Indian equity benchmarks reversed initial gains to finish lower for a third straight day on Wednesday, as caution persisted across global markets ahead of a key inflation reading from the world's largest economy.
Investors awaited more of corporate earnings from India Inc for domestic cues, after HCL Tech's quarterly margin missed Street estimates.
What do the charts suggest for Dalal Street now?
The Nifty50 has formed a long negative candle on the daily chart overlapping the previous negative candle, reflecting a lack of strength in the market to sustain the highs, according to Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
The short-term trend of the market remains weak, he said.
More pain on the cards
The 50-scrip index finished below its 50-day simple moving average after long, Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail) at Kotak Securities, pointed out.
He is of the view that a fresh pullback rally is possible only after the Nifty crosses 16,000, which could go all the way till 16,100-16,150 levels.
On the other hand, a correction wave is likely to continue up to 15,900-15,850 levels if it trades below the 50-day average or 16,000, he said.
Here are key things to know about the market ahead of the July 14 session:
Global markets
European shares began Wednesday in the red ahead of the release of data on US inflation, which might offer more clarity on the course of rate hikes by the Fed. The pan-European Stoxx 600 fell as much as 1.1 percent in early hours.
S&P 500 futures were up 0.2 percent at the last count, suggesting a higher opening ahead on Wall Street.
What to expect on Dalal Street
HDFC Securities' Shetti believes a decisive move further below key lower support at 16,000 levels could lead to next support at 15,700.
A sustainable upside could resume above 16,150, he said.
Important levels to track
Mohit Nigam, Head-PMS at Hem Securities, has identified the following levels to watch out for:
FII/DII activity
Call/put open interest
The maximum call open interest is accumulated at the strike price of 16,500, with 2.2 lakh contracts, and the next highest at 16,300, with 2.1 lakh, according to exchange data. The maximum put open interest is at 15,500, with 1.2 lakh contracts, and 15,800, with 1.1 lakh contracts.
This suggests a tough hurdle at 16,300 and immediate support at 15,800 mark.
Long build-up
Here are five stocks that saw an increase in open interest as well as price:
Long unwinding
(Decrease in open interest as well as price)
Short covering
(Increase in price and decrease in open interest)
Short build-up
(Decrease in price and increase in open interest)
52-week highs
Three stocks on the BSE 500 — the broadest index on the bourse — touched the milestone: Gujarat Fluorochemicals, Varun Beverages and Adani Total Gas.
52-week lows
On the other hand, two stocks in the 500-scrip basket hit 52-week lows: HCL Tech and Gland Pharma. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/trade-setup-july-14-nifty-sensex-technical-resistance-support-india-stock-market-14121252.htm/amp | 2022-07-13T14:02:57Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/trade-setup-july-14-nifty-sensex-technical-resistance-support-india-stock-market-14121252.htm/amp | true | 2 |
(NEXSTAR) – A 23-year-old Maryland man is recovering after he fell into the crater of Mount Vesuvius while trying to recover his cellphone, according to local media and police.
Philip Carroll was hiking with two relatives on the 4,203-foot volcano in Campania, Italy, Saturday when he took a trail marked with a “no access” sign that had been closed to tourists, Paolo Cappelli, president of the Presidio Permanente Vesuvio base told NBC News.
When they reached the rim of the volcano, Carroll paused to take a selfie but lost his grip on his phone, which fell into the famed volcano.
“He tried to recover it, but slipped and slid a few meters into the crater,” Cappelli told NBC. “He managed to stop his fall, but at that point he was stuck.”
Cappelli said if Carroll kept going he would have plunged nearly 1,000 feet into the crater.
Mount Vesuvius guides spotted Carroll and another relative using binoculars, and rushed to the site of the fall after realizing Carroll had fallen, according to local newspaper Il Mattino. Four guides lowered a rope roughly 50 feet to rescue Carroll, who suffered multiple bruises to his legs, arms and back.
Local police took Carroll into custody, Il Mattino reports, but it’s not clear what charges he may face.
Mount Vesuvius last erupted in 1944 and is considered an active volcano in a state of repose, according to the park’s website. The volcano, which is known for the 79 AD eruption that buried the city of Pompeii, is also a popular destination for archaeologists. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/world/tourist-trying-to-snap-selfie-tumbles-into-mt-vesuvius/ | 2022-07-13T14:04:26Z | https://www.newsnationnow.com/world/tourist-trying-to-snap-selfie-tumbles-into-mt-vesuvius/ | true | 23 |
Vodafone accused of harassing bereaved families over dead peoples’ accounts
Guardian columnist George Monbiot claimed he received threatening phone calls from a debt collection agency
Vodafone has been accused of preying on bereaved families to extract money they do not owe.
The mobile company refused to cancel the account of Guardian columnist George Monbiot’s mother, despite her having died in March 2022.
“After our repeated failure to have her account cancelled, we stopped the direct debit. In response, Vodafone appointed a debt recovery agency to seize the money *we do not owe it*, which has been serially harassing my father”, Mr Monbiot tweeted.
Vodafone allegedly asked Mr Monbiot’s father, when he attempted to cancel the account, niche questions which he could not answer, including the exact date when the contract started. “At no time, even in the first phone call, was there any expression of commiseration or sympathy, just outright hostility and aggression”, Mr Monbiot said.
:: Have you experienced this? Contact us on +447926368551 or adam.smith@independent.co.uk
Mr Monbiot said he received threatening phone calls from a debt collection agency. Vodafone has apologied in a tweet.
“On behalf of Vodafone I would like to offer my sincere condolences to George Monbiot and his family after the recent loss of his mother. A number of errors were made by Vodafone following this bereavement, for which I apologise. These should never have happened and I am sorry”, Shelley Malton, the company’s UK customer services and operations director, said.
“We do have processes and polices in place to handle cases of bereavement and to support our more vulnerable customers. We regret to say that not all of these processes were followed in this instance. We have launched an investigation into why and how this happened. In response to this case we are upgrading training for all our customer care colleagues.”
Mr Monbiot said he received a “flood of similar reports from other customers” in situations similar to his own.
He added that he found it impossible to find a link on the company’s website for a bereavement team, that there is not a step-by-step account of the process to delete a deceased person’s account, and there no easily visible customer support email.
“The policy, as I see it, is systematically to prey on bereaved families and extract money from them which they do not owe. I struggle to see any other explanation for this consistent pattern of behaviour”, Mr Monbiot said.
The Independent has reached out to Vodafone for comment.

Wego, a leading online travel marketplace in the Mena region, and Indonesia Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy have collaborated to revive tourism to Bali.
The all-time favourite destination, Bali, is welcoming tourists in the new norm. Bali is a country of diverse landforms. It has been one of the top honeymoon destinations or holiday spots. Bali has everything for adventure enthusiasts and the solo traveller in search of tranquillity, ranging from waterfalls to nightclubs to treks.
Through Wego’s vast user base in Mena, Indonesia Tourism Board will be able to promote its destination and Bali specifically to drive more bookings. To revive tourism post covid, Indonesia has launched an exhibition with the theme "It's time for Bali".
Bali offers visa on arrival to 72 countries, including those from the Middle East like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait. Alongside, other nationalities’ visitors must apply for the B211A Visit Visa for 60 days. The primary purpose of easing travel to Indonesia is to encourage tourism and attract foreign exchange into the country.
Mamoun Hmedan, Chief Commercial Officer and Managing Director, Mena and India of Wego, said: “We are expanding our partnerships to cover more destinations and offer our users more choice. Indonesia and particularly Bali is a hot spot for many travellers, especially from the Mena region. We look forward to working with the Indonesia Tourism Board to bring more travellers to the country.”
According to a recent study, Indonesia is set to welcome over 900,000 tourists by the end of this quarter. The government is helping curb the spread of Covid-19 spread by keeping the highest vaccination rates in Bali and maintaining the standards as per CHSE certifications.
Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia, said: “We've been synchronizing or aligning some of our future promotion plans since Bali is still the top of mind of tourists, with a new economic era through digital marketing, it is necessary to innovate in our patterns of promotion. There are several approaches to achieve the target of tourist number, namely by joint cooperation with our strategic partners in the market and organizing various international-class events in Indonesia. We agree with the approaches that become our programs such as sports tourism, MICE, and international events and tourism villages.”
Tourists can go hiking on Java Island, sit alongside the beach at Gili, or visit the Tanah Lot Sea temple. From ancient temples to modern bars to breathtaking landscapes, Bali offers a unique combination of diverse experiences at once. The island is perfect for those seeking mental relaxation since it is full of affordable yoga and healing centres. While Bali is a popular tourist destination, it has an equal abundance of Balinese people who preserve the culture and uniqueness of the island.
Travellers to Indonesia can also explore the Ubud market to purchase handcrafted artsy items made by the locals. Food-lovers can also indulge in the goodness of traditional Padang food with dishes like coconut-milk cassava and varieties of beef, curry, chicken, and rice. Those who want to visit the peaceful unexplored corners can soak in the beauty of the Derawan Islands in Indonesia.
Indonesia will also host the international G20 summit in Nusa Dua, Bali, in November 2022. The European Union and 19 countries will attend the G20 summit. The theme of this summit will be "Recover Together, Recover Stronger". The theme will focus on progressing ahead post the Covid-19 world. The discussions will cover important topics like the economy, investment, agriculture, employment, health, taxes, monetary policies, etc.

Back in June, a recall was issued for the Ford Mustang Mach-E after it was discovered that the EV crossover was experiencing an issue that could cause certain examples to become immobile. The recall – which affects 48,924 of roughly 100,000 Mach-Es produced thus far – also prompted Ford to temporarily halt deliveries of that model. At first, Ford didn’t have a fix for this issue, which is caused by a problem with high voltage battery connections, but a workaround became available at dealers last week, a bit earlier than expected. Regardless, three Ford Mustang Mach-E owners have now filed a lawsuit against the automaker alleging that it knew about this potential design flaw and hasn’t yet figured out how to fix it. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662820341629/2022-kia-suv-and-crossover-lineup-ranked | 2022-07-13T14:07:16Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662820341629/2022-kia-suv-and-crossover-lineup-ranked | true | null |
Kelly Khumalo’s sister Zandie Khumalo-Gumede is not happy with advocate Malesela Teffo’s withdrawal from the Senzo Meyiwa trial.
Khumalo-Gumede took to her Instagram to write a lengthy caption lashing out at Teffo.
She wrote: “It looks like one is never gonna get their day in court la coz people entrusted with this case have turned into a circus so I might as well say this here and now.”
She went to to call Teffo an opportunist and said that the Meyiwa family is not likely to get justice and her’s will always have a dark cloud hanging over their heads.
“It really pains me that this case doesn’t look like it will be solved any time soon because South Africa believe opportunists and populists like this one, it pains me because it means the Meyiwa family will never get justice and it pains me because it means my family will forever live under this dark cloud, this one claimed he had an eyewitness uphi (where)?”
She expressed her outrage over Teffo claiming he had proof that Kelly Khumalo pulled the trigger – only to now withdraw from the case.
“He has had his two minutes of fame … This desperate desire to find the Khumalos guilty so.
“’We will believe and back anyone who says what we want to hear’ will stand in the way of justice, this tunnel view approach that the society is applying to this case is what is obstructing justice from being served but qhubekani (go ahead).
“Asibizwa ngani ecourt,Asibuzwa ngani (How come we are not being asked anything)?”
Khumalo-Gumede turned off the comments for her post.
The trial took a dramatic turn this week when Teffo withdrew and walked out of the courtroom.
He stated that his decision was due to alleged harassment by the judge, the police and the National Prosecuting Authority.
The trial is ongoing. | https://www.iol.co.za/entertainment/celebrity-news/local/zandie-khumalo-gumede-weighs-in-on-the-senzo-meyiwa-trial-526840bc-9dbc-4c19-8c30-66e39a12c4c3 | 2022-07-13T14:08:29Z | https://www.iol.co.za/entertainment/celebrity-news/local/zandie-khumalo-gumede-weighs-in-on-the-senzo-meyiwa-trial-526840bc-9dbc-4c19-8c30-66e39a12c4c3 | false | 1 |

Egypt raises price of widely used diesel, other fuel
CAIRO (AP) - Egypt on Wednesday increased the price of its widely used diesel and other fuels in a move expected to further drive up prices of other goods and services. The country, like others, faces steep inflationary pressures in the wake of Russia´s war on Ukraine.
In a statement, the country´s petroleum ministry said it would increase prices immediately. The price for a liter of diesel has been hiked from 6.75 Egyptian pounds (.36 USD) a liter to 7.25 Egyptian pounds (.38 USD), an increase of 7.4%. Other types of gasoline saw hikes of the same amount, with higher octane gasoline being hiked by 1 Egyptian pound, or 5 U.S. cents per liter.
The move is expected to exacerbate economic pressures on the country´s poor and the middle class which have been hit hard in recent years by austerity measures dictated by the government´s ambitious economic restructuring program.
Already on Wednesday, transport authorities in Cairo, the country´s capital, announced that fares for various modes of transport, including trains, subway and taxis, would increase between 5% and 7%.
The reform program has in recent years included steep price hikes for fuel, drinking water and electricity as part of austerity measures designed to overhaul a significantly subsidized economy, still recovering from years of turmoil following its 2011 popular uprising.
In the months since the war in Ukraine started, the government has also tried to keep pace with the increasing worldwide energy prices. However, diesel fuel, on which a large portion of the society depends, was exempt from the last price hike in April.

Egyptians have been grappling with rising staple food prices and for other basic goods since the Russia-Ukraine war erupted. In June, the country´s statistics bureau announced that annual inflation reached 15.3% in May compared to 4.9% for the same month last year.
The government has been looking for finance solutions for the coming period. It has approached the International Monetary Fund and has received a promise from Saudi Arabia for $30 billion of investments, some of which are for private industry.
Earlier this month, the IMF said in a statement that it had sent a delegation to Egypt and talks were moving forward for the country to receive a new loan to support the government´s reform program. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11009993/Egypt-raises-price-widely-used-diesel-fuel.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-13T14:11:32Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11009993/Egypt-raises-price-widely-used-diesel-fuel.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 2 |

