MIAMI, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The telecom industry has long been under the threat of fraud. While traditional fraud management systems (FMS) have managed to stop some fraud attacks, there hasn't been a comprehensive solution. AB Handshake, a world-known force against voice fraud, is excited to present AI Shield, an AI-based FMS that eliminates voice fraud attacks in real-time on all inbound and outbound traffic on an operator's network.
The impact of fraud is summarised by the $39.9 bln lost annually to telcos worldwide, and this number keeps rising. The FCC is actively involved in the fight against global telecom fraud, with a special focus on robocalls. To mitigate this threat, AB Handshake has combined ML and Big Data technology in its latest product, AI Shield. This solution hits a new standard of 97% accuracy in detecting and preventing all major voice fraud types.
Inside AI Shield
- AI & ML: identifies telecom fraud patterns and spots well-disguised attacks early on.
- Real-time monitoring: detects and alerts or blocks attacks before they strike.
- Complex system based on 200+ parameters: mitigates all major fraud types.
AI Shield's immediate benefits:
- Saves time and money by stopping fraud in real time.

- Increases revenue by avoiding service denial. The built-in IVR module warns you when calling high-risk number ranges.

AI Shield is an all-in-one solution for voice fraud protection, delivering amazing cost savings from day one by preventing fraudulent calls in real-time and stopping revenue loss.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyse the effect of the School-Based Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Programme (Program Prevensi Pelecehan Seksual Berbasis Sekolah (P3SBS)) on first-grade primary school students' ability to protect themselves from sexual abuse. The study was conducted in two primary schools in Surakarta, Indonesia. Fifty-five students participated in the P3SBS and 55 participants were in the control group. The pre-test and post-test of the control group were designed to test the effectiveness of the P3SBS. In total, 110 first-grade primary school students who participated in the P3SBS and the control group were tested using the 'What If' Situation Test. Measurement of children's self-protection from sexual abuse was undertaken. The results show that there is a significant difference between the P3SBS and the control group regarding children's ability to self-protect themselves from sexual abuse. These results suggest that the P3SBS is effective in enhancing children's ability to protect themselves from sexual abuse. Suggestions for expanding sex education for older children are related to puberty. 'Analyse the effect of the School-Based Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Programme on first-grade primary school students' ability to protect themselves from sexual abuse' Key Practitioner Messages Child sexual abuse prevention should be school based to be effective. Child sexual abuse prevention programmes should be designed in accordance with children's characteristics. Parent-teacher collaboration is very important for the successful implementation of a sexual abuse prevention programme.

Ahead of Wednesday’s presidential election, Sri Lanka’s acting President Ranil Wickremesinghe has distanced himself from the disgraced Rajapaksa government, saying he was not in the "same administration” and was appointed to "handle the economy” of the bankrupt country.
Wickremesinghe, 73, on Tuesday was among three candidates proposed by lawmakers for Wednesday’s presidential election to pick Rajapaksa’s successor.
The 225-member Parliament will elect the next president who will complete the remaining tenure of former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who resigned last week.
There’s growing discontent brewing amongst the public over Wickremesinghe’s presidential nomination, who many consider to be more of the same, since he was part of the previous Rajapaksa administration.
I’m not the same, people know thatI came here to handle the economy, Wickremesinghe told CNN in an interview on Monday, as he sought to distance himself from Rajapaksa, the person under whom he had worked for the past two months torescue the crisis-hit Sri Lankan economy.
Wickremesinghe said the erstwhile Rajapaksa regime was covering up facts about the country’s crippling financial crisis, and assured the island nation’s beleaguered economy would stabilise by the end of next year.
He was sworn-in as the acting President on Friday after Rajapaksa fled to the Maldives and then to Singapore from where he resigned in the face of public revolt against his government’s mishandling of the country’s economy.
The previous government was lyingcovering up facts about the fact that Sri Lanka was bankrupt and we need to go to the IMF (for a bailout package), Wickremesinghe said during the interview.
In March 2022, Sri Lanka had to pay USD 7 billion in debts, when it had a little over USD 1 billion in foreign exchange reserves. On April 12, the island nation defaulted on loan repayments and sought restructuring its debt.
Worried by the International Monetary Fund’s stringent conditions, the Rajapaksa administration continued to defer on appealing to the international lender for a bailout package, surviving on the lifeline of close to USD 4 billion handed out by India.
The IMF, which has been in talks with the previous Rajapaksa government for a possible USD 3 billion bailout package, said it was monitoring events in Sri Lanka closely.
In the interview, Wickremesinghe said he would like to tell the people that he knew what they are suffering, and exuded confidence that the cash-strapped economy would begin to stabilise by the end of next year.
"We have gone back. We have to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps. We don’t need five years or 10 years. By the end of next year let’s start stabilising, and certainly by 2024 let’s have a functioning economy which will start growing, he said.
Petrol has been severely rationed and long, serpentine queues were a common sight in front of filling stations leading to frequent clashes. The government has asked people to work from home and closed schools in an effort to conserve fuel.
Headline inflation in the country of 22 million hit 54.6 per cent last month, with the country’s central bank warning that it could surge to 70 per cent in the near future.
Wickremesinghe said he had spoken to Rajapaksa since he fled to the Maldives, and then travelled to Singapore, but denied having knowledge about the former leader’s current whereabouts. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/sri-lankas-acting-president-wickremesinghe-says-he-was-not-part-of-rajapaksa-administration-8850851.html | 2022-07-19T12:51:05Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/sri-lankas-acting-president-wickremesinghe-says-he-was-not-part-of-rajapaksa-administration-8850851.html | true | 4 |

HERTFORD — Everyone knew it was a drill. Even so, the shots that rang out in the Perquimans County High School cafeteria Thursday, July 14, and the enraged screams of a man portraying an active shooter were unsettling sounds in this close-knit community.
PCHS Principal Mickey Drew was at his lunch duty post in the cafeteria as he might be on an actual school day when the simulated armed intruder incident began.
Drew led people out of the cafeteria as quickly as he could when the incident started. A lockdown was then announced over the school’s intercom.
As law enforcement officers participating in the drill began to arrive they started to encounter people portraying shooting victims, some of whom had already died, others who were severely wounded.
They also began to learn from some of those portraying victims that there might be more than one active shooter inside the school building.
“There’s two of them,” one of the actors portraying a wounded victim told arriving officers. “One shot me and one went that way,” pointing
It turned out there were actually three shooters in all. Two were “killed” by law enforcement and a third was taken into custody. But not before three people portraying victims in the exercise were “killed” and 12 others were “wounded.”
Perquimans County Schools Superintendent Tanya Turner participated in Thursday’s armed intruder exercise in her regular role as superintendent. She was in the command center along with law enforcement and emergency services authorities.
Turner said in an interview before the exercise began that participating was a difficult thing to do even though she knew it was a drill.
“I’m not looking forward to this,” she said.
The superintendent said she had been involved with armed intruder drills before but had never taken part in one as large as the one last week.
More than 50 law enforcement officers and other emergency responders participated. They were from Perquimans County as well as neighboring Pasquotank, Chowan and Gates counties.
In a briefing just prior to the start of the drill, Turner thanked the law enforcement officers and emergency services personnel for taking part in an important exercise.
“We would all like to think, and we would hope, that this would never happen,” Turner said.
But it’s necessary to be prepared in case it does happen, she said.
In fact, “it” did just happen in May in Uvalde, Texas, where an armed teenage gunman entered Robb Elementary School and shot to death 19 schoolchildren and two teachers.
Turner said she appreciates the community’s support for the Perquimans schools. She’s also thankful, she said, for the district’s partnerships with law enforcement agencies and emergency services.
She said she hoped everyone learned something from the drill that would be helpful in the event of an actual emergency.
Perquimans County Emergency Services Director Jonathan Nixon advised first responders taking part in the drill that in the case of an actual emergency breaking out during the exercise, they should notify the staff supervising the drill and proceed to the emergency.
Perquimans County Sheriff Shelby White reminded all law enforcement officers to secure their weapons and to check each other’s weapons to ensure they were secured.
Drew explained that the high school had been set up based on a normal day at the school and he would be in the cafeteria on lunch duty when the incident started.
“We thank you for coming out,” Drew told the emergency responders participating in the drill and the community volunteers.
Drew said the drill is good preparation that can help protect students.
The principals of the other three schools in the district were on location as observers. | https://www.dailyadvance.com/perquimans/news/local/planning-for-the-unimaginable-responders-drill-for-armed-intruder/article_8c684454-c1ce-5ed4-94e2-97212007754d.html | 2022-07-19T12:56:22Z | https://www.dailyadvance.com/perquimans/news/local/planning-for-the-unimaginable-responders-drill-for-armed-intruder/article_8c684454-c1ce-5ed4-94e2-97212007754d.html | true | 3 |
Stunning images show lighting strikes that startled Cornwall today
One remarkable video captured a group of workers jumping out of their skin as lightning struck nearby
Stunned onlookers have captured some remarkable pictures of a passing lightning storm across Cornwall today. Captured through the lens, these snaps show parts of the county glowing amid strikes which mostly hit in west Cornwall.
Many were startled as the blows hit high points throughout the region with one particularly remarkable video capturing the moment a group of workers near Penzance were seen jumping out of their skin as lightning hit nearby scaffolding.
While there is no yellow weather warning for thunderstorms across Cornwall, there is one towards London and surrounding areas. The Met Office however says there could still be some thunderstorms for the South West throughout the rest of Tuesday, and into Wednesday morning (July 20). So while the worst of it has passed, there may be some more strikes yet to come.

World famous Bhangra star Balwinder Safri leaves hospital after 'miracle' wake up from coma
World famous bhangra musician Balwinder Safri has defied the odds after waking up from a coma following heart surgery.
Mr Safri, from Birmingham, was admitted on 20th April to New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton earlier this year over heart concerns.
Complications with a triple bypass surgery meant Mr Safri had to undergo another which left him in a coma.
Following a CT scan, the 63-year-old's family were told he suffered brain damage and to prepare for the worst.
Mr Safri's wife, Nikki Davitt, couldn't believe it when she heard her husband speak while sitting at his bedside.
"It’s a miracle,” she said. "There are no other words to describe it. There were so many times when we thought ‘this is it’."
"I remember a call from critical care one night and they asked me to come to the hospital as soon as I could as they didn’t think Safri was going to make it through the night, but he always pulled through."
“He is incredible. I always knew he was strong.”
Mrs Safri said, “I will never ever forget hearing Safri say ‘yes I can hear you’ – I was overcome with emotion.”
After 27 days in critical care, Mr Safri responded to a student nurse's call who asked 'can you hear me' in Punjabi.
Mr Safri continued his ‘miraculous’ recovery from then and was applauded when he was discharged from hospital.
He will now spend time in a specialist rehabilitation centre and receive support for his mobility and speech.
Who is Balwinder Safri?
Balwinder Safri was born in India but has been a part of the UK bhangra scene since 1980.
He formed the band Safri Boys in 1990, who released the songs Bomb the Tumbi, Another Fine Mess and Get Real. | https://www.itv.com/news/central/2022-07-19/world-famous-bhangra-star-balwinder-safri-defies-odds-and-wakes-up-from-coma | 2022-07-19T12:58:09Z | https://www.itv.com/news/central/2022-07-19/world-famous-bhangra-star-balwinder-safri-defies-odds-and-wakes-up-from-coma | false | 1 |
Parts of Crawley have been impacted by power outages this morning (July 19). Two separate incidents caused widespread outages across large sections of the town with traffic lights near K2 leisure centre turning off as a result.
The outages come at a time in which temperatures in the town are expected to reach 35C later this afternoon. The unprecedented heatwave has seen an amber weather warning implemented by the Met Office with many people likely using fans and other means to keep cool.
News of the power outages has been shared online. Both outages affected the southern section of Crawley including Tilgate, Broadfield and Pease Pottage.

The first power cut covers a large section of Crawley including all of Broadfield and parts of Pease Pottage. The time in which power is likely to come back on is yet to be confirmed but several organisations, including Crawley Town Football Club, reported that the outage has affected their operations.
Traffic lights near K2 Leisure Centre and Broadfield Park have also reportedly lost power. Traffic site Inrix has said: "Traffic lights not working on Broadfield Park at A23 Brighton Road."
On their website, UK Power Networks offered a reason for the outage. They said: "We were investigating an overhead electricity line that has been damaged in the local area."
The second outage covered a large section of Tilgate. Having first been reported in middle of Tuesday morning, the issue was resolved and power was restored at around midday. Tilgate and Broadfield are believed to have a combined population of more than 20,000 people. It is not known how many properties in the area have been affected.

Putin handed massive boost as Iran 'ready to export weapons' to Russia
VLADIMIR PUTIN has been handed a massive boost as Iran is "ready" to export military equipment to his troops, reports claim.
Russia’s links with Iran discussed by former military adviser
Russian and Ukrainian forces last week suggested Moscow’s forces are preparing for the next stage of their offensive. But analysts suspect that given the rapid rate of ammunition and artillery use in the ongoing conflict, they would first need to regroup and stock up on resources.
The Kremlin could be about to receive support on the latter from Tehran.
Last week, Iranian officials were said to be preparing to send “several hundreds of drones” to Russia for use in the Ukraine war.
Its army ground forces commander Kiumars Heydari has now added “we are ready to export military equipment and weapons”, according to the Young Journalists Club.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian rejected such claims in a call with his Ukrainian counterpart on Friday.
The provision of military equipment would come as a blow to the West which has attempted to isolate Russia on the world stage through a series of sanctions, which also hurt home economies.
Just last month, intelligence officials argued Moscow would soon exhaust its combat capabilities by running out of arms.
One senior Western official told the Washington Post: “There will come a time when the tiny advances Russia is making become unsustainable in light of the costs.
“They will need a significant pause to regenerate capability.”

Such a pause is understood to have been taking place in recent weeks, though new advances could be made in those to come.
Ukraine is also suffering on the ammunition front – in fact, on a much greater level, given its weaker starting point.
An intelligence report by Ukrainian and Western officials revealed in June that Ukraine was outgunned 20 to one in artillery by Russia and 40 to one in ammunition.

The situation, the report, seen by the Independent, added, was – and is – having “a seriously demoralising effect on Ukrainian forces”.
Not only this, but also “a very real material effect; cases of desertion are growing every week”.
The West is continuing to provide backing to Ukraine, but itself suffers from low stockpiles after decades of poor management.
Britain last month had to buy howitzers from a third party to send to Ukraine because of its own deficiencies.
Iran said it opposed the war after Russian troops first moved into Ukraine in February, but it has pointed the finger of blame at NATO.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian claimed the “special military invasion” was “rooted” in the military alliance’s “provocations”. | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1642732/putin-news-massive-boost-Iran-export-weapons-russia-ukraine-war | 2022-07-19T13:04:04Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1642732/putin-news-massive-boost-Iran-export-weapons-russia-ukraine-war | true | 1 |
AN ELEGANCE coach has revealed which ten mistakes make women look tacky whilst on holiday.
With the summer now in full force, many are looking to go abroad - whether it's exploring the exotic coasts somewhere in Asia or heading to the South of France for a short getaway.
If you have some travels planned but still haven't packed your luggage, don't rush just yet, as according to one expert, Anna Bey, there are be ten major fashion errors you could be making.
Offering a helping hand to those who want look elegant when on holiday, Anna took it to her YouTube channel to share the list of Dos and Don'ts.
No running shoes
''I would never tell you 'Wear heels, wear wedges' when you're sightseeing - because it's gonna kill your feet.''
But although the most comfortable option that comes to mind is a pair of running shoes, Anna recommended swapping these for simple white trainers.
Sneakers and a dress
''This is your formula to look like an expensive-looking tourist this summer.''
Although this might not apply to glam evening dresses, there are countless daytime skirts and dresses that look elegant paired with white trainers.
Linen
''To look more expensive in summer, you have to wear more linen.''
Not only will your outfit appear more chic, but linen, unlike polyester which traps heat, is a breathing fabric that will allow your skin to cool.
Most read in Fabulous
No sports wear
''That is what downgrades your appearance. That is what gives you more masculinity,'' Anna said.
''You don't look elevated whatsoever.''

