The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday said that they have arrested an officer in the Union agriculture ministry along with three private persons in a bribery case.
A Plant Protection Officer, identified as Padam Singh, in the Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage Department, Ministry of Agriculture (Govt of India) at Visakhapatnam and three private persons, including a Regional Manager of Visakhapatnam-based firm have been arrested.
A senior CBI official said that apart from Singh, the other three persons are -- Athi Bulli Reddiyya alias Murali, Regional Manager, Exim Logistics Pvt. Ltd, Visakhapatnam, S. Siva Rama Gupta and Myla Srikrishna Varma.
Singh was allegedly demanding and collecting huge amounts of bribes from the CHAs, Fumigators and Shipping Agents for issuing Phytosanitary Certificates for exporting the goods and Consignment Release Orders for imported consignments.
Singh allegedly demanded illegal gratification from Reddiyya for clearing pending applications and issuing favourable certificates to Customs for release of import, export consignments of agricultural commodities.
The CBI apprehended Singh and Reddiyya and recovered the bribe amount of Rs 6,000.
"Searches were conducted at the premises of accused and others, including their associates at Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Roorkee (Uttarakhand). Cash of Rs 1,29,63,450 was recovered from the premises of Singh and Rs 56,86,000 allegedly belonging to the public servant was recovered from the premises of others. Certain incriminating documents were also recovered," said the CBI official.
All the arrested accused will be produced before the Court of Principal Special Judge for CBI Cases, Visakhapatnam later in the day.

An employee working for the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in the company's facility in Arizona took to the social media platform Glassdoor to voice his concerns about working at the company. TSMC is currently building its largest American facility in the state, as the firm works with the government to expand its manufacturing presence and reduce supply chain uncertainty from geopolitics in the South China sea. The employee, who described his role as a senior engineer, highlighted that while his salary was above the industry average, other conditions in the Arizonian plant left him wishing for more.
His review on Glassdoor was the only one directly mentioning the Arizona facility, with other reviews coming from either anonymous workers or those in other TSMC offices such as the ones in California.
TSMC Arizona Engineer Bemoans Micro Management By Manager & Claims Management Does Not Appreciate Feedback
Soon after TSMC announced its plans for the Arizona plant, the company's founder Mr. Morris Chang outlined at several different events that the cultural gap between America and Taiwan will lead to one problem that his company might have to encounter as part of its push into North America. For instance, at a keynote speech that Mr. Chang gave in Taiwan last year, he stated that not only does TSMC in Taiwan provide better commuting facilities to its employees, but that workers in his home country are more hardworking when compared to their American counterparts.
As we reported back then:
Commenting on this, Mr. Chang believes that TSMC's greatest strength is Taiwan. He believes that Taiwanese engineers are more professional when compared to their American counterparts, going as far as to state that, "No one in the United States is as dedicated to their work as in Taiwan."
This cultural difference seems to have impacted at least one TSMC Arizona employee, who chose Glassdoor to vent out his grievances. According to his post, the engineer shared that while TSMC pays above the industry baseline since the number of hours worked is large, this might end up negating the effect of the higher pay.
Additionally, he went on to claim that his supervisor was a micromanager, with the overall environment at the company making him feel that feedback was not appreciated. Furthermore, the employee also felt that taking vacations at his company was discouraged since they would affect performance reviews.
Finally, his suggestions to management came as follows as it advised them to focus on hiring locally:
Advice to Management
TSMC is building a fab in USA but 95% managers are from Taiwan local. All of them have been influenced by military-like culture for more than 10 years. Most of them refuse to adopt US culture because that is not how they got to their high level position. Will need more US managers to build fusion culture
Other reviews for TSMC's operations in the U.S. were not negative, with several praising the company for the perks and privileges that it offers and a friendly working environment with coworkers. One review praised the company's "integrity" and shared that not only does it provide excellent growth opportunities, but also a chance to work with different fields in semiconductor fabrication.
Most of the negatives listed involved rigid management and long working hours, and the positives included praise for coworkers, TSMC's crucial role in contract chip manufacturing, job stability and a great learning environment. | https://wccftech.com/tsmcs-u-s-fab-has-military-culture-vents-employee/ | 2022-07-16T13:50:11Z | https://wccftech.com/tsmcs-u-s-fab-has-military-culture-vents-employee/ | true | 1 |

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 1st Test, Day 1: Shaheen Afridi takes four as PAK restrict SL to 222
Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi led Pakistan's spirited bowling display with a four-wicket haul to help the touring side skittle Sri Lanka out for 222 on the first day of the opening test in Galle on Saturday. In reply, Pakistan lost openers Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique to reach 24-2 by the close of play, trailing by 198 runs. The Sri Lanka team, playing amid a political and economic meltdown in the country, came into the contest having defeated Australia by an innings and 39 runs to level their two-test series at the same Galle International Stadium a few days earlier.
On a surface expected to aid spinners as the match progresses, Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne did not hesitate to bat first after winning the toss. But the hosts' hopes of piling up a big first innings total were hit hard when Karunaratne was out for just one, inside-edging left-armer Afridi onto his stumps.
Kusal Mendis and Oshada Fernando combined for a second-wicket stand of 49 to set up a platform for Sri Lanka's batters to build on, but Pakistan hit back by picking up three wickets for eight runs to reduce them to 68-4. Experienced legspinner Yasir Shah celebrated his return to the Pakistan side for the first time since August by dismissing Mendis for 21 and Angelo Mathews without scoring, while seamer Hasan Ali sent back Fernando for 35.
Former captain Dinesh Chandimal, who smashed an unbeaten 206 to set up the victory against Australia, top-scored for the hosts with 76 and along with some resistance from the tailenders saw the side go past the 200-run mark. Afridi's heroics saw Sri Lanka tottering at 133-8 but Chandimal and Maheesh Theekshana staged a small recovery with a ninth wicket stand of 44 before the former fell to an athletic catch by Shah off Hasan.
Theekshana, who made 38, and number 11 batter Kasun Rajitha continued to frustrate Pakistan's bowlers with a dogged last-wicket stand of 45, much to the delight of the sparse crowd. But Afridi returned to end the partnership, sending back Theekshana with a short-pitched delivery. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/sri-lanka-vs-pakistan-1st-test-day-1-shaheen-afridi-takes-four-as-pak-restrict-sl-to-222-101657977216181.html | 2022-07-16T14:02:31Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/sri-lanka-vs-pakistan-1st-test-day-1-shaheen-afridi-takes-four-as-pak-restrict-sl-to-222-101657977216181.html | false | 6 |
BERLIN (AP) — The head of a major art show in Germany has resigned after an exhibit featuring antisemitic elements prompted an outcry at the event’s opening last month.
The board of the documenta fifteen show said Saturday that Sabine Schormann was leaving her post as chief executive by mutual agreement. It also expressed regret about what it described as “unambiguously antisemitic motifs” visible in one of the works shown at the opening weekend.
“The presentation of the banner ‘People’s Justice’ by the artists collective Taring Padi with its antisemitic imagery was a clear transgression and thereby caused significant harm to the documenta,” the board said.
The banner featured a soldier with the face of a pig, wearing a neckerchief with a Star of David and a helmet inscribed with the word “Mossad,” the name of Israel’s intelligence agency. It was taken down within days after widespread criticism from Jewish groups and German and Israeli officials.
The Taring Padi collective, based in Indonesia, has already apologized for the incident. It said the work — which it said was first exhibited at the South Australia Art Festival in Adelaide 20 years ago — was “in no way related” to antisemitism, but instead referred to the post-1965 dictatorship in Indonesia.
“We are sorry that details of this banner are misunderstood other than their original purpose. We apologize for the injuries caused in this context,” it said last month.
It acknowledged that the incident followed months of debate about alleged antisemitism, which it and the show's organizers had strongly rejected.
Germany's president raised the issue of antisemitism during his speech at the show's opening, saying there were “limits” to what artists can do when they address political issues in a country that is still atoning for the Holocaust.
The board of the documenta, which is staged every four years in the central German city of Kassel, has called for a swift investigation into the incident. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/entertainment/article/Head-of-German-art-show-quits-after-antisemitic-17309361.php | 2022-07-16T14:10:24Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/entertainment/article/Head-of-German-art-show-quits-after-antisemitic-17309361.php | false | 22 |
The Cleveland Browns boast an offensive line that is considered one of the best in the NFL.
However, this past season, a number of players on that offensive line were dealing with injuries, and it limited its productivity as the Browns limped to a disappointing 8-9 finish.
One lineman who had a disappointing season was left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr.
A lot has been expected from him ever since he was taken by Cleveland with the 10th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but he hasn’t given a lot, at least not yet.
For the Browns to be successful this season, especially if they’re to return to the playoffs, Wills will need to start putting it together in Year 3.
Wills Hasn’t Panned Out
After starring at Lafayette High School in his native Lexington, Ky., Wills decided to play his college ball at the University of Alabama, one of the most storied football programs in the nation.
Competing in the ultra-competitive Southeastern Conference (SEC), he showed promise as a freshman, then had a very strong junior year, only missing seven blocking assignments out of the 771 snaps he took part in that season.
Wills won first-team All-SEC honors and was named as an All-American by multiple media outlets.
In two seasons in Cleveland, he has shown flashes of his promise, such as when he won the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week award in Week 10 of the 2020 campaign for helping the Browns have a big game on the ground versus the Houston Texans.
But pretty often, Wills has been inconsistent, as he has missed assignments.
Another problem he has is getting called for penalties, as he was guilty of 11 of them during his rookie year.
In 2021, he posted a 67.9 pass-blocking grade and 61.5 run-blocking grade, indicative of a subpar effort and performance.
Wills Has Shown he Can Do Well, And He Has The Right People In His Corner
At 6-foot-4 and over 300 pounds, the Crimson Tide product certainly has the ability to protect the quarterback and help create openings for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
But head coach Kevin Stefanski surely wants to see him handle his blocking assignments on a consistent basis so that the line of scrimmage will be more air-tight.
The potential is there – will he realize it?
On this play from Week 7 of this past season versus the Denver Broncos, Wills was assigned to cover outside linebacker Malik Reed, who appeared to get the step on him, only for him to cut him off.

On this snap from his rookie season, Wills reacts well to action from linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis and prevents him from pressuring then-Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield.

– 54 is creeping pre-snap & Wills picks it up
– On Wills first kick his eyes are inside
– Once 54 comes he smoothly mirrors inside & clips him
– Outside pressure is on Baker pic.twitter.com/JqYrL4S9W1— Brandon Thorn (@BrandonThornNFL) September 29, 2020
With Watson facing a likely suspension, Cleveland will likely have to win ugly, at least when Watson is out, which means running more offense through Chubb and Hunt and requiring Wills to hold his own.
Luckily, Joe Thomas, one of the greatest offensive linemen in Browns history, thinks highly of Wills, and the 23-year-old has the benefit of offensive line coach Bill Callahan, perhaps the best ever. | https://www.brownsnation.com/jedrick-willis-is-someone-to-keep-an-eye-on-this-preseason/ | 2022-07-16T14:10:39Z | https://www.brownsnation.com/jedrick-willis-is-someone-to-keep-an-eye-on-this-preseason/ | false | 1 |

KYIV (Reuters) -Russia has ordered its forces in Ukraine to step up operations, its defence ministry said on Saturday, as rockets and missiles pounded the country in the latest of a series of bombardments that Kyiv says have killed dozens of people in recent days.
In the latest strikes, missiles hit the northeastern town of Chuhuiv in Kharkiv region, killing three people including a 70-year-old woman, and wounding three more, the regional governor Oleh Synehubov said.
To the south, regional governor Valentyn Reznichenko said more than 50 Russian Grad rockets fell on the city of Nikopol, on the Dnipro River. Two people were killed, emergency services said.
Ukraine says around 40 people have been killed in such attacks on urban areas in the last three days.
Russia's defence ministry said in a statement on its website that Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu had ordered military units to step up their operations to prevent strikes on eastern Ukraine and other territories controlled by Russia.
It said Shoigu "gave the necessary instructions to further increase the actions of groups in all operational areas in order to exclude the possibility of the Kyiv regime launching massive rocket and artillery strikes on civilian infrastructure and residents of settlements in Donbas and other regions".
The ministry said Shoigu had issued his order after listening to reports at a command centre from generals leading the "South" and "Centre" command groups of Russian forces operating in Ukraine, as well as other commanders.
It was not clear from the statement, or the silent footage provided, exactly when the meeting took place or whether Shoigu and the commanders were in Ukraine at the time.
Ukrainian rocket strikes using Western-supplied systems have destroyed more than 30 Russian military logistics centres in recent weeks and significantly reduced Russia's attacking potential, Ukraine said on Friday.
WAR OF ATTRITION
While the focus of the war, now in its fifth month, has moved to Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, Russia forces have been striking cities elsewhere in the country with missiles and rockets in what has become an increasingly attritional conflict.
Moscow, which launched what it called its "special military operation" against Ukraine on Feb. 24 saying it aimed to root out what it termed dangerous nationalists, says it uses high-precision weapons to degrade Ukraine's military infrastructure and protect its own security.
Kyiv and the West have cast the conflict as an unprovoked attempt to reconquer a country that broke free of Moscow's rule with the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Russia has repeatedly denied targeting civilian areas, despite mounting evidence that its missiles have hit residential areas across the country.
In one recent attack that stoked outrage from Ukraine and its Western allies, Kalibr cruise missiles launched from a Russian submarine in the Black Sea hit an office building in Vinnytsia, a city of 370,000 people about 200 km (125 miles) southwest of Kyiv, on Thursday.
Kyiv said the strike killed at least 23 people and wounded dozens. Among the dead was Liza, a 4-year-old girl with Down's Syndrome, found in the debris next to a pram. Images of her pushing the same pram, posted by her mother on a blog less than two hours before the attack, quickly went viral.
Russia's defence ministry has said the strike on Vinnytsia was directed at a building where top officials from Ukraine's armed forces were meeting foreign arms suppliers.
Late on Friday, Russian missiles hit the city of Dnipro, about 120 km (75 miles) north of Nikopol, killing three people and wounding 15, Reznychenko, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region that includes both cities, said on Telegram.
Footage on social media showed thick black smoke rising from the buildings and burning cars.
Russia said on Saturday it had destroyed a factory in Dnipro making missile parts.
CONFLICT DIVIDES G20
The war dominated a meeting of G20 finance ministers in Indonesia. U.S Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said differences over the conflict had prevented the finance chiefs and central bankers from issuing a formal communique but that they agreed on a need to address a worsening food security crisis.
"This is a challenging time because Russia is part of the G20 and doesn't agree with the rest of us on how to characterize the war," Yellen said.
Western countries have imposed tough sanctions on Russia and have accused it of war crimes in Ukraine, which Moscow denies. Other G20 nations, including China, India and South Africa, have been more muted in their response.
In one spillover from the conflict, a blockade restricting exports of Ukrainian grain has prompted warnings it could put millions in poorer countries at risk of starvation.
Despite the bloodshed, both Russia and Ukraine described progress towards an agreement to lift a blockade in recent talks. Mediator Turkey has said a deal could be signed next week.

Sandra Bullock once stopped doing rom-coms because she felt they were ‘terrible’
ads
Sandra Bullock has starred in many films in her long and storied career. But romantic comedy movies were very familiar to Shock star, which helped raise her profile.
However, Bullock once shared that he no longer wanted to do romantic comedies after he started hating the genre.
Sandra Bullock once explained why big-budget rom-coms weren’t selling in theaters anymore.
Bullock is known for starring in several successful and memorable romantic comedies. movies like Forces of nature Y miss Sympathy are all notable contributions to Bullock’s filmography. But big-budget rom-coms may not be as popular as they used to be. Bullock noted this trend and discussed what might have changed for romantic comedies over the years.
Speaking to the New York Times, Bullock shared his belief that romantic comedies became underrated and negatively perceived over time.
“But when you go back to the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s, anything with a comedy-adventure base that also had romance wasn’t sidelined like it is now,” Bullock said.
The Oscar winner also claimed that sexism played a role in the downfall of big-budget romantic comedies.
“I think that when everything turned to the very masculine action adventure, women were relegated to the arm or the damsel in distress. Then when the rom-coms came along, she was always like, ‘Oh, we’re going to let the women come back, but it’s going to be this formula that we like, and it can’t be too edgy,'” she said. additional.
Sandra Bullock promised to stop doing rom-coms because they were ‘terrible’
Bullock has long maintained that the quality of romantic comedies was sinking even while he was still starring in them. In a 2009 interview, when she was the star of The proposal, Bullock promised to avoid romantic comedies.
“I stopped making them, how many years ago? They’re terrible, they’re bad, and they’re not funny,” she once said according to The Age.
She felt that Hollywood writers were not writing well for women in romantic comedies at the time. Still, Bullock made an exception for The proposalwhich she saw as different from typical romantic comedies.
“I don’t call this a romantic comedy,” he said. “[The movie] It reminds me of movies from the 1930s and 1940s where there was a landscape, a story, and drama was allowed, and you can’t have good comedy without drama.”
Why Sandra Bullock Will Only Do Comedies Later in Her Career
Sandra Bullock recently starred in the Netflix drama the unforgivable with Viola Davis. Although it was a return to Bullock’s more dramatic roots, it was only temporary. In an interview with Q’s Tom Power, Bullock shared that she would stick strictly to comedies afterward. the unforgivable.
“I will never do a drama again,” Bullock said. “I just want to do my comedy. I’m going back to comedy. And I’m going to fight for it and I’m going to enjoy it.”
Bullock acknowledged that comedy was different for her than drama. For the actor, comedy really required a good co-star to bring out the best in everyone in the genre.
“It really does take a town to make comedy work, at least for me,” he continued. “I need a great partner in front of me to play ball.”

Monsoon mayhem: Heavy rains, floods wreck Gujarat, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh
Heavy downpour across India has led to the monsoon wreaking havoc in multiple states. While Assam has been battling flood waters for some weeks, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha are witnessing rising water levels. Areas in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Puducherry continue to be inundated as governments boost relief efforts. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued heavy rainfall warnings for several states on Friday.
Rains continued to lash parts of Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana this week. Increased water levels in the Godavari river have affected the low-level regions of Odisha and AP. In Maharashtra, a large number of students failed to turn up for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) due to heavy rains. Meanwhile, a seven-year-old lost his life in Rajasthan due to extremely heavy rainfall.
About 600 villages across 44 AP mandals have been affected by Godavari floods, and over 66,000 have been rescued by the National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF). Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy took an aerial survey and directed teams to ensure that no life is lost. In Telangana's Jagital district, a journalist reporting on the monsoon got swept away in flood waters.

Gujarat has witnessed heavy rains since July 7, especially in the southern half and Saurashtra region, leading to 43 deaths. As Navsari continues to be the worst-hit district, the IMD has warned of "extremely heavy rainfall" in the area. The water level in the Sardar Sarovar Dam has risen close to the danger mark, and 35 reservoirs in the state are on high alert.
Prayers for Gujarat!

