NEW YORK -- NBA club owners voted Tuesday to have the play-in tournament become a full-time path to the playoffs and toughened rules on teams making intentional fouls to deny fast-break scoring runs.
Both changes were made after unanimous recommendations from the NBA's competition committee for both moves.
The NBA staged a play-in tournament on a one-year basis in the 2020-21 season and extended that for an extra season in 2021-22.
Under that format, teams who finish the regular season with the seventh-highest through 10th-highest winning percentages in each conference compete to decide the seventh and eighth playoff seeds.
In the 2022-23 NBA campaign, the play-in tournament will be staged April 11-14, between the end of the regular season on April 9 and the start of the playoffs on April 15.
The tougher penalty on deliberate fouls by defenders to prevent fast-break scoring opportunities will mean "take" fouls -- in which defenders do not make a play on the ball -- will be punished by one free throw and the offensive team keeping possession of the ball.
Previously, such fouls gave the attacking team the ball out of bounds.
Teams will be allowed to commit such fouls in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime without the tougher penalty, an exception that allows defensive teams to continue to use the tactic of fouling to stop the clock during an attempted comeback or prevent a team from taking a 3-point shot.
If an offensive player is fouled while shooting, a shooting foul will be called.
Fouls made while making a legitimate play at the ball will not receive the tougher penalty.

Kimathi, Kioni ready for Rally of Estonia
What you need to know:
- Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy driver William Creighton is hoping to banish all memories of his Portugal retirement.
Fresh from collecting maximum points in the WRC Safari Rally junior category, McRae Kimathi will be hoping to bridge the gap of 17 points on leader Finnish Sami Pajari at the Rally of Estonia.
Both are in to the FIA Rally Star Programme driving M-Sport Poland prepared Ford Fiestas.
Pajari has so far amassed 45 points followed by Kimathi (17), who is in line to make history as the first Kenyan to win a podium position in the WRC final standing.
A good position will extend the feel good of sport prevalent in Kenya since the country's successful hosting of the Safari Rally last month followed by historic making heroics of Angella Okutoyi, the first Kenyan to win a Wimbledon title in England in the Juniors Double final partnering Dutch Rose Marie Nijkamp.
Kimathi goes to WRC Estonia focused to minus any pressure still believing in his fairly tale journey to the third tier of the apex of the FIA World Rally Championship age group competition in Rally Estonia this weekend.
Together with navigator Mwangi Kioni, they received further training last week in preparation for Estonia, an event having a mixture of jumps, bends and smooth surface.
Competition will be tough from fellow competitors including local Robert Virves, who is hoping to end his drought of wins in the FIA Junior WRC victory on home soil.
Currently lying fourth in the standings, the 22-year-old has secured six podiums since debuting in Estonia in 2020, a maiden victory has always remained elusive. This week, he’s hoping to break that trend.
Joining Virves in the car is Swedish co-driver Julia Thulin. The pair joined forces for ERC Rally Poland last month and used English pace notes for the first time ever, eventually finishing 13th overall as well as winning their class
“I am looking forward to a good result here in Estonia,” said Virves.
“It is a place where you can’t be too slow - everybody is going to be really fast."

Delivery driver stops attempted carjacking by causing crash
BALTIMORE (WBAL) - A Maryland delivery driver jumped into action and stopped a would-be carjacker in the act, grabbing him through the window as he tried to drive away.
Police say a delivery driver left the door to his car open when he ran into Baltimore’s RYMKS Bar and Grille to get food just before 11 p.m. Sunday. When he came back out, a 17-year-old allegedly got into the driver’s seat and took off down the street.
Police say the victim grabbed hold of the suspect through the window. The car crashed, slamming into the side of the restaurant.
“The car was moving pretty fast. The driver was actually hanging on the window, trying to get him out, as he crashed,” said Justin Crowder, manager at RYMKS.
The video shows after the crash, the victim pulled the suspect out of the car. Workers say he held him down until police got there and arrested the teenager.
No one was seriously injured in the incident. Crowder says, thankfully, no employees were outside when the car crashed.
“Just thinking about the fact that somebody could’ve been out here during that time, but they weren’t. So, that was just God. That was God,” he said.
Crowder says there was no damage to their building, just their dumpster, and they spent Monday cleaning up.
The incident adds insult to injury, Crowder says, coming just three weeks after the restaurant’s co-owner, Trevor White, was murdered.
“Words can’t explain the emotional pain that comes with it, but we’re striving every day to make sure we fulfill his dream,” Crowder said.
Still, Crowder is relieved the suspect is in custody and hopes it will serve as a warning to other teens.
“I just hope that there’s a life lesson from it, not just for him but for anyone else who may be in the same position, to just really think twice of what you’re doing, who’s watching, how this could impact your life,” he said.

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.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — With thousands of sanctions already imposed on Russia to flatten its economy, the U.S. and its allies are working on new measures to starve the Russian war machine while also stopping the price of oil and gasoline from soaring to levels that could crush the global economy.
The Kremlin's main pillar of financial revenue — oil — has kept the Russian economy afloat despite export bans, sanctions and the freezing of central bank assets. European allies of the U.S. plan to follow the Biden administration and take steps to stop their use of Russian oil by the end of this year, a move that some economists say could cause the supply of oil worldwide to drop and push prices as high as $200 a barrel.
That risk has the U.S. and its allies seeking to establish a buyer's cartel to control the price of Russian oil. Group of Seven leaders have tentatively agreed to back a cap on the price of Russian oil. Simply speaking, participating countries would agree to purchase the oil at lower-than-market price.
High energy costs are already straining economies and threatening fissures among the countries opposing Russian President Vladimir Putin for the invasion of Ukraine in February. President Joe Biden has seen his public approval slip to levels that hurt Democrats' chances in the midterm elections, while leaders in the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy are coping with the economic devastation caused by trying to move away from Russian natural gas and petroleum.
The idea behind the cap is to lower gas prices for consumers and help bring the war in Ukraine to a halt. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is currently touring Indo-Pacific countries to lobby for the proposal. In Japan on Tuesday, Yellen and Japanese Finance Minister Suzuki Shunichi said in a joint statement that the countries have agreed to explore “the feasibility of price caps where appropriate.”
However, China and India, two countries that have maintained business relationships with Russia during the war, will need to get on board. The administration is confident China and India, already buying from Russia at discounted prices, can be enticed to embrace the plan for price caps.
“We think that ultimately countries around the world that are currently purchasing Russian oil will be very interested in paying as little as possible for that Russian oil,” Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo told The Associated Press.
The Russian price cap plan has support among some leading economic thinkers. Harvard economist Jason Furman tweeted that if the plan works, it would be a “win-win: maximizing damage to the Russian war machine while minimizing damage to the rest of the world.” And David Wessel at the Brookings Institution said an “ unpleasant alternative ” is not attempting the price cap plan.
If a price cap is not implemented, oil prices will almost certainly spike due to a European Union decision to ban nearly all oil from Russia. The EU also plans to ban insuring and financing the maritime transport of Russian oil to third parties by the end of the year.
Without a price cap mechanism to reduce some Russian revenues, "there would be a greater risk that some Russian supply comes off the market. That could lead to higher prices, which would increase prices for Americans," Adeyemo said.
A June Barclay’s report warns that with the EU oil embargo and other restrictions in place, Russian oil could rise to $150 per barrel or even $200 per barrel if most of its sea-borne exports are disrupted.
Brent crude on Tuesday was trading just under $100 per barrel.
James Hamilton, an economist at the University of California, San Diego, said garnering the participation of China and India will be important to enforcing any price cap plan.
“It’s an international diplomatic challenge on how you get people to agree. It’s one thing if you get the U.S. to stop buying oil, but if India and China continue to buy" at elevated prices, "there’s no impact on Russian revenues," Hamilton told the AP.
“The less revenue Russia gets from selling oil, the less money they have to send these bombs on Ukraine," he said.
Jake Sullivan, Biden's national security adviser, said during a Monday news briefing that “if it turns out that countries are imposing their own price cap and it is a substantial denial of revenue to Russia in terms of their ability to sell oil, that is not the failure of sanctions. That’s actually the success of economic pressure because it is driving down revenues for Moscow.”
One possibility is that Russia could retaliate and take its oil off the market completely.
In that case, “the main question is will countries have enough time to find alternatives" to prevent massive price increases, said Christiane Baumeister, an economist at the University of Notre Dame who studies the dynamics of energy markets.
With five months until the end of the year, when EU bans begin to take effect, a Russian price cap plan would likely need to be in place and operating effectively to avoid further spikes in gas prices that have frustrated U.S. drivers. Biden has warned that high gas prices this summer were the cost of stopping Putin, but prices could climb to new records and lead to economic and political pain for the president.
Without the price cap, “if the EU import ban goes into effect together with the insurance ban,” Baumeister said, the impacts “will be passed onto consumers through gasoline prices." | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/US-allies-aim-to-cap-Russian-oil-prices-to-17301380.php | 2022-07-13T05:36:24Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/US-allies-aim-to-cap-Russian-oil-prices-to-17301380.php | true | 36 |

Sports News Roundup: Golf-The Claret Jug comes with weight of history at St Andrews; Tennis-Wimbledon title down to Kazakh support, says Rybakina and more
Following is a summary of current sports news briefs.
Golf-The Claret Jug comes with weight of history at St Andrews
The Claret Jug weighs only 5.5 pounds (2.5kg) but when The Open is played on the Old Course at the 'Home of Golf', the trophy comes with the added weight of history. Tiger Woods, who snatched two of his three Open titles at St Andrews, said this windswept stretch of Scottish coastline, not Augusta National, is his favourite venue.
Tennis-Wimbledon title down to Kazakh support, says Rybakina
Newly crowned Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina said on Tuesday that her win at the All England Club was a collective triumph that would not have been possible without the support of the Kazakhstan Tennis Federation. The Moscow-born Rybakina, who switched allegiance to Kazakhstan in 2018 to get more financial support, became the country's first major singles champion at the weekend when she rallied to beat Tunisian third seed Ons Jabeur to lift the Wimbledon title.
Athletics-World record holder McLaughlin aims for 400m hurdles dominance
American Sydney McLaughlin is set for another star turn at Eugene, Oregon's Hayward Field as the world record holder plans a demolition in the 400 metres hurdles at the World Championships which start on Friday. All eyes will be on the 22-year-old who has made the extraordinary feel almost routine as she returns to the track where she has now twice broken the world record.
Cycling-Tour de France resumes after climate activists try to block riders
The 10th stage of the Tour de France was halted for 10 minutes on Tuesday after half a dozen climate activists tried to stop riders on the road before being pulled out by police and a senior organisers' official. The activists, one of them wearing a t-shirt saying "We have 989 days left", sat on the road some 36 kilometres (22 miles) from the finish in Megeve, a Reuters witness said.
MLB roundup: Max Scherzer strong as Mets turn back Braves
Max Scherzer threw seven strong innings and Pete Alonso drove in two runs to help the New York Mets beat the host Atlanta Braves 4-1 in the opening game of a three-game series between the two top teams in the National League East. The first-place Mets ended the Braves' three-game winning streak and improved to 3-2 against Atlanta this season.
Athletics-Botswana's Amos suspended for doping ahead of World Championships
Botswana's Nijel Amos has been provisionally suspended ahead of next week's World Championships after the 2012 Olympics 800 metres silver medalist tested positive for a banned metabolite, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said on Tuesday.
Amos was notified of the result while in Eugene, Oregon, where he was scheduled to compete in the 800m heats on July 20.
NBA makes play-in permanent, adds fastbreak foul rule
After a three-year trial run and two different formats, the NBA play-in tournament is now a permanent fixture on the league calendar. The NBA Board of Governors voted Tuesday to give the play-in event permanent status moving forward. Previously, the play-in structure was approved on a year-to-year basis.
Golf-Older and wiser, Spieth primed to continue resurgence
When Jordan Spieth won the 2017 British Open at Royal Birkdale he appeared to have the golfing world at his feet with three major titles to his name at the age of 23. The American, however, has failed to add to that haul, sliding down the world rankings to 92nd early last year following a sustained form slump from which he has only recently emerged.
Soccer-Clinical Germany beat Spain 2-0 to roll into the quarter-finals
Eight-time women's European champions Germany cruised clinically into the Euro 2022 quarter-finals as Group B winners with a game to spare on Tuesday after beating Spain 2-0 at Brentford's Community Stadium. Spain, who had hoped for a historic first win over Germany, enjoyed far more of the ball but lacked the final touch against opponents who pressed hard and were quick to seize their chances.
Evgeni Malkin agrees to 4-year extension with Penguins
Forward Evgeni Malkin eschewed free agency as he agreed on a four-year, $24.4 million extension with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night. The deal, announced by general manager Ron Hextall, runs through the 2025-26 season.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Kyle Tucker delivered a tiebreaking RBI double in the ninth inning, and the Houston Astros blew a four-run lead before rallying for a 6-5 victory over the spiraling Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.
José Altuve led off the ninth with a walk from Angels closer Raisel Iglesias (2-6), who had his second straight calamitous outing. Aledmys Díaz singled before a double to right by Tucker, a first-time All-Star selection last week.
Díaz hit an early two-run homer and Alex Bregman and Altuve had RBI singles before the Astros wasted a strong six-inning start by Luis Garcia with a mistake-filled seventh. The AL West leaders have still won four of five and 21 of 27 to move a season-high 28 games above .500 at 57-29.
Hector Neris (2-3) pitched the eighth, and Ryan Pressly picked up his 19th save.
Pinch-hitter David MacKinnon had a two-RBI single during that four-run rally in the seventh for the Angels, who had only two hits in their latest offensively inept performance.
Mike Trout left with upper back spasms before the fifth inning on another disappointing night for the Angels, who have lost five straight and nine of 10 to drop a season-low 12 games below .500 at 38-50.
Shohei Ohtani went 0 for 2 with two walks on the night before the All-Star returns to the mound and attempts to extend his streak of 28 2/3 scoreless innings.
Garcia struck out seven and retired his final 13 hitters over six innings of one-hit ball for the Astros. He left with a 5-1 lead, but failed to win his fifth consecutive start after Houston's bullpen and defense collapsed.
Noah Syndergaard wasn't sharp for the Angels, yielding three runs on three hits and a season-high four walks while lasting just four innings.
Houston was up 2-0 after two batters: Altuve drew a leadoff walk before Díaz drilled his sixth homer to center.
Trout struck out in his first two at-bats against Garcia before leaving the game. He also struck out 16 times while batting .177 on the Angels' road trip.
Monte Harrison replaced Trout in center field, and the journeyman backup allowed an extra run to score in the sixth by misplaying Altuve's RBI single for an error.
Los Angeles didn't have a baserunner between Brandon Marsh's second-inning single and Luis Rengifo's 10-pitch walk in the seventh. Houston then committed back-to-back errors, and the Angels quickly tied it on a hit batter with the bases loaded, MacKinnon's big single and a passed ball.
ROUGH STRETCH
Before he wrapped up the ninth, Iglesias had allowed eight consecutive batters to reach base, starting with four straight hits to end his horrific blown save last Friday in Baltimore.
UNFAMILIAR TURF
To keep MacKinnon in the game after his big hit, the Angels moved Jared Walsh to left field for only the second time in his major league career. Walsh also played left in the All-Star Game last season.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Astros: RHP Lance McCullers threw a two-inning simulated game. He'll throw another on Saturday. He hasn't pitched in the majors since injuring his right flexor tendon in last season's playoffs.
Angels: RHP Austin Warren returned from the injured list before the game and pitched a scoreless seventh. The reliever had been out since June 17 with a right triceps strain after missing time earlier in the season when he was hit in the face by a baseball during batting practice.
UP NEXT
Ohtani (8-4, 2.44 ERA) faces Cristian Javier (6-4, 3.01). The Halos' two-way superstar will make the 50th pitching start of his major league career. He hasn't allowed an earned run since June 9.

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said his government, with the help of the Centre plans to introduce the new sea wave breaker technology to find out a permanent solution to sea erosion in the coastal region. Talking to reporters after visiting Battappady in Ullal near here, an area severely affected by sea erosion late Tuesday evening, he said a lot of money had been spent on temporary solutions like laying stones along the coast which have not been proved effective.
The sea wave breaker technology will be installed along a one-km stretch in the coast and its effectiveness will be tested before taking future course of action, he said.
The national disaster relief package of Rs 739 crore will be utilised for distributing compensation to the affected people based on the reports of the deputy commissioners of affected districts.
Paucity of funds will not affect relief works in affected areas, Bommai said.
The CM said the roads in the ghat section will be developed and the four-lane works will be completed after the monsoon season.
Mangaluru MLA U T Khader, who was present, thanked the chief minister for his visit. State ministers R Ashok, Kota Srinivas Poojary, S Angara, Pratapsimha Nayak MLC and deputy commissioner K V Rajendra were among those who accompanied the chief minister.

