A New COVID Wave Is Here, Raising The Risk Of Reinfections
17:24 minutes
Coronavirus is surging again in the United States. The latest sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5 are now dominant. Right now, things are feeling a little different: People who were recently sick are getting reinfected. And those who have so far evaded the virus are getting it for the first time.
A new booster based on the new omicron sub-variants is slated to roll out in the fall. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is pushing to allow people under 50 to get a second dose of the currently available booster.

This year's audit, once again, shows that new cases of sexual misconduct by priests involving minors are rare today
The cover of the US bishops' 19th annual report on the implementation of the "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People" by dioceses and eparchies, which was released on July 12. (Photo: USCCB)
The U.S. bishops' annual report on compliance with the "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People" shows that 2,930 victim survivors came forward with 3,103 allegations during the audit year of July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
The number of allegations is 1,149 less than that reported in 2020, according to the audit report released July 12 by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat of Child and Youth Protection.
"This decrease is due in large part to the resolution of allegations received as a result of lawsuits, compensation programs, and bankruptcies," said a news release accompanying the report. "Of the allegations received, 2,284 (74%) were first brought to the attention of the diocesan/eparchial representative by an attorney."
The majority of allegations received were "historical in nature," meaning the alleged victim is now an adult and the abuse happened in years or decades past. During this audit year, there 30 were new allegations.
The report is based on the audit findings of StoneBridge Business Partners, a specialty consulting firm based in Rochester, New York. Also included in the report are results of a survey on allegations conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown.
The charter was adopted in 2002 by the U.S. bishops following widespread reports of clergy abuse and has been revised several times since to adapt to changing situations surrounding the question of clergy sexual abuse of minors. It was revised in 2005, 2011 and 2018.
Of the new allegations made by current minors, six were substantiated; nine are still under investigation; nine were unsubstantiated; five could not be proven; and one was referred to the provincial of a religious order.
"This year's audit, once again, shows that new cases of sexual misconduct by priests involving minors are rare today in the Catholic Church in the United States," Los Angeles Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, USCCB president, said in a preface to the report. He added that "every offender was removed from ministry. Every allegation was reported to law enforcement."
"As we know, one allegation of abuse is too many," he said, "But my brother bishops and I remain firmly committed to maintain our vigilance in protecting children and vulnerable adults and providing compassion and outreach to victim-survivors of abuse."
"On behalf of my brother bishops, I again want to express our sorrow and apologies to every person who has suffered at the hands of someone in the church. And again, we pledge our commitment to the healing of victim survivors and to doing everything in our power to protect children and vulnerable adults."
The report shows that dioceses and eparchies provided outreach and support to 285 victim survivors and their families who reported an allegation during the audit period. Continued support was provided to 1,737 victim survivors who had reported in prior audit periods.
In 2021, the church conducted 1,964,656 background checks on clergy, employees and volunteers. In addition, over 2 million adults and over 2.4 million children and youth were trained in how to identify the warning signs of abuse and how to report those signs.
Data from CARA said the costs related to allegations for diocese and eparchies for fiscal year 2021 were: settlements, $118,516,493; other payments to victims, $13,103,280; support for offenders, $9,972,414; attorneys' fees, $45,597,100; and other costs, $6,930,931.
The grand total of costs was $194,120,218. This figure is 38% less -- or $117,860,448 less -- than the grand total of $311,980,666 for fiscal year 2020.
"Six-tenths of the payments made by dioceses and eparchies between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, were for settlements to victims (61%) and almost a quarter of the total cost is for attorney’s fees (23%)," CARA said.
Despite restrictions experienced due to the pandemic, elements included in the charter audit process conducted by StoneBridge Business Partners, were not altered:
Seventy dioceses/eparchies were visited either in person or via remote technology and data was collected from 122 others.
There were four instances of noncompliance due to the inactivity of their review boards: the Diocese of Corpus Christi, Texas; the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana; the Diocese of New Ulm, Minnesota; and the Eparchy of Newton were found noncompliant with Article 2 of the charter.
Article 2 requires they have a lay-run review board that functions as a confidential consultative body to the bishop/eparch.
Subsequent convening of the review boards of the dioceses and the eparchy brought each of them into compliance with Article 2.
Three eparchies and one diocese did not participate in the audit: the Chaldean Eparchy of St. Peter the Apostle, the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon, St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy, and the Diocese of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.
"May the Lord bless and preserve our efforts to make good on our promise to protect and pledge to heal," Suzanne Healy, who chairs the National Review Board, said in a letter to Archbishop Gomez included in the report.
She said the NRB "continues to recommend that all dioceses and eparchies participate in the audit, but also audit every single parish in their ordinances. Parishes and school audits provide the most effective evaluation tool for diocesan/eparchial safe environment efforts."
The board also "recommends examination of the efficacy of safe environment programs for both adults and children to ensure the training is working toward our promise to protect," she added.
She said the board recommends enhancing the audit process with "possible expansion of the audit scope to include measures" in Pope Francis' 2019 "motu proprio" "Vos Estis Lux Mundi" -- which established procedures for reporting allegations of sexual abuse and for holding accountable bishops, eparchs and religious superiors who protect abusers.
The process could also include, she said, a new section of the Code of Canon Law dealing with crimes and punishments in the church: "Book VI: Penal Sanctions in the Church.
The NRB suggested a voluntary "mentorship" program between eparchies that do not participate in the audit and other eparchies that do, she said, and it also proposed there be one day when parishes in every diocese offer "a liturgy of lament for victims/survivors of clergy sexual abuse and their families."
"Through the efforts of many individuals, both lay and ordained, the culture and attitudes surrounding the abuse of children has and will continue to change," Deacon Bernie Nojadera, director of the Secretariat for Child and Youth Protection, said in a letter to the archbishop in the report.
He has been blessed by the survivors he has come to know, he said, by them "sharing their stories and how they learned to cope and survive and, in some cases, thrive. I am honored and humbled to be in the presence of such holy people."
"The church will be successful in her journey toward conversion, reconciliation, healing and hope through the relationships with victims/survivors," he said.
"The healing of such experiences is a process of listening, accompaniment and atonement. ... Together, with our sisters and brothers who have been abused, we can and will weather this storm and grow in the abundant love of our Lord," the deacon said.

Chelsea sign Senegal defender Koulibaly from Napoli
>> Reuters
Published: 16 Jul 2022 01:00 PM BdST Updated: 16 Jul 2022 01:00 PM BdST
Chelsea have completed the signing of Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli on a four-year contract, the Premier League club said on Saturday.
British media reported that Chelsea paid a fee in the region of 32 million pounds ($37.93 million) for the 31-year-old, who becomes the London side's second summer signing after Raheem Sterling.
"I'm very happy to be here with this team at Chelsea," Koulibaly said in a statement. "It's a big team in the world and my dream was always to play in the Premier League.
"Chelsea came first to get me in 2016 but we didn't make it. Now when they came to me I accepted it because they really wanted me to come to the Premier League to play for them."
Chelsea lost centre backs Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen earlier in the close season, and Koulibaly's addition will come as a boost for Thomas Tuchel's side as they look to close the gap on Manchester City and Liverpool.
Koulibaly made 317 appearances for Napoli after joining from Belgian club Genk in 2014, winning two trophies and cementing his place among some of the top defenders in Italy.
He was included in the Serie A Team of the Year four times and named the league's best defender in 2018-19.
Koulibaly also spoke out against racism during his time at Napoli after he was subjected to abuse by crowds on several occasions.
"Kalidou Koulibaly is one of the world's elite defenders and we are delighted to be welcoming him to Chelsea," said new Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly.
"A great leader and an exemplary team player, Kalidou brings a wealth of experience and attributes that will benefit our squad and the club as a whole."
Chelsea, who finished third last season, are currently in the United States on a pre-season tour. They kick off the new campaign with a trip to Everton on Aug 6.

Missing limbs no obstacle for resilient turtles
GPS tracking of five turtles released from rehabilitation found no obstacle from disability for resilient animals
Rehabilitated turtles which had their front or hind limb amputated, are able to cover the same distances across the Mediterranean as fully-bodied turtles, according to a study published in science journal Xjenza.
The study was based on the GPS tracking of the amazing journeys of Tama, Carmine, Doris, Allison and Janis, five loggerhead turtles rescued in Maltese waters and rehabilitated at the Aquaculture Directorate at Fort San Luċjan.
Tama, the sole adult male and a victim of a multiple injuries caused by a propeller, was missing a front left flipper on release.
Doris and Carmine, both juveniles, were missing one of their rear flippers following severe injuries one involving entanglement in ropes and nylon. Janis, rescued with a hook in the gullet, and Alison, who was entangled in a fishing line, were not missing any flippers on release.
The turtles spent between just seven months and four years at the rehabilitation centre, depending on the severity of their injuries. Tama had spent the longest time in captivity while Alison had spent the shortest time.
The study assessed whether specimens suffering from loss of different flippers behaved differently from fully able specimens, and whether turtles who have undergone amputation of one or more of their flippers differed in the migratory routes and speeds.
The GPS tracking showed that the five turtles covered similar mean distances (11.2–22.4 km/day), despite differences in their age and physical abilities. “These results suggest that despite their physical limitations, turtles having missing limbs moved at speeds and covered distances comparable to their fully able counter parts,” the authors of the study conclude.
The study showed differences in the route taken by the different turtles.
Following their release, two of the turtles spent most of their time in the sea south of the Maltese Islands, while one (Janis) spent most of its time in the Malta-Sicily channel and North East of the Maltese Islands. Alison spent a few days in the Malta-Sicily channel, but then headed south soon after the first few weeks of tracking. Carmine headed west towards Tunis immediately after release then proceeded to the north-west of the Mediterranean towards Sardinia and continued further towards Spain.
Tama, the adult missing a front flipper and who had spent the longest time in rehabilitation, recorded a maximum travelling speed comparable to Alison, a full-bodied juvenile, and Doris, a juvenile turtle missing one of its hind flippers.
Carmine, who was also missing a rear hind flipper, recorded the highest travelling speed and registered the largest distance travelled per day over the tracking period. The maximum distance recorded for this turtle was not a one-off, as it actually travelled almost an equal distance on the day after registering the maximum distance travelled. Probably this was because the turtle was travelling in open waters where speeds achieved are much higher than those in shallow coastal waters.
All turtles in the study spent some time in shallower Tunisian and Libyan waters, which suggests that these areas are important foraging and mating grounds
The results confirmed that the rehabilitation of these five marine turtles and their return to their natural environment was a success, in particular for Tama, Carmine and Doris in spite of their long period of rehabilitation. The study was conducted by Vince Attard, Celine Ferlat and Martina Cutajar from Nature Trust and by Anthony Gruppetta from St. Simon Veterinary Practice. | https://www.maltatoday.com.mt/environment/nature/117762/missing_limbs_no_obstacle_for_resilient_turtles | 2022-07-16T08:00:17Z | https://www.maltatoday.com.mt/environment/nature/117762/missing_limbs_no_obstacle_for_resilient_turtles | true | 1 |
LGBTQ festival resumes in Seoul after 2-year hiatus
By Song Sang-ho
SEOUL, July 16 (Yonhap) -- Sexual minorities in South Korea held an annual festival in downtown Seoul on Saturday after a pandemic-driven two-year hiatus, with Christian and other conservative groups opposing the high-profile event.
The 23rd Seoul Queer Culture Festival took place at Seoul Plaza, bringing together members of the LGBTQ community -- lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer persons -- as well as their supporters and human rights activists.
Waving the rainbow flag, a symbol of LGBTQ social movements, tens of thousands of people coalesced behind their long-standing cause against discrimination, exclusion, hate speech and violence targeting sexual minorities.
Opponents also rallied to highlight their aversion to the LGBTQ festival, which they said undermined their movement to promote "wholesome sex culture." They also criticized the Seoul municipality for allowing the event to proceed.
Police beefed up security around the plaza as high-profile figures, such as new U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Philip Goldberg and other foreign diplomats, were expected to appear there.
The festival featured musical celebrations and a queer parade designed to underscore the LGBTQ community's pride and their message for human dignity and equality, organizers said.
Human rights advocacy groups and other organizations set up some 80 booths in a message of their solidarity behind the LGBTQ movement. They included Amnesty International, the Anglican Rainbow Network and the Korean Sexual Violence Relief Center.
The LGBTQ community and its supporters have held the festival every year since 2000 in various neighborhoods around the city before moving to Seoul Plaza in 2015. The festival at Seoul Plaza then continued until 2019 before switching to online events due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.
The last offline festival in 2019 drew a record crowd of about 150,000 participants.

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

Under the Czech Presidency, the Council of the EU approved Country Specific Recommendation for EU member states for 2022 and 2023
The proposal of these specific recommendations for 2022 and 2023 was presented by the European Commission (EC) on 23 May 2022 as a part of the so-called spring package issued by the EC. The spring package represents part of the annual cycle of EU economic policy coordination, the so-called European semester. During the preparation of these individual recommendations, the EC uses strategic documents submitted by the member states, such as National Reform Programme or the report on its implementation. The approval of these specific recommendations represents the conclusion of this annual cycle.
During this year the European semester focused mainly on the process of economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of the so-called Recovery and Resilience Plans. Based on the submission of these plans to the EC and their subsequent approval by the Council of the EU, member states are allowed to draw financial support from the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The Czech plan, so-called National Recovery Plan, has been already approved by the Council of the EU in September last year.
At the same time, the European semester had to respond to the ongoing war conflict in Ukraine and associated impacts on individual EU member states. The great issue of the semester has primarily become the reduction of dependence of the EU member states on the import of fossil fuels from Russia and support for sustainable energy sources usage. In this context, the EC presented on 18 May 2022 the REPowerEU initiative targeting ensuring affordable, safe and sustainable energy for Europe. In this regard the specific recommendations for 2022 and 2023 might be used by the EU member states to update their recovery and resilience plans. According to the EC proposal, the updated plans should include a new chapter presenting reforms and investments that will help meet the goals of the REPowerEU initiative.
On 12 July 2022 the following four recommendations for the Czech Republic were approved:
- In 2023, ensure that the growth of nationally financed primary current expenditure is in line with an overall neutral policy stance, taking into account continued temporary and targeted support to households and firms most vulnerable to energy price hikes and to people fleeing Ukraine. Stand ready to adjust current spending to the evolving situation. Expand public investment for the green and digital transitions, and for energy security taking into account the REPowerEU initiative, including by making use of the Recovery and Resilience Facility and other Union funds. For the period beyond 2023, pursue a fiscal policy aimed at achieving prudent medium-term fiscal positions. Take measures to ensure the long-term fiscal sustainability of public finances, including the sustainability of the pension system.
- Proceed with the implementation of its recovery and resilience plan, in line with the milestones and targets included in the Council Implementing Decision of 8 September 2021. Swiftly finalise the negotiations with the Commission on the 2021–2027 cohesion policy programming documents with a view to starting their implementation.
- Strengthen the provision of social and affordable housing, including by adopting a specific legislative framework for social housing and improved coordination between different public bodies.
- Reduce overall reliance on fossil fuels and diversify imports of fossil fuel. Accelerate the deployment of renewables, streamline permit procedures and make grid access easier. Increase the energy efficiency of district heating systems and of the building stock by incentivising deep renovations and renewable heat sources. | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/581405836/under-the-czech-presidency-the-council-of-the-eu-approved-country-specific-recommendation-for-eu-member-states-for-2022-and-2023 | 2022-07-16T08:28:46Z | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/581405836/under-the-czech-presidency-the-council-of-the-eu-approved-country-specific-recommendation-for-eu-member-states-for-2022-and-2023 | true | 1 |

Race-by-race preview and tips for Hawkesbury on Sunday
By Ray Hickson
Race 1 - 12:00PM THANK YOU HAWKESBURY SES MAIDEN PLATE (1800 METRES)
3. Count On Me has the hoof on the till for a breakthrough win after three placings on end, the latest after leading over this course. No excuses here, drawn well and handles the sting out of the track.
Dangers: 8. Pharoah’s Reign was a drifting favourite at Scone last time but didn’t have the greatest run and wasn’t disgraced beaten under three lengths. Looked to be shaping up toward a win prior to that so worth another chance. 5. Maralago has put a couple of honest runs together and stuck to the task OK when placed at Canterbury. Runner-up from that race has since won. Go well. 2. Buoyant has been a bit disappointing since a close up fresh effort. Perhaps the extra distance may suit.
How to play it: Count On Me WIN. Odds & Evens: SPLIT.
Race 2 - 12:40PM THANK YOU NSW SES CONDITIONAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP (1800 METRES)
1. Tudor Prince has gone from strength to strength this time in and was simply too tough scoring on a heavy at Canterbury. Obviously rises in weight for coming back to provincial level but will be hard to beat.
Dangers: 2. Outlook is back in class on her last few and if she can strike her best form she will be
right in the finish. First two runs this prep had you thinking a win isn’t far off so she’s certainly good
enough. 5. Viren showed improvement third up at double figure odds to run into third over a mile at
this track. Any lift in the track rating would be to his aid though his strike rate is a bigger concern. 7.
Queenmaker rebounded when back to a maiden over this course a few weeks ago. No worries on a
soft track and could hold form.
How to play it: Tudor Prince WIN; Odds & Evens: SPLIT.
Race 3 - 1:20PM THANK YOU ALL EMERGENCY SERVICES 2&3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP (1000 METRES)
9. Starspangledancer is a very interesting runner coming off a runaway 12 length trial win on her
home track last month. Didn’t look like stopping in that gallop and while has to run out 1000m she
has to go on top on that performance.
Dangers: 11. Surrenders has the race experience and hit the line strongly without threatening when runner-up over 900m at Newcastle. She’ll be better for that and the extra 100m and looms as a
threat. 12. Surreal Lily wasn’t too bad on debut at Goulburn and has been given some time since
then. Scored an easy trial win a few weeks ago, draws well and is one to keep an eye on. 5. Mr
Extreme is on debut and in his latest trial he hit the lead early in the straight and was run down near the line on synthetic. Keep an eye on betting.
How to play it: Starspangledancer WIN; Trifecta 9/5,11,12/5,11,12; Odds & Evens: ODDS.
Race 4 - 2:00PM HAWKESBURY HELPING HANDS F&M MAIDEN HANDICAP (1300 METRES)
2. Agnodice should have finished a lot closer to Flag Of Honour when he ran a much improved third
at Newcastle three weeks ago. Picked himself up nicely and hit the line and if he can run up to that
effort should go close.
Dangers: 5. Silvakia is bred to perhaps get over a bit of ground so her two trials over short trips are
encouraging. Where she gets to from the wide gate is a question mark but inclined to keep her safe.
3. Caring Lass is another first starter who should handle the ground on pedigree being by Sebring.
Two trials have been sound and draws nicely. Worth including in the chances. 1. Hecate wasn’t
fancied on debut at Canterbury and inclined to forgive on a very heavy track. Wouldn’t shock if she’s
a sharp improver.
How to play it: Agnodice WIN; Odds & Evens: SPLIT.
Race 5 - 2:40PM TAB.COM.AU CG&E MAIDEN HANDICAP (1300 METRES)
6. Star Buyer is the obvious horse to beat, he’s been beaten under half a length in both runs back
and should be at his peak now. Raced on speed last time, hit the front and was run down so coming
back 100m may help.
Dangers: 14. Ironbark Artie had some support at odds when resuming and ran right up to it with a
closing third at Scone. Runner-up has since won and he’s drawn to be a bit closer this time. Respect.
3. King Adviso tried to lead all the way second up over this course and found one better in Affidavit.
Small query on soft ground but has had little exposure so benefit of the doubt applies. Go well. 2.
Hotstep was no match for the winner on debut on a heavy 10 at Newcastle in a small field. Improved
surface likely to be a help and he’s drawn to have every chance.
How to play it: Star Buyer WIN; Trifecta 6/2,3,14/2,3,14; Odds & Evens: EVENS.
Race 6 - 3:20PM SKY RACING CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1300 METRES)
7. Beer Palace did find the right part of the track to win on debut but did it impressively at
Newcastle. Up in class and drawn wide but put a margin on them first up and could well be
promising. Hard to beat.
Dangers: 4. Carartie was a dominant maiden winner first up then up to this grade was narrowly
beaten as favourite on a good track. Suited here with the sting out and has to be strongly
considered. 6. Transplant was only beaten a length first up at Kensington in a BM72 after racing on
the speed. Fitter for that and if she handles the soft she should be very competitive. 1. Laos Fortune
is racing well and followed a heavy track placing with a fast finishing win at Gosford to break his
maiden status. Soft ground is OK for him and he could go on with it.
How to play it: Beer Palace WIN; Odds & Evens: SPLIT.
Race 7 - 4:00PM GODOLPHIN BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (1500 METRES)
1. Mihocek drops sharply in class on his last start when well supported at Rosehill but didn’t relish
the deteriorating conditions. Two runs prior in this class were sound and he should take beating in
this.
Dangers: 2. Straya Pride is also back in grade after an unplaced effort at Randwick three weeks ago.
Before that he’d won twice around this level and is entitled to another chance. 5. Duchess Adele is a
very good wet-tracker when right and she’ll be fitter for a first-up run at Kensington in a very strong
form race. Easier here and no surprise to see her run well. 4. Pool Pony hasn’t done a lot in two
starts back, failing to beat one home. Entitled to show something this time around.
How to play it: Mihocek WIN; Quinella 1 & 2; Odds & Evens: SPLIT.
Race 8 - 4:38PM RICHMOND CLUB BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP (1000 METRES)
6. Alpha One couldn’t have been more impressive when he resumed with a dominant all the way win at Newcastle last month. Form last prep was sound in good company and he should take some
catching here.
Dangers: 9. One Pose was expected to win first up at Goulburn and did it quite comfortably when
shaking off the maiden a month ago. Honest and should be around the mark again. 2. Reach For
Gold is another last start winner at Goulburn and he’s done nothing wrong in three starts to date.
Claim helps his cause and is one of the main chances. 4. Dijon has to be considered after a close
second to Reach For Gold first up. Down 3.5kg and is in the mix.
How to play it: Alpha One WIN; Trifecta 6/2,4,9/2,4,9; Odds & Evens: SPLIT.

