President Joe Biden said on Friday that he will take executive action on climate change as talks among Senate Democrats on possible legislation faltered, and he encouraged them to pursue a smaller deal focused on health care, in part to lower health costs in the face of high inflation.
"I will not back down: the opportunity to create jobs and build a clean energy future is too important to relent," Biden said in a statement. "Health care is also critical... Families all over the nation will sleep easier if Congress takes this action. The Senate should move forward, pass it before the August recess, and get it to my desk so I can sign it."
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., delivered a serious blow to ongoing Senate negotiations for a Democratic budget package, telling Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday that he will not support a bill that includes climate or tax provisions — leaving slimmed-down legislation focused on health care.
The West Virginia Democrat favors a bill that would lower prescription drug prices and extend for two years health insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, which would prevent premium increases that many states are set to announce next month, according to a Democrat briefed on the conversation.
This could mean a standalone health care bill is within Democrats' reach. But this is far less than the $2 trillion package originally proposed, which would have added record funding to key areas of President Biden's domestic agenda, namely climate and social safety net programs.
No spending bill can advance without Manchin's support in the evenly divided Senate, and Schumer has been negotiating with the frequent holdout for weeks.
Manchin still open to a deal, but wants a check on spending amid high inflation
Manchin told Schumer he wanted to see the July inflation numbers before committing to a bigger package, he said on Friday.
If Schumer wanted to move forward immediately, Manchin told West Virginia radio host Hoppy Kercheval, a much slimmer bill on health care was his best option.
"He took that as 'no,' I guess," Manchin said.
Manchin also said he saw progress on the climate side of the talks, despite disagreements about the magnitude of fossil fuel cuts, and he wanted to look at passing a bill in September. He added he did not want to stop future negotiations.
"I would not put my staff through this — I would not put myself through this — if I wasn't sincere about trying to find a pathway forward to do something that's good for our country," he said.
Earlier this week, the conservative Democrat had expressed worries about increasing government spending, and putting more dollars into the economy, as the United States faces its worst inflation in decades.
"While Washington seems to now understand this reality, it is time for us to work together to get unnecessary spending under control, produce more energy at home and take more active and serious steps to address this record inflation that now poses a clear and present danger to our economy," he said in a statement on Wednesday, after the government's report for June consumer spending showed the highest inflation in 40 years.
"No matter what spending aspirations some in Congress may have, it is clear to anyone who visits a grocery store or a gas station that we cannot add any more fuel to this inflation fire."
Another obstacle to Biden's climate agenda
Biden has vowed to use the "whole of government" to combat climate change, aiming to halve greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by 2030. That would be in line with what an international consortium of scientists say is necessary to fend off the worst impacts of climate change.
But the political divide in Congress has thrown up obstacles to achieving that aim, and the conservative-majority Supreme Court has made it harder for the Biden administration to tackle climate change on its own.
Since mid-2021, Senate Democrats and the Biden administration have repeatedly entered into negotiations with Manchin to advance action on climate change, only to have him shoot down the proposals.
Manchin's home state of West Virginia faces grave threats from floods supercharged by climate change. At the same time, it is a major producer of coal and natural gas. Manchin himself has personal financial ties to the coal industry, and he has gotten more campaign donations from the fossil fuel sector than any other senator.
Without Manchin's support, Congress is unlikely to fork over a substantial investment in climate policy before the midterm elections, when the balance of power is expected to tip to Republicans and put climate legislation off for several more years.
Massive spending on things like subsidizing renewable power generation and electric vehicles would have brought greenhouse gas reduction goals within reach, according to a 2021 analysis by the Rhodium Group.
"Absent new legislation, the renewable sector will not grow at the pace needed to address the climate imperative," said Gregory Wetstone, president and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), after news broke that Manchin was seeking to trim the spending bill.
While the federal government can still use regulations to reduce carbon pollution, a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision barred agencies from enacting particularly aggressive federal climate standards, further limiting the White House's options.
Sen. Ron Wyden, a top Democrat on environment and finance issues, expressed "disappointment" at the news that the climate portion of the package could be scrapped.
"We can't come back in another decade and forestall hundreds of billions — if not trillions — of economic damage and undo the inevitable toll," he said in a statement late Thursday night, when news of Manchin's change of heart was first reported by the Washington Post.
Democrats have been wrestling to get Manchin on board with their budget proposals since last fall. In December, he announced he would not vote for the $2 trillion proposal, which at the time was an already slimmed-down version from the original bill and included $555 billion in climate and energy spending.

(KTLA) – Amid stubbornly high inflation, average paychecks will rise by about 4% next year, according to a survey of employers by consulting firm Willis Towers Watson.
However, a 4% wage hike — the largest in 15 years — won’t do much to alleviate inflation currently running at a 40-year high of 9.1%.
In other words, despite modest efforts by employers to keep workers’ compensation in line with the economy, many will effectively experience a pay cut and diminished purchasing power.
“Compounding economic conditions and new ways of working are leading organizations to continually reassess their salary budgets to remain competitive,” Hatti Johansson, a research director at Willis Towers Watson, said in a statement.
More than a third of the roughly 1,400 organizations surveyed said they plan to give raises more frequently than in the past, with many saying they probably will give workers two salary bumps next year.
More than two-thirds of respondents said they’re aiming to boost employee satisfaction with more remote work.
Unlike the private sector, the Social Security Administration sets annual cost-of-living adjustments for beneficiaries based on the inflation rate.
The nonpartisan Senior Citizens League estimates that Social Security recipients will receive a 10.5% cost-of-living adjustment for 2023. That would translate to average monthly checks climbing by about $175 to $1,668.
While higher healthcare costs will put a dent in that increase, this is a fair way of helping people weather inflationary storms. | https://fox8.com/news/paychecks-projected-to-rise-an-average-of-4-percent-this-year-survey-finds/ | 2022-07-15T21:22:38Z | https://fox8.com/news/paychecks-projected-to-rise-an-average-of-4-percent-this-year-survey-finds/ | true | 18 |

DEAR ABBY: My husband, my child and I have moved six times over an eight-year period. Some of the moves were within months of each other. All of them were for financial or emotional reasons. The last one took us an hour and a half away from where we had been living for many years. We had formed relationships there, and our child had built friendships. We loved the area and school. We decided to buy a house after renting, but we struggled to find a place in our price range. Instead, we found one back in an old area we liked.
We have been here three months now, and we all regret the move. We miss our old friends, our child misses the old school and we are unhappy in the new house. I think my child and I may have developed depression. Our child's grades have slipped, and they have made no new friends.
We are debating returning to the area we loved so much. Family and friends are giving us grief about all the moves, and I know they'll do it again. We are at a loss as to why we moved away and would like an outside honest opinion. Is it OK to move back to an area we loved and established roots in? -- WANDERING IN INDIANA
DEAR WANDERING: You state that finances had a lot to do with your nomadic lifestyle. That's a valid reason for moving. I do not think you should quickly move again. All of the moves you mentioned may be the reason your child is having difficulty establishing friendships, which takes time. The administrators at your child's new school may be able to help if you explain to them what you think is going on.
As to your own depression, if you can afford it, I'm suggesting some sessions with a licensed psychologist or social worker for the time being. If, after that, your family still cannot adjust, return to the community from which you came without making apologies to anyone (and with my blessing).
DEAR ABBY: I've been married to my husband for 21 years. I learned only a few days ago that he has a 9-year-old daughter from an affair he had. I never knew he'd been unfaithful. I'm disgusted about what he did. Now he wants his daughter to move in with us! I don't hate her, but I'm not crazy about children.
Also, I'm the only one in the household who is employed. He doesn't even try to find a job, and I'm treated like this live-in housekeeper, cleaning up his messes, etc. He refuses to help with housework. If the kid moves in, I'll be cleaning up after two people, plus trying to cope with anxiety and depression due to past trauma.
I can only take so much. He keeps harassing me about having her stay, and he says that if I don't accept her, I don't accept him. I'm ready to ask him to leave, but what should I really do? -- FED UP IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR FED UP: After 21 years of carrying the entire load for your freeloader husband, rather than shoulder even more responsibility by taking in this child, what you should really do is consult a lawyer. It's time you started taking care of YOURSELF, because by now it should be apparent that he never will. | https://lompocrecord.com/lifestyles/columnist/dear_abby/dear-abby-family-struggles-to-grow-roots-amid-frequent-moves/article_24683f9f-bdc7-5191-bdc5-df10895de5d5.html | 2022-07-15T21:28:28Z | https://lompocrecord.com/lifestyles/columnist/dear_abby/dear-abby-family-struggles-to-grow-roots-amid-frequent-moves/article_24683f9f-bdc7-5191-bdc5-df10895de5d5.html | true | 20 |
Saudi Arabia: Biden raised Khashoggi murder with crown prince
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Joe Biden46th president of the United States since 2021
- Jamal KhashoggiSaudi journalist (1958-2018)
US President Joe Biden says he raised the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi during a meeting with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.
Mr Biden is in Saudi Arabia to rebuild relations, having previously promised to make the country a "pariah" over its human rights record.
He said he had made it clear the killing was "vitally important to me and the United States".
But he also said the two countries reached agreements on other issues.
Mr Biden's visit has been criticised as validating the Saudi government following the murder of the US-based dissident journalist Mr Khashoggi in 2018.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was accused by US intelligence agencies of approving the murder.
The prince has always denied the allegations, and Saudi prosecutors blamed "rogue" Saudi agents.
"With respect to the murder of Khashoggi, I raised it at the top of the meeting, making it clear what I thought of it at the time and what I think of it now," Mr Biden said in a press briefing after the meeting.
"I said very straightforwardly, 'for an American president to be silent on an issue of human rights is inconsistent with who we are and who I am. I'll always stand up for our values'."
Prior to the meeting Mr Biden was pictured fist-bumping the crown prince, indicating an apparent warming of relations between the two countries.
But Mr Khashoggi's fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, criticised the president's actions. Tweeting a photo of the two men along with the words she imagined her fiancé would have said, she wrote: "Is this the accountability you promised for my murder? The blood of MBS's next victim is on your hands."
Other than Mr Khashoggi's murder, President Biden announced Saudi Arabia's move to open its air space to aircraft flying to and from Israel, which was previously banned.
He also said they had discussed energy - a hot topic in the US - and that he expected to see Saudi Arabia, a major oil producer, take "further steps" to stabilise the market in the coming weeks. | https://news.yahoo.com/saudi-arabia-biden-raised-khashoggi-202944558.html | 2022-07-15T21:28:38Z | https://news.yahoo.com/saudi-arabia-biden-raised-khashoggi-202944558.html | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — The watchdog for the Department of Homeland Security on Friday briefed all nine members of the House committee investigating the U.S. Capitol attack about his finding that the Secret Service deleted texts from around Jan. 6, according to two people familiar with the matter.
While lawmakers were tight-lipped about what they heard, the closed-door briefing with the inspector general, Joseph Cuffari, came two days after his office sent a letter to leaders of the House and Senate Homeland Security committees stating that Secret Service agents erased messages between Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021 “as part of a device-replacement program.” The deletion came after the watchdog office requested records from the agents as part of its probe into events surrounding the Jan. 6 attack, the letter said.
For the Jan. 6 panel, the watchdog’s finding raised the startling prospect of lost evidence that could shed further light on Donald Trump’s actions during the insurrection.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democratic chairman of the House Jan. 6 panel, told the Associated Press on Friday that the committee is taking a deeper look at whether records may have been lost. “There have been some conflicting positions on the matter,” the Mississippi lawmaker said.
The private briefing was confirmed by two people familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss it.
The Secret Service insists proper procedures were followed. Agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, “The insinuation that the Secret Service maliciously deleted text messages following a request is false. In fact, the Secret Service has been fully cooperating with the OIG in every respect — whether it be interviews, documents, emails, or texts.”
He said the Secret Service had started to reset its mobile devices to factory settings in January 2021 “as part of a pre-planned, three-month system migration.” In that process, some data was lost.
The inspector general has first requested the electronic communications on Feb. 26, “after the migration was well under way,” Guglielmi said.
The Secret Service said it has provided a substantial number of emails and chat messages that included conversations and details related to Jan. 6 to the inspector general. It also said text messages from the Capitol Police requesting assistance on Jan. 6 were preserved and provided to the inspector general’s office.
The Senate Homeland committee, which has jurisdiction over the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service, is also expecting a briefing from the inspector general about the letter, according to a person familiar with the committee’s discussions who was not authorized to discuss them publicly.
The Jan. 6 committee has taken a renewed interest in the Secret Service following the dramatic testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who recalled what she heard about former President Donald Trump’s actions the day of the insurrection.
Hutchinson recalled being told about a confrontation between Trump and his Secret Service detail as he angrily demanded to be driven to the Capitol, where his supporters would later breach the building. She also recalled overhearing Trump telling security officials to remove magnetometers for his rally on the Ellipse even though some of his supporters were armed.
Some details of that account were quickly disputed by those agents. Robert Engel, the agent who was driving the presidential SUV, and Trump security official Tony Ornato are willing to testify under oath that no agent was assaulted and Trump never lunged for the steering wheel, a person familiar with the matter told the AP. The person would not discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
With evidence still emerging, the House Jan. 6 committee on Friday officials scheduled its next hearing to take place Thursday in primetime. The 8 p.m. hearing, which is the eighth in a series that began in early June, will take a deeper look into the three-hour-plus stretch when Trump failed to act as a mob of supporters stormed the Capitol.
It will be the first hearing in prime time since June 9, the first on the committee’s findings. It was viewed by 20 million people.

Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly prefers a move to Napoli as he looks to move on in order for more playing time.
It was reported by Fabrizio Romano that the Ivorian international would be one of the players leaving this summer transfer window.
Recently, rumours have ramped up and it is looking increasingly likely that Bailly will be leaving soon.
The 28-year-old joined the club in 2016, making 70 appearances in the league and scoring one goal.
Bailly has had a horrific time with injuries since his arrival to England and hasn’t kicked on since returning to full fitness.
Last season, he was used as an emergency player, only making one appearance in the Champions League throughout Ralf Rangnick’s reign as interim manager.
According to Gianluca Vitale, an Italian Journalist, Bailly prefers Napoli over Galatasaray S.K. and Fenerbahçe.
@ManUtd Eric #Bailly prefers @SSCNapoli to @GalatasaraySK and @Fenerbahce, possible on free loan + buy option, contacts ongoing
Bailly preferirebbe il Napoli a club turchi, nome concreto con Kim e Diallo #transfer #PremierLeague @areanapoliit— Gianluca Vitale (@gVitale_AN) July 15, 2022
Vitale said in a tweet, “Eric Bailly prefers @SSCNapoli to @GalatasaraySK and @Fenerbahce”
“Possible on free loan + buy option, contacts ongoing”
It is looking likely that Bailly will spend the upcoming season away on loan with a view of making the deal a permanent switch.
The Ivorian will be on the hunt for playing time as he is at the peak of his career and hasn’t had a look in competitively with Man United.
Many fans will be sad to hear that Bailly could be leaving this summer after some glowing performances throughout the years.
It is clear though that injuries didn’t help him along the way with some of the club’s previous managers not trusting him enough to earn his spot in the starting lineup.

ITHACA, N.Y. (WETM) — Three men were arrested in Ithaca early this morning on charges of criminal possession of stolen property, according to the Ithaca Police department.
According to the arrest report, Cameron McCaffery, Joshua Walsh, and Vincent Freeman were arrested after IPD officers responded to a report of three males with face masks allegedly pushing a motorcycle into the back of a box truck.
IPD said that upon arrival, they observed all three males in the cab of the box truck. Responding IPD officers said that further investigation revealed 2 motorcycles in the storage area. After one of the motorcycles was confirmed to be stolen, all three were deemed to be in possession of stolen property.
All three men were charged with Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the third degree and arraigned in the Ithaca City Court.
IPD says that Joshua Walsh was released on his recognizance due to these charges not being bail eligible. According to the arrest report, Cameron McCaffery, who was currently wanted on multiple warrants, was taken to the Tompkins County Jail on $5,000 bail and $10,000 bond. Freeman was taken to the Tompkins County Jail without bail.
IPD said that they are currently looking for the owner of the second motorcycle. Any witnesses of this incident are encouraged to contact the Ithaca Police Department via the following means:

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Jessica Treviño’s 11-year-old daughter was attending Robb Elementary School on May 24, when a gunman fatally shot 19 children and two teachers. She was not physically hurt. But in the nearly two months since, she has suffered from anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder — conditions that have required up to $1,500 a week in physical and emotional care.
The Treviños currently qualify for some of the millions of dollars that have been raised to help shooting victims and survivors — but they haven’t seen any of it yet. Such funds normally take months to administer and distribute. That reality has not been conveyed effectively, however, to families in dire need of help now.
During a packed city council meeting in Uvalde on Tuesday, multiple people shouted out questions from their seats about why financial relief seemed to be taking so long. City leaders have offered little clarity — and seemed to be just as confused.
“These families cannot begin to heal unless they are given time to grieve free from financial worry,” Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin and state Sen. Roland Gutierrez stated in a letter sent last week to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The mayor and lawmaker said they had both received “numerous troubling reports” of people receiving insufficient financial resources aside from a two weeks’ bereavement benefit. They cited one family that was struggling to keep the lights on while a child was hospitalized.
At least $14 million has been raised in private and corporate donations for families affected by the shooting. All have been combined in the Uvalde Together We Rise fund, which will be administered by a local steering committee with guidance from national experts.
But creating a plan to ensure that the funds are distributed equitably and transparently takes time — usually months, noted Jeffery Dion, executive director of the National Compassion Fund. The nonprofit organization has helped distribute more than $105 million in donations for people affected by 23 other mass casualty incidents since 2014. Among them: mass shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in 2016; at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018; and at a Walmart in El Paso in 2019. In each of these cases, donations took multiple months to get to victims.
“It’s a gift, so there is no right or wrong answer, but the most important thing is that it is the local answer,” Dion said, adding that each local steering committee ultimately has the final say on the distribution plan.
Currently, funds are expected to be distributed to families starting Nov. 21, according to Mickey Gerdes, a local attorney who chairs the Uvalde committee in charge of donation allocation. Gerdes said a draft of the distribution plan is currently available to the community and will be finalized after public input.
In the meantime, the Treviños and many others have started GoFundMe pages and multiple donors and organizations have stepped in to provide immediate financial relief.
The Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department has written checks directly to 15 families of the injured, according to department president Patrick Williams. He said the organization initially received $21,000 through an annual fundraiser, which it decided to dedicate to the victims, and $49,000 through a related GoFundMe page, which closed June 1.
“At no point in time should we be talking about money and the loss of children’s life in the same sentence, but here we are and it has to be talked about,” Williams said, noting that the money his department has raised is helping families of the injured who have had to miss work and who are struggling with medical and everyday expenses.
“This has shown me the worst in man and the best in man,” Williams said.
The Treviño family’s GoFundMe page has raised more than $47,000. But, Jessica Treviño said traveling to San Antonio on a weekly basis for treatment while providing for her three other children is still a financial challenge for her and her husband.
“I also think that a lot of mental illness is pushed aside because of families like my own who have no help financially,” Treviño said.
Distributing the $14 million that is available through the other sources takes so long because each application must be vetted through medical and law records, according to Dion. He said families also need time to consult with pro-bono attorneys who can advise them about the best way the funds can be transferred — especially to minors — in accordance with local laws and without them losing any other public benefits they may already be receiving.
Applications to receive funds will be available online between Sept. 8 and Oct. 6. According to the current draft of the distribution plan, those eligible include legal heirs of the deceased, those who were either physically hurt or experienced psychological trauma, and students and staff who were present at the school when the shooting took place. | https://kfor.com/news/national/ap-us-news/uvalde-families-need-help-donations-take-months-to-deliver/ | 2022-07-15T21:35:21Z | https://kfor.com/news/national/ap-us-news/uvalde-families-need-help-donations-take-months-to-deliver/ | true | 23 |

Photographer Surjendu Sen trains his lenses on four Kolkata models
Despite a lack of support from his family, Krush Fashion World's fashion photographer Surjendu Sen, who had developed a deep sense of interest and love for photography since the age of 3, initially started taking photographs with his smartphone camera, "I enjoyed capturing nature through the lens. Then one of my friends bought a DSLR and he wanted me to click his pictures with the camera. That's how my journey began as a photographer.
Though he never had any professional training, Surjendu eagerly learnt everything on the job and from his seniors in the profession, who have been extremely helpful.
The things he likes to highlight in a particular frame depend on the subject he is working on and when it's fashion, there are no specific or particular features that fascinate him. According to Surjendu, the models whose pictures he has submitted for the column are all extremely committed to their work.
"Photography is both my professional and my passion. All I ever wanted to be is a good lensman and I now wish to make a unique mark in the world of fashion photography," tells Surjendu, who uses a Canon 5D Mark III & Sony A7 Mark III.

