Palmeiras players held on Wednesday morning, at the Football Academy, in São Paulo, the last training session to prepare for the match against América-MG, this Thursday, at 8 pm (GMT), at the Independência stadium, in Belo Horizonte. In the afternoon, the alviverde delegation departed for the capital of Minas Gerais with news. Argentine strikers José Flaco López and Uruguayan Miguel Merentiel, already registered in the CBF’s Daily News Bulletin (BID), were listed by Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira.
“First stop with the alviverde squad: Belo Horizonte. Let’s go for more, greengos!”, wrote Palmeiras in a post on their official Twitter account, with a photo of the two players already inside the plane heading to the capital of Minas Gerais.
With Rony and Rafael Navarro out due to injury, one of the two could have a chance as a starter in Minas Gerais. Who has more chances to play is Flaco López, who would replace Gabriel Veron, author of the goal of Verdão’s victory over Cuiabá by 1-0, last Monday, at the Allianz Parque stadium, in São Paulo.

With 33 points, Palmeiras starts the round with two more than Atlético-MG, which also plays this Thursday – from 7 pm against Cuiabá, at Arena Pantanal, in Cuiabá. With only two rounds for the Brasileirão to reach its half, Verdão will guarantee the symbolic title of “champion of the first round” if they beat América-MG and Galo don’t win in Mato Grosso.

Draghi's grip on power finally unravels
Italy looked set to lose its highly-respected prime minister Mario Draghi on Thursday (21 July), after his attempt to relaunch his grand coalition government ended with right-wing parties joining the populist Five Star Movement (M5S) in deserting him.
The former president of the European Central Bank (ECB) has been on the way out since last week, when he lost the support of the M5S and offered to resign. He was stopped by president Sergio Mattarella, who told him to try to mend the pieces of his coalition.

The attempt failed spectacularly, leaving Italy, the EU's third-largest economy, bereft of strong leadership at a critical juncture, and heading for snap elections in October, about six months earlier than scheduled.
Draghi was expected to tender his resignation to Mattarella later on Thursday.
On Wednesday, he said in a speech to the Senate that his coalition — including the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), centrists, the far-right League and the conservative Forza Italia — needed a total reboot.
"The only way, if we still want to stay together, is to rebuild [the coalition] pact from scratch, with courage, altruism, credibility. It is the Italian people who are above all asking for it," the premier said.
He was referring to multiple appeals for him to stay, coming from mayors, business leaders, trade unions and even health workers who worked on the Covid pandemic. "This support is undeserved, but for which I am enormously grateful," he said.
Draghi said his government, born out of a political stalemate in February 2021, was a "civil miracle" which was initially successful but gradually lost its way as coalition members started bickering over reforms.
Last week, the M5S triggered Draghi's first attempt to leave as it boycotted a vote of confidence over a €26bn aid package for firms and households struggling with inflation and high energy bills.
The M5S argued the package wasn't generous enough, and was up in arms over clauses allowing the construction of a waste incinerator in Rome, which the party opposes out of environmental concerns.
On Wednesday, as another vote of confidence was held on the government, Matteo Salvini's League and Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia also boycotted it after saying they could only support Draghi if he formed an entirely new government that excluded the M5S.
The premier didn't consider the option, and called an in-or-out vote on his existing administration.
"We need a new pact of trust, sincere and concrete, like the one that has allowed us so far to change the country for the better. Political parties and parliamentarians — are you ready to rebuild this pact?" Draghi asked.
The answer was a definite no. Technically, the government survived the vote with 95 in favour and 38 against, but was left politically dead by the fact that just 133 senators, out of a 321-member chamber, took part in it.
Italy's latest political crisis comes as the country remains on the hook from Brussels to comply with reform targets tied to the around € 200bn euros in loans and grants from the EU post-Covid recovery plan.
Draghi is likely to stay as caretaker until a new government is formed after the elections. It is unclear whether in that role he and his cabinet will still be able to deliver on the reforms required to win the next instalment of EU money.
Italy also faces a worsening economic outlook as a result of the war in Ukraine, with an energy crunch, rising inflation, slowing growth and renewed market concerns about its high level of public debt, standing at more than 150 percent of GDP.
Draghi, known as 'Super Mario' from the time he helped save the euro as ECB president, worked hard as premier to reduce Italy's energy dependence on Russia, and was firmly pro-EU, pro-Nato and pro-Ukraine.
PD leader Enrico Letta, the staunchest Draghi ally, said his ouster was the result of "a day of folly" in parliament, while EU economy commissioner Paolo Gentiloni, a former premier from the PD, said it "could provoke a perfect storm" against Italy.
Meanwhile Giorgia Meloni, whose opposition far-right Brothers of Italy party leads in polls and could win elections in partnership with Salvini and Berlusconi, was celebrating. "If all goes well we could vote in two months, we are ready," she said.
Meloni, 45, is a former fascist sympathiser allied with European nationalist conservative parties such as the opposition Vox in Spain and Poland's ruling Law and Justice. She could become Italy's first female prime minister.

Karnataka has retained its top spot in the ‘Major States’ category, followed by Telangana and Haryana. Manipur has emerged as the best performer among the north-eastern and hilly states, followed by Uttarakhand and Meghalaya. Among the Union Territories and city-states, Chandigarh is the top performer, followed by Delhi.
This is the third edition of the report which presents an evaluation of the innovation readiness of states and UTs and highlights potential challenges that deter the government, businesses and individuals from fully realising their potential.
The India Innovation Index is prepared by the NITI Aayog and the Institute for Competitiveness. The number of indicators has increased from 36 (in the India Innovation Index 2020) to 66 (in the India Innovation Index 2021).
“Innovation is critical in promoting the country’s resilience and self-reliance. The index points to the decentralization of innovation across all Indian states,” said NITI Aayog Senior Adviser Neeraj Sinha.
“The index also draws some international parallels, which will add to India’s learnings and how we can be on a par with our counterparts,” said Institute for Competitiveness Chairman Dr Amit Kapoor.
The index was released on Thursday by NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Suman Bery in the presence of Member Dr VK Saraswat, CEO Parameswaran Iyer and Senior Adviser Neeraj Sinha, and Institute for Competitiveness Chairman Dr Amit Kapoor.
‘Innovation is the key to sustainable and inclusive growth. It can help us solve the biggest challenges of our times: bringing millions out of poverty, generating livelihood opportunities, and paving the way for an Aatmanirbhar Bharat,’ said Dr Saraswat.
‘I would like to reaffirm NITI Aayog’s continued commitment to monitoring the state of innovation in India through the India Innovation Index. We strive to improve the innovation ecosystem across the nation in partnership with the states and other stakeholders,’ said Iyer.

Singapore Woman Gets Cockroach Pulled From Ear In A&E After It Crawls Inside
For those with entomophobia, AKA the fear of insects, simply laying eyes on a bug can be terrifying enough.
It escalates into an infinitely more hellish experience when it actually comes near and touches us, but one TikToker recently experienced this nightmare on a whole new and terrifying level.
While sleeping in bed, she awoke suddenly when she felt a cockroach crawling near her ear. She tried to get rid of it by whacking it, but the insect retreated into her ear instead.
Her attempts to pull it out by herself failed, and the OP had to make a trip to the hospital to have the creepy-crawly removed.
Netizens were understandably appalled by her story, with some remarking that they no longer dare to go to sleep.
Cockroach crawls into sleeping woman’s ear, waking her up
On Wednesday (20 Jul), a TikToker in Singapore uploaded a video saying that she was going to the accident and emergency department (A&E) to remove a cockroach that had crawled into her ear.
She explained that the bug had been crawling on the bed right next to her head, waking her up.
She tried to make it go away by hitting it, but this backfired spectacularly when the roach apparently decided to seek refuge inside her ear.
Since her attempts to flush it out by “power washing” her ear didn’t work, the OP needed to visit the hospital so doctors could perform a more delicate procedure.
Thankfully, her video doesn’t actually show the insect’s severed body getting extracted, but the thought of it alone is enough to gross anyone out.
The video ends with the OP showing off a red ear and stating that “all’s good”.
OP says removal of cockroach from ear “hurt”
Speaking to MS News, the OP, who requested to remain anonymous, shared more about her horrifying ordeal in disgusting detail.
She recounted waking up to the roach wandering around beside her head. When she panicked and “whacked” it, the insect “crawled deep” into her ear.
“I could feel it wiggling inside and it was so disgusting,” she recalled, adding that it died when she used a liquid to wash it out.
It gets worse. Way worse.
The OP then tried plucking the bug out with tweezers, but it was “too deep in”.
In the end, all she managed to do was break up the roach’s body, causing its “guts and brown shell” to come out “in parts”.
While A&E staff successfully removed the roach from her ear, OP said that it “hurt”.
“Half of the severed body and feelers were intact, so they pulled out a large piece,” she said.
A quick Google search shows that roaches invading ears is actually alarmingly more common than we thought.
There are numerous reports about people finding cockroaches – sometimes many of them at once – stuck inside their ears.
Netizens grossed out by story
The OP’s video has since garnered over 300,000 views and more than 400 comments, most of which consist of other TikTokers expressing their horror.
One user exclaimed that she has now something new to be frightened of.
Another quipped that they’ll be sleeping with a plastic bag over their head from now on.
And then there were those who said that they’re now afraid of falling asleep altogether.
In a follow-up video, the OP explained that she had used mouthwash to kill the roach, which was about 3.5 to 4cm long.
She added that doctors at the A&E had to pull it out from her ear “leg by leg”, followed by the upper half of its body. They then gave OP antibacterial ear drops.
Hope this never happens to us
When we fall asleep at night, the last thing we want is for anything to crawl inside our bodies while we’re dreaming away.
Perhaps this can be a reminder for some of us to give our rooms a much-needed thorough cleaning, just in case.
We’re glad the OP managed to resolve the issue quickly and hope that such incidents will never happen to her, or anyone else, ever again.

Drake, 35, hops aboard boat with bikini-clad YouTube star Suede Brooks, 20, as they join pals for lunch at Club 55 in St. Tropez
Drake has been partying it up this week in Saint-Tropez.
And on Wednesday, the 35-year-old rapper was captured hopping aboard a boat with 20-year-old YouTube star, Suede Brooks.
The duo headed to celeb-loved Club 55, where they enjoyed an al fresco lunch with their respective pals.
Vacation mode: Drake has been partying it up this week in Saint-Tropez, which he's been documenting on his Instagram. And on Wednesday, the 35-year-old rapper was captured hopping aboard a boat with 20-year-old YouTube star, Suede Brooks
Suede - who boasts 1.5million followers on Instagram and over 335,000 subscribers on YouTube - wandered around the luxury boat in an oversized button-up shirt.
Beneath it, the influencer rocked what appeared to be a periwinkle toned bikini top and matching high-legged bottoms.
Suede was noticeably makeup-free and her wavy brunette hair was worn down.
She was seen walking beside Drake as the pair headed to a more private section of the boat to chat.

They sat directly across one another on some white lounge chairs with a clear view of the blue sky and ocean.

Drake completed his casual-cool look with some white lace-up sneakers and matching socks.
His hair was braided and he wore a blue bandana tied around his head.
Lunchtime: Taking to his Instagram Story, Drake documented some of the festivities taking place at the seaside destination

Once they arrived at Club 55, the pair appeared to go their separate ways.
Taking to his Instagram Story, Drake documented some of the festivities taking place at the seaside destination.
He captured a short video of fellow St. Tropez vacationers partying it up and hitting the dance floor in the afternoon.
Drake also included a brief clip of their lunch dishes being prepared at their table.
Moody: Earlier in the day, the God's Plan hitmaker shared two self-portraits from inside a nightclub with the caption, 'I've got bigger branzino to fry…'

Though the nature of Suede and Drake's relationship in unknown, a source told ET that the pair are 'having fun together' and have been 'yacht hopping.'
The pair were reportedly seen looking 'sweet' while 'whispering in each other’s ears and laughing' during one of their recent hangouts in St. Tropez.
Suede and Drake are said to have many friends in common and that their pals are 'rooting for them to hang out more.'
'Having fun': Though the nature of Suede and Drake's relationship in unknown, a source told ET that the pair are 'having fun together' and have been 'yacht hopping'
Suede is a well known figure in the social media space who rose to fame in her early teenage years after starting her very own YouTube channel.
In her videos, Suede would open up about her day-to-day life as well as show off her personal style, skincare routine and her go-to makeup looks.
The young girl's eye for style and down-to-earth personality quickly garnered her a massive following, with many of her videos pulling in over 100,000 views.
Despite so much success, Suede has not posted directly onto her Instagram feed or uploaded a YouTube video in over a year.

However, Suede has done her best to keep fans updated on her life through her Instagram Story posts and her TikTok page.
On Wednesday, she uploaded a snap of her and a female pal showing off their matching Chanel slide sandals.
But other than showcasing her footwear, Suede hasn't given any clue as to her connection to Drake or why they were in each other's company on Wednesday.
Though he appears to be in full relaxation mode in St. Tropez, Drake recently confirmed that he had a run-in with police during his latest trip to Sweden.
Stepping back? Despite so much success, Suede has not posted directly onto her Instagram feed or uploaded a YouTube video in over a year
On Sunday, the singer and rapper took to his Instagram page and posted a series of photos and video documenting his trip to Ibiza that included plenty of partying at a nightclub.
While most of the images showed him dancing and chatting with friends and fellow revelers, there was one photo of a document Swedish authorities gave him that confirms all the mass speculation over the last few days that he had landed in trouble.
At the very top left of the document it reads: 'Polisen', which translates to 'the police' in English, with the title being, 'Information for Those Suspected of a Crime and Subsequently Detained'.
It's also attributed to Public Prosecutor's Office and the National Police Board.

It goes on to explain Drake's rights under Swedish law, which are similar to Miranda rights given people suspected of a crime in the U.S., according to TMZ.
Those right are broken down into bullet points on the print-out, beginning with how suspects have the right to 'know what it is you are suspected of and why you are being detained'.
The document also notes that Drake 'receive the aid of a defense attorney who under certain conditions can be paid for by the state' and that he can 'receive the assistance of an interpreter during interrogation if necessary'.
There's also a mention that 'if you are not a Swedish citizen, you have the right to demand that your own country's consulate or equivalent institutions be notified of your detainment and that messages from you be forwarded there'.
But, it doesn't appear things got that serious in this matter.

The next portion of the document goes on to talk about the next steps that will happen in regards to the proceedings.
The rumor was that Drake was arrested on marijuana related charges while partying at a Swedish club this past week.
There was mentions of that he had already been released, which appears to be likely since he posted the police print-out on his Instagram page.
Drake team subsequently informed The Hollywood Reporter that he was not arrested and was he was in his hotel.
At this point, it's still unclear why insiders with the Canadian-born star denied there was any truth to him being arrested or detained.
So far there's no official word on whether he will have to make a court appearance in person.

Emphasize culture in your Agile implementation approach
Team structure and culture should be a primary focus during any shift to Agile principles and methodologies.
Organizations recognize the need to adapt and innovate quickly to compete. Agile methodologies can help because they accelerate time to market, make development teams more efficient and reduce costs.
To build a successful Agile implementation approach, organizations should encourage group decision-making; self-managed, cross-functional teams; and a culture that values open communication and feedback.
The benefits of Agile methodologies
Agile enables an organization to be dynamic, flexible and resilient. As a result, the company can adapt to unanticipated challenges, events and opportunities.
Some Agile advantages are the following:
- Faster time to market. Traditional development practices demand a significant amount of time to build, test and deploy software. By the time software is released, it may not meet business requirements or generate the expected revenue. Agile considerably reduces time to market, facilitating software releases when they're most relevant.
- Early ROI. With shorter development cycles and faster product deployments, Agile yields quicker ROI compared to conventional approaches. Consistent updates help generate revenue and keep end users satisfied.
- Customer satisfaction. Agile treats users as equal partners in the development process, and a product owner facilitates user-developer collaboration. These methodologies prioritize users' requests and ensure they are pleased with the outcome.
- Better product quality and productivity. This process improves software quality, since teams can detect and fix issues early and quickly. Developers receive early feedback on the software, which minimizes the chance of building a low-quality product. In addition, teams complete projects in shorter time frames -- known as sprints -- so those projects are easier to manage.
- Improved work culture and morale. Agile fosters a culture of fun, learning and open communication, all of which help team members and organizations grow. Teams engage in continuous learning, which helps them advance their careers and boosts morale.
An effective Agile implementation approach fosters an atmosphere of shared responsibility that makes the workplace more enjoyable.
Organize an Agile team
Agile teams are often organized around product features and components. The team, as a whole, focuses on how to deliver continuous value to the user, and team members have the ability to work independently without a structural hierarchy.
Also, Agile teams can self-organize to meet project goals and complete work within predetermined timelines. The specific structure isn't a concrete concept within Agile development. A group should consider elements such as project complexity, deadlines and staffing to determine how best to organize a team.
Build a sustainable Agile culture
Another integral part of an Agile implementation approach is to build a sustainable and valuable internal culture. Organizations can perform the following tasks to foster this culture:
- Gather regular feedback to assess progress and value.
- Foster an environment of recognition, trust, transparency, collaboration and continued learning.
- Invest in tools and technologies that support Agile initiatives -- such as team collaboration tools, including Jira, Pivotal Tracker and Asana -- and train staff how to use them.
- Build an innovative, but stable, organization with strong leadership to reinforce Agile ideals.
- Identify and eliminate any causes of waste and delay.
Before any Agile implementation, ensure that your organization is ready to make a foundational shift toward a new culture and mindset. | https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/tip/Emphasize-culture-in-your-Agile-implementation-approach | 2022-07-21T07:39:26Z | https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/tip/Emphasize-culture-in-your-Agile-implementation-approach | true | 1 |

St George Illawarra captain Ben Hunt has revealed the future of coach Anthony Griffin will play a key role in his decision to re-commit to the Dragons as his management prepare to kickstart negotiations next week.
Hunt is contracted for next year, but is looking for a two-year extension to see him through to 2025 when he will be 35.
Not only does Hunt want to make sure the Dragons are in a ‘premiership window’ before he puts pen to paper, he also wants his good friend Griffin to remain at the helm. The bond is between playmaker and coach is strong, with both hailing from Rockhampton.
Griffin’s future has become a hot talking point again on the back of a couple of heavy losses, and like Hunt, ‘Hook’ is off contract at the end of 2023.
While Hunt knows his next deal will fall short of the current $1.2 million a season, there is also plenty of interest elsewhere, especially after his Origin heroics.
The Dolphins could with a player like Hunt, but will not win a title before the playmaker retires. A chance to return home to the Broncos as a hooker in a spine with Adam Reynolds, Ezra Mam and Reece Walsh could also appeal.
As he prepares to take on Manly and Queensland friend Daly Cherry-Evans on Friday evening at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium, Hunt told the Herald there were a couple of things weighing on his mind ahead of brokering what will likely be his last NRL deal.
“It’s no secret I enjoy being coached by Hook,” Hunt said. “I know we’ve had some setbacks the past two games, but we’ve got the right foundation in place - and we have the right coach.
“I’m loving my time at the club and enjoying myself. I know I’m also getting to the back end of my career and want to win [a premiership].
“My manager will meet with the club next week so we’ll see what happens. I still think I’ve got at least three years of footy in me. I’m contracted for next year, and I’d like another two after that. I’ve been lucky with injuries. I don’t see why I can’t go until at least the end of 2025.”
Hunt said Griffin appreciated “hard work, doing the little things right and being competitive every week”, which was not always easy for some of the younger players to embrace every week.
“We’ve got a mix of old and young guys, and it can be hard for the younger guys to buy into fundamentals consistently,” Hunt said.
“I was young once and wanted to score 1000 tries and set them all up. But it doesn’t work like that in the NRL.”
Zac Lomax has pinched Hunt’s title as the Dragons’ supporters most polarising player, especially after another flick pass turned the tide in last weekend’s defeat against the Sydney Roosters.
Hunt said Lomax’s hunger to win often led to him “wanting to go for the big play and win all the time”.
“But with age he will learn to play the long game and be a bit more patient with the ball,” Hunt said. “He’s got the size, the strength, the competitiveness and all the talent in the world.
As for Lomax replacing him as the club’s biggest punching bag, Hunt laughed and said: “I don’t wish that upon him. I’ll happily take that back off him.”
Cherry-Evans said Hunt was one of the best competitors in rugby league and “to be one of the top halfbacks in the game, then flip to hooker and become the standout hooker of the Origin series, that not only takes ability but a hell of a lot of competitiveness, which he has”.

