At a 8.8% CAGR Home Office Furniture Market Revenue Expected to Reach $7,615.2 Million by 2030
PORTLAND, OREGON, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Home office furniture is mainly used for seating, mounting computer systems, and keeping important documents and files in safe store. Right from the corporate resources to students and even entrepreneurs tend to use them for an array of different purposes including attending online lectures, joining conferences, writing papers, reading books etc. Especially a steep surge in the trend of having nuclear families has accentuated the demand for portable stuffs, particularly the ones that are quite space-saving in nature. This factor has worked as the major driver propelling the market growth for office furniture in several ways.

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “home office furniture market by product type, material type, price range, and distribution channel: global opportunity analysis and industry forecast, 2021–2030,” the global home office furniture market size is expected to reach $7,615.2 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2021 to 2030.Here, it’s worth mentioning that the outbreak of COVID-19 has had a mixed impact on the home office furniture market. As the reported cases started increasing, most of the countries across the world declared lockdown, especially in the initial phase, which gave way to distorted supply chain. At the same time, when consumer discretionary expenditure experienced a steep decline, and businesses also seemed to make out a shift toward more sturdy merchandises. However, on the other hand, through several engagement drives, manufacturers have now started reinforcing their e-commerce straits, thereby perking up consumer engagement on their web pages. This drift has proven to be highly beneficial for the market.
Simultaneously, the pandemic has given way to growing inclination toward “work from home” and “stay at home” orders. And, with this trend on board, the home office furniture market has reportedly gained huge traction in both the government and corporate spheres. As per the surveys conducted by several furniture rental companies, the work from home furniture segment beheld a considerable growth of almost two-hundred percent during the pandemic. Most of the educational institutes, corporate houses, and manufacturing units were brought down to closure in an attempt to deter the spread of the virus. Even, colleges and universities started online lectures to retain their operations.
Detailed Market Study
This factor has fueled the demand for home office furniture among working population in the majority of countries. Even, the manufacturers of such furniture attained a steady growth in terms of revenue and sales. This trend is most likely to continue post pandemic as well.
The Milan Furniture Fair got on the go recently, and the subject of the event was getting used to life during the pandemic. A pool counter that coins into a dining slab, a bookstand that transmutes into a shaving breakfront and noise-canceling sheets to expedite working from home were a quite few ideas that were on the minds of displayers at the fair. After months mewed up at home, a lot of people have started renovating their apartments and houses into office spaces and schools, which eventually has bleared the lines between private and public spaces.

Acer Chromebook 314-H review: Big battery, budget screen

Low weight and slimline style

Disappointing HD screen

It’s not hard to see the appeal of the Acer Chromebook 314-H. Here we have a Chromebook with a wallet-friendly £230 asking price, but with the slim-and-light body and 14in screen you might associate with more luxurious models. You’re paying bargain-basement prices while getting something that looks surprisingly mid-range, but does this mean putting up with the kind of corner-cutting that used to give many Chromebooks a bad name?
Acer Chromebook 314-H review: What you need to know
It’s no surprise that this is a Chromebook that’s clearly been built to a budget. The spec is par for the course for a low-end device, with an Intel Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM, while the 14in screen only has a bog-standard 1,366 x 768 HD resolution. Even though the Chromebook 314-H looks more expensive than it is, you still have to put up with most of the compromises you’d find in smaller Chromebooks at this kind of price point, only stretched across a bigger frame. Plus, with only 32GB of storage, there’s not a lot of space to install Android apps.

Acer Chromebook 314-H review: Price and competition
The Chromebook 314-H is inexpensive for a 14in Chromebook, although Asus and HP have competing models that sell for not much more. In fact, Asus has its own variant, the 314 Touch 14, which ships with a 14in Full HD 1080p touch display, but at the cost of £300.
Move a little further up the price scale and you’ll find devices such as the Asus Chromebook C423 that give you the same and a little more processing power to work with, which could be worth your while if you want a Chromebook that can tackle more than browsing and basic web-based productivity apps.
Acer Chromebook 314-H review: Design
The big advantage of the Chromebook 314-H is that it allows you to step up from the 11.6in screens of the cheapest budget Chromebooks to a more expansive 14in display. What’s more, it’s all encased in a slim-and-light plastic chassis that, if you squint, you might almost mistake for aluminium. The blue tint helps sell the illusion and, beyond the slightly too flexible lid, it doesn’t even feel that cheap. If you were mean, you might describe the design as a poor-man’s MacBook Air, but for under £250, is that really such a bad thing to be? And, at less than 1.3kg, it’s very easy to heft around.
You also get more physical connectivity than on some smaller Chromebooks, with two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type A and two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type C ports, along with a microSD slot and the audio jack. It also supports 2x2 Mu-MIMO 802.11ac Wi-Fi for higher connection speeds.

Acer Chromebook 314-H review: Keyboard and touchpad
A bigger unit also means more space for the keyboard and touchpad, plus generally more comfortable ergonomics. The keyboard isn’t bad, with a spacious layout and a short but crisp typing action. It’s no Pixelbook Go keyboard, but it’s definitely easier to work on than the keyboards of lower-end 11.6in devices. The touchpad is also pretty decent, with a clean, smooth surface and a squarer shape that makes it easier to move your pointer vertically around the screen.

Acer Chromebook 314-H review: Display and sound
It’s once you turn the Chromebook 313-H on that the mid-range illusion starts to dissipate, mainly because it’s at this point you can see the screen. It’s nice to have the 14in screen size; you get a good working area without the need for regular squinting, and without the additional size and weight of a 15.6in laptop.
Sadly, though, the 1,366 x 768 resolution that can look crisp on an 11.6in Chromebook starts to look crude and pixelated when spread across this much screen. Worse, it’s really dim, not even getting above 200cdm2 in our tests, and contrast levels are way below average. sRGB gamut coverage is poor, at just 54.7%, and there’s a noticeable blue cast across the screen.
We haven’t tested the model with the Full HD touchscreen, but it’s probably worth paying the extra for. Full HD screens are rarely great at under £300, but you’re going to get something with more clarity and definition – and a more usable Chromebook as a result.
The sound isn’t bad. There’s no bass and not much body in the mid-range, making everything a little tinny, but it’s reasonably clear and with a surprisingly wide stereo spread. Keep some headphones handy, but for video chats or casual streaming, the audio here is perfectly adequate.
Acer Chromebook 314-H review: Performance and battery life
Sadly, if you were expecting any step up in terms of performance from the cheapest Chromebooks, then you’re going to go away disappointed. We’re back with our old friend from 2017, the Celeron N4000, and even with 4GB of RAM you won’t get impressive benchmark results.
As with any Chromebook, this isn’t necessarily disastrous. You can run a browser with five or six tabs open or run Google Docs and Google Sheets side by side on the same screen and you’re really not going to experience much slowdown. However, anything more demanding could push the Acer past its limits, and it definitely feels less snappy than the faster Chromebooks out there. In our tests, including the Android Geekbench 5 benchmark, performance was near-identical to the Acer Chromebook 311 C733 that has exactly the same spec.
As for battery life, the Chromebook 314-H is something of a star. The screen might be big, but the low-end processor and smaller pixel count help keep power consumption frugal, and as a result this Chromebook lasted some 12hrs 43mins in our video-playback test. Only a handful of Chromebooks we’ve tested have lasted any longer.

Acer Chromebook 314-H review: Verdict
On balance, this isn’t a bad Chromebook for the money. It’s usable and, while not exactly speedy, is fast enough for simple, everyday tasks. Yet we keep coming back to that underwhelming screen and the feeling that this would have been a much better option with a bit more oomph. If budgets are tight, you might consider it, but there’s not enough here for this Chromebook to stand out. | https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/laptops/1413475/acer-chromebook-314-h-review | 2022-07-14T17:47:09Z | https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/laptops/1413475/acer-chromebook-314-h-review | true | 1 |
At age six Jason Maxedon started hunting quail with his father on their West Tennessee farm, and at nine he bagged his first deer.
And a love affair with the outdoors was born that hasn’t cooled over the years.
“I was hooked at an early age,” says Maxedon, recently named Executive Director of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, taking the helm at perhaps the most challenging juncture in the organization’s 75-year history.
“I applied for the Director’s job because of my support of the Agency,” Maxedon says. “We’ve had some challenges over the past few years, and I want to help us meet them, and make sure the Agency is relevant to the outdoors community.”
Maxedon, 48, is a native of the West Tennessee town of Newbern. He graduated from Dyersburg State and Tennessee Martin, and earned his Masters degree at UT-Knoxville. He and wife Teffany have a son, Dalton, 20. They reside in Dickson County, and plan to soon move to nearby Hickman County.
Maxedon joined the TWRA in 2000 as manager of the Lower Obion Wetland Complex and served in various capacities over the next 22 years. In April he was named interim director when Bobby Wilson announced his pending retirement this fall.
Gary Myers served as the Agency’s director for 31 years before being replaced by Ed Carter in 2009. Carter was followed by Wilson in 2020.
While the past leaderships have been solid, there is increasing pressure at the top – from political interference to budget constraints and PR problems such as an ongoing timbering controversy.
The TWRA story is generally positive – the Agency is a national model for wildlife restoration and management – but tends to be slow to respond to critics. The timbering controversy is a prime example, in which media accounts were often one-sided or inaccurate and swayed public and political opinion against the Agency.
“There was some misinformation,” Maxedon says. “We could have gotten out ahead of it earlier. We need to re-establish communications with our hunters and fishermen.”
Maxedon also says “we need to bring more diversity to the Agency” to reflect changing times and attitudes.
Dealing with invasive species such as Asian Carp and trying to control the spread of the deadly Chronic Wasting Disease among deer are costly but necessary, as they threaten the state’s lucrative fisheries and hunting industry.
“We need to meet these challenges of today while also focusing on the next generation,” Maxedon says. “We have to serve a more diverse audience while also serving our base.”
Maxdon’s favorite outdoors pastimes are turkey and waterfowl hunting, training his Labrador Retrievers and fishing for bluegill on scenic Reelfoot Lake.
Throughout his life, the outdoors has been his focus. He loves it and he lives it, and his mission now is to preserve it. | https://www.wilsonpost.com/sports/maxedon-leads-twra-into-challenging-era/article_5d22443c-fed6-11ec-ac15-8fea01ae97f6.html | 2022-07-14T17:47:55Z | https://www.wilsonpost.com/sports/maxedon-leads-twra-into-challenging-era/article_5d22443c-fed6-11ec-ac15-8fea01ae97f6.html | false | 1 |
‘90 Day Fiancé’: Emily and Kobe Find Out They’re Pregnant With Baby #2
On 90 Day Fiancé Season 9, Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise find out they’re expecting baby #2 in a cramped pharmacy bathroom. This unexpected news comes at a pivotal time in this young couple’s life. Just days before their wedding , they must keep Emily’s pregnancy a secret from her parents until they figure out what to do.
Emily and Kobe take a pregnancy test at a pharmacy
On the July 10 episode of 90 Day Fiancé , Emily suspects she might be pregnant with Kobe Blaise’s child after her period was a few weeks late. Emily sneaks her fiancé, Kobe, out of her parent’s house to the pharmacy. On the way there, Emily and Kobe argue about who is to blame for not taking precautions against getting pregnant.
" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q1246rQWnt0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen>Kobe is in denial, telling Emily, “No, you can’t be pregnant.” Emily replies, “Why can’t I be pregnant?” He insists it’s impossible because they took many “precautions” to avoid pregnancy. But Emily disagrees, “Precautions? Kobe, you’re the one who told me you didn’t want me to take birth control.” She argues, “Not taking birth control can obviously lead to a birth.”
Emily finds out she’s pregnant with their second baby
In the July 10 episode of 90 Day Fiancé, Emily takes two pregnancy tests at the pharmacy with Kobe. They reveal the pregnancy results — Emily is pregnant . She says, “I’m seriously pregnant. That’s two tests that say positive.”
Kobe asks her, “So what are we going to do now?” In the interview, Kobe tells the cameras, “Being pregnant right now is not a good thing for us.” Emily corrects him, “It’s not the right timing. We’re still figuring out the relationship, our parenting skills together, we’re in our parents’ house. And it’s the one thing they told us not to do, was have another kid in their house.”
" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/302UR4Aq_1o?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen>As fans know, this isn’t the first time Emily and Kobe have had an unexpected pregnancy. While living in Xi’an, China, Emily found out she was pregnant with their first child. Unfortunately, Emily’s visa was up, and she was forced back to go home to Salina, Kansas, alone and pregnant. Due to coronavirus (COVID-19) causing a massive delay in Kobe’s K-1 visa process, he finally met his son, Koban , for the first time when he was 17 months old.
The ’90 Day Fiancé’ couple decides to keep their pregnancy a secret from Emily’s family
Since Emily, Kobe, and Koban are all living with Emily’s parents, her dad warns her that his only rule is not to have another unplanned pregnancy. Unfortunately, that’s just what happened. Emily decides she wants to keep her pregnancy a secret until after their wedding. She says, “Obviously, we are not going to tell anybody. We’re not telling my family.”
He asks her, “How long can you keep this from my parents?” She replies, “Until I’m showing.” She explains, “They’ve already spent all this money on the wedding. I want it to be a fun time. And then just tell them afterward. Ok?”
Kobe tells the cameras, “I don’t know how I’m going to look at her parents, you know, especially her dad. And I’m just so afraid her family’s going to see some Cameroonian guy who is just interested in having kids without even securing a bright future for the children and stuff like that.”
Of course, Emily’s baby news will be a major shock for Emily’s parents. Fans will have to tune in to find out what happens next in Emily and Kobe’s 90 Day Fiancé journey .
New episodes of 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 air Sundays at 8 pm EST on TLC and to stream on discovery+.

CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The most recent addition to the Sheraton Sand Key Resort culinary staff is 22-year-old prep cook, Jenna Wieneke. Wieneke, almost completely blind following a life-threatening motorcycle accident, was not sure she would ever be able to work again, especially not in a kitchen. But Sheraton Sand Key Resort's award-winning Executive Chef, Andrew Basch has a secret ingredient for joint success.
Since Wieneke connected with Hands On Education Services (www.handsoneducation.net) and Executive Chef Andrew Basch, her life has been forever impacted. "Jenna is one of the most positive people I have ever met, and our entire culinary team loves the energy she brings to the kitchen. She helps us all put life in perspective," said Basch.
Founded in 1998, Hands On Education helps young adults with hands-on training and prepares them for permanent employment. "Many times, people with disabilities are better workers in terms of productivity and speed, but more importantly they appreciate that you gave them the opportunity," explained Hands On Education Program Director, John Ficca.
Basch is paying it forward and making a significant impact in the community with his partnership with the state-funded hospitality training program for adults with disabilities. And by the way, Basch graduated from the Hands On Education program in 2004, and his experience with the program kickstarted an incredibly successful career. Basch currently oversees all culinary operations and four on-site restaurants and bars at Sheraton Sand Key Resort, including Rusty's Bistro, an eight-time consecutive Golden Spoon Awards Winner by Florida Trend Magazine.
Since becoming the Executive Chef in 2019, Basch has made it a priority to give back to the program that helped launch his career and has brought in three students from the Hands On Education program to work as a part of his culinary team.
Sheraton Sand Key Resort is located directly on the beach at Sand Key. Offering 390 rooms and suites overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway, the resort offers a legacy of exceptional hospitality serving guests from around the world.

”Survey says” looks at various rankings and scorecards judging geographic locations while noting these grades are best seen as a mix of artful interpretation and data.
Buzz: A new Californian is likely single, taking a shot at what’s left of the pricey California dream.
Source: My trusty spreadsheets analyzed taxpayer migration data from the IRS for 2020, the pandemic era’s first year. The research looked at household adjusted gross income by tax return and how many people were accounted for on that filing — taxpayer and/or spouse or dependents.
Note: These numbers do not track non-filers, a group that tends to be poorer. But taxpayer stats do hint at where paychecks and retirement funds are headed.
Topline
The average taxpaying American household making an interstate move in 2020 had 1.83 people.
Now consider federal tax returns from Californians new to the state. These households were 10% smaller, averaging 1.66 people. Only five states had smaller move-in households: the District of Columbia at 1.35, Massachusetts and New York at 1.5 and Vermont and Rhode Island at 1.6.
These figures suggest California had an above-average inflow of singles and far fewer inbound couples or families with children. That’s not terribly surprising considering the state’s higher cost of living.
Meanwhile, the size of an ex-California household was roughly the national norm — 1.8 people per household departed, a mid-range No. 27 rank.
Details
This is just more evidence that California, as a place to live, is not very popular with fellow Americans — even if its statewide average income is $101,000, the nation’s sixth-highest.
Just look at the finances of who’s coming and going.
The average adjustable gross income for new Californians in 2020 was $83,100, No. 20 among the states. That’s not family-friendly kind of money.
Wyoming drew the biggest income earners from anywhere in the U.S. at $133,700. Next was Florida at $121,800, Connecticut at $119,100, New Jersey at $98,800 and New Hampshire at $96,000.
Lowest? Mississippi at $54,000, North Dakota at $54,500, Oklahoma and West Virginia at $54,900 and Kentucky at $58,200.
Next, consider the 2020 incomes of exiting Californians.
The households who left made an average $105,100, No. 5 behind Connecticut at $117,600, New York at $114,400 and New Jersey at $107,700.
Lowest exit incomes were found in Mississippi at $51,000, Idaho at $54,300, Montana at $54,700, West Virginia at $57,000 and Louisiana at $58,300.
Now ponder the resulting income differences.
California’s newest residents earned 21% less than those who left. Only two states fared worse: Illinois, 29% less, and New York, 27% less. California tied Nebraska and the District of Columbia.
On the flip side, Wyoming was No. 1 with arriving households earning 94% more than what those who departed made in 2020. Florida was next at 79%, Montana at 64%, Idaho at 56%, and Vermont at 45%.
Remember that lower-income households typically move more frequently to seek better opportunities — but the cost of relocation often limits how far they’ll go.
Nationwide, household incomes averaged $87,000 for folks who didn’t move, interstate movers had $82,000 incomes and those who relocated in-state made $66,500.
Bottom line
So why does California have this odd migration wage gap?
Coronavirus concerns nudged people to move away from densely populated places — and the Golden State has numerous, crowded metropolitan areas.
The widespread availability of remote work motivated moves out of California. And flexible office jobs — a big slice of California’s tech-savvy employment — tend to have higher wages.
Still, California did draw 412,714 new filers and dependents in 2020— the third-largest inflow. But as a share of all Californians, the new blood was just 1.3% of all taxpayers — dead last in the union. The state’s inability to attract other Americans is a big slice of California’s population-growth challenge.
So what places did the best in 2020 at gaining new residents from other states?
The largest share of new residents was found in Washington, D.C. at 7.8% of its taxpaying population, followed by Idaho at 5.5%, Nevada at 5.2%, Wyoming at 5.1% and Delaware at 4.7%. In a year highlighted by keeping your distance from others, note that Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming are among the nine most sparsely populated states. Also, Nevada and Wyoming have no state incomes taxes.
As for California’s main economic rivals, both with no state income taxes, Florida’s attraction rate was No. 16 at 3.7%; Texas was No. 38 at 2.4%.
The big caveat to these relocation trends was the many oddities of the first year of the pandemic. Will these trends stay, speed up or reverse themselves?

