Optical Illusion: Blink it & You will Miss it! What is the reason for disappearing illusions?
Optical Illusion Picture: The optical illusion pictures going viral these days are the disappearing illusions that one misses in one blink. What is so special about it? The optical illusion art looks like a version of modern art but is in fact a blurry colour cloud. You stare at it for a long and it vanishes somewhat in front of your eyes. We urge you to try the exercise or the optical illusion test below.
Optical Illusion: Rules to look at the image-
Take a look at the images below. The proper way to look at the image is given below:
- Close your eyes for 10 seconds.
- You have to open them now and stare at the image below for 15 seconds without blinking.
- Try to focus on the centre of the image, actually the dot there.
- You may start noticing the colours fading around the dot, and the longer you see it, the dot vanishes as well.
Optical Illusion: The First Thing You See Reveals The True Side of Your Personality!
Optical Illusion Test: See 5 Pictures To Reveal Your Personality Traits & Way Of Thinking!
Now try to look down at the image.
Optical Illusion Image:
Did you also notice the image colours fading? Now some of you must have started doubting your eyes while others must be boasting of their focus and skills of concentration. It is none of the above. The effect is called the Troxler effect.
What is the reason for this disappearing optical illusion?
The Troxler's effect as explained by the University of Glasgow's IllusionsIndex.org has been named after the one who discovered it, Ignaz Paul Vital Troxler. The effect was discovered in 1804. The optical illusion is based on a simple effect that once you focus on a point the objects around it start disappearing. The more unfocused the periphery, the more profound the effect.
Optical Illusion: Picture Reveals What Is Your Dream Goal In Life!
Optical Illusion Test: If you see a yellow circle in the image, your brain is lying to you!
What actually happens?
The illusion illustrates once you focus on a certain point what can also be referred to as a single target. Our eyes see an image through many micromovements in it, with each one collecting some information about the scene and passing it to the brain through synapses. This even happens when our gaze is fixated.
However, when our eyes are directed by the brain to focus on a point, the tiny movements called saccades to start concentrating only on one point. This is what causes the other parts of the picture to fade.
Try looking at the image below again to notice the effect now. It will be more visible and noticeable to you.
Neurons are programmed to be unbothered by stationary stimuli. This is what keeps our bodies from sounding the alarm every time we see something from the corner of our eye.

It’s not easy to make sense of the 77-minute video shot from an overhead camera near the classrooms where 19 children and two teachers were murdered in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24.
The video — released last week by the Austin American-Statesman — has an audio track that is garbled to near-unintelligibility. The gunshots — more than a hundred — are audible, but the screams of the terrified children have been, appropriately, erased. The camera captures an important slice of the events of May 24, but only a slice.
In other words, a significant amount of the context is not represented in the video. But there’s enough to deeply disturb most viewers.
An initial attempt to subdue the shooter fails. Then the video shows more than an hour of powerful-looking, well-armed men milling around in the hall, apparently uncertain what to do.
Sometimes they barricade behind ballistic shields and train four or five weapons down a long, empty hallway toward the classrooms for minutes at a time. Other times they stroll up and down the same hallway, seemingly unconcerned.
Sometimes the officers — representing at least five law enforcement agencies — appear to be examining the building’s floor plan. Sometimes they text or talk on their phones. They gesture, wave, signal each other, appearing to plan and strategize, but then for long minutes nothing happens.
At one point, an armed, helmeted member of the sheriff’s department strolls casually through an area previously barricaded by four or five men to use the wall-mounted hand sanitizer dispenser.
In short, it’s hard to tell what — if anything — is happening. The word that kept occurring to me as I watched was “confusion.”
Experts better trained to evaluate situations such as this one were unsparing in their criticism. Former Austin, Houston and Miami police chief Art Acevedo called the episode “the most incompetent response that I’ve ever seen. It’s not defensible.”
Acevedo is correct: The inaction of these officers is impossible to defend. But at the risk of appearing to defend them, I offer two elements of context that aren’t immediately apparent in the video:
Despite the bluster and bravado from some quarters, none of us knows how we would behave in these circumstances. After the Parkland, Florida, school shooting that killed 17, former President Donald Trump said that he would have run into the building “even if I didn’t have a weapon.”
Sure. But people of a more thoughtful turn of mind must concede that while they think they know what they would do, they can’t know for sure until they are in the situation.
Of course, this isn’t a defense of these officers. Bad leadership and a failure of courage appear to have immobilized them. If they don’t have the initiative and courage to act, they are in the wrong profession.
The second element not immediately apparent in the video isn’t a defense of them either. But it illuminates the question of responsibility for the failures in Uvalde.
The Uvalde shooter grew up in a culture awash in guns. It’s not just the 400 million weapons in the hands of private citizens. Gunplay is an essential element of our entertainment, in movies, television and video games. Kids can’t be blamed for growing up thinking that weapons are part of what it means to be an American.
The Uvalde shooter evidently had mental problems, but no one paid much attention. Nevertheless, as soon as he turned 18, we gave him legal access to high-powered, high-capacity weapons of war.
A few things the officers milling around confusedly in the hallway could be sure of: The kid was in a defensive position. He was probably ready to die. He very likely had a magazine in his semi-automatic weapon that holds at least 30 rounds.
If you judge these officers harshly, well, they deserve it. But don’t forget that we’re asking them to do something that you and I might not have the courage to do. and the most important thing that would make these officers’ jobs a little safer — limiting access to high-powered, high-capacity, semi-automatic weapons — we absolutely refuse to do.

A gang of armed men attacked a gated area in Qatar, murdered 29 dogs, and injured several other dogs after learning that someone had reported that the animals had bitten a child.
The assailants showed up at a protected factory area and threatened security personnel with guns before forcing their way into the facility, which is a place where stray dogs can be fed according to Doha-based rescue organisation PAWS Rescue Qatar. The men shot 29 dogs, including puppies, while also injuring a number of others.
PAWS Rescue said to NDTV, “Security team were rightfully scared as two of the men were holding guns. The security team tried to stop the men from shooting a group of beautiful friendly neutered dogs, but they realised that they were also putting themselves in danger also. These dogs posed NO harm to anyone, they were well looked after, very friendly and well-loved”
This incident has caused an outrage on the internet, the people are claiming that this act was barbaric and are also questioning the gun laws in Qatar. One of the internet users wrote, “Very disappointed Qatar! The Gulf region must start to evolve on such matters - this is inexcusable! Poor babies." "What a barbaric act! Not to mention the fact that people are having guns at home and using them. Qatar is a safe country?” commented another.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sided with a high school football coach who claimed the right to pray on the 50-yard line after each game, joined by those players who wanted to participate. The 6-to-3 decision was the latest example of the court's conservative supermajority requiring more accommodation for religion in public schools and less separation between church and state.
The decision was based largely on the lower courts' finding that that the school told the coach to stop his midfield praying because it would be perceived as a school endorsement of religion.
Writing for the court majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said that the school relied exclusively and improperly on concerns that the prayers would be viewed as a religious endorsement by the school. Without evidence that students had been coerced, the majority said, barring coach Joseph Kennedy from praying on the 50-yard line at the end of each game was a form of hostility to religion, in violation of the Constitution.
"Respect for religious expressions is indispensable to life in a free and diverse Republic. Here, a government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a personal religious observance, based on a mistaken view that it has a duty to suppress religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech. The Constitution neither mandates nor tolerates that kind of discrimination. Mr. Kennedy is entitled to summary judgment on his religious exercise and free speech claims," Gorsuch wrote.
The three dissenters said that account of the facts blinkered reality. Writing for the three liberals, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said that Kennedy's prayer was neither private speech, nor benign. She pointed to the fact that the coach conducted a media blitz leading ultimately to the field being stormed and students being knocked down. And she said "schools face a higher risk of unconstitutionally 'coerc[ing] ... support or participat[ion] in religion or its exercise' than other government entities."
"This decision does a disservice to schools and the young citizens they serve, as well as to our Nation's longstanding commitment to the separation of church and state," Sotomayor wrote. "Today's decision elevates the rights of a school coach who voluntarily accepted public employment, over the rights of students required to attend public schools and who may feel obligated to join in prayer." In doing so, Sotomayor claims, the court gives "short shrift" to the constitutions ban on state entanglement with religion.
University of Virginia law professor Douglas Laycock usually files briefs siding with religion advocates. But not in this case. He called Monday's ruling, "fundamentally dishonest" and pointed to the third sentence of the Gorsuch opinion, which characterizes coach Kennedy's conduct as "quiet isolated prayers," stating, "They weren't quiet and they weren't isolated. They were leading the students in prayer, and to say that's okay undermines all the school prayer cases." By that he means Supreme Court decisions barring teacher- or student-led prayers in public school classrooms, and ceremonies like graduation.
Villanova law school's Michael Moreland conceded that the facts in this case could cut either way, but he still said that the court got it right. He said that some of the court's school prayer precedents, but not all, may now fall by the wayside. Among those on firmer ground now he said are, "historical practices that have gone on for a long time and in a lot of parts of the country. That includes coaches leading prayers and it might include things like moments of silence at graduations."
Background to the case
The case began in 2015 when school administrators in Bremerton, Wash., instructed Kennedy to stop his praying on the field at the end of the game. But Kennedy, a former Marine, refused. "I fought and defended the Constitution and the thought of leaving the field of battle where the guys just played and having to go and hide my faith because it was uncomfortable to somebody, that's just not America," he said.
By the time of the homecoming game, Kennedy's media appearances had made him something of a celebrity, and things in Bremerton had gotten so tense that despite extra police at the game, the mainly pro-prayer crowd mobbed the field, knocking over some of the band members and cheerleaders. Kennedy, surrounded by TV cameras and some players, knelt to pray on the field while a state legislator placed his hand on Kennedy's shoulder in support. That wasn't all. There were Satan worshippers there, too, from Seattle. It was, recalled the school principal, "a zoo."
The school continued to tell Kennedy and his lawyers that it wanted to accommodate his wish to pray, but it wanted a less public demonstration of faith because it said the post game prayers would be seen as the school endorsing religion.
Near the end of the season, after Kennedy repeatedly refused to stop his public praying, the superintendent placed Kennedy on paid administrative leave. Kennedy did not apply for a new contract the following year. Instead, he sued the school district, contending it had violated his right to free speech and the free exercise of religion.
What the opinion means
Monday's decision is the latest in a long line of recent decisions siding with religious interests, and against more secular ones. Among them: the court has ruled that the constitution bars federal anti-discrimination laws, including those requiring accommodations for sick and disabled employees, from applying to lay teachers at religious schools; it ruled that a Catholic social services agency could refuse to abide by its contract with Philadelphia, a contract which required it to work with same-sex couples applying to take in foster children; it ruled that closely held for-profit corporations could refuse, on religious grounds, to abide by a federal law requiring insurance to cover contraception for their employees; it ruled that city councils and other public boards are free to open their meetings with explicitly Christian prayers. It ruled that a 4o-foot cross honoring soldiers who died in World War I could remain on state property at a busy intersection in suburban Maryland.
This is far from a complete list, but it is an indication of more such decisions to come in the future. The current court is the most pro-religion of any court in nearly 70 years, according to statistics compiled for an upcoming article in The Supreme Court Review, written by law professors Lee Epstein of Washington University, St. Louis, and Eric Posner of the University of Chicago. While the number of pro-religion outcomes edged up to 58% overall when William Rehnquist was chief justice (1986-2005), the rate has skyrocketed to over 86% in the years since then with John Roberts as chief justice and the court's composition growing steadily more conservative.

INOVIO Announces Corporate Reorganization, Including Workforce Reduction, To Reduce Expenses
(RTTNews) - Biotechnology company INOVIO (INO) announced Tuesday that it has implemented a corporate reorganization designed to extend its cash runway and to focus on key clinical programs with the goal to drive long-term growth.
The reorganization, which includes an 18% workforce reduction in full-time employees and 86% reduction in contractors, along with other cost-saving measures, is expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately 30% over the next 18 months and will extend the Company's cash runway into the third quarter of 2024.
INOVIO expects a one-time restructuring charge of approximately $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2022.
This reorganization is aligned with the previously announced strategic changes for the INO-4800 development program to focus on the heterologous boost indication, as well as the development path and timeline for VGX-3100, a product candidate for treating HPV-associated cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL).

Diablo fans have battled demonic legions and plundered rare treasures since the original game hit shelves in 1996. But now, many are rallying against the latest title, Diablo: Immortal.
The Netherlands and Belgium have gone so far as to ban the newest iteration of the game entirely, released earlier this month, for allegedly exploiting players to keep them hooked and spending money. Though the game can be downloaded for free, users can pay to improve their odds of scoring valuable loot. One streamer spent more than $15,000 in an effort to obtain just one of the game’s most desirable items.
“Even the original creators of Diablo have compared the game to a slot machine,” says Polygon senior games editor Maddy Myers. “But when you add micro-transactions to the equation, you get that slot machine effect in a much more literal way. That’s the piece of it that I think may have upset some officials in the Netherlands and Belgium.”
Diablo: Immortal now faces headwinds in entering China’s lucrative mobile game market. But there’s little sign developer Activision Blizzard will bow to critics and change the game’s model. Even as furious gamers bombed Diablo: Immortal’s Metacritic score, the game reportedly earned $24 million in its first two weeks.
Interview Highlights
On how Diablo: Immortal makes its money despite being free to download
“Well, I think people might be familiar with the idea of a free-to-play mobile game. Maybe they have Pokémon GO, for example, which is not decried as being quite as manipulative emotionally as Diablo: Immortal. But folks are probably at least familiar with the concept.
“You download a game; you play it for a while. If you want to advance just a little bit faster — not have to collect all those items all by yourself — you can just throw a couple of bucks at it and get those items right away. That is more or less how Diablo: Immortal works. It’s just that it’s significantly deeper. There are a lot of different kinds of characters you can choose. This is a medieval setting. You’re clicking on little skeletons in order to destroy them. You’re fighting the devil eventually — hence the title Diablo — and the amount of things you can buy in the game is astounding. And the more you buy, the better you perform. That’s the controversial part.”
On the backlash against Diablo: Immortal from fans who prefer the older PC games
“I think the backlash comes in two different forms. Actually, there is a gendered backlash against mobile gamers that is based on the fact that that’s a very diverse gaming platform. Everybody does have a phone, after all. But then there’s also a backlash against the kinds of predatory monetization techniques that are used in certain mobile games: free-to-play mobile games.
“I would also say, for example, Pokémon GO, my go-to example because it’s so popular, no predatory microtransactions there, in my personal opinion. You can buy stuff if you want. It’s also pretty fun to just play it without spending a dime. Diablo: Immortal, however, I think the backlash, despite that some of it did seem gendered, at least at first, now that the game is actually out and we can see how it’s been designed, we as critics and as gamers can tell that unfortunately, it is using some of the worst predatory design practices that can be attached to microtransactions.
“But even the original Diablo games still had that emotional manipulation. Even though you were just paying once at the beginning and there wasn’t a dollar sign attached to every treasure chest you opened, those games were still addictive. I’m not sure if any game that’s addictive can ever be fully value-neutral.”
On developer Activision Blizzard’s response to the criticism
“[Activision Blizzard] seems just fine with it. So now the game is at 10 million installs. And Blizzard did an official tweet from their account saying ‘in just one week, Diablo: Immortal is the biggest launch in franchise history,’ suggesting by this tweet that this is a massive win for Diablo fans everywhere, which is funny because, critically, this game has been panned by people.
“Yes, it’s making a lot of money and a lot of people are installing it. But people who actually review video games for a living and also user reviews are decrying how manipulative the game actually feels to play. And it makes you wonder: are all those people spending money because they really want to or because they feel like they were tricked into it?”
James Perkins Mastromarino and Jorgelina Manna-Rea produced and edited this interview for broadcast with Gabe Bullard. Perkins Mastromarino and Manna-Rea also adapted it for the web.

Sri Lanka crisis: Decoding Sajith Premadasa's gameplan
Experts believe that Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa and opposition members made a calculated move to pull out of the presidential race as they do not want Gotabaya Rajapaksa's candidate to win.
Three candidates -- Dullas Alahapperuam, acting president Ranil Wickremesinghe and Anura Kumara Dissanayake -- are in race for the top post in Sri Lanka being held on July 20. The Sri Lankan Parliament, which has a total of 225 members, is witnessing a triangular contest after former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled the country to Singapore and resigned on July 14 amidst the country's worst-ever economic crisis.

Experts believe that Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa and opposition members made a calculated move to pull out of the presidential race as they do not want Gotabaya Rajapaksa's candidate to win.
Alahapperuma is a former education minister and dissident parliamentarian from Rajapaksa's family-led ruling party, Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP). As per the reports, a rift has emerged in the ruling party, with several MPs believed to be supporting Wickremesinghe too. The third candidate is the left-wing leader Dissanayake of the National Peoples' Power party. It should be noted that the party has only three members in parliament.
Analysts believe there will be a close fight between Wickremesinghe and Alahapperuma, with the former being ahead since the majority of the legislators from the ruling party are extending support to him.
Sri Lanka, which has a population of 22 million, has been struggling with severe fuel shortages, life-saving drugs and other essential commodities. It had to seek bailout packages from the International Monetary Fund after its economy shattered and foreign reserves depleted.
How does the presidential election take place in Sri Lanka?
The Parliament has a strength of 225 members. The candidate has to secure over fifty per cent votes if everyone comes to vote.
Out of these three candidates, one has to bag fifty per cent of votes among the total votes polled through a secret ballot.
If no one gets over half of the valid votes cast, the candidate with the lowest number of votes would be removed from the race.
Why did Sajith Premadasa withdraw from the race?
In a tweet, Premadasa said, "For the greater good of my country that I love and the people I cherish, I hereby withdraw my candidacy for the position of President."
After pulling out, he extended support to Allahaperuma.
Dr Dhananjay Tripathi, Associate Professor at South Asian University in Delhi, said: "Political leaders are facing tremendous pressure from Sri Lankans. No politicians wants to fight elections in the current scenario. They all have been managed somehow for the contest. The situation is such that the Sri Lankans do not want to pay any heed to anyone."
"Political stability is a must in Sri Lanka as the island nation is struggling with complete vacuum and anarchy. There is a need for a recognized and credible government. Ranil became the prime minister a few months back and the president a few days ago. Even then, he is facing people's ire. So the face should be such that the citizens can believe in," he said.
"Without international community involvement, I don't think the Sri Lankan crisis would be resolved. India will have to play a major role. Since India has goodwill in Sri Lanka, it can coordinate with the global community in bringing the island nation on track," he added.
Another expert, Dr Smruti S Pattnaik, a South Asian expert and Research Fellow at the MP-IDSA, said: "Premadasa knows that given his party's number in Parliament, he will not be able to win the election. So by withdrawing, he has a moral victory. By supporting Dullas, he is trying to ensure that Ranil loses. Dullas will have the support of the SJB and will take some votes of SLPP away from Ranil."

Pinterest Stock Surges After Interest From Activist Investor. Should You Buy Now?

