Artist recreates famous faces from Shakespeare to David Bowie into mosaic-style masterpieces using just pebbles
STONE me! An artist recreates famous faces from Shakespeare to David Bowie just using pebbles.
Art lecturer Justin Bateman, 46, of Portsmouth, Hants, has made 60 mosaic-style masterpieces.
He has depicted figures as diverse as Cupid and Robert De Niro, ranging in size from one square metre to eight.
Each face can take up to five weeks at a time and he works mainly in the UK and Thailand.
Currently in Thailand, Bateman said: “The location is rather opportunist - if I discover a reasonably level location with stones nearby, I log it on my Google maps.
“I also bury stones in locations I will be revisiting, marking their colour palette on my map as a supply for future use - a bit like a squirrel with his acorns.
“I’m a minimalist, so it’s very useful to have a ready made canvas, easel and palette on the floor.
“They are extremely time consuming. They vary wildly…This really depends on how cooperative the stones are being.
“For a small one, location selection and stone collection takes a few days.
"If the piece works easily it will take between three and twelve days to create. Larger pieces can take four or five weeks to complete.
Most read in The Sun
“Once the subject has made itself known, my attention starts to filter the world in accordance with stone type/colour/size, locations, weather/light conditions and access.
“If these elements align I will start collecting stones. Once I have enough stones to complete the eyes of my subject, I carry out an experiment to see if the piece will work.
"If the eyes do not work I reconsider the elements or abandon the piece.
“Most people are very surprised to see my work. Some appreciate the fact it references traditional art forms with a more contemporary approach, some because it celebrates the possibility of the everyday and others due to the aesthetic.” | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19231715/pebble-artist-shakespeare-bowie-mosaic/ | 2022-07-18T00:21:22Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19231715/pebble-artist-shakespeare-bowie-mosaic/ | false | 3 |
Grubhub recently offered New Yorkers a deal that the online food-ordering company hoped many couldn’t refuse: free lunch.
The May promotion, which promised $15 worth of free food to people who ordered through Grubhub’s app, overwhelmed Grubhub’s system, with as many as 6,000 takeout and delivery orders coming in each minute at the peak of the promotion. | https://bioreports.net/grubhub-hustles-to-catch-up-in-business-it-once-led/ | 2022-07-18T00:28:57Z | https://bioreports.net/grubhub-hustles-to-catch-up-in-business-it-once-led/ | true | null |
In Northern Ireland during 2021/2022, farming accounted for 6 of the 18 (33%) deaths investigated by the Health and Safety Executive NI (HSENI).
According to new figures published by the Farm Safety Foundation (FSF), the charity behind Farm Safety Week, there were 25 farm death is Great Britain – down from 41 the previous year.
In the Republic of Ireland, nine people died in farm accidents in 2020/2021 compared to 20 the previous year.
Of the 25 people killed in GB in the past year, 22 were farm workers and three were members of the public.
The FSF said that an industry that still has between one and two children being killed through its activities each year “simply must improve”.
In response to the latest figures, the charity has posed the question: “Farming has changed so much over the past decade so why hasn’t its safety record?”
It said: “This week, the Farm Safety Foundation will highlight some of the key issues facing the farming community, spotlight the work being done to drive a change in attitudes and behaviours and introduce ten inspirational farm safety heroes who have worked tirelessly over the past decade to reduce the injury risk for farmers and farming families”.
Stephanie Berkeley, FSF manager, said: “Despite an encouraging improvement in the HSE figures over the past year, these are very sobering statistics.
“We must remember that these are not just statistics – behind every fatal notification is a worker, a visitor or a child. We cannot become immune to the impact that each and every death has on farming families and communities across the UK and Ireland.
“Ten years after our first campaign, we cannot continue to accept that risk-taking is part and parcel of farming – we have to work harder to make it safer.”
Ms Berkeley added: “Awareness of farm safety is at an all-time high with 66% of farmers in the UK (80% of under 40s) aware of Farm Safety Week according to NFU Mutual’s Voice of the Farmer 2022 survey – but the fact remains that, over the past year, 25 people lost their lives on GB farms so, awareness may be one thing but the time has come for action.”
The figures have contained in the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) Fatal Injuries in Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing in GB Report 2021/22.
Ms Berkeley went on to say: “Farming is an industry where people do not retire at 65 so, with the oldest farm worker killed over the past year being 85 years of age, we need to look after our older workers so they can continue to support the farm business and carry out tasks are appropriate for their mobility, agility and health conditions.
“But the truth is, farmers of ALL ages need to start challenging and changing their attitudes so we can make our farms safer places to work and to live.”

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Hammer throwers Brooke Andersen and Janee’ Kassanavoid extended America’s roll on home turf Sunday, taking gold and bronze medals at the world championships a day after the U.S. sweep in the men’s 100 meters.
Andersen, a 26-year-old from California, won the gold medal with a throw of 259 feet, 1/2 inches (78.96 meters) that beat Canada’s Camryn Rogers by more than 11 feet (3.3 meters).
“I was looking out across the field and I thought to myself, ‘I’m a world champion,’” Andersen said.
Kassanavoid took bronze to give the U.S. women’s throwers three medals over the first three days of the meet.
A few minutes before the men swept the 100 on Saturday evening, Chase Ealey became the first female American to win the world title in shot put. Sweeping the men’s race were Fred Kerley, Marvin Bracy and Trayvon Bromell. It was the second 1-2-3 finish in the 100 at worlds for the Americans. Carl Lewis led the other in 1991.
Andersen is the second straight U.S. world champion in hammer throw. DeAnna Price won in 2019 in Qatar.
Through 2 1/2 days of action, America led the medals table with three golds and seven overall.
Other gold medals awarded during Sunday’s daytime session went to Ethiopia’s Tamirat Tola in the marathon; Tola separated himself from the pack late and won in 2 hours, 5 minutes, 36 seconds — a gap of 1:08 over countryman Mosinet Geremew.
In the men’s 10,000, world-record holder Joshua Cheptegei of Kenya defended his world title in 27:27.43. Stanley Mburu took silver after stumbling and falling to the track early in the first lap of the race.
There were four more medals up for grabs Sunday night — in women’s pole vault, the 110 hurdles, men’s shot put and the women’s 100 meters.
Two-time Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah of Jamaica was the favorite in the 100 and many thought she had a decent chance to break the 34-year-old record of 10.49 seconds held by Florence Griffith-Joyner.
The last time Thompson-Herah ran a final at Hayward was two weeks after the Tokyo Olympics at Prefontaine Classic. She clocked at 10.54 and joined Flo Jo as the only woman to break 10.6.

MEXICO CITY – Drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, captured by Mexican forces, was notified this weekend that a process to extradite him to the United States for crimes including the murder of a DEA agent in 1985 has begun.
A Mexican federal official who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to make statements confirmed Sunday to The Associated Press that the notification was made Saturday and took place virtually.
A judge based in a Mexico City informed Caro Quintero, wanted in the United States for the torture and killing of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in 1985, of the accusations against him. He is being held in a high-security prison 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of the capital.
Caro Quintero was one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives since he was released from a Mexican jail in 2013 on a technicality after being imprisoned for nearly three decades for the murder of Camarena and a Mexican pilot.
Saturday’s notification was the first step in the legal process to extradite him to the United States. Attorney General Merrick Garland said Friday that “immediate extradition” would be sought.
Now the U.S. government has 60 days to file a formal extradition request and provide evidence to support it. Then the judge handling the case will determine whether or not it proceeds.
During this period, Caro Quintero’s lawyers will probably file appeals to try to delay the extradition process.
Extradition processes tend to be lengthy, although their speed depends a lot on the political will of the countries.
Caro Quintero, 69, was captured on Friday in the mountains of his home state of Sinaloa in a joint operation by the Mexican Navy and the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. Fourteen marines who were involved in the operation died when the Black Hawk helicopter they were in crashed. Causes of the incident are still under investigation.
The drug trafficker was one of the founders of the Guadalajara Cartel and, according to the DEA, one of the main suppliers of heroin, cocaine and marijuana to the United States in the 1970s and 1980s.
He blamed Camarena for a raid on a marijuana plantation in 1984. In 1985, Camarena was kidnapped in Guadalajara, allegedly on orders from Caro Quintero. His tortured body was found a month later. Caro Quintero was first captured in Costa Rica in 1985. | https://www.news4jax.com/news/2022/07/17/extradition-process-begins-for-mexico-drug-lord-wanted-in-us/ | 2022-07-18T00:42:55Z | https://www.news4jax.com/news/2022/07/17/extradition-process-begins-for-mexico-drug-lord-wanted-in-us/ | true | 34 |
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Jacksonville woman is praising her service dogs for alerting her of a house fire in their Northside neighborhood Sunday morning.
Unusual behavior ended up being the key signal.
Cat King said she loves her service dogs named Rocky, Einstein and Mahogany.
They have been with her altogether for three years.
King said they bark a lot, but what they did early Sunday morning made her concerned.
While King was sleeping around 3 a.m., the trio barked nonstop for more than five minutes, which King said was out of character.
“I would not wake up and they just kept on pawing at me like, ‘wake up, wake up,” King said. “I was like ‘go to sleep, go to sleep.’
But they were persistent. That is when King knew something was not right.
“They started going toward the door,” King said. “When I open the door, they just rushed and took off.”
Instead of running their usual route to the left of the house, King said they ran to the right. They all saw the house across the street from them on Menlo Avenue in flames.
King ran back inside to call 911.
“It could’ve hit both sides of the houses,” King said of the fire. “I didn’t even think about that. All I was thinking was at the house is on fire.”
Thankfully, no one was home at the time.
“That whole house could’ve been gone,” King said.
But Rocky, Einstein and Mahogany saw something, and in their own way, said something.
“I’m so proud of them,” King said. “They did a good job. They let me know how good fur babies are and how good they can take care of people.”
The cause of the fire is unknown. | https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2022/07/17/good-fur-babies-trio-of-dogs-helps-alert-sleeping-jacksonville-woman-of-nearby-house-fire/ | 2022-07-18T00:43:45Z | https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2022/07/17/good-fur-babies-trio-of-dogs-helps-alert-sleeping-jacksonville-woman-of-nearby-house-fire/ | true | 1 |

The Social Democratic Party, SDP, standard flagbearer, Prince Adewole Adebayo, disclosed at the weekend that he brought in beneficial projects to the country at no cost, but that the current government’s officials turned it down because it was not serving the personal interest of the officials.
Adebayo, a successful lawyer and businessman, said he wanted to help with the power problems of the country, leading him to bringing the business initiative that would not only increase power generation in the country, but also provide about two million jobs at no cost to the federal government, but that government officials, rather than support and give all the necessary assistance, were asking for bribe.

He said: “I am not saying this to embarrass anybody. Do you know that for three years I have been talking to the current government to help generate electricity and create about two million jobs with no kobo fro the government.
“It costs absolutely nothing to the government. I have held meetings with them. I have met a minister countless times. I have even taken it to the highest level. They just won’t let it be done. I am not faking it.
“I am just talking out of respect, but if they react to it and ask me to come and say it, I will mention the name, date and everything.
“I showed them the amount money the Europeans are coming in to invest. I told them that I am their lawyer. They were sending people to go and negotiate with them(what is in it for me?).
“Those ones got mad and were asking if my people were mental? They said we are coming to your country to help you generate electricity, we are not collecting any money from you, rather we are using our money,” he stated.
Adebayo said for the past 15 years, he has not experienced power outage from his Abuja office because.
“I got the office off the national grid. And that’s 15 years back. I am not talking theory. These are things I have done and still doing.
“That is why I said examine people’s lives before giving your votes. These kind of solutions don’t and won’t make minister rich.
“A minister who signs an agreement with a foreign investment to come and do electricity in Nigeria gains nothing personally, it is only the country that gains and these people are not in government to gain.
“There is nothing wrong with our country. We are the problems to ourselves.’
Adebayo, while asking questions on Twitter platform conversation with hashtag #TalkingJobson,#GettingitrightNig with Prince Adewole Adebayo, anchored by human rights activist, Segun Awosanya popularly known as Sega, said if elected into office, he was going to provide 30 million jobs, at the first instance.
He added that he secured the agreement to provide jobs with 2,000 American companies who are willing and ready to come over to Nigeria to establish and provide employment.
“I am already preparing what to be done when I get elected, not looking for what to do when you get into office. I am employer of labour. Kaftan Television, the pharmaceutical company, the farm are there with people working there.
“Currently, I am training about 500 random people in green energy. They are being trained by four companies. These are people who have never seen solar panel before.
“They are getting physical and remote training from the manufacturers. By the time they are done, they can become trainers trainers, and before you know it, you will see how the sector would boom. Imagine if I was training 500,000, you can see that the jobs are already being created.”
Regarding the perennial insecurity in the country and what he would do if elected, Adebayo said the Commander in Chief can never be innocent any time security is implicated, because according to him, the president and indeed, every president has the ability to reach his troop anywhere it is located in the country.
Said he: “A soldier who is at the check point takes his final order from the president. When I was going g to Ekiti State during the governorship election, I was not allowed to enter Ekiti because the soldiers stopped me from entering which was a shock to me.
“None of us, including my convoy, was allowed into Ekiti. My security called the captain who said sir, we have order that you should not enter. So if you contact the governor…
“I said I must contact Fayemi(Governor of Ekiti state) before I enter Ekiti, God forbid. He said that is our order. Luckily enough, I had the contact of the Chief of Defence Staff, called his office, somebody in his office answered.
“I said I am the presidential candidate of my party. I am going to Ekiti for a rally and I have been held here for more than an hour. He asked by who? I said soldiers. He said it is not possible. I gave the phone to the captain.
“He told him, have you lost your mind; what concerns army with elections? Let the man go. He gave me a salute and I went my way. The Chief of Defence Staff is one step away from Buhari. It means the Commander in Chief has effective control. “So he cannot be innocent when security is implicated, because all the information at his disposal.” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/how-govt-officials-sabotaged-power-project-over-bribe-adebayo-sdp-presidential-candidate/ | 2022-07-18T00:50:29Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/how-govt-officials-sabotaged-power-project-over-bribe-adebayo-sdp-presidential-candidate/ | true | 2 |
San Diego Padres pick Vanderbilt baseball signee Dylan Lesko in 2022 MLB Draft
Vanderbilt baseball signee Dylan Lesko was drafted 15th overall by the San Diego Padres in the 2022 MLB Draft.
Lesko, a right-handed pitcher, was the 2021 Gatorade National Player of the Year, the first player to ever win the honor as an underclassman.
He was widely considered to be the top pitcher in the draft until having Tommy John surgery in April. Despite the injury, he is still considered one of the draft's top arms, as many of the other top pitchers in the draft are also injured. Lesko was thought to have high signing bonus demands, however there is a good chance that his upside is enough for him to still sign away from his commitment. Lesko has until Aug. 1 to sign.
Lesko has a mid-90s fastball and is especially known for his changeup.