James Webb telescope could find life-supporting planets
Scientists in Cardiff have said a new telescope will allow them to examine the universe in greater detail.
Data from the James Webb Space Telescope will mean they can study massive black holes, stars from billions of light years away and detect planets which may be inhabitable.
Six months ago the scientists sent instructions to NASA to direct where in space the telescope should capture images.
Cardiff University's Dr Subhajit Sarkar, along with Dr Nikku Madhusudhan of Cambridge University, will analyse the atmosphere of the potentially life supporting planet K2-18b, which is 124 light years away from Earth. | https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-wales-62182403 | 2022-07-16T08:34:53Z | https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-wales-62182403 | false | null |
Elder: Obama Won the Presidency Based on a Lie, But One Major Thing Has Changed Since 2008
Former President Barack Obama recently gave a speech in which he attacked the critics of identity politics.
At the Copenhagen Democracy Summit in June, he said, “I have little sympathy for reactionaries who cynically condemn identity politics or cancel culture when really all they’re doing is trying to preserve existing privilege or excuse entrenched injustice or bigotry. I mean, the original identity politics is racism and sexism and homophobia. That’s nothing if not identity politics, and it’s done a lot more harm than some tweet from an aggrieved liberal.”
“Reactionaries”?
Yes, that would be the same Obama who burst onto the national scene by giving a rafter-ringing keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic convention in which he denounced identity politics. Then-Illinois state Sen. Obama said, “There are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of ‘anything goes.’ Well, I say to them tonight, there’s not a liberal America and a conservative America — there’s the United States of America.
“There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America. The pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue states; red states for Republicans, blue states for Democrats. But I’ve got news for them, too. … We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.”
Days before he announced his race to become the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, Obama gave his first “60 Minutes” interview.
Correspondent Steve Kroft: “You think the country’s ready for a black president?”
Obama: “Yes.”
Kroft: “You don’t think it’s going to hold you back?”
Obama: “No. I think if I don’t win this race, it will be because of other factors. It’s going to be because I have not shown to the American people a vision for where the country needs to go that they can embrace.”
In a 2007 speech, presidential candidate Obama talked about the black struggle, how much had been achieved and what remained: “The previous generation, the Moses generation, pointed the way. They took us 90 percent of the way there. But we still got that 10 percent in order to cross over to the other side.”
This is the Obama the American people assumed they had hired in November 2008. Hopeful, positive, a liberal Democrat, to be sure, but a black man who could serve, at the very least, as a racial reconciler, keenly aware of how far America has come.
When he entered the Oval Office in January 2009, his approval rating approached 70 percent. An ABC News poll from the time found that 58 percent thought race relations would improve under Obama. But by October 2016, one month before the presidential election, a CNN/ORC poll found 54 percent thought race relations had worsened under Obama, including 40 percent of blacks and 57 percent of whites.
As president, Obama peddled — with little evidence — an ever-growing list of race grievances. The list included “the Cambridge police acted stupidly”; racism is “still part of our DNA that’s passed on”; “if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon [Martin]”; holding up Ferguson as a microcosm of racial strife in America; inviting race-hustling incendiary Al Sharpton to the White House over 70 times; and embracing the Black Lives Matter movement, an activist organization based on the false narrative of police “systemic racism” against blacks.
Obama rarely missed an opportunity to be the conciliator Americans thought him to be. He knows that racism has never been a less significant factor as an obstacle to American success. His very election and re-election stand as a testament to that truth.
Obama won the presidency based on a lie. He entered the presidency as an articulate, even-tempered racial unifier and left as an articulate, even-tempered racial incendiary. Today he plays the race card from his $12 million bunker in Martha’s Vineyard.

The battle to become the next leader of the Conservative Party - and Britain's next prime minister - is firmly under way, with the candidates and their supporters jostling hard for the position.
The majority of the 347 Tory MPs who are not taking part in the contest have now nailed their colours to the mast.
There are now only five candidates remaining.
The candidates faced off in a feisty TV debate on Friday night, with Rishi Sunak accusing Liz Truss of having a “fairytale” economic plan.
Mr Sunak, the former chancellor whose departure last week hastened the fall of Boris Johnson, is leading the pack with 101 backers. He is followed by Penny Mordaunt, the international trade minister and bookies' favourite, and Ms Truss, the Foreign Secretary.
As more candidates are eliminated, we can expect lots of 'horse-trading' behind the scenes, with more socially liberal 'one nation' MPs and the Right of the party likely to unite behind respective candidates.
Here, The Telegraph takes a look at who is running, their campaign platforms, and their publicly declared backers:
Rishi Sunak - 101 backers
Why he is running: The former chancellor is pitching himself to the party and members as the serious candidate on the economy, who can guide the country through a potential recession by resisting calls for tax cuts.
MPs publicly supporting him: Jeremy Hunt, Angela Richardson, Mark Harper, Jacob Young, Laura Trott, Sir Bob Neill, Mel Stride, Oliver Dowden, Paul Maynard, Liam Fox, John Glen, Mark Spencer, Claire Coutinho, Kevin Hollinrake, Robert Jenrick, Julie Marson, Bim Afolami, Louie French, Simon Jupp, Simon Hoare, Helen Whatley, Maria Caulfield, Fay Jones, Peter Gibson, Craig Williams, Robert Goodwill, James Cartlidge, Gareth Davies, Siobhan Bailie, Simon Hart, Rebecca Pow, Anthony Browne, Ruth Edwards, Greg Hands, Andrew Murrison, Gary Streeter, Laura Farris, Andrew Bowie, Alex Chalk, Victoria Prentis, Dominic Raab, Grant Shapps, Gillian Keegan, James Wild, Matt Hancock, Mark Menzies, Steve Barclay, Chris Skidmore, Stephen Crabb, Alun Cairns, Michael Ellis, Lucy Frazer, Gavin Williamson, Simon Baynes, Theresa Villiers, Robert Buckland
Odds: 15/8
Penny Mordaunt - 83 backers
Why she is running: Launching her campaign, the trade minister released a video in which she did not feature. She is seeking to put herself forward as a unity candidate who casts aside the drama of personality politics to focus on patriotic government.
MPs publicly backing her: Nicola Richards, Caroline Dineage, John Lamont, Michael Fabricant, Andrea Leadsom, Kieran Mullan, Alicia Kearns, George Freeman, James Sunderland, Duncan Baker, Caroline Ansell, Sir Charles Walker, Craig Tracey, Damian Collins, Harriet Baldwin, James Gray, Elliot Colburn, Robbie Moore, Derek Thomas, Maria Miller, Theo Clarke, Sarah Atherton, Bob Seely, Kate Griffiths, David Davis, James Davies, Bob Stewart, Alberto Costa, John Penrose, John Baron, Jerome Mayhew, Caroline Nokes, Trudy Harrison, Luke Evans, Jill Mortimer, Mike Penning
Odds: 11/10
Liz Truss - 65 backers
Why she is running: Viewed as the Right’s main challenger to Rishi Sunak, Ms Truss is marketing herself as a Thatcherite who promises tax cuts, foreign policy experience, and a track record of delivery.
She is expected to hoover up support on the centre Right, but her initial Remain credentials could put off some Brexiteers.
MPs publicly backing her: Suella Braverman, Alec Shelbrooke, Chloe Smith, Dehenna Davison, Jackie Doyle-Price, Julian Knight, Rob Butler, Dean Russell, Marcus Fysh, Darren Henry, Ranil Jayawardena, Simon Clarke, Therese Coffey, Kwasi Kwarteng, Wendy Morton, Vicky Ford, James Cleverly, Nadine Dorries, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Mark Pritchard, Paul Bristow, Brendan Clarke-Smith, Mark Francois, Iain Duncan Smith, Chris Loder, Laurence Robertson, Andrea Jenykns, Steve Baker
Odds: 3/1
Kemi Badenoch - 49 backers
Why she is running: The former equalities minister is campaigning on an anti-woke and small state platform, based on a desire to speak honestly to the public. She is billing herself as a next generation Tory and has won the support of some of the newest intake of MPs, but her lack of any Cabinet experience may hinder her success.
MPs publicly backing her: Lee Rowley, Eddie Hughes, Julia Lopez, Tom Hunt, Lee Anderson, Ben Bradley, Michael Gove, Justin Tomlinson, Gareth Bacon, Caroline Johnson, Andrew Lewer, Neil O'Brien, Lee Docherty, Alex Burghart, Nigel Mills, Lucy Allen, Marco Longhi, Sarah Dines, Rachel Maclean, Robert Courts, Tom Randall, Nick Fletcher, Steve Double
Odds: 25/1
Tom Tugendhat - 32 backers
Why he is running: The chairman of the foreign affairs committee is casting himself as a new face, with military experience, to unite the party. He is seeking to gain the support of the One Nation group of Tory MPs, which is led by his first backer, Damian Green.
MPs publicly backing him: Damian Green, John Stevenson, Caroline Nokes, Aaron Bell, Robert Largan, Stephen Hammond, Sir Robert Syms, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Mark Logan, Chris Green, Anne Marie Morris, Nickie Aiken, Damian Moore, Karen Bradley, Paul Holmes, Jake Berry, Mark Pawsey, James Daly, Neil Hudson, Jo Gideon, Ben Spencer, Simon Fell, Rehman Chishti

Tesco hikes price of bags for life by 50%
TESCO has enraged customers by hiking the cost of plastic bags for life from 20p to 30p at a time of soaring price rises.
The retailer said it wants to deter shoppers from buying the carriers and encourage them to bring their own instead.
But the move by Tesco has provoked a flood of complaints online from shoppers feeling the pinch.
One angry customer, Hugo LeSeux, fumed on Twitter: “Nice to see Tesco helping everyone out by increasing the cost of their bag for life by 10p to 30p.”
Jim Pinkston added: “It's bad enough prices are rising and cost of living is through the roof, but how can you explain a carrier bag price rising to 30p?
“It may only be 10p but on top of everything it's unacceptable and alienating!!”
Another said: “Can Tesco advise why the cost of their plastic bags has gone up from 20p to 30p, right at the point where there is a cost of living crisis, and punishing those who are poorest and do least damage to the environment, i.e. those who walk or get public transport to the supermarket?”
Consumer champion Martyn James said that increasing prices unnecessarily during the cost of living crisis was an "extremely ill-advised" move.
He said: “But with other supermarkets offering paper bags, many of the people who contact me want to know why plastic bags are being used in the first place.”
Supermarkets were ordered to charge 5p for the weaker single-use carriers in October 2015 - and last year the Government raised this levy to 10p.

Tesco doubled the price of its plastic bags to 20p back in October 2020, with the same aim of deterring shoppers from buying them.
But retailers have phased them out in favour of the more robust “bags for life”.
There is no legal requirement to charge for these reusable bags, but the prices across the supermarkets have slowly been creeping up over time to decrease sales.
Last month Sainsbury’s also raised the cost of a bag for life from 20p to 30p.
It told The Sun: “To support our plastic reduction ambitions we have updated the price of our bag for life to encourage customers to re-use them.
“Our bags are made of 100%t recycled content, are recyclable in store and we continue to donate the profits from the sales to good causes. Customers can also return their old bags to store where they be replaced for free.”
How much a bag for life costs
- Tesco - 30p
- Asda - 20p
- Sainsbury’s - 30p
- Morrisons - 60p
Sarah Coles, of investment firm Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "The price of bags for life (from Tesco) doubled to 20p in 2020, so adding another 10p in such a short space of time is clearly an effort to wean us off these bags altogether.
"Part of the problem is that because cheaper single-use bags have been phased out in so many stores, people have come to see the bag for life as single-use item."
Greenpeace figures in 2019 claimed that each household bought an average of 57 bags for life a year.
These more robust bags contain more plastic than the old-style 5p bags, Coles said.
She added: "So if people just trade one for the other, they’ll actually end up doing more damage to the environment.
"The supermarkets are under pressure to do something about it, and hiking the price is one way to get people to change the way they think about these bags."
As well as nudging up prices retailers are looking at more radical solutions.
Waitrose last year announced it was pulling its 10p bags for life to be replaced with a 50p reusable bag that it said was twice as durable.
And in June, Iceland became the first UK supermarket in the UK to launch plastic-free reusable woven bags, which it sells for £1 alongside 30p recyclable paper bags.
Meanwhile, the UK's cheapest supermarket is now the most expensive for a basket of certain groceries.
And one store claims to be the country's cheapest corner shop. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/19219715/tesco-hikes-price-bag-for-life/ | 2022-07-16T08:45:44Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/19219715/tesco-hikes-price-bag-for-life/ | true | 2 |

Editors' Picks
Arteta has now welcomed a host of international stars into his ranks on the back of summer breaks, with Thomas Partey, Bernd Leno and Folarin Balogun included in a travelling party.
Lucas Torreira is also in the squad after spending time out on loan, as is highly-rated French defender William Saliba – who has seen game time for the Gunners severely restricted so far.
The likes of Granit Xhaka, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka could all feature, but it remains to be seen whether risks will be taken on Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu as they have been nursing knocks.

THE scheming and deft moves among political actors in respect of today’s governorship election in Osun State have reached a crescendo.
As of late Friday evening, bigwigs of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), continued to map out strategies to ensure victory in the poll.
Saturday Tribune gathered on Friday that no fewer than three APC governors and four PDP governors had stayed put in the state holding meetings to shore up the chances of their candidates.
Credible sources told Saturday Tribune on Friday that in the camp of the APC, Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Dapo Abiodun and Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Lagos, Ogun and Kano states, respectively, were working round the clock with stakeholders in the party, including the party’s standardbearer, Governor Gboyega Oyetola, for the success of the party in today’s poll.
One of the sources said: “We have three APC governors on the ground here. I am very sure of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State and Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State. I cannot confirm now if Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is still around.
“We cannot afford to leave any stone unturned in ensuring victory for Governor Gboyega Oyetola and our party, the APC tomorrow (today). Though we are optimistic of victory with the prevailing variables, we still have to strategise and finetune our actions towards a successful outing.”
On the other hand, Saturday Tribune learnt that the vice presidential candidate of the PDP and governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Edo State governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State and their Sokoto State counterpart, Aminu Tambuwal, were on ground to support the governorship candidate of the opposition party, Senator Ademola Adeleke.
A former national officer of the PDP from Osun East Senatorial District told one of our correspondents in a telephone interview that “apart from the four serving governors of our party, former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, is also around.”
He said: “We are prepared for this election and the masses of Osun State are solidly behind us to oust the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola. For this election holding tomorrow, we are good to go. By the grace of the Almighty, we are going to win.”
Security tightened
Meanwhile, Osun State is under a total lockdown as election holds today to elect governor that will run the affairs of the state for the next four years.
Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of security for the poll, DIG Johnson Babatunde Kokumo, confirmed that the state had been placed under both land and aerial surveillance by security personnel by different agencies.
According to him, an earlier directive by the Inspector General of Police, Usamn Alkali Baba, for the mopping up of arms, due to the increasing activities cult groups in the state culminated in further massive security deployment to the state ahead of the election.
He underscored the heavy security deployment with the fact that no fewer than 21, 000 officers and men of the Nigerian Police were already on ground to guarantee the peaceful and crime-free exercise before and after balloting.
In 2018, a similar poll went into a rerun following the declaration of the first ballot as inconclusive by the Independent National Commission (INEC).
The commission declared the candidate of the APC, Algaji Agedegboyega Oyetola, winner against the candidate of the PDP, Senator Adeleke.
At least five DIGs, and other senior officers deployed for the purpose of the election have been joined by 11, 226 personnel of the National Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Speaking on Friday on today’s election, DIG Kokumo justified the massive security deployments, which include surveillance on the waterways on the fact that unlike Ekiti State with 16 local council areas, Osun has 30 local government areas.
The police top brass who featured on NTA Good Morning Nigeria programme monitored in Ibadan, disclosed that special law enforcement personnel would be on standby not far from polling units where they could swiftly response to distress calls and fend off persons with ulterior motive to disrupt the election.
For tactical reasons, he declined to reveal details of the plans by the law enforcement agents against the unholy practice of vote-trading, but confirmed there was synergy among all the critical stakeholders, especially the security arm and the INEC after serious engagements towards curbing vote buying and vote selling during the Osun poll.
He expatiated: “In Ekiti State, we had 16 Local Government Areas, whereas in Osun, we are having 30 local government areas. The deployment for Osun governorship election in 2022 is far higher than that of Ekiti. In osun, we have littoral community, Asejire, the boundary between Osun and Oyo states and in the coastal community, there is adequate deployment by the police marine formation.
“Before now, what we have been witnessing in Osun was increased incidence of cultism; that of course, was before the election and what the Police have been able to do was to have an anti-cultism unit that has consistently fought cultism. And before now, there was a clear directive by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba that the Osun State Police Command should embark on a mop up exercise; mopping of light weapons from circulation. This, of course, has been done and currently, we have put a security arrangement in place to ensure the border towns are adequately policed to ensure that criminal elements do not make incursions into Osun State with such dangerous weapons to be used during the election and of course, after the election.”
This is how Kokumo further explained the rationale for the heavy security presence in today’s poll in Osun: “Because of the number of local government areas, for instance, we are deploying over 21, 000 policemen and these include land deployment; deployment on the waterways and of course, deployment of our air arsenal and we have three helicopters for mission-specific surveillance.
“On the land, we have our tactically unit, SPY; we have the explosive ordinance unit; we have the conventional policemen equally and strategically deployed to the polling; “We have a total of 3,733 polling units for this Osun election. We have deployed to the polling booths. By practice, policemen are not supposed to be seen at the polling units.
“So, at a reasonable distance to the polling units, we have created armed units that can quickly respond to violent situations so that criminal elements will not have chance to attack policemen deployed to such polling units to protect both the electorate, INEC officials and election materials.”
Speaking on preparations for the election, Director of Programmes, Yiaga Africa, Cynthia Mbawalu, had listed a number of issues still begging for attention in spite of lauding INEC for the level of preparations for the poll.
She was concerned that the final data of voting population was still under works by the commission hours to the poll, days after the INEC declared that out of the 1.9 million registered voters, only 1.4 million had collected their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
Mbamalu, who also alluded to the activities of cultists in the state, raised concern about the distribution of voters to polling units, saying whereas the ratio ought to be 750 per polling unit, there are still cases of between 2000 and 3000 voting population per polling unit for the election. Other areas she raised issues include arrangements for logistics because of the big size of Osun State unlike Ekiti; need to factor in contingency plans in case transporters disappoint on the movement of materials and personnel for the election and need to provide more BVAs in places where there is imbalance in voter population. Coupled with this was what she described as the confusion arising from the inability of prospective voters to locate their names at centres, especially located in new settlements.
Head, Department of Allocation of Voters and Party Monitoring, Mr Shehu Muhammad, said there was cordial relationship between the commission and all other stakeholders and agencies on the conduct of the poll.
He confirmed that INEC had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with commercial vehicle owners and operators, as well as commercial motorcycle riders on the movement of materials and personnel during the election.
He also confirmed that the commission was as at Friday morning still compiling the final list of voters that had collected PVCs in the state. Muhammad underscored the significance of the Osun election saying it was only the last offseason one to be conducted by INEC but that it would also set the benchmark for the 2023 general election in the country.
Candidates
The election is perceived as an acid test for the integrity of the INEC and neutrality of law enforcement agencies as the poll is expected to set the benchmark, template and tone for2023 general election, thus the incredible local and international attention and engagement by stakeholders on the conduct of the poll.
A total of 13 candidates, among whom is the incumbent Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, who is seeking reelection on the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples democratic Party (PDP) and Dr Akin Ogunbiyi of the Accord. APC presidential candidate for 2023, Senator Bola Tinubu, national chairman of the party, senator Abdullahi Adamu and governors elected on the ticket of APC rallied support for Oyetola at a rally held in Osogbo on Tuesday.
Similarly, PDP standard-bearer in next year’s presidential poll, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, national chairman of the party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu and governors and other PDP chieftains were also in Osogbo on Thursday at a grand rally for the governorship bid of Adeleke.
Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi galvanised party supporters at a rally held in the Osu n State capital on Tuesday to shore up the chances of Honourable Lasun Yusuff as LP candidate in tomorrow’s poll.
Operatives of the economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are on guard following the worsening trend and culture of vote-buying during elections, widely alluded to by most observers and other concerned stakeholders, during the June 19 governorship poll in Ekiti State to checkmate vote buyers. INEC said it had relocated polling units from palaces and controversial points, as well as converted 753 polling points into polling units in the buildup to the Osun election expected to be monitored by a total of 79 observer groups, comprising 79 domestic and eight international organisations in all the 332 wards of the state.
According to INEC boss, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, out of 1,955,657 registered voters, a total of 1,479,595 voters had picked their permanent voter cards, which is about 76 per cent as at last week. | https://tribuneonlineng.com/osun-guber-poll-govs-besiege-osun-as-apc-pdp-lock-horns/ | 2022-07-16T08:50:22Z | https://tribuneonlineng.com/osun-guber-poll-govs-besiege-osun-as-apc-pdp-lock-horns/ | true | 1 |

