Louisville Metro police were called to the 1400 block of Dixie Highway around 10:25 p.m. Friday. The first officers to arrive found a woman with a stab wound to the neck.
The injured woman was rushed to University Hospital where she udnerwent surgery. LMPD says she is in critical but stable condition.

The report says officers had to use “less lethal means” to get Dandridge to drop the knife. Police say he continued to resist attempts to be placed into handcuffs.
Dandridge was found to have a bloody knife and the bike witnesses said he was riding just before the attack. Police also say that Dandridge was recorded on surveillance video going south on Dixie Highway.

By Milwaukee Courier Staff
With the Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate quickly approaching, voters are making their final decision on who they will choose to challenge incumbent Republican Senator Ron Johnson this fall. As the race comes into its final stretch, candidates are releasing their slates of endorsements and making their case to voters across the state.
Alex Lasry, a Milwaukee Bucks executive on leave, has lined up support from most of the prominent black elected officials who have endorsed in the race despite the fact his opponent, Mandela Barnes, is Wisconsin’s first Black Lt. Governor. Recent public polling by Marquette University has shown that Barnes and Lasry are virtually tied in the Democratic Primary coming up on August 9th.
Lasry has garnered the endorsements of key Black Democrats, including Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, State Assembly Assistant Minority Leader Kalan Haywood Jr., Wisconsin Legislative Black Caucus Chair Shelia Stubbs; as well as other members of the state legislature, local elected officials, and key Democratic Party and community leaders.
Lasry’s website also lists endorsements from Milwaukee Common Council Members Nikiya Harris, Ashanti Hamilton, and Khalif Rainey; Democratic National Committee Representatives Martha Love and Khary Penebaker; former Milwaukee Mayor Marvin Pratt and Former Milwaukee Common Council President Willie Hines.
While Lasry has earned the majority of support from local Black leaders, Barnes has received the endorsement of Milwaukee Congresswoman Gwen Moore and support from local officials in out-state cities and villages.
“Alex has focused on earning the support of people that are here in our communities working at the ground level to improve the lives of Wisconsinites, ‘’ said Lasry’s Campaign Manager, Garren Randolph. “These leaders have worked with Alex, they know about his track record of delivering real results, and that’s why they’ve endorsed his campaign.”
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said he is backing Lasry because Lasry’s “bold vision to move Wisconsin forward is what we need to keep our communities safe and beat Ron Johnson in November.”
The Democratic Primary Election for the United States Senate is Tuesday, August 9th, 2022. The winner of this primary will face off against incumbent Republican Senator Ron Johnson in November. | https://themadisontimes.themadent.com/article/alex-lasry-lines-up-support-from-key-black-leaders-ahead-of-primary/ | 2022-07-18T17:38:58Z | https://themadisontimes.themadent.com/article/alex-lasry-lines-up-support-from-key-black-leaders-ahead-of-primary/ | true | 2 |
Europe’s energy crisis will cost you $200B — probably more
It's a falling chain of energy dominoes — one in which each tile is worth many billions of euros. A failed utility here, a nation's supply there. When the dust settles, the total bill for rescuing the European energy market this winter will easily top $200 billion.
This may sound flippant, and it's admittedly a rough estimate. But the calculus is conservative and based on what we know today. It doesn't cover the worst-case scenario of both Russia fully shutting down natural gas supply to Europe and a colder-than-average winter.
Very few politicians seem to grasp with the magnitude of the coming crisis and its costs, with Emmanuel Macron of France and Olaf Scholz of Germany being among the only ones that appear to get it now. (The rest, in many cases, remain distracted by domestic politics.) The European Union has called for an emergency meeting of energy ministers later this month. But this should precede a larger heads-of-government summit focused on energy before the summer break.
The EU will have to decide on a big energy savings program, including a public campaign to support it, and make clear that nations will help each other by sharing the little gas that will be available. This means inviting the UK, Switzerland and Norway to the table in Brussels too.
As forward natural gas and electricity prices continue to climb, more European utilities and energy retailers will struggle. Consider Germany, where the one-year forward electricity contract surged last week to an all-time high of more than 350 euros ($352) per megawatt hour, up 750% from an average of 41 euros between 2010 and 2020. Natural gas prices for 2023 in Europe have surged recently, too.
The only chance of survival for the utilities is to pass the huge jump in wholesale prices onto their customers. But that only moves the bailout down the chain, as households and businesses would then face unaffordable bills and need government help.
Ultimately, taxpayers will bear the cost — either directly and immediately, via higher retail power and gas prices, or later, and over the years, via higher taxes to pay for the bailouts. European governments should be upfront about the costs: They can win the argument that this is money well spent to stop Vladimir Putin.
Let's start from the utility side. Germany's Uniper SE, the biggest buyer of Russian gas, has all but failed. It recently asked for a government bailout, and preliminary estimates put the bill at 10 billion euros. That's likely to prove conservative. Electricite de France SA has failed as a reliable producer of electricity and needs help. Paris, which already owns a majority stake, will renationalize the rest, at a cost of at least 8 billion euros.
And Uniper and EDF are just the tip of the iceberg — two utilities among the dozens that serve more than 200 million households in the EU and UK. The majority perhaps will weather the storm. But many others are going to need help. At the very least, they will require state-backed loans and other government guarantees to buy super-expensive gas in the spot market to replace the loss of Russian gas. At worst, they will need to be nationalized, if only temporarily.
The state-backed loans aren't trivial. Earlier this month, the Czech government gave the country's state-controlled utility CEZ an emergency loan of 3 billion euros. That's for a company that serves a country of little more than 10 million people. The German government, via its state-owned bank KwF, has already given 15 billion euros in loans to the country's gas-market operator to buy gas and fill up storage ahead of winter. Whether those loans will ever be repaid is a question mark.
Now let's look at the households. The UK is paradigmatic of the problem. In February, London announced a multi-billion-pound bailout to cushion the impact of a 54% increase in the country's retail energy cap — a limit on how much utilities can charge families per year for electricity and gas. Back then, the price cap was rising from 1,277 pounds ($1,512) to 1,971 pounds per year, effective April 1. From October, the price cap is set to jump to about 3,300 pounds per year. The near 70% increase is set to be announced in early August.
Yet the median pre-tax annual household income in the UK is £31,770. That means a typical household will spend more than 10% of its income paying for electricity and gas — that's the standard definition of energy poverty. Without government money, families will default on their bills, creating a debt problem for their energy providers. Either London bails out the families, or it has to bail out the utilities.
The likely size of the British government's help? Earlier this year, a £693 increase in the price cap triggered a £9.1 billion handout. Back-of-the-envelop math suggests the £1,300 or so increase that's coming would trigger a 17 billion-pound bailout.
Factor in just these known examples, and a $200 billion bill in European bailouts, nationalizations, state-backed loans and the like doesn't sound that flippant anymore.
And the problem can get a lot worse very quickly. Again, consider Uniper. Because Russian President Vladimir Putin has cut gas supply to Germany by about 60%, Uniper is losing about 30 million euros every day from having to buy the same gas in the spot market. That's about 10 billion euros per year — roughly the cost of what the German government is currently planning to spend to keep it afloat. If Putin completely shuts down the flow, the utility's daily losses will jump to about 100 million euros a day, or more than 35 billion per year. The government will have to provide that sum if it wants to keep people's power on.
If the utilities are allowed to pass higher gas costs onto the consumers, Goldman Sachs reckons that European households will have to pay 470 euros per month for electricity and gas, up 290% from the typical cost in mid-2020. That's clearly unaffordable to many, perhaps most, and a much bigger bailout will be needed to help consumers get by.
Next winter will be expensive. The only question now is just how much it'll be.

Al-Haj Textile’s shares soar unusually
The share price of Al-Haj Textile Mills has seen an unusual rise of 15% in around two weeks until 7 July without any price-sensitive information.
On 19 June, the share price jumped to Tk131.9 from Tk114.9 each until the company snapped its 15-day streak of gaining.
The shares have since been on the downward trajectory and closed at Tk128.7 each on Monday, a 0.69% or Tk0.9 decline over the previous trading session.
On 17 July, the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) sent a query to the company about the recent unusual price hikes.
In its reply, the company said there was no undisclosed price-sensitive information for the recent unusual price hike and increase in the volume of shares in recent times.
Al-Haj Textile Mills, which got listed on the stock market in 1983, now stays in the "B" category.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2021-22, its revenue more than doubled to Tk28.49 crore from Tk11.89 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
Despite a big jump in revenue, its profit declined by 20% to Tk66.89 lakh due to the payment of Tk2.87 crore interest against its long-term loans.
In fiscal 2020-21, the company paid a 1% cash dividend to its shareholders. | https://www.tbsnews.net/economy/stocks/al-haj-textiles-shares-soar-unusually-460514 | 2022-07-18T17:45:39Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/economy/stocks/al-haj-textiles-shares-soar-unusually-460514 | false | 1 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Millions of dollars worth of gems and jewelry were stolen in an armored truck robbery last week in Southern California, authorities said Sunday.
The Brink’s truck was robbed in the early morning on July 11 near Los Angeles, said Dana Callahan, a spokeswoman for the security company.
The merchandise had been loaded onto the truck late on July 10 following an exhibit hosted by the International Gem and Jewelry Show in San Mateo, south of San Francisco, said Brandy Swanson, the group’s director. It was going to an event at the Pasadena Convention Center just northeast of Los Angeles, she said.
Swanson said between 25 and 30 bags were taken, containing an unknown number of individual pieces. She said 18 victims were reporting more than $100 million in losses. Callahan said it was less than $10 million.
“According to the information the customers provided to us before they shipped their items, the total value of the missing items is less than $10 million,” Brink’s said in a statement. “We are working with law enforcement, and we will fully reimburse our customers for the value of their assets that were stolen, in accordance with the terms of our contract.”
Laura Eimiller, spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Los Angeles, said the robbery was in the desert city of Lancaster in northern LA County. Eimiller said the bureau agency was working with local authorities, but she could not immediately provide more information.
A dispatcher with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which patrols Lancaster, didn’t have information about the investigation on Sunday.
Swanson said vendors who travel between jewelry shows typically underinsure their merchandise because they can’t afford to insure it fully.
“That’s where the discrepancy comes in. These are mom-and-pop operators,” Swanson said. “They’re devastated. Some of these people have lost their entire livelihoods.”
The International Gem and Jewelry show hosts about 45 shows nationwide per year, she said. | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/business/ap-business/millions-in-jewels-stolen-from-armored-truck-in-california/ | 2022-07-18T17:50:26Z | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/business/ap-business/millions-in-jewels-stolen-from-armored-truck-in-california/ | false | 59 |
President Joe Biden is back in Washington this week after his first trip to the Middle East while in office. Although Biden is no stranger to the region and its complexities, the stakes were high.
One of his biggest challenges, however, is waiting for him back home: backlash over visiting Saudi Arabia and sitting down with Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
A U.S. intelligence report found that MBS ordered the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and outspoken critic of the Saudi government. Saudi Arabia punishes dissenting voices and has a poor record on women’s rights.
During a presidential debate in 2019, Biden said he would crack down on Saudi leaders for their human rights abuses. That was candidate Biden in 2019. But in 2022, President Biden made the trip to what he calls a more secure and integrated Middle East.
So, what changed? And was the trip worth it?

IRVINE, Calif., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California private equity firm IRA Capital ("IRA") is pleased to announce the acquisition of two medical office buildings totaling 21,000 square feet predominantly occupied by Scripps Health in Vista, California. Scripps Health is a $2.9 billion private, nonprofit, integrated health system in San Diego that is ranked among the top 15 health systems in the nation. The buildings are located at 902 and 916 Sycamore Avenue within a 4-building medical office park. One of the buildings is 100% leased to Scripps as a state-of-the art radiation therapy center, and the other houses a Scripps oncology clinic in addition to other leading imaging/diagnostics providers including Tri-City Pet CT and Quest Diagnostics.
The acquisition of the Scripps buildings represents IRA's third medical office acquisition in the San Diego region within the past year. In December 2021, IRA acquired another property within the same 4-building complex that is 100% leased to UC San Diego Health on a long-term lease. IRA is working on a comprehensive capital and leasing program to fill the limited vacancy in one of the buildings and has engaged Cushman & Wakefield's medical leasing team to spearhead the effort.
IRA Capital continues to be among the most active private healthcare real estate investors in the country. According to IRA Capital co-founder Amer Kasm, "The radiation oncology practice at this location has operated at this facility since 1991, and Scripps' continued investment in the facility demonstrates its long-term commitment to providing high-quality oncology care services in Northern San Diego. This latest acquisition is representative of IRA's strategy of aligning with the top-tier health systems like Scripps and supporting their efforts in delivering high quality patient-centric healthcare."
IRA Capital is a Southern-California based private equity firm founded in 2010 that invests capital for its own account and on behalf of its co-investment partners, which include pension funds, institutions, family offices, and individuals. IRA invests in commercial real estate assets throughout the United States, with a primary focus on the medical/healthcare real estate sector. Headquartered in Irvine California, IRA has acquired over seven million square feet of property across 30 states, valued in excess of $3 Billion.

Gebreslase of Ethiopia finishes strong, wins world marathon
Gotytom Gebreslase of Ethiopia patiently tucked behind her Kenyan rival until late in the race before surging ahead and sprinting to the win in the women’s marathon at the world championships on Monday.
Gebreslase’s finished the fast and flat course in a championship-record time of 2 hours, 18 minutes, 11 seconds. She held off Judith Jeptum Korir, who did most of the work late in the race, by nine seconds.
Lonah Chemtai Salpeter, the Kenyan-born runner who represents Israel, earned the bronze medal. Sara Hall led a strong showing by the Americans with a fifth-place finish.
It’s now back-to-back wins for Ethiopia in the world marathon on the streets of Eugene and Springfield. Tamirat Tola won the day before in a championship-record time as well.
Korir and Gebreslase pulled away from the field around the 17-mile mark (27 kilometers) and soon after stretched the gap to nearly a minute. Korir appeared to grow more and more agitated as she did most of the work with Gebreslase content to tuck in behind her. Korir kept motioning for Gebreslase to help set the blistering pace.
The Ethiopian runner stayed put until a downhill section with about six minutes remaining in the race. She quickly surged ahead and sped away.
On a crisp 50-degree Fahrenheit (10 Celsius) morning, Gebreslase broke the championship record of 2:20:57 set by Paula Radcliffe of Britain in 2005.
The lead pack took off quickly and left many in the 40-runner field behind early on. The race changed complexion around the 121-mile mark (19 kilometers) when defending champion Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya dropped back and soon after dropped out.
The 39-year-old Hall got stronger and stronger throughout the race to finish in 2:22:10. Emma Bates took seventh, while American women’s marathon record holder and real-estate agent Keira D’Amato was eighth.
D’Amato was a late replacement for Molly Seidel, who captured a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics last summer. Seidel recently posted on Instagram she was focusing on her mental health and healing her hip.
Joan Benoit Samuelson, the 1984 Olympic marathon winner, started the field on their way along along the three-loop course that proved to be extremely fast. The racers cruised through a scenic route that crossed over the Willamette River and by Pre’s Trail, a bark running trail that honors University of Oregon track and field icon Steve Prefontaine.

Writing in capital letters to express their anger, they put: ‘JUST DON’T TAKE DOGS OUT IN THIS HEAT.’
It is not yet known if the dog was harmed in the incident. Metro.co.uk has contacted the Barnet MPS/North West BCU for more information.
Just hours before the same police department had issued a warning, saying: ‘Never leave your dog alone in a car on a warm day. #DogsDieInHotCars’.
Writing on Twitter, they had posted a link to a page on the RSPCA website offering advice on what to do if you see a dog in a car on a warm day.
It also came hours after a retired police officer posted a picture of an infrared thermometer showing temperatures of 59.5°C in his car.
He wrote: ‘Interior of my car at 11am. Not even the hottest part of the day yet.
‘Hope none of my old colleagues need to break into a car today due to an irresponsible dog owner.’
He later reposted the Barnet MPS’s tweet, saying: ‘Spoke too soon…’

QUINCY — The Blessing Health System announced it is among the first providers in the country use a new device to detect lung cancer.
Monarch by Auris Health allows doctors to conduct robotic bronchoscopy. This advanced lung examination can lead to earlier and more-accurate diagnoses of small and hard-to-reach tumors near the edges of the lungs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently cleared the technology for use.
During robotic bronchoscopy, doctors use a hand-held controller to direct an endoscope — a flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it — throughout the lungs, guided by computer-assisted navigation based on 3-D models of the patient’s own lung anatomy. Robotic bronchoscopy delivers improved reach, vision, and control when compared to the non-robotic method.
More than 90% of people diagnosed with lung cancer do not survive the disease, in part because it is often found at an advanced stage.
“Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, in part because it has no symptoms in its early stages,” said Dr. Umama Adil, a Blessing Health pulmonologist. “Because robotic bronchoscopy provides improved reach, vision and control, it holds potential to help us to make a diagnosis earlier.”
Adil added other diagnostic options currently available for lung cancer have limitations in accuracy, safety, or invasiveness that can lead to false positives, false negatives or side effects such as a collapsed lung and hemorrhage, which may increase health care costs and extend hospital stays.
“We are excited about the promise of robotic bronchoscopy to offer a more hopeful future for our patients with lung cancer,” she said. | https://www.whig.com/lifestyles/health/new-device-at-blessing-helps-detect-lung-cancer-earlier/article_17115ab2-06b7-11ed-a2d9-0b64f4aa00a5.html | 2022-07-18T18:06:29Z | https://www.whig.com/lifestyles/health/new-device-at-blessing-helps-detect-lung-cancer-earlier/article_17115ab2-06b7-11ed-a2d9-0b64f4aa00a5.html | false | 1 |
Dodgers Manger Dave Roberts Left in the Dark Because of MLB Streaming
1. I’ve made it clear that I think Major League Baseball’s exclusive streaming deals are bad for the game.
The league likes to say the streaming deals are in place to help grow the game. The truth is, the streaming deals are in place so the league can make as much money as possible.
Halfway through the season, we haven’t seen much evidence of the exclusive streaming deals being a smash hit for MLB. AppleTV+, which airs games on Friday nights, and Peacock, which airs games on Sunday mornings, haven’t released any viewership numbers.
However, we’ve seen plenty of fans express frustration with not knowing where games are airing and not being able to watch games on the streaming services.
It’s not just fans, now, either. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts explained on Saturday that he didn’t watch any of the MLB Futures Game played that night because the TVs in the clubhouses don’t have Peacock, where the game aired exclusively.
I know that some of you reading this are getting ready to fire off an email or tweet to me to say that Roberts 1) could’ve watched the game on a laptop or iPad, or 2) could’ve had someone in the clubhouse hook up an Amazon Fire TV Stick or Apple TV box to the clubhouse TV, or 3) Roberts is 50 and it’s his fault he didn’t know how to access the game.
All of those things are true, but the point is that MLB is making harder for people to find games and watch games, and that is the last thing the sport needs.
2. Speaking of problems with streaming services for sports fans, ESPN+ is raising the monthly fee for its product from $6.99 a month to $9.99 a month.
3. In the latest installment of someone apologizing for something that does not warrant an apology, Spurs rookie Jeremy Sochan had to do a mea culpa because he said the first thing he thinks of when he hears the name Russell Westbrook is “bricks.”