The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) is pushing senators to reject a reconciliation package that would lower drug prices and raise taxes on high earners and renew their focus on the bipartisan bill to boost U.S. competitiveness with China.
“There is absolutely no reason to delay or derail legislation that has earned bipartisan support and would support American manufacturing workers for decades to come. The longer we wait, the further behind we fall,” NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons wrote in a letter to congressional leaders and President Biden Monday.
The letter comes after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) threatened to block the United States Innovation and Competition Act, which would shell out $52 billion to U.S. companies to bolster domestic semiconductor manufacturing among other measures to counter China, if Democrats pursue a party-line reconciliation package.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is pursuing a budget reconciliation bill — which could pass with a simple-majority vote — that would allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices and raise taxes on wealthy individuals and high earners using pass-through businesses.
NAM has long lobbied against measures to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices, which would put a dent in drugmakers’ profits. The manufacturers’ group is also running ads in the nation’s capital urging lawmakers not to hike taxes.
“In short, tax increases and other proposals for the reconciliation bill, like restrictions on our pharmaceutical industry that would stifle lifesaving innovation, are simply the wrong approach at the wrong time,” Timmons wrote.
Politico first reported the news of the letter.
The letter indicates that business interests are concerned about the future of the China competitiveness bill. Schumer seems intent on moving forward with a reconciliation package despite McConnell’s threat to block the China bill, and even if the GOP leader doesn’t follow through on his promise, senators could run out of time to pass it before the August recess. | https://thedailyripple.org/index.php/component/content/article/115-economy/956739-manufacturers-push-back-on-reconciliation-urge-passage-of-china-bill | 2022-07-13T14:12:09Z | https://thedailyripple.org/index.php/component/content/article/115-economy/956739-manufacturers-push-back-on-reconciliation-urge-passage-of-china-bill | false | 2 |
Olympic champion Katie Archibald withdraws from Commonwealth Games
Olympic champion Katie Archibald has pulled out of the Commonwealth Games as she continues her recovery from a string of injury setbacks.
The 28-year-old had been due to compete for Scotland this summer, coming up against England’s Dame Laura Kenny with whom she won Madison gold in Tokyo last year.
But Archibald, the reigning Commonwealth individual pursuit champion, said injuries have meant she will not be ready to race when the track cycling begins in London on July 29.
View this post on Instagram
“With a very heavy heart I’ve decided to withdraw from the Birmingham Commonwealth Games,” Archibald wrote on social media.
“I scheduled time off in January this year to recover from shoulder surgery, but since then I’ve managed to fit in, unscheduled: a back fracture; covid; a concussion; a broken collarbone; another surgery; and (the final cherry on top) two sprained ankles and a big ballooned leg.
“I’ve tried my hardest to keep my head up, and I’ve certainly had enough support from @britishcycling, @scottishcycling, and @ceratizit_wnt to do so, but I’m not coping. Representing Scotland means so much to me, but right now I’m simply not fit for the task.”
Archibald also won the points race silver at the Commonwealth Games four years ago, and her withdrawal will come as a significant blow to Scotland given cycling was their most successful sport in Australia, with four golds, four silvers and two bronzes.
Olympic Madison gold was part of a stellar 2021 for Archibald, who also won Olympic silver in the team pursuit, became the world omnium champion and took European titles in the omnium, scratch race and Madison – taking the latter title alongside Scotland team-mate Neah Evans.
But after having shoulder surgery at the start of this year, she suffered concussion and a broken collarbone while competing in the World Cup in Glasgow in May.
At the end of May, Archibald injured both ankles when she was struck by a driver while on a training ride.
Team Scotland chef de mission Elinor Middlemiss said: “We are really disappointed for Katie that she has had to take the tough decision to withdraw from the Games. Her welfare is of the utmost importance, and we wish her a speedy recovery.
“Katie is a huge supporter and advocate of Scottish sport and I have no doubt that Katie will be cheering the team on from the sidelines.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11009817/Olympic-champion-Katie-Archibald-withdraws-Commonwealth-Games.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-13T14:12:24Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11009817/Olympic-champion-Katie-Archibald-withdraws-Commonwealth-Games.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 8 |
(The Hill) – Former President Trump tried to call a witness expected to appear at a future hearing for the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said Tuesday, raising further questions about potential witness tampering.
“After our last hearing, President Trump tried to call a witness in our investigation. A witness you have not yet seen in these hearings,” Cheney said at the conclusion of Tuesday’s hearing. “That person declined to answer or respond to President Trump’s call, and instead alerted their lawyer to the call. Their lawyer alerted us, and this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice.”
“We will take any effort to influence witness testimony very seriously,” Cheney added.
At a hearing late last month with former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, Cheney displayed a text message sent to one undisclosed witness that read: “[A person] let me know you have your deposition tomorrow. He wants me to let you know that he’s thinking about you. He knows you’re loyal, and you’re going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition.”
Cheney also showed a statement at the previous hearing from a witness in which the person recalled being told that as long as they remained loyal to Trump and his team, “I’ll continue to stay in good graces in Trump World. And they have reminded me a couple of times that Trump does read transcripts and just to keep that in mind as I proceeded through my depositions and interviews with the committee.”
One of the witnesses involved in the previous messages is reportedly Hutchinson.
But Cheney’s comments on Tuesday are the first public confirmation that Trump had personally reached out to those who are communicating with the committee.
The committee has kept the identity of witnesses at future hearings under wraps, partly due to increased security concerns. | https://www.wkbn.com/news/national-world/doj-alerted-after-trump-called-unseen-jan-6-witness-says-cheney/ | 2022-07-13T14:13:17Z | https://www.wkbn.com/news/national-world/doj-alerted-after-trump-called-unseen-jan-6-witness-says-cheney/ | false | 14 |

Milwaukee Bucks’ Khris Middleton had surgery in early July to repair a torn ligament in the wrist, sources say
LAS VEGAS — Milwaukee Bucks All-Star forward Khris Middleton underwent surgery in early July to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist and is expected to make a full recovery to return sometime near the start of the regular season. times, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
Middleton, who turns 31 next month, averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 66 games with Milwaukee last season and was selected to his third All-Star Game. He helped the Bucks — along with two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday — to the 2020-21 NBA Championship.
Middleton missed the last 10 games of Milwaukee’s playoff run last spring after spraining his medial collateral ligament in his left knee in Game 2 of the Bucks’ first round with the Chicago Bulls.
Milwaukee lost in the second round to eventual Eastern Conference champions Boston Celtics in seven games.
This off-season, the Bucks re-signed Bobby Portis and guards Wesley Matthews and Jevon Carter and added veteran swingman Joe Ingles to a one-year deal. Ingles is unlikely to be ready to start the season after suffering a torn ACL in January while still with Utah.
Milwaukee suffered a string of injuries during the 2021-22 season, including center Brook Lopez, who missed most of the regular season after back surgery.

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska – Representatives from the federal and state offices of veterans affairs collaborated with community partners to provide outreach services for veterans in Gambell and Nome, July 8 and 9.
From helping veterans to file claims for education, medical or other benefits to assisting them in obtaining earned military awards, these offices were there to serve Alaskans.
“It’s so important for us to come to them. It is proof that we value their service,” said Verdie Bowen, director of the state of Alaska Office of Veterans Affairs, who explained that many veterans in rural locations can’t come in to Anchorage to receive services.
Bowen said that his team assisted 22 veterans with claims in Nome and that veterans from surrounding communities as far as Little Diomede, located in the middle of the Bering Strait between Alaska mainland and Siberia, attended the outreach event.
“While we are here, we are also impacting people by establishing new relationships that will continue to build trust,” said Bowen, who affectionately referred to his team as the promise keepers. “Trust helps those who served to step out across the scary line and sign documents needed to receive those benefits that they have earned.”
Alaska has more than 67,000 veterans representing four generations across five major conflicts.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Rural Health sent their outreach team to Gambell, a St. Lawrence Island village located south of the Bering Strait and approximately 197 miles from Nome, where they served 52 veterans in the area.
The state team was not able to make it to Gambell due to heavy fog in the area but were able to assist with another project at the Belmont Point Cemetery in Nome.
“We were made aware of approximately 124 unmarked Alaska Territorial Guard graves and will continue to work with the local VFW to make sure the graves are marked,” said Bowen. “We have limited time in these locations and try to make every second count.”
Upon request, the federal VA furnishes at no charge a government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death.
Bowen said that his team will begin requesting markers from the VA for the ATG members whose discharges are complete. At the same time, he will begin processing discharges for the remaining service members.
Each headstone weighs 174 lbs and must be shipped to Nome by barge. Bowen said that it’s extremely important to have these in a rural place like Nome to reassure veterans that they will be remembered.
“Every Memorial Day from the time you pass to the time we are no longer a nation, they will get a flag on their grave,” said Bowen. “It’s not a lot information on the headstone but enough to let people know that they served and are not forgotten.” | https://alaska-native-news.com/state-federal-veterans-affairs-offices-host-outreach-events-for-gambell-nome/62625/ | 2022-07-13T14:24:12Z | https://alaska-native-news.com/state-federal-veterans-affairs-offices-host-outreach-events-for-gambell-nome/62625/ | false | 2 |
WASHINGTON, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly half of workers in the U.S. do not have access to a retirement plan at work, according to a new AARP study. Nearly 57 million people — 48% of American private sector employees ages 18 to 64 — work for an employer that does not offer either a traditional pension or a retirement savings plan.
"Having access to a retirement plan at work is critical for building financial security later in life. And we know people are much more likely to save for retirement if they can do so automatically through their paycheck." said Debra Whitman, AARP's Executive Vice President and Chief Public Policy Officer. "We applaud the many states — with AARP's support — that have already created programs that give workers access to retirement savings options and provide small businesses an effective way to attract and retain employees."
AARP's new research found that employees at small businesses are less likely to have access to a retirement plan than those at larger workplaces. About 78% of worker at companies with fewer than 10 employees and 65% who work in companies with 10 to 24 employees lack access to a plan. Even among employers with more than 1,000 workers, one-third of employees do not have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
Access to a retirement plan varies by educational attainment. Just over three-quarters of workers with less than a high school degree (76%) do not have an employer-provided retirement plan — compared to half (50%) of workers with some college and nearly one-third (32%) with a bachelor's degree or higher.
The data also reveals disparities by race and ethnicity. Nearly 64% of Hispanic workers, 53% of Black workers, and 45% of Asian American workers lack access to an employer-provided retirement plan. Together, these employees account for about 46% (26 million) of the total 57 million uncovered workers.
"While Social Security is essential to retirement security, the average benefit is only about $1,600 a month," said Whitman. "Providing workers with a convenient way to save for retirement helps ensure they will have additional resources beyond the foundation provided by Social Security."
In a recent AARP survey, 96% of likely voters age 25 and over who are currently participating in a workplace retirement plan report the plan is important in helping them save for retirement. Nine in ten (91%) respondents also support establishing a state-facilitated program to help workers save for retirement if their employer does not currently offer them a way to save. To date, 14 states have enacted state-facilitated payroll deduction retirement savings or "Work & Save" programs.

What does Google’s stock split mean for investors?
Google’s parent company Alphabet (GOOGL) (GOOG) plans a second stock split in its history.
A 20: 1 split means that Alphabet investors will receive an additional 19 shares for each share they already own. This is the company’s first stock split since the stock split of 1,998 to 1,000 in April 2014.
Google stock split date
Google’s stock split will take place after the market closes on July 15.
Alphabet stock split and its meaning
This split does not affect Morningstar’s senior equity analyst, Alimo Garabis’ view of the company. He rates it at $ 3,600 per share. After the split, the company’s fair value estimate will be adjusted to $ 180 per share to accommodate a 20-fold increase in the number of issued shares of the company.
The economic moat rating of the entire alphabet means that the company has a competitive advantage and is not affected by the split.
In other words, the company will remain a 4-star rated stake after the split and will trade at a 36% discount as of July 11. With a 4-star rating, Alphabet is considered underrated.
Mogharabi said stocks are down due to slowing economic growth and concerns about potential advertising spend cuts that could impact advertising revenue-dependent companies like Alphabet. I am saying.
But digital advertising spending is a bit less impactful than overall advertising spending, he says. Mogharabi believes that three factors contribute positively to the company.
Alphabet still has room for further monetization of YouTube and monetization of maps. He also says that the cloud business remains strong.
Alphabet dominates the online search market, with Google’s global share of over 80%, which creates strong revenue growth and cash flow. Search market.
Future stock split
Alphabet is one of several technology and consumer companies that launched a stock split this year. E-commerce platforms Amazon (AMZN) and Shopify (SHOP) have already split their shares. The next big name is Tesla (TSLA), who will vote for a 3: 1 partition at the annual meeting on August 4. If successful, the electric vehicle manufacturer will be in its second stock split in three years.

'Choose the bus' plea as travel numbers remain below pre-covid levels
- Credit: Copyright: Archant 2015
A new campaign is being launched to encourage people to travel on the bus more frequently, as figures show passenger journeys haven't yet returned to pre-covid levels.
Norfolk County Council and local bus operators have teamed up for the ‘Choose the bus’ campaign.
It will aim to showcase the many reasons that people choose to get the bus. Whether it is making the day more fun for the kids, saving money as fuel prices continue to increase, wanting to reduce your carbon footprint or being able to have a drink with friends after work.
Martin Wilby, the county council's cabinet member for Highways, Infrastructure and Transport, said: “The bus is a great option for so many different reasons and many people may not have even considered it. This campaign demonstrates the many benefits that getting the bus can bring and aims to make bus the first choice for more people across Norfolk.
"Although we have seen a great recovery since Covid-19 restrictions were lifted, we now need to see a further rise in passenger numbers - across all services - to avoid seeing any of our vital bus routes struggling to continue.”
During the pandemic bus services were hit hard with passenger numbers dropping significantly and, in some areas, to as low as 10pc of normal figures. This year passenger numbers have seen a steady rise and are now back up to around 80pc of pre-covid figures across most services.
David Jordan, marketing manager for First Eastern Counties Buses, said: “With both the rising costs of fuel and the ever-increasing awareness of environmental issues, there’s never been a better time to either try the bus for the first time, or a return to choosing this as a regular mode of transport, thus also ensuring the long-term sustainability of bus services for all.”

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The White House said President Joe Biden would try to limit physical contact during his Middle East trip because of concern about rising COVID-19 cases — but the president swiftly reverted to his old-school, back-slapping ways after landing in Israel on Wednesday.
He doled out a few fist bumps after stepping off the plane but then threw an arm around Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid and shook hands with former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The issue of contact is arising amid intense speculation about Biden's upcoming meeting with leaders in Saudi Arabia and whether he will shake hands with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who U.S. intelligence officials said probably sanctioned the killing of a critic.
It remained to be seen how Biden would greet other Israeli, Palestinian and Arab leaders during his trip, which includes a summit in Saudi Arabia of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
A new omicron variant, which is able to more easily evade immunity from vaccinations and previous infections, has revived concerns about the threat of the pandemic.
“We’re trying to minimize contact as much as possible where we can,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters traveling aboard Air Force One with the president.
But such precautions did not appear to be in place on Tuesday before Biden left for the Middle East, when he mingled and shook hands with members of Congress at a White House picnic.
Biden is set to meet with Saudi King Salman and the crown prince when he flies to the kingdom on Friday. The highly anticipated meeting is being closely scrutinized as the White House looks to reset the U.S.-Saudi relationship after a rocky start in the Biden presidency.
As a candidate, Biden had vowed to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” nation for its human rights record. The president last year also angered the Saudis by publicly releasing a U.S. intelligence report that determined that the crown prince, who is often referred to by his initials MBS, likely approved the 2018 killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a fierce critic of the kingdom’s leadership.
The Democratic president's plan to meet MBS has been criticized by human rights activists who accuse Biden of backsliding on a vow to make human rights a central pillar of his foreign policy.
Israeli media reported this week that the White House had told Lapid’s office that Biden would refrain from shaking hands during the visit due to the surge in COVID-19 infections in the U.S. and Israel.
Jean-Pierre did not say whether such a message was conveyed to the Israelis.
Before Biden travels abroad, White House officials work with host nations to coordinate COVID-19 protocols, including testing for anyone expected to come in close contact with Biden. It’s not a perfect system, as Biden often decides to greet people in large crowds that may not have been universally tested. Separately, everyone traveling in the presidential entourage is required to be tested at least once daily, in addition to any host country protocols.
The no-handshake guidance comes as the White House has emphasized that COVID-19 should not disrupt daily life due to the availability of tests and therapeutics. Biden’s prior overseas trips — including a visit to Europe last fall during the surge in cases caused by the delta variant — did not include attempts to curtail Biden's handshakes.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union's executive on Wednesday decried the rule of law situation in Poland and Hungary, centering on perceived breaches in their judiciary and media in its annual report.
As it comes against the background of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the European Commission said that it was all the more important for the 27 nations to be a beacon of democracy on an unstable continent.
“The EU will only remain credible if we uphold the rule of law at home and if we continue to reinforce the rule of law culture,” EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said.
Even though Poland is at the forefront of EU's effort to welcome war refugees from Ukraine, it did come in for a lot of criticism regarding its judiciary independence and the media. Hungary, whose prime minister, Viktor Orban, is seen as Russia's best contact in the 27-nation EU, also stood out for the criticism it got.
“Serious concerns persist related to the independence of the Polish judiciary,” the report said, adding anti-corruption plans also left to be desired. It also questioned the government's commitment to free media and said that “the general environment for journalists continues to deteriorate.”
Poland and the EU's headquarters in Brussels have been fighting for years over judicial independence and the dispute is far from resolved, despite recent moves in Warsaw. Poland must still take more steps to ensure judicial independence before it can receive any of the frozen funds totaling about 36 billion euros ($39 billion).
Hungary came in for perhaps even tougher criticism, with the report saying “judicial independence concerns ... remain unaddressed,” while it said anti-corruption measures still fell woefully short. It described a nation where “where risks of clientelism, favoritism and nepotism in high-level public administration remain unaddressed.”
Orban imposed emergency powers to counter the pandemic but the report said that “the government has been using its emergency powers extensively, also in areas not related to the COVID-19 pandemic as initially invoked.”
The European Commission has been engaged in a protracted struggle with Hungary’s nationalist government in an effort to force it to comply with EU rule of law standards. Pointing to deficiencies in judicial independence, crackdowns on the media and civil society organizations and inadequate safeguards against corruption, the European Commission has launched several proceedings against Hungary for what it says are violations of EU rules.
Yet such proceedings have often failed to get Orban to change tack, and critics say his government has flouted EU rules while misusing the bloc’s funds to enrich family members and politically connected businessmen.
The European Commission has withheld billions in post-pandemic financial support from Hungary over what it calls insufficient safeguards against corruption, and has tailored a mechanism for sanctioning member states that fail to uphold the bloc’s rule of law standards.
Even if the European Commission's report laid bare deficiencies, some said that it lacked any teeth.
In 2021, for example, the commission launched two infringement procedures against Hungary’s government over laws they said attacked the LGBTQ community.
“This sharper analysis is not met with a sharper bite,” said Green MEP Terry Reintke. “With extremely worrying breaches of fundamental rights, women’s rights and LGBTIQ rights in countries such as Poland or Hungary, we need far clearer action from the Commission.”