CHANGZHOU, China, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A TrendForce EnergyTrend report for Q2 2022 says 56 cell manufacturers, accounting for about 80% of all cell makers, can now produce 210mm cells, representing a year-on-year growth of 51%. Moreover, 23 module makers have now adopted 600W+ technology.
As the cost of polysilicon keeps growing, the need to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve IRR on projects has become more pressing than ever. Large and ultra-high power PV products are advancing rapidly because of high power, efficiency, reliability and immense cost benefits. They now account for 80% of capacity and shipments of wafers, cells, and modules, and have thus become the mainstream of the market.
Trend: 23 businesses adopt 600W+ as high-power modules become focus of tenders
TrendForce tender figures show that the ratio of large 182 & 210mm (including 210R) modules being bought and in use has increased significantly. An analysis of the announced 89.4GW of PV module tenders indicates that about 72.2GW (77%) of them have no specific size requirements and merely want power of 530W and above. 17.2GW of tenders have specific module size requirements, of which large (182 & 210mm) variations account for 13.97GW, or 81.2%.
Large high-power modules are becoming mainstream, particularly in ground power stations. Large distributed PV products are also expected to grow rapidly in the thriving market.
Capacity of 210mm wafers rose 172%, with the share of large-sized wafers exceeding 80%
Newly established capacity during the first half of 2022 was mostly compatible with large 182 & 210mm wafers. The TrendForce EnergyTrend survey points to large wafers (182 & 210mm) reaching 422.6GW of capacity this year, a ratio of 83.1%, of which 210mm wafers accounting for 164GW (32.25%), a year-on-year increase of 172% (60.1GW in 2021). Large wafers (182 & 210mm) will have market share of 89.97% by 2023, 210mm accounting for 274.6GW, or 46.35%.
Progress made in wafer thinning has exceeded initial expectations, yielding a sizable reduction in wafer consumption. Businesses faced with stubbornly high prices of raw materials are constantly reducing their use of wafers by rapidly switching from 165μm to 160/155μm, and will continue the move toward 150μm. Wafer consumption is thus expected to drop from 2.7-2.8g/W in 2021 to about 2.6g/W.
80% of businesses can produce 210mm cells under accelerated iteration between old and new capacity
The deployment of large 182 & 210mm (including 210R) cells is steadily falling in line with business' capacity upgrades and iterations, as well as their shift in demand. According to the TrendForce study, the combined capacity of 182 & 210mm (including 210R) is now about 82.5%, while large cells (182 & 210mm) are likely to reach capacity of 593.25GW in 2023, and total capacity of 210mm cells will possibly reach 380.4GW and market share of 57.59%.
Large modules accounted for nearly 80% of shipments in Q1 2022
Major module makers generated combined shipments of 34.31GW in Q1 2022, large modules (182 & 210mm) accounting for about 27.26GW, or 79%. Falling demand for M6 and smaller modules is reflected in a pick-up in the shipment of large modules. Major modules makers are expected to ship a total of 203-230GW throughout 2022, and shipments of 210mm modules (including 210R) will rise rapidly.
210 + N-Type technology has been on the way
As PERC is reaching the cut-off point of efficiency improvement and the cost of materials, transportation and land increases, a further improvement in conversion efficiency, reduction in system costs and acceleration in iteration and upgrades for N-type technology are becoming essential for PV businesses seeking competitive advantage. Thus, 210mm products emerged, and adding up any advanced technology could be possible thanks to the openness and extensive compatibility.
Last month, Trina Solar announced capacity expansion in Xining Plant, focusing on the new N-type and 210 technology, which will enable the company to create increased value for customers as a major supplier of main materials. Module power output will be expected to reach 700W and above with the combination of N-type and 210 technology.
The collocation of large-sized products and advanced technology has opened up additional space for efficiency improvement and cost reduction. 210mm + N-type continue to optimize LCOE. It may also further increase the ratio of PV in renewable energy, and serve the cause of carbon peaking and neutrality goals.

Hyderabad: The residents of Osman Nagar for the past 2 years are suffering due to nondrainage of flood waters. Many families have deemed it proper to shift to safer areas. But there are many families who have nowhere to go and are still waiting for government measures to end their woes.
As a result of the current incessant rains, the flooding water surrounded the area and it has become impossible for them to move out of their homes.
The Ex Rajya Sabha and Congress senior leader V Hanumanth Rao on Wednesday toured the Usman Nagar flood areas and met the people. He interacted with the residents and heard their proposals. The resident’s refrain is that the authorities have not taken measures to drain out the flood waters from their areas.
Hanumanth Rao met the Commissioner of Jalpally municipality and appraised him of the problems faced by the Osman Nagar residents. He demanded that the draining of flood waters and construction of road work should be completed within 2 months.
Rao expressed regret that the education minister Sabita Indira Reddy had left her voters without help.
Others who accompanied Hanumanth Rao were the president of district Congress committee Ranga Reddy C H Narasimha Reddy, Congress leader R Lakshman Yadav, Amrendra Reddy Usman Al Hajri, and others. | https://www.siasat.com/osman-nagar-flood-water-surrounds-homes-for-past-two-years-2374164/ | 2022-07-21T08:16:43Z | https://www.siasat.com/osman-nagar-flood-water-surrounds-homes-for-past-two-years-2374164/ | true | 1 |

After a 34% decline year-to-date (YTD), at the current price of around $18 per share, we believe Tripadvisor’s stock (NASDAQ: TRIP), an online travel company providing booking for hotel reservations, transportation, lodging, and travel experiences – is fairly priced. TRIP stock has declined from around $28 to $18 YTD, underperforming the broader indices, with the S&P falling about 20% over the same period. The company’s stock traded lower as anxiety over a potential recession, staffing issues with airlines, and higher interest rates have swept over the entire travel sector. The broader concern over the global economy’s health and renewed Covid restrictions in some regions of China gave rise to worries that travel demand could decline over the coming quarters after rebounding this summer. Nonetheless, Tripadvisor entered the summer period with solid momentum, effectively putting the company in a position to take advantage of rising consumer demand in the second quarter as consumers prioritize leisure travel, which had been neglected for the past two years. Also, the U.S. unemployment rate remained near historic lows at 3.6% (as of May) and the employment cost index (measuring the growth of labor compensation) rose 1.4% through the first quarter, a record growth since 2001. Both of these factors point to an improvement in Tripadvisor’s upcoming results going forward. But how the current macroeconomic condition truly impact the company’s business will only be clear in TRIP’s second quarter report scheduled in early August.
Tripadvisor saw a mixed Q1 2022, with revenues beating, but earnings missing estimates marginally. The company managed to double its revenues year-over-year (y-o-y) to $262 million, driven by a recovery in the tourism sector in Q1. Of its two business segments, experiences and dining saw a large improvement, with its revenues rising by almost 230% y-o-y to $92 million. Hotels, media, and platform revenues grew 82% y-o-y. Although the company didn’t quite climb into profitability, it managed to narrow its bottom-line loss per share from -$0.59 to -$0.24.
We have revised Tripadvisor’s valuation to $19 per share, based on a $0.92 expected EPS and a 21.0x P/E multiple for the fiscal year 2022 – almost 5% higher than the current market price. We forecast Tripadvisor’s Revenues to be $1.4 billion for the fiscal year 2022, up 56% y-o-y. In light of rising interest rates and the threat of recession, the market at the moment is uncertain, but any further decline in the company’s stock could be used as an opportunity to buy the stock.

The winner of the World Gymnastics Championships Liverpool 2022 ‘Worldpool’ artwork competition has been announced as the countdown to the sporting event begins.
Student and gymnastics coach Megan Allan will have her artwork displayed at host venue M&S Bank Arena during the global event, which takes place from October 29.
The 22-year-old’s competition entry was selected as winner by a panel including world and Olympic gymnastics champion Max Whitlock OBE.
Most Popular
Championships ambassador Whitlock and other judges including the head of audiences at Tate Liverpool and the designer from Front Page selected the entry from eight other shortlisted artwork designs.
Whitlock said: “It was a really difficult job to choose between the final three, but Megan’s is a great concept using the iconic Liverpool landscape and using shadows to make the Worldpool stand out.”
As part of Megan’s prize, she will work with Liverpudlian artist Paul Curtis to create her entry. Known for his street art and wall murals, Paul is one of the World Gymnastics Championships Liverpool 2022 ambassadors and helped to select Megan as the winner.
With only 100 days until the start of the annual global competition, preparations are underway at the Liverpool arena.
Megan wins Worldpool
As a gymnastics coach from Aberdeen, Megan got involved in the competition to inspire young gymnasts to get creative and ended up re-discovering her passion of design.
She said: “I teach gymnastics and this competition was just something I wanted to do alongside the children to show the importance of creativity in the sport.
“My goal was to create a piece that was as eye-catching and dynamic as watching a gymnastics routine – when the sport is in action you can’t look away. What makes gymnastics great is the opportunity to get creative, which is something I have always tried to champion as part of my relationship with the sport, and now into this artwork.”
The Worldpool art competition launched last year, inviting fans and creatives to submit artwork based around the Championships’ logo.
Speaking about the inspiration behind her entry, Megan said: “The background was inspired by the coloured smoke often used in photography, as I feel this helps convey the idea that Liverpool’s creativity is explosive and at the city’s core.
“There is also a little nod to Paul Curtis and his brilliant work in the piece with the gymnast having angel wings!”
“I am so excited to be attending the competition and seeing the hard work that the world’s best gymnasts put in, come to life. I will be taking my friends that I do gymnastics with – it’s going to be really special for us and for me especially to see my artwork on display at such a major competition.”
Art and apparatus
As part of Megan’s prize for winning the Worldpool competition, she will work with Liverpudlian artist Paul Curtis and have the chance to watch Women’s and Men’s apparatus finals.
Curtis said: “I was so impressed with Megan’s use of colour - her work is bold with the black and white infused with a riot of colours. It can be risky to use so many different colours in a design, but the risk has definitely paid off and this eye-catching design will look fantastic on display at the Championships.”
Gymnasts assemble
The 51st World Gymnastics Championships will take place in Liverpool from October 29 to November 6 and will see 550 gymnasts compete from 75 countries.
This is the fourth time the sporting event has been held in the UK, having previously been hosted by Glasgow, London and Birmingham.
The World Gymnastics Championships Liverpool 2022 will be an Olympic qualifying event for the Paris 2024 games and will be one of the largest international sporting events ever to be held in the city. | https://www.liverpoolworld.uk/news/world-gymnastics-championships-artwork-winner-announced-liverpool-2022-competition-3776151 | 2022-07-21T08:24:55Z | https://www.liverpoolworld.uk/news/world-gymnastics-championships-artwork-winner-announced-liverpool-2022-competition-3776151 | true | 1 |

Typical British summertime returns as UK wakes up to cloudy skies, rain and a cooler 25C in a week of two halves - after baking in hottest weather on record
- It will be cloudy today while Friday will be somewhat of a washout with rain across central and northern areas
- There will also be scattered heavy showers in the south of the country on Friday, according to the Met Office
- Meanwhile, Saturday will see some of the best conditions on average with temperatures in the mid to high 20s
Britain can expect clouds and rain for the rest of the working week as the typical British summer returns, before temperatures climb back nearer to 30C at the weekend, forecasters predict.
Following a scorching Tuesday with record temperatures of more than 40C, the mercury will be noticeably lower today and Friday, with highs of no more than 25C in London and the south and around 21C in the midlands and North.
The Met Office says it will be 'cloudy for many' today with most of the sunny spells happening away from central areas.
The middle of the country will also see patches of rain, particularly in the North.
Friday will be somewhat of a washout with rain across central areas which will then move north. There will also be scattered heavy showers in the south of the country.
While it will be cloudy and rainy tomorrow, there will be spells of sunshine across the south of England, far west and east Scotland.
Met Office forecaster Alex Deakin said: 'All that extreme heat is being steadily pushed away by weather fronts and something cooler arriving in the short term, then eyes look down to the south with the potential for some heavy thundery showers to affect parts of the south on Friday but they will be very much hit and miss.
Friday will be somewhat of a washout with rain across central areas which will then move north. There will also be scattered heavy showers in the south of the country. (Pictured: Rain in Dorset yesterday)
The Met Office says it will be 'cloudy for many' today with most of the sunny spells happening away from central areas
'After that, well, we are mostly looking out to the Atlantic as low pressure starts to move in and isobars fairly close together and weather fronts drifting across the country.
'That will bring clouds, some outbreaks of rain and generally a fresher feel as we head into the early part of next week.'
Saturday will see the best of the weekend weather on average with temperatures climbing back up to around 25C in Manchester and Birmingham and to around 27C and 28C in London and the south.
There will still be some rainfall, however it is expected to be limited to the northwest.
Sunday will be the hottest day of the weekend for those in London and the south, with highs of around 28C.
However the week will end cooler elsewhere, with highs of 24C in Manchester and Birmingham, with some occasional showers.
The Met Office said showers will hit the south on Friday but that they will be 'very much hit and miss' (Pictured: Rain in Dorset yesterday)
The Met Office said the likes of East Anglia and Cambridge will see the highest temperatures, potentially reaching the low 30s at the weekend (Pictured: A sunny London on Wednesday)
Mr Deakin said the likes of East Anglia and Cambridge will see the highest temperatures, potentially reaching the low 30s.
'Some very warm air never too far away from the far south and as I say there is the potential for some thunderstorms on Friday and then the warm air is tucked in here across parts of England and Wales for Saturday and Sunday,' he said.
'So temperatures could tick up back to the high 20Cs, possibly even the low 30Cs across the South East and East Anglia on Sunday but it is going to be quite a contrast with much cooler conditions further north and west with weather fronts bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11034543/Typical-British-summertime-returns-UK-wakes-cloudy-skies-rain-cooler-25C.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-21T08:30:56Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11034543/Typical-British-summertime-returns-UK-wakes-cloudy-skies-rain-cooler-25C.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false | 3 |

The Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III has suggested to Vice President Sara Duterte to make English and Filipino as medium of instruction at the kindergarten level in schools.
Presently the mother tongue is required to be used as a medium of instruction from Kindergarten to Grade 3 level under the K to12 law, but Densing said the mother tongue should only be used as an exception and English and Filipino should be used as media of instruction.
RELATED STORY: 4 out of 10 Filipinos unsatisfied with K-12 education program – Pulse Asia
“Being practical about it, if this [mother tongue for kindergarten to Grade 3] has been effective, then why have we failed in the PISA evaluation?” he said in an interview over ABS CBN News Channel.
“Most probably, we reverse, but this requires legislation, we reverse the general rule right now, [which] is we use the mother tongue for K to 3,” he added.
He acknowledged that the adjustment would need legislation and refered to the 2018 ranking of the Philippines in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), where Filipino students fared worst among 79 countries in reading comprehension and second-lowest in both mathematical and scientific literacy.
Densing said he had discussed his suggestion a few times with the vice president, who also serves as DepEd secretary adding, “In major areas in the country, especially in the highly urbanized cities, we can start already with Filipino and English as medium of instruction, and use the mother tongue only as the exception, in case the people in the area are really not introduced to English and Filipino.” | https://filipinotimes.net/latest-news/2022/07/21/english-filipino-sought-as-medium-of-instruction-at-kindergarten-level-in-ph/ | 2022-07-21T08:35:02Z | https://filipinotimes.net/latest-news/2022/07/21/english-filipino-sought-as-medium-of-instruction-at-kindergarten-level-in-ph/ | true | 1 |
There have been countless jokes, comedy routines and humorous articles written about colonoscopies, but I’m a firm believer that, like Mexican food restaurants, there can never be too many. Besides, we now live in a world where each individual colon has the right to assert its own unique identity that can’t be categorized based on society’s stereotyped definitions of a large intestine.
So, here goes.
Ever since I turned 50 and my stylist started charging extra to brush my ear hair, several of my friends and loved ones have encouraged me to schedule a colonoscopy. At first, I was reluctant, maybe because the procedure conjured images of alien abductions involving bodily probing devices the size of Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles. Or perhaps I was just afraid of what the gastroenterologist might discover based on my long history of devouring pretty much anything that the FDA has deemed semi-edible.
My worries were so profound that for the first couple of years of my 50s, I resorted to the cumbersome, awkward and potentially disastrous take-home colon cancer screening kits. But as my friend’s gastroenterologist once warned him, “There’s really no graceful way to catch a stool.”
And, sure enough, when I attempted to use the kits, my juggling performance usually resulted in a call for back-up from an emergency hazmat team.
But this year, motivated by the fear that I might not live long enough to become a financial and psychological burden on my three daughters, I decided to take the plunge (or the prod) and schedule a full-blown colonoscopy with all the trimmings.
As most of you know, a proper colonoscopy begins with the preparatory process of fasting and ingesting a regimen of military-grade laxatives designed to transform you into a human fire hose nozzle set to Armageddon strength. For me, though, the prep wasn’t as traumatic as I anticipated. Rather than having to set up a campsite next to the toilet, I was actually able to do some yard work – with the slight inconvenience of occasionally performing a penguin sprint to the bathroom.
By the end of the day, though, I understood what one of my friends meant when he advised that, instead of toilet paper, I should have a snow cone handy.
After a full day of fasting and counting enchiladas to get to sleep the night before, I was anxious to get the procedure over with in the morning so I could resume my steady diet of Tex-Mex and Andy’s Frozen Custard. I’m happy to say that the entire medical staff at the clinic was extremely cordial and accommodating, even though I couldn’t help thinking that they were all trying not to laugh – along with my wife.
I have to admit that I was a little nervous since this was the first time I’d ever been put to sleep (when not listening to a sermon in church), but the nurse anesthetist told me that it would be like taking a really good nap – while basically on the same drugs that killed Michael Jackson.
When I woke up, I expected to feel like I had been on the receiving end of a Build a Bear Workshop stuffing station. Instead, I felt surprisingly refreshed, well-rested and oddly ventilated.
I’m pleased to report that the doctor found my colon extremely boring and said that he wasn’t interested in seeing it again for ten years. I did request the bowel portrait family value package with two 8x10s, three 5x7s and eight wallets. He didn’t laugh.
Following the procedure, my wife drove me to the closest Mexican restaurant, and I experienced a great sense of satisfaction and relief that I had overcome my anxieties and done what was best for my health – while consuming an obscene amount of chips and salsa.
So, if you’ve been putting off your own colonoscopy, let me encourage you to get it done. You’ll have a great sleep, you can gorge guilt-free on your favorite food when it’s over, and it just might help you live long enough to become a financial and psychological burden on those you love the most. | https://maysville-online.com/719/200773/portrait-of-a-colonoscopy | 2022-07-21T08:35:08Z | https://maysville-online.com/719/200773/portrait-of-a-colonoscopy | false | 11 |

OUT AND ABOUT… When shelter-in-place first began, Squid thought Squid might keep it going forever – no hard pants, no need to comb Squid’s hair. But like everyone else, Squid got tired of it, and was especially eager to return to live entertainment. So Squid oozed out of the lair, cautiously at first, then unmasked, to see music, comedy and theater.
But these days, not even John Johnny Nash Jr. and Squid’s longtime favorite, the Monterey Peninsula Gospel Community Choir, can convince Squid to come out of the lair, at least not under Golden State Theatre’s new rules. The venue no longer requires proof of vaccination or negative Covid-19 test results – a fact it proudly advertises at the top of its website. Same policy goes for Sunset Center in Carmel – no rules, just a free-for-all of shared air particles.
Those rules (or lack thereof) are still in place despite the fact that California’s Covid hospitalizations have quadrupled, and Monterey County is again in the CDC’s “high” level for virus transmission.
It feels like in many ways like we are back to the chaotic early days of the pandemic, including different rules for different places. Or make that: different rules for the same place. Squid went classical, attending the Carmel Bach Festival, and all events – including those at the Sunset Center – require concertgoers to show proof of vaccination and to wear masks indoors.
NO CIGAR… Squid got tired of losing, so Squid quit going to pub trivia – second place just doesn’t do it. So the old saying goes, “close” only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
In a July 17 press release, the Committee to Defend Democracy – Recall Leffel tried to make “close” sound better than, well, failing. The group wants to recall MaryAnn Leffel from her seat on the Monterey Peninsula Airport District board. To get a recall on the Nov. 8 ballot, they had a 90-day window (deadline July 16) to collect 2,434 signatures from district voters. They ended up with “more than half,” which is, in other words, not enough.
Nancy Runyon, chair and spokesperson for the effort said, “There was a lot of enthusiasm and energy behind this effort. We just ran out of time.”
Squid remembers a similar refrain from the monkfish after it failed to petition its way onto the 1998 Oceans of the World Beauty Pageant. And just like in that drama, there was a bit of blame. Recall proponent Larry Parrish was quoted as saying the group lost three weeks of precious signature-gathering time due to “Election Office delays and technical errors.”
The group remains confident, however, and offered this spin: “We don’t consider this a loss – it just gives us more time to expose Leffel’s terrible record.”
Spoiler alert: When the monkfish entered the 1999 pageant, the monkfish did not win. | https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/opinion/squidfry/squidfry-07-21-22-out-and-about/article_e116d54c-0867-11ed-b278-5fafb4f08c81.html | 2022-07-21T08:41:12Z | https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/opinion/squidfry/squidfry-07-21-22-out-and-about/article_e116d54c-0867-11ed-b278-5fafb4f08c81.html | false | 1 |

India and Namibia on Wednesday signed a crucial memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the reintroduction of cheetahs, declared extinct in the country in 1952. A senior environment ministry official said the first batch comprising four male and as many female cheetahs will arrive from Namibia in August.
"Talks are on with South Africa too. An MoU will be signed with them as soon as we get approval," the official said. The fastest land animal in the world will find a new home in the Kuno-Palpur National Park in Madhya Pradesh's Sheopur district.
The cheetahs are likely to be brought to India before August 15, another official said. The cheetah is the only large carnivore that got completely wiped out from India, mainly due to over-hunting and habitat loss. The last spotted feline died in 1948 in the Sal forests of Chhattisgarh's Koriya district.
Namibia has the world's largest population of cheetahs. According to the pact, the two countries will share and exchange expertise and capacities to promote cheetah conservation in their ranges.
They will collaborate in areas of climate change, environmental governance, environmental impact assessments, pollution and waste management etc and undertake an exchange of personnel for training and education in wildlife management, including sharing of technical expertise, wherever relevant.
At the first wildlife board meeting of Independent India in 1952, the government had "called for assigning special priority for the protection of the cheetahs in central India" and a "bold experimentation to preserve the cheetah" was suggested.
Subsequently, negotiations commenced with the Shah of Iran in the 1970s for bringing the Asiatic cheetah to India in exchange for Asiatic lions. Keeping in view the small Asiatic cheetah population of Iran and the genetic similarity between the Iranian and the African cheetah, it was decided that the latter would be introduced in India.
Ten sites were surveyed between 2010 and 2012. Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh was considered ready for receiving cheetahs with the least management interventions since a lot of investments had been done in this protected area for reintroducing Asiatic lions, which are also an endangered species.
Spread over 748 square kilometres, KNP has an adequate prey base. It is devoid of human settlements, forms a part of the Sheopur-Shivpuri deciduous open forest landscape and is estimated to have a capacity to sustain 21 cheetahs.
Once restored, the larger landscape can hold about 36 cheetahs. The carrying capacity can be further enhanced by including the remaining part of the Kuno Wildlife Division (1,280 sq km) through prey restoration.
The action plan for cheetah translocations in KNP has been developed in compliance with International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) guidelines and considering site assessment and prey density, current cheetah carrying capacity of the national park, among other criteria, the Union environment ministry said.
Financial and administrative support to the cheetah reintroduction programme in India would be provided by the ministry through the National Tiger Conservation Authority.