Tax cuts AREN'T a fairytale, Rishi! Economic experts say inflation will give Treasury a £60billion boost by 2025
- Rising wages and rising taxes mean inflation is set to drive up the tax collected
- But ex-chancellor Rishi Sunak told Liz Truss last week tax cuts are a 'fairytale'
- The £60 billion takes into account higher spending to combat the cost of living
Red-hot inflation means the Treasury is set to take £60billion more in taxes by 2025 than it is now predicting, a leading think-tank has calculated.
Rising wages and prices, combined with controversial tax grabs introduced by former chancellor Rishi Sunak, will help pull in vast amounts of cash, according to the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR).
This will give the next prime minister enough breathing room to slash Britain's crippling tax burden, the CEBR said.
But the research is at odds with the policies of Mr Sunak, who is hoping to replace Boris Johnson in No 10.
Rising wages and prices, combined with controversial tax grabs introduced by former chancellor Rishi Sunak, will help pull in vast amounts of cash, according to the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR)
Mr Sunak has been reluctant to reverse the tax hikes he introduced as chancellor, including the highly controversial National Insurance rise
Mr Sunak has been reluctant to reverse the tax hikes he introduced as chancellor, which included a rise in national insurance contributions and a freezing of the thresholds at which people must pay income tax.
He has also warned that tax cuts would have to be funded by borrowing and that 'borrowing your way out of inflation is a fairytale'.
But his leadership rivals such as Foreign Secretary Liz Truss have pledged faster tax cuts in an effort to boost Britain's growth.
The rise in national insurance contributions from April was a 'mistake', Miss Truss has said.
She added: 'I think it's even more of a mistake now, where we are facing such strong economic headwinds.'
Referring to the tax burden, which is set to rise to the highest level since the 1950s, former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, who is backing Miss Truss, said: 'We go from the top of the G7 leaderboard in terms of growth this year to the bottom next year, and this is why.
'Cutting taxes six months before an election is no good – we need to show we are a party who can cut taxes now.'
While Mr Sunak has suggested that slashing taxes would not be 'responsible', the CEBR's research has thrown his claim into doubt. When the former chancellor initially froze income tax thresholds last year, he was not expecting wages to rise as rapidly as they are now.
The soaring cost of living has led employees to demand higher pay, and while wages are still not keeping up with inflation, they are climbing.
Yet in a 'stealth tax', income tax thresholds have not risen in line with salaries, meaning more workers are being dragged into paying the levy.
By the 2024/25 financial year, the CEBR thinks 36.4million workers will be paying income tax, and 9million – more than one in four people in employment – will be paying the 40 per cent higher rate.
Douglas McWilliams, deputy chairman of the CEBR, said: 'Since these receipts will come from the effects of inflation and fiscal drag, meaning that people will be paying more tax than expected, it would not be unreasonable for the additional revenues to be used for tax cuts'
This is 200,000 more paying income tax and a further 200,000 paying the higher rate than the Government's Budget watchdog forecast in March. Higher prices, which have been pushed up by Covid and the war in Ukraine, will also bring in more money from VAT.
The levy is charged on most goods at 20 per cent – but the higher the price of the goods, the more money the Government will take. The CEBR also thinks economic growth will be higher by 2024/25 than the Office for Budget Responsibility pessimistically assumes. This will automatically boost the Treasury's coffers, as companies pay more corporation tax.
Even if the Government is forced to spend more on helping Britons survive a tough few years ahead, and higher inflation and interest rates bump up the cost of borrowing, the CEBR still believes the Treasury will end up with £60billion more to play with in the 2024/25 financial year than it thinks.
Douglas McWilliams, deputy chairman of the CEBR, said: 'Since these receipts will come from the effects of inflation and fiscal drag, meaning that people will be paying more tax than expected, it would not be unreasonable for the additional revenues to be used for tax cuts.'
The CEBR's research comes as the Tory tax row turned toxic. Miss Truss and Mr Sunak clashed over tax in the first TV debate on Friday, when she savaged him over his national insurance rise. The Foreign Secretary argued that 'you cannot tax your way to growth' while Mr Sunak told her: 'Borrowing your way out of inflation is a fairytale.'
Miss Truss has vowed to axe green levies on energy bills, cancel the corporation tax hike from 19 per cent to 25 per cent next year and reverse the hike in national insurance, which was introduced in April. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11022885/Tax-cuts-ARENT-fairytale-Economic-experts-say-inflation-Treasury-60billion-boost.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-18T00:58:10Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11022885/Tax-cuts-ARENT-fairytale-Economic-experts-say-inflation-Treasury-60billion-boost.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false | 3 |

LAS VEGAS (KLAS)– A plane crash at the North Las Vegas Airport left multiple people dead, the Clark County Department of Aviation said Sunday.
The crash involved two general aviation aircraft. A statement from the department read: “There were no survivors.”
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, a Piper PA-46 collided with a Cessna 172, both single-engine planes, while preparing to land. The Piper crashed into a field east of the runway, and the Cessna fell into a water retention pond.
The agency said each aircraft had two people aboard.
Both the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating this incident.
The crash happened around noon on Sunday. | https://www.wtrf.com/news/national-news/multiple-dead-after-2-planes-collide-in-north-las-vegas/ | 2022-07-18T00:58:30Z | https://www.wtrf.com/news/national-news/multiple-dead-after-2-planes-collide-in-north-las-vegas/ | false | null |
Pumas were able to finally get their first victory of the 2022 Apertura with a 1-0 win over Necaxa. After two straight ties (three if you count a friendly against Celta de Vigo on Wednesday), Pumas was able to get their first win at home. Pumas had a great first half but faltered badly in the second, where Necaxa did enough to earn a tie but failed to convert their opportunities. Pumas will have a tough visit away to Pachuca, while Necaxa returns home to face FC Juarez.
The first half started with Pumas coming out with their best lineup, except for the still injured defender Arturo Ortiz. Pumas started well, but weren’t able to get any good chances. Then off of a corner kick, Pumas got a great goal when a cross was volleyed without touching the ground by Adrian Aldrete from just outside the area, his incredible shot going past Necaxa’s goalkeeper Luis Malagon for the 1-0 lead. It was a wonderful goal for Pumas to open the scoring with. There was controversy when a shot by Gustavo del Prete looked to have been handled in the area, but the referee failed to give a penalty kick because it was outside the area. Pumas later had a good chance off of a counter, but Eduardo Salvio’s shot was easily saved by Malagon. Later Salvio got the ball in the area, but his shot went wide. Pumas then wasted an incredible chance when a Salvio cross was headed wide by Juan Ignacio Dinenno from close range. In the next play, Necaxa’s Milton Gimenez was red carded for a supposed elbowing of Leonel Lopez. After going to VAR, the call was corrected and the referee decided to go with a yellow card. The halftime whistle blew and Pumas took their deserved lead to the dressing rooms.
The second half started with Pumas hoping to get more goals and Necaxa hoping to get the tie. Pumas had a great chance when Dinenno got a close range left footed shot, but it was well saved by Malagon. Necaxa then got close when a header by Gimenez was close but wide. Necaxa then subbed out Bryan Garnica and Dieter Villalpando for Heriberto Jurado and Facundo Batista. Jurado made an impact immediately with a shot that forced Pumas’ goalkeeper Julio Gonzalez to make a save. Necaxa subbed out Fernando Madrigal and Edgar Mendez for Ulises Cardona and Angelo Araos. Pumas meanwhile subbed out Gustavo del Prete for Santiago Trigos. Necaxa had gained the advantage in possession, and surprisingly it was Pumas who looked like they were starting to wilt in the heat. Necaxa missed a great chance when a cross into the area found Batista, who had a close range header go wide in a very bad miss. Pumas subbed out Jorge Ruvalcaba and Leonel Lopez for Cesar Huerta and Marco Garcia. There was another handball in the area for Necaxa which the referee failed to give a penalty on, judging it to have been accidental. Pumas then subbed out Eduardo Salvio for Jeronimo Rodriguez. Pumas looked lethargic in the final minutes, as they tried to hold on against Necaxa but were able to pull and finally get their first win of the season.
Pumas didn’t have a great performance because of their collapse in the second half, but were finally able to get a win. It seemed the activity against Celta on Wednesday hit the team late, and Necaxa finished as the better team in the second half but weren’t able to get a goal. Pumas however probably prefers having those three points than good performances like against Leon, where they got a 3-0 lead only to end up tied 3-3 despite Leon finishing with 10 players because of a red card. Pumas will now have a very tough visit away to face Pachuca before facing the first three match week of Liga MX. Necaxa improved in the second half but it wasn’t enough and will kick themselves for misses like the one Batista had. They will return home and face a Juarez FC in a match they should be heavily favored to win. | https://www.fmfstateofmind.com/2022/7/17/23264679/liga-mx-2022-apertura-match-recap-unam-pumas-1-necaxa-0 | 2022-07-18T01:01:10Z | https://www.fmfstateofmind.com/2022/7/17/23264679/liga-mx-2022-apertura-match-recap-unam-pumas-1-necaxa-0 | true | 1 |

Are Samsung or GE microwaves best?
One of the most important appliances to have in a modern kitchen is a microwave. With fast cooking times, incredible versatility and relatively small space consumption, a microwave makes a major difference in anyone’s home. Two of the most popular companies that sell microwaves are Samsung and GE. Both companies sell a wide variety of different options and serve as great choices for your home. However, choosing between the two is a difficult decision.
Samsung microwaves offer top-of-the-line quality and design while GE offers a larger selection and more affordable choices.
What to know before you buy a Samsung microwave
Samsung microwaves are some of the highest rated options from experts and consumers alike. The sleek designs work well in any kitchen and the large number of cooking options allows you to make food to your exact specifications.
Samsung microwave pros
Samsung’s largest strength when it comes to microwaves is their performance. Many of the newest models from the company come with a triple distribution system that improves overall heat distribution and helps food cook more evenly. This technology prevents cold spots and reduces the cook time for most items. Furthermore, many Samsung models come with up to 37 preset cooking options which allow you to tailor your cooking to your food type.
Another major advantage for Samsung microwaves is the ceramic enamel interior. This material reduces the ability for food to stick or stain the inside of the microwave, making it easier for you to clean it off.
Many of the newest Samsung products also come with an eco mode. This mode reduces power consumption by turning off display features. This can save you up to 40% in power over the course of the microwave’s lifespan and end up saving you money.
Samsung microwave cons
The biggest downside for Samsung is its lack of versatility and price. While the company does offer more affordable options, GE has several choices at lower prices than Samsung’s cheapest model. If you are shopping on a budget, this may make Samsung a less accessible choice than GE or other competitors.
Additionally, the company offers a smaller selection of options than GE. While there are still several to choose from, Samsung has a more streamlined number of products that do not cover every base. This is especially true for over-the-range microwaves, where Samsung only sells a few models.
Samsung also lacks the same kind of power than many comparable microwaves have. With most models maxing out at 1000 watts, the company does not offer the same level of cooking power that many other brands have. However, this figure remains consistent across the Samsung product line, meaning that many of the lower price microwaves will be more powerful than similarly priced models from GE.
Many users have also made complaints about the durability of some Samsung microwaves. While all products have a limited warranty, some users have reported issues with the product’s performance within just a few years of purchasing.
Best Samsung microwaves
One of the best Samsung microwaves on the market is the Samsung MS14K6000AG/AA MS14K6000 speed-cooking microwave oven. This microwave comes in a sleek black or stainless steel and offers a sensor cooking option that will automatically adjust its cooking temperature based on the weight of the food.
A slightly more affordable option from the company is the Samsung Electronics MG11H2020CT Countertop Grill Microwave. This product has a grilling element that more evenly distributes heat and offers a more well-rounded cooking experience for meat.
What to know before you buy a GE microwave
Where Samsung focuses on a smaller line, GE has a large number of products at a wide range of prices. The company also focuses more heavily on general appliances as opposed to Samsung which has a wider focus on all electronics.
GE microwave pros
The best part about buying a GE microwave is the versatility. The company has a number of microwaves that can fit your needs perfectly. This is especially true when it comes to price where GE sells multiple products at $100 or less. If you are shopping on a budget, you will be able to easily afford a GE option without breaking the bank.
Additionally, GE products come in several different designs with the company selling microwaves in white, black, stainless steel and hybrid colors. This allows you to better fit the product to the design scheme of your current kitchen.
Most microwaves from the company also have multiple cooking options built to cook food items such as vegetables, popcorn, potatoes and full dinner plates. The microwaves also have an automatic defrosting feature that will adjust power levels properly for the food inside.
GE microwave cons
The largest major downside to GE microwaves is the average power level. Unlike Samsung, which stays consistent across nearly all models, GE has a number of products that only have 700 watts. This will increase the cook time for these microwaves and make them less effective and cooking food items that require higher power levels.
Another major con for GE is the lack of cooking options and customizable choices. The microwaves generally offer the most basic cooking features and have no real integration of higher level technology. This means that most GE models have no sensors or special cooking options based on the weight or size of the food.
Best GE microwaves
One of the best microwaves from GE is the GE JES1097SMSS Countertop Microwave Oven. This has the most integrated technology of any GE model with a scan-to-cook feature that allows you to scan a food item on your phone and the microwave will automatically know how long to cook the item.
An affordable choice from the company is the GE Countertop Microwave Oven. This product comes in multiple colors and costs far less than even the cheapest option from Samsung.
Should you get a Samsung or GE microwave?
If you are looking for an affordable, basic microwave, GE has several options that offer all of the necessary functions at a much lower price than Samsung.
However, with its combination of technology and power, Samsung is the superior choice. The company supports a line of 1000 watt microwaves that come with more integrated technology that drastically improves the overall cooking experience.

Southern Railway staff told to hoist Tricolour at home on August 15
The tricolour is usually unfurled on Independence Day by the general managers of the SR and the ICF and divisional railway managers.
Published: 17th July 2022 05:46 AM | Last Updated: 17th July 2022 05:46 AM | A+A A-
CHENNAI: Close to one lakh employees and officials of the Southern Railway (SR), ICF, and other railway branches have been asked to hoist the national flag in their houses on August 15 as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, a series of events to celebrate the 75th anniversary of India’s Independence. The programme — Har Ghar Tiranga (tricolour at every door) — is an initiative of the Union Home Ministry.
Though a senior SR official said the exercise was voluntary, a May 22 directive issued to SR and other zones by Vinay Kumar Tripathi, chairman and CEO, Railway Board, asked officials to ensure 100% participation of employees in the event. In Chennai alone, there are about 14,000 houses on railway premises.
“…railway employees are requested to convey this to their friends and relatives to maximize the hoisting of the Indian National Flag,” said another order by the Railway Board.Officials said all employees, including group C and D staff, would be encouraged to hoist the flag. “The national flags may be purchased from the website of Har Ghar Tiranga,” said an official quoting the directive.
The tricolour is usually unfurled on Independence Day by the general managers of the SR and the ICF and divisional railway managers. This is the first time other employees of the Railways have been asked to hoist the national flag in their houses.
R Elangovan, former vice president of Dakshin Railways Employees Union (DREU), said everyone should unfurl the national flag to remind them of their responsibility to protect the spirit of the Constitution. “The present regime at the Centre has weakened the institutions created to safeguard people’s rights,” he said, adding that the employees should not be compelled to participate in the exercise under the pretext of proving their patriotism.The SR has also been told to promote the programme. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2022/jul/17/southern-railwaystaff-told-to-hoist-tricolour-at-home-on-august-15-2477444.html | 2022-07-18T01:12:30Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2022/jul/17/southern-railwaystaff-told-to-hoist-tricolour-at-home-on-august-15-2477444.html | true | 1 |

Matthew Knies Hopeful to Join Maple Leafs Next Season After College Run
When Nick Abruzzese signed with the Maple Leafs, he was asked about his thoughts on fellow Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Team USA Olympic teammate Matthew Knies.
“He’s three years younger than me, but he makes me look like a boy,” Abruzzese said in March.
And while the 23-year-old Abruzzese leaped at the opportunity to join the Maple Leafs last season after his college season at Harvard University concluded, Knies, the Leafs 2021 second-round draft pick (57th overall), struggled with the decision before he ultimately chose to commit to the University of Minnesota for one more season.
“I just needed one more year to be a better player,” Knies said after his first day at Maple Leafs development camp on Sunday. “I know it’s a big step to make it to the NHL, so I’m trying to make it a much smoother transition.”
Last April, his Golden Gophers were eliminated in the semifinals of the NCAA Frozen Four tournament and that left the Arizona-born hockey player with a decision to make.
That’s when the courting process from the Maple Leafs began.
Knies heard from friends and family who got into his ear about what he should do. Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas presented Knies with the opportunity to make a big impact on a club ready to embark on another playoff run.
But there was reassurance that whatever Knies decided, the Maple Leafs were on board.
“He made me feel comfortable and part of the Leafs family,” Knies said of Dubas. “They wanted me to become the best player that I can, so they left that decision up to me. They were really professional about it and really helpful.”
Knies received some words of wisdom from Auston Matthews. The fellow Arizona native reached out to Knies during the decision process and once again at the end of the season.

“Just be patient and make sure you’re ready for the jump,” Knies said of the advice from the NHL’s Hart Trophy winner. “Be patient, work on your skills and develop yourself and make sure you’re ready for the next step.”
With the Maple Leafs continuing to construct their roster for next season, a player like Knies could fit in well as a late-season addition and certainly would add to their depth up front.
That what Knies is hoping for.
“I think I’m going to develop a lot next year and hopefully I can join (the Maple Leafs) again this season,” he said.
The 19-year-old stood out as the most NHL-ready of the 44 players invited to development camp. Before he can get that opportunity again, he has to continue to evolve his game. Listed at 6’3 and 210 points, Knies is a physical presence on the ice and he has a good shot. But like any camp, the Leafs are looking for Knies to show signs of taking it one step further.
“He needs to continue to work on his skating and his mobility,” Maple Leafs assistant general manager Hayley Wickenheiser said. “Every time he’s on the ice (he needs to) make and impact on the game in key moments.”
Knies is taking everything in. He rarely, if at all, lost a one-on-one battle during Sunday’s on-ice session with other prospects.
His first visit to Toronto since he was kid playing in tournaments, Knies intend to take what he can get during his stay.
“The message at camp here is to be a thief, taking things from players” Knies said. “When you see someone doing something good, you take it and apply it to your game.
“That’s what I’m trying to do here is taking all the information in and add it to make sure I’m a better player.” | https://www.si.com/nhl/maple-leafs/prospects/matthew-knies-hopeful-to-join-maple-leafs-next-season-after-college-run | 2022-07-18T01:17:33Z | https://www.si.com/nhl/maple-leafs/prospects/matthew-knies-hopeful-to-join-maple-leafs-next-season-after-college-run | true | 1 |
The Mets have selected Williams with the 14th overall pick in the 2022 first-year player draft.
He only stands 5-foot-8, but Williams has been the best prep hitter in Texas and one of the best hitters in the nation, with scouts bullish on his offensive upside despite his undersized frame. Williams has strength where it counts, in his forearms and lower body, and he generates plus bat speed which translates into much more power than one would expect from an 18-year-old his size. He is also a plus runner, so Williams checks all of the boxes fantasy managers are looking for, if they can get past his stature. Defensively, he will either end up in center field (his natural position) or shortstop, where he has seen time recently, although he lacks a true rifle of an arm typically associated with the position. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/mets-jett-williams-goes-to-mets-with-14th-pick/ | 2022-07-18T01:19:56Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/mets-jett-williams-goes-to-mets-with-14th-pick/ | false | 1 |
Two people were killed in a shooting on Sunday evening at a mall in Greenwood, Indiana, and multiple other people were taken to hospital with injuries, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police said.
Officers were called shortly before 6pm to Greenwood Park Mall, where gunshots were reportedly fired in the food court, assistant chief of police Chris Bailey said at a news conference.
There is no active threat to the area and police have at least one suspect, he said.
Authorities are searching the mall for any other victims, but Mr Bailey said he believes the shooting was contained to the food court.
“We are sickened by yet another type of incident like this in our country,” he said.
He did not immediately know if the suspect was shot.
Mr Bailey said police will provide more details on Sunday night | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/two-killed-and-multiple-injured-in-shooting-at-indiana-mall-police-say-41847207.html | 2022-07-18T01:28:50Z | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/two-killed-and-multiple-injured-in-shooting-at-indiana-mall-police-say-41847207.html | true | null |
SHEFFIELD, England (AP) — Defending champion the Netherlands needed a late surge to beat Switzerland 4-1 and guarantee a place in the European Championship quarterfinals on Sunday, while Sweden qualified with ease in a 5-0 win over Portugal.
Still missing star forward Vivianne Miedema, who tested positive for the coronavirus, the Dutch team was held at 1-1 until the 84th minute when Romée Leuchter sent a looping header high over onrushing goalkeeper Gaëlle Thalman, who had made a string of impressive saves up to that point.
Victoria Pelova made it 3-1 in the 89th minute — but only after a long VAR check for offside — and Leuchter got her second and the team’s fourth in added time.
Needing a draw to qualify, the Dutch performance was less convincing than the eventual three-goal margin suggested. It wasn’t enough to secure first place in Group C — which went to Sweden — so the Netherlands must next face France in the quarterfinals.
For most of the game it resembled a repeat of the tight 3-2 win over Portugal on Wednesday, when the Dutch struggled to keep control of a game they were clear favorites to win.
After a goalless first half notable mostly for video review overturning a penalty for the Netherlands, the Dutch team took the lead in the 49th minute when Swiss midfielder Ana-Maria Crnogorčević tried to head the ball off the line but instead deflected it into her own net. The Swiss response was almost immediate, Géraldine Reuteler scoring off a pass from Ramona Bachmann.
The Swiss could have qualified with an upset win and nearly took the lead soon after Reuteler’s goal, but Coumba Sow fired one shot at the goalkeeper and then a second attempt against the post.
Sweden qualified top of the group after two goals just before halftime took the fight out of Portugal.
Filippa Angeldal opened the scoring in the 21st and made it 2-0 in the 45th before an own-goal for the third as the ball deflected in off Carole Costa’s head at a corner.
Captain Kosovare Asllani scored a 54th-minute penalty and Stina Blackstenius further extended Sweden’s lead in stoppage time.