Three Americans were quietly jailed in Venezuela earlier this year for allegedly trying to enter the country illegally and now face long prison sentences in the politically turbulent nation.
Two of the men — a lawyer from California and a computer programmer from Texas — were arrested in late March, just days after President Nicolás Maduro’s socialist government freed two other Americans.
Venezuelan security forces arrested lawyer Eyvin Hernandez, 44, and computer programmer Jerrel Kenemore, 52, in separate incidents in the western state of Tachira, according to a person familiar with investigations into the arrests. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the cases publicly.
Hernandez is from Los Angeles; Kenemore is from the Dallas area, but had lived in Colombia since 2019.
A third American was arrested in January, also for allegedly entering the country illegally along its lengthy border with Colombia. AP is withholding his name at the request of his family, which fears retaliation.
At least eight more Americans — including five oil executives and three veterans — remain imprisoned in Venezuela, and U.S. officials insist they are being used as political bargaining chips.
The latest arrests come amid efforts by the Biden administration to unwind the Trump-era policy of punishing Maduro for what they consider his trampling on Venezuela’s democracy. Instead, Biden officials are trying to lure him back into negotiations with the U.S.-backed opposition to pave the way for free and fair elections.
As part of that still-early outreach, the U.S. has dangled the possibility of easing sanctions on the OPEC nation — a move that, over time, could also help lower oil prices, which spiked following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The release of two Americans on March 8 was celebrated in Washington, giving a boost to the Biden administration’s outreach to Maduro. It’s not clear what impact, if any, the jailing of three more Americans will have on relations with Maduro, a close ally of Russia whom the U.S. has sanctioned and indicted on narcotics charges.
The State Department confirmed the three arrests and a spokesperon said officials are advocating for the immediate release of all wrongfully detained Americans in Venezuela.
Beyond any political fallout, the arrests point to what U.S. officials consider an alarming trend: the arrest of unsuspecting Americans along the Colombia-Venezuela border, a lawless area dominated by criminal gangs and leftist rebels. Americans trying to enter Venezuela without a visa are especially vulnerable.
Despite Maduro’s often fiery rhetoric against the U.S. “empire,” there’s no indication he is targeting Americans for arrest.
But with the South American country torn apart after years of political unrest, hyperinflation and devastating food shortages, Maduro’s grip on his poorly paid security forces is constrained. That’s created an opening for criminal elements and hardliners looking to spoil Maduro’s talks with the U.S.
“There’s a lot of different centers of power in Venezuela and not all of them are aligned with Maduro or share his goal of seeing talks with the U.S. advance,” said Phil Gunson, a Caracas-based analyst for the International Crisis Group.
In one arrest report seen by the AP, Venezuelan military counterintelligence agents justified their actions by citing the U.S.’s “constant threats, economic blockade, and breaking of diplomatic relations.”
Some top Venezuelan officials also justify the arrest of Americans. In a June 13 press conference announcing the arrest of another, unnamed American, Socialist party leader Diosdado Cabello said: “They have their plans against our country.”
Hernandez, who was arrested March 31, was supposed to appear in court on Monday but the hearing was postponed.
Hernandez migrated to Los Angeles as a toddler with his parents, who were fleeing civil war in El Salvador. After graduating from the University of California Los Angeles law school, he turned down lucrative jobs to instead work as a public defender representing indigent and sometimes homeless defendants, a sign of his charitable spirt, friends and relatives said.
Like Maduro, Hernandez loves salsa music and has a history of labor activism. An avid traveler, Hernandez was taking a short break from work when he traveled to Colombia, where he’s been several times before, his brother said. Right before he was due home, he accompanied a Venezuelan friend to the border. His family said it was never his intention to go to Venezuela, nor would he knowingly break the law.
Hernandez’s friend is also being held and faces the additional charge of migrant smuggling, according to the person familiar with investigation.
“My entire family deeply misses my brother,” Henry Martinez, who also lives in Los Angeles, said in a statement. “He has worked his entire career serving marginalized people and he is truly the best of us. We hope and pray that Eyvin can return home very soon from this mistaken arrest.”
Two weeks before Hernandez’s arrest, Kenemore was taken into custody in similarly murky circumstances.
According to Kenemore’s family, he had been living in Colombia for over a year with a Venezuelan woman he met online when both were getting over divorces. The two shared a small apartment where Kenemore was working remotely for a client in the U.S., but had decided to relocate to Venezuela, where his girlfriend had a home.
Kenemore’s family said he was detained by migration officials upon entering Venezuela, according to a GoFundMe page they set up to pay for his defense. They posted on the crowdfunding platform what they said was the last photo of him before his arrest, near a Colombian border checkpoint on the Simon Bolivar international bridge.
Prosecutors allege that Kenemore, his girlfriend and three others entered the country on a nearby dirt trail, one of hundreds of irregular crossings used daily by Venezuelans shuttling between the countries for groceries, medical appointments and to visit family. They said he was carrying three laptops and was accompanied by a captain in the Venezuelan navy, something that also raised suspicions.
Like Hernandez, Kenemore was charged with criminal association and conspiracy — crimes punishable with up to 16 years in jail. His girlfriend is also being held.
“Jerrel is a good American, Christian man,” Jeana Kenemore Tillery, his sister, said in a phone interview. “All he wanted to do was be with the woman he loved. His sisters, children and grandson miss him very much and we just want him home.”
In April, the State Department warned about threats to Americans along the Colombia-Venezuela border. It recommended Americans avoid all travel to Venezuela, and never enter without a visa, which is nearly impossible to obtain since the U.S. broke diplomatic relations with Maduro in 2019.
According to Venezuelan law, foreigners found in the country without a visa are to be immediately deported.
But for reasons that are unclear, all three men arrested earlier this year were transferred hundreds of miles away to the capital, Caracas, to a maximum security prison housing many of Maduro’s opponents.
Americans jailed in Venezuela are at a disadvantage when it comes to seeking help from their government. The U.S. closed its hilltop Embassy in Caracas in 2019, after recognizing opposition lawmaker Juan Guaidó as the nation’s legitimate leader.
The United Nations has long complained about the lack of independence for Venezuelan judges as well as the facility where the Americans are being held.
“It’s not a legal system one wants to get trapped in,” said Gunson of the International Crisis Group.

On July 17, 1908, the Daily News printed a rebuttal by John Moltenberry, chief of the Bowling Green Fire Department, denying accusations alleging his department failed to suppress a fire at Major Covington’s home outside city limits.
Moltenberry protested that both of their two horse-drawn wagons were busy at three separate fires in the city, and that if fire should occur in the city while the department was outside the city limits, a property holder or insurance company sustaining the loss could sue the city. The Covington home, known as Elmgrove, was valued at $20,000, over half a million dollars in today’s economy.

Galesburg father, son sentenced to federal prison in methamphetamine case
ROCK ISLAND, Ill. – A Galesburg father and son were sentenced Thursday to federal prison for procuring kilograms of methamphetamine to distribute in Galesburg.
Gilbert Dean Bicknell, 53, was sentenced to 13 years, while Michael Gilbert Dean Bicknell, 28, was sentenced to 14 years. They will serve five years of supervised release once they complete their prison sentence. There is no parole in the federal system.
At the sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Rock Island, federal prosecutors presented evidence that the Bicknells were working together in early 2020 to procure kilograms of methamphetamine for distribution in the Galesburg area.
Michael Bicknell pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine in February, while Gilbert Bicknell pleaded guilty in August.

An ex-White House aide says Mark Meadows told her not to quit after the 2020 election because Trump wasn't leaving office
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Donald Trump45th President of the United States
- Mark MeadowsAmerican politician
Alyssa Farah Griffin, an ex-White House official, discussed the Jan. 6 hearings on CNN.
Griffin said Mark Meadows claimed Donald Trump would remain in power after his 2020 defeat.
Griffin resigned from her White House role after Trump's defeat.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former White House communications director, said that she was told by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that Donald Trump would not be leaving office in the wake of his 2020 election defeat.
Griffin in a CNN appearance Tuesday discussed the day's January 6 committee hearing. At the hearing, witnesses described a chaotic December 18, 2020, White House meeting where allies of Trump pressed him to seize voting machines to cling onto power after his election defeat, and pushed wild conspiracy theories.
In the interview, Griffin said she had tried to discover who had let the group, which included Michael Flynn and Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, into the White House.
"Who waived them?" Griffin asked on CNN. "Which is putting them through security to get onto White House grounds. We don't even have that answer now."
She speculated that it had been Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff at the time, one of the most ardent backers of Trump's bid to retain power despite his defeat. Meadows' actions have been among the key focuses of the inquiry.
"I suspect it was Mark Meadows and I say that because I can tell you before I resigned, I said 'Sir, I'm planning to move on, I want to put in my notice.' And he said to me, 'What if I could tell you we're actually going to be staying?' You can interpret that as hypothetical, but there were people around the president telling him that, and that's what led to this absolute insanity," Griffin said.
A spokesman for Meadows, Ben Williamson, told Insider that neither of Griffins's claims are accurate.
The New York Times has previously reported that Garrett Zielger, and aide to former White House official Peter Navarro, admitted the group to the White House on December 18. This circumvented the usual procedure for gaining access to the Oval Office, which would've required the approval of the chief of staff, Meadows.
Griffin resigned from her position on December 3, 2020, having served in several prominent communications roles for the Trump administration.
More recently, she has criticized Trump's bid to overturn the 2020 election, claiming her MAGA-supporting father boycotted her wedding as a consequence. She has said that Trump acknowledged to her that he had lost to Biden in 2020, and has praised Jan. 6 committee star witness Cassidy Hutchinson, also a former White House official.

Childbirth healthcare costs $3K more than average, study says
Published: Jul. 13, 2022 at 8:57 AM CDT|Updated: 58 minutes ago
(CNN) - Women who give birth end up having higher medical bills compared to women who are childless.
A new study from the Kaiser Family Foundation reports that mothers will pay nearly $3,000 more in out-of-pocket health care expenses for their pregnancy, birth and postpartum treatment.
The findings are based on health insurance claims from the years 2018 through 2020 for females between 15 and 49 years old.
Women who had cesarean sections paid 77% more than those who gave birth naturally.
The researchers say these pregnancy-related expenses are higher than many families can afford.

One of Retail’s Worst Performers Gets a New Bull

While 2022 has been tough for retail in general, Bath & Body Works has seen more than 60% of its value go down the drain this year. Raymond James argues the selloff has gone too far.
Analyst Olivia Tong initiated coverage of Bath & Body Works (ticker: BBWI) with a Strong Buy rating and $45 price target, arguing that once comparable sales normalize, the personal-care retailer has a long runway of growth ahead. | https://www.barrons.com/articles/bath-body-works-stock-bull-51657719206 | 2022-07-13T14:57:16Z | https://www.barrons.com/articles/bath-body-works-stock-bull-51657719206 | true | null |
Is the Crypto Collapse Finally Over? Which Ticker to Look at First

Crypto assets have seen a massive fall from their late 2021 highs. Coinbase Global (COIN) has fallen 78.5% year-to-date due to the highly uncertain macroeconomic environment. Despite its poor financials, the company remains bullish on its investments in decentralized finance and NFTs. However, given the unfavorable analyst estimates about COIN's financials, will it be wise to invest in the stock? Read on to learn our view….
Financial technology company Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN) offers retailers the primary financial account in the crypto economy, a marketplace with a pool of liquidity for transacting in crypto assets for institutions, and technology and services that enable ecosystem partners to build crypto-based applications and securely accept crypto-asset payments.
The highly uncertain macroeconomic environment driven by the Fed's aggressive interest rate hikes and surging inflation has kept the stock market under pressure since the beginning of the year. All major crypto assets and shares of companies whose businesses are dependent on the crypto assets were not spared of the stress either.
Because of the uncertainties, investors have dumped the riskier assets and opted for relatively secure, less risky assets. Major cryptocurrencies bitcoin and Ethereum have corrected 58.2% and 71.8% year-to-date, respectively. The negative market sentiments and the rapid price declines of digital currencies have affected COIN.
On June 14, 2022, COIN announced that it would lay off 18% of its total workforce. COIN CEO Brian Armstrong in an email, said, "We appear to be entering a recession after a 10+ year economic boom. A recession could lead to another crypto winter and could last for an extended period. While it's hard to predict the economy or the markets, we always plan for the worst so we can operate the business through any environment."
COIN's stock has declined 78.5% in price year-to-date and 78.1% over the past year to close the last trading session at $54.24. It is currently trading 85.3% below its 52-week high of $368.90, which it hit on November 9, 2021.
However, with the company working on improving operating efficiencies, it might withstand the macroeconomic headwinds better than other crypto-based businesses. COIN's revenues and earnings have taken a hit in the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, as total trading volume plummeted with retail traders trading less due to rapidly falling prices of digital currencies.
COIN is investing heavily in products such as Coinbase Wallet and Coinbase NFT to fuel its next growth phase. While traders mainly use crypto assets for quick financial gains, COIN hopes its products will create a system where crypto can be used for real transactions.
Here's what could influence COIN's performance in the upcoming months:
Disappointing Financials
COIN's total revenue declined 35.2% year-over-year to $1.16 billion for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. The company's operating loss came in at $554.46 million, compared to an operating income of $987.71 million.
Its net loss came in at $429.65 million, compared to a net income of $771.46 million in the year-ago period. Also, its loss per share came in at $1.98, compared to an EPS of $3.05 in the year-ago period. Furthermore, its adjusted EBITDA declined 98.2% year-over-year to $19.68 million.
Unfavorable Analyst Estimates
Analysts expect COIN's EPS and revenue for fiscal 2022 is expected to decline 153.7% and 48.5% year-over-year to $7.79 and $4.03 billion, respectively. Its EPS for fiscal 2023 is expected to remain negative.
Mixed Valuation
In terms of forward EV/S, COIN's 2.50x is 7.2% lower than the 2.70x industry average. Likewise, its 3.26x trailing-12-month EV/EBITDA is 64% lower than the 9.07x industry average. And the stock's 2.30x forward P/B is 111.8% higher than the 1.09x industry average. Also, its 3.01x forward P/S is 8% higher than the 2.78x industry average.
POWR Ratings Reflect Bleak Prospects
COIN has an overall D rating, equating to a Sell in our POWR Ratings system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by considering 118 distinct factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.
Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. COIN has an F grade for Sentiment, in sync with its unfavorable analyst estimates.
It has an F grade for Growth, consistent with its poor financials.
COIN is ranked #127 out of 156 stocks in the Software Application industry. Click here to access COIN's ratings for Value, Momentum, Stability, and Quality.
Bottom Line
With the current uncertain macroeconomic environment, COIN is expected to face a slowdown in its business. The company's monthly transacting users (MTUs) and total trading volumes are expected to decline due to falling crypto prices and increased volatility.
However, the company believes that the current market conditions are not permanent, and its investments in other products will drive its growth once the volatility in the market declines.
Given COIN's disappointing financials and unfavorable analyst estimates, it could be wise to avoid the stock now.
How Does Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN) Stack Up Against Its Peers?
COIN has an overall POWR Rating of D, equating to a Sell rating. Therefore, one might want to consider investing in other Software Application stocks with an A (Strong Buy) or B (Buy) rating, such as Rimini Street, Inc. (RMNI), Commvault Systems, Inc. (CVLT), and Open Text Corporation (OTEX).
COIN shares fell $54.24 (-100.00%) in premarket trading Wednesday. Year-to-date, COIN has declined -78.51%, versus a -19.22% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Meijer achieved Gold-level status as a Veteran-Friendly Employer (VFE) from the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) for its commitment to hiring, retaining and supporting military veterans.
Meijer is the first retailer to earn the MVAA's prestigious Gold-level honor as a VFE and is only the 20th to receive the Gold-level status, an achievement reached by just 3 percent of the more than 532 Michigan VFEs.
"Given the numerous Michigan team members identifying as veteran or active-duty service men and women, this recognition means a lot to us," said Tim Williams, Vice President of Diversity & Inclusion at Meijer. "Our focus is not just on hiring those who served, but also offering a workplace that values the unique strengths their service provides and offers the resources they need to thrive."
One such resource is mVets, the retailer's team member affinity group devoted to creating a safe space for service members, veterans and their allies to build community and share their voices and experiences. Meijer mVets Co-Lead, Director of Food Safety & Quality Compliance and current Army Reserve Col. Thomas McMahan played a significant role in building the submission describing the retailer's commitment to serving Meijer military service members, veterans and their families that secured the retailer's Gold-level VFE certification.
"The work mVets is doing is important to our team members," said McMahan, who's served in the U.S. Army Reserve for more than 30 years. "Not only are we supporting active and veteran service members and their families, but we're also helping to build an environment of education and understanding around what it means to have served."
MVAA, the state's central coordinating agency for Michigan's more than 550,000 veterans, launched the VFE program 8 years ago to support, recognize and enhance employers' veteran-centric initiatives. Starting with just 10 companies in 2014, the VFE program has grown to include 532 employers – 20 Gold, 57 Silver and 455 Bronze.
"Meijer is a Michigan staple and I am proud to see them become a Gold-level Veteran-Friendly Employer," MVAA Director Zaneta Adams said. "Our veterans are equipped with valuable skills and abilities that make them excellent job candidates and we are proud to see one of the nation's most trusted retailers join the ranks of other Gold-level VFEs. The work they do to hire, retain and support our veterans is part of what makes Michigan a great place to live, raise a family, work and retire."
Through the VFE program, employers are certified Bronze, Silver or Gold depending on their commitment to recruiting, training and retaining veterans. Bronze-Level Employers must commit to hiring a specific number of veterans, among other requirements, while Silver-Level Employers must meet all Bronze requirements and implement a certain number of veteran-friendly programs, such as on-the-job training.
Gold-Level VFEs must meet all Bronze and Silver requirements, show they retain a significant number of veteran employees over a 12-month period and implement a set number of veteran-centric programs.
About Meijer: Meijer is a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer that operates 262 supercenters and grocery stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin.