Choosing a reliable broker to invest with isn’t always easy. OctaFX outlines eight tips on how to protect yourself in the markets and find a trusted broker to start your financial journey.
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach - 21 July 2022 - Financial market trading is getting bigger every day. With so many brokers offering their services, finding the right one can be difficult. What should you look for in a broker to get the best out of trading in the financial markets and feel safe? There's no one easy answer, but there are many tips that will help you on the way.Types of brokers
It is important to choose the type of broker you will trade with according to your goals and investment approach.
Cryptocurrency brokers and exchanges are a way to go if you find it easy to navigate highly volatile markets and want to invest in cryptocurrencies. However, bear in mind that the crypto market has experienced devastating crashes leaving many investors with heaps of coins worth nothing. The most recent example is the 2022 crypto crash. Nevertheless, there emerged tens of thousands of crypto millionaires in the last ten years due to the explosive growth of some cryptocurrencies.
Investing with a stock broker usually implies allocating considerable funds and playing long-term. Stock prices often rise or decline simply because of companies' policies, over which investors have no control, making price movements of a given stock largely unpredictable. Still, stock investing could bring about considerable profits, especially after thorough research and analysis.
Forex brokers mostly offer CFD trading on many instruments of different classes, including currencies, commodities, stock indices, and crypto assets. You can base your trading strategies on a variety of timeframes, from extreme short-term (M1, M5) to long-term (D1 and wider).
Let's stop on Forex brokers as the ones offering the most versatile trading experience.
Trading in a global, decentralised market
Foreign exchange trading is happening twenty-four hours a day, five days a week, on various exchanges around the world. Decentralisation is vital for the Forex market due to the globalised world economy's need for fast, easy flow of currencies.
International Forex brokers—as opposed to local ones—operate in a multitude of countries. They are allowed to operate globally through multiple international documents. Not being extensively regulated locally and not having to implement restrictions that often limit trading opportunities for traders, international Forex brokers can therefore offer more favourable conditions to their clients.
Many traders, especially beginners, choose to work with local brokers because of the licences they usually possess issued by local financial authorities. However, taking into account the global nature of the Forex market and heavy restrictions such brokers experience, trading with them may lack in the variety of trading instruments, promotional and bonus programs, and simply be less profitable because of the higher commissions.
Choosing a trusted Forex broker
When it comes to choosing a reliable international Forex broker to invest with, there are several handy tips that will help you.
- Check when the broker was established. Any broker with at least ten years of work in the financial markets is worth a try.
- Find information about the broker on the internet. Conduct your own research.
- Check the reviews (you can find them on trustpilot.com).
- Find out whether the broker has received any industry awards for its services in Asia, and Malaysia in particular.
- Check if the broker publishes its own educational content. A reliable broker is always interested in its clients being better prepared for trading in the financial markets.
- Find out whether the broker provides multilingual support.
- Find information on whether the broker is otherwise present in Malaysia. For instance, OctaFX regularly invests in charitable initiatives across the country to give back to the society it works in and be closer to its clients.
- The last—and the most important. Compare trading conditions of the brokers that showed themselves well in all other respects and choose the one with the lowest spreads, no additional commissions, and no swaps.
Using the tips above, you can find a trusted broker that would suit you and help you achieve your financial goals. Besides, you will protect yourself against fraudsters posing as Forex brokers as they will never be able to fake a reputation garnered over many years of work in the financial markets.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia man has been charged with a felony in a drunken driving accident that killed an unborn child.
Timothy Wickline, 29, was charged with driving under the influence causing death in Monday’s two-vehicle collision on Interstate 77 near Sissonville, the Kanawha County sheriff’s office said in a news release.
Witnesses said Wickline’s northbound vehicle crossed the median and entered the southbound lanes. A pregnant female driver in the other vehicle that was hit was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where a doctor confirmed the death of her fetus.
Wickline, who is from Greenbrier County, was being held Wednesday at the South Central Regional Jail on a $100,000 cash-only bond, the statement said. Jail records didn’t indicate whether Wickline has an attorney who could comment on the charge. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/WVa-man-charged-in-drunken-driving-wreck-that-17318913.php | 2022-07-21T08:54:07Z | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/WVa-man-charged-in-drunken-driving-wreck-that-17318913.php | false | null |
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is ‘delighted’ to have William Saliba back with the club and insists the club has a plan in terms of the defender’s contract situation.
The 21-year-old looks set to finally be given the chance in the Gunners first team this season after three loan spells away from the club at Saint-Etienne, Nice and Marseille.
The France international came off the bench in a friendly against Orlando City on Wednesday after starting a pre-season match against Everton last week as he continues his progress towards an Arsenal debut.
Having signed from Saint-Etienne in 2019, Saliba’s Arsenal contract only has a couple of years left, expiring in 2024 and Arteta says that the club has a plan in mind for his future.
That plan sounds like extending his deal, with the Spaniard impressed with how the youngster has matured over the last three years.
‘We always have a plan and when we have to execute it, that’s a different story and football is a really funny game,’ said Arteta.
‘We are really happy to have him and you can see the way he’s adapted, the way he’s matured and he’s playing well and we are delighted to have him.’
Saliba replaced Rob Holding 59 minutes into the game in Florida which the Gunners won 3-1.
Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring after just five minutes, with second-half goals from Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson.
Arsenal are back in action in Orlando again when they take on Chelsea as pre-season preparation continues.
Saliba will be hoping to impress again as the start of the Premier League season approaches, with the Gunners playing Crystal Palace on 5 August.

American singer Lizzo has said she “spent years being ashamed” as she spoke about the work it took for her to “feel worthy of being in this place”.
The 34-year-old Grammy winner released her highly anticipated fourth studio album Special on July 15 and, appearing as the cover star for the September edition of Elle UK, said she wanted to make a record that coming out of lockdown people could use as a “soundtrack to survive”.
She told the magazine: “I spent years being ashamed. It took a lot of work for me to feel worthy of being in this place. To feel worthy of being a force to be reckoned with.”
The tracks on the new album include songs called Special and 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready), alongside previously released hit singles About Damn Time and Grrrls.
The singer previously announced she was releasing a new version of Grrrls with a “lyric change” after receiving backlash over the use of an ableist slur within the original track.
She said of recording the album during the 2020 lockdown: “It was hard for me to find meaning, being an entertainer, while people were dying at a high rate.
“I had to remember, when we come out of lockdown, people are going to be coming out of a depression. And the end of lockdown does not signify the end of their mental-health struggles.
“So I wanted to make music that people can use as a soundtrack to survive. That was the driver for this album.
“All of these incredible songs are giving people the language to express themselves and to have a release after everything they’ve experienced.”
The magazine cover shows the singer in tightly-wrapped yellow tape with fashion house Balenciaga’s name printed across it in black lettering.
Lizzo, who is known for promoting body positivity and self-love in her music, also spoke about her relationship with social media, saying she thinks it is “very healthy”.
She explained: “I think I have a very healthy relationship with the way that I view the digital world.
“I was born before it was everywhere you go, before it was the official news source, and before it was an obligatory or a necessity in your career.
“I grew up right before it was able to harass you in schools and get you cyberbullied in class. I just missed that mark.”
The singer, who has nearly 13 million followers on Instagram and nearly 27 million followers on TikTok, added: “I don’t need social media, social media needs me. Social media literally needs people to function.
“I don’t need to go on the internet and feel better about stuff anymore. I have a therapist. I have best friends. I have an amazing team around me who I can talk to. I got love.”

A 12-MONTH plan has paid dividends for Tom and Joy Surawksi at this year's Ekka prime cattle competition in the form of a grand champion broad ribbon.
The Boonah producers took out the top honour with a pen of three Limousin heifers, which were also named the champion pen of three heifers or steers earlier in the event.

The Surawski's purchased the three apricot heifers as weaners about 12 months ago when they weighed about 200 kilograms with the sole purpose of preparing them for Thursday's competition.
Competition judge Matthew Noakes, Bottletree, South Mornish, was wowed by the pen that averaged 490kg and were sold by Shepherdson and Boyd for 460 cents a kilogram, or $2254 a head.
"What I really liked about these heifers is that fit into almost any kind of market," Mr Noakes said.
"They are HGP-free, they're heavy enough to go export, they're light enough to go trade and if you're trying to make a statement about one article that fits every purpose then this is it.
"You've got an article that has a lot of wider value across most markets, which is what I think gives these heifers the edge."

Thursday's victory marked the third time the Surawskis have claimed a grand champion ribbon in the Ekka prime cattle competition, although My Surawski said preparation for this year's event was like none before it.
"It's easily the wettest year that we've competed in," he said.
"These heifers have been standing in mud for a lot of the time and at our place Mountain View, which is about 20 kilometres south east of Boonah, it has been pretty wet for most of the time we've had these heifers.
"In saying that, they still came up really well and we're really pleased to have won another grand champion ribbon."
In total, 65 cattle were entered is this year's competition across the single steer and heifer, pen of three and pen of six categories with prices ranging from a top of 510c/kg to a low of about 410c/kg, while most averaged about 470c/kg.
A highlight of the sale was a run of three Charbray steers entered by Stanhope Cattle Co, Wondai, which weighed 640, 645 and 624kg respectively and sold for 434c/kg or $2777, $2779 and $2708 respectively.
However, topping the sale was a Limousin steer on behalf of the Livingstone family that weighed 735kg and sold for 430c/kg or $3160.
Also passing the $3000-mark was a Limousin steer offered by Matthew and Peta O'Dwyer, which weighed 664kg and sold for 470c/kg or $3120.
The champion single steer, which was a Limousin steer weighing 703kg entered by Bill Goetsch that also won the lead steer competition at FarmFest last month, topped the sale when it was knocked down for 460c/kg or $3223.
Overall, most entries sold for about $2500 a head with prices ranging from the $3223 top to a base of about $2000.

Alice Wahome: Gachagua Staged Sterling Performance, Karua Must Be Regretting Debating Him
- Alice Wahome, a close ally of William Ruto, observed that Martha Karua must regret after facing off with Rigathi Gachagua
- The MP indicated she went through the media opinion polls, and they all indicated that Rigathi Gachagua scored above Martha Karua
- Former Nyeri MP Priscilla Nyokabi differed with Alice Wahome, insisting that Rigathi Gachagua failed during the debate
Kandara Member of Parliament Alice Wahome has applauded her Mathira counterpart Rigathi Gachagua on what she termed as staging a sterling performance during the presidential running mate debate.
Wahome, a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto, further said that Martha Karua, the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party running mate must regret after facing off with Gachagua.
"The people of Kandara just like myself feel Gachagua staged a sterling performance. There has been this narrative that Gachagua can't match Karua. I can tell you he scored, and he went home with the reward," Wahome explained.
Media opinion polls
Speaking to Citizen TV on Wednesday, July 20, Wahome said that she went through the media opinion polls and they all indicated that Gachagua scored above Karua.

"All the media polls put out there on social media indicated Gachagua scored 70 plus while Karua was scoring 15 to 21," she added.
But in a quick rejoinder, former Nyeri MP Priscilla Nyokabi differed with Wahome, insisting that Gachagua failed during the debate.
"He (Gachagua) failed by bringing into the ring someone who was not in the ring. He kept referring to President Uhuru Kenyatta. Gachagua mentioned him over 75 times, yet the president is not in the presidential ring this year," Nyokabi fired back at Wahome.
She said that Gachagua was not debating Karua, but Uhuru instead.
"We need to have a debate on the real issues. Families are not involved in corruption it is the individuals. As Azimio, we feel Karua performed so well. As a woman, she did extremely well to keep her composure until the end," Nyokabi added.
In a related story, a hilarious moment availed itself as Gachagua duelled with Karua in the Tuesday, July 19 presidential running mates debate.
Top contenders in the August contest
The two are deputising the presumed leading contenders in the August 9 presidential vote, and their face-off on Tuesday mirrored how things would be on July 26 as their principals tackle each other in the final debate ahead of the General Election.
At some point, while coming back to a challenge from Karua, Rigathi mistook her for her mother.
Karua alleged that Rigathi and his principal are aware and could presumably be a party to the corruption cartel that has been fleecing Kenyans.
In his response, Rigathi said;
"Since "my mother", Martha, who is actually my mother, my late mother is the late Martha Kirigo. Since she (Karua) joined the government, she has been consumed by the same lies," said Rigathi amid laughter from the audience.

U.S. President Joe Biden misspoke and said that he has cancer while delivering a speech on climate change. The 79-year-old visited Somerset, Massachusetts on July 20, where he announced a series of executive orders to battle the rapid climate change.
While discussing the downside of the emissions caused by oil refineries, Biden shared an anecdote about his childhood in Delaware. He said that he and the people he grew up with are now suffering from cancer due to these emissions.
Joe Biden, a native of Claymonth, Delaware, which harbors a number of oil refineries, said:
“And because it was a four-lane highway that was accessible, my mother drove us rather than us be able to walk. And guess what? The first frost, you know what was happening? You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. That’s why I and so d*mn many other people I grew up with have cancer, and why, for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.”
After the clip of the US President's speech went viral, it made headlines due to his alarming revelation about his health, which sparked a number of online debates.
Soon after his speech, White House Spokesperson Andrew Bates clarified Biden's statement. Bates pointed out that the US President had “non-melanoma skin cancers” removed before he took over the Presidency.
However, people were confused with Biden's wording while delivering the speech.
Twitter was confused by Joe Biden's statement in recent speech
Twitterati were quick to point out President Joe Biden's slip of tongue while delivering a speech in Massachusetts related to climate change. People were left wondering why the 79-year-old spoke in the present tense, especially after the White House clarified his so-called gaffe.
Many also mocked the sitting President for not battling cancer but Alzheimer's due to his frequent slip-ups.
One user was quick to point out that no one seemed to care about what the President said because "no one takes what he says seriously." They added that no one seemed to know whether they believed Biden's claims or not. This was a sentiment that was echoed by several others.
Some users were also left wondering why Biden blamed the cancer on oil slicks and others simply called him out for misspeaking several times so far. Meanwhile, some wondered whether the 79-year-old was "complulsively lying again."
President Joe Biden had a history of cancer
President Joe Biden's recent speech in Massachusetts raised many eyebrows about his health, especially because of his age.
Before taking over the position as the President of the United States, Biden's doctor released his health report in 2021. The report released by Dr. Kevin O'Connor did not point out that Biden is currently battling any sort of cancer.
Rather, the report stated that Biden's skin cancer at the time was due to his prolonged exposure to the sun because he worked as a swimming pool lifeguard when he was young. It wasn't due to the emissions from the oil industry.
The report added:
“He has had several localized, non-melanoma skin cancers removed with Mohs surgery before he started his presidency. These lesions were completely excised, with clear margins.”
Biden misspeaking at Massachusetts isn't an isolated incident
Biden, who happens to be the oldest President ever elected to run the country, has sparked several controversies due to his frequent speech gaffes. This has led several Democrat members to question whether he is too old to preside over the position.
In January of this year, Joe Biden delivered a speech in Atlanta where he stated that he was held while protesting in the civil rights movement. However, he had no concrete proof to back up his claim.
In September 2021, Biden claimed that his first job was offered by Boise Cascade, a manufacturer of wood products.
However, the company rejected those statements, adding that there was no record of the President's application or of him having worked there. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/fact-check-does-joe-biden-cancer-president-s-speech-oil-refineries-delaware-debunked | 2022-07-21T09:09:17Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/fact-check-does-joe-biden-cancer-president-s-speech-oil-refineries-delaware-debunked | true | 1 |
Scientists reveal origin of mammal evolution milestone: warm-bloodedness
>> Reuters
Published: 21 Jul 2022 12:52 PM BdST Updated: 21 Jul 2022 12:52 PM BdST
Scientists have answered a longstanding question about mammalian evolution, examining ear anatomy of living and extinct mammals and their close relatives to determine when warm-bloodedness - a trait integral to the lineage's success - first emerged.
Researchers said on Wednesday that the reduced size of inner ear structures called semicircular canals - small, fluid-filled tubes that help in keeping balance - in fossils of mammal forerunners showed that warm-bloodedness, called endothermy, arose roughly 233 million years ago during the Triassic Period.
These first creatures that attained this milestone, called mammaliamorph synapsids, are not formally classified as mammals, as the first true mammals appeared roughly 30 million years later. But they had begun to acquire traits associated with mammals.
Endothermy evolved at a time when important features of the mammal body plan were falling into place, including whiskers and fur, changes to the backbone related to gait, the presence of a diaphragm, and a more mammal-like jaw joint and hearing system.
"Endothermy is a defining feature of mammals, including us humans. Having a quasi-constant high body temperature regulates all our actions and behaviors, from food intake to cognition, from locomotion to the places where we live," said paleontologist Ricardo Araújo of the University of Lisbon's Institute of Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion, co-lead author of the study published in the journal Nature.
The high metabolisms of mammal bodies maintain internal temperature independent of their surroundings. Cold-blooded animals like lizards adopt strategies like basking in the sun to warm up.
Mammalian endothermy arrived at an eventful evolutionary moment, with dinosaurs and flying reptiles called pterosaurs - creatures that long would dominate ecosystems - first appearing at about that time. Endothermy offered advantages.
"Run faster, run longer, be more active, be active through longer periods of the circadian cycle, be active through longer periods of the year, increase foraging area. The possibilities are endless. All this at a great cost, though. More energy requires more food, more foraging, and so on. It is a fine balance between the energy you spend and the energy you intake," Araújo said.
The mammalian lineage evolved from cold-blooded creatures, some boasting exotic body plans like the sail-backed Dimetrodon, mixing reptile-like traits like splayed legs and mammal-like traits like the arrangement of certain jaw muscles.
Endothermy emerged relatively quickly, in perhaps less than a million years, rather than a longer, gradual process, said paleontologist and study co-lead author Romain David of the Natural History Museum in London.
An early example was a vaguely weasel-like species, Pseudotherium argentinus, in Argentina about 231 million years ago. The later true mammals were the ancestors of today's three mammalian groups: placentals, marsupials and monotremes.
"Given how central endothermy is to so many aspects of the body plan, physiology and lifestyle of modern mammals, when it evolved in our ancient ancestors has been a really important unsolved question in paleontology," said paleontologist and study co-author Ken Angielczyk of the Field Museum in Chicago.
Determining when endothermy originated through fossils has been tough. As Araújo noted: "We cannot stick thermometers in the armpit of your pet Dimetrodon, right?"
The inner ear provided a solution. The viscosity, or runniness, of inner ear fluid - and all fluid - changes with temperature. This fluid in cold-blooded animals is cooler and thicker, necessitating wider canals. Warm-blooded animals have less viscous ear fluid and smaller semicircular canals.
The researchers compared semicircular canals in 341 animals, 243 extant and 64 extinct. This showed endothermy arriving millions of years later than some prior estimates.
Mammals played secondary roles in ecosystems dominated by dinosaurs before taking over after the mass extinction event 66 million years ago. Among today's animals, mammals and birds are warm-blooded.
"It is maybe too far-fetched, but interesting, to think that the onset of endothermy in our ancestors may have ultimately led to the construction of the Giza pyramids or the development of the smartphone," Araújo said. "If our ancestors would have not become independent of environmental temperatures, these human achievements would probably not be possible."