After the increase in fuel prices and the domino effect on food, water and electricity; more people are starting to feel the pinch of rising costs.
Here are some tips to keep you afloat and making sure your rands last longer.
Cut back on expenses
Cutting back on expenses means finding more affordable alternatives for pricey items. It might mean adjusting beauty routines from purchasing fewer products to switching to more affordable brands.
Cut back on expenses
For instance, Bramley offers a variety of tissue oils at affordable prices compared to other brands on the market.
Beauty sales
Most retailers like Clicks and Dis-Chem have specials and discounts at different periods of the month.
Deals like three for the price of two or buy one get one free go a long way in helping you save. Seek out better deals and prices. Stores will have pamphlets alerting you on the latest sales and deals.
Multi-use products
This economy calls on you to be creative. Find different ways in which to use one product in your daily routine.
For instance, a tissue oil can be used as skin moisturiser, a make-up remover and added with sugar to create a scrub.
Instead of buying an exfoliator and a face wash, why not buy a face wash with exfoliating properties?
There’s a common belief that if a product is expensive, it has to be good however, what science shows us, is that this is not necessarily true.
Use products sparingly
Most products have a long shelf life. Take advantage of this by using them sparingly. We tend to have a generous hand or be wasteful when it comes to certain products so why not try to be conservative in your use.
For instance, it is recommended that adults use at least a pea-sized portion of toothpaste for brushing your teeth, yes, a pea size. | https://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/style-beauty/beauty/how-to-maintain-a-healthy-skincare-regime-on-a-budget-cf1b36fb-7dfa-47e4-b65c-92ff572fe79a | 2022-07-20T08:52:16Z | https://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/style-beauty/beauty/how-to-maintain-a-healthy-skincare-regime-on-a-budget-cf1b36fb-7dfa-47e4-b65c-92ff572fe79a | false | 1 |
Lori Mangum was 32 when apple-sized tumors sprouted on her head. Now — six years and 10 surgeries later — the skin cancer is gone. But her pain lives on, in the form of medical debt.
Even with insurance, Mangum paid $36,000 out-of-pocket, charges that stemmed from the hospital, the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, the pharmacy, and follow-up care. And she still has about $7,000 more to pay.
While she was trying to manage her treatment and medical costs, Mangum remembers thinking, "I should be able to figure this out. I should be able to do this for myself."
But medical billing and health insurance systems in the U.S. are complex, and many patients have difficulty navigating them.
"It's incredibly humbling — and sometimes even to the point of humiliating — to feel like you have no idea what to do," Mangum said.
If you're worried about incurring debt during a health crisis or are struggling to deal with bills you already have, you're not alone. Some 100 million people — including 41% of U.S. adults — have health care debt, according to a recent survey by KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation).
But you can inform and protect yourself. NPR and KHN spoke with patients, consumer advocates, and researchers to glean their hard-won insights on how to avoid or manage medical debt.
"It shouldn't be on the patients who are experiencing the medical issues to navigate this complicated system," said Nicolas Cordova, a health care lawyer with the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty. But consumers who inform themselves have a better chance of avoiding debt traps.
That means knowing the ins and outs of various policies — whether it's your insurance coverage, or a hospital's financial assistance program, or a state's consumer protection laws. Ask a lot of questions and persist. "Don't take 'no' for an answer," said Cordova, "because sometimes you might get a 'yes'."
Even people with health insurance can land in debt; indeed, one of the biggest problems, consumer advocates said, is that so many people are underinsured, which means they can get hit with huge out-of-pocket costs from coinsurance and high deductibles.
Here is some practical advice about facing down medical debt, at every stage of care and after.
Before You Get Care
Get familiar with your insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs
Get the best insurance coverage you can afford — even when you're healthy. Make sure you know what the copays, coinsurance, and deductibles will be. Don't hesitate to call the insurer and ask someone to walk you through all the potential out-of-pocket costs. Keep in mind that you cannot make changes to your policy except during certain windows of time, such as open enrollment (typically in the fall or early winter) or after a major life event.
Sign up for public insurance if you qualify
If you're uninsured but need health care, you might qualify for public insurance like Medicaid or Medicare. Ask the provider or hospital if they can help you check your eligibility before you commit to a care plan — and then stay with providers who participate in those programs.
Check whether the specifics of your care are covered
After your doctors map out your treatment plan, check whether all the providers you need to see are in-network and whether any part of the treatment needs to be preauthorized. Ask lots of questions of your insurance provider, doctor's office, or hospital, especially for planned procedures, said Joy Dockter, a lawyer at Central California Legal Services, a public interest law firm. "Are my authorizations in place? What are my copays going to be? Find all that out beforehand, if you can," she said.
Additionally, said Mark Rukavina, a program director at health equity advocacy group Community Catalyst, if the drug you want isn't covered by your insurance, ask whether the drugmaker has a patient assistance program; many do, though eligibility requirements vary.
Get a cost estimate
If you're uninsured, ask for a cost estimate in advance. Rukavina noted that the federal No Surprises Act, which took effect in January, requires providers to give uninsured patients "good faith" estimates of what planned care will cost.
Find out whether you're eligible for financial assistance — and come prepared to make your case
Almost every hospital offers some form of financial assistance, or "charity care." Each hospital sets its own eligibility requirements but typically will waive or discount bills for patients earning less than two to three times the federal poverty level. (Three times the federal poverty level for a household of four in 2022 would be $83,250.)
People who are employed often still qualify for a discount, if not for free care, said Jared Walker, founder of Dollar For, a nonprofit group that helps patients secure charity care. His group developed a database of hospital charity care policies and has an online tool that allows patients to check their eligibility.
Even if you're not sure whether you qualify, it's worth trying. Gather up documents such as pay stubs or income tax returns. Do not expect this to be an easy process. For example, Walker said, health care providers often require documentation to be faxed. "One of the most common refrains I heard from experts: Persistence pays," Walker said.
If you've already qualified for government benefits like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, that may streamline applying for a hospital's financial aid.
If you're not a U.S. citizen or legal resident, check whether your state bars the hospital from considering immigration status, as is the case in New Mexico and Maryland.
Check for other forms of financial assistance
Ambulance services, which can lead to huge bills, might offer charity care programs, so ask whether you qualify. Also ask your medical providers if they know of other charitable programs that would cover costs for things like rides to medical appointments.
During Treatment or Soon After
Ask for line items of the costs for every service, prescription, or treatment you receive
Keep an eye on costs as they come up, said Louisville cancer patient Lori Mangum, who is now chief operating officer of Gilda's Club Kentuckiana, a cancer support group she relied on. Ask a family member or a support group to help you keep track, she said. And never assume that just because insurance covers one part of your treatment, that goes for everything else.
Scrutinizing your care can help you avoid costs. Mangum said she realized too late that she could've taken her own Tylenol, instead of paying "exorbitant" markups on the same medicine at the hospital. She said self-advocacy begins with pressing for answers about how much each service, treatment, and medication will cost — in advance, if possible.
Check whether providers are in-network
Consumer protections in the No Surprises Act should help limit out-of-network charges. That law bans "surprise" billing for most emergency care, as well as for some routine care with out-of-network providers. It also limits what providers can bill for out-of-network doctors, Rukavina said, and gives patients greater ability to dispute charges.
Make sure all your providers — including an anesthesiologist, for example — are in-network for your insurance. If it wasn't disclosed to you in advance, that charge may be worth appealing.
Rukavina noted that if you are not insured or not using your insurance and asked for an estimate in advance, you can dispute bills that exceed the estimates by $400. For patients seeking more information about the No Surprises Act and what it covers, Rukavina recommended calling the government's No Surprises Help Desk at 800-985-3059. For patients with complaints, he recommended filing an online complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Check for double billing
Go through each item on your bill. Mangum said that "it's not infrequent for something to be double-billed." Even if you've already been discharged and gotten behind on payments, it is worth checking to make sure you weren't overcharged.
Negotiate with the hospital directly
Consumer advocates said people mistakenly think medical costs are fixed and nonnegotiable. That was the case for John DeAnda, who fainted while working as a cleaner at a New Mexico hospital. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him after four days of tests, but the hospital billed him for $8,000, which he's still trying to pay off, with interest, nine years later.
"I actually didn't realize you could negotiate," said DeAnda. "What I would've done differently is I would've talked to the hospital first, to see if they could work out a deal with me" before the bills were sent to collections.
If you know you cannot pay the bill, negotiate with the hospital administration or billing department. "That's almost always possible" because hospitals want to avoid the costly administrative burden of sending bills to collections, said Ge Bai, a professor of accounting and health care policy at Johns Hopkins University.
Ask repeatedly about any other forms of financial assistance the hospital might offer. Negotiate the terms of payment to a monthly level that is affordable for you. This also saves the hospital the administrative headaches of unpaid bills, and it might help you avoid having bills sent to collections.
Prioritize paying for food and shelter over medical bills
Financial institutions and lenders treat medical debt differently than unpaid consumer bills. People choose to take a loan to buy a car; they don't choose to get ill or injured. So just because people have medical debt does not mean they are unreliable or less likely to pay their bills in general. The three major credit-rating agencies recently agreed that unpaid medical bills will not affect people's credit scores for a year. Once a bill is paid, it should come off your credit report immediately. Starting in 2023, unpaid medical debt under $500 should not appear on reports either.
That means you should focus first on paying for life necessities — rent or mortgage, gas to get to work, and food, said Marceline White, executive director of the Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition.
Do not sign up for credit cards that offer to pay medical bills for you
Experts warn against using credit cards offered by dentists, hospitals, and doctors' offices to pay medical charges. Once you take out credit cards, personal loans, or second mortgages, the debt will get lumped in with any other form of consumer debt — the same as if you overspent on clothes or a luxury SUV. That's one reason medical debt is often underreported; a lot of it masquerades as other forms of debt. Once you convert a medical bill to a credit card or personal loan, it's more likely to hurt your credit score and therefore your ability to borrow in the future.
If you are already in debt or in collections
Try to qualify, even after the fact, for charity care
Hospitals sometimes overlook or fail to screen patients eligible for their financial assistance programs. Nonprofit hospitals are required by law to offer charity care and other community benefits. This is where self-advocacy can make the biggest difference. Sometimes hospitals will retroactively qualify patients and write off their debts. Volunteers at Dollar For will help patients push for that.
Dispute your bill if it is inaccurate
Rukavina said that under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, debt collectors are required to provide a written notice, within five days of contacting a patient, detailing the amount owed, the name of the creditor, and how to dispute the bill. Patients can dispute inaccurate bills if they respond within 30 days. Rukavina said even patients whose bills are in collections can tell bill collectors they wish to apply for financial assistance if they haven't already. If the patient qualifies, the collector cannot charge more than what the patient would've had to pay.
Contact free legal aid services
Lawyers around the country will represent consumers free of charge to resolve legal cases, including medical debt cases. They often have experience dealing with hospitals and third-party collections companies and might be able to argue your case on your behalf, especially if one or both have violated your state's consumer protection laws.
Do not ignore the issue
The impulse is understandable, but it will not help and will likely make the debt even more complicated to address, said Rukavina. As daunting as it might be, try to keep advocating for yourself and your family and get help.

Acting President Ranil Wickremesinghe was on Wednesday elected as Sri Lanka's new President by Parliament, following a high-voltage political drama which saw his predecessor Gotabaya Rajapaksa fleeing the country and resigning after a popular uprising against his government for mismanaging the economy.
The 73-year-old six-time prime minister secured 134 votes in the 225-member House while his nearest rival and dissident ruling party leader Dullas Alahapperuma got 82. Leftist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake secured just three votes.

The new President will have a mandate to serve out the rest of Rajapaksa's term, which ends in November 2024. Earlier, the voting by secret ballot took place amidst tight security in the wake of the simmering tensions in the island nation triggered by the unprecedented economic and political crisis. In the crucial election, 223 lawmakers voted while two MPs abstained. Four votes were rejected while 219 were declared valid.
Wickremesinghe became acting president after his predecessor resigned. Backed by Rajapaksa's party, he is deeply unpopular with the protesters.
Wickremesinghe has not laid out his plans but allies have told local media that several lawmakers from various parties have agreed to back him in parliament so that he can form an all-party administration. The president must ensure supplies of food, fuel and medicine as inflation is seen touching 70 per cent mark.

According to Bloomberg, the economy likely contracted sharply in the second quarter after shrinking in Q1. Power outages, fuel shortages and clearance delays of imported intermediate goods likely hit industrial production and business activity hard. These disruptions are set to persist into the third quarter.
With their bargaining power capped by the high unemployment rate, workers are likely to see their purchasing power eroded by soaring prices, which does not bode well for domestic demand.
Sri Lanka's economic crisis has increased friction with China, it's biggest investor. The ouster of pro-China president will likely cause relations to worsen in the coming years. That makes room for India to strengthen ties with its neighbor via investment, trade and tourism.
This is for the first time in 44 years that Sri Lanka's Parliament directly elected a president. Presidential elections in 1982, 1988, 1994, 1999, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2019 had elected them by popular vote.
The only previous occasion when the presidency became vacant mid-term was in 1993 when president Ranasinghe Premadasa was assassinated. DB Wijetunga was unanimously endorsed by Parliament to run the balance of Premadasa's term. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/ranil-wickremesinghe-elected-as-sri-lankas-new-president-8855481.html/amp | 2022-07-20T09:08:49Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/ranil-wickremesinghe-elected-as-sri-lankas-new-president-8855481.html/amp | true | 2 |
James Scott has suffered another injury setback and the Hull City forward is set to miss more of the Tigers’ pre-season preparations, as per HullLive.
Scott, 21, spent last season on loan at Hibernian.
Playing in Scotland’s top tier, Scott registered 19 appearances scoring four goals and providing one assist.
Scott joined the Tigers back in 2019, but injuries have hampered his progress year on year. And now, Shota Arveladze has admitted another hurdle is on the way for Scott – the Hull boss said:
“Around the bone muscle (in his shin), he got an injury in pre-season and he felt it hard. It is common, actually, but he should rest.
“I could see a striker who had a touch, who could score a goal but unfortunately when I came to see him, he got injured.”
It sounds as if the Hull City boss can see talent in Scott, but injuries have prevented the youngster from being able to properly showcase them so far.
Finding consistency…
Scott has proven if he stays injury free he is a hugely talented prospect.
Last season for Hibs during their relegation round, he contributed to five goals in five games, but he is yet to find form at Hull City.
Under new ownership, the Tigers are enjoying an incredibly progressive summer and their supporters are optimistic about the season ahead. The Tigers’ squad is growing in ability and therefore competition, meaning Scott will have to work even harder to get his chance.
The former Motherwell attacker is now in the final 12-months of his contract and if he can’t find fitness and form soon, the chance of him being a free agent this time next year is increasingly likely.
Hull City begin their Championship campaign with a game against Bristol City, and it’ll be interesting to see if Scott features in any capacity. | https://the72.co.uk/2022/07/20/he-should-rest-arveladze-reveals-hull-city-injury-blow/ | 2022-07-20T09:09:36Z | https://the72.co.uk/2022/07/20/he-should-rest-arveladze-reveals-hull-city-injury-blow/ | true | 1 |

Good Morning Britain viewers were disgusted as they tuned into the latest episode of the ITV show and witnessed an interview with a 100-year-old war veteran.
Jan Stangryciuk was robbed of his war medals, jewellery and thousands of pounds in cash after conmen tricked their way into his home.
The elderly man was targeted by three men claiming to be from a water company and said "it was a horrific shock".
GMB hosts Ed Balls and Ranvir Singh invited Jan into the ITV studio to discuss his ordeal alongside a male friend of his.
Jan explained: "Yes it was a terrific shock for my wife, and of course it was a shock for me.
"I thought the people who commit that crime probably should have had more respect for my old age," he added.
Viewers tuning in at home couldn't believe what they were hearing and took to Twitter to comment.
One person posted: "That's disgusting that. Some people are just cruel horrible people #GMB."
Another tweeted: "Robbing a man who’s a 100 years old of his medals. Couldn’t stoop any lower. Scum. #gmb
A third person fumed: "Poor Jan, there are some right evil b*stards out there. #gmb," and a fourth said: "Imagine risking your life for this country and this is how society repays you. Sad times! #gmb."
Someone else posted: "That poor man. Some people are so screwed up they are beyond contempt. #gmb."
And another viewer tweeted: "#GMB how utterly repellent to rob a 100 year old war hero.I hope someone watching knows who they are and hands them in."
A different person asked: "How nasty can you be robbing a 100 year old and a ww2 hero?! #GMB."
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV Hub. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/tv/gmb-viewers-sickened-100-year-27526731 | 2022-07-20T09:10:21Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/tv/gmb-viewers-sickened-100-year-27526731 | false | 2 |

A MARTINEZ, HOST:
Botanists have identified a new species of giant water lily big enough for two people to sit and float on its lily pad.
CARLOS MAGDALENA: They look a little bit like a giant frying pan, if you like.
LEILA FADEL, HOST:
A giant, green frying pan. Carlos Magdalena is one of the researchers who broke with the scientific thinking that there were only two species of giant water lilies.
MAGDALENA: They are quite difficult to collect in the wild because explorers - if they are working in the forest and they see one 1 kilometer away in the middle of a lake, it's a bit of a drama to get there.
MARTINEZ: But Magdalena began growing specimens in a place where they'd be a little easier to reach and observe - at Britain's Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. And he noticed that some of them produced different lily pads, flowers and seeds.
MAGDALENA: Everywhere you look in the plant, you can find the difference.
FADEL: Magdalena credits a childhood fascination with water lilies for making it all possible.
MAGDALENA: Utterly obsessing is fantastic when you get obsessed with doing something fantastic.
FADEL: That fantastic discovery is a brand-new species now known as Victoriana boliviana.
MARTINEZ: And Magdalena says every time you discover a new species, it makes it possible for conservationists to protect them.

Thomas Curran has been appointed as the new head of the Teagasc advisory service, with Teagasc approving the appointment on Tuesday.
Curran will lead the Teagasc advisory service, which is delivered to farmers nationwide by a team of agricultural advisers, managed through a network of over 50 Teagasc offices across 12 advisory regions.
The advisory service is part of the knowledge transfer directorate headed up by Dr Stan Lalor.
Curran is an agricultural scientist who graduated from University College Dublin with a bachelor of agricultural science. He went on to complete his research masters in agricultural science, also at UCD.
Leadership
He has completed a leadership development programme with the Irish Management Institute and has also completed a management development programme.
Curran is currently regional advisory manager in Teagasc Cork west, a position he has held since 2019.
Prior to that, he was a collaborative farming specialist for six years and led the development and promotion of collaborative farming business structures including farm partnerships, contract heifer rearing, contract cropping, cow leasing, share farming, long-term land leasing, machinery and labour sharing and rider/breeder contracts in the sport horse industry.
Earlier career
In his earlier career, he worked as a Teagasc business and technology dairy adviser in Dunmanway, Skibbereen and Clonakilty in Co Cork. He also worked as a REPS planner for Teagasc during the 1990s.
Curran said it is a very exciting time facing the advisory service in Teagasc, as it prepares and supports farmers for a modern and dynamic farming and food sector.
“In particular, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to address the economic, environmental and social sustainability challenges facing the sector.
"Farming this year is dominated by farm input and output price volatility, so careful business and financial planning by farmers is more important than ever.”
Dr Stan Lalor said Curran brings a wealth of experience from a variety of technical and leadership roles he has held in Teagasc, leading many initiatives and joint programmes.
“Teagasc continue[s] to focus on supporting all farmers, industry stakeholders and partners in the ongoing sustainable development of the farming and agri-food sector in the context of food production requirements and opportunities, and the priorities within Ireland’s CAP strategic plan and Food Vision 2030 ambitions,” he said.
Dr Lalor also acknowledged the outgoing head of advisory service Dermot McCarthy, who retired from the role earlier this year. | https://www.farmersjournal.ie/new-head-of-teagasc-advisory-service-named-710808/ | 2022-07-20T09:42:04Z | https://www.farmersjournal.ie/new-head-of-teagasc-advisory-service-named-710808/ | false | 1 |