FREEPORT, Minn. — Authorities in Minnesota are investigating after two zoo employees were bitten in the head by a camel.
In a news release, the Stearns County Sheriff's Office said that deputies were called to the Hemker Park and Zoo on Wednesday around 2:45 p.m. after receiving a report of an animal bite.
The department said a zoo employee, 32-year-old Roger Blenker, was walking a camel through an alleyway because it was being transported to another facility when the animal placed the employee's head in its mouth and bit them on the head.
The camel then dragged Blenker by the head about 15 feet before another employee intervened, deputies said.
According to the press release, the camel released Blenker's head from its mouth after 32-year-old Seth Wickson put a plastic walking board into the animal's mouth.
Once released from the camel's mouth, the victim stood up on his own and ran to safety, the sheriff's office said.
Deputies said the animal then charged at Wickson and bit him in the head.
He was able to get to safety, officials said.
According to deputies, Blenker was transported to a hospital by a helicopter, and Wickson refused medical treatment.
Blenker's injuries are not known, the department said.
Officials said the cause of the incident is under investigation.
"The zoo is still open to the public," according to the press release. | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/officials-camel-drags-minnesota-zoo-employee-by-head-before-biting-another-employee | 2022-07-14T18:03:51Z | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/officials-camel-drags-minnesota-zoo-employee-by-head-before-biting-another-employee | true | 10 |
Nintendo forms its own CGI production company for games, films, shows

Nintendo has ambitious plans to start creating its own TV shows and films while bolstering the cinematic scenes featured in its games. The company today announced that it has purchased 100% of all remaining shares in Dynamo Pictures, a Japanese studio known for its animation, motion capture, and computer graphics.
In the past, Dynamo has worked on a multitude of projects but will now exclusively focus on Nintendo's mighty arsenal of franchises. "Upon closing of the acquisition, the company name Dynamo pictures is expected to be changed to Nintendo Pictures Co., Ltd. to focus on development of visual content utilizing Nintendo IP," Nintendo said in a press release.
Dynamo's own website says the acquisition was made for the "purpose of continuously producing video content for Nintendo IP."
This is Nintendo's first major splash into the animation market. So far Nintendo has teamed up with third-party studios like Illumination to adapt its new Super Mario Bros. film, but with Dynamo as a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nintendo can technically release new shows faster while retaining full creative control over the content.
Dynamo has worked on the following content:
- Ghost in the Shell SAC 2045 - Season 2
- Monster Strike: The Movie
- Topical-Ju! Precure
- Aya and the Witch
- PIKMIN short films
- Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XV | https://www.tweaktown.com/news/87404/nintendo-forms-its-own-cgi-production-company-for-games-films-shows/index.html | 2022-07-14T18:04:20Z | https://www.tweaktown.com/news/87404/nintendo-forms-its-own-cgi-production-company-for-games-films-shows/index.html | false | 1 |

LONDON (AP) — London’s Metropolitan Police Service has opened an investigation into four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah’s revelation that he was trafficked to the U.K. as a child.
The inquiry comes after Farah, 39, said in a documentary that a woman he didn’t know brought him to the U.K. when he was about 8 years old and forced him to care for her children. He said he wasn’t allowed to go to school until he was 12.
In the documentary, produced by the BBC and Red Bull Studios, Farah said his real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin. He said he was brought to Britain using fake travel documents that included his picture alongside the name Mohammed Farah, the name under which he won four Olympic gold medals and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.
“We are aware of reports in the media concerning Sir Mo Farah. No reports have been made to the MPS at this time,’’ the police department said in a statement. “Specialist officers have opened an investigation and are currently assessing the available information.”
Farah previously said he moved to Britain with his parents as a refugee from Somalia. But in the documentary, he said his parents never came to the U.K.
His father was killed by gunfire during unrest in Somalia when Farah was 4, according to the film. His mother and two brothers live on the family farm in Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia that is not internationally recognized.
Farah said in the documentary that physical education teacher Alan Watkinson helped him obtain U.K. citizenship under the name Mohamed Farah.
The British government has said it won’t take action against Farah for any potential violation of immigration laws.
Farah said he was proud to have represented Britain as an athlete but that his “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,″ he said in a social media post. “Not every child will have the easiest start in life, but that doesn’t mean they can’t go on to achieve their dreams.″ | https://www.fox44news.com/sports/uk-police-open-inquiry-into-farah-trafficking-revelations/ | 2022-07-14T18:10:57Z | https://www.fox44news.com/sports/uk-police-open-inquiry-into-farah-trafficking-revelations/ | true | 41 |

Let us know what you think and join the conversation at the bottom of this article.
The current one-way system on the A-listed bridge linking the Old and New Towns will be kept in place until spring 2023. It had originally been due to reopen after the Festival in August.
Essential repair and replacement works to the concrete deck of the historic bridge have been under way for some time, but the council said further inspections had revealed the poor condition of the concrete within the central part of the deck or “central bay”, meaning that instead of around 35 per cent of it having to be replaced, it now requires full replacement along the entire length of the bridge.
The council has not said how much the increased scope of the work will add to the cost of the project. Councillors agreed in March to allocate more money to the refurbishment, taking the total cost to £62.181m, over £40m more than originally budgeted.
Traffic has been restricted to one southbound lane since November 2021, with pedestrians limited to the eastern footpath. Northbound bus traffic is diverted via Chambers Street, George IV Bridge and the Mound.
These measures were always planned to continue through the Festival period, but the extra work to be carried out means the traffic restrictions will need to be extended to spring 2023.
The council said the central bay was not currently subject to motor traffic and was not considered a health and safety issue at present, but added it was essential these works were completed as soon as possible.
Transport convener Scott Arthur said: “This is an extremely complex project to refurbish Edinburgh’s iconic North Bridge and to ensure its longevity as a key link from the north to the south of the city. The historic nature of the project, the age of the structure and its heritage value finds the team uncovering previously concealed elements of the bridge which require significant specialist work.
“The one-way system on the bridge means this work can be undertaken safely, both on top of the bridge deck and below the road level. Extending the length of time this traffic management is in place will mean the council can complete this section as quickly and as safely as possible. The city engineers tell me it is necessary that these works continue throughout the festival and well into next year. I have been assured that the council is putting additional measures in place to ensure pedestrian safety.
“We’re communicating with local residents, businesses and stakeholders, as well as Lothian Buses, to make sure they’re up-to-date with the changes, and there are clearly signed diversions in place. I’d like to thank everyone for their patience at this time, and look forward to the completion of the project, which will return this Category A Designated structure to its full glory.
“I’ve asked that councillors receive more regular updates on progress going forward, along with details of any budget pressures.” | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/edinburghs-north-bridge-to-remain-partially-closed-for-nine-months-longer-after-council-discovers-more-repairs-needed-3768970 | 2022-07-14T18:15:51Z | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/edinburghs-north-bridge-to-remain-partially-closed-for-nine-months-longer-after-council-discovers-more-repairs-needed-3768970 | false | 1 |

Iyana Halley has a pretty good job. Why? She’s co-starring with Idris Elba in Universal Pictures’ upcoming release, Beast. In the film, which hits theaters on August 19, she portrays Meredith, one of Idris’ daughters on a sightseeing trip to a South African game reserve. However, their journey quickly becomes bloody as the family and their wildlife biologist friend (played by Sharlto Copley) come face-to-face with the massive apex predator hellbent on killing every human it encounters. In addition to Beast, Halley had a standout role in the Oscar nominated, Licorice Pizza and recurs on the ABC hit series Abbott Elementary. She also had a recurring role on the monumental series This Is Us, playing the adult version of Annie Pearson, Sterling K. Brown’s daughter. But first, we talk Beast, working with Idris, and what’s next for this rising young star.

What was your favorite thing about working with Idris Elba? What was a specific moment you can recall about being on-set with him?
Omg, working with Idris was seriously a dream come true. There were so many things I loved about working with him, but I must say that I truly admired his kindness, patience, and humble manner. Working alongside him was like a masterclass, truly. I learned SO much. I was pretty nervous at first, but he made me and everyone else around him feel so comfortable! Another great thing about Idris is that he is such a huge jokester and kept me laughing most of the time we were filming! He also loves music and beatboxing, so during our down times he would make a beat and we’d all start to freestyle songs which was hilarious. It definitely brought us all closer together too, which I really loved. We quickly became a little family!
What can moviegoers expect from Beast?
Moviegoers can expect many twists and turns and a lot of suspense!! I think one of the many cool things about this film is that it has relatable components including family life and issues, and well… we can’t forget the LION!!! It will for sure have everyone on the edge of their seats. I’m most excited to watch it in theaters with other people and hear their reactions! It will definitely keep you on your toes.
We hear you shot in the jungle in South Africa. Had you been before? Was it terrifying/exciting? Is there any particular moment that stood out?
We absolutely shot in the real jungles of South Africa and I can’t lie, I was very nervous at first because I didn’t know what to expect. That was my first time out there but I adapted quickly, to my own surprise! Let me tell you, I am so used to living a city life so being that far away on a whole other continent for 3 months was totally out of my comfort zone. We started our South African journey in Cape Town, which I would compare to Los Angeles actually, then we moved to Limpopo. While in Limpopo, we lived in huts. Yes, real life huts with bamboo ceilings! I would go outside and see horses, baboons, all different kinds of birds, bats, and other things which of course I am not used to. I should also add that I am seriously terrified of bugs and animals but I am so proud of how I was able to overcome all and put my fears aside and unlock a new fearless version of myself! There were so many new things that I have never seen up close and in person. I mean, we went on game drive tours where I took selfies next to rhinos and giraffes! Filming Beast was definitely an experience of a lifetime that I am forever grateful for and will never forget.
How did you prepare for such a vigorous role? What was your fitness routine like in preparation?
Once I was told I booked the role of ‘Mare’, we had about a month before we actually traveled to South Africa. I immediately dived into the script and started breaking it down. This is my biggest role thus far and I wanted to make sure I was fully prepared, of course. In terms of fitness, I have to admit I didn’t realize how much physically was required of me and found myself so out of breath sometimes but I challenged myself in a good way and pushed through all of the vigorous physicality required. This role showed me that I can go far beyond the limits I set for myself, I just have to believe in myself and work hard, which I did! I made sure to do simple things like stretching every morning before work. I now have a trainer lol so I can make sure I will be even more prepared for my next big role!
You play “Adult Annie” on the mega hit series This Is Us. Was saying goodbye as hard for you as it seemed to be for the rest of the cast? Who did you connect with most on set?
It was actually so hard saying goodbye to everyone! My time on the show was brief, so I thought I’d just say my goodbyes and go, but I actually shed some tears when the series wrapped! The cast makes you feel like family. I connected with everyone there, but mostly with my sisters on the show, who are super sweet, and the very talented Sterling K. Brown who played my dad. He is so silly and fun. Every day we worked together he would make everyone laugh! I’m so excited to work with everyone again on different projects in the future.

It’s said that everyone on This Is Us had a role within the cast itself – the photographer, the set mom, etc. What was yours? Who seemed to be most like his/her character?
I definitely played the sweet quiet one, which was funny because I play the adult version of the younger Annie. I didn’t get to meet her, but I was told that we have the same exact mannerisms! Sterling (who plays Randall) is so much like his character, it’s crazy! That super silly quirky Randall you see on TV is just like Sterling when cameras are off!
You were involved in the big episode where Mandy Moore’s character passed away. How did you prepare for it?
That was such a touching episode! I prepared for the role by substituting Rebecca (Mandy Moore) as my great grandma who passed away. That helped me bring out the genuine emotions i needed and made me feel as if she were my actual grandmother. I cried like a baby when that episode aired.
What was the mood on set that day?
The mood for me at that moment was very somber. I think overall everyone knew that the series was ending, and although we all felt grateful and excited to be working together we were still sad knowing the show was coming to an end.
What are five things people might be surprised to learn about you?
Ahh, let’s see!
(1) I know how to sew! For a while, I was making custom outfits for my social media followers and friends/family! I can make patterns and all of that!
(2) I am very family driven.
(3) I am very interested in skincare and run my own business called Haus of Halley Naturals!
(4) I was born in Brooklyn.
(5) I absolutely love traveling!
What’s next?
I do have a couple of projects currently in development, but I have also had the pleasure of being a part of so many cool films/tv shows that are currently available for streaming! My first thriller movie, Wayward, was released in June and I would love you all to check it out! I’ve always dreamed of playing a superhero, so I’m patiently waiting and preparing for that kind of role to come my way. I am also very big on praying and manifesting and I plan to keep working very hard so I know the best is yet to come! I love to be challenged and I am so excited about the journey ahead … so watch this space! | https://hauteliving.com/2022/07/iyana-halley-talks-beast-and-working-with-idris-elba/715920/ | 2022-07-14T18:16:09Z | https://hauteliving.com/2022/07/iyana-halley-talks-beast-and-working-with-idris-elba/715920/ | true | 1 |
Grandview church destroyed by fire overnight, cause under investigation
Fire officials said the building is a total loss

Fire officials said the building is a total loss
Fire crews from three different cities were called in to battle a blaze at a Grandview, Missouri church in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Grandview fire Chief Ron Graham said the call about the fire came in around 12:30 a.m. When crews arrived on the scene, flames were already shooting from the roof of the building that housed Impact Apostolic Church in the 13100 block of U.S. 71 Highway.
Graham said crews ran into the building to fight that fire, however, they were pulled out over concerns the building's roof might collapse.
Crews then moved to a defensive attack and fire units from Kansas City and Belton were called in to help.
"It took a couple of hours to get the fire under control and out," Graham said.
Ultimately the roof of that building did collapse. The building is believed to be a total loss.
Graham said investigators will be back on scene Thursday morning working to determine what caused this fire.

Lebanon minister: Silos destroyed in 2020 blast may collapse
By KAREEM CHEHAYEB
Associated Press
BEIRUT (AP) — A Lebanese minister is warning that the ruins of the Beirut Port silos, destroyed in a massive explosion two years ago, may collapse because of a recently ignited fire that is still smoldering. Hundreds of tons of highly explosive material that had been improperly stored in the port for years, exploded on Aug. 4, 2020, killing over 200 people. The silos withstood the blast but were badly damaged, and left a ruin jutting into the sky. The country’s outgoing economy minister says authorities “don’t want to try to fix something, only to make it worse.” He added that the government is trying to find a solution without further risking the structure’s collapse. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/07/14/lebanon-minister-silos-destroyed-in-2020-blast-may-collapse/ | 2022-07-14T18:21:19Z | https://keyt.com/news/2022/07/14/lebanon-minister-silos-destroyed-in-2020-blast-may-collapse/ | true | null |
Vodka Yonic features a rotating cast of women and nonbinary writers from around the world sharing stories that are alternately humorous, sobering, intellectual, erotic, religious or painfully personal. You never know what you’ll find in this column, but we hope this potent mix of stories encourages conversation.
Recently, I was at home sick with my first head cold since 2019 and had the energy to do exactly one thing: lie on the couch and watch television. I watched all of Lizzo’s new Amazon show, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, in two days.
I cry watching people dance, and sometimes I cry while I dance, though that is exceedingly rare these days. I cried watching Beyoncé during Homecoming. I cry during almost every Lip Sync for Your Life at the end of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I’ve cried in a Zumba class twerking in a gymnasium full of women.
Some of you may not know this, but there was a time not that long ago when we all had to watch network television. There was nothing else. And a very popular reality television show that unfortunately many of us watched consisted of thin people screaming at fat people while they nearly exercised themselves to death. This show shan’t be named, but for our purposes, I’ll call it The Jillian Michaels Screaming Show.
Like so many things about my mid-40s, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls made me wish I had a time machine. I wish I could tell my younger self that nothing is wrong with her or her body. I wish I could tell her not to lose her creative spark, her love of dancing to pop songs and memorizing the choreography to all the popular music videos. I wish I could go back in time and never watch The Jillian Michaels Screaming Show. I wish I could go back in time and meet every single person who made money off of me hating my body and invoice them for all the therapy I’ve had to have. And that’s as a small-fat white woman with considerable privilege and fewer odds stacked against me.
During the pandemic, some people turned to sourdough. I turned to TikTok. I leaned into fat liberation. I started using “fat” as a neutral descriptor for myself. I learned that I don’t actually hate how it feels to be in my body. The thing I hate is society’s response to a person not pursuing thinness. I found community with so many fat and plus-size people just living their lives — wearing cool clothes, dancing, creating book reviews, eating great food, repotting house plants. Turns out, you can just live a whole-ass life at whatever size your body turns out to be. And, spoiler alert, it’s genetically predetermined — but have fun trying to outwit your genes, I guess.
Sometimes we need someone to look to for permission — permission to be ourselves, permission to be fat, permission to be loud. When the contestants on Watch Out for the Big Grrrls meet Lizzo for the first time, I get the sense that Lizzo represents some of this to these women. Throughout the season, no one apologizes for or makes disparaging remarks about their body. Sure, there are some clips where contestants talk about past struggles, but this is not a show about fat and plus-size women who are trying to be thin.
These are women with weight distributed in all kinds of different ways, wearing shorts and sports bras and dancing at a very high impact for long periods of time. I am well aware that weight is no indicator of health or physical endurance — despite living in a thin body and doing Crossfit, The Screaming Show’s trainer Bob Harper went on to have a near-fatal heart attack. But I also rarely get to see fat women moving for joy, especially on a mainstream television show. The Screaming Show did more harm than I think our society can actually reckon with, but the greatest harm it did to me was to teach me that you can’t be fat and healthy. It taught me that you can only be in a fat body in public if you’re trying to lose weight. It taught me that fat people are a problem to be solved, and to be solved by thin white people at that. Thin white people who build brands and make money off of your fat body.
I wish we never talked about Lizzo’s body. I wish her success and immense talent were enough. I wish there were less disbelief that you can be in a larger body and be incredibly physically fit. But unfortunately, we aren’t there yet. I don’t know what it feels like to be Lizzo. How could I? But I know what it felt like to watch her put 13 plus-size women on a television show and dare us not to see their humanity. In the first episode, when the contestants walked into a tent and realized Lizzo would preside over their audition, I cried. | https://www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture/vodkayonic/watch-out-for-the-big-tears/article_714383ec-0168-11ed-8ad8-83c4b59e2676.html | 2022-07-14T18:22:49Z | https://www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture/vodkayonic/watch-out-for-the-big-tears/article_714383ec-0168-11ed-8ad8-83c4b59e2676.html | true | 1 |

"You can't go to a race like this 95% fit.
"Only time will tell, but hopefully he'll be able to get him back - although Michael didn't say anything to me - I'm thinking about York [Juddmonte International] and then the Arc."

