You studied painting and drawing at university. How has your background in Fine Art influenced your luthiery?
“I’ve been working on instruments for a number of years now, but designing/building guitars wasn’t on my radar until my early 30s. I indeed studied Fine Arts at Concordia University, making a rough living as an artist in my 20s, while exploring the Canadian gallery scene. I’d grown up in a creative environment doing mural work and scenic painting for my parents design firm in Montreal. Working for them as a kid was my first exposure to the ‘atelier’ setting, a work environment which immediately felt natural and has followed me my entire career.
“I’d say that my choice of non-traditional materials in some of the guitar designs and my willingness to work on very specific one-off customized builds has a lot to do with the Fine Arts background. In regards to painting, these last few years I’ve leaned towards approaching each session as its own mini explorative journey, where improvisation and intuitive play are given free range. “This varies wildly from the many years of work preceding, where I was planning out compositions on the computer and painstakingly reproducing them over a period of several months. After a decade or so of working in this fashion, I’ve recently gained much insight by planning things out only to a certain extent, leaving a lot of room for subsequent experimentation. I find I strike a good balance with an instrument when the equilibrium between active planning and improvised playfulness is met.”
You’ve also noted that Depression-era jug bands inspired you to start building guitars. What drew you to the instruments of that era?
“I was into 20s and 30s rural/country blues from pretty early on, quickly realizing that some of my favorite musicians – Blind Willie Johnson, Lightnin Hopkins, Hound Dog Taylor, Big Bill Broonzy, etc. – learned the guitar on rudimentary homemade instruments, most often using recycled objects. I think this was the initial spark for me. I started making replicas of what I imagined these could both look and sound like around 2006. Quickly, one fretless three-stringed instrument morphed into a few more and soon enough my painting space was filled with dozens of curious looking tiny rectangular guitars. This in essence was the beginning of Daddy Mojo String Instruments. After a chance meeting with Luca Tripaldi, my creative partner for the subsequent ten years, the studio was slowly transformed into a full-fledged guitar workshop. It still blows my mind to think about how it all got started…”
The Rosetta model was an early offering from you, and is inspired by parlor and pre-war models. What can players expect from a guitar like this?
“Rosetta was one of the first electric guitar designs to come out of our shop. It was initially meant as a parlor-sized, carved top instrument, with a construction akin to that of a Les Paul or a Duo Jet. The shape was inspired by a 1929 ladder braced Stella guitar, made by Oscar Schmidt, that I owned at the time. A few years ago I took some time to re-design the model as a full fledged acoustic archtop. Fundamentally the model draws its roots in pre-war instrument design and I wanted it to feel that way, through and through. The guitar features a proprietary Art Deco tailpiece and comes in two body sizes and scale lengths: 24.75″ and 19″ with 12.75″ and 9″ respective lower bouts; the latter essentially working as six string baritone ukulele, tuned to standard G.
“The first few Rosettas featured a Charlie Christian pickup in the neck position, a chambered mahogany body and a carved maple cap. The latest 2.0 iteration is built with structured laminated sides (yellow cedar and mahogany), an arched laminated back and a five ply, pressed, laminated spruce top. This new version sports a DeArmond Rhythm Chief re-issue pickup that mounts to the fingerboard. I must admit these get very close to the sound of the original harnesses developed by DeArmond and meant to retrofit acoustic jazzboxes at the dawn of guitar amplification. The Rosetta 2.0 also features some pretty old school specs like a Stauffer style adjustable neck, a 1.75″ wide nut and a slight V-shaped neck carve.”
You’ve also introduced art deco ideas via models like the Ozark and BeeKay. What inspired you to offer contrasting models to the Rosetta?
“Truthfully, a lot of my models draw inspiration from vintage instruments I’ve owned through the years. I’ve always been drawn to quirkier guitar manufacturers like Kay, Supro, Danelectro etc. This is where the Ozark and BeeKay models mostly find their roots. The BeeKay takes inspiration after a 1950’s Kay Barney Kessel ‘endorsement’ model and looks towards legendary players like Howling Wolf and T-bone Walker. The BeeKay features an extensively chambered mahogany body capped with a maple top, which ensures a lightweight instrument with surprising acoustic projection. The Ozark on the other hand is mostly built as a short scale solid body. Often using reclaimed materials and sinker woods, it most often is bound in a wide aluminum banding, hinting heavily towards 1950’s suburban nostalgia and forgotten American diners.”
Your workshop is based out of Mile End Guitar Coop. How much does that environment inspire your work?
“After losing my shop in 2014, a space I’d inhabited for a little over seven years, I moved into the Mile End Guitar Coop, which at the time was home to Indian Hill Guitars, 52 Instrument Co., Island Instruments and a slew of other talented builders. I’d worked with Nic from Island for about three years prior, and when the guys heard I was basically assembling guitars out of my car, they kindly invited me to stay as long as I needed to. What was meant as a temporary fix may have turned into one of the most important professional decisions I took that same year. “I moved in as a full time member a few months later and haven’t looked back since! Originally, the space was founded by Jeremy and Mike, who met during an apprenticeship with master builder Sergei de Jonge, who was an apprentice to luthier Jean Larrivée in the late 1960s. You can imagine the level of skill and knowledge that circulates here on any given day. We’ve since incorporated our shared workspace into a full blown cooperative entity which counts ten active members.”
What is it that draws such revered luthiers to Montreal?
“In my mind, Montreal has always been a hub for musicians, artisans and creative types. Even with the recent inflation trend, the city remains one of the most affordable Canadian urban centers to live and create in. There’s a constant migration of musicians coming here from both east and west coasts, bringing lots of opportunities for instrument repair and instrument sales for a guitar maker. Parallel to this, the city hosted one of the largest lutherie showcases in the world several years in a row – Le Salon de la guitare de Montréal (The Montreal Guitar Show), which ran alongside the city’s world famous Jazz Festival and drew a huge amount of attention in this regard. There are also two reputable guitar schools in the province of Quebec – Ecole de Lutherie Bruand here in Montreal (where two of our co-op members have studied) and L’Ecole nationale de lutherie (The National Lutherie School) in Quebec city. Basically 20 to 30 luthiers graduating every year, adding to the already effervescent pool of guitar builders working from here.”
Did you have any external investment starting out?
“Luckily, I was able to navigate the purchase of materials and of minimal equipment/machinery early on, with funds generated from cigar box guitars sales alone. Daddy Mojo was one of the first companies to manufacture and commercialize the instrument at large with a network of dealers in a few Montreal shops, quickly developing representation across North America, Europe and Asia. There definitely have been huge ups and downs through the years and I feel extremely lucky to have stayed afloat through recessions and downturns. A conscious decision was made on my part about five years ago to develop the line of archtops and solid bodies more seriously. In that sense, it very much felt like starting all over again. Orders for these instruments were hard to come by at first. I’d finish a project and if I was lucky a new one would present itself to me, basically living instrument to instrument.
“Selling guitars mostly online can be daunting, I feel people need to trust and ‘get to know’ a brand or maker for several months, sometimes several years, before taking the leap and making an investment on a new guitar. That type of trust definitely takes time to build. I find myself extremely grateful to have a bit of a wait list on instruments these days. It’s definitely an ideal place to be for a guitar builder and also takes some of the financial stress off. Although it’s quickly replaced with a different kind of stress, like keeping on top of instrument deadlines, which I’m still getting used to. In our profession, we say ‘you are successful if you can make a living from it.’ Getting rich isn’t really an option, you do it for the love of the craft and also for the freedom of working for yourself.”
When did you realise you had a viable business?
“I’d have to pinpoint that moment to the first time I saw one of our instruments in a music store setting. To have your work stand alongside brands you’ve grown up with and admire is a pretty surreal experience at first. When our first US dealer (Truetone Music in Santa Monica) placed a ‘re-order’ after selling out their first few instruments, I realized I’d be doing this for a few more years at least!”
Elsewhere, musicians such as Ronnie Wood, Nels Cline and Jack White have been seen using your guitars. What does it feel like to have your company represented by such important musical icons?
“I mean, It’s obviously an incredible feeling. The Ronnie Wood connection really hit home as the Stones’ Steel Wheels Montreal show was the very first stadium concert I attended as a kid. Meeting Jack White and seeing him play one of our guitars onstage was also completely unexpected and surreal. These moments definitely make up for the long nights spent obsessing over every single detail of a build, or making the 5th iteration of a pickguard in an off-kilter material just to see if it is a better fit! [laughs] Truthfully though, the emails received saying you’ve brought the gift of music into a home, or that a customized instrument has taken a client’s playing into completely new directions are just as rewarding. This is the stuff that makes all of it worthwhile.”

Bayern Munich are edging closer to agreeing a new deal with Chelsea target Serge Gnabry, according to German magazine Kicker.
Gnabry has established himself as a key player for Bayern Munich since joining them from Werder Bremen for €8 million in 2017. He has scored 64 goals and provided 40 assists in 171 matches for the Bavarians.
However, there are serious doubts about the 27-year-old's future at the Allianz Arena ahead of the 2022-23 season. He has just one more year remaining on his deal with the Bundesliga champions.
There have been suggestions that Bayern Munich could keep Gnabry on the sidelines if he does not agree to a new deal or secure a transfer this summer. The situation is said to have put Chelsea on alert.
The Germany international has been tipped to be a 'real option' for the Blues amidst his uncertain future at Bayern Munich. However, Thomas Tuchel's side have received a blow to their hopes of signing the forward.
While talks between Gnabry and the Bavarians proved unsuccessful for a long time, they appear to be headed in the right direction now. The two parties are confident about reaching an agreement, according to the aforementioned source.
The German is satisfied with Bayern Munich's latest offer, as per the report. However, the finer details of the agreement are yet to be resolved. There seems to be an expectation that those will be ironed out soon.
Gnabry could thus put pen to paper on a new long-term contract with Julian Nagelsmann's side. He could reportedly commit his future to the club until the end of the 2026-27 season.
What about Chelsea's interest in Gnabry?
Chelsea have reportedly touched base with Gnabry to express their interest in him. Florian Plettenberg of Sky Deutschland recently claimed that the German would not consider a move to Stamford Bridge due to his links with Arsenal.
The forward plied his trade for Arsenal before joining Werder Bremen in 2016. He has also been linked with a return to the Emirates Stadium ahead of the 2022-23 season.
However, Kicker has rubbished claims that Gnabry would not be open to a move to Chelsea. The German, though, prefers to put pen to paper on a new deal with Bayern Munich for now.
The 27-year-old could reportedly see himself ending his career at the Bundesliga club. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumor-chelsea-target-increasingly-confident-signing-new-deal-current-club-reports | 2022-07-14T07:58:55Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumor-chelsea-target-increasingly-confident-signing-new-deal-current-club-reports | false | 1 |
Newswise — Members of the Network Contagion Lab at Rutgers University-New Brunswick (NC Lab), found evidence of a sharp rise and evolving patterns of hate speech directed toward the Hindu community across numerous social media platforms, according to a new report. “Anti-Hindu Disinformation: A Case Study of Hinduphobia on Social Media” details how white supremacist and 4chan genocidal Pepe memes about Hindus are being shared prolifically within extremist Islamist web networks on messaging service Telegram and elsewhere. Researchers at the Rutgers NC Lab used artificial intelligence to better understand the development of a disguised and coded language pattern shared on social networks. According to their analysis of 1 million tweets, Iranian trolls disseminated anti-Hindu stereotypes to fuel division as part of an influence campaign to accuse Hindus of perpetrating a genocide against minorities in India. Student analysts like Prasiddha Sudhakar worked with high school students from the New Jersey Governors’ STEM Scholars program to assemble and analyze the data. They taught them about cyber social threat detection through machine learning, open-source intelligence gathering and the dimensions of anti-Hindu disinformation. “I appreciate the opportunity to bring awareness to this underrepresented subject matter,” said Sudhakar, who graduated from Rutgers in May with a double major in computer science and economics and minor in critical intelligence studies. “Educating young people on how to detect open-source hate messaging is a vital first step in helping vulnerable communities prepare for and respond to emerging threats,” said Joel Finkelstein, chief data scientist at the NCRI and a senior research fellow at the Miller Center, who directed the student research. In July the signal on the Hinduphobic code words and memes reached record highs that could inflame a spill out to real world violence, especially in light of escalating religious tensions in India and the recent beheading of an Indian shopkeeper. Social media platforms largely are unaware of the code words, key images, and structured nature of this hatred even as it is surging. “There is, unfortunately, nothing new to the bigotry and violence faced by the Hindu population,” said John J. Farmer Jr., director of both the Miller Center and the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University–New Brunswick. “What is new is the social media context in which hate messages are being shared. Our prior work has shown a correlation between the intensity of hate messaging over social media and the eruption of real-world acts of violence.” “Our hope is that the report serves as a timely warning before the hate messaging leads to real-world violence,” said Denver Riggleman, former U.S. congressman and Miller Center Research fellow and visiting scholar. The analysis follows a series of reports that NCRI and Rutgers Centers have released since 2020 that examine the use of conspiracy theories and social media networks to instigate widespread, real-world violence. The NC Lab is a cyber-social threat identification and forecasting center developed through a partnership between the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), the Rutgers Miller Center for Community Protection and Resilience and the Rutgers Center for Critical Intelligence Studies. The NC Lab’s next report, expected in August, will focus on reciprocal radicalization.

The discovery of a loaded handgun and cannabis along with no valid driver’s license, landed a Carmi man in the White County Jail. On Friday, July 8th, Deputy Capeheart with the White County Sheriff’s Department was on patrol when he observed a black Nissan driving on Fifth Street and knew that the driver was known to have a suspended driver’s license. Capeheart initiated a traffic stop and made contact with 38 year old Zachary Schneider who was the driver of the Nissan Armada. While talking with the male, Deputy Capeheart could smell cannabis coming from inside the vehicle. Schneider told the deputy that he had some personal grown cannabis in the vehicle. He was then placed under arrest for the offense of driving on a suspended license. A search of Schneider produced no contraband. A search of the vehicle resulted in the findings of a camouflage backpack that contained 6.51 grams a green leafy substance that tested positive for cannabis as well as a Charter Arms .22 caliber revolver. The revolver had one live round and 5 spent rounds in the chamber. Three live .22 caliber rounds were also found in the backpack. A background check was done after finding the males wallet in the vehicle and revealed that Schneider is a convicted felon. The vehicle was towed by Dons Bumper to Bumper. Schneider is being charged with unlawful use or possession of weapons by a felon, driving while license revoked and possession of adult cannabis in a motor vehicle. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2663706968044/watkins-arrested-on-white-county-warrant | 2022-07-14T08:07:53Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2663706968044/watkins-arrested-on-white-county-warrant | false | 2 |
On July 13, the Chief Minister of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar, held a meeting with senior police officers to discuss the matter of threatening calls received by the Haryana MLAs from a Dubai number. Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij said as the call was made from a number outside India, the Special Task Force is in contact with the National Agencies.
This is a case of another country as the calls that have come are from Dubai and are from the same number as well. For this, our Special Task Force is maintaining contact with our National Agencies.

ANI quoted Vij as saying, “This is a case of another country as the calls that have come are from Dubai and are from the same number as well. For this, our Special Task Force is maintaining contact with our National Agencies. We are trying to find out more details soon.”
As per reports, Gian Chand Gupta, speaker of the Haryana Legislative Assembly, had said on July 11 that 5-6 MLAs have received death threats from a Dubai number. He further added that the matter was taken seriously by the authorities, and it was discussed with the Chief Minister and Director General of Police (DGP). The security of the MLAs who received threads was increased.
Reports suggest that the calls were related to extortion. The matter was handed over to the Special Task Force on Sunday, and the State Home Minister is monitoring the case regularly. HM Vij said that the STF has made some progress in the case, but considering the sensitivity of the matter, details are not being discussed in public.
One of the MLAs who received the threat calls was from BJP, while the remaining were from Congress. In June this year, BJP MLA Sanjay Singh alleged that he had received an extortion call on Whatsapp on June 25. The caller had identified himself as an associate of the Neeraj Bawana gang and demanded Rs 5 lakh from the MLA.
Congress MLAs Subhash Gangoli, Surender Panwar, Kuldeep Vats, and others too received similar calls. In his complaint, Kuldeep Vats alleged that five men had entered his Pataudi House and thrashed his cook. They threatened to “treat the MLA like Sidhu Moosewala.” | https://www.opindia.com/2022/07/haryana-mlas-threatening-calls-dubai/ | 2022-07-14T08:08:27Z | https://www.opindia.com/2022/07/haryana-mlas-threatening-calls-dubai/ | false | 1 |
HEBRON, Ky. (AP) — A jury has found in favor of a state social worker who filed a lawsuit claiming he was mistreated by supervisors after reporting problems with dozens of cases.
Jurors in Boone County Circuit Court awarded Tim Williams $2 million in damages after a trial last week, the Courier Journal reported.
The lawsuit said Williams experienced retaliation and harassment after he reported concerns in 2015 about 93 cases of alleged child abuse or neglect had been misplaced and not investigated for months.
Williams said he was grateful for the verdict.
“All 12 jurors heard the evidence,” Williams said. “All 12 believed it happened.”
The Cabinet for Health and Family Services, which includes social services, said in a statement that officials disagree with the verdict and are reviewing legal options.
“While the lawsuit alleges events that occurred during a prior administration, we are committed to supporting our employees and residents in the communities we serve,” the statement provided by spokeswoman Susan Dunlap said. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Jury-awards-social-worker-2M-for-retaliation-17304205.php | 2022-07-14T08:09:15Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Jury-awards-social-worker-2M-for-retaliation-17304205.php | false | 10 |

NEXTT CEO Arun Agarwal named as a Board of Director to Texas Economic Development Corporation
(Photo: Twitter/@arunatnextt)
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has named Arun Agarwal, Indian-American philanthropist and the CEO of a Dallas-based home textile company, to the Texas Economic Development Corporation's (TxEDC's) Board of Directors.
Governor Abbott tapped Agarwal, along with eight other Texas executives, to market the state nationally and globally to relocate a business and create new jobs.
Arun Agarwal is the CEO of home textile company NEXTT.
Apart from textiles, Agarwal also has business interests in cotton trading and real estate. Additionally, he is a board member of the US-India Friendship Council, Executive Board UT Dallas, Texas Tech Innovation HUB at Research Park, Big Brothers Big Sisters International and MD Anderson Board of Visitors.
He is also a volunteer for Chetna, a non-profit organisation to help victims of domestic violence, and the Living Dreams Foundation.
"This is a tremendous honour for the Indian-American diaspora in the United States," said Agarwal, who also serves as the chair of the India American CEO Council and president of the Dallas Parks and Recreation Board.
"The governor realises the tremendous power our community holds in this country as the hardest-working, highest-earning ethnic minority, and, together, we hope to make Texas the most successful hub for small and large business owners globally," he said.
An independently funded and operated nonprofit, the TxEDC works alongside the Texas Economic Development and Tourism Office in the Office of the Governor to market the state across the US and abroad as a place to relocate a business and create new jobs.

LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices fell on Thursday as investors weighed tight supplies against the prospect of a large U.S. rate hike that could stem inflation and curb crude demand.
Brent crude futures for September were down 18 cents to $99.39 a barrel at 0727 GMT after settling below $100 for the second straight session on Wednesday.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for August delivery was at $95.84 a barrel, down 43 cents.
Oil prices have tumbled in the past two weeks on recession concerns despite a drop in crude and refined products exports from Russia amid Western sanctions and supply disruption in Libya.
"It is all sentiment driven at the moment and that has caused most of the losses seen in oil markets over the last few weeks," said Howie Lee, an economist at Singapore's OCBC bank.
"I don't see any significant changes in oil supply fundamentals and that is probably why we still see Brent holding around the $100 level."
The U.S. Federal Reserve is seen ramping up its battle with 40-year high inflation with a supersized 100 basis points rate hike this month after a grim inflation report showed price pressures accelerating.
The Fed rate hike is expected to follow a similar surprise move by the Bank of Canada on Wednesday.
Investors also flocked to the dollar, often seen as a safe haven asset. The dollar index hit a 20-year high on Wednesday, which makes oil purchases more expensive for non-U.S. buyers. [USD/]
Worries of COVID-19 curbs in multiple Chinese cities to rein in new cases of a highly infectious subvariant have also kept a lid on oil prices.
China's daily crude oil imports in June sank to their lowest since July 2018, as refiners anticipated lockdown measures to curb demand, customs data showed on Wednesday.
Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration also point to slackening demand, with product supplied slumping to 18.7 million barrels per day, the lowest since June 2021. Crude inventories rose, bolstered by another big release from strategic reserves.
U.S. President Joe Biden will on Friday fly to Saudi Arabia, where he will attend a summit of Gulf allies and call for them to pump more oil.
However, spare capacity at the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is running low, with most of the producers pumping at maximum capacity, and it is unclear how much extra Saudi Arabia can bring into the market quickly.