Backwaters from the Godavari river have led to parts of Odisha's Malkangiri being inundated with flood waters. The villages of Binayakpur, Alama, and Peta have been inundated completely, with residents having to swim their way to safety. Parts of the state may witness "heavy to extremely heavy" showers, which can trigger landslides in vulnerable areas, as per the IMD.
Maharashtra witnessed heavy downpours and flooding over the last week, which led to 84 dying and 66 being injured. The IMD has issued a red alert in Mumbai, Thane, Gadchiroli district, and the Konkan region. The NDRF managed to rescue close to 6,000 residents from the floods, which damaged more than 40 houses across the state.
About 170 villages are still affected by heavy floods that battered Assam and killed over 200 people. As per officials, the condition has improved due to flood waters receding, but 2.2 lakh citizens continue to be affected. Flash floods in Himachal Pradesh led to landslides and villages being inundated. A cloudburst incident last week led to multiple buses being damaged in Manali. | https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/india/monsoon-fury-in-india/story | 2022-07-16T14:11:57Z | https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/india/monsoon-fury-in-india/story | false | 1 |
What Now for Gesicki and His Future with Dolphins?
What now for Mike Gesicki beyond the 2022 season?
As expected, the deadline for the Miami Dolphins to sign their tight end to a long-term extension came and went Friday without a new deal being struck.
That means that Gesicki will play the 2022 season under the franchise tag he signed in March and will receive $10.9 million this year.
But this also means that Gesicki is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next spring and his future with the team clearly is in doubt as he prepares for his first season under new head coach Mike McDaniel.
GETTING TO THIS POINT WITH GESICKI
That the Dolphins didn't sign Gesicki to a long-term deal seemed the logical conclusion for a couple of reasons.
The first is the team's depth at the position, particularly after the Dolphins selected Hunter Long in the third round of the 2021 draft.
Perhaps more significant, though, is the question of just how well Gesicki will fit in McDaniel's offensive scheme. McDaniel was very complimentary in the offseason about how Gesicki attacked the challenge of becoming a better blocker, but the reality is we won't know for sure just how well he can fit until the regular season begins.
So it makes sense that the Dolphins want some answers in that regard before committing to a long-term deal with Gesicki.
Gesickimade it clear in the offseason he would have preferred signing a long-term deal than having to play on the franchise tag number in 2022, which is what pretty much every player in the NFL would want given the desire for long-term stability.
Instead, Gesicki again will be in a contract year in 2022 with a big question mark about his future with the team.
THE DOLPHINS HISTORY WITH THE TAG
2018 — WR Jarvis Landry
Despite his impressive production, Landry and the Dolphins were ready to turn the page after four seasons, so they put the franchise tag on him and then turned around and traded him to the Cleveland Browns for a fourth-round pick in 2018 and a seventh-round pick in 2019.
The Dolphins turned those picks into Smythe and Myles Gaskin, while Landry got a big contract extension with the Browns that Miami wasn't willing to give him.
Landry hasn't been able to match his Miami production in Cleveland and he's coming off a frustrating injury-plagued season that had him take to Twitter to state his case.
2016 — DE Olivier Vernon
Read More
This one was interesting,
The Dolphins put the transition tag on Vernon after he had 29 sacks in four years, only to rescind it eight days later after they signed veteran Mario Williams as a free agent. That made Vernon an unrestricted free agent and he signed a five-year, $85 million contract with the New York Giants, for whom he played three seasons before being traded to the Browns.
Vernon remained a very good player after leaving the Dolphins, though he has failed to play a complete season since his first year with the Giants in 2016 and he didn't play in 2021 after sustaining a torn Achilles tendon late the previous season.
2015 — TE Charles Clay
In 2015, the Dolphins placed the transition tag on Clay, giving them the right to match any offer he received from another team. But Miami declined to do just that when Buffalo came in with a five-year deal worth $38 million.
In retrospect, this was the right call for the Dolphins. Clay had 69 and 58 catches his final two seasons in Miami but never matched those numbers for the Bills or the Arizona Cardinals after moving there and he also never matched his receiving yardage totals of those 2013 and 2014 seasons when he had 759 and 605 yards.
2013 — DT Randy Starks
The Dolphins signed Starks to a five-year deal as an up-and-coming player in 2008 and that move will go down as one of the team's best-ever free agent signing.
After Starks made the Pro Bowl in his fourth and fifth seasons, the Dolphins made sure to hang on to him to putting the franchise tag and then the following year they re-signed him as a UFA. He remained a solid player through his sixth and seventh (and final) season with the Dolphins, though he didn't return to the Pro Bowl.
2011 — DT Paul Soliai
Soliai took some time to develop as a fourth-round pick in the 2007 draft, but by the time he completed his fourth season in 2010, he had become a very, very good interior defensive lineman, so the Dolphins made sure to keep him by putting the franchise tag on him.
Soliai rewarded the Dolphins by turning in a Pro Bowl season in 2011 and Miami re-signed him to a two-year contract the following offseason before Soliai eventually left as a UFA in 2014.
2000 — T Richmond Webb
The ninth overall pick in the 1990 draft, Webb made the Pro Bowl in each of his first six seasons for the Dolphins and they put the franchise tag on him before his final season in Miami.
1994 — DT Tim Bowens
One of the most underappreciated Dolphins players through the years, Bowens was good enough in his first four seasons that the team put the franchise tag on him and he rewarded them (like Soliai) with a Pro Bowl season.
The Dolphins then signed Bowens to a couple of five-year contracts before his contract eventually ended in 2005. | https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/miami-dolphins-te-mike-gesicki-now-faces-an-uncertain-future-with-team | 2022-07-16T14:12:01Z | https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/miami-dolphins-te-mike-gesicki-now-faces-an-uncertain-future-with-team | false | 2 |
Opinions of Saturday, 16 July 2022
Columnist: Kwabena Acheampong
Any meal or substance that arouses the sexual impulse, promotes veneral desire and boosts pleasure and performance is considered an aphrodisiac.
However, these medications have a long-term negative impact on one's health. Aphrodisiacs are categorized into three groups based on their mode of action: those that improve desire, potency, or sexual pleasure.
Unfortunately, the promise of a simple and quick treatment through aggressive marketing may seem very nice, and occasionally individuals are so carried away by the effects they have on them that they simply seem to overlook or skip its potentially negative side effects.
While aphrodisiacs work by boosting blood flow to the genital areas, it can also cause a dangerous decrease in blood pressure. It may also cause nausea, dizziness, stroke, an increased risk of cancer, prostate enlargement, loss of consciousness, and severe headaches.
Besides, individuals do not think about the safety of these substances and consume them without knowing the consequences. Some aphrodisiacs have been demonstrated to induce liver damage and, in more severe situations, can cause liver cirrhosis, and this disease condition cannot be reversed.
It is also important to get medical guidance before deciding whether aphrodisiacs are appropriate for your situation. To preserve our men's lives, policymakers must impose stringent regulations to restrict the massive influx of aphrodisiacs into the market. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/Ghanaian-men-are-at-the-mercy-seat-of-goddess-of-love-Aphrodisiac-1583792 | 2022-07-16T14:21:43Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/Ghanaian-men-are-at-the-mercy-seat-of-goddess-of-love-Aphrodisiac-1583792 | false | 1 |

Osun decides: Shehu Sani, Adeyanju allege massive vote-buying
Two prominent Nigerian socio-political activists have alleged vote-buying in the ongoing governorship election in Osun State.
Shehu Sani, former Kaduna Central Senator, alleged that some residents of Osun State are reportedly demanding money before voting.
He, however, warned that money would prevent the emergence of a good leader.
In a tweet, Sani wrote: “The Osun residents reportedly demanded money before voting. Money is the temptation that will stand in between the electorates and their dream of a good leadership and a better country.”
Similarly, Deji Adeyanju also alleged vote-buying in most polling units in the State.
“Massive vote buying ongoing in most PUs in Osun. #OsunDecides2022.

Which Centrum multivitamin is best?
Centrum has been producing multivitamins since 1978 to help people with their health and wellness. The brand is one of the most recommended by doctors and pharmacists for its science-backed, innovative dietary supplements.
Whether you need basic immune support or are suffering from a deficiency, these multivitamins can help round out your dietary needs. The best one for men is the Centrum Multivitamin For Men. There are also multivitamins meant for women, children and older people.
What to know before you buy a Centrum multivitamin
Benefits of multivitamins
Multivitamins are meant as a kind of one-stop-shop for those whose diets lack essential vitamins or minerals. Among other things, Centrum multivitamins can help with the following:
- Immune system function: Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can increase the risk of illness or infection. Vitamins C, D and E can help support immune system health.
- Eye health: Riboflavin, omega-3, niacin and many vitamins can help improve vision and support eye health.
- Heart and brain health: Multivitamins contain such things as magnesium, folate, calcium, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. These can reduce the risk of heart disease and improve brain function.
- Muscle and bone health: Branched-chain amino acids and many vitamins, such as vitamins A, C and D, can help with muscle and bone development and health.
- Nervous system function: Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 are some of the ingredients that give the nervous system a healthy boost.
- Metabolic function: A daily multivitamin with ingredients such as vitamins D and B12 can improve one’s metabolism.
- Energy: Certain vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin, biotin and B12, can give you an energy boost. Getting the right nutrients can also help with this.
- Memory, mood and concentration: Certain minerals and vitamins in multivitamins can support the production of serotonin and give your mood and concentration a boost.
- Blood sugar levels: Magnesium and other vitamins and minerals found in multivitamins can regulate blood sugar levels. They can also support essential nerve functions.
When getting Centrum multivitamins, check the ingredients and specific benefits it’s supposed to provide. That way, you can get the most support for your health. If you’re not sure that multivitamins are right for you, consult a doctor.
Recommended group
Everyone’s body and dietary needs are different, based on things such as sex and age. Because of this, Centrum multivitamins are geared toward the following groups:
- Men
- Women
- Children
- Those age 50 and over
People’s nutritional requirements change as they get older. For example, most children do not need the same amount of minerals as adults. Older individuals, meanwhile, often need a higher dose of certain vitamins, such as B12 or D. Before taking any multivitamin, check the label to make sure it’s intended for you.
Potential issues
Some people need to take multivitamins because of a specific health issue, such as a nutritional deficiency. These are often caused by conditions such as:
- Poor diet
- Celiac or Chrohn’s disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Pregnancy
However, be careful when introducing any dietary supplement into your routine. In particular, if you take certain medications, they could interact negatively or become less effective due to the multivitamin.
What to look for in a quality Centrum multivitamin
Recommended dose
In most cases, you should take only one Centrum multivitamin a day. If you forget to take it, don’t double up the next day and take two — simply take one, as usual. Some supplements have frequency and dosage recommendations, so check the packaging for instructions.
The best time to take a multivitamin depends on the person, their routine and the supplement. Some are fat-soluble, meaning you should take them with a meal. Others can be taken any time of day.
Avoid drinking caffeinated beverages that contain tannin, such as black tea or coffee, immediately around the time you consume any dietary supplement. Tannin can interfere with the effects or prevent your body from properly absorbing them.
Form
Most multivitamins, including Centrum ones, come in one of three forms:
- Tablets or capsules: The most common type, these are meant to be swallowed whole, usually with water. They come in different sizes and are either oblong or circular. Most adult multivitamins come in this form.
- Gummies: Many multivitamins for children come in gummy form and should be chewed before swallowing them. They’re often fruit-flavored.
- Liquid: If you have difficulty swallowing tablets and don’t want to chew your multivitamin, a liquid multivitamin is a good alternative. Since it’s liquid, the body can also absorb it more easily and quickly.
Count
Both tablet and gummy multivitamins usually specify the count on the label of the container. The count ranges from 30 to 120, on average. Gummies often have a smaller count than capsules. Liquid supplements are typically between 8 and 32 ounces.
How much you can expect to spend on a Centrum multivitamin
Centrum multivitamins cost $10-$30, on average. Gummies usually cost more for a smaller count than tablets.
Centrum multivitamin FAQ
Do Centrum multivitamins have an expiration date?
A. All dietary supplements have an expiration date based on the least stable ingredient used. Check the packaging for the date. If you take multivitamins after that date, they could be less effective.
Do multivitamins gummies contain gluten or allergens?
A. Centrum multivitamin gummies do not contain crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, eggs, milk, soy, fish, wheat or peanuts. They are also gluten-free.

Las Vegas home prices falling after heated run
In the summer of 2006, Las Vegas’ housing market was showing some cracks.
Prices had slipped and sales totals were down. If people weren’t “motivated” to sell or weren’t “realistic,” they should “wait until market conditions change” before they list their place, the head of Southern Nevada’s main housing association said at the time.
Ultimately, the housing market ended up spiraling down for years.
Today? Las Vegas has again seen prices fall after a heated run.
The median sales price of previously owned single-family homes — the bulk of the market — was $480,000 in June, down $2,000 from the record-high set in May, trade association Las Vegas Realtors reported.
The price dip was a small one — just 0.4 percent — but it marked the first time in more than two years that Southern Nevada’s median house price fell month-to-month.
Of course, there’s no way to predict where Las Vegas’ housing market will head in the coming months. Just because prices fell last month for the first time in a while doesn’t automatically mean they will keep going south.
But overall, the market is cooling off as higher mortgage rates wipe out the cheap money that fueled America’s unexpected housing boom after the pandemic hit, making it all the more expensive to buy a home after a year of huge price gains.
The average rate on a 30-year home loan was 5.3 percent as of last week, down from 5.7 percent the week before but up from 2.9 percent a year ago, mortgage-finance giant Freddie Mac reported.
In Southern Nevada, home sales have been sliding, inventory has shot higher, and more sellers have been slashing prices in recent months as buyers face increased borrowing costs.
On the resale side, about 2,670 single-family homes traded hands in June, down 8 percent from May and the third consecutive month-to-month drop, according to Las Vegas Realtors data.
Nearly 5,750 houses were on the market without offers at the end of June, up from around 1,740 as recently as February.
Nationally, about 60,000 home-purchase agreements fell through last month, comprising almost 15 percent of homes that went under contract in June, real estate brokerage Redfin reported.
That was the highest cancellation rate since March and April of 2020 “when the housing market all but ground to a halt due to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic,” the firm noted.
Redfin said last month it was laying off around 470 employees, comprising some 6 percent of its workforce, and warned that home sales could be down for years.
Housing markets are prone to ups, downs and other shifts, especially in Southern Nevada, where the past 20 years of home prices comprise nothing short of a stomach-churning roller-coaster ride.
Those who lived here during the mid-2000s bubble and its devastating aftermath will have a hard time forgetting that period in particular. Las Vegas’ frenzy of rapidly rising property values and booming construction was followed by plunging prices, sweeping foreclosures and abandoned construction sites.
And while there’s no guarantee a crash of that magnitude won’t happen again, the real estate run-up of the past few years was bound to end at some point.

PARIS (AP) — Strong winds and hot, dry weather are frustrating French firefighters’ efforts to contain a huge wildfire that raced across pine forests in the Bordeaux region Saturday for a fifth straight day, one of several scorching Europe this week.
Among the worst fires have been in Portugal, where the pilot of a firefighting plane died Friday when his plane crashed while on an operation in the northeast. It was the first fatality in fires in Portugal so far this year, which have injured more than 160 people this week and forced hundreds to be evacuated.
Fire season has hit parts of Europe earlier than usual this year after an unusually dry, hot spring that left the soil parched, and that authorities attribute to climate change.
As the worst French fire moved closer to inhabited towns, some of the 11,000 people evacuated in the region described fear and uncertainty about what they’d find when they get back home. Images shared by firefighters showed flames shooting across a mass of pine trees and black smoke stretching across the horizon.
Firefighters focused efforts Saturday on using fire trucks to surround villages at risk and save as many homes as possible, Charles Lafourcade, overseeing the French firefighting operation, told reporters at the scene.
Some 3,000 firefighters backed by water-dumping planes are battling the blazes in southern France, the president said, and Greece sent firefighting equipment to help.
French firefighters managed to contain one of the worst fires overnight, near the Atlantic coast resort of Arcachon that is popular with tourists from around Europe, the regional emergency service said Saturday.
But it said “tough meteorological conditions” thwarted efforts to contain the biggest fire in the region, which started in the town of Landiras, south of a valley of Bordeaux vineyards. Regional prosecutors suspect arson.
The two fires have burned at least 9,650 hectares (23,800 acres) of land in recent days.
A similar scene is playing out in Portugal, where more than 1,000 firefighters worked Saturday alongside ordinary citizens desperate to save their homes after a long week of battling multiple blazes that kept flaring up around the country. The fires have been fanned by earlier-than-usual extreme temperatures and drought conditions.
Portuguese state television RTP reported Friday that the area burned this year has already exceeded the total for 2021. More than 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) of land has been burned, it said, most in the past week.
Across the border, Spain was struggling to contain several fires, including two that have burned about 7,400 hectares (18,200 acres) of land.
In southern Andalusia, some 3,000 people were evacuated from villages in danger from a blaze started near the village of Mijas in the province of Malaga. Around 200 firefighters supported by 18 aircraft tried to contain the fire. Authorities were investigating its cause.
For a sixth day, firefighters were also trying to bring under control a fire started by a lightning strike in the west-central Las Hurdes area. Some 400 people from eight villages were evacuated Friday as the flames approached their houses and threatened to spread into the nearby Monfrague National Park.
Croatia and Hungary have also fought wildfires this week, as have California and Morocco.
Many European countries are facing exceptional heat this month also attributed to climate change.
Portuguese authorities said a July national high of 47 degrees Celsius (117 Fahrenheit) was registered in the northern town of Pinhao on Wednesday.
Britain’s Met Office weather agency issued its first-ever “red warning” of extreme heat for Monday and Tuesday, when temperatures in southern England are forecast to reach 37 Celsius (98.6 Fahrenheit).
“All heat waves studied so far in Europe are getting warmer,” said Robert Vautard of the Pierre-Simon Laplace Institute at the Sorbonne University. “As long as greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced to zero, heatwaves will continue to intensify, become more frequent and last longer.”
In Turkey — the scene of devastating wildfires last summer — local media reported fires in the western province of Izmir and in Hatay, lying between the Mediterranean and the Syrian border.
Helicopters, planes and hundreds of firefighters tackled the blazes, the Cumhuriyet newspaper and other media reported.
Fires fed by strong winds and scorching temperatures last year tore through Turkey’s Mediterranean and Aegean regions, killing at least eight people. The fires led to criticism of the government for its inadequate preparation and response.

Hilaria Baldwin is getting candid about the toll her pregnancies have taken on her body. The expectant mother took to Instagram on Thursday to reflect on how her latest pregnancy has been different than her previous ones.
Hilaria and her husband, Alec Baldwin, are currently expecting their seventh child together. The proud mom gave birth to Carmen, 8, Rafael, 7, Leonardo, 5, Romeo, 4, and Eduardo, 1. The couple welcomed their youngest child, 1-year-old Lucia, via surrogate.
"As I begin the final trimester of this pregnancy, I feel my body slowing down," Hilaria wrote. "I love exercising while pregnant and feel grateful that my pregnancies have allowed for me to be active. We all know that every pregnancy is different and much control we have to let go to nature and listen to what our reality is."
Hilaria noted that 10 years separate her first pregnancy and her current one, writing, "Age and wear and tear of so many pregnancies and babies are things I def feel."
"I was looking at old photos of the babes and I found this video from a few years ago," she wrote of the clip, which shows her doing squats and stretches in black high-heeled boots. "These are exercises I do now and will be some of the first I go back to after I give birth. Lots of pelvic floor concentration here with squats. Obvs no heels…you guys know me: always moving around with whatever I am wearing."
The specific exercises, she wrote, are part of "respecting the slowing down process" of pregnancy, before beginning "the slow rev up again after baby."
"The expansion and contraction of the body," she wrote. "How grateful I am to have these experiences in my life’s story."
In a March statement to ET, Hilaria and Alec confirmed they're expecting their seventh child. "Our capacity to love continues to expand and we can't wait to embrace our new little one this fall!" they said in part.
"Hilaria and Alec are overwhelmingly excited about her pregnancy news. The kids love being part of a big family and can't wait to meet their new sibling. They feel like they're a big team," a source told ET shortly thereafter. "Hilaria and Alec are doing great and absolutely love being parents. The family has an incredible bond. Everyone is overjoyed."
In May, the couple revealed their baby on the way is a girl. The next month, Hilaria shared a sonogram photo of her daughter.

Kim Kardashian Flies to Australia to be with BF Pete Davidson
Kim Kardashian I'll Fly Thousands of Miles ... To Boo Up with Pete!!!
7/16/2022 6:25 AM PT
Kim Kardashian has reunited with her boyfriend Pete Davidson ... flying thousands of miles to Australia to reunite after 4 weeks apart.
Kim took her insane private jet to Queensland ... where' Pete's been working on a flick called "Wizards!" with Orlando Bloom.
BTW ... this is what you get when you own a $100 million private jet -- you have all sorts of room to gussy yourself up before deplaning, 'cause she looked pretty spectacular walking down those stairs.
And, of course, the cadre of helpers, including an umbrella holder to shield her from the elements.
She's supposed to be there for just a few days, but it underscores the seriousness of the relationship. Who knows what will happen, but Pete's already unofficially part of the Kardashian brood ... even filming for their Hulu reality show.
Pete's film is a comedy, described by Deadline as "two hapless pothead beach-bar operators who run into trouble when they stumble across stolen loot that they really should have just left alone."
'[I'm] definitely a family guy. My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid. That's, like, my dream. Yeah and so it's, like, super corny," he told Kevin Hart in a teaser for his show "Hart to Heart" posted on Tuesday.
"It would be so fun dress up a little dude, like, or you know, like, you saw it's just, like, I'm so excited for, like, that chapter. So, like, that's kind of what I'm just preparing for now, is trying to be, like, as good of a dude and develop and get better so when that happens, it's just easier."
They've now been dating for at least 10 months, and maybe longer. He just dropped some news on Kevin Hart's show ... that he really wants kids. As you know, Kim has 4 ... unclear if she has designs to have more, but her mom had 6, so ....
It seems Kanye's off their case, so it's clear sailing -- and flying -- for Kim and Pete. | https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/16/kim-kardashian-pete-davidson-australia-boyfriend-film/ | 2022-07-16T14:54:52Z | https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/16/kim-kardashian-pete-davidson-australia-boyfriend-film/ | true | 1 |

Xavi misses Barcelona's pre-season tour flight amid Robert Lewandowski signing due to THIS reason
FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta had to sell 10% of the team's Spanish league television rights for the next 25 years in exchange for 207.5 million euros (USD 207.5 million)
- Barca are set to sign Lewandowski for 50 million euros
- Barca have sold 10% of their TV rights for next 25 years in order to make signings this summer

FC Barcelona coach Xavi missed the team flight to Miami where the Catalans are set to face Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Miami and New York Red Bulls for their preseason games, the club confirmed on Saturday (July 16). After Xavi being a huge influence in the Ousmane Dembele signing his extension on a pay-cut, fans believe that Xavi also has a huge hand in Barcelona agreeing on verbal terms with Bayern Munich for the signing of forward Robert Lewandowski.
However, the club said that Xavi has missed his the flight due to the problems with his passport. The club said that Xavi was unable to travel on the team flight on Saturday "due to administrative reasons and his passport."
Barcelona's Twitter account posted videos of several of its players boarding an airplane at the Barcelona airport on Saturday. Barcelona will play Inter Miami in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on July 19. It will then face fierce rival Madrid in Las Vegas on July 23, before playing Juventus in Dallas on July 26 and the NY Red Bulls in New Jersey on July 30. (WATCH: Robert Lewandowski scores five goals in nine minutes to create history)
Robert Lewandowski said goodbye to Bayern teammates and will sign the contract in the next 24 hours in order to become new Barcelona player. It's agreed since end of February. #FCB

