A meeting between teacher unions across the country and the government for an amicable settlement to put an end to the ongoing strike action by the teachers ended inconclusively today, Tuesday, 12 July 2022.
The teachers have been on strike since Monday, 4 July 2022, over government’s refusal to pay their Cost of Living Allowances (COLA) in the wake of increasing hardship in the country.
The teachers have been demanding COLA since the beginning of the year.
According to the teachers, the increase rate of inflation in the country has eroded their meagre salaries making life unbearable for them.
At the negotiation table today, the teacher unions accused the government side of betrayal of trust forcing them [teachers] to walk out of the meeting.
They said the government demanded they call off their strike before they could talk about negotitiations.
“By indicating and asking us to call off our strike before negotiations begin, what it means is that the government side is not ready to continue negotiations unless the teacher unions call off the strike. They have held all organised labour hostage, this is a betrayal of trust.
“Right now since we are undesirable, before they even walk us out of the meeting, we are walking out of the meeting ourselves,” NAGRAT President, Angel Carbonu told the media on Tuesday.
The Teacher Unions which have declared an indefinite strike include the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Coalition of Concerned Teachers Ghana (CCTG) and the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU). | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Strike-Teachers-gov-t-fail-to-reach-agreement-on-negotiation-table-1580816 | 2022-07-13T00:33:45Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Strike-Teachers-gov-t-fail-to-reach-agreement-on-negotiation-table-1580816 | true | 2 |
BEDMINSTER, N.J., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Do Good Chicken, the first chicken brand that fights food waste and combats climate change has been featured by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The video celebrates Do Good Chicken as a revolutionary climate-forward brand, making positive impact for our planet.
Each year about 40% of healthy grocery food gets tossed into landfills. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, if food waste were its own country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, behind the U.S. and China. To help keep this healthy food from going to waste, Do Good Foods has partnered with grocers for a smart, impactful solution, with the introduction Do Good Chicken.
Do Good Chicken upcycles nutritious surplus grocery food (after community donations are made) into healthy chicken feed. Each delicious, all-natural Do Good Chicken saves approximately four pounds of surplus food from being thrown away, thus preventing the release of approximately three pounds of greenhouse gases.
"We are beyond honored to be identified by this illustrious organization for our contribution to protecting our planet," states Justin Kamine, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Do Good Foods. "Our solution to upcycle nutritious surplus grocery food into healthy chicken feed, just makes sense," he continues. "We keep good food from going to waste in landfills, where it emits methane, a greenhouse gas 26x more potent than CO2, which accelerates climate change. Instead, we help feed chickens, then sell those carbon-reduced Do Good Chickens back to grocery stores in a closed-loop system. It's a win-win for everyone. "
The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. They operate under the belief that progress happens by bringing together people from all walks of life who have the drive and the influence to make positive change.
"This recognition is so rewarding for all of us at Do Good Foods," states Kamine. "We know we are making a difference and giving people a way to be part of the climate solution simply by buying fresh chicken. To have the World Economic Forum acknowledge our impact gives us determination to do even more."
Currently Do Good Chicken is sold at over 500 retail locations since launching in April. The first $170 million Do Good Foods facility is located in Fairless Hills, PA, with additional facilities scheduled to be built in Indiana and North Carolina in the next two years.

Gausman (ankle) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and could be an option to start Thursday's home game against the Royals, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
Gausman hasn't pitched since exiting his July 2 start against the Rays after suffering a bruised right ankle when he was struck by a comebacker, but the Blue Jays continue to delay any potential move to the injured list. The team is seemingly hopeful that he'll be ready to return to the rotation for their final series before the All-Star break, but a decision on his status might not be made until the Blue Jays get a chance to re-evaluate him Wednesday. If Gausman isn't ready to pitch against Kansas City, rookie Max Castillo would likely receive another turn through Toronto's rotation.

Montreal is finally getting its long-promised women’s pro hockey franchise, though the Premier Hockey Federation put the brakes on adding a second expansion team entering its eighth season, the league announced Tuesday.
In unveiling the U.S.-based, privately backed league’s seventh franchise and second in Canada, PHF Commissioner Reagan Carey said it was in the sport’s best interest to take a slower approach toward growth to ensure long-term stability.
“Sometimes, there’s a little energy and enthusiasm and urgency to add teams. But at the same time, you have to do it in a really thoughtful way and make sure that we’re doing everything at the right time with the right people moving forward,” Carey told The Associated Press.
“There’s been a lot of evaluating, assessing and a lot conversations in just trying to get a better understanding of what the league needs at the immediate moment, and what we need long term for a sustainable future,” she added. “And Montreal has been at the top of that since Day 1.”
The yet-to-be-named Montreal franchise has been in the works for some 18 months, with its launch already delayed a year by the COVID-19 pandemic. PHF officials in January had also committed to expanding into a U.S. location, without disclosing where.
Hired in April, Carey said she needed to better familiarize herself with the PHF before adding a second expansion team this year. As for the possibility of expanding next year, the former USA Hockey executive said: “I have no reservations about committing to expansion in Season 9.”
Women’s hockey returns to Montreal for the first time since Les Canadiennes spent 12 years playing in the nation’s second-largest city before the Canadian Women’s Hockey League folded after the 2019 season.
The team will be based at Centre 21.02, a two-rink high performance center established and run by former Canadian national women’s team coach Daniele Sauvageau, while also playing home games in various communities across Quebec to raise the team’s profile.
The Montreal franchise will be the league’s fourth owned by BTM Partners, and have a local influence among its executive. French cable TV broadcaster Kevin Raphael will serve as team president with Emmanuel Anderson named vice president. Raphael and Anderson have worked on many projects together, including hosting a hockey fundraiser to support children’s cancer foundations.
BTM also owns the Boston Pride, New Jersey-based Metropolitan Riveters and Toronto Six. Though the league announced in March that the Toronto franchise was sold to a group which includes former NHL coach Ted Nolan and former Canadian women’s hockey star Angela James, Carey said Tuesday the deal had not yet closed.
Montreal already has some catching up to do in establishing a roster some two months after the PHF’s free agency period opened.
Carey said that shouldn’t be a concern in citing the large pool of talent the team can draw from in Quebec. Montreal will also take advantage of the PHF’s decision to increase its salary cap to $750,000 per team this season — more than double the $300,000 cap last year.
Montreal marks the league’s third expansion team after adding the pre-existing Minnesota Whitecaps in 2016, and establishing a new team in Toronto two years ago.
The PHF, previously called the National Women’s Hockey League, was founded in 2015 and became North America’s first women’s hockey league to pay players a salary. The league also has teams in Buffalo, New York, and Danbury, Connecticut.
The PHF’s continued push into Canada coincides with the rival Professional Women’s Hockey Players’ Association in discussions to launch its own league within the next year. The PWHPA’s membership features a majority of U.S. and Canadian national team players who have balked at playing for the PHF.
Though rivals, Carey supports the PWHPA because it’s working toward the same objective as the PHF in seeking to grow the women’s game.
“Moving into Canada and being able to provide opportunities for players there as well as the U.S. is important for us. So it’s a North American league for sure,” Carey said. “But at the same time, we’re not resting and settling. Our intent is to continue to grow and provide more resources for players as we move forward.”

Nigerians should raise voices against PDP’s disregard for zoning ― Nabena
A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Honourable Yekini Nabena, has said Nigerians should be more worried about the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)’s disregard for power shift to the South than the single faith ticket choice of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Nabena made the submission on the heels of sustained criticisms trailing the choice of two-term Borno State Governor and Senator representing Borno Central Kashim Shettima, as the vice-presidential candidate of the APC. Incidentally, both the presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Shettima belong to the Muslim faith.
The former APC deputy national publicity secretary however told journalists in Abuja that the PDP jettisoning of zoning of the presidency was harmful to the nation that the single faith ticket of the ruling party.
Nabena noted that the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the PDP presidential candidate was against fairness and conventional power rotation between the North and the South, and not a Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling party.
The APC chieftain said Nigerians should give priority to good governance, as he noted that in the South-south geopolitical zone where most of the states have Christian-Christian governor and deputy governor, the states are yet to develop despite their huge oil revenues.
The APC former spokesman also said a single faith ticket is not new in Nigeria both under the military regimes and the civilian dispensation.
He recalled that in 2011 when the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) fielded Nuhu Ribadu and Fola Adeola, both Muslims, there was no cry by the opposition because the ticket stood no chance of winning.

Nabena said: “None of those agitating against the Muslim-Muslim ticket on the basis of fairness has considered the African traditional worshippers. How fair is it that we are agitating for fairness and equity to share power between Christians and Muslims while completely ignoring and alienating our African traditional worshippers? Where is the justice?
“Nigeria should worry more about the zoning arrangement which the PDP has just killed for their selfish interest and desperation of its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar because for Atiku it is the last chance which will become one-chance for him by 2023.”
When asked whether a Muslim-Muslim ticket will sell in the South-south where he hails from, the Bayelsa-born APC chieftain said: “In the South-south where we have Christian-Christian ticket for the governor and deputy governor still there is no tangible development. Take for example, the Niger Delta Development Commission headed by a Christian minister and a Christian managing director, what is the result?
“The APC has done the right thing by zoning the presidency to the South. Nigerians must know that religion is a matter of individual choice, the most important thing is that the presidency is in the South compared to PDP’s unfair treatment to the South.”
The APC former spokesman said Nigerians must reject PDP in 2023 to show their resentment against the injustice done to the zoning arrangement.
“PDP zoned presidency to the North while the incumbent president is from the North, a Muslim and Fulani man, just like Atiku. This actually calls for anger and not harmless Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC,” Nabena said. | https://tribuneonlineng.com/nigerians-should-raise-voices-against-pdps-disregard-for-zoning-%E2%80%95-nabena/ | 2022-07-13T00:43:05Z | https://tribuneonlineng.com/nigerians-should-raise-voices-against-pdps-disregard-for-zoning-%E2%80%95-nabena/ | false | 1 |

11 More Bodies Recovered from Lagos Boat Mishap
Rebecca Ejifoma
Eleven more bodies were yesterday recovered from the ill-fated boat sailing from Mile 2 to Ibeshe in Ojo area of Lagos state.
Following a search and rescue operation on Saturday, four bodies were found. This brings the number of rescued bodies to 15.
The acting Coordinator of the Lagos Territorial Office of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ibrahim Farinloye, confirmed the development.
“It is likely that two more bodies have been sighted. But it is until final recovery is done before that can be confirmed,” he added.
Farinloye, however, highlighted that findings showed that illegal operators carrying services after the end of official hours, 7pm, permitted by the Inland Waterway operation rules were being violated.
He said: “It was revealed that the regulatory bodies have tried to stamp out illegal operations of small boat operators who hardly use life jackets after official hours. They do not heed to efforts put in place.”
The NEMA coordinator insisted that wooden boats are not permitted to be used as passengers’ boats.
“But only at these odd hours the illegal operators always put the lives of unsuspecting passengers at risk,” he added.
Farinloye assured newsmen that efforts are on to address the gaps with all stakeholders such as the Nigerian Navy’s Special Boat Service, Association of Boat/Ferry Operators of Nigeria, LASWA, NIWA, NEMA and Marine Police to address the situation. | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/07/11/11-more-bodies-recovered-from-lagos-boat-mishap/ | 2022-07-13T00:45:34Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/07/11/11-more-bodies-recovered-from-lagos-boat-mishap/ | true | 1 |
Norm Macdonald earned a posthumous Emmy nod on Tuesday, as the nominations for the 74th Emmy Awards were announced. The comedian's standup special,Nothing Special, was released posthumously on Netflix, following his death after a lengthy battle with cancer in September 2021, and was recognized with a Emmy nomination for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded).
Nothing Special was recorded in the comedian's living room, according to a press release from Netflix. The celebrated comic recorded the performance alone, and delivered the entire thing in one take. The special is capped by a half-hour discussion from some of Macdonald's famous friends, including Dave Chappelle, David Letterman, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Conan O'Brien and Molly Shannon.
Macdonald had been preparing new material for some time, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, venues were shuttered across the country, which left the Saturday Night Live alum without a place to perform. Knowing he was sick, he opted to record the material himself.
"Norm worked so hard on a new hour of material and wanted it to be seen. While this version of Nothing Special was not originally meant to be the final product, COVID restrictions prevented him from filming in front of an audience," shared Macdonald's longtime producing partner, Lori Jo Hoekstra, in Netflix's release. "We want to make sure his fans see this very funny hour. He left this gift for all of us."
Macdonald wasn't the only star to land a posthumous nod this year. Chadwick Boseman was also recognized for voicing his Black Panther character, T'Challa, in Marvel's animated series, What If...? And the late Jessica Walter scored her second consecutive posthumous nod for her celebrated voice role on Archer.
The 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards air live on Monday, Sept. 12, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock. In the meantime, stay tuned to ETonline.com for complete Emmys coverage.

Creating a free, online source for a class in African American studies. A podcast series exploring the Latinx history in a neighborhood surrounding a postsecondary institution, created, written, and produced by students. A virtual or augmented reality visualization for students of color to explore how their histories intersect with their town.
These are just some examples of projects that the Library of Congress is looking to fund with its Connecting Communities Digital Initiative (CCDI) grants.
Through Sept. 30, the library is accepting applications from two- or four-year Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) to award up to three $50,000 grants, to be used in a 12 month period. The MSIs must submit detailed plans that focus on the experiences, narratives, and stories of Black, Native American, Latinx, Asian American, and Pacific Islander or other communities of color by using the Library of Congress’s digital archives.
“We really want the Library of Congress to be a place for all, we want to share the wealth,” said CCDI Program Director Dr. Marya McQuirter. She shared advice about the application process at a July 12 webinar hosted by the Library of Congress.
CCDI is part of the Of the People: Widening the Path multi-year initiative working to increase American engagement with the resources available at the Library of Congress. Of the People is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which seeks to enrich communities and promote critical thinking by investing in arts and the humanities.
In May, the first CCDI grant was awarded to Huston-Tillotson University (HT), an historically Black institution based in Austin, Texas. HT received $59,575 for its project that will connect Austin to the Harlem Renaissance in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s.
“They gave us a sense of the digital collections from the library, how they wanted to pair those with their own [collections],” said McQuirter. “HT will select students to be scholars, researching in residence, to use those materials to create their own original artwork, fiction, art, and fashion. Then, once these students have created their own original work, it will then be used to create physical and virtual exhibitions to enable audiences to understand both Austin, Texas, and Harlem, N.Y., in different ways.”
The HT exhibition will be open to faculty, staff, and students as well as Austin residents.
Although the grants use the “connective powers of technology to serve communities of color,” the projects that receive funds do not necessarily have to be digital themselves, according to Olivia Dorsey, a CCDI program specialist.
Applicants need to be specific about what archival data they will use from the Library of Congress. McQuirter and Dorsey encouraged a robust search of the digital contents using different search terms or accessing pre-made library collections. Researchers may be surprised by the range of data held in the library.
“One of the things I’ve found: in Chicago in the early 1970s, at some community or neighborhood center, there was a discussion about astrology and what people thought of astrology,” said McQuirter. “The panel was at least one hour long — who would have thought this is something the library would have?”
McQuirter said she discovered the content while doing research on the musician Sun Ra and afrofuturism, which explores the intersection of African diaspora with science and technology.
“I’ve been using the library as a researcher for a long, long time, and I’m constantly amazing at the breadth of materials the library has,” said McQuirter.
Projects can also study the intersections of the experiences of people of color and how other marginalized identities connect with their lives, including disability or LGBTQ+ identities. McQuirter and Dorsey said applicants should be creative, and, when in doubt, ask a librarian for help.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Before he fled Sri Lanka on Wednesday amid a crushing economic crisis, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa was the last of six members of the country's most influential family still clinging to power.
Rajapaksa, his wife and two bodyguards flew to the city of Male, the capital of the Maldives, according to an immigration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
His departure comes four days after massive crowds broke into his official residence and occupied his seaside office, and he pledged to leave the country. Protesters also stormed the residence of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, who has said he will leave once a new government is in place.
Here is a closer look at the rise and fall of Rajapaksa:
__
A FAMILY AFFAIR
For decades, the powerful land-owning Rajapaksa family had dominated local politics in their rural southern district before Mahinda Rajapaksa was elected president in 2005. Appealing to the nationalist sentiment of the island’s Buddhist-Sinhalese majority, he led Sri Lanka into a triumphant victory over ethnic Tamil rebels in 2009, ending a 26-year brutal civil war that had divided the country. His younger brother, Gotabaya, was a powerful official and military strategist in the Ministry of Defense.
Mahinda remained in office until 2015, when he lost to the opposition led by his former aide. But the family made a comeback in 2019, when Gotabaya won the presidential election on a promise to restore security in the wake of the Easter Sunday terrorist suicide bombings that killed 290 people.
He vowed to bring back the muscular nationalism that had made his family popular with the Buddhist majority, and to lead the country out of an economic slump with a message of stability and development.
Instead, he made a series of fatal mistakes that ushered in an unprecedented crisis.
TAX CUTS DRAIN GOVERNMENT FUNDS
As tourism plunged in the wake of the bombings and foreign loans on controversial development projects — including a port and an airport in the president’s home region — needed to be repaid, Rajapaksa didn't listen to economic advisers and pushed through the largest tax cuts in the country’s history. It was meant to spur spending, but critics warned it would slash the government’s finances. Pandemic lockdowns and an ill-advised ban on chemical fertilizers further hurt the fragile economy.
The country soon ran out of money and couldn’t repay its huge debts. Shortages of food, cooking gas, fuel and medicine stoked public anger at what many saw as mismanagement, corruption and nepotism.
THE END BEGINS
The family’s unravelling began in April, when growing protests forced three Rajapaksa relatives, including the finance minister, to quit their Cabinet posts and another to leave his ministerial job. In May, government supporters attacked protesters in a wave of violence that left nine dead. The anger of the protesters turned against Mahinda Rajapaksa, who was pressured to resign as prime minister and took refuge on a heavily fortified naval base.
But Gotabaya refused to go, triggering chants in the streets of “Gota Go Home!” Instead, he saw his savior in Wickremesinghe, a seasoned opposition politician who he brought in to steer the country out of the abyss. Ultimately, however, Wickremesinghe lacked the political heft and public support needed to get the job done.