By Emmanuel Ojeifo
BOLA Ahmed Tinubu finally announced yesterday what has been a rumor in the last few weeks: a Muslim-Muslim APC presidential ticket for the 2023 election.
The fact that the announcement was made during the Sallah celebration is a statement. This is Tinubu’s way of ingratiating himself with the Nigerian Muslim ummah.
When the rumor of a Muslim-Muslim ticket first became public, many voices of caution were raised in opposition to the idea. But the APC still went ahead with the plan. Strangely enough, Tinubu and his party are now telling us that having a balance of Religion on the ticket doesn’t matter and that we need to outgrow Religion. Anyone who agrees to this is just being naive and insensitive to Nigeria’s identity politics.
If the North-South regional balance didn’t matter, why did Tinubu who is from the South not pick another Southern VP candidate? Why did he go to the North? That shows that Regional balance matters.
If geopolitical balance didn’t matter, why didn’t he pick a South-East or South-South VP candidate? There are a number of competent APC party men from these geopolitical zones. Why did he go over to the North-East? Is it not because Buhari took the slot of the North-West? That’s to show that geopolitical zoning matters.
If ethnicity didn’t matter, why didn’t Tinubu pick another Yoruba VP candidate like himself? Why did he settle for a Kanuri Northern candidate? That’s to show that ethnicity matters.
But when it comes to Religious balance, they now tell us that Religion doesn’t matter. Was it not on the altar of Religion that they campaigned for Buhari in 2015? Did they not tell Northerners that he is a good Muslim? Did they not tell Christians that his driver and cook for many years were Christians? Why was that rhetoric important for 2015? Even Buhari who is fanatically Muslim was politically sensitive enough in 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2015 to choose a Christian VP candidate.
If it is a question of the slot of the North-East, there are well-known and far more competent Northern Christians in the APC. Take for instance, the former HoR Speaker Yakubu Dogara (Bauchi, North-East) or the current SGF Boss Mustapha (Adamawa, North-East). Or even Governor Simon Lalong (Plateau, North-Central). Why didn’t they choose any of these? So it is NOT a question of the North-East slot or even of competence. APC is playing a script!
After Buhari’s squandered opportunity to unite this nation in the last 7 years, after his thoroughly lopsided political appointments in favor of his Northern Muslim base, after the atrocious decimation and systematic liquidation of Nigerian Christians in the last 7 years, APC’s tragic choice for the 2023 election is an insult to national cohesion. To say that Religious balance doesn’t matter is to say that Nigeria’s 100 million Christians do not matter, that we do not belong, that we mean nothing for national politics, that we are a useless lot!
Even if we were to suspend religious considerations for a minute, take a look at the APC candidates: do they look like people who have the competence, clarity of mind, and quality of character to lead Nigeria at this critical hour when our nation is dangling on a knife-edge? NO!
The best way therefore to resist this egregious, unforgivable national insult to Nigeria’s religious balance is to ensure that the APC doesn’t smell the presidential seat next year. Otherwise we are in for something far more worse than what we have suffered under Buhari.
This is a brazen and an insensitive decision. APC is clearly telling us that it doesn’t care two hoots and that Nigerian Christians can go to blazes! If Nigeria’s 100 million Christians fold their arms and allow this to pass, the joke will be on us for a thousand years to come!
Rev Father Emmanuel Ojeifo.

Wodonga coach Jordan Taylor admits he will change a number of aspects after re-signing with the Ovens and Murray Football League club.
Advertisement
Taylor will coach the Bulldogs for a third season, with an option for 2024.
"I'm super excited to give it another crack," he declared.
"I've learnt a lot from this year. Last year came with no expectations, then this year we had more expectations on myself and the side.
"I feel like there's more to give than what we've showed so far this year."
Taylor signed with the Bulldogs after the abandoned 2020 season.
The club had claimed the wooden spoon the previous year with only one win, while conceding 115 points per match.
Under Taylor, the Bulldogs pushed to eighth last year, with four wins, slashing the average points conceded to 79.
Adding to the improvement is the fact it was only a 13-round season, again due to COVID.
The Finley product told The Border Mail over the off-season the plan was to play finals this year and contend for the flag in 2023
With only four wins and just six rounds left, the Bulldogs will fall short of this year's target and the league's second-youngest coach at 28 says he's learnt a number of lessons.
"Probably playing things on their merit and not looking too far ahead," he revealed.
"If you look too far ahead, a few little bad habits can sneak in."
The Bulldogs still lack the class of the top five outfits and that's reflected in a number of areas.
They don't have a top 10 player in goalkicking, contested marks, clearances or score involvements.
Wodonga also hasn't been helped with Taylor's long-running hamstring problems, robbing the side of his grunt work, although he was able to return in last week's 86-point caning of Wodonga Raiders, posting 10 disposals.
Recruit Angus Baker sits fifth for disposals (322), while best and fairest Josh Mathey is ninth for contested possessions (106).
Although Taylor doesn't plan to look too far ahead, the club will fancy its chances of finishing with seven wins.

Wodonga will start slight outsiders away to Lavington on Saturday, although it only fell to the Panthers by three points in round four, albeit the latter had eight more scoring shots.
ALSO IN SPORT:
The Bulldogs will also fancy their chances against Corowa-Rutherglen (round 17) and North Albury (round 18), but will be outsiders in a three-week block against top five contenders Yarrawonga, Wangaratta Rovers and Myrtleford, although they did topple Rovers by 27 points in round six.

EMERGING MARKETS-Asian FX edges up but cautious ahead of U.S. inflation data
By Harish Sridharan
July 13 (Reuters) - Asia's emerging market currencies notched small gains on Wednesday to pare some recent losses, but caution prevailed ahead of U.S. inflation data that could determine the pace of further policy tightening in the world's largest economy.
South Korea's won KRW=KFTC strengthened 0.6% after the central bank delivered a historic half-point interest rate hike, but still hovered near a 13-year low. Malaysia's ringgit MYR= and the Singaporean dollar SGD= both rose 0.1%.
Currencies in the region have come under immense pressure in recent months, with expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will hike rates faster and further than its peers contributing significantly to the safe haven dollar's unrelenting surge.
A high U.S. inflation print would likely be read by the Fed as a sign they need to continue with aggressive interest rate rises, which is likely to weigh further on beaten down Asian currencies.
Risk appetite in Asia may continue to be restrained amid global growth concerns and fears of tighter financial conditions, even if there is a moderation in the U.S. CPI (consumer price index), said Christopher Wong, senior FX strategist at Maybank.
Economists forecast headline U.S. inflation accelerated 8.8% year-on-year to a 40-year high in June.
Taiwan stocks .TWII rebounded strongly after plummeting to a more than one-and-a-half year low in the previous session, as the government announced it would activate its T$500 billion ($16.75 billion) stock stabilisation fund to intervene in the market.
The benchmark index jumped over 3% to post its best intraday gain since mid-march.
The index has still dropped over 20% this year, and along with the KOSPI .KS11 in South Korea, is the worst performing stock index in the region this year.
Equities in Seoul rose 0.6%. The central bank's hefty rate hike had been expected as policymakers try to curb inflation that is running at the fastest pace in 24 years.
The Bank of Korea raised its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 2.25%, the biggest increase since the bank adopted its current policy system in 1999, and markets expect more tightening in coming months.
"There are mounting pressures for global central banks to default to upsized rate hikes upfront in response to continued upside surprise in inflation," Mizuho economist Vishnu Varathan said in a note.
The prospect of more rate hikes from India's central bank also rose as annual consumer inflation reported on Tuesday remained well beyond the Reserve Bank of India's tolerance limit for the sixth month in a row.
June's print of 7.01% was almost in line with the 7.04% forecast by economists in a Reuters poll, and higher than 6.26% in the year earlier period.
Shares in India .NSEI rose 0.4%, while the rupee INR=IN traded flat.
Shares in Singapore .STI, Malaysia .KLSE and the Philippines .PSI all fell, declining between 0.7% and 1.1%.
The stock market in Thailand was closed for a local holiday.

ROGERS PARK — The nice weather might have you contemplating a trip to the lakefront. But your presence may not be welcomed by some lake shore residents.
“Caution” signs have gone up along the lakefront warning visitors of red-winged blackbirds, which are known to aggressively dive bomb those who get too close to their nests.
Red-winged blackbirds are among the most common birds in Chicago. They are frequently a nuisance during nesting season in June and July, making now the time when the birds are most likely to swoop down on pedestrians.
The birds — known by some as “nature’s a–holes” — nest near bodies of water, making the lakefront a prime spot for run-ins between pedestrians and the animals.
Caution signs have been posted along the lakefront in Rogers Park, including at Loyola and Hartigan beaches, according to Ald. Maria Hadden (49th). Signs have also gone up at Loyola’s campus in Rogers Park, neighbors said.
“We are so fortunate to be able to live alongside a beautiful lake and have wildlife to share our space with,” Hadden said in a social media update to constituents. “These birds are beautiful, fierce parents. Let’s give them some space.”
Last year may have been a particularly rough year for lakefront-goers after the blackbirds had the previous summer to themselves during the height of the pandemic, experts said. But joggers and other pedestrians know the birds are an annual nuisance.
Some Rogers Park neighbors said they’ve already had run-ins with the blackbirds this year. One neighbor said they saw fellow joggers get chased away from the path near Lincoln Park Zoo.
“One flapped into me yesterday,” a neighbor said in response to Hadden’s post. “Didn’t hurt. As a fellow parent, I was moved by his concern.”
The act is done when the birds perceive that someone has gotten too close to their nest. Typically, they just swoop down, but they will sometimes attack people. They can draw blood, but their main goal is to scare you away, experts say.
“When this happens, the birds are defending a nest,” said Doug Stotz, ornithologist and senior conservation ecologist at the Field Museum, previously told Block Club. “It’s a conflict between a lot of people versus a lot of nesting birds.”
The problem usually lasts through July, Stotz said. There are ways to protect yourself against swooping birds.
For one, the birds tend to swoop down at people by themselves versus those in a group. That’s why joggers have been frequent targets.
The birds are also likely to attack from the rear. So if you suspect there is an irritated blackbird in your midst, try to keep them in front of you, Stotz said.
One jogger suggested on Facebook to wear a backwards baseball hat so that the brim protects your neck from bird attacks.

PROVO, Utah — A man was arrested after he inappropriately touched two teenage girls who were attending a church youth camp at Brigham Young University last week, according to police.
Dennis Lee Yazzie, 64, was booked in the Utah County Jail Friday and was later officially charged with two 2nd-degree felony counts of forcible sexual abuse.
Officers with BYU Police said they were called Friday afternoon by an adult counselor at Especially For Youth (EFY) , which is a week-long summer program for teenage members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The counselor said a man groped two teenage girls, and he pointed the officers in the direction of an on-campus building where the suspect had gone.
A police officer said he was asking Yazzie where he had been recently and who he had talked to when he said, seemingly unprompted, "I'm no pervert." The officer wrote in the arrest report that he did not say or ask Yazzie anything that would prompt him to make such a statement.
"When I asked him to explain that further," the officer wrote, "he said he did not touch any kids, that he has grandkids, and he would not touch any kids."
The 21-year-old EFY counselor told police that he saw Yazzie, who appeared to be homeless, asking teens at the event for money. He said he told him the church would help him, but not there at the youth conference. Then, he said he saw Yazzie touch one of the teenage girls inappropriately and told him he needed to leave.
Police spoke with the two girls who said Yazzie touched them. They both said he was holding his hands out and asking for money before he groped them.
The first, a 16-year-old, said the man approached her while she was in line to get lunch. She said his hand initially brushed up against her, and she couldn't tell if it was an accident or not, but then she said he touched her inappropriately over her shirt in a way that she said was clearly intentional.
The other alleged victim was a 17-year-old girl who said she did not see Yazzie approach her but that he was next to her in a lunch line. She said he was asking for money with his hands out, then touched her underneath her shirt.
A teenage boy who witnessed one of the alleged incidents said Yazzie was about to touch another teenage girl until the counselor confronted him.
"While Mr. Yazzie's actions negatively impacted the two females he assaulted, his actions were witnessed by many of the young women and young men at the event," a probable cause affidavit read. "[His] actions impacted, alarmed, and caused concern for many individuals at the event."
Yazzie's bail was set at $5,000. As of Tuesday night, the county jail roster showed that he was still in custody. | https://www.fox13now.com/news/crime/64-year-old-man-arrested-for-allegedly-groping-teen-girls-at-provo-efy-camp | 2022-07-13T06:14:13Z | https://www.fox13now.com/news/crime/64-year-old-man-arrested-for-allegedly-groping-teen-girls-at-provo-efy-camp | false | 1 |

A small business owner has taken to Facebook to slam claims her cakes are overpriced as the cost of living soars across the UK.
Charlotte Church runs Cake Mamma Lancashire from her home in Burscough - making cakes for all occasions and preferences. Like many other businesses, she told LancsLive she has been affected by the rising cost of living.
Soaring costs have subsequently had an affect on the price she is able to sell her products. And following a series of complaints, including over one six-inch cake which costs £80, Charlotte felt she had to speak out.

The business owner took it upon herself to explain the pricing on her Facebook page and broke down each element of costing. Talking to LancsLive, she said: "I'm really lucky to have a busy business but there are sometimes these disheartening comments when people don't realise the hard work and money that goes into what I sell.
"People saying it's 'just cake' is quite common, but other people in the same trade as me understand and even say I'm quite cheap.
"There's no need to be negative. I source all of my own ingredients but everything has gone up at least 20%, including dried flowers which people love but are really expensive.
"My husband suggested I keep my prices low to help people out but why wouldn't I since everything else is going up, including how I make my cakes but also the cost of running my home." In the post, Charlotte hit back at comments stating all that goes into cake making is "only butter and eggs."
She breaks down the components of pricing, including the ingredients at £12, board and box at £4, topper and palms at £12, homemade macarons at £4 and flowers at £6. Charlotte also states that the baking and decorating time for this particular product would be around four hours, meaning a cost of £40 to pay herself a reasonable amount of £10 per hour.
She then states, the total as £78 would be rounded up to £80, but in that breakdown hasn't included other costs such as petrol and electricity and water expenses. "Last week, my 10-year-old daughter came home from school and she was upset because someone had said my cakes were 'too expensive' and I've heard other people say it too," Charlotte added.
"I told her that people will say that, but they don't realise what goes into it and some people like having those special, bespoke cakes. It's also my full-time job whereas some people do it for a bit of extra money as a hobby, but I am accredited and registered properly so I need to spend money on being insured and registered and doing everything the right way."
Charlotte tells us that although her business is still getting demand, she is noticing a trend with people buying less cakes for events such as Christmas and Valentine's Day but people are still after cakes for birthdays and other occasions. She opened Cake Mamma Lancashire four years ago after demand grew "out of the blue" from making cakes for her friends and family.
When asked about the other stumbling block for her business, surviving through the COVID-19 pandemic, Charlotte said her business "thrived" as she was able to continuing working from home. She continued: "Throughout COVID the council said I could work so I carried on and delivered people their cakes contactless and made treat boxes to cheer people up.
"The job is demanding though as it's only me and I'll make around 10, maximum 20 cakes a week. I pay myself hourly but if I'm working on social media or other aspects of it, then I don't really get paid for that. I have a loyal base of customers which is great, but I just wanted to give a little insight into what goes in to making my cakes."