For traditional wear, Aakangsha loves saris, especially light silks with very ornate, gorgeous and eyecatching blouses in vibrant colours. "I like sequinned numbers which are high-neck and full-sleeve. My accessories have to be statement pieces in silver and I also love Afghani numbers for their coloured glasses. Makeup has to be nude since that gives a person a very strong sense of individuality.

Curtis Mayfield’s estate is giving fans the gift of a lifetime for the 50th anniversary of his pioneering album, Super Fly. The limited-edition capsule collection and vinyl re-release have officially dropped on Friday (July 15) to commemorate the feat.
Super Fly—the official soundtrack for the famed ’70s Blaxploitation film bearing the same name—has produced two RIAA Gold-certified singles: “Freddie’s Dead,” which is also Grammy-nominated and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and its title track, which peaked at No. 8. The LP was created by Mayfield using the film’s script as a guide. As Mayfield’s third studio album, it ushered in a “new era of socially conscious funk and soul music—a natural extension of [his] leading role as a cultural voice of the Black Power movement and early involvement in the Civil Rights era the decade before.”
The new collection features t-shirts, a hat, a keychain, and more with the signature Super Fly album logo. The vinyl re-release comes in a gold variant and will be a Walmart exclusive. The deluxe vinyl edition will be available on August 26 at select retailers and includes bonus tracks, exclusive photos, a movie poster, and a turntable mat.

AFTER Ivana Trump died, the New York City street where she lived was blocked off as her body was removed from her townhouse.
Donald Trump's first wife - and mother to three of the former president's kids - was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in her seven-story Upper East Side home.
The 73-year-old Trump family matriarch has lived at 10 East 64th St. for more than three decades.
Photos uncovered by The Sun show the 1924 home's extravagant luxurious interior, which featured her signature leopard room and spiral staircase draped by a red carpet.
But the beauty inside the home was a stark contrast to the reality unfolding outside Thursday afternoon, when 5th and Madison avenues were shut down while officials removed Ms Trump's body.
Angelo Colavito, who works as a private security guard in the building across the street, was one of the few people who saw the gloomy scene.
“I was saddened seeing the truck back up into her building," Colavito said Friday morning.
"The police did their jobs and covered up with the umbrellas and everything, but it was tough. I’ll never see or talk to her again.”
Colavito got to know Ms Trump over the last eight years while he was working security.
"When l first learned who that was, the last name Trump is a little intimidating. You want to leave her alone, but she was very pleasant and always talked to me," he said.
Most read in The US Sun
"Small talk kind of stuff. I walked her across the street. I helped her get over this puddle," said Colavito, pointing the creek flowing down the street from road work.
"If she didn’t have the last name, you would never know it. She was a sweet, wonderful woman. If she was having a bad day, you would never know it.”
MS TRUMP'S DETERIORATING HEALTH
Ms Trump's health quickly deteriorated over the last year or so, three people told The Sun Friday morning.
A doorman on her street, who wished to remain anonymous, said she wasn't the same after her fourth ex-husband Rossano Rubicondi died in October 2021.
“She used to always wear high heels and walk straight up," he said. "After he died, she didn't come out as much. She wore flats and walked hunched over with a cane."
During the Christmas season, neighbors were used to Ms Trump's decorations and seeing her in front of her home.
But that didn't happen last Christmas, her neighbor, Ruth Randall, said.
"I haven't seen her in more than a year," Randall said. "She wasn't outside this Christmas. I don't think she even put up the same amount of decorations. I think it was something to acknowledge it was Christmas."
Colavito said he noticed she didn't look as healthy as years past but he didn't want to pry into her life. He said he just wanted to make sure she was safe.
PROTECTING MS TRUMP DURING NYC RIOTS
About a year and half ago - in the wake George Floyd's murder and the racial awakening protests - the neighborhood around Ms Trump turned violent, Colavito said.
He was working the night protestors jumped on cars, screamed profanities and threats, and threw a molotov cocktail into a restaurant on the Madison Avenue side of the East 64th Street.
He did his job to protect the people in his building while making sure Ms Trump was safe, he said.
“I stayed outside the whole time and made sure no one broke her windows or did anything to her or her home," Colavito said.
"I knew she was elderly and by herself. I wasn’t going to let anything happen to her."
INSIDE MS TRUMP'S TOWNHOUSE
During her lifetime, Ms Trump's fashion sense and extravagant taste was evident in her home's decor.
The railing running along the spiral staircase was redone and the mural behind the railing was painted by handpicked artists flown in from Italy, she told People during a 2009 interview.
"It's painted on so it looks like it's a balcony, looking into French-Roman gardens," she said at the time.
The centerpiece of the master bedroom is a canopy-covered bed and a fire place.
The Chinese-style murals on the bedroom walls were damaged and restored by artists who were recommended by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
She displayed framed photos of her children - Don Jr, Ivanka and Eric - as well as her grandchildren and even a photo with Donald.
"I love my family," Ms Trump told People during the 2009 interview.
THE MORNING AFTER HER DEATH
The morning after Ms Trump's death, a bouquet of flowers was left outside her door.
Otherwise the affluent neighborhood was business as usual, except for the few camera crews outside the building.
Joggers and dog walkers passed by and construction continued on the 5th Avenue side diagonally across from Ms Trump's home.
A couple people stopped to take a picture of the flower, and one person tipped his hat off out of respect.
Two neighbors who spoke to The Sun Friday morning said they knew her and have seen her walking around the neighborhood but didn't know her personally.
FIRST RESPONDERS' OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
Officials didn't expand on details surrounding her death.
The FDNY said in an email that responded to a call from someone that Ivana was suffering from cardiac arrest around 12.40pm.
The NYPD said in an email that the EMS responded and prounounced Ms Trump dead at the scene.
"There does not appear to be any criminality. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death," according to the NYPD. | https://www.the-sun.com/news/5785896/ivana-trump-death-nyc-home/ | 2022-07-15T21:40:12Z | https://www.the-sun.com/news/5785896/ivana-trump-death-nyc-home/ | true | 3 |

RMT tells Grant Shapps to get on with his job and stop tweeting nonsense
Failed Tory leadership candidate Grant Shapps got more than he bargained for today when he had a go at the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) Union. The serving transport minister tweeted that the union’s strike plans would cause “misery” and “disruption”. Shapps is back in the office after his bid to replace Boris Johnson failed:
.@RMTunion creating further misery for passengers shows they're intent on causing maximum disruption and aren't serious about talks with industry.
Modernisation of our rail industry is an absolute necessity for the benefit of everyone, and that isn't going to change.
— Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP (@grantshapps) July 15, 2022
But the RMT, whose social media team has become renowned for its no-nonsense approach to Tories and capitalists, was taking no prisoners. It told Shapps he should get on with his job and stop tweeting nonsense:
Read on...
Is this you not intervening again? 👇
Now you've abandoned your forlorn hopes for the job of Prime Minister, you can stop tweeting nonsense and get back to your day job which is to help sort this dispute out.#SupportRailWorkers https://t.co/eIjfRsDB8e
— RMT (@RMTunion) July 15, 2022
‘Couldn’t run a bath’
Harsh but fair, it has to be said. Shapps’ bid lasted only a few days before he pulled out and backed hyper-capitalist Rishi Sunak, who served as chancellor under Boris Johnson and is the richest MP in the land.
Shapps pulling out of the race is lucky if you share the views of TSSA trade union leader Manuel Cortes, who recently said Shapps “couldn’t run a bath“, let alone a country. Cortes told the Morning Star:
It’s beyond belief that he thinks he’s up to the job: Tory arrogance knows no bounds.
Negotiations
Since he’s a Tory, we must assume Shapps isn’t a fan of state intervention into the economy. Yet the RMT’s elected leader Mike Lynch had to explain once again today that Shapps is deeply involved in the stand-off between workers and rail barons:
#GMB presenter: Grant Shapps denies he should be involved in the negotiations
Mick Lynch from @RMTunion: "…that's completely untrue.. its written into the contracts that he [Shapps] is directly responsible for industrial relations on the railway, so he's not telling the truth" pic.twitter.com/F21cWNOGxt
— Saul Staniforth (@SaulStaniforth) July 15, 2022
So much for the free market. And despite Shapps’ talk of angry commuters and militant unions, Lynch reported that everywhere he had travelled, people were very supportive of the workers’ struggle for fair, safe conditions:
Mick Lynch, @RMTunion: “I have got people coming up to me in the street and when I’m travelling around London and all around the country, saying ‘Good on you."https://t.co/4yJ3oYk2sf
— Ross Lydall (@RossLydall) July 14, 2022
Modernisation?
Shapps’ rant that the RMT was holding back progress was given short thrift too. Free marketeers constantly claim that pay cuts, competition and removing safety rules are actually good. But one Twitter user laid out the truth of the matter:
How does closing manned ticket offices, running trains with no guard or other safety-critical trained staff "benefit everyone"?
Your idea of 'modernisation' means cuts in quality of service.— Gary1966🇺🇦 (@50046Gary) July 15, 2022
While another pointed out that if it was modernisation Shapps was after, he’d be better off starting at the top with the massively overpaid private rail barons:
“Modernisation” should not mean cutting jobs, tearing up terms and conditions, destroying a work/life balance and enforcing an evil basic fire/rehire situation.
Start by modernisation of the management and their £500k plus salaries!— Bo Hughes (@BoHughes09) July 15, 2022
Shapps on the run
The notion Grant Shapps could have been PM is a bizarre one. Especially given he can’t even seem to handle the job he already has as transport minister. That said, his contempt for working people is precisely in line with the Tory norm.
What we do know for sure is that more strikes are coming on 18 and 20 August. And if the choice is between the Tories and working people, it’s a no-brainer which one des erves our support.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Milwaukee moved another step closer to hosting the 2024 Republican National Convention on Friday when a site selection committee unanimously recommended the event be held there rather than Nashville, Tennessee.
The Republican National Committee would still need to approve the location at its meeting Aug. 2-5 in Chicago. Nashville could still be the winner, but that city's chances hit a roadblock earlier this month when opposition led proponents to withdraw a proposed agreement about how to host the event.
“Today, the Site Selection Committee voted to recommend Milwaukee to host the 2024 Republican National Convention and it is a testament to the forthright and professional behavior embraced by Milwaukee’s city leaders throughout the process," RNC Senior Advisor Richard Walters said in a statement. “A final decision will be made by Chairwoman McDaniel and the full RNC in the coming weeks.”
Milwaukee was chosen by Democrats to host the 2020 convention, but the coronavirus pandemic forced that meeting to be held nearly entirely online. President Joe Biden accepted the nomination in Delaware, not Milwaukee.
But city leaders argued that their preparations for hosting that convention put them in the best position to welcome Republicans to town in 2024. They have called the city “turnkey” ready for the event.
Leaders in the Democratic stronghold of Milwaukee joined together with Republican power brokers, including former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, to make the pitch for hosting the 2024 convention. Priebus, a former White House chief of staff under former President Donald Trump and Wisconsin state GOP chairman, leads the local committee for the convention.
Trump narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016, but lost to Biden by a nearly identical margin in 2020.
Wisconsin could determine who wins in 2024, while Tennessee has not backed a Democrat for president since 1996. In the convention contest, history would seem to favor Milwaukee. For two decades, Republicans have placed their nominating convention in swing states — North Carolina, Ohio and Florida. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Milwaukee-gets-recommendation-to-host-2024-GOP-17308478.php | 2022-07-15T21:49:09Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Milwaukee-gets-recommendation-to-host-2024-GOP-17308478.php | true | 26 |
GUATEMALA CITY — Guatemala repatriated its first victim Friday from the smuggling attempt that left 53 migrants from Mexico and Central America dead last month in San Antonio, Texas.
The body of 13-year-old Pascual Melvin Guachiac Sipac arrived around midday in Guatemala's capital. Twenty-one Guatemalans were among the migrants who died after being abandoned in a tractor-trailer June 27 in sweltering heat.
The boy's family was on hand to receive the casket at the capital's airport.
Guachiac Sipac was an Indigenous Quiche who spoke little Spanish, but he set out nonetheless with his cousin for the United States, both hoping to work and help their families. His cousin, Wilmer Tulul, died too and his body was expected to return to Guatemala Saturday.
They were from Tzucubal, a community of about 1,500 people in the mountains nearly 100 miles northwest of the capital, where most live by subsistence farming.
A fourth flight carrying the last of the incident's Mexican victims landed Friday. Mexico flew home 25 of its 26 victims this week in accordance with the families' wishes.
Six Hondurans made up the remainder of the victims. | https://www.startribune.com/guatemala-returns-1st-of-its-21-victims-from-texas-trailer/600190568/ | 2022-07-15T21:50:02Z | https://www.startribune.com/guatemala-returns-1st-of-its-21-victims-from-texas-trailer/600190568/ | true | 12 |

Bruce Springsteen announces 2023 tour dates with the E Street Band
July 12 (UPI) -- Bruce Springsteen announced on Tuesday his 2023 U.S. tour dates with the E Street Band.
The 2023 tour, which includes 31 performances across the United States, kicks off in Tampa, Fla., on Feb. 1, and wraps up with a homecoming in Newark, N.J., on April 14.
It marks the first live concert tour for Springsteen, 72, and the E Street Band since their River Tour wrapped up in Australia and New Zealand in February 2017, and also marks their first North American tour dates since September 2016.
The rock singer, nicknamed The Boss, and the E Street Band announced the tour in May, but just released the dates.
"After six years, I'm looking forward to seeing our great and loyal fans next year," Springsteen said in a statement. "And I'm looking forward to once again sharing the stage with the legendary E Street Band. See you out there, next year--and beyond."
After the U.S. tour ends, Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform a series of shows in Europe and Britain that will kick off on April 28 in Barcelona, Spain.
Additional dates in Britain and Belgium will be announced at a later date, along with dates for a North American tour starting in August.
Springsteen and the E Street Band were originally set to begin the tour in 2020, but it was delayed until 2023 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They last performed together on Saturday Night Live in December 2020 following the release of their album Letter to You.
The singer, songwriter, and humanitarian, known for capturing stories about experiences of ordinary people with the American dream in his music, from steel workers to veterans, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016 from then-President Barack Obama. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2664909019252/bruce-springsteen-announces-2023-tour-dates-with-the-e-street-band | 2022-07-15T21:53:46Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2664909019252/bruce-springsteen-announces-2023-tour-dates-with-the-e-street-band | true | 2 |

STOCKTON, Calif. (KTXL) — While wearing chemical-protection suits and masks, San Joaquin County Animal Service Officers removed 20 sicks cats from a trailer in Stockton on July 6, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office.
The trailer was located on the 4200 block of Waller Road and when officers arrived at the trailer the smell of cat urine was so strong that ventilation of the property needed to be carried out by Waterllo/Morada Fire, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deborah Fenning, 58, of Stockton was arrested and booked for 20 counts of felony animal cruelty, according to the sheriff’s office.
When officers entered the trailer they described the floor as “spongy” as they located cat feces on the floor, countertops and on top of appliances, according to law enforcement.
The sheriff’s office said that the 20 cats that were recovered had signs of respiratory infection and were flea infested.
Because of the large number of cats recovered the sheriff’s office said that they were placed in different shelters and are awaiting medical attention. | https://fox40.com/news/local-news/stockton-woman-arrested-on-20-counts-of-felony-animal-cruelty/ | 2022-07-15T21:59:55Z | https://fox40.com/news/local-news/stockton-woman-arrested-on-20-counts-of-felony-animal-cruelty/ | true | null |
30 women alleging sexual misconduct against Deshaun Watson settle claims with Houston Texans
By Rebekah Riess and Kevin Dotson, CNN
Thirty women who “have made, or intended to make, claims” against the Houston Texans organization over the sexual misconduct allegations against former Texans player Deshaun Watson, have settled their claims, according to a release from the claimants’ attorney Tony Buzbee and a statement issued by the Houston Texans’ ownership.
“The terms of the settlements, to include the amounts paid each, are confidential,” Buzbee said.
Deshaun Watson now plays for the Cleveland Browns, after being traded by the Texans earlier this year. He has repeatedly denied the allegations against him.
Janice, Hannah, and Cal McNair, owners of the Houston Texans, said they were “shocked and deeply saddened” when they first learned of the allegations against Watson in March 2021. “Although our organization did not have any knowledge of Deshaun Watson’s alleged misconduct, we have intentionally chosen to resolve this matter amicably. This is not an admission of any wrongdoing, but instead a clear stand against any form of sexual assault and misconduct,” they said in a statement Friday.
“We hope that today’s resolution will provide some form of closure to the parties involved, our fans and the Houston community at large. As an organization, we will now turn our focus to the future and doing what we can to ensure respect for all,” the statement added.
Buzbee noted one of the thirty women who made allegations against the Houston Texans organization had filed a lawsuit against the organization, which he said would be dismissed with prejudice “as soon as the appropriate settlement paperwork is complete.”
The four lawsuits filed against Deshaun Watson himself will continue, Buzbee said. “We hope to try them all in the spring of next year. In the meantime we will continue to do the important work to prepare for such,” he said.
CNN previously reported Watson reportedly settled 20 of the 24 lawsuits last month brought by women accusing him of misconduct, including several allegations of sexual assault and harassment.
When reached for comment on the matter, Watson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, told CNN, “What the Texans decided to do in their own self-interest is between them and Mr. Buzbee. It has no significance to Deshaun’s cases at all.”