The University of St Andrews wants permission to add the installation, plus a flower bed.
It has submitted a planning application to Fife Council outline its proposal.
The memorial would be in the quad on, South Street which has buildings dating from the mid 16th century, with major reconstruction in the early 19th century.
Supporting documents lodged with the application state that the site is a popular open space in St Andrews with the quad now dominated by the large holm oak.
It features memorial benches and a statue of Bishop Wardlaw in the southern end of the quad.
The site chosen for the urn is a flower bed, formed with dressed and carved stones from earlier downtakings.
It also lies within the town’s conservation area.
If councillors give the go-ahead, work would take place in late summer/early autumn. | https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/politics/council/memorial-urn-planned-for-historic-st-marys-quad-in-st-andrews-3772713 | 2022-07-18T18:07:08Z | https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/politics/council/memorial-urn-planned-for-historic-st-marys-quad-in-st-andrews-3772713 | false | null |

Ireland is to require refugees travelling to the State from “safe” European countries to hold visas, citing “abuse” of the system.
In a statement, the Government - which signed off on the move following an incorporeal Cabinet meeting on Monday - said it had been agreed to “protect the integrity” of the immigration system.
It means that people who have been granted refugee status in other countries can still apply to travel to Ireland, but will need a visa to do so. It will involve temporarily suspending the operation of a Council of Europe Agreement for 12 months.
The agreement in question abolished visa requirements for affected refugees when they travel from a country designated as safe under its terms, with governments instead issuing convention travel documents which allowed the refugees to travel to other signatory countries without a visa or prior clearance if the purpose of the journey was solely for a visit of up to three months.
The Government is citing Article 7 of the agreement for the suspension, which will come into effect from noon on Tuesday. The visa-free travel arrangements for Ukrainian nationals will be unaffected.
The International Protection Office (IPO) has been receiving applications from some people who already have been granted refugee status by other states, the Government statement said. The IPO checks every applicant over the age of 14 against a European database that stores the fingerprints of international protection applicants or people who have crossed a border illegally.
Ireland is notified if a person who has been granted international protection has already been granted the status in another EU member state. From January 2021 to January 2022, there were 760 notifications of someone in receipt of international protection in another state. Of those, 479 came from EU member states whose beneficiaries of international protection are visa exempted. That represents seven per cent of the 6,494 applications for international protection in that period.
Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said the decision was not “taken lightly” but that where there is evidence that there may be abuse of such systems, “the Government must act swiftly to mitigate the risks”.
“The suspension of the operation of the agreement is temporary and will be reviewed in a year’s time.”
Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney said the decision will “assist in the protection of Ukrainians, and those of other nationalities who are fleeing conflict, as it will lessen the incidence of abuse of this system. This step is not unprecedented: other council of Europe member states have taken similar action previously.” | https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/07/18/visa-free-travel-for-refugees-coming-to-ireland-from-safe-european-countries-to-be-suspended/ | 2022-07-18T18:15:40Z | https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/07/18/visa-free-travel-for-refugees-coming-to-ireland-from-safe-european-countries-to-be-suspended/ | true | 1 |

Key factors to achieve data security in cloud computing
Enterprises face a variety of data security concerns when deploying assets to the cloud. But there are some guidelines you can follow to make sure your assets are protected.
Just about every company uses some sort of cloud computing today, and it's easy to understand why. The cloud increases scalability, flexibility and collaboration -- often while cutting costs and improving efficiency.
The cloud is not without its challenges, however -- especially when it comes to data security.
Why is cloud data security important?
Data security in cloud computing is critical, regardless of whether it is in public clouds or private clouds. Compliance and privacy violations, cloud service provider (CSP) breaches or exposure and accidental misconfigurations of cloud services and data storage objects that could lead to data breaches and illicit data access are just a few of the many data security issues enterprises confront when they deploy applications and sensitive information into the cloud. Other threats that also affect on-premises environments, such as insider threats, also affect cloud computing security.
In order for organizations to reap the benefits of the cloud, they must be aware of the top cloud data security threats and challenges and how to mitigate them, as well as general and SaaS-, PaaS- and IaaS-specific cloud security considerations.
Top cloud data security threats and challenges
In its updated "Top Threats to Cloud Computing" research, the Cloud Security Alliance cited 11 key cloud security risks, among them the following three pertaining specifically to data:
- insufficient credential and key management
- accidental cloud data disclosure/exposure
- cloud storage data exfiltration
Data storage is a particularly thorny issue. Cloud providers employ a variety of data storage options depending on the types of cloud services in use. SaaS providers usually have large-scale storage with database implementations -- in many cases, with little or no control over data protection afforded to customers -- whereas PaaS and IaaS providers often offer individual virtual disk volumes, along with a variety of cloud-native blob, database and large-scale storage resources.
Additionally, enterprises have to choose among an assortment of controls, most of which are specific to the cloud service types and CSPs they use. Any cloud data security strategy must include the following:
- evaluation of encryption types and availability;
- encryption key management services and options available within the cloud;
- data lifecycle and archival options;
- backup capabilities;
- data loss prevention (DLP); and
- data storage monitoring.
Key components to ensure data security in the cloud
When devising a strategy for data security in cloud computing, keep the following general cloud security considerations in mind, as well as some specific SaaS, PaaS and IaaS considerations.
Multifactor authentication for every cloud
For all cloud environments, require multifactor authentication (MFA) for any privileged users accessing cloud services or performing administrative activities, at minimum. Ideally, require MFA for any end user accessing the cloud. Keep permissions and security controls up to date, and ensure security measures are documented in a cloud security policy.
Ideally, all SaaS cloud access should be brokered through a cloud access security broker, if possible, to enable DLP, content filtering, malware protection and other controls.
Cloud security posture management (CSPM) and SaaS security posture management (SSPM) tools can help enterprises keep a close eye on data storage configurations and whether data is being exposed.
SaaS data security
For SaaS specifically, prepare to be underwhelmed with the number of sound data security options available to configure and manage.
In SaaS environments, most data security is managed by the CSP itself, and it's important to carefully review any controls reports and shared responsibility attestations. Logging in SaaS environments is notoriously challenging -- or even nonexistent. In some cases, CSPM and SSPM software may help.
PaaS- and IaaS-specific data security
For PaaS and IaaS providers, some considerations for data security in cloud computing include the following:
- Encryption. Look for cloud storage services that offer the ability to generate 256-bit AES keys or better, or import them for bring your own key. Any encryption key management should be focused on strong encryption standards, such as AES, as well as strong cipher suites. Many leading PaaS and IaaS offerings now include automatic encryption of all storage, which is fantastic.
- Key management. Check for services that offer support for key management standards, such as OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol. This is helpful if your goal is create a hybrid key management strategy between on-premises infrastructure -- usually with hardware security modules -- and cloud key storage and management.
- Identity and Access Management. Ensure any cloud storage environment supports strong identity and privilege policy controls, as well as data lifecycle controls. Ideally, granular privileges and integrated access controls, including MFA, are supported, along with selective controls related to data tagging, tracking and archiving.
- Logging. Enable detailed and extensive logging for all storage environments or types using native cloud logging, such as AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor or Google Cloud Logging. These logs should be sent to a central storage location for processing or analysis, and security operations teams should build playbooks and workflows that prioritize data access and storage events.
Some final advice
Regardless of the deployment, carefully consider the types of cloud storage in use. SaaS options are limited, but PaaS and IaaS clouds offer a variety of cloud storage services, each with different security and protection capabilities.
Determine data store exposure on a case-by-case basis. Remember that cloud application components and services are interconnected. Exposed APIs or vulnerable web services could give malicious actors unauthorized access to cloud storage, as well as other data. | https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/tip/Key-factors-to-achieve-data-security-in-cloud-computing | 2022-07-18T18:21:30Z | https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/tip/Key-factors-to-achieve-data-security-in-cloud-computing | false | 1 |
Wales ‘records hottest day on record’ as temperatures hit 37.1C in Hawarden
Wales has provisionally recorded its hottest day on record, according to the Met Office.
The temperature reached 37.1C in Hawarden, Flintshire, on Monday afternoon.
Before this week, the previous highest temperature had been recorded as 35.2C in the same village on August 2 1990.
Earlier today, Gogerddan, near Aberystwyth on the coast of mid-west Wales, also broke the record after it hit 35.3C.
Both temperatures are yet to be fully verified.
1600 UPDATE: Hawarden in Flintshire has now provisionally reached 37.1°C
🌡️ This is the highest air temperature ever recorded in #Wales #Heatwave2022 #heatwave #hottestdayoftheyear pic.twitter.com/QjkVL9YYrV
— Met Office (@metoffice) July 18, 2022
The extreme heatwave affecting all parts of the UK has prompted a rare amber weather warning to be issued by the Met Office across Wales.
A red weather warning for heat was issued just over the border in Cheshire, England.
The public have been urged not to travel unless necessary with conditions on public transport expected to be “uncomfortable”.
The speed limit on rail lines has been limited to 90mph, reduced from 125mph, meaning journeys will take longer.
Dangers
People have also been warned to keep pets and livestock cool.
Farmers at the Royal Welsh Show near Builth Wells in Powys, the UK’s biggest agricultural event, are said to be taking measures to care for the around 8,000 animals attending.
Some are even smothering pigs in sun tan lotion, according to a BBC report.
Doctors have warned of a danger to life or potential serious illness from the blistering temperatures.
Recommended precautions include avoiding physical exercise, keeping to the shade and maintaining ventilation, drinking plenty of water and using in-date sun cream.
People have been warned against using rivers and lakes to cool off due to the dangers of swimming in open water.
Climate change
The Met Office was forecasting temperatures could break the existing UK record, of 38.7C, recorded in Cambridge in 2019, on Monday.
Or it will almost certainly fall on Tuesday, when temperatures could reach a “crazy” 41C in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
Met Office meteorologist Luke Miall said: “For a good part of eastern Wales, and England and southern Scotland, we’re looking at the 30s if not the high 30s.”
He said: “I’ve been a qualified meteorologist for 10 years, and telling people about 41C in the UK doesn’t seem real.
“It’s crazy how we are talking about these sorts of values, I’ve never seen the models coming up with these values.
“It’s been quite an eye-opener to climate change with all these temperatures in the UK.”
On Tuesday, Scotland is expected to see its hottest day on record.
The Met Office is also warning that temperatures overnight into Tuesday are holding up in the low to mid 20s in some places, and it looks likely to be the warmest night on record in the UK.
Climate change, which has pushed up global temperatures by 1.2C on pre-industrial levels, is making heatwaves longer, more intense and more likely.
Experts have warned of the need to adapt homes, cities and infrastructure in the UK for a future of more intense summer heat.
Hot air from Europe is contributing to the extreme heat in Britain, with a searing heatwave baking much of the continent, fuelling fierce wildfires in France and Spain.
The UK Health Security Agency has issued a level 4 heat-health alert – described as an “emergency” – and the UK is under its first red extreme heat warning for a large part of England, issued by the Met Office.
Britons are being urged to stay inside during the hottest period of the day, between 11am and 4pm, and wear sun cream, a hat, stay in the shade and keep hydrated with water – and there are warnings about swimming in lakes, rivers and reservoirs.
The family of Robert Hattersley, 13, of Crawcrook, who died following an incident in the River Tyne near Ovingham in Northumberland, paid tribute to the teenager, saying he “brought a smile to so many people’s faces and he will be missed by absolutely everyone who knew and loved him”.
A 16-year-old boy died after getting into difficulty in Bray Lake, near Maidenhead, Berkshire, Thames Valley Police said, while the body of a 50-year-old man was recovered from Ardsley Reservoir, between Leeds and Wakefield, on Sunday.

NEWS AMERICAS, NEW YORK, NY, Mon. July 18, 2022: About 2,000 children and Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently brought Caribbean culture to the streets of Toronto as the 2022 Toronto Caribbean Carnival returned after a two-year hiatus.
‘Kiddies for Mas,’ the Junior Carnival Parade that is part of the Toronto Caribbean Carnival month-long festivities, ran along Neilson from the Malvern Community Centre to Neilson Park in Toronto. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau helped kick off the large parade of costumed youngsters and greeted the crowds at the opening ceremony.
The ‘Kiddies’ sported several themes including, including Rome as a parent keeps the children cool on July 16, 2022. The parade included 12 Mas bands. Toronto Mayor John Tory and Deputy Mayor Michael Thompson were also on hand.
“Thank you to the young people who are out celebrating, demonstrating how happy we are all to be gathering in person once again,” Trudeau said. “Today is about them, getting out, celebrating this extraordinary community.”
Trudeau noted that it’s the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Toronto that the parade has been held.
“It has been a tough time these past two years,” Trudeau said. “We have seen a rise in anti-Black racism and in intolerance that is associated with so many of the challenges people face, and on a day like this, we get to remind ourselves what it is to be Canadian.”
Laverne Garcia, executive chair of the festival management committee, said the day was a celebration of Caribbean history and culture. The committee produces the Toronto Caribbean Carnival and Kiddies for Mas.
“What we’re doing is we’re celebrating the next generation of masqueraders that are going to be leading the carnival into the future,” she said.
“The roots are in emancipation. It’s about freedom and diversity. Especially for the children, it’s an opportunity to celebrate who they are and where they came from. Also, it also shows them a way to integrate and learn about their history and culture.” | https://cubachronicle.com/canada-pm-helps-kick-off-toronto-carnival-celebration/ | 2022-07-18T18:24:03Z | https://cubachronicle.com/canada-pm-helps-kick-off-toronto-carnival-celebration/ | true | 12 |
SAN DIEGO (AP)Merrill Kelly gave up one run in six innings and David Peralta hit a solo homer to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 3-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.
Arizona went into the All-Star break on a good note but dropped two of three games at San Diego to finish a 2-4 road trip.
”It wasn’t an easy day to play this game. We have had some tough games and tough loses but our guys just rose up and showed a lot of heart. I was really proud of them today,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. ”Merrill had a wonderful presence on the mound, he was on the attack from the first pitch onward.”
The Padres concluded their first half by losing six of their last nine games.
”Today, again, we had a chance to move a guy over and get him in. We didn’t,” San Diego manager Bob Melvin said. ”We made two more errors today and just not as clean of a game as we’d like. So, hopefully we get a little bit of distance from that and come back out after the break a little bit more fresh.”
Kelly (9-5) kept the Padres off-balance by mixing his pitches and allowed six hits while striking out five.
”The fastball command was good, the curveball was good and I actually was pretty happy I got it to the glove side of the plate today, which normally I have a problem with,” Kelly said. ”It feels good, obviously I would like to go out on a high note rather than a bad one.”
San Diego’s Luke Voit knocked Kelly out of the game with a homer to left in the seventh inning, his second in two games.
”Obviously that one to Voit, I would like to take that change-up and throw it better but overall I was pretty happy,” Kelly said. ”There is a lot that goes into going deep into games. … that means I am doing my job in my mind and that I am executing pitches and getting ahead of people.”
Joe Mantiply and Caleb Smith both worked a scoreless inning before Mark Melancon retired the Padres in order in the ninth to earn his 13th save.
Arizona led 1-0 on Peralta’s homer in the sixth off San Diego starter Mike Clevinger (2-3), who had struck Peralta out twice.
”Then in my third at-bat I just calmed myself down and put a better swing on it,” Peralta said. ”We got a win which is really good and we are going to take this all the way to the second half.”
The Diamondbacks scored two in the seventh off Padres relievers MacKenzie Gore (two walks and a single to load the bases) and Steven Wilson (walked in two runs) to take a 3-0 advantage.
”A walk is a part of this game,” Lovullo said. ”We don’t want guys to go up there to walk but I think being a good hitter and walking is just a product of good hard work and I think we did a nice job of that today.”
Clevinger worked an effective six innings, allowing four hits and striking out eight but lost his third straight start.
”We’re hungry, and I don’t think we’ve played up to our potential just yet,” Clevinger said. ”I think we’re still in the swing of it and finding it, but we’ve got the pieces, we’ve got the guys and we’re sticking strong together in the clubhouse. I think it’s going to bode well for the second half.”
Clevinger worked out of a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the fifth, striking out Alek Thomas on a high fastball to end the threat.
The Padres had a chance for an early run in the second inning when Eric Hosmer tried to score from second base on a shallow single to center by C.J. Abrams, but he was thrown out at the plate by Arizona’s Daulton Varsho to end the inning.

Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez has hailed Barcelona’s signing of Robert Lewandowski, according to a report from Gerard Romero (via Barca Universal). The Real Madrid president reportedly reached out to his Catalan counterpart Joan Laporta to congratulate him on securing the signature of the Polish goal machine.
The Madrid boss is reportedly pleased to see such an impressive player join their league, as Lewandowski's signing can boost the attention paid to La Liga. The Pole has long established himself as one of the best strikers on the planet over the last decade.
Perez, who just saw Real Madrid lift the La Liga title and Champions League trophy without much opposition from Barcelona, will welcome the arrival. The former Bayern Munich striker could offer the competition both clubs need to push each other to even more fantastic heights.
Fans will now be waiting in excitement for the La Liga season to start, with Barcelona strengthening significantly this summer. The Catalans will also welcome Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie and the re-signed Ousmane Dembele as they hope to halt the Madridistas' dominance.
Perez will however welcome the challenge and will hope his team will be able to keep the Polish striker, whose signing they also once considered, in check next season. Nevertheless, the true winner will be La Liga fans, who will get to watch the two most in-form strikers in the world: Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema.
Real Madrid and Barcelona prepare for the new season with important transfers
Both Spanish giants are currently making preparations for a friendly El Clasico set to take place at the Allegiant Stadium this coming Sunday. However, they've had very different performances in the transfer window this summer.
The Catalan giants have already added four senior players on free transfers, even before working on deals for Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. The Madrid side have had less of an impressive outing in the market, having lost out on a potential free transfer for Kylian Mbappe. They didn't falter though, snatching Antonio Rudiger on a free from Chelsea, while beating other clubs to Aurelien Tchouameni.
While Barca have arguably had more top-level signings, they will have to impress this season to give Los Blancos a run for their money in Spain. Under Xavi Hernandez's rebuild, the Catalan side will also be required to impress in the Champions League, even if they may not win it outright.