Adam Silver ‘hopeful’ NBA will change age the limit back to 18
Adam Silver wants the NBA to lower its age limit.
The league commissioner, speaking Tuesday night from the Summer League in Las Vegas, said he’s “hopeful” that the current age limit will be changed during the next collective bargaining agreement.
That, he said, is “the right thing to do.”
"I think there's an opportunity [to change it]," Silver said. "It's [based on] a larger conversations than just whether we go from 19 to 18, but I'm on record. When I balance all of these various considerations, I think that would be the right thing to do and I am hopeful that that's a change we make in this next collective bargaining cycle, which will happen in the next couple years."
The NBA first changed its age limit from 18 to 19 back in 2005 — something that stopped players from being able to jump to the league straight out of high school. Amir Johnson, who was drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the No. 56 overall pick that year, was the last player to be selected out of high school. Plenty of other Hall of Famers, or future Hall of Famers, have followed that path, too, including Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwight Howard, to name a few.
Now, though, players have to spend at least a year out of high school before entering the NBA draft. That’s undoubtedly changed the college game, and more recently resulted in players opting to play professionally overseas or in the G League instead.
Silver, who was appointed commissioner of the league in 2014, said he actually wanted to increase the age limit to 20 in recent years. Now, however, he feels differently.
"It may be the case that it's in all of our interests that we start impacting with these young players," Silver said via ESPN, "especially because in our sport they are identified at such a young age and begin working with them on their development then, not just basketball skills but increasingly there's a focus on their mental health, their diets, just helping them build character and all of the important values around the sport."
There is no timeline for such a change. The NBA and the players association have started talks ahead of a potential move to opt out of the current CBA. If the two sides opt out later this year, the current CBA would expire next summer.

Where the Crawdads Sing tells the fictional story of Kya, a girl left to raise herself along a North Carolina bayou in the 1950's and 60's. "The marsh girl," as she's known, is reviled and shunned by those in the nearby town. In time, Kya is put on trial for murder. Now, there's a film adapted from the novel by an author with a mysterious past.
It took wildlife scientist Delia Owens a decade to write Where the Crawdads Sing. Her first novel has now been on the New York Times best seller list for 168 weeks (most of that time at the top). Actress Reese Witherspoon loved it so much, she added it to her popular book club and produced the new film adaptation.
"It just blew me away," Witherspoon told CBS Sunday Morning. "It felt like when I was reading To Kill A Mockingbird or just any sort of classic Southern literature. She layers on this thriller element, there's a murder..."
And murder... a real life murder in the mid 1990's... is the big elephant in the room. With the film's release, news has resurfaced that 73 year old Owens is still wanted for questioning by Zambian authorities as a possible witness, co- conspirator and accessory to federal crimes. At the time, she and her then- husband Mark were living in Zambia as animal conservationists, trying to save elephants from poachers.
Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg first wrote about this for The New Yorker in 2010, and more recently, The Atlantic magazine, where he's now editor in chief. His reporting suggests the Owens set up a brutal operation to go after anyone who was a threat to the elephant reserve. In fact, an ABC news crew documenting the Owens's work in 1995 actually captured the execution of a suspected poacher.
"The bodies of the poachers are often left where they fall, for the animals to eat," narrator Meredith Viera said on the show Turning Point. "Conservation. Morality. Africa."
You can hear the gunshots, but the shooter of the unidentified man was never seen on camera, a body was never found, and no one has been formally charged with a crime. According to Jeffrey Goldberg, some witnesses reportedly implicated Mark Owens and his son Christopher. But the journalist says their attorneys have issued statements of denial in the killing. He quoted Delia Owens saying she had nothing to do with it.
For months, the movie's publicists have told me the author is not available to comment. So the news continues to hang over the film like Spanish moss over a murky bayou.
Taylor Swift wrote and sang on the film's soundtrack, saying on Instagram, she wanted "to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerizing story." But she's faced social media backlash for her involvement in the film. In an interview, the director and star of the movie both told me they didn't know anything about this part of Delia Owens' past, though they did say she has a cameo in the film.
Instead, they talked up how the isolation and resilience of Where the Crawdads Sing resonated with readers, especially when the coronavirus pandemic left many feeling alone.
"There's this great murder mystery that keeps you turning the pages," director Olivia Newman said. "There's this survivalist tale and this observation of nature which is so gorgeously articulated by a scientist. There's this epic romance that provides a certain escape from some of the harsher realities of our lives And so I think especially during a pandemic it was so wonderful to be immersed in that world and that was the hope for the movie. That was the hope for the movie was to create that same sort of world that you didn't want to leave."
British actress Daisy Edgar-Jones, who plays Kya in the film, said she met with author Delia Owens when they shot on location in the marshlands around New Orleans.
"To actually film in these amazing sort of bayous and marshes with the Spanish moss and the sound of cicadas, oh, it was just absolutely magical," she said. "We had crazy thunder and lightening storms, and at one point the set flooded. We had alligators along the banks and snake wranglers. And it was just like it had been taken from my imagination."
Edgar-Jones says Delia Owens encouraged her to enjoy herself in portraying the main character.
"Kya's a very complex character," she said. "She is very sort of strong and and resilient. But she's also a very curious and gentle creature. And I think that kind of mixture of things was something I found very interesting about her, because she's complicated like so many of us are."
Early reviews of Where the Crawdads Sing have been mixed. It remains to be seen whether questions about the author will overshadow the film.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. — A state that ranks the highest when it comes to having the largest mount of water also leads the nation with the highest amount of children drownings.
According to Florida Department of Children and Families, Florida loses more children under the age of 5 to drowning than any other state.
"With our in-laws living on the water, we….we… we’re not afraid that something is going to happen but this certainly makes us less afraid," said Lukas Welling, a father of two young boys. "With our in-laws living on the water near one of the Cape Coral canals, we wanted to make sure that our boys have the skills that they need if they were put into a situation—a dangerous situation they would be able to get out of it. And we would be less concerned."
That concern is what many parents are faced with when taking their child out on the water. However, to settle that uneasiness, the CDC stated that swim lessons and water safety knowledge is the number one way to prevent child drowning.
Christina Walch who us a swim instructor and lifeguard instructor told Fox 4 that many parents who have children who attend her class usually have the same concerns.
"Having the fear of like ‘oh no, what if something happens. What if they don’t put a life jacket on, what if they fall in?," Walch explained. "When you teach them how to swim, it’s just one more thing you are preventing and you can check off your list to keep them safe. Also, you don’t know what they are going to do at a friend’s house. So you should always have them prepared.”
Walch added that swim lessons are more than just showing children how to swim while having fun.
"They are learning how to put a life jacket on, how to help their friends if they are drowning, how to call 911, how to tread water," Walch said.
Walch also said if a person sees someone drowning, to "reach or throw, don't go." Meaning, instead of jumping in the water, use a tube, pool noodle, or a towel to pull them back in. She said if a person jumps in they are putting their life at risk of drowning as well.
Here is a list of a few swim classes across Southwest Florida: | https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/florida-leads-in-child-drownings-here-are-some-resources-for-swim-lessons | 2022-07-18T01:46:38Z | https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/florida-leads-in-child-drownings-here-are-some-resources-for-swim-lessons | false | 1 |

Dr. Julia Vaizer, an an assistant professor of clinical emergency medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine, will become the first female medical chief for IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway when she takes over next season.
Vaizer has spent the past year assisting Dr. Geoffrey Billows, the series’ longtime medical director, who announced during the driver’s meeting for Sunday’s race in Toronto that he will be stepping down.
Billows has been undergoing treatment for parotid salivary cancer since November 2020 and wants to spend more time with his family. He plans to help Vaizer in a part-time capacity as he continues treatment.
”Dr. Billows and Dr. Vaizer have been working very closely together over the last few years, so we know this will be a seamless transition,” said Indianapolis Motor Speedway president J. Douglas Boles. ”We look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Vaizer as she trailblazes into her new leadership position as IndyCar’s first female medical director.”
Vaizer graduated from the University of Florida in 2011 and earned her medical degree from the University of Central Florida in 2016. She did emergency residency training at Detroit Receiving Hospital in 2019 and became the first graduate of the IU School of Medicine’s motorsports fellowship in July 2021.
She began her work with IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2018 during an elective training program.
”Dr. Billows has been a friend, a mentor, a teacher and like family to me,” Vaizer said. ”It’s a huge honor to be chosen to carry on his legacy. It fills me with inspiration. I know I will work really hard to continue doing what he established as one of the most successful medical teams in the world of motorsports. I cannot wait for the next chapter and see how we can continue to improve the field of motorsports medicine for the next generation to come.”
Billow began his career at Indianapolis Motor Speedway during his residency in 1993, when he would volunteer at the IU Health Emergency Medical Center in the infield during race weeks. He later served as an IndyCar team physician and rose to the speedway’s medical director in 2006; he added the job of IndyCar’s medical director in 2016.
All the while, Billows has served as an assistant professor of clinical emergency medicine at the IU School of Medicine.
”It’s no secret the last 20 months have been quite challenging for me,” he said. ”I thought, `I should enjoy whatever time I have left.’ But I’m staying on so I can help part time because I enjoy it so much. The opportunity to work with IndyCar and IMS has been an opportunity of a lifetime. It’s been a career unlike none other. It’s quite rewarding. It not only gives me a chance to help take care of the drivers but to also have the chance to promote safety in the motorsports industry.”

Specialist police units targeting organised crime, domestic violence and terrorism will receive a personnel boost as NSW Police adds another 550 positions over the coming financial year.
The biggest boost will go to State Crime Command for targeting organised crime and gang warfare, with 11 new places added to the Organised Crime Squad and another 30 to Raptor Squad – which was already boosted by 30 officers in May following the shooting of gangland figure Mahmoud “Browni” Ahmad.
Counter-terrorism and Special Tactics will receive 19 new positions – nine for the Rescue and Bomb Disposal Unit and 10 for the Tactical Operations Group.
Fifteen officers will be added to the High Risk Domestic Violence Team to proactively target and investigate high-risk domestic violence offenders. Rural crime investigators will receive 10 new positions to investigate stock and equipment theft on farms. General duties police will all be added to the intake.
Another 35 officers, including 20 training positions, will go to police prosecutions in a bid to improve the conviction rate.
The latest boost delivers on the NSW Government’s 2018 commitment of 1500 new police over a four-year period, the biggest single increase in police numbers across NSW in more than 30 years.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Police Paul Toole said the extra police “mean more proactive policing, more foot patrols, more visibility of police in high-risk areas, more support for victims and more time to investigate crime.
“An effective police force requires the support and resources to stay ahead of the game and disrupt crimes before they occur.”

Paul Casey: LIV golfers considering Asian Tour starts to maintain world ranking and major status
Paul Casey among players committed to the LIV Golf Invitational Series and will make his debut in the next event, taking place in New Jersey from July 29-31; Saudi-backed circuit currently does not have world ranking points on offer
By Ali Stafford at St Andrews
Last Updated: 17/07/22 4:11pm
Paul Casey has admitted LIV Golf members are considering competing on the Asian Tour in an attempt to maintain their world ranking and qualify for future majors.
The lack of world ranking points currently on offer on the Greg Norman-fronted tour means players are in danger of quickly falling down the standings, jeopardising potential eligibility of playing in majors going forward for those not already holding an exemption.
Players who joined the Saudi-backed circuit are suspended indefinitely by the PGA Tour, while the DP World Tour issued £100,000 fines for those competing in the opening event of the inaugural season, leaving limited playing opportunities for LIV Golf members outside their own events.
"There's talk about guys sort of playing a couple [of Asian Tour events]," Casey said after his final round at The Open. "I don't even know the schedule. I'm sorry, whether they go play something before Bangkok to get ready, or the break in August.
"The next one is in Bedminster. Then I think there's a break before it's Boston or Chicago - I get my dates mixed up. Do they go play to be a bit sharper? There's a lot of discussion, a lot of WhatsApp chat group feeds going around. I'm not part of most of them.
"I think the discussion was if guys turn up en masse, then it lifts the world ranking points. So if they're going to go play an Asian Tour event, they all go together."
Casey is in danger of sliding down the world rankings after missing four months of the season through injury, shortly before announcing his move to the LIV Golf tour, with the 44-year-old happy to take the risk with regards to his possible major future.
"I was fully aware of what might be, of the possibility of not playing majors," Casey said. "It's an interesting question for the younger guys. Myself, I mean, I'm hanging on in the world rankings.
"I don't know what guys are going to do. I think there's the option of playing some Asian Tour events. We're going to see what happens with the DP World Tour. But I was under no illusions that my ranking could slide and be out within however long, whatever the timeframe is.
"It was more incentive to play well this week as well to try and get points. I did my due diligence, put it that way."
Casey and Ian Poulter have admitted their Open appearances this week could be their last at St Andrews, given both their age and the hostility within golf's leading tours, with fellow LIV golfer Sergio Garcia also expecting it to be a struggle to remain exempt in the future.
"Probably tough, and the way everyone is reacting to us, probably even tougher," Garcia about featuring in a future major at St Andrews. "It is what it is - things come to an end. It's the way it is.
"Obviously a little bit of disappointment [never to win] because I've been close and I love this championship and these crowds very much. Sometimes you don't get what you want or what you wish."
Former world No 1 Lee Westwood has played in every edition of The Open since making his debut at St Andrews in 1995, with the 49-year-old still hopeful of featuring in future editions.
"I think it's a shame we're not focusing on, well, to me, the biggest event of the year," Westwood said. "The Open Championship deserves to be centre stage this week and St Andrews.
"I've been trying to soak it all in for the last six, seven years. I'm 50 next April. All these major championships and big events are a bonus, really, when you get to my age. It's a big enough tournament that I would try and qualify, for sure."
What next for the LIV Golf Invitational Series?
Trump National Golf Club Bedminster hosts the next event from July 29-31 and a further tournament takes place in Boston from September 2-4, the week after the PGA Tour's season-ending Tour Championship.
Rich Harvest Farms in Chicago is the venue for the fifth event, taking place from September 16-18, while Stonehill Golf Club in Bangkok is the venue from October 7-9 and Royal Greens Golf Club - the site of the Saudi International in recent years - hosts the following week.
The season-ending Team Championship will be held at Trump National Doral Miami from October 27-30. LIV Golf then plans to have 10 events in its 2023 calendar before expanding to 14 tournaments from 2024, although dates and locations for those have not yet been confirmed. | https://www.skysports.com/golf/news/12176/12653714/paul-casey-liv-golfers-considering-asian-tour-starts-to-maintain-world-ranking-and-major-status | 2022-07-18T02:01:58Z | https://www.skysports.com/golf/news/12176/12653714/paul-casey-liv-golfers-considering-asian-tour-starts-to-maintain-world-ranking-and-major-status | false | 1 |

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Going grocery shopping takes on a different meaning for many in Buffalo these days, especially people living near the Tops Market on Jefferson Avenue.
On Sunday, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown took off his tie and took a local veteran grocery shopping.
The City of Buffalo provided pictures of the mayor shopping with an Army veteran and senior citizen inside the store, which has been remodeled after a mass shooting on May 14, where 10 people were killed and three more wounded.
Patrick White used to shop at this location four to five times a week before the massacre. 2 On Your Side talked to him and the mayor about the experience on Sunday afternoon.
"I have to catch the bus to the store, so this store right here is very important to us," White said. "Some people take it for granted. 'Well, I got a car, I'll just go on so and so and shop.' But for some of us, it's mandatory, and this is excellent, and I am so proud we're back together. Look at this. You can't beat it with a hammer."
Mayor Brown explained why he wanted to take a senior citizen shopping.
"In honor and memory of the victims of the shooting, many of them were seniors, a lot of seniors shop here. And while we don't want to live in tragedy, we have to move forward. We should never ever forget the precious lives that were lost here, and I wanted to do something for one of our seniors in the community."
The Tops store motto is "Jefferson Strong." While many people have returned, there is a contingent that did not and may not.
"Walking through the store today, it was like I was in a different place. I was looking at the ceiling and looking around, and it was just a beautiful experience," White said.