ENGLAND capped off their Euro 2022 group stage with an emphatic 5-0 win over Northern Ireland.
Kelsie Burrows' freakish own goal, Beth Mead's tidy finish and two fantastic strikes from Alessia Russo got the job done for the Lionesses in Southampton.
Which meant that Sarina Wiegman's side maintained their 100% win record and topped Group A with NO goals conceded.
- RESULT: Northern Ireland 0-5 England
- TV/Live stream: BBC
- Northern Ireland XI: Burns; Mckenna, Nelson, Robson, Vance; Rafferty, Callaghan, Furness, Holloway; Wade, McGuinness
- England XI: Earps; Bronze, Bright, Williamson, Daly; Stanway, Walsh; Mead, Kirby, Hemp; White

Alessia Russo awarded player of the match
The striker came off the bench at half time to score a brace.
Arjan Veurink reacts
When speaking to BBC Sport, Veurink said:
"We spoke about lots of potential scenarios and this [Covid] was one of them - my compliments go to the staff and players group because we reacted really well.
"We plan for scenarios and the world we are living in it could happen - we spoke about it and we're well prepared. She's managing the staff and players brilliantly.
"The first 30 minutes to be fair to Northern Ireland they did well - we didn't use the right spaces to play in and that's one of the things we tried to put some attention on - we did really well in the first part of the second half and sometimes when they are defending in a low block it is really difficult."
When asked if Wiegman will return in time for the quarter-final, he said:
"We have to see - we have to manage it day by day, hopefully she is back in business as soon as possible."
Marissa Callaghan reacts
When speaking to BBC Sport, the Northern Ireland captain said:
"For the players the legacy is that we believed we could compete in this tournament, it was a far cry for us four or five years ago we never thought we would make it and I felt we played really well at times against top sides and players.
"We have to believe that we can challenge the top sides.
"There's a massive gulf - we'll go back on Monday and it will be a big wake up call, we've been full-time since January together but soon we'll go back to our normal jobs and lives and we have to try to keep the momentum.
"We have to keep investing in women's football - the Irish FA, our leagues we have to make them better. I hope that we can get more sponsorship and push on because we are capable of doing that and playing more in these big tournaments.
"At times in each of the games we've really battled and stood shoulder to shoulder with top players and sides, in the past playing England we created no chances but today we went for it.
"Unfortunately we didn't score any but we did have chances and we have to take something from that - the gulf is massive and when they come on in the second half and change subs like for like it's hard to compete.
"But I'm so proud every player left everything on the pitch and it's been an amazing two weeks.
"The fans have been amazing - a thousand of our fans and we could hear them over everything. The girls have really appreciated them being here, they've been outstanding and so we're thankful to them all."
Lionesses roar
England have won 100% of their group stage games for the second consecutive UEFA Women’s Euros.
They’re the first side to do it in back-to-back tournaments since Germany, who did so in 2001, 2005 and 2009. (Opta)
Fran Kirby reacts
Kirby told Radio Five Live:
"I've been wanting to get a goal through the tournament and have been getting myself in good positions bit it hasn't come off for me.
"Luckily today I was in the right place and I got good contact on the ball and it was one of those you're watching to see if it goes in so when it did I was just really happy to open my account.
"We spoke before the game about having a positive start, we felt our starts in the previous two games had been a bit slow so we wanted to make sure we got good possession of the ball and looked after it and I felt we did that even though the goal didn't quite come.
"I'm just happy it went in and got the ball rolling and it just relaxed us and we could play the game a bit more."
Alessia Russo reacts
When speaking to BBC Sport, Russo said:
"I enjoy every game in an England shirt and to come on and score is great.
"I just got in the right place at the right time, and was able to put it in the back of the net.
"I should have finished that last one but we will move on to the next game.
"I've been watching Ian Wright's goals this week and maybe that helped me.
"Obviously I want to play in every game for England but I know I have to be patient."
Full Time - Northern Ireland 0-5 England
It took a while for the Lionesses to get into the game, but as soon as Kirby broke the deadlock there was no stopping them.
England completely dominated possession while Northern Ireland struggled to get a touch on the ball.
Beth Mead continues to shine for England, while super-sub Alessia Russo has issued a statement of intent to Sarina Wiegman, suggesting that she should be in the starting XI for the quarter-final after scoring three goals in two appearances off the bench.
Goalkeeper Mary Earps has barely had to make a save over the last three games, demonstrating the strength of England's defence.
England break another record
The Lionesses have scored 14 goals at the 2022 Women’s Euros, the most on record in the group stages at a single edition - previously 11 for Germany in 2001. (Opta)
Full Time - Northern Ireland 0-5 England

NEW YORK, July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues its investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE: SCHW) resulting from allegations that Schwab may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Schwab securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6945 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On July 1, 2021, Schwab disclosed that the Company had been "responding to an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) arising from a compliance examination." The investigation primarily concerned "historic disclosures related to the Schwab Intelligent Portfolios® (SIP) digital advisory solution." Schwab further disclosed its "second quarter 2021 financial results will include a liability and related non-deductible charge of $200 million."
On this news, Schwab's share price dropped $0.77 per share, or approximately 1%, to close at $72.80 on July 2, 2021.
On June 13, 2022, the SEC announced that it "charged three Charles Schwab investment adviser subsidiaries" who "agreed to pay $187 million to harmed clients to settle the charges." The SEC charged Schwab with misleading investors that used its robo-adviser product, Schwab Intelligent Portfolios. Instead of the touted "disciplined portfolio construction methodology" that sought "optimal return[s]", Schwab's "own data showed that under most market conditions, the cash in the portfolios would cause clients to make less money even while taking on the same amount of risk."
On this news, Schwab's share price dropped $1.98 per share, or approximately 3%, to close on June 13, 2022 at $60.24.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

ALBANY — Police are investigating the predawn Friday stick-up of a longtime private social club on Central Avenue where armed robbers tied up and pistol-whipped gamblers, stealing tens of thousands of dollars.
As many as five intruders wearing all black and wielding automatic rifles snuck into the back door of a garage of the club near the corner of Central and Lexington Avenue about 12:50 a.m., according to police and people with knowledge of the situation.
Twelve poker players had their hands tied up with zip ties behind their backs. Robbers pistol-whipped two of the players using the butt of their guns. One of the victims sustained a serious cut to his eye, while another was hit in the chin, people familiar with the case said.
The intruders stole at least $25,000 in addition to other property, the sources said. The injuries were not considered life-threatening.
The gangland-style heist summoned police to the location, which at one time had a license to be a private social club, said Officer Steve Smith, a police spokesman.
A man answering the phone at the number Friday afternoon told the Times Union he knew nothing about the robbery. A man answering the door at the social club Friday politely declined to comment.
While not common, similar heists have taken place in Albany and Colonie over the years.
In January 2014, two men robbed a 54-year-old man of $1,500 outside the Sons of Caesar, a private social club on Everett Road in Colonie.
In January 2009, four men in their early 20s ambushed, pistol-whipped and robbed a winning poker player of $10,000 and his phone after he left Club Azzurri, a private social club on North Allen. They were all arrested within a month after one of them used the victim’s phone.
In 2008, during Memorial Day weekend, the same club was robbed, promoting city officials to close down two other clubs, including one at the location of Friday’s heist. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Police-Armed-robbers-hit-Albany-social-club-17308499.php | 2022-07-15T22:19:12Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Police-Armed-robbers-hit-Albany-social-club-17308499.php | true | 1 |
BEIJING (AP) — China’s economy contracted in the three months ending in June compared with the previous quarter after Shanghai and other cities shut down to fight coronavirus outbreaks, but the government said a “stable recovery” is under way after businesses reopened.
The world’s second-largest economy shrank by 2.6%, down from the January-March period's already weak 1.4%, official data showed Friday. Compared with a year earlier, which can hide recent fluctuations, growth slid to 0.4% from the earlier quarter’s 4.8%.
Activity was “much weaker than expected,” Rajiv Biswas of S&P Global Market Intelligence said in a report.
Asian stock markets were mixed following the news. Hong Kong was down 0.8% at mid-morning while Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul gained.
Anti-virus controls shut down Shanghai, site of the world’s busiest port, and other industrial centers starting in late March, fueling concerns global trade and manufacturing might be disrupted. Millions of families were confined to their homes, depressing consumer spending.
Factories and offices were allowed to start reopening in May, but economists say it will be weeks or months before activity is back to normal. Economists and business groups say China’s trading partners will feel the impact of shipping disruptions over the next few months.
“The resurgence of the pandemic was effectively contained,” the statistics bureau said in a statement. “The national economy registered a stable recovery.”
Data on factory output, consumer spending and other activity suggest overall growth was even weaker than the headline figure, Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics said in a report.
“Even accounting for June’s strength, the data are consistent with negative y/y (year-on-year) growth last quarter,” Evans-Pritchard wrote. “This isn’t the first time that the official GDP figures have seemingly understated the extent of an economic downturn.”
The slump hurts China’s trading partners by depressing demand for imported oil, food and consumer goods.
China’s infection numbers are relatively low, but Beijing responded to its biggest outbreak since the 2020 start of the pandemic with a “zero-COVID” policy that aims to isolate every person who tests positive. The ruling party has switched to quarantining individual buildings or neighborhoods with infections but those restrictions covered areas with millions of people.
Repeated shutdowns and uncertainty about business conditions have devastated entrepreneurs who generate China's new wealth and jobs. Small retailers and restaurants have closed. Others say they are struggling to stay afloat.
Cheng Hong, a mother of one who owns the Qifei Travel Agency in Shijiazhuang, southwest of Beijing, said business is down more than 80%.
“I almost couldn’t hold on, but I am lucky to see the start of a recovery,” said Cheng.
The ruling Communist Party is promising tax refunds, free rent and other aid to get companies back on their feet, but most forecasters expect China to fail to hit the ruling party’s 5.5% growth target this year.
Other major economies report growth compared with the previous quarter, which makes their levels look lower than China. Beijing for decades reported only growth compared with the previous year, which hid short-term fluctuations, but has started to release quarter-on-quarter figures.
Forecasters say Beijing is using cautious, targeted stimulus instead of across-the-board spending, a strategy that will take longer to show results. Chinese leaders worry too much spending might push up politically sensitive housing costs or corporate debt they worry is dangerously high.
Growth for the first half of the year was 2.5% over a year earlier, one of the weakest levels in the past three decades.
Retails sales were off 0.7% from a year earlier in the first half after plunging 11% in April.
Song Haixia, a shopkeeper who sells food and cigarettes in the northern city of Taiyuan, said sales have fallen by up to 70% to as little as 300 yuan ($45) a day. She said migrant workers who were among her customers were driven away by anti-virus measures.
“People are just not making money,” said Song, 45, the mother of two children. “I am not very optimistic about future prospects.”
Investment in factories, real estate and other fixed assets climbed 6.1%, reflecting the ruling party’s effort to stimulate growth by boosting spending on public works construction and ordering state-owned companies to spend more.
China also faces headwinds from weak global demand. Exports jumped 17.9% in June over a year earlier, but forecasters say that reflected ports clearing out cargo after anti-virus curbs lifted. They say growth is likely to fall back.
Slowing growth in the United States and Europe “could weaken demand for China’s manufacturing exports,” said Biswas.
China rebounded quickly from the pandemic in 2020, but activity weakened as the government tightened controls on use of debt by its vast real estate industry, which supports millions of jobs. Economic growth slid due to a slump in construction and housing sales.
Investors are waiting to see what happens to one of China’s biggest developers, Evergrande Group. It has struggled since last year to avoid defaulting on $310 billion owed to banks and bondholders. | https://www.manufacturing.net/supply-chain/news/22327747/chinas-economy-shrinks-26-during-virus-shutdowns | 2022-07-15T22:20:29Z | https://www.manufacturing.net/supply-chain/news/22327747/chinas-economy-shrinks-26-during-virus-shutdowns | false | 29 |

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may well have produced some of the most awe-inspiring images in the history of deep space photography since its launch, however, even the most modest modern laptop might beat it in the storage stakes.
The world's most advanced telescope only sports a 68GB Solid State Drive (SSD), though this still beats out the modest 2GB utilized by the Hubble telescope (the world's previous top telescope), it's virtually nothing compared to what's on offer for consumer's nowadays.
To put things into perspective, the Acer Predator GM7000 1TB NVMe Gaming SSD gives you around 1 terabyte of storage for only around £150, quite a bit less than JWST's estimated $10 billion budget.
Why so small?
An interpretation by Tom's Hardware notes that it's important to realize that it's virtually impossible to compare hardware that works in space orbit and what works down on the earth.
The vastly different conditions in space could easily wreck a regular hard drive.
How does NASA get around the problem?
The storage is mostly for short-term usage anyway and only needs to suffice for about 24 hours according to Alex Hunter, a flight systems engineer at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
JWST will apparently have scheduled opportunities to beam the image data to Earth before it gets filled up again, making the journey of around 1.5 million kilometers (932 thousand miles) in the process.
Even the 68-GB figure might well be an exaggeration, 3 percent of the storage is apparently reserved for engineering and telemetry data according to IEEE Spectrum, and in around 10 years it's likely that its storage size will downgrade to about 60GB.
But what the telescope lacks in storage it definitely makes up for in other capacities.
The JWST's25 square meter main optic can capture infrared light of up to 28μm in wavelength.
NASA hasn't said why the telescope has such a limited amount of storage space, but it could simply be an age issue.
The initial designs for the project began in 1996, while the first contract for its manufacture was signed in 2003.

Noah Schnapp is reflecting on Will's Stranger Things journey.
The 17-year-old actor addresses his character's sexuality and season four arc, confirming that it's "100 percent clear" that Will is gay and in love with his best friend, Mike (Finn Wolfhard).
"Obviously it was hinted at in season one: It was always kind of there, but you never really knew, is it just him growing up slower than his friends? Now that he's gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing," the actor tells Variety in a new Q&A.
"Now it is 100 percent clear that he is gay and he does love Mike. But before, it was a slow arc. I think it is done so beautifully, because it's so easy to make a character just, like, all of a sudden be gay," he continues, noting that he has been approached by numerous fans who have related to and are moved by his performance.
"That just made me so happy to hear," he says. "They are writing this real character and this real journey and real struggle, and they're doing it so well."
That includes, he says, showrunners the Duffer Brothers writing new scenes on the fly. In one standout moment from the fourth season of Stranger Things, Will's big brother Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) opens up a heartfelt line of communication with his sibling. Through a conversation about their childhood, Jonathan hints that, yes, he's aware Will is gay, and he wants to be there for him.
"This scene was actually not originally written in the script," Schnapp reveals. "It was only until after I did the scene of my in the van, where they saw me crying and the protectiveness that you see with Jonathan looking in the rearview mirror. They were like, we need a scene with that. So they wrote it as we were filming.
"It's also very important for people to see that Will is not alone," he continues. "Because all we ever see of him is struggling and feeling depressed and that he can't be himself. Jonathan is talking to him in code -- it's just the perfect way to tell someone like Will that he cares about him and he accepts him no matter what. I think it was really wholesome."
The van scene to which Scnapp is referring has been made into a wildly popular social media meme, which the actor admits he has seen "everywhere."
"Honestly, it feels really good to get that recognition for that scene," he says. "Just that little turn told you so much. Everything was done so intentionally, like when I put my hand over my mouth. He’s hiding it, and he doesn’t want Mike to hear him. It’s just really cool that people loved it."
Schnapp says he's "super unserious on social media and pretty goofy," explaining away his recent TikTok misstep of sharing a private direct message from GRAMMY winner Doja Cat. The moment exploded across the internet, with the singer slamming him for his transgression. Since then, Schnapp has said the two are "all good" and that he apologized directly.
"I posted that not thinking too much of it, but obviously it hurt her feelings," he tells Variety. "So, as I should, I apologized and she was totally OK with it, and it was like, 'I'm sorry how I reacted.' It was all good. I love her. I'm like the biggest fan of her music and I told her that. I was like, 'You're literally my role model.
"It's all good," he continues. "People make such a big deal out of everything when it's on the internet, but, like, in reality, it's like a two-minute thing."
As we wait to find out what will unfold in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things ("Obviously, we hope for a coming out scene," Schnapp says), the actor is dipping a toe in the entrepreneurial pool by launching his own vegan hazelnut spread, TBH.
"I’ve always been super interested in entrepreneurship. It’s always been something I’ve wanted to tackle and be a part of and build a business," he explains. "I was just brainstorming all of my passions and what I care about, what I love, and I just kind of combined my favorite things. I love Nutella. It’s my favorite thing ever, but it’s so bad for you and so bad for the planet. And so I was like, there’s a gap in the market for that. I need to fix it."