Yankees' Aaron Judge Talks Playing Catch With His Dad as a Kid: 'He's Still the Hero in My Eyes'
Aaron Judge is his dad's number one fan.
The New York Yankees' right fielder opened up to PEOPLE Friday afternoon about his relationship with his father, Wayne, and the longtime support he's received from him since he was a kid.
"He's always been my hero, always a guy I looked up to," Judge, 30, says of his dad during Yankees HOPE Week — an annual team initiative that highlights a different individual, family or organization worthy of recognition and support.
Judge — who is in the running for the American League MVP this season as he dominates the league with 33 homers in 89 games — says that playing catch with his father growing up left a major impact on his life.
"Looking back on those childhood memories, I could tell he didn't want to do it. I could tell he was tired. He'd had a long day of work," the slugger says. "But he never said no. He never complained, nothing. So for me, that's why he's still the hero in my eyes."
And while it wasn't with his own dad, Judge got to play catch with another father for HOPE Week. This year, the team honored diehard Yankees fan Dan Reischel, who in the depths of the pandemic, embarked on a project to play catch with 162 different people — the number of games in a baseball season — to create a sense of community and continue to build relationships at a time when it was safer to stay 6 feet apart.
While Judge's dad "takes the top of [his] list" as the greatest person he's ever played catch with, the MLB All-Star played catch with Reischel on Friday, along with Reischel's father and kids, on the Yankee Stadium field to finish out the 162-game pandemic project.
Judge's Yankees teammates Gerrit Cole, Anthony Rizzo, Aroldis Chapman, DJ LeMahieu, Gleyber Torres, Aaron Hicks, Michael King and Lucas Luetge — along with local youth baseball players — also joined in for a fun-filled day centered around catch and conversation.
"It's just a really special opportunity to share something so simple with a stranger," Cole tells PEOPLE of Reischel's project. "Catch is just a wonderful way to get to know different people and amazing stories."

Meanwhile, Rizzo tells PEOPLE, "It's so simple and fun. You see the joy that they have and that's the way we try to play this game all the time and sometimes we get lost in that in our own sense."
"It's so refreshing to just see the smiles," he adds.
In recognition of the spirit of Reischel's mission, the Yankees donated $10,000 to the New York City Parks Department for upkeep and improvements to Heritage Field, the site of the original Yankee Stadium. | https://people.com/sports/aaron-judge-talks-playing-catch-with-his-dad-as-a-kid-hes-still-the-hero-in-my-eyes/ | 2022-07-18T18:39:14Z | https://people.com/sports/aaron-judge-talks-playing-catch-with-his-dad-as-a-kid-hes-still-the-hero-in-my-eyes/ | false | 1 |
KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (KHON) — It was a wedding that Dillon and Riley Murphy will remember forever.
The Hawaii Island couple said they were initially concerned that Tropical Storm Darby would rain on their big day at Hulihe’e Palace in Kailua-Kona over the weekend. Darby fizzled out, but then the waves came crashing.
“And we were kind of right at the moment where we were going to start moving a couple things and, yeah, this big wall basically just showed up,” Dillon said. “And luckily there was no food in any of the containers, the cake luckily made it.”
The Murphys told KHON that everyone at the reception was also safe as well. Riley said seeing unity in the face of hardship taught her a life lesson after the water rushed in.
“And just the analogy of, you know, life and storms hit. And it’s just, it’s so important to come together and to have all of our family and our loved ones there and it just made it very special,” Riley said.
After a little cleanup and drying off, it was not the wedding the Murphys had dreamed of – they said it was even better.
“But we did end up getting some good pictures with like waves splashing up and the ceremony was beautiful,” Dillon said.
“We didn’t have our dance floor, but nobody seemed to mind, at the end of the night we were all like dancing in the mud and it was amazing,” Riley said.
“The show still went on and it was, it was a really, really fun night,” Riley said. | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/national-news/waves-crash-hawaii-island-wedding-it-was-a-blast/ | 2022-07-18T18:40:33Z | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/national-news/waves-crash-hawaii-island-wedding-it-was-a-blast/ | false | 32 |

GREENWOOD, Ind. — Three people were killed and two were wounded after a man walked into a suburban Indianapolis shopping mall and opened fire before an armed civilian shot and killed him, authorities said.
The assailant, whose name and possible motive haven’t been made public, walked into the Greenwood Park Mall with a rifle and several magazines of ammunition shortly before it closed at 6 p.m. Sunday and began firing in the food court, Greenwood police Chief Jim Ison said at a news conference.
A 22-year-old man from nearby Bartholomew County shot and killed the gunman, Ison said. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities haven’t said whether all of the victims were shot by the attacker or whether some might have been caught in the crossfire. Authorities are expected to release further details of the investigation at a news conference later Monday.
“The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began,” said Ison, who didn’t disclose details about the civilian, including whether the person was exempt from the mall’s ban on people carrying weapons on the property.
As of July 1, Indiana law allows anyone age 18 or older to carry a handgun in public except for those prohibited for reasons such as having a felony conviction, facing a restraining order or having a dangerous mental illness as determined by a court. Indiana’s Republican-dominated Legislature retained provisions in the law that allow private property owners to prohibit firearms.
The attack Sunday was just the latest in a string of mass shootings in the U.S. Schools, churches, grocery stores and a July Fourth parade near Chicago have all become killing grounds in recent months, though the country’s staggering murder rate can often be seen more clearly in individual killings that rarely make major headlines.

Four of the mall shooting victims were female and one was male, Ison said. He didn’t immediately know the sexes or ages of those who were killed. The 12-year-old girl and the other wounded person were in stable condition, he said.
Police confiscated a suspicious backpack that was in a bathroom near the food court, Ison said.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police and multiple other agencies were assisting in the investigation.
“We are sickened by yet another type of incident like this in our country,” Indianapolis Assistant Chief of Police Chris Bailey said.
Mark Myers, the mayor of Greenwood, a suburb of about 60,000 people south of Indianapolis, asked the public to pray for the victims and for first responders.
“This tragedy hits at the core of our community,” Myers said in a statement.
Greenwood Park Mall said in a statement that its grieves for the victims and praised first responders as well as the “heroic actions” of the 22-year-old who police said killed the gunman. The mall was closed Monday.
“Violence has no place in this or any other community,” the mall said.

UP sanitation worker loses job after being spotted hauling photos of PM Modi and CM Yogi in trash
A 40-year-old sanitation worker’s contract service has been terminated for allegedly carrying pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to a rubbish bin in Mathura.
Although demonstration notices were issued to the health inspector and health supervisor for not informing the health worker of the photographs of dignitaries and public representatives, an investigation was also ordered.
In his representation to the municipal corporation, sanitation worker Bobby said he was innocent because he was illiterate and did not identify the photographs, a senior municipal department official said.
Mathuras Municipal Commissioner Anunaya Jha said an inquiry committee has been set up on the matter. The committee was asked to submit its report within 48 hours. A final decision on the matter will be made after the commission of inquiry submits its report, Jha said.
According to the official, Bobby was hauling trash he picked up at a garbage collection center on Saturday. In the trash, there were photos of the PM and the CM. On the way, Bobby was intercepted by two people from Rajasthan. They made a video in which we see him carrying the trash can with photographs of the PM and CM. The photographs were removed from the trash and Bobby left the scene. The video was widely shared on social media.
An official said: “Sanitation worker Bobby’s contract was terminated because the PM and CM could be easily identified in the photos. We have considered Bobby’s representation on compassionate grounds and a decision will be made in the coming days.

NEW YORK (AP) — A fast glance at his finger told Red Sox lefty Chris Sale, sadly, all he needed to know.
Broken pinkie on his pitching hand, damaged by a line drive. Another setback in an injury-plagued year for the Boston ace, his future for the rest of the season uncertain.
Sale screamed out in pain Sunday after being struck by Aaron Hicks’ 106.7-mph liner with two outs in the first inning at Yankee Stadium. The ball deflected into right field for an RBI single that gave New York a 3-0 lead.
“One look at this finger, I knew (it was broken) immediately,” Sale said. “That feeling of just that kind of cold water rushing through your body when something like that happens. I soon as I hit the ground, I looked down, the finger is gone.”
Sale immediately ran off the field, holding up his fractured finger. He was hurt on the final day of play before the All-Star break in a game Boston lost 13-2.
Boston manager Alex Cora didn’t rule out a return for Sale this season. The seven-time All-Star was to see a hand specialist in Boston later Sunday or Monday.
The 33-year-old Sale was making his second start since returning from a fractured rib. He threw 78 pitches in five scoreless innings Tuesday at Tampa Bay, and tossed 24 pitches against the Yankees before being forced to leave.
“We really felt bad about it,” New York ace Gerrit Cole said. “It’s well documented how hard he works and what he’s had to overcome to put himself in this position.
“It’s a good thing he’s got the tenacity that he has to continue. He’s got all the high character qualities that you’re going to need to have to overcome something like this. It’s just so unfortunate that he didn’t even get a foothold before it happened,” he said.
During the Major League Baseball lockout, Sale broke a rib while working out on his own.
Sale, who is signed through 2024 in a five-year, $145 million deal, has thrown just 48 1/3 innings for the Red Sox since the end of the 2019 season.
Last season, he went 5-1 with a 3.16 ERA in nine starts in his return from Tommy John surgery.
Red Sox reliever Hirokazu Sawamura replaced Sale. Boston is 16 1/2 games behind the AL East-leading Yankees, who have the best record in the majors.

NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. (AP) — Two people have been arrested in connection with a North Carolina shooting in which one person was killed and two people were wounded, a sheriff's office said.
News outlets report deputies with the Wilkes County Sheriff’s Office went to a home in the county at around 5:30 a.m. on Sunday. Upon arriving, they found three shooting victims, one of whom was dead. A man and a woman found wounded at the scene were taken to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries, the sheriff's office said.
Police say that a burgundy Chevrolet Impala had left the scene before officers arrived, and officers with the North Wilkesboro Police Department chased the car until they stopped it.
Authorities arrested Stacy Elizabeth Miller, 33, and charged her with murder among a number of charges. James Louis Robinson, 54, was charged with murder and accessory after the fact of murder.
Miller and Robinson are jailed without bond. Both were appointed attorneys during a court appearance on Monday, but neither could be reached for comment. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/1-killed-2-wounded-in-shootings-at-North-17312566.php | 2022-07-18T18:51:04Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/1-killed-2-wounded-in-shootings-at-North-17312566.php | true | 12 |

Clients of Nashville's historic Sound Emporium studios are reminded right away that they're in elite company. Plaques commemorating the commercial success of Kenny Chesney, Kacey Musgraves and other past patrons line the hallways, and across from the reception desk is a wall of framed snapshots, taken when the likes of Vince Gill, Little Big Town, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant laid down tracks in these rooms. Among the images is a single hand-drawn doodle: five cartoon figures, with the name "Soccer Mommy" spelled out beneath them in red bubble lettering. "That was my attempt at drawing everybody in the band," Sophie Allison says. "I kind of figured it'd get taken down."
We are here exactly a year and a day after Allison wrapped the final sessions for Soccer Mommy's third album, Sometimes, Forever. Her family home is just a few streets away, and as a kid, she and her friends would pass the studio when they wandered to the neighboring Bi-Rite grocery store, too young to drive themselves to more distant freedoms. Allison describes it as "that type of place that has the legacy of hit-making, people coming here to record big records" — far removed, in other words, from the lo-fi bedroom recording of Soccer Mommy's DIY origins. Graduating to Sound Emporium puts her in the footsteps of a different kind of artist: As she notes with coolheaded pleasure, one of the albums recorded here was Taylor Swift's self-titled debut. "I grew up listening to that stuff," Allison explains, "so to be in a studio that things like that are recorded and know that you're having that same acoustics, it's a magical feeling. Like kind of anything's possible, basically."
In the half dozen years that Allison, now 25, has been making music as Soccer Mommy, her approach has seldom been considered alongside Swift's ability to zero in on small snubs and enlarge them to the scale of pop anthems. Critics have instead connected the dots to Mazzy Star, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Jesus and Mary Chain, PJ Harvey and other broody '80s and '90s predecessors who serve as clear reference points for Allison's songwriting and guitar playing. She found considerable success with Gabe Wax, a producer who has helped shape records by Beirut and The War on Drugs, on the first two Soccer Mommy albums. But in her ongoing drive to expand and cultivate her sonic vocabulary, she went further afield in the making of Sometimes, Forever, envisioning fully formed atmospheres spiraling around her songs — soundscapes grand and vivid enough to match the interior life that inspired them, and capricious enough to feel simultaneously bewitching and grotesque.
For help, Allison reached well outside her scene to Daniel Lopatin, the mischievous mind behind the experimental outfit Oneohtrix Point Never, who thought the Sound Emporium's cavernous tracking rooms and reverb chambers would enable them to get a little wild. "When we brought him in," Allison recalls, "I didn't want him to hold back and be like, 'OK, well, I'm making an indie rock record. I gotta chill out.' " Together, they and Allison's longtime bandmates tried all sorts of techniques: running everything they could through effects pedals, whipping arrangements into exquisite squalls of distortion and delay and, in the case of "newdemo" — a track with far more going on than its placeholder title suggests — weaving fragments of acoustic strumming and synthetic strings into a strangely beguiling, apocalyptic symphony.
By design, the only aspect of the new music that seems even remotely chill is Allison's vocal performance. She avoids the demonstrative, singing from postures that register as dazed, drained or pensive, which inserts a little space between the artist herself and the keen specificity of her first-person narrators. She does her most delicate singing during the eerie "Darkness Forever," which conjures Sylvia Plath's suicide in a breathy murmur: "Head in the oven didn't sound so crazy / My brain was burning, hot to the touch." Even as Allison exercises her imaginative capacity, fantasizing about the symbolic power of self-immolation, the obliteration that she yields to is a musical one, disappearing for measures at a time into her band's heaving attack.
Elsewhere, the thrill is in how she plays up the contradictions of romantic attraction and domestic partnership, lets masochism show through in expressions of devotion and ensures that the sounds and sentiments tower over her spent delivery. After opening with a meteor shower of synthesizer, "With U" settles into a hushed consideration of daily intimacy — as a source of excruciating pain in one verse, then a warm comfort in the next. When the glimmering chorus breaks through like a supernova, Allison is enveloped by its layers of synth and guitar, stricken by her all-consuming attachment, surrendering in a voice that she keeps small. "Being with you is all I can do," she cedes. "The stars and the moon can't compare / To coming undone, staring straight at the sun / Until all I can see is you there."
She describes arrangement choices like these as "mixing fantasy with reality a little bit," and that description applies to her new songwriting, too. Her breakthrough album, 2018's Clean, was comparatively sparse; 2020's color theory, on which she involved herself much more closely in the production, added splashes of watery ambience and degraded samples, another phase in her exploration of ever denser shadows. "I just feel like I'm always questioning myself, trying to figure out answers to things," she says. "Writing is a really good way of taking all of these jumbled thoughts that you have and putting them down in a concrete way." And the more that she can get out what's in her brain, in all its complexity, the more that everything feels like her.
Allison's parents, a university lab neuroscientist and an elementary school teacher, raised their children around the corner from Music Row, but didn't have industry connections — so when she got interested in performing, it was up to her to plot her own artistic path. By the fourth grade, she'd begun working up her originals with an even younger neighbor on drums, whose engineer dad recorded the young duo, called Chemical X. Allison reflects, "I was always very fascinated with being able to write this song with just me and my guitar and get to build some other stuff around it and make it into a, quote unquote, real song." Her interest in constructing musical scaffolding around her ideas outlived that band and several others; for a while, she focused on learning to tap those veins of emotion on her own, uploading the results to MySpace. After her sister recently conducted a chronological inventory of her entire iTunes library, she started sending Allison long-forgotten recordings: "She was like, 'This one is really dark. Why were you so angsty?' "
Allison had connected, on a rudimentary level, with artists like Swift and Avril Lavigne, young women using pop songcraft to speak to where they were in life. Through guitar lessons, she began developing her chops, and later auditioned to study jazz guitar and play in a swing combo at Nashville School of the Arts. She enjoyed learning the standards well enough, but improvising on her instrument wasn't her thing. By the time she became a regular at all-ages shows at 17, she'd drawn a distinction between her devotion to making music and her realistic career options. "It felt very much like, 'I've always loved playing music. Now I'm going out and getting more involved in this hobby,' " she says. "I was just another person in Nashville playing shows, pretty much."
In the Subaru wagon that served as her first tour vehicle, she drives us to the East Room — a venue she remembers as a haven for DIY acts, located in a semicircle of small businesses that also includes a goth shop and a vegan deli. Staring at a flier seeking a lead singer for a hardcore outfit and another advertising the club's 10th anniversary events, she recalls leaving her high school prom to catch the band Pujol here and, after she went off to New York University, returning to play a hometown Soccer Mommy show before embarking on a string of road dates to promote Clean. Packing the car required a Tetris-like precision: suitcases and cymbals lashed to the roof, amps, guitars and kick drum in the trunk, band members crammed next to the tom toms in the middle. "I know that sounds like the worst part," she says. "But it was kind of like you were in your own little pod. You could just lean either way and be asleep."
At the same time, the pieces of a modest infrastructure had started to come together. Buzz around the early Soccer Mommy tracks posted to Bandcamp, already adept at exposing and exploring emotional extremes and their aftermath, made way for deals with indie labels — first Orchid Tapes, then Fat Possum and finally Loma Vista, each one a step up in resources and visibility. A stable band lineup, including Allison's guitarist-partner Julian Powell, solidified, and her ardent audience grew. While she doesn't dismiss professional milestones, she's ambivalent at best, recognizing that they're as likely to multiply the conflicts between a performer's artistic and commercial ambitions as resolve them.
"I still hold that opinion about the industry and hate a lot of parts of it," she says. "But I withdrew myself from a lot of the stuff that was making me feel so bitter." These days she's handed off the curation of her social media and is more of a consciously apathetic presence at photo shoots, steeling herself against emotional investment. "I don't care about the photos," she says. "I'm not going to like them. Why put so much pressure and care on that kind of stuff when it's just going to come out as you in something someone else wanted you to wear, some angle that somebody else wanted? It doesn't really matter."
Though her career is still young, there's already ample evidence that she's honed in on her priorities: veering from a well-mapped guitar-rock path in favor of dramatic, fitful shading that suits her heightened sensitivity, refusing to invest energy in measures that would make some lesser version of her seem more knowable and digestible. She gets the most enthusiastic talking about the ways that she's sharpening her artistic vision, deepening her inquiry and elevating her recording game.
"It's like I have this new idea and I want to try to play with that for a little bit and see what we can make with it," she observes. "It makes the process of production exciting. You feel like you're doing something — at least for yourself, not for the whole world necessarily — that's innovative. You feel like you're taking yourself on a path that you haven't looked down yet."
The harshest textures on Sometimes, Forever are reserved for the grinding, glitchy track "Unholy Affliction," which lurches from an industrial feel to thrashy, punishing drumming and, eventually, the momentary disintegration of the ensemble altogether. The band's playing is ominous and overlaid with the crackling of what sounds like a Geiger counter as Allison makes her weary complaint: "I'm tired of the money, and all of the talking at me." But the words are sharpened by self-knowledge, coming from an artist determined to remember who she really is and what she's really after. She is alone with her sludgy guitar chords, even the reverb stripped away from her voice, when she delivers the pivotal line: "I'm barely a person, mechanically working." In that instant, the song and the singer couldn't be less alike.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, said Monday he plans to retire by the end of President Joe Biden's term in January 2025.
Fauci, 81, was appointed director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1984, and has led research in HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, Ebola, Zika and the coronavirus. He has advised seven presidents and is Biden's chief medical adviser.
In an interview with Politico, Fauci said he hoped to "leave behind an institution where I have picked the best people in the country, if not the world, who will continue my vision.”
Asked Monday on CNN when he planned to retire, Fauci said he does not have a specific retirement date in mind and hasn't started the process. He said he expects to leave government before the end of Biden’s current term, which ends in January 2025.
“By the time we get to the end of Biden’s first term, I will very likely (retire),” Fauci said. He added: “it is extremely unlikely — in fact, for sure — that I am not going to be here beyond January 2025.”
Fauci, long a prominent figure of the government's response to infectious disease, was thrust even more into the spotlight at the height of the coronavirus pandemic under then-President Donald Trump. As the pandemic response became politicized, with Trump suggesting the pandemic would “fade away,” promoting unproven treatment methods and vilifying scientists who countered him, Fauci had to get security protection when he and his family received death threats and harassment.
Fauci testified repeatedly to Congress about the virus, and he and some Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, engaged in heated exchanges over the origins of the virus.
Fauci said Monday his decision to eventually leave his role was unrelated to politics.
“It has nothing to do with pressures, nothing to do with all of the other nonsense that you hear about, all the barbs, the slings and the arrows. That has no influence on me,” he said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Fauci-expects-to-retire-by-end-of-Biden-s-current-17312411.php | 2022-07-18T19:01:40Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Fauci-expects-to-retire-by-end-of-Biden-s-current-17312411.php | true | 39 |
ISLAMABAD (AP) — An earthquake shook a remote area of eastern Afghanistan on Monday, injuring at least 10 people, a Taliban official said. It struck in the same region where an earthquake last month killed hundreds of people and caused widespread devastation.
The U.S. Geological Survey said Monday's earthquake had a magnitude of 5.1.
Abdul Wahid Rayan, director of the Taliban news agency Bakhtar, said the quake struck in the Gayan district of the eastern Paktika province.
Last month's more powerful earthquake ignited yet another crisis in the struggling country, further underscoring the Taliban’s limited capabilities and isolation. U.N. officials said at the time that 770 people were killed, while the Taliban put the death toll at 1,150.
Overstretched aid groups already keeping millions of Afghans alive had rushed supplies to victims of the June quake, but most countries responded tepidly to Taliban calls for international help.
The international cut-off of Afghanistan’s financing has deepened the country’s economic collapse and fueled its humanitarian crises. | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/earthquake-in-eastern-afghanistan-injures-10-people/LDGO345EXRBM5H644MFAXSFRRU/ | 2022-07-18T19:02:32Z | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/earthquake-in-eastern-afghanistan-injures-10-people/LDGO345EXRBM5H644MFAXSFRRU/ | true | 28 |

