners with Rapid7, wizlynx group, ScienceSoft, Chaitin Tech, DAS-Security, and UnderDefense to test Tuya's information security capacity with professional penetration testing.
IoT enterprises can ensure their products meet fundamental international safety standards by submitting relevant certificates. When it comes to product safety standards, Tuya Smart has passed TÜV SÜD's EN 303645 and NIST IR 8259A certifications. In 2021, Tuya announced a partnership with ioXt Alliance to improve hardware developer security and launched a certified components program.
"ioXt Alliance is thrilled to cooperate with Tuya to increase IoT security adoption. With a global leader in IoT like Tuya wrapping ioXt's Certified Components Program into its platform, Tuya and ioXt can make devices more connected and smarter," said Craig Miller, Director of Intellectual Property at ioXt. "With the assurance of the ioXt security certificate, Tuya ecosystem members and customers can enjoy the highest level of IoT services and security," concluded Miller.
Secure and independent data centers
The White Paper noted Tuya's security and quality assurance across global data centers. Tuya owns six data centers that provide speed and stability for customers around the world. Each data center operates independently. Concerning regional compliance, Tuya Smart has passed Ernst & Young's SOC 2 Audit as well as TrustArc's GDPR and CCPA's regional compliance validation.
While Tuya neither directly faces consumers nor stores consumer-end data, one of its core missions is to protect businesses' customer data and provide secure systems to store user data. Tuya has strict internal regulations, a clear access-control strategy and a robust technological architecture.
Initiatives to safeguard the global IoT industry
To accelerate the construction of IoT security systems and improve the governance level of IoT security, the White Paper proposes 12 relevant measures to enhance public confidence, advance governance efficiency, encourage the innovation of IoT enterprises, and deepen the development of the global digital economy with IoT. Some of the key measures highlighted in the White Paper are below:
With siloed and fractionalized IoT ecosystems, countries and transnational IoT enterprises should embrace global cooperation, develop mutual trust across the cybersecurity sector and work to remove obstacles that are stifling mutual confidence.
Building a safe, secure and robust IoT ecological system is crucial for its long term growth and sustainability. Relevant parties should give full play to the role of third-party testing and certification institutions, prioritize suppliers with cybersecurity-protection capacity, and form a zero-trust security model IoT supply chain to elevate security-protection capacity and to provide users with security commitments on products and services.
Weak consumer awareness paired with vulnerabilities on connected consumer devices poses a large threat to the industry. According to a December 2020 study on corporate IoT devices from Zscaler, a leader in cloud security, 76% of surveyed devices were still communicating on unencrypted plain text channels. Companies and organizations in the IoT industry should increase cybersecurity knowledge through public awareness campaigns and training, so that users can fully understand cybersecurity risk and operate IoT devices in a safe and responsible way. Through cooperation at all levels and with leadership from IoT enterprises, the industry can make headway in effectively protecting personal privacy and data security.

HELSINKI (AP) — Latvia’s president said Tuesday that he supports a plan to reinstate national conscription for men, and for women on a voluntary basis.
The draft could be reintroduced next year after a hiatus of over 15 years.
President Egils Levits, who is the supreme military commander of Latvia — a NATO member that borders Russia — said in an interview with Latvian broadcaster TV3 that he favors the idea floated by the Baltic country’s defense minister last week to create an 11-month mandatory military service for men aged 18-27 from the beginning of 2023.
“We have really, really good, high-level armed forces, professional armed forces — you could say one of the best in NATO,” Levits told TV3. The conscription, he said, is needed because there are not enough reservists with military training in the nation of 1.9 million.
Latvia abolished compulsory conscription in 2007, switching to a fully professional military service. Levits said the biggest limitation in the country’s current professional military is its small size.
“The new geopolitical situation ... requires a larger number of people who, if necessary, can participate in the defense of their country, and who are not professional soldiers and are reservists,” Levits said, referring to Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.
He added that “women should also be ready to defend their country” but refrained from saying whether female conscription should become compulsory. Levits also urged officials and politicians to come up with ways to get Latvians living abroad to participate in the defense of their native country.
Under the Latvian defense ministry’s initial, unconfirmed plan, some 1,000 conscripts would be recruited annually in drafts twice a year. The conscription model would be phased in during a five-year period starting next year.
Latvia's Baltic neighbor, Lithuania, abolished compulsory conscription in 2008, but reinstated it in 2016 in response to Russia’s aggression of Ukraine. Estonia, the northernmost of the three Baltic states, has maintained conscription, supported by the Estonian Defense League, created after independence in 1991.

LONDON (AP) — British health officials say there have now been 1,735 confirmed cases of monkeypox and that three-quarters of those cases are in London, according to data released on Tuesday.
In a review of the outbreak published last week, Britain's Health Security Agency said there were “no signs of a decline” in the monkeypox epidemic and that the virus “continues to be transmitted primarily in interconnected sexual networks of gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men.” The agency said 97% of cases fell in that category and that there was no evidence of sustained transmission beyond that.
Scientists warn that anyone who is in close physical contact with someone who has monkeypox or their clothing or bedsheets is at risk of infection, regardless of their sexual orientation.
British scientists estimate the outbreak is doubling in size about every two weeks and said it's likely cases are being undercounted. They said that in nearly 80% of cases, there is no information about whether or not the person had contact with a confirmed case, meaning the virus is spreading undetected.
Scientists have noted that people with unusual symptoms, including only a single lesion, have been detected in the outbreak and say there have also been reports elsewhere of people with no symptoms carrying monkeypox. About 10% of infected people in the U.K. have been hospitalized, but there have been no deaths reported.
British experts said the virus has been spreading through close or sexual contact and that there has been no evidence of airborne transmission.
The Health Security Agency said the number of cases and countries identifying monkeypox “continues to increase steeply," saying that infections beyond Africa have also been primarily seen in gay and bisexual men. It said there had been three cases of monkeypox in children, who are more likely to suffer serious disease.
Last month, the World Health Organization declined to declare monkeypox a global health emergency, but said it would revisit its decision soon. It said its evaluation of the outbreak could change if there are cases among sex workers, if the virus continues to spread rapidly or if more severe disease is seen.
People with monkeypox often experience symptoms like fever, body aches and a rash; most recover within weeks without needing medical care.
In central and west Africa, where the disease has been endemic for decades, the disease mostly affects people who come into contact with infected wild animals, like rodents or primates. There have been about 1,500 reported cases of monkeypox, including 70 deaths, in Congo, Cameroon and the Central African Republic.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are more than 9.600 cases of monkeypox worldwide in nearly 60 countries, most of which had not previously reported the disease. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/UK-Monkeypox-cases-rise-to-1-735-with-most-cases-17299236.php | 2022-07-12T14:21:28Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/UK-Monkeypox-cases-rise-to-1-735-with-most-cases-17299236.php | false | 31 |