A Carrollton teen is exchanging one uniform for another.
Joseph Charles Robinson, 17, earned his Eagle Scout ranking after six dedicated years in Boy Scout Troop 39, led by Troop Leader Lisa Chandler. He will be 18 in two weeks.
Robinson, who recently graduated from Carrollton High School last May, has joined the Army National Guard and leaves for basic combat training in Fort Jackson, located in Columbia, S.C. on Monday, July 18.
Following Robinson’s basic combat training, he will attend advanced individual training (AIT) for 16 weeks to gain more knowledge on how to perform his assigned duty as a Signal Support System Specialist.
Since earning his Eagle Scout ranking, Robinson will enter the Army National Guard ranked as a Private First Class which is a paygrade E-3 instead of the typical private E-1 grade that most individuals start with when beginning their military career.
“That allows me to get a little bit of extra money with my paychecks and just a higher rank. So that's really great,” Robinson said.
Robinson began his boy scout career in Troop 138 during his sixth grade year of middle school in 2016 when a friend asked him to tag along to a boy scout meeting one day. According to Robinson, other friends were invited, but he was the only one that attended.
“My friend Ben got me to come to one of the meetings at Troop 138. I actually switched troops. But he asked me at lunch if I would come to a meeting. He invited me and my other friend, and I remember, I was the only one that went that day. I ended up just having a great time at the meeting, and I really felt like I fit in. So I ended up staying in the troop,” Robinson said.
In approximately 2018, around Robinson’s eighth grade year, he switched from Troop 138 to his current Troop 39 because he thought it was better fit for the goals he wanted to accomplish as a boy scout.
“I had a lot more friends in Troop 39 that were kind of encouraging me to join their troop. I felt like Troop 39 was going to be a little bit more productive for me and just work better…It was a good call,” Robinson said.
An Eagle Scout is the highest rank a scout can achieve. To reach this level of rank, an individual must earn at least 21 merit badges, fulfill leadership roles, display outdoor skills, lead by example under the Scout Oath and Law, and while a Life Scout serve six months in troop leadership position, per Atlanta Area Council of Boy Scouts of America, where Robinson had to visit for his Eagle Scout board of review.
Prior to becoming an Eagle Scout, Robinson moved up in rank over the years in order from Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life and finally Eagle.
Robinson held a couple of different leadership positions which were earned through elections. According to Robinson, elections are every six months and occur during PLC meetings, which is “basically just planning.”
In 2019, he was elected to be a senior patrol leader and later that same year he became a troop guide.
“So you have the senior patrol leader, one person gets that. Then they appoint an assistant when they're elected. You also have individual patrol leaders that are under the senior patrol leader and the assistant who lead each patrol in the troop,” Robinson said. “For a time I was the SPL, which is the senior patrol leader of the troop. He kind of helps direct all the different patrols of the troop, leads all the meetings and he's just the general I guess overseer of the whole troop like on a scout level. I was also a troop guide after that. A troop guide kind of assists in you know, teaching some of the younger scouts and kind of aiding them with breakups and whatever they need to know and camp out and just being an older scout and having more tenure in the program. Troop guide was just a way that you could be a role model and get back to the troop.”
When Robinson began his Eagle Scout project, he wanted to do a literacy project which included giving books to patients that were in Tanner Medical Center so that they could read them and take them home.
He collected over 700 books from friends, families and members of Daughters of American Revolution. But, when the Covid-19 pandemic arrived, the hospital needed all of its space for patient care, which ended Robinson’s initial Eagle Scout project.
He did not quit, but instead came with an idea to add flagpoles to Bethany Christian Church. His troop leader coordinated the project with Senior Chief John Dickerson, a member of the veterans committee at Bethany Christian Church, after Dickerson had a similar idea the same day that was pitched to Chandler.
According to a letter written by Scout Leader Jay Langley to Dickerson, the veterans of Bethany had agreed to pitch in funds necessary to assure a proper placement of a U.S. flag pole in front of the church property.
“I believe that God’s plan is in play here as the same thought came at almost the same time from two different directions,” Langley's letter said.
Robinson had to process his permission request though Eagle Scout rules. With input from his Eagle Scout Touchstone, he was required to seek approval from the pastor of Bethany and then present the idea to the BSA District Eagle Project coordinator to gain approval for the Eagle Service Project.
“The Eagle Scout Project must show the Life Scout’s leadership ability in all aspects of his project after the approvals then through to complexation,” Langley said.
After completing his project, Robinson had successfully added two flagpoles to the front of Bethany, one displaying the American flag and the other displaying the Christian flag.
In addition to his official project, Robinson donated the books he collected for his original project and donated them to the PALS Program at Carrollton Elementary School.
Robinson is also the 2022 recipient of the DAR Community Service Award from the Abraham Baldwin Chapter in Carrollton.
The chapter said he was nominated because “he’s a person we feel privileged to know and witness his exceptional attitude, ability, and willingness to serve his community as a youth leader.”
Although Robinson is set to join the military, he also plans to attend college. He has been accepted into Georgia State University’s music program beginning in the summer of 2023, but he is still applying to other universities to keep his options open.
He has ambitions to study electrical engineering and computer science, which according to Robinson, can help him further his knowledge for his military career position.
“I want to be able to have all my training as a signalman. You know, putting up satellites, operating, radio, communications, networks, internet, all that kind of stuff. I want to be able to have the computer science side of that and electrical engineering so I can really have a strong resume and find a good job somewhere,” Robinson said.
Aside from Boy Scouts, music is a “big hobby” of his. He is a member of an alternative rock band with some of his friends where he plays guitar. Robinson also knows how to play the saxophone and plays his instruments in church sometimes.
Robinson said his music teacher, Ben Lively, was one of his biggest role models who taught him everything he knew about music.
“I got to kind of work with him a little bit," he said. "I did yard work for him. We used to build buildings in his yard, so we put up a greenhouse and a chicken coop. He taught me a lot of good things, like working skills. A lot of great life lessons too. He was just a great role model for me. Especially after my dad passed, he kind of stepped in and gave me a lot of good opportunities to get out."
Robinson was asked, what is the most valuable thing you learned in Boy Scouts?
“I think that the Boy Scouts really teaches you you can really overcome any challenge you might face in any adverse situation with a good mindset, and a little bit of determination. You have all the skills that it teaches you, mostly like handy life skills, and physical stuff, but there's also a lot of abstract core values that it teaches you and it gives you strong moral standpoints. I think it just makes you really have a diverse skill set. As an Eagle Scout, you know, you're really prepared for anything that can be thrown your way," Robinson said. "So, I think that it's taught me that I can overcome any challenge. If I just stick through it, and use what I got.” | https://www.times-georgian.com/times_georgian/robinson-earns-eagle-scouts-honor/article_2b1dbea4-022d-5930-b60c-df11198e58d2.html | 2022-07-15T22:36:08Z | https://www.times-georgian.com/times_georgian/robinson-earns-eagle-scouts-honor/article_2b1dbea4-022d-5930-b60c-df11198e58d2.html | true | 1 |

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — A new report out by the World Health Organization shows what many of us already knew — being a firefighter is a dangerous career.
But it’s more than just flames that firefighters are battling.
“We’ve known for a long time that there has been a very strong link between cancer and the fire service,” said Travis McGaha with the North Carolina Firefighter Cancer Alliance.
The new report says that carcinogens firefighters are exposed to on the job can lead to higher rates of cancer among them compared to the general population.
In Raleigh, Fire Chief Herbert Griffin says he’s aware of the risk, but his team takes steps to protect themselves, including giving each firefighter two sets of gear, plus adding new initiatives this year.
“We’re offering ultrasound body scans this year voluntarily for our members, this is pre-screening for early detection of cancer,” Griffin said.
The Raleigh Fire Department also does what’s called “decon” after leaving a fire scene. It’s a method of protecting firefighters that the North Carolina Firefighter Cancer Alliance helped develop.
“It covers things such as washing your gear while you’re still on scene before you even get into the truck, how to properly bag up and handle contaminated gear,” McGaha said.
But it’s not just a local issue. The North Carolina state budget allocates $15 million for a firefighter cancer benefit pilot program, meant to help workers impacted by the disease.
But Griffin says it goes beyond the money.
“Education is the primary part,” he said. “If you educate firefighters on reducing the risk of cancer, that goes a long way.”
With funding and education going hand in hand, Griffin says departments can keep first responders safe so they can in turn keep the community safe. | https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/nc-firefighters-take-steps-to-reduce-carcinogens-new-report-shows-risk-on-the-job/ | 2022-07-15T22:37:30Z | https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/nc-firefighters-take-steps-to-reduce-carcinogens-new-report-shows-risk-on-the-job/ | false | 1 |

Most people feel discrimination, racism exists
Nearly two-thirds of people surveyed between March and May felt that bias, discrimination and racism were “very or somewhat” present in Philipstown, according to results released on June 30.
The Butterfield and Desmond-Fish libraries, the Garrison school district and the Haldane PTA’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee organized the survey, which drew 443 responses from people who live and/or work in Philipstown.
Another 57 percent of the respondents said they had witnessed bias, discriminatory or racist acts, attitudes and words in Philipstown and nearly one in five said they had been the target of such treatment. At the same time, three in five people surveyed said they felt a sense of inclusion in Philipstown and nearly 80 percent expressed an interest in better understanding the issues.

EMS staffing shortages mean longer wait times for ambulances
BEAVER, Pa. (KDKA) - Across the country, sirens are going silent. EMS crews are taking longer to get to calls. Locally, some people have complained about waiting more than an hour for an ambulance.
When you call 911, you're hoping an ambulance arrives within minutes, but it's not always the case.
"It's been a problem in Beaver County for a while," Debbie Sawinski said.
Sawinski had a knee replacement and had some complications when she went home, including her leg swelling up.
"I was worried that it was a blood clot. It was to the point that I couldn't even walk," she said.
She called 911 and waited and waited. Her son's girlfriend called again.
"It didn't speed them up at all," Sawinksi said.
After an hour and a half, an ambulance arrived and she eventually got some help.
"It's extremely frustrating when on a busy day you know that service is being delayed to a client in need," said Bill Pasquale, the director of Medic Rescue, which covers Beaver County.
He said calls have to be prioritized because of the low number of crews. Trauma calls, chest problems and breathing issues will be at the top of their list, but some other issues get pushed down the list.
"Those people are going to have to wait, unfortunately. It's not something we like to do," Pasquale said.
Of their 20 ambulances, they have enough staff at their peak for eight trucks.
"We have trucks sitting around that could be staffed," Pasquale said at the ambulance center.
It's to the point that as a director, Pasquale will go out on calls to fill the need.
There can be times it's so busy, no crews are available and may have to leave a call to go respond to another.
"Before, if I took a call, it was the only call out there and waiting. Now, I'm taking a call with two or three calls maybe waiting," Pasquale told KDKA.
Pasquale said the field has been losing manpower for years, and if something is not done soon, we are facing a crisis.
"There's a limited number of ambulance services on the street regardless of the community every day of the week," Pasquale said.
"To wait over an hour for a squad, that's just unacceptable," Sawinski said over Zoom.
Pasquale said one challenge is people not signing up for EMS classes, others don't finish the course and some will get certified but not join the field. They are working with legislators to address this at the state and federal levels.

BERLIN (AP) — A German court on Friday convicted a military officer who posed as a Syrian asylum-seeker of plotting to attack prominent politicians, sentencing him to 5½ years in prison.
The Frankfurt state court convicted the defendant of preparing a serious crime meant to endanger the state, violations of weapons laws and fraud, German news agency dpa reported. It also found that he has right-wing extremist views. He has been identified only as 1st Lt. Franco A. in line with German privacy rules.
The 33-year-old German came to the attention of authorities after he was arrested in February 2017 while going to retrieve a pistol he had stashed in a Vienna airport bathroom. He was freed, but Austrian authorities informed Germany. When the soldier’s fingerprint matched the one he had given to register as an asylum-seeker, it triggered the investigation.
The defendant was accused of plotting to kill prominent politicians and blame the attack on refugees. Prosecutors alleged that the defendant’s targets included then-Justice Minister Heiko Maas and the Jewish head of an anti-racism organization.
He had stockpiled four firearms including an assault rifle, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition and more than 50 explosive devices, some stolen from military stores, they said.
The court found that the defendant had decided to carry out the attacks, but was unable to establish whether he planned to do so while posing as a Syrian refugee, dpa reported. It also was unable to clear up where he procured weapons and where they are now.
The soldier denied having planned attacks at his trial, which opened in May last year, but said that he had hoarded weapons and ammunition in case public order collapsed in Germany. He has asserted that, by posing as an asylum-seeker, he wanted to uncover faults in asylum proceedings.
Prosecutors, who labeled him a “radical right-wing terrorist,” had sought a sentence of six years and three months.
The defense had sought his acquittal on the main charge of preparing a serious crime meant to endanger the state, and fines or suspended sentences on other charges. Defense lawyers say they plan to appeal the verdict. | https://cw39.com/international/ap-international/german-soldier-who-posed-as-refugee-convicted-in-attack-plot/ | 2022-07-15T22:49:14Z | https://cw39.com/international/ap-international/german-soldier-who-posed-as-refugee-convicted-in-attack-plot/ | true | 27 |
Magic: The Gathering is releasing another Fortnite Secret Lair mini-set of special edition crossover cards in July – and publisher Wizards of the Coast has now revealed it’ll include MTG card versions of Fortnite in-game favourites like the Battle Bus, Supply Llama, and The Vault.
Shown off in an MTG spoilers article published on Wizards’ official site on Thursday, the newest Fortnite Secret Lair will have 12 cards: seven Fortnite-themed custom spell cards, and Fortnite-flavoured editions of the five full-art basic land cards (Plains, Island, Mountain, Swamp, and Forest). As standard for Secret Lair ‘drops’, the Fortnite mini-set will only be available to pre-order from the Secret Lair website within a narrow time window – in this case four days, from 9am PT on Thursday, July 21 to the same time on Monday, July 25.
It’ll cost you $29.99 / £29.99 for the standard, non-foil cards version, or $39.99 / £39.99 to get the shiny “traditional foil” cards. As with previous Secret Lair special edition cards, the spells function identically to existing in-game spells, but re-skinned with Fortnite-ified card names and artwork.
Battle Bus, for example, plays as the Artifact Vehicle card Smuggler’s Copter, and Supply Llama plays as the Artifact Creature Etherium Sculptor.
The five re-skinned Basic Lands revealed in Thursday’s preview, unsurprisingly, all depict recognisable locales from Fortnite’s playable Battle Royale maps.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – The House passed two bills on Friday to protect women’s access to abortion, but the votes were largely symbolic as it’s unlikely they will become law.
Democratic women in Congress vowed to continue fighting for women across the country too regain their reproductive freedom.
During a press conference, Representative Judy Chu (D-CA) said “if Republicans have their way this would be a country of forced birth, they’ve already openly discussed a national abortion ban.”
One of the bills House Democrats voted on would protect the right to travel to another state for an abortion and the other would restore federal abortion access.
“Democrats are honoring the basic truth, women’s most intimate health decisions are her own,” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said.
The second bill would protect abortion rights up to the point of viability and allow later abortions if a health care provider determines in good-faith that the mother’s life is in danger.
While the bills passed in the House, they are unlikely to become law. On Thursday, Senate Republicans blocked a bill from Nevada senator Catherine Cortez Masto to protect interstate travel for abortions.
“I rise today to oppose the uncontainable Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act,” Representative Buddy Carter (R-GA) said.
Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY) also spoke out against the bill saying “this bill allows the person doing the abortion to decides what qualifies as pre-viability and this is unacceptable.”
Because Democrats worry state bans will extend beyond abortion, they are planning another vote in the House next week to protect access to all forms of contraception. | https://www.upmatters.com/news/washington-dc/house-democrats-pass-two-bills-aiming-to-protect-abortion-access/ | 2022-07-15T22:53:02Z | https://www.upmatters.com/news/washington-dc/house-democrats-pass-two-bills-aiming-to-protect-abortion-access/ | false | 18 |
U.S. actress Constance Wu made a suicide attempt three years ago, bruised by a bitter social media backlash, the "Crazy Rich Asians" star said.
Wu, 40, faced a torrent of criticism in 2019 over remarks she made on Twitter about the sitcom "Fresh Off the Boat," which she starred in.
After online shaming from users who called the remarks disparaging, and a message from another Asian American actress who called Wu "a blight on the Asian American community," Wu said she decided to take her own life.
"I started feeling like I didn't even deserve to live anymore. That I was a disgrace to AsAms, and they'd be better off without me," Wu said in a statement posted Thursday on Twitter.
"Luckily, a friend found me and rushed me to the ER," the actress wrote without giving further details.
After surviving the suicide attempt, Wu put her career on hold and left social media to focus on her mental health. But she decided to return to online platforms and share her story in order to launch a broader discussion about mental health among Asian Americans.
"AsAms don't talk about mental health enough," Wu wrote. "While we're quick to celebrate representation wins, there's a lot of avoidance around the more uncomfortable issues within our community."
Wu's 2019 tweets followed news that the hit ABC sitcom "Fresh Off the Boat" depicting a Taiwanese-American family trying to build a new life in Florida had been renewed for a sixth season.
"So upset right now that I'm literally crying. Ugh," Wu tweeted then, adding an expletive.
Many users chastised her for appearing ungrateful for the show's success.
Wu said in her post that those tweets were "careless." She had also explained at the time that she was upset because the show's renewal would put her other projects on hold.
"Even though I'm scared, I've decided that I owe it to the me-of-3-years-ago to be brave and share my story so that it might help someone with theirs," the actress wrote.

PUNTA GORDA, Fla. — Florida Highway Patrol troopers arrested Terry Thomas Carlton Thursday night for driving under the influence, felony drug possession and other charges during a separate traffic homicide investigation.
Carlton was driving a white Kia on US 41, south of Tuckers Grade Road. Some of the lanes were closed for the investigation, but Carlton disregarded the road closure - passing through the median and driving around marked law enforcement cars with their emergency lights on.
Troopers were able to stop the Kia and identify Carlton. They found that Carlton’s license was suspended and that he was a habitual traffic offender. He also had an open bottle of Crown Royal in the car and a plastic baggie of meth.
After Carlton failed a series of field sobriety tests, troopers placed him under arrest and took him to the Charlotte County Jail. | https://www.fox4now.com/charlotte-county/troopers-arrest-impaired-driver-who-drove-through-fhp-investigation | 2022-07-15T22:56:17Z | https://www.fox4now.com/charlotte-county/troopers-arrest-impaired-driver-who-drove-through-fhp-investigation | false | 2 |

This is a recipe I remember my mother used to make when I was a child. I made them for Thanksgiving and used the slivered almonds grinding them in a coffee mill to make a fine powder. I also cooked the tarts in a mini muffin pan and used cream cheese dough instead of pastry. 1/4 lb soft butter, 1 cup flour and 1/4 lb. soft cream cheese. Mix all together and roll into 3/4 inch balls. Place one ball in each compartment of a mini muffin pan. Press down with thumb and up sides of each compartment in order to line the pan. Refrigerate pan while you make the filling. I used 1/8 teaspoon of rasberry jam into bottom of each muffin before filling with almond mixture. I baked it at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Tops should be light brown.

Tops should be light brown.
These were pretty tasty! I did change the recipe a bit because I needed to substitute pecans for almonds, but I found that those two flavors tasted well together. I made a double batch, in fact I was planning on making a quadruple batch, but it was pretty time consuming and tedious for the first two. I had two different tart pans, and the EKCO brand yielded much better results than the darker aluminum no-name brand pan I had. The EKCO pan allowed for nicer browning, and the cups were deeper to hold the ingredients. When adding the nut/sugar/egg mixture, I found that one teaspoon was plenty for each cup, and there was quite a lot of the mixture left over. (Maybe I will make two more batches with that tomorrow!) Overall, the presentation was fine, and it was important to make sure the pastry cross on top was firmly pressed to the crust.
I have made this recipe for years and using ground almonds plus raspberry jam is certainly the way to go. No other recipe needed. Highly recommend.

