NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 12 – President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko re-united on Tuesday after two years of antagonism and joined forces to drum up support for Azimio La Umoja – One Kenya Alliance presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
It was the first time the duo shared a platform after the former Governor severed ties with the Head of State in December 2020 when he was impeached.
The controversial Sonko was impeached for abuse of office among other things and he attributed his predicament to President Kenyatta.
The tiff between the duo started soon after the former Governor surrendered four key functions to the national government on February 26 2020.
The functions included health, transport, planning and utilities.
The transfer later birthed the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) which is being headed by Major General Mohamed Badi.
After sustained criticism from a section of leader, Sonko came out and alleged that he had been coerced and drugged during the official signing ceremony of the deed of transfer.
In the Tuesday rallies across the City, a different Sonko showered praises to the Head of State and lauded him for commissioning different projects in the County.
“For the short time I have been out in the trenches, I have seen the President doing a lot to transform the lives of Kenyans,” he said.
Sonko who belongs to the Azimio La Umoja – One Kenya Alliance which is backed by President Kenyatta asked the Nairobi residents to vote in candidates allied to the alliance.
“For this good work to continue you must vote in leaders who support the President,” he said.
Governor Anne Kananu and Badi were among the County leaders who accompanied the Head of State in the City tour.
Sonko is seeking to contest in the Mombasa Governor race but the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has declined to clear him owing to his impeachment.
The controversial politician is in court seeking a reversal of the Commission’s ruling.
President Kenyatta urged the City residents to back Azimio noting that its candidate former Prime Minister and Martha Karua are best suited to succeed him.
“I would like you to choose leaders who we are proud of, leaders who will take us forward,” he said adding “the pair will continue from where I would have left”. | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/07/im-here-to-stay-president-kenyatta-says-as-he-campaigns-for-raila-with-sonko/ | 2022-07-12T15:09:12Z | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/07/im-here-to-stay-president-kenyatta-says-as-he-campaigns-for-raila-with-sonko/ | false | 2 |

To say I'm really into piano feels silly — I might as well say I'm really into speaking English.
That might sound dramatic, but then, I've been playing since I was 3, when my mom first sat me down for a lesson (and I will remember my first song perfectly on my deathbed: C-D-E, E-D-C, D-E-C).
Piano has always made intuitive sense to me. Once I learned how to read the black jumble of dots and lines on the paper, I got it. Any piece became a puzzle to assemble — figure out the keys you're supposed to hit and when you're supposed to hit them. Easy.
But then, after you figure out the puzzle, there are more levels. What happens when you play that piece fast? Quietly? Is this the one you play when you're sad? Bored?
There's also the practical level: Here is the short piece (Chopin – Minute Waltz) for when someone at the party insists that you play that grand piano over there, but you just want to stand in the corner and not draw any attention to yourself. Here is a grand-sounding, romantic piece to impress the boy you're dating (Liszt – Un Sospiro). And so on.
I'm into piano, but the piano is also my frenemy. When I get frustrated enough with something I'm trying to learn, my piano and I stop talking for months on end.
But then, in this relationship, I'm the obsessive, creepy friend. I think about piano anyway — I hear a pop song and my brain leaps to how I would play it, which embellishments to keep, which to emphasize.
Or I go to concerts. Watching a professional pianist perform is something like watching LeBron James or Serena Williams at their best — you sit back and trust that the genius is going to do genius things. It's both comforting and exhilarating.
And each pianist has their own way of doing it. Years ago, I saw a young woman perform a downright athletic version of a Rachmaninoff concerto. It was athletic by necessity — in one of my books, I have a piano piece by Rachmaninoff, across the top of which my high school-era piano teacher scrawled "SHOULDERS" in all caps. Rachmaninoff demands that your body participates. And so it was with this slight woman in her elegant evening gown, rising off the bench over and over to literally put her weight into it.
A few months ago, I saw a different concerto, from an older, slightly rotund pianist, in a full suit. He did not remove his jacket — just sat neatly down to the instrument, as if pulling himself up to a nice dinner.
And then he barreled his way through 40 minutes of some of the hardest piano music ever written. He didn't make it look easy, exactly — because who could? — but he did it with a practiced efficiency, a lifetime of expertise concentrated into one performance.
I find performing terrifying, even nauseating. It took my spouse half a year to get me to play for him when we were dating.
And yet, probably because of a childhood spent playing for countless church services and choirs, I can stomach playing in the background. (But only barely — I had to sit in the car and weep a few minutes of anxiety tears before accompanying my church choir a few weeks ago. The stage fright is real.)
One of my most joyful times in DC was playing at a sing-along piano bar in Georgetown. I had the crappy shift: happy hour, when people mostly just wanted me to pipe down because the Nats were on.
Maybe that's the best kind of hobby to have — one that makes you privately happy, but that you can also use to inject a little joy into the world.
But sometimes, it was great. A petite, barely-out-of-her-teens woman once shyly approached and asked if she could sing. You already can guess how this goes — when she took the mic, this outrageous, huge voice came out. I convinced her to do a few more numbers, and the bar patrons actually turned around to watch — high praise.
Or there was the joy of playing a song everyone knows. A room full of drunk people singing "Say It Ain't So" was fun at the time, but with the hindsight of a two-year pandemic, I now recognize that being in a room of people yelling maskless and off-key that your druuuug is a hearrrrrtbreakerrrrrrr was magical in its own way.
And maybe that's the best kind of hobby to have — one that makes you privately happy, but that you can also use to inject a little joy into the world ... whether via livening up a party, wowing a date, or getting strangers to yell Weezer lyrics.

Cleveland, Miami or L.A. — which version of LeBron is best?
LeBron James has played for three NBA franchises — Cleveland, Miami and the Los Angeles Lakers — and success has followed him to each stop along the way.
But which version of James has been the best?
On Monday's "Undisputed," Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless took to the desk to figure out which version of King James was the most kingly, and Bayless landed on the LeBron who went back to Cleveland from 2015-18.
"The greatest I ever saw LeBron was in 2015, his first year back in Cleveland, against Golden State in the Finals," said Bayless. "I’ve never seen anything like it. … To me, the best stretch of his career was 2015 and 2016, Cleveland the second time."
In his two stints in Cleveland (2004-10, 2015-18), James averaged 27.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists. He was the NBA scoring champion in 2008, won NBA MVP in 2009 and 2010, was the 2016 NBA Finals MVP, was first-team All-Defense in 2009 and 2010, and was first-team All-NBA in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
During his Cleveland tenures, he won a single title, in 2016.
For Sharpe, James was his best at his second stop.
"He was at the peak of his powers [in Miami]. He could sit in a chair. He could guard one through five, and we saw him do it on a number of occasions. … So for me, I’m gonna take Miami LeBron because I think he was at the peak of his offensive and defensive powers."
While his stay in South Beach was short (2011-14), James made the most of it. He averaged 26.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists in four seasons. He won NBA MVP and Finals MVP in both 2012 and in 2013, winning titles in both years. He was first-team All-Defense from 2011-13, and was first-team All-NBA in all four Miami seasons.
Currently, James is entering his fifth season with the Lakers, and he has so far had a roller coaster of an experience.
James is averaging 27.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 8.2 assists in L.A. He won a title in 2020 and was named Finals MVP. That season he was also first-team All-NBA. But the Lakers have made the playoffs only twice in James' four years in town. | https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nba/cleveland-miami-or-l-a-which-version-of-lebron-is-best | 2022-07-12T15:11:39Z | https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nba/cleveland-miami-or-l-a-which-version-of-lebron-is-best | true | 1 |
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study by impact innovation company SecondMuse in collaboration with market research firm YouGov finds that U.S. entrepreneurs have significantly deprioritized corporate social responsibility issues since 2020.
The study was conducted in March and April of this year via a survey of 275 entrepreneurs amid a period of record inflation, rising interest rates, and other economic and logistical challenges tied to the pandemic and war in Ukraine. It found that nearly all entrepreneurs think the U.S. economy is not on the right track and that most do not believe it "works" for people from their demographic.
"The State of Entrepreneurship in the U.S.," which launched today, provides a window into key changes in the perceptions innovators have about the economy and small business landscape since 2020, when the first iteration of the study was conducted.
It finds that less than a third of respondents see environmental sustainability and racial equality as key issues, down from 54% and 59%, respectively, in 2020. Poverty and immigration have moved up as the number two and three issues behind healthcare, which remains the top concern among entrepreneurs, with more than half citing it as a key issue.
"These findings reflect trends we've observed in our work with entrepreneurs across the country, who are focused on simply surviving in a volatile economy amid supply chain issues, geopolitical instability and constrained capital," said Todd Khozein, Co-CEO of SecondMuse. "It's exceedingly difficult to be an entrepreneur and this study sheds light on specific areas where they can benefit from support."
The outlook is starkly more pessimistic than it was in 2020, when the country was consumed by the pandemic and movement for racial justice.
"Some of the pessimism can be attributed to the pandemic-related surge in people starting their own businesses, who are first encountering the challenges that have always existed, especially for people from historically marginalized backgrounds," Khozein said.
Surveyed women and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds cited access to capital as their greatest need, as did immigrants, who also cited a path to citizenship as a key necessity. People who identified as Black, Asian, and Hispanic, meanwhile, said they would benefit most from less discrimination.
The study underscores the need for targeted entrepreneur support, particularly for those from marginalized groups and for those with environmental and social justice ambitions who are simply too focused on basic survival to give other goals proper attention.
SecondMuse conducts these studies periodically to gauge the perspectives of entrepreneurs from a diversity of backgrounds, particularly with reference to the challenges facing new businesses. The SecondMuse study will be conducted again to expand longitudinal data on "The State of Entrepreneurship in the U.S." More details on the study findings and methodology can be found here.

SUWON, South Korea, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Park Systems, the world's leading manufacturer of atomic force microscopes (AFM) is proud to award the Park Systems AFM Scholarship to Gen Liu at Tianjin International Center for Nanoparticles and Nanosystems (TICNN), Tianjin University, China for his research on SECCM. Scanning electrochemical cell microscope is the latest generation of scanning electrochemical microscopy technology. It is designed to record the morphology and electrochemical activity information of samples simultaneously, which can directly correlate their structure and chemical properties.
Scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) is a new pipette-based nanoelectrochemical scanning probe technique designed to investigate the local electrochemical properties of electrode surfaces using Park Atomic Force Microscope. Using SECCM, researchers can perform thousands of confined nanoelectrochemical measurements (droplet area ranges from nm2 to µm2) on a single surface.
"My research included the high-resolution morphological test, accurate positioning test and repeatability test to provide experimental evidence on the routine and commercial application of SECCM," comments Gen Liu. "Based on the described setup, the clear topographical and electrochemical activity information of ~45 nm gold nanoparticles self-assembly were recorded successfully."
As mentioned above, the very stable current controlling and extremely accurate Z-head motion of Park AFM guaranteed the smooth execution of accurate SECCM measurements. "The features include a completely independent Z-direction displacement control, as slow as 0.1 μm s-1 approaching speed, and the less than 1.0 pA weak current detection capability. All of them make the routinely operating SECCM for mapping the nanoscopic surface chemical reaction in our research be possible," adds Liu.
Gen Liu pictured with Park Systems NX 10 at TICNN, Tianjin University
Park AFM Scholarship Gen Liu received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the Department of Science at Northeast University, P. R. China.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon said Tuesday that it killed a leader of the Islamic State group in Syria in a drone strike.
U.S. Central Command said in a news release that Maher al-Agal was killed Tuesday and an unidentified senior official in the Islamic State group was seriously injured. The Pentagon said there were no civilian casualties, though it wasn't possible to immediately confirm that information.
The U.S. carried out the strike outside Jindaris, a town in northwest Syria close to the Turkish border.
The Islamic State group at the height of its power controlled more than 40,000 square miles (103,600 square kilometers) stretching from Syria to Iraq and ruled more than 8 million people. While the group's territorial state collapsed in 2019, its leaders have turned to guerilla tactics and have been able to “efficiently restructure themselves organizationally,” according to the Washington-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a nonpartisan think tank.
The strike on al-Agal comes months after the head of the group, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, killed himself during a raid of his hideout by American special forces. The U.S. said Al-Qurayshi blew himself up along with members of his family.
According to a war monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, al-Agal was a former prominent commander of the Islamic State group during its control of Raqqa and had since moved farther north to Afrin in 2020 under Turkish-backed factions. He was most recently a commander in a Turkish-backed faction called Jaysh Al-Sharqiyyah.
U.S.-led coalition forces have also targeted al-Qaeda-linked militants in Syria over the years. Last month, a U.S. drone strike killed a senior leader of the Horas al-Din group, Abu Hamzah al Yemeni.
The U.S. Central Command has said that violent extremist organizations “continue to present a threat to America and our allies, and that al-Qaeda-affiliated groups have used the rebel-held enclave in northwestern Syria as a safe haven." | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Pentagon-US-killed-ISIS-leader-in-Syria-in-drone-17299243.php | 2022-07-12T15:19:22Z | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Pentagon-US-killed-ISIS-leader-in-Syria-in-drone-17299243.php | true | 17 |

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ilona Khomenko was widowed nearly two months ago when her husband died in fighting in Sievierodonetsk in eastern Ukraine. Now, she’s looking to make a difference on the battlefield.
Khomenko is helping to train soldiers and civilians in combat first aid to help save lives as Russia’s war in Ukraine is well into its fifth month. And she hopes to go to the front line herself one day.
The training is mostly based in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. Up to 100 people attend each day. So far, Khomenko and others have taught more than 5,000 people simple rules that can save their lives.
One of those attending the course is soldier Liudmyla Rohacheva.
“I am currently working in the rear, but there is a possibility that I will get to the front line. And I think that all soldiers should undergo such training,” Rohacheva said during a break between sessions.
The attendees learn to provide sequential care under the MARCH acronym for easy recall: M for massive hemorrhage, A for airway, R for respiratory, C for circulation and H for hypothermia.
“The units we trained have wounded, but they survive. And those units that didn’t undergo training have a much worse ratio of wounded and survivors,” said Oleksandr Khyzhniak, the head of the training center.
The center teaches, for example, how to apply a tourniquet in 25 seconds. Such an action can save a life.
“The machines will not fight alone. We need people to manage it. And these people must be saved,” Khizhnyak said.
The training mimics front-line conditions. At one location, an instructor frantically shouts into a trench: “A sniper is working in the sector. Drag them to safety! Do you want to live?”
It’s a way to immerse trainees in stressful situations that shouldn’t stop them from acting when needed.
Natalia Demchevska, a doctor in the emergency service in the Kyiv region, said she came to the training to learn how to provide first aid in combat conditions. She said she learned many things she didn’t know before, even though she works in medicine.
The center also encourages civilians to get training.
“We live in a war. And we do not know how the circumstances will develop. When a missile comes, it doesn’t choose who to hit,” instructor Maksym Maksymenko said.
On May 23, Khomenko’s husband, Svyatoslav Khomenko, died in fighting. Like many in Ukraine, he left his job and went to war.
Her husband used to send her photos of nature from the front line.
“He went to war because he wanted to save what he loved so much,” Ilona Khomenko said.
Now, in her own way, she hopes to save what she loves too.
She said she had always wanted to go to the front to be closer to her husband. But he was against it, so she enrolled in combat medic courses. Now she’s a volunteer and plans to become an instructor.
If Khomenko could go back in time, she said she would have studied medicine. She realized this while preparing the first-aid kit for her husband at the front.
Despite her grief, she is grateful to fate that she can now help save the lives of other soldiers.
“The best people of Ukraine are in the war. And I want to learn everything that will help me save them,” she said.

