DA: Mother, boyfriend could face death penalty for killing 2-year-old boy
HOUMA, La. (WVUE/Gray News) - Authorities in Louisiana say they might seek the death penalty in a case involving a boy’s mother and her boyfriend after police found the 2-year-old’s body in a trash can.
Police identified the 2-year-old as Ezekiel Harry. His mother, Maya Jones, 28, and her boyfriend, 37-year-old Jermaine Robinson, were arrested by the Houma Police Department. They are facing first-degree murder charges, as reported by WVUE.
On Tuesday, Louisiana State Police initially issued an endangered and missing child alert for Harry. Authorities said Jones told them that he was abducted while walking with his siblings.
About six hours after that initial alert, Houma police reported they found Ezekiel’s body stuffed in a trash can.
Detectives said they also found information that led them to suspect foul play in the incident before arresting Jones and Robinson.
On Wednesday, Houma Police Chief Dana Coleman showed images from surveillance video that authorities said showed Jones walking and driving around with a black duffel bag that contained the boy’s body before dumping it in a trash can.
“This is absolutely a death penalty case,” Terrebonne Parish District Attorney Joe Waitz said. “What happened to this little 2-year-old shocks the conscience.”
Investigators said they are looking into whether there was a documented history of abuse at the boy’s home as past physical abuse has been suspected.
Louisiana has carried out one execution in the past 20 years.

ELMHUST, Ill. (AP) — A suburban Chicago man has been charged with spray-painting swastikas on several homes and motor vehicles, authorities said Wednesday.
Joel Jexie, 25, of Elmhurst has been charged with three counts of hate crime and one count of criminal damage to property, DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Elmhurst Interim Police Chief Michael McLean said.
A judge set his bond Wednesday at $100,000 with 10% to apply.
Elmhurst police received a call Saturday regarding vandalism and officers observed swastikas painted on two garage doors of a home and on a car., Berlin and McLean said. Elmhurst police officers received another call Tuesday regarding a swastika that was spray-painted on an SUV.
Investigators identified Jexie as a suspect in both cases as well as an April incident in which a swastika was spray-painted on a home, Berlin and McLean said. Jexie was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon without incident, they said.
“The allegations against Mr. Jexie are very disturbing and have been charged accordingly,” Berlin said. “Hate crimes have no place in a civilized society."
"Residents that provided home security video and promptly called 911 when they observed suspicious activity were crucial to solving these offensive crimes,” McLean said.

In a viral TikTok posted this week, customers claim Chick-fil-A workers wouldn’t let them in store to pick up their food when they arrived at closing time. In a video, they show the workers throw away their alleged food right in front of their faces through the window.
The viral video, which has over 435,800 views and was posted by TikToker Tristan (@trizzyxdz), shows the TikToker in his car at night with friends outside a Chick-fil-A which appears to be shut down for the day. He shows an order of food sitting on a table right through the window, and says it was his online order, all ready to go. However, he says that because he arrived just as the store was closing, the employees refused to hand it out to him.
“We race here…got here on time and our food is sitting right there on the counter. They closed the door on us. They saw us walking up,” the TikToker says in the video.
“They closed the door on our faces. They were three minutes late of closing either way,” one of the TikToker’s friends says as an employee starts to throw out their alleged order. “He’s picking up our food!”
“Look at him. He’s gonna take it home. Look at that. All he had to do was hand us our food,” the TikToker says in the video. “He just looked at us as he took the food! He’s throwing it in the garbage. Would Jesus do that?”

Chick-fil-A, a fast-food restaurant chain, is known for their founder’s staunch religious beliefs and donations to certain Christian causes, including infamous past donations to anti-LGBTQ Christian organizations.
“Jesus would NEVER!!!!!” the TikToker captioned the video.
Chick-fil-A also holds a reputation for its polite customer service due to investing more in employee training than other fast-food companies and encouraging workers to use pleasant phrasings—like saying “my pleasure” rather than “you’re welcome.” It is also known for a unique rule that franchisees can only own and operate one Chick-fil-A location, in order to offer a higher quality experience for customers.
The viral TikTok sparked controversy in its comments section, with users debating who is at fault for the TikToker’s order being thrown out. Many users criticized the workers in the video for not being “nice.”
“I thought they only hired nice people,” one user commented.
“Someone is getting fired,” another user argued.
“The good lord would never. Definitely hope you called corporate,” a third urged.
On the other hand, many users blamed the customers for arriving at closing time to pick up their order, saying the workers were just doing their jobs.
“Everybody mad at CFA but they came late. 10pm, doors locked. YOU DO BETTER,” one user criticized.
“On time? As in at the exact time they’re officially closed? Idk why people are so entitled,” another insulted.
Users argued back, saying it looked like the employees were looking at the TikToker and throwing away his food out of spite.
“No cause that seemed personal,” one user commented.
“Did you get your money back…[because] he was dead looking at you guys and throwing away the food,” another replied.
In a follow-up video that has over 128,500 views, the TikToker responded to users curious about what happened after his first video was filmed. He says he was refunded for the food, however, when his friend called the store manager, they did not provide any apology.
“They basically didn’t care. They were just like, ‘It’s whatever,” the TikToker says in the video.
The Daily Dot reached out to Chick-fil-A via email and to TikToker Tristan via both Instagram message and TikTok comment. Neither replied in time for the publication of this article.
Update 5:06 pm CT, July 13: TikToker Tristan spoke to the Daily Dot and shared the following comments on the incident.
Tristan said, “The video caused a lot of controversy. They refused service even tho the food was already made and ready to go. [I]understand they wanted to go home but as you can see in the video the staff is just standing they’re on their phone laughing and mocking.”
He continued, “[I] didn’t think it would go viral, [I] just wanted to show how inappropriate and disrespectful the staff was being. For a company who prides themselves in being kind and Christian that wasn’t very kind or Christian like of them.” | https://www.dailydot.com/irl/chick-fil-a-workers-throw-out-food-customers-late-to-pick-up/ | 2022-07-14T02:14:10Z | https://www.dailydot.com/irl/chick-fil-a-workers-throw-out-food-customers-late-to-pick-up/ | true | 1 |
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea has become one of the few nations in the world to recognize the independence of two Russian-backed separatist regions in eastern Ukraine in support of Russia’s war against its neighbor.
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry cut off diplomatic ties with North Korea in response and condemned Pyongyang’s decision as undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
North Korea has repeatedly blamed the United States for the crisis in Ukraine, claiming the West's “hegemonic policy” justified Russia's offensive in Ukraine to protect itself.
North Korea’s state media said Thursday that the country’s foreign minister, Choe Sun Hui, sent letters to leaders in the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk a day earlier to convey the North’s decision to recognize their independence and its willingness to develop diplomatic relations with both.
Donetsk separatist leader Denis Pushilin acknowledged North Korea's decision Wednesday.
Luhansk and Donetsk together make up the Donbas region, a mostly Russian-speaking region of steel factories, mines and other industries in Ukraine's east. Separatists have controlled parts of both provinces since 2014, but Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized their independence only shortly before the invasion began in February. Syria has since recognized their independence as well.
Ukrainian Foreign Minster Dmytro Kuleba said Russia’s appeal to North Korea for support shows Moscow has “no more allies in the world, except for countries that depend on it financially and politically.” Ukraine had already suspended its political and economic contacts with North Korea because of international sanctions imposed on the North over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program.
“The level of isolation of the Russian Federation will soon reach the level of isolation of the DPRK,” Kuleba said in a statement, using the initials of North Korea’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has effectively paralyzed the U.N. Security Council, where Russia is a veto-wielding permanent member, leaving an opening for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to push forward his weapons development as he tries to cement the North’s status as a nuclear power and negotiate a removal of crippling U.S.-led sanctions from a position of strength.
North Korea has test-fired more than 30 missiles in 2022 alone, including its first flight test of an intercontinental ballistic missile in nearly five years. There are also indications the North is restoring tunnels at a nuclear testing site that was last active in 2017 in possible preparations to resume nuclear explosive tests. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/N-Korea-backs-independence-of-breakaway-regions-17303852.php | 2022-07-14T02:14:39Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/N-Korea-backs-independence-of-breakaway-regions-17303852.php | true | 48 |

James Packer's ex-fiancée Tziporah Malkah arrives at court wearing fetish-inspired fishnet gloves and a bondage style bra after being found guilty of breaching AVO
James Packer's ex-fiancée Tziporah Malkah raised eyebrows with her courtroom attire as she arrived at Sydney's Sutherland Local court on Thursday.
The former 'It girl', 48, was attending a sentencing hearing, after being found guilty of breaching an Apprehended Violence Order earlier this month.
Malkah, formerly known as Kate Fischer, eschewed judicial dress code for the hearing, wearing a fetish-inspired outfit complete with fishnet gloves and a plunging white top that revealed her lacy, bondage style bra.
James Packer's ex-fiancée Tziporah Malkah, 48, (pictured) arrived at Sutherland Local Court wearing fetish-inspired fishnet gloves and a bondage style bra on Thursday
Her hair was swept up into a fluffy beehive style, while her makeup included black smokey eyes, blush and red lipstick.
The former model completed her look with black harem pants, strappy heels and a black fringed shawl.
According to the NSW Local Court website, 'people attending court are expected to dress appropriately.'
Malkah, formerly known as Kate Fischer, was attending a sentencing hearing after being found guilty of breaching an Apprehended Violence Order earlier this month
'You do not have to wear a suit or tie, just aim to be neat and tidy,' the website explains.
The findings of Thursday's sentencing hearing have not been made public.
Malkah was found guilty of breaching an AVO on July 5, after she posted an expletive-filled post about a man online.
Her hair was swept up into a fluffy beehive style, while her makeup included black smokey eyes, blush and red lipstick
She had been prohibited from uploading any posts online about the unnamed man as part of the court order.
According to News Corp, the court heard that Malkah's post referred to the man as an 'a**hat', 'd*** for brains', and a 'f***head'.
Malkah reportedly claimed that her 'friends and houseguests' could have uploaded the posts.

However, Magistrate Jennifer Atkinson found that Malkah did have access to the social media accounts in question, and found her guilty of breaching the AVO.
Thursday's sentencing hearing came weeks after Tziporah announced she had joined subscription-based adult website OnlyFans.
She spoke about her new career in a rather bizarre Instagram post in which she also paid tribute to her father on his 79th birthday.

'Happy birthday to my wonderful father! Seventy-nine years young today,' she wrote.
'Because of your atheism, I won't bang on about God and all the ways I wish that he'd bless you, not in public anyway. I'm just saying it secretly now to myself in my head… Love you so much. Your daughter Tziporah,' she added.
OnlyFans is a subscription-based adult website where content can range from something as innocent as a suggestive selfie, all the way to hardcore pornography.
For $22 (US$16.30), fans can access exclusive content too risqué for Instagram.

US vows to defend Pacific ally from China
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged Beijing to rescind its claims to the South China Sea and accept a 2016 territorial ruling in favor of the Philippines, also pledging a US military response should China carry out an “armed attack” on the island nation.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the US Embassy in Manila, Blinken said China must “abide by its obligations under international law and cease its provocative behavior” in the South China Sea, citing a prior decision by a Hague tribunal which rejected Beijing’s broad claims to the region.
He went on to say that any “armed attack on Philippine armed forces, public vessels, or aircraft in the South China Sea would invoke US mutual defense commitments” under a 1951 treaty, insisting the sea remain “free and open.”
Asked about the comments during a Wednesday press briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin called the tribunal decision “illegal, null and void” while claiming Washington has used the ruling to “drive a wedge between regional countries and undermine peace and stability.”
“China neither accepts nor recognizes it and will never accept any claim or action based on the award. By doing so, we are upholding the international rule of law,” he said, calling on the US to “to respect China’s sovereignty, rights and interests in the South China Sea, stop stirring up trouble and stop using the South China Sea issue to sow discord.”
Beijing did not take part in the 2016 tribunal, which ended up siding with Manila after it contested Chinese claims to the sea. Several other nations also maintain conflicting claims in the region, including Taiwan, Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia.
Philippine Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo weighed in on the matter on Tuesday, deeming the ruling “indisputable” and stating that the newly elected national government would insist on its enforcement.
“We firmly reject attempts to undermine it… even erase it from law, history and our collective memories,” he said, though did not single out China by name.
Since US President Joe Biden took office last year, the Pentagon has conducted near-monthly transits of the South China Sea, including the contested Taiwan Strait, deploying a variety of warships to the area despite repeated warnings from Beijing. The most recent sail-through came on Wednesday, with China claiming it “drove away” an American guided-missile destroyer after it “illegally trespassed into Chinese territorial waters.” | https://www.rt.com/news/558944-us-defend-philippines-china/ | 2022-07-14T02:32:33Z | https://www.rt.com/news/558944-us-defend-philippines-china/ | false | 2 |
For centuries, the culture of Ancient Egypt has fascinated people around the world. From the massive pyramids to the hidden burial chambers to the hieroglyphics and society itself, Egypt seems so different that many feel it was spawned by someone other than humanity. Those theories and ideas are a lot of what goes into the “Stargate” series of television shows and projects.
So far, the “Star Trek” world has not overlapped too much with Ancient Egypt, although there have been a few glimpses here and there. Egypt was one of the many places where the Guardian of Forever could have deposited Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) in the classic episode, “The City on the Edge of Forever.”
In the world of Marvel Comics, Kirk and the rest of the Enterprise crew encountered a planet much like Ancient Egypt. This adventure, published in June of 1981, featured all the trappings of what a science fiction fan might expect from an Egyptian planet, including a giant living Sphinx. These stories, which were meant to take place after “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” show the crew in their gray pajama uniforms rather than their Monster Maroon suits, which were introduced for “The Wrath of Khan.”
Marvel Comics’ ‘Star Trek’
The planet Zeta Reticuli II was a parallel civilization, like the gangster world on the TOS classic, “A Piece of the Action.” But, stories in Marvel Comics are not considered canon, so this adventure did not take place.
Some said the “new” Klingons from the first season of “Star Trek: Discovery” were Egyptian-like. This was because of the Klingons’ sarcophagus starship and King Tut-like burial casket.
Even though Trek and Egypt have not intersected too terribly much, one artist has made a point to merge these two worlds. Artist and designer Josh Ln has made a name for himself over the years by creating “Hero-glyphics,” which are illustrations of comic book heroes and other pop culture figures in that famous Egyptian style.
Among the many subjects of Ln’s artwork have been the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Avengers, the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, and even Kirk, Spock, and a Gorn. C|Net interviewed Ln on his “Star Trek: The Original Series” artwork back in 2014.
And recently, Ln released something new that excited Trek fans — a “Hero-glyphic” featuring “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Fans of the series have been reposting this art on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. It’s fair to say that Ln’s combination of 24th Century heroes and Ancient Egyptian art has been a hit.
TNG ‘Hero-glyphics’
“It’s an incredible feeling,” said Ln in an interview with Heavy. “I create these things because I want to see what’s in my head and add to the rich tapestry that is ‘Star Trek.’ When other fans enjoy my work, it’s definitely a validation that I’m not wasting my time or really crazy. Maybe just a hint of crazy.”
Ln said that he’s a longtime fan of Trek and said that he is definitely a fan.
“I was an early subscriber to Paramount+,” said Ln. “I remember watching TOS reruns when I was young and really being fascinated by all the artistic choices, and of course Spock.”
“I also didn’t watch TNG during its original run, but definitely wanted to watch,” said Ln. “We only had one family TV at the time, and my parents had another show at the same time that they had to watch. I have no idea what it was, but probably not better. I rewatched all the series when I was college-aged and absolutely fell in love.”
The first TNG work put Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in a “throne,” with Riker (Jonathan Frakes) demonstrating one of his classic leg-stretching poses. Toward the top of the art, Mr. Data (Brent Spiner), Wesley (Wil Wheaton), and Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) are hard at work on some sort of engineering problem. As with all ancient art of the era, the characters are not shown in three dimensions but rather as flattened figures. This scene was fun for Ln to work on, as it contains a bunch of Trek “Easter Eggs.”
“Placing each character in the appropriate position and throwing in little details like the Earl Grey Tea really made me happy,” said Ln. “I usually draw all the characters out on my iPad and then add finishing details in Adobe Illustrator.”
Q, Worf, and More ’Hero-glyphics’
Since this interview was completed, Ln released a new TNG-themed “Hero-glyphics” piece featuring different characters. In the new work, Q (John de Lancie) appears to be ordering Worf (Michael Dorn) and Troi (Marina Sirtis) in some way. Meanwhile, Chief O’Brien (Colm Meaney) works in the transporter room with Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden).
That TNG art appears to be even a bigger hit than his first work, as even Wil Wheaton “liked” it on Instagram.

Hyundai unveiled its new Ioniq 6, a sedan that it says will deliver range on par with the Tesla Model 3, issuing a direct challenge to the best-selling battery-electric sedan on the market.
The Ioniq 6 — the follow-up to Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 SUV and the second model in its Ioniq EV sub-brand — will travel 610 kilometers (379 miles) on a fully charged battery, based on the European WLTP test cycle. That exceeds the 602 kilometers under the WLTP test cycle for the Model 3 Long Range.
That’s a significant accomplishment, given that Tesla has long-served as the benchmark for EV range.
“While many competing EVs have been edging closer to Tesla’s range ratings, relatively few have matched or exceeded them,” said Ed Kim, president and chief analyst for AutoPacific.
The Korean automaker, which has set an ambitious goal to become a top-three EV provider in the U.S. by 2026, hopes that its lineup’s one-two punch will give it a chance to challenge Tesla for the sales crown in the fledgling EV market.
The Tesla Model 3 is the second-best selling electric vehicle in the U.S. after the Tesla Model Y small SUV. Ranked fifth is the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which serves a growing consumer demand for battery-electric SUVs.
However, sedans have been a weak spot for auto sales over the past several years, making Hyundai’s choice seem potentially counterintuitive. But analysts say that battery-electric sedans like the Ioniq 6 and Polestar 2, which also aims to dethrone the Model 3, play a strategic role in the EV market, especially for first-time buyers.
“Because sedans are generally priced significantly lower than their SUV counterparts, they represent a more affordable way to get into EVs,” said Kim. “Assuming the price of Hyundai’s new sedan undercuts the $40,000 IONIQ 5, it could represent a real value proposition for EV shoppers.”
Like the Ioniq 5, Hyundai’s new all-electric sedan will be built on its Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), an 800-volt electrical architecture that enables faster charging than comparably priced EVs, save for Tesla’s.
Hyundai has invested aggressively in expanding the Ioniq portfolio as it strives to go from a maker of affordable, entry-level cars to a top global EV brand known for daring design. The automaker has pledged to spend more than $10 billion in the U.S. by 2025 to develop technology for electric and autonomous vehicles and mobility applications for robotics.
More than half of that investment will fund a new EV plant and battery manufacturing facility in Georgia, where Hyundai plans to build at least some of the 23 EVs it plans to roll out by 2025, such as the Ioniq 7 three-row SUV, an important segment for drivers with large families. The Ioniq 6 will be built in South Korea.
The Ioniq 5, which swept the World Car Awards this spring, showed that Hyundai is willing to be daring with its EV design. That theme continues with the dome-shaped Ioniq 6, whose low hood and high roof make it curvier than most cars, said SangYup Lee, head of Hyundai Global Design Center. The dimensions allow for a cocoon-like, high-ceilinged cabin where occupants can relax or work.
A 64-color ambient lighting system helps “create a mindful space that restores mental energy and enhances inspiration,” Lee said.
Ioniq 6 will go on sale in the U.S. early next year. The price has not been announced.

The Hindenburg Report stated that "[w]e think a substantial portion of EbixCash's gift card revenue is non-existent."
On this news, EbixCash's stock price fell $8.81 per share, or 37.65%, to close at $14.59 per share on June 16, 2022.

