LIUZHOU, China, July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Choubao Luosifen, a Chinese luosifen or river snail rice noodles brand, has announced the launch of its brand cartoon character with the same name as the brand - Choubao - on social media platforms. Choubao's cute and adorable image has quickly gained popularity online.
The idea for designing the image of Choubao originates from endorphin. Endorphin is an amino compound secreted by the pituitary gland. It is an intracerebral substance that is secreted by the body in response to increased external stimulation, which in turn produces a sense of excitement and pleasure. The character is a "happy fungus" that produces a contented feeling in anyone who enjoys a serving of luosifen. The idea behind the concept is that it can bring happiness to anyone who consumes the tasty food, by releasing the "happy fungus".
Luosifen is a local traditional food originating from Liuzhou, China. With the brand mission of "creating happiness", Choubao luosifen offer ultimate taste stimulation and pleasure through the ingredient-rich food and the fun experience it engenders.
Choubao Luosifen are now sold in dozens of countries and regions.

Which electric tricycle for adults is best?
For commuting around town or buying groceries, having a compact form of transportation makes each trip much easier. With space to store belongings while riding, electric tricycles for adults are a good way to get from place to place. There are more electric tricycles for adults being sold now than ever before.
With so many options and features available, finding the right one can be difficult. Evaluating which personal needs are most important can help make the decision much easier.
What to know before you buy an electric tricycle for adults
Battery life
One of the most important features for any electric tricycle is its battery life. Many batteries are designed with fire-safe materials to prevent any possible dangers from damage. Battery mileage ranges can be rather wide, with some batteries lasting for just a few miles, while others lasting for well over 50 miles without needing to be charged.
Portability
A huge factor for any electric tricycle for adults is portability. While most people have trouble fitting electric tricycles into the trunk of a car, many models can be folded down or compressed. These tricycles usually have the trade-off of being more expensive and less durable.
What to look for in a quality electric tricycle for adults
Engine power and weight capacity
A major feature of electric tricycles is how powerful the motor is for both speed and weight capacity. For buyers wanting an electric tricycle for carrying groceries or other supplies, having a motor with at least a few hundreds watts of power will make a difference.
Comfort and design
A big decision for any buyer is the comfort and design of the electric tricycle. Several electric tricycles come with additional padding on the seats or ergonomically designed chairs. Many electric tricycles come in several colors or with specific designs that make it more stylish.
How much you can expect to spend on an electric tricycle for adults
Higher quality electric tricycles can cost $1,000-$5,000, with some exceptional models costing more. There are more affordable options coming in at around $800 or less; however, these tricycles are not made with the same quality and usually lack the same battery power as higher quality models.

That Neighborhood Free Health Clinic. a nonprofit organization, exists to provide free quality health care to the uninsured and underserved in North Toledo and the surrounding community. Since 2014, TNFHC has been providing care to area patients while encouraging wellness, health education and accessibility.
Paul Chandler PA-C and Glenn Carlson MD worked alongside the Governing Committee and That Neighborhood Revitalization Corp to open TNFHC in 2014, following restoration of the clinic space, which began in 2013. The project was completed with a monetary donation from The Andersons and a donation of medical supplies and equipment from ProMedica and Toledo Hospital.
The clinic saw 477 patients in their first year of operation. By 2019, they had nearly doubled that number to 893 for the year.. They now provide Basic Metabolic Panels (BMP), Liver Profiles, Hemoglobin A1C, Lipid Panels, hemoglobin and hematocrit all in house. TNFHC is also working with local healthcare organizations to obtain basic radiology technology.
TNFHC created partnerships with local organizations such as ProMedica and The Toledo Hospital, while continuing to work on partnerships with other organizations including Toledo Public Schools (TPS), 1Voice matters, One Village and others.
They have also partnered with the University of Toledo’s Physician Assistant Program to allow students to work and learn alongside established physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners to enhance their education and to better serve TNFHC patients.
Non-emergent services offered at TNFHC include acute illness treatments (flu, cold, etc.), physical exams, diabetic care, STD testing, endocrinology services and more. Women’s health services are also available at the clinic, including annual wellness exams. All medical services are provided by volunteer licensed doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and student physician assistants. Patient assistance is also provided by volunteer receptionists, lab personnel and support staff.
All TNFHC care is provided free of charge (although donations are gratefully accepted), with no eligibility requirements and no income, insurance or geographic restrictions. Priority is given to patients without health insurance and demographic statistical information may be requested at the time of service.
TNFHC looks forward to offering continued free quality care to their neighbors and patients while improving the scope of care they will provide in the future. TNFHC invites community members to contact them regarding volunteer opportunities. Information on donations or how to financially support the clinic is available here.

MJ Williams believes Conor Bradley will be a 'great player' for Bolton Wanderers this season in his loan spell from Liverpool and believes his Anfield background will see him fit in well with how the Whites play.
The 19-year-old right-back has joined Wanderers for the upcoming season in League One. It will be the first spell away from Anfield for the young defender.
The right-back has also played five times for Jurgen Klopp's side across the Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. All of these appearances came last season, but will now spend the upcoming campaign out on loan at Wanderers.
READ MORE:Derry City boss speaks on Bolton Wanderers transfer target Eoin Toal's future after Riga loss
Bradley was a long-term target for Ian Evatt and Wanderers, with the Whites having made him their number one target in January, but Liverpool were unwilling to let him out on loan at that time. The move has become a reality now and the teenager is poised for a busy campaign out in League One.
Bradley has featured heavily during pre-season and caught the eye at right wing-back. He scored his first goal for the club in the 2-2 draw versus Stockport County earlier this month.
Wanderers midfielder Williams came through the youth team ranks at Anfield, like Bradley has done. He is in no doubt the Northern Ireland international will be a success this season and feels the way he has played at Liverpool will suit him at the Whites.
Williams said: “He is a great lad, pretty quiet but I am sure we will get him out of his shell.
“Out on the pitch you can tell he’s come from a club like Liverpool. The way we want to play here is front foot, so he is used to it.
“He is quick and I think he has got the longest legs I have ever seen on a footballer. I am sure he will be a great player for us this season."
Jack Iredale has also joined this summer from Cambridge United. The left sided defender will provide competition for the back three and at wing-back.
Williams believes the new signing has fitted in well with his new club. The midfielder is surprised by how quick the former Cambridge United man is and, like with Bradley, thinks he will have a great season.
He said: “He can play both positions well and he’s quick. I was pretty surprised. He is knocking out sprints like Rico (Ricardo Santos) at the moment.
“He has come in and settled in a good group that has been together for quite a while. I am sure he will have a great season."

Which bread boxes are best?
Approximately 24 million slices of bread are thrown out each day worldwide. If you have the right bread box, it will keep loaves fresher for longer. Whether you only need one compact bread box or your household goes through multiple loaves each week, there’s an option to fit your needs. With the right bread box, your baked goods will last longer than ever.
What are bread boxes for?
Too much air turns bread stale, while humidity leads to quicker mold growth. Bread boxes address both these issues by covering the bread so it doesn’t get too much air but still allows a small amount of airflow to regulate humidity and inhibit mold.
Loaves of bread are the most common items people store in bread bins, but you can also use them to store other bread products, such as rolls and pastries.
What to look for in a bread box
Before you start your search, consider what you need from a bread box. This will help you find one that best fits your household’s bread consumption habits.
Size
Bread boxes vary in size. Some only hold a single loaf comfortably, while others fit as many as four loaves. In some households, everyone has their own bread preference. One person might like white sliced loaves, but another may prefer whole wheat bread or sourdough. In these cases, it makes sense to have a bread box that fits multiple loaves.
Large boxes are also great for anyone who wants to store other bread products alongside a loaf. However, they take up more counter space, which can be an issue for some buyers.
Lid type
Roll-top lids are common because they’re easy to open and close and aren’t fully airtight, so humidity won’t build. Some people prefer lift-off lids because there’s less chance of them breaking or sticking over time. However, they can fit too tightly and increase humidity. Some boxes also feature doors rather than lids. These may lift up or open outward.
Window
A window in the lid or door lets you check your bread without opening it up and looking inside. This makes you less likely to run out of bread or pick up more bread from the store when you don’t need it.
Design
You can find bread boxes in a wide range of styles, from classic farmhouse designs to modern ones with clean lines. Consider your existing kitchen decor and pick a bread box that complements it.
Best roll-top bread boxes
Available in a medium size that fits one loaf or a large size that fits two loaves, there’s something to suit most buyers. It’s made primarily of steel with a choice of 11 finishes, including red, white and mint. Sold by Amazon
RoyalHouse Natural Bamboo Roll Top Bread Box
This large bamboo box is roomy enough to fit two loaves. It looks great with a natural bamboo finish. It does require assembly, which some buyers find frustrating. Sold by Amazon
Oggi Stainless Steel Roll Top Bread Box
The body is made from food-grade stainless steel with a choice of steel, frosted glass or tempered glass lids. It’s big enough to fit two large loaves, four small loaves or a combination of bread products. Sold by Amazon

Deep enough to hold a couple of standard loaves, this is a roomy choice for households with varying bread preferences. The bamboo design gives it a classic look that works in most kitchens. It comes fully assembled. Sold by Amazon
Best bread boxes with lift-off lids
Cooler Kitchen Extra Large Bread Box
Thanks to the vertical design, this box easily holds two loaves without taking up too much counter space. The lift-off lid only seals lightly to allow proper airflow and reduce the speed at which mold grows. Sold by Amazon
Outshine Extra Large Bread Box
Available in white, mint or royal blue, this painted metal box has a traditional farmhouse style that looks great in country kitchens. It holds two loaves of average size, with a little space left for other bread products. Sold by Amazon
This box offers a contemporary take on a classic farmhouse style, with a white metal body and a wooden lid. This lid isn’t airtight to allow decent airflow inside and doubles as a breadboard. Sold by Amazon
Baie Mason Extra Large White Farmhouse Bread Box
With a white finish and a wooden lift-off lid, it has an appealing farmhouse style. The lid doesn’t fit too tightly, which allows for the necessary airflow to keep mold at bay. Sold by Amazon
Best two-tier bread boxes

Pitmoly Stainless Steel Bread Box
With two tiers, there’s plenty of storage space for a couple of loaves and other baked goods, but it doesn’t take up too much counter space. It comes in either black or sage green. Sold by Amazon
The classic design features two tiers with outward-opening doors and a natural bamboo finish. It comes with a bonus bread knife and cutting board. Sold by Amazon
Arise Stylish Bamboo Bread Box

BOSTON (AP) — A Connecticut ophthalmologist has pleaded guilty to receiving kickbacks in a scheme in which he ordered hundreds of medically unnecessary brain scans that resulted in millions of dollars in fraudulent billing to health insurers, federal prosecutors said.
Dr. Donald Salzberg, 67, conspired with an alleged accomplice at a medical diagnostic company in the scheme that ran from 2014 through 2019, the U.S. attorney's office in Boston said in a statement Thursday.
Salzberg, whose practice is in West Hartford, Connecticut, used false patient diagnoses to order the brain scans and the other person would submit claims to Medicare and other insurance companies for payment, prosecutors said.
Salzberg was paid cash kickbacks of $100 to $125 per test that he ordered, as well as sham administrative services fees, while more than $3 million in fraudulent claims were submitted to Medicare and private insurance companies, prosecutors said.
Salzberg pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud and conspiracy to receive kickbacks. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. A sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Doctor-admits-to-receiving-kickbacks-for-sham-17307441.php | 2022-07-15T15:45:28Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Doctor-admits-to-receiving-kickbacks-for-sham-17307441.php | true | 17 |
Zimbabwe, Netherlands qualify for Twenty20 World Cup
Hosts Zimbabwe and the Netherlands filled the last two places for the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia by winning their qualifying tournament semi-finals in Bulawayo on Friday.
Zimbabwe beat Papua New Guinea by 27 runs after posting 199-5 in 20 overs, then restricting their opponents to 172-8.
The Netherlands defeated the United States by seven wickets. Replying to an American total of 138 in 19.4 overs, the Dutch scored 139-3 with six balls to spare.
Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, England, India, Ireland, Namibia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Scotland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates and the West Indies had already secured places.
The 16-team tournament runs from October 16 to November 13 with Australia defending a title they won in the UAE last year.
Winning the toss and opting to bat, Zimbabwe clicked with six batsman led by Wesley Madhevere scoring at least 22 runs.
PAY ATTENTION: check out news exactly for YOU ➡️ find "Recommended for you" block and enjoy!
Madhevere top scored with 42, including five fours, and added 63 runs for the second wicket with captain Craig Ervine.
Papua New Guinea, who scraped into the semi-finals on net run rate after winning only one of three group matches, were close to matching the Zimbabwe run rate for much of the innings with Tony Ura starring.
But when Ura fell off the final ball of the 14th, after notching 66, including five sixes and four fours off 35 balls, the island nation lost momentum.
Blessing Muzarabani was the most succesful Zimbabwe bowler, taking two wickets at the expense of 24 runs in four overs.
Zimbabwe, who appointed former star batsman Dave Houghton as coach just before the tournament, will be making a fifth appearance at the T20 finals.
In the other semi-final, captain Monank Patel top scored for the USA with 32 and Steven Taylor, their star batsman in the group stage, contributed 26.
Bas de Leede and Paul van Meekeren took two wickets each, but Fred Klaassen, who captured five wickets against Uganda on Thursday, had a disappointing 0-40 four-over stint.
After impressing with the ball, De Leede did even better with the bat, striking an unbeaten 91, including three sixes and nine fours.
Captain and wicketkeeper Scott Edwards weighed in with a run-a-ball 26 to ensure a fourth consecutive appearance at the T20 World Cup tournament for the Dutch.
In placement play-offs, there were victories for Uganda over Jersey and Hong Kong against Singapore, the only team not win so far in Bulawayo.

LONDON (AP) — A top contender to replace British Prime Minister Boris Johnson accused opponents of “mudslinging” as the Conservative Party leadership contest ended a bruising first week on Friday with five candidates remaining
Penny Mordaunt, a junior government minister and Royal Navy reservist who is little known to the general public, has surged to become the bookies’ favorite to become Britain's next prime minister. Former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak remains the official frontrunner, with the most support from Conservative lawmakers in the voting so far.
Voting by Conservative legislators is due to continue next week until there are two candidates, who will face a runoff vote among all Conservative party members. The winner of the party race is to be announced on Sept. 5 and will automatically become prime minister.
Mordaunt is second, while Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is in third place and seeking to become the unity candidate for those on the party’s right wing who worry that Sunak lacks commitment to cutting taxes.
The contest has turned nasty.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, a Cabinet minister who supports Truss, called Sunak a “socialist” because of the billions he spent to keep the economy afloat during the coronavirus pandemic. Another Truss supporter, former Brexit negotiator David Frost, claimed Mordaunt “did not master the detail” when she worked in his department and had to be moved to another job.
Mordaunt urged the party to run “a positive contest.”
“I don’t want mudslinging,” she said, adding that opponents were “trying to stop me getting into the final two,” when a winner will be decided by Conservative Party members.
Since Johnson resigned as party leader on July 7 after months of ethics scandals, a field of 11 candidates to replace him has been winnowed down to five.
Sunak, whose resignation as finance minister last week helped topple Johnson, is running as an experienced minster who can guide the country through the economic turbulence caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. But he is facing attack from Johnson allies who consider him a turncoat.
Truss is touting her international experience, as Britain’s top diplomat and a former trade secretary, and is vowing to take a tough line with the European Union in post-Brexit trade spats.
Mordaunt’s chief selling points are an air of normality and a distance from the scandal-tarnished Johnson administration. She did not serve in Johnson's Cabinet.
Also in the race are former Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch, a rising star of the party’s libertarian right, and centrist backbench lawmaker Tom Tugendhat. Both are under pressure to drop out and throw their support behind one of the three front-runners but say they will fight on and try to build support through televised candidates’ debates over the weekend.
Johnson won the Conservatives a commanding parliamentary majority in 2019, but has been beset by accusations that he was too close to party donors, that he protected supporters from bullying and corruption allegations and that he misled Parliament about government office parties that broke COVID-19 lockdown rules.
He remains in office until his replacement is chosen.
Despite the clashes between the Conservative candidates, they agree on most issues. None of the contenders is seeking closer ties with the EU, and none has renounced Johnson’s most contentious policies: legislation to rip up parts of the U.K.’s Brexit deal with the bloc, and a plan to send some asylum-seekers arriving in Britain to Rwanda that is being challenged in the courts.
Tim Bale, a professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London, said the issues most important to Conservatives — above all Brexit — did not reflect the priorities of the country as a whole. That could be a problem for the party at the next national election, due by 2024.
“There’s always a potential mismatch between what a party wants — because a party is much more ideological — and what voters want,” Bale said. “(The Conservative Party) has elevated Brexit to sacred levels, and I think that sometimes blinds them to the economic realities that this country is facing.”

AKRON, Ohio — The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office held a media event Friday morning to release the autopsy results of Jayland Walker, the 25-year-old man who was fatally shot by Akron, Ohio, police last month. Below are the findings released by Summit County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lisa Kohler:
- The autopsy determined that Walker had 46 gunshot entrance or graze wounds
- 5 wounds entered on the back surface of the 46, the findings cannot indicate if they were sustained while Walker was running or turning. 41 entered on the front and sides.
- 15 gunshot wounds entered the torso, causing injury to the heart, lungs, liver, spleen and other internal organs
- 17 gunshot wounds were to the pelvis and upper legs
- 1 bullet struck Walker’s face, fracturing his jaw
- 5 gunshot wounds injured his knees and legs
- 26 bullets were recovered from the body
- Walker tested negative for drugs of abuse and alcohol
- The cause of death was blood loss from internal injuries.
- Walker’s hands were not swabbed for gunshot residue as the FBI stopped testing for gunshot residue in 2006 because of its unreliability
Dr. Lisa Kohler answered questions from the media regarding the autopsy process but did comment on any other part of the ongoing investigation.
Walker's death is being investigated by Ohio BCI and members of the United Nations International Independent Expert Mechanism to Advance Racial Justice and Equality in the context of Law Enforcement.
On Wednesday, Walker's funeral service was held at the Akron Civic Theater.
The NAACP on Thursday made a direct plea to Attorney General Merrick Garland for the Justice Department to open a federal civil rights investigation into Walker’s death.
His death prompted unrest in northeast Ohio and forced Akron's mayor to implement a nightly curfew last week. The unrest also caused some Fourth of July events to canceld.