Mexican President Directs His 'Countrymen' to Vote Against Texas' Abbott Over Border Policies
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador criticized an American governor last week and encouraged voters to oppose his re-election, raising questions of election interference by foreign governments.
Lopez Obrador took aim at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in a Friday news conference, according to the New York Post.
He objected to an executive order Abbott signed Thursday on returning illegal aliens to the U.S-Mexico border when they’re apprehended by state law enforcement or the Texas National Guard.
Lopez Obrador called for Mexicans who live in the United States to vote against Abbott for his immigration policies — describing American citizens of Mexican heritage as his “countrymen.”
“If there’s a candidate from a party that mistreats immigrants and Mexicans, we’re going to ask our countrymen there that they don’t vote for that candidate or party,” said the socialist president.
By “mistreats” he apparently meant officials who work to make sure illegal immigrants can’t break the law with impunity.
Lopez Obrador also said he was “absolutely sure” that President Joe Biden would oppose Abbott’s plan to combat transnational human and drug smuggling in his own state, according to the Post.
Biden and Obrador are expected to discuss illegal migration in a Tuesday White House meeting.
“Even though we are respectful of the sovereignty of other countries, we see that there are anti-immigrant campaigns for electoral purposes,” Lopez Obrador claimed.
“I consider it immoral, political.”
In 2019, then-President Donald Trump secured a deal with Lopez Obrador in which the Mexican government would work to stem illegal immigrants from Central America heading north to the U.S. border through Mexico.
Texas’ plan has followed a dramatic reduction in immigration enforcement and deportations on the part of the federal government.
Abbott’s plan does not amount to the deportations of illegal immigrants. The migrants are being dropped off at a port of entry on the American side of the border, where theoretically they’ll be detained by the federal Border Patrol.
The Texas Department of Public Safety began loading large groups of illegal aliens on buses on Monday, with the plan to drive them to a federal port of entry.

— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) July 11, 2022
Abbott’s executive order followed instances where Border Patrol declined to take custody of illegal aliens who were arrested by Texas law enforcement.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Harris, in partnership with the Real Estate business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management, unveiled plans today for 600 South Tryon, the fourth office building at the 10-acre Legacy Union mixed-use development in the heart of Uptown Charlotte.
Construction is underway on the 24-story, 415,000-square-foot building, with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2024. In addition to the Class-A office space, 600 South Tryon will feature approximately 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and podium parking, along with conference, co-working and fitness spaces all offering terraces with outdoor access.
Law firm Robinson Bradshaw has signed a lease for approximately 102,000 square feet of space on the top four floors of the building.
"In just a few short years, Legacy Union has helped create a dynamic gateway for Uptown Charlotte," said Johno Harris, president of Charlotte-based Lincoln Harris. "The building and the overall vision of Legacy Union is a tribute to the city of Charlotte – combining a great location and incredible partnerships in a thriving region."
Lincoln Harris is partnering again with Goldman Sachs Asset Management in developing the tower, just as it did with the previous three office buildings at Legacy Union which now total more than 1.5 million square feet of space. LS3P will again provide architectural services, and Gilbane will reprise its role overseeing construction of the building at the northeast corner of the property bounded by Brooklyn Village Avenue and South Tryon Street.
Design is a distinctive feature of the Legacy Union development, and 600 South Tryon will be no exception. The building is envisioned as the "Big Sister" of the existing 650 South Tryon tower, with a contemporary architecture that serves as a visual counterpoint to the more traditional design of the 33-story Bank of America Tower.
Above its two-story base, 600 South Tryon will rise as an all-glass tower, its south façade arcing away from Bank of America Tower just as the 650 façade does on the opposite side. The building's façade gives a nod to Tryon Street with its cantilevered design, creating a dynamic entrance to the Plaza.
To create more visual interest, the 600 tower will step back from its parking podium at the ninth floor, providing terraces overlooking the Plaza and Brooklyn Village Avenue . The building's arcing and sloping penthouse screen caps the tower above 650, completing the overall composition of the Tryon Street block that is Legacy Union.
The building design will include ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) elements that are an ever-growing focus for investors, tenants and developers. From LEED Certification, water and energy efficiencies, air filtration, and touchless building entry to integrated public spaces and a comprehensive amenity center with co-working, meeting and fitness components.
Leasing of the new building is being handled by Ridr Knowlton and Campbell Walker of Lincoln Harris.

A Nelsonville man was sentenced to four and a half years in prison Thursday after pleading guilty in Athens County Common Pleas Court to burglary and receiving stolen property and aggravated possession of drugs.
Tyler Barber, 36, pleaded guilty to a third-degree felony burglary charge in one case and a bill of information in another case that charged a third-degree felony charge of aggravated possession of drugs and a fifth-degree felony of receiving stolen property.
On the burglary charge, Barber was sentenced by Judge George McCarthy to two and a half years in prison. McCarthy ordered two years on the aggravated possession of drugs charge to run consecutively and ordered the total of four and a half years to run concurrent to a year sentence for the receiving stolen property crime.
In February, Barber entered the residence at 8 N. College St. in Athens and stole from Matthew Slowey.
Barber was ordered to pay Slowey $300 in restitution. The following month, Barber did the same at 31 Grosvenor St. in Athens and stole from Madeline Fisher. He was ordered to pay Fisher $50 in restitution.
After the second incident, Barber was located and found in possession of methamphetamine and stolen property.

HAIKOU /China/, July 12. /TASS/. Participants of the annual Western Returned Scholars Association (WRSA) conference and the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summit discussed Hainan's potential in developing knowledge-intensive industries and supported the growth of the province's innovation sector. This was reported by the Hainan Daily newspaper.
"I hope that cooperation between educational institutions and enterprises will allow for the interests of industry development to be taken into account and products based on verified developments in artificial intelligence will be presented in the Hainan market," the publication cites Hainan University professor Wang Zhaohui as saying. According to the expert, smart technology will "give more luster" to the development of China's southernmost region.
According to his colleague Sun Haiquan of Zhejiang University's Hainan Institute, the province has "shown continuous growth in innovative technology" over the past two years, and he therefore has full confidence in the successful development of the regional free trade port. "We will use our own advantages to actively cooperate between scientific institutions and the manufacturing sector," the scientist stressed.
Many participants expressed their interest in promoting promising local projects in tourism, modern services, advanced technology and high-efficiency tropical agriculture. "The cultural segment of the Hainan market has great potential and wide prospects," said association member Sun Hongtao, who oversees cooperation with the PRC and the Republic of Korea. "The free trade port is developing more and more quickly, so there are even more favorable opportunities for many of those who have returned to China after studying abroad."
The annual WRSA conference was first held in 2012, bringing together representatives from both academia and business. Thanks to these events, Hainan has launched more than 400 investment projects worth 1.22 billion yuan (about $181 million at current exchange rates). | https://tass.com/economy/1478997 | 2022-07-12T15:37:36Z | https://tass.com/economy/1478997 | false | 1 |
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on China to comply with a 2016 arbitration ruling that invalidated Beijing's vast territorial claims in the South China Sea and warned that Washington is obligated to defend treaty ally Philippines if its forces, vessels or aircraft come under attack in the disputed waters.
Blinken’s statement, issued by the U.S. Embassy in Manila on Tuesday, was released on the sixth anniversary of the 2016 decision by an arbitration tribunal set up in The Hague under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea after the Philippine government complained in 2013 about China’s increasingly aggressive actions in the disputed waters.
China did not participate in the arbitration, rejected its ruling as a sham and continues to defy it, bringing it into territorial spats with the Philippines and other Southeast Asian claimant states in recent years.
“We call again on the PRC to abide by its obligations under international law and cease its provocative behavior,” Blinken said, using the acronym for China’s formal name, the People's Republic of China.
“We also reaffirm that an armed attack on Philippine armed forces, public vessels, or aircraft in the South China Sea would invoke U.S. mutual defense commitments” under the 1951 U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, Blinken said.
There was no immediate reaction from Beijing. But Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told a news conference in Malaysia’s administrative capital of Putrajaya that China is speeding up talks with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which includes the Philippines and three other claimant states, to come up with a nonaggression pact called a “code of conduct” to turn the South China Sea “into a sea of peace and cooperation.”
“We will oppose bloc confrontation and Cold War mentality,” Wang told journalists after meeting his counterpart in Malaysia, the last stop in his five-nation swing through Southeast Asia. He did not take any questions.
In addition to China and the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have had overlapping claims in the busy waterway, where an estimated $5 trillion in goods passes each year and which is believed to be rich in undersea gas and oil deposits.
The potential flashpoint has become a key front of U.S.-China rivalry.
Washington lays no claim to the disputed waters but has deployed Navy ships and Air Force jets to patrol the waterway for decades and says freedom of navigation and overflight is in the U.S. national interest. That has provoked angry reactions from China, which has accused the U.S. of meddling in a purely Asian dispute and warned it to stay away.
Philippine Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo said Tuesday that the arbitration ruling will be a pillar of his new government's policy and actions in the disputed region and rejected attempts to undermine the “indisputable” decision.
“These findings are no longer within the reach of denial and rebuttal and are conclusive as they are indisputable. The award is final,” Manalo said in a statement.
“We firmly reject attempts to undermine it … even erase it from law, history and our collective memories,” said Manalo, who did not directly name China.
New Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. took office June 30 after a landslide electoral victory.
Marcos Jr.’s predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte, put the arbitration ruling on the backburner for years after taking office in 2016 and nurtured cozy ties with Chinese President Xi Jinping while criticizing U.S. security policies.
In 2019, Duterte said he finally asked Xi to comply with the ruling but was flatly told, “We will not budge.”
Marcos Jr. has upheld the arbitration ruling and said he would not allow even one “square millimeter” of Philippine waters to be trampled upon.
But he said in January before winning the presidency that since China has refused to recognize the ruling, Duterte’s policy of diplomatic engagement is “really our only option.”
Dozens of left-wing activists and workers protested in front of the Chinese Consulate in Manila’s Makati financial district on Tuesday, asking Beijing to respect the arbitration ruling and for Marcos Jr. to defend the country’s territory and sovereign rights in the South China Sea.

Night Castle merch includes a hoodie, a beanie cap, a glow-in-the-dark T-shirt and accessories like LED cups, ice-cubes and gaming mousepads
COLUMBUS, Ohio , July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- White Castle has long been a late-night hot spot, the last stop after a fun night, the place to gather for nocturnal cravings. It's a reputation that the 101-year-old family-owned business not only relishes, but also encourages by keeping its castles open late to serve its Cravers morning, noon and night.
In recognition of its standing as the after-hours scene for food and fun, White Castle is introducing Night Castle-branded merchandise and packaging.
Anyone who picks up a 20-Slider Crave Clutch will notice the box sports a new, limited time Night Castle design featuring scary eyes and teeth, turning the normal packaging into a late-night party monster to inspire nighttime merrymaking. Three new collectible soft drink cups will also feature a Night Castle design.
Meanwhile, White Castle's House of Crave online gift shop now offers a line of Night Castle apparel, including socks, a hoodie, a beanie cap, a glow-in-the-dark T-shirt and a Hawaiian shirt, as well as Night Castle accessories like LED cups, LED ice cubes, an LED gaming mousepad, an ice bucket, and a sleep mask.
"When the sun goes down, we're like a beacon of light to our many Cravers looking for good food and good fun after dark," said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle. "Our new Night Castle packaging and merchandise make it more fun than ever to enjoy White Castle at night. We're the late-night food adventure that they've been craving!"
No matter where Cravers live — close to or far from a White Castle — the brand can still be part of their late-night adventures. White Castle's famous sliders — and now their juicy tender white meat chicken rings — are available in the freezer aisles of grocery and other retail stores across the country.
White Castle, America's first fast-food hamburger chain, has been making hot and tasty Sliders as a family-owned business for 101 years. Based in Columbus, Ohio, White Castle started serving The Original Slider® in 1921. Today White Castle owns and operates more than 350 restaurants dedicated to satisfying customers' cravings morning, noon and night and sells its famous fare in retail stores nationwide. The Original Slider, named in 2014 as Time magazine's "Most Influential Burger of All Time," is served alongside a menu of creatively crafted Sliders and other mouthwatering food options, including White Castle's Impossible™ Slider, named by Thrillist in 2019 as the "Best Plant-Based Fast-Food Burger." White Castle's commitment to maintaining the highest quality products extends to the company owning and operating its own meat processing plants, bakeries and frozen-food processing plants. In 2021, 100 years after the first Slider was sold, Fast Company named the fast-food pioneer one of the "10 Most Innovative Dining Companies." White Castle is known for the legendary loyalty of its team members, more than 1 in 4 of whom have worked for White Castle for at least 10 years, and also for its faithful fans ("Cravers"), many of whom compete each year for entry into the Cravers Hall of Fame. The official White Castle app, available at iTunes App Store or Google Play, makes it easy for Cravers to access sweet deals and place pickup orders at any time. They can also have their orders delivered using one of White Castle's delivery partners. For more information on White Castle, visit whitecastle.com.

The work highlights continued progress in relation to two major projects in the Levenmouth area, with the replacement of the Leven Rail Bridge – known locally as the Bawbee Bridge – and the return of rail services to the town in 2024.
Before the existing bridge can be demolished, Openreach engineers need to conduct essential infrastructure works to re-route hundreds of optical fibre circuits.
Temporary traffic lights will therefore be in operation on and around the bridge and some roads will be closed to facilitate safe traffic movements around the works. That could lead to delays and disruption at busy times, and motorists are being urged to plan ahead and leave extra time for their journeys.
The works will be undertaken in two phases, with the first commencing on Monday, July 25, and lasting for around five weeks. To minimise delays, a southbound closure will be implemented on Riverside Road after the Sainsburys roundabout and two-way traffic lights will be in place on the A955.
The second phase, which will again last for around five weeks, will begin on or before Monday, August 29. Again, to minimise delays, an eastbound closure will be in place on Wellesley Road and the southbound closure on Riverside Road will remain. This will allow for the installation of three-way traffic lights.
Traffic lights will be person operated during peak periods to manage the traffic flows as best possible, and the works will be monitored to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum at all times.
Bus services using the routes will also be affected and will be subject to the same delays.
Peter Morrell, Openreach’s project delivery manager, said: “To facilitate the bridge works we need to move phone and broadband cables which currently travel across the old bridge in ducts.
“We’ll be demolishing two existing underground chambers, building new chambers and rerouting these essential cables so we can continue to provide local people and businesses with services.
“We’ve been working closely with Fife Council and are following their advice on traffic management to make sure that safe access can be maintained for bridge users including pedestrians.
“The scale and complexity of work on the bridge – planned for up to 10 weeks – means some disruption to drivers is inevitable, so we’d advise local people to take this into consideration when planning journeys, and our contractors will do all they can to complete work as swiftly as possible.”
Once the telecommunications work is done, the focus will then be on removing and replacing the Leven Rail Bridge – which has been subject to an 18 tonnes weight limit since the 1990s – later this year.
The nature and extent of the work means that the A955 over the River Leven will be closed for up to a year to enable the removal and reconstruction of the bridge.
However, a temporary bridge will be created to minimise disruption for road users and avoid the need for a lengthy five-mile diversion. | https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/transport/traffic-disruption-expected-on-busy-fife-bridge-during-10-weeks-of-work-3765435 | 2022-07-12T15:50:06Z | https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/transport/traffic-disruption-expected-on-busy-fife-bridge-during-10-weeks-of-work-3765435 | true | 1 |