Dress modestly
''If you know you're gonna be sightseeing and especially visiting churches, temples, don't wear your hot pants, don't wear your crop top, don't wear shorts, don't wear spaghetti straps.
''Dress a little bit more modestly.
''I think it's important to respect other people,'' Anna explained.
A daytime hat
''Number six how to look expensive as a tourist is when you add a beautiful daytime hat.
''Have a little bit more glam going on.''
The hat, whether it's a beach hat or a straw hat, will also protect your head from the harsh sun and heat.
Avoid backpacks and fanny packs
''If you're someone who wants to, let's say, improve your femininity, I think those two bags are gonna give you a lot of masculine energy.''
Anna also chuckled: ''Whenever I wear a backpack, I feel a little bit like I'm a dork back at school again.''
Instead, she recommended, opt for a small crossover bag.
Sleeveless shirts
''They might look like you're wearing a little bit more fabric but actually, you have loads of breathing space.
''When you wear that together with a high-waist skirt or a high-waist short, it just gives you that elegance.''
Avoid jeans hot pants
''I don't think it's a very attractive garment.''
Rather than packing a pair of denim shorts, Anna advised to swap these for ones made of linen or white bottoms.
''It's easy to style because any colour can match those white shorts.''
Sunglasses
''I do find that the most elegant sunglasses are always the ones that are mysterious and a little bit oversized.'' | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19246908/holiday-mistakes-tacky-fashion-trainers/ | 2022-07-19T13:04:10Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19246908/holiday-mistakes-tacky-fashion-trainers/ | true | 4 |

Zarah Sultana voted against a motion expressing confidence in the Government but could not stop it from passing in the House of Commons on Monday.
Unusually, the vote was tabled by the Government because it refused to accept the wording of a Labour motion after Boris Johnson announced he was staying on as Prime Minister until the autumn.
MPs were asked whether "this House has confidence in Her Majesty's government", with defeat almost certainly triggering a general election.
The Coventry South MP voted against the motion, alongside the vast majority of her Labour colleagues, though it passed 349-238.
Voting against the motion were 181 Labour MPs, 37 SNP MPs, 12 Lib Dem MPs, two Independent MPs, one SDLP MP, one Alliance MP, three Plaid Cymru MPs and one Green Party MP .
Meanwhile, 342 Tory MPs, six DUP MPs and one Independent MP voted for it.
There were just 48 who abstained or did not vote – 16 Labour MPs, 12 Tory MPs, seven SNP MPs, two DUP MPs, six Independent MPs, one SDLP MP, two Alba Party MPs and two Lib Dem MPs.
The vote counts do not include the four MPs who acted as tellers, the seven Sinn Féin MPs who do not take their seats, the Speaker or the three Deputy Speakers. | https://www.warwickshireworld.com/your-warwickshire/coventry/how-did-zarah-sultana-mp-vote-on-the-confidence-motion-3773550 | 2022-07-19T13:08:16Z | https://www.warwickshireworld.com/your-warwickshire/coventry/how-did-zarah-sultana-mp-vote-on-the-confidence-motion-3773550 | true | 7 |
Cape Town - Western Cape MEC for Transport Daylin Mitchell has raised concerns about the high number of speeding offences in the province.
He said the number of speeding offences recorded in the Western Cape between July 11 and 17 was 404.
He said this was almost double the number of speeding offences recorded the week prior.
“I want to send a stern warning to all drivers who are speeding and those who are not complying with the rules of the road. I want to caution drivers and all road users to keep within the speed limit.
“Speeding is a serious concern. The faster you drive, the less time you have to respond to an emergency and the more space you need to stop to avoid a crash. Speeding is irresponsible and dangerous,” Mitchell said.
He also called for motorists to show consideration for pedestrians as they are almost always likely killed in collisions with vehicles travelling more than 60km/h.
“Slowing down will give you more time to avoid pedestrians on the road. If you are travelling more slowly and you collide with a pedestrian, the pedestrian is more likely to survive. Pedestrians, likewise, are cautioned to only cross the road at formal road crossings.
“I urge everyone to play a role in improving road safety for pedestrians, cyclists, passengers and drivers. I encourage motorists to be vigilant on the road, and pedestrians to make themselves visible to motorists, especially at night and in the early morning,” Mitchell said.
During this period, the Provincial Traffic Services implemented 175 integrated roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints and speed control operations across the province and 30 452 vehicles were stopped and checked.
A total of 7 987 fines were issued for various traffic violations, 23 vehicles were impounded and 39 vehicles were discontinued for unroadworthiness.
Officers also arrested 59 suspects of whom 41 were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
During this period, 29 crashes were recorded, resulting in 30 fatalities of which 14 were pedestrians.
“Never speed. Speeding is especially risky when visibility is poor and when roads are wet. Speeding drivers risk the lives of the people in their vehicles, and the lives of others.
“It is best to travel slowly and carefully. It’s the only way that you will be able to react to emergencies in time,” Mitchell said. | https://www.iol.co.za/news/traffic/speeding-offences-doubled-in-a-week-says-western-cape-transport-department-cf5977b4-c901-4772-9d0d-9c7c9b2fade6 | 2022-07-19T13:12:40Z | https://www.iol.co.za/news/traffic/speeding-offences-doubled-in-a-week-says-western-cape-transport-department-cf5977b4-c901-4772-9d0d-9c7c9b2fade6 | false | 1 |

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — For more than two hours, pesky Gotytom Gebreslase of Ethiopia ran pretty much within elbow distance of her Kenyan rival. Judith Jeptum Korir kept glaring over her shoulder and gesturing to Gebreslase to take her turn in the lead.
When Gebreslase finally moved to the front, she never looked back.
Patient and lurking for all but six or so minutes, Gebreslase finally rocketed around Korir in Monday’s marathon at the world championships and turned what was shaping up to be a close finish into a nine-second victory.
Gebreslase captured gold in a championship-record time of 2 hours, 18 minutes, 11 seconds, with Korir taking silver.
“I felt strong,” Gebreslase said, “and decided to leave.”
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 flat, fast streets of Eugene and Springfield. Tamirat Tola won the men’s race the day before in a championship-record time as well.
The two-runner women’s show was set up when Korir and Gebreslase pulled away from the field at around the 17-mile mark (27 kilometers). Soon after, they stretched their gap over the next pack to nearly a minute.
Out in front, Korir grew more and more agitated as she did most of the work in the lead while Gebreslase literally tucked herself in behind Korir’s elbow.
Korir kept looking back, motioning for Gebreslase to take her turn in setting the blistering pace.
It’s not uncommon at longer distances for opponents to alternate racing in front in the early stages, allowing everyone to take turns conserving energy. Then, late in the race, all bets are off.
In this race, though, Gebreslase was content running one step behind Korir.
“It bothered me a bit, the fact that she did not want to pace with me,” Korir said.
The tactic worked, as Gebreslase saw an opening, surged ahead and sped away.
“The Ethiopian runners are very fast,” said Korir, whose medal was the 11th overall in the women’s world marathon for Kenya. “It not easy to be run with them, but I tried my best.”
On a crisp morning with the temperature hovering around 50-degree Fahrenheit (10 Celsius), Gebreslase broke the championship record of 2:20:57 set by Paula Radcliffe of Britain in 2005 in Helsinki.
This reflected just how fast the race was: The time of Nazret Weldu of Eritrea was 2:20:29, which would’ve been a championship record. She wound up fourth.
The lead pack took off quickly and left behind many in the 40-runner field early on. The race changed complexion around the 12-mile mark (19 kilometers) when defending champion Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya dropped back and later dropped out.
The 39-year-old Hall got 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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden signed an executive order Tuesday aimed at increasing the flow of information to families of Americans detained abroad and at imposing sanctions on the criminals, terrorists or government officials who hold them captive.
It is unclear if the new order will result in bringing home more Americans jailed in foreign countries, but senior Biden administration officials who previewed the action to reporters said they regard it as an important way to raise the cost of hostage-taking and to punish captors.
The executive order is being announced as the administration faces criticism from some families over a perceived lack of creativity and aggressiveness in getting their loved ones home. It also comes as the ongoing detention in Russia of WNBA star Brittney Griner has brought increased attention to the population of Americans who are jailed abroad and designated by the U.S. as wrongfully detained.
The action relies on a section of the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act — named after a retired FBI agent who vanished in Iran 15 years ago and is now presumed dead — that authorizes the president to impose sanctions, including visa revocations, on people believed to be involved in the wrongful detention of Americans.
In this case, officials said, that could apply to government officials or to criminals or terrorists unaffiliated with a government. Since sanctions may not always help facilitate a jailed American's release — Russia's invasion of Ukraine, for instance, has proceeded despite a wave of economic sanctions from Western allies — such punishment is expected to be used judiciously, according to one official who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the administration.
Another element of the order will direct federal agencies to do better at sharing information and intelligence with families of detainees about the latest status of their case and efforts to get their loved one home.
In addition, the State Department is adding a new risk indicator to its country-specific travel advisories to warn travelers about nations where there's believed to be an elevated risk of detention.
The department already uses foreign travel risk indicators for categories including crime, health and kidnapping. Officials said the new risk indicator, marked as “D” for detention, will be applied at least initially to the following countries: Burma, China, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Venezuela.
Relatives of jailed Americans are gathering in Washington, D.C., this week for the unveiling of a mural to honor the detainees. Administration officials would not say whether Biden would meet with the families.
Jonathan Franks, a spokesman for the Bring Our Families Home Campaign, a group that advocates for the interests of hostages and detainees, said in a statement that the “families continue to await a reply to their requests for meetings with President Biden.”
Franks said that rather than engaging with the families in a meaningful way, “the White House is taking executive action to direct itself to follow existing law.”

(The Hill) — The tug of war between Jan. 6 investigators and the Secret Service will hit a critical point on Tuesday when the panel examining the Capitol riot expects to receive a trove of agency text messages that could lend new insights into former President Donald Trump’s actions that day.
The transfer, if it materializes, follows several days of confusion and finger-pointing surrounding the elusive messages, which a government watchdog told the committee “were erased” by the Secret Service — only to have the agency deny the charge outright.
The accusation led the House select committee to subpoena the Secret Service for the texts late Friday night, just hours after the panel met with Joseph Cuffari, the inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security.
Cuffari, a Trump appointee, had sent the committee a letter earlier in the week saying the agency had expunged text messages from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021, “as part of a device-replacement program.” The erasure came “after OIG [Office of Inspector General] requested records of electronic communications” from the agency, Cuffari wrote.
The Jan. 6 investigators have accused Trump of inciting the Capitol attack in an effort to cling to power after his election defeat, and they’re eager to learn if the “erased” messages might reveal new details about Trump’s actions and intentions surrounding the insurrection.
The focus on the Secret Service has gained new urgency since last month, when a former top West Wing aide testified about a confrontation between Trump and his security detail on Jan. 6, after the president was informed he would not be driven to the Capitol to join the protest there. The aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, delivered that explosive account secondhand, and some of the agents involved have since disputed it, albeit not directly.
Given the discrepancies, the select committee is aiming to cast a wide net when it comes to the Secret Service, which on Jan. 6 was protecting not only Trump but also his vice president, Mike Pence, who was a key target of the violent mob that stormed the Capitol.
Their subpoena gave the agency until Tuesday morning to deliver the disputed communications.
“There was a statement made by the spokesperson for the department saying that it wasn’t true, it wasn’t fair and that they, in fact, had pertinent texts,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) said in a Sunday appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” referring to the agency’s rebuttal of Cuffari’s account. “And we go, ‘Fine, if you have them, we need them.’ ”
“And we expect to get them by this Tuesday. So we’ll see,” added Lofgren, a member of the House Jan. 6 committee.
On the heels of Friday’s summons, Tuesday’s deadline is the fastest turnaround the panel has demanded from one of its subpoena targets, a sign lawmakers have little patience for resolving the mystery over the messages as the public hearing phase of the investigation winds down.
Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Secret Service, said the agency will comply with the 10 a.m. Tuesday deadline but that much of what it has to turn over will replicate what it has already shared with the committee.
He denied the existence of any “hidden messages” the agency was concealing or anything else officials are “holding out” from the panel.
“We’re going to respond to all five sections of the subpoena in thorough detail,” Guglielmi told The Hill Monday, running through a list of what has been provided to investigators.
“We additionally provided almost 800,000 documents, emails, radio transmissions, planning records, operational plans, Microsoft Teams chat messages — we provided all that stuff. We are going to provide all of that. We’re going to answer every single response to the committee’s subpoena as best as we physically can.”
The Secret Service last week said the accusations from Cuffari were categorically false and described the loss of data as part of a “pre-planned, three-month system migration.”
“In that process, data resident on some phones was lost,” the agency said at the time.
Guglielmi said Secret Service agents were advised to upload data from their phones, but because the agency avoids text messages for security concerns, there were few to share.
“It’s hard for people to understand, but we do not communicate via text message. It is in policy that you do not conduct business via text message,” he said.
“There’s no reason for us to say the texts were lost. I mean, how do you know that those people texted? They were told to upload their official records, and they did. So this is partly what we’re going to communicate to the committee, all of the data that we have. People say texts were lost. How do you know texts were sent?”
During Friday’s closed-door meeting, Cuffari maintained that messages were lost and expressed optimism there may be some way to reconstruct them using various forensic tools, according to The Guardian.
As lawmakers on the committee made the rounds on Sunday talk shows, many stressed that the Secret Service could be in violation of federal records laws if they were unable to preserve data, let alone at such a critical point in time.
“That’s what we have to get to the bottom of,” Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.) said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“There’s a requirement for federal agencies to maintain records,” she continued. “An agency that was such a key part of a critical event in our history — one would assume they have done everything possible to preserve those records, to analyze them, to determine what kind of things went right or went wrong that day.”
Lofgren said the committee simply needs “all the texts from the 5th and the 6th.”
“I was shocked to hear that they didn’t back up their data before they reset their iPhones. That’s crazy. I don’t know why that would be,” she said.
“But we need to get this information to get the full picture.”
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), another member of the committee, also expressed disbelief that the Secret Service would have erased any communications surrounding Jan. 6, blasting the agency for what he characterized as “conflicting” explanations.
“In the very least, it is quite crazy that the Secret Service would actually end up deleting anything related to one of the more infamous days in American history,” he said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.” “Particularly when it comes to the role of the Secret Service.” | https://wgno.com/news/nmw/secret-service-set-to-turn-over-erased-jan-6-texts/ | 2022-07-19T13:25:45Z | https://wgno.com/news/nmw/secret-service-set-to-turn-over-erased-jan-6-texts/ | true | 17 |
Wildfire coverage complements the California FAIR Plan, closes coverage gaps for high-value residential
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Amwins Access, a nationwide binding and brokerage platform for small P&C and Personal Lines accounts, announced the launch of two excess wildfire products for residential properties in California. Amwins' single and multi-peril wildfire products were designed to complement a self-insured retention plan or the California FAIR (or a similar) plan. The products were written in partnership with an AM Best, A rated carrier.
California is home to the largest number of properties at extreme wildfire risk in the United States. According to the Insurance Information Institute, the top 10 costliest wildfires have occurred in California with eight of those occurring within the last five years. As losses mount, insurers and reinsurers continue to limit their exposure to catastrophe-prone markets. This drives residential property owners to lower-limit, public coverage plans like the California FAIR plan which caps dwelling coverage limits at $3 million.
Amwins' excess wildfire products were developed for high-value residential properties, including tenant-occupied and vacation rentals, that are not eligible for primary insurance. The single-peril product is specific to wildfire loss. The multi-peril product provides fire, including wildfire, and extended coverages consistent with the California FAIR (and similar) plans up to a dwelling replacement cost of $10 million. Amwins will add additional capacity to both programs over time.
"A decade of wildfire losses in California created the perfect storm for exposed, high-value residential properties," said Scott Sauter, personal lines practice leader for Amwins Access. "Along with the capacity challenges, the situation makes the process of placing coverage more complex, leaving insureds vulnerable to last-minute cancellations and outsized losses."
With climate change and weather patterns indicating there's little relief in sight, the Personal Lines team at Amwins Access took on the challenge of the California wildfire market head-on.
"Our strategy at Amwins Access is two-fold: first, to deliver profitable results and best-in-class distribution for our market partners; and second, to problem-solve on behalf of our retail agent partners and build innovative products around their needs," said David Lavins, president of Amwins Access. "That focus, in addition to months of productive collaboration with our market partners, contributed to a successful launch of excess wildfire products in California."
As a leading wholesale distributor and underwriter of insurance products, Amwins offers a range of primary wildfire solutions in California in addition to the new excess wildfire products. The firm also provides retail agents in California with a one-stop-solution for admitted and non-admitted personal lines products, including primary and excess flood coverage.
Amwins' excess wildfire products are available in California only and to Amwins appointed retail partners exclusively. For more information, contact your Amwins Access broker or visit our website to request an appointment.

Updated July 19, 2022 at 9:06 AM ET
LONDON — Britain shattered its record for highest temperature ever registered Tuesday amid a heat wave that has seized swaths of Europe — and the national weather forecaster predicted it would get hotter still in a country ill prepared for such extremes.
The typically temperate nation was just the latest to be walloped by unusually hot, dry weather that has gripped the continent since last week, triggering wildfires from Portugal to the Balkans and leading to hundreds of heat-related deaths. Images of flames racing toward a French beach and Britons sweltering — even at the seaside — have driven home concerns about climate change.
The U.K. Met Office registered a provisional reading of 40.2 degrees Celsius (104.4 degrees Fahrenheit) at Heathrow Airport — breaking the record set just an hour earlier. Before Tuesday, the highest temperature recorded in Britain was 38.7 C (101.7 F), a record set in 2019.
The nation watched the mercury rise with a combination of horror and fascination. With several hours of intense sunlight ahead, the record could go even higher.
"Temperatures are likely to rise further through today,'' the forecaster said after the first record fell.
The sweltering weather has disrupted travel, health care and schools in a country not prepared for such extremes. A huge chunk of England, from London in the south to Manchester and Leeds in the north, remained under the country's first "red" warning for extreme heat Tuesday, meaning there is danger of death even for healthy people.
London streets saw less traffic, as many heeded advice to stay out of the sun, and trains ran at low speed out of concern rails could buckle, or did not run at all. The British Museum — which has a glass-roofed atrium — planned to shut its doors early. And the Supreme Court closed to visitors after a problem with the air conditioning forced it to move hearings online.
Many public buildings, including hospitals, don't even have air conditioning, a reflection of how unusual such extreme heat is in the country better known for rain and mild temperatures.
The capital's Hyde Park, normally busy with walkers, was eerily quiet — except for the long lines to take a dip in the park's Serpentine lake.
"I'm going to my office because it is nice and cool,'' said geologist Tom Elliott, 31, after taking a swim. "I'm cycling around instead of taking the Tube.''
London's King's Cross Station, one of the country's busiest rail hubs, was empty on Tuesday, with no trains on the typically bustling east coast line connecting the capital to the north and Scotland. London's Luton Airport closed its runway for several hours Monday because of heat damage.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said Britain's transport infrastructure, some of it dating from Victorian times, "just wasn't built to withstand this type of temperature — and it will be many years before we can replace infrastructure with the kind of infrastructure that could."
The dangers of extreme heat were on display in Britain and around Europe. At least six people were reported to have drowned across the U.K. in rivers, lakes and reservoirs while trying to cool off. Meanwhile, nearly 750 heat-related deaths have been reported in Spain and neighboring Portugal in the heat wave there.
The highest temperature previously recorded in Britain was 38.7 C (101.7 F), a record set in 2019. Tuesday's reading was provisional, which means they are produced as near to real time as possible with final readings issued after data quality-control, the Met Office said.
Climate experts warn that global warming has increased the frequency of extreme weather events, with studies showing that the likelihood of temperatures in the U.K. reaching 40 C (104 F) is now 10 times higher than in the pre-industrial era. In fact, that once unthinkable mark looked possible — even likely — Tuesday.
"This record temperature is a harbinger of things to come,'' said Bob Ward of the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics. "The increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves and other extreme weather events is the result of climate change, and these impacts will continue to grow" unless the world drastically reduces emissions.
Drought and heat waves tied to climate change have also made wildfires harder to fight.
In the Gironde region of southwestern France, ferocious wildfires continued to spread through tinder-dry pines forests, frustrating firefighting efforts by more than 2,000 firefighters and water-bombing planes.
More than 37,000 people have been evacuated from homes and summer vacation spots since the fires broke out July 12 and burned through 190 square kilometers (more than 70 square miles) of forests and vegetation, Gironde authorities said.
A smaller third fire broke out late Monday in the Medoc wine region north of Bordeaux, further taxing firefighting resources. Five camping sites went up in flames in the Atlantic coast beach zone where blazes raged, around the Arcachon maritime basin famous for its oysters and resorts.
But weather forecasts offered some consolation, with heat-wave temperatures expected to ease along the Atlantic seaboard Tuesday and the possibility of rains rolling in late in the day.