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time, a pharmaceutical company has asked for permission to sell a birth control pill over the counter in the U.S.
HRA Pharma’s application on Monday sets up a high-stakes decision for health regulators amid legal and political battles over women’s reproductive health. The company says the timing was unrelated to the Supreme Court’s recent decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Hormone-based pills have long been the most common form of birth control in the U.S., used by millions of women since the 1960s. They have always required a prescription, generally so health professionals can screen for conditions that raise the risk of rare, but dangerous, blood clots.
The French drugmaker’s application compiles years of research intended to convince the Food and Drug Administration that women can safely screen themselves for those risks and use the pill effectively.
“For a product that has been available for the last 50 years, that has been used safely by millions of women, we thought it was time to make it more available,” said Frederique Welgryn, HRA’s chief strategy officer.
An FDA approval could come next year and would only apply to HRA’s pill, which would be sold under its original brand name, Opill. The company acquired the decades-old drug from Pfizer in 2014, but it’s not currently marketed in the U.S.
Reproductive rights advocates want to see other prescription contraceptives move over the counter and, eventually, for abortion pills to do the same.
That potential for a precedent-setting decision once again places the FDA under an intense political spotlight.
Late last year, the agency was condemned by abortion opponents and praised by women’s rights advocates when it loosened access to abortion pills. The agency faced similar political pressures in 2006 when it approved over-the-counter use of the emergency contraception pill Plan B.
Many conservative groups stress they are only interested in curtailing abortion, and state bans often explicitly exclude contraception.
Even before Monday’s announcement, Democratic lawmakers were calling on the FDA to swiftly consider any such requests.
“We urge FDA to review applications for over-the-counter birth control pills without delay and based solely on the data,” said more than 50 members of the House’s Pro-Choice Caucus in a March letter.
Many common medications have made the switch from behind the pharmacy counter, including drugs for pain relief, heartburn and allergies.
In each case, companies must show that consumers can understand the drug’s labeling, evaluate its risks and use it safely and effectively without professional supervision. HRA spent seven years conducting the FDA-required studies, including a trial that followed 1,000 women taking its pill for six months.
Behind the company’s efforts is a coalition of women’s health researchers and advocates who have worked for nearly two decades to make contraceptives more accessible, especially to groups with less access to health care.
The Oral Contraceptives Over-the-Counter Working Group helped fund some of HRA’s research and is mobilizing support behind a media campaign dubbed Free the Pill.
“A lot of our research has been about making the case to help inspire and support a company to take this work on,” said Kelly Blanchard, president of Ibis Reproductive Health, a group member that supports abortion and contraceptive access.
Birth control pills are available without a prescription across much of South America, Asia and Africa. Last year, Paris-based HRA won U.K. approval for the first birth control pill available there without a prescription.
Advocates were particularly interested in HRA’s drug because they say it’s likely to raise fewer safety concerns.
The pill contains a single synthetic hormone, progestin, which prevents pregnancy by blocking sperm from the cervix.
Most birth control pills contain progestin plus estrogen, which can help make periods lighter and more regular. Progestin-only pills are generally recommended for women who can’t take the more popular combination pills due to health issues.
But estrogen also accounts for most of the blood clot risk associated with oral contraceptives. FDA’s labeling warns against their use in certain women already at risk for heart problems, such as those who smoke and are over 35.
For most women, the drugs are overwhelmingly safe. For every 10,000 women taking combination pills annually, three to nine will suffer a blood clot, according to FDA data. That compares with one to five clots among 10,000 women who aren’t taking birth control.
And medical professionals point out that blood clot rates are much higher in women who become pregnant, when hormone levels and reduced blood flow increase clotting risk.
“What I definitely see is a misunderstanding of the dangers of these pills. It is much safer to take the pill than to be pregnant” said Dr. Maura Quinlan, a Northwestern University physician and member of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She was not involved in HRA’s application or research.
The medical association supports unrestricted access too all hormone-based contraceptives over the counter. Last month, the nation’s largest physician group, the American Medical Association, endorsed making birth control pills available for over-the-counter purchase without an age requirement.
Still, support is not universal.
Diana Zuckerman of the nonprofit National Center for Health Research says comparing the safety risks of the pills with pregnancy is not the right approach.
Many women take birth control pills to regulate their periods or reduce bleeding, said Zuckerman, whose group evaluates medical research. “Those are real benefits, but they are not worth the risk of potentially fatal blood clots,” she said.
The FDA has long monitored the safety of oral contraceptives, updating their warnings over the years.
Last year, the agency placed a hold on a study by drugmaker Cadence Health, which has also been working on an over-the-counter pill. The agency told the company to conduct additional blood pressure checks of trial participants. The company says it is “working to overcome this regulatory hurdle.”
The FDA is required to hold a public meeting to evaluate HRA’s application before making a decision. Safety considerations are likely to take center stage.
Executives at HRA, which is owned by Perrigo Co., expect a decision in the first half of 2023.
Advocates hope it will be the first of many.
“Once we see the approval of this product, it will demonstrate that it’s possible and that the data is strong,” Blanchard said. “Hopefully we’ll see the process speed up from here.” | https://www.kget.com/health/drugmaker-seeks-fda-approval-for-over-the-counter-birth-control/ | 2022-07-13T06:21:37Z | https://www.kget.com/health/drugmaker-seeks-fda-approval-for-over-the-counter-birth-control/ | true | 32 |
LONDON (AP) — London’s Heathrow Airport is capping daily passenger numbers for the summer and telling airlines to stop selling tickets as it steps up efforts to quell travel chaos caused by soaring travel demand and staff shortages.
Britain’s busiest airport said Tuesday that it’s setting a limit of 100,000 passengers that it can handle each day through Sept. 11. The restriction is likely to result in more canceled flights even after airlines already slashed thousands of flights from their summer schedules.
U.K. aviation authorities demanded that airlines ensure they can operate without disruption over the summer, with carriers not punished for not using their valuable takeoff and landing slots. They were responding to chaotic airport scenes as passengers complained about long lineups at security, lost luggage and lengthy flight delays.
Even with that allowance, Heathrow, which had warned a day earlier that it may ask airlines to cut flights further, said it still expected more passengers than airport ground staff could handle.
“Some airlines have taken significant action, but others have not, and we believe that further action is needed now to ensure passengers have a safe and reliable journey,” Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said in an open letter to passengers.
Airlines are expected to operate flights over the summer with an overall daily capacity of 104,000 seats, or 4,000 more than Heathrow can handle, the airport said. Only about 1,500 of the 4,000 extra daily seats have been sold to passengers.
“So we are asking our airline partners to stop selling summer tickets to limit the impact on passengers,” Holland-Kaye said.
British Airways, the airline with the biggest presence at Heathrow, has already cut 11% of its scheduled flights between April and October. It didn’t respond to a request for comment Tuesday on whether it would cancel more.
Virgin Atlantic, which is also based at Heathrow, said it’s “ready to deliver its full schedule this summer” but supported the airport’s “proactive measures” to reduce disruption, as long they don’t have an outsized impact on its home carriers.
Other European airports have imposed similar caps this summer. London’s Gatwick has limited daily flight numbers, while Amsterdam’s Schiphol cut its maximum daily passenger numbers by 13,500.
Booming demand for summer travel after two years of COVID-19 travel restrictions have overwhelmed European airlines and airports that had laid off tens of thousands of pilots, cabin crew, check-in staff, ground crew and baggage handlers amid the depths of the pandemic.
Heathrow has said it started a recruiting drive in November and expects security staffing to be back to pre-pandemic levels by the end of July.
“However, there are some critical functions in the airport which are still significantly under-resourced, in particular ground handlers, who are contracted by airlines to provide check-in staff, load and unload bags and turnaround aircraft,” making it a “significant constraint” to overall capacity, Holland-Kaye said. | https://fox40.com/news/international/ap-international/londons-heathrow-airport-caps-daily-passenger-numbers/ | 2022-07-13T06:25:14Z | https://fox40.com/news/international/ap-international/londons-heathrow-airport-caps-daily-passenger-numbers/ | true | 45 |

Red alerts, the highest in a three-tier warning system, were dispersed throughout the country yesterday and cities took measures to protect citizens from the scorching heat, which broke records for the month of July in parts of eastern Jiangsu province and the neighbouring city of Shanghai.
Temperatures in the city of Yixing in Jiangsu rose as high as 41.3 degrees Celsius (106.3 Fahrenheit) yesterday, a new historic peak, the China Meteorological Administration said today.
The hashtag #Heatstroke was trending on social media with 2.45 million views on the Weibo social platform of discussions ranging from people being admitted to hospital and the detrimental effects of long-term heat exposure.
“This year’s weather is really hot and abnormal, it has been more than 30 degrees Celsius for two months!”, wrote a Weibo user.
Experts blame global climate change for the unusual weather.
Yesterday, maximum temperatures soared to 37-39 degrees Celsius in parts of Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei and Anhui provinces, and the cities of Chongqing and Shanghai.
In particular, the cities of Luzhou and Yibin in Sichuan and Zhaotong in Yunnan, as well as Shaoxing, Ningbo, Jiaxing and Huzhou in Zhejiang, and Changzhou and Wuxi in Jiangsu, hit temperatures around 40 to 42 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, heavy rain battered parts of Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang provinces and Inner Mongolia region.
Forecasters expect the intense heat and rain to continue over the next several days. — Reuters | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/07/13/chinese-cities-break-heat-records-weather-extremes-to-persist/17186 | 2022-07-13T06:34:49Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/07/13/chinese-cities-break-heat-records-weather-extremes-to-persist/17186 | false | 12 |
Recently, I told my friend Mimi that, only weeks from now, I was returning to Reno to help UNITE-HERE, the hospitality industry union, in the potentially nightmarish 2022 election. “Even though,” I added, “I hate electoral politics.”
She just laughed.
“What’s so funny?” I asked.
“You’ve been saying that as long as I’ve known you,” she replied with a grin.
How right she was. And “as long as I’ve known you” has been a pretty long time. We met more than a quarter of a century ago when my partner and I hired her as the first organizer in a field campaign to defeat Proposition 209. That ballot initiative was one of a series pandering to the racial anxieties of white Californians that swept through the state in the 1990s. The first of them was Prop 187, outlawing the provision of government services, including health care and education, to undocumented immigrants. In 1994, Californians approved that initiative by a 59% to 41% vote. A federal court, however, found most of its provisions unconstitutional and it never went into effect.
We weren’t so lucky with Proposition 209, which, in 1996, outlawed affirmative-action programs statewide at any level of government or public service. Its effects reverberate to this day, not least at the prestigious University of California’s many campuses.
A study commissioned 25 years later by its Office of the President revealed that “Prop 209 caused a decline in systemwide URG enrollment by at least twelve percent.” URGs are the report’s shorthand for “underrepresented groups” — in other words, Latinos, Blacks, and Native Americans. Unfortunately, Proposition 209’s impact on the racial makeup of the university system’s students has persisted for decades and, as that report observed, “led URG applicants to cascade out of UC into measurably less-advantageous universities.” Because of UC’s importance in California’s labor market, “this caused a decline in the total number of high-earning ($100,000) early-30s African American and Hispanic/Latinx Californians by at least three percent.”
Yes, we lost the Prop 209 election, but the organization we helped start back in 1995, Californians for Justice, still flourishes. Led by people of color, it’s become a powerful statewide advocate for racial justice in public education with a number of electoral and legislative victories to its name.
Shortcomings and the Short Run
How do I hate thee, electoral organizing? Let me count the ways. First, such work requires that political activists like me go wide, but almost never deep. It forces us to treat voters like so many items to be checked off a list, not as political actors in their own right. Under intense time pressure, your job is to try to reach as many people as possible, immediately discarding those who clearly aren’t on your side and, in some cases, even actively discouraging them from voting. In the long run, treating elections this way can weaken the connection between citizens and their government by reducing all the forms of democratic participation to a single action, a vote. Such political work rarely builds organized power that lasts beyond Election Day.
In addition, electoral campaigns sometimes involve lying not just to voters, but even to your own canvassers (not to speak of yourself) about whether you can win or not. In bad campaigns — and I’ve seen a couple of them — everyone lies about the numbers: canvassers about how many doors they’ve knocked on; local field directors about what their canvassers have actually done; and so on up the chain of command to the campaign director. In good campaigns, this doesn’t happen, but those may not, I suspect, be in the majority. And lying, of course, can become a terrible habit for anyone hoping to construct a strong organization, not to mention a better world.
Lying, as the philosopher Immanuel Kant argued, is a way of treating people as if they were merely things to be used. Electoral campaigns can often tempt organizers to take just such an instrumental approach to others, assuming voters and campaign workers have value only to the extent that they can help you win. Such an approach, however efficient in the short run, doesn’t build solidarity or democratic power for the long haul. Sometimes, of course, the threat is so great — as was true when it came to the possible reelection of Donald Trump in 2020 — that the short run simply matters more.
Another problem with elections? Campaigns so often involve convincing people to do something they’ve come to think of as a waste of time, namely, going to the polls. A 2018 senatorial race I worked on, for example, focused on our candidate’s belief in the importance of raising the minimum wage. And yes, we won that election, but four years later, the federal minimum wage is still stubbornly stuck at $7.25 an hour, though not, of course, through any fault of our candidate. Still, the voters who didn’t think electing Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen would improve their pay weren’t wrong.
On the other hand, the governor we helped elect that same year (and for whose reelection I’ll be working again soon) did come through for working Nevadans by, for example, signing legislation that guarantees a worker’s right to be recalled before anyone new is hired when a workplace reopens after a Covid shutdown.
You’ll hear some left-wing intellectuals and many working people who are, in the words of the old saying, “too broke to pay attention,” claim that elections don’t change anything. But such a view grows ever harder to countenance in a world where a Supreme Court disastrously reshaped by Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell is hell-bent on reshaping nearly the last century of American political life. It’s true that overturning Roe v. Wade doesn’t affect my body directly. I’m too old to need another abortion. Still, I’m just as angry as I was in 2016 at people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary Clinton because she wasn’t Bernie Sanders. As I told such acquaintances at the time, “Yes, we’ll hate her and we’ll have to spend the next four years fighting her, but on the other hand, SUPREME COURT, SUPREME COURT, SUPREME COURT!”
Okay, maybe that wasn’t exactly the most elegant of arguments, but it was accurate, as anyone will tell you who’d like to avoid getting shot by a random heat-packing pedestrian, buried under the collapsing wall between church and state, or burned outin yet another climate-change-induced conflagration.
If Voting Changed Anything…
Back in 1996, as Election Day approached, Californians for Justice had expanded from two offices — in Oakland and Long Beach — to 11 around the state. We were paying a staff of 45 and expanding (while my partner and I lay awake many nights wondering how we’d make payroll at the end of the week). We were ready for our get-out-the-vote push.
Just before the election, one of the three organizations that had given us seed money published its monthly newsletter. The cover featured a photo of a brick wall spray-painted with the slogan: “If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.” Great, just what we needed!
It’s not as if I didn’t agree, at least in part, with the sentiment. Certainly, when it comes to foreign policy and the projection of military force globally, there has been little difference between the two mainstream political parties. Since the end of World War II, Democrats and Republicans have cooperated in a remarkably congenial way when it comes to this country’s disastrous empire-building project, while financially rewarding the military-industrial complex, year after year, in a grandiose fashion.
Even in the Proposition 209 campaign, my interest lay more in building long-term political power for California communities of color than in a vote I already knew we would lose. Still, I felt then and feel today that there’s something deeply wrong with the flippant response of some progressives that elections aren’t worth bothering about. I’d grown up in a time when, in the Jim Crow South, voting was still largely illegal for Blacks and people had actually died fighting for their right to vote. Decades earlier, some of my feminist forebears had been tortured while campaigning for votes for women.
Making Voting Illegal Again
In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, explicitly outlawing any law or regulation that “results in the denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen to vote on account of race or color.” Its specific provisions required states or counties with a history of voter suppression to receive “pre-clearance” from the attorney general or the District Court for the District of Columbia for any further changes in election laws or practices. Many experts considered this provision the heart of that Act.
Then, in 2013, in Shelby County v. Holder, a Supreme Court largely shaped by Republican presidents tore that heart right out. Essentially, the court ruled that, because those once excluded from voting could now do so, such jurisdictions no longer needed preclearance to change their voting laws and regulations. In other words, because it was working, it should be set aside.
Not surprisingly, some states moved immediately to restrict access to voting rights. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, “within 24 hours of the ruling, Texas announced that it would implement a strict photo ID law. Two other states, Mississippi and Alabama, also began to enforce photo ID laws that had previously been barred because of federal preclearance.” Within two months, North Carolina passed what that center called “a far-reaching and pernicious voting bill” which:
“instituted a strict photo ID requirement; curtailed early voting; eliminated same day registration; restricted preregistration; ended annual voter registration drives; and eliminated the authority of county boards of elections to keep polls open for an additional hour.”
Fortunately, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the North Carolina law in 2016, and surprisingly the Supreme Court let that ruling stand.
But as it turned out, the Supremes weren’t done with the Voting Rights Act. In 2021, the present Trumpian version of the court issued a ruling in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee upholding Arizona’s right to pass laws requiring people to vote only in precincts where they live, while prohibiting anyone who wasn’t a relative of the voter from hand-delivering mail-in ballots to the polls. The court held that, even though in practice such measures would have a disproportionate effect on non-white voters, as long as a law was technically the same for all voters, it didn’t matter that, in practice, it would become harder for some groups to vote.
Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito declared that states have a different and more important interest in such voting restrictions: preventing voter fraud. In other words — at least in the minds of two-thirds of the present Supreme Court — some version of Donald Trump’s big lie about rigged elections and voter fraud has successfully replaced racist voter suppression as the primary future danger to free and fair elections.
Maybe elections do change something. Otherwise, why, in the wake of the 2020 elections, would “they” (including Republican-controlled state legislatures across significant parts of the country) be so intent on making it ever harder for certain people to vote? And if you think that’s bad, wait until the Supremes rule next year on the fringe legal theory of an “independent state legislature.” We may well see the court decide that a state’s legislature can legally overrule the popular vote in a federal election — just in time for the 2024 presidential race.
The Future Awaits Us
A couple of times a week I talk by phone with another friend. We began doing this at the height of George W. Bush’s and Dick Cheney’s vicious “war on terror.” We’d console each other when it came to the horrors of that conflict, including the illegal invasion of Iraq, the deaths and torture of Iraqi and Afghan civilians, and the seemingly endless expansion of American imperial meddling. We’re still doing it. Somehow, every time we talk, it seems as if the world has travelled one more mile on its way to hell in a handbasket.
Both of us have spent our lives trying, in our own modest fashion, to gum up the works of capitalism, militarism, and authoritarian government. To say that we’ve been less than successful would certainly be understating things. Still, we do keep at it, while discussing what in the world we can still do.
At this point in my life and my country’s slide into authoritarian misery, I often find it hard even to imagine what would be useful. Faced with such political disorientation, I fall back on a core conviction that, when the way forward is unclear, the best thing we can do is give people the experience of achieving in concert what they could never achieve by themselves. Sometimes, the product of an organizing drive is indeed victory. Even when it isn’t though, helping create a group capable of reading a political situation and getting things done, while having one another’s backs, is also a kind of victory.
That’s why, this election season, my partner and I are returning to Reno to join hotel housekeepers, cooks, and casino workers trying to ensure the reelection of two Democrats, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Governor Steve Sisolak, in a state where the margin of Democratic Party victories hasn’t grown since 2012.
From our previous experience, we know one thing: we’ll be working in a well-run campaign that won’t waste anyone’s time and has its eye on the future. As I wroteabout the union’s 2020 presidential campaign for Joe Biden, more than winning a difficult election is at stake. What’s also important is building organized power for working people. In other words, providing the kind of training and leadership development that will send “back to every hotel, restaurant, casino, and airport catering service leaders who can continue to organize and advocate for their working-class sisters and brothers.”
I still hate electoral politics, but you don’t always get to choose the terrain you’re fighting on. Through its machinations at the federal, state, and county level, the Republican Party has been all but screaming its plans to steal the next presidential election. It’s no exaggeration to say that preserving some form of democratic government two years from now depends in part on keeping Republicans from taking over Congress, especially the Senate, this year.
So, it’s back to Reno, where the future awaits us. Let’s hope it’s one we can live with.