Soon, Juma’s boyfriend (Alanis Guillen) will betray the trust of Velho do Rio (Osmar Prado)
In the next chapters of wetlandthe life of Jove (Jesuíta Barbosa) will be even more complicated. According to information from Zean Bravo’s column, from the Extra newspaper, the boyfriend of Juma (Alanis Guillen) will remain committed to proving to José Leoncio (Marcos Palmeira) that the old man from the river (Osmar Prado) is his missing father.
During a boat trip, Mariana’s grandson (Selma Egrei) will act in secrecy and will be able to photograph the mystical being. The jaguar woman will then beg her lover to throw the image away. The wannabe pawn, as expected, will not accept and the heir of Maria Marruá (Juliana Paes) will say that the snake-man will hate him.
“Let him hate me if he wants to… But I’ll prove to my father that his father is alive“, will shoot Irma’s nephew (Camila Morgado). At this moment, the protector of nature will appear and demand the portrait. The city boy will “deceive” his grandfather and, in the sequence, will deliver the wrong photo.

ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – When visiting the Abilene Zoo, you typically see the animals through a gate. Very rarely do you see someone getting the chance to go behind the scenes and see the animals up close, unless you’re an employee. But for one Abilene 11-year-old, the zoo really treated him with a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Ian Metcalf, 11, raised $500 in less than one day. Ian said he raised the money to help the Abilene Zoo with its 10-year master plan.
“When I heard about the 10-year master plan I felt really excited about it, so I wanted to donate,” Ian explained.
With the help and support of Ian’s entire family, he took on a big job with a tried and true business plan.
“We had, like, a lemonade and cookie stand,” Ian said. “Lots of people were donating, and also people were donating online!”
Abilene Zoo officials expressed their most profound appreciation, by inviting Ian and his family to meet his favorite animal: The capybara, the largest species of rodent.
Just in time, too, as the zoo just welcomed a new litter of capybara pups just five days earlier.
Crystal and Joe Metcalf, Ian’s parents, said they had no idea their boy’s donation would lead to this, but were grateful to be part of his adventure.
“He’s got a big heart, and anything he’s passionate about, we want to be supportive and not get in the way,” said Joe, Ian’s dad. “To see how we can lift him up so he can continue to do the things he loves.”
This once-in-a-lifetime experience left Ian with wide eyes and a big smile, as he told KTAB/KRBC he never thought he would be able to be face-to-face with a capybara.
Ian said visiting the Abilene Zoo is one of his favorite things to do and when he gets older, he hopes to own a zoo of his own! | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/11-year-old-abilene-boy-raises-funds-for-abilene-zoos-master-plan-meets-his-favorite-zoo-animal/ | 2022-07-13T01:05:27Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/11-year-old-abilene-boy-raises-funds-for-abilene-zoos-master-plan-meets-his-favorite-zoo-animal/ | false | 1 |
SEOUL, South Korea, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On the July 12, 2022, GenScript ProBio (Brian Ho-sung Min, CEO), a global CDMO, and ACT Therapeutics (Seogkyoung-Kong, CEO), developing next-generation chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy platform targeting solid cancer, announced that they had entered into a strategic partnership MOU concerning the development of a new CAR-T cell therapies. GenScript ProBio and ACT Therapeutics have agreed to strengthen their cooperation in the cell therapy field through this MOU.
GenScript ProBio and ACT Therapeutics are in the process of signing a contract for plasmid and virus vector development and production for the first pipeline of ACT Therapeutics' Advanced CAR-T Platform (ACT platform), which will also be commissioned to produce raw materials for ACT Therapeutics' subsequent pipeline.
With this agreement, GenScript ProBio has become a global partner that can support ACT platforms for ACT therapeutics.
The ACT platform is an immune cell-based next-generation cell and gene therapy technology that uses virus vectors to insert genes designed to target cancer antigens into immune cells. GenScript ProBio has a high-quality virus vector process development and one-stop service platform for GMP production required for cell and gene therapy development.
ACT Therapeutics' ACT platform, is an advanced CAR-T technology that has a next-generation structure beyond the second-generation CAR-T cell therapy targeting existing blood cancer by overcoming the immune suppression microenvironment of solid cancer and activating surrounding immune cells. And various studies have secured animal experimental data on the efficacy and safety of the ACT platform, and confirmed the therapeutic characteristics while remaining in the immunosuppressive microenvironment of solid cancer and it complements the shortcomings of the existing second-generation CAR-T, which makes it competitive technology for solid cancer.
ACT therapeutics is a Korean bio venture company that has received initial investment through DAYLI Partners, Korea's leading bio and healthcare venture capital since its establishment in 2020, and has been recognized for its technology such as receiving pre-series A investment in Samho Green Investment. Currently, investment consultations are underway with securities firms and venture capital to attract Series A investment
Brian H. Min, CEO of GenScript ProBio, said, "We are very happy to cooperate with ACT therapeutics in strategic partnership, and we are looking forward to support ACT Therapeutics' ACT platform as a global partner through our accumulated technology."
Seogkyoung-Kong, CEO of ACT Therapeutics, said, "We have completed preparations for the ACT platform to emerge globally through a strategic partnership with GenScript ProBio. We will accelerate the development of treatments targeting refractory and intractable solid cancers."

WASHINGTON — (AP) — The Biden administration is calling on people to exercise renewed caution about COVID-19, emphasizing the importance of getting booster shots for those who are eligible and wearing masks indoors as two new highly transmissible variants are spreading rapidly across the country.
The new variants, labeled BA.4 and BA.5, are offshoots of the omicron strain that has been been responsible for nearly all of the virus spread in the U.S. and are even more contagious than their predecessors. White House doctors stressed the importance of getting booster doses, even if you have recently been infected.
“Currently, many Americans are under-vaccinated, meaning they are not up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Staying up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines provides the best protection against severe outcomes.”
Walensky said the U.S. has seen a doubling in the number of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 since April, reflecting the spread of the new subvariants, though deaths remain steady around 300 per day.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said while the new variants are concerning, with boosters, indoor masking and treatments the country has the tools to keep them from being disruptive.
“We should not let it disrupt our lives," he said, "but we cannot deny that it is a reality that we need to deal with."
He added that even if someone recently had COVID-19, they should get a booster.
“Immunity wanes, so it is critical to stay up to date with COVID 19 vaccines,” he said.
All Americans age 5 and over should get a booster five months after their initial primary series, according to the CDC, and those age 50 and over — or those who are immunocompromised — should get a second booster four months after their first. According to CDC, tens of millions of eligible Americans haven't received their first booster, and of those over 50 who got their first booster, only 28% have received their second.
“If you’re over 50 and you haven’t gotten the shot this year, you should go get a shot," said White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha. "It’s going to save your life.”
Jha and Fauci said the U.S. is regularly discussing expanding eligibility for a second booster shot to all adults, but that no decision has been made yet.
“It’s a regulatory decision on the part of the FDA," Fauci said.
Jha said people who are eligible for a booster but haven't received one shouldn't wait for forthcoming vaccines targeted at the omicron strain in addition to the original form of the coronavirus. The U.S. has ordered 105 million of those updated shots, which studies show provide better protection against omicron variants, but they won't be available until the fall.
“Let me be clear, if you get vaccinated today, you’re not going to be ineligible to get the variants specific vaccine, as we get into the later part of fall and winter," Jha said. “So, this is not a tradeoff, we’ve got plenty. It’s a great way to protect yourself.”
Added Fauci, “The threat to you is now.”
Walensky noted that CDC data shows that about a third of Americans are living in areas the agency classifies as experiencing a high level of COVID spread, where the agency recommends people wear masks in public indoor spaces. Another 41% live in the CDC’s “medium” level, where it recommends that people consider their own individual risk and consider masking.

Selena Gomez Deserved An Emmy Nod (And Other Major Snubs)
From Sydney Sweeney to ‘Abbott Elementary,’ this year’s Emmy nominations were full of snubs and surprises.
Earlier today, The Television Academy released their nominations for the 2022 Emmy Awards. Honoring the perceived best in television over the past year, the sprawling list of nominees included many expected names: as many predicted, buzzy series Succession, Ted Lasso, and The White Lotus nabbed the most nominations for their individual categories (Drama, Comedy, and Limited Series, respectively), while new series like Squid Game and Only Murders in the Building made great debuts. But as is the case every year, there were also some surprising additions to the crop, as well as some truly shocking (dare I say devastating) exclusions.
So, without further ado, here are NYLON’s 15 biggest snubs and surprises.
Surprise: The Television Academy really likes Euphoria now.
Zendaya’s shocking win against more established, past-winning heavyweights like Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Colman, and Jodie Comer at the 2020 Emmy Awards will forever go down in the history books — not just because it made her the youngest actress to ever win in a leading category, but also because Euphoria, a sensational show about so-called “teenage issues,” just wasn’t the type of program The Television Academy typically acknowledged, let alone awarded.
So if Zendaya’s groundbreaking win two years ago served as a hint that you actually can teach an old dog new tricks, then this year’s 16 noms-strong Emmys haul for Euphoria should serve as definitive proof. In addition to netting another acting nomination for Zendaya, some more technical nominations (in areas like editing, cinematography, and hair/makeup), and a guest acting nomination for Colman Domingo, the HBO series also received a completely unexpected overall nomination for Outstanding Drama Series. (For a very polarizing season, at that!)
And then, there was the most astonishing reveal of them all…
Surprise: Sydney Sweeney is officially an Emmy darling.
It was only a matter of time. One of the strongest actors in a cast chock-full of formidable performers, Sydney Sweeney has always brought a fraught intensity to her performance as Euphoria’s Cassie — and in season two, creator/director Sam Levinson showered the actress with endless opportunities to show off her chops. The performance ignited a viral internet campaign to get her nominated, but until today, no one knew if her “momentum” solely existed online or not. Thankfully, it didn’t. And now, she’s a two-time Emmy nominee, thanks to The Television Academy’s (totally correct) decision to toss the actress a second nomination for her chilling performance in Limited Series ringleader The White Lotus. (It’s an especially impressive feat considering that she’s competing against four of her costars in the same category.)
Surprise: Class is officially in session for Abbott Elementary.
Coming into today’s nominations, all eyes were pointed towards Abbott Elementary. Quinta Brunson’s charming ABC comedy, about a group of dedicated teachers (and one hilariously selfish principal) in an underfunded Philadelphia public school, has widely been hailed as the “savior” of the network sitcom, with both the series and lead Brunson expected to nab noms. What was not expected, however, was the five additional nominations — for fellow actors Sheryl Lee Ralph, Tyler James Williams, and of course, scene-stealer Janelle James (all nominated for the first time in their respective careers), for the show’s casting, and for Brunson’s writing in the pilot. Seven nominations for a freshman network series? Quinta Brunson is unstoppable.
Snub: Selena Gomez is the only murder in The Television Academy’s building.
There are those snubs that only feel like snubs to me (just keep reading), and then there are those snubs that feel so universally snubby that it starts to feel almost troubling in a wider cultural context. Today, I can’t help but feel the latter about Only Murders in the Building’s Selena Gomez and her tragic absence in Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy. As one of three stars in one of this year’s most-nominated comedies, it feels oddly pointed that she would be the only one to miss out on a nomination. Sure, her costars Martin Short and Steve Martin both deliver more broadly “comic” performances (in addition to both being previous Emmy winners with undeniable name recognition), but without her stone-faced deadpan to even things out, this widely beloved Hulu breakout might not have ever caught on the way it did.
Snub: Poor Britt Lower, severed from a nomination.
Less egregious than Gomez’s snub but no less disheartening, Britt Lower was passed over for a Lead Actress in a Drama nomination despite giving one of the most memorable performances in Severance. Like Only Murders, Severance is one of the most-nominated series of the year. Also like Murders, Severance earned a nomination for one of its leads (Adam Scott), as well as for several of its supporting performances. Alas, also like Murders, the standout female lead is ignored entirely. Did The Television Academy not watch the show? How could you finish that riveting finale and not nominate the performance that silently controls it all? I know you weren’t just saving room for Reese Witherspoon after…whatever The Morning Show season two was.
Snub: No (Reservation) Dogs Allowed!
Reservation Dogs was one of last year’s most acclaimed series and a winner for Best New Series at both the Gotham Awards and the Film Independent Spirits. (It was also a nominee for Best Comedy at the Golden Globes, but let’s just ignore that.) But apparently, none of that was enough for this compelling FX dramedy, about a group of friends struggling to raise and save money for an eventual trip away from their Oklahoma reservation and towards their dream home of Los Angeles, to nab a single nomination. Groundbreaking for its Indigenous cast and crew and beloved for its sharply-observed writing and acting, Reservation Dogs could have easily replaced something like Curb Your Enthusiasm in the Outstanding Comedy Series category. Sure, we already have some Taika Waititi representation here with another nomination for What We Do in the Shadows, but it would have been nice to see some new blood too.
Snub: Hacks is not the only comedy on HBO Max.
Speaking of new blood… When Hacks won three Emmys for its first season last year, it felt exciting. At the time, the show was the new kid on the block. A year later, however, Hacks can’t help but feel like the new Big Man On Campus — the second comedy, after Ted Lasso, to really feel like it could eventually become a Veep-level Emmy fixture. Given how much the show has continued to dazzle in its second round (especially ih Jean Smart’s performance), I’m all for that. But not if it completely takes the spotlight away from other, slightly smaller HBO Max shows.
Because let’s face it. HBO Max is producing some of the best comedies around, even if The Television Academy refuses to notice. After releasing its fifth and final season earlier this year, Search Party has ended its run with not even a single nomination to show for it. While this final outing might have had one too many big ideas, the peerless supporting performances delivered by John Early and Meredith Hagner were as piercingly hilarious as they always have been. And what about The Other Two, my favorite comedy of 2021, which was even better in season two? Drew Tarver, Heléne Yorke, Molly Shannon, and Wanda Sykes could all easily squeeze into their respective acting categories, and I know some of these sharp episodes are worthy of writing acknowledgement. And don’t get me started on the subversive Our Flag Means Death…
Snub: Being holy isn’t enough to get The Righteous Gemstones to Emmy heaven.
Outside the Max umbrella, there are also several shows on HBO proper that have, somehow, gone ignored by The Television Academy for multiple seasons. At the top of this list? The Righteous Gemstones, which should actually be the heir apparent to Veep, thanks to its similarly irreverent comedy style. With hilarious jokes, insightful critique of prosperity gospel and capitalism, and winning performances from creator Danny McBride and especially Edi Patterson, I’m personally offended that it’s been shut out yet again. Maybe third time’s the charm?
Surprise: Inventing Anna gets to rest easy on The Staircase lying Under the Banner of Heaven.
If you had told me months ago that Inventing Anna, a barely bearable waste of what was initially a surefire hit of a story, would soon be occupying a coveted space in the highly competitive Outstanding Limited Series category, I would have laughed. That the talented Julia Garner could make a space for herself amongst the other lead actors made sense; already a two-time winner, she admittedly does admirable work as the titular character. But an overall nomination? No. Not that. Well. Yes. Unfortunately, exactly that. Next to expected nominees like The White Lotus, Dopesick, and The Dropout, Inventing Anna grabbed a spot that could have just as easily gone to any of the more deserving limited series — namely, Hulu’s immersive Mormon detective story, Under the Banner of Heaven, or HBO’s indescribable semi-recreation of The Staircase.
Snub: Justice For Zach Cherry!
You know what, let’s pour one out for Zach Cherry too. Easily the most lovable character in Severance, he should have been there right alongside John Turturro and Christopher Walken in the Supporting Actor category. If The Television Academy can make room for three different Succession actors in the same category, they can do the same for Severance. Don’t argue.
Snub: Brian Tyree Henry is Atlanta. Not Donald Glover.
Now, for a snub that’s much more…personal. In another instance of one star getting nominated while the other is ignored, may I present to you: Donald Glover vs. Brian Tyree Henry. While Atlanta’s long-awaited third season was its worst by far, I was not surprised to see it nominated for the evocative cinematography of season opener “Three Slaps” or the beautiful direction of “New Jazz” (the season’s strongest episode). Where I didn’t expect it to pop up? In Outstanding Lead Actor. Not because Atlanta doesn’t feature an outstanding lead performance, but rather, because Atlanta’s lead performance is given by Brian Tyree Henry, as now-successful rapper Earn. Not by Donald Glover. I get it: Atlanta is Glover’s show; as the creator and writer, he is considered the show’s center — much like Insecure’s Issa Rae, Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Barry’s Bill Hader. But in Atlanta, Henry is as much a lead as Glover, if not more. And when it comes to performances, his is much more demanding, and consequently, more impressive. Why else would “New Jazz,” a Henry-centric episode, get special recognition?
Surprise: Lizzo got everyone to Watch Out for her Big Grrrls.
Though I am growing increasingly bored with the continued dominance of RuPaul’s Drag Race here, I am always impressed by The Television Academy’s diversity of taste when it comes to reality competition programs. I remember screaming the first time Netflix’s delectable Making It! broke through, and then, screaming once again when the show’s delightful host Nicole Byer earned her own solo nomination for Outstanding Host the following year. (They both repeated this year). This year, I’m doing the same for Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, which garnered enough acclaim over the past few months to earn a nomination for its first season. A fun yet heartfelt show about talent, teamwork, and self-love, this Prime Video original deserves its moment. And who knows, maybe Lizzo will be the host to finally unseat RuPaul next year?
Snub: The sweeping Pachinko is swept under the rug.
Apple TV+ made a strong showing today thanks to The Television Academy’s gleeful welcome to freshman series Severance and their continued ogling over sophomore comedy Ted Lasso. (How The Morning Show managed to squeeze Reese Witherspoon in for Lead Actress in a Drama is beyond me.) But the service failed to nab any recognition for what might be its actual best show, the sprawling, time-hopping, continent-jumping Pachinko. A beautifully directed, written, and acted drama, Pachinko should’ve been an all-around player. But I guess The Television Academy doesn’t really watch non-English TV shows until they’ve hit the top spot on Netflix.
Surprise: Sarah Paulson just can’t be stopped.
The name of the game is to never — and I mean, never — rule out Sarah Paulson. Though Impeachment, the Monica Lewinsky-centered season of American Crime Story, has not been discussed at all since it aired last fall, Paulson still managed to sneak in to nab her eighth nomination — this time, for donning a fatsuit to play historical villain Linda Tripp.
Snub: The Television Academy did not Love That for me (at least for now).
Okay, okay. I never really expected any nominations for I Love That For You. But that doesn’t mean this truly uproarious comedy didn’t deserve the same freshman welcoming as Abbott Elementary this year or Hacks last. Starring former SNL player Vanessa Bayer as an aspiring home shopping network saleswoman, Molly Shannon as her biggest inspiration, and Jenifer Lewis as their no-nonsense boss, this Showtime series really has it all. I’ll be waiting for The Television Academy to catch up before next year. | https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/emmy-nominations-2022-snubs-selena-gomez | 2022-07-13T01:09:33Z | https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/emmy-nominations-2022-snubs-selena-gomez | false | 1 |
Scottie Scheffler is still the No. 1-ranked player in the world. He’s still the reigning Masters champion and one of the hottest-hitting golfers of the year.
Yet Scheffler’s odds to win The Open Championship this week at St. Andrews in Scotland have faded into the crowd, which may be causing bettors to jump on his longer-than-usual number.
BetRivers said Tuesday that Scheffler — sixth on the board at +1800 to win The Open — has attracted both the highest share of the handle (8.6 percent) and the most total bets (7 percent) at the sportsbook.
Scheffler broke through earlier this year with four victories across six starts, culminating at the Masters. He missed the cut at the PGA Championship in a bit of a surprise, but rebounded last month at the U.S. Open by tying for second.
But the 25-year-old is not one of the handful of favorites on the futures market this week. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland is the consensus favorite, coming in at +1000 at BetRivers. The four-time major champion won the Canadian Open last month and scored top-10 finishes at each of the first three majors of the year.
Then there’s Xander Schauffele, second-favorite at +1400, whose recent form has him hotter than anyone in golf. Schauffele has won his last two PGA Tour starts, the Scottish Open and the Travelers Championship, and sandwiched them around a victory at a 36-hole pro-am in Ireland.
Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm of Spain and U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick of England are tied at +1600 at BetRivers. All three are past major winners, but none are garnering as much action as Scheffler.
It was a similar story at BetMGM, where Scheffler was tied with Spieth, Rahm, and Fitzpatrick at +1800, also behind McIlroy (+1000) and Schauffele (+1400). As of Monday morning, Scheffler accounted for 8 percent of the handle, behind only McIlroy (13.1 percent), fan favorite Tiger Woods (8.4 percent) and Spieth (8.1 percent).
The Open begins Thursday.