‘Married at First Sight’: 6 Key Moments From ‘Whole Wife for a Whole Life?’ (RECAP)
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Married at First Sight, Season 15, Episode 2, “Whole Wife for a Whole Life?”]
Married at First Sight‘s 15th season continues as more couples walk down the aisle in the latest episode, “Whole Wife for a Whole Life?”
After Alexis and Justin made the big leap last week, it’s Lindy and Miguel, and Krysten and Mitch’s turn to say, “I do,” but it doesn’t come without some drama. Below, we’re breaking down all of the key moments from the episode which offer up some startling revelations, so beware of spoilers ahead.
Stacia & Nate Say “I Do”
Picking up where last week’s episode left off, it was time for Stacia and Nate to go through with their ceremony. While she hopes to meet her prince charming, Nate is focused on the future ahead of him. As they prep separately for the nuptials, Stacia’s mom hopes that her daughter will give this experiment a chance even if she doesn’t initially click with her future hubby.
Ahead of the big moment, the individuals each receive a gift from their future spouse, uncovering that they both received polaroid cameras, proving they’re like-minded people. Nerves set in when the ceremony begins and Stacia walks down the aisle with her mother toward Nate. As the event unfolds, Stacia promises to remain on a path they’re beginning today and Nate vows to be her rock. Saying “I do,” Stacia and Nate close the deal with a kiss.
Their special day continues with a quick chat and a glass of champagne. Together, Nate and Stacia talk about their jobs and how they both work from home along with the nerves they had surrounding the day. The mood gets a little tense when Stacia learns Nate isn’t as tidy as her when it comes to housekeeping, but it’s only a small blip on an otherwise positive conversation. When it’s time to meet their families for photos, the duo are getting pretty comfortable with each other, hinting at a positive start to their relationship.
Alexis & Justin’s Turning Point
While viewers saw their wedding in the premiere episode, festivities continue for Alexis and Justin this week as they take photos and build the chemistry. It’s an evening filled with fun and laughter, but the reception takes a turn shortly after the couple takes to the dance floor for the first time. As they laugh and spin around the dance floor, Justin lets it slip that he’s celibate, and the bomb lands with an awkward thud for Alexis who is clearly taken aback by the revelation. Where it leaves them moving forward will remain to be seen.
Tux & Dress Shopping
Traditional tasks continue to take place for the couples who have yet to tie the knot as Lindy and Miguel kicked off the episode’s round of dress and tux shopping. While he settles on something stylish, Lindy struggles to find the right gown as her friends comment on anxiety playing a role in indecisiveness. Ultimately, Lindy does find the right gown which pleases her friends.
Morgan and Binh were next with Morgan seeking out a unique dress that fits her personality, Binh picked a pretty traditional white tux. As Morgan searched for her perfect fit, her mother and friend discussed concerns about her husband accepting her the way she is as an avid video gamer and fitness junkie. Binh’s friends on the flipside worry about his desire to find a woman who is like his mother.
'Married at First Sight': 5 Key Moments From the Season 15 Premiere (RECAP)
Krysten and Mitch also go dress and tux shopping with Krysten telling her friends that she has yet to share the marriage news with her father who she plans to surprise on her wedding day. Meanwhile, Mitch selects a traditional black tux with a black bowtie.
Covid Delays
In a virtual conversation with Dr. Pepper, Morgan is informed that her future husband has contracted Covid-19, postponing their wedding by a few days. Along with the wedding being delayed, Morgan is also told that her and Binh’s honeymoon will be shorter because of this. To say Morgan is disappointed would be an understatement. Although she seems more worried about the idea that her fiance could be lying, Morgan keeps her head held high with this latest development.
Lindy & Miguel’s Nuptials
Next up at the altar are Lindy and Miguel who experience the normal wedding day nerves leading into their ceremony. While they prepare, Lindy is supported by her mother and siblings, noting that her father won’t be attending as he doesn’t approve of the experiment. Although she’s sad about it, Lindy has her brother to walk her down the aisle to Miguel. Meanwhile, Miguel’s sister gets emotional as she supports his impending relationship. The chemistry is almost immediate between the pair once they’re connected at the altar, and their conversation flows effortlessly following the “I dos.” An added bonus? Lindy loves Miguel’s nerdy side and they’re both excited about their flexible work schedules for possible future travels.
Krysten & Mitch in Crises
Ahead of their wedding, Krysten and Mitch deal with their own separate crises. For her, it revolves around the surprise of telling her dad she’s getting married that day. While she waits for his approval, he takes the news in with shock and admits he isn’t sure about it. As for Mitch, he gets a little agitated when he feels like his beard has been trimmed too short, feeling the pressure build for the big day. Will their wedding come together or fall apart? Tune in next week to find out.

Families continue to save and improve lives through deceased organ donation
New figures out today reveal that there were 28 patients who donated their organs after death at Newcastle Hospitals last year, helping to save or improve the lives of 4,324 people desperately in need of a transplant in the UK.
NHS Blood and Transplant has released the figures to mark the publication of the annual Organ Donation and Transplantation Activity Report.
It showed the Royal Victoria Infirmary was one of the top 20 donor hospitals in the UK last year with 26 patients donating their organs after death. There was also two patients from the Freeman Hospital.
The annual report shows deceased organ donation in the UK increased by 18% last year thanks to the continuing recovery of organ donation and transplant activity following the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In total, 1,397 people donated their organs after death last year.
Despite this, the number of people being listed for a transplant has increased, due to most being suspended during the height of the pandemic and, subsequently, others needing a transplant being added to the list. There are currently 6,393 people on the active waiting list and a further 3,990 temporarily suspended.
Anthony Clarkson, Director of Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation, at NHS Blood and Transplant, says:
“Organ donation and transplantation is a fundamental part of the NHS work to save lives. This is shown by the increase in the number of patients this year receiving transplants and the number of those who are continually registering their decision to be an organ donor.
“The fact that 1,397 people saved the lives of others last year through deceased organ donation is wonderful, especially given the fact that the number of families agreeing to donation when they were approached last year than fell by 3% on the year before. We still need families to support their loved one’s decision and agree to donation when approached if they know that’s what they wanted.
“We need to work to improve consent/authorisation rates by encouraging people to register their decision and discuss it with their families as organ donation really does save lives.”
Find out more and register your decision by visiting NHS Organ Donor Register at www.organdonation.nhs.uk and share your decision with your family. | https://www.newsanyway.com/2022/07/14/families-continue-to-save-and-improve-lives-through-deceased-organ-donation/ | 2022-07-14T03:24:59Z | https://www.newsanyway.com/2022/07/14/families-continue-to-save-and-improve-lives-through-deceased-organ-donation/ | true | 2 |

Mass grave with remains of about 8,000 Nazi victims found in Poland
Site with 17.5 tons of human ashes discovered near Soldau concentration camp, north of Warsaw; researchers say victims, possibly ‘Polish elites,’ killed around 1939
A mass grave containing human ashes equivalent to 8,000 people has been discovered near a former Nazi concentration camp in Poland, the country's Institute of National Remembrance said on Wednesday.
The institute, which investigates crimes committed during the Nazi occupation of Poland and the communist era, said the remains were unearthed near the Soldau concentration camp, now known as Dzialdowo, north of Warsaw.
Nazi Germany built the camp when it occupied Poland during World War II, using it as a place of transit, internment, and extermination for Jews, political opponents, and members of the Polish political elite.
Estimates have put the number of prisoners killed at Soldau at 30,000, but the true toll has never been established.
The grim discovery of around 17.5 tons (15,800 kilograms) of human ashes means it can be claimed that at least 8,000 people died there, according to investigator Tomasz Jankowski.
The estimate is based on the weight of the remains, with two kilograms roughly corresponding to one body.
The victims buried in the mass grave "were probably assassinated around 1939 and mostly belonged to the Polish elites," Jankowski said.
In 1944, the Nazi authorities ordered Jewish prisoners to dig up the bodies and burn them to wipe out evidence of war crimes.
Andrzej Ossowski, a genetics researcher at the Pomeranian Medical University, told AFP samples from the ashes had been taken and would be studied in a laboratory.
"We can carry out DNA analysis, which will allow us to find out more about the identity of the victims," he added, following similar studies at former Nazi camps at Sobibor and Treblinka. | https://www.thehansindia.com/news/international/mass-grave-with-remains-of-about-8000-nazi-victims-found-in-poland-753368 | 2022-07-14T03:39:01Z | https://www.thehansindia.com/news/international/mass-grave-with-remains-of-about-8000-nazi-victims-found-in-poland-753368 | false | 9 |
Queen’s property breached TWICE in just five days by Buckingham Palace ‘intruder’
AN INTRUDER who allegedly broke into Buckingham Palace twice in five days last year has appeared in court charged with trespassing and criminal damage.
Camilla ensures she doesn't clash clothes with the Queen
Daniel Brydges, 33, who is said to be mentally unwell, broke into the grounds of the Palace on December 18 and 22 last year.
He allegedly damaged a barbed wire fence “belonging to the Queen’s Estate” near St James’s Park and breached the perimeter of the Queen’s property.
Mr Brydges appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday but spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth.
He denied the charges against him and remains on bail in the condition that he does not attend any royal palace or residence.
His next court appearance is scheduled for October 12, reported the MailOnline.
According to district judge Briony Clarke, this next court date may be more of a “fact-finding” hearing instead of a trial, as his mental health may leave him incapable of submitting a plea.
She said to Mr Brydges: “You have pleaded not guilty to these matters and there has to be a hearing.
“I do not know at this stage whether that will be a trial or an act or omission hearing.”
When speaking about his bail conditions she told him: “I have to warn you, as I do everyone, if you do not attend on that occasion you may be sent to prison.”

Defence counsel Rajesh Bamm told the court: “There is quite a serious mental health background.
“I will be commissioning my own psychiatric report for the defendant.”
This was not the first incident last year when an intruder attempted to gain access to Her Majesty and her property.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Enservco securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Enservco class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6371 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 19, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Enservco had defective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) as a result, there were errors in Enservco's financial statements relating to, inter alia, its transactions with Cross River Partners and accounting for Employee Retention Credits ("ERCs"); (3) accordingly, Enservco would need to restate certain of its financial statements and delay the filing of its 2021 annual report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); (4) Enservco downplayed the true scope and severity of its financial reporting issues; (5) accordingly, Enservco could not file its delayed 2021 annual report with the SEC within its initially represented timeline; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

CHICAGO - Colombian teenager Jhon Duran scored twice in the first 16 minutes as the Chicago Fire defeated Toronto FC 2-0 in MLS play Wednesday.
Toronto, whose defence has been suspect all season, could not handle Duran's pace and power. And it failed to muster much offence.
TFC defender Chris Mavinga was second-best to the Colombian youth international on both of his goals and didn't last the first half. Fellow centre backs Shane O'Neill and Lukas MacNaughton, who replaced Mavinga, were both yellow-carded in the first half for trying to illegally slow down Duran.
Duran was 17 when he signed with Chicago in January 2021, becoming the youngest international player signing in MLS history. He spent the 2021 season with Colombia's Envigado FC before his contract with the Fire officially kicked in.
The loss ended Toronto's 14-game unbeaten run (11-0-3) against Chicago dating back to September 2015. No MLS team has ever gone 15 straight regular-season meetings against a single opponent without losing.
Both teams came into the game needing a change in fortune.
Chicago (5-10-5) started the day at the bottom of the 14-team Eastern Conference, two points and two places below Toronto (5-11-4). After going 2-0-2 to start the season, the Fire were mired in a 2-10-3 slump going into Wednesday's match.
The win moved the Fire up the standings, past Toronto.
TFC is now winless in its last four league outings (0-3-1), has just two victories in its last 13 games (2-9-2) and has yet to win on the road this season (0-6-3).
Soldier Field was the site of TFC's last away win in league play, a 2-1 decision on July 24, 2021. Toronto has gone 0-12-5 away from home since then.
Toronto's defence looked shaky from the start Wednesday and Chicago went ahead in the fourth minute after Mavinga lost the ball under Duran's pressing just inside the Chicago half.
The ball went to Chris Mueller whose through ball found Duran behind the Toronto defence and the 18-year-old beat a defenceless Quentin Mavinga with Chicago's first shot of the evening.
It marked the seventh goal Toronto has given up in the first 15 minutes of a match this season. Only Montreal, with eight, has conceded more in that period.
Duran beat Mavinga again in the 16th minute, outmuscling and racing past him after taking an elegant flick-on by Brian Gutierrez at midfield. Once again Westberg was left unprotected and Duran slipped the ball past the 'keeper as he came out for his third goal of the season.
Mavinga limped off in the 31st minute, holding the back of his left thigh.
Toronto's only scoring chance of the half came in the 41st minute when newly acquired midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye's curling shot from outside the penalty box forced a diving save from 18-year-old goalkeeper Gaga Slonina, who reportedly is being targeted by England's Chelsea.
Toronto coach Bob Bradley replaced Spanish striker Jesus Jimenez with Ayo Akinola at halftime. Kaye gave way to Italian fullback Domenico Criscito in the 63rd minute.
Duran left to applause from the Chicago fans in the 68th minute. Five minutes later, Slonina made an acrobatic one-handed save to tip away Criscito's long-range shot.
Toronto came into the game 26th in the 28-team league on defence, conceding 1.89 goals a game on average,
It has not blanked the opposition since a 0-0 draw at Colorado on Sept. 25, 2021 — a run of 28 straight games without a clean sheet, which ties the fourth-longest regular season streak in league history (set by the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018-19 and the now-defunct Miami Fusion in 1998-99).
Toronto did not have a designated player in its lineup with Spanish playmaker Alejandro Pozuelo traded to Inter Miami last week and Mexican centre back Carlos Salcedo released by his contract Monday by mutual agreement. Italian star Lorenzo Insigne, the team's other DP, has yet to make his TFC debut due to a calf injury.
The Fire were coming off back-to-back losses to Columbus.
Chicago was missing Argentine midfielder Gaston Gimenez, one of its designated players, and Venezuelan defender Miguel Navarro through suspension. Defender Wyatt Omsberg was out with a foot injury.
Toronto, which was also without injured midfielder Noble Okello, visits CF Montreal on Saturday.

PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. (AP) — A man who was bitten by a great white shark off the central California coast last month was released from the hospital on Wednesday.
Steve Bruemmer, 62, was released from Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, after undergoing three weeks of hospital care and rehabilitation three weeks after a shark bit him as he swam off Pacific Grove near Monterey, KSBY-TV reported.
Bruemmer was applauded by hospital workers as he left in a wheelchair, wearing a blue T-shirt emblazoned with the words: “Shark Attack Survivor.”
In a video supplied by the medical center and carried by KSBW-TV, Bruemmer said from a hospital bed that the shark bit him across his thighs and abdomen and then “it spit me out."
“I'm not a seal," said Bruemmer, a retired Monterey Peninsula College professor. “It took me for a seal. We're not their food."
“It was looking at me, right next to me," he said. “I thought it could bite me again so I pushed it with my hand and I kicked at it with my foot and it left."
The shark came within a millimeter of severing a major artery, Nicholas Rottler, a trauma surgeon at the medical center, told KSBW-TV a day after the June 22 attack.
However, no major damage was done to his bones or organs.
“It could’ve been much, much worse he could’ve not made it out of the water,” Rottler said.
After he cried out for help, Bruemmer said he was rescued by two standup paddleboarders — a nurse and a police officer — who came over and a surfer who took two boards from the beach to reach him.
“The three of them in the bloody water got me up onto the surfboard and pulled me into the beach" despite the possibility that the shark was still circling, Bruemmer said, calling them heroes.
Bruemmer said he was taken to a trauma center for surgery and received 28 units of blood. He thanked the medical workers and the blood donors for saving his life.
Police used an aerial drone to look for the shark but didn't spot it.
Shark attacks in California are rare. However, Tomas Butterfield, 42, of Sacramento was killed in a shark attack in Morro Bay in central California last Christmas Eve.
It was the only unprovoked fatal shark attack in the United States last year.
The area was sectioned off for beachgoers following the incident last month. Pacific Grove Police monitored the water using an aerial drone but the shark was not spotted.
Bruemmer is an experienced swimmer and Rottler said this helped in his recovery, “Being in really good physical condition before the shark bite definitely made his functional recovery easier. His upper body strength and cardiac endurance allowed him to improve faster than most patients.”
In a video released by Natividad Medical Center on Wednesday, Bruemmer continuously thanked the bystanders who helped him and the medical team for saving his life.
“Heroes. How do you get into the bloody water, with maybe a shark circling beneath you to save a stranger? They’re amazing." | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Man-bitten-by-great-white-shark-in-California-17303967.php | 2022-07-14T03:49:18Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Man-bitten-by-great-white-shark-in-California-17303967.php | false | 14 |

Will Sri Lanka's economic turmoil impact Asia Cup schedule? Sanath Jayasuriya responds
Despite Sri Lanka finding itself in a grave economic situation, the legendary Sanath Jayasuriya feels the schedule for Asia Cup 2022 is under no threat. The multi-team tournament is to take place from August 27 to September 11.
UP NEXT
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Sri Lanka continues to fight a chaotic economic battle, with protests taking place all across the country.
- With multiple political resignations, the island nation remains without a functional government.
- Despite these challenges, Sanath Jayasuriya is confident of the Asia Cup taking place in the country.
The economic turmoil Sri Lanka is going through continues to get worsen. With protests taking place all across the country, the political leaders are fleeing to different nations. Amid such a chaotic situation in the island nation, many have raised over the country's ability to organise the Asia Cup next month.
The multi-team tournament, which is to be held from August 27 to September 11, is seeing dark clouds looming large over its schedule. However, Sri Lanka cricket great Sanath Jayasuriya is confident of the Asia Cup taking place.
"I am very confident that Asia Cup will happen and there is no threat to the tournament. In Sri Lanka, everyone loves cricket and the cricketers from every nation. The Sri Lankan public has absolutely nothing against any cricketer. There will be all necessary support to hold the tournament peacefully," he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
Related News
The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) hasn't taken a call over the possibility of rescheduling the Asia Cup. The governing body has decided to reassess the situation later this month before deciding if Sri Lanka is in a state to organise the tournament or not.
"The ACC is monitoring the situation and will make a decision in its meeting later this month, keeping all factors in mind," a source told Sportstar on the matter.
It isn't the first time that the fate of the Asia Cup has come under question. The tournament has been getting rescheduled since 2020. Firstly, it was the Covid-19 pandemic that saw it getting suspended. The tournament didn't take place in 2021 either due to Covid-19 and schedule congestion.
Now, it's Sri Lanka's economic situation that is seeing the fate of the Asia Cup this year hanging in balance. Only the coming weeks would suggest if there's the hope of a timely recovery for the tournament to take place or not.

Young Spanish wines make their way to Tagaytay
MANILA, Philippines — Tagaytay has long been a popular local travel destination for Filipinos wanting a breathe of fresh air outside the hustles and bustles of Metro Manila, or to simply get a feel of the city's natural cool breeze.
The city itself is slowly getting back on the tourism track following the January 2020 explosion of the Taal Volcano which was quickly followed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many restaurants are beginning to receive more visitors.
Among these restaurants is Samira by celebrity chef Chele González in Anya Resort Tagaytay, featuring a menu curated by the Spanish chef who has worked in numerous Michelen-star restaurants before opening Gallery by Chele and Gallery Vask here in the Philippines.
Experiencing the vast food selections of Samira will now be elevated as the restaurant has six new wines from Spain's Cuatro Rayas, each of them unique and can be ideally paired to Samira's dishes.
Sergio Fiorentini, Cuatro Rayas' Director of Exports, told Philstar.com in an exclusive interview that the winery chose to have their wines at Samira because of how similar Anya Resort cares for their surroundings and location just as they do back in Spain.
Fiorentini said they are also eyeing Cuatro Rayas' wines to be available in Gonzales' other restaurants, but are open to other avenues.
"We are looking at all different channels, except supermarkets because they destroy the brand, lowering the prices. We would like to be in restaurants, hotels, and bars," he said.
But while Cuatro Rayas is looking to expand their availability, Fiorentini shared that the winery might not start in Metro Manila because of the immense competition — instead they are looking at locations such as Boracay, Palawan, Cebu, and Davao.
Enough white to go around
The definite crowdpleaser among Cuatro Rayas' wines at Samira is the Pampano Rueda, a smooth white wine which isn't clear but rather has a straw yellow color. Its sweetness gives hints of citric fruit and green apples, a mirror of its aroma when swirled in the glass. It is best paired with appetizers like Samira's Seafood Crisp Rice Crackers and the Foie Gras and Mango Waffles, but is also ideal for other pasta and fish dishes.
Other white wines by Cuatro Rayas in Samira are the Palacio de Vivero Verdejo and the Fermentado En Barrica, the former best paired with white meat, salads, and tuna while the latter with fish and grilled meat given its balsamic reminiscence.