Barcelona are set to sign Poland striker Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich after the two European clubs have reached an agreement in principle for Striker's move to Camp Nou, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press.
Moreover, it is believed that Xavi was in contact with Robert for months explaining him the project and his desire to play for FC Barcelona sealed the deal for the Spanish club. The person, who spoke under anonymity because he was not allowed to speak publicly about the deal, said that the official confirmation of the deal could come on Saturday. Spanish media reports that the transfer would cost Barcelona some 50 million euros (USD 50.4 million).
The 33-year-old Lewandowski, one of the most prolific goalscorers of the past decade, would be a handy boost in Barcelona's chances of rebuilding a competitive team after winning nothing last season following the departure of Messi, its all-time top scorer.
Lewandowski scored 312 goals in 384 Bundesliga games for Bayern and previous club Borussia Dortmund. He hit 35 goals in 34 appearances last season to become the Bundesliga's leading scorer for the seventh time overall.
Barcelona also gets a proven winner. Lewandowski helped Bayern win the 2020 Champions League, after it humiliated Barcelona 8-2 in the quarterfinals. He also scooped up 10 Bundesliga titles, four German Cups, and a Club World Cup with the Bavarian powerhouse.
Robert Lewandowski: “These 8 years were special and I won't forget that. I had a great time in Munich”, he tells @Sky_Torben. #FCBayern
“I will come back to say goodbye to all employees properly”, Lewa says ahead of his move to Barcelona. pic.twitter.com/w91XYTODZ0 — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 16, 2022
Only the dominance of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo has likely stopped Lewandowski from receiving more individual accolades. But Lewandowski said in late May that "my story with Bayern Munich is over" after contract extension talks with Bayern broke down. He had one more season left on his contact with Bayern.
He will now join a team coached by Xavi Hernandez that relied on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres for its goals after they joined last winter. He will also have Spain's young and gifted midfielders Pedri Gonzalez and Gavi to set him up.
Barcelona is mired in debt mostly due to the huge transfer fees and salaries paid out by its previous president and board. In order to make signings this summer, current president Joan Laporta had to sell 10% of the team's Spanish league television rights for the next 25 years in exchange for 207.5 million euros (USD 207.5 million).
Now, with a veteran like Lewandowski soon to be on board, the club is clearly betting on winning titles again in the short term. Last season, Barcelona finished a distant second in Spain to Madrid and failed to advance beyond the Champions League group phase. Lewandowski has won eight Bundesliga titles along with 3 DFP Pokal Cups, 3 UEFA Champions League and a FIFA Club World Cup trophy during his time at Bayern Munich. (With PTI inputs)

The Hamptons has its very own Goldilocks — a woman who has been walking into houses in the posh village of Westhampton Beach, bedding down and spooking residents who pay as much as $250,000 for a summer rental.
According to Westhampton Beach Police reports, Peace Ofoego, 32, has been busted three times for trespassing since the end of May, although she has entered seven properties in the village. In some cases, home owners declined to press charges, according to police reports obtained by The Post.
She was first spotted in Westhampton Beach on Memorial Day weekend, when a resident reported to police “a black female wearing a black trench coat and sandals” wandering the backyard construction site of his four-bedroom rental property about a mile away from the village’s train station.
Ofoego told police on May 29 that she had no identification or credit cards because she had recently been robbed while living in Washington, DC. She said she had traveled to New York City a few days earlier, and had boarded the Long Island Railroad to Westhampton Beach, a quiet seaside village of 1,900 residents, to find a hotel room near the ocean, according to a police report.
After that first “suspicious incident” report, police helped Ofoego find a local homeless shelter where she said she wanted to charge her computer “and transfer funds to an account.”
But the statuesque wanderer, who is often dressed completely in black, didn’t stay put.
Days later, on June 2, a resident found Ofoego on the deck of her sprawling $275,000 eight-bedroom rental on tony Dune Road, and called police. This time officers charged Ofoego with criminal trespass.
She had passed through an unlocked gate that leads from the beach and entered the house through the unlocked back deck, where she seemed content to lounge while waiting for police to show up, according to the report.
“Subject stated she was staying at a house down the road and entered the stated residence to ask somebody about a restaurant to eat at,” said the police report.
Two days later, on June 4, Ofoego was spotted “staying” in the pool house of another Dune Road property that rents for $34,999 a month, according to a recent listing. John Mallon, owner of the home, told officers that while he wanted to document the incident, he did not want to press charges, according to the police report. While an officer was attempting to find a local homeless shelter for Ofoego, “Peace began walking away,” the officer wrote in his report, adding that he warned her that if she kept wandering into village homes she would again be arrested for trespassing.
“She left the area on foot,” wrote the officer.
Ofoego spends most days on her feet, walking through the village and along the beach. Sometimes she wears the black trench coat and a black knit beanie under the blazing afternoon sun. And since she showed up in the serene village, where many residents don’t bother locking their doors, police have advised them to do so.
On the Westhampton Beach Community Forum Facebook page, residents have reported several sightings of Ofoego — on the village’s back roads, on Main Street, at a gazebo where bands play in the summertime and at the local marina, where one resident spotted her dancing in the early morning at the end of May.
So far, Ofoego has largely refused offers of help from the police, although she reportedly sometimes reaches out to locals when she finds herself in a bind.
“A few weeks ago, she approached me in Lidl asking for help,” wrote Marie Costelli. “She needed money to pay for her groceries. As I was handing her some cash, which she took, a man who may have been the store manager asked her to leave. I felt sorry for her. I hope she gets the help she needs.”
Another local was in the village courtroom during Ofoego’s appearance on trespassing charges earlier this month. She has already had two court appearances in the village, on July 6 and July 13, according to the village justice clerk. At both hearings, she refused a public defender, and said she intends to defend herself. Her trespassing case has been adjourned until July 27.
“She was in court the other day, the same time I was, and she was arguing with the judge,” said Liam Anthony DeFronzo on the community Facebook page. “It seemed to me she is angry with where she is in life and with the system. Ultimately, it seems like she’s looking for a place to sleep, but of course you never know what she might do and it’s not acceptable to break into homes. Does she truly want help in finding some sort of shelter and is doing this as a cry for help? I don’t know, but I felt compelled to help her the other day in the court room.”
Days earlier, when officers tried to serve her with a subpoena to appear in court, she told them they were harassing her. “I will sue you,” she said, according to the police report.
Although a few residents said they have approached Ofoego, many told The Post they were frustrated they couldn’t help. One described her as “reticent.”
On Monday, The Post spotted Ofoego walking through the parking lot of the local firehouse. Carrying a colorful beach bag, she told a reporter that she was born in Nigeria, but has lived in the US for the last 13 years. She said she initially came to the US when she was 19 years old, settling in Baton Rouge, La., where she began studying medical science at Southern University.
Ofoego added that her father is a journalist in Nigeria, and that she was educated at boarding schools before coming to the US. She said she had left an abusive husband in Florida and made her way to Washington, DC, then New York, where she was violently pushed down subway stairs in May. The Post could find no record of the incident. She also said that her parents in Nigeria were aware of her predicament but could do nothing.
“All I want is just some simple kindness from strangers,” she said as she walked away. “But no one cares about me.”
On Wednesday, Ofoego told a Post photographer that she didn’t know that access to the beaches in the Hamptons is restricted to local residents. “I didn’t know there are no black people in Westhampton,” she added.
Ofoego told police in May that she has no friends or family on Long Island, but has at least one relative in Louisiana, an aunt. When police called Ugoo Onyenekwu, she told them that Ofoego was “moving around looking for a location where she could regain custody of her children who are currently in California,” according to a police report.
It’s not clear how many children Ofoego has, but on Nov. 4, 2020, police in Orlando, Fla., stopped her for “failure to register a motor vehicle” and, according to Orange County court records, she had “seven juvenile passengers” in a car. Police said she produced “a foreign passport” as identification and failed to show up at her arraignment. In 2017, she was stopped by police in Lake County, Fla., and charged with driving without a license. Ofoego claimed that she never had one, according to public records.
She has lived in several places in Florida over the last few years, and worked with Marquis Duvuall Hudson, her husband, for a company called Meticulous Cleaning Services in Boca Raton, according to public records. Hudson, now 40, was charged with resisting arrest and assaulting a Florida cop in 2017. He was sentenced to 11 months in prison, court records show.
A year later, he allegedly struck a newly pregnant Ofoego. A day after Christmas in 2018, Ofoego, called police in Pompano Beach and said that five days earlier, she had a fight with Hudson while they were putting cleaning supplies in a storage locker. Hudson “was accusing her of trying to leave the country” and the two got into an argument during which “Marquis grabbed her around her throat and began choking her.” She told police that she was having trouble breathing and nearly passed out.
“I asked Peace if Marquis is capable of killing her or her children, [to] which she stated, ‘yes,'” wrote Tobias Andrews, the police officer who recorded the incident. “Marquis at the time of the battery was aware Peace is pregnant.”
Hudson was charged with “domestic battery to a pregnant female” but when Ofoego failed to show up in court to provide testimony, the case was thrown out, court records show.
In Westhampton Beach, Ofoego’s final encounter with the police took place on June 24 at a”quintessential beachfront estate” that features seven bedrooms and was listed for rent at $280,000 for July and August. Ofoego walked into a second-story bedroom, startling the owner. Police were called and arrested her; while they were processing her paperwork at the Westhampton Beach police department later that evening, Ofoego told cops that they had been mistaken. She wasn’t trespassing, she said.
“I went inside to look at the rental,” she said. “You just want to arrest me. All I did was look for a rental.” | https://nypost.com/2022/07/16/goldilocks-caught-sleeping-at-lavish-estates-in-the-hamptons/ | 2022-07-16T15:04:31Z | https://nypost.com/2022/07/16/goldilocks-caught-sleeping-at-lavish-estates-in-the-hamptons/ | true | 2 |

By incorporating foundational movement patterns into a workout, you can improve your ability to move safely and effectively in tons of day-to-day scenarios, whether you’re climbing the stairs, picking up a heavy load of laundry, or standing up and down from the couch. Basically, the movements of life should start to feel easier.
“When you're following the movement patterns, you're replicating more of what's going to be happening in your day-to-day life and that gives us the ability to do our daily activities a little more easily with less tax,” certified personal trainer Alicia Jamison, a coach at Bodyspace Fitness in New York City, tells SELF. Basic movement patterns also deliver good bang-for-your-exercise buck, since they involve multiple joints working at once, which is a great way to smoke several muscle groups simultaneously.
Jamison designed the beginner legs workout below for SELF that features foundational movement patterns and will help beginners build well-balanced strength in their hamstrings, glutes, and quads. It also provides sneaky cardio thanks to the higher rep count that will probably leave you feeling a little breathless.
Moreover, this workout is straightforward (there are just four moves) and you don’t need any equipment to get it done. “Building strength should be simple,” says Jamison. Instead of loading your workouts with dozens of different exercises, “you're going to see more adaptations, more gains when you stick to the same movement.” That’s because, as Jamison explains it, “the more often that you repeat that movement, the stronger you get in that movement.” And once you master the bodyweight version of these four moves, you can start to gradually add external resistance with tools like dumbbells to make the moves more challenging and continue building your strength.
Beginners can do this lower-body workout one day a week, suggests Jamison. Just be sure to warm up first to increase your chances of an effective, injury-free workout. The warm-up doesn’t need to be complicated; try these five pre-workout stretches that will ready your body for any routine.

Ukraine: Russian attacks kill 10; US condemns deportations
Russian missile strikes in Ukraine's southern city of Mykolaiv killed at least five people, Ukrainian authorities said Wednesday, part of a series of artillery and missile barrages across the country in the past day that left at least 10 dead and dozens wounded in eastern and southern regions.
While Mykolaiv has repeatedly been the target of Russian fire in recent days, Russian missiles also struck the city of Zaporizhzhia on Wednesday, an attack that could signal Moscow's determination to hold onto territory in Ukraine's south as it aims to fully conquer the east. Ukrainian forces have stepped up actions in a bid to reclaim more territory in the south.
Also Wednesday, the top U.S. diplomat accused Russia of committing a “war crime" by forcibly deporting hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men, women and children to Russia with the intention of changing Ukraine's demographic makeup.
Some of the civilian deaths occurred in the Donetsk province, which is part of a region the Kremlin is intent on capturing. The city of Bakhmut faced particularly heavy shelling as the current focus of Russia's offensive, Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said.
In the adjacent Luhansk province, which Russian and separatist forces have all but conquered, Ukrainian soldiers battled to retain control of two outlying villages as they came under Russian shelling, Gov. Serhiy Haidai said.
Luhansk and Donetsk together make up the Donbas region, a mostly Russian-speaking region of steel factories, mines and other industries.
The Russians are “deliberately turning Donbas into ashes, and there will be just no people left on the territories captured,” Haidai said.
With Russia’s sights set on the east, the Ukrainian military has tried to reclaim a captured city in the south. More Ukrainian missiles rocked Nova Kakhovka, a city east of the Black Sea port of Kherson, on Wednesday night, a day after the Ukrainian military claimed to have used missiles to destroy a Russian ammunition depot there. Russia said a mineral fertilizer storage facility had exploded.
More ammunition depots were hit late Wednesday, regional officials said. Russian news agency RIA Novosti, citing Russian-appointed officials in the occupied region, reported Russian air defenses intercepted five incoming Ukrainian missiles. Social media posts showed large fiery explosions.
In the Russian attack on the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, two cruise missiles hit a factory and wounded 14 people, Ukrainian officials said. The regional governor posted a photo showing the rubble. The UNIAN news agency said the factory management had evacuated the staff to bomb shelters, which it said may have saved their lives.
Russian artillery also rained on northeast Ukraine, where the regional governor, Oleg Syniehubov, accused Russian forces of trying to “terrorize civilians” in Kharkiv, the country's second-largest city.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, meanwhile, strongly condemned the “unlawful transfer and deportation of protected persons" from areas in Ukraine that Russia now controls.
“Russian authorities must release those detained and allow Ukrainian citizens forcibly removed or coerced into leaving their country the ability to promptly and safely return home," Blinken said in a statement.
Blinken said an estimated 900,000 to 1.6 million Ukrainian citizens — including 260,000 children — have been interrogated, detained and deported to Russia, with some sent to the country's far east.
“Moscow’s actions appear premeditated and draw immediate historical comparisons to Russian ‘filtration’ operations in Chechnya and other areas," the U.S. official said. “President (Vladimir) Putin’s ‘filtration' operations are separating families, confiscating Ukrainian passports, and issuing Russian passports in an apparent effort to change the demographic makeup of parts of Ukraine."
Blinken cited mounting evidence that Russian authorities are detaining, torturing or “disappearing” thousands of Ukrainian civilians who Russia considers a threat because of their potential ties to the Ukrainian army, media, government or civil society groups. Some Ukrainians, according to reports, have been summarily executed.
“President Putin and his government will not be able to engage in these systematic abuses with impunity. Accountability is imperative," said Blinken. “The United States and our partners will not be silent. Ukraine and its citizens deserve justice."
Meanwhile, Ukrainian and Russian officials met face-to-face Wednesday for the first time in months. Military delegations from the two countries, along with Turkish and U.N. officials, discussed a potential deal to get grain out of Ukraine's blockaded and mined ports through the Black Sea.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the two sides took “a critical step forward” toward an agreement.
Ukraine is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but Russia’s invasion has halted shipments, endangering food supplies in many developing countries and contributing to higher global prices.
The Ukrainian foreign minister says grain exports from his country’s ports won’t resume without security guarantees for ship owners, cargo owners and Ukraine as an independent nation.
In other developments:
— The leader of a Moscow-backed separatist government in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk province said foreign fighters convicted of terrorism and trying to overturn constitutional order for helping Ukrainian troops have appealed their death sentences. If the court rejects the appeals, two British men and a Moroccan could face a firing squad . Donetsk separatist leader Denis Pushilin said about 100 members of a Ukrainian National Guard battalion captured after the fall of Mariupol were scheduled to appear before a court soon.
— North Korea recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, joining just Russia and Syria that have done so. North Korea’s state media said the country’s foreign minister conveyed to the leaders of the breakaway regions the North's willingness to develop diplomatic relations. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry cut off diplomatic ties with North Korea in response. Political and economic contacts were suspended earlier due to sanctions over North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Separatists have controlled parts of both the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces since 2014, but Putin recognized their independence only shortly before the invasion began in February.
— The United Nations refugee agency reported that most Ukrainian refugees want to return home but plan to wait until the war subsides. Nearly two-thirds plan to stay put in their host countries for now. The vast majority of refugees from Ukraine are women and children. The U.N. agency's findings came in a survey based on 4,900 interviews with refugees in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
— Ukraine's emergency services agency said the death toll from a weekend Russian airstrike in the Donetsk town of Chasiv Yar rose to 47. Rescue crews continued searching for survivors Wednesday in the rubble of three apartment buildings hit by Russian missiles on Saturday.

THE Police in Edo on Friday said they arrested a 24-year-old suspect, Ahmed Ibrahim, for allegedly stealing Television sets from a hotel in Ekpoma.
The command’s Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Jennifer Iwegbu, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Friday in Benin.
Iwegbu said, “On 14/07/2022 Ekpoma area command received complaint from One Mr Adekunle Olalekun, the manager of Mindcast Hotel, Ekpoma, that Ibrahim booked three rooms in his hotel.
“Shortly after booking the rooms, the said Ibrahim left the hotel unnoticed with his luggage that he came in with.

A look at what’s happening around the majors on Saturday:
___
THE FUTURE IS NOW
The All-Star Game festivities start in earnest with the Futures Game, where some of the best prospects in Major League Baseball will play a seven-inning matchup at Dodger Stadium.
Among the minor leaguers set to play are: 20-year-old Mets catcher Francisco Álvarez, the No. 2-rated prospect in the majors; Texas pitcher Jack Leiter, son of former big league pitcher Al Leiter; and Washington second baseman Darren Baker, son of Houston manager Dusty Baker.
Former All-Star catcher and longtime manager Mike Scioscia will guide the NL squad, back in the ballpark where his Los Angeles Dodgers won two World Series championships. Three-time All-Star shortstop Jimmy Rollins will manage the AL side.
V FOR VERLANDER
Justin Verlander wraps up a dominant first half in his return from Tommy John surgery when he starts at home for Houston against the A’s.
Verlander (11-3, 2.00 ERA) tries to become the first pitcher in the majors this season with 12 wins. He’s won three straight starts, allowing just two earned runs in 21 innings.
This is the ninth time Verlander has been chosen as an All-Star. With the Midsummer Classic on Tuesday, it’s uncertain whether the 38-year-old right-hander will be able to pitch an inning in the game on only two days’ rest.
SEE YOU SOON?
Several big hitters will face each other, ahead of possibly squaring off in the All-Star Home Run Derby on Monday night in Los Angeles.
At Nationals Park, Ronald Acuña Jr. and the Braves will take on Juan Soto and Washington. In Texas, Mariners rookie Julio Rodríguez plays against Corey Seager and the Rangers.
CENTRALIZATION
Dylan Bundy and the Minnesota Twins aim to extend their AL Central lead when they host the White Sox at Target Field.
Bundy (5-4, 4.68 ERA) is trying to regain his form after winning his first three start of the season. He’s won just two of his last 13 outings.
Lance Lynn (1-2, 6.97) was tagged by Cleveland for a season-high eight runs in four innings in his last start.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — The Latest on the British Open (all times local):
___
3:30 p.m.
Shane Lowry chipped in for eagle on successive holes around the turn at the British Open to provoke some of the biggest roars on the Old Course and move into contention for another claret jug.
The 2019 champion hit a wedge from wispy rough to the left of the green at No. 9 and the ball landed short of the pin before rolling in.
His pitch at No. 10 was from the fairway and took a similar line into the hole.
The Irishman is the first player to have back-to-back eagles at the British Open since Phil Mickelson at Royal Lytham in 2001. They came on back-to-back par 5s.
Lowry jumped to 9 under for the tournament and was four shots off the lead held by Cameron Smith, who has yet to tee off.
___
2:35 p.m.
As an academy professional and senior instructor at St. Andrews, Scott Herald has played at the home of golf countless times.
Nothing compared to his latest round at the Old Course.
Herald was informed late Friday that because of the uneven number of players — 83 — to make the cut at the British Open, he could be a marker with Richard Mansell in the first group out in the third round.
“Definitely special. Goosebumps, really,” said Herald, whose tee shot at the first almost went out of bounds.
He closed with a birdie.
Herald tried to get into the Open through local qualifying but missed out. He says he has been a pro for 14 years, playing on the minor tours.
Herald will play with Mansell again on Sunday, provided there are no withdrawals.
___
1:20 p.m.
It's shaping up to be a day of low scoring at a sunny St. Andrews.
Kevin Kisner, out in the second group of the day, had an eagle putt from 21 yards for a 63 that would have tied the low round at a major at the home of golf.
He wound up making par at No. 18 and settled for a 7-under 65. Kisner's playing partner, fellow American Trey Mullinax, shot 66.
Richard Mansell went out alone to start the third round and shot 68.
Of the first nine players to complete their rounds, six shot in the 60s — including 2018 champion Francesco Molinari's 66.
___
10 a.m.
The Old Course is vulnerable without much wind at the British Open. If anyone needs proof, just take a look at Kevin Kisner. The American made the cut on the number at even par. He already has five birdies through the opening seven holes.
The R&A has been tucking pins throughout the week when the forecast is for little wind, and there are a few tough ones for Saturday's third round.
Kisner's great start is little more than that. Cameron Smith was still six hours from starting his round with a two-shot lead.