In the midst of former President Trump's first impeachment, then-White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham says he called her into his office at the front of Air Force One. He had been watching one of the hearings and didn't like what he saw.
"He screamed at me, lots of expletives, told me how useless I was," she said. Her sin: "not enough people were on TV defending him."
Despite the former president's apparent dissatisfaction, in 2019 and early 2020 there was a wide-reaching, highly coordinated effort to defend him in the court of public opinion. That isn't the case now, as the House Select Committee on January 6th wraps up its series of summer hearings in prime time Thursday night.
Republican leaders boycotted the hearings, so unlike Trump's televised impeachment trials, viewers haven't seen a vigorous defense of his actions from the dais. And there's not much of a broader outside defense of Trump, either.
A coordinated strategy during impeachment
During the first impeachment, over Trump's withholding of military assistance to Ukraine and efforts to strong-arm the country's leader into launching an investigation of Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, the Republican National Committee, congressional Republicans, outside groups, the Trump campaign and a large team at the White House all had a coordinated strategy.
"The president had a dedicated White House staff of press relations people and communications people and lawyers to put together rapid responses," said Steven Groves, who as a deputy press secretary worked on Trump's impeachment defense.
Outside groups ran dozens of TV ads targeting members of Congress over impeachment and defending Trump, calling it "the radical left's impeachment obsession" and a "witch hunt" and a "travesty." There were nonstop cable hits from Trump-friendly surrogates and regular press conferences at the Capitol.
At a press conference in late September 2019, none other than Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney came to Trump's defense.
"Ever since President Trump was elected, the House Democrats have been careening from impeachment theory to impeachment theory," she said in her capacity as a member of the House Republican leadership. "But what we see repeatedly is a complete lack of focus on concern about evidence and facts."
Today, excommunicated from leadership for her criticism of Trump and Jan. 6, Cheney is vice chair of the House select committee, arguing Trump is a threat to democracy. But other congressional Republicans, still in his corner, simply aren't defending Trump in the same way they did during the first impeachment.
A lower-octane public defense
A decision by Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House, not to name anyone to the committee means the Jan. 6 hearings are a one-sided presentation of evidence, more like a grand jury proceeding than a trial. They are nothing like a traditional congressional hearing with the whiplash of representatives from both parties scoring partisan points and asking leading questions. But the sorts of press conferences led by Trump allies in Congress that were standard during impeachment have all but disappeared along with the flood of cable appearances.
"There hasn't been as much of a sort of day-to-day focus from the congressional members who go on Fox as there was in the past," said Matt Gertz, a senior fellow at the progressive group Media Matters for America. Part of the reason for that, he said, is they aren't on the committee, so they don't have insight to add about the committee's inner workings and they don't have clips of explosive hearing exchanges to talk around.
"Fox News and others in the right wing media are spending less time engaging on a point-by-point basis than they did, say, during Donald Trump's first impeachment," said Gertz, whose job is to closely monitor the conservative media ecosystem.
And there isn't a defense during the commercial breaks, either. An analysis from the tracking firm AdImpact found more than 120 different anti-impeachment ads in 2019 and 2020. Some were from candidates, including Trump, but most were from outside groups. This time around there have been fewer than 20 ads mentioning the Jan. 6 investigation and those are mostly ads for primary candidates running against anti-Trump Republicans.
Groves says a big reason for the lower-octane public defense is simply that Trump is no longer president. The infrastructure that was around the president doesn't exist for the post-presidency.
"It's just not there anymore," said Groves. "He can't even go on Twitter and rapid-response on his own."
Trump was kicked off of Twitter on the day of the riot at the Capitol.
Defending the indefensible
Other than a skeleton crew of staff working for Trump in his post-presidential office, who didn't respond to a request for comment, there's no one whose job it is to publicly defend him. Doug Heye, a former communications director for the Republican National Committee, says there's no reason the RNC should be going to bat for him, especially with the midterms coming.
"The RNC and Republicans on Capitol Hill know they are poised for a great election year and what's the biggest thing that could be a hurdle to that? Donald Trump, who is not their principal anymore," Heye said. "So it's not their job to defend him and sometimes you just don't want to defend the indefensible."
A big argument from Trump allies is that these hearings are one-sided and dull. Filling inboxes and airwaves with rapid response messaging could undermine that argument.
"We really prepared for this epic battle and we also prepared for it to be a dud," said Matt Schlapp, who runs the pro-Trump group CPAC. It created a "J6Facts" Twitter account, which has about 2,000 followers now, and hired extra consultants, Schlapp said.
"It was a little dramatic in the beginning but over time it's been more of a dud," he said.
Of course, he has a reason to say that. When he is invited to appear on Fox News and its competitors, Schlapp largely discusses inflation, immigration and crime, themes that are getting a lot more airtime than the hearings, and that Republicans see as a winning message for the midterms.
Schlapp says the stakes just feel lower with these hearings than they did with impeachment because "They can't do anything to the president. They can't prevent him from running."
If the hearings break through, with no coordinated defense of Trump's reputation, it could hurt his chances should he run for president again.

Devastated homeowners have described how they've 'lost everything' after having to flee as an inferno engulfed terraced houses in the heatwave.
A blaze which is believed to have began in dry scrubland in Wennington, east London, engulfed several homes and sparked evacuations of homes as firefighters fought the blaze.
Plumes of thick black smoke were seen from up to ten miles from the scene yesterday as temperatures breached 40C.
Dozens were evacuated to a nearby Premier Inn, grabbing pets and leaving behind medicines, where they desperately waited for news of their loved ones and their homes.
A villager from fire-ravaged Wennington today described how he he fled his home in just the clothes he was wearing.
Tim Stock, 66, who works as the village gravedigger and church warden, managed to escape with his family, two dogs and a tortoise.
He said he managed to get everyone into the church only for that to fill up with smoke.
He said: “I lost everything. The house, the garden, we had two beehives, there was no going back.
“My son took some stuff and went round to his mate’s house but about 10 minutes later that burnt down two/three hundred yards away so he has got nothing either.
“We opened up the church because I have the keys, we got everyone in, people were covered in soot, they were having a drink of water, but then that started filling up with smoke so we had to get everyone out again.
“I’m surprised it didn’t burn down as well to be honest.
“The fire started across the cornfield, at one point I got stuck behind the cordon and the field was burning so I couldn’t get out that way.
“I lost my phone but the locals got me a new one from Tesco.
“I’ve been a gravedigger for 50 years. My truck has blown up, that belonged to the council. I didn’t have time to get it out.
“Last night I stayed in Thurrock Hotel. The council was trying to put us up in people’s houses but we’ve got two dogs and my tortoise Malty."
He said the "kindness has been heart warming".
"People are so quick to help, someone called Nancy saw a call for help on a Facebook group and came down in her car and dropped off some clothes and water and drove us around about five miles.
“There were so many names I can’t remember, people have been so kind.”
Alfie Stock, 26, went onto the roof of his parents’ house in an attempt to try and stop the fire spreading but realised the ground beneath him was burning.
He said within minutes the fire had spread.
Speaking to the Metro, he said: "The neighbour’s house was gone, there was nothing that could be done. By the time we phoned the fire brigade they were busy fighting another fire so they were out, they took a fair while to turn up.
"Then when they did there was no water pressure because the water was being used elsewhere, so the first houses, my mum’s house and the neighbour’s, they were gone."
One elderly woman was seen crying hysterically saying: "Oh my God - the house is gone", while her family tried to comfort her.
Others were asking council and fire officials about whether their pets had been rescued and if their homes were still standing.
Riminta Maceikaite, 38 and her son Nikas Janulevicius, 13, said their neighbours' homes were burned down but as far as they can see from TV aerial shots, their house is still standing.
Ms Maceikaite said they were "very anxious" about their home, adding: "When you look on a camera when it shows you from the sky it just freaks you out."
Nikas said: "Our house is on the news and it's the only house that hasn't been burned so far.
Asked if they had seen or spoken to other residents, he said: "I saw my neighbour, he was OK, he was helping to put out the fires."
The pair were trying to find their pet dog and cat with Ms Maceikaite saying: "The firefighters said if they heard a bark they would potentially break a door and if they've been rescued they supposed to have been brought here but in the main hotel they say they don't know nothing about that."
Resident Janet Hickey, 70, who has terminal pancreatic cancer, said she was forced to leave all her cancer drugs behind as they were evacuated.
She said: "I've got all my cancer drugs in the fridge."
Her husband Patrick Hickey, 71, added: "We had to leave everything."
"We're hoping against hope that our house is still there," he added.
Mrs Hickey said they are feeling "devastated", adding: "We've been living there 50 years.
"I'm terminally ill so it's not great to lose all that. I'm also an artist and all my paintings are there."
Growing tearful she later added that she had spent 50 years building her garden and buying flowers from fairs to plant in it.
A woman fled her burning home with just her photo album, a cat and her dead father's ashes.
Two of her cats are still missing following the massive fire which she said might have started in a compost bin next door to her.
The story emerged as a friend, who would not give his name, returned to the village to look for her cats.
He said he was looking after two people who had lost their homes.
He said: "I just came down to look for the cats of two friends who are staying at mine in Upminster.
"I heard the scrapyard was looking after pets but I haven’t seen the cats and the police aren't letting anyone through.
"The fire, it was next door to their house, and she seems to think it came from a compost bin. She said it enveloped the treeline.
"She tried to get her cats out, one jumped out of her hand, the other she got in a box and the other ran off.
"It scratched her hand it was so frightened.
"She was evacuated to the Windmill pub but luckily I'm local so I phoned them up when I heard and they came to stay with me in Upminster.
"They are more concerned about the cats than the rest of it. They're in shock but there are little bits coming back to them.
"She lost her father last year and she picked up her photo albums on the way out and his ashes.
"Otherwise it's all gone, everything. They've got two vehicles and they are not even letting them go in to get them, a van on The Green and a Porsche outside someone's house.
"At least if they get them they are mobile."
Simon Clarke, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, has promised that the Government will "step in" to help families hit by major blazes sparked by the extreme heat.
He did not say specifically what help the Government might provide to those without insurance, whose homes or belongings were destroyed.
"The Government will stand by people who need assistance," he told Sky News.
"The Government will be looking carefully at what we can do to make sure that everyone receives the support they need.
"And obviously, the first thing is to make sure that they have the support in the very immediate term - people may have lost all their belongings, their identity documents.
"I know our local councils will be stepping up to look after people who've been affected across the country by fires, but clearly central government stands ready as always to step in as needed."
Londoners have been urged not to have barbecues on Wednesday despite temperatures dropping, because the grass is still dry and will allow fire to spread rapidly if it catches alight.

LONDON (AP) — Officials at Britain’s Foreign Office warned against the U.K.’s plans to deport asylum-seekers to Rwanda, citing the East African country’s human rights record, according to documents cited in a lawsuit brought against the British government.
In written submissions filed Tuesday, lawyer Raza Husain said Foreign Office officials told then Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab in March that if Rwanda were selected for the policy, “we would need to be prepared to constrain U.K. positions on Rwanda’s human rights record, and to absorb resulting criticism from U.K. Parliament and NGOs.”
The government initially excluded Rwanda from the shortlist of potential destination countries for deported migrants “on human rights grounds,” according to Husain, who is representing a group of asylum-seekers, charities and public employee unions.
The group brought legal action against Britain’s government over the deportation agreement reached with Rwanda in April.
Under the plan, Britain would deport people who enter the U.K. illegally and in exchange for accepting them, Rwanda would receive millions in development aid. The deportees would be allowed to apply for asylum in Rwanda, not Britain.
Authorities have defended the plan, arguing it would deter asylum-seekers from making dangerous and “unnecessary” trips on small boats across the English Channel. But it has drawn outrage from human rights activists, the United Nations and many others who say it is illegal and inhumane to send people thousands of miles away to a country they don’t want to live in.
Some have denounced the policy as an attack on the rights of refugees that most countries have recognized since the end of World War II.
Citing internal memos and other government documents, Husain said a Foreign Office note from April said the human rights concerns about Rwanda included the potential for “torture or degrading treatment” of the deportees.
Husain also said the U.K.’s high commissioner to Rwanda indicated last year that the country should not be used be considered for several reasons — including that it “has been accused of recruiting refugees to conduct armed operations in neighboring countries.”
Britain was forced to cancel the first deportation flight at the last minute last month after the European Court of Human Rights ruled the plan carried “a real risk of irreversible harm.”
Home Secretary Priti Patel has vowed that her government would not be put off by such legal challenges.
Britain’s government has argued that while Rwanda was the site of a genocide that killed hundreds of thousands of people in 1994, the country has built a reputation for stability and economic progress since then. Critics say that stability comes at the cost of political repression.
Yvette Cooper, a lawmaker from the opposition Labour Party, said the documents were evidence that the Rwanda deportation plan was “unworkable and unethical.”
“Today’s revelations show that ministers knew the policy was unenforceable, would be at very high fraud risk and would undermine U.K. foreign policy and our ability to raise the issue of Rwanda’s human rights record,” Cooper said.
Two judges are expected to give their decision Wednesday on when a full hearing over the case will take place.

Astronomy enthusiasts in the UAE should keep their eye on the eastern sky before dawn on Friday (July 22) to see the crescent moon approach Mars.
This comes as the Moon continues its voyage of the morning planets with experts saying it will make for an “interesting stargazing target.”
The Moon and the Red planet will appear close enough to share the same field of view.
Explaining this phenomenon called “Conjunction” when two or more space objects are seen very close to one another, Hasan Al Hariri, CEO-Dubai Astronomy Group, highlights, “All the planets are visible in the morning sky. When conjunction happens, it seems as if they are all almost in one lane. So, the Moon will be in one line and will be within an approachable distance with the planets. Now the Moon will be close to Mars on Thursday night, after Jupiter and Saturn (earlier in the month). Next will be Venus.”
He adds, “This conjunction is a visual effect. It seems as if the Moon is coming close to these planets. This phenomenon will be repeated in the coming months with other planets as well. This will make for a beautiful view that people can observe. To observe this phenomenon, one must be an early bird. After 3am all the way till 4am one can observe this clearly towards the Eastern side. It will be a crescent moon.”
Elucidating on the technicalities of ascension, Sarath Raj, Project Director – Amity Dubai Satellite Ground Station and AmiSat Amity University Dubai, said, “Technically, when two celestial bodies in the sky have the same right ecliptic longitude, a conjunction occurs. On the celestial sphere, right ascension corresponds to longitude as it appears on the surface of the Earth. The Sun’s apparent passage across the sky during a year is marked by an imaginary line called the ecliptic. Using the Sun’s location at the March equinox as a reference, ecliptic longitude is calculated along the ecliptic eastward. With the exception of Mercury, the major planets in our solar system stay within three degrees of the ecliptic.”
He underlines that the Moon frequently forms conjunctions with certain planets.
He adds, “Every month the Moon passes each planet in the sky as it completes its orbit around the Earth. The moon will be in close proximity to five planets in July 2022: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. On 21 July 2022, the moon will have a Right Ascension of 02h 05m 54.8s, Declination of 10° 43′ 00.5″ and a magnitude: of -9.86. Alongside, Mars will also have its Right Ascension of 02h 34m 37.0s, Declination of 13° 18′ 14.0″ and a magnitude of 0.31.
“Sharing the same right ascension, a close approach or an appulse will happen in the sky between Mars and Moon. The movement of the Moon toward a star or planet while it is in orbit is known as an appulse. The two will be visible in the dawn sky from Dubai, rising at 23:22, ascending to an altitude of 64.9° above the eastern horizon, and then disappearing from view as dawn breaks at roughly 05:05.This can be seen with the naked eye or with a pair of binoculars.”
It’s said although the Red Planet will come as close as 1°03’ to the Moon, but it’s still too wide to see both objects together through a telescope.
Therefore, experts advice using a pair of binoculars, or observing the conjunction with the naked eye.

Apple agrees to pay $50 mn to settle flawed 'butterfly' keyboards lawsuit
A group of MacBook users in 2018 had filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple for the controversial butterfly keyboards, alleging that the new design failed when even tiny particles of dust accumulated around the switches.
San Francisco: Apple has agreed to pay $50 million to settle the lawsuit over flawed "butterfly" keyboards in MacBooks in the US.
A group of MacBook users in 2018 had filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple for the controversial butterfly keyboards, alleging that the new design failed when even tiny particles of dust accumulated around the switches.
They alleged that the company concealed the fact that its butterfly keys were prone to failure.
The lawsuit covered those who purchased an Apple MacBook with a butterfly keyboard in seven states: California, New York, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Washington, and Michigan.
Apple later launched an improved keyboard design in late 2019.
Once the $50 million agreement is approved, those who replaced multiple keyboards can expect maximum payouts of $300 to $395 and people who replaced one keyboard can get $125 and those who replaced key 'caps mat' get $50, reports CNBC.
Law firms Girard Sharp LLP and Chimicles Schwartz Kriner and Donaldson-Smith LLP can claim up to $15 million from the $50 million windfall to cover legal fees.
Apple had extended four years of free key repairs to customers who bought MacBooks with butterfly keys.
The tech giant earlier said that one consolidated suit shouldn't cover multiple tweaks to the butterfly keyboard.
The plaintiffs, however, argued that all butterfly keyboards may have the same fundamental problems due to their shallow design and narrow gaps between keys.
Apple later launched a new MacBook Pro series with Magic Keyboard, which is now available across Apple's laptop lineup, touted as the "the best typing experience ever on a Mac notebook."
The butterfly keyboard was slimmer than Apple's previous design, which used industry-standard scissor switches.
"It is important to note that on one hand about 30,000 BSNL executives are struggling with pay issues and denying all legitimate dues on the name of financial crunch and other side senior managers are enjoying all pay and perks of the 7th pay revision," the letter said, and added that the equal treatment to executives or engineers has not been extended by company's management.

This interview is part of a series about the 50 greatest fictional deaths of all time. It has been condensed and edited for clarity.
Slate: I don’t think there is a single death on this list that made me more mad when I first experienced it than Seymour’s. What was the origin of this soul-crushing episode ending? Was your goal to crush souls?
Eric Kaplan (screenwriter, “Jurassic Bark”): Well … [long pause] … you know, yes. Not souls, but—we always tell ourselves that we make choices for the good of others, and those stories we tell ourselves are often convincing, but it doesn’t mean they’re always true. So the point of that episode is Fry tells himself a story that Seymour never would have waited for him, and he would have wanted him to go on with his life. And you can see why that story is useful for Fry to believe. But it’s not true.
Primo Levi writes about Auschwitz, and he says that no one who has ever seen the Gorgon ever reports back what it was like. So we’re all in a position of ignorance writing about death. Maybe one of the emotional roles that stories play is that they let us experience an ending. In real life, the one ending that we’re gonna have, we don’t get to report back. So by having a story that has an ending, we kind of get to imagine what it would be like to have the ending, a death, and then come through to the other side and have some sort of perspective on it.
It’s interesting to hear this meditation on death and the stories we tell ourselves in the context of a cartoon dog.
The spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down.
Well, a lot of viewers found that spoonful bitter and difficult to swallow! Seymour is in the proud tradition of sad pet deaths in American culture—Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern Grows. When you were writing this episode, were you trying to tweak that archetype? Or pay homage to it?
What I was thinking about was the true stories of dogs that have waited for their masters for decades. There’s a Japanese dog who did that. If you reflect on the character of Fry a little bit, he’s a commentary on a particular kind of American protracted adolescence. When he learns that everybody that he knows has died a thousand years ago, he’s happy, because he gets to hang out with robots! And that’s kind of a dark insight, that his life was so meaningless to him that he was eager to leave it behind. So the idea that a dog loved him tugs the heartstrings.
And when he has a chance to do something for this one creature he did once feel a tie to, he doesn’t, out of what he thinks is respect for this creature that was once important to him.
Yes. He’s wrong, but it’s plausible. It’s a plausible story that he tells himself.
Some readers might not know that in later Futurama episodes and movies it’s revealed that Seymour’s post-Fry life was not quite as lonely as it seemed.
I haven’t seen those. But if you say so, I’ll take your word for it.
So you didn’t work on those.
I worked on a couple of movies but I didn’t work on the later season, after the third or fourth resurrection.
Not to stir the pot, but what do you think about the later revelation that Seymour, it turns out, did actually spend all those years with, I believe, a clone replica of Fry in—
What?!
A clone replica of Fry, in perfect happiness.
Well, that’s some nutty baseball, that’s all I can say. I don’t want to criticize the work of other writers in Slate, come on. But that’s what we would call, in the philosophy trade, some nutty baseball.

