Bodh Gaya (Bihar) [India], July 12 (ANI): Bodh Gaya, located in the central province of Bihar State is one of the holiest sites for Buddhists all over the world where thousands of foreigners mostly Buddhist devotees throng each year.
Under the sacred pipal or Bodhi tree, Gautama Buddha (Prince Siddhartha) attained enlightenment and became the Buddha. It is believed to be the centre of the universe according to some Buddhist texts and the seat of enlightenment of all past and future Buddhas.

In the 3rd century BCE, a simple shrine was built by the emperor Ashoka to mark the spot, and this was later enclosed by a stone railing in the first century BCE, part of which still remains.
Ashoka's stone slab purporting to mark the exact position where the Buddha sat is traditionally called the Buddha's Vajrasana (literally "diamond throne" or "thunder seat"). In the 2nd century CE, the shrine was replaced during the Kushan period by the present Mahabodhi temple which was itself refurbished in the Pala-Sena period (750-1200), heavily restored by the British archaeologist Sir Alexander Cunningham in the second half of the 19th century, and finally restored by Myanmar (Burmese) Buddhists in 1882.

The temple's central tower stands 180 feet (54 metres) above the ground. Its pyramidal shikhara (tower) comprises several layers of niches, arch motifs, and fine engravings. Four towers, each identical to its central counterpart but smaller in size and topped with an umbrella-like dome, adorn the corners of the two-story structure.
A shrine inside the temple holds a yellow sandstone statue of the Buddha encased in glass. One of the most famous of Ashoka's many pillars (on which he had engraved his edicts and his understanding of religious doctrine) stands at the southeast corner of the temple.
The 4.8-hectare (11.9-acre) complex also includes ancient shrines and modern structures built by Buddhist devotees. It was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2002.
On September 5, 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the midst of delegates from different Buddhist countries reiterated the relevance of this holy place saying, "We are meeting in Bodhgaya, a land that has a distinctive place in the history of humankind. This is the land of Enlightenment. Years ago what Bodhgaya got was Siddhartha but what Bodhgaya gave to the world was Lord Buddha: the epitome of knowledge, Peace and Compassion."
Resonating PM Modi's thoughts, some of the firsthand accounts of the Asian Buddhists who took a pilgrimage to Bodhgaya write about their experiences at this holy site.
A Korean nun Hyeran Lee who got her PhD degree in Buddhist Studies from the University of Delhi in 2016 and is currently a Lecturer at Dongguk University, Republic of Korea writes, "Bodhgaya is the place where I can feel the energy of the Buddha. I had become a Buddhist nun at the age of 20 in order to devote my life to pursuing the Buddha's teaching and dharma. I was very curious about India - the land of the Buddha. When I was in my mid-twenties, I visited India for the first time. I had always been curious about the land of the Buddha and had seen the pictures of Buddhist sacred places so many times and did not expect to visit Bodhgaya and the other Buddhist sacred sites in India."
"But when I actually made a pilgrimage to Bodhgaya, I realized that the pictures cannot express everything that a Holy place holds. The atmosphere of Bodhgaya was sacredly mysterious and the place was crowded with pilgrims from all parts of the world. There were many people making prostrations to the Buddha and around the Mahabodhi Temple. Bodhgaya is a religious site where the Buddha attained Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. When I visited Bodhgaya again after 20 years, I felt the same feeling as I had felt during my first visit to Bodhgaya. I could feel the energy of the Buddha when he lived around 2600 years ago. I think that Buddhists and non-Buddhists can feel the Buddha's power in Bodhgaya, as many come on a pilgrimage to Bodhgaya every time," she added.
Another nun scholar from Vietnam Li Thi Kim Lien who finished her Masters in Buddhist Studies from University of Delhi very sincerely expresses her moment of experience in Bodhgaya saying, "It was a great blessing for me to come and admire Bodh Gaya under the Bodhi tree, which all Buddhists called the land of enlightenment. When my foot entered the gate of the Great Stupa, occasionally listening to the chanting of the Pali sutras emanating from the loudspeakers, I felt an indescribable emotion in my heart- an atmosphere of sacredness, mystery, and majesty pervades Bodh Gaya."
"I respectfully folded my hands and saluted the Great Stupa facing me. As I started walking toward the steps leading to the Great Stupa, I felt there was an invisible power that affected my consciousness. It affected my every step. Every step I took was like an electric current being transmitted to my body, making my whole body vibrate strangely. A spiritual force at the place of Buddha's enlightenment acted on my body and mind. At that time, I felt I am just a tiny human being before that spiritual power. It is strange that being under the influence of this spiritual power and the majesty of the Great Stupa, my heart felt peaceful and reverent, and I felt all my fears going away," she said. (ANI)

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Workers at five Atlantic City casinos have ratified new contracts giving them significant raises, and are now turning their attention to the two that have yet to settle, their union said Tuesday.
Officials with Local 54 of the Unite Here union said 99% of workers who voted in ratification elections Monday approved the new pacts, under which housekeeping employees will immediately see their hourly salary increased to $18, up from varying levels at different casinos.
Their pay will increase to $22 per hour at the end of the four-year contract.
“It's hard to sell a housekeeping job at $16 an hour,” said union president Bob McDevitt. “It's a lot easier to sell one at $20 or $22 an hour.”
“Casino workers have needed raises for a long time,” added Dave Dorfman, cook at Harrah’s and member of the worker negotiating committee. “Now there is an easier way forward for us, and the money will go a long way towards affording my daily expenses. Next, we need to make sure that Resorts and Golden Nugget workers don’t get left behind.”
The union plans to vote July 19 on whether to authorize a strike at those two casinos if new deals are not reached by then.
McDevitt said the union has not yet negotiated with Resorts or Golden Nugget. Executives at both those casinos declined comment Tuesday.
McDevitt said the strike authorization vote is a way to prepare for the possibility that a work stoppage may be needed.
“We don't want to be in the last weeks of summer and staring at Labor Day weekend without a new contract,” he said.
In addition to raises, the agreements maintain fully-funded family health care and pension benefits, language that protects jobs and increases work opportunities, and new technology protections, the union said.
The union reached agreements on new contracts shortly before early July strike deadlines with the Borgata, Caesars, Harrah's, Tropicana and Hard Rock. Two other casinos, Bally's and the Ocean Casino Resort, agreed to so-called “me-too” deals, committing themselves to adopt the terms of contracts reached by some of the larger properties in the city.

Superbug infections, deaths rose at beginning of pandemic
NEW YORK (AP) — The toll of drug-resistant “superbug” infections worsened during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. health officials said Tuesday.
After years of decline, 2020 ushered in a 15% increase in hospital infections and deaths caused by some of the most worrisome bacterial infections, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report.
Dr. Arjun Srinivasan, a CDC expert, called it “a startling reversal” that he hopes was a one-year blip.
CDC officials think several factors may have caused the rise, including how COVID-19 was treated when it first hit the U.S. in early 2020.
Antimicrobial resistance happens when germs like bacteria and fungi gain the power to fight off the drugs that were designed to kill them. The misuse of antibiotics was a big reason — unfinished or unnecessary prescriptions that didn’t kill the germs made them stronger.
Before the pandemic, health officials said U.S. superbug infections appeared to be going down. Deaths fell 18% between 2012 and 2017, when about 36,000 Americans died from drug-resistant infections. The government credited hospitals for using antibiotics more judiciously, and for isolating patients who might spread the germs.
The CDC doesn’t have 2020 data on all superbugs, partly because health officials had to focus on COVID-19. But it does have data from seven kinds of bacterial and fungal infections that were detected in hospital patients, including MRSA and a bug called CRE that’s known as “the nightmare bacteria.”
The CDC saw increases of 15% or more in infections and deaths from that group of germs.
One possible reason: From March to October 2020, almost 80% of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 received an antibiotic, CDC officials said. Use of certain kinds of antibiotics jumped as doctors aggressively used a variety of drugs to fight not only the coronavirus but also bacterial co-infections that might sweep over their weakened patients.
By 2021, overall use of antibiotics dropped. And Srinivasan noted that the use of catheters, ventilators and other medical devices may also be down. Those devices, which are used on severely ill patients, can become inroads into patient’s bodies for drug-resistant germs.
Still, any uptick in COVID-19 hospitalizations — like the one being seen in the U.S. currently — increases that risk, he said.

bumpy ride
The 'Apple Car' still sounds like a disaster
Apple's not-so-secretive self-driving car could feature a curved roof like a Volkswagen Beetle, a new report details — if it ever sees the light of day.
Building mixed reality headsets isn’t the only new project Apple’s been working on in very public “secret.” The company’s all-but-confirmed Project Titan automotive project continues to trudge along, and according to a new report from The Information, remains a mess, with the car’s interior design the only somewhat stable element in a storm of leadership and direction changes.
Beetle — While famed Apple design guru Jony Ive is not currently employed by the company, he was the head of industrial design when Project Titan started and had a hand in positioning autonomous driving as the key feature of Apple’s future car, going so far as to ditch the steering wheel entirely. “Ive believed that autonomy was to the car what multitouch gestures (using fingers to tap, scroll and zoom) were to the iPhone,” The Information writes.
Now as a design consultant through his firm LoveFrom, Ive is reportedly still guiding the overall look of the car project. Currently the “Apple Car” has passenger seats that face each other and “a curved ceiling similar to the roof of a Volkswagen Beetle.”
An early concept from Apple’s industrial designers involved building the car entirely from glass.
Apple’s team has also explored a trunk that automatically raises and lowers for easier access, and offers passengers the ability to lay down and nap mid-ride. And those are seemingly reasonable ideas, according to The Information; an early concept from Apple’s industrial designers involved building the car entirely from glass.
Leadership turmoil — More than settling on what Project Titan should look like, the project has featured frequent turnover because of a lack of commitment from Apple higher-ups, at least as The Information tells it. And that would make sense, the only really hard news that suggests Apple is working on a car is the revolving door of car executives who’ve been hired and later left the company.
Doug Field, who left Apple for Ford late last year, tried to get the company to commit to actually making a car but struggled with both Apple executives, and the unfinished nature of the self-driving software that was supposed to power the car. Ian Goodfellow, the director of machine learning at Apple whose designs reportedly served as the core of Project Titan’s autonomous capabilities, left for Google earlier this year over Apple’s return-to-work policy.
With all of the false starts, the project seems to have existed as a quietly burbly disaster for the last several years. Apple has reportedly now placed Titan in Kevin Lynch’s hands, the company’s vice president of technology who spearheaded the launch of the Apple Watch. Apple has even pulled off some successful demos of its self-driving tech — and one notable failure involving an almost-accident with a jogger. What’s clear is that much like AR and VR hardware, building a car, especially one that drives itself, isn’t an easy problem. Apple has the time and money to throw at it, but until the company actually divulges the details of what it’s been working on, all we really have is some distracting concept art for CarPlay to go on. | https://www.inputmag.com/tech/apple-car-design-volkswagen-beetle-still-disaster | 2022-07-12T17:46:36Z | https://www.inputmag.com/tech/apple-car-design-volkswagen-beetle-still-disaster | true | 1 |
Tessa Thompson Talks Valkyrie’s Relationship Status And Why Getting To Play A Bisexual Character In The MCU Has Been Really Meaningful
By Corey Chichizola published
Tessa Thompson has shared some of the real emotions that come with playing Valkyrie in the MCU.
Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a wild one so far, with the universe expanding thanks to projects on the small and silver screens. The latest movie hitting theaters was Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder, which has been doing great at the box office. The blockbuster marked Tessa Thompson’s return as Valkyrie, and the actress recently spoke to her character’s relationship status, and why getting to play a bisexual character in the MCU has been really meaningful.
Since debuting in Thor: Ragnarok, Tessa Thompson has been open about how she’s playing Valkyrie as a bisexual woman. While a scene hinting at this was deleted from that previous blockbuster, Love and Thunder featured notable queer moments for both her and (surprisingly) Korg. While some fans wanted to see Val find her Queen of New Asgard, Thompson spoke about the hero’s relationship status to Variety, offering:
There you have it. While Tessa Thompson previously spoke about Valkyrie getting her queen, her romantic partnership (or lack thereof) is just one aspect of the Asgardian hero. And for the purpose of Thor: Love and Thunder, the story didn’t require Thompson’s signature character to actually fall in love herself. Instead, she settled for some light flirting and trying to make it out of the conflict with Christian Bale’s Gorr alive.
Given the massive popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s been a ton of conversation lately about the importance of representation. And Phase Four has certainly taken more steps forward, with more stories focusing on underrepresented groups like women, people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, and the disabled community. Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie is part of that conversation, recently speaking about being touched by the love that’s come her way from young queer people out there. As she put it,
While superhero movies might be a fun day at the theater, there are clearly some real-world implications from a franchise so popular. Tessa Thompson speaking openly about both her own sexuality and Valkyrie’s over the years, and being so visible, has clearly helped inspire audience members to be their most authentic selves.
Tessa Thompson spoke about the importance of authenticity in her work and life later in that same interview. As a self-identifying queer woman herself, she feels “lucky” to be able to work as an actress with people who love and support her. Thompson shared:
What a class act. While speaking about how lucky she is in her career, Tessa Thompson also acknowledged that so many LGBTQ+ folks out there aren’t quite as lucky. And so she wants anyone out there struggling to know that she sees and values them. Looks like Valkyrie is a hero IRL.
Thor: Love and Thunder is currently in theaters now. Be sure to check out the 2022 movie release dates to plan your next movie experience.

(NEXSTAR) – Heardle, the online music guessing game, has been acquired by streaming giant Spotify, the company announced Tuesday.
The daily trivia game, which debuted earlier this year, tasks players with identifying the name and artist of a song after hearing only a short snippet. Players who guess incorrectly, or choose to “skip,” can hear more of the song with each incorrect guess or skip. The game ends when a player submits the correct guess or fails to identify the song within six guesses or skips.
In other words, it’s “Name That Tune” for a new generation.
“We are always looking for innovative and playful ways to enhance music discovery and help artists reach new fans,” said Jeremy Erlich, the global head of music at Spotify, in a statement issued with Tuesday’s news release. “Heardle has proven to be a really fun way to connect millions of fans with songs they know and love and with new songs . . . and a way to compete with their friends as to who has the best musical knowledge.”
In the release, Spotify said the game would remain free to play, and the “look and feel” will also stay the same. A representative for Spotify told Nexstar on Tuesday that the company is planning to share more news on the possible expansion of the answer pool “in the near future.”
Heardle, which was developed by web designer in London, was inspired by the success of the daily word-guessing game Wordle, Variety reported. The game’s designer created the first version of Heardle in roughly a day, according to the outlet.
A representative for Spotify would not disclose details of the deal. But the inspiration for Heardle — Wordle — was purchased by The New York Times in January for somewhere in “the low seven figures,” the Times confirmed. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/heardle-a-daily-music-trivia-game-acquired-by-spotify/ | 2022-07-12T17:54:50Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/heardle-a-daily-music-trivia-game-acquired-by-spotify/ | false | 22 |

A few streets outside of Milan's city center is an uncharacteristically utilitarian block of 1930s flats. From her window in one of these buildings, the electronic musician Caterina Barbieri can see the geometric cubes of the opposite apartments — "industrial and depressing," she says over Zoom from her living room. Worse yet, they remind the 31-year-old of the architecture in Berlin, the very place she sought to leave behind in 2018. "I hated that when I moved here," she admits. "I was trying to get away from it."
In March 2020 at the very start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Barbieri found herself confined to this Milanese apartment. She recalls neighbors being afraid to step out onto balconies; traveling even just a few blocks down the road required a slip of paper from the Italian authorities. But for all of the terror and paranoia that defined the early days of the pandemic, the composer confesses the situation aligned well with her own schedule; she needed time, if not necessarily space, to write the follow-up to the algorithmic, arpeggiated songs of 2019's critically acclaimed Ecstatic Computation. As a result of the "exceptional isolated condition," she threw herself into the process in an "ascetic way," spending the entirety of each day writing and recording, all as the heaviness of the situation grew around her — the death toll rising, the lockdown extending.
The artwork of Spirit Exit, Barbieri's new album and the fruits of this intense period, shows the composer cutting a suspended Ophelia-like pose — somewhere between a state of euphoria and death. That state of being will likely resonate with anyone who has seen Barbieri live. Her music made mostly using analog synthesizers is renowned for stimulating acute, often pleasurable physiological responses in the listener, the sounds designed to work in conjunction with the physical space they're heard in. On the opening track "At Your Gamut," she achieves this effect to a greater degree than her previous works as webs of hypnotic synthesizer induce waves of prickling ASMR bliss. Barbieri, who art directed the visual material alongside artist Ruben Spini, also points to the baroque sculpture The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa as a key inspiration. "Erotic and distant," she says, describing the work — with "ambiguous sensorial states" equally applicable to the music itself.
Barbieri was born in 1990 in Bologna, Italy. She began studying classical guitar at the age of 11 before joining the Conservatory of Bologna at 14, practicing up to six hours a day, and enjoying the melancholic Renaissance music of composer John Dowland. But as a teenager she found herself drawn to the extreme, amplified music of noise, metal and doom — artists and bands such as Keiji Haino and Corrupted. This brutal music was an early lesson on the relationship between music and the body, an opportunity to "surrender to sound, almost dissolve into it."
At home, Barbieri was surrounded by an even greater variety of sound. Her father, who owned a music collection stretching from Terry Riley's minimalism to avant-garde jazz, was a saxophonist in no-wave bands during the 1970s and '80s. Her grandmother trained as an opera singer at the same conservatory as Barbieri decades before. Although she never sang professionally, Barbieri remembers her performances of "very emotional, sentimental opera like Puccini and Rossini" at family gatherings.
The young musician embodied these divergent performance traditions, joining a drone band in her late teens. "It was really weird playing classical guitar with long nails and then going to perform in this band where I was doing more of these drone and metal-type sounds — very massive physical experiences," says Barbieri. "Coming from a classical upbringing which requires so much control and discipline, these physical experiences were very liberating."
Ever since, the physicality of music — how it impacts the body and the way space can alter its effect — has been central to Barbieri's work. Having done a residency at Stockholm's famed center for sound art Elektronmusikstudion, where she encountered the Buchla 200, analog synthesizers have been the primary tool through which she explores these ideas. Her second album, 2017's Patterns Of Consciousness, was developed during 2016 live shows, an experiment in how patterns of sound, and their gradual transformation, can literally alter consciousness. In an interview with the outlet Resident Advisor, Barbieri jokingly referred to her audience as "victims" but she was deadly serious about how the space shaped the way she and the audience heard the dense synth matrices. "I was interested in hearing isolated sounds," she said. "[The sounds] get gigantic because it's a huge-scale room. So if you open a filter, close a filter, or work with delays, it gets really monumental."
Fast forward to March 2020 and Barbieri is alone at home in her apartment. Outside, the streets are eerily quiet; inside, her days are interrupted only by the ring of the doorbell as groceries and other essentials arrive. In her home studio, Barbieri is surrounded by her beloved modular synthesizer, an electric guitar and laptop. This time round there is no audience or grand space to bounce a record's worth of ideas and sound off — just herself, four walls and the occasionally striking sunsets visible from the room. Barbieri freely admits it was a "big shift," missing the "feedback of energy" that previously helped her sculpt electronic signals and algorithms into razor sharp compositions. But the musician also says she'd reached the end of the road with that particular mode of working, itself borne from the constraints of touring — namely the limitations of what she could lug around on the road.
Despite the isolated working process, Spirit Exit is Barbieri's lushest album. The synths still fizz, darting and swooping in concert like a twinkling, virtual constellation, but they have less of an acid crunch. On "Transfixed," Barbieri sings (not the first time in her discography, but most prominently), her vocals layered and autotuned, processed through her modular synthesizer as if she has finally become the cyborg hinted at through her discography. During "Canticle of Cryo," post-rock guitars join the synthesizers, Barbieri's vocals no longer wordless. "You melt time / You melt skies / You challenge centuries," she sings, the album's ecstatic, nearly devotional themes pushed to their metaphysical limit.
As she worked on the album in total solitude, Barbieri began to see a parallel between her own circumstances and women who have created work in a similarly hermetic state. She references the notorious recluse and 19th century poet Emily Dickinson, as well as the 16th century Spanish nun Saint Teresa of Ávila, figures who looked deep inside of themselves to create art that aimed to inspire higher states of consciousness. "The state of isolation resonated with me because it seems to be at the root of this visionary female thinking," says Barbieri. "These women couldn't freely move in the outside world so they were longing for freedom in their own interior worlds. They redirected their energy towards the cultivation of cosmic, nearly science fiction work."
On "Broken Melody," Barbieri occupies that kindred space more explicitly than ever. Backed by a pensive, gently plucked guitar, she sings angelically of "Accessing edges / Of ecstasy / That no other alien could imagine." Synths gradually rise in intensity before erupting as a deluge of arpeggios, Barbieri's vocals transforming into an emo wail. "Like a melting snowflake in your mouth / Our future is so volatile," she cries, simultaneously focusing on the ephemerality of the present and a sense of time stretching onwards uncertainly.
These big ideas of time, perception and euphoria might sound religious but that's not how they figure in Barbieri's thinking. The ecstasy that her albums quest towards stems from Barbieri's idea of being present in the moment, a "radical immanence" as she puts it. She describes sounds hitting the ear, getting transduced into electrical impulses in the brain, and the body vibrating at that particular frequency. "It's a physical phenomena, a simple experience," she says, "and somehow it makes you more receptive towards what's happening around you." Barbieri puts it another way: the act of listening is a "gate," one that puts you in communion with your surroundings.
At the close of Spirit Exit on "The Landscape Listens," the electronic artist paints a gently undulating picture of nature itself. The title invokes a line from Dickinson's poem, "There's a certain Slant of light": "When it comes — the Landscape listens / Shadows — hold their breath," words that present nature as a fundamentally dynamic phenomenon, filled with movement, motion and wonder, the same qualities as Barbieri's spiraling synthesizer music. For the artist who finds inspiration in nature, "music is able to convey the beautiful, ineffable feelings it triggers." She says these kinds of experiences, "almost spiritual moments of connection," are becoming increasingly rare in our "ultra-capitalist societies," within which nearly every aspect of our lives is commodified.
If there is a broader aim of Barbieri's work then it's to break the bonds of forces that all too often hold us in stasis, that keep us closed off from the world. Her music is deeply psychedelic and, by extension, subversive; like nature its effects can't quite be narrowed down or predicted. As such, "The Landscape Listens" is a fitting, expansive end to an album rooted in solitude but which "longs for the outside world, longs for real life" — in all of its incongruences, imperfections and wonder. For Barbieri, like Dickinson, such a place was fundamentally inaccessible; instead, shuttered in isolation, she was forced to create "a vastness of space on the inside."