Arsenal prepare £40m Edmond Tapsoba transfer bid as Mikel Arteta continues summer spending plans on defender
ARSENAL are reportedly weighing up a £42.5million move to bring Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba to the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta is known to be in the market for another centre-back to compete with Ben White, Gabriel Magaelhaes and William Saliba.
Ajax's Lisandro Martinez had been eyed up as an option with the Argentine ace able to play in the heart of defence as well as at left-back.
But he opted to join Manchester United, leaving Arsenal to turn to Zinchenko for full-back cover as they near a £30m deal for the Manchester City man.
The Ukraine international's arrival in North London will bring Arsenal’s summer spending to £115million following the signings of Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos and Matt Turner.
And the Gunners will not be slowing down in terms of future incomings, with a centre-back, central midfielder and winger all on the menu.
According to Football Transfers, Arsenal have identified Leverkusen's Burkina Faso star Tapsoba as a potential option.
The Premier League side were interested in the player last summer, but they opted to sign White instead.
It has been said that Leverkusen value Tapsoba, who is tied down in Germany until 2026, at between £34m-£42.5m.
Arsenal are now claimed to be lining up an offer for the towering 6ft 4in defender.

Speaking earlier this month, Bayer's sporting director Simon Rolfes insisted Tapsoba is not for sale.
He said: "We don't have any offers on the table.
"And if we did, we wouldn't let him go."
Despite the uncertainty surrounding William Saliba's future, it is understood that any deal for Tapsoba wouldn't mean an exit for the Frenchman.
The 21-year-old is set for his second Arsenal debut later on Saturday in the club's pre-season clash against Everton in Baltimore. | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/9109589/arsenal-edmond-tapsoba-bayer-leverkusen/ | 2022-07-16T15:29:27Z | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/9109589/arsenal-edmond-tapsoba-bayer-leverkusen/ | false | 4 |
TOPEKA (KSNT) – As the second day of Country Stampede comes to a close, thousands showed up to see their favorite country stars – even with the heat.
Even with the heat index hitting triple digits, that didn’t stop fans from cheering on some of the biggest names in country, welcoming to the stage tonight Randall King, Ian Munsic, Craig Morgan, Locash, and finishing up the evening with Jake Owen.
The heat is no joke, with several ways to keep yourself hydrated and cool throughout the event space.
Water spouts for refilling and rehydrating are around the park, in addition to some cool down and misting tents that can help regulate your body temperature.
27 spoke with a local official, on additional ways to keep yourself regulated for Saturday’s final performance.
“Alcohol can dehydrate you, so make sure you’re drinking a lot of water,” Trooper Tiffany Baylark said. “Find a shady place to get cooled off – try and get something on you to keep cool and get your body temperature down a little bit.”
If you’re heading out for the final day of stampede, make sure you’re keeping an eye on everyone in the group, and check for signs of dehydration and overheating. | https://www.ksnt.com/news/local-news/how-to-beat-the-heat-at-country-stampede-2022/ | 2022-07-16T15:34:13Z | https://www.ksnt.com/news/local-news/how-to-beat-the-heat-at-country-stampede-2022/ | true | 1 |

SKOPJE, North Macedonia (AP) — North Macedonia has approved a French proposal that opens the way for negotiations to join the European Union and overcome Bulgarian objections.
There were 68 votes in favor of the proposal in the 120-member chamber, with the leftist coalition, which has 61 seats, getting the backing of small ethnic Albanian parties. Opposition lawmakers left the chamber in protest, abstaining from the vote.
Protesters have gathered again outside Parliament, as have done every day for more than 10 days now. Protests have occasionally turned violent.
Under the proposal, announced by French President Emmanuel Macron last month, North Macedonia would commit to changing its constitution to recognize a Bulgarian minority, protect minority rights and banish hate speech, as Bulgaria, an EU member since 2007, has demanded.
The deal would also unblock the start of negotiations for neighboring Albania, another EU hopeful.
Macron had stressed that the proposal doesn’t question the official existence of a Macedonian language, but he had noted that, like all deals, it “rests on compromises and on a balance.”
But revising the constitution may prove too high a hurdle, since that requires a two-thirds majority, or 80 votes. The main opposition party, the center-right VMRO-DPMNE, and its allies, as well as a small leftist party, with 46 seats among them, have declared they will never agree to change the constitution.
Lawmakers also voted to make sure the negotiations with EU are conducted on an equal and principled basis, respecting the norms of international law, with unreserved respect for the Macedonian language and national identity.
The country’s ruling coalition has backed the proposal as a reasonable compromise that doesn’t endanger national interests or identity, while the opposition has denounced it a national betrayal that caves in to Bulgaria’s questioning North Macedonia’s history, language, identity, culture and heritage.
“This is a crime against the whole nation. Such a grave mistake has never had happened since the independence,” VMRO-DPMNE lawmaker Aleksandar Nikoloski said.
The French proposal has also roiled Bulgaria, where Prime Minister Kiril Petkov has accepted it. His centrist government was toppled in a no-confidence vote on June 22 when allies described Petkov’s willingness to lift the veto of North Macedonia into the EU as a “national betrayal.” | https://whnt.com/news/international/ap-international/north-macedonia-parliament-oks-deal-to-set-eu-bid-in-motion/ | 2022-07-16T15:38:16Z | https://whnt.com/news/international/ap-international/north-macedonia-parliament-oks-deal-to-set-eu-bid-in-motion/ | false | 10 |

Survey: 1 in 5 college students plan to transfer out of states with abortion bans
(Gray News) - The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision regarding Roe v. Wade has affected millions of Americans, including those attending colleges in states where abortion is currently illegal or soon will be.
Intelligent.com, an online magazine focusing on education, surveyed 1,000 current U.S. college students attending schools in states where abortion is currently or soon-to-be illegal.
The respondents were asked about their views on abortion and whether or not they plan to continue attending school in a state where they or their partners can access a safe, legal abortion.
According to the survey, 45% of college students in states where abortion is illegal shared they are planning to or considering transferring.
And 22% of students in states where abortion is currently or soon-to-be illegal, which includes 17 states, said they’re ‘definitely’ transferring to a different school in a state where abortion is still legal.
Another 25% of students are ‘considering’ transferring to a school in a state with legal abortion. The remaining 55% have no intentions to change schools based on abortion laws.
The survey also shared these further key findings:
- 39% of students who identify as ‘pro-life’ are planning to or considering transferring so they can access abortion care for themselves or their partner.
- 55% of Democrat students and 41% of Republican students at schools in states with abortion bans are definitely or potentially transferring.
- Three-fourths of pro-choice college students are ‘very concerned’ that a nationwide abortion ban is next.
- 1 in 5 college students plan to transfer away from schools in states with abortion bans.
Intelligent.com shared that the survey was conducted from July 1-4 and included 1,000 current U.S. college students ages 18-24 attending a four-year university.

Robert Lewandowski closer to Barcelona move as Bayern Munich reach agreement
Robert Lewandowski has moved another step closer to joining Barcelona after Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer announced an agreement has been reached with the Catalan club.
Lewandowski, 33, has one year left on his contract with Bayern but has made clear his desire to join Barca, who have put him at the top of their summer wishlist.
The Poland international scored 50 goals across 46 games last season to help Bayern win a 10th consecutive Bundesliga title, and he now has 344 goals in 374 appearances since arriving on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2014.
Hainer said: “It’s good to have clarity for all parties. We have come to a verbal agreement with Barcelona.
“Robert is an incredible player and he won everything with us. We are incredibly grateful to him.”
With Lewandowski apparently on his way out of the door, Bayern have tied down another attacking player with Serge Gnabry signing a new contract to end speculation linking the former Arsenal man with a return to the Premier League.

The 27-year-old has agreed a deal which runs until 2026.
“I thought a lot about what I want as a player in the coming years, and came to the conclusion that I want to stay at Bayern, win everything again here and experience things – in particular celebrating another Champions League title, but this time with our fans,” Gnabry said.
“It’s special because I get to play here with my friends at the highest level. It certainly wouldn’t feel the same at a different club. I want to experience more great moments here – and nowhere else. The hunger for major honours isn’t going away.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11020357/Robert-Lewandowski-closer-Barcelona-Bayern-Munich-reach-agreement.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-16T15:57:39Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11020357/Robert-Lewandowski-closer-Barcelona-Bayern-Munich-reach-agreement.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 7 |
Rapper Kodak Black arrested on drug charges in Florida
Rapper Kodak Black has been arrested in South Florida on charges of trafficking in oxycodone and possession of a controlled substance.
The rapper, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, was detained in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he awaits a bond hearing.
The Florida Highway Patrol said in a release that troopers pulled Black over because he was driving a purple SUV with window tints that appeared darker than the legal limit.
They detected a marijuana smell and then searched the SUV and found a small clear bag with 31 white tablets and almost 75,000 dollars £63,000) in cash. The tablets were later identified as oxycodone.
Officials said record checks also revealed that Black’s vehicle tag and driver’s licence had both expired.
Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, said on Twitter that “there are always additional facts and circumstances that give rise to a defence, especially in this case”.

“We will get him a bond today and move forward with resolving the matter quickly,” he said.
Black was also arrested earlier this year in South Florida on trespassing charges. Prosecutors later declined to proceed with the case.
In January 2020, then-US president Donald Trump commuted a three-year federal prison sentence the rapper had for falsifying documents used to buy weapons.
Black had served about half his sentence. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11020459/Rapper-Kodak-Black-arrested-drug-charges-Florida.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-16T15:57:59Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11020459/Rapper-Kodak-Black-arrested-drug-charges-Florida.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 11 |

King Sporty, a Jamaican musician identified as Noel Williams, was Wright’s husband from 1985 till his death in 2015. Two children were born to Wright and Williams as a family.
The shooting death of her son, Patrick Parker Jr., occurred on Christmas Day, 2005, in an unprovoked attack. 66-year-old Wright passed away from cancer at her Miami home on May 10, 2020. Her niece was the first to break the news of her mother’s death.
As recently as two days prior, Chaka Khan had tweeted, “Calling all my #PrayWarriors. Betty Wright @MsBettyWright, my dear sister, is in desperate need of your prayers right now.

DUNEDIN, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man’s battle with officials over his unkempt grass was lost on another front after a federal judge ruled in favor of the city that fined him nearly $30,000 for failing to mow the lawn.
James Ficken, of Dunedin, has fought off thousands of dollars of fines after city officials started issuing daily penalties in May 2018 as a result of “high grass” in his yard. Ficken and his attorneys with the Institute for Justice had previously argued in court that the fines were excessive, but the City of Dunedin countered that Ficken’s overgrown grass could “draw snakes, rats or other vermin” and potentially decrease property values, per a 2021 court decision.
On Thursday, an 11th Circuit federal judge again ruled in Dunedin’s favor, allowing their fines of almost $30,000 to proceed against Ficken. Ficken had previously said the fines could cost him his house.
He also said he’ll be appealing the latest ruling.
The Institute for Justice, a non-profit “public interest law firm,” released a statement on Friday, saying the penalties for Ficken’s violations were excessive.
“If a $30,000 fine for not mowing your lawn isn’t excessive, what is?” Andrew Ward, an attorney with the Institute for Justice, said. “A city or state cannot pass an unconstitutional law, and argue that because it is the law, it’s constitutional.”
The federal court disagreed. In their decision, the court said Florida statutes allow the fines for repeated violations of local ordinances and municipal code.
Ficken was fined starting in May 2018 when he was traveling outside of Florida to sell his late mother’s home. His lawyers said he returned home in mid-July of that year, and learned that the man he’d hired to cut his grass had unexpectedly died, and the grass had grown higher than the 10-inch height allowed by Dunedin city code.
Ficken discovered the city was planning to fine him close to $29,000 “by sheer happenstance, when a code inspector making near-daily visits to track his fines told him he would be getting ‘a big bill,'” his legal team said.
Ficken cut the grass immediately after, his attorney said, but the city still billed him almost $30,000.
Ficken had incurred daily fines for nearly three months between May and August 2018. Due to a previous warning from 2015, Dunedin officials classified Ficken as a “repeat offender,” which meant he could be immediately penalized with up to $500 in fines per day, according to the Institute for Justice.
After telling officials he didn’t have the money to pay that amount, they gave him 15 days to settle up, or they’d foreclose on his house. They later voted to foreclose, the law firm said.
Ficken now says he’ll appeal the latest federal court ruling, calling it a violation of his Eighth Amendment rights. (“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”)
“I’m astounded the court agreed the city could fine me $500 per day, without my knowledge, and then try to take my house — all to settle a bill for tall grass,” said Ficken, in a statement included with a media release issued by the Institute for Justice. “The court’s ruling is outrageous. If this can happen to me it can happen to anyone. That just can’t be right, and I’m looking forward to continuing my fight.” | https://cw39.com/cw39/florida-man-must-pay-nearly-30k-in-fines-for-tall-grass-federal-judge-rules/ | 2022-07-16T16:02:39Z | https://cw39.com/cw39/florida-man-must-pay-nearly-30k-in-fines-for-tall-grass-federal-judge-rules/ | true | 17 |
Witness tampering at Jan. 6 hearing? Cheney raises prospect
WASHINGTON — (AP) — In the latest Jan. 6 hearing, already standing out for its notable moments, Rep. Liz Cheney saved the most startling for last.
In her closing remarks, the co-chair of the House investigating committee said the panel had learned that former President Donald Trump had recently tried to contact a witness whom "you have not yet seen in these hearings."
The witness apparently recognized the caller ID, and did not answer the phone, instead contacting a lawyer, who then told the committee. The committee in turn referred the matter to the Justice Department.
Though much remains uncertain about the call, including its purpose and the intended recipient, the way it was described Tuesday raised the prospect that Trump or someone close to him was hoping to shape witness testimony in the ongoing congressional hearings into the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.
While the committee has focused largely on compiling a historical record of the attack and Trump's role in it, Cheney's assertions about the former president's phone call added another layer to the inquiry.
It was not the first time the committee has raised the possibility of witness tampering. Among its disclosures on that subject, last month the panel revealed that one witness had been contacted by someone it did not identify, reminding the person that they were perceived as "loyal” and would “do the right thing” at their deposition the next day.
The Justice Department declined to comment on Cheney's disclosure, and it was not clear whether prosecutors who are tracking the hearings might follow up on the outreach to witnesses.
Even so, such contact is problematic given how easy it is for prosecutors to read nefarious intent into it, and can be illegal in instances when someone instructs a witness in any official proceeding to lie, to not cooperate or to otherwise hinder an investigation.
“From a legal perspective, I’m advising my client, ‘Don’t make a call, don’t tell someone to make a call, don’t do anything where there’s any appearance where you’re trying to influence a witness,’” said Michael Weinstein, a former Justice Department prosecutor and criminal defense attorney in New Jersey.
Witness tampering prosecutions are relatively rare and when pursued are hardly slam dunks, Weinstein said, with prosecutors and defense lawyers often diverging on the meaning and intent of particular language to a witness.
The federal statute even says that defendants charged with witness tampering can raise as an affirmative defense that their sole intention was to encourage or induce a witness to testify truthfully.
“It’s a very difficult case because unless someone is explicit — i.e. ‘Don’t Testify. If you testify, I'm going to kill you' — there are a lot of nuances,” Weinstein said.
Instances cited by the Jan. 6 committee would appear to involve nuance. In one, a witness said they were told that "as long as I continue to be a team player, they know I'm on the right team. I'm doing the right thing. I'm protecting who I need to protect, you know, I'll continue to stay in good graces in Trump World."
The witness was reminded that Trump does read transcripts.
Another message described by the committee involved a witness who was contacted by a person purporting to pass along a message from someone "who wants me to let you know he’s thinking about you. He knows you’re loyal and you’re going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition."
None of the people were identified by the committee, but some media reports identified the person who got such a message as Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows.
The principal statute governing witness tampering applies to federal proceedings, whether congressional, executive or judicial, and prosecutors must generally establish that the offender knowingly sought to influence, delay or prevent a witness's testimony. A separate statute makes it a crime to intentionally obstruct a pending congressional proceeding.
That witnesses have described being contacted, or that Trump is said to have a keen interest in testimony or cooperation that could be damaging to him, is perhaps not surprising. Special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation documented numerous instances in which Trump or his associates made contact with people they feared could harm them.
Longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone was indicted, then convicted, of witness tampering charges that accused him of urging a witness in a congressional investigation to do a "Frank Pentangeli" — a reference to a character in "The Godfather: Part II" who lies to lawmakers. Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, also faced accusations that he sought to tamper with witness testimony.
In addition, Mueller's report cites an account from Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, that Trump called him a few days after the FBI served search warrants on Cohen and told the attorney to “hang in there” and to “stay strong.” Friends of Trump told Cohen that the president loved him and had his back.
At the time, Trump's business, the Trump Organization, was paying Cohen's legal fees, but Cohen has said that stopped after he began discussing with family and friends that he was considering cooperating with Mueller's investigation.
The Jan. 6 committee is also exploring payments and fees from Trump that have gone to people who have been asked to appear before the panel.
Trump’s sprawling fundraising operation paid at least $4.8 million for “legal expenses” to more than 30 different firms between February 2021 and May of this year, campaign finance disclosures show.
That includes a $50,000 payment to a law firm where one of Steve Bannon's lawyers is a partner. Bannon, a former White House strategist and Trump ally, is facing trial next week on charges of defying the Jan. 6 committee's subpoena. His lawyer, M. Evan Corcoran, did not return an email seeking comment.
Separately, the committee has noted that Trump's political action committee has made a $1 million charitable contribution to a foundation, the Conservative Partnership Institute, where Meadows is a senior partner. That contribution was made in July 2021, months before Meadows had halted his cooperation with the committee. A lawyer for Meadows declined to comment Wednesday.
The money was referenced last month by a committee investigator who alleged that large sums Trump raised from supporters to advance the lie that the election was stolen went to his PAC.
But proving that the payment to Meadows' foundation was in any way improper or meant to influence his testimony would be a significant challenge, said Steven Lubet, a Northwestern University law professor.
“You’d have to prove it’s a corrupt motive and you’d have to prove that the intention is to hinder, delay, prevent or influence the testimony,” Lubet said. "And transferring the money doesn’t establish any of those requirements, so there’d have to be some additional proof that those things have happened.”

Netflix to rely on Microsoft for its ad-backed video service
SAN FRANCISCO — (AP) — Netflix has picked Microsoft to help deliver the commercials in a cheaper version of its video streaming service expected to launch later this year with a pledge to minimize the intrusions into personal privacy that often accompany digital ads.
The alliance announced Wednesday marks a major step toward Netflix's first foray into advertising after steadfastly refusing to include commercials in its video streaming service since its inception 15 years ago. Netflix announced it would abandon its resistance to ads three months ago after disclosing it had lost 200,000 subscribers during the first three months of the year amid stiffer competition and rising inflation that has pressured household budgets, causing management to realize the time had come for a less expensive option.
Netflix has warned it will likely report even larger subscriber losses for the April-June period, increasing the urgency to roll out a cheaper version of its service backed by ads to help reverse customer erosion. That decline has contributed to a 70% decline in its stock price so far this year, wiped out in about $190 billion in shareholder wealth and triggered hundreds of layoffs.
The Los Gatos, California, company is scheduled to release its April-June numbers on July 19, but still hasn't specified when its ad-supported option will be available except it will roll out before 2023. Netflix's announcement about the Microsoft partnership also omitted a crucial piece of information: the anticipated price of the ad-supported option.
“It’s very early days and we have much to work through," Greg Peters, Netflix's chief operating officer, said in a post that also highlighted Microsoft's “strong privacy protections."
Landing the ad deal with a video streaming service that boasts more than 220 million subscribers represents a major coup for Microsoft, which has been engaged in a long-running and often acrimonious battle for the past 20 years with Google, the dominant force in digital advertising.
“This deal gives Microsoft something its growing ad business has lacked — quality streaming video inventory that has potential to scale" said Insider Intelligence analyst Ross Benes.
Mikhail Parakhin, Microsoft's president of web experiences, said the Redmond, Washington, company is "thrilled" with Netflix's choice in a post that also underscored the company's commitment to privacy.
While Microsoft still makes software that powers most of the world's personal computers, Google has become increasingly powerful through its dominant search engine, ubiquitous Android software for smartphones and other popular digital services that last year generated more than $200 billion in ad revenue — far more than any other marketing network.
But Google ad sales depend heavily on the personal information that its mostly free services collect about their billions of worldwide users, a form of surveillance that Netflix evidently wants to avoid with the commercial interruptions in its video service to lessen the chances of alienating subscribers. Google also owns YouTube's video site, which already competes against Netflix for people's attention and will soon be an advertising rival, too.
Microsoft also may have had another factor working in its favor. Netflix Inc.'s co-founder and co-CEO, Reed Hastings, served on Microsoft Corp.'s board of directors from 2007 to 2012.

Locker Room Roundtable: How long will Kauffman Stadium be home for the Kansas City Royals?
Published: Jul. 15, 2022 at 7:46 PM CDT|Updated: 15 hours ago
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - One of the biggest stories this season for the Kansas City Royals doesn’t involve the present or the team’s on the field performance.
The KCTV5 Sports Team debates and discusses the future of the Royals at Kauffman Stadium --- and why it may not be a matter of “if,” but “when.”