…Queues disappear as marketers hike petrol pump price
By Obas Esiedesa
Oil marketers Tuesday unilaterally raised the pump price of petrol from N165 per litre to N185 in disregard to the Federal Government approved pump price of N165 per litre.
The hike which came a day after Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, MOMAN, said the current price was no longer realistic saw the disappearance queues at filling stations around Abuja metropolis.
Checks at some filling stations by Vanguard showed that while some stations raised the price by just N10 per litre, most hiked the price by N20.
At NIPCO filling station in Mabushi District, the price was N175 per litre with few vehicles in the station.
Speaking to Vanguard, a motorist who identified himself as Mallam Ibrahim noted that it was better to buy N175 per litre than to spend four hours on the queue waiting to buy at N165 per litre.
He said: “My friend, is this not better? Why should we spend so much time just to buy petrol? Even though I do not support full deregulation because of its impact on the price of goods, the government should have raised the price a little to accommodate the complaints of the marketers and save people the agony of queuing every time for fuel”.
At Mobil filling station in Karu, the price was N185 per litre without queues also. However, the price remained at N165 per litre at TotalEnergies filling station at Central Business District.
Speaking on the development, the Public Relations Officer, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, Chief Chinedu Ukadike said it was expected as marketers have to cover their cost of operation.
Ukadike explained that the marketers have been running at a loss these past months, pointing out that most stations closed down because of this.
According to him, “Abinitio, we have also stated that there is no way marketers will buy products from private depots who are now selling at N170 and some at N167 depending on the area the tank farm is situated. These private tank farms owners have made it clear that they cannot sell at government approved price.
“Marketers cannot buy at N167-N170 and you expect them to sell at N165. This is why marketers have looked at the high cost of logistics because diesel is at N850 per litre now and to transport product from these wet areas to dry areas cost a lot of money.
“If you look at Abuja you will see that it does not have any depot that supplies petroleum products. All petroleum products in Abuja, Kano and other northern areas of the country are being taken from wet areas like Lagos, Calabar and others which have seaports.
“The products are all imported and Nigeria is heavily dependent on imports because the refineries are not working. So the private tank farms are now used to supply petroleum products to marketers. We are now left in their hands and whatever they sell to us, we will mark up our margins and sell to customers, the end users”, he added.
He explained that pump prices would vary from one filling station to another across the country because of where the product was sourced by the marketer.
“While those (marketers) in Calabar might buy at N170 or those in Port Harcourt at N162 or those in Lagos at N163 depending on how the tank farm owner got his product, if you include cost of logistics and the numerous taxes government have imposed on us, then the end result is what you are seeing”, he stated. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/breaking-marketers-raise-petrol-pump-price-from-n165-to-n185-per-litre/ | 2022-07-14T18:26:24Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/breaking-marketers-raise-petrol-pump-price-from-n165-to-n185-per-litre/ | false | 2 |

DEXILON is the decentralized exchange run on a limit order book powered by the native blockchain, enabling first-of-its-kind trading of crypto, commodities, FX futures and more.
SINGAPORE, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DEXILON, the fully decentralized derivatives exchange, today announces its testnet launch, paving the way for institutional-grade trading derivatives.
DEXILON is a next-generation decentralized derivative exchange and ecosystem which can be utilized to launch derivative contracts for non-crypto assets such as metal, energy and soft commodities, and foreign exchange (FX).
DEXILON – which has raised $2M in seed funding – is backed by GSR, Youbi Capital, Fenbushi Capital, Ledgerprime, and Cipholio Ventures.
"Unlike black box centralized exchanges and slow and expensive decentralized exchanges (DEXs), DEXILON has radically transparent trading logic with lightning execution and highly competitive costs," said Co-Founder Maksym Aptilon.
"We are creating a first-in-class, institutional-grade derivatives DEX infrastructure."
This is all made possible with native blockchain developed specifically to operate a decentralized exchange. The native chain is built on top of the Cosmos SDK and, together with a decentralized matching engine and proprietary oracles, DEXILON aims to open up a new era of trading derivatives.
A heaven for market makers, DEXILON offers a combination of best trading execution perks with a revolutionary fee structure, all aimed to substantially reduce the cost of running market making. For example, there is no gas cost for the trader but rather it is covered as a portion of taker fees. "Once we reach deep liquidity, retail will follow in search of more transparent ways to trade derivatives," Maksym continues.
DEXILON aims to be the cheapest all-in trading solution, boasting features to protect the market from flash crashes. For this, the team developed an innovative liquidation pool where users can bid for a liquidated position instead of selling them off in the market. The idea comes from a traditional finance strategy called block trading. "We are creating new profit frontiers unseen in other exchanges," Maksym said.
Founded in 2021, DEXILON plans its mainnet launch for later this year. For more information, visit the website and blog.

How Gut Microbes Can Evolve and Become Dangerous
How Gut Microbes Can Evolve and Become Dangerous
Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "How Gut Microbes Can Evolve and Become Dangerous"
Gut microbes have been linked to both good health and the promotion of diseases such as autoimmune disorders, inflammatory bowel diseases, metabolic syndrome, and even neuropsychiatric disorders.
One popular explanation for these bad outcomes has been what is called the “leaky gut” hypothesis — in which potentially damaging bacteria are said to escape the intestine, triggering a chronic inflammatory response that can contribute to a variety of diseases.
“But one mystery has been how potentially pathogenic bacteria can exist in healthy people for decades with no apparent health consequences,” said Noah Palm, assistant professor of immunobiology at Yale.
In a new study published July 13, Palm and a team of Yale scientists offer new insights into this mystery. Writing in the journal Nature, they describe how gut bacteria can evolve over time, becoming more pathogenic by gaining the ability to migrate across the gut barrier and persist in organs outside of the intestine, thereby driving chronic inflammation and associated pathologies.
For the study, the Yale team studied the genetics and behavior of a species of potentially pathogenic bacteria which they introduced into germ-free mice, a species that lacks its own gut microbes. Over time, they found that these microbes diverged into two distinct populations: one that behaved similarly to the ancestral strain, and another that acquired tiny DNA mutations that allowed them to live in the mucosal linings of the intestine and persist in the lymph nodes and liver after escaping the gut.
Unlike traditional pathogens that prompt rapid immune clearance, these small colonies of relocated bacteria remain semi-hidden in organs and can avoid the attention of the immune system — at least temporarily. However, the authors found that their presence over time can eventually trigger inflammatory pathologies such as autoimmune diseases. This phenomenon may at least partially explain why some people with potentially pathogenic bacteria never get sick, but why the risk of illness increases with age, the researchers say.
This ability of gut bacteria to become more pathogenic is driven by a phenomenon referred to as “within-host evolution,” which explains why individual bacterial species living in our intestines are able to adapt and evolve over the course of our lifetimes, the researchers say. This finding suggests that environmental factors which influence the pace or trajectory of within-host evolution will also have important effects on the development of microbiota-driven disease. For instance, people who consume a healthy diet tend to develop diverse bacterial communities in their guts. This means that many different microbes must compete for space and resources, limiting the population size of any individual species and thus depressing the chances that potentially unhealthy variants will emerge and escape the gut. However, in less diverse bacterial communities more niches may open up within the intestines, increasing the likelihood that damaging bacterial variants will arise, Palm explained.
“These bacteria are essentially pre-adapted to exist in organs outside the intestine,” Palm said. “We believe that this evolutionary process starts over in each new host due to the preferential transmission of non-pathogenic strains between individuals.”
Understanding the role of within-host evolution in shaping bacterial behavior in the gut, he added, may eventually reveal novel therapeutic interventions that can restrict or redirect this process to prevent the development of diverse diseases associated with “leaky gut.”

Twitter is telling its employees that it’s not planning any companywide layoffs, but there could be some restructuring and organization changes as it heads into a legal battle over the potential sale to Elon Musk.
The San Francisco company included the communication in a filing Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It also says Twitter is losing workers at a slightly higher rate than in normal economic times, but attrition is in line with current tech industry trends. The company says it will monitor turnover “to ensure that we can quickly identify any areas of concern and help mitigate where possible.”
Twitter said it had planned to offer packages to retain employees, and on June 20, it had asked Musk to agree to programs that had been approved by the board and its compensation committee. The filing said that Musk has “not provided his consent to implement these programs.”
The employee question-and-answer document attached to the filing says that teams across the company are making changes so it operates responsibly and efficiently in the current environment. That means restructuring and organizational changes are possible “as we continue to align with our revised business needs.”
Twitter sued Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday, trying to force him to complete his $44 billion takeover of the social media company by accusing him of “outlandish” and “bad faith” actions that have caused the platform irreparable harm and “wreaked havoc” on its stock price.
Back in April, Musk pledged to pay $54.20 a share for Twitter Inc., which agreed to those terms after reversing its initial opposition to the deal. But the two sides have been bracing for a legal fight since the billionaire said Friday that he was backing away from his agreement to buy the company.
Twitter’s lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court asserts that “Musk refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests.”
Part of Musk’s argument for terminating the deal is his allegation that Twitter broke the acquisition agreement when it fired two top managers and laid off a third of its talent-acquisition team. But in its lawsuit, Twitter reveals communications from Musk starting shortly after the deal was signed showing his concerns about “headcount and expense growth” and his desire for more aggressive cost-cutting.
Twitter said Musk “refused to approve — or even discuss — Twitter’s proposed retention programs for key employees.”
“Musk had notice back in early May of many of the actions about which he now complains for the first time,” the lawsuit says. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/technology/ap-technology/twitter-attrition-up-a-bit-companywide-layoffs-not-planned/ | 2022-07-14T18:30:00Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/technology/ap-technology/twitter-attrition-up-a-bit-companywide-layoffs-not-planned/ | false | 32 |
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals will be without 10 of the 26 players on their active roster for their upcoming trip to Toronto due to Canadian restrictions on travelers who aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19.
Manager Mike Matheny said Wednesday the club will be without hitters Andrew Benintendi, Hunter Dozier, Cam Gallagher, Kyle Isbel, MJ Melendez, Whit Merrifield and Michael A. Taylor along with pitchers Dylan Coleman, Brad Keller and Brady Singer.
The team is set to play four games in Toronto. The 10 players will be placed on the restricted list and forfeit four days of pay and major league service time in accordance with the terms of MLB’s collective bargaining agreement.
“It’s an individual choice,” Matheny said. “The organization’s done a real good job bringing in professionals and experts to talk guys through tough conversations and then put it in their hands to make the decisions they believe is best for them and their families.”
Benintendi will lose $186,813, Merrifield $153,846, Keller $106,044 and Dozier and Taylor $98,901 each. Among the others, the lost pay for Gallagher will be $19,451, Singer $15,962, Isbel $15,426, Coleman $15,399 and Melendez $15,385.
The club will name their replacements Thursday, along with an announcement about other staff who won’t be traveling with the club.
“Now what it presents is an opportunity for some young guys to step in who wouldn’t normally be here,” Matheny said. “It will affect what we’re doing rotation-wise and that will be another question that we’ll have to answer later. I’m excited about some guys coming in and getting a chance.”
Players cited personal decisions for themselves and their families behind their reasoning to not be vaccinated.
“It was a choice I made talking with my family, talking with my wife,” Merrifield said. “I didn’t think that the risk was worth it, honestly.
“I don’t feel like COVID is a threat to me,” he added.
The unvaccinated players said they felt teammates supported their decisions.
“We’ve talked to these guys, they’re not judging us at all,” Dozier said. “They have our backs. I don’t think we’ve ever dealt with something like this, where we’re being forced to take a vaccine just to go play over in Toronto. It’s just a weird situation. It’s unfortunate.”
“(The) staff, owner, GM, everybody, it’s been really cool to see how they’re handling it,” Coleman said. “Not like forcing it. I feel like we all have our own opinion, so it’s been really good that the higher-ups respect that.”
Merrifield had the majors’ longest active games played streak at 553 before a foot injury kept him out of action Sunday. He said he might change his mind if a similar circumstance presented itself later in the year.
“That might change down the road,” he said. “If something happens and I happen to get on a team that has a chance to go play in Canada in the postseason, maybe that changes. As we sit here right now, I’m comfortable with my decision.”
John Schneider, the Blue Jays’ new manager, said his team won’t take Kansas City lightly.
“A little bit surprising, but the rules are the rules. We live by them and the rest of the league lives by them,” Schneider said in Toronto. “Definitely not a series you’re going to take lightly going into the break. You kind of see who they have, you game plan accordingly, and hopefully build off this two-game series (sweep) against the Phillies.”
Schneider was promoted from bench coach to interim manager for the remainder of the season when Toronto fired Charlie Montoyo on Wednesday.

Firefighter rescues puppy with soup can stuck on its head
KNOX COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT/Gray News) – A Kentucky firefighter was in the right place at the right time to give a puppy a helping hand Monday.
According to a post on the Richland Fire Department’s Facebook page, firefighter Shane Ledford came across a puppy that had a soup can stuck on its head while working at his other job for a trash pick-up company.
The fire department says coincidentally, Ledford had just taken part in a first aid training class for pets days before.
Without the use of any special tools, and while an angry momma dog looked on, Ledford was able to “extricate the puppy” from the situation.
Since they see so much pain and destruction, the fire department says it was nice for them to be able to share a post that had a happy ending.

(CNN) - A new universal suicide crisis hotline is launching across the United States this week.
The phone number is 988 and will be available in every state starting Saturday.
Year after year, tens of thousands of people in the U.S. take their own lives. In 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it happened every 11 minutes.
The national suicide prevention lifeline will have trained counselors available 24/7.
The current number, 1-800-273-TALK (8255), will also stay in place.

Brought to you by Whanganui Rugby
The rivalry that has defined the better part of a decade of WRFU Tasman Tanning Premier rugby will record yet another bruising chapter at Cooks Gardens on Saturday.
Byford's Readimix Taihape and Waverley Harvesting Border will play their third grand final against each other in the last four years, and their fourth in the previous seven for the handful of remaining veterans in both lineups who have been involved for that length of time.
Historically, Border holds the edge 2-1, but every single game has been a thriller, one including extra time.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.This year, with both the squad and coach Tom Wells motivated by not having played in four straight years of finals after a shock 2021 semi-final upset by Wanganui Car Centre Kaierau, and with the team being augmented by representative forwards from nearby Ruapehu, Taihape has surpassed the somewhat war-weary Border, picking up two comfortable round-robin victories, including their first ever win in Waverley.
However, Border still have so many proven champions, and under coach Cole Baldwin have looked to carefully manage their squad through the kind of injury and illness-riddled season which has stymied Premier squads in years past.
Through all that pressure, Wells and Baldwin have displayed a civility perhaps previously unseen, ending each other complimentary text messages over this past week. It would appear that when you have battled so often for so long, one cannot help but develop a deep respect.
"We've had our run-ins but, like he said, both of us are trying to do the best for our clubs," said Wells.
The coach confirmed his side came through their muddy mauling of Kaierau in the semi-final relatively unscathed – lock and captain Matt Brown came off early as a precaution, but will lead the team onto the field.
"He's just an old battler, he'll be right. Only 30-odd but acts like he's 40," said Wells.
"Everyone's got their knocks and niggles, being a semi-final.
"But I was just on the phone to [assistant coach] Gareth Hagan, trying to work out how to get 24 guys into 22 spots without breaking too many hearts."

Advertise with NZME.Last year, it was future Taranaki and Highlanders winger Vereniki Tikoisolomone who led the Premier try-scoring charts with 23 for Border, but this season it's the 5m off the tryline ruck that has been owned by Taihape prop Gabriel Hakaraia, scoring 12 times.
Tyler Rogers-Holden has been the grade's form fullback, while the Whales – Ben and Dane – will have crucial roles, one with the carries, the other with the boot.
Taihape have an embarrassment of riches alongside Ben Whale in the loose forwards with Regan Collier, Lennox Shanks and multiple-time Premier player of the year Jamie Hughes all worthy starters.
Look for lock Peter-Travis Hay-Horton to lead around the fringes, being amongst the players gutted they did not get to run-it-back with Border in 2021, after playing all the rugby but still losing to goal-kicking in 2020's final.
"Last year, I don't know what the word is for it; it was such a letdown," said Wells.
"This year it's a different team. We've got the team to do it, we know that, it's just turning up on the day.

Advertise with NZME."It's finals, they'll be very good, so it's going to be tight, but we've everything in place."
Border, on the other side, has not had the same depth that defined their previous dominant seasons, not helped by their Senior team folding halfway through the campaign.
It took all their big match experience to just hold on in the semi-final against newcomers Settler's Honey Ngamatapouri, although Baldwin is right to point out just how much their fellow South Taranaki club has grown with an influx of backline talent.
"It was a bloody good game, that Ngamat team's improved a lot. Get their set-piece right, and they'll roll some teams.
"That first 10 minutes was the best we've played in two years, it's just a matter of making it go longer.
"Taihape does have the depth and they've been the most consistent team in the competition.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME."But it all comes down to a one-off game - what happens in the past counts for nothing."
First-five Craig Clare delivered under pressure against Ngamatapouri, and he and fellow general Lindsay Horrocks will be back in their element at Cooks Gardens.
Although they will have a hard day in the engine room against an all-representative Taihape pack, Border's forwards remain worthy of respect.
Prop Hamish Mellow, lock Toby Lennox and No. 8 Semi Vodosese showed some great offloading skills last week, while prop Ranato Tikoisolomone, lock Jack Hodges and loose forward Kieran Hussey have been to the big dance enough times to remember all the steps.
While the team will miss their injured young blindside flanker Tobias Stark, on the openside co-captain Angus Middleton has no problem wearing the black hat, and will look to spoil Taihape's ball every chance he gets.
Their test will come if the weather stays wet and turns the match into a muddy set-piece battle, where Taihape thrive.