Opinion
Why the Dragons must go all-in on Cameron Ciraldo
Andrew Webster
Chief Sports WriterOn Wednesday night, the St George District Rugby League Football Club will announce its Team of the Century, and you suspect inductees must be either a god or an Immortal to make the cut, such is the Red V’s storied history.
One name that won’t appear on the team sheet, though, is the man responsible for most it: club secretary Frank Facer.
Otherwise known as “Fearless”, Facer was a shrewd negotiator and strategist, enticing generations of future superstars to the club in the 1950s and ’60s as first grade went on a run of 11 premierships.
Whether it was dropping just the right words in a bar to a young Graeme Langlands or securing winger Eddie Lumsden in a closed Hunter Valley pub on a Sunday morning, Facer was often one step ahead of his rivals.
It’s time for St George Illawarra powerbrokers to work at a similar pace and go after Cameron Ciraldo.
Do it before the Bulldogs snap him up. Do it before the hole the Dragons are digging for themselves gets deeper and wider.
As reported by Herald colleague Michael Chammas, the board will discuss coach Anthony Griffin’s future at a meeting on Tuesday. Never a good sign.
They won’t sack him, nor should they. The Dragons are 11th on the ladder, two points out of the top eight. Titans coach Justin Holbrook seems to be struggling as much as Griffin.
But it must be disappointing to be discussing the coach’s future in mid-July with so much football left to play.
The board extended Griffin’s deal in February for 2023, to head off the type of endless speculation reserved for Wests Tigers coaches.
In fairness, the Dragons had been playing reasonable football but second-half face plants against the Broncos and Roosters mean the chatter about Griffin’s future is getting louder.
Familiar complaints about him losing the confidence of some players have been around for some time. Just as it was during his time at the Broncos and Panthers, life can get frosty if you aren’t in Griffin’s inner circle.
Consecutive defeats have amplified that talk, and it’s reflected in how they often play: looking like good things one minute (think Zac Lomax dancing around defenders) and plodders the next (think Zac Lomax giving away penalties or missing tackles or doing something so very Zac Lomax-ish).
It’s frustrating because they could be everything or nothing — the Dragons and Zac Lomax.
You look at the speed of Cody Ramsey; the raw, unrefined skill of Talatau Amone; the throwback qualities of Blake Lawrie; the contained fury of Jack de Belin, and you think this team is a top-eight lock.
Then they flame out and either lose the match or just fall over the line against inferior opposition.
Time for action. Time for the Dragons board to channel its inner-Facer and go after Ciraldo.
Whether CEO Ryan Webb has it in him is debatable. But board member Peter Doust pulled off a stunning coup when he signed Wayne Bennett in 2009 and went painfully close to doing it again in 2015 before Bennett backflipped.
Clubs have been all over Ciraldo, the Panthers assistant, like an open house on a Saturday morning. The Tigers were so keen on him they visited twice, offered way over the reserve, and still couldn’t seal the deal.
Ciraldo has politely declined all offers, safe in the knowledge he has a job at the Panthers for as long as he wants while making sure he accepts the right offer. The game is quickly becoming a graveyard of unwanted assistant coaches, and he’s not in a hurry to join them.
He’s told those close to him, however, he likes the look of the Dragons because of the potential of their juniors.
If anyone understands this better than most, it’s Ciraldo. He’s nurtured the best young talent in the Panthers system since 2014.
The question the Dragons board must ask itself is how far do they think Griffin can take them from next year onwards — and how far could they go under Ciraldo?
A veteran coach whose team appears to be, at best, paddling — or the next big thing who has served a long apprenticeship?
In truth, Ciraldo is the man the Dragons have wanted all along.
When the Dragons parted ways with Paul McGregor two years ago, one of the first coaches they went after was Ciraldo.
He knocked them back, saying he wasn’t ready. The club fumbled around in the dark and, at a Tuesday board meeting, made one last play for Paul Green, who had been released by the Cowboys.
He wasn’t interested, so the club appointed Griffin. Now, the window is open again, if ever so slightly, to get Ciraldo.
I wonder what “Fearless” Frank Facer would do.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees say police are investigating after what appeared to be a drone was spotted flying above right field at Yankee Stadium on Saturday night.
NJ.com published video of a flashing green light hovering above the outfield bleacher seats, saying it was a drone that floated above the park for about 15 minutes during the Yankees’ 14-1 win over the rival Boston Red Sox.
The Yankees said they were aware of the report and that NYPD was investigating.
The Federal Aviation Administration bans unmanned aircrafts from flying over stadiums while games are in progress, but several games in recent seasons have been interrupted by drones, including five during the 2020 season when fans were barred from stadiums as a coronavirus safety measure.

Mangochi, July 17, Mana: President Lazarus Chakwera has called on Malawians not to tire, but continue working hard to develop the country.
Chakwera made the appeal in Mangochi on Sunday during a church service he attended at Mangochi Assemblies of God Faith Temple where he called on the faithful to a call of service to the country.
“We only have one country regardless of our creed or race, as such; let us work hard so that one day we will leave a good legacy behind.
“Do not tire in doing good work. I urge you to always pray for me and our country,” said Chakwera.
He then asked the congregation to guard their relationship with God, saying at the end of the day, people will be accountable for the life they lived on earth.
“We at times fight for various positions. However, let us be mindful that there is One who is great and He alone deserves glory and honour,” said the President.
The Head of State then commended Mangochi Assemblies of God Church for its growth and various development activities taking place at the church.
In his sermon drawn from Luke Chapter 13 verses from 22 to 34, Eastern Region Division Director, Jimmy Mbwana, called on the faithful to work hard in developing the country and for their salvation.
“Everything here on earth is temporal, however, it is personal responsibility that will guarantee one’s ability to enter heaven, so I urge you all to guard your salvation with diligence for failure to enter heaven is an automatic passage to hell where one will live in eternal condemnation,” said Mbwana.
Before the church service, the President who was accompanied by the First Lady Madame Monica Chakwera, toured the church premises, including the new church building project. To that end, the President donated K1 million towards the church building project. | https://www.malawivoice.com/2022/07/17/do-not-tire-in-doing-good-chakwera/ | 2022-07-18T02:32:22Z | https://www.malawivoice.com/2022/07/17/do-not-tire-in-doing-good-chakwera/ | false | 2 |
Presidential polls: Droupadi Murmu has easy edge over Yashwant Sinha| Top 10
India’s 15th president is set to be elected on Monday, and Droupadi Murmu, backed by the ruling National Democratic Alliance, seems to be headed for a comfortable win with numbers in her favour. Challenging her is the opposition’s pick - Yashwant Sinha - who had quit the BJP in 2018. Murmu, if elected, would be India’s first tribal woman president. Meanwhile, the presidential polls had galvanised the opposition over the last one month as they finally picked former union minister Sinha. A day before the presidential polls, Sinha urged for support in an appeal to parliamentarians and legislators.
Here are ten points on presidential elections in India:
1. Droupadi Murmu, who has served as the Jharkhand governor earlier, has got support from unlikely quarters over the past one month since her candidature was announced. Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, despite the fall of Maharashtra government and differences with the BJP, has said it would back Murmu.
2. Soon after her candidature was announced, the BJD (which has 31,686 of 1086431 votes in electoral college), the YSRCP (with 45,550 votes) and the AIADMK (14,940) had announced their support for her, making it easy for Murmu to edge past Sinha.
3. With the NDA having 49 per cent or 5,32,351 of the 1086431 votes, support from a few quarters too would have been enough for Murmu.
4. Last week, Congress ally Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) became the latest non-NDA ally to announce it would vote for Murmu in the 2022 presidential elections.
5. Meanwhile, Yashwant Sinha made a fervent appeal to lawmakers a day before the presidential elections. "This election is your last chance to introduce much-needed course correction in the BJP," he told lawmakers from the BJP.
6. "My rival, again make no mistake, will be under the control of those whose aim is to convert democratic India into an imitator of Communist China - 'One nation, one party, one supreme leader'," he said, calling for stopping this in his appeal,” Sinha further alleged in an attack on his rival.
7. Sinha, who was with Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congrees, was picked as opposition’s candidate after Farooq Abdullah, Sharad Pawar and Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson, Gopakrishna Gandhi, refused to run for the post.
8. Both the candidates had a show of strength when they filed their nominations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top leaders were with Murmu at the time.
9. The presidential elections come on a day when the monsoon session of parliament is headed for a stormy start.
10. President Ram Nath Kovind’s tenure comes to an end on July 24. The results will be announced on July 21. The 15th president of India will take oath on July 25.

PARIS (AP) — Firefighters battled wildfires raging out of control in France and Spain as Europe wilted under an unusually extreme heat wave that authorities in Madrid blamed for hundreds of deaths. Two huge blazes that have consumed pine forests for six days in southwestern France have forced the evacuation of some 14,000 people. Authorities have shut down access to Europe’s tallest sand dune. Water-dropping planes zig-zagged the area, as flames lapped at the edge of a farm field, and smoke blanketed the skyline above a mass of singed trees. In Spain, firefighters supported by military brigades tried Sunday to stamp out over 30 fires consuming forests spread across the country. | https://gorgenewscenter.com/2022/07/17/fires-scorch-france-and-spain-as-europe-wilts-in-heat-wave/ | 2022-07-18T02:45:50Z | https://gorgenewscenter.com/2022/07/17/fires-scorch-france-and-spain-as-europe-wilts-in-heat-wave/ | false | null |

A flashy Summer League stint may not be enough for Mac McClung to find a spot on the Golden State Warriors‘ roster this upcoming season, an insider predicts.
The former Texas Tech and G League standout showed flashes of strong play through the Las Vegas showcase, turning in a series of highlight reel plays and connecting with some of the Warriors’ other young stars. But Madeline Kenney of the Mercury News predicted that it won’t be enough for McClung to supplant some of the team’s other promising young stars and earn a spot on the 15-man roster for the coming season.

McClung Earns Praise
While the big story of Golden State’s Summer League season was the long-awaited return of big man James Wiseman, McClung caught attention with his highlight-reel passes. In the team’s July 17 finale, McClung grabbed some viral attention with a behind-the-back pass that led to a Wiseman dunk.
Through four games, McClung averaged 13.3 points while making 50 percent of his three-pointers. Warriors assistant coach Jama Mahlalela, who is leading the Summer League squad, shared some praise for McClung earlier in the week but did not commit to whether he would have a future with the Warriors.
“He’s been exciting, right?” Jama Mahlalela said on July 11, via the Mercury News. “You saw his performance [Sunday], his ability to get to the hoop. We didn’t know he could do that at that high level… If he can become elite as a shooter then you add that to his penetration then you’re looking at NBA talent, but his competitiveness for sure is at an NBA level, his care factor. We’re excited and if we can help propel his career in any way possible, that’s a great honor for us.”
Kenney predicted it would be “highly unlikely” that McClung stays with the Warriors, especially since the team is expected to keep a spot on the roster for rookie Ryan Rollins. McClung was a Summer Leauge fill-in for Rollins, who was sidelined after the team discovered a fracture in his foot during his first physical with the team.
Big Plans for Rollins
Despite the injury, Rollins is still expected to play heavily into the team’s plans for the upcoming season. The Athletic’s Anthony Slater noted that the Warriors signed guard Donte DiVincenzo for less than the full taxpayer midlevel exception, helping leave roughly $2 million to work on a deal for Rollins.
“They still have plans on rostering second-round pick Ryan Rollins, a combo guard, and need a chunk of that mid-level to sign him to a multi-year deal,” Slater noted.
Rollins is still expected to be back in time for the team’s training camp. Dr. Nirav Pandya, an injury analyst for 95.7 The Game, noted that the kind of fracture he suffered usually comes with a recovery time measured in weeks rather than months.
“Tough injury for Ryan Rollins,” he tweeted. “These injuries typically take 10-14 weeks before returning to play. If treated surgically, it can be even longer. Re-fracture is a concern as well. The good news is that once healed, there is typically minimal impact on performance.”

Holocaust survivors mark 80 years since mass Paris roundup
Family by family, house by house, French police rounded up 13,000 people on two terrifying days in July 1942, dispatching them to Nazi death camps simply because they were Jewish. Eighty years later, France is honoring the victims, and trying to keep their memory alive.
For the dwindling number of survivors of France's wartime crimes, commemoration ceremonies Sunday are especially important. At a time of rising antisemitism and far-right discourse sugarcoating France's role in the Holocaust, they worry that history's lessons are being forgotten.
A week of ceremonies marking 80 years since the Vel d'Hiv police roundup on July 16 to 17, 1942, culminates Sunday with an event led by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The raids were among the most shameful acts undertaken by France during the Second World War, and among the darkest moments in its history.
Over those two days, police herded 13,152 people -- including 4,115 children -- into the Winter Velodrome of Paris, known as the Vel d'Hiv, before they were sent on to Nazi camps. It was the biggest such roundup in western Europe. The children were separated from their families; very few survived.
In public testimonies over the past week, survivor Rachel Jedinak described a middle-of-the-night knock on the door, and being marched through the streets of Paris and herded into the velodrome, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
She recalled her desperate mother shouting at police. Some neighbors informed on Jews, others wept as they watched them corralled like livestock.
Chantal Blaszka's aunts and uncle were among the children rounded up, including six-year-old Simon, nine-year-old Berthe, and 15-year-old Suzanne. Their names are now engraved on a monument at a garden where the velodrome once stood, along with some 4,000 other children targeted in the raids. Photos of the children hang from tree trunks, the result of years of painstaking research to identify and honor the long-anonymous victims.
Of the children deported from the Vel d'Hiv 80 years ago, only six survived.
"Can you imagine?" Blaszka asked, pointing at the names and shaking her head. "Can you imagine?"
Serge Klarsfeld, a renowned Nazi hunter whose father was deported to Auschwitz, spoke Saturday in the garden, calling it an "earth-shaking testimony to the horrors lived by Jewish families."
He stressed the urgency of passing on living memory. "The youngest of us are in our 80s," he said of the children of deportees.
The father of Micheline Tinader was among the 76,000 Jews deported from France under the collaborationist Vichy government. As a child, Tinader herself had to hide from Nazis.
She took part in a commemoration ceremony this week at the Shoah Memorial in the Paris suburb of Drancy, and is part of an association based at the site that organizes educational trips to Auschwitz.
Drancy held a transit centre that was central to French Jews' deadly journey to Nazi camps. Some 63,000 people were held over the course of the war.
The Drancy Shoah memorial actively documents the Holocaust, especially for younger generations. This work is especially important at a time when Jewish communities are increasingly worried about rising antisemitism in Europe. France's Interior Ministry has reported a rise in antisemitic acts in France over recent years, and said that while racist and anti-religious acts overall are increasing, Jews are disproportionately targeted.
Anxiety has worsened for some since the far-right National Rally party made a surprising electoral breakthrough last month, winning a record 89 seats in France's National Assembly. Party co-founder Jean-Marie Le Pen has been convicted of racism and downplaying the Holocaust. His daughter Marine, who now leads the party, has distanced herself from her father's positions, but the party's past still raises concerns for many Jews.
During the campaign for this year's French presidential election, far-right candidate and pundit Eric Zemmour propagated the false claim that Adolf Hitler's Vichy collaborators safeguarded France's Jews.
It took France's leadership 50 years after the Second World War to officially acknowledge the state's involvement in the Holocaust, when then-president Jacques Chirac apologized for the French authorities' role in the Vel d'Hiv raids.
On Sunday, Macron is visiting a site in Pithiviers south of Paris where police sent families after the Vel d'Hiv roundup, before sending them on to camps.
"The policy, from 1942 onward, was to organize the murder of the Jews of Europe and therefore to organize the deportation of the Jews of France," said Jacques Fredj, director of the Paris Shoah Memorial.
"Most of the time, the decisions were made by the Nazis and implemented by the French administration," he said. "But the management was French. (French) Gendarmes or policemen were managing and supervising."