Yes, Top Gun: Maverick Paid To Use Actual Fighter Planes, And Yes, It Cost The Movie A Pretty Penny
By Adam Holmes published
This wasn’t cheap!
It goes without saying that just like with the original Top Gun, it wouldn’t have been possible to shoot Top Gun: Maverick without the proper aircraft. Namely, the sequel required access to actual fighter planes, including F/A-18 Super Hornets and F-35s. Well, Maverick’s cast and crew acquired those fighter planes, but it cost a pretty penny to make that happen.
Now to be clear, Tom Cruise and his costars who played pilots in Top Gun: Maverick did actually fly for the movie. However, when it came to the F/A-18 Super Hornets and F-35s, Bloomberg reports that not only did it cost as much as $11,374 an hour to borrow these fighter planes from the U.S. Navy, but Tom Cruise and the other actors weren’t allowed to touch the controls due to Pentagon regulations preventing civilians from controlling a Defense Department asset other than small arms in training scenarios. Instead, Cruise and the actors rode behind the pilots of these fighter planes after completing the required training on how to eject from the plane in an emergency and how to survive at sea.
Spending over $10,000 an hour just for access to a fighter plane is definitely not the sort of thing that could be done without funding from a major studio, but fortunately Paramount Pictures is a big Hollywood player. With a reported budget of $170 million, renting those jets likely carved out a decent portion of that allocated money. Having said that, it was also mentioned in the report that filmmakers don’t need to reimburse the Pentagon for the aircraft if they’re already being “used in a previously scheduled training exercise or the flight can be counted toward the pilot’s required time at the controls.”
In any case, this was money well spent as part of putting Top Gun: Maverick together. The sequel, which was directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer and Christopher McQuarrie, finally opened wide to the public on May 27, nearly three full years after it was once supposed to hit theaters. We reunited with Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell as he was tasked with training a select group of TOPGUN graduates for a dangerous mission. Cruise’s costars included Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, Lewis Pullman, Charles Parnell, Jay Ellis and Danny Ramirez.
Along with scoring critical acclaim, including our own Eric Eisenberg giving the movie 4 out of 5 stars in his review, Top Gun: Maverick is one of the biggest commercial successes of 2022. It’s not only the highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide so far, it’s also the first to surpass $1 billion. Tom Cruise and Miles Teller have even talked about the possibility of making Top Gun 3, and obviously we’ll let you know whether or not a threequel actually moves forward.
Top Gun: Maverick is still playing in theaters, but it will become available to stream for Paramount+ subscribers sometime later this year. Look though our 2022 release schedule to see what movies are left to come out this year.

The home of Malin GAA club at Connolly Park an, inset, the late John Byrne
Communities in Malin, Inishowen, Bruckless, Killybegs and Kilcar are united in grief this week at the shock death of John Byrne.
The late John Byrne was a native of Bruckless but lived most of his adult life in the townland of Beaugha, Malin, where he settled and raised his family. He was 72 and he died suddenly on Monday evening.
He is survived by his loving wife Susan, daughters Celine, Ann Marie, and Grainne and son Jonathan, Martin and Lochlainn Boston, Charlie and Conor, Malin and Stephen, Dublin. And by his brothers Danny, Cathal, Seamus and Terence and sisters Margaret, Teresa, Marian and Dolores.
“We are just numb with grief,” said Pat McLaughlin (F) friend and Malin GAA club chairman. “John was a giant in this community, a GAA man, businessman and farmer and a great community man and friend. John was a great character and we will never see his like again.
“He was old school and a one off and he was a great GAA man and was one of the men along with David Gallagher and Pat McLaughlin (Rurstard) that built the club. And he was a proud man in Buncrana on Sunday when the senior team won promotion back up to Division 1. He shook my hand afterwards and he said we got all our decisions right.
“In fact he shook my hand twice on Sunday. I rushed away from Buncrana after the senior game because I was managing our U15 team in a final on Sunday night. We won the final and after the game I turned around to see who was one of the first men to shake my hand but John congratulated us on our win.
“I went home after the final because I was tired but I heard yesterday John joined the senior players in celebrating their promotion and bought them all a round of drinks. And he had started the day taking up the collection at mass. But that was typical of John; he was always on the go. He was the heart and soul of the community and we are going to miss him terribly.
“He was in the best of form on Sunday and he worked all day Monday doing deliveries and came home on Monday and felt unwell and sadly died shortly after. It is hard to take in that he is gone from us.
“On a personal level and from a club level I am going to miss him terribly. I have been chairman of the club for the last six years and John has been the club treasurer for as long as I can remember and he has been the rock in all his years involved with the club.”
John was also a great Donegal supporter and never missed a game and he was a proud man when Jonathan played in goal for the county minors in 1997, I think it was and when a few years later Charlie lined out for Donegal seniors.
His remains are reposing at his home in waked at his home in Beaugha and his funeral is on Thursday and he will be laid to rest after 11am mass in St Patrick's Church, Aughaclay, Malin, in the adjoining graveyard.

VIRGINIA BEACH — A world-record-setting Virginia Beach surf competition carved out a new level of city support on Tuesday.
The City Council approved a $750,000 sponsorship of the East Coast Surfing Championships. The event is 60 years old and is the longest continually run surf competition in the world. It is also the leading tax revenue generator of special events in the city.
“It’s a dream come true,” Dee Nachnani, owner of Coastal Edge surf shop, said Tuesday night after the vote.
Coastal Edge is the title sponsor of the event and helps support its operation. The Virginia Beach Jaycees owns the ECSC and provides volunteers.
“I’m overwhelmed,” said Tony Pellino, chairman of the event and a Jaycees member. “This is just an amazing opportunity for the city.”
The ECSC, held in August, has included free live music in the past. The city’s sponsorship is earmarked for enhancing the event’s musical offerings, and tickets will be sold with 25% of sales going to the city.
Pop singer Ava Max and rock band The Offspring will be among the performers.
“Those are locked in,” ECSC General Manager George Alcaraz said. “We’re going to have a good celebration.”
The complete lineup for the event, to be held Aug. 21-28, will be announced soon.
“We’re just so excited to be able to partner up with the city and to celebrate what we already know, that we’re one of the best cities in the country,” Nachnani said.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Democrats in the House and Senate says banks are taking advantage of Americans through overdraft fees.
“They are the product of years of price gouging and a punitive practice that punishes low-income consumers,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said.
Maloney introduced a bill limiting how many overdraft fees consumers can face in a year and says the fees they do charge must be reasonable.
“Charging $35 for a $3 cup of coffee is simply predatory,” Maloney said.
Some banks have already eliminated or reduced their fees.
“But there are still many financial institutions who have hurt those most disadvantaged consumers,” Maloney said.
Maloney expects the bill to pass the house. But Senate Democrats face a bigger challenge.
“Billions of dollars being made off of the backs of low-income families who are struggling to make it,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said.
Booker and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) believe this bill would level the playing field.
“Big banks have to be held accountable for predatory practices that they’ve gotten away with for far too long,” Booker said.
“For the banks, overdrafts are almost pure profit,” Warren said.
Warren wants Senate Republicans to join their fight.
“Who wants to be the Republican who says ‘it’s okay for giant banks to continue to squeeze hard-working families,” Warren said.
But when asked Tuesday, Republicans leaders declined to take a position. | https://www.yourerie.com/news/washington-dc/house-and-senate-democrats-call-for-action-against-overdraft-fees/ | 2022-07-13T01:27:03Z | https://www.yourerie.com/news/washington-dc/house-and-senate-democrats-call-for-action-against-overdraft-fees/ | false | 12 |

The 38-year-old Australian spoke to MensXP and revealed that his brother was first interested in the role, although Finally he ended up staying with him protagonist
In another recent interview with Wired Autocomplete, Chris revealed that his audition was not good and that his brother Liam almost landed the part.

How Sri Lanka's protests unfolded
A deep financial crisis has left Sri Lanka struggling to pay for imports of food, medicine and fuel and brought thousands of protesters on to the streets.
On Wednesday, a government source said President Gotabaya Rajapaksa had fled the country, hours before he had been due to step down after widespread protests over his handling of the crisis.
Here are some of the key developments in the crisis:
* March 31, 2022
Demonstrators march to Rajapaksa's private residence to protest over worsening economic conditions.
* April 3
Rajapaksa dissolves the cabinet, which includes his younger brother Basil Rajapaksa as finance minister. His elder brother Mahinda Rajapaksa continues as prime minister.
* April 9
Protests escalate, with sit-in demonstrations outside Rajapaksa's office aimed at removing the president to pave the way for political reforms.
* May 9
Following widespread clashes between pro- and anti-government protesters, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa resigns. Countrywide violence leaves nine dead and about 300 injured.
* July 9
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa informs the parliamentary speaker that he plans to step down on July 13, after protesters storm into the official presidential residence. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe says he is willing to resign too.
* July 13
The president flees the country, according to two sources.

Rugby-Wales must be clinical to beat Springboks again says Adams
By Mark Gleeson
CAPE TOWN, July 12 (Reuters) - Wales will need to be clinical and utilise any chances that come their way if they are to achieve a series win over world champions South Africa at the weekend, said winger Josh Adams.
The tourists go into Saturday’s third and final test against South Africa in buoyant mood after edging the Springboks 13-12 in Bloemfontein last weekend to level their series.
It was a first victory for Wales in South Africa and Adams hailed the effort as they came good in the last minutes to snatch the victory.
"Our resolve just to stay in the fight was really good; the forwards kept chipping away. We didn't rush anything, we didn't lose any patience," he told a news conference on Tuesday.
"You have to be clinical against South Africa, especially when you get into their 22. You've got to come away with as many points as you can get. We were clinical -- one shot, one kill if you like."
Another victory on Saturday at the Cape Town Stadium, where Adams was on the losing side with the British & Irish Lions last year, would be a major boost with an eye on next year’s World Cup in France, he said.
"To come out here and win a series will fill the squad with loads of confidence to take forward.
"We've showed how good we can be and our challenge is to stay there and be consistent. Probably in times gone past we haven't been as consistent as we'd liked, but in the two games we played out here we've got better from game one to game two," Adams added.
Wales flyhalf Dan Biggar’s injured shoulder is still a concern ahead of the decisive test against South Africa at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday, assistant coach Gethin Jenkins said.
Biggar was replaced in last Saturday’s test and is in a race to get fit for the third and final match of Wales’ tour.
However, the Welsh are more confident about the availability of tight-head Dillon Lewis, who also left the field injured.
"He’s recovered well and hopefully he’ll train on Thursday and be back on the field on the weekend," said Jenkins.

Road Work To Slow Traffic In Calaveras County
Arnold, CA — Moran Road in the Arnold area of Calaveras County will be closed to local traffic through mid-August.
The Moran Road Improvement Project Phase II will include crews making road improvements and doing paving.

That section of roadway will be closed Tuesday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and then reopened to through traffic after that time.
During the daily road closures, local traffic will be required to use an alternate route. County road officials noted, “Emergency service vehicles will be able to enter the work zone. Please observe all traffic control signs and the instructions of onsite personnel.”
For questions or concerns regarding the project, contact Calaveras County Public Works at (209) 754-6401. | https://www.mymotherlode.com/news/local/2672072/road-work-to-slow-traffic-in-calaveras-county.html | 2022-07-13T01:47:35Z | https://www.mymotherlode.com/news/local/2672072/road-work-to-slow-traffic-in-calaveras-county.html | false | null |
“My work is about beauty, truth, and connectivity. With a global pandemic now more than ever people need this type of artwork to connect to.”
It’s critical for any artist to innovate. Especially these days, and in a region as costly as Greater Boston. Very few of us can simply hang out and create without also having to worry about paying exorbitant rents.
We see a lot of different kinds of crowdfunding in these spaces, and were drawn to Boston artist Heather Buechler’s note in our inbox about her raising funds “for a new project to send light and love out into the Northeast.” It involves “a matching grant from Massachusetts Growth Capital Corporation (MGCC),” and we wanted to know more.
Heather is the owner of Heather Buechler Art, a “LGTBQ+ woman-owned small local business in Boston” who “has been a working artist for over 28 years.” “She spent the last six years working on a series of paintings based on spirituality and interconnectivity,” and started her current “project to obtain a work vehicle because she realized how much she was missing out on opportunities because of not having the option to drive her paintings to shows outside of Boston.”
We asked Buechler about all of the above and more …
This is a cool way to raise money as an artist. Have you ever done anything like this before? Any crowdfunding campaigns of any sort?
The South End Art Diva’s Vehicle Project is my first experience at crowdfunding on my own. Previously, I have donated artwork to various fundraisers and also sold paintings to raise money for the NAACP legal defense fund in support of BLM. I have participated in group fundraisers. Recently the SOWA Artists Guild that I am a member of did a fundraiser that was also supported by a matched grant to raise funds for World Central Kitchen to support Ukrainian relief aid. Small works of art were donated by guild artists and the Daymarc Foundation triple matched donations, so the guild raised over $100,000. This is a great example about how crowdfunding can work.
And also please tell us a little more about the match …
My goal is to raise $10,916 in crowdfunding and every dollar raised will be matched by MGCC. I do have to hit the goal of $10,916 to secure the MGCC match which means all donations will be collected as pledges and credit cards won’t be charged until I hit that goal. Additionally: Business owner can not contribute to their own campaign; Have at least 20 patrons; No single supporter can contribute more than 50% towards your goal; Have at least 10% of your contributions submitted online through the platform.
Tell us why it’s so important for an artist like you to have a vehicle. Is it as simple as getting paintings around in?
I started this project to obtain a work vehicle because I had realized I was missing out on exhibition and sales opportunities because of not having the option to drive my paintings to shows outside of Boston. Boston is a great walking city and we also have great public transit so outside of needing a work vehicle I don’t really need to drive anywhere. However, I do need a vehicle to transport my artwork. For years I relied on friends and taxis then Zipcar and now Uber. But that puts a burden on friends to help me transport my artwork and Uber drivers sometimes are not overly excited about having large canvases in their vehicles.
Basically, I have been limiting myself because I don’t apply for any shows that are outside of Boston because it would be too difficult for me to transport my work there. This means that I’m missing out on exhibition and sales opportunities for my small business. Having the opportunity to drive my artwork outside of Boston will greatly advance my career in the art world.
You have a lot of New England influences in your work. Tell us about this particular set of paintings related to this project …
My abstract paintings are based on interconnectivity and spirituality. As such, at first glance my art appears to be merely abstract, but upon careful visual interaction with it one cannot help but feel the soothing peacefulness that emanates from the canvas. This feeling isn’t coincidental—it is intentionally crafted and it is the force behind my work. This visual interpretation of universal connectivity allows the viewer to lose themselves within the borders of the canvas. On a rudimentary level, my work is about beauty, truth, and connectivity. With a global pandemic now more than ever people need this type of artwork to connect to.
I begin every painting with meditation. I studied Reiki energy healing and the Sutras of Zen Buddhism. These practices and spiritual beliefs are the essence of my artistic inspirations. I practice Reiki on myself, the canvas, and my painting tools. This allows me to connect to my intuition and creates a soothing space for me to paint. I make a request to the universe to make something that’s beautiful and meaningful for someone else. I believe each painting has a person that it’s meant for. Once I get in the flow the painting takes on a life of its own- balancing happy accidents with composition, color, and expression. This artistic experiment highlights the need to find a calm state of mind to find balance in today’s stressful world. My work continues to provide a powerful example of finding peace despite the difficulties of the past two years.
During the 2020 COVID restrictions we were getting a lot of rain during Nor’easters. I decided to do a series inspired by watching the Boston lights through the rain from my window. The new series utilizes bright colors and energetic brush strokes. I decided to title this new series Driving lessons with mermaids to symbolize the craziness we’ve all experienced during this time.
What are your observations of the Boston art scene at this moment in time? Any chance you’ll be taking this vehicle and heading someplace else? Or are you here to stay?
Boston has a thriving art scene. Not only do we have major art museums, but we also have the SOWA Art District. In my studio building at 450 Harrison Ave we have over 100 artists. The artists and galleries open up to the public every First Friday evening and Sundays year-round. Also, on Sundays during the summer we have the SOWA market and Art Gallery stroll with hundreds of artists in their studios, outdoor art and food vendors, cafe and drinks, outdoor lawn games and a DJ every week. Both events draw not only locals but tourists with an average over 1000 people coming through on First Friday. I’ve never been anywhere that has such a thriving art scene so I’m definitely here to stay.
First Friday and SOWA Sundays are great events and I encourage art lovers to stop by Studio 215 at 450 Harrison Ave and if you can’t stop by you can check out my artwork online at www.heatherbuechler.com.