We are what we do. It is a doubtless fact that our actions and habits define us. Let’s just take a moment to realize this – whatever we are right now, whatever, it is our habits that have made us what we are. Now, while you judge yourself, we’ll move on to meet one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world, Vince Pitstick, to see what is the secret behind his success.
“Commitment,” says Vince when asked about the habits we would attribute to his success. Commitment with himself, commitment to his dreams, goals, and mission, and ‘commitment to something greater than himself’ is what has worked for Vince to get to the top. His achievements are proof, or else, how could a poor, addict-teen, battling OCD, stuck in a family stricken with domestic violence rise up to the pinnacle of success?
Apart from that, Vince says that he hustles hard because his reasons are bigger. And we know what they are.
Vince has a dream to see the national health system upgraded to accommodate a range of services that can enhance service delivery and effectiveness of the treatment. He is pointing towards health coaching, which, according to Vince, can be a legitimate answer in the wake of the growing number of lifestyle diseases. And he probably has proven his point through the services that he renders.
Being a functional nutritionist and health and fitness coach, Vince offers a variety of programs. According to clients/patients, the fitness programs by Vince have changed their lives and made them realize their potential to the fullest. Therefore, his arguments seem to carry some weight when he says there is a need to integrate health coaching into our health system.
Further, Vince is a ‘disciple of his craft’, meaning that he constantly keeps improving by practice to make his programs more effective for clients and education more reliable for those who need it the most. He is a hard worker and never hesitates to sacrifice for things he wants to achieve in his life. He says that he’s always willing to put more effort when others just give up in between. Giving up is a trait he despises a lot.
And finally, last but not least, Vince strongly believes in self-care. On a typical day in his life, his top priority is not chasing his goals but health, which he considers his number one asset. And in order to do that, Vince practices meditation, exercise, diet, mindset, and prayer. That’s how he starts and ends his day.
Honestly speaking, when we read about successful entrepreneurs in the world, we find that there is no deep philosophy hidden behind their success. It is habits that have put them at the summit of fame. So, now that you know what works for Vince and other entrepreneurs, stop judging yourself and start changing the habits holding you back!

TIMERGARA: Employees of the erstwhile state of Dir on Friday alleged that the Lower Dir district administration was intentionally trying to usurp their lands in the name of state lands but they would never allow it to encroach upon lands which the court had already decided in their favour.
Speaking at a news conference at Timergara Press Club, president of the erstwhile state of Dir employees Malik Abdul Star and general secretary Dr Sarbuland Khan said they called on Deputy Commissioner of Lower Dir Capt (r) Muhammad Zubair Khan Niazi but he was unable to differentiate between state land and the land of ex-state employees.
They threatened that if the district administration did not stop teasing the ex-state employees, they would be forced to come on roads along with their families against the district administration.

“It’s a good thing to root for these young girls from Brazil,” said Fernanda Garay on social media – and volleyball fans across the country. In the midst of a renovation, the young Brazilian team led by coach José Roberto Guimarães beat Serbia by 3 sets to 1, this Saturday morning, and is in the final of the League of Nations held in Ankara, Turkey. The partials were on 14/25, 25/18, 26/24 and 25/19.

But, on the wings of Kisy (19 points) and Julia Bergmann (16), and under the leadership of Gabi (15), the team managed to come back in the next three sets. The opponents in the decision come out of the confrontation between Italy and Turkey, which will play this Saturday. The duel for the title takes place this Sunday, at 12:30, with Sportv 2 transmission.

The Crab Mentality of Anti-Capitalism
July 16, 2022 | Tags: FEE
If you put a crab inside a bucket, it will crawl out. However, if you put multiple crabs in a bucket, they will all stay inside the bucket. If any crab decides to attempt to leave the bucket, they will be pulled back in by their crab comrades.
It is believed that the reasoning of the crabs not letting any others escape the bucket can be best described as “if I can’t have it, neither can you.” Even if this results in them being turned into crab soup, the crabs will remain in the bucket. It's where we could the term "crab mentality."
Like crabs, anti-capitalists desire to keep society inside the bucket, even if that leads to disastrous ends. This can be seen through large scale socialist projects, such as that of the Soviet Union or Maoist China which were hell-bent on punishing the rich, even if that meant the poor had to suffer along with them. In addition, personal accomplishment and profit are punished under socialist regimes as it goes against collectivism and worker solidarity. It doesn’t matter if their five-year plans lead to food shortages and economic inefficiency. As long as everyone is inside the bucket, the crabs can all suffer together.
This mentality can also be seen through modern day anti-capitalists on a personal scale. Capitalism enables those who are skilful and hardworking to rise, leaving it up to the individual to decide their own fate.
As Ludwig von Mises states in The Anti-Capitalist Mentality:
“The sway of the principle, to each according to his accomplishments, does not allow of any excuse for personal shortcomings. Everybody knows very well that there are people like him who succeeded where he himself failed. Everybody knows that many from whom he envies are self-made men who started. And, much worse, he knows that all other people know it too. He reads in the eyes of his wife and children the silent reproach: “Why have you not been smarter?” He sees how people admire those who have been more successful than he and look with contempt or pity on his failure.
This individualism leads to personal responsibility, and those who are unable to accept personal responsibility try to blame others for their personal failures. Perhaps the crab is worried that he’d be unable to leave the bucket even if he tried. Perhaps he’s resentful that the other crab thought to leave the bucket before him. He projects his insecurities and grows jealous of anyone who does well. Instead of personal reflection on how to achieve his goals, the anti-capitalist pulls everyone else down. He does this by assuming anyone successful has achieved it through wickedness and trickery. He frames making a profit as selfishness. He advocates for policies to drag the successful down for the sake of equality.
This can be seen most notably through the income tax, which takes money away from productive members of society and uses it to fund the welfare state. This punishes successful people in order to provide services and funds for people who did not earn the wealth themselves.
Why should somebody who works hard to lift themselves outside of the bucket be pushed back down because others are unable to do the same? Anti-capitalists spend their time searching for excuses that these people aren’t deserving of their income, whether that be landlords, bankers, or business owners. They love to smear those who contribute to society more than them.
Through the crab mentality, anti-capitalists are keen to use the state to drag the successful down by advocating for encroaching legislation that punishes them. They sneer at those who want to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and they promote dependence on the welfare state.
The problem is, by removing the incentive to work hard, they handicap productivity and innovation, and the whole country suffers as a result.
Unfortunately, there’s no happy ending for the crabs who stay in the bucket. | https://freedombunker.com/2022/07/16/the-crab-mentality-of-anti-capitalism/ | 2022-07-16T16:53:49Z | https://freedombunker.com/2022/07/16/the-crab-mentality-of-anti-capitalism/ | true | 1 |

Before he came into office, the former government used the scheme to pay almost all the pensioners. But when he came in, due to the debt in the state, he couldn’t continue it.
He also said that the federal government is owing Delta state billions of naira and they were expecting the FG to pay up so that they can be able to pay their pensioners, but FG is yet to pay up the money they’re owing the state Gov Ifeanyi Okowa said.

One of Green Country's premier summer shopping events is back and happening this weekend.
The event comes to Tulsa twice a year and you can find everything from candles to food and more.
“We've got jewelry, home decor, some great handmade items, furniture, repurposed items, upcycled items, personalized, gourmet food, candles, anything you can think of you can find."
Kristin Ware is the show promoter for Braum’s "An Affair of the Heart." She says this year's event has more than 250 vendors under one roof.
One is Gail Kruse, owner of With Love, Grace + Olivia, her granddaughter's middle name. She sells handmade tote bags.
"I've always sewn since I was young, and you go through spurts where you want to sew a lot. But during COVID, I invested in an embroidery machine and that was new for me. So that's been fun doing the embroidery designs and personalizing things for people and that type of thing,” Kruse said.
This is the largest and longest-running event of its kind in the state.
Ware says half of the vendors are from Oklahoma and a half travel from around the country.
"So even if it’s a small business from Chicago, or Florida or California, it's a great way to still support those family-run businesses from across the country,” Ware said.
The event goes until 6 p.m. Friday and continues through Sunday. | https://www.newson6.com/story/62d188e83d50f7092b1e1b02/watch:-an-affair-of-the-heart-kicks-off-in-tulsa- | 2022-07-16T17:01:27Z | https://www.newson6.com/story/62d188e83d50f7092b1e1b02/watch:-an-affair-of-the-heart-kicks-off-in-tulsa- | true | 1 |

Legal Historian: The anti-abortion movement isn’t done dragging America to a darker place

If it seems like Republican politicians are out of step, even with their own base, on abortion, it’s because they are. While most Republicans support including exceptions for rape and incest in abortion bans, an increasing number of GOP politicians oppose it. “This is a scenario often where Republican politicians are worried about primary challengers rather than general elections,” says Mary Ziegler, a professor at UC Davis Law School and legal historian, who has written several books on abortion and the Constitution. “They’re worried about donors rather than voters.” But Overturning Roe is only the beginning for the anti-abortion movement. Mike Pence has already called for a national abortion ban and states are already beginning to push through “fetal personhood” bills. And for some, Ziegler tells Sam Stein, “In an ideal world, children would have to carry pregnancies to term.”July 16, 2022

Natus Vincere has become the first finalist of the $1 million IEM Cologne following a clean sweep over Astralis today at the LANXESS Arena.
The Ukrainian-Russian CS:GO powerhouse started the series with a great CT side on Nuke, in which they repeatedly shut down Astralis’ offensive playbook and won 11 of the 15 rounds. NAVI didn’t let the game slip from their hands at any point and swiftly closed the map 16-8. The team’s star Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev hard carried and finished with 26 kills and just 10 deaths.
Mirage, on the other hand, was a completely different match. Astralis went on to win 11 consecutive rounds in the first half after they conceded the first and second round and should have won the map thanks to their 12-3 advantage. But NAVI displayed a great defense in the second half, just like Astralis did, and took the game to overtime.
The Ukrainian-Russian lineup completed the comeback in the extra rounds and defeated Astralis 19-17 to move to the grand finals. This time, it was Valeriy “b1t” Vakhovskiy who led the charges for NAVI. The skilled youngster got 37 frags in total and 120 ADR on Mirage.
This defeat ended Astralis’ first half of the CS:GO season as IEM Cologne is the last tournament before the start of the summer player break. The all-Danish team struggled earlier this year but showed in Cologne that they’re on the right track to at least fight for titles.
NAVI will now wait for the result between FaZe Clan vs. Movistar Riders to know who they’ll face tomorrow in the best-of-five grand finals of IEM Cologne. | https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/s1mple-and-b1t-help-navi-knock-astralis-out-of-iem-cologne-2022 | 2022-07-16T17:18:39Z | https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/s1mple-and-b1t-help-navi-knock-astralis-out-of-iem-cologne-2022 | false | 1 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Two news outlets’ decision to release an excruciating 77-minute video this week showing police inaction during the Robb Elementary School mass shooting drew a harsh response from residents of Uvalde, Texas, even though they have sought this type of transparency for weeks.
Families of the 19 children and two teachers killed by an 18-year-old gunman on May 24 said the Austin American-Statesman and KVUE-TV displayed insensitivity by releasing the video to the public before those directly affected had a chance to see it.
The surveillance video footage published Tuesday — which was then shown and written about by other news organizations — captures the gunman entering the school, and includes audio of shots fired from inside a classroom. It shows police quickly entering the school and then milling about in a hallway for more than an hour before they eventually kill the gunman.
The community’s response reflects the raw feelings directed toward reporters who came to Uvalde to probe what happened, and the reality that journalism often steps on toes.
The Texas House of Representatives committee investigating the police response to the shooting had planned to show the footage this Sunday to family members and then release it to the public. The committee is still holding a closed-door session with residents that day to discuss the conclusion of its probe.
“We get blindsided by a leak,” said Angel Garza, whose 10-year-old daughter, Amerie Jo, was killed at Robb, according to CNN, which covered the appearance of some family members this week at an event in Washington. “Who do you think you are to release footage like that of our children who can’t even speak for themselves, but you want to go ahead and air their final moments to the entire world? What makes you think that’s OK?”
Kimberly Rubio said at the Washington event that she understood the need to hold officials accountable, but that she didn’t want to hear the sound of gunfire from that day. Her daughter, Lexi, 10, was killed.
Although he doesn’t agree with how the investigation has been handled, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin called the media release of the video unprofessional.
“There was no reason for the families to have to see that,” McLaughlin said. “They needed to see the video but they didn’t need to see the gunman come in or hear the gunshots.”
The news outlets have said they reached out to family members before the video was released, although it was not clear how many they reached or what the response was. The American-Statesman referred a reporter to a column written by Manny Garcia, the paper’s executive editor, which didn’t address the subject. KVUE’s news director, Christina Ginn, did not respond to calls seeking comment.
On social media, Ginn retweeted a comment from another journalist that police could have shared the video with families already themselves. Journalists had been seeking its release for weeks, given that the police response is the central focus of the investigation.
Before releasing the video, the outlets edited out the sound of screaming. The image of a boy in the hallway who spotted the gunman and quickly darted away to safety, was blurred out to protect his privacy.
During its first airing of the video, KVUE said that Tony Plohetski, a reporter who works for both the newspaper and television station, had first seen the video two weeks earlier.
They considered holding back until the video was officially released. “The problem with that is the authorities constantly, from day one, have failed the people of Uvalde,” Plohetski told CNN. He declined further comment to The Associated Press.
“The truth always wins,” Garcia wrote in his message to American-Statesman readers, “maybe not on our clock, but the truth always prevails.”
The news outlets could have waited until next week, but they wouldn’t have been acting in the best interests of the public, said Kelly McBride, an expert on journalism ethics at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. In this case, the video had clear and strong news value, she said.
It’s often hard to make a journalistic decision for the public at large without upsetting a small group of people.
While family members are important stakeholders in the story, “we are talking about a much broader interest group, and that is the public that believes police officers will act in their best interests. You can clearly see that’s not happening,” she said.

The New Zealand Police has been charged with alleged breaches of health and safety laws after the death of a senior gang member in custody, in the first prosecution of its kind.
Taranaki Fuimaono, known as Ardie, had been taken by his family to Auckland City Hospital on the evening of Friday, June 11, last year, complaining of severe abdominal pain and in an agitated state.
He was placed into an induced coma overnight and medical staff who treated him found a bag of methamphetamine in his underwear.
The following day, Fuimaono was discharged from hospital and arrested before being taken into custody around 6pm.
Six hours later, the 43-year-old was found unresponsive in a cell at the Auckland police custody unit.
Efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful and he died in hospital a short time later.
His death was investigated by the police, the government health and safety regulator WorkSafe New Zealand, the Independent Police Conduct Authority and the Coroner.
The IPCA and coronial inquiries have yet to be completed.
But the Herald on Sunday can reveal that WorkSafe laid charges against the New Zealand Police last month for alleged breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
The prosecution is against the New Zealand Police as an organisation - not the individual officers involved - as the police are considered a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) under the legislation.
The charges allege the police failed in their primary duty of care to ensure the health and safety of others, and in doing so exposed an individual to risk of death or serious injury or illness.
If convicted, the maximum penalty is a fine of $1.5 million.
A spokesperson for WorkSafe confirmed details of the charges laid in June but declined to comment further as the matter was before the court.
For the same reason, a spokesperson for Police National Headquarters declined to comment other than to confirm the organisation would defend the charges and had pleaded not guilty in the Auckland District Court this month.
At the time of his death, Taranaki Fuimaono was a senior member of the Head Hunters motorcycle gang and about to stand trial on serious methamphetamine charges.
His funeral in Grey Lynn's St Joseph's Catholic Church was attended by hundreds of family members and friends, including mourners from rival gangs in a sign of the respect in which he was held.
The funeral procession of a large cavalcade of motorcycles riding across Auckland was overshadowed by the behaviour of a few, with 16 gang members being charged with driving while disqualified and "sustained loss of traction" - or doing burnouts.

Advertise with NZME.However, the family of Taranaki Fuimaono say he was more than just a member of the Head Hunters.
"He had a reputation within the club…but there was a softer side to him," one of his brothers told the Herald on Sunday.
"Ardie had just become a new dad to a little baby girl, he was looking forward to that. He had taken a different path in life but he was trying to get himself straight, doing rehab."
The brother said his family were pleased that the police are being held to account through the court process, "especially if it means another family doesn't have to go through this".
While the Worksafe prosecution over Fuimaono's death is the first of its kind, concerns have been raised for at least 10 years about the risks to those in police custody who are intoxicated.
All prisoners are supposed to be checked at the start and end of each shift, and at least every two hours during the shift.
People assessed as in "need of care" must be checked at least five times per hour at irregular intervals, while heavily intoxicated people in "need of care and constant monitoring" must be directly observed without interruption.
But while police officers are trained in first aid and custodial management, the level of care required of intoxicated people and those with mental health conditions often exceeds their expertise.
In 2012, the IPCA reviewed each of the 27 deaths in custody over the previous 10 years.
The number one issue identified was "the extent to which the detainees were affected by alcohol and drugs", followed by their mental health.
Nearly 50 per cent were affected by alcohol, and 33 per cent involved drugs.

Advertise with NZME.As well as being a risk factor in itself, the IPCA report found, intoxication can mask other risk factors.
Half of the suicides and 86 per cent of the deaths caused by medical condition involved a person affected by alcohol or drugs.
Another 14 people have died in custody since the 2012 report by the IPCA, according to police figures released under the Official Information Act.
Ten of those deaths involved drugs and alcohol.
One was Allen Ball. The 55-year-old died in the Hawera police station in May 2019 after drinking a large quantity of alcohol and taking painkillers.
Three police officers were charged with manslaughter for failing to provide medical assistance for two hours, but were acquitted after a trial in the High Court at New Plymouth last year.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.For several years, the Police Association had been raising concerns about staffing levels and training in the custody suites.
After Ball's death, the police commissioned a wide-ranging review called the Custodial Enhancement Programme, which identified the need for better supervision, training, equipment and facilities.
As of September last year, most of the recommendations had been implemented, including an upgrade to the computer systems used to assess the risk of those in custody.
In regards to Fuimaono's death, Police Association president Chris Cahill said the situation was somewhat different as the staff in the Auckland custody unit were not being prosecuted as individuals.
"We have worked closely with Police to ensure all our members are receiving the best possible advice but Police hold the responsibility to conduct the defence on behalf of their staff in this situation," said Cahill.
"The Police Association has long been concerned about the situation of custodial management. These concerns range from staffing levels, staff training, facilities and the issue of if certain persons should be detained in police custody at all.
"We will be very interested in how these concerns may be considered during this prosecution process." | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/worksafe-nz-prosecute-police-with-alleged-breaches-of-health-and-safety-law-following-death-of-head-hunter-gang-member-taranaki-fuimaono/QMMLRH3UOKP5S24KDQLCNCGIN4/?c_id=1&objectid=12538422&ref=rss | 2022-07-16T17:25:09Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/worksafe-nz-prosecute-police-with-alleged-breaches-of-health-and-safety-law-following-death-of-head-hunter-gang-member-taranaki-fuimaono/QMMLRH3UOKP5S24KDQLCNCGIN4/?c_id=1&objectid=12538422&ref=rss | true | 3 |
The Boys: Jeffrey Dean Morgan Appreciates Negan/Homelander Comparison
As most of you know, several threads connect The Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan to Amazon & Showrunner/EP Eric Kripke's The Boys. The obvious one starts with Kripke, who was also the creator of the Jensen Ackles & Jared Padalecki-starring Supernatural, in which Morgan portrayed their father, John Winchester. And then there's Ackles, who portrayed Soldier Boy during the third season of the streaming series (who recently discussed "daddy issues" between Soldier Boy & Antony Starr's Homelander and Ackles' Dean Winchester & Morgan's John). And then there are the ongoing efforts for Morgan and Kripke to match their schedules long enough for Morgan to appear in some meaningful way (maybe Season 4?). But underlying all of this is that Morgan is a big fan of the show and has made everyone aware of how much via social media. So when The Walking Dead World tweeted a great comparison between how Morgan's Negan would feel going five minutes without a "dick joke" to Homelander attempting to calm down & keep from losing his collective s**t.
Here's a look at Morgan's tweet offering some deep appreciation for comparing "The Redeeming" with "The Irredeemable":.
Now here's a look at what attendees at this year's San Diego Comic-Con can expect from AMC's "The Walking Dead" universe as the franchise series holds its final panel:
"Tales of the Walking Dead" (Friday, July 22 at 12:30 PM PT, Hall H): The panel will introduce fans to this new episodic anthology consisting of six original one-hour standalone episodes focused on both new and established characters within the walker apocalypse. The stakes are high in each story, pushing new, indelible characters with relentless, life-threatening choices and situations as we get to see the apocalypse through different eyes, discovering more worlds, mythos, and mysteries of the "Walking Dead." Moderated by Chris Hardwick (Talking Dead), the panel will feature Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe, Scott M. Gimple, Showrunner & Executive Producer Channing Powell, Director & Executive Producer Michael Satrazemis, and cast members Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Samantha Morton (The Walking Dead, Harlots), and Danny Ramirez (Top Gun: Maverick) with additional cast pending.
"The Walking Dead" Season 11C (Friday, July 22 at 1:30 PM PT, Hall H): Hardwick moderates the final panel for the hit series ahead of its last eight episodes this fall. This must-watch panel will feature Gimple, Showrunner & Executive Producer Angela Kang, Executive Producer, Director & Special Effects Makeup Supervisor Greg Nicotero, and cast members Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Christian Serratos, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, Seth Gilliam, Josh McDermitt, Michael James Shaw, Cailey Fleming, and Lauren Ridloff as they answer fan questions, share behind-the-scenes stories about filming the final season, and reveal the highly anticipated trailer for season 11. In the upcoming final episodes of "The Walking Dead," threats lurk around every corner, dead and alive, as each group continues to get caught in uncontrollable situations. The looming pressure is cresting towards a day of reckoning for all. Will the sum of their individual journeys cumulate into one, or divide them forever?
"The Walking Dead" Fan Celebration: Located at the Hilton Gaslamp Hotel (4th Avenue and L Street, across from the Convention Center), "The Walking Dead" Fan Celebration is an in-world activation hosted by AMC Networks on Friday, July 22 at 7:30 pm PT, reuniting Comic-Con and TWD fans to relive some of the most iconic moments and characters from the past eleven seasons.