LOS ANGELES RAMS (16-5)
CAMP SITE: Irvine, California
LAST YEAR: The Rams won the Super Bowl for the second time in franchise history, raising the Lombardi Trophy for the first time since returning home to Los Angeles in 2016. Coach Sean McVay’s superb first half-decade culminated with an immediate title after the acquisition of Matthew Stafford, who smoothly ran an offense in which Cooper Kupp became the NFL’s most prolific receiver and the Super Bowl MVP. Aaron Donald’s defense improved steadily and got a turbo boost from the midseason acquisition of Von Miller, leading to increasingly dominant performances all the way to the Rams’ victory over Cincinnati at SoFi Stadium. The Rams won nine of their last 10 games overall and the NFC West title before their parade.
IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: LB Bobby Wagner, WR Allen Robinson, CB Troy Hill, RG Logan Bruss, offensive coordinator Liam Coen, P Riley Dixon.
IMPORTANT LOSSES: LB Von Miller, LT Andrew Whitworth, WR Robert Woods, RB Sony Michel, RG Austin Corbett, P Johnny Hekker, CB Darious Williams, DT Sebastian Joseph-Day, LB Troy Reeder.
CAMP NEEDS: As usual, the Rams need to identify starters to replace the veterans who priced themselves out of a return. The secondary looks thinner for the second straight season after Williams’ departure, so new contributors must be identified. Wagner must get used to running the Rams’ defense as the signal-caller, and Robinson must cement his timing with Stafford.
KEY CAMP COMPETITIONS: Rookie Bruss will attempt to beat out a few veterans to replace Corbett on the starting offensive line. Hill and Robert Rochell are the top candidates to join Jalen Ramsey in the starting secondary. Several backup running backs will fight for roles behind Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson.
EXPECTATIONS: The Rams have enough key pieces in place to become the NFL’s first repeat champions since the 2004 season. McVay, Stafford and Kupp are back with an offense that should be boosted from a full season of Akers, while the defense should benefit greatly from Wagner’s steady, hard-hitting presence in the middle. If injured Odell Beckham Jr. re-signs for the stretch run, a sequel title seems quite possible in Hollywood.
FANDUEL SUPER BOWL ODDS: +1100

MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo — Friday morning, a man successfully pushed a peanut to the summit of Pikes Peak.
This achievement comes two days ahead of what would've been required to break a record.
A man supposedly pushed a peanut up Pikes Peak with his nose 93 years ago. Since then, the challenge has been tackled a few times but never in the 21st century.
Now, Bob Salem of Colorado Springs will be the first.
Pushing the peanut up the mountain is in honor of Manitou Springs' 150-year celebration of city life. Additionally, he's raised money for charity.
Ahead of his journey, KRDO sat down with him. Salem insisted he wasn't nuts, just "eccentrically challenged."
"I like the weird and the strange. I love local stuff," he says.
Track his progress here.

Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. I don’t know if you noticed, but the Seattle Mariners have decided they have progressed past the need to lose games and are only winning games from here on out. I am just as surprised as you are!
Before we get into the extremely cool current winning streak, I want to talk more about All-Stars. Turns out I misspoke last week. Just because Ty France was the second leading vote-getter for AL first basemen, that did NOT guarantee him a roster spot for reasons that are still extremely unclear to me and everyone else not named Dusty Baker. He also did not get picked to fill the injured Yordan Álvarez’s DH spot due to a clerical error I guess? Y’all know France is the DH quite often, right? He also fields his other position quite well, unlike Error Yordan over there. One can only speculate that Baker left France off due to his role (guy who gets hit by pitches often??) in the dust-up with the Astros that resulted in suspensions for Baker and reliever Héctor Neris.
I’m also still miffed about zero (0) Mariners pitchers being chosen by the illustriously petty Baker. Robbie Ray and Logan Gilbert both deserved it as much as any of the starters who were selected and Paul Sewald and Diego Castillo were also very deserving.
But hey, the one thing I thought we Mariners fans were going to have to push much harder for happened the following Sunday after my post. JULIO RODRÍGUEZ IS AN ALL-STAR! And he’s doing the Home Run Derby! MLB gets something right on the first try?! In this economy?! That makes both the HRD and ASG appointment-viewing for all Mariners fans. They just announced that Julio will face off with the younger Seager in the first round of the derby. I think he can take Kyle’s Brother, honestly.

Moving right along, I wanted to thank y’all for all of your excellent Mariners All-Star squad submissions in the comments last week. It was a regular ol’ Let’s Remember Some Guys fest and I enjoyed the heck out of it. Also, many people added in the DH position that I omitted in favor of bench spots. I regret the error and I beg for Saint Edgar’s forgiveness.
Here are a few favorite squads y’all submitted that I wanted to highlight:
I like the theme of this one, the “Hall of Pretty Good Mariners” list of All-Stars.
I like this one because it offends every single one of my delicate sensibilities, god damn.
This was one of the best and most well-researched single-season studs team, very well done!
Okay, enough about All-Stars. Let’s do a quick poll about this rip-roaring Mariners winning streak and then we’ll get to the prompt.

As the legendary Shoresy once said:
Onto the prompt! So, I dropped a similar one into the chart comments after the Mariners had clinched their longest winning streak since 2003 after the first win in DC (back when the streak was only a measly 9 games) on Wednesday and people had lots to share. So if you missed that, now is your chance and also everyone else gets another shot to elaborate more if they want.
Longest winning streaks in @Mariners history:

Prompt: Tell us about the top 3 most significant things that have happened in your life since the last time the Mariners won 11 games in a row (July 2002). They can be good or bad, just anything that had a large impact on your life.
On behalf of the whole LL staff, I want to thank our community for being super engaged and awesome throughout the ups and downs of the first half of this season, and especially so right now when it’s truly, viscerally exciting to be following every pitch of these Mariners games. Feels good to feel, right? As Zach Mason said after the home opener, “Yes, optimism is a risk. But taking a risk is easier when you’re not alone.”
Thanks, everyone, for being on the ride with us.

Mexico captures infamous drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero
Infamous drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who was behind the killing of a U.S. DEA agent in 1985, has been captured by Mexican forces nearly a decade after walking out of a Mexican prison and returning to drug trafficking, an official with Mexico's navy confirmed Friday.
The source was not authorized to speak publicly and agreed to confirm the action only if not quoted by name. No further details about the capture were immediately available.
Caro Quintero walked free in 2013 after 28 years in prison when a court overturned his 40-year sentence for the 1985 kidnapping and killing of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. The brutal murder marked a low point in U.S.-Mexico relations.
Caro Quintero, the former leader of the Guadalajara cartel, had since returned to drug trafficking and unleashed bloody turf battles in the northern Mexico border state of Sonora.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has maintained that he is not interested in detaining drug lords and prefers to avoid violence.
An appeals court overturned Caro Quintero’s verdict, but the Supreme Court upheld the sentence. It was too late by then; Caro Quintero was spirited off in a waiting vehicle.
He was on the FBI’s most wanted list, with a $20 million reward for his capture through the State Department’s Narcotics Rewards Program. He was added to the FBI’s top 10 most wanted list in 2018.
Caro Quintero was one of the primary suppliers of heroin, cocaine, and marijuana to the United States in the late 1970s. He blamed Camarena for a raid on a marijuana plantation in 1984. In 1985, Camarena was kidnapped in Guadalajara, allegedly on orders from Caro Quintero. His tortured body was found a month later. | https://www.ketv.com/article/mexico-drug-lord-rafael-caro-quintero/40628135 | 2022-07-15T23:07:47Z | https://www.ketv.com/article/mexico-drug-lord-rafael-caro-quintero/40628135 | true | 13 |
'Guardian angel': Solar panel installer finds missing girl with autism in marsh
A solar panel installer is being called a hero after finding a little girl who had been reported missing, Massachusetts police said.
Police said Jake Manna was working in the Buttermilk Bay neighborhood in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Wednesday when he learned people in the neighborhood were searching for a 5-year-old girl with autism. He stopped work and joined the search.
Manna walked down a rural trail that ended at a stream, where he saw a diaper and T-shirt in the water. He ran down the stream and found the girl in waist-deep water, police said. The girl was walking into deeper water.
Manna was able to make his way to her, put her over his shoulder and carry her out, police said.
“If he didn't pick that path and see the missing clothing, we hate to think about what the outcome would have been,” police posted.
Manna is not from Plymouth and doesn't know the area.
"That girl had a guardian angel yesterday, and his name was Jake," said Officer Vinnie Roth, who was responding to the original call.
Plymouth police presented Manna with a certificate and Command Coin by Chief Dana Flynn and Capt. James LeBretton.
“He is the nicest, most unassuming young man that one could meet,” police said. | https://www.wlwt.com/article/man-finds-girl-with-autism-in-marsh/40628414 | 2022-07-15T23:08:48Z | https://www.wlwt.com/article/man-finds-girl-with-autism-in-marsh/40628414 | false | 11 |
Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported that rival executives believe LA Angels starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard will be available via trade around the deadline. Syndergaard signed a one-year deal with the Angels this past offseason after returning for a brief time in 2021 from Tommy John Surgery. He has revamped his arsenal in Los Angeles and is no longer the power fastball pitcher we saw in New York. He is now very sinker and slider reliant, which has caused a drop in strikeouts. He’s pitched to a 5-7 record with a 4.00 ERA. Syndergaard has proven he is still a sold middle-of-the-rotation asset and would be a relatively cheap addition for a contender.
Los Angeles Angels Betting Odds
Syndergaard being up for grabs is due to the Angels falling out of contention in the American League. Despite their talent, consistency has been an issue. When you’re in a division with the Houston Astros, the division crown can get away fast. The Angels are a team to fade from here on out, especially if they will be sellers at the deadline. Tonight’s a great spot to fade them as they’re up against the LA Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw. Hurry and grab the Dodgers line at Fanduel Sportsbook before it’s too juiced. | https://nesn.com/bets/2022/07/angels-p-noah-syndergaard-on-the-trade-block/ | 2022-07-15T23:09:03Z | https://nesn.com/bets/2022/07/angels-p-noah-syndergaard-on-the-trade-block/ | false | 1 |
Will the Opposition achieve relevancy? Only time will tell.
I’m trying this morning to get a feeling for the future of politics in our country. Not much critical analysis has been written about the aftermath of the May 21 election.
Probably the most substantive thing I noticed was that the young have finally caught up with the aged. Yes, the Millennials have caught up with the Baby Boomers. Let me explain: For many years the old have supported the right of politics, and the young have latched onto the left. Polls have consistently shown this. The seniors in an ageing population are dying quickly and taking the conservative vote with them.
The young left vote has been exposed in significant proportion. Labor, the Greens and the Independents obtained 75% of the total vote. The old card-carrying supporter of my vintage has gone, and the young with no natural allegiance have moved in.
Our national census tells multiple stories about a country experiencing considerable change. It doesn’t paint much of a picture of the chances of the right in the next election. Population shifts in Victoria and New South Wales will lead the Electoral Commission to eliminate what were three blue-ribbon Coalition seats. All now held by so-called Teal Independents.
Another ingredient in this recipe for a rapidly changing nation is its browning. And the focus on immigration has shifted from the end of the war, white Europeans and the 60s, Italians and Greeks, and the Asian influx that followed to the now Middle Easton, African and Indian persuasion.
In my thoughts on what might emerge in the aftermath of the election, I find it astonishing that no self-reflection has occurred. I mean, does the Coalition think they were just victims of being in office a tad long? Maybe they feel that being on the far right eliminates any circumspection.
We have heard not even a cry that the leader failed or that we should never have appointed him as our leader. It’s as if he is not to blame for anything – the young saw his deceit and cunning through his lies and voted with purpose. Why couldn’t more of the elderly see through him?
At this point in my writing, you are probably asking yourself, “didn’t he watch Four Corners?” on July 3. I did, but it only focused on branch stacking and pre-selection in NSW. There is more to it than that.
I want to know why Morrison had such a hold on the party. When it became apparent that they were going to lose, why was he not confronted? Why wasn’t he told to tone down his religiosity? Those and many other questions remain unanswered.
It leaves the conservative parties caught between a rock and a hard place. Just like when John Howard advised Tony Abbott against Royal Commissions into the Unions and Pink Batts, opining that they weren’t worth the trouble.
Labor hasn’t much choice. Having championed a Corruption Commission for so long, the Prime Minister is duty-bound to provide it with some work. They have enough investigative work to last a couple of years.
Here are but a few examples of alleged corruption:
The land they paid 30 times its value for, Sports rorts, misappropriation of water from Murray-Darling by coalition donors, $444m to Great Barrier Reef Foundation with no tendering, many of Angus Taylor’s questionable activities, $30 million to Foxtel for no apparent reason and there is a list as long as the Flemington straight.
On the one hand, voting against an Integrity Commission will cause much grief for the Opposition. On the other, they, the Coalition, have no choice but to vote for one in the knowledge that there are those in their party who will have to face the music for their sins.
What happened with Robodebt and who gave the order to proceed when it was illegal needs a Royal Commission.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will have to make a similar choice to Abbott’s. He can say that we must investigate all the allegations to return to a decent democracy or that he is not into vengeance politics. However, we may need a prick of spite to prove what can happen to democracies when corruption is allowed to flourish. I believe blood needs to flow now so that the governance we were forced to endure never happens again.
Of the many mountains the Coalition will have to climb to return to its once-held dominance, none will be more important than relevance. It will not be regaining lost seats or how far right it should go, but how relevant are they as political parties. By the next election, their base will be further eroded by the loss of more elderly voters, leaders unsuited to the times and two parties who have drifted away from each other. So much so that even talking to each other brings on conflicts.
You cannot buy relevancy. It doesn’t come in a box. It comes about with good policy, leaders of proven trust and saleability, and a capacity to overcome past errors.
At the moment, the leader of the National Party, David Littleproud, looks out of his depth. Peter Dutton has picked a rather odd time to go on leave (all expenses paid) after declaring that his party’s policy on climate won’t change and that he will fight the next election on education in the belief that communists are teaching our children.
Making it even harder is a Government quite the opposite of the previous one – a trustworthy leader backed by a team of competent ministers ready to put things right over time. An understanding electorate is glad of the truth even when difficult to swallow. This Coalition has none of these prerequisites.
Anthony Albanese exhibits leadership qualities the populace has been waiting a decade for. Of vast experience with a diplomatic manner and forceful tone. Comfortable on the global stage without a hint of self-importance.
Yes, inflation may rise to 7%. Yes, interest rates will continue to go up. Yes, climate change and energy will be costly, but the people will accept it if you tell them the truth. The same goes for our debt.
Relevance is a consistent reminder of how the electorate views its politicians. The Government is ready to do its job; the Greens are emboldened and Teals excited. This parliament starts its repair work on Tuesday, July 26 2022. The question is, though, will the Opposition have any relevancy? Only time will tell.
The independents and the Greens would do well to recognise that they are not in power. They, along with the Opposition, form part of the body politic and should behave maturely if they want to be seen as relevant.
My thought for the day
The ability of thinking human beings to blindly embrace what they are being told without referring to evaluation and the consideration of reason never ceases to amaze me. It is tantamount to the rejection of rational explanation.

Biden In Saudi Arabia Holds ‘Important Discussions’ With King, Crown Prince
By Arab News
US President Joe Biden arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday, the latest stop on his first Middle East tour as US leader, where he met with the Kingdom’s leadership.
In a speech made from his Jeddah hotel on Friday evening, Biden said he had held “important discussions” with King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
He praised the role the Kingdom played in the “stabilization” of Yemen and its support of a UN-brokered ceasefire, adding: “I agreed with the Saudi leadership to deepen and extend it.”
Biden announced that peacekeeping forces in Tiran and Sanafir will leave their positions, which he said would contribute to the development of the islands for investments and tourism.
He added that Saudi Arabia’s security needs and global energy issues were also discussed, including cooperation on clean energy initiatives.
Biden arrived at King Abdulaziz International Airport in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah on the third day of a four-day swing through the Middle East, where he was received by Makkah Gov. Prince Khalid Al-Faisal and the Saudi ambassador to the US Princess Reema bint Bandar.
He then met with the king, where they reviewed the historical relations between Saudi Arabia and the US and ways to strengthen them to serve the interests of the two countries in various fields, the official Saudi Press News Agency reported.
He spent the first two days meeting with Israeli officials and traveled to the West Bank on Friday to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and others before flying to Saudi Arabia.
Biden also met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at Al-Salam Palace, where they also discussed aspects of bilateral cooperation in a number of fields, and ways to confront regional and international challenges.
The talks were attended by Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, Minister of Sport Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef, Minister of Interior Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif, Saudi ambassador to the US Princess Reema bint Bandar, and Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, along with a number of other senior officials.
The meeting was also attended by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and US envoy to Yemen Tim Lenderking.
Biden also will take part in a Saturday gathering of leaders from the Gulf Cooperation Council — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE — before returning to Washington. The leaders of Mideast neighbors Egypt, Iraq and Jordan are also to attend.
The Saudi leadership paved the way for Israeli planes to use its airspace by announcing it was lifting restrictions on “all carriers,” a move welcomed by Biden as “historic.”
“Saudi Arabia’s decision can help build momentum toward Israel’s further integration into the region, including with Saudi Arabia,” the US leader said.
Biden’s direct flight is the first by an American president from Israel to Saudi Arabia. | https://www.eurasiareview.com/16072022-biden-in-saudi-arabia-holds-important-discussions-with-king-crown-prince/ | 2022-07-15T23:26:49Z | https://www.eurasiareview.com/16072022-biden-in-saudi-arabia-holds-important-discussions-with-king-crown-prince/ | false | 1 |
(NewsNation) — More than a week after a Texas mother went missing from her home, investigators are still looking for any clues that might turn up answers in the investigation into her disappearance.
Chrissy Powell was last seen July 5 on a Ring doorbell camera leaving her San Antonio home. The video shows Powell, a mother of two, leaving in a rush. She left her phone behind, but she never arrived to work that day at a legal firm seven miles away.
Lauren Leal said it was uncharacteristic of her lifelong friend to not show up for work.
“We’re in our late 30s, we have a very strong work ethic,” Powell said. “We’ve always, you know, if you say you’re gonna be at work, you’re gonna be at work, and I think that’s why she woke up and was like, panic mode.”
Leal came from out of town to help search for Powell, to no avail. The family has been unable to locate her car.
Attorney Robert Wilson, Powell’s employer, said she informed the office she had overslept that day and was on her way in. But when she didn’t show up, the office manager went to Powell’s home to investigate.
“Employees are hard to find right now. And, you know, they’re not all perfect or do a wonderful job. And one employee that … stood out to us was Chrissy because she was so low-key and there wasn’t any drama,” Wilson said.
The San Antonio Police Department is working on the case, warning that Powell also left home without her medication.
Powell’s mother told NewsNation her daughter had an argument with her ex-boyfriend over the Fourth of July weekend, but it was nothing she found disturbing. The family said police have spoken with the ex, and they don’t believe he knows where she is.
Leal said she’ll continue the search for her friend for as long as it takes.