The Government has agreed to reform the TV licence fee, and is to consider options before the end of the year on how to expand the fee to increase revenue.
Premier Micheal Martin said the Government had agreed to retain the 150 million euro a year provided by the 160 euro TV licence fee, but to reform it through a technical working group that will examine how to increase the revenue yield from the licence fee.
The technical group is to report back to Cabinet in November.
The Government has accepted 49 out of 50 recommendations made by the Future of Media Commission, which was set up in September 2020 to make recommendations on sustainable public funding and other support for the Irish media.
Among the recommendations in the report, published on Tuesday, is a Media Fund that would be available to online, print and broadcast outlets at local, regional and national level.
It involves schemes for local democracy reporting, news and court reporting, access and training, community media and digital transformation.
The Government is due to consider whether there should be a zero VAT rate on newspaper sales, and a technical group is to consider whether to expand the TV licence fee to households that do not have a television but watch Irish content online.
“I think one of the issues that the technical group will have to look at is all the households that don’t have a TV,” said Catherine Martin, Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
Due to the economic crisis and the independence of the Irish media, the Government did not accept a recommendation to provide the sector with funding directly from the Exchequer.
“The Government carefully weighed up the commission’s recommendations to move to a fully Exchequer-funded model,” the Taoiseach said.
“However our considered view is that a hybrid funding model combining improved licence fee revenues with continued Exchequer funding is the best way to ensure sustainable funding into the future.”
Exchequer funding for the media is currently more than 110 million euro a year, but it could rise to 300 million euro a year if the licence fee system was eliminated, the Taoiseach said.
“It’s not realistic, and it’s not something that Finance and Public Expenditure could agree to and I understand that fully. But also, in terms of the ring-fencing perspective, I think it would be dangerous for democracy.
“The temptation for any future government could be to significantly cut, say, the media fund if it didn’t like a particular orientation the media was taking at a given time.”
Professor Brian McCraith, chairman of the commission, said he was “very pleased” that the Government had supported 49 of its 50 recommendations.
In relation to the rejection of Exchequer funding, Mr McCraith said: “What’s of fundamental importance is that any alternative model yields the same or similar levels of funding to enable all the good things to happen. I think that’s the important issue.”
The commission was also asked to make specific recommendations in relation to public service broadcaster RTE.
Ms Martin said the Government accepted a recommendation that interim funding would be needed for RTE, and she would be engaging with Minister for Public Expenditure Michael McGrath on this as part of Budget talks.
RTE director-general Dee Forbes welcomed the interim funding committed to by Government, and said the national broadcaster would engage with the technical group on the “utterly broken” licence fee system.
“The decision by Government today to align the obligation to pay the licence fee with how people consume media today is critical to ensure the future sustainability of the system.
“We will engage with the proposed working group as to the scope of legislative and system changes that are required, and we trust reforms will be decided upon and implemented quickly.
“RTE also welcomes that the Government is accepting the recommendations in the report regarding the need for interim funding while the reforms to the licence fee system are being further examined.”
The Taoiseach concluded: “Particularly in the digital era, Ireland must continue to have a pluralistic, independent and diverse media that provides the high-quality public service content so essential to social cohesion and democracy.”

For the second time in nearly four years, a former Rensselaer County correction officer is facing charges that he sexually abused a female inmate.
The first case against Sean Morrissey, brought by Rensselaer County prosecutors in 2018, was dismissed that year in City Court. And last month, the 51-year-old Morrissey, of Waterford, was indicted in U.S. District Court on the charge of abusive sexual contact of a ward for allegedly rubbing the genitalia of the same female county jail inmate between Sept. 7, 2018 and Sept. 21, 2018.
Which begs the question: Why the delay between cases?
But if you ask that question to Capital Region law enforcement, do not expect an answer. A City Court judge in Troy sealed the case in early 2019. Law enforcement officials at the state and federal level are not talking about why that happened — leaving even Morrissey’s attorney, Arthur Frost, seeking answers.
“Mr. Morrissey and I were both surprised and disappointed at the new charges filed against him,” Frost told Law Beat. “The charges in Rensselaer (City) Court were dismissed four years ago and we were surprised that the U.S. attorney's office would bring these new charges. We are still evaluating the charges and measuring our reaction to them.”
Asked about the delay between the charges, Frost said: "I have no idea why they waited four years, but that will likely be a part of the defense: that they have deprived my client of his due process rights by delaying so long. The state charges were dismissed because they were meritless."
The U.S. attorney's office, in a news release last month, alleged that Morrissey abused the inmate "with the intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade, or arouse or gratify the sexual desire of a person." The crime, upon conviction, carries a maximum of two years in prison. It is believed to involve the same alleged criminal conduct as the 2018 state case.
Prosecutors announced Morrissey's indictment last month, noting the investigation involved the FBI and the Rensselaer County Sheriff's Office. But none of those agencies are commenting on the delay in cases. It is not unusual for a lag to take place in the aftermath of COVID-19. But a delay of four years, even in today's legal world, seems unusual.
On Monday, Sheriff Patrick Russo told Law Beat that Morrissey left his job as a correction officer in 2018 around the time the officer was charged.
Cases are sealed upon dismissal in New York under section 160.50 of the state's Criminal Procedure Law. The case is not expunged but it is, for all intents and purposes, unavailable to the public outside of whatever news reports of it remain online or in print.
What sets the Morrissey case apart from ones involving most defendants, however, is that it involved his alleged actions as a law enforcement officer. In June 2020, following the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law to repeal Civil Rights Law 50-a, which had blocked the public release of past misconduct allegations used in personnel decisions against law enforcement.
Based on that law change, the prior allegations against Morrissey would seem to clearly warrant public disclosure.
Morrissey's alleged misconduct also was not the first time he was accused of wrongdoing. In 2004, he was sued in U.S. District Court in Albany on allegations related to his conduct on Aug. 14, 2001. That day, after his pick-up truck was struck by a paint ball pellet on Spiegeltown Road, Morrissey -- while wearing his correction officer uniform -- allegedly stopped his truck, grabbed a 13-year-old who was crossing the street, and choked and handcuffed the child, who was not the person who shot the pellet. He then allegedly put him in the back seat of his truck.
In 2006, the case was settled for $12,500 and dismissed. Unlike state court, its record remains public.
Still, none of that answers the question of why the case was delayed for nearly four years.
Morrissey is tentatively scheduled to go to trial on the federal charge Aug. 29 before Chief Judge Glenn Suddaby in Syracuse. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Lawyer-questions-new-abuse-case-against-former-17288207.php | 2022-07-12T14:27:00Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Lawyer-questions-new-abuse-case-against-former-17288207.php | false | 1 |

