The Detroit Tigers pieced together the rest of their 2022 draft class after the last ten rounds that took place on Tuesday. The team added 19 players to the organization, all from the collegiate level. The team added seven position players, opting to add 12 arms to the mix.
Though the Detroit Tigers were position player heavy early on, they went for mostly arms in the later parts of the draft. Al Avila and his staff have been able to piece together some strong draft classes favoring arms, but the need for position player depth is overwhelming.
There is a lot to unpack in the draft class, and with the importance placed on collegiate-level bats, there must be some hope. Adding in seven position players, with many of them being taken early on, helps them try to accomplish this. At least a couple of these players must bring quality projection moving forward, right?

Even if the team’s first-round pick was not my personal favorite, I think that there was plenty to enjoy. That said, here is a look at the players the Tigers selected with the first five selections they made in the 2022 MLB Draft. Each of them is assigned a grade based on how I felt the pick grades out for the Tigers.
Full disclosure, it is merely an opinion, and these grades are based on how I feel these picks graded out. A bad grade does not mean the player is not a future big-leaguer, and a good grade does not mean the player is a future 10-time all-star.
Here’s a look at grades for the Detroit Tigers’ first five picks.
The Detroit Tigers surprised some people when they did not take a prep arm, as many may have anticipated. But, they did get things right by going into the collegiate ranks to add an impact bat. There were several options on the board for the team at 12th overall, though my favorite, Gavin Cross, had gone off the board at pick number 10.
Let’s dive right into the grades with the team’s first pick in the draft.
Jace Jung, 2B/LHH, Texas Tech University
When the Detroit Tigers were on the clock at pick no.12, they opted to select Jace Jung, a second baseman from Texas Tech University. The quick tidbit is that he’s a power-bat who will hit for power from the left side. The swing path produces hard contact, and strength helps the power aspect.
However, the knock on him is the funky setup. His swing has a bit of a Matt Olson set up, which I hinted at in pre-draft coverage of the Tigers’ potential options here. Jung’s bat is more back towards the umpire rather than out like Olson’s, but it still is an unorthodox setup.
The swing itself produces loud contact, and he can be explosive through the zone, but something about the weird setup irks me. Jung has to be a second baseman, with third base proving to be a problem at the collegiate level. He will have to hit to prove valuable to the Tigers organization since his defensive upside is minimal.
With the bat being so strong, I cannot give the Tigers an “F” for this pick. But I would have rather seen someone else with other options like Cam Collier, Chase DeLauter, Justin Crawford, and Daniel Susac available when they took Jung.
That said, I settled on a mid-range grade, favoring the lower side of things. I think Jung will be good, but the pick initially underwhelmed me and still is a bit underwhelming as it has set in.
Jung’s Draft Grade: C-
Peyton Graham, SS/RHH, University of Oklahoma
One of the Detroit Tigers’ best picks on day one, and really the entire draft, was grabbing Peyton Graham with their second-round draft choice. He’s been the shortstop for the Oklahoma Sooners for the last three seasons, finally settling in as the starter and catching fire in 2022.
Graham may be listed as a shortstop, but several options exist here. He can be transitioned over to third base or the outfield in the big leagues down the line. He’s played these positions and appears that he’s going to bring a good glove, clean defensive actions, and smooth instincts wherever he plays.
He’s got a pretty swing, starts open, and closes up with a big leg kick, but it produces some quality barrels. He refined the approach and honed in on lowering his strikeout percentage and was able to do so. Graham has power upside, and his 20 long-balls this year support that.
HIt was easy to give a stamp of approval to the Tigers’ selection of Graham with plenty to like. e has taken professional at-bats with his time in a Sooners uniform, and the upside is undoubtedly their long-term. If Graham can polish up the tools from a 6-foot-3 frame, there will be a lot to like moving forward. Graham’s Draft Grade: A+
Troy Melton – RHP, San Diego State University
The Detroit Tigers deviated from their position player start to the draft with their fourth-round selection. They chose Troy Melton, a right-handed pitcher from the San Diego State Aztecs program. The right-handed pitcher is a high-three-quarters guy who will live in the low- to mid-90s and reach back for more throughout a start.
He mixes a bit of a slurvy breaking ball in, but it pairs well with his fastball that has arm-side life to it. The two-pitch tunneling works well. But he’s also able to throw a changeup with fade into the mix that looks like the fastball. It’s easy to like the pitchability moving forward with Melton, and after a phenomenal season with the Aztecs program, the Tigers should be able to keep polishing off Melton’s abilities.
Given where he was selected, Melton could have been someone the Tigers had high on their board; for that reason, it leads me to stamp some approval onto this pick. Melton saw a few higher-profile names go after him, but for what the Tigers are getting from the right-hander. It seemed like a good pick overall for a fourth-round grab.
Melton’s Draft Grade: B+
Luke Gold – 2B & 3B/RHH, Boston College
Another position player with plenty of exciting upside is Luke Gold, who joins the organization after three seasons with the Boston College Eagles. Gold has a toe-tap timing mechanism, and the swing is pretty. He’s got a quality swing path through the zone and will be able to produce barrels.
It’s short and compact but looks the part. The results show his success, and Gold has plenty to like about the hit tools. Gold is an ACC conference hitter who was consistent and should be able to translate this to the next level.
Gold’s working from a 6-foot, 220-pound frame. So the strength is there, and he can show that in the swing and produce hard contact. The right-handed hitter can control the hands and get the barrel on the plane with pitches in many areas of the zone. I like the bat here as the standout tool.
Since the Tigers opted to take Jung as a second baseman, they are hoping that Gold can live up to his tools at third base and be the third baseman the team could have taken earlier in the draft. Though Gold mostly played second base with the Boston College Eagles, there is a projection for him to be able to handle the hot corner for the Tigers.
After passing on Collier in the first round, the team still needed to try and add a third-basemen, and Gold’s bat-first projection could be good enough to do the trick. He
Gold’s Draft Grade: A-
Danny Serretti – SS/SHH, University of North Carolina
The Detroit Tigers opted to grab another shortstop with their fifth draft selection, taking Danny Serretti in the sixth round, a product of UNC-Chapel Hill, who swings from both sides of the plate. From the left side, he’s more of a contact guy, keeps the hands high with the weight on his back leg, and then uses a quick leg lift and stride through the ball.
The hands are also high from the right side with a similar swing and swing path, but there’s more pop in the bat. Sticking with the narrative, a power-producing bat is what it feels like Serretti will be. He’s made improvements to bring some more pop from the left side. However, it feels like he’s more of a doubles-in-the-gap guy from the left side, especially with the cavernous gap in Comerica Park.
Serretti is an intriguing option and a solid add in the sixth round with the tools he does possess. He should be someone whose bat could carry him through the organization. His defense could see him moving around positionally, which is the biggest knock on him. I believe he has the instincts to play the left side of the field.
It’s a low-risk, high-reward pick, which leads me to lean towards this pick being a “win” for the Tigers.
Serretti’s Draft Grade: B
Time will be a big factor with all of these players.

In 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, acting on input from a group of veterinary researchers, began investigating whether the increasing popularity of grain-free dog foods had led to a sudden rise in a potentially fatal heart disease in dogs, dilated cardiomyopathy.
Four years later, the FDA has found no firm link between diet and dilated cardiomyopathy. Nor has it rejected such a link, and research is ongoing. Publicity surrounding this issue, nevertheless, has shrunk the once-promising market for grain-free dog foods.
Furthermore, a tangled web of industry funding and interests appears to have influenced the origin, data collection, and course of the FDA study, according to internal FDA records.
A six-month investigation by 100Reporters has found that veterinarians who prompted the FDA to consider diet have financial and other ties to the leading sellers of grain-inclusive pet foods. Additionally, agency records show that for the initial study, some vets were instructed to submit only dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cases that implicated grain-free, “exotic” or “boutique” pet foods. Suppliers of ingredients used in grain-free dog foods have also exerted pressure on the FDA to protect their market.
Consequently, the conversation around DCM and grain-free food is deeply divided, with each side claiming the other is prioritizing industry relationships over scientific integrity and the lives of pets.
“This became such an emotional issue,” said Dana Brooks, CEO of the Pet Food Institute, whose members produce most pet foods in the US. “We’re scrambling to try to even determine what’s going on.”
CAUSE FOR CONCERN
Grain-free pet diets became popular in the early 2000s, relying heavily on pulses — seeds from legume plants including peas, beans and lentils. By 2019, grain-free kibble represented 43 percent of dry pet foods sold.
Until 2017, the FDA saw one to three reports of DCM annually. But between January 1 and July 10, 2018, it received 25 cases. Seven reports came from a single source, animal nutritionist Lisa Freeman from Tufts University’s Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, an FDA spokesperson said. FDA records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, however, indicate those reports may not have been fully representative of cases seen at the Tufts clinic.
In a June 2018 email to FDA veterinary medical officer Jennifer Jones, Freeman attached a document instructing vets to report cases to the FDA, “If patient is eating any diet besides those made by well-known, reputable companies or if eating a boutique, exotic ingredient, or grain-free (BEG) diet.”
When asked if this could be perceived as cherry-picking data that would shape the inquiry, Freeman stated through Tufts media relations: “The protocol in that email was developed for and intended to help veterinary cardiologists in the early stages of the investigation into potential associations between diet and dilated cardiomyopathy.”
“I shared the protocol with the FDA to inform them of what our clinical recommendations for patients were at that time,” Freeman wrote, noting they’re “continuing to study” any diet with ingredients linked to DCM “regardless of manufacturer.”
In an email, an FDA spokesperson wrote, “The FDA has never requested that DCM cases reported to the agency be limited to certain diet types. We welcome all DCM reports with a suspected link to food, regardless of the type of diet.”
According to PubMed.gov, Freeman has received funding from leading sellers of grain-inclusive foods, including Nestle Purina Petcare, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, and Mars Petcare, since 2002. Her recent conflict-of-interest declarations state: “In the last 3 years, Dr. Freeman has received research funding from, given sponsored lectures for, and/or provided professional services to Aratana Therapeutics, Elanco, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Nestlé Purina PetCare, P&G Pet Care (now Mars), and Royal Canin.”
Industry funding is common in animal nutrition science. Freeman said she stands behind her research and has “ transparently disclosed the sources of funding for the work I conduct on this topic.”
Two veterinary cardiologists—Darcy Adin from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and Joshua Stern from the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine—also collaborated with the FDA.
Emails from a public records request indicate that in April 2018, Jones spoke with Freeman, Stern and Adin about grain-free dog foods and DCM and requested spreadsheets of their clinical case data.
Adin has been involved in studies funded by Purina since 2018 and, since 2017, by the Morris Animal Foundation, an animal health charity created by the founder of Hill’s and chaired by a Hill’s employee.
University of Florida’s public relations said neither Adin nor the university received direct financial support from the companies for these studies.
Stern has authored studies funded by the Morris Animal Foundation since 2011, and currently receives funding from the foundation.
“I completely understand conflict-of-interest concerns with people being funded by the pet food industry,” Stern said. “It’s hard to find a veterinary nutritionist that hasn’t done research for pet food companies.”
Purina, Hill’s and Mars didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment.
In July 2018, the FDA announced its investigation, noting many of the 25 dogs diagnosed lacked a genetic predisposition to DCM. The common thread, it said, appeared to be a grain-free diet.
A year later, the FDA took the unusual step of naming 16 dog foods, nearly all grain-free, that appeared most frequently in their DCM case reports. “We’ve never seen anything like that before without a certainty of the cause,” said Brooks.
Joseph Bartges, professor of animal nutrition at the University of Georgia, wasn’t surprised, noting the FDA flagged grain-free food early on. “When you only look for what you want to see, you only see what you look for,” Bartges said. By July 2020, reports of DCM numbered 1,100 — likely resulting from the FDA encouraging people to report the disease," said Brooks.
INFLUENTIAL INDUSTRY
Suppliers of ingredients for grain-free foods, in turn, marshaled forces to protect their market share.
In its 2019 annual report, the USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council said it “convinced the FDA to clarify their language about their concerns and minimize the damage to the industry.”
In a 2019 letter to FDA officials, Sen. Jon Tester from Montana — a principal growing region for pulses— complained the agency’s “unsubstantiated warning” had hurt pulse farmers. The following year, seven senators signed another letter to the FDA flagging potential “bias about causation of this disease.”
The FDA has continuously stated that DCM involves multiple factors. Shortly after that letter, Steven Solomon, director of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), emphasized this point, describing DCM as “a scientifically complex, multifaceted issue,” adding that “we . . . currently do not view this as a regulatory issue.”
An FDA spokesperson wrote that while it met with stakeholders, “Ultimately, all FDA decisions and work are guided by science, data, and our public health mission.”
Regardless of the investigation’s ultimate findings, sales of grain-free dry dog foods have fallen since June 2018 and decreased by $60 million from 2021 to 2022. Meanwhile, grain-inclusive sales spiked in 2019 and rose by $700 million from 2020 to 2021.
Getting an answer about DCM will be difficult thanks to the complexity of the science and industry influence, said Marion Nestle, author of Pet Food Politics. “They’re all trying to protect their market share.”

YONKERS, WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — July 20, 2022 — Nowadays, apps play a big part in our day-to-day lives. From alarms to online banking, every application serves a unique purpose and is easily accessible on our phones, tablets, and PCs.
Due to the pandemic, people have also been using their phones for school work. Hence, many high-tech companies have developed apps to help students navigate online courses better and even get homework help.
For instance, many tutors, assignment writing services, and older students offer assistance with homework through phone apps so students can access them easily.
But there’s more than homework apps on the web. The market for student apps is full of useful applications that simplify time-consuming tasks. Here are nine of the essential apps every student should use.
- Google Documents
Google Docs is one of the in-built apps of Google. You can find it on your Chrome home page, at the top right corner. Next to your Google avatar, you’ll see nine dots in the shape of a square. If you click on it, you can find all the tools Google offers you for free. If you’re using your phone, you need to install it from Google Play.
This app is fantastic for taking notes or writing any documents. It’s similar to Word but “wired” to the Google system. So, wherever you might be, as long as you have your Google password, you can access your documents from any device.
The app is synchronized and stores all of your documents in a cloud, so your phone’s storage can be free. Moreover, you can print, edit, and share your documents easily. While working on your paper, the app automatically saves it at short intervals, so you never have to save it manually. Even if your device shuts down, your paper will be safe in your cloud.
- Google Drive
We already mentioned Google Docs. However, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t mention its older brother, Google Drive. This app is essentially what stores Google Docs. It’s the cloud space that Google offers you to store anything you want within 15GB.
Say you have a lot of assignments to work on and share. You can work on them in collaboration with your writer, essay writing service, or tutor by giving them access to your folder.
- My Study Life
My Study Life is popular among students because you can organize your academic life easily through a free app.
You can set timers for your classes and arrange them in a calendar, exam dates, and more. It offers quite a lot of options for a free app.
- Unidays
College life can be expensive, especially when you’re not working a full-time job despite many expenses. So, you need to make become a little more frugal.
Hence, Unidays is the best app for saving money. You just need to sign up with your email address, then you can find all the discounts available for you.

Grammarly is an excellent tool for anyone. You can install it as a Chrome or Word extension. Also, you can install it on your phone. It corrects any text you write and ensures the grammar and tone are flawless.
You can install it for free, although the subscription offers various useful services.
- Mint
If you want to save money as much as possible, using discounts isn’t enough. Sure, buying something at a lower price saves some money. Nonetheless, if it’s something you didn’t really need in the first place, you lose money even with discounts.
So, you might want to track your expenses and check that you don’t spend too much on useless things. Instead, you can save for essential items like food, your coursework writing service, and utilities. Because getting help with school, eating, and having heat are more important than make-up, video games, and clothes.
- Khan Academy
Khan Academy is an excellent app for expanding your knowledge, revising, and improving your skills. It offers a large amount of college material, making studying and revising easy.
It’s an international app, and everyone, even teachers and parents, can sign up.
- Headspace
Being a student isn’t a walk in the park. You have to study, attend classes, work, and make room for other activities. So, you might feel stressed and burnt out. Headspace is a great app to engage in mindfulness and find inner peace.
You can listen to music while reading, studying, or meditating. It’s an excellent tool for achieving calmness and focus.
Headspace is free, but you can subscribe to complete services and options for $10 a year (students).
- Forest
You can’t always type in buy an essay or do my assignment for me. Sometimes you have to write, study, and research yourself. But what happens when you can’t stop using your phone? Here’s where an app like Forest saves the day.
The more you don’t use your phone, the more your virtual forest grows. This app gives you something to look for, an objective to reach instead of just shutting down your phone and forcing you not to use it.
Final Thoughts
If you need to save money and organize your budget, Mint and Unidays are the best options. Meanwhile, Forest and Headspace can improve your focus.

One thing I knew about the University of Georgia before I came here was that Greek life is a big part of the student experience. Because I wasn’t interested in joining a sorority, that perception worried me as I started my freshman year.
Many people I knew who attended UGA found a close group of friends within their sorority. It seemed like a great way to start a scary new chapter — with a whole group of people by your side.
As tempting as it was to look into joining a sorority, I decided ultimately it was not the path for me. I personally felt like the social circle of Greek life was too limiting of a space.
One of my big hopes for college was that I would have the opportunity to meet all kinds of new people. I felt I could expand my circle so much more and invite so much more diversity into my time in college if I focused on making friends outside of Greek life.
That’s not to say I don’t sometimes regret my decision. A big factor in my choice was simply my unfamiliarity with the recruitment process. I had no clue what it meant to rush or pledge or bid. I was daunted by the stereotypes I had of sororities and what the process of joining one is like.
In my two years at UGA, a lot of those stereotypes have been broken. I have seen friends and relatives benefit profoundly from their involvement in Greek life, and I have seen many people make lifelong friendships within their sorority. Without that kind of social framework, it can be a challenge to make and maintain friendships in college.
But it is by no means impossible. If you are starting college and feel like Greek life isn’t for you, my first piece of advice would be to not rule it out. Reach out to someone who is involved in Greek life and ask them about their experiences to see if it’s right for you. But if you, like me, still don’t feel like a sorority or a fraternity is your thing, don’t be afraid to look elsewhere for a social life. You will not miss out on a college experience by not joining one. While it may seem that everyone at UGA is involved in Greek life, approximately 73% of students are not in a sorority or a fraternity, according to Student Affairs. And there are many ways to get connected with other students.
But you probably won’t make friends sitting alone in your dorm room. So regardless of whether or not you decide to get involved with Greek life, don’t be afraid to get out there and meet new people.

A Popular Summertime Seasoning Quickly Becomes a Potentially Deadly Threat
MINNEAPOLIS, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- It's summer. Time to fire up the barbeque, throw on your favorite meats or vegetables, and demonstrate your culinary skills with your secret blend of spices. It turns out that one of those popular summertime seasonings, onion powder, can also be an extremely dangerous but tempting treat to your pet.
"A Costco-sized container of onion powder was accidentally left on the kitchen counter," explained Sharron Champagne of Hooksett, NH. Although both of her family's dogs, Tsuk and Scotty, were left alone with the onion powder, only Tsuk decided to dive in. According to Champagne, "Scotty is smarter than that."
"Tsuk is notorious for stealing things off the counter," said Champagne. "She's extremely focused on food and is always hungry. I swear she can hear a piece of lettuce drop from across the house. Apparently, Tsuk pulled the onion powder container off the counter and ripped it open. The container was about three-quarters full, and what she didn't eat she left on her mat.
At first, we weren't too concerned since she gets into so many things, and we didn't know that ingesting onions is so dangerous to pets. After a few days she became lethargic, stopped eating, started drinking more water than usual and her urine was dark in color. She also started vomiting. That is when we realized something was seriously wrong."
The Champagne family called the toxicology experts at Pet Poison Helpline, who advised them to take Tsuk to the veterinary hospital after discussing the dog's signs.
"The amount of onion powder potentially ingested by Tsuk posed a risk for red blood cell damage, anemia and GI irritation," said Dr. Renee Schmid, a senior veterinary toxicologist at Pet Poison Helpline. "Main clinical signs are often seen within three to five days after ingestion, so the timing of her clinical signs was consistent with onion exposure."
Tsuk was taken to the VCA Capital Area Veterinary Emergency and Specialty, and their medical team followed up with Pet Poison Helpline for treatment recommendations. Once a case has been opened by a pet owner or a veterinary professional, all follow-up consultations are included. They were advised to perform bloodwork, which confirmed Tsuk's red blood cell count was extremely low and Tsuk needed a life-saving blood transfusion. Significant anemia can be detrimental as oxygen transport to tissues and organs throughout the body is compromised, potentially leading to severe, life-threatening damage. Blood transfusions in animals require intense monitoring and care to ensure dangerous reactions don't occur. They also placed her on IV fluids and provided her additional supportive care including monitoring her oxygen levels and administering antioxidants.
"After three days in emergency care, and thousands of dollars in veterinary bills to save her life, Tsuk is now doing great. We are so happy we made the decision to treat her," added Champagne. "Unfortunately, she still hasn't learned her lesson. A couple of weeks after she recuperated from the onion powder, I brought home tulips and left them in the plastic wrapper on the counter. When I came back a few minutes later, she had ripped into them. Apparently, anything in plastic must be freed. We now have a very small bottle of onion powder, and when the garlic powder runs out, we're downsizing that bottle too." Garlic powder has the same toxin and signs as onion powder but has a narrower margin of safety.
"Fortunately, the Champagne family was able to professionally treat Tsuk for her accidental poisoning, but many families are not financially prepared to handle a similar situation," said Dr. Schmid. "Our recommendation to all pet lovers is to consider pet health insurance before something critical and expensive can happen. There have been amazing advances in veterinary medicine, but many of those treatments come at increased cost. We want pet owners to make the best medical decisions for their pets based on their veterinarian's recommendations, not finances. That is why we are proud to partner with Nationwide, which has been protecting pets longer than any other pet health insurance provider in the United States.

Turkey plans Syria incursion as long as threat lingers

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his government's plan for a new military offensive in northern Syria will be on the table as long as Kurdish militants continue to pose a security threat to his country.
Erdogan also called on the United States to pull troops from east of the Euphrates River, accusing the NATO ally, once again, of training and helping Syrian Kurdish militia that Ankara considers to be terrorists.
Erdogan made the comments late Tuesday on his return from a visit to Tehran, where he met with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The conflict in Syria was among the topics they discussed, and Erdogan sought support for a new Turkish incursion against the U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish fighters.
Turkey's Hurriyet newspaper and other media published Erdogan's remarks on Wednesday.
In May, Erdogan announced plans for a new military operation in Syria to drive away Syrian Kurdish militia that Ankara says are an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK. The plans include resuming Turkish efforts to create a 30-kilometer (20-mile) safe zone along the border with Syria and enabling the voluntary return of Syrian refugees from Turkey, Erdogan has said.
Turkey has launched three major cross-border operations into Syria since 2016 and already controls some territories in the north.
“A new operation will continue to be on our agenda as long as our national security concerns are not resolved,” Erdogan said. “We want Russia and Iran to be on our side in our fight against terrorist organizations.”
He continued: “America is feeding terrorist organizations there. As soon as America withdraws or doesn't feed these terrorist organizations, our task will become easier."
Turkey has long been infuriated by U.S. support for the Syrian Kurdish fighters, who form the backbone of U.S.-led forces against the fight against the Islamic State group.
During the meeting in Tehran, Erdogan said Turkey was determined to “drive out the centers of evil” that target Turkey’s security, adding that the regions of Tel Rifaat and Manbij - where Turkey has said it plans to send troops - had turned into a “terror bed.”
The three presidents released a joint statement that appeared to refer to Turkey's concerns. The statement said they “rejected all attempts to create new realities on the ground under the pretext of combating terrorism, including illegitimate self-rule initiatives."
But Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, at a meeting with Erdogan earlier, warned Turkey against an incursion.
“Any sort of military attack in northern Syria will definitely harm Turkey, Syria and the entire region, and will benefit terrorists,” Iran’s top leader said, stressing the need to “bring the issue to an end through talks.”
Iran and Russia have backed President Bashar Assad’s government, while Turkey has supported armed opposition factions. | https://news.yahoo.com/turkey-plans-syria-incursion-long-150609143.html | 2022-07-20T15:17:16Z | https://news.yahoo.com/turkey-plans-syria-incursion-long-150609143.html | true | 16 |

Trump officials tried to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census in a move experts said would benefit Republicans despite initial doubts among some in the administration that it was legal, according to an investigative report released Wednesday by a congressional oversight committee.
The report offers a smoking gun of sorts — a secret memo the committee obtained after a two-year legal battle showing that a top Trump appointee in the Commerce Department explored apportionment as a reason to include the question.
"The Committee's investigation has exposed how a group of political appointees sought to use the census to advance an ideological agenda and potentially exclude non-citizens from the apportionment count," the report released by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform said.
It has long been speculated that the Trump administration wanted the citizenship question in order to exclude people in the country illegally from apportionment numbers.
The report includes several drafts showing how the memo evolved from recognizing that doing so would likely be unconstitutional to coming up with other justifications for adding the citizenship question.
The apportionment process uses state population counts gathered during the once-a-decade census to divide up the number of congressional seats each state gets.
Opponents feared a citizenship question would scare off Hispanics and immigrants from participating in the 2020 census, whether they were in the country legally or not. The citizenship question was blocked by the Supreme Court in 2019. In the high court's decision, Chief Justice John Roberts said the reason the Commerce Department had given for the citizenship question — it was needed for the Justice Department's enforcement of the Voting Rights Act — appeared to be contrived.
The Commerce Department oversees the Census Bureau, which conducts the count used to determine political power and the distribution of $1.5 trillion in federal funding each year. Then-Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross testified before the oversight committee that apportionment wasn't the reason for the citizenship question, even though the Commerce Department memo suggests otherwise, the House report said.
"I have never intentionally misled Congress or intentionally said anything incorrect under oath," Ross said during a 2019 hearing before the oversight committee.
According to the House committee report, during planning for the citizenship question, an adviser to the Commerce Department reached out to a Republican redistricting expert who had written that using citizen voting-age population instead of the total population for the purpose of redrawing of congressional and legislative districts could be advantageous to Republicans and non-Hispanic whites.
The August 2017 memo prepared by senior Commerce Department political appointee James Uthmeier went to the heart of of interactions by the Commerce Department and the Justice Department to come up with a contrived reason for the citizenship question, the House report said.
An initial draft of the memo raised doubts that a citizenship question would be legal since it can only be added to the once-a-decade census if the Commerce Secretary concludes that gathering that information in survey sampling is not feasible. But a later draft removed that concern and added that the Commerce Secretary had the discretion to add a citizenship question for reasons other than apportionment.
An even later draft removed apportionment as an exception to the Commerce Secretary's discretion and added "there is nothing illegal or unconstitutional about adding a citizenship question."
An early draft of the memo also noted that using a citizenship data for apportionment was likely unconstitutional and went against 200 years of precedent, but that language also was removed in later drafts.
The House report says Uthmeier researched using Voting Rights Act enforcement as a reason for the citizenship question three months before the Justice Department requested it, and hand-delivered his memo with that suggestion to the Justice Department in order to avoid a digital fingerprint.
Uthmeier, who now is working as chief of staff to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, didn't immediately respond to an email inquiry Wednesday.
In an effort to prevent future attempts at politicizing the census, members of the oversight committee on Wednesday debated a bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., that would require new questions for the head count to be vetted by Congress, and prohibit a Census Bureau director from being fired without cause.
The Trump administration named an unusually high number of political appointees without prior experience in the statistical agency to top positions in the Census Bureau. The legislation would limit the number of political appointees to three, with all other positions being filled by career civil service workers.
Even though many of the Trump administration's political efforts ultimately failed, some advocates believe they did have an impact, resulting in significantly larger undercounts of most racial and ethnic minorities in the 2020 census compared to the 2010 census.
"It is clear that legislative reforms are needed to prevent any future illegal or unconstitutional efforts to interfere with the census and chip away at our democracy," said Maloney, who chairs the oversight committee.
But Republican lawmakers said the bill would make the Census Bureau director unaccountable and limit the ability to add important questions to the census form.
"What this bill does, it more completely delegates Census Bureau activity to the bureaucracy," said U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz. "When you delegate to the bureaucracy, you are taking away the power of the American people."