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The Biden administration on Tuesday released two reports arguing that removing dams on the lower Snake River may be needed to restore salmon runs to historic levels, and that replacing the energy created by the dams is possible but will cost $11 billion to $19 billion.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The Biden administration on Tuesday released two reports arguing that removing dams on the lower Snake River may be needed to restore salmon runs to historic levels, and that replacing the energy created by the dams is possible but will cost $11 billion to $19 billion.
The reports were released by the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
“Business as usual will not restore salmon,” said Brenda Mallory, chair of the council. “The Columbia River system is the lifeblood of the Pacific Northwest.”
Many salmon runs continue to decline, which environmentalists blame on dams, Mallory said, and her office is leading multi-agency efforts to restore “abundant runs of salmon to the Columbia River Basin.”
Mallory cautioned that the Biden administration is not endorsing any single long-term solution, including breaching the dams.
On Tuesday, a draft report by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found changes are needed to restore salmon, ranging from removal of one to four dams on the lower Snake River to reintroduction of salmon to areas entirely blocked by dams. A second report studied how power supplies could be replaced if dams are breached.
“These two reports add to the picture — that we are working alongside regional leaders to develop — of what it will take over the decades ahead to restore salmon populations, honor our commitments to Tribal Nations, deliver clean power and meet the many needs of stakeholders across the region,” Mallory said.
More than a dozen runs of salmon and steelhead are at risk of extinction in the Columbia and Snake rivers.
Billions of dollars have been spent on salmon and steelhead recovery, but the fish continue to decline, speakers said, and it is time to try a different approach. Dam breaching is opposed by grain shippers, irrigators, power producers and other river users. Dam supporters blame declining salmon runs on other factors, such as changing ocean conditions.
“We need to go to larger-scale actions,” NOAA scientist Chris Jordan said in a briefing on the report Monday.
“We are at a crucial moment for salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River Basin when we’re seeing the impacts of climate change on top of other stressors,” said Janet Coit, an administrator for NOAA Fisheries.
The issue has percolated in the Northwest for three decades, sparking court fights and political debates over the future of the four dams on the Snake River that environmentalists blame for the decline in salmon and steelhead.
U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, kicked off the latest round of debates in 2021, when he released a plan saying it would cost $34 billion to remove and replace the dams’ services in order to save salmon. U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, both Democrats, are also preparing a report, with their recommendations expected later this summer.
Last month, Murray and Inslee announced that replacing the benefits provided by the four giant hydroelectric dams on the lower Snake River in Washington state would cost $10.3 billion to $27.2 billion.
Breaching the dams would significantly improve the ability of salmon and steelhead to swim from their inland spawning grounds to the Pacific Ocean, where they spend most of their lives, and then back to their original spawning grounds to procreate and die, Murray and Inslee said.
Major benefits of the dams include making the Snake River navigable up to Lewiston, Idaho, allowing barges to carry wheat and other crops to ocean ports. Eliminating the dams would require truck and rail transportation improvements to move crops.
The dams also generate electricity, provide irrigation water for farmers and recreation opportunities for people.
The dams have many supporters, including two GOP members of Congress representing eastern Washington state. The dams are also supported by barge companies, farmers and other business interests. Breaching them would require an act of Congress.
Republican U.S. Reps. Dan Newhouse and Cathy McMorris Rodgers of eastern Washington have introduced a bill to protect the dams, which are located in their districts.
In the late 1800s, up to 16 million salmon and steelhead returned to the Columbia River Basin every year to spawn. Over the next century and a half, overfishing whittled that number down. By the early 1950s, just under 130,000 Chinook were returning to the Snake River.
Construction of the first dam on the lower river, Ice Harbor, began in 1955. Lower Monumental followed in 1969, Little Goose in 1970, and Lower Granite in 1975. The dams stretch from Pasco, Washington, to near Pullman, Washington, and stand between migrating salmon and 5,500 miles (8,850 kilometers) of spawning habitat in central Idaho.
The dams have fish ladders, but too many of the salmon die as they swim through the dams and across slack water reservoirs on their migrations.
In 1991, Snake River salmon and steelhead were listed as endangered species, requiring production of a federal recovery plan. Over the next three decades, environmental organizations sued the federal government six times, arguing that the recovery plan was inadequate.
The U.S. government has spent more than $17 billion trying to recover Snake River salmon, through improvements to fish ladders and other measures, with little to show for it.

Dial® continues to support teachers through a back to school marketing campaign
STAMFORD, Conn., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dial®, a trusted brand of almost 75 years, continues to better the lives of consumers through its long-standing history of supporting handwashing education and healthy hygiene habits. Giving back to its community and committing to a social purpose has always been important to Dial, and this year the brand is building on their efforts from previous years by continuing to lend a helping hand to teachers.
For the second year in a row, Dial has partnered with DonorsChoose, an education-focused nonprofit that allows individuals to support public schools. In 2022, Dial will be donating $100,000 to health and wellness projects and 20,000 bottles of hand soap to public school classrooms to enable teachers to promote healthy hygiene habits in their classrooms.
Dial will strengthen the brand's commitment to supporting teachers through a collaboration with TeacherLists, an organization that makes it easier than ever to create, share, and shop school supply lists. In 2022, Dial will provide 21,000 hand soap bottles to teachers through teacher appreciation month, PTO events, and teacher gift packs.
"At Dial, we will continue to make a meaningful difference by working with organizations who share like-minded values with a goal to drive positive impact on the lives of our consumers," says Nicole Vigue, Marketing Director at Henkel. "We are honored to partner with TeacherLists and DonorsChoose, as it allows us to work directly with teachers and gives us the opportunity to show them our appreciation. We are happy to support teachers through this collaboration to help foster healthy handwashing education and give them access to resources and tools they need to support themselves and their students."
"After another unpredictable year, it's more important than ever to show teachers the appreciation they deserve," said Charles Field, CEO of School Family Media. "Teachers influence everyone in their community, from students to parents to other teachers, and we are thrilled that Dial is joining in our mission to support them. In May, Teacher Appreciation Month, School Family Media activated its trusted network of PTO and PTA school community influencers to enthusiastically provide special gifts from Dial, along with other category leading brands, to 100,000 teachers at 2,000 schools across the US."
Dial also enlisted the support of its recently announced Count on Clean Crew to help spread the news about Dial's collaborations with DonorsChoose and TeacherLists. The Count on Clean Crew consists of experts in their field who will continue to communicate Dial's brand mission and initiatives to promote healthy hygiene habits. One such member is Arielle Fodor, or as she is affectionately known on social media, Mrs. Frazzled. Dial is thrilled to enlist Arielle's support as she shares the brand's activations and encourages her audience to get involved on her social channels @mrs.frazzled.
Dial is proud to help support the wellbeing of teachers, students, and their classrooms with the help of DonorsChoose and TeacherLists.

Skift Take
If Hoxton hotels and Airbnb had children together, they might be spacious rental apartments that have eclectic furniture and on-site staff. Edyn, one of a few players in this segment in Europe, suggests the market potential.
Extended-stay hotel brands have boomed in the U.S. and Asia during the past few years. But Europe has relatively less inventory for hotels that serve guests staying between a few nights and a few months.
Aiming to fill this gap is Edyn, a UK-based group that runs apartment hotels with eye-catching decor. Blackstone, the world’s largest asset manager, has in the past year joined KSL Capital Partners in providing more than $350 million (£300 million) in loans via a multi-asset debt facility to help Edyn grow.
“We’re taking elements of the lifestyle hotels and merging them with serviced apartments that we mostly build from the ground up,” said Andrew Fowler, acquisitions director at Edyn.
Blackstone’s bet on Edyn is small when compared with its $6 billion takeover, along with Starwood Capital, of U.S.-based Extended Stay America, announced a year ago. But Blackstone, which has long invested in hotels, appears to be interested in extended-stay’s applicability in Europe, given the Edyn deal.
Edyn’s brands include Locke and Cove, with about a dozen properties and more than 2,000 guestrooms in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, and (soon) Switzerland. It plans to add about a half dozen properties in the next two to three years.
Money Talks in Extended Stay
Edyn targets a more boutique niche of the extended-stay segment. The gross operating profit for Edyn’s properties can reach the 65 percent range in strong markets, said Eric Jafari, chief development officer and group co-founder.
“A guest who stays between 7 and 28 days reduces all the costs related to churn, such as housekeeping and laundering the linens, compared with a guest staying just a couple of nights,” Jafari said.
That reality means the operator can afford to lower the rate it charges guests who stay longer because they’re effectively more profitable, while still providing “lifestyle” touches.
Edyn’s executives believe they can deliver a property that feels like a lifestyle hotel but runs at lower cost. A “less is more” aesthetic helps keeps budgets tight.
They claim its Locke brand has an average FF&E [furniture, fixtures, and equipment costs] of more than half that average at lifestyle hotels. The Locke brand keeps costs down by cutting out middlemen. It seeks bespoke pieces in volume deals direct from designers, such as Carl Hansen and Ozzio Italia.
Savviness about how to set rates for guests can also help support profitability.
“If you have good revenue management and you charge the right rate relative to the length of stay, you can get as high as 68 percent GOP [gross operating profit],” Fowler said.
Competitors Eye Extended Stay Hotels
Other players offering apartment hotels with eclectic decor include Native, Zoku, Wilde, and Lakestar-backed Limehome.
Preparing a property for extended-stay guests is harder than it looks. Vacasa, which is hoping to convert some of its homes to stays for 30 days or longer, has discovered this.
“It might sound like you flip a switch,” said Vacasa CEO Matthew Roberts during a recent JPMorgan investor conference. “You don’t just flip a switch. There’s lots of compliance. There are legal constructs. There are landlord-tenant laws that kick in, in certain geographies.”
An Unlikely Bet on Asset Heavy
Edyn thinks it can compete better than most rival operators in boutique extended stay because it does everything under one umbrella in an asset-heavy model — sharply contrasting with industry trends toward asset-light approaches.
“The brand, the development team, the operations, the design, and so on is all done internally,” Jafari said. “That means you don’t have, for example, a landlord trying to squeeze every bit of profit out of the deal at the expense of the operator’s brand promise.”
By going asset-heavy, Edyn also will on focus on launching about a handful of hotels a year. This focused execution will help it keep costs down.
“We made a decision very early on not to work with hotel designers,” Jafari said. “We instead hunt for up-and-coming, food-and-beverage designers who have demonstrated they can create unique local spaces with big followings on tight budgets and small teams.”
Savviness about local rate trends based on truly relevant comparison properties can also help support profit.
“If you have good revenue management and you charge the right rate relative to the length of stay, you can get as high as 68 percent GOP [gross operating profit],” Fowler said.
Avoiding expensive hotel designers is another Edyn tactic.
“We made a decision very early on not to work with hotel designers,” Jafari said. “We instead hunt for up-and-coming, food-and-beverage designers who have demonstrated they can create unique local spaces with big followings on tight budgets and small teams.”
U.S. Brands May Struggle in Europe
Edyn’s leadership claim that U.S. companies — such as Marriott International — have struggled in the past 15 years to export their extended-stay brands to Europe as fast as they had hoped.
The owners, developers, and operators working on big brand projects often stumble on the customizations required to adapt to local market regulations, tastes, and pricing, the executives claimed.
“We learned the hard way in building our Locke brand that different cultures have different expectations about extended stay,” Fowler said. “In each market, it can take at least six months to learn the local regulations, for example.”
All the local quirks can imperil brands seeking to impose global brand standards, Edyn’s executives claimed.
“In Paris, it’s long-established that a 25-square-meter unit is massive,” Folwer said, giving an example. “But in the UK, corporate travelers traditionally get a 41-square-meter unit. In Milan, the minimum square footage regulatorily allowed for an apartment with a kitchen is about 28 square meters. In Zurich, we discovered that, according to local code, half of our units couldn’t have kitchens. In some markets, you have to be a derivative of a residential product, while in others, you have to be a derivative of a commercially based product. And on and on.”
Social Programming in Extended Stay
Remote workers and frequent corporate travelers often battle loneliness. Edyn aims to address this with what it calls social programming. While many lifestyle hotels talk about creating activities and experiences, Edyn says it’s easier to engage guests when they’re staying at a property for longer, as they do in extended-stay properties.
The Locke brand of properties holds weekly workshops and activities, such as wine tasting, food masterclasses, mini-concerts, collage, yoga, running, and terrarium building, that are curated by the local team. None of this programming is standard in traditional serviced apartments. Edyn’s executives believe that social programming, and perks such as free access to co-working spaces on a first-come, first-served basis, can help the brands stand out in the market and earn repeat business.
Edyn plans to open a half-dozen Locke-branded properties in the next few years. That might not sound like much, but because the group is asset-heavy and takes all the revenue, it could earn a multi-billion euro valuation within a couple of years, executives said. No wonder Blackstone has shown interest.

A 53-year-old man in Oklahoma is behind bars this week after he allegedly killed his friend while the two were noodling and blamed the attack on the other man summoning Bigfoot, authorities say. Larry Sanders was taken into custody over the weekend and charged in connection with the death of Jimmy Knighten.
According to a press release from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI), agents on July 10 responded to a request for assistance from the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and the Pontotoc County Sheriff’s Office regarding a possible homicide. Authorities said Sanders had confessed that he and Knighten on July 9 were noodling in the South Canadian River when “a confrontation ensued.” Sanders allegedly admitted to “striking and strangling” Knighten, ultimately killing the other man, who was reportedly his friend.
“Noodling” is a type of fishing in which a person submerges themself in a body of water and uses their bare hands to catch a fish — typically a catfish — by sticking their arm into the fish’s mouth. The method is primarily practiced in the southern United States.
The investigation into Knighten’s death led detectives to uncover a possible mythological motive for the attack.
According to a report from Ada, Oklahoma NBC affiliate KTEN, when deputies first responded to a 911 call on Saturday, July 9, they arrived as Sanders was telling a member of his family that he had just killed Knighten. Sanders then spoke to detectives and allegedly blamed the attack on Knighten calling upon Bigfoot.
“So, his statement was that Mr. Knighten had summoned ‘Bigfoot’ to come and kill him, and that’s why he had to kill Mr. Knighten,” Sheriff John Christian reportedly told the station. Sheriff Christian reportedly added that when he spoke to deputies, Sanders “appeared to be under the influence of something.”
Knighten’s body was discovered by sheriff deputies on Sunday, July 10, per the press release.
Despite Sanders’ alleged confession, Sheriff Christian reportedly said that investigators were now working towards proving that Sanders was responsible for Knighten’s death.
“It always makes it easier,” Sheriff Christian reportedly told the station. “You still have to prove all the elements of the crime, and what the suspect is telling you, you have to prove that that’s actually what happened.”
Sanders was initially arrested on Saturday and booked on an outstanding warrant charge. However, after authorities discovered Knighten’s body, Sanders was charged with one count of first-degree murder.
OSBI stated that the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy on Knighten’s body to determine the manner and cause of death.
Sanders, who is listed in court records under an Atwood, Oklahoma address, is currently being held at the Pontotoc County Jail, per OSBI.
If found guilty of first-degree murder, Sanders could face the death penalty.
The Pontotoc Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to messages from Law&Crime seeking additional information in connection with the case.
The full affidavit does not yet appear in an Oklahoma court database. The case appears to be assigned to docket number CF-2022-00139 in Pontotoc County.