Washington, D.C. – The photo of a Puerto Rican soldier who died in the Vietnam War is one of only two that have not been published on the “Wall of Faces”, an online platform dedicated to honoring U.S. servicemen who died in that war.
William Sotomayor, a retired military officer, affirmed that of the 332 Puerto Ricans who died in Vietnam and are on the wall, the only photo missing is that of Juan Ortiz Rivera, from Bayamón.
The other person without a photo on the Wall of Faces is Roger Brown, from Brooklyn (New York).
Puerto Rican Ortiz Rivera died on December 28, 1967, in Bac Lieu, at the age of 25. He was born on June 24, 1942, and joined the Army. Ortiz Rivera was married, his father’s name was Juan Ortiz Bergara, and he graduated from Agustin Stahl High School in Bayamón.
Brown died in Tuyen Duc, on April 9, 1969, two months before his 20th birthday. He was born on June 13, 1949.
Sotomayor said that people who may have information that could help to find the relatives or friends of those soldiers who fell in the Vietnam War can contact Janna Hoehn, at neverforgotten2014@gmail.com.
More information is also available at www.vvmf.org/thewall.
Sotomayor, a Texas resident, said Hoehn has organized groups of volunteers who have dug into military records and searched for family members seeking to complete the Wall of Faces photos.
According to the Puerto Rico government’s Office of the Veteran’s Advocate, 332 Puerto Ricans died in the Vietnam War. | https://www.elnuevodia.com/english/news/story/the-wall-of-faces-seeks-help-to-find-a-photo-of-a-puerto-rican-soldier-who-died-in-vietnam/ | 2022-07-12T14:27:55Z | https://www.elnuevodia.com/english/news/story/the-wall-of-faces-seeks-help-to-find-a-photo-of-a-puerto-rican-soldier-who-died-in-vietnam/ | false | 1 |