EUGENE, Ore. — Before crossing the finish line for the very last time in a career that made her America's most decorated sprinter, Allyson Felix was interested in something far more leisurely — a stroll down memory lane.
She flashed back to the time when she was a shy 17-year-old sprinting prodigy, with Olympic and world-championship glory still only a hopeful vision.
She wondered: Would teenage Allyson have imagined that by the time she reached 36, and was getting ready for her very last race at the world championships in Eugene, Oregon, she would have accomplished this much — inside and outside of her lane?
Felix certainly found her speed on the track and, later, her voice away from it. She's starred in big stadiums worldwide — 29 Olympic and world-championship medals — and stared down Nike on pregnancy issues during her journey toward becoming an advocate for women's rights.
On Friday, after a 4x400 mixed relay, Felix will bid farewell to the track scene. She might even take off her Saysh shoes — her new company — and leave them on the track.
One last symbolic gesture to bring home one unmistakable message — she left a powerful footprint.
“I’m super-proud of all the stuff that’s happened on the track,” Felix said in an interview with The Associated Press. “But I think my biggest accomplishments are the things that didn’t necessarily get a medal."
Soon, Felix will be just mom. Not a sprinter. Not a sprinter-slash-mom. Just mom. She likes the sound of that.
She's looking forward to a much slower pace. Like taking her daughter, Camryn, who turns 4 on Nov. 28, to soccer practice.
“Excited for all the normal things — things that might seem boring to some," said Felix, who is from California. "I’ve grown so much from that teenage girl who started out and was so shy. I never would have imagined this: Running into my 30s. That would’ve felt ancient at 17 years old.”
Since turning pro out of high school, she’s been all about training and racing. Just trying to coax a little more speed out of her lanky frame, which earned her the playful nickname of “Chicken Legs." She won gold in her signature event, the 200 meters, at the 2012 London Games — one of her 11 Olympic medals. She's earned plenty of hardware as part of relay teams, too, and is favored to help bring home another Friday (she didn't qualify in an individual event).
“There’s nothing like standing on the line and knowing that you’re going to find out who’s the fastest on that day,” Felix said.
No doubt, she's in G.O.A.T. territory — greatest of all time. Right up there with track royalty such as Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, Jesse Owens, Michael Johnson, the late Florence Griffith Joyner and Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
“Her connection to the sport transcends being a fast runner,” said Joyner-Kersee, the Hall of Famer whose husband, Bobby Kersee, has been a longtime coach to Felix. ”We’ll miss her presence on the field. But her heart and soul will always be connected to the sport. That will never be lost or forgotten."
What Felix won’t miss is easy: Coach Kersee’s intense workouts. Just the other day, he put her through one final grueling training session.
It included a 500-meter all-out sprint. Felix collapsed in exhaustion at the end.
“I don’t care for anything where you have to pass the starting line," Felix cracked.
New starting line: Her voice.
She always had the platform but was hesitant to use it through most of her career. She didn’t want to ruffle feathers.
“I just felt like, 'Head down. This (track) is what I’m supposed to do,’” Felix said.
Not anymore. Not since a complicated pregnancy, when she dealt with preeclampsia and underwent an emergency C-section to deliver Camryn.
Her deal with Nike ran out in December 2017. She explained in a New York Times editorial piece a few years ago that Nike wanted to pay her 70% less. Although she was willing to accept a reduction, she wanted assurances around maternity. It was declined.
She followed the likes of runners Alysia Montaño and Kara Goucher in speaking out about the need for sponsors to support female competitors before, during and after pregnancy — that contracts shouldn’t penalize someone for starting a family. Ultimately, the stance led to change. Nike later announced it planned to alter contracts so female athletes weren’t penalized for having babies.
Felix counts that as one of her biggest wins. She's also spoken on Capitol Hill about overcoming racial gaps in the maternal mortality crisis.
“This is something where lives could be changed by and affected by,” Felix said. "That was really big for me.”
Same with this — starting the footwear company Saysh, which was created for women. In Tokyo, she earned a bronze medal in the 400 while wearing spikes she envisioned.
That bronze, for all it symbolized, meant just as much to her as gold.
“It was really bigger than just the medal or the time or any of that," she said. "It was actually a huge accomplishment for me to make it to that (Olympics) and to be able to talk to so many people who said they saw themselves in me.”
She has certainly inspired the next generation.
"There’s nobody like her," said 24-year-old sprinter Kaylin Whitney, who is in the women's 4x400 relay pool. “She’s been in the sport for so long, and I’ve yet to hear one negative thing about her. You never will. She’s just that type of person where she does everything and anything for the sport.”
The reason for her retirement is straightforward: She's 36 now and simply didn't have the same fire (or speed) with the finish line in sight.
“To be at the top, you have to have that hunger," Felix said.
That hunger now lies elsewhere: With growing her company. With being a champion for women's rights. With raising Camryn.
Felix recently took a photo with her daughter. She wore her racing outfit and Camryn an apropos shirt. It simply read: “My mom is faster than your mom." | https://www.whas11.com/article/news/nation-world/allyson-felix-reflects-on-footprints-shes-leaving-on-track-eugene/507-826e4af0-30da-4cfa-8915-6b8bb5aa24a6 | 2022-07-15T23:43:24Z | https://www.whas11.com/article/news/nation-world/allyson-felix-reflects-on-footprints-shes-leaving-on-track-eugene/507-826e4af0-30da-4cfa-8915-6b8bb5aa24a6 | true | 27 |
JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets toward southern Israel early Saturday, hours after U.S. President Joe Biden concluded a visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
One of the rockets was intercepted by aerial defenses and the other fell in an open area, the military said. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
No Palestinian group claimed responsibility for the rocket fire, which activated warning sirens in the coastal city of Ashkelon and the surrounding area.
Israel often blames Hamas, the militant group ruling Gaza, for any violence emanating from the Palestinian enclave.
Tension that soared in recent months had largely subsided in the run-up to and during Biden’s three-day trip to Israel and the West Bank.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with Biden in the West Bank city of Bethlehem on Friday.
Hamas dismissed Biden’s expressions of sympathy for the Palestinians, calling the United States “a partner in the aggression on our people.” It also criticized Abbas for meeting with Biden and reiterating his support for a peace process with Israel.
Hamas doesn’t recognize Israel. Since taking over Gaza by force in 2007, the militant group and Israel fought four deadly wars and numerous rounds of cross-border violence. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Rockets-fired-from-Gaza-into-Israel-hours-after-17308635.php | 2022-07-15T23:44:40Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Rockets-fired-from-Gaza-into-Israel-hours-after-17308635.php | true | 12 |
Which Centrum multivitamin is best?
Centrum has been producing multivitamins since 1978 to help people with their health and wellness. The brand is one of the most recommended by doctors and pharmacists for its science-backed, innovative dietary supplements.
Whether you need basic immune support or are suffering from a deficiency, these multivitamins can help round out your dietary needs. The best one for men is the Centrum Multivitamin For Men. There are also multivitamins meant for women, children and older people.
What to know before you buy a Centrum multivitamin
Benefits of multivitamins
Multivitamins are meant as a kind of one-stop-shop for those whose diets lack essential vitamins or minerals. Among other things, Centrum multivitamins can help with the following:
- Immune system function: Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can increase the risk of illness or infection. Vitamins C, D and E can help support immune system health.
- Eye health: Riboflavin, omega-3, niacin and many vitamins can help improve vision and support eye health.
- Heart and brain health: Multivitamins contain such things as magnesium, folate, calcium, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. These can reduce the risk of heart disease and improve brain function.
- Muscle and bone health: Branched-chain amino acids and many vitamins, such as vitamins A, C and D, can help with muscle and bone development and health.
- Nervous system function: Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 are some of the ingredients that give the nervous system a healthy boost.
- Metabolic function: A daily multivitamin with ingredients such as vitamins D and B12 can improve one’s metabolism.
- Energy: Certain vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin, biotin and B12, can give you an energy boost. Getting the right nutrients can also help with this.
- Memory, mood and concentration: Certain minerals and vitamins in multivitamins can support the production of serotonin and give your mood and concentration a boost.
- Blood sugar levels: Magnesium and other vitamins and minerals found in multivitamins can regulate blood sugar levels. They can also support essential nerve functions.
When getting Centrum multivitamins, check the ingredients and specific benefits it’s supposed to provide. That way, you can get the most support for your health. If you’re not sure that multivitamins are right for you, consult a doctor.
Recommended group
Everyone’s body and dietary needs are different, based on things such as sex and age. Because of this, Centrum multivitamins are geared toward the following groups:
- Men
- Women
- Children
- Those age 50 and over
People’s nutritional requirements change as they get older. For example, most children do not need the same amount of minerals as adults. Older individuals, meanwhile, often need a higher dose of certain vitamins, such as B12 or D. Before taking any multivitamin, check the label to make sure it’s intended for you.
Potential issues
Some people need to take multivitamins because of a specific health issue, such as a nutritional deficiency. These are often caused by conditions such as:
- Poor diet
- Celiac or Chrohn’s disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Pregnancy
However, be careful when introducing any dietary supplement into your routine. In particular, if you take certain medications, they could interact negatively or become less effective due to the multivitamin.
What to look for in a quality Centrum multivitamin
Recommended dose
In most cases, you should take only one Centrum multivitamin a day. If you forget to take it, don’t double up the next day and take two — simply take one, as usual. Some supplements have frequency and dosage recommendations, so check the packaging for instructions.
The best time to take a multivitamin depends on the person, their routine and the supplement. Some are fat-soluble, meaning you should take them with a meal. Others can be taken any time of day.
Avoid drinking caffeinated beverages that contain tannin, such as black tea or coffee, immediately around the time you consume any dietary supplement. Tannin can interfere with the effects or prevent your body from properly absorbing them.
Form
Most multivitamins, including Centrum ones, come in one of three forms:
- Tablets or capsules: The most common type, these are meant to be swallowed whole, usually with water. They come in different sizes and are either oblong or circular. Most adult multivitamins come in this form.
- Gummies: Many multivitamins for children come in gummy form and should be chewed before swallowing them. They’re often fruit-flavored.
- Liquid: If you have difficulty swallowing tablets and don’t want to chew your multivitamin, a liquid multivitamin is a good alternative. Since it’s liquid, the body can also absorb it more easily and quickly.
Count
Both tablet and gummy multivitamins usually specify the count on the label of the container. The count ranges from 30 to 120, on average. Gummies often have a smaller count than capsules. Liquid supplements are typically between 8 and 32 ounces.
How much you can expect to spend on a Centrum multivitamin
Centrum multivitamins cost $10-$30, on average. Gummies usually cost more for a smaller count than tablets.
Centrum multivitamin FAQ
Do Centrum multivitamins have an expiration date?
A. All dietary supplements have an expiration date based on the least stable ingredient used. Check the packaging for the date. If you take multivitamins after that date, they could be less effective.
Do multivitamins gummies contain gluten or allergens?
A. Centrum multivitamin gummies do not contain crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, eggs, milk, soy, fish, wheat or peanuts. They are also gluten-free.

Today (July 15), Toosii dropped off his new single ‘Love Is…‘ via South Coast Music/Capitol Records.
The almost 4-minute track offers us a soul-baring look at the pain and confusion that follows a break-up. Toosii’s poetic delivery is accompanied poignant keyboards. ‘Love Is…’ samples the Julia Michaels song ‘Love Is Weird,’ a song from her 2021 debut album. Toosii shared a snippet of the song on TikTok earlier this month. Since then, the sound has more than 35,000 creations with over 14 million combined views on the platform.
In the official video for ‘Love Is…,’ Toosii revisits and reflects on a relationship’s tragic end. The visual was shot in Los Angeles. He once again linked with director Noratchetss, who he has previously collaborated with on videos such as ‘Secrets‘ and ‘Traumatized.’ You can watch the video here.
‘Love Is…’ comes just a week before the 22-year-old Syracuse-born, Raleigh-based artist will perform at Rolling Loud Miami (July 23). He will also perform on the Rolling Loud stage in New York on September 25. Toosii released the mixtape ‘Thank You For Believing‘ after beginning 2021 as a member of XXL’s esteemed Freshman Class. The mixtape earned acclaim from The Fader, Complex, The Source and others. He followed up the success of the mixtape by releasing a deluxe edition, ‘Thank You For Believing: The Manifestation,’ which included 10 additional original songs. He eventually crossed the threshold of one billion global catalog streams and completed his first U.S. headline tour (which included sold-out shows in New York City, Chicago, Boston, Houston, Orlando and Washington, DC) by year’s end.
‘Love Is…’ is the follow-up to ‘Keeper,’ which was named as one of the “best new hip hop songs” by XXL Mag upon its release last month. HotNewHipHop said, “The beat for the song is exemplary, combining both an R&B and hip-hop sound. Toosii shows off his ability to be a rapper and a singer all on the same track.” Hailing ‘Keeper’ as one of the “songs you need to add to your rotation,” BET observed, “Toosii has a knack for heartfelt records.” View the official video for ‘Keeper’ here.
What do you think about Toosii’s new single and video? Be sure to let us know in the comments. | https://globalgrind.com/5363774/toosii-love-is/ | 2022-07-16T00:04:38Z | https://globalgrind.com/5363774/toosii-love-is/ | false | 8 |
Malik Tillman joins Rangers on season-long loan deal from Bayern Munich
Rangers last night secured Bayern Munich midfielder Malik Tillman as their fifth summer signing on a season-long loan with an exclusive option to buy him next summer.
The 20-year-old’s move was confirmed as Tillman welcomed “a new challenge for me at a huge club with fantastic supporters” in a message on Rangers’ social media. The Times revealed yesterday that Rangers were close to completing his transfer despite speculation that he might move to the English Premier League instead.
Tillman played for Bayern at youth level after signing for them in 2015 and he broke into the German champions’ first team last season, making appearances in the Champions League and Bundesliga.

Zucchini Bread VI
This is a lighter version of zucchini bread. It has a nice lemon flavor and plenty of pecans.
This is a lighter version of zucchini bread. It has a nice lemon flavor and plenty of pecans.
This bread is soooo good. If you leave out the pecans, sub all natural applesauce for veg oil and splenda for sugar, each serving is about 100 cals, 1 g. of fat and no sugar! These are absolutely fabulous.
Read Morevery moist but not much flavor. added more cinnamon and used 2/3c of apple sauce and 1/3c oil instead of all oil. added 2c of zuchini.

I made a LOT of changes to this bread, but it still was delicious! Used whole wheat flour, brown sugar and used vanilla extract instead of lemon. I also substituted 3/4 cup of skim milk for the eggs and oil because my mom has an egg allergy. Some reviewers said this bread didn't have enough spice, so I took their advice and added 1/2 teaspoon each of nutmeg and cloves. The end result was a bread that rose well, tasted great and had a wonderful moist texture, which was suprising because it was virtually fat free (until my dad began to slather it in butter...;-) Thanks for an awesome recipe!
OOPS! Gave this recipe to my mom, suggested she follow the advice of "PERSONA" submitted in 2004, she used the honey, olive oil & less sugar but accidentally used lemon juice instead of lemon extract. It wasn't very lemony but it was, and I sware, the moistest, best zucchini bread I ever had. I intend to make the same mistake.
This is wonderfully light bread. I used about 3/4 cup sugar and substituted whole wheat flour for about half the all purpose flour. My sons who were afraid of zucchini even liked it.
so so so so good. So easy to make, and it made the whole house smell delicious. I'll never use another zucchini bread recipe!
My husband and I loved this bread! I used 2/3 cup white sugar and added 1/3 cup honey and used olive oil, just under the recommended amount. I also added 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg.
Made this recipe over the weekend and all I can say is...... This is Excellent!
mine turned out rather heavy, I think because I substituted applesauce for the oil. next time I may do half and half and see if that makes a difference. I also used real lemon zest instead of extract, and I have to say it was quite lemony, but luckily not too overpowering. Has a good flavor, i am pleased :-) thanks for a great recipe! edit: 24 hours later, my entire loaf has been completely eaten up by my family! They all complimented it, and I will be making a few more loaves tonight :-)
Very moist and yummy, but lacking something...Nutmeg or cloves maybe. Personally it didn't seem to have enough salt so I served with salted butter. The butter made a difference!Overall it was tasty and worth trying! By the way it cooks beautiafully!!
This was the first zucchini bread I ever made and it was the best I ever had.
Excellent Bread! We tried it warm with cream cheese (non-fat, of course!). And loved it!
This is great stuff. I added some raisins and ground cloves but sure it would have been great as listed.
This is, hands down, my favorite zucchini bread recipe I've ever tried. I subbed applesauce for the oil as I always do when baking, but otherwise stuck to the recipe and it was perfect. Moist but not too dense or heavy. I don't know why it never occurred to me to use lemon extract before, but it's just the thing all of my other zucchini bread recipes were lacking. I'll be making this for years to come.
Great texture, easy to put together and everyone loves it!! Great for this time of year and good for you! I substituted lemon juice, added extra cinnamon, and applie pie spice to mine, and it was absolutely wonderful, full of flavor. Would highly recommend!
Wonderful zucchini bread!! I made this for my daughter so I omitted the nuts b/c she is allergic. TERRIFIC! I even made a 2nd batch for my husband to take to the office. EVERYONE enjoyed!
My group of coffee ladies loved this recipe! Very yummy - I used vanilla extract as I didn't have any lemon and was still great.
When we made this we changed a lot of things. First of all, we used part whole wheat flour. And then we found out that we didn't have lemon extract, so we used coconut. We also used applesause instead of oil. And to finish it off, we added almonds and dried coconut to the batter. It was exceptionally good. I hope this is helpful!
This is an excellent bread and would recommend it to anyone who loves zucchini bread. I saved it to my recipe box and have shared it with my mom. Great recipe.
This recipe was EXCELLENT. The only thing I changed was the amount of sugar to about 2/3 to 3/4 cup.
Not as sweet as I expected, which isn't a bad thing, but can't taste much lemon. It was a hit at the office though!
Excellent! Instead of using a loaf pan I used 2-9" cake pans buttered, poured batter half way up, baked for 25 mins. Also, used the honey and sugar ratio that another reviewer suggested.
This bread is different any breads I have try before.... it is very good.
Edit: I've made it twice now, and by the time the middle is done, the outside is very much overdone! Any suggestions?? I'm really frustrated! *** Great bread--but the bake time was too long for my oven. I added 3/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract and used 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup honey; otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and it came out great! Except that it got overdone in 60 minutes--I'd recommend starting at 50 and checking from there.
very moist but not much flavor. added more cinnamon and used 2/3c of apple sauce and 1/3c oil instead of all oil. added 2c of zuchini.
Great recipe; similar to one my Grandma Amy made in her wood stove many years ago. I used the zest of 1/2 lemon (tblsp) and 1 tsp fresh lemon juice instead of lemon extract. Lovely!/Lesley
I followed the recipe adding 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/2 cup raisins. Also added the topping suggested above...YUMM! Will definitely do this again...many times with ALL THIS ZUCCHINI! Thanks!
This is hands down the best zucchini bread I have ever had. It is absolutely delicious and does not lack in any flavor!! Beautiful and tasty results every time!
This is very good. I have never made zucchini bread before, and since I love lemon, I decided to give this a try. Loved it! The lemon flavor could have been even stronger for my taste, but otherwise this was excellent.
Very nice bread, with just a hint of lemon. I ate mine smothered in Lemon Curd. Delish!
I thought this was really dry and didn't taste like other Zucchini breads I've had. I'll try it again though with a little tweaking.
Easy to make and cooked great! But the final outcome was a little bland, even with adding some nutmeg. I think next time I'll up the spices and lemon extract to give it a little more flavor.
I loved this....Best recipe I have found..I love the fact u add nuts...I love nuts in anything...Thanks...
I have spent the last 4 nights trying different kinds of zucchini bread recipes from this site and this is the BEST so far. I did exactly as the recipe stated and it soooooo good!!!
My mom made this with lemon juice and I absolutely could not get enough of it!! Everybody should try this one!
Overall good. I added lemon zest (zest from one whole lemon) and that seemed to bring out the lemon flavor. I also used lemon juice instead of the lemon extract - because I had the "naked" lemon after I zested it. Also added nutmeg. It was very good - but no fireworks. I will make again and keep experimenting. Thanks!
Great Bread! Easy to make and tasted wonderful! The pecans are a great addition!
LOVE the hint of lemon! And yes, it looks beautiful when it comes out of the oven. My family wants more!
I made this recipe just as it was and it turned out great. I topped it with lemon flavored icing and added shaved lemon and lime peels for color. Great receipe
The only problem with this recipe is it takes a so long to prepare, however, it is worth the effort!
This bread was easy to make and almost perfect- the fatal flaw was that it was a little too lemon-y for my tastes. If I made it again I'd half the amount of lemon extract.
A lighter version of zucchini bread. I was disappointed that it didn't taste as lemony as I was expecting - it is not a lemon bread to be sure. However, we still devouring this yummy dessert bread. I added chocolate chips too and we enjoyed that.
So Good, and so easy to make, I felt like a real Baker after making this recipe. This is Zucchini Season in New England, I'll be making this One again- Thank you for the recipe.
I've never made zucchini bread before, but this was great! My kids loved it too.
Wanted to comment that the mixing time on the sugar and eggs seemed a little excessive. This bread is very dry with very little flavor. It does need more zucchini and more sugar/sweetner. Since I used vanilla extract instead of lemon I can't really comment on that. I will make this again but will not dry the liquid from my zucchini (dry or not to sry was not included in the directions). Other than the vanilla I followed the directions exactly and have made zucchini bread before, and this was not what I was expecting. But I will try it again with my own changes.
Too all the people trying to sub applesauce for oil, and skipping the nuts......of course it is dry and heavy, you just elimated ALL sources of oil/fat. Eating super healthy usually does not = eating super yummy. I didn't have lemon extract so I put in 2 tbl spoons of lemon juice. Also I added an 1/8 tsp of cloves and 1/8 tsp of nutmeg, and used walnuts instead of pecans (function of cost). Cloves go a long way and although it is still pretty darn good, next time it will be just a pinch.
This was my first zucchini bread and I think I was expecting something different - it was moist and tasty, but didn't seem to have very much zucchini. I only used 1/4 of a large zucchini - I was hoping to use a lot more up!
When my dad first took a bite of this bread he said "Delicious!" However you can't really taste the lemon, so I didn't enjoy it as much. But it was still very good. Baked for 50 minutes instead of 60 and turned out very nicely.
I made this yesterday as is and it was delicious. I didnt have to bake it for the full hour, it was about 50 minutes.
Delicious. I used half whole-meal flour and half regular flour. I added chocolate chips too. Smelled so good hot from the oven, but was great the next day as well. Even all the zucchini-hating kids devoured it.
This came out perfectly. Very moist. I omitted nuts only because I didn't have any on hand. I added lemon zest and Chinese Five Spice along with the cinnamon. I added in craisins as well. Delicious! Mine cooked for about 1.5 hrs.
It was good. I followed the recipe and I thought it was dry. I don't know what I would do different to make it not dry.
This is a keeper! Great taste & texture! I even made it a bit healthier by using 2 egg whites & 1 whole egg and using applesauce for a portion of the oil. The lemon taste is great.
I loved how easy and delicious this was! I don't really like zucchini but I have a new love of veggies now. I used more zucchini than called for in the recipe and it turned out so tasty and really moist.
I love this recipe. I sub vanilla extract for the lemon, walnuts for the pecans and I also add 2 full cups of grated zucchini. Everyone loves this bread, including picky kids. ;)
This is very...more-ish......because after one slice all you want is more more more!! :) so soft, reminds me of carrot cake. If you tried it and it didn't taste good, it's because you made it wrong!
I followed this recipe exactly just omitted the pecans because I can not eat them and it came out awesome, already ate two pieces. It is perfect and not too dense I will definitely make again.
Zucchini bread came out Fantastic, was enjoyed by everyone. Will be making this again real soon
I just took this bread out of the oven.Looks yummy, rose better then I expected. Can't wait to taste it. I'll post when I have. Didn't tweak a thing, except I omitted the nuts.
The only change I made was use Canola Oil instead of vegetable oil and I loved it. Shared with friend and she too will be making it. I loved the lemon flavor from the extract. Great addition to the regular recipes. Made it twice already!!!
This bread is really good! It has a rich flavor, and is moist. Instead of using pecans I used walnuts, and made four smaller loaves instead of one large loaf. I will definitely make this recipe again, as we have a lot of fresh zucchini.
It was a little dry, which is hard to do when working with Zucchini in baking.
great recipe i add allspice and a 1/4 cup of applesauce to it yummy.
I followed the recipe exactly. But my husband and I were disappointed. The bread came out beautiful. The lemon extract made the zucchini bread taste like a lemon bread. We could not get the taste of the normal cinnamon zucchini breads. I will make this again and use vanilla extract. No lemon.
Allrecipes should have an option to check a box if the review has modifications. it seems that MOST of these reviews have altered the recipe so how can this be and accurate review of this recipe. i would love to filter out reviews that didn't follow the recipe exactly as written. I haven't made it but i have to give it a rating in order to vent.