The Delhi High Court Tuesday said a serious view needs to be taken of incidents of false cases filed against husbands and their entire families to ensure that social fabric is not ruined and if such acts are allowed, it may lead to further misuse of the process of law. The court's observations came in a matter where a false incident of the suicide of a woman was reported and a case of cruelty under provisions of dowry law was lodged against her in-laws and husband who was also incarcerated. It noted that while the woman was alive, false information regarding her suicide was given after which a case was lodged against her in-laws and her husband was arrested. While a case for the alleged offences of cruelty, abduction to murder, and provisions of the Dowry Prohibition Act was registered against the husband and in-laws, another FIR was filed by the man's mother alleging that to extort money from them, his wife hatched a conspiracy with her family members and planned her disappearance from the matrimonial house and gave false information of her suicide. In the present case, the woman's brother approached the high court seeking anticipatory bail in the cheating and conspiracy FIR lodged against him and his family. The high court, however, denied anticipatory bail to him considering the grave nature of the allegations and the fact that criminal proceedings under Section 364 (kidnapping or abduction in order to murder) IPC were falsely initiated in connivance. “A bare perusal of aforesaid factual position reveals that to wreak vengeance for oblique motive, the incident of alleged suicide was fabricated. The same not only led to ignominy, adverse media coverage, and misery for the family of the complainant but also resulted in undue incarceration of the woman's husband. “The criminal proceedings were initiated as a gross abuse of the process of law. The implication and consequences of such conduct may not have been fully visualised by the petitioner at the aforesaid time but the uncalled-for detention of the woman's husband definitely ruined the chances of settlement. The law appears to have been used as a weapon than a shield by fabricating the incident of disappearance and suicide,” Justice Anoop Kumar Mendiratta said. The judge further said, “I am of the considered view that a serious view needs to be taken of such incidents to ensure that social fabric is not ruined by such fabrication of facts. If false implication by fabricated omnibus allegations against entire family in the course of matrimonial disputes and differences, is allowed, it may lead to further misuse of the process of law and assume serious proportions.” The high court noted that interim protection from arrest to the woman has already been denied during the pendency of her anticipatory bail in the cheating case. “At this stage, it cannot be ignored that the woman was in touch with the family members during the aforesaid period and consequently her husband Kumar remained in custody. Also, the matter appears to have been highlighted in media on the basis of the alleged suicide note, which the prosecution seeks to recover,” it said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2660603243799/padres-profar-collapses-after-collision-taken-off-on-cart | 2022-07-12T16:08:58Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2660603243799/padres-profar-collapses-after-collision-taken-off-on-cart | true | 12721 |
Margaret Atwood, author of the dystopian novel "The Handmaid's Tale," has shared her thoughts on the dissolution of Roe v. Wade with four small words and a coffee cup.
The writer posted a photo on Instagram of herself sitting in a chair, holding a mug with the phrase, "I told you so."
In case her meaning were to be misconstrued, her caption reads "Coffee in Nova Scotia with appropriately sloganed coffee cup ..."
As laws regulating female bodies have proliferated over the last few years, Atwood has become an unanticipated pop prophet of sorts. Her 1985 novel tells of Gilead, a fascist theocratic America in which women are used as breeding sows for upper class families. A Hulu adaptation that first aired in 2017 brought the bleak story even further into the cultural conversation.
People dressed in the iconic red robes and white bonnets from the story have been a staple at public demonstration from women's marches during Donald Trump's presidency to recent abortion rights protests after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade.
Atwood admits she didn't imagine her work of fiction would ever be so closely compared to reality.
"You write these books so they won't come true," she told People in 2017.
However, the subjugation and sexual coercion of women have always been a deeply engrained truth in American history. There was nothing fictional about the experiences of Black women under chattel slavery, nor is there anything fictional about the experience of women in poverty, immigrants, Indigenous people, LGBTQ people, children and others who are disproportionately at risk for sexual exploitation and abuse.
Atwood has been a vocal supporter of reproductive rights. After her Instagram post, she clarified her position even further on Twitter: "When HandmaidsTale came out in 85, there was disbelief. I thought a religious-right takeover was possible in the US, and was Crazy Margaret. Premature, but unfortunately too close. That doesn't make me happy."

New York researchers transplanted pig hearts into two brain-dead people over the last month, the latest in a string of developments in the long quest to one day save human lives with animal organs.
The experiments announced Tuesday come after a historic but failed attempt earlier this year to use a pig's heart to save a dying Maryland man — sort of a rehearsal before scientists try again in the living.
Among the lessons: Practice with the deceased is important.
“We learned so much from the first one that the second one is much better,” said Dr. Nader Moazami, who led the operations at NYU Langone Health. “You stand there in awe” when the pig heart starts to beat in a human body.
This time around, Moazami's team mimicked how heart transplants routinely are done. Once last month and once last week, researchers traveled to a facility housing genetically modified pigs, removed the needed hearts, put them on ice and flew them hundreds of miles back to New York.
They used special new methods to check for any worrisome animal viruses before sewing the heart into the chest of each deceased recipient — a Vietnam veteran from Pennsylvania with a long history of heart disease and a New York woman who’d benefited from a transplant earlier in life.
Then came three days of more intense testing than living patients could tolerate — including frequent biopsies of the organ — before doctors disconnected life support.
Already the Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to allow a small number of Americans who need a new organ to volunteer for rigorous studies of either pig hearts or kidneys. NYU Langone is among three transplant centers planning trials — and has a meeting planned with the FDA in August to discuss requirements.
Testing in the deceased could help fine-tune how the first trials in the living are designed, said Dr. David Klassen of the United Network for Organ Sharing, which oversees the nation’s transplant system.
“They serve as an important sort of stepping stone,” said Klassen, who wonders if researchers next might consider tracking the organs for a week or so in a donated body rather than just three days.
Animal-to-human transplants, what scientists call xenotransplantation, have been tried for decades without success, as people's immune systems almost instantly attacked the foreign tissue. Now, pigs are being genetically modified so their organs are more human-like — increasing hope that they might one day help fill a shortage of donated organs. More than 100,000 people are on the national waiting list for a transplant, most of them kidney patients, and thousands die every year before their turn comes.
The most ambitious attempt so far came in January, when doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center transplanted a pig heart into a dying 57-year-old. David Bennett survived for two months, evidence that xenotransplantation was at least possible. But initial testing missed that the organ harbored an animal virus. What caused Bennett’s new heart to fail and whether that virus played any role still isn’t known, the Maryland researchers recently reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Months earlier, the NYU team and researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham separately were testing pig kidney transplants in the deceased, people who’d donated their bodies for science.
NYU's recent heart experiments will add to the evidence as the FDA decides whether to allow formal studies in living patients.
But NYU Langone’s Dr. Robert Montgomery, a kidney transplant surgeon who received his own heart transplant, said continuing careful experiments in the deceased is critical to figuring out the best methods “in a setting where a person’s life isn’t at stake.”
“This is not a one-and-done situation. This is going to be years of learning what’s important and what’s not important for this to work,” said Montgomery, who has a list of almost 50 people who’ve called desperate to volunteer for a pig kidney transplant.
The FDA hasn’t signaled how soon it might decide whether to allow such studies. At a recent two-day public meeting, the agency’s scientific advisers said it was time to try despite a long list of questions. They include how best to modify the pigs, as several biotech companies — including Revivicor, which supplied the NYU organs — are pursuing different options.
It's not even clear which organ to attempt first in a clinical trial. If a pig kidney fails, the patient can always survive on dialysis. Yet some of the FDA's advisers said starting with the heart might be better. Experiments with pig kidneys in deceased humans showed the organs produced urine. But still unknown is whether pig kidneys do another important job — processing medications — the same way human kidneys do.

Population explosion 'dangerous for any system': Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi
Population explosion 'dangerous for any system': Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi
New Delhi: Former Union Minister of Minority Affairs and BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Tuesday slammed those opposing population control in the country, saying some people "wish for God's mercy to continue to rain on them" in order to get more votes. Noting population control as an issue supersedes any caste-religion divide, Naqvi said "it was dangerous for any system".
"Population control is an issue which is not associated with any specific caste or religion. It is dangerous for any system, and everyone should work together to overcome this problem. It is improper to indulge in politics over this," Naqvi said while speaking to ETV Bharat. The former cabinet minister added that a change in mindset was crucial for the issue to be tackled.
"More crucial than any law is the necessity to bring about a change in thinking," he said. Speaking on the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code, Naqvi stated: "There is a need to form a consensus among all the political parties as far as the UCC is concerned, it is a constitutional system and the government has to take a decision on it."

This comes after Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and AIMIM supremo Asaduddin Owaisi hit out at the population control suggestions provided by UP CM Yogi Adityanath at an event wherein the latter remarked that 'population imbalance' should not take place. "Anarchy does not arise from the population, but from the destruction of democratic values," Yadav said in a tweet on Tuesday.
"Are Muslims not natives of India? If we see the reality, natives are only tribals & Dravidian people. In UP, without any law, desired fertility rate would be achieved by 2026-2030. Their own health minister said that no law is needed in the country for population control. It's Muslims who're using most contraceptives. The total fertility rate which was 2.6 in 2016 is now 2.3. Country's demographic dividend is best among all countries," Owaisi said while speaking to news agency ANI earlier in the day. | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/national/state/delhi/mukhtar-abbas-naqvi-says-population-explosion-dangerous-for-any-system-slams-opposition-leaders/na20220712212050913913133 | 2022-07-12T16:15:01Z | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/national/state/delhi/mukhtar-abbas-naqvi-says-population-explosion-dangerous-for-any-system-slams-opposition-leaders/na20220712212050913913133 | true | 1 |

Uvalde school shooting hallway video showing delayed police response will be released to victims’ families Sunday
By Rosa Flores and Rosalina Nieves, CNN
The Texas House committee investigating the Uvalde school shooting plans to release hallway surveillance of the police response to the massacre to victims’ families on Sunday and to the public soon thereafter, state Rep. Dustin Burrows said on Twitter.
“We will meet with members of the community first, and provide them an opportunity to see the hallway video and discuss our preliminary report. Very soon thereafter, we will release both to the public,” said Burrows, the chairman of the committee. “We feel strongly that members of the Uvalde community should have the opportunity to see the video and hear from us before they are made public.”
The intention of the committee and its professional staff is to meet with the families of the 21 victims in private in Uvalde and provide them with a hard copy of the preliminary report and a link to the video, a source close to the committee said. The committee is also planning to answer questions from the families about the findings, the source said.
The video is expected to offer primary evidence of what responding police were doing when a gunman opened fire inside adjoining elementary school classrooms on May 24, fatally shooting 19 young students and two teachers. Law enforcement officers arrived at the scene within minutes but waited in a nearby hallway for about 77 minutes before they breached the door and killed the gunman.
What officers were doing in those 77 minutes remains largely unclear, and some officials have questioned the trustworthiness of the various investigations working to understand what went wrong that day.
Last month, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Director Col. Steven McCraw criticized that delay as an “abject failure,” in part citing evidence from the hallway surveillance video. Some images from the video were obtained by the Texas Tribune and Austin American-Statesman and showed that officers had tactical gear and significant firepower — including rifles and a tactical shield — well before they ultimately breached the door.
Burrows has pushed for the release of the video to the public amid scrutiny of the police response.
“I can tell people all day long what it is I saw, the committee can tell people all day long what we saw, but it’s very different to see it for yourself, and we think that’s very important,” Burrows said.
However, he said last week he was prohibited from doing so because he signed a nondisclosure agreement with DPS. He also released a letter in which DPS said that it agrees that the video will bring “clarity” to what happened but explained that the Uvalde district attorney “has objected to releasing the video.”
CNN has requested comment from Uvalde District Attorney Christina Mitchell Busbee on Friday and on Sunday about why she objects to the release of the video, but has not heard back.
What the video and report will show
The video and preliminary report are expected to clarify what police were actually doing as they waited in the hallway and will contradict earlier public statements and official reports.
For example, a report just last week from the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center stated that an armed Uvalde police officer spotted the gunman outside the school and asked for permission to shoot.
However, the source close to the committee said this account is not true and did not happen. Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin also refuted the account as untrue.
And on Monday night, the assistant director of ALERRT, John Curnutt, said their findings were based on two statements from an officer that were then contradicted by a third statement.
“At the time we released our initial after-action, the information we had on this particular officer came from the officer’s two previous statements given to investigators,” he said in a statement. “We were not aware that just prior to us releasing our initial after-action, the officer gave a third statement to investigators that was different from the first two statements.”
In addition, the hallway video of the response is “wrenching,” said Tony Plohetski, a reporter for the Austin American-Statesman who has watched the surveillance footage.
The video begins shortly after the gunman entered the school at 11:33 a.m. In the video, the 18-year-old gunman enters a classroom and “you hear a hail of gunfire,” Plohetski said. Minutes later, a group of law enforcement officers arrive at the room and there is another exchange of gunfire.
“You see the police officers actually getting blown back. One of them actually touches his head,” and suspects an injury, he said.
Over the next hour of the video, officers converge on the scene and gear up with helmets, assault rifles, ballistic shields, and tear gas canisters. But they do not take action.
“Essentially they stand there for an hour as these minutes tick by,” he said. “It’s not until 12:50 that we then see those police officers move to that classroom, breach the door, and take down the gunman.”
The reporter said the video intensifies questions about the response from local, state and federal agencies on scene.
“As to why it was handled the way it did and why the police did not move with a greater sense of urgency, I don’t think we’ve gotten to the truth of that yet,” he said.
“This video, once it is finally made public, is going to be very disturbing to many people and, I think, really deepen the tragedy that happened that day.”

Kentucky Teens Face Second Murder Charge in Yet Another Teen’s Death
WHEN WILL IT END?
Two Kentucky teenagers are facing new murder charges for the fatal Thanksgiving Day shooting of 15-year-old Cortez Duncan, the Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office said Monday. Demaurion Lakeith Moore and Mekhi Duane Cable, both 16, were previously arrested for allegedly shooting and killing 16-year-old Tyree Smith and injuring two bystanders in a September drive-by at a school bus stop, as well as a separate, nonfatal shooting in March 2021, according to the attorney’s office. Early Nov. 25, Duncan was shot and taken to the hospital, where he died shortly after arriving from multiple gunshot wounds. Moore and Cable are both facing the same 15 charges, including two counts of murder, criminal attempt murder, tampering with physical evidence and first and second degree assault, according to the attorney’s office. Moore is also being charged with possession of a defaced firearm. The pair are being charged as adults and will appear for their pre-trial conference on Aug. 19. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/kentucky-teens-demaurion-moore-and-mekhi-cable-face-a-second-murder-charge-in-cortez-duncans-death | 2022-07-12T16:18:34Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/kentucky-teens-demaurion-moore-and-mekhi-cable-face-a-second-murder-charge-in-cortez-duncans-death | false | 1 |

A celebration of life for legendary Attleboro area athlete Dave Hardt, 74, will be held on Sunday at the Attleboro Elk's Lodge on July 16.
The service will run from noon to 4 p.m. In place of flowers, those attending the celebration of Hardt will be asked to being a story about "Big Dave."
Hardt was a 1966 Attleboro High graduate and is regarded as one of the most storied athletes in school history. One of the faces of Attleboro's "Mount Rushmore of Sports," Hardt was an All-American talent that earned a scholarship to play football at University of Kentucky and was eventually honored as part of the first class of inductees for the Attleboro High Hall of Fame in the 1990's.
Despite playing offensive tackle and defensive end, he set NCAA Div. I records as a punter. His work as a punter earned him a chance to play professionally with the New England Patriots in 1971 after getting drafted in that year's draft, but a knee injury derailed a promising NFL future before it began.
After Hardt's professional playing days were over, he enjoyed success in men's softball leagues as a home-run hitting threat. Outside of the sporting world and later in life he worked with Attleboro's District Court as a court officer and was an avid gardener.
Hardt is survived by his two daughters, Sallianne Burgess and Rebecca Hardt, his wife Linda Hardt and his stepdaughter Sherri Veins Forrester. He is also survived by six grandchildren and one great grandchild. A story from Mark Flanagan celebrating Hardt will be run in Saturday's edition of The Sun Chronicle. | https://www.thesunchronicle.com/sports/local_sports/attleboro-athletics-legend-hardt-to-be-celebrated-on-sunday/article_e391b4d5-f0b8-5102-b4c6-0861845f31ec.html | 2022-07-12T16:25:09Z | https://www.thesunchronicle.com/sports/local_sports/attleboro-athletics-legend-hardt-to-be-celebrated-on-sunday/article_e391b4d5-f0b8-5102-b4c6-0861845f31ec.html | false | 2 |
Abbott Elementary Is at the Top of the Class in 2022 Emmy Nominations
Quinta Brunson's Abbott Elementary had a golden morning on Tuesday when nominations for the 74th Emmy Awards were announced.
Among its seven nods on Tuesday, Abbott scored nominations for outstanding comedy series, outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for Brunson (who also scored a writing nomination for the pilot), outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for Tyler James Williams.
Brunson, 32, is the star, executive producer and creator of Abbott Elementary, which also stars Williams, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lisa Ann Walter, Janelle James and Chris Perfetti.