This year at one of the most prestigious film festivals and red carpets of the world, Cannes Film Festival, India was the “country of honour”, which meant more India presence from the arts industry. Along with regulars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, many digital creators made their debut on the red carpet. One of them was Malvika Sitlani Aryan, among the few Indian beauty influencers to have walked the carpet as part of L’Oreal’s beauty brigade. Besides having a whopping 551,000 following on Instagram, she is also the CEO of her brand Masic Beauty.
Also Read: Why does the beauty industry ignore older women?
In an interview with Lounge, Sitlani Aryan talks about what “real beauty” means in the age of Instagram filters, persisting gaps in the Indian beauty industry and her Cannes debut. Edited excerpts:
Cannes and every other major red-carpet event, including the Met Gala, is opening up its guest list more to content creators. What does this mean for the content creator industry?
Cannes was definitely a step ahead for India as a country and the content creator industry. It really gives hope to the upcoming content creators that this career can allow people to showcase their talent to the world. There are so many unique creators that the world is yet to see and these are the kinds of exposure that are needed for artists to grow.
As more marketing shifts to Instagram, brands are actively using the power of content creators to lead their promotions as opposed to Bollywood celebrities earlier. What is the reason behind the shift?
Social media creators are much more accessible on their platforms. We engage and communicate with our audience on a daily basis, by doing a Q&A or responding to comments directly. The brands now understand that we also bring value and authenticity to the table. It’s not just a “massive following” but it’s also high engagement.
Instagram is inundated with 'beauty' filters. What do you think is the definition of 'real beauty' now?
Beauty goes far beyond flawless skin, great hair or any other preconceived notions of what looking beautiful entails. I am extremely candid on my social media about my blemishes, textured hair or weight gain. Real beauty to me is authenticity. Be true to yourself and share your unique, wonderful self with the world. That's what is and should be appreciated.
What is your advice for people just getting acquainted with makeup? What’s a good place to start?
If you’ve never used makeup before, it can be quite intimidating given the number of products out there in the market, but I think creating an "essential makeup kit" is a good start. You don’t need heaps of makeup, you just need the basics: base, liner, blush and a few lipsticks. You must understand your face shape and watch a tonne of YouTube videos, and yes, keep practising, because that’s what I did.
Your job requires you to wear makeup most of the time. When you're not working, how do you take care of your skin?
I’ve had past experiences of skin fatigue or my skin reacting to new products, but that is a part of my job. So, I just let my skin breathe free every few days. I follow a simple skincare regime and keep my skin hydrated. I use a lot of moisturizers and face oils that have my favourite ingredient, squalane.
There's an overload of information on skincare and makeup on the internet. How do you suggest people can go about finding what's right for them?
Follow creators you can relate with and can eventually trust with product recommendations. Also, finding someone who has a similar skin type and tone to yours helps a lot. Having said that, skincare and makeup are super subjective; what works for one, might not work for you. So, always do a patch test before trying a new product.
The Indian beauty industry has come a long way but do you still see any gaps in the space?
As the founder of a brand, I can say that we need more inclusivity in shades, we need more vegan, cruelty free and, most importantly, “clean” products in the market. But we don’t have easy access to them. A lot of new brands typically struggle with creating unique products, whether it has to do with formulation or packaging because of shortage of ingredients and variety. It’s also very capital intensive to import packaging all the way from China or Taiwan. India is one of the top leading countries in the beauty space, and we need help with accessibility to create a memorable brand for the audience.
What do you like to do on your down days?
I like creating a cosy environment in my home by lighting candles, changing into comfortable clothes and watching movies or reading a book. I also love hanging out with my family and my friends.

DEAR ABBY: I retired to Malaga, Spain, after my marriage of 38 years ended in divorce. I have gone to dinner with a few men since moving here. This is a lovely community with many retired residents from all over Europe and the U.K. My problem is, after a few dates, they assume that because they bought me dinner it entitles them to sex. I am fit and fairly attractive, but I may be out of touch on dating.
These men have implied to others that we DID have sex, and now single and married men are calling me. The only way they could have gotten my number is through these men. I have tried to make light of this, but I’m worried that when my sons or grandchildren visit next month, they will hear something that isn’t true. How do I stop this nonsense without causing hard feelings? -- NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL
DEAR NOT LIKE THAT: What has been done to you is vile and disgusting. Someone you refused to have sex with has retaliated with the equivalent of writing your phone number on a bathroom wall. Tell your sons NOW what has been going on so they will be prepared when they visit. And if you accept any more invitations, make clear IN ADVANCE that you will be paying for your dinner yourself.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been trying to have a child for nine years with no success. We have been through 14 rounds of fertility drugs, only two of which were successful, but neither one produced a child. My husband wants me to stop treatments because he doesn’t like what the medications do to me, and I have agreed to stop because I think my body is just too tired. But, Abby, all of me wants to be a mother. Must I give up, or should I keep trying even though it might lead to further heartbreak? -- MATERNAL IN WASHINGTON
DEAR MATERNAL: Listen to your body. It may be time to consider other options than fertility drugs. These include fostering, adoption or hiring a surrogate to help. These are subjects to pursue, first with your husband, then your physician and possibly an attorney who specializes in adoption law. And don’t forget, it isn’t unheard of for some women who adopt to later become pregnant without medical intervention. I wish you luck on whichever path you choose.
DEAR ABBY: My son is getting married for the third time. I paid for half of his first wedding and also gave a generous gift. I gave him a significant cash gift for his second wedding. Do I give him and his new bride yet another cash gift?
They are planning a small wedding overseas, which I won’t be attending. All have been -- or will be -- first weddings for the brides. I don’t want the new bride to feel slighted, but on the other hand, it’s getting really expensive for me. They live a nomadic life, so material gifts would not be appreciated by them. What’s a perplexed mother to do? -- DISGUSTED MOM IN FLORIDA
DEAR MOM: Write them a check and hope the third time is the charm for your nomadic son. Then tell him you’re closing your checkbook.

Two of Australia's largest employers, Telstra and Westpac, are instructing their staff to work from home where possible due to surging Covid case numbers.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters on Tuesday that it's up to businesses to "get the balance right" on working arrangements.
"Businesses will continue to make those decisions. They need to make them on the basis of safety. But also, for some people, we need to recognise that they can't work from home," Albanese said.
Telstra is "strongly encouraging" its staff to work from home if they can, while Westpac said its workers were no longer required to come into the office.

Advertise with NZME."Earlier this year, we introduced a green, amber, red workplace rating system to help manage our workplace amid changing health settings," a Westpac spokesperson said.
"Westpac's workplace setting is currently amber, meaning those employees who can work from home may do so, with no requirement to be in the office."
Both companies said they would help support employees who were unable to work from home through maintaining Covid-safe work practices.
"We have thousands of team members who can't work from home, including many of our retail team members and field technicians who are supporting our customers," Telstra executive Alex Badenoch said.
"We are focused on keeping them safe – including promoting traditional Covid-safe measures and supplying masks and RATs where relevant."
Health experts and leaders have met to discuss the reintroduction of measures to stop the spread and take the pressure of health services.
Australia's Chief medical officer Paul Kelly has "strongly recommended" Australians wear masks when in crowded venues and consider working from home, but has stopped short of formally recommending mask mandates.
But, with the worst of the third Omicron wave of the year still to come, it can't be ruled out.

Advertise with NZME."I've recommended that we need to look at ways of increasing mask use throughout the community, and we have left it there for others to consider the pros and cons of what and how to do that – that's really a matter for others," Professor Kelly told ABC Radio.
"Based on science, we know that masks do work to protect individuals and to decrease transmission to others, that masks should be used in indoor settings where there are other people around.
"That's an important message I think for all leaders to consider their own actions and to see what we can do to influence others.
"Mandates are contentious, as we know. I'm not going to talk to mandates, but my advice is that mask use should increase."
With around 5200 Covid-19 patients in hospital around Australia at the moment, hospitalisations are on track to surpass the January record of 5300.
Royal Australian College of GPs Queensland chair Dr Bruce Willett said there was a high possibility hospitals around the country would crumble under the pressure.

Advertise with NZME.The best way to keep excess pressure off the system, he said, was to work from home if possible, and wear a mask.
"There's a feeling of Covid complacency … And there's a feeling it's inevitable to get Covid. I'm not sure that's true," Dr Willett told NCA NewsWire.
"The risk is if we all get it at once, then the health facilities are very much at the risk of getting overwhelmed.
"The hospital system just may not cope if we don't flatten the curve and get people treatment in a timely manner."
Willett said he was alarmed at the rate at which elective surgeries were again getting cancelled, and said all Australians had a role to play in easing the burden on the system.
"I think working from home is … something that people really should consider if they can," he said.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME."I think it's time for us to come another and support one another and be there for one another."
Infectious disease expert Dr Paul Griffin said by working from home, wearing masks again and getting up-to-date with vaccinations Australia could "get the upper hand" on the wave of the virus.
"If we continue at this current trajectory, things will escalate," Griffin said.
"When the system gets overwhelmed, we struggle to provide the care for things outside of Covid and to be honest we're getting to the point where we're having to look to defer non-urgent things … which creates a backlog that is very hard to catch up on."
On Tuesday, Health Minister Mark Butler said the Australian government was committed to doing "everything possible" to get Australia through the winter safely and healthily.
He conceded the government was concerned about the rate of hospitalisations, but lamented that the number of ICU admissions was well down on the January rate.

Advertise with NZME."We're all concerned about it – none more so than state health ministers who are responsible for the operation of their hospital systems," he said.

The complainant in his complaint has mentioned in detail, the relation to accused Pandey.

The M25 is closed near Berkshire due to demonstrators from Just Stop Oil on the motorway. The motorway is closed in both directions between Junction 14 and Junction 15.
The Metropolitan Police and National Highways are at the scene. Traffic is queueing and diversion routes are in place due to the protesters, who have described the M25 as 'a site of civil resistance'.
A National Highways spokesperson said: "The M25 in Berkshire is closed in both directions between J14 (for Heathrow Airport) and J15 (for the M4) due to an ongoing Metropolitan Police led incident. National Highways Traffic Officers are providing assistance with traffic management on scene."
Diversion: The following diversion routes are in place
"If this closure impacts on your planned route, please allow extra journey time. Plan ahead, you may wish to re-route or even delay your journey."
Inrix, the traffic data company, said: "M25 in both directions closed long delays, queueing traffic due to demonstration from J14 A3113 Airport Way (Heathrow) to J15 M4 J4B. Congestion to J12 (M3 Interchange) clockwise, back to J16 (M40 interchange) anticlockwise. The road is now closed in both directions."
A spokesperson for Just Stop Oil, who are also protesting elsewhere in the motorway, said: "We ask that no one travels on this motorway from Wednesday to Friday this week as we will be blocking the highway. We fully acknowledge the cost and disruption this will cause to the public and ask that they take their demands for compensation to the government which has caused this unprecedented threat to our lives and liberties.
"We have a clear demand: that the UK government makes a statement that it will immediately halt all future licensing and consents for the exploration, development and production of fossil fuels in the UK. This is the necessary first step to ensuring a liveable future. The UK government’s failure to take that step is a criminal dereliction of its fundamental duty: to protect and safeguard the lives of its citizens."

Missouri regulators had given the green light in 2014 for Trenton to start adding monochloramine to its drinking water to disinfect it without the harmful byproducts of chlorine.
But by 2017, the city noticed something alarming.
Lead levels in drinking water in the northwest Missouri town — population 5,609 — had spiked.
Over the next two years, one-quarter of the homes tested exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency's action level — 15 parts per billion — at least once.
The culprit, city and state officials believe, was the monochloramine. It likely corroded old lead pipes and caused the surge of lead in the drinking water. Because it hadn't detected high levels of lead in years past, Trenton hadn't been required to test for lead at residents' taps since 2014.
Until the city got test results, "we just thought maybe it was kind of like an isolated spot," said Ron Urton, the city administrator and utility director. "And then once we did the test and saw there [were] other elevated places, that's when we started, I think, kind of figuring out what was going on."
The 62 homes Trenton tested during that period have lead pipes, or service lines, running from the water mains, Urton said. But beyond that, very little is known about where lead pipes remain in the system with about 3,000 water meters.
Trenton has managed to get its lead levels back down again by adding a compound that reduces corrosion. But, experts say, the only permanent solution to stop lead from seeping into America's water is to remove the millions of lead pipes that remain 36 years after environmental regulators banned new ones from being installed.
Therein lies the problem.
Trenton — like many other water systems — doesn't know where all of its lead service lines are.
State governments have only a fraction of the picture.
And while President Joe Biden has prioritized removing remaining lead service lines, water utilities aren't required to finish finding them for almost two and a half years.
"One the biggest problems we have is we don't know where these lead pipes are oftentimes," said Marc Edwards, a distinguished professor at Virginia Tech who helped blow the whistle on the lead crisis in Flint, Mich., which began in 2014.
New lead pipes were banned at the federal level in 1986, and states came into compliance in the three years following. Water utilities have never been required to thoroughly inventory their lead pipes before a crisis. And only in rare instances are they required to replace them under the EPA's lead and copper rule.
"A lot of people are flabbergasted that no one's even bothered to try to figure out how many lead service lines there are in their community or in their state," said Erik Olson, a senior strategic director for the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Lead is a dangerous neurotoxin that poisons thousands of kids each year in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. The heavy metal was used for most of the 20th century in pipes, paint, gasoline and other household products.
Since lead was phased out of gasoline and prohibited from new lead pipes and paint, lead poisoning among children has plummeted. But the U.S. has not historically mandated widespread eradication of lead paint and pipes, so the danger remains, especially in the homes of poor and minority families.
Water is estimated to make up about 20% of a child's lead exposure, according to the EPA. Fetuses and bottle-fed infants are at greatest risk for exposure to lead-tainted water, Edwards said. For toddlers and children, lead paint and dust is the leading cause of exposure.
Not every American with a lead service line is continuously drinking high levels of lead. Utilities use treatments, like orthophosphate, to keep water from corroding the lead pipes and draw out the toxic metal.
But changes in the water chemistry, like that in Trenton, or construction that shakes up a lead pipe can suddenly cause a problem, Edwards said.
"Those pipes are a time bomb," he said. "They could go off at any time."
Undetected lead
Monochloramine is used to disinfect drinking water as it travels through pipes, and it has fewer potentially harmful byproducts than chlorine, its predecessor.
But while chlorine keeps lead service lines from leaching, monochloramine does the opposite, Edwards said. It's corrosive and can cause lead to enter the water as it travels to homes.
Washington, D.C., switched from chlorine to monochloramine in 2000, and the number of babies with elevated blood lead levels rose nearly tenfold, according to a study Edwards published in Environmental Science and Technology. In a separate study, he estimated that fetal deaths rose between 32% and 63%.
After that disaster, utilities should have understood they need to control for corrosion when making such a switch, Edwards said, but "we don't learn from our mistakes."
"You can't just switch it and do this toxicological experiment on the general population and wait and see," Edwards said.
Every year he sees a handful of utilities switch to monochloramine and spark a lead problem, Edwards said, which he thinks is the "tip of the iceberg."
"This is still happening when it shouldn't," Edwards said.
In a statement, Brian Quinn, a spokesman for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, said the state has not typically seen issues arise when utilities switch from chlorine to chloramine. But a staffer attended an EPA training in 2017 where the Washington, D.C., case was presented. Now, the state requires increased monitoring for any systems that change the source or treatment of their water.
Mona Hanna-Attisha, a pediatrician whose research helped expose the Flint water crisis, said situations like Trenton underscore the importance of removing lead service lines, even if they're not causing a known problem today.
"Flint's water crisis wasn't the first, it wasn't the worst and it wasn't the last," she said. "These kinds of things continue to happen unseen throughout the country."
It's difficult, though, to say how significantly the spike in leaded water might have affected the children of Trenton because the population is so small.
In each of the two years before Trenton made the switch to monochloramine, fewer than five children in the ZIP code spanning the town had blood lead levels above 5 micrograms per deciliter, which, at the time, was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's reference value.
When the number of tests is that low, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services withholds data to avoid identifying children. So the exact number of children found to be lead poisoned in those years is not publicly known.
In 2014, it climbed to eight — then 13 in 2015 and 20 in 2016.
In 2017, it fell to eight and then to five or fewer starting in 2018.
Edwards said when monochloramine is added to water, the most severe lead leaching happens in the year or two that follow. That means Trenton wasn't testing its water when it may have had its highest concentrations of lead.
After Trenton discovered the lead in its water, it treated it to stop the corrosion and its lead levels fell back below the EPA limits.
Where are the pipes?
Missouri is expected to receive $250 million over the next five years for lead service line replacement. Kansas will get $164 million, Nebraska will receive $142 million and Iowa will get $225 million.
But first, utilities have to identify where they are.
Data collected by Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska under America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 reflects almost 194,000 service lines made from lead or using lead connectors across the four states. But only a fraction of utilities were required to complete those surveys.
A study based on two voluntary industry surveys from 2011 and 2013 estimates those four states have 747,000 lead service lines, some of the most per capita in the country.
"We don't have an estimate or a ballpark, but we do know that we have thousands of them in Iowa," said Mark Moeller, supervisor of the water supply engineering section with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Jeff Pinson, inorganics unit monitoring chief for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, said utilities know quite a bit about the remaining lead service lines. But he said the state doesn't know how many there are.
Until the inventory gets underway, it's hard to say how many lead service lines might be remaining in Nebraska, said Jessica Johnson, an environmental specialist with the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy who implements the Safe Drinking Water Act in the state.
"I would say until the ink is dry and they're submitted, I wouldn't want to make any guesses or anything like that," she said.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said it received materials evaluations, used to determine testing sites, starting in 2017. It used those to fill out the surveys under the 2019 law.
"It will be a very big challenge for water systems and KDHE to complete the inventories by the deadline," Matthew Lara, the agency's spokesman, said in an email.
The data collected under the 2018 law shows huge numbers of lead service lines in St. Louis — about 50% of the city's 127,402 hookups. That's an estimate because St. Louis doesn't know where the lines are, either.
Des Moines, Iowa, reported about 20,500 lead service lines in the same survey.
In Omaha, Neb., and surrounding areas, about 12,500 customers of Metropolitan Utilities District get their water through lead service lines, the utility says. Another 26,000 are unknown, and the utility estimates about 5,000 or fewer could be lead.
Lincoln, Neb., estimated about 2,200 lead pipes and 3,400 non-lead pipes that have lead connectors after the 2018 law. The utility says it doesn't know where they all are and there could be more. It hired a national firm to assist in its inventory.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, officials say they are "working toward a precise understanding" of where their lead lines are located. It doesn't have precise data, but estimates 7,000 or fewer of its approximately 54,000 service lines are made of lead.
Kansas City, Mo., says there are no more known lead pipes that it's responsible for, but says it doesn't know what materials are on the customer-owned end of the line.
Charlie Stevens, utility operations officer for KC Water, said the city's only information on remaining lead service lines is a list of 128 remaining pipes from the 1980s. The utility believes those pipes have been removed, Stevens said. But the only information confirming that is "hearsay," he said, from a former lab manager for the utility.
KC Water said it has 159,804 service lines without lead and 16,050 of unknown materials.
Stevens said Kansas City only does work on its portion of the service line, from the water main to the curb. That means it may have replaced portions of lead service lines and left the remainder in the ground.
Experts, including an EPA advisory board, say replacing part of a lead service line does not reliably reduce lead levels in drinking water — and may even worsen contamination in the short-term because sawing off and shaking the pipe can release more of the metal.
Asked if that was an issue Kansas City has ever experienced or been concerned about, Stevens said no.
Many utilities claim responsibility for the portion of the service line running from a water main to the property line or curb stop. They say the customer is responsible for the rest.
That's the policy in Trenton.
"There's a little bit of responsibility on the property owners, I think, too," said Urton, the city administrator.
Olson disputes that.
"In so many locations across the country, the water utilities say, 'We don't own all of the service line,' or, 'We only own a little part of it, and the homeowner is responsible for the rest,'" Olson said. "And in so many cases that is not at all clear legally."
A new EPA rule requiring utilities to inventory their lead service line says they have to account for the whole thing.
Utilities on both sides of the state line in Kansas City say they have no lead service lines on their end — but they can't account for the customer portion of the line.
WaterOne serves most of Johnson County, Kansas, in suburban Kansas City. It says it has no lead in its distribution system and sent comments to EPA opposing the requirement to inventory lead service lines.
"The requirement of a lead service line inventory puts WaterOne in the complex situation of proving a negative of what we already know to be true — the absence of lead in (the) utility-owned side of the water supply system," the utility's letter says.
Cities and states are still waiting for more guidance from the EPA to give water utilities best practices for locating lead pipes.
'Underground poisonous straws'
Tallying the toll of lead-contaminated water on a community is difficult, said Bruce Lanphear, a lead researcher and professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada.
At levels like those measured in Trenton, the impact isn't immediately obvious.
"Because people don't keel over immediately, we don't treat it as an urgent problem," Lanphear said.
At a population level, he said, a pregnant woman being exposed to high levels of lead might increase the chance of a pre-term birth or miscarriage.
"But for preterm birth, we don't see lead. We just say it just happens," Lanphear said. "So, that's the dilemma is that it's insidious."
Beyond that, Edwards said screening programs aren't designed to target children who are most at risk of exposure to lead-contaminated water.
Monitoring programs typically target toddlers, who are at risk of exposure to lead paint because they're crawling and putting things in their mouth. But fetuses and infants using formula are at the greatest risk when it comes to lead in water.
Edwards said health departments are prone to assuming the water is not a risk because the utility should be monitoring for lead.
"And so no one is testing the age group most likely to show the health harm," he said.
Lanphear said it's frustrating, but not surprising, that state governments don't have a handle on where the lead pipes remain.
"We really, in so many ways, ignored the most basic public health infrastructure," Lanphear said, while emphasizing expensive cures and profitable technological advancements.
"We've neglected things that are basic to health, like clean water, clean air, food that's not contaminated by lead and other chemicals."
Situations like that in Trenton, Hanna-Attisha said, are a wakeup call that "we fail to listen to science, that we fail to protect children." She said it's a reminder that the Biden administration's infrastructure package is important to find these "underground poisonous straws."
"We continue to dull the potential of so many children by not addressing this issue," she said.
But she said there's hope now.
"The infrastructure act is the largest federal investment in water infrastructure," she said, "the largest federal investment in lead in water elimination ever. It's not all the money, but it's a lot of money that will finally, hopefully kind of address this long-standing issue."