Pride festivals continue throughout Central Ontario
Muskoka Pride kicked off their week-long celebrations with their third annual rainbow road tour Sunday.
"It's something we started during the pandemic when we couldn't hold parades and large-scale events, and we quite enjoyed it, so we're going through a drive around Lake Muskoka," says Muskoka Pride Board Member Shawn Forth.
Around 15 cars took part in the three and half hour tour, driving through 3 municipalities and four towns. It's the first of many events for the week.
"Tomorrow, we're doing flag raisings in all seven municipalities. We have some film festivals happening, three drag shows scheduled," Forth adds.
Forth says they're excited to host in-person events again after holding it virtually the last two years. Muskoka Pride started in 2009 and has grown tremendously ever since.
"It's been amazing as a long-time Muskoka resident to be able to see the celebration of Pride open and visible in our communities," says Forth.
As Muskoka Pride is just getting started, Collingwood Pride wrapped up its first-ever in-person Pride weekend.
It has been in the works since 2019 but was postponed due to the pandemic.
"You could feel the energy and the love that was being shared by everyone and the tears; you could see it in everyone's eyes; it was really moving," says Collingwood Pride Executive Director John Miller.
Miller says they're planning to go even bigger and better next year.
"We're looking to maybe do a 1000-person concert on one of the nights," he says.
But until then, Miller says they're just going to take in the weekend's success.
"The drag queens need to go to bed," Miller jokes.
Muskoka Pride will host events all week long in various towns throughout the region. They will wrap things up with their annual Pride Parade and festival held in Bracebridge next Sunday. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/pride-festivals-continue-throughout-central-ontario-1.18233589 | 2022-07-18T03:12:16Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/pride-festivals-continue-throughout-central-ontario-1.18233589 | true | 1 |
Trash piling up in Chicopee after missed pickups
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – The 22News I-Team has received multiple complaints about trash not being picked up throughout western Massachusetts.
Patti Moylan lives in Parkview Condominiums in Chicopee, she says trash has been piling up and spilling out of the dumpsters at the complex.
East Longmeadow extends transfer station hours after trash pick-up complaints“Last week, it was overflowing. It was actually a health hazard until they finally came on Saturday,” Moylan said. “The first thing when the guy put the forks in and lifted it up was a watermelon full of maggots.”
The dumpsters are owned by Republic Services , a national company with trash and recycling services in 47 states. The 22News I-Team contacted them to see why scheduled pickups are being missed. In a statement, a spokesperson for Republic said “The housing and condos are back on schedule and we look forward to our continued partnership with the town.”

David Brooks: “we’re in some sort of prerevolutionary period”
18 July 2022
.
“I’d like you to consider the possibility that the political changes that have rocked this country over the past six years will be nothing compared with the changes that will rock it over the next six. I’d like you to consider the possibility that we’re in some sort of prerevolutionary period — the kind of moment that often gives birth to something shocking and new.”

Brandon Nigh and Ryan Taylor came through with some timely hits on Sunday night for the Bristol State Liners as they snapped a five-game losing skid with a 9-6 Appalachian League victory over the Pulaski River Turtles.
Nigh, from Oakland University in Michigan, hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the seventh inning and Taylor, a standout at Central Florida, followed with a RBI single.
Sean Smith Jr. (Mississippi Gulf Coast Junior College) smacked a two-run homer in the fifth inning for the State Liners, while Kerry Wright (Houston) was the winning pitcher.

New York Mets select Mississippi State baseball signee Jett Williams in 2022 MLB Draft
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State baseball will have a tough time convincing one of its top signees to come to campus.
Shortstop Jett Williams was selected Sunday by the New York Mets in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft. He was the 14th overall pick.
Williams attended Rockwall-Heath High School in Texas where he has long been a top prospect. In the 2022 class, MLB.com rated him as the No. 21 player.
JOHN COHEN: Mississippi State AD trust Chris Lemonis to right the ship
Perfect Game notes Williams’ talent as a two-way player with a 92 mph fastball, but his bat and defense are what made him a top MLB talent.
Williams received offers from programs such as Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Oregon State, per 247Sports.
Mississippi State has multiple signees who are likely to hear their name called over the three-day MLB Draft.
Pitchers Bradley Loftin (77) and Colby Holcombe (134) were joined by outfielder Dakota Jordan (177) and catcher Ross Highfill (197) in the MLB.com rankings. They all have arrived as summer enrollees in Starkville, but they can depart and sign with MLB organizations.
With Williams’ likely departure, shortstop appears to be Lane Forsythe’s position for another season in Starkville.

Chez Reavie held off a hard-charging Alex Noren to win the Barracuda Championship by one point Sunday in Truckee, Calif.
Reavie posted a six-point round under the event’s modified Stableford scoring system for a four-round total of plus-43. Noren, a PGA Tour vet from Sweden, scored 14 points for the round of the day but came up one short at plus-42.
Double eagles were worth eight points, eagles five points, birdies two points, pars zero points, bogeys minus-one point and double bogeys or worse minus-three points.
Scotland’s Martin Laird placed third at plus-38, Mark Hubbard was fourth at plus-37 and Scott Gutschewski finished fifth at plus-35 at the Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood Course.
Reavie, 40, notched his third career win across three different decades. He won the 2008 RBC Canadian Open and the 2019 Travelers Championship.
Reavie tallied four birdies and two bogeys on the day. His slow-rolling birdie at the par-4 16th put him back in front of Noren, and Noren couldn’t catch him on the final two holes.
Noren had a hot start with six birdies and one bogey on the front nine for an 11-point jump. But he bogeyed No. 10 and added just two more birdies down the stretch.
The alternate event opposite The Open Championship was co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour for the first time. With his victory, Reavie earned a card for both tours through 2024.

Hilltop House's fate a sign of High Desert's vanishing history
In March, the Apple Valley Town Council voted unanimously to demolish the Hilltop House, the abandoned structure that any resident of the High Desert can easily identify.
While the house has fallen into disrepair, many residents are saddened by the imminent demolition because the Hilltop House has not only been ingrained into the mountainside but also the communal memory of desert residents.
The Hilltop House and the adjacent Apple Valley Inn have acted as a refuge to prominent figures, including Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Gene Autry, and Roy Rogers, to name a few.
Famously, it was where Nixon retreated after his defeat in the 1960 Presidential Election and where he would write his best seller, "Six Crises." The Hilltop House’s allure of grandeur was developed by one of the High Desert’s most eccentric personalities, Newton P. Bass.

Firefighters tackle blaze near Hilltop House and Walmart in Apple Valley
Bass, having earned his wealth from real estate and oil drilling, retired at 43 in Apple Valley. Partnering with fellow businessman Bud Westland, Bass founded the Apple Valley Ranchos Land Company in 1943 and bought 6,300 acres of land to develop. Bass built the Hilltop House with Francisco Artegas as the home designer.
Famed for exaggerating, Bass hoped to utilize the house to entice white men and women to purchase land in the city. Quickly, profits arrived with the rich and glamorous of Hollywood and the political world.
Despite its hopes for longevity, the Hilltop House and the Apple Valley Inn would fall into disrepair after Bass’ death in 1983. The inn that once played host to Carey Grant, John Wayne, and Jayne Mansfield now only entertains the tumbleweeds that dangle in the rusted gate surrounding the empty pool.
Marcella “Marcy” Taylor, head of the Apple Valley Legacy Museum, has been inundated with visitors since the City Council voted for demolition.
“We love answering any questions the residents have, and many of those questions are about the demolition,” says Taylor.
With her trademark silver hair that reaches past her shoulders, Taylor poured over the rich history of the Hilltop House. That history includes the house being a site of idyllic desert weddings, rambunctious nights for Hollywood actors, and the 1965 film "Saturday Night Bath."
“It’s a ridiculous little movie, but people here love it because it was filmed at the Hilltop House. There’s a connection there, and the older people love having that,” says Taylor as she displays the historical items with care and a touch of nostalgia.
The presence of a long forgotten age is replete throughout Apple Valley and Victorville. To many outsiders, the desert is a desolate dirt-covered region that, ostensibly, possesses nothing to analyze.
Yet, similar to desert rock strata, the Victor Valley contains, preserved in time and cross-section, social and cultural strands of a regime of memory. Any local can recognize the American Western paradise that was attempted to be fashioned in the city.
From thoroughfares named Rodeo Drive to parks dedicated to Dale Evans and Roy Rogers, the persistent presence of the want to hold onto some strand of the past is persistent.
“Everything is getting knocked down,” Taylor says as she leaves through binders of newspaper clippings that detail the Hilltop House’s story. “People want to have something to hold onto, but whenever something is demolished, it’s like someone dies. There’s mourning because memories are being lost.”
In 2020, the abandoned school campus of Victor Valley High was demolished, much to the chagrin of former students and residents of the High Desert. The campus was built in 1937 and educated a large number of desert residents before it was damaged by a fire in 2018.
The gym was also demolished despite the building being a local historical point of interest. The demolition of historic buildings has been an increasing trend in recent years.
More buildings in the cities of Apple Valley and Victorville are planned for demolition and are being bought by outside developers, Taylor said.
It is not hyperbolic to state that the High Desert is experiencing an identity crisis, she said. The recent demolitions are not just examples of destroying abandoned buildings but the destruction of everything that ties the High Desert to a historical past.
Consequently, the city’s residents have been forced into a historical limbo, a liminal space of modern artificiality, Taylor said.
The work of the Apple Valley Legacy Museum has acted to preserve local history, but such actions need to be bolstered by a civic governmental commitment, Taylor said.
If not, then the memory of the Victor Valley will fade with each generation more quickly than the previous one, Taylor said. | https://www.vvdailypress.com/story/news/2022/07/17/hilltop-houses-fate-sign-high-deserts-vanishing-history/10072004002/ | 2022-07-18T03:30:06Z | https://www.vvdailypress.com/story/news/2022/07/17/hilltop-houses-fate-sign-high-deserts-vanishing-history/10072004002/ | true | 1 |

The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments has announced Monday, July 18, will be an Ozone Action Day throughout Southeast Michigan.
Air quality forecasts show higher levels of ozone, which may cause difficulty breathing among certain individuals.
In order to mitigate the ozone levels, SEMCOG has suggested the following actions:
- Delay mowing your lawn until evening or the next day, to minimize exhaust from your lawnmower and other gas-powered equipment.
- Drive less, telecommute, bike or walk.
- Avoid adding gas to your vehicle during daylight hours. Fumes from the gas pump will contribute to ozone formation.
- Delay or combine errands, to minimize traffic congestion and air pollution.
- Reduce electricity use in your home. Set your thermostat a few degrees higher, and turn off lights, computers, and other devices when not in use.

The start was given for the new program by Ivete Sangalo, “Ivete’s Popcorn”. The Sunday premieres on July 24 on Globo and promises a lot of fun for the public.
Excited about the new project, the singer spoke with Renata Ceribelli and gave a spoiler of what’s to come: pranks, riddles, challenges, lots of music, of course, and chat. More than that, Veveta will also face the competitions together with his guests, famous or anonymous.
“I don’t think people have ever seen me like this with all these facets put into practice. I’m managing to put a little bit of everything, but what I thought was the coolest thing about the program is that it has fun. As we say in Bahia, there is a good ‘esculhambação'”, says Ivete.
“The name of the program is ‘Pipoca’, it says a lot about me. About my story, about carnival, about Sunday. Popcorn comes after the trio. It’s a completely democratic, creative movement. I have fun, sing, dance, I literally play,” she says.
“It’s a program that I left with my muscles ‘everything’ hurting”, he laughs. “Because ‘botox’ doesn’t make us laugh properly. So we laughed so hard that it spilled over to ‘botox'”, he jokes.

“Every day I wake up, I say, ‘Today is the most special day of my life and I go upstairs, and I I’m in my prime’. Everything I do has a ‘I’m debuting, I’m releasing, everything is new’ character. Everything has to be new to me”, comments Veveta.
“I’m going in on Sundays, but I really want to make it everyone’s Monday. I want this Monday for people to come lighter, for us to change the status of this Monday. May Sunday be so special that Monday will arrive soft and delicious in our lives”.

NSW public schools will begin a “four week blitz” to stem the spread of COVID-19 when students return from holidays on Tuesday, with more than 9 million rapid antigen test kits to be distributed.
The NSW Education Department has stopped short of mandating masks, but staff and students will be strongly encouraged to wear them and additional supplies made available to schools.
Individual schools facing high case numbers will be directed to adopt additional “circuit breaker” measures, including stopping large indoor gatherings, excursions and limiting visitors.
The department said students at affected schools could also be directed to work from home for short periods if required.
Students at all schools will be sent home with RAT kits, with more than 9 million to be distributed during the first three weeks of term 3 as part of what the department called a “four-week blitz”. Cleaners at all public schools will increase their day cleaning while students and staff are on-site, focusing on high-touch areas.
The Education Department said significant improvements were continuing over winter to improve air quality and ventilation in schools.
“The settings are similar to last term, but we are being extra vigilant to get the term off to the best start – supporting our staff and students with extra supplies of rapid antigen tests and masks and encouraging them to stay at home if unwell,” NSW Education secretary Georgina Harrisson said.
The new measures come as most unvaccinated teachers and staff, except those working with high-risk students, were allowed to return to work from Monday.
A number of private schools are also strongly encouraging the use of masks, with at least one continuing to enforce a mandate.
Waverley College principal Graham Leddie said his school would continue to ensure hand sanitiser was available, air purifiers used where needed, and windows and doors were kept open.
“We will encourage all our students and staff to wear masks, especially considering how many people have travelled overseas these school holidays, but they will not be made compulsory,” he said.
“The school will be strongly recommending that all staff and students wear a mask whilst indoors.”
Barker College Head Phillip Heath.
Barker College head Phillip Heath said staff would be asked to undertake a RAT before attending school each Monday in the first few weeks of Term 3.
“The school will be strongly recommending that all staff and students wear a mask whilst indoors on campus and will be advised to not attend school if they are displaying any symptoms,” he said.
St Andrews Cathedral School in Sydney’s CBD will continue to enforce an indoor mask mandate for staff and students in years 7 to 12. Students from kindergarten to year 6 will be encouraged to wear masks.
Last week, NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said there had been a 30 per cent increase in sick days taken by teachers and staff this year, which was directly related to COVID and flu.
“We will certainly be making sure that there are additional masks available in our school communities and looking at additional distribution of rapid antigen tests as well,” she said.
“We’re in winter, and we know that term three will probably have some bumps along the way. We are absolutely feeling the pressure of COVID and flu in our schools.”

BANGKOK (AP) — Cybersecurity researchers say that Thai activists involved in the country’s pro-democracy protests had their cell phones or other devices infected and attacked with government-sponsored spyware.
Investigators of the cybersecurity research groups Citizen Lab and iLaw found that at least 30 individuals — including activists, scholars and people working with civil society groups — were targeted for surveillance with Pegasus, a spyware produced by Israeli-based cybersecurity company NSO Group.
Those whose devices were attacked were either involved in the pro-democracy protests that took place between 2020 and 2021, or were publicly critical of the Thai monarchy. The two groups said lawyers who defended the activists also were under such digital surveillance.
The Pegasus spyware is known for “zero-click exploits” which means it can be installed remotely onto a target’s phone, without the target having to click any links or download software.
NSO Group’s products, including the Pegasus software, are typically licensed only to government intelligence and law enforcement agencies to investigate terrorism and serious crime, according to the company’s website.
The company has defended its business in the face of multiple legal challenges, saying its decisions on sales undergo a rigorous ethical vetting process.
The reports by Citizen Lab and iLaw do not accuse any specific government actor but say the use of Pegasus indicates the presence of a government operator.
The attacks on the individuals’ devices spanned from Oct. 2020 to Nov. 2021, a timing “highly relevant to specific Thai political events” since they took place over the period of time when pro-democracy protests erupted across the country.
Thailand’s student-led pro-democracy movement ramped up activities in 2020, largely in reaction to the continuing influence of the military in government and hyper-royalist sentiment.
The movement was able to attract crowds of as many as 20,000-30,000 people in Bangkok in 2020 and had followings in major cities and universities.
The army in 2014 overthrew an elected government, and Prayuth Chan-ocha, the coup leader, was named prime minister after a 2019 general election put in power a military-backed political party.
“There is longstanding evidence showing Pegasus presence in Thailand, indicating that the government would likely have had access to Pegasus during the period in question,” researchers said in the report.
The over 30 individuals targeted were also “of intense interest to the Thai government.”
The victims targeted and the timing of the attacks reflect information that would be easy to obtain by Thai authorities, the researchers said.
“The findings included in this report suggest that NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware was used as part of these efforts to suppress Thai calls for democratic reforms,” Citizen Lab concluded.
Protesters have campaigned for Prayuth and his government to step down and demanded reforms to make the monarchy more accountable and to amend the constitution to make it more democratic. | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/researchers-say-thai-pro-democracy-activists-hit-by-spyware/YGI35FF4AFDZZKPRAOXLDISCU4/ | 2022-07-18T03:49:13Z | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/researchers-say-thai-pro-democracy-activists-hit-by-spyware/YGI35FF4AFDZZKPRAOXLDISCU4/ | true | 23 |