Warning! There are spoilers ahead for the movie “Thor: Love and Thunder”.
A new fragment of the concept art “Thor: Love and Thunder” shows an early version of Natalie Portman’s buff Mighty Thor. After the success of the 2017 film Thor: Ragnarok, director Taika Waititi returns again to direct the recently released film Thor: Love and Thunder. The film shows the return of the titular Thor Chris Hemsworth, where he gathers a team of heroes to confront the newest villain of the MCU, Gorr, the butcher god of Christian Bale.
Having first appeared in the 2011 film Thor, Portman returns in Thor: Love and Thunder as Jane Foster, a famous astrophysicist. This character has previously appeared in “Thor: Kingdom of Darkness” and briefly appeared in “Avengers: Finale,” but “Thor: Love and Thunder” puts Foster in the spotlight like never before. This time Jane, suffering from stage 4 cancer, becomes the Mighty Thor only armed with Mjolnir, the old hammer of Thor, and puts on epic armor in Scandinavian style. Although reviews of “Thor: Love and Thunder” have been mixed from both viewers and critics, many have praised the new, stronger version of Foster that appears in the film, after she was previously limited in earlier appearances due to her mortal human form.
In a new concept art, artist Andy Park shares a look at an early version of Portman’s strong Thor. Park writes in his signature that he drew this piece about 3 years ago for Waititi, and the result is surprisingly close to what happened in the final film. The helmet, cape, armor, and even Portman’s muscles seem to have all transferred to the screen during the production of the film.
In MCU films such as “Avengers: Finale” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”, characters are dressed in costumes that were added during the post-production stage, since their design was not finalized during filming. However, the above concept art suggests that Thor: Love and Thunder did not have this problem with the design of the Mighty Thor. It is believed that the filming of the film “Thor: Love and Thunder” began in early 2021, which means that the image of the Mighty Thor performed by Portman could well have been completed long before Park attributes the creation of concept art to the summer of 2019.
As both “Thor” and “Thor: Kingdom of Darkness” struggle to make Jane feel like a powerful player in each movie’s respective story, her transformation into the Mighty Thor in “Thor: Love and Thunder” finally equated the character with Hemsworth’s Thor. Although some have noticed the poor quality of the computer graphics used to create the Thor and Mighty Thor battle helmets, most of the rest of the costume seems to have been created practically, down to some small details presented in the film Pak. conceptual art. The impressive costume and character design of the Mighty Thor, combined with the game and Portman’s bright appearance, helped Jane become an outstanding player in the game “Thor: Love and Thunder”. | https://www.somagnews.com/concept-art-thor-love-and-thunder-shows-natalie-portman-the-god-buff/ | 2022-07-13T01:57:17Z | https://www.somagnews.com/concept-art-thor-love-and-thunder-shows-natalie-portman-the-god-buff/ | true | 1 |

The FDA, along with CDC, is assisting the Florida Department of Health (FL DOH) and Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS) in investigating an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to ice cream supplied by Big Olaf Creamery of Sarasota, Florida.
Based on epidemiological information collected by CDC and the FL DOH, Big Olaf ice cream products are a likely source of illness in this outbreak. A total of 23 people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes have been reported from 10 states. Of the 18 people interviewed, all (100%) reported eating ice cream. Among 18 people who remembered details about the type of ice cream they ate, 10 reported eating Big Olaf Creamery brand ice cream or eating ice cream at locations that might have been supplied by Big Olaf Creamery. Twelve sick people are residents of Florida and nine reported traveling to Florida before getting sick.
FDA is concerned that retailers may still be selling Big Olaf ice cream products. Retailers should not sell or serve Big Olaf ice cream products and should throw them away. Consumers who may still have these products in their freezers should not eat or serve any Big Olaf ice cream products and should also throw the product away.
This is an ongoing investigation, and the firm has initiated a voluntary recall of its ice cream products. The FDA is continuing to work with the FL DOH and FDACS to investigate and will update this advisory should additional consumer safety information become available.
Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, sell, or serve any Big Olaf ice cream products and should throw the product away, regardless of the “Best By” or expiration date.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have these symptoms after eating Big Olaf ice cream products:
• Pregnant people typically experience only fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. However, Listeria infection during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn.
• People who are not pregnant may experience headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.
Consumers, restaurants, and retailers who purchased or received any Big Olaf ice cream products should throw the products away, follow FDA’s safe handling and cleaning advice and use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces and containers that may have come in contact with these products to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Listeria can survive in refrigerated temperatures and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces. | https://thedailyripple.org/index.php/component/content/article/47-food/956538-fda-do-not-eat-sell-or-serve-ice-cream-products-from-big-olaf-creamery-of-sarasota-florida | 2022-07-13T01:57:25Z | https://thedailyripple.org/index.php/component/content/article/47-food/956538-fda-do-not-eat-sell-or-serve-ice-cream-products-from-big-olaf-creamery-of-sarasota-florida | false | 2 |
The Reserve Bank will deliver its latest Monetary Policy Review today at 2pm, where it is expected to lift the official cash rate for the third meeting in a row.
The Reserve Bank, along with most central banks around the world, is tightening monetary conditions in a bid to curtail rising inflation.
New Zealand's annual inflation rate hit 6.9 per cent for the year to March, the largest movement since 1990. The wholesale interest rate market has priced in the OCR peaking at 3.94 per cent, matching the Reserve Bank's own forecast peak rate.
Economists expect another 50 basis point hike today, which would take the official cash rate to 2.5 per cent.

Everyone has questions during the home buying process, and while my first job is to be a facilitator of home financing you can trust, I also want to lay out a plan for your future homes purchases.” Those who want to learn more about Louis Wickett can take a look at the latest article about him.
The FHA home financing program has the purpose of helping low- to moderate-income families who desire to own a home. This home financing source is insured by the federal government and is offered by a bank or a financial institution approved by the FHA. The primary advantage of the FHA home financing program is that it has a lower minimum down payment when compared to the conventional home financing providers. In addition, home buyers with lower credit scores may also have the chance to get their application approved.
Obviously, the VA home financing program can only be used by veterans and military service members, and their surviving spouses. It is the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that provides a home financing guaranty and other housing-related programs as a way to hlep veterans and those who are in active service when they want to acquire, build, keep, renovate, or adapt a home for personal occupancy. The funding for the VA home programs originate from private financing companies but it is the VA that gives the guaranty, enabling the home buyer to take advantage of low interest rates, no home financing insurance, no down payment, and more.
For those who already own a home, home refinancing may be a good idea for those have an adjustable rate home financing deal, which implies that the interest rate is relatively low at the start but this will gradually increase over time. While this kind of arrangement is attractive for the home buyer for the first few months, there may come a time that the interest rate will be higher compared to the rate used for the regular type of home financing contract. By using a home refinancing arrangement, the homeowner may be able to avoid such higher rates. In addition, the homeowner may be able to benefit from the equity that has already accumulated for the property. It is also possible to shorten the term of the home financing deal.

Aces hold off Sabrina Ionescu-fueled rally to beat Liberty
A'ja Wilson had 23 points and 14 rebounds and Kelsey Plum scored 27 points Tuesday night for the visiting Las Vegas Aces, who raced out to a 24-point lead before holding off a furious comeback by the New York Liberty to earn a 107-101 win.
Jackie Young also had 23 points and Chelsea Gray added 14 points as the Aces (16-7) snapped a two-game losing streak.
Sabrina Ionescu scored 27 points -- including 12 in the final minute of the game -- as the Liberty (9-14) dropped their second in a row. Natasha Howard (20 points, 11 rebounds) had a double-double while Sami Whitcomb scored 17 points off the bench. The Liberty made 15 of 31 shots from the arc.
The Aces never trailed and opened their biggest lead when Plum scored the final four points of the first half to cap a 6-0 run and put Las Vegas up 52-28 at halftime.
Plum's 3-pointer with 5:03 left in the third gave the Aces a 65-42 lead before Whitcomb sparked a 21-6 run for the Liberty that allowed the hosts to cut the gap to 71-63 at the end of the period. Whitcomb hit five 3-pointers to contribute 15 points in the surge, including treys on four consecutive trips in a span of 1:47 late in the quarter.
Rebecca Allen's 3-pointer 1:08 into the fourth pulled the Liberty within seven, but Kiah Stokes answered with a 3-pointer for the Aces and Gray hit two free throws 59 seconds later. Las Vegas maintained a double-digit lead until New York went on a 25-13 run to pull within 101-98 on Ionescu's old-fashioned three-point play with 18.1 seconds left
But Young followed by hitting two free throws for the Aces, who drained each of their last 10 attempts from the line in the final 33.7 seconds. Allen then air-balled a 3-pointer for the Liberty and Young sandwiched four more free throws around an Ionescu 3-pointer.
The Aces moved within a half-game of the WNBA-leading Chicago Sky, who played later Wednesday. New York entered the second half of the season in a fight with the Atlanta Dream, Los Angeles Sparks and Dallas Wings for the final three playoff spots.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — After the Russian invasion, Katie Nelha and her husband couldn’t safely return to their home in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, so they took their chances as refugees. Flying from Poland, where they were working, to Mexico in early April, they crossed into the U.S. at Tijuana, where they were granted a temporary visa for humanitarian reasons.
Once in Sacramento, Nelha, 24, relied on a county translator to help her enroll in Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, to cover the cost of visiting an optometrist. “I need glasses to pass my eye test and get a driver’s license so we can start looking for work,” Nelha said through an interpreter. She plans to find a job in one of the city’s dozens of Ukrainian and Russian restaurants.
The thriving Slavic communities in the California cities of Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Francisco have become magnets for Ukrainians fleeing war less than a year after the state experienced an influx of Afghans in response to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Many refugees need health care immediately, for conditions such as pregnancy, high blood pressure, and diabetes or because of trauma they’ve recently experienced.
Earlier this year, the state Department of Health Care Services issued an advisory reminding local governments to enroll refugees in health programs because those who may not be eligible for federal services often qualify for state-administered programs, including full-coverage Medi-Cal, which covers doctor visits, vaccinations, screenings, and medications.
But the social service agencies tasked with delivering much of that care are straining to keep up with demand. Understaffed after years of dwindling funding, they’re now desperate for skilled interpreters who can walk newly arrived refugees through the application process and attend clinic appointments with them.
“We have four staff who speak Russian or Ukrainian, and we really need three more to meet all the demand,” said Dr. Sumi Mishra, medical director for Sacramento County’s Department of Health Services. “We can’t find them.”
Mishra said the county’s refugee health clinic is recruiting for six open positions. But because the jobs require language skills, the candidate pool is limited. And a county salary — a recent posting put the range for a Ukrainian language specialist at $37,000 to $45,000 — often can’t compete with private-sector offerings. The median household income in Sacramento County is more than $70,000, according to 2020 data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The shortage extends to other languages as well. “We can’t find enough Pashto and Dari speakers [for Afghan enrollees] who will take those positions,” Mishra said.
Rich Desmond, a Sacramento County supervisor whose district includes some of the unincorporated areas in which many Ukrainian immigrants have settled, said the pandemic exposed long-standing funding and staff shortages in public health. Between 2010 and 2019, public health workforce funding in the state fell 14%, according to the UC Berkeley Labor Center. And several Sacramento County health officials told KHN that they’re chronically understaffed.
“It really laid bare where the gaps were,” Desmond said.
The problem appears to be more severe in Sacramento County because of the influx of refugees to the region. The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, for example, said it has enough interpreters to meet demand.
Sacramento has the highest concentration of Ukrainian immigrants in the country, according to the Migration Policy Institute, which says that about 18,000 Ukrainians reside permanently in the Sacramento area. Federal counts of the current surge say about 200 Ukrainian refugees arrived in California between October and June. But Florin Ciuriuc, executive director of the Slavic Community Center of Sacramento, said that as many as 10,000 refugees have come to the Sacramento area since the war began in late February and that the vast majority were Ukrainian.
The undercount extends statewide. County health officials and immigrant support networks put the total number of newly arrived Ukrainians in California at 20,000 or more — a 33% increase to the 60,000 Ukrainian immigrants already living in the state.
It’s a continuation of a long-standing pattern. Between 2002 and 2019, California resettled more refugees than any other state, about 108,000, according to the Pew Research Center. Many of them arrived from Iran, Iraq, Laos, and Ukraine. California is home to a Southeast Asian refugee community that numbers in the hundreds of thousands and dates to the end of the Vietnam War.
More recently, the state has welcomed an influx of Afghan refugees.
Because of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, many Afghan refugees could apply for special immigrant visas, which took time to process and gave states and counties advance notice of how many people might be coming their way and when, Desmond said.
Not so with Ukrainian refugees initially. Like Katie Nelha, many arrived in California via the U.S.-Mexico border before the Biden administration stopped allowing Ukrainians to enter there in April.
Some Ukrainians resettling in California have come through under humanitarian parole or temporary protected status — both of which qualify them for Medi-Cal. But most can claim a Medi-Cal status known as Permanently Residing Under Color of Law, or PRUCOL, to qualify for benefits. Because PRUCOL covers immigrants who have applied for a legal status but are still awaiting a response, there may be vast numbers of Ukrainians who are eligible for care — and therefore known to local health officials and immigrant networks — even though they’re not officially designated as refugees.
Desmond said Sacramento County supervisors are pushing the state to free up discretionary funding to address the refugee surge. The county recently set aside $3 million to provide support services to recently arrived Afghans and may take similar action for Ukrainians.
When Afghans began settling in Sacramento last fall, the county used state funding to hire shift interpreters, part-time workers to bridge language gaps. It contracts with a half-dozen translation services to fill those spots, but Mishra, the county medical director, said hiring full-time staff would be preferable.
Refugees often have pressing health needs.
New immigrants must take a tuberculosis test within 14 days of arriving in the U.S. And common health problems include elevated lead levels in children, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Health workers also screen people for region-specific issues — such as a bacteria found in Afghanistan that leads to gastritis, and thyroid disease, a potential consequence of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, among Ukrainians.
Mishra worries about invisible scars, too.
“Many of these people were experiencing PTSD,” she said. “They were coming out of very, very traumatic situations — in some cases seeing family members die. But it’s something that is not really discussed openly within their community. We often have to ask a lot of questions for that to reveal itself.”
Noel Sanchez, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Department of Public Health, said doctors screen carefully for signs of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Some of the county translators’ duties include guiding newcomers through the layered U.S. health care system. When Russian refugees Andrew Dozhdev, 25, and Kivil Spassky, 21, were asked in Sacramento in June whether they had seen a doctor since fleeing their country because of their opposition to the war, both shook their heads and hesitated.
“I hope I don’t need one,” Dozhdev finally replied.
With county agencies understaffed and overwhelmed, the task often falls to nonprofit and community or religious groups. Dmitriy Pridyuk, senior pastor at Revival Christian Center in Sacramento’s Foothill Farms area, said his church is housing about 35 immigrants on a short-term basis, providing them with a place to sleep and shower, food, and other assistance.
As for the care itself, county health officials said they are committed to serving refugees, although their staffing shortages are unlikely to be resolved soon.
“More and more families are just showing up at our doorstep,” Mishra said. “We made the decision that we were not going to turn them away even if we don’t have a clear read on their legal status.”

An Aussie mum has revealed how she transformed her kitchen herself using K-mart products for just $1000 - after being quoted $50,000 by professionals.
Nga Yeung, from Forest Hill, Victoria, changed her outdated drab kitchen into a glamorous modern room with grey countertops and white tiles by picking up tiles at her local store.
Posting to Kmart Hacks & Decor Facebook group, the mum-of-two shared snaps of her old kitchen, which included birch cupboard doors and white counter.
An Aussie mum has revealed how she transformed her kitchen herself using K-mart products for just $1000 - after being quoted $50,000 by professionals. Nga Yeung, from Forest Hill, Victoria, changed her outdated drab kitchen into a glamorous modern room with grey countertops and white tiles by picking up tiles at her local store. Left before, right after
But the new kitchen was much brighter with trendy patterned walls and a much more contemporary design.
'Got quoted 50k for a kitchen renovation so thought I had nothing to lose by diy-ing my own kitchen update,' she wrote in the group.
'Ended up costing me a little over 1k, but I think it was well worth the effort!
'Amazing what a lick of paint and Kmart herringbone stick on tiles can do!

Nga added that she had the help of her husband to complete the project, and they both took two weeks off work during the school holidays to do it. She also gave full breakdown of everything she bought, including sanding blocks, cover stain prime, cabinet paint in white satin, tile laminate, a Stanley knife, a ruler and Adhesive 3D Tiles. Left before, right after
'P.S the herringbone was a b**** to lay, not gonna lie'
She added that she had the help of her husband to complete the project, and they both took two weeks off work during the school holidays to do it.
'The 50k we were quoted was to rip out the old kitchen and knockdown the stove wall to the dining room then replace all cabinets, add a Island, stone top, tiles and basically a completely different layout,' she explained.
She also gave full breakdown of everything she bought, including sanding blocks, cover stain prime, cabinet paint in white satin, tile laminate, a Stanley knife, a ruler and Adhesive 3D Tiles.
Nga also explained that she hand rolled and hand brushed the paint on, in order to give a smooth finish.
She even cut around power points herself - but admitted there was 'a lot of measuring and mistakes'.
'My tip would be to remove the power caps, cut 3mm less, place it back on and trim any excess as you go to get a close fit' she wrote.
She also said she was 'happy' with tiles but said they were 'very sticky' and there's trouble with them being stuck on existing grout or silicone.
'The whole sheets stick fine over these areas, but the small triangles I had to use some super glue for extra adhesion and will be putting a silicone along the edges of benchtop and cabinets where the tiles meet to hopefully stop them from peeling off.'
Hundreds of people commented on the new kitchen, praising her for the amazing work.
'Looks amazing,' said one.
'What a Change! Looks great!' added another.
'That's beautiful,' added another.
'What an amazing transformation! Well done you' commented one person.
'Wow what a difference that looks brilliant!'
'You should be proud. Awesome saving. Job well done. 49,000 seems a lot,' she added.