Bridgerton Season 1 and 2 left fans asking for more. The popular Netflix show was loved by one and all and we are eagerly waiting for the third season. While many characters left their impression, Simon Basset particularly had all our attention in season 1. Played by Regé-Jean Page, Simon is Daphne Bridgerton's husband. His acting skills coupled with his steamy scenes bowled us over.
Recently, during an interview, Regé-Jean Page spoke about his character in the show and said that his character was a f***boy.
REGE JEAN PAGE SPEAKS ABOUT HIS BRIDGERTON CHARACTER
Regé-Jean Page in a conversation with Variety, spoke about his character Simon Basset in Bridgerton. He said that he would not mind if the writers recast his role as they move forward with the story. He said, "They’re free to do as they like. Shonda (Rhimes, executive producer on ‘Bridgerton) and I had a wonderful conversation at the end of Season 1. We were quite happy with how we stuck the landing on that one.”
He further said that his character in Bridgerton was horrific and a 'f***boy'. He said, “We did so well on that redemptive arc that people forget that Simon was kind of horrific. He was the best example of a Regency fuckboy that any of us had come across. And so, because we came around full circle so well, because we stuck that landing, you’re left with this great feeling. You really do have to be brave about ending stories like that.”
He also revealed that he had not watched the second season of Bridgerton.
ABOUR BRIDGERTON 2
Bridgerton Season 2 was released on March 25. Netflix had reported months back that the second season has knocked the show's first season out of the number one slot on Netflix's ranking. It is now one of the most popular English-language TV series of all time.

Houssem Aouar looks set to miss out on a dream switch to the Premier League - just two years after he saw a big-money move to Arsenal collapse.
Aouar is available for transfer this summer after running down his deal at Lyon, and the 24-year-old would prefer to join an English club. However, nobody from the top-flight appears to have Aouar on their radar, with Real Betis in pole position to land the Frenchman.
According to a new report from L’Équipe, the Spanish outfit have been pursuing Aouar for several months - and with the midfielder currently light on suitors, Betis' persistence could finally pay off. Aouar is open to moving to La Liga, but he is set to take his time with a decision over his future in the hope that Premier League interest could re-materialise.
There was reported interest from English clubs in Aouar earlier this summer; and there were even suggestions that the midfield man was available for a bargain €15million (£12.6m).
That sum is a far cry from the £55m that Lyon were demanding from suitors to acquire Aouar's services in the summer of 2020. Back then, Aouar's stock was at an all-time high - but interest in the Lyon star has significantly waned since.
Aouar revealed shortly after the saga that he was determined to take Lyon to the next level after coming through the youth ranks at the club. But staying put appears to have harmed his chances of gracing the Premier League.
Join the debate! Do you think that Aouar would still be a good signing for one of the Premier League's 'Big Six'? Let us know here.
Speaking on his decision to stay put back in 2020, Aouar said: "First because I feel that I could still bring things to this team and the club, it's that simple. I wanted to continue the adventure with the club that raised me. We now have to raise our heads because we have to do better."
After being linked with Aouar again last summer, Arsenal have seemingly ended their long-running flirtation with the midfielder; and are now, ironically, courting his Lyon teammate, Lucas Paqueta.
The Brazilian maestro has emerged as a top summer transfer target for Mikel Arteta, who is desperate to add more firepower to a team that came agonisingly close to ending their multi-year exile from the Champions League last term.
And with Paqueta now seemingly primed for a big summer switch to the Premier League, Aouar could be forced to watch on with envy from the sidelines unless something drastic changes in the coming days. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/arsenal-houssem-aouar-transfer-regret-27478538 | 2022-07-14T08:36:22Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/arsenal-houssem-aouar-transfer-regret-27478538 | true | 2 |
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been offered the chance to leave Manchester United and earn a whopping £211million in Saudi Arabia.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner wants out of Old Trafford this summer, having recently handed in a bombshell transfer request. While the Red Devils' lack of Champions League football is believed to be his main gripe, Ronaldo could take up an offer which would see leave Europe for the first time in his astonishing career and pocket a staggering £211m over two years in the Middle East.
While the 37-year-old continues to be absent from United's pre-season tour due to "family reasons," TVI News in his native Portugal - as cited by CNN - claim that an unnamed Saudi club have made a stunning bid to sign him. Ronaldo's salary would work out at £2m per week, more than five times what the global superstar currently earns in Manchester. To sweeten the unprecedented deal, the Saudi side are prepared to pay his long-time agent, Jorge Mendes, around £17m in commission.
It would also see the Red Devils receive a transfer fee worth £25.3m for Ronaldo, nearly double the £12.9m which they paid Juventus for his services last summer. United handed their superstar a £480,000 contract which has since plummeted to £360,000 thanks to their sixth-place finish last season, as the whole squad took a wage cut.
With the Red Devils set to compete in the Europa League next season under new manager Erik ten Hag, Ronaldo is unhappy with the club's predicament. His frustration has even allegedly resulted in him offering himself to Paris Saint-Germain - eternal rival Lionel Messi 's team - while Mendes attempts to engineer a move to fellow European heavyweights Chelsea or Bayern Munich, who both have reservations about signing the ex-Juventus talisman.
Despite the eye-watering numbers that Ronaldo has on the table, the former Real Madrid phenomenon is highly unlikely to accept the offer, having repeatedly expressed his desire to compete at the top of European football for years to come.
Have your say! Should Ronaldo accept the offer from Saudi Arabia? Click here to join the debate.
During UEFA 's 'The Best' ceremony in January, Ronaldo declared: "I still have the passion for the game. Not just to score goals, but to entertain myself because I played football since I was five or five or six years old. When I get on the pitch, even in training, I still enjoy it. My motivation is still there, even though I'm gonna be 37 soon.
"I feel good, I feel motivated. I've kept working hard since I was 18 years old and I continue. I love the game, I still have that passion and I want to continue. People ask me sometimes how many more years I'm going to play and I say, 'I hope to play four or five more years'. "It's all about mentally, because I thought if you treat your body good, when you're gonna need your body, it will give back."
Ten Hag still hopes that the United No.7 will change his mind, though, insisting that Ronaldo is "not for sale." Speaking to reporters in Thailand, the Dutch tactician added: "He is not with is and that is due to personal issues. But we are planning with Cristiano for this season, so that's it and I am looking forward to working with him.
"I spoke with him before this issue came up. I had a really good conversation with him, but that will stay between me and him. But Cristiano is not for sale. I spoke with him before this issue came up. I had a conversation with him and a real good talk. That is between Cristiano and me. Only what I can confirm is that we had a really good conversation together." | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/cristiano-ronaldo-manutd-saudi-mendes-27478551 | 2022-07-14T08:36:32Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/cristiano-ronaldo-manutd-saudi-mendes-27478551 | false | 2 |
Watch: Did Biden Just Admit He Doesn't Know Who POTUS is? Asks 'Where the Hell Is He?'
And the hits just keep on coming.
On Tuesday, the Biden administration hosted the White House Congressional Picnic at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It was the first time the shindig has been held for two years — meaning, of course, it’s Joe Biden’s first time as picnicker-in-chief.
He started off the event as only Joe Biden could: Joking (kind of) that he keeps forgetting he’s the president.
(The reason this is only kind of a joke is that it’s obvious to anyone with eyes or ears that the president is undergoing cognitive decline. Here at The Western Journal, we documented this long before he was the Democratic nominee — and warned America he was unfit for the job. We’ll keep sounding the siren. You can help us by subscribing.)
Biden’s opening act at the picnic was his wife, Jill Biden. (Sorry — Dr. Jill Biden. Keep on forgetting she got that Ed.D degree.) Jill’s remarks were pro forma hogwash, talk about how “there is something magical about” the White House and that it “reminds us that we are part of something that is so much bigger than one party or political movement or presidency.” On that last count, she apparently hasn’t heard her husband’s speeches lately.
Then she introduced the headliner, our current president. Usually, he goes for some variation on the “I’m Jill Biden’s husband” joke to break the ice at these sorts of events. Not this time, though. Instead, he went with this ill-advised bit of self-deprecation:
Biden: “Every time I hear ‘Hail to the Chief’ I wonder ‘Where the hell is he?'” pic.twitter.com/LwORvq1HiC
— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) July 12, 2022
“Every time I hear ‘Hail to the Chief,’ I wonder, where the hell is he?” Biden said.
“You think I’m joking, I’m not,” he continued, laughing at his own quip. “[I] turn around and say, ‘Where is the president?’”
Yeah, a lot of us do, too — and we’re not quite chuckling. It’s worth noting that, at least in the official White House audio of the event, “Hail to the Chief” couldn’t be heard playing as Jill Biden turned the mic over to her husband.
Maybe it was just playing in his head.
I don’t think it’s entirely necessary to explain why Joe Biden opening with a joke about forgetting he’s the president lands a bit like Woody Allen opening with a bit about how celebrating Father’s Day in his household gets confusing.
But, in case you need a refresher of the man’s recent history, let’s look back to Friday, when the president clearly read the instructions off the teleprompter as if they were part of his remarks:

Or let’s go back to April, where President Biden announced he was getting tough on Russian oligarchs by doing … well, whatever this was:
Is everything okay?

Or how about earlier in April, when he was clearly being guided around the White House Easter Egg Roll by Jill Biden and other handlers like an assisted living patient taking their weekly stroll around the lake:
“They’re not going to let me read at all,” Biden complains.

In fact, there’s ample evidence if you want to make the argument that, from time to time, he seriously doesn’t know he’s the president. Instead, he sometimes seems to think his veep is the one in charge:
Joe Biden again says the quiet part out loud: “President-elect Harris” pic.twitter.com/e6kSlwDlnr

He’d better hope that’s not the case, considering she’s one of the few Democrats polling lower than he is.
If there’s a kernel of truth in this joke, however, there’s an easy solution: We can stop confusing President Biden by simply substituting “Pop Goes the Weasel” for “Hail to the Chief” for the remainder of his term. Not only would we not run the risk of befogging the poor man’s psyche, it even feels a bit more apt.

Fleur de Lys townhouses kept out of UCA could face the axe
An application has been submitted to demolish two characteristic townhouses along Triq Fleur de Lys in Birkirkara, two blocks off the Carmelite church
An application has been submitted to demolish two characteristic townhouses along Triq Fleur de Lys in Birkirkara, two blocks off the Carmelite church.
The applicant, a turnkey contractor, will not preserve the facade but replace it with a typical blokc with aluminum apertures – two maisonettes, six apartments over five storeys, one of which receded.
If approved, the application would result in an extensive blank party wall overlooking neighbouring properties.
Residents fear the application could have a domino effect on the entire row of townhouses stretching along the road. Neighbours also expressed safety concerns on the proposed excavation of a garage level in close proximity to their old houses.
The row of townhouses, characterised by traditional balconies, staircases and porches, dates back to the 1930s but enjoys the same level of protection as any other building in the development zone because they were not part of the Urban Conservation Area in the local plans of 2006. All Maltese towns and villages have protected village cores, but the concept was not extended to historical neighbourhoods like Fleur de Lys in Birkirkara and Qui-Si-Sana in Sliema.
The decision not to designate Fleur de Lys as a UCA was questioned by the Superintendence for Cultural Heritage, when in 2021 it expressed “surprise and concern that the streetscape has not been given the protection due to the area as an Urban Conservation Area”, over a request for a garage and change of apertures on another property in the same street.
The SCH had described the row of early 20th century houses as one “with evident architectural and aesthetic qualities” set within a streetscape of “evident significance and legibility”. | https://www.maltatoday.com.mt/environment/townscapes/117758/fleur_de_lys_townhouses_kept_out_of_uca_could_face_the_axe | 2022-07-14T08:51:04Z | https://www.maltatoday.com.mt/environment/townscapes/117758/fleur_de_lys_townhouses_kept_out_of_uca_could_face_the_axe | false | 1 |
Georgetown [Guyana], July 14 (ANI): Spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Nasum Ahmed did well for Bangladesh, taking seven wickets collectively to help the visitors clinch the second ODI against West Indies here at Guyana National Stadium in Guyana on Wednesday.
With this, Bangla Tigers continued their fine form in 50-over cricket this year, winning three series in a row. They had won a series against Afghanistan and later claimed a historic series win against South Africa in their own territory. In this series, they are leading 2-0 with one more match to go.
Despite the absence of veteran tweaker Shakib Al Hasan, spin duo Mehidy Hasan Miraz (4/29) and Nasum Ahmed (3/19) combined for seven wickets in Guyana to ensure West Indies could only muster a disappointing total of 108 after they were sent in to bat by Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal.
Mossadek Hussain and Nasum Ahmed teamed up to send back the Caribbean top order consisting of Shai Hope (18), Kyle Myers (17) and Shamarh Brooks (5) to the pavilion before the side could even put fifty runs on the board.
Middler order batters Brandon King (11), skipper and wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran (0), Rovman Powell (13) departed without making much impact. Mehindy, Nasum and Shoriful Islam sent them back one by one and reduced the side to 6/72.
All-rounder Keemo Paul fought a lone battle, being the only one to cross the 20-run mark. He finished at 25* and West Indies were bundled out for 108 in 35 overs.
Mehidy took 4/29 in eight overs while Nasum Ahmed had 3/19 in ten overs. Shoriful and Mossadek got a wicket each.
The 109-run chase was easy for Bangladesh. Except for the dismissal of Najmul Hossain Shanto for 20 at the team's score of 48, there were no hiccups. Skipper Tamim Iqbal scored an unbeaten fifty and Litton Das (32*) supported him to take his team to the winning total with more than 29 overs to spare, by nine wickets.
Nasum Ahmed received the 'Man of the Match' award for his 3/19.
Brief Scores: West Indies: 108 in 35 overs (Keemo Paul 25*, Shai Hope 18, Mehidy Hasan Miraz 4/29) lost to Bangladesh: 112/1 in 20.4 overs (Tamim Iqbal 50*, Litton Das 32*, Gudakesh Motie 1/39) by nine wickets.

Students from these PU and degree colleges of Karnataka will be getting free laptops
The BBMP has 15 Pre-University and four Degree colleges with student strengths of 4,398 and 1,104, respectively
Students of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike PUC and Degree colleges will soon get laptops as Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has given the green signal to the proposal for free laptops at a cost of Rs 41.5 crore.
Confirming this, Palike Special Commissioner Ramprasat Manohar told The New Indian Express that soon tenders for the scheme will be called for. "To start with, we will distribute 5,000 laptops. Later, more students will be covered," he said.
The BBMP has 15 Pre-University and four Degree colleges with student strengths of 4,398 and 1,104, respectively. The Palike also has two post-graduate colleges with 71 students. SC/ST, Backward Class and Minority students will be eligible.
"The scheme is not limited to the BBMP. We will give laptops to students from government colleges as well. In all, 50 per cent of the scheme is reserved for women from SC/ST, Backward Class and Minority sections. The basic criteria are that they should be from an economically weaker section and their parents' income should not exceed above Rs 3 lakh per annum," said Manohar.
Education expert Sashikumar said the Palike should have invested more in infrastructure like setting up computer labs and replacing old desktops as well as hiring more teachers. "Giving laptops to only 5,000 may demotivate other students. At many computer centres of the Palike, there are no teachers and some cannot handle language programs like C+, Microsoft and others," he added. | https://www.edexlive.com/news/2022/jul/14/students-from-these-pu-and-degree-colleges-of-karnataka-will-be-getting-free-laptops-29912.html | 2022-07-14T09:11:57Z | https://www.edexlive.com/news/2022/jul/14/students-from-these-pu-and-degree-colleges-of-karnataka-will-be-getting-free-laptops-29912.html | true | 1 |
The Science Based Targets initiative has validated Illumina's targets to reach Net-Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050
SAN DIEGO, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN), a global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies, announced today it is among the first group of companies worldwide to receive approval of its net-zero targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This includes validation of Illumina's corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets by the organization.
The SBTi is a global body that enables businesses to set ambitious emissions reduction targets in line with the latest climate science. Its Net-Zero Standard is the world's first science-based certification of companies' net-zero targets in line with the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping planetary warming to 1.5°C.
"Illumina proudly joins the SBTi as the first genomics company in the world with a verified, science-based, net-zero target," said John Frank, Chief Public Affairs Officer of Illumina. "This approach will help us demonstrate that our long-term net-zero climate targets are credible, ambitious, and accountable."
Illumina SBTi-approved targets
- Net-Zero Target
- Near-Term Targets Commitments based on 2019 baseline levels
- Long-Term Target Commitments based on 2019 baseline levels
In October 2021, the SBTi launched the world's first Corporate Net-Zero Standard. In January 2022, it opened this certification to all companies, and Illumina was among the first to request verification of its net-zero target. Now, Illumina is among the first group of companies in the world to receive validation of its science-based targets.
"The SBTi Net-Zero Corporate Standard creates alignment and drives action," said Frank. "There is still much work to be done, but we have committed to the most ambitious level of climate action and we urge others to do the same."
"As a science-based organization, we are compelled to ensure our reduction targets are aligned and verified to a science-based approach," said Sharon Vidal, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Illumina. "The validation of our net-zero targets from the SBTi is vital to the integration of environmental stewardship into the fabric of our operations."
Illumina's net-zero progress and sustainability performance will be reported in the annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report.
Illumina's Climate Action Plan includes a $20 million philanthropic commitment to support initiatives dedicated to sustainability innovation and environmental justice, and goals to reduce water-use intensity and waste to landfill in direct operations.