Three From Louisiana Killed in Early Morning Single-Vehicle Crash on LA 16. Louisiana – Louisiana State Police reported that on Sunday, July 10th, 2022, shortly after 5:00 a.m., Troopers from LSP Troop L responded to a single-vehicle fatal crash on LA 16 at the intersection of LA 25 in Washington Parish. The crash killed Juan Munoz, 29, of Covington, Louisiana, Ramon Munoz, 32, of Covington, Louisiana, and Martin Vega, 22, of Folsom, Louisiana. The initial investigation led Troopers to believe that the crash occurred while Juan Munoz was driving a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado east on LA 16. As the vehicle approached the intersection with LA 25, the driver failed to stop and continued straight ahead, colliding head-on with a large tree. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662521352139/driver-of-18-wheeler-rescued-from-water-after-tanker-overturned-on-i-10-twin-span-bridge-towards-new-orleans | 2022-07-13T14:58:37Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662521352139/driver-of-18-wheeler-rescued-from-water-after-tanker-overturned-on-i-10-twin-span-bridge-towards-new-orleans | true | null |
Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts launches new study on blended travel, accelerating plans to build 107 hotels in the next three years and renovate 50 percent of its existing estate globally.
- As competition for talent intensifies, a new study from Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts reveals that Millennial (65%) and Gen Z (59%) consumers are more inclined to work for a company that offers frequent travel or flexible (work + leisure) travel possibilities as a perk
- Today's consumer (54%) believes flexibility in working hours is just as important as a high salary (56%) or a four-day work week (36%)
- The brand's 'Blended Travel' white paper says that four in five business executives worry that, unless they increase business travel, their professional (80%) and personal lives (80%) will suffer*
ATLANTA, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the arrival of the first peak travel season since the beginning of the pandemic, a new survey commissioned by Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts - part of IHG Hotels & Resorts and one of the world's largest premium hotel brands - which polled over 1,200 US consumers, reveals Millennials (25 to 44 years old) (65%) and Gen Z (18 to 24 years old) (59%) consumers are more inclined to work for a company that offers frequent travel or flexible (work + leisure) blended travel possibilities as a perk.
As many US businesses struggle to find and retain workers, employees are in a stronger bargaining position. Employers looking to retain or attract talent must act to harness this increased desire for blended travel as, despite the cost-of-living crisis, YouGov research reveals that today's consumer views flexibility in working hours as equal importance when choosing where to work (54%), to high salary (56%).
The evolution of remote work, as a result of the pandemic, combined with the renewed ability to connect in person is adding to this trend and speeding up Crowne Plaza's plans for further hotel openings to keep up with demand. The brand looks to extend its stronghold, building 107 new hotels (27,342 rooms) in the next three years alongside renovating 50% of its existing portfolio consisting of over 400 hotels.
Of those surveyed by YouGov, 31% believe that combining work travel and leisure would allow them to progress further in their career and also 39% said that it would increase their happiness levels. Meanwhile, the brand's 'Blended Travel' white paper says four in five* business executives worry that, unless they increase business travel, their professional (80%) and personal lives (80%) will suffer.
The survey reveals that 35% of US consumers believe that it would be beneficial to them, and allow them greater flexibility, to combine work with a leisure trip abroad. Nearly two-fifths (36%) would add on average two to three more leisure days on to future business trips and feel a bit to more confident in traveling this summer if their holiday was blended into a work trip.
Top reasons for wanting to travel for work amongst consumers include to discover new places, countries, and cultures (48%). Crowne Plaza has reported an uplift in business travel stays at its hotels, with leading hotels for combined travel and work being Crowne Plaza HY36 Midtown Manhattan, Crowne Plaza North Augusta, Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia, Crowne Plaza Phoenix – Chandler Golf Resort, and Crowne Plaza Asheville.
'As US employers struggle to fill vacancies, there is pressure on them to attract and retain the best talent. We've been playing in this space for many years, and we closely monitored evolving work and leisure trends. The shift since the pandemic has accelerated dramatically. Across our hotels and resorts, we've seen an uplift in those who blend work travel with leisure, and with 107 new hotels in the pipeline during the next three years, Crowne Plaza has already laid the groundwork by creating spaces and a service style that are specifically catering to these desires. People want in-person connections, and they also want the space to satisfy demands outside of the traditional 9-5 to enhance their well-being,' said Ginger Taggart, Vice President, Brand Management, Global Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts.
To explore the changing needs of its guests in relation to the uplift in demand for combined work and leisure travel, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts and one of the world's largest premium hotel brands, has launched the first 'Blended Travel' white paper by a hospitality brand: The Future of Blended Travel.
The 'Blended Travel' white paper, developed in partnership with global trends and insights business, Stylus, identifies four emerging sub-trends that speak to guest's evolving needs:
Travel for both leisure and work are back – but it's different now. Guests of Crowne Plaza are rediscovering what's special about the brand: it's the only premium hotel offering with purposefully designed service and spaces which lend themselves to a blended lifestyle. From Plaza Workspace, a grouping of work and relaxation areas including the private, creative Studio zones that enable guests to work, eat and play, to the signature bar, providing a dynamic environment to socialize, work, and relax, Crowne Plaza's design is purposely built to promote connections and encourage informal gatherings. The brand's perfectly balanced and patented WorkLife Room offers a combination of comfort, connectivity and flexibility with distinct zones that maximize space for work, relaxation and sleep.
With premium hotels currently based in more than 409 locations in city, airport, leisure & suburban destinations, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts has properties spanning across 63 countries - everywhere the modern business traveler wants to stay for blended travel to recharge and refuel.

After spending 15 years away from the family business, Caitlin McKenzie took the reins as CEO for Monk Office in the middle of 2018, marking the third generation of the family to head up the company.
Caitlin, who grew up in Victoria, started in the business dusting shelves and sweeping as a kid when her father had to go into the office, and eventually graduated to working Saturdays in the retail stores once she turned 13.
“I continued to work in office retail stores until past graduation, and then I did a few years full time. And then my dad said I had to leave, because if Monk was ever going to be a part of my future, I needed to have some outside experience that I could bring back and be of value,” she says.
Caitlin worked as an assistant to a life insurance agent and as a cashier for Thrifty Foods for a number of years. Then she worked with Oak Bay Marine Group, which took her to the Bahamas to help run a boutique hotel there. And then in 2016 a job opportunity opened up with Monk’s school supply program.
“I could see myself in that role and it was an opportunity to get my foot back in the door at Monk,” she says. Caitlin applied, interviewed and got the job, leading to what she calls a “challenging year.”
“From a personal standpoint, I was going through a lot in my life, not really knowing where I belonged or what I should be doing, and I wanted to see if Monk Office was going to be a part of my future,” she explains.
She admits that she hadn’t expected at the time to be where she is now, but a conversation over martinis with her dad in 2018 put her on the spot.
“He says ‘the time has come and I have two questions for you: do you want the job, and do you think you can do it?’ I was terrified,” says Caitlin with a laugh, “because I would never want to take on something with this kind of legacy behind it without genuinely and confidently thinking I could do it. But by the end of that martini, the answer was yes to both of them.”
Once at the helm, Caitlin re-established a strong family-minded culture within the business and then successfully—though not without stress—navigated the pandemic and its fallout.
And then in January of this year, Caitlin had the opportunity to carry on another legacy when Monk purchased Island Blue Art and Framing from the retiring Shemilt family. Island Blue, which first began as a map-making company in 1912, has a long and respected history in the local community, and to be able to safeguard its future was hugely important to Caitlin and Monk Office.
“To know that we were going to stay true to our promises to the Shemilt family, and integrate Island Blue Art and Framing into the Monk Office family and maintain a presence on the island, was very satisfying,” says Caitlin. “If you’re from Victoria you know how important supporting local is, and it’s worth its weight in gold to maintain those relationships and those connections to the community. Island Blue has certainly been a bright light for us. It was a long time coming.”
The 7 Sins
Envy:
Whose shoes would you like to walk in?
There are certainly people I admire, but I’m not sure whose shoes to choose! Instead, I’ll say that I would want to walk in someone’s shoes who has survived adversity and come out the other side not jaded. Just to see how they actually managed it all. As we all know, adversity is just a thing about life, but it’s how humans manage it and how we strengthen ourselves that I find extraordinarily inspiring.
Gluttony:
What is the food you could eat over and over again?
Mashed potatoes. Thick, creamy (but not whipped!), riddled with butter, garlic, salt and pepper, and some cream cheese in there.
Greed:
You’re given $1 million that you have to spend selfishly. What would you spend it on?
A weekly delivery service of fresh flowers, a piece of jewellery—likely a ring—and three extended vacations. One to Europe and the UK, one to South America and one to the Bahamas. Each of those areas of the world offer me different, but important things I need in my life: non-judgmental culture, my heritage and heat.
Wrath:
Pet peeves?
Loud yawns and people talking through their yawns! If you’re not sitting next to a person when you hear them yawning you can never tell if they’re alright…it’s alarming and always far too dramatic.
Sloth:
Where would you spend a long time doing nothing?
A quiet place with a view (specifically, Shawnigan Lake or Tofino), drinking wine and sharing the space with the person I love. But whether I’m surrounded by water or mountains, it wouldn’t matter. I love sitting in silence and just thinking and looking around. I’m in my head a lot and silence helps me focus on what’s right in front of me, or what I’ve been avoiding.
Pride:
What is the one thing you’re secretly proud of?
Being an Auntie. Be it by blood relation or by friendship, I love being an Auntie. As someone who doesn’t have children of her own, I find it such an honour to be an important part of a kiddo’s life. There is a really special bond there and it makes me feel happy. Once they get to an appropriate age, I put in place the rule that they can trust me with absolutely anything, unless they’re in danger. Then I have to tell their parents.
Lust:
What makes your heart beat faster?
LOVE. When I see that face, hear that voice, feel that touch. It’s magic. Pure magic.

At Valley Health, each of our over 6,000 associates, 750 physicians and advanced practice providers are caregivers.
We use the word caregiver to describe ourselves because even though we aren’t all nurses, physicians, or other healthcare professionals, we each play a role and have dedicated ourselves to assuring we offer the safest, highest quality, and most compassionate experience to every patient and their family.
Not surprisingly, no one dedicates themselves to working in a place of healing with the thought that they will be verbally abused, threatened, or even assaulted.
Sadly though, instances of verbal and physical assault on healthcare workers are on the rise nationally and this disappointing trend is also reflected locally in our hospitals and other places we provide care.
The evidence is clear — healthcare professionals face a significantly elevated risk of being victims of workplace violence. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicates that of the 20,870 private sector workers who experienced trauma from non-fatal workplace violence in 2019 resulting in missed days from work, 70% worked in healthcare and related fields.
That figure should be stunning to us as a society – 70% of these workplace incidents occur in a place meant for healing.
Labor data also shows that the incidence rate of violence against healthcare workers rose each year from 2011 to 2018.
Meanwhile, surveys conducted by the American College of Emergency Physicians and the Emergency Nurses Association indicate that almost half of emergency physicians report being physically assaulted at work, while about 70% of emergency nurses report being hit and kicked on the job.
In response to these conditions, hospitals across Virginia, including Valley Health, have implemented a range of safety and prevention programs including alerting systems, safety protocols, enhanced security personnel presence and more.
The welfare of our teams and patients is an ongoing topic of discussion among my hospital colleagues at the American Hospital Association, the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association and the West Virginia Hospital Association.
This growing epidemic of violence against healthcare workers calls for each of us to reflect upon the standards to which we will hold each other, and to question what it is that makes some people think it is permissible to hurt the very people to whom they came for care.
At Valley Health, we are committed to our work as caregivers and the sacred role we play as our community’s place of healing, but our standard and expectation of those we care for is simple: we have zero tolerance for verbal or physical abuse of our caregivers.
Mark Nantz is President and CEO of Valley Health, which operates Hampshire Memorial Hospital. | https://www.hampshirereview.com/news/article_c172985e-02a7-11ed-94e2-57dd2ad10705.html | 2022-07-13T15:02:27Z | https://www.hampshirereview.com/news/article_c172985e-02a7-11ed-94e2-57dd2ad10705.html | false | 1 |

Total grain intake is associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes
WASHINGTON, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A commentary just published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings presents data showing no evidence linking refined grain consumption with risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). Written by Glenn Gaesser, Ph.D., professor in the College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University, the commentary includes data from all published observational cohort studies that looked at the associations between refined grain intake and risk of T2D. Based on findings from 11 different populations of adults, totaling nearly 400,000 men and women, results revealed no relation between consumption of refined grains and risk of T2D.
These findings refute the commonly held belief that refined and non-whole grains can directly lead to T2D when consumed. Eating refined staple grain foods, such as breads, cereals, and pasta were not associated with T2D risk, and total grain intake was consistently associated with lower risk of T2D. Even in studies that included indulgent grain foods such as cakes, cookies, sweet rolls, and muffins in the refined grain food category, no association with T2D risk was observed. However, several studies included in the review indicated that high consumption of white rice may increase risk of T2D but appeared to be mainly in Asian populations.
"While these findings may seem surprising after years of maligning grains, in particular refined grains, there is actually a simple explanation," said Dr. Gaesser. "Much of the research linking refined grain consumption to T2D risk is based on dietary patterns, which typically categorizes refined grains along with red and processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages, French fries, and high-fat dairy products. It is important to note the distinct difference between the higher-risk categories like red and processed meat and sugar-sweetened beverages, compared with the refined grains category, which is often mistakenly associated with the aforementioned contributors to T2D."
Adds Dr. Gaesser: "It's important to remember that most refined grains consumed in America are enriched with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, iron, and folic acid, and include many other essential nutrients that help make up for nutritional deficiencies that can occur in some American diets. Grains are much healthier than people give them credit for."
"This study continues to provide evidence to what we have been saying for years: it is ok, and even healthy, to eat grains," said Erin Ball, GFF's Acting Executive Director. "Whether it is a bowl of fortified breakfast cereal, a whole grain sandwich at lunch or even a small cookie eaten as part of a celebration, grains enrich both our lives and our health."
The full commentary can be viewed here. This work was supported in part by the Grain Foods Foundation. For more information about the Foundation, research findings, and grain foods' role in a healthful diet, visit www.GrainFoodsFoundation.org.