‘Doctors didn’t want me to fight’: Tszyu overcomes ear surgery and Horn
Nikita Tszyu defied doctors’ orders in going ahead with his fight against Ben Horn, revealing he underwent ear surgery just days before the anticipated bout.
Tszyu was given the sternest test of his fledgling professional career, scoring a unanimous points decision in the “Battle of the Brothers” at the Hordern Pavilion. Tszyu showed he could take a punch as well as give one in earning a unanimous points decision that was scored 60-54, 60-54, 59-55 in his favour.
The brother of world title hopeful Tim Tszyu, Nikita had spent less than eight minutes in the ring during his first two fights, but in Horn found a worthy adversary that pushed him all the way through to the sixth and final round. The bout, two years after Tim earned a technical knockout victory over Jeff Horn to effectively end the career of “The Hornet”, was close and entertaining enough for Ben Horn to call for a rematch.
“Give me more than three weeks [to prepare] and we’ll do it again,” Horn said.
“If everyone wants to see a war, let’s do it.”
If a repeat is to eventuate, it won’t be until October. That’s how long Tszyu’s handlers will give him to recover after cramming three fights into short succession, following an eight-year sabbatical from the sport.
It was only after the event, staged at a sold-out Hordern Pavilion, that it was revealed the challenges Tszyu faced in the lead up.
“About 10 days ago the ear injury came to fruition,” said Tszyu’s manager Glen Jennings.
“He was quite sick from it, to the point where some balance [was affected]. The hard cartilage on the bone of the ear had separated from sparring.
“About three days later, a week out, we actually had a surgical procedure on it. It was quite sore and very inflamed.
“We only had the sutures taken out a couple of days ago.
“Nikita will go in on Friday and have that surgery done correctly and cleaned up and that cartilage attached back onto the bone.
“During that antibiotic process, it backfired on us because he had quite strong antibiotics for that surgical procedure. It made him very sick, he went downhill very quickly in terms of fitness and respiration and trying to train, really struggling from that. We’re talking only one week ago.”
Asked if there was any thought to cancelling or postponing, Jennings said: “I mentioned it once and was told to poke my head up my arse.”
Tszyu added: “The doctors were suggesting it. [But there] was too much at stake … you can’t cancel a week before.”
Tszyu’s ear injury was aggravated during an entertaining contest in which “The Butcher” was buckled during the final round. Horn, a 15-1 outsider with a mediocre professional record, briefly threatened to pull off an upset before Tszyu regained his composure to seal the result.
Tszyu landed 93 scoring shots to Horn’s body, but was also on the receiving end of telling blows to the face and body.
“He can take a shot, all credit to him, he’s tough,” Tszyu said.
“The minutes are the most important thing, being in the ring and facing someone who lands a few shots on you and pushes you back, that’s stuff that you learn.
“He didn’t necessarily hurt me but he had some weight to his punches. He was tough.
“There is so much to learn from this and I favour this experience to the quick ones.”
Earlier, Justin Hoges notched a unanimous points decision in his bout against podcaster Jordan Simi. All three judges scored it 40-36 in favour of the former footballer. The decision was met with boos from the crowd, prompting the former Maroons centre to ask “Who won the Origin?”
In his post-match speech, he said of a potential fight with Gallen: “He’s got a big head, I’ll knock his head off.”
It was hardly a performance that would concern Gallen. The former Sharks captain hinted at retirement after his last fight, a gutsy loss to Kris Terzievski. However, the chance to cash in one more time, in a bout that could be promoted along state lines, may prove hard to resist. Given Gallen knocked out Darcy Lussick and Lussick knocked out Hodges, the “G-Train” would be an overwhelming favourite.

Here Is Why Bargain Hunters Would Love Fast-paced Mover Orion Engineered Carbons (OEC)
Momentum investors typically don't time the market or "buy low and sell high." In other words, they avoid betting on cheap stocks and waiting long for them to recover. Instead, they believe that "buying high and selling higher" is the way to make far more money in lesser time.
Everyone likes betting on fast-moving trending stocks, but it isn't easy to determine the right entry point. These stocks often lose momentum when their future growth potential fails to justify their swelled-up valuation. In that phase, investors find themselves invested in shares that have limited to no upside or even a downside. So, betting on a stock just by looking at the traditional momentum parameters could be risky at times.
A safer approach could be investing in bargain stocks with recent price momentum. While the Zacks Momentum Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system) helps identify great momentum stocks by paying close attention to trends in a stock's price or earnings, our 'Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain' screen comes handy in spotting fast-moving stocks that are still attractively priced.
Orion Engineered Carbons (OEC) is one of the several great candidates that made it through the screen. While there are numerous reasons why this stock is a great choice, here are the most vital ones:
Investors' growing interest in a stock is reflected in its recent price increase. A price change of 5.9% over the past four weeks positions the stock of this producer of the chemcial additive carbon black well in this regard.
While any stock can see a spike in price for a short period, it takes a real momentum player to deliver positive returns for a longer time frame. OEC meets this criterion too, as the stock gained 5.8% over the past 12 weeks.
Moreover, the momentum for OEC is fast paced, as the stock currently has a beta of 1.67. This indicates that the stock moves 67% higher than the market in either direction.
Given this price performance, it is no surprise that OEC has a Momentum Score of B, which indicates that this is the right time to enter the stock to take advantage of the momentum with the highest probability of success.
In addition to a favorable Momentum Score, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions has helped OEC earn a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Our research shows that the momentum-effect is quite strong among Zacks Rank #1 and #2 stocks. That's because as covering analysts raise their earnings estimates for a stock, more and more investors take an interest in it, helping its price race to keep up. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Most importantly, despite possessing fast-paced momentum features, OEC is trading at a reasonable valuation. In terms of Price-to-Sales ratio, which is considered as one of the best valuation metrics, the stock looks quite cheap now. OEC is currently trading at 0.57 times its sales. In other words, investors need to pay only 57 cents for each dollar of sales.
So, OEC appears to have plenty of room to run, and that too at a fast pace.
In addition to OEC, there are several other stocks that currently pass through our 'Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain' screen. You may consider investing in them and start looking for the newest stocks that fit these criteria.
This is not the only screen that could help you find your next winning stock pick. Based on your personal investing style, you may choose from over 45 Zacks Premium Screens that are strategically created to beat the market.
However, keep in mind that the key to a successful stock-picking strategy is to ensure that it produced profitable results in the past.

New national poll from Crosswind Media & Public Relations shows Americans outside of the
state believe Texas is a good place to start a business (53%) and raise a family (52%).
AUSTIN, Texas, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new national survey from Crosswind Media & Public Relations and Rasmussen Reports asked Americans outside of Texas their opinion of the Lone Star State. The poll revealed the following results:
- 27% of Americans polled have a very positive view of Texas.
- 18% have a somewhat positive view.
- 14% of Americans polled said they have a somewhat negative view of the state.
- 17% held a very negative view.
- 21% of those surveyed held a neutral view of the state.
"Overall, the state of the Texas brand continues to be strong and durable," said Crosswind President and CEO Thomas Graham, "with Americans continuing to view Texas favorably and recognizing the Texas business climate and family values as favorable traits."
The poll showed that Americans outside the state continue to hold a positive view about Texas being a good environment to start a business (53%) and raise a family (52%). When it comes to Texas's business environment, only 11% of people surveyed had a somewhat bad view, and 12% held a very bad view. Additionally, only 14% of survey participants held a somewhat bad view of Texas being a good state to raise a family, with 18% of Americans having a very bad view.
"These are challenging times for the nation and for Texans," said Graham, noting that the survey of 845 American adult non-Texans was conducted July 11-12 in the midst of national headlines about inflation, rising gas prices, power grid resiliency, border security, and school shootings. "Despite these headlines, most Americans believe what Texans rightly know: the brand of the Lone Star State remains strong."
"Rising gas prices could account for an interesting twist in the survey," said Graham. He points out that while 56% of respondents believe Texas is a very good (21%) or somewhat good (35%) travel destination for vacations, 61% say they are somewhat unlikely (20%) or very unlikely (41%) to travel to the state for a vacation within the next year.
Graham is also author of the Branding Texas newsletter that monitors attitudes about the state in national and international media coverage.

One of the black children who was snubbed by a Sesame Place character Monday is traumatized by the incident, the family’s lawyer said.
One of the young girls is reportedly isolating with their grandmother in an attempt to regain stability, B’Ivory LaMarr, the family’s attorney, told TMZ.
In a now-viral video, the sisters can be seen waving to Rosita in an attempt to interact with the character while in Philadelphia. However, the character ignores both girls and hugs a white child before moving on, as seen in the clip, which has racked up millions of views in multiple re-posts.
LaMarr said that both girls were overcome with emotion and incredibly upset that they were treated differently than the white child.
“Their hearts were completely shattered by a character,” said LaMarr in an interview with NBC10.
“And tickets are not cheap. This is something these young girls were looking forward to. Words can’t describe the type of grief they are going through right now.”
According to the lawyer, one of the girls asked their mom immediately after if she had done something wrong to warrant being ignored.
“Right after the character passed them, there was another little girl next to them who was of a different race and [Rosita] hugged her,” their mom Jodi Brown told CNN. “At that time I had already stopped recording the video. … I was upset so I stopped the video because I was like ‘what just happened?'”
“My daughter was just sad. She asked ‘ mom what did I do? What happened’ and I said you didn’t do anything. Some people are just mean people, ” Brown added.
LaMarr said that the move to isolate one of the girls with her grandmother is to help shield her from publicity in a safe environment. The family is also looking into getting the siblings into therapy to help them cope.
Sesame Place released a statement on Monday saying that the performer did not use the “no” hand gesture at “any specific person,” but was using a gesture to respond to multiple guests.
“The Rosita performer did not intentionally ignore the girls and is devastated about the misunderstanding,” read the statement.
“We spoke to the family and extend our apologies and invited them back for a special meet-and-greet opportunity with our characters.”
On Tuesday, Sesame Place announced that all staff will undergo bias training as a result of the incident.
Several people online including former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland slammed the seemingly weak gesture.
“Those gorgeous girls will never forget that feeling,” said Rowland.
“You should be ASHAMED of yourselves for this pathetic statement!”
According to LaMarr, the family is considering filing a lawsuit against Sesame Place. | https://nypost.com/2022/07/20/girls-snubbed-by-sesame-place-shattered-amid-racism-allegations/ | 2022-07-20T15:26:47Z | https://nypost.com/2022/07/20/girls-snubbed-by-sesame-place-shattered-amid-racism-allegations/ | false | 1 |
LOS ANGELES, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After three years of constant testing and refinement, Soppycid has succeeded in eliminating the flaws in the conventional water balloon product. Soppycid also patented the notion of reusable water balloons at this time. These revolutionary new water balloons have entirely re-imagined the splash water balloon and are ideal for families and children who want to have some fun and stay cool on a hot day.
The Time of Traditional Water Balloons Is Over
One con of traditional splash water balloons is that they are single-use products; consumers can only use them once before throwing them away.
This can be wasteful and expensive, especially if consumers have a large group of people to play with. Another con is that traditional water balloons often leak; this can be frustrating and cause consumers to lose water quickly.
Most consumers dread filling water balloons. It is a tedious and time-consuming process that often leaves people feeling frustrated.
Finally, traditional splash water balloons are often made with inferior latex, which makes them more likely to break. This can be a big problem if consumers are trying to have a fun and long water fight. All these factors make traditional splash water balloons less desirable.
Soppycid has now provided a better way.
What makes Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons so Desirable?
The reusable water balloon is made from latex-free silicone, a soft, safe material that can be reused repeatedly. Fill the balloon with water, seal it off with its magnet, and enjoy.
When finished, users can simply rinse the balloon and let it dry. The durable material will withstand many uses, so consumers can enjoy summer splashes for years to come.
Being an eco-friendly product, using reusable water balloons can reduce environmental impact and help save our planet.
Not only is the reusable water balloon eco-friendly, but it is also a great value! Each balloon can be reused multiple times so that you will save money in the long run. Plus, the soft material is safe for all ages, be they kids, adults, or pets, making this a great option for family fun.
Another splendid feature of these reusable water balloons is the magnetic self-sealing feature. This excellent feature makes refilling the water balloons easy and quick for consumers without the need for manual sealing.
Simply fill the balloon with water and close it. The magnetic self-sealing will automatically seal the balloons. All of this will now take only a second, allowing for uninterrupted fun.
This is also a notable feature because this ensures no water leakage.
Water balloons are a fun summer activity for kids. Children can use them in water balloon fights, water gun battles, or play around with them in the pool. If consumers are looking for a great summer gift for the kids, why not get them some reusable water balloons?
The world's first reusable water balloon is sure to make a splash.
Given all the benefits of Soppycid reusable water balloons, it is time to ditch the conventional disposable water balloons and switch to a sustainable, eco-friendly option this summer. So, gather together and have some fun with Soppycid.
About Soppycid:
Leon created Soppycid after 3 years of continuous testing and improvement. The water balloon has received a patent for its invention. Since its launch in 2022, it has received much praise from its users.
Soppycid patented design ensures the balloons stay inflated and do not burst until you are ready. Moreover, they are reusable so that you can have fun over and over again.

NEW YORK (AP) — The publisher of Simon & Schuster’s flagship imprint, Dana Canedy, is stepping down to concentrate on a sequel to a book Denzel Washington adapted last year for a film of the same name, “A Journal for Jordan.”
Canedy, a former New York Times editor and writer and the first Black woman to be hired as publisher of Simon & Schuster, will step down July 27. Her next book has been acquired by Simon & Schuster and she will continue there as an advisor and to work on some projects she brought to the company, including former Vice President Mike Pence’s memoir.
Her sequel to “A Journal for Jordan,” currently untitled, is scheduled for 2024. “A Journal for Jordan” is the story of Canedy’s late partner, First Sgt. Charles M. King, and the journal he wrote for their son while he was serving in the Iraq War. King was killed in combat in 2006.
The movie was directed by Washington and starred Michael B. Jordan as King and Chanté Adams as Canedy.
“I am pleased to continue to be a part of the Simon & Schuster family, collaborating with the team to bring readers books by these important authors,” Canedy said in a statement Tuesday. “I had not quite expected the profound impact that our movie would have on me. And after the overwhelming response to it, prompting daily requests for a follow-up to my first book, I concluded that the time is right to write the sequel to ‘A Journal for Jordan.’”
Simon & Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp, who announced Canedy’s departure in a company memo, will serve as publisher of the imprint “for the foreseeable future.” He previously held the job before succeeding the late Carolyn Reidy in 2020 as CEO.
“Over the past two years, Dana Canedy has improved and bolstered the Simon & Schuster imprint in innumerable ways: by attracting incredibly talented authors and editors; by offering us fresh eyes on our practices through her perspective as an award-winning journalist and bestselling author; and by bringing vitality, voice, and humanity to Simon & Schuster, as I knew she would,” Karp said in a statement.
“Knowing what a great team Dana has built and sustained, I’m looking forward to working more directly and deeply on the many outstanding books we publish.” | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/entertainment-news/simon-schuster-publisher-steps-down-to-work-on-book/ | 2022-07-20T15:29:00Z | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/entertainment-news/simon-schuster-publisher-steps-down-to-work-on-book/ | false | 31 |

What should I buy for dog baths?
Dogs are man’s best friends, and it is for this reason that we probably treat them as human — they watch TV with us, ride co-pilot in the front seat, accompany us to the local cafe and sleep in our beds. While doing all these activities with our fluffy pets, their hygiene should come first.
Dog baths are much needed, so dirt and sand don’t get everywhere. The shampoo is a must, and the dog’s hair may determine what dog shampoo works best. If you prefer to wash your pup outside instead of in the bathtub, knowing what dog tub suits your needs may require research. Qualities like size, material, attachments, plugs and hoses are items to take into consideration too. Additionally, you’ll want to find the right brush that will get rid of excess fur and leave your pet’s coat silky smooth.

Cooking pans
With the right tools, cooking becomes a breeze instead of a chore and can add so much more to the experience and perhaps more importantly, the taste. Two of the most essential tools in any kitchen are cast iron and stainless steel pans.
Like most things, there are several factors to consider when determining which will work better for your kitchen. Stainless steel pans are lightweight and less reactive than cast iron pans but provide even cooking and are easier to clean. Cast iron pans, by contrast, are more durable and more reactive but are heavier and more challenging to clean. In the end, the primary difference between the two comes down to what kinds of foods you most enjoy cooking.
Cast iron pans
Cast iron pans have a centuries-long history. They’re made by melting blocks of iron and steel together, layering them together and then adding chemicals to raise their carbon levels. After that, the molten metal is poured into a mold made of sand, water and powdered clay. The result is a rugged pan with a signature textured exterior.
The first known use of cast iron pans dates back to ancient China during the Han Dynasty. In the 16th century, they became popular and spread across Europe. However, it wasn’t until 1707 when Abraham Darby patented the sand-casting method, which became the standard way of creating cast iron today. In the last hundred years, cast iron pans have seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to their incredible durability and ability to retain high heat.
What you’ll love about cast iron pans
Durability
Cast iron pans are some of the most durable cookware options. Thanks to their design, the cookware is thought to last for hundreds of years with the proper care. In most cases, cast iron pans should never be cleaned with harsh detergents or washed in a dishwasher; they should be hand-washed and undergo a process called seasoning. Seasoning is the process that creates a nonstick layer on your cookware by rinsing with salt, water and oil. Coating a cast iron pan with oil ensures that the seasoning is protected and will continue to operate at peak performance.
Heat conduction
Cast iron pans are incredible heat conductors. Their densely packed design means cast iron pans can withstand and retain high amounts of heat for more extended periods than most other cookware, making them suitable for baking and broiling. Additionally, cast iron pans distribute intense heat evenly, ensuring things like meats are cooked thoroughly without doing any damage to the pan’s material.
Visual appeal
Cast iron pans are beautiful. In many contemporary restaurant settings, chefs have begun to utilize cast irons for serving dishes and cookware due to their elegant look. Some examples of cast iron use include dishes like fajitas or dutch babies, where the cast iron adds to the dish’s appeal while making it look stylish and unique in presentation.
What you should consider about cast iron pans
Weight
Because of their layered metal construction, cast iron cookware can be hefty. This adds to its durability, but on average, a standard 12-inch cast iron pan can weigh up to 8 pounds, roughly twice the weight of comparable pans. In some instances, this can make moving cast iron pans quite a hassle, especially for those with wrist and hand issues.
Maintenance
Maintaining the quality of a cast iron pan relies on a process called seasoning. When done correctly, cast iron pans can last a lifetime. However, if not handled with care, cast iron pans are susceptible to rusting and severe scratching. This also affects the pan’s nonstick quality, and when not occasionally seasoned, it leads to more food sticking to the surface.
Hot handles
Cast iron pans retain heat incredibly well. This can act as both a blessing and a curse, as the metal handles of these pans are incredibly hot when used in an oven or broiler. With this in mind, it’s essential to be mindful of a cast iron’s handles and use oven mitts or something similar when holding it.
Best cast iron pans
Some top choices for cast iron skillets include the Victoria Cast Iron Frying Pan and the Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron 3 Skillet Bundle. The Victoria skillet has two side handles for easy handling and a spout to help with excess grease. The Lodge Cast Iron Skillet Bundle is an excellent choice for those looking for a cast iron set. The 8-, 10.5- and 12-inch skillets ensure maximum versatility for all types of dishes.
Stainless steel pans
Stainless steel is one of the most popular materials for cookware today. It’s made through cladding, in which layers of metal (typically aluminum or copper) are bonded together to help heat evenly conduct throughout the cookware.
Like cast iron pans, stainless steel pans are incredibly durable. Additionally, the pans contain chromium, which creates a passive layer of oxide on its exterior surface, ensuring protection against things like scratching or corrosion.
What you’ll love about stainless steel pans
Versatility
Stainless steel pans are extremely versatile. They can be used to cook just about everything from breakfast options like eggs and bacon to dinners like meats and sauteed vegetables. Stainless steel pans are considered non-reactive, unlike cast iron pans, which means acidic foods like sauces and wine will not damage the exterior. Additionally, they can be used in any situation, from stovetop to oven use.
Maintenance
Unlike cast iron pans, stainless steel pans don’t need to be seasoned to be cleaned. They can be easily cleaned with soap and water and are usually dishwasher-safe.
Quick heating
Since they have a layered metal construction, stainless steel pans heat quickly. Many stainless steel pans have either aluminum or copper cores which are great heat conductors, meaning that they don’t require the time cast iron pans need to heat up to usable temperatures.
What you should consider about stainless steel pans
Poorer heat conduction
Unlike cast iron pans, stainless steel pans heat retain and lose heat rather quickly. This means that food may cook more rapidly but also may cook more unevenly. Cast iron pans are designed to trap heat, whereas stainless steel pans are created to be more versatile.
Difficulty cleaning
Food is more likely to stick on stainless steel pans, since most stainless steel pans don’t have naturally nonstick surfaces. As a result, they require much more effort to clean and need soaking in soap and water to thoroughly remove any leftover food debris.
Best stainless steel pans
Some high-quality stainless steel pan options include All-Clad D3 Stainless Cookware 12-Inch Fry Pan and Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Stainless 5.5-Quart Stainless Steel Saute Pan. All-Clad is a leader in cookware and offers three-ply construction, ensuring quick and even heating in all of its pans. Similarly, Cuisinart creates cost-effective pans that are both high-quality and durable.
Should you get a cast iron pan or stainless steel pan?
Both cast iron and stainless steel pans are excellent choices for any kitchen. Ultimately, the choice comes down to what you wish to use the pan for. Though harder to maintain, cast iron pans are great for baking and broiling and can double as beautiful presentations for guests. Stainless steel pans, by contrast, are a much more versatile pan that’s great for everyday use. Both pans are durable and attractive and will look good in any kitchen.

Key Trends
The key trends in HVAC filters technology are:
Increased Efficiency: Newer HVAC filters are designed to be more efficient than ever before. This means that they can remove more contaminants from the air while still allowing air to flow freely.
Compact Size: HVAC filters have gotten smaller over the years, making them easier to install and less obtrusive.
Multifunctionality: Some HVAC filters now come with added features, such as activated carbon filters that can remove odors and VOCs from the air.
Wireless Technology: Newer HVAC filters can be controlled wirelessly, making it easier to monitor and adjust filter settings.
Key Drivers
One of the most important drivers is the increasing awareness of the importance of indoor air quality. Poor indoor air quality can lead to a variety of health problems, including respiratory infections, asthma, and other respiratory illnesses. As more people become aware of the dangers of poor indoor air quality, they are increasingly looking for ways to improve the quality of the air they breathe.
Another key driver of the HVAC filters market is the increasing stringency of government regulations regarding indoor air quality. In many countries, the government is mandating that businesses and homeowners take steps to improve the quality of the air inside their buildings. This is driving up demand for HVAC filters that can help to remove pollutants from the air.