South Kesteven District Council receives gold award for work with Forces community
More news, no ads
LEARN MORESouth Kesteven District Council has been awarded a gold award for its work with the Armed Forces community.
The council has received the Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award, which is for employers who commit to key responsibilities on housing and employment of service personnel.
SKDC received its Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award for outstanding support to the Armed Forces community, and it is one of only 18 organisations across the East Midlands to hold this status.
A spokesperson for the council said: "It is an honour for the district council to receive this award.
"South Kesteven has a proud military history and we take our responsibilities towards current and former Armed Forces personnel, and their families, extremely seriously.
"The award recognises our commitment to supporting them in every way that we can.
"A key part of our role is to inspire others to do the same, and we actively encourage businesses and other organisations to sign the Armed Forces Covenant, engage with the Employer Recognition Scheme and support our Armed Forces on all fronts."
To win an award, organisations must provide 10 extra paid days leave for Reservists and have supportive HR policies in place for veterans, Reserves, and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, as well as spouses and partners of those serving in the armed forces.
Organisations must also advocate the benefits of supporting those within the Armed Forces community by encouraging others to sign the Armed Forces Covenant and engage in the Employer Recognition Scheme.
Bruce Spencer, the Ministry of Defence's regional employer engagement director for the East Midlands added: "We are absolutely thrilled that so many local organisations have been recognised with this Gold Award.
"It has been a difficult couple of years and despite that, they have gone above and beyond to ensure our Armed Forces community is supported.
"They should be very proud of this significant achievement."
The Armed Forces community that SKDC supported includes:
- Those serving in HM Armed Forces or Armed Forces Reserves: the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Air Force and the Regular Army plus their constituent reserves.
- Ex-service personnel or veterans - those who have served at least one day in HM Armed Forces as a Regular or Reservist, or Merchant Mariners who were part of a legally sanctioned operation, this includes those who did National Service and the Home Guard.
- Their dependants including spouses, civil partners and children, but can, where appropriate, be extended to unmarried partners, parents and other family members.
- The bereaved - the immediate family of service personnel and ex-service personnel who have died, whether or not that death has any connection with service. | https://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/news/council-receives-gold-award-for-work-with-armed-forces-commu-9263681/ | 2022-07-14T09:18:58Z | https://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/news/council-receives-gold-award-for-work-with-armed-forces-commu-9263681/ | false | 1 |

It is also expected that besides the Kanwariyas, Lord Shiva's devotees from North India, South India, and Western India will start emerging from Monday onwards. Most of the devotees who appeared on the occasion of the first day of Shravan month felt delighted.
One of the devotees from Odisha, Nardeep Singh told ANI that he has come to have deity's 'darshan' on the very first day of the holy month of Sawan via road, as he has been very excited about the occasion since ever.
Another devotee Hemant Rao feels "fortunate enough" to have visited Kashi Vishwanath today.
Speaking about the importance of the occasion, one Bharat Pandey told ANI that the significance of worshipping Lord Shiva is always higher in this month, as compared to the one in the remaining 11 months.
"Starting from Guru Purnima to the Purnima of Raksha Bandhan, this 31-day festival is believed holiest,' Pandey said.
He further said that the priests stay most busy during this month.
"Since it is happening after a break of two years due to Corona, devotees are more excited to visit the deity and take the holy dip," he added.
During the month of Shravan, the devotees observe fasts on Mondays which are considered to be particularly auspicious days of the month. Lord Shiva is worshipped on Mondays throughout the year and the Mondays of this month are especially significant with the whole month being dedicated to the lord. The festival is celebrated predominantly in North India.
This year Sawan started on July 14 and will end on August 12. Four Mondays fall during this period- July 18, July 25, August 1, and August 8. (ANI)

Your cold is TWICE as likely to be Covid as new Omicron strain runs rampant, expert warns
EXPERTS have warned that if you suspect you have a cold, it’s actually twice as likely to be Covid.
It comes as a new Omicon strain runs rampant, capable of infecting people who already had Omicron earlier in the year.
The ZOE COVID Study estimates that Covid infections are the highest they have ever been in the UK.
It says there are almost 350,000 new daily symptomatic cases of Covid (which doesn’t include those that don’t have symptoms).
And one in 15 people in the UK are currently sick with the bug.
Professor Tim Spector, lead scientist on the study, said: “Covid is still rampant in the population.
“So much so, that if you have any cold-like symptoms at the moment it’s nearly twice as likely to be Covid as a cold.”
The study reveals that the most common symptoms experienced by those infected are a sore throat, headache, blocked or runny nose, and a cough.
Prof Spector continued: “Even if people have had a past infection and are fully vaccinated, people are still catching it.
“This is because there are multiple Covid variants coexisting at the same time (BA.2, BA.4 and BA.5).
Most read in Health
“The good news is that case numbers won’t rise indefinitely and we’re already seeing a slight drop in numbers day to day.
“Although we all want to make the most of the good weather, people will need to decide for themselves whether going to large events, working from the office or using busy public transport is worth the risk.”
Hospital admissions are rising and almost at the level seen in January and March - when previous Omicron variants caused outbreaks.
Almost 2,000 patients are being reported as Covid positive per day in England.
Deaths remain relatively low, at around 65 per day in England.
While Omicron sub-variants are considered to be super efficient at spreading, they are also believed to be milder.
It appears the new Omicron strains BA.4 and BA.5 also usually cause no more than a cold-like illness, although scientists are still working this out.
Experts have said it is difficult to tell, because there is such an extreme array of immunity in the population.
A leading American physician warned BA.5 had features of Delta.
Delta took hold in the UK in the spring/summer of 2021, which caused more severe disease than variants that came before.
Dr Eric Topol wrote in his newsletter Ground Truths that because of this, and BA.5’s “severity of immune evasion”, it is the “worst variant we have seen so far”.
The UK Health and Security Agency (UKHSA) said there is “currently no evidence that Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 cause more severe illness than previous variants”.
BA.4 and BA.5 make up more than half of cases in England after only being designated as “a variant of concern” in May.
UKHSA said BA.4 grows 19 per cent faster than the predecessor BA.2, which caused the spring 2022 wave.
But BA.5 is even quicker, growing 35 per cent faster than BA.2
Health chiefs have urged people to ensure their Covid vaccinations are up to date in light of the summer Covid wave.
Five million people aged 75 and over and those who are immunosuppressed should have got their booster over spring.
And NHS England is preparing for an autumn booster programme for those over the age of 65 and more vulnerable people. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/19196018/a-cold-twice-likely-covid-omicron-rampant/ | 2022-07-14T09:21:04Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/19196018/a-cold-twice-likely-covid-omicron-rampant/ | false | 3 |
WhatsApp is just another app to dabble in the world of stories/status that is visible to all your contacts and lets you share a photo, video or even a GIF. But soon WhatsApp could bring the option to add a voice note as your status for your profile.
The details of this update have been observed by WABetainfo this week, which says the feature is yet to be offered to the beta testers but could happen in the coming weeks.

The report says WhatsApp will have an option for users to record and upload the voice note as their WhatsApp Status, or they could even upload an existing audio file stored on their device. WhatsApp could offer the same privacy settings for your Status as it does with photos and videos.
You also get the assurance of end-to-end encryption of the messaging app, which makes sharing audio content through Status a lot safer. Voice has become a pivotal tool for social media apps these days, and even for WhatsApp, the ever-reliable voice note is now the go-to option for hands-free messaging for many users across the world.

Bringing voice notes to Status was always on the cards and the latest test suggests the platform will be getting the feature to its users very soon. As is the case, WhatsApp will bring the tool for its beta testers to start the formal process, and after clearing all the bugs and issues, prepare it for a wider global release. We are hopeful that WhatsApp brings this Status feature to both Android and iOS users.
WhatsApp is also busy adding new emojis to the platform, now that both Android and iOS are 31 new emojis which include the proper hi-five icon, along with a shaking head and a pink heart emoji.

Wests Tigers legend Benji Marshall will take the reins of the struggling team and coach it from 2025.
The club on Thursday announced Marshall has agreed to a five-year deal to be head coach of the Tigers. The first two will be as an assistant, and the last three will be as the main man.
The retired playmaker will work under Tim Sheens, who is confirmed as the new head coach following the mid-season sacking of Michael Maguire. Fellow club great Robbie Farah will also join the coaching staff.

Sheens coached the club in 2005 when the young Tigers stunned the NRL to win the premiership, led by Marshall and Scott Prince.
Marshall played 257 of his 346 NRL games in the black and orange strip of the western Sydney joint venture. He also played for the Dragons, Broncos, and Rabbitohs, as well as a brief foray into New Zealand rugby union.
He retired from playing after last year's grand final loss with South Sydney.
The Tigers haven't featured in NRL finals since 2011 - when Sheens was still in charge - and have churned through four head coaches since.

Maguire was the latest casualty, sensationally being shown the door in June, bizarrely eight months after the club hierarchy had the chance to remove him post-season, and opted not to.
"This is a very clear path forward for this club and we are delighted to have Tim, Benji and Robbie reunited for the next phase of our club's growth," Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe said.

The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation after Mo Farah admitted he had been trafficked into the UK as a child in a BBC documentary. The four-time Olympic champion says he came into the UK illegally under another child’s name after his father was killed in the civil war in Somalia.
Shortly after arriving, Mo was forced into domestic slavery with a married couple in Hounslow, having to cook and clean for other kids in his home in order to be fed. During the documentary which aired on Wednesday (June 13), Mo’s lawyer Alan Briddock, said that the sportsman was not likely to lose his citizenship because he was trafficked as a child.
Now the Met Police has opened an investigation and are “currently assessing the information available to them.”

A Met Police spokesperson said: “We are aware of reports in the media concerning Sir Mo Farah. No reports have been made to the MPS (Metropolitan Police Service) at this time. Specialist officers have opened an investigation and are currently assessing the available information.”
Sharing his story for the first time, Mo revealed the ordeal he faced like many others attempting to build a life in Britain during a time when immigration has become a polarising topic.
The Home Office confirmed that it would not take action against the athlete after he shared his story but many have hit out on social media stating that it was an example of “exceptionalism”.
Reacting to the documentary one user wrote: “A common reaction to Mo Farah telling his story is ‘we know and love him, he’s earned his citizenship and honours’. This is exceptionalism - most trafficked people will never ‘earn’ a place in British hearts. We need humanity and empathy for all,”
This was echoed by another who tweeted: “Sir Mo Farah would’ve been trafficked to Rwanda as a young adult if caught by Priti Patel. Hypocrites who want to be rid of ‘illegal’ trafficked refugees now claim him as British because of his Olympic gold… How many Farahs are deported to #Rwanda due to our racist/inhumane policy?,”
Writing on his Instagram ahead of the broadcast Mo said not “every child would have the easiest start in life” but that this could not stop them from achieving their dreams.
He wrote: “I’m so proud to have represented Great Britain and to have achieved what I have as a GB athlete. But, my proudest achievement will always be being a husband and father to my amazing family.
“I did this documentary for them, so they could understand more about the experiences that led us to becoming the family we are today. Not every child will have the easiest start in life, but that doesn’t mean they can’t go on to achieve their dreams.
“I hope you’ll all watch later and I can’t wait to hear what you think.”

No govt exists in Maha, where is Governor when rains are wreaking havoc in state, asks Sanjay Raut
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday claimed there is no government existing in Maharashtra at present as the Eknath Shinde-led dispensation is illegal, and asked where Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari is when rains are wreaking havoc in the state.
- Country:
- India
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday claimed there is no government existing in Maharashtra at present as the Eknath Shinde-led dispensation is ''illegal'', and asked where Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari is when rains are wreaking havoc in the state. Talking to reporters here, Raut said cholera has broken out in many parts of the state that has resulted in deaths.
''Maharashtra is again under a lockdown. Nearly 100 people have died due to floods,'' he said. According to the state government figures, 83 people died due to rain-related incidents between June 1 and July 10. These deaths were caused by incidents like floods, lightning strikes, landslides, falling of trees, and collapse of structures, among others, the state disaster management authority had said in a report.
On Wednesday, the state health department said 181 people have been infected with cholera, of whom five have died.
''In such a situation, no government exists in the state. There is no government in the state because this is an illegal government,'' Raut said.
''Where is our governor now? There is no government in the state, there is no cabinet,'' he said. The Shiv Sena insists that the new government has been illegally sworn in as the disqualification pleas of Shinde and the 39 rebel Sena MLAs are pending before the Supreme Court.
The 40 MLAs had rebelled against the party leadership, leading to the collapse of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the last week of June.
''Floods are wreaking havoc in the state. Where is the governor? He was guiding us till yesterday. Now, where is he? His guidance is now needed for the state,'' Raut said. The Rajya Sabha member said many Sena MLAs, who have switched sides, could be disqualified. The sword of disqualification is hanging over the rebel legislators, he said. The cabinet expansion has not taken place so far as the Supreme Court is yet to decide on the disqualification pleas of the MLAs filed by the party, the Sena MP added. ''Administering oath to (rebel) MLAs is not according to the Constitution. This is political corruption. The governor should not do anything against the Constitution,'' he said.

In a trading update, the group said build cost increases have escalated to between 9 per cent and 10 per cent, up from around 6 per cent over the year to the end of June. The surge is said to reflect “the impacts of escalating energy costs and fuel cost inflation in relation to transportation”.
Barratt recently announced a £1,000 bonus for 6,000 staff below senior management level as it looks to help workers with the cost-of-living crisis. The payment will be spread over six months, with the first being made in July.
It comes on top of a move announced earlier this year to bring forward a 5 per cent pay rise from July to April 1.
Despite the inflation pressures, the group said full-year underlying profits for the year to June 30 will be slightly better than expected as its house completions bounced back to levels seen before the coronavirus pandemic struck.
It now expects pre-tax profits of about £1.06bn for the year, which is slightly ahead of forecasts and up from £919.7 million posted in 2020-21.
Home completions returned to pre-pandemic levels, with 17,908 notched up over the year against 17,243 in 2020-21. Average private selling prices, meanwhile, rose to £341,000 from £325,500 the previous year.
The group told investors: “Looking forward, we recognise that significant macroeconomic uncertainties remain, most notably around rising inflation and interest rates and their consequent impacts on UK economic growth, employment, as well as consumer confidence and spending.”
It still expects to grow house sales by between 3 per cent and 5 per cent in the year to next June, assuming no major supply chain disruption or worsening of market conditions.
Chief executive David Thomas added: “While there are clearly macroeconomic uncertainties ahead, the housing market remains robust, our forward order book is strong and we have the resilience and flexibility to react to changes in the operating environment.”
Julie Palmer, a partner at business recovery specialist Begbies Traynor, said: “Despite a booming property market, 2022 has been a challenging year for the housebuilders with shares taking a hammering since January and the shockwave from the end of the stamp duty holiday continuing to resonate.
“While there is clearly still plenty of demand, and this update from Barratt reflects that, there are a number of significant concerns facing the sector right now, including supply chain issues for raw materials and the tight labour market.”
Richard Hunter, head of markets at investment platform Interactive Investor, noted: “Further out, the building blocks remain in place for further growth. There have been no suggestions from any of the main political parties that they wish to intervene given the overall housing shortage across the country, while mortgage availability remains plentiful and accessible by historical standards.
“However, the clouds which overhang the sector have had a fairly severe impact,” he added. | https://www.scotsman.com/business/housebuilder-barratt-faces-major-cost-hike-as-staff-get-cost-of-living-help-3767688 | 2022-07-14T09:30:14Z | https://www.scotsman.com/business/housebuilder-barratt-faces-major-cost-hike-as-staff-get-cost-of-living-help-3767688 | false | 1 |
On July 6 at the regular COVID-19 press conference, Beijing authorities reiterated the importance of getting vaccinated. They also stated that from July 11 onwards, those visiting places with large gatherings of people would have to show their vaccination record.

So, are places in the capital really checking vaccination records?
According to Xinhua, those visiting universities for senior citizens, indoor activity areas for the elderly and indoor fitness and leisure facilities for the elderly should get vaccinated “as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile, those who enter the following areas listed below “must” be vaccinated:
Training centers
Libraries
Museums
Movie theaters
Art galleries
Cultural centers
Sport centers
Gyms
Performance venues
Internet cafes
Those who can prove a legitimate vaccine exemption will be granted entry.
However, it seems that for now, entry into most places in the capital doesn’t require you to show proof of vaccination.
We called a Sanlitun gym who told us they have no specific rule about showing your vaccination status; a movie theatre who was confused by our asking about vaccine rules; and the 798 Art District who said vaccination is not a requirement for entry.
Two That’s employees said the gym they regularly visit in the Beijing CBD also doesn’t require to see vaccination status.
On the WeChat Official Account of the National Museum of China, it states nothing about vaccination requirements.
We recently rode the subway, and visited parks and malls without anyone requesting to see our vaccine records.
Why is this so?
It seems authorities responded to some residents’ concerns regarding vaccine rules becoming a little too strict. Beijing Daily quoted an official who said that as long as residents had a negative nucleic acid test result from within 72 hours and a green Beijing Health Kit (北京健康宝), as well as temperature check upon entry, they would be able to enter “all sorts of public areas.” These are the rules for entering most places in Beijing.
The document released by the State Council which included the vaccine requirements stressed that everyone over the age of 3 years old should get vaccinated, unless legitimate exemptions apply. However, it also stated that vaccines should be taken on the principle of informed and voluntary consent.
Another clue as to why almost nowhere in the capital requests to see your vaccine records may lie in a closer reading of the original vaccine rules issued on July 6.
Although it states that people “must” be vaccinated from July 11 onwards to enter areas with “large gatherings of people,” there is also some more nuanced language which suggests that vaccinations are not to become compulsory for entering most places.
For instance, those entering universities for senior citizens, indoor activity areas for the elderly and indoor fitness and leisure facilities for the elderly should get vaccinated “as soon as possible.” But of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean you must get jabbed to enter any of those places.
Moreover, Xinhua reports that those entering the other aforementioned places “must” get vaccinated. However, it is also states that said places would give priority booking to those who had been vaccinated – implying that non-vaccinated people can still enter but won’t have priority?
Regardless of your reading of the “rules,” the short answer to the question in the title is this: it’s pretty difficult to find places in Beijing that are actually checking vaccination records.
For now, most places still require a negative test result from within 72 hours, a green Beijing Health Kit and a normal temperature. You likely won’t be getting your vaccination records checked anytime soon, but don’t let that be a reason not to get jabbed.

Ninety-seven illegal items including drugs, firearms and stolen vehicles were confiscated when authorities served a search warrant and arrested two Brushcreek Township residents Tuesday.
Highland County Sheriff Donnie Barrera said the search warrant was served at a mobile home at 12358 Butters Road, where 27 drug items, 14 firearms and six vehicles, including a large amount of meth, a pickup truck that had been reported stolen from Pike County and a side-by-side UTV that had been reported stolen from Highland County, were confiscated.
Arrested were Richard Johnson, 50, and Kassie Brigner, 26, on first-degree felony charges of possession of drugs. The sheriff said both suspects lived at the residence, were at home when the search warrant was served, and were taken into custody without incident.
“We’re still working out a lot of it, but there will probably be a lot of other charges filed against them,” Barrera said.
Both Johnson and Brigner appeared Wednesday morning in Hillsboro Municipal Court where bond for both was set at $20,000. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 19 in municipal court.
Barrera said that in addition to sheriff’s office detectives and deputies, the Highland County Prosecutor’s Task Force and Greenfield Police Department assisted in executing the search warrant.
The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 937-393-1421.

‘We are in an interesting space’ – UEFA explains choice of Women’s Euro 2022 venues amid criticism
UEFA has explained the process of choosing venues for this summer’s Euros, following criticism of some of the stadia. Iceland midfielder Sara Bjork Gunarsdottir was one of the most vocal pre-tournament, describing it as “embarrassing” and “disrespectful” that her team will play their first two group games at Manchester City’s Academy stadium, which has a limited capacity of 4,700.
The Nordic nation’s first fixture there was subject to a stunt by one betting company asking why games could not be played at Etihad Stadium over the road.
However, UEFA believes the process it has for selecting the grounds for the tournament is “as close to” perfect as it could have been at the time they were chosen.
Editors' Picks
What has been said about the Women’s Euro venues?
Speaking on the Footballco Business Podcast just before the tournament began, Kayleigh Grieve, who works in women's football marketing and sponsorship at UEFA, explained the reasoning behind the stadia.
“Those associations that are bidding to host the tournament will make the proposals to us of which stadiums [will be used], based on a criteria we have in our bidding structure of who comes forward,” she said.
“So it’s not UEFA that goes in and solicits the stadiums we want, but we look at that together.
“We are in an interesting space. Clearly, the bidding for this tournament happened a number of years ago and the women's game has been evolving rapidly from there.
"So where do you put the pin in terms of what stadiums that you use is a very challenging thing for any federation taking this on now.
“From the [Football Association’s] perspective, this was their role to do this but from the process we went through with them, it was clear that it would be better to have a full, slightly smaller stadium or a medium sized stadium than having really low numbers in huge stadiums. The atmosphere just is very different.”
Grieve notes the “appetite for games growing”, mentioning the sell-out crowds at Camp Nou in particular, but admits “that's not the norm now, so we can't pretend to ourselves that that's going to be the norm and every game will be sold out”.
She also discussed the lack of “huge travelling fans” in women’s football as another factor.
“We know we have to generate the majority still of ticket sales from the local communities in the stadiums that we will go forward with for the tournament,” Grieve added.
“We have to get those stadiums and, more so, the cities to be invested and want this to come to their city. They need to be willing to invest in that experience for fans and in the marketing behind the games as well.
“These are all the factors that we're considering. Is it perfect? We don't know, but I think it's as close to it as we could possibly put a finger on at that moment in time when we had to make these decisions to get an idea of how we do create atmosphere at these games.”
What are the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 venues?
Wembley is the headline stadium for the tournament, the 90,000-seater venue hosting the final on July 31. Manchester United’s Old Trafford held the opening game between England and Austria, which welcomed a record-breaking attendance.
“What you can see in the strategy for this edition of the Women's Euro is certainly the showcase games, the opening and the closing, [we] went big and we’ve been proven right on that one because the ticket sales are all sold out there,” Grieve said.
“The England games clearly are in the slightly bigger stadiums in the group stages, at least, and have sold out along that route as well. Then we have some varying degrees of stadiums beyond that. There’s a variety in there.” | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/uefa-womens-euro-2022-venues-criticism-stadium-size/blt1c2c648ec645a8d0 | 2022-07-14T09:38:29Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/uefa-womens-euro-2022-venues-criticism-stadium-size/blt1c2c648ec645a8d0 | true | 11 |
In light of the global food crisis which has resulted from the Russian war on Ukraine, Israel announced yesterday that the price of regulated bread would rise by 20 per cent, the Economy and Industry Ministry said.
The decision is due to be approved today by the Finance Ministry's Price Committee and will come into effect on Sunday.
According to the Times of Israel, the price hike will include supervised bread products – sliced and unsliced white and wholemeal loaves.
Economy and Industry Minister Orna Barbivai stressed that basic bread products will still be under government supervision, preventing further price hikes by retailers.
"I intend to continue to work to improve the system and guidelines that relate to price hikes of supervised products," the Times of Israel reported Barbivai saying yesterday.
"I call on retail stores to consider a partial increase of the price of supervised bread so as to show some consideration for consumers," she said.
Barbivai added: "Supervised bread is a basic consumer good that provides many families with significant nutrition and as such must be available in every household."
She promised that "once the prices of raw materials go down again, I will pressure the Price Committee to lower the price of supervised bread."
This came two days after an announcement made by Israel Electric Corporation that electricity prices would rise by nearly ten per cent next month.