After more than 40 people were reported missing in massive flooding in Virginia, officials said Thursday everyone has been accounted for.
Buchanan County Sheriff's Office responded to flooding following a massive storm in western Virginia on Tuesday. Initially, 44 people were reported missing. Rescuers cleared 400 buildings in the area.
“Today, we are happy to report that zero people are unaccounted for in the impact area,” Chief Deputy Eric Breeding said on Thursday. “Crews were out all night last night, and there was five crews out this morning reaching to those in the flooded area that were reported missing on our hotline yesterday and they were all located. We’re also happy to report we are at zero fatalities during this flooding incident.”
Nearly 5 inches of rain was reported in just several hours in a section of Buchanan County, Virginia, forcing the National Weather Service to issue flash flood warnings.
Although the water has receded, some homes were damaged, and roads were washed away. Gov. Glenn Youngkin declared a state of emergency. | https://www.ktvh.com/news/national/everyone-has-been-accounted-for-following-massive-virginia-flood | 2022-07-15T15:50:01Z | https://www.ktvh.com/news/national/everyone-has-been-accounted-for-following-massive-virginia-flood | false | 11 |
Highlights
- Devendra Fadnavis was reacting to comments made by Opposition leader
- Fadnavis was the chief minister of BJP-led government from 2014 to 2019
- Fadnavis had to accept Deputy CM's post on the insistence of BJP top brass after Shinde formed govt
Maharashtra news: BJP leader and Maharashtra's second-in-command, Devendra Fadnavis, said there was no "Super CM" in the present Eknath Shinde-led government. This comment by Fadnavis comes after some opposition leaders claimed Fadnavis is calling the shots even though Shinde is the Chief Minister.
"There is no concept of super CM in the present government. We have only one chief minister and that is Eknath Shinde. We are working under his leadership. But some people can't digest this. They should get used to be in the opposition now," the BJP leader said, speaking to reporters.
Fadnavis, who was chief minister of the BJP-led government from 2014 to 2019, had to accept the deputy CM's post on the insistence of the party high command after the BJP backed Shiv Sena rebel Shinde for the top post. To another question, Fadnavis said there was no need to read much into his visit to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray earlier in the day.
"In Maharashtra, we have a culture of following political etiquette. He (Raj Thackeray) was unwell and I paid him a visit. What is so political about it?" the BJP leader said. Hitting out at the previous Uddhav Thackeray-led government, Fadnavis said, "The last cabinet meeting of that government was convened after the Governor had asked it to prove its majority. The meeting was illegal and they took decisions to rename Aurangabad, Osmanabad cities and the Navi Mumbai Airport while on their way out. We will ratify the decisions in the next cabinet meeting because we are in majority."

Mobile County records initial case of monkeypox reported in Alabama
MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - The Alabama Department of Public Health and Mobile County Health Department have identified the first case of monkeypox virus infection in Alabama.
Both organizations remain on alert for additional cases, according to a news release. The release provides the following information.
The patient’s specimen was tested by the ADPH Bureau of Clinical Laboratories, which is part of the Laboratory Response Network that responds to public health emergencies.
In this outbreak of monkeypox in the United States, approximately 1,470 cases have been identified in 44 states and more are expected. Monkeypox does not spread easily from person to person. But close, intimate, skin-to-skin contact appears to be the primary mode of transmission in the current global outbreak. It is possible that contact with materials used by infected persons, such as clothing and linens, can be a way to contract the virus. The virus typically enters the body through broken skin, respiratory droplets, or mucous membranes (eyes, nose or mouth).
Symptoms in this most current outbreak have not been as typical as in previous cases of monkeypox. Instead, persons will have a rash that starts out as flat spots, followed by raised spots, then vesicles that are deep-seated, have a tiny spot in the middle of the vesicle, and may be itchy or painful.
The rash may only be on one part of the body. Some people may only have the rash and not develop other symptoms such as fever, flu-like illness, headache, muscle aches, or fatigue.
The time between exposure to the virus and when the illness begins is about seven to 14 days but can be as long as 21 days. Some people who have had monkeypox have been men who have sex with men, but any person exposed to a person with monkeypox and close skin-to-skin contact can be infected.
Steps to help prevent monkeypox include the following:
• Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with a person who has monkeypox.
• Do not handle or touch the bedding, clothing, or towels of a person who has monkeypox.
• Have persons with monkeypox isolate away from others.
• Wash hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, especially after contact with ill people who have monkeypox.
• Avoid contact with animals that could have the virus (such as animals that are sick or that have been found dead).
Do not hesitate to get in touch with your healthcare provider if you believe you may have monkeypox or have had close intimate contact with someone with a monkeypox rash.
Testing for monkeypox can be done at the ADPH BCL and some commercial laboratories. An effective vaccine against monkeypox exists, but at this time there is no recommendation for vaccination for those with no known exposure to confirmed cases. Antiviral treatment can be considered in persons who have certain high-risk conditions, such as immunosuppression.
For more information about monkeypox, visit the ADPH monkeypox webpage at www.alabamapublichealth.gov/monkeypox or the CDC monkeypox webpage at www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/ monkeypox/index.html.

ANDERSON, Calif. (AP) — Containment of a small but destructive Northern California wildfire increased Friday.
The Peter Fire in Shasta County south of Redding remained at 304 acres (123 hectares) but containment jumped to 34% overnight, up from 25%.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said the fire erupted shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday and destroyed 12 structures before its forward progress was stopped.
The Redding Record Searchlight newspaper reported that at least three of the structures were homes.
In the Sierra Nevada, a wildfire that began July 7 in Yosemite National Park continued to move eastward along the south fork of the Merced River into the Sierra National Forest.
The 7.3-square-mile (18.9-square-kilometer) Washburn Fire was 27% contained Friday. | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Northern-California-fire-stopped-after-12-17307317.php | 2022-07-15T15:59:35Z | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Northern-California-fire-stopped-after-12-17307317.php | false | null |
Baby born on 7/11 in the parking lot of 7-Eleven
SHINNSTON, W.Va. (WDTV/Gray News) – A baby boy was born in a 7-Eleven parking lot in West Virginia on 7/11.
Waylon Bush was born just before 3:30 a.m. Monday. He weighs 6 pounds, 8 ounces and is 19 inches long, according to WDTV.
Allie Sayers and her fiancée were heading to the hospital but had to make an emergency stop on the way.
“I was like, ‘No, this baby is coming. There’s no way he’s waiting.’ And my fiancée delivered our baby in the front seat of the car with our other two kids in the backseat at 3:30 in the morning,” Sayers said.
Because Waylon shares a birthday with the convenience store, Sayers and her fiancée were gifted with seven years of free coffee.
A 7-Eleven spokesperson said this will help them stay awake on their latest nights or earliest mornings.
7-Eleven will also be giving Waylon and his family a care package filled with 7-Eleven and Slurpee-branded items including onesies, diapers and other newborn essentials.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin judge ruled against the state prison system on Thursday, saying its COVID-19 visitor policy that barred Catholic clergy from meeting with inmates for more than a year violated state law and the state constitution's guarantee of religious freedom.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee filed a lawsuit in 2021 demanding state corrections officials relax their COVID-19 protocols and allow ministers to visit inmates. The policy was in place from March 13, 2020, until June 21, 2021.
The archdiocese alleged that the Department of Corrections' policy prevented clergy from the archdiocese from meeting in-person with inmates to provide spiritual guidance, communion and penance, violating a state law that grants clergy of all faiths weekly visits with prisoners and inmates’ constitutional right to freedom of religion.
Attorneys and DOC employees such as psychologists and social workers were allowed to see inmates under the policy if the visitors followed health and safety protocols such as temperature checks, COVID-19 tests and wearing masks.
Jefferson County Circuit Judge William Hue ruled in favor of the archdiocese, saying the Department of Corrections did not give proper consideration to religious interests in denying clergy access for more than 450 days. He issued an injunction barring the department from reinstituting the policy.
The law requires that the prison system allow clergy into the prisons at least once a week to conduct services, the judge ruled.
Department spokesman John Beard did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Friday.
The conservative law firm the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed the lawsuit.
“This is a good day for religious liberty in Wisconsin," said WILL attorney Anthony LoCoco. "Department of Corrections bureaucrats may not simply disregard the statutory and constitutional rights of Wisconsin’s clergy or relegate those rights to second-class status. This decision will help ensure that officials across state government put the religious rights of Wisconsinites first in the future rather than last.” | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Judge-rules-against-Wisconsin-prisons-over-17307411.php | 2022-07-15T16:04:16Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Judge-rules-against-Wisconsin-prisons-over-17307411.php | false | 20 |
Paul Ryder, bass player and founding member of the Happy Mondays, has died aged 58.
A statement from the band said the Salford-raised musician died on Friday morning.
Alongside his frontman brother Shaun, Paul founded the Happy Mondays in 1980 and was credited with giving the band their signature rolling groove, present on hits such as Step On and Kinky Afro.
The group said on their official Facebook page said: “The Ryder family and Happy Mondays band members are deeply saddened and shocked to say that Paul Ryder passed away this morning.
“A true pioneer and legend. He will be forever missed.
“We thank you for respecting the privacy of all concerned at this time. Long live his funk.”
The original line-up also included drummer Gary Whelan and guitarist Mark Day, and they were later joined by maraca-wielding dancer Bez.
The band later achieved a successful crossover into the musical mainstream with hits from albums such as Pills ‘N’ Thrills And Bellyaches and also earned a reputation as hellraisers.
Synonymous with the “Madchester” music scene, their blend of psychedelia and alternative rock continues to influence other acts.
Oasis and Ride guitarist Andy Bell was among those paying tribute, tweeting: “Really sad news about Paul Ryder, RIP.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/07/15/happy-mondays-star-paul-ryder-dies-aged-58/ | 2022-07-15T16:09:45Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/07/15/happy-mondays-star-paul-ryder-dies-aged-58/ | false | 2 |
Elevation Sushi and Tacos is not, for the most part, a fusion restaurant. Kim Morton, Mike Perez, and their son-in-law John Dexter all moved from the Los Angeles metro to western Maine in the past several years. “The things we really missed were sushi and street tacos,” says Morton, a schoolteacher who used to have her own restaurant. So, when they opened a small place together in Bridgton last summer, they devoted one section of the menu to sushi and another to tacos. There are tuna rolls, salmon, and California rolls. Then, there are steak tacos, chicken tacos, and pork tacos. All the classics from both genres. However, there are also sushi tacos. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2664517937727/louis-c-k-in-portland-me-aug-20-2022-pre-sale-password | 2022-07-15T16:12:55Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2664517937727/louis-c-k-in-portland-me-aug-20-2022-pre-sale-password | true | null |

Jury takes 20 minutes to sentence Texas man to life for sexually abusing girl for years
A Texas man was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday for sexually abusing a child for years at his home in Wise County.
A Wise County jury reached the decision on the sentence against 67-year-old Audie Lee Butler, according to court records.
On Wednesday, jurors in the 271st District Court in Decatur convicted Butler of continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, needing just 20 minutes to deliberate on the verdict to convict him and then just about the same amount of time to sentence him, according to the Wise County Messenger.
The victim, who went by Jane Doe to conceal her identity, was one of three witnesses who testified, the Wise County Messenger reported. Often in tears, she told jurors that Butler abused her over the course of several years when she was younger than 14.
The Wise County Messenger reported that the victim said she spent years trying to convince herself the sexual abuse didn’t happen before realizing when she got older that she needed to report it.
“I knew it did happen, no matter how many times I said that it didn’t,” she told the jury.
The case was filed in the summer of 2020, according to court records.
Prosecutors also played a video interview of Butler in which he admitted the abuse to an investigator with the Wise County District Attorney’s Office, the Messenger reported. | https://news.yahoo.com/jury-takes-20-minutes-sentence-151652294.html | 2022-07-15T16:17:58Z | https://news.yahoo.com/jury-takes-20-minutes-sentence-151652294.html | true | 1 |

Citigroup (C) Surpasses Q2 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
Citigroup (C) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.30 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.67 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.84 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 37.72%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this U.S. bank would post earnings of $1.74 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.02, delivering a surprise of 16.09%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Citigroup
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Citigroup shares have lost about 26.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -20.5%.
What's Next for Citigroup?
While Citigroup has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Citigroup: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.59 on $18.25 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $6.82 on $74.07 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - Major Regional is currently in the bottom 41% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Bank of America (BAC), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2022. The results are expected to be released on July 18.
This nation's second-largest bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.77 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -25.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.2% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
Bank of America's revenues are expected to be $22.97 billion, up 7% from the year-ago quarter.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

It didn't take long for Rep. Mike Flood's voting record in the House of Representatives to become seized as ammunition for Sen. Patty Pansing Brooks in her approaching attempt to unseat Nebraska's newly elected congressman.
A day after being sworn in as Nebraska's 1st District congressman, Flood "ignored the advice of law enforcement and voted against a bill to help people stay safe during an active shooting," Pansing Brooks said.
Flood joined most of his Republican colleagues in voting against a bill designed to help state and local governments set up a warning system during active shooter situations.
The system would be similar to Amber Alert announcements when a child is abducted.
"In this epidemic of mass shootings, it is unimaginable that anyone would oppose legislation to alert people about an active shooter in their vicinity," Pansing Brooks, the Democratic nominee in the upcoming Nov. 8 general election, said.
The House passed the bill on a 260-169 vote, with 43 Republicans supporting the measure.
"Rather than addressing the underlying issues that lead to these awful tragedies, the Democrats would prefer to convince the public that guns are the problem," Flood said. "That's the true intent of this legislation."
Flood said the proposal is redundant since an emergency alert system already exists and it includes alerts regarding active shooters.
Rep. Don Bacon, Nebraska's 2nd District Republican congressman, voted for enactment. Rep. Adrian Smith, the 3rd District GOP congressman, voted no.
Flood defeated Pansing Brooks in a June 28 special election to determine who would serve the remaining six months of former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry's term. Fortenberry resigned from the seat following his conviction on charges that he lied to federal officials about an illegal foreign contribution to his 2016 reelection campaign.
After winning primary elections in May, Flood and Pansing Brooks will meet in a rematch at the Nov. 8 general election to determine who serves the next two-year term beginning in January.

The Nebraska Republican Party fired its chairman Saturday amid GOP turmoil that stemmed partly from the hard-fought primary for governor. The day also included one arrest and a raft of resignations.
Bereuter said it's important Trump never be elected again. "It is clear that he was not qualified to be president in terms of knowledge, temperament, judgment and the lack of a moral compass," he said.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds did not rule out — but threw cold water on — the possibility of Iowa taking advantage of federal incentives for states to pass “red flag” laws that allow groups to petition courts to temporarily remove weapons from people deemed a threat to themselves or others.
"The people will now be in charge of the Republican Party," newly-elected GOP State Chairman Eric Underwood said at a celebration at state party headquarters on Thursday.
Newly elected leaders of Nebraska's Republican Party declared support for GOP primary election nominees and Gov. Pete Ricketts while proclaiming an end to a top-down party leadership approach. | https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/pansing-brooks-attacks-flood-vote-against-active-shooting-alert-bill/article_e53ad880-4120-5ff7-8cd1-931a7023ea76.html | 2022-07-15T16:33:54Z | https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/pansing-brooks-attacks-flood-vote-against-active-shooting-alert-bill/article_e53ad880-4120-5ff7-8cd1-931a7023ea76.html | true | 1 |

Tender Crisp Sugar Cookies
These no-roll sugar cookies are great for the holidays. Children like to shape the cookies into balls and dip them into the sprinkles!
These no-roll sugar cookies are great for the holidays. Children like to shape the cookies into balls and dip them into the sprinkles!
As I write this I am only this recipe's 12th reviewer, which I can only guess is because it has an average rating of a mere 3-1/2 stars. I'm hoping to boost that, as this recipe is simply underrated. I disagree with the few reviewers who found these "tasteless" and/or "cake-like" and if they had to be thrown out I respectfully suggest the baker must have done something wrong. There are a few types of sugar cookies - chewy, soft, firm, light, crispy, tender - and the list goes on. These are light as air, tender and crispy, which cream of tartar always seems to contribute. The flavor is subtle, perfect for embellishing with frosting, decorating sugars, chocolate glazes, cherries, rolling in cinnamon-sugar or whatever else you fancy. Just as good plain, too, when you don't want something overwhelmingly sweet. This was a nice dough to work with, easy to mix up, and I had them in and out of the oven in just minutes. I decorated them for Christmas by rolling them in green and red decorator sugars before flattening them slightly. There is everything to like about this cookie!
Read MoreI am on a quest to find the best sugar cookie recipe. Sadly, this was not what I was looking for. If you like cakey sugar cookies, you might like these. They taste about like the sugar cookies you can buy from Walmart with the frosting on them.