Bangladesh does not fully meet the minimum standards to eliminate human trafficking, still on tier 2: US Report
The government identified 1,138 potential trafficking victims, a significant decrease from 6,866 in the previous reporting period
Although Bangladesh has made praise-worthy strides in combatting human trafficking, it lags behind in key areas, including having adequate victim protection measures, according to the the US State Department's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report.
Bangladesh placed in "Tier 2" for the third consecutive year, as the government had not fully met the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.
The "2022 Trafficking in Persons Report", however, praised the government's "significant" efforts to this end.
"The government demonstrated overall increasing efforts compared to the previous reporting period, considering the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on its anti-trafficking capacity. Therefore, Bangladesh remains on Tier 2," said the 2022 TIP report released on Tuesday.
"These efforts included increasing investigations, prosecutions, and convictions against human traffickers, including upholding the dismissal of a member of parliament involved in a labour trafficking case," said the report that covers 188 countries, including the US.
The annual report ranks governments based on their perceived efforts to acknowledge and combat human trafficking.
It ranks countries in three tiers. Countries assessed as meeting the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 or TVPA's minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking are placed on Tier 1.
The countries which do not meet the minimum TVPA standards but make efforts are placed on Tier 2.
In 2020, 2021 and this year, Bangladesh has been ranked among the countries on Tier 2.
The countries which do not meet the minimum TVPA standards and do not make any effort to do so are placed in Tier 3.
Bangladesh's south Asian neighbours India, Pakistan, Nepal, Maldives are also in the Tier 2, while Bhutan is in the Tier 2 watch list and Afghanistan in Tier 3.
About Bangladesh, the latest report mentioned that in August 2021, the seven anti-trafficking tribunals resumed operations and the Rangpur and Rajshahi tribunals became the third and fourth courts to record trafficking convictions.
"The government also ratified the protocol to the ILO's forced labour convention as part of efforts against forced labour. However, the government did not meet the minimum standards in several key areas," read the report.
It said that Bangladesh identified fewer potential victims than in the previous reporting period and maintained severely inadequate victim protection, especially for Bangladeshi trafficking victims identified overseas.
The government identified 1,138 potential trafficking victims, a significant decrease from 6,866 in the previous reporting period; however, the government did not report details of this number and, in the past, had included smuggled migrants in the overall number, says the report.
In comparison, NGOs and international organisations reported identifying at least 580 sex trafficking victims, 6,378 labor trafficking victims, and 717 victims of unspecified exploitation.
"The government did not uniformly employ standard operating procedures (SOPs) to identify trafficking victims among vulnerable populations, resulting in the penalisation of some returning migrant workers and potential sex trafficking victims. In addition, the government pursued policy changes that would force potential labour trafficking victims to go through civil arbitration prior to initiating criminal investigations," it further read.
The government continued to allow recruitment agencies to charge high recruitment fees to migrant workers and did not consistently address sub-agents conducting illegal recruitment operations, leaving workers vulnerable to trafficking, the report noted.
Regarding Rohingyas, it said that Bangladesh did not sufficiently investigate and prosecute trafficking cases involving the exploitation of Rohingya refugees.
The report made some recommendations including increasing prosecutions and seeking convictions for trafficking crimes, particularly of labour traffickers and complicit government officials, while respecting due process.
"Now, the goal [for Bangladesh] is to be in Tier-1. We always encourage the Bangladesh government to strongly consider recommendations that we put at the top of the report," said a female official, asking not to be named at a background briefing on the TIP report by the US embassy in Dhaka last week.
Regarding the consequences for a country moving down from Tier 2 to Tier 3, an embassy official said, "A country that moves downward faces automatic cut-off in millions of dollars of assistance. It does not impact humanitarian assistance and certain trade-related assistance, but very dramatically cuts the amount of money the US can provide." | https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/bangladesh-does-not-fully-meet-minimum-standards-eliminate-human-trafficking-still-tier-2 | 2022-07-20T15:35:55Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/bangladesh-does-not-fully-meet-minimum-standards-eliminate-human-trafficking-still-tier-2 | false | 2 |

Turkey plans Syria incursion as long as threat lingers
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his government’s plan for a new military offensive in northern Syria will be on the table as long as Kurdish militants continue to pose a security threat to his country.
Erdogan also called on the United States to pull troops from east of the Euphrates River, accusing the NATO ally, once again, of training and helping Syrian Kurdish militia that Ankara considers to be terrorists.
Erdogan made the comments late Tuesday on his return from a visit to Tehran, where he met with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The conflict in Syria was among the topics they discussed, and Erdogan sought support for a new Turkish incursion against the U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish fighters.
Turkey’s Hurriyet newspaper and other media published Erdogan’s remarks on Wednesday.
In May, Erdogan announced plans for a new military operation in Syria to drive away Syrian Kurdish militia that Ankara says are an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK. The plans include resuming Turkish efforts to create a 30-kilometer (20-mile) safe zone along the border with Syria and enabling the voluntary return of Syrian refugees from Turkey, Erdogan has said.
Turkey has launched three major cross-border operations into Syria since 2016 and already controls some territories in the north.
“A new operation will continue to be on our agenda as long as our national security concerns are not resolved,” Erdogan said. “We want Russia and Iran to be on our side in our fight against terrorist organizations.”
He continued: “America is feeding terrorist organizations there. As soon as America withdraws or doesn’t feed these terrorist organizations, our task will become easier.”
Turkey has long been infuriated by U.S. support for the Syrian Kurdish fighters, who form the backbone of U.S.-led forces against the fight against the Islamic State group.
During the meeting in Tehran, Erdogan said Turkey was determined to “drive out the centers of evil” that target Turkey’s security, adding that the regions of Tel Rifaat and Manbij - where Turkey has said it plans to send troops - had turned into a “terror bed.”
The three presidents released a joint statement that appeared to refer to Turkey’s concerns. The statement said they “rejected all attempts to create new realities on the ground under the pretext of combating terrorism, including illegitimate self-rule initiatives.”
But Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, at a meeting with Erdogan earlier, warned Turkey against an incursion.
“Any sort of military attack in northern Syria will definitely harm Turkey, Syria and the entire region, and will benefit terrorists,” Iran’s top leader said, stressing the need to “bring the issue to an end through talks.”

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a health alert warning parents and paediatricians that the potentially dangerous parechovirus pathogen is circulating. The agency said it has received multiple reports of infections since May and encouraged healthcare providers to test for it when patients present certain symptoms. The CDC said most of the reports entail the PeV-A3 strain, which is commonly associated with severe disease. The agency did not say which states reported infections or whether there were any deaths associated with the virus. Parechoviruses are common childhood pathogens similar to enteroviruses such as the poliovirus, said Dr Rick Malley, an infectious disease specialist at Boston Children’s Hospital. There are four types of the virus, of which only PeV-A is known to cause disease in humans. PeV-A has multiple strains, but PeV-A3 is most commonly associated with severe disease in newborns, the elderly and immunocompromised people, experts said. New Covid-19 variants are better at evading antibodies, doctors say Parechoviruses are not new to the USA, Malley said, but surveillance was limited until a few years ago. So it’s unclear if they’re more prevalent compared with previous years. “They are around us all the time, and they have been. They typically cause more diseases in the summer and fall,” he said. “What is slightly unusual is that the CDC is reporting them from a few months back, suggesting that ... the natural epidemiology of these viruses has changed in the context of Covid.” Parechoviruses can range from asymptomatic to severe illness, experts said. The CDC said symptoms most commonly seen in children six months to five years old include respiratory tract infection, fever and a rash. In infants younger than three months, symptoms may include fever, sepsis-like syndrome or neurologic illness, including seizures and meningitis. Meningitis is inflammation of fluid and membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, according to the Mayo Clinic, and can cause headaches, fever and a stiff neck. “Any evidence that the child is not thriving, fever, lethargy, irritability, lack of interest in food or in drinking, seizures, uncontrolled movements ... those are very important signs that if the parent notices them to immediately contact their physician,” Malley said. The CDC said infected people can transmit the virus regardless of whether they’re asymptomatic or presenting symptoms by coming in contact with faeces and through respiratory routes. A person can be contagious from one to three weeks through the respiratory tract and as long as six months through the gastrointestinal tract, the agency said. Although someone could be infectious for a long time, Malley said the actual illness may last only a few days. Overall, severe disease and death from parechovirus is very rare. Most children get it at least once before the age of five but may not know because they had a mild or asymptomatic infection and weren’t tested for it, said Dr Claire Bocchini, an infectious disease specialist at Texas Children’s Hospital. In rare cases, the virus could damage the liver, brain and lungs, Malley said. It can cause permanent damage to the brain and the patient could die. There is no specific treatment for parechovirus, but Malley encouraged parents to see a clinician if their baby experiences symptoms. To manage symptoms at home, Malley recommends over-the-counter medication to control the baby’s fever, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and plenty of hydration. One of the most important ways to prevent parechovirus transmission is to practice good hand hygiene. | https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3185992/us-issues-health-alert-warning-new-parents-about?utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-07-20T15:40:03Z | https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3185992/us-issues-health-alert-warning-new-parents-about?utm_source=rss_feed | true | 1 |
This weird Japanese dessert flushes all the others down the drain.
If you’re a small business owner who wants customers to travel from far and wide to visit your store, you could always invest in flashy ads or seek out celebrity endorsements. Or, you could do what this owner in Yamanashi’s Kiyosato Kogen did, and enlist the power of poop to help support your business.
▼ Kiyosato Restaurant and Cottage Boku
Kiyosato Kogen is a popular summer resort destination, and in addition to serving meals to customers and providing accommodation, Kiyosato Restaurant and Cottage Boku also sells souvenirs and desserts, one of which is an ice cream called “Ku Soft“.
▼ The sign out the front reads: “The Fabled Ku Soft“.
The innocent-sounding sweet, which incorporates the “ku” from “soft kuriimu” (“soft cream”, Japanese for “soft serve”) in its name, seems no different to any other ice cream at first, but this brightly coloured flag soon makes its difference known.
▼ Is that…poop?
Our reporter Haruka Takagi was travelling through the area when she saw this sign, and she immediately pulled over to find out more about it.
▼ Sure enough, when she looked at the menu on the front door…
▼ …there it was — the Kai ☆ Un “Ku Soft”, for 550 yen!
The poster for the sweet was adorned in adorable little poops, and Haruka realised that what she first thought was a hand-drawn bee on all the signs was actually a fly, swarming around a delicious pile of excrement. The poster alone made her smile so she stepped inside and placed an order for the ice cream with the friendly looking gentleman at the soft serve corner.
It only took about 30 seconds for him to put it all together, and when he handed the ice cream to Haruka, her smile grew even wider.
▼ Look at that poop!
Haruka had never seen a poop quite like it, and making it even more special was the cute image of a fly on the wooden handle.
▼ To top it all off, the ice cream sat in a custom-made container that resembled a Japanese-style squat toilet.
Haruka couldn’t stop laughing at all the fun details, especially the long turd-like karinto brown sugar stick that was jutting out of the soft mound of poop.
▼ Soft and hard poops, together in one bowl.
It was a hefty load, and as the weight of it all began to weigh her arm down, Haruka decided the time had come for her to try her first taste of poo. Dipping her spoon into the toilet bowl, which made it look as if the fly had started buzzing around the turd, Haruka had to look away from the ice cream as she placed the soft brown cream in her mouth.
▼ Mmmmm…would you like a taste?
It was actually really delicious — creamy, soft and chocolatey, which is just how Haruka likes her ice cream. However, things began to get messy as she reached the bottom of the toilet bowl, when she discovered a mound of crunchy cornflakes, and the stains began to appear.
▼ Wonder what reactions this’ll get on the ‘Gram?
Haruka may have made a mess of the bowl, but that’s the whole point here, where the aim of the game is to have fun with your food.
▼ The bowl even comes with a tongue-in-cheek “TOTU” logo instead of “TOTO”, the name of the famous Japanese toilet manufacturer.
After polishing off the last of her turd, Haruka spoke with the owner and his wife to find out the origin story behind the unusual creation. They told her it was actually the brainchild of the former owner, who sold them the site a few years ago.
▼ Looking closely at this sign reveals the name of the former restaurant, “Kitchen Perrruche”, can still be seen at the top.
The ice cream was first created about 20 years ago, and often became a talking point online and with various media outlets. When the current store owners set up shop, the former owner told them that the ice cream had a lot of fans, so there were hopes that they would continue its legacy.
▼ Today, the store that originally sold Ku Soft sits abandoned just behind Boku.
The current owners told Haruka they initially wanted to decline the offer to continue selling the ice cream, seeing as it wasn’t a very elegant product. Plus, they had their hearts set on making their “Fresh Cheese Soft Serve” the signature product instead.
▼ The Fresh Cheese Soft Serve is on the menu for 450 yen, and it’s incredibly delicious, like a cheesecake-flavoured ice cream.
However, the owners realised it would be a shame for such a popular product to disappear, and they thought it would be nice to sell something that brought a smile to people’s faces. So they decided to continue selling the turd-like ice cream, and they’re glad they did, as customers who enjoyed the ice cream years ago regularly pop in to buy it, while also telling them how happy they are that they can still purchase it.
▼ The owners have now fully embraced the power of poop, filling their souvenir section with all sorts of poo-related merchandise.
The ice cream is no gimmick, as the owners say they make all their ice creams with a great deal of attention to taste. There are many shops in Kiyosato Kogen that serve soft serve ice cream, and they all have different flavours, but no ice cream is quite as memorable as Boku’s poop one. Not only does it catch the eye with its surprising appearance, it’s also said to give you a bit of luck, as it’s listed on the menu as “Kai ☆ Un”, which is a play on the word “unko” (“poop”) and “kaiun” (“better fortune”).
Lucky ice cream that looks like poop is yet another reason to fall in love with Japan, and it’s nice to know the longstanding tradition of making people smile with poop remains alive and well in this rural part of the country. Long live the humble poop, in all its deliciously edible forms!

- Published findings demonstrate that HyBryte™ treatment statistically significantly reduced CTCL lesion size
- HyBryte™ has potential to address a critical gap in treatment of early-stage CTCL
PRINCETON, N.J., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Soligenix, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) (Soligenix or the Company), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products to treat rare diseases where there is an unmet medical need, announced today that the results of its successful Phase 3 FLASH (Fluorescent Light Activated Synthetic Hypericin) study evaluating HyBryte™ (synthetic hypericin) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) has been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Dermatology.
"The peer reviewed publication of these data in JAMA Dermatology is a testament and further validation to the importance of the findings for the scientific and CTCL disease communities," stated Ellen Kim, MD, Professor of Dermatology and Medical Director, Dermatology Clinic, Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and the Lead Principal Investigator for the Phase 3 FLASH study. "With its chronic course and major impact on patient quality of life, CTCL is an orphan disease in urgent need of additional treatment options that are well-tolerated and safe over the long haul. The results from this Phase 3 study, which is the largest double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in CTCL to date, represents an important leap forward in the development of potential therapies to meet this unmet medical need."
The published findings demonstrate that HyBryte™ treatment statistically significantly reduced lesion size, with the treatment response further improving over successive 6-week treatment cycles. The primary endpoint evaluated the CAILS (Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity) score of three treated index lesions and success was defined as ≥50% reduction in CAILS score relative to baseline. Lesion response continuously improved with treatment duration. After the first 6-week treatment window, 16% of patients had a response (p=0.04 versus patients with 6 weeks of placebo treatment; primary endpoint). This response rate continued to significantly increase to 49% through 18 weeks of treatment (p<0.0001 versus patients with 6-week hypericin or placebo treatment). Throughout the study, HyBryte™ was safe and well-tolerated. Importantly, HyBryte™ was observed to perform similarly against both patch and thicker plaque lesions characteristic of CTCL.
"In treating CTCL, which is a chronic cancer with no cure, long-term safety is of paramount concern. Most current treatment options for CTCL are associated with significant safety concerns, including black-box warnings. HyBryte™ treatment has demonstrated strong and rapid efficacy with a very benign safety profile," stated Dr. Richard Straube, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Soligenix. "This is of significant benefit to patients living with this difficult disease. The substantial increase in efficacy with longer treatment and the similar performance against both patch and plaque lesions are particularly encouraging. As one of the largest studies in CTCL, this study and this publication establishes a new benchmark in CTCL treatment."
JAMA Dermatology is an international peer-reviewed journal published online weekly and in print/ online issue 12 times a year. It is one of the highest ranked journals in dermatology, with an acceptance rate of 9%. The journal, which has been in continuous publication since 1882, publishes studies in the areas of medical, surgical, pediatric, geriatric dermatology, oncologic and aesthetic dermatology. It prioritizes clinical and laboratory studies that reveal new information pertinent to the interests and needs of the medical dermatologist, dermatologic surgeon, and all those concerned with state-of-the-art care of cutaneous disease. The journal believes that knowledge derived from well-designed clinical trials and studies of cost-effectiveness are especially important for improving the practice of dermatology. JAMA Dermatology is a member of the JAMA Network family of journals, which includes JAMA, 11 JAMA Network specialty journals, and JAMA Network Open.
HyBryte™ (research name SGX301) is a novel, first-in-class, photodynamic therapy utilizing safe, visible light for activation. The active ingredient in HyBryte™ is synthetic hypericin, a potent photosensitizer that is topically applied to skin lesions that is taken up by the malignant T-cells, and then activated by visible light 16 to 24 hours later. The use of visible light in the red-yellow spectrum has the advantage of penetrating more deeply into the skin (much more so than ultraviolet light) and therefore potentially treating deeper skin disease and thicker plaques and lesions. This treatment approach avoids the risk of secondary malignancies (including melanoma) inherent with the frequently employed DNA-damaging drugs and other phototherapy that are dependent on ultraviolet exposure. Combined with photoactivation, hypericin has demonstrated significant anti-proliferative effects on activated normal human lymphoid cells and inhibited growth of malignant T-cells isolated from CTCL patients. In a published Phase 2 clinical study in CTCL, patients experienced a statistically significant (p=0.04) improvement with topical hypericin treatment whereas the placebo was ineffective. HyBryte™ has received orphan drug and fast track designations from the FDA, as well as orphan designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The Phase 3 FLASH trial enrolled a total of 169 patients (166 evaluable) with Stage IA, IB or IIA CTCL. The trial consisted of three treatment cycles. Treatments were administered twice weekly for the first 6 weeks and treatment response was determined at the end of the 8th week of each cycle. In the first double-blind treatment cycle, 116 patients received HyBryte™ treatment (0.25% synthetic hypericin) and 50 received placebo treatment of their index lesions. A total of 16% of the patients receiving HyBryte™ achieved at least a 50% reduction in their lesions (graded using a standard measurement of dermatologic lesions, the CAILS score) compared to only 4% of patients in the placebo group at 8 weeks (p=0.04) during the first treatment cycle (primary endpoint). HyBryte™ treatment in the first cycle was safe and well tolerated.
In the second open-label treatment cycle (Cycle 2), all patients received HyBryte™ treatment of their index lesions. Evaluation of 155 patients in this cycle (110 receiving 12 weeks of HyBryte™ treatment and 45 receiving 6 weeks of placebo treatment followed by 6 weeks of HyBryte™ treatment), demonstrated that the response rate among the 12-week treatment group was 40% (p<0.0001 vs the placebo treatment rate in Cycle 1). Comparison of the 12-week and 6-week treatment groups also revealed a statistically significant improvement (p<0.0001) between the two groups, indicating that continued treatment results in better outcomes. HyBryte™ continued to be safe and well tolerated. Additional analyses also indicated that HyBryte™ is equally effective in treating both plaque (response 42%, p<0.0001 relative to placebo treatment in Cycle 1) and patch (response 37%, p=0.0009 relative to placebo treatment in Cycle 1) lesions of CTCL, a particularly relevant finding given the historical difficulty in treating plaque lesions in particular.
The third (optional) treatment cycle (Cycle 3) was focused on safety and all patients could elect to receive HyBryte™ treatment of all their lesions. Of note, 66% of patients elected to continue with this optional compassionate use / safety cycle of the study. Of the subset of patients that received HyBryte™ throughout all 3 cycles of treatment, 49% of them demonstrated a positive treatment response (p<0.0001 vs patients receiving placebo in Cycle 1). Moreover, in a subset of patients evaluated in this cycle, it was demonstrated that HyBryte™ is not systemically available, consistent with the general safety of this topical product observed to date. At the end of Cycle 3, HyBryte™ continued to be well tolerated despite extended and increased use of the product to treat multiple lesions.
Overall safety of HyBryte™ is a critical attribute of this treatment and was monitored throughout the three treatment cycles (Cycles 1, 2 and 3) and the 6-month follow-up period. HyBryte's™ mechanism of action is not associated with DNA damage, making it a safer alternative than currently available therapies, all of which are associated with significant and sometimes fatal, side effects. Predominantly these include the risk of melanoma and other malignancies, as well as the risk of significant skin damage and premature skin aging. Currently available treatments are only approved in the context of previous treatment failure with other modalities and there is no approved front-line therapy available. Within this landscape, treatment of CTCL is strongly motivated by the safety risk of each product. HyBryte™ potentially represents the safest available efficacious treatment for CTCL. With no systemic absorption, a compound that is not mutagenic and a light source that is not carcinogenic, there is no evidence to date of any potential safety issues.
The Phase 3 CTCL clinical study was partially funded by the National Cancer Institute via a Phase II SBIR grant (#1R44CA210848-01A1) awarded to Soligenix, Inc.
CTCL is a class of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a type of cancer of the white blood cells that are an integral part of the immune system. Unlike most NHLs which generally involve B-cell lymphocytes (involved in producing antibodies), CTCL is caused by an expansion of malignant T-cell lymphocytes (involved in cell-mediated immunity) normally programmed to migrate to the skin. These malignant cells migrate to the skin where they form various lesions, typically beginning as patches and may progress to raised plaques and tumors. Mortality is related to the stage of CTCL, with median survival generally ranging from about 12 years in the early stages to only 2.5 years when the disease has advanced. There is currently no cure for CTCL. Typically, CTCL lesions are treated and regress but usually return either in the same part of the body or in new areas.
CTCL constitutes a rare group of NHLs, occurring in about 4% of the approximate 700,000 individuals living with the disease. It is estimated, based upon review of historic published studies and reports and an interpolation of data on the incidence of CTCL that it affects over 25,000 individuals in the U.S., with approximately 3,000 new cases seen annually.

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists at deCODE genetics a subsidiary of Amgen together with collaborators from Denmark report on the whole genome sequences of 150 thousand participants in the UK biobank in a paper published in the journal Nature today.
This is the first report from the largest whole genome sequencing effort to date where scientists from deCODE genetics and from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute are set to sequence 500 thousand whole genomes in three years.
The scientists at deCODE genetics found 600 millions SNPs and indels in these 150 thousand genomes corresponding to 7% of those that can theoretically occur in the human genome. It is however likely that some of the theoretically possible variants are incompatible with life.
This large dataset allowed the scientists to separate regions that are tolerant to large diversity in sequence from those that are not. The assumption is that regions that are intolerant to sequence diversity are important to human survival and procreation. It has long been held that coding exons are the regions most important to human survival. However, when the 1% of the genome with sequences that are best conserved are examined only 13% of them are coding exons.
"Data of this type and quantity are going to revolutionize our ability to identify and characterize intergenic sequences of importance to human diversity, be it to risk of disease and response to treatment or some other attributes," said Kari Stefansson the founder of deCODE and one of the authors of the paper.
Furthermore, scientists at deCODE also report on the association of variants that were not identified through whole exome sequencing with diseases and other phenotypes.
Participants in the UK biobank are of diverse genetic ancestry and have forefathers from most of the countries of the world. The scientists determined that 85% of the participants could trace most of their ancestry to the British Isles. The scientists also found a large group of participants who can trace their ancestry mostly to Africa and South Asia. This study is likely to represent the largest set of whole genome sequenced individuals of African and South-Asian origin. However, the imbalance in the ethnic mix of those contributing sequences to this study as well as to other studies already published is unfortunate from both societal and scientific point of views. Scientists at deCODE genetics are determined to work towards more ethnically balanced sequencing cohorts in the future.
Data from this study are available to qualified researchers at the UK biobank research analysis platform. SNP and indel frequency data are available at decaf.decode.com allowing for identification of clinically important sequence variants.