A couple of weeks ago, I tested positive for COVID. I went on the antiviral drug Paxlovid right away. I felt significantly better after being on it for three or four days. When I took a home test, I was still positive, but only had a very faint line.
Then, after finishing the five-day course of the drug, I started feeling sicker again. My fever returned. I started testing strongly positive.
What happened to me has happened to lots of other people—including Anthony Fauci—and has been dubbed “Paxlovid rebound.” The rebounds don’t seem to be landing people in the hospital or leading to death, but they’re not fun. And more importantly, they have public health implications, because people who thought they weren’t contagious anymore actually might be. What we don’t really know yet is what’s driving these rebounds and how common they truly are.
On Sunday’s episode of What Next: TBD, I spoke with Rachel Gutman-Wei, a reporter for the Atlantic, about the mysteries of Paxlovid. Our conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity.
Lizzie O’Leary: In December of 2021, the Food and Drug Administration granted Pfizer an emergency use authorization for Paxlovid. The US government placed an order for millions of courses of treatment. What was the public reaction to the release of the drug?
Rachel Gutman-Wei: It was called a monster breakthrough, miraculous, the biggest advance in the pandemic since the vaccines.
And what garnered the headlines and praise were some pretty amazing numbers from Pfizer’s clinical trial, about how well the drug worked to keep people out of the hospital and keep them from dying. What did the data say about Paxlovid?
There were two main sections of the clinical trial. Number one was in unvaccinated people who had some kind of risk factor for severe COVID—that’s the high risk group. The high risk portion in unvaccinated people found an 89 percent reduction in risk of hospitalization and death, which is great. It’s really, really important that that population can be protected because they’re at the highest risk of going to the hospital, having severe complications, possibly dying from COVID. And there are still 300 people or so dying a day from COVID and presumably some of them are not vaccinated and have these sort of risk factors. So protecting them is super important.
But there was another part of the trial, what’s called the standard risk trial. What happened in that group?
It was a different story in the standard risk trial. So that’s people who are vaccinated, but it excluded anybody who had received a vaccine in the last 12 months. It also included those people who were unvaccinated, but don’t have risk factors. They didn’t really find any significant effects of the drug on preventing hospitalization, ICU admissions, or death. They found trends pointing in the right way, but they weren’t statistically significant. They also didn’t find any benefit in terms of having symptoms for a shorter amount of time, second alleviation, any of that. So it’s not as clear from the standard risk data, what exactly Paxlovid has to offer for vaccinated people.
How much data exists on a vaccinated person or a vaccinated and boosted person taking Paxlovid and what kind of efficacy the drug has for them?
There was an Israeli study about a month and a half ago that looked at both vaccinated and unvaccinated people, and it was, crucially, done during the omicron era. The Pfzier trial was conducted pretty much completely in the delta era. So some of the difference, the daylight between the amazing results in the high risk trial and the not as great results in the standard risk trial could also have something to do with the variant. But this Israeli study basically found that people over 65, whether they’re vaccinated or not, got a ton of benefit from Paxlovid and people under 65 got virtually none, regardless of their vaccination status.
Now that we are in this scenario where people can get it—and get it for free, because the US government has purchased a lot—who is supposed to be prescribed Paxlovid right now? I think that is a little bit confusing to people.
Yeah, and it’s confusing to doctors too. The emergency use authorization from the FDA is fairly broad. It’s basically: If you’re over 12 and you have COVID and it’s been five days or fewer since your symptoms started and you have a risk factor, then you can have it. And, the risk factor-worth language has been pretty broad since the beginning of COVID for lots of good reasons. But at the same time, you could have a perfectly healthy 15-year-old with mild asthma, be eligible for Paxlovid.
How widespread is its use?
Since it was authorized in December and as of June 26th, which is the most recent HHS data that’s available, more than 1.8 million Americans have taken it. So it’s a lot.
While Paxlovid clearly has benefits, there are still a lot of unknowns about it, including why it can cause a weird side effect known as Paxlovid mouth. What is that?
People have described it as bitter, sour, metallic. One person described it to me like if you mixed grapefruit juice and soap together, somebody said it tastes like burnt grapefruit. It doesn’t sound good. Pfizer said that that was happening in five or 6 percent of people, but almost everybody I spoke to for the article about Paxlovid mouth said no way, it’s happening to way, way, way more people. I spoke to a couple of dozen people just in my reporting on Paxlovid and every single one had Paxlovid mouth.
Then there is the issue of rebound. I think it might be helpful to define what we’re talking about when we say rebound—how would you describe it?
I would say that rebound is when you have taken Paxlovid, you’ve finished your course, your symptoms have abated, you test negative—and then within a few days you get a reversal. You test positive again, your symptoms come back.
Rebound makes me wonder whether there’s any data on if the treatment is extending the course of the infectious period. It feels like a very thorny question, not just for individuals, but for public health, right?
Absolutely. And the scenario in which people think they’re in the clear and then go out and infect other people is one of the reasons why it’s really important to find out exactly how widespread Paxlovid rebound is. I mean, if it’s really only happening in a few percent of people, then maybe it is okay to tell people, “If you finish your course, it’s been 10 days since the start of your symptoms, you’re free.” But if 10 or 20 percent of people are getting rebound, we might want to issue different guidance.
Pfizer has said that it’s seen a rebound rate of about 2 percent of patients who take Paxlovid, but as the drug is more widely adopted, patient experiences seem like they might tell a different story. What’s causing that mismatch?
Part of the problem with the Pfizer data is that all we have is a number. All we have is 2 percent. We don’t really know where they got that number from. They haven’t released the data behind it, at least not that I have seen. The Mayo Clinic study that found that it was closer to 1 percent was in 483 people, which is maybe not enough to really sus out the incidents when this is being given to close to two million people at this point. People I spoke to said that this would be the kind of thing that it would be good to study within a hospital system. So to just track everybody that a particular system prescribes Paxlovid to, and then see what happens. And there are certainly people who are doing that, but there just haven’t been results yet.
There was something in your story that really stuck out to me. And I feel like it highlighted why this is so important because you wrote that an individual patient would never know really if Paxlovid worked for them, because you can’t know how sick you would’ve gotten, if you didn’t take it. But, there’s this idea that if the drug doesn’t do that much for vaccinated people, then spending the country’s money on it might be a waste of our dwindling resources. How do we know if we are spending our money and energy well, as a country, in the arsenal of our tools to fight COVID?
This is a question that goes way beyond Paxlovid. America’s tendency to focus on one thing and run with it. We’re in an era of “Paxlovid is the thing now.” We’ve tried vaccines. We’ve given up on masks. We’ve given up on vaccine mandates. We’ve vaccinated some people. Let’s just throw Paxlovid at everybody, put all our eggs in that basket.
And as far as exactly how much money we should be spending on it, or whether it’s a waste, I think that’s more of a public health slash political judgment call. It’s really an open question whether that funding could be better spent doing further vaccine outreach, which has still been shown to connect with some holdouts and get them vaccination, or whether that could be better spent upgrading ventilation in schools and public buildings.
What else don’t we know about Paxlovid? And what do you want to know? When I went on it, I was struck by the fact that there’s basically no data on breastfeeding, and I’m at the end of breastfeeding my child. And my doctor saying, well, you probably shouldn’t, but there’s no real data. I was shocked by how little information there is.
I would say that’s a huge, outstanding question. One of the biggest ones for me is whether Paxlovid has any effect on long COVID. So there are some folks who have long COVID who have been pushing for research about whether Paxlovid can actually alleviate long COVID if you already have it. The other question is, does taking Paxlovid while you have COVID prevent you from getting long COVID afterward? That’s a really important question. Especially as a lot of the country has sort of adopted this posture of “Everyone’s going to get it. Consequences are what they are.” The consequences are a little bit different if a significant portion of the country is going to have these long term effects that impede their life.
But of course, all of this takes a long time to study, especially when it comes to tracking long COVID, and what kind of treatments might be helpful.
These are effects that last months and apparently years, so you would really want to follow up with people over months and years. So we’re not going to have answers on that for a while. Of you get COVID today and you’re somebody who has maybe a risk factor, but you’re young, you’re not super worried, nobody can tell you whether Paxlovid would decrease your chances of getting long COVID.
What do you think happens now? Is there going to be a souped-up Paxlovid? Will there be some other wonder drug?
As far as the future of Paxlovid itself, one of the interesting things is that Pfizer and the NIH are collaborating on a study of whether extending the dose time would help prevent some of those rebounds. One of the theories behind why people might be rebounding, if it is in fact related to Paxlovid, is that they’re just not taking the drug for long enough. If it turns out that an eight day course means that virtually nobody is rebounding, then that changes the calculus again. That’s one possible future. Another possible future is nothing changes about the drug, doctors and patients continue having these conversations. And some doctors decide to do it. Some doctors decide not to, depending on various risk factors. And it becomes a tool that is available to individuals, some of whom use it and some of whom don’t.
As far as broader implications, Paxlovid is something you give to people after they have already gotten COVID. And there’s a whole world of things that we as a country, we as a global community, could be doing to prevent that very first step, which is preventing people from getting COVID. So things like smarter approaches to masking, smarter and perhaps more enforced approaches to ventilation upgrades, testing requirements, improved access to testing, improved speed of testing, improved accuracy of testing. All these things could help stop chains of transmission and prevent people from even needing Paxlovid. And it would still be great to have it available if somebody did in fact get infected. But certainly it seems like it could do more good as part of a wider ecosystem of care.

By Serphin Moodley
The human, social and economic impact of the July 2021 unrest have been significant in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).
Adding to the complexity has been the April 2022 floods in the province which exacerbated the challenges of repairing infrastructure and getting KZN fully operational.
And then there has been the rise of the so-called “construction mafia” that has seen a criminal element holding construction sites to ransom and demanding builders use only their people to cover a portion of the local procurement requirement.
It hardly comes as a surprise then that recovery has been slow, with individuals, local companies and multinationals opting not to rebuild their damaged properties in Durban.
Furthermore, it has become more expensive over the past 12 months to put up new buildings in the province. This can be attributed to the shortage of materials and continually increasing steel prices.
On the upside, however, TUHF is seeing new investors take up the opportunity to establish themselves in the industrial area surrounding the CBD. This speaks volumes to the resilience of the inner-city property market.
Three major trends, and the fact that new companies are establishing themselves in the Durban CBD, could see KZN experience increased investment despite the perceived risk.
Firstly, micro-units are still popular, as people are downsizing because of the economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Secondly, many are looking for more communal living areas with their families instead of staying on the outskirts of the city.
And finally, there is a short supply of quality student residential offerings in and around Durban. With the city becoming a hotspot for tertiary education, there will be a growing need to house out-of-towners around the universities.
The regrettable events of the past 12-months have certainly given some investors reason to pause, but these three trends have not subsided and the demand for affordable inner-city housing remains on the rise. The urbanisation of the CBD is expanding beyond Durban property.
Urban densification is a national imperative for South Africa. It has been for some time, and KwaZulu-Natal is no exception. This is why TUHF has been expanding our offering in the province. We’ve recently extended our financing footprint in the Durban South Basin to include Seaview, Clairwood, Wentworth, and the industrial area of Jacobs, as well as additional parts of Durban North, Phoenix, the Bluff, and Montclair.
These communities were selected based on the potentially high demand for affordable housing investment.
Post-pandemic and post-unrest economic impacts are not the only risks that need to be discussed when it comes to inner-city property investment.
Some investors are cautious about the commercial property industry in the CBD due to subdued performance in recent years. Lack of service delivery in the inner cities has also become a deterrent. Though some municipalities are performing better than others, we’re seeing some degree of lack of delivery in all our funding areas.
This means investors are increasingly cautious about investing in urban densification or regeneration projects because, without reliable basic services, it’s harder to attract tenants and retain them
In many instances, especially in KZN, the communities have taken matters into their own hands, coming together, and using their own funds to repair infrastructure like roads. People are bouncing back despite the government’s inability to effectively manage recovery in the province.
Even so, as the country seeks to rebuild communities and recover economically following the major political and health events of the last two years, collaboration on urban densification is key to ensuring inclusivity and sustainability.
It is essential to take a long-term view of the opportunities. Entrepreneurs can capitalise on the new normal trends spurred by the pandemic.
For example, provisioning units with work-from-home capability has become more important. Reliable Wi-Fi is becoming non-negotiable in development. Good lighting, good ventilation, cost-saving approaches to utilities and other facilities that are conducive to productivity are also important for property entrepreneurs who want to attract reliable tenants.
* Sershin Moodley is the TUHF regional manager for KZN and Free State.

Erik Ten Hag’s Exodus Taking Shape?
Erik Ten Hag’s exodus is seemingly taking shape with Manchester United. The former Ajax coach started the pre-season tour with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Liverpool without the presence of the key talisman Cristiano Ronaldo.
The match was played at Bangkok’s Rajamangala Stadium.
The Red Devils ran riot over Jurgen Klopp’s side with Jadon Sancho breaking the deadlock in the 13th minute. Fred, Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellestri sealed the victory, adding their names to the scoresheet.
For the newly appointed coach Ten Hag, this is a much-needed start as Man United aims to reclaim its lost glory and restore confidence to the fans. Now a glimmer of hope is somehow there based on this pre-season result and performance.
Speaking to the media after the game, Ten Hag said that he was delighted by his players’ performance though fine-tuning is needed.
“I know we have good players, now we have to construct a team. I’m happy with the first game.
“It will take lots of time [to get this team playing my way]. I have seen a lot of mistakes today. Let’s be honest, Liverpool plays in three teams, but they were not at their strongest.
“We must not overestimate this result, but still I have seen some really good things. We have a lot of creativity and speed up front. Like I said, we have potential.
“I think that was a team with a great spirit and we know we are just getting started. The press, we made some mistakes, but we also created some chances with pressing.”
Meanwhile, Erik Ten Hag is aiming to sign Barcelona star Frenkie De Jong. At the moment it is reported that Man United and Barcelona have reached an agreement for a €65 million fee for the player.
“De Jong deal, never collapsed… but no changes: still no green light from Frenkie. Man United & Barça have an agreement ready since June: €65m, €20m add-ons [structure to be decided]. 🔴 #MUFC
“Frenkie’s priority is staying at Barça – but salary reduction still “very unlikely,” confirmed Fabrizio Romano. | https://iharare.com/erik-ten-hags-exodus-taking-shape/ | 2022-07-12T18:15:16Z | https://iharare.com/erik-ten-hags-exodus-taking-shape/ | false | 1 |

Welcome to Illuminati — The first Unlimited NFT Farming and Auto-Staking Protocol with the best sustainability in DeFi3.0
/EIN News/ -- Hong Kong, July 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The very first DeFi project with NFTs Farming, Token Auto-Staking and most importantly: stable sustainability.
What is Illuminati?
Illuminati is the very first project that provides a successful mechanism for Unlimited NFT Farming and Token Auto-Staking. With the experienced core team that have years working in financial project development, Illuminati team is proud to announce that we have given out one of the most advanced algorithms yet consistent and sustainable. At the first stage of our plan, we can see the clear problem in the DeFi and rebase token space right now is the abundant lack of sustainability, transparency, innovation, and equitability. We aim to be the new trend setter in the rebase token space and we look forward to launching Illuminati with everyone.
Illuminati provides a decentralized financial asset which rewards users with a sustainable fixed compound interest model through use of its unique NFT Farming and Illuminati Auto-Staking Protocol (IAP for short). The IAP is a new financial protocol that makes staking easier, more efficient and awards $ILLU token holders the high stable returns in crypto.
The most important feature of a DeFi project: Sustainability
After researching every other rise and fall rebase project, the team understood the key factor that keeps a DeFi project survive for months (possibly years) is sustainability. Unlike other Pump&Dump projects. Illuminati did not wish the token price to multiply at the beginning, but we aim to keep the $ILLU price in a specific range for a long period of time. The team developed some of the mechanism to support this idea such as:
Put a high tax for token buy. Our buy tax is 28% if you purchase the token directly from PancakeSwap. This will strongly solve the problem of token price dump. By preventing whales from holding a large amount of $ILLU at the beginning, then they can easily dump the project when their profit target meets.
Large amounts of Treasury funds will be used to support the token price such as subsidy, BuyBack and Burn, etc. to keep the price stably increases.
Holding NFTs for token farming and auto-staking for unlimited time. This is the best way to keep the project healthy and sustainable that provides the best compound interests as well as stable passive income for everyone.
Understanding the main mechanisms.
Illuminati NFT Farming
The Illuminati Unlimited NFT Farming Protocol is a very unique mechanism that was developed by a skillful team. This algorithm gives you the ability to buy Illuminati NFTs and then farming them for $ILLU with. This function can run forever, which means that your NFTs can continuously farm for $ILLU token in the time of forever. By reading this, we know some of you might think that the project will heavily inflate. But don’t you worry, we all have the solution and that’s why we called Illuminati an “advanced project”. With the high buy tax and Treasury use case that has been explained above. We are proud that the project will be alive for a long time. NFTs can be purchased in the Enigma Box sale that randomly opens for NFTs with different levels of rarity. NFTs is the main use case of the project that will farm for token $ILLU. The rarer the NFT, the higher fixed APR% it will get. When you get token $ILLU, it will be auto-staking for more $ILLU with the 183,394% fixed APY. This will make your $ILLU have the high compound interest rate with both farming and auto-staking mechanism.
Unlimited NFT Farming for lifetime:
- There are 5 levels of NFTs rarity: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Ruby. Different levels of rarity carry different APR% for farming. The rarer the NFTs, the more token it pays out because of high APR%
- The Enigma Box price is $300. The distribution of the funds that paid for Enigma Box is:
+ 50% added into Liquidity Pool on PancakeSwap
+ 30% auto swapped to PancakeSwap and then goes into the dead wallet for burning $ILLU
+ 20% goes into Treasury Wallet (For BuyBack and Burn, Supporting floor price, marketing and insurance).
What is Illuminati Auto-Staking Protocol (IAP)?
Illuminati Auto-Staking Protocol is a new financial protocol that makes pledging easier and more efficient and provides $ILLU token holders with the high stable return on cryptocurrency in a sustainable fixed compounding model. Illuminati has a fixed APY of 183,394% and a daily ROI (return on investment) of 2.08%.
$ILLU is a Bep20 token that automatically pays passive interest every 15 minutes.
With the Unlimited NFTs Farming Protocol + Token Auto-Staking & Auto-Compounding, Illuminati will provide an infinite passive income as long as you hold Illuminati NFTs.
$ILLU is getting closer to its fair launch, follow their community for latest updates:

City of Killeen officials issued a boil water notice for about 30 properties on Greenforest Circle, near Stonetree Golf Club, on Tuesday morning.
A repair project scheduled for 8 a.m. Tuesday will affect properties from 5710 to 5838 Greenforest Circle, the city said in a news release.
“Due to contractors working in the area, water crews will have to isolate the water main. Contractors will remain on site until all work is completed and water services are restored.

FDA to authorize Novavax's Covid-19 vaccine
The decision comes as White House officials stress the importance of vaccination to prevent severe disease.
The Food and Drug Administration is expected to authorize Novavax’s coronavirus vaccine for emergency use as early as Wednesday, two people with knowledge of the matter told POLITICO.
The regulatory clearance would likely permit the two-dose vaccine to be given to adults as a primary immunization series, limiting its use in the U.S. since roughly two-thirds of people have already received their initial shots.
But the vaccine — which relies on a protein-based technology used for decades — may appeal to the sliver of the population allergic to components of the messenger RNA vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, or who are skeptical of those shots’ newer technology.
The FDA declined to comment, and the people with knowledge of the matter cautioned the plan could still change.
Novavax, a biotech company headquartered in Maryland, still needs to complete a final round of quality testing for its vaccine over the next several days. But the Biden administration earlier this week purchased 3.2 million doses of the vaccine in anticipation of the shot soon receiving a green light from the agency.
The expected authorization comes after two years of setbacks for Novavax, once considered among the most promising Covid vaccine developers. The Trump administration in 2020 went as far as pre-ordering 110 million doses of the vaccine, investing $1.6 billion in the process.
But the company, which had never produced a successful vaccine before, ran into a series of production issues and struggled for months to meet U.S. regulatory standards, falling well behind the pace set by competitors.
Meanwhile, the FDA authorized vaccines from Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech and Johnson & Johnson, and hundreds of millions of shots were rolled out for the Biden administration’s vaccination campaign. The agency has since cleared Covid vaccines for everyone six months and up, as well as several rounds of booster shots, and granted full approval to Pfizer’s vaccine for children as young as 12.
As Novavax prepares to launch its initial shots in the U.S., the other vaccine manufacturers are working with administration officials to settle on reformulated vaccine boosters that better target the mutating virus and are expected to be distributed later this fall.
Still, the Novavax vaccine offers a fourth option at a time when White House officials are stressing vaccinations and boosters as key to preventing severe infection that could lead to hospitalization or death, even as the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the Omicron strain dominate infections across the country.
“As we see BA.5 rise across the country, we encourage all Americans to get vaccinated if they haven’t already,” Ashish Jha, the White House Covid response coordinator, said in a press briefing on Tuesday.
In June, the FDA’s external advisory committee of experts voted 21-to-0 with one abstention to recommend the agency authorize the Novavax vaccine. In late-stage clinical trials with more than 25,000 participants spanning the U.S. and Mexico, the vaccine was more than 90 percent effective at preventing Covid-19 infections and 100 percent effective at preventing hospitalizations.
Novavax’s vaccine uses an older technology than other Covid-19 vaccines: a recombinant protein made with moth cells. The company’s trials were conducted when the Alpha variant of the coronavirus was the predominant strain. While the company has provided the FDA with updated data, including the vaccine’s effectiveness against the Omicron variant, those data weren’t available for the external advisers at the time of their vote.
Once the FDA officially authorizes the Novavax shot, it will still need an endorsement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which typically happens quickly. | https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/12/fda-to-authorize-novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine-00045149 | 2022-07-12T18:22:12Z | https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/12/fda-to-authorize-novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine-00045149 | true | 1 |
PAM Wayfinding discusses how marketing digital signage is more powerful when it connects visitors with destinations, events and brands.
LOS ANGELES, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- We typically think of digital signage as serving a few roles. First, it's an advertising medium. We're all familiar with the ubiquitous large-format digital screens found in most public places – and we're all aware how good we've become at blocking those out. Lesson One is that if signage of any kind doesn't serve a very clear and specific purpose, it's no longer an effective means of either advertising or communications.
More commonly we find value in informational digital signage. For the most part, this kind of sign does provide information we want to know, such as movie listing times, building directory information or perhaps a list of upcoming events. Customers already have this basic level of information available on their mobile devices. Most marketing digital signage fails to connect information with an action.
Customers expect digital signage to provide more than a starting point. They want and need a conclusion if they're going to make the most of their precious time. Not providing this information is a huge opportunity missed, costing immediate sales and longer term customers.
So how do we create that connection?
Customers are at their most attentive when they're planning. We're all aware of this scenario – we've arrived and are planning our trip around the district. We're a little lost and want clarity. We're in a heightened state of attention due to this stress.
A customer who can quickly see a sign with SPECIFIC, PERSONALIZED information is a happy customer. A sign can point to a restaurant name, but a sign saying "Fish Tales Happy hour" is more likely to win customers. That's the power of well-executed marketing digital signage.
Done well, it will pay huge dividends for sales.