I love sugar cookies and these are the best sugar cookies I have ever made. And No cookie cutters necessary!! You can't go wrong with this recipe.
I am on a quest to find the best sugar cookie recipe. Sadly, this was not what I was looking for. If you like cakey sugar cookies, you might like these. They taste about like the sugar cookies you can buy from Walmart with the frosting on them.
Wow, I couldn’t believe it when I found this recipe. It is almost the exact recipe my mom has made ever since I can remember (her recipe adds 1 tsp more salt). She told me her best friend gave her the recipe 45 years ago. Her recipe even has the same name, Tender Crisp Sugar Cookies. Depending upon how you bake these they turn out differently. I have rolled them out thick with a short cooking time and they turn out very soft and stay soft and are great with icing. I have just used them as a drop cookie, or my mom likes to roll them out thin to make them crispy and then frost or sugar them. My husband likes them when I roll them into balls then press them slightly with a glass and when they are fresh out of the oven I sprinkle them with sugar. I like them with chocolate icing. My crazy son likes them best when I make them with less flour (he calls them sugar cookies made wrong because I accidently left out TWO cups of flour once) they really spread when baking, but turned out chewy and good. This is an all time favorite that can be eaten plain, sugared or iced, dropped, rolled out or rolled into a ball. Love them.
I was about to submit this recipe when I realized it was already here! I changed the scaling/serving amount to 20 though and use 1 cup butter and no shortening. These are the cookies my Grandma used to make. They are fabulous! The only difference in my recipe is "chilling for two hours or overnight and flattening with a glass dipped in powdered sugar before baking." Can't believe anyone wouldn't love these cookies! My entire family does!
I made thesefor my son's 1st grade Valentine's party this past week. This worked just fine. I dipped the cookies in red sugar crystals and 22 first graders, 2 teachers, my 4-year old, and my husband wolfed them down and asked for more. For others who tried the recipe and were disappointed in the taste, I wonder if perhaps they are used to rolled, soft/chewy sugar cookies, or those made with lemon extract. As for the comment that they "taste about like the sugar cookies you can buy from Walmart with the frosting on them," I would have to disagree. This is a basic sugar cookie recipe that tastes great with coffee, cocoa, etc. The only trouble I had was with the dough being a bit soft, but I'm sure that was my fault because I was mixing too vigorously and lost a bit of the flour mixture at one point. I just sprinkled a bit of flour over the mixture, worked it in, and it was fine. Still too soft? Refrigerate for 10 minutes for a more cohesive dough that is still easily shaped. I'll use this recipe again.
Best crsipy style sugar cookie around! Don't need any frosting. Makes a huge batch and freezes well.
I made these cookies at Christmas time.They came out very crisp and had an excellent taste. I cant believe they wouldve gotten any bad reviews. They are similar to a recipe I had years ago and lost from my ex mother in law. I was so thankful to get it again!! These will definitely be made again, especially at Christmas.
I made over 100 of these for my husband's school fundraiser. It was difficult to tell when they were cooked through-the first batch was a little under-done. It took about 17 minutes a batch to get them baked just right. These were not quite as sweet as I hoped they would be, but I'm sure the frosting the students added made up for it.
This recipe has the exact same proportions as "No Roll" & almost identical to "Sugar Cookies V". SCV has a little less flour. Sum it up? If you tried one, you've tried them all. Not a bad cookie, but not a great choice for cutouts. I liked "sugar cookies with buttercream frosting" better.
This a really great sugar cookie, they are rich and crispy and are much lighter than the rolled sugar cookies.
These make a ton of cookies, so be prepared to be baking for a while! I think they are great. I used them to make spiral snowman cookies (you basically roll the dough then roll into a spiral and decorate for snowman) that I plan to finish decorating with a friend and her 3 1/2 yr old daughter. for those, they are a bit crumbly, but as long as they are cold and you roll them well, these cookies work easily enough. They don't have a ton of flavor, true, but they're sugar cookies, which are generally decorated with frosting or sugar or whatever, and I think they are perfect for that. They aren't very sweet at all, so you can go to town wtih decorating, so that's great! They rise well and bake out so allow for some room on the cookie sheet. They are great for what I wanted. Thanks for the recipe!
Easy and tasty.
They are good! I just didn't find any crispness to them - I want to play around with this recipe to see if the size of the cookie had anything to do with the heftiness! These babies were thicker and heavier than I thought they'd be, even with proper creaming, etc. I did use my larger cookie scoop. --Regardless, they are good and a hit with everyone I've shared with. Plain, or even more fantastic with yummy chocolate frosting... Mine looked exactly like the one photo that currently exist for this recipe, just thicker.
Great recipe, made exactly as suggested. I really hate rolling out cookies, so this recipe was for ME! The delicious taste of sugar cookies without the rolling. :) I made them smaller than usual size, and used red and white frosting. They turned out very nice looking and I think they'll make a nice (tasty!) addition to my holiday cookie trays without the fuss of rolling and cutting.
I was a little disappointed in this recipe, only b/c I am on a mission to find a sugar cookie recipe similar to the ones you can find at the store with the colored icing on top. However, if you like a shortbread/sugar cookie...this is the recipe for you!...It was nice a crisp, just like the shortbread cookies you can buy!...:)
I do cutouts with this recipe. Very light and slightly crisp- everyone loves them. I use butter flavored shortening, though. I think that that adds to the flavor. Grrreat recipe. Thanx!!
I tried this recipe and it didn't have any taste. I threw them away.
VERY bland, definitely not one member of my family liked this sugar cookie recipe. Dough wouldn't stay together very well either.
I love these they're so fun, and they taste great. Thank you so much for posting.
I tried these for the first time, very easy to make. Since oven temps vary I tried baking at, 10, 12 and 13 minutes, I would say best baking time is 11 to 12 minutes. The flavor was excellent, however the cookie seemed a little dry to me, but hey it was my first attempt. Made some plane and the others with various sprinkles. Can't say these are my favorite but will certainly try making them again.

As India reported its first case of Monkeypox on Thursday, there are questions relating to insurance coverage of the disease. Whether the disease will get covered under a health insurance policy? Will it get covered under travel insurance? Insurance expert says that it will be covered under your insurance policies provided you have opted for it.
"In the wake of first monkeypox case reported in India, it is important to remember that all infectious diseases, including monkeypox, are covered under basic health insurance policy. If a person is diagnosed thereby hospitalized, then it will be covered under individual health insurance policy,” says Rakesh Jain, CEO of Reliance General Insurance.
The first case is reported in Kerala, where an individual travelling from UAE was found positive for the virus. Kerala Health Minister Veena George said, “A Monkeypox positive case is reported. He is a traveller from UAE. He reached the state on 12th July. He reached Trivandrum airport and all the steps are being taken as per the guidelines issued by WHO and ICMR.”
Does a travel insurance policy cover the disease? “If someone is travelling abroad, then it is imperative to note that some travel policies only cover accidental death and accidental hospitalization. Medical hospitalization is not included in those policies. Customers should opt for the medical expense feature in their travel policies to ensure that all emergency medical costs such as hospitalization, outpatient and cashless hospitalization will be covered during an international trip. Treatments taken for monkeypox during a foreign trip are covered in travel insurance under the Medical Expense feature to the extent of sum insured limits or sub-limits. Co-habitation, nonetheless, is usually not included in the policy cover. It is, therefore, advisable to go through the policy features and exclusions in detail and choose the right add-ons to ensure adequate coverage," Jain added.
As of June 22, a cumulative total of 3, 413 laboratory-confirmed cases have been reported to WHO from different countries. According to the WHO website, the majority of laboratory-confirmed cases (2933/3413; 86%) were reported from the WHO European Region. Other regions reporting cases include: the African Region (73/3413, 2%), Region of the Americas (381/3413, 11%), Eastern Mediterranean Region (15/3413,

As of Thursday, there are 12 jurors seated in the trial of Victor Peña, the man accused of abducting a 23-year-old woman in Boston, the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office said.
Jury selection will continue on Monday, in order to have alternates in place, officials said.
Peña was seen naked and committing a lewd act on a monitor in the courtroom Wednesday during jury selection after being removed from the courtroom Wednesday for disorderly conduct. He was placed in another room where he watched the court proceedings and was streamed into the courtroom.
Potential jurors were excused after Peña appeared on a monitor in the courtroom naked and committing a lewd act.
In January of 2019, there was a three-day hunt for Peña, who was accused of abducting a 23-year-old woman after she went missing after a night out with friends. Police said that they found the woman in his Charlestown apartment after he encountered her outside of Hennesey’s pub in Boston.
A Suffolk County grand jury indicted Peña on one count of kidnapping and 10 counts of aggravated rape, all of which he pleaded not guilty to. He was deemed competent to stand trial but was held without bail after being deemed too dangerous for release.
The trial has been delayed several times, prolonging the court case for the past three years — most recently, in February, when Peña asked for medical release from jail. In September 2021, Peña fired his lawyer after the lawyer reportedly refused to argue that the woman was a prostitute and later fired his public defenders — once again delaying the trial.
On Tuesday, the judge for Peña’s case determined that he was competent to stand trial. The same day, Peña attempted to dismiss his counsel and defend himself — the judge refused both requests, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said.

Check out almost any popular science article about woodpeckers and you'll likely find some mention of why the birds don't seem to suffer concussions, despite energetically drumming away at tree trunks all day with their beaks. Conventional wisdom holds that the structure of the woodpecker's skull and beak acts as a kind of built-in shock absorber, protecting the bird from injury. But a new paper published in the journal Current Biology argues that this is incorrect and that woodpecker heads behave more like stiff hammers than shock absorbers.
“While filming the woodpeckers in zoos, I have witnessed parents explaining to their kids that woodpeckers don’t get headaches because they have shock absorbers built into their head,” said co-author Sam Van Wassenbergh of Universiteit Antwerpen, Belgium. “This myth of shock absorption in woodpeckers is now busted by our findings.”
As for why this particular myth has endured for so long, Van Wassenbergh told Ars, "To us humans, the first thing that comes to our mind when watching an animal violently smashing their head against trees is to wish the animal had some kind of a built-in cushioning to prevent it from getting headaches or concussions. It is logical for us to think of such action in terms of protection and safety, as if it is an accident."
The shock-absorber hypothesis was not completely lacking in scientific merit. (One 2002 study even won an Ig Nobel Prize in 2006. I've written about the topic in the past.) It started with a 1976 Lancet paper by Philip R.A. May et al., proposing the woodpecker as a natural model for investigating the mechanisms of head injury and its prevention. Other studies have shown that woodpeckers can hammer on trees as much as 12,000 times a day during their mating season, an average of between 18 to 22 pecks per second.
That kind of sudden, sharp blow can produce deceleration forces as high as 1,200 g's. A human being will suffer a concussion with a sudden deceleration of 100 g's. A 2006 study proposed that the orientation of the woodpecker's brain within the skull increased the area of contact when pecking, thereby reducing stress on the brain. The birds' small size is also a boon, given those acceleration speeds.
Micro-CT scans have revealed that woodpecker skulls boast thick muscles in the neck, sponge-like bones, and a third inner eyelid to keep the eyeball in place, which scientists assumed would work together to absorb impact and prevent injury from the incessant drumming. One 2011 study found that there is also another springy structure in the back of the skull called a hyloid, which could work in concert with cerebrospinal fluid to further suppress vibrations. Most recently, a 2021 study posited that the bird's jaw apparatus might also act as a cushion during the pecking process.
Enter Van Wassenbergh, who decided to conduct his own research into the topic after being struck by the paradoxical nature of the shock absorber hypothesis. He reasoned that any absorption or dissipation of the head's kinetic energy would actually impair the bird's ability to hammer away incessantly. Since this drumming behavior is so central to the woodpecker's ability to communicate and attract mates, it seemed unlikely that a built-in shock absorber would have evolved via natural selection.
"There was already skepticism in the scientific literature for a long time," Van Wassenbergh said, dating all the way back to May's 1976 paper. "May wrote, 'If the beak absorbed much of its own impact, the unfortunate bird would have to pound even harder.' The notion that the woodpecker head primarily needs to be a functional hammer made sense to me. From reading the literature, it appeared to me that cranial shock absorption has never been confirmed for live birds performing their natural behavior, despite that many sources reported this as a fact. This spurred me into conducting research on this topic." | https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/07/study-woodpeckers-heads-behave-more-like-hammers-than-shock-absorbers/ | 2022-07-15T16:38:47Z | https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/07/study-woodpeckers-heads-behave-more-like-hammers-than-shock-absorbers/ | false | 1 |

On the move AGAIN, Mario? Balotelli has been 'in talks for weeks' with Swiss club Sion, reveals their president... with the controversial Italian striker ready to cut his losses with Turkish side Adana Demirspor
- Mario Balotelli scored 19 goals in 33 games for Adana Demirsport last season
- He hit five in one game in a 7-0 win over Goztepe in the Turkish Super Lig
- The Italian striker is now reportedly 'looking to leave Turkey' after one year
- There has been interest expressed from 'Swiss club Sion and Sevilla'
Former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has reportedly been in talks over a move to Swiss team Sion for 'weeks.'
The Italian is currently one year into a three year deal with Turkish Super Lig side Adana Demirsport. He impressed for them last season, scoring 19 goals in 33 games, including five goals in one outing against Goztepe.
Balotelli has become something of a journeyman striker and represented nine clubs in the past 13 years. His returns are often inconsistent, but as his best he is a creative and powerful forward.
Mario Balotelli has two years left on his contract at Turkish side Adana Demirsport
Sion President Christian Constantin told Blick he had been in talks with the 31-year-old forward 'for weeks.'
He added: 'Today it is impossible for me to make a forecast about the chances of success of the transfer.
'We wanted to remain discreet, but the information apparently leaked in Italy. This is a signal that there is interest on both sides.'
The President heaped praise on the striker, saying: 'If you only talk about talent, Mario had what it takes to win the Ballon d'or'
He scored an impressive 19 goals in 33 games last year, including five in one match
Blick also reported that Balotelli is keen to leave Turkey, and that there has been interest in him from Sevilla.
The Swiss league would be an interesting location for the Italy international. On the one hand, he is not recognised as the force he once was after two years outside of Europe's top five leagues.
He is only 31, though and comes with excellent pedigree after winning the Premier League, Champions League and three Serie A titles.
Balotelli would undoubtedly be an excellent acquisition for Sion and a statement for the Swiss league as a whole, but some may feel the Italian striker should be aiming higher. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11018165/Mario-Balotelli-talks-weeks-Swiss-club-Sion-reveals-president.html | 2022-07-15T16:41:30Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11018165/Mario-Balotelli-talks-weeks-Swiss-club-Sion-reveals-president.html | true | 2 |
Pernell Whitaker’s sons hope to gather support in planned park to honor their late father
The following is an official statement from the family of Pernell Whitaker.
Three years ago to the day, the world lost one of the greatest boxers of our time. July 14, 2019, Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker was tragically struck by an automobile along Northampton Boulevard. A boxer who was so incredibly elusive in the ring had his life abruptly cut short by an unexpected occurrence. Norfolk lost a legend. We lost our dad.
If our father taught us anything in life, though, it was how to take a punch and how to then get back on your feet. Our dad may be gone, but his spirit is very much with us. We read recently that the “spirit” of Norfolk was lost. In fairness that was in reference to a cruise ship, but it could have aptly applied to the rise in violence, lack of development and community leadership that is vital for cities to thrive.
To reinject a sense of community spirit and to honor our late father, we hereby affirm our commitment to developing a public private partnership with the City of Norfolk in the furtherance and development of the Pernell Whitaker Park – a world-class outdoor park in the heart of Norfolk, Virginia that will be dedicated to local icons and designed to cultivate a new generation of Tidewater legends. In the coming days, we will provide greater details and information regarding this effort, including the introduction of a dynamic Advisory Board that will work closely with us in bringing this dream to light.
In closing, it is worth recalling a 1985 HBO documentary, in which Pernell Whitaker reflected on Norfolk and offered the following portrayal of his hometown: “It’s rough now and it was rough back then, but I beat it. You can beat the street … I still feel like I am part of this project. I will always feel like I am part of this project because this is what I call home. This is real. This is real life. We are all so close together that we have to love each other.

Quick help for suicidal thoughts and other mental health emergencies may soon be as easy as 9-8-8.
The United States’ first nationwide three-digit mental health crisis hotline goes live on Saturday. It’s designed to be as easy to remember and use as 911, but instead of a dispatcher sending police, firefighters or paramedics, 988 will connect callers with trained mental health counselors.
The federal government has provided over $280 million to help states create systems that will do much more, including mobile mental health crisis teams that can be sent to people’s homes and emergency mental health centers, similar to urgent care clinics that treat physical aches and pains.
“This is one of the most exciting things that has happened” in mental health care, said Dr. Brian Hepburn, a psychiatrist who heads the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors.
Hepburn cautions that when 988 kicks off, it will not be like “the flick of a switch. It’s going to take a number of years in order for us to be able to reach everybody across the country."
Some states already have comprehensive mental health crisis systems, but others have a long way to go. And widespread shortages of mental health specialists are expected to slow their ability to expand services.
A RAND Corp. survey published last month found that fewer than half of state or regional public health officials were confident about being ready for 988, which is expected to generate an influx of calls.
Nearly 60% said call-center staffers had specialized suicide prevention training; half said they had mobile crisis response teams available 24/7 with licensed counselors; and fewer than one-third had urgent mental-health care units.
The 988 system will build on the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, an existing network of over 200 crisis centers nationwide staffed by counselors who answer millions of calls each year — about 2.4 million in 2020. Calls to the old lifeline, 1-800-273-8255, will still go through even with 988 in place.
“If we can get 988 to work like 911 … lives will be saved,’’ said Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.
Dispatching paramedics for heart attacks and police for crimes makes sense — but not for psychiatric emergencies, mental health advocates say. Calls to 911 for those crises often lead to violent law enforcement encounters and trips to jail or crowded emergency rooms where suicidal people can wait days for treatment.
The 988 system “is a real opportunity to do things right," said Hannah Wesolowski of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Sustained funding will be needed. According to the National Academy of State Health Policy, four states have enacted laws to impose telecommunications fees to support 988 and many others are working on the issue.
A desperate call to a Utah state senator in 2013 helped spark the idea of a three-digit mental health crisis line.
Sen. Daniel Thatcher says a good friend sought his help after taking his suicidal son to an emergency room, only to be told by a doctor to come back if the boy hurt himself.
Thatcher has battled depression and at 17, he also considered suicide. He knew that despondent people in crisis may lack the wherewithal to seek out help or to remember the 10-digit national suicide lifeline number.
Thatcher found that many of Utah’s in-state crisis lines went straight to police dispatchers or voicemail. He wondered why there was no 911 service for mental health, and the idea got national attention after he mentioned it to longtime Sen. Orrin Hatch.
In 2020, Congress passed the bill designating the 3-digit crisis number and then-President Donald Trump signed it into law.
Thatcher’s mother was a nurse and knew where to get him help. He says 988 has the potential to make it that easy for others.
“If you get help, you live. It really is that simple,’’ Thatcher said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA astronauts will go back to riding Russian rockets under an agreement announced Friday, and Russian cosmonauts will catch lifts to the International Space Station with SpaceX beginning this fall.
The agreement ensures that the space station will always have at least one American and Russian on board to keep both sides of the orbiting outpost running smoothly, according to NASA and Russian officials. The swap had long been in the works and was finalized despite tensions over Moscow’s war in Ukraine, a sign of continuing Russia-U.S. cooperation in space.
U.S. astronaut Frank Rubio will launch to the space station from Kazakhstan with two Russians in September. That same month, Russian cosmonaut, Anna Kikina, will join two Americans and one Japanese aboard a SpaceX rocket flying from Florida. Another crew swap will occur next spring.

No money will exchange hands under the agreement, according to NASA.
NASA astronauts routinely launched on Russian Soyuz rockets — for tens of millions of dollars apiece — until SpaceX started flying station crews from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in 2020. Russian cosmonauts rode to the space station on NASA's shuttles back in the early 2000s. Before that, during the 1990s, astronauts and cosmonauts took turns flying on each other's spacecraft to and from Russia's Mir station.
Friday’s news came just hours after the blustery chief of the Russian space agency, Dmitry Rogozin, was replaced by President Vladimir Putin, although the move did not appear to have any connection to the crew swap. Rogozin was expected to be given a new post.
NASA said the agreement will “ensure continued safe operations” of the space station and protect those living on board. Seven people are up there right now: three Americans and one Italian who flew up with SpaceX and three Russians who arrived in a Soyuz.