The cancellation of the series is a major setback to South Africa's hopes of qualifying directly for the ODI World Cup in India next year. However, it will reportedly free several star Australia Test cricketers to take part in the Big Bash League (BBL)

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has decided to pull out from the One-day International series against Australia in January next year as the three-match fixture is reportedly clashing with their new franchise T20 league.
CSA had earlier asked Cricket Australia (CA) to "reconsider the dates" of the three games originally scheduled between January 12-17, but Australia's cricket governing body announced on Wednesday that they had been unable to find alternative dates to reschedule the series, according to cricket.com.au.
The cancellation of the series is a major setback to South Africa's hopes of qualifying directly for the ODI World Cup in India next year. However, it will reportedly free several star Australia Test cricketers to take part in the Big Bash League (BBL).
The Proteas are currently placed at 11th spot in the ICC ODI team rankings with 49 points and their withdrawal from the series, which is a part of the Super League, will hurt their chances of qualifying directly for the World Cup in India badly.
"The Proteas have effectively forfeited the series, with CSA agreeing that because the matches won't be played before the qualification cut-off date in May (2023), the 30 competition points on offer will be awarded to Australia, pending ICC approval," the cricket.com.au report added.

The top eight teams from the 12 ICC full member countries and the Netherlands will qualify directly for the 50-over World Cup, while the remaining five teams will have a playoff against five Associate sides for the remaining two World Cup slots.
Though South Africa have ODI fixtures against world champions England and India before the May cut-off date, it will be a difficult task to climb out of the bottom five on the Super League table.
Australia currently occupy the seventh spot with 70 points (12 matches). Australia's 2-3 ODI series loss to Sri Lanka recently will have no bearing on their points' status as it was not part of the Super League fixture.
"CA said in a statement there were no alternative dates available to play the series owing to a congested international schedule due to a backlog of postponements during the pandemic, which includes the men's T20 World Cup being hosted by Australia in October-November," the report added.

Putin to meet with Iran, day after US warned Tehran may provide Moscow with drones: Live Ukraine updates
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced he will visit Iran next week, one day after the White House warned Iran could provide Russia with “hundreds” of drones to continue its attack on Ukraine.
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said it was unclear whether Iran had already provided any drones, but said the United States has “information” indicating Iran is preparing to train Russian forces to use them as soon as this month.
Iranian Foreign Minister spokesman Nasser Kanaani did not deny the claim on Tuesday.
"Iran’s cooperation with Russia in some sophisticated technologies dates to before the Russia-Ukraine war," he said. "There has not been any special development in this regard recently."
Putin’s visit will come after U.S. President Joe Biden visits Israel and Saudi Arabia this week, where Iran’s nuclear program will be a key subject of discussion.
Latest developments
►The Ukrainian military on Tuesday reported destroying a Russian ammunition depot in southern Ukraine, resulting in a massive explosion captured on social media, while rescuers said the death toll from a weekend Russian strike in the country’s east grew to 45.
US doctors helping Ukraine medical teams via telehealth
An American health care network is taking an innovative approach to medical care in Ukraine, providing the expertise of its vast roster of specialists to several Ukraine medical centers while also donating hundreds of thousands of dollars in supplies.
Northwell Health, the largest health care provider in New York state, is incorporating the telemedicine system it developed through the COVID pandemic to offer free consultations to medical workers in Ukraine on a 24/7 basis.
Whether they are medics in battlefields, clinicians in war zones or providers caring for wounded soldiers and civilians elsewhere, they can reach Northwell’s experts through a number of web-based platforms, including Whatsapp and Telegram. Read more here.

She shares her journey from when she discovered her interest in the growing issue of antibiotic resistance to her current research developing nanostructured films. Antibiotic resistance is a big crisis that still goes under the radar today.
BBC has reported that by 2050, more people will die from superbugs and antibiotic resistance than cancer. The time to act is now and the first step is to create awareness so that we can still have antibiotics in the future to treat our infections.

A toolkit has been launched to help local authorities and community organisations to deliver local community-led energy planning processes in their areas.
It is hoped the toolkit will ensure community ownership is included in conversations about a just energy transition.
Developed by Carbon Co-op in partnership with the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) and URBED, the toolkit lays out practical advice on how to prepare and deliver a community-led energy planning process and communicate its findings.
Community-led energy planning (CLEP) is an approach which puts local people at the centre of activities that build knowledge, understanding and confidence in lower-income communities, enabling them to influence and benefit from the energy transition.
It was first trialled in 2020 as part of the Oldham Energy Futures project, which worked with Oldham Council to engage with residents in the Sholver and Westwood neighbourhoods to diagnose local energy challenges and opportunities and identify community-led solutions. The lessons learned from this project have informed the toolkit that is now being launched.
Oldham Council deputy leader and cabinet member for finance and low carbon, Cllr Abdul Jabbar, said: “Oldham Energy Futures is a new kind of community energy project – we have never before seen an approach to community engagement on energy issues on this scale.
“The only way we will be able to achieve our Green New Deal ambitions as a borough is by all working together – and the OEF methodology gives us a way to do this.”
The toolkit includes guidance around who to involve and how to recruit them, how to gather data, generate ideas and plan action through participatory workshops and how to create and share a community-led energy action Plan.
Project coordinator and facilitator at Carbon Co-op, Britt Jurgensen, said the toolkit is a response to the huge challenges facing local authorities as they respond to the climate emergency.
“Because the budgets are being cut so immensely, [councils] really struggle not having that kind of additional expertise on their team, to really engage people at a local level,” she said. “At the same time they need to do that because they really badly need the buy-in – they need us as people locally to make those changes, to own them, to to buy into them.
“So, that kind of gap is what this programme was trying to close, and the toolkit is our way of saying, ‘So this is what we tried, how we worked and then this is what we would say if you were to replicate something like that. These are the steps that we propose to take.’”
She added: “We know there are local energy infrastructure planning processes, like local area energy planning (LAEP), but they don’t really provide that piece that connects directly to communities, and particularly to low income communities that might not have the resources or the time to volunteer.”
Recommendations in the toolkit include offering citizens appropriate payment for their time, so that people can take part in energy planning no matter what their financial situation.
The project is one of a number of initiatives from Carbon Co-op to further its long-term vision of an energy transition that is locally shaped and owned by citizens – with the wealth it creates retained in local economies for the benefit of its communities.
In a blog post about the launch of the toolkit, Helen Power, policy and external affairs manager at CLES, wrote: “When we talk of a just transition, the question of ownership must be front and centre.”
The toolkit provides practical resources for future CLEP projects, and also addresses these debates about ownership, she added. “This is an important leap forward – not only for climate action in our places, but for people’s understanding of what a truly just transition could look like.” | https://www.thenews.coop/163772/sector/energy/carbon-co-op-launches-planning-toolkit-for-community-led-energy/ | 2022-07-13T07:07:46Z | https://www.thenews.coop/163772/sector/energy/carbon-co-op-launches-planning-toolkit-for-community-led-energy/ | false | 1 |

A domestic violence suspect led police on a chase across Los Angeles County Tuesday night.
The pursuit originated from West Covina then snaked its way through areas of South Los Angeles on freeways and surface streets.
West Covina police confirmed that the driver of the vehicle was wanted in connection to a domestic violence incident, including domestic rape.
The vehicle reached speeds of more than 100 mph as the driver continued to evade police for more than an hour.
The California Highway Patrol did not immediately engage the pursuit as West Covina police continued their chase.
The driver eventually led law enforcement back to West Covina where police officers engaged with pit maneuvers to stop the vehicle. At one point, the vehicle slid over a center divider and crashed into a pole.
On two occasions the vehicle appeared to be stopped, but then took off as police got into position to bring the driver into custody.
The vehicle ultimately stopped after a police cruiser successfully pushed the fleeing vehicle into a parked car near the intersection of Broadmoor and Workman avenues.
Around 11:10 p.m., despite being surrounded by vehicles on all sides, the driver again attempted to take off, sending smoke and sparks into the air as the tires spun ineffectively.
Police surrounded the vehicle and a SWAT team was called into the scene, but the driver still refused to surrender.
By midnight, the driver remained in the vehicle and police had not yet breached the vehicle in an attempt to take them into custody.

There were tears on and off-screen as the latest episode of Love Island aired on Tuesday night (July 13). It was announced earlier in the day that Jacques O'Neill had decided to leave the villa after a dramatic week on the ITV2 dating show.
A show spokesperson confirmed the news and fans of the show saw the moment the rugby star made his decision last night. He said he needed to "get back to himself" as he revealed he was leaving, just as he appeared to be reconciling with Paige Thorne. Jacques was seen explaining to her that he felt the best thing for their relationship was for him to return home so he could be at his "best" for her.
Jacques and Paige, 24, went for a chat on the terrace alone where he got emotional as he explained that over the past two weeks things had been getting to him. Holding back tears, he said: "I just wish I could finish my journey off with you in here but I’m going to go home today."

His revelation prompted Paige to cry and as they embraced he added: “You’ve got to still enjoy your time here. Just do what you need to do and I’ll be waiting for you.” Through tears, Paige replied: “I don’t want you to go but also I want you to be happy and it hurts me seeing you in this way.”
Jacques added: "I just know for us to work I need us to get back to myself and the only way I’m going to get back to myself is going home." In the beach hut, he admitted: "I’d say in the last week, the only thing keeping me in this place was Paige. That’s the only thing I was staying for. I’ve never felt this way for anyone so I just want to get home, be myself again and carry things on the outside."
He added: "It’s just not fair on the girl she deserves better than me. It’s not the end of me and Paige because everyone knows what she means to me." To announce the news to his fellow islanders, he gathered everyone around the firepit and explained with Paige by his side: "I just feel like lately, I just can’t be myself.
"I’m trying my best but I’m not a fake person and I’m not going to start faking things and act like I’m okay when things inside aren’t actually okay. For me and Paige to work I need to be at my best and if that means removing myself from the situation and waiting for Paige when she gets out then that I’m going to do."
His admission left the other contestants shocked and emotional with his close friend Luca Bish saying "It’s not going to be the same without you" through tears, as Andrew Le Page told him he had "been a brother" to him. Jacques and Luca, 23, later shared an emotional moment where they both cried before embracing one another.
As he prepared to exit, Jacques and Paige shared some final moments alone together before all of the islanders collectively hugged to see him out of the villa. And the whole thing left Love Island viewers in tears and offering Jacques support.
@billycxff tweeted: "To see 2 men crying to eachother on tv i think is super important! Jacques looking out for his own mental health is super admirable #LoveIsland." @Emma48491320 said: "Jacques leaving has me sobbing!!! Poor lad!!!! #LoveIsland."
@chrishansendrums2529 commented: "Was in tears when everyone said goodbye what a sad episode that was." @sophie.l.xx shared: "Massive respect to Jacques for doing what was right for him." @ denni._xo added: "My god I have never cried at love island that was so sad I wish him all the best I really do and I hope Paige stays loyal to him."
Earlier in the episode, Jacques got riled up as the other islanders told him that new arrival Adam Collard had been talking about his behaviour in the villa to Paige. While confronting Paige about the situation he became short with her and rudely told fellow contestant Billy Brown to leave which caused further tension among the couple.
After they discussed his brash response to the situation, he appeared withdrawn and he could later be seen leaving the bedroom in the middle of the night to go sit outside by himself. The next morning Jacques told Luca that he was going to “try and get back to myself” but he finally came to the conclusion that he wanted to leave.

Elon Musk abandons Twitter purchase, faces lawsuit
South African-born tech billionaire Elon Musk has abandoned his plans to acquire Twitter, submitting a filing to end the deal. However, he now faces a lawsuit as Twitter aims to close the deal agreement.
Musk’s decision didn’t come as a surprise to many. In May, the businessman said the deal was on hold pending more details about bot numbers on the site.
Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of usershttps://t.co/Y2t0QMuuyn
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 13, 2022
Some analysts speculated his negative tweets about Twitter were attempts to get a lower purchase price. Musk initially agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion.
However, other analysts predicted that he would abandon the deal entirely.
In a letter to the SEC, Musk’s lawyer said that the billionaire is terminating the merger agreement.
“Mr. Musk is terminating the Merger Agreement because Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement, and is likely to suffer a Company Material Adverse Effect,” the letter says.
Why has Elon Musk terminated the Twitter deal?
But what are the false and misleading representations that Musk is alleging against Twitter?
According to the SEC letter, it comes back to the bot numbers.
Musk says that Twitter’s bot numbers may be higher than what’s publicly disclosed and that the company has not provided the necessary information to him around these numbers.
“While Section 6.4 of the Merger Agreement requires Twitter to provide Mr. Musk and his advisors all data and information that Mr. Musk requests ‘for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transaction,’ Twitter has not complied with its contractual obligations,” the letter says.
“Twitter has failed or refused to provide this information. Sometimes Twitter has ignored Mr. Musk’s requests, sometimes it has rejected them for reasons that appear to be unjustified, and sometimes it has claimed to comply while giving Mr. Musk incomplete or unusable information,” it later adds.
However, Twitter has stuck by its estimation that monetizable daily active users (mDAUs) account for under 5% of total mDAUs.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal shared a lengthy thread in May explaining the methodology that they use to assess the number of spam and bot accounts.
Our actual internal estimates for the last four quarters were all well under 5% – based on the methodology outlined above. The error margins on our estimates give us confidence in our public statements each quarter.
— Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 16, 2022
He also stated that he does not believe that estimates could be calculated externally, as they require private user data.
Twitter lawsuit against Musk
Twitter has announced that the company will be pursuing legal action against Musk. The original deal included a clause that specified a penalty will be paid by Musk if he terminates the agreement.
However, the legal challenge announced by Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor appears to be aimed at pushing the deal through.
The Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr. Musk and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement. We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.
— Bret Taylor (@btaylor) July 8, 2022
In a post on Twitter, Taylor said that the board is committed to closing the deal at the price of Musk’s initial offer ($44 billion).
As a result, the board is filing legal action against Musk.
Whether the lawsuit will succeed, or Musk will just need to pay the $1 billion termination fee, remains to be seen.
Musk is already facing another lawsuit from Twitter shareholders over accusations he has tried to lower the share price.

