The family portrait isn’t the only Easter egg Breaking Bad fans have now spotted after Lalo’s death.
In the season five premiere after Walt and Jesse killed Gus and blew up the lab, Hank Shrader (Dean Norris) investigates.
And in what seemed to be a throwaway comment at the time, Hank pointed out they found two bodies beneath the lab’s floor.
However, they were unidentifiable at the time, with fans only now realising they belonged to Howard and Lalo.
Better Call Saul season 6 continues Mondays on AMC in the USA and Tuesdays on Netflix UK.

What do you need to do to overseed a lawn?
Overseeding is the process of adding grass seed to the lawn without turning the soil. Doing this helps add color and thickness to the overall lawn. It also prepares the lawn for harsh seasonal changes that may occur in your region. By overseeding, you can also repair damage from insects, fill in sparse areas or bare patches and help the grass recover after a long drought or other harsh conditions.
How to overseed a lawn
Preparation
For the sake of consistency, start by getting grass seeds that are similar to the existing grass. If you want to change it up instead, get a variety of grass seeds that grow in your area.
Once you have the seeds, mow the lawn until it’s around two inches tall. Next, dethatch the yard. Dethatching is the process of removing “thatch” from the yard. This includes debris, clipped grass and other organic matter. Dethatching is important because it gives room for essential resources like water to get through to the roots. It also helps water drain better for a healthier lawn. To dethatch a smaller yard, use a metal thatch rake. For a larger yard, consider using a powered electric dethatcher instead.
After removing all the thatch, it’s time to aerate the yard. Aerating is the process of loosening up the soil by digging holes in strategic locations throughout the yard. This is a great way to help seeds and any currently growing grass grow without being cramped or choking itself out. Aerating also allows oxygen, water and critical nutrients to reach the grassroots to help them become stronger.
If you have a smaller yard, then a manual aerator may work best. However, if you have a larger yard and can attach the aerator to a lawnmower or other machine, a tow-behind aerator may be better.
When you’ve finished dethatching and aerating the lawn, check the soil’s pH level with a pH test kit to make sure it’s in balance. If the soil is too alkaline or too acidic, the grass won’t be as healthy, thick or lush as it could be.
If you’ve been fertilizing your lawn, stop a month or so before overseeding, allowing the new seeds to grow.
Begin overseeding
Now, it’s time to start spreading the grass seeds. For small yards, you can do this by hand. But for larger yards, consider using a lawn spreader to cover the yard with seeds efficiently. Make sure you use grass seeds that will grow in your region and climate before starting.
A few days after overseeding, use a lawn starter or combination fertilizer to help the new seeds take root and grow. These fertilizers contain phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium, making the grass stronger and more likely to survive in harsher conditions. Look for a fertilizer with high phosphorus content for new grass. Around six weeks later, apply fertilizer made for more mature grass to keep the lawn lush, healthy and green.
For the first few days after overseeding, lightly water the yard twice a day. After about a week, start watering the yard every other day for another week or two. A handheld water hose with a multifunction nozzle or a sprinkler with a timer can be a lifesaver during this time. Once the new grass starts to come through, it should be safe to water the lawn as you normally would to prevent wilting.
While the new grass grows, limit activity in the yard to prevent trampling it. Wait to mow the yard until the new grass matches the length of the mature grass. At that point, you may resume lawncare maintenance as usual.
When is the best time to aerate and overseed a lawn?
This depends on several factors, including your region, climate and the type of grass. After all, certain grasses thrive while others start to thin out as the seasons change.
For southern regions, the best time to dethatch, aerate and overseed a thinning lawn is between late spring and the middle of summer. This is because warm-season grasses need a higher soil temperature to germinate and grow properly.
If you live in the north or colder regions, the ideal time to overseed the lawn is during fall when the air is starting to become cool, but the soil is still somewhat warm. During this time, there are fewer weeds for the new grass to compete with for resources.
What grass seeds are best for overseeding a lawn?
Although it’s possible to mix certain grasses and have them thrive, doing this usually results in long-term problems. For one thing, different types of grass may compete for resources, which could cause some grass to be lush while other grass starts to die. For another, some grasses don’t look well together. So, adding new grass seeds of a different variety of grass could make the yard look disorganized.
Find out what type or types of grass are native to your region. For example, fine fescue consists of various species of grasses that have hair-like blades. These are cool-season grasses that grow commonly in the northeast and mid-northern regions of the United States. Fine fescue does not fare well in direct sunlight or hot climates.
If you live in the south and have a lot of bermudagrass in the yard, then you could use cool-season grass like annual ryegrass or turf-type fall fescues to overseed. Another good option if you live in the north is cool-season grass like Kentucky Bluegrass or Perennial Ryegrass. These can withstand moderate summer temperatures and frigid winters fairly well.
In general, people don’t use warm-season grasses to overseed their lawn unless they’re trying to repair a dominant warm-season grass that already grows there. That’s why you’ll most likely want to use cool-season grass that fits your region instead.
Final tips on overseeding a lawn
Here are some final tips on how to best overseed a lawn.
- Prepare the area in advance by dethatching and aerating it to ensure the new grass seeds germinate and take hold without a problem.
- Avoid using the wrong type of grass seed for your region, as this may cause problems with the existing grass and keep the new grass from becoming lush and healthy.
- When using a grass seed package, follow the recommended amounts on the back to avoid spreading more seed than you should. Too much seed could result in the grass competing for resources and the newer grass struggling to survive.
- Measure out the size of your lawn before starting the overseeding process to make sure you have enough grass seed, fertilizer and other resources available.
- Never use weed and feed treatments or pesticides while overseeding. Doing so will likely cause the new grass to die before it even begins.

US doctor under investigation after abortion for child rape victim
Friday July 15 2022
Authorities in Indiana said they are investigating a gynecologist who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old girl who had been raped -- a flashpoint case in the wake of the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn the federal right to end a pregnancy.
Caitlin Bernard said earlier this month that she had treated the girl in Indianapolis after being contacted by a colleague in neighboring Ohio.
A trigger law banning all abortions after six weeks, with no exceptions for rape or incest, came into force in Ohio last month after the nation's high court ended decades of constitutional protection for the right to end a pregnancy.
The girl, who was raped in May by a man who was arrested on Tuesday, was past the six-week cut-off. To get an abortion, she traveled to Indiana, where the procedure is legal up until 21 weeks.
But authorities in the mainly Republican state oppose abortion and are now considering banning the procedure.
Indiana attorney general Todd Rokita criticized Bernard on Wednesday evening, accusing her of not alerting the authorities to the case of the girl, as state law requires in case of sex crimes involving minors.
"We have this abortion activist acting as a doctor with a history of failing to report," Rokita said on Fox News.
"So we're gathering the information. We're gathering the evidence as we speak and we're going to fight this to the end, including looking at her licensure, if she failed to report," he added.
President Joe Biden spoke of the Ohio rape victim during a July 8 ceremony at which he signed reproductive right protections into law and urged Congress to codify Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that established the nationwide right to abortion.
"Just last week it was reported that a 10-year-old girl was a rape victim in Ohio -- 10 years old -- and she was forced to have to travel out of the state, to Indiana, to seek to terminate the pregnancy," Biden said.
Until the suspect was arrested, right-wing media and several Ohio authorities questioned whether the story was true.
Now, opponents of abortion are accusing abortion rights advocates of using the girl to promote their cause and blaming the tragedy on Biden's immigration policy because the detainee is a Guatemalan who entered the country illegally.
"This is a horrible, horrible scene caused by Marxists and socialists and those in the White House who want lawlessness at the border," Rokita said. | https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/news/international/us-doctor-under-investigation-after-abortion-for-child-rape-victim-3880596 | 2022-07-16T02:28:11Z | https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/news/international/us-doctor-under-investigation-after-abortion-for-child-rape-victim-3880596 | true | 7 |

A deeper look into Dirty Dough and its "fillings"
PROVO, Utah, July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dirty Dough, Utah's new cookie company, responded to the lawsuit Crumbl filed against the company highlighted in a recent article by KSL on July 8.
"Dirty Dough categorically denies the allegations in Crumbl's complaint," said Dirty Dough's legal representative Jason Sanders J.D. "Dirty Dough has not infringed on any of Crumbl's intellectual property and Crumbl's claims are without merit. It is clear the complaint's real purpose of this suit is to stifle competition and impede the free market."
Dirty Dough recently opened their first Utah location in Vineyard and is scheduled to open four more franchises in Pleasant Grove, Saratoga Springs, Spanish Fork and St. George in the next few months. Founder Bennett Maxwell, recently published in New York Weekly, MarketWatch and other outlets, shared his future plans for the company to not only sell multi-layered cookies but also communicate a heavy emphasis on mental health education.
"Apparently, this billion-dollar company, Crumbl, is threatened by a start-up with only a couple of locations in order to make a federal case out of rainbow sprinkles and rectangular boxes," said Bennett Maxwell. "Dirty Dough intends to defend itself against its baseless claims."
The lawsuit's clear purpose to stifle competition won't stop Dirty Dough in its mission. The company sees this as an opportunity to get in touch with its "fillings" and intend to continue enjoying each cookie's gooey insides and realize that it's OK for life to be messy sometimes.

KRMACINA, Slovenia (AP) — Slovenia’s army on Friday started removing a razor wire fence on the border with Croatia that was put up to curb migrant crossings after more than 1 million people fleeing violence or poverty entered Europe in 2015.
About a dozen soldiers used cutters to help unclog the wire that had got entangled in bushes and other greenery along the border, before loading the rolls into a truck. Officials have said that it could take around five months before the nearly 200-kilometer (around 120-mile) border fence — a combination of razor wire and metal panels — is taken down.
The decision to scrap the fence was taken by Slovenia’s new, liberal government, which took office after an election in April. Officials have said that the border will be monitored by other means, but that it is necessary to prevent any accidents and injuries migrants might face as they seek to reach Western Europe.
“Migrations have not and will not disappear, but this wire was a disproportionate measure,” said Interior Minister Tatjana Bobnar, who was present at the site. “Time has shown that no fence can prevent migration, but has caused many tragedies and people were dying” while trying to cross the Kolpa, or Kupa, river on the border.
Senior police official Bostjan added that “the removed wire will be replaced by changing work methods and tactics,” including additional border staff and enhanced international cooperation.
Migrants from the Middle East, Africa or Asia come into Slovenia from Croatia via the so-called Balkan route. Many face perils on their long journeys that often take months, even years of dangerous crossings of seas or rivers, abuse by people smugglers or sleeping rough in cold weather and heat.
The Slovenian government’s decision to remove the fence has faced criticism from right-wing parties that are staunchly opposed to migration. The European Union nation has reported an increase in migrant crossings in the first half of 2022 compared with the previous year, and rightist groups say the wire removal is premature.
Interior Minister Bobnar previously has described the border fence as a temporary measure and said that “it is inadmissible for it to become a permanent element of Slovenia’s border policy.”
The official STA news agency reported that the army will first remove 51 kilometers (30 miles) of the razor wire while the remaining 143 kilometers (90 miles) of the fence will be taken down by a contractor that is yet to be selected.
Migrants trying to cross borders while seeking security and better lives in the West often also face violent pushbacks by border police in many countries along their routes.