BEIJING, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "To both the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains you can see lush pasture; The Gobi Desert has been turned into fertile fields with melted snow irrigating farms..." The lyrics of the popular folk song named "Xinjiang Is a Wonderful Place" offer a true picture of China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The Tianshan Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles across China's northwestern frontier, divides Xinjiang in half. Chinese President Xi Jinping has always held great affection for the Tianshan Mountains as well as Xinjiang. During his recent visit, Xi witnessed both the peace and stability of Xinjiang's society and the prosperity resulting from its flourishing economy, on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains.
President Xi visited Xinjiang between July 12 and 15. He inspected nine places in three cities and attended a debriefing session and seven meetings. The president's high expectations were clearly shown by his packed schedule and the vigor and intensity of discussions he attended.
From a remote corner to a core hub
Xinjiang, the relatively enclosed hinterland, now plays a vital role in the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with the foreign trade value reaching over 67.4 billion yuan ($9.99 billion) in the first five months of this year, up 30.9 percent year on year.
Containing the Urumqi China-Europe Railway Express Hub and a comprehensive bonded zone, the Urumqi International Land Port area is a landmark project in the construction of the BRI in the region.
Since its construction in 2015, the land port area has drawn over 30 billion yuan (about $4.44 billion) in investment and attracted more than 340 enterprises. A cross-border e-commerce project has also been implemented.
By June 2022, the land port area had operated more than 5,900 China-Europe freight train trips via 21 routes linking 26 cities in 19 European and Asian countries and regions. The trains carry over 200 categories of goods, ranging from daily necessities and garments to mechanical equipment and building materials.
"With Belt and Road cooperation advancing, Xinjiang is no longer a remote corner but a core area and a hub," Xi said while visiting the Urumqi International Land Port area.
A new vision
Accounting for one-sixth of China's land territory, Xinjiang is home to 13 ethnic groups, six major religions and more than 25 million people. It has always been a region with strategic value.
"On our journey in the new era, we will endeavor to build Xinjiang into a beautiful place that is united, harmonious, and prosperous, with an advanced culture, a happy life for all and sound ecological environment," Xi noted in the tour, calling for striking a proper balance between economic and social development and eco-environmental protection.
The region has seen a robust ecological development from 2010 to 2019, with a net increase of over 113 million mu (around 7.53 million hectares) of ecologically functional land as the latest land and resource survey of Xinjiang showed.
By 2019, the region had registered over 183 million mu (around 12.2 million hectares) of forests, 780 million mu (about 52 million hectares) of grasslands, 22.87 million mu (about 1.52 million hectares) of wetlands, and 33.18 million mu (about 2.21 million hectares) of rivers and lakes.
Xinjiang has planned to establish Kalamaili National Park and Kunlun Mountains National Park, the first of their kind in the region, to protect endangered species and local ecosystems.
According to the local government, it has set the region's average annual GDP growth target for above 6 percent during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25) and planned to create an average of 460,000 new urban jobs each year and bring the urban unemployment rate under 5.5 percent.

The mother of a severely autistic child begged for police protection just days before she was doused with alcohol and lit on fire, reportedly by a group headed by her ex.
Luz Raquel Padilla died from her injuries after the attack close to her home in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico, on July 16.
Reports suggest that the attack may even have came about from the noise her disabled son made. Other reports suggested she feuded with her neighbours because of loud music that distressed her son.

The young mum received death threats on several occasions, and just days before she was set upon by her cold-blooded killers, a warning was sprayed on the common area walls of her apartment complex.
"I'm going to burn you alive," read the chilling threat in Spanish, but despite this the authorities took no action.
Officials deemed the "threats from third parties" not enough for Luz to be enrolled in a special protection program.
"You're going to die machorra (tomboy)" and "You're going to die Luz" were also daubed on the walls, with the concerned mum taking to social media to denounce the people that were threatening her.
One of the messages Luz shared online read: “Even when am I going to have to live in fear that something could happen to my family and my aggressor is still wandering around the city with the danger of continuing to do harm."
To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.
Excelsior, a Mexican newspaper, cited social media posts when they reported that Luz's main attacker was her ex partner, who also died because of the attack.
Other Mexican media reported that she had recently survived an attack with industrial chlorine.
The mum reportedly filed the complaint with the Zapopan police station, but there was no response.
Luz Raquel was the mother and caregiver of an 11-year-old boy, diagnosed with severe autism dependent on 24/7 care.
"Luz Raquel received constant death threats at her home against her and her son because of intolerance to the noises her son made in moments of crisis," wrote an autism charity on their Facebook page.
Police have made no arrests yet, reports in Mexico state.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday adjourned hearing on the plea of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) seeking to amend its constitution with regard to the tenure of its office bearers including President Sourav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah.
A bench comprising Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli deferred till Thursday the matter after senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for the BCCI, sought adjournment.
The counsel for the Bihar Cricket Association said that office bearers are continuing in office after their terms have ended technically.
"Tomorrow! one day nothing will happen! What is the hurry? the bench said.
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy also appeared in the matter seeking to implead himself.
Earlier, the bench had agreed to list the plea of BCCI for urgent hearing.
The cricket body seeks to amend its constitution with regard to the tenure of its office bearers.
Senior advocate PS Patwalia, appearing for the BCCI, had said that their application was filed two years ago and direction was given by the court to list the matter after two weeks.
"But then Covid happened and matter could not be listed. Please list this matter for urgent hearing because amendments to the constitution are in pipeline for two years now," he had said.
Patwalia had said the earlier order of the court says that amendment to the constitution can only be done with prior permission of the court.
Earlier, the Justice RM Lodha led committee had recommended reforms in the BCCI which have been accepted by the top court.
According to the recommendations, there should be a three-year cooling off period for the office bearers of the BCCI after a tenure of six years once a post comes to an end at the state cricket association or at the BCCI level.
The BCCI, in its proposed amendment, has sought abolition of cooling off period for its office bearers which would enable BCCI president Ganguly and secretary Shah to continue in office despite them having completed six years at respective state cricket associations.
The constitution of the BCCI, which has been approved by the top court stipulates, a mandatory three-year cooling off period for anyone who had served two consecutive terms of three years each in state cricket association or in BCCI.
While Ganguly was an office bearer in the Cricket Association of Bengal, Shah had served in the Gujarat Cricket Association.

Govt setting up Thunderstorm Testbed site over East India for in-depth study: Dr Jitendra Singh
Currently, radio sounding is the method in practice to measure vertical profile of physical properties of the upper air atmosphere and this is done by launching a transmitter interfaced with sensors aloft a weather balloon.

- India
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; Minister of State (Independent Charge) Earth Sciences; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh today said, India Meteorological Department (IMD) is exploring the possibilities to deploy drones to gather atmospheric data from various locations, in place of weather balloons.
In a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Dr Jitendra Singh informed that an inter-departmental committee has been constituted by IMD to conduct studies in this regard. In order to explore the technical feasibility of upper air boundary level data sensing, an invitation to industry and academia to demonstrate experimental drone-based radio-sounding on No Cost No Commitment (NCNC) basis has been released by Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) and it is available on MoES and IMD websites. The last date for the submission of proposal was 16th of July, 2022.
The Minister also informed that Ministry of Earth Sciences is setting up a Thunderstorm Testbed site over East India for in-depth study of thunderstorms over the region. As a part of this project, the Ministry proposes to purchase two drones for monitoring weather parameters of the atmospheric boundary layer prior to occurrence of thunderstorms and also for post event monitoring of damages.
Currently, radio sounding is the method in practice to measure vertical profile of physical properties of the upper air atmosphere and this is done by launching a transmitter interfaced with sensors aloft a weather balloon. Although weather balloons are widespread in use since long, it poses a limitation to successful recovery of the sensor and also limits the use of more sophisticated and widespread sensors due to underlying implicit cost involved. With the advent and sophistication in the unmanned aerial systems commonly known as drones, IMD is exploring the possibility to replace balloons with drones in gathering upper air observations. This new technology is expected to make the sensors recoverable and reusable thus likely to benefit IMD.
Upper air observations are a part of initial conditions for the weather forecast models. This new technology if found technically feasible through contemplated experimentation is expected to benefit IMD in the field of weather forecasting by providing high resolution upper air data from unexplored and remote areas along with the data from existing observatory networks.

‘When you're insulted as a Dalit…': Akhilesh Yadav on UP BJP minister's resignation
Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday threw his weight behind Dinesh Khatik, an MLA of Uttar Pradesh's ruling BJP, who resigned from the state council of ministers as, according to Khatik, officials in his own ministry were ignoring him as he was a Dalit.

“Where you are not respected as a minister but insulted because you're a Dalit, resigning from such a discriminatory BJP government is the only way to maintain the dignity of your society,” the former UP chief minister tweeted in Hindi.
“Sometimes, the bulldozer moves in the reverse direction too,” Yadav added, taking a jibe at the Yogi Adityanath-led government's policy of demolishing properties of those accused of illegal and criminal activities.
In another tweet, the 49-year-old leader described as ‘chronology of corruption and misgovernance’, the ongoing events in three ministries of the UP government: PWD, health and Jal Shakti. “People are asking, UP's BJP government should reply honestly, whose turn is next?” he asked.
Besides the Jal Shakti ministry, where Khatik was a Minister of State under UP BJP state chief Swatantra Dev Singh, there are reports that deputy CM Brajesh Pathak – who also hold the health portfolio – and PWD minister Jitin Prasada are upset as well.
Meanwhile, Khatik, the legislator from the Hastinapur constituency, sent his resignation letter to Union home minister and senior party leader Amit Shah, instead of CM Adityanath. The Yogi government is yet to accept the resignation.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong’s annual book fair kicked off Wednesday, with several publishers of political books prevented from taking part in the fair and others saying they had to be cautious about what they exhibited. The fair’s main organizer, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, said it did not screen the books for sale at the fair. But Hong Kong authorities have tightened controls on freedom of expression and arrested dozens of pro-democracy activists after a tough national security law took effect in 2020, and the council stressed that exhibitors must abide by the law. Independent publisher Hillway Culture, which publishes books on Hong Kong and political events, was among those not allowed to participate. Another publisher, One of a Kind, which has published several books about 2019 protests in the city, was another. Publishers are having a tough time given the impact of the pandemic on the city’s economy and concerns over censorship and rejection of independent publishers, said Kaying Wong, a guest curator at The House of Hong Kong Literature, the city’s largest literary organization.

Books like Where the Dead Sit Talking by Brandon Hobson, From the Hilltop by Toni Jensen and, perhaps most famously, There There, a 2019 bestseller by Tommy Orange, whom The New York Times described as “part of a new generation of acclaimed indigenous writers” were heralded for “shattering old tropes and stereotypes about Native American literature, experience and identity.”
Leonardo da Vinci’s notes on human anatomy remained largely forgotten until the mid-18th century when the Scottish anatomist William Hunter learned of them in the royal collection. A new exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland, called Anatomy: A Matter of Death and Life, brings some of these drawings together with a variety of objects and artwork from the Scottish Enlightenment to illuminate the frequently tense relationship between the furthering of anatomical knowledge, and the need of early anatomists to procure dead bodies. Leonardo got around the problem by working with elite patrons and by assisting an academic professor of anatomy; later Dutch and Scottish anatomists often had to pull bodies from gibbets and graveyards. Modern medicine, the art of postponing death, is built on a foundation of this grave robbery, but had its origins in a more collaborative, consensual attitude typified by Leonardo. It’s an approach that has now returned: the exhibition closes with a moving series of videos from Edinburgh’s current professor of anatomy, a medical student and a member of the public, each explaining the vital role of bequests by people who leave their body to medical science.

Blaming debt crisis on Chinese projects a naysayers’ excuse to bash China: Sri Lankan Ambassador
by Lin Xiaoyi and Li Xuanmin
The intertwined resonance of economic hardship, political turmoil and social crisis has brought Sri Lanka's national governance to the brink of paralysis, with an uncertain start for the new government. However, the international community's concerns about the knock-on effects of the collapse of the country are accompanied by some countries' distorted incitements of ill-timed attempts at geopolitical game playing and the unfounded questioning by some media outlets of China's role.
Responding to speculation, in an exclusive interview with the Global Times reporters Lin Xiaoyi and Li Xuanmin (GT), Palitha Kohona (Kohona), Sri Lanka's Ambassador to China, emphasized his confidence that bilateral relations between China and Sri Lanka would not be affected by a change in government.
In contrast to the fact that Sri Lanka had not reached any initial agreements with its largest creditors such as the IMF, the ambassador noted that China's practical humanitarian assistance has been "very helpful."
The ambassador also refuted some media outlets' assertion that India is rushing to help Sri Lanka while China has turned its back. "We have never had any doubts about China's friendship."
GT: What is the current situation in Sri Lanka?
Kohona: There have been large scale protests against the government. Currently, Sri Lanka doesn't have sufficient cooking gas, fertilizer, fuel, diesel, medicine, and even food stocks, which poses a huge challenge to Sri Lankans' basic household cooking, transportation, medical needs, and preparation for the upcoming cultivation season. The resulting unhappiness, and resentment, and pain, caused many people in Sri Lanka to take to the streets in protest. After almost three months, their demonstrations culminated in the resignation of the prime minister, almost the entire cabinet, and now the President.
We have a very difficult situation in Sri Lanka with an interim president and a high degree of constitutional uncertainty. Under the constitution, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has assumed the role of acting president at present. There are protests even against him. So I don't know what the outcome will be. This is very unsatisfactory. The leadership of the country is being challenged.
In the next few days or weeks, parliament is scheduled to meet. We are hoping that constitutional provisions will be followed as elections have to be held within a specified period to elect a new president.
GT: What are your expectations for the future direction of China-Sri Lanka relations after the new president takes office?
Kohona: Whoever takes over the government after an election will continue to maintain the confidence of the Chinese government as well as the goodwill of the Chinese people. There's good understanding between the leadership of the two countries. The relationship between China and Sri Lanka is based on a very solid foundation. We have developed a strategic cooperative partnership and China is our biggest trading partner and the major investor. Hopefully the new government will adhere to these fundamentals and maintain the relationship as it is now.
GT: China has aided Sri Lanka in times of need. What is your assessment of the significance of China's assistance to Sri Lanka?
Kohona: Sri Lanka desperately needs help now. China has announced an emergency humanitarian aid package worth 500 million yuan ($74 million) to Sri Lanka. China offered to provide us with fuel, fertilizer, and food. Medicine has also already been delivered. The food continues to be delivered, including rice. It's significant that China is giving us rice at this stage because our relationship in the early 1950s was consolidated on the basis of an agreement under which China gave us rice and we provided rubber to China.
I have noticed that about 60 million Chinese people viewed the reporting on Sri Lanka in the last few weeks on social media platforms. That is almost three times the population of Sri Lanka. That shows that there is considerable interest in Sri Lanka among the Chinese, and I hope that this interest converts into tangible results. China is the most lucrative consumer market in the world, and more exports to China could contribute more to our sustainable recovery. I also hope the Chinese who are looking at the images coming out of Sri Lanka will be encouraged to drink more Sri Lankan tea, and buy Sri Lankan products, that will help us much more in the medium term than the loans that we succeed in acquiring.
GT: There have been media outlets claiming that India is rushing to help Sri Lanka while China has turned its back on the country. What's your comment on such allegation?
Kohona: I think it's unfair to say that India did better than China, or that India did a lot more in the immediate term. India has definitely come forward and helped, for which we deeply appreciate. But China has also been very helpful. We are in discussion with the Chinese authorities for an additional aid package.
I don't believe that there is a competitive relationship between China and India with regard to Sri Lanka. China has been a very close friend, especially in the recent past. China stood by Sri Lanka during our war with terrorism and separatism, and supported us in the international arena. We have never had any doubts about China's friendship.
GT: Some foreign media outlets have related the crisis faced by Sri Lanka to China-funded infrastructure investment, and hyped how those investments would pull more emerging economies into "debt crisis." What is your view on the alleged "debt trap?"
Kohona: China has funded some large-scale projects in Sri Lanka, like the Colombo Port City and the Hambantota harbor and industrial zone. We haven't heard many voices being raised within the country against those projects. Critics from the outside have said our debt problem has been accentuated by these Chinese-funded projects. That's just convenient propaganda. We need to carefully separate fact from simple propaganda. Some foreign media outlets hype the so-called "debt trap." It is a simple case of looking for any opportunity to be critical of China.
Many Western media outlets also called the Hambantota Port a "debt trap" project. This is a gross exaggeration. The funding received from the Chinese lessee of the port was not used to repay the China loans, but was used to repay other loans from other lenders who are not Chinese. I don't think there is much fact behind that "debt trap" allegation. Another thing to remember is that we now find a large number of ships actually using the port. There are ships that dock at Hambantota Port for bunkering purposes, and business is growing rapidly. No big project of this nature returns a profit within two or three years. Some of them take many years to return a profit. The international business community has to get used to the idea that there is a harbor here, which can be used commercially.
GT: Under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a number of Chinese companies have investments in Sri Lanka. Has the situation affected their operation? And what is your evaluation of the significance of Chinese investment in Sri Lanka?
Kohona: Currently, there has not been a single incident where overseas Chinese nationals have been affected by the demonstrations. There is no threat to Chinese projects or Chinese employees in Sri Lanka. Normal safety precautions would have been in place of course.
BRI investments will continue to be critical to the Sri Lankan economy after the situation stabilizes. To begin with, that would mean foreign exchange flowing into our country. Secondly, FDI will generate employment. The embassy is encouraging a number of Chinese renewable energy companies to establish themselves in Sri Lanka. We also had an inquiry from a very large steel company to establish a steel-making plant in Hambantota. There are other infrastructure projects which we have planned in Sri Lanka, including a light rail project.
These projects will have an immediate effect on the economy. More foreign exchange will be flowing into the country. More employment will be created. And in the process, the economy will be regenerated.
GT: The current debt crisis in Sri Lanka is the result of a combination of internal and external factors. Do you think that interest rate hikes by the US and other developed economies are also to blame for the crisis?
Kohona: Interest rate hikes do have an impact. There's no doubt about that. In addition to Sri Lanka, there are many other countries, perhaps 37 or 38 in the world, which also need substantial assistance at the moment to manage their finances. There are many other countries which are experiencing stress facing the same problems that Sri Lanka is experiencing. In some countries, we know that petrol is selling at $7.50 a gallon. But in many of these countries, they have the money to buy goods, even at high prices. Our problem is acute. We have run out of foreign exchange, so we just cannot purchase anything.
Earlier, the government of Sri Lanka avoided publicly declaring that we were heading toward bankruptcy, because we did not wish to shake the confidence of international lenders, but after Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe took over, we decided that it was important to be absolutely transparent and let the world know that we were confronting a very difficult situation.
GT: In terms of emergency financial assistance from the IMF, how are the negotiations going?
Kohona: The IMF visited Sri Lanka at the end of June, and we had official-level discussions. And judging by the reports which we have received, the official level discussions were very satisfactory.
There's no initial agreement at the moment as the discussions are only at a preliminary stage. We have appointed a team of legal advisers in London, and a team of expert specialists in debt restructuring. We will have more information once there have been further follow-up meetings. The date of the next meeting has not been fixed because of the turmoil. But once the new government is installed or new authorities take over, this should happen soon.
We are also in discussions with our bilateral partners to see how the funds that have been borrowed or the repayments due can be managed in a way that will enable us to recover sooner rather than later.
GT: Do you have any concerns about terms and conditions attached to IMF's bailout plan?
Kohona: We hope those terms and conditions will not be onerous, because we are not in a position to impose further suffering on our people. I think some of the implications of debt restructuring will be difficult for us. The first recommendations to be made, from past experience, would be to tighten the belt further.
In some cases, it's difficult because the belt is already on the last notch. Sri Lanka has a state-funded healthcare system from birth to death. Some are worried that the IMF might recommend that we tighten the healthcare system. Our education system is also free from grade one to university level. This might be another area that the IMF might recommend pruning. But these may add to the unrest, which is already hampering the recovery of the country and unsettle any government which takes over in the next few weeks. We have to deal with these issues, and it's not going to be easy for Sri Lanka.
GT: What role do you expect the IMF and other international organizations like the World Bank to play in speeding up Sri Lanka's debt restructuring?
Kohona: Sri Lanka's largest creditors are the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank, and there are also institutional investors. We owe a substantial amount to institutional investors from the West. Wall Street, for example, is probably the biggest creditor to Sri Lanka. So we hope that the World Bank will be able to come up with a package that will help us deal with our debt problem. Similarly, with the ADB. In addition, we also encourage our bilateral partners including India, Japan and China to provide more assistance. We need our friends to help us out from our immediate difficulties.
Sri Lanka owes only 10 percent of its debt to China, and not all of it is due immediately. At the moment, only $1 billion is due to China this year. | http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2022/07/sri-lanka-chinese-debt-trap-is-gross.html | 2022-07-20T11:14:46Z | http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2022/07/sri-lanka-chinese-debt-trap-is-gross.html | true | 1 |