Pet Food Ingredient Market Size is projected to reach USD 77 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.2%: Straits Research
The global pet food ingredient market size was valued at USD 41 billion in 2021. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.2% to reach USD 77 billion during the forecast period (2022–2030). North America's share will reach USD 49.7 billion during the forecast period, expanding at a CAGR of 7.1%.
/EIN News/ -- New York, United States, July 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pet food is a specialized diet designed to fulfill the nutritional needs of domesticated animals. Meat, meat byproducts, cereals, grains, vitamins, and minerals are the typical ingredients in pet food. Meat, poultry, and seafood byproducts, feed grains, and soy meal make up the majority of pet food ingredients. Domesticated animals, euthanized companion animals, and horses are among the animals used for rendering. In the 1990s, the National Animal Control Association estimated that roughly 5 million animals were transported to rendering plants and recycled into pet food. They are typically referred to as meat or bone meal on ingredient lists.
Parts of damaged carcasses, bones, cheek meat, and organs including intestines, kidneys, liver, lungs, udders, spleen, and stomach tissue may be used as pet food. Cereal grains, such as soybean meal, cornmeal, cracked wheat, and barley, are frequently used to improve the consistency of the product and lower the cost of the raw materials. Blood, water, and meat broth are examples of liquid ingredients. Artificial flavors are not used in general, although certain candies may contain smoke or bacon flavors. Manufacturers commonly add vitamins and minerals to pet food.
Over time, the proportion of vegetable and grain ingredients in pet foods has increased dramatically. It is anticipated that the meat used in the first commercial pet foods will be replaced with plant-based ingredients. 64% of pet foods containing meat as the first ingredient have multiple protein sources, with chicken being the most prevalent option.
Pet food options are available for various breeds, sizes, ingredient preferences, disease conditions, life stages, and price points. Unlike service animals, companion animals have specific dietary requirements, such as pre-formed vitamin A and amino sulfone taurine in cat food, and arginine in both cat and dog food, according to studies on pet nutrition. Emerging knowledge of the nutritional benefits of minerals, dietary fiber, carotenoids, and omega-3 fatty acids and the significance of meat fats and proteins in optimal pet nutrition are the primary factors currently being evaluated in the Pet Food Ingredients Market.

Growth in Pet Population and Demand for High Protein Content Food to Drive the Market of Pet Food Ingredients
There is a growing trend of staying single or childless for longer durations, which has led to a rise in the adoption of companion animals. This trend is most prevalent in Europe and the United States, but emerging economies such as India and China quickly adapt. Hence, there is apparent demand for nutritious and healthy pet food, which is expected to propel the market.
As dogs, fish, cats, and birds have become increasingly popular as household pets, the pet food industry has exploded. The number of pets is expected to increase at the same rate over the next four years, creating market opportunities for companies that produce pet food ingredients. As more cats and dogs are adopted, there is a greater demand for pet medications, food, and accessories.
Increasing attachment to pets due to rising livelihoods and the cultural shift toward adopting pets as companions are also expected to drive the pet food market. Numerous scientific studies indicate that pets also serve as stress relievers. This is another primary contributor to the rising household adaptation of pets, driving the demand for pet food and the ingredient market.
The pet food's ingredients are abundant in high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids. When added to food, these substances increase the nutritional value of the feed and provide benefits such as increased growth rate, increased protein digestibility, enhanced feed conversion, enhanced immune system, and decreased mortality of aquatic species. Thus, it is anticipated that raising awareness among pet food manufacturers of the nutritional benefits of protein-rich ingredients will increase the supply of these ingredients.
Increasing consumer awareness of the significance of consuming foods with high nutritional value has led to increased protein demand. As the number of consumers in the Asia-Pacific region has grown, so has the demand for protein derived from animals (including fish). This is envisioned to raise the demand for fish and fish products, thereby driving the market for fish-based pet food ingredients over the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19
To curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government-imposed regulations slowed the economy, halted production, slowed the development of projects, and required market participants to cease operations. The government imposed social distance regulations that restricted the mobility and output of the labor force. As a result, the pandemic negatively impacted the supply chains of the pet food industry.
Due to the prohibition on the transportation of raw materials, the pet food industry initially encountered supply and cash flow difficulties. However, during the lockdown, the demand for pet food steadily increased in many world regions as more people adopted pets out of a desire for companionship. To meet this demand, market participants have shifted their focus from physical stores to e-commerce platforms by investing more in developing their own websites.
Nonetheless, as pet ownership increased during the pandemic, the market for pet food expanded. To meet demand and supply, producers of pet food increased production. After the lockdowns were lifted, pet food manufacturers and suppliers resumed large-scale operations, resulting in an expansion of the market.
Regional Insights
The Asia-Pacific region will have the largest market share for pet ingredient products. The area will account for approximately 35% of the regional market during the forecast period. Expanding population, rising disposable income, and a regional humanization trend have emerged as the primary factors driving up pet care expenditures. The market is shifting from mass-market to premium products as consumer preferences for natural products increase.
Due to the entry of new market participants, prices for pet food in Asia-Pacific nations are likely to decrease. In developing nations like the Philippines and Malaysia, price wars between key players and the introduction of value products expand the consumer base by making products more affordable, thereby increasing the number of consumers. In contrast, developed nations such as South Korea and Japan adopt a premium pricing and offering strategy as the norm.
North America's share will reach USD 49.7 billion during the forecast period, expanding at a CAGR of 7.1%. The regional demand for pet food ingredients is primarily driven by the increasing awareness of the positive impact on pet health and the rising trend of humanizing pets. Due to a well-established pet food industry and a high percentage of pet ownership, the United States has become the leading market for pet food ingredients in North America. Regarding populations of cats, dogs, and fish, the country ranks among the top five in the world.
In the coming years, Canada, the second-largest market in North America for pet food ingredients, is anticipated to record a significant growth rate. According to the Canadian Animal Health Institute, Canada has 8.3 million cats and 8.3 million dogs. Premiumization and product differentiation are the two most significant factors influencing the growth of the pet food industry in the region.
Key Highlights
- The global pet food ingredient market was valued at USD 41 billion in 2021. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.2% to reach USD 77 billion during the forecast period (2022–2030).
- Based on ingredients, amino acids are expected to have the highest share in the pet food ingredient market, amounting to 34% by 2030.
- Region-wise, Asia-Pacific will command the largest share of 35% of the total market share in 2030.

Interpol Share New Song “Gran Hotel”
The Other Side of Make-Believe Due Out This Friday via Matador
Jul 12, 2022
Photography by Ebru Yildiz
Interpol are releasing a new album, The Other Side of Make-Believe, this Friday via Matador. Now they have shared its fourth single, “Gran Hotel.” Listen below. The band have also shared a video for the song directed by Malia James, but right now it’s only available on Facebook, so head over there to watch it.
When the album was announced they shared a video for its first single, “Toni.” That was quickly followed by its second single, “Something Changed,” via a video that was a continuation of the video for “Toni.” Then they shared its third single, “Fables.”
The band recently announced Big Shot City, a global exhibition to coincide with the new album. The exhibition will run from today through Satuday (July 12-16) and will take place simultaneously in London, Los Angeles, New York, Mexico City, and Tokyo in collaboration with photographer Atiba Jefferson and Brain Dead Clothing.
Interpol are Daniel Kessler, Paul Banks, and Sam Fogarino. The Other Side of Make-Believe is the band’s seventh album, the followup to 2019’s A Fine Mess EP and 2018’s Marauder full-length. The album began remotely in 2020 and in 2021 the trio got together in person in a rented house in the Catskills in Upstate New York to work on the material. Then the album was finished in North London later in 2021. Flood (aka Mark Ellis) and Alan Moulder produced the album and it was the band’s first time working with the former.
“We really extracted the honey out of this situation,” said Fogarino in a previous press release in regards to working on the album remotely at first.
Kessler agreed: “Working alone was raw at first, but has opened up a vivid new chapter for us.”
Banks was stuck in Edinburgh, Scotland for almost nine months during lockdown, but enjoyed the process of writing separately.
“We usually write live, but for the first time I’m not shouting over a drum kit,” he said. “Daniel and I have a strong enough chemistry that I could picture how my voice would complement the scratch demos he emailed over. Then I could turn the guys down on my laptop, locate these colorful melodies, and generally get the message across in an understated fashion.”
Banks added: “Flood told me the vocals on the demos evoked Mickey Rourke in Barfly, singing to a patron at the end of the tabletop, and we never felt the need to flip that smoky intimacy into something big and loud when it came to rehearse and record. I got a real kick out of doing the opposite.”
Of the album’s tone and themes, Banks indicated that this time Interpol leaned more to positivity. “The nobility of the human spirit is to rebound,” he said. “Yeah, I could focus on how fucked everything is, but I feel now is the time when being hopeful is necessary, and a still-believable emotion within what makes Interpol Interpol.”
Kessler agreed: “The process of writing this record and searching for tender, resonant emotions took me back to teenage years; it was transformative, almost euphoric. I felt a rare sensation of purpose biting on the end of my fishing rod and I was compelled to reel it in.”

Since their last album, Interpol frontman Paul Banks released an album with Muzz, a new band that also featured Matt Barrick of The Walkmen and Josh Kaufman of Bonny Light Horseman. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2020 via Matador.

Lindblom was placed on waivers by the Flyers on Tuesday for the purpose of buying out his contract.
Lindblom registered 12 goals, 14 assists and 83 hits while averaging 13:48 of ice time, so there should be plenty of interest in his services on the open market, assuming he goes unclaimed. In the Swede's five campaigns, he has reached the 30-point threshold just once but could do so again if he signs with a more offensively-minded team.

Welcome to BirminghamLive's coverage of all the latest Aston Villa transfer news on Tuesday, July 12 as the club look ahead to the new season.
Villa were back in action on Saturday as they took on League Two side Walsall at the Poundland Bescot Stadium. The match saw new recruit Diego Carlos make his first appearance in a Villa shirt since completing a move from Sevilla earlier in the transfer window.
Goals from Leon Bailey, Camron Archer, Ollie Watkins and Douglas Luiz meant that Villa started pre-season with a comfortable 4-0 win. The squad have now jetted off for their pre-season tour of Australia, where they will take on fellow Premier League side Manchester United.
Off the field, Steven Gerrard made his fifth signing of the summer transfer window yesterday after an agreement was reached with Sevilla for full-back Ludwig Augustinsson. The Swedish international will provide competition to Lucas Digne after the sale of Matt Targett to Newcastle earlier in the window.
Villa are now targeting a sixth summer arrival. Follow all the latest below...

What to expect from Diego Carlos
Aston Villa have been told what they can expect from new signing Diego Carlos after his emotional exit from Sevilla.
Supporters watched Carlos in a Villashirt for the first time in the weekend’s pre-season win over Walsall after his £26million move last month. The 29-year-old played 45 minutes, alongside Tyrone Mings, at the Bescot Stadium before boss Steven Gerrardmade wholesale changes at half-time.
However, before making his first unofficial appearance for the club, the Brazilian flew back to Spain to say a proper goodbye to his former club. Sitting alongside Carlos at a press conference at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium, director of football Monchi indicated that Villa had signed “a soldier” and one of the best centre-backs in the Sevilla’s history.
Louie Barry loan move announced
Louie Barry has signed a season-long loan deal at MK Dons. The 19-year-old had several loan offers from League One clubs - including Charlton - but has opted to link up with manager Liam Manning as the Dons target promotion to the Championship next season.
Barry spent the first part of last season at Ipswich before cutting that season-long agreement short to join Swindon Town. The former Barcelona youngster really kicked on at the County Ground, scoring six in his 14 appearances before the Robins narrowly missed out on promotion in the play-offs.
Wesley weighing up European loan return
One-time Aston Villa record buy Wesley is in talks to cut short his loan spell at Brazilian club Internacional S.C.

Villa XI to take on Hednesford Town tonight
An Aston Villa XI is scheduled to take on Hednesford Town tonight in a 7:30pm kick-off at Keys Park.
Steven Gerrard's first team squad have jetted off to Australia as they get their pre-season camp underway. However, there are still plenty of players remaining at Bodymoor Heath, with the club's U23's recording an 8-2 win over Chasetown on Friday night.
Hednesford Town have confirmed that their gates and bars will be open to supporters from 6pm, with all tickets available to pay on the gate. An adult's ticket is priced at £9, with concessions (£6) and U16s (£5) tickets available cheaper, while U5s tickets are free.

Villa announce season tickets sold out
Aston Villa have confirmed that the club have sold out of season tickets for the upcoming 2022/23 season.
The number of season tickets has been capped for the third consecutive season, with Villa sharing last month that more than 26,000 fans remained on the waiting list. A small number of tickets were made available to these supporters and have now been snapped up.
The news comes weeks after the club announced plans to revamp VIlla Park. It will see the stadium reach a capacity of over 50,000 and include a new North Stand and the creation of the Villa Live venue, with work due to get underway in 2023.
Nathan Collins set for Wolves move
The highly-rated Burnley defender Nathan Collins is poised to join Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Collins was linked with a move to Aston Villa earlier in the transfer window, in addition to numerous other Premier League clubs, but looks set for a £20.5m switch to Wolves.
Villa face losing Chukwuemeka on the cheap
Aston Villa face losing Carney Chukwuemeka for 'training compensation' with Barcelona involved in the race for his signature.
Chukwuemeka has entered the final year of his contract at Villa Park and suitors are in no short supply. Premier League sides Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United have all been linked with Chukwuemeka, who has thus far rejected the offer of a new deal at Villa.
There are several interested clubs abroad too, and Barcelona are among them. It is claimed Barcelona have 'serious interest' in the midfielder and could pursue a deal when he becomes available for a minimal fee in January.
A breakdown of the possible transfer fee is available HERE
Villa boost Walsall coffers
Walsall co-chairman Leigh Pomlett has revealed Aston Villa "didn’t take a penny" of the gate receipt following Saturday’s friendly at the Poundland Bescot Stadium.
Villa travelled to near neighbours Walsall for their first pre-season friendly of the summer, and ran out 4-0 winners thanks to goals from Leon Bailey, Cameron Archer, Ollie Watkins and Douglas Luiz. Steven Gerrard’s squad have since jetted out to Australia for their pre-season tour.
Thousands of Villa fans made their way to Walsall to watch the debut of Brazilian centre-back Diego Carlos. The League Two club posted an attendance of 9,409, including 4,027 Villans.
Pomlett said: "The Aston Villa game was the biggest gate we have had here at the stadium for eight years and they didn't take a penny from it so we would like to thank them for honouring the fixture as they flew out to Australia on Sunday."
Chukwuemeka attracting 'serious' Barcelona interest
Aston Villa starlet Carney Chukwuemeka is reportedly attracting “serious interest'' from Barcelona this summer.
The 18-year-old made 12 league appearances last term as he stuck around the first team squad to continue his development. Chukwuemeka was given his senior debut towards the end of the 2020/21 season after being a talismanic figure for Villa’s FA Youth Cup-winning side.
His success continued this summer as the midfielder was one of three Villa youngsters that helped steer England to glory in the U19 Euros. However, with his contract entering its final 12 months, the teenager has been the subject of constant transfer speculation.
Two academy prospects seal loan moves
Aston Villa have confirmed that two academy youngsters will send next season in League One.
Goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo and midfielder Finn Azaz will spend the upcoming campaign in the third tier after being part of Villa ’s first team squad at the start of pre-season. Sinisalo is heading to Burton Albion, while Azaz will join up with Plymouth Argyle.
The Finnish goalkeeper was first linked with a move to the Brewers last week and was claimed to be nearing a loan switch after signing a fresh contract. However, the temporary switch for Azaz, who spent last season with Newport County in League Two, had not previously been reported.
Sevilla outline Villa's transfer plan
Sevilla have sent a message to Ludwig Augustinsson and outlined Aston Villa’s transfer plans for the defender.
Villa confirmed that the club had reached an agreement with the Spanish side over a loan deal for the Sweden international. Augustinsson is now in the process of securing a work permit before Steven Gerrard’s fifth signing of the summer can be finalised.
More on Augustinsson deal
Aston Villa have reached an agreement to sign Sevilla defender Ludwig Augustinsson on a season-long loan.
The Sweden international becomes Villa’s fifth signing of the summer and will offer competition to Lucas Digne at left-back. Numerous full-backs had been linked with a move to Villa Park throughout the transfer window following the sale of Matt Targett and Augustinsson has agreed a 12-month temporary switch.
The 28-year-old signed for Sevilla last summer after spending four years with Bundesliga club Werder Bremen and made 19 league appearances in his debut season in Spain. A teammate of fellow new arrival Diego Carlos, Augustinsson challenged first-choice left-back Marcos Acuna while in Seville and will be expected to fulfil a similar role at B6.
Breaking: Aston Villa reach Augustinsson agreement
Aston Villa have reached an agreement over the loan signing of Sevilla defender Ludwig Augustinsson.
The 28-year old is in the process of obtaining a work permit and will provide competition to Lucas Digne at left-back. An experienced defenfder, he has gained 46 caps for Sweden and made 19 league appearances for Sevilla last season.

Aston Villa in Australia as squad arrive as one
The plan tomorrow for Villa is an intense double session - one in the morning and another in the afternoon - with a rest day pencilled in for later this week. An open training session has been planned for next week (July 19) prior to Villa’s second pre-season friendly against Brisbane Roar in Townsville.
More HERE.
A smart signing
A deal to bring in Ludwig Augustinsson makes total sense. Steven Gerrard made it his remit this summer to make competition within his squad fierce.
Augustinsson - capped 46 times by Sweden - adds real pedigree to Gerrard's options at left-back. Lucas Digne will, of course, start this season as Villa's first-choice full-back on that left-hand side.
Augustinsson, 28, was signed by Johan Lange back in 2015 during their time together at Copenhagen, with the Danish club making a £3million profit on the Swede just two years later following his sale to Werder Bremen.
The versatile full-back is, of course, well-acquantined with both Robin Olsen and Diego Carlos having starred alongside them for Sweden and Sevilla respectively.
It's a really smart signing this one, with Augustinsson - whose strengths include crossing, set-pieces and aerial duals - expected to link up with his new teammates Down Under once the loan announcement is confirmed.
'Top class!'
French full-back Lucas Digne says new addition and fellow countryman Boubacar Kamara is “top class”, outlining how the former Marseille man will instil “more calmness with the ball”.
The pair have been in Australia together for the past four days being put through their paces by Gary McAllister and those who jetted Down Under early. More HERE
Hause back at base
Steven Gerrard and his squad (vs Walsall) should be arriving in Australia shortly.
However, Kortney Hause has remained at Bodymoor Heath to continue his rehab work following a knee operations earlier this summer.
We'll have a clearer understanding of Villa's full squad for their Australian Tour from tomorrow onwards.
Ludwig Augustinsson set to sign
Ludwig Augustinsson has completed his medical and is set to join Aston Villa imminently.
The left-back will initially join Villa on loan from Sevilla, with an option to buy worth €4.5m.
Sinisalo set for Burton loan
Aston Villa goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo is set to join League One side Burton Albion on a season-long loan.
Sinisalo played the full 90 minutes in Villa's 4-0 pre-season friendly win over Walsall on Saturday with senior goalkeepers Emiliano Martinez and Robin Olsen already out in Australia. The rest of Villa's squad jetted out to Australia after the game at the Bescot Stadium, but Sinisalo has stayed at home.
The Finland under-21 goalkeeper will join Burton for his second taste of senior football. Sinisalo spent the 2020/21 campaign on loan at Scottish club Ayr United, where he made 22 league appearances.
Head over to Ash's Q&A
Villa reporter Ashley Preece is answering all of your questions this morning on a live Q&A.
Lots of things are on the agenda, such as transfers, the upcoming tour of Australia and the opening pre-season friendly at Walsall on Saturday.

Porto set Otavio price tag
FC Porto will only sell coveted midfielder Otavio if his buy-out clause is met.
Portugal international Otavio has been linked with a transfer to the Premier League, and Aston Villa are reportedly among his suitors. Villa boss Steven Gerrard is keen to sign another midfielder after strengthening his defensive options already this summer.
Once the signing of Swedish left-back Ludwig Augustinsson is confirmed, Villa will try to bolster their attacking options. A new midfielder and forward could arrive before the transfer deadline on September 1.
Revealing Porto’s hardline stance, president Pinto Da Costa said: “Whoever wants a Porto player now knows they have to pay the clause in cash.”
According to reports, Otavio’s €40m (£34m) buyout clause expires on July 15, when it will rise to €60m (£51m). Otavio has three years remaining on his Porto contract.
Laimer is a Gerrard fan
Aston Villa continue to be linked with RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer as Steven Gerrard's squad begins to take shape.
The Villa boss handed a debut to Brazilian centre-back Diego Carlos at the weekend, and fellow new signings Robin Olsen, Boubacar Kamara and Philippe Coutinho have linked up with the squad in Australia. Swedish left-back Ludwig Augustinsson is poised to join Villa from Sevilla to provide competition for Lucas Digne.
Villa will now focus their energies on more attack-minded players with a new midfielder and forward on Gerrard's radar. Austria international Laimer is reportedly of interest to Villa.
Bayern have also been linked with Laimer, who is reportedly available for around €20million ahead of his contract at Leipzig expiring next year. Villa have a trump card in Gerrard though, with Laimer admitting to idolising the former England and Liverpool captain during an interview in 2018.
“The way he (Gerrard) played football, displaying such passion and emotion – I’ve always identified with him,” Laimer said.
Aston Villa replicate Leicester City transfer trick after Steven Gerrard decision
Ashley Young will remain at Aston Villa for the duration of the 2022/23 campaign after the veteran signed a new one-year contract earlier this week.
The 37-year-old adds a wealth of knowledge and experience to Steven Gerrard's dressing room and the Villa head coach claims that offering the versatile star a new deal was a no-brainer. "It was an area of the squad where we believed we needed experience around the group," Gerrard said.
"We’ve got a lot of talent emerging, the likes of Jacob Ramsey who’s really grabbed a position in the team, and they need people to look up to. We need to have people who set standards on a daily basis, who are winners. Ashley ticks all of those boxes."
Steven Gerrard 'held talks' before Everton signed Aston Villa transfer target
Aston Villa head coach Steven Gerrard reportedly held talks with James Tarkowski before the former Burnley defender signed for Everton.
Tarkowski left Turf Moor following the expiration of his contract, which ended at the end of June, and he penned a four-year deal at Everton to join Frank Lampard's squad. But The Athletic has claimed that Villa were keen to recruit the centre-back too, as they were the first club to show they were willing to match the 29-year-old’s wage demands.
His Burnley team-mates were also expecting him to eventually join Villa, according to the report, while Fulham, Newcastle United, Roma, Borussia Dortmund, Atlanta and an unnamed Spanish club were all in the background at different stages. Villa's interest however, was said to be more concrete.
Aston Villa's next transfer priority after Johan Lange finds breakthrough
Aston Villa are set to make their fifth summer signing as left-back Ludwig Augustinsson closes in on a move from Sevilla, according to reports.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano claims that Villa have an agreement in place to sign Augustinsson, but a few more details need to be signed off before the move is officially confirmed. The Sweden international is well known to Villa sporting director Johan Lange, who worked at Copenhagen as a technical director throughout Augustinsson's two-year stay at the Danish giants.
And after Lange has found a breakthrough in negotiations with Sevilla to take the left-back on loan next season, with an option to buy as per to reports, head coach Steven Gerrard will hope the club can wrap up a deal to recruit a new midfielder in this window too.
Dean Smith's transfer gift to Aston Villa as NSWE receive £186m boost
Aston Villa are gearing up for their fourth Premier League campaign since escaping the Championship in 2019, as owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens continue to fund the club's progression from second division strugglers to European hopefuls.
After staving off an instant return to the Championship on the final day of a gruelling 2019/20 season, Villa have finished in the middle of the pack for two successive campaigns now - although, a 14th-placed finish last season was an underachievement. Head coach Steven Gerrard wants to continue adding experience and quality to his squad to help the club achieve its ambitious goals in the coming years.
Philippe Coutinho, Lucas Digne, Diego Carlos and Boubacar Kamara are just four eye-catching arrivals under the former Rangers boss since he swapped Ibrox for Villa last November. And while he hopes to find more joy in this summer market, he already has the luxury of working with a top group of footballers.
Walsall send Villa and Gerrard message
Aston Villa have been thanked by Walsall manager Michael Flynn after the weekend’s pre-season clash, with the manager predicting Steven Gerrard will have a ‘bright career’ in the game.
Villa opened their pre-season campaign with a comfortable 4-0 win over the Saddlers thanks to goals from Leon Bailey, Cameron Archer, Ollie Watkins and Douglas Luiz. The game also saw summer signing Diego Carlos make his debut for the club.
Steven Gerrard ’s side were followed by over 4,027 travelling fans with supporters keen to get a glimpse of the squad before the start of the new Premier League season. The travelling support were part of a 9,409 strong crowd. Following the game, the Walsall boss outlined the challenge that Villa posed to his team.
Diego Carlos' message
Aston Villa summer signing Diego Carlos has sent a message after a ‘very special day’ as he made his debut for the club.
The centre-back arrived at Villa Park earlier in the summer transfer window, joining from La Liga side Sevilla for a fee of around £26 million. He put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the club.
The new arrival officially said his goodbyes to his former club in a press conference this week. He pulled on the Villa shirt for the first time this weekend when he was named in the starting lineup for the first pre-season friendly of the season against Walsall.
Augustinsson verdict
Aston Villa fans have delivered their verdict on a reported move for Sevilla left-back Ludwig Augustinsson this summer.
Steven Gerrard is on the search for more additions to his squad after completing the signings of Boubacar Kamara and Diego Carlos. Villa have also finalised permanent moves for lost season’s loanees Philippe Coutinho and Robin Olsen.
It now looks like a fifth summer signing is on the cards, with reports that an agreement has been reached with Sevilla for the transfer of Sweden international Augustinsson. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that the 28-year-old is set to join on a season long loan.