- David Harbour said that he knows how the fifth and final season of "Stranger Things" ends.
- The actor said that the conclusion of the series is a "very clear ending" to its story.
- Cocreator Matt Duffer previously said that he and his brother Ross "feel good" about their ending.
David Harbour said that he knows how "Stranger Things" will eventually end — even if he isn't divulging any details.
Harbour, who has played Hawkins Police Chief Jim Hopper since the show's first season in 2016, said on Rob Brydon's podcast "Brydon &" that he was aware of the show's conclusion.
"Season five, there's an ending to the story that is a very clear ending," Harbour told Brydon.
"And you know what that ending is?" Brydon asked.
"I do," Harbour replied.
The fourth season of "Stranger Things" premiered on Netflix on May 27, with its final two episodes hitting the streaming platform on July 1. There's only one season left of the hit series, which has been one of Netflix's most popular since it premiered in 2016. Given the production timeline — the writers' room will start up again in August, Ross Duffer told Collider — it seems reasonable to expect that the fifth season will hit Netflix sometime in 2024.
Ross told Collider that "sticking the landing" in the show's finale is extremely important to them, and that the series' final 20 minutes are "locked in."
"We do feel good about the ending," Matt Duffer told the publication. "I was like, okay, I think this ending is not... I'm not super insecure. I'm insecure about a lot of things, but I feel like the ending feels good."
Furthermore, as the Duffer brothers said on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, season five won't be quite as long, although fans can expect a supersized series finale.
While season five may bring an end to the current story of Eleven, her friends, and Hawkins' relationship to the Upside Down, it's certain not the end of the "Stranger Things" universe. The Duffer Brothers have a spin-off set within the show's world, to be produced for Netflix under their new production company Upside Down Pictures and 21 Laps, per Deadline.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Two Minneapolis police snipers fatally shot a man from the roof of an apartment building across the street from where he had been holed up in an overnight standoff, according to documents filed Friday.
But authorities have not yet said what prompted officers to shoot 20-year-old Andrew Tekle Sundberg early Thursday after around six hours of efforts to persuade him to surrender. The officers were identified as Aaron Pearson and Zachary Seraphin. A gun was recovered from Sundberg’s third-floor apartment, according to the state agency leading the investigation.
Officers activated their body cameras, according to a police report, but the video has not been released.
Investigators collected a .38-caliber handgun with an extended magazine from a bed, and live .45-caliber cartridges from a closet and a bowl in the living room, according to search warrant affidavits. At least seven spent bullets were recovered in the search of a separate unit on the same floor.
The affidavits also listed numerous “less lethal” rounds found inside and outside the building. They’re projectiles — often 40 mm foam rounds — meant to incapacitate a person without killing them. That indicates officers fired them at some point during the standoff, but court filings don’t say when they used them.
When the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension collected the officers’ rifles, their magazines still held more rounds, the filings said.
Police have said officers first responded Wednesday night after a third-floor tenant called 911 to report that someone fired gunshots through the wall of her unit. Officers moved her, her two young children and others to safety. Police said Sundberg had isolated himself in a neighboring apartment. Police attempted to negotiate with him by phone and by loudspeaker. Sundberg was shot about 4:30 a.m. Thursday.
Sgt. Sherral Schmidt, president of the Minneapolis Police Officers Federation, said “many tactics” were used to try to persuade Sundberg to surrender.
“These efforts became futile when the suspect endangered the lives of others and to prevent death or great bodily harm to another, officers used deadly force,” Schmidt said in a statement late Friday.
The Sundberg family has retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who has also represented the families of George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor and other Black people killed by police in recent years, often securing multimillion-dollar settlements. Crump also worked with his local partner Jeff Storms for the families of Amir Locke and Daunte Wright, who were both killed by Minneapolis-area police officers.
Investigators have not released information about Sundberg’s race, but an online fundraising campaign from 2015, after the then-13-year-old was injured in an ATV crash, said he was born in Ethiopia and adopted into a Minnesota family.
A GoFundMe organized for his funeral expenses describes him as “a brother, friend, uncle, son … talented artist, hilarious and energetic. His life was taken too soon by the Minneapolis Police Department. … He leaves behind many loving family members and friends.”
Sundberg’s death was the second involving Minneapolis police this year. Locke was shot at a downtown apartment on Feb. 2 while officers executed an early morning no-knock search warrant. Both officers who fired at Sundberg were also part of the SWAT team at the scene when Locke, 22, was shot.
Pearson used a key to enter the apartment where Locke stirred beneath a blanket on the couch and reached for a handgun. Officer Mark Hanneman fatally shot Locke within 10 seconds — an encounter recorded on Pearson’s body camera. Seraphine, a SWAT team medic, provided medical care to Locke on the scene, according to the BCA.
No officers were charged in Locke’s death.
The Minneapolis department has long been under scrutiny over allegations of brutality and racial injustice. Floyd’s killing in 2020 led to a state investigation that found the department has engaged in a pattern of race discrimination for at least the past decade. | https://www.wavy.com/news/national/ap-us-news/vigil-held-for-man-killed-by-minneapolis-police-in-standoff/ | 2022-07-16T02:40:39Z | https://www.wavy.com/news/national/ap-us-news/vigil-held-for-man-killed-by-minneapolis-police-in-standoff/ | true | 23 |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tesla CEO Elon Musk fired back Friday at Twitter’s lawsuit seeking to force him to complete his $44 billion acquisition of the platform, according to multiple news reports.
In a filing with the Delaware Court of Chancery, Musk’s lawyers accused Twitter of withholding information about fake accounts — a longtime preoccupation for Musk — and of creating delays, providing evasive responses and putting up technical obstacles. The filing also disputed Twitter’s request for an expedited trial, claiming that it would take months to obtain information from Twitter and to depose numerous witnesses on the subject of fake accounts.
Back in April, Musk pledged to pay $54.20 a share for Twitter, which agreed to those terms after reversing its initial opposition to the deal. But the two sides have been bracing for a legal fight since the billionaire said a week ago that he was backing away from his agreement to buy the company.
The filing repeated several other accusations Musk has lodged previously, including the claim that Twitter violated the acquisition agreement when it fired two high-level managers without first informing Musk.
Twitter filed its lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, which frequently handles business disputes among the many corporations, including Twitter, that are incorporated there. | https://www.upmatters.com/technology/ap-technology/reports-musk-demands-months-for-trial-prep-in-twitter-suit/ | 2022-07-16T02:42:44Z | https://www.upmatters.com/technology/ap-technology/reports-musk-demands-months-for-trial-prep-in-twitter-suit/ | false | 25 |
When I look around, I see the same responsibilities in tons of men. Many difficulties are not talked about but are there in the minds of men. When I say men here, I’m not talking about children and spoiled types, I’m talking about decent guys. At the same time, life is hell for these guys.
So Why Is Life Difficult for These Guys?
- Because of value judgments.
That would be the clearest term. People who work hard to be neat and correct also think a lot about the people around them.
These men do not want to put themselves before others. The source of their happiness in life is to spread beauty around them. Picking up a fallen child, getting a flower for his wife on the way home in the evening, taking care of her dinner for her friends in the evening. These guys want to create memories. Money is not very important to them, but after a while life starts to test these men.
Unfortunately, everything beautiful is expensive and good behavior is no longer as valuable as money in our society. In this case, men try to make an effort like crazy. When I was 20, I opened a bank account for my future child’s school fees. Think about it, I’m only 20 years old and in college, but I couldn’t accept the possibility that I wouldn’t be able to support my family in the future.
Even this pressure was an incredible test for me. I would not want my family to be at a lower level than their social circle. I am a man who will work in mountain mud. I do what I do, no matter how hard it is because I know that in the end, I can make some people around me happy.
Just imagine, when a father who has worked in construction for hours comes home in the evening, he hugs his children at the door. That will be the reward of the day for that man, she. But this is just one of the responsibilities that men experience.
It is worthless to be honorable and proud now, friends. Everyone is after money. In this case, it destroys men who believe in beauty.
…
Feeling of Inadequacy
As I explained, the inadequacy of a man for his family is the cause of depression. Some men spend their lives in the wives of endless desires even if they work hard. Even if these people get angry from time to time, the result does not change at all. Men are working hard and maybe picking up a woman’s bullshit bag so she can show off to her female friends. How sad isn’t it?
Even if these men work harder for fear of falling into this situation, this burden that is on their shoulders every day should not be underestimated. Women should help men more in this regard. A person who helps his wife, family, or friend needs to find the same intimacy from the other person, otherwise, this relationship will cause a lot of harm and mental discomfort to the man.
People think that a man without financial freedom is not a man.
…
Being Protective
It is a phenomenon that I find most absurd but never goes out of style.
Men are warriors.
Fuck off.
Of course, I do everything for my acquaintances and loved ones and protect them. But it’s ridiculous that women want men to fight for them as a result of their ridiculous drama. If a man wants to react, if he doesn’t, he doesn’t. But it seems absurd to me that the princesses constantly ask men to do something. As I said in a serious situation, a man should defend him in every way, but I can never forget the situations I fell into and the arguments I had due to women’s egos or brazenness.
Think about the consequences of what you do and act.
…
Not Getting Compliments
Men have feelings and usually a man cannot be said nice words. But frankly, when I put on my suit and prepare for 1 hour to go out, we also want to hear nice words.
I don’t believe that men’s giving flowers or compliments to women should be one-sided. I think every guy likes to be complimented. Of course, they won’t be able to say compliment me, but you still say nice words to make them happy.
…
Feeling Ugly
Every man wants the woman next to him to be beautiful. Those who deny this are either with an ugly person or have never had a girlfriend. However, every woman wants a handsome man. Did you know that lately, men outnumber women in plastic surgery? Now such a rivalry has begun among men. Of course, this creates serious anxiety for those who see themselves as ugly from the people around them.

Serica Energy spuds North Eigg well in North Sea
Serica Energy announced the spudding of the North Eigg high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) exploration well in the North Sea. Well 3/24c-NE1 was spudded on 11 July by the Transocean Paul B. Loyd Jr. harsh environment semisubmersible.
The company said that, if successful, it is anticipated that the reservoir will be gas filled and will be capable of providing low emissions gas to the UK domestic market during the key energy transition years of 2025 to 2035. It is anticipated that a discovery at North Eigg would be developed utilising Serica’s nearby 98% owned and operated infrastructure on the Bruce platform.
Serica’s internal estimates indicate prospective resources of 60 million BOE.
“This is an exciting exploration prospect located very close to Serica owned and operated infrastructure. In a success case, this means that any development could utilize the existing production facilities on the Bruce platform, thereby reducing the need for extensive investment in new facilities and reducing the carbon footprint of the development and subsequent production period,” said Mitch Flegg, CEO of Serica Energy. | https://www.drillingcontractor.org/serica-energy-spuds-north-eigg-well-in-north-sea-63316 | 2022-07-16T02:48:57Z | https://www.drillingcontractor.org/serica-energy-spuds-north-eigg-well-in-north-sea-63316 | false | 1 |
Summer League has wound down for the Warriors, but plenty of intrigue still surrounds their biggest prospects.
Moses Moody, still a little banged up, sat out their last game on Friday, which the Warriors lost 90-82 in Las Vegas. But Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman played regular minutes against an Oklahoma City Thunder team resting its top prospects, including No. 2 overall pick Chet Holmgren and 2021 first-round pick Josh Giddey.
The loss meant the Warriors closed the Las Vegas Summer League with a 1-3 record.
Much like their showing overall in Summer League, Kuminga and Wiseman’s performances were mixed. But both showed development.
Kuminga struggled to find his shot early, going 0-for-6 to start. But he had a strong second half sparked by a few highlight plays, including a furious dunk after spinning past a defender with ease. He ended the first half with a strong cutting dunk off a feed from guard Mac McClung.
Kuminga’s work on his playmaking this summer is paying off, too. He had five assists and finished with 16 points of 5-of-15 from the field, including two 3-pointers.
Wiseman continues to show improvements in his game. His screens have shown game-to-game improvement — though he did get called for an illegal one on Friday. And while he didn’t make much of an impact defensively, he was aggressive on the boards. He had seven rebounds in his 19 minutes, including one offensive rebound.
He went 4-of-5 from the field, including a 3-pointer, and got to the line for eight free throws making just five of them. He finished with 14 points. The seven-footer should add some much-needed size in the dunker spot for the Warriors. But his 3-point shooting has the potential to space the floor next to Steph Curry and his sharp-shooting Warriors teammates.
Quinndary Weatherspoon, vying for a roster spot, finished with 11 points and six rebounds. | https://www.dailydemocrat.com/2022/07/15/james-wiseman-jonathan-kuminga-show-growth-in-loss-to-thunder/ | 2022-07-16T02:49:58Z | https://www.dailydemocrat.com/2022/07/15/james-wiseman-jonathan-kuminga-show-growth-in-loss-to-thunder/ | false | 5 |
The House of Representatives on July 14 approved the Access for Veterans to Records Act with a large bipartisan majority of 406-21.
The legislation sponsored by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., aims to sharply reduce the backlog of requests for records from the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC). That backlog stood at about 600,000 requests earlier this year.
If enacted, the bill would:
- Require the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to submit a plan for eliminating the NPRC backlog to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs within 30 days of enactment;
- Require NARA to include target timeframes to reduce the backlog and steps to improve infrastructure and customer service for requestors in its plan; and
- Authorize $60 million for NARA to address the backlog by improving response times for responding to veteran’s requests, improving cybersecurity, and improving the digital preservation of records.
“With the pandemic contributing to long wait times for veterans to access their records, it is clear that our records system is in urgent need of reform,” said Rep. Maloney, who chairs the House Oversight and Reform Committee. “This bill will help provide the funding the National Personnel Records Center needs to ensure that veterans can more easily access their well-deserved benefits.”
“Our nation’s veterans and their families have faced inexcusable wait times for records that are necessary to obtain critical services because federal bureaucrats didn’t show up to work in-person,” said Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., ranking member on House Oversight. “The Access for Veterans to Records Act makes necessary reforms to modernize the process for obtaining veterans records and requires federal workers to work in-person to eliminate the backlog.”
The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration. The House bill does not appear to have a companion bill in the Senate. | https://www.meritalk.com/articles/house-passes-bill-to-cut-veterans-records-backlog/ | 2022-07-16T02:50:29Z | https://www.meritalk.com/articles/house-passes-bill-to-cut-veterans-records-backlog/ | false | 1 |
Knocking on the front door, a nervous Carlin held a bunch of flowers in one hand and a bag of nappies in the other.
“From that moment, I knew he was special,” said single mum Chelsey Nye of the thoughtful gesture from a virtual stranger one day in April 2015.
Just two days after the pair met for the first time at Chelsey’s doorstep, they told each other “I love you”.

And only nine days later, Carlin proposed.
The couple was married within seven weeks of meeting.
“I know the whole controversy - you can’t marry a man you just met - but it didn’t feel like I’d just met him,” said Chelsey, from the US state of Utah.
The background to Chelsey’s story is extraordinary in itself.
In February 2015, aged just 19, she gave birth prematurely to a baby girl, whom she named Mia.
Born at 27 weeks, the baby weighed just 850 grams - the newborn’s tiny, translucent fingers barely fitting around one of Chelsey’s fingertips.
Mia was taken immediately to the NICU - and Chelsey was suddenly facing a new, challenging reality.
“Having a baby in the NICU is an intense experience that hits you like a giant slap in the face,” said Chelsey, who was no longer with Mia’s father.
“Then it waits for you to shake it off, and dropkicks you in the stomach.
“Not only are you heartbroken and terrified, but you’re also desperate to see them grow and eventually be able to come home.
“You are also on the very edge of losing your mind completely from the stress, worry and exhaustion of all the emotional ups and downs.”
The tiny bub would spend two months in the hospital, as the anxious first-time mum willed her little girl to become strong.
For the first month, Chelsey remained firmly by her baby’s side.
Then she did the “responsible, gut-wrenchingly hard thing” and went back to work on weekends - knowing she also needed to provide financially for her daughter.
Facebook message
Then one weekend, two months after Mia’s birth, Chelsey received a random Facebook message from a man named Carlin.
He asked if she’d like to attend a group activity for young single adults at church.
“I reluctantly said yes,” she recalled, her mind still focused almost exclusively on Mia.
“The next day, I met him at the church for the activity. He was tall, with dark hair and dark eyes.
“I remember thinking how handsome and fun he was to be around.”
But at this first meeting, Chelsey cut their time short - when she received the phone call she’d been waiting for.
Mia was ready to be discharged from hospital.
Her baby - now weighing 1.8kg - was finally ready to go home.
“That last night in the NICU was the strangest,” Chelsey said.
“I slept in an armchair next to my four-pound baby’s crib and took care of her with her home equipment all night.
“It was the first real-time I got to be her mum, alone, without all the incredible doctors around.
“The next day, we did hours and hours of paperwork and training and then, finally, we did it.
“I took my baby with me, on her monitors and oxygen, and left the NICU.”
Date nights
Meanwhile, Chelsey and Carlin had been speaking throughout the night online.
“I asked him if, when we got home, he wanted to meet Mia and maybe come watch a movie with us,” Chelsey said.
So that evening - as Chesley and Mia settled at home for their first night together outside the stark hospital environment - Carlin turned up on the doorstep.
It was the couple’s first official date, and the young man had arrived with flowers - and nappies.
“My heart loved him,” Chelsey said of the moment she opened the door and observed Carlin’s quietly romantic gesture.
A few days later, they went out again.
And - just nine days after their first meeting - Carlin asked Chelsey to be his wife.
“The crazy part? I said yes,” Chelsey joked.
The pair jumped headfirst into wedding planning and, with the help of loved ones, organised everything in just 37 days.
In a small ceremony, by one of their favourite lakes, the pair said ‘I do’ - just 46 days after first setting eyes on each other.
After a whirlwind relationship, the pair’s love was officially cemented.
In January 2017, they welcomed a healthy girl, Brielle.
“Brielle was the most beautiful baby, and she still is,” Chelsey said.
“Watching Mia and Brielle grow and become best friends was a treasure.”
Soon another sibling was added, with Ryker born on October 20, 2018.
Ryker had been a twin, but the couple lost the other baby 11 weeks into the pregnancy.
“We thought we’d lost them both, but Ryker survived the miscarriage and was born at 37 weeks,” Chelsey said.
As if life weren’t busy enough, with three young kids, Chelsey laughs that they celebrated the chaos by getting a mini schnauzer puppy, named Milo, too.
Legal adoption
By mid-2020, there was one important step yet to complete.
“We wanted Carlin to have the legal rights to match the love he’d given Mia over the last five years since the day she came home from the hospital,” Chelsey explained.
“Carlin had stepped up to fill the shoes of being a father ... because he loved me so much.”
So Carlin filed for adoption - and the matter was heard online, in COVID-safe fashion, as the family sat at home.
“On June 1, 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, the adoption was finalised,” Chelsey said.
“That morning, we sat around our kitchen table, with our three beautiful kids and family members, and the court joining us virtually.
“It was one of the most incredible moments.”
The judge asked the young father if he would love Mia as his own.
He replied: “I’ve been doing it for the last five years and I would love the chance to love her and take care of her for the rest of her life.”
Chelsey said: “Mia told the judge how much she loved her daddy and how excited she was to have the same last name as the rest of her family.
“And then, the judge... changed Mia’s last name and declared us a full, legal family.”
The family now lives in northern Utah.
Chesley says Carlin has a job he loves, and she is hoping to return to the medical field when Ryker starts school.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@filmfavorite.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one filmfavorite.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