Walking through Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on Feb. 5, 1985, Darryl Rogers spotted a familiar face. He was not thrilled.
Rumors were flying. The Phoenix Gazette had reported that Rogers, who had just completed his fifth season as Arizona State football coach, had met with the Detroit Lions and been offered their head coaching position. Two Detroit newspapers listed him as a lead candidate. Reporter Bob Eger, who had covered the Sun Devils for two decades, approached Rogers. Notebook in hand, he walked alongside as Rogers, 49, stepped on an escalator. Wearing slacks and a sports jacket, the coach carried travel bags in each hand.
Since arriving from Michigan State in 1980, taking over for ousted program legend Frank Kush, Rogers had continually faced questions about his future at Arizona State. After beating rival Arizona his first season, Rogers talked with reporters in the coaches’ locker room as he changed clothes. A rumor had connected Rogers with an opening at San Diego State. Rogers rolled his eyes. “Just ask me, I’ll tell you,” he said. “I have no bones telling you if I’m talking to somebody. I’ll tell you confidentially what’s going on.”
It escalated from there. At halftime of the 1981 NFC Championship Game, CBS broadcaster Brent Musburger reported on television that Rogers was a candidate for the vacant New Orleans Saints job.
In 1983, after Rogers had met with the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams to discuss head coaching jobs, he called a news conference to announce that he was happy at Arizona State. “I have no intention of leaving ASU now, next season, nor anytime thereafter as long as the means of fielding a competitive team continue to be provided administratively at the university, conference and national level,” Rogers read from a statement.
At the airport, Rogers stuck to a similar script. He explained to Eger that he had traveled to San Francisco to help an assistant coach with a recruit. The signing period was a week away, and Arizona State was positioned for a strong recruiting class, maybe its best since joining the Pac-10 in 1978. After San Francisco, Rogers told Eger he had flown to Chicago for additional recruiting business.
“I am not a candidate,” Rogers said of the Detroit job. “I have not had any discussions with anybody in Detroit. I was not in Detroit. … I don’t know how any of this got started.”
The next day, not long after Rogers had assured his athletic director there was nothing to the rumors, the Detroit Lions announced Rogers as their head coach. Media in Arizona and Michigan mocked Rogers for his dishonesty.
Although no one knew it at the time, Rogers was leaving a program he had positioned for a Rose Bowl run. Nor did anyone realize that his departure would lead to a change in state policy that would go down as a turning point for his profession in the state of Arizona.
Rogers, who died in 2018 at age 83, is on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot for the fourth time this year. Prior to his time at Arizona State, Rogers served as head coach at Fresno State, San Jose State and Michigan State. He was known as an offensive innovator, particularly in the passing game.
With the Sun Devils, Rogers went 37-18-1, highlighted by a win over Oklahoma in the 1983 Fiesta Bowl. Most of his time in the desert has gone overlooked, mostly because of the coaches who came before and after him. But there are things you should know about Rogers’ stint in Tempe.
1. He took over at perhaps the most difficult time in program history. Frank Kush was among the most popular people in the state, synonymous with the university. He led Arizona State to unbeaten seasons in 1970 and 1975 and won 176 games over 22 years. His 1979 dismissal, which came after allegations that he punched a punter and directed assistant coaches to lie to cover up the incident, divided the community. Boosters threatened to withhold money. The punter, Kevin Rutledge, received death threats. “There were lawsuits flying back and forth,” former receiver John Mistler said. “I had to have an attorney because I was going to testify.” And now the Sun Devils had a new coach. “It was kind of a confusing time,” former tight end Jerry Bell said. “But Darryl came in and stabilized all of that.”
2. He put Sparky on the helmet. “When he first came out there, one of the things that he did was he looked at the uniform, he looked at the helmet, and he changed it all,” said Mike Chismar, an equipment manager under Rogers who today is a senior associate athletic director at the school. In addition to Sparky, the school mascot, Rogers had “ARIZONA STATE” put across the front of the jersey and added stripes to the sleeves.
3. He hired the program’s first full-time strength coach. Just a few months after his arrival, Rogers brought in Don Clemons from New Mexico State. “When I first came here, we had kids who had no business playing Pac-10 football,” Clemons told reporters. “I’m talking mostly about our offensive linemen, the main thrust of our program. They just hadn’t worked enough with weights.”
4. He was the complete opposite of Kush. While Kush was hands-on, Rogers took more of a CEO approach. “Darryl was a really good football head coach in that he hired really good people that he relied on and trusted,” former quarterback Jeff Van Raaphorst said. Another major difference: “With Coach Kush, we hit during the season,” former defensive end Jim Jeffcoat said. “We had very physical practices. With Coach Rogers, it wasn’t as physical.”
5. He dealt with NCAA sanctions. Entering Rogers’ second season, the NCAA placed Arizona State on two years’ probation for rules violations committed under Kush. This kept the Sun Devils from participating in bowl games in 1980 and 1981, seasons in which they finished 7-4 and 9-2, respectively.
6. He got the best out of his players. In Rogers’ second season, the Sun Devils led the nation in total offense. In his third, they led the nation in total defense. “He just had a way,” said former assistant Mike Martz, who also played under Rogers at Fresno State. “Some guys have it. He didn’t say a lot but he really understood football. He was on the cutting edge with the passing game. He kind of changed the Big Ten when he went there at Michigan State, throwing the football. Of course, he did that at Arizona State, too, but he was just a terrific football guy.”
7. He led one of the more heartbreaking seasons in school history. In 1982, Arizona State won its first nine games, climbing to No. 3 in the AP poll. On Nov. 13, the Sun Devils had a chance to secure the program’s first Pac-10 crown and Rose Bowl berth against No. 7 Washington. They lost 17-13 in front of a record home crowd. The next week Washington State upset Washington, giving the Sun Devils another chance. All they had to do was beat rival Arizona, which was 5-4-1. They lost that one, too, 28-18.
8. He slipped his last two seasons. After going 26-8 his first three years, Rogers went 11-10-1 his final two. Perhaps worse, the Sun Devils lost to rival Arizona three times in a row. The diehards grew restless. Booster groups pushed for change. Wrote a Tucson columnist, “The biggest drawback Darryl faces is that he labors in a place where they probably ought to keep the coach and fire the fans.”
9. He coached on one-year contracts. Per state law, this is all Arizona schools could offer.
The day after Rogers left for the Lions, boosters leaked candidates for his replacement. Among them: Florida State’s Bobby Bowden, BYU’s LaVell Edwards and former Raiders coach John Madden.
Of greater significance, a state senator pushed to draft legislation that would allow Arizona State to offer a multiyear contract to its next head coach. The state’s standing rule prohibiting multiyear contracts for university athletics coaches had been an issue for years. At his introductory news conference, Rogers admitted to feeling “shaky” about his one-year deal. Arizona football coach Larry Smith also was an outspoken critic of the rule.
State senator Pete Corpstein introduced legislation that would permit the state’s three universities — Arizona State, Arizona and Northern Arizona — to offer contracts of up to five years in length to football, basketball and baseball coaches. The bill included an emergency clause so it could be in place before Arizona State hired Rogers’ replacement. It wasn’t that easy.
Some lawmakers questioned giving multiyear contracts to coaches but not academic faculty members. Even the university presidents operated on one-year contracts. Others wondered about buyout issues. No resolution surfaced. On Feb. 25, the Arizona Republic reported that UCLA’s Terry Donahue had emerged as a lead candidate to replace Rogers but that contract length remained a significant hang-up. Unlike Arizona State, UCLA offered five years.
On March 7, Arizona State hired Tulsa’s John Cooper as its next head coach. Like Rogers, he got a one-year contract, but Arizona State gave him an oral commitment for five. This became an issue in the coming years, as state officials discovered that Arizona State and Arizona had both made “arrangements” with coaches, such as offering five one-year contracts and other under-the-table deals that circumvented state law. Arizona basketball coach Ben Lindsey, fired in 1983 after one season, claimed he had an oral agreement for four years and successfully sued for breach of contract. Arizona State basketball coach Bob Weinhauer, fired in 1985, received a settlement for similar reasons.
Finally, on Dec. 12, 1986, nearly 22 months after Rogers left for the NFL, the Arizona Board of Regents approved guidelines that allowed for coaches in any sport to be hired for up to five years. Frustrated coaches exhaled.
Cooper called the action “long overdue” and said it put Arizona schools on a level playing field with other states. Smith called it a step in the right direction. Arizona basketball coach Lute Olson, who once had a 10-year deal at Iowa, said he no longer would have to answer the same questions that pop up every year in recruiting. Will you be there the entire time my son is there? What assurances do we have?
Most important, the coaches agreed that multiyear deals would give them something one-year contracts never provided: security.
On Jan. 1, 1987, Michigan quarterback Jim Harbaugh, trying to rally the Wolverines from a 22-15 deficit in the final minute of the Rose Bowl, dropped back and fired to the right side. Arizona State safety Robby Boyd intercepted the pass, setting off a massive celebration.
Arizona State players lifted coach John Cooper onto their shoulders and carried him across the field. The Sun Devils finished 10-1-1, ranking fourth in the final AP poll. Cooper credited Rogers for setting the team’s foundation. “Darryl recruited these players,” he said.
Seven weeks later, Arizona hired Hawaii’s Dick Tomey as its football coach, offering him the first multiyear contract in state history. (Tomey replaced Larry Smith, who had left for USC in part because he grew tired of waiting for a multiyear offer.) In May, after a debate over contract language, the Arizona Board of Regents approved the Tomey deal, as well as multiyear contracts for Olson, Cooper, Arizona baseball coach Jerry Kindall and Arizona State men’s basketball coach Steve Patterson.
Times had changed.
Meanwhile, Rogers struggled in the NFL. After a 7-9 finish in his first season, he led the Lions to records of 5-11 and 4-11. After a 2-9 start to the 1988 season, Rogers was fired. Players and fans had turned on him. Wrote a Detroit newspaper columnist, “If Darryl Rogers ever had a chance, it wasn’t a very good one.”
Rogers returned to the house he had built in Tempe with his family. After a few months, an Arizona Republic reporter caught up with him. They discussed the coach’s failures in Detroit and how Rogers was surviving without football. For the first time, Rogers said he could play golf in the fall. It felt strange.
Looking back on that day at the airport, Rogers admitted he had met with Detroit but added that he was not in position to confirm it. He said he asked Arizona State about a multiyear commitment but didn’t get one. Most of all, he wanted to protect the program’s recruiting.
Today, former Arizona State players look at Rogers differently. Some insist the coach would have stayed had he gotten a multiyear deal. Others insist he was destined to leave for the NFL. Some say he would’ve led Arizona State to the Rose Bowl. Others aren’t so sure.
Nearly everyone, however, agrees on this: After the firing of Frank Kush, Arizona State faced a difficult transition. With the help of Darryl Rogers, the Sun Devils got through it.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Succession” and “Ted Lasso” are in the hunt for Emmy nominations that could add to their previous trophy hauls, but they’re up against hungry newcomers.
When the bids are announced Tuesday, the social satire “Succession,” a 2020 top-drama winner, may face a showdown with “Squid Game.” The South Korean hit about a brutal survival contest is vying to become the first non-English language Emmy nominee.
The Emmys once were dominated by broadcast networks and then cable, with the rise of streaming services changing the balance of power and perhaps the awards themselves. The possibility of Netflix’s “Squid Game” joining the Emmy mix is the result of streaming’s global marketplace focus.
Other possible drama contenders include the modern Western “Yellowstone,” workplace thriller “Severance” and “Yellowjackets,” a hybrid survival and coming-of-age tale.
Potential competition for “Ted Lasso,” which claimed seven trophies including best comedy last year, includes the inaugural seasons of “Abbott Elementary” and “Only Murders in the Building” — both popular and critical successes.
Past top comedy winner “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” also is vying for nods.
There are a number of outgoing shows looking for some final Emmy love. Among dramas that includes “This Is Us,” and “Ozark,” with “Insecure” and “black-ish” on the comedy side.
Jean Smart, last year’s best comedy actress winner for “Hacks,” is in the running for a nod again, as is the series, with “Ted Lasso” star Jason Sudeikis hoping to repeat his 2021 comedy actor win. Bill Hader is chasing a third award in the category for “Barry.”
“The Crown,” which dominated the 2021 drama awards, wasn’t televised within the eligibility period and is sitting this year out.
JB Smoove (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Melissa Fumero (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) and Television Academy Chairman and CEO Frank Scherma were to announce the nominees. The Emmy ceremony is set for Sept. 12 and will air on NBC, with a host yet to be announced.