Overall, 70 of the bank's 170 branches across the country will be converted into cashless outlets
AIB's latest decision to some of its branches cashless, including two in Kildare, has been met with criticism by a local TD, as well as two local Senators.
The banking giant yesterday announced that its branches in Athy and Celbridge will lose their ATMs, as well as Edenderry.
Overall, 70 of the bank's 170 branches across the country will be converted into cashless outlets.
However, the bank insisted that it would also host a series of Digital Advice Open Evenings for communities across Ireland in Autumn.
'BAILING'
Sinn Féin's Réada Cronin, TD, has called the downgrading of AIB Celbridge to a cashless facility 'a blow to vulnerable customers and rural communities.'
She said: "A bailed-out AIB was bailing now on many of its North Kildare loyal customers."
"These are basic banking services that people had the reasonable expectation of relying on as loyal customers of AIB. Now there’ll be no ATM, no cash, no cheque, no foreign exchange at these branches.
Ms Cronin continued: "This is a big blow to people who don’t bank online and are finding it hard enough to keep up with rapid change in banking services. AIB has tried to justify reducing services on the grounds of reduced use by the public... but the same AIB has a short memory because it was bailed out by that same public only around a decade ago.
"Equally, the ongoing pandemic had a major impact on face-to-face bank use and should not be used a cynical excuse by AIB to cut its services”.
'THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT CUSTOMERS'
"The Central Bank has already noted the importance that cash continues to play in our economy and for social inclusion, many people still use and rely on cash for perfectly good reasons of accessibility and keeping an eye on spending."
"This is no way to treat customers: yes, AIB is expanding their relationship with An Post but this is clearly not a solution in itself.
She concluded: "We, the public, bailed the banks and we need to talk now about what we expect from them, in return, especially our vulnerable people or those isolated by old age or location in a rural area or by not doing things online."
Réada Cronin TD (Sinn Féin) and Senator Mark Wall (Labour Party)
Labour Party Senator for Athy, Mark Wall, also harshly criticised the move, calling it 'a disgrace.'
The Athy representative added: "AIB are ignoring the most vulnerable in our society’s and blaming it on cost at the same time as their profits soar is simply reprehensible.
"I agree with my colleague and Labour’s Finance spokesperson Ged Nash TD, who described this as: 'This tone deaf decision taken by executives of a majority State-owned bank who appear to be accountable to nobody is another nail in the coffin for relationship banking in Ireland.'"
Senator Wall also called on the Minister for Finance to immediately intervene and 'stop this discrimination, which is just another blow to rural Ireland.'
He added: "Since this announcement, I’ve been contacted by many older people who are questioning what they will now have to do now, This is no way to treat vulnerable people.
"It is no way to treat loyal customers and potential new customers who may look at AIB in the wake of other banks departing this county; businesses too in towns like Athy will now have to travel to other towns to deposit cash, simply no way to treat customers.
"Towns like Athy are turning a corner, with long awaited infrastructural development, that will make the town a more attractive place for investment... the removal of cash services from one of the pillar banks in the town is a retrograde step and Government must intervene," Senator Wall concluded.
Furthermore, Fianna Fáil Senator Fiona O' Loughlin told the Leader that she has written a letter to the CEO of AIB in relation to the bank's recent decision.
In an excerpt from her letter, the Newbridge politician said: "To deprive the local people in our communities in South Kildare the option to use and access cash is wrong in my view, and will have negative impacts on many elderly persons, many of whom may not have the mobility to travel further afield to access cash services."
RESPONSE
In response to the critiques, a spokesperson for the bank told the Leader: "AIB has announced a national investment programme of over €40 million, which includes support for the bank’s deepening relationship with An Post, while maintaining its full complement of 170 branches nationwide, including seven in Kildare.
"AIB confirms that 70 of these branches, including two in Kildare, will be repurposed to focus more on account opening, financial planning, mortgages, loans, savings and investments.
"With digital usage soaring, the cost of providing cash services has become increasingly unsustainable.
"As a result, cash, ATM and cheque services will be removed from these branches but customers will continue to have efficient access to cash in their communities through their local post office, ATM and point of sale locations. Two branches are unchanged, having been repurposed last year."
"The repurposing will enable the bank to provide additional account-opening facilities as Ulster Bank and KBC leave the market, while also ensuring that its branch network has a sustainable future in the community."
In particular, the spokesperson also said that customers could still avail of three services:
DIGITAL ADVICE OPEN EVENINGS
The spokesperson elaborated that, in order to support customers wishing to familiarise themselves more with online and mobile banking, AIB will also host a series of Digital Advice Open Evenings for communities across Ireland including in Kildare.
They said that these details will be advertised in local media.
"The changes we are announcing will take effect from September," the spokesperson added.

Highly regarded CPG retail and shopping veteran to lead and deliver first-to-market client solutions
NEW YORK, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tinuiti – the largest independent performance marketing firm across Streaming TV and the Triopoly of Google, Meta, Amazon – today announced the appointment of Shaun Brown as its first-ever EVP of Commerce, ensuring the firm's long-term commitment to reinvest in its people, tech, and standards for innovation, setting both Tinuiti and its clients up for future success.
As Head of Commerce, Brown will oversee Tinuiti's already-robust Amazon, Retail Media, and end-to-end ecommerce retail strategy, which is driven by over 170 dedicated team members and collaborates across client offerings including Analytics, Addressable Media, Acquisition Media, Earned and Owned Media, Creative, and Influencer partnerships.
Brown's elevation follows Tinuiti's 2021 acquisition of Amazon-specialist agency, Ortega Group, resulting in one of the industry's most robust full-service Amazon and marketplace programs, which has transformed Tinuiti into the largest independent retail media practice.
Earlier this year, Tinuiti achieved Amazon Ads Advanced Partner Status. The just-launched global recognition program recognizes partners that demonstrate expertise with Amazon Ads, and deliver growth for advertisers, while also driving innovation and displaying a willingness to partner with Amazon Ads through consistent and ongoing engagement. Of the thousands of companies that work with Amazon Ads, only the top 5% achieve Advanced Partner Status.
Central to Tinuiti's success partnering with Amazon has been the firm's proprietary and powerful AI-enabled e-commerce activation toolset, MobiusX, which uses product data as the foundation on which media, bid, and feed strategies are optimized across campaigns and channels for maximum profitability. This technology has directly supported additional key API partnerships, including serving as one of only eight Walmart Connect API and Target Product Ads API partners and one of only 12 Instacart Agency API partners.
Obele Brown-West, Chief Solutions Officer, Tinuiti said: "Tinuiti's deep heritage in retail media is our advantage in understanding the entire customer Commerce journey, both online and offline, having all the best integrated tools in-house and with our partners. Shaun brings an incredible depth of shopper marketing experience to our already extensive ecommerce solutions — a combination that will deliver a commerce function across shoppable experiences and one that harnesses retail strategic operations. We guide modern brands looking to accelerate their connected commerce experience across the ever expanding landscape."
Brown is a 25-plus year CPG retail and shopping marketing veteran leading Shopper strategies and customer marketing activations with some of the world's most recognized brands, including Kellogg's and Coca-Cola. He has led commerce marketing programs that drive reach, engagement and sales and is known as an agency leader focused on connecting big data and AI to create better ideas, optimized connections, and proven results. Most recently, Brown joined Tinuiti from Momentum Worldwide where he led their North America Commerce Practice and Atlanta office. He will report to Tinuiti's Chief Solutions Officer, Obele Brown-West.
"I'm excited to partner with each of Tinuiti's clients to navigate the future of connected commerce and bring new brand experiences to life across the path to purchase by thoughtfully leveraging data, tech, and digital media. While I'm thrilled to join a company known for its industry-best depth of expertise, talent, and tech, what really attracted me to Tinuiti is the agency's pronounced dedication to culture and the prioritization of its people-first values."
- Shaun Brown, EVP, Commerce, Tinuiti
In addition, Katen Johal, who has a deep background in Amazon, Marketplaces and Retail Media Commerce, has been elevated from SVP of Business Development to Chief Growth Officer. Johal will continue to build on Tinuiti's momentum of rapid growth — which has grown seven-fold over the past five years. He will leverage his unique combination of institutional knowledge of the firm and his decade-plus experience in developing and selling agency services. Former Chief Growth Officer Jesse Eisenberg was elevated to Chief Commercial Officer earlier this year.
These role updates mark a continuation in establishing the Tinuiti "E-Team" as a go-to-market team in response to the firm's accelerated business growth. As announced in January, the new composition of the leadership team will provide better positioning to engage, deliver, and elevate client experience and performance to provide connected services to clients. Most recently, Tinuiti announced Max Cheprasov as Chief Transformation Officer and Justin Manus as Chief Technology Officer.
These appointments come alongside an ongoing restructuring of Tinuiti's service lines to cement its position as the performance marketing firm of the future.
Following Obele-Brown West's elevation to Chief Solutions Officer leading the delivery of Tinuiti's client-facing solutions, Tinuiti took the opportunity to evolve the solutions structure to drive integration across channels and integrate further, which includes key Solutions Team updates:
- Crystal Duncan, a 15-year veteran, has been announced as the SVP of Influencer Marketing, where she will head the new omnichannel Performance Influencer Practice, a full-funnel solution that delivers meaningful and measurable ROI for brands. Tinuiti has merged the Affiliate group, which works across the funnel to drive more conversations through brand loyalty programs, with Influencer to form a new Partnership Marketing Group.
- Pat Hayden, a 14-year Tinuitian, elevates to SVP, Solutions Integration, from SVP, Acquisition Media, to drive integration and accountability to further our strategic growth across the organization.
- Josh Brisco, a 10-year Tinuitian, elevates to Group VP, Acquisition Media, from VP, Growth Media, to lead Paid Search and drive incremental growth, integration and innovation for large divisions including: SEM, Growth Media and Shoppable Media.
Tinuiti is continuing to hire for multiple roles across divisions to keep pace with growth. For a closer look at Tinuiti's culture, please visit https://tinuiti.com/culture/.

ORLANDO, Fla., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida's housing market had more new listings, increased median home prices and signs of easing supply constraints in June and 2Q 2022 compared to a year ago, though higher mortgage rates and inflation are continuing to impact sales, according to Florida Realtors®' latest housing data.
"Our data trends indicate for-sale inventory levels are beginning to rise, which could help lessen the pressure of rising prices and housing affordability for buyers over time," said 2022 Florida Realtors President Christina Pappas, vice president of the Keyes Family of Companies in Miami. "Still, the median time to contract statewide for single-family existing homes in June was 10 days compared to eight days during the same month a year ago. The median time to contract for existing condo-townhouse units was 12 days compared to 17 in June 2021.
"As market conditions fluctuate, consumers can turn to a local Realtor® for help and expertise when it comes to the complex process of buying or selling a home."
Last month, closed sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 28,296, down 17.2% year-over-year, while existing condo-townhouse sales totaled 11,796, down 27% over June 2021, according to data from Florida Realtors Research Department in partnership with local Realtor boards/associations. Closed sales may occur from 30- to 90-plus days after sales contracts are written.
Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. Brad O'Connor noted that while closed sales were down significantly compared to the same time a year ago, June's level was similar to closed sales in June 2018 and 2019.
"Nearly 21% (20.9%) fewer existing single-family homes went under contract in June compared to a year ago," he said. "In combination with a 13.2% year-over-year increase in new listings for single-family homes, this led to a hefty increase in end-of-month inventory, which is now about twice what it was only four months ago at the end of February. At this rate, we will be back at pre-pandemic inventory levels for single-family homes by the end of summer."
New listings for existing condo-townhouse properties last month rose by 4.7% year-over-year.
The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes in June was $420,000, up 19.7% from the previous year. Last month's statewide median price for condo-townhouse units was $324,900, up 26.4% over the year-ago figure. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.
Dr. O'Connor said, "The median price for single-family home sales closing in June was $420,000, up nearly 20% year-over-year but unchanged compared to May. This marks the first time the single-family median sale price has failed to increase from May to June since 2008 – an indication that prices are starting to respond to the growing level of inventory available to buyers."
On the supply side of the market, inventory (active listings) showed signs of easing in June as well as for all of 2Q 2022: Both single-family existing homes and condo-townhouse inventory increased year-over-year to stand at a 1.9-months' supply in June and for all of 2Q 2022.
According to Freddie Mac, the interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.52% in June 2022, significantly higher than the 2.98% average during the same month a year earlier. For the second quarter, the 30-year FRM averaged 5.24% compared to its average of 3.0% for 2Q 2021.

Srinagar, Jul 20 (PTI) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday conducted searches at nine locations in the Kashmir valley in connection with a case related to the recovery of a huge cache of arms and ammunition here, an official said.
Two local "hybrid" militants of proscribed terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were arrested in the Chanapora area of Srinagar on May 23, and 15 pistols, 30 magazines, 300 rounds and a silencer were seized from them.
Two more accused were arrested later, and a vehicle was seized.
A spokesperson of the NIA said the searches were conducted at nine locations in Kashmir – five in Pulwama district of south Kashmir and four in Srinagar district – in the case related to a conspiracy of carrying out terror activities in and around Srinagar.

The case was registered initially at the Chanapora police station on May 23 and re-registered by the NIA on June 18 for a thorough investigation.
The NIA said the searches were conducted at the premises of the accused and other suspected persons, leading to the recovery and seizure of digital devices and other incriminating materials.
"Further investigations in the case are in progress," the spokesperson said.
"Hybrid" militants is a term coined by the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir to describe those ultras who carry out a subversive task assigned to them by their handlers before slipping back into normal life.

Nottingham Forest have announced the signing of Huddersfield Town midfielder Lewis O'Brien.
Forest have been busy in this summer transfer window and the 23-year-old becomes the 10th signing to arrive at the City Ground so far. The midfielder made 50 appearances in all competitions for Carlos Corberan last season.
O'Brien was part of the Terriers side that were pipped to promotion to the Premier League by Steve Cooper's Reds last season, in the Championship play-off final at Wembley. The midfielder joins his Harry Toffolo at Forest after the pair were team mates at Huddersfield.

“We are delighted to secure the signing of Lewis O’Brien and we are thrilled to get this one over the line," said Forest head coach Cooper. "He was one of the standout players in the Championship last season and possesses many of the qualities that we are looking for to strengthen the midfield unit.
“At 23 years of age and with an abundance of experience already, I am confident Lewis will play a pivotal role next year and I look forward to watching him grow as a player over the coming months.”
The Reds added in a statement: Everyone at Nottingham Forest welcomes Lewis to the club and wishes him the best of luck throughout his time here."

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists at deCODE genetics a subsidiary of Amgen together with collaborators from Denmark report on the whole genome sequences of 150 thousand participants in the UK biobank in a paper published in the journal Nature today.
This is the first report from the largest whole genome sequencing effort to date where scientists from deCODE genetics and from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute are set to sequence 500 thousand whole genomes in three years.
The scientists at deCODE genetics found 600 millions SNPs and indels in these 150 thousand genomes corresponding to 7% of those that can theoretically occur in the human genome. It is however likely that some of the theoretically possible variants are incompatible with life.
This large dataset allowed the scientists to separate regions that are tolerant to large diversity in sequence from those that are not. The assumption is that regions that are intolerant to sequence diversity are important to human survival and procreation. It has long been held that coding exons are the regions most important to human survival. However, when the 1% of the genome with sequences that are best conserved are examined only 13% of them are coding exons.
"Data of this type and quantity are going to revolutionize our ability to identify and characterize intergenic sequences of importance to human diversity, be it to risk of disease and response to treatment or some other attributes," said Kari Stefansson the founder of deCODE and one of the authors of the paper.
Furthermore, scientists at deCODE also report on the association of variants that were not identified through whole exome sequencing with diseases and other phenotypes.
Participants in the UK biobank are of diverse genetic ancestry and have forefathers from most of the countries of the world. The scientists determined that 85% of the participants could trace most of their ancestry to the British Isles. The scientists also found a large group of participants who can trace their ancestry mostly to Africa and South Asia. This study is likely to represent the largest set of whole genome sequenced individuals of African and South-Asian origin. However, the imbalance in the ethnic mix of those contributing sequences to this study as well as to other studies already published is unfortunate from both societal and scientific point of views. Scientists at deCODE genetics are determined to work towards more ethnically balanced sequencing cohorts in the future.
Data from this study are available to qualified researchers at the UK biobank research analysis platform. SNP and indel frequency data are available at decaf.decode.com allowing for identification of clinically important sequence variants.

- The Postal Service announces change of scope of the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for its Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDVs) to further reflect network refinements, route optimization, and financial improvements that will support a shortened delivery vehicle procurement strategy interval
- Under the adjusted scope, at least 50 percent of newly ordered NGDVs in the current contract are expected to be battery electric vehicles (BEVs)
- The Postal Service commits to evaluate vehicle mix and purchase capability in shorter intervals as technology evolves and the organization's financial and operational picture improve
- The Postal Service expects a procurement of 34,500 commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) vehicles to supplement the current purpose-built NGDV order, including as many BEVs as are commercially available, and satisfy operational needs
- The Postal Service expects that at least 40 percent of the total quantity of NGDVs and COTS vehicles covered by the SEIS will be BEVs
WASHINGTON, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Postal Service today announced it anticipates adjusting the purchase interval and composition of its delivery fleet. The adjustments reflect refinements to the Postal Service's overall network modernization, route optimizations, improved facility electric infrastructure, and availability of vehicles and technology. The proposed expanded fleet mix will include purpose built Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDVs) and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) vehicles, and the network adjustments and attendant economies will facilitate substantially increased deployment of battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
In February 2022, the Postal Service completed its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act process and issued a Record of Decision to acquire up to 165,000 NGDV, with a commitment for at least 10 percent BEV. This decision was expressly designed to provide the Postal Service the flexibility to acquire significantly more BEV NGDV should financial and operational circumstances permit. Pursuant to this decision, the Postal Service then announced in March 2022 a purchase of 50,000 NGDV from Oshkosh Defense, including 20 percent BEVs.
Now, under the new adjusted scope for the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS), the Postal Service proposes to limit its Decision to the 50,000 NGDV already purchased and to raise the minimum NGDV BEV percentage to at least 50 percent. Because of the critical and immediate need to accelerate the replacement of our aging fleet in accordance with the Delivering for America plan, and the purpose and scope of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process, the Postal Service is also proposing to purchase, over a 2-year period, 34,500 COTS vehicles. Additional purchases of NGDVs under the current contract or other COTS vehicles will be analyzed in future supplements to the EIS prior to such purchases. The Postal Service anticipates evaluating and procuring vehicles over shorter time periods to be more responsive to its evolving operational strategy, technology improvements, and changing market conditions, including the expected increased availability of BEV options in the future.
In total, of the above 84,500 NGDV and COTS vehicles, the Postal Service anticipates having at least 40 percent BEV. The Postal Service reiterates its commitment to the fiscally responsible roll-out of electric-powered vehicles for America's largest and oldest federal fleet. New NGDVs are expected to start servicing postal routes in late 2023.
As a result of this announcement, the Postal Service is extending the public comment period for its NGDV SEIS. The public hearing will now be held Monday, Aug. 8, at 7pm ET. Registration for the public hearing can be found at uspsngdveis.com/. The public comment period has been extended until Aug. 15.
Additional information can be found at https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2022-15616/environmental-impact-statements-availability-etc-supplement-to-the-next-generation-delivery-vehicles.
The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products, and services to fund its operations.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is taking a pause on Wednesday, a day after rallying to its best day in weeks, following a mixed set of profit reports from big U.S. companies.
The S&P 500 was drifting between small gains and losses and was down 0.3% in early trading, a day after soaring 2.8%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 142 points, or 0.4%, at 31,684, a little past 10 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% higher.
Profit reporting season is ramping up for big companies, with more types of industries offering details about how high inflation and a possible recession are affecting their customers. A lot is riding on whether they can continue to deliver healthy profits.
Stocks tumbled roughly 20% from their highs this year because of worries about rising interest rates, and proof that profits can remain strong would provide a big support for markets. On the other hand, warnings about upcoming weakness could kick off another leg downward.
Companies have mostly been topping profit expectations so far this reporting season, as is usually the case.
Nasdaq, the company behind its namesake trading exchange, jumped 5.1% after delivering stronger profit and revenue than Wall Street expected. Comerica, the Dallas-based financial services company, added 0.9% after it also reported stronger-than-expected results.
Netflix rose 1.2% after it said it lost fewer subscribers during the spring than expected. It, though, remains the worst stock in the S&P 500 for the year, down by roughly two thirds.
On the losing end was Baker Hughes, which tumbled 11.6% after it reported weaker results for the spring than analysts expected. Northern Trust fell 5.4% after its profit fell short of forecasts.
In Europe, stocks were slipping amid worries about whether Russia would restrict supplies of natural gas headed for the region after some maintenance on a key pipeline is scheduled to end Thursday. Germany’s DAX dropped 0.7%, and French stocks dipped 0.6%.
The continent is also preparing for the first increase in interest rates by the European Central Bank in 11 years on Thursday, as it tries to beat back inflation.
The U.S. Federal Reserve has already hiked rates three times this year, by increasing margins each time. When it meets next week, investors say the only question is if it raises its key rate by another 0.75 percentage points or opts for a mega-hike of a full percentage point.
Such increases to rates make borrowing more expensive, which slows the economy. The hope is that the Federal Reserve and other central banks can deftly find the middle ground where the economy slows enough to whip inflation but not enough to cause a recession.
Some parts of the economy are already slowing because of the rate hikes, particularly the housing industry. A report on Wednesday morning showed that sales of previously occupied homes weakened last month by more than economists expected.
In the bond market, the yield on the two-year Treasury, which tends to follow expectations for the Fed’s actions, fell to 3.19% from 3.24% late Tuesday. The 10-year yield slipped to 2.97% from 3.01%.

Atlanta Hawks Announce Hiring of Kyle Korver
Yesterday evening, news broke surrounding a consequential hire for the Atlanta Hawks. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported the Hawks hired former player Kyle Korver for a position in the front office.
Today the team announced that Korver had been hired as the organization’s director of player affairs & development. According to the press release, in this newly-formed position, Korver will "assist in creating and overseeing a development plan for each Hawks player in partnership with the coaches, athletic performance team, and front office."
“We are excited to bring Kyle back to the Hawks,” said Hawks General Manager Landry Fields. “He is a tremendous person and someone whose presence will benefit all of our players, both on and off the court, drawing from his unique experiences over his 17-year playing career, as a late-second round pick who later became an All-Star in Atlanta and one of the league’s all-time best shooters.”
Korver, who spent the 2021-22 season as a player development assistant with the Brooklyn Nets, returns to the Hawks, where he played in 332 regular season games over four-and-a-half seasons (2012-17), including an All-Star appearance in 2015. He was also the NBA’s Sportsmanship Award recipient in 2014-15.
Korver appeared in 1,232 career regular season games (and 145 playoff contests) in 17 seasons with Philadelphia, Utah, Chicago, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Milwaukee. He ranks fifth in NBA history in three-pointers made (2,450) and seventh in career three-point percentage (.429), including the best single-season mark in league history (.536 in 2009-10 with the Jazz). Korver is the only player to ever lead the league in three-point percentage four times.
Shortly after a disappointing end to the 2021-22 season, the Hawks owner and team president both promised a shakeup. That pledge has been fulfilled. The front office has been reconfigured, the roster improved, and they tweaked the coaching staff. Stay locked into AllHawks.com for breaking news, highlights, and analysis.

NEW YORK (AP) — You've got to wake up early on a weekend to catch Soledad O'Brien.
Say 4:30 a.m. Saturday in Chicago. Or 5 a.m. on Sunday in New York and Houston. It's 6:30 a.m. Saturday in Washington, D.C. — almost sleep-in territory.
Those are some of the time slots for “Matter of Fact,” the news show she anchors that has overcome those hours over seven years to establish itself over in the syndicated market. Produced by Hearst Television, “Matter of Fact” is available in 181 markets covering 95 percent of the country.
“People will find you if you're doing a good job,” O'Brien said, “and they will skip you if you're not doing a good job.”
“Matter of Fact” averages about 1.08 million viewers each weekend, roughly half the audience for broadcast network panel shows like “Meet the Press” or “This Week,” according to Nielsen company, which measures ratings. That's down from a pandemic- and election-aided peak of 1.2 million in 2020, but double what it was at the show's start in 2015.
That's notable given that the program has no consistent time slot all over the country and, in some places, literally airs in the middle of the night.
O'Brien, formerly of CNN, also contributes to HBO's “Real Sports,” but most of her time now is spent running her own production company. Her HBO docuseries “Black and Missing” won a Film Independent Spirit Award, and a doc about Rosa Parks recently premiered at the Tribeca film festival.
O'Brien wanted to keep a hand in onscreen television work and, when approached for “Matter of Fact,” met with executive producer Rita Aleman and found that they had similar ideas.
“The mission of the show was always to share voices as diverse as America, slices of life that people should see in order to understand how issues play out across the country,” Aleman said.
Hearst was looking to design a show that included voices not normally heard on network panel shows, where occasionally the same government official will appear on two or three on the same weekend, said Emerson Coleman, Hearst's senior vice president of programming, who developed the show.
There was also a desire to turn down the volume. The inherent conflict of political shows “makes for good TV, but we have a different approach,” Coleman said.
“I found that I was very underwhelmed by the interviews we were getting,” O'Brien said. “People were talking about policy but not really talking about human beings. So we decided to cut out the middle man.”
To a large extent, “Matter of Fact” is a reported show. Reporter Jessica Gomez visited a hospital in Texas' Titus County for a story on rural health care. The show profiled Emmanuel Pratt, a MacArthur Foundation fellow who runs an urban redevelopment agency that uses agriculture and carpentry to spur revivals.
O'Brien refers to the show as a “teaching hospital” of news.
“I don't know that you can go wrong in elevating people who've been doing good work in difficult circumstances and giving them a platform,” she said. “I think we don't do it enough.”
The effort to get closer to communities where “Matter of Fact” is broadcast is reflected in a just-completed project that became more involved as it was ongoing.
Like many news organizations, “Matter of Fact” and the 33-owned Hearst television stations underwent some soul-searching following the George Floyd murder two years ago. They wanted to elevate the concerns of communities that often lacked media attention.
Their idea for a “listening tour” turned into a sprawling, four-part series of programs, each 90-minutes long as shown online and edited down to an hour for television outlets that included the A&E network. The first gave a platform to citizens to talk about bias, the second reflected the opinions of people in the arts and academia. The third, which featured O'Brien's interview with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor about hate speech, illustrated grassroots efforts at improving relations.
The last program, released for the Juneteenth holiday last month, focused on profiling a new generation of activists. Among those featured were Tarana Burke of the #MeToo movement, Parkland school shooting survivor Emma Gonzalez and gymnast Simone Biles.
“It's easy to go through the history books and just say, ‘Oh, here’s people everybody knows already,'” O'Brien said. “It was also very important to find people working in a modern-day context, so it wasn't just a historic look back at civil rights in the 1960s.”
Besides television and online, including weekly “Matter of Fact” episodes, material gathered from the “listening tour” was used in Hearst magazines like Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Good Housekeeping and Oprah.
So it's not primarily insomniacs who see the work.
Hearst executives are always on the lookout for upgrades, television stations that might want to present “Matter of Fact” more in the light of day. O'Brien lets the “suits” worry about that.
“I wouldn't call them pretty lousy time slots because we have viewers there,” she said. “We would call them challenges that we would love to overcome.” | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Soledad-O-Brien-show-makes-impression-in-17317153.php | 2022-07-20T16:01:08Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Soledad-O-Brien-show-makes-impression-in-17317153.php | true | 48 |

Rudy Giuliani ordered to testify in Georgia 2020 election probe
ATLANTA (AP) — A judge in New York has ordered Rudy Giuliani to appear next month before a special grand jury in Atlanta that’s investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to interfere in the 2020 general election in Georgia.
New York Supreme Court Justice Thomas Farber on July 13 issued an order directing Giuliani, a Trump lawyer and former New York City mayor, to appear before the special grand jury on Aug. 9 and on any other dates ordered by the court in Atlanta, according to documents filed Wednesday in Fulton County Superior Court.
Giuliani’s lawyer did not immediately return a call and email seeking comment Wednesday.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis began her investigation early last year, and a special grand jury with subpoena power was seated in May at her request. In a letter requesting the special grand jury, she said her team was looking into “any coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of the 2020 elections in this state.”
Earlier this month, she filed petitions to compel seven Trump associates, including Giuliani and U.S. Sen Lindsey Graham, to testify before the special grand jury.
Because they don’t live in Georgia, she had to use a process that involves getting a judge in the state where they live to order them to appear.
Giuliani had been summoned to appear in court in New York on July 13 to present any reasons why a subpoena should not be issued for him to testify in Atlanta, but he failed to show up for the hearing, Farber wrote in his order.
In a court filing Wednesday, Willis informed the judge overseeing the special grand jury that Giuliani had been served with Farber’s final order instructing him to appear before the special grand jury.
It’s possible that Giuliani could file a motion with the court in Atlanta to try to avoid testifying.
Graham, who has denied any wrongdoing, reached an agreement with Willis yesterday that said he would file any challenge to the attempt to compel his testimony in Georgia, either in Fulton County Superior Court or in federal court in Atlanta, rather than in South Carolina or Washington, where Willis was planning to try to get a judge to issue a subpoena.
U.S. Rep. Jody Hice filed a challenge to a subpoena issued for his testimony in federal court in Atlanta. He has argued that his actions after the election were done in his role as a member of Congress and are shielded from legal proceedings and inquiry. A judge is set to hear arguments on that next week.
Georgia’s lieutenant governor and a former state lawmaker also challenged subpoenas. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who’s overseeing the special grand jury, declined to quash the subpoenas but did set guidelines for the questions they could be asked based on their status as members of the General Assembly.
In the petition for Giuliani’s testimony, Willis identified him as both a personal attorney for Trump and a lead attorney for his campaign.
As part of those efforts, she wrote, he and others presented a Georgia state Senate subcommittee with a video recording of election workers that Giuliani alleged showed them producing “suitcases” of unlawful ballots from unknown sources, outside the view of election poll watchers.
Within 24 hours of the hearing on Dec. 3, 2020, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office had debunked the video and said that it had found that no voter fraud had taken place at the site. Nevertheless, Giuliani continued to make statements to the public and in subsequent legislative hearings claiming widespread voter fraud using that debunked video, Willis wrote.
“There is evidence that (Giuliani’s) appearance and testimony at the hearing was part of a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere,” the petition says.