Arbitration clauses are becoming an increasingly popular way for businesses to resolve disputes. In this article, we will discuss the pros and cons of using arbitration clauses for small businesses. We hope this information will help business owners make informed decisions about whether or not to include arbitration clauses in their contracts.
What are arbitration clauses, and how do they work?
An arbitration clause is a provision in a contract that requires disputes between the parties to be resolved through arbitration instead of litigation. This clause is often included in employment contracts, as it can save the company time and money. If you’re considering whether or not to have an arbitration clause in your contract, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons carefully. On the one hand, arbitration can save you time and money. On the other hand, you may be giving up your right to have your case decided by a judge or jury.
The pros of using arbitration clauses
Control over the arbitrator selection: The ability to choose who arbitrates your case is a significant advantage of arbitration. You can choose someone you trust rather than leave the decision up to a court.
Speed: Arbitration is often much faster than going through the court system. This is especially beneficial if you need to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Cost: One of the biggest benefits of arbitration is the cost savings it offers. In most cases, arbitration costs significantly less than taking a case to court.
No appeals: Unlike in the court system, there is no possibility of an appeal in arbitration.
Privacy: Arbitration is generally kept private. Parties frequently consent to keep the resolution and terms confidential, mainly if they are contentious.
The cons of using arbitration clauses
Limited recourse: Recourse is limited in arbitration cases, meaning that you may not be able to get the justice you deserve.
Biased arbitrator: Arbitrators are not always objective, which means they may not judge your case objectively. An arbitrator could have a previous business relationship or even be bribed by one party for a favorable outcome, such as in the alleged bribery of arbitrator Marc J. Goldstein by Goldman Sachs.
Lack of transparency: There is a lack of transparency in the arbitration process, meaning that you may not know what is happening with your case.
How to decide if arbitration clauses are right for your business
The question of whether to include arbitration clauses in your business contracts is a difficult one, but the answer depends on what you’re trying to do. Before deciding whether to have an arbitration clause in a contract, businesses should consider the following factors:
The type of dispute: Some disputes, such as those involving fraud or breach of contract, may be better suited for arbitration than others.
The cost: Arbitration can save money versus going to court.
The time commitment: Arbitration can be faster than going to court, depending on the case’s complexity.
The flexibility of the process: Arbitration is generally more flexible than going to court.
By considering these factors, businesses can decide whether arbitration is the right choice for them.
In short, arbitration clauses can be a helpful way for small businesses to resolve disputes quickly and privately. However, it is also important to be aware of the potential drawbacks of using arbitration. | https://newsblaze.com/business/latest-business/the-pros-and-cons-of-using-arbitration-clauses-for-small-businesses_185269/ | 2022-07-13T07:51:50Z | https://newsblaze.com/business/latest-business/the-pros-and-cons-of-using-arbitration-clauses-for-small-businesses_185269/ | true | 1 |

But what makes the report stand out is that its lead author is Arvind Panagariya, the first vice chairman of...

The Edmonds City Council’s Parks and Public Works Committee took a closer look Tuesday night at a request from the City of Lynnwood to have Edmonds share the cost of installing a $507,000 inclusive playground at Meadowdale Playfields — and agreed that more study and discussion were needed before bringing the idea to the full council.
The committee had first been briefed on the proposal during its June 14 meeting, with Edmonds Parks Director Angie Feser discussing a proposed interlocal agreement with the City of Lynnwood to replace the playground equipment, which is 40 years old. Lynnwood has suggested that Edmonds pay 50% of the $507,000 cost. The matter came back before the committee, chaired by Councilmember Neil Tibbott, Tuesday night so it could be reviewed more closely. (Council President Vivian Olson filled in for Councilmember Kristiana Johnson, who was absent.)
The property on which the sports fields and associated park and playground are located — next to both Meadowdale Elementary and Middle Schools — is owned by the Edmonds School District. An interlocal agreement based on a master plan for the site was originally created in 1985, Feser explained, with Edmonds, Lynnwood, the school district and Snohomish County participating.
Renovation of the sports fields was completed in 2017, with Lynnwood covering the majority of the $5.2 million cost. (The City of Edmonds contributed $500,000.)
Attending to provide more detail and answer questions regarding the project was City of Lynnwood Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director Lynn Sordel. He stressed that Lynnwood is committed to moving foward with the project — with or without Edmonds’ financial support — but stressed he believes the facility would serve the needs of Edmonds residents who are frequent users of the facility.
“This improvement is just going to be a fantastic addition to this really popular park,” Sordel said.
In presenting ideas for possible project funding, Feser had suggested the city could take from cost savings in other areas of the parks budget, including $94,500 from the Yost Pool plaster project and $50,000 for a greenhouse replacement that can now be funded with a recent donation from the Goffette estate. Another possibility, she added, is using $104,058 in funds now designated for the Civic Park stormwater mitigation project if that could instead be covered as green infrastructure through federal COVID recovery dollars.
Tibbott expressed some frustration that Lynnwood didn’t include the City of Edmonds earlier in planning for the project — a significant upgrade from what was proposed earlier — noting that Edmonds already has an approved parks budget and several other major parks projects underway. In addition, Tibbott pointed out that Edmonds has its own inclusive playground not too far away — at Seaview Park — opened in 2019.
Councilmember Olson said she feels strongly that the Edmonds School District should also be contributing to the playground replacement, calling it “a major investment and improvement in a school district property that is not owned by either Lynnwood or Edmonds. It continues to bug me a little that there isn’t any contribution from the school district toward this.”
Feser then suggested that all participants — the cities of Lynnwood and Edmonds and the school district — ‘take a bigger picture” look to identify projects needed at the Meadowdale Playfields site over the next 10 years, “as we’re starting to hit some life cycle ends on some big ticket items,” including turf replacement and lights.
“That gives everybody — all entities — the ability (to have) a longer runway to plan for these capital investments and start to incorporate those into our capital facilities programs and then put those monies aside,” Feser said.
A discussion on next steps regarding the playground will come before the council at a later date.
A range of topics were discussed in the two other council committees Tuesday night. One theme that ran through both the Public Safety, Planning, Human Services and Personnel Committee and Finance Committee was hiring — with requests for additional positions or expanding the FTEs of existing staff. The requests will come before the full council for consideration, since they do involve adding additional personnel, but they include the addition of a new public records associate to assist with the increasing volume of public records requests received by city hall, as well as a new public records specialist for the police department. The latter position would specifically address the expected increase in public records workload once all police officers are using body-worn cameras. Police Chief Michelle Bennett explained that body-worn camera footage will be accessible via public records requests, but it does require significant staff time to review prior to public release. There is also a request to expand the police department’s domestic violence coordinator from a half-time to a full-time position and the parking enforcement officer from a three-quarter-time job to full time.
Bennett also mentioned during staffing discussions in both committees that her department does plan to request, as part of the 2023 budget, an additional full-time police officer who would be stationed at the satellite city hall office on Highway 99. Also regarding Highway 99 and criminal activity there, Bennett shared that she plans to add a fourth patrol district to the city, essentially splitting Highway 99 into two districts so police can give the area more attention. “We are working hard in that area,” the police chief said. “We are definitely focusing our efforts there.”
There were sharp exchanges during the Public Safety, Planning, Human Services and Personnel Committee regarding a proposal — submitted by Council President Vivian Olson — to edit the public information officer’s job description “to limit/prohibit…involvement in preparing opinion-based commentary.” Committee members Laura Johnson and Susan Paine both said they had concerns about the suggested changes, which Olson said were aimed at “trying to add clarity” to the public information officer’s role.
“This is a position that serves under the mayor and you are inserting with this wording that is subjective,” Johnson said, adding “it is not clear who is going to be…the deciding factor for when things adhere to the wording you’ve put in here and when they do not.”
Paine added that “one person’s idea of an opinion could be totally appropriate,” pointing in particular to Mayor Mike Nelson’s commentary regarding the council majority’s decision to revisit the 2022 budget.
“I think it’s fair to have that discussion,” Paine said. “That sort of discussion with that opinion and using that forum is appropropriate in my mind because our council meetings are our council meetings and there’s not another forum for the mayor to bring up concerns.”
Olson said she doesn’t have a problem with the mayor expressing his opinion, but added that “the PIO is not the mayor’s mouthpiece. The PIO is the city’s mouthpiece and what comes out of the PIO’s mouth is supposed to be neutral and representing the entire city.”
After more back and forth, Paine proposed the committee keep the proposal on the agenda “one more month for review,” which Johnson seconded.
The committee ran out of time to discuss its final agenda item: Repealing the city’s much-contested gun storage and unauthorized use ordinance, which was invalidated in the courts. That matter is likely to come before the committee during a special meeting soon.
Another topic of discussion in the Finance Committee — with members Diane Buckshnis and Will Chen present — was what to do about business owners who owe the city money. One of these situations involves the city’s Business Improvement District (otherwise known as the Edmonds Downtown Alliance or ED), in which businesses are assessed a quarterly fee. The fees are collected by the city, which keeps the books, and ED uses the money for a range of projects, including marketing, promoting special events, security, beautification and parking.
Pam Stuller of the ED told the committee that 11 businesses have refused to pay their assessments since the Business Improvement District was created in 2013, and they owe about $25,000. Approximately 30 other businesses owe close to $12,000 and she believes much of that is due to pandemic-related financial difficulties that businesses are just now recovering from. City Administrative Services Director Dave Turley also proposed that the city consider assessing a fee to ED to recoup the costs for providing bookkeeping services. That idea generated some concerns from Stuller, who noted that ED operates with a very small budget. The Finance Committee agreed that the city should send out deliquency letters and revisit the issue later in the year.
The Finance Committee also received an update from Turley regarding next steps regarding a recent state audit related to the city’s distribution of federal COVID relief funds.
The audit, released in March 2022, found the city didn’t comply with requirements governing the distribution of pandemic relief funds in 2020.
During fiscal year 2020, the City of Edmonds spent more than $2.1 million in relief program funds. More than $1.3 million of that money was used to establish a program that provided direct assistance payments to local businesses financially affected by COVID-19. In its report, the State Auditor’s Office said that documentation was lacking to ensure that Edmonds businesses receiving COVID grants were eligible for those funds. Responding to the auditor’s concerns, the city hired an external contractor to get additional information from the 172 businesses that received funding to ensure they met revenue loss criteria and were eligible for the assistance payments.
That review identified 29 businesses that had received a total of $235,500 in grants and did not meet the city’s eligibility criteria based on the information they provided. And eight businesses that received a total of $62,000 either did not respond to requests for that information or provide the city with the additional financial information requested.
In its response to the audit, the City of Edmonds said it would be “exploring various remedies that may be available and appropriate, including but not limited to civil suits and criminal prosecution,” to recover the money noted in the auditor’s report.
During Tuesday’s Finance Committee meeting, Turley explained that the city’s review identified 33 businesses that didn’t meet eligibility requirements. The city will be sending letters requesting the businesses reimburse the city for the relief money, totaling $268,500. “We’re hoping that a lot of them comply,” Turley said. For those who don’t respond, the city can take them to either criminal or civil court, he added.

Your responsibility: The best advice on ... masks
By Melissa Cunningham and Timna Jacks
What can we do as individuals to combat the winter COVID-19 wave? In the first part of our special series, the health team asks experts for the best advice on masks.
State Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas “strongly recommends” Victorians wear masks indoors and in crowded places, but there will be no mandate, except on public transport and in medical settings or indoors if you’re a close contact.
So how do people decide what to do? And what’s the best advice for individuals, given the COVID-19 fatigue?
According to health experts, the best advice is that every Victorian, including children over the age of eight, should wear industrial respirators such as N95 or P1 masks.
They should be worn in indoor settings that attract large crowds but have poor ventilation, from shopping centres to supermarkets, restaurants and on public transport.
They say cloth and surgical masks, while better than no mask at all, are still poor filters of small airborne COVID-19 particles, raising the risk of an infection with the BA.5 subvariant of Omicron, which is fuelling the latest wave.
Cloth masks leave a person 13 times more likely to contract an influenza-like infection than surgical masks, one study of 1600 Vietnamese healthcare workers shows.
“No gaps,” Melbourne University epidemiologist Nancy Baxter said when asked about which masks people should use. “But any mask is better than none.”
The more tightly fitting P2 or N95 masks are available at hardware stores, supermarkets and chemists. But if only medical masks are available, wearing a cloth mask over the surgical mask or “double masking” can provide added protection. Knotting the ear loops before tying them around the ears can also reduce gaps, one study shows.
Professor of biostatistics and epidemiology at the University of South Australia Adrian Esterman said he wore a mask in crowded outdoor settings where he could not safely socially distance, such as football matches. He also wore one recently in a cinema and wears one in a restaurant until he sits down.
Masks matter
- Everyone over the age of eight should wear an N95, P1 or P2 mask in crowded indoor settings.
- Good-quality, fitted masks reduce your risk of COVID infection by two thirds.
- Cloth and surgical masks are better than no mask, but are poor filters of airborne COVID particles.
- If only medical masks are available, wear a cloth mask over the surgical mask for added protection.
“Basically, any time you are walking through a crowd of strangers you should be wearing a mask,” he said.
Esterman said there was general scientific consensus that wearing a mask was beneficial to curbing the spread of the BA.5 variant, but it was difficult to obtain exact figures because “it’s almost impossible to do a randomised control trial of face mask wearing.
“But the trials that have been done show that ... if you’re wearing a good-quality mask, like an N95, you’re basically two-thirds less likely to get infected.”
A non-infected person wearing a fitted mask has up to 75 per cent reduced chance of catching COVID-19, separate research shows.
Esterman said N95 or P2 masks were superior to cloth or surgical masks for two key reasons: they have a higher degree of filtration and they do not let airborne particles escape because they fit the face better.
Baxter said the Omicron subvariant outbreak would be more contained in Victoria if more people were wearing masks.
She cited a study of 20 million people across six continents that found mask wearing reduces the effective reproductive number – or the average number of people an initial case infects in a population – by 19 per cent.
“What I’m asking everyone to do is to look at what you’re doing and think about what you could do that’s a little safer in terms of COVID-19 spreading,” she said.

NASA's Webb reveals cosmic cliffs, glittering landscape of star birth | See breathtaking pics
The world is getting its first glimpse of the full capabilities of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration with ESA and CSA. The first full-color images and spectroscopic data from the telescope were released during a televised broadcast from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt.
The world is getting its first glimpse of the full capabilities of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). The first full-color images and spectroscopic data from the telescope were released during a televised broadcast from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. EDT (14:30 UTC).
Carina Nebula
This scene of "mountains" and "valleys" dotted with brilliant stars is really the edge of the Carina Nebula's adjacent, young, star-forming area known as NGC 3324. This image, captured in infrared light by NASA's new James Webb Space Telescope, exposes previously unseen areas of star formation for the first time.
Webb's supposedly three-dimensional image, titled the Cosmic Cliffs, resembles jagged mountains on a moonlight evening. In actuality, it is the edge of NGC 3324's massive, gaseous cavity, and the highest "peaks" in this view are around 7 light-years high. The strong UV radiation and stellar winds from extremely large, hot, young stars situated in the core of the bubble, above the area visible in this image, have cut the cavernous area from the nebula.

Southern Ring Nebula
For millions of years, the dimmer star at the centre of this image has been sending out rings of gas and dust in all directions, and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has shown for the first time that this star is shrouded in dust.
Two cameras aboard Webb obtained the most recent photograph of this planetary nebula, known colloquially as the Southern Ring Nebula and catalogued as NGC 3132. It is around 2,500 light-years distant.
Webb will help astronomers to learn more about planetary nebulae like this one, which are clouds of gas and dust ejected by dead stars. Understanding which molecules are present and where they are located within the shells of gas and dust can aid researchers in refining their understanding of these things.

SMACS 0723
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has created the most detailed and clear infrared picture of the cosmos to date. This image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb's First Deep Field, is rich in detail. Thousands of galaxies, including the tiniest infrared objects yet detected, have appeared in Webb's perspective for the first time. This sliver of the huge cosmos takes up about the size of a grain of sand held at arm's length by someone on the ground.

Stephan's Quintet
Stephan's Quintet, a beautiful collection of five galaxies, is well recognised for its appearance in the holiday classic film "It's a Wonderful Life." Today, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope sheds fresh insight on Stephan's Quintet. This massive mosaic, which covers almost one-fifth of the Moon's diameter, is Webb's biggest image to date. It has about 150 million pixels and is made up of over 1,000 different picture files. Webb's findings shed fresh light on how galactic interactions may have influenced galaxy evolution in the early cosmos.
Webb's strong infrared vision and exceptionally high spatial resolution reveal previously unseen elements in this galaxy group. The picture is adorned with sparkling clusters of millions of newborn stars and starburst areas of new star formation. Gravitational interactions are pulling sweeping tails of gas, dust, and stars from many galaxies. Webb records massive shock waves when one of the galaxies, NGC 7318B, smashes into the cluster.

Archaeological worker dies suddenly while in Kisatchie National Forest
Officials suspect death was heat-related
NATCHITOCHES PARISH, La. (KSLA) - A 24-year-old archaeological worker with the Shreveport Cultural Resource Analysts died suddenly from a medical event Monday, July 11, the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office says.
It happened in the Kisatchie National Forest-Kisatchie District within the parish.
Around 2:15 p.m., multiple law enforcement agents responded to reports that a female hiker was possible suffering from heat exhaustion or a stroke on Forest Service Road #321 Bayou Camp Road off Longleaf Vista in the forest. While first responders were trying to get to the location, two coworkers were performing CPR on the woman until help could arrive. Medical personnel arrived on scene and continued CPR for a time, but determined the woman had died.
The Natchitoches Parish Coroner’s Office was notified, and the woman was identified as Kaylen Eileen Gehrke, 24, formerly of Missoula, Mont. She had recently moved to Longview, Texas, with her parents.
Gehrke’s parents say she was a 2016 graduate of Golden High School in Golden, Colo. She then earned a bachelor’s degree in forensic anthropology with a minor in Spanish-English bilingual from the University of Montana.
Officials do not believe there was any foul play involved in her death. Her body is being transported to Shreveport for an autopsy. Officials believe her death may be heat-related.
Deputies report that it was Gehrke’s first day on the job; she and her two co-workers were conducting an archaeological survey of Kisatchie National Forest for the U.S. Forest Service when she fell ill.
NWS Shreveport says at 2:15 p.m. Monday, it was 98° outside in Natchitoches, with a heat index of more than 107°.
Gehrke is survived by her parents, Ronald and Betsy, and her sister, Kylie.
TIPS TO PREVENT HEAT ILLNESS
- Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.
- Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments.
- Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 911.