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of HUMBL, LLC (OTC: HMBL) and/or the Company's unregistered digital asset (sold as BLOCKS Exchange Traded Index ("ETXs") on various cryptocurrency exchanges) between November 1, 2020 and May 19, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period") of the important July 19, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Humbl securities and/or the Company's ETXs during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Humbl class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6398 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 19, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants violated provisions of the Exchange Act by making false and misleading statements concerning the Company's growth prospects, technological advancements, international partnerships, and financial benefits for Humbl common stock and digital asset investors, as well as using selectively timed announcements to keep Humbl stock price high so that Company insiders could sell off their holdings into artificially created volume. The complaint also alleges that defendants violated provisions of the Securities Act by selling its unregistered securities (BLOCK ETX digital assets) to investors.
To join the Humbl class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6398 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) —
Anti-government demonstrators in Hungary blocked one of the capital’s main thoroughfares during morning rush-hour traffic Monday, the latest in a series of protests against recent changes to the country’s tax code that have carried on for nearly a week.
The crowd, made up largely of food delivery couriers on bicycles and scooters, blocked traffic in both directions on one of Budapest’s main bridges over the Danube River. Many demonstrators were independent entrepreneurs affected by legislative changes passed by Hungary’s parliament last week, which they believe will result in major tax hikes or a loss of work.
“Many of us came because we want change, we want unity. We want to live in a country where they don’t try to tear us apart and reinforce divisions,” said demonstrator Eszter Balazs, 25, a restaurant worker and law student.
The wave of demonstrations has taken an increasingly anti-government character since they began on July 12. Nearly nightly, thousands of protesters have defied police and marched through central Budapest, blocking roads and major intersections and demanding the retraction of the law.
Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party, led by nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, used its parliamentary supermajority last week to pass the changes, which target a popular tax scheme known as KATA which allows small businesses and freelancers like delivery drivers to pay a low, flat tax rate.
The measures, which go into force Sept. 1, will force out the majority of the some 450,000 workers who use the scheme. Many demonstrators see the move as a hastily passed form of austerity on workers amid record weakness of Hungary’s currency against the dollar and euro and the highest inflation in nearly 25 years.
“I would really like to live in this country, but they’re making it impossible!” delivery driver Norman, 24, said through a megaphone. He would not give his last name.
“These people call themselves the great family-friendly government, the ones who are driving everyone out of the country?” he said.
The organizers, a spontaneously formed group of delivery couriers, asked opposition parties and “influencer politicians” not to appear at the demonstration. They promised further protests would follow on Tuesday and Wednesday, and other demonstrations were scheduled for later on Monday in the provincial cities of Szeged and Nyiregyhaza.
Eszter Balazs, the restaurant worker, said she believed the wave of discontent “will continue, and that we’ll be ever stronger and more enthusiastic.”
“We have to occupy bridges, we have to become a mass movement and show that we can cause change through unity because many Hungarians want change. There are many Hungarians that want things to be better for their families,” she said. | https://www.wytv.com/news/national-world/ap-international/hungary-anti-government-protest-blocks-bridge-over-tax-law/ | 2022-07-18T19:06:43Z | https://www.wytv.com/news/national-world/ap-international/hungary-anti-government-protest-blocks-bridge-over-tax-law/ | true | 35 |

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina's Dawn Staley has called out ESPN and its ESPY awards show for not inviting national player of the year Aliyah Boston to its ceremonies on Wednesday night.
Staley mused publicly on social media how the people who planning the ceremonies decided “it was a great idea not to invite” the woman who won several national awards as one of the best players in women's college basketball last season.
“Not one person was able to see the uproar this would cause? There's definitely something wrong with the make up of the room," she said on Twitter.
Boston, a 6-foot-5 rising senior, captured the Wooden Award and AP honors as player of the year. She was also named Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four after the Gamecocks defeated Louisville and UConn on the way to the title.
Boston is nominated for “Best College Athlete, Women's Sports,” with Florida State soccer player Jaelin Howell, Oklahoma softball player Jocelyn Alo and Boston College lacrosse star Charlotte North. The award is being given out on the ESPY's Preview Show before the main broadcast.
ESPN and the ESPYs have “the utmost respect” for Boston, Staley, and the Gamecocks, according to a statement provided by ESPN Senior Director of Communications Jay Jay Nesheim. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions and a new venue with less seating capacity, organizers “prioritized athlete invitations to focus on specific awards that will be handed out during the broadcast.”
South Carolina women's basketball spokeswoman Diana Koval said that as of Monday, Boston had not been invited. Staley had not planned to attend the ceremonies.

Wisconsin Republican gubernatorial hopeful Tim Michels' campaign is reworking a flyer that falsely claims he won the National Rifle Association's endorsement, saying the declaration was a mistake.
Michels is locked in a three-way GOP primary with former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and state Rep. Tim Ramthun. Michels has already secured former President Donald Trump's endorsement and a nod from the NRA would have marked another significant win for him heading into the Aug. 9 election.
Michels' campaign sent out a flyer that landed in mailboxes Saturday that claimed the gun advocacy group had endorsed him. Scott Meyer, a Wisconsin lobbyist who has done work for the NRA, said the group hasn't endorsed anyone in the GOP primary and doesn't plan to do so.
"All this came out of the blue," Meyer said of the flyer. "Stunned is the best word to describe it. I've never seen this before."
Michels' campaign spokesperson Chris Walker said in an email to The Associated Press that the claim was an "unintentional error" and has been immediately corrected with a new mailer that says Michels received an "AQ" grade on an NRA questionnaire about his stances on gun rights. Meyer said that grade indicates he answered the questions to the NRA's satisfaction.
"Our direct mail shouldn't have indicated that rating was an 'endorsement,' and subsequent communications will describe his 'AQ rating' from the NRA," Walker said in the email.
Asked in a follow-up email how the error was made, Walker said he wasn't part of "that process" and couldn't speak to it.
Kleefisch campaign manager Charles Nichols said Michels was caught lying and "now he's desperately trying to cover his tracks." Walker didn't immediately respond to another email seeking reaction to Nichols' comment.
A message left with Ramthun's campaign wasn't immediately returned.
The Republican primary is Aug. 9. The winner will go on to face Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in the Nov. 8 general election.

Mandela Barnes
Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who is the Democratic U.S. Senate frontrunner according to the Marquette Law School Poll, called for nationwide abortion protections and the abolition of the filibuster to achieve that goal.
“I firmly believe in every woman’s right to make decisions about her own body," he said in a statement. "Politicians have no right to put restrictions on that decision."
Barnes said he would vote in favor of the Women's Health Protection Act, the leading effort to codify the right to an abortion nationwide.
The measure would permit abortions any time before fetal viability and after viability as long as the pregnancy could pose a risk to the pregnant patient's life or health.
Milwaukee Bucks executive-on-leave Alex Lasry also said he supports Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin's Women's Health Protection Act.
Speaking from the U.S. Supreme Court the night the majority draft opinion came out, Lasry warned such a decision would lead to an almost complete abortion ban in Wisconsin.
Polling second in the Democratic Senate primary according to the Marquette poll, Lasry said he supports the proposal that guarantees "a pregnant person’s right to access an abortion — and the right of an abortion provider to deliver these abortion services — free from medically unnecessary restrictions that interfere with a patient’s individual choice or the provider-patient relationship."
State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, the only female top-tier Senate candidate, campaigned on codifying Roe before the leaked draft opinion made national headlines.
She "opposes abortion restrictions that endanger or punish women," Godlewski spokesperson Sarah Abel said in a statement. She has also expressed support for the Women's Health Protection Act.
After the leak, Godlewski expressed frustration at Democrats' fruitless attempts to codify Roe and ran an ad blasting Johnson for supporting reversing a case that guaranteed abortion protections nationwide for nearly 50 years.
"Sarah believes these personal and complicated decisions should be left to women and their doctors," Abel said.
Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson said he would vote to eliminate the filibuster and codify Roe if he were a U.S. senator after Politico broke the news about the leaked draft.
"A woman's right to choose is absolute. I trust women to make their own medical decisions," the Democratic Senate candidate said in a statement. "I have a 100% NARAL and Planned Parenthood voting record over three terms (2005-11) in the state Assembly — no one else in the field can match that."
Saying reproductive rights were on the ballot in November, Nelson also said he favors expanding the U.S. Supreme Court. Conservative justices currently hold a 6-3 majority on the court.
After the leak, Nelson said, "The Supreme Court has shown their hand. Senator Chuck Schumer must call a special session to blow up the filibuster and codify Roe now.”
Soon after the Roe leak made national headlines, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers led a coalition of 17 governors across the country calling on Congress to pass Baldwin's Women’s Health Protection Act.
Still on the books but unenforceable since Roe, a resumption of the state ban would swamp Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ efforts to stand as a bulwark between the Republican-controlled Legislature and a full-fledged abortion ban.
Still, he said he "will fight every day" for access to abortion and reproductive rights as long as he is governor.
Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, whom the Marquette poll shows is the clear Republican frontrunner in the gubernatorial race, said she supports Wisconsin's law that bans abortion in almost every instance except for when the mother's life is at risk.
Asked during a Fox6 interview whether she would support additional exceptions for rape and incest, Kleefisch said she wouldn't because she doesn't "think it’s the baby’s fault how the baby is conceived."
She also said she hoped and prayed for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe. In the past, Kleefisch said she would support a bill banning abortions after doctors can detect a fetal heartbeat.
State Rep. Tim Ramthun, R-Campbellsport, who is running for governor, also has called himself "100% pro-life."
Ramthun and Nicholson are the only two gubernatorial candidates endorsed by Pro-Life Wisconsin, a group that opposes abortion ban exceptions for rape, incest or the life and health of the mother.
He also voted against a package of anti-abortion legislation because they contained exceptions for when abortion would be permitted.
"A child should never suffer for the sins of their mothers or fathers, and all life is sacred," he said in a statement.
Where Wisconsin's top 10 gubernatorial and U.S. Senate candidates stand on abortion
Six months out from the November election, Republican and Democratic senatorial and gubernatorial candidates could hardly differ more on abortion policy.

Kevin Nicholson debate
SCOTT BAUER, ASSOCIATED PRESS
Management consultant and Republican gubernatorial candidate Kevin Nicholson has called himself "100% pro-life" and said he prays Roe gets overturned.
While he once supported abortion rights, Nicholson said in a survey that he would ban abortions in all cases.
"I’m honored to be the only candidate for governor endorsed by both Pro-Life Wisconsin and Wisconsin Family Action PAC," he said in a statement.
As governor, Nicholson said he would "(end) state funding of Planned Parenthood and (support) existing pregnancy resource centers around our state."
Timothy Ramthun
RUTHIE HAUGE
State Rep. Tim Ramthun, R-Campbellsport, who is running for governor, also has called himself "100% pro-life."
Ramthun and Nicholson are the only two gubernatorial candidates endorsed by Pro-Life Wisconsin, a group that opposes abortion ban exceptions for rape, incest or the life and health of the mother.
He also voted against a package of anti-abortion legislation because they contained exceptions for when abortion would be permitted.
"A child should never suffer for the sins of their mothers or fathers, and all life is sacred," he said in a statement.
The gifts appear to go against guidance prohibiting cash gifts for senators and U.S. Senate employees unless the gift is from a relative or through an inheritance.
"This just seems to me like those who were instigating, who were inspiring weren't MAGA people, but were other bad actors," Father Richard “Rick” Heilman said.
Tim Michels and his wife gave more than $200,000 to powerful Republicans and candidates for the past 12 years. Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and her political committees donated $130,000 over the same period.
"Based on the undisputed evidence of Vos’ ineffectual records practices, I can draw no reasonable inference except that Vos did not search for records in the first instance," Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn wrote.
The lawsuit alleges the 10 Republicans, and the attorneys who advised them, broke several criminal and civil laws when they met at the state Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign official-looking documents asserting that Trump won the state.
The winner of the Aug. 9 Democratic U.S. Senate primary will face Ron Johnson in an election key to deciding the U.S. Senate's future political balance.
While the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down its landmark Roe v. Wade decision may leave Wisconsin’s 173-year-old abortion ban the law of the land, efforts are already underway exploring additional restrictions in the state, including potential legislation to prevent residents from seeking an abortion in neighboring states where the procedure remains legal. | https://lacrossetribune.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/gop-candidate-tim-michels-reworks-flyer-to-erase-nra-endorsement/article_907ffa97-1d06-5e96-ac0e-a8a7a0ded658.html | 2022-07-18T19:11:35Z | https://lacrossetribune.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/gop-candidate-tim-michels-reworks-flyer-to-erase-nra-endorsement/article_907ffa97-1d06-5e96-ac0e-a8a7a0ded658.html | true | 6 |

The special grand jury in Fulton County called on Hice, a Georgia Republican, to appear on Tuesday, according to court and congressional documents first reported on by Politico and the Associated Press earlier on Monday.
Representatives for Fulton County did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did Hice's office. The lawmaker notified Congress about the request on Friday and is seeking to have the matter transferred to federal court, filings showed.
The Georgia probe is one of the most serious cases facing Trump, who was recorded in a Jan. 2 phone call pressuring a top state official to "find" enough votes to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the state.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and blasted the probe as politically motivated. He has argued that he lost the 2020 election because of widespread voter fraud - an allegation that has been rejected in multiple court decisions, a number of Republican audits and by the Department of Justice.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the probe for the state's most populous county, has also warned some Republicans that they could face indictments for their role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, Yahoo News reported.
The Department of Justice has separately been investigating an alleged plan by Trump and his supporters to overturn the election.
A U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating Trump supporters' Jan. 6, 2021, deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol has also focused on Trump's actions in Georgia.