Stowaway chicken reunited with owner after catching 13-mile ride
HINESBURG, Vt. (WCAX/Gray News) – It’s common knowledge that chickens can’t fly, but that didn’t stop a hen in Vermont from trekking 13 miles away from home.
Amelia the chicken typically spends her day doing normal chicken things, like digging up dirt, looking for food or hanging with her feathered friends. She also loves snuggles from her human mom, Rebecca Thibeault.
“I raised them from very small,” Thibeault told WCAX.
It seems Amelia got tired of the country life and flew the coop for a day in the city.
“I was very sad that she was missing,” Thibeault said.
Somehow Amelia climbed into a tiny compartment in the undercarriage of a truck and took a 13-mile ride to downtown Burlington, Vermont.
Lo Fasano had just finished a cup of coffee on a morning walk in the area when she spotted the chicken. She tried calling rehabilitators and police to get Amelia help.
“They said they don’t do chickens,” Fasano said.
So, she took Amelia home and gave her food and a place to nest. Then she turned to social media in an effort to find the chicken’s owner.
“Even though it was a long shot, I had hope,” Fasano said.
Fasano’s hope paid off. A Facebook post led her to Amelia’s family who was worried sick about the wayward hen. They connected and got the bird home.
“I think about her and I’m really happy it had a happy ending,” Fasano said.

2Blades and Corteva Agriscience Reach Collaboration Milestone in Development of Durable Resistance for Latin American Soybean Varieties
EVANSTON, Ill., and INDIANAPOLIS, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, 2Blades and Corteva Agriscience announced they have reached a milestone in their collaboration to develop a transgene for Asian Soybean Rust (ASR) resistance with successful field trials of Latin American soybean varieties containing the new ASR transgene. This achievement marks an important point in the research collaboration between the two organizations, which seeks to develop durable resistance and minimize grower losses due to the plant pathogen.
Endemic to most soybean-producing regions of the globe, ASR can cause yield loss ranging from 10-80% in countries where it is established, carrying significant risk for farmers and agricultural systems. Soybeans in Latin America are particularly vulnerable to this fungal disease due to mild winter conditions, which allow the fungus to survive year-round. The transgenic trait in development by 2Blades and Corteva will provide an additional disease management tool for farmers in the region, increasing disease resistance durability and options for integrated disease management strategies.
"Results from the trial showed strong disease resistance in the transgenic soybean varieties tested," said Dr. Tom Greene, Biotechnology Leader at Corteva Agriscience. "Our partnership with 2Blades combines the strengths of our organizations in pursuit of our common goal: enhancing the productivity of soybeans for farmers across Latin America via stronger plant genetics."
2Blades' knowledge of disease resistance, combined with Corteva's laboratory and field testing proficiency, as well as product development expertise, prompted the initial decision to collaborate in 2013. From 2013 to 2018, 2Blades and Corteva undertook joint research to identify novel ASR resistance genes at the Universidade Federal de Viçosa in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and at the 2Blades Group located within The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, UK. Additional testing has been conducted across Corteva's global research footprint.
"Lead genes from our collaboration continue to advance in our pipeline, allowing us to better understand their performance against key ASR pathogens that impact our growers in Latin America," said Dr. Jeff Habben, who leads the Disease Resistance Discovery group at Corteva Agriscience. "Reaching this collaborative milestone reinforces our trajectory and builds confidence in our approach."
While scientific advancements have led to some improvements in soybean rust control in countries such as Brazil, durable genetic resistance is an important tool for farmers to mitigate the risk of the disease.
"Soybean rust is a key challenge for growers and needs to be combatted with an integrated strategy," said Dr. Peter van Esse, Vice President and Group Leader at 2Blades. "Genetic resistance against this disease will help give growers a powerful tool to manage the disease in a more effective and sustainable way."

San Diegans Protest to Protect Mueller’s Russia Investigation
By Marielena Castellanos /sites/default/files/2017/02/13876545_921740734602359_1177198830900475556_n-e1499372147558.jpg
Just over a thousand people stood outside the federal courthouse in downtown San Diego to protest President Trump firing U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and replacing him with a known critic of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
Matthew Whitaker, formerly Jeff Session’s chief of staff, will now oversee the probe.
The move, which came just one day after the midterm elections where Democrats took control of Congress, was criticized and raised fears about the future of the investigation.
Lupe Lujan, a resident of Clairemont went to the protest with her husband. She said she was outraged and believed President Trump is trying to influence the investigation. About Trump Lujan also said, “He should be held accountable.”
The ACLU wrote in a statement, “Jeff Sessions was the worst Attorney General in modern American history. Period. But the dismissal of the nation’s top law enforcement official shouldn’t be based on political motives.”
Protests were held all over the country to urge protection of the Mueller investigation. The Hill reported #ProtectMueller trended on Twitter as the protests broke out.
Marely Ramirez is a member of local action group Indivisible Downtown and was one of the speakers at the protest. Speaking to attendees she said, “We need to continue the investigation of Donald Trump and the collusion with Russia. We demand an investigation. The nation demands an investigation.”
Fox News reported more than a dozen U.S. state attorneys general signed a document Thursday calling for Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to recuse himself from overseeing the Russia investigation.
The Guardian reports Republicans warned Trump not to shut down the investigation. Mitt Romney, who won the race on Tuesday for the U.S. Senate in Utah, tweeted, “It is imperative that the important work of the Justice Department continues, and that the Mueller investigation proceeds to its conclusion unimpeded.”
Democrats are calling on Whitaker to recuse himself from overseeing the investigation. Reuters reported this week House Judiciary Committee Democrats wrote a letter saying the move placed the country “in the throes of a constitutional crisis,” and demanded action from the panel’s Republican chairman, Bob Goodlatte, and called for bipartisan legislation to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller from any effort to prevent the probe.
Ramirez also said she was glad to see so many people and added, “It was powerful people showed up today. It shows people are fed up and want to do something.”
“We are not about to see one man destroy what the founding fathers in 1776 put together for us, and have one man take it all away. I think he’s absolutely mistaken. It is the power of the people, the goodness in our nation that will take the leadership into making sure not only that there is an investigation, but that the beauty of this country remains intact,” Ramirez also said. | https://laprensa.org/san-diegans-protest-to-protect-muellers-russia-investigation | 2022-07-20T16:08:14Z | https://laprensa.org/san-diegans-protest-to-protect-muellers-russia-investigation | false | 1 |
The following chart shows the positions of Ray Dalio's Bridgewater Associates according to the latest 13F disclosure filed in Q1 of 2022. As you can see, The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) is his largest single holding now, representing 4.4% of his total portfolio (a massive $22B portfolio). Furthermore, the position has seen a sizable increase of more than 31% compared to the last filing. Besides such a substantial increase on the leading stock in the consumer staples space, he also increased his stakes in other staple stocks including Coca-Cola (KO), PepsiCo (PEP), Costco (COST), and Walmart (WMT), et al. The increases are all in the 30% to 40% range compared to the last filing.
I totally share Dalio's view about these stocks under the current inflationary conditions. All the above stocks have demonstrated strong pricing power in the long term to fight inflation. And moreover, they are also all paying safe and generous dividends currently to add another tooth against inflation.
Although, in the next section, you will that all these stocks are included in any standard consumer stable fund, such as the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLP). So, it behooves us to ask why not just own this fund?
The remainder of this article shares my thoughts on the question using his largest holding of PG as an example. You will see that PG provides far superior profitability over XLP yet is for sales at a lower valuation. Its return on capital employed is about 3x higher than XLP, but its valuation is at a small discount of 4% in terms of P/E and a whopping 28% in terms of price/cash flow ratios. All of these add to a much more favorable long-term return potential (my projection is in the upper single-digit around 7.5%), not only higher than XLP (about 5%) but also better than the overall market (around 6%).
XLP is one of the most popular ETF funds in the consumer staples space. It holds a total of 33 stocks, and PG is its largest holding, representing more than 15.5% of the total assets. As aforementioned, its other largest holdings include KO, PEP, COST, WMT, et al, which are not only all in Ray Dalio's portfolio but also saw an increased stake between 30% to 40% compared to the last filing.
Specific to PG, as you can see from the following chart, it has delivered far superior performance in the long run than XLP. Since 2000, when the fund was launched, PG has delivered an annual return of 7.7% compared to about a 6.7% from XLP, an alpha of about 1% per year. And note that my above independent projection for PG's return is about 7.5% going forward, not that far from the long-term historical performance. Although my projection for XLP is only about 5% under the current conditions, leading to a larger projected alpha. Also note that PG, besides outperforming XLP, also outperformed the overall market represented by the S&P 500 (whose CAGR is also about 6.7%). My forecast for the overall market's return going forward is a bit lower at 6%.
Also note that PG, as a single stock, has suffered higher price volatility than the XLP fund. It has suffered a standard deviation of 17%, compared to XLP's 12%. Its worst year performance was 27%, compared to XLP's 20%. And its maximum drawdown was 48%, compared to XLP's 32%. However, as a single stock, PG actually suffered LOWER volatility than the overall S&P 500 in terms of worst year performance (27% vs 37%) and maximum drawdown (48% vs 51%). This is a strong demonstration of the resilience of PG (and also other high-quality stocks) during turbulent times. Our core investment philosophy is precisely built on this observation: holding fewer but well-understood stocks not only delivers outperformance but also reduces risks. Adding more inferior holdings does the opposite. The notation that more holdings equal better/safer diversification is simply false and an illusion.
As you can see from the following chart, compared to XLP, PG deliver far superior profitability yet is for sale at a significant discount.
The chart is made from data obtained after the market closed on July 18 from Yahoo Finance or Seeking Alpha. Particularly, PG's operating margin of 17.5% and ROCE (return on capital employed) of 61% are both about 3 times higher than the consumer staple sector represented by XLP. Yet, PG is valued at 24.55x P/E (not cheap as to be detailed later) and 20.0x price to cash flow, while XLP is valued at 25.5x P/E and 15.7x price to cash flow. The valuation discount is about 4% in terms of P/E multiples and 28% in terms of price to cash flow multiples.
The following chart zooms in on the profitability comparison in terms of ROCE more closely. The ROCE here is calculated using PG's annual financials for the past 10 years. As can be seen, the ROCE of PG is on average about 61%. it started the decade with a ROCE of around 50% from 2011 to 2014. Since then, its ROCE has been consistently expanding and now hovers above 80% in recent years. Its current ROCE is not only far above the long-term average of 61% but is also more competitive than all the FAAMG stocks except AAPL.
In contrast, XLP's profitability is less impressive (though healthy). Using the equity as an approximation for the sector capital employed, its ROE is about 22.5%. It is a healthy level and on par with the overall economy - there is no reason why it should deviate too far from the overall economy given its staple nature. But it is nowhere near PG's current level of 88% or the long-term average of 61%.
As aforementioned, I totally share Dalio's view about leading staple stocks like PG under the current inflationary conditions.
PG, thanks to the noticeable superiority in its products, is likely to be much more resilient to inflationary pressure. As its CEO Andre Schulten commented below using the example of Tides and Ariel for cold water washing (abridged and emphases added by me):
Superior offerings delivered with superior execution drive market growth. This drives value creation for our retail partners and builds market share for P&G brands. Noticeable superiority is perhaps the most important in the inflationary environment we are potentially facing. A great example is the formula innovation we've launched on Tide and Ariel laundry detergents to enable superior cleaning performance in cold water washing.
All told, the business has provided healthy growth guidance. The growth forecast is sufficient to combat probably the worst inflation projection. To wit, organic sales are projected to grow +6% to +7%, and all-in sales are projected to grow by +4% to +5%. In terms of the bottom line, it has confirmed its all-in EPS growth in the +6% to +9%.
Now, dividends. PG has been paying a much higher dividend yield than XLP historically as you can see from the chart below, on average by about 0.5%. However, due to its price performance, PG currently pays a dividend yield that is on par with XLP (2.46% vs 2.49%). The current yield spread is therefore essentially 0. To put things into a broader perspective, the second chart shows the yield spread between PG and XLP over a longer timeframe. As you can see, the current yield spread is near the lowest level in a decade, a potential risk in our view and the primary reason why we ourselves will stay on the sideline (to be elaborated on in the risk section at the end).
Although, PG's total yield, once share repurchases are included, is considerably higher. It just increased its direct share repurchase to about $10B. At its current market cap, this would add about 3% to the total yield.
The chart below (our investment roadmap) summarizes my projected returns for PG and XLP. A bit of background on the roadmap. We use it in all our investment decisions to keep us thinking like business owners, not stock traders. As detailed in our earlier article:
- The long-term ROI for a business owner is simply determined by two things: A) the price paid to buy the business and B) the quality of the business. More specifically, part A is determined by the owner's earning yield ("OEY") when we purchased the business. And that is why PE is the first dimension in our roadmap. Part B is determined by the quality of the business and that is why ROCE, the most important metric for profitability, is the second dimension in our roadmap.
- Now, the long-term growth rate is governed by ROCE and the Reinvestment Rate. These are the two most important growth engines, and they mutually enhance each other. High ROCE means every $1 reinvested can lead to a higher growth rate, which leads to more future profits and more flexible capital allocation to fuel further growth, and so on. So to summarize:
- Longer-Term ROI = valuation + quality = OEY + Growth Rate = OEY + ROCE*Reinvestment Rate
At its current price levels, the OEY (owners earning yield) from PG is ~4.0%. Note that here I used the FW GAAP EPS guidance as an approximation for the owners' earnings. The perpetual growth rate is projected to be about 3.0% for PG by assuming a 5% reinvestment rate and 61% average ROCE (perpetual growth rate = ROCE * reinvestment rate = 61% * 5% = 3.1%).
As a result, the total expected return in the long term is about 7.1%, with the majority of it coming from OEY. As aforementioned, it is more attractive than XLP's ~5% projection (about 3.9% from OEY and about 2.9% from growth). Note these are real returns. And nominal returns will be higher than these projections by whatever the inflation is (and again, PG will have stronger pricing power than the average sector here). Also, note that XLP's projected return is also lower than the overall market due to its higher valuation. When ROCEs are similar (both in the 20% range), the long-term return will be solely determined by the OEY at the entry point.
In summary, I totally share Dalio's view on high-quality staple stocks like PG under the current inflationary conditions. The same analysis and conclusions can be extended to other of his major staple positions such as WMT, COST, PEP, et al. Many of these stocks offer profit superiority but are not demanding premier valuation under their current conditions. In PG's case, its ROCE now hovers above 80% in recent years, compared to XLP's 22.5%. Yet, PG is for sales at a lower valuation than XLP. As such, I expect favorable odds for PG to outperform XLP and I expect the alpha to be about 2% per annum compared to 1% observed in the past since 2000.
Finally, risks. First, as aforementioned, neither PG nor XLP is cheap. Our sector dashboard below shows that, in terms of risk premium relative to risk-free rates, the consumer staples sector is now in the middle range of all sectors (you can see the full dashboard here). It features a small positive dividend yield Z-score of 0.27 (a good sign) but a quite negative yield spread Z-score of -0.9 (which is a bad sign).
To add to the valuation risks, the overall market is at an elevated valuation itself. It features a very narrow positive dividend yield Z-score of 0.13 and again a quite negative yield spread Z-score of -0.83 (both obtained by simply averaging all the sectors in the dashboard). And PG itself features a yield spread relative to both the overall market and XLP near the thinnest level in a decade.

Massive oil spill in The Bahamas
The environmental disaster occurred in waters off Exuma
Some 30,000 gallons of oil have spilled into the ocean in The Bahamas, according to government officials.
The environmental disaster occurred in Exuma waters overnight on Tuesday, according to Acting Prime Minister Chester Cooper on Wednesday.
Mr Cooper said that the spill was caused by The Arabian, a vessel contracted for Sun Oil, as it was offloading fuel at the Old Navy Base in George Town, The Nassau Guardian reported. “We are advised at the moment that the oil is contained in the bay the area of the Exuma Sailing Club,” the acting PM said.
Officials in The Bahamas were visiting the site of the spill on Wednesday morning and an update would be forthcoming, a government representative told The Independent.

Aldi is launching an Olaplex-inspired haircare range – and prices start from just £3.50
The bonding beauty range includes a shampoo, conditioner and pre-wash treatment
Whether it’s a Tom Ford-inspired perfume, an IT Cosmetics-esque CC cream, or a budget alternative to Crocs, pocket-friendly supermarket Aldi is the undisputed queen of dupes. And now, it’s taking on the titan of haircare, Olaplex.
Since launching in 2014, the brand has expanded its range from two in-salon products and an at-home treatment to a nine-strong range that helps achieve salon-quality locks at home.
Almost universally dubbed a hair saviour, Olaplex products work to repair broken bonds caused by colouring and give a much-needed moisture boost to lacklustre locks. In our tried and tested review, our tester said: “After just four weeks of use, our hair felt healthier, smoother, and a whole lot shinier.”
With its meteoric success, it’s no surprise that Aldi has now sought to replicate the brand’s hair lines. Available to pre-order from this Sunday and in-store from 28 July, the pocket-friendly bonding range starts from just £3.49 and includes a shampoo, conditioner and pre-wash hair treatment which all promise to hydrate and repair hair.
With Olaplex bottles costing around £28 and a whopping £56 for the shampoo and conditioner bundle, Aldi’s budget dupe range is a tempting proposition. So, here’s everything you need to know...

Lacura bonded shampoo and conditioner: £3.49, Aldi.co.uk – available from 24 July
Aldi’s 250ml shampoo and conditioner bottles – which come combined in a bundle – are nearly 90 per cent cheaper than a single bottle of Olaplex’s No4 bond repair shampoo (£28, Lookfantastic.com). While it doesn’t contain Olaplex’s hero ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, which helps hair bonding, Aldi does note that the cruelty-free formula is made with “premium ingredients.” These include vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and hydrogenated castor oil which are all beneficial for healthier hair. Available to pre-order from this Sunday, you can pick up the bottles in-store from Thursday 28 July.
Lacura bonded pre-wash hair treatment: £3.49, Aldi.co.uk – available from 24 July
A dupe for Olaplex’s No.3 hair perfector (£28, Lookfantastic), Aldi’s pre-wash hair treatment contains the same bonding “premium” ingredients as the shampoo and conditioner. Similarly to Olaplex’s bestselling pre-shampoo treatment, the bottle is designed to be used as a hydrating leave-in treatment before you wash your hair.

Expectation versus reality - examining air filter performance
It is well established that efficient and effective filtration is one of the foundational pillars of any well-designed building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. David Schurk of Global Plasma Solutions and ASHRAE looks at maintaining both efficiency and effectiveness.
Efficiency versus effectiveness
It is well established that efficient and effective filtration is one of the foundational pillars of any well-designed building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. With regard to air filters and cleaners, efficiency is a term that refers to the ability of a collecting medium to capture contaminants from the airstream that passes through it. The effectiveness of an air cleaner refers to its ability to reduce particulate concentrations in a space. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tells us “It should be noted that expected removal efficiencies for air cleaning devices are not the same as the effectiveness of the unit in actual use. Efficiency only measures the percent removal of contaminants in the air that flows through the air cleaning device. Effectiveness in use depends on how much of the interior air actually goes through the unit in a given time period”1. If space contaminants in the air do not pass through the air filter that is tasked with their removal, the effectiveness (actual contaminants removed) may be less than expected regardless of the filter’s rated efficiency. Simply put, a filter described as very efficient may not be all that effective in actual use.
Rating filter efficiency
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 52.2 Method of testing general ventilation air-cleaning devices for removal efficiency by particle size has established a test procedure for evaluating the performance of air-cleaning devices (filters) as a function of particle size. This standard describes a method of laboratory testing to measure the performance of general ventilation air-cleaning devices using a test apparatus like the one shown in figure 1 (Below).
Summarizing the test procedure, a stable, dry, and uniform challenge aerosol (particulate) ranging in size from 0.30 to 10.0 micrometers (μm) is introduced downstream of an injection fan which is positioned immediately upstream of the air filter being evaluated. This propels test particles into the inlet of the filter at air velocities up to a number of meters per second (several hundred feet per minute (fpm). A particle counter then measures and counts the particles both upstream and downstream of the filter for the efficiency determinations. ASHRAE cautions that the user must be aware that the tests are made under laboratory conditions using synthetic dust for loading. They also specifically state: “Since the contaminant used for loading is not typical of natural atmospheric dust, its effect on the filter may not be the same as an equal amount of atmospheric duct. The value of the loading test is for rating and to some extent ranking filters. The performance values obtained in accordance with this standard cannot be used by themselves to predict air cleanliness of a specific ventilated space or the service life of an installed filter.”
While the ASHRAE rating methodology may be a useful measure of an air cleaner’s tested efficiency, it may not be indicative of its effectiveness in true application. Most real-world contaminants are not synthetic, and the vast majority of particles in the indoor air we breathe are smaller (much smaller) than the minimum 0.30 μm size used for these rating procedures. Typical room air velocities may range more on the order of 0.1 to 0.25 meters per second (20-50 fpm), and many HVAC systems do not have return air injection fans. As well, the contaminants of concern in the air may be located considerable distances from the filter itself and are not force-fed at close range and high velocity into the inlet of the device tasked with removing them.
The National Air Filtration Association (NAFA) Guide to Air Filtration, Sixth Edition 2021, reminds us that while we are inclined to think of air filtration as an irreversible action where a dust particle is captured once and then stays captured, this is not true of dry media filters, especially those in the high-efficiency range. A particle may be captured by a fiber only to become restrained in the airstream and then either be captured by another fiber downstream or pass through the filter altogether. When considering commercial HVAC applications, multiple filters may be installed for side access, and slid into the filter housing on formed metal tracks. Formed metal tracks may offer no sealing mechanism at the filter-to-track interface, or between filters installed side-by-side. Often standard-size filters do not completely fill these tracks. This lack of sealing may result in significant leakage via air bypass, which can degrade overall filtration efficiency 2. All of the real-world dynamics mentioned above will certainly have an impact on any air-cleaners true effectiveness.
Applying current guidance
Scientific study has concluded that small particles and pathogens (including SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses) may be of insufficient mass to be controlled by bulk airflow and can remain suspended in the indoor air for days or even weeks. It reported that significant fractions of the fine and ultra-fine particles in the air may not be effectively transported to or removed by conventional air filters, and that even ultralow penetration and HEPA filters are only effective on the particles and pathogens that can reach the filter, not those that remain suspended in the space 3. ASHRAE stated in a November 2020 interview that research has not provided evidence of the transmission (of SARS-CoV-2) virus through HVAC systems, although within a space, air motion caused by HVAC system components as well as fans can be a factor 4. On March 23, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control Preventions (CDC) updated their COVID-19 Ventilation FAQs titled: Can COVID-19 be transmitted through HVAC ventilation systems? They stated that the risk of spreading SARS-CoV-2 through ventilation systems is not currently clear, and that while airflows within a particular space may help spread disease among people in that space, there is no definitive evidence to date that viable virus has been transmitted through an HVAC system to result in disease transmission to people in other spaces served by the same system.
This latest information could be telling us that traditional HVAC strategies might have a reduced impact on cleaning the indoor environment because the small pollutants of concern are not being effectively moved out of the space and into the HVAC system to be exhausted, filtered, or additionally treated. HVAC system air cleaning strategies should certainly be capable of more than just waiting for virus and contaminant-laden air to “get to it” for treatment. Easily understood is a simple concept that if the pollutants in the space are removed, they are no longer a concern to its inhabitants. This would be a major accomplishment for all building air cleaning systems, therefore something different than what we are now doing may warrant consideration. Understanding these dynamics is key in helping us to properly design building HVAC systems that can contribute to the well-being and productivity of occupants breathing the indoor air.
Improving IAQ
Because ventilation and filtration are the foundation of any well-designed building HVAC system, implementing additional measures to ensure they perform better makes sense if we are to achieve maximum results. Designs that enhance ventilation rate effectiveness, help maintain proper indoor relative humidity, and actively treat to clean the air within the indoor space itself (where the contaminates of concern originate and may remain) could prove prudent. Any technology that improves the efficacy of traditional ventilation and filtration warrants thoughtful consideration. Understanding the subtle but important difference between efficiency and effectiveness and then taking steps to improve both, maybe a major step toward making the air we breathe indoors as clean, safe, and healthy as it can possibly be.