TOKYO — Japanese police said Wednesday they have found a number of what they believe are bullet marks on a building near the site of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's assassination last week in western Japan, apparently from the first shot fired from a suspect's powerful homemade gun that narrowly missed Abe.
Abe, the country's longest-serving prime minister who remained influential even after stepping down two years ago for health reasons, was gunned down Friday during a campaign speech near a crowded train station in Nara.
A bullet from a second shot, fired seconds after the first from behind Abe, fatally struck him just as he turned around, apparently in reaction to the initial explosive sound.
The suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, was arrested on the spot Friday. He can be detained for police investigation for up to three weeks before prosecutors decide whether to formally charge him with murder.
On Wednesday, police found what they believe are several bullet marks in the wall of a building about 90 meters (yards) away from the assassination site. Police said they believe the bullets, or fragments of the bullets, from the first shot hit the wall after narrowly missing Abe and piercing through an election vehicle parked nearby. The bullet marks on the wall and in the vehicle match, police said, suggesting they were fired from the same weapon.
Police confiscated the homemade gun that the suspect used to kill Abe when he was arrested. The taped-up 40-centimeter (16-inch) double-barrel gun made of two iron pipes was designed to release several bullets per shot, police said. Police also confiscated several other similar weapons from the suspect's apartment.
Police and Japanese media have suggested that the suspected assassin decided to kill Abe after seeing reports about his ties to the Unification Church. The suspect reportedly was upset because his mother's massive donations to the church had bankrupted the family.
The assassination of Abe has shed a light on his and his governing party's links to the Unification Church, which is known for its conservative and anti-communist stances and its mass weddings.
Tomihiro Tanaka, head of the Japanese branch of the South Korean-based church, confirmed on Monday that Yamagami's mother was a member. Tanaka said Abe was not a member but may have spoken to groups affiliated with the church.
Police this week inspected a building related to the church in Nara after the suspect told investigators he had test-fired a homemade gun the day before the assassination to figure out how powerful it would be. They found several holes in the wall of an unrelated office next door, which the suspect might have believed were part of the church, police said.
Abe's assassination has shaken Japan, one of the world's safest nations with some of the strictest gun laws. Police have acknowledged possible lapses in guarding Abe and announced plans to set up a taskforce to review safety procedures.
Hundreds of people, some in formal dark suits, filled sidewalks outside Zojoji temple in downtown Tokyo to bid farewell to Abe, whose nationalistic views drove the governing party's conservative policies. | https://www.startribune.com/japan-police-find-bullet-marks-near-abe-assassination-site/600189775/ | 2022-07-13T08:54:06Z | https://www.startribune.com/japan-police-find-bullet-marks-near-abe-assassination-site/600189775/ | false | 31 |
When it comes to luxurious fashion, no one does it better than the the Duchess of Cambridge herself. Over the years, members of the British monarchy have made names for themselves as fashion game changers, as royal wedding gowns and coronation frocks continue to make history.
Some of the most memorable royal dresses over the years have been Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, or the Queen’s coronation gown . However, aside from these big names from the royal wardrobe, the Duchess has worn a number of lavish outfits over the years that have been given less attention.
In March, earlier this year, Kate Middleton attended a dinner hosted by the Governor General of Jamaica in Kingston, along with her husband Prince William. To attend the dinner, Kate sported a lavish green down with frill detailing. Ever since, fashionistas and royalists alike have been keen to discover where they can buy this beautiful dress.

Luckily, this gown is now available to buy via FarFetch.com - the Jenny Packham designer frock will set you back a hefty £3,777, and it has already been flying off the shelves. Many sizes only have one dress still available, as Kate's admirers add the ballgown to their shopping baskets.
This dark green ballgown is embellished with crystals, with gathered detailing, a floor length full skirt and tulle netting. When it comes to fashion and style, Kate is just like Her Majesty the Queen - the two women are both fans of vibrant, block colours, and are known to splash out with extravagant gowns.
Duchess Kate often opts for bright colours and has been spotted in yellows, blues, greens, blues, and pinks. However, the Duchess has been known to avoid the colour orange in her wardrobe choices - Kate has only been spotted in a radiant tangerine hue a handful of times.
It goes without saying that Kate is renowned for her effortless dress sense, and she’s regularly seen sporting expensive fits from her favourite designer Alexander McQueen. Despite this, Kate Middleton doesn’t always opt for designers - she sometimes chooses to shop in regular places like the rest of us and has even been spotted shopping in Sainsbury's in the past.

Team India bowler Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed concern with the direction that the One Day International (ODI) format has taken in the recent past.
The emergence of T20 cricket and the franchise-based model that comes with it have made the 50-over format irrelevant as of late.
There has been a drastic decrease in competitive ODIs over the last couple of years. While slight changes have been made to the powerplay structure, the format arguably needs a lot of tweaks for it to be revived in time.
Having represented India in 113 ODI matches, R Ashwin acknowledged the drastic decrease in the quality of 50-over matches. The 35-year-old said on the Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club podcast:
"Even me, as a cricket badger and a cricket nut, I switch off the TV after a point and that's frankly very scary for the format of the game. When those ebbs and flows go missing, it's not cricket anymore. It's just an extended form of T20.
Ashwin added:
"It's a question of relevance and I think ODI cricket needs to find its relevance. It needs to find its spot."
The ICC tried to spur up the relevance of the format with the introduction of the ODI World Cup Super League.
However, the format of the tournament makes it far from enticing, leaving only multi-nation tournaments like the World Cup and the Champions Trophy as havens for the ODI format.
Stressing that the roller-coaster experience that came during the peak of ODI cricket was its selling point, Ashwin added:
"The greatest beauty of one-day cricket is - sorry, was - the ebbs and flows of the game. People used to bide their time and take the game deep. The one-day format used to be a format where bowlers had a say."
The Eoin Morgan-led England team's brand of aggressive cricket has left an impression on several sides. Going hard from the word go takes bowlers out of the game, who are already sidelined with small boundaries and massive bats.
"I think one ball is something that would work" - R Ashwin on how to revive ODI cricket
The concept of using two new balls from each end was introduced in ODI cricket in 2011. While it has protected the white ball from wear and tear, the ploy has effectively ruled more turn for spinners and reverse swing for pacers out of the equation.
Claiming that cricket balls these days hardly show any movement, Ashwin said:
"I think one ball is something that would work and spinners would come into the game to bowl more at the back end. Reverse swing might come back in, which is crucial for the game."
He concluded:
"I would also say we need to go back to the ball we used around 2010 - I don't think we use the same ones anymore! As I grew up, I watched the one-day sport and, although Glenn McGrath was an amazing bowler, the ball is definitely not doing as much as it used to!"
The decline in ODI cricket could be embodied after Jasprit Bumrah expressed his surprise to see the white ball swinging in his record spell of 6-19 at The Oval against England yesterday (July 12).
Furthermore, with England recording close to 500 runs in an innings and South Africa conceding an entire ODI series for the sake of their new T20 franchise league, shows the current state of the format. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/news-i-switch-tv-point-r-ashwin-addresses-worrying-monotonous-pattern-odi-cricket | 2022-07-13T09:10:55Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/news-i-switch-tv-point-r-ashwin-addresses-worrying-monotonous-pattern-odi-cricket | true | 1 |
Parts of south Gujarat and Kutch-Saurashtra regions received very heavy showers in last 24 hours leaving 14 people dead, while over 31,000 were evacuated so far this rainy season, officials said on Wednesday. Three national highways in Kutch, Navsari and Dang districts were blocked due to damage caused by rains. Fifty one state highways and over 400 panchayat roads have also been damaged, state Disaster Management Minister Rajendra Trivedi told reporters.
"Fourteen people lost their lives in the last 24 hours. Nine of the deaths were due to drowning," he said.
Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has directed the administration to carry out a survey of the affected districts at the earliest so that people do not have to wait for long for cash and other reliefs to compensate for damages caused due to the rainfall, he said.
In four hours between 6 and 10 am on Wednesday, parts of Junagadh, Gir Somnath, Dang and Amreli received downpour between 47 mm and 88 mm, according to the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC).
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a 'red alert', predicting heavy rains during the next 24 hours in the districts of Saurashtra and south Gujarat.
Several parts of Kutch, Bharuch, Dang, Navsari and Tapi districts in south Gujarat received very heavy rainfall in the 24-hour period till 6 am on Wednesday.
Rajkot, Gir Somnath, Amreli and Jamnagar were among districts in Saurashtra region that received heavy downpour, officials of the SEOC said.
Trivedi said 31,035 people were shifted to safer places, with 21,094 still living in shelters provided by the respective district administrations and 9,941 returning to their homes after the rain waters receded.
A total of 575 people stranded due to flooding in low-lying areas of different districts were rescued, he said.
Eighteen teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) were deployed for the rescue work and two kept on standby, Trivedi said.
CM Patel had on Tuesday conducted an aerial inspection of flood-hit areas and also visited affected regions in Chhota Udepur, Navsari and Narmada districts.
The heavy rains have also risen the water levels of various reservoirs in the state, with 30 of them being filled up to 70 per cent or more out of their total storage capacity.
The state's largest Sardar Sarovar Dam is also filled up to 48 per cent of its total capacity, the minister said.
As per the SEOC, Vagra taluka in Bharuch district received 233 mm rainfall in the 24-hour period till 6 am on Wednesday.
Anjar, Kutch and Gandhidham talukas of Kutch district received 212, 197 and 171 mm of rainfall, respectively, while Waghai in Dang recorded 174 mm of rainfall.
As many as 25 talukas received 100 mm or more rainfall during the period, the SEOC said.

By Arun Pratap Singh
Dehradun, 11 Jul: Even as the Congress party in Uttarakhand was attempting to get over the shock of its three leaders joining the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), it was in for another shock when several Congress leaders suddenly started gathering at Congress leader Harak Singh Rawat’s residence.
Harak Singh Rawat, who has maintained a very low profile since the state assembly elections, suddenly made news today when several Congress leaders including Pritam Singh, Vijaypal Sajwan, Raj Kumar, Bhuwan Kapri and Lal Chand Sharma reached his house. Soon after, the media too gathered outside his house in Defence Colony.
Rawat described the meeting as a courtesy meeting to discuss the political situation and how to strengthen the party, but speculation has begun whether Rawat was preparing to switch parties once more. It may be recalled that Rawat has switched parties in his political career at the drop of a hat. Beginning his political career with BJP in undivided Uttar Pradesh and becoming an MLA in 1991 and a minister, he switched over to Congress and became a minister in the ND Tiwari Government but had to quit because of the Jenny scandal. However, he lost interest in Congress to join the BSP but did not stay in that party for long and returned to the Congress. He became the Leader of the Opposition in 2007 and a minister in the Congress Government in 2012. However, he quit Congress in 2016 and joined the BJP. He became a minister in the BJP Government led by Trivendra Singh Rawat but, just months before the elections, he was thrown out by the BJP and he joined the Congress again. However, he did not contest the elections but made his daughter-in-law Anukriti Gusain Rawat the Congress candidate but she lost. Since then, Rawat has been in oblivion. It was after several months that Rawat made the headlines today. Speculation is rife whether he would be the next Congress leader to quit the Congress party and join AAP. Some sources even claim that he could call on the top BJP leadership and join that party once again. However, the way several senior Congress leaders including some elected MLAs like Pritam Singh and Bhuwan Kapri visited him, such an outcome does not appear likely anytime soon, even if Harak Singh Rawat is known to be unpredictable in this respect.
Speaking to the media, Rawat claimed that the meeting was merely a courtesy call by the party leaders. However, in the same vein, he added that Congress appeared to be weak in Uttarakhand as well as across the country. He also took a jibe at veteran party leader Harish Rawat, who he accused of behaving like a new leader these days. Be it the country or the state, democracy could remain strong only with a strong opposition. When asked why he had been keeping a distance from Congress programmes, he said he had taken out time for some personal reflection because his past twenty years had been very busy. | https://garhwalpost.in/harak-singh-fires-salvo-at-cong-veteran-harish-rawat-party/ | 2022-07-13T09:20:20Z | https://garhwalpost.in/harak-singh-fires-salvo-at-cong-veteran-harish-rawat-party/ | false | 1 |
Coalition questions axing pandemic subsidies as virus surges
The federal government has been caught on the back foot over its handling of pandemic support as the Coalition signalled it would have reconsidered the deadline to axe the sick-pay safety net and free rapid antigen tests were it still in power amid a worsening winter wave.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Treasurer Jim Chalmers advised pensioners on Wednesday to stockpile rapid tests before the subsidy runs out at the end of the month, as the government continues to defend abiding by the June 30 cut-off date for the $750 pandemic leave disaster payment.
Albanese told ABC radio that, as well as a $1 trillion debt, his government inherited the decision to end free tests for pensioners from the previous government.
But opposition health spokeswoman Anne Ruston accused the government of being “extremely hypocritical” after promising during the election “they were going to make things easier and better for Australians”.
“Taking these three support measures out at a time when we’re seeing a massive wave of COVID hit Australians, you would have to question the honesty and the integrity of that,” Ruston said.
Health authorities are bracing for a surge of illnesses with projections the current Omicron variants will cause more hospitalisations than the summer spread. The union movement, industry groups and doctors are calling for the reintroduction of a sick pay safety net to help prevent infections.
“The question is around the timing,” Ruston said, adding the pandemic payment was issued so sick people wouldn’t feel the urge to go to work. “We put the supports and subsidies in place for Australians at a time when we were seeing the first Omicron wave go through in December and January, and we were responding to the conditions that were on the ground at that time.”
She said they were “obviously” temporary measures, “but as we have done right the way through the pandemic, we need to be responding to what’s happening on the ground at the time, and things have changed and we’ve seen another wave go through”.
“It’s incumbent on governments to respond to the conditions that are on the ground, and the conditions right now are very similar to the conditions at the time we made these decisions to extend [the supports] back in December,” Ruston said.
The senator, who was the social services minister under former prime minister Scott Morrison, called on the government to reveal the basis for its decision to remove the subsidies: “Was it a budget decision or was it a health decision?”
Health Minister Mark Butler didn’t directly answer a question about whether health advice was sought before following through with the decision to end the rapid test subsidy, however, he said the prices of the tests had reduced significantly since the time the program was introduced.
“The program was set up at a time when it was borderline impossible to obtain RATs and those who were lucky enough were paying close to $30,” he said, adding free tests were still available at state clinics or the 129 federally supported respiratory clinics, as well as aged care and schools.
Albanese told ABC radio there was ample time for concession cardholders to get the 10 free rapid antigen tests they were eligible for by the end of June.
In his Logan electorate on Wednesday, Chalmers repeated the prime minister’s advice, and said budgetary constraints prevented the government from continuing with the payments, despite mounting pressure from sections of the community.
“We will continue to take the advice of the medical profession and others to make sure that we are
providing support where we affordably can,” he said.
“But we have tried to be up-front with people and say that some of these important programs that have existed in the recent past, which are designed to end in the near future, we can’t afford to extend all of them.” | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/politics/federal/coalition-questions-axing-pandemic-subsidies-as-virus-surges-20220713-p5b1bm.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_politics_federal | 2022-07-13T09:22:29Z | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/politics/federal/coalition-questions-axing-pandemic-subsidies-as-virus-surges-20220713-p5b1bm.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_politics_federal | false | 8 |

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) has registered 100 million tonnes (MT) of cargo throughput in the first 99 days of fiscal 2022-23 — that is, till July 8, 2022.
The company said it took a year to achieve the same milestone in 2014.
This demonstrates the rapidly improving efficiency of APSEZ, it said.
"When APSEZ’s operations spanned five ports, it took 14 years for the company to achieve 100 MT of annual cargo throughput. In the following five years and with operations across nine ports, APSEZ doubled cargo throughput to 200 MT. We then achieved the milestone of 300 MT in just three years. We are now poised to grow our cargo volumes by 60 per cent to 500 MT by 2025 and emerge as the world’s largest port operator by 2030," said Karan Adani, Chief Executive Officer and whole-time director of APSEZ.
The company said APSEZ was able to handle 100 MT cargo volume due to tech innovations that integrate conventional business processes with new-age digital technologies.
It listed other contributing factors such as improved efficiencies in fleet and fuel management, asset monitoring, operational intelligence and performance monitoring of applications.
The company has increased its cargo throughput year after year. It reached the 100-MT cargo throughput mark in 109 days last year, APSEZ said.

Woman, child killed when boat capsizes in NYC’s Hudson River
Published: Jul. 13, 2022 at 5:21 AM EDT|Updated: 11 minutes ago
NEW YORK (AP) - New York City officials say a woman and a 7-year-old child were killed when the chartered boat capsized in the Hudson River.
Nearby ferries rushed to the scene to help police and fire department rescuers get people out of the water.
Twelve people went into the water, and three others were critically injured, including the captain.
Victims became trapped beneath the boat when it flipped Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities say the boat was chartered by a group of family and friends, and its owner was following behind on a personal watercraft.
Investigators plan to look at the water conditions and the boat’s capacity to determine what went wrong.