Biden to talk oil at Arab summit concluding Middle East tour
Issued on: Modified:
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) (AFP) – US President Joe Biden is set to discuss volatile oil prices during a summit with Arab leaders on Saturday in Saudi Arabia, the final stop of his Middle East tour.
The meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia's second city on the Red Sea coast, will bring together leaders of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council as well as Egypt, Jordan and Iraq.
Biden landed Friday in Saudi Arabia, a longtime US ally he once vowed to make a "pariah" over its human rights record, and met with King Salman, de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other top Saudi officials.
Tensions had been high between Biden and Prince Mohammed, especially after Biden's administration released US intelligence findings that Prince Mohammed "approved" an operation targeting journalist Jamal Khashoggi, whose gruesome killing in Saudi Arabia's Istanbul consulate in 2018 spurred global outrage.
Biden now appears ready to re-engage with a country that has been a key strategic ally of the United States for decades, a major supplier of oil and an avid buyer of weapons.
Washington wants the world's largest exporter of crude to open the floodgates to bring down soaring gasoline prices, which threaten Democratic chances in November mid-term elections.
Human rights
But Jake Sullivan, Biden's national security adviser, tamped down expectations of immediate progress while speaking with reporters on the flight to Jeddah.
"I don't think you should expect a particular announcement here bilaterally," he said.
"We believe any further action taken to ensure that there is sufficient energy to protect the health of the global economy will be done in the context of OPEC+," Sullivan said, referring to the wider bloc of oil producers.
The summit will enable Biden to "lay out clearly and substantively his vision and his strategy" for US engagement in the Middle East, he added.
Biden said his trip "is about once again positioning America in this region for the future.
"We are not going to leave a vacuum in the Middle East for Russia or China to fill," he insisted.
Biden was under pressure to discuss the cases of Khashoggi as well as Saudis detained under what critics of Prince Mohammed described as a far-reaching crackdown on dissent.
Late Friday, Biden said he raised Khashoggi's killing "at the top of the meeting" with Prince Mohammed and "made it clear if anything occurs like that again they will get that response and much more".
While in Israel he told reporters his motives for visiting Saudi Arabia were "broader" than human rights.
"My views on Khashoggi have been absolutely, positively clear, and I have never been quiet about talking about human rights."
Israeli ties
Such comments disappointed relatives of detained Saudis, including some with US citizenship.
"I don't feel very optimistic about the visit only because past incidents prove that the powers that be in Saudi can do whatever they want and there are no consequences," said Sarah al-Haider.
Her brother, US citizen Salah al-Haider, was held for nearly two years on suspicion of terrorism-related crimes and remains under a travel ban despite being released last year.
Also Friday, dozens of British and US lawmakers urged Biden to discuss Egypt's "extensive architecture of repression" in talks with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
White House officials have used the trip as a bid to promote integration between Israel and Arab nations.
The issue of the strategic Red Sea islands of Tiran and neighbouring Sanafir is also expected to be on Saturday's agenda.
Egypt ceded the islands in 2016 to Saudi Arabia, but the deal requires Israel's green light -- a move that could spur contacts between the Jewish state and Riyadh.
Biden said Friday that a decades-old multinational peacekeeping force, including US troops, would leave Tiran, with the White House adding they would depart by the end of the year.
Saudi Arabia has refused to join the US-brokered Abraham Accords which in 2020 created ties between Israel and two of the kingdom's neighbours, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
Riyadh has repeatedly said it would stick to the decades-old Arab League position of not establishing official ties with Israel until the conflict with the Palestinians is resolved.
But it is showing signs of greater openness towards Israel, and on Friday announced it was lifting overflight restrictions on aircraft travelling to and from Israel, a move Biden hailed as "historic".
Israeli caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid went further saying: "This is the first official step in normalisation with Saudi Arabia."

Many people experience weight gain in particular body parts. Both men and women frequently gain weight in their lower bellies. But how can one lose this weight?
The greatest strategy to reduce body fat is to create a calorie deficit, which means consuming fewer calories. However, one can still target that region with the exercises listed below to make sure the muscles there are strong, giving it a more toned appearance.
Plank
The majority of people enjoy doing crunches, however, they are not the best workout for developing core muscles. Planking is a fantastic workout that targets the core muscles and is an excellent substitute for crunches.
Ab wheel rollout
This exercise works your rectus abdominis, which is the six-pack part of your abs. Additionally, it activates the deep-core muscles known as the transverse abdominis. It engages both the internal and external oblique muscles, making it a full-body core workout rather than simply a lower belly exercise.
Leg raises
Leg lifts come in a wide variety of forms, including single leg raises, double leg raises, hanging leg raises, hanging knee raises, and more. It strengthens and stretches your lower back and hips while you work on the lower portion of your abs. | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/07/16/you-can-lose-lower-belly-fat-by-doing-these-exercises.html | 2022-07-16T03:24:32Z | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/07/16/you-can-lose-lower-belly-fat-by-doing-these-exercises.html | false | 1 |

Are Christian leaders even reading the same Bible as the Church?
Growing up with a strict father who had been a senior military officer in China during the pre-Communist era meant that academic success and driving ambition were instilled into me from a young age.
At university there was only one goal - to become a successful research scientist. But God had other plans. It was at university where my Christian faith began to deepen. For the first time in my life, I understood clearly the meaning of my call to follow Jesus - self-denial and dying to one's ambitions and dreams (Mark 8:34; John 12:24–26).
It is a spiritual battle that we all face throughout our lives, against our ambition and pride, and it is a battle that does not end even when a person surrenders to God's call to the full-time vocational ministry. It is a battle that we don't always win, but God can still use our weakness to bring his purposes to pass.
This conflict can come to the fore or intensify particularly when we become leaders or enter positions of prominence in the church or at a Christian organisation. Despite our best intentions, our ambitions can assert themselves in various ugly ways, especially when the rules of the game are often defined by competition and public success. However much we talk about seeking to glorify God in our ministry, the ever-present temptation to 'steal God's glory' for ourselves lurks inside all of us.
Often our supporters can unintentionally become our worst enemies internally as we allow their flattery to feed our ego, and their willingness to put us on a pedestal encourages us to develop messianic complexes. Many examples of leaders swallowing their own 'hype' exist throughout history, both inside and outside of the church.
What has troubled me deeply over my years in ministry is that so many individuals I've known were striving to be leaders and to be known as leaders, as if that was the goal of the Christian life. The problem is, how many true servants exist at the top of the pile?
Many of these leaders are being cheered on by thousands of Christian publications, and write seminars on how to become successful leaders in the kingdom of God, even though the Bible's constant emphasis is on being faithful and obedient servants. Sometimes I wonder, are we even reading the same Bible?
More recently, we have witnessed the flood of revelations concerning leadership failures throughout the global church. These include power and financial abuses among megachurch pastors, sexual sin among Catholic priests and Protestant preachers, politicking for advancement and promotion, and so on.
With the constant drumbeat about leadership in the modern church patterned on secular models, encouraging and even sanctifying self-seeking ambition and celebrity status, could it be that we are largely blinded to the serious leadership crisis facing the church today? We need to listen to the call to return to servanthood - not servant leadership - and understand it as the heart of Christian ministry.
My concern is also missiological. Sometime around 1980, the centre of gravity in the global church moved out of the West towards Majority World nations, where two-thirds of all Christians in the world live today. Despite the amazing growth of the churches in the Majority World in the past century, discipleship and leadership are major challenges confronting us.
It used to be said, with some exaggeration, that the church in Africa is three thousand miles wide and one inch deep. The truth is that this is a challenge facing the whole global church today, including the West, but especially the younger churches in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region.
The shift of the centre of gravity of the global church into the Majority World confers a greater degree of responsibility upon these churches. And only if those of us in these churches adequately address the challenges of discipleship, and recover the spirit of true servanthood, can our churches fully mature into what God intends them to be. Only then will we be able to embrace fully our God-given responsibilities for this generation.
To counter these leadership challenges and become true servants, we need to resolve from the very beginning to fight pride and personal ambition through dying to self and seeking constantly the path of humility. Setting aside time to cultivate a life of prayer is integral to this process. We must stop thinking of ourselves as 'the leader without whom nothing moves', for that is a sure recipe for megalomania if ever there was one!
It is good to remind ourselves of Jesus's parable about the "Unworthy Servant." When we have done everything that our office or position requires of us, even if we are highly successful, we are still unworthy servants who "have only done what was our duty" (Luke 17:10).

News published on July 11, World Population Day, gives India the dubious distinction of having the world’s largest population, by 2023. As a nation are we ready to deal with the emerging situation? My prognosis: we are poised to win but we must confront and surmount three tough challenges.
First, let us talk about what is favourable. A large population is not a calamity. While the Western world, Japan and China are enduring the longevity of too many old people, India can rest assured this will never happen here. Our share of the elderly will keep growing – but gradually – as both life expectancy and facilities for tertiary and quaternary care are improving. But there is no possibility that old people will depend on robots or be left destined to die alone at an old age home. In demographic terms, India does not suffer from an adverse dependency ratio which is a huge positive.
Caring for families is part of our cultural ethos. Most middle-class Indians living away from their parents, in the same city or elsewhere, maintain strong bonds with their families. Among the working class and rural poor, social cohesion is even stronger. My field study of Kusumpur Pahari – a huge 40-year-old slum located near our private colony in south Delhi revealed that grandfathers who came to the capital from villages in Bihar, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh as youngsters, 30 years ago, to work as construction labour or rickshaw pullers, have returned to their village homes. Their children have received schooling in Delhi, continue to live in the same slum and every adult member, male or female, earns wages. Every guard, driver, domestic help, and even skilled people like electricians, plumbers, carpenters, masons, and welders told me that even after living for three generations in the Kusumpur Pahari slum, they visit their village homes regularly. Aged parents and siblings continue to receive remittances. This vignette gives confidence that despite urban migration, the elderly from the working class will never become a burden on society. Old age pensions have also helped.
The second good news is that fertility rates have fallen across the Indian states and that includes all communities and religions – despite alarming videos which foretell disaster. Fertility levels of all religious groups are converging extremely fast, and the problem of unwanted fertility is limited to identified districts mostly in Bihar, UP, and Jharkhand where the use of modern methods of contraception is less than 10% – among all communities. But given that the National Rural Health Mission has succeeded in ensuring safe institutional deliveries and adoption of family planning across the erstwhile BIMARU states, the laggard districts will catch up. For most poor women, the shackles of repeated childbirths and unsafe abortions stand severed.
The third positive news is that once the working-age population increases, opportunities for economic growth will explode. Our working-age population will boom for at least three decades more – making us the envy of the world. But for reaping the human resource harvest the population must be healthy and educated. And we are simply not doing enough.
Vast swathes of the population across socio-economic groups are increasingly suffering from diabetes, hypertension, and CVD. Prevention, not treatment, is the answer. Hospitalisation helps lakhs but prevention ensures freedom from disease for millions. Healthy populations are more productive, healthier children stay rooted in school, do not fall prey to childhood illnesses, and healthy people live longer with fewer hospitalisations. Governments have a responsibility to create conditions for staying healthy – not see healthcare through the narrow lens of hospital treatment. Needed are strong preventive health policies that address infant, child, and adolescent nutrition, and incentivise people to adopt healthy lifestyles and stay out of hospital.
On child-bearing, some uniquely Indian phenomena need to be flagged. Double-income Indian couples are increasingly choosing not to have children or to have only one child. The International Institute of Population Sciences refers to the “Child is King” syndrome – a demographic one-child transition which is real. China, once hailed for its one-child policy, now grapples in despair, its incentives to bear more children spurned by couples. In India, we have an additional problem – a strong son bias. While the sex ratio has improved, the child sex ratio is at unacceptable levels in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Telangana, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Bihar, Odisha, Himachal Pradesh, and Tamil Nādu. The implications are a further decline in women’s labour force participation and increased crime and violence against women. Both can snatch away the gains of a youthful population.
Employability is essential to utilise a burgeoning youthful population productively. And education is fundamental to employability. Across the board, Covid has pushed back school and college learning by two years and its effect particularly on young children is presently unknown. Already, business promoters are advocating leapfrogging across traditional courses by replacing university education with non-academic, practitioner-run courses. But can the intangible gains from reading, peer learning, team spirit, and healthy competition be sacrificed to ride a tiger called technology? No. We need to first forecast future needs and then facilitate courses that have high employment potential to meet market demand. Unless the future manpower requirements are calculated sector by sector and the curriculum correlates with those needs, we may foster irrelevance and, in time, frustration.
Lastly, we must face water scarcity which is forcing citizens to take to the streets. Unless the decades-old focus on water-guzzling crops corrects, we may have abundant food to eat but no water to live. The National Institute of Hydrology had rung alarm bells about what has happened to the water situation in Punjab and Haryana, but no impactful changes are visible even after more than two years. A thirsty population, a dead river Yamuna, and water fights do not augur well for the vast populace of the northern states.
India has a windfall opportunity to scale mountains. But so much depends on our desire and capacity to see a healthy, educated population reach its true potential. Demonstrably, not rhetorically.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democrat John Fetterman posted a massive $11 million fundraising haul during the second quarter. He’s on an advertising spree that’s made him a near-constant presence on television in Pennsylvania. And he grabs attention with snarky, irreverent social media posts.
The only thing missing from one of the most competitive U.S. Senate races this year is the candidate himself.
Fetterman, 52, has yet to return to the campaign trail in a significant way since a May 13 stroke required surgery to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator and prompted a revelation that he had a serious heart condition.
The advertisements currently on the air were recorded before the stroke. He hasn’t fielded questions from the press. And when the hoodie- and shorts-wearing Fetterman did make a campaign appearance, it was under controlled circumstances and without advance notice to reporters.
Democratic hopes to maintain — or even expand — their fragile Senate majority hinge on the party’s ability to capture the seat being vacated by the retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey. And with barely two months until voters can begin casting mail-in ballots, Fetterman is absent from traditional retail campaigning.
But in an otherwise anxiety-provoking election year for Democrats, party officials and activists in Pennsylvania say they’re no longer worried about Fetterman’s campaign and that they are being told repeatedly that he’ll be fine.
“The campaign told me they figured mid-July he’d start getting out,” said Joe Foster, who recently retired as party chair in heavily populated Montgomery County.
Fetterman’s campaign has provided little detail about Fetterman’s health since early June, though it acknowledges he has not completely recovered from the stroke and sometimes struggles to speak smoothly. But they don’t intend to wait for a full recovery and say Fetterman will be on the campaign trail soon.
Next up may be a July 21 fundraiser scheduled with Democratic Jewish Outreach Pennsylvania. Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor, had been expected to speak there, though his campaign hasn’t said whether those remarks will be delivered virtually or in person at the event in suburban Philadelphia.
The state’s deadline for a candidate to voluntarily remove themselves from the November general election ballot is Aug. 15 — something Democrats say is not a topic of discussion.
Meanwhile, Democrats are taking some comfort from what they perceive as a relatively quiet campaign by Fetterman’s Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Since narrowly winning the GOP nomination, the celebrity heart surgeon has campaigned in 40-some — by his campaign’s account — largely low-key affairs, such as drop-ins at businesses, diners and fairs.
He also took time out to attend Michael Rubin’s party in Long Island’s ritzy Hamptons on July 4 and delivered keynote remarks at May’s annual meeting in Boca Raton, Florida, for the Direct Selling Association — a trade group for “multilevel marketing” companies such as Amway.
Then there was the campaign video he recorded — at his sprawling home in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan where he practiced medicine, filmed his daytime TV talk show “The Dr. Oz Show” and lived for more than two decades before seeking Pennsylvania’s Senate seat.
That played neatly into the hands of the Fetterman campaign, which had already been attacking Oz as a fabulously wealthy carpetbagging New Jerseyan who is out of touch with regular Pennsylvanians.
“Pro tip: don’t film an ad for your PA senate campaign from your mansion in New Jersey,” Fetterman’s campaign tweeted.
A Fetterman TV ad now on the air — recorded before his stroke in May — shows Fetterman calling the race a “fundamental choice” between himself who got into politics to be a mayor in Pennsylvania versus Oz who “just moved here to run for office.”
It references a news report on Oz’s financial disclosure that his assets are worth at least $104 million and shows footage of Oz in February laying and kissing his new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“Hey, Doc Hollywood, save your money, Pennsylvania’s not for sale,” Fetterman says.
Then Fetterman flew a plane over weekend beachgoers on the New Jersey shore trailing a sign that said, “HEY DR. OZ, WELCOME HOME TO NJ! ♥ JOHN.”
In perhaps the biggest trolling yet, Fetterman’s campaign on Thursday released a video featuring Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi — star of the infamous MTV show “Jersey Shore” — telling Oz that she heard he moved to Pennsylvania to look for a job and reassured him not to worry “because you’ll be back home in Jersey soon. This is only temporary, so good luck, you got this and Jersey loves you.”
She then blew him a kiss.
In any case, Oz may have bigger tasks than proving he’s a Pennsylvanian.
He’s coming off a hotly contested primary campaign in which he absorbed more than $20 million in attack ads questioning his devotion to conservative principles on things like guns and abortion.
Even with former President Donald Trump’s endorsement, Oz endured three weeks of counting and recounting before declaring victory by fewer than 1,000 votes, or less than one-tenth of one percentage point, over former hedge fund CEO David McCormick.
That’s raised questions about whether Oz can unify Republicans heading into the general election.
For now, Oz is centering his campaign on core GOP messaging, particularly blaming rising inflation on President Joe Biden’s policies and trying to paint Fetterman as extreme.
Oz is not airing TV ads currently, but on Thursday, he posted a 60-second campaign video online that showed him going for a jog in a park and welcoming Fetterman back to the campaign trail.
“I’m glad Fetterman’s healthy,” Oz says, “so we can worry less about his heart and his hoodie and more about the crazy leftist ideas in his head.”
GOP officials say they are confident in Oz’s ability to appeal to moderates who are critical to victory in the swing state and Oz is getting help from the Koch-backed grassroots organization Americans for Prosperity and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
The NRSC also has worked to raise questions in voters’ minds about Fetterman’s health.
Last week, it created a fake “Have You Seen This Person?” poster online, showing Fetterman’s face beneath that ominous question and, in the bio, this piece of information: “Last Seen: 05/13/2022.”
That was the day of Fetterman’s stroke, just before a campaign event in Millersville.
While he’s largely out of the public eye, Fetterman is still making fundraising calls and holding meetings with campaign staff, according to a campaign spokesperson.
This week, Fetterman briefly dropped in on a volunteer Zoom call, his campaign said, and joined an hourlong-plus Zoom call with members of J Street, a liberal Jewish advocacy group, that included a question-and-answer session.
“He acknowledged that he’s obviously on the road of recovery, but he certainly seemed well, seemed in a good place to do the event and was very excited about it,” said J Street spokesperson Logan Bayroff.
He is living a relatively normal domestic life, doing chores like picking up his children and running to the grocery store, going out to dinner and taking day trips to Erie and Johnstown and a vacation to the Jersey shore.
An avid walker, Fetterman is getting his miles in, including nearly five miles on Tuesday, the campaign spokesperson said.
The campaign has released edited video clips of Fetterman, including an impromptu appearance last Saturday at a volunteer training session where he briefly addressed volunteers in person.
“I am feeling so great, and we will be back out on the trail soon,” Fetterman told volunteers, somewhat haltingly. “We’re almost at 100%.”