Shooting World Cup: India end Changwon campaign with most medals
India finished yet another ISSF Shooting World Cup campaign by topping the medal's tally with a haul of 15 medals, including five gold, six silver and four bronze here on Wednesday.
On the final day of competitions, the Indian trio of Anish Bhanwala, Vijayveer Sidhu and Sameer won the silver in the men’s 25m Rapid Fire Pistol team event.
The Indians were all set to top the podium and, at one point, were leading 10-2 against the quality Czech side of Martin Podhrasky, Tomas Tehan, and Matej Rampula.
But the Indians lost their nerve as they went down 15-17 to settle for second place.
In the skeet mixed team event, the Indian pair of Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Mufaddal Deesawala finished ninth out of 17 teams with a score of 138 out of 150.
India had won all five ISSF World Cup stages in 2019, one in the curtailed 2021 season and yet again this year in the first stage in Cairo.
The next big assignment for the Indian rifle and pistol shooters will be the much-awaited ISSF World Championship scheduled in Cairo in October this year.
A good performance by the Indian shooters at the World Championships means they will have a chance to represent India at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The shotgun squad, on the other hand, will take part at the ISSF Shotgun World Cup, slated to take place in Osijek, Croatia in September. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/sports/others/shooting-world-cup-india-end-changwon-campaign-with-most-medals-101658309769918.html | 2022-07-20T11:17:41Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/sports/others/shooting-world-cup-india-end-changwon-campaign-with-most-medals-101658309769918.html | false | 12 |

The father of feud victim Michael Barr has slammed an upcoming appeal by his killer - as he says his son didn’t get a second chance.
The Star has learned that Kinahan cartel killer David Hunter is appealing his conviction for the feud murder of Michael Barr at the Sunset House pub in Dublin’s North Inner City on the night of April 25, 2016.
British car thief Hunter (43), who was one of the two gunmen who entered the pub on the night of Barr’s murder, is due to have his latest appeal hearing heard in October.

And speaking exclusively to The Star, Colin Barr, the father of the victim, said Hunter’s paymasters at the top of the Kinahan cartel acted like judge and jury when they murdered his son - and he doesn’t get that second chance.
“No trial, no appeal. Just the three-man court of the Kinahans.
“It’s a pity him (Hunter) and his paymasters didn’t give their victims time to appeal the sentence they were given by the ‘Kinahan high court’ in Dubai,” he said.
Mr Barr recently saw further justice for his son when convicted drug dealer Christopher Slator became the fourth person to be convicted over the murder last week.
Slator was nailed after gardai uncovered his DNA on a mask and runner inside the getaway car which was found on fire a short distance from the murder scene.
Similarly his pal Eamon Cumberton was also nailed by a DNA profile on a separate similar mask and baseball cap - with this evidence securing his life sentence in prison.
But now Mr Barr’s family are facing further pain as Hunter is set to challenge his conviction before a three-judge Court of Appeal later this year.
The UK resident, who had an address at Du Cane Road, White City, London, was hired by the Kinahan cartel to carry out the killing in the midst of a bitter gangland feud with the Hutch gang.
The Kinahans mistakenly believed that well-known Republican Michael Barr may have had some role in the infamous murder of their associate David Byrne at Dublin’s Regency Hotel in Feburary of that year.
They then acted on that ill-judged belief by hiring a hit-team to take out Mr Barr in the middle of a busy Dublin pub.
During Hunter’s trial in 2020, the court found there was compelling evidence that he was one of the two gunmen involved in the shooting.
Mr Barr’s sister Noeleen said in her statement that her brother was “brutally taken” from his five children and wider family.
She said that after learning of Mr Barr’s death on social media she was “found in pieces” on the floor and described his death as a “nightmare” for the family and his children.
“How can you measure a life in drugs or money?” she asked.
Meanwhile Martin Aylmer (33), of Casino Park, Marino, Dublin 3, pleaded guilty to involvement in the hit, having admitted to buying six pre-paid mobile phones in the run-up to the murder.
The Special Criminal Court heard that one of the phones was found beside a burned-out car used as the getaway vehicle in Mr Barr’s murder.
Aylmer was captured on CCTV footage buying the phone in Dublin’s Ilac Shopping Centre two days before the shooting.
He told gardaí he believed the phones would be used for drug trafficking.
He pleaded guilty to participating in, or contributing to, activity intending to facilitate the commission of a serious offence by a criminal organisation or any of its members in what was believed to have been the first prosecution of its kind.

- Wishpond expects to achieve record revenue in the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, with annualized revenue run-rate now exceeding $20 million.
- The Company's recent cost saving initiatives and operational efficiencies will result in more than $1.0 million in annual cost savings.
- Wishpond is the recipient of three awards from Gartner recognizing the Company's innovative and easy-to-use marketing technology software products.
VANCOUVER, BC, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Wishpond Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: WISH) (OTCQX: WPNDF) (the "Company" or "Wishpond"), a provider of marketing-focused online business solutions, is pleased to provide a business update for the second quarter of 2022.
Wishpond is expecting Q2-2022 to be the strongest quarter in the Company's history, with revenues exceeding the previous record of $4.7 million achieved in Q4-2021. The Company's growth has not been hindered to date by macroeconomic challenges such as high inflation, increasing interest rates and significant supply chain disruptions affecting other industries around the globe. Wishpond has a diversified customer base of small-medium sized businesses. The demand for the Company's products and services remains robust with organic growth over the past year largely driven by investments in Wishpond's sales and marketing teams.
Wishpond posted higher monthly recurring revenue ("MRR") in each of April, May and June compared to each month in the first quarter of 2022 and the Company continues to experience similar growth thus far in July. Based on last month's revenue in June, Wishpond's annualized revenue run-rate ("ARR") now exceeds $20 million for the first time in the Company's history.
Ali Tajskandar, Wishpond's Chairman and CEO commented, "We are thrilled with our preliminary results for the second quarter of 2022. Our sales pipeline remains robust and our revenue growth shows tremendous resilience despite the uncertain economic environment. The success we are achieving indicates that our products and services are valuable tools for our customers which they need to generate leads and sales, especially when operating in an uncertain business environment. Furthermore, I am happy to note that Wishpond expects to be cash flow positive in the second half of the year as a result of the growth we have experienced as well as the cost saving initiatives that we have implemented."
In addition to the revenue growth, the Company renewed its focus on integrating its acquisitions during the second quarter and implemented a number of cost-saving initiatives and operational efficiencies designed to conserve cash. As a result, the Company expects to realize more than $1.0 million in cost savings over the course of the next twelve months.
"The management team spent a considerable amount of time on operational and efficiency reviews during the quarter and we are very happy with the results of these efforts." said David Pais, Wishpond's CFO. "The Company is committed to a laser focus on realizing cost efficiencies while it keeps one foot on the pedal of its sales generation engine. Our financial success is predicated on doing more with less – we expect to maintain our sales growth even while we run the business cost effectively. We believe that these two objectives are not mutually exclusive."
Wishpond remains on track to implement several planned product and feature enhancements. As part of these enhancements, it recently announced a new market leading website builder product. It also previously announced improvements to its native advertising platform and its new email marketing platform.
Wishpond is also excited to announce three new awards from Gartner, one of the world's most significant platforms for business software reviews and research. Once again, Wishpond has been recognized by Gartner as a leading marketing software solution across various categories.
Wishpond has won the GetApp Category Leaders Award for content marketing - a major achievement. This means Wishpond is one of the most popular and highest-rated content marketing platforms available. Wishpond has also won the Software Advice Front Runners award, and was included in the Capterra shortlist for 2022.
These badges show that Wishpond is a powerful and well-trusted software solution for small businesses. Gartner is a premier company with an excellent reputation for picking winners, and Wishpond's recognition and success on this platform reveals just how much value the software provides its clients.
Wishpond will be having a webinar to provide an update on the business on Thursday, July 21, 2022 at 11:00 am PT (2:00 pm ET). The call will be hosted by: Ali Tajskandar, Chief Executive Officer and David Pais, CFO.

In this press release, Wishpond has used the following terms ("Non-GAAP Financial Measures") that are not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), but are used by management to evaluate the performance of Wishpond and its business: Annualized Revenue Run-Rate ("ARR") and Monthly recurring revenue ("MRR"). These measures may also be used by investors, financial institutions and credit rating agencies to assess Wishpond's performance and ability to service debt. Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Securities regulations require that Non-GAAP Financial Measures are clearly defined, qualified, and reconciled to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP Financial Measures is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts, and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are identified and defined by Wishpond as follows:
- Annualized revenue run-rate: Annualized revenue run rate considers revenue over a number of specified recent months during the year and projects them over a 12-month period to estimate the annual revenues of the company based on recent performance.
- Monthly recurring revenue: Normalized measure of predictable monthly revenue.

Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements in this press release are reasonable and are based on, among other things, the expectations and analysis of current market trends and opportunities of management of the Company and preliminary financial results of the Company, such forward-looking statements has been based on expectations, factors and assumptions concerning future events which may prove to be inaccurate and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company's control, including, but not limited to, economic uncertainty and instability as a result of ongoing refinement and review of the financial statements and operations of the Company, revisions to the financial calculations and results of the Company, changes in the operations of the Company, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war, interest rate hikes instituted by various countries central banks, instability in global commodity and securities markets, shifts in consumer and institutional spending and marketing strategies, the changing global market and competition for the products and services supplied by the Company, and the additional risk factors discussed in the continuous disclosure materials of the Company which are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

A new vaccine employing more traditional technology to fight against COVID was unanimously approved Tuesday by a top scientific panel, clearing one of the final hurdles to become the country’s fourth coronavirus shot.
The advisory panel to the Center for Disease Control approved Novavax for an initial two-shot treatment for those 18 and older — following the endorsement of the Food and Drug Administration last week. Tests have shown that the new shot provides similar protection from severe infection to the cutting-edge mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. Trials are ongoing for Novavax to be used as a booster.
As of Tuesday, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Contra Costa, Alameda and San Francisco counties could not say when the rollout of the new vaccine would begin, but it is likely to be soon. Earlier this month, the Biden Administration announced it was ordering 3.2 million doses of the shot for distribution around the country.
Novavax, a Maryland company, uses a protein rather than mRNA technology — and health officials hope that it will appeal to those who have been hesitant to get vaccinated because the way that it combats the virus has been used for decades in previous vaccines. Some survey data, however, suggest that only a small group of unvaccinated Americans would opt for the new shot. A poll cited during Tuesday’s CDC panel review — albeit with a relatively small sample size of 1,788 people — shows that 77% of Americans who have not received a shot would refuse Novavax.
Some researchers believe that the protein vaccine’s structure may make it more effective against mutations of COVID. In addition, in clinical trials conducted by the vaccine company, those who received Novavax experienced less fatigue compared to the mRNA shots.
The Novavax vaccine provokes an immune response with nanoparticles made up of proteins from the surface of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. That approach can produce a much more versatile immune response, according to Dr. Lee W. Riley, a professor of infectious diseases and vaccinology at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health. Riley said that if the shot is approved as a booster, he would recommend it to those who are at risk for a severe case of COVID.
Public health officials said that because the Bay Area region has such high vaccination rates already, Novavax will likely play a small role in the wider fight against COVID. Nearly 90 percent of all of Santa Clara County’s two million residents are fully vaccinated, for example, a rate that is similar across the Bay Area.
“Hopefully a few remaining (Bay Area) individuals will be encouraged by this new traditional methodology that is not mRNA-based and has been shown to have good efficacy,” said Dr. Jennifer Tong, associate chief medical officer at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. However, if Novavax is eventually approved as a booster, Tong said the county expects much higher demand.
Nationally, up to 13.9 million Americans remain without a shot, according to data provided by the CDC panel on Tuesday. The next step for the vaccine is approval by CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, which is expected happen to happen quickly.
Novavax was part of the initial rush to develop a coronavirus vaccine in 2020 as part of the government’s Operation Warp Speed. But the company has been plagued by manufacturing delays, leading to a slower approval and rollout.
The new shot comes amid COVID cases soaring throughout the Bay Area and state as the new BA.5 omicron variant appears to evade mRNA vaccine protections. Novavax is working on formulations of its new vaccine that may more effectively target omicron.
On Tuesday, every single Bay Area county besides Santa Cruz was in the CDC’s “High” community transmission category. Earlier this month, California at-large surpassed the Bay Area in cases per 100,000 residents.
As case rates have risen, so have hospitalizations, though the uptick is a lot less dramatic when compared to previous COVID waves, which public health officials say can be attributed to high vaccination rates and better access to therapeutics. Data shows that about 5,000 individuals are hospitalized across the state for COVID, which is one-third what the state experienced during this past winter’s omicron wave.
While Los Angeles is set to bring back its mask mandate by the end of the month, not a single Bay Area county currently has such a rule in place, and in some cases, requirements are loosening. On Monday, BART riders could ride mask-free after the transit agency changed its rules for the second time in three months, though the policy may change depending on case rates. | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/07/19/new-covid-vaccine-that-uses-traditional-tech-approved-by-cdc-panel/ | 2022-07-20T11:26:50Z | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/07/19/new-covid-vaccine-that-uses-traditional-tech-approved-by-cdc-panel/ | true | 16 |
Rangers ‘exploring move’ for Turkey international Ridvan Yilmaz as £4m-rated star enters final year of contract
RANGERS are considering a swoop for Turkey international Ridvan Yilmaz, according to a report.
The 21-year old left-back currently plays for Besiktas and has just one year left on his current contract.
According to the Daily Mail, the Light Blues are exploring the possibility of a move for Yilmaz, who has six senior caps for Turkey.
Yilmaz broke into the Besiktas first team in 2019 and made a quick impact.
He was called-up to the Turkey squad at Euro 2020, and played a key role as Besiktas won the Super Lig in 2021.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst is set to lose star defender Calvin Bassey who is expected complete his big money move to Ajax imminently.
The Rangers boss has already added defensive reinforcements with the arrival of £4m centre back Ben Davies from Liverpool.
That deal was completed just last night.
Away from the transfer front, the long-running dispute between Rangers and the BBC is now OVER.
After seven years that saw Beeb journalists not reporting from matches at Ibrox, the broadcaster announced they were anticipating a 'positive ongoing relationship' with the Gers.
The dispute, which has been ongoing in some shape or form for over a decade, has been put to bed by both the broadcaster and the club.
The BBC admitted it failed to meet its editorial standards in some parts of coverage of Rangers, while while the Ibrox club said they accepted the BBC's 'recognition of past errors' and confirmed the organisation's reporters would be back at their stadium this coming season.