Opinion
Docklands should be turned into our next live music hub
Michael Smith
ArchitectIt is the suburb that Victorians love to hate. For many, Docklands is looked upon as a developers’ picnic. Nothing but a windswept piece of high-density real estate. But this outright dismissal of Docklands obscures both the reality of the area right now and the significant future potential that this precinct holds.
Over the past 20 years, this precinct has been changed from a collection of warehouses that hosted Melbourne’s early rave parties, to a city suburb that is home to more than 15,000 people. All this time Docklands has been a work in progress.
And despite the critics and the challenges of COVID, a community has been building. The local primary school is bustling and the award-winning library provides for a community hub on the waterfront.
Undoubtedly mistakes were made in the policies, planning and delivery of this area. But that doesn’t mean improvements can’t be made. If we pause to consider that Fitzroy, Carlton and Richmond were once regarded as highly undesirable places to live or visit, this should propel us to think of what a cultural hub Docklands could become.
A golden opportunity is developing the precinct into Melbourne’s home for live music. Given the right encouragement and planning to grow, Docklands could be the rebellious musical counterpart to the high-class cultural experiences on offer in the city’s arts precinct. Prior to COVID, live music contributed around $1.5 billion to Victoria’s economy each year which makes its recovery and expansion a very valuable proposition.
So how exactly could this look? Docklands Drive is already set up as a grand boulevard complete with tram line, established street trees and commercial tenancies at ground level, which would be perfect for a thriving row of bars, cafes and live music venues.
This is a strong backbone for a high street capable of becoming an entertainment precinct. Holding it back is the glut of large-footprint commercial tenancies, such as offices and showrooms, which do little to attract visitors to the area.
This is where government should step in, to incentivise owners to adjust these existing tenancies into smaller and more affordable venues. As part of a wider strategy, these excess ground floor offices and showrooms could be repurposed and soundproofed into rehearsal rooms, recording studios, teaching spaces and small-to-medium live music venues. They could offer places for local apartment dwellers to learn and play music with urban equivalents of the suburban garage.
To kick-start the precinct a few key anchor tenants will also be required, such as live music venues that offer unique experiences to visitors. These operators need to be given long-term certainty over the affordability of their venues, ideally through ownership models rather than leasing which is far more tenuous. Giving a leg-up to a few key businesses would be the spark that reignites the precinct.
Another opportunity lies in a few of the more isolated multi-level carparks that service the shopping precinct. Here there is little building that needs to occur at all, instead just a proactive council process to encourage and guide event organisers through the red tape that would otherwise prohibit such activity. Last year’s M Pavilion program, staged in a city car park, is a prime example of how such existing buildings can operate safely as a “pop-up” events venues, if it is properly thought through.
Over the longer term, as the live music hub develops, the state could look to build a replacement music venue for Festival Hall, a 3000-5000 person concert space thick with grit and teen spirit.
With a question mark hovering over the indefinitely closed Central Pier, this could be the future location for such a venue. It doesn’t take too much to imagine what an iconic experience a well-designed venue in this location might offer.
Engaging the local community with this vision would be vital to its success. Care must be taken to protect the amenity of existing residents by both correctly locating and sound-proofing these activities from day one.
Beyond that though, it would need community interest and participation to be truly successful. With almost half of the Docklands’ population being between the ages of 20 and 34, there is every chance it could be.
With a rich collection of existing live music venues across Melbourne, there is no shortage of industry expertise to draw upon to help guide this vision.
Venues such as The Night Cat, Cherry Bar and The Corner Hotel all have operators with extensive knowledge and experience that could be recruited to assist the Docklands cause.
It must be stressed that a live music hub is no silver bullet.
Ultimately, the pathway to a better Docklands precinct is in cultivating an interconnected set of new industry, culture, and community activities that attract a diverse cross-section of people at different times of day.
The live music hub is a tremendous opportunity, but also just one part of this bigger picture.
The last chapter of Docklands was all about building. The next is about bringing unique experiences to this overlooked part of our city. | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/victoria/docklands-should-be-turned-into-our-next-live-music-hub-20220718-p5b2g1.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | 2022-07-18T19:15:51Z | https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/victoria/docklands-should-be-turned-into-our-next-live-music-hub-20220718-p5b2g1.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | true | 7 |
The visual artist Claes Oldenburg, one of the most playful forces in Pop Art, has died at age 93. His death Monday was confirmed to NPR in a statement from Paula Cooper, whose gallery represented him. "It was thrilling to work with Claes, whose odd take on things was delightful, and could completely turn one's mood around," Cooper wrote.
Oldenburg's enduring fascination was to render prosaic objects — a lipstick, for example, or a rubber stamp, or a hamburger, or a cherry perched on the tip of a spoon — in giant scale, and then put that artwork in public spaces. As he told All Things Considered in 2011, " "We like the idea that the sculptures are not all in, say, New York or someplace — that they're scattered around the cities of America and Europe. ... There's a lot of people you're never going to reach. But we have reached, I think, quite a few people, in all parts of the country."
Claes Oldenburg was born Jan. 28, 1929 in Stockholm, Sweden; his father was a diplomat, and the family eventually wound up in Chicago, where the elder Oldenburg served as consul general beginning in 1936. Oldenburg studied literature and art history at Yale and then attended the Art Institute of Chicago in the early 1950s.
In 1956, he moved to New York, and was soon swept up in the emerging conceptual and performance art scenes. His first New York show, at the Judson Gallery in 1959, was formed out of quotidian found materials, including paper and string; two years later, he opened a show called The Store in a downtown storefront, which evoked neighborhood shops and featured plaster pieces that were simulacra of everyday grocery store purchases.
Not long after, however, his interests shifted into concentrating on the single, massively scaled works that became his signature. For much of his career, his work was made as a collaboration with his wife, Coosje van Bruggen, whom he married in 1977 and who died in 2009.
Oldenburg was honored with solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, London's Tate Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, among others, while his and his wife's joint work was celebrated in shows at New York's Whitney Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Arguably, however, Oldenburg's most enduring and literally most accessible works are the ones he (alone or with van Bruggen) created for public spaces, from a giant rubber stamp bearing the word "FREE" in Cleveland to Los Angeles' "Binoculars Building" to Philadelphia's giant clothespin.

KYIV, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fired the head of Ukraine’s security services and its prosecutor general on Sunday, later announcing that hundreds of criminal investigations into suspected treasonous and collusive activities were underway in the besieged country.
International
Ivan Bakanov and Iryna Venediktova were removed from key jobs in Ukraine
As of Sunday, Ukraine had registered 651 criminal proceedings against employees in several high-level offices for allegedly collaborating with the Russians or working against the nation’s goals, Zelensky said in his message. night address immediately after the dismissals were announced.
Such a set of crimes against the foundations of national security of the state and the revealed connections between the employees of the security forces of Ukraine and the special services of Russia raise very serious questions for the relevant leadership, Zelensky said.
He added that any operatives working against Ukraine would be held accountable and that he had already replaced security chiefs in the Kharkiv and Kherson regions.
During his speech, Zelensky said that agencies cannot have full functionality without an effective leader. He did not say in his speech whether Bakanov or Venediktova were being investigated for treason or other crimes.
As Ukrainian officials investigate what Zelensky called specific actions and any omissions, the nation is on heightened alert for airstrikes by its occupier. Russian forces have stepped up their attacks across the front lines. The Pentagon estimates that up to 150 Ukrainians have been killed in Russian attacks on civilian areas in the past two weeks.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Saturday ordered his forces to intensify attacks on all operational sectors of Ukraine. As of Sunday night, Zelensky said, Russia had used more than 3,000 cruise missiles in Ukraine.
It is impossible to count the number of artillery and other shells that have been used against our country and our people, he said. But it is definitely possible that all Russian war criminals will be brought to justice.
As Ukraine braced for more strikes, Sunday’s dismissals highlighted the distrust within Zelensky’s ranks.
Bakanov’s leadership of Ukraine’s domestic intelligence and security agency has been under fire since the start of the war after three former officials in the SBU were charged with treason in late March.
Two of the officials, General Serhiy Kryvoruchko and Colonel Ihor Sadokhin, had worked in the Kherson office. Kherson was the first major city captured by the Russians and was captured with little resistance in large part because Ukrainian troops did not blow up the Antonovskiy Bridge, which connects the city to an area from which Moscow-backed forces had advanced.
Appointed to the SBU’s top role in 2019, Bakanov was a childhood friend of Zelensky’s. He ran his own presidential campaign and, before that, his own entertainment company. Ukrainian opposition parties criticized his appointment, saying he was not qualified to lead the SBU. Bakanov has a background in law and economics, according to him agency biography.
Zelensky had been looking to replace Bakanov and other security officials for weeks. Politico reported. He did not name a replacement for Bakanov in Sunday’s decree or his evening address.
A former adviser to Zelenskiy and a lawmaker from his party, Venediktova was appointed prosecutor general in 2020. Since shortly after the full-scale Russian occupation began in February, she and her office have been investigating suspected war crimes.
Venediktova, the nations first female attorney general, has been profiled in several prominent US news outlets for her pursuit of alleged Russian atrocities. She told Washington Post columnist David Ignatius in late May that her office had more than 13,000 war crimes cases on Russian atrocities, including killings of civilians, rape and torture.
She has faced criticism from some Ukrainians who have said she has not achieved enough results in high-profile anti-corruption cases.
Venediktova succeeded former Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka. When Ryaboshapka was fired, Zelensky said he had failed to deliver results.
In 2020, Zelensky said another person would be hired if Venediktova also failed to deliver, according to Kyiv Post.
Venediktova will be replaced by Oleksiy Symonenko, according to Zelensky’s decree announcing her dismissal.
As Ukraine continues to evaluate the actions of its officials, Zelensky said, questions about its leadership will be properly answered.
Somasundaram reported from Washington.

Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) on Monday said it has increased the stake in Finland-based arm Sampo Rosenlew Oy to 100 percent with the acquisition of shares for over Rs 35 crore.
The company said it executed an option exercise share purchase agreement on Monday to acquire 1,317 equity shares of Sampo Rosenlew Oy, pursuant to the exercise of a call option by it on the other shareholder of Sampo.
Subsequently, the shareholding and consequent voting rights of M&M in Sampo would increase from 79.13 percent to 100 percent of the equity share capital of Sampo and it would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, it added.

SEC’s Charge on Ripple.
Ripple is a real time gross settlement system currency exchange and remittance network created by Ripple Labs INC, a US Based Technology Company. For the past some time, Ripple has been under serious scrutiny by SEC. SEC also went on to file a charge against Ripple and in response to the charge, Ripple filed a case back at the SEC.
The Charges!
On December 22nd 2022, the Securities Exchange Commission, which is the official regulatory body for cryptocurrency market, went on to charge the cryptocurrency firm for following some kind of malpractices.
Basically, SEC went on to file case against, Ripple Labs Inc, and two of its executives who also are the share holders of the company. The charge was that, both of the executives had raised around $1.3 Billion through unregistered, ongoing digital asset securities holding.
Almost two years has gone by and the issue has not yet been resolved. It is believed that Ripple has invested a lot of its financial power and is tipped to invest around $100 million on the legal fees by the end of the case.
100 million Dollars as Legal Fee to fight SEC, says the CEO!
The CEO of Ripple Brad Garlinghouse commented that the company has already invested a lot and by the end of the case, the legal fee would cost around $100 Million.
He says, SEC generally follows the routine of making the companies succumb to the pressures and agree to settlement. He also added that, SEC also thinks that most of the cryptocurrency exchanges don’t have enough financial strength to withstand a lawsuit and surely see this as an opportunity to make the companies agree for settlements.
In contrast, he says that Ripple is not like other cryptocurrency exchanges. Ripple is going to fight till the end of the lawsuit to win the case, he claimed.
The possible outcomes of the lawsuit!
If the verdict comes in favor of Ripple, then SEC would be put under scrutiny and a lot of pressure to make more transparent guidelines in the favor of cryptocurrency firms and institutions. If at all the verdict comes in the favor of SEC, then will have the say in terms of settlement and would also list the case as an example compelling other businesses to seek for settlement and not participate in lawsuit and court proceedings.
Writer’s Analysis.
From the outside it looks as though the crypto currency company has enough funds to fight the court case and hence has filed the court case against SEC. But on the other hand, SEC also doesn’t look to be backing off in the court situation. Only the court will be deciding the future of both the parties as to how they will be functioning and operating. | https://techstory.in/ripple-spends-100-million-dollars-on-legal-fee-to-fight-sec/ | 2022-07-18T19:20:37Z | https://techstory.in/ripple-spends-100-million-dollars-on-legal-fee-to-fight-sec/ | false | 1 |
“You know how they say man plans and God laughs? Well, in my case God damn near fell off the throne, cackling.
Plan B did not work.
I s*** you not.
Those two tiny pills may as well have been tic tacs because no sooner had I placed the cap back on my pee stick and shook my hand free of my own urine, did that damn thing light up pink like a 1980s fanny pack. I was pregnant.”
That is an excerpt from my memoir, “Ain’t That A Mother”, and it is the true tale of how I ended up pregnant when I was certainly trying *not* to be. But here’s the thing – in 2008, I had the option of Plan B (the morning after pill) in my attempt to not bring a child into the world. It wasn’t an abortion – it was the act of keeping an egg from planting itself squarely in my uterus. The choice was mine to make, and though it didn’t work, I’m glad I even had that option. Since then, I’ve used Plan B one other time. I don’t know if it worked or if the timing was just right, but again, I am glad I had the option.
However, with six of the nine Supreme Court judges voting to overturn Roe v Wade and make a woman’s right to make decisions about her own reproductive health up to her state legislature, going forward millions of women in this country may not have the same choice I had. There is a strong possibility that the overturning of that landmark case will open the door for states to also ban emergency contraceptive, such as Plan B, Ella, and emergency IUDs. In an interview with NBC news, Stephanie Parmet, director of the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University stated that “states counties or individual prosecutors who want to ban Plan B or IUDs may now feel they have the ‘tailwind of the Supreme Court behind them’”
I chose to carry my baby to term because actual abortion was never an option for me. However, a woman’s right to choose what she does with her body, specifically the health of her body, has been federally protected for fifty years, and in the matter of a few short weeks and one vote, that right has been stripped away from her. Baby or no baby, I *know* this decision is especially harmful to Black women. Black women historically been deemed liars, hysterical, and immune to pain by the medical profession, so how do we think this decision will play out for the Black pregnant woman with sickle cell anemia whose life is at risk if she carries a baby to term? Or the 13-year-old Black girl who ended up pregnant by any means, and doesn’t have the mental/emotional capacity to care for a child, much less the financial capacity? In 2016, 50 percent of medical residents surveyed by the National Academy of Science endorsed at least one medical lie that had been perpetuated about Black patients, and 12 percent endorsed some of the lies. That same year, the National Institute of Health (NIH) found that the maternal mortality rate for Black non-Hispanic women was three and a half times higher than for non-Hispanic White women. And for deaths six weeks to a year after delivery, the rate for Black women was 3.5 times higher than for that of White women.
If that was in 2016, when a woman’s right to an abortion was federally protected and Black women were not only not being believed about their ills, but also dying at a rate of almost four times that of their White counterparts, we don’t need to imagine what those numbers will look like going forward. We already know. No person, but especially a Black person, knowing what we know about the medical profession and their beliefs about us, should be forced into birth – for whatever reason. Motherhood, though not initially, was my choice. With this ruling by SCOTUS, motherhood, particularly Black motherhood, could very well be a death sentence.

(OAE) — I was able to spend some time in Park City, Utah for the press launch of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq. This is the first all-electric Cadillac, which is significant for several reasons.
The company has invested two billion dollars in the Spring Hill Plant, to build the Lyriq. This vehicle will actually do 312 miles on a single charge. The all-wheel-drive version will get about 500 horsepower and you can recharge it on a DC fast charger, in half an hour to get 195 miles of range.
This Cadillac Lyriq will surprise you when you see what it can do on the road. This vehicle will show you what a hundred-year-old company can actually do when it goes to an all-electric future. Let’s start with design. The design is super significant for the new Lyriq. And the reason why is because this is different from any Cadillac you’ve seen before. The front is very Cadillac because this is a depiction of the original Cadillac badge. The lines are laser-etched lights. And when you see the sequence of them lighting up, it is unique to that specific Cadillac. All the lights in the Lyriq are vertical LEDs.
And as you’ll see new versions of Cadillacs come out, this front end will look different. This is the new face of Cadillac for the years going forward. The cool thing about the back end is because of the way they’ve shaped this. There is no need for a rear windshield wiper, the rain just bounces off the back of the vehicle. To open the trunk, the Cadillac symbol just gets a push and the trunk opens in the back. You are afforded 28 cubic feet of space for all your luggage. When you take a trip and the back seats fold down, with just a clever little push of the button, that increases the rear cargo space to 68 cubic feet of space in the back. That is enough room for five dogs. | https://www.cbs17.com/automotive/here-is-the-first-electric-cadillac-the-lyriq/ | 2022-07-18T19:23:03Z | https://www.cbs17.com/automotive/here-is-the-first-electric-cadillac-the-lyriq/ | false | 28 |
MADRID (AP) — Francisco Seoane and his fellow passengers got a fright when their train stopped in the Spanish countryside and they looked out the window: Wildfires were encroaching on them from both sides of the track.
“It was really scary to see how quickly the fire spread. Just in the blink of an eye, a new bush began burning. It was a matter of seconds,” the Spaniard told The Associated Press on Monday.
“It suddenly become night,” he added. “And we could even smell the smoke” inside the railcar.
Video of the unscheduled — and unnerving — stop shows about a dozen passengers in Seoane’s railcar becoming alarmed as they look out of the windows.
Flames licked at the vegetation, and smoke darkened the blue skies as the train drew to a halt on Monday morning in the province of Zamora, where blazes have charred large areas of woodland in recent days. That province has recorded two deaths from wildfires in the past two days: a 69-year-old shepherd and a 62-year-old firefighter trapped in the flames.
With no passenger announcements coming over the train’s public address system, Seoane said passengers became agitated and began to stand up in the aisle.
An Adif spokeswoman told The AP that passengers were never in danger.
More than 30 forest fires around Spain have forced the evacuation of thousands of people and blackened some 22,000 hectares (54,300 acres) over the past week.

I believe it was around 1973 that Dr. Phil Hughes, an optometrist from Springfield, excitedly burst into our Eagle Times office in Claremont to announce the plans for a new soccer game sponsored by the Lions. It would pit the top recently graduated seniors from Vermont against their counterparts from New Hampshire.
There were skeptics. I recall one of them being out Eagle Times managing editor Archie Mountain. He was incredulous that anyone could think that a soccer game modeled after the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl football game could have success.
The game made its debut in 1975 at Middlebury College and successful it has been. It is still around today and includes the women’s game that was added in 1983.
There were some glitches on Saturday in the 47th edition of the Lions Cup played at Hanover High School’s beautiful turf facility.
There was no game clock. It should have been checked days before the game. When you pay your $5 a game, a clock is something that should come with the package for a game of this magnitude.
The game program for years was devoid of only records and history for the men’s game, something that always puzzled people.
The Lions rectified that situation this year by having the history of the women’s game in the program.
But they left out the men’s data this time.
The game no longer includes a three-day camp. Instead, the players get together a week before the game and hold their only practice.
The three-day camp is part of the experience. The players stay in dorms, eat together and get to know one another.
Vermont head women’s coach Rob Moran (Spaulding) can see both sides of the coin. He pointed out that a very important piece of the game is raising money for the worthy cause, helping the hearing and sight impaired.
“They can raise more money by not having to pay for the camp,” Moran said.
But Moran also knows that the camp experience is something that the players treasure for the rest of their lives. The friendships made at camp endure.
It’s a balance. Raising money is so important but you still have to pay attention to the game.
Having the camp also promotes stronger team play, more cohesiveness on the field.
The Lions have a great thing going. The soccer on Saturday was outstanding and it was evident that the crowd thoroughly enjoyed it.
I miss the days when a team banquet and the camp were part of the package.
But it’s still an event I really look forward to each year.
I also love the location. The game is on the Connecticut River, making it an ideal venue for fans from both states.
The advantage to locating it on a college campus if the camp were to return is the amenities like dorms and a dining hall.
The game is still going strong and a great cause is being well served. The late Phil Hughes would be proud.