Advertise with NZME."There's been no rugby on Cooks this year so [the field] may hold up, it's going to be what it's going to be," said Baldwin.
"We don't have the huge speed we had in the past, so it's a matter of everyone doing their jobs the best they could possibly do.
"[Against Ngamatapouri] they dug deep, had to go to a dark place, and that's how finals rugby should be."
And if they can emerge from that dark place into the light, Border will have created history by becoming only the third club after Ohakune-Karioi (1984- 86) and Ratana (2001-03) to win a top grade WRFU three-peat.
"There's a reason why not many teams do it, because it's so hard to do," said Baldwin.
"It's going to be a big ask, but my players will be up for it come Saturday."

This story also includes descriptions of rape and sexual assault.
Most people know Debbie Millman as the voice behind Design Matters, the long-running podcast about design and creative culture.
But many don’t know she’s also a survivor of childhood sexual assault — a story she shared in the Philadelphia Inquirer and with Here & Now.
When she was in elementary school, Millman’s stepfather began abusing her — first with inappropriate touching in the shower then eventually escalating to repeated rapes.
At 11 years old, she was alone and terrified.
“I think what made it particularly confusing for me at the time was that I’d never heard of anything like this,” Millman says. “I didn’t think it was possible that anybody else could be going through what I was going through.”
Millman’s stepfather said if she told anyone about the abuse they wouldn’t believe her. He also threatened to kill her mother and little brother.
“I really believed him,” she remembers.
Millman did whatever she could to prevent the abuse.
“I tried to stay in school as long as I possibly could,” she says. “I would put on several pairs of pajamas, one on top of the other, to try to make it be longer until he could get to me in the hopes that somebody might interrupt.”
None of it worked. And when Millman began menstruating, she worried she would get pregnant.
“I was irregular, as most young girls are, without realizing that that’s normal. I began to worry that I might have conceived and that terrified me because then I was between telling someone and risking the lives of my mother and my little brother or becoming pregnant in seventh grade,” she says. “I lived in terror with that knowledge for quite some time before I could figure out what to do.”
In desperation, Millman contemplated suicide.
“I thought about ending my own life. In an effort to protect my mother and my brother and avoid the humiliation and the trauma of anybody finding out,” she says. “I was afraid people would blame me because… These things weren’t discussed and I had no idea what I had done to deserve something like this.”
But it never came to that, because when Millman found out the Supreme Court had passed Roe v. Wade which guaranteed the national right to an abortion, everything changed.
“I was such an avid reader of the paper that when Roe v. Wade was passed, I read about it and thought that would be my way out,” she says. “I could somehow save myself with this new right that I had been given. And it saved me from killing myself.”
Millman says without Roe v. Wade she likely wouldn’t be here today. She was devastated when she learned that the landmark ruling was overturned.
“I was catatonic. I was just beside myself,” she says. “I started to cry thinking about all of the young women and all women, period, that might be in a situation either similar to mine or analogous and thought, ‘How were these women going to be saved?’”
Millman worries about the future of those in vulnerable situations like hers.
“What will that mean to the rest of their lives?,” she asks. “To give birth to a child that is conceived through rape or sexual assault. What kind of life will the mother have and what kind of life will the child have?
“It would be vile to do that,” Millman adds. “The genetic trauma that gets passed from generation to generation, which we now know exists, will seem to be infinite.”

NBA rumors suggest the Brooklyn Nets wanted a package that included two first-round picks, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis, in exchange for Kyrie Irving from the LA Lakers.
Speaking to Jeff Skversky on Sportskeeda's exclusive podcast Insider The Huddle, Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson said:
"The Lakers was more of a manufactured idea from an organizational perspective. With Kyrie, in order to make that work from a Nets organizational perspective Nets wanted two first-round picks, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis and the Lakers didn't want to give up Anthony Davis in that scenario."
Robinson added:
"If Kai had opted out, which he didn't, he would've had to get the $6 million mid-level exception, and he's given up $14 million last year, so he opted into kinda, as the great DJ Khaled would say 'secure the bag.'
"In doing so, in order to make those contracts work, you would have to move both Russell Westbrook, who's on the books to make I believe $47 million next season because he opted in as well.
"But Anthony Davis and two first-round picks would have to be a part of it. From my understanding, Rob Pelinka with the Lakers and also from Sean Marks perspective, they were at a standstill."
LA Lakers have backup plans ready if they fail to acquire Kyrie Irving
The LA Lakers have been adamant about keeping Anthony Davis. He remains a core component of the Lakers setup. Davis is one of the top two-way players in the NBA, and there aren't many players of his talent and potential available on the trade market.
The Lakers would struggle to surround LeBron James and Kyrie Irving if the speculated deal featuring Russell Westbrook and Davis went through. So if the Brooklyn Nets still want Davis and two first-round picks for Irving, who is on an expiring deal, it won't be ideal for the Lakers to pursue the Nets star.
The LA Lakers have continued to explore trades in exchange for Russell Westbrook. According to NBA rumors, they have identified Indiana Pacers duo Buddy Hield and Myles Turner and Rockets' veteran guard Eric Gordon as targets. They will turn towards the duo should they fail to land Kyrie Irving.
The Lakers desperately need to add impact role players around LeBron James and Anthony Davis to stay competitive in the stacked Western Conference. The Russell Westbrook experiment failed miserably, and it would be a huge gamble if the Lakers continue with him on their roster next season.
LA's marquee signings this offseason have been Lonnie Walker IV and Thomas Bryant thus far. The team doesn't look as threatening, certainly not against their conference rivals.
With only one year left on LeBron's deal, the Lakers have a small window to improve and win another title. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-exclusive-nets-wanted-2-first-round-picks-russell-westbrook-anthony-davis-nba-insider-speculated-kyrie-irving-trade-terms-lakers-calls-manufactured-idea | 2022-07-14T18:41:11Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-exclusive-nets-wanted-2-first-round-picks-russell-westbrook-anthony-davis-nba-insider-speculated-kyrie-irving-trade-terms-lakers-calls-manufactured-idea | true | 1 |
250th anniversary of US War of Independence ‘chance to lift haggis ban’
The traditional Scottish dish has been prohibited by the US since 1971 as it contains sheep lungs.
Ending a US ban on haggis and transatlantic Boston tea parties were among the suggestions made in Parliament to mark the 250th anniversary – or semiquincentennial – of the American War of Independence.
The ideas were put forward as a Government minister was urged to “put on his thinking cap” ahead of the commemorations of the revolutionary conflict that ran from 1775-1783 and saw the colonies break away from British rule.
Events to mark the historic insurrection that gave birth to the superpower of today are due to get under way in 2025.
Liberal Democrat Lord Purvis of Tweed highlighted the strong links between Scotland and the US.
On possible gifts to mark the forthcoming anniversary, he said: “The minister could perhaps think about an aged bottle of whisky, which I know the minister and I both enjoy, but it is also an opportunity for America to withdraw its ban on haggis.”
The traditional Scottish dish has been prohibited by the US since 1971 as it contains sheep lungs.
Responding, Tory frontbencher Lord Sharpe of Epsom said: “I will certainly take the haggis suggestion back, although I am not sure that I can make any promises.”
Tory peer Lord Cormack proposed suggestions could be submitted to the British-American Parliamentary Group.
He said: “I will submit one now. Would it not be a marvellous thing to have two tea parties, in Boston, USA, and in the wonderful city of Boston, Lincolnshire, with the American President attending the latter and Prince Charles attending the former?”
This was a reference to the defiant act of 1773 in which colonists dumped a cargo of British tea into Boston harbour in a protest over taxation.
The issue of plans for the “semiquincentennial commemorations” of the American War of Independence were raised at Westminster by Labour peer Lord Faulkner of Worcester.
He pointed out there had been a state visit by the Queen to the US to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 1976, as well as the loan of an original copy of the Magna Carta.
Lord Faulkner said: “Would the minister like to put on his thinking cap and come up with some equally imaginative suggestions for 2026?”
He suggested a joint project to identify and rededicate the graves of British soldiers on revolutionary war battlefields.
Lord Sharpe said: “I thank him for his question and also for a rare opportunity to use the word ‘semiquincentennial’ in conversation.
“US planning for the 250th anniversary of independence in 2026 is still in its early stages, so plans are not yet fully formed.
“He makes some very good suggestions which I will happily take back, because I particularly like the battlefield idea.
“There are no immediate plans for a state visit, but I am sure that is something that will be considered.”
Earlier, Lord Sharpe told peers: “The closeness of our relationship today is testament to the work of generations of Americans and Britons over a quarter of a millennium.
“We have come a long way since 1776 and the American war of independence, and we look forward to marking and celebrating the success of the modern UK-US partnership in 2026.”

Comedian Rhod Gilbert announces he is receiving treatment for cancer
The 53-year-old said he felt he was in ‘the best possible hands’.
Comedian Rhod Gilbert has announced he is being treated for cancer and will be “disappearing for a while” to focus on his recovery.
The Welsh stand-up, 53, shared a message on his official Facebook page thanking the staff at Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff, where he is being treated.
Gilbert said that prior to his diagnosis he had been a patron of the centre for a decade but “never imagined” he would become a patient there.
He did not confirm the type of cancer he is being treated for.
A regular guest on shows such as Would I Lie to You?, QI and Mock the Week, Gilbert also hosted the final series of Never Mind the Buzzcocks in 2015.
He said: “As a proud patron of Velindre Cancer Centre, I’ve trekked the world, hosted chaotic quizzes and star-studded comedy nights.
“I’ve met and made friends with so many inspirational staff, patients and their families. It has been a huge part of my life for the last ten years.
“So while I never imagined that I would be a patient here, I know better than anyone that I am in the best possible hands. The NHS care I’m receiving is incredible.
“I wouldn’t wish this on anyone … but who knows, maybe I’ll come out the other end with a new stand-up show and a 40-minute rant about orange squash.”
Gilbert thanked his close friends and family for their support “over the last few weeks and months (and years)”.
He added: “I’ll be disappearing for a while and won’t be commenting further, at least not for now, whilst I focus on my recovery.”
Velindre Cancer Centre said in a statement on its Facebook page: “For over 10 years, patron Rhod Gilbert has provided exceptional support for Velindre Cancer Charity and has always been an advocate for the passionate efforts of our Velindre Cancer Centre staff, donors and fundraisers.
“Rhod has become a special member of our Velindre family and we are sure you will join us in sending him your very best wishes during this time.”
Gilbert married his long-term partner, writer and comedian Sian Harries, in 2013.

Kyle Kuzma recently held a camp for young kids and one of the interactions that he ran into with a youngster that was in his camp is one of the funniest things you’ll see this week.
The former Los Angeles Lakers role player has turned into a great NBA player for the Washington Wizards and is coming off the best year of his career. If he can continue playing the way that he did for the Wizards for the next few years, he’s going to get a huge payday in the coming years. He finished the 2021 regular season averaging 17.1 points per game and 8.5 rebounds. He shot 45.2% from the field, showing that the efficiency was also there.
Little Kid Doesn’t Know Who Kyle Kuzma Is
The interaction that the two of them had was probably one of the funniest things that we’ve seen all week. Kyle Kuzma almost looked dumbfounded when he heard the kid ask who he was because it was his own camp.
The little kids simply couldn’t believe that this was the Kyle Kuzma that won an NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers and he believed somebody that didn’t even look like him was the actual Kuzma.
“Who am I? Yeah, I’m him. I’m him. What in the world, that’s crazy. Who am I then? You don’t know who I am? You hear this guy? He’s asking where Kyle Kuzma’s at.”
Kyle Kuzma’s Future With The Wizards Is An Interesting One
The future of the Washington Wizards in general is an interesting one. They decided to give Bradley Beal a super-max contract and although that is probably a smart decision from their standpoint, they’re going to have to go out and do more if they want to be a competitive team in the Eastern Conference.
The Eastern Conference is loaded right now and if Washington doesn’t go out and make the necessary moves and surround guys like Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma with the right pieces, the future in Washington could be an interesting one. They might decide to move him if the right opportunity does come up. It’s going to take a few years for Washington to be the team that they want to be, but outside of keeping Bradley Beal, they really haven’t done much this offseason. | https://thesportsdaily.com/news/watch-little-kid-doesnt-believe-kyle-kuzma-is-the-real-kyle-kuzma/ | 2022-07-14T18:44:35Z | https://thesportsdaily.com/news/watch-little-kid-doesnt-believe-kyle-kuzma-is-the-real-kyle-kuzma/ | true | 1 |
Mario Draghi said he would resign as Italian prime minister on Thursday, after a party in his ruling coalition did not participate in a confidence vote.
"I will tender my resignation to the president of the republic this evening," Draghi told the cabinet, according to a statement released by his office.
"The national unity coalition that backed this government no longer exists," added Draghi, the former European Central Bank president who has been prime minister of a broad coalition since February 2021.
The confidence vote had become a focal point for tensions within Draghi's government as its parties prepare to fight each other in a national election due by early 2023.
The decision by the 5-Star party to boycott the confidence vote on Thursday had plunged Italy into political uncertainty and risked undermining efforts to secure billions of euros in European Union funds, tackle a damaging drought and reduce its reliance on Russian gas.
Draghi raised the stakes by saying he would not want to lead a government without 5-Star, who emerged as the largest party in the previous election in 2018 but have since suffered defections and a loss of public support.
It could lead to national elections as early as September or October after other coalition parties said there should be a vote if 5-Star no longer backed the government.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has voiced strong criticism of the HSE at a private meeting of the Fianna Fáil party.
Speaking to his own TDs and senators, Mr Donnelly hit out at the poor record of recruitment within the health service as well as the length of time it takes the HSE to build new buildings.
Sources said Mr Donnelly singled out University Hospital Galway as an example of unnecessary delays.
“We talk about the emergency department in Galway,” he told his colleagues.
“Just the facilities in Galway are not up to scratch. I got on to Paul Reid telling him you have to accelerate the plan for Galway.”
Meath senator Shane Cassells delivered a furious speech directed at Taoiseach Micheál Martin about the proposal to downgrade the emergency department at Our Lady’s Hospital in Navan.
He said as “a Meath man”, he would not be “lectured” to by medical people who do not have to go before the people for election.
“Remember 13 years ago, Navan was identified as the site for the new regional hospital in the North East,” he said.
"So when people talk about political interference in this … don’t talk to me about political interference.
“My town was designated for the regional hospital. And why did it not happen, because Dermot Ahern got up and said not one red cent will be allocated to a hospital in Navan.”
“So don’t talk to me about political interference when in this very room, political interference stopped a regional hospital being built in Navan,” he thundered.
“Political interference stopped Navan then, but political interference is going to save Navan Hospital now,” he added.
“They think it is right and proper to send people to queue for 13 hours in Drogheda,” he added.
Cavan TD Niamh Smyth and senator Eugene Murphy backed Mr Cassells, with Mr Murphy saying: “Don’t give in to the HSE on Navan.”
At the meeting, Kilkenny TD John McGuinness called on Mr Donnelly to explain why victims of the CervicalCheck scandal are being subjected to “barbaric” treatment at the tribunal established by the minister. | https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/politics/arid-40918499.html | 2022-07-14T18:49:51Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/politics/arid-40918499.html | true | 2 |
Thursday Jul 14, 2022
A bride called off her wedding with the groom over his dark complexion last week in Uttar Pradesh’s Bharthana village.
The bride, Neeta Yadav, did two pheras (walking in circles at a traditional Hindu wedding) when she announced that the groom, Ravi Yadav, was “too dark” for her liking.
The couple had already exchanged wedding garlands beforehand, however, the issue took place when the actual ceremony began.
The bride decided to call off her wedding, saying that this was not the same groom that she was shown before.
The family tried persuading the bride for six hours but they failed to convince her.
The groom's family then left the wedding ceremony and launched a complaint against the bride's family for not returning the gifts they had given her. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/427618-indian-bride-cancels-wedding-says-groom-is-too-dark | 2022-07-14T18:53:08Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/427618-indian-bride-cancels-wedding-says-groom-is-too-dark | false | null |

An Ohio man was charged in the rape of a 10-year-old who traveled to Indiana for an abortion
A Columbus man has been charged with raping a 10-year-old Ohio girl who then had to travel to Indiana seeking an abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, according to court proceedings CNN obtained through affiliate WBNS.
Rumors of the case garnered national and international attention, with some U.S. political leaders referencing it in conversations about abortion bans.
Gerson Fuentes, 27, was arrested Tuesday, according to Columbus police and court documents. He has been charged with felony rape of a minor under age 13, according to the Franklin County Municipal Court. His first court appearance was Wednesday.
Fuentes is being held on $2 million bond, according to the court. CNN has reached out to his attorney for comment.
Fuentes admitted to authorities he raped the young girl on at least two occasions, Det. Jeffrey Huhn testified Wednesday at Fuentes' arraignment.
Police first were alerted to the child's pregnancy in late June through a referral by a local children services department that was made by the 10-year-old's mother, Huhn testified.
The girl underwent a medical abortion in Indianapolis on June 30, the detective testified. DNA from the Indianapolis clinic was being tested against samples from Fuentes and the child's siblings, Huhn said.
Fuentes' next court appearance is July 22, court documents show.
In a statement Wednesday, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said, "My heart aches for the pain suffered by this young child."
"I am grateful for the diligent work of the Columbus Police Department in securing a confession and getting a rapist off the street," Yost said. "Justice must be served and (the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation) stands ready to support law enforcement across Ohio putting these criminals behind bars."
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, an Ohio law banning abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy went into effect.
Indianapolis-based OBGYN Dr. Cailin Bernard told CNN earlier this month that after being contacted by a child abuse doctor in neighboring Ohio, she recently helped a 10-year-old girl have an abortion in Indiana. The young girl was six weeks and three days into the pregnancy, Bernard told CNN.
The doctor said she saw an immediate influx of patients seeking abortions in Indiana, particularly from bordering states Kentucky and Ohio, which passed laws severely limiting abortion care following the Supreme Court decision.
The Columbus Dispatch newspaper was first to report on the case and arrest. The Columbus Police Department would not immediately provide additional details on the arrest.
"Out of compassion for victims, we will not comment on any rapes of juveniles," Columbus police spokesperson Sgt. Joe Albert told CNN.
CNN has reached out to the Ohio attorney general, Franklin County Child Services and an Indiana-based abortion provider for additional details. | https://www.wyff4.com/article/ohio-man-charged-rape-10-year-old-indiana-abortion/40614668 | 2022-07-14T18:58:59Z | https://www.wyff4.com/article/ohio-man-charged-rape-10-year-old-indiana-abortion/40614668 | false | 29 |