Kipu Health Launches Patient Portal Increasing Care Access and Oversight for Treatment Centers and PatientsNew Kipu Patient Portal delivers real-time treatment and care information to patients, guardians and guarantors
CORAL GABLES, Fla., July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kipu Health, the technology partner for mental health and addiction service providers, today announced the launch of Kipu Patient Portal, delivering critical patient access to information that improves the quality of care for behavioral health patients.
Kipu Patient Portal delivers treatment and care information in real time to patients and their authorized contacts, resulting in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. Through a secure online platform, patients can access and exchange clinical and administrative documentation, view appointments and medications, launch telehealth sessions and more – all in the comfort of their own space.
"The patient portal is a game changer for treatment centers and their patients," said Sally Abu-moustafa, executive vice president of product management at Kipu. "With this level of insight and access to treatment plans, patients and their loved ones can easily view and react to key milestones on their care journey. With real-time information and provider access at their fingertips, the portal engages patients in their care plan which is crucial to positive outcomes."
According to Abu-moustafa, the portal has already generated a lot of demand with nearly 10,000 users registered during the beta-launch phase of the portal's development. She attributes this to the portal's ease of use and intuitive design. It also helps alleviate burdens on clinic staff by reducing the back-and-forth of information sharing through its real-time connection to the Kipu Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platform.

FX Networks has released an official trailer for Season 2 of American Horror Stories. The next batch of episodes will start streaming July 21 on Hulu. Since this is an anthology show, the trailer casts a wide net to show lots of characters in all sorts of new stories. But what is perhaps most eye-catching is the actors who are making their debut in the AHS universe: Judith Light (Transparent), Alicia Silverstone (Clueless), Bella Thorne (Amityville: The Awakening), and Quvenzhané Wallis (Black-ish). The trailer is mainly filled with jump scares, doll heads, and creepy images--so it's hard to really say what the next season will get into, but it'll no doubt be dreadful and great. If you listen closely, you'll hear quick references to masked murders, ancient hauntings, ghosts in bathtubs, and serial killers. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2665559679185/culture-gabfest-lava-thunder-and-screaming-goats-edition | 2022-07-16T03:54:58Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2665559679185/culture-gabfest-lava-thunder-and-screaming-goats-edition | true | 1 |

The first was from Derek Compton, who responded to the article: Surveyors should stick to today’s reality not future caution – JLM
He said: “Let’s face it, valuers have become uncomfortable gods, allowed to make almost life or death decisions on their opinion. We know they are supposed to consider local comparable, but I, and I am sure many of you, have examples of comparable ignored as they didn’t suit a valuation. During Covid, there was down valuation after down valuation from some companies.”
He added: “My last down valuation shows that they change to suit themselves. After being told that a property with an expected £380,000 value needed a physical valuation due to extensions, the valuer chose to ignore this and valued the property on desktop at £300,000 supposedly using local comparable values. The property had been valued at £320,000 two years ago.
“When told to go out and do a physical valuation, they did another desktop. This time, with exactly the same information on the property and comparable only a week older they valued at £380,000. This came up in the client’s favour but it goes to show that they are making it up as they go along as they cannot be challenged.”
Inappropriate advice?
The next article to receive a comment was: Brokers fear coming financial storm may result in equity release ‘misuse’ ‒ analysis
Andy Wilson said: “There will only be one group responsible for any inappropriate sales of equity release to borrowers, as described, and that is the adviser community.
“It won’t be the lenders, nor the solicitors, it will be the adviser community, and more specifically those amongst us who don’t have the skills and knowledge to dig deep into the client’s situation, properly explore the alternatives and recognise when another course of action is more appropriate. They will also need to resist insistent clients who want to release more than is necessary from a new plan, and save them from themselves in some cases.”
He continued: “The financial pressures may be relatively short lived, but as they say, a lifetime mortgage is for life, not just for a crisis.(They don’t they say that? My bad.).”
Uneven restrictions
A responder calling themselves ‘very deceptive’ remarked on this article: Stress test removal should be delayed as we figure out cost-of-living impact – Hunt
They wrote: “An affordability measure that allows for an increase in rates appears to be rational. Rates are increasing at least in the short-term so this is surely logical. Although, perhaps a calculator including a rate rise of three per cent may have been heavy-handed, with history proving this during the last 14 years.
“What appears uneven is the use of income multiples restricting lending. For instance, virtually everyone renting in the lower half of England has spiralling costs, more often than not, exceeding the equivalent mortgage cost for the same property. As per usual, regulation has things backwards.”
They continued: “By the way, buy-to-let lending completely ignores any of these restrictions, basing virtually all criteria on the size of the rental income. First-time buyers continue to struggle while landlords can buy an extra property with ease.”
On-the-job stress
Another article to receive a comment was: Nationwide to launch cost of living hotline to help struggling customers
Spinmeister weighed in, saying: “Perhaps a helpline for distressed brokers would also be appropriate?” | https://www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk/your-community/2022/07/15/valuers-have-become-uncomfortable-gods-star-letter-15-07-2022/ | 2022-07-16T04:10:25Z | https://www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk/your-community/2022/07/15/valuers-have-become-uncomfortable-gods-star-letter-15-07-2022/ | true | 1 |

Canandaigua garden tour offers 6 spots to go green with envy
CANANDAIGUA — On at least one stop of the Ontario County Historical Society’s upcoming garden tour, visitors may be asked to consider the future while enjoying what they are seeing right before their eyes.
The Woods, a developing community farm overlooking Canandaigua Lake, practices no-till gardening, meaning no rototillers or plows are used to disturb the ground, according to owner Casey Wood.
“Everything stays in the ground. You’re not disturbing the soil much," Wood said. “That significantly increases soil health and also significantly reduces the amount of temperature relief so it helps and aids in the cooling of the climate.”
The future, in this case, comes from helping to stem climate change one farm at a time, although there is an educational component to this stop, including water use, the importance of buying local food and in this case, a how-to lesson for perhaps your future garden.
“I’ll talk about how easy it is for anyone to install a little 4-by-4 area of this in their front or backyard,” Wood said.
Education is a big part of the garden tour, as well as a means of raising funds for the Ontario County Historical Society, according to Cody Grabhorn, executive director of the Canandaigua-based history organization.
The fourth annual tour takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 16, and besides the Woods, stops include four private gardens and the gardens at the historic Morgan Samuels Inn & Venue.
Guests are welcome to stroll through the gardens and talk with docents and homeowners about plantings and concepts for each garden. All addresses will be provided in a ticketed full-color booklet for a self-guided driving tour.
The Historical Society and members of the Ontario County Arts Council worked together in finding and choosing the gardens, Grabhorn said.
“I saw the success that an event such as this can be, and how it can shed light on the beauty of our area in western New York,” Grabhorn said. “We hope we can build off of the successes we had last year to make this an even better experience for locals and tourists alike.”
This fundraiser also allows people to learn about museum exhibits such as “Fibers of Our Lives: From Practical Craft to Decorative Art” and a variety of programs for children and adults throughout the year, Grabhorn said.
Speaking of art, Wood said he has a “pretty beautiful canvas to work on.”
A large tree-lined driveway, a significant number of mature maple trees, more than 200 pine trees, 10 acres of woods and trail, and a waterfall that runs seasonally are among the features.
The property also boasts some 10 acres of farmable land where Wood is looking to plant more perennial crops, such as lavender, grapes, blueberries, and a seasonal pumpkin patch.
Visitors will be able to learn more about his 50-foot no-till garden beds — 30 in all — with high-intensity market gardening crops such as salad greens, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, cabbage, peppers, and hardy greens. And for flowers, zinnias, marigolds, dahlias, and sunflowers to catch the eye.
All in an effort to provide a diverse ecosystem as an example to the human race on how all living things can "grow together" in harmony.

'Feel safe here' Naga Munchetty quit London with husband for leafy suburb in rare insight
NAGA MUNCHETTY has opened up about leaving London for the suburbs as the BBC Breakfast presenter gave a rare insight into her home life with her husband, in an unearthed interview.
Naga Munchetty apologises for week's delay of interview
Naga Munchetty addressed a "big change" she faced after the BBC Breakfast presenter left London for a more quiet life. When she's not on set of the morning show, the on-screen host stays in her suburban home with her husband James Haggar and their pet cats.
The 47-year-old and her partner both have extremely busy careers but when the presenter is out of the spotlight she takes refuge at her home in Hertfordshire.
But the move to a leafy suburb was admittedly a big change for Naga who hailed from Streatham in London.
The BBC favourite moved to their home over a decade ago and added she "felt very safe here".
"I was born and bred in south London, so living in Hertfordshire is a big change and I love it", Naga told the Daily Mail in 2016.

"I can look out of the window and see nothing but fields and I feel very safe here. I wanted a dog, but it wouldn't fit our lifestyle, so we got the cats and they're our pride and joy."
Addressing life away from the London commotion, she commented: "I moved to this house six years ago with my husband James Haggar, a TV director."
"And if I'm not away working I'll be curled up on this sofa most nights watching TV and stroking my two Siamese cats, Kinky and Ronnie."
Naga and James dated each other for several years before they tied the knot.
They enjoyed their first date at a pool club - a place both the snooker fans loved.
The couple later tied the knot in 2007 and the broadcaster has since shared a rare insight into their relationship.
Naga previously admitted the couple never had arguments.
"James and I don't row, and he's a lovely, lovely man, he's definitely the better half," she said while discussing her partner on the Her Spirit podcast.

Naga told The Guardian in 2016 that golf is key in their relationship.
She said: "It gives us a few hours together when we’re walking and talking and catching up; it really makes a difference.
"Golf takes you on a journey together, and it means you stay in touch with one another."
Elsewhere, Naga was inundated with support as she told of her devastation at losing her family cat Missy in an emotional social media post.
The BBC Breakfast host took to Instagram to tell how the death of their beloved cat has left a "hole" in hers and her husband's hearts as she paid tribute to the feline.
She wrote: "Said goodbye to our darling, sweet girl Missy yesterday. She may have been small, but she was immense in stature.
"The sweetest cat I've ever loved.
"She's left a massive hole in our hearts and home," she ended the post.

Don’t stars matter more now? … Posted by Canesfan77
Now, with NIL, the star ratings do have an actual affect on their earning potential.

Celsius Starting Bankruptcy Proceedings: Report

Bend Fire Inspector Melissa Steele says the High Desert is in a high danger zone currently, but expects that to change to extreme danger very soon.
“As we’ve seen in our brush fires the last few days, that things are burning and so it’s just going to get dryer,” said Steele.
Perfect timing for a free fuel reduction program called the Central Oregon Wildfire Workforce Partnership.
“To help the community and neighborhoods to get rid of that dead vegetation that does not need to be there in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson Counties,” said Steele.
The program is put on by the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council in partnership with the non-profit Heart of Oregon Corp.
Fire inspectors will look at three zones outside your house.
The first zone is the zero to five foot zone. Checking your roof, gutters anything combustible from zero to five feet within your home, including on the ground.
“So what I see is you have fire resistant plants, which is excellent,” said Steele about checking the first of three zones on a local house.
Zone number two, the five feet to thirty feet zone, looking at dry weeds and plants, trees and how far off the ground they are.
“We’ve got some pine trees that are right next to a wooden fence, right next to a house with wooden sighting,” said Steele. “What we are wanting to do in that five to thirty zone is remove anything that is not necessary.”
Finally Zone three, the thirty to a hundred foot zone.
Spacing and thinning out trees to reduce the intensity if a wildfire does come.
“The ladder fuel is, think of it as climbing a ladder,” said Steele. “The fire starts on the surface, it moves up into the grass, which then moves up into bushes, which then can move up into the branches of the tree.”
Again, it’s a free inspection.
So, If you feel like your area is in a fire danger, you can call Bend Fire and Rescue at 541-322-7300.
“We can come out and give you that assessment and we can tell you what kind of fire hazard you are in and give you that education to make the right plan for your neighborhood,” said Steele.