As a youngster, when Kaija Saariaho laid down in bed at night, she couldn't stop the music churning in her head. She'd ask her mother to "turn off" the pillow, thinking the sounds were emanating from there — but this music was her own invention, an early mark of a teeming imagination.
The Finnish composer, who will turn 70 this year, says music still swirls inside her. She became a master at harnessing it into some of the most colorful, dreamlike and arresting compositions to be heard over the past four decades. Her operas are staged in the most prestigious houses, her orchestral and chamber music is heard worldwide and her broad range of work is well-represented on recordings.
As a shy student who nonetheless pushed her way into a composition class at Helsinki's Sibelius Academy, Saariaho decided early on that life would be meaningless if she didn't pursue composing. After the Academy, she went to Germany to study, and in the early 1980s landed in Paris at IRCAM (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music), founded by Pierre Boulez, where she began to develop one of her signature sonic landscapes — a seamless blend of electronic and acoustic orchestration. Saariaho's blossoming career got an extra boost in 2000 when her debut opera, L'Amour de loin, directed by Peter Sellars, premiered to significant acclaim at the Salzburg Festival. The work would later be staged at New York's Metropolitan opera, only the second opera by a woman heard there since 1903.
From her home in Paris, where she's mainly lived since the early 1980s, Saariaho sat down to talk about the challenges along her path to success — including sexist professors, conservative institutions and plain old low self-esteem — and the profound love of sound that drives her desire to compose. Her mantra, korvat auki (ears open), is taken from the name of a group of like-minded composers she co-founded back in the 1970s. It was a plea for music presenters and listeners alike to embrace the widest variety of music. It's still good advice today.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Tom Huizenga: You've said that when you were starting out as a young composer in Finland you were a little annoyed with the modern music scene there. What was the problem?
Kaija Saariaho: The problem in Finland in the 1970s and '80s was that it was very closed. My generation felt that there was no place for us and no interest in our music — and more generally, modern music was heard much less.
I was studying with Paavo Heininen — who had been studying in Köln with [Bernd Alois] Zimmerman and in the Juilliard School — whose mind was very curious. He really encouraged us to find all the different things that were happening in the world at that time, and that was basically impossible in Finland. So that's why we founded this Korvat auki, "Ears Open," society, because we wanted different kinds of music to be heard in Finland, and of course we wanted our music heard as well.
So the purpose of the Korvat auki group was to tell people, "Open up your ears and hear more music," right? What was your own music sounding like at that time? Did you feel any pressure to write music that sounded extra-"modern," as a reaction to the establishment?
In all times of my life as a composer, I always wrote the music that I needed to write. I don't think I ever wrote music to react to other music — I really had a very strong need to express myself. And what happened in Finland happened in Finland, but I don't think that concerns my music, really. I was not the rebel, in that sense.
You've told stories about some professors at the Sibelius Academy, in Helsinki, who didn't want to teach you. They said you were a pretty woman who would soon be married and they didn't want to waste their time on you. What is it like looking back on that time now?
It was a very normal thing [at] that time, and I didn't think of much of myself anyway, so it was not so shocking. I was disappointed only when I told other people about it — like my young male colleagues, they couldn't believe their ears. Now when I think about it, it's a pity, but that's how that period was. At some point I thought, "Well that's what they say and that's what they think, but I'm going to write my music and I will find my way." The most important person was Paavo Heininen, and he never talked about me being a woman. His objective was to teach me to compose.
It sounds like you're saying that you didn't have such a high opinion of yourself back then. Could you explain that a bit more?
Well, I never became a composer because I thought that I'm so fantastic, and my ideas are so fantastic and the whole world needs to hear them. I loved music so much that I felt that I'm not skilled enough, I will never be. There is so much mediocre and boring music, and I didn't want to be one of those composers. But then, at some point, I just had this urge that I need to do this — to learn, to write my music. And it seemed to be really the most important thing in the world. I had a feeling that I must not be shy, I must be brave enough to be able to do it, and that was the only worthy way of living my life.
In its own way, that is a rebellious act. Just knowing in your heart that you had become a composer, and finding a way to do it, seems like a pretty bold move.
Yes, but it was an inner fight. When I felt the necessity, it was not anymore a question of if I'm brave or a coward. It was not a question of whether I would be the only woman doing this or that. I didn't care about that anymore, because I just needed to do it. And then I just did it.
Were there any obstacles in your way in the past that are no longer there because of the success you've had?
Of course. There were many obstacles when I was young. People didn't take me seriously; it was just the norm. And cultures are very different. In Finland, which is normally a very equalitarian county — or used to be and now is much more — in the most important political or cultural positions, there was always a man. That was completely clear. Then there was the sauna culture: You make your meetings in a sauna, where everybody is naked. It depends on the woman, but I was never very comfortable in that situation. [Laughs.] So there were many different strategies to close women out.
I'm sure you know that you are only the second woman to have an opera staged at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Before L'Amour de loin was produced there in 2016, you have to go all the way back to Ethel Smyth's Der Wald, in 1903. I'm wondering if you see that as a problem.
Well, I see that as a problem for many other women who have written great operas. Of course I knew about it when I was in New York for L'Amour de loin; that was about the only thing that people spoke about. It should be like, OK, even if that happened, what about discussing the music? Everybody wants to discuss how it is to be a woman composer, and the short answer would be: How could I know, because I was never a male composer. I just would have liked them to speak about music. But then, today it's different: The culture of personalities has taken over in all fields, with social media and all this. So I feel that today, when there is so much more equality — and of course, there still could be and should be more — we could finally speak about music. But no, it's still about all these questions.
I agree, although the numbers don't lie. In the upcoming season of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, they are presenting music of 53 different composers. Six of them are women. In the Cleveland Orchestra this upcoming season, they are presenting music of 39 different composers. Only three are women. A few years ago, it was worse: In the 2018-2019 season of the Philadelphia Orchestra, they presented music by 55 different composers — no women. We don't have to keep talking about it, but it's kind of mind-boggling.
I agree with you. I know about these numbers, and they are similar in Finland. I hope that the people who make their decisions, that there would be more women among those people, and even that doesn't necessarily help, because there is still this idea of genius as being masculine, you know? This is something that we need to deal with. Somehow I'm hopeful — if we don't destroy the whole planet before finding those solutions, I'm optimistic about it.
Getting back to your music, was there a breakthrough piece for you early in your career — a work that captured people's attention?
The World Music Days that were organized in every country, every year — my first orchestra piece, Verblendungen, was performed at one of them in 1984. And then Lichtbogen, an ensemble piece, was maybe in '86 or '87. I have a feeling that these two were really important, because after that I felt suddenly my music started to be asked for much more. Until Verblendungen, I was very much spending my time only composing, and had very few concerts.
What do you think it was about Verblendungen or Lichtbogen that stood out?
Verblendungen was quite an unusual piece, through the construction and the electronic part — linear but clear. The progression of the music was quite audible, and that was different from all the post-serial music that was mainly played, for example, in that festival at that moment.
Lichtbogen is a quite advanced piece when it comes to the harmonic language. My own harmony can be recognized in that piece. And then, my use of electronics and instrumental music was also more typical of me, and became something where the electronics is the extension of the musical expression: There was no clear conflict between the electronic and the acoustic music. Blended. And I think that was quite unusual at the time.
In 2008, you wrote an orchestral piece I really like called The Magic Lantern. It's inspired by director Ingmar Bergman's autobiography of the same name, where he tells the story of how he was entranced by the flickering images of a primitive film projector he had as a child. And it reminds me of a childhood story of yours that I'd love for you to tell, about imagining sounds in your mind.
Sometimes, when I was in bed in the evening, I kept on hearing this music, and it was repeating itself. I couldn't sleep because of that, so I asked my mother if she could turn the pillow off, because I was imagining that it came from the pillow. I didn't think that it was uncommon, because that was my reality, and how could I know that somebody else had a different reality? Anyway, in my imagination, there were sounds and colors; I remember smells and music, which was sometimes like music boxes. And it made me, sometimes, a little bit absent-minded, because the sensations were very strong.
I'm curious: That child imagining her music, is she still a part of you today?
Yes, very much. Life is very different now [laughs]. But yes, of course, constantly.
That idea of color is something I am fascinated by, because the kaleidoscopic palette you conjure up from an orchestra is exceptional. Do you associate music with color at all, like some people who have what they call synesthesia?
I have some connections with colors and certain instruments. I imagine very much the decrease of light, and I think very much about texture, the surface of certain sounds. I think that sound and color are not completely detached from each other. That's maybe how it is in our brain — certain sounds, or certain kinds of music, can have even a specific smell. So I feel that all the senses are somehow present when I compose.
There is another aspect of your music that intrigues me, and that is the dreamlike quality of some of your pieces. I'm thinking about the transparent scrims of sound in Winter Sky, or à la Fumée, with its dark corners and smoky flutes, or the piece Caliban's Dream. I'm wondering, do you hear this dreamy quality in your music at all? Do you get inspiration from dreams?
Yes, I do. Dreams are super-important for me. I spend time writing down my dreams because I want to understand them; I think they are messages from myself to myself. They can be very inspirational also, because they keep a consistent quality, even if the people all of a sudden change and you are suddenly in a different place: The story can jump in different ways and there is something in the background that keeps it together. And then this sense of time, which can be so different in dreams. I feel that we composers create illusions about the perception of time. It has a lot to do — if we speak about orchestral music — with orchestration, with the registers, about the rhythmic nature, how active it is or how inactive it is.
In the Sibelius Seventh Symphony, for example, there are some splendid places where suddenly we leave the music and we step out of time, into the musical space. This is my dream — to bring my music there, bring the listener there, and then ask myself: What do I do now? How do I get them out from here without disappointment? How do I get myself out? Or should we come out at all? For me, that's the most central and fantastic thing that can happen in orchestral music.
I'm so happy to hear that, because I belong to a group that meets via Zoom, where we talk about our dreams. When you hear the dreams of others, you realize some of them have connections to your own, and that can help you figure out – as you say – what you're trying to tell yourself.
Speaking of messages, I have a question about the bio on your website. It says that your music is "not a working out of abstract processes, but an urgent communication from composer to listener of ideas, images and emotions." I'm wondering how important it is for you to connect with the listener. Some composers claim not to care.
Of course it's important that my music communicates. I mean, music is communication. But I cannot think about the listener when I'm composing. I cannot expect something from a listener because every listener is different, and every listener listens differently. I'm just trying to express what I imagine.
When we think about human cultures — or human cultures that we know up to now — there wasn't one without music. Music is so fantastically flexible. It has been used in all the rituals and always it finds its place. So I hope that contemporary music like mine also finds its place.
Most of us, whether in our careers or just in life, play to our strengths: We know what we do well and we do it. But you seem to enjoy challenging yourself. With Vista, your recent orchestral work, you purposefully left out what you call "some of my signature instruments." And with your opera La Passion de Simone, about the French philosopher, you said: "I don't agree with her thoughts but they force me to create my own opinions." How does this idea of challenging your own status quo contribute to your artistic process?
Well, I'm forced to find new kinds of solutions. Maybe for other people my music always sounds the same, but at least for me, it always remains a challenge to find my way, doing it the way I find satisfying. It's true, I like challenges a lot. I think there is nothing more boring than a composer who found some kind of recipe and keeps on repeating himself or herself.
Now you remind me of Pierre Boulez, who was very opinionated about those he called "lazy composers," who just relied on the past. He was always looking for something new and something fresh. Are there new directions for music to go today?
I wouldn't say new, but I think that there are fresh ways to express oneself today. We have all these good old parameters, but it seems that with good, clear ideas, you can still do some things which are interesting. You need to keep your mind alert.

Oregon 2022 titbits: Let me be free
What you need to know:
- The relationship between journalists and athletes is significant, especially for individual sports disciplines like athletics.
One of the most difficult things to deal with has been the 10-hour time difference with Kampala. So I still find myself awake late at night here while it is day in Kampala.
And as the championship goes for the evening session, my eyes start to demand. Another pressing bit to note is that when the evening session ends at about 8pm here, which is 12am in Kampala, the sun is still up. On one of the days, I thought it was 6pm only to reach bed at 11pm.
And Whatsapp texts and emails from home during the night here don’t make this topic any better. This, being written at 4:30am, Oregon time!
Cycling in the night
Oregon State is beautiful. It is largely a countryside of sorts with plenty of green and pretty peaceful. There are homesteads but one may struggle to find the habitats except at the Hayward Field where they have religiously turned out in big numbers. The few within the neighbourhoods are either jogging, walking a dog or driving through.
I was however amazed by the other small cluster of residents here who ride bicycles in the night, most common being ladies.
Turn on the front light, hit the road through different blocks at 10pm or even 11pm. With the streets even quieter, it looked attractive. I wouldn’t try it though in Kampala Metropolitan.
Dos Santos wins bet
The relationship between journalists and athletes is significant, especially for individual sports disciplines like athletics. And that explains the bond between 400m hurdler Alison Dos Santos and Brazil’s Olympic Channel journalist Joao Barretto.
Barretto had grown a moustache and beard for a year but on Monday, he staked with Dos Santos that if the latter won the world title, he’d shave it off. On Tuesday evening, Dos Santos powered to the 400m hurdles gold via lane 6 with a championship record time of 46.29 seconds. Before Barretto left the stadium, he had already shaved yet overly delighted for his country’s gold. | https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/sports/athletics/oregon-2022-titbits-let-me-be-free-3886702 | 2022-07-21T09:13:37Z | https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/sports/athletics/oregon-2022-titbits-let-me-be-free-3886702 | false | 1 |

The world’s first store to sell legal ‘ecstasy’ is now open in the Netherlands, but, as with all great things, there’s a catch.
De XTC Winkel in Utrecht is a “demo store,” MixMag reported. It will remain open until September, but since MDMA -- the so-called love drug -- is outlawed in the Netherlands, no one will actually be able to buy molly at this storefront.
In collaboration with researchers at the Utrecht University and the drug museum Poppi, De XTC Winkel challenges the public to imagine what safe, legal MDMA sales would look like.
“Suppose the government regulates the sale of ecstasy. What does that look like?” stated Poppi’s website, according to an autotranslation. “Can anyone buy it anywhere? Or would you prefer an age limit and strict supervision? You decide! Come to the ecstasy store and test it out.”
There are, essentially, three legalization models pressed into one at De XTC Winkel. Here’s how it works.
Image via
First, there’s the nightclub model. This is the current model where most folks get their MDMA. It’s entirely unregulated.
Second, there’s the pharmacy model. This is the most strict sales model, which is heavily regulated and closely monitored.
Third, there’s the storefront model, similar to what we see with licensed pot shops in the US. It’s heavily regulated from the sales end, but for the customer, it’s as simple as picking up a bottle of booze (or, in truly fortunate states, a bottle of weed).
Steven Rolles, senior policy analyst at the Transform Drug Policy Foundation visited the store and reviewed it in a series of tweets. One included a hypothetical package for legal ecstasy via the pharmacy model.
Its open to the public from Friday till middle of September

See here for details:https://t.co/2D46exnj4z
Visitors interact with the different models - and receive packaging with dummy pills - then give their reactions - to help inform policy development going forward.

It gets deeper than all that, too. According to the researchers, visitors will not only experience what MDMA storefronts would be like, they’re also encouraged to participate in a “serious game,” which is where the actual research study comes in.
Visitors can interact with the three legalization models as they please. Although no actual MDMA is sold or given out at the demo shop, participants are asked a series of questions to help the Dutch government determine how, exactly, stimulants such as MDMA ought to be legalized. Is there a maximum price point, where even the most loaded buyer won’t go above? Should there be an age limit (obviously), and if so, what age should that be? Should MDMA be sold in stale, generic packaging like affordable medications, or should it be sold in lavish, flashy packaging, like legal weed in the US?
While Dutch researchers explore what an adult-use or recreational MDMA market may look like, Americans continue to make progress on the medical front. The US House of Representatives recently approved a bipartisan defense spending bill that includes funds for researching medical uses of MDMA and other outlawed psychedelics.
MDMA is currently in Phase III clinical trials in the US, where it’s being studied as a psychiatric treatment for PTSD and depression.

If you’re looking for a template of a brilliant striker in the Premier Soccer League, you look no further than Mamelodi Sundowns’ Peter Shalulile, who has banged in over 50 goals in two seasons for Masandawana.
ALSO READ: Williams finally seals Sundowns move – report
While “Sha Sha”, as the Namibian striker is affectinately known in football circles, gets all the credit and makes the headlines, his coach, Rulani Mokwena has revealed that Sibusiso Vilakazi, has had a huge influence on Shalulile’s performance even though he did not feature much for the club in the past two seasons.
Vilakazi left Sundowns last week and joined TS Galaxy where he looks to re-establish himself as a regular player.
“He is a former PSL Footballer of the Season, he is a multiple league winner and he won trophies with Bidvest Wits. We know the type of footballer that we lost and it is unfortunate that we got to that space where we could not guarantee him the game time that he deserves. He was a bit unfortunate with us with injuries but not a lot is said about “Vila” the human being,” said Mokwena.
“He is a person who has always looked to put the team first and has always been ready to be at service. Not a lot of people know that a lot of what you see from Peter Shalulile is from a lot of Vilakazi’s influence in the background. “Vila” has shown that to be a top player you need to be a good human being,” Mokwena added.
Galaxy struggled the whole of last season and survived the drop on the last day of the season. The club has since reinforced their squad and “Vila” is, without doubt, their marquee signing.
“Galaxy have received a player who knows how to win and he will add a lot in their change room in terms of mentoring and assisting the younger ones,” said Mokwena.
“We can only thank him for his relentless effort in trying to make us a better team and his efforts in assisting us to achieve what the club has achieved when he was here. We wish him the best of luck because he deserves to be happy and we cannot keep players who we cannot guarantee their happiness. He deserves to finish off his career on a high note and hopefully Galaxy can offer him that,” he added. | https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/soccer/local-soccer/3150833/shalulile-and-sundowns-will-miss-vilakazi-claims-mokwena/ | 2022-07-21T09:21:03Z | https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/soccer/local-soccer/3150833/shalulile-and-sundowns-will-miss-vilakazi-claims-mokwena/ | false | 1 |
The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a plea of a man, whose 17-year-old daughter was found dead at a private residential school in Tamil Nadu, that a doctor of his choice be permitted to be part of a team of experts to conduct a fresh post-mortem or autopsy on her body.
The death of the class 12 girl on July 13 in the premises of the residential school had sparked off violence in certain areas of Kallakurichi district in Tamil Nadu.
A bench of Justices BR Gavai and PS Narsimha, however, granted liberty to the father to approach the high court and bring all the information to their notice. "Why should we doubt independent experts (to conduct post mortem)?," the bench said.
The top court asked the petitioner to either withdraw or face dismissal of the case.The matter was then dismissed as withdrawn.
On July 19, a bench headed by Chief Justice NV Ramana had refused to agree to the plea of a man that a doctor of his choice be permitted to be part of a team of experts ordered by the Madras High Court to conduct a fresh postmortem on her body.
The high court, while taking strong note of violent incidents, had directed the state police chief to constitute a special investigation team (SIT) to identify the rioters and take stern action against them.
It had also ordered a re-postmortem on the body of the girl. But a plea from the victim's father to include a doctor of his choice to participate in the re-postmortem was turned down.