LTI Mindtree synergies to boost the entity’s ability to participate in large deals
The stock exchanges already have provided their observation letter and no objection, and the merger is now awaiting other regulatory approvals.
Published: 17th July 2022 07:39 AM | Last Updated: 17th July 2022 07:39 AM | A+A A-
BENGALURU: Mindtree and Larsen & Toubro Infotech (LTI) in May announced a mega-merger that will create a scaled-up IT services provider exceeding $3.5 billion. The stock exchanges already have provided their observation letter and no objection, and the merger is now awaiting other regulatory approvals.
There is a steering committee that meets regularly to oversee the integration plan. “We recently won a large deal with a Europe-based global travel technology company in partnership with LTI to provide end-to-end development and support services for the company’s customer services applications,” Venu Lambu, executive director and president, global markets at Mindtree, told The New Indian Express.
The merged entity LTIMindtree will combine the complementary strengths of both companies and this will boost the ability of the two companies to participate in large deals and strengthen partnerships with ecosystem players. Lambu said synergies between the two companies are already producing results.
The company reported Rs 3,121.1 crore revenue, a 36% increase in the first quarter of FY23 compared to Rs 2,291.7 crore in the year-ago period. It also saw the highest-ever order book of $570 million. Mindtree delivered its sixth consecutive quarter of over 5% revenue growth. When asked about the tech demand environment, Lambu said there are no indications yet of any significant change in client behaviour.
“Organisations across sectors are today convinced that digital transformation is indispensable in creating long-term competitive advantage. They are looking at the digital transformation to improve revenues as well as optimise costs, more so through macroeconomic shifts of the kind we are witnessing now,” he added.
Cross-currency headwind
Though Mindtree’s retail, CPG and manufacturing business grew 15.6% YoY, it was 8.7% down sequentially. Lambu said the sequential decrease was because of client-specific issues and a significant cross-currency headwind. He called it pockets of softness in certain areas depending on what specific clients retail and their supply chain dependencies involving China or Russia.
“The good news is that these clients will soon have to start getting ready to support the next peak festive season marked by the highest sales and profits. That should help navigate and mitigate some of the headwinds of softness in certain areas of the sector,” he said.
In Q1 FY23, it's banking, financial services and insurance business grew 6.5% sequentially and 31.7% Y-o-Y. The firm’s youngest industry group, Health, continued its strong growth trajectory, with a 43.5% sequential and 170.4% Y-o-Y growth. Earlier in the quarter, Mindtree made a strategic investment in COPE Health Solutions, a leading US healthcare consulting and implementation, to expand its healthcare business.
“We are seeing good client traction with that investment in the areas of value-based care, clinical workforce management, and population health management. It is helping us play at the intersection of health and technology,” he said. The company has been making investments in metaverse solutions and capabilities.
“Clients across verticals are evincing interest in the metaverse and working with us to determine the right use cases as well as the potential value,” he said. Mindtree is taking two approaches in this space. One is to build a custom metaverse and implement use cases for better customer or employee engagement. The other is to create a virtual presence in established third-party metaverses. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jul/17/lti-mindtree-synergies-to-boost-the-entitys-ability-to-participate-in-large-deals-2477379.html | 2022-07-18T04:09:49Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/jul/17/lti-mindtree-synergies-to-boost-the-entitys-ability-to-participate-in-large-deals-2477379.html | false | 1 |
1 person in critical condition after Mauricie seaplane crash
The crash also led to 5,000 power outages in the area
One person is in critical condition following the crash of a seaplane in Quebec's Mauricie region Sunday afternoon.
The crash has also led to about 5,000 power outages for Hydro-Québec customers in the area.
Witnesses saw the plane plunging down above the Saint-Maurice River, before crashing nearby at 3:45 p.m. Electricity cables were damaged in the crash.
One person was rescued from the plane and transported to hospital, where they were in critical condition Sunday evening. Quebec provincial police said that at that point, it did not know if other people had been onboard the plane.
The Shawinigan fire department assisted Quebec provincial police in the rescue because of its nautical expertise.
Sûreté du Québec divers were also headed to the site of the crash Sunday afternoon.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada was advised of the crash.

Injured Tajinderpal Singh Toor pulls out of World Athletics Championships
The Tokyo Olympian was part of the 36-member Indian athletics squad for CWG 2022 despite failing to hit the qualifying standard of 20.50m set by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI).

NEW DELHI: Indian shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor on Saturday pulled out of the ongoing World Athletics Championships 2022 in Oregon, USA, due to a groin injury.
The 27-year-old Toor made a few practices put before the qualification round in Oregon but decided to withdraw after failing to recover from the adductor muscle strain he suffered four days ago at a training session in Chula Vista, USA.
He was the only Indian shot putter at the world athletics championships. The injury also means that the Toor will not compete at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, which will be held from July 28 to August 8.
"Today was a hard day for me. I couldn't perform as I intended. Injuries have been continuously encompassing me. Last year, it was my wrist and now it's my thigh. Just four days before the competition my groin muscle was pulled and it greatly affected my performance," Toor said.
"However, I will work hard and come back stronger," he added.
The Tokyo Olympian was part of the 36-member Indian athletics squad for CWG 2022 despite failing to hit the qualifying standard of 20.50m set by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI).
Toor has had a modest season so far, breaching the 20m mark only once. The 20.34m effort came at the National Inter State Championships on June 12 which remains a far cry from his personal best of 21.49m, which is both the national record and Asian record in men's shot put.
The reigning Asian Games champion competed at the Tokyo Olympics with an injury as well, where he failed to make the finals after managing just one legal throw with a heavily bandaged wrist. He underwent wrist surgery last September. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/other/2022/jul/16/injured-tajinderpal-singh-toor-pulls-out-of-world-athletics-championships-2477303.html | 2022-07-18T04:18:54Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/other/2022/jul/16/injured-tajinderpal-singh-toor-pulls-out-of-world-athletics-championships-2477303.html | false | 2 |

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has already helped block one of former President Donald Trump’s allies from winning the Republican nomination for governor in a crucial battleground state. Now he’s hoping for a repeat in his own backyard.
Ducey is part of a burgeoning effort among establishment Republicans to lift up little-known housing developer Karrin Taylor Robson against former television news anchor Kari Lake, who is backed by Trump. Other prominent Republicans, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, have also lined up behind Robson in recent days.
The push is reminiscent of how many leading Republicans rallied around Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in the final stretch of his ultimately successful bid to fend off a Trump-endorsed primary challenger.
Few states have been as central to Trump’s election lies as Georgia and Arizona, the two closest 2020 battlegrounds where he pushed aggressively to overturn the results and fumed when Kemp and Ducey refused to go along. Trump has already faced a setback in Georgia, and the Aug. 2 race in Arizona is among his last opportunities to settle scores and install allies to lead states that may prove decisive if he decides to run again in 2024.
“In Arizona, people are independent minded, much like they are in Georgia, and they pick the person that they think will be best for the responsibility,” Ducey told The Associated Press. “In Georgia, the voters said Brian Kemp, and I’m hopeful in Arizona, they’ll say Karen Taylor Robson.”
As an incumbent seeking reelection, Kemp had an advantage over his primary rival, David Perdue, and ultimately defeated him by nearly 52 percentage points. Without an incumbent on the ballot — Ducey faces term limits — the GOP contest in Arizona will likely be much closer.
But what once looked like an insurmountable lead for Lake could end in a more competitive finish. With early voting already underway, Robson is drawing on her family's vast fortune to drown out Lake who, despite Trump's endorsement, has lagged in fundraising. Robson had outspent Lake more than 5 to 1 as of the end of June.
The final maneuvering by some leading GOP figures could prove significant in a close race. Beyond Ducey and Christie, Robson has lined up support from former U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon, who dropped out of the governor's race and endorsed her. The Border Patrol union, meanwhile, broke with Trump and backed Robson, citing in part Lake’s prior statements supporting a pathway to citizenship for people living in the country illegally.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who notably split with Trump in Georgia and campaigned alongside Kemp, has yet to pick a side in Arizona.
For her part, Lake is an unlikely MAGA champion.
A well-known former local news anchor who donated to Barack Obama and for years hung around with drag queens at a gay bar near the television station, Lake once was the antithesis of Trump’s brand of politics.
Yet she rocketed to the top of the field since she walked away from her three-decade television career, declared “journalism is dead” and took a sledgehammer to a pile of TVs.
She built on the powerful connection she'd formed with viewers in the Phoenix media market over 27 years with the local Fox affiliate and created a uniquely strong bond with the base that propelled Trump to the White House in 2016 and still doesn’t believe he lost in 2020.
Even Trump seemed impressed by the ovation her name inspired when he mentioned it during a rally in Phoenix last year. He endorsed her a short time later.
She, in turn, has adopted his combative style, his narrative about the 2020 election — she falsely says it was corrupt and stolen — and his get-tough approach to border security. She’s walked away from her close ties with John McCain’s family and now feuds with the late U.S. senator’s children.
“We’re either gonna go the way of the past, which is the McCain mafia running the show, or we’re gonna go with America first,” Lake told a crowd of hundreds at a country western bar in Tucson last week. Many arrived well over an hour early and waited in the Southern Arizona heat for a chance to get inside.
Lake, 52, routinely berates journalists trying to question her and releases the footage on social media.
Last year, she said she wants to put cameras in classrooms to monitor teachers, nodding to the backlash on the right to teachings on race and history in public schools.
If elected, she says, she’d immediately invoke an untested legal theory that illegal immigration constitutes an “invasion” of the United States and gives the governor war powers to remove people from the country without proceedings in immigration courts.
Since Robson and her allies began their full-court press, Lake has claimed without evidence that “they might be trying to set the stage for another steal.”
“They have been such RINOs for so long, and I don’t trust that they have our country as a priority,” said Rosa Alfonso, a 60-year-old speech language pathologist in Tucson. “That’s a big deal.”
Robson, 57, is making her first run for office, though she has lifelong ties to GOP politics. He father and brother both held elected office as Republicans.
An attorney for real estate developers, she has been at the center of the suburban sprawl that has propelled the Phoenix area’s prodigious growth. Ducey appointed her to the board overseeing Arizona’s three public universities, her most high-profile public role before she quit to run for governor.
“These are serious times,” Robson said during a recent debate. “We need a serious candidate with a record of accomplishment.”
Her husband, housing developer Ed Robson, 91, is one of the state’s richest residents, amassing a fortune building master planned retirement communities. She says the 2020 election was “unfair” but has stopped short of calling it fraudulent. Like Lake, she’s running as a border hawk.
She brands her rival “Fake Lake,” highlighting a $350 donation she gave to Obama’s 2008 campaign, though Robson has herself contributed large sums to Democrats.
“It’s all an act,” Ducey said of Lake. “The campaign she’s been running bears no resemblance to the life she’s lived for the past three decades, nor to the interactions that she’s had with me. She’s putting on a show. We’ll see how many people buy it.” | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/GOP-establishment-steps-up-push-to-block-Trump-17311299.php | 2022-07-18T04:30:17Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/GOP-establishment-steps-up-push-to-block-Trump-17311299.php | false | 33 |

Are ASUS or Eero mesh Wi-Fi systems best?
Recently, more customers have been upgrading from traditional Wi-Fi routers to more modern mesh Wi-Fi systems. Mesh systems come with multiple nodes that form a single Wi-Fi network, and they offer larger coverage with high-quality connection. ASUS and Eero are two of the leading names in mesh Wi-Fi, competing with brands such as Google and Gryphon. There are advantages to both, but ASUS is better for those desiring speed and customization, whereas Eero excels at stability and accessibility.
ASUS mesh Wi-Fi system
ASUS has been carving out a niche in the mesh network market with their impressive AiMesh technology, which has been well-received by customers. ASUS sells a variety of mesh Wi-Fi systems at different speeds, meaning there are options across the price spectrum.
ASUS mesh Wi-Fi Pros
ASUS systems offer high speeds at an affordable cost, making them a great bang for your buck. ASUS also produces more fully featured and customizable systems than many of its competitors, and these systems have dedicated backhaul, which refers to the transferring of data between the internet and other networks. This can lead to better data transfer between multiple devices, and it’s helpful if you have a large living space with multiple floors.
ASUS mesh systems support the creation of multiple SSIDs, meaning that you can create separate Wi-Fi networks using the same system. This is particularly attractive if you want certain people in your area of coverage to have more security permissions than others. For example, guests in your living space can log into a guest Wi-Fi network for internet browsing alone, whereas those living with you can access a network that connects them to devices such as printers. This is also a useful feature if you have a business and want customers to have access to a dedicated guest network.
ASUS systems offer a multitude of configuration options, and there are fantastic parental controls and internet security settings. AiMesh also lets you combine multiple routers into one network. This means that ASUS routers can essentially serve as individual nodes in a single mesh system, which is especially advantageous for those who already have an ASUS router.
ASUS mesh Wi-Fi Cons
The high level of customization offered by ASUS also means that setup is more complicated, and the ASUS router app isn’t as streamlined as Eero’s app. This makes ASUS less accessible to those unfamiliar with mesh Wi-Fi.
Despite ASUS’s higher max speeds, ASUS systems are more prone to interference than their Eero counterparts. Because of this, interruptions are more likely with ASUS than Eero. ASUS’ support of multiple SSIDs also means that performance and reliability could suffer if you choose to create additional wireless interfaces.
Best ASUS mesh Wi-Fi systems
One of ASUS’s best models is the ASUS Zen Wi-Fi AX6600 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System, which is a two-pack Wi-Fi 6 option that can cover up to 5,500 square feet. These nodes have three standard LAN ports as well as a more deluxe WAN port. This is an incredibly useful feature if you plan on connecting multiple wired devices to your network.
The ASUS Zen Wi-Fi AX Mini is a great three-pack alternative that covers up to 4,800 square feet and has two LAN ports on the main router and one port on each of the nodes.
Eero mesh Wi-Fi system
Eero mesh Wi-Fi systems use Eero’s patented TrueMesh technology, which is known for superior reliability. Like ASUS, Eero sells several unique systems designed to accommodate different needs and living situations.
Eero mesh Wi-Fi Pros
Above all, Eero excels at producing a stable connection free of interference or interruptions. This means that you’re less likely to lose connection during movie night or run into slow downloads when you need to access important files. While Eero doesn’t let you create multiple SSIDs, the dedication to a single network ensures a smoother connection. Customers who prefer consistency over max speeds will love Eero systems.
Eero’s full-duplex mesh is also good at adapting to issues that your network may face; if one channel has an issue, the network will seamlessly access one of the other networks, adding to Eero’s reliability.
Eero also covers more square feet than ASUS. The Eero Pro 6 covers up to 6,000 feet, beating out ASUS’s AX6600 system, which covers 5,500 feet. Customers have also reported getting good connection even outside their home, meaning it’s possible to access your network while on your porch or patio. The Eero Pro 6 comes with three nodes so that you can easily customize your network distribution.
Furthermore, Eero’s app and setup process is considered to be superior to ASUS’. The app is straightforward with a great user interface, and it’s simple to get your Eero network up and running.
Eero mesh Wi-Fi Cons
Eero’s max speeds are lower than ASUS’, and the Eero Pro 6 is an AX4200 system, meaning it isn’t as high-performing as ASUS’s AX6600 option. In addition, Eero’s nodes come with two ethernet ports as opposed to the four on ASUS’s AX6600. This will be a disadvantage if you frequently use wired connections.
A lack of customization options is the major downside to Eero’s streamlined setup. TrueMesh only lets you create one network, which may be a dealbreaker to those looking to create multiple SSIDs .
Best Eero mesh Wi-Fi systems
At a competitive price, the Eero Pro 6 is Eero’s best Wi-Fi 6 system thanks to its powerful coverage, and it can also serve as a Zigbee smart home hub.
The Eero 6 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router is a more affordable option for those who need to cover a smaller area.
Should you get an ASUS mesh Wi-Fi system or an Eero mesh Wi-Fi system?
ASUS and Eero each make top-shelf mesh systems that will likely improve your internet experience, but the differences between the two brands is clear. ASUS is best for those who need high speeds and the ability to create multiple networks, while Eero is the right choice if you need a reliable and streamlined network.