Zoo, poultry farmers protecting birds as avian flu arrives
The highly contagious disease was first detected in wild birds in late December on the East Coast
Some birds at the San Diego Zoo have been moved to new locations and poultry farms are taking precautions with their flocks following an announcement that a highly contagious strain of avian flu has hit California.
The flu has not been detected in San Diego County, but has been spreading across the United States.
Visitors to the San Diego Zoo will notice flamingos are missing from their usual highly visible location in the front plaza, having been moved to a newly covered duck pond at the bottom of the hill leading to the polar bear exhibit.
Guests also won’t see any peacocks or peahens roaming the grounds, as they have been moved to an enclosure not open to the public behind the zoo’s hospital.
The moves followed the California Department of Fish and Wildlife announcement Thursday that wildlife disease specialists had confirmed the Highly Pathogenic Eurasian H5N1 Avian Influenza had been detected in three wild birds found in Colusa and Glenn counties.
The avian flu was first detected in wild birds last December and early January in North Carolina and South Carolina, and the first outbreak in a commercial turkey flock was discovered in early February in Indiana. The H5N1 strain had been on the rise across Europe since October 2021.
The zoo and Safari Park had been preparing plans to protect its 3,700 birds for the past few months.
Hendrik Nollens, vice president of wildlife health for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, said preparations included modifying a building at Safari Park’s Bird Breeding Center to protect birds in the park. Nollens said almost all birds in the park eventually will be moved inside beginning next week.
“We’re trying to be safe but not go overboard so we don’t move birds unnecessarily way ahead of time,” he said. “We’ve been thinking through these scenarios.”
The disease is thought to be spread by migrating water fowl, making the zoo’s flamingos and other water birds the most vulnerable to catch the virus. Nollens said water fowl at Safari Park will be the first to be moved indoors, with other birds to follow in the weeks ahead.
Avian flu viruses are not uncommon, but the strain of H5N1 in circulation in the U.S. and Canada has been causing illness and death in a higher diversity of wild bird species than during previous outbreaks, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The virus also is highly contagious for domestic poultry, although there are no confirmed cases in domestic poultry in California.
Nationwide, 40 million cases have been reported in domestic poultry in 37 states, according to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC also reports that as of Friday, the flu has been detected in at least 1,826 individual wild birds in 43 states and the District of Columbia since January.
Nollens said the zoo and Safari Park have never had to take the steps they are doing now, although they were prepared to do something similar about five years ago when there was a threat of an Exotic Newcastle disease outbreak.
He’s not sure how long it will be before the latest threat passes and birds are moved back to their original locations, but he is hopeful the flu will subside by the fall or winter.
Farnk Hilliker, a San Diego Farm Bureau board member and owner of Hilliker’s Ranch Fresh Eggs, Inc. in Lakeside, said he is not taking any extra precautions because his poultry farm has had a robust biosecurity plan in place since another avian flu outbreak occurred about 15 years ago.
“We’ve had PPEs (personal protective equipment) before it was cool to have them,” he said.
Any visitor to the poultry barn is required to wear a face mask, and equipment and vehicles are routinely disinfected, he said.
“We keep everything contained, and we’re constantly disinfecting for all the potential things that can happen to chickens, whether it’s avian flu or Exotic Newcastle disease or coryza or any of the other things chicken could probably get,” he said. “We take biosecurity very serious.”
Hilliker’s Ranch Fresh Eggs is one of five poultry farms in the county and one of the smallest with 30,000 birds. Hilliker said there are about 2 million chickens in the county.
Like other poultry farms in the state, Hilliker said he follows the rules of the California Egg Equality Insurance Program as well as biosecurity rules by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which are mandated for all poultry farms with more than 3,000 birds.
Despite those precautions, Hilliker still has some concerns about the new strain.
“We could still get it,” he said. “The precautions just limit your risk.”
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Veterinary Services Laboratories confirmed the detection of the flu in two Canada geese and one American white pelican on Tuesday.
The birds had been collected by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service on July 5 at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex and submitted to the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Wildlife Health Center for preliminary testing.
Transmission of the virus strain to humans is low, with the CDC reporting one case in April and no others dating back to 2010.
Nollens said he is familiar with that one case, and described the infected person as someone who came in close contact with infected birds while depopulating a poultry farm affected by the outbreak.
The CDC recommends people wash their hands and wear gloves and face masks if they are in contact with wild birds or domestic poultry.
While infections appear to be rare among songbirds and common backyard birds, the CDC discourages feeding and providing water to wild birds, especially near backyard poultry or other captive birds such as ducks, geese, pigeons, doves and parrots.
Wild birds should be excluded from entering enclosures for domestic and pet birds, and food and water should not be shared between wild birds and domestic or pet birds.
The avian flu also can affect predators and scavengers that feed on infected birds.
The public may report dead wild birds using CDFW’s mortality reporting form or by calling (866) 922-2473.

NEW YORK, July 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Teladoc Health, Inc. (NYSE: TDOC) between October 28, 2021 and April 27, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 5, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Teladoc Health securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Teladoc Health class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6818 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. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 5, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) increased competition, among other factors, was negatively impacting Teladoc Health's BetterHelp and chronic care businesses; (2) accordingly, the growth of those businesses was less sustainable than defendants had led investors to believe; (3) as a result, Teladoc Health's revenue and adjusted EBITDA projections for its fiscal year 2022 were unrealistic; (4) as a result of all the foregoing, Teladoc Health would be forced to recognize a significant non-cash goodwill impairment charge; and (5) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Teladoc Health class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6818 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.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the U.S. Capitol attack subpoenaed the Secret Service on Friday night for text messages agents reportedly deleted around Jan. 6, 2021.
Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said in a statement that the committee is seeking "the relevant text messages, as well as any after action reports that have been issued in any and all divisions of the USSS pertaining or relating in any way to the events of January 6, 2021.”
The subpoenas come hours after the nine-member panel received a closed briefing from the watchdog for Department of Homeland Security. The committee had originally sought the electronic records in mid-January and made an official request in March for all communications received or sent from DHS employees between Jan. 5 and Jan. 7, 2021.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
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. | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/jan-6-panel-subpoenas-secret-service-for-erased-texts-messages/507-f30f1c53-855f-4357-b213-5f884c934614 | 2022-07-16T04:56:02Z | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/jan-6-panel-subpoenas-secret-service-for-erased-texts-messages/507-f30f1c53-855f-4357-b213-5f884c934614 | true | 15 |
Vicky Pattison says she was worried she would “go the same way” as her father and become an alcoholic, leading her own children to be “broken”. The Geordie Shore star, who was known for her excessive drinking, said despite not wanting to emulate her father’s behaviour, there had been times in her life when she had been “exactly like him”.
It comes ahead of the release of her new Channel 4 documentary Vicky Pattison: My Dad, Alcohol and Me. Pattison, 34, said she hoped the film would “bring more sunlight to alcoholism and breakdown the stigma surrounding it”.
Speaking to The Times Magazine, she talked about Geordie Shore and how her fellow “cast members” had gained a reputation for “glamourising” binge drinking. Pattison said she feels “sick to her stomach” watching back at clips from the Newcastle-based reality show, and that she “didn’t like who it made me become”.
“I believed I was my father’s daughter, so it was going to happen sooner or later and didn’t really matter when,” she said. “Loads of people on the show had a really nice time and became funny and silly and then stopped. That was never me. I don’t have an off switch and I was never a nice drunk.”
Pattison added that she “did not blame” the show’s producers, but at the age of 22 did not have the skills to “navigate being surrounded by that much alcohol”.
The reality star was arrested in 2013 after throwing a shoe inside a bar which injured a woman and a staff member.She was suspended from Geordie Shore and says she contemplated suicide but was supported through by her sister and a friend. She returned to the show for two more series and finally quit in 2014.
She told The Times she remembered being used “as a human walking stick” by her father, John, and that as she got older, his drinking became worse. “When you grow up with something, you just think it’s normal,” she said. “I thought all houses were loud. Dad used to fall over an awful lot.
“The boys didn’t want to knock on my door because Dad could be scary. I didn’t want to be like him. But at points, I’ve been exactly like him. The idea that alcoholism was some kind of gene frightened me and made me think I had no option but to go the same way. I saw I needed to take steps to change things.”
Pattinson says that she wants to be a mother despite harbouring doubts, and hopes that her new documentary will give people a better understanding of the lives of alcoholics and their children. She said: “I didn’t understand and I used to get mad – mad at my dad and mad at myself, because I’d see myself destroying everything I’d prayed for and I couldn’t stop."

NEW YORK (AP) — Two news outlets’ decision to release an excruciating 77-minute video this week showing police inaction during the Robb Elementary School mass shooting drew a harsh response from residents of Uvalde, Texas, even though they have sought this type of transparency for weeks.
Families of the 19 children and two teachers killed by an 18-year-old gunman on May 24 said the Austin American-Statesman and KVUE-TV displayed insensitivity by releasing the video to the public before those directly affected had a chance to see it.
The surveillance video footage published Tuesday — which was then shown and written about by other news organizations — captures the gunman entering the school, and includes audio of shots fired from inside a classroom. It shows police quickly entering the school and then milling about in a hallway for more than an hour before they eventually kill the gunman.
The community's response reflects the raw feelings directed toward reporters who came to Uvalde to probe what happened, and the reality that journalism often steps on toes.
The Texas House of Representatives committee investigating the police response to the shooting had planned to show the footage this Sunday to family members and then release it to the public. The committee is still holding a closed-door session with residents that day to discuss the conclusion of its probe.
“We get blindsided by a leak,” said Angel Garza, whose 10-year-old daughter, Amerie Jo, was killed at Robb, according to CNN, which covered the appearance of some family members this week at an event in Washington. “Who do you think you are to release footage like that of our children who can’t even speak for themselves, but you want to go ahead and air their final moments to the entire world? What makes you think that’s OK?"
Kimberly Rubio said at the Washington event that she understood the need to hold officials accountable, but that she didn't want to hear the sound of gunfire from that day. Her daughter, Lexi, 10, was killed.
Although he doesn't agree with how the investigation has been handled, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin called the media release of the video unprofessional.
“There was no reason for the families to have to see that," McLaughlin said. "They needed to see the video but they didn’t need to see the gunman come in or hear the gunshots.”
The news outlets have said they reached out to family members before the video was released, although it was not clear how many they reached or what the response was. The American-Statesman referred a reporter to a column written by Manny Garcia, the paper's executive editor, which didn't address the subject. KVUE's news director, Christina Ginn, did not respond to calls seeking comment.
On social media, Ginn retweeted a comment from another journalist that police could have shared the video with families already themselves. Journalists had been seeking its release for weeks, given that the police response is the central focus of the investigation.
Before releasing the video, the outlets edited out the sound of screaming. The image of a boy in the hallway who spotted the gunman and quickly darted away to safety, was blurred out to protect his privacy.
During its first airing of the video, KVUE said that Tony Plohetski, a reporter who works for both the newspaper and television station, had first seen the video two weeks earlier.
They considered holding back until the video was officially released. “The problem with that is the authorities constantly, from day one, have failed the people of Uvalde,” Plohetski told CNN. He declined further comment to The Associated Press.
“The truth always wins,” Garcia wrote in his message to American-Statesman readers, “maybe not on our clock, but the truth always prevails.”
The news outlets could have waited until next week, but they wouldn't have been acting in the best interests of the public, said Kelly McBride, an expert on journalism ethics at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. In this case, the video had clear and strong news value, she said.
It's often hard to make a journalistic decision for the public at large without upsetting a small group of people.
While family members are important stakeholders in the story, “we are talking about a much broader interest group, and that is the public that believes police officers will act in their best interests. You can clearly see that's not happening,” she said.

TEACHER OF THE WEEK
ST. PAULS – Knowing her work makes a lasting impact on the lives of her students helps one St. Pauls Elementary educator continue her work each day in the classroom.
Melissa Combs is in her fifth year of teaching at St. Pauls Elementary School, where she currently teaches English/Language Arts and Social Studies to fourth-grade students. Combs also serves as a Junior Beta Club sponsor at the school.
“Having students come back and see you and tell you that you had an impact on them in some way is what makes all the difficult times worth it,” Combs said.
Combs enjoys watching the expressions on her students’ faces when they understand a lesson “or when we get to a good part in a book that we are reading in class.”
But, the most important part of the profession to Combs is helping students as they learn in “any way” she can, she said.
Combs shared one of many important lessons learned during her time in the role.
“Setting boundaries and taking care of myself is just as important as being a teacher,” she said.
Doing so allows her to teach more effectively, according to Combs.
During Combs’ five years in the classroom, challenges have come and she has gained the strength to overcome each of them through the help of others.
“My time as a teacher has been nothing but overcoming challenges such as hurricanes and COVID,” Combs said.
“Having a strong support system such as my grade level team, my principal and assistant principal, and my school has helped me to overcome any challenges and still provide support and help to our students,” Combs added.
Combs also shared a message to future educators, reminding them the job is all about balance.
“Learn how to balance all of what you have to do and you’ll do great,” she said.
Combs also wished to share a message to parents of her students.
“Thank you to all the parents who give their teachers support and communicate, we appreciate all that you do to help,” she said.

COLOMBO – Sri Lankan lawmakers prepared to meet Saturday to begin choosing a new leader to serve the rest of the term abandoned by the president who fled abroad and resigned after mass protests over the country’s economic collapse.
A day earlier, Sri Lanka’s prime minister was sworn in as interim president until Parliament elects a successor to Gotabaya Rajapaksa, whose term ends in 2024. Parliament Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana promised a swift and transparent political process that should be done within a week.
The new president could appoint a new prime minister, who would then have to be approved by Parliament.
Security around the Parliament building in the capital, Colombo, was heightened on Saturday with armed masked soldiers and roads near the building closed to the public.
In a televised statement, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said he would initiate steps to change the constitution to curb presidential powers and strengthen Parliament, restore law and order and take legal action against “insurgents.”
It was unclear to whom he was referring, although he said true protesters would not have gotten involved in clashes Wednesday night near Parliament, where many soldiers reportedly were injured.
"There is a big difference between protesters and insurgents. We will take legal action against insurgents,” he said.
Wickremesinghe became acting president after Rajapaksa fled Sri Lanka on Wednesday and flew first to the Maldives and then to Singapore. Many protesters insisted that Wickremesinghe too should step aside.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka’s opposition leader, who is seeking the presidency, vowed to “listen to the people” and to hold Rajapaksa accountable.
In an interview with The Associated Press from his office, Sajith Premadasa said that if he wins the election in Parliament, he would ensure that “an elective dictatorship never, ever occurs” in Sri Lanka.
“That’s what we should do. That is our function — catching those who looted Sri Lanka. That should be done through proper constitutional, legal, democratic procedures,” Premadasa said.
Sri Lanka has run short of money to pay for imports of basic necessities such as food, fertilizer, medicine and fuel for its 22 million people. Its rapid economic decline has been all the more shocking because, before this crisis, the economy had been expanding, with a growing, comfortable middle class.
The protests underscored the dramatic fall of the Rajapaksa political clan that has ruled Sri Lanka for most of the past two decades.
The Rev. Jeewantha Peiris, a Catholic priest and protest leader, said the country had "come through a hard journey.”
“We are happy as a collective effort because this struggle of Sri Lanka was participated by all the citizens of Sri Lanka, even diaspora of Sri Lanka," he said.
Sri Lanka remains a powder keg, and the military warned Thursday that it had powers to respond in case of chaos — a message some found ominous.
The speaker urged the public to “create a peaceful atmosphere" for the democratic process and for Parliament to "function freely and conscientiously.”
Sri Lanka is seeking help from the International Monetary Fund and other creditors, but its finances are so poor that even obtaining a bailout has proven difficult, Wickremesinghe recently said.
The protesters accuse Rajapaksa and his powerful political family of siphoning money from government coffers and of hastening the country’s collapse by mismanaging the economy. The family has denied the corruption allegations, but Rajapaksa acknowledged that some of his policies contributed to Sri Lanka's meltdown.
Maduka Iroshan, 26, a university student and protester, said he was “thrilled" that Rajapaksa had quit, because he “ruined the dreams of the young generation.”
Months of protests reached a frenzied peak last weekend when demonstrators stormed the president’s home and office and Wickremesinghe's official residence. On Wednesday, they seized his office.
The demonstrators initially vowed to stay until a new government was in place, but they shifted tactics Thursday, apparently concerned that an escalation in violence could undermine their message following clashes outside Parliament that left dozens injured.
Protester Mirak Raheem noted the lack of violence and said the work was far from over.
“This is really something amazing, the fact that it happened on the back of largely peaceful protest. But obviously this is just a beginning,” Raheem said, citing work to rebuild the economy and restore public confidence in the political system.
Rajapaksa and his wife slipped away in the night aboard a military plane early Wednesday. On Thursday, he went to Singapore, according to the city-state’s Foreign Ministry. It said he had not requested asylum, and it was unclear if he would stay or move on. He previously has obtained medical services there, including undergoing heart surgery.
Since Sri Lankan presidents are protected from arrest while in power, Rajapaksa likely wanted to leave while he still had constitutional immunity and access to the plane.
As a military strategist whose brutal campaign helped end the country’s 26-year civil war, Rajapaksa and his brother, who was president at the time, were once hailed by the island’s Buddhist Sinhalese majority. Despite accusations of wartime atrocities, including ordering military attacks on ethnic Tamil civilians and abducting journalists, Rajapaksa remained popular among many Sri Lankans. He has continually denied the allegations.