JAMES CITY — Albert Williamson wakes up every morning to see his life hanging on the wall.
There’s his mother and his father, his seven siblings, his best friend — with whom he fought with in the war — his wife. Many have passed on. And there are the generations who have come after him, too — his four children, his 11 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
“I’ve had a good life,” Williamson said with a small smile.
Williamson, a World War II veteran, a former accountant, a father and a beloved grandpa affectionately nicknamed “Old Man Jenkins,” will celebrate his 100th birthday on July 17. He’ll be surrounded by family and friends who have traveled across the country to be with him at his home in James City County, where he’s lived for the past seven years.
Williamson enlisted in the military when he was 20 years old, shortly after the Pearl Harbor attack. After being rejected for a middle ear infection, he and a friend, who had been rejected for a hernia, came up with a plan to get into the military.
“We went down together and we stripped down buck naked, as bare as you can get,” Williamson said. “He took my paper and I took his … I took his paper and it got okayed. We cheated a little bit, but we got called for the next draft.”
In his time in the Air Force, Williamson worked as a radio operator and went to gunnery school. He worked 30 missions, nine of which he completed with the same crew, who he “loved like brothers,” Williamson said. He flew missions on D-Day and went on to teach at radio school.
Williamson came from a military family — his father and two brothers all served in different branches of the military — while Williamson was the only one in the Air Force. Even Williamson’s son wound up enlisting.
After the bombing at Nagasaki, Japan, in August of 1945, Williamson returned home. Two short months later, he married to his wife, Ruth. They knew each other in high school and reconnected after the war.
“We’ve been married 70 years, nine months and one week,” Williamson said.
They traveled all over the country, living places like Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Florida. By happenstance, they came across the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force in Pooler, Georgia, and found a liking to it. Williamson bought a crypt for their ashes to be together and Ruth’s wedding dress, made out of a parachute, was donated to the museum.
She died in 2016 but still makes Williamson laugh — a portrait from her youth gleams from his dresser, signed “No darling, I don’t have bugs” as her hands reach up into her hair.
They raised their four children in Massachusetts and lived there for 30 years. Robyn Johns has fond memories of her childhood.
“We had a great childhood,” Johns said. “We’d pack up the station wagon and we’d all drive to Florida, that was our family vacation once a year. He’d give us wheelbarrow rides in the backyard and that kind of stuff. It was a really good way to grow up.”
It hasn’t all been cheer — Williamson had several family members struggle with alcoholism and he came to the Williamsburg area to live with Johns in 2015 after he could no longer care for his wife. He himself was once in hospice care, but he recovered.
“My life has been good. There’s bad parts and there’s always the ugly parts,” Williamson said. “But I can’t complain once.”
Williamson now spends his days spending time with family, keeping up with anniversaries and birthdays, writing letters and the occasional speaking to students about his time in WWII.
He’s a favorite with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, always watching them run around at the large family gatherings they try to hold every year.
A famous saying of his, “I hate kids,” has become a family inside joke and produced two “I hate kids” t-shirts. But, for someone who hates kids, Williamson is very close with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
“He has a calendar in his bedroom with everyone’s birthdays, anniversaries, how old they are how many years they’ve been married. So when I need to know whose birthday it is, I go to him,” Johns said. “He always sends cards to everyone with a check in it, which they call a ticket.”
Williamson’s cards are so infamous that his great-granddaughter has his classic insignia, “Much love,” tattooed on her arm in his handwriting.
“My dad’s always been so good-hearted,” Johns said. “He always tried to do that, tried to reach out to people.”

"REACH METHOD" TURNS THE WORKPLACE INTO A FOUR-YEAR DEGREE PATHWAY
FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
OAKLAND, Calif., July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Reach University, the pioneer in apprenticeship-based, job-embedded degrees, announced today the continued national expansion of the Reach Method, its apprenticeship-to-degree model, and the launch of a new associate-to-bachelor's transfer pathway, which connects community college graduates to employers and degree-conferring jobs.
As the first U.S.-based apprenticeship-to-degree university, serving undergraduates of all backgrounds and post-secondary educational levels, Reach University has aided hundreds of students – known as "candidates" – in earning teaching credentials and degrees in urban and rural communities across California and the southeast. Reach's accredited programs are purpose-built to meet the epidemic teacher shortage in the U.S.
"A staggering five million students walk into classrooms every day without a qualified permanent teacher to take the helm, and we see urban and rural communities affected most," said Dr. Mallory Dwinal-Palisch, Chancellor, Reach University. "But, in the very same building, there are capable adults – classroom aides, paraprofessionals, coaches – who, with the right training and degree, could be upskilled to fill these critical vacancies. So, we've flipped how we think of higher education and turned workplaces into learning places, where jobs lead to degrees instead of the other way around."
In partnership with state education agencies, Reach is currently equipping school districts in Alabama, Arkansas, California, and Louisiana with the possibility of eliminating their systemic teacher shortages within the decade. Reach has now turned its eye to serve a growing number of additional states, including Texas, Tennessee, Colorado, Mississippi and others.
"The state of Louisiana has now solidified its leadership in addressing longstanding teacher shortages, while getting us that much closer to our statewide goal of creating diversified pathways into a degree and career," said Dr. Cade Brumley, Louisiana State Superintendent of Education. "We no longer need to look beyond our own communities to source great talent, find strong academic and professional opportunities, and ultimately ensure every student has an exceptional educational experience."
Drawing on the German Berufsakademie dual-track system, Reach's methodology enables a new era for the partnership between community colleges and employers, to the benefit of a broad swath of associate-to-bachelor's degree seekers.
In deploying a turnkey, stackable, and curriculum-ready apprenticeship model, employers are able to hire associate degree holders, placing each on a path to earning an undergraduate degree while working in-field, enabling a unique chance to source new talent pipelines, secure greater employee retention and growth, and redefine post-community college transfer opportunities.
"Community colleges are preparing hundreds of thousands of learners for the workplace each year, but the skills of A.A. degree holders have been historically overlooked. This is a missed opportunity for employers and learners alike. Programs like Reach University's are important because they offer a needed solution for enabling employers to attract, hire, and invest in high-potential community college graduates, who too often find themselves shut out from jobs that they may otherwise be well-equipped for," said Matt Sigelman, President of The Burning Glass Institute.
Reach's curriculum is deployed at scale, removing the high cost structure and challenges traditionally seen by employers in offering U.S. apprenticeships. With ease of deployment, a growing number of employers are not only embracing education as a benefit, but also pledging to expand talent recruitment to remove historical barriers, such as an undergraduate degree.
"We are thrilled to embrace this innovative model! The Reach program affords new economic opportunities for its participants, while building a pipeline of professionals ready and able to provide the equitable, hands-on education all of our students deserve. Reach has allowed us to bring talented individuals into our organization who would have previously been overlooked because they were yet to earn a bachelor's degree," said Robin Detterman, Chief Program Officer, Seneca Family of Agencies. "We encourage highly-motivated community college graduates to join us and embark on the Reach apprenticeship-to-degree journey to result in a high-growth and highly-fulfilling career."
Although serving students with its stackable programs for nearly a decade, Reach's model was offered broadly to undergraduates beginning in 2020, with an inaugural cohort of 100 candidates. By 2022, enrollments grew to over 600, with a waitlist exceeding a thousand candidates across a growing number of states, many of which were most motivated by the opportunity to secure a degree while working in-field, full-time.
In a climate of continued college enrollment declines, Reach's fall '22 admissions cycle saw the highest number of applications and enrollments on record, creating one of the strongest and most diverse pipelines into the teaching profession in a number of states.
"When you see the number of Registered Apprenticeship Programs, or RAPs, increasing year over year, while college enrollments steadily decline, the market signal is strikingly clear: millions of adults are forced to make a choice between a job and a degree, between one's present and one's future, and a paycheck talks," said Joe Ross, President, Reach University.
"The Reach Method makes it possible for learners to literally get paid to earn a degree – to obtain the skills and credentials they need – by going to work, instead of going into debt," Ross continued. "This is a win-win for hiring managers and job applicants, including those with less than a bachelor's degree. When employers re-imagine the workplace as a learning place, the talent comes running."
In utilizing existing funding sources to cover the cost of tuition, the Reach Method is offered to candidates in stark contrast to a traditional four-year degree. Students avoid crippling student loan debt and earn full-time, paraprofessional wages while completing their degree, resulting in equity and access for a diversity of students. Across all programs, over 90% of candidates are people of color, first-generation college students, single working parents, or from low-income families.
In Alabama, Dr. Heath Grimes, the Superintendent of Russellville City School District, is fully leveraging the Reach Method to address a demographic shift that has given rise to a large Spanish-speaking population in Russellville. Last year, Dr. Grimes hired Elizabeth Alonzo, a local community college graduate, in part of the district's pioneering "grow your own" program to develop bilingual educators. Today, Ms. Alonzo is an English as a Second Language (ESL) aide in the second grade. In a year, she expects to complete her bachelor's degree and become a teacher in Russellville. Other ESL aides in Russellville have since enrolled as well.
"We have bilingual aides now," Dr. Grimes said. "That's great, but in a couple of years, we're going to be able to hire three or four bilingual teachers, who come from the local community and who will have earned their bachelor's degree by working in our schools."
Ms. Alonzo, a Reach candidate and future teacher in Russellville, said: "With Reach, I've built upon what was an entry-level ESL role at West Elementary to quickly progress in my career and answer my true calling - to earn a bachelor's degree, become a teacher, and help the youth in my community know the world is full of possibilities for each and every one of them, regardless of where they come from. Reach has made achieving my dreams accessible and attainable, and I am thrilled for what lies ahead."
Reach University is a regionally accredited, non-profit university that pioneers debt-free apprenticeship-based degrees. Reach is actively solving America's teacher shortage by creating fully-embedded pathways for high-potential individuals to earn degrees, credentials and jobs as teachers within their own communities. By focusing on low-income, urban and rural regions, offering online tutorials and classes, and rendering academic credit for on-the-job experience, Reach University is eliminating barriers to entry in high-need professions, and building grow-your-own pipelines of locally representative talent.

Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC) is a leading telehealth company that helps patients reach doctors, regardless of where they're physically located. The service picked up steam amid the early stage of the coronavirus pandemic, and some investors have been concerned that its popularity could be fading.
Although the business has continued to do well in recent quarters, growth has slowed down. There are multiple questions about the company's operations that its upcoming quarterly results -- scheduled for July 27 -- will need to adequately answer to ensure that investors stick around.
Here are the top three burning questions I'll be looking to get answers on this quarter.
1. Can the company keep growing virtual visits?
Teladoc last reported its quarterly earnings in April, for the period ended March 31. In terms of virtual visits, they remained strong at 4.5 million. That's 35% higher than the year-ago period. However, the company's forecast for the upcoming quarter was lukewarm with a projection of 4.4 million to 4.6 million visits. That suggests Teladoc wasn't seeing significant growth at the time to warrant a generous forecast.
With people switching jobs amid the Great Resignation, creating gaps in healthcare coverage, and rising inflation keeping costs up, a relatively low-cost telehealth service should see strong demand. If Teladoc's numbers don't come in better than expected, that could be a sign that it still has a long way to go in convincing customers that it's a viable alternative to in-person visits, or that competition is heating up. Amwell, CVS Health, and even Amazon are a few examples of companies that also offer telehealth services.
2. Will membership finally show some strong growth?
A key metric that often doesn't get much attention on Teladoc's earnings reports is the number of U.S. paid memberships. Part of the reason is that the growth hasn't been all that impressive. Teladoc reported 53.6 million paid memberships as of the end of last year, just 3% higher than a year ago, when it had 51.8 million paid members. And at 54.3 million in Q1, they weren't a whole lot higher last period, either.
You don't need to be a member to gain access to the company's services; even people without insurance can set up a virtual visit. However, the real potential is in signing up businesses looking to provide telehealth services for their employees, which can quickly amplify Teladoc's virtual visits. This is why membership numbers can be of key importance. They can prove to investors how well Teladoc is growing its business.
It's of particular importance as Teladoc has invested into a new Primary360 care service, which promises robust, whole-person, virtual care for patients. On an earnings call earlier this year, CEO Jason Gorevic cited a 95% member satisfaction rate with the service. If it's as good as the business is saying it is, then the membership numbers should be rising -- at a better rate than just a few percentage points.
3. Can cash flow from operations turn positive?
In Q1, a lot of the focus on Teladoc's numbers were that its net loss was a staggering $6.7 billion. That was mainly due to goodwill impairment charges of $6.6 million. In essence, it was an acknowledgment that the company paid too much to acquire chronic-care company Livongo Health a few years ago.
I'd argue that the more important issue is Teladoc's operating cash flow. During the period, Teladoc used up $31.7 million to fund its day-to-day operations versus just $18 million in the prior-year period. At a time when investors are cautious of companies that aren't profitable and burning cash, Teladoc needs to show that it's going in the right direction.
Otherwise, investors could continue to sell off the stock -- year to date, it's down 54%. In comparison, the S&P 500 has fallen by just 18%.
Investors shouldn't rush to make any decisions
Even if Teladoc Health doesn't provide great answers on these questions, I'll probably remain invested in the business just because of the potential I see in it in the long haul. Teladoc isn't going to run out of money anytime soon, having reported more than $800 million in cash and cash equivalents last quarter, and the sector will only get bigger in the years ahead.
However, these are important questions to keep in mind when the healthcare company reports earnings as they will help investors track just how well Teladoc is doing.

LAPEL — A local business owner and a developer have plans to transform a 25-acre tract into housing and retail space along Ind. 32.
Andy Cole with BC Property and Bryan Stumpf of 11th Street Development are planning a 97-unit housing development with three different options and a commercial development.
The 25-acre site is located on Ind. 32 to the west of Lapel High School and borders on the town park.
Cole said the property is currently under contract for purchase with the plan to develop Woodward Place.
Stumpf said along Ind. 32 the conceptual plan calls for a 14,400 square foot grocery store and two retail strips containing another 46,200 square feet.
“There is a lot of interest,” he said.
The plan calls for the construction 55 single family homes, 20 fourplexes with a common area and 22 cottages that would be rental properties.
Stumpf said the cottages will front green space with parking to the rear of the buildings.
“We want to build a sense of community,” he said.
Cole said there will be walking trails throughout the property that will connect to Woodward Park and a retention pond that will be stocked for fishing.
Bridgenorth Homes will be the contractor for the construction of the residential units.
Currently the property is zoned commercial and agriculture and the Lapel Plan Commission is being asked to rezone the property for residential use.
The project is estimated to cost $8 million with work starting in the spring.
“BC Property is purchasing the property and 11th Street is our development partner,” Cole said. “There is a lot of excitement about the project.
“This is something we could do for the community,” he said. “This is something the town needs and wants. We’re trying to help the community.” | https://www.heraldbulletin.com/news/local_news/housing-retail-development-planned-for-lapel/article_ba6db704-02ad-11ed-b2e8-b7b8b719f151.html | 2022-07-13T15:16:32Z | https://www.heraldbulletin.com/news/local_news/housing-retail-development-planned-for-lapel/article_ba6db704-02ad-11ed-b2e8-b7b8b719f151.html | true | 1 |
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Standing in the middle of a barren farm field in northern Maine, Greg Porter walks the rows of dirt here with brown paper bags in one hand and white wooden stakes wrapped around his other.
Meticulously, he paces across this farm field, opening each numbered bag as he goes, marking down its location on a spreadsheet so that come harvest time in the fall, he knows exactly what he’s looking at.
Porter is part farmer and part researcher. He studies agriculture at the University of Maine in Presque Isle, a small rural community home to about 8,000 people that once was one of the nation’s largest producers of potatoes. They still produce plenty of spuds here, but Greg Porter isn’t farming potatoes for the money. He’s farming them for the future.
“We’re planting 45,000 different individual varieties of potatoes in this field. 45,000!” he remarked as he pulled out another handful of brown bags from his old GMC pickup truck.
Each brown bag Porter opens is filled with about 50 tubers; they’re essentially tiny potatoes. He and his research team have spent two years raising them in a greenhouse, combining thousands of different variations of potato parents to make potato offspring. Essentially, they’re trying to create the most efficient, most delicious potato out there.
These days though, the work in these fields is taking on new importance. With farmers across the country increasingly facing tougher growing conditions because of climate change, the hope is that somewhere in this field they harvest a new kind of potato that’s more resistant to climate change. Some may be able to tolerate higher temperatures and others may be able to handle more moisture.
“We’re developing DNA-based tools to stack the deck in our favor as we select them,” Porter added.
Last year, the potatoes industry in the United States was worth about $4 billion. All the more reason people like Don Flannery with the Maine Potato Board are paying close attention to the work Greg Porter and his team are doing.
“Potatoes are a high-input crop. It takes a lot of money to raise an acre of potatoes,” Flannery said sitting in his office surrounded by various pieces of potato memorabilia.
Aside from more extreme droughts and rain events, many of the varieties of potatoes being cultivated here need less fertilizer. With inflation and rising fertilizer prices, reducing any kind of costs for farmers could mean the difference between losing money and breaking even.
“If you’re not looking ahead and being proactive you’re usually behind in being reactive. Those that are gonna be successful in our business are the ones looking ahead,” Flannery added.
Back in the field, Porter and his team have started sending their potatoes to farms across the country to see how they hold up to growing conditions in states like Florida, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. The hope is to help potato farmers across this country produce the best tasting, most lucrative crops possible.
“The hope is we produce a few out of our 45,000 that have enough good characteristics that they’re worthy of commercial investment.” | https://www.krtv.com/news/national/researchers-are-working-to-create-potatoes-more-resistant-to-climate-change | 2022-07-13T15:21:17Z | https://www.krtv.com/news/national/researchers-are-working-to-create-potatoes-more-resistant-to-climate-change | true | 11 |