Kanye West’s ex Amber Rose weighed in on Kim Kardashian and the rapper’s divorce in a latest podcast interview.
According to Daily Mail, Rose, who dated West in 2008 before going their separate ways in 2010, appeared on Raquel Harper’s It’s Tricky podcast where she revealed that she was not surprised when Kardashian filed for divorce from the singer in February last year.
“Of course, I saw the split coming, said the media personality.
When inquired further about her “feelings”, the 38-year-old joked, “I don't have any feelings about it.”
Rose later mentioned regarding West, “I have my own issues and feelings, how I feel about how our relationship was.”
“I always hoped for the best for them. I never had any ill feelings, like 'I hope they get divorced' or 'he’s going to get his day,” she added.
However, speaking to Just Jared, Rose stated, “When they finally got divorced, I was like ‘mmm.’ Kim seems happy now though, with Pete Davidson.”
Interestingly, Harper also asked that since Kardashian and Rose shared same birth date so she would likely “understand the mix between Libra personalities and Kanye's personality”.
“I think you can be similar as far as birthdays, but we grew up completely different. 'I grew up poor in Philly, I had to hustle and struggle. Her life was very privileged, with money and being out here in LA, which is cool,” she noted. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/428431-kanye-wests-ex-amber-rose-discusses-about-kim-kardashian-and-rappers-divorce | 2022-07-18T19:36:56Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/428431-kanye-wests-ex-amber-rose-discusses-about-kim-kardashian-and-rappers-divorce | false | 1 |
Hundreds of McDonald’s franchisees reportedly want to hold a “no confidence” vote for the fast-food giant’s top bosses due to recent changes to ownership terms.
In a survey conducted by National Owners Association, a key McDonald’s franchisee advocacy group, 87% of respondents backed a “no confidence” vote for both CEO Chris Kempczinski and McDonald’s US president Joe Erlinger, according to a report Monday.
A whopping 95% of franchisees who responded to the poll said they felt McDonald’s corporate leaders were no longer acting in their best interest while crafting the store ownership model, CNBC reported.
The damning responses from the NOA’s membership came after McDonald’s corporate branch said the company would no longer give preferential treatment to close family members of current franchisees when considering approval of new store owners.
The change, which takes effect in 2023, comes as McDonald’s pushes for more diversity among its franchise owners following allegations of racial discrimination. Last year, the company said it has earmarked $250 million over the next five years to increase its number of minority-owned stores around the US.
Franchisees have also expressed concerns about other changes — including a new grade-based system to assess store performance and updates to McDonald’s process for renewing 20-year store leases, according to CNBC.
In a June message to franchisees, Erlinger billed the changes as critical to the long-term health of McDonald’s franchising operations.
“We’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how we continue to attract and retain the industry’s best owner/operators — individuals who represent the diverse communities we serve, bring a growth mindset and focus on executional excellence, while cultivating a positive work environment for restaurant teams,” Erlinger said.
The survey polled nearly 700 franchisees within the NOA’s membership of about 1,000. Through the end of last year, McDonald’s had more than 2,400 store owners.
The NOA’s survey also found that 83% of franchisees thought the ownership rules changes were merely a “veiled attempt to raise rents” at stores. Meanwhile, 95% of respondents said they felt McDonald’s did not value their contributions.
McDonald’s declined to comment.
The Post has reached out to the National Owners Association for comment on the survey.
Another franchisee group, the National Black McDonald’s Operators Association, backed a no-confidence vote in June, according to Restaurant Business Online.
The turmoil among McDonald’s franchisees surfaced as the fast-food giant adjusts its operations to account for decades-high inflation. Franchisee profits have soared as the chain implements price hikes across its menu.
A number of McDonald’s franchisees have reportedly opted to ditch the company’s famous “dollar drink” special due to rising costs — a move made against the recommendations of the fast-food giant’s corporate wing. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/business/mcdonalds-franchisees-back-no-confidence-vote-for-ceo-report/264904/ | 2022-07-18T19:37:55Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/business/mcdonalds-franchisees-back-no-confidence-vote-for-ceo-report/264904/ | true | 2 |

PHOTOS: Breathtaking images from NASA’s public library
(Stacker) - On July 11, 2022, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released the first image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, which shows the universe as it has never been seen before. President Joe Biden released the first photo in a live event streamed on NASA TV.
Prior to the reveal, the image and four others captured by the James Webb Space Telescope were only shared with a small group of scientists from around the world who were astounded and almost moved to tears. These groundbreaking images are only the start of the Webb Telescope pioneering the next era in space photography and digital exploration.
NASA officially began operations on Oct. 1, 1958, as the primary organization for U.S. civil aerospace research and development. Just 11 years later, NASA landed the first human on the moon in 1969. In the 1970s, the focus shifted to developing a space station. Skylab was launched, unmanned, in May 1973. Three crewed missions followed during the next seven months to repair the station and conduct experiments. The first international space station partnership was the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975, which brought American and Soviet crews together.
The space shuttle program became fully realized in April 1981 with the manned launch of the Columbia. In 135 missions flown with five shuttles, there were two catastrophic accidents—Challenger and Columbia. Discovery delivered the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit. The 30-year shuttle program was significant in setting the foundation for future Earth-to-orbit transportation and sustained space stays.
Shuttle technology led to the construction of the International Space Station, the largest structure humans have put into space. As of May 2022, 258 astronauts from 20 countries have lived there, conducting experiments and documenting life in space since 2000.
In 2017, NASA opened the digital doors to its image and video library website, allowing the public to access more than 140,000 images, videos, and audio files. The collection provides unprecedented views of space. Stacker reviewed the collection to select 31 of the most breathtaking images, including the first from the James Webb Space Telescope. Keep reading to see these stunning images, curated with further information about the captured scenes.
The first image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope
On July 11, 2022, NASA released the first image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope allowing us to see “the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date,” according to NASA. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, the image is of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, depicting thousands of galaxies shining around other galaxies whose light has been bent. During the announcement, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson put the image into perspective, saying, “If you held a grain of sand at the tip of your finger at arm’s length, that’s the part of the universe that you’re seeing—just one little speck of the universe.” The photo, which was captured in less than one day, includes “the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared,” NASA explained in a press release.
The James Webb Space Telescope (the naming of which remains controversial) is an infrared space observatory that is the product of a collaborative effort between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) spanning over three decades. The telescope was launched into space on Dec. 25, 2021 to orbit the sun, and will focus on uncovering the secrets behind the universe’s origins—the big bang and the first light in the universe, the assembly of galaxy formations, the birth of stars and planetary systems, and even the origin of life itself.
The first photo is just a small preview of the groundbreaking discoveries the Webb telescope will help scientists make in the coming decades. For example, during the reveal of the first photo, Nelson pointed out that the telescope will allow them to determine if other planets are habitable.
The moon from Apollo 11
On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin made history by landing on the moon while pilot Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit. While returning home on July 21, the crew captured this picture of the full moon. Earth’s only natural satellite, it circles us from an average distance of 238,900 miles away.
Earth from the International Space Station
An astronaut aboard the International Space Station shot a picture of Earth from 250 miles over Australia. Airglow—the orange hue—comprises diffuse bands of light created by atoms colliding in the atmosphere near the interface of Earth and space. Studying airglow is helping scientists to understand the connections between Earth weather and space weather.
Hurricanes on Earth
Several large hurricanes were brewing in the Atlantic Ocean in September 2017. By assembling several images taken in one day by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite, NASA could provide a vibrant look at this weather pattern. Views like this help communities make decisions about disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
Shuttle space walk
In 2006, NASA astronaut Robert L. Curbeam Jr. and European Space Agency astronaut Christer Fuglesang continued construction on the International Space Station (ISS). Below them lie New Zealand and Cook Strait in the Pacific Ocean. The ISS must be maintained and repaired regularly so that its inhabitants can complete missions and experiments through at least 2024.
Shuttle in silhouette
An ISS crewmember captured a picture of the space shuttle Endeavour as it neared docking in February 2010. It was Endeavour’s 10th flight to the ISS with the mission of delivering Tranquility (a berthing, life support, and exercise module) and Cupola (a robotics work station).
Eruption on the sun
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory documented a dramatic solar event on March 2, 2012. This explosion, appearing on the right side of the sun in the photograph, is called a “prominence eruption.” The prominence is made up of plasma—matter in an ultra-high-energy state even more volatile than gas—and can loop thousands of miles into space.
Raikoke volcano eruption
Raikoke Volcano sits on the remote Kuril Islands in the Pacific Ocean. On June 22, 2019, an ISS crew member captured an image of the volcanic plume of Raikoke’s first eruption in almost one hundred years. NASA satellites tracked the plume for activity that might affect aviation and climate.
Rover selfie
The Curiosity Mars rover provided a selfie as part of its 1,065th day of work on Aug. 5, 2015. A combination of multiple images taken by its Hand Lens Imager, the picture shows Curiosity on a rock called “Buckskin” on Mount Sharp. The mission to drill into Buckskin and collect a sample for analysis yielded the discovery of silica, which may show that liquid water once existed on Mars.
Cargo craft docks
The unmanned Cygnus cargo craft—the SS John Young—was photographed attaching itself to the International Space Station in November 2018 with a delivery of 7,400 pounds of supplies. The spacecraft was named after John Young, NASA’s longest-serving astronaut, who was an integral part of missions to the moon and the space shuttle program.
John Young on the moon
As part of the first extravehicular activity of its mission, Apollo 16 commander John W. Young jumps off the lunar surface while saluting the American flag in April 1972. Apollo 16 spent more than 20 hours on the surface, drove 16.6 miles in the lunar rover, and returned with 210 pounds of samples.
Canadian aurora
The snowy Quebec landscape is illuminated by the stars, the moon, and the aurora borealis in this picture from February 2012. Taken from the ISS, the image also shows airglow along the horizon. The Manicouagan Crater, seen in the lower right, was created by an asteroid impact approximately 214 million years ago.
Helix Nebula
Launched in 2003, the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope is orbiting 353 miles above Earth. In 2007, it took an infrared image of the Helix nebula (sometimes referred to as the “Eye of God”). This nebula is in the constellation of Aquarius, 650 light-years away.
The cracking Brunt Ice Shelf
In January 2019, NASA captured an image of Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf as it neared a substantial break that will release an iceberg twice the size of New York City. The crack, at the top right of the image, is called the “Halloween crack,” as it first appeared in October 2016.
Cassini’s capture of Saturn
Cassini was in space for 20 years on a mission to explore Saturn and its rings and moons. In 2016, it took several images with a wide-angle camera which were combined to create one full depiction of the planet. Cassini completed its work, having delivered images and science results, by plunging into Saturn’s atmosphere.
The heart of Madagascar
A 2018 photograph of the heart of Madagascar shows great landscape changes in the region as captured from the ISS by NASA astronaut Ricky Arnold. The world’s fourth-largest island is experiencing the decimation of rainforests because of the demand for its unique resources.
The last landing
In 2011, the 30-year space shuttle program ended as Atlantis touched down at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. With five shuttles and 355 space flyers, the program completed 135 missions. Today, Atlantis is on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitors’ Center.
The eye of the hurricane
The International Space Station captured the eye of a Category 4 hurricane in September 2018. Moving across the Atlantic toward the Carolinas, the hurricane’s winds were clocked at 130 miles per hour. Florence reached landfall on Sept. 14 with a record-breaking storm surge and rainfall.
International Space Station
During their separation on July 19, 2011, space shuttle Atlantis took this photograph of the International Space Station. Russian cosmonauts Andrei Borisenko, Sergei Volkov, and Alexander Samokutyayev, Japan Aerospace Exploration astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and NASA astronauts Mike Fossum and Ron Garan were all aboard the ISS. The shuttle astronauts were Chris Ferguson, Doug Hurley, Sandy Magnus, and Rex Walheim.
Watercolor of the sea
Taken from observational satellite Landsat-8 in June 2018, this image of the Chukchi Sea illuminates colorful blooms of phytoplankton. Cool nutrient-rich water from the Bering Sea meet warm, less-salty Alaskan coastal water to create these patterns. The blooms can be seen even through deep Arctic ice cover.
The Great Red Spot of Jupiter
During a close pass of Jupiter in February 2019, NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured the gas giant planet and its Great Red Spot, which is the site of a massive storm on the planet’s surface. This view was created by citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill by compiling multiple images and data from the JunoCam. Juno was launched in 2011 and reached Jupiter in 2016. Its sole mission is to explore, study, and map the planet.
Monument Valley
In the Navajo Tribal Park on the border of Arizona and Utah, Monument Valley is one of the most recognizable areas of the American West. Red-rock formations and sandstone towers rise hundreds of feet above its sandy floor. The Operational Land Imager on Landsat-8 captured the elevation differences of the Valley in November 2016.
Flying through an aurora
Flying 200 miles above Earth has given the crew members on the International Space Station the opportunity to document the changes and events on their home planet from the Station’s unique perspective. In August 2014, the ISS flew through a green aurora. An aurora is observed when charged electrons from solar wind interact with Earth’s atmosphere.
Pillars of Creation
The Pillars of Creation are part of the Eagle Nebula, approximately 5,700 light years from Earth. This composite image uses data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope. The Pillars area of the nebula is an active star-forming region.
Total eclipse of the sun
The total solar eclipse of the sun on Aug. 21, 2017, offered a rare opportunity for NASA to collect data on the Earth-sun connection. Its long, uninterrupted path over land, starting at the Oregon coast where this image was captured, provided more time for scientists to study the sun’s corona.
Untethered in space
In 1984, Mission Specialist Bruce McCandless II took the historic first untethered spacewalk. Floating a few meters away from Space Shuttle Challenger, he spent four hours in the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU). McCandless logged more than 300 hours in space during his long career with NASA.
Marbled Pluto
Pluto’s color variations were captured by NASA’s New Horizons space probe in 2015. The enhanced image shows the marbling effect of the dwarf planet’s diverse landforms. Pluto has mountains and plains with blue skies as well as ice and red snow.
The wild river
Captured by European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet in 2017, this image shows the 1,400-mile Dnieper River in snowy, icy February. The river runs from Russia to the Black Sea. The International Space Station orbits Earth approximately 16 times each day and is keeping a visual record of our ever-changing planet.
Supermassive black hole
This computer-simulated image shows a supermassive black hole, weighing 17 billion suns, discovered in a sparsely populated area of the universe with the NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Gemini Telescope in Hawaii. Black holes were previously believed to be located in very large galaxies in densely populated clusters. The black region in the center is the event horizon, where no light can escape from the black hole’s powerful gravity.
The space selfie
During a spacewalk to do maintenance on the International Space Station in March 2019, astronaut Nick Hague took a selfie. Documenting his first spacewalk, Hague was 250 miles above Earth. It wasn’t the first space selfie, though. Buzz Aldrin claimed that achievement during his moon walk in 1969.

Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Panama and Costa Rica lead the 2021-2022 Infrascope, which assesses the capacity of countries to mobilize private investment through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean have taken significant steps in creating enabling environments for the development of efficient and sustainable PPPs in infrastructure. Two countries stand out in particular, Brazil and Chile, and five more show high performance: Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Panama and Costa Rica.
TIP: Get our latest content by joining our newsletter. Don't miss out on news that matter in Costa Rica. Click here.
The regulatory and institutional foundations for PPP development are largely in place throughout the region, and attention must now focus on improving project preparation, financing, and risk management.
These are the main results of the 7th edition of the Infrascope 2021-2022, a publication that assesses the capacity of countries to mobilize private investment in infrastructure through PPPs and is developed every two years by Economist Impact, the analysis unit of the The Economist group, and commissioned by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
Infrascope includes 26 IDB borrowing member countries
The study was presented at an event that featured opening remarks by IDB President Mauricio Claver-Carone and Economist Impact Americas Director Vaibhav Sahgal. Subsequently, the IDB Vice President for Countries, Richard Martínez, moderated a panel with public officials from Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Paraguay on the challenges and opportunities that PPPs present to countries. Likewise, the IDB’s Chief of Staff and Chief Strategy Officer, Jessica Bedoya, spoke with international investors and developers about the prospects for PPPs in the region.
This new edition of the Infrascope has been expanded to all 26 IDB borrowing member countries and includes a new framework of indicators to capture the latest developments in infrastructure PPPs, including social and environmental sustainability, fiscal control and budget planning, transparency and accountability, as well as new financial instruments.
A great opportunity
Public-Private Partnerships represent a great opportunity to expand markets, create jobs, contribute to the economic recovery and growth of the region, since they promote sustainability, efficiency and innovation
That is why at the IDB, through our PPP Single Window, we are supporting collaboration between the public and private sectors under this model, and to achieve this, the first step is to understand the challenges and opportunities that each country has, hence the importance of analysis tools such as the Infrascope.
Continuous monitoring of project performance is necessary
The findings of the study indicate that the creation in the countries of more favorable environments for the development and implementation of infrastructure PPPs will be essential to improve the efficiency, sustainability, sectoral balance, and quality of this tool in the region.
On the other hand, the study highlights that developing infrastructure PPPs of financial and fiscally viable quality requires reducing uncertainty through transparent, consistent and efficient risk allocation. As well as applying the lessons learned through continuous monitoring of project performance. In addition, countries must give more weight to sustainability and future-readiness, to ensure that economic and social infrastructure stands the tests of time and climate change. | https://thecostaricanews.com/6-countries-lead-the-capacity-to-mobilize-private-investment-through-public-private-partnerships/ | 2022-07-18T19:45:23Z | https://thecostaricanews.com/6-countries-lead-the-capacity-to-mobilize-private-investment-through-public-private-partnerships/ | true | 1 |
A highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch game is now also coming to PS4 and PS5, in addition to PC. In gaming, the RPG genre is one of the most popular genres. Within the RPG genre, the action-RPG is probably the most common. However, there was an era in gaming when the turn-based RPG was THE RPG. The heyday of the turn-based RPG is long gone though. The genre still lives on, but not with the same significance. That said, one of the most anticipated indie games in the industry right now is a turn-based RPG, and it's called Sea of Stars. Previously, it was announced for the PC and Nintendo Switch only, but recently this changed with developer Sabotage Studio announcing that when the game launches in 2023 it will do so also on PS4 and PS5. Unfortunately, there's nothing more specific beyond "2023" in regards to the release date. What those looking forward to the game did get though is a new trailer. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2667420631795/skyrim-tarot-cards-release-later-this-month-because-you-can-never-have-too-much-skyrim | 2022-07-18T19:45:30Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2667420631795/skyrim-tarot-cards-release-later-this-month-because-you-can-never-have-too-much-skyrim | true | 59 |
LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Christopher Bell’s crew chief tried to give him a little bit of coaching — some encouragement with about 40 laps left in the race and a victory and playoff spot at stake — and was promptly told, well, basically to shush.
“He told me that he had it under control,” crew chief Adam Stevens said with a laugh, “and he clearly did.”
Bell explained later there so many laps left in the race, that he didn’t need a reminder of how far the No. 20 Toyota had to go to reach the finish line.
Plus, Bell already knew the way to reach victory lane at his favorite track.
Bell crashed the NASCAR playoffs — and tightened the pressure on the remaining winless drivers — winning Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to become the 14th Cup Series winner this season.
“That one was much needed right there,” the 27-year-old Bell said.
Bell mastered the track where he won Xfinity Series races in 2018, 2019 and 2021 and was second in the Cup race last year, holding off Chase Elliott — last week’s winner at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Bell is the 14th driver to earn a spot in the 16-driver playoff field. With six races left in the regular season, it leaves open the possibility that more than 16 drivers could win a race and the final playoff spot or spots would be decided on points.
That’s a worry for another day for Bell.
“That car was not very good when it started the race,” team owner Joe Gibbs said. “It was middle-of-the-pack. It was struggling. At the end, they got him going in the right direction.”
Bell chased down Elliott late and led the final 42 lap for Joe Gibbs Racing. His only other Cup win came in the second race of the 2021 season in the Daytona road course race.
Elliott finished second for Hendrick Motorsports and Bubba Wallace was third for 23XI Racing. Martin Truex Jr. dominated early and finished fourth and Kevin Harvick completed the top five.
“We had no idea what we were running there at the end,” Wallace said. “I knew it was inside the top five. But just tire management there at the end, and we were able to capitalize. Just proud of everybody. Happy. It’s been hell for me the last month, so good to come out with a top five.”
Elliott, who had led 13 laps overall when he was caught by Bell, finished first or second for the fourth straight race.
“We were in a position where guys at this level really should close out a race if you’ve got the lead like that,” Elliott said. “Just poor effort on my part.”
Bell led JGR to its fourth win this season and 12th at New Hampshire.
Bell was one of those drivers who would have had to worry about his playoff chances during the rest of the summer stretch. He entered the race in 16th place in the points standings — 19 above the cutline. Bell reeled off five straight top-10 finishes over May and June before he ran into a recent hiccup with only one finish better than 18th over his last four.
“If you’re race car is fast, and you have a first-place car, it’s pretty easy to get to first as long as you do your job,” Bell said. “I had a first-place race car at the end of that race. Basically, the third stage my car was the fastest one out there, especially on the long run. I did my job to maximize that.”
JGR, who supplies pit crews to 23XI Racing, swapped team members earlier this month with Wallace’s crew.
Bell’s biggest concern Sunday was trying to handle the 21-pound lobster awarded to the winner.
“Earlier in the year, I felt like we were right on the verge of winning,” Bell said. “In the last couple of weeks, I thought we were pretty far away. Now, here we are today.”
Bell still has to work on expanding his New England fan club. He gave his Xfinity checkered flag last season to the only young boy he saw in the grandstands wearing a Bell T-shirt. Before Sunday’s race, Bell promised one kid wearing his shirt at a pre-race event hosted by his sponsor that he would give him the checkered flag with a win.
“And I did,” he said.
TRUEX FADES
Truex won the first two stages and led 172 laps before he faded after a poor pit stop and finished fourth. Truex dominated early from the pole and seemed poised to snap a season-long winless drought. Without a win, Truex is on the playoff bubble. Ryan Blaney is third in the points standings and Truex fourth, yet both could possibly miss the playoffs without a win. This is the third time in the last 20 years (2002, 2003, 2011) there have been 14 winners in the first 20 races.
TRADING PAINT
Brad Keselowski and Austin Dillon used their cars as battering rams under a caution midway through the race. Dillon hit Keselowski in the door on the backstretch. Keselowski retaliated and smacked Dillon on the passenger’s side of the car and ran him off the track.
“We’ve gone at it a couple of times the last two years. One time, I hit really hard,” Dillon said. “I just don’t like the way certain people race me.”
UP NEXT
NASCAR’s Cup Series heads to Pocono Raceway for its only stop of the year. The track long held two Cup races each year and Alex Bowman and Kyle Busch won the races in a doubleheader weekend last year.

There were some impressive showings this summer for the Celtics’ only pick of the 2022 NBA draft, Alabama guard J.D. Davison. He exploded for 28 points and 10 assists in a win over Memphis and closed out the summer set with 17 points and 10 assists in the finale against the Nets.
He also signed a two-way contract with Boston just ahead of the summer opener, which put gave him a bit of security heading into the Las Vegas slate. There was much to like in his five-game showing, including the 8.2 assists that led the tournament and the 46.7% 3-point shooting, as well as his toughness on the defensive end.
But, lest ye need reminding, this was only summer league. The Davison hype train has limited capacity, at least this early on in the 19-year-old’s career. It’s not likely that coach Ime Udoka, who was hesitant to use young players last year, will see much of Davison next year.
As Heavy Sports insider Steve Bulpett, who has covered the Celtics for decades, put it, Davison is not likely to see much floor time in Boston this year. “He’s a guy that, check in during the year on him, see how he is doing, but I am not sure there are minutes for him on this team,” Bulpett said during a YouTube discussion on the Celtics. “Where’s he gonna play?”
Davison Fit the Scouting Report
Indeed, Davison did show some of the downsides of his still-developing game during his time in Las Vegas. He has a tendency to play out of control and can be turnover prone, averaging 3.0 turnovers per game in the 30.3 minutes he played. His outbursts from the 3-point line could be impressive, but he came in with a rap as a streaky shooter and showed that, too—he was just a 30.1% 3-point shooter during his one season at Alabama.
“He is a total developmental player,” said Bulpett, who was on hand to watch Davison throughout his time at Summer League. “He was, it is weird when you read a guy’s scouting report and damn if he didn’t check very box on the scouting report when he was out in Vegas. The good, the bad, the ugly, all that stuff. He needs to get better control but we’re talking about a guy who’s played one year of college basketball and needs to understand the game on this level.”
Davison will likely get ample time in Maine to raise his level and the hope is that he can work with veteran pros like Marcus Smart, Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White during practice to up his game.
‘Try to Tame a Lion’
If there was one thing that stood out about Davison, it’s that he is prone to streaks of wildness, but he can excel as he brings those under control. That is an easier task than taking a too-lax player and trying to get him to be more intense.
“One of my favorite Doc Rivers quotes is, he said, ‘I’d rather try to tame a lion than teach a housecat to fight,’” Bulpett said. That applies to Davison.
After his debut, Davison talked about his game and what he’s trying to do different. “Go out there and lead, talking. I usually lead by example, now I am out there being a leader, vocal,” he said. “When they hear my voice it’s just going to mean something to the team and I think get the team going sometimes.”
Leadership and intensity are two keys to his game. “A lot of my defense, just defensively being a dog on the defensive end. A lot of getting my team involved, also being a leader on the court as a point guard. Just moving on, I can get better, move my team better, I can put them in certain spots and be there on the defensive end,” he said. | https://heavy.com/sports/boston-celtics/jd-davison-summer-league-maine/ | 2022-07-18T19:57:10Z | https://heavy.com/sports/boston-celtics/jd-davison-summer-league-maine/ | true | 1 |
CUSTOMERS ARE PROVING TO MAKE STILLY THE SIGNATURE COCKTAIL OF SUMMER 2022
STILLWATER, Minn., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- STILLY, the new brand of ready-to-drink cocktails in a can that was released to liquor stores across Minnesota earlier this month, is already making a big splash among consumers.
STILLY beverages are NOT seltzers, and they're not your ordinary cocktails in a can; they're an all-new category of unique adult beverages called a "stilly." A "stilly" is a light and refreshing cocktail made with premium vodka or other distilled spirits, fine bubbles, a squeeze of natural juices, and natural flavors. The exact ingredients and processes used to make a "stilly" are a closely guarded secret, but consumers are proving to love the taste of this unique and naturally refreshing beverage.
STILLY branded beverages hit liquor stores throughout Minnesota days before the 4th of July holiday. A little over two weeks later, consumers can find them in over 300 liquor stores across Minnesota. New stores are being added daily.
"We have been overwhelmed by the demand and could not be more excited for what's ahead," said Nick Barthelemy, CEO and Co-founder of STILLY SPIRITS, LLC., based out of Stillwater, MN. "We are already selling through supply into late summer and fall. We are thrilled people love our product as much as we do."
The company introduced three distinctly delicious flavors of the "vodka stilly" in a variety pack (6 cans/3 flavors) of 12 oz slim cans for $14.99. The three varieties available now include "Partymaker+" (cranberry lime), "Vibe Machine" (grapefruit), and "The Fuzz" (peach). More flavors will hit the market soon.
"We rarely see a launch this successful. Customers are buying out the product within days of it reaching stores," said Keith Donovan, general sales manager for Bellboy Corporation, the distributor of STILLY branded beverages. "We pre-sold the entire first run before it even hit the production line, and the demand from our customers continues to grow with every person who tastes it."
What started as an idea less than a year ago, with the support of family and friends, has turned into not only a new product line but a lifestyle brand. "We all live for the enjoyable moments in life. So we want to inspire people to take a moment, crack a STILLY and a smile, relax, have fun, and enjoy the STILLY Life, all while making memories together," said Barthelemy.
Later this summer, the company will launch a line of merchandise, including hats, T-shirts, coolers, golf accessories, boat flags, etc., to be sold on Stilly.com.

(OAE) — I was able to spend some time in Park City, Utah for the press launch of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq. This is the first all-electric Cadillac, which is significant for several reasons.
The company has invested two billion dollars in the Spring Hill Plant, to build the Lyriq. This vehicle will actually do 312 miles on a single charge. The all-wheel-drive version will get about 500 horsepower and you can recharge it on a DC fast charger, in half an hour to get 195 miles of range.
This Cadillac Lyriq will surprise you when you see what it can do on the road. This vehicle will show you what a hundred-year-old company can actually do when it goes to an all-electric future. Let’s start with design. The design is super significant for the new Lyriq. And the reason why is because this is different from any Cadillac you’ve seen before. The front is very Cadillac because this is a depiction of the original Cadillac badge. The lines are laser-etched lights. And when you see the sequence of them lighting up, it is unique to that specific Cadillac. All the lights in the Lyriq are vertical LEDs.
And as you’ll see new versions of Cadillacs come out, this front end will look different. This is the new face of Cadillac for the years going forward. The cool thing about the back end is because of the way they’ve shaped this. There is no need for a rear windshield wiper, the rain just bounces off the back of the vehicle. To open the trunk, the Cadillac symbol just gets a push and the trunk opens in the back. You are afforded 28 cubic feet of space for all your luggage. When you take a trip and the back seats fold down, with just a clever little push of the button, that increases the rear cargo space to 68 cubic feet of space in the back. That is enough room for five dogs. | https://www.fox46.com/automotive/here-is-the-first-electric-cadillac-the-lyriq/ | 2022-07-18T20:00:39Z | https://www.fox46.com/automotive/here-is-the-first-electric-cadillac-the-lyriq/ | true | 28 |
Second highest temperature on record in Ireland
Ireland has recorded its second highest temperature in history, according to Met Eireann.
A temperature of 33C was recorded at the Phoenix Park in Dublin on Monday.
This was just 0.3C cooler than the all-time high of 33.3C which was recorded at Kilkenny Castle on June 26, 1887.
A status yellow high temperature warning remains in place across the country as it faces another day of high heat.
The Phoenix Park temperature on Monday marks the highest recorded in the 21st century, overtaking 32.3C in Elphin, Co Roscommon on July 19, 2006.
It was also higher than any temperature recorded in the 20th century, and the highest temperature ever recorded in the capital, according to Met Eireann data.
It said: “Phoenix Park has broken the highest 21st temperature record with 33C which is Ireland’s highest of 2022 so far and 12.8C above normal.
“This is only 0.3C below the all-time 135-year-old record set at Kilkenny Castle in 1887. Temperatures may still rise further.”
The rise in temperatures has forced Met Eireann to issue a hot weather warning that is to last until midnight on Tuesday.
It said that exceptionally warm weather will occur over Ireland on Monday with daytime temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees generally and possibly up to 32 degrees in places.
Night time temperatures will range from 15 to 20 degrees.
People went to enjoy the heat in Phoenix Park.
Families flocked to the zoo as temperatures reached the low 30s, with children and adults buying 99s to help cool off.
Jackie, who works at the toy stall across from the zoo, said that her stalls are in the shade now, but the sun will come around by 4pm.
She said: “It’ll be boiling. It’s always very hot in the evenings here. But there’s a nice little breeze coming up the hollow now.”
Some sun worshippers bathed in the heat, while others retreated to shaded picnic benches to take a break from the unusually high temperatures for Ireland.
There appeared to be fewer dogs being brought for walks in the large park than normal, after people were warned not to expose their pets to the heat during the Status Yellow warning.
A cool breeze and bouts of overcast weather at the park provided some respite from the heat.
31-year-old Tadgh was out for a run in the Phoenix Park as the news broke that the temperature record for the year was broken.
“I could do without it,” he said of the heat.
“It’s hot enough, It’ll be fine if it stays that way,” he said, adding that he does not want it any hotter.
“I’m going slower than I usually go, the heart rate is higher, walking more than I usually do.
“I’m taking it easy, going as slow as I need to.”
In the southside of the city, people headed in their droves to the Forty Foot in Sandycove.
Aimee McDonagh, 27, who swims at the famous bathing spot regularly, said: “It’s absolutely nuts. All these blow-ins.
“All these kids with their speakers. I feel like an aul-wan. It’s like the middle of Ibiza. It’s good craic though.”
The Dublin hairdresser added: “Normally it’s very calm here but not today. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it like this.”
In nearby Dun Laoghaire, fewer people than usual were walking the East Pier.
Dubliner Derek Hand, 57, who was fishing off the pier with some friends, said it was “quieter than normal”.
“Everyone’s gone to the beach with all their kids,” he said.
The fish weren’t biting but he was looking on the bright side as he was “getting the colour”.
“Normally I take the T-shirt off but enough is enough – I’ve had too much. I don’t want to blister,” he added.
Met Eireann said that Tuesday will continue to be very warm over the eastern half of the country, with highest temperatures of 22-26 or 27 degrees, with cooler and fresher elsewhere though with highs of 16-22 degrees. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11025815/Second-highest-temperature-record-Ireland.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-18T20:03:46Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11025815/Second-highest-temperature-record-Ireland.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 12 |
Dr. Anthony Fauci says he plans to retire by end of Biden's current term
Dr. Anthony Fauci plans to retire by the end of President Joe Biden's current term in office, the government's top infectious disease expert told CNN on Monday.
Fauci, who serves as Biden's chief medical adviser and has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for decades, said he does not currently have a specific retirement date in mind nor has he started the process of retiring.
"I have said that for a long time," Fauci said of his plans to leave government before the end of Biden's current term, which ends in January 2025.
"By the time we get to the end of Biden's first term, I will very likely (retire)," Fauci said.
Video above: Fauci says he wants to do other things in his career
Politico published an interview with Fauci on Monday in which Fauci said he did not expect to remain in government until coronavirus is eradicated, because he said, "I think we're going to be living with this" for years to come.
Fauci told CNN's "At This Hour" later Monday that though his recent comments on retirement were interpreted as announcing a retirement plan, he just meant "that it is extremely unlikely -- in fact, for sure -- that I am not going to be here beyond January 2025."
Fauci said that he feels like he's established a good system at NIAID to facilitate a smooth transition at the agency and wants to pursue other career opportunities once he eventually leaves.
"Everybody in a position of any influence in my institute, I handpick. So it's something that I've been working on now for four decades. So we have a good system in place," Fauci told CNN's Kate Bolduan. "Obviously, you can't go on forever. I do want to do other things in my career, even though I'm at a rather advanced age. I have the energy and the passion to continue to want to pursue other aspects of my professional career and I'm going to do that some time. I'm not exactly sure when, but I don't see myself being in this job to the point where I can't do anything else after that."
At 81, Fauci has served more than five decades under seven presidents, advising every American president since Ronald Reagan.
In his time as director of the NIAID, Fauci has helped lead the federal public health response to the HIV/AIDS crisis, Ebola, the Zika virus and anthrax scares. But he was thrust into the national spotlight at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, emerging as a key voice in public health during the Trump administration.
Fauci and then-President Donald Trump publicly disagreed on how to approach the pandemic, what the correct message was for the American people and how to balance reopening with preventing further contagion. Through it all, Trump insisted he respected Fauci but disagreed with his approach. But at their relationship's low point, Trump suggested he was considering firing the doctor. Attacks from Trump's allies led to enhanced security for Fauci.
In 2020, Fauci told CNN's Sanjay Gupta he had to get security protection after his family received death threats and harassment.
Fauci told "At This Hour" on Monday that political pressures did not play into his decision to eventually leave his role.
"It has nothing to do with pressures, nothing to do with all of the other nonsense that you hear about, all the barbs, the slings and the arrows. That has no influence on me," he said.
Fauci said last November that he only expected to leave his role when the COVID-19 outbreak was "in the rearview mirror."
"I'm the director of the institute that has now been very important in the basic research in leading to the drugs that will now have an important impact in the treatment of COVID-19. That's what I do," Fauci told CBS' "Sunday Morning." "So, I'm going to keep doing that until this Covid-19 outbreak is in the rearview mirror, regardless of what anybody says about me, or wants to lie and create crazy fabrications because of political motivations." | https://www.wpbf.com/article/fauci-says-he-plans-to-retire-by-end-of-bidens-current-term/40642539 | 2022-07-18T20:05:04Z | https://www.wpbf.com/article/fauci-says-he-plans-to-retire-by-end-of-bidens-current-term/40642539 | false | 19 |
A creative poem was born anew from a presidential speech.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr‘s response to a question about the government’s free train ride program was turned into a poem on social media.
In a briefing on July 5, Marcos was asked about what the public can expect from the transport sector during his administration.
The reporter specified whether or not the provision of fuel subsidies and the implementation “Libreng Sakay” program would continue.
In his response, Marcos talked about his plans to expand the fuel subsidy program to include tricycle drivers.
The president, however, stuttered when he was discussing the future of the free train ride initiative.
Marcos initially said the program will still run under his term.
“The Libreng Sakay… what we have done is we will continue the Libreng Sakay but what we are going… we are going to stop the Libreng Sakay in MRT-3,” he said.
Free rides to MRT-3 passengers already ended on June 30.
But Marcos also admitted he could be misstating the details.
“We will transfer the Libreng Sakay to students… Sorry, I think I’m doing this wrong,” the new chief executive said.
Marcos quickly recovered and reiterated his earlier decision to carry on providing free rides to commuters.
“Libreng Sakay continues as is. That continues. But what we are going to do is we are going to do a program for the students. Because if they come in, we will fully subsidize first their pamasahe. We’ll phase it out because we cannot afford to keep that going. But students will ride for free on LRT 2, which is going to the university belt,” he said.
The transcript of this briefing can be viewed via the official website of the Presidential Communications Operations Office.
Based on reports, Transport Secretary Jaime Bautista confirmed on July 14 that free rides are exclusive to LRT-2 for students in the coming school year.
Prior to this, Marcos last July 1 extended the free rides at EDSA Carousel until December this year and also approved free transit for students who will ride the MRT-3 and LRT-2.
Meanwhile, days after Marcos’ remarks on the Libreng Sakay program, some online users arranged a poem out of his words from the briefing.
Given the title “Libreng Sakay,” they juxtaposed this poem with the ones that writers created from the ramblings of his predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte.
Social media users asked one another in jest who is the better orator between Marcos and Duterte.
Duterte’s national addresses during the COVID-19 pandemic inspired writers to arrange three poem-like structures. They are the following:
- The Kit – It came from Duterte’s supposed answer to the lack of COVID-19 testing kits in the country.
- The Pill – Duterte described a supposed pill that could kill the virus.
- Ang Ano – Duterte made some incoherent and incomplete phrases about his trip with former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
Other content formed from his talk
Other Filipinos, meanwhile, aired their reactions to Marcos’ remarks through creative content.
Filipino artist Isang Tasang Kape uploaded a comic strip that showed the dismay of a viewer.