The mockumentary-style sitcom premiered in December 2021 and follows a group of Philadelphia-based teachers working at one of the worst-ranked schools in the country.
Its first season earned a rare 100% critics' score from Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the review aggregation site's highest-rated television shows.
"Abbott Elementary earns top marks for its empathetic yet sidesplitting critique of the U.S. education system, plus some extra credit for a deftly handled will-they-won't-they dynamic," Rotten Tomatoes said about the series.

Brunson, who plays second-grade teacher Janine Teagues, previously reflected on what it felt like when her acclaimed series became an overnight sensation.
"To have only had a few episodes [air] and just for it to be an abundance of love, conversation, and just enjoyment of the show is just so, like, I don't know. I am just so happy, so overwhelmed," she told Harper's Bazaar in January. "It was weird to feel like I had to pull back from Twitter because of too much positivity. I was like, 'I don't know what to do with so many nice messages and nice comments.'"

Lily James is unrecognisable in new Versace campaign
The actor has said that she finds the process of transformation ‘liberating’
Lily James is unrecognisable in a series of new photographs shared as part of the new Versace campaign.
Swapping her wavy brown locks for a poker-straight, jet-black cut with a blunt fringe, the 33-year-old actor can be seen posing in dark purple lipstick and red and black latex gloves.
In an image shared to her Instagram, the Baby Driver actor can be seen wearing a black low-cut corset, elbow-length gloves and holding a black Versace handbag from the luxury fashion house’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection.
“Thank you @donatella_versace for setting me free with your Greca Goddess bag”, she captioned the post. “In Italy. In @versace. I live for this. Love you @mertalas and @macpiggott unbelievable to work with you. Doesn’t get any better than this.”
Both fans and celebrity friends flocked to comment on the radical transformation.
Poppy Delevingne wrote: “Oh LILS. 🔥.” Lily Collins wrote: “😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥 yes girl!” while Lashana Lynch simply wrote: “YOU WHAT?!! 🔥🔥🔥.”
Donatella Versace added: “You are perfection! Absolutely STUNNING.”
In another picture shared to the designer’s Instagram page, James can be seen wearing an ankle-length red dress with ruching detail and red pointed boots, posing next to the 67-year-old.
“When @lilyjamesofficial got in front of the camera she transformed!”, she wrote in the accompanying caption.
“Wearing the collection unlocked her own personal attitude and she took on a new energy and power. That’s exactly how you should feel when wearing Versace! Here are some behind-the-scenes images from when we shot the campaign in the most incredible location in Rome 🇮🇹✨”
The images are just the latest in a series of recent transformations by the London-born actor.
James, who recently portrayed Pamela Anderson in Disney+ 's Pam & Tommy, revealed earlier this year that she spent around four hours each day in hair and makeup in order to transform herself into the Baywatch star.
Speaking to Porter, the actor, who had to wear a prosthetic bodysuit for filming, said: “I’ve never done anything where I look very different from myself before.
“Slowly, our incredible team found a balance where I resembled Pamela but also felt like I could act through it.”
She added that she found the transformative element of the job “liberating”.
She said: “I’d really like to continue in this vein, because I felt there was something very freeing and liberating in it. There was a bravery that came from that. A courage that came from… disappearing.”

Sir John Major has criticised senior Conservative MPs for failing to speak out against Boris Johnson, saying they had left the UK “damaged”.
Appearing before a House of Commons committee on Tuesday, the former prime minister said the Government had “broken the law” and risked “pulling our constitution into shreds”.
He said: “What has been done in the last three years has damaged our country at home and overseas and I think has damaged the reputation of Parliament as well.
“The blame for these lapses must lie principally – principally, but not only – with the Prime Minister, but many in his Cabinet are culpable too and so are those outside the Cabinet who cheered him on.
“They were silent when they should have spoken out and then spoke out only when their silence became self-damaging.”
Inquiry
Sir John made his comments at a meeting of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee as part of its inquiry into ethics and propriety in Government.
Reading an opening statement to the committee, Sir John said: “I think the whole country knows the litany.
“The Government has broken the law, unlawfully tried to prorogue Parliament, ignored the nationwide lockdown by breaking its own laws in Downing Street and tried to change parliamentary rules to protect one of their own.
“That isn’t intended to be an exclusive list and it isn’t, but the damage from that is widespread and beyond Parliament.”
Democracy under threat
He also warned that democracy was threatened by lapses in ethical standards, with the UK “at the top of a slope”.
He said: “In the four countries of the United Kingdom we take democracy for granted. We shouldn’t.
“If you look around the world you will find it’s in retreat in many countries and has been for 10 to 15 years or more and it looks like that’s going to continue.
“Democracy is not inevitable. It can be undone step by step, action by action, falsehood by falsehood. It needs to be protected at all times and it seems to me that if our law and our accepted conventions are ignored then we are on a very slippery slope that ends with pulling our constitution into shreds.”
Arguing for changes to the codes of conduct governing ministers’ behaviour, he added: “Bad habits, if they become ingrained, can become precedent and precedent can carry bad habits on for a very long time and it shouldn’t be permitted to do so.”

Those “six degrees of Kevin Bacon” are about to get a lot shorter for contestants on a forthcoming quiz show.
ABC Audio has confirmed the famously-connected actor will headline and co-produce Lucky 13, from the creators of the one-time phenomenon Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?
Billed as a “60-minute high-stakes general knowledge” show with the “simplicity of Millionaire,” the Studio 1-produced show will air all over the world, with the actor hosting in some international English-speaking markets.
Calling it “addictive fun,” in a statement, Bacon noted, “I played the game and I was hooked. It’s not only about how much you know, but it’s also about how much you think you know…”
The show’s creators, Claudia Rosencrantz and Adrian Woolfe, dreamt up Millionaire and brought it to just about every country on the planet; Famously, it was a five-night-a-week ratings juggernaut for ABC in the late ’90s, with the late Regis Philbin hosting.
Woolfe explains, “It’s hard to believe that it’s 24 years since we launched Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? It feels like the right time for quiz to enjoy its time in the spotlight once again…”
He added, “Whilst I would not wish to make a direct comparison between the two formats, there’s an engaging simplicity and magnetic tension to Lucky 13 that I hope will keep viewers hooked and on the edge of their seats.”

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Darby continued roaring across the open Pacific Tuesday as a major storm, but it posed no threat to land.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Darby had winds of 125 mph (205 kph) making it a Category 3 hurricane. It had weakened somewhat from peak winds of 140 mph (220 kph), but continued moving west at 16 mph (26 kph).
The storm was located more than 1,400 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California and was expected to fade to a tropical depression before nearing Hawaiian longitudes at the weekend.
Darby was relatively small, with hurricane-force winds extending outward only about 10 miles (20 kilometers) from the center. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Hurricane-Darby-weakens-at-bit-in-Pacific-far-17299444.php | 2022-07-12T16:38:47Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Hurricane-Darby-weakens-at-bit-in-Pacific-far-17299444.php | false | null |
Hardeep Puri slams opposition, emphasises 'sense of proportion' on National Emblem above new Parliament building
By ANI | Published: July 12, 2022 09:22 PM2022-07-12T21:22:31+5:302022-07-12T21:30:02+5:30
Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday took a dig at opposition parties over their allegations of "distortion" in the depiction of lions in the National Emblem cast on the roof of the New Parliament Building, saying that the 'experts' should know the difference in size with the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka.
Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday took a dig at opposition parties over their allegations of "distortion" in the depiction of lions in the National Emblem cast on the roof of the New Parliament Building, saying that the 'experts' should know the difference in size with the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka.
He said one needs to appreciate the impact of angle, height and scale when comparing the two structures and if the Sarnath emblem was to be scaled up or the emblem on the new Parliament building is reduced to that size there would not be any difference.
He said that the bronze National Emblem above the new Parliament building was "a perfect replica".
The minister, who made a series of tweets, shared a pictorial representation of the Emblem with measurement and said that the original placed in Sarnath is at ground level while the new emblem is at a height of 33 meters from the ground.
"If an exact replica of the original were to be placed on the new building, it would barely be visible beyond the peripheral rail. The 'experts' should also know that the original placed in Sarnath is at ground level while the new emblem is at a height of 33 meters from the ground," he said.
The Union Minister said that the original Sarnath Emblem is 1.6 meters high whereas the emblem on the top of the new Parliament building is huge at 6.5 meters height.
"Sense of proportion and perspective. Beauty is famously regarded as lying in the eyes of the beholder. So is the case with calm and anger. The original Sarnath Emblem is 1.6 meters high whereas the emblem on the top of the new Parliament building is huge at 6.5 meters height," the minister said.
"One needs to appreciate the impact of angle, height and scale when comparing the two structures. If one looks at the Sarnath emblem from below it would look as calm or angry as the one being discussed. If the Sarnath emblem was to be scaled up or the emblem on the new Parliament building is reduced to that size there would not be any difference," he added.
PM Modi had unveiled the national emblem cast on the roof of the new Parliament building on Monday.
Congress, RJD and Trinamool Congress leaders accused the government of "distorting" the national emblem. The opposition parties also objected to the manner in which the emblem had been unveiled.
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said the Centre should check if the national emblem of Parliament represents "the statue of Great Sarnath" or "is a distorted version of GIR lion". "Please check it and if it needs, mend the same," he said in a tweet.
He said the unveiling event held on Monday has drawn a flurry of questions "including constitutional propriety, let alone democratic values".
Trinamool Congress MP Jawahar Sircar said the depiction of Ashokan lions is " unnecessarily aggressive and disproportionate".
The National Emblem above the New Parliament Building is made of bronze with a total weight of 9500 kg and is 6.5 m in height. It has been cast at the top of the central foyer of the New Parliament Building. A supporting structure of steel weighing around 6,500 kg has been constructed to support the Emblem.
The concept sketch and process of casting of the National Emblem on the roof of the New Parliament Building went through eight different stages of preparation from clay modelling and computer graphics to bronze casting and polishing.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Shot During Campaign Speech
Shinzo Abe, a former prime minister of Japan, was apparently shot during a campaign speech on Friday in Nara, according to the Associated Press and NHK public television.
NHK camera footage showed him collapsed on the street, holding his chest, with the broadcasting corporation reporting that he is experiencing heart failure. Abe was rushed to the hospital by helicopter following the incident and a male suspect has been arrested at the scene on the suspicion of attempted murder, according to NHK. The man is reported to have been a member of the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force until 2005.
Japan’s current prime minister Fumio Kishida has returned by helicopter to his official residence in Tokyo from Yamagata, where he was making a campaign stop. In a statement to the press, Kishida said: “I condemn this act in the strongest possible words” and announced that he would convene a meeting of the cabinet.
Broadcaster TBS says that Abe was hit twice, once in the left chest area and once on the right side of his neck. He remains unconscious and his life is in danger.
Kishida said: “All measures are being taken to save [Abe’s] life.”
Ex-leader, Abe was making a campaign speech ahead of Sunday’s election for Japanese parliament’s upper house.
Abe was the longest-serving prime minister in Japanese history, having held office from 2006 to 2007 and again from 2012 to 2020. He announced his resignation from the post in August 2020 citing his ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
Despite winning multiple elections, Abe has long been a deeply divisive figure in Japan, due to an ultra-nationalist stance that saw him wanting to revise the country’s pacifist constitution and change the military from its current status as a purely defensive force.
His repeated visits to Tokyo’s Yasukuni shrine, which houses the remains of several war criminals, angered neighbors Korea and China. And under Abe a territorial dispute with Russia was revived.
Abe, the grandson of another former prime minister, has repeatedly spoken of his regrets at not fulfilling all his political goals and in recent months has sought a comeback. He was believed to be campaigning Friday (local time) on behalf of a Liberal Democratic Party candidate.
The attack on Abe undoubtedly comes as a shock to Japan and media coverage has been extensive. Japanese media is describing the incident as an “assassination attempt” and premeditated,” given that the shooter apparently used a home-made gun that would not have been accurate from any great distance.
Japan has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world and has seen reported crime levels dropping steadily since the beginning of the 21st century. Japanese crime figures continued to drop during 2021, the first year of COVID.
While guns are a rarity in Japan, the country has experienced violence. The country recently marked the 27th anniversary of a terror attack on the Tokyo metro system that killed 14 people and injured 6,000. The Aum Shinrikyo cult used Sarin gas, rather than firearms.
In May, Japan released from prison Fusako Shigenobu, a woman once described as “the empress of terror,” who co-founded the Japanese Red Army, a group that carried out armed attacks worldwide in support of the Palestinian cause.
According to Business Insider, if a Japanese person seeks to buy a gun, they must attend classes, pass a written test and achieve more than 95% accuracy on a shooting-range test. They are also subjected to a mental health evaluation and background check, including interviews with friends and family.

Top 10 funny comic books | Luke Healy
Comics have their roots in comedy – the evidence is in the name. From early woodcut manga to the newspaper strips of the 1890s, people have made use of the joke-telling power of combining words and pictures for centuries. Even today, in the age of the graphic novel, where comics explore heartbreaking true stories and gripping dramas – the humorous potential of the medium still draws those who want to make people laugh.
I do! It’s the impulse that brings me to the dingy, beautiful rooms above London’s pubs a non-sensible number of nights per week. I moved to London to perform comedy five years ago, and the highs and lows of that experience have been addictive. Nothing gets your heart racing like holding an audience’s attention – nothing except dying brutally in front of them as joke after joke finds nothing but silence. There is perhaps no activity with a risk/reward ratio for your self-esteem quite so brutal as standup comedy. And the fascinating world of people who get up and embarrass themselves after work night after night is something worth capturing.
In my new book The Con Artists, I did my best. The book follows Frank, a standup comedian, whose life is thrown into chaos when his childhood friend Giorgio is hit by a bus. But as Frank spends more time with Giorgio to assist in his recovery, he begins to discover that both the lifestyle Giorgio brags about online, and the jokes he himself is telling onstage, may be little more than a collection of lies and half-truths. Though it deals with some heavy subject matter, the lead characters’ senses of humour remain at the forefront (hopefully) showing that there are few tragedies that can’t be reframed into a joke.
The following books cross all sorts of genres and styles, from memoirs about dark subjects to essay collections about modern dating, to reviews of Steven Spielberg’s 2012 film Warhorse. But the one thing they all have in common is a funny person at their core.
1. Today Is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life by Ulli Lust
In 1984, teenage punk Ulli Lust takes off with an acquaintance to hitchhike across Italy for the summer. What follows is a series of events equally joyous, terrifying, heartbreaking and practically unbelievable. But what draws the tale together is Lust’s wry humour. Lust’s depiction of the 1980s punk scene across Europe is both inspiring and alienating – as bursting with freedom and possibility as it is with danger and misogyny. A great example of the power humour has to carry us through our darkest hours.
2. Pyongyang by Guy Delisle
The reigning king of the graphic travel memoir, Delisle has written books about living in Burma, Jerusalem, and China. But none is more intriguing than this tale of time spent in the North Korean capital, managing an animation studio. Delisle’s curiosity and amusement at the country’s bizarre relationship with foreign visitors is equally funny and fascinating. He memorably depicts chaperoned visits to propaganda-filled museums, and the strange happenings at his hotel – all awkwardly co-ordinated to impress him as a visitor.
3. Everything Is Flammable by Gabrielle Bell
One of comics’ best diarists, Bell catalogues the year following a fire that destroyed her mother’s home in rural California. Bell, who lives in New York, makes several trips across the country to help her mother rebuild, while reflecting on her childhood, and their relationship across time. Bell’s inability to connect with other people is the main source of humour here, and the book often juxtaposes her with other misfits as she tries to do her best while battling with anxiety and an absurd world.
4. Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh
No list of funny comics would be complete without this landmark blog/comic/essay collection. Brosh writes about herself with aplomb, capturing an era of manic internet comedy that has influenced hundreds of the artists on social media today. But beyond her well-crafted punchlines, Brosh fills her comics with heart, boldly tackling subjects as different as dog-ownership and depression.
5. My Dirty Dumb Eyes by Lisa Hanawalt
Hanawalt achieves the rare feat of making her drawings themselves funny. Not only are her thoughts and observations about life and media amusing, but every face, every body, every location she draws is infused with comedy. This collection of short comics includes pieces about food, sex, gender, movies and more. Every page turn brings a new delight, coloured by Hanawalt’s charming and offbeat sensibility.
6. Reunion by Pascal Girard
In this book, Girard recounts the perhaps-true, perhaps-not tale of attending his 10-year high-school reunion. His jittery line, and talent for capturing emotion, reveal a man so anxious about the event that he’s willing to go to absurd lengths to impress his former classmates. Girard’s bravery in portraying himself as a very unlikable character is admirable, and brings a certain acidity to this hilarious, awkward and cringe-inducing tale.
7. Snackies by Nick Sumida
For pure laugh out loud gags, it is hard to beat Snackies. In the book, Nick Sumida’s hyper-emotional alter ego character vacillates between manic smiles and devastated tears with brilliant timing. His reflections on millennial life, dating, self-esteem and online communication pack many many laughs into this small package.
8. The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist by Adrian Tomine
Tomine’s retelling of his time working as a cartoonist, and dealing with creeping health anxiety, is very amusing indeed. Tomine explores the fertile comedic ground of what it’s like to be a micro-celebrity – famous only when walking through a comics convention. Grounded, witty and extremely self-effacing, Tomine makes good company on a journey through his fascinating career.

9. Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast
The difficulties of caring for ageing parents are something that many would struggle to find the humour in – but not Roz Chast. Best known for her New Yorker gags, Chast recounts her time caring for her parents at the end of their lives. And she does it as only an expert humourist can – painting brilliantly funny portraits of the people who raised her.
10. On the Camino by Jason
The blank expressions of Jason’s characters somehow amp up his dry, witty observations about the world and its people. Here, Jason recounts his hike on the Camino Santiago de Compostela, a pilgrim path that crosses northern Spain. He crosses paths with other pilgrims, and looks inwards as he makes his way to the ocean, dispensing droll commentary all the way.

Jessie James Decker's four-year-old son Forrest takes photo of dad Eric Decker NAKED in the shower: 'Time to change the code'
Jessie James Decker's son Forrest has some explaining to do.
The four-year-old took a photo of his father Eric Decker, 35, naked in the shower before posting it to Instagram.
In the snap, the young Decker grinned for the camera as his unsuspecting father rinsed off in the background.
'Omg': Jessie James Decker's four-year-old son Forrest posted a photo of his unsuspecting father Eric Decker taking a shower on Monday
The photo was posted to Instagram and garnered thousands of likes before it was taken down.
Jessie was alerted to the R-rated post after a friend sent her a screenshot of it.
By then, it had already received 888 'likes' and 27 comments.
'No I can't stop laughing Jessie. I can't,' she texted Jessie. 'I am not even sure if u know he has his phone but if u don't know go grab,' she added.
'Go grab': A friend alerted Jessie to the snap via text message
'Omg,' Jessie replied.
She posted a screenshot of their text exchange to Instagram, where she added a laughing crying emoji.
'I can't even,' she wrote.
Addressing the kerfuffle on his Instagram Stories, Eric posted: 'Time to change the code... so much for letting Forrest watch his Avengers videos during my shower.'
'Time to change the code': Decker addressed the kerfuffle on his Instagram Stories
Eric didn't seem particularly panicked in his statement, and perhaps that's because fans have already seen him in the buff before.
In September 2020, he shared a photo of himself reading a copy of his wife's new cookbook Just Feed Me naked.
'It’s bigger, better and tastier than what you could ever imagine......I’m talking about my wife’s amazing new cookbook "just feed me" It’s officially out now!' he suggestively captioned the photo.

'What happens in Cabo': Decker posted a photo of her husband in his birthday suit as she celebrated his 35th birthday earlier this year
Jessie also posted a photo of her husband striking a pose in his birthday suit in celebration of his 35th birthday earlier this year.
'The birthday boy In his birthday suit lookin like a statue from Greece,' she captioned the shot, taken in Cabo San Lucas. 'My man is 35 and aging like fine wine. Happy happy birthday to the love of my life, my best friend, my soulmate, my baby daddy, my ride or die. I'm so happy you were born today. I sure do I love growing old with you,' she concluded, along with several hashtags including 'what happens in Cabo.'
The country songstress married Eric in 2013, and last month they celebrated their nine year wedding anniversary during a sun-soaked getaway to Capri, Italy.
'Mi amor. We’ve been looking forward to this for a year, happy anniversary month baby [heart-eyes emoji] 9 years married next week!' she captioned the snap.
Jessie and Eric were introduced by mutual friends and married two years later.
The couple share daughter Vivianne Rose Decker, eight, and sons Eric Decker II, six, and Forrest Bradley.

eaters elevates the traditional pen and paper pub quiz to a participatory game show with the host announcing questions, previews on screen and scores going live using flesh forced software.
Use your own phone (1 per team), download the app on arrival, and get ready to put your relationship with food and farming under the microscope! The hub based speedquiz system means that you won’t need to use your data to play after installing the free app (which clocks in at a measly 17mb).
eaters draws input from farmers working on the front lines, first nations experts, authors, physicists, conservationists, eco-activists and the world of agronomy to question if a change of diet can ensure the future of the planet.

Is Trending Stock The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) a Buy Now?
The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future.
Over the past month, shares of this company have returned +4.5%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -1% change. During this period, the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry, which The Charles Schwab Corporation falls in, has lost 0.3%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction?
While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.
Revisions to Earnings Estimates
Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.
We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
The Charles Schwab Corporation is expected to post earnings of $0.91 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +30%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -1.6%.
The consensus earnings estimate of $3.87 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +19.1%. This estimate has changed -0.5% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $5.06 indicates a change of +30.8% from what The Charles Schwab Corporation is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -0.9%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for The Charles Schwab Corporation.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Projected Revenue Growth
Even though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.
For The Charles Schwab Corporation, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $5.06 billion indicates a year-over-year change of +11.7%. For the current and next fiscal years, $20.95 billion and $24.68 billion estimates indicate +13.1% and +17.8% changes, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise History
The Charles Schwab Corporation reported revenues of $4.67 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -0.9%. EPS of $0.77 for the same period compares with $0.84 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.84 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -3.49%. The EPS surprise was -9.41%.
Over the last four quarters, The Charles Schwab Corporation surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. The company topped consensus revenue estimates two times over this period.
Valuation
No investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.
While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S) and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price.
As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
The Charles Schwab Corporation is graded B on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
Conclusion
The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about The Charles Schwab Corporation. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

The first indication of what the final outcome in the Super League court case might be will come on December 15.
A two-day hearing at the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg concluded on Tuesday afternoon.
The two companies behind the hugely controversial Super League project argue that UEFA and FIFA abused a dominant position under European competition law by blocking the league’s formation and then attempting to sanction the clubs involved.
The Super League was launched on April 18 last year with 12 founder clubs, including the Premier League’s so-called ‘Big Six’, but had collapsed within 72 hours after nine of the 12 had withdrawn amid political pressure and fan outrage.
If UEFA and FIFA are ultimately deemed to have abused a monopoly position by a Grand Chamber of 15 ECJ judges, the ruling has the potential to offer event organisers freedom to operate competitions without the permission of established governing bodies such as UEFA in the future.
The court has confirmed that the written opinion of the Advocate General in the case, Athanasios Rantos from Greece, will be published on December 15, during the men’s World Cup in Qatar.
The Advocate General’s opinion is non-binding, but in many previous cases, the court judges’ final ruling has closely mirrored it, so it could provide a strong indication of the final outcome.
UEFA’s legal team, led by Donald Slater, argued that the governing body’s right to authorise tournaments was necessary to prevent a “free for all” of conflicting competition formats, calendars and standards.
UEFA argued the Super League was “a textbook example of a cartel”.
European football’s governing body said there was no conflict of interest between it being a commercial operator as well as a regulator.
It cited a European Commission report which said that such a dual role was fundamental to “ensure sport serves wider social and societal functions”. | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/07/12/advocate-generals-opinion-on-super-league-court-case-due-on-december-15/ | 2022-07-12T17:00:57Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/07/12/advocate-generals-opinion-on-super-league-court-case-due-on-december-15/ | true | 8 |
Bengaluru, July 12: The FIA has confirmed that Michael Masi, the former controversial Formula 1 race director has left the motorsport governing body for good.
Masi had earlier been removed as F1 race director following a detailed analysis of last year's controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Masi's call to unlap cars between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen to permit one lap of racing, allowing the Red Bull superstar to snatch the title, was widely criticised and it resulted in his subsequent removal from the top job.
Masi removed and VAR in F1? 'New step forward in refereeing' explained
Since then, Masi had remained in with the FIA, but without holding any position.
"The FIA confirms that Michael Masi has decided to leave the FIA and relocate to Australia to be closer to his family and take on new challenges," a statement from FIA said.
"He oversaw a three-year period as FIA Formula 1 Race Director and safety delegate following the sudden passing of Charlie Whiting in 2019, carrying out the numerous functions he was tasked with in a professional and dedicated manner.
"The FIA thanks him for his commitment and wishes him the best for the future," the FIA statement added.
After the Masi fiasco, FIA had revealed its planned to move on from an episode that marred one of the greatest seasons in F1 history.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, himself a pioneer of motorsport in the Middle East and Africa region, had outlined four key areas for reform.
Rather than being replaced by a single new race director, FIA then put in place a new race management team.
Masi had endured a draining season even before the Abu Dhabi drama, and movig forward the load was shared by Niels Wittich and Eduardo Freitas, the two race directors, who are acting alternately, supported by a permanent senior advisor in Herbie Blash.
Masi's decision then was all about an interpretation of the regulations, rather than an error based on an absence of technology, but Ben Sulayem felt the race director will benefit from additional support.
With multiple officials now overseeing the 2022 F1 World Championship title race, the FIA hopes for less scrutiny of any one individual.
The focus on Masi alone at such a crucial stage last year backfired and Ben Sulayem & Co took the course correction measures quickly by first removing him as race director and now relieving him permanently from the motorsports' governing body.

Opposition slams PM Modi over unveiling of national emblem atop new Parliament building
New Delhi: Opposition parties slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday over the unveiling of a cast of the national emblem atop the new Parliament building, hurling a slew of accusations ranging from the absence of opposition leaders, conducting a religious ceremony on Parliament premises and "subverting" the principle of constitutional separation of powers.
Modi unveiled the national emblem cast on the roof of the new Parliament building and also attended a religious ceremony at the site.
"The Constitution separates powers of Parliament, government and judiciary. As head of the government, the Prime Minister should not have unveiled the national emblem atop the new parliament building," All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi wrote on Twitter.
"The Speaker of Lok Sabha represents Lok Sabha which isn't subordinate to the government. The prime minister has violated all constitutional norms," the Lok Sabha MP from Hyderabad added.
Congress leader Manickam Tagore highlighted the absence of opposition leaders from the event.
"Hon'ble Speaker sahib, Parliament needs Ruling party and Opposition parties. Where are the Opposition party Leaders? It's not BJP office I think," Tagore, the Congress's whip in the Lok Sabha, wrote on Twitter while tagging a tweet of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, who had posted photographs from the event on the microblogging website.
In a statement, the CPI(M) politburo said the prime minister's action was a "clear violation of the Indian Constitution".
It said the Constitution unambiguously separates the three wings of the country's democracy -- the Executive (government), the Legislature (Parliament and the state assemblies) and the Judiciary.
"President summons the Parliament. Prime minister is the head of the Executive. The Legislature has its independent role to perform, amongst others, to legislate laws, keep the Executive accountable and answerable," it said.
"This Constitutional separation of powers between the three wings is being subverted by the head of the Executive," the Communist Party of India (Marxist) said.
Hitting back at Owaisi, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said he is driven by a negative mindset and constantly attacks the country's political, moral, social, cultural and constitutional values to run his party.
"He does it habitually," BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said, replying to a question at a press conference here.
Citing a verse, Trivedi said even the best doctors have no cure for doubts.
He added that only those with "official and statutory" positions were involved in the unveiling of the emblem.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Majeed Memon wondered why the government had kept opposition leaders away from the ceremony to unveil the national emblem atop the new Parliament building.
"The Parliament House will not be occupied by the prime minister alone. It will also be occupied by the opposition. Not inviting them is a major flaw in a democratic set up," the former Rajya Sabha member said.
He said he had no objection to the prime minister unveiling the national emblem, adding, "It is his right as he is the tallest leader of the country."
The CPI(M) also took objection to the religious ceremony organised at the event.
"National emblem installation should not be linked to religious ceremonies. It is everyone's emblem, not those who have some religious beliefs. Keep religion separate from national functions," it said in a tweet.
CPI general secretary D Raja said Parliament belongs to everyone and wondered "how a private, personal event" was organised there.
"Also, Parliament is neutral. So why bring religious functions into it?" he asked.
Rajya Sabha member of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) Jawhar Sircar questioned why MPs were not consulted in the process.
In a tweet, he said: "4 lions of this regime watch as PM lifts the 4 lions of the national emblem on top of the new parliament building. But MPs, who will occupy this building, were never consulted. Modi will now zap us with a mediocre architecture designed by his crony architect -- at exorbitant costs."
Sircar's party colleague and fellow Rajya Sabha MP Santanu Sen also raised the issue of the absence of opposition leaders from the function.
"How many opposition leaders were found when @narendramodi was unveiling the #NationalEmblem today? Weight of the emblem is 9500 kg, which is even less than the weight of arrogance of @BJP4India Govt. Isn't this new Parliament for oppositions too? Absolute killing of Federalism (sic)," Sen wrote on Twitter.
While the Congress officially did not comment on the matter, one of its leaders and former BJP MP Udit Raj raised the issue of Hindu rites being performed on the Parliament premises.
"Mr Modi unveiled the emblem on new Parliament building. Does it belong to BJP? Hindu rites performed, India is a secular nation. Why other political parties were not invited? Indian democracy is on peril," he said in a tweet.
Officials said the emblem has been cast at the top of the central foyer of the new Parliament building and a supporting structure of steel, weighing around 6,500 kg, has been constructed to support it.
Modi was joined by Birla, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh and Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri at the inauguration.

Don’t Sit Idly By is the name of the education campaign aimed at getting Kelowna drivers to reduce vehicle emissions.
In April, a staff report suggested a one-minute idling control bylaw along with a six-month public education campaign.
At Monday’s (Jul. 11) meeting council heard the campaign would be made up of two parts. Part one would delve into the behaviour of drivers around idling, and part two would use that information to craft the actual campaign using various media to encourage a change in driver behaviour.
“I think it’s a good approach and I look forward to seeing the results,” said Coun. Ryan Donn.
Staff told council that $10,000 has been set aside for a behavioural insights strategy, while funding for the education portion would need to be discussed at a later date.
“Climate change takes behaviour change,” said Coun. Loyal Wooldridge. “I think other communities will be looking at this as well.”
Coun. Charlie Hodge was not sold on the plan.
“I don’t think it will be that tremendously successful,” he said. “People driving huge trucks and leaving their cars running for 15 minutes to warm up in the morning are the problem.”
Coun. Mohini Singh had a more positive tone.
“It’s not going to change everybody. It’s a little drop in a huge bucket and I hope it will create ripples.
Council has given second and third reading to the bylaw.
If eventually approved offenders would face a $150 fine if caught idling for more than one minute. Enforcement would apply to vehicles parked in driveways, parking lots, drop-off or pickup zones, drive-thrus, and on the street.
Exceptions include emergency vehicles engaged in operational activities, armoured vehicles transporting money or valuables, vehicles forced to stand still due to traffic or an emergency, and transit vehicles loading or unloading passengers.
The proposed timeline for the bylaw would have the awareness campaign start in summer/fall this year and enforcement start in winter or spring 2023.