Mo Farah’s story draws horror, understanding in Somalia
By OMAR FARUK
Associated Press
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Many Somalis are reacting with horror — and a sense of understanding — at British runner Mo Farah’s tale of being trafficked to Britain as a child and forced to look after other children. Olympic champion Farah was born in present-day Somaliland, a territory by the Gulf of Aden that has asserted independence from the Horn of Africa nation of Somalia. Here, in the Somali capital Mogadishu, those who have heard of Farah’s account express sadness for what he went through as a child forced to work in servitude. But they also point out that he is not alone. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/16/mo-farahs-story-draws-horror-understanding-in-somalia/ | 2022-07-16T09:12:14Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/16/mo-farahs-story-draws-horror-understanding-in-somalia/ | true | null |
Chelsea swoop to sign Arsenal wonderkid Hutchinson in shock transfer
Chelsea have completed the surprise signing of teenage forward Omari Hutchinson from Arsenal as they bid to boost their academy ranks. Hutchinson was an integral part of the Gunners’ Under-23s side that finished third in Premier League 2 last season, but has departed north London after finding first-team opportunities hard to come by.
While Hutchinson did not make any appearances for the senior Arsenal side, he did feature in Mikel Arteta’s matchday squad on 10 occasions during the 2021-22 campaign.
He will now, however, be available to Thomas Tuchel as the Blues look to yet again offer top English talent the chance to shine towards the top of the Premier League table.
Editors' Picks
Who is new Chelsea signing Omari Hutchinson?
Born in Surrey, Hutchinson's formal footballing education began at Charlton Athletic before he joined Arsenal in 2015.
Having honed his skills playing futsal, Hutchinson is known for his quick feet, supreme confidence and eye for the spectacular when it comes to goalscoring.
“I’ve always been known as a little skiller," he told GOAL in September 2021. "I would say half of it has come from futsal. But also when I was younger, I used to do skills in my front room, in my garden and in my kitchen. Straight after school I would get changed and do skills. I loved it.”
Over the past two seasons, Hutchinson has emerged as one of the stars of Arsenal's famed Hale End academy, providing 17 goals and 16 assists across the various age-group sides since the start of the 2019-20 campaign.
That form caught the eye of Arteta, who invited him to pre-season training in 2020, but Hutchinson's failure to break into the first team has eventually led to him joining Chelsea.
“We are delighted that Omari has agreed to sign for Chelsea," the Blues' head of youth recruitment, Jim Fraser, said in a statement. "He is a brilliant addition who joins us as an exciting emerging talent hoping to make a quick impression in the senior game."
An England youth international, in June he was called-up to the senior Jamaica squad for their unofficial friendly against Catalunya, but it remains to be seen whether he will commit to representing the Caribbean nation going forward. | https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/chelsea-sign-arsenal-wonderkid-hutchinson-shock-transfer/blt6796e055b3b82360 | 2022-07-16T09:13:20Z | https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/chelsea-sign-arsenal-wonderkid-hutchinson-shock-transfer/blt6796e055b3b82360 | true | 10 |
Martha Stewart Celebrates Westminster Win of Chow Chow Related to Her 'Late Champion' Dog
The legacy of Martha Stewart's beloved dog lives on at Westminster!
On June 21, Stewart, 80, shared on Instagram that a relative of her late dog Ghenghis Khan won Best of Breed for the Chow Chow at the 146th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Presented by Purina Pro Plan. For 2022, the event is taking place at Lyndhurst Estate, a property along the Hudson River, about 25 miles north of Manhattan, in Tarrytown, New York.
"Great news from @westminsterkennelclub! Non-sporting breeds were judged including the chow chows!! Buddakan won," Stewart wrote on Instagram Tuesday, alongside a photo of Buddakan and his handler accepting the honor. "He is the son of my winner ghenghis khan, and ghenghis was the son of winner Maddox. three generations of chow chows I am so proud!!!!!!"
According to the Westminster Kennel Club's website, which confirmed the dog's victory, Buddakan's show name is GCHG CH Liontamer-Pazzazz Rothrock Tradition By Buddakan. Buddakan went on to compete for the Best in Group honor for the Non-Sporting Group, a title that ended up going to French bulldog GCHP CH Fox Canyon's I Won The War At Goldshield CGCA CGCU TKN.
One of the winning French bulldog's owners is NFL defensive lineman Morgan Fox, according to USA Today. The canine, who is called Winston outside of competition, is moving on to Westminster's Best in Show round.
Stewart has been following Buddakan's career closely for years. In 2020, the TV personality wrote on her blog about her excitement over the Chow Chow's involvement in the 2020 Westminster Dog Show.
"This year, my Chow Chows, Empress Qin and Emperor Han, won't be there, but two dogs related to my late champion, Genghis Kahn, will be competing — Talosa and Buddakan — both bred by Karen Tracy of Pazzazz Kennels," Stewart wrote at the time.

"My French Bulldogs, Bete Noire and Creme Brûlée, and the Chows, Qin and Han, will be watching," she added.
In 2012, the TV personality's own Chow Chow, Ghenghis Khan, then 2, won Best of Breed at the prestigious Westminster Dog Show.

Ulrika Jonsson has said she will be following in the footsteps of actress Florence Pugh and 'freeing the nipple'.
This comes as Florence took to a red carpet in a pink dress that was sheer over her chest which has caused controversy.
Ulrika has said Florence deserves a 'round of applause' after her brave move.
Florence has received backlash after wearing the daring dress, with some calling her 'flat-chested'.
However, Ulrika told The Sun that "Florence looked the epitome of beauty, class and purity, showing and owning what is biologically and physiologically hers."
The TV presenter said she has been at the end of backlash in the past when she's had a 'nip-slip' on Instagram so can relate to the nasty comments Florence has received.

Ulrika said: "I’ve been given a scolding on Instagram when I’ve accidentally had a nip-slip. It’s beyond ridiculous.
"This platform can’t weed out racism but it can shut down a picture of a nipple. And the inequality is there for all to see. We’re quite happy for men to parade around revealing their saggy boobs.
"We admire the taut pecs of the men on Love Island on our TV screens every night. But if a woman goes topless, all hell breaks loose."
Ulrika opened up about having a breast reduction and being 'desperate' for smaller boobs.
When she was 41 the star decided to have the surgery after asking for a pair of 'Kate Mosses'.
She described it as 'one of the best decisions she's ever made'.
The 54-year-old said the choice was 'going against convention at the time' as other women were getting surgery to get bigger boobs.
Despite not being able to go as small as she wanted due to her frame, she still says the surgery changed her life and improved her relationship with her body.
Florence posted to her Instagram about wearing the sheer dress where she posted a statement about the backlash she'd received.
She said that she there was 'no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it' and 'was excited to wear it'.
The actress talked about how she was grateful that she grew up in a household with very 'strong, powerful, curvy women'.
Florence wrote: "I’m very grateful that I grew up in a household with very strong, powerful, curvy women. We were raised to find power in the creases of our body.
"To be loud about being comfortable. It has always been my mission in this industry to say 'f*** it and f*** that' whenever anyone expects my body to morph into an opinion of what’s hot or sexually attractive. I wore that dress because I know.
"If being loudly abusive towards women publicly in 2022 is so easy for you, then the answer is that it is you who doesn’t know."
She added: "Grow up. Respect people. Respect bodies. Respect all women. Respect humans. Life will get a whole lot easier, I promise. And all because of two cute little nipples…."

Note: This article discusses gun violence in all its forms, including suicide.
For every mass shooting that dominates the headlines, there are scores of deaths like Quinton Scott's that most people never hear about.
On July 4 — the same day a gunman opened fire on an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Ill. — Scott was shot and killed in Peoria, a few hours away.
His death didn't make national news, but it devastated the people who knew him.
"I don't know how to feel, except I feel lost," said Marcellus Sommerville, who mentored the 19-year-old. Sommerville said Scott was a curious kid with an old soul.
Sommerville runs Peoria Friendship House, a community organization where Scott was enrolled in a career development program, working towards becoming a carpenter. "He had a passion for using his hands," Sommerville said.
Staff at Friendship House had helped Scott work his way through a self-paced high school diploma program. They just celebrated his graduation in April. Sommerville said that in a lot of ways, Scott was battling life after losing his mother to gun violence at a young age.
"How do you get out of that successfully? And I feel like he was taking small steps to be successful," Sommerville said. "And then to be in a situation where his life is taken — over what, I still don't know."
Scott was shot multiple times in the chest and leg in the early hours of July 4, according to police, and driven to the hospital where he died shortly after.
The country's enormous gun death toll – more than 45,000 in 2020, the last year with available data – is made up largely of lives taken one by one. These personal tragedies aren't seared on the national psyche like Columbine or Parkland or Sandy Hook. But they tear real holes in the lives of the friends and family left behind.
Like Paula Volker, in Casper, Wy. Her July 4th started with a panic attack.
"I was actually kind of surprised. I woke up with a nightmare," she said. Last Monday marked nine years since her husband, Dale, shot and killed himself. She said the trauma had mostly dissipated, but she'll never look at the holiday the same way. "People say there's a timeline to grief, and that's not the case," she said.
Dale Volker was an avid athlete, and had just had a couple of back surgeries that left him in pain, unable to do the things he loved. One day he didn't come home from work.
"I truly believe if there wouldn't have been a gun in the home that this wouldn't have happened," Paula Volker said. "I think it was a snap decision that morning."
Quinton Scott and Dale Volker's stories are the sort that often don't register in the public's understanding of gun death in the U.S.
"Far too often, policy conversations are driven by mass shootings," said Cassandra Crifasi, a public health researcher with the Center for Gun Violence Solutions at Johns Hopkins University. "That doesn't mean that we shouldn't make policies to address them, but if we focus only on those, we might miss other opportunities for intervention."
What the statistics really tell us
Troubling trends stand out among those 45,000 gun deaths in 2020.
One in every 1,000 Black men and boys between the ages of 15 and 34 was shot and killed that year, according to a Johns Hopkins analysis. That's nearly 21 times the rate of their white counterparts.
Crifasi said that's in large part thanks to decades of policies that disinvested in communities of color and systematically concentrated disadvantage. That has led to a host of issues, from limited economic opportunities to lead exposure, which are all associated with violence.
Living under that threat weighs on a person. That's what 19-year-old Ernest Willingham told a U.S. Senate Committee last month. Young people in Chicago, where he grew up, attend "more funerals than weddings," he testified. "I have seen my brother, my father, my cousin and my best friend become victims of gun violence," he said.
He told NPR that this sense of constant danger shaped the way his grandmother raised him. "I always wondered: Why didn't my grandmother let me go to certain places or why wasn't I allowed to play outside with certain kids after a certain time?" he said. As he got older, he realized she was protecting him. "She knew how dangerous it was."
Willingham learned to "maneuver" his way through the city to stay safe, leaving his neighborhood to buy groceries or visit restaurants, for example.
When it came time to apply for college, he went out of state, to Northeastern University to escape gun violence in Chicago. "I just didn't want to have to deal with that for the next four years of my life as I already had dealt with it for the first 18 years," he said.
In just the few weeks since his June 15 Senate testimony, Willingham has been touched by gun violence again. Twice.
He said his niece was shot in her own home. She survived, but he said the family left their house out of fear of another attack. And his friend Eryk Brown was shot, too.
Like Willingham, Brown said he did everything possible to avoid becoming a victim of gun violence. He got good grades and test scores, and he went out of state for school, too, to the University of Wisconsin.
"I don't have to lean towards the streets and be involved in nonsense that I don't need myself being a part of," he said.
But gun violence found him all the same.
He was home for a summer internship. He and a couple of high school friends stopped by a vegan restaurant for takeout, in a neighborhood he didn't know well.
They ordered, then went back to the car to wait for their food. Minutes later, a gunman opened fire.
Brown remembers thinking, "When is this going to be over?" And praying that he wouldn't be hit anywhere that would permanently disable or kill him.
By the time the shooter peeled off, Brown had been shot in the leg, and one of his friends in her hand. They rushed to a nearby hospital, where he said he felt discriminated against.
"I felt like I was getting profiled while being a victim of gun violence," he said. "I was just thinking like, 'Just because you are, I would say, a Caucasian, that don't mean this couldn't happen to you.'"
Both Willingham and Brown feel there's a difference between the way the media and politicians react to mass shootings like the one in Highland Park, and the way they respond to violence in their communities.
When shootings injure four or five people in Chicago, you don't see one news channel, Willingham said. "You begin to wonder, well, what's the difference between those young people that are being shot and killed in Inglewood, in North Lawndale, as opposed to those ones that were shot in Highland Park?"
Brown pointed out how quickly the Highland Park gunman was apprehended. "It just shows the amount of resources and time they put into different situations that happened to different types of people," he said.
It's a mistake to think of gun violence as a problem that only affects cities. Crifasi, the public health researcher, said she often hears places like Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit blamed for the country's high gun death rates. But the data show that many rural counties have per capita gun homicide rates just as high, or higher.
"This is not an us versus them problem," Crifasi said. "This is a whole of the U.S. problem."
Most gun deaths are suicides
Another group of people who are often lost in the discussion over gun violence is those who die by suicide. Well over half of gun deaths are suicides.
Matthew Miller, who studies the relationship between guns and suicide mortality at Northeastern University, said most people didn't know that owning a gun increased your risk of death by suicide three or four fold.
It's not that gun owners are inherently more suicidal, he said, but that "the gun itself changes what would very often be non-lethal suicide attempts, into lethal suicide attempts, because with guns, you rarely get a second chance, whereas with many other commonly used methods, you do."
That's a message that Dorothy Paugh has spent years trying to spread.
Her life has been touched by suicide twice. First, when she was a young girl, after her father had lost his job.
"He told my mother one day that she should know where the life insurance policies were kept and the will, and he went out and he bought a handgun," Paugh said.
Alarmed, Paugh's mother reached out to their priest and her husband's best friend, who came and spoke to him for hours. "But what they didn't do was take the handgun when they left," Paugh said.
The next day, Paugh's father died by suicide.
Then in 2012, her 25-year-old son Peter also ended his life with a gun.
"For a year [after his death], I was not much good at concentrating or feeling like I wanted to be here," Paugh said. But eventually, she started reading the research on suicide prevention.
And she learned that one of the most effective things you can do if someone is struggling is to ask them if they're thinking of suicide. And, if they have access to a firearm, to take it away.
Often, she said, if you can stop people in their worst moments, "Instead of finding another way to die, they find a way to live."
She reached out to her state delegate, Democrat Geraldine Valentino-Smith, who agreed to introduce an extreme risk protective order, commonly known as a red flag law.
That bill became law in Maryland in 2018 after the school shooting in Parkland, Fl. put pressure on lawmakers to act on gun control.
Paugh said she used to resent the fact that gun suicides got so much less attention than mass shootings. But she said she came to realize that people don't want to believe they will be affected by gun deaths, and that mass shootings "break that delusion."
"And as it turns out," she said, "the laws that will prevent a mass shooting also work to prevent suicides."
That's one reason why Crifasi, the public health researcher, said not to ask, "Why is this community getting attention while these others aren't?" after a mass shooting in a predominantly white community like Highland Park. Instead, she said that was a time to seek input from victims of other types of gun violence, too, to create policies that address the full scope of the problem.
It's also why, as difficult as it is, Paugh wants to make sure her story of suicide loss is heard.
"Sometimes I think I can't talk about it anymore," Paugh said. "But then, after I get rested, I have to talk again."

Italy's fascist party leader could become country's first female prime minister after current PM resigned
- Hard-right firebrand Giorgia Meloni, a successor to Mussolini, is tipped for PM
- The ex-Berlusconi ally and Brothers of Italy leader, 45, is leading in the polls
- Her strict social stance includes opposing gay adoption and blockading borders
- PM Mario Draghi sent resignation letter last week - but was rejected by president
The leader of hard-right party Brothers of Italy has been tipped to become the nation's next prime minister amid a fresh wave of political chaos in the country.
Firebrand Giorgia Meloni, whose party includes Il Duce's granddaughter as a councillor in Rome, is leading in the polls ahead of a likely snap election.
Ms Meloni, 45, has called for an election 'now' after incumbent PM Mario Draghi tabled his resignation, which was rejected by President Mattarella.
Ex-cabinet minister Meloni became the youngest in Italian history when she served under Silvio Berlusconi.
Giorgia Meloni, pictured in April, has called for an immediate election after the government fell
She left his his centre-right grouping after three years.
Berlusconi's collapse and the sputtering of far-right rivals The League has seen Brothers of Italy surge in the polls - and rival current PM Mario Draghi's Democrats.
Popular policies including a naval blockade of the North African coast to stop migrants reaching Italian shores.
She also backs financial incentives for couples to have more children, making Italy less dependent on migrant labour.
Although Meloni has courted controversy with her opposition to gay adoption.

Mario Draghi tendered his resignation last week after his coalition could no longer function
Yet having spiked from a 4 per cent vote share at the 2018 general elections to an estimated 22 per cent now, Meloni has certainly found an audience.
Her biggest obstacle, however, is Berlusconi and League party leader Matteo Salvini's opposition to an election.
Silvio Berlusconi, formerly Ms Meloni's ally, has said there should not be an election soon
Putin lapdog Dmitry Medvedev responded to Draghi's resignation attempt with a meme also showing Boris Johnson, captioned: 'Who's next?'
Ms Meloni has described the EU as a 'failure' and historically taken a soft line on Russia, though this has been reversed since the invasion of Ukraine in late February.
Meanwhile Mr Draghi weighed his options after populist ally the 5-Star Movement sparked a crisis by withholding support on a government-sponsored bill.
On the immediate horizon are behind-the-scenes consultations through mid-week to see if Draghi could be persuaded to continue governing with a newly constituted majority - which key parties seem to want - or some other option other than an early election as soon as September.
Draghi immediately offered to resign Thursday after 5-Star senators boycotted a vote on helping Italians cope with rising energy prices, arguing that the conditions that created his national unity government, which included parties on the right, left and the 5-Stars, no longer exist.
But President Sergio Mattarella rejected his offer and told Draghi to go back to Parliament on Wednesday to brief lawmakers and offer 'an evaluation of the situation.'
Significantly Mattarella didn't call for a confidence vote. Draghi has been clear that there wouldn't be a second Draghi government or one without the 5-Stars. The extra days of limbo Mattarella prescribed would allow Draghi at least to have a planned visit to Algeria to finalize key agreements on gas imports.
The turmoil couldn't have come at a worse time for the eurozone's third-largest economy. Italy is facing soaring inflation and energy costs as a result of Russia's war in Ukraine, a prolonged drought that is threatening crops and the ongoing implementation of its EU-financed pandemic recovery program.
While Draghi might still have the support of key allies to continue leading the government, some parties on the far-right and right are already gunning for an early election.
'With Draghi's resignation, this legislature is over for the Brothers of Italy,' said Georgia Meloni, head of the right-wing party that is polling around 22%, nearly the same as the center-left Democratic Party. 'We'll fight until the Italian people are given back a right that citizens of every other democracy have: the freedom to choose their own representatives.'
Meloni's usual center-right allies - the Forza Italia party of ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi and the League led by Matteo Salvini - indicated a wait-and-see approach.
In a joint statement published on Friday, they backed Draghi for what they said was his understandable ire and blasted the 5-Stars for having created a national crisis over their opposition to a new garbage incinerator for Rome.

The Latest on U.S. President Joe Biden's trip to the Mideast:
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — President Joe Biden began his final day in Saudi Arabia by meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, who survived an assassination attempt with explosive drones last year.
Some in the country have blamed the attack Iranian-backed factions. It came amid soaring tensions and a stand-off between Iraqi security forces and pro-Iran Shiite militias over election results.
Biden said he wanted to support Iraq’s democracy.
“I want the press and you to know we want to be (as) helpful as we can in doing that,” he said.
Al-Kadhimi spoke about the “strategic, friendly relationship” between the U.S. and Iraq, and he thanked the U.S. for providing support to combat terrorist groups.
An estimated 2,500 U.S. troops remain in Iraq to support the country’s fight against the Islamic State.
Biden is in Jeddah attending a summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The leaders of Egypt, Iraq and Jordan are also attending. (edited)

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — President Joe Biden said Friday that gas prices across the U.S. “have been coming down every single day to the best of my knowledge” but cautioned that his visit to Saudi Arabia may not have an immediate impact on what Americans are paying at the pump.
The Biden administration has said that record high rates of U.S. inflation aren’t yet reflecting falling gas prices, which have been dropping in many parts of the country since mid-June. Asked about whether his trip to the Middle East would further accelerate those declines, Biden responded: “I suspect you won’t see that for another couple of weeks.”
Speaking to reporters, the president was also asked about Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin’s opposition to a White House backed energy plan that Biden says can lower costs while also combating climate change.
Manchin’s refusing to support the plan could mean it won’t pass the Senate. Biden said, “I didn’t negotiate with Joe Manchin,” but added of his climate change goals, “I’m not going away.”
Biden vowed to use “every power I have as president” to move the U.S. toward greener energy. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/The-Latest-Biden-meets-with-Iraqi-PM-in-Saudi-17309252.php | 2022-07-16T09:25:14Z | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/The-Latest-Biden-meets-with-Iraqi-PM-in-Saudi-17309252.php | true | 10 |
Even before making the LFF official, the clubs twice tried to organize conversations with Libra representatives. The first ended up being canceled at the last minute and, when a new date was tried, with the information that technical members would participate to start trading, the Libra retreated. The formal invitation sent days later was answered after the announcement of the creation of the block with 25 clubs. This Monday’s meeting does not necessarily mean a change in that picture.
+ Futebol Forte and Libra will have a meeting on Monday, to try to reach consensus and structure the Brazilian football league
O ge heard people connected to the two blocks. If the reading of the LFF is that a negotiation is now starting, Libra follows the posture of not negotiating the terms already agreed by its members with associations that have not joined. In summary, Libra formed a commission with three directors to listen to the LFF’s exposition and proposals, but without autonomy to negotiate.