Whether presenting a closing argument to a jury as a lawyer or singing on stage as a professional musician, Valerie Giglio of Stoneham, Massachusetts, knows how to work a crowd.
"You're performing either way," she said.
When she was 42, she lost the ability to do both. All because of a sudden head turn.
The motion caused a sharp pain in her neck that persisted for several days. It bothered Giglio enough that she went to the hospital. Doctors told her it was probably a pulled muscle and sent her on her way.
The next morning, she felt dizzy and had double vision; the world was spinning. Her husband called 911. The ambulance transported her to the same local hospital she had just visited.
Still unable to definitively diagnose the cause of her symptoms, doctors transferred her to another hospital. Testing revealed a stroke caused by bleeding in her brain. Known as a hemorrhagic stroke, it was caused by a weakened vessel that ruptured. About 13% of strokes are caused by such hemorrhages. Her delayed diagnosis likely happened because strokes aren't expected among people her age and with her overall health.
"About one out of every six to seven strokes actually affects young people, but this isn't the sort of fact that is widely recognized, even by physicians," said Dr. Aneesh Singhal, a neurologist who treated her that night. "As a result, there's often a missed opportunity to give lifesaving treatments."
The longer it takes to treat the problem, the more time there is for physical problems to set in. Giglio couldn't swallow for a week. Speaking clearly was difficult, and singing was impossible. Her left side was paralyzed.
"It was like somebody had taken a pen and made a line right down the middle of my body. I was robbed of almost everything," she said. "But luckily, I had my mind."
Giglio spent a week in the hospital followed by two months at an inpatient rehabilitation facility. The magnitude of her disability became clear when during a music therapy class she struggled to bang on a cup as if it were a drum.
"I cried my eyes out," she said.
But she improved week by week. Walking with a cane was one of her first big milestones. Walking without one was an even bigger one. And simply opening her left hand felt like a major victory.
"I wanted my life back, and I went the extra mile," she said. "I did everything they told me to do and more."
Determined to regain her singing voice, Giglio also started working with a voice coach, relearning how to breathe properly and practicing one note at a time. "I had no tone, no vibrato, nothing that would make me a professional singer," she said.
The stroke occurred in 2014. By 2016, she felt confident enough to audition for the Berklee College of Music in Boston as a vocal principal. They offered her admission.
"That felt triumphant," she said.
It's one of Giglio's many accomplishments in the years since her stroke.
She's published a book about her stroke journey and she's advocated for legislation to improve critical care for stroke patients. Inspired by her classes at Berklee, she founded her own music publishing company to produce her own songs, a fusion of old-timey classics and electronic dance music called electro-swing.
Earlier this year, at the invitation of the American Heart Association, she performed the national anthem at a Boston Bruins NHL game. Televised to millions, it was by far her largest audience.
"It was great hearing the audience cheer when I made those high notes," she said. "Hopefully I can shatter some stereotypes about what's possible."

A June 8 Supreme Court decision involving First Amendment rights has trickled down to stymie a Native student newspaper editor’s lawsuit against the ousted president of Haskell Indian Nations University.
The ruling in Egbert v. Boule declined to allow for damages claims against federal officials for retaliation under the First Amendment, Katlyn Patton, a staff attorney for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), told Native News Online.
“At this stage, Congress would need to act to create that remedy,” Patton said.
The case impacts issues of damage claims when a federal official violates someones rights.
Haskell, located in Lawrence, Kansas, has about 1,000 students, all of whom are members of federally recognized tribes, and is operated by the federal government. Ronald Graham, then-president of the university, was a federal employee, Patton said. Five days after the Supreme Court’s Egbert v. Boule decision, former student newspaper editor Jared Nally’s appeal demanding money damages from Graham was withdrawn in response to the decision.
“It's something to pay attention to as federally operated schools, whether it’s Southwestern Indian Polytechnic [Institute], or Haskell Indian Nations University, that essentially there is no legal remedy that exists,” when a federal official violates a student’s First Amendment rights, Nally told Native News Online.
The Bureau of Indian Education operates two postsecondary schools and 53 elementary and secondary schools.
In October 2020, Graham sent Nally a directive with a series of demands that restricted his ability to carry out typical work as a student journalist. The directive included orders to not to “attack any student, faculty, or staff member with letters or in public;” record anyone at Haskell without permission; or make “demands of any government agency” or person at Haskell while representing the newspaper. Kansas allows people to record a call with the consent of one person in the conversation.
Prior to May 2020, Haskell policy had required students’ expression to be consistent with the university’s “CIRCLE values” of “communication, integrity, respect, collaboration, leadership, and excellence.” Nally’s lawsuit said the policy valued subjective values that were up to an administrator’s interpretation over students’ free speech.
The lawsuit also alleged that Haskell retaliated against the newspaper, The Indian Leader, by withholding $10,000 of the newspaper’s expected funds, refusing to recognize the student organization, and enacting a policy that removed its chosen faculty advisor.
The directive was rescinded after 90 days, in part due to an “‘administrative mishap,’” according to Nally’s lawsuit, which was filed in March 2021.
In May 2021, Graham was removed from his position by the Bureau of Indian Education after an internal investigation found that he was stifling the free speech rights of students and faculty, Native News Online reported.
In February, most of Nally’s lawsuit was settled by a consent decree. Haskell agreed that it would not issue a similar directive, or reinstate its campus expression policy or reinstate “any substantially similar policy that restricts student expression to that which is consistent with the CIRCLE values.” It also agreed to provide the newspaper with a way to independently verify a shortage of funds, FIRE said.
The money damages claim was dismissed because people can’t claim damages for retaliation by federal officials that violates their First Amendment rights under Bivens v. Six Unknown Fed. Narcotics Agents, a 1971 Supreme Court case that played a key role in Egbert v. Boule.
The foundation said that it appealed the dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Denver. On June 13, it withdrew the appeal after the Supreme Court’s decision in Egbert v. Boule, which did not allow for damages claims under Bivens against federal officials who retaliate in violation of the First Amendment.
‘If a deterrent had existed’
The Court’s 6-3 decision in Egbert v. Boule centers on alleged violations of the First Amendment for unlawful retaliation and the Fourth Amendment for excessive use of force by a U.S. Border Patrol agent. The Court denied both of these claims, and while the Court’s three liberal justices partially dissented from the ruling, they concurred with the judgment rejecting Boule’s First Amendment claim.
According to the majority opinion delivered by Justice Clarence Thomas, Egbert had approached Boule and a guest at his bed-and-breakfast to check the guest’s immigration status. Federal agents had “‘on numerous occasions’” seen people cross the border and enter the inn, and had seized shipments of narcotics from the inn. According to Boule, during the encounter, Egbert threw him against the SUV and then against the ground, the opinion said.
Boule reported Egbert to his superiors and filed an administrative claim, according to the opinion. According to Boule, Egbert reported his “SMUGLER” license plate for referencing illegal conduct and prompted an audit of his tax returns in retaliation, the opinion said.
The Court considered Boule’s request for damages for Egbert’s alleged violations of the First and Fourth Amendments under Bivens. Thomas wrote that in Bivens, the Court held that it could enable people to receive damages when federal officials violate their Fourth Amendment rights. They later extended Bivens to Fifth and Eighth Amendment cases, but never the First Amendment.
According to the Court’s opinion, the Court previously found recognizing a cause of action under Bivens to be a “disfavored judicial activity” and cited potentially infringing on Congress’s authority as a reason to avoid it.
The opinion said that “recognizing any new Bivens action ‘entails substantial social costs,’” including the risk that fear of paying damages and facing lawsuits will harm officials’ ability to do their jobs.
“Extending Bivens to alleged First Amendment violations would pose an acute risk of increasing such costs,” the opinion says.
Nally told Native News Online that for him, his lawsuit against Graham was about deterring efforts to abridge students’ freedom of speech, and holding a federal official liable.
“What was done was done, and they can’t retroactively go back and change anything,” said Nally (Miami Tribe of Oklahoma). “And that’s why there are options for remedies which are given in the amount of damages to First Amendment cases, if you look at the state level… I think that if a deterrent had existed, there may have been a few more steps before there was a decision to send that directive out to me.”

Inside Ivana Trump’s life before Donald from young ski champion to glamorous model after parents reveal early ambition
IVANA Trump became a national name as Donald Trump's first wife but she had forged her own successful career before she ever met the young real-estate mogul.
Starting with her champion ski career, Ivana Trump was ambitious from the beginning, her mother revealed, carrying this with her as she built a life as a glamorous model.
Ivana was born in Zlin, a small city in then-communist Czechoslovakia, which was occupied by the Soviet Union.
Donald's former wife came from humble beginnings.
Her mother Marie Zelnickova was a telephone operator and her father Milos Zelnicek was an electrical engineer.
Growing up in a communist country, Ivana dreamed of a better life - one not filled with rationed meat or handmade clothes but with cocktails and couture.
Ivana's became a great skier starting at age 4, which showed a glimmer of hope for a more lavish life.
Her ski career was carried by her father's encouragement and her own ambition for the sport.
Ivana eventually made the junior national ski team, which gave her access to travel away from Czechoslovakia.
The skier would visit Italy and Austria and yearn for the finer things.
Most read in The US Sun
Her mother, Marie, who is still alive and in her 90s, recalled that Ivana "didn't want to stay" in Czechoslovakia, reported the BBC.
"She was always ambitious, and her father treated her like a boy," Marie said, according to Newsweek.
Ivana went on to marry her first husband, Alfred Winklmayr, an Austrian skier in 1971 when she was only 22 years old.
This "Cold War marriage," as Ivana's lawyer defined it, allowed her to travel with an Austrian passport and finally leave her soviet birth nation without having "defected" to another country.
She then moved to Canada where she worked as a ski instructor while learning English and starting her modeling career.
Ivana kicked off her glamorous lifestyle by modeling for the 1976 Winter Olympics.
This would be the year that she met her second husband, Donald Trump.
Ivana met the emerging real estate typhoon at a reception in New York City when he was only 29 years old.
They married the following year and the couple quickly became two top socialites in Manhattan, having three kids, Ivanka, Don Jr, and Eric.
Married for 15 years, it ended in a messy divorce in 1992 - and Ivana winning a $14million settlement.
However, the pair reconciled in later years with Ivana even claiming she was the real First Lady instead of Melania.
Donald led the tributes to his first wife as he announced her sudden death aged 73 on Thursday.
She was reportedly found at the bottom of the stairs in her New York City apartment and had suffered a cardiac arrest.
Daughter Ivanka shared sweet pictures of her mom skiing with her when she was a child in a heartwarming throwback to her early days. | https://www.the-sun.com/news/5784609/ivana-trump-young-life-parents-before-donald-skier-model/ | 2022-07-15T17:06:37Z | https://www.the-sun.com/news/5784609/ivana-trump-young-life-parents-before-donald-skier-model/ | true | 2 |
Sven Botman impresses on Newcastle debut but boss Eddie Howe will be in rush to complete striker transfers
GOALS from midfield are priceless - but Newcastle need reinforcements up front sharpish if they are to smash their way into Europe.
Boss Eddie Howe and new transfer guru both know it, as do the fans hoping for the season of a lifetime.
Out in Austria, at the foot of the Austrian Alps, midfielders Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes scored to see off German third tier side 1860 Munich 3-0.
Sven Botman made a composed debut after his £35million move from Lille as a second-half sub.
And while it was a decent workout against limited opposition, the lack of firepower is becoming ever more evident.
Callum Wilson guarantees goals but has struggled with injuries on Tyneside while target man Chris Wood scored just two in 17 games last season.

On the wings, Allan Saint-Maximin is magical at his best on the left yet they need more than Ryan Fraser, Jacob Murphy and Miguel Almiron on the right to compete with the big boys.
Howe has been busy beefing up his back five with Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Dan Burn and Matt Targett.
Bruno Guimaraes adds star quality in midfield.
However, of the £150m splashed since the Saudi takeover last October, only £12m - on Chris Wood - has been spent on an attacker.

Hefty asking prices have put them off targets like Bayer Leverkusen flyer Moussa Diaby and Real Sociedad hot shot Alexander Isak recently.
But with the new season just three weeks away, a new striker and winger are required so time really is of the essence if this is to prove a transformative campaign.
The travelling Toon Army hoping to run the rule over 6ft 5in Botman in the idyllic setting just outside Saalfelden had to wait.
But fellow newbie Nick Pope soon drew chants of ‘England’s number one’ when the former Burnley stopper kept Newcastle in it with a flying save to his left from a free kick.
And despite looking a cut above the German minnows early on, it was a stuttering first half.
Hot prospect Elliot Anderson drifted in and out, livewire Saint-Maximin struggled to sparkle and Wilson was left isolated up top.
1860 caused trouble from set-pieces at the other end, leaving it a far from ideal 45 minutes in their first public friendly.
Botman was the only change at the break, replacing skipper Jamaal Lascelles, and the Tynesiders were ahead soon after when Willock lashed into the roof of the net.
Sub Longstaff’s classy piledriver across goal doubled then doubled the lead before Bruno made it 3-0 with a tap in. | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/5785957/sven-botman-debut-newcastle-1860-munich-friendly/ | 2022-07-15T17:07:14Z | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/5785957/sven-botman-debut-newcastle-1860-munich-friendly/ | true | 4 |
(The Hill) – The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack scrambled to add new testimony from White House counsel Pat Cipollone to its latest hearing on Tuesday, and in the process bumped aside evidence about former President Trump’s ties to violent extremist groups.
Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) acknowledged the shift on Wednesday, saying the panel wanted to highlight testimony from a hard-won witness after Cipollone sat down for a formal deposition last Friday under subpoena. Left on the cutting room floor was evidence tying some of Trump’s closest allies to some of the prominent right-wing groups on the front lines of the Capitol insurrection.
“It was in the original script, but we pulled some back just because of the timing,” Thompson said in response to a question from The Hill about Trump world ties to groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers.
“The Cipollone deposition was important. And obviously, it’s just a choice we had to make.”
Cipollone delivered a damaging assessment of Trump’s final weeks in office, confirming that he and other legal advisors had determined Trump had lost the election, exhausted his avenues to contest the result and should have conceded defeat instead of pressing his vice president, Mike Pence, to block the electoral count.
But the last-minute adjustment to feature Cipollone came at a cost, leaving unexplored some of the very ties the committee had previously revealed — and promised to explore in greater depth — between Trump and the extremists.
Left unmentioned, for instance, was a Jan. 5 request from Trump to have chief of staff Mark Meadows contact two informal advisors, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, who both used extremist groups as security details.
The panel also excluded any mention of the so-called “war room” at the Willard Hotel near the White House, where leading Trump allies — including his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani — had huddled to devise strategy ahead of Jan. 6. At least one member of an extremist group, the 1st Amendment Praetorian, was reportedly among them.
Yet the extremist groups played a relatively minor role in Tuesday’s hearing, when the panel leaned on Cipollone’s fresh testimony to demonstrate a broader idea: that Trump drove the effort to overturn the election in defiance of his own White House counsel.
To advance that idea, the select committee cobbled together seemingly disparate themes: an “unhinged” meeting at the White House; secretive plans to make Trump’s call to march to the Capitol appear unexpected; and analysis of a tweet that mobilized extremist groups to show up armed in Washington on Jan. 6.
But the undercurrent was the committee’s push to show Trump’s willing engagement each step of the way, even as they fell short of expectations that they might establish a more direct link between the White House and violent extremists. Some outside legal experts noticed the void.
“I think the committee advanced the ball in terms of providing some new information, but it’s very clear that there are gaps in what their investigation has found with regard to potential conspiracy or Trump’s direct links to the militia groups and other extremists,” said Ryan Goodman, co-director of the Reiss Center on Law and Security at the New York University School of Law.
Over the course of the three-hour hearing, the panel sought to solidify Trump’s role, with Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) pushing back on any arguments that Trump was simply led astray by conspiratorial-minded advisors.
“The strategy is to blame people his advisers called ‘the crazies’ for what Donald Trump did,” Cheney said in her opening remarks.
“This, of course, is nonsense. President Trump is a 76-year-old man, he is not an impressionable child. Just like everyone else in our country, he is responsible for his own actions and his own choices.”
To make the case, the committee displayed a draft tweet revealing that Trump had planned days in advance to call on his supporters to march from a rally at the Ellipse, near the White House, to the Capitol, where Congress would be gathered to certify Joe Biden’s victory. The draft was marked “President has seen.”
That was paired with a text from Jan. 6 rally organizer Kylie Kremer stressing the need to be secretive about Trump’s plans to march to the Capitol since he would try to make the call “unexpectedly.” How Kremer knew in advance was not explored.
Trump also welcomed meetings with fringe advisors, including Flynn and Sidney Powell, over objections from his White House lawyers. (Powell joked that Cippolone “set a new land speed record” rushing to one Oval Office meeting with the group).
And it was Trump, not his speechwriters, who ignored the advice of West Wing aides to insist on attacking Pence during the Ellipse rally — something he did eight times during that speech.
But the committee chose not to build upon its previously teased evidence about Meadows’s call to Stone and Flynn, and never once mentioned the Willard Hotel.
The new evidence provided on Tuesday showed how Trump’s tweet on Dec. 19, when he called for a “wild” protest on Jan. 6, had energized extremist groups around the country, some of them interpreting the message as a call to arms. The committee also revealed evidence of coordination between Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, showing a Facebook post from Florida Oath Keepers chapter leader Kelly Meggs talking about the two groups joining forces with another group, the Three Percenters.
“This week I have organized an alliance,” he wrote. “We have decided to work together to shut this shit down.”
Goodman said it was strange to omit the Meadows call and the hotel.
“I think the fact that the Willard didn’t come up as a nucleus of activity, in which there was a significant overlap between some of the militia groups and Trump’s innermost circle, was unusual, especially because the committee has identified the Willard Hotel as potentially significant in their subpoenas,” he said.
Other committee members echoed Thompson, who said the exclusion was a matter of “bandwidth.”
“There’s only so much time in these hearings. There’s a lot of good stuff. And there was some great stuff that got left off the cutting room floor that hopefully will be released,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), one of the committee’s nine members, said Wednesday.
“As with all the hearings, we’re limited in how much we can cover in a discrete period of time. And that’s why our report will ultimately be so important,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told The Hill.
Goodman argued that the committee succeeded in further demonstrating Trump’s responsibility for the events of Jan. 6, saying it’s clear the former president “made the situation even more incendiary.”
“Even though the committee did not provide very strong evidence of Trump’s direct legal responsibility for the acts of the militias, the hearings certainly provided very strong evidence of Trump’s personal culpability,” he said.
“Without his actions, it’s very apparent that these events would not have occurred.” | https://www.mystateline.com/news/jan-6-panel-changed-script-for-star-witness-at-a-steep-cost/ | 2022-07-15T17:07:52Z | https://www.mystateline.com/news/jan-6-panel-changed-script-for-star-witness-at-a-steep-cost/ | true | 24 |

Met Police officers deny beating man after stop
- Published
Two Met Police officers have pleaded not guilty to assaulting a man after stopping him in north-west London.
Sgt Emily Joshi, 30, of Watford, and PC Ozan Yelken, 32, of Waltham Abbey, are accused of assaulting Emmanuel Ugborokefe by beating him in Hendon on 28 December last year.
The pair appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.
They were granted unconditional bail and a provisional trial date was set for 29 September.
During the hearing, in front of a packed public gallery, Sgt Joshi and PC Yelken spoke only to confirm their names and addresses, and enter their pleas.
The charges follow a complaint to the Met in May that "excessive force" had been used against Mr Ugborokefe. The following month the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) passed a file of evidence to prosecutors, which authorised the charges.
The Met previously said the officers had been placed on restricted duties and misconduct proceedings "will be considered" after the court case.

For the first time in history, a red weather alert for extreme heat has been issued for a majority of England over the course of this weekend, going into the beginning of next week.
Liverpudlians have already been catching the rays during the ongoing heatwave, which started on Thursday, 7 July 2022.