The euro has hit parity with the dollar, falling to its lowest level in 20 years and even skirting just below a one-to-one exchange rate with the U.S. currency at times this week.
It's a psychological barrier in the markets. But psychology is important, and the euro's slide underlines the foreboding in the 19 European countries using the currency as they struggle with an energy crisis caused by Russia's war in Ukraine.
Here's why the euro's slide is happening and what impact it could have:
WHAT DOES EURO AND DOLLAR PARITY MEAN?
It means the European and American currencies are worth the same amount.
A currency's exchange rate can be a verdict on economic prospects, and Europe's have been fading. Expectations that the economy would see a rebound after turning the corner from the COVID-19 pandemic are being replaced by recession predictions.
More than anything, higher energy prices and record inflation are to blame. Europe is far more dependent on Russian oil and natural gas than the U.S. to keep industry humming and generate electricity. Fears that the war in Ukraine will lead to a loss of Russian oil on global markets have pushed oil prices higher. And Russia has been cutting back natural gas supplies to the European Union, which EU leaders described as retaliation for sanctions and weapons deliveries to Ukraine.
Energy prices have driven euro-area inflation to a record 8.6% in June, making everything from groceries to utility bills more expensive. They also have raised fears about governments rationing natural gas to industries like steel, glassmaking and agriculture if Russia further reduces or shuts off the gas taps completely.
The sense of doom increased when the major Nord Stream 1 pipeline from Russia to Germany closed Monday for scheduled maintenance, raising fears the Kremlin won't restart deliveries this month.
“What’s the fall in the Euro saying? It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Euro zone is heading into recession,” Robin Brooks, chief economist at the Institute of International Finance banking trade group, tweeted Tuesday.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE EURO WAS EQUAL TO THE DOLLAR?
The euro hasn't been valued below $1 since July 15, 2002. While constantly changing, it has dropped just under a $1 at times this week.
The European currency hit its all-time high of $1.18 shortly after its launch on Jan. 1, 1999, but then began a long slide, falling through the $1 mark in February 2000 and hitting a record low of 82.30 cents in October 2000. It rose above parity in 2002 as large trade deficits and accounting scandals on Wall Street weighed on the dollar.
Then as now, what appears to be a euro story is also in many ways a dollar story. That’s because the U.S. dollar is still the world’s dominant currency for trade and central bank reserves. And the dollar has been hitting 20-year highs against the currencies of its major trading partners, not just the euro.
The dollar is also benefiting from its status as a safe haven for investors in times of uncertainty.
WHY IS THE EURO FALLING?
Many analysts attribute the euro's slide to expectations for rapid interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve to combat 40-year highs in inflation, which hit an annual 9.1% on Wednesday.
As the Fed raises interest rates, the rates on interest-bearing investments tend to rise as well. If the Fed raises rates more than the European Central Bank, higher interest returns will attract investor money from euros into dollar-denominated investments. Those investors will have to sell euros and buy dollars to buy those holdings. That drives the euro down and the dollar up.
The ECB has announced it will raise interest rates next week and add another increase in September. But if the economy sinks into recession, that could halt the ECB's series of rate increases. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy looks more robust, meaning the Fed could go on tightening — and widen the rate gap.
WHO WINS?
American tourists in Europe will find cheaper hotel and restaurant bills and admission tickets. The weaker euro could make European export goods more competitive on price in the United States. The U.S. and the EU are major trade partners, so the exchange rate shift will get noticed.
In the U.S., a stronger dollar means lower prices on imported goods — from cars and computers to toys and medical equipment — which could help moderate inflation.
“The parity makes it easy for us, and a lot more money goes a lot further now, so we can do a lot more on our trip,” said John Muldoon, who was visiting Rome this week from Delaware.
Olivia Navarret, another Rome tourist from Pennsylvania, said the exchange rate meant a shirt she bought was less expensive.
“It’s cheaper to come here and buy stuff," she said. “So it’s better to come here, I guess, and spend money here than spend money in the U.S.”
WHO LOSES?
American companies that do a lot of business in Europe will see the revenue from those businesses shrink when and if they bring those earnings back to the U.S. If euro earnings remain in Europe to cover costs there, the exchange rate becomes less of an issue.
A key worry for the U.S. is that a stronger dollar makes U.S.-made products more expensive in overseas markets, widening the trade deficit and reducing economic output, while giving foreign products a price edge in the United States.
A weaker euro can be a headache for the European Central Bank because it can mean higher prices for imported goods, particularly oil, which is priced in dollars. The ECB is already being pulled in different directions: It is set to raise interest rates, the typical medicine for inflation, but higher rates also can slow economic growth. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/business/article/EXPLAINER-What-s-the-impact-of-euro-parity-with-17302528.php | 2022-07-14T19:01:33Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/business/article/EXPLAINER-What-s-the-impact-of-euro-parity-with-17302528.php | true | 63 |
Lyon star Lucas Paqueta is the latest big-name midfielder to be linked with a summer transfer to Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta's side have been extremely active in the first month of the summer window, spending in excess of £80million on four first-team players, with Matt Turner, Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos and Gabriel Jesus all arriving at the Emirates Stadium over the last few weeks. However, that hasn't stopped the Gunners from being linked with additional reinforcements.
Brazilian international Paqueta, who enjoyed an excellent 2021/22 campaign with Lyon, has frequently been named as a potential target and football.london has now rounded up all the latest stories linking the talented playmaker with a move to north London below.

Mikel Arteta's verdict
Arsenal manager Arteta is pushing for a deal to bring Paqueta to the Emirates, according to French outlet Media Foot. The Spaniard is said to be a huge fan of the versatile midfielder, who provided 18 direct goal contributions across all competitions last term.
It is also claimed that the Gunners have a great relationship with Lyon, something that could make negotiating for the player a lot easier.
Negotiation boost
According to UOL, Paqueta's entourage have urged Lyon to accept a fair price for the player considering he accepted a pay cut when he arrived at the Groupama Stadium from AC Milan back in 2020. Arsenal will hope that this argument could help them land the talented playmaker for less than Les Gones' current asking price.
Player stance
French outlet L'Equipe have reported that Paqueta has asked to leave Lyon this summer. It is also claimed that the Ligue 1 outfit will let the talented playmaker leave should a suitable offer arrive.
Speaking about the player's future, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas told Goal France: "There are offers for him.
"There are some players who can feel fully fulfilled by the project, and others who can’t. Economically, we have the means to pursue our ideas and our objectives."
Asking price
According to The Chronicle, Paqueta could cost as much as £58million in this window. However, French outlet Media Foot claims that Lyon would accept just €50million (£42.9million) for the 24-year-old.
Arsenal 'pushing hard'
Arsenal are 'pushing' hard to beat Newcastle United to sign Lyon star Paqueta, according to French outlet Media Foot. The Tyneside-based club have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian international just six months after bringing his countryman and close friend Bruno Guimaraes to St. James' Park during the January transfer window.
The Magpies are said to have made a £34million offer for the Brazilian international but it is also claimed that the north Londoners are working hard to try and convince Paqueta to join them this summer.
Thierry Henry praise
Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has made it no secret of his admiration for the player in the past. Speaking about Paqueta to Amazon Prime Video, via Foot Radio, back in October of last year, the Frenchman said: "It’s early but frankly what he’s doing… we talked about it after his match at the Parc des Princes.
"Yes, I like dribbling and blind passes, but what I like is his desire, his activity, his selflessness, his commitment. In general, this is not the case with all Brazilians.
"A player who is fine is a little harder to replace or he is less at the service of the team when he does not have the ball. What impresses me with this player is that he does both with a smile.
"He defends and attacks with a smile. For me, that’s why we can already speak of one of the best players in the championship."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Medals and memorabilia that were once lost or abandoned were returned to the families of West Virginia veterans who served in World War II, Vietnam and Korea on Thursday.
The items belonging to 13 veterans had been turned over to the State Treasury Department's Unclaimed Property Division after they were found in safe deposit boxes.
State Treasurer Riley Moore said it's something that his department sees fairly often. But previously, when families became aware of the memorabilia, they had to go through a lengthy process to settle with banks and notarize paperwork to get it back.
A law passed earlier this year, however, allows the state to directly return items to their owners and settle fees with the bank for them.
“These items represent the bravery and sacrifice of our veterans, and I believe they should be handled with the dignity and respect they deserve,” Moore said during a ceremony at the West Virginia Culture Center and State Museum in Charleston, where the veterans were honored. All but one had passed away in a broad range of years between 1940 and 2011.
Before the memorabilia was presented, Adjutant General of the West Virginia National Guard Maj. Gen. William Crane said that in his office, he displays a Bible his grandfather carried with him when he was fighting in World War II.
“It means so much to me to have this,” he said, holding the Bible up to show the group. “At the end of the day, it’s paper, but there’s so much behind that paper, just the same as there’s so much behind these pieces of ribbon and pieces of metal.”
Crane said he hoped families receiving memorabilia that day will display the items in places of honor.
“They don’t need to be in a safety deposit box,” he said. “They're something for you to remember your family member by.” | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/State-returns-lost-medals-memorabilia-to-17305308.php | 2022-07-14T19:06:25Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/State-returns-lost-medals-memorabilia-to-17305308.php | false | 13 |
In Code Vein, the revenants will start to appear once you get done with Miasma. These revenants are going to require your help with various quests of theirs that they are incapable of completing. Each character will have a set of side quests that you are going to complete for them if you want 100% completion of Code Vein.
Below is a list that includes the characters and their side quests.
Code Vein Side Quests
The side quests offered by these characters are pretty straightforward and easy to complete, nevertheless, in case you might miss out on one we have compiled this list for you.
Daryl Side Quests
Request 1: Ruined City Center (Parking Garage)
This request can be completed by visiting locations such as Ruined City Center and Howling Pit locations which is the place where you will meet Daryl, sitting near a place with a large hole.
His request is to find his friends who are missing for quite some time. Since there are some enemies in the cave, therefore, he can’t enter. You just must search around for a dog tag, as he mentions that his friends are wearing one. You will find a tag that will be burned and just bring that to Daryl who will give you a reward.
Request 2: Howling Pit (Howling Pit Entrance)
You can complete this second request only if you have visited the locations of Ruined city center and howling pits alongside the first request. Just head to the Howling Pits where you will again find Daryl. He needs your help to find his friend one more time. You just need to move in the northern direction and up the ramp following it.
You will come across an executioner who will give you a dog tag upon defeat. Simply just bring the tag back to Daryl and the request will be completed. This time Daryl will reward you with a Loss Shard.
Request 3: Howling Pit (Howling Pit Entrance)
For this request, you need to fulfill the first two requests. Once you have done that, just move to the Provisional Government Outskirts area where you will meet Daryl for the third time. He will need your help to defeat an enemy this time who is blocking his way towards home.
You will simply teleport to Deception Mistle hills and then travel through the path of the arena. You will find an executioner on your way carrying an axe and will be blocking the way.

Self-Important Revenant Side Quest
Request 1: Ruined City Center (Parking Garage)
This revenant will only appear once the Ruined city’s boss is defeated. You need to teleport to the parking garage mistle area where you will find the Self-important revenant. His request will be to kill an enemy who is blocking the way of Lost.

Request 2: Ruined City Underground (Outer Crossroads)
Once you visit the outer roads, you will find Shang. Just be prepared to talk to him because as soon as you are finished talking, a trial of blood will start.
This will cause a lot of enemies to swamp the area. You need to kill every last one of them and try to avoid the waves of attacks that the enemy causes.
After doing so just visit Shang again who will reward you with Loss Shard and RV Mastery.
Request 3: Ruined City Underground (Outer Crossroads)

Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has applauded the decision Raheem Sterling to join Chelsea this summer from Manchester City.
The former Liverpool forward penned a five-year deal worth more than £ 300,000 a week as he returned to London to link up with Thomas Tuchel’s side.

Speaking on Vibe with Five, Ferdinand told Sterling that he made the right decision to join Man City from Liverpool a few years ago, hailing him for winning eleven trophies with Pep Guardiola’s side during his time at the Etihad.
“You know what, I thought I would just come on man because Raheem Sterling… just signed for Chelsea, just unveiled as a new player coming in,” Ferdinand said on Vibe with Five.
“You know what it does my head in when there’s a split opinion about him and I don’t understand it. The guys come from London, QPR went to Liverpool done really well as part of that forward line with Sturridge,…

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea has become one of the few nations in the world to recognize the independence of two Russian-backed separatist regions in eastern Ukraine in support of Russia’s war against its neighbor.
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry cut off diplomatic ties with North Korea in response and condemned Pyongyang’s decision as undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
North Korea has repeatedly blamed the United States for the crisis in Ukraine, claiming the West’s “hegemonic policy” justified Russia’s offensive in Ukraine to protect itself.
North Korea’s state media said Thursday that the country’s foreign minister, Choe Sun Hui, sent letters to leaders in the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk a day earlier to convey the North’s decision to recognize their independence and its willingness to develop diplomatic relations with both.
Donetsk separatist leader Denis Pushilin acknowledged North Korea’s decision Wednesday.
Luhansk and Donetsk together make up the Donbas region, a mostly Russian-speaking region of steel factories, mines and other industries in Ukraine’s east. Separatists have controlled parts of both provinces since 2014, but Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized their independence only shortly before the invasion began in February. Syria has since recognized their independence as well.
Ukrainian Foreign Minster Dmytro Kuleba said Russia’s appeal to North Korea for support shows Moscow has “no more allies in the world, except for countries that depend on it financially and politically.” Ukraine had already suspended its political and economic contacts with North Korea because of international sanctions imposed on the North over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program.
“The level of isolation of the Russian Federation will soon reach the level of isolation of the DPRK,” Kuleba said in a statement, using the initials of North Korea’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has effectively paralyzed the U.N. Security Council, where Russia is a veto-wielding permanent member, leaving an opening for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to push forward his weapons development as he tries to cement the North’s status as a nuclear power and negotiate a removal of crippling U.S.-led sanctions from a position of strength.
North Korea has test-fired more than 30 missiles in 2022 alone, including its first flight test of an intercontinental ballistic missile in nearly five years.

Vegetable gardeners are starting to see the fruits of their labor as the summer season continues. Anyone who grows tomatoes in their garden or even indoors knows this is the fruit’s peak time of year. If you or someone you know have so many tomatoes growing that you can’t keep up with the BLTs or salads, then we found a recipe to help use up that delicious produce: tomato gravy.
This tomato gravy is not like the sauce so many of us enjoy ladled over pasta. Southerners use a different variety of tomato gravy to add a fresh, savory flavor to biscuits, meatloaf, and other regional food staples. One blogger says it’s great over cheese grits or shrimp and grits, while another fan notes that it even tastes good with peach cobbler and bread pudding.
According to The Kitchn, this version of tomato gravy has its origins in the southern U.S. The simple recipe typically has five or fewer ingredients and its rich flavor is from a combination of fresh produce, fat, and dairy. By making bumper crops of tomatoes into a gravy, gardeners/farmers could make their crop last through the off-season through canning.
The tomato gravy recipe from The Kitchn sticks to the classic, simple version of this versatile dish and uses only a few ingredients. To make this recipe, you will need diced tomatoes (either fresh or canned, so don’t worry if you don’t grow tomatoes), bacon fat or unsalted butter, heavy cream and just a few other ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.
You can get the specific ingredient quantities and full recipe at The Kitchn.
The best part about this tomato gravy is that, unlike its Italian tomato/pasta sauce cousin, this recipe doesn’t need to sit on the stove and simmer all day. With only five minutes of prep work and about 15 minutes of cooking time, you can whip up this accompaniment to a meal in no time at all. And, if you have leftovers when you’re done, the gravy can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days and reheated.
We found another variation of this popular regional recipe on Twitter thanks to The Southern Lady Cooks.

While her recipe is similar as far as its quick preparation and convenience, there are some important changes. For example, you’ll use water instead of cream, remove the broth, and add other seasonings including garlic powder.
A Taste of Home contributor also offers a different take on the dish, which was a contest winner at the site. This version uses actual bacon instead of bacon fat, along with an onion and tomato juice for the liquid instead of milk or water. And over at The Spruce Eats, the recipe includes tomato paste along with actual tomatoes and garnishes the gravy with parsley. So there are plenty of variations to explore, based on what’s in your pantry or the flavors you prefer.
Check out these different versions and give them a try to see which version of the tomato gravy you enjoy more. What foods will you enjoy it with?

Man Charged In Rape Of 10-Year-Old Who Crossed State Lines For Abortion
By Bill Galluccio
July 14, 2022
A 27-year-old Ohio man has been charged with raping a ten-year-old girl. The alleged rape made international headlines after reports surfaced that the girl had to travel from Ohio to Indiana to have an abortion because the procedure became illegal in Ohio after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Prosecutors said that the young girl was raped in mid-May and identified Gerson Fuentes as the suspect. He reportedly confessed to raping the child on at least two occasions when he was brought in for a saliva test. Officials said the girl recently celebrated her tenth birthday and may have been nine years old when she was impregnated.
Fuentes was arraigned on felony rape charges and ordered held on a $2 million bond.
Officials are awaiting the results of the DNA test to confirm that Fuentes was the father.
While there were some questions about the accuracy of the initial story, Detective Jeffrey Huhn confirmed the details during Fuentes' arraignment and said that the girl did travel to Indianapolis on June 30 for a medical abortion.
The case, which was first reported by the Indianapolis Star, was referenced by President Joe Biden after he signed an executive order on abortion access.

Alfonso Ribeiro is headed back to the Dancing with the Stars ballroom — this time as Tyra Banks‘ co-host.
Good Morning America on Thursday exclusively revealed that the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum, whose character Carlton Banks is known for his iconic dance moves, will join the America’s Next Top Model legend when DWTS makes its debut on Disney+ for season 31 this fall.
Ribeiro won the coveted Mirrorball on DWTS‘ season 19 alongside professional dancer Witney Carson.
“Dancing with the Stars has been such an important part of my life for so many years, and I am ecstatic to officially re-join this tight-knit family as co-host,” he said in a press release, adding that he hopes his “longstanding friendship” with the supermodel will resonate with viewers.
“I’ve known Alfonso since I was 19 years old and he always puts a smile on my face whenever I see him. Having such a fun-loving, longtime friend as co-host warms my heart,” said Banks, who also returns this fall in her executive producer role. “Bantering back and forth with him live is going to be so much fun!”
Banks and the America’s Funniest Home Videos host crossed paths in 1993 when she had an arc on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as Jackie Ames, a childhood friend and former girlfriend of Will Smith‘s character.
Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough will be returning to the DWTS judges’ table for season 31 on the show’s new streaming home.

Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings.