Duílio Monteiro Alves (Corinthians), Andrés Rueda (Santos) and Thiago Scuro (Bragantino) will be the three responsible for bringing the projections and proposals presented by the LFF to the other Libra members.
On the other hand, the LFF created a commission to lead the negotiations even before formalizing the league, with six clubs: América-MG, Atlético-MG, Fortaleza, Fluminense, Internacional and a member of the National Association of Football Clubs (ANCF) , which represents several associations of the Brazilian Series B.
Representatives of the company Live Mode and Alvarez & Marsal, which help LFF in the projections and definition of criteria for negotiation, will not participate. Libra should also not have representatives from Codajas Sports Kapital at the meeting. The intention of both sides is to leave the negotiations in the hands of the managers of the clubs, helping with information, structuring and the search for investors.
The themes that lead to the impasse that has dragged on for a few months are known. Differences in revenue sharing, in the percentage allocated to Serie B clubs and in the quota division criteria linked to variables such as sports performance and engagement.

A sensitive point for the group of LFF clubs is the recent difficulty in selling rights to the Second Division of the Brazilian Championship, which are only negotiated until the end of this year – while the rights to Série A have already been sold until 2024.
The point is that the clubs resumed the negotiation of these rights and found it difficult to receive proposals that they liked. Two leaders – Francisco Battistoti, president of the ANCF, and Marcus Salum, president of the SAF do América-MG – went to the CBF about two weeks ago to ask the entity to help again in these negotiations. Since then, the entity has been talking to interested parties and there is already talk of numbers, but without formal proposals on the table.
Libra members believe that, if the situation continues, some LFF clubs may change blocks. CBF reported that it is already in advanced negotiations for the sale of broadcasting rights for Series C and D.
As members of the LFF heard by the ge understand that Monday’s meeting will be a conversation in search of consensus, on the Libra side the intention is not to negotiate, but to listen and, if there is any proposal that they consider to make sense, take it to the other members for analysis.
The LFF intends to identify commonalities in the statutes of the two leagues that can serve as a basis for a document for the creation of a single league in the future. There are important differences, such as the need for unanimity in Libra to change issues such as revenue sharing. In the LFF, the option was by qualified majority.
As the rights to Serie A are negotiated until the end of 2024, at CBF the interpretation is that an eventual change of management of the Brazilian Championship will only happen from 2025. But Libra envisions a kind of co-organization already in 2024 as way to smooth the transition. It all depends on how long it will take for the blocks to reach a consensus. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/16/groups-arrange-meeting-but-are-still-far-from-consensus-to-form-league-sport-business/ | 2022-07-16T09:25:42Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/16/groups-arrange-meeting-but-are-still-far-from-consensus-to-form-league-sport-business/ | true | 2 |

The last few months have seen a downward spiral in the value of crypto assets, and experts are worried about the projections. In the last six months, the total value of all crypto assets has dropped 70%. The total crypto market cap fell below $1 trillion, which is a massive freefall from its peak of $2.9 trillion.
Ethereum has gone down 75% from its all-time high, while Bitcoin is down by more than 65% from its all-time high. The skeptics and critics of crypto are having a field day because they have always thought it a scam, while there is a school of thought that believes the hiked interest from the Federal Reserve has caused it, a move made to combat high inflation in the US.
In sports, there are concerns about sponsorships backed by crypto. There was an estimated $1.5 billion in sponsorship agreements agreed upon by crypto companies. This includes exchanges and tokens, and many more. Crypto.com paid around $700 million to rename the Staples Center in Los Angeles while FTX spent north of $500 million on deals with esports franchise TSM, Major League Baseball, and the Miami Heat.
What will happen to these deals?
There are a lot of questions plaguing these deals. Will these companies be able to pay? Does this mean that the partnership between sports and crypto is over? There are different ways to explain this, as there are a number of outcomes.
FTX and Crypto.com bring in dollars in annual revenues, as they appear to be well-run businesses, so they should be able to pay for their deals regardless of what happens. In the case of FTX, before they signed those deals, they had to provide growth projections and show financial statements, before they signed the large 9-figure deals.
The main problem is with teams that took a lot of risks
The reality of crypto assets falling in value is more evident that teams and sports franchises that took quite the risk with crypto. Before the start of the MLB season, the Washington Nationals signed a deal with Terra that included advertising and signage around a video series. The series explains crypto be published by the team, and the 5-year deal worth around $40 million.
Mark D.Lerner, the managing principal owner of the Nationals, said at the time of the announcement, that, “We are excited to partner with Terra to name our most exclusive club and explore bringing powerful new fan experiences to Nationals Park, including the use of UST cryptocurrency to make purchases,”
However, just a few months later, more than $40 billion in value was destroyed overnight, when UST, the algorithmic stablecoin, dropped from its $1 peg to less than a cent.
At the expense of being tone-deaf, the Washington Nationals continued to fulfil its contractual obligation, as they posted a “crypto 101” video on its social media account.
The future is still sketchy
There are currently nearly 20,000 cryptocurrencies in existence, and 99% of them will probably end up being worth $0.
This doesn’t mean that all crypto deals will be bad. However, teams and organizations in sports must be masters of risk-taking during bull markets. Professional sports teams must also be careful and do due diligence when they choose marketing teams, while retail traders must also be careful when picking investments. | https://nairametrics.com/2022/07/16/what-will-happen-to-multi-billion-dollar-sports-sponsorships-now-that-crypto-is-failing/ | 2022-07-16T09:30:47Z | https://nairametrics.com/2022/07/16/what-will-happen-to-multi-billion-dollar-sports-sponsorships-now-that-crypto-is-failing/ | false | 1 |
Leader of the Iraqi political Sadrist Movement Muqtada Al-Sadr on Friday called for "dissolving all armed factions" in the country during the Friday sermon in Sadr City, as reported by Iraqi News Agency (INA).
Al-Sadr stressed: "The Popular Mobilisation Forces must be reorganised and kept away from external interference." He noted: "It is not possible to form a strong government with the presence of disordered weapons and militias."
He pointed out: "Most politicians have external orientations, and the supreme reference has closed its door to all politicians. If they want to form a government, they must commit to removing the occupation, and the first steps of repentance are to hold their corrupt members accountable without hesitation."
Al-Sadr addressed former Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki without naming him, warning: "Do not try to attack the experienced so that the Speicher massacre is not repeated."
According to the government, Daesh executed around 2,000 students at the Aviation College and security personnel inside a military base known as Speicher in Salah Al-Din Governorate when it took control of the area in June 2014 during Al-Maliki's mandate.
Earlier on Friday, the director of Sadr's office in Baghdad, Ibrahim Al-Jabri, confirmed that the united prayer: "Is a message from Mr Al-Sadr of his continuation of reforms and overcoming the political issue."
Al-Jabri conveyed in a statement to Al-Iraqiya news channel: "The unified prayer is for the unity of the Iraqi people."
He pointed out that after Al-Sadr demanded the resignation of MPs, reform is still at the forefront of his goals, without distinction between one governorate and another.
Large crowds of worshippers participated in the prayer calledfor by Al-Sadr on Thursday, with preparations and security and service measures in place to secure the prayer. | https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20220716-al-sadr-government-cannot-be-formed-without-dissolving-armed-factions/ | 2022-07-16T09:31:39Z | https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20220716-al-sadr-government-cannot-be-formed-without-dissolving-armed-factions/ | true | 1 |

A young cartoon girl wearing large headphones hunches over a softly lit desk. She's scribbling in a notebook. To her side, a striped orange cat gazes out on a beige cityscape.
The Lofi Girl is an internet icon. The animation plays on a loop on the "lofi hip hop radio — beats to relax/study to" YouTube stream.
It's a 24/7 live stream that plays low-fidelity hip hop music — or lofi for short.
"I would say lofi music is the synthesis of golden era rap aesthetic with the Japanese jazz aesthetics that is then put through this lens of nostalgia," says Hixon Foster, a student and lofi artist.
He describes listening to lofi as a way to escape. Some songs are lonely or melancholy, others remind him of his school years in Michigan and toiling away at homework while listening to tunes.
The genre has become increasingly popular in the last few years. There are countless people making lofi music, fan art, memes, spin-off streams, and Halloween costumes.
Basically, Lofi Girl is everywhere. And with nearly 11 million people subscribed to the channel, the Lofi Girl stream has been the go-to place to find this music.
But last weekend, she went missing. YouTube had taken down the stream due to a false copyright claim.
Fans were not happy.
"There were camps that were confused and camps that were angry," Foster said. "I mainly saw kind of, at least through the lofi Discord, various users being like, 'Oh my God what is this? What's really going on with this?'"
YouTube quickly apologized for the mistake, and the stream returned two days later. But this isn't the first time musicians have been wrongfully shut down on YouTube.
"There's been a lot of examples of copyright going against the ideas of art and artistic evolution," Foster said. "It feels like a lot of the legal practices are going towards stifling artists, which is interesting when the main idea of them is to be protecting them."
The rise of bogus copyright claims
Lofi Girl made it through the ordeal relatively unscathed, but smaller artists who don't have huge platforms may not be so lucky.
"They are at the mercy of people sending abusive takedowns and YouTube's ability to detect and screen for them," said James Grimmelmann, a law professor at Cornell University.
He said false copyright claims were rampant.
"People can use them for extortion or harassment or in some cases to file claims to monetize somebody else's videos," he said.
YouTube gets so many copyright claims that they can't carefully evaluate whether each one is legitimate, Grimmelmann said.
They leave it up to the artist to prove the claims are wrong — sometimes in court — which can be a long process.
Grimmelmann said it's up to Congress to fix copyright law for it to work better for artists. The current laws incentivize YouTube to err on the side of removing artists' content, rather than being precise in their enforcement of copyright claims.
"We ended up with this system because in the 1990s, when the contours of the internet and copyright are still coming into view, this is the compromise that representatives of the copyright industries and the internet industries worked out," Grimmelmann said.
"It's a compromise that hasn't destroyed anybody's business and has made it possible for artists to put their stuff online," Grimmelmann said. "And there has not been the appetite to try to upend that compromise because somebody's ox will get gored if they do."
Luckily, Lofi Girl and her millions of subscribers were able to make a big enough stink to get YouTube's attention quickly and get the issue resolved.
For now, lofi fans can get back to relaxing and studying. Lofi Girl will be right there with you.

AVERI KENT/Special to The Facts
Kids color their aprons during the week’s opening night of Vacation Bible School at First United Methodist Church of Lake Jackson.
Building on the current popularity of food trucks, one local church took the concept and used it for the theme of its annual vacation Bible school.
“We traditionally have fed kids dinner and have done an evening VBS, so when the food truck party one (idea) kind of came about, well, there’s an easy tie-in right there,” said Anna Galbreath, new Children’s Ministry director at First United Methodist Church of Lake Jackson. “Picking a theme going about God’s provision and trying to provide some kind of food or relief for the community, bringing kids in and feeding them was pretty special — I thought it lined up pretty well.”
This is Galbreath’s first year coordinating the big event for her ministry, but she believes the food truck theme and God’s provision go hand in hand.
“They’re doing all the Bible stories that are food-based,” she said. “Today is manna. So manna from heaven and Jesus feeding 5,000 will be another night. Daniel eating the good stuff. So it’s all tied kind of around food and God providing what we need.”
The church and volunteers provide a meal for the kids as the beginning activity each night. It was an important aspect of the program as many kids go without a meal, 19-year-old volunteer Noah Hankinson said.
It’s a great way to show kids that Jesus loves them and he will provide, he said.
Activities for the kids included drama or Bible stories, science and crafts, recreation and music. The classes are open to pre-k through fourth-grade students, volunteer Kimberly Bowers said.
The kids get to interact and enjoy the faith-based activities.
He’s been attending VBS for several years and just loves anything that does good with Christianity, fourth grader Wyatt Hall said.
“You get to learn about God and make a lot of friends,” second grader, McKenna Cravey said.
Although the meals are not provided by actual food trucks, the kids did have the treat of an actual ice cream truck coming Thursday.
The program also has an initiative to provide blessing bags and increase the theme of provision throughout the community. The students and their families have been encouraged to donate items such as snacks, water and other items for families to give out to someone in need.
“I hope that they take with them that God provides everything that they need. And with that provision, we can help provide for others,” Galbreath said.

Police have issued an appeal to track down a 22-year-old reported missing from his home in Edinburgh.
Plamen Todorov was last seen leaving his work on Lothian Road in the capital at around 11.30pm on Thursday July 14. However, he failed to return home and has not been seen since.
Officers tasked with finding the 22-year-old say there are "concerns for his welfare". They have urged members of the public who have seen him or have any information to get in touch as soon as possible.
Plamen is described as white, of slim build, around 5ft 5ins in height, with short dark hair and slight facial hair. When he was last seen he was wearing a dark jacket, beige chino-style trousers and a large yellow rucksack, and was in possession of a grey and red mountain bike.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We are appealing for the public’s help as part of our efforts to trace Plamen Todorov (22) reported missing from Edinburgh.

Note: This article discusses gun violence in all its forms, including suicide.
For every mass shooting that dominates the headlines, there are scores of deaths like Quinton Scott's that most people never hear about.
On July 4 — the same day a gunman opened fire on an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Ill. — Scott was shot and killed in Peoria, a few hours away.
His death didn't make national news, but it devastated the people who knew him.
"I don't know how to feel, except I feel lost," said Marcellus Sommerville, who mentored the 19-year-old. Sommerville said Scott was a curious kid with an old soul.
Sommerville runs Peoria Friendship House, a community organization where Scott was enrolled in a career development program, working towards becoming a carpenter. "He had a passion for using his hands," Sommerville said.
Staff at Friendship House had helped Scott work his way through a self-paced high school diploma program. They just celebrated his graduation in April. Sommerville said that in a lot of ways, Scott was battling life after losing his mother to gun violence at a young age.
"How do you get out of that successfully? And I feel like he was taking small steps to be successful," Sommerville said. "And then to be in a situation where his life is taken — over what, I still don't know."
Scott was shot multiple times in the chest and leg in the early hours of July 4, according to police, and driven to the hospital where he died shortly after.
The country's enormous gun death toll – more than 45,000 in 2020, the last year with available data – is made up largely of lives taken one by one. These personal tragedies aren't seared on the national psyche like Columbine or Parkland or Sandy Hook. But they tear real holes in the lives of the friends and family left behind.
Like Paula Volker, in Casper, Wy. Her July 4th started with a panic attack.
"I was actually kind of surprised. I woke up with a nightmare," she said. Last Monday marked nine years since her husband, Dale, shot and killed himself. She said the trauma had mostly dissipated, but she'll never look at the holiday the same way. "People say there's a timeline to grief, and that's not the case," she said.
Dale Volker was an avid athlete, and had just had a couple of back surgeries that left him in pain, unable to do the things he loved. One day he didn't come home from work.
"I truly believe if there wouldn't have been a gun in the home that this wouldn't have happened," Paula Volker said. "I think it was a snap decision that morning."
Quinton Scott and Dale Volker's stories are the sort that often don't register in the public's understanding of gun death in the U.S.
"Far too often, policy conversations are driven by mass shootings," said Cassandra Crifasi, a public health researcher with the Center for Gun Violence Solutions at Johns Hopkins University. "That doesn't mean that we shouldn't make policies to address them, but if we focus only on those, we might miss other opportunities for intervention."
What the statistics really tell us
Troubling trends stand out among those 45,000 gun deaths in 2020.
One in every 1,000 Black men and boys between the ages of 15 and 34 was shot and killed that year, according to a Johns Hopkins analysis. That's nearly 21 times the rate of their white counterparts.
Crifasi said that's in large part thanks to decades of policies that disinvested in communities of color and systematically concentrated disadvantage. That has led to a host of issues, from limited economic opportunities to lead exposure, which are all associated with violence.
Living under that threat weighs on a person. That's what 19-year-old Ernest Willingham told a U.S. Senate Committee last month. Young people in Chicago, where he grew up, attend "more funerals than weddings," he testified. "I have seen my brother, my father, my cousin and my best friend become victims of gun violence," he said.
He told NPR that this sense of constant danger shaped the way his grandmother raised him. "I always wondered: Why didn't my grandmother let me go to certain places or why wasn't I allowed to play outside with certain kids after a certain time?" he said. As he got older, he realized she was protecting him. "She knew how dangerous it was."
Willingham learned to "maneuver" his way through the city to stay safe, leaving his neighborhood to buy groceries or visit restaurants, for example.
When it came time to apply for college, he went out of state, to Northeastern University to escape gun violence in Chicago. "I just didn't want to have to deal with that for the next four years of my life as I already had dealt with it for the first 18 years," he said.
In just the few weeks since his June 15 Senate testimony, Willingham has been touched by gun violence again. Twice.
He said his niece was shot in her own home. She survived, but he said the family left their house out of fear of another attack. And his friend Eryk Brown was shot, too.
Like Willingham, Brown said he did everything possible to avoid becoming a victim of gun violence. He got good grades and test scores, and he went out of state for school, too, to the University of Wisconsin.
"I don't have to lean towards the streets and be involved in nonsense that I don't need myself being a part of," he said.
But gun violence found him all the same.
He was home for a summer internship. He and a couple of high school friends stopped by a vegan restaurant for takeout, in a neighborhood he didn't know well.
They ordered, then went back to the car to wait for their food. Minutes later, a gunman opened fire.
Brown remembers thinking, "When is this going to be over?" And praying that he wouldn't be hit anywhere that would permanently disable or kill him.
By the time the shooter peeled off, Brown had been shot in the leg, and one of his friends in her hand. They rushed to a nearby hospital, where he said he felt discriminated against.
"I felt like I was getting profiled while being a victim of gun violence," he said. "I was just thinking like, 'Just because you are, I would say, a Caucasian, that don't mean this couldn't happen to you.'"
Both Willingham and Brown feel there's a difference between the way the media and politicians react to mass shootings like the one in Highland Park, and the way they respond to violence in their communities.
When shootings injure four or five people in Chicago, you don't see one news channel, Willingham said. "You begin to wonder, well, what's the difference between those young people that are being shot and killed in Inglewood, in North Lawndale, as opposed to those ones that were shot in Highland Park?"
Brown pointed out how quickly the Highland Park gunman was apprehended. "It just shows the amount of resources and time they put into different situations that happened to different types of people," he said.
It's a mistake to think of gun violence as a problem that only affects cities. Crifasi, the public health researcher, said she often hears places like Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit blamed for the country's high gun death rates. But the data show that many rural counties have per capita gun homicide rates just as high, or higher.
"This is not an us versus them problem," Crifasi said. "This is a whole of the U.S. problem."
Most gun deaths are suicides
Another group of people who are often lost in the discussion over gun violence is those who die by suicide. Well over half of gun deaths are suicides.
Matthew Miller, who studies the relationship between guns and suicide mortality at Northeastern University, said most people didn't know that owning a gun increased your risk of death by suicide three or four fold.
It's not that gun owners are inherently more suicidal, he said, but that "the gun itself changes what would very often be non-lethal suicide attempts, into lethal suicide attempts, because with guns, you rarely get a second chance, whereas with many other commonly used methods, you do."
That's a message that Dorothy Paugh has spent years trying to spread.
Her life has been touched by suicide twice. First, when she was a young girl, after her father had lost his job.
"He told my mother one day that she should know where the life insurance policies were kept and the will, and he went out and he bought a handgun," Paugh said.
Alarmed, Paugh's mother reached out to their priest and her husband's best friend, who came and spoke to him for hours. "But what they didn't do was take the handgun when they left," Paugh said.
The next day, Paugh's father died by suicide.
Then in 2012, her 25-year-old son Peter also ended his life with a gun.
"For a year [after his death], I was not much good at concentrating or feeling like I wanted to be here," Paugh said. But eventually, she started reading the research on suicide prevention.
And she learned that one of the most effective things you can do if someone is struggling is to ask them if they're thinking of suicide. And, if they have access to a firearm, to take it away.
Often, she said, if you can stop people in their worst moments, "Instead of finding another way to die, they find a way to live."
She reached out to her state delegate, Democrat Geraldine Valentino-Smith, who agreed to introduce an extreme risk protective order, commonly known as a red flag law.
That bill became law in Maryland in 2018 after the school shooting in Parkland, Fl. put pressure on lawmakers to act on gun control.
Paugh said she used to resent the fact that gun suicides got so much less attention than mass shootings. But she said she came to realize that people don't want to believe they will be affected by gun deaths, and that mass shootings "break that delusion."
"And as it turns out," she said, "the laws that will prevent a mass shooting also work to prevent suicides."
That's one reason why Crifasi, the public health researcher, said not to ask, "Why is this community getting attention while these others aren't?" after a mass shooting in a predominantly white community like Highland Park. Instead, she said that was a time to seek input from victims of other types of gun violence, too, to create policies that address the full scope of the problem.
It's also why, as difficult as it is, Paugh wants to make sure her story of suicide loss is heard.
"Sometimes I think I can't talk about it anymore," Paugh said. "But then, after I get rested, I have to talk again."