The presence of microplastics in agricultural fields and crops in two districts of Bihar has become a cause of concern as it can lead to various diseases in humans, an official said.
The plastic wastes that accumulate in environment are broken down into smaller fragments and particles under physical, chemical or biological action, gradually forming microplastics (MPs).
The MPs, tiny materials less than 5 mm in diametre, are regarded as a major source of plastic pollution in the environment. They are called microplastics and it cannot be seen with the naked eye.
"Because of the extensive use plastics, the MPs have become a global environmental issue," State Pollution Control Board chairperson Ashok Kumar Ghosh told PTI.
"Recent studies reveal the presence of MPs in agricultural fields as well as crops in Bhagalpur and Buxar. It's a matter of serious concern," he said.
Due to human activities, such as plastic mulching, sewage, fertiliser coatings and littering, soil has become the largest reservoir of the MPs, according to the chairperson.
The MPs and nanoplastics (NPs) have been exposed to humans via various pathways, such as tap and bottled water, beverages, seafood, milk, salt, fruits and vegetables.
There are reports that suggest that the MPs can enter into blood cells of the human body, and can cause organ toxicity and dysfunctional metabolic activities, resulting in carcinogenic disease, he said.
The professor underlined that the consumption of MPs was significantly associated with diseases like infertility, obesity, cancer and others.
Ghosh, who also heads the research centre at the Mahavir Cancer Institute in Patna, said a study would be conducted soon to quantify the presence of MPs in farmland soils in these two districts.
He stressed on the need to conduct more studies to focus on the damage mechanism at the molecular and cellular level due to consumption of the MPs and the NPs.
Data gaps related to the potential NPs formation in the gastrointestinal tract of humans should be considered, the official said. "Research on human health due to ingestion or inhalation of the MPs and the NPs has been getting attention recently."
Ghosh urged people to also come forward and support the agencies in enforcing the recent ban on 'single-use plastic' announced by the Union government.

Johnny Depp's Team Argues Against Amber Heard's Request To Dismiss Verdict In Defamation Case
A month after the defamation trial's verdict was given in Johnny Depp's favour, Amber Heard's team filed for Virgina judge to set aside the verdict in the defamation case and begin a fresh trial due to mistaken identity of one of the jurors. Now, Depp's team has urged that the request be denied.
Johnny Depp Takes A Dig At Amber Heard In New Songs In Album With Jeff Beck
According to reports, Depp's lawyers have said that it's too late for Amber's team to object over the juror's identity. They said that if her team had concerns, they should have spoken up at the time of the trial. Notably, Heard's team has claimed that among the seven jurors, one was misidentified and should not have been on the team.
While summons went out to a 77-year-old man, his 52-year-old son was part of the jury for the defamation case. Johnny's lawyers have claimed that arguments from Amber's team are nonsensical and unfounded and added that her team's complaints about the juror's identity are irrelevant. Judge Penney Azcarate is yet to reveal if she plans to hold a hearing to hear arguments on the motions to set aside the verdict.
The verdict requires Amber to pay $10.35 Million to Johnny over the 2018 op-ed piece she wrote in The Washington Post about domestic violence. Meanwhile, the jury had ordered Johnny to pay $2 Million to Amber on her counterclaim that she was defamed by one of his attorneys after he called her allegations a hoax.
Earlier in June, Amber's lawyer Elaine Charlson Bredhoft had already hinted that the actor will not be able to pay a massive sum of $ 8 Million to Johnny. Workwise, the actress is waiting for the release of Aquaman 2 and Johnny gearing up for the launch of his new album with Jeff Beck. He will also begin filming for his debut French film, later this year. | https://www.filmibeat.com/hollywood/news/2022/johnny-depp-s-team-argues-against-amber-heard-s-request-to-dismiss-verdict-in-defamation-case-337635.html | 2022-07-13T09:40:31Z | https://www.filmibeat.com/hollywood/news/2022/johnny-depp-s-team-argues-against-amber-heard-s-request-to-dismiss-verdict-in-defamation-case-337635.html | true | 2 |
Indians have a way of doing things their own way, and it can be quite different from how the rest of the world does it. Desis tend to be believers of “tough love" and just like any other country, India has its own set of idiosyncrasies. Cultural differences between different countries are not just interesting, but can also be funny sometimes. The India vs US flag memes play on that element and they are back on Twitter once more. For instance, where Americans may take a pill for a headache, Desis might opt for some tea; while English is a language in the US, it’s a skill in India; and when it comes to couples and some good old PDA in India as opposed to that in the US, the lesser said the better. Literally.
Desis are also big proponents of the “my way or the highway" philosophy, and they’re “like this only". While in some cases it might be endearing, in some others it might not be that innocuous. Either way, humour can drive home important social messages or amuse you as you go about your way.
For instance, during Pride month this year, queer people hit back at the brands, big corporates and other rainbow capitalists who have all this while co-opted their struggles. Twitter was full of a meme template that popped up as a rebuttal to this practice. People start off the tweet with a very legitimate concern faced by marginalized people but by the end of it, they satirize the “partnering" practice.

Former senior US official John Bolton admits to planning attempted foreign coups
>> Reuters
Published: 13 Jul 2022 01:05 PM BdST Updated: 13 Jul 2022 01:05 PM BdST
John Bolton, a former US ambassador to the United Nations and former White House national security adviser, said on Tuesday that he had helped plan attempted coups in foreign countries.
Bolton made the remarks to CNN after the day's congressional hearing into the Jan 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. The panel's lawmakers on Tuesday accused former President Donald Trump of inciting the violence in a last-ditch bid to remain in power after losing the 2020 election.
Speaking to CNN anchor Jake Tapper, however, Bolton suggested Trump was not competent enough to pull off a "carefully planned coup d'etat," later adding: "As somebody who has helped plan coups d'etat - not here but you know (in) other places - it takes a lot of work. And that's not what he (Trump) did."
Tapper asked Bolton which attempts he was referring to.
"I'm not going to get into the specifics," Bolton said, before mentioning Venezuela. "It turned out not to be successful. Not that we had all that much to do with it but I saw what it took for an opposition to try and overturn an illegally elected president and they failed," he said.
In 2019, Bolton as national security adviser publicly supported Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido's call for the military to back his effort to oust socialist President Nicolas Maduro, arguing that Maduro's re-election was illegitimate. Ultimately Maduro remained in power.
"I feel like there's other stuff you're not telling me (beyond Venezuela)," the CNN anchor said, prompting a reply from Bolton: "I'm sure there is."
Many foreign policy experts have over the years criticised Washington's history of interventions in other countries, from its role in the 1953 overthrowing of then Iranian nationalist prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and the Vietnam war, to its invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan this century.
But it is highly unusual for US officials to openly acknowledge their role in stoking unrest in foreign countries.
"John Bolton, who's served in highest positions in the US government, including UN ambassador, casually boasting about he's helped plan coups in other countries," Dickens Olewe, a BBC journalist from Kenya, wrote on Twitter.

Rising inflation has been the story of 2022, reaching roughly 8.5% in the latest report. To fight it, the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates and cutting back on the money supply – but that has an immediate effect of strengthening the dollar, which will negatively impact corporate earnings in the overseas markets. Morgan Stanley chief U.S. equity strategist Mike Wilson sees the strong dollar as a headwind that can’t be dodged, at least not for long, and expects the stock market will contin

Wells Fargo Macro Strategist Erik Nelson joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the recent moves in the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, and other currencies.
The Federal Reserve is ignoring signs of deflation as it continues its aggressive interest rate-hike plan to combat inflation and will soon be forced to make a dovish pivot, star stock picker Cathie Wood of Ark Invest said in a webinar on Tuesday. "The market has figured out the Fed is making a mistake," Wood said, leaving U.S. stocks "in a bottoming process." Wood, whose ARK Innovation ETF was the top-performing fund of 2020 thanks to bets on companies like Zoom Video Communications Inc which soared during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic, cited declines in copper, oil and gold prices as signs that fears of sustained inflation are overblown.

Global Automotive Silicone Market (2022 to 2027) - Increasing Demand for High Efficiency and Lightweight Materials in the Automotive Industry is Driving Growth
Global Automotive Silicone Market
Dublin, July 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Automotive Silicone Market by Type (Elastomers, Gels, Resins, Fluids), Application (Interior & Exterior, Engines, Electrical, Tires), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, South America) - Global Forecasts to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global automotive silicone market size is projected to grow from USD 2.2 billion in 2022 to USD 3.1 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 7.1% between 2022 and 2027.
Rising demand from emerging markets and growth of transportation industry globally are expected to offer significant growth opportunities to manufacturers of automotive silicone.
Electrical segment accounted for the second largest share in the automotive silicone market in terms of value.
The electrical segment had a share of 27.7% in the overall automotive silicone market, in terms of value, in 2021. Silicones are used in ignition cables, also known as spark plug wires which are a part of the ignition system. They transfer the spark from the distributor or ignition coil to spark plugs that ignite the air-fuel mixture, starting the engine. These spark plug wires are insulated with multiple layers of silicone to prevent jumping of sparks to adjacent wires and causing misfires.
Engines is the second fastest growing automotive silicone application.
Radiator sealant in engines is a chemical that is applied to the radiator wall and forms a coating around it to prevent leakage. Automotive silicone is one of the most versatile material that is used in radiator seals. Automotive silicones are available in various forms, such as sealant, tape, and epoxy. Automotive silicone seals are more used as they last longer than the rubber seals that are present in the market.
Europe is estimated to be the second-largest market for automotive silicone
Europe is the second-largest market for automotive silicone. Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and the UK are the major countries in the European automotive silicone market. The region has a strong industrial base in developed economies such as the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and Germany. The trend of reducing vehicle weight to increase fuel efficiency is driving the market for automotive silicones in the transportation industry in Europe. Germany was the largest market for automotive silicones in Europe in 2021. The key reason for Germany being the largest automotive silicones market in the region is the presence of a huge automobile industry in the country.

Euro and US Dollar now reach equal value
Ghana cedi struggles against major trading currencies
Russia-Ukraine tensions stoke inflation pressures, energy demand
The exchange rate between the Euro and United States Dollar has reached parity – meaning the two major currencies now have the same worth.
The development would make it the first in 20 years for such an occurrence.
On Tuesday, July 12, the euro hit $1, which represented a decline of about 12 percent since the start of this year.
Recent economic developments on the globe have sparked fears of a recession associated with supply chain disruptions, high inflationary pressures, energy supply uncertainty and tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
According to CNN Business, the European Union, which received roughly 40 percent of its gas through Russian pipelines before the war, is now attempting to reduce its dependence on Russian oil and gas.
The portal said at the same time, Russia has throttled back gas supplies to some EU countries and recently cut the flow in the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany by 60 percent.
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank announced that it will hike interest rates this month [July] for the first time since 2011 in a move to stem inflation, as the current eurozone inflation rate is pegged at 8.6 percent.

Lasmid, Owner of Ghana’s record-making and current club banger ‘Friday Night’ has revealed that he had no intentions of producing the song.
The Budding Takoradi-based Lasmid revealed that the song was not the one he planned for, but rather planned a Birthday song for himself with the instrumental but did not sound nice to him.
According to the hitmaker season 8 winner, listening to the instrumental later sounded nice and caused the chorus of the ‘Friday Night’ song, hence the decision to record the tune.
“It was my birthday and I was actually at home trying to record a birthday song, so I recorded and played the song but it didn’t sound well to me so I shunned working on it. I listen to the beats a day after again and for no reason, it sounded nice and the lyrics started coming. So, I did not sit down to write this song”, he said to Nana Quasi- Wusu (PM) during the ‘Dryve of your Lyfe’ show on Y 97.9 FM.
Lasmid’s ‘Friday Night’ after its release has amassed over 5 million streams on music streaming platforms with a record 3.4 million streams on Boomplay.
The song has also topped both global and international chats including Apple Music’s Top 100 Ghana and Spotify’s Hottest Tracks in Ghana at number 1.
Lasmid is known for songs such as ‘Sika’ featuring Kuami Eugene, ‘Atele’, ‘Father’ with Mr. Drew, ‘Odo Brassband’ featuring Kofi Kinaata, just to mention a few | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/entertainment/I-did-not-plan-on-recording-Friday-Night-Lasmid-1581101 | 2022-07-13T09:45:58Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/entertainment/I-did-not-plan-on-recording-Friday-Night-Lasmid-1581101 | false | 2 |
ISTANBUL (AP) — Military officials from Russia and Ukraine were set to hold their governments’ first face-to-face talks in months Wednesday during a session in Istanbul devoted to a United Nations plan to export blocked Ukrainian grain to world markets through the Black Sea.
Turkish military officials and U.N. representatives also planned to participate in the discussion focused on finding a way to get millions of tons of grain sitting in silos amid the war in Ukraine shipped out of the country’s ports toward the Mediterranean.
Ukraine is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but Russia’s invasion and war disrupted production and halted shipments, endangering food supplies in many developing countries, especially in Africa, and contributing to higher prices.
Turkey has offered to provide safe Black Sea corridors and worked with the U.N., Russia and Ukraine to reach an agreement. The U.N. would establish a center in Istanbul to control the shipments, Turkish officials have said.
Russian and Ukrainian officials have traded accusations over the stuck grain shipments, Moscow has said Ukraine’s heavily mined ports are causing the delay. Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged that Moscow wouldn’t use the corridors to launch an attack, if the sea mines were removed.
Ukrainian officials have blamed a Russian naval blockade for holding up exports and causing a global food crisis. They remained skeptical of Putin’s pledge not to take advantage of cleared Black Sea corridors to mount an attack, noting that he insisted at the beginning of the year he had no plans to invade Ukraine.
Ahead of the talks in Istanbul, a senior Russian diplomat said Moscow was willing to ensure safe navigation for ships to carry grain from Ukrainian ports but would press for its right to check the vessels for weapons.
Pyotr Ilyichev, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s department for ties with international organizations, said Russia’s military had repeatedly declared its willingness to allow for safe shipping corridors in the Black Sea.
Seventy vessels from 16 countries have remained stuck in Ukrainian ports, Ilyichev said, alleging that Ukrainian authorities had barred them from departing.
“Our conditions are clear: We need to have a possibility to control and check the ships to prevent any attempts to smuggle weapons in, and Kyiv must refrain from any provocations,” Russia’s Interfax news agency quoted Ilyichev as saying.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has worked for months to secure a deal that would allow Ukraine to export wheat and other commodities from Odesa, the country’s largest port, and also enable Russia to export grain and fertilizer to global markets.
Asked about Wednesday’s talks, Guterres said Tuesday: “We are working hard, indeed, but there is still a way to go.”
The war has trapped about 22 million tons of grain inside Ukraine, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. U.N., Turkish and other officials are scrambling for a solution that would empty the silos in time for upcoming harvest in Ukraine.
The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization says the war is endangering food supplies for many developing nations and could worsen hunger for up to 181 million people.
Some grain is being transported through Europe by rail, road and river, but the amount is small compared with sea routes.
Russia isn’t able to transport its grain either. Moscow argues that Western sanctions on its banking and shipping industries make it impossible for Russia to export food and fertilizer and are scaring off foreign shipping companies from carrying it.
Complicating the negotiations are accusations that Russia is shipping grain that was stolen from Ukraine.
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry summoned the Turkish ambassador last week after Turkish authorities briefly detained a Russian ship suspected of transporting stolen grain but allowed it to leave and return to a Russian port. A Turkish official said authorities were not able to determine the ship carried stolen grain.
NATO-member Turkey has retained its close ties to both Moscow and Ukraine. Since the war started, it has hosted a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian foreign ministers, as well as talks between the two countries’ negotiating teams.

What of this upstart company Lucid
LCID,
Unless you’re passionate about all things automotive or at least passionate about electric vehicles, Lucid Motors and its Air sedan may not ring a bell. However, this recent startup is currently the most formidable challenge to the reign of Tesla
TSLA,
Often uttered in the same sentence along with the Model S and Porsche
POAHY,
In that spirit, we thought we’d put together a highlights list of nine things you should know about the Lucid Air.
1. What is the 2022 Lucid Air?
The 2022 Lucid Air is a fully electric luxury sedan. As of now, the Air is Lucid Motors’ solitary model. Lucid presents the Air in four grades: Pure, Touring, Grand Touring, and Grand Touring Performance. Lucid did offer a fifth limited-run Dream Edition. However, the entire 2022 run sold out.
Roughly the size of the Tesla Model S, the Air is a full-size sedan, seating up to five passengers. The base model has one electric motor and rear-wheel drive (RWD). The rest of the lineup comes with two motors and all-wheel drive (AWD). Every Air includes three years of complimentary charging through the Electrify America network.