Pancake Shop owner Hunter Myers (center) with longtime employees McKenneth “Kenny” Hamilton Jr. and Billie Millner.
If you glance down, you might see Hunter Myers wearing his “breakfast socks” — gray socks with little bacon, toast, and sunny-side-up egg designs.
They’re a perfect fit for Myers, a gift from his mother after he bought The Pancake Shop on March 1, 2022. “I looked down and I saw this pair of socks folded over with a little bow on them on the table,” Myers says. “It said, ‘Congratulations’ on the card.”
So far, owning the iconic restaurant on Summer Avenue has been “a fine ride,” says the 44-year-old Myers. He was told the restaurant was started in 1957 and went through three owners until he bought it.
Though his family moved to Memphis when he was five years old, Myers says, “I never went to The Pancake Shop growing up.” But he certainly knew about it. “It’s a northeast Memphis tradition. It’s a staple. You’ve got The Pancake Shop and Bryant’s Breakfast on Summer.”
“It’s the last bastion of classic diners. Since the Blue Plate Cafe closed down, there are not that many classic diners left in Memphis.” — Pancake Shop owner Hunter Myers
One of his dad’s friends, a financial analyst, told Myers, who was then general manager at the Oasis Cafe at Hilton Headquarters in Memphis, that The Pancake Shop was for sale. He said, “Hey, I’ve got a restaurant place you might be interested in,” Myers says.
Myers, who began as a kitchen manager for the old TGI Fridays in Overton Square, worked as kitchen manager or director of operations at other Memphis restaurants.
Owning his own place was always something he wanted to do — one day, he says. “Anybody in this industry always has the ultimate dream of ownership and working for yourself. I always thought that was going to come later in life for me.”
Before he took any steps to buy it, Myers visited the little restaurant and ordered the “Everyday Special” on the menu. “I finished my eggs, hash browns, and sausage and started on the pancakes. I thought, ‘Well, these had better be the star of the show. It’s The Pancake Shop, for crying out loud.’ I got halfway through the pancakes. I couldn’t go any further. I was stuffed. I couldn’t eat any more.”
He then told his dad’s friend, “Put my name in the hat and put me in the bidding war.”
Myers couldn’t get over how thick and fluffy the pancakes were. He was especially impressed with the attention paid to the batter. “You can tell when someone doesn’t follow the recipe,” he says, “not whipping it enough to get the air in it.” Being in the food industry, Myers knows that air creates a fluffy pancake. “I could tell that batter was made perfectly, stored at the right temperature from beginning to end.”
Even so, he wasn’t able to buy the business immediately. “There were several other fairly high-profile restaurant owners in the city that were wanting this place,” he says. “It was a bidding war there for a while.”
He did tell the former owner after he bought it, “When you come in here 20 years from now, it will still be The Pancake Shop. I have no intention of changing the name, image, and likeness of this brand.”
Myers says, “There might be new furniture and paint on the walls, but it will always be The Pancake Shop. I don’t want to change too much. I’ll do some renovations on the building. Some things need to be done.”
But he considers that just “spring cleaning.”
No matter what, The Pancake Shop staff stays. McKenneth “Kenny” Hamilton Jr., who has worked there for 29 years, will remain as head cook. And Billie Millner, who has been a server for 30 years, is still in the dining room, giving coffee refills and taking orders.
In addition to the variety of pancakes, which includes “bacon chip,” “sausage crumble,” and “pecan walnut,” The Pancake Shop also features meat-and-three plate lunches, which customers can order until closing.
The Pancake Shop is still cash only, but the restaurant, which for a long time was a 24-hour-a-day operation, now opens at 6 a.m. and, for now, closes at 7 p.m. But that closing time could change, Myers says.
One of the servers created a new logo, which Myers uses on Facebook and Instagram. But he knows better than to change the legendary red-and-white sign on Summer Avenue.
Franchising The Pancake Shop might even come in time, he says. “Five years from now I want to have a Pancake Shop on the Collierville Square. It needs a good breakfast spot.”
For now, though, he is concentrating on the original. “It’s the last bastion of classic diners. Since the Blue Plate Cafe closed down, there are not that many classic diners left in Memphis.”
And customers shouldn’t think they have to order a traditional breakfast at The Pancake Shop. “You can come in at 6 in the morning, get a ribeye that was cut at Charlie’s Meat Market, and a loaded baked potato. It happens all the time,” the owner says. “People get off a night shift at 6 a.m. and they want dinner.”
The Pancake Shop is located at 4838 Summer Avenue in the Bell Plaza Shopping Center. | https://memphismagazine.com/food/classic-dining-the-pancake-shop/ | 2022-07-12T18:37:24Z | https://memphismagazine.com/food/classic-dining-the-pancake-shop/ | true | 1 |
Giant sequoias may benefit from fire in California's Yosemite, official says
By Andrew Hay
(Reuters) - The fire in California's Yosemite National Park may benefit some of the world's oldest giant sequoias by helping release seeds and clear debris from the forest floor, preventing more severe blazes that could wipe out many of the massive trees, an official said on Tuesday.
The fire started on Thursday in the park's Mariposa Grove, home to more than 500 mature giant sequoias, the largest tree species by mass. The trees have survived thousands of years despite regular fires touched off by lightning.
The low-intensity blaze, named the Washburn fire, likely killed a couple of younger sequoias growing in the southern part of the grove, said Stanley Bercovitz, a spokesman for the fire's incident management team.
But it also incinerated scrub and dead trees that, if left unburned, fuel severe fires capable of torching larger sequoias more than 200 feet tall and about 3,000 years old.
Drought-fueled blazes in California's Sierra Nevada range, the giant sequoia's natural habitat, have wiped out up to 20% of the tree's population in recent years, according to biologists.
"It was definitely beneficial," Bercovitz said of the Washburn incident. "Fire in the right amounts, it's very healthy."
The Washburn blaze mimicked natural fires that for millennia have produced enough heat to open cones without burning through the sequoias' thick bark. In the process, soil is enriched with nitrogen from burned wood.
Yosemite officials have long used prescribed burns to remove a build-up of fuel caused by over a century of fire suppression.
The Washburn fire did not start naturally and its cause is under investigation, officials said.
By Tuesday morning, the blaze was 22% contained, having burned through 3,221 acres (1,303 hectares), according to the Inciweb incident information system.
The Mariposa Grove remained closed to visitors, while the rest of the sprawling park has stayed open.
California's fuel-choked forests, combined with drier conditions linked to climate change, have created conditions for the eight largest wildfires in state history since 2017, according to California Department of Forestry Protectiondata.

In case you haven’t heard yet, it’s Prime Day. And while that means there are deals galore out there, this deal on a $99 Insignia 32” Fire TV (opens in new tab) is turning lots of heads around here.
It’s rare to see a TV under $100 and for it to be a 32-inch smart TV really makes it something special — that said, it does come with an important caveat. This is a 720p set, so it's not full HD.
Still, it’s a $99 TV and for a certain type of buyer, it could be worth snatching up. Here's the quick pros and cons.
Buy it or skip it?
So who would benefit most from a $99 TV? At the 32-inch screen size, this would be great in a bedroom or in a kitchen. Somewhere that you’d like a TV nearby and don’t necessarily need it to be the highest caliber in case something goes wrong.
With built-in streaming services, putting this Fire TV in a kids room would allow you to stream their favorite shows in the afternoons and in the kitchen you could use it to watch the news or keep tabs on the weather. It’s very versatile, honestly.
The place we wouldn’t recommend it, though, is your living room. Unless you plan on sitting right next to it (within four feet) a 720p 32-inch TV is going to lead to a disappointing experience. The speakers are going to be a bit weak at this size and 720p won’t show you all the details in your favorite shows and movies.
Be sure check out all of the best Amazon Prime Day TV deals like the 43” TCL 4K Android TV (opens in new tab) that’s down to just $249 from $349.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Shares of American Airlines soared 10% Tuesday after the carrier said that it expects to post a pretax profit for the second quarter, as vacationers pack planes during the summer peak season.
The airline said it will earn $585 million in pretax income for the May-June quarter.
American reiterated that revenue will be about 12% higher than in the same quarter of 2019. Savanthi Syth, an analyst for Raymond James, said that was a notable achievement in the face of “industry operational issues,” a reference to frequent flight delays and cancellations this summer.
Airlines are booking higher revenue as travel rebounds more quickly than expected from the worst of the pandemic, but they also face rising fuel costs. American said it paid between $4.00 and $4.05 per gallon in the quarter, eight cents per gallon more than it had expected.
American, based in Fort Worth, Texas, is scheduled to report second-quarter results on July 21. | https://www.lmtonline.com/business/article/American-Airlines-says-it-will-report-a-pretax-17299925.php | 2022-07-12T18:44:37Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/business/article/American-Airlines-says-it-will-report-a-pretax-17299925.php | true | 23 |
Greggs has made a mockery of Kanye West online, by comparing the design of his latest Yeezy shoe range to a beloved staple product made by the pastry experts.
The 45-year-old rapper and producer from the United States initially began collaborating with Adidas on the shoe line in 2013, and is no stranger to thinking up unusual twists when it comes to creating his world-famous brand.
In May 2022, Kanye and his Yeezy team announced the launch of their brand-new 450 Sulfur shoe in beige. The sock-like fitting shoe retails for a steep price point of £301, and is made up of a knitted material complemented by bone-coloured rope laces.

And although there are many fans of Kanye's interesting designs, The Mirror reports that not everyone likes his eclectic taste. Taking to Twitter on Monday, Greggs poked fun at the design of the new sneakers - comparing them to their nationally famous sausage rolls.
Re-tweeting an image of the shoes, the bakery chain wrote: "Two sausage rolls short of a multipack."
And the hilarious remark didn't go unnoticed - with Greggs fans flooding the comments section to express their humour.
One said: "Just need to pop it in the oven to warm up lol," while another, added: "Looks more like a Cornish pasty."
A third wrote: "Didn't think you could get anything worse than Crocs! (Sorry croc lovers!)," while a fourth, shared: "Whatever you do, don’t chew the shoes."
Another poked fun asking: "Kanye get these in vegan?"

Tony Rock Doesn't Hold Back His Feelings About Brother Chris' New Relationship With Lake Bell
Chris Rock and Lake Bell have been the surprising new couple of summer 2022. First spotted dining together over the Fourth of July weekend, a source told People at the time that the actors have been testing the romantic waters for a few weeks. "It's a pretty new relationship," the insider said, adding that the busy entertainers "see each other when they have time." After all, Bell has two children with ex Scott Campbell, whom the source described as "her first priority." With Rock continuing his Ego Death World Tour through the year, his tour dates have also interfered with his and Bell's meet-ups, per another source who later told People that the relationship has actually been budding for several months.
"I can't say how serious this romance is or what it will become because it is way too early," the latter source shared, adding that Rock and Bell appear strongly bonded through their "giant sense of humor." "They create a storm of laughter when together and both are real people," the insider gushed, calling the pairing "a good match."
Not one to stay silent in matters concerning the "Fargo" star, Chris' brother Tony Rock has offered his two cents on his sibling's new romance.
Tony Rock loves the curiosity about Chris Rock's love life
Tony Rock has an interesting take on brother Chris Rock's new relationship with actor Lake Bell. Speaking to TMZ on July, the comedian gushed about the underlying implications of tabloids covering Chris' love life. "As a brother, I'm very happy for him because, number one, nobody cares who the ugly guys are dating... So the fact that this is getting so much attention, I'm like, 'Damn, they must really think my brother's kind of handsome,'" Tony facetiously mused. "So, I'm happy for him to be in this new handsome light."
Tony admitted, however, that it was apparently too early in the relationship for Chris to have directly filled him in on Bell. "I don't know who she is," Tony confessed, continuing, "Is she an actress? ... I haven't met her." The "Think Like a Man" actor said he was "definitely looking forward" to meeting Bell when (or if) the time comes. For now, however, Tony is "just happy to see [Chris] happy" and was glad that people seemed to "have a favorable opinion of him nowadays."
Chris divorced ex-wife Malaak Compton Rock in 2016, publicly admitting since that his infidelity played a role. "I was a piece of s***," Rock admitted during a comedy gig in 2017, per Rolling Stone. Since then, he dated "Night School" star Megalyn Echikunwoke for four years until 2020, per Page Six, before being linked briefly to actor Carmen Ejogo, according to People. | https://www.nickiswift.com/925054/tony-rock-doesnt-hold-back-his-feelings-about-brother-chris-new-relationship-with-lake-bell/ | 2022-07-12T18:50:54Z | https://www.nickiswift.com/925054/tony-rock-doesnt-hold-back-his-feelings-about-brother-chris-new-relationship-with-lake-bell/ | true | 1 |
The state government’s ambitious Seva Sindhu portal has seen a drastic increase in requests over the last year.
While the portal received close to 1.37 crore requests in the second quarter of 2021, the number increased to 2.28 crore during the second quarter of 2022.
The officials said that the requested services have gradually increased every quarter.
“For instance, in 2019, we received only close to 20 lakh applications a quarter. This gradually increased to one crore requests a quarter by the end of 2020. Now, we receive over two crore applications a quarter,” a senior official said.
According to the data, the number of services offered on the portal has also increased over the years. The portal, which offered only 60 services in 2018, now provides access to 798 services across 74 departments.
The award-winning initiative, which was launched in 2018, aims at providing seamless, end-to-end delivery of services to citizens.
Speaking at the regional conference on 'Bringing Citizens, Entrepreneurs, and Government closer for good governance', T M Vijay Bhaskar, chairman of the Karnataka Administrative Reforms Commission, said that Karnataka is leading the country in taking up technological initiatives to improve ease of living and Seva Sindhu is one such example.
Along similar lines, the state government’s yet another initiative to improve ease of living, the Sakala scheme, has also seen an increase in applications over the years.
From close to 220 lakh applications a year in 2020, the number of applications has increased to over 325 lakh applications in 2022.
The Sakala scheme promises delivery of government services within a stipulated period of time.

NTT Ltd. Japan Corporation, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., PC Landing Corp, and JA Mitsui Leasing, Ltd. today announced the launch of a new company, Seren Juno Network Co., Ltd. (“Seren”) which has been founded to construct and operate “JUNO”, the new and largest trans-Pacific submarine cable system (providing the maximum capacity of 350Tbps) that will run between Japan and the US.
According to leading telecommunications industry analyst firm, TeleGeography, global internet bandwidth has risen by 29 percent in 2021. This growth trajectory is expected to continue upward driven by the deployment of 5G, IoT and edge compute technologies. And with existing Japan-US cables nearing capacity, JUNO is very much needed to meet the increasing demand for global internet bandwidth.
“With the rapid growth of the global digital economy and an increasing demand for cloud solutions and lower latency, the undersea internet cable sector is quickly becoming more critical to global internet infrastructure,” said Takanobu Maeda, President and Chief Executive Officer, NTT Ltd. Japan Corporation. “This new subsea cable is the latest joint effort NTT has led in a long and proud history of providing reliable global internet infrastructure.”
Japan in particular, located midway between the US and key Asian markets, has played the important role of “Data Hub” in the Asia-Pacific region. As such, JUNO is expected to be an ideal addition to the undersea cable network and key to supporting the global internet backbone, and further growth in Asia-Pacific countries and worldwide.
JUNO, the new trans-Pacific submarine cable system, offers several unique benefits to customers:
- It will introduce leading-edge SDM (Space Division Multiplexing) technology, enabling the provision of 20 optical fiber pairs (40 cores) per cable, (conventional technology currently provides a maximum of 16 fiber pairs or 32 cores).
- It provides the maximum capacity of 350Tbps, the largest among any existing cable system between Japan and the US.
- It offers high resiliency by connecting to two separate landing stations in between Japan and the US, providing additional security and resilience against any potential disturbances due to rough weather conditions, particularly along the coastal areas of Japan.
- It provides flexibility, as JUNO can alter the amount of bandwidth to each branch route according to demand and in response to customers’ evolving requirements.
Seren will provide fast and reliable network services to global major global technology companies, OTTs, telecommunication carriers, etc. enabling them to strengthen the telecommunications environment in the US and Asia, through reliable and secure sales, operations and management support.
NTT has been at the centre of global internet infrastructure development and operations for many years with an instrumental role in several subsea cable projects, including JUPITER, MIST, ASE, APG, PC-1, APRICOT and now JUNO. JUNO is expected to begin operating at the end of 2024.

CHICAGO (AP) — Mourners shared memories and tears Tuesday during the funeral for the mother of a 2-year-old boy who lost both his parents in the attack on a suburban Chicago Independence Day parade, and they pledged to care for young Aiden McCarthy and ensure he shares in their memories of his mom and dad.
Irina McCarthy, 35, and her husband Kevin McCarthy died on the parade route in Highland Park on July Fourth.
Strangers cared for their young son in the chaotic hours following the barrage of gunfire that killed seven people and wounded more than 30. A photo of the boy's round-cheeked face spread online, helping authorities to eventually reunite him with his mother's parents who had lost their only daughter.
Irina McCarthy's friends who spoke during the funeral in Wilmette, Illinois, remembered her as a big-hearted, dedicated woman who cherished her relationship with her parents and threw herself into marriage and motherhood.
Each speaker pledged to remain a part of Aiden’s life and make sure he hears stories of his parents, noting his own cheerful approach to life that echoes his mother’s smile and can-do attitude.
Family friends recalled Irina McCarthy as her mother's best friend and their own children's favorite babysitter, who calmly read aloud the definitions of “various unmentionable words” as the kids giggled endlessly.
“(Aiden) will be cared for by all of us,” said Vic Lichtenberg, a friend of Irina's parents. “He will have a family, a home and he’ll thrive and grow with us. Every moment, every time I look at that child, I see Irina.”
Brittany Chisum recalled meeting her friend in second grade. Irina was a bold, loyal girl who loved traveling abroad with her parents and became a devoted wife and a loving mother who once described herself and her husband as “obsessed” with their young son.
“I promise to always be there for Aiden ... We, as your closest friends, are going to spend the rest of our lives honoring your memory so Aiden knows what amazing parents he had,” she said tearfully.
Details of services for Kevin McCarthy, 37, have not been publicly announced.
Lake Country prosecutors charged Robert E. Crimo III with seven counts of murder last week and said they plan to follow up with attempted murder charges for each person wounded in the attack. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Mourners-remember-toddler-s-mother-for-humor-17299896.php | 2022-07-12T18:51:58Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Mourners-remember-toddler-s-mother-for-humor-17299896.php | false | 20 |
Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on Monday signed his resignation letter dated July 13 which will be handed over to the speaker of Parliament to make a public announcement on Wednesday.

Sri Lankan President, who announced his resignation on Saturday, was earlier said to have fled and was in a third country.
Speaker of Sri Lanka’s Parliament Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena on Monday clarified that Gotabaya Rajapaksa is still in the country. Sources close to the President confirmed that Rajapaksha was protected by the Armed Forces.
Just before a crowd stormed the president’s residence on July 9, Rajapaksa was evacuated from the President’s House in Fort by the security forces and was protected on a naval vessel within the territorial waters of the country for security reasons.
However, sources close to him said that Rajapaksa physically met commanders of the tri forces yesterday morning at 9.30 am and thereafter remains in the country. His exact whereabouts in the country are unknown but he is likely to leave the country this week, paving way for a new President to be sworn in and an All Party government to be formed.
Earlier, on Saturday, Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena announced in a press conference that the President will resign from his post on July 13.
Rajapaksa’s resignation comes after thousands of people stormed into the President’s House in Fort on Saturday. The dramatic visuals came from PM’s official residence where they were seen playing carrom board, sleeping on the sofa, enjoying in park premises and preparing food for dinner.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe also announced to step down from his posts amid the ongoing protests. However, the protesters who have occupied the residences of the President and Prime Minister have cleared that they will continue to occupy their houses until they resign from their posts.
The worsening economic situation in the country has led to increasing tensions and over the last few weeks, there were reports of several confrontations between individuals and members of the police force and the armed forces at fuel stations where thousands of desperate members of the public have queued for hours and sometimes days.
Sri Lanka is suffering its worst economic crisis since gaining independence in 1948, which comes on the heels of successive waves of COVID-19, threatening to undo years of development progress and severely undermining the country’s ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). | https://banglamirrornews.com/2022/07/12/sri-lankan-president-gotabaya-rajapaksa-signs-resignation-letter/ | 2022-07-12T18:53:45Z | https://banglamirrornews.com/2022/07/12/sri-lankan-president-gotabaya-rajapaksa-signs-resignation-letter/ | true | 5 |
WASHINGTON, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers about the risk of battery fires with King Song electric unicycles. CPSC urges consumers to stop using the unicycles with model number KS-16S immediately and dispose of them at a recycling facility or household hazardous waste collection point.
CPSC is aware of one fire associated with the electric unicycles that resulted in smoke inhalation injuries to two consumers and caused substantial property damage to a commercial building. CPSC tested the product and determined the battery pack can overheat and presents a risk of fire.
The electric unicycles are made by King Song Intell Co. Ltd., of China, and are imported and sold by EWheels LLC, of Miami Beach, Florida, and other firms.
King Song and EWheels have refused to recall the product.
King Song is printed on the unicycle's pedals. The electric unicycles are white, silver, matte black or black with a black tire and have multi-colored lights that light up on the outside of the unit when in use. The serial number of affected products begins with "KS16S." The serial number is printed on a label on both pedals. The model number KS-16S is represented by KS16S at the beginning of the serial number.
The unicycles are currently being sold for between $1,200 and $1,350 online at www.ewheels.com and other retailers.
CPSC urges consumers not to purchase or sell these electric unicycles due to the hazard identified. Report a dangerous product or a product-related injury on www.SaferProducts.gov.
About the U.S. CPSC
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products.