Aztecs Bow Out of Big Dance in the Opening Round, Losing to Houston
By Zach Engberg
San Diego State men’s basketball’s run in the NCAA Tournament was a short one, as the Mountain West Conference Tournament champions fell to the University of Houston Thursday afternoon, with a 67-65 score.
After a miracle run entering the tournament, winning their last nine games, the Aztecs’ (22-11) season ended on an unanswered prayer, as senior guard and team captain Trey Kell missed a straight-on, turnaround 30-footer as time expired.
“We have a play for that,” Kell said after the loss. “It’s called home run… Simple read. It’s either catch it and throw it to the guy streaking to the corner or if I have a good look, turn around and square up and shoot it. And I wasn’t able to knock it down.”
Much like how they closed the conference season and tournament, the No. 11 seed Aztecs – who trailed by as many as 13 points in the second half – furiously rallied, tying the game with 29 seconds left on a three by junior guard Devin Watson.
But SDSU could not stop Houston’s Rob Gray, who scored 39 points, making more field goals (12) than the rest of his team (10), and who dropped in the final bucket, a windmill layup in between three SDSU defenders with one second left.
Dutcher said in the postgame presser that he was proud of his team, the first he has led as head coach of the Aztecs.
“It’s March. We had a March-type shot to win the game and didn’t go in,” Dutcher said. “I’m so proud of my team, the effort they put forward today. To come from 13 down in the second half and fight all the way back in the game and have a shot to win it in the end, I couldn’t be more proud of a group than I am of this one.”
The difference in the game – aside from Gray’s dominance – was SDSU’s struggles from free-throw line.
The Aztecs, who have historically struggled from the charity stripe, shot only 21-35 from the line, squandering several chances to close the gap late in the second half.
“That’s an awful lot to miss, Dutcher said. “So we left some points on the free-throw line obviously. If we could have made a few more of those, the outcome might have been different. But that’s basketball. You have to step up there and make them when they’re important.”

Luckily for the Aztecs, three of their starters – freshmen forwards Matt Mitchell and Jalen McDaniels and junior guard Devin Watson – will return next year with tournament experience.
McDaniels, who entered the starting lineup halfway into the season, led the team with 18 points and held his own at the line, shooting 9-12.
Sadly for Kell and Pope, their careers will end with a last-second loss.
The duo, who have one tournament win and this season’s MW conference championship to their SDSU legacy, combined for 23 points and 19 rebounds in the heartbreaking loss.
Notes:
Dutcher brought the Aztecs to the tournament in his first year as head coach, one of 15 first-year head coaches in the Big Dance this season. Dutcher was a longtime assistant to Steve Fisher, who won the championship in his first season as head coach at the University of Michigan in 1989.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that it was not clear in what condition the Nord Stream 1 turbine will be returned in after repairs in Canada, adding to uncertainty about the pipeline, which is due back in operation after maintenance.
Putin said that there was also a risk that the serviced equipment could be switched off, which would stop gas flows through Nord Stream 1.
Kremlin-controlled energy giant Gazprom cut gas exports to Europe via the route to 40% capacity in June, blaming delays in the return of a turbine that Siemens Energy was servicing in Canada.
That turbine, which was caught up in sanctions, was reported this week to be on its way back to be refitted.
"Now they are saying that they will return these machines, at least one of them. But in which quality will they be returned, what are the technical parameters after this repair, which is planned?" Putin said at a televised event.
"Maybe... they will turn it off at some point, and that's it, and Nord Stream 1 will stop, because they came from there, from Canada," Putin added without elaborating.
Nord Stream 1 is the single largest direct Russian gas supply route to Europe, It is due to restart gas exports on Thursday after a 10-day annual maintenance.
Putin also suggested earlier on Wednesday there might be a further reduction in supplies via the pipeline that runs under the Baltic Sea to Germany, Europe's economic powerhouse which has relied heavily on Russian fuel. | https://www.anews.com.tr/economy/2022/07/20/putin-we-are-yet-to-see-the-quality-of-returned-nord-stream-1-equipment | 2022-07-20T16:22:54Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/economy/2022/07/20/putin-we-are-yet-to-see-the-quality-of-returned-nord-stream-1-equipment | false | 5 |
Wyndham hotel rooms could go away; sale to New York firm nixed by city council
The future of the Wyndham City Center as a hotel could be in doubt after the Springfield City Council Tuesday rebuffed a proposal from a New York-based company Tuesday.
The current owner of the Wyndham, Springfield's tallest building at 30 stories, insisted its hotel rooms would go away, with a plan in place to have 200 units of government-assisted housing.
The possible disappearance of 400 downtown hotel rooms would put the city in a lurch as conventions appear to pick up after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The plan to sell the Wyndham to GoodHomes, which had plans to install a penthouse observation deck and food court, ended in a 5-5 vote Tuesday.
More:Wyndham hotel rooms could go away; sale to New York firm nixed by city council
The zoning variance, which would have allowed for 320 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and 80 hotel rooms, needed seven votes to pass because of earlier action by the Springfield Planning and Zoning Commission.
Earlier, the Springfield-Sangamon County Regional Planning Commission recommended denial of the project.
Scott Dahl, the director of the Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the city has 26 conventions with peak room nights, over 300 rooms, from 2023 to 2025. In that period, downtown alone has 56,000 room nights booked.
"There will be fallout for sure (without the Wyndham)," Dahl said.
Mayor Jim Langfelder said the city would circle back with Al Rajabi, who bought the Wyndham in 2019, to see what could be done to retain its current value.
"No one wants to lose hotel spaces," Langfelder said afterward. "If he's going (with just apartments), then we've really lost out."
Voting against the project were Ward 1 Ald. Chuck Redpath, Ward 4 Ald. John Fulgenzi, Ward 6 Ald. Kristin DiCenso, Ward 9 Ald. Jim Donelan and Ward 10 Ald. Ralph Hanauer.
Ward 5 Ald. Lakeisha Purchase said Friday was the first time she heard about the low-income housing as Rajabi's "last option."
"This is what we did not want," Purchase said.
Rajabi, who had planned to turn the hotel into a Marriott before the pandemic struck, refused to answer questions afterward.
"That's your city leadership," he said, boarding an elevator after the meeting.
David Mitchell, representing the proposed buyer Tuesday, said the project was pegged at $40 million with a substantial re-do of the inside of the hotel.
The hotel rooms would have been styled on Marriott "luxury hotel suites," Mitchell said, but DiCenso reminded Mitchell that "we're a corndog and doughnut kind of town."
During the meeting, Rajabi said he was operating at 24% capacity and that wasn't sustainable as a business model.
"I'm really sad this is where we're at," Rajabi said. "I don't want to do government-assisted housing. That's not in my business plan, but that's the only option I have because the building has to be updated."
Dahl said the capacity of the Wyndham isn't "a reflection of what's happening in Springfield from the travel and tourism side moving past a 100-year pandemic.
"It's been a tough two years (for big box hotels), but we're trending upwards," Dahl added. "By 2025, I predict we'll be running 1 million rooms in the city of Springfield (with the addition of the Scheels Sports Complex), so I don't understand why you wouldn't make that investment on the hotel side."
The downtown hotel began as the Forum 30 in 1974. It was renamed the Hilton Tower in 1980 but became known simply as the Springfield Hilton. The change to Hilton, including new signage, took place in 1998. The hotel switched its brand to Wyndham in late 2015

Housing affordability is set to worsen to levels last seen early in the financial crisis as rising mortgage rates compound high prices, according to S&P Global Ratings.
By the end of this year, mortgage payments will make up 28% of income for the typical first-time buyer — the highest since the first quarter of 2007 — assuming a 10% down payment, S&P North American Chief Economist Beth Ann Bovino said in a report. Mortgages shouldn’t exceed 25% of income to be considered affordable, per guidelines from the National Association of Realtors.
That threshold has already been breached for low- and middle-income buyers and will remain “well above” it through 2025, leaving 60% of US households out of the market, S&P said.
“High home purchase prices don’t necessarily mean that homes have become unaffordable, but after over a decade of relatively benign home purchase conditions, our analysis of housing market conditions shows affordability has worsened in recent years,” the report said.
The housing market is coming off its boil as the Federal Reserve aggressively raises interest rates, which has sent mortgage rates up near the highest level since 2008. That’s crowding out buyers who were already struggling with record prices.
For prospective homebuyers, that means signing a contract could be decades away. By the fourth quarter of 2022, it’ll take 11.3 years for a first-time buyer with median income to save for a 10% down payment, and twice as long for 20%, S&P said. Before the pandemic, each took half as long. | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/07/20/us-housing-affordability-is-set-to-drop-to-2007-levels-this-year-sp-says/ | 2022-07-20T16:24:14Z | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/07/20/us-housing-affordability-is-set-to-drop-to-2007-levels-this-year-sp-says/ | true | 12 |

The Georgia-born 16-year-old's manager Gina Rodriguez told TMZ on Wednesday that she's enlisting Dr. Steven Batash to help her go from 275lbs to 150lbs at his Endoscopic Weight Loss Center in Rego Park, NY.
Suture Sculpt is done endoscopically (through the mouth) and a sleeve is created by folding the stomach with sutures, so there are no cuts or scars and it can reduce stomach size by 60%.

Recovery for patients takes one to three days and they experience a sense of being full after eating smaller portions of food, so they lose 20% of their total body weight within 12 months on average.
However, according to the website, 'a solid commitment to a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and dietary intake, is required for long-term success.'
Alana is worried her weight is genetic and she hasn't been satisfied with the results of just dieting or increasing exercise.
Since Thompson is underage her half-sister Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird - who's her legal guardian - has to sign off on the procedure specifically for people with a BMI of 30 or greater.

After successfully shrinking from a size 18 to size 4, June went on to gain 60lbs during the coronavirus pandemic after getting sober.

Record year for petitions pushing requests through parliament
Luxembourg residents last year increasingly turned to their computer keyboards to make their demands known to politicians, increasing the number of public petitions seeking action by nearly 60%, a lawmaker said on Wednesday.
In the year ending this month, Luxembourg residents introduced a record 428 petitions they hoped would prompt action from lawmakers, up from 271 over the previous year, said Nancy Arendt, the president of the Parliament's petitions committee.
They included petitions calling for laws allowing every Luxembourg worker to be able to work from home two days a week, to shorten the working week to 35 hours, to ease rules barring the unvaccinated from public or working spaces, and to make English the country's fourth official language.
Deputies are required to discuss any petition that gathers at least 4,500 signatures within a period of 42 days, with some proposals becoming law as a result.
The public most often demanded that politicians address issues related to health (20%), transportation (15%), work and employment (10%) and society and family topics (10%), according to a statement on the parliament's website.

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Royal Bank of Canada RY.
What's Happening
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of $1.28 per share. On Monday, Royal Bank of Canada will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open $1.28 lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own RY as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the $1.28 dividend payout for every share that they own.
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on August 24, 2022. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

Johnson ‘wants Truss to win election’ Former PM adviser says Boris found Rishi ‘difficult’
BORIS JOHNSON "wants Liz Truss to win the election" to become the next Prime Minister because he found Rishi Sunak "very difficult to work with all the way along" his time as chancellor, a former aide to the PM has said.
Tory leadership: Johnson wants Truss to win says Montgomerie
Boris Johnson’s former adviser Tim Montgomerie claimed the Prime Minister did not “like the way his chancellor behaved towards him” while they were together in cabinet. Mr Montgomerie said Mr Johnson would likely favour an early vote if it benefitted the current foreign secretary, owing in large part to his dislike of Mr Sunak. But, he added a note of caution in trusting the early polls suggesting Ms Truss is now the favourite to be the new Tory leader, saying they do not always prove to be “true”.
Mr Montgomerie told GB News: “I think it is not a great secret, I think Boris Johnson wants Liz Truss to win this election.
“The gossip, and I think it is fairly well established gossip, is that Boris Johnson did not like the way his chancellor behaved towards him.
“He found him not just disloyal for resigning from his cabinet at the last minute but found him to be someone that was very difficult to work with all the way along.
“And so, if it looks like Liz Truss will do very well from an early vote of Tory members, I don’t think Boris Johnson will be discouraging that.”
He added: “But there is a lot of conventional wisdom in these elections that is not always true and that is why I think we should not assume that an early vote would favour Liz Truss because it may well be that that opinion polling does really affect voters.
“We also have a BBC debate, a head-to-head, this coming Monday, which will be very important.
“That will certainly happen before the ballot papers go out, so that will be really critical.
“And I think Rishi Sunak, in particular, does need to avoid that sort of nasty attack on Liz Truss.”

Former finance minister Rishi Sunak and foreign secretary Liz Truss will battle it out to become Britain's next prime minister after they won the final lawmaker vote, setting up the last stage of the contest to replace Boris Johnson.
Mr Sunak has led in all rounds of the voting among Conservative lawmakers, but it is Ms Truss who seems to have gained the advantage so far among the 200,000 members of the governing party who will ultimately choose the winner.
The final stretch of a weeks-long contest will pit Mr Sunak, a former Goldman Sachs banker who has raised the tax burden towards the highest level since the 1950s, against Ms Truss, a convert to Brexit who has pledged to cut taxes and regulation.
Whoever triumphs when the result is announced on September 5 will inherit some of the most difficult conditions in Britain in decades. Inflation is on course to hit 11 percent annually, growth is stalling, industrial action is on the rise and the pound is near historic lows against the dollar.

Have your say: Do you think Boris should come back as PM? [POLL]
Eleven candidates originally put their names forward for the leadership vacancy, but in a fifth and final ballot of Conservative lawmakers on Wednesday, the junior trade minister Penny Mordaunt was eliminated. Mr Sunak won 137 votes, versus Ms Truss' 113 and Ms Mordaunt's 105.
Polls show Ms Truss would beat Mr Sunak in the party members' contest, opening up the chance that the party elects a leader who was not the most popular choice for lawmakers at Westminster.
Ms Truss thanked her supporters after the announcement of the final two, writing on social media: “I'm ready to hit the ground from day one.”
Mr Sunak wrote: “Grateful that my colleagues have put their trust in me today. I will work night and day to deliver our message around the country.”

Chipotle is closing a Maine store that had been leading efforts to unionize the chain.
Employees at the Augusta, Maine, Chipotle filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board in June asking to hold a union election at the store. It was the first of the Mexican food chain’s stores to file such a petition, according to NLRB filings.
The NLRB had scheduled a hearing Tuesday on Chipotle’s objections to the union election. But early Tuesday, Chipotle announced it was permanently closing the store.
Labor organizers say they will fight the closure. They say Chipotle is retaliating for their unionization efforts and trying to send a message to other stores that might try to unionize.
“We’re calling this union busting 101,” said Jeffrey Young, an attorney for Chipotle United, the group that was trying to unionize the Augusta store.
But Chipotle said the closure was due to staffing issues and not related to union activity.
“Chipotle respects our employees’ rights to organize,” said Laurie Schalow, Chipotle’s chief corporate affairs officer, in a statement.
The closure comes amid a broader unionization push across the country. Chipotle United has said it was inspired by labor organizers at Starbucks, who have unionized more than 180 U.S. stores since late last year. Amazon workers at a warehouse in New York also voted to unionize in the spring
Newport Beach, California-based Chipotle said the Augusta store had been closed to the public since June 17 because of staffing issues. The company said it was facing “excessive” absences and lack of availability from existing staff and was having a hard time finding managers for the store.
Chipotle said the store’s workers will receive severance pay and assistance finding new jobs. Young said there were about 20 workers at the store.
Young said inadequate staffing at the store is one of the chief complaints of union organizers. Chipotle United plans to ask the NLRB to file an injunction that would prevent Chipotle from closing the Augusta store and allow the union election to go forward.
Starbucks has also been criticized by labor organizers for closing stores that have unionized, including a store it shuttered last month in Ithaca, New York.
Unlike Starbucks’ unionization effort, which is backed by the larger Workers United union, Chipotle United is an independent organization.
But big unions are also backing organizing efforts at Chipotle. The Teamsters filed a unionization petition with the NLRB this month on behalf of workers at a Chipotle store in Lansing, Michigan. There is also a group called Chipotle Workers Union that is backed by the Service Employees International Union.

US home sales fell in June as prices reach new heights
(AP) - Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed for the fifth consecutive month in June as higher mortgage rates and rising prices kept many home hunters on the sidelines.
Existing home sales fell 5.4% last month from May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.12 million, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday.
That’s lower than the 5.37 million home sales pace economists were expecting, according to FactSet. Sales fell 14.2% from June last year.
After climbing to a 6.49 million annual rate in January, sales have fallen to the slowest pace since June 2020, near the start of the pandemic, when they were running at an annualized rate of 4.77 million homes. Excluding the pandemic-related slowdown, sales in June were running at the slowest pace since January 2019.
Even as home sales slowed, home prices kept climbing in June. The national median home price jumped 13.4% in June from a year earlier to $416,000. That’s an all-time high according to data going back to 1999, NAR said. Despite the increase, home prices are not climbing as much as they were earlier this year.
“With each passing month it appears price appreciation is less strong than earlier months,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist.
The June’s sales report is the late evidence that the housing market, a key driver of economic growth, is slowing as homebuyers grapple with sharply higher mortgage rates than a year ago.
“A combination of higher prices and higher mortgage rates clearly has shifted the dynamics in the housing market,” Yun said. “Home sales will only begin to stabilize once mortgage rates begin to stabilize.”
The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate home loan climbed to 5.51% last week, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. A year ago it averaged 2.88%.
Mortgage rates have been climbing in response to a sharp increase in 10-year Treasury yields, reflecting expectations of higher interest rates overall as the Federal Reserve raises its benchmark rate in a bid to quell the highest inflation in decades.
Even with higher mortgage rates straining affordability, homes that sold didn’t stay on the market for long. On average, homes sold in just 14 days of hitting the market last month, the fastest sales pace tracked by the NAR. It was 16 days in May. Before the pandemic, homes typically sold more than 30 days after being listed for sale.
House hunters able to navigate the impact of higher mortgage rates had a wider selection of homes to choose from last month, at least. The number of properties for sale jumped 9.6% from May to 1.26 million, and rose 2.4% from June last year — the first annual increase in three years, Yun said.
Still, at the current sales pace, the level of for-sale properties amounts to a 3-month supply, the NAR said. That’s up from 2.6 months in May, and 2.5 months a year ago. That’s still short of the 5- to 6-month supply that reflects a more balanced market between buyers and sellers.
Despite the still-tight supply of homes for sale, rising mortgage rates and prices, first-time buyers accounted for 30% of sales last month, NAR said. That’s up from 27% in May, but still low by historical standards, when first-time buyers made up as much as 40% or more of transactions.
Real estate investors and other buyers able to buy a home with just cash, sidestepping the need to rely on financing, accounted for 25% of all sales last month, NAR said.

LIZ Truss will fight Rishi Sunak to be Britain's next Prime Minister after edging out Penny Mordaunt in the Tory leadership race.
The Foreign Secretary leapfrogged the Trade Minister to bag second place in the fifth and final ballot of Conservative MPs this afternoon.
She will now do battle with the former Chancellor for the keys to No10 in a wider vote of party members later this summer.
Mr Sunak cruised into the final two with 137 votes, retaining the first place lead he has wielded since the voting began last week.
Ms Truss shot up 27 to secure 113 votes, sneaking in by just eight votes to Ms Mordaunt's 105 - up 13.
It means either Ms Truss or Mr Sunak will succeed Boris Johnson on September 6 after a series of hustings to woo the 160,000 card-carrying Conservatives.
Ms Truss is the bookies favourite to enter Downing St after championing low-tax policies that go down a storm with grassroots activists.
Following the result she said: "As Prime Minister I would hit the ground running from day one, unite the Party and govern in line with Conservative values."
A Sunak spokeswoman said: "This is a really strong result with a clear mandate from MPs.
"He will now work night and day to get the mandate from the wider Conservative party family to beat Labour, protect the Union and seize the opportunities of Brexit."
Today's result sets up a spectacular summer showdown between her and Mr Sunak that risks stoking more blue-on-blue slanging.
The top Tories tore chunks out of each other in the TV debate last week.
Mr Sunak accused the Foreign Sec of peddling "socialist" policies after accusing her of spraying around unfunded tax cuts.
She shot back that his slate of tax rises had put the country on course for a brutal recession.
They will go head to head in the first final two TV debate on the BBC next Monday.
Ms Mordaunt crashed out of the contest after clinging onto second place for the entirety of the contest.
Most read in The Sun
But her day got off to a terrible start after saying colleagues who vote for either Mr Sunak or Ms Truss risk "murdering" the Conservative Party.
She deleted the tweet following a huge backlash, with wags reminding her of her promise to run a clean campaign.
Tory MP and Sunak supporter Richard Holden said: "Language like this shows a complete lack of judgement."
Ms Mordaunt said this afternoon: "I also want to congratulate both Rishi and Liz in getting through to the next stage.
"I pay tribute to anyone who puts themselves forward for such a demanding role. Politics isn’t easy.
"It can be a divisive and difficult place. We must all now work together to unify our party and focus on the job that needs to be done."
Ms Truss and Ms Mordaunt went into the final ballot of Tory MPs separated by just six votes.
Ms Truss managed to mop up support from Kemi Badenoch's campaign after she crashed out last night.
Anti-woke rising star Ms Badenoch did not publicly endorse anyone, although her backers were more aligned with low-tax pioneer Ms Truss.
The Foreign Sec had been closing in on Ms Mordaunt during the contest after rival right-wingers fell away and united around her.
Labour's Conor McGinn reacted to the result: "The choice to be the next Tory leader is down to the two continuity candidates.
"Both Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak are stooges of the Johnson administration whose fingerprints are all over the state the country finds itself in today."
THE FINAL 2 - WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT ARE THEY PROMISING?
RISHI SUNAK
Key pitch: No tax cuts until inflation under control
The former Chancellor has laid out his stall as the candidate for economic responsibility while rivals go gung-ho on tax cuts.
He has promised to cut taxes only when inflation has been brought under control, warning to do so now would just hike prices higher.
Key policies:
- Cut taxes when inflation is down and public finances are repaired
- Plough on with the planned rise to 25 per cent corporation tax
- Keep the Rwanda immigration policy to cut small boats crossings
- Keep defence spending at current levels with no increase
- Publish a manifesto to protect women's rights
- Open the door to scrapping the BBC Licence Fee in the future
LIZ TRUSS
Key pitch: Tax cuts on day one as PM
Liz Truss is also pledging to cut taxes on her first day in office if she wins the contest.
The Foreign Secretary - who is yet to formally launch her campaign - has also vowed to publicly recognise China's persecution of Uighurs as a genocide.
Key policies:
- Reverse NICs hike and cut taxes from day one
- Reform the Euro court and leave altogether if not possible
- Publicly recognise the genocide in China
- Reduce the size of the state in comparison to the private sector | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/19262993/liz-truss-and-rishi-sunak-will-battle-to-be-pm/ | 2022-07-20T16:29:42Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/19262993/liz-truss-and-rishi-sunak-will-battle-to-be-pm/ | false | 2 |
by Jennifer Shutt, Georgia Recorder [This article first appeared in the Georgia Recorder and in the States Newsroom, republished with permission]
July 20, 2022
WASHINGTON — Both Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. House voted Tuesday to enshrine the right to same-sex and interracial marriages in federal law, though the bill’s path forward in the Senate is unclear.
The 267-157 bipartisan vote stemmed from concerns that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last month to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion may not be the only fundamental right the conservative justices could undo. A total of 47 Republicans voted for the bill, none from Georgia.
The Respect for Marriage Act, sponsored by New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler, would require state government to recognize marriages from other states regardless of the sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin of the two people in the marriage.
Rep. Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat, urged members to approve the bill, saying during floor debate “it simply says each state will recognize other states’ marriages and not deny a person the right to marry based on race, gender, sexual orientation.”
“The only reason to be against it is because you really don’t want to go on record as being in favor of those rights,” Cohen continued.
Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan spoke against the legislation, saying that it was “unnecessary and wrong” for the House to take up the bill.
The Democrats’ decision to bring the measure to the floor, he said, was designed for political messaging heading into the November midterm elections.
The U.S. Supreme Court, Jordan contended, will not overturn any other precedents the way it overturned two cases that kept abortion legal for nearly half a century.
Jordan then read from the majority opinion by Associate Justice Samuel Alito that said: “To ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterized, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.”
Democrats who took to the floor during debate said the bill is necessary given Associate Justice Clarence Thomas’ opinion in the abortion case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Thomas wrote that the court should reconsider three cases that stem from the same due process clause under the 14th Amendment that previously included the right to an abortion.
Those cases — Griswold v. Connecticut, Obergefell v. Hodges and Lawrence v. Texas — allowed people to determine if and when to use contraceptives, legalized same-sex marriages and prevented the government from criminalizing adult private consensual sexual relationships.
LGBTQ advocates have pushed for Congress to enshrine the right to marry and reproductive rights supporters have encouraged lawmakers to guarantee that women can continue deciding whether to use birth control without government interference.
All are concerned the conservative Supreme Court may overturn those fundamental rights in the future based on the Thomas opinion.
The U.S. House is expected to vote on a bill Thursday that would ensure women have the ability to choose if and how they use contraception.
That legislation, from North Carolina Democratic Rep. Kathy Manning, has 139 co-sponsors in the House, none of whom are Republicans.
It’s unclear if the marriage bill the House passed Tuesday can garner the GOP support needed to clear the U.S. Senate’s 60-vote legislative filibuster.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, declined to say Tuesday afternoon during a press conference if he’d vote for the marriage equality bill or whip his members against supporting it.
“I’m going to delay announcing anything on that issue until we see what the majority leader wants to put on the floor,” McConnell said.