2. Who makes the 2022 Lucid Air?
Atieva
The brainchild of a couple of former Tesla executives, Atieva popped onto the Silicon Valley scene in 2007. Formed initially to develop and market power packs to third-party vehicle producers, Atieva supplied battery packs to vehicles ranging from motorcycles to buses. Over the next six years, the reliability, range, and efficiency of Atieva battery packs grew, as did the company’s aspirations. By the close of 2013, the focus turned from producing battery packs to developing and engineering a platform to showcase its core battery system. In other words, to build an EV.
Lucid Motors
Although evolving its battery packs remained Atieva’s primary mission, management began hatching plans to leap from a battery-pack supplier to an EV producer. By this time, another Tesla refugee, Peter Rawlinson, had also joined Atieva. He had been the lead engineer for the Model S. Atieva closed its initial round of fundraising to create a prototype in 2014. For the next 18 months, Atieva swelled its ranks with designers, software experts, and engineers and set about building a prototype.
In the meantime, Atieva became Lucid Motors in a reorganization in October 2016. The automaker unveiled its Air prototype for the first time shortly after that. Rawlinson, now its CTO, would take the reins as CEO in 2019. Soon after the 2016 reorganization, the company set plans to build a car-making facility in Arizona. The company announced the completion of Phase 1 of that factory in late 2020. The first Lucid Air models rolled off the assembly line in October 2021.
3. When will the 2022 Lucid Air go on sale?
The limited-run Air Dream Edition launched in late 2021 and immediately sold out. Currently, the only trim levels available are the Grand Touring and Grand Touring Performance. Although you may order the entry-level Pure or the next more costly Touring grade now, Lucid won’t deliver them until the fourth quarter of 2022.
4. What is the Lucid Air’s maximum range?
The range varies according to the trim level. The RWD Pure and the AWD Touring deliver up to 406 miles on a full battery. Adding more than 100 miles of maximum range to the Touring, the Grand Touring can go as far as 516 miles — claiming the top spot on the longest-range list. Opting for the Grand Touring Performance drops the range back to a maximum of 446 miles.
5. How quick is the Lucid Air?
Before it disappeared from the Air order list, the Dream Edition was the quickest among the grades. With up to 1,111 horsepower, it could go from a stop to 60 miles per hour in as little as 2.5 seconds. Its top speed was 168 miles per hour. Now the quickest honors go to the 1,050-hp Grand Touring Performance. Its 0-60 sprint takes about 2.6 seconds. With 819 hp, the Grand Touring reaches 60 mph from a standstill in 3.0 seconds. Lucid hasn’t published 0-60 numbers for the Pure or Touring. However, the Pure generates 480 hp, while the Touring delivers 620 hp. We doubt either are slackers in the runup to 60 mph.
6. How much does charging the Lucid Air cost?
The cost to charge a Lucid Air depends on many factors. Some experts have estimated it costs $16.80 to charge an Air Grand Touring (the current top-end trim) with its 112-kWh battery capacity.
With 19-inch wheels, it burns electricity at the rate of 0.26-kWh per mile. That number jumps to 0.28-kWh per mile with 21-inch wheels. Based on a cost of $0.15 per kWh, each mile you drive an Air Grand Touring costs about $.04.
Using a 350-kW DC fast charger, you can get from a 20% charge to 80% in just over 31 minutes. Getting from 0% to 100% requires 83 minutes. Going from 0% to 100% with a 240-volt system will take about 13 hours.
The good news is that the Air’s base price includes three years of free charging at any Electrify America 350-kW charging station.
7. How much does the Lucid Air cost?
Lucid is currently delivering the 2022 Grand Touring ($154,000) and the 2022 Grand Touring Performance ($179,000). You can reserve the RWD Pure ($87,400), the AWD Pure ($92,900), and the Touring ($107,400). Lucid estimates delivery of the Pure and Touring will commence toward the end of the year. As of this writing, Lucid Air models qualify for a $7,500 government tax credit.

8. Is the Lucid Air better than the Tesla Model S?
If and when the Air Pure is available, it will be more affordable than the $104,990 base Model S. Even in its AWD form, the Pure will be $12,090 less than the AWD Model S. The range of these base models is essentially the same — 406 miles versus 405 miles.
Measuring the Air Grand Touring against the Model S Plaid, the Grand Touring is more expensive at $154,000 than the Model S Plaid at $135,990. With its maximum range of 516 miles, the Grand Touring wins the day over the Model S Plaid’s 348-mile estimated range. As for thrust, the Model S claims a 0-60 time of 1.9 seconds, while the Air Grand Touring does that dash in 3.0 seconds.

9. Is the 2022 Lucid Air right for you?
When you begin shopping for a car in the $100,000 range, needs have less to do with decision-making than wants. Representing the newest, shiny thing, the Air fits nicely into the lifestyle of those who must be first with whatever the latest technology is. When money is of little or no consequence, lining up to own the newest luxury EV makes perfect sense. With the air, you also have the bragging rights to the longest range of any current EV. Only you can determine if that’s worth $154,000 to you.

SoniVie Announces successful procedure with TIVUS system on first patient enrolled for REDUCED1 Pilot study
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

JERUSALEM (AP) — President Joe Biden’s dash through Israel and the occupied West Bank this week is expected to cut across some of the region’s most iconic places.
Both luxurious and grueling, Biden’s visit starts with a VIP arrival at Israel’s main commercial airport — an on-and-off nightmare for regular travelers this summer due to huge lines and delays — and pings through Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Most of his travels are focused on business. Upon arrival, he will get a close-up look at Israel’s advanced missile-defense technology. The threat of Iran’s nuclear capabilities and the 2022 U.S. midterm elections shadow the whole exercise as Biden steps back on the world stage in his first visit to the region as president.
But in between meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, he will visit an array of well-known sites while staying at a historic Jerusalem hotel. Here’s a look at some of the expected highlights of Biden’s tour before he flies off to Saudi Arabia on Friday.
——
FAMOUS DIGS
The King David Hotel is fully booked this week for Biden and his retinue of hundreds of staff, security and journalists.
It’s Biden’s first time as president bedding down behind the building’s iconic pink limestone façade, which overlooks the domes and minarets of Jerusalem’s Old City.
The King David has been a witness to — and sometimes a participant in — Israel’s history.
It was opened in 1931, when the area was still governed by British mandatory authorities. A bombing by a Zionist militant group in 1946 struck its southwest facade, killing 91 people. After Israeli independence in 1948, it overlooked a valley in no-man’s land.
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin were photographed having a tense dinner in 1977 ahead of the Camp David Peace Accords.
Hollywood has been here, too. Movie stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton reportedly quarreled in public during their stay. Scenes from the 1960 movie “Exodus” were filmed in the gilded lobby and on the hotel’s fancy terrace.
Presidents going back to Richard Nixon have stayed at the King David. Dozens of kings and prime ministers also make the hotel’s client list.
Tiles that span the building’s first floor bear images of the signatures of luminaries, from Madonna to former President Donald Trump, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. A stairwell behind the reception desk doubles as a gallery of famous faces in the house, including a priceless image of then-U.S. President Jimmy Carter in shorts as he returned from a morning jog.
All that history and the sweeping views don’t come cheap. The 153 square-meter (1,600 square-foot) presidential suite goes for more than $3,800 a night the week after Biden leaves, according to the hotel’s web site.
——
YAD VASHEM
Biden on Wednesday will stop at Israel’s Holocaust museum, Yad Vashem, which memorializes the 6 million Jews killed during World War II by the Nazis and their allies.
The spike-shaped building in Jerusalem tells the story of the Holocaust emphasizing the experiences of the individual victims. It’s about 180 meters (591 feet) long and slashes through a mountain, its upper edge protruding through the ridge.
Biden will rekindle the Eternal Flame and lay a wreath on a slab over a spot where ashes from the extermination camps are buried, the museum said.
He’ll also meet with two survivors, Rena Quint of the former Czechoslovakia and Giselle Cycowicz of Poland in the Museum of Holocaust Art.
___
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE PRESIDENT’S RESIDENCE
U.S. and Israeli flags have been ironed and displayed. A long red carpet has been rolled out. A stage has been built.
Such are the preparations at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, where Israel’s Isaac Herzog will present Biden with the country’s highest civilian award. The Presidential Medal of Honor has been awarded since 2012 to 26 people who have “made an extraordinary contribution to the State of Israel or to humanity through their talents, their service, or in any other way,” according to the government.
Herzog’s office said Biden has proven himself over a half century in American public service to be “a true friend of the whole Jewish People.” Other recipients include former President Barack Obama. Biden served as his vice president.
Home to Israel’s president since 1971, the residence sits in an upscale Jerusalem neighborhood on about 2.5 acres (1 hectare). Israel’s third president, Zalman Shazar, asked that it be situated in accordance with the biblical verse, “Among my own people I dwell.”

AUGUSTA VICTORIA HOSPITAL
Biden is expected to cross to east Jerusalem to visit Augusta Victoria Hospital for a meeting with the heads of six hospitals that serve Palestinians in the area.
Two Palestinian officials said that Biden is expected to restore the $25 million that Trump cut in 2018 after his recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. They spoke on condition of anonymity pending the formal announcement.
The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem, captured by Israel in 1967, as the capital of a future state and Biden’s visit to a Palestinian hospital in the area carries deep symbolism. Israel has annexed east Jerusalem in a move that is not internationally recognized.
Augusta Victoria Hospital opened in 1910 and provides specialized cancer and dialysis treatment to east Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank as part of a six-hospital network.
Biden is looking to shore up relations with the Palestinians after he has struggled to unwind some of Trump’s foreign policy in the Mideast.
He is to wind up his visit by meeting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank town of Bethlehem. He also plans a stop at the Church of the Nativity — built at the spot where Christians believe Jesus was born.
—-
MACCABIAH GAMES
Biden is expected to visit with the athletes participating in the Maccabiah Games at Teddy Stadium on Thursday in Jerusalem.
Also known as the “Jewish Olympics,” the games are the country’s largest sporting event. Olympian Mark Spitz is the games’ most recognizable claim to world fame. He swam in his first international competition at the 1965 Maccabiah Games and returned four years later in preparation for his dominant performance in the 1972 Olympics.
Once every four years, Israeli and Jewish athletes from all over the world compete in their events. This year’s games, slated to take place over a two-week period, are expected to draw some 10,000 athletes from 60 countries, competing in dozens of sports.

SILVER SPRING, MD—Saying the ammunition would soon be available over the counter, the FDA reportedly approved a new bullet Tuesday for use on humans. “Given their high level of effectiveness in our trials, we have decided to authorize these new bullets for human use,” said FDA commissioner Robert Califf, explaining that although there did appear to be some adverse effects in a few study participants, the agency ultimately decided to go ahead and greenlight the bullets anyway. “Right now, we are only issuing approval for those over 18 to take these bullets, but if subsequent testing shows these projectiles work on younger children as well, we reserve the right to expand access to these rounds of ammo.” At press time, consumer advocacy groups challenged the FDA by claiming that the bullets were not deadly enough to humans to be put on the market. | https://www.theonion.com/new-bullet-approved-for-use-on-humans-1848886962 | 2022-07-13T10:00:56Z | https://www.theonion.com/new-bullet-approved-for-use-on-humans-1848886962 | false | 1 |

Abu Dhabi's Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) has announced the partial closure of Al Maqta Bridge until Saturday.
The left lanes in each direction on Al Maqta Bridge will be closed to traffic until 5.30am on Saturday, July 16, ITC announced on its social media platforms.
The works form part of a seven-month project to rejuvenate Al Maqta Bridge, which when it was built in 1968 was the first to connect Abu Dhabi island to the mainland.

The city's municipality in April said the work involves laying new asphalt, overhauling the pedestrian crossings and repainting the distinctive blue structure.
The restoration work is expected to be finished by October.
Before the bridge's construction, people had to wait until low tide to use a causeway to get off the island.
When it was built by Austrian engineers Wagner Biro, the bridge was only a single elegant arch, but it was later expanded to a dual crossing.
Wagner Biro was also responsible for Al Maktoum Bridge in Dubai, the first across the Creek. | https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/government/2022/07/13/al-maqta-bridge-in-abu-dhabi-partially-closed/ | 2022-07-13T10:18:11Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/government/2022/07/13/al-maqta-bridge-in-abu-dhabi-partially-closed/ | false | 1 |

LONDON — Britain's economy showed unexpectedly strong growth in May, with the three major components of production— manufacturing, construction and services — all posting gains.
The Office for National Statistics said Wednesday that gross domestic product expanded 0.5% in the month, compared with economic forecasts of about 0.1%. GDP declined 0.2% in April.
But the Confederation of British Industries cautioned that the figures can be volatile. The May data was skewed by the celebrations marking Queen Elizabeth II's 70 years on the throne, including an extra public holiday.
"This noise will continue to obscure the true state of the economy over the next few months," Ben Jones, the CBI's lead economist, said in a statement. "In reality, CBI surveys and real-time data point to subdued economic momentum."
Britain's sluggish economic growth has become a central issue in the contest to become the country's next prime minister, with all of the candidates pledging to cut taxes to spur investment by business owners. Eight candidates are vying to replace Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who announced his resignation last week following a series of scandals that undermined his credibility.
In one sign of the headwinds facing the economy, the statistics office said output from consumer-oriented businesses fell 0.1% in May as rising prices strained household budgets. The Consumer Price Index rose 9.1% in May, the biggest jump in 40 years.
Overall, the service sector expanded 0.4% in the month, the statistics office said. The increase was driven by health care as people booked more appointments with general practitioners following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
Services account for about 80% of U.K. economic output.
Output by manufacturers and other production industries increased 0.9% in May, and construction jumped 1.5%. | https://www.startribune.com/uk-economy-shows-unexpectedly-strong-growth-in-may/600189779/ | 2022-07-13T10:26:44Z | https://www.startribune.com/uk-economy-shows-unexpectedly-strong-growth-in-may/600189779/ | true | 25 |
Levi Strauss Uses More Frequent Financial Forecasts to Confront Uncertainty
The denim company is submitting half-year financial goals to its board instead of annual ones
Levi Strauss & Co. is adjusting its financial targets more frequently, setting them every six months instead of annually as it faces an uncertain economic outlook.
The San Francisco-based denim maker switched to a six-month financial planning cycle last year after pandemic-driven changes to the economy demonstrated a need for midyear updates, according to Chief Financial Officer Harmit Singh. The company’s half-year plan includes forecasts for revenue and profit, as well as cash conversion, showing the speed at which a business sells inventory or collects payments.
The more frequent forecasting cadence is helping Levi Strauss prepare for a potential economic slowdown, new phases of the pandemic and any unforeseen geopolitical events, Mr. Singh said. “The reason it’s important is because you don’t have a real line of sight in the future. Things are so uncertain,” he said, adding that he intends to submit his plan for the second half of the year this week.
Levi Strauss last week said revenue during the quarter ended May 29 increased 15%, to $1.47 billion. Demand for denim has been strong as people return to work in more casual clothing and replenish their wardrobes with newer styles, Mr. Singh said. The company last month set a five-year financial goal of achieving annual net revenue growth of between 6% and 8% through fiscal 2027.
Net income during the quarter fell 23% from a year earlier, to $49.7 million, due in part to a $60 million charge stemming from the temporary suspension of operations in Russia. Levi is working through its long-term plans for its Russian operations, and expects more clarity on the matter in the next couple of months, Mr. Singh said.
Demand for Levi’s lowest-priced denim declined during the quarter, as some inflation-weary consumers pulled back on spending, analysts said. Demand for the company’s Denizen and Signature products—which sell for between $20 and $30 at retailers including Walmart Inc. and Target Corp. —declined by the mid-single digits from a year earlier, Levi’s said. Those two brands accounted for 8% of the company’s net revenue in the 2021 fiscal year.
Outside of its lowest-priced categories, however, Levi isn’t seeing signs of a pullback in spending, Mr. Singh said. “The state of the consumer continues to be strong,” he said.
Levi has raised prices to offset the impact of higher costs, including for cotton which is used to make denim. Higher sale prices so far haven’t dented demand, Mr. Singh said.
During the quarter, inventories—a focus in the industry as retailers grapple with excess stock—increased 29% to $1.1 billion. Approximately two-thirds of Levi’s inventory is made up of core products that aren’t tied to a particular season, the company said. The company’s acquisition of athleisure wear brand Beyond Yoga in 2021, as well as the purchase of operations in Thailand that were previously licensed, also bolstered inventory levels.
Analysts said the company’s inventory levels, while rising, are doing so in line with expectations for strong demand. Women are buying more wider-leg jeans instead of skinny-leg styles, and the company’s classic 501 jeans category is showing strong growth, analysts and the company said.
In the months ahead, a new enterprise resource planning system will likely provide Levi with better visibility into where its inventory is located and how well stores are stocked, said Jay Sole, an analyst with UBS Group AG .
Approximately 20% of the company’s inventory is in transit, meaning it hasn’t arrived at its facilities yet. “If it’s on its way, it’s against future orders and future seasons,” Mr. Singh said.