NEW YORK (AP) — In a city of stars, the Angels’ Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw will be in the spotlight July 19 at Dodger Stadium. “I think it’s been a couple of years since I got to compete in an All-Star Game, and something about Dodger Stadium, too, is special,” Kershaw said after pitchers and reserves were announced Sunday. “I don’t take that for granted. Like I said before, I hope I didn’t take anybody’s spot that was more deserving than me, but now that it’s official and I get to do it, I am very excited about it.” A year after he became the first two-way All-Star, Ohtani was picked for the American League pitching staff as a Major League Baseball selection, two days after he was elected by fans to start at designated hitter. Kershaw, 6-2 with a 2.40 ERA, and pitcher Tony Gonsolin were chosen from the host Dodgers, joining starting outfielder Mookie Betts and shortstop Trea Turner. Kershaw was picked by MLB and is a favorite to open on the mound for the NL, which has lost eight straight All-Star Games and 20 of the last 23 played to a decision. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662480974084/ji-man-choi-not-in-rays-lineup-sunday | 2022-07-13T15:24:52Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662480974084/ji-man-choi-not-in-rays-lineup-sunday | false | 42 |

Varane loving life under 'absolutely clear' Ten Hag as he targets Man Utd trophies
Raphael Varane is enjoying the early days of Erik ten Hag's management at Manchester United and hopes to win trophies with the club in the 2022-23 season. The Premier League side are looking to rebuild after a turbulent campaign last time out, that saw them finish sixth in the table and fail to qualify for the Champions League.
What has Varane said about Man Utd's hopes next season?
Varane is raring to go, with the centre-back - who started alongside Victor Lindelof in the 4-0 win over Liverpool - hoping for a big improvement in the new manager's debut campaign with the club.
"Personally, it's an opportunity for me to have a real pre-season, to get fit and to be ready because it'll be a very long season with a lot of games and high intensity," the France international told Sky Sports.
Editors' Picks
"I will try to be ready and to be fit, and obviously I'm very excited for this season coming and I'm very happy to be with Manchester and in this great club. We will try to win some trophies."
Varane discusses Man Utd's new playing style
Ten Hag is expected to implement his own playing style with his new side - with fans given a glimpse of how that could look in the 4-0 triumph over Liverpool - and Varane says the squad understand the manager's demands but still wants further improvement.
"We know exactly how we want to play. The manager explained very well what we have to do and it's absolutely clear," he said.
"So we know we have to be very fit because it's a very physical way to play.
"We are happy with the result obviously but we know we have to work very hard still to be ready for the start of the season.
"I think we know exactly what we have to do - we have to improve in everything."
He added: "We have ambition for this season but also, most important, we have to work with humility. I think it's the most important.
"As I said, it's just the beginning so we have to improve in everything." | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/varane-loving-life-ten-hag-targets-man-utd-trophies/blt1436f216c6394a8f | 2022-07-13T15:26:40Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/varane-loving-life-ten-hag-targets-man-utd-trophies/blt1436f216c6394a8f | false | 7 |
Having to work during a heatwave is not a vibe.
It’s much easier to work when it’s wet and grey outside, and when the sun is shining in the pristine blue sky, the FOMO really kicks in.
It truly feels like a waste of a beautiful day when we are stuck inside working for most of it.
So how can we actually make the most of these sunny days while we at work?
Take breaks outside
Fitness and wellness guru and nutrition expert Penny Weston, who runs the Made Wellness Centre in Staffordshire, says it can be demoralising to sit inside when the sun is shining and you have to work, so her main tip is to get outside for a walk during your break.
She says: ‘Sunshine naturally boosts your production of the feel-good hormones, and the fresh air will give you a real break.
‘Any exercise has a really positive impact on your mental health, but this is never more true than exercising in the great outdoors.
‘Sunshine naturally boosts your production of the feel-good hormones, and the fresh air will give you a real break.’
Eat lunch outside
‘If you’ve made your own lunch, sit on a park bench for a while outside,’ says Penny. ‘I would recommend not taking your phone with you so you can really enjoy the sunshine. If you’ve got time, why not pop a book in your bag and read for 10 minutes?’
Ruby Khan, a receptionist at the Quantus Gallery in East London, spends breaks in their outdoor gallery courtyard.
‘On a hot sunny day, I grab a salad before work and spend my lunchtime in our courtyard, which is a real suntrap,’ Ruby says. ‘In fact, most of us do that on our breaks as it’s nice to feel you’re not missing out on the good weather.
‘And as we’re based in Shoreditch, most of the pubs around here get so busy, so we’ll often have drinks on a Friday in the courtyard, which is far nicer than being out on the road of a packed pub.’
Work outside
Sadly this won’t be possible for everyone but if you have a desk job, see if it’s possible to work outside. This will be easier if you work from home or have a garden.
If you don’t have access to any outdoor space, try to work near a window so you can soak in as much daylight and vitamin d as possible.
Freelance SEO and UX consultant Arek Estal is able to work outside due to the nature of his work and has even set up his office on the beach.
‘It doesn’t matter where I work,’ Arek, who is based in Cardiff, tells Metro.co.uk.
‘So to make the most of the sun, I’ll walk with my laptop to a local beach when it’s a hot or sunny day.
‘I’ll work in one of the beachside cafes, then schedule in blocks of work, with breaks in between. In the breaks, I’ll go and sunbathe and eat lunch outside.
‘Unless you prioritise getting into the sun as part of your day, it isn’t going to happen. Nobody is productive 100% of the time, so it’s actually more efficient, and you create better output if you work in blocks with regular breaks.’
Caroline Marshall, the founder of VA agency Upsource, also recommends taking calls outside to maximise vitamin D intake.
‘I’ve even done video calls and recently onboarded a client outside,’ she says.
Change up your hours
If you want to enjoy the evening, have more time to see friends in a pub garden or watch the sunset, you could try starting work earlier so you can finish at a more reasonable hour – giving you more time to make dinner, do household chores and find time to relax.
For self-professed ‘sun-worshipper’, Laura Kirton, a Digital PR Executive at Flaunt Digital in Leeds, going into the office early on sunny days has become a go-to tactic to enjoy the sunshine.
‘It means I can finish work just as the sun is reaching its prime temperature at around 3pm,’ Laura explains.
‘I used to go for a walk before I started work. However, I soon realised that I could optimise my sun intake if I went into the office earlier, when the sun isn’t as strong, and then have a long walk once I’ve left the office at 3pm.’
Hybrid working
Laura’s workplace has a hybrid system that allows her to work from home two days a week. In order to maximise this flexibility, Laura will check the weather to see which days the ‘sun will be strongest’.
‘When I can, I like to sit outside to complete my work and sometimes use the shoebox trick (placing my laptop in an open shoe box) to see my screen,’ she adds.
‘Although this may seem extreme, the way the sun makes a difference to my mental health and overall wellbeing makes these strategic moves so very worth it.’
Tips for employers
While these solutions seek to maximise the most of the sunshine, Hannah Copeland, a HR Business Partner at employment law and HR support firm WorkNest, stresses the importance of working in a comfortable, cool environment and making sure employers keep workers safe if they are working outside in the heat.
‘The fact is, nobody likes to work in the sweltering heat, and many workplaces simply aren’t built for it,’ she explains.
‘It’s suggested that people typically work best at temperatures between 16°C and 24°C, depending on the type of work being done. Strenuous work is better performed at slightly lower temperatures than office work.
‘If the work environment exceeds these temperatures, the TUC say staff should be allowed to go home.
‘In the absence of legislation, employers still have a legal obligation under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 to provide a “reasonable” temperature in the workplace. However, again, the regulations don’t specify what qualifies as reasonable.
‘There are very real health and safety risks of working in a sweltering environment, including dizziness, fainting or even heat cramps.’
Hannah suggests that employers should implement controls to protect people who work outside.
These include:
- Rescheduling work to cooler times of the day;
- Providing more frequent rest breaks and introducing shading to rest areas;
- Introducing shading in areas where individuals are working;
- Providing free access to cool drinking water;
- Reiterating the importance of wearing sunblock and/or a hat;
- Making sure protective clothing is light and suitable;
- Encouraging the removal of PPE when resting to help facilitate heat loss; and
- Educating workers about recognising the early symptoms of heat stress.

Doctors transplant pig hearts into 2 brain-dead patients
NEW YORK (AP) - New York researchers transplanted pig hearts into two brain-dead people over the last month, the latest in a string of developments in the long quest to one day save human lives with animal organs.
The experiments announced Tuesday come after a historic but failed attempt earlier this year to use a pig’s heart to save a dying Maryland man — sort of a rehearsal before scientists try again in the living.
Among the lessons: Practice with the deceased is important.
“We learned so much from the first one that the second one is much better,” said Dr. Nader Moazami, who led the operations at NYU Langone Health. “You stand there in awe when the pig heart starts to beat in a human body.”
This time around, Moazami’s team mimicked how heart transplants routinely are done. Once last month and once last week, researchers traveled to a facility housing genetically modified pigs, removed the needed hearts, put them on ice and flew them hundreds of miles back to New York.
They used special new methods to check for any worrisome animal viruses before sewing the heart into the chest of each deceased recipient — a Vietnam veteran from Pennsylvania with a long history of heart disease and a New York woman who’d benefited from a transplant earlier in life.
Then came three days of more intense testing than living patients could tolerate — including frequent biopsies of the organ — before doctors disconnected life support.
Already the Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to allow a small number of Americans who need a new organ to volunteer for rigorous studies of either pig hearts or kidneys. NYU Langone is among three transplant centers planning trials — and has a meeting planned with the FDA in August to discuss requirements.
Testing in the deceased could help fine-tune how the first trials in the living are designed, said Dr. David Klassen of the United Network for Organ Sharing, which oversees the nation’s transplant system.
“They serve as an important sort of stepping stone,” said Klassen, who wonders if researchers next might consider tracking the organs for a week or so in a donated body rather than just three days.
One of the deceased recipients, Lawrence Kelly, had suffered heart disease for most of his life and “he would be so happy to know how much his contribution to this research will help people like him” in the future, his longtime partner Alice Michael told reporters Tuesday.
Animal-to-human transplants, what scientists call xenotransplantation, have been tried for decades without success, as people’s immune systems almost instantly attacked the foreign tissue. Now, pigs are being genetically modified so their organs are more human-like — increasing hope that they might one day help fill a shortage of donated organs. More than 100,000 people are on the national waiting list for a transplant, most of them kidney patients, and thousands die every year before their turn comes.
The most ambitious attempt so far came in January, when doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center transplanted a pig heart into a dying 57-year-old. David Bennett survived for two months, evidence that xenotransplantation was at least possible. But initial testing missed that the organ harbored an animal virus. What caused Bennett’s new heart to fail and whether that virus played any role still isn’t known, the Maryland researchers recently reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Months earlier, the NYU team and researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham separately were testing pig kidney transplants in the deceased, people who’d donated their bodies for science.
NYU’s recent heart experiments will add to the evidence as the FDA decides whether to allow formal studies in living patients.
But NYU Langone’s Dr. Robert Montgomery, a kidney transplant surgeon who received his own heart transplant, said continuing careful experiments in the deceased is critical to figuring out the best methods “in a setting where a person’s life isn’t at stake.”
“This is not a one-and-done situation. This is going to be years of learning what’s important and what’s not important for this to work,” said Montgomery, who has a list of almost 50 people who’ve called desperate to volunteer for a pig kidney transplant.
The FDA hasn’t signaled how soon it might decide whether to allow such studies. At a recent two-day public meeting, the agency’s scientific advisers said it was time to try despite a long list of questions. They include how best to modify the pigs, as several biotech companies — including Revivicor, which supplied the NYU organs — are pursuing different options.
It’s not even clear which organ to attempt first in a clinical trial. If a pig kidney fails, the patient can always survive on dialysis. Yet some of the FDA’s advisers said starting with the heart might be better. Experiments with pig kidneys in deceased humans showed the organs produced urine. But still unknown is whether pig kidneys do another important job — processing medications — the same way human kidneys do.