An example of the Palacio de Vivero Verdejo's pairing is Samira's Sopa de Mariscos, a seafood soup, and for the Fermentado En Barrica the Basque Style Snapper.
Keeping it red and classy
Of course, there are some wine connoisseurs who prefer red wines, which Cuatro Rayas has an abundance of and highlights their Organic Tempranillo, grown from the winery's organic vine estates which do not use any insecticide.
Because of this, this Tempranillo is ideal for those observing a vegan diet but still want to have a glass of wine by pairing it with vegan stews to highlight its hints of raspberry and "velvety" taste.
But for those not following a special diet, the Organic Tempranillo can be paired with cheeses and roasts, for example Samira's Churrasco or grilled US angus beef cooked Argentinian style over charcoals.
The other two red wines Cuatro Rayas brought over are also tempranillos — the Vacceos Crianza and Pecatis Tuis — which are both ideal for cheeses and grilled meat dishes. Appetizer examples at Samira are their Bulalo Tacos and Jamon Croquetas.
No limitations
Fiorentini actually signed off on all the ideal pairings for Cuatro Rayas' wines with the dishes by Samira, but says they should not be limited to these servings.
"It's very boring to say 'That goes with that food,' it's nice to try and discover new tastes," Fiorentini explained. "There are a lot of different food that we can match."
The Argentine is certain that Filipinos will be excited to try Cuatro Rayas' wines not only for the quality but also because Filipinos love having fruity, sweet, and exclusive wines.
A bulk of the wines are being stored in Don Limone Napa Grill, also found in Tagaytay, which is able to store up to 7,000 wine bottles and is looking to expand its wine cellar to accomodate twice that number.
Don Limone Napa Grill is also looking to try pairing the wines with its revolving menu, which recently found popularity in their Mediterranean dishes like Souvlaki and Hummus dips.

Ethereum Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “Sandwich complexity model: the bottom level architecture of Ethereum should be as simple as possible, and the interfaces to Ethereum (including high level programming languages for developers and the user interface for users) should be as easy to understand as possible. Where complexity is inevitable, it should be pushed into the “middle layers” of the protocol, that are not part of the core consensus but are also not seen by end users – high-level-language compilers, argument serialization and deserialization scripts, storage data structure models, the leveldb storage interface and the wire protocol, etc. However, this preference is not absolute. Freedom: users should not be restricted in what they use the Ethereum protocol for, and we should not attempt to preferentially favor or disfavor certain kinds of Ethereum contracts or transactions based on the nature of their purpose. This is similar to the guiding principle behind the concept of “net neutrality”. One example of this principle not being followed is the situation in the Bitcoin transaction protocol where use of the blockchain for “off-label” purposes (eg. data storage, meta-protocols) is discouraged, and in some cases explicit quasi-protocol changes (eg. OP_RETURN restriction to 40 bytes) are made to attempt to attack applications using the blockchain in “unauthorized” ways. In Ethereum, we instead strongly favor the approach of setting up transaction fees in such a way as to be roughly incentive-compatible, such that users that use the blockchain in bloat-producing ways internalize the cost of their activities (ie. Pigovian taxation). Generalization: protocol features and opcodes in Ethereum should embody maximally low-level concepts, so that they can be combined in arbitrary ways including ways that may not seem useful today but which may become useful later, and so that a bundle of low-level concepts can be made more efficient by stripping out some of its functionality when it is not necessary. An example of this principle being followed is our choice of a LOG opcode as a way of feeding information to (particularly light client) dapps, as opposed to simply logging all transactions and messages as was internally suggested earlier – the concept of “message” is really the agglomeration of multiple concepts, including “function call” and “event interesting to outside watchers”, and it is worth separating the two. Have No Features: as a corollary to generalization, the dev team often refuses to build in even very common high-level use cases as intrinsic parts of the protocol, with the understanding that if people really want to do it they can always create a sub-protocol (eg. ether-backed subcurrency, bitcoin/litecoin/dogecoin sidechain, etc) inside of a contract. An example of this is the lack of a Bitcoin-like “locktime” feature in Ethereum, as such a feature can be simulated via a protocol where users send “signed data packets” and those data packets can be fed into a specialized contract that processes them and performs some corresponding function if the data packet is in some contract-specific sense valid. Non-risk-aversion: the dev team is okay with higher degrees of risk if a risk-increasing change provides very substantial benefits (eg. generalized state transitions, 50x faster block times, consensus efficiency, etc) “

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — As Oregon drafts the rules for its new psilocybin program, the first of its kind in the U.S., residents are voicing concern about the confusing patchwork of local ordinances that may emerge.
In 2020, Oregon became the first state in the nation to legalize the therapeutic, supervised use of psilocybin after 56% of voters approved Ballot Measure 109. Psilocybin is the active hallucinogenic ingredient in what are commonly referred to as magic mushrooms.
But the measure allows counties to opt out of the program if their constituents vote to do so, and several are hoping to do just that, sparking confusion among residents hoping to get involved in the nascent sector.
Questions about this issue were raised several times during the first public listening session hosted Wednesday by the Oregon Health Authority and its new Psilocybin Services section.
Facilitators are paying thousands of dollars for training, one participant said, asking what could be done if counties opt out.
Several county commissioners, mostly in rural areas, have recently decided to put psilocybin center bans on the ballot in November. But even Clackamas County, which includes Portland's southern suburbs as well as rural mountain areas, has drafted an ordinance asking voters to prohibit such centers.
A Clackamas County resident during the listening session wondered if there would be any recourse if after becoming licensed for psilocybin events and activities, the county enacts a voter-approved ban.
Brandon Davis, another participant, echoed the concern. “I might have to move and relocate entirely just to get into this business market,” he said.
The trend is similar to one in 2016 when the state gave local governments the ability to opt-out of legal cannabis sales, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported. Many Eastern Oregon cities and counties banned cannabis sales initially, but some communities saw a shift in opinion after cannabis became a tax boon for municipalities once it was legalized.
Wednesday’s public listening session allowed residents to comment and ask questions. Oregon Psilocybin Services said it will post online responses to the questions in the coming weeks.
Under the measure, only licensed facilitators can possess and administer psilocybin services. Clients, who must be 21 or older, must consume the substance at an approved site under a facilitator’s supervision.
The measure directs OHA to license and regulate the manufacturing, sale and provision of psilocybin services. It also created OPS, a new section housed in OHA, to oversee the creation and implementation of a new regulatory framework.
OPS, still in its two-year development period, is aiming by year’s end to establish the rules on psilocybin facilitator licensure and training, case management, compliance and product tracking, among others.
The Food and Drug Administration has named psilocybin a “breakthrough” therapy for severe depression. The designation can expedite the development of drugs that intend to treat serious conditions and that could substantially improve upon available therapy based on preliminary clinical evidence. Outside of certain scientific research contexts, however, the substance remains illegal under federal law.
Measure 109 was one of two drug-related ballot initiatives approved by Oregon voters in November 2020. Measure 110 decriminalized the possession of small amounts of hard drugs including heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and LSD, marking another national first.
Oregon has pioneered the decriminalization of controlled substances in the U.S. It was the first state to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana in 1973.

TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays fired manager Charlie Montoyo on Wednesday and promoted bench coach John Schneider to interim manager for the remainder of the season.
General manager Ross Atkins made the move even with the Blue Jays at 46-42 this season. They held the AL’s final wild-card slot when the day began but were in fourth place in the AL East.
Triple-A manager Casey Candaele was named interim bench coach.
“I truly wanted this to work with Charlie and wasn’t able to make that happen,” general manager Ross Atkins said before the Blue Jays hosted Philadelphia. “I’m extremely disappointed in where we are. I think we’re better than how we’ve played.”
Toronto beat the Phillies 4-3 on Tuesday to snap a four-game losing streak.
“Us as players know things could be better, things have to be better,” Blue Jays outfielder George Springer said. “We understand what we all can do. It hasn’t really shown yet. I think that’s the frustrating part.”
Atkins said the decision to fire Montoyo was made in the past 24 hours.
“It got to the point where it felt as though there were a lot of good individual things happening and we need to be playing better as a team,” Atkins said
The Blue Jays are 3-9 in July. They went 1-6 on a road trip against Oakland, which has the worst record in the majors, and Seattle that ended Sunday with a four-game sweep against the Mariners.
“I think we’re just not playing to our potential,” Atkins said. “I see some small opportunities to help that, and this was one of them.”
Montoyo became the third manager to lose his job this season. The Los Angeles Angels replaced Joe Maddon with Phil Nevin on June 7, four days after Philadelphia fired Joe Girardi in favor of Rob Thomson, who managed against Schneider Wednesday.
“(Phillies president) Dave (Dombrowski) just said I’m the longest-tenured manager on the field today,” Thomson said. “I feel old.”
The 13th manager in Blue Jays history, and the first from Puerto Rico, Montoyo went 236-236 in parts of four seasons.
Montoyo, 57, replaced John Gibbons as Blue Jays manager after the 2018 season. Montoyo’s contract was extended through 2023 on April 1.
“I believe in him still as a baseball leader, but I felt this change was necessary,” Atkins said of Montoyo.
Schneider has been on Toronto’s big league staff since 2019 and became bench coach this season.
Drafted by the Blue Jays as a catcher in 2002, Schneider spent six seasons in Toronto’s minor leagues, rising as high as Triple-A in 2007 before becoming a coach the following year.
Schneider managed Toronto’s Class A team to a Florida State League title in 2017, then led Double-A New Hampshire to the Eastern League crown in 2018. That Double-A team featured current Blue Jays stars Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Jordan Romano, among others.
“This is something that I’ve always wanted to do and I’m just looking forward to doing it with this group that I’m familiar with, both in the coaching office and the guys in the clubhouse,” Schneider said.
“I don’t really see many cons, to be honest with you,” Schneider added. “This is a group that’s talented and wants to win.”
Atkins called the decision to promote Schneider “a natural step,” acknowledging that Schneider’s history with the roster was a factor.
“That definitely was a part of it, that familiarity, at this point in the season,” Atkins said.
Springer said Schneider’s energy and attitude will be important attributes as the Blue Jays attempt to improve their performance.
“He’s obviously a very energetic guy,” Springer said. “He likes to have fun. There’s never really a dull moment with him. Hopefully, who he is as a person will kind of ooze onto us as players and allow us to relax a little bit, have a little bit more fun and kind of enjoy the day.”
Schneider said he was driving to lunch with his wife and sons when Atkins called to deliver the news.
“Those plans kind of changed in a hurry,” Schneider said, adding that his two young boys weren’t entirely clear on dad’s new job.
“They could tell by mom’s reaction that it was pretty cool,” he said.
Toronto’s skid started July 2, when it was swept in a doubleheader against Tampa Bay. Montoyo and first base coach Mark Budzinksi left the dugout during Game 2 after learning of the death of Budzinski’s teenage daughter, Julia.
Several members of the Blue Jays organization flew to Virginia together on Monday’s day off to attend Julia Budzinski’s funeral.
“Out of respect for Charlie, once you’ve made the decision, regardless of circumstance, that’s the best thing for the individual and the team,” Atkins said of Montoyo’s firing coming on the heels of that tragedy.
Montoyo oversaw a tumultuous period in Blue Jays history, with the team playing home games in three cities last season, including two minor league parks, because of border restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Toronto also played its 2020 home schedule at its Triple-A stadium in Buffalo, New York.
Montoyo led Toronto to a 32-28 record and a wild-card playoff berth in the expanded playoffs that followed the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, but the Blue Jays were swept by eventual AL champion Tampa Bay in the opening round. Toronto went 91-71 in 2021 and missed tying for the AL wild card by one game.
Before joining the Blue Jays, Montoyo spent six seasons on Tampa Bay’s major league coaching staff, including his final three as bench coach. Prior to that, he spent 18 seasons as a minor league manager in the Rays system and also worked with the Puerto Rican team at the 2009 World Baseball Classic.

Murder of corrections officials shows minister must prioritise safety: PSA
There is a severe shortage of staff and safety equipment, say staff
Lawlessness has reached unprecedented levels and law-enforcement officers are no longer feared by criminals, the Public Servants Association (PSA) said on Wednesday.
The PSA said this as it condemned the “senseless and barbaric” killing of two Boksburg community correctional officers in Duduza on Tuesday.
The officers were murdered while pursuing a parolee who had absconded.
“The situation is worsened by severe staff shortages in the department of correctional services (DCS) and the leniency of the system in offering unmerited parole to unworthy offenders.
“It is well documented that the DCS is severely understaffed, which is contributing to ongoing violent attacks on correctional officers by inmates,” said the union, which represents more than 14,000 employees at the DCS.
The union said it was informed of the shortage of batons and safety vests, which further exposes the employees to risks.
“The PSA cannot stand by and see that these employees are attacked when the DCS is doing nothing to ensure that its establishment is strengthened and that correctional officers are equipped with the required safety equipment.
The PSA urged justice and correctional services minister Ronald Lamola to prioritise the safety of correctional officials by ensuring the DCS is adequately resourced in terms of staff and equipment required to render their duties.
“The PSA sends heartfelt condolences to the families and colleagues of the two correctional officers who paid the highest price while performing their duties. The DCS is advised to ensure that the necessary support is offered to officers’ families and colleagues.”

The Senate easily approved Michael Barr to be the Federal Reserve’s top banking regulator in a bipartisan vote Wednesday.
Barr, a former top Treasury official under President Barack Obama, is the last of President Joe Biden’s three nominees to the Fed’s board of governors to win Senate confirmation. All seven seats on the Fed’s board are now filled, for the first time in roughly a decade, as the central bank tackles the worst inflation in 40 years.
The Senate voted 66-28 to approve Barr to serve as vice chair for supervision, the government’s primary financial regulator.
As a Treasury official, Barr helped design the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulations after the devastating 2008 financial crisis. He most recently was the dean of the University of Michigan’s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.
During a Senate hearing, Barr pledged to support the Fed’s efforts to reduce inflation and said he would promote “clear rules” to govern financial innovation.
He also said during the hearing that Congress and financial agencies should regulate stablecoins, a form of cryptocurrency often pegged to the dollar, to protect consumers from sharp drops in their value, which can occur if stablecoins don’t have sufficient assets to back up their dollar pegs. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/senate-approves-michael-barr-to-federal-reserve-post-8824671.html | 2022-07-14T04:26:04Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/senate-approves-michael-barr-to-federal-reserve-post-8824671.html | true | 31 |

U.S. Foreclosure Starts up 219 Percent in First Six Months of 2022; 96 Percent of Major Metro Areas Saw an Annual Increase in Foreclosure Filings; Foreclosure Rates Highest in Illinois, New Jersey, and Ohio
IRVINE, Calif., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ATTOM, a leading curator of real estate data nationwide for land and property data, today released its Midyear 2022 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 164,581 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — in the first six months of 2022. That figure is up 153 percent from the same time period a year ago but down just one percent from the same time period two years ago.
"Foreclosure activity across the United States continued its slow, steady climb back to pre-pandemic levels in the first half of 2022," said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of market intelligence at ATTOM. "While overall foreclosure activity is still running significantly below historic averages, the dramatic increase in foreclosure starts suggests that we may be back to normal levels by sometime in early 2023."
Bucking the national trend with decreasing foreclosure activity compared to a year ago in the nation's most populated metros during the first half of 2022, were only 7 of the 223 metro areas analyzed. Those metros included Lake Havasu, Arizona (down 47 percent); Eugene, Oregon (down 27 percent); Springfield, Illinois (down 19 percent); Shreveport, Louisiana (down 9 percent); and Brownsville, Texas (down 8 percent).
Nationwide 0.12 percent of all housing units (one in every 854) had a foreclosure filing in the first half of 2022.
States with the highest foreclosure rates in the first half of 2022 were Illinois (0.26 percent of housing units with a foreclosure filing); New Jersey (0.24 percent); Ohio (0.21 percent); Delaware (0.20 percent); and South Carolina (0.19 percent).
Other states with first-half foreclosure rates among the 10 highest nationwide, were Florida (0.18 percent); Nevada (0.18 percent); Indiana (0.16 percent); Georgia (0.13 percent); and Michigan (0.13 percent).
Among 223 metropolitan statistical areas with a population of at least 200,000, those with the highest foreclosure rates in the first half of 2022 were Cleveland, Ohio (0.40 percent of housing units with foreclosure filings); Atlantic City, New Jersey (0.33 percent); Jacksonville, North Carolina (0.31 percent); Chicago, Illinois (0.30 percent); and Columbia, South Carolina (0.30 percent).
Other metro areas with foreclosure rates ranking among the top 10 highest in the first half of 2022 were Rockford, Illinois (0.30 percent of housing units with a foreclosure filing); Lakeland, Florida (0.27 percent); Akron, Ohio (0.24 percent); Fayetteville, North Carolina (0.24 percent); and Trenton, New Jersey (0.23 percent).
A total of 117,383 U.S. properties started the foreclosure process in the first six months of 2022, up 219 percent from the first half of last year and up 19 percent from the first half of 2020.
States that saw the greatest number of foreclosures starts in the first half of 2022 included, California (12,805 foreclosure starts); Florida (11,448 foreclosure starts); Tennessee (10,970 foreclosure starts); Illinois (8,411 foreclosure starts); and Ohio (6,987 foreclosure starts).
"It's important to note that many of the foreclosure starts we're seeing today – in fact, much of the overall foreclosure activity we're seeing right now – is on loans that were either already in foreclosure or were more than 120 days delinquent prior to the pandemic," Sharga added. "Many of these loans were protected by the government's foreclosure moratorium, or they would have already been foreclosed on two years ago. There's very little delinquency or default activity that's truly new in the numbers we're tracking."
Lenders foreclosed (REO) on a total of 20,750 U.S. properties in the first six months of 2022, up 30 percent from the last half of 2021 and up 113 percent from the first half of 2020.
States that posted the greatest number of REOs in the first half of 2022 included, Illinois (2,434 REOs); Michigan (2,259 REOs); Pennsylvania (1,290 REOs); California (1,043 REOs); and Florida (1,041 REOs).
There were a total of 90,139 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings in Q2 2022, up 15 percent from the previous quarter and up 165 percent from a year ago.
The national foreclosure activity total in Q2 2022 was 68 percent below the pre-recession average of 278,912 per quarter from Q1 2006 to Q3 2007, making Q2 2022 the 23rd consecutive quarter with foreclosure activity below the pre-recession average.
Second quarter foreclosure activity was below pre-recession averages in 177 out 223 (79 percent) metropolitan statistical areas with a population of at least 200,000 and sufficient historical foreclosure data, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Atlanta, San Francisco, Riverside-San Bernardino, Phoenix and Detroit.
Metro areas with second quarter foreclosure activity above pre-recession averages included Honolulu, Richmond, Virginia-Beach, Albany, and Montgomery.
Properties foreclosed in the second quarter of 2022 took an average of 948 days from the first public foreclosure notice to complete the foreclosure process, up from 917 days in the previous quarter and up from 922 days in the second quarter of 2021.
States with the longest average foreclosure timelines for foreclosures completed in Q2 2022 were Nevada (2,683 days), Hawaii (2,619 days), New Jersey (1,984 days), Louisiana (1,901 days), and New York (1,823 days).
States with the shortest average foreclosure timelines for foreclosures completed in Q2 2022 were West Virginia (82 days), Montana (84 days), Missouri (117 days), Minnesota (141 days), and Arkansas (154 days).
- Nationwide in June 2022, one in every 4,431 properties had a foreclosure filing.
- States with the highest foreclosure rates in June 2022 were Illinois (one in every 2,096 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Delaware (one in every 2,117 housing units); Ohio (one in every 2,386 housing units); Nevada (one in every 2,408 housing units); and South Carolina (one in every 2,471 housing units).
- 22,239 U.S. properties started the foreclosure process in June 2022, up 1 percent from the previous month and up 226 percent from a year ago.
Lenders completed the foreclosure process on 3,239 U.S. properties in June 2022, up 13 percent from the previous month and up 40 percent from a year ago.
The ATTOM U.S. Foreclosure Market Report provides a count of the total number of properties with at least one foreclosure filing entered into the ATTOM Data Warehouse during the month and quarter. Some foreclosure filings entered into the database during the quarter may have been recorded in the previous quarter. Data is collected from more than 3,000 counties nationwide, and those counties account for more than 99 percent of the U.S. population. ATTOM's report incorporates documents filed in all three phases of foreclosure: Default — Notice of Default (NOD) and Lis Pendens (LIS); Auction — Notice of Trustee Sale and Notice of Foreclosure Sale (NTS and NFS); and Real Estate Owned, or REO properties (that have been foreclosed on and repurchased by a bank). For the annual, midyear and quarterly reports, if more than one type of foreclosure document is received for a property during the timeframe, only the most recent filing is counted in the report. The annual, midyear, quarterly and monthly reports all check if the same type of document was filed against a property previously. If so, and if that previous filing occurred within the estimated foreclosure timeframe for the state where the property is located, the report does not count the property in the current year, quarter or month.
ATTOM provides premium property data to power products that improve transparency, innovation, efficiency and disruption in a data-driven economy. ATTOM multi-sources property tax, deed, mortgage, foreclosure, environmental risk, natural hazard, and neighborhood data for more than 155 million U.S. residential and commercial properties covering 99 percent of the nation's population.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Chile international Arturo Vidal has joined Brazilian club Flamengo on a free transfer after two seasons at Inter Milan.
“Today a dream I had all my life comes true. Now I am Mengão,” Vidal posted on Instagram, making a reference to Flamengo’s nickname.
Vidal attended Flamengo’s 2-0 home win Wednesday against Atletico Mineiro, which put the Rio de Janeiro club through to the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. Uruguay international Giorgian de Arrascaeta scored both goals. Mineiro had won the first leg 2-1.
Brazilian media said the 35-year-old midfielder’s contract with Flamengo will run until December of next year.
Vidal started his professional career for Chilean giants Colo Colo in 2005. Two years later, he moved to Bayer Leverkusen. He left for Juventus in 2011, joined Bayern Munich in 2015 and signed for Barcelona in 2018.
He has won league titles in Italy (4), Germany (3) and Spain (1).
Vidal lifted Copa America trophies with Chile in 2015 and ’16, and played for the national team at World Cups in 2010 and ’14
Flamengo is ninth in the Brazilian championship with 21 points after 16 matches, nine points behind league-leading Palmeiras.
In August, Flamengo will play local rival Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.