Falcons
Falcons’ third-round QB Desmond Ridder said he is working on relaying play calls from HC Arthur Smith to the huddle.
“Being able to pick them up and spit them out, that’s kind of just been my challenge,” Ridder said, via Michael Rothstein of ESPN. “And where I’ve been able to grow the most throughout this entire thing.”
Falcons QBs coach Charles London called Ridder a “natural leader” and the locker room has been very receptive to him.
“Guys kind of gravitate to him,” London said. “He’s a natural leader, and leadership is hard. It’s hard to judge somebody’s leadership. People can tell you he’s a leader, but most guys that are really great leaders, they lead by their own style, their own way.”
Smith thinks Ridder is “light-years ahead” of the typical rookie quarterback around the NFL.
“Some of the physical things you’ll see in time will catch up,” Smith said. “But he’s light-years ahead of most young quarterbacks from the neck up, and I will give him that compliment.”
Packers
Packers CB Rico Gafford said that he didn’t anticipate converting from receiver to cornerback this offseason after signing with the team in January.
“No, I didn’t know I was going to corner,” Gafford said, via Bill Huber of FanNation. “We showed up for offseason workouts and I was with the receivers, with the offense. I was learning the playbook, doing routes on air and going over certain plays and all that stuff.”
Gafford mentioned that HC Matt LaFleur approached him about changing positions following the 2022 NFL Draft.
“After the draft, Coach LaFleur came up to me and was like, ‘It would be in your best interests to go back to corner. You’ll probably have a better chance of making this team,’” Gafford said. “He told me straight up, ‘We love the things that you’re doing right now. You’re showing us a lot and we see that you can play.’”
Gafford is embracing his new role as a defensive back.
“Playing DB is what I love. That’s who I am,” Gafford said. “Just being out there, being able to compete, I just have a different type of feeling when I’m out there. I would explain it as having more swag out there. That’s what I would say. I just love it because I can really be myself.”
Panthers
Panthers QB Baker Mayfield‘s reputation definitely precedes him as he arrives in Carolina, as he’s an infamously strong personality and it led to conflicts with certain teammates in Cleveland. That edge and chip on his shoulder is also one of his assets as a leader at the position, so figuring out a better balance with his second team is a priority for Mayfield.
“There was a lot of lessons and experiences that I learned from when it comes to keeping some things in-house, but also being myself. That’s why I was drafted there, to help turn that place around and be the best version of myself,” Mayfield said via the Athletic’s Joe Person. “I think it’s easy to get lost in stories and media at the same time. It’s tricky to balance.”
Mayfield said he’s had discussions with Panthers GM Scott Fitterer and HC Matt Rhule about how to walk the line. Being a fiery player is good when it energizes teammates, not when it burns them.
“They want me to be myself and to be a good leader, be a great teammate. But I’ve always been vocal and being able to bring guys (up) and elevate them,” Mayfield said. “There’s balance. But that competitive nature, that’ll never go away. If I do that, then I shouldn’t be playing anymore.”
Fitterer worked for a long time with a Seahawks team built around channeling those types of personalities, so he says it’s something he’s comfortable with.
“I love the fact that he’s competitive and fiery, coming from a place in Seattle where we had a lot of those personalities,” he said. “I think that’s a key component to a team that wins, is having guys that are fiery, are emotional, that do want to win, that just means so much to them.”

Indiana doctor’s lawyer tells AG to halt false statements
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A lawyer on Friday emailed the Indiana state’s attorney general asking him to stop spreading false or misleading information about an Indianapolis doctor who performed an abortion in June on a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio.
Attorney Kathleen DeLaney sent the “cease and desist” letter to Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita on behalf of obstetrician-gynecologist Caitlin Bernard, who performed a medical abortion on the girl.
The letter says Rokita’s statements Wednesday on Fox News “cast Dr. Bernard in a false light and allege misconduct in her profession.” DeLaney said the doctor could file a defamation claim against Rokita if he does not comply.
Rokita told Fox that his office was investigating whether Bernard violated medical privacy laws by talking about the victim to the Indianapolis Star, and he said she failed to notify authorities about suspected child abuse. He offered no specific allegations of wrongdoing.
Records obtained by The Associated Press and other local media show Bernard submitted the report July 2, which is within the state’s required three-day reporting period for an abortion performed on a girl younger than 16.
“We are especially concerned that, given the controversial political context of the statements, such inflammatory accusations have the potential to incite harassment or violence from the public which could prevent Dr. Bernard, an Indiana licensed physician, from providing care to her patents safely,” the letter states.
A 27-year-old man has been charged in the girl’s rape, confirming the case that was scrutinized by Republican politicians and some media outlets. Those reactions grew in intensity after Democratic President Joe Biden expressed sympathy for the girl when signing an executive order protecting some abortion access last week.
“Like any correspondence, it will be reviewed if and when it arrives. Regardless, no false or misleading statements have been made,” Kelly Stevenson, a spokesperson in Rokita’s office, said via email.
Bernard tweeted Friday that she hopes “to be able to share my story soon.”
“It has been a difficult week, but my colleagues and I will continue to provide healthcare ethically, lovingly, and bravely each and every day,” she wrote.
Dr. Diana Contreras, chief health care officer at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, issued a statement saying, “No medical provider should be harassed, intimidated, or criminalized for doing their job. It is unconscionable and unacceptable, and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms.”

Friends of 35 years keep promise, split $361K lottery jackpot: ‘He is a true friend’
LEXINGTON, N.C. (Gray News) - North Carolina residents and friends of 35 years followed through on a promise the two made to split any big lottery wins with each other.
Scott Edwards and Perry Charles kept that pact when Charles recently won a $361,527 Fast Play jackpot.
“I looked at the amount you could win and thought to myself, ‘Man, I want this!’” Charles said.
According to the North Carolina Education Lottery, Charles chose to wait until he got home to see if he’d won. When he saw that he had, he called Edwards and kept his word.
“He is a true friend. I know that anything he says is the truth. So, I knew he wasn’t pulling my leg,” Edwards said.
Lottery officials said the two met while working for the Winn-Dixie supermarket company.
“We always talked about if we would hit something big, it didn’t matter if we went in together to get the ticket or if we got it separate, we were going to share it,” Charles said.
According to officials, Charles bought his winning $5 Double Win ticket from a Mast Food Mart on Old U.S. 64 East in Lexington. When he purchased his ticket, the Fast Play jackpot stood at a record $723,054. A $5 ticket receives 50% of the jackpot amount.
The odds of winning a Fast Play jackpot are 1 in 320,000, as shared by the NC Lottery.
Officials said the men arrived at lottery headquarters on Wednesday and collected their prize. After taxes, they received $128,361. Both said they were looking forward to paying some bills with the money.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The corporate owner of several local Las Vegas-area casinos said Friday it plans to demolish three shuttered hotel towers and sell the properties that have been closed since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020.
Red Rock Resorts said its Texas Station in North Las Vegas, neighboring Fiesta Rancho in Las Vegas and the Fiesta Henderson property will be razed “to reposition the land for sale,” although an ice rink at Fiesta Rancho will remain open.
“It is not without sadness that we announce these permanent closures,” said Scott Kreeger, president of Station Casinos, a subsidiary of Red Rock Resorts. He said about one in three employees from those aging hotel-casinos today works at another Station Casinos property.
Station also owns the Red Rock Resort west of the Las Vegas Strip, Santa Fe Station in northwest Las Vegas, Green Valley Ranch and Sunset Station properties in Henderson, and Palace Station and Boulder Station sites in Las Vegas. It operates several non-hotel Wildfire properties.
Red Rock Resorts in recent years bought, renovated and last year sold the Palms Casino Resort near the Las Vegas Strip to the Southern California-based San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. The tribe reopened that property in May.
Station Casinos is building a new property, dubbed the Durango Casino & Resort on a vacant site the company owns southwest of the Las Vegas Strip. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Vegas-company-s-3-Station-Casinos-sites-to-be-17308713.php | 2022-07-16T00:29:57Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Vegas-company-s-3-Station-Casinos-sites-to-be-17308713.php | false | 11 |

Groundbreaking Collaborative Research Program Will Explore Common Characteristics of Glaucoma, Alzheimer's
SAN FRANCISCO, July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Glaucoma Research Foundation (GRF), a national non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for glaucoma, has launched the fourth phase of its flagship collaborative research program, Catalyst for a Cure.
The Catalyst for a Cure Initiative to Prevent and Cure Neurodegeneration will investigate the common characteristics of diseases that occur when key cells in the central nervous system — eye, brain, spinal cord — deteriorate and die, causing a loss of function. Neurodegenerative conditions include glaucoma, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The Neurodegeneration Initiative was launched through a transformative $2.4 million gift to GRF from the Melza M. and Frank Theodore Barr Foundation. Philanthropist and former GRF board member Frank Theodore (Ted) Barr and his wife Melza have supported GRF for 40 years.
"We had been thinking about the challenge of neurodegeneration ever since the first Catalyst for a Cure initiative identified it as a factor in glaucoma, in 2006," says Mr. Barr. "We thought it was time to understand neurodegeneration in a fundamental way and develop solutions based on that knowledge."
The Barrs' gift will enable four talented investigators with diverse areas of expertise to collaborate for an initial period of three years. Consortium members are:
Sandro Da Mesquita, PhD
Assistant Professor, Department of Neuroscience
Meningeal Lymphatics and Neurological Disorders Lab, Mayo Clinic
Milica Margeta, MD, PhD
Physician and Surgeon, Massachusetts Eye and Ear
Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School
Karthik Shekhar
Assistant Professor, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
Faculty Scientist, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory; Member, Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute
University of California Berkeley
Humsa Venkatesh
Assistant Professor, Program in Neuroscience
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School
With the Neurodegeneration Initiative under way, GRF is now funding two simultaneous Catalyst for a Cure consortia that could change the lives of people with glaucoma. Ongoing since 2019, the Catalyst for a Cure Vision Restoration Initiative has made enormous strides that could soon result in the ability to protect, preserve, and even regenerate retinal ganglion cells — optic nerve components that degenerate and die with glaucoma, causing blindness.

AP Business Writers
NEW YORK (AP) — Consumers picked up their spending from May to June, underscoring their resilience despite painfully higher prices at the gas pump and in grocery aisles and allaying fears that the economy might be on the verge of a recession.
U.S. retail sales rose 1% in June, from a revised decline of 0.1 % in May, the Commerce Department said Friday.
The figures aren’t adjusted for inflation and so largely reflect higher prices, particularly for gas. But they also show that consumers are still providing crucial support for the economy and spending on such discretionary items as furniture, restaurant meals and sporting goods.
At the same time, last month’s spending gain is modest enough that it likely won’t encourage the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates even more aggressively. Stock prices rose after the report’s release.
"People did not fold in the face of the Ukraine shock and the subsequent surge in food and energy prices," said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. "Instead, they ran down a small part of their pandemic savings in order to keep up their discretionary spending."
Consumers still have significant savings, on average, bolstered by pandemic-era government relief checks and strong hiring and pay gains. JPMorgan executives said Thursday that their customers are still breaking out their credit and debit cards at a healthy pace.
Kathy Bostjancic, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, said that excluding inflation, retail sales still rose about 0.3% in June, up from a contraction of 0.4% in May. She expects the economy to grow at a slim 0.5% annual rate in the April-June quarter, after shrinking in the first three months of the year.
The report showed consumers' ongoing appetite for non-essentials like gadgets and furniture. In fact, sales at furniture stores rose 1.4%, while consumer electronics stores rose 0.4%. Online sales showed resurgence, posting a 2.2% increase. Business at restaurants was up 1%. But department stores took a hit, posting a 2.6% decline.
The solid figures bold well for the back-to-school shopping season, the second largest sales period behind the winter holidays. Mastercard SpendingPulse, which tracks spending across all payment forms including cash, forecasts that back-to-school spending will be up 7.5% from July 14 through Sept. 5 compared with the year-ago period when sales rose 11%.
But spending is volatile. The latest round of retail earnings reports published in May showed some slowing of spending, particularly with low income shoppers. RH, an upscale furniture chain, cut it sales outlook for the year last last month, pointing to deteriorating macro-economic conditions. It pointed to higher mortgage rates, which are slowing sales of luxury homes, indicating that even wealthy shoppers are pulling back.
Nevertheless, the overall solid spending came even as shoppers were confronted with high prices in all areas. U.S. inflation surged to a new four-decade high in June because of rising prices for gas, food and rent, squeezing household budgets and pressuring the Fed to raise rates aggressively — trends that raise the risk of a recession.
Blood results thrown out; DUI suspect’s name wasn’t on order
The government's consumer price index soared 9.1% in June compared with a year ago, the biggest yearly increase since 1981, with nearly half of the increase due to higher energy costs. The year-over-year leap in consumer prices last month followed an 8.6% annual jump in May. From May to June, prices rose 1.3%, following a 1% increase from April to May.
Some economists believe inflation might be reaching a short-term peak. Gas prices, for example, have fallen from $5 a gallon reached in mid-June to an average of $4.57 nationwide Thursday — still far higher than a year ago.
Accelerating inflation is a big problem for the Fed, too. The central bank is already involved in the fastest series of interest rate hikes in three decades, which it hopes will tame inflation by tamping down borrowing and spending by consumers and businesses.
The retail sales report covers about a third of overall consumer spending and doesn't include services, such as haircuts, hotel stays and plane tickets.