Former President Trump knew there was no evidence of widespread election fraud because people close to him told him so on multiple occasions. Many of those same close advisers repeatedly told Trump to concede after the Electoral College voted in mid-December to confirm President Biden's 2020 victory.
But Trump instead made a fateful choice in the early morning hours of Dec. 19, days after the electors voted, to choose a path that led to the insurrection on Jan. 6.
That's according to witness testimony and evidence presented at the seventh Jan. 6 committee hearing Tuesday.
"President Trump is a 76-year-old man; he is not an impressionable child," said committee Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., responding to those defending the former president and saying that Trump was simply influenced by the wrong people. "Just like everyone else in our country, he is responsible for his own actions and his own choices."
She added that perhaps more than anyone else in the country, Trump had access to "detailed and specific information" showing that claims of widespread fraud in the election were not true, but he chose not to believe it.
"No rational or sane man in his position could disregard that information and reach the opposite conclusion," Cheney said.
Cheney, who warned of potential witness tampering at the end of the last hearing, also dropped toward the end of this one that Trump had tried to call one of the witnesses who hasn't testified yet. She said it had been referred to the Justice Department.
There were lots of eye-openers like that, but here are four takeaways from the hearing:
1. An explosive meeting on Dec. 18 was the turning point that set the Jan. 6 insurrection in motion.
The committee spent much of the hearing detailing the "tense" late-night Oval Office meeting with Rudy Giuliani, conspiracy theorist lawyer Sidney Powell, ex-Gen. Michael Flynn, who has ties to the QAnon movement and extremist groups, as well as former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne on one side, and White House lawyers Pat Cipollone and Eric Herschmann and staff secretary Derek Lyons on the other.
It was essentially the White House professionals, or a version of "Team Normal," as former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien coined it in an earlier hearing, against, let's call them, Team Conspiracy.
Team Conspiracy was let into the White House complex by a junior staffer without the knowledge of the White House lawyers. The lawyers were determined to stop what the other team was proposing to the president, including the immediate mass seizure of voting machines by the U.S. military.
There was screaming, threats of violence and insults, including Herschmann telling Team Conspiracy that what it was proposing was "nuts." Giuliani testified that at one point he told Team Normal, "I'm going to categorize it as you guys are not tough enough. ... You're a bunch of p******."
The committee showed in multiple ways that this group didn't have the evidence — and knew it didn't. Cipollone said he repeatedly told them to present their evidence, and they wouldn't because they didn't have any.
The meeting went until after midnight with Trump at the center. At one point, Powell said Trump told her, "You see what I deal with? I deal with this all the time."
Trump then made the decision that changed the course of history. He sided with Team Conspiracy and tweeted, in part, at 1:42 a.m. ET:
"Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 election. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"
2. That tweet essentially inspired right-wing extremists to mobilize — and become Trump's insurrection army.
Trump's tweet that day had a clear impact on the coalescing around the importance of going to Washington on Jan. 6.
This was shown through testimony of the two in-person witnesses Tuesday — Jason Van Tatenhove, a former spokesman for the Oath Keepers, a violent militia group, and Stephen Ayres, a former Trump supporter from Ohio who pleaded guilty to illegally entering the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Both men testified that they, and people like them, were inspired to go to Washington on Jan. 6 because of that tweet.
A former Twitter employee, whose identity was obscured, testified that it was as if a mob was being gathered. Prior to Dec. 19, he said, it was vague and non-specific, but it was very clear that individuals were ready, willing and able to take up arms. After Dec. 19, the man said, not only were they willing and able, but the leader of their cause was asking them to join him in fighting for their cause on Jan 6.
Founders of dark websites, like Jim Watkins, founder of 8kun, said he bought a ticket to D.C. after Trump's tweet.
The founder of TheDonald.win said that after Trump's tweet, "anything else was shut out," and it was all about Jan. 6.
Trump knew the power of his tweets, and from past hearings, it was clear he knew his supporters could get violent on Jan. 6. Cassidy Hutchinson, the aide to former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, testified that Trump was warned by former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and others of that possibility.
3. Connections to Trump are growing closer, but direct evidence of Trump's coordination with extremists was harder to come by.
Given Trump knew the power of his tweets, that he was warned that his supporters could get violent and knew that they had weapons on Jan. 6 at his speech, and that his encouraging a march to the Capitol was preplanned and not spontaneous, it stands to reason that Trump certainly knew what could happen.
Given his lack of a desire to discourage the violence and how long it took him to finally tell people to leave the Capitol once the violence began, given he never called the military, his attorney general or the Department of Homeland Security to help quell it, and given even after it all happened, he has sympathized with the rioters, one could reasonably conclude that Trump wanted what happened Jan. 6 to happen.
But that's different from proving it with hard, prosecutable evidence.
Let's go through what the committee presented Tuesday that builds a trail of crumbs closer to Trump:
–The committee showed that extremists seemed to have some prior knowledge of what was going to happen on Jan. 6, notably that Trump was going to order people to march to the Capitol.
–There was a text exchange between Mike Lindell, the CEO of a company that makes pillows, and Kylie Kremer, one of the crowd organizers that day with the Stop the Steal movement. She's the daughter of Amy Kremer, the Tea Party Express founder who moved into pro-MAGA organizing. In one exchange Kylie Kremer tells Lindell of a potential march to the Capitol on Jan. 6 that "POTUS is going to just call for it unexpectedly."
–Ali Alexander, a far-right activist who was also involved with Stop the Steal, also seemed to know this information ahead of time. In one text message shown by the committee, Alexander writes, "Ellipse then US capitol. Trump is supposed to order us to capitol [sic] at the end of his speech but we will see."
What we didn't get, however, is how they knew that. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, a member of the committee who helped lead Tuesday's hearing, said on MSNBC after the hearing that former Trump aide Katrina Pierson told Kremer, but she doesn't know how Alexander knew.
Did Alexander get it from Kremer? Did he get it from former Trump adviser Roger Stone, who was also involved with Stop the Steal and who also spoke with Trump before Jan. 6? From Trump himself? Those dots weren't connected.
The committee also revealed:
–Steve Bannon, the CEO of Trump's 2016 campaign, spoke with Trump twice on Jan. 5 and then went on his podcast seemingly with inside knowledge of what would happen the next day.
Did the president tell him something? Or was a provocateur being provocative? We don't know.
–White House aide Sarah Matthews said in a Jan. 5 meeting Trump said to staff: "How can we make the RINOs do the right thing tomorrow?" A witness also testified that Trump's mood was seemingly uplifted and that he got practically giddy when he saw and heard the crowd gathering in D.C. ahead of his Jan. 6 speech. Was that because he knew what was going to happen or because he loves crowds of supporters?
This was the first hearing that didn't quite live up to its own lofty expectations. The committee said it would draw the connection between Trump, his allies and the right-wing extremist groups. The dots may have been put on the table, but they weren't boldly connected.
After the hearing, Raskin acknowledged on CNN there's a difference between "causation" in a legal context and what the committee is doing.
"We're not prosecutors," he said. But, he added, "In the moral and political context, the language that a leader uses is important in a democracy."
The Justice Department has an active investigation into Jan. 6 and has been following the committee hearings' revelations closely. But regardless of whether Trump is convicted of a crime, Van Tatenhove sees an arguably bigger threat.
"I do fear for this next election cycle," he said, "because who knows what that might bring — if a president that's willing to try to instill and encourage to whip up a civil war among his followers, using lies and deceit and snake oil and regardless of the human impact, what else is he going to do if he gets elected again?"
The committee has one more hearing planned, next week, July 21, in prime time. It says it will focus on Trump's inaction to stop the attack on the Capitol and will detail a 187-minute timeline when Trump was silent inside the White House as the riot unfolded.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Military delegations from Russia and Ukraine held their governments’ first face-to-face talks in months Wednesday as they tried to reach an agreement on a United Nations plan to export blocked Ukrainian grain to world markets through the Black Sea.
Turkish military officials and U.N. envoys also took part in the meeting in Istanbul 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.
The Russian and Ukrainian officials, dressed in civilian clothes, faced each other as the delegations were seated around a large square table. Turkey’s Defense Ministry announced later the talks had ended about an hour and a half after it confirmed that they had begun, but did not provide details.
Ukraine is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but Russia’s invasion and war has disrupted production and halted shipments, endangering food supplies in many developing countries, especially in Africa, and contributing to higher global food 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.
Speaking before the talks, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told The Associated Press that grain exports from his country’s ports won’t resume without security guarantees to ship owners, cargo owners and Ukraine as an independent nation.
Any agreement needs to ensure that Russia “will respect these corridors, they will not sneak into the harbor and attack ports or that they will not attack ports from the air with their missiles,” he said.
Russian and Ukrainian officials have traded accusations over the stuck grain shipments. Moscow claims 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 the 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 earlier this year he had no plans to invade Ukraine.
Ahead of the talks, 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, head of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s department for ties with international organizations, said Russia’s military had repeatedly declared its willingness to allow 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. Some grain is being transported through Europe by rail, road and river, but the amount is small compared with sea routes.
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.
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.
Complicating the negotiations are accusations that Russia is shipping grain that was stolen from lands in 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 that 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’ negotiators.

Red or white: Which version of onions is healthiest and why?
Nutritionists say that white onions are rich in antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties and hold a lot of significance in Ayurvedic medicine.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Additionally, white onions are credited with healing properties that can help with nose, eyes, and ear infections.
- And for those who struggle with acidity issues too often, this vegetable can be of help due to its alkaline nature which helps it balance out the acidic properties of refined carbohydrates.
- And for those struggling with hair fall or hair thinning, applying its juice to the scalp can help reverse the negative effects.
New Delhi: Despite being available in several colours, there is something about onions that helps them enhance the flavour of every dish. From pastas to sandwiches to burgers to even curries – acidic food is the key ingredient of all. While the red and white varieties are often used in the curry, the green one is a popular garnish choice. Cooked or raw, onions are everything healthy but which variety is healthier – red or white?
Read on to know which one is better and for what reasons.
Nutritionists say that white onions are rich in antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties and hold a lot of significance in Ayurvedic medicine.
Celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor, too, recently took to Instagram to talk about the benefits of eating pyaaz.
“Kya aap jaante the, pyaaz, our everyday kitchen essential can also help against sunstroke and sunburn?” he captioned the post, while further listing health benefits like:
- Rich in fibre
- Immunity booster
- Heart health friendly
- Cools the body
- Cures respiratory disorders
Additionally, white onions are credited with healing properties which can help with nose, eyes and ear infections. And for those who struggle with acidity issues too often, this vegetable can be of help due to its alkaline nature which helps it balance out the acidic properties of refined carbohydrates. And for those struggling with hair fall or hair thinning, applying its juice to the scalp can help reverse the negative effects.
Red onions, on the other hand, have large quantities of manganese, vitamin C and vitamin B6. It also contains traces of carbs, proteins, sugar and fibre. However, on the nutrition front, white onions win for being less pungent and rich in anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Woodcarving: Finding flow, community in the curve of a spoon
Many people discovered their inner cook during the pandemic. I unexpectedly discovered my inner woodcarver, making a butter knife.
It wasn´t a sharp object, rather something to smooth a dollop of butter across an entire piece of toast in one swoop.
I´m likely not the first person you´d expect to find at a Sunday afternoon woodcarving lesson. As a working mom of two young kids, I have all the trappings of middle-age life, and what little free time I´ve had of late was devoted to wine and mindless TV.
But I signed up with another mom for the green woodcarving class at a fundraiser for my children's elementary school, and learned about a whole new way to relieve stress. It is a hobby I would love to take up regularly, though I´m not sure I actually will.
"You get to tap into creativity and tap into working with your hands and tap into that meditative aspect," as one carver, Kaylyn Messer, put it. "Also, the community is a neat connection with people, where you have a common topic to talk about with lots of people."
One hot afternoon, I arrived at the Newton, Massachusetts, home of our instructor, Matt Day, a 43-year-old insurance actuary. Day has been woodworking since boyhood, helping with his father´s projects. He´s been green woodcarving for about seven years and sells his wares - spoons, bowls, and more - online.
This undated photo provided by Kaylyn Messer shows a variety of wood utensils hand carved by Messer. She started carving before the COVID-19 pandemic, but didn't partake in the hobby regularly until lockdown. She found it was a good way to connect with people who have a shared interest. (Kaylyn Messer via AP)
"You can´t take power tools on vacation," Day said, explaining one of the attractions of green woodcarving, which uses just a simple knife called a sloyd (after the Swedish slojd, which means handicraft).
"It´s sharper than anything you have in your kitchen," Day said.
In class, Day required us to sheath the knife any time we weren´t using it. There was no placing it down for a quick second. And, indeed, this knife was sharp. Whittling away, I ended up barely touching the tip to my thumb. The prick felt so intense I thought blood might rush. It didn´t.
Green woodcarving, also known as spoon carving, uses fresh timber. The wood is still moist from when the tree was alive. It will dry out in a matter of days or, if preserved correctly, a couple months. Working with dry or fresh wood is a personal preference, and each requires a different set of skills.
Where do you find this fresh wood without killing a tree? Day said woodcarvers will often trade. Perhaps a neighbor cut down a large tree or knows someone who did. But you can also order it online.
He used a power saw to cut rough outlines of the spreading knives that were our starter project. Cut with the grain, he said. And when we didn´t, it was obvious immediately: The bark would curl up roughly instead of falling to the ground.
Carving, I discovered, was therapeutic, and time elapsed without us thinking much about it. The knife glossed over the fresh wood, peeling it off.
Since this class, I´ve learned about the community of woodcarvers - people eager to talk shop and enjoy company, or make artisanal tools and sell them.
One is Chuck Trella, 60, of Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York. He started by carving hiking sticks and small figurines. Creating with his hands was a nice complement to his professional job in IT, he found.
Pre-pandemic, Trella and a few carving buddies started Rise Up & Carve, a group that meets on Zoom and carves for an hour or so.
"I started it because I wanted to develop a daily carving habit," Trella said.
On Rise Up, people chat and carve, or they simply carve alongside others. After COVID-19, this woodcarving Zoom group started attracting people from all over the world.
"It´s basically a 24-7 operation now," he said.
Many carvers will say woodworking leads to a state of flow. You can carve for hours and not think about too much else, Trella said.
There is also something special about making a physical object with your hands, especially if the artistic medium comes from nature.
"I was attracted to doing spoons because it is something you can crank out pretty fast," Trella said. "Spoons are a simple geometric form, and they aren´t a huge time commitment."
Still, don´t underestimate the skill required in spoon carving. It involves a hatchet and a few different knives.
"Making a really good spoon is very challenging," said Peter Follansbee, a professional woodworker, furniture maker, teacher and author.
Follansbee, who made his first spoon in the 1980s, has taught old-timey woodworking at the Plimoth Patuxet Museums, a living museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, honoring the indigenous people and early American colony there.
The craft goes back millennia.
Follansbee also helped start the nonprofit Plymouth CRAFT, which hosts classes in handicraft, including the Greenwood Fest that draws hundreds of woodcarvers from all over the world.
"We frequently get people with no experience and two days later will have their first spoon," Follansbee said. "I always tell them to burn the first two they make and then go make 10 to 15 more."
A growing number of women have taken up woodcarving.
"It´s an approachable hobby," said Messer, 37, who lives outside Seattle. "The expectation of perfection isn´t there, and everything is useful."
When Messer´s job in IT went remote because of the pandemic, she found woodcarving online was a way to connect with other people.
"Now that I´m working at home, it has been good because I don´t see people as much," she said. "It has been good for my mental health and creative expression over the last couple years."
Messer is also a passionate cook, and wooden spoons come in handy. She has gifted her spoons to friends who enjoy cooking.

Woodcarvers are among those who say they find a meditative quality in their work. They find satisfaction in doing something creative and using a medium that comes from nature. (Tracee M.

About ContraFect Corp
ContraFect is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of direct lytic agents (DLAs), including lysins and amurin peptides, as new medical modalities for the treatment of life-threatening, antibiotic-resistant infections. An estimated 700,000 deaths worldwide each year are attributed to antimicrobial-resistant infections. The Company intends to address life threatening infections using its therapeutic product candidates from its platform of DLAs, which include lysins and amurin peptides. Lysins are a new class of DLAs which are recombinantly produced antimicrobial proteins with a novel mechanism of action associated with the rapid killing of target bacteria, eradication of biofilms and synergy with conventional antibiotics. Amurin peptides are a novel class of DLAs which exhibit broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, including P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Enterobacter species. The Comapny believes that the properties of its lysins and amurin peptides will make them suitable for targeting antibiotic-resistant organisms, such as MRSA and P. aeruginosa, which can cause serious infections such as bacteremia, pneumonia and osteomyelitis. It has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of Staph aureus bacteremia, including endocarditis, with its lead lysin candidate, exebacase, which is the first lysin to enter clinical studies in the U.S. Exebacase, currently being studied in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study, was granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for the treatment of MRSA bloodstream infections, including right-sided endocarditis, when used in addition to SOC anti-staphylococcal antibiotics in adult patients.

PITTSBURGH, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "I witnessed someone one a bike get hit by a car one day," said the one inventor from Glendale, Ariz. "I thought of this idea to help prevent accidents like this occurring and providing enhanced safety to bicyclists."
They invented NIGHT HAWK that provides a means of protecting a rider's skull from injury in the event of a spill, fall, or collision. This helmet would enhance the riders safety by illuminating light to the area in front of the bike. This would make the bicyclist more visible, particularly during the morning dawn and late dusk hours. Additionally, this could be used by individuals of all ages and would help provide peace of mind to parents with children making it easier for them to see.
The original design was submitted to the Phoenix sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

US Coast Guard family’s U-Haul, minivan stolen during move to new assignment
NORFOLK, Va. (WTKR) – A U.S. Coast Guard family had their minivan and a U-Haul full of their belongings stolen on the way to their new assignment.
Matthew Crandall is in the Coast Guard and lives in Tampa, Florida. He and his family were heading to their next duty station in Massachusetts but stopped to get some rest at Norfolk Navy Lodge in Virginia on the way.
That’s when thieves broke into the vehicles and made off with nearly all their cherished possessions.
“We have two daughters that we’re never going to get back the baby books, the footprints, all the stuff that we kept throughout the years of them,” Crandall said.
They took his laptop, passports, his wife’s wedding ring and jewelry – averaging around $30,000.
Crandall and his wife said they are hopeful they will get their things back but have not yet received any updates on the vehicles or their stolen property.
“I’m hoping with Texas plates on the minivan and Washington plates on the U-Haul that a big orange U-Haul box might get noticed by someone on the side of the road. I just want to get the stuff that’s within the car,” Crandall said.
Police and Coast Guard investigators are searching for answers for the Crandalls.

Shock twist after disappearance of little Cleo Smith, 4, as kidnapper’s brother is charged with snatching another girl
A SHOCKING new twist has emerged in the case of little Cleo Smith after her kidnapper's brother was charged with abducting another girl.
Cleo's disappearance made headlines across the world after the four-year-old vanished from the Blowholes Campsite where she was staying with her parents in Western Australia.
The young girl was found on November 2, in a room inside of a locked house in Carnavorin, 18 days after she went missing.
Her abductor Terry Kelly, 36, was arrested and later pled guilty to kidnapping Cleo.
And now, months after his arrest, it has emerged that his stepbrother Ashley Bropho, 39, has been accused of snatching a nine-year-old girl from a park before taking her back to his home.
According to the 9 News Perth, Bropho approached the girl at the Jackson Wilding Reserve park at 10.30 am on Tuesday, before taking her to his home on Sackville Terrace in Doubleview.

Western Australian police said he encouraged the girl to engage in sexual behaviour before he was interrupted by a visitor.
The nine-year-old was then able to flee the scene and alert her family.
Bropho was arrested shortly afterwards.
The link between Kelly and Bropho was brought up during his first appearance at Perth Magistrate's Court today.