By BERNIE WILSON AP Sports Writer
SAN DIEGO — They’re going to try to play college basketball on an aircraft carrier again, and nautical veteran Tom Izzo and Michigan State will get a return trip to San Diego Bay to face Gonzaga on the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln on Veteran’s Day.
The game will be shown in prime time on Nov. 11 as part of ESPN’s Armed Forces Classic from the flat top moored at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado, across the bay from downtown San Diego. The Abraham Lincoln is on deployment and is due back in port later this summer.
Izzo’s Spartans lost to No. 1 North Carolina, 67-55, on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson on Nov. 11, 2011, in the first college basketball game on an active carrier. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama watched from courtside. The Carl Vinson conducted Osama bin Laden’s burial at sea after he was killed by Navy SEALs in a raid ordered by Obama six months earlier.
This will be the first aircraft carrier game since 2012, when only two of four games scheduled that fall were played, including one in San Diego that had to be pushed back two days because of rain rather than move it indoors.
While the 2011 Carrier Classic was played in a spectacular setting, it ended less than an hour before rain drenched the court, just one of the hazards organizers face in staging carrier hoops games. Organizers said there would be a backup court on the hangar deck as a contingency, but that court was never set up.
Izzo welcomed the chance to play in another carrier game.
“The experience we had in 2011 when we played North Carolina on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson was one of the most humbling experiences of my career,” Izzo said in a statement. “Obviously, we wanted to win and any game against a program like that is very special, but to me, the game was about so much more than just a win or a loss.
“This opportunity to play on an aircraft carrier in front of men and women who serve in the military and are willing to put their lives on the line is an experience that is going to mean something to the young men who will play in the game for a long, long time,” Izzo added. “I said it last time and I’ll say it again, we’re going to play one of the best teams in the country and we’re going to be hosted by the No. 1 team in the world.”
Gonzaga coach Mark Few echoed Izzo’s thoughts.
“This is a special opportunity for our program to support those who fight for our country in our own small way. We’re excited to face an incredible program in Michigan State and a great colleague in Coach Izzo. I’m sure this will be a great memory for all of us,” the Zags coach said in a statement.
The aircraft carrier craze went away after 2012, when Mother Nature played some serious lockdown defense, at least on the East Coast.
In a scheduled Carrier Classic doubleheader aboard the decommissioned USS Yorktown in Charleston, South Carolina, on Nov. 9, 2012, Notre Dame beat Ohio State in a women’s game that started in the afternoon. But a men’s game between Ohio State and Marquette scheduled for the evening never started because of condensation on the court.
That same night, a game against Georgetown and Florida aboard the active-duty USS Bataan in Gainesville, Florida, was called off after the first half because of condensation.
In San Diego, a game between Syracuse and San Diego State scheduled for the evening of Nov. 9 aboard the flight deck of the USS Midway Museum on the San Diego side of the bay was pushed back two days because of rain. When it was played in brilliant sunshine on the afternoon of Nov. 11, a brisk wind blowing across the bay contributed to the host Aztecs making just 1 of their 18 3-point attempts in a 62-49 loss to the taller Orange and their zone defense.
Clint Overby, vice president of ESPN Events, said all parties will consider contingencies in case of bad weather or world events that would make the aircraft carrier unavailable.
He said returning to an aircraft carrier game was “just an option that presented itself. There was no grand plan with it. It was something that was made available in terms of a discussion and we explored it and found it to be viable. More importantly, we found teams who wanted to engage in that experience and were very understanding of the logistical challenges that could be presented.
“There has always been an intrigue from coaches and participating institutions to provide a thank you back to the men and women of the military,” Overby said. “The number of teams that have lined up to play in these events, whether they be overseas or even domestically, that’s been, in our minds, very well-received by the intercollegiate basketball community. So, we’re excited about that.” | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/07/13/gonzaga-michigan-state-to-play-on-aircraft-carrier-deck-in-san-diego/ | 2022-07-14T04:43:12Z | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/07/13/gonzaga-michigan-state-to-play-on-aircraft-carrier-deck-in-san-diego/ | false | 24 |
Things were going great. I planted the plants on Memorial Day weekend in one of the horse troughs I use as raised gardens. I turned the soil, pulled out the early weeds and planted the tiny plants with tender loving care. I fed them some time-release plant food. The two plants were thriving by mid-June and covered with big yellow blossoms. Every morning when I drank my coffee, I would look over the deck railing and marvel at how great they looked.
Until that morning … Something had eaten most of the leaves on one of the plants, leaving only stems and blossoms. The plant on the other side of the trough was perfect — as were the tomato plants between them.
I immediately blamed my tenant, Berkshire Bill, the groundhog/gopher/woodchuck who lives under the shed at the rear of my property. Bill has been known to meander across my deck, slither through the uprights on the deck railing and jump into the closest trough. I put an unused screen window and a baby gate to block his entry into his garden buffet.
The vandalized plant rapidly grew back. In anticipation of a good harvest, I browsed through my recipes before deciding on Ree Drummond’s recipe for Zucchini Lasagna. All in vain — I looked the other morning and the plant was, once again, down to its stalks and blossoms. Not even Berkshire Bill, as large as he is, could possibly reach the leaves from the ground. The mystery remains as to what is eating it … and why only the one plant?
ZUCCHINI LASAGNA
(Courtesy of Ree Drummond)
Yield: 8 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon olive oil
One 20-ounce package cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 ounces spinach, rinsed and drained
3 large zucchinis (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 pound mozzarella
6 fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 cups low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 eggs, beaten
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Two 24-ounce jars store-bought marinara
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and mushrooms and saute until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until it wilts. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, trim the ends of the zucchini. Using a knife, carefully slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/16 inch thick. If the zucchini looks watery, lay the slices on paper towels to absorb excess moisture before using.
Grate the mozzarella cheese and set aside.
Cut the basil into a chiffonade and finely chop the parsley. In a medium bowl, combine the herbs, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, the eggs, salt and pepper and stir well.
To assemble the lasagna, place a third of the mushrooms and spinach mixture over the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon a layer of marinara on top and cover with half of the zucchini strips, carefully overlapping the edges. Spoon half of the cottage cheese mixture onto the zucchini and spread to distribute evenly. Sprinkle half the mozzarella on top of the cottage cheese mixture. Repeat the process above, layering the mushrooms and spinach, marinara, the remaining zucchini strips, cottage cheese, and mozzarella into the dish. Top with the remaining mushrooms and spinach, followed by a final layer of marinara.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the Parmesan over the top and bake until the lasagna is hot and bubbly, about 40 minutes. Allow to stand for 35 minutes before cutting into squares.

Thunder Rosa's previous match with former WWE star Marina Shafir has become a hot topic again, as a major AEW star seemingly mocked La Mera Mera on Twitter.
Last month, the reigning AEW Women's Champion was accused of "sandbagging" her opponent Shafir during a high-stakes match. The accusation came from former Ring of Honor star Erick Stevens, who indicated the star's unprofessionalism without directly mentioning her.
Although Thunder Rosa denied the claims, it is interesting to note that both Britt Baker and Marina Shafir liked the accusatory tweet from Erick Stevens.
In a segment involving Rosa and Toni Storm on this week's Dynamite, the "sandbagging" claim against the former WWE star received another mention as Britt Baker dropped a literal bag of sand on Tony Schiavone's arms.
Team Baker also stated that they were ready for "ThunderStorm," the new alliance between Rosa and Toni Storm. Furthermore, The Doctor also posted a picture of holding a sandbag with her allies, seemingly taking a shot at Thunder Rosa.
"Sandbag ✅ We’re ready for #ThunderStorm #AewDynamite"
While the accusations may be unfounded, the former All Elite Women's Champion has found a way to work it into a storyline. It remains to be seen what is next for the women's division feud in Tony Khan's Promotion.
You can check out the results from this week's Dynamite here.
Fans were excited at the prospect of Britt Baker's return to mainstream AEW programming
Britt Baker's recent dramatic segment and tweet had fans reacting wildly on social media.
Many were happy to see Baker back on TV after a few weeks' absence:
Furthermore, many commenters had hilarious reactions to the "Sandbag" reference.
Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa already had an iconic feud last year, ending with the former's defeat in a title match. The rivalry seems set to be reignited, this time roping in Toni Storm as well. Fans will have to tune in to AEW programming to see how the storyline unfolds in the coming weeks.

The Better Business Bureau details the latest scams that has been seen across social media.
1. Marketplace scams
You list a big-ticket item worth several hundred dollars on Facebook Marketplace. You are quickly contacted by a buyer who wants to pay using a peer-to-peer payment app. Recent BBB Scam Tracker reports reference Zelle, but this scam could also work with CashApp, Venmo, or another similar service.
Shortly after receiving the payment, you get an email, supposedly from Zelle. Allegedly, the buyer paid via a Zelle “business account.” Now, you also need to upgrade your account to business status to accept the transfer. To do so, the buyer will need to send you another $300. They are happy to do you a favor - if you promise to refund them.
2. Rental scams
You respond to an online rental listing that touts a beautiful home, low rent, and great amenities. It looks legitimate; con artists often use real photos and descriptions stolen from other websites. The “landlord” replies to your message claiming to be out of town and unable to show the property. In the newest BBB Scam Tracker reports, con artists pretend to be out of town for work or in the hospital with a health emergency.
The scammer will then create a false sense of urgency, telling you that others are interested, so you must act immediately. They will ask for a security deposit and/or the first month’s rent to reserve the property. The scammer may claim that you can see the property through a rental agent – only after you pay the deposit. In some versions, the “landlord” will require prospective tenants to complete an application form, which asks for personal details like a Social Security number.
3. Employment scams
You receive an email to your school email address encouraging you to apply for a job. The message appears to come from your school’s job placement office, student services department, or even a specific professor. The position – it may be anything from pet sitting to secret shopping -- sounds perfect for a college student. The work is easy, has flexible hours, and offers excellent pay.
When you reply to the message, things start to get strange. The “employer” hires you without an interview. Then, they send you a check with instructions to deposit it before you’ve even done any work. You are instructed to use this money to purchase gift cards, money orders, prepaid debit cards, or other supplies you’ll need for your new job. Part of what you purchase should be sent to your new employer. The rest of the money will be your payment.
However, the check is a fake – a detail your bank will let you know a day or two after depositing it. Any money you sent to your “employer” is gone for good. In addition, the scammers now have your personal information.
4. Fake gas cards
You see a post on social media, get an email, or take a survey that says you won a $500 gas station gift card. Currently, the scam claims to be from Shell, but watch out for scammers using different gas station brands too.
To get the gift card, you only need to pay a small fee. But when scammers get your credit or debit card information, they will likely charge your account for amounts you never approved. One consumer told BBB Scam Tracker: “They said I won a Shell gas card and had to pay $1.95 for shipping. A day later, they took $89.95 out of my account. I called about the charge, and they fixed it, but the next day, another $89.95 was taken out again.”
In addition to your credit card information, the scam may also request other personal details. Some consumers say they were asked to fill out a form and provide their name, phone number, physical address, credit card information, and other details. Sharing these details with scammers can open you up to identity theft.
5. Law enforcement impersonation
You receive a telephone call, email, text message, or a message on social media by someone alleging to be from a law enforcement agency. Scammers claim to represent agencies ranging from the local police to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to Canada Border Services.
These impostors tell you there is a problem that you need to resolve immediately—usually by sending them a fee. In one recent version of this scam, the impostor claims to have seized a package with your name on it. Now, they need a copy of your driver’s license and money to fix the issue. Scammers often threaten fines, arrest, or other penalties in an attempt to scare you into immediate action.
Here's the twist! If you are hesitant, the scammers will offer to text or email doctored credentials to you, to confirm their identity. The badge is either stolen or has been edited to include a different name. But no matter how convincing the “badge” or the impostor’s story may be, always do your research before acting. If you send these scammers money, they will disappear, and you won’t be able to get it back. | https://www.mcalesternews.com/news/local_news/5-things-to-know-what-are-the-latest-social-media-scams-and-how-can-i/article_522f6d88-d716-5257-848a-6a0420f181dc.html | 2022-07-14T05:01:27Z | https://www.mcalesternews.com/news/local_news/5-things-to-know-what-are-the-latest-social-media-scams-and-how-can-i/article_522f6d88-d716-5257-848a-6a0420f181dc.html | true | 2 |
SEATTLE (AP) — A 48-year-old Seattle man arrested Saturday on suspicion of committing a hate crime against U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal was released from jail Wednesday.
King County prosecutors said Seattle police released him because they couldn’t say with certainty that he told the congresswoman to go back to India or that he threatened to kill her, The Seattle Times reported.
Court records show Seattle police on Wednesday obtained a temporary Extreme Risk Protection Order to require the man to surrender his firearms and concealed pistol license, citing concerns about escalating behavior toward Jayapal and increasing mental health struggles.
The investigation is ongoing. Prosecutors have not declined to file a criminal case but don’t currently have evidence to prove a hate crime was committed, said Casey McNerthney, a spokesperson for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors have 72 hours, not including holidays and weekends, to file criminal charges against a person in custody. If charges are not filed by then, the person must be released from jail.
“In a time of increased political violence, security concerns against any elected official should be taken seriously, as we are doing here,” McNerthney wrote in an email Wednesday. “The investigation is ongoing and our office is working with police investigators to make sure we understand the full extent of the suspect’s actions to build the strongest case possible."
In 2016, Jayapal became the first Indian American woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. The Democrat heads the Congressional Progressive Caucus. A spokesperson for Jayapal didn’t immediately respond to an email from The Seattle Times requesting comment Wednesday.
Seattle police arrested the man outside Jayapal’s house in the Arbor Heights neighborhood at 11:25 p.m. Saturday after she called 911 and reported an unknown person or people were in a vehicle using obscene language, according to the probable cause statement. She told a dispatcher her husband thought someone may have fired a pellet gun, the statement said.
Officers found the man standing in the the street with his hands in the air and a handgun holstered on his waist, the probable cause statement said.
A neighbor told police she heard the man yell something to the effect of, “Go back to India. I’m going to kill you,” the statement said. The neighbor also saw and heard the man drive by Jayapal’s residence at least three times, yelling profanities, according to the statement.
A detective met with Jayapal’s husband, who provided video clips from their home-security system, according to the protection order petition. In one clip, the last part of the word “India” can be heard, followed by an expletive-laced rant directed at Jayapal, the petition said. In another clip, the man can be seen approaching the house while yelling profanities about being Jayapal’s neighbor, followed by the sound of metal.
The detective couldn't be sure if the sound was from a handgun being racked or metal tent poles as the man tried to put up a tent on Jayapal’s property, the petition said.
Police learned the man sent an email to Jayapal’s public account in January, saying he didn’t like her because of her “perceived political wrongdoings,” the petition said. He has also driven by her house and shouted obscenities at her multiple times since late June, according to the petition.
The petition notes the man told officers he wanted to purchase an assault-style rifle for protection but denied saying anything about Jayapal’s ethnicity or threatening to kill her.
The man’s mother told police her son recently hadn’t been eating or sleeping and struggling with pain from a workplace injury and with managing his mental health, according to the petition. She told police it was not a good idea for her son to have access to guns.
Within 14 days of a temporary protection order being issued, a full hearing is held before a judge during which a respondent can challenge it. The judge then decides whether to deny or grant a permanent order, which bars the respondent from owning or buying firearms for one year. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Man-accused-in-threats-to-kill-Rep-Pramila-17304049.php | 2022-07-14T05:03:47Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Man-accused-in-threats-to-kill-Rep-Pramila-17304049.php | true | 21 |
Nancy Aichholz, CEO of Aviatra Accelerators, a non-profit accelerator
devoted to women-owned businesses, announced her upcoming transition away from day-to-day operations.
Aichholz is actively involved in the organization’s search for its next president and CEO. She will remain in the role until a successor is named and their goal is to fill the administration positions by October.
“Nancy possesses a rare combination of grace, vision, leadership, passion and dedication not only for female entrepreneurs, but to the growth of our region,” said Trey Grayson, Aviatra Accelerators board member, who has worked closely with Nancy since 2018. “She fostered relationships in the start-up, government, and academic arenas, as well as key funders that have been critical to our expansion and growth not only in Cincinnati, but throughout the region.”
At the beginning of her Aviatra tenure, Aichholz established Aviatra’s headquarters in Covington. She added additional staff to the organization and led Aviatra’s rebranding effort to develop a more relevant strategy for the team.
Working with Aviatra’s Board of Directors, she successfully positioned Aviatra’s educational programming for female entrepreneurs, resulting in over 3,000 local women completing Aviatra programs. Aviatra entrepreneurs created 15,000 jobs and have a cumulative total of over a billion dollars in earned revenue.
Prior to her leadership role at Aviatra, Aichholz has her own entrepreneurial experience.
She created a gourmet cake company called NanBrands while at home raising her children, after pursuing corporate marketing roles.
Aichholz plans to return to her own entrepreneurial focus

Dry weather pushes down Argentina's wheat harvest forecast
Adds details from the statement
BUENOS AIRES, July 13 (Reuters) - Argentina's wheat harvest for the 2022/23 season is expected at 17.7 million tonnes, down from a previous estimate of 18.5 million tonnes, the Rosario Grains Exchange (BCR) said late on Wednesday.
The decrease comes due to a drop in the estimated planting area because of a drought in agricultural areas. The grains exchange also revised upwards its 2021/22 forecast for corn production.
Agricultural regions have suffered significant water shortage since the wheat planting season began in May. BCR now sees areas planted in wheat at 5.9 million hectares (14.6 million acres), down from 6.2 million hectares forecast in June.
Last week, the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange reduced its estimate of the sown wheat area for the fourth time since the new wheat season began, just two months ago. In May, the Buenos Aires exchange estimated a planted area of 6.6 million hectares, and now it expects 6.2 million hectares.
BCR also adjusted its 2021/22 corn crop estimate to 51 million tonnes from a previous estimate of 49.2 million tonnes. Farmers have hauled in 85% of the area sown with the grain.
Argentina is a major world supplier of wheat and the second-largest exporter of corn.