A Reddit user also shared a supposed transcript of this speech with annotations.
The free-of-charge public transport services received some mixed cheers and jeers from commuters and drivers throughout its implementation.

Turnpike Troubadours bass player RC Edwards was excited to play Under The Big Sky Rodeo, Round-up and Music Festival at Big Mountain Ranch in Whitefish, Montana, this weekend – and even happier that his band is back together.
Turnpike Troubadours went on indefinite hiatus May 31, 2019, and started teasing fans on social media with their return in November of 2021. The band is on a summer tour that stopped in Whitefish, Montana, Friday, July 15 and will swing through Nashville to play two nights at Ryman Auditorium July 29-30.
Standing backstage minutes before the band headlined the festival’s largest stage, Edwards said: “Great event, great lineup, great backdrop, great weather, but then this whole year has kind of been important to us.”
“It’s just great to get the band back together doing what we love again and making music,” said Edwards, who released his debut solo project “Big Country” during the hiatus. “Our break was nice. We all did some little side to keep us busy, but it wasn’t Turnpike. It’s weird to think of a reunion, but I guess that’s what it is. It’s been a blast so far. You don’t even know how much you missed it until you’re finally all (together) again.”
Edwards said it’s undeniable that fans missed the band as much as the band missed playing together.
“It’s almost like making them cry, how excited people are about us,” he said. “You might take it for granted once in a while or forget something, but then when you see it again, you realize how lucky you are to get to do this and what you mean to people.”
About 20,000 fans cheered enthusiastically when Turnpike Troubadours took the stage as the sun went down. Still, Edwards said Ryman Auditorium’s more intimate audience would be just as meaningful to the group. The two nights the band will play the venue later this month mark the first time Turnpike Troubadours will be on the stage.
“That’s always kind of bucket list,” he said of playing Ryman Auditorium. “We’re super stoked for that. We’ll just be doing more of the same. It’s just kind of us. We’ve never really fit too clean into a category. We always say we’re a country band. We play country music, honkytonk music, and we like all kinds of music, so a lot of that filters into what we do.”
And he promised the band has a few surprises in store for fans sooner than later.
“We want people to know that there’s things cooking that they don’t even know about it,” he said. “They’re not even ready for it.” | http://www.cmt.com/news/1848062/turnpike-troubadours-talk-reunion-headlining-the-ryman/ | 2022-07-18T20:08:57Z | http://www.cmt.com/news/1848062/turnpike-troubadours-talk-reunion-headlining-the-ryman/ | false | 1 |

Sisulu pleased about accommodation figures, worried about flight shortages
Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu says she is pleased with the data released on Monday by Statistics SA (Stats SA) on tourist accommodation for May.
Stats SA said measured in nominal terms (current prices), total income for the tourist accommodation industry increased by 86.6% in May compared to May 2021.
Income from accommodation increased by 61.6% year-on-year in May , the result of a 31.9% increase in the number of stay unit nights sold and a 22.5% increase in the average income per stay unit night sold.
The tourism ministry said this meant total income from accommodation increased from R2.9bn in March to May 2021 to close to R4.6bn for the same period in 2022.
“While this is still below pre-Covid-19 levels, the steady recovery is encouraging,” Sisulu said.
However, she expressed concern about reported flight shortages, especially between Cape Town and Johannesburg.
“We need to guard the gains we have made in fostering the recovery of our sector and more collaborative efforts to manage the effects of the Covid-19 crisis are required.
“We cannot afford loss of confidence in our sector and country at this critical stage.”
Sisulu would continue to engage relevant stakeholders to understand the issues and seek solutions.

Test shows maturation of operationally relevant weapon concept
TUCSON, Ariz., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX) business, in partnership with Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC), successfully completed its second flight test of the scramjet-powered Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept, or HAWC, for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the U.S. Air Force.
This flight test applied the data and lessons learned from the first flight to mature the operationally relevant weapon concept design. The test met all primary and secondary objectives, including demonstrating tactical range capabilities.
"The test demonstrated how we've rapidly matured affordable scramjet technology, which is the basis for air-breathing weapons," said Colin Whelan, president of Advanced Technology for Raytheon Missiles & Defense. "Our second HAWC flight test success is an important milestone for our nation as we advance hypersonic systems."
During the flight test, after releasing HAWC from an aircraft and accelerating to hypersonic speeds using the scramjet engine, the vehicle flew a trajectory that engineers designed to intentionally stress the weapon concept to explore its limits and further validate digital performance models. These models, grounded in real-world flight data, are being used to accurately predict and increase performance as the system matures.
"The second flight test is a big step toward scramjet technology being mission ready," said Dan Olson, vice president and general manager of Weapon Systems for Northrop Grumman. "Nearly twenty years of scramjet propulsion research and development have come to fruition to significantly advance our nation's weapon capabilities."
Scramjet engines use high vehicle speed to forcibly compress incoming air before combustion to enable sustained flight at hypersonic speeds – Mach 5 or greater. The system was designed to use a widely available hydrocarbon fuel, and since it uses air for combustion, it does not have to carry the added weight of an onboard oxidizer. These key attributes allow for a safe, efficient, and tactically sized, long-range hypersonic weapon. By traveling at these speeds, hypersonic weapons like HAWC can reach their targets more quickly than traditional missiles, allowing them to potentially evade defense systems.
Raytheon Missiles and Defense and Northrop Grumman have been working together since 2019 to develop, produce and integrate Northrop Grumman's scramjet engines onto Raytheon's air-breathing hypersonic weapons. Their combined efforts enable both companies to produce air-breathing hypersonic weapons, the next generation of tactical missile systems.

No one was injured, and the suspect was taken into custody, police said.
In a statement on Twitter, Police Chief Johnny Jennings commended the department's staff for safely apprehending the suspect.

Damning report, new footage show chaos of Uvalde response
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — A damning report and hours of body camera footage further laid bare the chaotic response to a mass shooting at a Uvalde elementary school, where hundreds of law enforcement officers massed but then waited to confront the gunman even after a child trapped with the shooter called 911.
The findings of an investigative committee released Sunday were the first to criticize both state and federal law enforcement, and not just local authorities in the South Texas city for the bewildering inaction by heavily armed officers as a gunman fired inside two adjoining fourth-grade classrooms at Robb Elementary School, killing 19 students and two teachers.
Footage from city police officers’ body cameras made public hours later only further emphasized the failures — and fueled the anger and frustration of relatives of the victims.
“It’s disgusting. Disgusting,” said Michael Brown, whose 9-year-old son was in the school’s cafeteria on the day of the shooting and survived. “They’re cowards.”
Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to the school, but “egregiously poor decision making” resulted in more than an hour of chaos before the gunman was finally confronted and killed, according to the report written by an investigative committee from the Texas House of Representatives.
Together, the report and more than three hours of newly released body camera footage from the May 24 tragedy amounted to the fullest account to date of one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history.
“At Robb Elementary, law enforcement responders failed to adhere to their active shooter training, and they failed to prioritize saving innocent lives over their own safety,” the report said.
The gunman fired approximately 142 rounds inside the building — and it is “almost certain” that at least 100 shots came before any officer entered, according to the report, which laid out numerous failures. Among them:
— No one assumed command despite scores of officers being on the scene.
— The commander of a Border Patrol tactical team waited for a bulletproof shield and working master key for a door to the classrooms that may have not even been needed, before entering.
— A Uvalde Police Department officer said he heard about 911 calls that had come from inside the rooms, and that his understanding was the officers on one side of the building knew there were victims trapped inside. Still, no one tried to breach the classroom.
The committee didn’t “receive medical evidence” to show that police storming the classrooms sooner would have saved lives, but it concluded that “it is plausible that some victims could have survived if they had not had to wait 73 additional minutes for rescue.”
The findings had at least one immediate effect: Lt. Mariano Pargas, a Uvalde Police Department officer who was the city’s acting police chief during the massacre, was placed on administrative leave.
Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said an investigation would be launched to determine whether Pargas should have taken command of the scene. He also disclosed for the first time that some officers had left the force since the shooting but did not provide an exact number, saying it was as many as three.
Hours after the report was released, Uvalde officials separately made public for the first time hours of body camera footage from the city’s police officers who responded to the attack. It included video of several officers reacting to word from a dispatcher, roughly 30 minutes after the shooting began, that a child in the room had called 911.
“The room is full of victims. Child 911 call,” an officer said.
Other body camera video from Uvalde Staff Sgt. Eduardo Canales, the head of the city’s SWAT team, showed the officer approaching the classrooms when gunfire rang out at 11:37 a.m.
A minute later, Canales said: “Dude, we’ve got to get in there. We’ve got to get in there, he just keeps shooting. We’ve got to get in there.” Another officer could be heard saying “DPS is sending their people.”
It was 72 minutes later, at 12:50 p.m., when officers finally breached the classrooms and kill the shooter.
Calls for police accountability have grown in Uvalde since the shooting.
“It’s a joke. They’re a joke. They’ve got no business wearing a badge. None of them do,” Vincent Salazar, grandfather of 11-year-old Layla Salazar, who was among those killed, said Sunday.
Anger flashed in Uvalde even over how the report was rolled out: Tina Quintanilla-Taylor, whose daughter survived the shooting, shouted at the three-member Texas House committee as they left a news conference after the findings were released.
Committee members had invited families of the victims to discuss the report privately, but Quintanilla-Taylor said the committee should have taken questions from the community, not just the media.
“I’m pissed. They need to come back and give us their undivided attention,” she said later. “These leaders are not leaders,” she said.
According to the report, 376 law enforcement officers massed at the school. The overwhelming majority of those who responded were federal and state law enforcement. That included nearly 150 U.S. Border Patrol agents and 91 state police officials.
“Other than the attacker, the Committee did not find any ‘villains’ in the course of its investigation,” the report said. “There is no one to whom we can attribute malice or ill motives. Instead, we found systemic failures and egregiously poor decision making.”
The report noted that many of the hundreds of law enforcement responders who rushed to the school were better trained and equipped than the school district police — which the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, the state police force, previously faulted for not going into the room sooner.
Investigators said it was not their job to determine whether officers should be held accountable, saying that decisions rested with each law enforcement agency. Prior to Sunday, only one of the hundreds of officers on the scene — Pete Arredondo, the Uvalde school district police chief — was known to have been on leave.
“Everyone who came on the scene talked about this being chaotic,” said Texas state Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Republican who led the investigation.
Officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety and U.S. Border Patrol did not immediately return requests for comment Sunday.
The report followed weeks of closed-door interviews with more than 40 people, including witnesses and law enforcement who were on the scene of the shooting.
No single officer has received as much scrutiny since the shooting as Arredondo, who also resigned from his newly appointed seat on the City Council after the shooting. Arredondo told the committee he treated the shooter as a “barricaded subject,” according to the report, and defended never treating the scene as an active-shooter situation because he did not have visual contact with the gunman.
Arredondo also tried to find a key for the classrooms, but no one ever checked to see if the doors were locked, according to the report.
The report criticized as “lackadaisical” the approach of the hundreds of officers who surrounded the school and said that they should have recognized that Arredondo remaining in the school without reliable communication was “inconsistent” with him being the scene commander. The report concluded that some officers waited because they relied on bad information while others “had enough information to know better.”
The report was the result of one of several investigations into the shooting, including one led by the Justice Department.
Brown, the father of the 9-year-old who was in the cafeteria the day of the shooting, came to the committee’s news conference Sunday carrying signs saying, “We Want Accountability” and “Prosecute Pete Arredondo.”
Brown said he has not yet read the report but already knew enough to say that police “have blood on their hands.”

GREENWOOD, Ind. (AP) — A gunman who shot five people at a suburban Indianapolis shopping mall, killing three of them before a shopper shot and killed him, was a 20-year-old local man who was apparently facing eviction, authorities said Monday. Jonathan Sapirman, of Greenwood, began firing after leaving a bathroom at the Greenwood Park Mall shortly before it closed Sunday evening, the city’s police chief, James Ison, said at a news conference. Sapirman continued shooting people until he was shot and killed by 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken, of Seymour, a city about 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of Greenwood, who was shopping with his girlfriend, Ison said. “Many more people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen,” said the chief, noting that authorities were still trying to determine a motive for the attack. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2667439316296/bodies-of-migrants-who-died-in-texas-trailer-come-to-mexico | 2022-07-18T20:15:40Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2667439316296/bodies-of-migrants-who-died-in-texas-trailer-come-to-mexico | false | 1 |

Alongside these macro-categories were the return of special areas Discover Beauty, Discover Beauty Spotlights, Discover Green, and The Beauty Vanities, in addition to the Country Pavilions, featuring brands organized by international delegations from Argentina, Chile, China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Italy, Korea, Morocco, and Spain.
The launch of highly anticipated special areas Discover Black-Owned Beauty, highlighting Black-owned and founded beauty brands that was curated in collaboration with The Beauty International Group, and Beauty Tech, highlighting companies providing the latest technological and digital solutions, made their debuts in the West Hall and North Hall respectively.
The show also saw the return of notable programs such as the Buyer Program, connecting exhibitors with leading retailers, e-commerce platforms, international buyers, distributors, and brands including Aminco, Bloomingdale's, Cos Bar, The Detox Market, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Revlon, Shiseido, and Space NK along with first-time participants Target and Coupang, South Korea's largest online marketplace.
Through CosmoTalks, the global educational program powered by Cosmoprof, the exhibition hosted 12 seminars featuring speakers including top executives from The NPD Group, thirteen lune, Ulta Beauty, Unilever, and more. Entrepreneur Academy, a unique one-day intensive workshop for up-and-coming beauty entrepreneurs, was sold-out, as was the newly offered Cosmopack Education, with each of its nine beauty supply chain-centered sessions standing room only.
Also returning was CosmoTrends, featuring trends showcased among exhibitors, including FILL IT UP (refillable beauty), LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX, SUPERCHARGED SERUMS, TEXTURED TRESSES, ETHICALLY SOURCED, and WFH SPA, and the Cosmoprof and Cosmopack North America Awards, which honored the best in beauty among exhibitors across seven categories live at the event. Both initiatives were conducted in strategic partnership with BEAUTYSTREAMS.
Other notable highlights of the show included Boutique, the onsite sampling bar featuring deluxe-sized samples from 20 brands with proceeds donated to Strength In Beauty (A CUT IT OUT® grant for industry professionals), and the Press Zone, which connected exhibitors with influencers and press from leading publications like Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Refinery29, NewBeauty Seventeen, and Women's Wear Daily for one-on-one meetings. Also, the newly launched Innovation Studio at Cosmopack, showcasing innovation in the beauty supply chain across two installations on the show floor: LIFESCAPES, also in collaboration with BEAUTYSTREAMS, and Packaging Power!, presented by the FIT's Packaging Design BFA Program.
Cosmoprof North America will celebrate its 20th edition at the Las Vegas Convention Center on July 11-13, 2023.

Netizens reacted with good humor when they saw the countrywoman’s click
the unfollow that simaria gave in Simone, her sister and stage partner, continues to be talked about. This because the singer not only stopped following her duo, but also decided to unfollow some famous influencerswhich were his friends.
The matter reverberated on Sunday night (17), after Simone post a photoon his Instagram profile, enjoying the night at side of a group of famous influencers. Among them are: Álvaro, Gkay, Carlinhos Maia, Lucas Guimarães, Abrão Meron and Rica de Marré.
It so happened that some of these influencers were the ones who took the unfollow of the countrywoman’s sister. The publication had repercussions and was seen by some as a ‘provocation’ by Simone against Simaria, who even captioned the photo with the phrase: “night with the migles [amigos]”.
The attitude, pointed out by many netizens as debauchery, was widely commented on social media.. “Guys, only those blocked by Simaria“, joked a follower in the comments of the photo on Instagram. “Is that provocation?“said another. “I wanted to be a fly to hear the chats”, joked another. “The pure debauchery“said another. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/19/simone-posts-photo-alongside-influencers-who-took-unfollow-from-simaria-and-web-points-out-provocation-pure-debauchery/ | 2022-07-18T20:18:21Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/19/simone-posts-photo-alongside-influencers-who-took-unfollow-from-simaria-and-web-points-out-provocation-pure-debauchery/ | false | 1 |

In light of the recent spate of mass shootings, University of Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson is ditching his gun-themed nickname, AR-15. The nickname combined Richardson’s initials with his jersey number and has featured prominently in his branding. But the Gators player said in a written statement that he is working to rebrand, abandoning both the nickname and the associated line of apparel. “It is important to me that my name and brand are no longer associated with the assault rifle that has been used in mass shootings,” he said.