(CNN) — A stellar nursery where stars are born, interactions between galaxies and a unique view of an exoplanet are just some of the new cosmic images are being shared Tuesday.
After decades of waiting, it’s finally time for the world to see the first images taken by the most powerful space telescope ever — the James Webb Space Telescope.
READ MORE: Firefighters Gaining Ground In Fight To Protect Yosemite’s Giant Sequoias; Fire Believed To Be Human-CausedDevelopment of the world’s premier space observatory began in 2004, and after years of delays, the telescope and its massive gold mirror finally launched on December 25.
The images are worth the wait — and they will forever change the way we see the universe.
President Joe Biden released one of Webb’s first images on Monday, and it is “the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date,” according to NASA. The rest of the high-resolution color images will make their debut on Tuesday.
✋🏼 Galactic high five!
In Webb’s image of Stephan’s Quintet, we see 5 galaxies, 4 of which interact. (The left galaxy is in the foreground!) Webb will revolutionize our knowledge of star formation & gas interactions in these galaxies: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse pic.twitter.com/b2kH1tSyMs
— NASA Webb Telescope (@NASAWebb) July 12, 2022
There are several events taking place during Tuesday’s image release, and all of them will stream live on NASA’s website.
Opening remarks by NASA leadership and the Webb team began Tuesday at 9:45 a.m. ET, followed by an image release broadcast that kicked off at 10:30 a.m. ET. Images are being revealed one by one, and a news conference at 12:30 p.m. ET will offer details about them.
The space observatory can investigate the mysteries of the universe by observing them through infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.
Webb will peer into the very atmospheres of exoplanets, some of which are potentially habitable, and it could uncover clues in the ongoing search for life outside of Earth.
The telescope will also look at every phase of cosmic history, including the first glows after the big bang that created our universe and the formation of the galaxies, stars and planets that fill it today.
Now, Webb is ready to help us understand the origins of the universe and begin to answer key questions about our existence, such as where we came from and if we’re alone in the cosmos.
The first images
The first image, released on Monday, shows SMACS 0723, where a massive group of galaxy clusters act as a magnifying glass for the objects behind them. Called gravitational lensing, this created Webb’s first deep field view that includes incredibly old and faint galaxies.
Some of these distant galaxies and star clusters have never been seen before. The galaxy cluster is shown as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago.
READ MORE: US Officials Working On A Plan To Allow Second COVID-19 Boosters For All AdultsThe image, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, is composed of images taken at different wavelengths of light over a collective 12.5 hours. Deep field observations are lengthy observations of regions of the sky that can reveal faint objects.
Webb’s other primary targets for the first image release include the Carina Nebula, WASP-96b, the Southern Ring Nebula and Stephan’s Quintet.
Webb’s study of the giant gas planet WASP-96b is the most detailed spectrum of an exoplanet to date. The spectrum includes different wavelengths of light that can reveal new information about the planet. Discovered in 2014, WASP-96b is located 1,150 light-years from Earth. It has half the mass of Jupiter and completes an orbit around its star every 3.4 days.
Webb’s spectrum includes “the distinct signature of water, along with evidence for clouds and haze, in the atmosphere surrounding a hot, puffy gas giant planet orbiting a distant Sun-like star,” according to NASA.
🌟 A star is born!
Behind the curtain of dust and gas in these “Cosmic Cliffs” are previously hidden baby stars, now uncovered by Webb. We know — this is a show-stopper. Just take a second to admire the Carina Nebula in all its glory: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse pic.twitter.com/OiIW2gRnYI
— NASA Webb Telescope (@NASAWebb) July 12, 2022
The observation demonstrates “Webb’s unprecedented ability to analyze atmospheres hundreds of light-years away,” according to NASA.
The Southern Ring Nebula, also called the “Eight-Burst,” is 2,000 light-years away from Earth. This large planetary nebula includes an expanding cloud of gas around a dying star.
The space telescope’s view of Stephan’s Quintet will reveal the way galaxies interact with one another. This compact galaxy group, first discovered in 1787, is located 290 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. Four of the five galaxies in the group “are locked in a cosmic dance of repeated close encounters,” according to a NASA statement.
Located 7,600 light-years away, the Carina Nebula is a stellar nursery, where stars are born. It is one of the largest and brightest nebulae in the sky and home to many stars much more massive than our sun.
Now, its “Cosmic Cliffs” are revealed in an incredible new Webb image.
The targets were selected by an international committee, including members from NASA, the European Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency and the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.
The mission, originally expected to last for 10 years, has enough excess fuel capability to operate for 20 years, according to NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy.
These will be just the first of many images to come from Webb over the next two decades, which promises to fundamentally alter the way we understand the cosmos.

Abnormal heart metabolism linked to sudden cardiac death in future, says study
According to a small, but rigorous study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers, adults with abnormal heart metabolism are up to three times more likely to experience life-threatening arrhythmias (an irregular heart rhythm), and MRI techniques could be used to detect the condition and predict future sudden cardiac death (SCD). Sudden cardiac death accounts for 50% of all cardiovascular deaths in the United States, claiming more than 3,00,000 American lives annually, according to the American Heart Association. Currently, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) -- a small, battery-powered device placed in the chest to detect and stop irregular heart rhythms -- is the primary means of preventing SCD in high-risk patients. The device continuously monitors the heart rhythm and delivers electric shocks, when needed, to restore a regular heart rhythm. The battery life of an ICD is typically between five to seven years. | https://www.dnaindia.com/world/video-abnormal-heart-metabolism-linked-to-sudden-cardiac-death-in-future-says-study-2968040 | 2022-07-12T17:08:58Z | https://www.dnaindia.com/world/video-abnormal-heart-metabolism-linked-to-sudden-cardiac-death-in-future-says-study-2968040 | true | 1 |

Eight people were injured in the incident, including some who were left with broken bones and a serious hand injury, following the incident which took place on Shoreham Street in the early hours of Sunday, July 10.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson confirmed the force has made an arrest today (Tuesday, July 12) as detectives continue their enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The spokesperson added: “A 36-year-old man from Sheffield has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in police custody at this time.
“Emergency services were called to Shoreham Street at 3.30am on Sunday 10 July following reports a number of people had been injured, after a vehicle was involved in a collision with a crowd.
“The vehicle was also in collision with a building, before leaving the scene.
“Eight people are known to have been injured in the incident. Three people received serious injuries, including broken bones and a serious hand injury. Five further people received non-serious injuries.”
Speaking earlier this week, Detective Inspector Andy Knowles, who is overseeing the investigation, said: “At this stage of the investigation, we believe that this was a targeted incident and that the vehicle was used deliberately to cause harm and damage. This is clearly an incredibly serious and dangerous offence, and we have a team of officers from all across the force working to progress enquiries and identify those involved as swiftly as possible.”

The Prime Day deals are spoiling us with this PS5 SSD deal and there's not only one, not two, but the top three models in the market at record low prices right now.
First up, and only by virtue of being 'slightly more of a bargain' is the Samsung 980 PRO beauty. The 1TB model is now down to an excellent $139.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (saving you $90), comfortably beating its previous low price by almost thirty dollars. This price essentially takes a premium model and drops it into the mid-range territory, and it's not even too far from the $100-for-1TB ratio. Incredible value.
If you're keeping your options open however, and can potentially spend just a few more dollars, you can get our favourite PS5 SSD, the Seagate FireCuda 530, for just $159 at Amazon (opens in new tab) right now (was $179.99). It's a smaller saving, yeah, but it's literally the top SSD you can put in a PS5 (or PC), complete with its own great heatsink, for a record low! Note: The Seagate 530 has a small delivery delay on it but you can select the 'Get it Faster' box to get it directly from Amazon for only one dollar more.
And to complete the set, the Mark Cerny-approved WD BLACK SN850 is also at a lowest ever price and might be the best deal of the lot. You can have the 1TB variant for just $113.99 (opens in new tab) right now (was $159.90). The value is so strong here - it was at $150 only a matter of days (maybe hours) ago.
All these drives offer speeds that easily exceed Sony's recommendations, and, at lowest-ever prices, all three are shoe-ins as some of the top Prime Day PS5 deals, period. It's deals like this that make the sales event worth it for PlayStation (and PC) players as picking up one of these can help you out in one fell swoop.

‘Don’t fall ill’: Sri Lanka doctors warn of drug shortage
Don’t fall ill or get into accidents: That’s the advice doctors in Sri Lanka are giving patients as the country’s economic crisis leaves its health care system short of drugs and other vital supplies.
The South Asian island nation lacks the money to pay for basic imports like fuel and food, and medicine is also running out. Such troubles threaten to undo its huge gains in public health in recent decades.
Some doctors have turned to social media to try to get donations of supplies or the funds to buy them. They’re also urging Sri Lankans living overseas to help out. So far there’s no sign of an end to the crisis that has thrust the country into an economic and political meltdown.
That means 15-year-old Hasini Wasana might not get the medicine she needs to protect her transplanted kidney. Diagnosed with a kidney ailment as a toddler, she got a transplant nine months ago and needs to take an immune suppressant every day for the rest of her life to prevent her body from rejecting the organ.
Hasini’s family is depending on donors to help now that her hospital can no longer provide the Tacrolimus tablets that she received for free until a few weeks ago. She takes eight and a half tablets a day and the cost adds up to more than $200 a month, just for that one medicine.
“We are being told (by the hospital) that they don’t know when they will have this tablet again,” said Ishara Thilini, Hasini’s older sister.
The family sold their home and Hasini’s father got a job in the Middle East to help pay for her medical treatment, but his income is barely enough.
Cancer hospitals, too, are struggling to maintain stocks of essential drugs to ensure uninterrupted treatment.
“Don’t get ill, don’t get injured, don’t do anything that will make you go to a hospital for treatment unnecessarily,” said Samath Dharmaratne, president of the Sri Lanka Medical Association.
“That is how I can explain it; this is a serious situation.”
Dr. Charles Nugawela, who heads a kidney hospital in Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo, said his hospital has kept running thanks to the largesse of donors but has resorted to providing medicine only to patients whose illness has advanced to the stage where they need dialysis.
Nugawela worries the hospital might have to put off all but the most urgent surgeries because of a shortage of suture materials.
The Sri Lanka College of Oncologists gave a list of drugs to the Health Ministry that “are very essential, that all hospitals have to have all the time so that we could provide cancer treatment without any interruption,” said Dr. Nadarajah Jeyakumaran, who heads the college.
But the government is having a hard time providing them, he said.
And it’s not just medicine. Patients having chemotherapy are susceptible to infections and can’t eat normally but hospitals don’t have enough food supplements, Jeyakumaran said.
The situation threatens to bring on a health emergency at a time when the country is still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic.
Hospitals lack drugs for rabies, epilepsy and sexually transmitted diseases. Labs don’t have enough of the reagents needed to run full blood count tests. Items like suture material, cotton socks for surgery, supplies for blood transfusions, even cotton wool and gauze are running short.
“If you are handling animals, be careful. If you get bitten and you need surgery and you get rabies, we don’t have adequate antiserum and rabies vaccines,” said Dr. Surantha Perera, vice president of the Sri Lanka Medical Association.
The association is trying to help patients by seeking donations through personal contacts and from Sri Lankans living overseas, Perera said.
Dhamaratne, the association president, said if things don’t improve doctors may be forced to choose which patients get treatment.
It’s a reversal of decades of improvements thanks to a universal health care system that has raised many measures of health to the levels of much wealthier nations.
Sri Lanka’s infant mortality rate, at just under 7 per 1,000 live births, is not far from the U.S., with 5 per 1,000 live births, or Japan’s 1.6. Its maternal mortality rate of near 30 per 100,000 compares well with most developing countries. The U.S. rate is 19, while Japan’s is 5.
Life expectancy had risen to nearly 75 years by 2016 from under 72 years in 2000.
The country has managed to eliminate malaria, polio, leprosy, the tropical parasitic disease filariasis commonly known as elephantiasis, and most other vaccine-preventable diseases.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has appealed for help, and the U.S., Japan, India and other countries have pledged funds and other humanitarian support. That aid and more from the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and other agencies will ensure medical supplies until the end of next year, Wickremesinghe recently told lawmakers.
But in the hospital wards and operating rooms, the situation seems much less reassuring and it threatens to erode public trust in the health system, Dhamaratne said.
“Compared to COVID, as a health emergency today’s situation is far, far worse,” he said.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — You may not think of it but there is a hidden cost for all of those Amazon Prime Day deals and it impacts the environment.
Amazon Prime Day, which is a two-day event, is one of the busiest days for Republic Services.
According to Amazon, more than 250 million items were purchased during last year’s 48-hour sales spree. That’s a lot of cardboard, bubble wrap, and plastic that could end up in a landfill if not properly recycled or reused.
Republic Services staff is preparing for the influx of shipping materials following Prime Day.
About 75% of waste can be recycled or reused. Cardboard is one of those great items to recycle but it’s important to understand what materials can’t be recycled.
Not all plastics are created equal, and flexible plastics like bubble wrap can cause a number of problems at the recycling center, including equipment jams and inefficiencies. Instead, these items should be collected and returned to a grocery store for recycling. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/prime-day-creates-lots-of-recycling-material/ | 2022-07-12T17:22:20Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/prime-day-creates-lots-of-recycling-material/ | false | 1 |
Popular media personality and lifestyle vlogger, Toke Makinwa, has said she’s tired of being strong and wishes she could be vulnerable with someone.
In a post via her Insta-stories on Monday, the On Air Personality said she can’t remember what it feels like to open up and be so vulnerable with another person.
In her words,
“I can’t remember what it really feels like to open up and be so vulnerable with another person, tired of being so strong. I want to feel soft again. But the way the world is set up today.”
This comes after Toke called out her friends for not showing her support after a new movie she featured in was released.
The TV gal starred in the remake of Nollywood classic “Glamour Girls” which was released on Tuesday, June 24.
However, the movie was met with massive criticisms from movie lovers who claim it didn’t meet their expectations.
In an apparent reaction to the criticisms, Toke took to her Instastory to reveal that her friends didn’t show her support or praise her acting skills after the movie was released.
She added that none of them should expect any support from her when they need it because she would repay them in their own coin.
The 37-year-old TV host wrote,
“I’ve received more support from strangers than I have friends since glamour girls came out, Not mad or feeling entitled, just putting it out there so that when next your palm itches you to ask for my support on anything, remember you stayed silent when it was my turn. No more what will Jesus do, pls be guided.” | https://bioreports.net/im-tired-of-being-so-strong-toke-makinwa-cries-out/ | 2022-07-12T17:25:29Z | https://bioreports.net/im-tired-of-being-so-strong-toke-makinwa-cries-out/ | false | 1 |
There’s value on today’s MLB slate, with multiple player props to target in the National League.
Below, you can find some of tonight’s best player props to target on the MLB slate from the National League on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
Austin Riley (Braves) to Hit a Home Run (+350)The Atlanta Braves are one of the hottest teams in MLB, and there’s a lot to like about them amidst a big divisional series with the New York Mets. This team has one of the best lineups in the league, and one of the keys to that offense is Austin Riley. Riley has already mashed 24 home runs this season and driven in 57 runs, combined with a .912 OPS. Those numbers have also been better at home, where the Braves face the Mets tonight. Riley and the Braves are expected to take on left-hander David Peterson, which should benefit him. Peterson has quietly performed well for the Mets, but Riley has five hits in ten at-bats against the lefty, which should favor him in this matchup. Against left-handed pitching, Riley also has a 1.100 OPS, compared to a .824 against righties. Riley’s power has also been evident against left-handed starters, and there should be value with him to homer at +350.
Manny Machado (Padres) to Hit a Home Run (+265)The San Diego Padres are trying to pad their Wild Card lead tonight when they visit the Colorado Rockies. There’s a lot to like about how the Padres perform at Coors Field, which should benefit the San Diego offense in this matchup, who scored six times yesterday in their victory. One of the reasons that the Padres have stayed competitive is because Manny Machado has put up MVP-caliber numbers, which was essential, with Fernando Tatis Jr. having yet to play a game this season. Machado has 15 home runs this year, including one in last night’s game, while also driving in 51 runs and boasting a .310 batting average. Machado cooled down a bit in June, but he’s off to a great start in July, putting up a .946 OPS over his past seven games while recording three home runs. Machado and the Padres will take on Austin Gomber and the Rockies, a matchup where he’s hit .308 in 13 at-bats. Not only has Machado been good against Gomber, but he’s also been better against left-handed starters, with a .956 OPS and seven home runs. Machado is listed at an excellent price to homer at +265.
Spencer Strider (Braves) to Record 8+ Strikeouts (+116)It’s hard not to be impressed with the Atlanta Braves, specifically with how effective their offense and starting pitching has been. One of Atlanta’s bright spots this year has been their rookie starting pitcher, Spencer Strider, who’s been electric in the rotation. Strider has posted a 4-2 record with a 2.60 ERA and 102 strikeouts. Those 102 strikeouts have come in just 65 and 2/3 innings, which shows how well his stuff has played at the big league level. Over his past six starts, Strider has recorded eight or more strikeouts in four, which should make for the right-hander to be someone to consider on tonight’s slate. The Mets don’t strike out at a high clip, but that hasn’t limited Strider in his prior starts against teams with similar numbers to New York. Strider has one of his alternate strikeout props listed at eight, coming in with plus-money value at +116. It’s hard to pass up that number with how consistently he’s been racking up strikeouts this season, even if it seems high at first glance. | https://nesn.com/bets/2022/07/riley-machado-best-national-league-player-props-july-12/ | 2022-07-12T17:25:46Z | https://nesn.com/bets/2022/07/riley-machado-best-national-league-player-props-july-12/ | true | 1 |