'Lifeless' bodies dumped out side Katsina town as terror sweep the Niger north, thousands are traveled and running for the security. More attacks were registered against security forces over Christmas e\nby BOLD WIBA PUBLIC LECTIONAL DEMOCRATHES NOW-AFRO SLAMOCACY\nInnocent and old were reported by Islamo terror swepping and taking peopkles into fear-state after attacks BUFFALO, N.Y., July 20,2022 /PRNewswire/ -- M&T Bank Corporation ("M&T") (NYSE: MTB) today reported its results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
GAAP Results of Operations. Diluted earnings per common share measured in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") were $1.08 in the second quarter of 2022, compared with $3.41 in the year-earlier quarter and $2.62 in the first quarter of 2022. GAAP-basis net income was $218 million in the recent quarter, $458 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $362 million in the first 2022 quarter. GAAP-basis net income in the second quarter of 2022 expressed as an annualized rate of return on average assets and average common shareholders' equity was .42% and 3.21%, respectively, compared with 1.22% and 11.55%, respectively, in the similar 2021 period and .97% and 8.55%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022. M&T's second quarter 2022 results reflect a full-quarter impact of its April 1, 2022 acquisition of People's United Financial, Inc. ("People's United"). However, the results reflect non-operating merger-related expenses associated with the acquisition of $465 million ($346 million after-tax effect, or $1.94 of diluted earnings per common share) in the recent quarter, compared with $4 million ($3 million after-tax effect, or $.02 of diluted earnings per common share) in the year-earlier quarter and $17 million ($13 million after-tax effect, or $.10 of diluted earnings per share) in the initial quarter of 2022.
The closing of the acquisition of People's United resulted in the issuance of 50.3 million common shares. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, People's United shareholders received consideration valued at .118 of an M&T common share in exchange for each common share of People's United. Additionally, People's United outstanding preferred stock was converted into shares of Series H preferred stock of M&T (NYSE: MTBPrH). The fair value of assets acquired in the transaction totaled approximately $64.2 billion, including $35.8 billion of loans and leases, while liabilities assumed were approximately $55.5 billion, including $53.0 billion of deposits. The purchase price totaled approximately $8.4 billion (with the price based on M&T's close price of $164.66 per share as of April 1, 2022). The transaction resulted in approximately $3.9 billion of goodwill recorded on M&T's balance sheet. The company anticipates transferring financial records of People's United to M&T's core operating systems by the end of the third quarter.
Darren J. King, Chief Financial Officer, commented on M&T's results, "We were extremely pleased with the second quarter results and our continued momentum following the acquisition of People's United. Higher average earning assets and the benefits from an increased net interest margin helped drive revenue growth, while expenses remained well controlled. Although financial results for the recent quarter reflect significant merger-related expenses, the acquisition has already had a positive impact on M&T's net operating results. In addition, our capital position remains very strong with an estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.9%."
For the first six-months of 2022, diluted earnings per common share were $3.45, compared with $6.73 in the year-earlier period. GAAP-basis net income was $580 million and $905 million in the first half of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Expressed as an annualized rate of return on average assets and average common shareholders' equity, GAAP-basis net income in the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 was .65% and 5.34%, respectively, compared with 1.22% and 11.56%, respectively, in the similar 2021 period.
Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Results of Operations. M&T consistently provides supplemental reporting of its results on a "net operating" or "tangible" basis, from which M&T excludes the after-tax effect of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets (and the related goodwill and core deposit and other intangible asset balances, net of applicable deferred tax amounts) and expenses associated with merging acquired operations into M&T (when incurred), since such items are considered by management to be "nonoperating" in nature. The amounts of such "nonoperating" expenses are presented in the tables that accompany this release.
Reflected in merger-related expenses in the second quarter of 2022 was a provision for credit losses of $242 million. GAAP requires that acquired loans be recorded at estimated fair value, which includes the use of interest rate and expected credit loss assumptions to forecast estimated cash flows. GAAP also provides that an allowance for credit losses on loans acquired, but not classified as purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") also be recognized. Accordingly, M&T recorded a $242 million provision related to such loans obtained in the People's United acquisition. Given the requirement to recognize such losses above and beyond the impact of forecasted losses used in determining the fair value of acquired loans, M&T considers that provision to be a merger-related expense. Other merger-related expenses generally consist of professional services and other temporary help fees associated with actual or planned conversions of systems and/or integration of operations, costs related to terminations of existing contractual arrangements to purchase various services, severance and travel costs. Although "net operating income" as defined by M&T is not a GAAP measure, M&T's management believes that this information helps investors understand the effect of acquisition activity in reported results.
Diluted net operating earnings per common share were $3.10 in the second quarter of 2022, compared with $3.45 in the year-earlier quarter and $2.73 in the first quarter of 2022. Net operating income aggregated $578 million in the recent quarter, $463 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $376 million in 2022's first quarter. Expressed as an annualized rate of return on average tangible assets and average tangible common shareholders' equity, net operating income in the second quarter of 2022 was 1.16% and 14.41%, respectively, 1.27% and 16.68%, respectively, in the similar quarter of 2021 and 1.04% and 12.44%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022.
Diluted net operating earnings per common share in the first six months of 2022 totaled $5.88, compared with $6.84 in the similar 2021 period. Net operating income during the first half of 2022 was $954 million, up from $920 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. Net operating income expressed as an annualized rate of return on average tangible assets and average tangible common shareholders' equity was 1.11% and 13.57%, respectively, in the initial six months of 2022, compared with 1.28% and 16.86%, respectively, in the similar 2021 period.
Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income. Net interest income expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis totaled $1.42 billion in the recent quarter, compared with $946 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $907 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase compared with the earlier quarters reflects a higher net interest margin and the impact of earning assets obtained in the acquisition of People's United that totaled approximately $56.6 billion on April 1, 2022. Average earning assets rose to $189.8 billion in the recent quarter, 39% above the $136.9 billion average in the second quarter of 2021 and 37% higher than $138.6 billion in 2022's first quarter. Average loans outstanding were $127.6 billion in the second quarter of 2022, compared with $98.6 billion in the year earlier quarter and $92.2 billion in the first quarter of 2022. Reflecting the impact of rising interest rates, the net interest margin increased to 3.01% in the second quarter of 2022, up from 2.77% in the corresponding quarter of 2021 and 2.65% in the first quarter of 2022.
Provision for Credit Losses/Asset Quality. The provision for credit losses was $302 million in the second quarter of 2022. As already noted, included in that amount was a $242 million provision, recorded in accordance with GAAP, related to loans obtained in the People's United acquisition that were considered non-PCD. GAAP provides that an allowance for credit losses on such loans be recorded beyond the recognition of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date. In addition to that merger-related provision, M&T recorded a provision for credit losses of $60 million in the recent quarter. A $10 million provision was recorded in the initial quarter of 2022 and a $15 million provision recovery in the second quarter of 2021. Net loan charge-offs were $50 million in the second quarter of 2022, $46 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $7 million in 2022's first quarter. Expressed as an annualized percentage of average loans outstanding, net charge-offs were .16% and .19% in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and .03% in the first quarter of 2022.
Loans classified as nonaccrual totaled $2.63 billion at June 30, 2022, up from $2.24 billion at June 30, 2021 and $2.13 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase in the balance of nonaccrual loans resulted from loans obtained in the acquisition of People's United. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans declined to 2.05% at the recent quarter-end from 2.31% a year earlier and 2.32% at March 31, 2022. Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans were $29 million at June 30, 2022, $28 million a year earlier and $24 million at March 31, 2022.
Allowance for Credit Losses. M&T regularly performs comprehensive analyses of its loan portfolios and assesses forecasted economic conditions for purposes of determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. As a result of those procedures, the allowance for credit losses totaled $1.82 billion or 1.42% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2022. The acquisition of People's United loans and leases resulted in a $341 million increase in the allowance for credit losses as of April 1, 2022, including $99 million related to PCD loans and $242 million related to non-PCD loans. Including the impact of the acquisition, M&T's allowance for credit losses was $1.81 billion on April 1, 2022, or 1.42% of then outstanding loans. The allowance for credit losses was $1.58 billion or 1.62% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2021 and $1.47 billion or 1.60% at March 31, 2022.
Noninterest Income and Expense. Noninterest income totaled $571 million in the second quarter of 2022, up from $514 million in the year-earlier quarter. People's United-related revenues in the recent quarter added approximately $79 million to noninterest income, including $33 million in service charges on deposit accounts and $14 million in trust income. Excluding People's United-related revenues, the lower level of noninterest income in the most recent quarter as compared with the second quarter of 2021 reflects decreased mortgage banking revenues impacted by M&T's decision to retain recently originated mortgage loans in portfolio rather than sell such loans while still selling select lower-yielding mortgage loans, partially offset by higher trust income and brokerage services income. Noninterest income was $541 million in this year's first quarter. The comparative decline in the recent quarter, excluding People's United-related revenues, was predominantly the result of decreased mortgage banking revenues and receipt of a $30 million distribution resulting from M&T's investment in Bayview Lending Group in 2022's initial quarter, whereas no similar distribution was received in the recent quarter. Those declines were partially offset by higher trust income and increased merchant discount and credit card fees included in other revenues from operations.
Noninterest expense totaled $1.40 billion in the second quarter of 2022, compared with $865 million in the similar quarter of 2021 and $960 million in the first quarter of 2022. Excluding expenses considered to be nonoperating in nature, such as amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets and merger-related expenses, noninterest operating expenses were $1.16 billion in the recent quarter, $859 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $941 million in 2022's first quarter. The most significant factor for the higher level of operating expenses in the recent quarter was the impact of operations obtained in the People's United acquisition.
The efficiency ratio, or noninterest operating expenses divided by the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income (exclusive of gains and losses from bank investment securities), measures the relationship of operating expenses to revenues. M&T's efficiency ratio was 58.3% in the second quarter of 2022, 58.4% in the year-earlier quarter and 64.9% in the first quarter of 2022. The higher ratio in 2022's first quarter reflects seasonally higher salaries and employee benefits expenses in that quarter.
Balance Sheet. M&T had total assets of $204.0 billion at June 30, 2022, compared with $150.6 billion and $149.9 billion at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Loans and leases, net of unearned discount, were $128.5 billion at June 30, 2022, compared with $97.1 billion at June 30, 2021 and $91.8 billion at March 31, 2022. The higher level of loans and leases at the recent quarter-end as compared with the earlier dates noted is largely a reflection of balances associated with the acquisition of People's United. Also reflective of that acquisition, total deposits rose to $170.4 billion at the recent quarter-end, compared with $128.3 billion a year earlier and $126.3 billion at March 31, 2022.
Total shareholders' equity was $25.8 billion or 12.64% of total assets at June 30, 2022, $16.7 billion or 11.10% at June 30, 2021 and $17.9 billion or 11.93% at March 31, 2022. Common shareholders' equity was $23.8 billion, or $135.16 per share, at June 30, 2022, compared with $15.5 billion, or $120.22 per share, a year-earlier and $16.1 billion, or $124.93 per share, at March 31, 2022. Tangible equity per common share was $85.78 at June 30, 2022, $84.47 at June 30, 2021 and $89.33 at March 31, 2022. In the calculation of tangible equity per common share, common shareholders' equity is reduced by the carrying values of goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets, net of applicable deferred tax balances. M&T estimates that the ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets under regulatory capital rules was approximately 10.9% at June 30, 2022, compared with 11.7% three months earlier and 10.7% at June 30, 2021.
In accordance with its capital plan, M&T repurchased 3,505,946 shares of its common stock during the recent quarter at an average cost per share of $171.14 resulting in a total cost of $600 million.

New Reports from Horizon Media Indicate Consumers are Suffering Transformative Social and Economic Woes
NEW YORK, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Financial and social uncertainty—sparked by raging inflation, soaring housing prices, the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine—have become a reality for a majority of Americans and are expected to remain for some time, according to new studies by Horizon Media. What does this mean for marketers? They will need to respond quickly if they intend to not only stay relevant but ultimately survive in this change-is-the-new-constant environment.
The reports, Inflation Nation: The Status of The American Dream and How Brands Can Help, and Guidelines for Brands in Uncertain Times: Understanding the Psychology of Uncertainty and Loss, indicate that a new American Dream is emerging in which younger generations are reexamining their priorities and questioning traditional definitions of success. Economically, the average American consumer is now facing what the reports call "wallet lockdown" and are increasingly forced to sacrifice "wants" in order to ensure they can take care of their "needs."
"Millennials are increasingly coping with the notion that they will be the first generation who will not do better than their parents," said Maxine Gurevich, SVP, Cultural Intelligence of Horizon Media's WHY Group. "A revised American Dream has emerged on social media, one that deglamorizes the hustle to get ahead financially in favor of a simpler life."
The Horizon reports discuss this new mindset among American consumers and offer extensive insights and recommendations on what steps brands can take to address the issue.
"Brands need to take notice to restore people's faith through stability in pricing, an easy shopping and service experience, empathy for customers' psychological outlooks, over-communication, and demonstrating their values to make a positive impact on the world – not just sell product," said Gurevich. "CMOs need to pivot part of their metrics from getting lifetime value from consumers to giving their customers a valuable life."
INFLATION NATION
Here are some key insights from Inflation Nation: The Status of The American Dream and How Brands Can Help on what brands can do to help consumers meet the challenges posed by a new economic and social environment:
- Tailor messaging to psychological outlooks. Consumers' optimism or pessimism about the future is key to how they perceive of and react to inflation.
- Boost rewards. Brands can focus on rewards in some of the most painful categories, for example gas rewards for grocery purchases or bonus airlines miles.
- Reward buyers with simple pleasures. With people sacrificing small joys in order to address pain points, brands can focus on rewards that deliver "simple pleasures" like a product bundle that provides the tools and ingredients to cook an international-inspired meal at home.
- Deliver frictionless deals. Not everyone has time for bargain hunting, and brands can leverage AI technology to help shoppers make smarter decisions by serving up reactive pricing that's in line with their spending.
GUIDELINES FOR BRANDS
Guidelines for Brands in Uncertain Times: Understanding the Psychology of Uncertainty and Loss provides a path to help marketers navigate today's dynamics and help customers navigate an emotionally and psychologically stressful time.
"By utilizing the science behind consumer psychology and behavioral economics, we can provide more actionable and effective avenues for brands," said Sheri Roder, EVP, Chief of WHY Group. "The strongest strategies will be based on the subtle nuances of what drives people to act at a time when any action or spending seems fraught with uncertainty. How can a brand give their customers a feeling of control or lessen their uncertainty? How a brand responds today will reap tangible future benefits, as we know that people tend to value and stick with brands that they feel 'get them' and care about them."
Insights from the report include:
- Buyers want emotional support as much as they need price support. Brands need to demonstrate empathy and transparency.
- Consumers need a narrative that reframes familiar prices into "gain stories" instead of "loss stories."
- Customers are still looking for pleasure, gratification, and bigger picture payoffs, even in the face of difficult economic conditions. Brands need to give consumers a reason to engage beyond their core product or service.
- Consumer attitudes about the future – are they optimistic or pessimistic – seem to have an overwhelming impact on how much psychological pain and price sensitivity they experience. Aligning with the views of these different segments, often for the same products and services, will be make or break.

Scientists at the University of Nottingham in the UK have created a surgical dressing that is specifically designed to facilitate and enhance photothermal therapy following melanoma resection. The dressing allows for near-infrared photothermal therapy that lasts just 15 seconds every 48 hours. The concept involves killing any remaining melanoma cells, while encouraging healthy cells to regenerate within the resection site.
The dressing contains graphene oxide (a photothermal agent, which converts the energy from light to heat, killing cancer cells), elastin, and ethanol. Combining the graphene oxide with elastin reduces its cytotoxicity, meaning that it does not pose a threat to healthy cells, but still enables photothermal therapy to kill residual melanoma cells. The ethanol acts to help chemically reduce the graphene oxide, making photothermal therapy more efficient, and also forms an antiseptic component within the dressing.
Melanoma is a highly aggressive cancer, and once detected, surgical resection is the most common option. However, surgeons frequently err on the side of caution and remove a large portion of tissue to ensure that they have excised all the cancer and help to prevent recurrence. Another option is to use photothermal therapy, where the resection site is exposed to light and a photothermal agent converts the energy from the light to heat, helping to kill residual cells. If performed effectively, this approach could potentially allow surgeons to be more conservative in their resection.
“Given the aggressive nature of melanoma, surgical resections to remove it have to be significantly larger than the size of the tumors to minimize the presence of residual cells,” said Yuanhao Wu, a researcher involved in the study. “This creates a new wound and delays healing. Beyond the prevention of tumor recurrence and promotion of tissue healing, our dressings could also lead to smaller surgical resections and practical post-surgery treatments that are non-invasive and could be delivered at home.”
It can be difficult to deliver photothermal agents to tumors through the bloodstream, as they can have an erratic blood supply and tortuous vasculature, and some photothermal agents can have negative effects on healthy cells. This latest technology aims to place the photothermal agent, in this case reduced graphene oxide, directly onto the resection site. So far, the researchers have shown that the dressings only require 15 seconds of irradiation with near-infrared light every 48 hours to produce effective photothermal therapy. Patients could even administer the light therapy by themselves at home.
“We know that graphene oxide (GO)-protein materials offer huge potential for biomedical devices but the need for harsh processes to make graphene oxide conductive at high temperatures has limited their use,” said Alvaro Mata, another researcher involved in the study. “Our new method offers a solution to this, enabling the fabrication of protein-based materials with both efficient photothermal conductivity and bioactive properties. These materials could be used as dressings for post-surgery treatment and healing of skin cancer, operating within a narrow temperature window where “bad” cells are killed and “good” cells are not.”

Firefighters battle wildfire in Athens suburbs
New feature: Check out news exactly for YOU ➡️ find “Recommended for you” block and enjoy!
Greek planes and helicopters on Wednesday stepped up their battle against a wildfire raging for a second day that has forced hundreds of people to flee mountainside suburbs north of Athens.
Nearly 500 firefighters, 120 vehicles, nine planes and 10 helicopters supported by army units sought to prevent the flames from causing further damage in the suburbs of Penteli, Pallini, Anthousa and Gerakas, home to tens of thousands of people.
Greece has been so far spared a scorching heatwave that saw deadly wildfires destroy vast tracts of land in France, Portugal and Spain, but has instead faced gale-force winds.
Experts blame climate change for extreme weather events and warn that worse is yet to come.
Thirty people, including three firefighters, required medical attention for burns and breathing difficulty, the Greek fire department said.
Several buildings have sustained varying degrees of damage, AFP images showed.
"The sky was red... we left without taking anything with us," a Pallini resident who lost his car and shed to the flames told ERT television.
"The civil protection authority was late in alerting us. The fire was scorching our backs, we left in the nick of time. Had we stayed another 30 seconds it would have burned us," he added.
The house next door was completely gutted, the man said.
'Two active fronts'
Authorities warned residents to stay indoors and keep their windows shut.
With winds racing at over 100 kilometres (62 miles) per hour, smoke from the fire billowed as far as the island of Crete, hundreds of kilometres to the south, satellite imagery showed.
Residents say fires have struck the area three times in the last three decades.
Greek media reported that an 80-year-old man in Anthousa shot himself dead in despair over the fire, which broke out on Tuesday afternoon.
The wildfires around Mount Penteli north of Athens were fanned overnight by strong winds that constantly changed direction.
"There are two active fronts," civil protection official Vassilis Kokkalis told Athens 98.4 radio. "The winds are so strong that the planes are prevented from making targeted water drops," he added.
The fire was threatening businesses on a major Athens highway, he added.
"It's a fire that will be a cause for concern for several days," Kokkalis said.
Residents in several areas, a paediatric hospital and the national observatory at Athens were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
'Insane'

Law enforcement officials in Colorado Springs, Colorado, received a strange call from the local fire department on May 29, 1984, when a few firemen discovered a gravely injured James Semon in his truck. Interestingly, a mystery woman had informed the firefighters about the injured man, but the police were unable to detect her once they got on the scene.
Investigation Discovery’s ‘Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda: Lady in Red’ chronicles how James succumbed to his injuries and follows the ensuing investigation that brought the perpetrator to justice. Let’s delve into the details surrounding the crime and find out more, shall we?
How Did James Semon Die?
A resident of Colorado Springs, James Semon was pretty well known in his community. People who knew him described him as a kindhearted person who loved helping others and making new friends. Moreover, James worked as a contractor and had a good standing with the higher officials. He was also pretty kind to the people working under him, and it is a shame how a cruel act snatched his life away.
On May 29, 1984, firefighters in Colorado Springs were alerted by a woman who stated that an injured man needed help outside. The firefighters immediately jumped to the rescue only to discover James Semon injured and barely conscious in his truck. Strangely, the woman had vanished by that time. Once the police arrived, they made arrangements to shift James to a local hospital. However, James’ wounds proved quite severe, and he soon succumbed to his injuries while undergoing medical care. Later, an autopsy determined that the victim had been brutally stabbed to death.
Who Killed James Semon?
The initial investigation into James Semon’s murder was relatively slow as the police did not have any leads to follow. However, they soon determined that James was murdered elsewhere before being driven to the fire station by the mysterious woman. Thankfully, the firefighters did get a good look at the woman and were able to describe her to the police. Armed with the description, authorities sat down for several interviews with James’ acquaintances until his roommate mentioned that the victim had a friend named Rose Trejo.
Interestingly, Rose’s description matched the woman at the fire station, but once questioned, the woman claimed she found James injured during a party at her house. Obtaining a warrant for Rose’s house, detectives conducted a thorough search which revealed blood splatters belonging to the victim, along with a knife and a shirt with James’ blood on it. However, to their surprise, the people associated with the party feigned ignorance and insisted they had no idea how James was attacked.
Nevertheless, through the investigation, law enforcement officials learned that James was at the party with a few of his coworkers, including Keno Garcia, Armando Alvarez, and Rufus Medina. Moreover, authorities discovered that Keno, Armando, and Rufus were involved in a dispute with James over paychecks, which gave them a motive for murder. However, with no evidence on their hands, the police were forced to let the trio go.
Interestingly, the most significant breakthrough came in the form of an anonymous tip, which claimed that someone had seen James at the party, all covered in blood and shouting expletives at Rufus. This seemed like quite a promising lead, and the police decided to bring in Keno and Armando, hoping to make them confess. However, once interrogated, the men insisted on their innocence but claimed they had seen Rufus stab James during an altercation. Thus, with an incriminating witness statement in their hands, the police arrested Rufus Medina before charging him with murder.
Where Is Rufus Medina Now?
When presented in court, Rufus agreed to sign a plea deal and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. As a result, the judge sentenced him to 16 years in prison in 1985. Although there is no information about Rufus in the Colorado prison records, with his jail term expired, we infer he is currently a free man. However, he prefers privacy regarding his personal life, and the lack of reports on Rufus makes his present whereabouts quite unclear.