NEW YORK (AP) — Joy Harjo, who recently completed a three-year run as the country’s poet laureate, will have a picture book out next spring.
Random House Children’s Books announced Wednesday that Harjo’s “Remember,” adapted from her celebrated poem of the same name, is scheduled for March 21, 2023. The book will feature illustrations by the award-winning Michaela Goade.
“In simple and direct language, Harjo, a member of the Mvskoke Nation, urges readers to pay close attention to who they are, the world they were born into, and how all inhabitants on earth are connected,” the publisher’s announcement reads in part.
The poem “Remember,” published nearly 40 years ago, is a tribute to the cosmos and our place in it. Admirers of “Remember” extend beyond the poetry community: NASA announced last year that some lines were included in a plaque/time capsule on a spacecraft headed for the Trojan asteroids orbiting Jupiter.
“‘Remember’ is one of my earliest poems. It came together as I was first becoming a poet, and needed to remind myself about what mattered,” Harjo said in a statement. “Every one of us needs spiritual food for how to negotiate this life of struggles and beauty. The poem has a life of its own. This poem has accompanied me much of my life. It is on a spacecraft heading to Jupiter, it is a song, dances have been made of it, and it has been translated into my Mvskoke language.”
Harjo, 71, was the first Native American to serve as poet laureate. Earlier this week, the Library of Congress announced she would be succeeded by Ada Limón. Goade’s illustrations for Carole Lindstrom’s “We Are Water Protectors” brought her a Caldecott Medal in 2021, the first time a Native had received the prestigious children’s prize. | https://www.wlns.com/entertainment-news/joy-harjo-picture-book-remember-to-come-out-next-year/ | 2022-07-14T09:40:48Z | https://www.wlns.com/entertainment-news/joy-harjo-picture-book-remember-to-come-out-next-year/ | true | 33 |
ROME (AP) — Iran’s foreign minister insists that his country opposes Russia’s war against Ukraine but stayed vague Wednesday about whether Tehran’s military cooperation with Moscow would include sales of drones that could carry missiles.
Earlier in the war, Iran was criticized in the West for not condemning Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of neighboring Ukraine. But Wednesday in the Rome daily La Repubblica, Foreign Minister Hossein-Amir Abdollahian was quoted as saying that “we are against Russia’s military attack in Ukraine.”
Abdollahian arrived in Rome on Monday for a visit including meetings with Italian business officials and industrialists, as well as with the Italian foreign minister and Vatican officials.
The Iranian foreign minister was vague when asked about U.S. contentions that Russia is about to acquire Iranian drones that could transport missiles.
“We have various types of collaboration with Russia, including in the defense sector,” Abdollahian replied. “But we won’t help either of the sides involved in this war because we believe that it (the war) needs to be stopped.”
He went on to slam Western countries, saying their arms manufacturers want to sell weapons, adding: “We will avoid any action that could lead to an escalation, but we will work to stop the war.”
Nuclear talks with Iran have been at a standstill for months. Abdollahian in the interview contended that the negotiators have made progress on a draft agreement but that ” there are other questions to be faced.”
Pressed to elaborate, the minister replied: “We are asking for a strong economic guarantee. If a Western business signs a contract with its Iranian counterpart, it must have the certainty that its project will be realized and will be able to receive compensation.” The comment apparently referring to business deals affected by sanctions against Tehran.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, reported last month that Iran has 43 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity — a short step to 90%. Nonproliferation experts warn that’s enough fissile material for one nuclear weapon if Iran chose to pursue it.
However, Iran still would need to design a bomb and a delivery system for it, which could likely need months. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Tehran’s escalating nuclear work has raised alarms, and transparency is rapidly diminishing over its nuclear program. Last month Iran shut off more than two dozen IAEA monitoring cameras from nuclear-related sites across the country.
Asked about the cameras, Abdollahian denied that the Iranians shut them off, saying instead “we took them off the circuit” and insisting they were voluntarily installed.
“In whatever moment that the negotiations reach some result, we will bring back the 27 video cameras installed by IAEA inside our sites,” the minister said. | https://www.wlns.com/news/international/ap-international/iranian-envoy-is-vague-about-possible-drone-sales-to-russia/ | 2022-07-14T09:45:03Z | https://www.wlns.com/news/international/ap-international/iranian-envoy-is-vague-about-possible-drone-sales-to-russia/ | true | 45 |
MANKATO — You can’t go too early.
That’s one of the tips travel experts give for people traveling and encountering everything from flight cancellations to missed connections to absent luggage.
“If you can get onto my Facebook page, you’ll see I shared what a flight attendant recommended,” said Amber Pietan of North Mankato’s Amber Pietan Travel Agency. “If your trip is under eight hours, she recommends you drive.”
Pietan said she hasn’t seen a downturn in people traveling because of travel hassles. But she does advise her clients about how to reduce the headaches encountered while on a trip.
And with 23 years experience as a travel agent, Pietan knows the ins and outs of travel.
Avoid New York City altogether is one expert tip for travelers, as airports there are short on employees. “The hard part is they’ve had quite a few people retire with COVID, or let people go, and now they’re trying to rehire and train,” Pietan said. “And it’s just taking time.”
The old rule of arriving at your airport three hours ahead of boarding time for an international flight and two hours ahead for a domestic flight still holds true, she said.
However, some travelers have followed those rules and have still encountered delays.
Ann Clark, of rural St. Peter, arrived to the Minneapolis airport 2½ hours ahead of her flight on June 15, but with the extensive lines she barely boarded her plane in time.
“I feel really sorry for the staff at MSP who were there,” Clark said. “A tour group of 20 handicapped people showed up, and one poor clerk was handling everybody else.”
Jim and Nancy Armbruster, of Mankato, took a European trip in May and experienced “flight delays, missed connections and rerouting, which was typical for many of us on the tour,” Nancy said. “We were fortunate that our luggage arrived in Budapest along with us. On our trip home, one suitcase was delayed and was delivered a day later.
“We have traveled extensively over the years, and we generally respond to unexpected events with a sense of humor and a belief that things will work out,” Nancy said. “And so far, that has been the case. While we will continue to travel, we will likely postpone any further international travel until the COVID situation and current airline disruptions have improved.”
Clark has future trips planned and said she’s paying special attention to having plenty of time to make connecting flights. She said she and a friend agreed they would rather spend aimless hours at an airport, reading and people watching than running to catch a plane.
Other tips from traveling experts are to log onto your travel vendors’ websites ahead of time to check in. If you’re flying and then going on a cruise, Pietan said to check each vendor's app and log in.
“You’re pre-registering, you’re checking in,” Pietan said. “You’re giving them your passport information, your emergency contact information. It’s saving time. There’s quite a bit of stuff you can get typed in ahead of time and be ready to go for your trip.”
People are still eager to travel, especially after COVID halted travel plans in recent years. Many people have travel credits from 2020 to use yet, Pietan said.
“And there’s a couple of airlines I recommend they don’t go on,” she said, adding she wouldn’t name for this story but would share the information with her clients.
She also recommends people build in a cushion if they’re traveling to take a cruise. Even if you’re only headed to a port in Florida, go a day or two ahead of boarding, Pietan said.
And if you’re going on a European cruise, definitely build in a longer cushion, she said. In fact, she’s so strict about this rule that if clients dismiss her advice, she has them sign a waiver so she’s not held liable if they then miss their departure time on a cruise ship.
“It’s heartbreaking,” she said. “They didn’t make the ship, and the ship will leave without you.” | https://www.mankatofreepress.com/news/local_news/travel-takes-more-planning-than-usual/article_96631b32-0222-11ed-802b-4fbff990978c.html | 2022-07-14T09:47:07Z | https://www.mankatofreepress.com/news/local_news/travel-takes-more-planning-than-usual/article_96631b32-0222-11ed-802b-4fbff990978c.html | false | 1 |
Merewether's Jackson Baker bowed out in the elimination round of the J-Bay Open in South Africa on Thursday, losing to mate and countryman Callum Robson 12.93 to 10.4.
Robson led with an 8.17 two-wave total early and he pushed the tally to 10.5 with a 4.83.

Fellow Championship Tour rookie Baker found a quality wave approaching 15 minutes into the 45-minute heat to post a 5.23, which would have been higher if not for a fall at the finish.
Baker closed the gap with a 4.93, only for Robson to find a 5.93. It left Baker behind 11.6 to 10.16 and chasing a 6.37 heading into the last 15 minutes.
Both failed to improve their totals on one wave each before Baker celebrated a long, flowing ride inside the final six minutes. However, he gained only a 5.17 to leave him still needing a 6.37.
Robson put together his best ride in the final seconds, improving his tally with a 7.0.
Baker also lost to Robson in the same round at the most recent event, the Rio Pro. That was the first CT clash between them.
Robson was eighth on the world rankings before the contest and Baker was 21st. The Tahiti Pro from August 11 is the last event on the CT before the top-five finals to decide world champions.
On Wednesday, Baker was last in his opening round heat. It was just the second time in nine events this year he has failed to win his seeding round contest.
Australian Ethan Ewing won the round-one heat with a 14.34 total, beating Hawaiian Barron Mamiya (12.5) and Baker (6.3).

PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mexico (AP) — Opaque waiting lists at the Mexico border to gain a chance at obtaining asylum in the United States have persisted under President Joe Biden, leading many migrants to give up and cross illegally or languish for months in border towns.
U.S. preparations in late April to end pandemic-related limits on asylum led to the latest round of registering names. In Tijuana, an online registry run by advocacy group Al Otro Lado soared to about 50,000. In Piedras Negras, a migrant services center’s list ballooned to 2,000 before being halted.
Waiting lists were widely used under former President Donald Trump to deal with an increase in migrants from Mexico and Central America coming to the border, starting with large caravans in 2018. Circumstances are different now, but the process is similarly confusing. Migrants often don’t know how to sign up or that lists even exist.
The latest chaotic episodes come as a spike in border crossings has become a political flashpoint for Biden, with Republicans saying he’s not doing enough to stop them. At a meeting with Biden in Washington on Tuesday, Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador spoke of challenges that were brutally underscored by 53 migrants who died last month after being abandoned in a sweltering tractor-trailer in San Antonio.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection began taking 70 asylum-seekers a day in San Diego in late April — half chosen by Al Otro Lado, which prioritizes how long migrants have waited, and half by Border Angels, which selected from Tijuana migrant shelters.
The Biden administration says it prioritizes the most “vulnerable” — which may include LGTBQ migrants, those with severe medical conditions or those facing imminent physical danger in Mexico — but the criteria is vague and mysterious for many.
Nongovernmental organizations play a “critical role,” helping select migrants and communicating with U.S. authorities, CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus said in a recent interview.
“Is it a perfect system? Certainly not, but that has been a very important part of the equation, these relationships,” Magnus said.
When U.S. authorities told a small shelter in Ciudad Acuña that they wanted 26 families at the border crossing with Del Rio, Texas, false word spread that Magaly Pérez, director of the San Antonio Community Center, was managing a list.
“The next day we had 100 people at the door,” Pérez said. “The day after that we had 300 people. It spun out of control.”
Haphazard, often-dubious arrangements popped up along the border under Trump’s administration. In Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, a migrant shelter registered asylum-seekers by writing numbers on their arms with black ink. After widespread criticism, migrants instead were given numbered plastic wristbands, some of which were sold or given away.
In San Luis Rio Colorado, near Yuma, Arizona, an asylum-seeker who managed a list picked a successor when his number came up. In Piedras Negras, the city government named the owner of a local steakhouse to oversee its list.
The Biden administration maintained Trump’s policy of denying migrants a chance to seek asylum on grounds of preventing spread of COVID-19, and a federal judge’s order has kept the pandemic-related authority known as Title 42 authority in place after it was due to expire on May 23.
The U.S. grants some exemptions to Title 42, but the rule has been unevenly enforced by nationality, with single adults and families from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador most affected.
The U.S. accepted an average of 423 migrants a day at official crossings in May, 308 in March and 418 in February, according to court filings. April’s daily average of 1,614 was inflated by a temporary increase from Ukraine.
Migrants getting picked from Al Otro Lado’s list typically registered a year ago, Soraya Vazquez, deputy director of advocacy for the group’s office in Tijuana, said. The group also works remotely with migrants in Piedras Negras and other select other border cities.
A survey by the University of Texas’ Strauss Center tallied 27,135 names on waiting lists in eight Mexico border cities in May — before Al Otro Lado’s soared to about 50,000 by late June.
An orderly system will be critical if Title 42 ends, and CBP is exploring an online platform.
In Piedras Negras, Isis Peña, 45, of Honduras registered on Casa del Migrante’s short-lived waiting list on April 29. When she came for her interview five days later, she was told openings to claim asylum were no longer available. “We wanted someone to give us hope,” said Peña, who later crossed illegally to Eagle Pass with her 19- and 20-year-old sons and was expelled under Title 42.
Peña — whose family is now homeless and scrounging for food — latches on to frequent, unfounded rumors that the Biden administration is about to open the border.
“The information is very complicated, and the ways to access the system are very complicated,” said Edgar Rodriguez, Casa del Migrante’s legal advisor.
A lack of shelters means many of the roughly 300 largely Honduran migrants who line up for takeout hot breakfasts six mornings a week at Casa del Migrante sleep outside.
As a group of women waited for food in June, one joyfully shared a text message from an Al Otro Lado attorney: “Congratulations! You have been approved for humanitarian parole.” It included instructions to report to the Eagle Pass border crossing the next day at 5 a.m.
Kenia Carcamo, who was expelled from Eagle Pass under Title 42, never heard of the list.
“It’s a lucky roulette,” Carcamo said.
Joan Leiva, a gay man who fled persecution in Honduras, enrolled with Al Otro Lado in May and slept in a park in Ciudad Acuña until police kicked out migrants.
“We are adrift,” Leiva, 31, said. “We don’t know where to go to ask for information. No one tells us.” | https://www.woodtv.com/news/national/ap-us-news/asylum-wait-lists-at-us-border-frustrate-confuse-migrants/ | 2022-07-14T09:52:12Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/national/ap-us-news/asylum-wait-lists-at-us-border-frustrate-confuse-migrants/ | true | 34 |
Sri Lanka troops barricade Parliament against protesters
Troops in green military uniforms and camouflage vests arrived by armored personnel carriers at the parliament building, anticipating more protests after a group attempted to storm the entrance the previous day
Colombo: Military troops were moving Thursday to secure Sri Lanka’s parliament building against a takeover by protesters infuriated by the country’s economic collapse and the embattled president’s failure to resign a day after fleeing the country.
With the country sinking into political chaos, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his wife fled to the Maldives on Wednesday aboard an air force jet. He made the prime minister acting president in his absence — a move that further roiled passions among a public that blames Rajapaksa for an economic crisis that has caused severe shortages of food and fuel.
Rajapaksa had promised to resign by Wednesday night, and since Sri Lankan presidents are protected from arrest while in power it’s likely he planned his departure while he still had constitutional immunity and access to a military jet. It was unclear exactly where he was in the Maldives, an archipelago of hundreds of islands dotted with luxury tourist resorts, and where he planned to travel next.
Troops in green military uniforms and camouflage vests arrived by armored personnel carriers at the parliament building, anticipating more protests after a group attempted to storm the entrance the previous day, clashing with police who fended them off with tear gas and batons.
Some protesters posted videos on social media pleading with others not to storm the Parliament, fearing an escalation of violence.
On Wednesday, protesters who were undeterred by multiple rounds of tear gas scaled the walls to enter the office of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe as the crowd outside cheered in support and tossed water bottles to them. Protesters took turns posing at the prime minister's desk or stood on a rooftop terrace waving the Sri Lankan flag.
“We need both ... to go home,” said Supun Eranga, a 28-year-old civil servant in the crowd on Wednesday. “Ranil couldn’t deliver what he promised during his two months, so he should quit. All Ranil did was try to protect the Rajapaksas.”
Demonstrators also have crowded inside the presidential palace they began occupying over the weekend and are vowing to stay in both buildings to press their demands for a new government. Some set fire to Wickremesinghe’s private residence, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Wickremesinghe’s office has imposed a state of emergency giving broader powers to the military and police. Defense leaders have called for calm and cooperation with security forces — comments that have rankled some lawmakers who insist civilian leaders would be the ones to find a solution.
The protesters blame Rajapaksa and his powerful, dynastic family for leading the country into an economic abyss, but they are also furious with Wickremesinghe, whom they accuse of protecting the president. Many believe that his appointment in May alleviated pressure on Rajapaksa to resign.
Both leaders said after the protests escalated over the weekend that they would resign, but Wickremesinghe said he will not leave until a new government is in place. He has urged the speaker of Parliament to find a new prime minister agreeable to both the ruling and opposition parties.
It's unclear when that might happen since the opposition is deeply fractured. But assuming that Rajapaksa resigns as promised, Sri Lankan lawmakers have agreed to elect a new president on July 20 who will serve the remainder of Rajapaksa’s term, which ends in 2024. That person could potentially appoint a new prime minister, who would then have to be approved by Parliament.
The political impasse threatens to worsen the bankrupt nation’s economic collapse since the absence of an alternative government could delay a hoped-for bailout from the International Monetary Fund. In the meantime, the country is relying on aid from India and China.
Protesters accuse the president and his relatives of siphoning money from government coffers for years and Rajapaksa’s administration of hastening the country’s collapse by mismanaging the economy.
The family has denied the corruption allegations, but Rajapaksa acknowledged some of his policies contributed to the meltdown.
The shortages of basic necessities have sown despair among Sri Lanka’s 22 million people. The country’s rapid decline was all the more shocking because, before the recent crisis, the economy had been expanding, with a growing, comfortable middle class.
“Gotabaya resigning is one problem solved — but there are so many more,” said Bhasura Wickremesinghe, a 24-year-old student of maritime electrical engineering, who is not related to the prime minister.
He complained that Sri Lankan politics have been dominated for years by “old politicians” who all need to go. “Politics needs to be treated like a job — you need to have qualifications that get you hired, not because of what your last name is,” he said, referring to the Rajapaksa family.
After the president fled to the Maldives the whereabouts of other Rajapaksa family members who had served in the government were unclear.