Greater Western Exodus: More Giants bound for the trade market
By Sam McClure
Victorian powerhouses are set to be the beneficiary of yet another player exodus at Greater Western Sydney, with Richmond, Collingwood and Geelong about to embark on a feeding frenzy on the franchise club.
With the Giants looking to rejuvenate their list quickly under the leadership of a new coach, contracted midfield star Jacob Hopper is set to follow Tim Taranto out the door.
Small forward Bobby Hill and talented youngster Tanner Bruhn are also expected to leave the club in the upcoming trade period.
While The Age revealed earlier this month that Taranto was looking to move south after he was offered a contract extension on less money than he’s currently earning, industry sources have confirmed to The Age that Hopper is also likely to leave.
He is considering lucrative proposals from both Geelong and Richmond, who are both looking to stay in the hunt for premierships in the near future. There may be a third option, with Adelaide expressing interest.
The Tigers are also looking at Taranto as they scour the competition for a replacement for triple premiership captain Trent Cotchin, who may be in his last season, but they will face stern competition from Collingwood, who are desperate to add another ball-winning midfielder.
The Magpies are ready to listen to offers for the bad-boy free agent Jordan De Goey and All-Australian ruckman Brodie Grundy, who has a whopping five years left on his contract at an average of $1 million per season.
Collingwood believe that De Goey has already met with rival clubs St Kilda and Geelong. Sources at St Kilda are adamant that’s not the case and are yet to receive permission from the club board to recruit De Goey, who has had a history of off-field incidents. Geelong chose not to comment on the record but confirmed De Goey was a player of interest.
The Cats are showing strong interest in Hopper, while they are also keeping a close eye on Bruhn, a first-round draft pick from two years ago who grew up in Geelong.
Grundy, originally from South Australia, is desperate to stay in Victoria having recently purchased a property with his partner.
GWS are desperate for an A-grade ruckman and have shown interest in trading for Grundy, but only if Collingwood paid a substantial portion of his annual salary.
The inevitable departures of Taranto and Hopper would be another devastating blow for the Giants, who for years have been forced to trade talented players due to an overflowing salary cap.
Originally from Melbourne, Taranto is desperate to stay at the Giants and loves living in Sydney.
Hopper, on the other hand, is a product of the Giants academy and hails from the small town of Leeton in southern New South Wales.
He’s seen internally as the Giants’ best pure midfielder and teammates were shocked when he didn’t win the club’s best-and-fairest award last year. He finished third behind Josh Kelly and Toby Greene.
Both Taranto and Hopper are two of the most respected and loved figures at the Giants and, at 24 and 25 years old respectively, are in the prime of their careers.
The Giants are already paying million-dollar men Kelly and Stephen Coniglio, while fellow stars Greene and Lachie Whitfield are both earning in excess of $900,000 per season.
Star defender Nick Haynes is also entering the final two years of a heavily back-ended contract.
Were the Giants to keep Taranto and Hopper, there would be seven players at GWS next season earning $6.5 million - half of the team’s salary cap.
GWS believe they have enough depth to deal with the pending exodus. They have highly-rated youngsters Tom Green, Xavier O’Halloran, Lachie Ash and Finn Callaghan, who was taken at pick three in last year’s national draft.
The Giants chose not to comment when contacted by The Age. | https://www.watoday.com.au/sport/afl/greater-western-exodus-more-giants-bound-for-the-trade-market-20220721-p5b3jo.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport_afl | 2022-07-21T09:30:55Z | https://www.watoday.com.au/sport/afl/greater-western-exodus-more-giants-bound-for-the-trade-market-20220721-p5b3jo.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport_afl | true | 10 |
A woman passing in and out of consciousness after suffering a punch to the head from her violent ex had her seatbelt unclipped and was pushed out of a vehicle onto a road by the man.
But realising there were people nearby who may have witnessed the violence play out, Laimeni Nikotemo, 23, quickly grabbed the woman and "manhandled" her back into the car.
Covered in abrasions and with a sore head, she begged to be taken home. And while Nikotemo agreed, it wouldn't be the last time the woman would suffer at the hands of her ex, New Plymouth District Court heard on Thursday.
Moments before the January 15 attack this year, Nikotemo, who was on bail at the time with a condition not to associate with the woman, was driving around New Plymouth with her in his car.

Advertise with NZME.When the pair began to argue he leaned over and punched her to the side of the head, causing her to lose consciousness, a police summary of facts stated.
Instead of seeking help, he continued to drive around while yelling at the woman "I will get rid of you".
He started to drive up a hill towards a lookout in the district, when he stopped the car and pushed her out.
After she was dropped at home, the woman sought medical help for her injuries.
A couple of months later, Nikotemo's violent streak reared its head again.
He was at the woman's house on May 10 when she received a phone call. After taking the call outside for privacy purposes, Nikotemo put his hand around her throat, pushed her and then punched her in the face.
The woman was treated at Taranaki Base Hospital for swelling to her face, a severely bloodshot eye and a sore neck.
In court, Nikotemo pleaded guilty to a representative charge of injuring with intent to injure and assault with intent to injure. The charges carry maximum penalties of five and three years' imprisonment, respectively.

Kwara Universal Basic Education Board has commenced the construction of 39 Digital Literacy Centres (DLC) in basic education schools across the state.
A statement from the board’s Press Secretary, Amina Atere, on Thursday in Ilorin said the project would also deepen students’ interest in information and communication technology.
“The centres across the 16 LGAs will enable Kwara students to compete favourably with their counterparts across the globe using information and communication technology.
”The DLC is equipped with computers and several accessories,” she said.
Atere also said the project was in continuation of the efforts of Gov. Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq to reposition basic education in the state.
“This began with the payment of diverted funds which brought Kwara State under the hammer of the Universal Basic Education Commission,” she said.

AWKA — NO fewer than 6,000 out of 31,000 applicants who participated in the online recruitment examination for teachers in Anambra State have scaled through.
The state governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo ordered for employment of both primary and secondary school teachers in the state school system barely two months after assumption of office to beef up teacher/students ratio in the state.
The state Commissioner for information, Mr Paul Nwosu said yesterday after the state’s weekly Executive Council meeting in Awka that following the recent teachers’ Computer Based Test(CBT), a total of 6,250 candidates have been shortlisted for oral interview for the teaching jobs across the state.
According to him, 3,250 would be deployed to primary schools, while 3,000 would be for secondary schools, adding that the oral interviews had been scheduled to commence on the 27th of July, 2022 and would last for two weeks,.
Nwosu said: “The interviews, which will come in batches, will hold at Igwebuike Grammar School Awka; St John of God Secondary School, Awka and Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board( ASUBEB) Awka.”
Vanguard recalls that following the controversy that trailed the first online CBT, Governor Soludo ordered for its cancellation and directed that it should be repeated, with the state government bearing the cost incurred by the applicants. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/6000-scale-through-soludos-teachers-recruitment-exam-2/ | 2022-07-21T09:35:10Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/6000-scale-through-soludos-teachers-recruitment-exam-2/ | true | 2 |

BERLIN (AP) — Europe faced an energy crisis even before drama emerged about the Nord Stream 1 pipeline reopening from Russia to Germany.
While natural gas started flowing again Thursday after the major pipeline shut down for 10 days of maintenance, Europe will still struggle to keep homes warm and industry humming this winter.
That is because Russia has already slashed Europe's amounts of natural gas used to power factories, generate electricity and heat homes in the winter, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned they could keep dwindling.
Deliveries through Nord Stream 1 were cut by 60% before annual repairs began and were expected to stay well below the pipeline’s full capacity. Government officials had feared the pipeline may not reopen at all, saying Putin is using energy for political leverage in his confrontation with the European Union over the war in Ukraine.
Here are key things to know about Europe's energy crisis:
DID RUSSIA CUT OFF GAS TO EUROPE?
It has reduced supplies significantly. Even before the invasion of Ukraine, Russia was not selling gas on the short-term spot market. After the EU imposed sanctions on Russia's banks and companies and started sending weapons to Ukraine, Russian cut off gas to six countries and reduced supplies to six more.
Flows into Germany, the EU's biggest economy, through Nord Stream 1 were dialed back by two-thirds, with Russia blaming a part that was sent to Canada for maintenance and not returned due to sanctions. European leaders rejected that claim, calling it a political move to create uncertainty and spike energy prices.
It has left the 27-member EU scrambling to fill gas storage ahead of winter, when demand rises and utility companies draw down their reserves to keep homes warm and power plants running.
The EU's goal is to use less gas now to build storage for winter. Europe's gas reserves are only 65% full, compared with a goal of 80% by Nov. 1.
WHY IS RUSSIAN NATURAL GAS SO IMPORTANT?
Russia supplied some 40% of Europe's natural gas before the war. That has dropped to around 15%, sending prices through the roof and straining energy-intensive industries.
Gas is used across a range of processes that most people never see — to forge steel to make cars, make glass bottles and pasteurize milk and cheese.
Companies warn that they often can't switch overnight to other energy sources such as fuel oil or electricity to produce heat. In some cases, equipment that holds molten metal or glass is ruined if the heat is turned off.
High energy prices are already threatening to cause a recession in Europe through record inflation, with consumers having less to spend as costs rise for food, fuel and utilities. A complete cutoff could deal an even heavier blow to an already troubled economy.
WHAT IS THE NORD STREAM 1 PIPELINE?
It is the major European natural gas pipeline that runs under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany and is Germany's main source of Russian gas.
The head of Germany’s network regulator, Klaus Mueller, tweeted that gas deliveries could reach the pre-maintenance level of some 40% on Thursday.
Even with Nord Stream 1 resuming at reduced levels, Europe would need to save 12 billion cubic meters of gas, the equivalent of 120 LNG tankers, to fill its storage levels by winter.
Three other pipelines bring Russian gas to Europe, but one through Poland and Belarus has been shut down. Another, through Ukraine and Slovakia, is still bringing reduced amounts of gas despite the fighting, as is one through Turkey into Bulgaria.
Gas also comes by pipeline from Norway, North Africa and Azerbaijan.
WHAT'S PUTIN'S GAME?
Although Russia's oil and gas exporters are selling less energy, spiking prices mean Putin's earnings have actually increased, according to the International Energy Agency.
Since the invasion, Russia's revenue from exporting oil and gas to Europe has doubled over the average from recent years, to $95 billion, the Paris-based IEA said.
The increase in Russia's energy revenue in just the last five months is three times what it typically makes by exporting gas to Europe over an entire winter.
So Putin has cash in hand and could calculate that painful utility bills and an energy recession could undermine public support for Ukraine in Europe and increase sentiment for a negotiated settlement in his favor.
“Based on what we have seen over the past year, it would be unwise to exclude the possibility that Russia could decide to forgo the revenue it gets from exporting gas to Europe in order to gain political leverage,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said.
Indeed, Putin said Tuesday that the flow of gas through Nord Stream 1 would decline even further if the turbine that was sent to Canada for repairs wasn’t returned by late July, when another turbine would shut down for maintenance. Canada has said it gave permission to return the part that powers a compression station.
“Our partners are trying to shift the blame for the mistakes they made to Russia and Gazprom, but it’s absolutely unfounded,” Putin said.
WHAT CAN EUROPE DO?
The EU has turned to more-expensive liquefied natural gas, or LNG, which comes by ship from places like the U.S. and Qatar. Germany is fast-tracking construction of LNG import terminals on its North Sea coast, but that will take years. The first of four floating reception terminals is to come online later this year.
But LNG alone can't make up the gap. The world's LNG export facilities are running at full capacity amid tight energy markets, and there's no more gas to be had. An explosion at a U.S. terminal in Freeport, Texas, that sent most of its gas to Europe took 2.5% of Europe's supply offline overnight.
Conservation and other energy sources are key. For example, Germany is running coal plants longer, creating a gas auction system intended to encourage conservation, and resetting thermostats in public buildings.
The European Union on Wednesday proposed that member states voluntarily cut their gas use by 15% over the coming months. The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, is seeking the power to impose mandatory reductions across the bloc if there's a risk of a severe gas shortage or an exceptionally high demand.
EU member states will discuss the measures at an emergency meeting of energy ministers next Tuesday.
Countries have been scrambling to secure alternative energy supplies, with leaders of Italy, France and the European Union sealing deals with their counterparts in Algeria, Azerbaijan and the United Arab Emirates this week.
COULD PEOPLE FREEZE THIS WINTER?
It's unlikely homes, schools and hospitals will lose heat because governments are required to impose rationing first on businesses. The German government also could allow gas suppliers to immediately pass on increases to customers.
The choices could include torpedoing industry and/or socking consumers with even higher bills.
The IEA recommends European countries step up campaigns people to conserve at home and plan to share gas in an emergency. And time is getting short.
“European leaders need to be preparing for this possibility now to avoid the potential damage that would result from a disjointed and destabilizing response,” Birol said. “This winter could become a historic test of European solidarity — one it cannot afford to fail — with implications far beyond the energy sector.” | https://www.cp24.com/world/explainer-can-europe-live-without-russian-natural-gas-1.5996333 | 2022-07-21T09:40:15Z | https://www.cp24.com/world/explainer-can-europe-live-without-russian-natural-gas-1.5996333 | false | 58 |
Haaland injury fears addressed as delayed Manchester City debut for £51m striker explained by Guardiola
Erling Haaland is still waiting on his debut for Manchester City following his £51 million ($61m) transfer from Borussia Dortmund, with Pep Guardiola revealing “niggles and a few problems” are keeping him on the side-lines for now.
The Premier League champions will not be taking any gambles on the Norwegian striker’s fitness as they ready themselves for the 2022-23 campaign.
The 22-year frontman is being eased into the fold and, with injury struggles holding him back at times last season, he will have to wait until the friendly with Bayern Munich in Green Bay on Saturday before potentially making his bow for a new club.
When will Erling Haaland make his Man City debut?
Explaining why Haaland did not play in the 2-1 victory over Club America in Texas, Guardiola told reporters: “Next game, Erling will be ready. He’s had niggles and a few problems. We’ll see. He’s trained just two sessions and didn’t want to take risks. The season is so long.”
Will Manchester City make any more signings?
Haaland has been joined at Man City this summer by England international midfielder Kalvin Phillips, with more big money being invested.
There have also been departures from Etihad Stadium, with versatile Ukraine international Oleksandr Zinchenko the latest as he prepares to complete a £30m ($36m) move to Arsenal.
Left back cover for him is being sought, with Guardiola admitting there could be movement amid links to Brighton defender Marc Cucurella.
The Catalan coach said: “The club decide what they have to do - and I follow the club. The club decides the signings. We miss an important player in the locker room with Aleks, really really important. We are trying but it doesn't mean it's going to happen.
“If it doesn't happen we have alternatives with Joao Cancelo. Josh is a young young talent and Nathan Ake can play there. We will see what happens. We cannot forget Josh [Wilson-Esbrand]."

ROME (AP) — Italian Premier Mario Draghi resigned Thursday after key coalition allies boycotted a confidence vote, signaling the likelihood of early elections and a renewed period of uncertainty for Italy and Europe at a critical time.
Draghi tendered his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella during a morning meeting at the Quirinale Palace. Mattarella’s office said the president had “taken note” of the resignation and asked Draghi’s government to remain on in a caretaker fashion.
Draghi’s government imploded Thursday after members of his uneasy coalition of right, left and populists rebuffed his appeal to band back together to finish the legislature’s natural term and ensure implementation of the European Union-funded pandemic recovery program.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
ROME (AP) — Italian Premier Mario Draghi’s national unity government appeared to be headed for collapse Thursday after key coalition allies boycotted a confidence vote, signaling the likelihood of an early election and a renewed period of uncertainty for Italy and Europe at a critical time.
Draghi told Parliament's lower chamber on Thursday that he was heading to see President Sergio Mattarella, suggesting his resignation was imminent. Among his options, Mattarella could ask Draghi to stay on in a caretaker role until an early election.
Draghi’s government imploded Wednesday after members of his uneasy coalition of right, left and populists rebuffed his appeal to band back together to finish the legislature’s natural term and ensure implementation of the European Union-funded coronavirus pandemic recovery program.
Instead, the center-right parties of Forza Italia and the League and the populist 5-Star Movement boycotted a confidence vote in the Senate, in a clear sign they were done with Draghi’s 17-month government.
Italian newspapers on Thursday were united in their outrage at the surreal outcome, given Italy is dealing with soaring inflation and energy costs, Russia’s war against Ukraine and outstanding reforms needed to clinch the remainder of the EU’s 200 billion euros in recovery funds.
“Shame,” headlined La Stampa on the front page. “Italy Betrayed,” said La Repubblica. “Farewell to Draghi’s Government,” said Corriere della Sera.
Mattarella had rejected Draghi’s original resignation last week when he first offered it after the 5-Stars boycotted a confidence vote tied to a bill aimed at helping Italy endure soaring inflation and energy costs. Mattarella asked Draghi to return to Parliament to brief lawmakers on the situation, which he did on Wednesday in appealing to party leaders to listen to the calls for unity from ordinary Italians.
While the next steps were unclear, the outcome suggested Mattarella could dissolve Parliament, paving the way for early elections as soon as late September or early October. The legislature’s five-year term had been due to expire in 2023.
In briefing senators Wednesday, Draghi had appealed for the parties to heed the spontaneous appeals for unity from Italian mayors, doctors’ associations and ordinary citizens who had signed petitions in recent days begging Draghi to stay on.
“You don’t have to give the answer to me. You have to give it to all Italians,” he said.
Opinion polls have indicated neck-to-neck percentages for the center-left Democratic Party and the right-wing Brothers of Italy party, which had remained in the opposition to Draghi’s coalition.
The Democrats had tried to salvage its alliance with the 5-Stars, but the populist party has fractured over the crisis leaving the Democrats without a strong ally heading into a possible campaign.
The Brothers of Italy has long been allied with the center-right Forza Italia of ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi and the League of Matteo Salvini, suggesting that a center-right alliance would likely prevail in any election and propel Brothers’ leader Giorgia Meloni to become Italy’s first female premier. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4602428 | 2022-07-21T09:48:32Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4602428 | true | 10 |
Impervious surfaces like roofs, driveways, and roads prevent rainwater from soaking into the ground, which results in water quality impairments. As impervious surfaces increase, more pollutants are washed directly into local waterways.
Lawns are the predominant form of landscaping in America. Although lawns can prevent erosion better than bare soil, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, many lawns can be up to 90% impervious. Homeowners can take simple actions to encourage rain to soak into the ground and reduce their stormwater runoff. Eco-scaping or conservation landscaping is replacing turf grass with native plants to improve water quality, promote native species, and provide wildlife habitat.
Native plants are plants that occurred within this region before European colonization. There are approximately 2,100 native plants in Pennsylvania. Whereas an introduced, non-native, or invasive plant is one that has been brought here and become established in the wild. There are at least 1,300 species of non-native plants in Pennsylvania, that’s 37% of our total wild plant flora. Native plants are easier on the environment, they eliminate the need for fertilizers and pesticides, and rarely require supplemental water. Natives are easier to grow than non-native ornamentals because they are adapted to this area and our regional wildlife like bees, butterflies, and birds have adapted to using native plants as a source of food and shelter.
Dr. Doug Tallamy of the University of Delaware believes that the average homeowner can trigger dramatic reversal of environmental damage without waiting for required changes by law and leadership. Doug states that if half of the American lawns were replaced with native plants, we would create the equivalent of a 20-million-acre national park – nine times bigger than Yellowstone, or 100 times bigger than Shenandoah National Park.
Believe it or not, you aren’t going to find many of these native plants at the big box stores, but you can get them from us- for free– through the Adams County Planting Partnership (ACPP).
This week’s ACPP Species Spotlight is Physocarpus Opulifolius, or common ninebark. Ninebark features yellow, green, or reddish leaves that form a cascading mound. In late spring clusters of white or pink flowers bloom, and the red fruit that is produced in late summer attracts many bird species.
Named for its unusual bark which peels in strips to reveal several layers of reddish to light brown inner bark, ninebark is a popular ‘winter interest’ shrub. This multi-purpose shrub tolerates wet to dry soil, sandy or rocky soil, clay soil, alkaline and acidic soils and all sunlight except full deep shade. It makes an excellent hedge plant, provides good erosion control and deer and rabbits do not normally eat the foliage, bark, or other parts of ninebark shrubs. Ninebark is a long-lived shrub requiring little care once established, makes a good alternative for Japanese spirea, and it is one of the 24 native species being offered for free this fall, through the Adams County Planting Partnership.
The Adams County Conservation District is thankful for the support of our County Commissioners, the Watershed Alliance of Adams County, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and our local planting partners who make the Adams County Planting Partnership a success. | https://www.gettysburgtimes.com/life_entertainment/columns/article_656e391f-3b13-5a48-8aca-4be06b0a6c97.html | 2022-07-21T09:55:48Z | https://www.gettysburgtimes.com/life_entertainment/columns/article_656e391f-3b13-5a48-8aca-4be06b0a6c97.html | true | 1 |

Marrone Bio Innovations offers a wide range of biopesticides in the North American market.
The organic industry is growing fast. According to a survey undertaken by FiBL in 2020 on organic agriculture worldwide, there was an increase in organic farmland by 3 million hectares (4.1%), the number of organic producers, and an increase in the sales of organic products. The rising popularity of organic products due to their perceived health benefits, environmental regulations, pest resistance management, and residue management are fueling the growth of the biopesticides market in the North American market. As a result US-based Marrone Bio Innovations spends a major share in its R&D and offers a wide range of biopesticides products including bioinsecticides, biofungicides, bionematicides, and bioherbicides.
Bioherbicides market is a relatively untapped and small market in comparison to other segments such as bioinsecticides and biofungicides.
Bioherbicides are relatively less commercialized than other types of biopesticides available in the market. This is due to various challenges faced in its development. Due to rising demand for bioherbicides as a result of conventional herbicides, various key players in the market are doing extensive research to develop and commercialize bioherbicides. Marrone Bio Innovations (US) is also making news on its recent acquisition of exclusive rights to high-performing strains of Streptomyces acidiscabies for commercialization of a new second-generation bioherbicide, MBI-006. With the rising demand for effective biosolutions to control weed and invasive species, the demand for bioherbicides is expected to rise in the coming future.
The fruits and vegetables segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 16.0% during the forecast period.
Fruits and vegetables are high-value specialty crops grown on a large scale in greenhouses and open fields. Consumers have turned more health conscious in recent years which has created a shift to specialty crop production due to high demand for healthy and organic foods like fruits and vegetables. High value crops give larger profits to cultivators. Hence, agricultural input is also high. They are also the most exported crop types in the organic sector. Thus, to comply with import regulations especially in the North American and European countries, the fruits and vegetables segment consumes a large share of biopesticides and the demand is projected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.