The University will install a team of leaders to establish a student-centered culture and support smart growth in the early years of the College.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After a comprehensive national search that attracted distinguished candidates from all over the world, Jacksonville University today announced the selection of its College of Law founding Dean, Nicholas W. Allard, Esq., along with an administrative leadership team for the College.
A graduate of Princeton (1974), Oxford (1976), and Yale Law School (1979) and a prestigious Rhodes Scholar, Allard is currently senior counsel at Dentons, the largest law firm in the world with offices in more than 80 countries. He served as Joseph Crea Dean (2012-18) and concurrently as President (2014-18) at Brooklyn Law School (BLS) where he also has been a tenured professor. During his time there, he launched several noteworthy initiatives designed to make legal education more affordable, accessible, and valuable.
"Nick Allard is a world-class legal scholar and administrator, who is widely recognized and respected as both a thought leader and an educator," said Jacksonville University President Tim Cost. "Jacksonville University is honored to welcome him as founding Dean of our College of Law, where he will have a tremendous impact on shaping the next generation of legal minds."
Allard is an experienced educator, a published author, a proven academic leader, and a trusted public policy advisor. He is widely recognized by peers and the media as a leader in higher education, law, government relations and politics, who lends his expertise to complex legal and ethical issues. Before joining Brooklyn Law School in 2012, Allard chaired the preeminent Public Policy Department and the Government Advocacy Practice Group at Patton Boggs in Washington, D.C. His clients included domestic and global startups, Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and public and private universities. Prior to joining Patton Boggs, he was a partner at Latham & Watkins, where he helped establish the firm's Global Government Relations Group.
"The opportunity to serve as Jacksonville University's Founding Law Dean offers a platform like no other to share my passion for law and the honorable profession and put my experience and relationships to good use," Dean Allard said. "I look forward to building upon years of preparation led by President Cost, the encouragement and support of Jacksonville, and working synergistically across disciplines with the University's vibrant community of scholars and teachers. Our goal is for the College of Law to be in the vanguard of providing students outstanding, forward-looking preparation and practical training for future success and service."
For many years, Allard also has held several leadership positions as a Rhodes Scholar alumnus. For more than two decades he has served on and led a district Rhodes Scholarship Selection Committee awarding perhaps the best known and one of the most respected international graduate fellowships. He is the President of Oxford University's Merton College Charitable Corporation and is an elected member of the College's alumni board, the Merton Society. While serving on Princeton University's Alumni Council Executive Committee, among many other leadership roles, Allard chaired the Committee on Awards for Service to Princeton, the Committee on Nominating Alumni Trustees, and the Princeton Schools Committee of more than 8,000 alumni who interview applicants from all over the world.
As both an academic and a legal professional, he is the recipient of many honors and awards, including being named a Bodley Fellow of Oxford's Merton College in 2020, and being acknowledged as a Visionary by the "National Journal-Legal Times." He also served as a member of the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Government Affairs, as well as its Task Force on Lobbying Reform, and he chairs its Standing Committee on the Law Library of Congress.
"We are progressing at a healthy pace to enroll our first class of students in the Jacksonville University College of Law, which will begin classes on August 8," said President Cost. "At the same time, we are moving forward very deliberately with a leadership team of talented, diverse educators and administrators who will model our University's values and our student-centered culture. Fortunately, Jacksonville University benefits from a substantial roster of legal scholars currently on our campus."
Jacksonville University named a team of four senior administrators who will guide the College of Law through the arduous process of accreditation and strategic, measured growth in its early years.
Joining Dean Allard in the role of Vice Dean, the University names Margaret Dees, Esq., a proud Jacksonville University alumnus and Cabinet member who most recently served as the Senior Vice President of Economic Development & External Engagement, advocating for the University with elected officials and driving public and private economic investment that benefits the University and the broader community. Dees also has been an instrumental leader and a forceful advocate to plan, develop and establish the Jacksonville University College of Law, serving this year to date as Chair of the Law Operations Team.
Dees earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Florida's Fredric G. Levin College of Law and served as senior counsel at Holland & Knight LLP, where she supported clients in areas such as government relations, labor law, higher education, environmental litigation, contracts and more. She's a committed, engaged member of various professional organizations, including the American Bar Association, the Florida Bar, and the Jacksonville Bar Association.
In addition to the Dean and Vice Dean, the University installed two leaders to provide critical administrative support for College of Law faculty and students. Dr. Courtney Barclay will oversee Academic Affairs within the College. She is a well-respected JU associate professor in the Communication Department, who also earned her J.D. from UF along with a B.S. in Public Relations, and a M.A. and Ph.D. in mass communication. Dr. Barclay teaches undergraduate courses in communication law, public relations, and social media management. She also serves as a JU Pre-Law advisor and as the faculty advisor of the student-run public relations and advertising agency at JU, Phin Communications.
Supporting the needs of law students as Assistant Dean of Student Development & Practice is Katie Griggs, Esq. Most recently, Griggs worked as Program Manager for the highly-regarded Jacksonville University Public Policy Institute. She received her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Florida and her J.D. from Florida State University College of Law. Her prior experience includes serving as a prosecutor, corporate contract negotiator, and higher education professional. Prior to joining Jacksonville University, Griggs worked at two law schools in the areas of academic success, bar preparation, experiential learning, and career services.
Classes at the Jacksonville University College of Law begin the second week of August at the University's downtown location within Vystar Tower.
As northeast Florida's premier private institution of higher education, Jacksonville University is consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Best Regional Universities in the South. Founded in 1934, the University offers more than 100 majors, minors, and programs, including in-demand degrees in Nursing, Business, Marine Science, Engineering, Finance, and Psychology, as well as those in the highly specialized fields of Aviation, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Film, Animation, and Healthcare Administration. With its five colleges, eleven schools and four institutes, Jacksonville University's 235-acre riverfront campus is minutes from downtown and from beautiful area beaches.

Man City & USMNT keeper Steffen completes Middlesbrough loan switch
Middlesbrough have completed a loan deal to secure the services of US national team goalkeeper Zack Steffen. The move was on the cards as Manchester City have already signed Stefan Ortega as a backup to first-choice keeper Ederson.
Steffen was playing second fiddle to the Brazilian at the Etihad and will hope the loan move will provide him with some action on the pitch as he looks to boost his chances of starting for the USMNT at the 2022 World Cup.
What is the length of Zack Steffen's loan contract with Middlesbrough?
The 27-year-old has signed a one-year loan deal with Middlesbrough. The keeper has 29 caps for his country and has made 21 appearances for City, keeping eight clean sheets.
What has been said about Zack Steffen joining Middlesbrough?
Boro coach Chris Wilder told the club website: "I think it’s a big coup for us and so I’m delighted we’ve brought Zack in.
"We knew we had to improve the goalkeeping department. We brought in Liam Roberts and now we’re adding Zack who has just signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Man City.
"Man City don’t hand out four-and-a-half-year contracts if they don’t think anything of them. Everyone knows his situation, he needed to play because of the World Cup.
"He had an agreement with Man City, but he could have easily stayed there and sat comfortably as their number two. He wanted to go out and he’s agreed to come here.”
What is the goalkeeping situation at Manchester City after the departure of Zack Steffen?
City allowed Steffen to leave only after they have signed a replacement in Ortega on a free transfer. The keeper has signed a three-year deal and will be taking the No.18 shirt.
He had put in some impressive performances in the Bundesliga in the previous season for Arminia Bielefeld and is deemed to be the perfect cover for Ederson, who will continue to be the final line of defence for Pep Guardiola.
"This is a very good deal for City. Stefan has excellent pedigree – his career speaks for itself," said sporting director Txiki Begiristain.
"We are signing a goalkeeper who has vast experience, and he will help us in our quest for more trophies. He has joined to compete with the other goalkeepers and help our youngsters, so it’s a transfer we are really pleased to have secured.”

Moov is first MX payment processor partner to launch tokenized data exchanges for verifications with accelerated onboarding
MXapi Processor Tokens vastly improve, secure and speed up money movement and account opening experiences for consumers
LEHI, Utah, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MX, a leader in Open Finance, today announced the general availability of MXapi Processor Tokens — an innovative way to verify a user's financial account information in a secure, simplified, API-data exchange. MXapi Processor Tokens dramatically increase the speed and experience for account opening and money movement processes between MX clients and their mutual payment processor partners.
With MXapi Processor Tokens, MX clients can go to market faster with payment processor partners and enable secure, simplified sharing of actionable user data by:
- Removing the need for MX clients to store sensitive user data
- Making it easier for mutual partners to easily access money movement data sets
- Providing easy access to the necessary account data needed for identification and Know Your Customer (KYC) initiatives
- Giving MX clients greater flexibility to work with multiple partners
- Delivering real-time balances that reveal the up-to-the moment status of an account before initiating payments
- Enabling deeper fraud analysis by exposing tokenized transaction history.
"In a world where protecting against data breaches and other financial fraud is paramount, processor tokens enable our clients to protect their consumers," said Corinne Bartow, vice president of Fintech Partnerships at MX. "Whether moving money or opening an account, they no longer need to store the user's verified account data or create new connections each time data is necessary to verify information. This is a big deal, especially in the fintech multi-party ecosystem."
"Since my early days at Moov, it was clear that we needed to prioritize and synchronize our technology priorities with the MX platform," said Joel Tosi, CTO of Moov. "Because of MX's thoughtful architecture, we were able to spin up our Processor Token integration in a single sprint cycle, enabling us to further expedite new customer onboarding."
For MX mutual partners, MXapi Processor Tokens improve data accessibility, removing the need to run standalone jobs to gather data. In addition, token-based APIs can provide account ownership data, transaction history, account balance data, and more for the processor to securely move money for the consumer. Secure tokens also make it easy and safe for relevant parties to verify consumer financial data while avoiding the risks of handling and storing sensitive information.
"By providing rich tokenized access to users' financial data, we've reduced a security concern in the ongoing partnerships that MX financial clients build with our mutual partners," Bartow continued.
"MX's partner-first methodology makes co-development of new solutions like the Token Processor integration both easy and powerful," continued Tosi. "I've worked with other open-banking platforms in the past, and the partnership with MX has truly been a force multiplier for Moov's platform business. MX has created a technology offering that further enhances Moov's ability to reduce client registration friction and increase security for our mutual customers. For me, this makes the decision to invest in the MX relationship really easy."
Building on the growth of the MX Partner Network, MXapi Processor Tokens furthers MX's vision to build the open finance economy by delivering industry-leading solutions and services to financial institutions, digital banking platforms, payments solution providers, Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) providers, identification and KYC platforms, software development firms, and others. MX plans to expand its MXapi Processor Tokens across its greater partner network in the coming months.
MX continues to develop and expand its Partner Program to include additional features and processes that streamline the partner experience and set them up for success.
"Our recent release of a partner portal will continue to grow as MX works with partners to identify ways to streamline the onboarding and management process for referrals and resellers of MX's solutions," said Bartow.

MIAMI, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Milo, a financial technology company that is reimagining the way global and crypto consumers access financial solutions, today announced it has closed a record $10 million in crypto mortgages. This milestone achievement demonstrates the strength of Milo's innovative 30-year crypto mortgage which was brought to market only this past April. The product, which represents the world's first crypto mortgage offering, makes it easy for crypto investors to utilize their digital assets to purchase real estate in the United States.
"The success of our crypto mortgage over the past few months serves as a testament to our ability to pioneer and create a unique solution for the crypto community," said Josip Rupena, founder and CEO of Milo. "We have incredible momentum and see a fundamental need to help individuals diversify their wealth to generate real world yield through real estate. In today's volatile environment, our crypto mortgage is an excellent solution for clients who wish to continue to own crypto and invest in real estate, all while keeping the potential price appreciation of both."
Earlier this year, Milo became the first to offer a mortgage that bridges the world of digital assets with traditional finance by allowing investors to qualify with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC. To purchase property, clients can pledge their crypto with regulated and insured custodians (Gemini and Coinbase) and finance up to 100% of their purchase with no down payment required. Those who qualify can take advantage of low interest rates and a 30-year crypto mortgage up to $5 million.
"Bridging the gap between traditional finance and crypto is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle to make cryptocurrency and blockchain more ubiquitous in our daily lives," said Miami Mayor Francis Suarez. "With their mortgage product, Milo has already proven that the future of finance will serve to build wealth just like the financial tools of the past."
Real estate is a critical component to build wealth over time and many crypto consumers have been denied the opportunity and have resorted to riskier ways of generating yield as a result.
"Given the current state of the market, we're extremely proud that we have not had any margin calls or negative counterparty exposure, all while continuing to originate mortgages," said Rupena. "As a licensed and regulated entity, we take our responsibility seriously to ensure our clients' crypto is safe and returned when requested. Milo has added over 20 team members since launch and we look forward to releasing an exciting crypto refinance and non-rehypothecation option shortly."
During this time, Milo has also provided thousands of borrowers with crypto mortgage pre-qualifications, designed to preemptively let borrowers know how much they can afford. The company's other mortgage solution for U.S. and foreign nationals has already originated over $100 million in loans and has seen applicants from over 90 countries. Milo is a direct lender that is licensed, audited, insured and can stand behind its commitment to lend to its clients with certainty of closing.
About Milo:
Milo is a financial technology company reimagining the way global and crypto consumers access financial solutions to 'Unlock what's possible.' By building a proprietary technology stack from the ground up and bringing on a world class team, the company has enabled millions of dollars in U.S. home loans. Milo is passionate about driving digital transformation of financial services, solving real problems, and making a meaningful impact in people's lives. For more information visit www.milocredit.com.

1Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has opined that though Rishabh Pant may have got out to irresponsible shots occasionally, but nobody should question his responsibility when it comes to his commitment to the India team.
The cricketer-turned-commentator also said Pant and all-rounder Hardik Pandya can form the backbone of the India middle order, provided the latter doesn't get injured.
Evolving game
"No, he's (Pant) always responsible. He may seem irresponsible sometimes when he gets out, when he gets out playing one of those kinds of shots, we've got to look at it as somebody getting out at slips because the game has changed and that is Rishabh Pant's primary sort of skill. He's got to sound different but when he extends himself, he tries these shots.
"The winning runs for example (in the third ODI vs England), it's a part of his basic attacking, array of shots that he has. So, responsibility-wise I think this guy is just incredible because of the kind of record he has in Test cricket," Manjrekar said on SPORTS18's daily sports news.
Calm nature
He said it's tough to play the kind of strokes Pant plays if one is not responsible and calm by nature. "You can't play those kinds of shots if you are not responsible by nature, wanting to win the game and in this one-day (third ODI vs England at Old Trafford) as well you could see him. He was responsibility personified; he was calmness personified. I got very excited watching Rishabh Pant because there's something about this country (India), that we keep producing these kinds of batters every generation," added Manjrekar.
Pant played an unbeaten innings of 125 (113 balls) as India defeated England in the third ODI by five wickets to clinch the three-match series 2-1. Pant along with Pandya (71 off 55 balls) left England in a daze with their batting in the middle order after the top-three batters -- Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli -- were dismissed cheaply.
Fit Hardik Pandya needed
Shedding light on the future India middle-order, Manjrekar said, "Yes, just hoping that Hardik can keep his fitness together. No issues about Rishabh Pant. What we saw in that last one-day (ODI), I was completely floored by the sheer talent and ability of these two guys, temperament as well, built a long partnership and how easily, in the end, India won. Thanks to Rishabh Pant for staying there till the end.
"So yes, high-quality batters, and they're going to be batting mostly at number 4 and 5 whether it's T20 cricket or 50-overs cricket or Pant could be opening as well. In 2019, we had a lot of issues finding a proper middle order but now we have some quality supply," added Manjrekar.