Italy govt in crisis, may fall after ally backs out of trust vote: Report
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi's coalition government appeared close to collapse on Thursday after the 5-Star Movement, one of its members, said it would not take part in a parliamentary confidence vote.
Other coalition parties have warned that they will quit the government if 5-Star boycotts the vote in the Senate which is due later in the day, while Draghi himself said this week that he would not head an administration without the 5-Star on board.
The 5-Star decision plunges Italy into political uncertainty, risks undermining efforts to secure billions of euros in European Union funds, and could lead to early national elections in the autumn.
Italy is due to vote by the first half of next year and tensions have been rising between members of a coalition in place since early 2021 and straddling both sides of the political divide.
The prospect of a political crisis was felt in financial markets where Italian bond yields rose sharply, indicating investors demanding a higher premium to hold its debt, and shares fell.
After a day of intense party discussions, 5-Star leader Giuseppe Conte announced late Wednesday that it would not support the confidence motion, saying the government should be doing more to tackle growing social problems in the euro zone's third largest economy.
"I have a strong fear that September will be a time when many families will face the terrible choice of paying their electricity bill or buying food," he said, referring to a sharp spike in energy costs.
PRESIDENT COULD STEP IN
The prime minister said on Tuesday that if 5-Star stopped backing the government it would be up to President Sergio Mattarella to decide what to do next.
However Draghi, a former president of the European Central Bank, also said he would not be willing to lead a new government without 5-Star in the cabinet.
Two coalition parties, the rightist League and centre-left Democratic Party (PD), said on Wednesday that early elections were the most likely outcome if the government imploded.
Bringing forward the ballot to the autumn would be highly unusual in Italy because that is the time when governments traditionally draw up their budgets, which must be approved by the end of the year.
President Mattarella could try to persuade Draghi to stay on and put his government to another formal confidence vote in the coming days.
The president could also seek to appoint a new short-term leader to steer Italy to elections next year. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/italy-govt-in-crisis-may-fall-after-ally-backs-out-of-trust-vote-report-101657790284234-amp.html | 2022-07-14T10:02:03Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/italy-govt-in-crisis-may-fall-after-ally-backs-out-of-trust-vote-report-101657790284234-amp.html | true | 8 |
Dear Amy: A group of neighbors with a similar medical condition gather to support one another in a formal monthly setting.
Members would like to share their personal concerns and receive support.
However, one member in particular responds to everyone’s comment often with medical research, which doesn’t apply in every case.
Others in the group have expressed concern that she takes over the meetings. Someone suggested putting a time limit on individual responses, but this feels too structured.
Is there a way to make the point to the offender privately without causing bad feelings?
Tired of the Lectures
Dear Tired: Ideally, if your group had a coordinator, that person could redirect the meetings once they got derailed.
It sounds as if at least some of this medical information might be relevant to the group, and I think it would help to acknowledge that.
Support groups function best when members do a lot of listening, some commiserating and, finally, offer advice and resources to one another.
If this person’s monologues are driving you crazy, then — congratulations! — you get to address this with her.
Tell her, “I appreciate the amount of research you do, but I hope you agree with me that it’s also important that everyone be heard and emotionally supported. I believe that you tend to dominate the meetings, and it’s frustrating.”
Dear Amy: My cousin was living with and taking care of my mom near the end of my mom’s life.
My mother needed constant care. I was living hundreds of miles away at the time, so this was a good solution at the time.
In 2013, I moved back home to Florida to be with my mom for whatever time she had left.
I soon found out that my cousin was taking almost all of my mom’s SSI for herself. My cousin got $1,100 per month, leaving very little money for my mother’s use.
I finally removed my mom from her care, and my mom was happier for it. She died in 2014.
I just can’t forgive my cousin for the harm she caused and for taking advantage of someone who obviously cared for her.
My problem is that my other cousins and family members still talk to my cousin and treat her like she is part of the family. They say I’m being unreasonable for not forgiving her and letting it go.
I believe she was abusive toward my mother, financially and physically, but I can’t prove it.
Am I wrong for not wanting to forgive her for what she did?
Betrayed
Dear Betrayed: If you know that this family member abused your elderly mother, then your anger is justified. Why should you forgive this person?
From the tone of your question, it seems that this allegation against your cousin has not been disputed. Nor has your cousin acknowledged, explained, apologized, or asked for your forgiveness.
You don’t mention what the financial arrangement was with your cousin. I assume that it was not contractual, but more of a casual arrangement between family members, involving housing and other benefits for your cousin.
There is no excuse for your cousin’s behavior, and you might investigate any possible ways to pursue this legally.
I urge you to explore ways to forgive yourself for any guilt you might be feeling.
You liberated your mother from her challenging circumstances, and she was happier at the end of her life.
In my opinion, “moving on” would be you accepting that you cannot control these other family members. You cannot insist that they cut out this cousin. But they don’t live in your reality, and they don’t have the right to judge you for your residual anger.
Dear Amy: Why the hullabaloo about keeping photos of a long-ago ex? Why should “Charlie” have to get rid of them?
If he’s obsessing about these photos and hasn’t really moved on, I could see why the current wife is losing her mind with jealousy. Otherwise it’s completely benign. It’s his past, his memories.
My husband offered to get rid of his ex’s photos, and I told him absolutely not. She was a part of his life, and I don’t feel I’m in competition with her.
My teenage children get a glimpse into their father’s life as a teenager. It’s actually kind of cool.
She has his past. I have his future.
Not Threatened
Dear Not: I happen to agree with you, but I also see the point that other readers have raised: If these photos cause distress, Charlie should consider his wife’s feelings.

Judging success and failure in NHL free agency just hours after the market opened can be tricky, looking into the future to predict which moves will pan out — or not.
Looking back at the slew of signings on Wednesday, it seems relatively easy to identify at least one winner and a loser.
The Columbus Blue Jackets made the biggest splash, stunning the league by landing Johnny Gaudreau with a seven-year contract for $68.25 million.
Gaudreau, a first-team, all-NHL player last season rendered Calgary a loser when he informed the Flames on the eve of free agency that he was not signing their eight-year offer to stay.
Columbus added a 28-year-old, six-time All-Star in his prime. The diminutive and dynamic wing had career highs last season with 40 goals and 115 points, giving him 210 goals and 609 points in 602 games for the Flames.
The Blue Jackets instantly boosted their shot of making the playoffs, after not doing so the last two years, and improved their chances of advancing in the playoffs for just the second time since the franchise joined the league in 2000.
Calgary, meanwhile, will have to make some significant signings or trades to possibly make up for the loss of Gaudreau. If the Flames swing and miss this summer, they might be reminded of how bad it was before Gaudreau arrived, when they missed five straight postseasons.
Here’s a look at some teams that seemed to win, and lose, on the opening day of NHL free agency:
CAROLINA HURRICANES
The Hurricanes made a pair of power moves that should help the two-time defending division champions keep pace with Eastern Conference powers.
Carolina acquired 2017 Norris Trophy winner Brent Burns in a trade with San Jose and veteran winger Max Pacioretty in another trade, taking advantage of Vegas scrambling to manage its salary cap.
VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
After failing to make the playoffs for the first time in its five NHL seasons, Vegas had to unload a player it couldn’t afford to keep.
Pacioretty had 97 goals and 97 assists over four seasons with the Golden Knights, who will have a hard time replacing his production with a tight budget.
DETROIT RED WINGS
Steve Yzerman apparently ran out of patience. The Hall of Famer and former Red Wings captain ditched his plan to focus on drafting and developing players with a series of moves that may make the once-proud franchise relevant again.
Detroit signed center Andrew Copp to a $28.1 million, five-year contract, defenseman Ben Chiarot to a $19 million, four-year agreement, and a pair of wings to two-year deals: David Perron for $9.5 million and Dominik Kubalik for $5 million.
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
After a sixth straight first-round exit in the playoffs, Toronto lost its No. 1 goaltender, Jack Campbell, in free agency when he signed a $25 million, five-year contract with Edmonton.
The Maple Leafs simply don’t seem as sound in net. They gave goalie Ilya Samsonov a one-year deal to join Matt Murray, acquired from Ottawa just days earlier, and are counting on players who gave up three-plus goals a game last season.
WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Shooting to keep Alex Ovechkin’s championship window open as he nears his 37th birthday, Washington signed Stanley Cup-winning goaltender Darcy Kuemper to a five-year contract worth $26.25 million.
Kuemper had a career-best 37 wins in the regular season and won 10 playoff games for Colorado. He will be backed up by 28-year-old Charlie Lindgren, who signed a $3.3 million, three-year deal.
PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
Sitting out of the postseason for two straight years, for the first time since a four-year drought in the early 1990s, did not seem to inspire much change in Philadelphia.
With a chance to add much-needed talent, the most significant signing the Flyers made when free agency opened was giving forward Nicolas Deslauriers a four-year deal for $1.75 million per season. In 81 games last season in Anaheim and Minnesota, he had eight goals and five assists. The 31-year-old Deslauriers has never scored more than 10 goals.

For decades, U.S. companies have been making a significant omission in their financial statements: They’ve failed to recognize and disclose the full cost of climate change.
This matters not only for the planet’s future, but also for investors today. It makes some businesses look more profitable than they really are, and it prevents others from realizing the value of new and greener opportunities.

GENEVA (AP) — A cost-of-living crisis sparked in part by higher fuel and food prices is expected to hit women the hardest, the World Economic Forum reported Wednesday, pointing to a widening gender gap in the global labor force.
The Geneva-based think tank and event organizer, best known for hosting an annual gathering of elites in the Swiss Alpine town of Davos, says a hoped-for recovery from a ballooning gender gap hasn’t materialized as expected as the COVID-19 crisis has eased.
The forum estimates that it will now take 132 years — down from 136 — for the world to reach gender parity, which the organization defines around four main factors: salaries and economic opportunity, education, health, and political empowerment.
A breakdown by country gave top marks to Iceland, followed by several Nordic countries and New Zealand, as well as Rwanda, Nicaragua and Namibia. Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, came in 10th place in the report of 146 countries. Further down the list were the world’s biggest economies: the U.S. was at No. 27, China at No. 102 and Japan at No. 116.
Saadia Zahidi, managing director at the forum, say women have been disproportionately affected by the cost-of-living crisis following labor market losses during the pandemic and insufficient “care infrastructure” — such as for the elderly or children.
“In face of a weak recovery, government and business must make two sets of efforts: targeted policies to support women’s return to the workforce and women’s talent development in the industries of the future,” she said. “Otherwise, we risk eroding the gains of the last decades permanently and losing out on the future economic returns of diversity.”
The report, now in its 16th year, aims to track shocks to the labor market that can impact the gender gap.

Manila named as among world's best cities for 2022
MANILA, Philippines — Global media corporation Time Out has listed the Philippine capital of Manila as one of the best cities in the world for 2022 according to their fifth annual index for city dwellers.
For the annual poll, Time Out asked 20,000 users about their city's life post-pandemic, from the restaurants and bar scenes to the cultural aspects and nightlife. Key factors for the index were community spirit, resilience, walkability, good public transport and safety, and sustainability.
Manila was ranked as no. 36, between the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur and Greece's capital Athens. Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland, Chicago in the United States, Colombia's Medellín, and Amsterdam in the Netherlands made up the Top 5 out of 54.
The write-up for Manila mentions the overpopulation to traffic jams experienced in the city which the locals have embraced.
"The legacy of Chinese, Spanish and American influences makes Manila an underrated hub for art and culture, with unique customs and cuisine to boot," goes the write-up.
Time Out also said that Manila was the third-most resilient city in their index with 60% and "not a single respondent described the city as rude – instead, it was admired by many for the welcoming and infectious smiles of its people."
Apart from being the least rude city and its relatively high resiliency, Manila also received 78% positivity in regard to its nightlife and party scenes.

NEW YORK, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Spero Therapeutics, Inc. ("Spero" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SPRO) of a class action securities lawsuit.

SPRO investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
CASE DETAILS: The filed complaint alleges that defendants made false statements and/or concealed that: (i) the data submitted in support of the New Drug Application ("NDA") for the Company's product candidate, Tebipenem HBr, were insufficient to obtain approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"); (ii) accordingly, it was unlikely that the FDA would approve the Tebipenem HBr NDA in its current form; (iii) the foregoing would necessitate a significant workforce reduction and restructuring of Spero's operations; and (iv) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
WHAT'S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Spero during the relevant time frame, you have until July 25, 2022 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

Forgetting His Script, Biden Undercuts Bid To Avoid MBS Handshake
A not-so-sharp Joe Biden just blew a big hole in a White House scheme to avoid a politically embarrassing public handshake with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the man Biden says is responsible for murder - and the man who rules the country candidate Biden pledged to treat as a "pariah."
Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia this week has drawn fire from everyone from human rights activists to Jamal Khashoggi's widow to 9/11 victims. Khashoggi's fiancée says Biden committed to bring up his murder during his visit. Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and Washington Post writer, was lured to the Saudi consulate in Instanbul where he was murdered and dismembered. His body has never been found.
Given the criticism and the trip's glaring inconsistency with his own campaign promise, the White House was staring at a major public relations and diplomacy challenge—how can Biden avoid shaking Mohammed bin Salman's hand without creating a public humiliation?
They'd cooked up the perfect pretense. Out of an abundance of caution as the Covid-19 Omicron variant runs free and easily bypasses the purported protection of vaccines, Biden wouldn't shake hands with anyone during his trip, which started Wednesday with a visit to Saudi Arabia's under-the-counter ally, Israel.
Even the best plan has its vulnerabilities. The Achilles heel of this scheme was its reliance on Biden actually remembering it.
"It started off well, with Biden cautiously — if awkwardly — fist-bumping the Israel premier and several other officials after stepping off Air Force One in Tel Aviv," reports Bloomberg.
But then things quickly went off the rails. It started when Biden engaged in an extended handshake with former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Biden reportedly said, "You know I love you."
That profession can't be sincere, as the two have a contentious relationship. For one example, during a 2010 Biden visit to Israel, Netanyahu famously blindsided and embarrassed the then-vice president by announcing the construction of hundreds of new Jewish homes in contested East Jerusalem. Biden retaliated by making Netanyahu wait at length for a dinner meeting. If nothing else, Biden's profession of love today served as a warm-up for the humiliation that awaits Biden in Riyadh on Friday.
In what had to be intentional mischief, Netanyahu proceeded to tweet video that doesn't merely show the script-breaking handshake, but actually zooms in and isolates it in slow-motion:
כך מהנדסים תודעה pic.twitter.com/wKCBo1N0Ez
— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) July 13, 2022
The Netanyahu handshake was just the initial mental lapse. On his mandatory visit to Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, Biden "couldn't seem to stop [shaking hands] with other Israeli officials," reports Bloomberg.
And so, Biden's Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) meeting just grew more interesting. Let's hope the White House doesn't intend for Biden to fist-bump him...that would look awful chummy. | https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/forgetting-his-script-biden-undercuts-bid-avoid-mbs-handshake | 2022-07-14T10:23:01Z | https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/forgetting-his-script-biden-undercuts-bid-avoid-mbs-handshake | false | 1 |

Industry Leader Brings 30 Years' Experience from Goldman Sachs' Personal Financial Management, Fidelity, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank and American Express to Aquiline Capital-Backed RIA
Bernal Joins Recent Senior Executive Hires to Support SageView's Strategic Vision, Bolster Firm's Leadership at the Intersection of Wealth Management and Retirement Planning
Retirement Plan Consultants Andrew Ness and Cullen Reif Also Join SageView
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SageView Advisory Group ("SageView"), one of the nation's leading independent RIA firms, announced today it appointed Jorge Bernal as Chief Operating Officer as part of the fast-growing firm's plan for accelerating its growth as a provider of comprehensive wealth management solutions for individuals and families across the country.
Mr. Bernal will oversee all day-to-day operations and provide strategic leadership for SageView's shared services across more than 30 nationwide offices. He will be instrumental in setting and executing on the firm's strategic vision while maximizing scale and efficiency and ensuring an excellent client experience. Bernal reports to SageView's Founder and Chief Executive Officer Randy Long.
Mr. Long said, "I'm thrilled to have Jorge join our executive team of well-established and recognized retirement and wealth management leaders. His experience leading complex and diverse organizations and successful track record strengthen SageView's ability to deliver superior service and support for our advisors across our qualified retirement plan and wealth management teams."
SageView, with over $170 billion in retirement plan assets, is a longstanding leader in serving retirement plan sponsors across the country. Its wealth management business has grown to more than $4 billion via organic expansion and targeted acquisitions.
In January 2021, the company announced a strategic and financial partnership with Aquiline Capital Partners, a leading financial services and technology-focused private equity firm. Due in part to this partnership, SageView has acquired six firms since July 2021 and plans to continue its expansion through this year.
Mr. Bernal was previously a Managing Director and co-Head of Advisory Services for Goldman Sachs Personal Financial Management where he provided oversight and leadership to more than 250 national financial advisors who oversee approximately $35 billion in assets and generate approximately $250 million in annual revenue.
Prior to Goldman Sachs, Bernal was Chief Operating Officer for United Capital Financial Advisors and played a key role in its sale to Goldman Sachs. He was also a Senior Vice President at Fidelity Investments, a Managing Director at JP Morgan Chase, Vice President of Customer Service & Sales at Citibank and an Operations Manager at Deluxe Corp. He began his career at American Express where he was Supervisor on the Latin American Risk Management team.
Mr. Bernal received his bachelor's in Business Administration and International Management from High Point University in North Carolina. He holds FINRA Series 7, 24 and 63 licenses.
Expanded Wealth Management Industry Leadership
Mr. Bernal said, "I am excited to join SageView's impressive leadership team and be part of its growth momentum. I look forward to working with Randy and the team on delivering outcomes that meet SageView's strategic vision and offering clients the best in services."
Mr. Bernal is the latest in several key appointments at SageView. Jim Dario joined from TD Ameritrade in March as Head of Wealth Management. Tara Egan, formerly of Goldman Sachs, joined in May as Managing Director, Human Resources. In 2021, SageView hired Tony Notermann of Advisor Group as Chief Financial Officer and Jeremy Holly of LPL Financial as Chief Development and Integration Officer.
Retirement Plan Consulting Team Grows
Also joining SageView's Retirement Plan Consulting teams are Cullen Reif in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Andrew Ness in Richmond, Virginia.
Mr. Reif will be responsible for guiding investment committees in their fiduciary responsibilities, plan design strategy, building new client relationships and total plan fee benchmarking.
Jeff Gratton, Managing Director of SageView's Minneapolis, MN office, said, "We have known Cullen for many years and have been impressed with his retirement plan acumen and client relationship skills. He will help continue our trajectory while providing exceptional service to existing clients. We are proud to now have him on our team."
Mr. Ness is a nationally-recognized retirement plan consultant, with specific experience supporting tax-exempt Plan Sponsors and predominantly state retirement programs.
Nichole Labott, Managing Director of SageView's Richmond, Virginia office, said, "I'm thrilled to have Andrew as part of our team as an advisor who can provide expert advice to our clients and help us expand our reach. He will have an integral role in continuing our growth."

Nintendo acquires CG animation studio Dynamo Pictures
The acquisition is expected to close in October, and name Dynamo Pictures will be changed to “Nintendo Pictures.”
Nintendo has been quiet on the acquisition front compared to its rivals at Microsoft and Sony. Aside from smaller studios it has worked with in the past, Nintendo has primarily been happy to focus on making games internally and working with independent studios on projects like the upcoming Bayonetta 3. However, it seems that the Japanese Company is bringing other studios into their portfolio, but, in classic Nintendo fashion, it isn’t the studios people expect.
In a statement via its corporate Twitter account, Nintendo announced that it had acquired Dynamo Pictures. This visual content company has been involved in everything from video games to anime to film productions over the years. Dynamo Pictures are best known for its work on the latest Dragon Ball Super film and for providing motion capture technology to numerous games and movies.
It is a surprise acquisition for Nintendo, which has insisted for many years that its focus remains firmly on making video games. Nintendo and Dynamo Pictures have crossed paths before when working on Metroid: Other M and games in the Pikmin series. The deal is expected to finalize on Oct 3, with Dynamo Pictures being renamed Nintendo Pictures at that time.
According to a press release from Nintendo, Dynamo Pictures will be repurposed to “focus on development of visual content utilizing Nintendo IP,” which sounds like we could be getting more animated offerings starring the likes of Zelda, Mario, and Kirby. This roadmap would fit in with Nintendo’s desire to have more control over their IP than most video game companies, giving them greater oversight from start to finish.
While no direct announcement of future animated offerings of Nintendo characters has been made, it seems likely that the upcoming Mario movie isn’t the last time we’ll see of them on either the big or small screen. | https://www.gamepur.com/news/nintendo-acquires-cg-animation-studio-dynamo-pictures | 2022-07-14T10:31:36Z | https://www.gamepur.com/news/nintendo-acquires-cg-animation-studio-dynamo-pictures | false | 1 |

British MP calls for intl arrest warrant on President Rajapaksa
July 14, 2022 03:22 pm
The leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats, Ed Davey says the United Kingdom should work with the international partners to issue an arrest warrant on embattled President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
Addressing the House of Commons during the urgent debate on Sri Lanka, Mr Davey explained that this “horrible, appalling situation for the people of Sri Lanka has been brought about by the corruption of the Rajapaksa government, their populist and unfunded tax cuts and skyrocketing defence expenditure, their draconian police powers and the cronyism and corruption.”
He added that the United Kingdom should “work with the international partners for a full economic and political solution to support the democrats in Sri Lanka.”
MrDavey suggested an economic package with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and others to provide immediate support, as well as a political package that includes an international arrest warrant on embattled President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and “his cronies”. | http://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=83644 | 2022-07-14T10:40:27Z | http://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=83644 | true | null |
Consumers Share Which Expenses They Would Cut Back on Before Restaurants
ATLANTA, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In the midst of inflation, soaring energy and food costs and talks of a potential recession, restaurant meals remain a staple in consumer diets. On average, 40% of individual or family food budgets is spent on restaurants each month, according to Popmenu's nationwide survey of 1,002 consumers in May 2022. When ordering online, one-third (33%) of consumers spend $50 or more per order, on average.
Despite lingering concerns around the pandemic, more consumers are transitioning from delivery or takeout only to on-premise dining: 45% of consumers eat in restaurant dining rooms at least twice a week.
As budgets tighten, consumers said they are more likely to pull back on other purchases such as new clothes, travel and gym memberships before reducing their restaurant spending:
- New clothes – 44% of consumers
- Travel – 42%
- Gym membership – 33%
- Ride services (Uber, Lyft, taxis, etc) – 33%
- Streaming subscriptions (Netflix, Peacock, Hulu, Prime Video, etc) – 30%
- Other entertainment (movies, sports events, concerts) – 29%
- Personal grooming (hair/nail salon) – 27%
While the convenience and taste of professionally cooked cuisine certainly influence the reliance on restaurant dining, cost is also a factor. In a Q1 2022 study of 1,000 U.S. consumers, Popmenu found that 29% of consumers said that it's cheaper to order from restaurants than buy all the items needed to cook a meal; 27% said it costs roughly the same…without all the work.
Another reason why consumers enjoy restaurant dining is the special moments that often occur, whether planned or unplanned. In Popmenu's May 2022 survey, consumers reported experiencing the following at restaurants:
- Reunited with family and friends – 47%
- Made a new friend – 36%
- Met spouse or significant other – 26%
- Watched favorite team win a national championship – 25%
- Landed a job – 20%
- Signed a business deal – 18%
"Restaurants play an important role in everyday life, from making meals to making memories," said Brendan Sweeney, CEO and Co-founder of Popmenu. "While consumers are keeping a closer eye on economic trends and their overall spending, restaurant dining continues to account for a significant portion of their food budgets each month. Where they ultimately choose to spend their dollars is, in part, influenced by how much the restaurant is keeping consumers engaged through digital outreach and how frictionless the overall experience is both online and on-premise. Quality, convenience and value are top of mind."
Popmenu conducted a nationwide, anonymous survey of 1,002 U.S. consumers, ages 18 and older, from May 20 to May 21, 2022.
Popmenu specializes in transformative online and on-premise technologies that help restaurants increase brand visibility, guest engagement, revenue and profitability. The company is a leading innovator in digital marketing and ordering technology that works with over 10,000 independent restaurants and hospitality groups.