'Built her house!' Rylan Clark slams Gogglebox critics saying he's 'horrible' to mum Linda
RYLAN CLARK has hit back at trolls who claim he's "horrible" to his mum Linda after watching the pair on Gogglebox.
The One Show: Alex Jones asks Rylan Clark about his health
Rylan Clark has been forced to crack down on critics who say he is “horrible” to his mum Linda. The Celebrity Gogglebox star, 33, was having none of it, as he implored viewers to “get a sense of humour”.
Rylan tweeted out a response to his critics in view of his 1.7 million Twitter followers yesterday.
“For anyone saying I'm horrible to mum please get a sense of humour, she got her sushi…” Rylan began.
“Also built her a house, whatever she asks for, and a new hedge trimmer this week… She’s good.
“Look after your mums, and also have a laugh with them x until next year x,” he signed off. (sic)
Rylan and his mum have been filming episodes of Celebrity Gogglebox since the first series in 2019.
The show is a spin-off of Channel 4’s popular series Gogglebox, which sees regular families react to the latest shows to hit the small screen.
While Rylan and Linda have become fan favourites on the show, the star has been forced to put up with some nasty criticism, and his fans took to the comments to back him up.
Rachel Bayliss wrote: “I constantly took the mick out of my Mum in an affectionate way.
“But I supported and cared for her and she knew it and appreciated it.
“Your bond is so typical and lovely to watch. You’re good to her and one day you’ll look back and be so comforted by that.”
Lou Baker commented: “The relationship you and your mum have is amazing. You remind me of me and my mum, we were the same.
“Unfortunately I lost her last year and when I see/ listen to you two, you always make me smile because we are the lucky ones to have a bond like that, not a lot of people do.” (sic)

Gillian Harring penned: “You are both hilarious together, it’s so obvious the love you both have for each other.
“As you say they should get a sense of humour. It’s so better to laugh than to cry, well cry tears of laughter. I know I cry tears of laughter watching both of you.”
Tracey Kyle gushed: “I love you and your mum’s relationship. Can totally see the love you have for each other.
“What’s right for you and her isn’t right for other people but that should be respected! Always look after your mum.”
While Chris added: “The love you both have for each other is very clear - honestly, no idea where people get from. You both keep doing you - you’re both really decent humans.”
Rylan began his career on The X Factor in 2012, before going on to win the 11th series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2013.
A decade later, he has landed presenting gigs with some of television’s biggest shows, including Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two and This Morning.

If you feel fatigued, it may be a warning sign of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), an umbrella term for a range of liver conditions affecting people who drink little to no alcohol. The main characteristic of NAFLD is that too much fat is stored in the liver cells. While it has become increasingly common around the world, there is little awareness about the symptoms and causes behind NAFLD.
Some individuals with NAFLD can also develop Non-Alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an aggressive form of fatty liver disease with liver inflammation. NASH may progress to advanced scarring (cirrhosis) and even liver failure. The effects of NAFLD are similar to the damage caused by excessive alcohol use.
Swollen belly, enlarged blood vessels underneath your skin, larger-than-normal breasts in men, red palms, yellowish eyes and skin, due to a condition called jaundice, are some of the common symptoms of NASH or cirrhosis.
If you have been experiencing any of these symptoms, consulting a doctor may help you in the early diagnosis and treatment of the liver disease.
Specific foods that can be helpful for people with fatty liver disease are:
Garlic
As per a study in Advanced Biomedical Research garlic powder supplements were found to be helpful in reducing body weight and body fat mass in people with NAFLD.
Omega-3 Fatty Acid rich food
In a research article named “Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acid in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Meta-Analysis”, consuming Omega-3 fatty acids may improve liver fat and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Salmon, flaxseeds, sardines, and walnuts are high in Omega-3 fatty acids.
Green Tea
The antioxidants present in Green Tea can help improve fatty liver symptoms.
Broccoli
Whole vegetables are known to be beneficial for people dealing with fatty liver disease. Long-term consumption of broccoli can check the build-up of fat in the liver
Soy protein
Soy Protein contains antioxidants called isoflavones that help in reducing fat in the body and boosting our insulin sensitivity.

- NASA unveiled the deepest, sharpest infrared image of the distant universe ever captured on Tuesday.
- Various estimates suggest Earth-like planets that could harbor life are abundant in the universe.
- The James Webb Space Telescope's instruments capture distant galaxies, stars, and worlds in unprecedented detail.
- For more stories visit Business Insider.
It's easy to lose yourself in the James Webb Space Telescope's first image. Snail-spiral galaxies, gleaming stars, and minuscule red dots surely represent billions of unknown worlds.
"The deep field image fills me with wonder and hope," Lisa Kaltenegger, professor of astronomy at Cornell University and director of the Carl Sagan Institute, told Insider.
Webb's image of the distant universe covers an area of the sky that you can blot out by holding a grain of sand at arm's length. Still, it contains thousands of galaxies, according to Kaltenegger, along with the possibility of billions of Earth-like planets. So far, the hunt for signs of life beyond Earth has turned up empty.
But astronomers say there are likely an abundance of places where life might thrive. Looking at Webb's pictures, it's hard to believe otherwise.
An abundance of distant worlds
There are up to 400 billion stars teeming with planets in the Milky Way alone. We don't know for sure, but scientists have tried to calculate how many Earth-like planets are orbiting all those stars. Their estimates range from 300 million to 10 billion potentially habitable worlds.
Outside that, there are about 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies in the universe, each one home to 100 million stars, on average, and at least that number of planets.
Astronomers have already captured direct evidence of 5,000 planets beyond our solar system, according to NASA's Exoplanet Archive. Hundreds of these worlds sit in the "Goldilocks Zone," the orbital range around a star where the temperature is just right — not too hot and not too cold — for liquid water to exist on the planet.
Observations by NASA's Kepler mission suggest that one out of every five stars has a planet orbiting it within this just-right distance, according to Kaltenegger. "I like our chances of finding other Earth-like planets, and hopefully other Earth-like planets that also host life," Kaltenegger said.
The possibilities for life aren't limited to planets. Some ocean moons within our solar system are leading candidates for alien life. There's Jupiter's icy moon Europa, and Saturn's moon Enceladus, which have oceans of liquid water deep beneath their ice crusts. Astronomers think there's a chance life could thrive there. Surely, there are other Europas and Enceladuses in other star systems.
Still, despite the myriad galaxies and worlds already imaged and studied, astronomers are unsure about the odds of life arising elsewhere.
"We don't know how easy or hard it is to make life — that is why the search is so exciting," Kaltenegger said, adding, "Right now, I'd say the chances are between zero and 100%, but I am hopeful it won't be zero."
Looking for life as we know it
To understand whether exoplanets, or planets around other stars, have the conditions to host life, researchers measure the chemical makeup of their atmospheres. They do this by looking at how starlight gets filtered by the atmosphere, which dips at very specific wavelengths that correspond to different molecules.
Astronomers typically look for the ingredients that sustain earthly life — liquid water, a continuous source of energy, carbon, and other elements — when hunting for life in distant worlds. For instance, detecting methane in an exoplanet's atmosphere could be an indication of biology. According to Kaltenegger, these building blocks of life appear to be abundant in our solar system and the universe.
What's more, a potential alien astronomer looking for life beyond their planet might pick up on signs of life from Earth in a similar way. In 2021, Kaltenegger co-authored a study that found that more than 2,000 stars, some with their own planets, have a front-row seat to look toward the Earth as it passes around our sun. "That's just within 300 light-years, in our cosmic front yard, in terms of distance," Kaltenegger said.
One limitation in scouring the cosmos for alien life is that scientists' definition of what a life-supporting planet might look like is based on what we know about life on Earth. But by discovering and studying new worlds, astronomers can hone in on what makes a world habitable beyond a sample size of one — Earth.
Leveraging Webb's power to study other worlds
Since the first world outside our solar system was confirmed in 1995, astronomers have searched for other planets orbiting sun-like stars. Because these worlds are so far away, space-based telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope have dramatically enhanced their planet-hunting capabilities, and the James Webb Space Telescope makes more such discoveries almost inevitable.
Webb will allow for unprecedented views into these distant planets. "With the James Webb Space Telescope, we can explore the chemical makeup of the atmosphere of other worlds — and if there are signs in it that we can only explain by life," Kaltenegger said.
There are 70 planets scheduled for study in Webb's first year alone. Already, Webb captured the signature of water, along with previously undetected evidence of clouds and haze, in the atmosphere of WASP-96 b — a giant and hot gas planet that orbits a distant star like our sun.
"While the Hubble Space Telescope has analysed numerous exoplanet atmospheres over the past two decades, capturing the first clear detection of water in 2013, Webb's immediate and more detailed observation marks a giant leap forward in the quest to characterize potentially habitable planets beyond Earth," NASA said.
Kaltenegger is part of a team that will dedicate 200 hours of Webb's telescope time in its first year to study faraway places, including worlds circling Trappist-1 — a cool, dim star 40 light-years from Earth.
"It is an amazing time in our exploration of the cosmos," Kaltenegger said, adding, "Are we alone? This amazing space telescope is the first-ever tool that collects enough light for us to start figuring this fundamental question out." | https://www.businessinsider.co.za/james-webb-hunt-for-distant-worlds-some-may-harbor-life-2022-7 | 2022-07-16T10:39:29Z | https://www.businessinsider.co.za/james-webb-hunt-for-distant-worlds-some-may-harbor-life-2022-7 | false | 3 |
Episode 128: The international police forces on the trail of the Kinahan cartel
THE US Sanctions on the Kinahan organised crime group and the $5million rewards for the capture of the 'Dapper Don', Christy Kinahan Snr and his criminal sons, Daniel and Christopher Jnr, has been the peak point in the fight by law enforcement against their global cartel.
But how do police try to take down a mafia and what does the involvement of the powerful United States mean? How will a piece of legislation passed by Barack Obama in 2011 actually affect the billion dollar empire of the Kinahans?
Nicola Tallant talks with Roy McComb, the one time head of Organised Crime for the PSNI in Northern Ireland and the former Deputy Director at the National Crime Agency in the UK. He reveals how police face down the monster of an international drug cartel like the Kinahans and tells how they came into the sights of the US authorities.

The authority has still not received all evaluated sheets
New research shows the loss of the male sex chromosome as many men age causes the heart muscle to scar and can lead to deadly heart failure. The finding may help explain why men die, on average, several years younger than women.
UVA researcher Kenneth Walsh, PhD, says the new discovery suggests that men who suffer Y chromosome loss estimated to include 40 per cent of 70-year-olds may particularly benefit from an existing drug that targets dangerous tissue scarring. The drug, he suspects, may help counteract the harmful effects of chromosome loss effects that may manifest not just in the heart but in other parts of the body as well.
On average, women live five years longer than men in the United States. The new finding, Walsh estimates, may explain nearly four of the five-year difference.
"Particularly past age 60, men die more rapidly than women. It's as if they biologically age more quickly," said Walsh, the director of UVA's Hematovascular Biology Center. "There are more than 160 million males in the United States alone. The years of life lost due to the survival disadvantage of maleness is staggering. This new research provides clues as to why men have shorter lifespans than women."
While women have two X chromosomes, men have an X and a Y. But many men begin to lose their Y chromosome in a fraction of their cells as they age. This appears to be particularly true for smokers. The loss occurs predominantly in cells that undergo rapid turnover, such as blood cells. (Loss of the Y chromosome does not occur in male reproductive cells, so it is not inherited by the children of men who exhibit Y chromosome loss.) Scientists previously observed that men who suffer Y chromosome loss are more likely to die at a younger age and suffer age-associated maladies such as Alzheimer's disease. Walsh's new research, however, is believed to be the first hard evidence that chromosome loss directly causes harmful effects on men's health.
ALSO READ:
Walsh, of UVA's Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Robert M. Berne Cardiovascular Research Center, and his team used cutting-edge CRISPR gene-editing technology to develop a special mouse model to better understand the effects of Y chromosome loss in the blood. They found that the loss accelerated age-related diseases, made the mice more prone to heart scarring and led to earlier death. This wasn't the result of just inflammation, the scientists determined. Instead, the mice suffered a complex series of responses in the immune system, leading to a process referred to as fibrosis throughout the body. This tug-of-war within the immune system, the researchers believe, may accelerate disease development.
The scientists also looked at the effects of Y chromosome loss in human men. They conducted three analyses of data compiled from the UK Biobank, a massive biomedical database, and found that Y chromosome loss was associated with cardiovascular disease and heart failure. As chromosome loss increased, the scientists found, so did the risk of death.
The findings suggest that targeting the effects of Y chromosome loss could help men live longer, healthier lives. Walsh notes that one potential treatment option might be a drug, pirfenidone, that has already been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a form of lung scarring. The drug is also being tested for the treatment of heart failure and chronic kidney disease, two conditions for which tissue scarring is a hallmark. Based on his research, Walsh believes that men with Y chromosome loss could respond particularly well to this drug, and other classes of antifibrotic drugs that are being developed, though more research will be needed to determine that.
At the moment, doctors have no easy way to determine which men suffer Y chromosome loss. Walsh's collaborator Lars A. Forsberg, of Uppsala University in Sweden, has developed an inexpensive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, like those used for Covid-19 testing, that can detect Y chromosome loss, but the test is largely confined to his and Walsh's labs. Walsh, however, can foresee that changing: "If interest in this continues and it's shown to have utility in terms of being prognostic for men's disease and can lead to personalized therapy, maybe this becomes a routine diagnostic test," he said.
"The DNA of all our cells inevitably accumulate mutations as we age. This includes the loss of the entire Y chromosome within a subset of cells in men. Understanding that the body is a mosaic of acquired mutations provides clues about age-related diseases and the aging process itself," said Walsh, a member of UVA's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics. "Studies that examine Y chromosome loss and other acquired mutations have great promise for the development of personalized medicines that are tailored to these specific mutations."

Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Frenkie de Jong WILL go on Barca tour, new away kit launched, Martinez latest – updates
FRENKIE DE JONG is heading on Barcelona's pre-season tour - despite Manchester United agreeing a deal with the club for the midfielder.
De Jong, 25, is determined to stay at the club regardless of the fact that a £72million deal has been agreed for him.
Christian Eriksen IS heading to United though, after the free agent signed on with Erik ten Hag.
The Danish magician rejected an extension deal with Brentford to make the switch to Old Trafford this summer.
Meanwhile, there remains a huge stumbling block in Manchester United's bid to sign Frenkie de Jong: he doesn't want to leave Barcelona.
That is despite Manchester United agreeing a £63million initial fee with the Catalan club for the Dutch midfielder, 25.

De Jong chills with Depay
United target Frenkie de Jong took time to unwind from his transfer saga by taking a boat trip with Old Trafford flop Memphis Depay.
Both players are tipped to leave Barcelona this summer with the club looking to balance the books in order to register new signings.
New away shirt looking fresh
If Erik Ten Hag's team are anywhere near as good as the new kits, they will win something this year.
Clean and good looking shirt but most importantly, iconic colouring for the Man Utd away.

United receive De Jong blow
Man United chief Joan Laporta has revealed that Frenkie de Jong WILL travel to the United States for pre-season despite ongoing transfer talks with Manchester United.
De Jong, 25, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer.
United have reportedly had a £71.5million bid accepted by the La Liga giants for the Dutchman, but he is eager to stay at Camp Nou.
And while all parties involved are still unclear about his future, Laporta has confirmed that he will continue his club duties by travelling with the rest of the squad to the US.
On Friday, he said: “It’s not true that we are forced to sell Frenkie de Jong, this is not correct.
“Frenkie’s trip to the US will be decided by Xavi. I understand that Frenkie will be on the US tour.”
Man Utd wonderkid Zidane Iqbal
Zidane Iqbal is the new name on Manchester United fans' lips.
The talented attacking midfielder, 19, was superb against Liverpool in a preseason friendly in Thailand this week.
And showed flashes of his talent in the win against Melbourne yesterday.
It followed his first-team debut last year, in the 1-1 draw against Young Boys in the Champions League.
With a name like 'Zidane', the Iraqi Under-23s international always had massive boots to fill.
Manchester-born Iqbal joined United in 2012 - at the age of just nine - and is well on his way to becoming a superstar.
Defensive stats for Martinez
With Lisandro Martinez all but confirmed as part of Erik ten Hag's squad - the stats suggest he could be the answer to Manchester United's defensive woes.
With two great pre-season results so far - 4-0 vs Liverpool and 4-1 vs Melbourne - there are still questions marks over their defence following a shocking 2021-22 season.
The Argentinian ace, 24, is a ball-playing rock and exactly what the Dutch chief needs.
And the stats suggest the defender, who worked under Ten Hag in Holland, is the perfect fit the new-look squad.
More on Martinez
Lisandro Martinez is set for a medical at Manchester United.
He could join United's pre-season tour of Australia over the weekend after completing his medical checks.
The 24-year-old is a ball-playing centre-back and exactly what Ten Hag needs, with stats showing he could be the answer to United's defensive woes.
Martinez may not be the final former Ajax star to head to Old Trafford this summer with Ten Hag desperate to land Frenkie de Jong too.
Martinez flies in for medical
Lisandro Martinez has boarded a private jet heading for England with the defender set for a medical at Manchester United.
The Ajax centre-back will link up with his former boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford after snubbing a move to Arsenal.
Argentine Martinez will become Ten Hag's third signing of the summer after United finally agreed a £42million fee with the Dutch champions.
Martinez posted a picture on board a private jet heading for Manchester alongside his agent Christian Bragarnik after being spotted by fans at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.
Morning Man Utd fans
Manchester United have approached Lens over an £8million swoop for Jonathan Clauss but face competition from Chelsea, according to reports.
The Blues have been long-term admirers of the Lens right-back and scouted him throughout the 2021-22 season.
However, United have already approached Ligue 1 side Lens over an £8m swoop, according to the Evening Standard.
Elsewhere, Manchester United have signed Christian Eriksen on a three-year deal.
The club announced the signing of the free agent while in Melbourne on a pre-season tour.

Finally, Man United chief Joan Laporta has revealed that Frenkie de Jong WILL travel to the United States for pre-season despite ongoing transfer talks with Manchester United.
And while all parties involved are still unclear about his future, Laporta has confirmed that he will continue his club duties by travelling with the rest of the squad to the US.
On Friday, he said: “It’s not true that we are forced to sell Frenkie de Jong, this is not correct.
“Frenkie’s trip to the US will be decided by Xavi. I understand that Frenkie will be on the US tour.”
Rashford reveals Liverpool hate
Marcus Rashford has revealed his disdain for Liverpool and Man City.
He said on Lebron James' The Shop: ""Yeah, Liverpool. I don't like Liverpool. City. Liverpool have history, so it's a bit more bitter.
"But with City, it's like you don't like them, but you don't have a massive reason not to like them. You just grow up, and it's two Manchester sides. One wears light blue; one wears red."
Inter still keen on Dybala
Man United may have cooled their interest in Paulo Dybala, but the same can't be said of Inter Milan.
The Serie A side are still reportedly keen on snagging the ex-Juventus forward, despite bringing in Romelu Lukaku, according to TMW.
They claim Inter will swoop for the striker in the next few days, although Roma are said to be in pole position to land him, closely followed by Napoli.
However, Inter will have to move fast to land Dybala who's growing increasingly frustrated about his future, it was added.
Rashford on racial abuse
Marcus Rashford has given his verdict on the racial abuse he faced after missing a penalty in the Euro 2020 final.
The United striker said when asked if white players would've been treated the same on Lebron James' The Shop: "Honestly no, that's just the way I feel.
"I don't think it would have been the same. But at the same time, I don't think people would have noticed.
"I feel they just reacted to how they felt, whether it was because it was three black guys or three white guys."
United receive De Jong blow
Man United chief Joan Laporta has revealed that Frenkie de Jong WILL travel to the United States for pre-season despite ongoing transfer talks with Manchester United.
De Jong, 25, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer.