Paul Pogba: Juventus midfielder says Manchester United stint 'blocked me a bit'
Last updated on .From the section European Football
France midfielder Paul Pogba says "a bit of everything" in terms of "coach, team, position" had "blocked" him at former club Manchester United.
The 29-year-old has rejoined Juventus after leaving United following his deal with the Old Trafford club expiring.
"I'm happy with the choices I've made in my life," he said.
"Sometimes you make choices that don't go your way but I'm happy with the years in Manchester. I grew up, I learned, I became a man."
- Can Pogba's move reunite Juventus?
- Pogba wants to show United they made a mistake in letting him leave
Pogba, who came through United's academy, left the club in 2012 to join Juventus and won the Serie A title four times with them before moving to back to the Old Trafford side for a then world-record £89m transfer in 2016.
He won the EFL Cup and Europa League with United in his first season back at the club but they were the only trophies he won in his second spell with them.
He played for managers Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Michael Carrick and Ralf Rangnick following his return to United and failed to produce his best form on a consistent basis under each of them.
However, Pogba, who has 91 international caps, was influential as France won the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
"Changing [Manchester United] coach every year is hard - this was a difficult aspect for me," said Pogba. "Then there were a few injuries, but I think it was also a mental thing - playing and not playing makes you lose pace.
"There is a bit of everything: coach, team, position. All this has blocked me a bit.
"Now, however, I have left and you will see another Paul. I can do better than in recent years."
Pogba has signed a four-year contract with Juventus, who finished fourth in Serie A last season.
He added: "I am happy to go home, this is how I feel here. This is something more than a dream. I am very happy.
"There were other teams interested, but my heart chose Juventus. I was fine here before and I'm fine now, I just want to do well.
"I can't wait to start and help the team. I hope to do better than last time." | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62140062 | 2022-07-12T17:33:48Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62140062 | true | 2 |
Numbers up at veterans golf
How good was it to see a numbers improvement in the field last Thursday for the 'twin towns' veterans golf competition with 35 players braving the damp conditions of the Forbes course.
Add to this was the late notice that the 4th hole had to be withdrawn from play due to the surge in height of the lagoon which graces the par four fourth hole. To counter this all players were awarded two points without play.
Interesting to note that 17 players, or half the field, scored in the 20s while only two players played to their handicaps. This included winner Niel Duncan from the host club with an excellent 39 points from the ever consistent Parkes member Ian Hendry on 36 points.

Popular Forbes member Rodney Besgrove took home the 'burner' ball with the encouragement award while A grade nearest the pin winner were Canberra visitor Stuart Hayes on the 9th and Alf Davies (Forbes) on the 18th. No B grade player registered a tee shot to either hole.
In the 'twin towns' shield (best six scores from each club) Forbes were easy winners 208 points to Parkes' 186.
Ball sweep winners to 30 points. From Parkes, John Fowler, Robert Lea, John Dwyer, Nym Dziuba. From Forbes, Barry Parker, Kim Herbert, Allan Rees, Peter Cowhan, Scott Kirkman, Ken Sanderson, Alex McKinnon, Ross Williams, Ted Morgan, Alf Davies, Andrew Norton-Knight while Kiama visitor Peter Shannon also collected a ball in the sweep.
'Twin towns' veterans play in Parkes today, noms from 9.30am with play to commence immediately after. Today week Lachlan Valley Association clubs will gather in Forbes for the monthly 18 hole competition.
The talented 'leftie' Barry Parker was the toast of Tuesday social 12 hole players last week winning with 27 points on a cold and frost morning which only saw 10 players braving the conditions. Niel Duncan brushed up his game for the 'twin towns' the following Thursday with 24 points to be next best.
All golfers are invited to play the Tuesday 12 holes, simply be at the Pro Shop from 9am and your guaranteed a game.
Cold conditions hamper golfers
The competitor performance at any outdoor sport is affected by the weather. The Forbes golfers have shown an ability to handle a variety of conditions, with some conditions affecting players more than other conditions. This week the cold certainly hampered the scoring ability, but nothing dampened the enthusiasm.
The Men's event on Saturday was an 18-hole Stroke, sponsored by B&M Tooth. The enthusiastic field of 67 starters were keen to score well, but unfortunately a biting wind made the hands shake and stiffened up the swing. A score of around par was deemed a good effort under this scenario.
In Div-1 there was a real tussle to grab the honours with four players finishing on 71 nett. The winner was decided by count back, which saw Jack Dobell get the big 'W'.
Jack came home with a very tidy 40 scratch, which undoubtedly helped him to the top spot after an adjustment for handicap. His worst hole on the front-9 was a '6' on the 7th hole, while a string of pars on the back-9 helped his good score.
Runner-up was Michael Brindle. As we would expect he was very tidy, scoring 36-38 but his handicap brought him undone after an unfortunate bogey on the last hole.
The others in the mix were Max Medlyn and Alec Edwards, both from Parkes. But 6's on the back-9 did not help their cause any.
The Div-2 place-getters were more cut and dried. The winner was Allan Rees with his nett 70. His play was even throughout, scoring 46-46 and only one '7' on his card.
Runner-up was Henry Nash with a nett 72. He was a bit untidy on the front-9, scoring an '8' on the 6th hole, but otherwise matched Allan for the rest of his round. Those two had a two shot lead on the remainder of the field.
The NTP's went to - 9th : Dave Bernardi; 18th : Barry Parker. This was the second consecutive week that Barry had taken the 18th honours, but the first time he converted for a '2'. The cold conditions led to there being only four 2's all day. These included two on the 1st , one in each Division. Jordan Brett did well to sink an awkward putt, while Max Haley scored his in calm expectation.
The 3rd Hole Super Pin went to Kyle Sharpe with a shot to 3.2 metres. Although he did not manage to convert for a '2', he was well pleased to earn some loot. This was his first game for many weeks, and while his score was not overly exciting the Super-Pin warmed him up.

The ball sweep was surprisingly tight, going to 76 nett on count back: 71 - M Medlyn, A Edwards; 72 - T Toohey, Alf Davies; 73 - H Callaghan, A Demidjuk; 74 - P Cowhan, K Sanderson, N Ryan; 75 - A Dukes, B Tooth, T Morgan, A Alley; 76 - P Dawson, J Betland, P Pymont, P Kay, B Parker.
The visitors included Stuart Hayes (Murrumbidgee) who thought he was escaping the chill of Canberra, Jarrod Hall (Trundle), and a group from Parkes which included Max Medlyn, Alec Edwards and Matt Littlewood. Of all the visitors both Max and Alec were rewarded.
Keeping warm was the order of the day. The occasional break of sunshine only benefitted a few, with the field split into two distinct playing groups - the early surge and the later surge. Someone selling those packets of hand warmers you keep in your pockets would have done well. And possibly the walkers had an advantage because they moved vigorously while the cart riders sat comatose.
The Pro Shop battle could develop into a long-term battle. Head Pro Adam took the scratch honours with his 69, the best scratch score of the day, but Michael Brindle took the handicap honours thanks to his generous handicap of '3'. A little bit of practice be each of them, and then some competition by our better A-graders and we may see some eye-catching scores.
Adam was quite pleased with his score. He was 3-under after six holes, turning on 34. His back-9 was quite boring - eight 4's and one '3'. Unfortunately while his '3' was a birdie he did bogey the last hole, claiming a wind gust blew him off balance during his putting.
A few players took this day to return to golf after having missed quite a deal of weeks. Almost all of them wondered why they did not wait for a better day, but then they were more than pleased to be out in the fresh air.

The cold conditions would have contributed to some high scores, but definitely was not as bad as playing in the wet. The 4th hole presented a challenge with a wide expanse of water, but there are other stories to tell. In Div-2 there were a number of 9's on the cards, but surprisingly quite a few gathered in the non-obvious places.
Yes the 7th did feature, and we could understand a high score on the 2nd , but a '9' scored by Jake LeBrocque on the 13th deserves an explanation. And what of the 'Bo Derek' scored by Frank Hanns on the 15th ? I forecast a combination of trees, water, bad chips and an errant putter.
The Div-1 players did not go unscathed. There was a scattering of 8's and 9's on the cards, but the standout achievements were a 'Bo Derek' by Jake Shaw on the 7th, and a calamitous '11' by Laurie O'Connor on the 13th . That hole deserves some investigation.
Some players had more than the cold to contend with. Greg Webb struggled with his eye-sight, maintaining that was the reason for so many missed putts. And Tony Cogswell had wrist and shoulder issues. He was definitely looking for some robotic assistance through the day. But oh, what a joy to be out there.
There was no Stableford Medley on Sunday due to the low numbers, although three players ventured out to test their mettle. Strangely, they all had the same stableford score.
Here is the news:

The LVDGA holds a number of events across the year, promoting golf at the different courses around District. One such event is the Mixed 4B Championship, scheduled to be played at Condobolin on Sun 17 July. Unfortunately, as at Sunday night no entries had been received and the event is likely to be cancelled. Non-participation in these events, for whatever reason, places their future in doubt.

Manure digester, cropping practices, animal care stand out at Deer Run Dairy
KEWAUNEE, Wis., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A Wisconsin dairy farm, Deer Run Dairy, has won national recognition for a comprehensive approach to sustainability.
The farm's Outstanding Dairy Farm Sustainability award comes from the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy as part of the center's 11th annual U.S. Dairy Sustainability Awards.
Deer Run, owned by partners Duane and Derek Ducat (father and son) and Dale Bogart, milks about 1,650 cows with an additional 250 dry cows on site. The 2,500 acres of farmland is in an area with fractured bedrock and in some places very shallow soil, posing unique challenges to water quality.
"We really take a whole-farm approach to sustainability ― from our animals' health, to being stewards of the land and using our manure digester to reduce pathogen levels," Duane Ducat said. "We have a culture that's developed at Deer Run to embrace the challenges that come with introducing new practices and methods that make it possible to be sustainable for the future."
The sustainability awards, announced last month, recognize dairy farms, businesses and collaborative partnerships for practices that demonstrate outstanding economic, environmental and social benefits; a longstanding commitment to continuous improvement; and a replicable model to inform and inspire others in advancing dairy sustainability leadership.
"Deer Run is always willing to step up and take on new challenges by accelerating the adoption of practices that lead to continuous improvement in conservation," said Tim Trotter, CEO of Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, who nominated the farm. "This farm takes great pride in the commitment they've made to be a leading advocate for sustainability in the dairy community, and we could not be prouder to be associated with such an extraordinary representative."
Learning and adapting are ongoing processes at Deer Run. The farm is part of the Door-Kewaunee Watershed Demonstration Farms Network with guidance from the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. Duane Ducat is also a founding member of Peninsula Pride Farms (PPF), a farmer-led conservation group whose members work together to protect the local watershed and encourage other farmers to try conservation practices such as cover crops, buffer strips and no-tillage.
Through PPF and the network, Deer Run hosts field days to show practices in action and share the benefits. Among the many people who have toured the farm to see the conservation up close is Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers.
The farm's sustainability efforts are wide-ranging.
"We are very deliberate with our manure applications to the land as well as our cropping practices," Duane Ducat said. "We are planting cover crops in the late summer and fall, as well as no-till planting green into these cover crops in the spring to help protect and enhance soil health."
With the use of an anaerobic digester, Deer Run is reducing pathogens in manure by a thousandfold, leaving just one-tenth of 1% of the pathogens found in untreated manure. In 2020, the digester was converted to produce renewable natural gas, a clean, low-carbon fuel for the transportation market. Byproducts from the digester include animal bedding and nutrient-rich fertilizer that can be either used by the farm for cost savings or sold for profit.
In 2021, a partner company began the engineering process to expand the digester system's capacity and impact by installing a mixing tank that will enable other local farms to bring animal waste to Deer Run.
The farm also focuses on cow comfort and energy efficiency. Antibiotic use is minimal, and feeding trials are being conducted to reduce methane gas production in the rumen of the cows. The barns are cross-ventilated by fans that conserve energy while keeping the animals cool.
"All of these practices help paint a complete sustainability picture at Deer Run," Duane Ducat said.
The advancements at Deer Run Dairy to constantly improve cow care and the health of the soil and water are championed in Wisconsin. There are more than 40 farmer-driven watershed protection groups in the state, all striving to improve the land and water for future generations.
"Consumers continue to look for and make purchase decisions based on sustainable messaging on labels," said Patrick Geoghegan, executive vice president of industry relations for Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. "Deer Run Dairy, and many other Wisconsin dairy farms, have great stories to share about how they care for their cows, their community and the environment. Awards such as this affirm the efforts of the state's dairy farmers but also our rich heritage in conservation efforts."
Judges in the Innovation Center awards program evaluated dozens of nominations based on economic, environmental and community impact. The independent panel — including experts working with and throughout the dairy community — also considered learning, innovation, scalability and replicability.
Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy® is a forum that brings together the dairy community to address the changing needs and expectations of consumers through a framework of shared best practices and accountability. Initiated in 2008 by dairy farmers through the dairy checkoff, we collaborate on efforts that are important both to us and our valued customers – priorities like animal care, environmental stewardship, food safety and traceability and community contribution. The Innovation Center is committed to continuous improvement from farm to table, striving to ensure a socially responsible and economically viable dairy community.