BOSTON, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) released the Sensor Data Integrations Toolkits, four comprehensive toolkits to guide data producers, processors, and consumers to use the influx of data from the increased use of wearables and digital sensing products at scale. These resources are based on the Sensor Data Integrations project, comprised of healthcare leaders from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle, the Moffitt Cancer Center, Takeda, the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and more. These toolkits will help realize the promise of sensor generated data to drive better decisions, faster, to improve healthcare delivery and research. The project team will conduct a demo of the toolkits during a live launch event on July 18 at 10:30 am ET, featuring Micky Tripathi, the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology at the US Department of Health and Human Services.
The surge of data from sensor technologies is far outpacing the industry's ability to collect, store, analyze, protect, and use this data effectively for patient care and research. The number of US patients using remote patient monitoring devices is expected to surpass 70 million by 2025. Between 2022 and 2028, the global market for wearable technology is expected to grow around 18.5 percent, reaching $380.5 billion. The number of unique digital endpoints being used in industry sponsored trials of new medical products increased by over 950% between October 2019 and May 2022. The number of sponsors using these products in medical product development increased from 12 to 96 in the same timespan. And while the ability to discern high-quality sensor data suitable for clinical decision making is increasing rapidly, the ability to access these data is constrained by a current dependence on individual point solutions.
"Sensor generated data, captured during people's daily lives, offer the opportunity to redefine how we measure health and disease. This opportunity powers the possibility of using high quality, high resolution flows of data to reimagine our approach to healthcare and research, leveraging more complete information to improve individual clinical decisions, decisions about the effectiveness of new medical products, and broader policy and public health decisions," said DiMe CEO Jennifer Goldsack. "DiMe's new Sensor Data Integrations Toolkits provide action-oriented resources to help data producers, processors, and consumers come together to create a sensor data ecosystem suitable for scale."
AWS has contributed customer feedback and technical expertise to ensure the toolkit meets the needs of today's modern healthcare system. "Across every industry, we see companies trying to accelerate their path to the cloud," said Lita Sands, Head of Solutions Life Sciences at AWS. "Timelines are getting quicker while the data collected is increasing exponentially – there is a clear and significant need for how to effectively and securely collect and use this information at scale. DiMe's new toolkits are a lifeline to organizations working with sensor data. They offer a comprehensive starting point for data producers, processors, and consumers to help build an integrated pipeline to support better and faster decision making."
The development of these toolkits builds on DiMe's previous pre-competitive initiatives, such as The Playbook, the essential guide for developing and deploying digital clinical measures to advance patient care, clinical research, and public health. The Sensor Data Integrations Toolkits go further to ensure that high quality sensor data can be used at scale to improve patient care and speed efficient medical product development.
The DiMe community is currently working on additional projects related to taking digitally generated data to scale and will be releasing additional resources over the coming months. DiMe is not only committed to creating and disseminating new digital health approaches and tools, but also sharing user experiences with the broader community. We encourage Sensor Data Integrations Toolkits users to contribute to Dime's "Resources in Action" case study hub by sharing how you are using resources to further the safe, effective, equitable, and ethical use of digital medicine to redefine healthcare and improve human health.
The leading organizations from across the global healthcare, research, and digital health innovation sectors that collaborated with DiMe to create these open-access resources are AWS, Elevance Health, Evidation, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Human First, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Medable, Moffitt Cancer Center, Open mHealth, Oracle, Savvy, Takeda, and US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
About the Digital Medicine Society: DiMe is a global non-profit and the professional home for all members of the digital medicine community. Together, we tackle the toughest digital medicine challenges, develop clinical-quality resources on a technology timeline, and deliver these actionable resources to the field via open-source channels and educational programs. Join us to advance the ethical, effective, equitable, and safe use of digital medicine to redefine healthcare and improve lives.

Daniel Andrews brings in new health measures to help under-siege paramedics
The Victorian government has released a range of new measures to help under-the-pump paramedics as an average of 2000 staff are furloughed across the state’s healthcare system each day.
Premier Daniel Andrews announced the Victorian virtual emergency department’s capacity would be doubled as part of a $162m health package.
Now up to 500 patients per day can use the service, which lets people have video consultations with an emergency doctor or nurse from their own home.
The program was also expanded so people living in residential aged care facilities and everyone on the Covid Positive Pathways could access it.
Since the program began in October 2020, more than 28,000 patients have been seen, with an average ambulance and/or emergency department diversion rate of 71 per cent.
Mr Andrews said it made “common sense” to expand the virtual program, with emergency departments set to be busy over winter.
“No one wants to spend time in an emergency department if you can get the care, the referral, the pathway and the treatment in a more efficient way,” he said.
“It doesn‘t see you having to leave your home and sees all of our resources used as best we possibly can use them. That’s a great thing for the system.
“They’ve (virtual emergency department patients) got what they needed virtually without having to be transported either by an ambulance or under their own steam without having to be physically present and wait in an emergency department and potentially take up space and time.”
Capacity and the available beds have been a major issue at Victorian hospitals as a third wave fuelled by the contagious Omicron BA. 4 and BA. 5 subvariants takes hold.
The number of Victorians in hospital with Covid has increased by 99 per cent in less than a month and there has been a 60 per cent rise in Covid ICU admissions.
The state’s Covid hospitalisations surpassed 800 on Monday, while 10,251 new cases were recorded.
Ambulance Victoria improvement lead Amanda Thornton said beyond diverging patients to help free up precious hospital beds, the virtual emergency department was also quicker and more efficient.
“An average case that goes through virtual emergency department can take anywhere between say 40 to 60 minutes, that‘s our entire case time. When we transport people to hospital, we can see that extend up to eight or nine hours,” he said.
“The benefit is certainly that we can divert these patients to care in the community. We can get our ambulances back on the road.”
Other measures announced by the government included a new rostering pattern for advanced life support paramedic crews, which is being trialled at four ambulance service areas in metropolitan Melbourne.
Ambulance Victoria’s offload teams have also been expanded to 14 major public hospitals from the six existing sites.
It comes after multiple ambulance code reds have been declared in the state this year due to Covid and flu-related staff shortages.
More than 10,000 staff from across the healthcare system were furloughed in the first week of July alone, with workforce furlough up by 47 per cent since June 22.

A Huddersfield man has attracted praise from all over the world after finishing the Ironman Bolton triathlon with just seconds to spare after being injured earlier in the race.
Dave Reilly, 49 and from Holmfirth, said the race had always been a “dream” of his after he started a weight-loss journey in 2018. He weighed 20 stone and began to do park runs before beginning training for the Ironman race.
Now seven stone lighter, Dave participated in Ironman Bolton on Sunday 10 July and was making good time, on to the marathon section in 10 hours. However, he has often suffered from a sore back after cycling which can usually be treated with paracetamol, this time the pain only got worse.

He said: “The pain started getting worse rather than getting better, so I kind of knew that ‘Oh dear I’m in trouble now’. This is going to be bad.
“Then on mile three it just went horrendous, so then I was thinking I had seven hours to do a marathon and I’m still in pain, staggering, walking because I can’t run no more. I thought: ‘can I walk a marathon like this within less than seven hours?’.”
Dave persevered and continued the race, attempting to finish under the 17 hour time limit. As he approached the finish line, after staggering his way through the marathon, the time, which he was tracking on his watch, began to run out.
“My watch pinged up 17 hours and I was still two metres short of the finishing line, so I thought oh my God, I’ve missed it. Usually if you’re one second short they’ll stop you,” he said.
“I collapsed over the line and thought I was done. But luckily once they stood me up they actually told me I had made it, which was really emotional. The crowd was going wild and I was holding back the tears and the pain.
“It was a fantastic achievement doing that, I’ve actually finished my dream.”
He also revealed he had received positive messages from around the world about his achievement. One person from Canada even asked him to share his tips on weight loss and exercise.

MOUNT OLIVE TWP. - The township's ever-popular annual Community Carnival continued over the weekend under mostly clear skies and balmy, breezy weather that could mean only one thing: summer fun.
Thousands flocked to Turkey Brook Park for the multi-night event, which began on Wednesday, July 13 and wrapped up on Sunday, July 17.
For kids, there were the thrills and chills of such rides as Orbiter, Himalaya, Zipper and more.
Adults enjoyed live bands and a beer tent courtesy Jersey Girl Brewing Company.
There was food - plenty of food - from food trucks that satisfied every carnival food urge under the sun.
The "rockets red glare" packed in the crowds for after-dark fireworks on Friday, July 15.
The carnival is just one of many summer events the township is holding this summer, and exemplified the reason why Mayor Rob Greenbaum during the Tuesday, July 12 virtual Township Council meeting, proclaimed July as "Parks and Recreation Month" and "Parks and Recreation Professionals Month" following the same action by the U.S. House of Representatives.
According to the proclamation, "parks and recreation are vitally important to establishing and maintaining the quality of life in our communities, ensuring the health of all citizens, and contributing to the economic and environmental well-being of a community and region."
They also, according to the proclamation, "build healthy, active communities that aid in the prevention of chronic disease, provide therapeutic recreation services for those who are mentally or physically disabled, and also improve the mental and emotional health of all citizens."
According to the proclamation, "parks and recreation programs increase a community's economic prosperity through increased property values, expansion of the local tax base, increased tourism, the attraction and retention of businesses, and crime reduction."
Parks and recreation also "improve water quality, protect groundwater, prevent flooding, improve the quality of the air we breathe, provide vegetative buffers to development and produce habitat for wildlife."
According to the proclamation, "our parks and natural recreation areas ensure the ecological beauty of our communities and provide a place for children and adults to connect with nature and recreate outdoors." | https://www.newjerseyhills.com/mt_olive_chronicle/news/once-again-mount-olives-carnival-wows-the-crowds/article_c66acdb0-b555-53ee-b0a6-24d968150fcd.html | 2022-07-18T05:21:22Z | https://www.newjerseyhills.com/mt_olive_chronicle/news/once-again-mount-olives-carnival-wows-the-crowds/article_c66acdb0-b555-53ee-b0a6-24d968150fcd.html | false | 1 |

GOP establishment steps up push to block Trump ally in Ariz.
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has already helped block one of former President Donald Trump’s allies from winning the Republican nomination for governor in a crucial battleground state. Now he’s hoping for a repeat in his own backyard.
Ducey is part of a burgeoning effort among establishment Republicans to lift up little-known housing developer Karrin Taylor Robson against former television news anchor Kari Lake, who is backed by Trump. Other prominent Republicans, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, have also lined up behind Robson in recent days.
The push is reminiscent of how many leading Republicans rallied around Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in the final stretch of his ultimately successful bid to fend off a Trump-endorsed primary challenger.
Few states have been as central to Trump’s election lies as Georgia and Arizona, the two closest 2020 battlegrounds where he pushed aggressively to overturn the results and fumed when Kemp and Ducey refused to go along. Trump has already faced a setback in Georgia, and the Aug. 2 race in Arizona is among his last opportunities to settle scores and install allies to lead states that may prove decisive if he decides to run again in 2024.
“In Arizona, people are independent minded, much like they are in Georgia, and they pick the person that they think will be best for the responsibility,” Ducey told The Associated Press. “In Georgia, the voters said Brian Kemp, and I’m hopeful in Arizona, they’ll say Karen Taylor Robson.”
As an incumbent seeking reelection, Kemp had an advantage over his primary rival, David Perdue, and ultimately defeated him by nearly 52 percentage points. Without an incumbent on the ballot — Ducey faces term limits — the GOP contest in Arizona will likely be much closer.
But what once looked like an insurmountable lead for Lake could end in a more competitive finish. With early voting already underway, Robson is drawing on her family’s vast fortune to drown out Lake who, despite Trump’s endorsement, has lagged in fundraising. Robson had outspent Lake more than 5 to 1 as of the end of June.
The final maneuvering by some leading GOP figures could prove significant in a close race. Beyond Ducey and Christie, Robson has lined up support from former U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon, who dropped out of the governor’s race and endorsed her. The Border Patrol union, meanwhile, broke with Trump and backed Robson, citing in part Lake’s prior statements supporting a pathway to citizenship for people living in the country illegally.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who notably split with Trump in Georgia and campaigned alongside Kemp, has yet to pick a side in Arizona.
For her part, Lake is an unlikely MAGA champion.
A well-known former local news anchor who donated to Barack Obama and for years hung around with drag queens at a gay bar near the television station, Lake once was the antithesis of Trump’s brand of politics.
Yet she rocketed to the top of the field since she walked away from her three-decade television career, declared “journalism is dead” and took a sledgehammer to a pile of TVs.
She built on the powerful connection she’d formed with viewers in the Phoenix media market over 27 years with the local Fox affiliate and created a uniquely strong bond with the base that propelled Trump to the White House in 2016 and still doesn’t believe he lost in 2020.
Even Trump seemed impressed by the ovation her name inspired when he mentioned it during a rally in Phoenix last year. He endorsed her a short time later.
She, in turn, has adopted his combative style, his narrative about the 2020 election — she falsely says it was corrupt and stolen — and his get-tough approach to border security. She’s walked away from her close ties with John McCain’s family and now feuds with the late U.S. senator’s children.
“We’re either gonna go the way of the past, which is the McCain mafia running the show, or we’re gonna go with America first,” Lake told a crowd of hundreds at a country western bar in Tucson last week. Many arrived well over an hour early and waited in the Southern Arizona heat for a chance to get inside.
Lake, 52, routinely berates journalists trying to question her and releases the footage on social media.
Last year, she said she wants to put cameras in classrooms to monitor teachers, nodding to the backlash on the right to teachings on race and history in public schools.
If elected, she says, she’d immediately invoke an untested legal theory that illegal immigration constitutes an “invasion” of the United States and gives the governor war powers to remove people from the country without proceedings in immigration courts.
Since Robson and her allies began their full-court press, Lake has claimed without evidence that “they might be trying to set the stage for another steal.”
“They have been such RINOs for so long, and I don’t trust that they have our country as a priority,” said Rosa Alfonso, a 60-year-old speech language pathologist in Tucson. “That’s a big deal.”
Robson, 57, is making her first run for office, though she has lifelong ties to GOP politics. He father and brother both held elected office as Republicans.
An attorney for real estate developers, she has been at the center of the suburban sprawl that has propelled the Phoenix area’s prodigious growth. Ducey appointed her to the board overseeing Arizona’s three public universities, her most high-profile public role before she quit to run for governor.
“These are serious times,” Robson said during a recent debate. “We need a serious candidate with a record of accomplishment.”
Her husband, housing developer Ed Robson, 91, is one of the state’s richest residents, amassing a fortune building master planned retirement communities. She says the 2020 election was “unfair” but has stopped short of calling it fraudulent. Like Lake, she’s running as a border hawk.
She brands her rival “Fake Lake,” highlighting a $350 donation she gave to Obama’s 2008 campaign, though Robson has herself contributed large sums to Democrats.
“It’s all an act,” Ducey said of Lake. “The campaign she’s been running bears no resemblance to the life she’s lived for the past three decades, nor to the interactions that she’s had with me. She’s putting on a show. We’ll see how many people buy it.” | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/17/gop-establishment-steps-up-push-to-block-trump-ally-in-ariz/ | 2022-07-18T05:27:36Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/17/gop-establishment-steps-up-push-to-block-trump-ally-in-ariz/ | true | 33 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in the trial of Steve Bannon, a one-time adviser to former President Donald Trump who faces criminal contempt of Congress charges after refusing for months to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
Bannon is charged in Washington’s federal court with defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee that sought his records and testimony. He was indicted in November on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress, one month after the Justice Department received a congressional referral. Each count carries a minimum of 30 days of jail and as long as a year behind bars.
The trial follows a flurry of activity in the case since July 9. Over a week ago, the former White House strategist notified the committee that he is now willing to testify. His lawyer, Robert Costello, said the change was because Trump has waived his executive privilege claim from preventing the testimony.
Bannon, 68, had been one of the most prominent of the Trump-allied holdouts in refusing to testify before the committee. He has argued that his testimony is protected by Trump’s claim of executive privilege.
Trump has repeatedly asserted executive privilege — even as a former president — to try to block witness testimony and the release of White House documents. The Supreme Court in January ruled against Trump’s efforts to stop the National Archives from cooperating with the committee after a lower court judge noted, in part, “Presidents are not kings.”
The committee has also noted that Trump fired Bannon from the White House in 2017 and Bannon was thus a private citizen when he was consulting with the then-president in the run-up to the riot.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols declined motions to delay the trial in separate hearings last week, including Thursday when Bannon's lawyers raised concerns about a CNN report that has since aired about their client and what they said were prejudicial comments made during a hearing last week held by the House committee investigating the riot.
“I am cognizant of current concerns about publicity and bias and whether we can seat a jury that is going to be appropriate and fair, but as I said before, I believe the appropriate course is to go through the voir dire process,” Nichols said Thursday, referring to the questioning of individual jurors before they are selected. The judge said he intended to get a jury that "is going to be appropriate, fair and unbiased.”
While the judge allowed the trial to move forward, Nichols left open the possibility that the letters about Trump waiving his privilege and Bannon's offer to cooperate with the committee could be referenced at trial, saying the information was “at least potentially relevant” to Bannon’s defense.
Roscoe Howard Jr., the former U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., said the best case for Bannon is if the information on his cooperation offer gets to the jury. Even if it does, claiming that executive privilege stopped him from cooperating earlier will be a hard argument to make because Bannon refused to answer the subpoena, Howard said.
“You have to show up to invoke the privilege claim. You can't phone it in," he said. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Trial-expected-to-begin-for-ex-Trump-adviser-17311297.php | 2022-07-18T05:40:31Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Trial-expected-to-begin-for-ex-Trump-adviser-17311297.php | true | 32 |

Louisiana abortion ban case heard before judge
With access to abortion flickering in Louisiana, the legal battle over the statewide ban continues with a court hearing scheduled to begin Monday morning.
State District Judge Donald Johnson issued a temporary order last week blocking enforcement pending the hearing in a lawsuit that claims the state law is unconstitutionally vague.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry’s office will argue that the state ban is constitutional and should no longer be blocked. Attorneys for a north Louisiana abortion clinic and other supporters of legal abortion want Johnson to keep blocking enforcement as their lawsuit plays out.
“The courts are an extremely important avenue for this fight,” Joanna Wright, an attorney for the north Louisiana clinic that is the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, said last week. “I think that this is a national moment and a national dialogue and the courts are one way that we are having that dialogue.”
Johnson’s order last week freed Louisiana’s three abortion clinics, in Shreveport, Baton Rouge and New Orleans, to resume operations. One, Hope Medical Group for Women clinic in Shreveport, said it would continue abortion procedures. A spokeswoman for the two others said the clinics are open but would not schedule new patients until after Monday’s hearing.
The statewide abortion ban, which does not have exceptions for victims of rape and incest, has taken effect twice and been blocked twice since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its historic Roe v. Wade ruling on June 24. Louisiana’s law includes “trigger language” designed to make it effective when the Supreme Court reversed abortion rights.
In the suit, which originated in New Orleans, plaintiffs don’t deny that the state can now ban abortion. But they contend that Louisiana now has multiple, conflicting trigger mechanisms in the law. They also argue that the state law is unclear on whether it bans an abortion prior to a fertilized egg implanting in the uterus.
And while the law provides an exception for “medically futile” pregnancies in cases of fetuses with fatal abnormalities, the plaintiffs note it gives no definition of the term and that state health officials haven’t yet provided a list of conditions that would qualify.
Landry, in a filing last week, argued that the law “needs only to delineate what is illegal — not define what is legal.”
“The rule of law must be followed, and I will not rest until it is,” Landry recently tweeted.
A New Orleans judge issued a temporary order blocking enforcement of the ban on June 27, but nearly two weeks later a second New Orleans judge sent the case to Baton Rouge, saying state law required that it be heard in the capital.
Johnson issued a second temporary restraining order on July 11.