New funding and executive leadership team to accelerate product innovation and investment into the open source community
SAN FRANCISCO , July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dgraph, the company behind the most popular open source Graph database, announced a $6 million seed re-financing round led by Venrock and Uncorrelated Ventures, with participation from Abstract Ventures, HackVC, SaxeCap, and Liquid2 Ventures. World-class executives also joined the round, including DJ Patil, former US Chief Data Scientist; Michael Callahan, founder of Awake Security; Ry Walker, founder of Astronomer; Ganesh Srinivasan, Chief Product Officer at Confluent; Chris Riccomini; and JP Patil, Head of Data at Included Health.
Dgraph's founders deeply understood distributed systems and building graph systems at scale, and saw the need to build a better graph database platform that could serve as an entire application backend. By bringing the backend into a single place and the database and service layer into a single solution, developers can use Dgraph as their backend rather than just their database.
Since its initial open source release in 2016, Dgraph has become the most popular open source Graph database on GitHub and the youngest company to be named in Forrester's Graph Data Platform landscape.
New executive team to lead product innovations and growth
Database industry veteran Akon Dey, Ph.D., recently joined as CEO bringing over two decades of experience in the database, data stream, and enterprise data systems space, including Yahoo! Inc. and Visa.
Under Dey's leadership, Dgraph will use the new funds to accelerate building go-to-market teams and initiatives to support a growing customer base, in addition to investments in product development for new use cases and applications. The team is also focused on a renewed stewardship to the Dgraph community and will introduce a new set of features to the open source project.
"Dgraph users love the horizontal scalability, high performance, flexible data model and ease of use," said Dey. "With our cloud offering we can ensure companies at any stage are able to quickly, reliably and cost effectively bring their applications to market. In addition, the Dgraph community has been a vibrant and significant contributor to the advancement and success of Dgraph. We are committed to supporting the community and looking forward to the continued collaboration".
Joining Dey on the executive team is Gajanan Chinchwadkar, Ph.D., as Chief Technology Officer, an industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience at AWS, Marklogic and Sybase in distributed database systems, multi-modal query engines and query optimization.
"What excites me about Dgraph is that GraphQL is a widely accepted language by application developers and DQL is also highly sought after by Dgraph users," said Chinchwadkar. "With our expertise in building query and search engines for a variety of data models, we will be able to build an even more performant and feature-rich query engine for Dgraph to satisfy the growing needs of modern applications."
The era of the new cloud database
According to Gartner, cloud databases now represent half of the $80B database market, growing 22% CAGR. Dgraph offers customers a general-purpose distributed cloud database that supports graph-oriented use cases and a broad set of applications. Dgraph was written in Go and is available as an Apache 2.0 licensed community edition and an enterprise offering with additional enterprise-ready capabilities.
"The rapid growth in enterprise data has led to new scale and performance needs. As a result, new database engines are emerging to meet new demands of availability, horizontal scale, and latency," said Venrock Partner Ethan Batraski. "Dgraph's approach offers a cloud native, distributed architecture to building applications at scale, with a significantly more flexible and simplified approach to managing schemas, tables, and APIs, becoming the new default choice for application engineers."
"Most graph databases today are not truly distributed: they run fine on a couple of nodes but rely on a variety of architectural hacks to run on larger numbers of nodes, and thus aren't truly scalable," said Salil Deshpande, General Partner at Uncorrelated. "There are horizontally scalable NoSQL databases with graph overlays that are not built ground-up to be graph databases, so graph-like queries did not perform well; or there are databases that are indeed graph databases but are not architected to be horizontally scalable."
Customer Quotes
"We started our Dgraph journey back in 2018 to build our event-driven microservices application by using Dgraph as our main account related database," said John Zhou, Senior Engineering Manager, Lifeline (formerly Philips Lifeline). "The overall performance of Dgraph is amazing, and their support team is really hands-on and ready to support us at any time."
"At Knights Analytics, we selected Dgraph primarily due to its focus on the fundamental technical challenges of latency, horizontal scalability, and strong consistency guarantees," said Alex Ridden, Cofounder, Knights Analytics. "Native GraphQL support has proven to be a powerful feature, allowing us to build integrations and visualizations of graph data in short timeframes. Dgraph has been a great database option for our platform, allowing us to develop functionality which would have been significantly more challenging or impossible with other databases."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The All-Star Game showcased what baseball has become — home runs, strikeouts and offense-killing shifts.
The National League didn’t have a hit between the first and eighth innings of Tuesday night’s 3-2 loss, its ninth in a row.
In a sport where R&D has become as important as BP, four of the five runs scored on long balls.
There were 22 strikeouts, including the final three batters on 10 pitches by Cleveland’s Emmanuel Clase in a game that lasted 3 hours, 11 minutes despite just 13 hits, five walks, two hit batters and one runner reaching on a error.
Twenty All-Stars threw 299 pitches, 105 of them fastballs. The slowest fastball was 90.2 mph on the second pitch of the game from 34-year-old left-hander Clayton Kershaw.
Forty-eight were 98 mph or higher, and Ryan Helsley of the St. Louis Cardinals was velocity king. The 28-year-old topped 100 mph on eight of 15 tosses, the fastest a 103 mph blazer that Minnesota’s Luis Arraez fouled off in the eighth.
“I went out there, showed what I had,” Helsley said. “It was a cool environment being in this game.”
Seattle’s Ty France, greeted by Dodger Stadium organist Dieter Ruehle with “La Vie en Rose” when he pinch hit for his All-Star debut, fouled off a Helsley fastball, then struck out when he chased a low outside slider.
“The way game is now, everybody’s throwing that hard. It’s not fun to face, but it’s just how the game is,” France said. “To be able to step in the box on this stage, it was pretty cool.”
Clase, a 24-year-old Cleveland right-hander, threw 10 pitches ranging from 97.7 mph to 100.3 mph.
“Every time that bullpen door swings open, it’s velocity,” NL manager Brian Snitker said. “The guys, they weren’t like that. The closers weren’t throwing like they are now. But it’s kind of the way they are growing up and now they are trained — and amazing to me, the number of them, too. It’s like they just keep coming.”
Defensive positioning designed by Joe Espada, Dusty Baker’s bench coach in Houston, led to outs on balls that used to be hits.
Juan Soto’s third-inning grounder was gloved by second baseman Andrés Giménez 20 feet into right field. Kyle Schwarber’s bouncer in the seventh was picked up in the center of the diamond by shortstop Corey Seager, who started to the right of second, and Jake Cronenworth’s hopper went directly to second baseman Santiago Espinal 10 feet into right field.
“The shift giveth and the shift taketh away,” Baker said. “But still, I think it giveth more than it takes away.”
The batter’s eye in center field offered a vivid display of what has overtaken baseball — an array of high-speed cameras and radar equipment that track every ball’s spin, every player’s sprint and stumble.
Behinds the scenes, many teams consider their quants All-Stars, too. Houston’s front office includes a quantitative developer, plus two senior architects.
The NL did all its scoring during Shane McClanahan’s first 13 pitches of the first inning, getting Ronald Acuña Jr’s leadoff double, Mookie Betts’ RBI single and Paul Goldschmidt’s homer.
AL offense was even more condensed. Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run homer in the fourth off Tony Gonsolin, and Byron Buxton went deep four pitches later.
Not a surprise in a season that has been the big league batting average dip to .242, its lowest since 1967.
Baseball’s competition committee is considering changes for next season that some purists consider revolutionary and some conclude necessary. A pitch clock is almost certain after testing throughout the minors this year. Shift limits also have been proposed.
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is gung-ho for change, but players appear less enthusiastic for change. Still, the union agreed to let a committee with a management majority make changes starting with next season.
“Our players have been, unsurprisingly, very much engaged in the process,” union head Tony Clark said, “more than willing to offer their thoughts on what makes sense, what may not make sense, what may need to be adjusted and tweaked.”

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists at deCODE genetics a subsidiary of Amgen together with collaborators from Denmark report on the whole genome sequences of 150 thousand participants in the UK biobank in a paper published in the journal Nature today.
This is the first report from the largest whole genome sequencing effort to date where scientists from deCODE genetics and from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute are set to sequence 500 thousand whole genomes in three years.
The scientists at deCODE genetics found 600 millions SNPs and indels in these 150 thousand genomes corresponding to 7% of those that can theoretically occur in the human genome. It is however likely that some of the theoretically possible variants are incompatible with life.
This large dataset allowed the scientists to separate regions that are tolerant to large diversity in sequence from those that are not. The assumption is that regions that are intolerant to sequence diversity are important to human survival and procreation. It has long been held that coding exons are the regions most important to human survival. However, when the 1% of the genome with sequences that are best conserved are examined only 13% of them are coding exons.
"Data of this type and quantity are going to revolutionize our ability to identify and characterize intergenic sequences of importance to human diversity, be it to risk of disease and response to treatment or some other attributes," said Kari Stefansson the founder of deCODE and one of the authors of the paper.
Furthermore, scientists at deCODE also report on the association of variants that were not identified through whole exome sequencing with diseases and other phenotypes.
Participants in the UK biobank are of diverse genetic ancestry and have forefathers from most of the countries of the world. The scientists determined that 85% of the participants could trace most of their ancestry to the British Isles. The scientists also found a large group of participants who can trace their ancestry mostly to Africa and South Asia. This study is likely to represent the largest set of whole genome sequenced individuals of African and South-Asian origin. However, the imbalance in the ethnic mix of those contributing sequences to this study as well as to other studies already published is unfortunate from both societal and scientific point of views. Scientists at deCODE genetics are determined to work towards more ethnically balanced sequencing cohorts in the future.
Data from this study are available to qualified researchers at the UK biobank research analysis platform. SNP and indel frequency data are available at decaf.decode.com allowing for identification of clinically important sequence variants.

Wish to live to be 110 and older? Longevity study says you must tick all the items on this checklist
So, you want to work towards a long and healthy life. You wish to join the exclusive club of supercentenarians - people who live to 110 or older. Several studies have examined what are the factors that help these people age so healthily. Read on to discover.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Longevity is not just your genes, there are several other factors that help people age well.
- Supercentenarians have a few factors in common. And yes, love is one of the key ones among them.
- Want to know all the 6 factors that scientists now associate with extreme longevity? Read the report below.
Carl Sagan famously said in his narration in "The Pale Blue Dot" that the study of astronomy is a humbling experience. The same can be said of the realisation of mortality of all things living or the entropy of things. But while eternity and death remain unconquerable, the truth is that we can surely work towards living a long and healthy life with all our faculties intact.
According to a BBC report, in 2012 the United Nations estimated that there were about 316,600 people over 100 years of age who are living around the world. By 2050, that number – unbelievably – is expected to rise to over three million. Would you not want to be one among them?
A study titled "Characteristics of 32 Supercentenarians" reports that "Data collected thus far suggest that supercentenarians markedly delay and even escape clinical expression of vascular disease toward the end of their exceptionally long lives. A surprisingly substantial proportion of these individuals were still functionally independent or required minimal assistance." Supercentenarians (SCs) are people who belong to the exclusive club of those who live to 110 or older.
The Ageing Analytics Agency, in collaboration with the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) reports: "Lifestyle plays almost no factor in health and longevity after the age of 80." That means all those who make it to 80 then depend upon their genetic cards to carry them forth. So, making it to age 80 years is more about lifestyle factors and choices one has made in life. And they also fall back on their “super” immune systems.
So what were the key factors contributing to Longevity alongside genetics:
- Relationships and social inclusion: Kindness, love, and a strong sense of community are contributing factors. Longevity.Technology.com says that love really may be all you need when it comes to living longer. And of course, a “super” immune system.
- Socio-economic status: The study finds that higher standards of living and sanitation, availability of connectivity and communication as well as spending on public health all have a positive impact on Longevity. Another study found that the currently available data indicate that Japan is the country with the highest number of currently alive SCs. Interestingly, Puerto Rico would show the highest prevalence of SCs among people who reach extreme longevity (EL);
- Brain activity: A study titled "Neuropathology of supercentenarians - four autopsy case studies" found that neuropathological alterations associated with ageing were mild to moderate in the supercentenarian brain, suggesting that these individuals might have some neuroprotective factors against ageing. The Ageing Analytics Agency, in collaboration with the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) study found for the first time that neural activity is higher in individuals with shorter life spans and lower in those who live longer.
- Physical activity: Those who live longer are also able to retain mobility and bodily functions longer and more efficiently. Regular exercise has significant health benefits, and could even improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
- Healthy diet: The research team found that it is important to eat a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, healthy fats, calcium and vitamin D, while also taking a daily multivitamin. Filomena Taipe Mendoza, 116 years old resident of the Peruvian mountains reportedly told the BBC that she has been eating a natural diet of potatoes, goat meat, sheep's milk, goat cheese and beans, cooking only items she grows from her own garden, and has never eaten processed foods.
- Conscientious: Those who are self-disciplined and goal-orientated live longer, as well as potentially have lower blood pressure, and less risk of psychiatric conditions, diabetes, and heart and joint problems.
In their book, The Longevity Project, the authors Drs Howard Friedman and Leslie Martin have cited an eight-decade-long study of 1,528 participants that was begun by Dr Lewis Terman in California in 1921. They conclude: "It was not those who took life easy, played it safe, or avoided stress who lived the longest." They explain that instead, those who live longer had "an often-complex pattern of persistence, prudence, hard work, and close involvement with friends and communities."

BURBANK, Calif., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Disney Aspire, The Walt Disney Company's education investment and career development program that offers 100% tuition paid upfront for hourly employees, has welcomed two new additions to its growing network of educational providers: California State University, Fullerton and Fullerton College.
There are more than 29,500 hourly employees eligible to participate in Disney Aspire in the state of California, thousands of whom are already enrolled. As a result of these new additions, it's anticipated that employees will also be able to attend select courses in person as well as online.
"Returning to school as a working adult is no easy feat, and we've heard from our employees time and time again how important it is that, when they make that decision, they want it to be at a place they already know and love," said Chris Trout, vice president of learning and development at The Walt Disney Company. "I can't think of a better way to provide them that opportunity than through California State University, Fullerton and Fullerton College."
Combined, California State University, Fullerton and Fullerton College will bring almost 70 new degree and program offerings to Disney Aspire.
California State University, Fullerton is the largest campus within the California State University system and is a catalyst for social mobility as the number-one university in California in graduating women and students of color. "We're beyond proud to be a neighbor to Disneyland Resort, and even more excited to embark on this new adventure together," said Fram Virjee, president at California State University, Fullerton. "This is just the first step in working together to help build a better tomorrow for Orange County and our community."
Fullerton College is one of the oldest community colleges in the state of California, and one of the most successful in the nation. It is also the top feeder school of transfer students into California State University, Fullerton. "For more than a century, we've been preparing our students for success," said Dr. Monte Perez, interim president at Fullerton College. "We can't wait to open up the door to even more of our neighbors and help them to make the most of their futures through this new collaboration with Disney."
Since Disney Aspire launched, the program has contributed to The Walt Disney Company's strong pipeline of internal talent. More than 13,000 employees are currently enrolled, more than half of whom identify as students of color.
This announcement follows the introduction of Disney Aspire's first in-network HBCU, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, and first culinary-dedicated institution, Johnson & Wales University, earlier this year.

The Alabama Department of Human Resources (DHR) announced plans Monday to double the bonuses that child care workers can receive from Child Care Workforce Stabilization grants.
DHR will increase the bonuses to $3,000 for full-time employees and $1,500 for part-time staff for all five remaining quarterly grants. Applications for the next quarter will be accepted Aug. 22 through Sept. 16.
“Child care workers have doubled down on their commitment to children and families throughout the pandemic, so we’re thrilled to further compensate these extremely valuable employees who care for Alabama’s children every day,” said Alabama DHR Commissioner Nancy Buckner. “In addition to rewarding their hard work, our goal is to give child care providers an extra edge as they recruit new workers in today’s highly competitive job market.”
Since the initiative was announced in November 2021, DHR has awarded more than 4,000 grants to help child care providers recruit and retain staff as the industry recovers from the pandemic. An average of 10,337 workers have received bonuses each quarter.
Eligible employees can get up to eight quarterly bonuses before the two-year grant period ends in September 2023. Five opportunities remain.
To qualify, providers must be licensed, operating and in good standing with DHR when they apply. They also must remain in operation for at least one year after receiving a grant.
The grants are funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.
Applications, grant schedules and additional eligibility requirements are available at https://dhr.alabama.gov/child-care/. | http://jcsentinel.com/news/article_695326aa-079f-11ed-94b5-a7f53abdefd7.html | 2022-07-20T16:44:20Z | http://jcsentinel.com/news/article_695326aa-079f-11ed-94b5-a7f53abdefd7.html | true | 2 |
Matsheke & Lesako: Kaizer Chiefs loan out duo to Swallows FC
Kaizer Chiefs have announced the loan transfers of central midfielder Darrel Matsheke and winger Lebohang Lesako to Swallows FC.
The two have been struggling to cement first-team football places at Chiefs and were first loaned out to National First Division side Uthongathi.
But they will play Premier Soccer League football in the upcoming season with the Dube Birds.
“Amakhosi duo, Lebohang Lesako and Darrel Matsheke have been loaned out to Swallows FC for the upcoming DStv Premiership season,” Chiefs announced in a brief statement.
After the pair was handed their PSL debuts by former Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt during the 2020/21 season, they were expected to remain as contenders for regular football at Amakhosi.
Hunt handed Matsheke nine appearances while Lesako was fielded in three games.
But the coming in of Stuart Baxter saw them two going to play for Uthongtahi where Matsheke made 13 league appearances including starting four of them.
Lesako, on the other hand, enjoyed more game time by starting 22 league matches.
Having come through Chiefs’ development ranks where they were coached by Arthur Zwane but have struggled to convince the Chiefs tactician that they are ready for a spot in the first team squad.
Both players are aged 23 and it is to be seen if they will enjoy regular football at Swallows to be considered for first-team football at Chiefs in future.
Their loan move to Swallows brings to 14 the number of players who have left Amakhosi during the current transfer period, although the other 12 were released permanently.
With Chiefs signing five midfielders ahead of the upcoming season, it always appeared difficult for Matsheke and Lesako to remain at Naturena.
There have been been a number of player movements between Chiefs and Swallows in recent seasons.
Matsheke and Lesako arrive at the Dube Birds after Amakhosi signed Kamohelo Malatsi, Dillon Solomons and Lehlogonolo Matlou from Swallows.