Beijing, July 19: The postponed Asian Games will be held from September 23 to October 8, 2023 in Hangzhou, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) announced on Tuesday (July 19).
The 19th edition of the Games were originally slated to be held from September 10 to 25, 2022, but were suspended on May 6 after a spike in COVID-19 cases in China.
“The Task Force over the last two months held various discussions with the Chinese Olympic Committee, Hangzhou Asian Games Organising Committee (HAGOC) and other stakeholders to find a window for the Games which did not conflict with other major international sporting events,” the OCA said in a statement.
“The recommended dates by the Task Force were duly approved by the OCA EB,” the statement added.
The COC said, “We will make concerted efforts with the OCA and the HAGOC in advancing preparatory work to ensure the Games a success.”
“The HAGOC will collaborate with all related parties in preparation for the Games in an all-round manner according to the confirmed dates to stage a spectacular sporting and cultural gala with Chinese Grandeur, Zhejiang Style and Hangzhou Flavor,” state-run Xinhua agency quoted a statement, issued by the organisers as saying.

As predicted here, the Emmy Awards nominations announced last week pretty much mirrored the recent Television Critics Association nominations announced earlier in the month.
The program of the year nominees of the TCA, of which I am a member, included the ABC comedy “Abbott Elementary”; the slow-to-build office mystery “Severance” on Apple TV+; Netflix’s international megahit “Squid Game"; HBO’s bizarre satire “The White Lotus”; Showtime’s thriller “Yellowjackets”; AMC’s soon to end “Better Call Saul”; season one of HBO Max’s terrific showbiz comedy “Hacks”; and HBO’s media family drama “Succession.”
They all dominated the Emmy nominations to the point you almost wondered if the voters watched anything else.
Just about every actor in “Succession,” “Severance,” “White Lotus” and “Abbott Elementary” was nominated to the point there needs to be a rule change.
People are also reading…
The height of absurdity came when four actresses in “White Lotus” were nominated in the same category.
No more than two actors from a show should be allowed to be nominated in the same category.
The TCAs at least gave more credit to network series, with NBC’s family drama “This Is Us” and CBS’ comedy “Ghosts” getting some top nominations along with “Abbott Elementary.”
Mandy Moore, who played matriarch Rebecca Pearson on “This Is Us,” inexplicably was ignored by Emmy voters after getting a TCA nomination for individual achievement in drama, and the series was nominated for outstanding achievement in drama. “Ghosts” was nominated for outstanding achievement in comedy.
I always enjoy looking through the almost 60 pages of Emmy nominations for unusual things to highlight outside of the top nominations.
Here’s a baker’s dozen:
Rhea Seehorn: She finally received an Emmy supporting actress nomination for her outstanding work as Kim Wexler in “Better Call Saul” over the years. But her other nomination for outstanding actress in a short form comedy or drama series as Kris Latimer in the YouTube program “Cooper’s Bar” was overlooked.
Support Local Journalism
Jon Hamm: The Apple TV+ commercial ”Everybody But Jon Hamm,” in which the “Mad Men” star bitterly complained about the lack of roles he received, was nominated as best commercial. It is one of my favorite ads of the year. By the way, Hamm only won one Emmy playing brilliant adman Don Draper. He has been very busy as an actor, most recently appearing in the Tom Cruise hit, “Top Gun: Maverick.”
The Actor Directors: Actors Bill Hader (“Barry”), Jason Bateman (“Ozark”) and Ben Stiller all received best director nominations.
“Lucy and Desi”: The Amy Poehler documentary, which she heavily publicized in Western New York, received several nominations including one for Poehler as director. However, it is in the same outstanding documentary or nonfiction special category as the likely winner, HBO’s brilliant and timely “George Carlin’s American Dream.”
The “Hair” Award: The FX series “Impeachment” starring Beanie Feldstein as Monica Lewinsky about the impeachment of President Bill Clinton didn’t get much love. Sarah Paulson was nominated as outstanding lead actress in a limited or anthology series or movie for playing Linda Tripp. The series’ other notable nomination was for “outstanding contemporary hairstyling.” Feldstein proceeded to star in the Broadway revival of “Funny Girl.” The reviews, to put it mildly, weren’t as kind for her in “Funny Girl” as they were for “Impeachment.” She is being replaced by Lea Michele of “Glee” fame.
Kareem’s Voice: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Los Angeles Lakers star, was nominated as outstanding narrator for the History Channel program, “Black Patriots: Heroes of the Civil War.” He has some tough competition. David Attenborough and Barack Obama are in the same category. The HBO series about the Lakers, “Winning Time,” and the Apple TV+ plus series, “They Call Me Magic,” about Laker star Magic Johnson, received nominations for cinematography and music, respectively.
Wedding Blues: The only nomination “This Is Us” received was in the category of outstanding original music and lyrics for the episode “Day of the Wedding.” The music in that series always has been a highlight.
Ted Lasso’s Shrink: British actress Sarah Niles, who played psychologist Dr. Sharon Fieldstone, who helped soccer star Dani Rojas, Ted and others in the second season of the Apple TV+ series, was nominated as best supporting actress in a comedy.
Best Guest: British actress Harriet Walter was nominated for best guest actress in a drama for her role as Lady Caroline Collingwood, the second wife of Logan Roy and mother of three Roy children in “Succession.” She also was nominated as best guest actress in a comedy playing Deborah, Rebecca’s mother (Hannah Waddingham) in “Ted Lasso.” She is referred to as Dame Harriet Walter over the pond.
Chadwick Boseman: The late actor was nominated as Star Lord T’Challa in the category of outstanding character voiceover performance for "What If...? • What If... T'Challa Became A Star-Lord?"
Less Than Extraordinary Movies: The best TV movie competition is laughable and illustrates how far the genre has fallen. The nominees are led by “Zoe’s Extraordinary Christmas,” “Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers,” “Ray Donovan: The Movie,” “Reno 911: The Hunt for QAnon” and “The Survivor.”
Over the Rainbow: Yay, Randy Rainbow’s musical comedy YouTube show, which often satirizes politicians, received a nomination in the outstanding short form, comedy, drama, variety category.
The Closer: Dave Chappelle has gotten considerable heat for his Netflix standup special "The Closer" because it included controversial material about the transgender community that many found offensive. But it was nominated in the outstanding variety special pre-recorded category. Its difficult competition includes the CBS special, “Adele: One Night Only,” “Norm MacDonald: Nothing Special,” “One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga” and a “Harry Potter” special. | https://buffalonews.com/entertainment/television/alan-pergament-rhea-seehorn-leads-a-bakers-dozen-of-unusual-aspects-of-the-emmy-nominations/article_3da4a246-0758-11ed-8214-93690edbec59.html | 2022-07-19T13:43:57Z | https://buffalonews.com/entertainment/television/alan-pergament-rhea-seehorn-leads-a-bakers-dozen-of-unusual-aspects-of-the-emmy-nominations/article_3da4a246-0758-11ed-8214-93690edbec59.html | false | 1 |
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Police are investigating after a man robbed a Providence strip club at gunpoint Monday afternoon.
Cadillac Lounge manager Ed Imondi was counting money in his office as he prepared to open the strip club when the suspect walked in and pointed a gun at his head.
“At first, I thought it was a joke,” he recalled. “He said, ‘This is a robbery.’ I said, ‘What?’ and he said, ‘I’m going to rob the place.'”
Imondi said he had one of the club’s two safes open and roughly $3,500 in his hand at the time, which the man took.
The man then demanded Imondi open the other safe, which contained $22,000 in $1 bills.
“He took all the ones, I could hear him stacking them into the big bag he had,” Imondi recalled. “Obviously, he knew we had a lot of money in there.”
“He loaded up the bag and said, ‘That’s it, don’t turn around. I’m leaving,'” he continued.
The man then left the club through a back door, hopped a fence and ran across the nearby train tracks, according to Imondi.
Imondi said the suspect knew the layout of the building, including which safe had the most money inside.
That’s one of the reasons why he and owner Dick Shappy believe it may have been an inside job.
“Why would you not care about the [safe] that I already have open? You can see there’s money in there,” Imondi said. “He said, ‘No, not that safe. I want the money that’s in that one.’ … What does that tell you? Somebody knows something here.”
Police detained a person of interest at a nearby Walgreens a couple of hours after the robbery. So far, no charges have been filed.
Shappy said in the 31 years Cadillac Lounge has been in business, he’s never experienced anything like this. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/national-news/man-robs-strip-club-takes-22k-in-1-bills-from-safe/ | 2022-07-19T13:44:05Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/national-news/man-robs-strip-club-takes-22k-in-1-bills-from-safe/ | true | 13 |

For pregnant women with cancer, doctors fear abortion bans ‘could be a death sentence’
JGI/Jamie Grill/Getty Images
(NEW YORK) — Oncologists worry restrictions on abortions in Republican-led states after Roe v. Wade’s reversal could force pregnant cancer patients to delay critical treatments, like various chemotherapies.
“This ruling is going to impact many different aspects of women’s health and women’s health care — but specifically for cancer patients, this could be a death sentence for some of them,” Dr. Shikha Jain, an oncologist at the University of Illinois Cancer Center, told ABC News.
Many common cancer treatments run the risk of severely damaging a growing fetus or being harmful to a woman’s reproductive system, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. Because of this, pregnancy tests are commonly administered to patients with cancers and many doctors have conversations about fertility with patients right after a cancer diagnosis when discussing treatment options.
“Some women opt to have an abortion if they need to start chemotherapy urgently,” Jain said. “My biggest concern is that the patients are either going to not be able to make that decision for themselves — and [be able to] have that abortion to start their chemotherapy urgently — or the decision is going to be put into the hands of the court.”
Many state abortion bans include exceptions for when the life of the mother is at risk. However, multiple oncologists told ABC News that cancer patients may not qualify for those exceptions as the new laws are currently written, or patients may have to go to court to secure abortion access — potentially delaying treatments.
Dr. Banu Symington, an oncologist in southwest Wyoming, said cancer patients who are pregnant can be faced with stark choices about their futures.
While “we generally discourage treatment with chemotherapy in the first trimester of a pregnancy because chemotherapy can be a mutagen, it can cause birth defects,” she said, there are other risks: “If they don’t start chemotherapy, their curable cancer, for example, may be incurable by the time their pregnancy comes to term. Their child may have to grow up without a mother.”
Symington said in her work she has these sorts of conversations with pregnant patients about whether to postpone chemotherapy or end their pregnancy “not frequently, but not rarely either.”
She recalled one pregnant patient diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a curable cancer of the immune system. By waiting until after she delivered her child to start treatment, the patient went from having stage 1 cancer to having stage 3 cancer and required more chemotherapy, which brought greater risk, and she faced lower cure rates.
“Some of my patients have elected, have chosen, to postpone chemo so they can give birth to the child. But that choice may soon be taken away from women,” Symington said.
Dr. Julie Gralow, chief medical officer for the American Society of Clinical Oncology, wrote in a column earlier this month: “For people who are diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy, already a devastating life circumstance, decisions about what treatments to pursue … are urgent and best made with an informed physician who can consider all evidence-based, scientific options, including termination.”
“Patients must be able to trust their doctors and we are therefore concerned about the potential impact of the decision that inserts the government and even lay-people into the most private and personal decisions patients face,” Gralow wrote. “The Dobbs ruling [overturning Roe] creates uncertainty and confusion that can undermine the sacred doctor-patient relationship.”
Wyoming, where Symington lives and practices, has a “trigger law” enacted in anticipation of the end of Roe — set to ban all abortion except in the case of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is at stake. The law is still being evaluated but will likely go into effect this summer.
“What is defined as a ‘medical emergency’? This is what physicians are having to grapple with across the country, especially in states that are outlawing abortion,” said Jain, the Illinois oncologist. “Because if, for example, a woman comes in and she has a new lymphoma diagnosis and she needs to start chemotherapy, it’s not a medical emergency in the sense that she’s not going to die in the next hour or five hours or a day, if you don’t start chemotherapy. But if you don’t start chemotherapy within a certain number of days, yes, it is indeed a medical emergency.”
The oncologists and medical experts who spoke to ABC News for this story said they also worried that the abortion restrictions and bans could intimidate doctors, leading many to censor themselves. For example, a doctor who believes a patient’s odds of surviving her cancer would be significantly improved should she terminate her pregnancy and start treatment immediately may instead chose not to give such advice — fearing prosecution — if they are in states where the abortion laws are vague and changing.
Symington said she already tells her cancer patients to use contraception and avoid getting pregnant because of the heightened risks of pregnancy with cancer.
But now, she said, “I’m going to have to change that conversation to say, ‘Don’t get pregnant because in addition to the stress of having cancer and undergoing chemotherapy, you will have to live with the stress of a pregnancy whose outcome is unknown to you.'”
One cancer survivor in Houston who spoke with ABC News, and who asked to go by her first name, Allie, due to work sensitivities, said that while pregnant with her second child she did not feel well and her doctors began to realize it was something more than the expected morning sickness or fatigue.
After a CT scan and a biopsy, Allie’s doctors confirmed a terrifying complication to her pregnancy: She had cancer, and the prognosis was serious enough that they advised she start treatment right away.
But because cancer treatments like chemotherapy can damage a fetus, especially in the first trimester, Allie considered her options, including whether to have an abortion to move ahead with treatment.
“It’s that power to choose for what’s right for my family, for my husband, for my daughter that I already have, for my unborn child, for myself — that ability to have those options rather than it just be, ‘This is the only choice you have,'” Allie told ABC News.
Ultimately, she was able to work with a team of specialists in the Houston area and developed a course of treatment she could pursue while pregnant.

Woman orders cake with ‘bring Rs 500 change' instruction, here's what she actually got
The post has also led to numerous comments. One user humorously said 'Happy birthday, bring 500 change” while another said “this is why I heavily rely on Gpay”. Another person found it to be cute while someone else wrote that “delivery instructions tha, laga diya”
A woman recently placed an ordered for a cake through food delivery app Zomato. However, she was left shocked when it was delivered to her doorstep.
Vaishnavi Mondkar was stunned when she opened the box. She had earlier given the app the instruction that the delivery person must bring change for Rs 500. However, the message was actually written on the icing.
Sharing her plight on Facebook, Mondkar posted an image of the cake that was delivered to her with the hilarious message. “Delivery instructions mein likha tha Bring 500/- change toh unhone cake pe likhke bheja,” was the caption of Mondkar’s post. The caption roughly translates to ‘had written bring Rs 500 change in the delivery instructions, but they instead wrote it on the cake’.

The photo of the cake with its unique message has gone viral and has also left users in splits. Since being shared on 17 July, the post has collected more than 260 likes and over 250 shares.
The post has also led to numerous comments. One user humorously said "Happy birthday, bring 500 change” while another said “this is why I heavily rely on Gpay”. Another person found it to be cute while someone else wrote that “delivery instructions tha, laga diya”.
A similar incident happened in May this year, when a man ordered a cake from a renowned bakery in Nagpur and was left speechless after it was delivered to him.
Kapil Wasnik shared the post on Twitter saying he had ordered a cake from a renowned bakery in the city via Swiggy. He also wrote in his order details to “please mention if the cake contains egg.” When the cake was delivered to him, he was surprised to see the icing spelling out the message “contain egg” in bold letters.

Mumbai– Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal has shared a romantic picture with his actress wife Katrina Kaif, who recently turned 39.