After winning a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche, Darcy Kuemper signed a 5-year contract with the Washington Capitals for an average annual value of $5.25 million per year.
Kuemper contract with Caps
— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) July 13, 2022
Year 1, $6 M
Year 2, $6 M
Year 3, $6 M
Year 4, $4.5 M
Year 5, $3.75 M
Kuemper had an up and down year with the Avalanche, as he struggled mightily to open the season and raised questions as to whether Colorado GM Joe Sakic overpaid for the talented netminder when he sent first and third-round picks along with defenseman Connor Timmins to the Arizona Coyotes before the 2021-22 season. Kuemper quickly quieted his critics as he settled into the Avalanche system around the new year, and by virtually every metric you can find, he was very clearly a top 10 goalie in the second half of the season.
In the playoffs, Kuemper was not good, as he finished 29th out of 30 playoff goalies in goals saved above expected per Moneypuck.com, but a serious eye injury he sustained early in the first round against Nashville was the main culprit behind his inconsistent play. Coach Jared Bednar said after the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup that Kuemper had to go to the optometrist to retrain his eye each and every day during the playoffs.
During the Stanley Cup playoffs, Bednar says Darcy Kuemper had to go to optometrist 2-3 times a day to "re-train his eye".

Other injuries:
Val - broken foot
Burky - broken foot/thumb
Kadri - broken thump
Girard - broken sternum

Despite this debilitating injury, Kuemper saved his best for last, as he played well in the Stanley Cup Final, particularly in the pivotal Game 4 where he stopped 37 shots and outplayed all-world goaltender Andrei Vasilevsky in an overtime win that proved to be the turning point in the Avalanche’s march to a championship.
Despite the up and down nature of Kuemper’s time in Colorado, his legacy is secure as the starting goaltender on one of the league’s most dominant teams of the 21st century, and Avalanche fans should wish him well on his new journey to help resurrect Washington’s Stanley Cup hopes. | https://www.milehighhockey.com/2022/7/13/23207343/nhl-free-agency-news-darcy-kuemper-signs-a-5-year-deal-with-the-washington-capitals | 2022-07-14T05:27:16Z | https://www.milehighhockey.com/2022/7/13/23207343/nhl-free-agency-news-darcy-kuemper-signs-a-5-year-deal-with-the-washington-capitals | true | 1 |
SEOUL, South Korea >> North Korea has become one of the few nations in the world to recognize the independence of two Russian-backed separatist regions in eastern Ukraine in support of Russia’s war against its neighbor.
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry cut off diplomatic ties with North Korea in response and condemned Pyongyang’s decision as undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
North Korea has repeatedly blamed the United States for the crisis in Ukraine, claiming the West’s “hegemonic policy” justified Russia’s offensive in Ukraine to protect itself.
North Korea’s state media said Thursday that the country’s foreign minister, Choe Sun Hui, sent letters to leaders in the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk a day earlier to convey the North’s decision to recognize their independence and its willingness to develop diplomatic relations with both.
Donetsk separatist leader Denis Pushilin acknowledged North Korea’s decision Wednesday.
Luhansk and Donetsk together make up the Donbas region, a mostly Russian-speaking region of steel factories, mines and other industries in Ukraine’s east. Separatists have controlled parts of both provinces since 2014, but Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized their independence only shortly before the invasion began in February. Syria has since recognized their independence as well.
Ukrainian Foreign Minster Dmytro Kuleba said Russia’s appeal to North Korea for support shows Moscow has “no more allies in the world, except for countries that depend on it financially and politically.” Ukraine had already suspended its political and economic contacts with North Korea because of international sanctions imposed on the North over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program.
“The level of isolation of the Russian Federation will soon reach the level of isolation of the DPRK,” Kuleba said in a statement, using the initials of North Korea’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has effectively paralyzed the U.N. Security Council, where Russia is a veto-wielding permanent member, leaving an opening for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to push forward his weapons development as he tries to cement the North’s status as a nuclear power and negotiate a removal of crippling U.S.-led sanctions from a position of strength.
North Korea has test-fired more than 30 missiles in 2022 alone, including its first flight test of an intercontinental ballistic missile in nearly five years. There are also indications the North is restoring tunnels at a nuclear testing site that was last active in 2017 in possible preparations to resume nuclear explosive tests. | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/07/13/breaking-news/north-korea-backs-independence-of-breakaway-regions-in-ukraine-2/ | 2022-07-14T05:27:41Z | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/07/13/breaking-news/north-korea-backs-independence-of-breakaway-regions-in-ukraine-2/ | false | 48 |
ST. IGNACE, Mich. (WJMN) — A woman has been arrested in the death of a baby found in a vault toilet at a campground in 1997, the Mackinac County Sheriff’s Office says.
Authorities say the woman, formerly of Garnet, Michigan, was arrested in Wyoming Tuesday and is awaiting extradition back to Michigan, where she will be charged with homicide-open murder.
The investigation began in 1997 when the Mackinac County Sheriff’s Office and Michigan State Police found the remains of an unidentified baby in a vault toilet at the Garnet Lake Campground in Hudson Township. They called the child Baby Garnet, but the baby was never identified and the case went cold.
In the summer of 2017, investigators turned back to the case. They ultimately turned to forensic genealogy — searching public DNA databases — to find relatives of Baby Garnet. They said a genealogist provided them with the mother’s name.
Investigators say the 58-year-old woman confirmed she was the mother of the child and made “additional statements” that led them to arrest her.
It’s not yet known when the woman will be extradited back to Michigan. Her name was not released pending arraignment. | https://www.kget.com/news/arrest-made-in-1997-death-of-baby-found-in-michigan-campground-toilet/ | 2022-07-14T05:31:48Z | https://www.kget.com/news/arrest-made-in-1997-death-of-baby-found-in-michigan-campground-toilet/ | true | 21 |

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Hanser Alberto hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers climbed out of a huge hole in a 7-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.
Los Angeles, which has won eight of nine, charged back from a 6-0 deficit with seven runs over the final three innings. The late rally took unbeaten All-Star Tony Gonsolin off the hook for his first loss of the season after an ineffective start.
Mookie Betts had an RBI double in the eighth and Trea Turner's two-run single cut it to 6-5. Max Muncy tied it in the ninth with a sacrifice fly.
"We don't feel like we're ever out of it, doesn't matter what the score is,” Muncy said. “We know who we are. We know what we've been doing. You've just got to find a way to stay in the game even when it seems like it's really bad. We're really good at doing that.”
The Dodgers were shut out on four hits over the first six innings.
"Doesn't matter how it looks, we just keep on going," Turner said. “The way you win is always fun, too. (This) was a little bit more enjoyable in the clubhouse. I just feel like the vibes are up.”
Los Angeles got its NL-leading 26th come-from-behind win. This marked its largest comeback of the year.
“I kind of sound redundant when I say it's the biggest win of the year,” manager Dave Roberts said. “But it was a big one.”
Will Smith started the rally with a two-run homer in the seventh. Freddie Freeman went 3 for 3 for the Dodgers and has 12 hits in his last 14 at-bats.
Nolan Arenado hit a two-run homer and Paul Goldschmidt had a two-run single early for St. Louis, which had won three straight.
Alberto, who entered in the eighth, singled to left field off reliever Giovanny Gallegos (2-4) to score Cody Bellinger from third base.
Justin Turner doubled and Bellinger singled to start the ninth.
Craig Kimbrel (3-4) got the win with a scoreless inning of relief. Evan Phillips earned his second major league save and first this season.
The Cardinals got to Gonsolin quickly.
The right-hander, who carried an 11-0 record and a major league-best 1.62 ERA into the game, gave up five earned runs and seven hits over five innings. He had not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his previous 16 starts this season.
“I thought my slider was really bad,” Gonsolin said. “I didn't do a good job executing pitches with two strikes. They jumped on some mistakes early.”
Arenado capped a four-run uprising in the third with his 18th homer. Goldschmidt, the previous hitter, broke a scoreless tie with his two-run single.
St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright allowed four hits over 5 1/3 scoreless innings. He struck out five and walked four in a 114-pitch stint. The 40-year-old right-hander, the fourth-oldest player in the majors, has worked five innings or more in 16 of 18 starts this season. He left with a 5-0 lead.
Lars Nootbaar and Andrew Knizner had run-scoring hits for St. Louis.
“To put five on (Gonsolin) was great,” manager Oliver Marmol said. “You just can't give up seven from the seventh inning on.”
THE MACHINE ROLLS ON
St. Louis DH/1B Albert Pujols will appear in his fifth All-Star Home Run Derby next Monday in Los Angeles. At age 42, the slugger will become the oldest participant, surpassing Barry Bonds and Rafael Palmeiro, who both competed in 2004 at age 39.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cardinals: INF Brendan Donovan missed his fifth successive start with a non-COVID-19 illness. He grounded out as a pinch-hitter in the ninth. ... OF Tyler O’Neill is likely to return in the next few days. He has been out since June 20 with a knee strain and sore wrist.
UP AND DOWN
The Cardinals activated RHP Drew VerHagen from the 15-day injured list. LHP Matthew Liberatore was optioned to Triple-A Memphis. Liberatore allowed three runs and four hits over 2 1/3 innings of a 7-6 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.
UP NEXT
Los Angeles LHP Tyler Anderson (9-1, 3.15 ERA) will face RHP Dakota Hudson (6-5, 4.00) in the finale of the three-game series Thursday. Anderson, who has already set a career high for wins, is 0-2 with a 7.90 ERA against St. Louis. Hudson tossed six scoreless innings in a 1-0 loss to Philadelphia on Saturday.

All Blacks coach Foster fends off pressure ahead of Ireland series decider
Issued on: Modified:
Wellington (AFP) – Ian Foster has downplayed the pressure mounting on him as New Zealand coach, saying on Thursday that all his focus is on beating an outstanding Ireland in the series-deciding third Test.
Foster announced four personnel changes and two positional switches to his starting team for Saturday's Test in Wellington, while also freshening up his replacements bench with three new faces, including uncapped former rugby league international Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
Veteran lock Sam Whitelock is a key figure returning to the pack after missing the second Test with concussion symptoms.
Prop Nepo Laulala and exciting Canterbury Crusaders backs Will Jordan and David Havili are the other recalled players to the starting side beaten 23-12 in last week's second Test in Dunedin.
The tourists have made just one injury-enforced starting change to the team who notched a first Ireland win over the All Blacks on New Zealand soil, with Bundee Aki restored at inside centre.
He replaces the injured Garry Ringrose, with Robbie Henshaw moving out one place in the midfield.
Captain Johnny Sexton was cleared to start at fly-half after shaking off a knee niggle that forced him off late in Dunedin while influential flanker Peter O'Mahony successfully completed his head assessment protocols after taking a knock during the second Test.
- 'A lot of reflection'-
Victory for Ireland would provide more ammunition for critics of Foster, whose record since succeeding Steve Hansen in 2020 has been modest by New Zealand standards and has prompted a growing call that he be replaced before next year's World Cup.
Foster said he was aware of the public sentiment, saying "you certainly get used to it", before diverting attention to the task at hand.
He said there had been a deep period of introspection since what he described as an "unacceptable" performance in Dunedin and believed his players would be primed to counter the compelling strength of the tourists.
"Internally, there's a lot of reflection in what we're doing," he said.
"Then you get into gear and start really nailing the next week. So that's where I'm at, I can't wait.
"Everyone is learning that this is a high quality team we're playing against, it's a great examination for us. We have to show that we're smart and we're learning as well.
"This is where you want to be in terms of the excitement."
Jordan starts on the right wing, forcing Sevu Reece to the left wing, where Leicester Fainga'anuku has been dropped.
A scorer of 18 tries in 14 Tests, Jordan notched another with a late consolation off the bench in Dunedin, having missed the first Test with Covid-19.
Canterbury Crusaders teammate Havili has also overcome Covid and is a straight swap for Quinn Tupaea at inside centre.
Only one change has been forced on Foster, with 40-Test tighthead prop Laulala replacing the suspended Angus Ta'avao, who was sent off for a high tackle in Dunedin which inflicted the tour-ending head injury on Ringrose.
Laulala missed the first two Tests while nursing a neck complaint and his starting recall means Ofa Tu'ungafasi drops to the bench.
Evergreen lock Whitelock will play his 134th Test after recovering from concussion symptoms that sidelined him from the second Test.
It pushes Scott Barrett back to flanker, where he shone in the 42-19 first Test win in Auckland.
Ireland coach Andy Farrell said he expected the All Blacks to be desperate but also anticipated his team will be improved, having had three weeks on tour to lift their game.
"I think the best part of where we're at is that we know we can do better," Farrell said.
"What we've done pretty well over the last period of time is have a clear understanding of what our game is all about, and it becomes more clear and obvious, the more we push on together.
"Albeit we had a decent result in the last Test, hopefully our best is saved to last."
New Zealand (15-1): Jordie Barrett; Will Jordan, Rieko Ioane, David Havili, Sevu Reece; Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith; Ardie Savea, Sam Cane (capt), Scott Barrett; Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick; Nepo Laulala, Codie Taylor, George Bower.
Replacements: Dane Coles, Aidan Ross, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Akira Ioane, Dalton Papalii, Folau Fakatava, Richie Mo'unga, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
Ireland (15-1): Hugo Keenan; Mack Hansen, Robbie Henshaw, Bundee Aki, James Lowe; Johnny Sexton (capt), Jamison Gibson-Park; Caelan Doris, Josh van der Flier, Peter O'Mahony; James Ryan, Tadhg Beirne; Tadhg Furlong, Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter.

SEATTLE (AP) — A 48-year-old Seattle man arrested Saturday on suspicion of committing a hate crime against U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal was released from jail Wednesday.
King County prosecutors said Seattle police released him because they couldn’t say with certainty that he told the congresswoman to go back to India or that he threatened to kill her, The Seattle Times reported.
Court records show Seattle police on Wednesday obtained a temporary Extreme Risk Protection Order to require the man to surrender his firearms and concealed pistol license, citing concerns about escalating behavior toward Jayapal and increasing mental health struggles.
The investigation is ongoing. Prosecutors have not declined to file a criminal case but don’t currently have evidence to prove a hate crime was committed, said Casey McNerthney, a spokesperson for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors have 72 hours, not including holidays and weekends, to file criminal charges against a person in custody. If charges are not filed by then, the person must be released from jail.
“In a time of increased political violence, security concerns against any elected official should be taken seriously, as we are doing here,” McNerthney wrote in an email Wednesday. “The investigation is ongoing and our office is working with police investigators to make sure we understand the full extent of the suspect’s actions to build the strongest case possible."
In 2016, Jayapal became the first Indian American woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. The Democrat heads the Congressional Progressive Caucus. A spokesperson for Jayapal didn’t immediately respond to an email from The Seattle Times requesting comment Wednesday.
Seattle police arrested the man outside Jayapal’s house in the Arbor Heights neighborhood at 11:25 p.m. Saturday after she called 911 and reported an unknown person or people were in a vehicle using obscene language, according to the probable cause statement. She told a dispatcher her husband thought someone may have fired a pellet gun, the statement said.
Officers found the man standing in the the street with his hands in the air and a handgun holstered on his waist, the probable cause statement said.
A neighbor told police she heard the man yell something to the effect of, “Go back to India. I’m going to kill you,” the statement said. The neighbor also saw and heard the man drive by Jayapal’s residence at least three times, yelling profanities, according to the statement.
A detective met with Jayapal’s husband, who provided video clips from their home-security system, according to the protection order petition. In one clip, the last part of the word “India” can be heard, followed by an expletive-laced rant directed at Jayapal, the petition said. In another clip, the man can be seen approaching the house while yelling profanities about being Jayapal’s neighbor, followed by the sound of metal.
The detective couldn't be sure if the sound was from a handgun being racked or metal tent poles as the man tried to put up a tent on Jayapal’s property, the petition said.
Police learned the man sent an email to Jayapal’s public account in January, saying he didn’t like her because of her “perceived political wrongdoings,” the petition said. He has also driven by her house and shouted obscenities at her multiple times since late June, according to the petition.
The petition notes the man told officers he wanted to purchase an assault-style rifle for protection but denied saying anything about Jayapal’s ethnicity or threatening to kill her.
The man’s mother told police her son recently hadn’t been eating or sleeping and struggling with pain from a workplace injury and with managing his mental health, according to the petition. She told police it was not a good idea for her son to have access to guns.
Within 14 days of a temporary protection order being issued, a full hearing is held before a judge during which a respondent can challenge it. The judge then decides whether to deny or grant a permanent order, which bars the respondent from owning or buying firearms for one year. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Man-accused-in-threats-to-kill-Rep-Pramila-17304049.php | 2022-07-14T05:52:30Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Man-accused-in-threats-to-kill-Rep-Pramila-17304049.php | false | 21 |
SPC Nickel drills 0.84% NiEq over 16.5 metres at Lockerby East, Ontario
SPC Nickel Corp. [SPC-TSXV; SPCNF-OTC] reported assay results from a further four out of 18 diamond drill holes from the completed 2022 drill program at its 100%-owned Lockerby East project located in Sudbury, Ontario.
The Lockerby East Project hosts both the past producing Lockerby East Mine and the unmined, near-surface West Graham Nickel-Copper sulphide deposit that contains over 47,000 tonnes of nickel and 34,000 tonnes of copper in indicated and inferred historical resources. The company previously announced the commencement of a 14 hole, 4,200 metre drill program designed to further evaluate and expand the extents of the higher-grade Ni-Cu zone hosted within the larger West Graham deposit.
As a result of better than estimated drilling rates, an additional 990 metres in four holes were added to the program resulting in a total of 5,200 metres in 18 holes being completed. Results from WG-22-001, were previously released and reported 38.0 metres grading 0.75% nickel equivalent (NiEq).
Highlights include Hole WG-22-003 that intersected a broad zone of Ni-Cu mineralization over 76.0 metres grading 0.54% NiEq from 82.0 to 158.0 metres, including a higher-grade zone of 0.84% NiEq over 16.5 metres.
Hole WG-22-002 intersected a broad zone of Ni-Cu mineralization over 42.0 metres grading 0.48% NiEq from 79.0 to 121.0 metres, including a higher-grade zone of 0.80% NiEq over 16.0 metres. Assay results from the remaining 13 holes are expected to be released over the upcoming months as the results become available.
Grant Mourre, CEO and President, commented, “We continue to be pleased with our drilling on the West Graham section of the Lockerby East Project. These new results combined with previously announced results from hole WG-22-001, further confirm the presence of multiple higher-grade zones and demonstrate the potential for West Graham to be a significant nickel asset for SPC in an already established nickel camp.”
The company considers the West Graham and Lockerby East resource estimates to be historic mineral resources for purposes of NI 43-101. The company considers the historic mineral resource estimates to be relevant to an understanding of the West Graham Project but has not done any work to validate the estimates.
The Lockerby East Project hosts both the historic West Graham and Lockerby East deposits. In 2009, First Nickel Inc. disclosed a historical resource estimate1 of 8.55Mt of 0.45% Ni and 0.31% Cu (indicated) and 2.0Mt of 0.38% Ni and 0.30% Cu (inferred) for the West Graham deposit. These grades have economic potential in the context of the Sudbury Mining Camp, as the deposit is located very near to surface and may be amenable to low-cost open pit mining.
The deposit is characterized by a broad zone of disseminated to semi-massive sulphide that ranges from 1.7 to 66 metres thick and strikes for 375 metres with a dip extent of up to 533 metres. Within the larger resource, a distinct zone of higher-grade mineralization grading ~1% NiEq. is present. As an example, drill hole WG-26 intersected a broad zone of mineralization grading 0.73% Ni, 0.28% Cu over 71.33 metres1 (from 56.69 metres) including a higher-grade section that returned 1.09% Ni, 0.41% Cu over 39.47 metres1. At depth, the West Graham deposit is interpreted to be contiguous with the high-grade Lockerby East deposit where, historic resources of 0.22 Mt @ 2.43% Ni and 0.78% Cu2 (indicated + inferred) are hosted.
SPC Nickel also holds an option to acquire 100% interest in the Janes Project located approximately 50 km northeast of Sudbury. In addition, the company recently acquired over 45,000 hectares covering a considerable proportion of the high prospective Muskox Intrusion, located in Nunavut. | https://resourceworld.com/spc-nickel-drills-0-84-nieq-over-16-5-metres-at-lockerby-east-ontario/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=spc-nickel-drills-0-84-nieq-over-16-5-metres-at-lockerby-east-ontario | 2022-07-14T05:55:27Z | https://resourceworld.com/spc-nickel-drills-0-84-nieq-over-16-5-metres-at-lockerby-east-ontario/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=spc-nickel-drills-0-84-nieq-over-16-5-metres-at-lockerby-east-ontario | true | 1 |
STOCKHOLM, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
Second quarter highlights
- Group organic sales grew by 5% YoY driven primarily by Networks in North America and Europe. Reported sales were SEK 62.5 (54.9) b.
- Reported gross income increased to SEK 26.3 (23.9) b. driven by higher sales. Gross margin was 42.1% (43.4%) impacted by lower IPR revenues of SEK 0.9 b YoY and supply chain cost, partly offset by timing of software sales in a large contract and underlying improvements.
- Reported EBIT amounted to SEK 7.3 (5.8) b. as a result of higher sales and higher gross income. EBIT margin was 11.7% (10.6%).
- Reported EBITA amounted to SEK 7.5 (6.1) b. with an EBITA margin of 12.0% (11.1%). EBITA margin rolling four quarters was 14%.
- Networks reported EBIT margin was 19.2% (21.7%) impacted by lower IPR revenues, increased component and logistics costs, and proactive investments in supply chain resilience, partly offset by timing of software sales in a large contract.
- Reported net income was SEK 4.7 (3.9) b.
- Free cash flow before M&A was SEK 4.4 (4.1) b. Net cash on June 30, 2022, was SEK 70.3 b. compared with SEK 43.7 b. on June 30, 2021.