Europe is projected to reach USD 3,520.3 million during the forecast period.
In 2022, Europe is estimated to have a market share of 30.3% in the global biopesticides market. The European biopesticides market is driven by stringent government policies like Farm to Fork strategy and proposals like 50% reduction in chemical pesticides by 2030 which ensure environment sustainability and food safety. Consumers in the European market are also well aware and thus the demand for organic food items is high. Europe is also a technologically advanced region which gives it an edge over other regions on the application of biopesticides. Thus, the region is projected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period and is projected to reach USD 3,520.3 million during the forecast period.
The key players in this market include BASF SE(Germany), Bayer AG (Germany), and Syngenta AG (Switzerland).

JAKE PAUL verbally attacked Conor McGregor's fiancee, Dee Devlin, because he wanted to 'piss off' the UFC superstar.
The YouTuber, 25, made derogatory comments about The Notorious' long-term partner in 2020 during an X-rated call-out video.
Paul has no remorse for his actions, insisting insulting the mother of McGregor's three children is not off-limits.
He told ESPN: "I wanted to piss him off. You know? I wanted to make a lot of noise, and I wanted it to become personal right away because I truly believe I can beat Conor McGregor.
"And people don't want to watch a fight where everyone's going in there being like, 'Hey, buddy, good luck tomorrow!'
"That's not the type of fighter I am. If we're going to go into a fight, no like, I'm going to destroy you, and anyone you're affiliated with is a part of the wrath and can be attacked."
Paul insists his comments were fair game considering McGregor's previous taunts about the wife of bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, who he tweeted a picture of and called a 'towel'.
He added: "McGregor's done it. McGregor has attacked Khabib's wife, Khabib's religion, thrown chairs at people.
"Like, this is the fight business. If people are gonna get offended, then get the f**k over and choose a different sport. Go do gymnastics."
Paul's attempts to land a blockbuster fight with McGregor were unsuccessful and he instead turned his attention to Tyron Woodley, who he beat twice in 2021.
The ex-Disney star - who is 5-0 as a professional boxer - is brimming with confidence and will face Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6 in New York.
But he hasn't forgotten his long-running feud with McGregor and recently accused the UFC star of stalking him on social media.

Paul said: "Conor’s gonna do everything he can to discredit me, but it’s clear he wants attention.
“If I’m a nobody, then why are you tweeting at me 10 minutes after that interview comes out?
"It’s like he had my notifications on.
"You shouldn't have f*****d with me, Conor. This is my game. There's a new king in town.

With iOS 16 almost here we’re not expecting too much more from iOS 15, but one – possibly final – update has just landed in the form of iOS 15.6, and it includes both a new feature and some fixes.
As usual, an iPad software update has landed alongside it, dubbed iPadOS 15.6, and the changes are the same in both.
The headline feature is the ability to now restart, rewind, pause and fast-forward live sports games that are already in progress from the TV app. This isn’t something that will benefit everyone but it could be a very useful improvement for sports fans.
Beyond that, the iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 update is mostly about bug fixes. These include a fix for an issue where Settings may continue to display that device storage is full even when it’s not, a fix for an issue that may cause braille devices to slow down or stop responding when navigating text in Mail, and a fix for an issue in Safari where a tab may revert back to a previous page.
So if you’ve been experiencing any of those problems then this update is well worth grabbing as soon as possible.
As usual, though, the update also includes security patches, so even if you haven’t experienced these bugs and don’t care about the TV app update, we’d still recommend downloading it as soon as possible, to keep your device safe and secure.
The update should be available now for all eligible devices, which includes anything that can run iOS 15 or iPadOS 15. Specifically, that’s the iPhone 6S and up on the iPhone side, and the iPad mini 4 and later, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, and all iPad Pro models on the tablet side.
You should be able to find the latest update by heading to Settings > General > Software Update, (if you’re not automatically prompted to download it anyway), but if it’s not visible then check back later or tomorrow, as it might take a while to land on every device.
Analysis: next stop iOS 16
Given that iOS 15.6 has landed around two months after iOS 15.5, it might well be the last version of iOS 15 we get, since iOS 16 is expected roughly two months from now in September.
It’s possible that we’ll see an iOS 15.7 a month or so down the line, but we wouldn’t count on it, and either way, iOS 16 will almost certainly be the next big update.
So what can you expect with that? Well, Apple has already announced iOS 16 and launched betas of the software, so we know a lot of what will be on offer. This includes customizable lock screens, improved notifications, an ‘Undo send’ feature for Messages, improvements to the Focus mode, a redesigned Home app, and a whole lot more.
Basically, this is an update fitting of having a whole new number attached to it, so it’s one you’ll want to download. It also looks like a significantly bigger update than Android 13, which is also expected later this year. | https://www.techradar.com/nz/news/ios-156-is-here-with-a-handy-new-feature-and-a-bunch-of-bug-fixes | 2022-07-21T10:02:59Z | https://www.techradar.com/nz/news/ios-156-is-here-with-a-handy-new-feature-and-a-bunch-of-bug-fixes | true | 6 |
Mississippi Department of Human Services internal investigation leads to plea agreement after embezzlement charge
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - The Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) internal investigation of a Hinds County resident has entered a plea agreement.
MDHS announced that Lashanda Feazell, 46, entered into a plea agreement with the District Attorney concerning embezzlement before the Hinds County Circuit Court on June 20.
This comes months after she turned herself in on embezzlement charges.
While director of procurement at MDHS, Feazell used the agency’s credit card to pay her personal cell phone bill from August 2018 through January 2021, which amounted to $5,741.00.
“This investigation demonstrates the strengthened internal controls we have put in place to identify, investigate, and prosecute fraud, waste, and abuse at any level, by any individual,” MDHS Executive Director Robert G. Anderson said. “This matter was identified through an internal audit which developed into a full-blown investigation that later resulted in an indictment.”
Feazell has paid the full amount she originally stole. She is also subject to one year of non-adjudicated probation under the Mississippi Department of Corrections supervision.

Ethan Hawke's documentary series about Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, called The Last Movie Stars, is an unmistakably pandemic-era project. It's full of video calls, with all of their impulsivity and informality, with director Hawke in a variety of sometimes neat and sometimes chaotic hair configurations (both facial and head). We see Hawke talking to his daughter and his wife, talking to Newman and Woodward's kids, talking about what he's learned with Vincent D'Onofrio and Laura Linney and Zoe Kazan. Most of what you will see on screen is these calls alongside hours of clips of Newman and Woodward (and occasionally other actors) working. And it all feels of its isolated moment, because it is a project perfect for a time of restless introspection about life in general, and thus about celebrity, marriage and art.
Newman laid the groundwork for the documentary
The birth of the series came, Hawke says, from a treasure trove of interview tapes with everyone from Newman's first wife, Jackie Witte, to directors George Roy Hill and Sidney Lumet — tapes that Newman commissioned for a planned memoir and then, much later, burned on what appears to have been something of an impulse. But Newman's kids (he had three with Witte and three with Woodward) later learned that there were transcripts of those tapes, and they asked Hawke if he'd like to direct a documentary using them.
Hawke's solution for making transcripts something to watch rather than to read is to gather actors to read from them as if they were scripts, usually over all those clips of decades of movies and other footage. So, for instance, George Clooney reads Newman himself; Laura Linney reads Joanne Woodward; Vincent D'Onofrio reads John Huston; and Brooks Ashmanskas has a fantastic time wrapping his voice around the words of Gore Vidal (a close friend of the couple who gave the series its name by referring to them as such).
One film, three stories
The Last Movie Stars tells three stories, really, all of them effectively. One is the history of a marriage: Newman and Woodward meeting as young actors; starting a relationship that all seem to agree was intensely carnal from practically the day they met and remained so forever; studying at the Actors Studio; growing older and seeing their careers diverge as he became a megasuperstar; staying together despite a path more rocky than their legend has sometimes left room for; finding new paths in philanthropy and television later in their lives. (Newman died in 2008; Woodward is still alive, but has Alzheimer's and didn't participate directly, although she appears in archival television interview footage.)
The second is a Hollywood history. Hawke explores how Woodward made her way through an industry that didn't celebrate her nearly as much as it did her husband. We learn how today's prestige TV series are not the first such opportunities for actresses neglected by Hollywood. We learn that Newman sank into what some considered a fallow period during his time as an established movie star and how he rebounded with The Verdict. There is even space for Vidal, from beyond the grave, to darkly muse on how the tragic death of James Dean paved the way for Newman's success.
And the third is how Hawke and his contemporaries who do voices in the series and chat with him on Zoom, some of whom you can find with their arms slung around him in old wire photos from the '90s, look on these legends who inhabited a different Hollywood than the one that they've known. Hawke, for instance, is gently led by his wife in one conversation to think about his own starstruck attachment to Newman's legend before he judges too harshly how stardom commodifies human beings. Revering Newman for being from the Actors Studio and not for having blue eyes does not, after all, make Hawke less hungry for connection to someone he didn't know.
How to have heroes
In fact, this third story may be the one that was the least likely to work and the one that feels most unusual. It's easy to understand why the story of Woodward and Newman's marriage and careers is fascinating and why examining it more closely is satisfying; they genuinely did lead extraordinary lives and leave behind great art. It's the director and his friends entering the conversation and musing to each other in video calls that could seem aimless or self-indulgent. But here, it gives the series something fresh and timeless to be about, beyond acting and beyond this industry. It becomes at some level a story about how to have heroes in the first place.
Hawke begins the series talking to these Zoom friends about how remarkable Newman and Woodward were: the art they made, the kids, the charity work — and he raced cars, too. Several times, you can see Hawke trying to figure out how to convey how massive they loom in his mind (especially now, having done all this research). Can you imagine, he keeps telling people. Can you imagine, being at the Actors Studio with James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando? Can you imagine?
How to process the flaws
But it's a complicated story. You can see Hawke wrangling on camera with what Stephanie Newman, one of Newman's daughters with Jackie Witte, tells him about how agonizing the long affair and eventual storybook marriage of her father and her stepmother was for her mother, who she says also had wanted to be an actress. "She was left with three kids under the age of five," Stephanie says. "I was a baby."
Hawke is making a series about people whose careers he admires that is absolutely written as a love letter to much of what they were and did. But where does the pain they caused others live within that story? Where does Hawke, as an ardent admirer of Newman and a father himself, put the fact that Newman felt he was too much of an absent parent for too many years, and that it clearly caused pain to his kids? What role does the extraordinary privilege of having been an absurdly handsome (even he admitted this about himself, essentially) white actor in the 20th century play in contextualizing what Newman was able to accomplish? Not its role in the documentary, so much as in the shape of the reverence itself?
It's not as simple as "nobody's perfect"; making allowances is easy. The thesis of the series on this point, I think, is that you learn the most from your heroes by not excepting their faults from your admiration of them but by embracing those faults as integral to who they were and letting all that you admire coexist with all that you don't. And, in this case, paying close attention to how Newman, in particular, behaved after he made some of these errors, and what he did about feeling boundlessly lucky — a theme that comes up over and over.
A word you hear a lot about famous couples like Newman and Woodward is royalty. "Hollywood royalty." The Last Movie Stars suggests that perhaps royalty is both too much and too little of a label for anyone you admire. Too much, because it puts a dishonest polish on their flaws. Too little, because it robs them of the very things you can learn the most from, which is a thorough understanding of how they dealt with the times when they were vain or stubborn, not good to each other, not good to others, not easy to love, or not easily loving.
This is a terrific history; it is an absolute feast of film clips, full of things I didn't know, full of things a lot of people probably don't know. It is rich and thorough when it is operating as a biography. But there is something especially welcome in the moments in which it steps back and becomes a study of generations of artists and of legend itself, legend as a thing so big it can block out the sun and obscure the messy lessons of other people's lives that are, after all, the best reasons to study them.
All six episodes of The Last Movie Stars are streaming on HBO MAX.

Stay or go? Ronaldo's future uncertain at Manchester United
- For the 37-year-old Ronaldo, playing for Manchester United — still one of the world’s most famous sports teams, despite their recent trophy drought — just isn’t enough. He wants to be competing on the biggest stage, winning the biggest trophies while he can.
The weekly social media posts published by Cristiano Ronaldo this offseason typically have shown the soccer superstar half-dressed, muscles bulging, either working out or promoting one of his many brands.
Remaining relevant and highly visible is clearly so important to the player who, along with Lionel Messi, is the greatest of his generation. That also extends to the final years of his career on the field, too.
It’s why, for the 37-year-old Ronaldo, playing for Manchester United — still one of the world’s most famous sports teams, despite their recent trophy drought — just isn’t enough. He wants to be competing on the biggest stage, winning the biggest trophies while he can.
Hence the current standoff with United, which is becoming more damaging and disruptive as the days go by and the new season looms.
Publicly, Ronaldo has not yet returned to preseason training with the English club because of what has been described as “personal reasons.” The expectation, recently hired United manager Erik ten Hag repeats on an almost-daily basis, is that Ronaldo will be back before the Premier League begins and be a key member of the squad.
The reality, it seems, is different. Ronaldo reportedly wants out after just one season back at Old Trafford, with United no longer in the Champions League or in shape to compete with the best teams in England like Manchester City and Liverpool. United finished sixth last season, 35 points behind first-place City.
So, while the rest of the United squad has been on tour in Thailand and Australia, getting match-sharp and acquainted with ten Hag and his methods, Ronaldo has been back home in Portugal with his family while his agent, Jorge Mendes, shops around seeking a new club for his most famous client.
Currently, there is no buyer.
And the Premier League season starts in about two weeks.
“I don’t know what Cristiano said to the club and to the manager," said United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who also plays alongside Ronaldo for Portugal. "I don’t know what’s going on in his head, if he wants to leave. I didn’t ask them that.
"From everything we know,” Fernandes added, “he had some family problems so we have to respect his space, give him some space and that’s it. The only thing I asked Cristiano when he didn’t turn up was if everything was OK with the family. He told me what was going on, that’s it and nothing more.”
On the face of it, United still wants to keep Ronaldo — he was the team’s top scorer last season with 24 goals and is back to being the club’s poster boy for the marketing department — and ten Hag has called the striker “extremely important” along with being “not for sale.”
But why would other top clubs be cold on a player who is still a guaranteed source of goals, and revenue for that matter?
Goals might be the aim of the game but they are not necessarily enough for a modern-day coach. A certain level of mobility and an ability to be part of a team pressing game counts for a lot, too, and Ronaldo does not offer that, even if he remains a supremely athletic player with that uncanny knack of coming alive in the penalty area and scoring from anywhere. A team’s structure must change to accommodate a player like an aging Ronaldo, covering for his deficiencies and the need to make him the focal point.
In short, his presence requires compromises to be made. He is a problem and a solution.
Maybe, if he ends up staying at United, ten Hag can come up with a system in which Ronaldo thrives and the players around him can cover for him and make the team operate in an efficient way. That's easier said than done.
Thomas Tuchel — the sort of coach who values a team over the individual — clearly thought that wasn’t possible, given his Chelsea team was one of the clubs Mendes apparently spoke to. There was a glaring hole in Chelsea’s forward line, too, with Romelu Lukaku returning to Inter Milan.
Bayern Munich is another team to have reportedly turned down the chance to sign Ronaldo. There has been no desire from Real Madrid or Juventus to go back in for him, either.
Ronaldo’s wage demands are likely ruling out most of the other clubs competing in this season’s Champions League, a competition in which he is the record scorer with 141 goals — 16 more than Messi — and for which he lives.
It leaves Ronaldo in an awkward spot. Still one of the greatest scorers in soccer but a player unwanted by the best teams.
So what comes next? An uneasy truce with United and a sheepish return to a team playing in the Europa League and unlikely to be involved in the Premier League title race? Or can Mendes pull a blockbuster move out of the bag, like he did last year when Ronaldo sealed a sensational return to England?
For his brand and his legacy, Ronaldo will want the latter, ending what has turned out to be a nostalgia project without a happy ending.
And deep down, that might suit ten Hag, too, enabling him to start the rebuilding job at United with a clean slate. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/sports/stay-or-go-ronaldo-s-future-uncertain-at-manchester-united-101658395545749.html | 2022-07-21T10:14:56Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/sports/stay-or-go-ronaldo-s-future-uncertain-at-manchester-united-101658395545749.html | false | 33 |
The All-Ireland senior football final takes place this Sunday (July 24) in Croke Park. PIC: Sportsfile
The All-Ireland senior football final takes place this Sunday (July 24) in Croke Park.
Galway and Kerry go head to head in the biggest game of the GAA football calendar and it has the potential to be a cracker!
PREVIEW
The Galway footballers go into the All-Ireland final in high spirits after overcoming Mayo in the Connacht final before seeing off Armagh (Quarter-final) and Derry (Semi-final) to secure their place in Sunday's Sam Maguire decider.
Two-goal hero Damien Comer was the Tribesmen's star man in their five point win over Derry in Croke Park two weeks ago and manager Pádraic Joyce will look to the talented forwards of Comer, Shane Walsh, Robert Finnerty and Matthew Tierney to provide some crucial scores against a sturdy Kerry backline.
Kerry and Dublin played out an enthralling semi-final encounter in Croke Park. The Kingdom, who defeated Mayo in the quarter-final, narrowly came out on top against the Dubs on a scoreline of 1-14 to 1-13 thanks to a sensational score in the very last minute of the game from the talented Seán O'Shea.
Eyes will be on the young but gifted forward David Clifford as he will look to make an impact while the Galway defence will plan to put a stop to a player who kicked six points in Kerry's semi-final victory.
TIME
The All-Ireland football final will throw in at 3.30pm in Croke Park., Dublin.
TV SCHEDULE
The All-Ireland football final will be live on RTÉ2 from 2.00pm and will be streamed on the RTÉ Player. The final will also be live on Sky Sports Arena from 2.30pm.

Infrastructure Minister confirms resurfacing work planned for Dublin Road Industrial Estate
ONE of the town's worst road surfaces will be brought up "to an adoptable standard" and repaired, the Infrastructure Minister has said.
For years the potholed surface around the Dublin Road Industrial Estate has been the focus of repeated calls for resurfacing works, but it is not adopted by the Department of Infrastructure (DfI).
John O'Dowd says work is ongoing to remedy that and he has confirmed his department has programmed work subject to the successful outcome of the relevant legal process.
He was speaking in response to an Assembly question from West Tyrone SDLP MLA., Daniel McCrossan, on the issue.
"My officials advise that although the Dublin Road Industrial Estate is not currently adopted by my department, an agreement in principle for the road to be brought up to an adoptable standard has been obtained," the Minister said.
"Following the satisfactory resolution of legal issues associated with the adoption process, it is my department’s intention to resurface the Dublin Road Industrial Estate later this financial year, subject to the availability of contractor resource following the successful award of the new interim measured term surfacing contract."
It comes after the Minister confirmed that road schemes across the district should commence following the announcement that road resurfacing contracts have now been signed off on.
Last year it emerged that schemes in Castlederg, Newtownstewart and Strabane collectively valued at £1.4 million, were among many others across Northern Ireland facing delay due to a legal challenge.
DfI had to re-run competitions after three unsuccessful tenders issued a legal challenge and this delayed the award of contracts until this year.
John O'Dowd confirmed the awarding of road resurfacing contracts totalling an annual value of approximately £20million.
Phase one of the department’s interim asphalt resurfacing procurement strategy, which consists of resurfacing contracts for Magherafelt, Omagh, Dungannon, Strabane, Down as well as Newry and Mourne, have now been awarded.
Details of the resurfacing programme in the Strabane area for the 2022/23 financial year will be included in the department’s report to Derry City and Strabane District Council which is now being finalised following confirmation of the division’s 2022/23 contingency funding allocation.
Meanwhile, Mr O'Dowd further revealed thar over £38m was spent on road maintenance in the Derry and Strabane area over a recent five year period, from 2015-16 to 2019-20.
The total expenditure on the local roads network in that period was £38,353,000.
The details were released in response to an Assembly question from Foyle DUP MLA., Gary Middleton.
According to the statistics, the amount spent annually on structural maintenance of the roads network increased from £4,408,000 in 2015/16 to £9,270,000 in 2019/20, when most money was spent.
"Outturns will have been determined by budget availability and capacity in a given year,". Mr O'Dowd explained.
"Structural Maintenance includes carriageway and footway resurfacing, patching, surface dressing, carriageway refurbishment and structural drainage and stability.
“My officials meet with council officers to provide an update on expenditure in their area and these reports are available publicly on my department's webpage." | https://www.strabaneweekly.co.uk/news/2022/07/21/gallery/infrastructure-minister-confirms-resurfacing-work-planned-for-dublin-road-industrial-estate-27751/ | 2022-07-21T10:23:22Z | https://www.strabaneweekly.co.uk/news/2022/07/21/gallery/infrastructure-minister-confirms-resurfacing-work-planned-for-dublin-road-industrial-estate-27751/ | false | 1 |
Prince Charles was allegedly left ‘upset’ over his lack of involvement in Prince George’s birthday who will turn nine-year-old on July 22.
As per hearsay, Kate Middleton’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton carried out the preparation for their grandson’s big day while Charles did very little in the planning of the party in 2017.
According to Daily Express, an insider claimed that Charles and Camilla didn’t plan the bash rather they were ‘invited’ to the event helmed by the Middleton family.
"Carole organised everything and Charles and Camilla were, of course, invited. He went, because he wasn’t prepared to miss out but Camilla didn’t go.
"Apparently she had other commitments."
Charles was also busy discussing a rural protection campaign with Emma Bridgewater.
"Charles didn’t want to miss his grandson’s birthday, but the fact that the whole thing was essentially a Middleton event with Carole orchestrating the whole thing is exactly what upsets him."