Vicky took to Instagram, where he shared a picture featuring him and Katrina. In the image, the two are looking at each other and laughing on a yacht.
The actor captioned it with an infinity sign in the caption.
Vicky and Katrina’s friends could not stop gushing about the picture.
Speaking about work, Katrina has Salman Khan starrer-‘Tiger 3’ and ‘Merry Christmas’ with Vijay Sethupathi. She also has the horror-comedy ‘Phone Booth’, featuring Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi.
Vicky will next be seen in ‘Sam Bahadur’ and ‘Govinda Naam Mera’.
Aamir has his fanboy moment with Neetu Kapoor on the sets of ‘Dance Deewane Juniors’
Mumbai– Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan said that he is a huge fan of Neetu Kapoor on the sets of ‘Dance Deewane Juniors’. He appeared for the finale episode on the show to promote his film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’.
He also mentioned that since his uncle, Nasir Hussain, directed her first film, ‘Yaadon Ki Baraat’, he became her fan and feels blessed to share the stage with Neetu.
“Neetuji’s first film ‘Yaadon Ki Baraat’ was directed by my chacha and since then I have been a big fan of her,” he said.
It was interesting to watch Aamir dancing with Neetu Kapoor on ‘Aati Kya Khandala’, from his 1998 movie ‘Ghulam’.
He added: “Today I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to share the same stage with you as I have been an admirer of your work since the inception of your career.”
Moreover, Aamir enjoyed looking at the kids performing on his famous tracks and he in fact shook his legs with the contestants and their mentors to ‘Dhinka Chika’.
Aamir also played a game with the host Karan Kundrra and had a fun banter with him and Tejasswi Prakash. He played a game, ‘Who knows Tejasswi better’ with Karan and her ‘Naagin’ co-star Simba Nagpal.
The show was judged by Neetu Kapoor, Nora Fatehi and choreographer and dancer Marzi Pestonji and hosted by Karan Kundrra.
Kajol set to make OTT debut with untitled series
Sharing her excitement, Kajol said in a statement: “Exploring new formats is always a challenge; but it’s a great thing as I love to take challenges head-on. Being an avid fan of digital series, the concept has always been intriguing; and after following cool shows such as Aarya and Rudra, I knew there was no other platform than Disney+ Hotstar to start my series journey.”
The yet-to-be-titled series, a drama, will see the actress in an all-new avatar. Kajol’s husband Ajay Devgn has earlier explored the digital medium in the capacity of both the producer (‘The Great Indian Murder’) and an actor (‘Rudra’). Both the series premiered on OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar. Taking a cue, the actress will be soon making her series debut on Disney+ Hotstar.
Gaurav Banerjee, Head – Content, Disney+ Hotstar & HSM Entertainment Network, Disney Star shared that “We are elated to have a celebrated actor like Kajol join us and charm viewers with her ethereal screen magic. With the beloved star, we are setting out on an all-new journey to bring a unique story of love, emotions and family.”
Ranbir-Alia’s ‘Kesariya’ full version sparks a meme fest
Mumbai– The makers of the Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer ‘Brahmastra’ heard the pleas of music lovers and released the full version of the ‘Kesariya’ song from the film recently. Earlier, only a part of the song was released in April ahead of the wedding of Alia and Ranbir.
However, the song has caught the netizens’ attention for all the wrong reasons.
The listeners are perplexed at the use of the ‘love storiya’ phrase in the song, which sticks out like a sore thumb.
What compounds the audience’s odd listening experience is the fact that the lines have been penned by none other than Amitabh Bhattacharya, the man who is known for his knack of writing unusual lyrics, his songs like ‘Pardesi’, ‘Mast Magan’, ‘Babaji Ki Booti’, ‘Ullu Ka Pattha’, ‘Kalank Title Track and several others serve as testimony to his lyrical prowess and genius.
But this time the audience isn’t too pleased with what Bhattacharya has doled out. As soon as the song hit the airwaves, it sparked a meme fest on Instagram and Twitter with many memers pointing out the visible difference before and after the mouthing of ‘love storiya’.
One user wrote, “Only reason ppl (people) saying they are enjoying south versions of ‘Kesariya’ more is because they don’t understand a single word of it. What if those versions of songs have cringe lyrics too?(sic).”
One user posted the famous picture of Jason Momoa sneaking up on Henry Cavill from the ‘Suicide Squad’ premier. The user tagged Henry as himself implying that they’re enjoying listening to the song while the ‘love storiya’ part (Jason Momoa) sneaks up on them to spoil the experience.
‘Brahmastra’ directed by Ayan Mukerji, is set to drop in theatres on September 9, 2022.

AILG President Cllr Nicholas Crossan (second right) at the signing of the partnership agreement signing
A historic moment took place on Sunday at the partnership agreement signing ceremony during the launch of the Irish Local Authority & US State Legislature Sister City Programme at the Mansion House, Dublin.
As President of the Association of Irish Local Government, Inishowen councillor Nicholas Crossan joined Senator Mark Daly, representatives from the American Irish State Legislators Caucus (AISLC), the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSLorg) and Local Authority Member’s Association (LAMA) in signing the partnership agreement.
Commenting after the signing ceremony, Cllr Nicholas Crossan said: “The new agreement will encourage more strong links between Irish and American local government, and these new connections which are being made across different States in America will add a whole new dimension to the Irish American political relationship.
“The importance of this new sister partnership between Irish Local Authorities and the US State Legislature has never been more timely, particularly considering the ongoing threat of the Good Friday Agreement due to Brexit.”
Attendees at the ceremony included a delegation of over 55 politicians from across the United States, including State Senate Presidents and/or majority leaders along with Mayors and Cathaoirligh from across Ireland who pledged their commitment to build upon the deep roots of the Irish American friendship.
Ireland will be only the fourth country with whom the National Conference of State Legislators signed an international partnership agreement.

And they hope their year-round efforts will pay off when the results are announced.
The Lang Toun has earned recognition in previous annual competitions, and fingers are crossed for more when the judges make their visit early in August.
They will get a presentation and a tour of the town centre to show the work that has gone into adding floral colour at many points.
Growing Kirkcaldy’s volunteers were out on Monday - the hottest day of the year - sprucing up more of their patch ahead of the inspection.
The group’s aim is to create a green corridor which runs from Kirkcaldy train station down to the waterfront - one of the main routes for visitors arriving in town.
It has previously submitted a town-wide entry, but, this year, it has focussed on the heart of the Lang Toun.
Judith Kerr, secretary, said: “We have focussed on the category for BIDs and the town centre.”
But that is still a wide remit.
She explained: “The half mile radius takes in a huge area from the harbour and the High Street to the war memorial gardens and Beveridge Park.
“We’re trying to create a green corridor from the train station down to the waterfront.”
There is nothing the group can do to tackle the buildings which have been left empty by businesses which have quit the town, but it has made its mark with a host of planters and flower baskets across the landscape.
Its work has taken in Hill Street, Charlotte Street, the harbour, and Port Brae.
This week, it spruced up around the area around Kirkcaldy Galleries - one of the first buildings the judges will see on arrival.
Added Judith: “The competition judges what you have done over 12 months - and we have been working all year.”Greener Kirkcaldy has ben working with Love Oor Lang Toun, Kirkcaldy West Community Council and Fife Council.
On judging day they will have 15 minutes to make a presentation before a two-hour tour. | https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/people/kirkcaldy-gets-set-to-impress-beautiful-scotland-judges-3773977 | 2022-07-19T13:51:21Z | https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/people/kirkcaldy-gets-set-to-impress-beautiful-scotland-judges-3773977 | true | 1 |
Watch: Washington Sundar picks a wicket off just 2nd ball in dream Lancashire debut
- Washington Sundar made his debut in County cricket on Tuesday, turning up for Lancashire.
Washington Sundar has got off to a flier on his County Championship debut. The India all-rounder, who is playing for Lancashire in his first match in England's first class tournament, ended up dismissing New Zealand batter Will Young, who is captaining Northamptonshire, off just the second ball of his first over.
Sundar sent the ball just short of a length and Young looked to cut it. He ended up edging it to the wicketkeeper right behind him. The County Championship marks the beginning of Sundar's return to regular cricket after an injury layoff. Sundar had earlier sat down with Lancashire's YouTube channel for an interview and revealed an interesting connection he shares with the historic Manchester-based team.

“I remember myself playing Playstation with Lancashire team against most of the domestic games over here," said Sundar. "I used to be Andrew Flintoff because he would give me four overs of solid pace, and obviously he could come down at six or seven and will tonk some huge sixes."
Apart from Flintoff, Sundar also shared his excitement of meeting England legend James Anderson. "James Anderson too. He is a legend, and he could swing the ball both ways. Very excited to see him and meet him over here if possible see him bowl over here and how he goes about his own things." Both Flintoff and Anderson shone for Lancashire during their illustrious careers for England, and current white-ball captain Jos Buttler also represents this county.
When asked what he is looking forward to the most in his time with the club, Sundar replied: "Definitely the stadium. Old Trafford has the vibe and the energy. It is so fascinating. And obviously, the kind of history and the name Lancashire have built for themselves in the last few decades has been so so great.” | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/watch-washington-sundar-picks-a-wicket-off-just-2nd-ball-in-dream-lancashire-debut-101658236904196.html | 2022-07-19T13:51:31Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/watch-washington-sundar-picks-a-wicket-off-just-2nd-ball-in-dream-lancashire-debut-101658236904196.html | true | 2 |

For most people in the UK, sleep will have been hard to come by over the last few days due to the uncharacteristically warm weather.
The country experienced its warmest night on record on Monday (18 July) as the extreme heat saw temperatures remain in the mid-20s.
The highest overnight temperatures recorded were 24.5C in Aberporth, West Wales, 25.8C in Kenley, in the London Borough of Croydon, and 25.9C at Emley Moor, near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, according to the Met Office.
The previous highest daily minimum record was 23.9C which was recorded in Brighton on 3 August 1990.
It comes as a potential high of 41C is forecast for Tuesday (41C), meaning another unbearably warm night is likely in store this evening.
If you are struggling to get any rest due to the heat, there are a few cheap and simple hacks you can try to help keep your bedroom cool - including using a hot water bottle.
Now, a hot water bottle is traditionally used to keep you warm, but if you fill it with cold water it can help to cool you down.
Simply fill the bottle with ice cold water and place it in your bed. This will help to lower your body temperature as you fall asleep, and make your bed feel lovely and cool.
Some people on TikTok have recommended filling the bottle with cold water and then putting it in the freezer for a couple of hours to make sure it is icy cold.
But some manufacturers have noted that frozen water could damage the material of many hot water bottles, meaning it could burst the next time hot water is added.
If you do put it in the freezer, make sure to only fill the bottle half way rather than to the top, or just keep one bottle separate for cold use and the other for hot.
How else can I keep cool at night?
Swapping your heavy duvet for a lower tog-rating between 1 and 1.45, or a light cotton sheet, can help to keep you cooler when trying to sleep at night.
Cotton pyjamas are a good option to sleep in as they are light and breathable, which should keep your body cool.
Taking a cool shower or bath in the evening can also help as this will lower your body temperature before sleeping. Research also shows that putting your feet in cold water is a good way to reduce core body temperature, so this is worth a try before bed too.
Make sure to keep your blinds closed during the day, especially in south facing rooms, to keep the heat out, and close doors to rooms you aren’t so the air stays cool.
When temperatures drop in the evening it may be worth opening your windows before you go to bed to allow your home to cool down naturally.
If you have an air conditioner unit, this is the quickest way to cool down any room. But if you don’t have one, you could try placing a bowl of ice in front of a fan to create a homemade cold mist machine.
Simply place a shallow bowl or pan of ice in front of a fan to generate an ice cool breeze that won’t break the bank. | https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/read-this/simple-hot-water-bottle-hack-can-help-you-sleep-during-the-heatwave-3773726 | 2022-07-19T13:52:17Z | https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/read-this/simple-hot-water-bottle-hack-can-help-you-sleep-during-the-heatwave-3773726 | false | 16 |

KUALA LUMPUR, July 19 — Malaysia is not facing any issues of rice shortage, and existing stockpiles exceed stocks in neighbouring countries, Agriculture and Food Industry Minister Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee said.
Through agreements between the government and Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas), the company, under its corporate social responsibility (CSR), had stated its commitment to increasing national rice stocks from 150,000 metric tonnes to 290,000 metric tonnes.
“We have consistent rice supply throughout the year, we have trading stock, we have our stockpiles and our overall total is over seven months more than the country’s rice needs,” he said when winding up the debate on the Control of Padi and Rice (Amendment) Bill 2022 at the Dewan Rakyat today.
Ronald also answered a question by Khoo Poay Tiong (PH-Kota Melaka), who asked about the rationale behind the government’s decision to extend the period of Bernas’ concession as the sole rice importer for the next 10 years.
He said the decision was the correct step in sustaining the supply of rice and that Bernas carried out its duties of ensuring supply in the country through the importation of rice, even with the Covid-19 pandemic and closed borders.
The government had previously agreed to extend the concession for a period of 10 years beginning January 11, 2021 till January 10, 2031. The Control of Padi and Rice (Amendment) Bill 2022 was passed by the Dewan Rakyat today. — Bernama | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/19/malaysia-not-facing-rice-shortage-issues-says-minister/18318 | 2022-07-19T13:53:34Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/19/malaysia-not-facing-rice-shortage-issues-says-minister/18318 | true | 3 |
GENEVA, July 19 —Europe’s heatwave looks set to peak today, but temperatures may remain above normal into the middle of next week, the World Meteorological Organisation said, warning that such events could occur with greater frequency in the future.
“The question that everybody is asking looking ahead is - when is this going to end?,” said Robert Stefanski, chief of Applied Climate Services at the WMO. “Unfortunately, looking at all the models from all our partners at a national and regional level, possibly not until middle of next week.” Britain recorded its highest-ever temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, while firefighters in southwestern France battled to contain huge forest wildfires as a heatwave rising from the south settled over western Europe.
Stefanski said he expected temperatures to peak today but to stay above average.
At the same briefing, WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas warned that he expected to see a “much higher” number of heat waves in future due to climate change.
“The direction is clear and in the future these kind of heat waves are going to be normal and we will see even stronger extremes,” said Taalas, wearing short sleeves and a red and blue tie which he said he chose to illustrate the warming trend.
Officials at the same press briefing said they expected more deaths among the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions due to the ongoing heat wave as well as challenges for health systems due to increased demand. — Reuters | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/07/19/wmo-europes-heatwave-could-persist-into-next-week-after-peaking/18322 | 2022-07-19T13:54:49Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/07/19/wmo-europes-heatwave-could-persist-into-next-week-after-peaking/18322 | false | 1 |
ATLANTA, July 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Katalon, Inc., the provider of the leading AI-augmented test automation platform, today announced the general availability of Katalon Visual Testing. The software testing tool verifies that user interfaces will appear correctly to all, ensuring that each element on a web page or mobile app functions perfectly and appears in the right shape, size and position - regardless of the device and browser. Ready to use out-of-the-box, Katalon Visual Testing works without the need to use third-party tools or configurations to implement visual testing into work pipelines for test authoring, execution and review.
In addition to the standard approach of comparing differences pixel by pixel, Katalon Visual Testing enables software quality teams to automatically analyze, differentiate, and identify valid visual UI differences from minor visual infractions through two AI image comparison options:
Layout-based testing
Instead of identifying where individual pixels are not the same, layout-based AI Visual Testing analyzes the layout of images and visual objects in relation to each other and compares those relative differences between baseline and test results. When an image, object, or line of text differs by only a few pixels or lines, a standard visual test flags the difference as a failure. By contrast, Katalon AI Visual Testing can intelligently deduce when there is only a minor difference in the layout to help testers efficiently decide if quality tests pass or fail, significantly reducing false positives and unnecessary manual reviews.
Content-based testing
This is the better option for when visual quality is rated by the completeness and accuracy of text content rather than the layout and existence of images and UI elements. With no regard to font, layout, color, or changes in its background, Content-based AI Visual Testing prioritizes the review and validation of text within a UI. As with the layout-based comparison, this testing also increases the efficacy of content testing, and reduces manual validation efforts by hundreds and even thousands of hours per year.
"Automated functional tests are helpful in detecting functionality changes resulting from recent code changes, but they cannot detect visual changes to the application such as layout, colors, fonts, and misplacement of elements," said Katalon CTO Coty Rosenblath. "Human-based visual regression testing is possible but it is error prone and requires a huge effort considering the large number of pages and elements that modern applications contain. With Katalon AI-based Visual Testing, quality testing efforts are faster and more accurate, reducing tester hours by 99% compared to manual testing."
"To ensure a great digital user experience, QualityKiosk has helped many organizations adopt a multi-faceted approach to test coverage that includes traditional end-to-end test automation as well as visual testing to confirm the accuracy of page layout and content," said Praveen Puram, Head of Quality Engineering Delivery at QualityKiosk NA, Katalon's 2021 Solution Partner of the Year. "We look forward to using Katalon's AI-based Visual Testing as we believe Katalon's incorporation of visual testing into their quality platform will simplify and accelerate our customers' test automation adoption journey, and result in higher quality systems and improved customer experiences."

VANCOUVER, BC, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - GROUNDED, the whimsical survival game from Obsidian Entertainment & Xbox, which has become an early access success story with over 10m players is being adapted for series in association with Waterproof Studios/SC Productions, Kinetic Media and Bardel Entertainment.
The series will exist in the same universe as the game. The summer before high school, four friends plan "big things" to elevate their social standing, but their plans are upended when they stumble upon shrinking technology that makes them two inches tall. Now the four shrunken friends must learn to survive in a towering backyard that's a jungle full of enormous predators and hiding a vast corporate conspiracy threatening their entire town.
Brent Friedman (Star Wars: Clone Wars, Rebels, Star Trek: Enterprise) is attached to craft the story, with Brien Goodrich (Halo) attached to direct. The show will be introduced @ Kidscreen (July) and MIPCOM (October) as well as private meetings in the US during the fall and winter 2022. The development team will be hosting an in-person booth in the interactive zone at San Diego Comic Con in July for those who want to get hands-on experience with the inspiration of the show, and meet its first boss creature, the brood mother, in person.
"Grounded has caught the imagination of millions of people and we've learned that the biggest fans want even more of that world. This partnership will allow us to give fans more Grounded while expanding the world that so many have come to love."
- Adam Brennecke, Game Director
"We couldn't be more excited about diving into the whimsical universe of Grounded. This partnership will be one of great collaboration, expanding on an already wonderful journey of exploration and adventure."
- Tina Chow, CEO, Bardel Entertainment Inc.

- Carl Whiteside, SC Productions
"The idea that our greatest and most profound adventures are all around us, hiding in plain sight on some microcosmic level is just pure child-like genius. We knew immediately that we wanted to be part of Grounded's journey beyond the gaming space."