This cuffing period, it is time for you to look at the privacy of dating apps
The months of October through February are exactly just just exactly what some news outlets are calling season that is“cuffing” an interval whenever individuals reportedly experience greater fascination with intimate relationships. In 2020—likely as a result of the pandemic—dating that is COVID-19 have actually reported also greater online engagement than in past years. Whether driven by the colder weather, social distancing, or vacation nature, there isn’t any question that a substantial element of this year’s “cuffing season” will require spot on smartphone apps—and U.S. privacy legislation should be willing to carry on with.
A Tinder-box situation: the privacy risks of online dating sites
Also ahead of the pandemic, the portion of U.S. grownups whom meet individuals online has significantly increased in present years—and a lot of this development could be related to the rise of smartphone dating apps like Tinder, Grindr, OKCupid, Hinge, and Bumble. In line with the Pew Research Center, around 30% of United states grownups had tried internet dating in 2019—including 52% of the who’d never ever been married—compared to simply 13per cent in 2013. A 2017 Stanford study also discovered that 39% of United states heterosexual couples had met online—a more commonly-cited way than conventional options such as for instance introduction by way of an acquaintance that is mutual.

The number of users on dating apps exploded after the outbreak of COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdowns. Match Group, the moms and dad business which controls 60percent for the app that is dating, reported a 15% boost in brand brand brand new customers throughout the 2nd quarter of 2020—with a record-breaking 3 billion Tinder swipes, or initial interactions along with other users, the afternoon of March 29. From March to May 2020, OKCupid saw a 700% escalation in times and Bumble experienced a 70% increase in movie calls.
Inspite of the expanded possibilities and accessibility that dating apps provide within a pandemic, they even gather a huge level of physically recognizable information. A lot of these details may be connected back again to the user that is original such as for example title, pictures, current email address, cell phone number, or age—especially whenever combined or aggregated with other information click this. Some, such as for example exact geolocation or swipe history, are details that users can be unaware are collected, saved, or provided outside of the context for the dating application. Grindr, an LGBTQ+ dating app, even enables users to talk about their HIV status and a lot of present screening date.
The privacy that is potential are specially salient once we look at the demographics of people that use dating apps. While 30% of U.S. grownups had tried internet dating in 2019, that portion rises to 55% for LGBTQ+ grownups and 48% for folks ages 18 to 29. Since dating sites and apps gather, procedure, and share data from a higher portion of the people, they might keep disproportionate aftereffects of any security or privacy breaches. Such breaches could bring concrete effects, such as for example blackmail, doxing, monetary loss, identification theft, psychological or reputational harm, revenge porn, stalking, or more—especially regarding delicate content such as for example explicit pictures or orientation that is sexual.
For instance, in 2018, Grindr acknowledged it had provided users’ third-party companies to HIV status and included a safety vulnerability that may leak users’ areas. And, in January 2020, the consumer that is norwegian released a study discovering that Grindr had been presently sharing individual tracking information, accurate geolocation, and intimate orientation with outside marketers—prompting, to some extent, a residence Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy research. These privacy issues became therefore significant that, in March 2020, Grindr’s Chinese owners acquiesced to sell to a U.S. business after stress from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the us (CFIUS).
Dating apps and privacy policies: perhaps maybe not yet a Match
In the usa, there’s absolutely no uniform, comprehensive legislation that dictates exactly how all companies—including dating sites or apps—may gather, procedure, share, and shop the personal information of users. Rather, you can find lots of sector-specific or restricted federal and state laws—and just 50 % of states have actually enacted guidelines that need private organizations to simply just just take at the very least some information safety measures. Up to now, Ca could be the state that is only provide residents a appropriate directly to access and delete any private information held by organizations. Finally, the possible lack of a national privacy standard actually leaves numerous online daters with insufficient defenses and produces regulatory doubt when it comes to dating apps and web sites on their own.
The agency’s authority is largely limited while the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the nation’s primary enforcer for data protection violations. It mainly brings privacy situations under area 5 of this FTC Act, which forbids businesses from engaging in “unfair or misleading functions or techniques” such as for instance violating their particular privacy policies, false marketing, or failing woefully to offer reasonable cybersecurity requirements. Under this statute, the FTC has given complaints against Ashley Madison and Match Group.
The FTC’s increased exposure of transparency enables a method (commonly called “notice-and-choice”) that departs dating apps mainly free setting their privacy policies. And though some tend to be more egregious than the others ( e.g., Bumble’s online privacy policy openly declares “We think our Bumblers are awesome, and we wish you to talk about exactly exactly exactly exactly just how awesome you might be using the world”), organizations frequently need users to click “I consent” to be able to make use of a site. With a higher degree of consolidation into the dating application industry, companies could have few competitive incentives to voluntarily enhance the information privacy and safety of the solutions.
Also, the range of information that dating apps hold introduces questions of perhaps the U.S. federal federal federal federal government may legitimately access information that is such likely cause. The Supreme Court has historically assigned privacy defenses from federal federal federal government interference to family life, closeness, and also the house. In Lawrence v. Texas (2003), the Supreme Court invalidated a Texas “sodomy law,” recognizing that the Constitution provides people “the straight to elect to enter upon relationships when you look at the confines of these houses and their very own lives that are private nevertheless retain their dignity.” The Court cited Roe v. Wade (1973) and Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), two landmark instances that respected a“right that is constitutional privacy” regarding abortion and birth prevention, correspondingly.
Nevertheless, its uncertain if any future Court decisions will use these constitutional defenses up to a frontier that is new of websites or apps—or whether U.S. police force may request such information from organizations with no warrant. For a long time, the Supreme Court has held beneath the “third-party doctrine” that people would not have a “reasonable expectation of privacy” into the information which they elect to share with other people. Yet, in addition it has recognized that technology, including mobile phones, has considerably increased the feasible range of surveillance and information collection—an enhance which could need a change within the interpretation of legislation. | http://www.theasian.asia/archives/140643 | 2022-07-15T17:12:37Z | http://www.theasian.asia/archives/140643 | true | 1 |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man has been arrested in Texas in connection with slayings of four women decades ago in Southern California, police said.
Billy Ray Richardson, 76, was arrested Thursday by detectives from the Los Angeles and suburban Inglewood police departments with the assistance of Fort Worth, Texas, police.
A Los Angeles police statement said Richardson was charged by LA County prosecutors with four counts of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of multiple murder and murder in the commission of rape.
The statement said investigative and forensic work over the decades linked Richardson to the 1980 killings of Beverly Cruse, Debra Cruse and Kari Lenander in Los Angeles and the 1995 slaying of Trina Wilson in Inglewood.
It was not immediately known if Richardson had an attorney to comment on his behalf. He was in custody in Texas on Thursday awaiting extradition to Los Angeles, police said. | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Texas-man-held-in-4-California-killings-17307676.php | 2022-07-15T17:13:37Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/Texas-man-held-in-4-California-killings-17307676.php | false | null |
Peach Cake I
Love those peaches!
Love those peaches!
After tackling the mathematical dilemma of measuring 2/3C of butter out of 2 1/2C sticks, I needed a drink. So, based on the other reviews, I used the peach juice to make a margerita. The cake didn't miss it a bit. It turned out wonderful.

I've made this recipe several times - always with fresh fruit and never adding the extra juice. Everyone loves it!! It doesn't hold it's shape very well, but with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, it just can't be beat - especially when it's still warm. It works equally well with peaches, apples, blueberries and raspberries.
I selected this recipe for its simplicity and because I love peaches. Unfortunately, I've baked three cakes and they have not turned out well. Can anyone tell me why it turns out so dense and wet on the bottom and why it falls at the end? Thanks!
Don't expect this to be a regular cake-cake. This is more like a sticky, gooey, absolutely yummy peach cobbler with a crunchy top. I used half white sugar and half brown sugar, which was so-o-o good, added a teaspoon of cinnamon, and used half white flour, half whole wheat. I did leave out just a bit of the syrupy juice (maybe 1/8 cup). We loved this cake-cobbler concoction!
I think I must have really messed up. I made this cake and it turned out too juicey. Maybe I added too much peach juice?????
I followed this recipe except I used 2 large peaches instead of canned peaches. It didn't yield much juice but the results were just right! This cake was excellent and yep, I love peaches!
I've already had to double this recipe and am about to have to quadruple it. Yep, it's THAT popular in the Dyes household. My husband and all the kids - big, little, and even four-legged can't get enough. This is definitely my most-requested dessert, and is also one of the easiest to make.
can someone advise me as to what I've done wrong. Or is this cake suppose to be gooey. The entire bottom of the cake was nothing but goo. Did I use to much of the peach juice. The recipe just says to add the juice from a 15oz can of peaches, thats what I did. Could someone let me know. Bernice
I was surprised at how quick and easy this recipe was to put together. The end result was very moist and lots of that peach flavor.
Delicious! The only thing I've had trouble with is that it doesn't keep its shape when you serve it, as I expected a cake to do. But it tastes great, especially warm with a little whipped cream and cinnamon over the top. It's very easy too -- perfect for my unexpected company this past weekend! Thanks, Jenny!
I substituted the peaches in this recipe for pineapple chunks, added some nutmeg and topped it with a lemon pineapple glaze and it was amazing! It didn't need 50 mins though, i only kept it in for barely 40 and it was great! Thanks for the recipe
This was great. I accidentally forgot the milk and it turned out sort of like peach cobbler. It was wonderful. I look forward to trying it with the milk next time.
I tried this recipe because I had a bunch of peaches I needed to use up. I used fresh peaches and omitted the juice. It turned out great. It was a winner with my family.
Very simple, tasty, and quick to make.
This was a great dessert. I think I've made a similar recipe once or twice before. This is really a lot more like a cobbler than a "cake". I made it exactly as written, except that I baked it for a couple more minutes (52 in all) in order to get it browned enough on top. It's light-textured and rich, and one of the minority of dishes that I'm tempted to wolf down in one sitting (but I made it last for 4 nights in all, and it reheated in the microwave just fine). If I might quibble, I'd say it needs a little less butter and a little more peaches. Given that, this might not quite be the best recipe of its type. But it's so easy to make, and so tasty, that it's well worth recommending.
This is a great way to use fresh peaches. a light summer dessert. and the kids enjoyed it.
Very tasty cake but huge negligence on specifications on the recipe. Alot of time was wasted due to several failed attempts to bake the cake, very vague instructions such as 'mix well' where it meant to scrape and fold the mixture and not throw everything into mix as was describe by jenny.
Simple and delicious! I served it with a dollop of whipped topping, but some vanilla ice cream would be even better. Next time I may add a bit of almond extract to the batter. Thanks, Jenny!
Love this peach cake, simple and great tasting. my husband and I just loved it.
This fast and simple cake is tasty warm or cold. I used a 16oz bag of thawed, frozen peaches instead of canned. The baking time was exactly right for me and I had no issue with the cake not holding its shape. I topped it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and peachy simple syrup. For the syrup I used 1 cup fresh peach puree, 1 cup white sugar, water, and 1 Tbsp of corn starch to slightly thicken.
very good, and very easy to make! I did add an egg though, and it helped hold it together so it didnt fall apart when trying to serve
Just delicious! I've impressed many neighbors with this recipie--it's unique and they don't have to know how quick and easy it is! Very buttery and rich.
This recipe was so easy and instead of making the cake, I used a yellow cake mix from the store. The cake was wonderful but I felt that there was too much "frosting". Overall, cake was wonderful and everyone loved it.
Delicious! More like peach treacle. Better to present it in the cake tray and spoon out. Lovely with fresh cream or ice cream!
I had left-over peaches and just cooked them in a small amount of water them for a short time to soften. Only added a small amount of the juice to pour over top. Delicious with vanilla ice cream! Nice soft texture.
Very yummy and is now the most requested dessert at our house! I prefer using half the juice and adding cinnamon...
Not only was this a quick and easy recipe... but the raves from my family made it all the better!!! My 15 yr old daughter even asked me to save the recipe for her! A new family FAVORITE!
I used all a lot of alternative products like vegan buttery spread, lactose free reduced fat milk, and turbinado sugar. As for the peaches I used frozen and needed no juice at all the cake came out very delicious!
I have made this recipe twice now. The first time was with canned peaches. This time I used fruit cocktail in the can. Both times it turned out great
I used half of the syrup in the can- so not to make it too sloppy. They were good if you really like peaches, and I don't too much.
the cake turned out bad and its bottom was completely gooey. very disappointed
I signed up a user name on allrecipes just so I could rate this. Yum!!! I had a bag of fresh frozen peaches & nectarines and used that instead of the can. I also took the advise of another review and pureed half my peaches and I think that made up for the peach juice used in the recipe. For sure I will make this again!

CHICAGO (AP) — The second game of the New York Mets' four-game series at the Chicago Cubs has been postponed by rain.
Steady rain fell in Chicago on Friday morning, and it was expected to continue for much of the afternoon. The game was rescheduled for a split-doubleheader on Saturday.
The NL East-leading Mets rolled to an 8-0 victory over the lowly Cubs on Thursday night. Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo homered, and Carlos Carrasco pitched six effective innings in New York's third win in four games.
Chicago has dropped seven in a row. Marcus Stroman (2-5, 4.91 ERA) is slated to start the doubleheader opener against his former team, and Drew Smyly (2-5, 4.43 ERA) is lined up for Game 2 for the Cubs.
There was no immediate word on New York's starters. Taijuan Walker (7-2, 2.63 ERA) was scheduled to pitch on Friday, and Max Scherzer (6-1, 2.15 ERA) was Saturday's starter.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Unified Government Public Health Department is asking residents to take precautions as Wyandotte County experiences a surge in COVID-19 cases.
According to the UGPHD, the county is experiencing the highest seven-day rolling average since mid-February.
The county is averaging about 56 new cases a day, which doesn't include at-home tests.
On Thursday, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention placed Wyandotte County in its highest category for COVID-19 levels.
Additionally, the current average is 60% higher than the rolling average of cases per day than it was at this time last year.
“We consider an average of 50 or more new cases per day to be a surge of COVID in our community, and Wyandotte County just passed that threshold,” Elizabeth Groenweghe, chief epidemiologist with the UGPHD, said. “With the increased number of people testing at home, we believe actual COVID case numbers may be much higher. As people are planning their summer activities, we encourage them to consider wearing a well-fitting mask in indoor public spaces, monitor for symptoms, get tested if you don’t feel well, and stay home if you are sick. It’s also important to stay up-to-date on your COVID vaccines and boosters to help prevent serious illness and death from COVID.”
All of the new cases in Kansas are the Omicron variant, with most of the cases being the BA. 4 and BA. 5 variants of the virus.

A man who allegedly stole a car in Whangārei was arrested after an eagle-eyed police officer spotted the missing vehicle more than 90km away. The car came to police attention after a member of the public made a driving complaint in Kawakawa about 2.10pm. Inquiries established it had been stolen earlier in the day. It was located on State Highway 1 near Pakaraka about 3.30pm and followed onto Old Bay Rd, where the driver eventually pulled into a driveway and gave himself up. The Advocate understands the driver twice reversed at low speed into the police car that had boxed him in but damage to the police car was minimal. A police spokeswoman said one person was taken into custody following an incident involving a stolen vehicle in the Mid North area. An officer connected to the incident said the arrest was the result of "a really good team effort by police across Northland".
■ August Lemon, 46, of Waiotira, appeared in the Whangārei District Court on Friday charged with wilful damage of a police car, refusing a blood alcohol test, driving while forbidden, assault with intent to injure, and two counts of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle. The cars were taken in Whangārei on June 22, when the alleged assault occurred, and July 14. He was remanded in custody and is due back in court on August 3 by audio-visual link for a bail application.
Arrests in dairy robbery
Three people have been arrested so far in relation to a robbery at a Kamo dairy on Wednesday. A group of people allegedly entered the Ye Korner Dairy about 8.30am, armed with a metal bar and stole a number of items. There were no reports of injuries.
Firearms incident
One person was arrested after a firearms incident in the Far North yesterday afternoon. Police responded to reports of a person carrying a firearm on Matangirau School Rd, Kaeo about 1.38pm, a police spokesperson said. Multiple police units attended and the person was taken into custody shortly after, they added. No injuries were reported and police said they were not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident.
Fallen tree cuts power
A falling tree brought down power lines and blocked a road north of Matauri Bay yesterday. It's not clear when the tree came down but emergency services were alerted to the incident on Wainui Rd, north of Mahinepua, about 6.20am. Volunteers from Cavalli Fire Brigade assisted Top Energy to remove the tree. The resulting power cut coincided with a planned maintenance shutdown in the area. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/news-in-brief-car-stolen-in-whangarei-tracked-to-pakaraka/UMDIZZD3ZCDFOXBH27HJDKRQEQ/ | 2022-07-15T17:22:57Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/news-in-brief-car-stolen-in-whangarei-tracked-to-pakaraka/UMDIZZD3ZCDFOXBH27HJDKRQEQ/ | true | 2 |
Mrs. Linda Watts, age 84, of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, passed away on July 12, 2022.
Linda was born in Glen Ridge, NJ to David and Jessie Jackman on October 14, 1937.
She was preceded in death by her parents, David and Jessie Jackman and her brother -in-law, Erwin H. Leiphart III
Linda is survived by her husband of 63 years, Capt. Robert B. Watts, USN (Ret), her children, Robert B. Watts, Jr. (Sue) of Deep River, CT, Jennifer W. Ackermans of Antwerp, Belgium, and James G. Watts, Dedham, MA, and her sister, Leslie J. Leiphart of St. Simons Island, GA. Linda will also be greatly missed by her grandchildren, Robert B. Watts, III (Makayla) of Chester, CT, Katharine E. Watts of Deep River, CT, Mégane Ackermans and Elise Ackermans of Antwerp, Belgium, her great granddaughter, Hadley Grace Watts of Chester, CT and Nephews David Leiphart (Mary Beth), Hingham, MA and Christopher Leiphart (Angela), Brunswick, GA.
Linda and her husband Bob were born two years, and four houses apart, in Nutley, NJ, where their parents had been friends for some years. Though only two years apart in the local school system, they never dated, but remained distantly acquainted through their families’ long-standing friendship. That all changed when, on Christmas leave from naval flight training, Bob joined his parents at the Jackman’s seasonal Open House, and there the relationship blossomed. However, Linda was in her junior year of college and Bob was in FL and TX for flight training, and subsequently on sea duty, flying in carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft squadrons. Thus, during the next two years, and due to the distances involved, dating was only an occasional even possible. Six months later, while visiting Bob in Florida on Spring Break, he popped the question and Linda said, “but you hardly know me.” Bob understood, agreed, and said, “OK, I’ll ask you tomorrow” which he did, and Linda said yes. Linda married Robert Watts of Nutley, NJ on June 27, 1959, in St. Mary’s Church, Nutley, NJ
For the next 30 years Linda was a dedicated “Navy Wife,” often left to raise the three children by herself, as many Navy wives do. Always active in the wives’ clubs of squadrons and staffs to which Bob was assigned, her natural gregarious and conversational instincts always enabled her to be a graceful and gracious hostess, coupled with her natural concern for the well-being and welfare of others. Her skills as wife, mother and friend to others served her well during her husband’s 12 different duty assignments, mostly on the East Coast, but featured a five-and-one-half year residence in Belgium, while her husband was assigned to the staff of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe – and that tour led to having a dual citizenship daughter and two Belgium-born granddaughters.