Suwasra (Madhya Pradesh): Leaders of Congress and BJP submitted separate memorandums to Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Pankaj Sharma on his visit to Suwasra for inspection. In the memorandum, they demanded the stoppage of certain trains at Suwasra railway station for easy movement of residents.
BJP minister Hardeep Singh Dang and former MLA Radheshyam Patidar submitted a memorandum saying that 2955 - 12956 Jaipur-Mumbai-Jaipur and 12465 - 12466 Jodhpur-Indore-Jodhpur used to stop at Suwasra before Covid period.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Mike Yastrzemski hit a game-ending grand slam off major league saves leader Josh Hader for San Francisco’s third homer of the ninth inning, and the Giants rallied from a three-run deficit to stun the Milwaukee Brewers 8-5 on Friday night.
Hader was tagged with his second straight loss, two nights after giving up a walk-off, three-run homer to Minnesota’s Jose Miranda in the ninth inning. The All-Star closer failed to retire a batter in that one.
“Right now it’s everything,” Hader said. “I feel like I’m trying to feel things that I don’t need to. I lost that aggressiveness that I normally have. I just have to chalk it up and move on.”
Hader (0-4) again had trouble keeping the ball in the park.
Joey Bart started the comeback in the ninth with a leadoff home run. After pinch-hitter Wilmer Flores flied out, Darin Ruf connected to make it 5-4.
Austin Slater followed with his fourth hit of the night and Hader hit Yermín Mercedes with a pitch before Thairo Estrada’s bloop single loaded the bases.
Yastrzemski then drilled the first pitch he saw from Hader to center field, with Estrada pumping his fists in celebration before the ball even cleared the fence.
“I was just ready for a fastball, ready to get something in the zone,” Yastrzemski said. “I just wanted to get it to the outfield and hoped that we could get one run in to tie the game. It was nice that it worked out that way.”
Brewers manager Craig Counsell noted that Hader’s best pitch can sometimes be his downfall.
“He’s lived with a great fastball; hitters know that a fastball’s coming,” Counsell said. “He’s not making a lot of pitches right now. He’s searching to make pitches. Location is obviously an issue, that’s number one. We’ve got to get to work and help him out.”
It’s the first time this season the hard-throwing lefty has allowed home runs in back-to-back appearances.
“The good thing about Josh is that he has the right mindset for that closer’s job and he understands that role so well,” Milwaukee starter Brandon Woodruff said. “It’s a hard game, stuff happens. I know he’s upset. He’ll be just fine.”
LaMonte Wade Jr. also homered for the Giants, who have won five of seven. Sam Long (1-2) got three outs for the win.
Andrew McCutchen continued his surge at the plate with a three-run double for the Brewers. McCutchen is batting .323 (43 for 133) with 22 RBIs in his last 34 games after a 1-for-40 slump.
Woodruff matched his career high of five walks and pitched with runners on base most of the game, but repeatedly worked out of trouble. He allowed two runs and five hits with four strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.
GOOD AND BAD GLOVE WORK
David Villar turned in a pair of defensive gems in the third inning to highlight his second consecutive start at third base for the Giants. Villar made a leaping grab of Jonathan Davis’ sharp liner, then followed with a barehanded grab and throw for the out on Willy Adames’ slow grounder. Villar was also charged with an error in the sixth when he cut in front of shortstop Brandon Crawford and dropped Kolten Wong’s popup.
IN THE WAY
Wong reached on an infield single leading off the third when Wade and Giants starter Alex Wood collided near first base line trying to make a play. Wood grabbed the ball with his glove and reached over a crouching Wade to attempt the tag, but couldn’t get close enough.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Brewers: Christian Yelich, who scored the winning run Thursday as a pinch-runner, was back in the starting lineup batting leadoff after missing three games with back tightness.
UP NEXT
Brewers LHP Eric Lauer (6-3, 3.83 ERA) is unbeaten in eight career games against San Francisco. The Giants counter with RHP Alex Cobb (3-4, 4.57), who is looking for his first win since May 17.

Fresh after making headlines for her "girlfriend stole my look" dresses worn by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, London-based Kiwi designer Emilia Wickstead is expanding her fashion empire.
During her trip to the UK this month, Ardern wore a Wickstead calf-length cream 50s-style "Alice Dress" during a meeting at Downing St with the now-resigned British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The $3000 dress, with its high collar and pocket detail, was almost identical to one worn by Kate Middleton during a royal tour of India and Bhutan in 2016.
The only discernible difference was Ardern's collar was 2022 pointed while the Duchess' 2016 version was round.
Renowned for dressing famous and powerful women, Wickstead has also dressed Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and in January this year Spy reported a strong move into A-List entertainment names, including popstars Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, and actors Diane Kruger, Olivia Colman and Emma Watson.

Advertise with NZME.Wickstead's flagship store moved into upper-crust Sloane St in 2014 after five years at another London location, after her designs were embraced by the cream of London society. Now she's on the move again, opening a new store a few doors down, allowing her to double the space and the range of offerings.
Wickstead described her new store as "handsome" to the Financial Times, leaving behind the old store's pastels and sherbets and replacing them with ivory silk walls, mahogany doors, rust-coloured carpet, polished chrome and checkerboard floors.
"Our brand before was quite pink and feminine, but I feel like this store is all-encompassing," Wickstead told the FT.
Wickstead's new store includes a bar upstairs, an accessories section and a VIP suite from which Wickstead will operate her other specialty - made-to-measure and bridal services, as well as creating bespoke fashion - that is becoming increasingly lucrative - for a small customer base.
Downstairs will feature a new homeware line of linens, glassware, china, cutlery, and an entertaining area, as well as vacation wear and sleepwear.
Homeware is a natural addition for the 39-year-old designer. Many of the fabrics from her last collection would look just as fabulous on a sofa or look chic as a tablecloth.
It's been 14 years since the daughter of 1980s and 90s Parnell designer Angela Wickstead launched her business from her home in Chelsea with £5,000 from her then-boyfriend, now husband, Brazilian banker Daniel Gargiulo. One of her breakthrough moments came in 2010 when pregnant Samantha Cameron wore a blue Wickstead dress on the night husband David was elected UK Prime Minister. It wasn't long before the Duchess of Cambridge began wearing Wickstead and the Kiwi designer has become one of the duchess' favourite designers, often recycling dresses and wearing the same design in three different colours.
Last week at the Royal Charity Polo Cup the Duchess looked sensational in a $2500 off-white, sleeveless Wickstead midi dress with black strip detail, a design previously worn by Ivanka Trump.

Outside the UK, the designer's e-commerce business is going off, with sales in the US currently outstripping those in the UK.
Wickstead hasn't forgotten her New Zealand roots though. In 2016 she was the international guest at iD Dunedin Fashion and more recently, in a nice touch, has collaborated with fellow Kiwi-born, London-based jewellery designer Jessica McCormack. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/spy-from-royalty-to-our-pm-emilia-wicksteads-fashion-empire-is-on-the-move/TWJMAJ7DEZXUGMRZT6Q6KTMVXM/ | 2022-07-16T17:46:23Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/spy-from-royalty-to-our-pm-emilia-wicksteads-fashion-empire-is-on-the-move/TWJMAJ7DEZXUGMRZT6Q6KTMVXM/ | false | 3 |
ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia prosecutor investigating potential criminal interference in the 2020 presidential election is considering requesting that former President Donald Trump testify under oath to a grand jury, while several Georgia Republicans already subpoenaed as part of the probe have received letters informing them that they’re at risk of being indicted.
The developments underscore the accelerating nature of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation and the key decisions that may lie ahead for prosecutors who for more than a year have been scrutinizing efforts by Trump and his allies to undo his election loss in Georgia.
Jeff DiSantis, a spokesman for Willis, told The Associated Press that Willis is considering subpoenaing Trump to testify before a special grand jury. Such a demand would almost certainly trigger an immediate court fight, including potentially over Trump’s constitutional protections against self-incrimination. Yahoo News had reported earlier Friday that Willis is considering requesting Trump’s testimony.
Meanwhile, some people who had been subpoenaed have subsequently received so-called target letters, according to a person familiar with the matter who insisted on anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Prosecutors generally issue such letters to inform people they’ve been investigating that they have developed evidence against them and that they’re in jeopardy of being criminally charged.
The person who confirmed the issuance of the target letters, which were first reported by Yahoo, would not identify any of the recipients.
Randy Evans, a Georgia attorney who was Trump’s ambassador to Luxembourg, said the letters went to prominent Georgia Republicans who were involved with submitting an alternate slate of electors who asserted that Trump had won the state.
Evans said he’s a Republican who actually supported Willis’ investigation in the beginning because he believes transparency is a good thing. But he was disappointed to see the suggestion that participating in an alternate slate of electors constitutes a criminal violation.
“Now it’s pretty clear that it’s largely just another act of politics in an election year,” he said.
Also Friday, state Sen. Burt Jones, who’s the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor in November’s general election, filed a motion to disqualify Willis and her office from the investigation. His lawyers argue that Willis has a conflict of interest because she is an active supporter of Jones’ Democratic opponent.
Jones’ campaign spokesman Stephen Lawson declined to comment when asked if Jones had received a target letter.
The special grand jury was seated in May at Willis’ request and has been investigating whether Trump and others illegally tried to meddle in the 2020 election in Georgia as the Republican desperately tried to cling to power after his loss to Democrat Joe Biden. Trump continues to insist that the election was stolen, despite the fact that numerous federal and local officials, a long list of courts, top former campaign staffers and even his own attorney general have all said there is no evidence of the fraud he alleges.
Willis has confirmed that the investigation’s scope includes a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. During that call, Trump urged Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to overturn his loss in the state.
“All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have,” Trump said during that call. “Because we won the state.”
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has repeatedly described his call to Raffensperger as “perfect.”
Willis, a Democrat, has also said that her team is looking into a November 2020 call that U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., made to Raffensperger and false claims of election fraud that were made by former New York mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and others during December 2020 legislative committee hearings at the state Capitol.
Graham and Giuliani are among the Trump associates Willis is trying to force to go to Atlanta to testify before the special grand jury.
Willis has also indicated that she’s interested in the actions of the group of 16 Georgia Republicans who signed a certificate falsely stating that Trump had won the state when it was actually Democrat Joe Biden who got the most votes. They cast their fake electoral votes behind closed doors at the Georgia Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020, the same day that the actual Democratic electors met to cast their votes.
Jones was among those who signed the certificate, which was then sent to Congress and the National Archives.
The motion filed Friday by his lawyers says Willis donated to the campaign of Democratic lieutenant governor nominee Charlie Bailey and last month hosted a fundraiser for him. It says the entire Fulton County district attorney’s office should be disqualified “from the investigation and prosecution of Mr. Jones,” the motion says.
The special grand jury cannot issue indictments. Instead, it is to issue a report with its findings and recommendations, and it will then be up to Willis to decide whether to seek an indictment from a regular grand jury.
The motion notes that the special grand jury report “is likely to come out right before the election.” If the judge will not disqualify Willis and the district attorney’s office, the motion asks that the judge order that the special grand jury report be sealed until after the election “to prevent any improper and undue influence therein.”
“Burt is more than happy to perform his civic duty and answer questions — but not from a prosecutor with such blatant conflicts of interest,” Lawson, the campaign spokesman, said in a statement.
DiSantis, the Willis spokesman, said the motion is without merit.
Willis’ “support for Mr. Bailey has nothing to do with his opponent, nor does her fulfillment of her oath of office to investigate and prosecute crimes occurring in Fulton County have anything to do with anyone else’s campaign for elected office,” DiSantis said in an email.

Germany says it has no good alternatives to Russian energy — but not everyone is convinced
Germany's domestic politics, anti-nuclear sentiment and NIMBYism are costing Ukraine
"We're now on alert stage two," said German Ambassador to Canada Sabine Sparwasser. "People are asked to change heating systems, people are asked to cut down on their consumption. And our energy ministry even said you can cut down on the shower time."
Last month, Russia reduced the flow of gas through the Nord Stream One pipeline by 60 per cent. Right now, the flow is shut off completely for a maintenance period that ostensibly ends on July 21.
A week ago, the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that it would be returning a set of turbines used in the pipeline — which were in Canada for repairs — back to Germany, despite the fact that they fall under sanctions imposed on Russia in response to its brutal war on Ukraine.
In theory, once the Russians get their turbines back, they'll restore normal gas flow, allowing Germany and other European countries to fill their storage tanks for winter.
But German officials admit that's far from certain.
"In many experts' opinions, it's a pretext," said Sparwasser. "It's very hard to say what to expect."
If normal flow doesn't resume, Germany will have to ration.
"To impose a stage three of a gas emergency would mean that the government would have to take measures and make choices," said Sparwasser. "Governments would want it to go to private households first. But at the same time, industry is also sort of the backbone of German prosperity and you don't want industry to suffer significantly.
"So there are a lot of difficult choices and we hope it doesn't come to that."
A 'grievous mistake'
German leaders have admitted that the bind Germany finds itself in is largely self-inflicted. The choice to make the country dependent on Russian energy was a "grievous mistake," said Germany's Economy Minister Robert Habeck.
Despite repeated warnings from allies, German politicians forged ahead with their Russian business partners, loading the gun the Kremlin now holds to Germany's head.
The ruling Social Democrats met this week to consider expelling former chancellor Gerhard Schroeder for his role in hooking Germany up to Russia, which won him lucrative seats on the boards of Russian energy companies.
But German politicians also have insisted those mistakes are in the past, and that today the country is doing all it can to free itself from its Russian cage.
"We are building out renewable energy at extraordinary speed," said Sparwasser. "And Germany is importing LNG (liquid natural gas) as much as we can.
"We are building, and again at extraordinary speed, we will have two LNG ports. We didn't have any of them at the beginning of this year and we will have two swimming LNG ports on the German coast by the end of the year, hopefully."
Sparwasser said Germany has asked countries such as the U.S., Norway and Qatar to increase energy deliveries.
But not everyone is convinced that Germany has really pulled out all the stops to break its dependence on Russia.
The counter-offer, rejected
"There are alternatives for Germany to be able to get gas," said Paul Grod of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.
"The gas that they need is very easily accessible through the Ukrainian pipeline, which for some unknown reason they refused to utilize. Instead, they are falling prey to Russia's blackmail."
Ukrainian officials did not merely oppose Canada's decision to waive the sanctions on the Nord Stream turbines. They also offered Canada and Germany an alternative — the Sudzha pipeline that enters Ukraine's northern Sumy region from Russia and runs to the Czech border.
Despite heavy fighting around Sumy, that pipeline continues to carry Russian gas. Gazprom, the Russian majority state-owned multinational energy corporation, has booked and paid for transmission of 109 million cubic meters per day on the pipeline but is currently using less than half of that capacity.
The Ukrainians say Sudzha has an unused capacity of 202 million cubic meters per day, or more than the entire Nord Stream One pipeline, and they've offered to put it at Germany's disposal. But both Canada and Germany have rejected the offer.
"Unfortunately, the answers that we received from both the Canadian government and the German government are not sufficient or not satisfactory to be able to understand why they're not using that very realistic and reliable alternative," said Grod.
Either way, the fuel is coming from Russia
Sparwasser said that the International Energy Agency has told Germany that Sudzha doesn't have the capacity. (The IEA's advice on the matter has not been made public.) She also said Germany doesn't see the point of the Ukrainian proposal.
"I would like to point out that whether we receive it through Nord Stream One or whether we receive it through Ukrainian pipelines, we're buying gas from Russia," she said.
"Why would it make more sense to start on a new contract with Russia buying from them through this other pipeline when we have Nord Stream One?"
Ukrainians see a number of reasons. First, using Sudzha would not require Canada to set the noxious precedent of waiving sanctions.
WATCH: Trudeau under fire over decision to return turbines to Germany
The Ukrainians also argue that if European countries receive their gas through the Sudzha pipeline, Russia would be less likely to close it down.
"Russia is trying to wean the rest of Europe off of the Ukrainian pipeline so that they can continue to wage economic war against Ukraine," said Grod. "If gas is flowing through Ukraine to supply Germany, then that means that gas has to flow through Ukraine. That means Ukraine has the gas that it needs this winter.
"This winter, when Russia decides to turn the gas off and there's no other European countries that are reliant on that, Russia will have its way with Ukraine. And that's why it's really important for Ukraine's energy security for Germany to be buying gas through Ukraine's pipeline."
A hard pill to swallow
Adding bitterness to the dispute are questions about German claims that they are really doing all they can to reduce their dependence on Russia.
One pill that Ukraine's supporters find particularly hard to swallow is the fact that — as they plead energy poverty to Canada — German politicians are voluntarily taking more than 13 per cent of their country's electrical generating capacity offline.
The ruling Greens and Social Democrats pledged to shut down Germany's nuclear grid following the Fukushima disaster in 2011. Three plants were mothballed on December 31, 2021. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the German government said it would revisit the decision — but then voted last week to keep those plants closed and to shutter the three remaining nuclear plants on December 31, just as the cold weather begins in earnest.
Sparwasser acknowledged this has been tough to explain. "Everybody says, 'Well, you still have three nuclear plants and they're supposed to be phased out by the end of the year. Why don't you keep them on?" she said.
It's not so easy, she added.
"Continuing the life of a nuclear plant is not trivial," Sparwasser said. Obtaining fuel is an issue and "we have not done any kind of security measures and testing in those nuclear plants because they were supposed to be phased out," she added.
"So to do these tests and to do all of that is extraordinarily costly and will take time."
Turning gas into watts
Canada's Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson came to Germany's defence on the nuclear issue, first saying it was an internal matter for Germany, and then saying nuclear power would have no bearing on the natural gas situation.
"From a technical perspective, nuclear energy generates electricity," Wilkinson told CBC's Power and Politics. "Natural gas is actually used in industrial process applications and for home heating. They are not equivalent and to somehow suggest that starting a nuclear reactor solves your gas problem is just factually wrong."
WATCH: Return of turbines 'not a gamble,' says Wilkinson
But it was Wilkinson himself who was incorrect. In fact, Germany burns large amounts of natural gas to produce electricity — over 50 terawatt/hours of it last year, more than Ontario produced from either nuclear or hydro.
That's why German energy-saving measures meant to conserve gas include dimming streetlights, which run on electricity.
Keeping the nuclear plants running has the potential to displace the need for Russian gas. So why close them?
A matter of will
Mark Hibbs is a Berlin-based senior fellow with the Carnegie Endowment who has watched German energy policy for many years.
"The Greens have a fundamental issue of identity politics having to do with their opposition to nuclear power. They carry that into the governments that they joined as coalition partners," said Hibbs.
"Unlike in some other jurisdictions worldwide, the Germans have always had parties in or close to power that were fundamentally opposed to nuclear power generation."
Hibbs said the German nuclear industry has reasons of its own to collaborate in its undoing.
"Important utility companies in Germany that generate nuclear power also generate electricity with lignite and coal," he said. "So on the popular front, these companies were not prepared to aggressively defend the advantages in fighting carbon emissions from nuclear because they themselves were generating electricity using fossil fuels.
"They were well compensated for the loss of their assets and they were given enough time, ten years or more, to prepare for a future in which they would be generating power that was not based on nuclear energy. So they have, in fact, adjusted their business plans and investments accordingly during the last ten years."
It all comes down to a question of "political will," said Hibbs.
"The reasons that have been brought forth to suggest that this would not be possible — for example, insufficient uranium, fuel or nuclear safety issues having to do with extending the lifetime of the reactor for a small number of years — are basically a sideshow," he said. "If the industry and the political elites of the country decided between now and the beginning of the fourth quarter to continue operating these reactors, they could do it."
Nuclear energy alone would not solve Germany's Russian gas problem in the short term, but the spectacle of Germany giving itself the luxury of closing perfectly viable power plants while sending billions of dollars to fuel Russia's war also puts strains on its relationships with allies.
NIMBYs clog the gears of change
Hibbs said that Germany's growth in renewables, once admirable, has recently "had difficulties with political acceptance. They've had difficulties in technical capacity, expertise, political support. And as a consequence, the expansion of renewables in Germany has slowed to a crawl."
Efforts to build new capacity and transmission lines have been bedevilled by Germany's decentralized federal structure and the fact that its political culture is "very, very sensitive to equity decision-making," said Hibbs.
"NIMBYism is clearly a problem here."
Some Ukrainians say there's also a question of backbone. Did Germany really have to blink first? Could it have stared down the Russians — who, after all, have to sell their gas to someone?
India and China may be able to absorb Russian oil, but gas is not so simple.
A background document prepared by Ukraine's Ministry of Energy explains Russia's difficulty: "Gazprom operates 73 bcm of storages in Russia and can place nearly 1.3 bcm of gas in storages in FSU (former Soviet allied) countries.
"Gazprom has very limited options to use more gas inside Russia or to convert it into LNG and ship elsewhere. Its export pipeline to China is not connected to the fields that supply Europe. Therefore, the gas cannot be redirected there …"
"… Gazprom will run out of storage space in August."
Once Russia has no more storage capacity, it will have to either resume deliveries or cap its wells, say the Ukrainians, who argue that Germany holds more cards than it thinks it does.
And they can point to a recent example of another country that stood up to pipeline blackmail.
Recently, after Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev publicly disagreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said his country would not recognize the breakaway republics of the Donbas, Russia's state oil company cut off a pipeline essential to Kazakhstan's economy, citing environmental problems.
But the Kazakh government didn't blink and instead began talks with western companies about going around Russia via Azerbaijan.
Russia reversed course this week, allowing the pipeline to reopen and slapping the Kazakhs with a face-saving fine of $3,250. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/turbines-canada-ukraine-germany-russia-1.6522643?cmp=rss | 2022-07-16T17:47:33Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/turbines-canada-ukraine-germany-russia-1.6522643?cmp=rss | false | 1 |
The Minnesota Wild signed first-round pick Liam Ohgren to a three-year, entry-level contract Saturday.
The 18-year-old Swedish forward was the 19th overall selection in this month’s draft.
He totaled 58 points (33 goals, 25 assists) in just 30 games for Djurgarden in the Swedish Junior League in 2021-22. He was named the league’s best forward after leading the circuit in goals, points and plus-minus rating (plus-41).
The 6-foot-1, 201-pound Ohgren captained the gold medal-winning squad at the 2022 IIHF Under-18 World Championship, scoring three goals and six assists in nine games. He scored the game-winning goal for Sweden in the final against the United States.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles’ winning streak ended at 10 as Christian Bethancourt hit his first home run for Tampa Bay and the Rays rallied for a 5-4 victory Friday night.
The winning streak was the Orioles’ longest in a single season since they won 13 straight in 1999.
Ramon Urías homered twice for the Orioles, the first multi-home run game of his career, and Trey Mancini also connected. But Baltimore also left the bases loaded without scoring in the first and fifth innings.
“We just a bad inning on the mound and we left too many runners on base early in the game,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said.
The Rays trailed 2-1 in the sixth when they got four straight extra-base hits with two outs.
Josh Lowe and Yu Chang doubled off Tyler Wells (7-5) to tie it. Francisco Mejia greeted Cionel Pérez with a go-ahead double.
Bethancourt then launched a pinch-hit home run off the left-field foul pole that was measured at 318 feet, the shortest over-the-fence home run at a major league venue since Houston’s Yuli Gurriel hit one 315 feet off Boston’s Pesky Pole on June 10, 2021.
“It was kind of a weird one down the line,” Hyde said.
Baltimore left fielder Anthony Santander almost caught the ball in the corner, and it took a replay challenge to overturn the original call of foul ball.
“I didn’t think it was good enough for a homer, and then I thought he might have knocked it out and I had a double or something,” said Bethancourt, who took a delayed trip around the bases.
“I was looking at the ball and looking at (Santander) and I just didn’t see it land in fair territory so I was a little confused when I saw everybody celebrating in our dugout. I was just standing there and I didn’t know what to do,” he said.
Bethancourt hit four homers for Oakland this season before being traded to the Rays last week.
Matt Wisler (3-3) got the win in relief and Brooks Raley pitched the ninth for his sixth save in seven chances. Wells lost for the first time in nine starts since May 25.
Mancini and Urías homered early off Rays starter Luis Patiño for a 2-0 lead.
Urías’ second homer of the game and ninth of the season came off Colin Poche with Austin Hays on base in the eighth.
Patiño was reinstated to the active roster Friday and pitched for the first time since April 11, when he faced three Oakland batters before leaving with a left oblique strain. He gave up two runs on four hits in 3 1/3 innings.
Wells gave up three runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out six.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Orioles: RHP Jordan Lyles said he felt good after throwing 101 pitches in Tuesday win at Chicago, and consequently will pitch Sunday’s series finale. Lyles has thrown 100 or more pitches in four straight starts.
Rays: 2B Brandon Lowe (lower back discomfort) and RHP Pete Fairbanks (right lat strain) rejoined the team after rehab assignments and might be activated this weekend. . . . C Mike Zunino (left shoulder inflammation) was moved to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man roster spot for Patiño. Zunino will try to resume baseball activity after the All-Star break.
UP NEXT
RHP Dean Kremer (3-1, 2.15) will make his eighth start of the season for the Orioles on Saturday against LHP Ryan Yarbrough (0-4, 5.82), who will be activated after spending three weeks on the injured list with left groin tightness.