Local 4′s Hank Winchester reports: Happy Amazon Prime Day!
I hope you’re ready to save big because the deals are huge. I’m in the market for a TV and have been waiting for today to make my move. Anyone have a Smart TV they love? Let me know because it can be overwhelming with so many models and deals on the market.
A few things I hope you will remember:

- Make sure you’re on the real Amazon website -- sometimes a pop up ad can take you to another fake page.
- Use a credit card over a debit card -- it offers more protection.
And, price compare! Many stores are offering big deals to take your attention away from Amazon. Target and Best Buy have hundreds of items slashed more than 50% off right now!
Okay, enough chit chat!
Here are some of the deals I already spotted on Amazon.

SymphonyAI Expands Enterprise AI Financial Vertical Strategy Through Acquisition of NetReveal® Financial Crime Detection Business from BAE Systems
Customers will benefit from breakthrough enterprise AI product innovation for precise regulatory compliance and financial crime detection through the combination of NetReveal and SymphonyAI technologies
PALO ALTO, Calif. , July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SymphonyAI, a leader in high-value enterprise AI SaaS for strategic industries, announced today it is acquiring financial crime detection leader NetReveal from BAE Systems. This acquisition marks a significant step in SymphonyAI's expansion strategy within the financial vertical.
Today's banking regulatory landscape demands institutions effectively address financial crime, fraud, sanctions screening, internal malfeasance, and growing cryptocurrency risk. NetReveal efficiently protects against financial crime, ensures regulatory compliance, and reduces risk for 200 of the world's leading financial services institutions. The financial services sector is a significant industry vertical for SymphonyAI. The company developed and launched the Symphony AyasdiAI Sensa platform in late 2021, bringing AI-based analytics and insights to financial crime detection. As part of SymphonyAI's financial vertical, NetReveal will use Sensa AI technology to deliver transformative innovations and powerful new products that better uncover anomalous activity, reduce false positives, and control costs.
"NetReveal is a global leader in regulatory compliance and financial crime detection and prevention with a 20-year heritage, operating in a fast-growing market," said Mike Foster, managing director of NetReveal. "We are well-positioned for growth. As part of SymphonyAI, NetReveal can pursue all avenues for that growth, including an innovative product roadmap, new partnerships, and expanded go-to-market opportunities."
"SymphonyAI's mission is to combine an in-depth understanding of business challenges with AI technology," said SymphonyAI CEO Sanjay Dhawan. "We reduce the burden on the enterprise worker with AI for new insights to improve operations. NetReveal fits right in that sweet spot, providing customers with unrivaled industry knowledge and proven technology. Our financial vertical now combines Sensa's market-defining innovation with NetReveal's strong counter-fraud and financial crime heritage. Our portfolio is unmatched in capabilities that will define the future of financial crime detection."
"NetReveal and SymphonyAI bring together a strong AI analytics framework and well-established scalable platform for risk management," said Sidhartha Dash, research director at research firm Chartis. "This powerful new combination will combine next-generation AI analytics and an end-to-end risk management infrastructure to deliver scalable solutions in a wide variety of risk and compliance contexts and represent a significant new addition to the compliance technology ecosystem."
The NetReveal Financial Crime platform manages all aspects of anti-money laundering detection and financial crime investigation and reporting. It provides regulatory compliance, risk management, and fraud and financial crime detection to increase effectiveness and reduce costs for global, multi-jurisdiction operations.
Following this acquisition, SymphonyAI's financial vertical will consist of NetReveal, with its extensive experience across a large customer base and its team of more than 750 subject matter experts, and SymphonyAI Ayasdi, with its award-winning Sensa financial crime platform and leading technology team. The two product groups will accelerate innovation across the NetReveal and Sensa portfolios for transformative, next-generation AI-based capabilities for financial crime detection.
"This is great news for NetReveal customers and the market," said SymphonyAI Chairman and Founder Dr. Romesh Wadhwani. "NetReveal is an excellent fit for SymphonyAI. Our leading enterprise AI SaaS solutions deliver enormous value to customers in the retail, CPG, financial, manufacturing, media, IT, and public sectors. NetReveal helps solve the critical problems financial services customers face today in handling financial crimes. Being part of SymphonyAI will enhance and accelerate its value to customers in a significant way."
The transaction is expected to be completed later this year, subject to customary regulatory approvals.
NetReveal provides financial crime, risk management, and fraud detection and prevention across banking, financial markets, and insurance via a single platform. The platform is adaptable to the evolving and heterogeneous nature of the financial services sector; to deliver power and flexibility in analytics, investigation, integration, security, and total cost of ownership reduction for customers. Advanced data analytics is at the core. Its analytics engines effectively detect anomalous behavior and are some of the most effective at positive/negative detection and false-positive reduction in the market.

SymphonyAI has many leading enterprise customers in each of these industries. Since its founding in 2017, SymphonyAI has grown rapidly, approaching 2,000 talented leaders, data scientists, and other professionals. SymphonyAI is a SAIGroup company, backed by a $1 billion commitment from successful entrepreneur and philanthropist Dr. Romesh Wadhwani.