Meta recently launched an updated Community Feedback Policy detailing how it will moderate reviews for the 200 million businesses and countless products for sale on Facebook and its sister sites.
The decision comes after years of complaints from business people concerned with fake negative reviews that sully their reputations, as well as false and manipulated positive reviews (often bought by offering incentives to customers) that boost the profile of competitors.
And thanks to a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that is interested in reining in big tech, fake reviews have become an object of increasing regulatory scrutiny.
In October, the FTC put Facebook and hundreds of other companies legally on notice, a practice that makes it easier to file civil suits and issue penalties, warning about the consequences of doing too little to combat fake and manipulated reviews.
“Fake reviews and other forms of deceptive endorsements cheat consumers and undercut honest businesses,” said Samuel Levine, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, in an accompanying statement. “Advertisers will pay a price if they engage in these deceptive practices.”
Facebook did not respond when asked if its policy update was motivated by the FTC’s recent actions. While many of the businesses listed were chain restaurants and clothing stores, which could allow fake reviews to flourish on its pages, Facebook is in the unique position of running the platform where these problematic reviews live.
Facebook has long moderated reviews, but its process has not been transparent and businesses have complained they have no recourse when flooded with fake reviews. In 2018, Alta Strada Mosaic, a Virginia Italian restaurant, was spammed with 71 one-star Facebook reviews in a single day from accounts largely based out of town. Only after a local newspaper picked up the story, and a seven-month back-and-forth with Facebook, were the reviews finally removed.
Facebook’s tens of thousands of moderators are spread across the globe and highly compartmentalized. A former Facebook moderator and an organization that works closely with online moderators said they were unfamiliar with any previous human efforts to moderate reviews on Facebook.
“I have no idea where they even do product review stuff,” the former moderator told the Daily Dot, “They don’t like to share any information about where the work is done.”
When reached by the Daily Dot, a Facebook spokesperson did not respond to questions about moderating reviews but did link to a March press release where Facebook detailed a lawsuit it had filed against an individual that provided a fake review service intended to artificially boost businesses’ ratings.
According to Aaron Minc, an attorney who helps clients deal with fake reviews and negative publicity, prior to the updated policy, Facebook would only remove a review that was “a flagrant and/or obvious violation of Facebook’s community standards.”
Until Facebook’s recent policy update, Facebook’s community standards did not explicitly forbid fake reviews, only the buying or selling of them.
Facebook’s new Community Feedback Policy forbids reviews meant to defraud, deceive, and exploit others. Reviews must now be based on a reviewer’s direct experience and cannot be incentivized without complying with Facebook’s disclosure rules. The new rules are meant to promote honesty and transparency in Facebook’s review system.
Reviews have serious consequences for businesses and products on Facebook. Consumers are more likely to buy products on Facebook than any other social media platform and 80% of them are more likely to shop at a local business with positive reviews on its Facebook page. Facebook’s algorithm is also influenced by the quality of reviews a business receives. Businesses that are flooded with negative reviews often have to pay more to reach a wider audience when using Facebook’s advertising services.
Facebook also announced that its enforcement procedures will utilize a combination of artificial intelligence and human review. In a statement, Facebook said that “it can take time for the various parts of our enforcement mechanisms to learn how to correctly and consistently enforce the new standard [for moderating reviews]. But as we gather new data, our machine learning models, automated technology and human reviewers will improve” in their accuracy.
Customers and businesses accused of violating Facebook’s fake review policy will face punishments that could deter businesses from trying to game the system. They could lose access to their product listings and advertisement services. In extreme cases, they could lose “access to any or all Meta products or features.”
Facebook recently rebranded as Meta.
But many critics are not convinced. Facebook whistleblowers Frances Haugen and Daniel Motaung have critiqued Facebook for its reliance on machine learning to moderate content, arguing that AI will never be able to replace human judgment. Regulators at the FTC issued a similar warning, arguing that an overreliance on AI can promote inaccurate, biased, and discriminatory enforcement while leading to increased consumer surveillance.
Business owners have encountered problems dealing with the AI that moderates another way Facebook interfaces with businesses, its advertising services. Many companies reported problems regaining access to Facebook’s ad services after the company’s AI mistakenly flagged content, causing account owners sudden and severe revenue losses as they waited for a human reviewer to process their appeal. It can take months for a customer service representative or one of Facebook’s human reviewers to resolve the issue.
But just announcing a new plan to combat fake reviews isn’t enough. It has to work, too. If it doesn’t as intended, the tech giant could still face lawsuits.
Last month, the DOJ reached a settlement with Facebook after the company engaged in discriminatory algorithmic advertising that violated the Fair Housing Act.
And Facebook is placed in the unenviable task of handling moderation for businesses that wish to sabotage each other, angry customers who can buy reviews in spades, and bot programs that can flood a page. Sorting through all that, alongside genuine reviews, is a massive undertaking.
But while a new policy addressing a problem that’s long plagued the site is a good start, there’s no guarantee it will work with the kind of efficacy a small business might need when its livelihood is at stake. | https://www.dailydot.com/debug/facebook-business-reviews-moderation-ftc/ | 2022-07-12T18:59:21Z | https://www.dailydot.com/debug/facebook-business-reviews-moderation-ftc/ | true | 1 |
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Najee Garvin played at three different colleges, the last being an HBCU. Being on an NBA court and wearing the NBA logo sometimes didn’t seem realistic.
He dealt with adversity after being arrested on an assault charge that was ultimately dropped. He went nearly two full years without playing a game. Garvin even became a cook at Chili’s to pay the bills.
On Monday, he wore that NBA logo after all.
Garvin was one of 28 players invited to the inaugural HBCU Showcase at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. With a few dozen scouts in the stands, and four former NBA players — all of them now at historically Black colleges and universities — doing the coaching, Garvin ran through drills and played in scrimmages, getting an audition like no other in his career.
“A job,” Garvin said, when asked what would make the day a success for him. “I’m just authentic. A job. Nowadays, it’s hard to get a job. You’ve got to be put in the right place, around the right people, who know the right stuff.”
The NBA is hoping that it put that combination of right place, right people and right stuff together — with this showcase the latest way the league hopes to give HBCU players opportunities.
There’s only one player from an HBCU school currently in the NBA, that being Robert Covington of the Los Angeles Clippers. No HBCU player has been drafted in a decade. Of the 30 rosters for teams in Las Vegas, only five featured an HBCU alum.
“I’m a visionary,” said Mo Williams, the former NBA guard who now coaches at Jackson State. “We have a lot of talent at the HBCU level that don’t get those invites to the NBA Combine, to Portsmouth, the G League Combine now, to things like that. We feel like those kids are talented enough to be professional athletes. This is a start.”
HBCU football players haven’t been left out of the spotlight. Some got the opportunity to showcase their talents in early February when the NFL hosted its first HBCU combine during Senior Bowl workouts.
The NBA has made strides for basketball players in recent years to address areas where it feels changes were needed. There are a record 15 Black coaches in the NBA right now, eight of those hires coming in the last year or so.
The 2021 NBA All-Star Game generated at least $3 million for HBCUs through donations to scholarship funds — and the exposure those schools got during the game was worth even more. The league has started a paid fellowship program that places HBCU students in jobs with the league office and with NBA and WNBA teams. And this past season, All-Star weekend included a game between Howard and Morgan State.
And now, the attention turns to individual players.
“The showcase is a chance for us to continue creating opportunity for the world’s best talent,” said Morgan Cato, an NBA vice president who is about to become an assistant general manager with the Phoenix Suns. “There’s a perception of HBCU programs not necessarily being able to turn out talent. But all of our investments from the league office are about creating opportunity, creating access, and letting great players really have the opportunity to be seen by teams.”
Many NBA players have spoken out in the last couple years about the need to help HBCU programs and improve the college experience for those players.
But there’s also a clear belief that if a player is good enough to play in the NBA — whether that player is at a Power 5 school, or overseas, or at a low-major school — someone from the league will find them.
“One thing that is undeniable is this is the best league in the world,” said Portland guard Damian Lillard, who played his college ball at Weber State and was still a lottery pick. “We want HBCUs to get more recognition. We want them to have better funding, better facilities and resources. It could be a lot better. I think that’s what has to happen.”
The showcase lasted a few hours and was basically an NBA practice: Williams, Bethune-Cookman coach Reggie Theus, Fisk coach Kenny Anderson and LeMoyne-Owen coach Bonzi Wells broke the groups into four teams, and after some drills, the players went through scrimmages.
It’s still a longshot that any of the 28 makes the NBA. But Monday might have been a step in the right direction toward getting another HBCU player to the league.
“Why hasn’t it happened? Let’s call a spade a spade: They’re not looking,” Anderson said. “The kids are not getting looked at.”
Wells said he has yet to see a pro scout at any of his team’s home games. But he presses on, insisting that he must keep trying to do his part to raise the HBCU profile at both the college and pro level, much in the same way that Deion Sanders has done with football at Jackson State.
“If we don’t do this, who will?” Wells said. “Who will? This is a blessing for us to be coaches. It’s tough for former NBA players to get jobs, and be head coaches. This is a blessing for us to have the platform that we have.”
There might be a G League opportunity for some of these players; that was the path Covington took on his way to the NBA after going undrafted. Playing internationally is another option. Former Prairie View A&M player Jawaun Daniels said he’d even listen if the Harlem Globetrotters came calling.
“My mind is always open to everything,” Daniels said.
All 28 of the players are dreamers. And maybe Monday got them one step closer to where they want to ultimately be.
“Today is the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Garvin, who played at Charlotte, Nicholls State and Hampton. “No matter where, no matter what level, it’s all about getting a job. We’ve all been overlooked, all at the bottom of the pole, and today reminds us that we can still find our way to the top.”

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — An effort to lock certain voting rights in the Michigan Constitution has taken a major step toward the fall ballot, eclipsing a rival campaign led by Republicans to limit absentee voting and add other restrictions.
Promote The Vote, a coalition of 27 groups, submitted nearly 670,000 signatures Monday. While the signatures still must be validated by election officials, the petitions contain about 245,000 more names than necessary to qualify for the Nov. 8 election.
The ballot question would expand voter rights by allowing nine days of in-person early voting, state-funded absentee ballot postage and drop boxes in every community.
Promote The Vote is the same coalition that helped pass no-reason absentee voting and same-day voter registration in 2018.
Khalilah Spencer, president of Promote The Vote, said the campaign “observed the 2020 election, and even the 2018 election, and we see where there could be improvements.”
In addition to increased access to early voting, the constitutional amendment would require 24-hour absentee ballot drop boxes in every community. Voters could also join a permanent list to have absentee ballots sent for every election.
It would also require that election audits be conducted in public by state and county officials and that elections be certified based only on the official records of votes cast.
Some portions are already in Michigan law, but the state has seen attempts at “manipulating the language in that law and we want to make sure we close those loopholes," Spencer said.
Republicans for months have made clear their intention to pass voting restrictions in the GOP-controlled Legislature by collecting enough signatures to bypass a certain veto by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The measure would implement tighter ID requirements for in-person and absentee voting and stop the mailing of unsolicited absentee ballot applications. Jamie Roe, spokesperson for the Secure MI Vote measure, said the group plans to submit signatures “very soon,” but he acknowledged that it would die if voters in November approve the Promote The Vote proposal.
Secure MI Vote organizers skipped a June 1 deadline to get on the fall ballot, with Roe telling The Associated Press that the group believed “the initiative will pass the Legislature and not even make it on the ballot so the June deadline was artificial to us.”

ATLANTA (AP) — In what he called “a measuring-stick win” in the opener of an NL East showdown, Max Scherzer was the difference-maker for the New York Mets.
Scherzer pitched seven strong innings, Luis Guillorme homered and drove in two runs, and the Mets beat Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Monday night.
“They’re a great team over there and you want to come out and play your best baseball,” Scherzer said.
The right-hander was very close to his very best. Thanks to Scherzer’s outstanding performance, the first-place Mets stretched their division lead over the Braves to 2 1/2 games.
“It makes it great when you have the guy behind you throwing zeros,” Guillorme said. “Everybody knows one or two might be enough when he’s in the game.”
Pete Alonso also had two RBIs and Scherzer (6-1) gave up only three hits, including Austin Riley’s 24th homer in the seventh. That cut the Mets’ lead to 2-1, but Guillorme answered with his homer off Darren O’Day in the eighth.
All-Star closer Edwin Díaz, pitching for the third straight day, struck out the side in the ninth for his 19th save.
Former Mets second baseman Robinson Canó, obtained by Atlanta for $1 in a minor league deal with the San Diego Padres on Sunday, had two hits in his Braves debut.
Scherzer had nine strikeouts with no walks in his second consecutive impressive start after missing almost seven weeks because of an oblique injury. The right-hander threw six scoreless innings, allowing only two hits, with a season-high 11 strikeouts in a no-decision against Cincinnati last Tuesday.
“For the second time out, that was really, really good, I thought,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said.
Scherzer did not feel any lingering effects from the oblique issue.
“I feel like the injury is really behind me now,” he said.
The successful return of the three-time Cy Young Award winner boosts New York hopes it can hold off Atlanta, the defending World Series champion.
Mets manager Buck Showalter said Scherzer overcame the challenge of “facing a really good team on the road in an atmosphere that was conducive to the home team. He’s a difference-maker.”
The Mets led the Braves by 10 1/2 games on June 1, but the lead was cut to 1 1/2 entering the series. The Braves went 29-8 and the Mets were 19-16 in that span going into Monday night.
Through 6 2/3 innings, Canó had Atlanta’s only hit off Scherzer, a single past Guillorme’s glove at second base with two outs in the third.
Riley lined a homer over the left-field wall with two outs in the seventh, ending Scherzer’s shutout bid. Marcell Ozuna followed with a double down the left-field line, but Scherzer pumped his right fist after striking out Eddie Rosario to end the inning.
Canó singled off Adam Ottavino with two outs in the eighth and moved to third on a double by Ronald Acuña Jr. Ottavino escaped on Dansby Swanson’s groundout.
Fried (9-3) gave up two runs on five hits and five walks, matching his career high, in five innings. He also walked five batters in a 9-3 win over the Cubs on June 25, 2019.
Despite the walks, Fried has allowed no more than two earned runs in nine of his last 10 starts.
New York scored two runs in the third. Brandon Nimmo doubled and scored on Alonso’s double to left field. Alonso scored on Guillorme’s grounder.
Alonso added an RBI grounder in the ninth off Jackson Stephens to drive in Nimmo from third, increasing his major league-leading total to 72 RBIs.
RILEY ON A ROLL
Riley’s homer was his third in three games. He ranks second in the National League and is tied for fourth in the majors with 24. It’s the third streak of homers in three or more consecutive games in his career. Last season, he had homers in four straight games from July 27-30.
POWER VS. BRAVES
Guillorme hit only his second homer of the season. Each has come against Atlanta. He hit his third career homer on May 4 against the Braves in New York.
“Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good,” Guillorme said. “I was just trying to put a good swing on the ball. … It doesn’t happen that often for me, but it’s great when it does.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (stress reaction, right scapula) is scheduled to make his third minor league rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday and could be activated soon after the All-Star break. … All-Star 2B/OF Jeff McNeil was placed on the paternity list. … OF Travis Jankowski (broken left hand) started in right after he was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. … RF Starling Marte (left groin tightness) was held out for the second consecutive game.
Braves: RHP Kenley Jansen (irregular heartbeat) threw in the bullpen and appears set to return from the 15-day injured list this week. … OF Adam Duvall was reinstated from the paternity list. … With Canó’s acquisition, INF Phil Gosselin was designated for assignment and 1B Mike Ford was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.
UP NEXT
Hard-throwing RHP Spencer Strider (4-2, 2.60 ERA) will try to continue his impressive rookie season for Atlanta when he faces LHP David Peterson (5-1, 3.48) in the middle game of the series Tuesday night.

Lesia Michell Jackson would have been in her late 50s by now, perhaps putting kids through college or watching them graduate high school.
Instead, the Texas 12-year-old never got the chance to reach those ages herself. Her life was taken away in 1979 by a man who kidnapped, raped and murdered her.
For decades, the girl’s slaying remained a mystery. All leads were exhausted, and the case went cold. Now, thanks to an advanced DNA-detection tool, her killer has been identified — and he too is dead.
Police used a new forensic technology known as M-Vac to identify Gerald Dwight Casey as the man who snatched the girl after she’d spent an afternoon swimming at a lake with friends and relatives.
M-Vac was originally developed to detect food contamination, according to NBC News. This wet-vacuum method of collecting DNA has since been adapted for forensic investigations. It comes in handy when swabbing won’t do the job, such as on particularly porous surfaces.
The technology enabled investigators to process samples from Lesia’s clothing, the Montgomery Sheriff’s Office said. This led them to Casey.
The Daily News Flash
Casey, it turns out, had already been executed in 2002 for another murder.
It was Sept. 7, 1979 when Lesia disappeared from her neighborhood in Montgomery County, about 40 miles north of Houston, after a day of swimming at a neighborhood pool, police said. Her family called police, who searched extensively. First they found her glasses and, about a week later, her discarded body.
“The next day her glasses were found at an area intersection, and sadly, on September 13, 1979, an oilfield worker found her body in a heavily wooded area along a pipeline near Exxon Road,” the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Monday. “An autopsy revealed Lesia had been sexually assaulted and murdered.”
That kicked off an “extensive investigation into her death that lasted for years, and while all leads were explored, the case eventually became cold,” police said.
The sheriff’s office created a Cold Case Homicide Squad in 2005 that took over the investigation. In October last year M-Vac technology was used to process evidenced from the girl’s clothing. It yielded DNA from an “unknown male” that was matched to Casey, whose samples were in the FBI CODIS database.
The search revealed that Casey had been executed by lethal injection on April 18, 2002, for a 1989 murder. It also gave police a blood sample that confirmed the exact DNA match with the M-Vac evidence, confirming him as Lesia’s killer, police said.
“This complex and detailed investigation spanning 43 years is the oldest cold case homicide investigated and solved by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office,” the department said, promising that this is not the last we’ll hear of this technology. “The tenacity and diligence in solving this case by a dedicated team is a reminder to our public and to those who commit crimes in our communities that we will never cease our efforts to solve the hardest of cases and bring closure to traumatized families.” | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/ny-lesia-michell-jackson-age-12-murder-solved-40-year-cold-case-texas-20220712-pik3gidgi5c23hl436y2qfbuee-story.html | 2022-07-12T19:19:18Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/ny-lesia-michell-jackson-age-12-murder-solved-40-year-cold-case-texas-20220712-pik3gidgi5c23hl436y2qfbuee-story.html | true | 1 |
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, 29, 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.
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.

Genesee Co. lottery club wins $1.8M after playing for 20 years
By Stephen Borowy
Click here for updates on this story
GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan (WNEM) — A Genesee County lottery club won a life-changing $1.85 million Lotto 47 jackpot after playing the Michigan Lottery together for 20 years.
Lunch Bunch Crew Lottery club members, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the winning Lotto 47 numbers drawn on June 18: 02-04-06-17-31-36.
The club members bought the winning ticket at Tom’s Market, located at 465 South St. in Ortonville.
“A co-worker and I started a lottery club about 20 years ago,” the club’s representative said. “There are currently five of us in the club and we take turns purchasing a ticket each week.”
“One day at work, a few of us saw an article about a winning Lotto 47 ticket that was sold in Ortonville and remembered we had never checked our ticket. We texted the club member who had purchased it asking where she purchased the ticket and if she had checked it yet. When we got a reply from her saying she had not checked it, but purchased it at Tom’s Market, we knew right away. We started jumping and shouting with joy!”
Lunch Bunch Crew Lottery Club visited the Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. They chose to receive their prize as one lump-sum payment of about $1.2 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount.
“We are still in shock! Winning is life-changing for all of us,” a club member said.

New Report Details Economic Impact Across 43 States
Webinar on July 14th to Review Findings
WASHINGTON, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As many small towns and rural communities across America face shrinking populations and growing economic challenges, a new report finds that a positive economic contributor to these communities is the flow of benefit dollars from public pension plans. In 2018, public pension benefit dollars represented between one and three percent of GDP on average in the 2,922 counties in the 43 states studied.
These findings are detailed in a new study released today by the National Institute on Retirement Security, Fortifying Main Street: The Economic Benefit of Public Pension Dollars in Small Towns and Rural America. The report is authored by Dan Doonan and Tyler Bond from NIRS, along with Nathan Chobo from Linea Solutions Inc.
The research illustrates the impact of benefit dollars from public pension plans according to several different measures: as a percentage of GDP by county; as a percentage of total personal income by county; and by categorizing counties as metropolitan, small town (micropolitan), or rural. This study builds on previous research, adding significantly more states and examining data in 43 states from a majority of public pension plans in the states.
Download the research here.
Register here for a webinar on Thursday, July 14, 2022, at 2:00 PM ET for a review of the findings with the report authors.
This newly-expanded report finds that public pension benefit dollars account for significant amounts of total personal income in counties across the 43 states studied. For all 2,922 counties in this study, pension benefit dollars represent an average of 1.25 percent of total personal income, while some counties experience more than six percent of total personal income derived from pension dollars.
The analysis indicates that less populated counties with smaller economies experience a greater relative economic benefit from the flow of public pension benefit dollars into the county as compared to more populated, urban counties. This larger relative impact helps to sustain the economies of small towns during this period of economic transition in rural America.
"National economic trends coupled with population declines have had a devasting impact on many small towns and rural areas across America. Often, the largest employer in these smaller towns is a public entity like a school system or municipality that employs teachers, nurses, firefighters, and public safety officials. These public employees spend their career serving their communities at a time when a growing number of young workers are leaving their hometowns for job opportunities in urban areas," said Dan Doonan, NIRS executive director.
"Eventually, public employees in rural and smaller communities retire and typically stay in their hometown. Retired public employees spend their pension income in their towns on goods and services like housing, food, medicine and clothing, which serves as a stable source of economic activity in smaller communities. Our analysis clearly indicates that pension spending provides a substantial economic impact on struggling small towns and rural communities across the nation," Doonan explained.
The report's key findings are as follows:
- Public pension benefit dollars represent between one and three percent of GDP on average in the 2,922 counties studied.
- Rural counties have the highest percentages of their populations receiving public pension benefits.
- Small town counties experience a greater relative impact in terms of both GDP and total personal income from pension benefit dollars than rural or metropolitan counties.
- Rural counties see more of an impact in terms of personal income than metropolitan counties, while metropolitan counties and rural counties see an equivalent impact in terms of GDP.
- Counties that contain state capitals are outliers from other metropolitan counties, likely because there is a greater density of public employees in these counties, most of whom remain in these counties in retirement.
- On average, rural counties have lost population while small town counties and metropolitan counties have gained population in the period between 2000 and 2018, but the connection between population change and the relative impact of public pension benefit dollars is weak.
To ensure accuracy, the data for this report was collected directly from each pension plan.