HOUSTON, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Flotek Industries, Inc. ("Flotek" or the "Company") (NYSE: FTK), a leader in technology-driven specialty green chemistry solutions, today announced that it expects second quarter 2022 revenue to be in excess of $28MM compared to first quarter 2022 revenue of $12.9MM and second quarter 2021 revenue of $9.2MM. In addition, the Company provided commentary on progress made ramping up volumes related to the ProFrac Holdings (ProFrac) contract.
"The revenue growth we expect to achieve in the second quarter is strong evidence that we are successfully ramping up the transformational ProFrac contract, and I am very proud of our team. During the second quarter, we serviced an average of 8 ProFrac hydraulic fracturing fleets with no service quality issues, and expect to service an average of 16 or greater fleets in the third quarter. Since the April 1, 2022 effective date of the contract, we have delivered over 31 million pounds of chemistry to ProFrac. Combined with the 9 million pounds of chemistry delivered to our transactional (non-ProFrac) customers, total delivered volume in the second quarter was approximately double what we delivered for the entire year in 2021. We are delighted with how far we have come over a short period of time, and are very excited about the future. While we still have additional work to do in order to achieve the full scope of the contract, we are up to the task," said CEO John W. Gibson, Jr.
"We are proud of the work that the collective teams at Profrac and Flotek have accomplished. We are well on pace to reach full fleet adoption per the Profrac/Flotek contract by the beginning of 2023. Flotek's chemistry is the highest quality and continues to enable the smooth transition of each of our fleets. With the continued expansion of volumes, our belief is that Flotek will see continued efficiencies in logistics and purchasing power that reduces over-all costs and improves margins," said Profrac Executive Chairman Matt Wilks.
While delivered volume and revenue are expected to show strong growth over the first quarter 2022, the ramp up required the Company to incur some one-time expenses, including costs related to the mobilization of additional field deployment tanks (ISO), which increased from 20 to 101. In addition, freight and logistics costs are expected to be significantly above expectations, consistent with inflation being experienced by peers. However, these issues are not expected to interrupt consistent improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin through the second half of 2022, and the Company still expects to generate positive Adjusted EBITDA excluding convertible notes amortization before the end of the fourth quarter 2022.
Flotek Industries, Inc. creates solutions to reduce the environmental impact of energy on air, water, land and people. A technology-driven, specialty green chemistry and data company, Flotek helps customers across industrial, commercial, and consumer markets improve their Environmental, Social, and Governance performance. Flotek's Chemistry Technologies segment develops, manufactures, packages, distributes, delivers, and markets high-quality cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing products for commercial, governmental and personal consumer use.

Nigerian passport moves up three places in global ranking
Nigeria has moved up three places as its passport is ranked 100th out of 116 countries, but it is still among the least powerful in Africa, the latest 2022 Henley Passport Index shows.
The index, published by Henley & Partners, a London-based global citizenship and residence advisory firm, ranks 199 passports based on the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa.
It is updated in real time throughout the year as and when visa policy changes come into effect.
The Nigerian passport, according to the index, only guarantees visa-free access to 46 countries of the world. But despite the improvement, the country still ranked amongst the top 10 African countries with the least powerful passports.
Globally, Japan’s passport is ranked as the most powerful in the world as it allows a holder to enter 193 countries around the world.
In Africa, Seychelles’ passport is ranked number one and 28th in the world. Its passport holders have access to 153 countries without visa payment.
Read also: Lagos ranked 171 out of 172 liveable cities in the world- EIU
Mauritius’s passport is ranked second in Africa and ranked 33th globally with access to 146 countries. South Africa is third in Africa and ranked 55th in the world with access to travel to 105 countries. Botswana is ranked fourth in Africa and rated 65 all over the world with access to 87 countries without paying for a visa.
Namibia is ranked 76th in the global ranking and fifth in Africa. Its passport carriers have access to 79 countries.
The African countries with the least powerful passports are Somalia, Libya, Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.
Stephen Klimczuk-Massion, Quondam Fellow of Oxford University’s Saïd Business School said it is an understatement to say that we are living through a particularly turbulent time worldwide, with the pandemic still casting a long shadow and newer developments such as war, inflation, political instability and incidents of violence increasingly dominating the headlines.
“In this context, a passport is more than ever a calling card, which, depending on which passport you carry and where you are going, will have an impact on the kind of welcome you will receive where you can go, and how safe you will be when you get there,” Klimczuk-Massion said.
He also added that the relative strength or weakness of a particular national passport directly affects the quality of life for the passport holder and may even be a matter of life and death in some circumstances. | https://businessday.ng/business-economy/article/nigerian-passport-moves-up-three-places-in-global-ranking/ | 2022-07-20T12:06:37Z | https://businessday.ng/business-economy/article/nigerian-passport-moves-up-three-places-in-global-ranking/ | true | 1 |
Should iShares MSCI USA Value Factor ETF (VLUE) Be on Your Investing Radar?
The iShares MSCI USA Value Factor ETF (VLUE) was launched on 04/16/2013, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
The fund is sponsored by Blackrock. It has amassed assets over $9.18 billion, making it one of the larger ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
Why Large Cap Value
Large cap companies typically have a market capitalization above $10 billion. They tend to be stable companies with predictable cash flows and are usually less volatile than mid and small cap companies.
Value stocks are known for their lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, but investors should also note their lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. While value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in nearly all markets when you consider long-term performance, growth stocks are more likely to outpace value stocks in strong bull markets.
Costs
Since cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.15%, making it one of the cheaper products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 3.08%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
ETFs offer a diversified exposure and thus minimize single stock risk but it is still important to delve into a fund's holdings before investing. Most ETFs are very transparent products and many disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Information Technology sector--about 27.90% of the portfolio. Healthcare and Telecom round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, At&t Inc (T) accounts for about 7.21% of total assets, followed by Intel Corporation Corp (INTC) and Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO).
The top 10 holdings account for about 35.48% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
VLUE seeks to match the performance of the MSCI USA Enhanced Value Index before fees and expenses. The MSCI USA Enhanced Value Index is based on a traditional market capitalization-weighted parent index, the MSCI USA Index which includes U.S. large and mid capitalization stocks.
The ETF has lost about -14.14% so far this year and is down about -3.67% in the last one year (as of 07/20/2022). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $88.40 and $114.92.
The ETF has a beta of 1.03 and standard deviation of 26.97% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 155 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
IShares MSCI USA Value Factor ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 1 (Strong Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, VLUE is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.
The iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (IWD) and the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) track a similar index. While iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF has $51.79 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $95.19 billion. IWD has an expense ratio of 0.19% and VTV charges 0.04%.
Bottom-Line
Retail and institutional investors increasingly turn to passively managed ETFs because they offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; these kind of funds are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.

Jamie O’Hara believes Tottenham should set their sights higher than finishing fourth and progress would be closing the gap on Liverpool.
Spurs enjoyed an excellent end to last term and pipped rivals Arsenal to a top four finish to secure qualification for this season’s Champions League.
So far this summer, manager Antonio Conte has wasted little time in strengthening his squad with no less than six new faces introduced to the club.
They include Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma, Clement Lenglet, Richarlison and Djed Spence.
With more potential signings on the way, fans have every reason to be optimistic ahead of the upcoming campaign and O’Hara is aiming high.
Asked by talkSPORT co-host Jason Cundy about the potential of a top four finish, O’Hara told The Sports Bar: “I don’t think that’s a great season.
“If we finish fourth next season that’s not progress with the players that we’ve signed.”
Discussing their chance of catching Liverpool, O’Hara added: “I’m optimistic. Genuinely, I’m optimistic.
Most read in Football
“I wouldn’t put my house on it, but I look at the squad of players that we’ve signed and if we finish fourth then I’m not going to be happy.
“I’m not going to be happy with a fourth place finish and no trophy.”
Liverpool have added the firepower of Darwin Nunez and Man City have signed Erling Haaland in a bid to pull further away from the pack.
Spurs play City away on 10 September and host Liverpool on 5 November.

Hotel bosses in Spain fear a high summer of holiday overbookings because of a huge surge of reservations in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic. Many are still in the dark if they will be able to provide accommodation for all guests - with the uncertainty blamed on regulations introduced to handle the coronavirus crisis
Booking get-out clauses brought in during the pandemic continue to apply - so there is no penalty or charge imposed on guests who choose not to take up reservations. Rooms that have not been reserved directly are usually sold by online booking platforms.
So there is the potential risk of overbooking, if initial unconfirmed reservations are eventually fulfilled with some resorts already bursting at the seams.
Hoteliers claim it is difficult maintain accurate occupancy levels owing to uncertainty created by the pandemic rule changes and the trend towards last-minute bookings. If holidaymakers cannot be accommodated in hotels that they have booked, there is an obligation to offer alternatives of the same standard.
Average occupancy levels are at present said to be around 95 per cent leaving little room for manoeuvre to cope with extra bookings. A spokesperson for Spanish hoteliers told the Ultima Hora newspaper: "Until the last moment we do not know if the reservations made are going to be fulfilled, mainly because in the pandemic customers do not have to pay any type of penalty if in the end they do not choose to come.
“It is impossible to operate in this situation plagued by uncertainties and we have to face this overselling of reserves."
The Habtur tourist rental association in Majorca stated occupancy was at its limits during peak summer months because of soaring demand.

– FDA Fast Track Designation and European Commission Orphan Medicinal Product Designation Underscore the Significant Need for New Treatment Options for MDS –
NEWTON, Mass., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: KPTI), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering novel cancer therapies, today announced new regulatory designations for eltanexor, a novel oral, Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) investigational compound being studied for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS): (i) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted fast track designation for the development program of eltanexor as monotherapy for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory intermediate, high-, or very high-risk MDS; (ii) the European Commission (EC) adopted the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) opinion to designate eltanexor as an orphan medicinal product for the treatment of MDS in the European Union (EU). Karyopharm also received orphan drug designation from the FDA in January 2022. MDS are a group of diseases characterized by ineffective production of the components of the blood due to poor bone marrow function with a risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.
Karyopharm is currently investigating eltanexor in an ongoing open-label Phase 1/2 study in patients with relapsed/refractory MDS. Previously, Karyopharm reported initial data from the Phase 1 portion of this study evaluating single-agent eltanexor in patients with hypomethylating agent (HMA)-refractory MDS.
Approximately 15,000 people in the U.S.1 and 14,000 people in the EU2 are expected to be diagnosed with intermediate-to-high risk MDS in 2022. HMAs are the current standard of care for newly diagnosed, higher-risk MDS patients. However, only 40-60% of patients respond, with these responses typically lasting less than two years.3 The prognosis in HMA-refractory disease is poor, with a median overall survival of four to six months.4,5 There are currently no approved therapies for HMA- refractory MDS.
"These recent designations from the FDA and EC reinforce eltanexor's potential to improve clinical outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory MDS," said Richard Paulson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Karyopharm. "We are dedicated to advancing our ongoing clinical trials and remain committed to bringing eltanexor to these patients and their families as a new treatment option."
Fast track is a process designed by the FDA to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. The purpose is to get important new drugs to the patient earlier. Fast Track addresses a broad range of serious conditions. Once a drug receives Fast Track designation, early and frequent communication between the FDA and the drug company is encouraged throughout the entire drug development and review process.
Orphan Medicinal Product Designation is granted by the EC to promote the development of drugs that target rare (less than 5 in 100,000 people across the EU), seriously debilitating and/or life-threatening diseases, and are expected to provide a significant benefit over existing authorized treatments. Orphan designation qualifies a company for certain incentives that apply across all stages of drug development, including the potential for ten years of market exclusivity following marketing approval, fee reductions, and eligibility for orphan drug grants.
About Eltanexor
Eltanexor (KPT-8602) is an investigational novel SINE compound that functions by binding with, and inhibiting, the nuclear export protein, XPO1, leading to the accumulation of tumor suppressor proteins in the cell nucleus. This reinitiates and amplifies their tumor suppressor function and is believed to lead to the selective induction of apoptosis in cancer cells, while largely sparing normal cells.
In preclinical models, eltanexor has a broad therapeutic window with minimal penetration of the blood brain barrier and, therefore, has the potential to serve as another SINE compound for cancer indications. Following oral administration, animals treated with eltanexor show lower percentage of body weight loss and improved food consumption than animals similarly treated with selinexor. This allows more frequent dosing of eltanexor, enabling a longer period of exposure than is possible with selinexor.
Eltanexor is an investigational medicine and has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration or any other regulatory agency.
About Karyopharm Therapeutics
Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: KPTI) is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering novel cancer therapies.

Backed by Fall Line Capital, the California-based company has raised $2.1 million in pre-seed funding to build "first of its kind" irrigation system, designed to optimize water usage for commercial growers
SONOMA COUNTY, Calif., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumo [lumo.ag], a new Agtech company focused on water sustainability, announced today that it has raised $2.1 million in pre-seed funding and plans to allocate funds toward commercialization of its irrigation technology. The system offers a first of its kind wireless, cloud-managed water valve network that will enable growers to optimize water usage to improve crop quality and reduce overhead costs. Presently a number of Lumo's irrigation systems are being tested in vineyards and orchards in Sonoma County, California.
On a global basis, the UN is predicting a 40% shortfall in freshwater resources by 20301 and with irrigation accounting for 70% of total fresh water used globally2, it's now more important than ever for the agricultural industry to leverage modern technology to protect one of the world's most precious natural resources by becoming more efficient and accountable.
Lumo was launched by partners Devon Wright (CEO), John Hinnegan (CTO) and renowned water technology inventor, Henry Halimi (R&D)
- Wright started and sold Turnstyle Solutions to Yelp in 2017 for $20 million
- Hinnegan started and sold Thinknear to Telenav in 2012 for $22.5 million
- Halimi started and sold Flo to Moen in 2020 for an undisclosed amount
"Preserving fresh water requires fresh thinking," says Devon Wright, CEO of Lumo. "Climate change and population growth are forcing governments and farmers to adopt new water management technology. Currently, the systems that farmers are using for managing and tracking irrigation are broken and wasteful. Lumo's technology will not only help them in terms of productivity and profitability, but as the stewards of our planet, give them the much needed innovation they've been waiting for."
The $2.1 million pre-seed funding was led by Fall Line Capital, a VC focused on farmland and sustainable agriculture technologies. The funding will be allocated toward the continued development and commercialization of Lumo's smart irrigation system. This solution makes irrigation automation and reporting easily accessible to growers to optimize their water usage for maximum profitability. Lumo offers a user friendly, wireless and comprehensive data system without complicated scheduling, configuration, or manual intervention.
"Water is one of our most critical resources in agriculture. Yet, very few companies are tackling the problem in a practical and scalable way," says Baptiste Tellier, Director at Fall Line Capital. "The Lumo team's unique blend of hardware and software expertise will enable them to engineer irrigation controls that optimize for reliability and deployment. We look forward to working with them to bring their product to market and provide solutions for farmers facing climate change challenges and operating costs increases."
Looking ahead, Lumo will play a key role in creating a digital water record that could be used in the future to unlock enhanced water reporting and trading on a global scale.
Lumo is backed by an advisory board of notable fresh water authorities, VCs, and viticulturalists that will help the company accelerate all critical areas of the business. The advisory board consists of Jay Wright, ex-COO & President of Global Wine for Constellation Brands, Rob Harris, GM of Durrell & Price Family Vineyards, and Kurt Beitler, Director of Operations at Boheme Wines.

China's military said on Wednesday it followed and monitored US destroyer Benfold's transit of the Taiwan Strait.
"The frequent provocations and showing-off by the United States fully demonstrate that the United States is a destroyer of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and a maker of security risks in the Taiwan Strait," said Chinese military's Eastern Theatre Command said.

HOBOKEN, N.J., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lee Health, one of the largest not-for-profit public health systems in Florida, has partnered with Health Recovery Solutions, to expand its virtual care services. The partnership aims to decrease hospital readmissions and reduce unnecessary emergency room visits.
The virtual health program initially targets patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension (HTN) and post cardio-thoracic surgery patients with plans to expand to other chronic care and high-risk patient populations by the end of the year.
"Remote patient monitoring allows us to care for patients in the most appropriate care setting based on their personal needs and where they are most comfortable – at home. It allows us to virtually track their health in real time and intervene when needed to prevent worsening health conditions," said Zsolt Kulcsar, D.O., Medical Director of Lee Virtual Health. "Digital health is transforming the way we provide medical care and is giving patients more options in seeking the right care, in the right place and at the right time."
Telehealth patients are identified for the program by their primary care and specialty providers during office visits or prior to hospital discharge. Patients are introduced to the virtual health technology in the physician's office or prior to discharge and are sent a telehealth kit directly to their homes within 48 hours.
Once patients receive their telehealth kit, complete with a 4G tablet and biometric monitoring devices, an HRS Engagement Specialist calls the patients and reviews the virtual care technology once more and helps the patient record their first vital signs. Once the technology is set up, patients begin working with a dedicated registered nurse in the virtual health department for education of their condition and monitoring of their vital signs. Through this additional education, Lee Health aims to increase patients' comfort level with the technology and their long-term engagement.
Lee Health clinicians monitor patients daily, responding to risk alerts based on reported vitals and symptoms. To quickly evaluate patients and address concerns, Lee Health nurses can contact patients directly through the tablet via text messaging, phone call, or virtual visit.
"By leveraging remote patient monitoring to deliver a comprehensive suite of services, Lee Health will be able to ensure their patients incur a significantly reduced volume of avoidable ED visits and unnecessary admissions and readmissions. In addition, Lee Health's virtual health program will make a significant impact on a variety of social determinants of health and barriers to care," said Florence Kariuki, Chief Clinical Officer at HRS.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Lee Health clinicians offered virtual visit to patients undergoing home isolation. The Lee Health telehealth program is continuing to leverage virtual visits to expand access to care, evaluate patients experiencing exacerbations, and augment in-person visits when appropriate.
In the coming months, Lee Health looks to expand their virtual health services further to patients with pre-eclampsia, wound care, and the nephrology space as part of its commitment to discovering new solutions and implementing innovative programs that deliver care to patients at home.
Since the opening of the first hospital in 1916, Lee Health has been a health care leader in Southwest Florida, constantly evolving to meet the needs of the community. A non-profit, integrated health care services organization, Lee Health is committed to the well-being of every individual served, focused on healthy living and maintaining good health. Staffed by caring people, inspiring health, services are conveniently located throughout the community in four acute care hospitals, two specialty hospitals, outpatient centers, walk-in medical centers, primary care and specialty physician practices and other services across the continuum of care. Learn more at www.LeeHealth.org.
Health Recovery Solutions' (HRS) telehealth and remote patient monitoring solutions empower the nation's leading providers and payers to deliver care to patients across the continuum—reducing readmissions, optimizing clinician workflow, and improving patient satisfaction. HRS' disease-specific telehealth solutions are customized with educational videos, care plans, and medication reminders while also integrated with Bluetooth peripherals to engage patients in their self-management. HRS' mission is to create a new standard of care by providing advanced telehealth and remote patient monitoring solutions that facilitate behavior change and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