Quicklly Adds JAM Fund, Great North Ventures and More to its Plate of Investors, Focused on Accelerating Market Expansion and Partnerships While Dishing Out Authentic Indian/South Asian Groceries, Tiffins, Meal Kits and Restaurant Options
CHICAGO, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Quicklly, the nation's most comprehensive marketplace for South Asian groceries and meal delivery, today announced the successful completion of a $4 million seed funding round. With more than 250,000 unique South Asian/Indian items available for nationwide and local delivery and nearly 300 independent vendors leveraging its ecommerce platform, Quicklly has firmly established its place in the hearts and stomachs of Indian food lovers across the country. It will use this round to continue to take the nation by storm as it expands geographic access, increases ecommerce and offline channel partnerships and invests in logistics and infrastructure.
Driven by a desire to make authentic Indian and South Asian ingredients, products, foods and meals more accessible, Quicklly co-founders Keval Raj and Hanish Pahwa launched the platform in 2017. Since then it has grown by 11,000% - making it by far the nation's largest marketplace for South Asian cuisine, as well as a rising powerhouse in the expansive digital food marketplace industry as a whole. This phenomenal growth accelerated last March, when the company completed a $1.27 million pre-seed funding round.
"As a big believer in the power of digital disruption, I back companies with explosive growth that are making waves in their categories, and Quicklly is doing exactly that. It is not content with simply waiting for the North American food industry to wake up to the importance and market power of South Asian consumers. The team is actively and aggressively building that future every day," said Pat Vihtelic, founder of Home Chef and one of Quicklly's earliest investors. "This new round of investment demonstrates the strength of Quicklly's market leadership and the resounding momentum the team is seeing as consumers embrace its innovative business model and product offering. I'm so thrilled to be able to support the talented and dedicated team behind Quicklly's success and to be part of its journey as it continues to rapidly scale."
This round of funding, led by high-growth technology investors such as JAM Fund (Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen), Great North Ventures, Adam Goldenberg and Don Ressler (founders of TechStyle Group) and Pat Vihtelic (founder of Home Chef), complements the booming growth the digital marketplace has already experienced and will support the company as it expands with initiatives such as authentic meal kits, a custom Instacart storefront and the continuous addition of hundreds of independent grocery and restaurant vendors to the site.
"With the support of this new group of investors and the hundreds of thousands of customers who choose Quicklly each and every day, we've never been more confident and excited about our future as North America's largest and most comprehensive South Asian marketplace," said Keval Raj, one of the company's founders. "We want to connect every pocket of America with the most authentic and delicious Indian flavors available. Whether our customers are in the heart of New Jersey's Little India or thousands of miles from the nearest South Asian grocer, we want to provide them with ready and easy access to fresh, premium and delicious grocery items, meal kits, restaurant prepared meals and more."
Quicklly will use the additional capital to expand geographic access, increase ecommerce and offline channel partnerships and invest in logistics and infrastructure to generate additional same-day delivery capabilities.
- Expanding geographic access: In addition to offering nationwide delivery of grocery items through quicklly.com and Instacart, Quicklly also offers same-day grocery and food delivery for residents of greater Chicago, the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City/Northern New Jersey. In the coming months, the team expects to expand same-day delivery to Austin, Seattle, Los Angeles and additional cities throughout the United States.
- Increasing ecommerce and offline channel partnerships: Following on the success of the launch of the Quicklly Indian Meal Kits storefront, Instacart and Quicklly are working towards the launch of 90-minute Indian grocery delivery in 12 cities nationwide in 2022.
- Investing in logistics and infrastructure to expand same-day delivery capabilities: To facilitate the company's ongoing growth in the U.S., Quicklly will expand its team from 28 to more than 50 full time and contracted employees. This includes the addition of Divya Dixit as the company's first vice president of growth marketing and Maiwand Mayar as head of offline growth.

When officers arrived on scene, they found a 2016 Peterbuilt truck with an attached livestock trailer carrying cattle had lost control, went down an embankment, and overturned.
The driver received minor cuts and scrapes while exiting the truck and was treated on scene.
Riley County Fire District #1 was called to assist with extrication of cattle from the trailer and Riley County EMS arrived on scene to monitor responders for heat-related illness. Kansas Highway Patrol was also on scene to evaluate the truck.
“This was quite an ordeal,” said RCFD #1 Deputy Chief Martens. “There were more than 60 head of cattle in the trailer when it overturned. Crews were out in the heat for about five hours using the jaws of life to get the cattle out. Unfortunately, at least 10 cows were either killed during the crash or had to be put down because of injuries. Neighbors and local farmers helped round up the cattle while we worked on the trailer.”
A total of 15 RCFD#1 volunteers and personnel responded to the call. RCPD’s Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Team was also on scene assisting in the location of some missing cattle.
“Today has been a great example of how people in Riley County pull together and help when needed,” said Martens.
The cause of the crash is unknown. | https://sunflowerstateradio.com/2022/07/12/cattle-trailer-overturns-on-fancy-creek-road-near-randolph-monday/ | 2022-07-12T14:39:14Z | https://sunflowerstateradio.com/2022/07/12/cattle-trailer-overturns-on-fancy-creek-road-near-randolph-monday/ | true | 1 |
Kieran John Earl was behind the wheel of a BMW that collided with the HGV on the roundabout north of South Kirkby in January last year.
The 27-year-old, of Hillside Road, Ackworth, appeared at Leeds Crown Court this morning where he admitted one charge of causing serious injury through dangerous driving.
A second identical charge, relating to a male who was also injured in the smash, is still being considered by the Crown Prosecution Service.
Earl will appear again on July 25 and was told by Judge Simon Batiste to "get his affairs in order" in the meantime.
Judge Batiste also ordered a full pre-sentence review to be prepared, and handed Earl an interim driving ban.
The crash between the blue BMW 320 and the blue tipper truck happened at around 10.15am on January 23, 2021, on the A6201 roundabout between Avenue Lodeve and Sprockhoevel Way.
Police said at the time that a woman in her 20s was left in a critical condition and two other people in the car received injuries which were not life threatening. | https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/crime/bmw-driver-admits-leaving-woman-critically-injured-in-truck-smash-3764944 | 2022-07-12T14:40:00Z | https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/crime/bmw-driver-admits-leaving-woman-critically-injured-in-truck-smash-3764944 | true | 2 |