Mobile provider Three has spread its 5G coverage to 86 new areas after a poll showed that holidaymakers stay away from destinations with poor coverage.
A survey of 2,000 people by Development Economics found that two thirds said good network coverage is important while on holiday.
Some 58% said they would be less likely to choose accommodation in areas with poor mobile phone coverage.
Two-fifths said they would avoid visiting a restaurant or doing an activity if the signal was poor and a quarter would be unlikely to visit a holiday destination if they found reviews describing the area as having poor coverage.
This underlines just how important phone coverage is - and Three is now spreading its 5G network to even more rural and coastal locations around the UK.
Which areas will now get Three’s 5G coverage?
Off the back of the research, Three has announced its spreading its 5G coverage to 86 new areas.
These areas include rural and coastal locations across the UK like Dartmouth, Milford on Sea, Aberystwyth, Holywood and Irvine.
They join staycation hotspots such as Brighton, Blackpool, Edinburgh and Bangor that already have 5G coverage.
Since the start of 2022, 5G has been rolled out to 86 new areas including North Devon, Torbay and Great Yarmouth.
Three says that its £2 billion investment in network technology has doubled the number of 5G sites in the last year to 3,200.
Why is Three widening its 5G coverage?
Elaine Carey, Three UK Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We are committed to playing our part to ensure we continue to provide excellent coverage for all.
"That’s why we’re investing £2m every day in the network to rollout the UK’s fastest 5G network which now covers more than 56% of the UK’s population.”
Ms Carey added: “Whether it’s a coastal trip to the seaside, a quiet cottage getaway, or a city break, there is an expectation from holidaymakers that they will be able to stay in touch with friends and family, make use of online review and booking platforms, and post about their trip on social media."
Which providers offer 5G in the UK?
All four of the UK’s core networks, EE, O2, Vodafone and Three, offer 5G.
5G is the fifth generation of mobile wireless communication technology and the successor to the 4G standard.
It arrived in 2019 with mobile networks competing to offer the new technology.
Three launched 5G in August 2019 but only as a broadband product in London.
But they slowly expanded with 5G now switched on in selected postcodes across the country.
Initially, 5G was only reserved for the most expensive phones but it has now started to appear on far cheaper devices.

BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese security forces, accompanied by an investigative judge, raided the country's Central Bank on Tuesday in a divisive investigation against the bank's embattled governor.
Judge Ghada Aoun had been investigating Gov. Riad Salameh, and in March charged him with illicit enrichment and money laundering. A handful of European countries, including Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein are also investigating Salameh for alleged money laundering and embezzlement.
Also in March, in an initiative by Germany, France, and Luxembourg, the European Union froze $130 million worth of Lebanese assets belonging to five unnamed Lebanese. They accused the suspects of embezzling over $330 million and 5 million euros ($5.5 million) respectively, between 2002 and 2021. It is widely believed that Riad Salameh and his brother Raja are among the five.
Lebanon is grappling with a staggering economic crisis that has pushed over three-quarters of its population into poverty.
Many hold Salameh responsible for the crisis, citing policies that drove up national debt and caused the Lebanese pound to lose 90% of its value against the dollar. The 71 year-old Central Bank governor, who has held the post for the past three decades, still enjoys the backing of most Lebanese political parties.
On Tuesday, the investigative judge arrived at the Central Bank headquarters in Beirut with Lebanese state security personnel, apparently trying to find Salameh.
Aoun told the press after leaving the premises that she did not find Salameh and was unable to look for him in the building’s offices and storage rooms. “We immediately received a judicial order (to leave),” she said.
State security forces earlier Tuesday raided Salameh’s home, but he was not there.
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the raid in a statement, calling it a “brash” move for a sensitive case in the troubled country.
“What is required is to solve this case with a prior political agreement on a Central Bank governor, and then take the appropriate legal course," Mikati said.
Aoun's monthslong investigation into Salameh has divided the country. In January, she froze his assets as a “precautionary measure, " after he did not show up for questioning in a lawsuit filed by a Lebanese anti-corruption group.
She has also charged the governor's brother, Raja Salameh, with involvement in the formation of three illusive companies in France alongside Ukrainian citizen Anna Kosakova to purchase real estate worth nearly $12 million there. Raja was detained in March and released in May on record bail worth $3.7 million.

This story has been corrected to show that the bail amount for the governor's brother was $3.7 million, not billion. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Judge-and-security-forces-raid-Lebanon-s-central-17314107.php | 2022-07-19T14:03:57Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Judge-and-security-forces-raid-Lebanon-s-central-17314107.php | false | 29 |

Hawaii waves swamp homes, weddings during ‘historic’ swell
HONOLULU (AP) — Towering waves on Hawaii’s south shores crashed into homes and businesses, spilled across highways and upended weddings over the weekend.
The large waves — some more than 20 feet high — came from a combination of a strong south swell that peaked Saturday evening, particularly high tides and rising sea levels associated with climate change, the National Weather Service said Monday.
A wedding Saturday evening in Kailua-Kona was interrupted when a set of large waves swamped the event, sending tables and chairs crashing toward guests.
Sara Ackerman, an author who grew up in Hawaii and attended the wedding, filmed the waves as they barreled ashore.
“It just was huge,” she said. “I was filming it and then it just came over the wall and just completely annihilated all the tables and chairs.”
She said it happened about five minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to begin.
“It wasn’t like a life-threatening situation by any means whatsoever,” she said. “It was just like, ‘Oh my gosh ... what are we going to do? Where are we going to put the tables?’”
She said they went ahead with the ceremony and cleaned up the mess after the newlyweds exchanged vows.
“We had the ceremony and it was beautiful, having all the (sea) spray,” she said. “The ocean was really wild. So it was great for the photos.”
Chris Brenchley, the meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service office in Honolulu, said several factors came together to create such huge waves.
“Waves over 12 or 15 feet (3.66 or 4.57 meters), those become extremely big and really rare to have,” he said. “It’s the largest it’s been in several decades.”
Brenchley said the swell was produced in the South Pacific, where it’s currently the winter season.
“They had a particularly strong winter storm where the winds were focused directly towards places like Samoa and then further on to the north into Hawaii,” he said.
Remnants of Hurricane Darby passed south of Hawaii but had no major impact on the surf, he said.
While singular events like this hard to pin directly to climate change, Brenchley said the warming planet is playing a role.
“The most direct type of impact that we can use with climate change is the sea level rise. Any time you add just even small amounts of water, you raise that sea level just a little bit,” he said. “And now those impacts will be exacerbated whenever we have a large storm event or a ... high, high tide.”
Most large summer swells that come from the south are no bigger than about 10 feet (3 meters), which would trigger a high surf advisory.
“We had some waves that were reaching 20 feet (6 meters), 20 feet-plus even,” Brenchley said. “That’s getting on the level of historic.”
Hawaii’s north shores, where professional surfers often compete, usually get much larger waves than other parts of the islands. The predominant swell hits the north shores in the winter and the south shores in the summer.
Lifeguards and rescue crews across the state had a busy weekend.
They conducted at least 1,960 rescues on the island of Oahu alone on Saturday and Sunday.
Honolulu officials reported one serious injury when a surfer suffered a laceration to the back of his head.

LONDON (AP) — Britain shattered its record for highest temperature ever registered Tuesday amid a heat wave that has seared swaths of Europe — and the national weather forecaster predicted it would get hotter still in a country ill prepared for such extremes.
The typically temperate nation was just the latest to be walloped by unusually hot, dry weather that has triggered wildfires from Portugal to the Balkans and led to hundreds of heat-related deaths. Images of flames racing toward a French beach and Britons sweltering — even at the seaside — have driven home concerns about climate change.
The U.K. Met Office registered a provisional reading of 40.2 degrees Celsius (104.4 degrees Fahrenheit) at Heathrow Airport in early afternoon — breaking the record set just an hour earlier and with hours of intense sunshine still to go. Before Tuesday, the highest temperature recorded in Britain was 38.7 C (101.7 F), set in 2019.
As the nation watched the mercury rise with a combination of horror and fascination, the forecaster warned temperatures could go higher still.
The sweltering weather has disrupted travel, health care and schools in a country not prepared for such extremes. Many homes, small businesses and even public buildings, including hospitals, don’t even have air conditioning, a reflection of how unusual such heat is in the country better known for rain and mild temperatures.
The intense heat since Monday has damaged the runway at London’s Luton airport, forcing it to shut for several hours, and warped a main road in eastern England, leaving it looking like a “skatepark,” police said. Major train stations were shut or near-empty on Tuesday, as trains were canceled or ran at low speeds out of concern rails could buckle.
Electric fans cooled the traditional mounted troops of the Household Cavalry as they stood guard in central London in heavy ceremonial uniforms. Other guards reduced their duties. The capital’s Hyde Park, normally busy with walkers, was eerily quiet — except for the long lines to take a dip in the Serpentine lake.
“I’m going to my office because it is nice and cool,’’ said geologist Tom Elliott, 31, after taking a swim. “I’m cycling around instead of taking the Tube.’’
Queen Elizabeth II carried on working. The 96-year-old monarch held a virtual audience with new U.S. ambassador Jane Hartley from the safety of inside Windsor Castle.
A huge chunk of England, from London in the south to Manchester and Leeds in the north, remained under the country’s first “red” warning for extreme heat Tuesday, meaning there is danger of death even for healthy people.
Such dangers could be seen in Britain and around Europe. At least six people were reported to have drowned across the U.K. in rivers, lakes and reservoirs while trying to cool off. Meanwhile, nearly 750 heat-related deaths have been reported in Spain and neighboring Portugal in the heat wave there.
The highest temperature previously recorded in Britain was 38.7 C (101.7 F), a record set in 2019. Tuesday’s reading was provisional, which means they are produced as near to real time as possible with final readings issued after data quality-control, the Met Office said.
Climate experts warn that global warming has increased the frequency of extreme weather events, with studies showing that the likelihood of temperatures in the U.K. reaching 40 C (104 F) is now 10 times higher than in the pre-industrial era.
The head of the U.N. weather agency expressed hope that the heat gripping Europe would serve as a “wake-up call” for governments to do more on climate change.
“I hope that also in democratic countries, these kind of events will have an impact on voting behavior,” World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Petteri Taalas told reporters Tuesday in Geneva.
Combatting climate change head on is the only solution for Britain, said Professor Myles Allen, a climate scientist at the University of Oxford, because continually refurbishing the country’s infrastructure to cope will be “extremely expensive.”
“We cannot afford to live in an ever-changing climate,” he told the BBC. “We have to stop this, turn this around.”
Drought and heat waves tied to climate change have also made wildfires harder to fight.
In the Gironde region of southwestern France, ferocious wildfires continued to spread through tinder-dry pines forests, frustrating firefighting efforts by more than 2,000 firefighters and water-bombing planes.
Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from homes and summer vacation spots since the fires broke out July 12, Gironde authorities said.
A smaller third fire broke out late Monday in the Medoc wine region north of Bordeaux, further taxing firefighting resources. Five camping sites went up in flames in the Atlantic coast beach zone where blazes raged around the Arcachon maritime basin famous for its oysters and resorts.
But weather forecasts offered some consolation, with temperatures expected to ease along the Atlantic seaboard Tuesday and the possibility of rains rolling in late in the day.
Britain was not the only northern European country experiencing unusual heat. As Amsterdam baked Tuesday, municipal workers sprayed water on some mechanical bridges over the Dutch city’s canals to prevent metal in them from expanding, which can jam them shut blocking boat traffic. Temperatures in the city are expected to approach 39 C (102 F) on Tuesday.

The analysis of the damage was done during the commissioning phase revealed that a mirror segment labelled C3 in mid-May left the telescope with severe damage. The commissioning phase was where ground controllers successfully completed the calibration, alignment, and testing of the telescope's mirrors and instruments.

Consequences of the damage
Since the damages are negligible it wont affect the James Webb Telescope's ability to take infrared images like the ones that were released last week.

A report on the Independent suggested that the five did little damage, causing less than 1 nanometer of wavefront error root mean square (RMS), a technical way to describe how much Webb’s mirror distorts the starlight the mirror collects. Most of the distortion added by those five strikes can be corrected out of the mirror, since the 18 hexagonal segments that make up its face can be individually and finely adjusted.

You’re driving your car on a hot summer day. There are two options to stay cool—put the windows down and enjoy the breeze or turn on the air conditioning. Which one is better for fuel efficiency? Let’s find out.
It’s a pretty well-known fact that running the AC in your vehicle has a negative impact on MPG. This is true for both gas and electric vehicles. So rolling the windows down is the better choice for efficiency, right? It’s not that simple.
RELATED: How to Use Fuel-Efficient Routes in Google Maps
It’s All About Air Resistance
Opening the windows and using the AC both have an impact on MPG, but how they do it is very different. When the windows are open, air that normally would flow over the vehicle goes into the car. This creates resistance known as “drag.”
Cars and other vehicles are designed to be somewhat aerodynamic, which helps minimize air resistance. If air can flow easily around something, it doesn’t push back on it so much. More drag means your vehicle has to work harder to propel itself forward.
Air conditioning is simply an extra component (air compressor) in the vehicle that needs power to function. Gas is the primary power source in a gas-powered vehicle. Anything you’re doing—even charging your phone—uses more of it. Therefore, when the AC is on, your vehicle is using more gas.
There have been a number of studies on fuel efficiency with windows open vs. air conditioning. It boils down to whether the vehicle is using more gas to overcome air resistance than it is to run the air conditioning.
RELATED: Cut Your Summer Electric Bill by Supercooling Your Home
When to Open the Windows
The consensus among the studies is that driving with the windows down is more efficient at slower speeds. Essentially, what we’re talking about is “city driving.” This means driving on non-highway roads, stopping at lights, making turns, and so on.
This has to do with air resistance again. When you’re driving at slower speeds, there’s less air resistance overall. Aerodynamics is not as big of a deal. Turning off things that use more gas—like air conditioning—will have a more direct impact on MPG.
Since vehicles are so different, there’s not a specific speed cutoff that will work for everyone. Studies generally show it’s better for fuel efficiency to open the windows under around 40 MPH. Between 40-75 MPH is more of a gray area.
When to Use Air Conditioning
As you may have guessed from the previous section, air conditioning is more fuel efficient at higher speeds. This is when air resistance starts to play a bigger role. It takes more power to overcome the drag than it does to power the air conditioning.
Again, there’s not a perfect speed threshold that works for every vehicle. A nice rule of thumb is to use AC when you’re on the highway—or speeds above 75 MPH. Anything under that—but above 40 MPH—is not as clear cut. That’s where the differences aren’t as pronounced.
A Simple Rule of Thumb
Here’s the short answer—roll the windows down when you’re driving around the city and crank the AC when you’re on the highway. If you need specific speeds, open the windows under 40 MPH and use the AC above 75 MPH. The MPG differences in the range between those speeds aren’t as great. Your wallet will be thankful.

With parts of Kent expected to hit a scorching 38C today (July 19), many people will be desperately trying to stay cool. The Met Office has issued an extreme heat warning for the county and the mercury has hit 39.1C in Charlwood, Surrey - a new all-time UK record.
While workers in offices benefit from air conditioning as temperatures climb today, those who have to work outside are not as lucky. In response to sweltering outside job conditions, The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has said: "Working in hot weather can lead to dehydration, muscle cramps, rashes, fainting, and - in the most extreme cases - loss of consciousness.
"Outdoor workers are three times more likely to develop skin cancer." Extreme weather events, such as the latest heatwave, result in excess deaths, with those exposed to the elements for hours at a time most likely to feel the effect, BirminghamLive writes.

Transport organisations have cancelled many services and told customers to only travel when absolutely necessary, while the Met Office issued a historic Red Extreme heat warning.
If temperatures continue to climb, working conditions are bound to become even more difficult - but when is it officially too hot to work outside?
Can you refuse to work outside?
Unfortunately, if you work outside, you have no legal right to refuse to work in extreme heat but your employer does have a "duty of care" for employees. The Health and Safety Executive says bosses have a responsibility to ensure that working conditions are "reasonable" but there's no specific maximum temperature at which outside work is called off.
Official Government guidance states that workers should be provided with fresh, clean air and a comfortable working temperature. But outside, this is tremendously difficult.
The TUC has repeated calls for a maximum temperature to be introduced for both office and outside work, especially given the ever worsening climate crisis. Union chiefs have urged employers to relax uniform rules and give staff more flexible hours to avoid the heat.
This could mean the likes of construction work and bin collection being done after 4pm, when the day's sun is past its peak. The TUC has called for a law which would mean employers must reduce inside temperatures if they go above 24C, meanwhile an absolute working limit of 30C, or 27C for those doing strenuous jobs.