The Baltimore Orioles head into action just a week away from the All-Star break one game under .500. Without context, hovering around .500 is no great feat. In looking at the standings, the Orioles are sitting in last place and, well, that isn't exactly a proverbial feather in their collective black and orange caps.
Once we weed through all the context, however, two key points sit at the forefront of my mind.
- Orioles fans should be ecstatic right now.
- The Orioles' front office should reward these fans by being buyers at the trade deadline (caveats apply, though, and we'll get to those).
Now, the context behind the situation is simple. The Orioles have been a laughingstock. The last three 162-game seasons (2018, 2019, 2021) yielded the three highest loss totals in Baltimore Orioles history, which goes back to 1954. The Tigers, Mets, A's and Phillies are the only other teams with three 108-loss seasons in their entire history. Even worse, 14 current franchises have never even lost that many games in a season once. The Orioles did it in three straight full seasons.
Surely this started to wear on the fans. We saw it in the Orioles' reported attendance early on. A team that in the 1990s and early 2000s drew over three million fans per season and over two million from 2012-17 fell to 1.3 million in 2019. That was their lowest full-season attendance for since 1978 and this was only the second year of the radical rebuild.
We're now in Year Five.
Obviously the COVID-19 impact on attendance makes it tougher to compare 2021 to the rest of the seasons, but it was a paltry 793,229 and that wasn't all COVID-related. Many fans had understandably checked out, or at least quit spending their money on seeing the terrible product in person.
The point is, this is a fan base that has been beaten down for years. Even the three playoff runs in five seasons from 2012-16 were simply a brief reprieve for them. Since 1997, the Orioles have had a winning record just four times (2012-14, 2016).
Heading into this season, it was pretty well accepted across the baseball world -- even among the Orioles fans still paying close attention -- that there were four contenders in the AL East and one bottom-dweller.
Yes, the Orioles are still in last place, but they have won eight straight games and are 29-20 since May 18. Among AL teams, only the Yankees, Astros and Red Sox have been better in that time period. Overall, the Orioles are only one game under .500 and just two games out of the third wild card.
That's a contender. Contenders buy at the trade deadline, right? Of course they do.
Now, here's where we need to discuss the caveats.
First off, and this is a big one, the trade deadline isn't until Aug. 2. The Orioles have 16 games before then. This season we've already seen several examples of how quickly things can change with big winning or losing streaks. It should be painfully obvious that any "buying" I discuss comes with the "if they are within reasonable distance of a playoff spot" attachment. Reasonable is, of course, subjective but if the Orioles are eight games out with four teams in between them and the third wild card, no, that isn't "reasonable distance."
If the Orioles are around four games out, there are those who would argue it isn't prudent to sacrifice the long-term organizational plan in order to "go for it" this season with what is ultimately a mediocre team. After all, their run differential is -14 and projection systems don't have them sniffing the postseason (SportsLine has them going 74-88 while Fangraphs pegs them at 75-87; in both cases only three AL teams would finish behind them).
Then we have to wade through the mindset that says something like "even if they make the playoffs, what are the odds they are going to beat someone like the Astros, then someone like the the Red Sox, THEN someone like the Yankees before even getting to the World Series." It's a fair point, because they are ridiculously unlikely to make a run to the World Series. On the other hand, why is that required instead of just making a run to the playoffs?
The Sports Talk Radio mentality suggests that nothing short of a World Series title counts. We've all seen and heard this nonsense from fans and media for years. "(insert team or player) has never won ANYTHING!"
I've grown so tired of this mindset. Go watch Rockies fans in Coors Field in 2007 and tell me that team won "nothing." Ditto for the 2006 Tigers, 2008 Rays, 2015 Mets, 2016 Indians, 2018 Brewers and we could do this for at least 2/3 of the league. Not only are deep playoff runs -- especially when unexpected and/or following long droughts -- boons for team revenue, but they end up becoming some of the fondest memories fans have for generations.
Now, all of those teams mentioned above were in better position, in July, for immediate success than the current Orioles are. I'll grant that. I'm just pushing against the mindset as a whole.
The underlying thought process is that only the teams with the very best chances to make deep playoff runs should be trying to win. The radical rebuild mindset, on top of that, would be that it's better to finish with the worst record in the league than be the first team outside the playoffs. As such, if anything, this logic would dictate that these Orioles should actually be sellers. Yes, even right now.
We've seen this mentality manifest itself with a recent team that ended up making a very deep playoff run. Back in July of 2014, there were prominent websites publishing articles urging the Royals to be sellers, specifically to trade ace James Shields. There was one on July 21, actually. That date matters, because the Royals went on a winning streak starting the next day and would go 41-23 the rest of the way, getting all the way to Game 7 of the World Series.
What if Royals general manager Dayton Moore was of the mindset that they should have been sellers? We can't know the fate of the 2015 ballclub that won the World Series, but they surely wouldn't have made the run in 2014 and I'm quite confident 2015 doesn't unfold the way it does.
Odds and projections and everything in that ballpark are useful. I wholeheartedly believe that. They also aren't infallible. I think sometimes certain people lean too much on them instead of also accepting there's a human element here. This isn't a video game. People matter.
Remember when the Mariners traded stud reliever Kendall Graveman last season and the ensuing uproar from the clubhouse? We can't be certain there's a correlation, but they lost seven of their next 10 games. They then finished just two games out of a playoff spot and the longest playoff drought in Major League Baseball continued. I can't help but wonder about the impact there.
Now, this isn't to suggest that the Orioles should go all out and trade all their prospects for "win-now" guys and undo all the work they've done during the rebuild. A Tyler Glasnow, Austin Meadows and Shane Baz for Chris Archer trade would be detrimental as the Orioles look to move from terrible to mediocre (where they are now) to sustained contention. I'm not arguing otherwise.
I do believe, however, there's a call for some fan service here.
Assuming the Orioles remain in the playoff conversation, I'm urging GM Mike Elias and the rest of his front office to add at the margins. They don't have to sacrifice their top prospects or even prospects at all. They can trade minor-league organizational depth to add pieces that would be helpful for a big-league push (would Brandon Drury or José Iglesias really cost all that much?). Supplement the team. Show the players in the clubhouse and the fans that you are trying to help.
That means the clubhouse feels like the front office is behind them, not only for the future, but for this moment in time, and the fans get excited for a possible playoff push at least a year earlier than they had previously hoped.
More than anything, I'm always going to have a soft spot for, collectively, fans -- especially long-suffering fan bases. We go through years of disappointment and relative heartbreak. When the team you love is finally starting to emerge from the abyss, every little victory feels so satisfying.
Orioles fans are riding high right now. Here's hoping the front office is able to balance the long-term plan with giving some short-term fan service. And, hey, you never know how the rest of the season is going to unfold after buying. | https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/why-the-orioles-should-reward-their-fans-and-players-by-becoming-buyers-at-the-mlb-trade-deadline/ | 2022-07-12T19:30:41Z | https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/why-the-orioles-should-reward-their-fans-and-players-by-becoming-buyers-at-the-mlb-trade-deadline/ | false | 1 |
The new name marks the next phase in Tampa General's purchase of Tower Radiology.
TAMPA, Fla., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampa General Hospital and Tower Radiology have taken the next step in expanding their footprint by renaming Tower Radiology to TGH Imaging powered by Tower.
In January of this year, Tampa General announced it had fully purchased Tower Radiology, expanding its state-wide outpatient sites to 83 with the addition of Tower's 21 imaging centers throughout Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Palm Beach counties. Tampa General was previously a 50% partner in Tower before this recent purchase of the remaining 50% ownership interest.
After decades of working closely, it was a natural fit for Tower and Tampa General to come together to combine Tower's 25 years of industry expertise and Tampa General's drive to deliver world-class patient care through innovation to enhance the quality and coordination of outpatient care and achieve the optimal patient experience and outcomes.

HCL retains revenue guidance, net up 2.4%
2 min read . 12:50 AM IST- The Noida-based IT major posted net profit of ₹3,283 crore in Q1FY23
BENGALURU :HCL Technologies Ltd has maintained its 12-14% revenue growth guidance in constant currency for FY23 on the back of strong demand for digital transformation in key markets. The company also left its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin guidance unchanged at 18-20%.
BENGALURU :HCL Technologies Ltd has maintained its 12-14% revenue growth guidance in constant currency for FY23 on the back of strong demand for digital transformation in key markets. The company also left its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin guidance unchanged at 18-20%.
The Noida-based information technology (IT) services company posted net profit of ₹3,283 crore in the June quarter, up 2.4% from a year ago, but below Bloomberg consensus estimates of ₹3,322 crore. However, the company’s net profit was down 8.6% quarter-to-quarter, while revenue increased 3.8% in the same period.
The Noida-based information technology (IT) services company posted net profit of ₹3,283 crore in the June quarter, up 2.4% from a year ago, but below Bloomberg consensus estimates of ₹3,322 crore. However, the company’s net profit was down 8.6% quarter-to-quarter, while revenue increased 3.8% in the same period.
June quarter revenue rose 17% from a year ago to ₹23,464 crore, in line with the Bloomberg estimates of ₹23,409 crore, driven by digital engineering and application services.
The company’s dollar revenue for the June quarter grew 15.6% annually in constant currency to $3.02 billion, boosted by new deal wins and acceleration in clients’ digital agenda.
“Our services business continues to have robust growth momentum driven by our digital engineering and digital application services with cloud adoption being a horizontal theme across all services and verticals," said C. Vijayakumar, chief executive officer and managing director, HCL Technologies.
“Our new bookings grew 23.4% year-on-year supported by a good mix of large and mid-sized deals, and our pipeline remains near record high. Our operating margin came in at 17%. We have put in place the right measures that will improve our profitability going forward," he added.
Indian IT services companies, which have seen robust demand for cloud and digital services during the last two years of the pandemic, may see a slowdown if clients cut IT budgets due to fears of a recession in key markets such as the US and Europe. Analysts said the peak of revenue growth may be behind for Indian IT firms, and growth may start softening by the second half of this fiscal year.
Attrition rate during the quarter rose to 23.8% from 11.8% in the previous year and 21.9% in the preceding three months, indicating that demand for tech talent continues to outpace supply. Though there are early signs of attrition levels declining, it is not going to come down immediately, Apparao V.V., chief human resources officer, said during the earnings call.
The company made a net addition of 2,089 employees during the first quarter, taking the headcount to 210,966 as of 30 June.
“Results indicate that cloud is one of the prominent growth drivers for HCL for this quarter, and it will continue for the near term as Gartner forecasts worldwide public cloud services to grow 22.0% (constant currency) in 2022. The talent war continues for the service provider as it reported 23.8% attrition, their highest in the last couple of quarters," said Naveen Mishra, senior director analyst, Gartner.
HCL Technologies declared its earnings after market hours on Tuesday. Ahead of the results its shares closed at ₹928.05 on the BSE, down 1.63%. | https://www.livemint.com/companies/company-results/hcl-retains-revenue-guidance-net-up-24/amp-11657652888390.html | 2022-07-12T19:32:51Z | https://www.livemint.com/companies/company-results/hcl-retains-revenue-guidance-net-up-24/amp-11657652888390.html | true | 2 |
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Prosecutors in western Mexico say they have located 23 sets of skeletal remains in a lakeside community known for its highly acidic hot springs and mud pits.
The prosecutor’s office in Michoacan says only eight of the bodies have been identified, mainly by clothing or dental records.
The office said Sunday that the rest of the bodies are so badly deteriorated that DNA testing will likely be necessary.
It is unclear if the criminals intentionally dumped the bodies in the area known as Los Negritos — after the mud facial masks popular there — so they would disappear more quickly.
The area is near the town of La Barca, where authorities in 2013 found more than five dozen bodies in mass graves linked to the Jalisco cartel.

Some fencing and warnings along the South East Greenway warning the public not to access PICTURE: www.southeastgreenway.net
Security on the uncompleted South East greenway in the Ferrybank region has been ramped up significantly following recent vandalism and antisocial behaviour.
On Friday, July 1, a car managed to gain access to the greenway by driving down a laneway and through three fields filled with crops before bursting through a fence running along the greenway’s perimeter.
Piltown Municipal District councillors have strongly condemned the incident and District Chair Fidelis Doherty expressed her disappointment that some people ‘aren’t respecting the great work being done’.
Cllr Doherty also drew attention to other acts of recent ‘unsavoury activity’ on the greenway in the region including vandalism and graffiti.
'SAD TO SEE'
Cllr Ger Frisby commented that the recent antisocial behaviour ‘is sad to see’.
“The car tore down about five or six sections of barriers along the greenway as it drove over the freshly laid tarmac,” he added, noting that he had received several calls in relation to the incident.
Cllr Pat Dunphy stated that the rising incident rate of antisocial behaviour on the greenway ‘should be seriously looked into by gardaí’.
The offending vehicle has subsequently been moved off of the greenway and investigations are ongoing.
Piltown Municipal District Area Engineer Stan Cullen stated that the summer holiday period usually coincides with a rise of antisocial incidents.
He noted that local landowners have been engaged with since the incident regarding the accessibility of their lands as many don’t have gates.
He also confirmed that the contractor has acknowledged concerns and has increased security, particularly around Abbey Road and Belfield.
Cullen added that the contractor is actively looking into strengthening fencing along the greenway perimeter.
In the meantime, the Greenway Project Office continues to stress to the public that the greenway is a construction site at present and as such it is not safe to enter until it officially opens.
EXTENSION UPDATE
In other news, Kilkenny Leader Partnership and Trail Kilkenny are now working on a feasibility study and route selection report for a greenway link to Woodstock Estate, Inistioge.
Punch Consulting Engineers have been appointed to undertake this work.

Adds shares, confirmation of production rate
July 12 (Reuters) - Boeing Co BA.N delivered 51 airplanes in June to bring its first-half tally to 216 jets, up 38% from the same period last year, pushing its shares sharply higher on Tuesday.
June's deliveries exceeded the 50 threshold for the first time since March 2019 and included 43 Boeing 737 MAX, which is recovering from a nearly two-year safety crisis, according to new company data.
Boeing's shares rose more than 8% as it also confirmed that monthly MAX production had touched a target of 31 airplanes, while cautioning it had yet to be "stabilised" at that level as aerospace faces worldwide supply chain snags.
Jefferies analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu estimated that the average second-quarter MAX production rate was 28 per month.
June deliveries included six wide-body commercial freighters but, for the 12th consecutive month, no 787 Dreamliners.
Deliveries of the long-haul jet have been halted for a year as Boeing and regulators address production problems.
In new business, Boeing won 50 airplane orders in June, including 49 MAX, of which 48 were sold to customers whose names were not immediately disclosed. The one public purchaser was American Airlines AAL.O
Boeing took cancellations for 35 planes in June, mainly related to airline restructurings, including 29 jets originally earmarked for Norwegian Air NAS.OL.
It also benefited in June from dozens of jets being taken out of limbo and placed back on a list of orders expected to be fulfilled as Boeing reversed some accounting adjustments.
In total during the first half, Boeing booked 286 gross orders and took 100 cancellations, leaving a net total of 186 orders after cancellations and conversions.
Europe's Airbus AIR.PA on Friday posted 259 net orders after cancellations in the first half, up sharply from a year earlier. Deliveries were flat at 297 planes. .
After retrieving a six-month total of 19 jets from an accounting category designed to filter out orders unlikely to be fulfilled, Boeing ended the first half with an adjusted total of 205 net orders as it took a more optimistic view on some deals.
Boeing's undelivered backlog after these so-called ASC-606 accounting adjustments stood at 4,239 units at end-June.

A24’s “Bodies, Bodies, Bodies” puts the kill in satirical.
Maria Bakalova stars in the film as Bee, the unassuming new girlfriend of Sophie (Amandla Stenberg), who is nervous to meet Sophie’s wealthy pals at a remote mansion. “They’re not as nihilistic as they look on the Internet,” Sophia assures Bee as they enter a lavish pool party.
Things quickly go sideways, though, as the rich millennials hunker down during a hurricane and a party game of Bodies, Bodies, Bodies turns IRL deadly. Who said backstabbing doesn’t mean literally stabbing someone to death with a champagne-popping machete?
Pete Davidson, Rachel Sennott, Lee Pace, Myha’la Herrold, and Chase Sui Wonders round out the cast of victims-slash-possible murderers. Halina Reijn directs, working from a screenplay by Sarah DeLappe based on a story by “Cat Person” author Kristen Roupenian. David Hinojosa and Ali Herting serve as producers.
Director Reijn previously compared the film to her theater background, saying “Bodies, Bodies, Bodies” was crafted “almost as if it was a Chekhov play.” Reijn added, “I’m obsessed with power and sexuality in a pressure-cooker environment.”
But that secluded environment seems to force one of the partygoers to be the murderer.
“It would be so obvious if I was the killer,” David (Davidson) jokes. But it’s true: The murderer would be too clearly the rising star and “SNL” alum, who is also about to make his debut with girlfriend Kim Kardashian on Hulu’s “The Kardashians.” Meta, much?
Instead, the core tension from the second trailer comes from Bee’s down-to-earth persona with a glimmer of bubbling resentment for Sophie’s shallow and toxic pals. Bee is “an enigma without a past and seemingly without a future,” as critic Robert Daniels wrote in an IndieWire review for the film out of SXSW.
“Bakalova also adds fresh contours to a reedy character in her reserved carriage, in the ways her clumsiness — verbal and physical — draws suspicion,” Daniels wrote, before advising viewers to watch the mockingly millennial movie a “second, third, even fourth” time to fully revel in the nod to the sinister TikTok-infused social satire.
Daniels added, “It’s the uproarious image of rich kids without wifi, descending into frothing at the mouth, bloody madness, that makes Reijin’s ‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’ an unmistakable Gen Z anthem for blood.”
“Bodies, Bodies, Bodies” hits theaters on August 5. Check out the latest trailer below.

German automobile manufacturer BMW is diving into the world of microtransactions for some of its vehicle features.
The latest in the bunch is a subscription for heated seats, as part of BMW’s “Connected Drive,” as spotted in its South Korean store, as spotted by Jalopnik.
BMW has been putting features behind a subscription paywall since 2020, with heated seats being the newest addition in countries like Germany, New Zealand, the U.K., South Africa and now South Korea.
In the country, the new heated seat feature would set users back, ₩24,000 (roughly $24 CAD) per month, $368 CAD for a three-year subscription, or $528 CAD for a lifetime subscription. Subscribing to the feature doesn’t mean that a BMW employee will come to your house and replace the seats. The features offered are all built into the company’s car. However, they are locked behind a paywall, and are only accessible once you subscribe to it.
A greedy move to say the least. Other features, like being able to record footage from your vehicle’s camera can be justifiably locked behind a subscription plan, whereas a basic necessity in cold regions, such as heated seats that are already built into the vehicle, shouldn’t be hidden behind a microtransaction.
Customers can also opt for a heated steering wheel, though that too comes at an additional cost of roughly $13 CAD per month, $209 CAD for three years and $288 CAD for a lifetime subscription.
We aren’t certain whether BMW plans to bring a similar subscription model to Canada or the United States

Assailants hurl bombs at RSS office in Kerala
Two unidentified bike-borne assailants hurled bombs at the office of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at Payyanur in north Kerala’s Kannur district in the wee hours of Tuesday, police said.
No casualties were reported. As per the visuals from the CCTV (closed-circuit television) the miscreants who came on two motorcycles had been conducting a recce of the area before hurling the bombs at the office.
During the attack, window panes and gate of the office suffered damage. RSS- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders suspected the role of Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPI(M) behind the attack and sought a high-level inquiry. Later, the RSS-BJP workers also took out a protest in the town.
“We suspect the role of CPI(M) in the attack. They are neck-deep in trouble after the disclosures of the gold smuggling accused (Swapna Suresh), the ruling party is resorting to tricks to divert attention,” said BJP Kannur district president N Harisdasan. He added that the party is trying to vitiate peace in the trouble-torn district. The CPI (M), however, denied any role in the attack.
“Let police investigate. We have no role in the attack,” said CPI(M) Kannur district secretary M V Jayarajan.
This is not first such incident in the state as last week, two migrant workers from Assam, a man and his son, were killed due to a bomb explosion in the district. Both, Fazal Khan (52) and his son Shahidul (22), were working as waste collectors in Mattanur area. The bomb went off in their rented house when they were segregating the waste collected from the area. Their rented house suffered serious damage due to the impact of the explosion.
A senior police officer later said that the blast was triggered when they were trying to open a steel tiffin box stuffed with the explosives.
On June 30, a bomb was hurled at the ruling CPI (M) office headquarters in the state capital AKG Centre. The attack unfolded as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi arrived in Kannur to visit his constituency Wayanad. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/assailants-hurl-bombs-at-rss-office-in-kerala-101657651617102-amp.html | 2022-07-12T19:46:40Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/assailants-hurl-bombs-at-rss-office-in-kerala-101657651617102-amp.html | false | 2 |
Law & Order: Anthony Anderson Reveals Why He Left Revival After One Season
Paul Dailly at .When Law & Order returned earlier this year after several years off the air, fans were happy to have some familiar faces back for the revival.
When Law & Order Season 22 returns in the fall, Anthony Anderson will not be back.
That much we've known for a while, and now, the beloved actor is opening up about his decision.
"I wanted to go off and create more shows like Black-ish, create things that I have ownership in, and do something a little bit different," he explained to Entertainment Tonight.
"We're going out and pitching another drama called Miraculous, which I'm excited about, so looking forward to what that's going to do," he added.
The actor, who played Kevin Bernard on the legal drama, only signed a one-year deal.
It's certainly unfortunate to say goodbye to Kevin so soon, but there were reports that the actor wanted to help get the new take on the series off the ground.
The franchise has a revolving door, with many cast members returning after years away, so it's possible we could see Anderson again down the line.
It was revealed last month that Sam Waterston had closed a deal to continue as DA Jack McCoy, reprising his role from the original series.
“Since day one, Sam has had perfect pitch when it comes to Jack McCoy as a character who both reflects and expands our ability to understand the law,” Dick Wolf said when Waterston initially signed on.
“He is the ultimate conscience of the show and I look forward to him emulating the career of New York District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, who served until he was 90.”
Camryn Manheim, Hugh Dancy, and Odelya Halevi -- all new stars for the revival -- are expected to return for the next season.
Supergirl's Mehcad Brooks is also joining the cast for Season 22.
What are your thoughts on the casting changes?
Law & Order Season 22 premieres Thursday, September 22 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