LONDON — The search is on for a new leader of government in the United Kingdom, and the governing Conservative Party has been narrowing down the field of candidates.
After Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned as party leader earlier this month, hundreds of his fellow Conservatives in Parliament have been voting on a possible successor, who would also replace him as prime minister. This series of votes concludes next week.
Once only two contenders remain, grassroots members of the Conservative Party across the country will have the opportunity to vote. There is no general election. The winner of the party vote is set to be announced Sept. 5 and will become the U.K.'s new prime minister.
After several knock-out rounds this past week, here are the remaining five candidates for the Conservative leadership:
Rishi Sunak
Starting in 2020, Sunak served as chancellor of the Exchequer, Britain's second most senior political office, overseeing the treasury. His decision to resign from that role earlier this month prompted a cascade of subsequent resignations from government, which eventually forced Johnson to announce he would step down as leader of the Conservative Party. A former investment banker, he was first elected as a lawmaker in 2015. His popularity with the British public as a top Cabinet member soared during the coronavirus pandemic, as his treasury department announced a series of policies that provided many citizens with financial support. He soon became a favorite to replace Johnson, but a controversy over his wealthy wife's tax affairs and a criminal fine for breaching lockdown rules dented his reputation as a competent operator.
Liz Truss
Statistically, Truss has spent more time as a member of the British Cabinet than any of her opponents in this leadership race. She has held a series of high-profile posts that have culminated in her current role as foreign minister — only the second woman to have the job in history. She grew up in England and Scotland, and studied at Oxford University, majoring in the most traditional of subjects for Britain's political elite: politics, philosophy and economics. Prior to her career in Parliament, she worked as an accountant, and was elected to her constituency several hours northeast of London back in 2010. She initially opposed Brexit, but has in recent years taken an increasingly hard-line approach to British relations with the European Union, and has regularly threatened to breach the current trade agreement between the U.K. and the EU. She is considered by many colleagues to be a Johnson loyalist, and has promised to cut taxes if she is selected as the next prime minister.
Penny Mordaunt
A surprise success in this leadership contest so far, Mordaunt finished second to Sunak in the recent round of voting by Conservative lawmakers, though polls well among grassroots members of the Conservative Party that will likely decide their next party leader over the course of the summer. She has participated in a reality TV show, and held various roles in government over the course of the past decade, including the defense and Brexit portfolios. She is currently one of several ministers responsible for trade policy, and was among the Conservative Party's most ardent campaigners in favor of Brexit prior to the 2016 referendum on Britain's EU membership. She once oversaw the party's youth wing, and during her recent campaigning, she has advocated for lower taxes, a smaller state and greater personal responsibility.
Kemi Badenoch
One of the least experienced of the candidates, Badenoch is currently fourth favorite after two rounds of votes by her fellow party legislators. She has focused her platform on reducing the role of the state in people's lives but has promised not to participate in what she calls a "bidding war" with the other candidates to reduce taxes. The former equalities minister, she is considered to be one of the more culturally conservative participants in this leadership contest. She was born in London to parents originally from Nigeria, but spent her childhood back in Nigeria as well as the United States, before returning to Britain for her final two years of high school, at which point she worked at McDonald's alongside studying.
Tom Tugendhat
A military veteran without previous experience as a government minister, Tugendhat has advocated increased defense spending and is currently the chair of the British Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee. He has developed a profile as a frequent critic of Johnson and his government's policies, and in particular over what he has described as Britain's disastrous military withdrawal from Afghanistan last year. He has studied Arabic in Yemen, worked in Lebanon and attended Cambridge University as a graduate student focused on Islam. Both his mother and wife are French, so he holds dual British and French nationality, and speaks a smattering of other languages with various degrees of proficiency. He was instrumental in the campaign to persuade the British government to ban Huawei, the Chinese company from having any involvement in the country's 5G mobile networks, and was sanctioned by China.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Jessica Treviño’s 11-year-old daughter was attending Robb Elementary School on May 24, when a gunman fatally shot 19 children and two teachers. She was not physically hurt. But in the nearly two months since, she has suffered from anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder — conditions that have required up to $1,500 a week in physical and emotional care.
The Treviños currently qualify for some of the millions of dollars that have been raised to help shooting victims and survivors — but they haven’t seen any of it yet. Such funds normally take months to administer and distribute. That reality has not been conveyed effectively, however, to families in dire need of help now.
During a packed city council meeting in Uvalde on Tuesday, multiple people shouted out questions from their seats about why financial relief seemed to be taking so long. City leaders have offered little clarity — and seemed to be just as confused.
“These families cannot begin to heal unless they are given time to grieve free from financial worry,” Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin and state Sen. Roland Gutierrez stated in a letter sent last week to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The mayor and lawmaker said they had both received “numerous troubling reports” of people receiving insufficient financial resources aside from a two weeks’ bereavement benefit. They cited one family that was struggling to keep the lights on while a child was hospitalized.
At least $14 million has been raised in private and corporate donations for families affected by the shooting. All have been combined in the Uvalde Together We Rise fund, which will be administered by a local steering committee with guidance from national experts.
But creating a plan to ensure that the funds are distributed equitably and transparently takes time — usually months, noted Jeffery Dion, executive director of the National Compassion Fund. The nonprofit organization has helped distribute more than $105 million in donations for people affected by 23 other mass casualty incidents since 2014. Among them: mass shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in 2016; at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018; and at a Walmart in El Paso in 2019. In each of these cases, donations took multiple months to get to victims.
“It’s a gift, so there is no right or wrong answer, but the most important thing is that it is the local answer,” Dion said, adding that each local steering committee ultimately has the final say on the distribution plan.
Currently, funds are expected to be distributed to families starting Nov. 21, according to Mickey Gerdes, a local attorney who chairs the Uvalde committee in charge of donation allocation. Gerdes said a draft of the distribution plan is currently available to the community and will be finalized after public input.
In the meantime, the Treviños and many others have started GoFundMe pages and multiple donors and organizations have stepped in to provide immediate financial relief.
The Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department has written checks directly to 15 families of the injured, according to department president Patrick Williams. He said the organization initially received $21,000 through an annual fundraiser, which it decided to dedicate to the victims, and $49,000 through a related GoFundMe page, which closed June 1.
“At no point in time should we be talking about money and the loss of children’s life in the same sentence, but here we are and it has to be talked about,” Williams said, noting that the money his department has raised is helping families of the injured who have had to miss work and who are struggling with medical and everyday expenses.
“This has shown me the worst in man and the best in man,” Williams said.
The Treviño family’s GoFundMe page has raised more than $47,000. But, Jessica Treviño said traveling to San Antonio on a weekly basis for treatment while providing for her three other children is still a financial challenge for her and her husband.
“I also think that a lot of mental illness is pushed aside because of families like my own who have no help financially,” Treviño said.
Distributing the $14 million that is available through the other sources takes so long because each application must be vetted through medical and law records, according to Dion. He said families also need time to consult with pro-bono attorneys who can advise them about the best way the funds can be transferred — especially to minors — in accordance with local laws and without them losing any other public benefits they may already be receiving.
Applications to receive funds will be available online between Sept. 8 and Oct. 6. According to the current draft of the distribution plan, those eligible include legal heirs of the deceased, those who were either physically hurt or experienced psychological trauma, and students and staff who were present at the school when the shooting took place. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/uvalde-families-need-help-donations-take-months-to-deliver/ | 2022-07-16T18:04:28Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/uvalde-families-need-help-donations-take-months-to-deliver/ | true | 23 |
Brazil's Lula da Silva asks for calm after ally's killing
Under tight security and wearing a bulletproof vest, former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva attended a political rally in the capital city of Brasilia. After passing through a metal detector, hundreds of Workers' Party backers gathered near the stage, where da Silva called for them to remain peaceful and avoid confrontations with adversaries.
Da Silva's plea this week reflects growing concerns among politicians, authorities and voters about Brazil's presidential campaign and October election. The leftist leads all polls to return to the office he held between 2003-2010, but far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro has suggested he may not accept the results, while urging his allies to arm themselves.
Last week, Supreme Court Justice Edson Fachin, the chairman of the country’s electoral court, warned in a Washington, D.C., presentation that incidents worse than the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol could happen in Brazil this year. Last July, CIA Director William Burns told two Bolsonaro ministers that the president should stop attacking the electoral system.
Electoral tensions rose again on Saturday night, when Marcelo Arruda, a da Silva backer and Workers' Party official, was shot dead by a man who, witnesses told the police, had shouted support for Bolsonaro before pulling the trigger. The investigation is ongoing, but the killing reignited fears of political violence on the campaign trail, which officially begins in August.
“We don’t need to fight. Our weapon is our calmness, the love we have inside of us, our thirst of making people’s lives better,” da Silva said at the rally. “We don’t have to react to (Bolsonaro's supporters') provocations. If anyone teases you, tell them to go bite themselves. Go home and take care of your families. That’s the lesson we need to teach.”
Members of da Silva’s campaign and Bolsonaro’s presidency told The Associated Press they will not discuss security details with the media.
Bolsonaro, who was severely injured when he was stabbed in the abdomen at a campaign event in 2018, has presidential security at all times, including military personnel and local police.
Da Silva can only count on private security until his bid is validated by a party convention, which can take place until Aug. 5. After that, Brazil's federal police will protect him.
The federal police said in a statement that 300 officers will be among those protecting candidates.
The Workers’ Party has taken several measures to avoid conflicts between supporters, and to ensure the former president’s security. Before the rally in Brasilia, party leadership published guidelines asking supporters to move in groups, bring an extra shirt of neutral color and avoid conflict with adversaries.
“Don’t argue or attack any provocateur. Heroic actions might cause unnecessary risks to you and to your fellow supporters,” the party said.
Two members of the da Silva campaign, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss the matter publicly, confirmed to the AP that the leftist leader has been wearing bulletproof vests in public events since the beginning of July.
Da Silva supporters were thoroughly searched at the entrance of the pavilion where the event took place. But the long lines were a small concern for people like artisan Alessandra Melo, 50. She believes the former president's life is at risk, and that supporters like her could also be targeted.
“I fear a lot for Lula’s security. He likes to be close to the people. I worry for him, being out there amid all this violence," Melo said.
Smaller incidents against da Silva supporters have been reported in recent weeks. On June 15, drones dropped liquid with a pungent smell on leftists attending an event in Uberlandia, in the state of Minas Gerais. Last week, a man threw a rudimentary explosive made with small-scale fireworks at a da Silva rally in Rio de Janeiro.
No injuries resulted from either incident, and police have made arrests in both cases.
Da Silva was arrested in the sprawling Car Wash corruption probe as he led polls to win the 2018 presidential elections. His conviction also barred him from running. But the cases against him were quashed after the country’s Supreme Court ruled that judge Sergio Moro was biased against the leftist, and he was freed from jail.
Political violence is no stranger to Brazilian politics. In 2018, Rio councilwoman Marielle Franco and her driver were shot to death in their car while driving downtown.
Bolsonaro, under pressure to condemn Arruda's killing last weekend and any political violence, said on Tuesday there is no justification for the murder. He has also called members of Arruda's family. In his recorded phone call, he suggested they tell the media he shouldn't be blamed for the murder.
“Since almost all of the press is on the left, they are basically putting this guy's actions on my back," the president told two of Arruda's brothers. “The left has made this a political issue.”
Arruda's killing occurred in the southern state of Parana, a Bolsonaro stronghold. Since then, many authorities have expressed worries about the risks of violence involving supporters of both candidates.
Melina Risso, a program director at the Rio-based security think tank Igarape Institute, said candidates will only stop worrying about their own safety if Bolsonaro openly condemns those committing violent actions.
“Bolsonaro sometimes takes some steps back when these incidents appear, but that is only until the news cycle is over,” Risso said. “The risks are very real, and there is no sign that will change until the election is over."

Georgia [US], July 16 (ANI): Women often have higher rates of illness while living longer on average than males. A better diet rich in pigmented carotenoids, such as those found in yams, kale, spinach, watermelon, bell peppers, tomatoes, oranges, and carrots, is now suggested by recent research from the University of Georgia as a way to reduce these incidences of illness. These colourful fruits and vegetables play a crucial role in minimising cognitive and visual decline.
Billy R. Hammond, a professor in UGA's Franklin College of Arts and Sciences department of psychology behavioural and brain sciences programme and co-author of the study, said: "The idea is that men get a lot of the diseases that tend to kill you, but women get those diseases less often or later so they persevere but with illnesses that are debilitating." "For instance, two-thirds of all macular degeneration and dementia cases in the world today are in women. These illnesses, from which women suffer for years, are the ones that may be prevented via lifestyle changes."
Even after accounting for variations in longevity, the study showed that women experience a number of degenerative disorders at significantly greater rates than males, including autoimmune diseases and dementia. "If you include all autoimmune illnesses, women make up about 80% of the population. Women thus require more preventative care due to their sensitivity, which is directly related to biology "said Hammond.
The way women retain vitamins and minerals in their bodies is one of the factors contributing to this sensitivity. Women often have more body fat than males, according to Hammond. Many dietary vitamins and minerals are significantly absorbed by body fat, which provides pregnant women with a helpful reserve. But because there is less available for the retina and the brain, women are more likely to experience degenerative issues.
Pigmented carotenoids in the human diet serve as antioxidants. Lutein and zeaxanthin, two distinct carotenoids present in certain tissues of the eye and brain, have been demonstrated to directly ameliorate central nervous system degeneration.
Pigmented carotenoids in the human diet serve as antioxidants. Lutein and zeaxanthin, two distinct carotenoids present in certain tissues of the eye and brain, have been demonstrated to directly ameliorate central nervous system degeneration.
Men and women consume roughly the same amounts of these carotenoids, but women have substantially greater needs, according to Hammond.
Generally speaking, there are no guidelines for men or women for dietary elements that are not directly related to deficient diseases (such as vitamin C and scurvy), according to Hammond. Part of the article's thesis is that suggestions should be revised to make women more conscious of their vulnerabilities and encourage them to take proactive steps to address them before they become issues later in life.
Supplements containing carotenoids are also available, and the National Institutes of Health's National Eye Institute programme has concentrated resources on certain carotenoids. Additionally, Hammond said that ingesting lutein and zeaxanthin through food is a far superior method to using pills to increase consumption.
"Dietary factors affect the brain, affecting everything from personality to how we view ourselves. People may not fully comprehend the enormous impact eating has on their core identity, mood, and even predisposition for rage "said Hammond. The microbiome and the bacteria in your gut are now included in this, as they all contribute to the development of our brain's structural elements and the neurotransmitters that control how it functions.

Eshan Jayawardena from Napier Prison Tours talks about former inmates, escape rooms and ghost hunters at one of the country's most fascinating historic places.
Napier Prison is the oldest prison in New Zealand, and the only one to be recognised as a category 1 heritage site. It opened in 1862, and over the years it housed male and female prisoners, and also served as an asylum and a place for executions. It operated until 1993. It sat abandoned until 2002, when it was restored and initially used as a backpackers hostel. Later that year, we started providing tours.
These days we now have escape room experiences and self-guided tours that are available in 15 languages. Visitors can choose between the historical tour, the ghost tour and the kids tour, and all are equally popular. Usually, when a historian or a sociologist visits they do the historical tour, while people with an interest in the paranormal prefer the ghost tour, as we're ranked among the top six haunted places in New Zealand.
We have four escape rooms for groups of up to six people, with options for beginners as well as escape experts. Two of the rooms are identical and can be used at the same time, so you can test your skills against friends or colleagues. The experiences usually last about an hour, or however long it takes!

Advertise with NZME.We still get former inmates coming in. One told us about how prisoners would "escape" in the night to go and have a drink at the staff bar. Then the prison guard would come past and say "what are you doing here, I locked you in!" The inmates would promise to go back after they finished their drinks, and sure enough, they always went back to their rooms.
We are open throughout the year from 9am-5pm. Summertime is the busiest, with lots of visitors in town. But for people who prefer things a bit quieter, winter is ideal, and it makes the environment feel spookier as well. The self-guided tours usually take around an hour.
When it comes to other attractions in the area, the Napier Aquarium and MTG Museum are top picks, while Mission Estate, Church Road and Craggy Range are all great spots for wine lovers. Napier is easy to walk around, and has lots of good eateries and shops to explore.