The number one mission for a pass rusher? Bend the edge. That’s why there’s such a strong correlation between three-cone times and top pass rushers. Von Miller could run under a coffee table. Alex Highsmith will likely never get to that Gumby-level bend but he’s working on being more flexible to run under and past left tackles this season. Highsmith joined Sirius XM’s Movin’ the Chains with Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan to explain how he’s becoming bendier.
“One thing I’ve been able to do working at that to be able to help improve that is working on my hip flexibility,” he told the show. “So I’ve been doing a lot of hip stretches and stuff like that. Stretching my quad, stretching my hip so I can be able to really extend and get out. Because really pass rush starts with the get-off. If you don’t have a good get-off, an o-lineman’s gonna beat you to his spot and now he’s waiting on you.”
Coming out of Charlotte, Highsmith recorded a 7.32 three-cone during the 2020 NFL Combine, a below-average number. He wasn’t known as a bendy or overly athletic pass rusher and won most often with technique and a variety of pass rush moves. But his game has improved since making the jump to the NFL, improving his power last year. This season, he’s working on improving his bend to more effectively turn the corner.
Highsmith also discussed improving his get-off by changing his stride length.
“Just really working on my get off in the pass rush game, and I think that really starts with getting a great first step with stride length.”
Stride length isn’t something talked about often in a pass rush breakdown. Presumably, Highsmith is talking about increasing his stride length to help gain ground off the snap, improving his get-off and forcing tackles to open their hips to defend the edge. That will open up the rest of his pass rush arsenals, making his inside counters more effective. Highsmith’s favorite counter is his inside spin. Improving his edge/speed rushes will make that counter all the more potent.
Highsmith is attempting to be the perfect complement to TJ Watt. He won’t net 15+ sacks like Watt who is gunning for an outright hold of the single-season sack record but if all goes well, Highsmith could flirt with double-digits this season. He finished 2021 with six sacks but ended the year strongly, picking up four of them over his final four games. Had an early-season groin injury not slowed him down, he may have reached ten. Pittsburgh will need its pass rush to continue to be strong but its run defense must be the area that sees a significant jump after finishing 32nd league-wide last year. | https://steelersdepot.com/2022/07/improving-hip-flexibility-one-of-alex-highsmiths-offseason-goals/ | 2022-07-13T02:05:20Z | https://steelersdepot.com/2022/07/improving-hip-flexibility-one-of-alex-highsmiths-offseason-goals/ | false | 1 |
Missing 2-year-old’s body found in trash can; boy’s mother, her boyfriend arrested, police say
HOUMA, La. (WVUE/Gray News) - Authorities in Louisiana made a grim discovery Tuesday evening while searching for a missing 2-year-old boy.
Louisiana State Police issued an endangered and missing child alert for Ezekiel Harry Tuesday afternoon. Authorities said his mother told them that he was abducted while walking with his siblings.
WVUE reports the Houma Police Department located the boy’s body stuffed in a trash can about six hours after that initial alert.
Houma police detectives said they found information that led them to suspect foul play in the incident.
After the boy’s body was recovered, police said they arrested the boy’s mother Maya Jones, 28, and Jermaine Robinson, 37, described as her live-in boyfriend.
“Both suspects are facing charges relative to first-degree murder, obstruction of justice and other related charges,” Houma Police Department Chief Dana Coleman said in a statement. “Once the suspects are officially charged, additional information will be released.”
Police said the mother initially told them she was walking along the Bayou Terrebonne stream with her four children when someone in a gray truck snatched Ezekiel. But investigators said they quickly found that her account of what happened was inaccurate.

Police remove two Chinese defence attaches from Pacific Islands Forum meeting
Two Chinese defence attaches have been kicked out by Fijian police from a Pacific Islands Forum meeting at which the US vice-president, Kamala Harris, was giving a virtual address.
The men were sitting in on a session of the forum’s fisheries agency at which Harris announced the step-up of US engagement in the region, believed to be in response to China’s growing influence.
They were sitting with the media contingent, but one was identified as a Chinese embassy official by Lice Movono, a Fijian journalist who is covering the forum for the Guardian.

Movono said she “recognised him because I’ve interacted with him at least three times already”, including during the visit of the Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, to Suva last month, at which journalists were removed from events and blocked from asking questions.
“He was one of the people that was removing us from places and directing other people to remove us,” she said. “So I went over to him and asked: ‘are you here as a Chinese embassy official or for Xinhua [Chinese news agency], because this is the media space. And he shook his head as if to indicate that he didn’t speak English.”
Movono alerted Fijian protocol officers, who told her to inform Fijian police, who then escorted the two men from the room. They did not answer questions from media.
Diplomatic sources later confirmed that the men were a defence attache and a deputy defence attache from China, and part of the embassy in Fiji.
The incident comes after an intensification of Chinese involvement in the region in the last few months, which is simmering as an undercurrent to the year’s Pacific Islands Forum.
The uptick of tempo of China’s involvement has included China’s signing of a controversial and wide-ranging security pact with Solomon Islands and a marathon tour of the Pacific region by the Chinese foreign minister at which more than 50 agreements were believed to have been signed.
China is not a part of the Pacific Islands Forum, but like the US is a partner country. Partner nations are usually invited to attend a post-forum dialogue meeting, at which they can give presentations, but this year the partner dialogue will not be held during the week of the summit, in order to give Pacific countries some breathing room from the intense geopolitical pressure.
It was believed China would use the post-forum dialogue meeting to reintroduce a new version of the sweeping economic and security deal that it presented to 10 Pacific leaders last month, but which was rejected.
However, Harris was invited to attend the forum virtually, in what is seen as a huge coup for the US and a blow to China, which has been not afforded a similar honour.
The US has made a concerted effort to step up its engagement with the Pacific in light of Chinese interest, including by reopening its embassy in Solomon Islands, which was announced in February, plus a suite of measures announced by Harris on Wednesday.
These measures include two new embassies, the appointment of a special presidential envoy to the Pacific Islands Forum and tripling the amount of money requested from the US Congress for economic development and ocean resilience – up to $60m a year for 10 years – as well as a return of Peace Corps volunteers to Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and Vanuatu.

Fiji’s prime minister, Frank Bainimarama, acknowledged the US’s reengagement with the region, saying: “It is clear the US is certainly looking a lot more like the Pacific partner we have traditionally held it to be.”
In her virtual address to Pacific leaders on Wednesday morning, Harris acknowledged the diplomatic void that the US had left in recent years, saying: “We recognise that in recent years, the Pacific islands may not have received the diplomatic attention and support that you deserve. So today I am here to tell you directly: we are going to change that.”
She also appeared to take a swipe at China’s involvement in the Pacific, speaking of “bad actors” in the region.
“At a time when we see bad actors seeking to undermine the rules-based order, we must stand united,” Harris said. “In this region and around the world, the United States believes it is important to strengthen the international rules-based order – to defend it, to promote it and to build on it.
“These international rules and norms have brought peace and stability to the Pacific for more than 75 years – principles that importantly state that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected; principles that allow all states, big and small, to conduct their affairs free from aggression or coercion.” | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/two-chinese-defence-attaches-removed-011826534.html?src=rss | 2022-07-13T02:15:19Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/two-chinese-defence-attaches-removed-011826534.html?src=rss | false | 2 |

By LISA MASCARO and FARNOUSH AMIRI
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a heated, “unhinged” dispute, Donald Trump fought objections from his White House lawyers to a plan, eventually discarded, to seize states’ voting machines and then, in a last ditch effort to salvage his presidency, summoned supporters to march on the U.S. Capitol for what turned into the deadly riot, the House Jan. 6 committee revealed Tuesday.
In another disclosure, raising the question of witness tampering, the panel’s vice-chair said Trump himself had tried to contact a person who was talking to the committee about potential testimony. And still more new information revealed that Trump was so intent on making a showing at the Capitol that his aides secretly planned for a second rally stage there on the day of the attack.
Rep. Liz Cheney, the panel’s vice chair, said it had notified the Justice Department that Trump had contacted the witness who has yet to appear in public.
“We will take any effort to influence witness testimony very seriously,” said Cheney, a Wyoming Republican.
A Trump spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley declined to comment when asked if the department was investigating the call.
The hearing Tuesday was the seventh for the Jan. 6 committee, which is portraying the defeated Trump as “detached from reality,” clinging to false claims of voter fraud and working feverishly to reverse his election defeat. It all led to his “be there, will be wild” tweet summoning supporters to Washington.
The panel delved into a critical three weeks of secret planning in the run-up to the Capitol attack and heard remorseful testimony from an Ohio father who believed Trump’s election lies and answered the defeated president’s tweet to come to Washington. The panel also heard form a former spokesman for the extremist Oath Keepers who warned of the far-right group’s ability for violence.
“I think we need to quit mincing words about just talk. … What it was going to be was an armed revolution,” said Jason Van Tatenhove. “I mean, people died that day.”
Tuesday’s session focused in part on December 2020, a time when many Republicans were moving on from the November election Trump lost to Joe Biden. Testimony brought out details of a late night Dec. 18 meeting at the White House with Trump’s private lawyers suggesting he order the U.S. military to seize state voting machines in an unprecedented effort to pursue his false claims of voter fraud .
The panel featured new video testimony from Pat Cipollone, Trump’s White House counsel at the time, recalling the explosive meeting when Trump’s outside legal team brought a draft executive order to seize the states’ voting machines — a “terrible idea,” Cipollone said.
“That’s not how we do things in the United States,” he testified.
Another former White House aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, called the meeting “unhinged” in separate video testimony.
Cipollone and other White House officials scrambled to intervene as Trump met late into the night with attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, retired national security aide Michael Flynn and the former head of the online retail company Overstock. It erupted in shouting and screaming, another aide testified.
“Where is the evidence?” Cipollone demanded of the claims of voter fraud.
“What they were proposing, I thought, was nuts,” testified another official, Eric Herschmann.
But Trump was intrigued and essentially told his White House lawyers that at least Powell and outside allies were trying to do something.
As night turned to morning, Trump tweeted his call for supporters to come to Washington on Jan. 6, when Congress would be tallying the Electoral College results. “Be there. Will be wild,” Trump wrote.
Instantly, the extremists reacted.
The panel showed graphic and violent text messages and played videos of right-wing figures, including Alex Jones, and others vowing that Jan. 6 would be the day they would fight for the president.
Messages beaming across the far-right forums laid out plans for the big day that they said Trump was asking for in Washington. It would be a “red wedding,” said one, a reference to a mass killing in “Game of Thrones.” “Bring handcuffs.”
Several members of the U.S. Capitol Police who fought the mob that day sat stone-faced in the front row of the committee room.
Members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers groups are now facing rare sedition charges over the siege. Nine people died the day of the attack and in its aftermath.
“This tweet served as a call to action — and in some cases a call to arms,” said one panel member, Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla.
The committee revealed new details about what happened next, as planning was underway for Trump’s big rally on the Ellipse outside the White House, and aides scrambled to secretly set up a second stage outside the Capitol complex across the street from the Supreme Court.
In a Jan. 4 text message from rally organizer Kylie Kremer to Trump ally Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO, Kremer explains: “This stays only between us, we are having a second stage at the Supreme Court again after the Ellipse. POTUS is going to have us march there/the Capitol.”
Kremer warns that if the information gets out, others will try to sabotage the plans and the organizer “will be in trouble” with the National Park Service and other federal agencies.
”But POTUS is going to just call for it ‘unexpectedly,’” Kremer wrote.
On the morning of Jan. 5, Trump ally Ali Alexander sent a similar text to a conservative journalist saying: “Ellipse then US capitol. Trump is supposed to order us to capitol at the end of his speech but we will see.”
And the panel showed a draft tweet from Trump, which was obtained from the National Archives and never sent, calling on supporters to arrive early for the rally and expect crowds.
“March to the Capitol after. Stop the Steal!” the draft Trump tweet said.
Committee member Murphy said, “This was not a spontaneous call to action, but rather was a deliberate strategy.”
Tuesday’s was the only hearing this week, as new details emerge. An expected prime-time hearing has been rescheduled for July 21.
Cheney said the Trump team is shifting its strategy in dealings with the committee, and is now trying to shield the former president from blame, suggesting he received bad advice from “crazy” advisers or was otherwise “incapable” of understanding some of the details of the situation.
Trump is “not an impressionable child,” Cheney said. “Just like everyone else in our country he is responsible for his own actions.”
The panel also heard from a sorrowful Stephen Ayres, the Ohio father who said he got caught up in social media after the election, but has since lost his job and his house after joining the mob at the Capitol. He pleaded guilty last month to disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building.
When Trump summoned supporters to Washington, “I felt like I needed to be down here,” he testified.
Ayers hugged and apologized to the police officers after the hearing.
“The problem of politicians whipping up mob violence to destroy fair elections is the oldest domestic enemy of constitutional democracy,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md..

Judge: Subway can be sued over ‘100% tuna’ claims
Published: Jul. 12, 2022 at 10:24 PM EDT|Updated: 11 minutes ago
(CNN) - Have you ever bought a tuna sandwich from Subway?
The sandwich chain says it’s “100% tuna,” but some people think that claim is a little fishy.
Last year, two people filed a lawsuit in California saying Subway’s tuna partially or wholly lacks tuna as an ingredient and that it’s other types of fish.
Subway pushed back, saying the non-tuna DNA could have been from eggs in mayonnaise or the result of cross-contact with other ingredients.
On Tuesday, the judge in the case said it’s too soon to accept Subway’s argument and the lawsuit against the sandwich chain can move forward.

Singapore Stock Market May Run Out Of Steam On Wednesday
(RTTNews) - The Singapore stock market has climbed higher in three straight sessions, gathering almost 45 points or 1.4 percent along the way. The Straits Times Index now rests just above the 3,145-point plateau although investors figure to cash in on Wednesday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets suggests consolidation on renewed fears for the economy in the face of a Caovid-19 resurgence. The European markets were up and the U.S. bourses were down and the Asian markets are tipped to follow the latter lead.
The STI finished modestly higher on Tuesday as gains from the financials were limited by weakness from the property sector.
For the day, the index improved 14.51 points or 0.46 percent to finish at 3,145.77 after trading between 3,129.90 and 3,147.73. Volume was 994.5 million shares worth 893.2 million Singapore dollars. There were 281 decliners and 210 gainers.
Among the actives, Ascendas REIT tumbled 1.03 percent, while CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust lost 0.48 percent, CapitaLand Investment sank 0.52 percent, City Developments plummeted 3.30 percent, Comfort DelGro spiked 1.43 percent, DBS Group surged 2.33 percent, Genting Singapore slumped 0.52 percent, Hongkong Land tanked 1.20 percent, Keppel Corp slid 0.31 percent, Mapletree Commercial Trust advanced 0.56 percent, Mapletree Industrial Trust fell 0.38 percent, Mapletree Logistics Trust plunged 2.84 percent, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation collected 0.35 percent, SATS jumped 1.26 percent, SembCorp Industries climbed 1.04 percent, Singapore Exchange added 0.42 percent, Singapore Technologies Engineering eased 0.24 percent, SingTel retreated 0.75 percent, United Overseas Bank soared 1.44 percent, Wilmar International declined 0.97 percent, Yangzijiang Financial rallied 1.20 percent and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding, Thai Beverage and Frasers Logistics were unchanged.
The lead from Wall Street is negative as the major averages opened higher on Tuesday, but a late slide pushed them into the red at the close.
The Dow dropped 192.51 points or 0.62 percent to finish at 30,981.51, while the NASDAQ sank 107.87 points or 0.95 percent to end at 11,264.73 and the S&P 500 lost 35.63 points or 0.92 percent to close at 3,818.80.
The late-day weakness on Wall Street came as traders looked ahead to the Labor Department's report on consumer price inflation for June.
Concerns about the emergence of a new, more infectious Covid-19 strain in several parts of the world also continued to weigh.
Investors also seemed to be moving money out of stocks ahead of what some expect to be a difficult quarterly earnings season.
The price of crude oil plummeted on Tuesday on concerns about the outlook for global demand due to recession fears and a renewed spike in Covid-19 cases. West Texas Intermediate for August delivery shed $8.25 or 7.9 percent to $95.84 a barrel, closing below $100 a barrel for the first time in two months.

Sri Lankan president flees to Maldives hours before he was due to step down
The protests against the Sri Lankan government have simmered since May, but erupted afresh last Saturday when hundreds of thousands of people surged into Colombo and occupied key government buildings and residences. On Tuesday, immigration officials prevented another of the president's brothers, former finance minister Basil Rajapaksa, from flying out of the country.
Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled the country for the Maldives on Wednesday, sources told Reuters, hours before he was due to step down amid widespread protests over his handling of a devastating economic crisis. Rajapaksa, his wife and two bodyguards left aboard a Sri Lankan Air Force plane, an immigration official told Reuters.
A government source and a person close to Rajapaksa said he was in Male, the capital of the Maldives. The president would most likely proceed to another Asian country from there, the government source said. The immigration official said authorities could not under law prevent a sitting president from leaving the country.
Rajapaksa was due to step down as president on Wednesday to make way for a unity government, after thousands of protesters stormed his and the prime minister's official residences on Saturday demanding their ouster. The president has not been seen in public since Friday.
Sources close to Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena, the speaker of Sri Lanka's parliament, said he was yet to receive any communication from Rajapaksa. The source close to Rajapaksa said he would send in a letter of resignation later on Wednesday. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has also offered to resign. If he does, that would make the speaker the acting president until a new president is elected, as per the constitution.
Parliament will reconvene on Friday and will vote to elect a new president five days later, Abeywardena has previously said. The Rajapaksa family, including former prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, has dominated the politics of the country of 22 million for years and many Sri Lankans blame them for current problems.
The tourism-dependent economy was hammered badly by the COVID-19 pandemic and a fall in remittances from overseas Sri Lankans, while a ban on chemical fertilisers damaged farm output. The ban was later reversed. The Rajapaksas implemented populist tax cuts in 2019 that affected government finances while shrinking foreign reserves curtailed imports of fuel, food and medicines.
Petrol has been severely rationed and long lines have formed in front of shops selling cooking gas. Headline inflation hit 54.6% last month and the central bank has warned that it could rise to 70% in coming months. IN HIDING
Mahinda Rajapaksa, the president's brother, resigned as prime minister in May after protests against the family turned violent. He remained in hiding at a military base in the east of the country for some days before returning to Colombo. In May, the Rajapaksa government appointed Mohammed Nasheed, the speaker of the Maldives parliament and a former president, to help coordinate foreign assistance for crisis-hit Sri Lanka.
The same month, Nasheed publicly denied allegations that he was helping Mahinda Rajapaksa secure safe haven in the Maldives. The protests against the Sri Lankan government have simmered since May, but erupted afresh last Saturday when hundreds of thousands of people surged into Colombo and occupied key government buildings and residences.
On Tuesday, immigration officials prevented another of the president's brothers, former finance minister Basil Rajapaksa, from flying out of the country. It was not clear where Basil Rajapaksa, who also holds U.S. citizenship, was trying to go. He resigned as finance minister in early April amid heavy street protests against fuel and food shortages, and quit his seat in parliament in June.