(The HIll) – Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (R) says he will be looking into the licensure of the physician who provided abortion services to a 10-year-old Ohio rape victim who made national headlines after she travelled out-of-state to receive the procedure.
Caitlin Bernard, an Indiana obstetrician-gynecologist, publicly shared earlier this month in an interview published by the The Indianapolis Star that she would assisting the young girl, who was prohibited from getting an abortion under Ohio’s six-week ban.
The case has been the focus of intense scrutiny as it comes just weeks after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, eliminating the federal right to an abortion.
According to Bernard, she was contacted by a colleague who is a child abuse doctor in Ohio.
Rokita appeared on Fox News Wednesday and referred to Bernard as an “abortion activist acting as a doctor.” He said that she had a history of failing to report abortions and that an investigation into the physician and her license is underway.
“We’re gathering the evidence as we speak, and we’re going to fight this to the end, including looking at her licensure if she failed to report. And in Indiana it’s a crime … to intentionally not report,” Rokita said.
Bernard has yet to publicly respond to Rokta’s remarks.
On Wednesday, she had tweeted, “My heart breaks for all survivors of sexual assault and abuse. I am so sad that our country is failing them when they need us most. Doctors must be able to give people the medical care they need, when and where they need it.
The story of the 10-year-old rape victim quickly rose to national attention, with abortion activists denouncing that the child was denied an abortion in her own state after being raped, while anti-abortion figures initially expressed doubt that the story was even true.
It was later confirmed that the incident had occurred when a 27-year-old Columbus man, Gerson Fuentes, was arrested on Tuesday after confessing to raping the child on at least two occasions.
Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost was among those who publicly expressed doubt that the story was factual before the arrest, claiming that there had been no evidence filed to verify the account.
“I’m not saying it could not have happened. What I’m saying to you is there is not a damn scintilla of evidence. And shame on the Indianapolis paper that ran this thing on a single source who has an obvious axe to grind,” Yost told the USA Today network earlier this week.
Following the arrest, Yost issued a one-sentence response stating, “We rejoice anytime a child rapist is taken off the streets.” | https://www.kget.com/national-news/indiana-attorney-general-threatens-license-of-doctor-who-provided-abortion-to-10-year-old-rape-victim/ | 2022-07-14T19:19:33Z | https://www.kget.com/national-news/indiana-attorney-general-threatens-license-of-doctor-who-provided-abortion-to-10-year-old-rape-victim/ | true | 12 |

Sean 'Diddy' Combs takes the stage in London at Under the Bridge in red leather jacket and black ensemble
Sean 'Diddy' Combs was snapped taking the stage at the London venue Under the Bridge on Saturday.
Diddy, 52, wore a red leather jacket over a black shirt with black pants and black shoes for the performance. He accessorized with black sunglasses, a diamond necklace and watch for the performance at the venue in England.
The New York native, who has been on the promotional trail for his new single Gotta Move On, attended a party for his friend Naomi Campbell, 52, Thursday at The Twenty Two, as London's University for the Creative Arts awarded the supermodel an honorary doctorate degree for her career.
Among those at the event included Diddy's son Justin Dior Combs, 28, model Winnie Harlow, 27, and Yung Miami of the City Girls, 28, Footwear News reported.
The Grammy-award winning artist has had a busy summer professionally, as he was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 BET Awards last month.
The singer paid tribute to his late ex Kim Porter, who died at 47 in 2018 from lobar pneumonia, during a performance of his hit I'll Be Missing You, saying, 'Baby girl, this is for you ... I miss you so much, baby.'
When he was given the honors by colleagues Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds and Kanye West, Diddy thanked 'everyone who played a part in my life' as he looked back at persevering through tough times early on.
'When I was a kid, I saw these images that were setting me up for failure, these images that were making me feel less than a dog,' he said. 'I was like, "Man I'm not with that. I'm not with that." I closed my eyes and dreamed and saw what I had to do.'
He continued: 'We here for ourselves, we here for our ancestors, you feel me? God gave me this message to give to you, and you, and you and you and the time is right now … I got this dream of Black people being free … I got this dream of us taking accountability and stop killing each other.
'Being rich and wealthy and living on the same block. I have this dream of us unifying … our allies. If you're with us, don't be silent. I got that dream for us to be free, the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. We gotta unify.' | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662760108516/sean-diddy-combs-takes-the-stage-in-london-at-under-the-bridge-in-red-leather-jacket-and-black-ensemble | 2022-07-14T19:21:56Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662760108516/sean-diddy-combs-takes-the-stage-in-london-at-under-the-bridge-in-red-leather-jacket-and-black-ensemble | true | 3 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Over 30 years after a U.S.-led international military coalition expelled occupying Iraqi troops from Kuwait, planners have broken ground on the long-simmering plans for a Gulf War memorial.
Hundreds gathered Thursday morning for a ground-breaking ceremony at the corner of Constitution and 23rd streets, where the memorial will be located. Organizers have pushed to create the memorial for years, after the concept was approved by Congress in 2014.
“We’re here because we all agree that honoring these American warriors is a worthy cause,” said Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., who co-authored the legislation authorizing the memorial’s construction. He called the conflict “an important moment in our nation’s tradition of fighting tyranny.”
Scott Stump, CEO of the memorial association, recalled years of “toil, struggle pain, heartache, ups and downs,” with fundraising challenges and multiple design revisions.
“We were told that there weren't enough organizations that were interested in our message," Stump said. When completed, Stump said he expects the memorial to attract millions of visitors to a prime location near both the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Veterans' Memorial.
Known as the National Desert Storm and Desert Shield Memorial, the monument will feature a circular open-air design with features meant to evoke the sand dunes of the desert battleground.
Admiral Christopher Grady, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called it a fitting tribute to the 299 U.S. soldiers who died during the conflict.
“It was those in uniform and all those who supported them that we remember today," he said.
Grady also cited the Gulf War as a lasting example of international cooperation and partnership among nations to defend Kuwait's sovereignty.
“This is one of our competitive advantages — the friends that we have but others don't,” he said.
The plan has come together with the active involvement of the Kuwaiti government, which donated $10 million to the effort.
“From the people of Kuwait to the United States: thank you, thank you, thank you,” said long-serving Kuwaiti ambassador Salem Al-Sabah on Thursday. Al-Sabah called the memorial “a token of gratitude to the noble soldiers who helped liberate my country.” | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Planners-break-ground-for-new-Gulf-War-memorial-17305282.php | 2022-07-14T19:22:02Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Planners-break-ground-for-new-Gulf-War-memorial-17305282.php | true | 50 |
DUBLIN, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearwater Capital, LP ("Nearwater'), a specialty finance company established in 2017 and a leading provider of financing solutions to major financial institutions, announced today that its affiliate, Nearwater Capital Markets, Limited's ("Nearwater Capital Markets") application for registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a security based swap dealer has been accepted and conditionally approved. This approval makes Nearwater Capital Markets the only standalone security based swap dealer with the SEC as its primary and sole regulator.
Nearwater believes that registering with the SEC is necessary to comply with the requirements of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act and is also consistent with the regulatory direction of the SEC requiring greater transparency into, and oversight of, the security based swaps market. Futher, registering with the SEC as a security based swap dealer allows Nearwater Capital Markets to operate confidently from a regulatory perspective and that being registered and regulated makes it the preeminent swap trading partner for its counterparties. Nearwater Capital Markets registration will also eliminate any reputational risk for its counterparties that may otherwise arise from dealing with unregistered market participants.
Nearwater Capital Markets will have a narrowly focused business model, transacting only with other registered swap dealers to help them better support their client-facing activities. Demonstrating its commitment to be the preeminent swap trading partner, Nearwater Capital Markets has assembled a premier Board of Directors comprised of seasoned regulatory and business professionals who will provide oversight and expertise to this business.
"Nearwater sees this as a tremendous opportunity to bring an alternative regulated trading counterparty to assist major banks in fulfilling their clients' objectives" said James Peterson, Managing Partner of Nearwater and Senior Officer of Nearwater Capital Markets. "Our registration not only accrues value for Nearwater Capital Markets in terms of greater certainty of regulatory compliance, but also accrues benefits for our trading counterparties in terms of the confidence that comes from transacting with a regulated, capitalized counterparty. As a registered security based swap dealer we have built a robust compliance, risk management, and financial reporting infrastructure, which is overseen by, and known to, the SEC."
The rules requiring registration of dealers in security based swaps is a key component of the security-based swap regulatory regime established by the Dodd-Frank Act and has been phasing in since it was enacted in 2010. The most significant and foundational of the rules to go into effect is the requirement for any person or firm acting in a dealing capacity where such activities exceed certain thresholds to register with the SEC as a security based swap dealer by November 1st, 2021. To date, 47 firms have registered with the SEC, most of whom are global banks and their dealer affiliates.
Security based swaps were at the center of the Archegos Capital Management collapse in April 2021, which resulted in losses of more than $10 billion for banks and their dealers and spurred the SEC to hasten its pace of regulation of this once opaque, unregulated segment of the market with proposals for increased public post-trade reporting and security-based swap specific anti-fraud provisions.
"We are pleased to have had our application to be a security based swap dealer conditionally approved by the SEC. This comes after nearly three years of infrastructure build and represents a significant commitment of capital and investment in people and technology, but it's well worth it," stated Mr. Peterson.

Key Highlights
- Paradigm as an NFL Alumni Health corporate member has entered into a research partnership to inform NFL Alumni members about osteoarthritis (OA) and potential clinical trial participation.
- NFL Alumni Health is a wholly owned subsidiary of NFL Alumni offering informational resources, programs, services, and other benefits to both NFL Alumni members (former NFL players, coaches, executives, spouses, cheerleaders, and associate members) and the general public.
- Paradigm was introduced to NFL Alumni Health by expanded access program (EAP) participants, who have become strong advocates of Zilosul® for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) treatment based on their positive experiences.
- Paradigm's designation by NFL Alumni Health as a research partner demonstrates Paradigm's leading role in developing a multi-modal non-addictive treatment for the pain and dysfunction associated with KOA.
- Paradigm previously treated 10 former NFL players suffering from KOA via an FDA-cleared EAP with pentosan polysulfate sodium (Zilosul®). At the 12-week time point (6 weeks following final injection), participants experienced an average 65% reduction in pain as assessed with the WOMAC® index.
NEW YORK, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: PAR) (Paradigm or the Company) a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focussed on repurposing existing molecules for new indications with unmet clinical needs, is pleased to announce it has entered into a corporate partnership with NFL Alumni Health (NFLAH). This partnership will inform NFL Alumni Association (NFLAA) members about osteoarthritis disease onset and progression, current treatment options, and provide information about actively enrolling clinical trials throughout the U.S.
The NFLAA has over 10,000 members and represents former NFL players, coaches, executives, spouses, cheerleaders, and associate members through its 40 chapters across the U.S. NFL Alumni Health is a wholly owned subsidiary of NFLAA offering informational resources, programs, services, and other benefits to NFLAA members and the general public. This division of the NFLAA appraises corporate partners that may provide beneficial research opportunities in health areas relevant to their members. NFL Alumni Health oversee the vetting process to ensure they bring credible and meaningful health sector-related partnerships to their membership. Paradigm's designation as NFLAH's newest corporate and research partner demonstrates its leading role in developing a safe and effective potential treatment for those suffering with OA.
Kyle Richardson, NFL Alumni Association Co-Director of Healthcare Initiatives, commented on the partnership: "The NFL Alumni Health division of the NFL Alumni Association are driven to provide initiatives that help its members learn more about and gain access to safe and effective treatments through clinical trials and other FDA-approved treatment options. In males under the age of 60, arthritis is over three times more prevalent in retired NFL players than in the general U.S. population. We are pleased to hear the positive experience several of our alumni members have had through working with Paradigm and we hope this partnership will inform a larger number of alumni on the disease of osteoarthritis and the available clinical trials that are currently enrolling participants."
Paradigm previously submitted an IND application for an expanded access program protocol to treat 10 patients for osteoarthritis-associated knee pain with Zilosul®. The US FDA provided clearance for this program to proceed in September 2019. On 30th July 2020, Paradigm released the results of this EAP demonstrating that at week 12, the 10 participants treated with Zilosul® achieved an average WOMAC® pain reduction of 65%. Zilosul® was well tolerated in this program.
Paradigm remained in close contact with the EAP physician and participants, leading to an introduction to NFL Alumni Health. The NFL endorsed this partnership following a review of Paradigm's clinical program results as well as the ongoing global registration clinical trial. Paradigm's introduction from such an enthusiastic group within their own membership made Paradigm an ideal partnering candidate to present to their constituency.
Paradigm CEO, Marco Polizzi commented, "Having followed the progress of the expanded access program participants and hearing first-hand the positive impact Zilosul® has had on their lives. Paradigm is honoured to be able to continue to work with NFL Alumni members to inform them of the onset and progression of osteoarthritis and Paradigm's clinical progress through phase 3 as we strive to bring Zilosul® to commercialisation for the millions suffering from the debilitating effects of OA."

Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent form of joint disease, affecting up to 16% of the population in the developed world, with more than 72 million people in the US, EU5, Canada, and Australia suffering from it1. OA has a significant impact on day-to-day functioning. Although the levels of pain and disability may fluctuate, it has no known cure or spontaneous remission and is associated with irreversible structural damage and progression over time.

The First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Lieutenant-General (Retd) Sheikh Ahmed Al-Nawaf, has issued a decision to form a higher committee to organize and secure the sea beaches.
The decision stipulates that the committee’s representation shall not be less than an assistant undersecretary headed by the Directorate-General of Fire Department with members from 7 government entities — the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Kuwait Municipality, the Environment Public Authority, the Fatwa and Legislation Department, and the Tourism Projects Company.
The decision clarified that the goal of forming this committee is to preserve public health and to avoid many cases of drowning and accidents that result in death or loss, which requires finding solutions to organize beaches and earmarking specific times for swimming while setting security and safety requirements for beachgoers. | https://timeskuwait.com/news/committee-formed-to-organize-and-secure-beaches/ | 2022-07-14T19:24:24Z | https://timeskuwait.com/news/committee-formed-to-organize-and-secure-beaches/ | true | null |
Texas murder suspect Kaitlin Armstrong had access to $450G, practiced shooting with sister, warrants reveal
AUSTIN, Texas - Texas love triangle murder suspect Kaitlin Armstrong had access to more than $450,000 and allegedly went to a range to "learn how to use a firearm" with her sister before the shooting death of Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson, court documents allege.
Search warrants obtained by Fox News Digital reveal a new look at how Austin police quickly zeroed in on Armstrong as a suspect before she allegedly led investigators on an international manhunt ending in a Costa Rica beach town. They also reveal new gruesome details about the slaying.
Documents revealed Armstrong’s boyfriend, 35-year-old pro cyclist Colin Strickland, initially denied knowing the victim, a 25-year-old fellow riding pro, to detectives when they first interviewed him after the murder.
On the evening of May 11, police found Wilson dead on a bathroom floor with at least three bullet wounds, two to the head and a third to her chest that allegedly occurred "after she was already laying supine on the floor." She had an exit wound on her back, and police found a bullet and chipped tile beneath her.
Wilson had lacerations on her right finger and under her chin, according to the warrant. Police found shell casings labeled "9mm JAG" in the room.
Strickland had also given Armstrong $450,000 as investment capital. According to the warrants, he asked for it back, but she did not return it before fleeing the state on May 14. She allegedly flew to New York, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
There, she met with her sister at a campground, according to a man staying there who answered questions when Fox News Digital visited last month.
He said he saw her "right before the whole thing blew up" and that law enforcement arrived soon after she had left.
A woman who answered the phone Tuesday at the camp where Christie Armstrong was living – and is listed online as the camp's communications team member – hung up when a reporter identified himself.

On May 18, Armstrong flew from New Jersey to Costa Rica, according to the Marshals.
Before she fled, the warrants note that police found passports – plural – in her purse on May 12, the day they seized two of her cellphones.
Authorities said she used someone else’s passport to board the international flight, and Inside Edition reported last week that the owner of a beachfront hostel where she had been staying found two passports in her lock box – hers and her sister’s.
"Strickland further advised Armstrong has visited an unknown gun range with her sister to learn how to use a firearm," the warrants state.
Strickland and Wilson had a romantic history and allegedly went out swimming at the Deep Eddy Pool -- and to dinner at Pool Burger across the street -- behind Armstrong’s back the night of the murder. The victim, who lived in California, was visiting Austin ahead of a competition.
Armstrong, who an anonymous tipster described as enraged and jealous after learning about Wilson and Strickland’s past encounters, was also linked to the crime scene by surveillance video that recorded her Jeep in the area. The warrants state that a neighbor’s camera recorded it pulling up to the home where Wilson was staying while visiting Austin, about a minute after Strickland dropped her off and rode away on his motorcycle.
Strickland purchased two handguns at the same Austin gun store, according to the warrants, including one later linked to shell casings recovered at the crime scene.
Police obtained search warrants for Strickland’s DNA, his phone, two phones belonging to Armstrong, her MacBook Pro and a house she owned in Austin that is different from where she lived with Strickland.
One of the warrants states that Strickland texted Armstrong right after dropping off Wilson at 8:36 p.m., a minute before police say her Jeep showed up on surveillance video outside the crime scene. It also alleges that Armstrong arrived home shortly after 9:21 p.m.
The warrants state that Strickland’s version of events was corroborated by surveillance video. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
When police captured Armstrong in Costa Rica, she had changed her appearance. She'd cut her long, auburn hair, voted "best hair" in her high school class of 2005, down to shoulder-length and dyed it brown. Images also appear to show a change in her facial features, although authorities have declined to confirm reports that she may have undergone plastic surgery.

Congress leaders, in a meeting on Wednesday, decided to protest across the country against the BJP-led Central Government on July 21, the day Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi is scheduled to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in National Herald case.
Another significant meeting has been called by the party today (on Thursday), where all the general secretaries, state in-charges and PCC chiefs will discuss ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ and other organisational programs.
In the meeting, top leaders will discuss the protest march and other public outreach programmes.
With the Monsoon Session of Parliament starting from July 18, the Congress MPs will also take the opportunity to protest inside the Parliament premises.
Talking to ANI after the meeting, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said, “Congress President Sonia Gandhi is a tigress. She is not afraid of these things. She has seen so many things like this. She will go to the ED office and face this Government.”
The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Congress Interim President Sonia Gandhi for questioning in connection with the National Herald case in which senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, Pawan Bansal has already been questioned.
Besides them, ED questioned former Congress President and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi last month in June in the case for more than five days and during that time also Congress Party leaders and workers protested against ED and BJP-led Centre for indulging in ‘vendetta politics.’
The party workers and leaders also protested the “brutal” action by Delhi police officials who manhandled many party activists and allegedly entered the Congress headquarters in Delhi forcefully.
According to sources, the party has also prepared pamphlets to be distributed among the public on the National Herald case.
Today’s meeting was attended by the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress General Secretary Organisation KC Venugopal, AICC Treasurer Pawan Bansal, AICC General Secretary Mukul Wasnik, Ajay Maken, Randeep Surjewala, Bhawar Jitendra Singh and Rajya Sabha MP and AICC in-charge of Delhi Shaktisinh Gohil.
Official sources said that Sonia Gandhi has been asked to appear before the investigators at its headquarters here around 11 am on July 21.
Fresh summons were issued to Sonia Gandhi as she could not appear before its investigators on June 8 in the case for the first time in connection with a money laundering case involving the National Herald as she was infected with COVID-19 and was hospitalised.
The ED wants to record both Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi’s statements under criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The ED last month questioned Rahul Gandhi on several occasions in the case.