Rohit Sharma Bats For Return Of Multi-Team Series In White-Ball Cricket
Rohit Sharma-led Indian team will be facing England in the third and decider ODI on Sunday in Manchester.
- Abhimanyu Bose
- Updated: July 16, 2022 10:30 AM IST
The cricket calendar has become more jam-packed in recent years, with teams often facing off with gaps of just one day or sometimes, even on consecutive days. A recent example would be the final two T20 Internationals in the series between England and India. India captain Rohit Sharma has said that a way to better manage scheduling would be the return of tri-series or quadrangular series, so all teams get more rest days and can, as a result, play with more intensity when they do have matches.
"I do think it is important but it can be managed in a better way for sure. The scheduling has to be done with some space as well. You have to play bilateral series," Rohit Sharma said when asked if bilateral series are losing relevance with the advent of more T20 leagues across the world and a growingly busy calendar.
"There was a time, when we were kids, I grew up, I watched a lot of tri-series or quadrangular series, but that has completely stopped. I think that can be a way forward so that there is enough time for a team to recover and get back," he said.
"These all are high-pressure games that we play, whenever you represent your country, you want to come out with a lot of intensity," he explained.
"You do not want to compromise on that so of course, I do understand when we play the bilateral series, the scheduling, time between each game can be managed slightly better, not just from India's perspective, but all boards," Rohit said.
"If that happens, you see the best quality of players coming out and representing every game. When you play back-to-back games, you have to look after players and understand the workload," he added.
"Honestly, from the outside world, people want to see all the best players playing and if those things are managed quite well, the quality of cricket will not be compromised," the India skipper concluded.

India and England are currently playing a three-match ODI series, which is level at 1-1 after the first two matches.
The decider will be played on Sunday at Old Trafford in Manchester. | https://sports.ndtv.com/england-vs-india-2022/rohit-sharma-bats-for-return-of-multi-team-series-in-white-ball-cricket-3163105 | 2022-07-16T05:16:57Z | https://sports.ndtv.com/england-vs-india-2022/rohit-sharma-bats-for-return-of-multi-team-series-in-white-ball-cricket-3163105 | true | 1 |

Biden meets with Arab Gulf countries to counter Iran threat
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - President Joe Biden on Saturday will lay out his strategy for the Middle East as he closes out of the final leg of a four-day trip meant to bolster U.S. positioning and knit the region together against Iran.
In the Red Sea port city of Jeddah, Biden will meet with heads of state from six Arab Gulf countries, plus Egypt, Jordan and Iraq for a regional summit. It comes a day after he championed steps toward normalizing ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and sought to rebuild cooperation with the Saudi king and crown prince after once promising to make the kingdom a "pariah" for its human rights abuses.
When he speaks to the Gulf Cooperation Council and its Arab allies, the White House said, Biden will offer his most fulsome vision yet for the region and how the U.S. can cooperate with it.
His first Middle East trip comes 11 months after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and as Biden aims to reprioritize the U.S. away from the Middle East´s ruinous wars and ongoing conflicts stretching from Libya to Syria.
"It´s a strategy fit for purpose for 2022 as opposed to the two decades of major land wars that the U.S. fought in this region over the course of the 2000s," Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters in a preview of the speech.

Russian cruise missiles rain down on southern Ukrainian city
VINNYTSIA, Ukraine (AP) - Cruise missiles fired by Russian strategic bombers struck a southeastern Ukrainian city late Friday, killing at least three people and wounding 15, as air raid sirens went off across the country, officials said.
The attack on Dnipro came a day after a Russian missile strike killed at least 23 people and wounded more than 200 in Vinnytsia, a city southwest of Kyiv, the capital.
Russia´s military campaign has been focusing on the Donbas in Ukraine´s east, but Russian forces also have been pounding other parts of the country in a relentless push to wrest territory from Ukraine and soften the morale of its leaders, civilians and troops as the war nears the five-month mark.
Ukraine´s air force said several Kh-101 cruise missiles fired from Tu-95MS strategic bombers over the Caspian Sea hit a factory about 10 p.m. in Dnipro, a major city on the Dnieper River. Four incoming missiles were intercepted, it said. Videos posted on social media showed fiery explosions and towering plumes of dark smoke.
The regional governor, Valentyn Reznichenko, said the missiles hit the factory and nearby streets, killing at least three people and wounding 15.

Biden tells Dems to quickly pass pared-down economic package
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden seemed to bow Friday to Sen. Joe Manchin's demand for a slimmed-down economic package, telling Democrats to quickly push the election-year measure through Congress so families could "sleep easier" and enjoy the health care savings it proposes.
Biden's statement came hours after Manchin, the West Virginian who is one of Congress' more conservative Democrats, said that if party leaders wanted to pass a measure before next month's recess, it should be limited to provisions curbing prescription drug prices, extending subsidies for people buying health insurance and reducing the federal deficit.
Even so, Biden's directive would mean postponing congressional action on easing climate change and raising taxes on higher earners and large companies, components he and Democrats have long wanted in the economic package. That would represent a jarring setback for goals that rank among the party´s most deeply held aspirations and would delay a risky showdown over the plan until the cusp of November´s elections.
The president's remarks underscored a growing sentiment among Democrats that after months of bargaining with Manchin that only made the president's top-tier domestic priority ever smaller, it was time to declare victory. Reducing pharmaceutical costs, helping consumers purchase health coverage and trimming federal red ink are Democratic priorities and passage would let them flash achievements before voters that Republicans are on track to solidly oppose.
"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," Biden said in a statement released by the White House.

Medical examiner: Jayland Walker was shot dozens of times
AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Jayland Walker, the 25-year-old Black man who died last month at the hands of police in Akron, Ohio, was shot dozens of times, with 26 bullets recovered from his body, according to a preliminary autopsy report released Friday.
Dr. Lisa Kohler, the Summit County medical examiner, said it was impossible for her office to say which bullet killed Walker or the number of shots that were fired.
Walker "had several very devastating injuries that would cause death," including injuries to his heart, lungs and arteries, Kohler said. She tallied 41 entry wounds and five wounds from bullets that grazed Walker.
Preliminary findings released earlier indicated Walker´s body had more than 60 wounds. Greta Johnson, Summit County communications director, said Friday it was "very possible" that one bullet could cause multiple entrance wounds, such as by passing through Walker's arm and into his torso.
Walker had five wounds in his back, but it's impossible to say whether those came as he ran away or turned as he was being shot, Kohler said.

6 people die after storm causes Montana highway pileup
Six people have died after a dust storm fueled by wind gusts topping 60 mph caused a pileup Friday evening on Interstate 90 in Montana, authorities said.
Twenty-one vehicles crashed and Montana Highway Patrol Sgt. Jay Nelson said authorities believe the weather was the cause.
"It appears as though there was heavy winds, causing a dust storm with zero visibility," he said.
While the highway patrol did not have an immediate count of the number of injuries, Nelson said additional ambulances had to be called in from Billings to help.
Gov. Greg Gianforte said on Twitter: "I´m deeply saddened by the news of a mass casualty crash near Hardin. Please join me in prayer to lift up the victims and their loved ones. We´re grateful to our first responders for their service."

House votes to restore abortion rights, Senate odds dim
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House has voted to restore abortion rights nationwide in Democrats' first legislative response to the Supreme Court´s landmark decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
The bill has little chance of becoming law, with the necessary support lacking in the 50-50 Senate. Yet voting marks the beginning of a new era in the debate as lawmakers, governors and legislatures grapple with the impact of the court's decision.
The legislation passed 219-210. The House also passed a second bill to prohibit punishment for a woman or child who decides to travel to another state to get an abortion, 223-205.
"Just three weeks ago the Supreme Court took a wrecking ball to the fundamental rights by overturning Roe v. Wade," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ahead of the votes, gathering with other Democratic women on the steps of the Capitol. "It is outrageous that 50 years later, women must again fight for our most basic rights against an extremist court."
Republicans spoke forcefully against the two bills, praising the Supreme Court´s decision and warning that the legislation would go further than Roe ever did when it comes to legalizing abortion.

Mexico captures infamous drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Infamous drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who was behind the killing of a U.S. DEA agent in 1985, was captured Friday by Mexican forces nearly a decade after walking out of a Mexican prison and returning to drug trafficking, Mexico's navy said.
Caro Quintero was arrested after a search dog named "Max" found him hiding in brush in the town of San Simon in Sinaloa state during a joint operation by the navy and Attorney General's Office, a navy statement said. The site was in the mountains near Sinaloa's border with the northern border state of Chihuahua.
Mexico´s national arrest registry listed the time of Caro Quintero´s arrest as around midday. There were two pending arrest orders for him as well as an extradition request from the U.S. government.
Mexico's Attorney General's Office said in a statement late Friday that Caro Quintero was arrested for extradition and would be held at the maximum security Altiplano prison about 50 miles west of Mexico City.
A very short video segment released by the navy showed Caro Quintero - his face blurred - dressed in jeans, a soaking wet blue shirt and baggy khaki jacket held by both arms by men wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying assault rifles.

US officials: States getting more monkeypox vaccine soon
NEW YORK (AP) - More than 100,000 monkeypox vaccine doses are being sent to states in the next few days, and several million more are on order in the months ahead, U.S. health officials said Friday.
They also acknowledged the vaccine supply hasn't kept up with the demand seen in New York, California and other places.
Officials predicted cases will keep rising for at least a few more weeks as the government tries to keep up with a surprising international outbreak accounting for hundreds of newly reported cases every day.
Some public health experts have begun to wonder if the outbreak is becoming widespread enough that monkeypox will become an entrenched sexually transmitted disease.
"All of our work right now is to prevent that from happening," said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

5-letter word for fun? Hasbro, NYT create Wordle board game
The company that makes some of the world's most iconic board games including Scrabble, Monopoly, and Clue is developing a new one based on Wordle, the obsessively popular digital word-guessing game.
Hasbro Inc. and The New York Times - which purchased Wordle earlier this year - announced Thursday that Wordle: The Party Game will be available for purchase in North America in October, with preorders already being accepted.
"Since Wordle burst onto the scene, it´s undoubtedly been a staple in social and pop culture vocabulary," Adam Biehl, Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based Hasbro's general manager of gaming said in a statement. "We´re beyond thrilled to work with New York Times Games to bring our gaming worlds together and extend Wordle in new ways."
In the free online version, players get six tries to guess a five-letter word with only the previous guess providing clues.
The appeal is its ease of play. Start by typing in a five-letter word. If a square turns green, it's the right letter in the right place. If it turns yellow, the letter is in the word but in the incorrect spot. Gray squares mean the letters are not in that day's word.

Tiger Woods gets emotional sendoff from St. Andrews
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) - Tiger Woods removed his cap a few strides from Swilcan Bridge, knowing Friday might be the last time he crossed over in a British Open at St. Andrews.
This is where the legends pause, pose and wave goodbye.
"Stop! Stop!" a few photographers cried out as they positioned themselves for another historic moment at the home of golf.
Woods kept right on walking, even as tears began to form in his eyes.
"That´s when I started to realize - that´s when I started thinking about - the next time it comes around here, I might not be around," Woods said. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11019563/AP-News-Brief-12-04-m-EDT.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-16T05:18:56Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11019563/AP-News-Brief-12-04-m-EDT.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 3 |