‘Animals devoured themselves to avoid starvation,’ investigators alleging mistreatment at sanctuary say
MEXICO CITY ( Border Report ) — An animal sanctuary for big cats in Mexico, operated by a California charity, has been raided by Mexican officials who have removed 190 lions, tigers, jaguars and other animals found in “deplorable conditions.”
The Black Jaguar-White Tiger Foundation , with offices in Los Angeles, operates the sanctuary where the raid took place on July 4.
The sanctuary, which is located in a suburb on the outskirts of Mexico City, is run by a controversial figure named Eduardo Serio.
Celebrities such as the Kardashians, Paris Hilton and others have donated large sums of money to Serio to help care for rescued lions, tigers and other big cats.
But PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals , has been very critical of Serio in the past, calling his operation “just another sham sanctuary making a profit by exploiting animals.”
Serio is now under investigation and is being sought for the mistreatment of animals, according to Mexico’s Attorney General.
“Eduardo Serio, owner of Black Jaguar-White Tiger is wanted for the extreme abandonment and mistreatment of hundreds of large felines,” prosecutors say.
Mexico’s Association of Zoos, Breeders and Aquariums, AZCARM, put out a tweet denouncing Black Jaguar-White Tiger and its operator for the “extreme abandonment and mistreatment of hundreds of big felines that are in various states of extinction.”
Aside from the big cats, 17 primates and two coyotes were rescued during the raid, according to investigators.
Spider monkey wearing bulletproof vest found dead after shootout between police, gang membersIndependent Film Producer Arturo Allende , who has more than 3 million followers on Instagram, called the sanctuary “hell on earth for the animals.”
For the past two years, Allende has been working on a documentary about the Black Jaguar-White Tiger sanctuary.
“It’s a holocaust for the animals, it’s a crime,” he says.
Investigators report having plenty of photographic evidence taken by ex-workers on the site depicting “hundreds of big felines living in deplorable conditions without food, veterinary care or adequate space to move around.”

The streaking Los Angeles Dodgers will try to take the momentum from their 10-1 homestand on the road, starting Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
“This homestand is the best baseball we played (this year),” Los Angeles manager David Roberts said. “This is Dodger baseball.”
The Dodgers have won seven consecutive games and 11 of 12 overall. The injury-depleted Cardinals, meanwhile, won back-to-back games against the Phillies to split a four-game series. They had lost six of their previous seven games, including the first two vs. Philadelphia.
“This team is committed to finishing strong (before the All-Star break),” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. “It’s been a grind. Guys are tired. There’s no hiding that. They’re playing through it, but they’re committed to finishing strong, then resting up and having a strong second half.”
The Dodgers lead the National League in runs per game (5.0) and the majors in team ERA (2.96). They have outscored opponents by 151 runs this season, the second-best differential behind the New York Yankees’ plus-177.
“We’ve been playing good, especially these 20 games in a row that we just did,” Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “And the key was our pitching staff this whole time. They give us chances late in games, and for us to be able to get the big hits at the end of games. It was nice to be able to pick them up, because they picked us up the whole time.”
Los Angeles’ Tuesday starter, right-hander Mitch White (1-1, 3.38 ERA) has allowed just five runs (four earned) in 19 1/3 innings over his past four starts.
“It’s really good to see Mitch come into his own,” Roberts said.
In his most recent outing, White limited the Colorado Rockies to one run, which was unearned, and one hit in 5 2/3 innings on Wednesday in a game the Dodgers eventually won 2-1.
He is 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in two career appearances against the Cardinals, including one start.
With Steven Matz (shoulder) wrapping up his rehabilitation assignment, Cardinals rookie Matthew Liberatore (2-1, 4.74 ERA) with get his first opportunity to face the Dodgers.
Liberatore, a left-hander, has made six starts this season and the Cardinals have won five of them, thanks to strong run support and ample relief help.
On Thursday, he worked four scoreless innings at Atlanta as the Cardinals won 3-2 in 11 innings. Liberatore escaped the fourth inning unscathed after the Braves put runners on second and third with no outs.
“I’ve got two options,” Liberatore said. “I’m going to make the pitch anyway. I can either do it with the conviction and confidence and see what I want to happen happen before it happens, or I can hope for things to happen. I went out there and I said, ‘I’m going to throw it with confidence.’
“And if I get beat, I can lay my head on a pillow knowing that I threw what I wanted to throw.”
The Cardinals got left-handed reliever T.J. McFarland back on Monday from his bout with COVID-19 and subsequent rehabilitation assignment. Left-hander Zack Thompson was returned to Triple-A Memphis to make room on the roster.

Deloitte Launches Zero Trust Access, a New Managed Security Service
NEW YORK, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To help organizations adopt zero trust more quickly and efficiently, Deloitte is launching a new managed service – Zero Trust Access— that offers a cloud-native approach to securing communications between users, on any device, and enterprise applications, wherever they may reside.
The Zero Trust concept commits to removing implicit trust within an information technology (IT) ecosystem and replacing it with a risk-based approach to accessing organizational resources across identities, workloads, data, networks and devices. This trend is gaining momentum, given legacy approaches to security architecture are no longer suitable to secure the ubiquitous nature of the modern enterprise.
Part of the newly expanded Zero Trust by Deloitte, Zero Trust Access facilitates zero trust adoption and the evolving needs of organizations in protecting their applications, infrastructure, and data. Following the integration of recently acquired talent and technology into existing Deloitte services, the Zero Trust Access managed service connects users to applications through a frictionless cloud-native solution that is inherently scalable, resilient, agile, and secure. Further, the managed service is available standalone, integrated with other Deloitte offerings, or as part of a broader solution leveraging technologies from Deloitte's alliances ecosystem.
"As perimeter-based approaches are no longer suitable to secure the modern enterprise, many organizations are working to enhance protection for their IT ecosystems via zero trust," said Andrew Rafla, Deloitte Risk & Financial Advisory's zero trust offering leader and principal, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "Zero Trust Access was built as a turnkey managed service helping ourselves and our clients accelerate adoption of this transformative security framework. Our goal was to create a cost-effective solution that can be delivered standalone or complementary to a broader ecosystem and ultimately help decrease the burden on IT and security teams who likely need to manage multiple heterogenous solutions to achieve similar outcomes."
With innovative data protection leveraging device-level secure microcontainer technology, Zero Trust Access helps protect infrastructure while also enabling organizations to protect sensitive enterprise data and enforce least privilege through dynamic access control to enterprise assets. The managed service can replace remote access solutions inclusive of virtual private network (VPN), virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and desktop as a service (DaaS), all of which typically require significant capital expenditure for infrastructure, high operating costs, and technology management overhead.
Zero Trust Access includes features such as ephemeral connectivity built upon secure peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, conditional access and continuous authorization, as well as robust data protection for data at-rest, in-use, and in-transit are consistently applied to each session, regardless of the type or location of the applications being accessed (e.g., legacy hosted applications, software as a service (SaaS), thick-client, web-based applications). Implementation of Zero Trust Access can help organizations leverage outcome-based solutions that improve business agility, enhance user productivity, and reduce cost and complexity of security operations.
"Beginning zero trust adoption isn't simple, fast or easy for most organizations," Deborah Golden, Deloitte Risk & Financial AdvisoryCyber and Strategic Risk leader and principal, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "We're launching Zero Trust Access as the first in many adoption-enabling services and solutions to come, so that our clients are better able to modernize their security programs, enable agile operations and confidently advance with emerging technologies and transformative risk management principles that can build more resilient security practices."

NEW YORK (AP)The Florida State League will limit defensive shifts by drawing chalk lines in a pie shape from second base to the outfield grass starting July 22, prohibiting infielders from the marked area pre-pitch in an experiment that could increase offense.
Major League Baseball has been testing shift limits all season at Double-A and Class A, requiring teams to have four players on the infield, including two on each side of second base.
The experiment in the Class A FSL was first reported by The Athletic and confirmed by MLB on Tuesday.
A competition committee comprised of six management officials, four union representatives and one umpire was established in the new collective bargaining agreement, and it has the right to make on-field rules changes with 45 days’ notice.
MLB is likely to institute a pitch clock next season. It has been experimenting this season with a 14-second pitch clock with no runners and a 19-second pitch clock with runners at Triple-A, with the clock at 18 seconds with no runners at lower levels.
Minor league bases have been increased to 18 inches square from 15.
”We’ve said for years that the minor leagues provide us with a really important opportunity to experiment, learn and make sure we understand how something’s going to work if we deploy it on the field,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said last month.

A lawyer for disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh says investigators have indicated they intend to pursue murder charges against him for the deaths of his wife and son, who were fatally shot outside their home more than a year ago.
Lawyer Jim Griffin said in a statement on Tuesday that the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division told Murdaugh family members they plan to seek indictments from a grand jury later this week. Murdaugh's 52-year-old wife Maggie and 22-year-old son Paul were killed after being shot outside their home on June 7, 2021. Murdaugh is already jailed and facing dozens of other criminal charges.
“We won’t have any comment until charges are actually brought against Alex,” Griffin said.
The deaths led to at least six investigations into Murdaugh and his finances, resulting in charges being levied accusing him of stealing $8.5 million from people who hired him. Some of the charges accuse him of lying to police in saying he was shot by a stranger on a roadside when, officials say, he really asked a friend to kill him so his surviving son could collect a $10 million life insurance policy. | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/lawyer-says-officials-set-to-pursue-murder-charges-for-alex-murdaugh | 2022-07-13T02:53:07Z | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/lawyer-says-officials-set-to-pursue-murder-charges-for-alex-murdaugh | true | 10 |

MEMPHIS, Tenn.– A woman in Tipton County is facing charges in connection with the death of a 4-year-old child.
52-year-old Tammy Wilkerson from Drummonds, Tennessee, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse after a 17-month investigation, according to the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the sheriff’s office, on February 1, 2021, deputies found a 4-year-old child that had a head injury and was unconscious in the 300 block of Milton Road.
During the investigation, it was determined that Wilkerson was the child’s caregiver. Detectives noted inconsistencies in how she said the injuries occurred compared to the evidence on the scene.
“This case is far from being over for the family and our thoughts and prayers continue to be with them. This is the first step in helping to bring some form of closure to the family. Tammy Wilkerson is where she needs to be and I am glad she will finally answer for what she has done,” said Sheriff Shannon Beasley.
The Tipton County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information about this case to call the Criminal Investigations Division at 901-475-3300, Central Dispatch after hours at 901-475-4300, phone in tips at 901-475-3007 or email tips to Sheriff@tiptonco.com. | https://wreg.com/news/local/tipton-county-woman-charged-in-4-year-olds-death/ | 2022-07-13T02:59:04Z | https://wreg.com/news/local/tipton-county-woman-charged-in-4-year-olds-death/ | false | 1 |

Queen and Adam Lambert performed an impromptu cover of operatic track ‘Nessun Dorma’ during a show in Bologna, Italy over the weekend.
‘Nessun Dorma’ is the aria from the last act of Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot and reached new audiences in 1990 when Luciana Pavarotti performed it during the World Cup, which was held in Italy that year.
Over the weekend though, Queen and Adam Lambert performed an impromptu version of the song following an airing of Queen classic ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’.
Sharing footage on Instagram after the show, Brian May wrote: “A spontaneous gift to Bologna last night. So proud of Adam. I can see our dear departed friend Luciano smiling. Let’s Rock tonight”
The cover was also played the following night during the band’s second show at the Unipol Arena.
Yesterday (July 11) May took to Instagram to discuss touring post-pandemic.
“The emotions I feel are quite confusing. Because of COVID protocols, I end up being very isolated from the kind of human contact that we all yearn for. But it means that the concerts themselves are the moments where the most intense contact happens through the music.”
“I love to see people’s faces when we are in mid flight, playing our hearts out. To see faces and make eye contact, to see hands waving, hear screams of joy, is like nothing else on Earth. It’s a little less inspiring to be looking phone cameras, but I can understand,” he added. “The greatest joy for us is to feel your participation and passion.”
Last month, Queen’s Roger Taylor and Brian May confirmed that they have unearthed an unreleased song by the band featuring late frontman Freddie Mercury.
The track, recorded during the Miracle Sessions, is going to be released this September.
Queen and Adam Lambert have also announced a new online concert film called Rhapsody Over London. The performance was shot at one of the legendary band’s 10 sold-out shows at The O2 Arena in London last month as part of their 2022 ‘Rhapsody Tour’.
Fans will be able to watch the two-and-half-hour, 28-song gig via an online Kiswe live-stream on July 24 (4pm BST) and July 25 (8pm BST). The film will then be available to view on-demand until July 31. | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/watch-queen-and-adam-lambert-cover-operatic-track-nessun-dorma-3267827 | 2022-07-13T03:05:17Z | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/watch-queen-and-adam-lambert-cover-operatic-track-nessun-dorma-3267827 | false | 3 |
New reports on former WWE star Virgil's declining health have come to the fore.
The former star, who rose to fame as the bodyguard of WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase, recently revealed that he is battling stage two colon cancer and dementia. As bad as this news sounds, there is even more the veteran is suffering from.
Slam Wrestling recently reported from Virgil's roommate, Shawn Raneri, that the former Million Dollar Champion also suffered two minor strokes and does not have much use of his arms any longer. Raneri also stated that the veteran spends most of his time at home watching television.
The report also stated that Ted DiBiase, one of the former star's closest friends and colleagues, is hardly ever in touch with the former Million Dollar Champion.
"Unfortunately, DiBiase, nor any of the others Virgil speaks exceedingly highly of – including Tito Santana and Rick Martel – check in on their friend. The years of Walter Mitty-esque lies have clearly taken their toll on many of the wrestlers who knew Virgil. Raneri says Jones was a talented defensive back for Division 2 college, Virginia Union, and he hears from those teammates more often than the wrestlers," the report stated. [H/T Slam Wrestling]
Virgil would find some success in WWE and WCW after the split from Ted DiBiase
One of the biggest storylines of 1991 was when the former WWE star grew tired of being treated poorly by Ted DiBiase. The henchman finally had enough and hit DiBiase with his own Million Dollar Championship at the 1991 Royal Rumble. He spent the rest of the year feuding with the Hall of Famer.
The former Million Dollar Champion would have various feuds as a singles superstar up until he left WWE in 1995 to join WCW a year later.
His biggest move since the Ted DiBiase feud came within WCW when, as Vincent, he joined the nWo. The former WWE star remained with the company up until 2000.
The former Million Dollar Champion reprised his role as a bodyguard for one final time on the May 17, 2010, episode of RAW when he came out with Ted DiBiase Jr. He also appeared in All Elite Wrestling as an associate of Chris Jericho.
From everyone at Sportskeeda, we would like to wish Virgil a healthy recovery.

He was in his mid-20s and she was 14 when it happened; each of them Colombian who arrived in New Zealand in search of better lives.
He was ex-military, Ecuador-born and Colombian-raised while she was the young daughter of a Colombian family finding their way in small-town provincial New Zealand.
They met and mingled in the comfort of their socio-cultural group in their new home of Nelson.
He was already in a relationship when the messaging started, and soon the opportunity presented itself – a get-together with friends at the teenager's mother's house which led to a sexual encounter, and the fallout that followed.

Advertise with NZME.Alejandro Benitez Correa is now serving a nine-month sentence of home detention after finally admitting a charge of unlawful sexual connection with a young person.
The admission came years after the event in 2018, which Benitez Correa said happened by consent.
He sought a discharge without conviction while the Crown argued a penalty that matched the "moderately serious" offending was warranted, especially as the victim impact statements from the teen and her mother told a different story to the defendant.
Benitez Correa had "turned a blind eye" to the situation for his own sexual gratification, Crown prosecutor Sophie O'Donaghue said.
"He was an adult and it was clear she was a 14-year-old child."
Defence lawyer Tony Bamford said the defendant's failure to inquire about her age was the crux of the criminality; he had a reasonable belief she was over 16, it was consensual and there was no grooming.
In the end it came down to the fact the victim was underage, and the fallout experienced once the pair had been discovered.
During a lengthy sentencing in the Nelson District Court, Benitez Correa learned through his interpreter the clean slate he had hoped for was not to be.

Advertise with NZME.Judge Jo Rielly spelled out in detail her reasons for declining the application for a discharge without conviction.
She said Benitez Correa had only pleaded guilty, sparing the victim a trial, "extremely late" in the justice process and only once other charges associated with the offending had been withdrawn.
In reaching her conclusion she said it was moderately serious offending and she did not consider the consequences of a conviction were out of proportion to the gravity of the offence.
It was also speculation that a conviction would harm his chances of career advancement, especially with the defence force.
The facts were that the victim was 14 at the time; she and the defendant were each from Colombia, and were part of a group that got together out of a shared commonality.
Rielly said while Benitez Correa made an assumption about the victim's age based on her behaviour, he told police he was not aware of the age of consent in New Zealand.

Advertise with NZME.He eventually pleaded guilty to the charge based on the fact he had not taken sufficient steps to ascertain her age before having a sexual relationship with her.
"I have received victim impact statements from the victim and her mother who have described the effects," the judge said.
"There is a lot of force in the Crown argument that there has been an effect on the victim physically and emotionally because of what occurred."
Rielly said some of the upset for the victim related to circumstances that unfolded after the sexual encounter, including harmful discussion on social media.
As a result of the offence and the fallout, the victim and her family had since left town.
Rielly said what was most relevant was that young people were vulnerable – especially emotionally vulnerable in respect of sexual encounters, particularly at a young age.