British Open 2022: No. 1 Scottie Scheffler flying under the radar at St. Andrews
Scottie Scheffler is in perhaps the best possible spot heading into this week at St. Andrews.
The world’s top ranked golfer doesn’t feel like anybody is paying attention to him at the British Open.
"I don't feel like there's any extra attention on me. I haven't read much, but I would assume not everybody's picking me to win this week, just stuff like that," he said on Wednesday. "I don't think I was the favorite maybe going into the Masters. I'm not sure if I've been the favorite maybe going into any tournaments.
"That may not be the true perception. That's just mine, but I don't read a ton of stuff. So for me I don't really feel like whatever being No. 1 would be."
It’s hard to beat that.
Scheffler has been on a tear this season, which is undoubtedly his breakout year in golf.
He’s already won four times, starting with his inaugural win at the WM Phoenix Open. He then won three times in four starts, culminating in his win at The Masters in April, and quickly claimed the top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings.
He missed the cut last week at the Scottish Open, but that was just his third missed cut of the season. He was T13 at the Travelers Championship just before, and he finished T2 at the U.S. Open in June.
Despite his success, however, Scheffler insists he doesn't feel any different this week.
"I'm showing up like everybody else trying to come here and play well at a golf tournament," he said. "Being the home of golf and The Open Championship definitely amplifies things a bit, but that's across the board. I don't think it matters if I'm No. 1 in the world or No. 50 in the world, I want to win this tournament as bad or more than anybody out here."
Scheffler is listed at +2,000 on BetMGM to win the British Open, slightly behind favorite Rory McIlroy. He finished T8 last year in his debut at Royal St. George's.
"I kind of enjoy this style of golf," Scheffler said. "It's definitely different than what I'm used to, but with how firm everything is, you have to have such good control of your ball, and I feel like that's a skill of mine is being able to hit all different kinds of shots … I think that's one of the special things about this golf course. It's so simple, but it's really fun to play. No matter the conditions, I'm going to go out there and have a good time just hitting all kinds of weird shots."

Ricky Simon scored a massive finish earlier today (Sat., July 16, 2022) at UFC Long Island live on ABC/ESPN/ESPN+ from inside UBS Arena at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, when he stopped a previously undefeated Jack Shore with a second-round submission (arm triangle choke).
Simon controlled this bantamweight clash from the opening bell. He was able to use his strength and low center of gravity to get inside on Shore and keep him along the cage. In Round 2, Simon let his hands go a little more and caught Shore with a crisp right hand. Shore wobbled and fell to the canvas. That’s when Simon jumped on top and worked his way towards the fight-ending submission.
Check out the final moments above courtesy of UFC/ESPN/ABC.
Simon, 29, has now won his last five trips to the Octagon and looks ready to test his luck at the bantamweight top 10. Shore was as touted as they come and Simon made him look like a fish out of water. Very impressive to say the least.

On this week’s episode of “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, Matt discussed the career of Shane Helms, a current Producer for WWE. Here are the highlights:. “I mean, first and foremost, if you have been a wrestler, and you have learned from the bottom up, that’s your first tool that helps you so much because that means you’ve worked at every level. You’ve worked as an extra, you’ve worked as enhancement talent, you’ve worked in the middle of the card, you’ve worked on the top of the card. That is very important as a producer when you’re putting matches together, because the first match on the show is definitely going to be different than the main event is. I think that gives you a much better mindset and how to look at each one of these matches differently. You definitely want the card to build throughout the show, much like a match builds throughout the match. So I think working in all those different spots, I think that really helped Shane’s versatility out as a producer.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2666332158560/full-details-on-wwe-summerslam-tryouts-first-time-ever-fan-viewing-experience | 2022-07-16T18:32:34Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2666332158560/full-details-on-wwe-summerslam-tryouts-first-time-ever-fan-viewing-experience | false | 6 |
Auto with deity sticker, partial num plate: How cops found Brazilian woman’s lost passport
Mumbai: By scanning footage of over 40 CCTVs between Goregaon and Kurla over the course of two days, the police were able to find the bag of a distressed 23-year-old Brazilian woman that contained valuables like her passport, other documents and iPad. The woman had forgotten her bag in an auto-rickshaw.
The police also arrested the 59-year-old auto driver who had allegedly fled with the bag when she was busy on her phone after getting off the vehicle. They said that the rickshaw driver Kanhaiyalal Pal hid the valuables under his bed, with an intention of misappropriating the same, instead of submitting the belongings at the police station.
The Brazilian woman, Marine Leo, had approached the Dindoshi police on Wednesday night. Leo, who is pursuing a master’s degree, was headed to the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research at Goregaon (east).
Police inspector Chandrakant Gharge, from the Dindoshi police station, said that Leo had boarded an auto from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) and got off at the institute around 7.40 pm. But the driver drove off along with her bag when she got off the auto and was answering a phone call.
Two days later, an FIR was lodged based on her complaint. She informed the police that she was very distressed as the iPad had her education-related notes and data required for her master’s degree course.
“It was raining and dark and therefore the CCTV footage was not clear. Although we could see the Sai Baba sticker on the rear glass window of the auto-rickshaw,” said Gharge.
The police then tried to track down the auto with the help of the Sai Baba sticker in the footage of CCTVs from Goregaon to Kurla.
“We got separate numbers of the number plate from several footages. We then pieced together the entire number and secured the address of the rickshaw driver in Kalina,” said Gharge.
Leo’s stay in Mumbai was till September, but her visa was about to expire and therefore she urgently required her identification documents to get the visa renewed.
The driver, Pal, initially finned ignorance, claiming that he had not seen the bag. The police officers then searched his residence and found the bag hidden within bedsheets below his single bed.
Pal was arrested on Friday night. The iPad, passport and visa were recovered from him and handed over to Leo, said Gharge.
“We were returning from Lonavala and each one of us had a bagpack. It took us two hours from Kurla to Goregaon and I left my bag in the rickshaw. Five minutes later, I realized that my iPad and passport were missing,” said Leo.
“I am relieved to get my passport and iPad back because it would have been expensive to get a new passport and my dad had just got me this iPad which had all my notes,” said Leo, who is studying law and economics master’s degree.

Heartwarming gesture: Kashmiri Pandits welcome Muslims returning from Hajj

Updated July 16, 2022 at 1:37 PM ET
LONDON — The British government held an emergency response meeting Saturday to plan for record high temperatures next week after weather authorities issued their first-ever "red" warning for extreme heat.
The alert covers large parts of England on Monday and Tuesday, when temperatures may reach 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) for the first time, posing a risk of serious illness and even death among healthy people, the U.K. Met Office, the country's weather service, said Friday.
The British heat record is 38.7C (101.7F), set in 2019.
After chairing the meeting, Cabinet Office Minister Kit Malthouse warned that transport services will be significantly affected.
"The heat will affect rails, for example, so the trains have to run slower. There may be fewer services,″ he told the BBC. "People need to be on their guard for disruption. If they don't have to travel, this may be a moment to work from home."
Rail passengers and users of the London Underground subway system were being advised not to travel on Monday and Tuesday unless it's absolutely necessary. With children and older people considered particularly vulnerable to high temperatures, schools and nursing homes have been urged to take steps to protect students and older residents. Most schools in England are still in session until the end of next week.
The alert comes as scientists say climate change is increasing the likelihood of exceptional heat waves in Britain, a country unaccustomed to such temperatures. Few homes, apartments, schools or small businesses in the country have air conditioning.
Britain usually has moderate summer temperatures. Across the U.K., average July temperatures range from a daily high of 21 C (70 F) to a low of 12 C (53 F).
London Mayor Sadiq Khan met with representatives of the National Health Service, police, fire and other emergency services on Friday to review plans to deal with the heat emergency.
One doctor warned that the upcoming heat wave and a surge in COVID-19 infections were causing a nightmare for health workers.
"A lot of hospital buildings are very old, particularly in London, and many don't have air conditioning and windows that don't open – so they are extremely hot,'' said Dr. Claire Bronze, 38, an emergency room consultant in London. "Some staff still have to wear PPE – so plastic gowns, masks, gloves – on top of their normal uniform which, as you can imagine, means people are quickly going to get very hot and dehydrated."

India’s Covid vaccination drive nears milestone of 2 billion doses
India inched closer to administering the two billionth Covid-19 vaccine dose, with nearly 2.3 million doses delivered on Saturday, government data showed.
In anticipation of hitting the landmark, the government on Saturday created a digital clock ticking backwards to determine the number of vaccination doses left to administer to reach the target.
“India’s Covid-19 vaccination coverage has crossed 199.96 crore (1,99,96,72,322) today. More than 23 lakh (23,60,137) vaccine doses have been administered till 7pm today,” the Union health ministry said in a statement.
Till 7pm on Saturday, 1,017,462,202 first doses, 925,973,984 second doses, and 56,236,136 precaution doses were administered in the country since the national Covid immunisation drive began on January 16, 2021.
India attained the landmark target of administering the billionth dose about nine months ago on October 21, 2021.
At least 90% of the country’s population has been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, which experts believe has worked well in restricting the number of hospitalisations and deaths in the third Covid wave that began around January this year and was largely driven by the Omicron variant.
“The vaccination exercise as a tool to protect the most vulnerable population groups in the country from Covid-19 continues to be regularly reviewed and monitored at the highest level,” the health ministry statement said.
Close to 50,000 vaccination sites are administering doses on a daily basis across the country, a majority of which — nearly 47,000 — are government vaccination centres. For those who cannot reach a Covid vaccination centre either due to old age or physical restrictions, the Centre has asked the states to provide the facility at their doorstep.
The government is now focusing on promoting booster doses as the uptake for the third dose has been low. The health ministry began a door-to-door campaign — Har Ghar Dastak — to reach out to those who are yet to take the vaccine, have not completed the primary course, or are due for their booster dose.
On June 6, the health ministry reduced the gap between the second Covid vaccine dose and the precaution dose from 9 months to 6 months for all beneficiaries.
On July 13, the Centre announced that it will make Covid-19 vaccine booster doses free for all adults at government-run centres from July 15 for 75 days as part of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.
Prior to the announcement, booster doses were free only for people above the age of 60, although several states separately announced that they will sponsor the third dose for adults younger than that age.
A day after the announcement, on July 14, HT reported that a staggering 92% of Indians who are currently eligible for a third, or booster dose, of the Covid-19 vaccine have not yet taken these shots. In absolute numbers, it would amount to 594 million adults in India that are now “late” for their so-called precaution shots, highlighting the significance of the government’s announcement of a national 75-day cost-free vaccination window.
“It (booster dose) needs to be promoted as studies have shown that immunity against the viral disease wanes after a period of time, which is why boosting would be required. People should take their third shot,” said Dr Srikant Sharma, senior consultant, department of medicine, Moolchand Hospital. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/indias-covid-vaccination-drive-nears-milestone-of-2-billion-doses-101657994832518-amp.html | 2022-07-16T18:42:15Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/indias-covid-vaccination-drive-nears-milestone-of-2-billion-doses-101657994832518-amp.html | false | 2 |

(The Hill) – The prospect that Donald Trump could face challengers from his own party in 2024 is growing even as the former president inches ever closer to another White House run.
Though Trump has not officially declared his candidacy for president, he’s all but said it’s a matter of when, not if. And while the former president waves off the chances of another Republican beating him for the nomination, there are growing signs he could face a formidable primary challenge once the race kicks into high gear.
Recent polling suggests many GOP voters are ready to move on from Trump. And as the Jan. 6 hearings continue to pile scrutiny on the former president, other prospective 2024 Republicans are making the rounds in early voting states, drawing fresh speculation that they’re planning to take on the de facto leader of the party.
A New York Times/Siena College poll released this week found that 49% of Republican primary voters said they would back the former president. But 47% said they would support another GOP nominee.
“People are open to another candidate,” said Republican strategist Saul Anuzis. “Looking at, from a futuristic standpoint, who are some of the younger, newer Republican leaders who are emerging around the country.”
“There are a lot of new leaders emerging that would kind of continue the policies Trump supported and don’t have some of the baggage Trump has by automatically drawing a large anti-Trump constituency to the table as you start a campaign,” he continued.
And those younger Republican leaders are crisscrossing the country and testing the waters.
Former Trump administration offices like Vice President Mike Pence, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have taken a number of trips to the early presidential contest states of Iowa and New Hampshire while sitting senators like Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) have also been floated as potential 2024 hopefuls.
One strategist with ties to Trump’s orbit expressed some skepticism about the likes of Pence and Pompeo challenging the former president, suggesting they were positioning themselves in the event Trump decides not to run.
Even Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who won his first and only election last November, has been floated as a possibly viable pick for Republicans. Youngkin made headlines earlier this month when he addressed Nebraska’s Republican Party.
But it’s Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who has gotten the most attention as a potential alternative to Trump.
DeSantis, a former congressman, was one of the former president’s closest allies during the Trump administration. The governor has notably received praise for keeping Florida open during the majority of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reports surfaced last week that DeSantis was planning to hold a private fundraiser with GOP megadonors later this month, while Politico reported that the governor recently convened a number of his top donors and some GOP governors in Fort Lauderdale.
DeSantis has maintained that he’s focused on his reelection bid in November, but speculation about a potential presidential run from the governor is building.
“DeSantis today is probably the most viable alternative to Trump,” Anuzis said. “A lot of people are looking at him as the next generation of Republican leaders.”
But a DeSantis run could lead to a potential showdown with Trump, who has taken credit for DeSantis’ political success.
The Republican strategist with ties to Trump’s orbit told The Hill that DeSantis is “more likely than not to run,” but argued the governor would struggle in a primary with Trump.
“A big part of his appeal is around his support for Trump and that he’s Trump’s governor in Florida,” the strategist said before suggesting that DeSantis’ support could take a hit in a potential primary if he tried to attack or criticize the former president.
While Trump is the clear frontrunner in the majority of hypothetical 2024 Republican primary polls, recent data suggests that DeSantis is beginning to close the gap.
A much-talked about University of New Hampshire Granite State Poll released last month showed DeSantis receiving 39% support from likely Republican primary voters in the state compared to 37% for Trump.
Meanwhile, a KLAS TV-The Hill-Emerson College poll published this week showed both DeSantis and Trump beating Biden in the battleground state of Nevada.
Strategists suggest the close in the gap between Trump and DeSantis, in addition to Trump’s performance in the New York Times/Sienna College poll, is indicative of a larger trend.
“He’s on the downtrend and he has been for the past year,” Keith Naughton, a GOP strategist, said.
But Republicans also caution that Trump has the best shot of winning a primary at this moment due to his ability to fundraise, support among the grassroots and strong name I.D.
“He’s still the 800-pound gorilla in the room. I think at this stage in the game if he were to decide to run, he would be the candidate to beat if not the presumptive nominee,” Anuzis said.
The national mood could not be better for Republicans going into the 2022 midterms. Biden’s approval ratings continue to plummet as inflation continues to rise. And with Republicans appearing to be on track to make significant gains in Congress and across the country in November, the party’s strategists say the environment is ripe for exploring a potential GOP presidential bid.
“Given how vulnerable Biden is it will draw a lot of candidates,” said Alex Conant, who worked on Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) 2016 presidential campaign.
However, party strategists warn that Trump could deal a blow to Republicans’ 2024 chances if he continued to center his 2024 message on the 2020 presidential election results.
“He’s in repeats right now. These aren’t ‘Seinfeld’ repeats, these are ‘Cosby Show’ repeats, nothing anyone really wants to see anymore,” Naughton said.
Instead, Republicans say that whoever their nominee is must be critical of Biden’s first term in office, not his presidential campaign from four years ago.
“The 2024 election is going to be about the Democrats’ record. Whether Biden runs again or not, the Democrats are going to have to define his term in office,” Conant said.
“I think for Republicans to be successful, we need to make the case that Biden was not successful and we can do better,” he continued. “If we try to make the election about who won in 2020, that is not going to inspire independent voters to get out and vote for the Republican candidate.”
It remains unclear when Trump will make an announcement, but strategists agree the former president should keep it under wraps until the midterms for the sake of his party.
“Some voters will resent a candidate looking toward the next election when we haven’t even had the one that’s right in front of us yet,” Conant said. “There’s going to be plenty of time for presidential politics in 2023.”

(NEXSTAR) — Are you being spied on in your Airbnb or Vrbo rental?
It’s a common worry in the short-term rental economy.
Last week, a civil lawsuit was filed in Kendall County, Texas, after a couple say homeowners recorded them during “intimate and private moments” while they were renting their property in August 2020. One of the homeowners was arrested and officials say their investigation discovered other illegally recorded explicit images of different guests.
Despite how sneaky some hidden camera hiding tricks can be, there are plenty of ways to detect them.
How to check for hidden cameras
Expert Marcus Hutchins, whose cybersecurity tips TikTok account @malwaretech has over 425,000 followers, says one quick way to find a hidden camera is by shining a light inside any items with holes in them. For instance, run your phone’s flashlight over a smoke detector or air conditioning vent — any lenses inside will give a bluish reflection. Hutchins explains hidden cameras can be hidden in shower heads and even outlet plugs.
Shining lights on mirrors or other mirrored items will also reveal camera lenses hiding behind the glass, Hutchins says.
Meanwhile, Michael O’Rourke, chief executive of the global security consultancy firm Advanced Operational Concepts, previously outlined a few of his tips for the Washington Post.
O’Rourke says he unplugs beside clocks/alarms and puts them away in a drawer. Next, he says he covers peepholes in doors and covers cracks under doorways in case and camera lenses can see through from outside.
Another tactic suggested by some experts is to disconnect your rental’s wifi completely, though this may be against your host’s rules, in addition to possibly causing other issues for (non-invasive) connected devices.
The smartphone app Fing is also noted for its ability to scan for hidden cameras on its own.
Short-term rental policies on cameras
Only cameras and recording devices that are clearly visible in common spaces and disclosed before guest reservations are allowed, according to the Airbnb camera policies. The company also explicitly states “common areas” do not include sleeping areas or bathrooms — not even living rooms that have sofa beds.
Vrbo’s privacy policy explains surveillance devices are anything that captures photos and videos, but also geolocation and personably identifiable information. Internet data monitoring by hosts is also considered surveillance. Devices aren’t allowed inside of a property, though hosts are allowed to use devices for security outside the property. All recording devices must be disclosed to guests beforehand.
If you think you may have been or are being monitored without your consent, you should contact the company you rented from. | https://www.wkrn.com/news/how-to-check-your-airbnb-vrbo-for-hidden-cameras/ | 2022-07-16T18:57:00Z | https://www.wkrn.com/news/how-to-check-your-airbnb-vrbo-for-hidden-cameras/ | false | 18 |
Riyadh [Saudi Arabia]: Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud said on Saturday that the kingdom will increase oil production to 13 million barrels per day at most, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Saudi Arabia won’t have the capability to raise production further, the crown prince was quoted as saying.
His announcement came during a summit in Jeddah with U.S. President Joe Biden and leaders of other Gulf Cooperation Council member states, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq.
The crown prince said unrealistic energy policies would lead to higher inflation, urging unified efforts to support the world economy at a time of profound challenges.
He called for international efforts to face the challenges of COVID-19 and geopolitics situations to achieve global economic recovery and food and health security.
Biden attended the summit on the last day of his first Middle East tour since taking office in early 2021. | https://www.siasat.com/saudi-arabia-to-increase-oil-production-mohammed-bin-salman-2371174/ | 2022-07-16T18:57:54Z | https://www.siasat.com/saudi-arabia-to-increase-oil-production-mohammed-bin-salman-2371174/ | true | 2 |
Hull City rounded off their trip to Turkiye and Spain with a thrilling 3-1 success over Malaga at the Marbella Football Centre on Saturday night. Goals from Jacob Greaves, Alfie Jones and Lewie Coyle sealed what turned out to be a good evening's work for the Tigers.
The victory, their first of pre-season so far backs up a solid and spirited display in front of 25,000 fans last weekend against Fenerbahce, and comes after a 2-1 win against Brighton's youngsters earlier on Saturday.
City's squad will now head back to the UK on Sunday to prepare for the game on Wednesday night against Leicester City at the MKM Stadium.

Here's the big talking points from the game...
Just what they needed
For all the work players can do in training, however competitive internal games can be, there's no way to replicate coming up against external opposition, in Malaga, they came up against a well-drilled side and one that gave them a decent game, particularly at this stage of pre-season.
In front of an excitable crowd in Marbella, the City players will be pleased with the standard of opposition and were given a real test, it was just what they needed after that barnstorming occasion in Sakarya.
This has been a good week since the high jinks of Istanbul, it's allowed the players to get down to business and focus on getting themselves ready, and this game showed what they'd been doing in training, is beginning to pay off.
Set-pieces
City's lack of potency from set-pieces last season was an obvious area of concern, just one goal from their central defenders in 46 games tells it's own story, and this week, Arveladze has spoken of his desire to see his centre-backs score more.
He will have been delighted, then, that the first two goals here came from pinpoint corners into the box, and two of his three central defenders winning first contact and heading the ball into the net.
Both Jacob Greaves and Alfie Jones should be targeting double figures this season, particularly when you have the quality of Callum Elder and Seri pinging balls into the box.
Run Coyle run
Throughout the game, Lewie Coyle showed that he can be the marauding wing-back City need to flourish in this system. He was up and down, looking to link up with Ryan Longman and go beyond.
That willingness to burst forward came to fruition in the second half when Longman fizzed the ball out to him, before he took a touch and thumped it into the top corner.
Arveladze's system puts a big emphasis on the two wing-backs to get forward and create overloads, to put good balls into the box and in Elder and Coyle, that's exactly what he got on Saturday night.
Next up
There's little time to reflect on their work over the last 10 days or so for Arveladze's players. Their flight back to England on Sunday will see them given a couple of days to rest and prepare for their next outing.
That comes on Wednesday night when Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City are the visitors to the MKM Stadium and will no doubt provide a stern test of their progress so far.
Having faced Fenerbahce and now Malaga, City will go into their third game of five in good heart, and will no doubt relish the chance to pit their wits against an established Premier League side, in front of what looks like being a decent attendance.