British authorities issued their first ever “red” warning for extreme heat early next week, declaring a national emergency as forecasters predict record temperatures that will put even healthy people at risk of serious illness and death.
The warning covers Monday and Tuesday when temperatures in England may reach 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first time, the agency said.
The highest temperature ever recorded in the U.K. is 38.7C (101.7F), set in 2019. The UK Health Security Agency increased its own alert to the highest level, warning of a “national emergency.”
The red warning includes the London metro area.
“Nights are also likely to be exceptionally warm, especially in urban areas," said Met Office Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen. "This is likely to lead to widespread impacts on people and infrastructure. Therefore, it is important people plan for the heat and consider changing their routines. This level of heat can have adverse health effects.”
Officials believe climate change could be playing a role in the heat.
“Climate change has already influenced the likelihood of temperature extremes in the UK," said Dr. Nikos Christidis, climate attribution scientist at the Met Office. "The chances of seeing 40°C days in the UK could be as much as 10 times more likely in the current climate than under a natural climate unaffected by human influence. The likelihood of exceeding 40°C anywhere in the UK in a given year has also been rapidly increasing, and, even with current pledges on emissions reductions, such extremes could be taking place every 15 years in the climate of 2100.” | https://www.turnto23.com/news/national/uk-issues-1st-ever-red-warning-for-hot-weather-next-week | 2022-07-15T17:28:31Z | https://www.turnto23.com/news/national/uk-issues-1st-ever-red-warning-for-hot-weather-next-week | true | 10 |
A 24-year-old woman has died after paddleboarding in North Wales. Emma Louise Powell, from Llandudno, was one of two people taken by ambulance to Ysbyty Gwynedd after emergency services responded to reports of paddleboarders in difficulty off Conwy Morfa beach on Thursday night, North Wales Police said.
She died in hospital, the force said. In a statement, her family said: “Emma was a beautiful young lady, who was adventurous and had a free spirit.
“She will remain in our hearts for the rest of our lives.”
Police, the coastguard, RNLI and ambulance service were called to help three casualties just before 10.15pm.
The coroner has been informed and specialist officers are supporting Ms Powell’s family, police added. | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/tribute-adventurous-woman-24-who-7340028 | 2022-07-15T17:29:26Z | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/tribute-adventurous-woman-24-who-7340028 | true | null |
Liverpool's 4-0 defeat to Manchester United in their first pre-season friendly on July 12 could be considered a one-off. The match was essentially used to bring the players up to speed physically, mentally and tactically. Building on that performance, the Reds showed positive signs in Singapore, beating fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace 2-0 on July 15.
Unlike the game against Manchester United, Jurgen Klopp named a strong side to start the match. The likes of James Milner, Joel Matip, and Ibrahima Konate all started.
Harvey Elliott ran rings around Palace’s full-backs. He provided the assist for the opening goal by cutting past his marker and pulling the ball back to Jordan Henderson. The Englishman's first-time finish found the back of the next.
Elliott almost scored a few minutes later but skewed his effort wide following a smart move from Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Klopp made several changes at halftime, which included goalkeeper Harvey Davies making his first appearance for the senior team. Davies is expected to serve as the fourth choice goalkeeper for the Reds for the 2022-23 season.
Mohamed Salah found his scoring boots within minutes of his introduction, putting Liverpool 2-0 up. He combined well with Trent Alexander-Arnold and fired a right-footed shot past Vicente Guaita via a deflection.
Big-money (£85 million) summer signing Darwin Nunez was also on the pitch in the second half. His teammates looked eager to get him on the score sheet as they tried to find him with every opportunity. However, it was not meant to be, and the Uruguyan’s wait for his first Liverpool goal continues.
With the win secured, Klopp made another set of wholesale changes with 12 minutes left on the clock. He brought on a number of academy players and gave the first-team regulars a rest. Liverpool will next be in action on July 27 when they take on RB Leipzig in their third pre-season friendly.
On that note, here are five talking points from Liverpool’s first pre-season victory over Crystal Palace:
#1 Harvey Elliott will soften the blow of Sadio Mane’s departure
Harvey Elliott’s abilities are no secret. He was a highly rated prospect during his time in the youth teams and has settled in comfortably into the senior team. He has played a bit-part role at the club so far, but this season could be the making of the 19-year-old.
He was inspirational throughout the first half, with his assist for the opening goal showcasing one of his many abilities.
Sadio Mane and Divock Origi’s departures to Bayern Munich and AC Milan respectively have opened space in the squad for Elliott. Combined with Klopp’s faith in younger players, the Englishman could be the breakout star for Liverpool in 2022-23.
#2 Injury setback for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain limped out of their friendly against Crystal Palace, giving Klopp another player to worry about heading into the new season. The 28-year-old dropped to the pitch three minutes before the break. He immediately signaled to the bench while punching the turf in frustration. He went straight down the tunnel once he was off the pitch.
The England midfielder has found his future uncertain this summer as he enters the final 12 months of his Liverpool contract.
He made no appearances in the final two months of last season and has fallen down the pecking order since. The latest setback comes as another blow to both the player and the club.
#3 Mohamed Salah opens his account for the season
While it was only a friendly, Liverpool fans will be delighted to see Mohamed Salah score his first goal of the season. The prolific forward’s scoring abilities took a dive since he returned from the African Cup of Nations in February last season. Those exertions and a contract dispute were rumored to be holding him back on the pitch.
He still managed to win the Premier League Golden Boot, sharing it with Son Heung-Min with 23 goals. He also won the league's 'Playmaker of the Season' award with 13 assists.
After a summer’s rest and a newly-signed contract under his belt, Salah has returned with a smile on his face and a goal to his name.
Mane has now departed and Nunez will perhaps need time to acclimatize to his new surroundings. Hence, Liverpool will be hoping that Salah returns to his devastating best this season.
#4 Promising Darwin Nunez needs to get up to speed quickly
Darwin Nunez is Liverpool’s big summer signing heading into the 2022-23 season, rivaling Manchester City’s signing of Erling Haaland. The Uruguayan is expected to soften the blow of Mane’s departure while giving Klopp an out-and-out striker to lead the team’s attack.
Nunez looked alright against Manchester United and put in a much better performance against Palace. However, his maiden goal for the Reds continues to elude him. The manager, his teammates and Liverpool fans will be hoping that he finds his scoring touch soon.
#5 Reds beset with injury worries
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is not the first player to pick up an injury this pre-season. Liverpool were already without the services of Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker and Joe Gomez.
Jota picked up an injury in training, with a subsequent scan confirming the recurrence of his hamstring injury. While Gomez’s absence against Crystal Palace was only a precautionary one, goalkeeper Alisson is a cause for concern. Though, he's not expected to be on the sidelines in the long term.
Is this a blip or is there enough cause for concern? Do Liverpool need to dive into the transfer market to bolster their depth? These are questions that only time, and Klopp, can answer. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/liverpool-2-0-crystal-palace-5-talking-points-jurgen-klopp-s-side-registers-first-pre-season-win | 2022-07-15T17:32:03Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/liverpool-2-0-crystal-palace-5-talking-points-jurgen-klopp-s-side-registers-first-pre-season-win | false | 1 |
Christmas is fast approaching and along with the festive season comes sun and parties. The quest for this season’s thirst quenching and refreshing grown-up drink begins! Bubbles and/or ice generally feature heavily in such a choice in summer.
Although, vinegar is unlikely to be at front of mind when considering what to drink, it has a long history in the beverage category. There are plenty of variants on vinegar and fruit-based drinks, going back hundreds of years. The Switchel (Haymakers Punch), a combination of apple cider vinegar, lemon, ginger and honey in water, is one of the original electrolyte drinks, the Shrub is another.
What is a shrub?
A plant, yes, but the shrubs referred to here are beverages. Spelt the same way, their name comes from the Arabic word Sharab, meaning ‘to drink’.
Shrub drinks, in the form known today, are inspired by the colonial Americans, who were a resourceful group and wasted little. The origin of these drinks is somewhat before this time, however, possibly back as far as the middle ages. Medicinal cordials of the 15th Century were also part of the history of these drinks, using spirits instead of vinegar.
Prior to refrigeration, fruit (usually berries) was soaked in vinegar, preserving the fruit for later consumption. Once the fruit was consumed, the vinegar was sweetened with sugar or honey and was then used to flavour the river water to make it more drinkable.
Shrub syrup can be mixed with soda or mineral water to make a soft drink — an excellent alternative to commercial carbonated water flavourings. Shrubs can be added to a cocktail much like bitters. They can even be used in your cooking where a sweet, acidic quality is required, such as in dressings and marinades. A variety of different types of fermented vinegar can be used, with apple cider vinegar being the most popular. There are a variety of documented health benefits that also go along with drinking these vinegar-based drinks, the list being almost endless, from sugar management to heartburn and digestion relief.
Fruit chutney or fruit spreads can be made from the fruit, if eating vinegar-soaked fruit is not to your taste.
Try a Shrub cocktail – Orange and Lavender Shrub with Lemonade or soda, (and a splash of Gin if you are after something stronger) is one of my favourites.
Has this sparked your curiosity in Shrubs? Shrubs are available for sale at the Locavore Store in Bindoon. | https://nvnews.com.au/what-to-drink-during-party-season/ | 2022-07-15T17:33:16Z | https://nvnews.com.au/what-to-drink-during-party-season/ | true | 1 |

If you've finished MADiSON and want some more horror games, we've got five that will scare your pants off.
Scare yourself with Soma and cross the finish line in OnRush.
These free games up for grabs will haunt your PC accordingly this month.
Frictional's 2015 horror game Soma is about to find a home on Xbox One, along with a whole new way to experience its story.
Soma is a survival horror game that has both monsters and a main character that's forced to deal with deep existential issues. Coincidentally, many of these issues were tackled in various Star Trek episodes, oftentimes more than once. So, it seems no matter how far you go into the future, questions about human existence remain a conundrum. Especially when you involve transporters and holodecks.
Although BioShock is officially considered to be the spiritual successor to the System Shock series, the two games couldn't be more different. In fact, the recently released Soma might do a better job of bringing sci-fi horror from deep space to the deep sea, and here's why.
Shacknews plumbs the depths of existence with Soma. Can we survive this underwater sci-fi thriller, or are we destined to a watery grave? Our review.
Soma, an sci-fi themed survival horror game, takes you through bits of its story with an all-new trailer.
As a flood of games release this fall, here are the top action games to keep a close eye on.
Frictional Games has opened up pre-orders for the PC version of SOMA and that means the game's PC specs have been revealed. | https://www.shacknews.com/topic/soma | 2022-07-15T17:33:30Z | https://www.shacknews.com/topic/soma | false | 1 |

WHEN FIVE-year old Shamsiya Dahamani was sent to her grandmother for fostering at Walewale, in the West Mamprusi Municipality of the North East Region, her parents hoped she would get the needed care and education.
Shamsiya was enrolled into school while she stayed with her grandmother and then moved to live with her aunty and her husband where sheattendedthe Ebenezer Presbyterian School in Walewale till she reached her final year and registered for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
And so, it all seemed well till a few months to the start of the BECE, when Shamsiya returned to her father’s house in Zangumyakura, a community in the municipality.
“I was at home when my daughter came by herself. I was worried and disturbed when I saw her, because no one told me about her coming,” says Dahaman Seini, Shamsiya’s father.
But it did not take long for Shamsiya’s parents to know what brought their daughter home eventhough she was supposed to be preparing to sit her final exams for her junior high school education in Walewale.
“A family meeting was called and when I went, they told me that my daughter was pregnant,” Shamsiya’s father recalls. “I was very sad and devastated about the news”.
“I did not know I was pregnant, it was my grandmother in Walewale who saw me and asked who impregnated me and I told her it was my aunty’s husband, Yusif, but she did not believe me, and he also denied being responsible for the pregnancy,” Shamsiya says. “So, after some time I left them and came to my father’s house.”
The unfortunate situation put 15-year-old Shamsiya’s education in limbo as she could no longer continue her studies at the Ebenezer Presbyterian School in Walewale.
“I didn’t want her to go to school here because I didn’t want anyone in the community to see that my daughter was pregnant,” Shamsiya’s father recounts. But, Shamsiya wanted to go back to school even though she was pregnant and more importantly sit for her BECE. She also wanted Yusif to take responsibility for the pregnancy.
“When we heard about Shamsiya’s case, she had already left Walewale, which meant she had stopped schooling,” says Nancy Yeri, Project Manager for the Adolescent Safe Space Project, funded by UNFPA-UNICEF and implemented by the Northern Sector Action on Awareness Centre (NORSAAC).
The project, which is being implemented in six districts in the North, creates the platform for adolescents to discuss their issues with mentors and trained officers who can support them with the goal of preventing teenage pregnancy and sexual violence.
Ms Yeri states that NORSAAC reported the case to the social welfare department of the West Mamprusi Municipality which in turn referred it to the girl child officer at the Ghana Education Service (GES) District office.
Ms Yeri says an officer of the GES met with Shamsiya’s family to discuss how best she could be reintegrated into school to complete her education and that was when, she realised, Shamsiya wanted to go back to school.
So, with the assistance of the GES District Officer, Shamsiya enrolled at a new school, Zangu JHS School in Zangumyakura, to continue her education.
Her new school teachers and classmates supported her till she was delivered of her baby girl in May 2020, and continued to write her BECE in September, 2020.
“Also, we referred her to the UNICEF Safety Net Programme which assigned an officer to monitor her progress. The Social Welfare Department also mediated a meeting between the two families where Yusif took responsibility for the pregnancy and is now supporting Shamsiya and her baby girl,” Mr. Yeri adds.
Shamsiya hopes to continue her education so she can become a teacher in future. “I would want to empower my child with quality education. I would want to be a teacher in future so that I can educate my children,” she says.
Head of the Social Welfare Department of the West Mamprusi Municipality of the North East Region, Alhaji Abdul Wahab Ibrahim, says strengthening stakeholder engagement and referral system for child protection is a priority for the department.
Alhaji Wahab Ibrahim, who in the past, has dealt with various issues of child protection, says the effective implementation of these two pillars goes a long way to improve the welfare of the child in the municipality.
“For us, as an institution, we are in constant education engaging the various stakeholders especially, in the implementation of child welfare policies, for them to understand that child welfare issues are matters of concern to the nation, and if children’s rights are abused, they should try to move outside the family for institutions to come and play their role instead of shielding it in the name of the family,” he indicates.
Alhaji Ibrahim adds that the department has been engaging communities with the child protection tool kits provided by UNICEF adding “We demonstrate to them the dangers involved in some of these things. So, the sensitisation is still ongoing and sometimes people from other communities help others to report their cases because, we visited that community with the UNICEF child protection tool kit.”
He attests to the impact the UNICEF tool kit has had in communities. “Initially, people were not reporting such cases at all, but nowadays, once a while parents come in with their children and ask us to counsel them; sometimes, changes come,” he adds.

Two people were ticketed after ignoring a warning from police and continuing to illegally honk their vehicle horns during Victoria protests on Thursday.
The traffic infractions came after a group of vehicles protested near the B.C. legislature just after noon on July 14.
“The group of approximately 20 vehicles was engaged in a slow-roll blockade and were using vehicle horns, modified air horns, and amplified speakers mounted to their vehicles all of which had a significant and unlawful impact on residents and businesses in James Bay and the B.C. Legislature area,” VicPD said in a statement.
A traffic officer spoke with each participant and the vehicles stopped honking before leaving the area. The same officer was then in the 2500-block of Blanshard Street for a separate issue, VicPD said, and saw many of the same vehicles circling the block, honking and using amplified speakers to target a nearby business.
The officer ticketed two drivers after they had already received earlier warnings about the behaviour. The tickets include fines and penalty points. VicPD said the unlawful activity ceased shortly after.

Whether presenting a closing argument to a jury as a lawyer or singing on stage as a professional musician, Valerie Giglio of Stoneham, Massachusetts, knows how to work a crowd.
"You're performing either way," she said.
When she was 42, she lost the ability to do both. All because of a sudden head turn.
The motion caused a sharp pain in her neck that persisted for several days. It bothered Giglio enough that she went to the hospital. Doctors told her it was probably a pulled muscle and sent her on her way.
The next morning, she felt dizzy and had double vision; the world was spinning. Her husband called 911. The ambulance transported her to the same local hospital she had just visited.
Still unable to definitively diagnose the cause of her symptoms, doctors transferred her to another hospital. Testing revealed a stroke caused by bleeding in her brain. Known as a hemorrhagic stroke, it was caused by a weakened vessel that ruptured. About 13% of strokes are caused by such hemorrhages. Her delayed diagnosis likely happened because strokes aren't expected among people her age and with her overall health.
"About one out of every six to seven strokes actually affects young people, but this isn't the sort of fact that is widely recognized, even by physicians," said Dr. Aneesh Singhal, a neurologist who treated her that night. "As a result, there's often a missed opportunity to give lifesaving treatments."
The longer it takes to treat the problem, the more time there is for physical problems to set in. Giglio couldn't swallow for a week. Speaking clearly was difficult, and singing was impossible. Her left side was paralyzed.
"It was like somebody had taken a pen and made a line right down the middle of my body. I was robbed of almost everything," she said. "But luckily, I had my mind."
Giglio spent a week in the hospital followed by two months at an inpatient rehabilitation facility. The magnitude of her disability became clear when during a music therapy class she struggled to bang on a cup as if it were a drum.
"I cried my eyes out," she said.
But she improved week by week. Walking with a cane was one of her first big milestones. Walking without one was an even bigger one. And simply opening her left hand felt like a major victory.
"I wanted my life back, and I went the extra mile," she said. "I did everything they told me to do and more."
Determined to regain her singing voice, Giglio also started working with a voice coach, relearning how to breathe properly and practicing one note at a time. "I had no tone, no vibrato, nothing that would make me a professional singer," she said.
The stroke occurred in 2014. By 2016, she felt confident enough to audition for the Berklee College of Music in Boston as a vocal principal. They offered her admission.
"That felt triumphant," she said.
It's one of Giglio's many accomplishments in the years since her stroke.
She's published a book about her stroke journey and she's advocated for legislation to improve critical care for stroke patients. Inspired by her classes at Berklee, she founded her own music publishing company to produce her own songs, a fusion of old-timey classics and electronic dance music called electro-swing.
Earlier this year, at the invitation of the American Heart Association, she performed the national anthem at a Boston Bruins NHL game. Televised to millions, it was by far her largest audience.
"It was great hearing the audience cheer when I made those high notes," she said. "Hopefully I can shatter some stereotypes about what's possible."