Resolution proposals
Item 1: Election of chairman of the meeting
The board of directors proposes that attorney Ola Grahn is elected as chairman of the meeting.
Item 6: Resolution on (A) employee option program; and (B) directed issue of warrants and approval of transfer of warrants.
The board of directors of Saniona AB (the "Company”), proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to adopt an employee option program for the CEO and the CFO in accordance with what is set out under A below.
The purpose of the proposed employee option program (the "Employee Option Program 2022”) is to secure a long-term commitment for the CEO and the CFO through a compensation system which is linked to the Company’s future value growth. Through the implementation of a share based incentive program, the future value growth in the Company is encouraged, which implies common interests and goals for the shareholders of the Company and the participants. Such share based incentive program is also expected to increase the Company’s possibilities to retain competent persons. Further details of the Employee Option Program 2022 are set out under Section A below.
In order to secure the Company’s undertakings under the Employee Option Program 2022, the board of directors also proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves on a directed issue of warrants and an approval of transfer of warrants in accordance with Section B below.
A. The board of directors’ proposal on implementation of Employee Option Program 2022
The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to implement the Employee Option Program 2022 in accordance with the following substantial guidelines:
1. The Employee Option Program 2022 shall comprise a maximum of 2,129,821 options.
2. Each employee option entitles the holders a right to acquire one new share in the Company against cash consideration at an exercise price amounting to 130 per cent of the volume weighted average share price of the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the 10 trading days immediately prior to the extraordinary general meeting on 18 August 2022. The thus calculated exercise price shall be rounded to the nearest whole öre, whereupon 0.5 öre shall be rounded upwards. The exercise price can however not be lower than the share’s quotient value. The exercise price and the number of shares that each option entitles right to may be subject to recalculation in the event of a bonus issue, split, rights issue etc., wherein the recalculation terms in the complete terms and conditions of the warrants shall be applied.
3. The Employee Option Program 2022 shall comprise the CEO and the CFO. The CEO shall be allotted 1,661,928 employee options and the CFO shall be allotted 467,893 employee options.
4. Allotment shall take place no later than 31 December 2022.
5. The allotted employee options will vest with 1/3 each on the date that falls 12, 24 and 36 months, respectively, following the date of allotment. If the number of allotted employee options is not evenly divisible with 1/3, the number of vested employee options shall be rounded downwards to the nearest whole number and any excess employee options shall be considered vested on the last vesting date.
6. Vesting is conditional upon that the participant continues to be employed within the Saniona group (the "Group”) and has not terminated the employment as of the date when the respective vesting occurs. If the participant ceases to be employed or terminates its employment within the Group before a vesting date, the already vested employee options may be exercised on the ordinary date of exercise in accordance with the below, but further vesting will not occur. However, if the participant's employment is terminated due to dismissal or due to personal reasons/breach of contract, vested employee options shall also lapse.
7. The employee options shall not constitute securities and shall not be possible to transfer or pledge. However, in the event of death, the rights to vested employee options shall accrue to the beneficiaries of the holder of the employee options.
8. The employee options shall be allotted without consideration.
9. The holders can exercise allotted and vested employee options during the period starting on the date that falls 3 years after the allotment date and ending on 31 December 2028. The board of directors has the right to limit the number of occasions during the exercise period when the employee options can be exercised
10. In the event of a public take-over offer, asset sale, liquidation, merger or any other such transaction affecting the Company, the employee options will vest in their entirety and be exercisable in connection with the relevant transaction.
11. Participation in Employee Option Program 2022 is conditional upon that such participation can legally take place, and that such participation in the Company’s assessment can take place with reasonable administrative costs and financial efforts.
12. The employee options shall be governed by separate agreements with the participants. The board of directors shall be responsible for the preparation and management of Employee Option Program 2022 in accordance with the above-mentioned substantial terms and guidelines.
B. Proposal to resolution on directed issue of warrants and approval of transfer of warrants
In order to enable the Company’s delivery of shares under the Employee Option Program 2022, the board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves on a directed issue of warrants and approval of transfer of warrants. The board of directors thus proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves on a directed issue of warrants in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
1. A maximum of 2,129,821 warrants shall be issued.
2. With deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the warrants may only be subscribed for by the Company or a subsidiary in the Group. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the warrants are issued as part of the implementation of the Employee Option Program 2022. In the light of what has been stated above, the board of directors considers that it is for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders that employees are offered to participate in the Employee Option Program 2022.
3. Subscription shall be made no later than 31 December 2022.
4. Over subscription cannot occur.
5. The warrants shall be issued without consideration. The reason hereof is due to that the warrants shall be issued as part of the implementation of the Employee Option Program 2022.
6. The warrants and the exercise of the subscription rights are subject to the terms and conditions for the warrants 2022/2028 (the "Warrant Terms and Conditions”). The Warrant Terms and Conditions state among others:
(a) that each warrant entitles to subscription of one share in the Company at a subscription price amounting to 130 per cent of the volume weighted average share price of the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the 10 trading days immediately prior to the extraordinary general meeting on 18 August 2022. The thus calculated subscription price shall be rounded to the nearest whole öre, whereupon 0.5 öre shall be rounded upwards. The subscription price can however not be lower than the share’s quotient value and the part of the subscription price exceeding the share’s quotient value shall be added to the free share premium reserve;
(b) that subscription of shares by virtue of the warrants may be made from registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office up to and including 31 December 2028;
(c) that the subscription price and the number of shares that each warrant entitles right to subscribe for are subject to customary recalculation in connection with a split-up or consolidation of shares, rights issues and similar events;
(d) that the period when the subscription right may be utilized may be brought forward or postponed; and
(e) that the shares issued upon utilization of a warrant shall confer right to dividends from the first record date for dividends that occurs following effectuation of the subscription to such extent that the share has been recorded as an interim share in the Company’s share ledger.
7. If all warrants are exercised for subscription of new shares, the share capital will increase with SEK 106,491.05.
8. The chairman of the Company’s board of directors shall be entitled to make such minor adjustments of the issue resolution that might be necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
Further, the board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting shall resolve to approve that the Company or another company in the Group, may transfer warrants to the participants in the Employee Option Program 2022 (or to a financial intermediary assisting with the delivery of shares to participants in Employee Option Program 2022) without consideration in connection with the exercise of employee options in accordance with the terms and conditions under Section A above.
Other information in relation to Employee Option Program 2022
The Employee Option Program 2022 will be accounted for in accordance with "IFRS 2 – Share based payments”. IFRS 2 stipulates that the options shall be expensed as personnel costs over the vesting period and will be accounted for directly against equity. Personnel costs in accordance with IFRS 2 do not affect the Company’s cash flow. The board of directors has made the assessment that the Employee Option Program 2022 will not trigger any social costs for the Company.
The employee options do not have a market value since they are not transferable. However, the board of directors has calculated a theoretical value of the employee options using the "Black Scholes” formula. Assuming that all options are allotted and assuming a share price at the time of allotment of the options of SEK 5.03, a strike price of SEK 6.54, a volatility of 113 per cent, a risk free interest of 1.6 per cent and that 100 per cent of the employee options are vested, the value of an employee option has been calculated to SEK 3.95 and the total personnel cost for the Employee Option Program 2022 in accordance with IFRS 2 is estimated to be approximately SEK 8.4 million before tax during the period 2022–2025. Under the same conditions, but assuming that only 50 per cent of the employee options are vested, the total personnel cost for the Employee Option Program 2022 in accordance with IFRS 2 is estimated to approximately SEK 4.2 million before tax during the same period.
It shall be noted that the calculations are based on preliminary assumptions and are only intended to provide an illustration of the outcome.
As per the date hereof, the number of shares in the Company amounts to 62,385,677.
In case all warrants issued in relation to Employee Option Program 2022 are exercised for subscription of new shares, a total of 2,129,821 new shares will be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 3.30 per cent of the Company’s share capital and votes after full dilution, calculated on the number of shares that will be added upon full exercise of all warrants issued in relation to Employee Option Program 2022. The dilution would have meant that the key figure earnings per share for the full year 2021 had changed from SEK -6.59 to – SEK -6.37.
The Company currently has several outstanding option programs. For a description of these programs, please see note 12 in the annual report for 2021 as well as note 5 in the interim report for the period January – March 2022. As a result of terminations of employees during March and April 2022, certain options previously granted have forfeited after 31 March 2022. As of 31 July 2022, options entitling to subscription of in the aggregate 1,961,614 new shares will be outstanding in the previous programs.
In case all warrants issued in relation to Employee Option Program 2022 as well as all warrants issued in relation to options in existing incentive programs that will still be outstanding as of 31 July 2022 are exercised for subscription of new shares, a total of 4,091,435 new shares will be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 6.15 per cent of the Company’s share capital and votes after full dilution, calculated on the number of shares that will be added upon full exercise of all outstanding and proposed warrants.
The above calculations regarding dilution and impact on key ratios are subject to recalculation of the warrants in accordance with the customary recalculation terms set out in the complete terms and conditions for the warrants.
The resolutions in accordance with Section A and B above shall be resolved upon as one resolution. The resolutions are subject to the provisions in Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act. A valid resolution requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the general meeting.

Actress Juhi Parmar, who became a household name with ‘Kumkum’ is still remembered and brings back nostalgia for many who loved seeing her in the avatar.
The show completed 20 years recently. In its time, Kumkum was one of the most iconic shows of television, particularly in the afternoon slot.
Juhi shares: “My audience know me by my name because of the varied work I have done but even now when I meet people they tell me they loved seeing me as Kumkum. I got teary eyed today as I wrote something on my social media to my digital family and I still get goosebumps when I think about Kumkum.”
“For me the show, the characters and everything about it is beautiful. In fact I still say that it was one of the most progressive shows Indian television has seen, the remarriage of a widow and so many other aspects which are usually considered taboo in our society!”
The Hussain Kuwajerwal- and Juhi Parmar-starrer show aired from July 15, 2002 to March 13, 2009 on Star Plus. It is being reaired now on the same channel.
When asked about her camaraderie with Hussain, she says: “Oh we are like Tom and Jerry! He was a fabulous co-star and someone who is a treat to work with. We would always be joking around when we were working and that’s what made work fun!”
Juhi has been a single parent to her 9 year old daughter, Samairra and her content with her daughter on social media is loved by fans.
Juhi also talks about her comeback on screen: “Soon! There are a lot of offers that keep coming in but I take my time because I want to take up something that truly challenges me! Being away from my child and going on sets and having less time with her is never easy and hence unless it’s something that really excites me as an actor, I wouldn’t jump on the bandwagon.”

After a well received tribute show honouring the legacy of Bob Dylan on his 80th birthday last year, the same group of Dylan aficionados will reconvene at The Victoria Bathurst this month to perform one of the musician's classic albums in full.
'The Tombstone Blues Band' will perform Dylan's legendary 1965 record Highway 61 Revisited, an album that saw the proud Minnesotan go completely electric for the first time after his early acoustic folk releases.

The band comprises of local musicians Bill Browne, Kris Schubert, Chloe and Jason Roweth, Roger Hargraves, Jason Neville, Mark Adams and Jim Driscoll.
Out of Dylan's records, Mr Roweth said Highway 61 Revisited is the one he's always wanted to bring to life on stage.
"It's a really big record for me, being such a Dylan tragic, and it's one of those collections of music where you see the creative process evolving like a lightning storm," he said.
"Not only was this the first Dylan record I ever heard, but it inspired me to capture that 'lightning in a bottle' regarding my own original music."
Highway 61 Revisited features some of Dylan's best known classics, such as 'Like a Rolling Stone' and the title track, as well as 'Tombstone Blues' [the inspiration for the group's name], 'Ballad of a Thin Man' and the 11-minute closer, 'Desolation Row'.
Mr Roweth said the record captures Dylan in the midst of his most prolific songwriting era, with Highway 61 Revisited being his sixth record in four years.
"It's a miracle Dylan survived the 1960s considering how hard he pushed himself to release music and tour throughout the decade," he said.
"While it's incredibly hard to single out Dylan's greatest record, as all of them are largely different, if I had to put a blast of his music at the top, Highway 61 Revisited would be it."
With the same band from last year reassembling for the event, Mr Roweth said the groups hopes to build upon the previous show with a renewed Dylan experience.
"Not only are we getting two nights to explore the material, but we're building on something that was really special last time," he said.
"The dates we have for these shows [July 21 and 22] puts it roughly around the anniversary of Dylan's infamous 1965 show at the Newport Folk Festival, where he received as many 'boos' as cheers for his 'electric' set, so we hope no one 'swings the axe' like Pete Seeger allegedly did."
Highway 61 Revisited will be performed by The Tombstone Blues Band on July 21 and 22 at The Victoria Bathurst, with doors opening at 6pm for both shows.
Tickets cost $25 and are available from the Facebook event page.

Taapsee Pannu is on cloud nine ever since she bagged her first film opposite Shah Rukh Khan and with Rajkumar Hirani. Dunki is a special film for her and she has no qualms about going big about how it took her years to get a film of such stature. In an exclusive interview with India.com and the entire Zee group, Taapsee talked about considering Dunki a big stepping stone in her career. When asked if she looks at Dunki as a big achievement, Taapsee said, “Yes, I see this as an achievement. I didn’t see it coming in my career. I never thought it would come to me just like that. Mere paas koi recommendation vale log nahi hai. Na hi mere paas access hai itna to all these stalwarts there. And thankfully, Raju sir had seen a couple of my films.” The actor, who is all set with her latest film – Shabaash Mithu, a biopic on Indian cricketer Mithali Raj, added that the biggest takeaway from this entire journey of Dunki is that she has got the film solely on a merit basis. “The first thing that I’ll remember from this journey is that I got this film through my work and not because someone made a recommendation call or because I knew someone. So, that is my first happy moment. It takes time. It took me 10 years for this to happen but it ultimately happened. You keep doing good work and things will fall in place one day,” she said. Taapsee has always been vocal about her struggles in the industry, and how she made difficult choices without any prior support in the film world. The actress is considered a fearless performer on-screen and she has proven the same with her performances in films including Pink, Mulk, Naam Shabana, Thappad and Badla among others. She wears a blue jersey once again in Shabaash Mithu. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/967144/taapsee-on-taking-10-years-to-work-with-shahrukh-khan/ | 2022-07-16T05:37:32Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/967144/taapsee-on-taking-10-years-to-work-with-shahrukh-khan/ | false | 1 |

A 51-year-old paedophile was lured to an address when he attempted to groom a teenage girl for sex.
Darren Johnstone, 51, of Humber Street, Cleethorpes admitted to attempting to engage in sexual communication with teenage girls and pretended to be a 20-year-old. He was interviewed by police for offences in 2018 and while under investigation he repeatedly tried to engage in sexual communication with more girls in 2020.
Grimsby Crown Court heard Johnstone, who worked as a chef at St James' Hotel in Grimsby for nearly 30 years, did not realise the girls were decoys used by a paedophile hunter group called Elite Team. Michele Stuart-Lofthouse said the defendant was still under investigation for the 2018 offences when he was again arrested in 2020.
She said he had "learning difficulties and low-level intelligence." Johnstone also admitted possessing indecent images of children on his phone after it was seized on his initial arrest.
She said a "decoy teenager" was set up by the paedophile hunter group who created a dating app. Despite being told by the decoy teenager she was 14 years old, Johnstone sent a total of 605 messages, mostly of a sexual nature.
He also sent images of his private area. Ms Stuart-Lofthouse said: "The images were extremely sexual." The decoy agreed to meet him in Brisbane Street, Hull, where the paedophile gang waited for him.
He was arrested by police, who seized a quantity of condoms, Haribo sweets and £300 cash. The prosecutor said he could not offer an explanation for his behaviour, but admitted sending images.
"He said he had never had sexual relations or a girlfriend and had never spoken to a girl the way he did. He admitted talking to the 14-year-old girl and asking for sex," the prosecutor said.
While committing the second set of offences in 2020, Johnstone had described himself to a 13 year old girl, as a 20-year-old man. There were four separate occasions in which he sent images to the girls, which were in fact, decoys, used by the child protection group.
For Johnstone, Gordon Stables said: "The court is not dealing with a fully-functioning adult. The level of understanding is not there."
He said his client had attended a special school and when he was 16 years old took up a work placement at St James' Hotel. He said: "They knew his limitations and he remained there for nearly 30 years."
He submitted psychiatric doctors reports which highlighted the defendant's "borderline understanding." Mr Stables said: "He could not understand that these decoys did not exist." He added the client thought he had been discharged following the first offences.
Recorder Alex Menary said it was "an exceptional case" and he was guided by the psychiatric reports on the level of Johnstone's intelligence. He said three years in prison would not provide adequate safety from the risk he posed.
He imposed a two-year community order in which he will attend 43 days of sex offender management and 55 rehabilitation days. He imposed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order to limit his access to the internet and ban any contact with children.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) — A crash near Norwood and Main avenues left a 16-year-old dead Friday night, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.
According to Sacramento police, the car that crashed had been leading officers on a high-speed chase. Police said the car was going at least 100 mph while on the freeway.
Officers, at one point, lost sight of the car, the sheriff’s office said. The car was later found by sheriff’s deputies.
The deputies reportedly tried to pull the car over, but it refused to stop and the chase continued. The car then crashed.
According to the sheriff’s office, a 16-year-old was killed in the crash. Authorities had previously said one person was taken to the hospital, but it’s unclear if that was the 16-year-old or a passenger in the car.
The sheriff’s office also could not confirm how many people were in the car or if the teen who died was a passenger or bystander.
No other cars were involved in the crash.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office will be investigating, and residents are asked to avoid the area. | https://fox40.com/news/local-news/car-chase-in-sacramento-ends-in-crash-at-norwood-main-avenues/ | 2022-07-16T06:06:58Z | https://fox40.com/news/local-news/car-chase-in-sacramento-ends-in-crash-at-norwood-main-avenues/ | true | 1 |

White House: Russian officials visited Iran to view drones
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — The White House says Russian officials have visited an airfield in central Iran at least twice in recent weeks to view weapons-capable drones it is looking to acquire for use in its ongoing war in Ukraine.
The administration released the intelligence as President Joe Biden gets set to meet on Saturday with leaders of six Arab Gulf countries, plus Egypt, Jordan and Iraq for a regional summit. Biden is expected to lay out his “major statement” explaining his vision for the Middle East as he closes out of the final leg of a four-day trip meant to bolster U.S. positioning and knit the region together against Iran.
Iran showcased the drones for Russian officials at Kashan Airfield on June 8 and July 15, according to the White House. The administration also released satellite imagery of Shahed-191 and Shahed-129 drones being displayed and in flight on the airfield, while a Russian delegation transport plane was on the ground.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan in a statement said the administration has “information that the Iranian government is preparing to provide Russia with several hundred UAVs.”
“We assess an official Russian delegation recently received a showcase of Iranian attack-capable UAVs. We are releasing these images captured in June showing Iranian UAVs that the Russian government delegation saw that day,” Sullivan added in a statement. “This suggests ongoing Russian interest in acquiring Iranian attack-capable UAVs.”
Sullivan said U.S. officials believe the June visit “was the first time a Russian delegation has visited this airfield for such a showcase.”
Biden is looking to strengthen coordination among Middle East allies’ response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and what the ongoing conflict means to the region. Many of the Gulf nations—Saudi Arabia, in particular—have grave concerns about Iran’s malign activity in the region.
None of the countries represented at the summit have moved in lockstep with the U.S. to sanction Russia, a key foreign policy priority for the Biden administration. If anything, the UAE has emerged as a sort of financial haven for Russian billionaires and their multimillion-dollar yachts. Egypt remains open to Russian tourists.
The U.S. intelligence assessment was first reported by CNN.