Gun violence leads community groups to take bolder action
By THALIA BEATY
Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) — Dominique Davis was inside a Seattle-area church one day in March 2021 when a man with a handgun opened fire during a meeting of Community Passageways, a group he founded that works to curb gun violence.
The gunman shot 19-year-old Omari Wallace several times before fleeing. Wallace, who was attending an orientation for a program to steer young people away from violence and keep them out of prison, died from his wounds.
Two more Seattle shootings followed that week. “It was back to back to back,” Davis recalled.
In 2021, Seattle recorded more shootings involving injuries and fatalities than in the previous five years. Davis heard that a leader of one of two rival groups whose confrontations had intensified said the only way the bloodshed would stop would be if the groups could put some distance between each other.
So he seized the opportunity. Davis arranged for 16 young men from the two groups to leave the city — one to Phoenix, the other to Los Angeles — and paid them to stay away for 30 days and work with therapists and mentors. Davis said that since returning to Seattle, all but three of the young men, several of whom had previously been involved in gun violence, have faced no charges.
The unusual plan is an example of how community groups across the country that have long sought to prevent violence are adopting new ways to stem the surge in shootings over the past two years as well as a spike in gun purchases. Known as community violence intervention, the approach deploys people with personal connections — and credibility — with those most likely to be involved in gun violence. Though the approach isn’t new, interest in it is growing.
The Biden administration has made community violence intervention a key priority. It has designated $5 billion in support over eight years, though that funding has stalled in Congress, along with the rest of the administration’s Build Back Better legislation.
And under the just-passed bipartisan gun violence law, which seeks to keep guns away from dangerous people after the Uvalde killings fanned momentum for reforms, Congress provided $250 million for community violence prevention. The administration has also told municipalities and states that they could spend federal stimulus money, allocated last year, for violence intervention.
Support for these local organizations marks a departure from a long-standing reliance on policing to curb gun violence. Alia Harvey Quinn, executive director of FORCE Detroit, one such group, likens the approach to “how we prevent drunk driving with our friends: just intervening and snatching the keys aggressively and using our relationships to do so.”
___
In the same church in south Seattle in June, Davis invited members of local groups who try to defuse conflicts to the front of the room. The leaders — predominantly people of color, mainly Black — said their work is part of a long struggle for safety and justice and against systemic racism.
Beneath the words “Love,” “Joy” and “Peace” on the wall, Davis tallied the years in prison they’d served. Some shared journeys of redemption, how they eventually achieved freedom and now devote themselves to healing their communities.
They shared strategies with representatives from similar groups in Newark and Baltimore, part of an 18-month initiative sponsored by the Biden administration and paid for by a dozen philanthropic foundations. The Community Violence Intervention Collaborative launched in June 2021 to train and expand local organizations in 16 cities.
The training is funded by $7.4 million from the philanthropies, including the Ford Foundation, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Hyphen, a nonprofit specializing in public-philanthropic partnerships, manages the initiative. Its founder, Archana Sahgal, called the effort a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
“You’re able to turbocharge a social movement that reimagines public safety in this country,” Sahgal said.
So far, few large cities or states have responded to Biden’s call to invest in these programs. But municipalities have until 2024 to allocate their funding from the $1.9 trillion stimulus package, which was enacted in 2021 to address the pandemic and the economic damage it caused.
Researchers Amanda Kass of the University of Illinois Chicago and Philip Rocco of Marquette University analyzed how the money was spent between March and November 2021. They found that $79 million had been allocated by nine states and 79 localities for violence intervention.
That’s much less than the $5 billion Biden hoped to direct toward this work, although budgets adopted by those same entities propose spending $470 million on the projects over time.
___
Many leaders and participants in Seattle’s network of gun violence intervention have survived gunshots or have relatives who have been injured or killed by guns. They feel a growing urgency about their work. Some liken their fight for funding — from the city and King County or for small grants allocated through intermediary organizations — to “The Hunger Games.”
“We’re saying, give us the $30 million,” Davis said. “We know who is doing the work.”
Another Seattle-area organization, the SE Network, arranges community gatherings on Friday evenings — in the parking lot of a grocery store where a fatal shooting occurred in 2020 — to try to prevent further violence. The group’s executive director, Marty Jackson, said they use data about where shootings have occurred to determine where to deploy their teams.
“We totally know the rest of the city needs this kind of attention,” Jackson said. “We need resources to replicate what we know for sure is working in these concentrated places.”
Every year, she seeks renewed funding for her work, which includes sending trained workers to spend time around schools.
“You have to create performance measures for your work,” Jackson said, “and then market it yourself. It’s a daunting task.”
Jeffrey A. Butts, director of research at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York and one of the authors of a recent review of community intervention programs, cautioned against drawing easy conclusions about the effectiveness of such intervention.
“They say, ‘We started doing program X here two years ago and our shootings have gone down by 30%.’ And the audience applauds and everyone congratulates themselves,” Butts said. ”But that’s not evidence that the program resulted in that change.”
Some evidence does support such intervention, but Butts noted that many projects called community violence intervention actually target younger children or housing or economic programs. Without rigorous evaluation, he said, it’s difficult to assess the effectiveness of community violence intervention or determine which strategies work best.
___
Tim Daly, program director for gun violence at The Joyce Foundation, said government investment is critical.
“We need public dollars to be able to scale those strategies to the extent that is necessary,” Daly said.
Until then, organizations that intervene in gun violence are competing for a limited number of grants. Several groups that underwent training sponsored by the White House and philanthropies said they could use many more times their funding.
Alia Harvey Quinn of Detroit said her group could easily spend $15 million annually to provide a broad ecosystem of services, including therapy and entrepreneurship training. That would be in addition to the street outreach at the heart of community intervention — engaging with people who are likely to be involved with shootings. Her group’s annual budget is just $1.2 million.
A recently passed Michigan state budget included $500,000 for Harvey Quinn’s group and $3 million for a group in Flint, as well as $11 million in competitive grants that could go to community intervention. Detroit has allocated $12 million of its pandemic relief funding for the programs that hasn’t been spent yet.
In last year’s budget, Seattle granted $1.5 million to the violence intervention collaborative that includes Community Passageways and the SE Network. But the city has exhausted its pandemic relief funding. King County said it’s allocated around $1 million from pandemic relief funds to community violence intervention.
The Biden administration says it hopes its new program can generate further funding.
“By bringing philanthropy, the federal government and (community intervention) leaders together in this first-of-its-kind partnership, it puts our country on a path to redefining public safety in this country and reducing gun violence,” said Julie Rodriguez, a senior advisor to Biden.

Key Service Can Help Drivers Stretch Each Gallon
CENTREVILLE, Va., July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gas prices are averaging nearly $5 a gallon and that means every drop counts. Drivers can stretch those gallons further, possibly saving hundreds of dollars a year. And it's not just their driving habits – there are maintenance items that can have a big impact on a vehicle's fuel efficiency.
CARFAX has compiled tips to maximize mileage, but how much can drivers really save? Let's say you drive 12,000 miles per year, your car averages 25 mpg, and gas is $5 per gallon; if you follow these maintenance and driving tips, you could save up to $600 a year. If your car has several issues, or you're usually an aggressive driver, your peak gas savings could be even higher.
How can you save? Start with maintenance. Here are seven tips:
- Properly inflate your tires. Make sure your tires have enough air to help optimize your car's fuel economy. If your car's tires are under-inflated, it can lower gas mileage. You can find your proper tire pressure in your car's owner's manual.
- Keep up with oil changes. Regular oil changes are key. If you want optimal fuel economy, your best bet is choosing the grade of motor oil recommended by your car's manufacturer.
- Use the right gas. As with oil, use the gas recommended by your car's manufacturer to achieve optimal fuel economy.
- Get tune-ups when needed. Common tune-up items such as replacing dirty fuel filters, checking hoses for leaks, and making sure the fuel injection system is operating efficiently will payoff at the pump.
According to the EPA, fixing an out of tune engine can improve your gas mileage up to 40%. You may think you're saving money in the short term by waiting to get the work done, but in fact, you're just burning cash. - Get low rolling resistance tires. "Rolling resistance" measures the amount of effort required to keep a tire rolling down the road. Fuel-efficient tires can reduce rolling resistance by well over 10% compared to conventional tires.
- Drop extra weight. According to the EPA, an extra 100 pounds in your vehicle diminishes gas mileage by about 1%. As the weight grows, so does the mileage reduction. And the impact is greater on smaller vehicles. If you keep your trunk cluttered, clear it out.
- Improve your car's aerodynamics. Roof-mounted cargo can reduce your fuel economy by as much as 25%, according to the EPA. If you use a cargo box, remove it when not in use.
If you're unsure of your vehicle's maintenance history, check out CARFAX Car Care to better understand how the car was previously maintained. CARFAX Car Care is a free tool to track your service history and future needs, with timely service reminders. Finally, take the long view – CARFAX data shows that a well-maintained car is worth an extra $2,000 in resale value over one that hasn't gotten its TLC.
When trying to save gas, behavior also matters. Lay off any aggressive driving tactics – speeding, sudden braking, or quick acceleration; these all hurt your fuel economy. Cruise control is a great tool, especially with highway driving, to maximize mileage. It also helps when you watch your speed – gas mileage falls fast at speeds over 50 mph. According to the EPA, each 5 mph over 50 mph is the equivalent of paying an extra 34 cents per gallon of gas.

In a case involving bank loan fraud, BJP leader Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya withdrew his anticipatory bail application.Advocate Rizwan Merchant informed the Mumbai Sessions Court that he was withdrawing the plea on behalf of Mohit Kamboj.
A management of the Indian Overseas Bank filed a complaint with the Mata Ramabai Ambedkar Marg police station, leading to the filing of the FIR against Mohit Kamboj. The manager said in his complaint that one of three directors of a company that borrowed Rs 52 crore from the bank and utilised it for something other than what was intended was the BJP leader.
Mohit Kamboj, citing a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) circular, asserted that the Mumbai Police’s FIR is unlawful because the RBI requires public sector banks to report any fraud above Rs 3 crore to the CBI. | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/07/19/bank-fraud-case-bjp-leader-mohit-kamboj-withdraws-anticipatory-bail-plea.html | 2022-07-19T14:22:04Z | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/07/19/bank-fraud-case-bjp-leader-mohit-kamboj-withdraws-anticipatory-bail-plea.html | true | null |
UPS driver collapsed making delivery in scorching heat
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (CNN) – A Ring doorbell camera caught a UPS driver in distress in Scottsdale, Arizona during 108-degree temperatures.
Brian Enriquez said he was concerned after watching video of a delivery man collapsing at his door while delivering an envelope.
You can see the driver have difficulty walking up to the door, setting down the package and then falling to the ground.
After sitting motionlessly for about ten seconds, he falls onto his back then sits back up, rings the doorbell and slowly walks away.
Enriquez said he couldn’t get to the door in time and the delivery man was gone by the time he saw the video.
He did call the police non-emergency line and tried to contact UPS in case the man needed assistance.
UPS said the driver was OK and contacted his supervisor for assistance after leaving Enriquez’s property.
The company said that while frequent stops make air conditioning ineffective in their trucks, their drivers are trained in how to deal with high temperatures.

To grow big arms, you need to do cable tricep exercises. It’s imperative you focus on growing your triceps if you want big upper arms.
Your triceps make up a bigger portion of your upper arms. So it’s important to work on all three tricep heads to get the horse-shoe appearance of the muscle group.
Best Cable Tricep Exercises
Tricep exercises can be done with barbells, dumbbells and cables. It’s important to keep variations in your routine as you move forward. That'll ensure the muscles don't get used to one movement, resulting in a plateau or slow growth. More often than not, bodybuilders shock their muscles to help them grow.
On that note, here's a look at the five best cable tricep exercises:
1) Cable Tricep Pushdown
This is the most basic exercise you can do on a cable pulley machine. You can do this exercise with a straight bar or an EZ-bar.
Make sure you push the bar down, you’re able to completely stretch the tricep muscles before releasing it. This stretch is of utmost importance in this exercise.
2) Cable Tricep Overhead Extension
Usually, overhead extensions can be performed with straight bars, but you can use the ropes too.
To do this exercise, you must have stability and balance. As your back will be towards the machine, you can take support of the machine with your lower body before bending. However, it’s absolutely important to be sure-footed during this exercise.
3) Rope Kickback
The kickback is another great cable tricep exercise. More often than not, it’s done with dumbbells. However, if you do the exercise using cables, preferably use the ropes. That'll allow for a better range of motion than doing the same exercise using a different grip.
4) Single Arm Extension
Another exercise you can do using cables is single arm extensions. Single arm extensions allow you to focus on one arm at a time.
That means, the entire resistance is borne by the same arm, which helps you correct any muscle imbalance and strength issues. It also helps ensure both arms get worked at the same intensity.
5) V-bar Pushdown
The V-bar pushdown works in a similar fashion as a classic push down, but it helps with engaging the muscles more.
If you want to increase the intensity of this exercise, try to control the negative as much as possible. Controlling the negative is a proven way of boosting strength and muscle growth.
6) Lying Triceps Extension
Another good cable tricep exercise is the lying extension. It replicates the skullcrusher and dumbbell extension and is extremely helpful in destroying the muscles, enabling the muscle fibres to grow back thicker and stronger. It helps with adding muscle mass while toning the muscles for appearance as well.
7) Reverse Grip Cable Extension
Usually, reverse grips aren’t common during tricep exercises, as many stick to the basics. However, if you want to mix things up for variation, you can try the reverse grip tricep extension.
You should aim to begin with a light weight and then move forward to heavier ones as your strength grows,
Takeaway
Make sure to give some of the aforementioned cable tricep exercises a whirl during your next session. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/health-and-fitness/7-best-cable-tricep-exercises-men-who-want-massive-triceps | 2022-07-19T14:30:09Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/health-and-fitness/7-best-cable-tricep-exercises-men-who-want-massive-triceps | false | 1 |

LINDA EVANGELISTA has shared a new stunning picture from a professional photo shoot after being "brutally disfigured" in a cosmetic procedure.
Linda Evangelista on the Catwalk
Linda Evangelista, 57, has shared her latest fashion photo shoot ahead of a special Fendi fashion show to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the brand’s iconic Fendi Baguette bag. The supermodel stunned in the new modelling job, despite her ordeal with a botched surgery that left her “brutally disfigured”.
In the picture, shared in view of her 1.2 million followers, Linda looked chic in a grey jumper as she put some bags on display.
The look was accessorised with some nude enamel cat eye sunglasses and three baseball caps by the high-fashion brand.
Linda captioned the shot: “On September 9 2022 @Fendi will host a special fashion show in New York City to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the #FendiBaguette, designed by @silviaventurinifendi, and two years since @mrkimjones joined the Maison as Artistic Director of Couture and Womenswear. #Fendi”
Fans and friends of the model welcomed her latest update as they took to the post’s comments section to heap praise on the beauty.
Selmablair said: “Praise be! The skies just opened up. Natural order restored. more more more.
“Long love and live YOU @lindaevangelista”
__the__stylish added: “So so so happy to see this. Congratulations @lindaevangelista welcome back.”
Lydia.langford penned: “It is good to see you again!
“The gold standard at any age no matter what.”
Last year, Linda bravely spoke out about her experience with a cosmetic procedure that she claimed pushed her to the "lowest depths of self-loathing" over the last few years.
The model, who rose to worldwide fame in the 1990s, hoped that by sharing her experience, she would rid herself of "shame".
Linda took to Instagram with a lengthy post that she captioned: "#TheTruth #MyStory."

She began: "Today I took a big step towards righting a wrong that I have suffered and have kept to myself for over five years.
"To all my followers who have wondered why I have not been working while my peers' careers have been thriving, the reason is that I was brutally disfigured by Zeltiq's CoolSculpting procedure which did the opposite of what it promised.
"It increased, not decreased my fat cells and left me permanently deformed even after undergoing two painful, unsuccessful, corrective surgeries.
"I have been left, as the media has described, 'unrecognizable'."
Linda went on to explain what had happened in more detail, revealing that she had ended up in a “cycle of deep depression”.
She said: “I have developed Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia or PAH, a risk of which I was not made aware of before I had the procedures.
"PAH has not only destroyed my livelihood, it has sent me into a cycle of deep depression, profound sadness, and the lowest depths of self-loathing.
"In the process, I have become a recluse."
A CoolSculpting representative said rare side effects of the procedure, such as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), which Linda has been suffering from, "continue to be well-documented in the CoolSculpting information for patients and health care providers”. | https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1642831/Linda-Evangelista-new-photo-shoot-fendi-surgery-disfigured-before-after-pictures-latest | 2022-07-19T14:32:34Z | https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1642831/Linda-Evangelista-new-photo-shoot-fendi-surgery-disfigured-before-after-pictures-latest | true | 1 |

The president added that it would be free from institutional regulations, such as the treasury single account, public procurement and fiscal responsibility act.
However, Buhari said NNPC will operate under the oversight of international law as it relates with the oil industry, “It will of course conduct itself under the international business practices in transparency, governance and commercial viability.
“NNPC Limited will operate in a commercial, independent and viable national oil company at par with its peers around the world.”