Kochi (Kerala) [India], July 14 (ANI): The Kerala High Court dismissed the bail plea of fake antique dealer Monson Mavunkal in sexual assault cases registered against him, which include a Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) case.
The bail pleas moved by Monson Mavunkal through his advocate contended that the "police was highly interested in the case and was prejudiced against the petitioner. Money, politics, and the police force are invested to throw the petitioner behind bars."

"In most financial crimes, the petitioner has been granted bail, thereby proving that this sexual assault case was nothing but a result of clear manipulation. Petitioner's family is devastated. His daughter's marriage has been called off after he was arrested. A final report on the matter has been filed so he will be released on bail," the plea said.
The Single Bench of Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas on Thursday observed that there is no merit in the bail pleas.
The first case of sexual assault was registered by a nurse who alleged that Monson raped her and threatened that her brother will be implicated in an NDPS case in 2018.
According to the complaint, this was continued till June 2019.
Monson Mavunkal was also accused in an infamous case of allegedly swindling crores of rupees by selling fake antiquities. He had pretended to be a collector of artefacts and relics over the last several years and cheated people to the tune of Rs 10 crore.
As per the report, Mavunkal claimed that his precious antique collection includes a throne of Tipu Sultan, the first edition of the Holy Bible, the books used by Maratha King Chhatrapati Shivaji, the last Mughal emperor Aurangazeb and Mysore Sultan Tipu Sultan.
He was arrested by the Crime Branch of Kerala Police on November 6, 2021, in the matter. (ANI)

Ukraine: Russian missile strike kills 12 south of Kyiv
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Russian missiles struck the city of Vinnytsia Thursday, killing 12 people and wounding 25 more in what Ukraine’s president called “an open act of terrorism” on the country’s civilian population in areas with no military value.
Ukraine’s national police said three missiles hit an office building and damaged nearby residential buildings in the city located southwest of the capital Kyiv. The missile strike ignited a fire that expanded to engulf 50 cars in an adjacent parking lot.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a child was among the dead. He suggested the attack was deliberately aimed at terrorizing civilians.
“Every day Russia is destroying the civilian population, killing Ukrainian children, directing missiles at civilian objects. Where there is no military (targets). What is it if not an open act of terrorism?” Zelenskyy wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
The Vinnytsia strike came after Ukraine’s presidential office reported the deaths of five civilians and the wounding of another eight in Russian attacks over the past day.

I’ve packed my fair share of school lunches. During the month of September, my daughter took a well-balanced (and very organized) stainless steel Bento Box complete with a silicone seal closure. By October, I got lazy and stopped the daily cleaning and started shoving the sandwich into a ZipLoc bag before throwing it in a zippered lunch bag. When the guilt kicked in, I compromised and bought 100% compostable sandwich bags.
I paid $5.99 for 50 compostable bags, even though 90 Ziploc bags cost $3.79 because it is a worthy investment. My daughter’s science teacher even noticed the bag and commented on it.
There was one problem; I could not open the bag without ripping it. After a week long battle, I switched to the easier-to-open bags.
Despite the rant, I’m not here to trash talk compostable materials. Advances in flexible film, like compostable and recycle-ready are crucial.
That said, we went back to using the compostable sandwich bags.
The reason? My eco-native, Gen Z daughter started making her own lunch, and she can open those compostable bags without a fight.
Now, that’s a win-win.
Reader, what are some sustainable materials that make you hopeful about the future?
Let me know.

Hong Kong police say 4 protesters arrested after year on the run
Hong Kong police said on Thursday they had arrested four men, wanted on charges stemming from mass pro-democracy protests in 2019, who had gone into hiding for over a year. Steve Li, with the police national security department, told reporters the four, aged 16-24, had been arrested in the countryside at dawn on Wednesday.
Hong Kong police said on Thursday they had arrested four men, wanted on charges stemming from mass pro-democracy protests in 2019, who had gone into hiding for over a year.
Steve Li, with the police national security department, told reporters the four, aged 16-24, had been arrested in the countryside at dawn on Wednesday. They had all faced rioting and illegal assembly charges but had failed to show up in court, leading to warrants being issued for their arrests.
Since late 2020 and early 2021, the men had holed up in various places including a windowless room in an industrial building, supported by a group of handlers, some of whom had since fled to the UK, Li said. "Because they knew the police were investigating their whereabouts, they kept changing their hiding place," Li told reporters. "They were placed in cardboard boxes and moved about, like cargo, to new hideouts."
Local media said the men had been en route to a speed boat at a remote pier that was bound for Taiwan and had been caught with Taiwan cash and multiple phone cards among other items. "We saw that all four of the men had long, unkempt hair, their bodies were very thin and they looked anguished and downcast," Li said.
One of the suspects, Tsang Chi-kin, 21, was brought into court on Thursday chained around the wrists and waist, sporting shoulder-length hair and dressed in black shorts. Tsang, a former high school student, was shot in the chest by police on Oct. 1 2019, only to be charged with rioting. He later sought asylum in the U.S. consulate but was rejected.
Hong Kong, a former British colony that reverted to Chinese rule in 1997, was embroiled by mass pro-democracy protests in 2019. Police have arrested over 10,000 people related to those demonstrations, leading to over 1,000 being jailed so far, according to rights groups and activists. Western governments have criticized authorities for clamping down on dissent, including through a China-imposed national security law. Authorities, however, say their enforcement actions have restored stability to the financial hub.

How to sleep: Doc shares forehead trick to get to sleep in the heat - 'nice little hack'
GETTING to sleep in this heat seems nigh on impossible but there are simple hacks that can help. According to sleep expert Doctor Nerina Ramlakhan, a "nice little" forehead hack can address your heat-induced sleep woes.
Sleep hacks: Expert advises on using menthol oils in the heat
Temperatures are raging this week in the UK and the worst is yet to come. The Met Office has extended an Amber Extreme heat warning, with temperatures set to build this weekend into early next week for much of England and Wales. A bad night's sleep is an inevitable casualty of such extreme weather but there are simple hacks that can help.
According to sleep expert and author of 'The Little Book of Sleep' Doctor Nerina Ramlakhan, there is a "nice little hack" that involves your forehead.
The sleep doc revealed the simple trick on GB News on Thursday.
"I use a menthol stick on my forehead," Doctor Ramlakhan divulged.
Once applied to her forehead, the sleep doc positions herself in front of her fan next to her bedside table.
This "often blows on to my forehead and that sensation of cooling when it hits the menthol on the forehead creates an impression that fools the body into thinking your body temperature is a bit lower".

This effect is due to the pineal gland, which "fools" the body into thinking your body temperature is a bit lower, said Doctor Ramlakhan.
According to the sleep expert, the pineal gland is what regulates your sleep cycle and melatonin production - processes which underpin sleep.
Doctor Ramlakhan brands this method a "nice little hack" for promoting sleep during the heat.
You can pick up a menthol stick from Boots for £2.60.

What else does the sleep doc advise?
Doctor Ramlakhan also keeps her curtains closed all day with the windows open.
"I blast through a bit of fresh air in the morning but during the day keep the curtains closed and the room dark and cool as much as possible," the doc revealed.
The NHS echoes this advice: "Close curtains on rooms that face the sun to keep indoor spaces cooler."
There are other simple tips you can try to optimise sleep in the heat.

Finding your ideal clothing level can also promote sleep during the heat.
"Some people prefer wearing pyjamas or sweats to bed, while others find sleeping nude or semi-nude more comfortable," notes the Sleep Foundation (SF).
The SF says to choose the sleeping attire that works best for you, "but keep in mind that thick, insulating bedclothes can elevate your body temperature and cause you to overheat in bed – especially on hot or humid nights".
It also recommends the following:
- Use a bedside fan
- Keep ice water within reach
- Freeze your pillowcases.
There are also some general sleep tips you can try all year round.
Getting into a daily routine is an effective remedy for sleep loss.
The NHS explains: "If you can wake up, wind down and go to bed around the same time each day, it will really help. Avoid napping too, if possible."
The health body adds: "Remember, your sleep routine starts before you actually get into bed, so build in time every evening to wind down – and try to switch off from your tech." | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1640412/how-to-sleep-in-the-heat-apply-menthol-stick-to-forehead | 2022-07-14T11:17:13Z | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1640412/how-to-sleep-in-the-heat-apply-menthol-stick-to-forehead | false | 1 |

Serial Entrepreneur and Executive Chairman of Happiest Minds, Ashok Soota on Thursday announced the launch of his latest entrepreneurial venture 'Happiest Health', a global health and wellness knowledge enterprise. Happiest Health will aim to be recognised amongst the top two trusted and credible sources of knowledge on health and wellness globally, while driving thought leadership for integrated medicine and gentler, kinder therapies, it said in a statement. This is Soota's second commitment to the health and wellness space, having launched 'SKAN' last year, a not-for-profit medical research trust that focuses on aging and neurological disorders. Speaking at the launch, Soota, Executive Chairman, Happiest Health, said Happiest Health owes its genesis to a cognisance that globally healthcare knowledge is merely about repetitive factual information that may not necessarily answer concerns of a common person or provide in-depth, coherent understanding on complex health and wellness issues. ''We want to become global leaders of health and wellness knowledge and position ourselves as Happiness and Wellness Evangelists,'' he said. Soota added: ''Through Happiest Health, we want to build the importance of integrated medicine, provide valuable knowledge through experts on early diagnosis and evidence-based therapies and do so with empathy and passion.” PTI RS SS SS

Kottayam: A 21-year-old student who tried to take her own life by jumping off her college building succumbed to injuries on Thursday.
It was on Monday that Devika Murali, a third-year Sociology graduate, decided to end her life. She jumped off the third floor of her college building here in the city.
Whilst undergoing treatment, the woman, a native of Pandalam, had reportedly told the police that she committed the act owing to mental difficulties.

Beth Kenny is immunocompromised but found a routine that worked for their family during the pandemic, leaning into safe protocols to protect themselves from COVID-19.
Kenny's wife could pick up the groceries, and social distancing measures and vaccines allowed their family to do activities together outside safely. And the precautions helped Kenny's wife safely ride the bus and go to the library with their child Vyla without putting their family's health at risk.
The sense of safety the routine provided them during all this time came to an end in February, when the mask mandate for indoor spaces ended in their home state of California.
Now, nearly the entire country has lifted COVID-19 safety precautions such as mask mandates on buses and airplanes and in restaurants and other indoor settings.
Safety precautions have been rescinded as many try to to return to a sense of pre-pandemic normalcy. But the reality of disabled and immunocompromised people remains forgotten, causing them to feel left behind and further pushed out of society, disability advocates say.
Kenny and their family used to be able to participate safely in both indoor and outdoor activities when the mask mandates were in place. Eventually, it became apparent that swim lessons were needed for Vyla, who has autism.
Due to the COVID protocols that were in place at the facility and in other places within their community, Kenny's wife was able to take Vyla to her swim lessons, go to the library, and ride the bus throughout town. They even found an outdoor preschool that allowed Vyla to safely continue her education.
Now, their family is locked inside once again, and Kenny struggles to explain the reality to their child.
"The damage that it's caused to my family is [that] my child is having nightmares about my death," Kenny told NPR over Zoom. "This started after mask mandates were removed because we really had to pull back from a lot of activities, and explaining why we had to do that is scary for a 4-year-old to have to take on."
How COVID is measured makes it difficult for immunocompromised people to assess risks
Back in March, Jay Justice had been invited to speak on accessibility at the Game Developers Conference (GDC), an annual event for video game developers. Justice is director of LGBT HQ, a group that supports queer writers, artists, creators and developers in comics and gaming.
Traveling from her home in the Bronx to San Francisco for the event as an immunocompromised person was only feasible because of the mask mandates on planes. This was not long before U.S. airlines announced that masks would not be required for travel.
Fifty-seven percent of disabled people believe that masks should be required on public transportation and 64% think masks should be required on planes, according to a survey of likely voters conducted in April by Data For Progress, a progressive think tank and political advocacy group. However, mask mandates have been lifted on various forms of transportation and in other parts of society amid court rulings and declining cases reported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
In March, the CDC began determining COVID-19 community levels based on new hospital COVID admissions and the percentage of beds occupied by COVID patients. But hospitalization data is a lagging indicator of how much COVD-19 is spreading in the community. Matthew Cortland, a senior fellow at Data for Progress, notes that when someone gets COVID-19, it doesn't cause them to become sick immediately, and they may spread it to other people before they're symptomatic or become sick enough to require hospitalization.
"If you're using that hospital data for your public health interventions, you're always going to be behind the curve, you're always going to be playing catch-up. And with a disease like COVID that can spread so easily and rapidly, that means if you're behind the curve, there's going to be uncontrolled spread," Cortland tells NPR.
Cortland points out that public transit is a vital lifeline for disabled and immunocompromised people, as it connects them to doctors, grocery stores, and other aspects of society. But because of the new way COVID-19 levels are measured, along with the lifting of mask mandates, disabled and immunocompromised people say they feel it's too risky to safely go out.
That applies to even a seemingly simple task. For instance, since getting back from the convention in San Francisco Justice hasn't been able to go to her storage unit to put her stuff from the trip away because of how quickly the mandates had been lifted.
"All we're really asking for is for a masking policy that will allow us to be able to go to the store, to go to the doctor, go get the mail, without risking [our health]," Justice said. "One-way masking does not work, and no one seems to care outside of our community because they don't see you as someone who needs to be protected. They see you as someone who's just on borrowed time as it is."
The GDC conference offered a hybrid format including remote video access, but Justice said she ended up attending in person because of the lack of opportunities that would follow if she didn't. She said that when you hold multiple marginalized identities, people already don't see you as a hiring opportunity.
"It is absolutely demoralizing to feel like if I hadn't risked my health, I wouldn't have had the opportunities that I've gotten. I preach constantly, that you have value outside of capitalism, but it is so hard to push against the constant reinforcement that we don't," Justice said.
"I easily could have gotten COVID and died at GDC," she added. "I don't want to die for capitalism. But at the same time, my actions have to reinforce the issue, because if I don't, how am I gonna pay for my medication?"
Disability advocates say putting the economy first cuts the odds of renewing COVID safety measures
Disability rights advocate Imani Barbarin said economic pressures — including the push to get people to return to their offices — are contributing to the constantly changing COVID policies.
She notes that with the decades of exponential growth in the economy, many don't care about people being expendable tools for labor.
"Even if you think of bodies and people as machines for labor, you have to set the time aside for maintenance. And as a society, we don't want to do that," Barbarin told NPR over Zoom.
"We want to keep chugging along [and] return to normal. We can't keep treating people like this and expect progress and continuous upward trends in economics and economic policy, if you don't take care of people first," she said.
Cortland says that to break this cycle of back-and-forth policies and actually stop the spread of COVID, people need to keep wearing N95 masks and invest in indoor air filtration. Additionally, they said that Congress or states should allocate money for wastewater data monitoring, which can provide more accurate data on COVID-19 community levels.
"When you pursue pandemic policies that keep people like me — people with chronic illness and disabilities and who are immunocompromised — safe, you protect everyone because if we're safe, everyone is safe," Cortland said. "We do not need to be locked into this cycle of preventable suffering and death."
People within the disability community, such as Kenny, have actively worked to break the cycle and advocate for the return of COVID safety policies. Kenny is a member of Senior and Disability Action (SDA), a San Francisco-based organization that mobilizes and educates seniors and disabled people to fight for individual rights and social justice. This year, Kenny said that SDA has been meeting with public health officials and transit health officials to push for mask requirements.
Currently, AC Transit, a Bay Area public transit agency, has a mask requirement in place, but Kenny wonders how long it will remain. On June 25, Alameda County undid indoor mask requirements despite still being in the "high risk" category as defined by the CDC. Although some officials have been receptive to SDA's work and goal of reinstating mask mandates, Kenny said that many who have the power to change these policies are resistant.
Barbarin says that the frequently changes in messaging of COVID mitigation policies has resulted in people thinking that it's all a personal choice. Public health has become about personal responsibility, Kenny said, and that benefits the people who have the most resources.
"I think there is an understanding that seniors and high-risk folks are being lost to the virus, and there is an acceptance of that," Kenny said. "But I think people don't want to look too hard at it, and maybe they're losing the thread that they're just one COVID infection away from being in my shoes, and being as disposable as people with preexisting conditions are under the current COVID policies."
Disabled people say they are being disregarded even as their numbers grow due to long COVID
The number of disabled people in the U.S. is predicted to increase as more people get infected with the virus.
According to a recent study released by the CDC, one in five adults under the age of 65 who had COVID are experiencing at least one health condition that could be considered long COVID.
As the number of people who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 increases, so will the number of survivors suffering from post-COVID conditions. "I'm proud to be a person with disabilities. But I don't want to see our numbers growing so fast," Kenny said.
Barbarin said she believes this loop of loosening and reinstating COVID policies will continue until the most privileged communities feel the effects. "I don't really think we're gonna get to a place where we're more steadfast in our COVID mitigation unless the majority of the most privileged people are impacted by COVID and by these policies ... because our system is built to protect some and let others die," she said.
This issue has been brought back into light, especially with disabled people wanting to take part in protests regarding bodily autonomy. With the overturn of Roe v. Wade, the disability community has vocalized the ways that the Supreme Court decision will impact their community. However, without mask and social distancing requirements those who are immunocompromised and disabled can't safely attend the protests.
"I just want everyone to be safe," Justice said. "But I know that the world is moving on without the sense of safety, the United States has moved on and does not provide safety for anybody. It feels like an uphill battle constantly fighting for someone, anyone to care."