Police: Same man may be responsible for three sex offenses in five days
The Westminster Police Department alerted residents Saturday in a roughly half-mile square area to take safety precautions following what the department called attempted sexual assaults.
All three incidents occurred between 120th Avenue, 124th Avenue, Huron Street and Interstate 25.
At 10 p.m. on July 4, a woman was touched from behind near 123rd Avenue and Bannock Street.
At 8:30 p.m. on July 8, a woman was attacked from behind in the 300 block of 123rd Avenue. She was not injured, a WPD spokesman told CBS4.
Later that same night, around 12:30 a.m., a man was seen masturbating on an apartment balcony in the 700 block of 123rd Avenue. Police confirmed the man did not live in that apartment.
A similar suspect description was provided by victims and witnesses in all three incidents -- a Hispanic male, possibly in his mid-20's, 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-7 in height with a medium build. He was generally described as cleancut, having a 2-inch faded haircut but also wearing a bandana.
The police department asked pedestrians in the area to be aware of their surroundings, not to travel in the area alone, and to call the department's dispatch upon seeing suspicious activity or anyone matching the suspect's description. Westminster PD dispatch can reached by dialing (303) 658-4360 and pressing '1'. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662767829923/police-same-man-may-be-responsible-for-three-sex-offenses-in-five-days | 2022-07-14T19:33:16Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2662767829923/police-same-man-may-be-responsible-for-three-sex-offenses-in-five-days | false | 3 |

The Biden administration is warning pharmacies not to discriminate against women who may seek reproductive health prescriptions, including some that might be involved in ending a pregnancy.
The Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday that pharmacies receiving federal money from programs such as Medicare and Medicaid cannot discriminate in how they supply medications or advise patients on prescriptions.
The agency noted that discrimination against people based on their pregnancy or related conditions would be a form of sex discrimination.
The announcement comes as the administration seeks to ensure reproductive health services for women following last month’s Supreme Court decision that ended a constitutional right to abortion.
On Monday, the administration told hospitals that they “must” provide abortion services if the life of the mother is at risk. The government said federal law on emergency treatment guidelines preempts state laws in jurisdictions that now ban the procedure without any exceptions. Now, all states provide an exception for the life of the mother.
President Joe Biden also has signed an executive order to try to protect some access to the procedure, but he also has acknowledged that his administration is limited in what it can do. He noted earlier this month that an act of Congress would be required to restore nationwide access to abortion services, and he has urged Americans angered by the Supreme Court’s ruling to vote in November.
Wednesday’s actions, like those outlined Monday, do not reflect new policy. They aim to remind care providers of their existing obligations under federal law.
“We are committed to ensuring that everyone can access health care, free of discrimination,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement. “This includes access to prescription medications for reproductive health and other types of care.”
The department’s guidance to pharmacies outlined several hypothetical examples of potential discrimination. They include a pharmacy that refuses to fill a prescription of mifepristone followed by misoprostol to help manage complications from a miscarriage after a pregnancy loss.
That combination of drugs also is commonly used in medication abortions.
A pharmacy that refuses to fill a prescription of misoprostol prescribed to help deal with severe stomach ulcer complications may be discriminating based on disability, HHS said. The agency noted that the pharmacy also may be discriminating if it refuses to stock the drug based on its alternate use.
HHS also cited as another example of potential discrimination: a pharmacy that refuses to fill a prescription for methotrexate to halt an ectopic pregnancy, which grows outside the womb and is not viable.
The federal agency said people who believe their rights have been violated should visit an online portal for the Office for Civil Rights to file a complaint. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/business/pharmacies-cant-discriminate-on-reproductive-health-scripts/ | 2022-07-14T19:39:40Z | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/business/pharmacies-cant-discriminate-on-reproductive-health-scripts/ | true | 59 |
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor called Thursday for an “overarching strategy” to bring perpetrators of war crimes in Ukraine to justice, and representatives from dozens of countries pledged to cooperate in their investigations.
Since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, his military forces have been accused of abuses ranging from killings in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha to deadly attacks on civilian facilities, including the March 16 bombing of a theater in Mariupol that an Associated Press investigation established likely killed close to 600 people.
“The simple truth is that, as we speak, children, women and men, the young and the old, are living in terror,” ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said as he opened the Ukraine Accountability Conference in The Hague.
Khan said Thursday’s ministerial meeting addressed “a need of coordination, of coherence” and “the need of an overarching strategy” as different nations and courts work to investigate and prosecute crimes.
The AP and Frontline, which are tracking incidents in Ukraine, have so far tallied 338 potential war crimes.
As the meeting got underway in The Hague, Russian missiles struck the central Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia in what Ukraine’s president called “an open act of terrorism” on the country’s civilian population.
Speaking to reporters after the conference, Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Iryna Venediktova, held up a photograph that appeared to show a child’s body as she discussed Thursday’s airstrike.
“Today, 20 people killed by Russian missiles ,including three children, 52 injured by Russian missiles, including children. And this information we have every day from morning to night, night to morning,” she said.
U.S. State Department human rights envoy Uzra Zeya accused Russian forces of atrocities as she delivered a message to the conference from Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
“With each day, the war crimes mount. Rape, torture, extrajudicial executions, disappearances, forced deportations. Attacks on schools, hospitals, playgrounds, apartment buildings, grain silos, water and gas facilities,” Zeya said. “These are not the acts of rogue units — they fit a clear pattern across every part of Ukraine touched by Russia’s forces.”
About 40 nations from the European Union and around the world sent representatives to The Hague for the conference hosted by Khan, Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs Wopke Hoekstra and the European Union’s justice commissioner, Didier Reynders.
Investigations of military crimes committed during the nearly 5-month war in Ukraine are underway around Europe; more than 23,000 war crimes cases have been registered in Ukraine alone, Venediktova said. The ICC and 14 EU member nations also have launched investigations.
“Words are cheap. Too much has been promised for too long. And I think today, from many vantage points, represents a realization that we, as lawyers and investigators, need to take the law off the page and put it into action,” ICC prosecutor Khan said as the meeting wrapped up.
Delegates agreed to set up a dialogue group to link and streamline the various investigations.
“We need to translate our shared and strong conviction for justice into a unified answer against impunity and use the results of this conference as a blueprint to respond to cruelties and crimes committed in Ukraine and in the rest of the world,” Hoekstra said.
In a video message to the meeting, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called for the creation of an international tribunal to prosecute Russian leaders for the crime of aggression — when one state launches an unjustified attack on another.
The ICC doesn’t have jurisdiction to prosecute the crime of aggression in Ukraine because neither Russia nor Ukraine is among the court’s 123 member states.
Kyiv has, however, accepted the court’s jurisdiction and that cleared the way for Khan to open an investigation in Ukraine in early March after dozens of the global court’s member nations asked him to intervene. He has visited Ukraine to see firsthand the horrors inflicted on the country and sent the court’s largest-ever team of investigators to gather evidence.
So far, the court hasn’t announced any arrest warrants for suspects in the probe that could reach to the very top of Russia’s military chain of command, as well as to the Kremlin.
The ICC is a court of last resort that opens cases when other countries are unwilling or unable to launch prosecutions. The Hague-based court has no police force to make arrests and relies on assistance from other countries to detain suspects.
The EU’s judicial cooperation agency, Eurojust, helped establish a Joint Investigation Team made up of Ukraine and five other European nations. The team is meant to help facilitate evidence sharing.

Roughly 1 million counterfeit pills containing fentanyl were seized earlier this month in Inglewood, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration announced Thursday, July 14.
“This record-breaking bust is the largest seizure of fentanyl pills (the) DEA has made in California,” the DEA said in a statement.
According to the DEA, the probe targeted a Los Angeles-area drug trafficking organization believed to be linked to the Sinaloa Cartel.
“During the investigation, DEA agents identified Southern California narcotic couriers and stash house managers who were responsible for distributing narcotics to other drug distributors in the area,” the DEA reported.
A federal search warrant was executed on July 5 at an Inglewood residence, and resulted in the seizure of about 1 million counterfeit pills containing fentanyl, the DEA said.
The fake pills were intended for retail distribution, and have an estimated street sale value of $15 million to $20 million, according to the DEA.
“This massive seizure disrupted the flow of dangerous amounts of fentanyl into our streets and probably saved many lives,” said DEA Special Agent in Charge Bill Bodner.
“The deceptive marketing coupled with the ease of accessibility makes these small and seemingly innocuous pills a significant threat to the health and safety of all our communities,” Bodner said. “A staggering number of teens and young adults are unaware that they are ingesting fentanyl in these fake pills and are being poisoned.”
The greater Los Angeles area is a major trans-shipment hub where illegal drugs coming from the southwest border are stored in local warehouses, storage units and residential properties, the DEA reported.
The bulk shipments of drugs are usually broken down into smaller quantities and transported to other states or distributed to local dealers. The greater Los Angeles area has many international airports, freeways and bus and train lines that make it easy for shipments to be smuggled to other destinations.
The investigation, which began in May, involved the DEA Los Angeles Field Division Group 48, the DEA New York Division Tactical Diversion Squad and the Hawthorne Police Department.

Brush Fires in Wenatchee and East Wenatchee
Chelan and Douglas County firefighters responded to two fires on the morning of June 13, during the most volatile wildfire conditions.
At 6:30 a.m., the first fire was a 10-by-10 foot brush fire, burning near the George Sellar Bridge off the SR-28 ramp in East Wenatchee and moving towards the neighboring Fred Meyer.
Public Information Officer Kay Mckellar with Chelan County Fire District 1 said there was no indication as to how the fire started.
Almost a half hour later, there was a 20-by-20 foot brush fire at 421 S Mission St. in Wenatchee, near the Praise Center Church.
The fire was confirmed to be started by an unknown suspect. Witnesses near the fire are currently speaking with law enforcement.

The ever-increasing number of ransomware attacks has created a quandary for those in the cyberinsurance industry. With premiums skyrocketing, coverage being limited and insurers struggling to earn revenue because of the cost and growing number of claims, something has to give. Due to these factors, organizations are searching for new methods of risk assessment to better evaluate the market for cyberinsurance, per Panaseer’s “2022 Cyber Insurance Market Trends Report”.
Four hundred global insurers were surveyed as part of the report, in order to discover what issues the market is facing and potential solutions to achieve a healthy cyberinsurance market.
“Cybersecurity insurance is an effective way for organizations to transfer their cyber risk and to try and mitigate the impact of threats and vulnerabilities,” said James Graham, VP of marketing at cybersecurity firm RiskLens. “The core exercise in assessing cyber risk for insurance purposes, then, continues to be quantifying the probability and financial impact of cyber threats.”
SEE: Mobile device security policy (TechRepublic Premium)
Issues with the current cyberinsurance model
With many sources citing a year-over-year rise in ransomware attacks, there lies several problems with the ways cyberinsurance works. Organizations in the insurance business are struggling to correctly assess the risks surrounding their clients and usually have restricted access to their customer’s data.
Some of the reasons premiums have grown over the years specifically were:
- Increasing sophistication of cyber threat actors
- Increasing cost of ransomware attacks (e.g. higher ransoms)
- Inability to accurately understand a customer’s security posture
Because of these factors, the price of coverage continues to soar. According to the survey, 82% expect cyberinsurance premiums to continue rising over the next two years. In 2020 alone, 66.9% of the top 20 insurers saw loss ratios, with the rate of attacks only growing as one of the side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The areas submitting the most cyber claims were in the fields of manufacturing, financial services and healthcare, signaling a need for change quickly in order to support these three critical infrastructure components.
The good news, despite the monetary losses suffered by the top cyberinsurance providers, is that those in the industry believe that the existing risk models are sound. Nearly every respondent in the survey (91%) said they have faith in their underwriting process, but changes are still necessary to make sense from a financial perspective.
Solutions for cyberinsurance problems
One potential fix for the industry as a whole proposed in the report was transforming the way security posture is measured during the underwriting process. According to Panaseer’s findings, 87% believe it’s important for the industry to develop a consistent approach to analyzing a customer’s cyber risk using accurate security metrics and measures.
Another potential answer is granting insurers greater access to their client’s information. A majority (89%) of companies surveyed said they believe it would be valuable to have direct access to customer metrics and measures proving the status of their security controls.
Graham suggests that companies should more widely adopt RiskLens’ Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) model, in order to provide greater clarity into the costs associated with cyberinsurance. Through this model, organizations would view enterprise cyber risk in totality and challenge and defend cyber risk decisions using an advanced risk model.
“The FAIR cyber risk quantification model was designed to provide visibility into the costs of cyber risk, information which should be at the heart of any insurance assessment or purchase,” Graham said. “In fact, organizations across the globe are already using FAIR to assess their cyber risk in practical terms, and making security decisions – including insurance coverage – based on the business terms delivered through FAIR assessments.” | https://www.techrepublic.com/article/cyberinsurers-looking-for-new-risk-assessment-models/ | 2022-07-14T19:45:21Z | https://www.techrepublic.com/article/cyberinsurers-looking-for-new-risk-assessment-models/ | false | 1 |

Frontiers also believes that reviewers should be acknowledged for their work in conducting peer review. We believe in transparency and ensuring no bias during the peer review process. This is why we disclose the name of all endorsing reviewers upon publication, for every article we publish.
What to expect from our collaborative peer review
Our peer review platform is collaborative: it unites authors, reviewers, and the handling editor in a direct online dialog, enabling quick iterations and facilitating consensus. Editors and reviewers work with the authors to improve their manuscript.
Independent review phase
Once a reviewer accepts the invitation to review, they are sent an email with a link to the online review forum. In the review forum, they can access and review the manuscript and supporting documents. During this first review phase the reviewers assess the paper independently from each other and the authors.
The review is completed by answering a review questionnaire provided in the review forum, and tailored for each article type (original research, review, study protocol, clinical trial, etc). When submitting their review report, a reviewer will also submit their recommendation to the editor. At this stage they are able to directly endorse the manuscript and finalize their review process, should the manuscript meet our acceptance criteria.
Once all reviewers have submitted their review report, the handling editor is responsible for activating the next phase of the process: the Interactive Review. Even if the review reports are unfavorable to the authors, the collaborative review forum is activated to allow authors the opportunity of a rebuttal.
Interactive review phase
Once the interactive review phase is activated, authors are notified and are able to view and respond to reviewers' comments within the review forum. Reviewers are notified when the author has replied in full, and/or resubmitted their manuscript in line with reviewer comments.
If needed, reviewers can enter a dialog with the author to request clarifications or further revisions. They can also access and comment on other reviewers' review reports.
If the reviewer feels the authors have made the required changes and the paper is suitable for publication, they may endorse it. Alternatively, if it is felt that the authors have not or cannot bring the paper up to standard, reviewers can recommend that it be rejected.
How to peer review
Reviewers are the crucial facilitator between the author and the handling editor. From a position of expertise, reviewers guide and enable fellow researchers to get their work out into the world, in the best condition it can be.
To support our reviewers, we have put together some tips and lists of things to consider when getting ready to review, and in writing a fair and constructive review.
Before accepting the invitation
When you receive an invitation to review, it is important to consider the following points before accepting.
Is the manuscript within my expertise? Think about whether the manuscript is suitably within your area of expertise. If not, please decline the invite, and consider helping us by suggesting alternative relevant experts.
Do I have the time? We strive to keep our peer review process efficient and as such reviewers are requested to complete their reports within 7 days after they accept the invite. You should let the editorial office know if you aren't able to provide a review but may be able to participate at another time.
Do I have a conflict of interest? Once the invitation is accepted, as a reviewer you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire regarding conflicts of interest to establish any relationship with the author(s) of the manuscript which may make it inappropriate for you to review. Conflicts of interest are assessed on a case by case basis and may not be disqualifying, so please disclose all answers in full. Further details on this are available here.
Respond to the invitation We ask reviewers to respond to the review invitation as soon as they can. You are of course free to decline to review if you feel that you lack the time or expertise, and we always appreciate recommendations for alternative reviewers.
If a reviewer realizes that 7 days will be insufficient to complete their review, or if there will be a delay to the deadline after the invitation has been accepted, they can contact the editorial office. We will be happy to assist.
During peer review
Before a manuscript is sent for peer review, our research integrity team and the handling editor will already have carried out initial quality checks.
The aims of our reviewers should always be to:
focus on the quality of the science objectively
collaborate towards improvement and think constructively
help the author and editor understand what is needed with clear comments.
Below are our tips for ensuring a quality report is produced.
What to do
Respect the scope Authors provide a 'contribution to the field' statement with their manuscript to explain the article's intended scope and relevance. Keep the focus on what the manuscript is aiming to do, even if your expertise extends in a related direction. You should avoid recommending authors vastly expand the scope of the manuscript (e.g. “you only dealt with x, you need to deal with y”), or taking them outside their manuscript's intended scope.
Focus on science Be objective – Frontiers discloses author names to reviewers for full transparency, however, reviewers are not asked to assess the author, only the manuscript. Also, it is not necessary to flag small copy-editing errors: our production team will ensure those are fixed during typesetting. Our processes ensure you should focus solely on the research itself.
Provide constructive feedback Comments should seek to recommend reasonable improvements, in a polite and impersonal tone. Show professional courtesy by thinking about what you would want to receive on a paper of your own. And if it is good, say so – and also say why!
Consider field specifics Are there elements of the research specific to the field you work in? If so, apply your expertise to give feedback on these. It will be helpful to all involved in the manuscript's review process.
What not to do
Don't be vague or too brief Authors find precise and detailed feedback extremely helpful, and this tends to result in a timely and smoother review process. Whereas a brief report will often lead to additional questions from authors. Make sure recommendations and decisions are explained clearly. You should make good use of the detailed questionnaire provided in the collaborative review platform to provide a clear assessment.
Don't leave out key points in your initial report The initial report should be thorough and provide all the necessary feedback upfront. While it is possible that further revisions to the paper will bring up new questions, be sure to include your key points in your initial report. Ensure you conclude your report with a clear recommendation for the handling editor. You are the expert and your guidance is highly valued.
Don't drop out of the peer review To ensure an efficient process for all involved, please try to submit your responses on time. If you need to request an extension or to withdraw from the review process you can do this directly in the review forum at any time, or contact the editorial office for support. Try to place yourself in the authors' shoes, as they anxiously await feedback on their submission.
Keep in touch
Encountering any issues during review or have any concerns with the manuscript? Need assistance using our review platform? Need to request an extension to submit your review? For these or any other inquiries or updates, do not hesitate to contact your journal's office.
After peer review: recognizing reviewers
Reviewers who endorse a manuscript for publication are recognized for their work by being named on the published article. The names are listed alongside the editor's both on the published article page, and the article final files.
But it is important to remember that if a reviewer recommends the rejection of a manuscript, or withdraws from the review process, their name will not be made available to the authors and is not published alongside the manuscript.
Irrespective of the reviewer's recommendation, when a report is submitted the reviewer will receive a confirmation email to acknowledge their work, including a copy of their report. While the report itself is not to be shared in any public forum, reviewers may use the confirmation email to obtain recognition for their involvement in the peer review process with their institution or other platforms. Their reports will also not be lost should they recommend rejection or withdraw from the review process later on. | https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/mechanical-engineering/sections/digital-manufacturing/for-authors/editor-guidelines | 2022-07-14T19:47:32Z | https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/mechanical-engineering/sections/digital-manufacturing/for-authors/editor-guidelines | true | 224 |
New questions on a census form would have to be vetted by Congress and a U.S. Census Bureau director couldn’t be fired without cause under proposed legislation that attempts to prevent in the future the type of political interference into the nation’s 2020 head count that took place during the Trump administration.
The legislation introduced this week in the U.S. House of Representatives would put in place roadblocks against attempted political meddling in the once-a-decade census that determines how many congressional seats each state gets and the distribution of $1.5 trillion in federal spending each year, according to U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., the bill’s sponsor.
““The census is a foundation of American democracy, and it must be protected from partisan interference,” said Maloney, the chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which was holding a hearing on the bill Thursday.
In the years leading up to the 2020 census, the Trump administration unsuccessfully tried to add a citizenship question to the census questionnaire, a move that advocates feared would scare off Hispanics and immigrants from participating, whether they were in the country legally or not. The Supreme Court blocked the question.
The Trump administration also unsuccessfully tried to get the Census Bureau to exclude people in the country illegally from population figures used for divvying up congressional seats among the states, also called the apportionment numbers.
Critics claimed the citizenship question was inspired by a Republican redistricting expert who believed using citizen voting-age population instead of the total population for the purpose of redrawing of congressional and legislative districts could be advantageous to Republicans and non-Hispanic whites.
The Trump administration pushed to have the apportionment numbers released before President Donald Trump left the White House in January 2021, cutting short the schedule for field operations that had been extended because of the pandemic. The bill would vest the Census Bureau director with all technical, operational and statistical decisions for the once-a-decade census.
The Trump administration named an unusually high number of political appointees without prior experience in the statistical agency to top positions in the Census Bureau. The proposed legislation would limit the number of political appointees to three: the Census Bureau director and two others positions. All other positions would have to be filled by career civil service workers, including the position of a deputy director, who would be required to have knowledge or experience with the Census Bureau.
Even though many of the Trump administration’s political efforts ultimately failed, some advocates believe they did have an impact, with significantly larger undercounts of most racial and ethnic minorities in the 2020 census compared to the 2010 census.
The Black population in the 2020 census had a net undercount of 3.3%, while it was almost 5% for Hispanics and 5.6% for American Indians and Native Alaskans living on reservations. Those identifying as some other race had a net undercount of 4.3%.