TEMPE, Ariz., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tempe-based Pivot Solar-Breeze (PSB), maker of the solar-powered pool skimming robot Ariel, is pleased to announce that it will donate up to $10,000 to Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation (AFFCF) in support of swim lessons for Arizona children in foster care. For every Ariel unit purchased via arielpool.com in July and August, PSB will contribute $20 towards the fundraising goal.
AFFCF funds a variety of social, athletic and educational activities for children in foster care that are not otherwise funded by the state or other programs. In the last 12 months, AFFCF has invested over $114,000.00 in statewide swim lessons for children in foster care. AFFCF has eight preferred swim lesson partners which provide discounts on private and semi-private swim lessons to children in foster care from 16 Arizona locations.
"When you are a child in foster care, it seems like everybody around you knows it. When they get to put their little swimsuits on and hop in a pool with other kids at Hubbard Family Swim, they feel like a 'normal' kid for that amount of time during the week," said Kris Jacober, Executive Director of AFFCF. Through AFFCF, each child may only participate in one fully-funded activity at a time, but learning how to swim is the exception. If a child wants to participate in both basketball and swim lessons, AFFCF will fully cover both.
"Learning how to swim and behave safely around a pool is an important experience for all, and we are pleased to support those lessons for children who are living through difficult circumstances," said Paul Sim, Vice President of Pivot-Solar Breeze. "Every child deserves the opportunity to have fun in a swimming pool, and to learn how to do it safely." Drowning is the single leading cause of accidental death for children ages one to four years old and 3,500 will likely drown this year in the U.S. alone.
Ariel works around the clock skimming the surface of the pool, relieving pool owners and pool professionals of hand-skimming. The robot retails for $628.00 and customers may enjoy $100.00 off when using the code 'heyariel' at checkout. To learn more about Ariel by Solar-Breeze, visit www.solar-breeze.com. To learn more about Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation, and to submit an application to have swim lessons funded, visit https://www.affcf.org/.
Tempe-based Pivot-Solar Breeze is the maker of Ariel, an autonomous pool skimming robot. Ariel produces clean pools by combining the force of solar-power and intelligent technology to elegantly travel a pool's surface collecting debris. After placing the Ariel unit in the pool and turning her on, she effortlessly operates around the clock to remove dirt, leaves, pollen, dust, hair, oil and more before the debris decays and sinks to the bottom. Ariel owners enjoy a net-free world, less bacteria and algae growth, less filtration and sanitization needs, and less pool pump runtime. Pivot-Solar Breeze is dedicated to introducing pool people to a board line of advanced and eco-friendly pool maintenance solutions. Leveraging patented technology in the solar-powered robotic pool accessories space, its market presence spans 48 states and 20 countries.
The Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation (AFFCF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating positive childhood experiences for youth in foster care and preparing them for successful adulthoods through programming and scholarships. The AFFCF began in 1983 with a donation of less than $30, which allowed a young boy the opportunity to take flute lessons. Since that first act, the AFFCF has made more than 70,000 awards totaling more than $13 million to children in foster care in Arizona. Awards funded by AFFCF include athletic registration and equipment, lessons, summer camp, prom dresses, tutoring, apartment set ups and more. The AFFCF Keys to Success program provides career development services, education support and employment services for youth ages 16-24 who are transitioning out of foster care. The AFFCF post-secondary scholarship program funds scholarships for youth attending colleges, universities and vocational education programs. To support this important work for the more than 13,000 children currently in Arizona foster care, visit www.affcf.org.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal authorities are offering a $5,000 reward for information about the man who allegedly shot Lady Gaga's dog walker last year in Hollywood and stole two of the pop star's French bulldogs. He was mistakenly released from custody in April and remains missing.
James Howard Jackson, 19, was one of five people arrested in connection the violent robbery in February 2021. He was facing an attempted murder charge when he was released from Los Angeles County’s jail “due to a clerical error.”
Detectives do not believe that the thieves initially knew the dogs belonged to the pop star, who was in Rome filming a movie at the time. The motive was supposedly the value of the French bulldogs — which can run into the thousands of dollars.
U.S. Marshals, in a statement Monday, said Jackson should be considered armed and dangerous. The reward is for information that leads to his arrest.
Representatives for Lady Gaga did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/5K-reward-for-man-who-allegedly-shot-Lady-Gaga-s-17317228.php | 2022-07-20T16:54:49Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/5K-reward-for-man-who-allegedly-shot-Lady-Gaga-s-17317228.php | false | 14 |
- Published findings demonstrate that HyBryte™ treatment statistically significantly reduced CTCL lesion size
- HyBryte™ has potential to address a critical gap in treatment of early-stage CTCL
PRINCETON, N.J., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Soligenix, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) (Soligenix or the Company), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products to treat rare diseases where there is an unmet medical need, announced today that the results of its successful Phase 3 FLASH (Fluorescent Light Activated Synthetic Hypericin) study evaluating HyBryte™ (synthetic hypericin) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) has been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Dermatology.
"The peer reviewed publication of these data in JAMA Dermatology is a testament and further validation to the importance of the findings for the scientific and CTCL disease communities," stated Ellen Kim, MD, Professor of Dermatology and Medical Director, Dermatology Clinic, Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and the Lead Principal Investigator for the Phase 3 FLASH study. "With its chronic course and major impact on patient quality of life, CTCL is an orphan disease in urgent need of additional treatment options that are well-tolerated and safe over the long haul. The results from this Phase 3 study, which is the largest double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in CTCL to date, represents an important leap forward in the development of potential therapies to meet this unmet medical need."
The published findings demonstrate that HyBryte™ treatment statistically significantly reduced lesion size, with the treatment response further improving over successive 6-week treatment cycles. The primary endpoint evaluated the CAILS (Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity) score of three treated index lesions and success was defined as ≥50% reduction in CAILS score relative to baseline. Lesion response continuously improved with treatment duration. After the first 6-week treatment window, 16% of patients had a response (p=0.04 versus patients with 6 weeks of placebo treatment; primary endpoint). This response rate continued to significantly increase to 49% through 18 weeks of treatment (p<0.0001 versus patients with 6-week hypericin or placebo treatment). Throughout the study, HyBryte™ was safe and well-tolerated. Importantly, HyBryte™ was observed to perform similarly against both patch and thicker plaque lesions characteristic of CTCL.
"In treating CTCL, which is a chronic cancer with no cure, long-term safety is of paramount concern. Most current treatment options for CTCL are associated with significant safety concerns, including black-box warnings. HyBryte™ treatment has demonstrated strong and rapid efficacy with a very benign safety profile," stated Dr. Richard Straube, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Soligenix. "This is of significant benefit to patients living with this difficult disease. The substantial increase in efficacy with longer treatment and the similar performance against both patch and plaque lesions are particularly encouraging. As one of the largest studies in CTCL, this study and this publication establishes a new benchmark in CTCL treatment."
JAMA Dermatology is an international peer-reviewed journal published online weekly and in print/ online issue 12 times a year. It is one of the highest ranked journals in dermatology, with an acceptance rate of 9%. The journal, which has been in continuous publication since 1882, publishes studies in the areas of medical, surgical, pediatric, geriatric dermatology, oncologic and aesthetic dermatology. It prioritizes clinical and laboratory studies that reveal new information pertinent to the interests and needs of the medical dermatologist, dermatologic surgeon, and all those concerned with state-of-the-art care of cutaneous disease. The journal believes that knowledge derived from well-designed clinical trials and studies of cost-effectiveness are especially important for improving the practice of dermatology. JAMA Dermatology is a member of the JAMA Network family of journals, which includes JAMA, 11 JAMA Network specialty journals, and JAMA Network Open.
HyBryte™ (research name SGX301) is a novel, first-in-class, photodynamic therapy utilizing safe, visible light for activation. The active ingredient in HyBryte™ is synthetic hypericin, a potent photosensitizer that is topically applied to skin lesions that is taken up by the malignant T-cells, and then activated by visible light 16 to 24 hours later. The use of visible light in the red-yellow spectrum has the advantage of penetrating more deeply into the skin (much more so than ultraviolet light) and therefore potentially treating deeper skin disease and thicker plaques and lesions. This treatment approach avoids the risk of secondary malignancies (including melanoma) inherent with the frequently employed DNA-damaging drugs and other phototherapy that are dependent on ultraviolet exposure. Combined with photoactivation, hypericin has demonstrated significant anti-proliferative effects on activated normal human lymphoid cells and inhibited growth of malignant T-cells isolated from CTCL patients. In a published Phase 2 clinical study in CTCL, patients experienced a statistically significant (p=0.04) improvement with topical hypericin treatment whereas the placebo was ineffective. HyBryte™ has received orphan drug and fast track designations from the FDA, as well as orphan designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The Phase 3 FLASH trial enrolled a total of 169 patients (166 evaluable) with Stage IA, IB or IIA CTCL. The trial consisted of three treatment cycles. Treatments were administered twice weekly for the first 6 weeks and treatment response was determined at the end of the 8th week of each cycle. In the first double-blind treatment cycle, 116 patients received HyBryte™ treatment (0.25% synthetic hypericin) and 50 received placebo treatment of their index lesions. A total of 16% of the patients receiving HyBryte™ achieved at least a 50% reduction in their lesions (graded using a standard measurement of dermatologic lesions, the CAILS score) compared to only 4% of patients in the placebo group at 8 weeks (p=0.04) during the first treatment cycle (primary endpoint). HyBryte™ treatment in the first cycle was safe and well tolerated.
In the second open-label treatment cycle (Cycle 2), all patients received HyBryte™ treatment of their index lesions. Evaluation of 155 patients in this cycle (110 receiving 12 weeks of HyBryte™ treatment and 45 receiving 6 weeks of placebo treatment followed by 6 weeks of HyBryte™ treatment), demonstrated that the response rate among the 12-week treatment group was 40% (p<0.0001 vs the placebo treatment rate in Cycle 1). Comparison of the 12-week and 6-week treatment groups also revealed a statistically significant improvement (p<0.0001) between the two groups, indicating that continued treatment results in better outcomes. HyBryte™ continued to be safe and well tolerated. Additional analyses also indicated that HyBryte™ is equally effective in treating both plaque (response 42%, p<0.0001 relative to placebo treatment in Cycle 1) and patch (response 37%, p=0.0009 relative to placebo treatment in Cycle 1) lesions of CTCL, a particularly relevant finding given the historical difficulty in treating plaque lesions in particular.
The third (optional) treatment cycle (Cycle 3) was focused on safety and all patients could elect to receive HyBryte™ treatment of all their lesions. Of note, 66% of patients elected to continue with this optional compassionate use / safety cycle of the study. Of the subset of patients that received HyBryte™ throughout all 3 cycles of treatment, 49% of them demonstrated a positive treatment response (p<0.0001 vs patients receiving placebo in Cycle 1). Moreover, in a subset of patients evaluated in this cycle, it was demonstrated that HyBryte™ is not systemically available, consistent with the general safety of this topical product observed to date. At the end of Cycle 3, HyBryte™ continued to be well tolerated despite extended and increased use of the product to treat multiple lesions.
Overall safety of HyBryte™ is a critical attribute of this treatment and was monitored throughout the three treatment cycles (Cycles 1, 2 and 3) and the 6-month follow-up period. HyBryte's™ mechanism of action is not associated with DNA damage, making it a safer alternative than currently available therapies, all of which are associated with significant and sometimes fatal, side effects. Predominantly these include the risk of melanoma and other malignancies, as well as the risk of significant skin damage and premature skin aging. Currently available treatments are only approved in the context of previous treatment failure with other modalities and there is no approved front-line therapy available. Within this landscape, treatment of CTCL is strongly motivated by the safety risk of each product. HyBryte™ potentially represents the safest available efficacious treatment for CTCL. With no systemic absorption, a compound that is not mutagenic and a light source that is not carcinogenic, there is no evidence to date of any potential safety issues.
The Phase 3 CTCL clinical study was partially funded by the National Cancer Institute via a Phase II SBIR grant (#1R44CA210848-01A1) awarded to Soligenix, Inc.
CTCL is a class of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a type of cancer of the white blood cells that are an integral part of the immune system. Unlike most NHLs which generally involve B-cell lymphocytes (involved in producing antibodies), CTCL is caused by an expansion of malignant T-cell lymphocytes (involved in cell-mediated immunity) normally programmed to migrate to the skin. These malignant cells migrate to the skin where they form various lesions, typically beginning as patches and may progress to raised plaques and tumors. Mortality is related to the stage of CTCL, with median survival generally ranging from about 12 years in the early stages to only 2.5 years when the disease has advanced. There is currently no cure for CTCL. Typically, CTCL lesions are treated and regress but usually return either in the same part of the body or in new areas.
CTCL constitutes a rare group of NHLs, occurring in about 4% of the approximate 700,000 individuals living with the disease. It is estimated, based upon review of historic published studies and reports and an interpolation of data on the incidence of CTCL that it affects over 25,000 individuals in the U.S., with approximately 3,000 new cases seen annually.
Soligenix is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products to treat rare diseases where there is an unmet medical need. Our Specialized BioTherapeutics business segment is developing and moving toward potential commercialization of HyBryte™ (SGX301 or synthetic hypericin) as a novel photodynamic therapy utilizing safe visible light for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).

Conmed (CNMD) Reports Next Week: Wall Street Expects Earnings Growth
Conmed (CNMD) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2022. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 27, 2022, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This medical technology company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.76 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +7%.
Revenues are expected to be $274.22 million, up 7.5% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Conmed?
For Conmed, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -6.17%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Conmed will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Conmed would post earnings of $0.62 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.70, delivering a surprise of +12.90%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Conmed doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

BOSTON, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Greene LLP announces that the international pharmaceutical company, Biogen, Inc, has agreed to pay $900 million to resolve claims brought by Michael Bawduniak, a client of Greene LLP, that Biogen unlawfully paid kickbacks to physicians and other healthcare professionals. The settlement will be paid to the United States and the Medicaid programs of various states in resolution of the False Claims Act action in which the United States did not intervene.
"We believe this settlement represents the largest recovery in the over 150 years of False Claims Act cases to be secured by a whistleblower without the intervention or participation of the United States," said attorney Thomas M. Greene, who served as Mr. Bawduniak's lead counsel throughout more than a decade of litigation.
In 2012, Mr. Bawduniak disclosed to the United States that he believed Biogen, for whom he was then employed, was improperly paying kickbacks to its largest prescribers to discourage them from prescribing Biogen's competitors' products. Mr. Bawduniak had reported his concerns to Biogen's compliance department, which had not taken any action. Based on Mr. Bawduniak's information, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation asked Mr. Bawduniak to record conversations with Biogen employees that would substantiate his allegations. These recordings confirmed that Biogen deliberately provided substantial monetary and non-monetary compensation to some of its most important prescribers to influence their prescribing and to ensure that they remained loyal Biogen customers.
Thereafter, in April 2012, Greene LLP, on behalf of Mr. Bawduniak, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts under the federal False Claims Act and the false claims acts of several states. Mr. Bawduniak alleged that Biogen, to prevent its multiple sclerosis drugs from losing market share to newer drugs, knowingly paid its largest prescribers for services Biogen did not need and never intended to use, and which payments served no legitimate business purpose.
For example, Biogen paid hundreds of its customers to provide consulting advice on topics it either could not use, or for which Biogen had all the information it required. Additionally, Biogen also paid hundreds of health care professionals to speak when there was no demand for presentations on Biogen's products and Biogen knew that its prospective speakers would likely never meet their minimum speaking requirements. Mr. Bawduniak also discovered that Biogen knowingly compensated its speakers and consultants a rate significantly exceeding the fair market value for their services. For example, Biogen inflated the amounts paid to most of its speakers and consultants by automatically adding three hours for travel time to their compensation, even when Biogen knew the customers whom it paid did not have to travel or only traveled a minimal distance. And many of Biogen's events were held at sumptuous resorts and restaurants, where Biogen treated its speakers and consultants to lavish meals and free alcohol.
"The excessive consultant meetings always stood out to us as evidence of an improper purpose for these payments to physicians," said Greene. "Over the years, as we learned more and more and gained feedback from nationally renowned experts, we were confident that a jury would agree: the only reasonable explanation for this kind of activity by Biogen was its belief that the prescribers it paid would be more likely to prescribe their drugs."
The Biogen lawsuit was not Greene's first foray into lengthy False Claims Act litigation. In 1996, he brought an action on behalf of a whistleblower alleging that off-label promotion of the drug Neurontin defrauded the United States. That case was resolved in 2004 when Pfizer, Inc. agreed to pay $430 million in civil fines and criminal penalties. Although the United States also elected not to intervene in the Neurontin case, that case became the model that ultimately led to the United States recovering more than $15 billion for unlawful off-label promotion by other drug companies.
The federal False Claims Act and several state statutes allow persons to file qui tam claims on behalf of federal or state governments when they have knowledge of schemes to defraud them. The statutes authorize those governments to intervene in such suits, but also permit the qui tam whistleblowers to pursue their claims if the governments elect not to intervene, which is what happened with Mr. Bawduniak's action.
"Since July 2015, when the United States informed the District Court that it would not intervene in this action, our firm has litigated the case alone, reviewing millions of documents, conducting dozens of depositions, and preparing the case for trial," said Greene. "The settlement with Biogen is a great example of what the False Claims Act is designed to encourage – and taxpayers clearly benefit." As a result of the announced settlement, Mr. Bawduniak will receive an award of between 25% and 30% of the federal portion of the recovery, as well as awards from the states who will share in the settlement.
Michael Bawduniak was represented in the False Claims Act suit by Greene, Michael Tabb, Ryan P. Morrison, Tucker D. Greene, Simon Fischer, Eugenie Reich, and Kiel Green, all members of the Greene LLP firm. Greene LLP is a complex civil litigation firm in Boston specializing in representing qui tam whistleblowers with a low-volume, high-attention approach to litigation.

Matt Smith describes his ‘House of the Dragon’ role as a literal ‘f*cking pain in the neck’
Matt Smith rose to prominence as the 11th incarnation of the titular character in Doctor Who, but his days of manning the Tardis and traveling time and space in search of lighthearted adventures have paved the path for the opportunity to spearhead the gruesome world of House of the Dragon as one of its lead characters, Daemon Targaryen.
But becoming a dragonrider — and one who is as revered and legendary as the Rogue Prince — is no easy task, and it may have actually brought the British actor close to his breaking point. In a new profile on The Hollywood Reporter, Smith details the experience of working on the series as a literal “f*cking pain in the neck.”
“On the page, Daemon could really be one thing. I was always interested in trying to subvert it a little into something else. I think there’s a sort of strange, sensitive nature to Daemon and quite a genuine loyalty to him and humanistic qualities that you can peel away and see. It’s a fucking pain in the neck — literally, physically and metaphorically.”
In fairness, Smith isn’t simply speaking ironically here. The actor actually suffered a disc injury while doing a stunt for the show in Portugal, itself a testament to his unwavering dedication to bringing Daemon to life in all of his subtle and nuanced glory.
Matt Smith is part of an ambitious ensemble tasked with revitalizing Westeros on the small screens again. House of the Dragon involves the period of unrest and civil war in the Targaryen dynasty that ultimately caused the diminishing of their power and influence, what the Seven Kingdoms historians now refer to as the Dance of the Dragons.

If You Have This Common Tree in Your Yard in Indiana, Kill it Immediately
There's an invasive tree commonly found in Indiana that should be killed if you happen to have one in your yard.
As you know, plants are extremely important to the environment. While most of these plants are good, some can cause some problems, and threaten the ecosystem. Sometimes, the name of these plants could even be deceiving. For example, there is a tree that is invasive in North America, known as the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima). While the tree sounds like it is heavenly, it is far from it.
Tree of Heaven Background
The tree of Heaven is an invasive tree native to China. It was introduced in the United States in the late 1700s as a highly valued ornamental shade tree with the ability to grow on a wide range of site conditions, tolerating poor soils and air quality, according to Penn State Extension. By the early 1900s, the tree started to lose its popularity because of its "weedy" nature, roots, and bad smell. Since then, the tree has become widespread throughout the United States, including here in Indiana.
Why is the Tree of Heaven Invasive?
According to Indiana Woodlands:
Tree-of-Heaven is a serious threat to the long-term productivity of forests in the central hardwood region. There are areas in southern Indiana along the Ohio River where Tree-of-Heaven has completely taken over acres and acres of native forest and formed a monoculture of Tree-of-Heaven.
On top of that, it has a very unpleasant smell. Plus another invasive species in Indiana, the spotted lanternfly, favors this tree and is attracted to hang around them.
Health Concerns for Humans
Not only does the Tree of Heaven have a negative impact on the ecosystem, it also can cause harm to humans too. Penn State Extension lists a few ways in which this tree can affect our health:
Tree-of-heaven can affect human health. The tree is a very high pollen producer and a moderate source of allergy in some people. In addition, a few cases of skin irritation or dermatitis have been reported from contact with plant parts (leaves, branches, seeds, and bark) and products. Symptoms often vary and depend on several factors, including the sensitivity of the individual, the extent of contact, and the condition of the plant or plant product. There are rare reports of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) from exposure to sap through broken skin, blisters, or cuts.
How to Kill the Tree of Heaven
The Tree of Heaven is difficult to control, but it can be done. Cutting and mowing these trees don't do the trick because of their sprouts and root suckers. Penn State Extension suggests that you should treat it with a herbicide first, and wait for the tree to begin to deteriorate, which takes around 30 days, then cut it.
You can also hand pull young seedlings when the soil is moist and the whole root system is removed. That way root fragments don't sprout new seedlings. Penn State Extension says:
To control tree-of-heaven , target the roots with systemic herbicides applied in mid- to late summer (July to onset of fall color) when the tree is moving carbohydrates to the roots. Herbicide applications made outside this late growing season window will only injure aboveground growth. Following treatment, repeated site monitoring for signs of regrowth is critical to prevent reinfestation.

A retired pig farmer who murdered his wife and dumped her body in a septic tank 40 years ago has been ordered to serve life with a minimum term of 18 years.
David Venables, 89, will have to reach the age of 107 before he can even apply for parole after he killed Brenda Venables in 1982.
He showed no emotion in the dock today, or when he was found guilty by a 10-2 majority verdict last week.
But he was heard shouting ‘no’ repeatedly after he was taken towards the cells following sentencing.
The pensioner had rekindled a long-standing affair shortly before killing his wife at their farmhouse while she was recuperating with an injured leg and suffering from depression.
High Court Judge Mrs Justice Tipples told him: ‘I am sure you killed Brenda Venables to remove her from your life and the complications she may have presented to you in any divorce proceedings.
‘There is no doubt an element of greed and selfishness.’
Mrs Venables’s skull and other bones were discovered during work to empty the underground chamber on July 12, 2019, six years after Venables had sold the property for more than £460,000.
Her husband had tried to blame Fred West, saying the serial killer had links to the Worcestershire village of Kempsey where she vanished in May 1982.
His legal team also insisted she may have ‘either killed herself or met with or encountered someone who wished her harm’.
The heartbroken family of Mrs Venables said they would never forgive Venables, who was ‘the very person who should have loved and protected her’.
‘Brenda’s disappearance was devastating for her parents who were in their 80s’, a joint victim impact statement added.
‘Brenda was their main carer, shopping and looking after them, so the impact on them was both emotional and practical.
‘They just couldn’t understand how Brenda could simply disappear. Her father Harold longed for her return and never gave up hope. He died heartbroken two-and-a-half years later.’
Passing sentence at Worcester Crown Court on Wednesday, Mrs Justice Tipples told the killer he was responsible for many aspects of his wife’s mental illness.
‘You were Brenda’s husband and she should have been able to trust you’, she said.
‘Your complete lack of respect for Brenda is obvious from your decision to dispose of her body in the septic tank.
‘The fact that is what you did with her body is disgusting and repulsive.’

Vicente Sanchez Ventura: Creating a Legacy
By Diana Rodriguez Mendiolea
Originally from Puebla, Vicente Sanchez Ventura, consul general of Mexico in Havana, sets the example that through perseverance and transcendence legacies can be made.
After completing diplomatic service in Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Dallas, New Orleans, Austin, Detroit and Fresno, Sanchez Ventura assumes his new responsibility in the capital of Cuba.
In his new role in Havana, Sanchez Ventura shares that there are 1,100 Mexicans, of whom 800 are students. However, 130 thousand Mexicans visit Cuba annually, as this country is a reference and cultural attraction for its visitors.
“Havana has everything for everyone,” Sanchez Ventura shared in an interview with La Prensa San Diego. “From classical music to tropical music and very good rock,” he said about the experiences in the Cuban capital.
“Cuba has good musicians, painters, artists and athletes. The island has many tourist attractions and the beaches attract a large number of visitors,” he added.
After the most recent hurricane, the Mexican Embassy in Havana assumed the responsibility of repatriating 200 Mexicans, as well as facilitating communication with their families.
“The task that all consuls have is to serve,” Sanchez Ventura said. “We are public servants, even when we are in diplomatic positions.”
At the Mexican Embassy in Havana they serve about 150 people daily, who apply for a Mexican visa. In 2016, 22,384 visas were issued, a historic record for the Embassy.
“Cubans were not used to traveling and since 2012 when the possibility opened, they began to meet certain basic requirements,” Sanchez Ventura said. “Requirements such as ability to demonstrate economic solvency, own a property and have stable employment for more than a year, among with a 36 dollars fee, allow the visit to Mexico.”
During his tenure as Consul General of Mexico in Fresno, California, Sanchez Ventura had the opportunity to approach the border region of San Diego and Tijuana.
“Tijuana is an excellent example of all cultural concepts,” Sanchez Ventura said, referring to his approach with the border, not only in the artistic-cultural aspect, but also in the area of education.
Students from the Autonomous University of Baja California Tijuana Campus are currently doing internships at the Embassy of Mexico in Havana.
Sanchez Ventura’s conviction in supporting education has allowed him to leave an important legacy in different generations of Mexicans throughout the world.
“In Michigan there are about 2,000 Mexican engineers in the automotive industry, who do high-tech work and a unique effort,” Sanchez Ventura shared. “Thanks to them, I had the idea to support the project of organizing them and thus we integrated the third global network, where there is now 45 chapters around the world.”
The Association of Mexican Professionals in Michigan (APROMEX), is a nonprofit organization that integrates Mexican professionals in events of various kinds. Currently, they are the largest chapter, composed of 400 Mexican engineers.
“It was a pride to unite them,” Sanchez Ventura said.
“They are talented engineers, with masters and PhD degrees who speak 4 or 5 languages, work tirelessly and travel a lot,” he said recognizing virtues of Mexicans that few people perceive in the United States.
The work of a Consul is full of great challenges. Their tough decisions must be accompanied by sensitivity to the community they serve. That adaptation and ability to reinvent himself has allowed Sanchez Ventura to leave a legacy for more than three decades.
“I feel very proud to have made an integral task of helping Mexicans in these 34 years,” he said. “The issue that has given me the most satisfaction was having encouraged Mexicans to have access to the Banking System in the United States, and opening accounts for undocumented people.”
In 2001 in Austin Texas, a pilot plan began that seemed impossible for the time, however, it was thanks to the synergy and teamwork among the Chambers of Commerce, Police and Consulate that the bancarization of Mexicans was possible, opening more than 6,000 accounts only in Austin County.
Six months later, bancarization was opened throughout the State of California and later became a national reality.
“That has been my biggest contribution,” Sanchez Ventura said with pride in his face. “This allowed people to open their accounts and have confidence in a bank and not leave their money under the mattress.”
Sanchez Ventura’s legacy includes collaboration agreements with Mexican universities in the United States, offering basic English courses for undocumented immigrants, changing the lives of members of important productive sectors.
Likewise, he created a collaborative project between public primary schools in Mexico and the U.S., which allows a mutual approach of cultures, the learning of both languages and enlarges binational understanding in the long term.
Strengthening the relationship between nations requires personal involvement.
“In California I wanted to get to know the farmers and the owners of the agricultural fields to know their needs,” recalls Sanchez Ventura. “On Migrants Day, I invited all my group from the office and we went to harvest melons with the farmers, this allowed us a better approach and empathy.”
Under the philosophy of always going further, Sanchez Ventura emphasizes the importance of approaching consular offices, in the 50 existing in the United States, for legal advice and obtaining information during all circumstances.
To tourists, Sanchez Ventura recommends registering online in the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to facilitate the detection and location of Mexicans abroad, and pay attention to the information of the traveler’s guide available on the page.
“In the end, you find your way of living, here, there or beyond, and you have to live happily,” Sanchez Ventura shared at the end of the interview, highlighting the daily and important task of learning, of new cultures, of the environment and the circumstances that life presents. | https://laprensa.org/vicente-sanchez-ventura-creating-a-legacy | 2022-07-20T17:13:22Z | https://laprensa.org/vicente-sanchez-ventura-creating-a-legacy | false | 1 |
EAST GLACIER, MONTANA (WSYR) — A New York father and his 18-month-old daughter were shot and killed while on vacation in Montana, police confirmed Tuesday, saying the suspect had a prior relationship with a family member.
David Siau, 39, of Pompey, New York, and his daughter McKenzie Siau died from their injuries, while Siau’s 40-year-old wife, Christy, was in critical condition after the attack on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana.
Christy Siau was holding her daughter when the toddler was shot.
The attack happened just before 9 p.m. Sunday as the Siau family walked along a roadway in the small town of East Glacier Park.
Deputies said the suspect, 37-year-old Derick Amos Madden, of Goldsby, Oklahoma, drove his vehicle into the family, hit a tree and came out of the vehicle shooting a gun. Police didn’t immediately say how many of the family members were hit by the vehicle or how seriously injured they were by the collision.
Christina Siau, the victim’s 30-year-old sister, was stabbed by the suspect, according to investigators, who said she and the suspect had a prior relationship.
Initially, the police agency incorrectly said the prior relationship was between Christy Siau and the suspect.
Despite being seriously injured, Christina Siau defended herself and killed the shooter. Police did not say what or if a weapon was used.
Deputies say Madden “was suffering from mental health issues.”
The couple’s two other children were with them at the time of the shooting but were not hurt, according to police. They are staying with their grandparents.
The Glacier County Sheriff’s Office described it as an “isolated…incident with a clear nexus between the victims and Madden” and said the investigation was continuing. It was not clear what provoked Sunday’s attack beyond the prior relationship between Madden and Christina Siau.
Local authorities did not know of any previous interactions that Madden had with law enforcement. He had been working recently in East Glacier, a tourist town and gateway to the mountains in Glacier National Park, according to Jody Hickey, a spokesperson for Glacier County Sheriff Vernon “Napi” Billedeaux.
Christina Siau was originally from New York and had been living in East Glacier, where her family was visiting, Hickey said.
The family is active with Pompey Community Church, according to people who know them. David Siau worked for Benchmark Media, according to the couple’s wedding announcement.
In a statement to WSYR, the family’s former church called this a “time of unimaginable grief,” writing: “They were beloved & served joyfully in many ways in our church community. … When they purchased their home in Pompey and made the transition to Pompey Community Church, we celebrated with them as they found a wonderful place to live and to worship with their family.”
A photo of the family was posted on the Facebook page of Mission Hope Community, with the caption: “We are deeply grieving the gun violence assault on Christy Brownell Siau and her family while they were camping on the Blackfeet Indian reservation. Christy was the bookkeeper for ABC-NYS for several years. Her husband David is dead, along with their 18-month old daughter, and Christy is hospitalized. G-d be with them, and G-d forgive us for allowing our idolatrous gun worship to continue.”
In a message shared on Facebook by the group “American Baptist Churches,” the local director wrote: “Please remember both the Siau and Brownell families in prayer as they grieve this incredible and sudden loss.”