How Heart Finally Made a Hit Out of ‘Alone’
The third time was the charm for Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly's "Alone" in 1987 — thanks to Heart.
The power ballad made its debut on Taking the Cold Look, an album Steinberg and Kelly released in 1983 under the moniker i-Ten (produced by Keith Olsen and Toto's Steve Lukather) that flew well below the radar. A year later, actors John Stamos and Valerie Stevenson performed the song during the sixth episode of their one-season CBS sitcom Dreams; the duet appeared on a subsequent soundtrack released at the end of the year, also without a great deal of success.
Two strikes — but "Alone" wasn't out yet.
While not popular as recording artists, Steinberg and Kelly began to hit gold with their songwriting. Their parade of chart-toppers started with Madonna's 1984 single "Like a Virgin"; they also racked up hits for Cyndi Lauper ("True Colors"), the Bangles ("Eternal Flame") and Whitney Houston ("So Emotional"), among many others. "Alone," meanwhile, was a tune the duo felt hadn't gotten its due in its previous incarnations.
"I wasn’t really happy with the way [Taking a Cold Look] turned out, but it did have some good songs on it," Steinberg told Songfacts. "The most prominent song on it was 'Alone.' Tom and I ... just sort of set it aside when that [album] didn't succeed. ... I just put those songs in a drawer and forgot about them, but then Tom and I were having a good deal of success with 'Like a Virgin' and 'True Colors,' and then we heard that Heart was looking for a power ballad and Tom said, 'What about 'Alone'?' I winced and said, 'Oh, I don't really want to look at that song.' He said, 'What do you mean? That's perfect.'"
Listen to i-Ten's 'Alone'
Steinberg and Kelly tweaked their original version of “Alone's” first line, changing it from "I always fared well on my own" to "'Til now, I always got by on my own." "And Tom changed the melody and gave it much more movement and almost a slightly R&B feel," Steinberg recalled. "That really lifted the chorus, and then all of a sudden I Iiked the song again. We made a new demo of the song very quickly and presented it to Ron Nevison, who was producing Heart at that time. He loved it and they cut it."
Heart was chafing at the idea of including so many songs by outside writers on their albums, which began with the multiplatinum comeback of 1985's Heart. The trend continued on 1987's Bad Animals, which included a track from Dianne Warren and another Kelly-Steinberg contribution, "I Want You So Bad."
"Those songs that were written by sort of an L.A. pool of songwriters, just to shop around to everybody, and Heart was given them, and we did them and had success with them, but they don't really stand the test of time," the group's Ann Wilson told UCR in 2022. "There's not much substance there. They could've been for anybody. The ones that work best and really light up for Heart have been the ones that we wrote ourselves."
Then again, not just anybody has a No. 1 hit, which is what "Alone" became in July 1987. It was the group's second chart-topper, following "These Dreams" a year earlier, and only their third Top 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It wound up at No. 2 on the year-end Top Pop Singles chart for 1987 and was also No. 1 in Canada; "Alone" also became Heart's only Top 5 single in the U.K.
Its "Romeo & Juliet"-styled video, directed by Marty Callner, was an MTV and VH1 favorite as well. And “Alone” helped propel Bad Animals to triple-platinum sales and No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
Watch Heart's Video for 'Alone'
Looking back, Wilson has softened her attitude toward "Alone." "There were a few of the ones, like 'These Dreams' and 'Alone,' 'What About Love?,' that were written by other people but the magic happened," she acknowledged. "There was a marriage that happened. That doesn't happen very often with outside material, but when it does it's great."
Heart's version turned "Alone" into a kind of modern pop standard. It was part of Carrie Underwood's repertoire during her winning American Idol run in 2004, while Celine Dion covered it on her Taking Chances album in 2007. Kelly and Steinberg continued to pen more hits for the likes of Lauper, the Pretenders, Divinyls, Cheap Trick, Pat Benatar, Tina Turner, Bette Midler, Belinda Carlisle and REO Speedwagon. After Kelly retired in the '90s, Steinberg continued, frequently writing with Rick Nowels and landing songs with Dion, Demi Lovato, Ashley Tisdale, t.A.T.u. and others. | https://ultimateclassicrock.com/heart-alone-song/ | 2022-07-12T14:42:06Z | https://ultimateclassicrock.com/heart-alone-song/ | true | 1 |

Chelsea have made an inquiry around a potential move for Serge Gnabry this summer, according to reports.
The German winger is a wanted man this summer, with Premier League rivals Manchester United and Man City also linked with an interest.
According to the Daily Mail, the Blues are now also considering a move for the Bayern Munich man as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
However, reports in Germany suggest Chelsea have already suffered a big blow in the early days of their pursuit.
German outlet Bild claim the former Arsenal man wouldn’t consider a move to Stamford Bridge due to his allegiance to the Gunners – and would even prefer a return to the Emirates if he were to leave Bayern this summer.
Gnabry spent his formative years with Arsenal and made 18 appearances for the north London club before leaving for Werder Bremen in 2016.
A successful year there earned him a move to Bayern Munich in 2017, where he has since scored 64 goals and provided 40 assists in 171 appearances.
But, despite his record for the club, the 26-year-old’s future with the German champions is far from certain.
Most read in Football
Gnabry has just one year left on his contract at the Allianz Arena and his long-term future is uncertain after he reportedly rejected a new deal worth around £200,000-a-week to extend his stay.
Man United and Man City are among the clubs interested and, while Chelsea are now also keen, it seems like a move to the west London club remains unlikely.
The Blues have already agreed a deal to sign Raheem Sterling from Man City for a reported fee of £55million.
Thomas Tuchel was also linked with an strong interest in Raphinha, however it seems that has since cooled.
Barcelona are said to be closing in on a move for the Leeds United man, however, talkSPORT understands they’re hoping to agree a deal that would see the cash-strapped Spanish giants put off paying the first instalment until next year.
While nothing is confirmed, it seems that Raphinha’s move to Chelsea is hanging by a thread and, with Gnabry reluctant to move to west London, it means Chelsea’s search for reinforcements continues.

343 Industries has announced that the long-awaited Halo Infinite campaign co-op beta has been delayed, but is still expected to release this week.
The Halo Infinite co-op beta test, which was announced last August, was expected to release to the public this week but unfortunately, players will need to wait just a little longer (via PC Gamer).
343 Industries community director, Brian Jarrard, took to Twitter to share that the team is still working on the network co-op Insider flight build, so it won’t be ready to release just yet.
“While we always said our ‘target was the week of July 11’, many sites reported it simply as ‘starting July 11,’ Jarrard explained. “Still hoping for this week, but it will not start today.
“Flighting is fluid as the process entails discovering issues in initial rings and resolving them before expanding to a larger audience. A few issues were discovered in our current flight ring and the team is working to address.”
Since the campaign co-op beta didn’t have an exact release date, it’s technically not a delay, but players will still need to hold on a while longer to get their hands on the beta test.
“Apologies to folks who expected the flight today – we’re eager to get this into your hands but we also want to ensure it’s a positive and worthwhile flight experience,” he added. “Still targeting this week but it’s day by day as work continues. Ty [thank you] for your patience and understanding.”
343 recently confirmed that the Halo Infinite campaign co-op mode will feature mission replay. Lead world designer John Mulkey explained that in both solo and co-op play, players can open their Tac-Map, highlight a completed mission, and then choose replay. A difficulty selection will also be available.

"Read it and you'll learn what it takes to thrive, not just survive, even amid the most challenging, sometimes overwhelming personal and professional crises."
"This book is a memoir, but it's also a tribute to all my former employers who gave me opportunities for which I'll always be grateful," adds the author.
More than 250 pages long, the book documents Cargill's career from job to job, including many lessons he learned the hard way along his professional journey.