It’s the stuff of wedding nightmares, you have everything ready, you travel to where you need to be…and the airline loses your outfits. US citizen Craig Huen was on his way to Gatwick from the States to marry his British bride in Gibraltar. Ready and relaxed, Craig was due to arrive at Gatwick on July 5 with Portuguese carrier TAP Air - but was redirected to Heathrow. That was when his trouble started.
He told MyLondon : “I got to Heathrow and my bag wasn't there. I talked to someone at the desk, he asked for the description and ticket. He showed me the screen and it was the wrong description.” Craig was told the system would update automatically and he added: “I didn’t think anything of it. I went on without my bag. I tried to call them over and over again once I was settled.”
His luggage, complete with his wedding suit and his best man’s suit, had got completely lost amid Heathrow’s baggage chaos. “Every time I got someone on the line, they would hang up as soon as it got to the point of me saying ‘where is my bag?’,” he said. Craig had to fly to Gibraltar only five days later, for his wedding. Still no sign. “I said I needed compensation for a new suit. They hung up repeatedly, and didn’t give me anything,” Craig says. Call records to Heathrow’s lost luggage handler show cancelled calls.
“I didn’t contact them in Gibraltar, I was getting a new suit, and my flight to Gibraltar was cancelled with a different airline [British Airways]. I thought I’d deal with it at home,” he says. And yet a week after his wedding he still had not got his luggage back with his unused wedding suit and best man's suit.
He called the baggage company which handles lost luggage at Heathrow, only for his calls to be repeatedly cancelled. Some of his messages on TAP Air’s Twitter account, the only way he said he could get through, went unanswered for days.
Craig went rogue and tried to find it himself at Heathrow: “I searched through every bag in the terminal on July 15. Every turnstile for the baggage claim was mountains of bags open for anyone to take. I grabbed several bags to walk away, just to see what would happen. Nothing. Anyone could have taken mine.”
He felt constantly ignored, adding: “TAP Air constantly sent me a message saying they’re fixing my problem now, DM us on Twitter.” But it got nowhere. “I had to spend almost £1,000 getting new suits for me and my son, who was my best man. I have no clue if I’ll get that back. The TAP reporting site is so broken I couldn’t put the proper flight number in, the site said ‘sorry you can only send this file size’, ‘your docs are not accepted’. I finally got it through with the wrong info just so I could get it in the system.
“I’m seeing all these reports on Twitter, it’s the same thing from others. Some people were offered £60 to make up for hundreds of pounds in losses. They should be paying out what’s due," Craig adds.
Has it left him with a sour taste in his mouth? Craig said: “It’s been great travelling to and from the UK previously. I know what’s going on, the shortage of staff after the pandemic. But how do you operate an airline when you have no contact with customers?”
It started to look like a pattern when his mum flew TAP Air later in July. The flight was delayed by three hours, and she was left on a bus on the runway for one hour 30 minutes, with “no information about what was going on,” and no air con on one of the hottest days of the year.
After he’d got in touch with MyLondon and the airline regulator, the CAA, things changed. Craig added: “Magically, six hours later they said my bag was on its way.” The experience has made him angry but keen to highlight the issue: “You think you have everything prepared for your wedding. Then I’m running around to find a suit. It didn’t fit me properly, and I didn’t have time to get it tailored. It took time out of what should have been a holiday, preparing for my wedding.”
A TAP spokesperson said: “We are sorry Mr Huen was disappointed by the level of service he received from TAP while travelling to his wedding. We recognise this was a very important occasion for him and are looking into the issues he raised. TAP takes all customer complaints seriously and will be in touch with him directly to help resolve his complaint.”

Portsmouth are back in the race to sign Accrington Stanley’s Colby Bishop, according to Alan Nixon’s Patreon account.
Bishop, 25, spent last season in League One.
The exciting forward scored 11 league goals in 41 appearances last season.
Bishop’s contributions helped Accrington Stanley to another solid finish in the third tier, and his performances have caught the eye of potential suitors.
Portsmouth and Blackpool were interested in his services. Pompey had a fee agreed but the deal fell through. The Seasiders then agreed personal terms, but that one fell through as well, according to reports.
Now though, Danny Cowley’s side are back in for the striker in an attempt to bolster their attack, with Nixon saying that Pompey are ‘set to tie up a £500,000 swoop’.
The 25-year-old would be a useful addition to any League One side, and the interest of Blackpool proves he may be able to deliver higher up the football pyramid.
Finally the year…
Pompey have been stuck in the depths of the Football League for far too long and it is now Cowley’s job to guide them out of it.
After the departures of George Hirst and Aiden O’Brien, Pompey’s attack looked weak, but they have since added Joe Pigott to their ranks.
Portsmouth don’t appear to have stopped there and Bishop could be moving to the south coast very soon. The Accrington Stanley forward is a known League One goalscorer and he could be the key to Pompey’s inevitable third-tier success.
The pressure is on Cowley to deliver this season following last season’s failure to achieve a playoff finish.
It remains to be seen whether Bishop will be signed in time for Portsmouth’s opening game against Sheffield Wednesday on July 30th. | https://the72.co.uk/2022/07/21/portsmouth-back-in-contention-to-sign-league-one-attacker-six-figure-fee-reported/ | 2022-07-21T10:26:49Z | https://the72.co.uk/2022/07/21/portsmouth-back-in-contention-to-sign-league-one-attacker-six-figure-fee-reported/ | true | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Jan. 6 committee is headed back to prime time for its eighth hearing — potentially the final time this summer that lawmakers will lay out evidence about the U.S. Capitol insurrection and President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
Thursday’s hearing is expected to focus on what Trump was doing in the White House as the violence unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican who is one of two members leading the hearing, said he expects it will “open people’s eyes in a big way.”
This will be the panel’s second hearing in prime time. The first, on June 9, was watched by more than 20 million people.
What to watch for in Thursday’s hearing:
TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Committee members have said the hearing will be an in-depth look at what Trump was doing in the White House that day as hundreds of his supporters violently pushed past police and broke into the building.
The panel has already revealed some of the Trump evidence in previous hearings, showing clips of multiple White House aides who tried to pressure the president to act, or to publicly call on the rioters to leave, as he watched television in a West Wing dining room.
But there are still questions about what the president was doing, especially because official White House records of Trump’s phone calls included an eight-hour gap, from a little after 11 that morning to about 7 that evening.
The committee has tried to fill in that gap with witness interviews and other sources, such as subpoenaing private phone records. A panel member, Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said Trump could have called off the rioters at any time, but he did not. More than three hours, or 187 minutes, passed before he finally did.
“The consequences we’re still dealing with today,” Aguilar said.
“You will hear that Donald Trump never picked up the phone that day to order his administration to help,” Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the committee’s Republican vice chairwoman, said as she previewed the hearing last week.
NEW WITNESSES
Two former White House aides who resigned immediately after the insurrection will testify at the hearing. Former deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews and former deputy national security adviser Matthew Pottinger will talk about what they saw and heard in the White House as Trump learned about the insurrection and waited hours to tell the rioters to leave the Capitol.
Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., who will lead the hearing with Kinzinger, said the two witnesses “believed in the work they were doing, but didn’t believe in the stolen election.”
The committee will be “hearing from people who were in the White House, what they observed, what their reactions were,” Luria said.
THE WHOLE STORY
The finale in the committee’s summer series of hearings will seek to wrap up the story the panel has been telling from the start — that Trump was told his claims of widespread fraud were false but pushed them anyway, without regard for democracy or the people who were affected, and that his words and actions incited the riot at the Capitol.
The lawmakers are expected to give a minute-by-minute description of what happened the day of Jan. 6, a capstone to previous hearings that examined the weeks running up to the insurrection.
A Democratic member of the committee, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, said the hearing will be about what happened in three different places on Jan. 6: The White House, inside the Capitol and outside the Capitol, where police officers were beaten and overwhelmed by the rioters.
CLIFFHANGERS
As the committee wraps up this “season” of hearings, like a television show, there are likely to be some cliffhangers.
Among the questions the committee may leave unanswered: Will the committee call Trump to testify? Or his vice president, Mike Pence? Will there be more hearings? Are they holding back any information for their final report?
At least one hearing is expected in the fall, when the nine-member panel is expected to issue a report on its findings, but more hearings are possible. If Republicans take control of the House in November’s midterm elections, they are expected to shut down the committee.
The panel’s work will also continue to reverberate through other investigations, including at the Justice Department, which has arrested more than 800 suspected rioters and has seized or sought information from some of the politicians and others who were allied with Trump as he tried to overturn the vote. The Justice Department has asked the committee for some of its interview transcripts.
Raskin said before the hearings began that the measure of success would be “whether we are able to preserve American democracy and our institutions — it’s a long-term test.” | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/national/what-to-watch-as-the-jan-6-panel-returns-to-prime-time-tonight/ | 2022-07-21T10:34:09Z | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/national/what-to-watch-as-the-jan-6-panel-returns-to-prime-time-tonight/ | false | 67 |
Opinions of Thursday, 21 July 2022
Columnist: Rockson Adofo
When listening to a live interview granted by Samuel Atta Mills (Hon), a brother to the late President Professor John Evans Atta Mills, on one of the Ghana radio stations in their morning news of Wednesday, 20 July 2022, he doubted why Koku Anyidohu is so concerned about the late President. He queried, why Koku Anyidohu is crying louder than the bereaved?
Samuel Atta Mills (Hon) is a member of parliament representing the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem Constituency in the Central Region on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
For him, he does not understand why Koku Anyidohu, the former Deputy General Secretary of NDC, excommunicated from the party years ago, and a complete outsider with regard to the Mills’ family, is always worried and crying about the neglected legacy of the late President Professor Atta Mills.
Coming from the point of view of some Akan proverbs that go, “Onipa no nua ne nnea waboa no”; “Enye obi bribi ne obi, na nnea waye no yie” and “Anomaa nua ne nea 3ne no da dua koro”, I see the question posed by Samuel Atta Mills as completely senseless, if not stupid of him.
From empirical observations, any sensible and honest Ghanaian could tell that Koku Anyidohu really loved and cared about President Mills more than most of his (President’s) own family members. This is an indisputable fact that even an inhibited Ghanaian will not dare venture to say the contrary.
Therefore, he has every right to wail much louder, although an outsider to the Mills’ family, than the completely seeming nonchalant family members of the President.
When the “Asomdwe Park” where the late President was buried was always on the news as being neglected and turning into a forest where people could sooner probably go hunting for wild animals, what did the Mills family do? Zilch! Was it not Koku Anyidohu, now the Mr. Outcast, who has tried for all these past ten years to ensure the place became a befitting place of rest for the late President?
When the place was growing bushy by the day, where were the Mills’ family and the NDC, disgraceful beings as most of them are?
Sammy Atta Mills only came out to talk when he was compelled by the stupid statement issued by Johnson Asiedu Nketia, that mosquito-like being going by the fitting nickname General Mosquito that NDC will boycott the 10th-anniversary celebration of the death of the President if the Mills’ family did not intervene to kick out Samuel Koku Anyidohu as the organizer.
This threat by the NDC forced Sammy Atta Mills to come out with his query and threat to sue some people and organizations for desecrating the body and tomb of the late President.
To be honest with him, I see him as being childish.
Yes, the family members of a deceased person must not only be present but authorize and perform some traditional rites when the body of their deceased member is being removed or relocated for any reason. However, does the family of President Mills care about him that much? I doubt it.
The Ghanaian proverbs above in order as stated are, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”; “He who does you good, is your everything” and finally, ”The brother/sister of a bird is the one with whom it sits in the same tree” or better still, “birds of the same feathers flock together” to wit, “Anomaa a won ntakra se na won tu bom.”
Is this the recompense for Koku Anyidohu, after all the good things he has done for NDC and President Mills? As a zealous supporter of the NDC, he published copious feature articles under the moniker Margaret Jackson and Nana Akua Tweneboa Kodua to denigrate NPP and then-presidential aspirant Nana Akufo-Addo, all in the hope of maintaining NDC in power.
What is happening to him, now a prodigal son is not any karma but the manifestations of the ungratefulness of both the NDC and the Mills family.
I had better stop before I veer off course into a total vituperative attack on the family and the roguish NDC. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/Why-crying-louder-than-the-bereaved-Sammy-Atta-Mills-asks-Koku-Anyidoho-1587101 | 2022-07-21T10:34:37Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/Why-crying-louder-than-the-bereaved-Sammy-Atta-Mills-asks-Koku-Anyidoho-1587101 | true | 2 |

UK defence boost as BAE system announces new deal for 'future combat air system'
DEFENCE giant BAE Systems has teamed up with Italian counterpart Leonardo to announce a Future Combat Air System Programme following a successful deal at Farnborough Air Show this week.
Tempest: New aircraft is ’smarter and much cheaper’ says chief
The deal will see the two countries build on military collaboration giving both a boost to their defences. Aviation giants are meeting this week at Farnborough which has seen multiple British companies exhibit the latest technology on a global scale to audiences far and wide.
In a press release following the deal between BAE and Leonardo, the pair announced plans to work on shared interests.
According to the statement: “This approach allows the companies of the two countries to identify shared areas of collaboration and begin joint analysis on possible activities of shared interest after the two companies reached a collaboration agreement within the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) programme.”
It continued: “In the same context, lies an agreement between Leonardo’s Italian and UK electronics businesses and Elettronica SpA related to demonstration activities on advanced sensors and systems.”
The project will also look into future air combat sectors.
It read: “The FCAS program pursues the development of a technologically advanced multi-domain system of systems, underpinned by highly innovative and disruptive technologies, with a 6th generation core platform, and intended for the renewal of Eurofighter fleet.
“This ambitious project will allow participating countries to maintain national sovereignty in the Combat Air sector, while redesigning future operational and industrial capabilities in the aerospace sector.
“The collaboration between Leonardo and BAE Systems focuses on the application of Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) design methodologies and the joint development of enabling technologies for the national sovereignty of the future system.
“These activities are the natural evolution of the innovation processes already initiated by the partner companies, and assume strategic importance as they explore a technological frontier not yet reached by European industry.”

Aside from aviation projects, the pair will also work at a closer level on electronics.
The statement ended: “Furthermore, in line with this strategy, Leonardo’s Italian and UK electronics businesses and Elettronica SpA have agreed to collaborate in the domain of sensors and communications, aiming to support the technological development of the FCAS project, including demonstration activities related to future onboard electronics.
“This initiative will deepen the established collaboration of these companies at the international level, jointly defining the potential architecture for an integrated set of sensors and communications equipment with innovative capabilities and highly integrated features.”

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace was present at the Farnborough Air Show on Tuesday and spoke of the importance of international partnerships and collaborations.
Speaking at the show, Mr Wallace spoke of the importance of partnerships in light of the upcoming Tempest fighter jet, in which Italy and potentially Japan are looking to become involved.
He said: “We’re serious countries with serious defence budgets and a serious appetite to make sure that we have skin in the game and we are leaders in the next generation of fighters.”
Sweden has also been involved in Tempest and signed a memorandum of understanding with Britain and Italy in 2020.
Scroll down to our comments section below to share YOUR views on this story
The Swedish Air Force is in the midst of its own study of future fighter capabilities, and it’s unclear what their role will be on the program.
Mr Wallace told reporters after his speech that while Sweden has participated in discussions about FCAS requirements, it hasn’t invested in the program.
He said: “Money is important.
“We’ve got to get development up.”
Britain has committed to invest £2 billion in Tempest through 2025 with additional funding to come.
The Italian parliament in December approved a €6 billion investment over the next 10 years.

I tried supermarket own-brand sausage rolls and one tasted just like Greggs
NO picnic is complete without a decent sausage roll.
The perfect one should have flaky, buttery pastry wrapped around a generous helping of lightly spiced sausage meat.
But with so many on offer on supermarket shelves, which will be most pleasing to your taste buds?
We asked writer and mum-of-three Lynsey Hope to compare some best-sellers and she found you don't always have to buy the most expensive ones for your sausage roll fix.
Here's what happened:
Lidl Chef Select Sausage Rolls
£1.39 for 6 (39p per 100g)
Lynsey says: "These looked almost identical to more expensive own brand sausage rolls, you really couldn't tell the difference.
They are a great price at Lidl too at just 39p per 100g, which is amazing value. I'm happy to report I wasn't let down on taste either.
The pastry was just right, buttery and flaky and inside the seasoning was nice. There was a good amount of filling.
These tasted better than more expensive alternatives and were my personal favourite."

Morrisons Fresh Bake Sausage Rolls

Lynsey says: "These were impressive with a lovely golden colour and a tasty filling.
When eaten warm, these tasted quite similar to a Greggs sausage roll. The spicing was spot on.
One of the cheaper options too so they represent great value for Morrisons. I'd buy these again."

Asda Pork Sausage Rolls

Lynsey says: "For cheap sausage rolls, these have a great flavour.
They're a good size so one is enough and hit the spot for a snack.
There wasn't that much filling inside, but it was tasty enough.
They are quite high in fat compared to other brands with 14g in each one, so not the best for your waistline."

"These had a deeper colour than most but the pastry was light and flaky and they sausage flavour was delicious.
"They were very more-ish. Pricey. The most expensive per 100g in our test, but worth a little extra if you are planning a special picnic!"

Sadly though, they tasted a bit too dry and there wasn't enough filling.
Not my favourite but the price was good."

There are surprising and distressing similarities between the war crimes committed by Nazis in World War II and what is happening in Ukraine right now as Russia continues its violent assault, according to Department of Justice official Eli Rosenbaum.
Rosenbaum is best known for leading the Justice Department unit that tracked down Nazis in hiding long after World War II. And last month, Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped him to lead a team investigating atrocities in Ukraine.
The law only allows Rosenbaum's team to investigate the relatively few cases of war crimes involving U.S. nationals in Ukraine, but his team will be sharing information with war crimes investigators from dozens of other countries.
Rosenbaum spoke with All Things Considered about the War Crimes Accountability Group, and shared the process of his work as well as how optimistic he is of justice being served.
This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
Interview highlights
On what kind of evidence is needed to prove a war crime case
These are challenging investigations. I think the work that we've done over many years in this space has prepared us well for this urgent mission. There will be all kinds of evidence.
What we probably won't have very much of is the kind of evidence that we had in the Nazi cases, which was primarily captured Nazi documents. We won't have much in the way of documents, mostly because not much is reduced to paper writing anymore. On the other hand, there are electronic communications and the various governments have advanced capabilities to intercept and analyze such communications, and their state of the art investigative techniques that could not be deployed in the Nazi cases, like DNA analysis and geofencing.
On how various countries work and gather together to investigate war crimes
Coordination is key. We are working hard to de-conflict, as they say, and avoid duplication of effort. That was a major reason for the gathering to be held under the sponsorship of the Dutch government and the ICC and the European Commission.
Basically, the Ukrainian authorities will be in the best position, most likely to help us coordinate and de-conflict and we'll be able to do that.
On the difficulty of gathering evidence and prosecuting cases in ongoing war zones
The fact that the war is still underway obviously brings new challenges, too. But it doesn't prevent us from doing capable investigations. So fundamentally, this new mission is a continuation of the one that my colleagues and I have been privileged to be part of for many years at the U.S. Department of Justice.
The work is aimed at securing a measure of justice on behalf of the victims. In the case of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the offenses are ongoing, and the crime scenes in some instances are going to be difficult to reach, or even for some time impossible.
But the fact that the crimes are ongoing means that these cases are of the very highest urgency. And there is this eternal fantasy of all prosecutors, that timely law enforcement accountability efforts have the potential to deter at least some people from engaging in, or continuing to engage in ghastly crimes.
On the possibility of justice being served after war crimes in Ukraine
I'm optimistic that justice will be obtained. It doesn't always happen right away. There are many, many instances of perpetrators of atrocity crimes, even the leading figures in a government like [former President of Serbia] Slobodan Milošević being brought to the bar of justice. It takes time.
But I am optimistic that what Attorney General Garland said when we were together in Ukraine last month is to be reality in these cases. He said, "There is no hiding place for war criminals."
On Vladimir Putin saying this invasion of Ukraine is an effort to de-Nazify the country
When I hear that, for me, it's like fingernails on a chalkboard times a thousand. It's cruel. It's false. This is not a Nazi government by any stretch of the imagination. I think after almost 40 years of investigating and prosecuting Nazi perpetrators, I know a Nazi when I see one. This is yet another outrage from the Kremlin.