Advertise with NZME."Sometimes this is not realised until they are older. That is why our law provides the age of consent it does – to protect young people."
In considering Benitez Correa's personal circumstances, Rielly noted he was a hard worker who supported his mother and brothers, plus a daughter back in Colombia whom he had left behind when he sought asylum, through no fault of his own.
He also had a loving, supportive partner and was said to have regretted his actions, but Rielly said that seemed to have come about because of the situation he found himself in.
"While it's a great shame you had to come to another country in the circumstances you did, I do not accept that at the time you were immature.
"You were in a relationship with another woman who is still your partner. You were a father and your adult experiences were more worldly than most New Zealanders at the same age.
"I cannot ignore this was moderately serious. There was a significant age disparity between you and the victim and the impact has been significant, and that cannot be ignored."

Advertise with NZME.Rielly said community detention might have been an option but it was not enough to denounce the seriousness of what had occurred.
Benitez Correa was handed home detention and he was not to have contact with any girl under the age of 16, except with permission.
Benitez Correa was also given a strike warning, which meant he was now subject to the Three Strikes Law, but he avoided being placed on the child sex offender list. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/home-detention-for-new-arrival-who-turned-a-blind-eye-to-age-of-consent/DWRJFDMUEYVAMDJ5KLO2O4PR2M/ | 2022-07-13T03:25:08Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/home-detention-for-new-arrival-who-turned-a-blind-eye-to-age-of-consent/DWRJFDMUEYVAMDJ5KLO2O4PR2M/ | false | 3 |
Lake Charles firefighters address city council with concerns
Lake Charles, LA (KPLC) - Lake Charles firefighters took to city council, addressing their concerns and hoping for solutions.
“We are here tonight to speak to city council and the public about some of the deficiencies that have been going on with our department for some time now,” Jared Chandler said.
Jared Chandler with the local 561 Lake Charles Fire Fighters Association said better pay and benefits is causing them to lose valuable workers.
“We actually have guys that are quitting almost daily at this point, in pursuit of working elsewhere, and not to go to another job elsewhere, but another fire department,” Chandler said.
He said the shortage leads to burn out. When trying to help the situation by allowing men time off, he said they are left with even fewer hands.
“We have trucks that now only have two guys on it, instead of the normal three,” Chandler said. “Safety dictates that four men be on the truck, and we have not met that minimum in years.”
Chandler said their facilities are in need of work that dates back prior to the storms.
“Whether they are outdated, things are falling apart, and now hurricane damage on top of that,” Chandler said. “We also have stations that have been needing to be built for some time now. We have areas that aren’t covered by a fire station yet.”
Mayor Nic Hunter said some of these issues are being addressed by the city’s new fire chief.
He said firefighters had an increase in pay of at least 8% since he took office. More recently, the council approved a 3% increase taking effect in the coming months, with an increase of 7% over the next few years.
“For those that have longevity, which is many in the fire department, that number gets closer to about 30%,” Hunter said.
Hunter also said officials are trying to take steps without overloading the city’s financial system.
“Working with the union, working with the fire department is something we absolutely are committed to do,” Hunter said. “Again, I thank those men for their hard work. They have a very hard job.”

While most of the Prime Day tablet deals spotlight has been on Amazon's own dirt-cheap tablets, there are savings to be had on iPads for those looking for a more premium handheld device.
Apple's current (9th Gen) iPad is 10% off on Amazon (opens in new tab) right now. The 64GB model is $299 (opens in new tab), while the 256GB version is $429 (opens in new tab) (the cheapest it's ever been). These Prime Day prices undercut those at Apple, Best Buy and Walmart.
It won't be the biggest discount you've seen this Prime Day, nor will it likely be the cheapest tablet you've seen. And yet this is as good a time as any to invest in the standard iPad if you want one, because a) they're very rarely discounted by more, and b) if you've decided an iPad is for you, there isn't a better alternative at its level. After all, saving $30 or $50 depending on the storage option you go for is a lot better than not saving it at all in a few weeks' time.
Is the 2021 iPad worth it at $299 or $429? You bet it is. That's why this iPad is one of the best-selling electronic products of Prime Day 2022 so far, so we'd advise getting in there quickly if your sights are set before price or stock status changes.
We at What Hi-Fi? love this iPad for its benchmark combination of superb picture quality, great audio, excellent front camera and seamless usability.
iPads are known for their sleek, elegant design and excellent build quality too of course, and the iPad (2021) does not disappoint in this regard. It's a beautiful, well-built device that feels premium even without breaking the bank.
The iPad (2021) has a 10.2-inch display, a 2160 x 1620 resolution, and True Tone support which work together to offer up a fantastic image, though this lower-cost tablet does lack some of the more fancy visual tech more expensive iPads have.
When paired with headphones, the ninth-gen iPad sounds great, too, a clear improvement over its predecessor thanks to Apple's trademark audio clarity. The speakers on the iPad (2021) don't have much stereo separation, but even during busy scenes in movies, dialogue comes through and sounds consistent.
Newer, more premium iPads might have beefy internals and more expensive displays, but most people won't need best-in-class hardware. With a beautiful screen, smooth UX, and good sound quality alongside solid cameras and enough power to run any app you download, the iPad (2021) is a great deal from $299.
We gave the iPad (2021) five stars in our What Hi-Fi? review, so if you're in the market for a standard iPad model, consider saving $30 or $50 on this one before you no longer can't.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council said Tuesday that more needs to be done to counter disinformation and misinformation about the U.N.’s 12 peacekeeping operations, which have faced growing attacks especially on social media.
A Brazilian-drafted presidential statement approved by all 15 council members said the U.N. must “improve the culture of strategic communications across civilian, military and police components” of peacekeeping missions in order to protect civilians — a key mandate for the U.N.’s 90,000 peacekeepers in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Europe.
The council noted “with great concern the increasing amount of disinformation and misinformation directed against United Nations peacekeeping operations, which may negatively impact missions and peacekeepers.”
Brazilian Foreign Minister Carlos França, whose country holds the council presidency this month and chaired Tuesday's meeting, said that “strategic communications are essential for a successful peacekeeping operation.”
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the council that the world in which peacekeepers operate “is more hazardous today than any time in recent memory,” with geopolitical tensions reverberating locally and conflicts “more complex and multi-layered.”
“Peacekeepers are facing terrorists, criminals, armed groups and their allies — many with access to powerful modern weapons, and many with a vested interest in perpetuating the chaos in which they thrive,” the U.N. chief said.
But, he added, “The weapons they wield are not just guns and explosives. Misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech are increasingly being used as a weapon of war.”
Guterres said a recent survey found that nearly half of all U.N. peacekeepers feel misinformation and disinformation severely affect their work and threaten their safety and security.
As an example of false information spreading “like wildfire,” Guterres said a fake letter alleging that U.N. peacekeepers in Mali were collaborating with armed groups “went viral on WhatsApp and was picked up by national media.” It stirred up hostility and resentment against peacekeepers and made their efforts to protect civilians even harder, he said.
Lt. Gen. Marcos Da Costa, commander of the peacekeeping force in Congo, told the council that it operates in a country where successive surveys find “an overall poor perception” among the population about the mission’s relevance in improving their security.
“Anti-mission sentiment prevails in certain parts of the country that even prevent some of our deployments,” he said. “Unfair speeches by several actors against the mission put in risk the safety of our peacekeepers. The extensive use of social media by armed groups and other spoilers undermines the confidence in the U.N.”
He said these armed militias “use regular information warfare techniques” and their fake news diffusing through messaging and social media is difficult to distinguish from reality.
“These emerging technologies are driving a fundamental change to the character of the war, and peace operations are already being affected,” Da Costa said.
Guterres said the U.N. is moving to improve communications in peacekeeping operations between uniformed and civilian personnel, seek military and police officers skilled in communicating, and work with tech and media companies and member states to collect and share best practices. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/UN-stresses-key-communications-role-to-combat-17301215.php | 2022-07-13T03:39:42Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/UN-stresses-key-communications-role-to-combat-17301215.php | true | 14 |

The Chicago Bears have traded a 2024 seventh-round pick in exchange for New England Patriots wide receiver N’Keal Harry, according to a Tuesday evening tweet from NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
The former 2019 first-round pick played a total of 33 games for New England, including 12 last year. He grabbed 12 receptions for 184 yards last year as a Patriot, tacking on four starts in a receiver core featuring Jakobi Meyers, a five-year veteran in Kendrick Bourne and a 2015 first-round pick in Nelson Agholor.
Though the 6-foot-4-inch receiver initially requested a trade from New England last July through his agent, Jamal Tooson, Harry’s snaps were limited as the season went by without a single trade offer. Harry finished with a catch percentage of 54.5% in the nearly 30% of offensive snaps he played for the Patriots last season, snapping up 12 of his 22 total targets, none for a touchdown. Harry’s fifth-year option was declined earlier this year, denying him the opportunity to make $12.4 million in 2023.
“N’Keal understands a key ingredient to production is opportunity,” Tooson said in a late-July statement. “He will continue to work hard to develop and refine his craft after missing a large portion of his rookie year to injury. His draft-day expectations for his NFL career have not changed. We are confident success is just around the corner for him and will aggressively pursue it.”
Harry joined 10 other first-round picks from the 2019 draft in having their fifth-year options declined, including three top-10 picks in Raiders defensive end Clelin Ferrell, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and Steelers linebacker Devin Bush.
Chicago continues to add size and youth to their rebuilding group of wide receivers. Headed by 24-year-old Darnell Mooney and 28-year-old Byron Pringle, the average age of Chicago’s receivers now stands at just over 25 years old, putting them almost a full year behind the average league age of 26. The Bears do not have a receiver older than 28.
Chicago will have the opportunity to showcase their new receiver core, as well as an entirely rebuilt offense around second-year quarterback Justin Fields, when they face the San Fransisco 49ers on Sept. 11 at noon CDT in Soldier Field. The game will be broadcasted on FOX. | http://www.backsportspage.com/chicago_bears_trade_for_patriots_wr/ | 2022-07-13T03:48:14Z | http://www.backsportspage.com/chicago_bears_trade_for_patriots_wr/ | true | 1 |
Syracuse, N.Y. ― Buddy Boeheim finally had the breakout shooting performance that Syracuse fans had been waiting for.
Buddy Boeheim, who had struggled offensively in his first two NBA summer league games, scored a team-high 18 points for the Detroit Pistons against the Indiana Pacers at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
Boeheim drained three of his five shots from 3-point range and went 6-for-8 from the field overall in Tuesday’s game. He also made all three of his free throw attempts.
Boeheim’s 18-point performance wasn’t enough to overcome the absences of several of Detroit’s top players in the 101-87 loss to the Pacers. Jaden Ivey, the No. 5 pick in this year’s NBA draft, sat out Tuesday’s game after turning his left ankle against Washington on Saturday.
Detroit’s Isaiah Livers, Saben Lee and Isaiah Stewart also did not play for Detroit.
Buddy Boeheim, who signed a two-way deal with the Pistons for the 2022-23 season, had scored just three points in Detroit’s first two games in Vegas. He was 1-for-3 from 3-point range in those two games.
On Tuesday, though, Boeheim took advantage of the extra court time and took advantage of his shooting openings. He also finished with one rebound and one assist in 26 minutes.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Boeheim saw his first action of the summer league for Detroit. The 6-foot-9 forward played 11 minutes off the bench on Tuesday, scoring four points, grabbing two rebounds and picking off two steals. Boeheim, who signed a summer league deal with the Pistons, went 2-for-4 from the field.
Detroit’s next game is on Thursday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on TSN.
Meanwhile, another former Syracuse player, Cole Swider, will be back in action with the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. The Lakers will face the New Orleans Pelicans at 11 p.m. on NBA TV. Swider, who is signed to a two-way deal, has averaged 13.2 points through five games in summer league action with the Lakers.
The NBA summer league’s playoffs begin on Saturday.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand’s central bank raised its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points for a third consecutive meeting Wednesday, as it tries to dampen decades-high inflation, and vowed further increases.
The rate decision lifts the cash rate to 2.5% and is the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s sixth increase since October when it raised the benchmark rate from a record-low 0.25%.
Central banks around the world, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have become increasingly aggressive in their efforts to quell the inflation surge that was brought on by stimulus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. South Korea’s central bank on Wednesday raised its benchmark rate by 50 basis points — its first-ever increase of that magnitude.
“Employment remains above its maximum sustainable level and the Reserve Bank’s core inflation measures are around 4 percent,” the RBNZ said in a statement.
The bank’s monetary policy committee “acknowledged there is a near-term upside risk to consumer price inflation and emerging medium-term downside risks to economic activity,” according to the statement.
The RBNZ said it remains “resolute” in its commitment to returning inflation to within a 1.0%-3.0% target range and would “continue to tighten monetary conditions at pace.”
New Zealand’s inflation rate reached a three-decade high of 6.9% in the first quarter, fueled by fiscal and monetary stimulus and global shipping disruptions.
The RBNZ’s projections from its monetary policy statement in May indicated that the cash rate could peak at about 4.0% by mid-2023. The central bank said those projections are still broadly consistent with achieving its policy goals.
The RBNZ will release new projections for the cash rate and economic indicators at its next policy statement in mid-August. Its decision Wednesday was a policy review, for which it provided only a short statement. | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/rbnz-raises-cash-rate-by-half-percentage-point-for-third-straight-meeting-271657678733?rss=1&siteid=rss | 2022-07-13T04:10:04Z | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/rbnz-raises-cash-rate-by-half-percentage-point-for-third-straight-meeting-271657678733?rss=1&siteid=rss | false | 2 |
TEL AVIV, Israel, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SoniVie, an Israeli company developing a novel proprietary Therapeutic Intra-Vascular Ultrasound (TIVUS™) System to treat a variety of hypertensive disorders, announced that on May 30th 2022 the first patient was treated with its Renal Artery Denervation TIVUS™ technology, as part of the recently FDA IDE-approved Pilot study to treat Hypertension (the REDUCED1 study).
The procedure was successfully performed with TIVUS™ at the Kaplan Medical Center by Professor Michael Jonas, Principal Investigator of the REDUCED1 study, who commented: "We were able to use the TIVUS catheter to rapidly and efficiently perform UltraSound based renal denervation in our patient suffering from uncontrolled HTN. TIVUS's catheter excellent ease of use and its ability to denervate at significant depth of the perivascular space allowed for a short, simple and straightforward procedure. We will closely follow our patient and look forward to continuing enrolment in this exciting trial."
Renal Denervation with TIVUS™ is a minimally invasive procedure that uses high-frequency non-focused Ultra-Sound energy to ablate nerves in the renal artery. This causes a reduction in the nerve activity, which may decrease blood pressure. This procedure is designed for patients who suffer from resistant hypertension.
Resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure higher than 140/90 mmHg despite use of three antihypertensive medications of different classes at the best tolerated doses, one of which must be a diuretic.
"Millions of people world-wide suffer from resistant hypertension which substantially increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. We are genuinely happy for this important step forward. There is a lack of effective therapeutic solutions for these patients" says Christian Spaulding, CMO, SoniVie LTD.
"This procedure represents a great fulfilment for SoniVie team, whose expertise and achievements have been focusing on developing TIVUS™ technology for the Renal Denervation indication, both providing a promising treatment to the hypertensive patient and a high performing, easy to use device to the physician", says Tomaso Zambelli, CEO, SoniVie LTD.
About SoniVie
SoniVie is a medical device company developing the TIVUS™ Ultrasonic Denervation System, the only platform denervation technology with active development programs in three therapeutic areas: pulmonary artery denervation for pulmonary hypertension, renal artery denervation for resistant hypertension, and total lung denervation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with chronic bronchitis. These diseases affect millions of patients in the United States and Europe.
The company's offices are located in Rosh Haayin, Israel and in Newark, NJ, USA

County council agrees to probe flooding, development issues in Deerfield community
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - Members of the Deerfield community say they’re standing up to “overdevelopment.”
Residents say they’re worried about plans for additonal development in the area.
“We have been held hostage by individual owners of the different roads,” said Denise Brown Lynch, who lives in Deerfield. “We do not have any control of the maintenance.”
With the high volume of vehicles, including construction trucks, the private roads are subject to extra wear and tear.
Some in the community are worried about future and existing development plans in the area.
“We are being forced to have safety issues,” said Lynch. “The roads have holes, they’re not up to county standards.”
The roads in question are considered privately owned and maintenance is not the financial responsibility of the county.
“I’ve seen a lot of changes,” Lynch said at the Horry County Council meeting Tuesday night. “Some of them have been good, some of them have not. I think we need to be more investigative of any of these changes because of the flooding.”
Bill Duggan, a long-time resident of Deerfield said he can prove the deterioration has escalated.
”I am going to make a proposal to the council that they engage a company called ‘Planet’” said Duggan. “They have been taking photos of the entire earth every day for the last five years with 200 cell phone-sized cameras. I’m going to show them a clip of Deerfield every June first, from 2018 to the present, so they can see what their plans have done to this area.”
Councilman Bill Howard’s solution to the residents’ concerns was simple.
“We’re understaffed, we’re underpaid and the only way we’re going to correct that is we have to raise property taxes and make it where we can run a business and give you the services that you demand and require,” Howard said.
Duggan said the development plan has always been about the economics, bringing more people in, more houses.
“Okay, but where’s the infrastructure?” Duggan asked.
By the end of the meeting, the council agreed to take a look at flooding concerns within Deerfield and other areas of the county.
There is no timetable on when that will happen.