Following the successful weekend debut of Thor: Love and Thunder, Chris Hemsworth shared an adorable retrospective on his Instagram on Monday (July 11). “Here [are] two pics of me and my daughter,” Chris, 38, captioned the photos of him alongside his and Elsa Pataky’s eldest child, India Rose Hemsworth. The first photo was taken during “the first time she was on set 11 years ago,” wrote the Marvel star. “The other is the most recent on Thor: Love and Thunder. She’s my favourite superhero.”
India Rose was born on May 11, 2012, so it’s likely that this first shot was taken during the making of Thor: The Dark World, which began filming in September of that year. In the second photo, Chris holds his daughter – now ten years old – in his arms for a pivotal scene in the newest installment, Love and Thunder.
Actually, the new Thor movie features not one, not two, but multiple Hemsworths. [Minor spoiler alert]. Chris said in late June that one of his and Elsa’s 8-year-old twins, Sasha and Tristan, plays a young Thor. India plays “the character of Love,” said Chris, before adding. “It’s really cool. They really wanted to be in it.”
“It felt sort of like a one-off fun family experience,” added Hemsworth. “I don’t want them to now go and be child stars and actors. It was just a special sort of experience we all had, and they loved it. They had a great time.”
Having India in the movie “was not always the plan,” Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi told Marvel.com. “The idea started really when Chris was talking about [his daughter] India. And he was like, ‘Oh, you know, it would kind of be quite cool for me to be in a scene with my daughter.’ I started looking around like, oh, everyone has kids. All of these actors have kids.”
Chris reflected on his decade of being the God of Thunder in a June 27 Instagram post. “For over a decade, you have shown us that Thor is still worthy. We’re humbled and grateful to all of you who have been part of this incredible journey,” he wrote. “We can’t wait for you to see.” Apparently, the rest of the world was ready to see it: the film currently made over $303 million at the worldwide box office, and it’s only been out for four days. | https://hollywoodlife.com/2022/07/12/chris-hemsworth-daughter-india-thor-throwback-photos/ | 2022-07-12T14:55:41Z | https://hollywoodlife.com/2022/07/12/chris-hemsworth-daughter-india-thor-throwback-photos/ | false | 1 |

Griner’s name permeates WNBA All-Star Game, Team Wilson wins
Brittney Griner was everywhere Sunday — before, during and after the WNBA All-Star Game. A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and the rest of the WNBA All-Stars wore Griner’s name and her No. 42 on the back of their jerseys for the second half of Team Wilson’s 134-112 victory over Team Stewart. It was another moment in the league’s continued push for Griner’s release from her detention in Russia. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/blazers-jabari-walker-looks-like-the-biggest-steal-of-the-nba-draft-so-far-during-summer-league/257132/ | 2022-07-12T14:56:11Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/blazers-jabari-walker-looks-like-the-biggest-steal-of-the-nba-draft-so-far-during-summer-league/257132/ | false | null |
Plaintiff Plymouth County Retirement Association filed a class-action complaint against defendants Outset Medical, Inc., several executives, including Leslie Trigg, Nabeel Ahmed, and Rebecca Chambers on Friday in the Northern District of California. The complaint cites violations of the federal securities laws and alleges that the defendants withheld material information that resulted in the plaintiff and class members sustaining damages.
The plaintiff is seeking class certification for all individuals or entities who purchased the defendant’s common stock in the class period, between September 2020 and June 2022.
Defendant Outset Medical is described in the complaint as a “medical technology company focused on kidney dialysis, the primary treatment for acute and chronic kidney failure.” Specifically, the company produces a dialysis machine known as the Tablo Hemodialysis System, which purifies tap water and then artificially purifies and removes toxins from the blood of patients suffering from kidney failure. The defendant allegedly represented that Tablo was like a “dialysis clinic on wheels.”
During the aforementioned class period, the defendant stated that Tablo had been cleared by the FDA and made it clear that “the Company’s true value proposition would be recognized through the emerging use-at-home market rather than the more traditional acute or clinical setting it targeted historically.” Outset Medical was differentiated from its competitors due to its home setting component. The defendant expressed that its total addressable market opportunity was around $8.9 billion.
Since Tablo is used in a non-professional setting, the complaint explains that it is subject to heightened scrutiny (post-market surveillance studies) by the FDA. Although Tablo had been initially approved by the FDA, it would be subject to additional studies, “the results of which could require additional applications for clearance and approvals.”
Defendant Outset Medical represented to its investors during the class period that it was conducting regulatory studies. It also completed two secondary stock offerings throughout the class period, raising more than $570 million in proceeds.
During the class period, the defendant was also making significant changes to Tablo which remained undisclosed to investors. The complaint asserts that the changes made by Outset Medical “made it likely that the FDA would order the Company to cease all marketing and selling of Tablo for use in the home pending additional applications and approvals,” and also prevented the company from being able to conduct the regulatory studies it claimed it was completing.
Outset Medical’s first quarter of 2022 report resulted in its common stock declining over 40% in just three trading days. The complaint explains that analysts attributed the disappointing results to the “untested nature of Tablo in the home setting.” On June 13, 2022, the company announced that the FDA had forced it to cease shipping Tablo until it gained a proper regulatory clearance, which resulted in the common stock falling an additional 34%. Defendant Trigg, the CEO of Outset Medical, acknowledged in a review call that the ship hold had been in place for weeks earlier.
The complaint concludes that due to the defendant’s misconduct, the plaintiff and other class members have suffered significant losses and damages. The complaint cites two violations of the Exchange Act.
The plaintiff is seeking class certification, damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, litigation fees, and any other relief deemed appropriate by the court.

NEW YORK — If you missed last month’s supermoon, you have another chance this week.
This month’s full moon is Wednesday. At the same time, the moon's orbit will bring it closer to Earth than usual. This cosmic combo is called a supermoon.
That can make the moon appear slightly bigger and brighter, weather permitting — though the difference isn't clear to the naked eye. It'll look biggest and fullest when it's close to the horizon due to perspective.
One name for Wednesday’s full moon is the "Buck moon" — a reference to the time of year when new antlers are growing on male deer, or bucks.
The supermoon on June 14 was the "Strawberry moon" because it’s the full moon at strawberry harvest time.
What is a supermoon?
The moon's orbit around the earth is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. A full moon is considered a supermoon when it comes within 90% of perigee, its closest point to Earth. The perigee is about 226,000 miles from Earth — about 25,000 miles closer than the moon's furthest point.
According to NASA, the closest supermoons appear "about 17 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter" than the furthest, faintest moon of the year. That 17% isn't actually enough to make the moon look noticeably bigger, but NASA says supermoons are still a bit brighter than other full moons. They can also cause higher tides than usual due to their proximity to the Earth.
Only three or four supermoons happen each year, always in a series. | https://www.fox61.com/article/news/nation-world/july-buck-supermoon/507-299be21b-96b7-45a4-8fb5-998a466c2a67 | 2022-07-12T15:02:59Z | https://www.fox61.com/article/news/nation-world/july-buck-supermoon/507-299be21b-96b7-45a4-8fb5-998a466c2a67 | true | 16 |