(The Hill) — President Joe Biden greeted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with a fist bump on Friday ahead of the controversial face-to-face meeting between the two men in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Footage displayed on Saudi state television showed Biden emerging from his limo and fist-bumping the crown prince, who is known by his initials MBS, before the two entered Al Salam Royal Palace.
Biden is meeting there privately with King Salman of Saudi Arabia. He is scheduled to meet later with MBS and Saudi ministers, which will be partially open to press.
There had been questions leading up to the meeting Friday about how Biden would greet the crown prince, whom Biden previously condemned on the campaign trail over the murder of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
The White House said the president would “minimize contact” with other officials on the multi-day trip to Israel and Saudi Arabia, citing the spread of COVID-19 variants. But that policy led to speculation that Biden would use it as an excuse to avoid shaking hands with MBS.
On his stops in Israel, Biden greeted some officials with fist bumps and others with handshakes.
The meeting between Biden and MBS has been intensely controversial due to the U.S. intelligence community assessment that the crown prince approved the assassination of Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist, at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
While campaigning for president in 2020, Biden pledged to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” over Khashoggi’s murder. The president took a cooler approach to the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia during his first year in office than his predecessor, Donald Trump.
The White House announced plans for Biden’s Middle East trip, including a stop in Saudi Arabia, earlier this year amid domestic pressure over high gas prices.
Biden is expected to discuss energy security in his meetings with the Saudis, though the White House has signaled there will not be an immediate announcement on boosting oil production on the trip.
The White House also described the trip as an effort by Biden to reassert U.S. presence in the Middle East, at a time of rising threats from Russia and China. Biden sought to usher in warmer ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia, seeing some success as he became the first U.S. president to fly directly from Israel to Saudi Arabia on Friday. He is also seeking cooperation on threats from Iran.
Biden was greeted at the airport by the governor of Makkah, the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., and consular officials. The greeting paled in comparison to the elaborate reception given to Trump, who made his first foreign trip as president to Saudi Arabia. | https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/biden-greets-saudi-crown-prince-with-fist-bump/ | 2022-07-15T17:46:56Z | https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/biden-greets-saudi-crown-prince-with-fist-bump/ | true | 14 |
Body recovered in Lake Michigan; 4 drownings in 1 day
SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (AP) - The body of an Ohio man has been recovered in Lake Michigan, the fourth drowning from a day earlier in western Michigan.
Authorities say Anthony Diehl may have been trying to help a 7-year-old boy who was struggling Wednesday in the water in South Haven. The boy also drowned.
Separately, the body of a 60-year-old man was recovered from the Grand River channel to Lake Michigan in Ottawa County. And a 16-year-old boy drowned Wednesday at another park along the lake in Ottawa County.
Van Buren County Sheriff Dan Abbott says swimmers must respect red flags, which signal rough waters.

The governments of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam on Friday signed an agreement here to resolve the existing border-related disputes between the two neighbouring states.
The pact — ‘Namsai Declaration’, was signed at the Chief Ministerial level meeting that was attended by Arunachal Chief Minister Pema Khandu and his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Under the pact, the state governments have agreed to reduce the number of disputed villages.
“We have decided to restrict the disputed villages to 86 instead of earlier 123. This is historic,” Assam CM Sarma said.
He further said both the state governments have aimed to solve the complete border disputes within a very short time.
“Namsai Declaration is hugely significant and a landmark progress towards enduring brotherhood, peace and prosperity in the North East,” Khandu wrote on Twitter.
The 28 villages that are within the constitutional boundary of Arunachal Pradesh will remain with the state. Three villages from where the Arunachal Pradesh government has withdrawn their claim will remain with Assam.
Further, another six villages could not be located on the Assam side. If the villages exist on the Arunachal side, these will continue with this hilly state.
Around 12 regional committees which were formed earlier, have been assessing the ground situation by holding extensive talks with the villagers.
The committees may submit the first tranche of reports within September 15.
As the committees conclude their deliberations and an agreement arrives between two state governments, the draft MoU will be referred to the Central government for its approval.
Some of the cabinet ministers from both states were also present at the meeting on Friday.
Notably, the border dispute between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh had reached Supreme Court long ago, and in a crucial meeting held in April this year in Guwahati, the two Chief Ministers agreed on an out-of-the-court settlement for the pending boundary issues between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

Carla Thorson explains how to avoid the latest logistical disasters.
As you likely know, summer travel has been eventful this year…to put it mildly. Thanks to a grim pilot shortage coupled with a soaring demand for flights, travelers have experienced cancellations, delays, and even a surge of lost luggage. The news has been absolutely flooded with transit horror stories, all of which have put a real damper on our vacation plans.
However dreary the situation might seem, though, we’re not willing to cancel our much-needed holidays. Many of us haven’t had a chance to travel in two years and we’re itching to get out of the house, the state, or even the country. Luckily, Katie’s travel agent, Carla Thorson, has some pertinent advice for managing your plans during these tough times. Thorson reminds us that a lot of the headache-inducing issues are unfortunately inevitable — but a fine-tuned plan of action is key.
Which times of day are best for flying right now?
If you haven’t booked your flight yet, you still have a chance to strategize. Thorson says that if you want to avoid delays, early morning flights are your best shot, since “there’s no chance the aircraft is delayed from another destination.” Yes, facing a 4 a.m. alarm and a pre-dawn trip to the airport is certainly never fun, but neither is a delay.
Thorson also says that you might have to reprioritize which day you choose to fly. She recommends opting for a mid-week trip if you want to travel more efficiently, and “definitely stay away from weekend flights.” Arriving at your destination on a Wednesday might be inconvenient, but it could save you some serious time and trouble.
How should you navigate a flight cancellation?
Thorson admits that flight cancellations are now an all-too-common occurrence: “Unfortunately, flight cancellations are part of traveling these days.” It’s not the best news, but the reality is that even the most prepared traveler can experience an unexpected detour — Thorson reminds us that some things are simply out of our control.
She recommends outsourcing, if possible. A travel agent will know how to help in a pinch: Air travel is their profession, after all. Organizing your own trip might be tempting, but according to Thorson, “travel advisors are alerted right away of flight cancellations and can rebook the passenger on a new flight. They can give you more information than you may get at the airport.”
Of course, for the majority of Americans, this trip alone was a splurge and the current economic climate doesn’t allow for the additional cost of a travel advisor. For those of us in that boat, Thorson stresses the importance of investing in travel insurance. The added expense might seem annoying, but it’ll cover cancellations and lost luggage.
Which travel destinations should you avoid?
If you’re still deciding on a destination, you have time to choose wisely. She recommends planning a domestic vacation or choose a shorter international trip: A direct flight will cut down on chances for pesky delays and cancellations that can cause missed connections, a common problem these days. “Choosing destinations where you can go on a non-stop flight is a big help.” Your ideal might be a summer in Italy or a few weeks in Paris — however, those destinations could be a bigger gamble than you think. Alongside all the risks that come with not flying direct, “international leisure destinations are very crowded right now as the Covid restrictions are not as strict,” says Thorson. Keep in mind that this means fuller flights, as well as the added worry of health risks associated with big crowds (after all, who wants to catch Covid on vacation?).
Of course, we realize that life is short: You can’t let the possibility of air travel drama dictate important decisions and memory-making. If you must go on your European dream vacation this summer, just recognize that this isn’t the time to go with the flow. Thorson advises to over-plan everything on your itinerary: “If you do choose a popular destination, book everything before you go: Tours, transfers, dinner reservations, spa appointments, and — of course — the hotel.” Don’t leave anything up to chance.
Remember to pack wisely
No one is exactly thrilled to be flying right now, so make things easier on yourself and your fellow travelers: Triple check beforehand that you’ve got everything you need. Thorson advocates for a good old-fashioned checklist. Even though it may seem obvious, write down reminders to yourself to efficiently pack your vaccination card, your I.D., your passport, and some cash.
If you can avoid checking your luggage, you’ll also avoid lost luggage, which is a common occurrence in airports right now. Lastly, Thorson reminds us to bring plenty of patience: “There’s always a little drama in traveling.” | https://katiecouric.com/lifestyle/expert-tips-on-planning-trips-flight-delays-cancellations/ | 2022-07-15T17:54:03Z | https://katiecouric.com/lifestyle/expert-tips-on-planning-trips-flight-delays-cancellations/ | true | 1 |
The omicron subvariant dominating U.S. COVID-19 cases is more vaccine-resistant
The BA.5 omicron subvariant, which is now the most prevalent coronavirus strain in the United States, is four times more resistant to COVID-19 vaccines, according to a new study.
The strain, which is considered “hypercontagious,” according to the Mayo Clinic, is more defiant against messenger RNA vaccines, which include Pfizer and Moderna.
The BA.5 strain represented 65% of cases from July 3 to 9, according to data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.
It is contributing to increases in COVID-19 hospitalizations and admissions to intensive care units across the country.
But vaccines still provide much better protection than going without the safeguards.
Unvaccinated people have about a five times higher chance of contracting the virus than those who are vaccinated and boosted, while chances of hospitalization are 7.5 times higher, and chances of death are 14 to 15 times higher, said Dr. Gregory Poland, head of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group.
“Let me make a clear, clear point here that’s a little tough to hear: Whether you’ve been vaccinated, whether you’ve been previously infected, whether you’ve been previously infected and vaccinated, you have very little protection against BA.5 in terms of getting infected or having mild to moderate infection,” he said. “You have good protection against dying, being hospitalized or ending up on a ventilator.”
The CDC still recommends getting tested if you experience COVID-19 symptoms, and wearing masks depending on the number of cases where you live.
The more contagious omicron variant was first detected in the U.S. in December 2021.
As the BA.5 strain becomes more popular, incidences of the BA.1, BA 1.1 and BA.2 omicron subvariants have declined.

FL Dem Pulled Over, Tells Cop to 'Find Something Better to F***ing Do,' Then Speeds Off
The vice mayor of a Florida community dropped an F-bomb while rebuking a police officer who pulled her over for alleged speeding but only issued her a warning.
A video of the April incident was posted to YouTube last week. It shows a traffic stop that took place in Fort Lauderdale involving Democratic Pompano Beach Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins.
“What’s going on tonight?” the officer says as he walks up to the white Audi Perkins was driving.
WARNING: The following contains language that some viewers will find offensive.
“Nothing,” Perkins says.
“Nothing? You’re driving crazy,” the officer replies.
The officer tells Perkins she was speeding, then asks for her driver’s license. After going to his patrol vehicle, he returns to her car.
“Ms. Perkins, you need to slow down, OK? There’s going to be … a warning about speeding, OK?” the officer says. “Did you hear what I said?”
Perkins does not reply.
“Did you hear what I said? You’ve got to slow down. I’m writing you a warning for speeding tonight, OK?” the officer says.
“I am Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins from the city of Pompano Beach. Y’all need to find something better to f***ing do,” Perkins says as she speeds off.
In a Facebook post, the National Fraternal Order of Police said, “Vice Mayor Perkins, we hope you were just having a bad day when you told this Ft. Lauderdale officer to ‘find something better to F*****g do.’ Maybe apologize to the officer who was just doing his job? Im sure this officer would be glad to have you do a few ride alongs with him or other officers to understand what they face every day.”
The Fort Lauderdale FOP posted on Facebook, “Madam Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins, instead of attacking the hard-working Fort Lauderdale Police Department Officers and resorting to using profanity, we suggest you apologize and then sign up for some ride alongs to see what they do every day to protect the citizens of our great city.
“As an elected official, you too are held to a higher standard and should know better. If that is not something you can bring yourself to do, we suggest you obey the speed limit and seek anger management. ”
“Furthermore, we would like to commend the [Fort Lauderdale Police Department] Officer for his professionalism and dedication to duty in keeping our community safe,” the post read.
Perkins issued an apology at a Tuesday city commission meeting, saying she “complied with instructions from the police officer,” according to WPLG-TV.
“If any exchange on my part, the conversation with the police officer, is perceived as being disrespectful, then I do apologize,” she said.
Barbara Stern, an attorney representing the Fort Lauderdale police union, criticized Perkins at the meeting.
“You were not gracious. You were not apologetic,” Stern said. “You were rude, unprofessional and disrespectful.”
When asked if she had any further comment, Perkins said, “I’ve made my statement at the beginning of the meeting and that was it.”

Manchin wants Democrats to pause budget bill, risking its fate
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats should delay President Joe Biden’s signature economic package until later this summer, Sen. Joe Manchin said Friday, a demand that would jeopardize the party’s environment and tax goals and postpone a congressional showdown over the plan until the cusp of November’s elections.
The pivotal West Virginia Democrat told a statewide radio show that if party leaders want to plan votes on the still-emerging measure this month, they should limit it to provisions curbing pharmaceutical prices, extending soon-to-expire federal health care subsidies and reducing federal deficits.
That would mean excluding other top goals the party has pursued under Biden. Those include prompting a shift from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources and paying for its priorities by taxing the wealthiest Americans and companies. Party leaders have hoped to achieve those initiatives in time to flash them before voters ahead of elections in which Republicans could win control of Congress.
Manchin spoke a day after he told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that he could not support a bill now that would include other party goals like battling climate change and raising taxes on the wealthy and large corporations, according to a Democrat briefed on those talks. The two lawmakers have been negotiating for months over a package that’s been expected to reach around $1 trillion over 10 years, with about half used to reduce federal deficits.
Manchin said Democrats should wait until July figures on inflation are available, which would occur in August. He also wants lawmakers to assess the next actions the Federal Reserve will take on interest rates as it struggles to tame rising prices while avoiding a recession.
“Let’s wait until that comes out so we know we’re going down the path that won’t be inflammatory to add more to inflation,” Manchin said on “Talkline,” a West Virginia talk radio show hosted by Hoppy Kercheval.
Support from Manchin, one of his party’s more conservative members of Congress, will make or break any measure Democrats can produce in the evenly divided Senate. While he has expressed concerns for months about moving ahead with a measure that could intensify inflation, his latest demands come days after the government said consumer costs rose last month at an annual rate of 9.1%, the steepest increase since 1981.
Democrats want to reach agreement on a package and push it through Congress before lawmakers begin an August recess. The measure faces certain unanimous opposition from Republicans.
Delaying action until after the break would leave Democrats facing a dangerously ticking clock. Special budget powers expire Oct. 1 that would let them push the legislation through the 50-50 Senate over solid GOP opposition with Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote.
That would pose a risk that any Democratic absences because of COVID-19 or any other reason would leave them short of the votes they need. It would also push congressional action until just weeks before the November elections, when any votes can be quickly spun into a damaging campaign attack ad.