Plum, Wilson lead Las Vegas to 107-101 win over New York
By DOUG FEINBERG
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Kelsey Plum scored 27 points and A’ja Wilson added 23 to help the Las Vegas Aces beat the New York Liberty 107-101. Wilson also had 14 rebounds for the Aces. The two teams played last week before the All-Star break and combined for the highest scoring regulation game in WNBA history with New York winning 116-107. This game nearly matched it. Sabrina Ionescu finished with 27 points and Howard added 20 for New York, which was 15 for 31 from behind the arc. | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/07/12/plum-wilson-lead-las-vegas-to-107-101-win-over-new-york/ | 2022-07-13T04:26:12Z | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/07/12/plum-wilson-lead-las-vegas-to-107-101-win-over-new-york/ | true | null |

NEW YORK (AP) — Jonathan India drove in two runs with a go-ahead, bases-loaded single with two outs in the ninth inning and the Cincinnati Reds completed an unlikely comeback, rallying past the New York Yankees 4-3 Tuesday night.
The Yankees were 49-0 when leading after eight innings and the Reds were 0-48 when trailing after eight before New York closer Clay Holmes (4-1) failed to retire any of the five hitters he faced. Holmes loaded the bases by plunking Tyler Stephenson and allowed an RBI single to Tyler Naquin and heard boos after hitting Kyle Farmer with a pitch.
Wandy Peralta got two outs and was one strike away when India lined a single into center field to score Farmer and Donovan Solano.
Aaron Judge struck out as a pinch-hitter in the ninth against Alexis Diaz, brother of Mets closer Edwin Diaz. The Reds reliever got a double play from Gleyber Torres to finish his third career save.
Reiver Sanmartin (2-4) pitched a scoreless eighth to put the Reds in position for the comeback.
Before pulling off their fifth straight win, the Reds did little against Gerrit Cole, who allowed four hits and struck out 11 in seven innings.
The Yankees have lost three straight for the second time this year after blowing a pair of leads in their four-game series at Boston.
Following a nearly 60-minute delay where it never rained and the tarp never covered the field, Cole became the ninth active pitcher to reach 1,800 strikeouts when he whiffed Tommy Pham to end the third with two on.
Cole ended his night by getting strikeouts during lengthy at-bats to Farmer and Mike Moustakas. Cole fanned Farmer on a 98.8 mph, full-count fastball that the shortstop thought was ball four and reached 100.5 mph when he struck out Moustakas.
It was Cole’s 52nd career double-digit strikeout game and fifth this year. His 113 pitches were one shy of his season-high set in the first game of a doubleheader May 8 against Texas.
Michael King tossed a scoreless eighth before Holmes blew his third save opportunity.
Anthony Rizzo hit a two-run single in the first and Josh Donaldson added an RBI single in the third as the Yankees went ahead early against Cincinnati rookie Graham Ashcraft. Torres doubled twice, had three hits, reached four times, and scored twice.
The Yankees lost Aaron Hicks to right shin contusion, although X-rays were negative. Hicks fouled a ball off his lower right leg in the third and was helped off the field by a trainer.
Ashcraft allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings.
VOTTO’S RETURN
Votto returned after missing seven straight games due to lower back tightness and was 1 for 4. He grounded out in his first at-bat, struck out in the fourth, popped up in the sixth before ending a 0-for-17 skid with a single in the ninth.
Before the game, Votto tweeted a picture of the Seinfeld clip where Jason Alexander’s character George Costanza gave former Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams batting advice.
BUILDING HOPE
The Yankees are holding their 13th annual HOPE Week, an event when every player participates in events honoring people and groups who serve their communities. Blue Chips, a NYPD co-ed youth mentoring and sports program, was honored Tuesday, and Nestor Cortes was among the players to visit the organization at the NYPD Police Academy in College Point, Queens, a few miles northeast of Citi Field.
On Monday’s day off, 16-year-old Landis Sims, who was born without hands and lower legs, was honored. Sims took batting practice along with other baseball players from the Challenge Athletes Foundation and threw out the ceremonial first pitch. The Yankees are 40-15 during HOPE Week, which began in 2009.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Reds: RHP Tyler Mahle (strained right shoulder) threw in Cincinnati. Manager David Bell said Mahle is on target to start one of the first three games following the All-Star Break. ... OF Albert Almora Jr. was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason. ... OF Stuart Fairchild was recalled from Triple-A Louisville.
Yankees: RHP Jonathan Loáisiga (right shoulder inflammation) threw 23 pitches in a rehab game for Triple A Scranton/Wilkes Barre. ... C Ben Rortvedt (strained right oblique) went 0 for 2 in his first rehab game for Class A Hudson Valley. ... RHP Ron Marinaccio (right shoulder inflammation) threw a bullpen session.
UP NEXT
New York RHP Luis Severino (5-3, 3.11 ERA) opposes Cincinnati LHP Mike Minor (1-6, 6.63) on Wednesday.

DENVER (AP) — Charlie Blackmon hit a tiebreaking three-run homer, Austin Gomber pitched six strong innings and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Blackmon’s 14th homer capped a four-pitch rally off right-hander Mike Clevinger that turned the game in the sixth inning. Connor Joe was hit by the first pitch of the inning, and Jose Iglesias dropped a single into right field on the third pitch. Blackmon then hit a 392-foot homer on the fourth for a 4-1 lead.
Blackmon had two hits in his third straight multhit game. He is 7 for 16 with four extra-base hits and five RBIs in his last four games.
Gomber (5-7) permitted one run and six hits. Daniel Bard pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 19th save in 21 chances.
Clevinger (2-2) retired his first eight batters before Sam Hilliard doubled with two outs in the third. It was the Rockies’ only hit until they tied the game on Garrett Hampson’s two-out single in the fifth.
Hilliard reached on a three-base error when center fielder Trent Grisham could handle his deep fly to the warning track with one out in the seventh inning, and he beat third baseman Manny Machado’s throw home on Jose Iglesias’s slow roller for a 5-1 lead.
The Padres got two runs in the eighth but ran themselves out of a bigger inning. With runners on first and second, Luke Voit was thrown out at third by Hilliard attempting to tag up on a fly to left field. Nomar Mazara and Esteury Ruiz followed with RBI singles, and Ruiz was thrown out attempting to steal third to end the inning. | https://www.ctpost.com/sports/article/Blackmon-hits-3-run-homer-as-Rockies-beat-Padres-17301382.php | 2022-07-13T04:28:16Z | https://www.ctpost.com/sports/article/Blackmon-hits-3-run-homer-as-Rockies-beat-Padres-17301382.php | false | 4 |

Global integrated solutions specialist EnerMech has secured a number of OPEX and CAPEX contracts in core and new markets totalling (USD)$128 million across its Africa, Middle East and Caspian locations.
This success follows a programme of strategic growth activities including a new equipment investment of approx. (USD) $10 million, signing a number of in-country joint ventures and partnerships, and a major recruitment drive expanding the EnerMech team of local hires across these geographies by a projected 63%, in the next 12 months.
In total, a broad spectrum of 11 core competency projects have been awarded by eight key clients to the business in Angola, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Turkey and the UAE in the last nine months.
Having expanded its crane capabilities in Kazakhstan with a full team of local experts, the division has secured its first crane maintenance contract. The (USD) $6.7 million award will see the team delivering onshore and offshore crane maintenance, repair, inspection and certification services.
The other projects include valve maintenance services provided to a national oil company in the Middle East, crane maintenance and process, pipeline and umbilicals work for a major operator in Turkey and a turnaround and maintenance scope for a national LNG company in Angola.
EnerMech’s regional director for Africa, Middle East and Caspian, Paul Cockerill, said: “EnerMech’s long-standing global presence has allowed us to build a strong reputation across each region and we are beginning to see really strong results. We are known for our excellence in project delivery and this announcement pays testament to this.
“We have made a significant investment in our facilities and equipment such as our operating base Abu Dhabi, UAE and Doha, Qatar and formed a number of new local partnerships to deliver a top-class service for our customers. We have also further developed our capabilities through significant local recruitment, and we are particularly proud to say that our Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan facilities are now staffed entirely with homegrown talent.
“We have plans afoot to secure additional work and diversify our product offering further and expect we will require another 280 employees in the coming months. Our ambitions are high, and I am confident that we can continue to expand EnerMech across Africa, the Middle East and Caspian regions.”
EnerMech has been established in the Middle East since 2009, in Africa for over a decade and the Caspian for more than 13 years. | https://www.zawya.com/en/press-release/companies-news/enermech-secures-over-usd-128mln-in-new-contract-wins-in-africa-middle-east-and-caspian-ru14u6on | 2022-07-13T04:54:52Z | https://www.zawya.com/en/press-release/companies-news/enermech-secures-over-usd-128mln-in-new-contract-wins-in-africa-middle-east-and-caspian-ru14u6on | false | 1 |
Some Western leaders envy dictators’ powers.
President Donald Trump said, when North Korea’s Kim Jong-un speaks, “his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”
President Barack Obama told reporters it would be so much easier to be the president of China.
Canada’s foolish Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, said he admires China because “their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime.”
These are stupid and dangerous fantasies.
Some people have a “utopian dream that if only someone at the top could just point us in a certain direction, everything would go well,” says historian Johan Norberg in my new video.
“People like a strong leader,” I point out.
“A strong leader of their own imagination,” Norberg responds.
One example he gives: “Thomas Friedman of The New York Times famously said that he wanted to be China for a day to solve global warming.”
If Friedman were dictator, he could solve global warming? I doubt it.
Yes, China has built lots of wind turbines.
“But those wind turbines don’t produce more power!” Norberg points out. “Around 30% of them are not even connected to the grid. And why is that? Because they didn’t build them to make money. They built them because they wanted to meet a political goal.”
So China has useless wind turbines and, for power, builds more coal plants.
Another example: American media said we should look to China to contain COVID-19. NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Dr. Anthony Fauci, “How uncomfortable is it that perhaps China’s authoritarian ways did prevent this?”
Fauci replies that China “prevented a broader spread.”
But China’s “‘Zero COVID’ policy turned into a nightmare,” says Norberg. China locked people into homes. One city even killed COVID patients’ pets. China is still the one country that will not acknowledge that we may have to learn to live with COVID.
“That’s what you get with dictators,” says Norberg. “If government is big enough to give you anything, it’s big enough to take everything away from you.”
At the beginning of the pandemic, America imitated China’s lockdowns. The mayor of Los Angeles threatened to shut off power to people who did not follow his orders.
There was lots of political bickering about what our COVID rules should be. People don’t like the bickering, but Norberg calls it one of democracy’s strengths.
“Because it means that we see different things and we bring different ideas to the table.” By contrast, “when we have one guy at the top, they begin to fall for their own propaganda.”
That’s probably what led to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Putin thought that his own military was in excellent shape,” says Norberg. “Ukraine was seen as a joke of a country, a place of latte-drinking comedians.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a comedian before becoming president.
Putin assumed Ukrainians “would just run away the moment they saw muscular Russian paratroopers,” says Norberg. “But it’s been a disaster for them.”
In freer countries, Norberg points out, “journalists [and] people online would’ve seen those problems and brought them forth.”
But Putin’s advisers fear telling him the truth. It’s fun to watch one of his flunkies groveling.
I understand why his adviser stammers. Pointing out a problem might get him jailed, if not killed. It’s why dictators get bad information. They make bad decisions because there’s no open dissent.
“That’s what happens when you centralize,” says Norberg. “You lose individual initiative … local knowledge. If you can mobilize everybody in one direction, sometimes they mobilize us all over the cliff.”
I’m glad America has a government with limited powers.
“Democracy cannot guarantee the best governance, but it can prevent the worst from happening,” concludes Norberg. “That is enough. That’s really what freedom and democracy is about. It doesn’t guarantee us heaven, but at least it makes us sure that we won’t end up in hell.” | https://pjmedia.com/columns/john-stossel/2022/07/13/dictator-envy-n1612387 | 2022-07-13T05:00:02Z | https://pjmedia.com/columns/john-stossel/2022/07/13/dictator-envy-n1612387 | false | 21 |

Uncommon courtesy? Viral video shows Victoria transit riders thanking bus drivers
A U.S. woman's visit to British Columbia's capital city has been making waves on the internet.
A viral video by Corrin Carlson shows Victoria transit passengers thanking their bus drivers as they leave.
The video was uploaded to TikTok on Monday, and has garnered more than 6 million views and tens of thousands of comments in about 24 hours.
Subtitles also indicate another polite aspect of the post; drivers can be heard happily responding with cheerful goodbyes.
'INCREDIBLY ENDEARING'
Carlson was visiting Victoria with her partner, who is originally from the West Coast city.
"I had just fallen in love with the way that Canadian buses, or at least in Victoria, say, 'Sorry not in service,' which is something that I just hadn't seen before," she told CTV News from Minneapolis, Min.
"I used to live in New York City and I can tell you their buses never apologized for not being in service," she said.
Carlson shared her appreciation about the "not in service" signs with her partner's friends, who told her to wait until she was on the bus and heard how people thanked the driver.
"So I went onto the bus prepared for this and I just found it incredibly endearing," she said.
"There was so much joy, certainly, but I tried not to be creepy about it. I didn't want to start giggling on the bus while people said 'Thank you,'" she explained.
Carlson says she was also happy to see that passengers from a range of different ages and backgrounds all thanked the bus drivers in Victoria.
"You can see the oldest person is probably in his late 60s, and you can hear from the youngest person that she was probably about five," she said.
'IMPORTANT TRADITION'
The province's transit operator has been watching the video catch fire online.
"The relationship our drivers have with our customers is really important to them, and that greeting when people get on the bus, and the 'thank you' when they depart, is greatly appreciated," said Jamie Weiss, senior media relations advisor for BC Transit.
"We realize this isn’t something that happens everywhere, and BC Transit wants to say thank you to all our customers who keep this important tradition going," he said.
Carlson is a travel and food blogger, as well as a content creator, and she says this video is her most popular yet.
"Whenever I do have a video that goes 'viral,' when you look at the comments just like in this video it's people saying, 'That's how I do it in my home.' Or, 'That's not how I do it in my country.' And people really enjoy getting to see how things are different or similar all around the world," she said.
Carlson says comments from across the globe seem to indicate that other residents also thank their bus drivers, including commenters from Australia, Hawaii, New Zealand, South Africa, and from "around Europe."
Even some Americans have said it's normal for passengers to thank their bus drivers in their community.
"It's just because I lived in New York and no one did it there," said Carlson.
At the same time, she notes that some Canadians have said "we definitely don't do this [over here]."
"As an American I just have this stigma, 'All Canadians are nice,' right? And so I see something that affirms that, I post a video about that," she said. "But I understand Canada is huge and it has many different regions, just like the U.S."
At noon on Tuesday, the video had 6.1 million views, 753,000 likes and 26,000 comments. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/uncommon-courtesy-viral-video-shows-victoria-transit-riders-thanking-bus-drivers-1.18206495 | 2022-07-13T05:06:32Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/uncommon-courtesy-viral-video-shows-victoria-transit-riders-thanking-bus-drivers-1.18206495 | false | 1 |

July 4 victims remembered for dedication to faith, family
CHICAGO — (AP) — Mourners on Friday remembered a woman who worked tirelessly at her synagogue and a gentle man who loved art in the first formal services to be held for the seven people killed by the gunman who opened fire on a July Fourth parade.
Synagogue members at North Shore Congregation Israel near the Chicago suburb of Highland Park described 63-year-old Jacquelyn Sundheim as a dedicated member of their community who coordinated events and taught preschool classes, smiling all along and constantly checking on other staff members.
“We are horrified,” Rabbi Wendi Geffen said. “We are enraged, sickened, aggrieved, inconsolable for the terror that has befallen us and robbed us of Jacki.”
But Geffen and other speakers urged the people filling the synagogue to focus on Sundheim’s life — her commitment to her husband, Bruce, and daughter, Leah, the pleasure she took in knitting and her attention to detail when planning bat or bar mitzvahs, weddings or funerals.
Her daughter had another request: to use the pain, fear and rage caused by her mother's death to make the world better, in small thoughts and actions.
“I want you to laugh,” she said, holding back tears. “I want you to each and every day put a little more joy and kindness into this world. Do not let this sadness, this fear, rage turn you bitter towards our world. The world is darker without my mom in it, and it's up to us now to fill it with a little extra laughter.”
Mourners also filled the Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation in Evanston to support the family of 88-year-old Stephen Straus, who was eulogized as a funny father and grandfather who loved reading and art and still rode the train five days a week to the downtown Chicago office where he worked as a financial adviser.
Son Jonathan described Straus as “truly to his core, just a sweet, generous person” while his other son, Peter, thanked his dad for instilling a love of the “zany” including Mel Brooks.
Jonathan Straus said learning of his father's death from a doctor at a hospital “was the worst moment of my life.”
“Thinking about what a good, giving, loving person he was, it makes the cruelty and the horror of his death that much harder to take,” he said. "When I see pictures of him ... it really just sweeps over me, what we've lost, who I lost, my best friend ever."
A 2020 study by Brandeis University and the University of Chicago found Highland Park had among the Chicago region's highest concentrations of Jewish residents — a fact reflected by the half-dozen or more synagogues in the suburb or just outside it. Many local restaurants offer kosher food options.
Neighboring Highwood is home to a large Hispanic population, and Mexican authorities have said two men killed at the parade were natives of the country.
One them was 78-year-old Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza of Waukegan, where family and friends gathered Friday for services.
During a private family viewing preceding public services, a granddaughter left the church in tears. Family members encircled Yesenia Hernandez, trying to comfort her as she sobbed.
Several attendees wore T-shirts with a cross and an image of Toledo-Zaragoza grinning, wearing a brimmed hat and suit. In Spanish, the shirts read: “In memory of Nicolas Toledo,” and included words from Psalms 23:1 — “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.”
Outside the church entryway, adorned with white and blue balloons, Toledo-Zaragoza’s sons, Alejo and Angel, spoke briefly about how they will miss their father's love.
Services for 69-year-old Eduardo Uvaldo, also a native of Mexico, are scheduled for Saturday.
The family of 64-year-old Katherine “Katie” Goldstein issued a statement Friday that said her husband, Craig Goldstein, a hospital physician, has been touched by the number of people who have told him that she was their best friend. She devoted herself to motherhood and caring for her family.
“Raising our daughters, enjoying adventures together — I was living a fairy tale,” Craig Goldstein said.
The statement said she also loved being outside, visiting the Chicago Botanic Garden and involving her family in her passion for bird watching.
“She was the best mom in the world,” daughters Cassie and Alana said in the statement.
Police have repeatedly said that victims were shot randomly and that the assailant had no racial or religious motivation.
Funeral details for the remaining victims have not been made public. Authorities have identified them as 35-year-old Irina McCarthy and 37-year-old Kevin McCarthy, who were attending the parade with their 2-year-old son.
The accused gunman, Robert E. Crimo III, has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors expect to bring more charges representing the more than 30 people were wounded in the assault.
Investigators have said the suspect, who lived in neighboring Highwood, legally purchased five weapons and planned the attack for weeks before he climbed to the roof of a business along the parade route and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle.
Investigators reported that Crimo fled the parade by blending in with the fleeing crowd, then drove to the Madison, Wisconsin, area, where he contemplated a second attack. He returned to the Highland Park area, and his car was spotted by police.
Questions remain about whether Crimo should have been able to legally purchase firearms in Illinois. Illinois State Police officials have defended the approval of his gun license in December 2019, months after police received reports that he had made suicidal and violent threats.