Ronaldo makes Buffon's top list
Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon has placed Cristiano Ronaldo on the list of best players he's gone up against in his career.
The 44-year-old's come up against the best of the best during his illustrious career.
And the Parma stopper admitted that Ronaldo is one of the few non-Italian players who have given him a headache on the pitch.
Bickering PSG duo Mbappe and Neymar were also added to the elite collective by Buffon.
He said to Cult of Calcio after declaring the names of native counterparts: "As for foreigners, I’d say Thuram, Neymar, Mbappé, CR7, and Ibra.”
Nani gets classy gift
Man United legend Nani has revealed his joy after being presented with a touching tribute by the club on their pre-season tour.
Nani signed for United's opponents Melbourne Victory just three days prior.
And before the match proceeded, the Portuguese legend was handed a 2022/23 United shirt with the No17 on it, which is the same digits he donned during his Old Trafford career.
Nani was overwhelmed by the gesture and beamed to the backdrop of raucous applause: "That was fantastic. What a great feeling. It's amazing when you can feel the warmth from the fans and it's nice when you come on a field and see some old teammates.
"All the good memories at Man United came into my head, makes me feel like I'm missing old times, but you need to look forward.
"I just want to wish all the success for the new coach, the new team, and I hope the club can get back on the position where they belong and start winning the trophies we are missing so much."
Ten Hag gives goal explanantion
Man United "folded like a deck of cards" when they conceded a goal in their 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory.
The Red Devils followed up their 4-0 drubbing of Liverpool by scoring another quartet against the Australian outfit during pre-season.
But their hopes of a clean sheet were wiped when Melbourne bagged a goal.
And the entire United team were blasted by Ten Hag for the momentary lapse of concentration.
Ten Hag said: "I don't want to talk about individuals because I think it was from the start high up the pitch, the wrong choices.
"And then it ended up like a pack of cards. It ended up with a goal against, but it was not one individual, it was more the team who make mistakes."
United's urge for Serge crushed
Manchester United target Serge Gnabry is set to sign a new four-year deal with Bayern Munich, according to reports.
Gnabry, 27, has been heavily linked with a move away from Germany this summer.
He recently turned down a contract offer from the Bundesliga champions worth around £200,000-a-week.
As a result, he has just one year remaining on his current deal.
However, following negotiations with club chiefs, the winger has now had a change of heart.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Gnabry is expected to sign a new four-year deal in the next few days.
How United can miss Champions League
Man United's lack of transfer activity this summer could cost them a place in the Champions League next season.
The Red Devils have just managed to sign Christian Eriksen, and are trying to bring in Frenkie de Jong plus Lisandro Martinez.
However, the elite European competition could elude the Prem titans if they bring in the aforementioned duo, or any other fresh faces for that matter.
That's according to Paul Merson, who told Sportskeeda: "I’ll put Manchester United in the reckoning for a place in the top four because they are a massive club.
"But they haven’t done enough business at this point in time to stand a chance of securing UEFA Champions League football, so it should be between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal."
Martial tipped for United comeback
Anthony Martial has been tipped to turn things around at Man United by new boss Erik ten Hag.
Martial was shipped out on loan to Sevilla last season and was expected to leave on a permanent basis.
However, he's been a part of United's pre-season squad, and Ten Hag reckons the winger can come good with the right focus and discipline.
Ten Hag said: "I'm sure he can come back even better.
"I think when he has the right focus and the right motivation and he works hard he will have production because he is a good player.
"I say when he has the right focus and every day delivers his max then he will have production and it's up to him."
Ten Hag gets thumbs up
Scott McTominay has revealed that the Man United squad are really happy with new boss Erik ten Hag.
He told United's media: "Whenever you’ve got a new manager, there’s a lot of new ideas, a lot of things we have to take on board in terms of what the manager wants from us, a slightly different formation as well and different ideas, which is important.
“We need to dial into them, and I think tonight is a good test in terms of the team that we’re playing against.
“They played a little bit deeper, it’s harder to break down, [so we have to come up with] different ideas and ways that we can get into their box and create scoring opportunities.
“Everyone’s so, so happy with the new coach in terms of the detail and attention to the work that we’re doing, and everyone’s so fit now. And we can get fitter, I can get fitter, the whole team can, which is obviously a benefit for the future as well.”
Eriksen 'is a leader'
Man United have gained a leader in the form of Christian Eriksen.
That's the view of Red Devils' Football Director, John Murtough, who made the claim after Eriksen finalised completed his move to Old Trafford.
Murtough said: “Christian has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe throughout his career. It is no surprise that he had so many options this summer, so we are really happy that he was convinced that this is the right club for him.
“In addition to his outstanding technique, Christian will add valuable experience and leadership skills to the squad, and we are looking forward to seeing the benefits of these qualities on the pitch this coming season and beyond.”
Eriksen on Ten Hag
New Man United signing Christian Eriksen can't wait to link up with club boss Erik ten Hag.
He said after the free transfer was wrapped up: "I have seen Erik’s work at Ajax and know the level of detail and preparation that he and his staff put into every day. It is clear that he is a fantastic coach.
“Having spoken with him and learned more about his vision and the way he wants the team to play, I am even more excited for the future.
“I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey.”
Eriksen speaks on United move
Christian Eriksen has revealed his joy over joining 'special' club Man United.
The Danish midfielder said after completing his switch, via United's website: "Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started.
"I have had the privilege of playing at Old Trafford many times, but to do it in the red shirt of United will be an amazing feeling." | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/9038719/man-utd-transfer-news-live-frenkie-de-jong-latest-away-kit/ | 2022-07-16T10:53:07Z | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/9038719/man-utd-transfer-news-live-frenkie-de-jong-latest-away-kit/ | true | 4 |

New images revealed in a new report show that the damage to the main mirror of the James Webb Telescope from a small meteor strike in May is worse than initially thought.
Paper published on Tuesday Academic Prepress Server arxiv.org He revealed in detail about Webb’s performance while the telescope was operating that most of the minute meteor strikes on the large Webb mirror caused minor damage, but the strike in mid-May left the telescope with permanent damage.
“The impact of a single minor meteorite that occurred from May 22-24, 2022 UT exceeded previous staging predictions for damage caused by a single minor meteorite leading to further investigation and modeling by the JWST Project,” the report states.
Unlike the Hubble Space Telescope, which encloses the primary mirror the telescope uses to collect light and focus light on scientific instruments in a cylindrical shell, the Webb’s 6.5-meter split mirror is space-exposed. But looking at Webb’s orbit around Lagrange Point 2, or L2, a region of space about a million miles from Earth, scientists only expected Webb to encounter a small, potentially dangerous meteor once a month.
During the commissioning period from late January to June, during which ground controllers calibrated, aligned, and tested Webb’s mirrors and instruments, the primary mirror was subjected to six precise meteor strikes.
Of those, five did little damage, causing less than 1 nm of root mean square (RMS) wavefront error, which is a technical way of describing how much a Webb mirror distorts the starlight the mirror collects. Most of the distortion added by those five strokes outside the mirror can be corrected, as the 18 hex segments that make up its face can be adjusted individually and precisely.
But the sixth hit, hitting a mirror clip called C3, did more damage that could be fully rectified. This micro-meteor strike raised the wavefront error of the sector from 56 nm to 178 nm after correction by modulating the section.
Since each mirror clip is adjustable, the damage to the C3 segment can be compensated and did not affect the accuracy of the underlying Webb mirror as a whole, according to the report. The overall wavefront error of the whole mirror increased by about 9 nm due to the hit.
“It is not yet clear whether the May 2022 hit of Section C3 is a rare event (i.e. an unlucky early strike of a small, high-kinetic meteor that may statistically occur only once every several years),” or whether it might be The telescope is more susceptible to damage from micrometeorites than previous launch modeling.”
The report goes on to note that the Webb project team is considering measures to mitigate future micrometeorite strikes, such as determining how long the telescope can be pointed in known directions to expose the mirror to a greater likelihood of micrometeorite strikes.
Maintaining the long-term health of the Webb Telescope is a top priority for NASA and astronomers everywhere.
After more than 20 years and $10 billion in development, the space telescope was launched atop an Ariane 5 rocket on Christmas Day. This launch was more accurate than expected, providing ample motivation for Webb that he would use to correct its trajectory after launch, and nearly doubled the observatory’s expected operational life—as long as space rocks didn’t spoil its optics.
“Before launch, the JWST was required to carry a thruster for a minimum of 10.5 years of mission life,” the report read. “Now that JWST is in orbit around L2, it’s clear that the remaining propellant will last more than 20 years of the mission’s life.”

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Many Somalis are reacting with horror — and a sense of understanding — at British runner Mo Farah's tale of being trafficked to Britain as a child and forced to look after other children.
Olympic champion Farah was born in present-day Somaliland, a territory by the Gulf of Aden that has asserted independence from the Horn of Africa nation of Somalia. In a BBC documentary aired earlier this week Farah revealed how as a boy of 8 or 9 he was separated from his family and trafficked from neighboring Djibouti to the UK under a new name under which he eventually ran for glory.
Here, in the Somali capital Mogadishu, those who have heard of Farah's account express sadness for what he went through as a child forced to work in servitude. But they also point out that he was not alone in facing exploitation.
Conflict, climate change and economic collapse are displacing record numbers of people around the world, pushing more and more migrants into the hands of criminals who profit by smuggling them into Britain, the European Union and the U.S.
Somalis, like their neighbors in Ethiopia and Eritrea, are often among the desperate — people fleeing conflict and hunger in hopes of safety and a better life. Convinced they have little to lose, the young, in particular, risk their lives on flimsy boats organized by human traffickers who get them across the English Channel to Britain.
Those who can afford it pay thousands of dollars to reach countries where they hope to find jobs and security. Others fall prey to criminals who force them into sex work, drug crimes and domestic servitude.
Wealthier countries lack robust policies to respond to this complicated situation. Britain has welcomed refugees from Ukraine, for example, while proposing to deport asylum seekers from other places to Rwanda. While Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the Rwanda plan will break the business model of criminals who smuggle people across the Channel in inflatable boats, immigrant activists are suing over a plan they describe as illegal and inhumane.
Farah, who represented Britain at three straight Summer Olympics starting in 2000, is a rare success story. Many others trying to escape poverty, hunger and violence in countries such as Somalia don't get so lucky — the reason many activists here say efforts must be put into supporting local governments to eradicate the many reasons people wish to go.
“It is certainly sad that Mo Farah had such a bad experience as a boy," said Ahmed Dini, who runs the Mogadishu-based children’s rights group Peace-Line. “It has become evident that there are many contributing factors to child trafficking, such as poverty, a lack of adequate education, and insufficient security.”
Farah still has family members — including his mother and two brothers — living on a farm near Hargeisa, the Somaliland capital. He said in the BBC film that his father was killed during unrest when the boy was 4.
In the documentary, produced by the BBC and Red Bull Studios, Farah said that when he left Africa he thought he was going to Europe to live with relatives and had a piece of paper with the contact details. But the woman he ended up with tore his papers and took him to an apartment in west London where he was forced to care for her children.
Farah said his fortunes in Britain changed when he was finally allowed to attend school. A teacher who was interviewed for the documentary recalled a 12-year-old boy who appeared “unkempt and uncared for,” was “emotionally and culturally alienated” and spoke little English.
Farah eventually told his story to a physical education instructor. The teacher contacted local officials, who arranged for a Somali family to take him in as a foster child. He soon blossomed on the track.
Anti-slavery advocates say Farah is the most prominent person to come forward as a victim of modern-day slavery, a crime that is often hidden because it occurs behind closed doors and inflicts such trauma on its victims.
Now that a man of such celebrity has spoken of his experience, there can no longer be any doubt about the horror of child servitude even among ordinary Somalis who otherwise would find his account “unusual,” said Bashir Abdi, an academic based in Mogadishu.
“Children consistently face abuses, but the story this renowned athlete revealed has captured the attention of many people, including Somalis," he said. “We often hear of child exploitations and I believe that significant (numbers of) Somali children go through domestic violence and abuses, but little is exposed to the public.”
Amina Ali, a stay-home mother of four in Mogadishu, told The Associated Press that it was tough for her to hear the story of a 9-year-old boy “so weak and helpless forced to clean house and change the diapers of other kids.”
“As a mother, I felt sadness for him once I have listened,” she said. "Praise be to Allah that he is no longer under those circumstances. However, he is now at some point where he can reveal his story and I wish those (who) committed that abuse to be brought before justice one day.”

BULAWAYO (AFP): Hosts Zimbabwe and the Netherlands filled the last two places for the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia by winning their qualifying tournament semi-finals in Bulawayo on Friday.
Zimbabwe beat Papua New Guinea by 27 runs after posting 199-5 in 20 overs, then restricting their opponents to 172-8.
The Netherlands defeated the United States by seven wickets. Replying to an American total of 138 in 19.4 overs, the Dutch scored 139-3 with six balls to spare.
Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, England, India, Ireland, Namibia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Scotland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates and the West Indies had already secured places.
The 16-team tournament runs from October 16 to November 13 with Australia defending a title they won in the UAE last year.
Winning the toss and opting to bat, Zimbabwe clicked with six batsman led by Wesley Madhevere scoring at least 22 runs.
Madhevere top scored with 42, including five fours, and added 63 runs for the second wicket with captain Craig Ervine.
Papua New Guinea, who scraped into the semi-finals on net run rate after winning only one of three group matches, were close to matching the Zimbabwe run rate for much of the innings with Tony Ura starring.
But when Ura fell off the final ball of the 14th, after notching 66, including five sixes and four fours off 35 balls, the island nation lost momentum.
Blessing Muzarabani was the most succesful Zimbabwe bowler, taking two wickets at the expense of 24 runs in four overs.
Zimbabwe, who appointed former star batsman Dave Houghton as coach just before the tournament, will be making a fifth appearance at the T20 finals.
In the other semi-final, captain Monank Patel top scored for the USA with 32 and Steven Taylor, their star batsman in the group stage, contributed 26.
Bas de Leede and Paul van Meekeren took two wickets each, but Fred Klaassen, who captured five wickets against Uganda on Thursday, had a disappointing 0-40 four-over stint.
After impressing with the ball, De Leede did even better with the bat, striking an unbeaten 91, including three sixes and nine fours.
Captain and wicketkeeper Scott Edwards weighed in with a run-a-ball 26 to ensure a fourth consecutive appearance at the T20 World Cup tournament for the Dutch.
In placement play-offs, there were victories for Uganda over Jersey and Hong Kong against Singapore, the only team not win so far in Bulawayo. | https://thefrontierpost.com/zimbabwe-netherlands-qualify-for-twenty20-world-cup/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=zimbabwe-netherlands-qualify-for-twenty20-world-cup | 2022-07-16T11:20:44Z | https://thefrontierpost.com/zimbabwe-netherlands-qualify-for-twenty20-world-cup/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=zimbabwe-netherlands-qualify-for-twenty20-world-cup | false | 9 |
Briefing the media after a cabinet meeting, Shinde said that Aurangabad will be renamed as 'Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar' and Osmanabad shall be rechristened as 'Dharashiv'
Eknath Shinde (R), Devendra Fadnavis
The Eknath Shinde-led government in Maharashtra on Saturday gave a cabinet approval to rename Aurangabad and Osmanabad cities as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Dharashiv respectively.
The decision to rename these cities was taken in the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government's last cabinet meeting chaired by the then chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on June 29, just before he resigned.
However, Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who were sworn in on June 30, had said the Thackeray-led dispensation's decision to rename these places was illegal as it was taken by it after the governor had asked it to prove majority in the state Legislative Assembly.
During the cabinet meeting chaired by Thackeray last month, Aurangabad was renamed as Sambhajinagar, but the Shinde government on Saturday added 'Chhatrapati' prefix to it.
Also read: Maha CM restores Emergency pension scheme scrapped by Uddhav Thackeray govt
At present Shinde and Fadnavis are the only two members in the cabinet as its expansion is still pending.
A statement from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said the minutes of the June 29 cabinet meeting (chaired by Thackeray) were approved by the new government (led by Shinde) at the cabinet meeting held on Saturday. The minutes had come for approval before the new government, which had directed the administration to re-submit the proposal, it said.
"The fresh proposal approved by the cabinet today will be sent to the Centre, after which the renaming of both the cities will be done at the divisional, district, taluka, municipal corporation and council levels," it said.
The cabinet also approved the decision to name the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport after farmer leader D B Patil. This decision was also taken by the Thackeray-led cabinet last month.
The CMO statement said the administration was asked to submit a fresh proposal about the airport's name, which was approved on Saturday.
The Navi Mumbai airport is being developed as a greenfield airport spread over 1,160 hectares by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) under public-private partnership.
The MVA government comprising the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress collapsed on June 29 after Thackeray resigned as chief minister, days after Shinde raised a banner of revolt against the Sena leadership. Shinde took oath as the chief minister the next day.

Experimental UK pop proggers Kitten Pyramid have released a video for brand new track Jalapeños, which you can watch below.
Jalapeños is taken from the band's upcoming new album and short film KIDDO, which will be released later this year. The video for Jalapenos pulls no punches, and imagines a future (2050) in which the last remaining meat-eaters are forced underground, to defend themselves from hails of jalapeno bullets from The Vegan Army.
“I believe eating meat will one day be a thing of the past, to be seen as something as horrific as slavery, daft as smoking or as bizarre as driving a fossil-fuelled car," explains Kitten mainman Scott Milligan. "When there are more vegans than meat eaters, I do think it could potentially get quite ugly. I took the idea to the extreme with a ‘2050, War of the Vegans’ where meat eaters are scrambling to defend themselves from Jalapeno bullets.
"This was intended as an anthem for the meat eaters, with a kids chorus calling for peace, reminding everyone to be calm and rational. ‘Don’t forget that the sun is shining’ was something my mum always used to say when I was feeling sorry for myself as a kid and I wrote the chorus at Rockfield with a bunch of 9-14yr olds that had never heard the song before, and they did amazingly well. Made our hearts swell in the mixing room!.”
Jalapeños was co-produced with Nick Brine (Oasis, Stone Roses, Ash, Teenage Fanclub, The Darkness) and Scott Milligan. Original band member Chris Baldwin (also in Paddy Considine’s band Riding the Low) plays guitar on the track alongside long-time Kitten Pyramid collaborator Andrew Griffiths of AGM Productions for orchestration.

Hampshire nature reserve fires prompt warnings
- Published
Firefighters have been tackling blazes at two nature reserves amid warnings that flames can spread easily during extreme hot weather.
Separate incidents at Warsash and Hythe on Friday involved grass and gorse, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service (HIWFRS) said.
Crews worked alongside rangers from Forestry England to combat the flames.
The fire service warned the public to take extra care if out in the countryside this weekend.
In total, HIWFRS needed 16 appliances to fight both blazes.
It said the fire at Warsash destroyed 15,000 square metres (3.7 acres) of heathland.
The fire service issued an amber wildlife alert saying the extreme heat meant the ground was hot and dry and fires could very easily spread out of control.
It asked the public not to light barbecues, campfires or bonfires in the open and to get rid of cigarettes and rubbish, including glass bottles, responsibly.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday launched an attack on the Congress alleging that Congress president Sonia Gandhi was the “driving force behind the conspiracy” to destabilise the Gujarat government and to implicate then chief minister Narendra Modi after the 2002 riots in the state. The BJP’s allegation came after the Gujarat police’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Friday claimed in an affidavit before a court in Ahmedabad that activist Teesta Setalvad was part of a “larger conspiracy” hatched by late Congress leader Ahmed Patel.

All Cork City fans were hoping the biggest cheer of the night would come during the match but instead it came at half-time and it came from one of their own.
Unfortunately, despite having a man advantage for more than 75 minutes, City couldn't get the win they needed to grab a firm grip on the first division title.
Instead they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Galway United but they are still one point clear of their automatic promotion rivals with a game in hand and they are now 19 matches unbeaten.
But the night wasn't a complete disappointment as popular fan Stewart provided everyone with a huge moment to cheer.
It came during the half-time interval when Stewart, accompanied by his work colleague Luke of Dennehy's Health and Fitness, made their way to the shed to participate in the crossbar challenge.
The objective is to hit the bar with one of your three shots from the edge of the penalty area and after Luke crashed the ball against the woodwork, it was up to Stewart to do so with his final attempt.
where many talented players have tried and failed, Stewart succeeded as he fired the ball against the underside of the bar to send the capacity crowd into raptures.
His name was then chanted from the famous end of the stadium as he produced a brilliant celebration to mark the achievement.
Maybe Cork City could do with his services up front as his accuracy produced the best moment on a huge night for the club.

HONG KONG (AP) — The Chinese gambling enclave of Macao on Saturday extended its lockdown by five days as it grapples with the biggest outbreak of the coronavirus in over two years.
Authorities said that industries and commercial companies will remain closed until July 23. The lockdown, which began July 11, had initially been set to expire Sunday.
As part of the lockdown, authorities have suspended dine-in services and ordered all residents to avoid leaving their homes unless absolutely necessary. Those who need to go out must wear KN95 masks or similar.
The city, which has a population of 680,000, recorded 31 infections on Friday. Since its latest outbreak that began June 18, the city has reported some 1,700 infections.
The government also said in a separate statement that it would allocate 10 billion patacas ($1.24 billion) as handouts for businesses affected by the outbreak.
Casinos, which are the city’s largest employers and the main income generator for the government, were initially allowed to operate in spite of the flare in cases in June but have since been ordered to close as part of the lockdown last week. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Macao-extends-lockdown-to-curb-biggest-COVID-19-17309290.php | 2022-07-16T11:54:46Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Macao-extends-lockdown-to-curb-biggest-COVID-19-17309290.php | true | 19 |

Incomplete protection walls keep Baripada on toes
Bikram Keshari Jena, secretary of Madhuban Development Committee alleged that apathy of department and poor interference of district administration has caused the delay.
Published: 16th July 2022 03:55 AM | Last Updated: 16th July 2022 06:50 AM | A+A A-
BARIPADA: RESIDENTS of eight low-lying wards of Baripada Municipality are in a state of panic as flood water started entering these areas with rivers Budhabalanga, Jarali, Sarali and Sukhajoda in spate due to incessant rains.
That the planned protection walls around Jarali, Sarali and Sukhajoda rivers are incomplete yet has not helped the matters. Started in 2016-17 with a deadline of two years, officials of Baripada Minor Irrigation Division now say they require `11 crore more to wrap up the three projects.
Bikram Keshari Jena, secretary of Madhuban Development Committee alleged that apathy of department and poor interference of district administration has caused the delay. For the three projects, Water Resources department had allocated `5.47 crore for construction of protection wall on Jarali river, `5.55 crore for Sarali river and another `4.96 crore for Sukhajoda river.
Executive engineer of Baripada Minor Irrigation Division Mahesh Prasad Patnaik asserted that at least 1,827 metre of protection wall out of 2,200 m on both sides of Jarali river has been complete. Similarly, on Sarali river, wall work on 1,925 m out of 2,450 m is finished. For Sukhajoda, 1,654 m out of 2,175 m is ready. “We are waiting approval of the `11 crore plan for second phase work to start,” Patnaik said. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2022/jul/16/incomplete-protection-walls-keep-baripada-on-toes-2477238.html | 2022-07-16T12:00:11Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2022/jul/16/incomplete-protection-walls-keep-baripada-on-toes-2477238.html | true | 1 |
Liverpool are looking to hijack Manchester United’s pursuit of Ajax winger Antony.
Antony recently enjoyed his best goalscoring season, striking 12 times in all competitions. The Brazilian winger recently broke into the national team, and his performances have attracted the interest of clubs in the Premier League.
Manchester United’s interest in Antony has been well documented, and now according to Yahoo Esportes, Liverpool are looking to hijack a deal to bring Antony to Merseyside.
The choice between Liverpool and Manchester United won’t be easy.
Talks are currently ongoing between Liverpool and Antony, with the North West club looking to bring in another forward this summer.
Manchester United are struggling to agree a deal to sign Antony, so Liverpool may be able to swoop in.
Liverpool, unfortunately for Manchester United, are currently a far more attractive prospect. The latter haven’t won a trophy in multiple years, and recently failed to qualify for the Champions League.
However, the competition for places at Liverpool is significantly tougher, meaning he may struggle to get regular minutes, whereas a move to Manchester United should see him starting every week. Also, Antony has worked with Erik ten Hag during his time at Ajax, so the decision between the two clubs won’t be easy. | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/07/16/liverpool-looking-to-hijack-manchester-uniteds-attempts-to-sign-ajax-star/ | 2022-07-16T12:11:14Z | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/07/16/liverpool-looking-to-hijack-manchester-uniteds-attempts-to-sign-ajax-star/ | false | 1 |
A mum has hit out after a brand new home was built so close to hers she says she can open her bathroom window and touch her neighbour’s wall.
Niki Caira, 35, who lives in Fife, Scotland, was left horrified when she first discovered how close the new home would be built to hers.
Fife Council agreed to allow KJJ Properties and businessman Alex Penman to build the two homes worth £350,000 despite serious concerns and objections.
But planning permission was given the go-ahead last year despite Niki and her husband Mario rejecting the proposals in 2020.
She has now put a sign outside her house which reads; ‘How will you get in your back door when our windows are open? Whilst passing please preserve our privacy by not looking in our toilet window’.
A solicitor for the developers insisted that the 1.3 metre gap between the two homes ‘of course exceeds the statutory minimum.’
But Niki says the events have also caused her to lose two stone in weight and she is now 6st 11lbs.
She has lived at the home with her children, husband and mum Mhairi for the past 16 years.
She said: ‘I’m hardly eating, I’m struggling to sleep and I’m just feeling so anxious about this whole situation.
‘I can’t stop thinking about it and the stress and upheaval is it going to cause if we have no choice but to move. I also keep thinking that this is going to decrease the value of our property.
‘It’s an eyesore and all we can see when we look out of our windows.
‘When I complained about it the builder suggested I put up a high wall to hide the property. My kids would feel like they were living in a prison with a 10ft wall surrounding them.
‘We absolutely loved our home, but now I just feel stressed every time I look out of my windows. It’s such a shame because we were all so happy living here until now.’
She told the Daily Record she was even asked by builders to close her bathroom window to allow them to erect a scaffold as there was not enough space for them to do so with it opened.
She added: ‘It’s absolutely disgraceful that this has been allowed to happen. Why did Fife Council approve this application? I don’t understand how they can think this is okay.’
Robert F MacDonald, of Robert F MacDonald Solicitors, who is acting on behalf of KJJ builders and Alex Penman, said: ‘We understand that development on adjoining land can cause feelings among neighbours to run high, however my client’s are satisfied that they have complied with all the relevant planning and building control requirements in respect of the two properties which are currently being erected at this site.
‘This is a former brown field site which had lain empty for many years. Mr and Mrs Caira had the opportunity to take part in the planning process and they expressed their views to the planning authority at that time.
‘No doubt these were taken into account by the Fife Council in reaching their decision. Mr and Mrs Caira did have the opportunity to appeal the planning decision but did not do so.
‘Slightly unusually, Mr and Mrs Caria’s property is built directly on the boundary between the two pieces of land. All the building work however has been conducted by my clients on ground owned by Mr Penman.
‘There is sufficient room between the two houses for the scaffolding to be erected, and for access to repairs to either property in future if required. We understand that during the course of the scaffolding being erected the scaffolders asked Mrs Caira if a window (which opens over land belonging to our client) could be closed slightly to enable them to erect the scaffolding.
‘The existence of the scaffolding does not prevent Mrs Caira from opening her window. Once the work has been completed there will be a 1.3 metre gap between the walls of the new build and Mr and Mrs Caira’s house, which of course exceeds the statutory minimum.’