Shareholders in Flutter Entertainment (LON:FLTR) have lost 37%, as stock drops 5.5% this past week
Passive investing in an index fund is a good way to ensure your own returns roughly match the overall market. When you buy individual stocks, you can make higher profits, but you also face the risk of under-performance. Investors in Flutter Entertainment plc (LON:FLTR) have tasted that bitter downside in the last year, as the share price dropped 37%. That's disappointing when you consider the market declined 4.8%. Longer term investors have fared much better, since the share price is up 12% in three years. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 11% in the last three months. However, one could argue that the price has been influenced by the general market, which is down 8.2% in the same timeframe.
With the stock having lost 5.5% in the past week, it's worth taking a look at business performance and seeing if there's any red flags.
Check out our latest analysis for Flutter Entertainment
To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).
Flutter Entertainment fell to a loss making position during the year. Some investors no doubt dumped the stock as a result. We hope for shareholders' sake that the company becomes profitable again soon.

We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on Flutter Entertainment's earnings, revenue and cash flow.
A Different Perspective
We regret to report that Flutter Entertainment shareholders are down 37% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 4.8%. Having said that, it's inevitable that some stocks will be oversold in a falling market. The key is to keep your eyes on the fundamental developments. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 2% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend.

Lincoln Journal Star. July 13, 2022.
Editorial: Pell Grants have allowed thousands of Nebraskans to go to college
His name is unknown to most, but few have done more for higher education than the late Claiborne Pell, a six-term senator from Rhode Island.
It was Pell who sponsored a 1972 bill that reformed the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, which provides financial aid to American college students. Eight years later, the grant was given Pell’s name in honor of his work in making higher learning accessible to everyone.
Fifty years later, there are thousands of Nebraskans who have benefitted from the Pell Grant and the opportunities it afforded students who might not have otherwise been able to afford to go to college.
The current funding of the Pell Grant — about $5,600 per semester — pays the full tuition rate for in-state colleges and would cover additional costs of those students. The money does not have to be paid back.
People are also reading…
According to data collected by the U.S. Department of Education and published through the College Scorecard, roughly 36% of students attending Nebraska’s public and private colleges and universities received a Pell Grant in the 2019-20 school year.
Now consider how many students both in Nebraska and nationwide who have benefitted from Pell Grants. That list includes UNL Chancellor Ronnie Green, who received financial assistance when he enrolled at Virginia Tech University in 1979.
Journal Star higher education reporter Chris Dunker wrote last week that the grant, when combined with other scholarships, helped Green graduate with no college debt.
“I didn’t work a lot when I was in college — I worked some as a student worker — but I was able to go full-time as a student and not have to worry about 20-30 hours of workload a week,” he said. “I was able to finish in 3½ years instead of five or six years.”
The world was different four decades ago, particularly when it comes to the cost of higher education. Student debt has become a fact of life -- an unavoidable curse -- for many students, but Pell Grants still serve a valuable role in reducing that debt.
The average debt University of Nebraska-Lincoln students graduate with is roughly $24,500, according to the Institute for College Access and Success, which is below both the state average of $30,500 and the national average of $32,700.
That’s a bigger hole than we’d like to see young people saddled with as they enter the workforce, but that kind of debt is at least manageable.
We can thank Pell Grants for that. Without this financial aid, there are thousands of Nebraskans who would have entered the workforce immediately out of high school, perhaps without the skill-sets necessary to run some of the firms and industries that help us to maintain the Good Life.
Even worse, consider the thousands of students who might have been forced to leave school without a degree because such funding wasn’t available to them.
Fifty years later, Claiborne Pell deserves a long overdue tip of the cap for making a difference.

Ishan Kishan started his IPL journey for Gujarat Lions in 2017 and played some aggressive knocks coming in the lower order. Impressed by his aggressive strokeplay, Mumbai Indians bought him in 2018.
When we talk about prodigies of Indian cricket who have come to light after their impressive performance in the Indian Premier League, Ishan Kishan undoubtedly occupies the front row. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter has hit the headline several times during his 6-year-long decorated IPL career and has already made his appearance in the Indian outfit. Known for his explosive approach with the bat, to date, Kishan has served two franchises including Gujarat Lions and Mumbai Indians.
The 24-year-old batter initiated his IPL journey for Gujarat Lions in 2017 and played some aggressive knocks coming in the lower order. Impressed by his aggressive strokeplay, Mumbai Indians bought him in 2018. He became the highest run-getter for the Rohit Sharma-led side in 2020 with 516 runs in 14 games.
Ahead of the 2022 season, the Jharkhand cricketer created much buzz after Mumbai Indians bought him for a whopping 15.25 crores making him the costliest player of the 2022 IPL mega auction. He smashed 56 off 32 deliveries against England in his T20I debut and convinced the selectors to include him in the 2021 T20 World Cup squad.
From a young boy full of potential to rising to the big stage

— Mumbai Indians (@mipaltan) July 17, 2022
The southpaw has already featured in 75 IPL games and recorded a total of 1870 runs at a remarkable 130-plus strike rate including as many as 12 half-centuries to his name. Today, on the occasion of his 24th birthday, let’s look at some swashbuckling knocks of Ishan Kishan:
99 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2020: The best score came from Kishan’s bat during a gripping thriller against RCB in 2020. Chasing a mammoth 202, he came at no. 4 and almost took the side home with a 58-ball 99. The devastating show included 9 sixes and 2 boundaries. However, the match ended in a tie and Mumbai lost it following the one-over eliminator.
84 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2021: Opening the innings with skipper Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan stole the show after registering 84 runs off just 32 deliveries. His innings was laced with 11 boundaries and 4 sixes. Riding on the knock and Suryakumar Yadav’s 40-ball 82, Mumbai reached a huge 235 runs in 20 overs against SRH and eventually clinched victory by 42 runs.
81 against Delhi Capitals in 2022: It was only his first match of the latest season when Kishan proved why he became the highest-paid player of the tournament. The Mumbai Indians opener whacked 81 runs in 48 balls which saw 11 fours and 2 sixes in total. Powered by the knock, MI put up a decent 177 runs on the board but the Rishabh Pant-led unit brought the chase down with ease.
62 against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018: It was perhaps the most explosive version of Ishan Kishan when he smashed 62 runs playing just 21 deliveries against KKR during his first year for Mumbai Indians. The blazing knock included 5 boundaries and 6 maximums and led the side to a massive 200-plus total in the first innings. In response, KKR failed to get to the target and endured defeat by 102 runs.
61 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2017: This innings of Ishan Kishan came for Gujarat Lions in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Though Gujarat couldn’t win the match, Kishan made 61 runs facing 40 deliveries and took the side to a 154-run total. The crucial innings contained 5 boundaries and 4 maximums. Hyderabad reached the target with 11 balls left to spare and registered an 8-wicket win.

Big 12 is now the hunter and the Pac-12 could be in its sights
A year ago, the Big 12 was pushed to the brink by the defections of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC. The remaining eight schools were searching for stability. The Pac-12 could have come in and finished the place off with a few tactical expansion moves.
The future was as terrifying as it was uncertain.
Yet the league survived.
No one was poached. The Pac-12 didn’t call. Anger at the Longhorns and Sooners seemed to galvanize the programs left behind. With no other options, everyone pushed forward together, adding four promising schools (BYU, UCF, Cincinnati and Houston) and stretching its boundaries from the Rocky Mountains to Disney World.
No, the Big 12 is not the big-money Big Ten or SEC. It isn’t staring at extinction either, though.
Now it is the Pac-12 reeling from the losses of USC and UCLA to the Big Ten. And now it is the Big 12, playing from a position of unexpected strength, that can be the aggressor.
“We’re in a great place,” commissioner Brett Yormark said Wednesday. “The question is, ‘Where do we go next?’”
For Yormark, that is a legit question. He doesn’t know. He spoke Wednesday at Big 12 media days in Arlington, Texas, despite not officially taking over his new job until Aug. 1. He comes from an executive role at Jay Z’s entertainment agency Roc Nation and has previous stops in the NBA and NASCAR.
His newness to college athletics was obvious in some of the details he clearly didn’t understand or avoided in his answers. No matter, he can catch up on that.
The league needs a leader, a strategist, a visionary. Yormark may be just that.
This will be a trial by fire and nothing is more important for the Big 12 than finding as much revenue as possible to close the gap with the far wealthier SEC and Big Ten.
And nothing adds more value than possible expansion — which can drive up television, media and marketing rights.
“The Big 12 is open for business,” Yormark said.
Yormark said he’s received plenty of calls, but he also repeatedly cautioned that any expansion has to be “additive and not dilutive.” That means if there is going expansion, it will almost certainly focus on current Pac-12 schools.
The obvious candidates are Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado (an old Big 8/12 mainstay). These are not only bigger brands, markets and fan bases that can add value to the Big 12’s upcoming media rights deals, but also decimate the Big 12’s most direct competitor for television network interest … the Pac-12.
Right now five major college rights deals are coming up in the next few years. The Big Ten is by far the most valuable. Then comes the Pac-12, Big 12, Notre Dame home games and eventually the College Football Playoff, which will exist in some form.
Maybe nothing generates more money for the Big 12 than taking the Pac-12 off the table as a viable entity … thus limiting supply to increase demand.
It’s cutthroat and non-congenial — and a bit depressing — but at this point it is also the reality of college athletics.
As Jay-Z might put it: Yormark is a businessman; he’s going to do business, man.
Would the Big 12 do it? Can it? Can it lure those six schools, or even a couple of them thus setting off a string of dominoes, by selling stability and commonality? Or can the Pac-12 regroup, hold off these great plains poachers, and stick together?
It is the latest in a slow-burning skirmish between these two conferences that dates back to 2011 when Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott considered adding Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
Washington and Oregon are desperate to get to the Big Ten, per numerous sources in college athletics. However, right now — and this, like shifting tectonic plates, could change at any moment — the Big Ten isn’t expanding past 16 teams.
Does Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado want to hitch their conference membership to two schools who, if asked, would bail as soon as possible and return the Pac-12 to uncertainty?
Or would those four schools prefer to get with the Big 12 that wants and needs them while serving as geographic and football fits?
That’s the Big 12 sales pitch. To up the ante, would the Big 12 consider offering a deal to the six Pac-12 schools that they can exit the league early if the Big Ten actually comes calling? There might be some fee, of course, but it could be manageable. The Pac-12, which needs a long-term commitment, might not be able to match that.
Such a proposal might appeal to Washington and Oregon, who could continue to play big-time football but have an out if they ever get their dream date.
The Big 12 might seem a bit desperate, but this is a risk assessment. The Big Ten might never come for Washington and Oregon and are even less likely to come for the other four schools.
In the short term — which is when the Big 12 needs to get as much media revenue as possible — it would bring in “additive” programs while also wiping out a competitor for television dollars.
“We will leave no stone unturned to drive value for the conference,” Yormark said, speaking in general. “Exploration and optionality is at the forefront of what we are focused on … Everything we do must create momentum for these [media rights] negotiations.”
Everything.
One year after being the hunted, the Big 12 is doing the hunting; this time with a new, potentially aggressive, boss at the helm.

Heatwave: People urged to stay hydrated and out of the sun
- Published
People are being urged to stay safe with temperatures set to reach up to 38C (100F) in the West Country.
A red extreme heat warning issued by the Met Office on Monday and Tuesday includes parts of the Cotswolds, including Moreton-in-Marsh.
NHS Gloucestershire said the warning highlighted the health risks for everyone, not only the vulnerable.
It recommended drinking plenty of water and staying out of the sun between 11:00-15:00 BST.
The NHS is asking people to keep an eye on family members, friends and neighbours to see if they need support.
Dr Andy Seymour, chief medical officer at NHS Gloucestershire said: "Extreme heat can bring real health risks to the public, we would like to take this opportunity to remind residents of steps that they can take, whilst also reducing potential pressure on the local healthcare system.
"Our health and care services are incredibly busy all year round, but spells of extreme weather can have a significant impact."
The advice includes:
- Drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding alcohol
- Walking in the shade, applying sunscreen and wearing a wide-brimmed hat if going out
- Never leaving anyone in a closed, parked vehicle, especially infants, young children, vulnerable adults, or animals
- Avoiding physical exertion during the hottest parts of the day
As well as the red warning, an amber warning remains in place across most of England, which will mean substantial changes in working practices and daily routines, the Met Office said.
Bath and North East Somerset Council said it will be working with homelessness agencies to minimise risk to rough sleepers, and road works and bin collections will be made earlier in the day when it is cooler.
Councillor Dine Romero said the council's housing team will be offering water and sunscreen to "people without shelter" and reminding them "of the dangers of extreme heat, particularly when combined with alcohol".
Cabinet member for transport Manda Rigby said: "Please follow safety advice and consider things like checking on vulnerable friends, family and neighbours to make sure they are OK."
Somerset County Council's gritters will be made available to treat road surfaces which may be damaged in the heat.
Road temperatures could become high enough for the asphalt to soften and melt, making the road surface unstable and potentially hazardous, the council said.
"We'll be monitoring the situation carefully and our teams are prepared and ready to head out to any trouble spots so they can be dealt with swiftly," said councillor Mike Rigby.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service is asking residents and visitors to take care with the dry conditions meaning that fires on open land can spread quickly, severely damaging woodland and wildlife.
It urged people to avoid using barbeques, campfires and bonfires, extinguish cigarettes properly and report any fires immediately after getting to a safe space.
Group manager Graham Kewley said: "The exceptional weather that is forecast for the coming days means that we all need to take care when out and about.
"We'd also remind anyone heading out in the car to make sure they have some bottled water with them - it doesn't take much to cause traffic congestion, and being stuck in a hot car unexpectedly in these conditions can quickly lead to dehydration."
Train disruption expected
Great Western Railway (GWR) has warned passengers to prepare for disruption, with journeys likely to last longer and some services being cancelled at short notice.
Track temperatures are expected to reach in excess of 50°C (122F), which means blanket speed restrictions will be put in place.
"Passengers travelling over the next few days should take some sensible precautions, like bringing extra water, allow plenty of time for their journey and check their train is running before leaving home," said GWR's Richard Rowland.
Network Rail's Dan Collins said: "Our team of engineers has been busy identifying the parts of the railway most at risk and have completed a number of measures to mitigate the impact of the high temperatures including painting the metal rails white to reduce the temperature and tensioning the rails to prevent misalignment."

The Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr Alan Kyerematen has said that the peaceful and well-organised nature of the Annual National Delegates Conference of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is a big win for the party.
The Conference, which was held on Saturday July 16 through Sunday July 17 was used to elect new national officers to run the affairs of the NPP.
They are;
- Mr. Stephen Ntim- National Chairman
2. Vice Chairman- Danquah Smith Buttey
3. Rita Asobayire- 2nd Vice Chairman
4. Alhaji Masawuud – 3rd Vice Chairman
5. Mr. Justin Frimpong Koduah- General Secretary
6. Henry Nana Boakye- National Organiser
7. Kate Gyamfua-National Women Organiser
8. National Nasara Coordinator- Abdul Aziz Haruna Futah
9. National Youth Organiser-Salam Mohammed Mustafa
10. Treasurer – Dr Charles Dwamena
Mr. Kyerematen urged those who lost to remain steadfast and work towards building the party.
“We need every hand on board to build the party in the quest to secure victory by breaking the 8,” he said.
Mr. Kyerematen asked the newly sworn-in executive to work to ensure even greater unity and inclusiveness in the party, “as we march forward to ‘break the 8’ in 2024.”
He congratulated Mr. Stephen Ntim, who won the Chairmanship race and Justin Frimpong Kodua, the new General Secretary as well as the other executives for their hard-won victory.
“I encourage our new party leadership to ensure newness, attractiveness, and hope in our great party and again urge for greater inclusiveness to foster true unity,” he said in a message to the new National Executive.
The Trade and Industry Minister advised the new executive to quickly get to work and embrace members of the party who did not vote for them so that “they don’t turn their disappointment into apathy.”
“The party is bigger than all of us. It will be bad for the party if we allowed the results of the election to become the reason to create disunity. We are all patriots and must remain so,” he urged. | https://www.adomonline.com/outcome-of-delegates-conference-a-win-for-npp-alan-kyerematen/ | 2022-07-18T06:13:08Z | https://www.adomonline.com/outcome-of-delegates-conference-a-win-for-npp-alan-kyerematen/ | false | 1 |