The magistrate refused his lawyer's plea to conceal his identity after he suggested there was a similar case involving a family relative.
The court also heard that Bropho is part of a community inclusion program and his carer was in the area at the time.
Police officers from the Child Abuse Squad charged him with procuring or encouraging the girl into engaging in sexual behaviour, as well as two counts of indecent dealings with a child under the age of 13.
He was remanded in custody and is set to reappear again on July 27.
The disappearance of young Cleo in October sparked a huge search with the little last being seen by her parents at the Blowholes campsite they were staying at.
The little girl was found 18 days later in a room inside of a locked house in Carnavorin, West Australia around the same place she went missing.
According to Western Australian Police, she told the officers who found her "My name is Cleo."
36-year-old Terry Kelly was arrested and later charged with her abduction.
It was previously revealed that Kelly was obsessed with Bratz dolls with pictures showing dozens of them in the house where she was found.
It also emerged at the time that he watched Cleo's parents’ pleas for help by following her mum on Facebook.

The Open Championship doesn't usually go this long between trips to St. Andrews. It has been seven years since the best golfers in the world stepped on the sport's oldest course to battle for the Claret Jug.
Now, they are back on the hallowed grounds in Scotland, and fans will be treated to a field that consists of 49 of the world's top 50 golfers as well as legends like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.
After 2022, St. Andrews probably won't host another iteration of The Open until at least 2027. The honor will fall to other courses across the United Kingdom over the next handful of years instead, as the tournament has 10 courses currently in its hosting rotation.
So, where is The Open going in 2023? Here's a run down of the location of the major golf tournament over the next handful of years.
MORE: Where Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods rank among top golfers in The Open field
Where is the Open Championship in 2022?
The Open will be played at St. Andrews' Old Course in 2022. The course, which is located in St. Andrews, Scotland, is one of the oldest golf venues in the world, as games played upon the course date back to the early 15th century.
To give you some context about just how old the Old Course is, it didn't get its name until St. Andrews' New Course was built. That was in 1896.
The Open is being held at St. Andrews for the 30th time in tournament history in 2022. Historically, the event has been played there every five years, but the event was last played there in 2015. The Open in 2020 was originally set to be played at St. Andrews before the COVID-19 pandemic caused the R&A to cancel the event.
The Old Course is 7,305 yards long and is a Par-72 course. Ross Fisher set a course record there with a 61 during a round in 2017.
Zach Johnson won the most recent Open Championship at St. Andrews in 2015, when he beat Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman in a three-man playoff after shooting 15-under during the tournament. Oosthuizen won the event in 2010, recording a 16-under and winning by seven strokes, the second-largest victory at The Open ever.

Future Open Championship locations
The COVID-19-related postponement of The Open in 2020 threw off the hosting cycle a little bit. St. Andrews had been scheduled to host the event that year — as it had every five years since 1995 — but the event was canceled.
As a result, the R&A opted to move The 150th Open Championship to St. Andrews in 2022. That meant bumping a few other locations a bit further down the line, but The Open now has its schedule for the next three years figured out.
Here's a look at where the golf major will be staged in each of the next three years:
2023: Royal Liverpool
The Open will head to Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England in 2023. It will mark the golf club's third time hosting the event since 2006. Before that, it went 39 years — from 1967 to 2006 — without hosting the event.
The major was most recently played at Royal Liverpool in 2014 when Rory McIlroy won his lone Open Championship and second major of the '14 season. He shot 17 under par during The Open in 2014. That was the second-best score recorded at the course during a major to only Tiger Woods' 18 under in 2006.
Royal Liverpool is a Par-72 links course that was established in 1869. The course was designed by Robert Chambers, George Morris and Harry Colt and plays to a length of 7,218 yards.
Like most links courses, Royal Liverpool dries out in the summer and is often affected by strong winds off the coast.
2024: Royal Troon
Royal Troon is another Scotland course that has hosted The Open over the years. The 2024 edition of the event will be the 10th Open held at Royal Troon and the first since Henrik Stenson earned a victory there in 2016 by notching a 20 under to take home the title.
Royal Troon's championship course is known as The Old Course, much like the one at St. Andrews. The course was first designed and built by George Strath and Willie Fernie in 1888 but Open champion James Braid helped to redesign it in 1923. Currently, the course is a Par 71 alignment that is 7,175 yards in length.
The Old Course contains within it both the shortest and longest holes in The Open history. The shortest — known as "Postage Stamp" — is just 123 yards but has a tiny green with which to work. Meanwhile, the longest is a Par 5 that can play up to a length of 601 yards.
The first six holes at Royal Troon run along the sea, making for a spectacular view on the broadcast of the event. However, it also means that wind can quickly become an issue for golfers.
2025: Royal Portrush
Royal Portrush — a golf club based in Northern Ireland — has only hosted The Open on two occasions. The first was in 1951 when Max Faulkner won his lone Open Championship. The second didn't come until 2019 when Shane Lowry emerged as just the second Irishman to win The Open.
There are two courses at Royal Portrush but Dunluce Links is the one used for The Open. Changes were made to the course ahead of the 2019 staging of the event that made it a 7,337-yard, Par-71 course.
Royal Portrush is known for its 16th hole, which is nicknamed "Calamity Corner" (or just "Calamity"). It's a long, 236-yard Par 3 that plays uphill and is protected on the right by a ravine and on the left by several valleys, hills and hollows. It is considered one of the best and toughest Par 3 holes in golf.

Full list of venues that host Open Championship
The Open has been hosted at a total of 14 different courses throughout the tournament's history. Currently, it is held at 10 locations on a rotating basis, with St. Andrews hosting it roughly every five years and the other nine locations taking turns hosting the big event.
Below is a look at the 10 modern courses that stage The Open and when each last played host to the event.
And below are the four sites that have hosted The Open previously but no longer do. | https://www.sportingnews.com/us/golf/news/future-open-championship-locations-list-courses-st-andrews/kqq76bv6gfxgkzem84fxxkhd | 2022-07-13T16:03:23Z | https://www.sportingnews.com/us/golf/news/future-open-championship-locations-list-courses-st-andrews/kqq76bv6gfxgkzem84fxxkhd | true | 1 |
Arsenal’s forgotten man Lucas Torreira agrees personal terms with Valencia and will beg Mikel Arteta to sell him
LUCAS TORREIRA has agreed personal terms with Valencia his agent has revealed as he looks to force a move away from Arsenal.
The out-of-favour midfielder, 26, has not put on an Arsenal shirt since 2020, having spent the last two seasons on loan.
He enjoyed a successful spell with Atletico Madrid during the 2020-21 season, winning the La Liga title.
Following his stint in Spain, Torreira spent 12 months with Fiorentina, helping the club to finish seventh in Serie A and qualify for the Europa Conference League.
But, while the Uruguay international was keen to stay at the Artemio Franchi stadium, Fiorentina could not match his £12.5million release clause.
As a result, he recently returned to North London for pre-season.
However, he has no intention of staying.
And he could edge closer to an exit sooner rather than later as his agent Pablo Bentancur revealed that he has an agreement in place with Valencia.
He told 100% Deporte as per Fabrizio Romano: "We have reached an agreement with Valencia, Gattuso wants him.
"We are gonna discuss with Arsenal - Arteta wants to see him in the pre-season.

Now Boris calls a confidence vote in his OWN government for Monday after dismissing Labour bid to force a showdown because Keir Starmer bungled the wording
- Boris Johnson to table a confidence motion in caretaker Government on Monday
- PM planning to ask the Commons if it still has confidence in his administration
- It follows row between No10 and Labour about Keir Starmer's own bungled bid
Boris Johnson has tabled a motion of confidence in his outgoing Government following a row over Labour's plans for a 'stunt' vote.
The Prime Minister, who is set to leave office on 6th September, is planning to ask the House of Commons on Monday if it still has confidence in his caretaker administration.
It comes after Labour bungled an attempt to force a Commons showdown on whether Mr Johnson still commands a majority.
Sir Keir Starmer had wanted to hold a vote on whether MPs still had faith in the Government under Mr Johnson.
But Downing Street refused to allow such a vote - despite convention being that the Government always grants parliamentary time for a confidence motion from the official opposition party - as they claimed it did not follow the standard format.
They accused Labour of 'playing politics' and wasting parliamentary time by specifically targeting Mr Johnson with their proposed vote - when he has already announced his resignation.
Labour hit back and claimed No10 was dodging their version of a confidence vote because they feared losing it.
The Government is now planning to table their own motion to ask the Commons whether 'this House has confidence in Her Majesty's Government'.
If the Tories fail to win a vote on the confidence motion, which is due to be debated on Monday, it could trigger a general election.
But it is unlikely that Conservative MPs would choose to bring down their own Government while the contest to replace Mr Johnson in No10 is already underway.

If the Tories fail to win a vote on the confidence motion it could trigger a general election. But it is unlikely that Conservative MPs would choose to bring down their own Government while the contest to replace Mr Johnson in No10 is already underway
A Government spokeswoman said: 'Labour were given the option to table a straightforward vote of no confidence in the Government in keeping with convention, however they chose not to.
'To remedy this we are tabling a motion which gives the House the opportunity to decide if it has confidence in the Government.
'The Government will always allow time for appropriate House matters whilst ensuring that it delivers parliamentary business to help improve people's everyday lives.'
Labour have pressed for a confidence vote as a means of daring Tory MPs to put on record their support for Mr Johnson continuing as PM until his successor is elected.
Many Conservatives had initially been angered by Mr Johnson's intention to remain in No10 in a caretaker role for a number of weeks yet.
The PM's downfall came after vast swathes of Tory MPs turned against him, which also saw a torrent of resignations from Mr Johnson's Government.
Labour today insisted their original motion should have been accepted by Downing Street.
A Labour spokesman said: 'The motion that we tabled was in order, the clerks ruled it in order, we had precedent based on the 1965 vote of no confidence there was with Ted Heath and Harold Wilson.
'If the Government wants to table a different motion, that's obviously up to them.
'But what's clear is that the Government was concerned it would lose the vote on the motion that we had put forward, otherwise why are they putting forward this alternative motion on Monday?
'We look forward to the dozens of Conservative MPs who have already expressed no confidence in Boris Johnson in writing to vote accordingly next week because to do anything else would be brazen hypocrisy.'
Labour could still try to amend the new motion to reflect their original wording, a move the Liberal Democrats said they would make.
Lib Dem chief whip Wendy Chamberlain said: 'These are desperate tactics from the Conservatives, who are looking to duck scrutiny for propping up Boris Johnson.
'Conservative MPs risk a major public backlash if they refuse to back this motion.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11010219/Now-Boris-calls-confidence-vote-government-Monday-dismissing-Labour-bid.html | 2022-07-13T16:09:46Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11010219/Now-Boris-calls-confidence-vote-government-Monday-dismissing-Labour-bid.html | false | 3 |

Record changes in income and more people living alone or with roommates are among some of the key findings in new census data from Statistics Canada.
On Wednesday, the agency released new figures on income, household dynamics, and the military.
Here are five take-aways:
Roomies are the fastest growing household type — but more people are living alone than ever before
More people are living alone than ever before, but the number of households where roommates live together or multiple generations of a family share a home is quickly on the rise.
Statistics Canada says 4.4 million people lived alone in 2021, up from 1.7 million in 1981. Roughly 15 per cent of all adults aged 15 and older lived alone in 2021, the highest share on record. One-person households continued to hold the top spot among households in 2021, representing just under three in 10 households, or 29 per cent. This phenomenon is almost entirely explained by the aging of the population, StatsCan says.
While more people are living alone, the number of homes shared by roommates increased by 54 per cent between 2001 and 2021, the fastest growth of any household type. Sharing homes with roommates was more common in urban centres, particularly where large post-secondary institutions are located.
The census also found that fewer young adults aged 20 to 34 are living with a spouse, partner, or child. Young adults sharing a home with at least one parent, living with roommates, or alone has grown by 10 per cent since 2001. While those living with at least one parent has remained the same since 2016’s census, there’s been a growing trend of more older adults living with parents.
The census also found the number of homes being shared by multiple generations of a family — two or more families living together or one family living with people they may or may not be related to — grew by 45 per cent over the last 20 years.
Solo living declines among older women
As more younger adults live alone, the opposite is happening for older women. In 2001, 60 per cent of women aged 85 and older lived in private households. Now, it’s 53 per cent.
According to StatsCan, the reason for the change is the gap in life expectancy for men and women is gradually closing — with men living longer. From 1980 to 2020, men’s life expectancy at birth increased faster (from 71.6 years to 79.5 years) than it did for women (from 78.8 years to 84.0 years) over the same period.
This has led to more women living with their spouse into old age. Over half of women aged 65 and older were in a couple in 2021, up from 41 per cent in 1981. This development allows older adults to “age in place” as they can receive care and support from a partner at home for longer.
Canada leads G7 with percentage of common-law couples
Canada leads G7 countries with couples who live together but haven’t tied the knot.
From 1981 to 2021, the number of common-law couples increased by 447 per cent, much faster than that of married couples over the same period (just 26 per cent). Marriage actually declined in Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and New Brunswick, over this 40-year period.
However, marriage remains the predominant type of union. In 2021, more than three-quarters of couples were married, with the remaining 23 per cent living common law.
Quebec is the main reason Canada leads the way with common-law unions — home to 43 per cent of the country’s common law couples. Also, since 2011, common-law couples in Quebec were more likely to have children living at home than their married counterparts.
While common-law is more prevalent in young adulthood and drops off quickly among older couples, common-law arrangements has grown in prevalence at all ages. However, it’s increased most rapidly during young adulthood, as, in 1981, 23 per cent of young couples aged 20 to 24 were common law, drastically rising to 79 per cent in 2021.
Canadian income sees boost as share of low-income earners decreases
The pandemic benefits cushioned losses for low-income earners and helped to narrow income inequality in Canada. And across the country after-tax income grew, except in Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The agency reported that the median household after-tax income grew 9.8 per cent to $73,000 from 2015 to 2020. Even though fewer Canadians received employment income during the pandemic, COVID-19 benefits partially offset job losses as roughly two-thirds of Canadians received relief program aid.
The number of Canadians earning less than $20,000 grew by more than 415,000 as many lower-paid jobs disappeared. But overall, the low-income rate fell and the number of Canadians who reported no income drastically declined by nearly one million compared to 2019.
Women make up almost one-fifth of currently serving Canadian military
In the first census profile of Canada’s military in half a century a snapshot of women in the military indicates that one in five people, or 19.3 per cent, serving are women — a number that’s low compared to other industries, says StatsCan.
In 2021, the Labour Force Survey said women accounted for almost half of the employed labour force. The two sectors with fewer than one in five women employed were construction and forestry, fishing, and mining.
However, compared to other countries the share of women in the military is relatively high. Canada ranks among the top five countries with the highest percentage of full-time military women in 2019, along with Hungry, Greece, the U.S. and Bulgaria. | https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2022/07/13/more-solo-living-except-for-senior-women-heres-five-key-take-aways-from-the-new-census-data-release.html | 2022-07-13T16:14:39Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2022/07/13/more-solo-living-except-for-senior-women-heres-five-key-take-aways-from-the-new-census-data-release.html | false | 1 |
Spirit plane towed after brakes overheat, ignite
Passengers aboard a Spirit Airlines flight from Tampa are safe after one of the plane’s brakes overheated and briefly caught fire upon landing in Atlanta
ATLANTA -- Passengers aboard a Spirit Airlines flight from Tampa are safe after one of the plane’s brakes overheated and briefly caught fire upon landing in Atlanta on Sunday, airport officials said.
The brakes in the landing gear of Spirit Airlines flight 383 from Tampa ignited upon landing, officials at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport wrote in a tweet about the incident. Atlanta firefighters put out the fire and the plane was towed to the gate for passengers to disembark, airport officials said.

Video posted on social media showed smoke coming from under the plane at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
“The aircraft was towed to the gate where guests safely deplaned without any injuries. Thank you to the Atlanta first responders for immediately meeting the aircraft. The plane will be temporarily removed from service for maintenance,” a statement from the airline read.
Scottie Nelms, a passenger on the plane and told FOX 5 that the flight was uneventful until after landing and passengers heard a weird noise from the left side of the plane."
Nobody knew what it was until we stopped completely in the middle of the landing strip,” Nelms told FOX 5. “We saw a flame coming from the engine and people and myself started freaking out.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662603676875/spirit-plane-towed-after-brakes-overheat-ignite | 2022-07-13T16:15:55Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662603676875/spirit-plane-towed-after-brakes-overheat-ignite | false | 14 |