Musician Travis Scott‘s private jet has made for quite the debacle on social media, as neither him nor his beau Kylie Jenner could decide which of their own airplanes to ride. As a result, the couple have received major backlash.
Travis first purchased a private jet in 2020 for a reported $72 million, which he has registered as Cactus Jack Airlines. And it was the star of Kylie’s latest Instagram post which was captioned: “You wanna take mine or yours?”
The couple posed in front of two private jets on her page, which was edited to a black and white filter. As they prepared to head out for a ride on Friday, they received plenty of comments accusing them of flaunting wealth.
Travis and Kylie’s private jets
Kylie uploaded a picture to her Instagram on July 15th, where she is seen cuddling Travis and Stormi, and asking which of their private jets to travel in. In just 13 hours, it garnered over five million likes from followers.
The Kardashian sister is said to have purchased the craft in 2020 for a rumored $72.8 million. Last month, Kylie took a quick 30-minute day trip to Palm Springs on her customized Bombardier Global 7500 aircraft!
Kylie’s luxury jet has 10 white leather seats embroidered with her initials, and is measured at 8 feet wide and 59.6 feet. Travis’ airplane isn’t as customised but debuted on his 29th birthday trip to Nassau in the Bahamas.
Fans react to Kylie’s recent pic
One follower penned: “Too much flaunting of your wealth when others are barely surviving!”
Another said: “Who’s plane should we pollute the earth today?”
“Maybe take neither’s and reduce your carbon footprint” was another fan’s reaction.
However, others thought Travis and Kylie were actually setting the tone for big goals they themselves want to achieve, and saw the photo as motivation.
Johnny Cyrus wrote: “his & hers – goals!!!!!”
The couple’s net worth
Kylie Jenner is now worth $900 million at the young age of 23, and is thought to be the highest paid model across the globe. She isn’t quite as rich as her sister Kim Kardashian though, with a wealth of $1 billion.
Travis Scott, on the other hand, is worth $60 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. He is also one of the highest-paid and most popular rappers in the world!

Mumbai, July 16: Mumbai City FC announced signing of Alberto Noguera. The 32-year-old joins the Islanders on a one-year contract until May 2023.
The Madrid-born midfielder came up through the ranks at Getafe before he was picked up by Atlético Madrid in July 2009, where he was instantly made the C team at the club. He was called in to train with the first team senior squad under Quique Sánchez Flores and went on to make his La Liga debut against Levante UD in 2011.
Noguera left his native Spain in 2012 to explore playing opportunities abroad. He had short stints with Blackpool in England and FC Baku in Azerbaijan. However, in the summer of 2014, he returned to Spain for stints with CF Trival Valderas, CF Fuenlabrada and Lorca FC in the Spanish third tier.
The versatile player also helped Lorca FC to get promoted to the second tier back in 2017. He then joined CD Numancia and was subsequently loaned out to Racing de Santander in the third tier till the end of the 2018/19 season.
The Spaniard made the switch to India in 2020, joining FC Goa and has been one of the most influential midfielders in the league in the last two seasons. In his time in India, Noguera has lifted the 2021 Durand Cup and has amassed 4 goals and 11 assists in the Indian Super League.
Following his signing, Alberto Noguera said, "I feel a sense of pride to be joining Mumbai City. There is ambition and hunger to win at this club and the philosophy here is to play attacking and beautiful football. I have seen it from the outside in my two years in the ISL and now I'm ready to help bring success to the club.
"Moreover, I am excited that we will be able to play in front of our fans and I personally cannot wait to experience life and football in Mumbai and in India for what it truly is. I hope I can live up to our fans' expectations and make some great memories with them."
Meanwhile, MCFC head coach Des Buckingham said, "Alberto is an excellent addition to our team and has shown consistently over recent seasons his ability to influence games in a way that will suit our style. He is a very experienced player who will also provide additional leadership to the group while allowing us to develop and adapt the way we want to play. I am delighted to have Alberto with us and I look forward to working with him."

It all seemingly happened in a flash for Observatory CEO Jae Goodman. First, on June 9, Apple TV+ announced a multiyear deal with Nike’s Waffle Iron Entertainment (WIE) to develop and produce sports films. Then on June 16, wine brand 19 Crimes released a limited-edition Martha Stewart action figure to promote their collaboration. That sparked an unpaid eight-minute segment on Today With Hoda & Jenna. On June 23, Doritos hosted a Stranger Things-branded online concert featuring Soft Cell, The Go-Go’s, and Charli XCX. And the following day, WIE launched its first podcast, Hustle Rule, narrated by Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham and based on the best-selling book by Gwendolyn Oxenham.
For the past 16 years, this has been Goodman’s mission, and he’s repeated it to anyone and any brand that would listen: The world’s leading marketers can create content and experiences that attract and engage audiences rather than interrupt and annoy them—and drive results.
This mantra has taken him from ad agencies like Wieden+Kennedy and onetime powerhouse Hal Riney to decamp for Hollywood in 2006 and join CAA to establish the talent agency giant’s in-house marketing consultancy. That eventually led to a full-fledged agency called CAA Marketing, which in 2017 spun out to become Observatory, winning industry and brand accolades along the way (including multiple Fast Company Most Innovative Companies honors).
To Goodman, those two weeks in June—which also included Observatory’s best-ever financial results and multiple Cannes Lions awards for Chipotle’s “A Future Begins” short-form animation—represented a culmination. “Despite being 16 years in the making, I don’t think we’ve ever operated on the platform to drive that thesis forward better than we are right now,” he says. “This moment.”
Goodman is taking this moment as his opportunity to find out what’s next. He’s stepping down as CEO of Observatory. “Because I saw this moment coming, it really got me thinking about how I want to spend the next 16 years, and what platform I want to be on or create in order to drive this thesis forward from here,” he says. “The hard answer to that is the only way I’ll know if there is a different platform to do that is to step away.”
Pioneering advertising as entertainment
From Red Bull’s action sports film catalog to Pfizer’s documentary on Nat Geo, the idea of branded entertainment today is commonplace. As media fragmentation has increased in the past decade and a half, brands have been forced to diversify the ways in which they’ve courted our attention.
It’s longer viable or effective to depend only on traditional paid media tools like TV and radio ads. But you know this. What you may not know is how Goodman was among a select few (including my former Ad Age editor Scott Donaton) who saw this coming long before most. If there were a Mount Rushmore of branded entertainment, Goodman would be Washington or Jefferson.
One of Goodman’s first high-profile proof points was a 2008 campaign for eBay that included a short film called “Force 1 TD,” about a group of friends who set off on an adventure to find some very special sneakers for their visually impaired friend’s miniature guide horse. Directed by Randy Krallman, it became the first-ever brand-produced film to gain acceptance into Sundance, and illustrated to both brands and filmmakers the potential of the right type of partnerships.
At the film’s live screening, Goodman says there was an audible murmur in the room when Krallman thanked eBay. “Then for all the amazing filmmakers in that room, eBay marketing exec Micky (Onvural) was the most mobbed person, with all these filmmakers wanting to know how the brand did it and how they could be involved,” he recalls.
There was a campaign for Mitchum in 2010 that launched as a contest to find the “hardest-working person in America.” It was a tie-in with the “hardest-working deodorant” and challenged people to create short films about their nominees. Revlon-owned Mitchum was in a two-year sales slump and about to be pulled off shelves in Target and Walmart. However, this campaign and the news coverage and attention it sparked—including an unpaid, unprompted endorsement from Dirty Jobs star Mike Rowe—changed its fortunes.
The contestant films were turned into a 30-minute documentary that aired on IFC and the Sundance Channel, and the campaign overall attracted 11 million video views and more than 200 million media impressions. And it got Mitchum back on the shelves.
In 2012, Goodman and Observatory created the award-winning “Back to the Start” animated short film for Chipotle that featured Willie Nelson covering Coldplay’s “The Scientist,” and ran in its entirety during the Grammys. The track was made available on iTunes, with proceeds going to the brand’s philanthropic Cultivate Foundation. It won armloads of industry awards; but more important, it was a cultural hit, garnering more than 300 million media impressions and putting Nelson’s cover at the top of the iTunes Country charts.
Observatory and Chipotle reunited this year for a 10-year follow-up called “A Future Begins,” this time featuring Grammy-winner Kacey Musgraves covering “Fix You” by Coldplay.
“Jae’s idea of branded entertainment, and his belief to never interrupt an audience but to attract and engage with them, has helped brands like Chipotle successfully educate fans on their purpose-driven initiatives,” says Chipotle CMO Chris Brandt. “While Jae was doing this in partnership with Chipotle all the way back in 2011, it has never been more relevant than it is today.”
Micky Onvural, who is now chief marketing officer at TIAA, has worked with Goodman for years, on the aforementioned eBay short film and on Bonobos #EvolveTheDefinition campaign that won YouTube’s 2018 “Ad of the Year,” though it was actually made as a side project to shooting the ads.
The brand had dozens of men in to shoot a clothing campaign when Goodman and his team suggested they set up a camera in another room and ask these men about their definition of masculinity. What resulted was a poignant look at a real, current cultural conversation that ended up with more than 10 million views within its first 24 hours online.
Onvural says that Goodman has been ahead of his time. “We first worked together when I was at eBay back in 2006, and he was advocating all the way back then for this idea of actually creating content, not advertising, that people lean into and make brands culturally relevant,” she says. “When I look back at the work we did together . . . it really stands the test of time.”
This is no retirement
To be clear, this isn’t an obituary or some sort of retirement retrospective, but rather context for why Goodman stepping away from the incredibly healthy agency he built is worth considering. When someone who predicted the future decides to try it again, one better pay attention. Linda Knight, chief creative officer at Observatory, says Goodman will still be working with the agency as a consultant, but that Observatory is firing on all cylinders.
“He’s built this incredibly strong team that knows how to do what he set out to do,” Knight says. “He saw around corners. He had a vision many years ago, and knew where this industry was headed—more content-centric campaigns—and he’s built this team and business around that idea.”
Since he said he’s stepping away to get a better perspective on where this idea of brand entertainment could be headed, I asked Goodman how he counsels brands on content right now, in 2022. The answer, which will be tough for many marketers to swallow, is patience.
“If you’re used to paying for eyeballs and getting make-goods if the TV show doesn’t deliver, or paying for engagement and performance, you can’t expect that type of immediate and direct attribution in this kind of upper-funnel activity,” he says.
At his Cannes Lions conference session in June called “Are We Doing Brand Entertainment All Wrong?” one attendee asked Goodman about effectiveness. Standing in the back was Nike CMO Dirk-Jan “DJ” van Hameren, who spoke up and echoed this call for patience, pointing out that Nike was three and a half years into creating Waffle Iron Entertainment yet audiences are only just now seeing its first projects come into the world.
With patience comes the payoff, as Nike is seeing with its WIE projects and deals, and as Bonobos saw with #EvolveTheDefinition, which Onvural says still stands as its best return-on-ad spend campaign in company history.
For Goodman, as branded entertainment experts go, he’s now a Hall of Fame free agent. “What I know is, I’ll be in a position to collaborate with Observatory. I won’t be competing with Observatory,” he says. “I can see myself in a production role, where I’m able to go deeper on individual productions alongside brand clients.”
In other words, back to the start. | https://www.fastcompany.com/90769767/brands-can-make-entertainment-as-good-as-hollywood-and-this-guy-proved-it?partner=feedburner&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feedburner+fastcompany&utm_content=feedburner | 2022-07-16T12:28:06Z | https://www.fastcompany.com/90769767/brands-can-make-entertainment-as-good-as-hollywood-and-this-guy-proved-it?partner=feedburner&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feedburner+fastcompany&utm_content=feedburner | false | 3 |

The crux of the UK prime ministerial frontrunner Rishi Sunak’s message was around honesty as he clashed with his four remaining rivals in the first televised debate of the race to replace Boris Johnson as the Conservative Party leader.
Former Chancellor Sunak, who is standing firm on his economic plan of prudency over immediate tax cuts, went head-to-head with Foreign Secretary Liz Truss over her promise to slash taxes from day one if she is elected as the new incumbent at 10 Downing Street.
Trade Minister Penny Mordaunt, among the top three candidates, also wants to cut some taxes, with Kemi Badenoch and Tom Tugendhat slightly more measured in laying out their plans over the dominant issue of the race.
"You have to be honest. Borrowing your way out of inflation isn’t a plan, it’s a fairytale", Sunak told Truss, as the Channel 4 debate on July 15 night got heated, and he rubbished her proposals and warned against an "unfunded spree" of tax cuts. All five candidates admitted Johnson had been less than honest over the Downing Street parties when asked about partygate, with Tugendhat the only candidate to reply a categorical No when asked if he trusted the outgoing Prime Minister.
A snap survey from Opinium on who performed best at the end of the 90-minute lively exchange put Tugendhat as the winner with 36 per cent of the vote, followed by Sunak on 24 per cent. Both Mordaunt and Badenoch received 12 per cent of the vote, with Truss trailing on 7 per cent. The latest betting odds analysis shows Mordaunt in the lead as the bookie favourite, followed by Sunak, Truss, Badenoch and Tugendhat.
All five candidates will clash in a television debate on July 17 before the third round of voting set on July 18, when Conservative MPs will further narrow down the field as the candidate with the least votes is knocked out of the race until only two remain. Earlier on July 15, in an online Tory party Zoom campaign event where the candidates took questions from members, Sunak declared that his biggest weakness is striving too hard for perfection.
I think you’ve got to make sure that you don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good, he said. The first British Indian politician to run for Prime Minister is seen as the favourite among Tory members of Parliament having topped the first two rounds of voting and is widely expected to be in the final two by July 21.
The leadership battle is now focussed on who would be in second place to take him on as the election widens to the UK-wide Tory membership of approximately 200,000. Among these voters, Mordaunt is seen as the current preference, but things could change as the final two candidates travel around the country for hustings to make their pitch for the Tory vote.
The winner of that postal ballot to determine who will be the next Conservative Party leader and new British Prime Minister will be known by September 5. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/rishi-sunak-plugs-for-honesty-in-first-uk-pm-race-debate-8837721.html/amp | 2022-07-16T12:29:46Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/rishi-sunak-plugs-for-honesty-in-first-uk-pm-race-debate-8837721.html/amp | false | 9 |

Testing to find the top motor
New driving licencing regulations mean towing tests are no longer needed.
Changes to driving licence rules have made it easier for drivers to tow heavier caravans. However, driver training still has a vital role in keeping new caravanners safe on the roads, according to The Camping and Caravanning Club.
Since December 16th last year, drivers who passed their test on or after January 1 1997 have been allowed to tow caravans or trailers weighing up to 3,500kg. Under the old rules these motorists were restricted to driving a car with a caravan that did not exceed 3,500kg total mass, unless they took a towing test to upgrade their licence.
Purpose of rule changes
The purpose of the change was to free-up capacity so more HGV drivers could be licenced but the easing of towing restrictions has given motorists a wider choice of caravans without the added hassle and expense of taking a test.
Drivers who took their test in 1997 or later can now legally drive every car and caravan combination that The Camping and Caravanning Club tested in the annual What Car? Tow Car Awards. Of the 30 models reviewed in 2022, just eight of the car and caravan combinations would have been legal for post-1997 drivers under the old rules.
Judges comments
The Camping and Caravanning Club’s Ian Hewlett, who was a judge for this year’s awards, said: “Caravanners who passed their driving test since the start of 1997 now have a broader choice of cars and caravans than before.
"However, under the old rules these drivers had to take a ‘B+E’ towing test before they were entitled to tow heavier combinations. Training for the test will have improved driver skills, and the test itself was useful in weeding out drivers who had not yet reached a safe standard, and so we believe courses still have an important role to play in road safety.”
To help drivers improve their towing skills and keep them safe on the roads, The Camping and Caravanning Club runs various towing courses.
The Confidence Builder course is ideal for new caravanners or anyone returning to towing after a long break. Drivers have a one-to-one session with an expert instructor who will assess the driver’s abilities and provide constructive feedback.
Drivers also learn about safe caravan loading, levelling the caravan, how to hitch and unhitch, and manoeuvring through a slalom course. The Confidence Builder costs £160 for club members and £185 for non-members.
Ian added: “Towing safely takes knowledge and experience. Drivers can learn how to tow properly on one of our courses, without the added pressure of having to take a test. If you’re going to invest thousands in a tow car and caravan, £160 to learn how to tow safely has to be money well spent.”
For more information about the club, its courses, and how to tow safely, visit www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk site. To read more about Tow Car Awards 2022 visit www.whatcar.com/awards/tow-car-awards site.
The rules are complex but, broadly speaking, if you passed your driving test on or after January 1 1997 …
Old rules: These were more restrictive in terms of towing, and heavily limited the choice of caravan for those who passed their test after 1996 to a total car and caravan weight of 3,500kg. You would have needed to pass a test for higher limits under the old rules.
New rules: You’re now allowed to tow trailers up to 3,500kg Maximum Authorised Mass. This assumes the car is a legal and capable match for the caravan or trailer (different rules apply to Northern Ireland driving licences).
Licence issued before January 1 1997: Nothing has changed for drivers who passed their driving test before January 1 1997.
The Tow Car Awards 2022
The Camping and Caravanning Club has teamed up with What Car? to choose the best tow cars for every need and budget, towing Adria caravans. These are the cars that came out on top.
Some 30 new cars were entered for testing with the prices ranging from just over £20,000 to more than £75,000.
The judging panel this year tested more hybrids and electric vehicles than ever before in the award programme’s 15-year history, which reflects the shift away from cars that solely rely upon an internal combustion engine. More than 20 per cent of this year’s field was made up of pure electric vehicles.
Putting vehicles to the test
Testing was carried out by matching eligible cars to caravans weighted to 85 per cent of the car’s kerb weight or its legal towing limit, depending on which was lower. They were then ballasted to simulate driving with passengers and luggage.
What Car?’s expert road testers were responsible for the most extreme manoeuvres, designed to show which tow cars will stay under control in an emergency.
Tow Car Awards Judge Ian Hewlett said: “This year’s field was packed with great tow cars, but everyone on the judging panel agreed that the Audi Q5 was the best all-rounder.
“It’s vital that motorists match the right car with their caravan, and our awards programme gives drivers excellent insight into the performance of the latest vehicles on the market.”