OBC quota in local body polls: Supreme Court seeks Maharashtra seats yet to be notified
The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Maharashtra state election commission to provide information within a week regarding the local bodies where election is yet to be notified to enable hearing of an application moved by the state government for rollout of 27% reservation for other backward classes (OBC) in Panchayats, Zilla Parishads and corporations.
The state in its application filed on July 9 brought on record a voluminous report prepared by a dedicated commissiontasked to undertake study on reservation for Backward Classes in Maharashtra’s local bodies Commission which recommended reservation for OBCs in local bodies in its elaborate report submitted on July 7 and estimated OBC population to be 37% in the entire state.
Before examining the report, the bench wished to know if elections to local bodies have already been notified and only if the same were not notified, it was willing to consider the state’s application. A bench of justices AM Khanwilkar and JB Pardiwala said, “We defer the hearing till July 19. It will be open for the state election commission to indicate the outcome of this application in respect of election to local bodies where electioordn to these bodies has not been notified.”
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Court that in many local bodies in the state, though the issuance of notification had begun, the polls were scheduled in August giving ample time for the state election body to tweak its schedule and reserve OBC seats ahead of the election date.
This was not acceptable to the judges. The bench said, “We will not interdict the election process which has begun. Issuance of notification is commencement of elections. It cannot be retrieved. There is a constitutional bar to interdict the election process where it has started or else there will be a string of litigations in this Court.”
By an order passed in May this year, the top court had directed the election panel to notify polls to all vacant local bodies in the state within two weeks.
The state’s decision to grant 27% reservation to OBCs was stayed by the Court on December 6 last year after it noticed that the elections to the reserved OBC seats were not according to a triple test formula prescribed by an earlier apex court decision in March 2021. The order came on a petition filed by a former legislator Kisanrao Kundalikrao Gawali and a social worker Rahul Ramesh Wagh who questioned the state’s move to have OBC quota in local bodies by amending provisions in two legislations - Maharashtra village panchayat act and the Maharashtra zilla parishad and panchayat samitis act, 1961.
Since the state had failed to fulfill the triple test on that date as the triple test required constituting a commission, gathering empirical data on backwardness and ensuring total reservation local-body wise does not exceed 50%, the state election commission was asked to renotify OBC seats as general category seats in December last year.
The Court made it clear that while it is left open to the state poll panel to defer or modify the election schedule based on the prevailing ground situation, even the election panel had to be questioned over the delay in conducting polls. “Modifying election dates is left to the election commission. But they have already delayed it from May till July when our order was very clear.”
Appearing for the state, solicitor general Tushar Mehta stated that this report complies with the triple test criteria laid down by the Supreme Court as a precondition for implementing OBC reservation in local bodies. This test laid down by the Supreme Court in a 2010 Constitution Bench decision and later reiterated in March last year required the state to appoint a commission, collect quantifiable data on OBC, and allocate seats local-body wise in a manner that the total reservation provided in each seat does not exceed 50%.
Referring to the OBC panel’s report, the state said, “The report is a comprehensive report reckoning all the factors as required to be adhered to for complying with the triple test predicated by this Court in Vikas Kisanrao Gawali case. The Report has also focused on the proportion of local body wise reservation, to be provisioned for backward class communities while keeping in mind the maximum reservation limit of 50% as enunciated in Vikas Kisanrao Gawali.”
The state demanded that, considering the OBC panel report, the Court should permit the reservation pattern in respect of all local bodies across the State, be notified as delineated in the report of the dedicated Commission submitted on July 7.
The application was filed by Rajesh Kumar, Additional Chief Secretary, Rural Development, government of Maharashtra. While considering this application next Tuesday, the top court will also examine whether Commission’s report has passed the triple test criteria. Earlier this year, the top court allowed Madhya Pradesh to have OBC reservation in local bodies after a similar exercise was undertaken and an expert report tabled before the state government on the total district-wise population of OBCs for the purposes of reservation in local bodies. The assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh are due before November 2023. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/obc-quota-in-local-body-polls-supreme-court-seeks-maharashtra-seats-yet-to-be-notified-101657649746744-amp.html | 2022-07-12T19:49:55Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/obc-quota-in-local-body-polls-supreme-court-seeks-maharashtra-seats-yet-to-be-notified-101657649746744-amp.html | true | 2 |
By Joshua Goodman | Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Three Americans were quietly jailed in Venezuela earlier this year for allegedly trying to enter the country illegally and now face long prison sentences in the politically turbulent nation, The Associated Press has learned.
None of the arrests have previously been reported. Two of the men — a lawyer from California and a computer programmer from Texas — were arrested in late March, just days after President Nicolás Maduro’s socialist government freed two other Americans.
Venezuelan security forces nabbed lawyer Eyvin Hernandez, 44, and computer programmer Jerrel Kenemore, 52, in separate incidents in the western state of Tachira, according to a person familiar with investigations into the arrests. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the cases publicly.
Hernandez is from Los Angeles; Kenemore is from the Dallas area, but had lived in Colombia since 2019.
A third American was arrested in January, also for allegedly entering the country illegally along its lengthy border with Colombia. AP is withholding his name at the request of his family.
At least eight more Americans — including five oil executives and three veterans — remain imprisoned in Venezuela, and U.S. officials insist they are being used as political bargaining chips.
The latest arrests come amid efforts by the Biden administration to unwind the Trump-era policy of punishing Maduro for what they consider his trampling on Venezuela’s democracy. Instead, Biden officials are trying to lure him back into negotiations with the U.S.-backed opposition to pave the way for free and fair elections.
As part of that still-early outreach, the U.S. has dangled the possibility of easing sanctions on the OPEC nation — a move that, over time, could also help lower oil prices, which spiked following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The release of two Americans on March 8 was celebrated in Washington, giving a boost to the Biden administration’s outreach to Maduro. It’s not clear what impact, if any, the jailing of three more Americans will have on relations with Maduro, a close ally of Russia whom the U.S. has sanctioned and indicted on narcotics charges.
The State Department confirmed the three arrests and a spokesperon said officials are advocating for the immediate release of all wrongfully detained Americans in Venezuela.
Beyond any political fallout, the arrests point to what U.S. officials consider an alarming trend: the arrest of unsuspecting Americans along the Colombia-Venezuela border, a lawless area dominated by criminal gangs and leftist rebels. Americans trying to enter Venezuela without a visa are especially vulnerable.
Despite Maduro’s often fiery rhetoric against the U.S. “empire,” there’s no indication he is targeting Americans for arrest.
But with the South American country torn apart after years of political unrest, hyperinflation and devastating food shortages, Maduro’s grip on his poorly paid security forces is constrained. That’s created an opening for criminal elements and hardliners looking to spoil Maduro’s talks with the U.S.
“There’s a lot of different centers of power in Venezuela and not all of them are aligned with Maduro or share his goal of seeing talks with the U.S. advance,” said Phil Gunson, a Caracas-based analyst for the International Crisis Group.
In one arrest report seen by the AP, Venezuelan military counterintelligence agents substantiated their actions by citing the U.S.’s “constant threats, economic blockade, and breaking of diplomatic relations.”
Some top Venezuelan officials also justify the arrest of Americans. In a June 13 press conference announcing the arrest of another, unnamed American, Socialist party leader Diosdado Cabello said: “They have their plans against our country.”
Hernandez, who was arrested March 31, was supposed to appear in court on Monday but the hearing was postponed.
Hernandez migrated to Los Angeles as a toddler with his parents, who were fleeing civil war in El Salvador. After graduating from the University of California Los Angeles law school, he turned down lucrative jobs to instead work as a public defender representing indigent and sometimes homeless defendants, a sign of his charitable spirt, friends and relatives said.
Like Maduro, Hernandez loves salsa music and has a history of labor activism. An avid traveler, Hernandez was taking a short break from work when he traveled to Colombia, where he’s been several times before, his brother said. Right before he was due home, he accompanied a Venezuelan friend to the border. His family said it was never his intention to go to Venezuela, nor would he knowingly break the law.
Hernandez’s friend is also being held and faces the additional charge of migrant smuggling, according to the person familiar with investigation.
“My entire family deeply misses my brother,” Henry Martinez, who also lives in Los Angeles, said in a statement. “He has worked his entire career serving marginalized people and he is truly the best of us. We hope and pray that Eyvin can return home very soon from this mistaken arrest.”
Two weeks before Hernandez’s arrest, Kenemore was taken into custody in similarly murky circumstances.
According to Kenemore’s family, he had been living in Colombia for over a year with a Venezuelan woman he met online when both were getting over divorces. The two shared a small apartment where Kenemore was working remotely for a client in the U.S., but had decided to relocate to Venezuela, where his girlfriend had a home.
Kenemore’s family said he was detained by migration officials upon entering Venezuela, according to a GoFundMe page they set up to pay for his defense. They posted on the crowdfunding platform what they said was the last photo of him before his arrest, near a Colombian border checkpoint on the Simon Bolivar international bridge.
Prosecutors allege that Kenemore, his girlfriend and three others entered the country on a nearby dirt trail, one of hundreds of irregular crossings used daily by Venezuelans shuttling between the countries for groceries, medical appointments and to visit family. They said he was carrying three laptops and was accompanied by a captain in the Venezuelan navy, something that also raised suspicions.
Like Hernandez, Kenemore was charged with criminal association and conspiracy — crimes punishable with up to 16 years in jail. His girlfriend is also being held.
“Jerrel is a good American, Christian man,” Jeana Kenemore Tillery, his sister, said in a phone interview. “All he wanted to do was be with the woman he loved. His sisters, children and grandson miss him very much and we just want him home.”
In April, the State Department warned about threats to Americans along the Colombia-Venezuela border. It recommended Americans avoid all travel to Venezuela, and never enter without a visa, which is nearly impossible to obtain since the U.S. broke diplomatic relations with Maduro in 2019.
According to Venezuelan law, foreigners found in the country without a visa are to be immediately deported.
But for reasons that are unclear, all three men arrested earlier this year were transferred hundreds of miles away to the capital, Caracas, to a maximum security prison housing many of Maduro’s opponents.
Americans jailed in Venezuela are at a disadvantage when it comes to seeking help from their government. The U.S. closed its hilltop Embassy in Caracas in 2019, after recognizing opposition lawmaker Juan Guaidó as the nation’s legitimate leader.
The United Nations has long complained about the lack of independence for Venezuelan judges as well as the facility where the Americans are being held.
“It’s not a legal system one wants to get trapped in,” said Gunson of the International Crisis Group. | https://www.pe.com/2022/07/12/venezuela-jails-3-americans-amid-us-outreach/ | 2022-07-12T19:52:15Z | https://www.pe.com/2022/07/12/venezuela-jails-3-americans-amid-us-outreach/ | true | 48 |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Royals infielder Whit Merrifield’s streak of playing in a franchise-record 553 straight games ended Monday when he missed the opener of a doubleheader against Detroit because of a toe injury.
Merrifield’s string dated to June 24, 2018, and was the longest active streak in the majors.
“It’s been a great run for Whit,” Kansas City manager Mike Matheny said. “It’s just been impressive the way he’s been able to go about it.”
Merrifield exited Sunday’s game with right toe discomfort. He was fitted with a walking boot and is expected to be placed on the injured list due to a bone bruise and ligament swelling.
“I’ve been lucky … in some instances, but I’ve put myself in a good position to play every day mentality-wise. I showed up to play no matter the circumstance. It’s been a long run and I’m proud of it,” he said.
The 33-year-old Merrifield is hitting .240 with 36 RBIs this season. The two-time All-Star led the AL with 42 doubles and 40 stolen bases last year.
Cal Ripken Jr. holds the all-time record of playing 2,632 straight games.

Milder manifestations mean milder symptoms, reducing the urgency to test. So, often, Covid infections are going undetected. Testing regularly can avoid this. This is, however, expensive. Popularising the relatively inexpensive home tests is an option. Those travelling and frequently meeting people must take regular home tests as a matter of personal safety and public health.
For many, this too is expensive. Free, or at a nominal fee, reliable testing (RT-PCR and rapid antigen tests) services at public health institutions would help low-income workforces such as delivery persons, couriers, shop workers, etc. Offices and factories must have regular testing. Doctors have found that contracting Covid leads to about a 3-month immunity. That is why the suggestion from regulators to delay vaccination for those recovering. The vaccine and Covid-induced immunity mean a longer 'safe' period. Given high infectiousness and mild symptoms, together with population density, increased testing allows timing the vaccine for maximum immunity.
India's poor air quality adds to vulnerability to cardiopulmonary afflictions. A robust immunity to Covid is essential. With increased testing, vaccines can be leveraged for maximising immunity. More testing, timely vaccination, including a second booster for vulnerable populations, will have to be the way ahead. | https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinion/et-editorial/vaccination-testing-vaccination-testing-/articleshow/92812426.cms | 2022-07-12T19:55:03Z | https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinion/et-editorial/vaccination-testing-vaccination-testing-/articleshow/92812426.cms | true | 1 |
President Biden will be in the Middle East this week, where he'll meet with 11 regional leaders. It's the first trip of his presidency to the region — prompted in part by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the rising oil prices it's caused.
No major strategic deals appear to be in the works but the White House says the president hopes to build on connections between the countries and support what it says is a more stable region than it was a couple of years ago.
The Middle East is relatively calm — but just barely. The seven-year war in Yemen — with hundreds of thousands dead from violence and deprivation — has seen three months of cease-fire between Iran-backed and Saudi-led forces. Although there's frequent violence between Israelis and Palestinians, it's nothing like last year's Gaza war. Iran-backed attacks in Iraq — and U.S. retaliation — have stayed at low levels.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Monday that the region is more stable now than when Biden took office. He said the U.S. seeks "a region with more stability and with fewer wars that could draw the United States in."
And the oil is flowing from the Gulf to the world — unlike the energy supplies from Russia and Ukraine. The administration has been urging the Gulf countries to keep oil supplies high as gas prices are up in the U.S. and the midterm elections approach. Though they say the trip isn't about oil, White House officials note that "energy security" is one of the topics.
The president is expected to announce steps to counter Iran by expanding ties between Israel and Arab countries. He'll try to strengthen Saudi backing for the Yemen cease-fire.
And in general, Biden is expected to seek to get all the leaders he meets to help keep up the pressure on Russia to end its invasion of Ukraine.
The meetings start in Israel on Wednesday. Then Biden will go to the Israeli-occupied West Bank to meet the Palestinian leadership. From there, he'll attend a regional Arab summit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he'll meet the Saudi leader along with leaders from Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt.
Perhaps the main drama will come Friday or Saturday, when Biden is expected to meet face-to-face with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — along with his ailing father, King Salman, who is 86.
Meeting the Saudi leaders means the administration is turning a page
When he ran for president, Biden called Saudi Arabia "a pariah" for its human rights record and its escalation of the war in Yemen — while former President Donald Trump was defending the monarchy. Biden's administration made public the U.S. finding that Mohammed bin Salman was involved in the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents in 2018.
But with gas prices high in the U.S. and several regional security issues at stake, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have things in common they both want to talk about. This meeting will take that to its highest level — breaking the ice, as one analyst says.
The U.S. has been urging Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to increase oil production. It's praising the monarchy for agreeing to the Yemen cease-fire and wants to keep that going — one of Biden's top foreign policy promises was to end the war there.
The meeting itself is a win for Mohammed bin Salman, who's trying to repair his image and draw Western investment in the kingdom so it can be less dependent on oil sales. He'll also likely ask the U.S. to resume some weapons sales that Biden has suspended because of the Yemen war.
And while the Saudis probably aren't ready to open full relations with Israel, as Biden might wish — following the UAE, Morocco and Bahrain under the Trump administration's Abraham Accords — they might be willing to agree to some deals about flyover rights for Israel and more cooperation on security issues.
The U.S. is eager to make sure that Saudi Arabia does not intensify its ongoing ties with China and Russia. China looks to expand its influence in the Middle East and buys a lot of oil. Russia — which depends on oil exports that are now impeded by sanctions for the Ukraine war — could look to Saudi Arabia to keep oil supplies tight so Western countries will feel the pain.
But there's a tradeoff to closer ties with the kingdom. Biden will be helping rehabilitate the reputation of a country that's crushed dissent at home and killed civilians in Yemen. Human rights advocates want Biden to talk about those issues publicly, putting pressure on the kingdom. Biden doesn't promise to do that, but he's aware of the controversy and said last weekend that he will keep human rights on the agenda.
Palestinians hope to be a U.S. priority and fear that Arab leaders will leave them behind
Biden plans to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank on Wednesday or Thursday. The White House says this will be to deepen channels with the Palestinians that were almost entirely severed under the Trump administration, which took some major steps favoring Israel.
To help the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority, President Biden is expected to announce U.S. funding for Palestinian hospitals that had been cut by Trump. Biden is expected to reiterate U.S. support for a two-state solution for peace with Israel and an independent Palestinian state side-by-side — something Trump had left in question.
Abbas is concerned about the Arab summit in Jeddah, and wants his counterparts not to go too far in building relations with Israel until Israel ends its occupation of the Palestinian territories. Palestinian leaders see that as one of their best sources of pressure on Israel.
The White House says it's continually seeking ways to build a foundation for new peace talks — even if the sides are too far apart now to hold them.
One issue that Biden might not address is the killing in May of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, while she was covering an Israeli military operation. The U.S. has said the bullet that killed her likely came from Israeli troops and her family has asked to meet with Biden, but tells NPR they've not heard an answer. Israel says it's still investigating whether the bullet came from its troops or militants.
Israel is in transition but wants reassurances on Iran and new ties in the region
President Biden first went to Israel nearly 50 years ago and counts himself as a strong supporter of the Jewish state. Most Israelis express confidence in Biden, but they gave higher ratings in 2019 to Trump. Trump made showy moves to favor Israel, like endorsing its claim to Jerusalem by moving the U.S. Embassy there.
Israel is in a prolonged spell of political upheaval. In November, it will hold its fifth election in just over three years. Biden will meet with caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid, a relative moderate in a country where right-wingers are prevalent.
Lapid will likely seek to make sure Israel is kept up to date and has input on any possible revival of the Iran nuclear deal. That deal would allow Iran to do business with the world again if it reinstates restrictions on its nuclear program.
Iran's leaders deny Israel's existence and periodically threaten to attack Israel. Israel — which analysts widely believe possesses undisclosed nuclear weapons — says it will not allow Iran to produce a nuclear weapon. It has been blamed by Iran for assassinating scientists and sabotaging facilities in Iran.
Biden seeks to help Israel's "integration" in the region — meaning closer ties with Arab countries. And as he meets Israeli leaders and visits the country's Holocaust memorial, Biden will be reminding Israelis and Americans of his commitment to the country's security.

The Blue Jays activated Jansen (finger) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. He'll start at catcher and bat ninth in the Blue Jays' series opener with the Phillies.
Jansen last played June 6, when he fractured his hamate bone and landed on the IL. As a result of his extended absence, Jansen may take more of a back seat at catcher to Alejandro Kirk, but there should still be plenty of at-bats for Jansen, who's the superior defender of the two backstops. Prior to being deactivated, Jansen had shown some solid pop with a .232/.290/.625 slash line over 62 plate appearances. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/blue-jays-danny-jansen-back-from-il/ | 2022-07-12T19:58:33Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/blue-jays-danny-jansen-back-from-il/ | false | null |
PM Expresses Grief Over Losses Caused By Rains In Balochistan
Sumaira FH Published July 13, 2022 | 12:01 AM

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Keen to immerse himself in the history of the Old Course at St. Andrews, Jon Rahm attempted to pick the brains of the great Lee Trevino at the home of golf this week.
Rahm was fascinated to learn, for example, that the storied course was meant to play clockwise rather than the other way round.
“A little bit of interesting history,” Rahm said on Tuesday, before adding with a smile: “I don’t know if it’s true.”
Indeed, Rahm would love to use some of his down time at the British Open to visit a couple of the bookstores in St. Andrews in a search for more golf history. He said there are too many people around town to do that, though, so is relying on some of his own memories to fire him up ahead of a bid for a second major title.
And it’s no surprise that one stands out.
“I don’t want to go with the obvious,” he said, “but 1984 was very special for Spanish people. I’m going to go with that — that image of Seve celebrating. It’s an iconic image not only for us but for the world of golf.”
That image, of the much-loved Seve Ballesteros twice thrusting his arm into the air before walking off the 18th green with his arm around his caddie, marked the second of his three wins at golf’s oldest major championship.
No Spaniard has won it since. Rahm has long dreamed of emulating his compatriot and idol.
“This is truly the pinnacle of golf,” he said. “I don’t think it gets any better than winning at St. Andrews.
“No offense to any other tournament in the world. It’s the oldest championship on the oldest course and where it all started.”
Rahm’s first — and so far only — competitive rounds at the Old Course were during the Dunhill Links Championship on the European tour in 2019. He learned about the vagaries of the wind off St. Andrews Bay, the risk-and-reward element of the course, and — of course — to not hit it right.
Since then, he has become the world’s top-ranked player and validated that status by winning his first major title at the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in 2021.
A second major looked like being in reach in his title defense at Brookline last month, when he went into the final round a shot off the lead even though he was “searching for his swing.”
A closing 74 dropped him into a tie for 12th, and he arrives at St. Andrews at No. 3 in the world ranking and on the back of a tie for 55th place at the Scottish Open last week over the links at The Renaissance Club.
Finishing third at Royal St. George’s last year was his best performance in five British Opens and, for Rahm, there would be nowhere better to lift the claret jug than at St. Andrews on the 150th staging of the event.
Jack Nicklaus, who won at St. Andrews in 1970 and 1978, once said: “If you’re going to be a player people will remember, you have to win the Open at St. Andrews.”
Rahm can see where Nicklaus is coming from.
“It can almost put your career to another level,” he said, “just because how great of a venue this one is.”