Technical Product Documentation (TPD) - General Requirements of Mechanical Product Digital Manuals developed under the leadership of XCMG celebrates its third anniversary
XUZHOU, China, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The international standard ISO 21600 Technical Product Documentation (TPD) - General Requirements of Mechanical Product Digital Manuals ("the Standard"), developed under the aegis of XCMG (SHE:000425), global top three construction machinery manufacturer, has been serving as a guideline for everything and anything mechanical for over three years, generates over billions of yuan in indirect economic benefits annually. The world's first international standard on digital documentation for mechanical products has seen application in the R&D, operation and maintenance of a variety of equipment now in use throughout the construction machinery, aerospace, high-speed railway and military sectors.
With the Standard, production efficiency of equipment made following the guidelines of related manuals has been improved by over 300% while the quality of such manuals has been significantly improved, creating tens of millions of yuan in direct economic benefits annually. The set of requirements, once released, has been adopted by the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and several other countries as a national standard, as well as by the EU as the standard basis for digital document requirements and is expected to be included in the EU Machinery Directive in the near future.
"The Standard, for the first time worldwide, stipulates the process and method of developing digital manuals as well as the expression and transformation methods of three-dimensional information while integrating several data requirements, including data elements and modules, providing a set of systematic solutions for the development of global digital manuals," said Wang Min, Chairman and CEO of XCMG. "The solutions are available for the application and implementation of digital manuals throughout the life cycle of mechanical products."
As part of the development process, the project team coordinated the relationship between the Standard and ISO/IEC 82079 by applying to join the JWG16 working group with the intent of establishing and defining the boundary and reference relation between both standards. Joining GWG 16 facilitated the team's contacting relevant experts and answering their questions one by one through meetings and emails in order to get their support for the Standard.
At the same time, a number of notable international experts in the field of digital research were invited by XCMG to participate in specialized technical discussions on the Standard. Following unanimous recognition by experts from various countries around the world, the Standard was successfully developed and released as planned.
The Standard was derived from three key technologies: the 3D model-based service information expression technology that enables 3D visualization of the content in digital manuals; the heterogeneous system integration technology that allows for unique linking between each product and the corresponding electronic files; the electronic template mapping technology that enables one-time production and repeated use. The Standard has also significantly improved the guidance for the engineering application of digital manuals by providing a standardized method and path for the development, application and management of such manuals.
The project team has obtained three national invention patents, registered 10 software copyrights and published two papers on extended intelligence (EI) through research into the technologies used by the Standard.
As of June 2022, XCMG had formulated and released five national standards as well as 241 national and industry standards thanks to its long-term commitment to building digital and information technology capabilities alongside its competence in digital management control.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lankan protesters began to retreat from government buildings they had seized and military troops reinforced security at the Parliament on Thursday, establishing a tenuous calm in a country in both economic meltdown and political limbo.
Embattled President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled a day earlier under pressure from protesters furious over the island nation’s economic collapse. But he failed to resign as promised — and further angered the crowds by making his prime minister acting leader.
Protesters want both men out and a unity government in to address the economic calamity that has triggered widespread shortages of food, fuel and other necessities. But with a fractured opposition and confusion over who was in charge, a solution seemed no closer following Rajapaksa’s departure. Adding to confusion, the president was still on the move, leaving the Maldives for Singapore on Thursday, according to an official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
People are also reading…
Rajapaksa and his wife fled Sri Lanka early Wednesday aboard an air force plane as protesters were taking over government buildings to demand he resign. Rajapaksa promised over the weekend he would do so, but instead he named his prime minister acting president in his absence.
Meanwhile Thursday, the government announced a curfew in the capital Colombo and its suburbs to run until 5 a.m. Friday and protesters were withdrawing from the presidential palace after occupying it during the weekend. Some were seen unrolling a red carpet in the palace as they left.
Anticipating more protests after a group attempted to storm the Parliament’s entrance a day earlier, troops in green military uniforms and camouflage vests arrived by armored personnel carriers Thursday to reinforce barricades around the building.
Some protesters had posted videos on social media pleading with others not to storm the Parliament, fearing an escalation of violence.
Protest leader Devinda Kodagode told The Associated Press they were vacating official buildings after the Parliament speaker said he was seeking legal options to consider since Rajapaksa left without submitting his resignation letter as promised.
The protesters accuse the president and his powerful political family of siphoning money from government coffers for years and Rajapaksa’s administration of hastening the country’s collapse by mismanaging the economy. The family has denied the corruption allegations, but Rajapaksa acknowledged some of his policies contributed to the meltdown.
It was not immediately clear what Rajapaksa’s destination would be. A Maldives official initially indicated he planned to travel onward to Saudi Arabia, but later could only confirm his first stop in Singapore. Since Sri Lankan presidents are protected from arrest while in power it’s likely Rajapaksa planned his departure while he still had constitutional immunity and access to a military jet.
On Wednesday, protesters undeterred by multiple rounds of tear gas scaled the walls to enter the office of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe as the crowd outside cheered in support and tossed water bottles to them. Protesters took turns posing at the prime minister's desk or stood on a rooftop terrace waving the Sri Lankan flag.
Amid the mounting chaos, Wickremesinghe’s office imposed a state of emergency giving broader powers to the military and police. Defense leaders have called for calm and cooperation with security forces — comments that have rankled some lawmakers who insist civilian leaders would be the ones to find a solution.
The protesters blame the Rajapaksas for leading the country into an economic abyss, but they are also furious with Wickremesinghe. They believe he has protected the president and that his appointment in May alleviated pressure on Rajapaksa to resign.
Wickremesinghe also has said he will resign, but not until a new government is in place. He has urged the speaker of Parliament to find a new prime minister agreeable to both the ruling and opposition parties.
It's unclear when that might happen since the opposition is deeply fractured. But assuming that Rajapaksa resigns as promised, Sri Lankan lawmakers have agreed to elect a new president on July 20 who will serve the remainder of Rajapaksa’s term, which ends in 2024. That person could potentially appoint a new prime minister, who would then have to be approved by Parliament.
The political impasse threatens to worsen the bankrupt nation’s economic collapse since the absence of an alternative government could delay a hoped-for bailout from the International Monetary Fund. In the meantime, the country is relying on aid from India and China.
The shortages of basic necessities have sown despair among Sri Lanka’s 22 million people. The country’s rapid decline was all the more shocking because, before the recent crisis, the economy had been expanding, with a growing, comfortable middle class.
“Gotabaya resigning is one problem solved — but there are so many more,” said Bhasura Wickremesinghe, a 24-year-old student of maritime electrical engineering, who is not related to the prime minister.
He complained that Sri Lankan politics have been dominated for years by “old politicians” who all need to go. “Politics needs to be treated like a job — you need to have qualifications that get you hired, not because of what your last name is,” he said, referring to the Rajapaksa family.
After the president fled to the Maldives the whereabouts of other Rajapaksa family members who had served in the government were unclear.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The wails pierced the walls of the walk-in clinic tucked among rundown homes in the heart of Venezuela’s capital. Artemis Parra got one vaccine in each arm, for polio and measles. The shots were free at the government site, and they filled gaps in the 1-year-old’s vaccination record. But they weren't enough to meet national requirements for children her age. Artemis needs two more, at a cost of $400 — a bill her unemployed mother and government-worker father can’t afford.
Public health officials have long warned that Venezuela, with an unraveling health-care system and roughly a decade of political unrest, has alarmingly low vaccination rates. The country is banned from purchasing vaccines through a regional system that offers affordable prices until it pays off an $11 million debt — largely the result of a power struggle between the government and the U.S.-backed opposition.
Specific data on vaccination rates have been elusive in Venezuela, where institutions are shrouded in secrecy, corruption and bureaucracy. The country hasn’t published rates since 2015.
But an Associated Press analysis of rare government data and estimates from public health agencies shows that Venezuela’s vaccination crisis is growing, putting it among the world’s worst countries for inoculating children against potentially fatal diseases.
Many children lack several of the 10 vaccines recommended by 12 months of age, to protect against 14 diseases including polio, measles and tuberculosis. Two of the shots — one that prevents life-threatening diarrhea and one that protects against respiratory viruses — have hardly been given at all over the past several years.
Rates are lowest in states far from the capital and large cities. Government and opposition officials trade blame, but most agree: There are not enough shots for a population that desperately needs them in a country plagued by supply issues.
Vaccination experts say the political turmoil in Venezuela is largely to blame, with t he COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating access issues.
“In situations of conflict, you often see a variety of different parties using the provision of health services as a way of generating favor,” said Katherine Bliss, director of the Immunizations and Health Systems Resilience program at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Bliss said overall vaccination rates dropped globally during pandemic lockdowns, and many nations rebounded. But Venezuela and others in Latin America struggled. They cannot fully fund vaccination programs but don’t qualify for the aid available to the poorest nations.
Data from Venezuela’s health department breaking down the percentage of children who have been immunized according to the nation’s vaccination schedule — provided to the AP by a medical professional on the condition of anonymity, for fear of retribution — show that roughly 70% of children had received one shot against measles but less than 30% had the standard required second dose. In the two southeastern states along the border with Brazil, the rate for the second dose is as low as 15% for that smaller, rural population.
Globally, 84% of children received a first dose; 70% got two, according to World Health Organization and UNICEF data.
The Venezuelan government didn't respond to inquiries from AP about the vaccine crisis.
For Artemis Parra, the vaccinations missing after her clinic visit were for rotavirus, which causes diarrhea and vomiting, and pneumococcal disease, responsible for pneumonia and other infections. United Nations agencies estimate the national rate at zero for both shots. The Venezuelan document obtained by AP doesn't list either vaccine.
The clinic was part of a campaign to get measles, rubella and polio shots in children’s arms. Vaccines began arriving in June through the Pan American Health Organization, WHO’s arm in the Americas. It's unclear how they were purchased.
Venezuela has traditionally bought most of its supply through PAHO’s Revolving Fund for Access to Vaccines, which consolidates demand from participating countries and leverages purchasing power for lower prices.
Despite Venezuela’s debt, the government and PAHO got 4.4 million shots for the drive. PAHO didn't answer AP’s inquiries about the source of payment.
For families, the vaccine source isn't important. Clinics mean protect for children at no cost
At 4 a.m. on a mid-June Saturday, Dimas Campos was first in line to get his 19-month-old got shots. Campos told other parents one way to obtain remaining vaccines: Travel to Colombia, 500-plus miles from Caracas. By car, the trip takes at least 13 hours. Buses take longer.
“You get on the bus at night, arrive in the morning, get vaccinated,” Campos said. His family estimated they’d spend $100 for the trip for free shots at a humanitarian aid site, versus $400 at a private Venezuelan practice.
Such trips show the effect of Venezuela's crisis beyond its borders. Peter Hotez, of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, said Venezuela's crisis is destabilizing the continent.
“It’s become a Latin American problem, and really, a Western Hemisphere problem,” he said.
Venezuela and other countries face a deadline of Friday to order vaccines for next year from PAHO’s Revolving Fund.
Dr. Ciro Ugarte, of PAHO, insisted Venezuela can't make purchases: “The debt of Venezuela to the revolving fund for vaccines is still on.”
AP’s analysis shows that dips in vaccination rates matched periods of political decline. A downward trend began in 2016, just before the U.S. and other countries imposed broad economic sanctions to try to topple President Nicolás Maduro.
Maduro’s socialist government and the faction of the opposition backed by the U.S. and led by Juan Guaidó have accused each other of exploiting the issue of vaccines.
The U.S. gave Guaidó and his parallel government control of hundreds of millions of dollars in assets. Disbursements must be approved by the U.S. Department of Treasury.
Treasury officials referred questions to Guaidó’s team. Guaido's opposition faction didn't respond to inquiries from AP about vaccine payments and any use of frozen assets.
For public health officials, rotavirus and pneumococcal inoculations are top concerns. Handwashing and other good hygiene can help. But Venezuela's potable water service is unreliable at best.
Some parents are aware of the risks of skipping the expensive vaccines but say they have no choice.
“We do not have the budget,” stay-at-home mom Yuberlim Salazar said at the vaccination clinic. “It is unfair to save the money to give her the vaccine and not give food to my daughter. I prefer to give my daughter food.” | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Venezuela-s-alarmingly-low-vaccine-rate-among-17304406.php | 2022-07-14T11:43:19Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Venezuela-s-alarmingly-low-vaccine-rate-among-17304406.php | false | 22 |
The US is concerned that Iran will send Russia drones to use in Ukraine, but is it a risk Tehran is willing to take?
Last Monday, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan claimed that Iran is preparing to send ‘several hundred’ UAVs to Russia, to be used in Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine. Iran outright rejected the claim and Russia has made no comments on the statement.
Meanwhile, Tehran and Moscow announced that President Vladimir Putin will be visiting the Iranian capital next week to hold talks with President Ebrahim Raisi.
Here, RT looks into Iranian drones to see whether they could be of use to Russia in the course of the special operation in Ukraine. We will also explain why the US is alarmed by the prospect and how this development could affect the likelihood of the sanctions on Iran being lifted.
‘According to our intel…’
"Our information indicates that the Iranian government is preparing to provide Russia with up to several hundred UAVs, including weapons-capable UAVs on an expedited timeline," Sullivan asserted.
He was talking to reporters about Ukraine – therefore, while it wasn’t explicitly stated, one can assume that the US now expects Iranian drones to see action in Eastern Europe.
“It’s unclear whether Iran has delivered any of these UAVs to Russia already,” Sullivan said, adding that the country will start training Russian forces to use the drones as early as this month.
“This is just one example of how Russia is looking to countries like Iran for capabilities that... have been used before we got the ceasefire in place in Yemen to attack Saudi Arabia,” Sullivan explained.
It was early Tuesday morning in Moscow when the briefing was broadcast in the US, but Russian officials are yet to make any comments about the subject. There was, however, other news from the Kremlin, as presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced that Vladimir Putin would visit Tehran the following week, on July 19.
The agenda and details of the bilateral meeting between Putin and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi have not been disclosed.
“There will be a meeting of the heads of the guarantor states of the Astana process, which, as you know, is the process to facilitate a resolution to the Syrian crisis. There will, indeed, be a meeting between Putin, Raisi and Erdogan. In addition to the trilateral meeting, bilateral talks will also take place,” Peskov said.
As for Tehran, it flatly denied it has any plans to cooperate with Russia by supplying it with UAVs. When asked about the claim by a media representative, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said:
“Cooperation between Iran and Russia in certain advanced technologies dates back to before the Ukraine war, and there have been no major developments in the area in the recent past.”
What we know about Iranian UAVs
Washington had been wary of Iran’s drone program even before Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine. Last November, the US introduced sanctions against Iranian private companies that were supposedly involved in the production of combat and reconnaissance UAVs.
According to the Americans, these companies claimed to be engaged in “private research” while covertly providing critical support to the UAV development of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and conducting international transactions in the interests of the Iranian government. The latter, in turn, supplied drones to its allies – including groups that the Urecognizes as terrorist organizations.
Notably, even back then, the US Treasury Department insisted that Iranian UAVs “threaten international peace and stability.”
Denis Fedutinov, editor-in-chief of the magazine Drone Aviation, told RT that Iranian drones are actually very much worth looking into – the country has been designing them since the 1980s.
“Currently, Iran has several dozen drone systems, from miniature drones to medium-altitude long-endurance models,” he said.
Some Iranian UAVs were inspired by the US designs. For example, the Qods Yasir is based on the Boeing Insitu ScanEagle intercepted by the Iranians in 2012, while the Shahed 171 Simorgh and Saegheh-2 have a lot in common with the RQ-170 Sentinel that violated Iranian airspace in 2011.
Visually similar to the US MQ-1 Predator, the Shahed 129 attack drones are of particular interest, as they have played an active role in the civil war in Syria since 2014.
“Iran isn’t too keen on sharing information on its drones, revealing only what’s beneficial to it. But doubtless, one of its advantages is its vast experience in UAV development,” Denis Fedutinov noted.
Nevertheless, Iranian technology cannot hold a candle to its Turkish competition.
“Turkish designers partner with the leading suppliers of various drone subsystems in the market, which makes it easier for them to develop more sophisticated equipment.”
Why does Russia need Iranian drones?
Viktor Litovkin, a retired colonel and military commentator for TASS, told RT that “all drones are essentially the same.”
“The only difference is their role, their loadout and their flight time. Iran doesn’t have any outstanding drones, but nor does anybody else. All drones are essentially the same,” he explained.
Moscow has also been developing its own UAVs for quite some time. Russian Vice Prime Minister Yuri Borisov, who is in charge of supervision of the defense industry, said last month that Russia “has access to almost all types of unmanned military aerial systems, including reconnaissance, attack, tactical, operational and operational-tactical models.”
At the same time, he doesn’t deny that Russia “should’ve recognized the benefits of drones much earlier.”
Answering RT’s question about the “shortage of drones,” Borisov promised to “ramp up production,” adding, “it takes time.”
This may be interpreted as a sign that Russia considers Iranian drones to be a temporary solution until Russian drones are put into service.
Fedutinov argues that if a deal were to be signed, Moscow would be interested mainly in heavy recon and attack UAV systems.
“Had they been available to the Russian Army, I don’t see any obstacles to fielding such systems [in Ukraine]. And as far as civilian casualties or friendly fire are concerned, drones carry high-precision weapon systems that minimize those risks,” Fedutinov said.
Litovkin expressed doubt that Iranian drones would see any use in Ukraine.
“No type of weapon could change the course of the war. Well, nuclear weapons could, but escalating the conflict in Ukraine to a nuclear war is out of the question. Drones are not weapons per se, they are combat platforms,” he said.
Will Iran be able to cover Russia’s UAV demand?
“It sounds like Iranian companies have been able to launch mass production of drones. And we can even say that they have begun to sell their UAV systems to certain customers,” Fedutinov said when asked if Iran was capable of exporting drones.
Litovkin agrees. According to him, “Iran has manufactured a significant number of drones that are just being stored at warehouses right now.”
“Iran is not engaged in any wars, so it doesn’t need all those drones, while Russia could use them in its Ukraine campaign. It is no wonder then that we could buy different types of UAVs from Iran,” the military expert believes.
Vladimir Sazhin, from the Institute of Oriental Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences and an expert on Iran, disagrees: “Iran has many adversaries in the region, including Israel, the Gulf countries, Jordan and Egypt. There have even been proposals to establish a ‘Middle Eastern NATO.’ All these developments keep pressure on Iran, so I don’t think it will jeopardize its defense capabilities by giving its drones to some other country.”
Sazhin also has doubts about Teheran’s ability to mass produce and export UAVs, “Iran supplies drones to its ‘allies’ – mostly, Yemen’s Houthis, and we can hardly count them in the hundreds, dozens would be a more realistic estimate, and we don’t even know the type. Besides military drones, Iran also manufactures simple models, almost like toys. I don’t think Iran is capable of increasing the scale of production in such limited time. The systems that are manufactured in Iran right now can hardly be exported.”
What else stands in the way?
“I don’t think there was any kind of plan to sell drones to Russia before February 24. Maybe there were some discussions after that, but I doubt anything will actually happen,” Sazhin says.
He believes that political considerations are also involved, “Iran is neutral on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Its unwavering position is that a ceasefire should be reached as soon as possible. I don’t think Iran plans to take either side, by supporting Russia and opposing the West.”
He also said that Tehran is heavily invested in the Vienna talks on resuming the Iranian nuclear deal, which was basically abolished by the Donald Trump administration.
“Iran wants to see this deal come through, because it wants the Western sanctions to be lifted. The EU, Japan and other countries support Teheran in its agenda. They can’t wait for the sanctions to be eased, because that will give them instant access to the Iranian economy, which has been in dire straits. Tehran really needs external investments in all industries. And technology. Obviously, Russia can’t help it with either, while the EU and Japan can,” Sazhin explained.
The expert also notes that by supplying Russia with drones Iran would face more pressure from the West, which would jeopardize its future partnerships with countries that could provide investment and technology.
“That is not the kind of risk Iran is ready to take, this configuration doesn’t benefit it,” Sazhin added.
The expert says that a behind-the-scenes deal between Moscow and Teheran is also impossible.
“Today, a deal like that would remain a secret for only a few hours. Even if Iran secretly supplies Russia with its drones, they will be discovered in the combat zone. This would put Iran in an even more difficult situation,” according to Sazhin. | https://www.rt.com/russia/558928-iran-supply-uav-drones/ | 2022-07-14T11:45:32Z | https://www.rt.com/russia/558928-iran-supply-uav-drones/ | true | 1 |
VIDEO: 6700 Ton Valhall Platform Torn Down with Explosives
Aker Solutions has posted a video on its Facebook page showing the 6,700-ton Valhall drilling platform being torn down with explosives.
In a statement accompanying the video, Aker Solutions outlined that, as Aker BP is upgrading the “gigantic” Valhall field, its original platforms from the early 1980s have been removed and transported to Aker Solutions’ facilities at Stord.
“There, the old giants will be dismantled and as much as 98 percent of the structures will be recycled, giving new life to valuable raw materials such as high-grade steel,” the statement noted.
“Once the platform has been emptied, the next step of the recycling project is to topple the structure so that it comes within reach of the large cutting machines. In some cases, the preferred method is to use explosives,” the statement added.
Last month, Aker BP posted a video on its Facebook page showing the removal of modules from the Valhall field center.
“In order to further develop the area, a new central platform is planned on the field center and this also enables tie-in of the King Lear field,” Aker BP said in a statement accompanying the video.
“The coordinated development will contribute to extend the service life and increased value creation from Valhall,” the company added.
According to the website of Aker BP, the operator of Valhall with a 90 percent interest, the field has produced over a billion barrels of oil equivalents since it was opened in 1982. The ambition is to produce another billion barrels over the next 40 years, the company notes on its site.
“The Valhall field is located in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea, and although the field has been in production for several decades, Aker BP sees enormous potential in the area,” the company states on its site.
“The work of modernizing Valhall is well underway, and involves removing old platforms, plugging old wells, investing in new wells and actively seeking new business opportunities in the area,” the company adds.
Net 2P reserves in the Valhall area stand at 291 million barrels of oil equivalent (net), according to Aker BP, which highlights that the area’s production level in 2021 reached more than 46,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Jordanian journalist, Ola Al-Fares, sparked pregnancy rumors recently.
Ola Al-Fares took to her Instagram account to share several snaps alongside her husband, as they enjoyed a romantic getaway in the mountains and around sunsets and seas.
In one of the photos, Ola can be seen sitting on a romantically set dinner table with a beautiful nature landscape behind her, the Jordanian star donned a white dress and let her wavy brown hair fall down to her shoulders.
Apart from looking stylish and elegant, fans noticed that Ola's weight had increased, which sparked speculations that she could be pregnant with her first child.
On the other hand, others said that it was Ola's white dress that showed her extra weight from the bottom, and that the media would not hide her pregnancy if it happened.
Ola also published a picture of her hand and the hand of her husband, each wearing blue-eyed bracelets, while holding a stone with the word “dream” written on it; What may indicate that the dream of motherhood has come true!
Comments poured out on Ola's photos, asking if she was actually pregnant. One of them wrote: "you gained weight after getting married, or wait, are you pregnant?''
Another commented, "The pregnancy is clear, do not try to hide it."
One user wrote:'' you look stunning, you gained weight but it looks so good on you!'' another added: 'that is such a nice picture Ola, and the slight weigh gain looks super good on you'' | https://www.albawaba.com/entertainment/ola-al-faress-latest-picture-speculates-pregnancy-rumors-due-weight-gain-1483888 | 2022-07-14T11:53:19Z | https://www.albawaba.com/entertainment/ola-al-faress-latest-picture-speculates-pregnancy-rumors-due-weight-gain-1483888 | true | 1 |