A recent Instagram post from @valorantonly is doing the rounds as they discovered an exploit in Valorant. The exploit in question can be used by Omen when he uses his Shrouded Step ability to get into an unsuspecting spot on the Icebox map. The exploit is especially useful when defending the A site on the Icebox map.
Omen has always been one of the most valuable controllers in Valorant. His abilities, which include Shrouded Step, Paranoia, and Dark Cover, are beneficial when trying to control the flow of a match.
His Ultimate ability, which is From The Shadows, is pretty helpful in teleporting anywhere on the map, but especially useful when players teleport behind enemy lines to gather intel and get some free kills when the enemy is caught off-guard.
New Omen exploit in Valorant's Icebox map is proving to be pesky
Omen is a Controller-type agent and a Radiant, and he's extremely useful for backstabbing and flanking enemies. His Dark Cover ability is a global smoke that can be used to fake or cover allies from almost anywhere on a map.
His other abilities, the Shrouded Step and Paranoia, enable players to teleport a short distance and temporarily reduce the visenemies' visionctively.
The bug is regarding using the Shrouded Step ability on the Icebox box map. The bug is a defender-side bug that can be exploited to get the jump on enemies.
Players must use the Shrouded Step ability above A pipes to teleport onto a ledge inaccessible to other Agents. This hugely advantageous angle can be used to gather information or get easy frags.
This isn’t the first time an Agent has had an exploit or glitch that players can take advantage of. In some cases, Riot has decided to remove the agent from the selection screen until the issue is resolved. In this case, Omen is still available in all game modes as Riot isn't aware of the issue yet. Some community players even say this isn't a bug but a feature.
Although this isn't a game-breaking bug, it may be best to remove him and update the map or vice versa temporarily. The bug can be easily used to gain an unfair advantage over unsuspecting enemies and may be why a team loses a close match in competitive. It is enough to turn a match around and get free rounds in a low TTK game like Valorant.
Hopefully, Riot will notice and resolve this exploit before the masses start exploiting it. It can be a game-breaking bug when a higher echelon player starts using it. Players looking to use this exploit must be careful, as Riot may be handing out temporary bans to those abusing this bug. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/valorant/news-valorant-community-discovers-game-breaking-omen-teleport-bug-icebox | 2022-07-19T14:33:43Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/valorant/news-valorant-community-discovers-game-breaking-omen-teleport-bug-icebox | false | 1 |
Acquisition of Nativa to Expand Agricultural Input & Service Business in Brazil
CUIABA, Brazil , July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Sumitomo Corporation has reached an agreement with shareholders of NATIVA AGRONEGÓCIOS & REPRESENTAÇÕES LTDA. and NATIVA AGRÍCOLA E REPRESENTAÇÃO LTDA. (collectively, “Nativa”), an agricultural supplies distributor in southeastern Brazil, to acquire all shares of Nativa to make it a wholly owned subsidiary. The acquisition is through Agro Amazonia Produtos Agropecuários S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the 2022 fiscal year once necessary approvals from relevant authorities are obtained.
With population growth and rising income levels, especially in developing countries, global food demand is expected to increase approximately 1.7 times from 2010 levels by 2050. Amidst the demand for increased food production, an expansion in farmland is vital to increase unit yield, as is the demand for agricultural materials. Brazil boasts the world’s fifth largest export value of agricultural products, with soybeans, corn, sugarcane, coffee, oranges, and beef. In addition, Brazil is likely to become even more important as a food production area, as it leaves room for agricultural land expansion without deforestation.
Established in 2000, Nativa is an agricultural supplies distributor with eight locations and a fertilizer manufacturing facility in the state of Minas Gerais, located in southeastern Brazil. In addition to soybeans and corn, the state of Minas Gerais is a region where coffee, fruit tree, and vegetable cultivation and seed production are thriving, especially among small and medium-sized farmers. Nativa has built a strong customer base rooted in the community through the development, manufacture, and sale of unique products that meet customer needs, and through support for farming by agronomists (sales staff with knowledge of agricultural production technology).
Agro Amazonia has been in business since in 1983 and is one of the largest agricultural supplies distributor in the Midwest of Brazil, operating 50 outlets in eight Brazilian states, mainly in the Mato Grosso region. Sumitomo Corporation acquired full ownership of the company in 2018 and has since contributed to the expansion of Agro Amazonia’s business by leveraging its financing, procurement, and business management expertise.
Agro Amazonia contributes to the sustainable development of agriculture through the expansion of its product and service portfolio. It has grown its customer base to approximately 20,000 households, mainly consisting of livestock farmers and large-scale soybean and corn farmers with 1,000 to 10,000 hectares or more. The company is emerging as an industry leader in Brazil, with sales expanding more than five-fold since 2015.
With this acquisition, Sumitomo Corporation aims to expand the operation’s sales territory in Brazil and achieve further business growth by linking Agro Amazonia’s extensive product portfolio based on its strong relationships with agrochemical suppliers with Nativa’s fertilizer development and manufacturing capabilities and new customer segments.
From a global strategy perspective, Sumitomo Corporation has positioned agriculture as one of its next-generation growth fields and “Agricultural Input & Service” as a steady business growth category. In the agrochemicals field, Sumitomo Corporation started its agrochemical export business in the 1970s and currently operates an import and wholesale business in 37 countries overseas. In Europe, the company has expanded its value chain by acquiring agricultural supplies distributors. In the fertilizer field, since starting the fertilizer raw material import/export business in the 1950s, Sumitomo has built an integrated business base from importing fertilizer raw materials to manufacturers and selling direct to farmers, mainly in Japan and the Asia-Oceania region.
As part of its commitment to contribute to society, Sumitomo will continue to support stable and sustainable food production and the development of local communities and industries around the world. The company is intent on providing products and services that meet the agricultural needs of each country and region, while utilizing its expertise in the agricultural materials field for business expansion.

The All Star game holds a special place in my baseball heart - and maybe yours as well. While I used to watch the whole game (and I even kept score a couple of years - which I don’t recommend), the most exciting part of game isn’t the game its self - at least not to me.
It’s the player introductions.
If you loved baseball as a kid, I’m sure you more-than-once imagined yourself as an All Star. Even in that self-concocted fantasy world, there was pride in the proclamation of being named “All Star” and pretending to doff your cap when your name was announced.
Now, each year, it’s those introduction that I enjoy the most.
“And now your National League All Star reserves. From the Atlanta Braves ...”
It’s okay if you filled in your name there. I did, too.
Back to the real baseball world where a select few get to live out that dream and hear their name announced as an All Star for the Atlanta Braves.
Since the Braves moved to Atlanta in 1966, there have been 157 selections of Braves players to the National League All Star team - including six this year.
Like the rest of this retrospective series, the focus here will be on this most-modern, post-1990 era, but this is a special honor, so here’s a look at all the players who were selected to the National League All Star team since 1966.
There’s only one place we can start and that is with Henry Aaron. He was selected to a total of 25 All Star games, 24 of which came as a member of the Braves. (A reminder, if you forgot, that two All Star games were played for a handful of years in the late 1950s to early 1960s.)
Of those 25 appearances for Aaron, nine came after the team moved to Atlanta. Even though it is not uncommon for an outfielder to play a outfield position other than his primary position during the game, Aaron was selected as the starting right fielder in 1972 despite playing first base and in 1973 as a first baseman although he played most of the season in right field.
Ah, the days of paper All Star ballots.
In the Atlanta-era of the the 1960s, catcher Joe Torre and infielder/outfielder Felipe Alou joined Aaron as multiple year selections. A handful of other players were also selected, with the most notable being the first selection of Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Niekro’s career.
In the 1970s, the Braves had six different multiple-time All Stars make their only All Star appearance as a member of the Braves. Niekro and second baseman Felix Millan were the only Braves to join Aaron in making multiple All Star teams with Atlanta, while another five players made the only All Star game of their career as a Brave.
Among Atlanta’s All Stars was relief pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm, who made the 1970 All Star team as a reliever at age 47. It was the last of eight All Star appearances for the Hall of Famer.
The 1980s began with outfielder Dale Murphy making his first All Star appearance as the Braves lone representative in 1980. It would be the first of seven All Star games for Murphy, including five as a starter. The only other Braves player to appear in two All Star games in the decade was catcher Bruce Benedict, who was selected in 1981 and 1983.
The decade ended with John Smoltz’s first All Star selection - and the only one for the Braves that season.
The decade of the 1990s set sail with catcher Greg Olson representing the Braves as their only selection. Starting pitcher Tom Glavine held the same honor as Olson in 1991.
After than 1991 All Star game, things changed for the Atlanta franchise, and that shows up in the number of All Star selections the team had for the decade.
After 18 total selections in the 1980s (and 21 in the 1970s), the Braves had a whopping 37 selections in the 1990s. That’s 35 selection in the final eight years of the decade - more than four per season.
Multiple-time All Stars for the Braves included Glavine, starting pitcher John Smoltz, outfielder David Justice, shortstop Jeff Blauser, first baseman Fred McGriff, starting pitcher Greg Maddux, third baseman Chipper Jones and catcher Javy Lopez.
The 2000s didn’t quite meet the same standards as the 1990s, but the first decade of the new millennium still saw 29 Braves selections with only 2004 yielding a single selection, the honor of which was bestowed upon catcher Johnny Estrada.
The decade began with the second of two selections for first baseman Andres Galarraga and the first of five selections for centerfielder Andruw Jones. Other players to appear in two-or-more All Star games included Chipper Jones, Glavine, Smoltz, and catcher Brian McCann.
The Braves organization rebounded in the 2010s - despite a fall-off in regular season success in the middle part of the decade - with 31 selections for the decade. First baseman Freddie Freeman appeared in four All Star games tying closer Craig Kimbrel for the most selections during that ten-year period.
The only other Braves All Star to appear in more than one game during the decade was starting pitcher Julio Teheran, who was the team’s only selection in both 2014 and 2016.
So far in the 2020s, the Braves have had nine All Stars, headlined by two selections of outfielder Ronald Acuna, Jr., bringing his current career total to three.
Despite the shortened 2020 season, it is a shame that MLB didn’t at least select All Stars after the season, even if no game was played. If it had, there is no doubt that the Braves would have had multiple selections that season.
Here’s a look at some of the highlights of Atlanta’s All Star selections over the past 50+ years Braves baseball in the Deep South.

Notable Tidbits
- Fred McGriff (1994) and Brian McCann (2010) are the only two Atlanta Braves to be named MVP of the All Star game.
- John Smoltz is the only Braves All Star to be both the youngest and oldest All Star for a specific decade.
- No Braves player has ever hit more than one home run in a single All Star Game.
- Since 1966, Hank Aaron (1971, 1972) and Andruw Jones (2003, 2005) are the only Braves to homer in more than one All Star Game.
- Chipper Jones (2000) and Aaron (1972) both hit home runs in Atlanta when the Braves were the host team.
- Aaron is also the only Brave with two or more stolen bases in their All Star career while with Atlanta.
- Andruw Jones (2003) and McCann (2010) both drove in three runs in a single game, which is the most for any Brave.
- Smoltz (1996) is the only Braves pitcher to record a win in the All Star Game.
- Since the team moved to Atlanta, Phil Niekro is the only Brave to earn a save (he had 29 during his regular season career).
- Craig Kimbrel (2014) and Tom Glavine (1991) have the most strike outs in a single All Star Game appearance with three. Kimbrel struck out the side, in order, in his 2014 appearance. Glavine’s three strikeouts came in a two inning stint in the ‘91 game.
- Bobby Cox (5) and Brian Snitker are the only Braves managers to manage the National League All Star team since the team moved to Atlanta.
- Atlanta has hosted two All Star Games with the first in 1972 and the second in 2000. The region was to have hosted the 2021 All Star Game but it was moved to Denver because of reasons. Cue Forrest Gump.
Obscurity is relative, but by decade, here are some of the players who were selected to the All Star Game that you likely didn’t remember:
- Starting with post-1966 selections, I’ll go with Denny Lemaster, starting pitcher, 1967. It was his last season with Atlanta before heading to Houston.
- There are a few options for the 1970s, but Dick Ruthven’s selection as a starting pitcher in 1976 leads this list. He was actually selected again in 1981 with the Phillies.
- Another former Phillie, first baseman Willie Montanez, is also someone you likely didn’t know was an All Star, even through he was selected in 1977.
- A special mention to starting pitcher Buzz Capra (1974) and catcher Biff Pocoroba (1978) for having All Star names, in addition to their All Star selections.
- With so many one-time-only selections in the 1980s, it’s tough to choose just one, so we will again go with a former Phillie, catcher Ozzie Virgil who was selected in 1987.
- Gerald Perry’s 1988 selection as a first baseman is also one you may not have recalled.
- With the success the team had in the 1990s, many of the names are well-known with the fanbase, but Kenny Lofton’s 1997 selection as an outfielder may have been forgettable since he was only with the team for a single season.
- Shortstop Walt Weiss was a starter in 1998, but he is a player whose All Star appearance may have slipped from your memory.
- The Braves only had two selections in 2001: Chipper Jones and a starting pitcher. Kudos to you if you remember that the starter that season wasn’t Maddux, Glavine or Smoltz. It was John Burkett.
- Another starting pitcher will earn mention for skipping out of your brain in the 2000s. Russ Ortiz was one of five Braves to be selected in 2003.
- Although only four years ago, good on you if you remember that starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz was an All Star in 2018. You might have forgotten that fact. I know I had.
- Shelby Miller was the lone Braves representative in 2015 as a starting pitcher. It’s a shame he hasn’t able to stay healthy; but he was fantastic for the Braves during his All Star season - a season that was otherwise largely forgettable.
Although the All Star Game isn’t perfect, being selected to the game is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many of the 80-or-so players and coaches that participate in the festivities each year.
To all those former Braves who got to experience the game and festivities associated with being an All Star, congratulations and hopefully this year’s game will remind you of fond memories from your time in the spotlight.
And for the rest of us, on that special Tuesday evening in mid-July, we hope to get the joy of hearing, “And now the starters for the National League ... from the Atlanta Braves ...”

NEW YORK, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sumitomo Corporation of Americas ("SCOA") announced today its investment in TAE Technologies ("TAE"), a fusion power company and world leader in hydrogen-boron fusion research. The investment will help fund the construction of TAE's next research reactor, "Copernicus" and accelerate SCOA's implementation of fusion power in Japan and Asia as part of the company's strategy to help realize a carbon-neutral society.
Fusion power is expected to be a next-generation baseload power source. Considering this, the Japanese government is promoting the research and development of fusion technology as a non-carbon power source and moving toward formulating a nuclear fusion strategy. To support the evolving energy market, Sumitomo Corporation established its Energy Innovation Initiative ("EII") in April 2021, and has set "development and deployment of carbon-free energy" as one of the key strategies. Through this investment in TAE, Sumitomo Corporation will deepen its understanding of fusion power generation technology with the intent of leveraging its experience and business network to apply this resource across multiple markets and sectors, aiding in the decarbonization of society.
"We look forward to being a partner in bringing TAE's clean energy solutions to the Asian market, which will be paramount to sustaining local economies without impacting our planet," said Sandro Hasegawa, General Manager, Energy Innovation Initiative Americas at Sumitomo Corporation Of Americas. "We are pleased to support TAE's groundbreaking fusion technology to create safe, sustainable energy sources across multiple industries and applications."
Since 1998, TAE has worked toward delivering cost-competitive, environmentally benign hydrogen-boron fusion. Its fifth-generation reactor, Norman, was unveiled in 2017 and designed to keep plasma stable at 30 million degrees Celsius. After five years of experiments to optimize Norman's performance, the machine has proven capable of sustaining stable plasma at more than 75 million degrees Celsius, 250% higher than its original goal. TAE's approach differs from other nuclear fusion technologies in development because of its unique combination of plasma physics and accelerator physics. In addition, TAE's preferred fuel source of abundant hydrogen-boron will not have environmental impact, particulate emissions, radioactivity or fuel scarcity.
Fusion reactions are the same source of energy found on the Sun. TAE's technology recreates this reaction to produce energy that is non-radioactive, creating the fastest, most practical, and economically competitive solution to bring abundant carbon-free energy to the grid. TAE's Copernicus reactor is designed to demonstrate the viability of achieving net energy generation with TAE's advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) – the penultimate step on TAE's path to commercialize clean fusion power.
"The caliber and interest of our investors validates our significant technical progress and supports our goal to begin commercialization of fusion by the end of this decade," said Michl Binderbauer, CEO of TAE Technologies. "Global energy demand is growing exponentially, and we have a moral obligation to do our utmost to develop a baseload power solution that is safe, carbon-free, and economically viable."
About TAE Technologies
TAE Technologies (pronounced T-A-E) was founded in 1998 to develop commercial fusion power with the cleanest environmental profile. The company's pioneering work represents the fastest, most practical, and economically competitive solution to bring abundant clean energy to the grid. With 1,800 patents filed globally and over 1,100 granted, $1.2 billion in private capital raised, five generations of National Laboratory-scale devices built and two more in development, and an experienced team of over 400 employees, TAE is now on the cusp of delivering this transformational energy source capable of sustaining the planet for thousands of years.
The company's revolutionary technologies have produced a robust portfolio of commercial innovations in large adjacent markets such as power management, energy storage, transmission, electric mobility, life sciences, and more. TAE is based in California, and maintains international offices in the UK and Switzerland. Multidisciplinary and mission-driven by nature, TAE is leveraging proprietary science and engineering to create a bright future.

Aldi Shoppers Are Raving About Its Almond Butter Snack
Are you tired of eating the same old foods over and over again? Let's be real, who isn't? Many who are big fans of peanut butter might be among those who find they're reaching for the same snack or sandwich daily. But, who can blame you? That creamy or crunchy concoction made from ground roasted peanuts can satisfy the sweet and salty taste buds and can be spread on many favorite foods. Statista reports that in 2020, "299.34 million Americans consumed peanut butter."
Typically used in PB&J sandwiches, this popular spread can also be added to other foods like cookies, rice cakes, chocolate, and candy bars. You can also make a peanut butter sandwich with some things that aren't jelly.
If you're tired of peanut butter, you can always try almond butter, which is made from ground almonds. Almond butter has numerous health benefits, is packed with protein, and contains many vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. It's often added to bread, cookies, smoothies, and salad dressings (per Spiceography). And now, almond butter found its way into the world of snacks, and you can find these new almond butter snacks in Aldi.
Aldi shoppers have been waiting for these
If you enjoy Trader Joe's Almond Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets and you're in need of something else that's crunchy, creamy, salty, and sweet, you're probably going to like Aldi's Simply Nature Almond Butter Filled Pretzels. A bag of these snacks will leave your wallet lighter for about $4.99 per this Instagram post by @aldiforpresident, but your tummy will be thankful. Aldi shoppers are already raving about the snack taking to social media to share their delight.
Instagram users were quick to comment, replying to @aldifavoritefinds post, "These are my absolute favorite" and "The pretzels are great, wish they'd be year-round." One commenter accentuated that she has a peanut allergy, so she's thrilled that Aldi has these almond butter-filled pretzels, while another mused on inflation and high food prices. In any case, those craving a new treat will be happy to see this on Aldi shelves. For the best experience, it's recommended to pair this kind of snack with "a crisp lager, hot tea, or cold glass of lemonade" (via Trader Joe's). | https://www.mashed.com/932451/aldi-shoppers-are-raving-about-its-almond-butter-snack/ | 2022-07-19T14:54:58Z | https://www.mashed.com/932451/aldi-shoppers-are-raving-about-its-almond-butter-snack/ | false | 1 |