Wednesday: Christina Ricci on "Wonderful" Tim Burton Reunion & More
With a reunion with Tim Burton in his upcoming Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams) & Luis Guzmán (Gomez Addams)-starring Wednesday on the way as well as the second season of Showtime's hit series Yellowjackets, Christina Ricci is having a pretty run of things on the small screen. And that run got a little sweeter on Tuesday with word that the actress had been nominated for an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Speaking with Deadline Hollywood shortly after the news of her nomination broke, Ricci has some thoughts to share about her "wonderful" experience being a part of "The Addams Family" spinoff series.
"I was beyond flattered, particularly because it is Tim Burton, and I respect and admire Tim so much. So, to have him ask me to come back and play this part in that world was really gratifying on a sentimental level," Ricci revealed. And as for Ortega, Ricci continues to have nothing but praise for the series star, adding, "She's so incredibly talented and professional, and really seems to love film and TV making, and is involved in every step along the way of the show. And her Wednesday is a really, really great, smart, modern take on that character." Severance star Patricia Arquette, Ozark star Julia Garner, Squid Game star Jung Ho-yeon, Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn, Succession stars J. Smith-Cameron & Sarah Snook, and Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney are also nominated in the Emmy category "Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series." With the series premiering later this year, here's a look back at Ortega's Wednesday (along with a family friend) from the official teaser that was released earlier this week:
Gwendoline Christie (The Sandman, Game of Thrones), Christina Ricci (Yellowjackets), Riki Lindhome (Knives Out, Another Period), Jamie McShane (Mank, Bloodline), Hunter Doohan (Your Honor, Truth Be Told), Georgie Farmer (Treadstone, The Evermoor Chronicles), Moosa Mostafa (Nativity Rocks!, The Last Bus), Emma Myers (Girl in the Basement, Taste of Christmas), Naomi J. Ogawa (Skylines), Joy Sunday (Dear White People, The Beta Test), and Percy Hynes White (The Gifted, Pretty Hard Cases) are also starring. In addition, Issac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams), Victor Dorobantu (Thing), and George Burcea (Lurch) are on board to round out the cast.
Created by Al Gough and Miles Millar, the series finds Wednesday attempting to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore. Andrew Mittman for 1.21 (The Addams Family, Alphas), Kevin Miserocchi (Tee and Charles Addams Foundation), Kayla Alpert (Code Black, Up All Night), Jonathan Glickman for Glickmania (RESPECT, Addams Family 2) & Gail Berman (The Addams Family, Alphas) are also part of the production team. Award-winning composer, singer & songwriter Danny Elfman (Batman, Edward Scissorhands) will compose the score and pen the series' theme. | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/wednesday-christina-ricci-on-wonderful-tim-burton-reunion-more/ | 2022-07-12T20:07:44Z | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/wednesday-christina-ricci-on-wonderful-tim-burton-reunion-more/ | false | 2 |

New fizzy cola flavoured Tayto crisps causing mixed reactions around the country
A new fizzy cola flavour of Tayto crisps has been released this week and is causing mixed reactions on social media.
The Irish crisp company has added a new limited-edition flavour to their range, mixing the taste of sweet fizzy cola bottles into their crisp collection.
This is not the first time that the Tayto brand has tried something a little more unique with their crisps after releasing their Tayto chocolate bar in 2013.
The mix of milk chocolate and cheese and onion crisps were a hit when they launched, selling out shortly after they were first released.
The new fizzy cola flavoured crisps are not receiving the same reaction as many took to Twitter to express their feelings about this original mix of flavours.
One user posted a picture of the crisps writing: “the worst thing to happen potatoes in Ireland since the Famine.”
The tweet has received over 5,000 likes and over 700 retweets, with many users taking to the comments to share their thoughts.
“Wow. Can’t believe that it made it past the focus group to be honest,” one user tweeted in response to the picture.
Not everyone was opposed to this new flavour combo with some users saying that they would be intrigued to give them a try.
“I’d give them a try. I sometimes eat ice cream using crisps as a spoon,” one user tweeted.
Another person inquired, “Where do you get them from?”
Many had an open mind about the crisps, with another tweeting: “I’m not prepared to condemn them without trying, but I don’t see how it could work.
People are taking to TikTok to try the new flavour on camera, with the videos showing some mixed reactions from loving them to hating them.
The original twitter user who started the fizzy cola crisp conversation bought his packet of the newly launched crisps in Cost Cutter in Bandon, but according to videos on TikTok the crisps are being sold in several shops throughout Ireland.

After nearly a decade with Maps Counseling Services — including the past nearly two yearsas its executive director — Bethann Clauss is resigning this summer from her role.
Clauss, 45,said she has taken a new position as theadolescent counselor at the Dublin School, slated to start in August. Her final day at Maps will be July 29.
"I was not looking for something new, but something new, found me ...," she said in her resignation letter to staff in April. "It is a strange experience to feel so much excitement and hope about one experience while feeling so much sadness and grief about the other side of the same coin."
Maps, which has locations in Keene and Peterborough, serves about 1,000 individuals and families each year, and offers a range of mental health services, including child and adolescent counseling, substance misuse treatment and emergency mental health services, according to its website.
Four members of Maps' board of directors and five employees are actively searching for Clauss' replacement, she said. The private, nonprofit mental health agency is accepting applications at mapsnh.org/employment-opportunities.
Until a new leader isappointed, Maps Associate Executive Director Jill Burns will serve as the interim, according to Clauss.
Before arriving at Maps in 2013, Clauss was in the social work field for 12 years in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.
The Chesterfield resident holds a master’s degree in social work from Boston University and a bachelor’s in Biblical studies from the University of Valley Forge in Phoenixville, Pa.
Brad Bates, head of Dublin School — a private high school that enrolls about 165 boarding and day students — said in an email that Clauss' experience at Maps will be a "valuable addition to our faculty, staff, and families."
"Bethann brings a wealth of clinical and school-based counseling experience," he said, "and shares our vision of creating a safe and supportive community where young people can grow and thrive."

WATCH: Boeing 757 dubbed ‘Trump Force One’ gets new look
LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC/Gray News) - The big jet dubbed “Trump Force One” gets a new look, after Landlock Aviation Service repainted the plane in Louisiana.
A Boeing 757 belonging to former President Donald Trump has been out of commission since he took office in 2016, when it was used as he campaigned for that election. The refit of the VIP private jet has been under wraps, but now the work is done.
Tyson Grenzebach, with Landlock, said it was hard for everyone not to get excited about the project.
“We tried to keep very professional and stick to the task at hand but we all had a little something in the back of our minds driving us to the level of excellence the customer was needed,” he said.
Grenzebach told KPLC it took a crew of about 40 people a little over a month to complete the project, saying though the bar was set high, expectations were met.
“This was a little bit different and unique because of the timeline and customer requirements,” Grenzebach said. “So, we did what we call scuff sanding. That helped because we had a base to start with and then we primed, laid out for all the colors and painted all the unique colors you see on the aircraft.”
He said the paint job is flawless. Standout features on the craft include polished shiny aluminum edges, the big American flag on the vertical of the plane and the specialized gold-metallic Trump logo.
“As it turns out, it’s the nicest 757 Landlock aviation has ever painted, and one of the best aircrafts I’ve painted in my 28-year career,” Grenzebach said.
Grenzebach added he and the Landlock team is proud of the work they’ve done.
“We had to accomplish all that in a kind of short period of time and around all the supply chain challenged environment that we’re all experiencing,” he said. “So, between ourselves and some great vendors, we were able to move mountains if you will to get the job done.”
In a social media post, Trump said his remolded plane looks “great” and could be back in the skies by this fall.

One of two Saanich police officers still in hospital after being shot during an exchange of gunfire in a June 28 incident outside a Shelbourne Street bank has been moved out of the intensive care unit.
He and the other officer continue to recover from their wounds, the police department reports, after undergoing further surgeries. A third wounded Saanich member of the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team (GVERT) that responded to the bank robbery is at home recovering.
One of the three Victoria Police Department members of GVERT injured by gunfire that day has been released from hospital following surgery and is at home recuperating, as are the other two VicPD officers.
Saanich Police Chief Const. Dean Duthie said the whole department is recovering and healing along with the wounded members, a journey “heavily fueled by community and interagency care, support, trust and confidence,” he said in a joint department release. The officers in hospital continue to make day-to-day improvements, he added, and are inspiring their colleagues with their strength and determination.
Victoria police Chief Const. Del Manak echoed Duthie’s comments about the support from the community in the aftermath of the incident, calling it “overwhelming.” He thanked the medical professionals who cared for the officers, all of whom are in the thoughts of those in his department.
We shared an amazing Canada Day with the community & we were humbled to see the support for #GVERT & officers across the region. It made a difference today! Thank you! #yyj @canadadayvic @CityOfVictoria pic.twitter.com/RRWNqm5iId

RELATED STORY: Two Saanich officers still in hospital one week after fatal bank shootout
A number of officers and staff at both departments were involved in the incident and continue to participate in critical incident debrief sessions with peer and psychologist support.
Officers affected by the incident are also participating in workplace re-integration training, the release stated. The training aims to diminish the potential for long-term psychological injury by addressing unique stressors experienced by officers after a critical incident.
The process includes consultation with a psychologist, exposure to firearms, acclimation to gunfire and participant-led training. The program acknowledges that officers have been through a traumatic event and provides an opportunity to work through any triggers the event has created while ensuring the officer is in the safety of a controlled environment.
The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU) continues the investigation into this incident. If you have information about this incident not yet reported to police, please call the VIIMCU information line at 250-380-6211.

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has hit back at Sheikh Ahmad Gumi for claiming that pro-Biafra agitations had slowed in the South-East as a result of Peter Obi’s election as the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election.
The pro-Biafran group described Gumi’s claims as deceptive and false.
Gumi had on Monday in a Facebook post said IPOB agitations have muffled out with the emergence of Obi as the Labor Party presidential candidate.
The cleric stated that It had become clear that the IPOB outcry was a political gimmick to get power.
But MASSOB in a response to the statement said their goal is to actualize an independent state of Biafra through the principles of nonviolence.
The Biafra group in a statement on Tuesday signed by its leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, said MASSOB does not have anything against Mr Obi and his plans to save Nigeria from further deterioration
“Our agenda is known, our mission is stated, our position is unshakable and unwavering, and our goal is to actualize an independent state of Biafra through the principles of nonviolence,” the group said.
Continuing, the group said,
“We will never be intimidated or cowed by the chief patron and negotiator of the terrorist movement that is ravaging the entire northern region and the rest of Nigeria.
“MASSOB and other pro-Biafra organisations have nothing against Mr Peter Obi and his plans to save Nigeria from further deterioration.
“We believe in Biafra, he believes in Nigeria. Does it matter if Nigerians elect him as their new president based on his competence and pedigree? It is not our concern.
“Mr Peter Obi is not the first person to run for president since the MASSOB nonviolent self-determination struggle began in September 1999.Why are they tying him to us now?
“MASSOB advised Shiekh Gumi to explain his and other Fulani cabals’ roles in the terrorist attack and prison break in Abuja.” | https://thewhistler.ng/we-dont-believe-in-one-nigeria-massob/ | 2022-07-12T20:15:44Z | https://thewhistler.ng/we-dont-believe-in-one-nigeria-massob/ | false | 1 |
Geisinger's migration to Amazon Web Services will not only help the Danville, Pa.-based health system save time and money, but will give it the flexibility to provide "the ultimate service to our consumers," CIO John Kravitz told Becker's.
"This is really the trend moving forward," Mr. Kravitz said. "We have to have the agility to focus on our digital project offerings and the experiences with the customer that are so important. We can take some of this work off our plates, as far as hardware and data centers. I'd rather focus on the business need, not necessarily on the hardware, the traditional IT functionality."
The hospital system selected Amazon Web Services to be its cloud provider in May, marking one of the largest EHR migrations to the tech giant. Geisinger will be moving its Epic records to Amazon, the third health system to do so.
Through this process, Geisinger will eliminate a lot of applications that are no longer core to its mission, Mr. Kravitz said.
"We don't want to be a best-of-breed shop," he said. "We want to be an integrated shop that provides the ultimate service to our consumers. In this case, it's our providers or nurses. It's the patient. We want to make certain that we have the agility and the flexibility to be able to provide that in a very timely manner. And in our traditional on-premise solution that was a little challenging."
Geisinger, Amazon both benefit
Mr. Kravitz said Amazon Web Services already has a good reputation in cloud computing. He hopes the integration will help both parties.
"Geisinger has been known as an innovative organization the past decade, if not longer, especially when it comes to technology solutions with our clinical partners," he said. For Amazon, "the ability to demonstrate that they had a successful migration with one of the innovative healthcare organizations that people recognize in the country is important for them."
Mr. Kravitz said a lot of his contemporaries remain apprehensive about shifting to the cloud. But he said it was the right decision for Geisinger. The health system will need fewer infrastructure employees for hardware support and less hardware dedicated to the cloud. Mr. Kravitz said staff members will be retrained to support the new cloud environment.
The transition also will allow Geisinger to more effortlessly work with cloud-based vendors.
Geisinger plans to integrate the cloud into its application programming interface, or API, platform to quickly implement innovative digital healthcare apps.
About 25 percent to 30 percent of Geisinger's applications are in its private cloud, and Mr. Kravitz said the hospital system plans to eventually move about 90 percent of its apps to Amazon.
Geisinger will retain a small on-premise system for high-speed connectivity and redundancy, Mr. Kravitz said. Imaging-heavy modalities such as radiology, cardiology and dermatology, as well as diagnostic equipment middleware, don't mesh well with the cloud yet, he said.
Cybersecurity and innovation are key
Geisinger has also been working to ensure the new system is secure.
"We started that process when we started the evaluation well over a year ago, involving our information security partners, to help them identify all the appropriate software that should be needed and monitoring services and tools that we need to be able to make sure that we keep our environments safe," Mr. Kravitz said.
The health system plans to use the cloud to innovate through technologies like integrated voice response, artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology, to name a few. The latter is already employed in Geisinger's registration department and is being evaluated for medication dispensing and pre-surgery patient identification.
"We'll know for certain before a medication is given to a patient that it is definitively that patient and there's no opportunity for a mistake," Mr. Kravitz said. "There are opportunities to get better, provide safer, higher-quality care across the healthcare system, and we're all about that." | https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/innovation/geisinger-cio-says-move-to-amazon-cloud-will-let-health-system-offer-ultimate-service.html | 2022-07-12T20:19:24Z | https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/innovation/geisinger-cio-says-move-to-amazon-cloud-will-let-health-system-offer-ultimate-service.html | true | 1 |

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah judge on Monday granted a request from Planned Parenthood to delay implementing the state’s trigger law banning most abortions, as implications of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade reverberate nationwide.
With the decision, abortion remains legal up to 18 weeks in Utah, which is among a group of states where abortion rights have been thrown into limbo amid the legal and political challenges shaping the post-Roe landscape with states now holding the power to restrict abortion.
“What I’m really doing is saying we have serious things to talk about,” Judge Andrew Stone said after granting an injunction delaying the trigger law.
He said the status quo should remain in effect until a challenge from the state’s Planned Parenthood affiliate can be heard fully.
Meanwhile, a Minnesota judge declared most of that state’s restrictions on abortion unconstitutional. In Michigan, a campaign turned in a record-breaking number of signatures so voters can be asked on the November ballot whether to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
Federally, the Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services said Monday that hospitals “must” provide abortion services if the life of the mother is at risk, saying federal law on emergency treatment guidelines preempts state laws in jurisdictions that now ban the procedure without any exceptions. Currently, even states with the most stringent abortion bans allow exceptions when the health of a mother is at risk, though the threat of prosecution has created confusion for some doctors.
Last month’s Dobbs v. Jackson ruling overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that found the right to abortion was protected by the U.S. Constitution. The issue reverted to the states, setting off new court battles and ballot initiatives as many states act to curtail or ban abortions.
Utah is among more than a dozen states with trigger laws designed to limit abortion upon the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The decision on Monday comes two weeks after the court put a temporary hold on the law, which bans most abortions with exceptions for rape, incest or maternal health. Stone, who was appointed by a Republican governor, blocked its enforcement for 14 days after the state’s branch of Planned Parenthood sued. His decision effectively extends the temporarily hold placed on the law and allows Planned Parenthood clinics to continue providing abortions until the case is resolved.
Attorneys for Utah argued language in the state constitution allowed for abortions to be banned and said delaying the implementation of the trigger law would amount to overruling the will of Legislature and Utah voters. Julie Murray, Planned Parenthood’s attorney, said not delaying the implementation of the law could open its staff to criminal charges and hurt roughly 200 patients with scheduled appointments in the month ahead.
Stone granted a preliminary injunction, which would let Planned Parenthood clinics continue to provide abortion care — up to 18 weeks of pregnancy under another recently passed limit — until the court rules on the constitutional questions.
The judge in Minnesota declared most of the state’s restrictions on abortion unconstitutional, including a 24-hour waiting period and a requirement that both parents be notified before a minor can get an abortion. Ramsey County District Judge Thomas Gilligan also struck down requirements that only physicians can perform abortions and that abortions after the first trimester must be performed in hospitals. His order took effect immediately, meaning the limits can’t be enforced.
Gender Justice and other abortion rights groups argued the restrictions were unconstitutional under a 1995 Minnesota Supreme Court holding that the state constitution protects abortion rights. The judge called that case “significant and historic” and said it’s unaffected by the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
“These abortion laws violate the right to privacy because they infringe upon the fundamental right under the Minnesota Constitution to access abortion care and do not withstand strict scrutiny,” Gilligan wrote.
The ruling is expected to benefit patients from restrictive states who could go to Minnesota for reproductive health care. Providers have been preparing for a surge in patients from neighboring upper Midwest states, and even farther away.
Opponents of abortion rights condemned the decision. Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life said the laws challenged in the case are “common sense measures that support and empower pregnant women” and striking them down blocks residents from “enacting reasonable protections for unborn children and their mothers.” A Republican attorney general candidate called on the Democratic attorney general to appeal.
In a Louisiana state court Monday, legal efforts to stave off the permanent closure of the state’s three abortion clinics were renewed. A New Orleans judge refused last week to extend a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the state’s abortion ban, saying the case belonged in Baton Rouge.
Attorneys for a north Louisiana clinic and an abortion rights group are now seeking a new restraining order from a Baton Rouge judge. Attorney General Jeff Landry’s office says a temporary restraining order cannot be renewed once it has expired.
In Arizona, a federal judge on Monday blocked a 2021 “personhood” law that gives all legal rights to unborn children. Abortion providers argued the law can lead to criminal charges such as assault or child abuse and say it is unconstitutionally vague. Judge Douglas Rayes agreed in his ruling.
All abortions in Arizona stopped last month, but they could restart in at least one county following the ruling.
Alongside lawsuits to challenge bans, abortion rights supporters are trying to add ballot questions to enshrine abortion rights in state constitutions.
More than 750,000 signatures were turned in by the campaign in Michigan on Monday — close to double the number needed. The Democratic governor and attorney general in the battleground state have both made abortion rights a centerpiece of their reelection campaigns.
“The number of signatures showed that here in Michigan we trust women. We trust people. We trust doctors, not politicians, to make decisions about our body, our pregnancy and parenthood,” Reproductive Freedom for All spokesperson Shanay Watson-Whittaker said during a news conference in Lansing.
The signatures still must be verified and validated. A judge has temporarily blocked a 1931 Michigan law that would make abortion a felony except when “necessary to preserve the life of such woman.”
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has said that the law is invalid under the due process and equal protection clauses of the state constitution. The injunction, which stems from a Planned Parenthood lawsuit, could be revoked at any time.
Last week, backers of a last-minute effort to enshrine abortion rights in the Arizona Constitution failed to collect enough signatures to make the November ballot. In California, voters will decide in November whether to guarantee the right to an abortion in their constitution. Democrats who control the government in California fear the state’s abortion laws could be vulnerable to legal challenges.

‘Trump Force One’ gets a new look; painted in Lake Charles
Lake Charles, LA (KPLC) - The big jet dubbed ‘Trump Force One’ gets a new look, as Landlock Aviation repainted the plane in Lake Charles.
A Boeing 757 belonging to former President Donald Trump has been out of commission since he took office in 2016, when it was used as he campaigned that election. The refit of the VIP private jet has been under wraps, but now the work is done.
“I think it was hard for anybody to not get excited. We tried to keep very professional and stick to the task at hand but we all had a little something in the back of our minds driving us to the level of excellence the customer was needed,” Tyson Grenzebach with Landlock said.
Grenzebach told 7News it took a crew of about 40 people a little over a month to complete the project, saying though the bar was set high, expectations were met.
“This was a little bit different and unique because of the timeline and customer requirements,” Grenzebach said. “So, we did what we call scuff sanding. That helped because we had a base to start with and then we primed, laid out for all the colors and painted all the unique colors you see on the aircraft.”
He said the paint job is every bit flawless. Stand out features on the craft include polished shiny aluminum edges, the big American flag on vertical of the plane, and the specialized gold-metallic Trump logo.
“As it turns out, it’s the nicest 757 Landlock aviation has ever painted, and one of the best aircrafts I’ve painted in my 28 year career,” Grenzebach said.
Grenzebach added he and the Landlock team is proud of the work they’ve done.
“We had to accomplish all that in a kind of short period of time and around all the supply chain challenged environment that we’re all experiencing. So, between ourselves and some great vendors. We were able to move mountains if you will to get the job done,” Grenzebach said.
In a social media post, Trump said his remolded plane looks “great” and could be back in the skies by this fall.

Outspoken Liberal 'Yellowstone' Actress Arrested for $96,000 in Workers Comp Fraud
An actress from the hit show “Yellowstone” has been charged with workers compensation fraud.
Actress Q’Orianka Kilcher had been illegally collecting about $97,000 in disability benefits while also working on the TV show, the Association Press reported.
Kilcher is known for her four episode stint as Angela Blue Thunder in the show. She also played Pocahontas in the 2005 movie “The New World,” as well as acting in the 2019 “Dora and the Lost City of Gold.”
Kilcher is also known for being an environmental and human right activist.
She was even appointed as a youth ambassador for Amnesty International and for Amazon Watch, according to her Emmy’s biography.
In 2010, Kilcher was arrested outside the White House during a protest over the multinational extractive industry’s effect on communities. She had chained herself to a fence and had her mother pour a black substance over her as a visualization.
But now her fraud case and charges from the California Department of Insurance are bringing her into the headlines in a new way.
It was October of 2018, while working on “Dora” that Kilcher allegedly injured her neck and right shoulder, according to the AP.
“She saw a doctor a few times that year but stopped treatment and did not respond to the insurance company handling her claim on behalf of her employer,” the California Department of Insurance said in a statement, MSN reported.
But then a year later, in 2019, Kilcher contacted the insurance company and said she needed treatment.
She told the doctor who was handling her issues that she had been offered work, but the pain from her injury was too severe to allow her to work.
“Based on Kilcher’s statements to the doctor, she began receiving temporary total disability benefits,” the statement from the California Department of Insurance continued.
But despite her injury claims, she appeared in the third season of “Yellowstone,” which aired in August 2020, but was filmed between July and October of 2019 — the same time she had told the doctor she was too injured to work.

“When told about Kilcher’s recent employment history, the doctor on her claim stated if they had been aware of it they would have never granted her the disability payments,” the insurance department said.
“From October 14, 2019, through September 9, 2021, Kilcher’s received $96,838 in undeserved disability benefits.”
Neither she nor her attorney have commented on the situation.
Kilcher’s next court date is scheduled for Aug. 7.