As Involta's President and CEO, Buie will draw on his 25+ years of industry experience to ensure sustainable growth for Involta by leveraging Carlyle's resources to promote and bolster Involta's capacity to deliver innovation and enable digital enterprise transformation. Buie will also lead Involta's pioneering edge practice and work to integrate a higher level of sustainability initiatives across the company's data center portfolio. Additionally, Buie will continue strengthening Involta's channel focus and expand on its monumental, award-winning partner growth with key partners such as Veeam. Buie played a direct role in Involta achieving Veeam's Impact Cloud & Service Provider Growth Partner of the Year 2022.
"It is truly an honor to continue Bruce's legacy as CEO and lead Involta into a bright and prosperous future," says Buie. "Involta has never been stronger, and now, as part of Carlyle, Involta is positioned to expand into targeted new markets across the U.S. The Involta team, our strategic partners, our owned data center and network infrastructure, and wide breadth of services are exactly what our current and future clients need to embark on and successfully complete the most complex digital transformation journeys."
"The Involta Board of Directors is pleased with this strategic leadership transition," said Ed Vilandrie, Chairman of Involta Board of Directors and Operating Executive, Digital Infrastructure with the Carlyle Group. "Involta will still have the opportunity to leverage Bruce's visionary insights through his role on the board while enabling Jim to drive the tangible growth and change necessary to propel Involta into new, sought-after markets across the country."
Buie joined Involta in 2016 as Chief Financial Officer and steadily took on more responsibility to help the company further drive profitability and expand its national footprint. He was instrumental in growing the company's hybrid cloud and strategic consulting offerings through the acquisitions of BluPrairie (2018) and IT|Lynk (2018). Buie also established a cohesive sales and marketing culture at Involta. In 2020, Buie assumed the role of President, where he restructured the company's operations to help scale and deliver services to accelerate growth. His focus on the customer experience helped the company achieve an industry-leading Net Promoter Score of 79.

By Dan Walsh
Craig Fitzgibbon has threatened to break Braden Hamlin-Uele’s arm more than once.
The 115kg Kiwi international always checks, just to make sure his coach is joking.
“On a day off Fitzy will get me to come in and he’s given me a couple of jiu-jitsu lessons,” Hamlin-Uele tells the Herald.
“He’s threatened to snap my arm and choke me out and he definitely can. I’m always hoping he’s joking about that.
“He’s skinny and lanky, he’s like Skeletor. But he moves really well and he’s really fluid. He puts me in these positions without breaking a sweat. I’m stressing out, trying to breathe and just battling thinking, ‘this is f--ked’.
“The guys who are in for their physio get to watch. It’s embarrassing when he puts on a show using me … But it makes me tougher too.”
For all the terror wrought by Siosifa Talakai on an edge, the magic Matt Moylan’s hamstrings no longer hold him back from and fishing-themed try celebrations, Fitzgibbon was always going to toughen the Sharks up.
No word sums up his own 263-game playing career better, nor was more likely to crop up again in the approach that has him pushing Todd Payten for Dally M coach of the year honours.
Ivan Cleary and his runaway Panthers outfit eight points clear at the ladder offer the only other competition come awards night. And come Saturday, they present the sternest test yet of what Fitzgibbon has instilled in a Cronulla club that taught him the ins and outs of rugby league.
With all but 35 of Fitzgibbon’s games coming in red, white and blue before another decade on Trent Robinson’s coaching staff, he will always be a Rooster – and a deserved life member at that.
But some of his most formative footballing years came in Cronulla’s dressing rooms, back when PointsBet Stadium was still known as Caltex Field and his father Allan was coaching one of the club’s most revered cohorts in the late-80s.
Since taking over at the Sharks, Fitzgibbon has made sure his squad knows exactly who walked down the tunnel before them.
“I guarantee to you, Fitzy’s our club man of the year,” veteran prop Andrew Fifita says.
“Lock it in already. What he’s brought in and done around the place, I haven’t seen Cronulla this good in a while.
“The history is a big thing. There’s a wall inside that has our team of the half-century on it, guys like Gavin Miller, ET (Andrew Ettingshausen), Steve Rogers.
“But there were younger guys in our team who didn’t know who Gavin Miller was.
“Over the pre-season we learned about all our old legends. We had full presentations on who these guys are, that Gavin Miller won two Dally Ms.
“Because of Fitzy, now they know, and they know the type of players who have come before them.”
Miller – a massive figure in both the game and those Cronulla sheds - was himself drawn back into the fold earlier this year, presenting a tearful, 198-centimetre Tom Hazelton with a debut jersey that came after five years in Cronulla colours on nothing more than a train-and-trial deal.
As was the case with high-profile recruits Dale Finucane and Cameron McInnes, Fitzgibbon saw the same work ethic and sound character in Hazelton that he has both targeted and gone about fostering in the simplest of ways.
“Everyone’s going in the same direction,” Fifita says.
“Half our team didn’t know the office staff at the start of the year. That’s changed.
“We have culture days and it’s not just the squad, it’s staff included, footy and admin guys, the board are all involved in those things. It’s all in.”
Including Fitzgibbon. A pre-season cultural day saw the rookie coach up in front of the entire club performing the Indigenous shake a leg dance.
He held no qualms about sending seven of his players off to the All Stars match in February to represent their Indigenous and Maori heritage, the largest representation from one NRL club.
Fitzgibbon’s buy-in to what matters to his players comes around when he asks for the same in return.
The 2020 and 2021 seasons saw Cronulla miss 35.4 and 37.9 tackles a game respectively, the worst of any side in the NRL, and a defence addict like Fitzgibbon’s worst nightmare.
Until North Queensland forced an above-average 45 misses last week, the Sharks had lowered that median figure to 27 on Fitzgibbon’s watch, the game’s second-best tally.
“When Fitzy came in he said he saw glimpses of a tough defence in us, but also a lot of warts in there too,” Hamlin-Uele says.
“Defending together has been the biggest thing. Last year, myself included, those extra efforts weren’t always there.
“Getting a third man into a tackle or rushing back to line when you’re not needed, that might not have happened. In the scheme of things, though, you’re making your job harder because they win that tackle and then get a roll on.
“So that extra energy first up in defence actually makes your job easier and we’ve tightened that up. We actually want to tackle.
“It’s an unselfish way to defend.”
A thoroughly Fitzgibbon way, too.

ATHENS, Ga. and LOS GATOS, Calif., July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Lake Biotechnology, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing vaccines using a proprietary transformational parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5)-based vector, today announced the enrollment of the first participant in a Phase 1 clinical trial of their intranasal BLB-201 vaccine for RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) in Charleston, South Carolina. BLB201 is based on an attenuated strain of PIV5 that expresses the F protein of RSV. In preclinical studies, BLB-201, delivered intranasally as a single dose, induces serum antibody and mucosal antibody responses as well as cell-mediated immune responses, and is protective against RSV challenge infection in various animal models. Delivered through the nose without injections, Blue Lake's intranasal vaccines have the potential to facilitate delivery of vaccines to broad populations, including pediatric and needle-hesitant individuals.
"The enrollment of the first participant in this RSV vaccine study is an important milestone for Blue Lake," said Dr. Biao He, founder and CEO. "We now have two clinical stage programs – a COVID-19 vaccine and an RSV vaccine using our intranasal PIV5-vectored vaccine platform, which we expect will confirm the broad utility of our platform."
"An intranasal vaccine against RSV would be a valuable tool to combat RSV infection in both young children and older adults who are most at risk for severe disease from RSV infection," said Dr. Paul Spearman, Director of Infectious Diseases at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and principal investigator of the study.
The study is a multi-center, open-label trial being conducted in Cincinnati OH and Charleston SC. It will evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a single dose of BLB-201 administered intranasally as a spray to adults in two sequential age cohorts (age 18-59 years and age 60-75 years). Safety data will be collected and analyzed, as will antibody and cellular immune responses to the RSV F protein.
Learn more about the trial at https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05281263.
BLB-201 is an RSV vaccine candidate that has received Fast Track designation from the Food and Drug Administration for prevention of RSV-associated acute disease in adults (>60 years) and pediatric populations (< 2 years). BLB-201 encodes a full-length RSV F protein and uses a proprietary PIV5 vector which is not known to cause disease in humans, although it has been commonly administered to dogs as part of combination distemper / kennel cough vaccines for decades. Blue Lake Biotechnology and CyanVac LLC are developing BLB-201 as a single dose, intranasal vaccine to prevent acute and severe disease associated with RSV infection. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that BLB-201 is immunogenic and prevents RSV infection in animal challenge studies.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly contagious and common respiratory virus which is one of the leading causes of acute respiratory disease, infecting more than 64 million people worldwide per year. For most people it causes symptoms similar to the common cold, but for infants, the immunocompromised, people with chronic heart or lung disease, and older adults, it can cause severe illness and even be lifethreatening. Repeat infections with RSV are believed to be common, so even people who contracted RSV when they were younger adults and healthy can be at risk from RSV infection later in life. According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 58,000 children under 5 years old and 177,000 adults 65 years and older are hospitalized because of RSV infection in the US with, over 14,000 deaths each year.
At present there is no preventive vaccine or antiviral treatment approved for RSV, so there is a need for a vaccine that can reduce the substantial health and economic burdens of RSV infection in the US and worldwide.
CyanVac LLC and its subsidiary, Blue Lake Biotechnology, Inc., are technology-driven companies developing lifesaving vaccines based on a proprietary PIV5 vaccine platform licensed from the University of Georgia. Our COVID-19 and RSV vaccine programs are in Phase 1 clinical trials. In addition, the companies have early-stage proof of concept vaccine programs targeting norovirus and Lyme disease. CyanVac and Blue Lake Biotechnology are headquartered in Athens, Georgia, with a second site in Los Gatos, California.

Over 100K Husqvarna Robotic Mowers to Sing Happy Birthday to World's Loneliest Robot on its 10th Birthday; New Update Offers Family and Friends Birthday Song for Automower®
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The most advanced data-collecting robot ever sent to Mars was engineered to sing Happy Birthday to itself, and did so on its first birthday in Space. Sadly, since 2012 its birthdays have gone uncelebrated in order to save battery life. To celebrate its love of robots as the World Leader in Robotic Mowing*, Husqvarna decided this year will be different. Husqvarna has developed a new program for AutomowerÒ robotic lawn mower, enabling it to sing Happy Birthday. "As our robots on earth are so loved and so much part of family life, we thought we´d extend that love all the way into space," says Linda Lindqvist, Product Manager Robotics at Husqvarna. "From a choir of robots on earth to the loneliest robot in the universe – Happy Birthday!" The update is available to a total of 100,000 Automower® around the world- models 405X, 415X and 435X AWD – and will become available permanently in September for Automower® owners as a modern way to add joy to future birthday celebrations.
This initiative derives from Husqvarna´s long history of engineering and innovation, where robotic lawn mowers have played an important role in the company´s success. With technology based on the Automower® robotic mower´s existing alarm signal, Husqvarna used the integration platform IFTTT to enable the mowers to sing Happy Birthday. Husqvarna has been working with IoT and external third-party solutions for years, for example Google Home, Amazon Alexa and IFTTT. "For us this is a way to pay homage to the great engineering work of NASA, and that of our extensive team of robotic experts, by letting our robotic mowers celebrate a fellow robot…nobody should have to sing Happy Birthday to themselves, right?" noted Björn Mannefred, Robotics Software Manager at Husqvarna.
Automower® owners of the 405X, 415X and 435X AWD models that have the latest firmware installed will be notified about the update through the Husqvarna Automower® Connect app where they have the opportunity to opt in and join the choir pre-event. If they accept and follow the necessary steps, Automower® robotic mower will automatically sing at 12, 3 and 6 pm (local time) on August 5th, as a fitting homage to Curiosity's 10-year anniversary on Mars. To learn more and get step-by-step instructions to participate, visit www.husqvarna.com/happybirthday
Want to see the Husqvarna´s choir of robotic mower sing Happy Birthday? Please click here. Use #Automower #HappyBirthdayMarsCuriosity or tag @HusqvarnaUSA and @HusqvarnaAutomowerUS to share your Automower® celebrating as it joins the choir on August 5th!

Russian rockets pummel Kharkiv as gas flows to Europe resume
New feature: Check out news exactly for YOU ➡️ find “Recommended for you” block and enjoy!
Russian artillery strikes pounded Ukraine's second largest city Kharkiv on Thursday after Moscow announced it was expanding its war aims, even as Russian gas flows to Europe resumed through the Nord Stream pipeline.
The attacks on the eastern city -- scarred by weeks of Russian shelling -- came after 10 days of scheduled work ended on the Nord Stream gas pipeline that had spurred fears of a permanent cut-off.
Kharkiv's regional governor said two people were killed and 19 injured, four of whom were in a serious condition.
Three people were killed by strikes a day earlier in Kharkiv, where some semblance of normal life had returned in recent weeks after Ukrainian forces pushed back Russian troops from the city limits.
"We are asking Kharkiv residents to be extremely careful. The enemy is firing chaotically and brutally at the city. Stay in shelters!" the governor, Oleg Synegubov, wrote on social media.
Presidential adviser Mykhaylo Podolyak said there was also some damage on a mosque in Kharkiv, accusing Russia of "contempt" after Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Iran this week.

In Kramatorsk in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, which has seen some of fiercest fighting, a school that Ukrainian officials said was being used as a food aid storage point was also struck.
The school's deputy director Olena Shmadchenko, 56, looked at the destroyed building in despair.
"I have been working at this school for 16 years. It was my home!" she told AFP.
25 percent devaluation
Russian troops invaded Ukraine on February 24 and the war has left thousands dead, forced millions to flee their homes and wrought havoc with the economy.
The central bank on Thursday said it was devaluing the Ukrainian currency, the hryvnia, by 25 percent.
"The new hryvnia rate will become an anchor for the economy and will add its resilience in conditions of uncertainty," the bank said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the resumption of gas supplies from Russia to Europe through Germany came a day after Europe unveiled emergency measures to circumvent Russian energy "blackmail".
In its latest package of penalties Wednesday, the European Union targeted gold exports and froze assets at Russia's largest bank Sberbank.
The German government had been worried Moscow would not reopen the taps on the Nord Stream pipeline after Russia in recent months severely curbed flows in retaliation against sanctions.
"It's working," a Nord Stream spokesman said Thursday, without specifying the amount of gas being delivered.
'Different' war aims for Russia
Western powers have stepped up arms supplies to Ukraine but President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked for more and speedier deliveries.
Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said Wednesday Washington would send four more M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (Himars), which have notably boosted Kyiv's capabilities.
"Ukraine needs the firepower and the ammunition to withstand this barrage and to strike back," Austin told reporters, adding that the new shipment would bring the total of US Himars sent to Kyiv to 16.
Russia has warned about arms supplies and said it will no longer be focused only on wresting control of the east Ukraine regions of Lugansk and Donetsk, which have been partially controlled by pro-Moscow rebels for years.
In recent weeks, Russian forces have hit civilian targets in cities and towns far away from the frontline, leaving scores of civilians dead.
Four months in refugee centre
In an emotional speech before the US Congress on Wednesday, Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska described the suffering of millions of Ukrainian parents and children, and asked Washington for air-defence systems to fend off Russian missiles.
Zelenska displayed images of children who were killed or maimed by Russia, including a four-year-old killed by a strike in the city of Vinnytsia.
Photos of her blood-spattered pink stroller and footage of her final moments went viral on social media.
"Help us to stop this terror against Ukrainians," Zelenska said.
Refugees who fled Ukraine in the early weeks of the war have found themselves in limbo.
At a refugee centre at the Global Expo exhibition centre in Warsaw, some 1,500 people have been camped out in what they thought would only be a temporary shelter before finding more permanent housing or being able to return to Ukraine.
"All I hope for now is to return home... or else to be relocated somewhere in Poland," said Olena Polonitska, who has been living at the centre for four months with her 11-year-old son Kyrill.

MADRID (AP) — Europe’s recent spate of wildfires abated amid cooler temperatures Thursday, with no outbreaks reported in Portugal while French firefighters started to get the upper hand over two major blazes and Spain tamed a fire that killed two people last weekend.
Spanish firefighters were tackling nine blazes, with two said to be especially dangerous in northwestern Galicia.
Some of the 11,000 people evacuated because of the fires in Spain began returning home, and a major highway in the northwestern Zamora province reopened after two days.
Temperatures above 40 C (104 F) and a drought have worsened Spain's wildfires this year. Thursday's highest temperature in Spain was forecast to be 32 C (90 F).
In France, more than a week of round-the-clock battling against ferocious flames by more than 2,000 firefighters and up to 10 water-dropping planes was slowly winning out against two major wildfires in tinder-dry pine forests in southwest France.
The Gironde region’s fire service said both blazes, which forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people, were contained.
Though still fighting hot spots that could reignite blazes, the fire service said it expects to have tamped down flare-ups and tamed the fires’ embers within days. Officials said they will probably be able to declare the fires completely extinguished within weeks. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/European-wildfire-threat-recedes-as-temperatures-17319059.php | 2022-07-21T11:19:29Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/European-wildfire-threat-recedes-as-temperatures-17319059.php | true | 11 |
Covey's analyst-owned community hosts hundreds of analysts–ranging from hobbyists to traditional finance industry veterans, and everyone in between– and is designed to find and reward the world's next top money managers. Top performers receive token rewards, and earn the option to become a Money Manager in Covey's copy trading fund.
NEW YORK, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Covey, the first analyst-owned community created to find and reward the world's next top money managers, closed a $2.5M seed round led by Social Leverage and Portage Ventures with participation from Cue Ball and BoxOne.
The barrier to entry for investing has been lowered thanks to fintechs enabling the mainstream adoption of commission-free investing, microinvesting, cryptocurrencies, and more. However, although someone might have the means to begin investing, retail investors in particular are likely to face obstacles in the way of actually seeing returns, and in turn creating any meaningful wealth. Those that are already actively investing lack market and strategy knowledge, causing over 85% of daytraders to actually lose money. Even 80% of professional fund managers trail behind the S&P 500. Further, many potentially talented analysts are generally locked out of the finance industry due to lacking a traditional education or professional network connections, or the high capital requirement of greater than $200K necessary to start a hedge fund.
Covey was founded as an investment community open to all, to find and rank the best and brightest stock analysts from around the world, so that everyone can benefit from the top performers, creating an unprecedented amount of wealth-making opportunities for all.
For the past year, Covey hosted over a hundred anonymized analysts on the blockchain-enabled platform, tracking their simulated stock picks on Covey's leaderboard, with the users that have the best performing portfolios receiving monetary rewards. Going forward, Covey will reward the best ideas with tokens, recognizing the members contributing the most to the community. Soon, Covey will award the top 10% of analysts with the opportunity to publish their investment ideas to Covey users, who can then implement the analysts' strategies for themselves through the Covey platform. This will allow Covey's users to be able to benefit from the ideas of these proven investors , armed with a transparent view of their performance and investing philosophies, all tracked on the blockchain. Additionally, earning potential is unlimited for analysts as they can receive returns from other users who are leveraging their content.
Covey was founded by Brooker Belcourt, an established investor who spent the last 7 years managing investments for Citadel, a Tiger Management Seeded Fund, and Coatue. Brooker built Covey as a personal tool to simulate and track his own portfolio strategies, but soon realized Covey could be a ubiquitous tool for the future of active management.
"Having spent 7 years personally overseeing ideas at large hedge funds, I learned how hard it was to beat the market, but I also saw a small group of Analysts that consistently won. That talent can come from any background, we need an open platform to find the Analysts that can consistently beat the market and allocate money to them," said Brooker Belcourt, Founder, and CEO of Covey. "It's no secret that traditionally, Wall Street has only been accessible to those who could afford prestigious educations or with deep enough pockets to open a hedge fund, but that doesn't necessarily mean that these are the best people to be heading up investing strategies. Covey is allowing everyone the opportunity to test their strategies and then those with the best performance–whether it be a well-read flight attendant using their downtime to get smart on stocks, a young up-and-coming student who spends a lot of time on Reddit and Twitter, or your traditional financial services industry veteran that frequents the Wall Street Journal–can become money managers based purely on merit. We've seen from recent events fueled by retail investors, that when smart, strategic investors work together, they can beat the market, and we're excited about scaling this community."
Covey will use the funds to continue building its platform, with an emphasis on its token launching this fall and copy trading launching in 2023. A copy trading functionality will be groundbreaking for both the future money managers and a broader set of investors using the platform as they'll be able to leverage these proven strategies with more ease and efficiency, allowing investors to make the most of the money they're able to invest. Additionally, Covey is expanding the engineering team, with plans to almost double its size by the end of the year.
"I invested in Covey because of the founding team, and I believe the best investment analysts have yet to be found. Covey has built both a platform and community that will find and reward the next generation of great analysts," said Howard Lindzon, Founder and Managing Partner of Social Leverage. "Active investing has been losing trillions to indexing and machines over the last decade, when Covey adds Copy trading it will offer a new generation of active managers the opportunity to practice their trade."
Covey's mission is to empower anyone to create wealth by finding, rewarding, and training the next top investment managers —from any background—that anyone can copy, so everyone can win. Covey removes the traditional barriers to connect investors directly to proven top performing investment managers. The top 10% of analysts earn the option to become an investment manager on Covey's Copy Trading app (launching 2023), offering unlimited earning potential as independent investors invest alongside them.