England stay perfect as Austria join Lionesses in Euro 2022 quarter-finals
By PA Staff published
Hosts England warmed up for the Euro 2022 quarter-finals with another demolition job as Northern Ireland were swept aside 5-0.
They will be joined by Austria, who stunned twice-winners Norway to end their participation at the tournament before the knockout stage.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the way another big day at the finals unfolded.
Five-star England
It took the hosts 41 minutes to make the pressure tell at St Mary’s, but once they did, they did so to devastating effect.
Kenny Shiels’ side were breached four times in 12 minutes either side of the break as Fran Kirby, Beth Mead and substitute Alessio Russo – twice – struck.
Kelsie Burrows’ own goal completed the scoring as the hosts, who had already secured their passage, eased home in impressive style.
Northern Ireland had already been eliminated from the competition.
Billa the kid
YES! Unglaubliche Leistung, Mädels! pic.twitter.com/Mq1rpZbDam— ÖFB – oefb.at (@oefb1904) July 15, 2022
Austria chose the perfect moment to claim their first win over Norway and dump them out of the tournament.
Hoffenheim striker Nicole Billa’s first-half header was enough to clinch a 1-0 victory at the Amex Stadium on a night when a draw would have been enough to progress courtesy of their superior goal difference.
In truth, it was no more than they deserved as the Norwegians, who won the tournament in 1987 and 1993, simply failed to turn up until the dying stages, by which point it was too late.
Austria’s reward is a tough last-eight clash with neighbours Germany, who have won the competition on no fewer than eight occasions.
Sarina sidelined
Speedy recovery, Sarina! ❤️— Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 15, 2022
Sarina Wiegman extended her unbeaten run as England’s head coach to 17 games as her side eased to victory over Northern Ireland, but she had to witness events at St Mary’s from afar.
The Football Association revealed hours before kick-off that Wiegman had tested positive for Covid-19 and, as a result, was recovering back at base camp as assistant Arjan Veurink took up the reins on a temporary basis.
An FA spokesperson said: “Wiegman will remain in remote contact with the players and technical staff and will be monitored regularly with a view to returning to all elements of her role as soon as possible.”
The England boss now faces a race against time to return to the dugout for the last-eight clash with either Spain or Denmark on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2664111281791/summer-fitness-series | 2022-07-16T00:45:03Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2664111281791/summer-fitness-series | true | null |

You want to take mine or yours? Kylie Jenner boasts about his and hers private jets in glamorous black and white photo with Travis Scott
Kylie Jenner appeared on Instagram ahead of the weekend to show off her and beau Travis Scott's wealth.
The billionaire beauty mogul, 24, shared a black and white image of her and the music artist, 31, with two large aircrafts.
She engaged her 358 million followers as she wrote in the caption: 'You wanna take mine or yours?'
Flashy photo: Kylie Jenner appeared on Instagram ahead of the weekend to show off her and beau Travis Scott's wealth
In the snapshot the twosome, who've been dating since 2017, embraced each other with their heads nuzzled in each other's shoulders.
Their four-year-old daughter Stormi Webster was also in on the affectionate moment as she hugged both her parents.
The photo was artistically taken as a wide shot, emphasizing the luxurious life outtake.
Behind the group of three were a two-toned Rolls Royce, and both Kylie and Travis' private jets.

Kyle's lustrous dark hair was pulled back with a clip, leaving the locks flowing down her back.
She dressed casually in a white short-sleeved t-shirt and high-waisted, shredded, loose-fitting jeans.
The mom-of-two, who earlier this year gave birth to a son whose name hasn't been revealed, wore a black purse over her shoulder.
Her daughter was in a white dress and a pair of sandals, while Travis sported a dark sweatshirt with its hood pulled over his head.
Display of affection: Kylie and Travis were loved-up in a recent selfie shared to social media
Earlier this week the longtime couple stepped out in West Hollywood two nights in a row.
They put on a fashionable display, with Kyle rocking a skintight black PVC mini dress for dinner at Craig's one night.
She made it a point to share photos from the evening with her social media followers.
One capture showed the Houston-born rapper hugging the reality TV star from behind as they posed in a mirror.
Number one fan: Kylie showed support for her man as she modeled an unreleased pair of sneakers from his most recent footwear collaboration
Later in the week Kylie showed support for her man as she modeled a pair of sneakers from his most recent footwear collaboration.
It came one day before Dior was set to release its B713 sneaker in conjunction with the rap star.
Jenner is an all-around nurturing partner, as evidenced by another recent post with Travis.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) — Rock singer Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins will perform a charity livestream show on July 27 to benefit the victims of the Fourth of July parade shooting in suburban Chicago that killed seven people and wounded more than 30.
Corgan, a 20-year resident of Highland Park, where the shooting happened, said the show will be at the city’s plant-based tea house Madame Zuzu’s, which he owns with his partner Chloe Mendel.
He made the announcement Thursday in a video posted on the Madame Zuzu’s Instagram, the Daily Herald reported.
“There are so many people here affected by this tragedy,” Corgan said in the video. “It’s very close to our hearts and we hope you’ll participate and support as well.”
Corgan said the show will feature several special guests. So far, Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin and jazz saxophonist Frank Catalano have been named.
The show will be streamed for free on the Smashing Pumpkins YouTube page. There will be a link for viewers to donate. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/entertainment/article/Billy-Corgan-to-play-charity-show-for-July-4-17308646.php | 2022-07-16T01:02:57Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/entertainment/article/Billy-Corgan-to-play-charity-show-for-July-4-17308646.php | true | 35 |
“Big Brother” host Julie Chen Moonves’ reasoning behind the mistreatment of houseguest Taylor Hale is not sitting well with fans.
In a new interview with E!’s “Daily Pop” on the heels of the recent scandal, the CBS show host, who is of Chinese descent, acknowledged that “Microaggressions are real and they happen,” sharing that “I don’t think most people when they are committing it, that they are even aware of what they’re doing.”
She added: “I think that with the live feeds, it is easy. I think what we need to do is ask ourselves, ‘Who am I? Who is anyone to judge somebody else?’”
Moonves, who is married to former CBS CEO Les Moonves, went on to seemingly claim that the display viewers have witnessed over the weeks, in what many critics online have described as “reprehensible behavior,” most notably carried out by contestants Alyssa Snider and now-former contestant Paloma Aguilar towards the 27-year-old personal stylist, is just the product of the environment.
“We haven’t walked in their shoes. We haven’t been in the Big Brother house,” Moonves said, referencing the show’s format, where 16 strangers isolate in one house together. “We haven’t been in that pressure cooker situation. And a lot of times when someone is feeling insecure about themselves, or seeing another individual as a threat to their game, that’s when you see classic Big Brother ‘I’m going to trash talk someone behind his or her back.’”
Moonves’ comments garnered even more pushback to the mounting backlash. Many have flocked to their social media page, sharing their thoughts on the television personality’s response to the ongoing controversy.
“Julie Chen you really trying to blame us for being Hypocritical when all we are doing is calling people out for being Assholes,” wrote one Twitter user. “BTW as you should know by now Big Brother is more than a game and shows people’s true colours, enough of your none-sense. It’s not a good look #bb24.”
Another person commented, “I know Julie Chen Moonves the lady who is sticking by her predator husband not talking about Twitter is the problem with #BB24. How about she hold the houseguest responsible for their terrible behavior and the network trying to cover it up. Like FOH Julie!”
In a separate interview with “Parade” magazine, Moonves, who’s been with the show since its premiere in 2000, shared, “What I think has been a little bit surprising is how Twitter and the internet has exploded in really jumping on someone, which I never like.”
The industry veteran doubled down on her previous statements on judgment, adding, “ I don’t think any of us are in any position to judge any other human being,” she said. “What I think Taylor has experienced in the house and what we’ve seen on the live feeds are separate from each other. A lot of it has been classic ‘Big Brother’ trash talk behind someone’s back because you feel threatened by them.”
Since the premiere of season 24 of the popular show, fans have pointed out incidents of bullying involving Hale. The display has garnered reactions from many on social media, including a casting producer and former contestant Tiffany Mitchell.
Watching Taylor cry really broke me down,” the “Big Brother” alum shared. “I could never imagine what she feels like to be alone WEEK 1 when there are 15 other people in that house. It’s giving Kemi BB21.” | https://atlantablackstar.com/2022/07/15/you-really-trying-to-blame-us-big-brothers-julie-chen-moonves-slammed-for-her-response-to-black-contestants-mistreatment/ | 2022-07-16T01:05:45Z | https://atlantablackstar.com/2022/07/15/you-really-trying-to-blame-us-big-brothers-julie-chen-moonves-slammed-for-her-response-to-black-contestants-mistreatment/ | true | 1 |
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Local church leaders teamed up again on Friday to help families in need. They gave away a mountain of merchandise that easily equated to hundreds of thousands of dollars in household items. The best part of it was that all the items were free.
It started Thursday with volunteers unloading and organizing four, over 50-foot, trailers full of indoor and outdoor household items.
Then, Friday everyone showed up near SW 36th Street and Blackwelder Avenue. Easily hundreds of cars were in a line stretched around the block, through neighborhoods and even out onto SW Grand Boulevard.
All of them hoped to find something they needed in the gargantuan stacks of goods.
Some people, like Brenda Aduddell, waited around 15 hours to be the first in line. She was hoping to get something after her heart surgery.
“I got a little blood flow problem from my legs back up to my heart,” Aduddell said. “I’d really like a nice recliner to sit in and put my feet up, let that blood flow a little bit better.”
Several churches got together for the giveaway. This was the first event to be held across the street from Christ Community Church at Rancho Village.
“These are really hard times for a lot of people so any way that we can share a little kindness, share a little hope with the neighborhood is just a great way to spread the blessing,” said John-Mark Hart, a pastor at Christ Community Church at Rancho Village.
People could get anything from couches and dinner tables to bug traps, diapers and fans.
“I believe we are blessed,” said Jaime Pena, a pastor at Oklahoma City Family Church. “We are blessed to bless others.”
Folks like Aduddell said despite the long wait for her and others, it’s all worth it.
“Thank you, thank you!” she said as she got her recliner put into the back of her truck.
“You’ve heard all the stories, the senior citizens that need help, that can’t afford to get a piece of furniture, the younger with the kids that need the diapers,” she said in our interview minutes before that. “It’s really a blessing to everybody. Everybody. All ages.”
The items in the giveaway were donated by a group called World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization. | https://kfor.com/news/local/its-really-a-blessing-to-everybody-oklahomans-show-up-over-12-hours-before-big-giveaway-of-free-household-items/ | 2022-07-16T01:09:53Z | https://kfor.com/news/local/its-really-a-blessing-to-everybody-oklahomans-show-up-over-12-hours-before-big-giveaway-of-free-household-items/ | false | 1 |
WASHINGTON – This week, U.S. Representative Chris Pappas (D-NH-01) was one of the key voices supporting an amendment that would stop the Biden Administration’s efforts to sell new F-16s to Turkey as part of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act.
Sponsored by U.S. Representative Frank Pallone Jr. (D-NJ-06), the amendment also prohibits exporting F-16s to the Turkish government as well as selling or exporting and technology or modernization kits to F-16 kits.
In the amendment, the only exception to the prohibition where the President provides a certification to Congress that such a transfer is in the national interest of the United States and includes a detailed description of concrete steps taken to ensure that such F-16s are not used by Turkey for repeated unauthorized territorial overflights of Greece.
The amendment follows previous similar actions by Pappas in opposition to providing F-16 technology to Turkey due to its possession of Russian S-400 missile systems in violation of U.S. law as well as belligerent rhetoric toward neighboring Greece.
Pappas, whose paternal great-grandfather emigrated from Greece, praised the reliability of the Greek government’s commitment to its relationship with the United States as well as his frustration with the government of Turkish President Recip Tayyip Erdoğan the support of U.S. President Joseph Biden to sell the F-16 technology to Turkey.
“The passage of this bipartisan amendment sends a strong message to Turkey and to the international community that the United States will not allow the Erdoğan government to escape accountability for violating U.S. law and the standards of the NATO alliance,” said Pappas. “I have consistently opposed the sale of F-16s to Turkey and advanced weapons and equipment to upgrade its existing F-16 fleet. It remains deeply troubling that President Biden supports moving forward with this sale despite Turkey’s increasingly belligerent rhetoric and aggression towards Greece, a reliable democratic NATO ally. Actions speak louder than words. I will continue working across the aisle to take all necessary actions to prevent F-16s or any other American-made weapons from falling into Erdoğan’s hands. I’m pleased that this amendment garnered strong, bipartisan support, and I want to thank my co-leads and fellow members of the Congressional Caucus on Hellenic Issues for moving this forward.”
“For far too long, the United States has allowed Erdoğan to dictate his terms and hide behind Turkey’s status as a NATO ally. He has done the bare minimum to bolster NATO’s strategic posture since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered the largest crisis the alliance has faced in decades,” said Pallone. “The sale of American advanced fighter jets to Turkey will not incentivize Erdogan to suddenly transform into a good ally. More likely, these weapons will lead to further death and destruction in the region. He’s avoided facing real-life consequences greater than a slap on the wrist for his flagrant violations of international law at home and abroad, and it’s time we finally say enough is enough.”
The amendment passed 244-179 with 30 Democrats voting against the amendment and 60 Republicans voting for it. | https://manchesterinklink.com/pappas-voices-frustration-at-biden-administrations-support-of-f-16-sales-to-turkey/ | 2022-07-16T01:23:23Z | https://manchesterinklink.com/pappas-voices-frustration-at-biden-administrations-support-of-f-16-sales-to-turkey/ | false | 1 |
Police are still on the hunt for suspects in the gruesome murder of a teacher at Kopong’s Foka ward on Tuesday night.
The 48-year-old woman was allegedly murdered in full view of her child and had some of her body organs harvested.
Her assailants are said to have used the deceased’s blood to write a mysterious “277 DIE” message on the wall.
Although he was reluctant to reveal any further details on the murder, Mogoditshane Police Station Commander Russ Letsebe, confirmed that they are investigating the incident.
“We are investigating a murder incident which involves a 48-year-old woman who was found murdered. Her killers used something that seemed to be a sharp object as she had deep cut under her breast. We do not have anyone in custody so far and we are appealing to the public to assist in the investigations of this horrific murder,” he said.
Furthermore, Letsebe confirmed that there was some message written on the wall but he was reluctant to share the details of the message. | https://news.thevoicebw.com/suspects-still-at-large-in-gruesome-kopong-murder/ | 2022-07-16T01:24:39Z | https://news.thevoicebw.com/suspects-still-at-large-in-gruesome-kopong-murder/ | true | 1 |
Emergency national cabinet meeting to reinstate pandemic leave payments
By Rachel Clun and James Massola
Casual workers who get COVID will again be able to access pandemic leave payments after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese reversed his decision to stick with the original end date, as cases continue to surge across the country.
Albanese brought forward the snap national cabinet meeting to this morning, after he had an emergency meeting with Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly, Health Department secretary Brendan Murphy and Health Minister Mark Butler on the COVID situation in Australia, shortly after arriving back in the country from the Pacific Islands forum in Fiji.
The prime minister announced the decision to reinstate the $750 pandemic isolation payments for casual workers and others without access to sick leave late on Friday evening on Twitter shortly after the health briefing.
He said state and territory leaders will receive a briefing on the COVID situation from Kelly on Saturday morning, and they will “discuss proposals to ensure the vulnerable are protected over coming weeks”.
Albanese will advocate for a time-limited reinstatement of the payment at the cabinet meeting as infections skyrocket and hospitalisations increase.
National cabinet is also likely to discuss access to free rapid antigen tests, and NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has backed having a debate about reducing the current seven-day isolation period to five days once the flu season and surge in COVID cases has passed.
Australia is currently recording a rolling seven-day average of more than 41,000 new cases a day, with 4602 people in hospital including 144 people in intensive care.
Doctors’ groups had blasted the government’s plan to let the pandemic leave payments end, as well as removing access to free rapid antigen tests for concession cardholders at the end of this month.
Australian Medical Association vice president Chris Moy said the organisation had a constructive meeting with Butler about the need to keep these measures in place as the current wave of the pandemic surges.
He told ABC Radio National on Friday evening there were two risks that would occur if the pandemic leave was not reinstated.
“First up, the community risk, because obviously people are either not going to get tested or they’re just going to go to work because they’re in a position where they can’t afford it, essentially,” he said.
That will lead to a public health problem, Moy said.
“It means a person who’s infectious will walk into a workplace and actually infect other people, which will actually speed this up, and what we’re trying to do at the moment is to stop everybody getting infected at the same time.”
Butler said earlier this week that “millions” of Australians will get COVID in coming weeks.
Acting Opposition leader Sussan Ley said Labor’s inaction for a week on the issue has hurt casual workers.
“It took universal criticism for the Prime Minister to act, days too late,” she said in a statement on Friday evening.
“Mr Albanese owes an apology to the tens of thousands of Australians who have faced stress and uncertainty in recent weeks following his decision to end those payments.”

Community rallies at vigil for slain Detroit Police Officer Loren Courts
Seated against a sea of solemn faces, 9-year-old Devyn Courts rested her head on her mother's shoulder.
She was among 200 people who attended the Detroit Police 2nd Precinct's vigil Friday afternoon in honor of her late father, Officer Loren Courts, 40, who was killed in the line of duty July 6.
Loren Courts was fatally shot when he and his partner, Amanda Hudgens, 29, responded to a call about shots fired in the Fiskhorn neighborhood on Detroit's west side. The shooter, later identified as Ehmani Davis, 19, died when other officers on the scene returned fire.
Neighborhood resident Shawna Lancaster, who witnessed the incident, attended the vigil in a homemade T-shirt featuring Loren Courts leaning against his vehicle. "I am one of the people he saved," she said tearfully. "Showing up — this is the least I can do."
When Lancaster heard the gunman firing, she initially thought it was fireworks. Seeing police show up was a momentary relief before the unthinkable. She watched Hudgens throw her body over Loren Courts after he was shot. "There were a lot of kids on the block," she said. Courts "was protecting us."

At the vigil, Lancaster said, she gave Hudgens one of her T-shirts.
Detroit Police Chief James White led the vigil at the precinct house on the city's west side, which was attended by members of Loren Courts' extended family. "We're rocked and we are hurt," he said, speaking on behalf of the police department, "we are rocked, but we are not defeated."
White alternately referred to Officer Courts in the past and present tense. He said the department would continue to work with "integrity and courage... because that's who he is and who he was."
State Rep. Stephanie Young, D-Detroit, addressed the family while calling for gun control.
"Please know we're here with you, beyond the prayers," Young said, her voice cracking, "and prayers matter, but the work with the prayers is what's going to make a difference."
Members of the Detroit Police Chaplains Corps prayed, asking the community to bow their heads.
While they prayed, Darian Courts, 15, Loren Courts' son, rubbed the knee of his mother, Kristine Courts.
To close the ceremony, Chief Chaplain Lennell Caldwell asked everyone in attendance to turn to their right and left and say "I love you" to those next to them.
As the crowd followed his instructions, Loren Courts' father stood up. Raising an arm to the sky, Larry Courts, a retired Northville police officer, yelled above the crowd, "I love you!" | https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2022/07/15/slain-officer-loren-courts-vigil/10074840002/ | 2022-07-16T01:42:12Z | https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2022/07/15/slain-officer-loren-courts-vigil/10074840002/ | false | 2 |