French bulldog stolen from San Jose Target parking lot reunited with owner
SAN JOSE, Calif. - A San Jose woman was reunited with her French bulldog that was stolen as she was loading her car in San Jose.
Dolce was returned Tuesday night after her owner, Quinnesha Powell, issued a plea for the dog's safe return.
Powell shared the update on the dog's Instagram account and thanked everyone for their support in trying to help locate the puppy.
Dolce was snatched from Powell's SUV last Saturday in a north San Jose Target parking lot.
Powell said it happened as she was placing the items she purchased in her car.
She said a woman reached out to her after seeing news reports on the stolen dog and set up a time to return the dog.
It's unclear how the woman came into possession of the animal.
Powell was offering a $10,000 reward for Dolce's safe return, however, no reward was given. | https://www.ktvu.com/news/french-bulldog-stolen-from-san-jose-target-parking-lot-reunited-with-owner | 2022-07-14T19:49:04Z | https://www.ktvu.com/news/french-bulldog-stolen-from-san-jose-target-parking-lot-reunited-with-owner | true | null |
Veterinarians grappling with national pet blood shortage
CHARLESTON, S.C. - Donating blood is critical to saving lives, which is why organizations such as the Red Cross are often urging people to donate. But blood donations for pets are frequently overlooked.
BluePearl Pet Hospitals in the Charleston, South Carolina, area say they only get about a third of the donations they’d like.
When they don’t have enough blood — that leads to tough situations.
4,000 BEAGLES RESCUED FROM VA BREEDING FACILITY IN NEED OF NEW HOMES
"That’s what’s scary, especially when you hear we might not [have] enough blood in order for your dog to survive," said South Carolina resident Sherry Shepherd.
Shepherd's beagle puppy Harley was just 6 weeks old when her family got her. But it wasn’t long before something was off.
A bag of blood donated by a dog in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, is shown in this image. (Fox News)
"She went to go get some water and she fell over," Shepherd said.
The vet said Harley had a parasitic infection and needed an emergency blood transfusion. But the veterinarian didn’t have the correct blood for the animal.
"We didn’t think she was going to make it at all."
Another vet nearby had the blood, thankfully. Five weeks and three transfusions later, Harley is looking a lot better.
"She was 1.3 pounds the first time, and now she’s over four-and-a-half pounds."
Harley is lucky — but not all dogs are.
Harley's prognosis is better, thanks to donated blood. (FOX News)
"The fact of the matter is there are definitely cases that could have been saved if we had [had] the resources," said Heather Moore.
She is the blood bank program director for BluePearl’s Mount Pleasant location, the hospital that saved Harley.
US NAVY SAILORS REUNITE WITH THE DOGS THEY RESCUED FROM NEAR-CERTAIN DEATH IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Moore says they’re so short on blood that she sometimes brings her own dog in for a donation if a puppy is dying.
She encourages anyone with a healthy dog or cat to consider regularly donating.
"Knowing that your pet needs help and may not have the blood product they need — that is heartbreaking, and [it is] fixable if the community comes together," Moore said.
BluePearl locations around the country have seen a 26% drop in pet blood donations since the coronavirus pandemic.
Shepherd says that from now on, she’ll do her part.
"We personally are going to be including our own dog, our lab. She meets the requirements, so she will go forward," Shepherd said.
BluePearl says that depending on how big a dog is, one donation of blood can save up to three other pets.

The New Wildflower Cases Drop Is A Tumblr-Era Throwback
Indie sleaze is back — and it’s all over a phone case.
Wildflower Cases’ newest launch has sparked a ton of nostalgia online. Ahead of its Stud case drop on Thursday, July 14, co-founders and sisters Devon and Sydney Carlson revealed that they would be bringing back their beloved design as a tribute to OG Tumblr girls everywhere. The two shared photos from their most recent campaign shoot, paying homage to their aesthetic — complete with cutoff denim shorts, obviously — more than a decade ago.
The limited-edition Stud case — with a colorful floral background (pink or blue) and embellished with silver or gold studs — was first released in 2012, back when Instagram photos were heavily filtered and Tumblr was the online moodboard of choice. The debut launch was a hit, and plenty of influencers and celebrities, including Addison Rae, have asked for the cases to make a comeback over the years.
“We had the idea to bring back our OG studded cases in honor of our 10-year anniversary,” Sydney tells NYLON. “It felt like the perfect time and hearing the excitement from everyone else just makes it that much better.”
“The launch of these cases is different from anything else. The Studs were the first cases we ever made when our company started so bringing them back is the most nostalgic feeling,” adds Devon. “These cases have so much history and being able to use them again is bringing me so much joy.”
As for whether the two plan to bring back more Wildflower Cases from the past, it’s still too early to tell. But considering the response to the return of their first-ever original design, chances are they’ll be browsing through the archives again soon.
Devon and Sydney shared with NYLON some #tbt gems from Wildflower Cases’ original launch of the Stud case. (iPhones were so tiny back then!)

Covid-19 federal assistance to state and local governments and its consequences
California governor and presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom recently reached an agreement with state legislators on yet another round of checks to be mailed to households around the state (Luna 2022). Households will receive up to $1,050 in cash from the state government, in a maneuver estimated to cost almost $10 billion....

The next showdown in Parliament is set for July 20, when Draghi will formally pitch for support ahead of a confidence vote — this time not on a specific bill but on his government's very viability.
“Wednesday, in Parliament, in front of the nation, every political force must assume its responsibilities,'' said the Democratic Party whip in the lower chamber of Parliament, Debora Serracchiani.
In Brussels, the European Union's finance commissioner, Paolo Gentiloni, a former Italian premier, said officials there were “following with worried astonishment” the potential unraveling of Draghi's coalition.
The uncertainty over Draghi's staying power also appeared to rattle the markets. The Milan stock exchange lost 3.44% on Thursday.
If Draghi can't solidly stitch together enough support to carry out his economic reforms, Mattarella could pull the plug on Parliament, setting the stage for an early election as soon as late September. Currently, Parliament’s term expires in spring 2023.
Mattarella had tapped the former European Central Bank chief — who was known as “Super Mario” for his “whatever it takes” rescue of the euro — to pull Italy out of the pandemic and lay the groundwork to make use of billions in European Union pandemic recovery funds.
The 5-Stars, who have lost significant support in recent local elections and have slumped in opinion polls, are in disarray. Hard-line 5-Star lawmakers who were skeptical of joining Draghi's government last year have been complaining that their interests have been ignored.
In the measure Thursday, the 5-Stars opposed a provision to allow Rome to operate a garbage incinerator on the outskirts of the chronically trash-choked Italian capital.
In the debate, several senators blasted Conte’s decision to have 5-Star senators boycott the vote.
Being in a government “is not like picking up a menu and deciding, antipasto, no, gelato, yes,″ said Emma Bonino, who leads a tiny pro-Europe party.
Others noted that Draghi has become a pivotal figure in Europe as Russia wages war against Ukraine, especially with the impending departure of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Draghi has governed with the support of virtually all of Italy’s main parties, with the exception of the fast-rising far-right Brothers of Italy party. The potential implosion of Draghi's coalition triggered fresh demands, by the party's leader, Giorgia Meloni, for an early election that she hopes will be her springboard to becoming Italy's first woman premier.
Giovanni Orsina, a history professor and director of the school of government at Rome's LUISS university, correctly predicted that Mattarella would ask Draghi to find a new, workable majority.
“We've got the pandemic, we got the war, we have inflation, we have the energy crisis. So certainly this is not a good moment,” Orsina said. "Mattarella believes, rightly, that his mission is to safeguard stability.”
Among Draghi’s achievements has been keeping Italy on track with reforms that the EU has made a condition for the country to receive 200 billion euros (dollars) in pandemic recovery assistance. Much of that EU funding is already allocated, suggesting it won't be lost even amid government instability.

Dune grass fires are a risk during our annual dry spell. The county has initiated an outdoor “burn ban” to start July 15. From about now until rains return in September or October, Western Washington typically is drier than Arizona.
Pacific County will be implementing a “Burn Ban” effective at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, July 15 until further notice. Pacific County joins Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) along with Clark, Cowlitz, Lewis, Skamania, and Wahkiakum Counties in implementing this burn ban.
The burn ban applies to outdoor debris burning.
Recreational campfires are allowed if built in improved fire pits in designated campgrounds, such as those typically found in local, county, and state parks and in commercial campgrounds. On private land, recreational fires are permitted when built according to the following regulations:
• Recreational fires must be in a metal, stone, or masonry-lined fire pit such as those in improved campgrounds or available at home and garden stores.
• Size may not exceed 3 feet in diameter by 2 feet in height.

A community reuse centre in Biggleswade has seen demand for its foodbank services soar from around ten people a week pre-pandemic to 993 last month.
Kathy Lewis, who runs Preen, warns it will get worse, predicting this figure will double at the start of the school holidays and potentially again at the end of the summer break in September.
Ms Lewis would like new premises whether or not her lease is extended for the current site.
“We’ve been there for 15 years and we’re just getting steadily busier,” she told a town council meeting. “I would encourage you to be our champions if there’s any help you can give us with a new building.
“When we moved into our site in Sun Street, it had been empty for 12 years. We’ve done the best we can with it, and our landlord is fantastic and has been very good to us.
“But it’s beyond economic repair and he has to make the decisions whether he knocks it down or not. In this weather, it’s absolutely horrendous and sometimes I have to close. In winter, it’s colder inside than it is outside.”
Describing it as “a viable social enterprise”, she explained that £2.5m to buy the site in its current location “wouldn’t be a good use of this money”. Obtaining land elsewhere would provide the warehouse space needed.
“In September, the landlord will decide whether to renew the leases of the two organisations on there or put it up for sale,” according to Ms Lewis.
“We need to decide whether we move out of Biggleswade,” she added. “We need a retail park size unit and help to identify a piece of land we could acquire.
“There’s plenty of goodwill to keep us in the town. But we need to move beyond that now and come up with a plan. I can’t let the social enterprise fail.”
She suggested it would be equally as popular if it relocated to Hitchin or Letchworth. “We love living here. It’s a great community. We’d started a foodbank before the pandemic and I perhaps did ten a week.
“Last month, we had 993 people. That’s plenty of food. This number will double at the start of the summer holidays and probably double again at the end, when bills begin to kick in.
“It’s not free food for people on benefits. That’s not what we’re about. The people who visit are working. People regarded as essential workers during lockdown are coming to my foodbank because they can’t afford to live.
“I’m begging really. I don’t want to lose this project, not for me but for the people who really need us in this town. We don’t want to leave.”
Town mayor Grant Fage said: “I’m struck by some of those figures and it’s worrying to hear the direction of travel you predict. It would be a huge loss to Biggleswade.
“We don’t have that kind of space to offer as a council, but we’ll be in touch if there’s anything we see.” | https://www.biggleswadetoday.co.uk/news/people/preen-begging-for-new-home-as-demand-for-biggleswade-foodbank-soars-by-more-than-2000-3768537 | 2022-07-14T20:09:27Z | https://www.biggleswadetoday.co.uk/news/people/preen-begging-for-new-home-as-demand-for-biggleswade-foodbank-soars-by-more-than-2000-3768537 | false | 1 |
MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam was back on top of an LPGA Tour leaderboard Wednesday, teaming with Madelene Sagstrom in the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational.
Sorenstam and Sagstrom shot a 5-under 65 in alternate-shot play at Midland Country Club for a share of the first-round lead with fellow late starters Pauline Roussin and Dewi Weber.
“It is different because it’s a team format,” Sorenstam said. “I have a great partner. I mean, I guess, I really don’t think about it, but it’s nice to see your name on the board somewhere. I just try to focus on my game and do what I can with the skill set I have today.”
The 51-year-old Sorenstam is making her second LPGA Tour start of the year and only her third since retiring after the 2008 season. The teams will play better ball Thursday and Saturday and alternate shot again Friday.
“It really was fun,” Sorenstam said. “I think we had really good chemistry. We had a good time. I was excited to be here and I told that to Madelene on the range. I was really kind of pumped and looking forward to playing.”
Sorenstam missed the cut in the U.S. Women’s Open last month, then tied for fourth last week in Nevada in the mostly male American Century Championship.
“I really didn’t feel any pressure from my partner,” Sorenstam said. “I just felt good about most of the shots. I mean, there were a few that obviously could have been a little better and maybe a little bit more aggressive on my putts, but overall, it was calm golf. It was fairways. It was greens.”
Sagstrom won the 2020 Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio for her lone tour title. They made the turn in 3 under, ran off three straight birdies on Nos. 12-14, and dropped a stroke on the par-4 16th with their lone bogey.
“I was, like, `This is too perfect,’” Sagstrom said. “It worked out so great. I hit some good drives too to give her some good opportunities. We just took advantage of some of the opportunities we had. We had plenty more, but it was overall just a really fun day.”
Weber and Roussin are both winless on the tour. They had a bogey-free round, finishing on the front nine just after Sorenstam and Sagstrom completed play on the back nine.
“We’re Team French Fry and Apple Pie,” Weber said.
Sorenstam and Sagstrom, played alongside Lexi Thompson and Brittany Altomare, with the Americans shooting 71 in the round delayed 2 hours, 40 minutes because of morning rain.
The teams of Jodi Ewart Shadoff-Emma Talley, Jillian Hollis-Lauren Stephenson and Pornanong Phatlum-Pavarisa Yoktuan shot 66. Allison Emrey and Katherine Perry-Hamski followed at 67.
Jennifer Kupcho and Lizette Salas topped the group at 68. Sisters Nelly and Jessica Korda were at 69, with 47-year-old Karrie Webb and Marina Alex.
Defending champions Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn shot 73.
The tournament is scheduled to end Saturday so players can head to France next week for the fourth major of the year at the Evian Championship. That will start the European portion of the LPGA Tour schedule that includes the Women’s British Open at Muirfield. | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/sports/ap-sports/annika-sorenstam-back-on-top-of-lpga-tour-leaderboard/ | 2022-07-14T20:11:20Z | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/sports/ap-sports/annika-sorenstam-back-on-top-of-lpga-tour-leaderboard/ | false | 31 |

WoW Dragonflight leak shows Alexstraza and brand new mounts
On July 14, the Dragonflight alpha went live, and as is tradition, players dug through the game’s files to reveal unseen content.
In the leak, Alexstraza’s new outfit for Dragonflight was shown up. The guardian of all life on Azeroth is now rocking tons of gold in a spiky new outfit you wouldn’t want to get too close to. The red and the gold come together for a truly fashionable fit.
On top of her new threads, new mounts were data mined which also whipped up WoW players into a frenzy.
The eight new unearthed mounts included stars like an otter, a molten mammoth, and a lava snail.
While all of the mounts are awesome, the otter completely stole the show as an adorable mount players we surely rush to obtain.
As we draw closer and closer to Dragonflight’s official release, new content will continue to be revealed. | https://www.dexerto.com/world-of-warcraft/wow-dragonflight-leaks-reveal-new-alexstrasza-model-and-8-unreleased-mounts-1872043/ | 2022-07-14T20:11:48Z | https://www.dexerto.com/world-of-warcraft/wow-dragonflight-leaks-reveal-new-alexstrasza-model-and-8-unreleased-mounts-1872043/ | true | 1 |