Outset and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On May 5, 2022, the Company disclosed negative results for 1Q2022, which, among other things, analysts attributed to the untested nature of Tablo, its flagship product which is a dialysis machine that purifies tap water and then artificially purifies and removes toxins from the blood of patients suffering from kidney failure. On this news, shares of Outset fell more than 40% over the three trading days that followed, from a closing price of $39.94 per share on May 4, 2022, to a closing price of $23.06 per share on May 9, 2022.
Then, on June 13, 2022, the Company disclosed a hold on all shipments of Tablo for home use by the FDA until proper regulatory clearance was received. The Company subsequently disclosed that the "ship hold" had been in place for weeks before investors were informed and that as a result of the hold, the Company was "suspending our prior full-year and long-term guidance.". On this news, shares of Outset fell another 33%, from a closing price of $20.41 per share on June 13, 2022, to a closing price of $13.46 per share on June 14, 2022.
The case is Plymouth County Retirement Association v. Outset Medical, Inc., 22-cv-04016.

EUGENE, Ore. – For 10.10 seconds, Ferdinand Omanyala forgot all about the visa issues that almost kept him home, the jet lag from an international flight and his mad dash from the airport to the track just to make it to the starting line in time.
Once the Kenyan sprinter crossed the finish line, though, the exhaustion hit him hard.
Next stop: bed.
But at least Omanyala can sleep easy Friday night knowing this — he has moved on to the semifinal round of the 100 meters at the world championships.
“I never knew I was tired until I ran that race," said Omanyala, who advanced on a night when Fred Kerley turned in the fastest time at 9.79 seconds. “It was disappointing (the visa issues). But you have to put the challenges aside. You have to come here and run.”
It was a race just to make it to his race due to a delay in securing his visa. He was actually resigned to sitting this one out.
But his paperwork was approved at the final hour and his team quickly scrambled to book a flight. It was quite a trek, too — flights from Nairobi to Doha, then to Seattle, and finally to Eugene and one last ride to Hayward Field. All in all, he spent about 20 hours on planes. That doesn't include the layovers.
He did receive an upgrade — to business class. That made sleep a little easier. No running down the aisles, though, as a way to warm up. He drank plenty of water.
Omanyala arrived at the track about two hours before his 100 race. He was placed in the seventh of seven heats, buying him some extra time to stretch out. He finished third in his heat, which was good enough to move him through to the semis.
“It’s tiring and it’s a torture, too, mentally,” Omanyala said of his ordeal. “If you’re not strong enough, you will crumble."
This is hardly the typical routine for Omanyala, who likes to arrive about three or four days before an event.
“This was just different,” he said. "This was a first. I’ve never had such a situation before.”
His case was one of about 375 that had been flagged to local organizers, World Athletics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. World Athletics officials said that of the 5,500 participants and officials coming to Eugene, fewer than 1% still had visa issues on the eve of the championships.
That's far too many in Omanyala's eyes. He's hoping visa issues aren't a holdup when the next major meet comes to America — the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
“They need to learn from this and do it better next time,” he said.
His rivals were certainly impressed with his quick turnaround. It's a risk-reward proposition, too. Long plane rides and not enough water are a combination for pulling a hamstring. American Marvin Bracy, who won the first heat, had a similar situation develop before a Diamond League race in Europe. He opted not to go.
“Because we know how dangerous that can be,” Bracy said. “To come out here and compete at that high of a level, it's kind of scary.”
Omanyala did receive a lift from the applause at Hayward Field.
“It’s nice when you see so many fans cheering you on,” said Omanyala, whose season-best time is 9.85 seconds. “I felt elevated for sure.”
As he chatted in the mixed zone, a Netherlands sprinter sauntered past him and simply: “Hero.”
A tired one at that.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese leader Xi Jinping visited the northwestern Xinjiang region this week amid concerns over China’s detention of a million or more members of primarily Muslim ethnic native minorities.
Xi called Xinjiang a “core area and a hub” in China’s program of building ports, railways and power stations connecting it to economies reaching from Central Asia to Eastern Europe, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Thursday.
Under Xi, authorities have carried out a sweeping crackdown on Xinjiang’s native Uygur and Kazakh communities following an outburst of deadly separatist violence.
Critics have described the crackdown that placed thousands in prison-like indoctrination camps as cultural genocide. The U.S. and others have placed officials responsible under visa bans for their part in extra-legal detentions, separation of families and incarcerating people for studying abroad or having foreign contacts.
Xi met with leaders of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a supra-governmental body that operates its own courts, schools and health system under the military system imposed on the region after the Communist Party’s rise to power in 1949.
Xi “learned about the history of the XPCC in cultivating and guarding the frontier areas,” Xinhua reported.
Xinjiang borders Russia, Afghanistan and volatile Central Asia, which China has sought to draw within its orbit through economic incentives and security alliances. | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/international-news/china-leader-xi-visits-xinjiang-amid-human-rights-concerns/ | 2022-07-16T06:18:18Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/international-news/china-leader-xi-visits-xinjiang-amid-human-rights-concerns/ | false | 46 |
Dunkin’® Iced Coffee Day Raises $10K for Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt
Dunkin’® Iced Coffee Day raises $1.8 Million nationwide to support children’s hospitals through the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation®
This past May, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation® called on America to sip from their hearts on Dunkin’® Iced Coffee Day and help bring joy to kids in local hospitals across the country. Today, Dunkin’ of Nashville proudly presented Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt with a check for $10,000 through the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. Thanks to support from guests nationwide, Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day collectively raised $1.8 Million to support kids in children’s hospitals throughout the country.
As part of the program in May, Dunkin’ invited guests to have their iced coffee work double duty to both fuel their “go” and bring joy to kids battling illness in their communities. On May 25, $1 from every iced coffee purchased at participating Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide supported the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation’s mission to bring joy to kids battling illness. Thanks to the generosity of Dunkin’ franchisees across the country, 100 percent of the funds raised will be granted locally to children’s hospitals in their respective communities.
“When children are faced with extreme hardship like battling a severe illness, it robs them of the joys of childhood,” said Dave Baumgartner, Dunkin’ Franchisee and Joy in Childhood Foundation Board Member. “It was amazing to see the outpouring of support from our guests to help make a difference for these kids. As Dunkin’ franchisees, it is so important for us to give back to the communities we serve and show them we are here to keep them running beyond their daily Dunkin’ run. We are thrilled to support our local hospital partners throughout the country and help them create joyful experiences that allow their patients to still be kids.”
Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt is one of the nation’s leading children’s hospitals. With more than 500 physicians trained in 30 pediatric and surgical specialties, the hospital’s staff is equipped to handle any issue a child may face—from the simple to the complex.
Funds from the Iced Coffee Day program will support Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt’s Child Life team to help children and family members cope with medical experiences and hospitalization. The Certified Child Life Specialists are trained in child development and understand the unique needs of children, teens, and families in the hospital. Through play and education, Child Life Specialists work with the health care team to create a friendly and comfortable environment for patients.
“Each day, our Child Life team works to create a positive healthcare experience for patients and their families,” said Janet Cross, MEd, senior director of Patient-and Family-Centered Care at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. “This generous gift from Dunkin’ will help us continue to expand Child Life services at Children’s Hospital, making a difference for even more patients who need us.”
Since its inception in 2006, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation has granted more than $37 million to national and local nonprofits. In 2021, the Foundation awarded 171 grants to hospitals and other nonprofits to help bring joy to kids battling illness.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Jayland Walker, the 25-year-old Black man who died last month at the hands of police in Akron, Ohio, was shot dozens of times, with 26 bullets recovered from his body, according to a preliminary autopsy report released Friday.
Dr. Lisa Kohler, the Summit County medical examiner, said it was impossible for her office to say which bullet killed Walker or the number of shots that were fired.
Walker “had several very devastating injuries that would cause death,” including injuries to his heart, lungs and arteries, Kohler said. She tallied 41 entry wounds and five wounds from bullets that grazed Walker.
Preliminary findings released earlier indicated Walker’s body had more than 60 wounds. Greta Johnson, Summit County communications director, said Friday it was “very possible” that one bullet could cause multiple entrance wounds, such as by passing through Walker’s arm and into his torso.
Walker had five wounds in his back, but it’s impossible to say whether those came as he ran away or turned as he was being shot, Kohler said.
The medical examiner gave a summary of the report on Walker’s death at a news conference. The report was finalized Thursday.
The June 27 pursuit began when officers tried to pull him over for equipment violations. Authorities say Walker fired a gunshot from his car 40 seconds into the chase.
Kohler said no illegal drugs or alcohol were detected in Walker’s body.
Ken Abbarno, a lawyer representing Walker’s family, said the medical examiner’s findings confirm that Walker — unarmed — “came to a brutal, senseless death.”
Walker was remembered as a shy, kind, thoughtful man with a quiet sense of humor at his funeral Wednesday.
He had been grieving his fiancée’s recent death but his family had no indication of concern beyond that, another lawyer for his family previously said.
A message seeking comment on the autopsy findings was sent Friday to a police department spokesperson.
The update comes a day after the NAACP made a direct plea to Attorney General Merrick Garland to have the Justice Department open a federal civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting.
Akron has seen daily protests since July 3, when city officials released body camera footage from the eight officers involved. Demonstrators marched peacefully through the city on the day the footage was made public, but late that night, police in full riot gear fired a dozen tear gas canisters to disperse a handful of protesters outside the justice center.
Downtown Akron has since been under a curfew from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Police said Walker fled an attempted traffic stop for minor equipment violations and fired a shot from his car during the vehicle chase, but he wasn’t armed when officers shot him.
Police body camera footage shows Walker wearing a ski mask, jumping out the front passenger door of his still-moving car and then running into a parking lot where police opened fire. That blurry footage does not clearly show what authorities say was a threatening gesture made by Walker before he was shot.
Police chased him for about 10 seconds before officers fire from multiple directions, in a burst of shots that lasts 6 or 7 seconds.
An unloaded handgun, an ammunition clip and what appeared to be a wedding band were found on the front driver’s seat of Walker’s car, authorities said.
The officers involved are on paid leave while the state investigates the shooting. Seven of those officers are white, and one is Black. None of them has a record of discipline, substantiated complaints or fatal shootings, according to the police department.
The local police union has said the officers thought there was an immediate threat of serious harm, and that it believes their actions and the number of shots will be found justified in line with their training and protocols.
Police in neighboring New Franklin Township had tried to stop and then chased a car matching Walker’s for the same minor equipment violations less than 24 hours before the Akron chase. A supervisor there called off the pursuit when the car crossed the township’s border with Akron.

I went to the JCESA meeting wanting to give my opinion on losing ambulance services, but they had three people get up to talk, and I could not hear anything, so did not know they were done with letting people talk on that so I did not get to say what I thought. Then they had two women ask for $100,000 for something and I could not hear what they wanted the money for, and then another woman and I said we could not hear anything and no one bothered to speak louder and the commission voted to give the woman $40,000 thousand and I did not know what that was for because I could not hear them and I was on the front row. They need to get microphones. The whole thing was a waste of the public's time. | https://www.journal-news.net/journal-news/lte---suzanne-ravgiala/article_061f1a77-c591-5590-83c5-9a1c6da85514.html | 2022-07-16T06:49:47Z | https://www.journal-news.net/journal-news/lte---suzanne-ravgiala/article_061f1a77-c591-5590-83c5-9a1c6da85514.html | true | null |

Council bosses have come under fire from the chair of a leading group of arts volunteers over the cloak of secrecy he believes they have thrown over a major scheme to transform the town’s museums.
The GLaM project will see the library, Manor House Museum and the Alfred East Art Gallery refurbished and extended as part of the publicly-funded project.
An initial £4,060,000 pot was insufficient to finish the scheme, so members of the authority’s executive approved a further £75,000 from council coffers in March this year. But on Thursday (July 15) the matter was once again before executive members, this time for another £412,000 to cover the ‘worst case scenario’ overspend after it emerged the existing cash will only last until the end of this month.
At that meeting at the Corby Cube, the angered Chairman of the Friends of the Alfred East Art Gallery and the Manor House Museum David Brown gave a furious speech outlining his concerns regarding the lack of transparency and his annoyance at having to read of developments in the Northants Telegraph, rather than hearing direct from the council.
He said: “Following the release of the news that a further £400k would be required to complete the building work.. there was the predictable flurry of adverse comments on social media that did not reflect the NNC in a good light.
“Most of the comments were based on a lack of information and understanding of the nature and complexity of major capital projects. This has arisen through the almost complete lack of transparency, communication and explanation about the project through social media and the press, something that has dogged the enterprise from the start.
"This may be acceptable when the project is commercial, but in this case it must be borne in mind that it is a public project.”
Mr Brown said that the protests about felling trees, bats, the Blitz Cafe concerns and the rebranding issues could have been avoided if the public had been engaged in a ‘proper debate’.
He added: “Even special interest groups and others more closely affected by the scheme have had no substantial updates on progress, or the basis for decisions. At this critical stage in the program the NNC requires the public’s support and must address this communications issue with urgency.
"Please tell people what you are doing and why you are doing it and stop this ‘behind-closed-doors’ method of governing. I believe that your integrity as a council is very much in question.”
Cllr Anne Lee was also concerned that a decision to delegate financial issues to officers meant that the issues would ‘disappear even more from public view.’ She raised concerns about whether exhibits would be sold off or retained and how the spaces would be used.
Back in March, stakeholders expressed concerns over how the new name for the project – Cornerstone – had been decided on. They said they had not been consulted during the secretive decision making process and were heavily critical of the new name, which is shared with a right-wing group of Conservative MPs.
In reply to Mr Brown, deputy leader of NNC Helen Howell, who has responsibility for sport, leisure, culture and tourism, said she had two pages of communications that had been sent to stakeholders updating them at various stages of the scheme. She said that these groups could then share those updates with their own networks.
"We have held site visits in November and March.. but it still remains and active building site,” she said.
"The executive went up to view the site for the first time on Tuesday.
"We are trying to get the building across the line. We can’t allow the public on the site.”
Executive member Cllr Lloyd Bunday said that he was dismayed by Mr Brown’s speech and comments on social media. He said: “I get the distinct impression that if it wasn’t a swimming pool, we shouldn’t have done it. A swimming pool didn’t meet the criteria for this funding.
"This idea of Kettering, Kettering, Kettering does frustrate me. We’re North Northamptonshire and Kettering is benefiting very well out of it and for someone to question out integrity, well I’m dumbfounded quite frankly.” | https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/north-northants-council-blasted-for-complete-lack-of-transparency-over-ps45m-kettering-museums-project-3770617 | 2022-07-16T06:57:49Z | https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/north-northants-council-blasted-for-complete-lack-of-transparency-over-ps45m-kettering-museums-project-3770617 | true | 1 |