Comments from Börje Ekholm, President and CEO of Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC)
Strong business momentum continued during the second quarter. Rollout of 5G networks and market share gains resulted in a 5% organic sales[1] growth in the quarter. We have adjusted our group structure to strengthen execution of our strategy to be a leading mobile infrastructure provider and to establish a focused enterprise business. Consumers, enterprises, and society will be digitalized through 5G in a way we have not seen before. With our strategy, we are in a position to capture these opportunities to enable further growth.
Technology leadership is a foundation for our growth strategy. Since 2017, our increased R&D investments have created significant value. The geopolitical situation has also required proactive investments to de-risk our supply chain and ensure that we can deliver on our strategy to gain footprint. The global supply chain situation remains challenging and inflationary pressures are strong. Combined, this results in cost increases which we work hard to mitigate as far as possible. As contracts expire, we aim to adjust pricing. However, we believe the best way to compensate for cost increases is the continued investment in technology to increase the cadence of bringing new innovative solutions to the market.
Fulfilling customer commitments under current challenging conditions, comes at a cost which dilutes gross margin. The increased costs have been largely absorbed through our investments in innovation and continuous improvements. Increased sales resulted in a gross income improvement in absolute terms of SEK 2.4 b. compared with Q2 last year, despite lower IPR revenues of SEK 0.9 b. YoY.
While 5G is the fastest scaling mobile technology, global penetration is still in an early phase. We foresee that the global 5G build-out will be larger and continue for longer than previous mobile generations. The build-out will include evolving consumer use cases, such as Fixed Wireless Access, mobile gaming and XR applications, in addition to new areas, such as enterprise and first responders.
Networks sales[1] grew organically by 6% in Q2 underpinned by market share gains. Gross margin was 45.1% (47.9%), impacted by lower IPR revenues, increased component and logistics costs, and proactive investments in supply chain resilience, which enabled continued delivery performance in the quarter. We continue to invest in enhancing and expanding our offerings, and we increased R&D in the quarter primarily for Cloud RAN and acceleration of the next-generation Ericsson Silicon (ASICs).
Digital Services sales[1] grew organically by 2% YoY with strong growth in cloud native 5G Core, and an EBIT of SEK -1.3 (-1.6) b. The accelerated 5G Core projects with initial deployment costs partly offset the margin improvement from increased software sales.
Managed Services sales[1] were flat YoY with an EBIT margin of 11.2% (8.1%). With a 4Q rolling EBIT margin[2] of 9.5%, we achieved our 2022 target two quarters ahead of plan.
The new group structure, to be reported from Q3, positions us well to execute on our strategy. Segment Cloud Software and Services is formed by merging Digital Services and Managed Services to create stronger customer propositions as our customers are moving towards 5G using cloud technologies and intelligent automation. The Digital Services business will leverage our technology leadership to accelerate customers' transformation to cloud native networks. We are committed to turning around the business in support of the Group reaching the long-term targets.
Segment Enterprise includes Enterprise Wireless Solutions, combining Cradlepoint with Dedicated Networks to capture the growing needs for enterprise solutions. The Enterprise segment will also include the Global Network Platform, which we believe will create a paradigm shift in the industry as the full capabilities of the network will be exposed to the global developer communities and enterprises. This will inspire innovation with new opportunities for the operators to monetize network investments. The intended acquisition of Vonage is an important building block, and we are working to secure approval and close the transaction before end of July. The third element of the Enterprise segment is Technologies & New Businesses, previously within segment Emerging Business and Other.
IPR licensing revenues were affected by several expiring patent license agreements pending renewal and by 5G license negotiations in the quarter. We are confident in our strong 5G position and leading patent portfolio, positioning us well to conclude pending and future license renewals. With current contracts, revenues from IPR are estimated to be SEK 1.0–1.5 b. in Q3.
To secure deliveries we have pro-actively increased our buffer inventories. Additionally, unpredictable deliveries of components and site material led to increased inventory levels across our business. We were, however, able to partly offset the inventory increases with other working capital improvements, thereby delivering an improved free cash flow before M&A amounting to SEK 4.4 (4.1) b. Based on current visibility, we expect a gradual reduction in inventory towards the end of the year.
We continue to strengthen our governance, risk management, and compliance across the group and are fully committed to operating with integrity. We continue to engage with the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission in relation to the 2019 Iraq investigation report and the DPA breach notices. The outcome of these matters cannot be assessed at this point in time. We are fully committed to cooperating with the US authorities.
Our strategy targets a higher growth trajectory as we aim to grow our core mobile infrastructure business and capitalize on the fast-growing enterprise market. With 5G, the world is experiencing the largest innovation platform to date, where anything that can go wireless, will go wireless. Ericsson is at the epicenter of this powerful trend, and we will continue to invest in technology leadership to ensure we capitalize on this position. EBITA margin[2] rolling four quarters was 14% and we remain determined to reach our long-term target of an EBITA margin[2] of 15–18% no later than in 2–3 years.

Bite taken out of Bega Cheese shares as milk price rise forces profit downgrade
By Jessica Yun
Bega Cheese has warned investors it expects profits to fall next year due to a surge in milk prices, triggering an 9 per cent slide in its share price to nine year lows.
The owner of the Bega cheese label and Vegemite brand, which expects to report a profit of between $175 million and $190 million for the 2022 financial year, said it now believes earnings for the current financial year fall will in the range of $160 million to 190 million.
In a trading update issued Wednesday evening, the company said it had anticipated farmgate milk prices to rise between 15-20 per cent, depending on global dairy commodity markets.
“However ... there has been particularly strong competition amongst milk processors during June and July,” the trading update stated. Farmgate prices in Victoria have turned out to be to 30 per cent higher than 2022 levels.
These price rises have been passed onto retailers and felt by consumers, the company acknowledged.
“The farm gate price increase will benefit farmer suppliers, impact all Australian dairy companies, and is already being reflected in higher product prices in the retail and food service market,” it said.
“Bega Cheese expects that the company’s [2023 financial year] performance will be impacted by the delay in timing of some of these higher product prices and the finalisation of secured milk volumes in July.”
Investment firm Bell Potter, which has a ‘hold’ recommendation on Bega, reduced its long-term target price on the stock from $4.20 to $3.80 due to the “ongoing dislocation in farmgate pricing and ingredient pricing”.
“There has been further upward inflation in farmgate milk prices,” wrote analyst Jonathan Snape in a note following Bega’s trade update.
“Given the substantial escalation in recent months, we have also moved to incorporate further pricing gains in the branded portfolio (reflective of cost pressures that retailers are likely to face in direct supply).”
The ASX-listed company’s trading update comes as supermarket giant Coles and Woolworths both confirmed they were increasing retail prices for milk by as much as 60 cents after having to pay more to farmers.
“Across the dairy cabinet, brands have already increased their retail prices to reflect higher wholesale costs across the entire industry,” said a Woolworths spokesperson. “We’ll be adjusting the price of our own Woolworths brand milk in the coming days to reflect these higher costs as well.”
In afternoon trading, Bega shares were 9 per cent lower at $3.24, their lowest level since 2013.

Delta 2023: Ex-minister, Orubebe Named DG, Omo-Agege Gubernatorial Campaign
•We’re poised to chase PDP from Govt House, says APC candidate
Omon-Julius Onabu
Former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs under the President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Godsday Orubebe has been named the Director-General, Delta State of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Gubernatorial Campaign Organisation.
The Deputy President of the Senate and Delta APC Governorship Candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, unveiled the former minister, the Director, Communications and Media Strategy, Delta APC Gubernatorial Campaign Organisation, Mr. Ima Niboro, in a statement yesterday.
Orubebe had about three weeks ago announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), after initial denial of his intention to dump the main opposition party for the ruling party.
His congratulatory message to the former Lagos State governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his emergence as the 2023 APC Presidential Candidate, shortly after defecting, heralded the Ijaw politician’s arrival at his new party in June.
However, the statement quoted Omo-Agege to have said: “Orubebe is bringing on board a towering wealth of experience, and shall oversee all ramifications of the campaign for the mandate of Deltans in the 2023 governorship elections.
“Orubebe shall, side by side with me, lead critical engagements and drive consultations, and by his renowned robustness, up the ante for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Together with the rest of the team, we shall show PDP the way out of Government House come May 29, 2023.”
While expressing confidence that his appointment would strengthen the state APC campaign organisation, Omo-Agege noted that, “when news of Elder Godsday Orubebe’s resignation from the PDP filtered in, June, our campaign organisation applauded him for toeing the path of progress and enjoined him to pitch tent with progressives in the APC, and help in the task of taking over Government House come 2023.
“He will be bringing to our campaign organisation his vast reach at the grassroots, as well as at the state and federal levels, having been a supervisory councillor and chairman of Burutu Local Government Area, a state party chairman, and a two-time minister of the federal republic.”
The statement further said that, “Orubebe was born June 6th, 1959 at Ogbobagbene in Burutu Local Government Area in Delta State. He attended the University of Lagos, where he earned a B.Sc. in Political Science in 1985. He later attended Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, where he obtained a master’s degree in International Relations.
“Orubebe was supervisory councilor and later chairman of Burutu LGA. In July 2007, President Umru Musa Yar’adua appointed him Minister of Special Duties. He was later to become Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs when the ministry was created in December 2008.
“When he eventually became full-fledged minister of that ministry, one of his key achievements was to drive the construction of the East/West Highway in a rapid fast track. Under his watch, the ministry constructed 38 out of 42 bridges, and over 900 culverts of the 1000 designed for the road.
“Orubebe was also at the forefront of negotiating peace with Niger Delta militant groups, which had brought crude oil production in Nigeria down to less than 400,000 barrels a day from over 2.5 million barrels, in protest of perceived social, economic and environmental injustice in the region.
“Working with then Vice-President, and later President Goodluck Jonathan, he shares the credit of instituting the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme, which successfully won the hearts and minds of most Niger Deltans and brought peace to the region.” | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/07/14/delta-2023-ex-minister-orubebe-named-dg-omo-agege-gubernatorial-campaign/ | 2022-07-14T06:26:12Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/07/14/delta-2023-ex-minister-orubebe-named-dg-omo-agege-gubernatorial-campaign/ | false | 4 |
First and only investigational Phase 3 trial to show positive results in these young children; results follow recent approval of Dupixent in people with eosinophilic esophagitis aged 12 years and older who weigh at least 40 kilograms
Trial met its primary endpoint, with 68% of patients on higher dose Dupixent and 58% on lower dose Dupixent achieving histological disease remission at 16 weeks
Fifth pediatric pivotal trial across three type 2 inflammatory diseases to reinforce the well-established efficacy and safety profile of Dupixent
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and PARIS, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today announced that a Phase 3 trial assessing the investigational use of Dupixent® (dupilumab) in children aged 1 to 11 years with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) met its primary endpoint of histological disease remission at 16 weeks with both higher and lower dose weight-tiered regimens. There are no approved treatments for children with EoE under 12 years of age.
"Dupixent is the first medicine to alleviate key signs of eosinophilic esophagitis in children as young as 1 year of age in a Phase 3 trial. The efficacy of Dupixent demonstrates that in this age group, as in adults, IL-4 and IL-13 are key drivers of the type 2 inflammation underlying this debilitating disease," said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer at Regeneron, and a principal inventor of Dupixent. "Eosinophilic esophagitis can turn the basic and life-sustaining act of eating into a painful experience at a point in children's lives when proper nutrition and achieving a healthy weight is critical to ensuring they grow and thrive. The positive results from this Phase 3 pediatric trial show Dupixent has the potential to improve signs of eosinophilic esophagitis and support healthy weight gain in children from their first birthday."
EoE is a chronic inflammatory disease that damages the esophagus and prevents it from working properly. The results seen with Dupixent in adults and children with EoE demonstrate that IL-4 and IL-13 are key drivers of the type 2 inflammation underlying this disease. In children, common symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis include acid reflux, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, trouble swallowing, and a failure to thrive. These symptoms can impact growth and development, and can cause food-related fear and anxiety which can persist through adulthood. Diet adjustments, which oftentimes include the elimination of many foods, is the standard treatment for EoE, as well as the use of treatments not approved for the disease. These include proton pump inhibitors, swallowed topical corticosteroids, or in severe cases, a feeding tube, which may be used to ensure proper caloric intake and weight gain. Of the approximately 21,000 children under the age of 12 in the U.S. currently being treated for EoE, about 9,000 do not satisfactorily respond to the unapproved therapies they have been treated with and potentially require advanced therapy.
"We are incredibly excited to share results from this Phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating Dupixent in young children suffering from eosinophilic esophagitis – the first ever to show positive results across a variety of primary and secondary endpoints. The lack of treatment options for children living with eosinophilic esophagitis leaves many caregivers with the stress and burden of adapting their child's meals and their entire family's daily schedules to ensure healthy growth and development. In some cases, they must resort to off-label use of poorly studied treatments like steroids that can pose serious health risks when used long term," said Naimish Patel, M.D., Senior Vice President, Head of Global Development, Immunology and Inflammation at Sanofi. "The faster and larger than anticipated enrollment in this trial further emphasizes the unmet treatment needs for children with EoE and underscores the significance of these first-ever positive results."
In the Phase 3 trial, 102 children aged 1 to 11 were randomized to receive Dupixent, in either a higher dose (n=37) or lower dose (n=31) regimen based on body weight, or placebo (n=34). At 16 weeks, 68% of children on higher dose and 58% of patients on lower dose Dupixent achieved the primary endpoint of significant histological disease remission (peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤6 eosinophils [eos]/high power field [hpf]) compared to 3% of children on placebo (p<0.0001 for both). Additionally, children receiving higher dose Dupixent experienced the following changes at week 16:
- 86% reduction in peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count from baseline compared to a 21% increase for placebo (p<0.0001).
- 0.88 and 0.84 reduction from baseline in disease severity and extent, respectively, as measured at the microscopic level in biopsy specimens compared to a 0.02 and 0.05 increase for placebo (both p<0.0001).
- 3.5-point reduction in abnormal endoscopic findings from baseline compared to a 0.3-point increase for placebo (p<0.0001).
- A numerical improvement in the proportion of days children experienced symptoms of EoE from baseline, as reported by caregivers (Pediatric EOE signs/symptoms questionnaire [PESQ-C]), compared to placebo, though not statistically significant. The PESQ-C is a novel endpoint developed by Regeneron and Sanofi used for the first time in this trial, designed to assess symptoms in young children through their caregivers (as signs), as children may have difficulty verbalizing their symptoms themselves.
- As part of a prespecified exploratory analysis, a 3.09 percentile increase in body weight for age percentile from baseline compared to 0.29 for placebo.
Histological, anatomic and cellular secondary endpoints were also analyzed for the lower dose group, with all being nominally significant and generally comparable with the higher dose. More detailed results will be shared at an upcoming medical meeting, including additional data for the endpoints in the lower dose group.
Safety results were generally consistent with the known safety profile of Dupixent in its approved EoE indication for children and adults aged 12 years and older who weigh at least 40 kg. For the 16-week treatment period, overall rates of adverse events (AEs) were 79% for Dupixent and 91% for placebo. AEs more commonly (≥5%) observed with Dupixent compared to placebo included COVID-19 (21% Dupixent, 0% placebo; all cases were mild or moderate and did not lead to study discontinuation), rash (9% Dupixent, 6% placebo), headache (8% Dupixent, 3% placebo), viral gastroenteritis (6% Dupixent, 3% placebo), diarrhea (6% Dupixent, 3% placebo) and nausea (6% Dupixent, 0% placebo). Rates of treatment discontinuation due to AEs prior to week 16 were 0% for Dupixent and 6% for placebo.
In May 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Dupixent 300 mg weekly to treat patients with EoE aged 12 years and older and weighing at least 40 kg after granting the medicine Priority Review.
The potential use of Dupixent in children with EoE aged 1 to 11 years is currently under clinical development, and the safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority. These data will be discussed with regulatory authorities around the world, starting with the U.S. later this year.
About the Dupixent Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis Trial
The Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Dupixent in young children aged 1 to 11 years with EoE, as determined by histological and patient- or caregiver-reported measures. At baseline, 98% of these patients had at least one co-existing type 2 inflammatory disease such as food allergy, allergic rhinitis, asthma and atopic dermatitis.
Patients received Dupixent subcutaneously at either a higher dose or lower dose regimen based on their weight (ranging from ≥5 kg to <60 kg) over a 16-week period, at which point all endpoints were assessed. The dosing frequency ranged between every two weeks and every four weeks, based on weight.
The primary endpoint was histological disease remission. Secondary endpoints included histopathologic measures of the severity and extent of tissue scarring in the esophagus (EoE-HSS grade and stage scores, which measure changes in eight cellular and tissue features on 0-3 scales, respectively), and abnormal endoscopic findings (EoE Endoscopic Reference Score [EoE-EREFS] on a 0-18 scale), as well as changes in caregiver-reported symptoms (proportion of days with 1 or more EoE signs [e.g. stomach pain, vomiting, food refusal] by the Pediatric EoE Sign/Symptom Questionnaire-caregiver version [PESQ-C]). An exploratory endpoint assessed change from baseline in body weight for age percentile.
The trial is ongoing with a 36-week extended active treatment period to evaluate long-term outcomes.
About Dupixent
Dupixent, which was invented using Regeneron's proprietary VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases. These diseases include approved indications for Dupixent such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and EoE, as well as investigational diseases such as prurigo nodularis.
Dupixent has received regulatory approvals around the world for use in certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, CRSwNP or EoE in different age populations. Dupixent is currently approved across these indications in the U.S. and for one or more of these indications in more than 60 countries, including in the European Union and Japan. More than 400,000 patients have been treated with Dupixent globally.
About Regeneron's VelocImmune Technology
Regeneron's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron's co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite® technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create approximately one in five of all original, FDA-approved fully human monoclonal antibodies currently available. This includes REGEN-COV® (casirivimab and imdevimab), Dupixent, Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb) and Inmazeb™ (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn).
Dupilumab Development Program
Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation.
In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including prurigo nodularis, pediatric EoE, hand and foot atopic dermatitis, chronic inducible urticaria-cold, chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic pruritis of unknown origin, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with evidence of type 2 inflammation, chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and bullous pemphigoid. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
U.S. Indications
DUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used:

Especially tell your healthcare provider if you are taking oral, topical, or inhaled corticosteroid medicines; have asthma and use an asthma medicine; or have atopic dermatitis, CRSwNP, or EoE, and also have asthma. Do not change or stop your corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine without talking to your healthcare provider. This may cause other symptoms that were controlled by the corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine to come back.
DUPIXENT can cause serious side effects, including:
- Allergic reactions. DUPIXENT can cause allergic reactions that can sometimes be severe. Stop using DUPIXENT and tell your healthcare provider or get emergency help right away if you get any of the following signs or symptoms: breathing problems or wheezing, swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue or throat, fainting, dizziness, feeling lightheaded, fast pulse, fever, hives, joint pain, general ill feeling, itching, skin rash, swollen lymph nodes, nausea or vomiting, or cramps in your stomach-area.
- Eye problems. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any new or worsening eye problems, including eye pain or changes in vision, such as blurred vision. Your healthcare provider may send you to an ophthalmologist for an exam if needed.
- Inflammation of your blood vessels. Rarely, this can happen in people with asthma who receive DUPIXENT. This may happen in people who also take a steroid medicine by mouth that is being stopped or the dose is being lowered. It is not known whether this is caused by DUPIXENT. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have: rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, a feeling of pins and needles or numbness of your arms or legs, or persistent fever.
- Joint aches and pain. Some people who use DUPIXENT have had trouble walking or moving due to their joint symptoms, and in some cases needed to be hospitalized. Tell your healthcare provider about any new or worsening joint symptoms. Your healthcare provider may stop DUPIXENT if you develop joint symptoms.
The most common side effects include:
- Atopic dermatitis: injection site reactions, eye and eyelid inflammation, including redness, swelling, and itching, sometimes with blurred vision, cold sores in your mouth or on your lips, and high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia).
- Asthma: injection site reactions, pain in the throat (oropharyngeal pain), high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia), and parasitic (helminth) infections.
- Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis: injection site reactions, eye and eyelid inflammation, including redness, swelling, and itching, sometimes with blurred vision, high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia), trouble sleeping (insomnia), toothache, gastritis, and joint pain (arthralgia).
- Eosinophilic esophagitis: injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, cold sores in your mouth or on your lips, and joint pain (arthralgia).
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
These are not all the possible side effects of DUPIXENT. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has asked a state court to revive a 100-year-old near-total abortion ban that was blocked by the now-overturned 1973 Supreme Court Roe vs. Wade ruling. File Photo by Pat Benic/UPI |

July 14 (UPI) -- In the wake of the Supreme Court last month overturning Roe vs. Wade, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has asked a state court to reinstate a 121-year-old abortion ban that was put on hold by the landmark ruling.
The law in question was put in place in 1901, making it a crime punishable with imprisonment for between two and five years for providing, supplying or administering "medicine, drugs or substance, or uses or employs any instrument or other means whatever, with intent thereby to procure the miscarriage" of a pregnant person unless it is necessary to save their life.
The rule was the law of the state until it was blocked in 1973 when the Supreme Court made abortions legal with its landmark Roe vs. Wade ruling.
With last month's overturning of the rule by the conservative-leaning high court, Brnovich on Wednesday asked a Pima County judge in a 16-page filing to revive the old law as its halting "was based solely and expressly on decision the U.S. Supreme Court has now overruled."
"We believe this is the best and most accurate state of the law," Brnovich said in a statement. "We know this is an important issue to so many Arizonans, and our hope is that the court will provide clarity and uniformity for our state."
The American Civili Liberties Union of Arizona hit back at the move, stating it is incongruent with the desires of residents whose legislature has passed "dozens" of laws recognizing abortion as legal healthcare since then.
"Asking the courts to reinstate this cruel century-old ban is completely out of touch with the needs of people who can become pregnant and their families," Jennifer Allen, executive director for the ACLU of Arizona, said in a statement. "Forcing people to carry a pregnancy against their will has life-altering, even deadly, consequences."
Brianna Westbrook, a Democratic candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives, warned that if the law is put back in place it will be enforced by police who, when are given new powers to criminalize people, disproportionately target communities of color and low-income individuals.
"We must do everything in our power to protect the right of all people to make their own healthcare decisions," she said in a statement. "We must do everything in our ability to protect communities from police violence."
Brnovich filed the court document weeks after he signaled intention to revive the old law late last month
The filing comes as Republican-led states seek to ban abortions now that federal protections held by Roe vs. Wade are no longer. Many of those attempts have been met with litigation.
Earlier this week, a federal judge temporarily blocked an Arizona law that grants so-called personhood to fetuses, embryos and fertilized eggs on the grounds the legislation is unconstitutionally and "intolerably" vague.

You star Penn Badgley says he ‘always’ gets the same note on his masturbation scenes
‘You’re saying I’m making it creepy? How is it I’m the one making it creepy?’ actor said he tells his director
Penn Badgley, who stars as a stalker in the hit Netflix series You, has revealed that he “always” gets the same note from his director on how to make his masturbation scenes less “creepy”.
In the series, his character Joe Goldberg becomes obsessed with the women he dates, and at numerous points is seen secretly watching them and masturbating.
Speaking on this week’s episode of the Podcrushed podcast, Badgley said: “I’ve now done it so many times on camera. It’s a strange – you don’t think it’s going to be that big of a deal.
“And then you discover in front of a crew of people with a camera on your face, knowing that, in all likelihood, millions of people are going to see this, you’re simulating masturbation.”
He added: “I’ve always gotten the note to make it less creepy. They say like, ‘Close your eyes or go faster or go slower.’ I’m like, ‘What? This man is f***ing murder people, and he’s masturbating in the street. You’re saying I’m making it creepy? How is it I’m the one making it creepy?’”
The actor said that director Lee Toland Krieger told him, “Buddy, I think you gotta close your eyes.”
Badgley said that making it creepy is “the f***ing point”, adding that having a balance of “toxicity… while also trying to be sexy” is the “strange line that we’re always walking on our show”.
The fourth season of You, which will be set in Paris, is expected to land on Netflix early next year.

Couple with service dog turned away at Vermont restaurant
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - A Vermont restaurant owner has apologized after refusing to seat a couple because the wife brought her service dog.
Emma Rose McCadden and her husband went to A Single Pebble to celebrate their anniversary on Saturday, but the Burlington restaurant refused to seat them because of McCadden’s service dog.
McCadden has a heart condition. Her dog is trained to alert her when she may be having a medical emergency.
“She said, ‘We had someone come in once and said it was a service dog. Then, they barked and lunged at the table next to it,’” McCadden told WCAX. “’Now as a policy, we just don’t allow dogs in here.’”
McCadden and her husband went elsewhere. She later uploaded a video of the encounter on TikTok, which quickly garnered close to a million views.
McCadden removed it once people began aiming personal attacks at her and leaving the restaurant false reviews on Yelp and Google.
“I was hoping I could post the video like, ‘What do I do? It wasn’t just me,’” McCadden said. “She [the owner] said it was her policy to deny service animals. I wanted to make sure it didn’t happen to somebody else.”
Since then, the restaurant’s owner posted an apology on Facebook: “I would like to sincerely apologize to Ms. Rose for not allowing her into my restaurant with her service dog. I have also reached out privately to apologize to her directly. I made a mistake and I take full responsibility. I would like to thank those who provided the links to the ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] website regarding service animals, particularly the part that describes how even Vermont’s strict health regulations for restaurants take a back seat to the ADA. I am committed to educating myself and my team going forward so that this regrettable situation never happens here again.”
McCadden is a Ph.D. candidate in autism research and an instructor at the University of Vermont. She says it was important for her to advocate for her service animal since there are many others who can’t or are just uncomfortable doing it.
“I would just invite people to not speculate about someone’s medical conditions. Not all disabilities are visible,” McCadden said.
Kathy Gips from the New England ADA Center said experiences with fake service dogs often lead business owners to be hesitant about allowing them, even though they’re required to by law. The only time businesses can ask a service animal to leave is if they’re not under the control of their handler.
“People don’t know. Is this a real service animal? Does this person have a disability? What am I dealing with here? It’s a mess and has been since day one,” Gips said.
In addition to that, businesses are only allowed to ask handlers two questions. The first is, is this a service animal? The second is, is it specifically trained to do a task for you?
Gips says one common misconception is that emotional support animals are covered by the ADA, but that’s not true. Service animals undergo much more training.
“They have to be individually trained to perform a work or task for somebody with a disability,” Gips said.
Service animals in training are not federally protected by the ADA. However, several states, like Vermont, have laws that extend the same guidelines.

The Historic Hamel Library is a treasure trove for Medina, Corcoran, Plymouth, Rockford and Loretto history. Photos, old articles and other archives are housed in the one-room building located on the southwest corner of Hamel Road and Sioux Drive.
The library is looking for donations to add a new porch, repaint the outside of the building, buy more Christmas lights and hire someone to weed the flower beds around the library.
“Our goal is to keep the history of Hamel alive and keep it as a small town thing,” Uptown Hamel Group President Keith Dragisich said.
The library has raised nearly $1,500 of it’s $5,000 goal.
“It’s just a huge asset to the town,” Dragisich said. “It’ll be great if people can come and do the GoFundMe, so we can keep preserving everything. It’s the flowers, its the mulch, it all adds up over time.”
Current librarian Gordy Schmidt has been leading the charge for the renovations. So far with the money that has been raised, the library has been able to put in a new slab of concrete to make a patio sitting area with benches for people to sit by as well as a deck with two steps to allow better accessibility.
The planning for the renovations happened last year when the pavers out front were becoming uneven. Schmidt raised money for the new cement patio out front during his brother Roger “Pete” Schmidt’s memorial.
“It’s time – it needs updating like anything else,” Dragisich said. “The roof is good, everything inside is good, we just need a little extra help from the community.”
The Uptown Hamel Group is in charge of the Hamel Library and its upkeep. Schmidt is one of the volunteer librarians who opens the library every Thursday from 1-4 p.m. in July and August. While people can come and look through the archives at their leisure, items cannot be checked out from the library.
The building was once a summer pantry next to the old schoolhouse and then had a bookmobile deliver books to the working library from 1940 until 1965. It was turned into the history-filled building it is today in1965 when Roger Schmidt took the building over. When Roger Schmidt died last year, Gordy Schmidt took up the mantle as a librarian in his brother’s place.
Binders of family photographs and historical documents and old books fill the shelves around the room. An old Hamel Concert Band drum hangs on the wall and a wood stove rests in the middle. Schmidt remembers coming to the library when he was going to summer school at university and checking out books at the little Hamel library instead of the university library.
Schmidt said that the renovations to the historical library will be, “keeping history because once history is gone or torn down, it’s never coming back.”
In the future, the volunteers hope to hold events at the library once renovations are finished. Ideas include an ice cream social with the intent to promote the local history being preserved at the library.
“We’re hoping the improvements that we do will make [the library] even more popular,” Dragisich said.

US Department of State Special Representative (S/R) for Commercial and Business Affairs Dilawar Syed visited the National Incubation Center, Karachi (NICK) for a series of interactions with Pakistani officials, innovators, and entrepreneurs as part of his July tour to Karachi. Syed discussed how the United States and Pakistan can work together to boost Pakistan’s entrepreneurial environment at a meeting with Federal Minister of Information Technology and Telecommunication Syed Amin ul Haque. Syed also participated in a panel discussion at NICK on “Promoting US-Pakistan Innovation and Investment.” Atif Rais Khan, the founder and CEO of the technology firm LMKT, and Dr. Syed Akbar Zaidi, the executive director of the Institute of Business Administration, were also present. The programme, which was moderated by journalist Ariba Shahid, the event focused on Pakistan’s entrepreneurial potential and how to increase it. As part of its endeavor to build on 75 years of US-Pakistan economic cooperation, the United States will continue to seek to increase bilateral commerce, increase investment, and improve entrepreneurial and educational opportunities for everybody, according to Syed. Following the panel, Syed took part in a roundtable discussion with Pakistani women business owners who had been successful in starting their own companies. Syed emphasised the need of fostering inclusive and sustainable economic growth for Pakistan’s long-term prosperity while highlighting US assistance for the empowerment of Pakistani women and girls. “For example, increasing digital and financial awareness for women and other underprivileged groups can help Pakistan achieve its business potential,” he stated. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/966336/us-to-expand-bilateral-trade-boost-investment-with-pakistan-us-envoy/ | 2022-07-14T06:59:09Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/966336/us-to-expand-bilateral-trade-boost-investment-with-pakistan-us-envoy/ | false | 1 |

Millions of claimants on Universal Credit and other benefits will get a payment of £326 from today to help with the soaring cost of living.
The cash will be paid out to 8.4million UK households.
The £326 is the first half of a larger £650 Government cost of living payment, and will be paid out from July 14.
You should get the money by the end of July if you're eligible, although the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has warned of possible delays.
You may not get the top-up payment on the day you usually get your benefits.
Those who claim Tax Credits - so Working Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit - are expected to get their £650 cost of living payment slightly later.
Tax Credits claimants will receive their first payment in autumn, with a second payment to follow in winter.
Cost of Living
Our Cost of Living team of experts are here to help YOU through a very difficult year.
They'll be bringing you the latest money news stories and also providing specialist advice.
Whether it's rocketing energy bills, the cost of the weekly shop or increased taxes, our team will be with you all the way.
Every Thursday at 1pm they will take part in a Facebook Live event to answer your questions and offer their advice. Visit facebook.com/dailymirror/live to watch. You can read more about our team of experts here.
If you have a question - or want to share your story - please get in touch by emailing webnews@mirror.co.uk.
The second payment of £324 will come in the autumn, although no set date has been announced yet.
Which benefits claimants get the £650 payment?
The £650 payment is only being given out to those who claim means-tested benefits - so where your income and savings are taken into account.
This includes:
Child Tax Credit
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Income Support
Pension Credit
Universal Credit
Working Tax Credit
The DWP has also issued advice on how you can challenge a decision.
I'm not eligible for the £650 - what help can I get?
If you claim certain disability benefits, there is a £150 cost of living payment due in September.
Pensioners in receipt of Winter Fuel Payments will get an extra £300.
Every home in England, Scotland and Wales will also receive £400 off their energy bills, spread out over six months from October.
Rather than a cash payment, the money will be applied directly to your energy account.
Direct debit and credit customers will have the money credited to their account, while those with pre-payment meters will have the money added to their meter or paid via a voucher.
Support to people in Northern Ireland has not yet been announced.
This is in replacement of the £200 "loan-not-loan" that had originally been announced last year by the Chancellor.
Other help is also available through the Household Support Fund, which is being paid out by local councils.
Each local authority decides who to give the money to, and how the money should be spent - so you may face a postcode lottery in terms of the help available to you.
The help on offer does vary, but can include cash grants and supermarket vouchers.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak extended the Household Support Fund as part of a wider £15billion package to tackle the cost of living crisis.
Speak to your council to see what help it offers and if you’re eligible for support.

Danny Care has been reinstated as England halfback with their Test series against the Wallabies to be decided in Sydney on Saturday night.
The veteran has come back into the starting XV at the expense of youngster Jack van Poortvliet, who helped engineer an England win in Brisbane to level the series.
Care started the series opener in Perth two weeks ago, and England coach Eddie Jones has opted for his experience with the Ellis-Mobb trophy on the line at the SCG.
But it's a surprise given 21-year-old van Poortvliet was one of the visitors' best at Suncorp Stadium.
In other changes, lock Ollie Chessum will make his starting debut with Maro Itoje unavailable after a head-knock, while Lewis Ludlam is the new starting openside flanker with Sam Underhill also suffering concussion.
Back-rower Nick Isiekwe could make his first appearance in the series after being included in the reserves.
Guy Porter, who captained Sydney University and only shifted to England at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been retained at outside centre.
ENGLAND: Freddie Steward, Jack Nowell, Guy Porter, Owen Farrell, Tommy Freeman, Marcus Smith, Danny Care, Billy Vunipola, Lewis Ludlam, Courtney Lawes (capt), Jonny Hill, Ollie Chessum, Will Stuart, Jamie George, Ellis Genge. Reserves: Luke Cowan-Dickie, Mako Vunipola, Joe Heyes, Nick Isiekwe, Jack Willis, Jack van Poortvliet, Will Joseph, Henry Arundell. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/rugby-union/england-halfback-switch-for-wallabies-c-7521199 | 2022-07-14T07:04:39Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/rugby-union/england-halfback-switch-for-wallabies-c-7521199 | true | 2 |
Week Of Gang Violence Leaves 89 Dead In Haiti Capital: Rights Group
Umer Jamshaid Published July 14, 2022 | 11:00 AM
PortauPrince, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 14th Jul, 2022 ) :A week of clashes between rival gangs in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince has left at least 89 people dead and dozens injured, a human rights group said Wednesday.
The fresh violence, coupled with soaring food prices and fuel shortages all add to a brutal downward spiral in the security situation in the city.
The unrest erupted on July 7 between two rival factions in Cite Soleil, an impoverished and densely populated neighborhood of Port-au-Prince.
"At least 89 people were killed and 16 others are missing," the National Human Rights Defense Network said in a statement, adding that another 74 people sustained gunshot or knife wounds.
International humanitarian organizations have struggled to deliver crucial food supplies to the affected areas as well to provide medical care to the victims.
Mumuza Muhindo, head of the local mission of Doctors Without Borders, on Wednesday urged all combatants to allow medics to safely access Brooklyn, an area of Cite Soleil most affected by the violence.
Muhindo said his colleagues have seen burned and rotting corpses on along a road leading to that neighborhood.
"It's a real battlefield," Muhindo said. "It's impossible to estimate how many people have been killed."