This is Aged in Kentucky, a series of stories about people and places that have been in the Bluegrass State a few years or many decades. Each one has a unique spirit.
Michael Johnathon is a folksinger and creator and host of the ‘WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour.’ It’s a radio and TV show recorded weekly in front of a live audience at the Lyric Theatre in Lexington and broadcast on more than 500 radio stations, Armed Forces Radio network and PBS stations across America.
More than 1,000 WoodSongs shows have been recorded, so far, all produced completely by volunteers.
Michael Johnathon grew up in New York’s Hudson Valley. His neighbor was the legendary folksinger Pete Seeger.
Johnathon came to Kentucky more than 30 years ago and planted deep roots in the Bluegrass State.
The WoodSongs community has grown into network of ‘front porch pickers’ and listeners who enjoy grassroots and Americana music.
WKU Public Radio reporter Rhonda Miller talked with Michael Johnathon on a Monday evening in April 2022 at the taping of a WoodSongs show.
"My whole career has been to do things with music, not sell things."
Johnathon: I grew up in New York, born there. And my family moved to upstate along the Hudson River, a little town called Beacon, New York right along 90. The Hudson River was about a mile wide. And our neighbor was a very interesting fella. He was an older guy, but he claimed to be a musician, but he played the banjo, and to us little rock and roll kids, you know, unless you can plug it in, it's not a real instrument. So that was all fine and good. I graduated high school and a friend of mine says “Hey, come to the Mexican border where I am and we can hang out.” So, I left New York and went to Laredo, Texas right on the Rio Grande. I was anticipating seeing this amazing Rio Grande River where people are coming across and swimming to freedom, into their new life in America. And I don't know, where I was the Hudson River was a mile wide and I finally get to the Rio Grande River, it's a creek. They're walking across this thing and I was like, Oh my gosh. So, I got a little job at a radio station, midnight to 6am in Laredo, Texas, KVOZ- AM. And a few months into it, I had to play what they call an oldies song. And I pulled out by happenstance, Roger McGuinn and the Byrds, a song called “Turn, Turn, Turn,” to everything turn, turn, turn, there is... And I noticed on the song information that it was written by my neighbor. And I was like, oh, that's who Pete Seeger is. And so I called him up and I said, “Pete, I said, I just found out you're Pete Seeger.” And he's like, long pause, and he goes, “Well, I have been all my life.”
And we talked about his music and what I saw him do when I was a kid, and I said, “I don't know where the idea came from. It's like a musical evangelical moment. I want to be a folk singer.” And he says, “Well, you need to go to the Appalachian mountains.” He said, “Don't go to school. Don't think you can go on the road. Don't copy anybody. Go to the mountains and learn America's music.”
Miller: How old were you when you had this great awakening?
Johnathon: By that time 21or 22 years old.
Miller: And had you heard Pete Seeger play much when you lived? Was he like, right near you, next door? Where was he compared to where you lived?
Johnathon: He was next door to me, next door in our family on the mountain along 90 in Beacon. And yeah, I saw him as a kid, you know, playing little concerts or school would come out and I thought, we just gonna go see this old guy, you know, to us he was old, you know, with a banjo and I didn't care. It got us out of math class. So, I was fine with it, but it wasn't impacting me in any way. And when I realized who he was, I was like shocked because I knew him. But I didn't know him. Didn't know who he was. And so, we talked and I ended up moving to a little hamlet in the mountains called Mousie, Kentucky M-O-U-S-I-E. Mousie, it's a little hamlet in Knott County. It's a couple mountains away from Minnie, Kentucky.
Miller: Minnie and Mousie, sounds like a couple.
Johnathon: This is real though. I was there for two-and-a-half years. I went up and down the mountains with my guitar and banjo in the all the hollers, knocking on doors and having all these front porch hootenannies and people teaching me their old songs.
"I don't want to sell a million records. I want to move a million hearts."
I was harmless. I was just a long-haired kid. I wasn't trying to change anything. I just wanted them to show me their music and they loved that.
Miller: How did you find or how did you pick out Mousie?
Johnathon: Well, I went to visit some friends of mine in Isom, Kentucky in Letcher County and southeast of Hazard, just near Whitesburg. And there's this little place here called Appalshop. So, I went to see Appalshop and they had a film there called “Handbuilt.” And it's a film of a man who gets up in the morning, makes his coffee, goes out in the woods with an axe, beats on a bunch of trees and you watch him and he's making a rocking chair. And by the end of this 30-minute film, you realize that you're sitting in the rocking chair that he was making in the film. And I was like, I'm living a page out of Mother Earth News. This is amazing. And a friend of mine and I went out to dinner and we passed by a sign that said Mousie on route 80. And I was like, I want to be Michael Jonathan, the unknown folk singer from Mousie, Kentucky. And I achieved my dream.
Miller: Oh my gosh, did you play guitar like in high school or with bands? Or you said you were like a rock-and-roll kid, did you? What started you, your parents or anybody?
Johnathon: An injury, an injury in my stepfather's garden shop. And I fell and reached against the wall to brace my fall and I ran my left arm down a tree saw. And it shredded the nerve in my left hand and the doctor prescribed the guitar as physical therapy for a teenage kid who didn't want to do physical therapy.
Miller: What a brilliant doctor.
Johnathon: He started everything for me. I don't remember his name, but that's how it happened.
Miller: Wow. That's interesting. So when you went to Mousie, and you know you were going up and down with your guitar and banjo, did people welcome you? Because, you know, as I heard you say on one show, you're from New York, and don't hold that against you. I mean, did people welcome you?
Johnathon: Completely. Yeah, yeah. You know, what I learned, living in the mountains that these are, these are hard- orking, brilliant. They may not be educated, but they are brilliant. They have been through a lot. They've learned to design a life in a mountain culture that most people could not survive. And that takes a lot of motivation and intelligence and hard work. And I discovered a story that I wrote a movie script and has just been optioned as a motion picture, the story of Alice Lloyd. If you go to CaneyCreekmovie.com. She went to the mountains in 1915. As an outsider from Boston, she went there to die. She moved south to a warmer climate to maybe live longer. And she started a little school. A mountain man named Bisha Johnson heard that this outsider woman moved into Knott County and he had a dream that he she would teach his children to read. And he woke up from his dream in February in the middle of the night, barefoot crossed two mountains, barefoot because his shoes fell off while he was going over the mountains in a snowstorm, collapses through her door, begs her to come to Caney Creek, and if she does, he would give her his land as payment to teach his children. Today, a Bisha Johnson's land is the campus property of Alice Lloyd College. And what happened to them over the course of time, it culminated on the school being saved on national television on NBC, in 1955, on a show called “This Is Your Life,” run by Ralph Edwards. And at the end of the show, he turns to the audience and for the first time in TV history says, “Send her a dollar.” And that saved Alice Lloyd College. And it showed her thing was be so proud of your home that you don't leave. And she appealed to the core love of the people in Appalachia. You know, they're presenting the Caney Creek movie as the “Dances with Wolves of Appalachia,” and that it doesn't make fun of people in Kentucky. It does not have cliches. It does not present them as hillbillies or inbred people. These are these are brilliant, hard-working, there was a reason for them to do what they did to survive. And the Caney Creek movie is a praise of the Appalachian people through the story of Alice Lloyd.
Miller: So, you wrote a movie script?
Johnathon: Yes. Go to CaneyCreekmovie.com and you get to see the clip of her on “This Is Your Life.”
Miller: Oh, that's gonna be fun. Did you ever go back to New York? Or did you stay in Kentucky? Or how has Kentucky sort of kept you here?
Johnathon: You know, I believe in the spirit of America's front porch. I believe that never before in the history and modern times, especially in America, has the spirit of the front porch been so needed. And that's what I was learning in those East Kentucky mountains. And I started singing about the earth and the environment and tradition and nature and seeing the reaction of people who by their own legacy loved those things in an American culture that was urban, that did not appreciate those things. And I was like, that should be the theme of my career. I don't want to sell a million records. I want to move a million hearts. And my whole career has been to do things with the music, not sell things. And so WoodSongs is a good example. It's worldwide, based in Lexington, and along the foothills of Appalachian, but it's all volunteer, nobody in WoodSongs gets paid a penny, you know, not even the artists who come on the show. And as we're taping this, John McEuen, co-founder of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is on the show. He's not getting a penny. You know, all the artists that have been on the show, whether it's a Bela Fleck or Judy Collins or Roger McGuinn or Chris Thile has been on seven times, you know, none of them get paid a penny. So WoodSongs is a gift and it goes free to radio, it's free to all our affiliates and over 500 radio stations.
Miller: How did you come up with WoodSongs? You're the creator of it. Like what was the sort of moment you thought this is it, this is the show I'm going to do and it's going to be, you know, recorded once a week?
Johnathon: It's a two-fold answer. I was on tour with Judy Collins. I was her opening act and we were doing these major outdoor amphitheaters. We were going to the Lavinia Amphitheater in Chicago, which was a brilliant place, was the day after a Baryshnikov danced. So, it was very exciting. And on the way there in the Town Car that was driving us, they had on the radio station,a show called “Prairie Home Companion.” And a friend of mine was on the show, fella named Sam Bush.
And I was like, well, wouldn't it be neat to have a show like that? But without the stories? What if it was just about the music? And I was like, how hard can it be to start a live audience radio broadcast for syndication? So, I got back to Lexington and we found a little studio. Kevin Johnson, a friend of mine, had a studio and we started on Monday night and we had about 12 people and one radio station willing to air it.
Miller: When was this?
Johnathon: 1999. We're doing show 1040 tonight, so we've been at it for a while, but I will say this. There is no other community in the nation, except the one here in Kentucky, that a broadcast like WoodSongs could exist in the format that it is, with everybody working for free and the artists coming for free and the theater is donated amd the hotel rooms are donated, and it goes free to Public Radio, free to American Forces Radio Network, free to the schools with lesson plans, free to PBS, free to RFD television.
Miller: You send it to schools with lesson plans?
Johnathon: Yes. Go to the classroom page at WoodSongs.com and you'll see a whole array of WoodSongs broadcasts. If you want your kids to find out about the banjo, I got Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn. You want them to find out about the guitar, who better than Tommy Emanuel? You know, you want them to find out about the mandolin, Sam Bush. Traditional American jazz, Preservation Hall Jazz Band. And all of these folks have been on WoodSongs and there's lesson plans, middle, high college level classes. During the pandemic thousands and thousands of homeschool parents used WoodSongs because their kids could not get to art and music class, because everybody was staying home.
Miller: That's fantastic. So how long have you been in Kentucky now? And I assume you're pretty deeply rooted here now.
Johnathon: Kentucky is my home. I figure another 30 years I'll be local. But I've been here since 1986 when I moved from Laredo. and my children have been born here. They're Kentuckians. I'm transplanted, but I'm homegrown. And Kentucky to me is the rocking chair of America's front porch. To me Kentucky is the rural representation of the music and the art and the community and culture that built America. It's not in the urban centers. The urban centers were built from what Kentucky is, what West Virginia is, with Tennessee, and southern Indiana. This is the region that built America. And it's the source of its folk music and its legacy. The imagery of Abraham Lincoln in the log cabin, pulling up his bootstraps. It's all here, this is it. This is the area and this is my home.
Miller: How old are you now, may I ask?
Johnathon: 53.
Miller: You've been in Kentucky since you were in your 20s?
Johnathon: Yeah, I left Laredo when I was 21. So, you know and Kentucky has been very generous, not just the community that does things like WoodSongs or the Song Farmers community or the Troubadour concert series, my career. You know, it's all coming from here. But, you know, the state of Kentucky gave me the Milner Award, which is that's something that Wendell Berry and Jean Ritchie and people like that get, you know, and they're Kentuckians, I'm not originally from here, but they awarded me the Milner Award, which is a very high honor. It's a very prestigious thing. I'm not saying that to brag, I'm saying that to show the open arms and acceptance Kentucky has for people in their community that are trying to do good things.
Miller: You travel all over the world, I guess, performing?
Johnathon: Yes. Yeah, I am a working, traveling folksinger.
Miller: And when you travel and people ask you about Kentucky, what do you say generally? Is there a sort of a common line or theme you tell them about? I'm sure they asked you what it's like, and they probably imagine, like, I live in Bowling Green and people think I live in Appalachia, you know, because I'm in Kentucky. What do you tell people?
Johnathon: I tell them that I live in a garden called Kentucky. And I tell them that it is the rocking chair of America's front porch. And I live in a log cabin on seven acres. And I would not have any of that if it was not for the culture and community of Kentucky, because this is my home.
Miller: So, I saw that the SongFarmers conference gathering is coming up. Did you start that? I hadn't been aware of that. What is that?
Johnathon: You know, artists come on with songs because it's a gateway to the audience. It's important because there are no music record store chains left in America. They're gone. People don't buy CDs anymore. There's no CD players in cars anymore. There's no CD players in computers anymore. It's hard for musicians to meet their audience. You can get a half page story in a local newspaper, and nobody sees it. I'm not knocking newspapers. I'm trying to demonstrate how important it is that we have them, but we're losing them. It's not a good thing that we're losing them.
Miller: It's really different with CDs not really being in cars or computers anymore.
Johnathon: Those are the financial transactions that pay an artist’s rent or put gas in their car, or pays for their motel room, on their way to someplace else. And without that it's hard for them to make a living. So, I created SongFarmers as an alternative for those brilliant, passionate artists who are not going to get signed to a record label because there are no more record labels. They're not going to get signed to a booking agent because the venues are shutting down. They're not going to get famous. They're going to be musicians home, so now what do you do with all that heart and passion? SongFarmers. SongFarmers is what we call people who who want to make their home, their lives, their families, their communities better. And right now, there's 86 active chapters. One just opened up in Cork, Ireland. Another one is starting in Canada and other ones’ starting in Australia. And what they do is once a month gather their family and friends together. They sit in a big circle and they sing songs for an hour or two together as a group. Little tiny Tellico Plains, Tennessee started in a living room. Cabot, Arkansas, a tiny little peanut of a community in Arkansas started in Jim Talbot’s living room with just his friends, and grew so big that the public library's hosting them and the local banks had sent food trucks to accommodate the folks coming. I mean, music is supposed to be free. And it wasn't until we started to sell it that it became a commodity. And the music business outgrew its commodity. And that left artists with no way out.
Miller: So how long have the SongFarmers been going on? Like, when did you start that? And I see that there's a I don't what to call it, a gathering coming up in in April, at the end of April.
Johnathon: Every year, there's a yearly gathering where SongFarmers from all over the nation come and every evening there's a free public concert, anybody can come to it. SongFarmers are brilliant musicians and they're going to put on a big public concert for everybody. But during the day there's workshops and films and song jams and music circles and music lessons for everybody. And the SongFarmers gathering has happened in Kentucky every single year for how many years?
Johnathon: Six years. This is our sixth one.
Miller: You created this too?
Johnathon: I did, on my couch.
Miller: Yeah, so you're creating a lot of gatherings places for people to come and hear music and you have CDs right, several CDs.
Johnathon: My 19th album is just being released, as we're speaking, really It's called “Afterburn: Folk at the Arena Level.” It's me and a rock band and a
61- piece symphony orchestra presenting folk music in a very exciting format. It's to attract the rock audiences to the folk world.
Miller: What kind of songs are on there?
Johnathon: You know, the opening song is called “Techno Folk.” It's a march of America's history. It's a song that makes fun of the news cycle. And it's a remake of “Patty Works the Railroad,” which is an old Irish balla and it's a screamer. But it's just me and my long neck banjo with a rock band and big symphony orchestra
Miller: Sounds like fun. So, anything else you would like to say about music or folk music? Because a lot of people, and when I did a folk music show as a volunteer, they assumed all the folk musicians, the folk music people were old, like they were, you know, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger. And they’d just assume that there weren't new folk musicians coming up.
Johnathon: You know, on every WordSongs broadcast we have a young kid, every single show. Tonight we have a little 12-year-old girl who picks the guitar like Tony Rice. And not only she's going to be the WoodSongs kid, but she's going to play a song with John McEuan, one that you know, “Will the Circle will be Unbroken”? Well, you know, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, John McEuen, she's going to get to play with him on a national broadcast. I believe in the passion of America's front porch. And there's nobody that deserves to be welcomed to that front porch more than the kids. Love is the greatest transaction of the arts. It's not money. It's not publicity. It's not sponsorship. It's not your connections. It's love. Love has to be the driving force of everything we do. And if it's not there, you have missed the reason folk music exists, or any art form. Vincent van Gogh tried to give away the Starry Night three times, and was turned down three times, because they didn't like it. The only thing that kept Vincent van Gogh moving forward in his life was that he loved what he did. Whether or not you did or not was not the point. He loved it. And today, the Starry Night is insured for well over $1 billion. But when he was alive, he couldn't even give it away. Couldn't even give it away. And so that is a statement on all of us as artists, no matter what your art form, unless you are based in love for the people who hear you or watch you, your family, your friends, especially your community, then you're not you're not doing it for the right reason.
Miller: How do you think you've found that or felt that or, you know, realize that to keep it going all this time? Well, did it strike you at some point as a teenager or learning music or traveling around Appalachia?
Johnathon: When I realized who Pete Seeger was and I saw what he did with the Clearwater trying to clean up the Hudson River. The idea that you could make a boat and put some singers on it and pull up to a dock somewhere and do a free concert off the dock. Free. And people would come to the shore of the river to see the concert and notice how dirty the river was. That using music for something good would cause reaction. And the clean water line of the Hudson River has moved south over 50 miles because of what Pete Seeger did. And you can do that in Bowling Green. You can do that in Peoria. You can do that in West Virginia or Tucson. You know, love is the driving force of change. And this world needs that love more than ever. It needs the spirit of the front porch. It needs the artists to put money aside and put their heart and people first.
Miller: Well, Michael, thank you so much. That's a great way to look at life.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Jim Thorpe has been reinstated as the sole winner of the 1912 Olympic pentathlon and decathlon in Stockholm — nearly 110 years after being stripped of those gold medals for violations of strict amateurism rules of the time.
The International Olympic Committee announced the change Friday on the 110th anniversary of Thorpe winning the decathlon and later being proclaimed by King Gustav V of Sweden as “the greatest athlete in the world.”
Thorpe, a Native American, returned to a ticker-tape parade in New York, but months later it was discovered he had been paid to play minor-league baseball over two summers, an infringement of the Olympic amateurism rules. He was stripped of his gold medals in what was described as the first major international sports scandal.
Thorpe to some remains the greatest all-around athlete ever. He was voted as the Associated Press’ Athlete of the Half Century in a poll in 1950.
In 1982 — 29 years after Thorpe’s death — the IOC gave duplicate gold medals to his family but his Olympic records were not reinstated, nor was his status as the sole gold medalist of the two events.
Two years ago, a Bright Path Strong petition advocated declaring Thorpe the outright winner of the pentathlon and decathlon in 1912. The IOC had listed him as a co-champion in the official record book.
“We welcome the fact that, thanks to the great engagement of Bright Path Strong, a solution could be found,” IOC President Thomas Bach said. “This is a most exceptional and unique situation, which has been addressed by an extraordinary gesture of fair play from the National Olympic Committees concerned.”
Breaking News
Thorpe’s Native American name, Wa-Tho-Huk, means “Bright Path.” The organization with the help of IOC member Anita DeFrantz had contacted the Swedish Olympic Committee and the family of Hugo Wieslander, who had been elevated to decathlon gold medalist in 1913.
“They confirmed that Wieslander himself had never accepted the Olympic gold medal allocated to him, and had always been of the opinion that Jim Thorpe was the sole legitimate Olympic gold medallist,” the IOC said, adding that the Swedish Olympic Committee agreed.
“The same declaration was received from the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports, whose athlete, Ferdinand Bie, was named as the gold medalist when Thorpe was stripped of the pentathlon title,” the IOC said.
Bie will be listed as the silver medalist in the pentathlon, and Wieslander with silver in the decathlon.
World Athletics, the governing body of track and field, has also agreed to amend its records, the IOC said.
Thorpe tripled the score of his nearest competitor in the pentathlon and had 688 more points than the second-place finisher in the decathlon.
During the closing ceremony, King Gustav V told Thorpe: “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” | https://www.dailypress.com/sports/national-sports/ct-jim-thorpe-1912-olympics-20220715-noacueqcbzcetbgmrj4gnkdpki-story.html | 2022-07-15T18:05:21Z | https://www.dailypress.com/sports/national-sports/ct-jim-thorpe-1912-olympics-20220715-noacueqcbzcetbgmrj4gnkdpki-story.html | false | 36 |

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A judge has consolidated hundreds of lawsuits alleging physical and sexual abuse at New Hampshire’s youth detention center, more than two years after the first case was filed.
David Meehan sued the state, the youth center, agencies that oversee it and multiple former employees in January 2020, alleging that he endured near-daily rapes and beatings at the Youth Development Center in Manchester in the 1990s. At the time, he was one of about three dozen men and women who had come forward, but since then, about 450 have filed lawsuits alleging abuse by 150 staffers over six decades.
The civil litigation has largely been on hold since 11 former youth workers were arrested last year, but a judge last week kicked it into high gear with an order setting out the consolidation process.

While consolidation brings the “the risk of cookie cutter dispositions,” proceeding with individual cases would present a “backbreaking clerical burden” for the court, said Merrimack County Superior Court Judge Andrew Schulman. The state is expected to produce more than 3 million pages of documents in the initial discovery phase. Discovery likely will take several months, and groups of cases will be combined for joint trials, lawyers said.
Attorney Rus Rilee, who represents all but a handful of the plaintiffs, on Friday filed a “master complaint” covering the allegations and legal claims that are common to his clients. He said he expects to file individual complaints for about 700 clients in the next 30 days.
“We are excited that we are now moving into the discovery phase of these lawsuits, so we can begin to take depositions and release documents to the public to shine a light on decades of systemic governmental child abuse, with the hope of preventing these atrocities from ever happening to another child in the custody of the state,” he said Monday.
The master complaint describes the history of the facility from 1850s onward, portraying it as a place where “violence, abuse and neglect simmered just beneath the surface,” while those in power “consistently turned their backs on the children.”
It alleges that multiple employees not only failed to take action to stop abuse but actively concealed it.
“More than that, State Defendants, including agents and employees in supervisory positions, tolerated or ignored a general culture of violence, abuse, boundary crossing, and disrespect and antipathy toward the children in their custody, creating fertile ground for reasonably foreseeable individual acts of abuse to proliferate, persist, and be left unaddressed, thereby creating a cycle that perpetuated abuse,” the complaint states.
According to the complaint, each plaintiff suffered at least one form of physical, sexual or emotional abuse, was subject to neglect or excessive restraint or was deprived of an education. Examples of physical abuse include being pushed down stairs or slammed into walls; emotional abuse included forcing children to consume urine or garbage and encouraging a suicidal youth to “go for it.”
In hopes of avoiding lengthy litigation, the Legislature has created a $100 million fund for physical and sexual abuse victims. Victims will have two years to file claims, starting Jan. 1. Individual payments for sexual abuse will be limited to $1.5 million, while payments for physical abuse will be limited to $150,000. | https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/national/consolidated-youth-center-abuse-lawsuits-move-forward/article_4c8b7b22-8164-5252-85ae-ded0c82e81d9.html | 2022-07-15T18:07:23Z | https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/national/consolidated-youth-center-abuse-lawsuits-move-forward/article_4c8b7b22-8164-5252-85ae-ded0c82e81d9.html | false | 15 |