WNBA's Brittney Griner heads back to Russian court after guilty plea to drug possession charges
American basketball star Brittney Griner is due back in a Russian court Thursday to resume a trial that was jolted last week when she abruptly pleaded guilty to drug possession charges.
With the U.S. government under pressure at home to do more to secure her freedom, the guilty plea could be an effort to expedite the court proceedings so any negotiations could move forward. A senior Russian diplomat has said no action could be taken by Moscow until the trial was over.
The Phoenix Mercury center and WNBA all-star was detained at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport in February while returning to play basketball in Russia. Police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage. In custody ever since, Griner, 31, faces charges that could bring her a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
In pleading guilty during the previous court hearing on July 7, Griner said she had no intention of committing a crime and had acted unintentionally because she packed for Moscow in a hurry.
U.S. President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have said they were doing all they could to win the release of Griner, as well as other Americans the U.S. considers “wrongly detained” by Russia, including former Marine Paul Whelan.
Washington may have little leverage with Moscow, though, because of strong animosity over its military operation in Ukraine.
Russian media have speculated that Griner could be swapped for Russian arms trader Viktor Bout, nicknamed “the Merchant of Death,” who is serving a 25-year sentence in the U.S. after being convicted of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and providing aid to a terrorist organization.
Russia has agitated for Bout’s release for years. But the wide discrepancy in the seriousness of their cases could make such a trade unpalatable to Washington. Others have suggested that Griner could be traded along with Whelan, who is serving 16 years in Russia on an espionage conviction that the U.S. has described as a setup.
The State Department’s designation of Griner as wrongfully detained moves her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, effectively the government’s chief hostage negotiator. The classification has irritated Russia.
Asked about the possibility of Griner being swapped for a Russian jailed in the U.S., Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, the senior Russian diplomat, noted that until her trial is over “there are no formal or procedural reasons to talk about any further steps.”
Ryabkov warned that U.S. criticism, including the description of Griner as wrongfully detained and dismissive comments about the Russian judicial system, “makes it difficult to engage in detailed discussion of any possible exchanges.”
Griner's detention has been authorized through Dec. 20, suggesting the trial could last months. Griner’s lawyers, however, said they expect it to conclude around the beginning of the August. | https://www.koco.com/article/wnba-brittney-griner-russian-court/40609197 | 2022-07-14T12:03:34Z | https://www.koco.com/article/wnba-brittney-griner-russian-court/40609197 | true | 45 |
Weren't clever enough to get into Cambridge University? Don't despair: Experience the atmosphere of its hallowed halls at this historic hotel nearby
- Jennifer Cox checked into the 19th-century University Arms hotel on Cambridge's Regent Street
- She stayed in the 'heart-soaringly luxurious' Stephen Hawking suite, which features a bespoke writing desk
- 'Decadent' afternoon tea can be enjoyed in the wood-panelled library with its fireplace and velvet sofas
If, like me, your exam success peaked at the Cycling Proficiency Test, don’t despair. You can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the University of Cambridge’s hallowed halls by checking in to the University Arms hotel on Regent Street.
Cambridge’s oldest hotel, now part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, dates from 1834. It recently underwent a laudable £80 million makeover by architect John Simpson, whose touches include the dramatic triple-arched portico through which guests enter the soaring double-height lobby that’s hung with statement belle epoch-style pennant lighting.
Once inside, designer Martin Brudnizki (of Annabel’s nightclub fame) has fun, channelling university character throughout, from the Cambridge blue of the 189 guest rooms to the university tie striped carpets. Even the concierges’ smart uniforms are a homage to Cambridge alumnus Winston Churchill’s siren suits.
Hallowed hallway: Jennifer Cox checked into University Arms Hotel, the oldest hotel in Cambridge. Pictured is the impressive grand lobby, which her husband likened to Hogwarts

And it works. For all its quirkiness (Alan Bennett, an Oxford man, reads Wind In The Willows in the chic loos), the University Arms is a smart, seriously stylish hotel. We marvelled at the grand lobby, which my husband likened to Hogwarts.
It’s certainly magical: to the right, arched glass doors lead to a cosy wood-panelled library with fireplace and velvet sofas (where we would later enjoy the most decadent afternoon tea).
Ahead, Parker’s Tavern bistro and bar resembles a college refectory, its gleaming parquet floors, wooden tables, leather banquettes and huge original stained-glass windows overlooking the sprawling Parker’s Piece common outside.
The hotel's 10 suites are all named after illustrious Cambridge University alumni. Above is the Stephen Hawking suite, in which Jennifer stayed

'For all its quirkiness, the University Arms is a smart, seriously stylish hotel,' says Jennifer
Navigating a warren of corridors, we check in to the spacious Stephen Hawking suite on the first floor: one of 10 suites named after illustrious alumni.
It’s a homage to student rooms with its bespoke wooden writing desk, rattly drinks trolley and pop art, but it’s heart-soaringly luxurious, boasting a walk-in dressing room and stylish bathroom with underfloor heating.
Later we take a stroll across the common, circling back via Cambridge’s beautiful, ancient colleges, and that night we sample chef Tristan Welch’s dishes in Parker’s Tavern.

He specialises in British classics using local produce, and our dinner of pan-fried hake with asparagus and tomato, and sirloin steak with Cambridge sauce and watercress salad, is simple and delicious.
After an extremely comfortable sleep (possibly aided by the Bloomsbury Boozer cocktails), I eschew the full English breakfast to graze granolas, yogurts, fruit and sourdough toast.
Perfectly fuelled, we grabbed a couple of hotel guest bikes and cycle over Mathematical Bridge to the glorious Cambridge University Botanic Gardens. A weekend break that passed with flying colours.

Shawn O’Dare never got a chance to catch a pass as a Miami Hurricane. In his limited opportunities to get into games, he mostly was able to run down the field on kickoff coverage. The best part, really, was the fact he got to put on the uniform, run through the smoke and build long-lasting friendships with many of the players who were on scholarship.
“That’s not something a lot of people can say they did,” said O’Dare, a former high school quarterback at Vero Beach (Fla.) High who joined the Hurricanes as a preferred walk-on receiver in Randy Shannon’s final season as coach in 2010 and was the roommate of quarterback Stephen Morris for three years.
“That adrenaline rush after ‘In the Air’ tonight plays inside the stadium, there’s no other feeling like it,” O’Dare continued. “There’s no brotherhood like the University of Miami.”
O’Dare’s career highlight as a player, he said, was being asked by interim coach Jeff Stoutland to dress for the 2010 Sun Bowl. Miami lost to Notre Dame 33-17 in the snow. O’Dare, now 31, never got to play in the game, but he still managed to make the front page of the local newspaper because he was standing next to running back Mike James on the sideline.
“It’s a pretty iconic photo where we’re all in front of a big heated fan,” O’Dare said. “I was the only one with a full ninja hood on.”
That bowl game was the only one O’Dare played in during his four years with the program. Miami self-imposed bowl bans in 2011 and 2012 following the scandal with Nevin Shapiro, the convicted Ponzi-schemer who allegedly provided impermissible benefits to 72 Hurricanes players from 2002 to 2010.
A decade later, O’Dare, who graduated from Miami in 2013 and earned his master’s degree there, is helping Hurricanes players get paid legally. He has been a certified NFL agent going on seven years and one of several working for Rosenhaus Sports, founded by fellow Miami grad Drew Rosenhaus, one of the most recognized names in the business who has represented hundreds of former Hurricanes and NFL stars.
Early in his post-playing career, O’Dare did marketing for Hurricanes all-time leading rusher Duke Johnson. Now, O’Dare reps 10 players, including Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, receiver Xavier Restrepo, tight end Elijah Arroyo and defensive ends Jahfari Harvey and Cyrus Moss in name, image and likeness deals.
“The goal is to be in the green room with Drew every year,” O’Dare said of his career aspirations. “Hopefully, we have a Heisman winner and a first overall pick next year.”
Van Dyke was the first player O’Dare signed to an NIL deal last year. It was for him to serve as an ambassador for the “Orange Bowl Boys” podcast. The latest deal: Van Dyke will be filming a commercial for College Hunks moving company next week.
With O’Dare set to host his first youth football camp in his hometown, The Athletic caught up with him to discuss the good and bad of NIL over the past year, and the latest with Van Dyke, the reigning ACC rookie of the year who has the most NIL deals of any Hurricane.
What aspect of NIL has improved the most since it began a year ago?
It’s getting a little more organized. The first few months were very wild, wild west. Since then, collectives are taking shape. Group licensing is too. Guys are going to be able to get their jerseys sold, make money off trading cards and collect on the (EA Sports) video game next year, hopefully. I feel like companies are also starting to get a little more comfortable seeing a return on investment in some respects. But I would just say organizationally it’s getting better.
What’s still something that’s a headache when it comes to NIL?
It’s no one’s fault, but if we do a deal where we have a guy who has to make an appearance or has to be on a flyer, we have to make sure not only The U logo is scrubbed, but the Adidas logo is scrubbed, too. You’re not allowed to use the stripes on the helmet, the jersey or the pants. So, making sure there’s no Miami logos whatsoever on any promo-related things has been the biggest headache. Other than that, every deal we do we have to submit to compliance and make sure there’s a contract involved.
Has anybody not been paid or has a company or individual been late with a payment?
Everyone’s been pretty on point thus far. Hopefully I didn’t just jinx us. It’s still a learning experience for everybody involved. It’s brand new, it’s a year out. Companies are kind of dipping their toe in and experimenting with it, but I think they’re starting to see some good returns. Not just in football, but other sports as well.
Are quarterbacks still far and away landing the biggest NIL deals?
I think you can say that for the NFL as well. Obviously, it’s a lot easier when guys are performing well on the field. Tyler, being the ACC rookie of the year, coming back with the excitement around the program, it’s not a very hard sell for us. From trading cards to appearances to the BMW he got as part of a NIL deal, he’s probably done close to 30 NIL deals at this point.
Are players being responsible paying taxes and keeping their finances in order?
As agents we’re not at all involved as financial advisors or on the tax side of things, but we let them know they have to pay taxes. With Tyler, his parents are very helpful, making sure all of that’s handled. But I think it’s a good precursor to guys having to deal with it as professionals, and they’re starting to get a good sense of it in college now. Just because you’re making $5,000 on something doesn’t mean you’re getting the whole $5,000. At the end of the day, I think it’s a good learning lesson, and it’ll prepare them even more for when they’re making it as professionals.
Would you have been able to land yourself a NIL deal as a player? What might NIL have looked like 10-15 years ago?
I wouldn’t have cashed in much. I might have got a free slice of pizza or something. But a lot of my other teammates would have done very well. I think it’s just great to be able to establish relationships with these players while they’re in school and help them monetize and grow their brand before they’re professionals. It’s long overdue. They should have been able to make money a long time ago. But you can’t really look at the past. Just be thankful that they’re able to do it now. A lot of these guys are cashing in and really setting themselves up nicely for their future. Even if they don’t play professionally, they have a head start on life and they can attribute that to NIL.
Miami billionaire booster John Ruiz and his company LifeWallet have signed a lot of Hurricanes to NIL deals. Where would Miami be without him?
John’s been huge for Miami. You credit him for taking the biggest step (in terms of compensation). Dan Lambert (of American Top Team) is another guy that made sure every guy on the team got a NIL deal. John kind of stepped in and took it to another level. Every guy that we represent has an NIL deal with John Ruiz, and the good thing about John is he does it the correct way. He’s very compliant with it. No guy has ever missed a payment. So, every guy has gotten their payments, gotten them on time. And these guys have to work for it. They have to post (on social media). They have to go into his office and shoot commercials. They have to do a certain amount of appearances (to get paid). John is doing everything the right way and we applaud him for that. It’s been a really beneficial relationship.
Are there any NIL deals you turn down because they’re troublesome or may not be good for the player’s image?
I wouldn’t say because they’re troublesome, but there’s some deals that we turned down just because it doesn’t make sense financially or contractually. We don’t want to do too many deals where we’re watering down these guys’ brands or too many autograph signings where their signature doesn’t retain the value when they’re professional. There are certainly situations where we’ve turned down deals. It has to make sense for both parties, and it has to be a win for the client at the end of the day.
Tyler Van Dyke is being put into mock drafts as a first-round pick in 2023. Who else among your clients is drawing some strong NFL chatter?
Jahfari Harvey is a guy that’s getting a lot of interest. He was actually the 16th overall ranked defensive end in Phil Steele’s college football preview magazine. He’s going to ACC media days. He’s a guy that’s drawing interest from teams and just his physicality, his speed off the edge, his bend — he should be a very high prospect. And you can talk to (defensive coordinator Kevin) Steele. He was just raving about him during the spring. So, he’s one of the team leaders and I think another guy that’s going to draw a lot of interest in this draft coming up.
What was attending the Manning Academy like for Van Dyke? And is it a forgone conclusion he will end up being a first-round pick after this season?
Tyler said the Manning Academy was a great experience. He said it was good to compete and meet guys like Eli, Peyton and Archie and compete with some of the best quarterbacks in the country out there. Right now, what he’s done in college is a small sample size. He knows he has to prove it again. He’s had a lot of positive feedback, a lot of good things going. But every team has a different evaluation. We don’t really go by these mock drafts, and he doesn’t really care about any of it either. He just puts his head down and works hard. In the end, he doesn’t have to come out this year. He’ll make a decision based on this year, and go from there.

Nothing in the first days of NHL free agency would have rivaled the seismic impact of Kevin Durant requesting a trade at the outset of the NBA summer shopping season.
Except maybe in Toronto, where the addition of two question marks to be the Maple Leafs’ new goalie tandem dwarfed the news-dump firing of manager Charlie Montoyo by the fourth-place Blue Jays.
Conversely, the Rangers and Islanders aren’t likely to steal many summertime back pages in New York from the first-place Yankees and Mets — or from the big-name trade possibilities surrounding the Nets and the Knicks.
The Blueshirts still executed a handful of impactful moves after the buying period opened at noon Wednesday, most significantly signing two-way center Vincent Trocheck to a seven-year contract worth $39.375 million as an upgrade over free-agent Ryan Strome as the team’s second-line pivot, presumably to be paired with leading scorer Artemi Panarin. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/rangers-upgrades-islanders-miss-out/259925/ | 2022-07-14T12:09:48Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/rangers-upgrades-islanders-miss-out/259925/ | true | 2 |

Buffalo supermarket to reopen 2 months after mass shooting
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo supermarket where 10 Black people were killed by a white gunman is set to reopen its doors to the public Friday, two months after the racist attack.
A moment of silence and prayer will be held Thursday at Tops Friendly Market to honor the victims, employees and community impacted by the May 14 mass shooting, with a ceremonial reopening of the overhauled store before customers return Friday, the company said.
Ten Black people were killed when a then-18-year-old gunman wearing body armor and carrying a semi-automatic rifle opened fire on weekend shoppers and employees. Three people were wounded in the massacre.
Investigators say the shooter was motivated by white supremacist beliefs and researched the demographics of the predominantly Black neighborhood where the market is located with the intent of killing as many Black people as possible. He drove for more than three hours from his home in Conklin, New York, to carry out the attack, authorities said.
The decision to reopen, rather than relocate, the store has been met with mixed emotions in the East Buffalo neighborhood that, beset by high poverty, fought for years to get a grocery store. Since opening in 2003, the Tops location remains the only supermarket in the immediate area. Its closure in the wake of the shooting forced many residents to take buses to other locations or rely on stopgap measures like neighborhood giveaways to access fresh food.
“We must go on,” said Tops employee Rosalie Bishop, who has worked at the store for 12 years. She wants the store open again — and never for a moment considered not returning to work with colleagues who she considers family.
“The store is there for a reason. The store is still there for a reason,” said Bishop, 58, who was on her way to work when the shooting happened and said she’s still processing her near miss. “The people will come back. They might not come today or tomorrow, but they will come back.”
Other neighbors say reopening isn’t the best path forward.
Suggestions to local media and on social networks include turning the site into a park or recreational center that would bring the community together, or having several supermarkets that are more dispersed throughout Buffalo’s East Side.
Some simply can’t imagine entering a store where such terrible events took place.
The shooter, Payton Gendron, was arrested just outside the store’s front entrance. He is charged with numerous counts, including federal hate crime charges punishable by the death penalty, and has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges.
Authorities say the gunman was motivated by white supremacist beliefs, including a baseless conspiracy theory about a plot to diminish the influence of white people. He chronicled his plans for months in an online diary, authorities said, and livestreamed the attack via a helmet camera.
Mayor Byron Brown said he was apprehensive while first touring the remodeled store but believes the overhaul will be helpful to customers.
“I realize that not everyone will feel comfortable returning to the store,” he said in a statement, adding that he is encouraging other retailers to serve the area.
“None of us will ever forget the cruel, racist attack,” Brown said. The reopening is a step toward healing, he said.
Bishop already has returned to the store to help prepare. Her first day went smoothly, but a security drill with flashing lights on the second day sent her home, shaken, mid-shift. Still, she said she is not afraid for her safety.
“I just want peace. I just want peace,” Bishop said. “It’ll never go back to the way it was. We’re not looking for the way it was. But peace.”

GENEVA (AP) — The number of new coronavirus cases reported worldwide rose for the fifth week in a row while the number of deaths remained relatively stable, the World Health Organization reported Thursday.
In the U.N. health agency’s weekly review of the COVID-19 pandemic, WHO said there were 5.7 million new infections confirmed last week, marking a 6% increase. There were 9.800 deaths, roughly similar to the previous week’s figure.
Earlier this week, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the pandemic still qualifies as a global emergency and he was “concerned” about the recent spike.
“The virus is running freely, and countries are not effectively managing the disease burden,” he said during a Tuesday press briefing. “New waves of the virus demonstrate again that COVID-19 is nowhere near over.”
In the last two weeks, cases of COVID-19 reported to WHO surged 30%, driven largely by the hugely infectious omicron relatives, BA.4 and BA.5. The two omicron subvariants have shown a worrisome ability to re-infect people previously vaccinated or who have recovered from COVID.
According to WHO, the biggest increases in COVID-19 cases were seen in the Western Pacific and the Middle East, where they jumped by more than a quarter. Deaths spiked by 78% in the Middle East and by 23% in Southeast Asia, while dropping elsewhere or remaining stable.
WHO said that relaxed COVID-19 surveillance and testing programs in numerous countries have complicated efforts to track the virus and to catch any potentially dangerous new variants.
In the U.S., the new omicron variants have pushed up hospitalizations and deaths in recent weeks, prompting some cities and states to rethink their approaches. White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha, during a Wednesday TV appearance, called for booster shots and renewed vigilance against the virus.
The White House response team has also urged all adults 50 and older to urgently get a booster if they haven’t yet this year — and dissuaded people from waiting for the next generation of shots expected in the fall.