Liz Migot: From going blind and losing memory in 2010 to being a KU master’s student in 2022
In 2010, Liz Migot lost her sight at the peak of her life. She was 24 and in third year at Kenyatta University. Her world literally crashed and she thought her life was over. Plus, she was also told that she will never walk again. This sent her into a serious depression.
However with the help of medical personnel and support from family she dusted herself up and went ahead to clear her degree course. She is now in the final stages of finishing her Master’s. Although still blind, she regained her mobility and can even jog in open spaces. Below is her story.
“I remember waking up on that day and the doctor informing me that I had been unconscious for two weeks. What disturbed me was that I could hear the doctor’s voice but could not see him.
After that, I was taken to Kikuyu Hospital and it was here that I heard the doctor say that I would never see again. It felt like someone else was being given that news and not me. I just went numb. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me.
Before the collapse that led to my loss of sight, I had been having unending migraines for close to seven months, which at times left me with blurred vision.
The migraines had become so bad that they had started affecting my memory to the point that I would forget which was our house. Initially when I would be taken to hospitals like the Aga Khan or Loresho, I thought that this was just one of those illnesses that you have and then you get well and move on with your life.
But this time it was different. Doctors were resolute, saying there was no medical intervention that could be made for me to see again. After so many scans and medical check-ups, it had to dawn on me that no medication could bring back my eyesight.
I slipped into the second phase of depression. I was told that the first face of depression was when I woke up in hospital and could not see.
After I was discharged from hospital – which was after about one month – I still did not have to deal with my eyesight because my memory was completely off.
This kind of illness affects not only the patient, but it goes all round. Everyone at home had their share of stress as my sister got to a point that she was even admitted in the same hospital while my brothers who were in high school had their performance dip. My dad lost so much weight while my mum had to be given a compassionate leave.
When visitors came home, there was tension all around and all they did was to cry over what had befallen me. For me, I was trying to digest everything in the dark space I was in. Here I was, one minute the top student at the university with grades, dreams and goals and the next minute I can’t talk, walk, remember or move any part of my body.
Things were not improved by the fact that doctors, after further analysis, reminded my parents that I will never see, work, capability or even have a memory of anything. They told my parents that all my internal organs were failing and that even if the hospital tried its best, there was nothing that they would do for me that could actually help. One day when my parents came back home with some of my items and when they entered the house, my siblings started crying thinking that I had died.
However, God is a God of miracles and after about two months I started gaining memory. Not fully, but baby steps. I could now remember that people walk, clean themselves on their own and that I used to do all this on my own. Although my memory was getting back, my speech was still sluggish.
Just when things were getting better, another bout of depression set in and this one just hit so hard. I started having insomnia, scary thoughts like I wanted to die and not ever wake up and I was always looking out for ways that I could kill myself. I had the thought but the problem was that I was never left alone, which made it hard for me to execute my plan.
Then one day it hit me that I had to pick myself up because I knew nobody would do it for me and it was now almost a year with no change. I was just blind, not working, not talking. I was done feeling down and I wanted to get up. I wanted to feel better. I had to overcome what was happening for my parents and siblings’ sake.
As much as I did not see the need for me to be alive, I had to stay alive because of my parents and siblings. I quickly acknowledged that I could not do all the fighting on my own and that I needed a greater power, Jesus, even though I admit that I didn’t know him that well. I was sure he was the only one who could help me. I had at this moment lost faith in the medicines that I was being given as I could not see any positive result after using them. I was even using some anti-depression medication which was also not helping either.
I went through physiotherapy sessions with the help of my siblings and an uncle and in a short while, I was able to walk. It was not a quick affair and I had to learn to take slow steps like a baby starting all over again. I was elated.
In 2016, the university recalled me to school and this was a huge test because of the fear I had developed. How was I going to study? How would I even survive in the school without my parents or siblings or even just one person known to me?
As a coping mechanism, I kept off every negativity to the point that I was over-encouraged (if there is such a thing) I only kept friends who believed in what I believed in and I did not find it hard to let go of the ones who contradicted what I believed in — which is: regardless of how things look like, it shall be well.
In the meantime, God became my best and only friend and we would always talk as if he was physically there. He gave me strength every moment of the day.
There were moments when I was so down that I could not attend classes or even open my door for people to come in, I had to learn how to be my best friend, always talking myself out of bouts of feeling myself giving up. I knew I had to perform and so I got super engrossed in my books and had no other life in school to the point that I emerged one of the best students, defeating even the others with no sight problems.
With the help of my lecturers and some very good students and friends from home, I graduated with a second class upper division. I later on enrolled for my Master’s programme, which is currently ongoing, and I will soon be graduating.
The university, through the directorate of disability, made arrangements for me. I want to single out the don in charge of disability, Prof Paul Mbugua, who made every necessary accommodation for me to be able to manage in the university in my new status.
I’m still in that journey and although I am not where I used to be, at least now I know that life does not have to happen the way you have planned it. You just have to learn that with God’s help you can handle whatever life presents to you. A challenge comes for you to overcome and not for you to be defeated. If and when it comes then you have what it takes to overcome. Just don’t give up.” | https://nation.africa/kenya/life-and-style/saturday-magazine/liz-migot-from-going-blind-and-losing-memory-in-2010-to-being-a-ku-master-s-student-in-2022-3881774 | 2022-07-16T12:51:22Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/life-and-style/saturday-magazine/liz-migot-from-going-blind-and-losing-memory-in-2010-to-being-a-ku-master-s-student-in-2022-3881774 | true | 1 |

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Thousands of gay rights supporters marched under heavy police guard in the South Korean capital on Saturday as they celebrated the city’s first major Pride parade in three years after a COVID-19 hiatus.
Police were on alert because church-backed counterprotesters rallied in nearby streets, highlighting the tensions surrounding the rights of sexual minorities in the deeply conservative country. There were no significant scuffles or disruptions as of Saturday afternoon.
Revelers wearing or waving rainbow banners cheered during speeches and swayed to music from a stage in front of city hall at the Seoul Queer Parade. They later formed a queue of umbrellas as they marched toward a downtown business district amid drizzling rain, calling for laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Police established perimeters to separate them from conservative Christian protesters, also numbering in the thousands, who marched in nearby streets. They held up banners and chanted slogans opposing homosexuality as their leader shouted prayers into a microphone pleading that God “save the Republic of Korea from anti-discrimination legislation.”
Some of the protesters denounced conservative Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon over the city’s unwillingness to block the “lewd” Pride parade. Gay rights activists are also unhappy with Oh, who in an interview with a Christian newspaper last week said the city may prohibit the Pride event from using the city hall plaza starting next year if this year’s participants “exhibit indecent materials or overexpose their bodies.”
“Who knows if Seoul City Hall employees right now are carrying around rulers, trying to determine whether our skirts are too short,” Bae Jin-gyo, a gay rights activist, said from the stage. “What the Seoul city government should watch is not the length of our skirts or what we are wearing, but the environment of discrimination that surrounds us.”
Following a standard they’ve maintained for years, the Pride parade’s organizers required photojournalists to take pictures of participants from the “farthest possible” distance and obtain the consent of every individual whose faces are identifiable in photos — a measure to protect participants from backlash as their images may circulate on the internet.
“I first realized a I was sexual minority when I was in kindergarten but I didn’t come out until 2021,” said Jang Yong-geol, 29, one of the few who was willing to speak to reporters. “This is my first time participating in the festival and I really love it. I don’t know why people hate (sexual minorities) when we are all humans.”
Thousands of police officers from nearly 60 units were deployed to watch the demonstrators from both sides, said Kim Man-seok, an official at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. Police didn’t immediately provide a crowd estimate but had previously forecasted a turnout of around 40,000 for the dueling events.
While major South Korean politicians avoided the Pride parade, the event drew a number of foreign diplomats, including newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Philip Goldberg, whose endorsement of gay rights has raised the ire of conservatives and Christian groups. Some protested in front of the U.S. Embassy in recent weeks, denouncing Goldberg’s appointment as part of the Biden administration’s “homosexual cultural imperialism.”
Goldberg tweeted during the Pride parade that “no one should be discriminated against because of their identity,” and that he stands with President Joe Biden in applauding “all those working to advance the human rights” of sexual minorities in South Korea.
British Ambassador Colin Crooks drew cheers as he delivered a speech in Korean, saying “discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity has no place in the 21st century.”
“The experience of Britain shows that the best way to guarantee rights (for sexual minorities) is through establishing a system of legal protection,” he said.
While views on sexual minorities in South Korea have gradually improved in recent years, they are still harshly stigmatized and frequently exposed to hate speech and crimes. Calls for equality have so far been stymied by a powerful Christian lobby that has blocked politicians from passing laws banning discrimination. Representation is an issue as there are no prominent openly gay politicians or business leaders, although some celebrities have carved out roles in show business.
The Seoul Queer Parade wasn’t held in 2020 and 2021 because of stringent social-distancing measures to fight COVID-19. The country’s anti-virus campaign has also exposed problems with homophobia. A string of infections linked to Seoul nightspots popular with gay men in 2020 sparked a huge public backlash that critics say possibly intimidated many sexual minorities from coming forward for testing.

Islamabad: Pakistan has assured the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that it would try to receive concessions from the Chinese investors participating in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) power plants in the shape of either reduction in the profit rates on investment or rescheduling the loan repayments, according to a media report on Saturday.
The assurance to seek concessions from the Chinese investors was given by Pakistani authorities to remove one of the bottlenecks in the finalization of a staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund, government sources told The Express Tribune newspaper.
Pakistan and the IMF reached a preliminary staff-level agreement this week on the combined seventh and eighth reviews for a USD 6 billion loan facility for cash-strapped Pakistan.
The agreement paves the way for the release of the much-awaited USD 1.17 billion loan tranche that had been on hold since earlier this year.
The report said that the issue of reopening the purchase agreements of the power generation plants set up under the multi-billion dollar CPEC is unlikely to die down in the near future.
The previous government led by Imran Khan had also made a similar commitment with another global lender the World Bank for a USD 400 million loans in June last year.
They added that Pakistan had informed the global lender that it would try to renegotiate the CPEC deals. However, the chances of that happening are dim because of the political sensitivities involved in the process.
The CPEC is a USD 60 billion flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative of the Chinese government a reason that the Chinese leadership has already ruled out the possibility of reopening these deals.
The CPEC connects China’s Xinjiang province with Gwadar port in Balochistan, providing China direct access to the Arabian Sea.
The sources said the government had assured the IMF that it would also try to explore the possibility of seeking an extension in debt repayments against the loans that Chinese investors had obtained from financial institutions in their country for setting up these plants.
One of the irritants in the early conclusion of the staff-level agreement was that the IMF authorities were asking for clear commitments to reduce the power generation cost and the circular debt that had increased by another Rs 850 billion during the last fiscal year.
Neither the finance ministry nor the IMF responded to the requests for comments, the newspaper report said.
The IMF has in the past linked the outstanding energy payments to the Chinese power plants with the concessions that non-CPEC projects had extended to the previous government. Pakistan owes around Rs300 billion to the Chinese independent power producers (IPPs) and the IMF was keeping track of every payment made to them.
So far, 11 Chinese IPPs, set up with an investment of USD 10.2 billion, are operational, having a total generation capacity of 5,320 MW. Last month, the IMF denied that it asked Pakistan to renegotiate CPEC IPPs contracts but said it supported the government’s multipronged strategy to restore the energy sector’s viability.
It had added that the move shared the burden of restoring viability across all stakeholders the government, producers, and consumers.
The Pakistani authorities fear that the West would not change its policy to keep pressuring it on the issue of CPEC and keep pursuing its agenda through diplomatic channels and international financial institutions. Pakistan entered the IMF program in 2019, but only half the funds have been disbursed to date as Islamabad has struggled to keep targets on track.
The last disbursement was in February and the next tranche was to follow a review in March, but the government of ousted prime minister Khan introduced costly fuel price caps, which threw fiscal targets and the program off track. | https://www.siasat.com/pakistan-assures-imf-over-cpec-energy-deals-report-2370887/ | 2022-07-16T13:16:05Z | https://www.siasat.com/pakistan-assures-imf-over-cpec-energy-deals-report-2370887/ | true | 5 |

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Four years, five months and four days after Nikolas Cruz murdered 17 at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, his trial for the deadliest U.S. mass shooting to reach a jury begins Monday with opening statements.
Delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and legal wrangling, the penalty-only trial is expected to last four months with the seven-man, five-woman jury being exposed to horrific evidence throughout. The jurors will then decide whether Cruz, 23, is sentenced to death or life without the possibility of parole.
“Finally,” said Lori Alhadeff, who wants Cruz executed for murdering her 14-year-old daughter Alyssa. “I hope for swift action to hold him responsible.”
All victim parents and family members who have spoken publicly have said directly or indirectly they want Cruz sentenced to death.
The former Stoneman Douglas student pleaded guilty in October to the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre and is only challenging his sentence. Nine other U.S. gunmen who fatally shot at least 17 people died during or immediately after their attacks by suicide or police gunfire. Cruz was captured after he fled the school. The suspect in the 2019 killing of 23 at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart is awaiting trial.
Lead prosecutor Mike Satz will give his side's presentation. Satz, 80, spent 44 years as Broward County's state attorney and appointed himself lead prosecutor shortly after the shootings that killed 14 students and three staff members. He did not seek a 12th term and left office in early 2021, but his successor, Harold Pryor, kept him on the case.
Craig Trocino, a University of Miami law professor, said Satz will likely emphasize the shooting's brutality and the story of each victim lost. The prosecution's theme throughout the trial will be, “If any case deserves a death sentence, this is it,” he said.
“They are going to want to talk about how horrible the crime was, how culpable Mr. Cruz is,” said Trocino, who worked on defendants' death penalty appeals before joining the law school.
Cruz's lead public defender, Melisa McNeill, said in court recently that she hasn't decided whether her team will give its opening statement immediately after Satz or wait several weeks until it's time to present their case.
Trocino said delaying their opening statement would be a risky and extremely rare defense strategy as it would allow the prosecution to have the only say for half the trial.
He said Cruz's attorneys will likely want to plant the seed in jurors' minds that he is a young adult with lifelong emotional and psychological problems. The goal would be to temper the jurors' emotions as the prosecution presents grisly videos and photos of the shootings and their aftermath, the painful testimony of the surviving wounded and tearful statements from victims' family members.
The jurors will also tour the sealed-off three-story classroom building where the massacre occurred. It remains blood-stained and bullet-pocked, with deflated Valentine's Day balloons and dead flowers strewn about.
“The defense will want to put a human face on Cruz,” Trocino said. “They will want to show why life without the possibility of parole is a sufficient punishment.”
During the trial, the prosecution is expected to present an overarching narrative of Cruz's history of threats, his planning and the merciless nature of the shootings. But they will also spend time on each individual slaying as the jurors will eventually vote on 17 potential death sentences, one for each victim.
Satz's team will be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Cruz committed at least one aggravating circumstance specified under Florida law, but that should not be an issue. Those include murders that were especially heinous or cruel; committed in a cold, calculated and premeditated manner; or committed during an act that created a great risk of death to many persons.
Cruz's team can raise several mitigating factors that are also in the law. Before the shooting, Cruz had no criminal history. The attorneys can argue he was under extreme mental or emotional disturbance, and his capacity to appreciate his conduct's criminality or conform it to the law was substantially impaired.
They will likely present evidence that:
— Cruz's birth mother abused alcohol and drugs during pregnancy. His attorneys say that damaged his brain and left him intellectually disabled, with behavioral problems starting in preschool.
— A “trusted peer” sexually abused him.
— When Cruz was 5, his adopted father died of a heart attack in front of him, which left his adoptive mother to raise him and his brother alone.
— His adoptive mother abused alcohol and died less than four months before the massacre.
— He was an immature 19 when the shootings happened.
For each death sentence, the jury must be unanimous or the sentence for that victim is life. The jurors are told that to vote for death, the prosecution's aggravating circumstances for that victim must, in their judgement, “outweigh” the defense's mitigators. A juror can also vote for life out of mercy for Cruz. During jury selection, the panelists said under oath that they are capable of voting for either sentence.
It is possible Cruz could get death for some victims and life for others, particularly since he walked back to some wounded victims and killed them with a second volley. That might swing any hesitant jurors on those counts.
“The prosecution only needs for the jury to come back (for death) on one,” Trocino said. | https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/national/2022/07/16/florida-school-massacre-finally-goes-to-trial-on-monday/ | 2022-07-16T13:20:52Z | https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/national/2022/07/16/florida-school-massacre-finally-goes-to-trial-on-monday/ | false | 23 |
Kylie Jenner slammed for ‘TACKY’ home gym with Dior weights at $36M mansion after she’s ripped for ‘flaunting wealth’
KYLIE Jenner has been slammed by Kardashian fans as 'tacky' after they notice her home gym has Dior weights.
This critique comes after the model was slammed for flaunting her wealth in the past.
Earlier this week, Kylie's baby daddy, Travis Scott, posted a photo from their home gym.
The picture did not feature him, but instead showed off a mirror and a weight bench.
Through the mirror, gray flooring with white lines could be seen on the ground.
In the other room, a plant and TV were seen in the mirror as well.
But fans on Reddit noticed one "tacky" detail about the photo.
Her weight bench featured many different size weights all lined up in a row.
On the side, the black bench featured white stripes and the words "Christian Dior."
Travis tagged Kylie in the Instagram story.

'TACKY!'
Reddit fans slammed Kylie on the platform for having designer weights.
"I'm dying at the Christian Dior weights lol. Luxury brands really make everything," wrote one fan.
One Reddit user replied to them saying: "It’s ironically tacky. If I had that much money I’d be getting the most well-designed gym equipment from companies that specialize in it."
Another simply asked: "...Dior makes gym equipment?"
A fourth fan said that they think only the bench was Dior while the weights "looked standard."
"They only care about the aesthetics of health," commented one Reddit user.
"Most inconvenient weight rack on the planet. This is how I know they fake workout," said another.
COLLABORATION
A rational reason why Kylie might have the Dior bench in her house is that Travis just released the Dior x Travis Scott collection.
The collection was supposed to drop in the summer of 2022 but was postponed due to the Astroworld tragedy.
The Dior x Travis Scott collection was first announced in June 2021 in partnership with the rapper's Cactus Jack Records label.
Following the delay, Dior announced that it would be released worldwide on July 13, 2022, according to Women's Wear Daily.
The collection features several pieces, including hats, shoes, clothes, and accessories.
It has been released in stores and online.
FLASHY FLEX
On Friday, Kylie shared a black and white photo of herself and Travis posing together.
The couple appeared to be kissing in the picture, standing before two private jets and an expensive car.
The mom of two captioned the post: "You wanna take mine or yours ?"
Fans thought the model was flaunting her wealth as she showed off her $72 million jet in the background.
They took to the comments of her Instagram post.
One commenter joked: "This post just called me poor."
"Why you gotta flex like this?? #poorlivesmatter," joked one follower.
A third chimed in: "Global warming who?"
Others joked: "Honestly so relatable" and "Cries in poor."
SNEAKER SHOWOFF
On July 13, the 24-year-old snapped a video of her daughter Stormi's $500 orange sneakers while riding in her $200K Range Rover amid backlash over parading her money.
The reality star took to her Instagram Stories to film her daughter's adorable little feet as she squirmed in the backseat of her car.
The little girl's legs dangled from the rich leather seats in the orange and white kicks before she stood up to exit the vehicle.
Kylie captioned her shot: "Cutest girl" as she gushed over her four-year-old tot.
This is just one of the many times Kylie has angered fans by flaunting her wealth online.

A spokesperson for the University of Limerick Hospital Group said they have met with the bereaved families to apologise for their non-compliance
A HSE audit has revealed the organs of two babies born at University Maternity Hospital Limerick were sent for incineration without the knowledge or consent of the parents.
A national audit was conducted following an RTÉ Investigates report last year that revealed the organs of 18 babies who were delivered at Cork University Maternity Hospital had been incinerated in Belgium.
Cases that came to light during the audit are that of two babies who were born at the maternity hospital in Limerick in 2019.
One family were told their baby boy's brain had been incinerated alongside surgical waste in April 2021 after he passed away in 2019.
The family had agreed to a post-mortem and given permission for his organs to be retained if necessary. If the organs were retained, they would have to be sensitively disposed of in accordance with hospital policy.
However in April of this year, the family were told their child's brain had been incinerated, with the baby's mother telling RTÉ Investigates: "It all feels like a nightmare".
A report into the issue was due to be released in November 2021, however, this has been delayed a number of times.
A spokesperson for the University of Limerick Hospital Group said they have met with the bereaved families to apologise for their non-compliance with the national standards on sensitive disposal of retained organs.
“We recognise that this has been a traumatic experience for both families which can only have compounded their grief. We are sincerely sorry that this has occurred and for the distress it has caused them. Ongoing support is being provided to both families through our Patient Advocacy and Liaison Services. We can confirm that since October 2021 we have been in compliance with the sensitive disposal arrangements under the national standards," they said in reply to a query from Limerick Live.

Urdu not associated with religion, says KTR
Published: Published Date - 03:02 PM, Sat - 16 July 22
Hyderabad: Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao on Saturday said Urdu language could not be associated with religion and some foolish people were portraying it as language belonging only to one particular community and resorting to divisive politics.
The Minister was speaking after inaugurating a Government Junior College in Bahadurpally. During the inaugural function Quthbullapur MLA KP Vivekanand requested the Minister to set up a Urdu medium educational institution in his constituency.
Rama Rao also said that, in Telangana, irrespective of the religion many people fluently speak Urdu and can write it too. He also mentioned that his grandparents also spoke Urdu fluently.
Taking a jibe at BJP, the Minister said that, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi promoted Urdu language by sanctioning some funds, BJP party leaders in the State are trying to potray Urdu as a language associated with Muslim community.
Criticising Congress leaders in the State, he said that, while Nalgonda MP Uttam Kumar Reddy said, not even a rupee has been sanctioned for Mana Ooru Mana Badi programme, the Congress leader and former MP Madhu Yashki Goud siad that the money has been siphoned and a scam happened contradictory the former.
“In the same press conference, sitting next to each other, they contradiction each other using the same mike. If funds were not sanctioned according to one of their leaders, how can they be siphoned,” said Rama Rao. | https://telanganatoday.com/urdu-not-associated-with-religion-says-ktr | 2022-07-16T13:36:28Z | https://telanganatoday.com/urdu-not-associated-with-religion-says-ktr | false | 1 |