Hill & Smith Holdings PLC (LON:HILS) Shares Could Be 28% Below Their Intrinsic Value Estimate
How far off is Hill & Smith Holdings PLC (LON:HILS) from its intrinsic value? Using the most recent financial data, we'll take a look at whether the stock is fairly priced by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting them to today's value. We will take advantage of the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model for this purpose. Don't get put off by the jargon, the math behind it is actually quite straightforward.
We would caution that there are many ways of valuing a company and, like the DCF, each technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. For those who are keen learners of equity analysis, the Simply Wall St analysis model here may be something of interest to you.
Check out our latest analysis for Hill & Smith Holdings
The method
We are going to use a two-stage DCF model, which, as the name states, takes into account two stages of growth. The first stage is generally a higher growth period which levels off heading towards the terminal value, captured in the second 'steady growth' period. To start off with, we need to estimate the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.
A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, so we discount the value of these future cash flows to their estimated value in today's dollars:
10-year free cash flow (FCF) estimate
("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)
Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = UK£531m
The second stage is also known as Terminal Value, this is the business's cash flow after the first stage. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 0.9%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 6.5%.
Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2032 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = UK£82m× (1 + 0.9%) ÷ (6.5%– 0.9%) = UK£1.5b
Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= UK£1.5b÷ ( 1 + 6.5%)10= UK£799m
The total value is the sum of cash flows for the next ten years plus the discounted terminal value, which results in the Total Equity Value, which in this case is UK£1.3b. The last step is to then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of UK£12.1, the company appears a touch undervalued at a 28% discount to where the stock price trades currently. The assumptions in any calculation have a big impact on the valuation, so it is better to view this as a rough estimate, not precise down to the last cent.
Important assumptions
Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. If you don't agree with these result, have a go at the calculation yourself and play with the assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Hill & Smith Holdings as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 6.5%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.146. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.
Moving On:
Although the valuation of a company is important, it is only one of many factors that you need to assess for a company. DCF models are not the be-all and end-all of investment valuation. Rather it should be seen as a guide to "what assumptions need to be true for this stock to be under/overvalued?" If a company grows at a different rate, or if its cost of equity or risk free rate changes sharply, the output can look very different. Can we work out why the company is trading at a discount to intrinsic value? For Hill & Smith Holdings, we've compiled three further elements you should further research:

Us humans aren't so good at grasping things underwater, but new research reveals how nature could lend us a helping hand. Scientists have developed a glove specifically for these purposes that takes its design cues from an octopus, featuring rubber suckers and a sophisticated sensing capability that mimic the sea creature's unique muscular and nervous systems.
Unlike humans, the octopus is very well equipped to handle all kinds of objects in the water. This is facilitated by more than 2,000 suckers spread across eight arms and an ability to process information from an array of chemical and mechanical sensors. This allows the octopus to navigate rocky terrain and latch onto smooth shells and rough barnacles. Importantly, it enables them to do so with a delicate touch and without exerting too much force.
Researchers at Virginia Tech sought to recreate these capabilities for the human hand with what they call the Octa-glove. It features rubber stalks capped with soft, actuated membranes that mimic the octopus suckers and are designed to adhere to both flat and curved surfaces while only applying light pressure. The glove is able to do this thanks to an array of micro-LIDAR optical proximity sensors that detect nearby objects. A microcontroller connects the sensors with the synthetic suckers to govern their behavior, with the gripping abilities of the glove able to be configured by tuning the sensor array depending on the task at hand.
When latching onto smaller objects such as spoons, metal toys and a hydrogel ball, the glove relies on just a single sensor to grasp them with a delicate touch. By setting it to use all of its onboard sensors for object detection, the glove is able to pick up larger things like plates, boxes and bowls, all without the user needing to close their hand.
“By merging soft, responsive adhesive materials with embedded electronics, we can grasp objects without having to squeeze,” said Professor Michael Bartlett, who led the research team. “It makes handling wet or underwater objects much easier and more natural. The electronics can activate and release adhesion quickly. Just move your hand toward an object, and the glove does the work to grasp. It can all be done without the user pressing a single button.”
The scientists imagine their Octa-glove finding use in all kinds of underwater applications. It could be worn by rescue divers working to extract people or objects from sticky situations, engineers maintaining bridges, or archaeologists on the hunt for submerged artifacts. Importantly, it will enable them to grasp objects without applying much pressure, instead relying on the sensing abilities and synthetic suckers of the glove to do the heavy lifting.
“These capabilities mimic the advanced manipulation, sensing, and control of cephalopods and provide a platform for synthetic underwater adhesive skins that can reliably manipulate diverse underwater objects,” said study author Ravi Tutika. “This is certainly a step in the right direction, but there is much for us to learn both about the octopus and how to make integrated adhesives before we reach nature’s full gripping capabilities.”
The research was published in the journal Science Advances, while you can see the glove in action in the video below.

The Kelty Clippie is returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August, but will stage a special preview show at the Kings Live Lounge on August 13.
Written by John Murray, Fife Free Press music columnist, it has already played to full houses at the Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline and Lochgelly Centre, as well as winning plaudits at the Fringe - but this will be the first time it has been staged in the Lang Toun.
The afternoon performance will unveil new characters as the show is updated for 2022 after previously enjoying sold out runs at the Fringe in 2018 and 2019.
The Kingdom Theatre Company show follows the adventures of Maggie Blair- (played by Jacqueline Hannan from Dunfermline -to become a conductress in the early 1970s. It ends up at the legendary Kelty Club for a night out.
It was based on the famousScottish folk song by the late John Watt whose widow Cathy and has seen the show and enthused about the production.
Watt was widely regarded as one of Scotland’;s great songwriters across five decades.
The Dunfermline-born musician moved from jazz to blues before becoming part of the Dunfermline Howff Folksong Club which hosted many of the genre’s greatest names.
The Kelty Clippie appeared on his 1976 album Shores of the Forth recorded with Davey Stewart.
That turned out to be his only recording until fellow Fifer Rab Noakes got him to produce Heroes in 2000, but he was hugely active on the music scene, hosting numerous radio programmes and documentaries, and giving lectures and workshops.
He was also a key part of Milnathort Folk Festival’s committee.
John passed away in 2011, but the Kelty Clippie remains a popular song to this day, and he is remembered by many across Fife’s music scene as a great singer, composer and storyteller.
His songs have been sung across many countries.
Singer Linton Osborne will perform a short warm up set before the Kirkcaldy show.

More than 50 people gathered in the Bondurant Middle School library on Tuesday evening for the first of two public kick-off meetings regarding the update for the Frankfort/Franklin County comprehensive plan.
Frankfort's Planning and Community Development Director Eric Cockley started the meeting by giving a brief introduction of the city and county staff involved with the update as well as the consulting companies hired to administer the public surveys that will guide how the plan will be written, as well as analyze the results.
The main consultant for the project is McBride Dale Clarion (MDC), a Cincinnati-based firm that specializes in coordinating and managing planning and zoning projects for municipalities across the country.
Elizabeth Fields, a public planning manager for MDC, gave a 45-minute presentation about the overall project, the public survey and the importance of public participation within the comprehensive plan process. She also defined the role that she and MDC would play throughout the project.
"Planning and zoning is that we do, that is what we specialize in, that is all that I do as a staff planner," Fields told the group. "We are not architects, we are not real estate people, we are not developers. We are here to help lead this process and be the ones to take in all the information and help analyze it and help create a vision that is yours and not ours."
MDC will be aided by two other consulting firms, Human Nature and Strand Associates. Human Nature, also from Cincinnati, will be responsible for environmental planning, including open spaces, parks and recreation. Strand Associates, which has an office in Lexington, will focus on transportation, utilities and infrastructure.
The comprehensive plan process has been broken down into four phases and is projected to be completed by June of next year.
Phase one, which started in February, is for initial research and analysis and is conducted through engaging the public and community stake holders. This phase is expected to end in July after the second kick off meeting.
Phase two will consist of demographic and geographic analysis as well as exploring different development scenarios, drafting objectives and establishing the plan's themes.
The third phase will be for drafting the plan and the fourth and final phase will be the formal adoption of the plan after a public review.
Fields noted in her presentation that Kentucky requires communities to update the comprehensive plan at least every five years. She said that a lot of communities simply re-adopt the existing plan. Frankfort/Franklin County has not overhauled its plan since 2001.
"It has been updated minimally throughout the last 20 years, but there have not been any significant updates and changes," Fields said. "So we are using this opportunity to think fresh and start new while also making sure that the items, goals and policy from that last plan that still ring true."
The rest of her presentation was spent going over the survey that has been made available to the public on the comprehensive plan website, www.distilledtogether.com.
The 17-question survey asks people who live, work and/or play in the area questions about what they value about Frankfort/Franklin County. Additionally it asks what features they might want to see in the future.
For example, one of the questions asks the participant to pick what topics should be prioritized over the next decade. The topics listed include: agricultural preservation, community development, more jobs, tourism opportunities and transportation/infrastructure to name a few.
Of the 50-plus in attendance, several were community leaders and elected officials from both the city and the county as well as those seeking office in the November election.
First District Magistrate Sherry Sebastian said that the fact that Frankfort and Franklin County are going through the complete process to update the plan is a positive step.
"I'm glad we are doing the full process," she said after the presentation. "I am looking forward to actually hearing what members of the community have to say because the key to this is how do we thoughtfully become the community that we want to be. How do we prepare the community for our children and for folks we are trying to attract to our community? We also want to build a community that folks that are living here currently, want to stay in."
Frankfort Commissioner Katrisha Waldridge said that she was encouraged by the number of people who came to the meeting and that she hopes for a more diverse group at the second meeting on July 27. Additionally, she is looking forward to information that will help city and county boards make decisions regarding economic development.
"I am hoping that more people will come out or at least log onto the website and take the survey," Waldridge said. "I feel this is a heartened step in Frankfort's future. I know it is going to take about a year or so, but I am hoping that as Commissioner [Anna Marie] Rosen shared last night, that we can get it moving a little bit faster so we can figure out property lines, any available property to be known now so we can start working on that. So we can fill in at public meetings. That is something we need to do now, because economic development drives everything we saw here."
Third District Magistrate Michael Mueller, who is also the Democratic candidate for judge-executive, said that he likes seeing the city and county working together towards the common good. He also looks forward to the open dialogue this process will foster.
"I really hope they get the numbers out as far as what the people really want. I think it is just about having the conversation and the more we can learn about what people in this community want, the better off we'll all be. I think everyone wants the same thing — a vibrant community, a vibrant downtown, vibrant park systems, quality of life," Mueller said.
Ken Carroll, Republican candidate for judge-executive, was also on hand and said that the meeting was a good start and he was glad to see that the consultants are covering the area's more pertinent issues. However, Carroll said that he does have some issues with the fiscal side of what the survey might show.
"The concerns that I have initially related to what I understand to be a pretty good imbalance between what I would call the growth segment of the bigger group, being about 20%, and the anti-growth segment being like 80%," Carroll said after the meeting. "I think we need more balance there. Because ultimately to have things like the natatorium or performing arts center, all the enhancements and the infrastructure and everything else; if we don't have significant growth to pay for those things, then you either have to do without them or you are going to have to raise taxes. I am not going to raise taxes."
The second meeting, which will have the same agenda as the first meeting, will take place on July 27 at 5:30 p.m. at Franklin County High School. The public is encouraged to fill out the survey on the website. | https://www.state-journal.com/news/city-county-kick-off-comprehensive-plan-update-study/article_5d938a6a-02ab-11ed-8a87-7f7f32607f99.html | 2022-07-14T07:27:12Z | https://www.state-journal.com/news/city-county-kick-off-comprehensive-plan-update-study/article_5d938a6a-02ab-11ed-8a87-7f7f32607f99.html | true | 1 |
Scientists Cloned Mice From Freeze-Dried Skin Cells, Opening the Door to Biopreservation:
On the surface, Dorami was just an average mouse. She grew to a healthy weight, had pups of her own, and died naturally near her second birthday—roughly 70 years in human age, and completely unexceptional for a lab mouse.
Except for one thing: Dorami was cloned from freeze-dried cells. And not just any cell—she was cloned from somatic cells (the cells that make up our bodies) rather than sperm or eggs.
Dorami is the latest foray into a decades-long push to use cloning as a way to preserve biodiversity. The triumph of Dolly the sheep made it clear that it's possible to revive animals using reproductive cells. The dream of restoring extinct animals, or biobanking current ones, has captured the imagination of scientists ever since. One powerful way to preserve a species' DNA is to store sperm in liquid nitrogen. At roughly -320 degrees Fahrenheit, the cells can be frozen in time for years.
But there's one hiccup. Collecting reproductive cells from animals on the brink of extinction is—to put it mildly—extremely difficult. In contrast, scratching off a few skin cells or shaving some fur is relatively simple. These cells contain the animal's complete DNA, but they're fragile.
The new study, led by Dr. Teruhiko Wakayama at the University of Yamanashi in Japan, made the leap from sperm to skin. Developing a highly technical recipe that would make any fine-dining chef proud, the team successfully cloned 75 healthy mice from freeze-dried somatic cells collected from both male and female donors. Many offspring, including Dorami, went on to have pups of their own.
With a success rate of roughly five percent at most—and as low as 0.2 percent—the technique is far from efficient. But the strategy carves a path towards the bigger picture: our ability to store and potentially revive genetic variations of near-extinct species.
[...] Ultimately, this is just the first step. Somatic cells are easier to capture compared to reproductive ones, especially for infertile or juvenile animals. Doing it easier and cheaper is a plus. The team is now looking to capture genetic material from cadavers or feces to broaden the scope.

Ducks Wire can confirm a report that Oregon Ducks tight end Spencer Webb suffered a tragic head injury on Wednesday afternoon that left him dead.
According to the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, a 22-year-old person suffered an apparent head injury after slipping on the rocks at the Triangle Lake rock slides on Wednesday afternoon.
The name and identity of Webb were not initially released as next of kin was notified, but the first report came on Wednesday afternoon at around 4 p.m.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office has yet to officially identify the deceased male as Webb, but we have confirmed that detail via multiple sources.
Here is the release from LCSO:
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office responded to the rock slides just a short distance west of Triangle Lake at approximately 2:30pm after receiving the report of an injured person. Upon arrival, deputies learned that a 22 year old male recreating in the area fell and struck his head. Bystanders and responding paramedics were unable to revive him. Lane County Sheriff Search and Rescue personnel responded to assist with bringing him back to the roadway as he was approximately 100 yards down a steep trail.
There is no evidence of foul play and his death appears to be accidental. The victim’s name is being withheld at this time pending next of kin notification.
In three seasons with the Ducks, Webb played in 20 games, catching 31 passes for 296 yards and 4 touchdowns. He was set to be a big piece of the Oregon offense in the 2022 season, which would have been his fourth with the Ducks.
The team is yet to release a statement on the matter, but head coach Dan Lanning had this to say on Twitter:
After word got out on social media on Wednesday night, Oregon teammates and fellow athletes reacted on Twitter. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/tragic-accident-at-triangle-lake-leaves-oregon-te-spencer-webb-dead/259755/ | 2022-07-14T07:37:32Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/tragic-accident-at-triangle-lake-leaves-oregon-te-spencer-webb-dead/259755/ | false | 2 |
The last time we shared photos of the Google's Kings Cross building, it was just the base structure. A few years later, it looks like the building is really coming along. Daniel Waisberg from Google visited the London office and snapped the photo.
He said on Twitter "The new Google London office in King's Cross is taking shape! It'll be a very cool place."

Indian rupee hit a fresh record low against the US dollar for the fourth straight session on July 14 after faster-than-expected June inflation data fueled the speculations that the Federal Reserve may raise key interest rates by as much as one percentage point in the upcoming meeting. This month, the domestic currency has dropped to record lows seven times.
At 9.20am, the rupee was trading at life low of 79.77, down 0.17% from its previous close of 79.64. On the other hand, the 10 Year bond yield rose 4 basis points to 7.38 percent from its previous close of 7.338 percent. Bond yield and bond prices move in opposite directions.

Investors bet that the US Fed is more likely than not to raise interest rates by 100 basis points when it meets on July 26-27, which would be the largest increase since the Fed started directly using overnight interest rates to conduct monetary policy in the early 1990s.
"Markets seem to find themselves at an unusual crossroads as they are fretful of highflation/stagflation and yet are also stalked by recession fears. The July inflation print will likely be soft and sub 9 percent, given the recent drop in gasoline prices and falling commodity prices. But the US inflation peak may not have yet come to pass, and the YoY print may again go up later in the summer", said Madhavi Arora lead economist of Emkay.
"That said, we reckon disinflation is imminent, one way (soft-landing) or another (recession). US Fed funds rate is likely to get restrictive by end-July itself (i.e starting to hurt growth meaningfully), if it hikes more than 75bps – a case no longer elusive as it races to unmoor inflation expectations and the risk of a wage-price spiral", Arora added.
The rupee is already under pressure due to continued outflow by foreign investors amid recession fears. So far this year, FII's have sold around $29.16 billion in equities.
The recent measures by the Reserve Bank of India are unlikely to help the home currency. Recently, RBI allowed banks and traders to invoice and settle global transactions in rupees. The move is seen as a significant step towards internationalisation of the local currency. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/rupee-hits-fresh-record-low-for-4th-straight-session-8825231.html | 2022-07-14T07:42:55Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/rupee-hits-fresh-record-low-for-4th-straight-session-8825231.html | true | 2 |

Tesla has lost a key executive who was leading some of the company’s self-driving programs.
Andrej Karpathy, director of artificial intelligence and head of the company’s autopilot vision team, is leaving Tesla (ticker: TSLA). He made the announcement on Twitter Wednesday evening. | https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-autopilot-ai-self-driving-executive-51657782745 | 2022-07-14T07:47:02Z | https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-autopilot-ai-self-driving-executive-51657782745 | true | null |
Seoul,
Samsung said on Thursday it has developed a new graphics dynamic random-access memory (
DRAM) chip with a faster speed and improved power efficiency.
The 24-gigabit
Graphics Double Data Rate 6 (GDDR6) adopts third-generation, 10-nanometer technology and boasts a data processing speed that is over 30 per cent faster than existing products, the company said in a statement.
The new DRAM chip can process graphic images at a rate of up to 1.1 terabytes per second, which Samsung claims is the fastest in the world and equivalent to processing 275 full HD movies in a second.
Graphics DRAMs are widely used in high-powered 3D games, personal computers, notebooks or devices that play videos with a high resolution.
In the future, it is also expected to be used in high performance computing, electric cars and autonomous vehicles, reports
Yonhap news agency.
As the new chip meets the JEDEC industry standards, artificial intelligence and graphics companies will likely adopt it easily, Samsung added.
The
JEDEC Solid State Technology Association is a semiconductor organisation in charge of standardisation of chips.
Using the so-called dynamic voltage scaling technology, the GDDR6 DRAM also improves power efficiency more than 20 percent, Samsung said.
"Samsung will mass produce the new graphics chip at an opportune time to meet growing customer needs and will thus seek to take the lead in the next-generation graphics DRAM market," the company said.
Samsung, the world's top memory chip maker, saw its DRAM sales fall in the first three months of the year for a second quarter on weaker prices and other negatives, but the company retained its top spot in the global market. | https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/next-gen-technologies/samsung-develops-worlds-fastest-graphics-dram-chip/92866385 | 2022-07-14T07:50:20Z | https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/next-gen-technologies/samsung-develops-worlds-fastest-graphics-dram-chip/92866385 | true | 5 |
